Sen. Kerr's Estate Liable To Heavy Taxes

WASHINGTON R - Robert S. Kerr's attorney says the late sen- ator apparently never got around to making a new will and his es- tate may be liable to heavy federal and Oklahoma inheritance taxes.
 William Underhill, the senator's Washington attorney and longtime friend, said Friday that the only will that has turned up was made in 1889 when the Oklahoma oil- man was worth much less-"pos- sibly half million dollars" when he died.
 The Democratic senator's person. al fortune was estimated at $35 million to $50 million when he died in a Washington hospital Jan. 1.
 Underhill said he had talked with Kerr many times about mak- ing out new will, and four or five actually were drafted to take advantage of tax-saving charitable gifts and trusts allowed by the law.
 But Kerr never signed them, he said, "because he always brought up something new he wanted in- cluded."

DODGE CITY, Kan. R - Freak ish chinook winds blowing off the slopes of the Rocky Mountains warmed Dodge City to an unsea- sonable 86 degrees Friday.
 The warming 35-mile-an-hour winds also kicked up a dust storm that turned the sky a dark brown by late afternoon, and fed a stub- born prairie fire that blackened a section of land before wind shift blew it out.
 In the same vicinity of western Kansas, Garden City reported 84 degrees, Hill City "A and Russell 70 during the chinook.

1O3 Killed When Roof Falls In On Catholic School In Ecuador

QUITO, Ecuador R - The col lapse of a Roman Catholic school building at Biblian during chapel prayer services Friday killed at least 103 persons, including four teachers. Their bodies were re- covered by search parties still looking for others Saturday.
 Authorities expressed fear as many as 130 may have perished.
 The disaster struck unexpected ly at the Heart of Mary College in Biblian, an Andean mountain town 200 miles south of Quito, about 450 children were trapped in the ruins when the ceiling caved in during prayer services. Some quickly freed themselves.

Mutt Mothers Bear Baby
 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. R - A

bear cub adopted by a mongrel dog after being rejected by its own mother has died in the Little Rock Zoo.
 Raymond Squires, ZOO director, said the dogs milk apparently was not rich enough for the baby bear which died Friday.
 The bears parents abandoned the cub as soon as it was born. An other cub died of apparent ex- posture and Squires got the dog from the pound to nurse the sur viving cub.
 The dog recently had lost a lit ter of puppies. It cared for the cub lovingly, and when the dog would leave the bed for a few moments, the little bear yelped.

Refugees Leaving Cuba Witness Gunplay As Prisoner Attempts Escape

MIAMI, Fla. R - Cuban-Amer- jeans fleeing Fidel Castro's Cuba witnessed one last flareup of gum play as they filed aboard Red Cross plane with what few pos sessions they were able to keep from Cuban police.
 The gunfire was drawn by a handcuffed prisoner who obvious ly wanted to leave Cuba with them. He didn't make it.
 Passengers reported after land- ing at Miami Friday that the hand cuffed captive broke from his guards at Havana Airport and raced onto the runway area. One guard fired burst from his sub- machine gun.
 The slugs apparently did not wound the fugitive, who flattened himself on the ground, but spray ed the right fuel tank of parked Russian-built Cuban airlines plane
 Gasoline poured from the bullet holes in the tank while guards swarmed from the terminal build ing. Passengers said the escapee was corralled quickly and led away.
 Most of the 1O6 Cuban-Ameri- cans and relatives were aboard the Pan American World Airways plane, which delivered a Bay of Pigs prisoner ransom installment to Castro, before the outburst of the machine gun fire.

One thing about the whirlpool
once you got in, it was
hard to get out. because every
time you started up the bank,
someone would plant a glob of
mud as close to your rear end
as possible, which would REQUIRE
another trip to the creek to
wash off, etc.
Fred Chapman was another of
the famous "whirlpoolers. He
was always 80 solly' when he

Just about everybody who went
