V Suicide-Bent Prisoner Sent To State Hospital A suicide attempt by an in mate of the Klamath County Jail resulted m the transfer of the victim to the State Hospital at Salem Friday afternoon. Sheriff Murray "Red" Britton has dis closed to the Herald and News. The victim was Raymond Hoo ver, 30, Cmloquin, who slashed his arm below the elbow with a razor blade while occupying a cell at the county jail, about 1:30 p.m., Thursday. ' When the incident occurred. Hoover had been an inmate of the jail less than 18 hours 6ince he was returned to Klamath falls from the state hospital on Wednesday. The defendant, in dieted by the grand jury late last year for the larceny of an auto' mobile, had been committed to the state hospital recently follow- ing a pre-trial sanity hearing in Klamath County Circuit Court. Last Wednesday, a- sheriff's tieputy and jailer went to the Sa- lem hospital and returned with Hoover after a representative of the institution informed District Attorney Dale Crabtrce that the patient had been given a psychi atric examination and would De released. ' The thwarted suicide attempt marked the second time that Hoo ver had sought to take his own jife since he was apprehended by Reno police and held for sheriff's deputies last Feb. 9. ' At that time Hoover, wanted in this county for jumping $3,000 bail in connection with the lar ceny charge, slashed his arm in .practically the same place as the more recent wound and was tak en to a Nevada hospital, where he was treated and released to Jlamath County deputies. ' The latest suicide effort oc- Prince Asks Safe Conduct " VIENTIANE, Laos (UPD -Neu- tralist Premier Souvanna Phouma! asked his pro-Communist half- brother Saturday for safe conduct to re-visit the critical Plain of dars for a new study of the fight ing there. Souvanna said he and the In Jernational Control Commission (ICC) cabled Prince Souphanou- vong, leader of the pro-Communist Pathet Lao which controls the plain, for his views on when and how the visit should be carried but. In a communique, the premier said it had been decided that he, members of the ICC and the So viet and British ambassadors should go to the town of Khang--Pay for another on-the-spot survey of the dispute causing the fighting between the Pathet Lao and Neu tialist forces led by Gen. Kong Le. I The effect of the cable to Sou phanouvong, Souvann's half-brother was to ask his permission for the visit. The "Red prince" is on the Plain of Jars. Informed sources said the Neutralist-held airfield and other in stallations on the plain came un der more artillery bombardment Saturday. I Military sources also reported Some skirmishing at Vang Vieng, an important town on the highway between Vientiane and Luang Pra fjang, the royal capital. ; Reports reaching Vientiane said Pathet Lao forces were shelling Jhe vital airfield of Phong Savan in an all-out bid to drive beleag uered, outnumbered Neutralist forces out of their last big strong hold on the Plain of Jars. Kong Le and his forces were driven to the edge of the airfield where they were reported holding out against overwhelming odds. The bombardment closed the air field, and the nearest Neutralist held airport was Muong Phan, about 100 miles away. Full control of the Plain of Jars by the Pathet Lao would open the v ay for pro-Communist control of all of Laos. curred as Hoover was occupying a cell with five other prisoners. One of the inmates told a mem ber of the sheriff's department that he observed Hoover reach up and remove a razor blade from a bar near the window of the cell and slash his arm. i The sheriff's spokesman said he believed that Hoover had cached the razor blade on the bar when he occupied the same cell several weeks ago. After Hoover administered the self-inflicted wound, his cell mates called a jailer, who sum moned Dr. Scth Kerron. county health officer, from a sanity hear ing being held in circuit court nearby. Dr. Kerron administered first aid to Hoover, who was removed to Klamath Valley Hospital w here he was treated for the wound. Sheriff Britton later contacted the state hospital and at 1:30 p.m., Friday, a vehicle and crew arrived from the hospital to re turn Hoover to the institution.

"Quite obviously, nobody in the United States government ever in formed anyone that ... we would launch a military invasion." he said.
