NEW HOME Shu Chia Pin, whose new name Is Sue Lynn, was brought to Klamath Falls By Mr. and Mrs. Dale Baxter of 5650 Cottage Avenue from the Far East. She is to, be adopted and will become an American citizen. The little girl was located by Gene Baxter, left, a missionary abroad for mora than two years for the LDS Church. Daughter Ann Baxtor, second from the left, is thrilled too, about the new arrival who will never remember the land of her birth. The trip was made by air from Portland in the Baxter family plane. Life Begins At 'One' For Chinese Tot By RUTH KING This is not a story of man's distrust of man, of catastrophe, political ambitions, nor space conquering heroes nor of Hurri cane Anna. It is a story that spans the seas, crosses the land and centers in Klamath Falls, Ore., in the United States of America, far from where it was begun. H is the story of a Chinese child, Sue Lynn, who will some day become an American citizen. Sue Lynn was 1-year-old on Sept. 10, a birthdate given by her new 'American parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Baxter of 5630 Cottage Avenue, because the true date of her birth was never recorded in that country where girl babies are unwanted. Not long after her birth she was abandoned in a railway station in Taipei without identification. Because she was undernourished and ill she was sent by an orphan age for hospital care, then re turned to the orphanage where she would have remained. She lay most of the time on a woven mat. Her diet was limited and those in charge of many chil dren had little spare time lo spend with their small charges, two months ago Sue "Lynn could not sit up. Today, she not only sits but sits up and propels her self about her new home, using both feet as rudders and tries to stand alone. She 'was "found" be Gene Bax ter, son of the Dale Baxters who was just completing a two and one-half-year mission in the Far East for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had been charged by his parents to find a waif to be adopted into the Baxter family. There were plenty of orphans to choose from," Cene said, "15 in the home where Sue Lynn was cared for." He made frequent vis its, played with them all and chose the little girl who will be come his adopted sister. Last July he took her to the home of friends and early in Septem ber Mr. and Mrs. Baxter ar rived by to claim her. The Baxters flew to the Orient, leaving Klamath Falls Sept. 4. They stopped at Anchorage, went to Jokyo, Okinawa, Taiwan, and the Philippines, skirting a typhoon, and on to Hong Kong after being joined in Taipei by Gene and the infant. An orphan eligible for adoption, must have no known parents or have one parent unable to support (lie child. Under present day re quirements each child taken from the country must be X-rayed by physician and must have a cer tificate of health before leaving. More stringent restrictions have; followed cases where ill children have been brought to this coun try and have not survived the long trip. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter filed a petition of adoption by proxy through Gene abroad where offi cials asserted it would take "a year, six months for the papers if! It was hurried. They were com pleted in two months. Sue Lynn came into the United States on an eligible orphan's non-quota visa. Adoption proceedings will be start ed here immediately. Because the child was Chinese. officials in the Philippines refused her a visa. The Baxters by passed the uncooperative Fili pinos, received the legal papers on Saturday in Hong Kong and left for home the following Mon day, Sept. 2.1. The terrible poverty and need in (he part of the world where Gene Baxter spent two years as an LDS missionary left a deep im pression on the Klamath Falls1 people. Jiven the mcagerest income keeps much of the population from death. Gene saw laboring men eating green grass men hooked to carts hauling 24 sacks of rice or cement, "proba bly a ton." traveling in groups of four to help each other propel their loads after they left level ground. Riding a ta.xicab in Tokyo, the Raxtcrs report, is a terrifying experience. Can drivers charge 15 cents in American money for a ride of a mile and a half. In a 20- mile trip the Klamath Falls peo ple met another car, possibly ev ery half mile but the road teemed with foot travelers and bicyclists The cab wove in and out of traffic, horn blowing, h r a k a s braking, missing pedestrians by hair.

VATICAN CITY (b"PI - A three-hour ceremony and an eag erly-awaited speech by Pope Paul VI Sunday open what promises to be a fast-moving, decision-mak ing second session of the Ecu menical Council. This two-month session of the council, which probably will not be its last, was highlighted by a new pontiff and a new men tality among the 2,500 members of Roman Catholic Church hicr archy who sit in Latin debate in St. Peter's Basilica. The cardinals, archbishops, bishops and abbots have poured into Home lor the last week. With few exceptions, they have been enthusiastic as prospects of great and historic renewal of the church. The late Pope John XXIII, who capped his pontificate by calling the gathering into being, laid down tlie road to follow. Pope Paul, an austere intellec tual with forward looking ideas and the ability and knowledge to carry them out, has pledged to follow that road. What lies before the council is greater than what it has accom plished. But possibly more im portant is the change in mentality that marks the second mission. Before the first session that lasted from Oct. 11 until Dec. 8 last year, many council fathers felt the historic gathering, the first such meeting in nearly 100 years and only the 21st in church history, might become simply a rubber-stamp body lor the wishes of the pontiff. ' Others felt that the conserva tive element of the church led by the Roman Curia would control the council. This would have meant a minimum of change and the late Pope's hopes of bringing toe cnurch into line with modern times would die in a welter of words echoing in the vastness of St. Peter's Basilica. During the first session the more liberal church fathers battled this "remain-as-we-are' attitude, first in some trepidation and then with hope as it became apparent that they were in the majority and that Pope John himself was wholeheartedly be hind them. There were 70 drafts on differ ent subjects ranging from the tonsure of priests to Christian unity that had been prepared during the three years work lead ing to the opening of the coun cil. Only five of these came up for discussion during the first session and work on only one was anywhere near completion by the time the council closed. Since then, on the orders of Pope John, the original 70 drafts have been cut and combined to form 17 "schemata," as they are called. During the nine months be tween sessions Pope John died, a loss fell by the world, and Gi ovanni Battista Cardinal iMontini. archbishop of Milan, was chosen to succeed him as -Pope Paul VI. One of Jtonlini's first actions was to pledge continuation of the council and the ideas of Pope John. Under canon law the fate of a council in case a pontiff dies during the proceedings is entirely in the hands of his suc cessor on the throne of Peter. In the final few weeks before the council opens Pope Paul has made clear his position. First he announced that non- Christian observers were to be invited to attend the second ses sion. Pope John already had asked non-Catholic Christian ob servers to the first session and many of them came. His second action is rated by many church liberals as a move as important as the council itself. Pope Paul, in an audience with the Roman Curia on Sept. 21 told them that he was going to modernize and internationalize that mostly-Italian administrative body. In addition, he said, he planned to share his powers with tlie archbishops and bishops around the world, thus decentral izing tlie church a good deal. The pontiff's action put heart into church liberals. It clearly showed that Pope Paul was go ing lo do everything possible to move the Catholic Church forward and into the 20th century. Thus, the council reconvenes with a new mentality, a feeling that it is on the brink of what may be one of its most import ant renewals in centuries. Most observers expected Pppe Paul to keynote this feeling in his opening speech to tlie council Sunday. With this impetus, there also is the belief that the council now will move ahead swiftly with the work that lies before it. However it is unlikely that all will be finished in the second session. It is expected that a third session will be called, possibly next spring. The council fathers begin their Latin language debates in the special hall built in St. Peter's Basilica Monday. The opening draft is "De Ecclesia," lAbout the Church). They will meet in secret session five days a week, with Saturday and Sunday off, until Dec. 4. iM '' . ..!!!

