Rescue team
tries again
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
(UPI) — A police and civilian
rescue team Monday began a
second attempt to recover the
frozen body of an American
woman climber from the
Western Hemisphere’s highest
mountain.
The official news agency
Telam said the seven-man team
will try to retrieve the body of
Jeanette Johnson, 30, a school
teacher from Denver, Colo.,
who died in January, 1973 while
trying to scale the 22,834-foot
Mt. Aconcagua, 685 miles west
of Buenos Aires.
Her body was first spotted in
the Andes last February.
- Miss Johnson was part of an
eight member team of climbers
from the Portland Ore., An
zamas Club. The group never
reached the mountain top.
’Vandals
hit home
I of judge
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPI)
— Vandals have ransacked the
home of Federal Appeals Judge
Anthony M. Kennedy, cutting
off the heads of Christmas
display statuettes of wise men
and angels, authorities reported
Monday.
Kennedy recently refused to
reduce the $350,000 bail of
Manson cultist Lynette From
me, convicted of the attempted
assassination of President
Ford. Kennedy also could be on
the panel which would hear
Miss Fromme’s appeal.
Police said there was no
evidence to indicate the vandal
ism was the work of followers
of mass killer Charles Manson.
However, he said the possibility
has not been ruled out.
No one has been arrested in
connection with the ransacking,
which occurred some time
during the weekend when
Kennedy and his wife were out
of town.
> Officers said every room of
’ the house had been ransacked
! and a hatchet was found on
Kennedy’s bed. They said
• religious objects were de
stroyed, the heads of three wise
* men in a Christmas display
r were cut off and the heads
I three glass angels also were
broken off.

She got
early
Christmas
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (UPI)
— Hilda Popejoy, a crippled 85-
year-old widow, lost her home
because she could not pay the «
taxes and was left with no
place to live, no money in her
purse and sl3 in food stamps.
But residents of this central
Kansas town gave Mrs. Pope
joy an early Christmas present
Monday — the home she lost in ,
the tax sale.
A fund drive topped the SBOO
needed to give the woman her
home back. •
“We can’t thank people
enough,” said Dick Reser,
executive director of the South
Hutchinson Housing Authority.
“The response has been tre
mendous. We had $692 already
on Saturday and haven’t •
finished opening all of the
mail.”
Mrs. Popejoy’s plight came to
the attention of the public last •
week when she went to a low
rent highrise building to ask for
a place to live. At that time, t
Reser said, Mrs. Popejoy had
no money in her purse and only
sl3 in food stamps.
The real estate firm which »
bought the house agreed to give
Mrs. Popejoy a life deed to the
the property if the SBOO the firm
paid for the property could be •
raised.
