Marvin Thompson of Beatty
Wednesday afternoon told
circuit court jury he saw Ar
chie Foster shoot Mrs. Rich

"I could see she was shot be
cause her head dropped to the
side," Thompson said.
Thompson said the shouting
occurred in front of his house on
Piute Road in Beatty that
afternoon as Mrs. Biss tat in
the back seat of her car with
another woman, Wilma W i I
liams. The prosecution continued its
case today and Dist. Atty. Dale
Crabtrce indicated he may rest

One witness today was John
Weber, the district attorney's
investigator, who said he talked
to Foster two days after the
shooting in county jail and that
Foster denied at that time any
knowledge 0.' or connection with
the incident. He said he left
Mrs. Biss alive the afternoon

and Miss Williams drove to
Klamath Falls.
Weber said Foster told him
he learned of the woman's
death over a news broadcast
April 23. Weber said Foster
"didn't hesitate on any question
I asked him." He said Foster

African
Protesters
MOSCOW (UPI) - Soviet mil
itiamen guarding the Ghanaian
Embassy today shoved several
African students back into the
snow when they tried to force
their way into the building.
A group of 30 Ghanaian stu
dents had tried to enter the em
bassy in search of more infor
mation on the death of fellow
student Edmund Asarre - Addo,
whose body was found frozen
in tlic snow alongside a railroad
track north of Moscow last
Thursday.
His death had caused a dem
onstration in Red Square
Wednesday, in which an esti
mated 400 Ghanaian students
paraded with banners protesting
alleged Soviet mistreatment of
Africans.
The Soviets denied the charge
and high Soviet officials con
ferred in the Kremlin with
some of the demonstrators. The
Russians promised a further re
port on Asare-Addo's death,
which the Ghanaians attributed
to foul play but which the Rus
sians said was due to natural
causes.
When the student group
showed up today, they encoun
tered eight Soviet guards out
side the building w ith orders to
let no one enter.
The students argued with Ilia
militiamen and, when a num
ber of them tried to enter the
building, they were shoved back
ff the sidewalk.

For 6-year-old Olga, the long
trip to the United States was
her first taste of flying and she
was very excited.
"Are American dolls the

parents before embarking.
fozdneyev's son, 16-year-old
Anatoly, is a soccer fan, but
he is very interested in learn

looking forward to meeting chil

His father told newsmen:
"We shall be glad to get ac
quainted with the Americans
living in Portsmouth. Though
we have never been to Ameri

that country and about its in
dustrious, resourceful and ca
pable people. We know that
Americans want peace as much
as we do."
The English-speaker in the
family is Mrs. Pozdneyev, who
actually is an English teacher.
"I am a bit worried," she
confessed before leaving, "That
our American friends might not
understand my English.
"The tiling is that we English
language instructors in the So

bookish English that nobody
can understand us except our
pupils."
Before leaving, the entire
family . spent hours studying
maps, and reading up on the
United Stales.

they proceeded slowly, and then

"While expecting David to

'The next moment we saw

Records
In North
By United Press International
Bitter ccld broke records
throughout the North today and
sent temperatures shivering
down to freezing across Dixie.
Drifting snow kept roads
clogged and schools closed in
many sections of the Midwest.
Workmen labored desperately
to complete a 2.7 mile pipeline
to carry river water to Spencer,
Ohio. The town still suffers
from the long summer drought
and two reservoirs are ex
pected to go dry Monday.
At Muskegon. Mich., where
snow piled up to record depths
in record time, tlie worst ap
peared over. But nearly three
feet of snow was on the ground,
roads were closed and schools
remained shut down.
The mercury dipped below
zero for the seventh day in a
row at Chicago, setting a new
record for consecutive sub-zero
December days.
