Kgo Oinh Nhu, the Dragon Lady, and her es tranged father met yesterday in Los Angeles where ANY THING can happen. They had a 40-minute visit. As he depart ed, Dr. Tran Van Chuong. the 65-ycar-old father, told the wait ing reporters: "There was no need of recon ciliation. As soon as I learned of the tragic events of the past few days, my heart was very near to my daughter." Blood is thicker than water. Misfortune is a great leveler. What of this weird woman who has flashed across the news skies like a blood-red me teor? What will become of her? How will she wind up? One never can tell. History tells us that women can be strange characters. There was Eleanor of Aqui taine. ' ' " She was. the vivid . youtliful queen of saintly Louis VII of France, wedded to him at the age of 15. The marriage seemed to be going well until glamor ous, youthlul, brilliant Henry II of England arrived in Paris to negotiate a treaty with Lou is. Eleanor fell for him. She fell hard. She demanded and ob tained a divorce from Louis, and promptly married Henry, bringing to him as a dowry half of Southern France. How did it turn out? Not too well. Henry was a great king. But he was also a philanderer. He fell in love with a maid known to history as Rosamond the Fair. Tradition has it that lie made for ner a "house of wonderful working." so that no man or woman might come to her. This house was named Labyrinthus, "like unto a knot in a garden called a maze." It was so intricate that Henry himself could come to it only by a thread of silk which he followed. But Eleanor was no ordinary woman. She found the "thredde of Sylke" and followed it to the bower where, as S i r Winston Churchill tells it in his Birth of Britain, she pre sented the Fair Rosamond with a choice between the dagger and the poisoned cup. Rosamond chose tiic poisoned cup and that was the end of her. Evtf days came finally upon Eleanor. Slie had a brood of wild chil dren, including the fantastic Richard the Lion Hearted and the scandalous and tricky John, who was forced by the barons lo sign the Jlagna Charta at Runnymedc. Through it all. Eleanor stood like a rock for the good of Eng land. No task was too hard for her. She would rise In the mid dle of the night and ride alone through any pattern of danger to uphold the good of England. You never can tell about women, you sec. Even the Dragon Lady might reform. She has children, you know, as did Eleanor. In conclusion, one more word about Mme. Nhu's father. - In an interview in Fresno yesterday, he Mid tlie Diem government collapsed because it was blind to realities. He went on to say: "wla you arc isolated from the rest of the world, you are surrounded by adknirers and flatterers who tell you only what they want (CMiimet a Fife 4) City Boards Issue Final Statement The Klamath Falls elemen tary and Klamath Union school boards Monday night adopted their last statement on the school reorganization question and threw the whole issue into the lap of the county court. The statement adopted Mon day night calls for removal of all tuition students from Klam ath Union High School by Sep tember, 1907, "regardless of the consequences in the county schools." A schedule worked out by Dr. Cliff Robinson, county superin tendent of schools, calls for the Klamath Union enrollment to not exceed 1,816 in September, 1965; not over 1,697 in Septem ber, 1966, and by September, 1967, all tuition students from the proposed new county school district would be removed. This schedule was approved by the two school boards Monday night. It was noted that 1,800 is the maximum . enrollment possible at KU without resorting to a split shift, which is being used tins year. Under the proposed reorgan ization plan, 235 elementary stu dents coming into the metropol itan district from county schools would have to remain at county schools for three years on a tuition basis until new fa cilities in the city are construct ed, and the city boards said this three-year deadline would also be met by the city "with the same consequences." The statement adopted Mon day night goes with another statement adopted last week to the county court, which will make the final decision on the reorganization plan to be sub mitted lo the state Board of Education and then to the vot ers for their approval. The statement covers informa tion requested by the county court on points concerning re organization and similar infor mation was requested of the county school board. Governor Will Speak SALEM UPH -Gov. Mark Hatfield will appear before the joint session of the legislature Monday afternoon to rec ommend solutions to the state's fiscal crisis. The governor will address the joint session in the House cham bers shortly after the special session is convened at noon. He will recommend that law makers open basic school sup port to allotment control, and ask for re-enactment of the one shot speedup of withholding tax collections. Travis Cross, Hatfield's press secretary, said the governor's address would be about 15 min utes in length.

