Augusf 18, 1961 at DEATH Rodeo (Continued from page one) onds was good for fourth place. The Fall River bulldogging champion also repeated his first place performance of Wednesday by riding to another first in the finals in the saddle bronc Don Hebb was followed by Jerry Chaffee, Topeka. in second place. Two Lyon County performers stayed on the bucking Brahma bulls to finish first and second in the bull riding event. Darrell Hare of Emporia turned in one of the most exciting rides of the night for his first place purse, Only a few points behind Hare for second place was Jim Houck of Bushong, a June graduate of Kansas State University.

Darrell Hare came out of the unknown to ride off with his -first place award, as he was not among the winners in the Wednesday night event. Jim Houck, however, repeated his second place performance of Wednesday. Ronnie Oakerson of Kansas City, grabbed third place in the bull riding after finishing first Wednesday, and Neil Olson of Salina was fourth. In a woolly bareback bronc event, Leon Spencer of Enid, basted the field to win first place money. Virgil Baker of Miami, and Jerry Chaffee, Topeka, stayed glued to chestnut broncs for second and third place.

Jim Cooper, 720 Sunnyslope and an employe of Anderson Cattle Company, rode fourth after off with third place Wednesday. Larry Magnus, Cedarvale, equalled his first place effort Wednesday of 10.8 seconds in the calf roping event to win the top purse in that event Thursday. Bill Follis, Miami, and Ronnie Love, an Emporia performer, beat out the second and third place calf roping winners of Wednesday to capture those two places last night with times of 12.1 and 12.5 seconds. Two cowboys turned in times of 12.6 seconds to tie for fourth place. They were Claude Inman of Delaware, and Everett Logan of Wichita.

Inman's fourth place time of 12.6 was three-tenths of a second behind his Wednesday time of 12.3. which won him the second place purse. Mrs. Jerry Taylor, wife of the Fair's rodeo announcer, equaled her fourth place Wednesday performance in the barrel races. Other cowgirls who rode churning quarter horses for prize money on the twisting barrel course were Clarice Richardson, Lawrence, first; Ginger Countryman, El Dorado, second; and Betty Boyd, Americus, third.

-it Cubans (Continued from pg. one) racks at the naval station one of the Cuban seamen appeared to go berserk. He- broke away from the group and led officers on a two- block chase before he was caught. The man, identified as Ramon Tocorante, 41, was taken to a U.S. Public Health Service hospital for observation.

Since the freighter's top officers were among those seeking asylum, it was assumed new officers would be sent from Cuba to take her on her way. The de is owned by the Cuban government and operated by the Vacuba Shipping line. The 323-foot vessel was built by Consolidated Steel Corp. of Wilmington, in 1945 and named the Coastal Charger. She was renamed in 1948 after her transfer to Cuban registry.

The baked goods are many and tempting, but no fun to look at: There are several arrangements the tne sit growing harder and of velvety coxcombs fit for a Spanish mantilla, a few perfect cosmos varying from deep Burgundy to pale watercolor orchid, some small neat rosy asters, a single deep purple dahlia, several orchid-pink surprise lilies standing like faded staler each day, and how can you write an elegy to a cake when the fair officials won't let you taste it?

Opposite these, growing around the other side of the door, are a deep purple morning-glory begonia, yellow and crimson roses under moist glass, a leopard spotted white lily with yellow petal markings, tubs coleus and geraniums blooming in tubs, and a hothouse of flowering cacti and bloomless foliage plants.

The two loveliest examples of needlework are hung side by side; a cloudsoft souffle knit sweater, white with garlands of multi-colored flowers about its yoke; and, the "-sweepstakes winner, a soft white angora stole, tiered and loosely tied. Among the aprons are one in lavendar cross- stitched into a window box full of pansies, and another in black and white gingham with playing card motifs added to its hem in red and black cross A novel example of cutwork is found in an iris design in jungle flower colors worked on a huck towel, one of those old-fashioned man-sized hand towels.

The sewing exhibit is small but impressive. We especially liked a polished cotton cocktail dress with a harem skirt, a gently scooped neck and a perfect self-rose at the wait to match, the aqua cabbage roses strewn about the skirt; a turquoise cotton shirtwaist made of Scandinavian tapestry and pleated from the high yoke to the hem; and a greyed lavender tweed suit with a short notched jacket. A number of local spare-time artists have entered their best works: a tall lustre bottle in blurred rainbow colors with a gold teardrop stopper; an assymetric triangular ashtray, with taupy smooth and pebbly surfaces; and a pseudo-cutwork cermaic lamp- base.

The final division, another new one, is millinery. Four of the most intriguing were a leopard pillbox with a huge amber pin oh its brow; a stiff pink net with a bridemaids bouquet on top; a purple green blue beehive that no longer can be bought, with piano string and net; and a a sort of tree of life growing 's length and breadth and the date 1855 dimly discernible in the lower left hand corner. Other small band fashioned of golden- brown pheasant feathers. The exhibit halls will be open until 4 p.m. Saturday.

P.B. Berlin (Continued from pg. one) was not possible to determine if the engineers intended to cover long stretches of the border or only certain spots difficult to guard. Western authorities estimated about 150 persons daily were still outwitting the Communists. Allied sources also said between 10 and 20 members of the East German guard force have deserted to the West this week with their weapons.

They include members of the people's police, members of the workers' militia and at least one soldier of the East German army. Many of the escapees bolted through or over the iron and wire fence flung across the city. A number swam the streams and canals that criss-cross the frontier. Brandt charged in Bonn that the Communists are erecting a "sort of Great Wall of China" to keep the East Germans in and demanded that the United Nations deal with the situation as a "flagrant violation of human rights." Adenauer is being opposed by Brandt in West Germany's Sept. 17 election.

While the East German Communists boasted of a victory in the first round of the new Berlin crisis, talk in the West of tough reprisals tapered off. Instead, officials in Washington and London contended that the Reds put themselves on the defensive by closing the border through Berlin and that the time is ripe for negotiations. In a new demonstration of Western reluctance to force a showdown, West German Defense Minister Franz Joseph Strauss told a news conference in Munich that "the time has come to be calm and patient and to keep one's head cool." As yet there was no public response from Moscow to the stiff allied notes Thursday protesting the closing of the Berlin border and demanding that Moscow "put an end to these illegal measures." The Russians are expected to reject the protest. West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, who has been clamoring for reprisals against the new Communist restrictions, approved the tone of the the right language," he said. But he made plain he still expected more action.

Orce measure advocated by Brandt it seizure of the West Ber- lin portion of the Communist- operated city elevated railway. He was to discuss this today with the three Allied commandants in West Berlin, but they were expected to throw cold water on the proposal. The East Germans already have threatened to blockade West Berlin again if the railway is seized.
