A DECENT BURIAL . . .
WICK, Scotland UPi — James
Cormack watched with a contended
smile as his custom-built Cadillac
plunged over a precipice and sank
50 fathoms in the North Sea.
“I guess I’m just a romantic,”
he said. “It was a good old friend
and now it’s had a decent burial.”
The 77-year-old Cormack said
he had the car made in Detroit 22
years ago. “I drove everywhere in
that old car, far more than 200,00C
miles”
Last winter vandals broke intc
his garage and set it on fire.
“I loved it too much to sell foi
junk, to let it fall into the hand;
of someone who might mistreat it
So, I decided to bury it,” he added

RIGHT OPERATIONS
. . . WRONG PATIENTS j
PONTIAC, Mich. UP> — Thirteen- j
month-old Mark Trautman went
to a hospital for a hernia opera- j
tion but got a tonsillectomy in- i
stead.
Tracy Fernald, 17 months old,
went in for a tonsillectomy, but
got a hernia operation.
Both youngsters were recover
ing nicely at their homes Saturday,
but face the prospects of another
11 hospital tup to get their proper
' operations.
The baby boys were roomates
at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital here
> Thursday when they were wheeled
into surgery within minutes of
each other.
11 When Mark came back, "we
looked for his incision,’' said his
mother, Mrs. Mark Trautman,
“but there was none.” She asked
a doctor why.
“He took off like a flash for the
operating room,” she said.
Too late. Tracy had been found
to have no hernia and the four
inch incision sutured up before
the warning arrived.
“That’s not my son,” said Wal
ter Fernald when he saw Mark j
wheeled into his room with Tracy’s
chart on the stretcher.
A nurse dashed off for surgery
with similar unprofitable results.
The mrxup apparently came with
a switch of the boy’s charts some
where between their room and
the operating table. Hospital offi
cials and the two doctors involved
had no comment.
Fernald said the hospital and his
doctor offered to waive past
charges and perform the next
operation free. Trautman is await
ing a similar offer.

SALVAGE CHURCH FROM
BOTTOM OF THE SEA
SIRACUSA, Sicily W — After
14 centuries at the bottom of the
sea, a church once shipped in
pieces from ancient Greece has
been found and will be built in
modern Sicily.
The undersea research ship Sea
diver, brought here by an Ameri
can marine engineer, Edwin Link,
located the marble pieces of the
church in the cargo of a Greek ship
which sank off Cape Passero, out
side Siracusa harbor, in the 6th
Century A.D.
Almost the entire cargo was
salvaged.
Marquis Piemieola G a r g a 11 o,
president of the Sicilian Institute
for Underwater Research, said the
discovery lent weight to a theory
that ancient churches and temples
in Sicily had been assembled from
prepared marble shipped from
Greece.
BUREAU OF MINES REPORT
PLACED ON OPEN FILE
The Bureau of Mines has re
leased to open file a report that is
available for interested persons to

ONLY JAPANESE PILOT
TO BOMB THE U.S. IS
FETED IN OREGON
BROOKINGS, Ore. — Nobuo
Fujita, the only flier ever to bomb
the continental United States as
an enemy, got his first look Sat
urday at an American small town
parade.
The former Japanese pilot was
smiling and almost wide-eyed as
bands, drum majorettes, floats and
horsemen marched down the main j
street of this Oregon coastal city
of 2.600 population.
A bright sun was shining as the
Annual Brookings Azalea Festival
“The weather was just fine the
last time I was here, smiled Fujita,
“but this time my mind is at‘
peace.”
Twenty years ago, Fujita flew
over the forests near Brookings in
a submarine-based float plane and
dropped incendiary bombs hoping
to start destructive forest fires.
This failed, but the actual bomb
ing attack on the continental
United States did give the people
something of a start.
Fujita, now is a 51-year-old
Tokyo businessman.
He came to Brookings with his
wife and their 25-year-old son,
Yasuyoshi, at the invitation of the
Brookings Junior Chamber of
Commerce. Their presence at the
Azalea Festival is one of the high
lights of their visit.
Another will be a dinner, at
which Fujita will present his
samurai sword to the people of
Brookings.
The Jaycees arranged the visit
as a gesture of international good
will.
MASSES CELEBRATED
IN NIGHT CLUB
BUFFALO, N.Y. if) — Because
of a $2-million fire and the cour
tesy of a Jew, masses in down
town St. Michael's Roman Catholic
parish are being celebrated in a
night .
The club, where some of the na
tion’s top stars have performed, is
a few yards from the fire-black
ened ruins of St. Michael’s Church.
A bolt of lightning struck the
94-year-old church last Wednes
day night, touching off a fire
that left anly the walls standing.
Han# Altman, owner of the
Town Casino night club, offered the
church pastor, the Rev. James J.
Redmond, the use of the club for
as long as he liked.
“The church ;is more important
to the community than my night
club,” said Altman, who is Jewish.
With Diocesan approval, Father
Redmond accepted,

SIX - FOOT GAP BLASTED
THROUGH RED WALL
BERLIN — Somebody blasted
a big hole through the Red Wall in
Berlin Saturday. The Communist
regime rushed workers to the
scene to seal the six-foot gap and
before noon it was solid again.
There were four mysterious ex
plosions around the area of Ber
nauerstrasse, scene of many dra
matic escapes.
West Berlin papers speculated
they were the work of an East
Berlin resistance group.
Bernauerstrasse is one of the
most heavly fortified stretches of
the 25-mile wall. Behind the wall
are coils of barbed wire, a double
row of steel anti-tank barriers and
finally huge screens to. block the
view into East Berlin.
The atmosphere was very tense
along the wall as the Communist
regime gave a military funeral to
Peter Goering, 21-year-old East
German policeman who was shot
dead in a gun battle with West
German police Wednesday.
The Communist regime has pro
claimed Goering a martyr. A fierce
campaign in the controlled East
German press calls for punishment
of his “treacherous murderers."
Western guards said the East
German guards were showing “a
very hostile attitude,” apparently
looking for an opportunity to
avenge their dead comrade.
ORBIT FILM IS DAMAGED
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (A — The
motion picture film record:, of
America’s second manned orbit in
space was heavily damaged by
sea water and may be of little use
to space scientists, it was learned
in Rochester Saturday.
Sometime during the period
when astronaut Scott Carpenter’s
space capsule bobbed in the water
awaiting pickup, enough water
sloshed into the capsule to reach
the pilot-observer camera, spokes
men said.
- The film was rushed here and
a crew of 25 to 30 worked to de
velop it. The film was of vital in
terest to scientists of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion because of the confusion over
just what happened during the
third orbit and re-entry period.
