He weighed a mere nine pounds and suffered from pneumonia, extreme malnutrition and dehydration. Doctors gave the Hershbergers little hope that he would survive.

Jason joined the family the following July, when he was a year old. Although he, too, suffered from malnutrition, he was a stronger child and had no other serious problems. Jamie, now 3, and Jason, are Vietnamese children adopted by the Hershbergers. The two orphans were brought to this country while Americans still were fighing in the Vietnam war. Both now are healthy, active boys.

Probably neither would have survived had they remained in Vietnam, says Mrs. Hershberger Jamie because of his health, ahd Jason because he would have been abandoned or mistreated because his father was black. The ragedy, she says, is the thousands of children like them who remain in the crowded, desolate orphanages in Saigon and the surrounding provinces. Mrs. Hershberger, a teacher at Oracle, went to Saigon last August with Mrs.

William Johnson of San Manuel to escort some babies back to the United States for Friends of All Children, a Colorado adoption agency. Although pleased at how well-kept and well staffed some of the orhhanages were in Saigon, they were appalled at the conditions of those in the nearby provinces. "I just came out crying," said Mrs. Hershberger. "Some of those kids would be better off just to die; the conditions are so horrible." In one orphanage, she said, tiny babies are kept in beds with bare wooden slats no mattresses or coverings.

Nearly all of the children appeared to be poorly nourished and many had open sores, she said. Medications are at a premium even in the best-kept orphanages, Mrs. Hershberger said. In the provincial orphanages, where only one or two nuns care for some 50 babies, little individual attention can be given and the weaker ones lie in their cribs day and night. She said there is no crying, no emotion and very little will to survive.

While in Saigon, Mrs. Hershberger and Mrs. Johnson went to an orphanage to visit Sammy, a Vietnamese boy that the Johnsons had chosen to adopt. As they arranged to take Sammy out for a "day on the town," the head of the orphanage asked if they also would take Penny, a shy six-year-old who had been abandoned by her foster parents. The women spent two days with two children, taking them to lunch, to the marketplace and riding in a bicyclepowered cab.

After they returned to Oracle, the Hershbergers began making arrangements to adopt Penny. After a great deal of red tape and hassles about releasing her, the adoption finally was approved. Sammy arrived at the Johnson home about a month ago, and the Hersybergers looked forward to the day Penny would join them. When word came of the first U.S. babylift out of the war-torn country, they were hopeful that she would be on an early flight.

Penny was put on the first plane but removed shortly before it took off because the craft was too crowded. That plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all but about 50 of the children aboard. The Hershbergers had been told that Penny was on the plane, and for two weeks they tried to determine whether she was among the survivors. They learned of her being taken off the plane this weekend. Now they arg renewing their efforts to bring her here.

Robert N. Tohill, 21, of Catalina, has been sentenced to five years in the Arizona State Prison for the armed robbery of a West Side convenience market in January. Superior Court Judge William E. Druke handed down the sentence yesterday. Tohill and a companion, Glenn E.

Von Dohlin, 23, also of Catalina, were charged with the Jan. 14 robbery of $78 from a U-Totem store at 902 W. Miracle Mile. Von Dohlin received a fiveyear prison sentence last week for his part in the robbery, FUNERAL NOTICES Citizen Photo Waiting for Penny Jerry and Mary Hershberger pose with their children, Brandy, 11; Shannon, Jamie, and Jason, The boys are Vietnamese orphans adopted by the couple. The Hershbergers have been attempting since last August to arrange to adopt a third war orphan, Penny, whom Mrs.

Hershberger met during a trip to Saigon. Hershberger is an inspector for Magma Co. and his wife is a teacher at Oracle. Public Records, Selected pair Sammy (left) and Penny, during an outing away from their Vietnamese orphanage, were chosen for adoption. Sammy arrived in San Manuel about a month ago to begin a new life with the William Johnsons, but Penny, who was at the last minute taken off a United States plane that crashed, remains somewhere in Vietnam.

The Jerry Hershbergers, of Oracle, are waiting to adopt Penny. Movie 'Jolson' portrayer dies LOS ANGELES (AP) Larry Parks, an actor whose film career ground to a halt after he admitted membership in the Communist party, has died in his home in suburban Studio City after an apparent heart attack. He was 60. Parks, who died yesterday, was nominated for an Academy Award for his lead role in "The Jolson Story," in which Al Jolson sang the songs that Parks lip-synched on film. A sequel, "Jolson Sings Again," was equally successful, but Parks' movie career went into an eclipse after 1951 when he admitted before the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities that he had been a Communist party member from 1941 to 1945.

Parks also gave the panel names of fellow party members in the entertainment industry. Fischer-Karpov talks arranged MANILA (UPI) Bobby Fischer today accepted an offer by world chess champion Anatoly Karpov to meet and discuss terms for a match under rules negotiated by the two players, a Filipino chess official said.
