A JUNGLE SCANDAL
Did Torzon Marry Jane?

LOS ANGELES, Dec. % (AP)
While Tarzan and Jane were
living together in that tree all
those years, were they also
living together in sin?
Belated rumors of such a
jungle scandal are circulating
in nearby Downey. where some
of the restless natives may be
trying to drum Tarzan books
right out of their elementary
school libraries.
Their suspicion is that there
is nothing to indicate Tarzan
and Jane were ever legally mar
ried. And, if this is the case,
that children are being exposed
to tales about an ape man who
was up to a little monkey busi-
ness when he whisked Jane
over the threshold Of his prim-
tive penthouse and invited her
to stick around for breakfast.
The celebrated fictional hero
created by the late Edgar Rice
Burroughs has been through
this sort Of thing before. Once,
in fact, he was in effect &C
cused Of being a dupe Of the
Communists. Happily, it ap-
pears Tarzan's reputation is as
indestructible as Tarzan him.
self.
Supt. Bruce Moore of the
Downey Unified School District
said the trouble started at the
last school board meeting.
Board member Robert L. Ryan
said he'd been told a librarian
at one Of the schools removed
all the Tarzan books. Mr.
Ryan's informant didn't tell
him in which school the books
had been banned but said there

The new Woodrow Wilson

part of a solid gold ring
around Washington which will
bring uncounted benefits to the
Metropolitan Area.

Commerce Secretary Luthe +

NeutruIist Hints
Nice Surprise
From His Efforts

VIENTIANE, Laos, Dec. %
(AP) .-Neutralist Prince Sou
wanna Phouma smiled tonight
and told reporters: Let me
work on this three or four
days. Maybe you will have quite
a nice surprise"
That was Souvanna's sum-
mary Of a day of behind-the-
scenes talks among Laotians-
watched over anXiouSly by
United States, British and So
Wet ambassadors-to check
prospects for revival of the
Laotian Big Three Princes
abortive summit conference.
Premier Prince Boun Oum,
a rightist. persisted in his
refusal to sit with Prince Sou
wanna and the latter's pro-
Communist half brother, Prince
Souphanouvong. to complete
negotiations for a coalition
government.
PhOumi Pays Call
But Gen. Phoumi NoSavan,
defense minister and strong
man of the Boun Orlm admin
iStration, paid a courtesy call
on Prince Souvanna at the
latter's heavily guarded villa.
And Prince Souvanna's express
sion of apparent optimism was
issued after that meeting.
The general said he had
called to insist that Prince
Souvanna and Prince Sou
phanouvong. who angrily re-
jected o dinner invitation from
Prince Boun Oum after the
breakup yesterday, have dinner
and discussions at the generals
residence.
A spokesman for Prince Sou
phanouvong. however, promptly
announced that his highness
was too busy to attend.
The general and Prince Sou
wanna went together to Prince
Souphanouvong'S villa and per-
suaded him to attend the
dinner.
Prince Souvanna, the Premier
designate Of the proposed new
government. and his half
brother had separate audiences
with King Savang Vathana.
The results of these were not
announced.
Could Mean War
Prince Souvanna warned ear
lier in a talk with newsmen
that collapse of the negotia-
tions could plunge Laos into an
EaSt-WeSt war as well as revive
the revolution technically halted
by a ceasefire last May.
A Pathet Lao officer in town
for the talks, Gen. Phoune
Sipraseuth, said nobody wants
war" But he added 'if we are
attacked, we will fight"
Princes Souvanna and Sou
phanouvong were given the
bruShoff soon after they and
their aides arrived in this ad-
ministrative capital Wednesday.
