Murray Resigned Sell
To Death, Wife Says;
Through With Flying

DR.. Vance B. Murray had re-
signed himself to death after his
plane crashed in the Canadian
wilds August 7, his wife reported
today.
Mrs. Murray Of 1909 Van Ness
street NV. said DR.. Murray had
told her by telephone that he had
little food, no hope and a badly
swollen knee when found by a
trapper farmer on a gravel bar at
the foot of a 2,000-foot canyon. DR..
Murray is en- route home and is
through with flying"
"All the food I had when they
found me was a half box of soda
crackers, a can Of chilli con carne
and part of a wiener" he told her.
His knee, injured when the plane
crashed, was so badly swollen he
could hardly walk.
Gives Plane Away,
I laid down on the gravel bed
and thought this is the end" she
quoted him.
DR.. Murray told the Associated
Press he had given his plane, a
single e-engined Cessna, to j. Pete
Mccullough, the trapper who led his
rescue.
II hope he has," his wife said.
I'm certainly glad if he has given
up flying"
His account Of the accident
cleared up early reports that he
purposely intended landing at an
abandoned airport.
DR.. Murray, United States Public
Health Service physician. with the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, has been
flying for years and on several occa-
sions has flown serum to remote
parts of North America on mercy
missions.
Eyes Affected by Sun.
He said his eyes apparently had
been affected by the bright sun and
he was unable to read his map. He
said he was attempting to get on
the Edmonton -Grande Prairie radio
beam when the engine failed.
II landed on the gravel and the
plane turned over on it's back after
rolling into some trees" he went on.
Mrs. Murray said her husband has
left Edmonton for Washington, but
did not know when he would arrive

New York Police Will Get
Two 'Kosenkino Letters

The State Department decided to-
day to turn over to New York police
photoStatic copies of two letters pur-
portedly written by Mrs. Oksana
Stepanovna Kasenkina.
The copies we're sent to the de-
psrtment at its request by the Soviet
Embassy Tuesday night, along with
note announcing the immediate
closing Of Soviet consulates in New
York and San Francisco and calling
for closing of the American con-
sulate in Vladivostok.
Michael J. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, said transla-
ton Of the letters, which were very
difficult to read, was completed to-
day except for q few spots where
they are illegible.
He said they will be sent to the
New York. police, who have been
investigating the Kasenkina case,
as part OF the investigative process" !"
Mr.. McDermott told reporters the
authenticity OF the letters has not
been confirmed. Presumably, New
York police will ask Mrs. Kasenkina
whether the documents submitted by
the Soviet Embassy actually are
copies of letters written by her.
One of the letters In question was
written by Mrs. Kasenkina to Soviet
Consul General Jacob M. Lomakin
in New York early this month while
she was at Reed Farm, operated by
the Communist Tolstoy Foun-
dation.
Mrs. Kasenkina told reporters
yesterday that she had explained
in this letter her dissatisfaction
with the Soviet regime. The Soviets
have claimed 1t was a plea to
Snatch her from the hands" of the
anti Communist group.
The other letter was found by
New York police in Mrs. Kasenkina's s
room at the Consulate after her
Jump August IL and was turned over
to Mr.. Lomakin unopened.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
this Government had considered ac-
ton to close the Russian consulates
here and American consulates IN
Russia before the Soviet government
took the action itself.
State Department officials had
been considering move to close the
Soviet consulates here In retaliation

Texans Try to Change
False Impressions
Of Their Republic"
CuffIemen's Association Launches
Campaign Among 0ffsprings Of
Texus-Truined Veterans

JACKSONVILLE, TEX.-A group
of Texans here have embarked or
a venture to correct the false notions
about Texas which have been spread
by ex-G.I.'s who were stationed ir
the state during the war.
Recognizing that QUITO state
men who trained in army and navy
camps in Texas during the war
went away denouncing the state,
fluently and bitterly, the associa-
ton is launching what it calls a ma
tional corrective campaign" So says
H. B. Fox, who sees all, knows all
and tells all about Southeastern
Texas.
And here's the pearl in the cam
paign oyster:
To the offspring of a Texas
trained, out-of-state veteran who
writes the best letter on "Why My
Daddy Is Wrong About Texas" the
jacksonville Sidewalk Cattlemen's
association will give a free trip to
jacksonville and a weeks visit on
a nearby ranch, climaxed by the
designation of honor guest at the
associations annual barbecue.
"Just sit down and write us a
letter explaining why you know your
daddy is wrong about Texas" the
association says. Get the letter to
us. The writer of the best letter
will receive a round-trip plane ticket
and the cattlemen will do the rest.
mo strings are attached. You
don't have to send us any bottle tops,
old horseshoes, belt buckles, saddle
blankets or your fathers service
patch-and we certainly wouldn't
want any facsimiles."
Fox said officials of the sidewalk
cattlemen feel that "the opinion of
out-of-state veterans is a war-born
neurosis that would have developed
against Rhode Island, West
Virginia or New York, had a soldier
trained there. The contention that
Texas is a dull, flat, ~wind-swept,
sand-corroded, sun-blistered, insect
ridden place is an unfortunate after
nath of world conflict"

African Hunter
Tells TribuIations
In Hunting Balloons
Youthful zooIogisf Will Collect A
Series of Skeletons of Small
Animals

TAUNGS, SOUTH AFRICA. A
leader of the University of Cali
fornia expedition seeking a series
of baboon skulls here told of the
many tribulations encountered in
hunting the wary animals.
Thomas w. Larson, who heads the
geological program, said:
"The balloons are extremely wild
and I usually have to shoot them
from 500 to 1000 yards, which is
quite difficult, since they jump
around like jacks-in-the-box."
The youthful biologists detectives
are to collect a series of skeletons
Of small animals for use by the
psychologists and a mounted series
for the university's museum of YER
tebrate zoology.
Larson now has specimens of So
species of mammals and scores of
reptiles of various types, in addition
to an assortment of frogs, poisonous
snakes and other forms, which he
has preserved in alcohol. One of
his assignments was to prepare and
ship the skeleton of an elephant.
Larson reported that he had col
lected skulls of two rare aard
wolves, insect-eating hyenas whose
teeth have been reduced to tiny
nubs, neal Omataka Flat. He was
planning a weeks trip with a pro-
fessional hunter in search of equally
rare aard varks.
The aard vark is a mammal with
a pig-like snout, erect ears and
strong claws, which it uses to dig
into termite hills for food. 1t leaves
its burrow only at night and is sell
dom seen. The aard vark uses it's
long, sticky tongue to trap the ter
mites, its teeth, through years of
1isuse, having been reduced to pegs.
Larson will also seek to add ratels,
meerkats and ~long-eared foxes to
mis- collection.
