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. NEALON
Table Rock The harvesting
of the pear crop in local orchards
iwas brought to a close Wednes
day when Modoc finished. The
Hull orchards finished last week.
The earlier commencement
this year and good , weather
through the picking season
brought the harvest to a close
earlier in the season than usual.
From reports the crop here was
about average as to quantity and
average or better in quality.
The Hull orchards, with few
er varieties, finish first each
year, while Modoc with several
different kinds are later in finishing.
Membership Declines
In Italy Communists
Rome. Sept. 28 (W The
Italian Communist party admit
ted Saturday it has lost more
than 200,000 members since
Russia's suppression of the Hun
garian revolt.
The official admission was
made by Giorgio Amendola,
head of the party's organizing
committee, in a report to the
Communist central committee.
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.
Mrs. Helena James, wife of the
Sams Valley dairyman, a recent
caller here, has a forir-cent check
she is keeping as a souvenir. It's
the net proceeds from the sale of
a day-old calf after Bill Bray had
taken out his commission.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Timm of
Collier State park in Klamath
county were brief visitors here
Tuesday morning. The Timms
have many friends here, Timm
having been in charge of Tou
Velle park for several years, and
both being active in the com
munity and its social affairs.
Dr. and Mrs. L. D. Inskeep of
Medford were callers here Satur
day evening. We charged the
good doctor for the cantaloupe
he took, but didn't charge for
the visit, as he does us when we
visit him.
The Milford Vanderpool fam
ily, residents of the Modoc or
chards for the past 12 years, are

lands are being ditched for drainage.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Fitz-
Patrick of Long ' Beach, Calif
former residents of this commun
ity some 40 years ago, were call
ing on friends here one" day last
week. Some paragraphs from an
issue of the Arrow Head Ga
zette, a paper edited by him some
40 years ago for a local literary
society caused him some surprise
and no doubt as to him being
the author, but after inspection
he admitted it was his hand
writing.
Our big truck driving friend
from the Beagle area has threat
ened us with a shower of cats if

win, former residents here, but
now of Medford, are out this

that they, like most families,
both work in an effort to keep

but even then he sometimes gets
close enough to hear him growl.
The Donald Richardson fam
ily of Portland recently spent a
few days here with relatives at
the J. S. Richardson home. They
visited relatives and friends and

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. They were residents of this
vicinity some 50 years ago. Jones
grew up on what is now called
the Loftin .ranch at Beagle,
which was sold a few days ago
to an Arizona man. 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. Alvin, her husband, grew
up in this locality where his
father, E. C. Hamilton, and
brother, Orville, still reside.

6 halftime lead, coasted through

in Fairfax County, Va., charged
with stealing six automobile
tires Sept. 1 from a service sta

worst football season in history
Saturday with a rugged defens
ive performance to upset Purdue

he sparked two touchdown
drives.

Joey Giardello said today he's
"going to sit down and enjoy"
his strengthened No. 2 middle

a decision about future plans.
Giardello enhanced his title
shot chances Friday night by
stopping Bobby Lane at 2:45 of
the seventh of a scheduled 10
round nationally-televised bout.
A series of right-hand smashes
to the chin had Lane staggering
helplessly around the ring when
referee Tony Labranche called a

formerly of Philadelphia but
now residing in New York

Michigan Tips
Southern Cal
Los Angeles OP) A stutter
ing University of Michigan of

Jim Van Pelt and Halfback Jim
Pace had enough spurts of brilli
ance Saturday to defeat South
ern California, 16-6, in Memo

spectators.
Both sides were stopped re
peatedly from getting drives un
derway by 'a multitude of "penal

sessed more than 100 yards.
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.
Southern California Halfback
