May 28, 1960: Paul Coates’ cat ladies, Beth Lawrence and her daughter Betty,  have new troubles. TV host Jack Linkletter was interviewing them (and their 13 cats) in Bronson Canyon Park when their white Persian cat named Prince Baba escaped from one of the show’s assistants and fled into the wild.  The cat ladies are still looking for husbands, btw.

And on the jump, Japan welcomes former Cpl. Masashi Ito and Pfc. Bunzo Minagawa, who hid on Guam for 16 years after the U.S. captured the island in fierce fighting in 1944.
