Newspaper Page TextGrace Kelly People Grace Kelly CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Grace Kelly, who left a Hollywood acting career 21 years ago to become a real-life princess, is reportedly considering a return to the stage. Princess Grace of Monaco is booked for two dates this spring at Harvard University’s Loeb Drama Center for readings from Shakespeare and possibly other writers. Douglas Schwalbe, Loeb’s managing director, said negotiations are not complete but he added that per formances have been scheduled March 16 and 17. Richard Pasco of England’s Royal Shakespeare Company will appear with Princess Grace, Schwalbe said. Performances are also planned at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh a week earlier and at Princeton University’s McCarter Theater after the company plays here, he said. Spider Sabich‘s parents ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — The parents of Claudine Longet’s slain lover, Spider Sabich, have taken Dist. Atty. Frank Tucker to court in an effort to gain release of the prosecutor’s files on the entertainer. But Tucker told Judge J. E. Devilbiss Wednesday it would not be in the public interest to release them. He said the files consisted of memos from Miss Longet’s January trial and his impressions of her diary, which was not used as evidence in her trial. Tucker said he had told the Sabiches at first they could have the files, but changed his mind when he read the applicable law. Sabich, a professional skier, was shot to death more than a year ago in the home he shared with Miss Longet. The singer was convicted in January of criminally negligent homicide and served 30 days in jail. Elizabeth Ray WASHINGTON (AP) — “It’s a scary, freaky feeling” to be told people are asking about your death, Elizabeth Ray says in scotching rumors of her demise. Miss Ray, the one-time congressional aide who ended former Rep. Wayne Hays’ career by revealing she was paid $14,000 in tax money to be Hays’ mistress, was the subject of rumors in Los Angeles about her death Wed nesday. Reporters contacted her attorney, who contacted Miss Ray. She said she believed the rumor was started by an angry former boyfriend. Spencer W. Kimball SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Mormon Church President Spencer W. Kimball, 82, was reported in good condition and resting comfortably today after being hospitalized for breathing difficulties. He was taken by ambulance to LDS Hospital on Wed nesday after becoming ill during a church Board of Education meeting, church spokesman Wendell Ashton said. “The diagnostic testing is continuing, and no serious health problems have been determined,” said Dr. Ernest L. Wilkinson in a statement released by the church. Ethiopia, Somalia break relations NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Diplomats in Nairobi see Ethi opia’s break in diplomatic re lations with Somalia as the pre lude to a declaration of war or an effort to pressure the Krem lin into cutting off arms to the Somalis. A broadcast from Addis Ababa Wednesday night said Ethiopia’s ruling military coun cil had ordered Somali diplo mats to leave the country within 48 hours. The Ethiopians claim that So mali army troops are fighting alongside the insurgents in southeastern Ethiopia who are fighting to unite the Ogaden area with Somalia. Most diplo mats in Nairobi believe the claim is true. The Somalis have denied any direct participation although they acknowledge training and arming the 3,000 to 6,000 guer rillas of the Western Somali Liberation Front, who are eth nic Somali tribesmen. The Somalis claim that Cuba and Czechoslovakia are helping the Ethiopian troops, a claim Addis Ababa denies. Diplomats in Nairobi said So malia might welcome a declar ation of war so it could fight the Ethiopians openly. The rebels claim they control /B*' rUr , Elizabeth Ray 95 per cent of the Ogaden. A hard fight is reported under way for the town of Jijiga, in the northern part of the territory. Jijiga and the two nearby towns of Harar and Diredawa are reported to be the last Ethiopian holdings in the disputed area. Diplomats said Ethiopia’s of ficial break with Somalia could force the Soviet Union to make a final choice between its two East African clients. These sources believe the Russians will back their newer and more populous ally, Ethiopia, even though it would mean the loss of the new Soviet naval base in the Somali port of Berbera. Moscow has been supplying arms to Somalia and training its troops since 1960, when Ethiopia was still ruled by proWestern Emperor Haile Selassie. But the leftist officers who overthrew the emperor have cut their military ties with the United States and turned to Moscow instead. The Russians have publicly called on both sides to come to terms. But they have reportedly cut back arms supplies to Somalia, and reports of Somali President Mohammed Siad Barre’s visit to Moscow last week indicated he was unable to get a promise of more help. Plastic surgery for cancer victims defended CHICAGO (AP) — Women who have had breast cancer operations should not be stigmatized for wanting plastic surgery to give them a new breast rather than a prosthesis made of cloth or plastic, says an American Cancer Society official. “It seems grossly unfair that once she has lost her breast, there is a stigma attached to wanting to get it back,” Francine E. Timothy told the society’s second national conference on human values and cancer on Wednesday. “Whether a woman can have breast reconstruction is entirely up to the surgeon, but she should at least be allowed to want one without being judged,” said Mrs. Timothy, who is director of the society’s Reach to Recovery Program and who has had a breast removed. The agency is designed to help women who have had mastectomies, or surgical removal of the breast. “For some women, the hope of an eventual (breast) I a I M CHAIR & OTTOMAN • RECLINER • 3 TABLES M I I SPACIOUS 88” SOFA!

Many woman have no idea to whom they could ask questions about a reconstruction, and often don’t ask at all out of timidity. It is the fear of being judged vain or frivolous that keeps some women from looking into the possibilities, she said. Artificial breasts, made of cloth and plastic, are worn by thousands of women who have lost a breast to cancer. Instead of prosthesis, many women wish to have plastic surgery to give them a new breast, and they have many — Griffin Daily News Thursday, September 8,1977 Page 5 reasons for the desire, said Mrs. Timothy, who said she has not had plastic surgery. “Imagine, each one of you, that every single morning you must attach an extra thing to your body, a thing of considerable weight which you can’t forget, ever, during the day because it must constantly be checked,” Mrs. Timothy said. “In my interviews with operated women, I found that young women care desperately about being obliged to live with only one breast, but I found that married women care as much, and single women care as much and older women care as much.” “Perhaps,” Mrs. Timothy continued, “breast recon struction is almost more important to an older woman. A mastectomy is particularly hard on a woman who is already having trouble accepting the fact of growing older.”
