"It's been quiet." said Wil

club quarters, almost empty at
an hour when the thoughts ot
businessman and bureaucrat
alike begins to turn to dry mar
tinis. Pickford is co - owner of the
Carroll Arms Hotel which hous

over about six months apo he
also supervises the club's mod

SANTO DOMINGO lUPI)
Some leaders of ousted ex

party appeared ready today to
accept the fact of his overthrow

replaced him.
A group of PRD leaders in

adopt a patriotic, serious and
realistic policy." v
Some representatives of "pro

the meeting, but his claim to
tlie presidency was not taken
very seriously.
"His election (by a rump ses

In Africa
PRETORIA, South Africa
UP1) Court President Q. De
Wet today quashed the indict
ment against 11 men accused
as saboteurs in a case con
demned by the United Nations.
Trial of the 11 had opened
Tuesday. Four whites, six Afri
cans and one Indian were ac
cused under South Africa's sab
otage act which provides for
the death penalty in certain
cases.
They were accused of pre
paring a rebellion which was to
have included guerrilla warfare
and armed invasion to over
throw the government of Pre
mier Hendrik Veruoerd.
Earlier this month the United
Nations had urged South Africa
call off (lie trial and free the
prisoners. It was apparent
from epceches supporting the
U. N. action that most dele
gates regarded the II defen
dants as political prisoners and
not saboteurs.

Local Woman Revives Art Of Apple
By KITH KING
An art as old as the Pilgrim
Fathers, the creation of apple
head dolls, is being revived in
some parts of America by pa
tient people.
-Mothers, back in the days
that followed the stormy cross
ing of the Mayflower to New
England. discovered that
shriveled apples from the root
cellar, sometimes looked like
human beings.
There Mere plenty of corn
husks for doll bodies and
scraps of carefully horded cali
co for costumes. So on those
early Christmas morns, the
faces of John Alden, Edward
Doty, William Brewster, W i 1
liam Bradford, their fellow
women who survived, and some
times children, appeared in
home-knit stockings.
In Klamath iFalls, Mrs. Lor
na Groves, whose family ties
in Oregon date back to the fisrt
trading post in iMarysville, now
Corvallis, has perfected the
making of these fascinating
characters ... an old farmer,
several queens, Southern belles,
Mark Twain, Aunt (Polly, the
famed Winema, Shaknasty Jim

man, the men and women of
Italy, doctors, a French grand
pierre. an English king and
queen, Indian braves in beaded
costumes, aunts and uncle and
grandmothers . . . recently Buf
falo Bill.
There is a secret process
used in completion of the life
like small faces that takes day
by day attention to each head
to form the features. The fresh
apple is carved. Antique shoe
buttons, the kind used on once-upon-a-tiroe
high button shoes,
now hard to find, are used for
eyes.
Human hair, when available,
Is used, but a wool' crepe can
be substituted to give a natural,
authentic appearance to the
characters.
Body skeletons are of wire,
covered with padding and jer
sey cloth, each one individual
to suit the type of doll. Kid
leather or an artificial leather
is used for boots and shoes
and costumes. Patterned mate
rials suitable to the era are
sought and the tiny accessories,
hand carved pipes, antique
laces, from many sources, are
'improvised by laa Groves.
The beautiful miniature furni
ture and many other items used

Peron Sought For Rape

D. Peron on charges of statu

ager who Argentine authorities
say became his mistress after
his wife Eva died in 1052.
The court of criminal appeals
decided Tuesday to press the
charge, which has been on the
books since IBM.
The court overruled Judge
Alfredo Mangano, who had de
cided against extradition pro
ceedings "because Spanish law
does not recognize statutory
rape as a ground for extradi
tion." ' The decision said it is up to
tlie Spanish authorities o de

Peron warrants his extradition.
