OCCUPANTS RIDE DURING DIVE TRAGIC TASK FOR TRIESTE The Navy plans fo send its deep-diving bathyscaph, the Trieste, to locate the hulk of the sunken nuclear submarine, USS Thresher. The Trieste, designed by the late Swiss scientist Augusta Pieard and his son, Jacques, made headlines on Jan. 23, I960. That day Jacques Pieerd and Navy Lf. Don Walsh made a record dive of 35,800 feet to the floor of the Marianas Trench off Guam. The Thresher is down in werers about 8,400 feet deep. The Trieste operates like an underwater dirigible. Gasoline provides bouyancy, taking on water causes the craft to sink and dropping iron pellots causes it to rise. Delicate balancing of these three forces by the pilot, plus an electrically driven pro peller gives the bathyscaph great maneuverability. A mechanical arm has been added to the underside of the Trieste which can pick up debris, take it to the surface. Suicide Way Of Life For Japanese TOKYO (UPD Almost every Japanese schoolboy knows and loves the tale ot the n Komn It is a story of mass suicide, 47 brave Samurai warriors who slashed their stomachs in true hara kiri fashion and died with out flinching at the orders of the Tokugawa Shogun more than two and a half centuries ago. This was Japan's most famous mass suicide. It is recorded in Jiistory books and has been the basis for hundreds of stories, plays and movies. : rm Ana 99 NMS B U'lr aftpr World War II ended with Japan's detent. 10 members of the ultra nationalist Japan Productive Par ity sat in a circle on the ground in downtown Tokyo. As they "chanted their apologies to Empcr or Hirohilo for losing the war and bringing humiliation to him and the nation they pulled pins from hand grenades and blew them selves to bits. Less than a week later, three wives of these viclims went to the same spot and shot them selves to death. Mass Suicides Over There have been no more such mass suicides in Japan these days. But there has been no slackening of the rate of self-de struction. Every 30 minutes somebody dies by his own hand in Japan. For every three who succeed, two ail. Some who succeed are frustrat ed lovers. Some are disappointed students. SCHOOL CONFERENCE 3 f 5 f&ZZSt . Janet Henry , W m W A. mW L . - - A ll II Some take their lives because of financial troubles. Some want to end their existence because of crippling injuries. Some are like the tccn-ace high school girl who killed herself be cause she could not get rid of pimples that spotted her face. Some are like Mitsuru Sasaga- wa. Sasagawa was 21 when he died. He was studying hard for the tough entrance examinations that Japanese students face when seeking entry into the major col leges. He had failed twice. He was studying every spare mo ment. His father, Koei Sasagawa told his son to rest and not study so hard when the youUi complained of the constant noire of a pile driver at a construe! ion site near their home.

Falling Common Cause Of Accidenis In Home : CHICAGO llipli Falling Is the most common accident during apring cleaning, reports Plullp Pykstra, director of home salely Sot the NationaJ Salcty Council. "Zt has some suggestions to make Weaning accident-lice: t Make sure your ladder is In !ood condition. Don't try to build A substitute from furniture or iKixes. The ladder is lung enough jt you don't have to use tlie lop Tmgs or step. Move the ladder father than try to reach far to one side. Rinse floors clean of snap or detergent helore applying wax. A thin, even coat of wax bulled to high polish is harder and safer than a heavy coat. ; Paint only in eH ventilated nomi. Use paint containing less Jtisn 1 per cent lead for all In' jionr use. Keep oily or paint- fnsked rags In tightly closed metal Cans in a cool place. , Do out use carbon tetrachlor- ap- ide or flammable liquids for cleaning.

Alter sparylng. wash all exposed parts ol your body. side and raced dour, the street Before anyone knew what he was doing or could stop him, Young Sasagawa thrust his head under the pile driver, which crushed his skull like an eggshell. Some of the suicides are like 24-year-old Shigeyuki Asano, of a small town in Aichi Prefecture. Despondent because of his poor health, Asano smashed a window in a Nagoya television lower and leaped to his death. Some who try but fail are like 22-year-nld Shoji Umekawa, a frus trated movie and television actor. Umekawa took an overdose of sleeping pills. A friend found him before it was too late. Like so many of those who suc ceed, Umckawa's reason for want ing to end his own life was unre quited love. There are many popular suicide spots in Japan. PORTLAND. Ore. 'UPIi - The vanishing Indian languages of Oregon may unlock some linguis tic mysteries for anthropologists. according to Dr. Joe Pierce of Portland State College. When the while man arrived in the Oregon country about 150 years aso, Dr. Pierce said, there were possibly 52 separate lan guages being spoken here. Many have died, and a few are on the way out. Pierce, who is going to spend the summer trying to track down and record the dying tongues, says about 15 languages remain. of which little is known. They have never been written down or recorded. Oregon may have the key to "upset or confirm the linguistic theory," he said. This theory is part of a study to unravel the languages that derived from the six basic language stocks that were spoken on this continent. Of those six stocks, four of them and possibly five were spoken in Oregon. And three of tliem were spoken by tribes living side-by-side for centuries in coastal strip area of Oregon no more than 200 miles long. A Lfourth dipped into Northern Cali fornia. Two Language Stocks As far. as anthropologists have determined, this has never hap pened anywhere else in the world. In all of Europe there are only two language stocks. Another mystery is how these tribes lived so closely without one dominating the others, which would have resulted in a single tongue for all. Pierce thinks the tribes of that time, before the arrival of the white man, would not cross moun tains. So even if they were aware of another tribe's existence, there was no interchange.

