Israel Accuses Jordan of Attack
By Eliav Simon
JERUSALEM, Israel—(UPI)—Israel charged that Jordanian troops yesterday attacked one of its patrols on the border of divided Jerusalem, killing one member and wounding three others.
The Israelis did not return the fire, officials said. Israel immediately protested to the United Nations Truce Commission and U.N. observers investigated the incident, the first along the city border in four years.
The border between Israel and Jordan has divided Jerusalem since 1949 and both sides patrol the two-mile frontier.
Israeli officials said the Jordanians opened fire on a routine patrol in the Musara section of the city, a no-man's land surrounded by downtown slums and the shell-scarred remains of houses hit in the 1948 war between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Troop reinforcements were sent to the scene, but they did not fire. They removed the wounded and cordoned
off the area for the U.N. investigation.
Although Israel has more than 250 miles of frontier with Jordan, its border clashes with Syria and Egypt have been far more frequent in recent years.
Jerusalem was divided into Israeli and Jordanian sectors in the 1949 armistice agreement ending the Palestine War. Israel has the larger and newer western part of the city and Jordan the old city, which contains such Christian shrines as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Gethsemane Church, and the Mount of Olives.
The city border is opened at Themandelbaum Gate during the Christmas and eastern holidays to permit Christian Pilgrims to visit both parts of the city.
Both nations have rejected U.N. proposals to internationalize the city. Israel proclaimed Jerusalem its capital in 1950 and Jordan at one time said Jerusalem was its capital as well as Amman.
Is It Or Is It Not The Real Mona Lisa?
Bv Elvezio Bianchi
ROME — (UPI) — Who is the enigmatically smiling lady whose portrait by Leonardo da Vinci has intrigued millions of visitors of the Paris Louvre, one of the world's great museums?
Is she really Mona Lisa as claimed by art historian Giorgio Vasari, who lived shortly after da Vinci, or a young princess of the House of Savoy, or a southern Italian heroine, as claimed by some other art scholars?
An allocation of 15 million line ($24,000) has just been voted by the government Agency for the Development of Southern Italy to solve the mystery.
The portrait of the woman with the mysterious smile was taken to France, according to tradition, by da Vinci himself when he went to the court of King Francis I in 1516.
MANY SOUTHERN Italian art scholars claim they hold enough evidence to support the theory that the Mena Lisa painted by da Vinci was Costanza Davalos, a Neapolitan gentlewoman of Spanish extraction.
Vasari in his art history said the woman painted by the versatile master was Mona Lisa, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, hence the name "La Gioconda" by which the portrait is known to Italians.
SCHOLARS WHO refuse to recognize the portrait as that of Mona Lisa say she wears a black veil on her hair, indicating she was a widow. Mona Lisa was widowed at 49, an age much older than that of the woman in the painting, the scholars claim.
Years ago an art student from Turin, Carlo Predretti, claimed the portrait was that of 19-year-old Princess Filiberta of Savoy, the niece of Pope Leo X and aunt of King Francis I of France.
Pedretti claimed da Vinci must have painted the portrait between 1515 and 1516, shortly after the death of Filiberta's husband, Giuliano de Medici, and before da Vinci went to the court of King Francis.
Filiberta also went to stay with King Francis and probably took the portrait with her, the student said.
THE THEORY that the smiling woman could be Costanza Davalos is not new. But it never earned much credence among the experts.
Costanza was a fiery, warlike character who took up arms to defend the isle of Ischia. To many critics she could not be the mild-looking woman portrayed.

What new evidence to support the Costanza theory has been lately uncovered by southern Italian scholars is not yet known. But the evidence must be somewhat convincing if the government agency has decided to take 15 million lire from much needed social perjors to try to corroborate it.

