Persons Trapped By Snows Near Elko Rescued ELKO (AP) Between 30 and 50 persons have been rescued after spending Sunday night trapped in the Ruby Marshes Recreation Area near Elko by a whirling snow storm, the highway department said today. Officials said one of two roads out of the area through Harrison Pass was buried in several feet of snow. The other, through Secret Pass, was covered with 18-20 inches of snow.

The highway tried to clear the roads Sunday with plows, but wind drifted the snow faster than the machines could handle it. The roads were cleared when the winds quit on Monday. Highway officials said none of the marooned persons had to spend the night in his car. They said all were able to find their way to nearby ranches and other dwellings.

Temperatures generally were normal levels, and the Weather Bureau said there were no major storms. Below or near zero readings were reported in only a few states. Temperatures were in the teens in much of the north central region and in some parts of northern New England. The mercury dropped to freezing in the higher elevations across Utah and Nevada with near zero in some areas. It was -3 Bryce Canyon, Utah, -1 at Zuni, N.M.

He usually carried a friends said, but had never pistol. known to use it until he darted between Oswald's police escorts and shot him once in the abdomen. Ruby, friends and enemies alike agreed, was a man who wanted to attain "class," a word he used frequently in describing people who impressed him. George Senator, who shared an Oak Cliff apartment with Ruby when the Oswald killing occurred, said Ruby never took any part in politics.

"I doubt if he ever voted much," said. But when Ruby was asked whey he killed Oswald, he said it was to spare Mrs. John F. Kennedy the anguish of having to go back to Dallas for Oswald's murder trial. He wanted peace for Mrs.

Kennedy, he said. One of his sisters said, "Jack died peacefully." She said she had visited Ruby at 9 a.m. and at that time he was sleeping peacefully. Mrs. Grant, Earl Ruby and Dallas lawyer Phil Burleson had visited him.

After Ruby made his statement to the Warren Commission representatives, there was still doubt in many minds. When books and periodicals began dwelling on the point, and some said flatly that Ruby knew Oswald, that Ruby was a friend of Tippit and that the assassination was planned by a huge group of conspirators, Ruby asked for the second lie dedector test. Then only over the last weekend, it was revealed that one of Ruby's last acts was to record another statement denying any conspiracy. Earl Ruby, said Gertz, took a small recorder into the hospital room for Jack to use and tell his story the story he died with. A Dallas jury sentenced Ruby to death after a stormy, monthlong trial before Dist.

Judge Joe B. Brown in March 1964. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the conviction last October. A new trial was scheduled for Wichita Fallas, tentatively in 1 February, but from the first day of his hospitalization there had been doubt that Ruby ever again would see a courtroom. Dallas Dist.

Atty. Henry Wade, who prosectued Ruby in his first trial, had indicated he would again seek the death penalty. But Phil Burleson of Dallas and Gertz both had said that the most Ruby could get if convicted again would be five years in prison. The original trial and subsequent developments, like the assassination of Kennedy, were among the most tempestuous in Wheelbarrow Ride Settles Election Bet Lou Bergeron had a halfmile wheelbarrow push and four years to think about making any more election bets. The 61 year old Teamster business agent bet a wheelbarrow ride against the election chances of Republican Paul Laxalt, inaugurated Monday as Nevada's 22nd governor.

Dairyman Dick Southerland and bar owner Tilly Botti took him up on it and he had to push them down the white line on U. S. Highway 395 through the middle of Carson City at high noon. Southerland rode from the Carson City Nugget to the State Capitol and Botti rode back. They waved to friends along the way.

"I'm 61 and I'm in pretty good shape," said Bergeron. ANNUAL LIQUIDATION SALE DISCONTINUED LINES OFF Everything Must Go SPORT COATS $20 $30 $40 SUITS $40 Reg. NOW SUITS $150. $8195 DIRTY SHIRTS 8.00 Reg. $2.00 Reg.

Walter E. Sanford Walter E. Sanford, 76, died Sunday in a Reno hospital while in Reno visiting his son, George Sanford of Sparks. Sanford, a resident of North Sacramento, retired seven years ago after working 44 years for a bread company in Southern California. He was a member of the U.S.

Record Number Of Viet Cong Defect in 1966 (Continued from Page 1) the Chieu Hoi program is more than 48,000, the spokesman said. Despite the claim of 20,242 of Communist forces in South defections in 1966, the strength on Vietnam has remained throughout the year at about 280,000 men by U.S.

official estimates. The Communists have filled their ranks through recruitment and infiltration from North Vietnam. Desertions from the South Vietnamese armed forces during 1965 totalled 113,000 and for the first half of 1966 reached at 67,000. But allied officials contend the desertions in the last half of 1966 will show a decline because of new stiff penalties and improvement in pay and conditions of service. A South Vietnamese spokesman reported that a Viet Cong force of about 35 men crossed into South Vietnam from Cambodia today and abducted 15 Vietnamese civilians from a border hamlet.

The spokesman said the Viet Cong entered the community of Go Dau Ha, in Tay Ninh Province, just before daybreak, kidnaped the Vietnamese from an open-air market and withrew across Cambodian border. Over the weekend, the Cambodian government charged that U.S. and South. Vietnamese helicopters and light planes carrying ground troops attacked the village of Ba 'Thu just inside Cambodia, killed three or four persons and abducted 12. The U.S.

command denied any knowledge of such an incident. Vietnamese headquarters also reported a Viet Cong attack on an outpost 48 miles south-southwest of Saigon in which a squad of militiamen took heavy casualties. In the air war, the long-range B52 bombers struck Monday night at a Communist headquarters area in Quang Tin, one of the northern coastal provinces of South Vietnam.