The volume also deals with h i s campaigns in Burma, in France, the Dunkirk retreat, and Greece. Comparing the fighting qualities of troops, Alexander writes: "There are no better soldiers than those of the British race, provided they have a cause worth fighting for and dying for, if necessary." On the German soldier "a tough oppo nent, exhibiting a marked sense of duty and discipline. It was very remarkable that they fought their last battles just as toughly and bravely as when they were winning their lirst. "Dudley. There Is No Tomor row!" "Then How About This Afternoon?", by Shepherd Mead. iSomon and Schuster $4 95': The these languages is to find the "inlormant" or Indian who does speak a certain language and will cooperate. One of the problems is an understanding of the language. Informants have told Dr. Pierce they spoke a certain language and after lengthy study it was found they sike an entirely dif fcrcnt tongue. He says informants when they are found arc usually the rem nants of tribal leaders who iJiunncd the white man. Tolls Talp His method, once he has made contact, is to have the informant tell a folk tale or legend in his native tongue which is tape re corded. Then he goes back over to get tlie English equivalent. He hopes to use a computer to sort the words, eliminate duplica lions and similar sounds and sounds having different meanings. But computers have to be pro grammed and this means a lot of manual work. He has not used computers before but has made a study of systems (or recording languages electronically. Dr. Pierce says there is little hope that his task will be' com pleted in its entirety. There just isn't time. He says it would take between 10 and 20 years to re cord and learn the existing Indian languages in Oregon. He says there is evidence that these language stocks would be the same as some spoken in Asia, since it is "current anthropologi cal dogma" that this country was inhabited by tribes which migrated across the Bering Sea from Asia. He says even the cul tures are the same in many instances. But the political situation in Asia prohibits studies being made there. What is to be learned must be learned here, and in a short lime. , "Hit f?'W N- 5V, 4C DESIGN 41 Heu 1,220 Sq. Ft. 16.662 Cu. Fl. Gorog 2B6 Sq. Ft.

Dudley is an over-age nnn conformist, all beatnik but the beard, who re-enters the lives of his divorced wile, Gloria, and their son, Bart when her second husband suddenly turned up dead. Tom's ceath appeared to be an accident, but suicide or even mur der were possibilities. Certainly, there were people in exclusive Cobb's Point who wore glad to see him dead he was ncogtiating with developers who might build a low-cost suburb on their seclud ed doorsteps. With her husband dead, Gloria was a potential target. Dudley, a man ol high resource and low responsibility, undertook to "solve a girl's financial problems, set a community on the rich! track. and rescue the suburboisie from the chaos of their own conniptions." His quest, from bottle to bottle and bed to bed. is wild comedy melodrama worthy of the author of "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Speculations About Jakob, by L we Johnson iGrove Press 4.30 Jakob Abs, a young East German railway signalman, is killed cross ing the railroad tracks with which he was uncommonly familiar. The story that follows leaves the read er to speculate whether it was murder or suicide. But this is not an ordinary whodunit. Johnson's highly original prose, his style of weaving back and forth, using snatches ol conversation, of recol lections, of bits of actions, shift ing almost bew ildoringly from character to character builds an extraordinary novel on a simple plot. Jakob's childhood sweetheart Gesine. has moved to West Berlin and works lor NATO. Jakob and his friends are being pressured by a Soviet agent to persuade Gesine to work as a Soviet spy. The story is frequently more concerned with I h e difficult choices of people caught in the East-West split than In the plot Tlie author does not hesitate to point out he shortcomings of democratic West Germany as well as tlie tyranny of East Germany Interesting footnote: The 2year old East German-born author went to West Germany himself "reluc tantly", in 1959 in order that he might publish his first novel with out censorship.
