 But Deputy Sheriffs Jerry Hill and Dan Weisberger blushingly wrote happy ending to the story.
 The 41-year-old woman stepped calmly out of a maize field two hours after she vanished, still un- adorned except for her red foot wear.
 Hill and Weisberger said their two-hour hunt began when flus- tered man rushed into the sher- ifs office last night. He said he and his wife, driving along country road, decided to take a swim in an irrigation ditch. They stripped. He walked over to the ditch and when he turned around

Call Attention
To Refugee
Intellectuals

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. -
(NC1 - The tragic problem of
refugee intellectuals was called
to the attention of the Social Com
mission of the Economic and So
cial Council by the representative
of the International Catholic Mi
grafton Commission.
Irene Dalgiewicz said that few
of these intellectuals find employ
ment in their own professions and
often are destitute. She urged:
ID that a survey be made of
their present situation, since it is
impossible to act unless informa-
tion is available;
~ that supplementary training
be provided to enable refugees to
practice their professions in coun-
tries of reSettlement;
~ that restrictions on admis-
sion and practice of professions
be relaxed;
az that further efforts be made
to employ refugee intellectuals
in U.N. technical assistance pro-
jects and in countries where there
is lack of professional experts.
Pax Romano, which has done a
great deal of work with refugee
intellectuals, joined the Migra.
tion Commission in the statement.

Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands
now number 30,425,015 according
to the Directory, just issued by j.
