NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—"I don't think Louis would have wanted it this way," said trumpeter Teddy Riley.
Riley had played final "Taps" for Louis "Satchel" Armstrong during the 1970s and 1980s, for Armstrong Sunday in New Orleans, Armstrong's hometown
The funeral had gone sour, due to pressing thousands who wanted to see and perhaps march among Oppima and Onward brass bands.
Riley played "Taps" on the first episode of Armstrong and played in the allays of Storyville, the New Orleans red district at the turn of the century.
"I think he should have had a traditional New Orleans type jazz funeral. We hoped it would be better, but ..." Riley shook his head.

About a year and a half ago, a group of Lawrence citizens and three University of Kansas men met to discuss drug abuse shame among junior high school youth in Lawrence. At this first meeting, it was recognized that the men had gotten worse. It was also found that there was no one agency available to this age group that were equipped to handle the crimes associated with drug abuse.
The fifth proposal was to act as a responsible referral agent for the organization's help. Lastly, by acquiring headcount, first five goals Headquarters would also determine the definite scope of challenge problems in our community.
As a result of this meeting, extensive research was done to accurately assess the need for a new machine that the mittee then gathered the information they had obtained into its design center which was specifically oriented toward Lawrence's junior and senior high school.
Thus began "Headquarters". The concept of the center was started students and presented to the Outreach Commission of the First United Methodist Church in addition to probationary funding.
A Board of Directors was organized; it consisted of interested physicians, pharmacologists and experienced center staff members.
Third, the group behind Headquarters proposed to actively distribute drug abuse information means of speaking engagements, adult education, and education, and the old reliable "grapevine" so in-improving big school youth. Fourth, Headquarters would be set up for runaways so that youths would have an opportunity rather than going to a distant city.
Though Headquarters' success has been accented with relocations and financial shortages, it has accomplished a great deal. The reputation of the company as a source of help has spread rapidly through the community, and the switchboard operating on two

Headquarters has made progress in attaining its goals. Headquarters has also learned to actively look for help. Often staff members are called upon to assist with the care and their children. It has been found that in most cases not only do the staff, but so do their parents.
Board of Consultants,
What Headquarters needs now is people who want to share their special skills and interests with youth ... and of course, there is always use for money. For a new location, 1632 Kentucky, and they are in the process of doing a little remodeling.

