Details Given on
North Pole Flight
Tells of Trip
John Springhill, local business
man, spoke to the Chamber mem
bers on his recent trip to Fin
land. He flew aboard an SAS
flight over the North Pole to his
homeland.
Springhill stated it had been
43 years since he left Finland.
The main purpose of the trip was
to visit his brother who had been
ill for some time. He stated he
found conditions in his homeland
“most distressing.” The commun
ist influence is felt there, he said,
mainly because of Russia’s close
proximity to Finland, and the lat
ter’s size.
He spent two weeks on the en
tire flight, al^o visiting Sweden,
Norway and Denmark for brief
stops. Considerable anxiety was
felt on the trip over, when one of
the engines gave out. The plane
was re-routed to Norway in the
interest of safety.

Death Deliberate
In Cult Bombing
VENTURA, Calif, (tf)—Farewell
letters left by one of two men be
lieved to have dynamited religi
ous cults headquarters indicate he
planned to kill himself.
Ventura county coroner Virgil
Payton said two letters were
found in a box containing tape re
cordings which the two made a
few hours before the blast which
took 10 lives. The two letters,
both written by Peter Kamenoff,
42, were addressed to Tania Leion
shik, Chicago, and to his ■ son,
Aaron, now in Alaska with Kam
enoff’s wife. They were dated
Dec. 9.
The letter to Aaron read in part:
“I love you more than my own
life. I am willing to give up my
life to free you.” The recordings,
made b^ Kamenoff and Ralph Mol
ler, 33, were most a recital of ex
periences in the cult. In them,
Kamenoff blamed the cult’s mas
ter Krisna Venta for persuading
his wife to stay in Alaska when
Kamenoff withdrew from the cult’s
mission there.
