Doyle yesterday with two of her four children, asking that her divorced husband, Les ter T. Bolin, 32, truck driver, help feed them. They were receiving public assistance, she said.f Bolin was not in the court room. She Waits in Vain Mrs. Bolin waited with Barbara, 3, and Susan, 2, while Judge Doyle completed his calendar call.

Bolin still had not appeared. At the time of their divorce last March, her hus band was ordered to pay $200 a month alimony and child support, and the arrear age had run into, hundreds of dollars, she said. Last December Bolin was found in contempt of coyrt because he was behind in payments. At that time Judge Doyle suspended a five-day jail sen tence to give him time to catch up financially. He gave the truckman until yester day.

Bolin had visited the chil dren the two small girls, and the boys, Donald, 5, and Lester, 6 on Sunday. "The last thing he said was, 'Uooq-Dy, see you in court," Mrs. Bolin told the judge.

Gerald De La died with three bullets in his chest George Rodriguez saved his own life by falling to the ground and feigning death after a bullet struck his right arm. General Hospital doctors operated yesterday to remove the slug. The kidnaping, according to Lt. Al Etzel, came after Castro decided the De La and Rodriguez boys were part of a crowd of young gang members harassing him at the Jewel Theater, 3817 Whittier Blvd.

Self Defense On the theater program was a twin bill: "Teenage Frankenstein" and "Blood of Dracula." On Feb. 6, Castro fired a 32-caliber pistol at a 17-year- old theater patron, Elias Al- varado of 3773 Princeton during a theater altercation. The bullet was deflected by a Yo-cent crucifix Alvarado was wearing. -No charges were filed against Castro because the theater manager said the usher had fired in self-defense after the other boy pulled a knife. 'Given Bad Time Castro told detectives yes terday that the Feb.

6 shooting led to the Sunday night killing. "Ever since that other time," Castro said, "the White Fence gang has been giving me a bad time. They've been pushing me around at the theater. They were doing it again Sunday."

Dropped into the headquarters of the Blinded Veterans of Southern California, a branch of a national organization you don't hear very much about, for a chat with C.

C. Carlson, the service officer. He was a marine in Nicaragua in 1931 and con- tracted tuberculosis in the jungle which, in 1952, led to his blindness. In civilian life he was a railroad fireman and a legislative representative for the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, experience that stands him in good stead for the job he's doing. 4 SAID there are about 800 members of the national organization and 103 in Southern California, of an estimated 600 blind veterans in this area.

CarlsoTMias run into a number of cases where a blind veteran, made retiring arid skittish by his handicap, didn't know what benefits he was eligible for. Carlson, working with a sighted secretary, concentrates on typically veteran problems without attempt-, ing to supplant assistance offered by other agencies for the blind.

One of the services offered by the group, which operates on a financial shoestring, is a $3500 revolving loan fund for members. Several have financed newsstands and other enterprises with small loans from the fund. ALL OF last year's $11,200 operating budget was raised by various projects undertaken by the organization, and that's the way Carlson wants it It's hard to keep patronizing sympathy at a distance when dealing with blind veterans, but that's the way they want it. Carlson made that clear. now, the group is launching a sale of Flags and aluminum flagpoles.

It's a rig that can be screwed onto a building to display the Colors conveniently and well. Of the $5 price, $2.47 goes for materials, 25 cents for assembly, 90 cents to the salesman -and the remainder ($1.38) to the organization. I Jhink it's a double bargain. "But look," said Carlson, "if you put anything in the' paper don't say we're trying to sell them on the sympathy angle. We want to pay our own way.

We think we've, got a good product at a good price. We don't want anything for nothing. So, don't put any sob'stuff in the paper." Okay, Carlson. I didn't.
