Marines Resupply Con Thien Outpost
SAIGON Taking advantage of a letup in Commu
nist shelling, U.S. Marines worked feverishly yesterday to
resupply their outpost at Con Thien and otner battered
pressure points • just below the demilitarized zone. Im
proved weather helped.
Reports from the northern-most Ist Corps area said
only three rounds of enemy fire hit Con Thien, a sharp con
trast to the scores of shells that screamed in daily auring
September. Two raids by 852 jets contributed about 25 tons
of explosives to the American counterfire of the day.
Helicopters ferried ammunition, rations and other sup
plies from the Marine base at Dong Ha, 10 miles south of
the DMZ, toJ build up stockpiles against the time when
northeast monsoon storms begindrenching the forward
Leatherneck lines later this month.
• The dirt road from Dong Ha to Con Thien was no help
Heavy rains had made the• road impassable for trucks.

Nazi Evades Police, Safe in Austria
VIENNA, Austria Erich Rajakovic, a Nazi deputy
to the notorious Adolf Eichmann, has evaded police in
Yugoslavia and returned to 'Austria, where he is safe from
arrest for war crimes in the Netherlands.
Interviewed in his apartment at Graz yesterday, Raja
kovic declined to say whether he had been tinned off that
the Dutch had learned he was in Yugoslavia and asked that
he .be extradited to face charges of complicity in Lne
slaughter of thousands of Jews.
But in the fashionable Yugoslavia seaside resort of
Piran, where he had been on vacation, his wife indicated
that Yugoslav police had telegraphed their punch. She
said police visited Rajakovic Sunday night, took up his
pasport, and told him not to leave.
Rajakovie then vanished, leaving his wife and daughter
in Piran. His Vienna lawyer said the 61-year-old former
SS-elite guard-officer returned to Austria Monday night
while Yugoslav police were looking for him in Piran.
Fern Heads for Mexico, Spares Texas
BROWNSVILLE, Tex. Diminutive Hurricane Fern
aimed her 85-mile-an-hour winds at the oil-rich Mexican
coast yesterday as she speeded up on a track that would
spare ravaged South Texas from further damage.
The Weather Bureau said Fern, which sprang to life
only Monday in the Gulf of Mexico, would smash across
the coast between Tampico and mouth of the Soto la
Marina River early Tuesday night.
Fern was following the line taken by Hurricane Inez,
which thrashed ashore north of Tampico Oct. 10, 1966, kill
ing 65 personi — and leaving 84,000 homeless in Mexico.
The Weather Bureau said Fern was a "small hurricane."
Minimum winds of 75 m.p.h. are required for hurricane
designation.
The expected landfall was 200 miles south of Browns
ville, where gigantic Hurricane Beulah came ashore 13
days ago with 160 m.p.h. winds, high tides and rains of 20
and 30 inches.

Truckers - Retied Peace Ptah:-
PITTSBURGH L The eight-state steel haulers strike
marred by stonings, shootings and beatings threatened to
spread yesterday, when strike leaders vowed to stop every
thing on the highways "except wheelbarrows and bicycles."
Calling Friday's proposed peace plan with the Team
sters Union a "standard line of doubletalking, lies and con
tradictions," the steel haulers said it was voted down
almost to a man.
The rejection brought renewed violence in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio. A trucker was shot near Fremont. Ohio,
and another was beaten unconscious in Canfield, Ohio,
Trucking companies that had reopened hopefully:with
the weekend news of a truce began closing down again
yesterday.

Cleveland Voters Flock To Polls
CLEVELAND, Ohio Voters flocked to the polls in
unprecedented numbers yesterday to choose between the
incumbent and a Negro lawyer for the Democratic mayoral
nomination.
And political observers gave Negro State Rep. Carl B.
Stokes a 50-50 chance of unseating Mayor Ralph S. Locher.
Winning the Democratic nomination usually is tanta
mount to election in this industrial Lake Erie city. Demo
crats have occupied the mayor's office for more than 25
years.
This is Stokes' second attempt to become Cleveland's
first Negro mayor.
• In a four-man' contest for the $25,000-a-year execu
tive post in the 1965 general election, Locher beat the
40-year-old Stokes by only 2.143 votes—about one per
cent. Locher fell short of polling a majority.
There was a recount of 1965' and advance predictions
are that the three-man Democratic contest will be so
close that another recount will be needed.

Son Searches far Father's Remains
REDDING, Calif. A determined son led searchers
over a rain-scaked mountain yesterday hunting for re
mains of his father near the wreckage of a family plane
that yielded only bones of two Women.

then snow-covered Trinity Mountains while seeking help
for his wife and step-daughter.
A diary found with the shattered plane Sunday told of
the remarkable - two months survival of the women and
how Oien started out for help.
Near the little gray plane lay the scattered bones of
Phyllis Oien'and her daughter, Carla Corbus, 16.
Alvin Oien Jr., • 30, an airline pilot, led a party into the
mountains northwest of Redding yesterday in a search for
the missing Portland, Ore., hotelman.
Alvin Jr., of Westlake, TeX., had spent 107 days in
Redding after the family plane crashed last March 11,
searching by air for the little gray Cessna plane when
ever the weather permitted.
