Four Men and A Girl to Attempt Drift Across Med By GODFREY ANDERSON PARIS (AP)—Four men and a girl make an Anglo-American attempt to drift across the Mediterranean from France to North Africa on a homemade raft this month. The idea first struck Richard Miller, 27-year-old American leader of the group, whose family lives at 139 North Long Avenue, Chicago, Ill. If the crew of the Kon-Tiki could get across the Pacific Ocean on a raft, he figured the Mediterranean should be easy. That night he started dreaming rafts. Then they met Michael Jones, a former R.A.F. pilot officer, in a Paris bar. Jones insisted on going along. They soon added Philadelphia-born Don Kindler, 26, of Jesseps, Md., and Spanish-born José de Tejada, 28, now of Princeton University. That made up the four men. The girl came later. "I am a nurse," explained slim brunette Muriel Grand, 20, of Hull, Yorks., "and I came to Paris on holiday. I stayed looking for a job but failed to find one. Then I found a raft." The raft, which consists of stout planks bolted on air-filled drums, was built in three weeks on an island up the river seven miles north of Paris. PHILADELPHIA—HEART AND APPENDIX REVIEW—Mrs. Elenore Weiler, 31-year-old housewife, looked an X-ray film held by Dr. Norman Rudin in a host here today after she had her appendix removed and operation disclosed that her heart was on the right and the appendix on the left, both reversal of the no position. Physicians said Mrs. Weiler was recover normally. Gunman Riddles Picnicking Pa Then Turns Weapon on Himself CHICAGO. (AP)—A young man crying, "I love Sally," darted suddenly from the bushes in Grant park yesterday and sprayed bullets at a young couple listening to music. His bullets killed the girl and critically wounded her escort. Letter Found Police said a letter fouled the killer's pocket apparently ten by him, said in part: "I have loved you comp and deeply but you do not me . . . Oh to make a choice." brunette Muriel Grand, 20, of Hull, Yorks., "and I came to Paris on holiday. I stayed looking for a job but failed to find one. Then I found a raft." The raft, which consists of stout planks bolted on air-filled drums, was built in three weeks on an island up the river seven miles north of Paris. It measures 30 feet by 41 and has a square cabin about eight feet by six and six feet high amidships. The raft later will be fitted with a mast and a single sail. The launching, which cost expilot Jones a ducking, was not carried out without difficulty. Amidst cheers and the crack of a bottle of champagne, the raft was named "Ken-Tooki" by a minor French movie star. Skipper Dick Miller, a former U.S. Navy petty officer, said the trip across the Mediterranean from Marseilles was expected to last from four to six weeks. He wasn't quite sure where they would land but guessed it would be Africa. Food and water for the trip will be stored between the planking in the stern of the craft. "But we're adding a net," said Muriel cautiously. "so we shan't lose the food if the bottom drops out of the raft." The cabin will be equipped with an oil lantern and an alcohol stove. There will be a small radio receiver and plenty of books. As a last precaution there are two inflatable rubber rafts. Eat California fruit for health! CHICAGO. (P)—A young man crying, "I love Sally," darted suddenly from the bushes in Grant park yesterday and sprayed bullets at a young couple listening to music. His bullets killed the girl and critically wounded her escort. Then the man embraced the girl — apparently a stranger to him—as she was dying on the ground and shot himself to death. Hundreds Witness The lightning action took place in the midst of hundreds of downtown office workers spending their lunch hour in the park, some listening to the rehearsal of the Gran Park Symphony orchestra in the big park band shell. The victims were Patricia Kahler, 17, killed by two bullets fired into her head, and Herbert A. Hoffman, 17, wounded critically in the neck, chest and back. Both were employed in the nearby offices of the Standard Oil Co. Identification The dead gunman had a hotel receipt in his pocket which bore the name of R. Walker who recently stayed at the Griswold hotel in Detroit. However, police said FBI fingerprints showed the killer was Bernard Richardson, who had a police record dating back to 1944, with arrests in several cities throughout the country. The FBI report did not show his age or address. Hoffman told police he did not know the assailant and believed Miss Kahler had never seen him before. Letter Found Police said a letter found the killer's pocket apparently ten by him, said in part: "I have loved you comp and deeply but you do not me . . . Oh to make a choice tween Bonny and Carol Holt would be difficult. Behold love for you . . . both strong death, for death will not seep or keep us apart." Rules Revised For Citrus Pack SACRAMENTO (CNS) — State department of Agriculture yesterday adopted new rules packing citrus fruits for ship outside the state. The rules instate the necessity of packing cific numbers and sizes of oranges in full-size crates, cutting them and increasing the efficiency the operation. Containers still are required be packed full, however, so the fruit will not move in the area. The amendments also permit packing or oranges, grapefruit and lemons in the half-size box without counting or sizing fruit. DRUNK DRIVER Henry Frederick Reinking, Santa Ana real estate man, 1914 N. Main st., was arrested Santa Ana police at 3:15 a.m. day on a charge of drunk driving and being drunk. He was lodged in the county jail. Time for a rest... time for Pepsi!
