He is Pablo Diego Jose Francis co de Paula Juan Nepomucenc Crispin Crispiniano de la Santissi- ma Trinidad Ruiz Blanco. He was born in Malaga, Spain, but has , spent most of his working life in France. He calls himself Pablo Picasso for short. How rich is Pablo? No one knows how much hej has salted away, but art critic and! connoisseur Alfred Frankfurter es timates that all the Picassos in existence today are worth about 100 million dollars. Only recent ly the state museum at Stuttgart, Germany, paid $250,000 for a Pi casso entitled "Les Baladins" (The Clowns) the highest price ever paid for the work of a living painter. Les Baladins was painted during his famous "Blue Period" in which he portrayed sad and morbid clowns and circus dancers in gloomy blue colors. His "Blue Period" was followed by his "Pink Period." One of nisi Pink Period canvasses (a nude' was auctioned recently and brought $60,000. Compared to Pablo. Michelan gelo, the most celebrated artist of the Italian Renaissance and prob ably the greatest figure in the his tory of art, was practically i pauper. v How did Picasso get that way' It's a long story. Painting got lis start back in the Ice Age, some 30,000 years ago, when Pale olithic man lived in caves and started painting on his cave walls pictures - of the animals he saw around him and hunted. These pictures are still to be seen on the walls of the Cro Magnon caves in France. They LOOK! LIKE SOMETHING. They look1 just like the animals Cro-Magnon man saw. Paintings continued to look like something until Paul Cezannel came along, in the late 1000's. Ce zanne didn't have much luck paint ing pictures that looked like some thing. So he got. an idea. He said to himself one day: "Every thing in nature is a cylinder or a cube." He then started painting pictures- that looked like cylinders or cubes. Picasso saw some of his stuff and went him one better adding to Cezanne's cylinders and cubes squares, triangles and oth er geometric forms. This was the start of Cubism in art. This Cubism business intrigued t him, so Picasso painted a pic- ' ture that he called "The Threcl Musicians." It is now in the Phil adelphia Museum of Art. This is a . black and white coovof it: Why did he call it "The Three Musicians?" Personally, I wouldn't know. If you can see in it any resemblance to three mu sicians, you're a better man than 1 am, Gunga Din. I'm sorry to confess it, but to me it looks very much like a pile of old stuff one might have cleaned out of the attic and stacked up in the alley! for the junk man to haul olf. But it must have caught on. Otherwise, the Philadelphia Muse um of Art wouldn't have bought it. It probably cost a pretty pen ny, because Picassos have never gone for nothing For the past 20 years, Picasso has lived in the little French Rivi era village of Vallauris, which as this is written is giving a week end party in his honor. The town council sent out more than 4.000 invitations. arO includ ed such distinguished fellow ar tists as Sir Winston Churchill and French modernist Bernard Buf fet on the list. . e For some reason, they over- looked Dwight D.

Clearly implying that the Krem lin would go ahead with the arctic test Monday or Tuesday, he de nounced as "strange logic" dec larations made in the United Na lions and elsewhere that such a test would be immoral. Khrushchev made his comment to the 22nd Congress of the Com munist Party Friday just as the U.N. General Assembly ncared an 87-11 vote urging cancellation of new tests.

The pre mier said that opposition to the tests was nothing but a "clamor raised by bourgeois propaganda."

General Assembly Saturday confronted the Soviet Union with a solemn appeal to call off its 50-megaton test set for the month's end. The international body approved the resolution by a smashing vote of 87-11 with one abstention. did not know Linda, although he might have seen her at school, where he was a class behind her. Young Brown told authorities he planned to steal a car, and picked the home of Linda's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Fox, Gresham, because he thought an old woman lived .there and would easily give up the vehicle. Linda told police she was not molested at all during her cap tivity. . The abduction took place Thurs day evening just after Mr. and Mrs. John Fox had pulled into the driveway of their Gresham home. Police said Linda told them a boy wanted their car. Then a youth confronted them with a shotgun, ordered the par ents into the basement, locket; them in, and then drove away with the girl in the family car. Brown told police he and two friends had planned to meet at the cabin and go on to Nevada, but the plan flopped when the others failed to arrive and the car got stuck in some mud. Officers said they suspected Brown may have been the ab ductor after they learned that he had not been seen at home Thurs day and a shotgun and shells had been taken from a house near where the youth lived. 1 - zTm-t&cz!; THE WINTRY TOUCH Rain which later turned to mow hit the Klemath Basin Friday, covering everything' with a winter blanket.

