Quirks in the news
Shoppers fight over
furs
United Press International
CHICAGO — Arms were
torn off and hair was pulled
out but it was all in the name
of good will.
Most of the damage was
done to 1,600 secondhand fur
coats priced at $25 each at the
annual Goodwill Industries
coat sale and chitterling lest
Saturday.
More than 2,000 fur-
crazed buyers streamed
through the warehouse leav
ing a wake of defeated fellow
shoppers and a few ravaged
coats.
“I saw two ladies fighting
over a mink,” Rosa Williams
said. “One of them pulled the
arms off. I got pushed into the
corner.”
“Stand back — they’re like
ly to do anything when it com
es to those coats, said Robert
Bright, associate executive di
rector of Goodwill. “I pushed
those right out into the middle
of the room and got out of the
way. We thought they might
stampede the stock room.”
Another shopper, Sudie
Davis, said, “I was not ready
for this. Those ladies, who are
old enough to be my mother,
just started fighting. I got
pushed out of the way and I
didn't dare go back to the rack
until they got what they
wanted. Those women des
troyed a few of the good furs.”
Worker hits jackpot
LAS VEGAS — A Califor
nia aerospace worker who
watched a man win $250,000
on a slot machine hit a quar-
ter-of-a-million dollar jackpot
a few hours later.
William Flournoy of Ing-
lewood, Calif., a 40-year-old
maintenance supervisor,
plunked about $500 w^orth of
silver dollars in the Flamingo
Hilton progressive slot
machine Saturday before lin
ing up five sevens for the
$250,000 jackpot.
A few hours earlier, Flour
noy had watched John
Arwood of Miami line up five
fives on the bottom row of the
five-reel machine for a
$250,000 jackpot.
Bottled message
worked
CLEVELAND — Third-
grader Kristi Gregg found an
Irish pen pal through the old
message-in-a-bottle trick.
In August 1981, the 8-year-
old suburban South Euclid
girl was on a cruise ship in the
St. Lawrence River, going
from Montreal to New York,
when she and about 20 other
children tossed bottles into
the river.
The note, which was placed
in a liquor bottle and sealed
with duct tape, included Kris
ti’s name, address and tele
phone number.
On Nov. 19, she got a re
sponse from Sharon Parle of
Logan’s Sherd, Carne Broad
way, Ireland.
Sharon, 11, told Kristi she
found the bottle while walking
along a beach at Carnsore
Point, which is on the St.
George’s Channel leading to
the Irish Sea.
The president of Bahama
Cruise Lines Inc., of New
York, Julio del Valle, said this
was the first time in the four
years the cruise has been run
that there has been a reply to
such a message.
Body recovered from MX
test cell, others submerged
United Press International
TULLAHOMA, Penn. — Re
scue workers wearing asbestos
suits and air tanks found one
body in the burned under
ground shaft of an MX missile
testing cell, but search efforts
for three other victims were de
layed Monday until water could
be pumped from the 250-foot-
deep shaft.
Authorities said the body of
John P. Sikes, an employee of
Sverdrup Technology Inc.,
headquartered in St. Louis, was
recovered at 10:50 p.m. Sunday.
It was identified by a co-worker
and taken to a funeral home in
Manchester, Tenn.
After finding Sikes’ body, the
three recovery team members
left the underground cell and
pumping began.
A spokesman said the search
could not continue for the three
other victims of Saturday’s rock
et fuel explosion until water,
pumped into the shaft to exting
uish the fire, could be removed.
The bodies of Dona J. Roy,
57, Murray L. Tauscher, 49, and
Arthur Totten, 48, all em
ployees of Aerojet General
Corp., were believed at the bot
tom of the huge cell.

Hemingway-authored
Soviet dispatch found
United Press International
CHIGAGO — A 1938 dis
patch written by Ernest Hem
ingway for the Soviet newspaper
Pravda while he was covering
the Spanish Civil War has been
found by a professor of history
from the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology.
The copyright manuscript,
appearing in Monday’s editions
of the Chicago Tribune and dis
tributed by the Tribune Com
pany Syndicate, was originally
published in Russian on Aug. 1,
1938, by Pravda.
The professor, William B.
Watson, said in an accompany
ing article that he found the
four-page dispatch in the Hem
ingway Collection at the John F.
Kennedy Library in Boston last
summer.
He traced its authenticity to a
microfilm of the newspaper
Pravda.
“During the last 15 months I
saw murder done in Spain by the
facist invaders,” the dispatch be-
gins.
“Murder is different than
war. Men can hate war and be
opposed to it, yet become accus
tomed to it as a way of life when
it is fought to defend your coun
try against an invader and for
your right to live and work as a
free man.”
Watson also discovered a tele
gram sent to Hemingway on
July 23, 1938, by M.J. Olgin, the
American correspondent of
Pravda, asking him to write a
1,500 word article on the “bar
barism of facist interventionists
in Spain” for a special anti-war
issue of Pravda scheduled for
publication Aug. 1.
A note from Hemingway
scribbled on the back of the tele
gram read, “Will airmail Chica
go. Regards' to Kolzov. Greet
ings, Hemingway.”
The dispatch vividly describes
a variety olTombing raids whose
targets were civilians.
“When they shell the tele
phone building in Madrid it is all
right because it is a military ob
jective. When they shell gun
positions and observation posts
that is war. If the shells fall too
long or too short that is war too.
But when they shell the city in
discriminately in the middle of
the night to try to kill civilians in
their beds it is murder,” the
manuscript said.
