PAGE (A HKRALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. Sunday, December !?, 1963 East Side ... West Side All Around the Town By JOE CARAHER . You learn something every day. A poster in a downtown winclow referring to forthcoming dance at Klamath Auditorium, says "La dies, Pleat Wear Skirts." Interviewed at the American Medical Association meeting at Portland a couple weeks ago, Dr. E. Cuyler Hammond thoughtfully stated, "Cigarette smokers not only have many more deaths from all causes than non smokers, hut have much more illness and hospitaliza tion," as he paused from time to time to light up his pipe. Joe Sawyer and Toby Bedal teamed up on a nice holiday gesture. Sawyer, manager of the Municipal Airport, distributed poinsettia corsages to all lady pas sengers hoarding West Coast airplanes Wednesday afternoon. The flowers came from Bedal's shop on Main Street. t When the planes aren't on schedule we should check with Seattle to get a little more information on a story in the Seattle Times, which carried this head line: "Sister Flies Here With Tablecloth." Now this is the best thing we've seen since reading about the magic carpet in that wonderful kids' book, "The Lit tle Lame Prince." Duck enthusiast Jim Crismon tias heen distribut ing Oregon basketball schedules around town. On one side of the card Is the slate of Webfoot games. On the other, a full color photo of the "quintet," four players and the coach. What everyone wants to know: Who is the fifth wheel? Shown are Gleason, Johnson, Coach Belko, Jones and Barnelt. By the way, what ever hap pened to Laddie Gale and Slim Wintermute? Quick-on-the-trigfier Barney Cavanaugh pulled on the red suit and filled in for Santa at the Lions Parly for a group of needy kids the other evening. Who else in the club is more fitted to be a portly, jovial quick witted St. Nick? After perusing a story in our paper Wednesday titled, "Chimpanzee Kidneys Transferred to Man," some wag is bound to suggest, "Why don't they trans fer their(brains, too?" Not a bad idea when you give it a little thought. You can't say John Weber, an investigator for the Klamath County District Attorney's office, isn't a big hearted guy. After a long conversation with a defen dant after his arrest, the jailed man said he'd like a cigarette. John, the story goes, offered him a dollar. The man resented it; turned him down. Said John later: "I was very happy about this. It turned out I had only a dollar in my pocket." Sports item: O. E. "Babe" Hollingbery, great Washington Slate football coach for 18 seasons f 1926-1 044) slopped at our place en route to the Shrine Kast-West game in S.F. and told us he was plugging former SMU mentor, Bill Meeks, to replace Jim Sutherland, whose tour at WSU ended last week. Hollingbery for years was West coach of the Shrine contest in S.F. Now, like Andy Kerr, who tutored the East many seasons, he's an honorary coach. Coincidentally Sutherland will boss the West In this year's contest which is Saturday, Dec. 28. This is just a little background for Les Snively who won the Herald and News game guessijig contest and thereby got himself a nice trip all expenses paid to Kezar next weekend.

They had to do it themselves in a jeep. Three of the (our cheerfully told President Johnson and newsmen Friday of their 10-day adventure while being held hos tage by Communist-led tin min ers in the mountains of Bolivia. Most of their guards were women whom they dubbed "Lady MacBelhs." Instead of pistols, the ladies packed dyna mite cans and wore black der bies. But like women every where, they cried In disappoint ment when the men refused to do what they wanted ' plead for the release of two Commu nist miners union leaders seized by the Bolivian government. The three, who were on their ' way home today, are Bernard Hifkin, of Monlclair, N. J., a foreign aid labor adviser; Thomas M. Martin, of New York, and Michael A.

