TEHRAN, Iran — (UP)— Three U.S. military mission planes joined Iranian troops and police today in a desperate air and ground operation to rescue a pretty American woman kidnapped by bandits who killed her husband and another American man. There were indications she is still alive.
Vague and fragmentary reports reaching Tehran, 800 miles northwest of the town of Iranshahr where the attack took place, said the kidnapped American woman left a trail of torn bits of paper. American officials said they believed the bandits would hold her for ransom.
Thursday, March 28, 1957
The attack took place Sunday. Kevin M. Carroll, 37, of Issaquah, Wash., and Brewster A. Wilson, 35, of Portland, Ore., officials working on U.S. Point Four aid programs for Iran, were killed. Carroll's wife, Anita, was kidnapped. Two Iranian drivers also were killed.
Intramural Speaking Bout Gives Everybody A Chance
A chance to have fun, gain good experience and bring home a trophy will be made possible by the Forensic League and the department of speech and drama in the 10th annual Intramural Speaking Contest to be held April 17, 24, and May 1 in Green.
The contest is specifically for students who seldom have a chance to speak. All students are eligible except those who have been members of the Forensic League, the varsity debate team, or Delta Sigma Rho for more than one year. Also, any person who has won any division twice is ineligible in that division.
There will be separate men's and women's divisions for each event.
The individual winners of both divisions of each contest will receive engraved trophies. Second and third place winners will receive special certificates.
Two grand trophies, one for men and one for women, will be awarded the two houses, groups, or organizations accumulating the most points in the three contests. No more than four contestants may be entered in any one event by any one organization. The individuals who make up the four entries, however, may vary from contest to contest.
Entries for each contest may be made at any time prior to each contest. They are to be mailed, telephoned, or delivered to Prof. F. C. Buehler, speech office, 5. Green.
