(UPD Frank Sinatra Jr. resumed his singing engagement at a Lake Tahoe gambling casino Thurs day night under almost the identical circumstances which existed when he was forced to "postpone" it 10 days ago. But when the 19-year-old sing er stepped out onto the stage at Harrah's Club, he was no long er a comparative unknown fol lowing in the footsteps of his famous father. He was a young man whose sensational kidnap ing had put his name before people throughout the world. A few gamblers left their tables for a quick look at the youth, whose famous father had paid $240,000 for his re lease, but they returned to their gambling almost immediately. The young singer returned to Stateline from Southern Califor nia by chartered plane Thursday. the & Lounge HI Name Address BIRTHDAY: Day Mo ANNIVERSARY: Day Mo TONITE!

Judge Critical of Coos Bay Officers PORTLAND (UPI) - Federal Judge Gus Solomon has ruled against a prisoner's request for a writ of habeas corpus but at the same time was critical of law enforcement officers in Coos Bay. The request was made by Paul C o u r t e r Holland, who claimed he was coerced by sher iff's officers and police into pleading guilty to a rape charge. Holland was sentenced in I960 to a five year term for burglary and to 20 years for rape. Judge olomon ruled "the re medy of habeas corpus lies only when a determination in the prisoner's favor will result in his immediate release from cus today." He said Holland now was "lawfully imprisoned" on the burglary conviction. Judge Solomon ruled "the re forccment officers apparently did not tell the prisoner o( his constitutional right to remain silent when being questioned. Records in the case show, the judge said, that Holland was ar rested Sept. 6, 1960. after being under surveillance for several months, and, after questioning, confessed to rape as well as burglaries. Later the same mor ning he entered guilty picas. Holland was reported to have asked for an attorney after his arrest but none could be located to come to the police station be- tore he was questioned, the judge said. Judge Solomon said the peti tion was premature, hut could be brought before the court again. .

FLEMING United Press International BERLIN (UPI) - Candles will flicker in West Berlin win dows again this Christmas to express sympathy with East Berlincrs cut off by the anti refugee wall. As in all of Germany, Christ mas is merry in Berlin but the candles arc a symbol of the shadow cast over the city by the wall that splits it in two and divides families and friends. The wall, built Aug. 13, MM, now is more than two years old. This is the third Christmas spent in its shadow. The shock, hatred and fear produced by the wall when it first went up now has disap peared. Berlincrs have become reconciled to it in the sense that they know it must be lived with and that there is no pros pect it will disappear overnight. Source Ot Sadness But at Christmas time more than ever it is a source of pain and sadness More than half of West Ber lincrs have relations in East drcn, a husband from his wife. Berlin. The wail literally keeps mothers from seeing their chil dren, a husband from his wife. This always is a cause of suffering. At Christmas, a fam ily holiday, it is doubly so. But Germans celebrate their three-day holiday happily and despite the wall it will be merry. Prosperous City West Berlincrs, who live sur rounded by Communists with an ever - present threat, arc thankful that they have sur vived another year, that their city is free and prosperous. In their own prosperity they have not forgotten their less fortunate friends and relations nn the other side of the East West German border. They have flooded post offi ces with packages for the East.

Christmas present in the West but it is a cause for joy in East Germany. Again this year as a sign ot solidarity with East Berlincrs, West Berlincrs were asked to place their lighted candles in their windows. Nut Forgotten The candles were designed to tell East Germans they have not been forgotten and that some day Germany and Berlin will be reunified. Christinas is a three-day holi day in Germany. It begins on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, and the day after Christmas is a legal holiday. ' Although West Berlincrs may not enter East Berlin West Germans may.
