to refer to East European na

S i 1 v i n Brucan, Romania
ambassador to Washington,
told the U.N. political commit

"If he continues to use this
language then he should bear
in mind that we can do like
wise and that the conquest by
force in the last century of
Texas and Hawaii, of Cuba

Lebanon and the Formosa
Strait, fully and abundantly
provides us with a historic
background to call the United
States names."

Topic of Article
A story entitled "Jackson
ville Living Ghost Town,"
will appear in a forthcoming
issue of one of the nation's
leading factual western mag
azines, according to Angel Le
shikar, associate publisher of
Western Publications.
The story was written by
Mrs. Virginia Card, Medford
free-lance author. It will be
in either True West or Fron
tier Times, both of which are
put out by, the same firm.
Mrs. Card has not yet been
notified in which issue of
wMch magazine the story will
appear.
The article describes Jack
sonville today, and relates
some of its colorful history,
and is factual in all details, in
sofar as research could make
it so, Mrs. Card said.
The story will be illustrat
ed by photographs and
sketches, and includes the
Centennial theme being ob
served in Oregon. Some of the
Centennial plans in prepara
tion for Jacksonville also are
described.
CHILD PROBLEM
Seoul, Korea -IUPD- Seoul
police asked parents today to
affix a name and address to
each child under school age.
Police said officers are now
spending altogether too much
time searching for lost chil
dren and returning those they
find.
In-Law Problems
Create Problems
Memphis, Tenn - (UPD -Chief
Petty Officer John Ebaugh
has in-law problems-but not
the ordinary kind.
"I can' tell kinfolks with
out a score card," the retiring
Navy man said Tuesday.
The confusion arose, he
said, when his father married
his sister-in-law. This made
the sister-in-law Ebaugh's step
mother and his wife his step
sister. Not only that, his stepmoth
er is both the stepmother and
the grandmother, by mar
riage, of Ebaugh's son.
"The problem is relative,"
Ebaugh quipped, "once you
get the hang of being your
own brother-in-law."

Caril Fugate's
Murder Trial .
Nearing Jury
Lincoln, Neb.- (UPD -The al
most month-long murder trial
of a 15-year-old school girl
drew near its end today with
prosecution and defense attor
neys delivering their closing
arguments.
The prosecution charges
Caril Ann Fugate helped her
boy friend, Charles Stark
weather, 19, slay at least one
of his 11 victims last winter
Robert Jensen, 17. She is as
guilty of murder as though
she fired the fatal shot, ac
cording to the state.
Faces Death Penalty
If found guilty she faces
the same death penalty as was
imposed on Starkweather for
the same slaying; a conviction
that he has appealed to "the
State Supreme court. How
ever, County Attorney Elmer
Scheele was not expected to
indicate until the last moment
whether he would seek execu
tion for Caril.
The defense maintains Caril
was merely a frightened child.
She accompanied Starkweath
er through nine murderous
days in the belief that this
would save the lives of her
family and herself, according
to Caril's story.
No Time Limit
Judge Harry A. Spencer set
no time limit for the closing
arguments, but the attorneys
agreed with his suggestion
that they confine their re
marks to the five-hour court
day, to be divided equally.
Under rules of the court,
Scheele was to lead off, using
no less than half his allotted
time. Defense attorney John
McArthur was to come next,
followed by Scheele's final
argument.
Spencer will deliver his in
structions to the seven-man.
five-woman jury Thursday,
after which the jurors wUl
retire to decide Caril's fate.
