111LKSUAY, Slil'TlC.MBliK 5, IWU MliUKOKD MAIL, 1H1BUNE. MLUIOKU, OKliGUN Castro Spy Story Declared False; Torture Charged Miami (UPI)- Cuban exile Fernando Fernandez Barccnas took back his story of beinc a Castro spy Wednesday and told police he was tortured (or 12 hours and forced to make "false statements." "All the statements in my con fession, including the part where I said I was going to be sent to Cuba as a spy for the counter intelligence agency, were false," the 34-year-old exile told Miami police. "The whole thing was false." Tells of Torture He said he made the confes sion after being tortured for 12 hours while a 45-calibcr auto matic pistol was held at his head. Fernandez sought to bring charges of kidnaping and assault and battery against the Cuban exile Christian Democrat Move ment which denounced him as a spy Sunday and turned him over to the FBf. The FBI questioned Fernandez and several "witnesses" Wed nesday. They said the case would be turned over to the slate attorney if the charges are substantiated. "Thry almost strangled me with a rope," the mustachioed exile charged, pointing to a mark on his neck. He said the MDC had threatened to kill him if he did not confess. The MDC said it accepted Fernandez into its ranks last July and discovered he was a "spy" through "a series of care fully planned traps." Neutrality Praised Fernandez described himself as "neither anti-American nor anti-Castro." He praised the United States' "policy of neu trality" toward Cuba and said he wanted to return there "to endure and suffer with my par- j enls, my sister and my aunt." i Fernandez said he had spent most of the past two and a half years in Kansas City working ; for a defense plant the West-; ern Electric Co. j "Yon have to be cleared by the FBI for that," he said. Before that, he said he worked as a free lance newsman for the United States Information agency here. He had worked for a Havana television station and newspaper before coming to the U. S. in 1961, he said. Graham Warns 01 Judgment Ddy Los Angeles (UPJ) Billy, Graham, speaking to the small-1 est audience of his current 1 evangelistic crusade in rain dampened Memorial Coliseum, warned Wednesday night of a day of judgment when there will be no valid excuse for rejecting the Gospel. "Thoun?nds of people today are too busy with the cares of life, with the problems of every day living, to give any thought to God and the church," the evangelist told his audience of 15.4:,2. "The Bible teaches that there will be a day for which all other days were marie when the whole universe will be gathered before the judgment. We will nut be judged on the basis of our soc ial position, our race, or our bank accounts. "God will judge you on the basis of the opportunities which you have had . . . you may make all the excuses you want, but none of them will stand up at the judgment of God." Graham said that once a per son has heard the Gospel or hud an opportunity to hear the Gos pel, and deliberately neglects or rejects it, the responsibility is overwhelming. "You may escape the officers of the law here, but not God's law. "Every man who has rebelled against God, who has refused to live according to God's will, will face the judgment."

Lynn W. Watkins Kef litu a Tribune SjniUcete, 1981; Gopher Tortoise Too Slow To Escape From Its Death Their day is nearly over. Soon now in mnrtv sootlnns utiara they were once plentiful, the awkward, lumbering gopher tortoise will not be seen again. These harmless rrpatnras tnn slow to escape even their most siuggisn enemies, were once so numerous that n riropn nr mnra could be seen in a half hour's drive along country roads or in sandy, dry pinelands. i-auea me eastern gopher tur tle, these drv land tortoises nr. cupied a rather restricted range throughout the extreme south ern United States, the southern tip of Texas and some small sections of the middle southwest. Club Feet The gopher tortoise is charac terized by possessing club feet without the webbed extremities of the aquatic turtles, a blunt head and a high domed back. Its diet is mostly restricted to plant life, some insects and an occasional small animal such as a mouse or frog. They are closely related to the giant tor toise of the Galapagos Islands, the very largest and oldest of all land tortoises. Even people who think thev know the gopher turtle best, often report finding one in a pond or small stream. However, they must be mistaking this tor toise with some other kind of turtle, for the gopher tortoise never goes into water. It re ceives what moisture it needs 'rom the dew on plants or from juice of vegetation. Burrowing Habits The gopher tortoise probably received its name from the sim ilarity of its burrowing habits with those of the little rodent with the fur and the busy feet which joyously digs its tunnels in fields and pastures of the middle west. The burrow dug by the gopher tortoise is often several feet in depth, and is the resting place of the reptile dur ing daylight hours. It prefers the early evening or dawn hours for its foraging. The creature s club feet are well adapted for digging. With its sharp claws and powerful legs it can excavate a lopsided burrow to a depth of several feet in a very short time. In his burrow he is relatively safe, but too many times he is caught in the open durins the daylight hours, walking aim lessly and much too slowly to escape the slowest enemy. Some gun-happy people shoot the poor old plodder just to satisfy their lust for killing. Death on Highway Probably what has decimated his numbers most of all is his inability to learn the danger of crossing public highways. There, on that hard, unyielding surface, he meets sadistic mo torists whose small, self-centered minds prompt them to run over a lumbering turtle just to hear the crunching sound. These motor-morons often deliberately and purposely hit the slow mov ing creatures. For some strange and ob scure reason, the poor old go pher tortoise seems to go out of its way just to cross a high way. Too bad, for its high, heavy shell is useless against the crushing weight of a motor car. The southern pinelands and sand barrens are going to be a little lonesome without this harmless plodder. Speed Must Be Cut Down Near Schools Medford drivers were re minded today that speed must be reduced in school zones now that classes have resumed. Oregon law requires drivers to slow to 20 miles an hour when passing a school building, grounds or school crossing dur ing recess or while children are going to or leaving school. Exceeding that speed is prima facie evidence of violating the state's speed law, according to Capt. Clyde C. Fichtner. The first few weeks of school are always particularly hazar dous," Fichtner said, "because drivers have grown accustomed ; to maintaining normal speed in school zones during the sum mer and children may be less alert to danger in the excite ment of Retting back to school." Some 9,000 school children in the Medford school district will resume classes next week, Cap tain Fichtner said, and 1,000 students started classes this week at St. Mary's school.
