Michigan Woman Ends
Eight-Day Campout In
Suh-Zero Cold; Wins Bet
CLARE, Mich. UP — A 47-year
old woman ended an eight-day
campout in sub-zero woods Satur
day and won a $150 bet she could
do it.
“I still say anybody could do
it,” Mrs. Lavina Radabaugh said
as she walked out of the snow
filled forest that had been home
since a week ago Friday.
She survived merely with what
equipment and provisions she could
carry into the woods on her back.
A convoy of antique cars—and
her truck-driver husband, Beryl—
met Mrs. Radabaugh and escorted
her 10 miles into Clare. The hubby
had stayed home—except for eat
i.ig out—until Saturday.
Comedian Ole Olsen
Is Dead At 71
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. —
John Sigvard <01e> Olsen, 71, who
made millions laugh when he ca
vorted on the stage and the screen
with the late Chick Johnson a few
years ago, died Saturday in an
Albuquerque hospital.
Hospital authorities said Olsen
came to Albuquerque about two
weeks ago from his home in Wich
ita, Kan., for kidney surgery.
The comedian had been living
with a daughter, Mrs. William
Lear Sr., in Wichita.
One of Olsen’s best remembered
appearances was in “Hellzapop
pin,” in which he and Johnson
performed both on the stage and
the movies. This was 'comedy of
the wildest kind.
Johnson died about a year ago.
MAN FOUND DEAD
SHEATHED IN ICE
ST. LOUIS (tf) — A man was
found frozen to death, sheathed in
ice, today.
George Calvert, 47, was found
beneath a burst water pipe by
patrolman Allen Hampton.
The officer said Calvert, an
epileptic, apparently was working
on the pipe and suffered a seizure.
Authorities had to chop away
ice before the body could be
moved.
Hampton and workmen went to
the scene after neighbors told au
thorities that water was running
out of the house.
Cuban Refugees Didn’t
Want Their Children
To Become Communists
MIAMI, Fla. UP> — “We didn’t
want our children to become com
munists.”
That statement by a refugee
couple was echoed by others in
explaining why 292 children left
Cuba Friday—253 aboard the SS
Shirley Lykes and 39 by special
plane.
The children were among 1,272
Cubans reaching Miami, believed
to be the largest refugee influx in
a single day since Fidel Castro took
over in 1959. Of the total, 1,170
arrived on the Shirley Lykes, re
turning from delivering prisoner
ransom cargo to Havana.
Parents said Communist indoc
trination is the principal objective
of Cuban schools under the Fidel
Castro government.
Indoctrinations didn’t make
much headway with 11-year-old
Milagros Hernandez, who arrived
by plane accompanied only by two
dolls, Alberto and Mariquita.
“I didn’t like school in Cuba,”
said the slender brunette. “There
was too much talk about Com
munism. I don’t like that.”
Also, said Milagros, “they made
us work in sugar cane and coffee
fields because they don’t have
enough workers.”
She added: “I didn’t go. I said
I was sick.”
Milagros’ father, Osvaldo Her
nandez, sent her dolls for Epip
hany—Jan. 6, when Cubans get
their Christmas presents — two
years ago.
Europe’s Cold Wave Kills
Off Four Pet Porpoises
CESENATICO, Italy — Four
porpoises, including one sent to
this Adriatic seaside resort from
Florida, died Saturday—victims of
Europe’s cold wave.
The severe winter was too much
for Florida-born Palooza, his
Adriatic-born mate Lalla, and their
two aquarium chums, Jumbo and
Belle.
Ice formed over their pools as
usually sunny Cesenatico was lash
ed for days by snow and freezing
winds. The porpoises repeatedly
smashed against the ice, trying to
keep their pools from freezing over
and prevent them from breathing.
Their keepers tried to help.
But in the effort to fight off ice,
the porpoises suffered numerous
injuries, officials said. Their deaths
were attributed to those injuries.
Lalla and Palooza were among
the world’s most famous porpoises.
She was fished out of the Adriatic
and was pining away in the Cese
natico aquarium.
Officials figured she was lonely
and asked Miami, Fla., to help.
The American city sent Palooza
in August 1960. With a jazz band
playing a wedding march, he was
dumped into the pool.
Lalla and Palooza had two
babies, but both died.
The Chinese always have been
among the world’s greatest lovers
of good food. In former times a top
ranking chef sometimes was re
warded by being elevated to the
aristocracy.

Sniper Kills Mother
Of Five Children
In Detroit Suburb
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. W
—A mother of five children was
shot and killed in the kitchen of
her home in this fashionable dis
trict Friday night by a sniper who
fired a rifle through a window.
The sniper, judged to be a boy
by the size of his footprints in
the snow, was believed the same
one who has caused terror in this
Detroit suburban neighborhood by
previously firing into homes.
Mary Godfrey, 38, wife of a
Baptist minister who is part
owner of a tool and die shop, was
shot while making sandwiches for
the family as they watched tele
vision.
Mrs. Godfrey was hit in the
head by a .22-caliber rifle bullet.
In the past two weeks a sniper
using a pellet gun fired into two
homes. No one was hurt. Police
warned home owners and have gone
on nightly patrol with a police
dog.
Bloomfield Hills, home of Gov.
George Romney prior to his elec
tion last fall, is a small Oakland
County city between Detroit and
Pontiac.
Mrs. Godfrey had been watch
ing television in the $40,000 split
level home with her husband,
Donald, and three of the children
when she went to the kitchen to
make sandwiches about 9:30 p.m.
When Mrs. Godfrey did not soon
reappear, her husband went to the
kitchen and found her unconscious
on the floor.
Godfrey, an ordained minister
though he has no parish, thought
his wife had fainted and injured
herself in the fall. He took her to
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pon
tiac. At the hospital it was found
she had been shot between the nose
and left eye.