Fallout Flies Over Oregon WASHINGTON (AP)-The high flying fallout cloud from Russia's big nuclear explosion passed over the Northwestern United States during the night and was headed Saturday across the northern states toward the Great Lakes and southeastern Canada. The Weather Bureau made this! estimate Saturday and repeated there is no cause for alarm. Fall out expert Robert List said lie would expect the same general levels of radioactivity as were observed with some of the earlier Soviet bomb clouds. 'We would be surprised," he said, "if we get any more debris from this than any other Russian explosion." List said the invisible concen tration of radioactive ash from Monday's big detonation passed over Washington, Oregon and Northern California early Sat in-day and headed toward the Great Lakes. He estimated it was being car ried by about 80-milc-an-hour winds and that it was possibly a couple of hundred miles wide.

TU 4-8111 No. 8829 Air Force Plane Defies Commies BERLIN (AP) Soviet and American tanks withdrew from the touchy Berlin border front lines Saturday after confronting each other all night long at 200-yards range. Tension was cased for the mo ment, but less than two hours) later the United States sent an1 Air Force transport plane over the Communist section of the city twice in defiance of the Soviets. The flights appeared intended! to underline what the Western Allies consider one of their rights in Berlin the right to fly over! any part of Berlin, on the basis of postwar agreements. The tanks had confronted each other Friday night at Friedrich- strasse Checkpoint Charlie ! after the Americans for the, third straight day had reasserted an other right claimed by the West, the right to movo into and out of the Eastern sector without be ing checked by East Germans. ..As soon as tha tanks pulled back the East Germans relaxed. their stiff controls at the border and waved , border crosscrs through with a smile. A regularly scheduled U. S. Ar my sightseeing bus passed Into East Berlin without being halted. It carried 22 officers and men, all in uniform. Last Wednesday two similar buses were refused entry by the East .Germans and the Americans declined to make an Issue of it, saying they did not wish to endanger women aboard.t The Soviets were the first to pull bark their tanks. Ninety min Ship Fails two messages Friday informing U.S. authorities the Bahia de Nipe was heading for Miami and that her master, chief engineer, radio man and chief mate would seek political asylum. One message gave the ship's po sition around noon Friday as about 100 miles east of Jackson ville, Fla. The names of the de fectors were not known, nor was the number of', crewmen aboard the vessel. The Coast Guard, in fact, said it had no way of confirming the radio messages actually came from the Bahia' de Nipe. But a spokesman said there was no rea son to doubt they did.

Air Forca C47 flew into East Berlin and circled for-10 minutes over I ho area where 40 tanks are parked. This plane flew at about 600 feet, banking steeply for better vision. Its wing tips were painted a bright orange. The plane cir cled the Immediate area behind the Frledrichstrasse- checkpoint 8 to 10 times. It was watched by Brig. Gen. Frederick O. Hartel, U. S. troops commander in Berlin, from the American side of the border. . Less than an hour later, anoth- ' er flight was made. This, time, a C47 flew deeper into East Berlin and at a higher altitude. It made a wide circle over the inner part of East Berlin and thea flew back to the West. . The Soviets, in a letter deliv ered Thursday and made public oaiuraqy, proiesiea uignis over East Berlin by U.S. helicopters, v contending that East Berlin be longs to the East Germans. The United States rejected the protesrc saylhg such flights were in accord with "long-established usage." . The flights could extend the dispute over rights in Berlin to the air lanes, where East and West are also at odds. Western planes use three air corridors between isolated West Berlin and the Western world. Traffic through them, across Soviet-occuoied East Germany, is controlled with So viet cooperation by the Berlin Air Safety Center one of the few remnants of four-power control in Germany. To Arrive ton freighter, came to light last Aug. 17 when Cart. Jorge Angus tin Navarro, then master of the vessel, and 10 other crewmen sailed the Bahia de Nipe into Norfolk. The 11 defectors were given po litical asylum and 23 other crew men took the Bahia de Nipe back " to Cuba, sailing from Norfolk Sept. 17 a month after they arrived.
