THE STRANDED BLONDE
By Donald
A look of satisfaction settled onl
youns Harrinaton's face as he sat
at dinner with Dr. Halcdjian.
"Last week 1 put to good use
my long association with you, doc
tor." The handsome youth puffed
B moment on his cigar.
"I was driving my convertible
up to Albany when night overtook
me still SO miles away. 1 thought
I 'd better 'double check my route,
and so I inquired at a roadside
tavern.
"While I was trying to catch the
bartender's eye, an extraordinarily
beautiful woman sat down on the
etool next to mine.
' "She begged my forgiveness for
speaking, and then, quite covered
with embarrassment, confessed
she had left her purse on the bus.
What could I do?
"After three rounds of martinis,
ehe refused anoLher drink, but de
murely asked for a quarter for the
bus home. Nonsense!' I protested
and escorted her to my car
"We had driven but a mile when
a pair of headlights swung into the
road behind me. The girl turned
" around and uttered a cry. 'My
husband! He'll kill us both!' "
"The road being dark and un
familiar, I decided against a race.

So did the black sedan following us.
An enormous man jumped out
bellowing wrathfully. But I put an
end to his posturing by pointin

out the blunder in their plot. 1
drove off, leaving the pair of con
pirators furious but far wiser."
"Congratulations." said Haled

structive one. Henceforth you will

Wild Stowaway Survives
Trip In Hot Cargo Hold
NEW YORK (UPD Police and
immigration officials searched to
day for a wild-eyed man who
burst from the steaming hold of
a tropical freighter and fled the
memory of a stowaway compan
ion who had died of thirst.
The fearful sea tale, was uncov
ered by a crew of tough long
shoremen who fell back in horror
at the filthy apparition which
scrabbled from the hatch they
had just opened and addressed
them in a raving whisper.
He snatched a roll from the
hand of a dockman and wolfrti it
down. The longshoremen silently
pointed the direction he asked and
watched him head for water and
freedom.
None moved to stop him.
He looked like a maniac, one
said.
Seven hours later, late Tuesday
afternoon, the crew found the
other half of the story the naked
body of a man, his gaunt hand
still clutching his parched throat
wedged in the cargo at the bot
tom of the hold.
The ship was the Cordoba, five
days out of Havana, with a reek
ing cargo of tobacco in the hold
where temperatures had risen to
IIS degrees during the voyage.
Cavalry Officer
Treats Bovines
To Mattresses
; NEW YORK (UPD - Maj. An
thony Bramley, 56, a retired In-!
dian cavalry officer who has taken i
up dairy farming, arrived, from
England today to acquaint Ameri
ca with his foam mattress for
cows. '
"I have always endeavored at
my 120-acre farm at Kidlington,
Oxfordshire, to make my cows
nappy, contented and comfortable,
because that is the way to get
maximum milk production," he
told' reporters as he arrived on
the Queen Mary.
There was no evidence the two
men had boarded with any sup
ply of either food or water.
Beside the dead man, who ap
parently had pulled off his own
clothes in his dying agonies of
thirst, was a Cuban passport in
the name of Sergio Manuel Cepe
roy Miro, 31. Immigration offi
cials said the man to whom the
passport had been Issued was ar
rested here for indecent exposure
last December and had voluntari
ly returned to Cuba on the one
way passport.
Officials said the man who sur
vived .the gruesome Voyage ap
parently did so because he had
strength to climb to the top of
the cargo where the heat and
fumes were less intense.
The longshoremen said he toy
them, in a dry whisper: "I've got
to see my family here."
Filthy and unshaven, his hair
standing on end,. he was clad only
in brown dungarees, a dirty un
dershirt and shoes without socks:
the longshoremen said.
His first stop was a waterfront
saloon, where he grasped a glass
in each hand and downed six
glasses of water without stopping
From there he staggered into the
street and disappeared in the di
rection of a Spanish-speaking
neighborhood a few blocks dis
tant. ;
Deficit Seen
By Centennial
PORTLAND (AP) - The Ore
gon Centennial Exposition may
end its 100-day run in the red, the
Oregon Centennial Commission
was told here Tuesday by Wil
liam F. Gaarenstroom, Centennial
fiscal officer.'
Based in the attendance trends
of the last four weeks and the
advance ticket sales of the com
ing arena attractions, the com
missions chances of breaking
even over the long haul will be
very difficult unless there is an
increase in paid gale attendance,"
he said.
Three carnival rides at the Cen
tennial gateway pulled out and
more said they intend to leave
too. '
Food Concessionnaire Paul Ail
said he has closed seven of 22
food stands at the exposition and
probably will close more prema
turely, i
If the exposition ends in the red, j
it probably will have to ask the
slate Emergency Fund for more
money to meet the deficit. It said
money was on hand to meet July
expenses.
Former Student
Visits Parents
Edgar Frank Skelton visited at
the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Skelton, Klamath
Falls, last weekend before mov
ing his family to Ontario where
he will be manager of the On
tario Office Outfitters.
Skelton graduated in the 1959
class of Oregon Technical Insti-i
line and was, according to instruc
tor John Feimer. top man in the
large class. Skelton succeeds
Charies Tykeson, another OTI
graduate.

of the Korean war and attended
OTI under the Veteran's Admin
istration rehabilitation program
He is married and has two young
children. Skelton's wife is the for
mer Marilyn Fanning, daughter of
Mrs. C. J. Bradbury, Klamath
Falls.
Heated Judge
Cooled Off
i
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) r- A
municipal judge who complained
lhat 95 or 96 degree heat "affects
my disposition" won quick relief.
The Alameda County Board of
Supervisors agreed Tuesday to
rent a cooling system for $115 and
investigate the feasibility of in
stalling a system throughout the
courthouse.
"A judge shouldn't be exposed
to this," Judge Edward A. Quar
esma pleaded.
