Aftermath of the Vietnamese
blood bath:
Mrae. 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

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.

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.

Diem's Brother
Over To Ileiv
SAIGON, South Viet Nam
(UPI) Slain President Ngo
Dinh Diem's younger brother
today took refuge in the U.S.
consulate in Hue but was
turned over to the provisional
government, diplomatic sources
said.
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. '

'Cannot Be Permitted'
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Slate Department today reject
ed as "completely unaccepta

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

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

Rusk accused tlie Soviets of