NXi . noil,, -Mm-t, mittA rtJ One tf the points upon which information was requested by the county court was division of school assets and city and county school officials have found themselves in disagree ment on this point. Therefore, the two city boards and the county board are submitting separate infor mation on tills point. This information from the city schools is included in the statement adopted Monday night. It lists assets of Klam ath Union and city elementary schools. The county court will study both sets of information before making its final reorganization proposal. A public hearing on the plan will then be held and the original plan or an altered one will then be sent to the state Board of Education for its approval. If this approval is granted, the proposal will go to the voters. ' In the election, the plan must be approved in each of the pro posed new school districts to go into effect. If it fails in either district, it will not be adopted. If the state Board of Educa tion finds fault with the plan, it will come back to Klamath Falls for further revision before the final state approval and the election. ilOOZ United Fund Campaign November 5, 196.1 Goal $148,311.00 Collected to date .... 77,512.84 Percentage of goal . . 52.3 jM I; Ail MODEL DEPICTS NEW HOSPITAL Tha first icalt model of tha Klamath Basin's new 1 4 1-bad Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, now under construction nar tha OTI site, was completed yasttrday by Nad Livingston I right I , draftsman for Morrison, Howard and Starbuck, and want on public display at tha U.S. National Bank, 740 Main Street, for tha first time earlv today.

The sources said the brother, Ngo Dinh Can, was flown to Saigon in a U.S. government plane'. Can was Diem's overlord in the Hue area, scene of some of the strongest repressions of the Buddhists. He was hated and feared by the Buddhist majority in the central Vietnamese city and officials were concerned that his home there would be mobbed. He had been under house arrest since the coup Fri day. The sources said Can took refuge this morning in the U.S. consulate building, a house that combines consular offices and residences. How Can managed lo elude the guards outside his house and reach the consulate was not known. It also was not known wheth er he asked U.S. consul John Hclble for political asylum, al though it was believed likely he did so. The decision to band Can over to Vietnamese authorities was made after discussions with the new government and with the U.S. Embassy In Salgoil, t h e sources said.

U.S. Group Still Held By Russians BERLIN (IPD-The Rus sians blocked a U.S. Army convoy with armored cars and more than 100 gun-toting soldiers in a dispute over Ber lin access rights for the sec ond day today but permitted French and British convoys (o pass a Soviet checkpoint. BERLIN (UPI) The British and French sent convoys out to join a Russian-blockaded U.S. Army convoy on the autobahn loading to Berlin today in an allied challenge to tlie Soviet Union. Tlie Russians cleared tlie French convoy to tlie West aft er a temporary delay at the So viet checkpoint at Babelsberg just outside Berlin. The Americans have been held up since 9 a.m. Monday at the Russians' Maricnborn checkpoint just across from West Germany in a dispute over olearance procedures. The Russians brought up ma chine gun-armed armored cars to hem in tlie Americans this morning in an incident which Ihe Stale Department has termed "quite serious." West ern officials said the United States has protested lo Mos cow over tlie latest blockade. In Washington, Secretary of State iDean Rusk said the block ade "cannot be permitted." He accused tho Soviet Union of "attempting i to- -unilaterally change procedures long in use on the autobahn. In a demonslration of west ern unity, the French and Brit ish planned to travel 110 miles through East Germany to stand by the American convoy of 44 men in 12 vehicles headed for Berlin along the autobahn from tlie West. Both the British and French convoys had orders not to dis mount for a Russian hea'd count at tlie Soviet checkpoint outside West Berlin. The American convoy was held up Monday because the soldiers refused to leave their vehicles to be counted. Tlie French convoy of 44 men in eight trucks and two jeeps left West Berlin for Ihe Russian checkpoint at Babelsberg, just outside the city. As tlie French convoy moved out of the Western Allied check point on the Berlin border, a British convoy of 43 soldiers in seven trucks and one jeep moved up to the Western Allied checkpoint. The sizo of all three convoys was about the some in men and vehicles, indicating that the three Western powers were putting the Soviets on tlie spot in aiming at a showdown over clearance procedures.

