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.
You've got to hand it to what must be about 00
er cent of the folks who live on Pacific Terrace which
overlooks the city. They've done a great job of decora
ting, especially the folks who have mounted a huge
star on top of their abode. Another has "N 0 E L" out
lined in colorful lights. Don't miss seeing it if you live
w ithin 100 miles of Klamath Kails because the folks on
Pacific have done terrific!

Ex-Hostages Tell President
Of 10-Day Ordeal In Bolivia
By DONAI.I) MAY
United Press lrrternalnnal
WASHINGTON UPP-H was
a Bolivian version of the wild
west, but the cavalry didn't gal
lop up in time to rescue the
four American hostages. 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. Kristula,
10, and Lynda, 19, w ill help dec
orate .it with "dime slor
bulbs and tinsels . . like every
body's elses, just the usual as-'
sortment of colored lights, bulbs
and icicles," Davis said.
Four stockings will be hung
on the mantle of the roaring
fireplace, labelled "Lynda,"
"Lucy," "Mother," and "Fath
er." ,
Lady Bird Johnson, as usual
will wrap a red cloth around
the nose of a mounted deer
head in the hall and the musty
old trophy .will become "Ru
dolph" for the holidays.
On Christmas Kve. when
many uncles, aunts, cousins and
old friends gather, the presents
will be opened.

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."
The captors, particularly the

lady guards, were incensed that
the U.S. government would not
order the hostages to give in to
the demands for statements
urging the release of Pimental
and Escobar.
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. ,

The gay trappings of Christmas

But the usual holiday gaiety
was missing in the oceanside
mansion guarded by secret serv

like always," said Col. Malcolm
C. Paul, who loaned his home
to Mrs.. John F. Kennedy for
the holidays. "But, of course, it
