Tom Bozeman, of Ormond Beach, Fla., came out of the wild Ba liem valley Saturday with two achievements: he talked a head hunter out of killing him and attended a cannibal feast. The handsome young mission ary and his wife have spent the past year deep in the in terior of Dutch New Guinea where a man s social obligations are paid off in human heads. Kill Eight or Nina "We estimate," Mr. Bozeman said, "that an average citizen of the Baliem Valley has to kill at least nine men during his lifetime to meet the various tribal obligations that require human heads. A man must take a head when he marries, when he names his children and for various festive purposes." The minister, a member of the Christian and Missionary Al liance, said he had never be lieved the stories of cannibalism until he witnessed the ceremony. "In one of the periodic fights between the tribes near our "mission," he recounted, "one tribe managed to capture the Rfohrfbin the start.' .

Deaver Tractor AND IMPLEMENT COMPANY "Your Ford Tractor Dealer Since 1941" 634 North Central Phone SP 2-6425 body of an enemy they had killed. Hack Body is Pieces "They turned a deaf ear to pleas from the victim's family that the body be returned and after hours of dancing, singing and shouting, they fell on the body with knives and axes and hacked it to pieces. "They roasted and ate the pieces." the missionary contin ued, "in full view of the wailing relatives who watched the pro ceedings from a safe distance atop a nearby hill." The area in which the Boze mans are working is considered so dangerous by the Dutch gov ernment that it has disclaimed any responsibility for their safety. The only contact the missionaries have with the out side world is by radio and the monoplane that flies into the mile-high area when weather permits. Firm 'No' Ends Bank Robbery Attempt Portland W A would-be bank robber attempted to hold up the Canadian Bank of Com merce in downtown c?ortland just before closing time Friday but all he got was a firm "No" from a woman teller and he finally wound up in jail. Mrs. Marcelyn Willson, the teller, said the stranger ap proached her and with his right hand in his pocket said: "Don't make a move. I want all the loose bills you have handy." Mrs. Willson said, "No, No," and backed out of her cage, closing the door. The frustrated intruder rushed out of the bank and tried to escape in a taxicab. but was caught before he could get away. At the police station, he was identified as Ray Martin, 39. Vancouver, Wash. He admitted serving time in Washington state prison on bad check charges. Greek Hero Dies in ! fT Highway Crash; US Serviceman Held I Athens. Greece IP Greek authorities Saturday charged '. American Airman 3-C Marion iMousalli with "manslaughter by i negligence" in the highway I death of a Greek wartime resist ) ance hero. I (Seek Police escorted Mausal- li, of Benwood, W.Va., from po lice headquarters where he spent the night to the office of the prosecutor to hear the charge. Police guarded the U.S. Em bassy but there were no inci dents . Victim of the traffic accident was Gen. Stafanos Sarafis, com mander in chief of the wartime Greek Communist underground Army. Sarafis was killed and his English wife-, the former Mary Briscow, was injured when Mou salli's American car struck them in the Athens suburb of Alimos. American authorities immedi ately placed the airman under custody of Greek courts. This ac tion was credited with channel ing public sentiment into mere sorrow for Sarafis' death in an unfortunate accident rather than bitterness a g a i n st American forces in Greece. Criticizes Police Chicago OP Police officials here criticized charges by an Italian nobleman that they only performed "one fifth of the job" in their expensive efforts to track down his missing son. Count Ludovico Barattieri di San Pietro, ftalian consul-gen-erl to Chicago, a diplomat to his fingertips, then responded to po lice criticism by commending them for time and energy spent in search of his son, Vittorio, 14, and promised to send a check to the Police Benevolent associa tion. Stung by Barattieri's charges. Police Commissioner Timothy J. O'Connor defended the sleuthing of local police and pointed out that it cost the police depart ment "between $40,000 and S80, 000" since the boy was reported missing April 16. Not only had 40 detectives been working full time on the case, said O'Connor, but they had "arrested a man who at tempted to extort $5,000 from the family." O'Connor also noted that Vit torio had been in New York an hour before police had been noti fied of his absence. Coin Thought Freak Of Philadelphia Mint Princeton. N. J. (U.R) Ken neth Shedden, operator of a stamp and coin shop, has one for the books a coin the size of a quarter, with the imprint of a half dollar and the weight of a dime. The paper-thin disc arrived at a Trenton bank several weeks ago in a bag of 19S4 half-dollars and was turned over to the Prin ceton shop-keeper by a bank of ficial. Shedden believes the coin is a freak of the Philadelphia mint caused by placing the amount of metal intended for a dime stamp into a half dollar stamp. There was not quite enough metal to fill out the stamp with the result it came out the size of a quarter. Eight Factors Make Oiie Unfit To Wed Los Angeles OI.R) Three University of California re searchers believe tehy have dis covered eight distinct and pos sibly universal factors that may make a person unfit for mar riage. TQe factors are: low self-opinion, adolescence "hangover," early conditioning to marriage, cumulative ego strain, homosex ual tendency or male passivity, sex dissatisfaction and projec tion, revolt against femininity and flight into rejection. The researchers, Ahmed El Senoussi and Dr. Andrew L. Comrey, both psychologists, and Dr. Jacob S. Druckman, a psy chiatrist, explained adolescence "hajigover" as bringing adoles cent instability into marriage. Sex dissatisfaction and pro jection were explained by those who blame their own sexual fail ure on their mate. And "flight into rejection" seems to be those cases of people who reject thCir husbands and wives because they themselves are rejected. The three researchers based their findings on the survey of 50 marital failures representing a wide range of social, economic, educatio nal and intellectual backgrounds.
