NATIONALIST CHINA
OFFERS HELP TO SOLVE
THE REFUGEE PROBLEM
TAIPEI, Formosa [Fh — Nation
alist China offered today to help
solve the refugee problem threat
ening to overwhelm British Hong
Kong, saying it is ready to accept
all fugitives from Bed China who
wish to come to Formosa.
This will furnish no quick solu
tion, ’ however. Reparation will be
a slow and costly process and many
of the Chinese in Hong Kong do
sot want to come to Formosa. Of
fisials in Hong Kong declined com
ment on the Nationalist proposal
until more details are available.
Fleeing from hunger in South
China, the Chinese have over
flowed the facilities of Hong Kong
and since May 1 British police and
soldiers have sent possibly 32,000
back behind the the Bamboo Cur
tain. This action has raised a storm
of world criticism.
Criticism also has fallen on Na
tionalist China because it has taken
only about 15,000 of the more than
1.5 million Chinese who have fled
to Hong Kong since the Commu
nists seized China in 1949.
The situation in Hong Kong is
critical, as the human tide of
misery continues to wash up
against the British colony. Angry
Chinese villagers clashed today
with police convoying refugees
back to the border. Two children
were injured and a policeman beat
en. I
In Peiping, the British appealed
to Red Chinese officials to check
the exodus and got a rather non
committal reply. The Communists
have been suspected of encourag
ing the departure of the hungry
because Red China is short of
food.

Dr. Boehme
Acquitted on
Assault Charges
PORT ORCHARD, Wn. IS) —
Dr. Robert E. Boehme, a physi
cian-surgeon in this small Puget
Sound town, was acquitted Friday
of charges that he tried to kill his
wife by injecting poison into her
arm.
The jury of 11 men and one
women deliberated eight hours be
fore finding Dr. Boehme innocent
of the first-degree assault charges.
“It’s a sense of relief, after
nearly IV* months of a very trying
ordeal,” Dr. Boehme said after
the trial, “although we never felt
at any time the outcome was in
doubt.”
The 42-year-old doctor’s wife,
Dorothy, contended throughout the
trial that her husband was inno
cent.
While a tense courtroom audi
ence waited the jury’s return, Dr.
and Mrs. Boehme — were doing
their usual work.
The doctor performed a tonsi
lectomy, then mowed the lawn.
His wife baked cookies. The couple
also had lunch with their pastor.
After the verdict was in, the
Boehmes went to a church social,
where Mrs. Boehme played the
piano.
The prosecution charged the
tall, dark-haired physician with
trying to murder his blonde wife
last Sept. 20 because of another
woman. _
Kitsap County prosecutor Gor
don Walgren attempted to prove
Dr. Boehme was having an affair
with his former sister-in-law, Mary
Boehme.
Dr. Boehme’s lawyer, Ray Green
wood, contended Walgren insti
gated the charges because of ro
mantic jealousy.
Walgren once was engaged to
Mary Boehme. Greenwood said the
pair went as rar as ootamg a mar
riage license.
Much of the state’s case rested
nn tflttimnnv nf a PraTT'ortnn in.
temist, Dr. Ernest Creelman, who
said Dorothy Boehme told him
“she thought she was going to
die.”
Dr. Creelman said she made the
statement after her husband in
serted a vacuum syringe into her
arm. ■
Mrs. Boehme, a diabetic, under
goes periodic blood sugar tests.
The state charged that instead
of taking blood, Dr. Boehme used
the syringe to inject an insecti
cide.
The defense contended Mrs.
Boehme suffered an insulin re
action and contracted an infection
due to the injection.

