Holford Jr., a member of the council's hospital committee which is working with the chamber of commerce, told council members that he had just received a letter from the director of hospital planning and construc tion of the state board of health In the communication, the assis tance of this state office in mak ing a survey of hospital needs in this area was offered, free of charge. The letter pointed out that the bureau of hospilal planning does not maintain a regular survey service and does not have a regu lar survey staff. However, this agency would be able to offer con siderable assistance in directing a survey, though a large amount of tne legwork would have to be done locally, presumably on a volunteer basis. Dr. Holford said he would pre sent the letter to a meeting of the chamber of commerce hospital committee, which might like to examine the proposal as an alter native to hiring the Stanford Re search Institute. The latter service would cost approximately $8,000 nut would provide a professional survey, taken by trained staff. Some discussion followed a brief lalk by Al Condrey, a member of the state judicial administration legislative committee and of its sub-committee on juvenile mat ters.

Rollin Cantrall said that the plan in setting up an eight-man committee had been to have one chairman and seven po tential sub-committee chairmen. Secretary Patricia Bailey said that she thought so new a committee of so new an organization should deal with one problem at a time No action was taken, it being up to the existing committee to dis cuss the problem.

Girls, Murder Involved In French Inheritance PARIS fAP) - A scandal in volving bribery and murder plots over inheritance of one of France's biggest fortunes, is grip ping the interest of Paris. Every paper is packed with it. ft has touched off speculation that people in the National As sembly and perhaps in the govern ment may be tainted by the af fair. Mingled in the scandal are two beautiful call girls and a rich wid ow, heiress to two massive for tunes and a whopping art collec tion. The fortune, in the widow's hands is variously estimated by the newspapers at around 120 mil lion dollars. The fall guy is a 24-year-old for mer paratrooper, who fought bravely in Algeria and also won a reputation for dissipation. He is Jean Paul Guillaume. adopted son of Madame Dominique Walter. She inherited the fortunes and put her brother, Jean LaCaze, in charge of a big lead and zinc mine in Africa. The story hinges about alleged attempts of Madame Walter and her brother to get rid of the adopt ed Guillaume who unless dead or ruined in reputation will in herit a big part of the fortune. She long ago turned cold to the son she adopted. During the 1920s, Madame Wal ter, a girl so beautiful she made even painters gasp, made her way into artistic circles. She married Paul Guillaume, an art dealer, and they amassed a fortune deal ing in art. In 1934 art dealer Guillaume died. The widow needed an heir to ward off grasping relatives. Soon baby Jean Paul appeared in the household and in 1941 she for mally adopted him. Soon after ward, in 1941, she married Jean Walter, the engineer. Although she grew cold to the adopted son. Jean Walter liked him and looked after him. But in 1957, Jean Walter was rid ing with Madame Walter and Dr. Maurice LaCour near Paris. Wal ter stepped out of the car and was hit by a passing automobile, and was injured fatally. That left her, and the adopted son heirs of the joint fortunes. At that point, begins the alleged plot. So far only one man is un der arrest. He is Jean LaCaze, the brother of the rich widow. He has been accused by two call girls one the sweetie of the adopted son of offering big bribes last De cember if they would accuse the adopted son of procuring, or bringing in clients for prostitutes. if such an accusation were made to stick against Jean Paul Guillaume he could lose . his in heritance. Under French law the adoption could be nullified by the rich widow if he proved to be of Daa character. About a year ago the deputy mayor of Antibes, Camille Ravon. came to a judge In Paris with a strange story. He told the inves tigating judge who in France acts as a grand jury that a cer tain doctor Maurice LaCour had offered him about $30,000 to kill the adopted son, Jean Paul Guil laume. LaCour is a close friend of the rich widow, and at present is with her in the Hotel Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco. Both have told reporters by telephone that the story is all a frameup by the adopted son. Rayon told the story to Judge Jacques Batigne. For some rea son, the judge put the Rayon story on a shelf and left it there until last December. Then two call girls told similar stories.

Shop Smith's For Less SMITH AUTO SUPPLY 919 Klamath Gen. Marshall Has Papers Under Lock Until His Death LEXINGTON. Va. (AP)-Stored under lock and key in the Virginia Military Institute's library are the personal and public papers of Gen. George Catlett Marshall. You could not buy them (or a million dollars. That offer has been made and rejected. Marshall has stipulated that they cannot be published, in whole or in part, without his express permission or until his death. Historians feel sure the collec tion holds much hitherto secret in formation on events of the last 20 years. In this span Marshall served his country as the U.S. Ar my s wartime chief of staff, as secretary of state and as secre tary of defense. What, for instance, are Mar shall's views on the controversial issues of World War II? On his postwar mission .to China, when he spent a year trying to mediate between the Nationalist and Com-: munist Chinese? On he conduct of the "cold war" with Russia? And what does Marshall have to say in reply to the bitter per sonal attacks to which he some times has been subjected? Answers to these and many an other question presumably lie hid den in the 155,000 original and microfilmed documents at VMI, where Marshall was graduated In 1901. Or they may be found in the tape recordings of 40 hours' con versation with the general: or in the tapes of interviews with soma 60 of his associates which help swell the library's files. Marshall, now 78 and recuper ating from a slight stroke at his home in Pinehurst, N.C. he also has a home in Leesburg, Va. has turned down many offers for his memoirs. He said he was reluctant to make money from his experiences in public service, and did not want to embarrass living persons through his recollections and opin ions of historical events. Marshall has empowered the George C. Marshall Research Cen ter here to which he turned over his papers to withhold portions of material which, even after his death, might adversely affect persons still alive. MOVING?
