EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, September 29, 1957 Venezuela Beauty Blasts Magazine, Refuses Interview Havana, Cuba OP Francesca De Scaffa Saturday blasted re ports naming her as a tipster for Confidential magazine stor ies as "a pack of lies." She added she planned to sue the publi cation, its publisher and its for mer editor for libel. The Venezuelan beauty was listed as a key figure in the Confidential libel trial, still hanging fire in Hollywood. She flew to Havana from Mexico, where she had been hiding, on the way to South America. Accompanied by her four-year old daughter Alfonsina and her private secretary, Miss DeScaf fa refused to talk to reporters at Havana s Rancho Boyero air port. However, when her secretary and her daughter went on ahead Miss De Scaffa accepted a Un ited Press reporter's offer of lift into town in his car. In an interview en route, she told the UP of her plans for libel suits and disclosed she plan ned to divorce her Mexican bull fighter husband Jaime Bravo whom she married in March Obviously angry and chain smoking cigarettes, she said: "I wish to deny most emphat ically the series of lies, sland erous accusations and fabrica tions published in Mexico. Mex ican newspapermen are a bunch of goons who persecuted me mercilessly. ' "My New York attorneys Rog ers and Strauss, are preparing suit against Confidential and Bob Harrison. "I will also sue Howard Rush more who is responsible for this scandal against me." Robert Harrison is . publisher of Confidential and Rushmore is its former editor. (The New York telephone di rectory does not list any -law firm under the name of "Rogers and Strauss.") Denied Slories Miss De Scaffa denied there was any truth to Confidential magazine stories about Burt Lan caster and the Shah of Iran for which she allegedly supplied in formation. "It's all a pack of lies," she said. As for Bravo, she said she is divorcing him because "being married to a bullfighter is too much trouble." She was married previously to Hollywood movie actor Bruce Cabot. TABLE ROCK Area Pear Crop Harvested By R. E.

It was published Saturday in the party newspaper, "L'Unita." Amendola told the committee more than one out of every 10 Italian Communists failed to re new their party cards despite a desperate eight-r.ionth recruiting campaign. Political observers believed the party defections were actu ally far higher than officially admitted.

Bruins Clip lllini 16-6 In Coliseum Los Angeles OP) UCLA's Bruins took advantage of fum bles and a blocked kick Friday night to score a 16-6 victory ov er Illinois in the Los Angeles Memorial Colliseum. The win was the Bruins' first in four games with Illinois, and they felt lucky they had had a warm-up game with the Air Force academy which they won 47-0 last week. It was the first game of the season for the lllini, and they showed what coach Ray Eliot meant when he said he had a "very green team." Bruin fullback Ray Smith re covered an Illinois fumble on the 28 late in the first quarter. Five plays later Kirk Wilson plunged six yards for UCLA's first score. Leek Blocks Punt Lineman Bill Leek blocked a punt by Illinois quarterback Tom Haller just six minutes lat er to set up the second touch down. Tailback Chuck Kendall pass ed 33 yards to the 6, and full back Barry Billington went ov er from the 1 for the second score. Then with less than a min ute left in the second half, the Bruins kicked a 24-yard field goal to end their scoring for the game. The second half belonged to the lllini who made two long drives, one of which was blunt ed by a fumble. Among many visitors from California, who were former residents here, were .Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jones of Sacramen to, who visited relatives here Fri day.

Mrs. Jones, the former Alberta Stacey, was a popular school teacher who taught in many schools of the valley some 50 years ago. During the past few months we have, met many people from California, some former resi dents here, some tourists, others looking for a change of location. Many stop off to buy some Oregon produce and to inhale and praise our pure smog-free air. Since the Oregon tax set up is becoming such an issue we ask them about taxes in their state and invariably find that they condemn them as a burdensome nuisance. In conversing with a lady who operates a small business in Sac ramento, we told her many Ore gon people think they would like the California tax plan. In reply, she said: 'If you think you would enjoy it just imagine yourself paying a four per cent sales tax, a state property tax, a county sales tax, a city sales tax, the Federal income tax, and the tax on so-called luxuries." Most of the people we talk to are oper ators of small business, trades people and wage earners. Several local residents at tended the funeral of Mrs. Mable Hamilton in Medford who death was caused by the sudden flare up of flames from a camp fire. The Hamiltons are well known here.

Giardello Stops Lane Cleveland (IP) Hard-hitting Joey Giardello said today he's "going to sit down and enjoy" his strengthened No. 2 middle weight contender's spot until either Sugar Ray Robinson or champion Carmen Basilio makes a decision about future plans.

But when it needed the push, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's team came through, picking up a touchdown and a safety in the second period and another touch down in the third.
