Some residents are under the impression they will

can't afford," said one renter in the area.
However, James Yielding, executive director of the

“We did some praying,” added M. C. Probst, 50-

Probst said seas ran from 3 to 6 feet, but the coast
guard completed the rescue operation in 3%2 hours.

Clair Hall, 59-year-old Indianapolis real estate man,
he and his wife were awake in their cabins when
“we felt a couple of bumps.”
“Someone yelled for the captain,” he said, "and he
came quickly and tried to pull the sails down. But every
time we hit, we hit harder.
“The waves drove us in until we hit so hard we were
fast.
“But the only scary thing was getting into the life
raft. The waves rolled over the reef. I got hit by one that
seemed 10 feet over my head, and it knocked me flat in
the raft.”
' The MAndalay, nearing the end of a 10-day cruise,
was skippered by Capt. Asmund Gjevik.
Hall praised the conduct of Gjevik and crew mem-
bers. There was no panic aboard, he said.
While the rafts were being inflated, the passengers
stood on the high side of the sharply tilting vessel.
Four young skindivers were among the last to leave.

All persons interviewed were resigned not to fight

"It would be useless,” said Mrs. Hall. “If the federal
government wants my house, they will get it one way or
another. I don’t have enough money to fight it."
Stories about the futility of fighting urban renewal
are abundant in the area. Three residents said they had
heard of cases in other cities where urban renewal au-

to court and the owners ended up getting substantially

PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) —
Thousands of residents in al
12-square mile area of south
Phoenix were warned Fri-
day morning to evacuate
their homes a the Salt Riv-
er flooded.
The warning sirens went
off round 8: 30 a.m. after of-
ficers spent the night warn-
ing residents they might
have to flee to higher
ground.
A new crest was expected
to come later Friday as wa-
ter flowed bank to bank
down the normally dry river
bed which cuts through
south Phoenix.
Only one bridge linked the
southern part of the city
with the downtown area.
Other roads were covered
with water.
The sheriff's office report-
ed a young boy apparently
drowned when he tried to
swim from a car which be-
came stalled on a river bed
road. Another passenger
climbed up on top of the ve-
hicle and was rescued.
Phoenix officers said no
homes outside the river bed
had been flooded yet, but the
water was rising fast.
Ironically, Phoenix was
enjoying a bright, sunny
day.

HOME FIVE CENTS
By Bob Hope
DA NANG — I must tell
you a touching vignette
about this war I heard in
Nha Trang.
A sergeant of the 101st
Airborne Division intro-
duced me to two South
Vietnamese brothers,
Hien, 15 and Thein, 16,
who, after witnessing the
murder of their father by
the Viet Cong, gave our
GI’s information which re-
sulted in the capture of an
entire Cong platoon.
The Cong put a price on
the boys’ heads. The kids
have been adopted and are
being protected constantly
by the 101st.
Over there, there’s no
draft age. You’re in the
war the minute you’re
born.
We boarded a C-130 an
headed for Chu Lai. There
are so many Viet Cong in
the area we made what
they call a vertical landing
which made us less of a
target. It's something like
falling out of a twenty-sto-
ry building. Your stomach

• Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Nix
17, another son of Judge
Kirksey Nix, remained in
Oklahoma County jail where
he is serving a 60-day sen-
t e n c e on two assault
charges.
Fort Smith officers first
reported the younger Nix
was the one arrested there.
However, a check at the Ok-
lahoma County jail estab-
lished that the 17-year-old
youth was still behind bars.
Jailers said he has not left
the jail since December 22.
Police said Nix was arrest-
ed in a cafe and charged
with carrying a .25 automat-
ic pistol.
Scattered showers end-
ing Saturday. Highs Fri-
day 56 to 76, lows 34 to 60.
