John Doubleday, a 32-year-old
British sculptor, was commissioned
to do the statue and Harrington re
cently saw Charlie Chaplin in
bronze, unveiled for private inspec
tion in a west London foundry.
But where to put it? The fight be
gan all over again.
Harrington, who works as a
schoolmaster when he’s not at city
hall, wanted it erected in the area of
Chaplin’s unhappy childhood, near
his birthplace in London’s South
wark, south of the River Thames.
Sculptor Doubleday, however,
wanted a more central site for his
work. A lengthy debate settled on
Leicester Square.
“It’s the heart of the entertain
ment area of London,” Harrington
said. “Quite a lot of people feel the
area needs one or two objects in it
which will bring in more people to
look. But personally I don’t share
their view. ”
He contended the statue will be
more a tourist attraction than a
memorial in its new planned loca
tion.
“I think it’s unfortunate, because
in the southern part of the city we
have a very barren urban environ
ment,” he said.

Before the talks began, a neighbor
who lives near the embassy said a

“We are prepared to celebrate April

The date will mark the 10th
anniversary of the founding of the
leftist group.
The one-hour and 42-minute talks
ended with smiles on the faces of the
three men and an exchange of hand

First, they love the way it writes. Really smooth and extra-fine. They
go wild over its clever metal collar that helps keep the point from going
squish. Naturally they “forget” to give it back, although it’s only 79#.
This can be very embarrassing when they're caught in the act.
Others have pocketed Pilot’s Fineliner pen, The one with the slightly

South Koreans sink
communist spyboat

guerrillas over captives
United Press International
SEOUL, South Korea — South
Korean military units sank an armed
North Korean spyboat Tuesday less
than 48 hours after repulsing frog
men infiltrating from the north, the
defense ministry said.
Four South Koreans were killed
— one navy man and three fisher
men who were gunned down when
the fleeing North Korean vessel fired
indiscriminately at fishing boats.
One fisherman was missing and one
South Korean navy man injured.
It was the second bloody clash be
tween the two Koreas since early
Sunday when three armed North
Korean frogmen were shot and killed
as they crossed to the south at a point
less than 15 miles from Seoul.
Barely 45 hours later, the North
Korean spyboat approached the
southeastern coast and was spotted
Israel can

PLO chief
United Press International
VIENNA — Palestine Liberation
Organization chief Yasser Arafat de
nied in an interview published
Tuesday that his movement wants
to destroy Israel.
It is my intention neither to kill or
destroy anyone,” Arafat told the dai
ly Die Presse in reply to a question
on whether the aims of the PLO in
cluded the destruction of Israel.
Arafat’s remarks were made in
Beirut during an interview with Die
Presse.
It was the first time the PLO lead
er has publicly denied his aim was
the destruction of Israel. During his
visit to Austria last year he carefully
avoided making any such statement.
early Tuesday 12 miles east of
Pohang.
A South Korean navy high-speed
patrol craft approached the unidenti
fied vessel and ordered it to heave to,
the ministry said.
Instead, the North Korean boat
opened fire and then began fleeing
eastward into the Japan Sea, accord
ing to the announcement.
The patrol boat, while giving
chase, radioed a message for air sup
port and as a result a joint sea and air
operation sank the North Korean
vessel at a point 35 nautical miles
east of Pohang.
Following the Sunday incident,
the United Nations Command led by
a U.S. Army general sought a meet
ing of the Korean Military Armistice
Commission to protest the infiltra
tion, military sources said. North
Korea has not yet responded, the
sources said.