Remains) In Bolivia A fourth, Robert Ferger filrom, a Peace Corps volunteer from Honolulu, decided to re main in Bolivia with olher Peace Corps members rather than return for Christmas. The men were captured by the miners in an effort to make the Bolivian authorities release la bor leaders, Ireneo Pimental and Fcderico Escobar, who had been arrested earlier, on crimi nal charges. ' The adventure began, Martin said, on Dec. fi, after the four had gone to the area of the Ca tavi and Siglo-Vcinte mines, 150 miles south of La Paz; on a project to build schools for the impotcrished mining commu nity. The Americans bad finished a dinner with live Dutch rnanager of one of the mines, Martin re called, when trucks pulled up outside. About "150 men barged lulu tile house" with rifles and pistols" to arrest the Dutch man, he said. Companions Seized Martin said one of the armed men recognized him as a U.S. official and began "shouting" to this effect, and in a moment Martin and his companions also were seized. Seventeen other hostages Bo livians and other nationals were also taken prisoner. Martin said the Americans were take to the library of the union hall at the Siglo-Vcinte mine. The library had a "fair collection of books," Martin said, but there were many large photographs "of life in Russia and Czechoslovakia." A short time laler, Martin said, a Bolivian senator named Arturo Crespo, who is also the boss of the nearhy Catavi mine, arrived "in a rather intoxicated state." Dramaiicly, Crespo an nounced that if the miners wore going to kill the Americans they would have to kill him too. "Hifkin replied, 'who's talking about killing people,' " Martin said. Hp said Sen. Crespo conti nued alleged efforts in behalf of the Americans hut it appeared what he really wanted "was for us to le his captives down at Catavi." (loanled By Women During their 10 days in cap tivity, the hostages said, they were guarded by a group of women led by the wives of Pi mental and Escobar. The hostages said they were threatened only indirectly. Statements were made that the Bolivian army was approaching and that if there were a fight, everyone "might ho killed."

At one point, Martin said, "the Lady MacBcths cried on my shoulder, asking how the U.S. government could be so cruel." Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts by the U.S. government, other countries, the Red Cross, the Roman Catholic Church, and labor groups were going on to effect a release. Martin said the captives lis tened to two miners' assemblies discuss terms for letting them go. But the talks seemed incon clusive, and at one point, on Monday, Dec. 16, after 10 days of confinement, Hifkin simply announced, "That's enough of this, let's get out of here." All put on their coats and marched out behind Rifkin. No one stopped tlicm. The guards had told them they were "protecting" them from the people outside. "But when we went through the door, the people cheered us," Martin said. The guards apparently felt it was too late to intervene. Then came what Martin called "sort of like a wild west" ride in a caravan of jeeps and other vehicles toward the near by town of Oruro. Rifkin told newsmen that the people in this area of Bolivia live very poorly. The miners' take-home pay is less than five dollars a month. Some 70 per cent suffer from silicosis or tu berbulosis. Even under gov ernment operation the mines are a losing business.

U.S. Officials Feel 'Hole InWalF Will Have Long-Range Significance officials believe the Christmas hole the Communists knocked in the Berlin wall may turn out to have long-range political sig nificance. The grim grey barrier, breached for the first time since August 11 to permit Berliners to visit their kin in the Red-held Eastern sector, can never have the same psy chological significance of per manence again, they said. The fact that the Soviet-controlled East German officials attempted in vain to extract po litical concessions before open ing the wall is proof, in the view of officials here, that there was real significance in the decision to take this action. It goes without saying, they added, that the Russians ap proved the East German action if they did not, in (act, order it. ntatler in the broad scope of the cold war, the temporary op ening in the wall was consid ered to be particularly reveal ing w hen considered along with Russian actions to ease the ri gidity of their grip in other areas of the East European sat ellites. , Secretary of State Dean Rusk Friday referred briefly to the Usual Christmas Gaiety Is Missing At Kennedys PALM BEACH, Fla. (UPI The gay trappings of Christmas brightened the borrowed home of the late President Kennedy's family today and there were even decorated trees in the children's bedrooms. But the usual holiday gaiety was missing in the oceanside mansion guarded by secret serv icemen. "They are decorating just like always," said Col. Malcolm C. Paul, who loaned his home to Mrs.. John F. Kennedy for the holidays. "But, of course, it w on't be the same as last year."