Carolyn Eymann Ends Quiet Term
By Steve Clark
With the naming of Lynn Pedicord of Wamego as the Sunflower Girls' State Governor of 1962, a yearlong reign described as a "very quiet peaceful term" ended for Carolyn Eymann of Atchison.
"Nothing disastrous happened," says the coal-black haired, attractive Atchison lass who will enroll at the University of Kansas this fall in liberal arts.
JUST A YEAR ago Miss Eymann spent a hectic week campaigning for governor and then presiding over Girls' State. "I figured it up this year, and I only got 24 hours of sleep the whole week," she said.
Ironically Miss Eymann was never in student government and her first political venture was at Girls' State. Once she tossed her into the political ring, however, she became adept at campaigning. Although the Nationalist Party swept the majority of state offices, Miss Eymann, a Federalist, was able to win the gubernatorial race.
She conceded that this might prepare her for being a KU student this fall, but that she was "dead tired" when she arrived home.
THE EX-GOVERNOR lists three main tactics for campaigning. "Perhaps the best thing is to circulate," she says. "You should meet as many people as you can."
The second is to "be sincere in what you're working for" and the third is "to be able to express how you feel to the girls."
Miss Eymann was in demand as a public speaker once she returned to Atchison, speaking before various civic groups. On June 22-23 she will attend and speak before the State Department meeting. She also attended the Boys' State Governor Ball, a tradition for all Girls' State governors.
GIRLS STATE experiences were relived several times during the past school year as Miss Eymann renewed friendships at KU's Leadership Training day and at music contests. She plays a flute and was in band and orchestra.
Her other high school activities included choir, cheerleading, being a drum majorete and performing in school operettas. She was in the junior play and played the Wildcat in the operetta "Wildcat."
Miss Eymann is employed by the Atchison Daily Globe and writes society news in addition to being a roving reporter—a job that suits a girl who likes to meet people.
LANSING — (UPI) — When Michigan warns motorists of bear crossings, it isn't fooling. During construction of Interstate 75, a bear came out one night and walked through fresh concrete. By morning, it was too late to erase the tracks. The track-marked stretch of highway near Indian River is marked with a sign reading "bear crossing."

Edwin Stene Starts Work in Jakarta
Carolyn Eymann
Dr. Edwin O. Stene, professor of political science at the University of Kansas, this week began a three-month appointment as consultant on organization and management for the Indonesian government at Jakarta.
He will work in the Institute o. Public Administration, assisting in an executive development program established by the University of Indiana and the United States Agency for International Development.
The appointment is similar to those Dr. Stene had in 1954-55 and 1957-58, when he served with the Institute of Public Administration in the University of the Philippines at Manila.
The mayor of zebu village does not wear a silk hat.
At KU Dr. Stene heads a city manager's program which he started in 1948 under a $50,000 Carnegie Corporation grant. He is the author of numerous books and articles on finance and administration in state and local governments.
Candidate Is Optimistic
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Paul L. Aylward, Democratic candidate for a Kansas seat in the Senate, said yesterday Kansas Democrats have their best chance in years to elect a Senator this year.
With six days left before the filing deadline, he is so far unopposed for the Democratic nomination for a four-year unexpired Senate term. Kansas also elects a Senator next November for a regular, six-year term.
Although Kansas has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since the 1930s, Alyward said he thought the chances for a Democratic victory this year were as good as they have ever been — particularly for the Senate seat he is seeking.
He declined to predict who his opponent will be. The Republicans have a major contest indicated between Sen. James P. Pearson, who now holds the seat by appointment, and former Gov. Edward F. Arn in their primary Aug. 7.
Aylward, 54, a central Kansas lawyer and farmer, said the big issue in his state is that "Kansas needs a democrat to represent it in the Senate," for the benefit of both farmers and of industrial development.
"I think the farmers feel that it is in their best interest to have Democrats represent them, especially with a Democratic administration in power for at least six more years," he said.
Playboy Lounge Held Up
WICHITA—(UPI)—Two bandits, both armed, held up employees and half a dozen patrons at the Playboy Lounge here last night. Police said the gunmen took about $185 from the cash register and $65 from the billfolds of several airmen.