UPI Telephoto U.S. Vows Blockade 'Cannot Be Permitted' WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Slate Department today reject ed as "completely unaccepta ble" Russia's claim that the So viet Union has the right to lay down rules governing military travel to West Berlin. , The statement was issued shortly after Secretary of State Dean Rusk told the Senate For eign Relations Committee that Russia's lates. blockade of the U. S. convoy on the autobahn leading to Berlin "cannot be permitted." Department spokesmen said tlve new blockade was "clearly the result of a Soviet initiative." They made no mention of the possibility of a misunderstand ing as was done during an earlier blockade Oct. 10-11. The ambassadors and senior diplomats of tlie embassies of Britain, France, and West Ger many were lo meet this after noon in the State Department to plan the next Allied moves. They probably will include for mal protests to Moscow. Rusk made his statement to reporters following an hour-long closed-door meeting with the Senate Foreign Relations. Com mittee. He briefed the senators on both the Berlin situation and conditions in South Vict Nam. Rusk accused tlie Soviets of "attempting to unilaterally change procedures long in use on the autobahn. Of course, that cannot be permitted. It is Obstruction Snags Mine Rescue Effort PEINE. Germany (UPI)-Ef- forts to drive steel reinforcing pipe into a rescue shaft toward 11 men trapped in a flooded h-on mine were snagged again by an obstruction today. But a drill engineer said. We'll reach them U we have to eat our way through." The new delay came about an hour after tlie biggest mobile drill in Western Europe was thought to have completed reaming out rubble blocking the reinforcing operation for more than il5 hours. But rescue officials an nounced steel pipe being low ered into tho 135-foot bore hole was blocked again by an ob- looked upon as a very serious matter." The White House said just be fore Rusk emerged from the '. committee meeting that Presi dent Kennedy also was deeply concerned and that officials were trying to resolve the im passe both here and in Moscow. Press Secretary Pierre Salin ger also said the Chief Execu tive had discussed the matter with Rusk but that there were no present plans for a meeting between the two. He did not rule out the possibility of a later meeting, however. The developments came as the British and French sent convoys of their own out to join tlie Russian-blocked U. S. con voy on the autobahn leading to Berlin. The idea was to stress Allied unity in the new show down with the Soviets. It appeared likely that one of the next steps would be a U.S., British, French protest or par allel protests by those countries to Moscow. Reports reaching here indi cated that Soviet military offi cials at the highway checkpoint were seeking some form ot compromise. At ne point, thoy j indicated the V. S. convoy could proceed if the Russians were permitted to lower the tailgates of the trucks and count the troops sitting inside. The U. S. commander on the scene was reported to have replied his or ders did not permit this. struction between 45 and 60 feet down. Engineers were attempting to ease the pipes past the obstruc tion by hand, working the pipes from side to side. - Rescue officials were visibly disturbed over the new obstruc tion, about six feet beneath the section of bore hole that snagged the pipes Monday night. When the bore hole was re inforced by steel and cement the drill was to begin Its final 52 foot plunge to the entombed 31 men. Breakthrough was not expect ed until sometime Wednesday at the earliest and rescue offi cials said it might be Thursday before the men were brought to the surface. Lower Food. Drtiik Imprisoned in a watery cham ber measuring 94y-12 feet, the men have been kept alive by food and drink lowered through a narrow communications shaft since their discovery Sunday night. They shared tlie watery chamber with the corpses of 10 comrades killed by rockslkles. Tlie 11 men were tha last known survivors of tha 129 working in the mine when a sedimentation basin on the sur face collapsed Oct 24, dump ing 19 million gallons of sludge filled water into the mine. A total of 88 men escaped or were subsequently rescued. Hope of finding alive any of tlie 10 men stiU missing in the IMathildc mine faded after drill ers broke through io an air pocket 262 feet beneath the Len gedc village cemetery, lowered a microphone and heard noth ing. Heard Tapping Noises Tapping noises had been de tected earlier, raising hopes ot finding five men alive lr the pocket. Some of the U men atill underground had seen five fel low workers heading for the pocket in neck-deep water short ly after tlie flooding started. 1