Incident at the Greek's Hotel
two weeks before the coup d'etat the government placed the capiul under a nine o'clock curfew. The streets were patrolled by armored cars and by jeeps with machine-guns mounted in back, and sealed off with tanks. A cordon of roadblocks diverted traffic away from the palace, and several hundred hand-picked troops stood guard within the walls. An injured officer kept waiting for a rumored attack, they were bored. During the day they played with the two royal elephants who wandered free over the lawn, fitted with cameras that shirts off beneath the palm trees. Most of the citizens, who had experienced martial law before, stayed home; but a few Americans continued to violate the laws. Back on the back to the base were killed in a taxi that tried to run a roadblock on Cong Le Street. Its driver already dead, the bungapshen Renault went through the city, skidded crazyly out of control, bucking under the impact of the bullets like an animal being hit and trailing wire like a string of entrails, and the soldiers continued to assault the base until caught fire. The army contained many Americans who were quartered in Saigon passed by the still occupied, blackened shell on their way to Tan Son Quan, who was deserted long before nine o'clock.
The flower stalls on a long, narrow island some fifteen feet out from the curb gave the street its name. Saigon always seemed covered by a cloud of flowers in this part of the city in this quarter of the city the fragrance of crushed flowers transformed the normal city stench into a strange aroma—a mixture of jasmine and urine, an odor rich with desire and disgust. On cool evenings, with a soft touch, that river, I could smell it in my room, lying heavy on the air like heat.
I lived at the time on the ground floor of a large apartment building on the Street of Flowers. The building was set back from the street at the end of a 20-foot wide walkway, so the drive there was a large metal gate, manned night and day by a middle-aged Indian. He had two children, a boy seven and a girl eight, who slept under the stairs while in the drive. Asleep, curled into each other for protection, they looked as pure and as vulnerable as delicate insects off them, when I came in late.
From the docks of Khan Huoi to the outskirts of the Rue Pasteur the shoplights flickered out and the wide crowds watched the crowds of people who resembled a retreat in their rush. Bargirs, who had waited all day for this perishous hour, lined up with the crowd and then, having parlayed anxiety into a profit, they hurried along the streets arm in arm with the temporary American lovers like commuters late last night. And when she had wound down like a giant generator, and in the great hush that fell over the darkened streets it seemed as though the crowd had passed through, marched on.
There were many shops and bars on both sides of the street, which ran four blocks from Tran Hung Dao Street to Tran Hang Tong. The street there was a hotel on each corner. One of these was a large, expensive place called the Majestic where many Americans had rooms. Across from it the Majestic had a house in down affair managed by an old Greek
named Theodore. He was in his sixties, a tall, thin man with a curly hair color and texture of parchment. His teeth were yellowed and awful and he chain-smoked cigarettes that he kept several girls who earned their living from
Three days after the taxi incident I came home a few minutes before nine and found the gate locked, with the Indian nowhere in sight. I yelled for him and then waited. Out in the street on their narrow island I looked up, and bundles of flowers lay rotting along the gutter. As I stood there
the male guests. I often took breakfast there.
Remembering Saigon When Diem Flew the Coup
By RICHARD CUNNINGHAM
battle jeep went slowly across the intersection at the corner. There were two white-uniformed special forces for the machine gun, and it disappeared I ran to the Greek's Hotel. He was standing in front of the door as I came up the steps.
"My young friend," he said, swapping the grill out. I slipped quickly past him and went into the lobby. He came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
There were two young girls behind the desk. One of them hooded her head at me and looked up the stairs. I shook my head, heading for the bar.
"May I join you?" I asked him.
There was an American dressed in civilian clothes sitting in the corner of the room. I asked the Greek to bring me a whiskey and went over to the man's
He looked up from a small magazine he had been reading and stared at me. "By all means, please look closely at him. He's smooth and pleasant, and he was around fifty years old. He had black hair, dark, expressionless button eyes and a nice smile about him was small except his hands, which were badly scarred. While we talked he occasionally marked something in the magazine with a penil.
He was a merchant seaman he told me, and he had been practically everywhere in the world. After I met him, he asked the Greek to bring me another. I asked the man if he would like something. "A pernod," he said, in that soft, bland voice. When the Greek had come and gone, man asked我 if I could get it.
I told him that either of the two girls behind the counter in the lobby would go upstairs with him.
He shook his head. "I had something younger in mind."
"What the hell," I said. "They can't be much over sixteen, seventeen. And they're clean."
He smiled for the first time, a tight, mirtiness little smile that had no effect on his smooth face "Years ago," he began, "you could purchase a girl, in China. Actually buy her from the store." He could do anything you wanted to her."
For a few seconds I wasn't sure I had understood him. Then I saw the table. It was full of pictures of naked women. He was becoming the man we men will see.
I loved with the idea of sending him to a fake address, in the hope that the people he would meet would be that stupid. While I was deciding whether or not to throw him out the door he got up and left. After a Greek came in and sat down with me.
"How do you like your countryman?" he asked me.
"You know him?"

"What will he do?"
tastes, no? "Why do you let him stay here?"
"Oh, yes. A man of very special tastes, no?"
"My young friend, I am not a moralist; I run a hotel."
"Tomorrow he will visit Dakow. An old woman will find him a girl. He has quite a lot of money."
I drank until I was drunk and then I took one of the girls in the lobby upopear. I walked in, didn't do anything. I kept picturing the Indian gatekeeper's daughter and the man locked together in some horrible enclosure before dawn the institution began.
Like Troy, Salaj fell from within. The soldiers deployed to protect the city turned their guns on it. During the battle, he pulled the elephants broke its fetters and crossed the lawn to the tall wrought-iron fence. Gone mad from the sound of the shells, he rose up on his hind legs and ran through the room to the terror into the night until the soldiers defending the palace had to destroy him. They grenaded him, blowing off his front legs and most of the face. He ran back across the room with flies and occasional dogs. This was during the dry season, and two days later when I drove by the palace they had locked black under the sun and I could smell it even at that distance.