N.Y. POLICE SEEK TWO MEN
WHO KILLED DETECTIVES
NEW YORK <^P» — All 24,000
New York City policemen were
grimly alert Saturday in a search
for two men who killed two de
tectives in a point-blank gun duel
in a Brooklyn candy store. One of
the hunted men was believed to
be wounded.
The detectives, both past winners
of citations for heroism, were cut
down Friday in a brief, blazing ex
change of bullets when they burst
in on a holdup at the store. The
! bandits escaped with $3,000 to
| $4,000. Blood stains were found
along their escape route.
The victims were Luke Fallon,
56, a veteran of 25 years on the
force, and John Finnegan, 29, a
5-year veteran. Fallon was killed
with a single shot through the
heart. Finnegan was mortally
wounded with two shots in the
abdomen and a third in the
shoulder.
They were trouble shooters,
cruising in civilian clothes in a car
bearing taxicab markings and con
taining a police radio. Their job
was to try to stem a recent wave
of holdups of cab drivers.

Khrushchev Says
U.S. Is Following
A Dangerous Road
SOFIA, Bulgaria UFi — Premier
Khrushchev told a rally of Bul
garians Saturday that President
Kennedy is following “close to the
dangerous road of his predeces
sors.”
Addressing 500,000 Sofians in
the main square of this Balkan
capital, the Soviet leader quoted
Kennedy as saying earlier this year
the United States was prepared
under certain conditions too ini
tiate atomic warfare.
Khrushchev said such a policy
would be unreasonable and it
could only lead to “national sui
cide.”
“Does President Kennedy want
to push me into a competition as
to who would be the first to push
the button? Khrushchev asked.
“We are against such a competi
tion. We only want to keep our
powder dry and be ready.”
The speech marked the end of j
Khrushchev’s week-long visit to;
Bulgaria.
MARINES CONFRONTED
WITH RAIN AND SNAKES
UDON, Thailand UFi — Gen. Paul
Harkins flew on an inspection
round of U S. forces sent to bolster
Thailand’s defenses along the
border of Communist - menaced
Laos Saturday and praised the
speed with which the American
Marines were digging in.
Heavy rains of the monsoon sea
son lashed the rice paddy field
where the Marines were camped
near this town 30 miles from the
Laos border, and the general de
clared they must soon be moved
“The local Thais have been verj
generous,” he said, “but we’ve go’
to get the men to suitable higl
ground. Where they are now i
floods easily.”
“There are lost of snakes in th«
area,” he added.
The Marines are expected to
I move to a more permanent camp
22 miles east of Udon near Nong
Lanan. The present site is about
eight miles east of Udon.
Memorial Wreaths at Cavotas
BAPTIST CHURCH TO
PRESENT TWO FILMS
Two unusual films will be
shown starting at 8 tonight at the
Bible Baptist Church. The first
concerns the mysterious country
of Egypt, and the missionary work
of Miss Lillian Trasher.
Miss Trasher labored as a mis
sionary in Egypt for 50 years and
passed away just this past De
cember of 1961. This film of Egypt,
titled, "The Nile Mother", will
be a great challenge to anyone
seeing it.
The second film is a sound mo
tion picture of an actual message
preached by Rev. Tony Martins,
National Evangelist of Portugal
and president of the Portuguese
Baptist Assn. Rev. Martins does
not speak English and the entire
message is translated into English
by Rev. Ken Cumings, missionary
to Portugal. The subject of Rev.
Martins’ message is “The Price of
Victory,” and is his own personal
testimony of his spiritual and
physical release from the domi
nating power of Portugal.
This second film is not a dra
matic film and therefore is not in
the nature of entertainment. Rev.
Martins’ personal testimony is a
stirring one as well as a challenge
to any Christian.
No offerings taken. The films
will begin at 8.

MOST foot troubles begin dur
ing infancy, says Simon J.
Wikler, a noted podiatrist
Why? Because of shoes that
cramp and eventually deform
the baby’s soft, pliable foot
„ bones. His remedy: a revolu
tionary new shoe that allows
baby’s growing toes, to stretch
freely and develop normally.
Perfected after 12 years, the
Wikler Shoe by Buster Brown
virtually lets baby “walk bare
