San Jose Doctor
Arraigned for
Attempted Murder
San Jose, Calif. - (UPI) - Dr.
Geza de Kaplany was arraign
ed Friday on charges of at
tempted murder, mayhem and
assault for the acid torture of
his beautiful blonde wife.
De Kaplany, a 36-year-old
former Hungarian freedom
fighter, faces a possible max
imum prison term of 14 years
for each of the three counts.
The doctor, driven into a
rage by1 suspicions that his
25-year-old wife was unfaith
ful, admitted to police he
poured acid on her face and
nude torso, slashed her breasts
with surgical instruments and
injured her internally last
Tuesday night.
Showed Remorse
His lawyer said thai psy
chiatrists interviewing him
found he "showed remorse"
for his action. Further exam
ination was planned..
Mrs. De Kaplany was taken
off the critical list at the San
ta Clara hospital Friday and
doctors said they had saved
the sight of at least one eye,
but that the showgirl and
model would be permanently
disfigured.
"Her face will not look as
it used to, but there is a good
chance she will be quite pre
sentable," a doctor said.
De Kaplany did not reply
to charges filed at the arraign
ment and presumably will not
do so until Sept. 14 when he Is
scheduled to appear in court
and disclose his plea.

Mariner-2 rocket. The 447
pound Mariner is now nearly
one million miles deep into
space on its journey to the
cloud-covered planet.
Facts Crucial Test
But on Monday the Mariner
faces a crucial change of
course maneuver that will de
cide whether it will be able
to take a "close look at
Venus."
The three remaining frag
ments of the Russian space
vehicle are in relatively un
stable orbits and are expected
to have only a short life. Of
ficials of the National Aero
nautics and Space administra
tion (NASA) predicted that
they would burn up !'in a mat
ter of days or weeks."
However, officials said
there was no firm evidence
that the fragments were the
remains of a Russian probe to
Venus.
Another spokesman indi
cated that Russia might have
tried to show its space prowess
by firing an instrument pack
age past the Mariner-2, using
its more powerful booster
capacity to turn the feat.
Same Orbit Track
The Soviet space fragments
are at an inclination of about
65 degrees from the equator,
officials said. This was the
same orbital track taken by
rtussia s twin space cosmo
nauts this summer.
But officials said "not much
can be concluded" about the
nature of the shot from the
position of the fragments.
However, they did say time
was running out on Russia, if
it hoped to launch a Venus
probe as the planet was pass
ing out of the ideal position
for a launch.
If the Mariner-2 carries out
its mission it will be able to
tell scientists if any kind of
life exists on the planet.
Other Instruments on board

dust detectors and a device to
scan the surface of Venus to
determine its temperature.

that seismic explosions deton

are damaging marine life off
the Oregon Coast.
Robert L. Rulifson, water

it will be sought to determ

Wheat Men Approve
Marketing Quotas
Washington -ItlfH- Agricul
ture Secretary Orville L. Free
man said Friday the narrow
margin by which wheat farm
ers Thursday approved 1903
marketing quotas demonstrat
ed their discontent over the
slow pace of farm legislation.
Wheat fanners voting in a
39-state referendum approved
marketing quotas for the 19U3
crop by a margin of 68 4 per
cent. This is barely over the
legislative requirement that
two - thirds of those voting
must approve quotas before
they can be put Into effect.
Of 235,606 farmers who
voted, 161,242 voted for quo
tas and 72,434 against.

Juras Regards New Federal
Welfare Laws as 'Complex'
Salem - (UPI) - State Welfare
Administrator Andrew Juras
Friday called new welfare
laws passed by Congress "the
most complex I have seen in
my many years in public wel
fare." He explained that he would
have to wait until he read the
directives from the U.S. sec
retary of health, education
and welfare before he would
know how they would work.
One new law would up the
federal payment in some wel
fare cases from 50 to 75 per
cent of the cost.
These are cases providing
self -care and self-support
services specified as likely to
prevent or reduce delin

