HARTMAN , former planning officer, staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff MU 7 4321 FÖÄ BUILT • IN During the past week we have had two attempted coups in Iraq. The second one has apparently succeeded. Indications are that its leaders are pro-Nasser. With Syria seasonally wavering between independence and Pan Arabism, President Nasser has good reason to hope for an expansion of his United Arab Republic. Any consolidation of Nasser’s power will further aggravate their relationship with Israel, the United States and other powers. Any disruption of the status quo is bound to create problems and do damage to the interests of other nations, but it is hard to see how eventual consolidation of the Arab states wil’ fail to benefit them and, in the long run, be beneficial to the stability of the world as a whole. Turning from the Middle East, another area almost as difficult to generalize is the East Indies. Formerly dominated by the Brit ish and Dutch, it is now the pri mary preserve of President Su karno of Indonesia. The Republic of Malaysia, recently formed, and the Philippines share Indonesia’s domination of the area. President Sukarno has very ef fectively played the United States off against Russia and received an enormous amount of material aid and political support from both. The Indonesians as indivi duals have probably gained nothing and remain in one of the most hopeless positions of any peoples in the world, this despite the region’s enormous mineral wealth. The island of Java comprises one-fifteenth of the area of Indo nesia, but has over half of the population. There are over 1000 people per square mile and 55,- 000,000 people altogether on Java, whose area is only slightly over half that of Oregon. Indonesia is made up of many, many races and they speak many languages. About 80 per cent of the people were engaged in agri culture, with rice the primary diet. Except for the reduction of ores and refining of oil, there is no heavy industry as we know it. The Dutch were credited by many for a wonderful colonizing ef fort in the Indies. Actually they did no colonizing. They were ex ploiting the raw materials of the INHERITANCE Breed With Ua PH 1-0674 MU 7-407« PHIL RICHARD8 A SON Western Herd Builder* FANCHER’S AUTO PARTS and Machine Shop Service 110 W.

After two or three years, most were eager to return to Holland. Dutch naval personnel were credited with 2 years towards re tirement for each year spent in the area. Basically Indonesia is econom ically complementary to both Japan and Australia. It was the primary goal of Japan in World War II. The solution to the problems of the East Indies is not in sight. Some type of economic, followed by political, confederation would appear to be most desirable. As a footnote, the submarine to which I was attached put into Tjil- atjap, Java in 1942 for a“quickie” refit prior to the Battle of the Java Sea. A gang of 17 coolies were set aboard to help clean up the superstructure. Their average weight probably did not exceed 80 pounds per man. One American seaman with one hand behind his back could have accomplished more than the whole lot. Sandy Bluff QUESTION: I thought that only women could start their social security benefits at age 62. Is this correct"’ ANSWER: No. Since the 1961 Amendments to the Social Security Act, men as well as women can begin re ceiving benefits at age 62. How ever, the amount of your month ly benefit is permanently reduced if you take your payments before age 65--to take account of the longer period over which you will be collecting them. QUESTION: I work as a domestic, but I am over 65 and receiving my social security checks each month. Should my employer take out for social security as long as I don’t earn over $1200 a year? ANSWER: A person’s age or the fact that she is receiving social security payments does not affect the pay ment of social security tax. As long as you earn $50 or more in a calendar quarter doing domestic work for a single employer, your employer is required todeductand pay social security tax. Of course, if you earn over $1200 per year while receiving social security payments, it will affect the amount of these payments and must be re ported to the Social Security Ad ministration. This does not affect the deductions made from your pay for social security tax, however. QUESTION: I plan to visit my sister for three months and wonder if I can have my social security checks sent to her address while I am there? ANSWER: Yes. Notify your social secur- ity office in writing of your new address and your check will be for warded to your sister’s home. When you return home, you should fill out another change of address card so your check can be sent to your regular address. Mrs. Rose Brook died in a nurs ing home in Portland, Nov. 12. She and her husband, the late Ed Brook came to this area in 1907. They purchased 20 acres of land on the Haughlum road, and raised their family. The oldest son, Jer ome, owned the place after his father’s passing. They built a home on property where Mrs. Brooks and youngest son Albert lived for a number of years, moving to Port land later. Roy Brook now lives on the place, making three generations having lived in the same place, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wilken- son is having Mr. Wilkenson’s brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. LETTER Ray Wilkenson of Depoe Bay, also their daughter Helen of Portland, as dinner guests on Sunday.

Angeline Hennek, nurse Corps recruiter who visited Gresham last week. (Outlook photo) The Army Nurse Corps has copied ideas from the ROTC pro gram for college men to helpmeet a severe shortage of Nurses and the plan is working very well, an Army nurse counselor said during a visit to Gresham last week. The Army has always obtained most of its new officers from the ranks of the ROTC, officer cand idates who take military training in college and receive some pay for it. In return they serve in the armed forces for a certain length of time upon graduation. The Army Nurse Corps is find ing out the same system, with some changes, can help fill the many vacant spots in their own ranks, according to Captain An geline Hennek. Capt. Hennek, who travels throughout the Northwest from her Seattle office, told about the plan in an interview in the office of Gresham Army recruiter, Master Sgt. Mel Smith. “Girls who are taking nursing training in a four-year college course are eligible to join the program at the start of their jun- ior year,” she said. “They will receive tuition and books plus $231 a month for room and board for their last two years of college. Depending on the amount of tuition charged, this aid adds up to be tween $8000 and $10,000. And they are commissioned officers during their last six month in school.’’ Girls attending a school of nurs ing, normally a three-year course, may join the program at the start of the final year and their bene fits are very similar. “One advantage is that student nurses signed up on the Nurse Corps program don’t have to attend drills such as the ROTC men do,’’ smiled the attractive recruiter. “In return for having all their expenses paid for the last year or two of nursing training, the nurses must go on active duty. This means a three-year hitch for two years of aid and a two- year enlistment in exchange for a single year’s help. “Of course the women (and men, toe, since last spring) who sign up for the program must meet fairly rigid qualifications as they’ll be Army officers upon grad uation,” she added. “The authorized strength of the Army Nurse Corps is 5500 nurses and we are now down to about 3300,” Capt. Hennek pointed out. “So you can see how much we need nurses.” On her one-day visit toGresham, the career nurse (she’s been in the service eight years) kept to a busy schedule. She had a long lunch with the nurses and doctors of the Gresham General Hospital staff, spoke to girls at Marycrest high school in Parkrose and talked to several local girls about the college-aid plan. Capt. Hennek, like many of the service, has nurses who join the I enjoyed her tour rs of duty over- seas--” Korea and elsewhere in the Far East, so far.” She’s hoping she’ll soon receive traveling orders tothe most prized overseas post--Europe.
