Miss South Africa
Says Contest Won
Through Politics
Johannesburg, South Africa
-niPII- Miss South Africa of
1962 returned Wednesday
from the Miss Universe con
test in Miami Beach with a
blast against American food,
women's clothes and men.
Eighteen - year old Lyn
ette Gamble complained that
American men are "wolves,"
the food is "unflavored," the
women's clothes "look silly"
and Miss Argentina won the
contest because of politics.
Miss Gamble did not place.
Not Sour Grapes
"Nobody thought Miss Ar
gentina should have won," she
said. "This is not sour grapes,
but I thought the girl who
should have won was Miss Is
rael. I think the choice had
something to do with politics
as the Americans are having
trouble with South America."
Other comments:
Mcn-"Hundreds of wolves
followed us everywhere. We
were never free from them. In
streets, hotels and elevators,
they pestered us. They made
South Africa's Casanovas look
like babies."
Food-"They don't know how
to eat. Their food is unfla
vored and there are no veget
ables-only green beans."
Clothes - "My clothes made
those of the American girls
look silly. They wear sand
shoes with everything."
The contest - "Like a cattle
competition."
Thought Barbarian
International - "There is a
strong anti-South African feel
ing in the United States.
Americans hate us. They
thought I was a barbarian be
cause I came from South Af
rica. Honestly they don't think
we are civilized-they think
we are like wild animals."
. Provincialism - "All Amer
icans know about is the Unit
ed Slates and they only know
about the particular place in
which they happen lo live."
What, she was finally asked.
did she think of her trip as a
whole?
"I had a wonderful time,"
she said. "New York Is fabu
lous and so was Miami."
Ravello, Italy - (IW - Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy will
spend her vacation here next
month in a villa more than
700 years older than the
White House.
The Villa Sangro, where
Mrs. Kennedy and her daugh
ter, Caroline, will live for
two weeks early in August,
affords the same privacy as
the White House, with a high
wall screening it from the
rest of the village.
But there Ravcllo's paral
lel with Washington ends.
The village is perched on a
1,227-foot hill overlooking
some of the most beautiful
coastline in the world. Instead
of broad avenues and heavy
traffic, it has winding streets
little changed from the Mid
dle Ages and rigidly enforced
quiet.
Other femous guests have
lived in the villa before the
First Lady. They include
Richard Wagner, who wrote
the Third Act of his opera,
Parsifal, in a nearby villa
In the last century; Italian
King Victor Emmanuel HI,
who maintained contact with
the nearby Allied headquart
ers at Salerno and made his
decision to abdicate in 1943;
conductor Leopold Stokowski,
and Greta Garbo.
Built for Bishop
The villa was built in 10B6
as a residence of Orso Papice,
the first bishop of Ravello.
The town was thriving then;
by the 13th Century it had
36,000 inhabitants. But then
it declined and the church
withdrew its bishop. The villa
was sold to a succession of
owners. The present owners
arc the family of the duke of
Sangro. The regular occupant
of the villa is Francesco
Parisi, an engineer in Rome.
Ravello has more than his
tory lo offer vacationers, li
sils above the Amalfi Drive,
which takes thousands of tour
ists yearly along the most
beautiful stretch of coastline
in all Italy. Narby are the
famous Mediterranean resort
towns of Amalfi and Positano.
The water is also the easiest
approach route for Ravello,
and the chances are that Mrs.
Kennedy will use it. Alterna
tively, she may drive the 26
miles south from Naples to
Salerno, wartime Allied head
quarters, and then lake a
winding road nine miles back
north to Ravello.
The road is so narrow and
i twisting that the drive nor
mally takes an hour.
Guard Againit Noitt
; Ravcllo's relative isolation
helps keep it quiet, and its
i police force cracks down
quickly on any motorcyclists
ior other noisemakers who
i manage to get through.
I Italians warmly welcomed
j Mrs. Kennedy on her first
brief visit to Italy this year.
She slopped over in Rome
for 33 hours on her way to
India and Pakistan in March
and had an audience with
Pope John XXIII.
The Italian press criticized
the excessive zeal of the se
curity men guarding Mrs.
Kennedy on her last visit and
complaints already have been
voiced about the arrange
ments for her vacation.
The magazine, Lo Spccchio,
said three Secret Service men
already have arrived in
Ravello.
SUPPORTS BILL - AFL-CIO president George Meany is
shown as he appeared before the Senate Finance Committee
speaking in support of President Kennedy's trade bill. Meany
told the Congressmen that the nation "cannot do without"
the bill, as long as it contains protection for workers and
industries. (UPI)

Tax Increase Okayed
By Portland Council
PortlandJUPIl-A budget call
ing for a $1.4 million tax in
crease has been reaffirmed by
the city council and sent
