dition, he said.
Many post-Civil War authors
portrayed the South as a place of
chivalrous knights and happy
slaves, and tried to say the war
never should have occurred,
Kellner said, but Twain was one
of the few writers to show the
South as it really was.
Twain was a realist who wrote
what he saw, Kellner said. Twain
was noted for his use of dialect
not only for blacks, but for
Southern whites as well, he said.
“Huckleberry Finn” is set before
the Civil War when such lan
guage was commonly used. The
word “nigger” w r as used by both
blacks and whites.
Education of both students
and parents will solve the cur
rent controversy, Kellner said.
“The solution is more educa
tion,” Kellner said. “That
sounds ironic — we’ve had high
schools in existence for many
years. We’ve been teaching the
book for many years, and what
we need to do is educate the pa
rents — the white parents as well
as the black parents — because
there may be some white parents
who are still so caught up in their
own bigotry that they might
chuckle when they see the word
‘nigger’ in that book.”
Kellner said the best way to
educate parents about Twain’s
books is through the media. He
said he is glad to see the media
exposure the controversy has re
ceived and said he hopes it will
make people aware olv
happening.

COLUMBIA, La. — A train
carrying 120,000 gallons of
hazardous materials derailed in
rural northern Louisiana, leak
ing highly flammable liquid and
injuring a crewman who inhaled
the fumes, state police said
Monday.
Three tank cars of a Missouri
Pacific train left the tracks about
30 miles south of Monroe in the
Columbia Heights area late Sun
day. Two of the cars started
leaking flammable methyl acry
late, but no evacuation was
ordered because the spill was
minor.
“The train crewman sniffed a
little of it and had to be taken to
the hospital,” state poliJ

Spy search nabs Hungarian
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A native
of Hungary, arrested on espion
age charges, got classified U.S.
Army documents on behalf of
the Hungarian intelligence ser
vice, an FBI spokesman said
Monday.
FBI Director William Webs
ter said Otto A. Gilbert, 50, a
naturalized American citizen,
was arrested Saturday in Augus
ta, Ga., after he received the
material from an Army warrant
officer cooperating with federal
agents. The arrest culminated a
four-year investigation by the
authorities.
The FBI did not disclose de
tails of the case, but said no clas
sified material had been fur
nished to Gilbert before his
arrest. However, a spokesman
said, documents seized from Gil
bert at the time of his arrest con
tained information that, if re
leased, could jeopardize U.S.
security.
“Cases like this which occa
sionally come to the public’s
attention are merely the tip of
the iceberg,” Webster said.
“These cases clearly demons
trate, however, that our military
and industrial technology is spy
target No. 1 for foreign intelli
gence operations.”
The- FBI said Gilbert, who
also uses the name Otto Gyepes,
was working on behalf of the
Hungarian intelligence service.
Federal authorities refused to
say whether the spy charges in-
rdo
volved Fort Gordon, an Army
post in Augusta, or the Savan
nah River Plant, which produces
weapons-grade nuclear material
in a sprawling facility just across
the border in South Carolina.

to obtain classified information.

U.S. Attorney Hinton R.
Pierce said the arrest was the re
sult of an extensive and pro
longed investigation by federal
authorities and is believed to be
one of the biggest spy cases in
U.S. history. Pierce refused to
elaborate on items found in Gil
bert’s luggage, but called them
unbelievable.

CHAMPAGNE — just the mention of its conjurs up such
visions of gaiety, celebrations, weddings, New Years Eve,
wealth, splendor, nobility, the toasting of dignitaries, includ
ing Kings, Queens, Emperors and Presidents, even the
launching of ships. Technically, it refers to the district in
France bearing the same name and to the unique process for
producing a sparkling white wine, as well as to the Cham
pagne itself. It is made from the fermented and refermented
juice of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, produced
near Reims and Epernay in northwest France, and the home
of some of the finest producers of Champagne in the world.
While similar products are produced in California and New
York State, and also called Champagne, technically they are
really sparkling white wines. It is this sparkle, consisting of
bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, one of the by-products of the
grape fermentation, that sets Champagne apart from other
wines. In producing the Champagne these bubbles are re
tained in the bottle, waiting to be finally released and rise to
the surface, after uncorking. The build-up of the internal
pressure in the wine is why the corks are securely held down
by wire. Let Monsieur Ira plan your wine-tasting party.
