Twain enthusiasts lost
Boy hunt continues
HANNIBAL, Mo. —(UPI)—National Guardsmen and cave experts searched today for three boys, their heads filled with the spirit of adventure by Mark Twain, believed lost or trapped in caves that pock hills lining the Mississippi River.
Fear grew that the boys, missing since Wednesday afternoon, may be dead.
A 150-MAN MILITARY Police battalion was ordered to help with the search late Thursday night. The mazes of interconnecting tunnels lacing the dirt bluffs
already were being combed by five crack rescue teams from Missouri and Illinois.

received the National Association of the U.S. Army Award.
THE AMERICAN LEGION Military Excellence Award was given to Eric Petersen, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., senior, and Robert McNay, Sterling, Colo., junior.
The search was centered on Murphy cave but no one was sure in which of the myriad of caves and sink holes the boys, Joe Hoag, 13, his brother Bill, 11, and Edwin Craig Dowell, 14, had gone.
Christopher Stark, Bartlesville, Okla., freshman, received the American Legion Award for the Outstanding Freshman Rifle Team Member and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Outstanding Rifle Team Member Award.
The Scabbard and Blade Award was given to Bruce Groff, Topeka freshman and Michael Isom, Smith Center sophomore.
Two boys, Lynn Strube, 14, and John James, 13, told officials they had gone up to Murphy cave with the three missing lads but left them at or near the mouth of the maze of tunnels.
HANNIBAL POLICE said today they planned to circumvent a shale slide in Murphy cave by drilling down from the crown of the hill.
Police Chief Arlo Baldwin said there had been a cave-in of shale in Murphy cave between the time the boys disappeared Wednesday and Thursday night. He feared the boys may be trapped behind the shale or beneath it.
He termed drilling or blasting "a last resort."
DEBBIE HOAG, 16, eldest of the seven Hoag children still at home, said Thursday, "my brother Joey just loves to explore.
"He's read all those Mark Twain books."
Mrs. Hoag said Joe and Billy "came home all muddy about 9:30 or 10 o'clock Tuesday night after being up by Murphy cave.
"Their daddy and I told the boys they weren't to go back up to those caves," she said.
Psychiatrist advises peers to judge in kidney cases
DETROIT — (UPI)— An Iowa doctor Thursday asked the nation's psychiatrists to become judges of who shall live and who shall die in deciding which patients use life-giving artificial kidneys.
Dr. A. S. Norris, professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa, said, "in addition to prolonged life, we must also be concerned about the quality of life that can be obtained."
Norris spoke to the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, which today
wound up its convention with business meetings.
"But how much have we given
to those patients who do not develop obvious mental illnesses Who makes the best patient? Who uses his extended life most effectively?"
Five-thousand Americans die each year of kidney failure. It is too expensive to keep them all alive. Only one-tenth of those who suffer from terminal kidney malfunction can afford to live longer at an annual cost of $10,000 to $12,000 each.
Norris said that at some pioneering artificial kidney centers the patients are chosen by committees including medical men and laymen who consider sociological and economical factors in the final selections, as well as medical considerations.
"IF A PATIENT develops a chronic psychoses from his absolute dependence on an artificial kidney it is evidence we have given him little," Norris said.
The Iowa psychiatrist suggests mental and emotional capabilities also be examined in determining who shall receive the treatment—with emphasis on adaptability and mental resilience.
Hong Kong's youth stage Communist riot
HONG KONG —(UPI)—Thousands of Chinese youths went on a Communist Red Guard-type rampage in this British Crown Colony today, burning, looting and attacking police with flaming Motolotov cocktails.
But in the storm centered in Hong Kong's heavily populated Kowloon district there was no immediate way to pinpoint the casualty toll in the colony's second straight day of rioting.
First reports said many persons were injured, some seriously.
British officials also clamped a 6 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. curfew and closed schools in an attempt to break the rioting.
Authorities mobilized hundreds of riot police to keep the rioting crowds in check. The full British military garrison stood by for action.
Officials blamed the rioting on
In nearby Macao, Communist demonstrators defaced a picture of Queen Elizabeth II in the British consulate visa office in support of the rioting Hong Kong Chinese. Authorities in that Portuguese territory were forced to capitulate to a list of Feking demands earlier this year as a result of Communist inspired rioters and labor agitation similar to that now sweeping Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's two major Communist newspapers published blistering front-page editorials accusing British authorities of "blood suppression" and the governor, Sir David Trench, of "fascist atrocities."
Communist agitators sent from nextdoor Communist China. Some observers said the Communists were seeking to impose demands on authorities here as they did in Portuguese authorities in nearby Macao.
