Once, someone lent the clowns a baby
chimpanzee to take to children's outing.
The chimp, wearing starched white shirt
and pink pants, sat on a clowns knee and
behaved like a real trouper until refresh
ments were passed out. Then the animal
scampered over chairs and tables. running
on with all the soda pop and cookies he
could grab That broke up the party. It
also broke up-forever-the chimps act
with the clowns. He stole the show.
A tremendous capacity for human kind
ness keeps these men ION the go" practi-
cally every week end and at least one night
a week. One incident explains why:
It was during the Junior Chamber boat
ride. J0-Jo noticed little girl In wheel
chair Both her legs were In braces
He went over to her and took her hand
and her face beamed as she asked, "Are
you really CLOWN" Then her hand, guided
by his, touched his face, his costume and
his funny hat, and she laughed.
She laughed-even though she could not
see.

Odessa distributing anti-Soviet
literature which had been
printed in Israel.
Soviet officials said he was
questioned only one hour and
freed after he showed diplo-
matte credentials and signed
a statement admitting guilt.
They declared he. committed
various acts far beyond his
diplomatic duties and at
tempted TO enlist a Soviet citi-
zen in anti-Soviet activities.
A formal Soviet reply, re-
pudiating the Israeli charges,
was delivered TO the Israeli
