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.

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.

Dr. A. Whitney Griswold, whose
appointment in 1950 at the age of
43 as president of Yale University

Members of the family were

The lean, friendly Griswold was
unknown outside of academic cir

Griswold worked as a reporter

and he denied he ever promised
such action to Cuban exiles.
He sharply contradicted exile
leader Jose Miro Cardona. who
charged that the administration re
neged on a promise to invade the
island.
"Quite obviously, nobody in the
United States government ever in
formed anyone that ... we would
launch a military invasion." he
said.
"The foreign policy of the Unit

United Stales, he said, and the
United Nations must use "re

'Time will see Cuba free again."
Kennedy predicted, and "the rec