Sunday, September 29, 1963 PAGE 3A Valachi Expected To Testify On Experience As Assassin WASHINGTON (UPI) - Joseph Valachi, convict mobster, said he helped commit murders for the Cosa Nostra crime cartel. Sen ate investigators said Saturday. Valachi, who turned vengeful informer on the syndicate when he was marked for death by "boss" Vito Genovese, is expect ed to testify on his firsthand ex perience in gangland assassina tion Tuesday when he resumes testimony before the Senate inves ligations subcommittee. The 61-ycar-old veteran of the Cosa Nostra already is under a life sentence for the killing of a fellow prison inmate whom he mistook as a Cosa Nostra executioner. During his first open testimony Friday, Valachi matter of factly acknowledged that as a soldier in tlie crime combine, he had car-' ried out murder assignments. Asked what he had done for the Genovese Rules Gangland From Inside Prison Cell MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN Origin of the historic Stone- henge monument in England re mains a mystery. This circle of neolithic stones is thought to have been erected more than 4.000 years ago by a migratory Bronze Age tribe. Personality Spotlight VITO GENOVESE Ruling Statesman of The Underworld By United Press International They called him "the squire of the highlands" and smiled at the way he pampered his grandchil dren. But his neighbors knew lit tle else about the occupant of the palatial home in the New Jersey shore community of Atlantic Highlands. From this plush home, its walls adorned with a $200,000 art collec tion, Vito Genovese controlled the vast nationwide crime syndicate known as Cosa Nostra, translated 5 "our thing" or "our family.' And although he's serving a 15- year term in Leavenworth, Kan. federal prison on a narcotics con viction, Genovese still rules the crime cartel, according to turn coat hoodlum Joseph Valachi, one time member of Cosa Nostra. Genovese, wiry and short of stature, took over as kingpin in 1957, according to Valachi, when he engineered the gangland assas sination of Frank Scahsc, a pal of Frank Costcllo and Lucky Luciano. Costcllo got the message and was removed irom ucnovese s path to power. Later that same year, a couple of hoodlums strolled into Manhat tan barber shop and shot under world chieftain Albert Anastasia Steaming towel. That made tlie takeover com plete, and Genovese returned to stylish living in the mansion where he was visited regularly by his six grandchildren, who lived with his daughter next door, Associates said Genovese had a tender heart that the Insides of his glasses misted whenever he heard of some tragedy. His glasses "misted" they said when an innocent blonde was lulled by the gunman that killed "Little Augie" Scalise in 1959. Scalise al legedly was killed because he re fused to take orders from the new boss. Genovese became an American citizen in 1913 and ran errands for gangland chiefs as a teen-ager. He rose through the ranks until 1934 when he was forced to flee the country to escape prose cution for the murder of one Ferdinand Boccia. He returned to Italy. Army intelligence witnesses told a Senate crime committee in 1958 that he became friendly with the fascists and "lived it up" with Mussolini while U. S. soldiers were dying in fox holes at Anzlo. With the American occupation, he got a job with the army as an interpreter and on the side stole truckloads of American supplies for resale on the black market. He was caught and jailed, then re organization, the husky-voiced wit ness replied: "I'd go out and kill for 'em." With the crime hearings in a weekend recess Valachi returned to the cloistered seclusion of the District of Columbia jail where he is being held by federal prison authorities. ; - In his testimony, he made :it clear that hi motive in telling nis story to the subcommittee and the nation, was "vengeance" against leaders of Cosa Nostra who are said to have put a $100, 000 price on his head. Valachi s testimony prompted subcommittee member Karl E. Mundt, R-S.D., to suggest that prison authorities crack down on Genovese. The Cosa Nostra over lord, Valachi said, not only gave him a "kiss of death" but also ordered the murder of mobster . Tony (Anthony Strollo) Bender from an Atlanta prison cell. Genovese has since been trans ferred to the federal prison at Leavenworth. Warden J. C. Tay lor at Leavenworth reported that Genovese is hospitalized with a heart condition and high blood pressure. "Indications are that he will never be any better," Tay lor added. to death as he sat in a chair with turned to the United States to face his face wrapped with a hot, charges in the Boccia murder.