Value of All Farm
Assets Hits Record
S207.3 Billion
Washington -IIIPII- The va
lue of all farm assets In the
United States rose 3.7 per
cent to a whopping record
$207.3 billion on Jan, 1, an
increase of $7.3 billion from
a year earlier, the Agriculture
department has reported in its
balance sheet of aggriculture.
Total farm debt reached a
record $27.7 billion, up $2.2
billion or 8.9 per cent, from
Jan. 1, 1961. The total debts
were equal to 13.4 per cent
of the value of farm assets.
This ratio in 1940 was 18.9
per cent, and in 1950 it was
9.5 per cent.
Equity $179.6 Billion
The assets minus the total
debt left the equity of farm
operators and other farm own
ers of farm property at $179.6
billion. This compares with
the revised equity of $174 5
billion on Jan. 1, 1961. In 1940
the equity was $52 9 billion.
Rising prices of farm real
estate, the principal farm as
set, accounted for most of the
increase in total assets. Farm
real estate on Jan. 1 was va
lued at $138 billion, up $6.2
billion, or 4 7 per cent, from a
year earlier. It was one of the
argost annual increases in re
cent years,

The Improved farm income

Inventories of livestock and
crops increased substantially
in value during 1961. Num

of the year. The value of
sheep and poultry on farms
declined in 1961 but the gains
in cattle and hogs more
than offset this decline. Crop
inventory values were boosted
chiefly by increased farmer

Russian
Landed
By United Press International
Anti-Castro Cuban leaders
and a U.S. senator have voiced
extreme disagreement with
President Kennedy's declara
tion that no Soviet troops
have landed in Cuba.
The reports that "Russian
troops" have arrived in Ha
vana, bringing with them
heavy and long-range weap
ons, and possibly rockets, have
increased in frequency and in
sistence in recent weeks. The
reports sharpened ' with the
attack on an American Navy
plane Thursday by two ves
sels believed to be Cuban.
Kennedy has maintained

Tax Exemption on
Evacuation Claims
Favored by Group
Washington - fUPD - Both
the Senate and House were
on record Saturday in favor
of legislation to exempt Jap
anese - American evacuation
claim awards from taxation.
But the fate of the House
passed bill rode with Presi
dent Kennedy's proposal to
give business a tax credit for
certain investments.
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R
Calif.) succeded Thursday
night in tacking the Japanese-American
tax exemption
measure onto the tax bill in
an effort to speed Senate ac
tion on it. The House already
had passed an identical leg
islation as a seperate bill. It
was introduced by Rep. Cecil
King (D-Calif.).
The legislation would free
persons from paying federal
income tax on awards made
under the Japanese-American
Evacuation Claims Act of
1948. The awards were for
losses suffered when persons
of Japanese descent were up
rooted from their homes in
California, Oregon and Wash
ington in 1942.
Great Losses
Kuchel told the Senate
many of the Japanese-Americans
had suffered great
losses through being deprived
of use of their property and
through forced sale of aban
doned businesses, farms and
homes.
"That act by the United
States against some Ameri
cans was a cruel thing," he
said, "and the American
people ever since have hung
their heads in shame as they
recall it."
Now, he said, the Internal
Revenue Service had decided
that the awards were taxable
and was "taking away, under
the guise of taxation, a por

may be military technicians."
However, the President em
phasized that "on the question
of troops, as it's generally un

Expressed Surprise

The California Republican
said that Sen. John Sherman
Cooper (R-Ky.), a member of
the Senate at the time the
1948 act was passed, had con
firmed that Congress had not
intended the awards to be
taxable. Cooper was one of
10 co-sponsors of Kuchel's
amendment to the tax credit
proposal.
$25,000 Damage
Suit Filed Here
Mrs. Betty Fichtner, 227
North Oakdale ave., Medford,
is seeking $25,000 in general
damages and $916 in special
damages from the Chrysler
corporation and Parsons Mo
tor company, Medford, as the
result of an auto accident
March 19,-1961, according to
a complaint filed in Jackson
county circuit court.
Mrs. Fichtner alleges she
was seriously injured when
her car struck a concrete abut
ment at Table Rock rd. and
Crater Lake highway. In the
complaint she blames foot
brake failure as the accident
cause.
The brake failed when she
attempted to slow the car
while making a left turn near
Camp White, according to the
complaint. She is asking for
$466.05 in medical expenses
and $450 for loss of earnings
while recuperating from her
injuries.
