Humphrey Bogart’s
Weight Is Down But
He’s ‘Feeling/Great’
HOLLYWOOD, lM—Humphrey
Bogart isn’t taking on any heavy
weights these days, but he says
his weight is stabilizing and he is
“feeling great” after his 10-month
fight against illness.
The actor underwent surgery
on his esophagus last March.
Some time thereafter he disclosed
that a malignancy was removed
in the operation. Last Nov. 26 he
went back to the hospital ior
treatment to relieve pressure on
a nerve, caused by scar tissue re
sulting from the previous surgery.
“I weigh 120 pounds so I’m
holding steady, even though I’m
about 35 pounds underweight,”
he said yesterday. He weighed
the same last March.
His wife, actress Lauren Ba
call, agreed that Bogey was doing
“pretty well, considering every
thing.”
Bogart, told of reports pub
lished in New York that he was
down to 80 pounds, under heavy
sedation and in a deep coma much
of the time, said:
“Coma? Do I sound like I’m in
a coma? I’m feeling great. Where
do they get such dope? They must
be taking it instead of getting it.”

‘Enemy Agents’
Tried to Sneak
To Russian Shore
MOSCOW, —'Russia’s navy
newspaper, Soviet Fleet, reported
yesterday Soviet coast guard units
captured three groups of “enemy
agents” attempting to sneak
ashore on Soviet territory.
The story failed to say where
or when the incidents occurred,
the nationality of the agents or
give the disposition of the cases.
The dispatch said two groups
were apprehended under the pro
tecting guns of “foreign war
ships.” The third group, it said,
carried out its attempt from a
military transport.
Soviet Fleet gave this account:
The first two groups of agents,
disguised as fishermen, neared
the shore in fishing smacks. When
Soviet patrols approached, two
nearby foreign warships flashed
powerful searchlights “in an at- '
tempt totolind the'border guards,”
tout the warships retreated when
another Soviet patrol boat ap
proached.
In the other incident, the paper
said, a foreign military transport
| was captured while “heading full
l speed for the Soviet shore.” It
added the skipper of the ship
claimed to have lost his way, but
—as in the case of the fishing
smacks—incriminating evidence
was found aboard.
