Sultan to Corsica
After juggling, the Issue for several days
the' French deposed the Sultan of Morocco
and deported him and two of his sons to
the island of Corsica. Before this they had
resisted the efforts of the Berber tribesmen -who
previously had deprived Sultan Sidi
Mohammed Ben Youssef of his spiritual
authority over the Moslems of Morocco. The
Berber leader, Pasha El Glauoi of Marrakesh,
had tried at the same time to strip the
Sultan of his temporal powers. The French
declared they were obligated under the
treaty establishing the French Protectorate r
over the- kingdom to safeguard the person
of the Sultan. When the warlike Berbers
began to march on the capital at Rabat the
French ditched the Sultan, ostensibly to
prevent bloody warfare. Actually the Sultan
has been a thorn in the side of the French
because he refused to approve the French
orders for local reforms, demanding instead
a larger measure of independence.
The nationalist movement has been strong
in Morocco hut the Berbers oppose the na
tionalists and have backed up French rule.
This division among the population' has been
used by the French as an argument for con
tinuing the Procetorate. At the UN General
Assembly last fall when the Arab-Asian
group brought up the question of Morocco
and Tunis the French delegation stayed
out of the meeting in protest against consid
eration of the questions. At heart the French
probably welcome the excuse to deport the
Sultan perhaps they encouraged the Ber
ber uprising.'
It's Not the Postman "

somewhat embarrassed civil servant greets
ypu when you open the door and asks you It
you've paid your , income tax don't grab the
broom or the rolling pin. He can show his
credentials if you ask him to; and he prob
ably doesn't like the assignment any more
than you like to have him ask such a ques
tion. He is merely doing his duty on the
orders of the, Internal Revenue Commission
er T. Coleman Andrews.
' A law passed in 1928 requires the revenue
collectors to canvass their districts from
time to time to see if persons liable to a tax
have paid. This seems to be the first year
the mandate is being complied with literally.
The "new broom" in Washington evidently
is determined to sweep clean, especially
where there is tax delinquency.
If you have paid your tax your visitor will
tip his hat and go on down the street If
you haven't he may tarry a while to ask
"How come?" This check-up is spotted, not
universal; but it may prompt tardy folk to
pay up on their tax installments. Better

Change of Mind or Change of Pace
It is by no means clear whether the new
Department of the Interior power policy
represents a change of mind or change of
pace. Perhaps something of both. A change
of mind from the Ickes dream of general
public ownership of power systems; and a
change of pace in the way of heel-dragging
by the government on those projects lying
within Interior's definition of those which
the federal government should build.
Whatever the change it does illustrate that
governments may be fickle as well as in
dividuals. The New Deal invasion of the
power field of the Northwest pretty well .

tems, public and private, to meet their own

Now we may expect a scramble as dis

years; but jthere will have to be fresh
"starts" soon or we'll have a recurring

-Salem's streets are quite well marked, and
the new concrete sign posts are quite at
tractive. But still there is no street marker
at one of the busiest intersections, N. Capitol

and "one-way" signs; but none designating
the streets. A lone sign says "State Hos

sign department should install correct
markers there.
Why don't the Reds release Maj. Gen.

Editorial Comment
WE BORROWED THE LIMIT
The Oregon Highway commission has sold
another $32 million bond issue, making a total
of $72 million borrowed against the state's fu
ture revenues from gasoline taxes and motor
vehicle licenses. This is all that the legislature
authorized, and as we understand it the state
is now in hock to the full legal debt limit for
highway construction.
The first $40 million already has been
spent on paper, and contracts will be let for ex
penditure of the new bond money within the
near future, the commission says. It looks as
though all of this money is to be spent with
out providing one of Oregon's
is to be spent without providing one of Oregon's
greatest highway needs a four-lane road be
tween Salem and Portland. A large part of the
new money will go into the Wilsonville cutoff
expressway, but even that will not be com
pleted. And when it is finally finished, probably
with money borrowed against revenues of the
still-more-distant future, we will have an ex
press highway leading into the most congested
section of over-crowded west Portland.
This kind of planning may be good for west
Portland business but it is not furthering an
adequate system of state highways. Canby

Anglo-Iranian Oil Dispute Compromise
Would Be Fatal to Iran's New Regime
TV Declared to Be
I n Need of Writers
BY EVE STARR
NEW YORK TELETORIAL: Those big fat checks which the
networks are handing TV's top performers are fine and dandy. The
performers are probably worth it But "a performer is only as
good as his material."
A few of those fat checks should be waved
sr-rw5 in the general direction of the writers. Much of
X -the hackneyed material now fed to a suffering
TV audience is the direct result oi poor writing.
That's because, with few exceptions, good writ
ers are not being lured to TV the pay is better
, elsewhere.
The countless soap operas, poor comedies
land westerns are rapidly becoming a drug to
'most viewers. There's a crying need for good
writing but it wont come about on a mass
scale until the "hire-men" realize one simple
fact: "The play's the thing."
It is gratifying to note that two stations, WSAZ in Hunt
ington, West Virginia, and WBEN, in Buffalo, N; .Y., took a
firm stand against bringing horror scenes into homes by re
fusing film clips from the Paramount chiller, "War of the
Worlds."
The management of the Huntington stotion declared that
"a horror picture of this caliber is perhaps suited best to
theater entertainment where the vieicer has a widi latitude
of choice as to whether he will attend or not."
The management of the Buffalo station was more direct,
declaring that such scenes would scare children.
The action by these two stations may cause others to
stop and ponder. The parade of brutality, ranging from knif
ings to shootings, has been a constant irritation to most par
ents, who find themselves forced to police their children
and to take Valuable time to brief themselves on all TV pro
grams so as to protect their children from objectionable
shows. r
Actually, networks and local stations should realize the vast
influence of TV over young and impressionable minds and limit
entertainment containing horror elements and brutality to such
hours as when young people are in school. Or better yet elimin
ate this kind of material entirely (although this is probably too
much to hope for from the top brass in TV).

Associated Press News Analyst '
No word has come from Tehran
yet. beyond the known friendliness
of the Shah toward the West, to
indicate that the royalist coup holds
any great promise of settlement of
the Anglo-Irani an oil dispute.
All the evidence as we know it is
that the best; way the new regime
could kill itself aborning would be
for it to display any sign of com
promise athis point
There was some hope in British
and American circles that eventu
ally, if Iran's Internal affairs could
be improved somewhat, an atmos
phere would be created in which
there might be a settlement of Brit
ish claims to compensate for the
oil field expropriation. x In that
' event, the Western powers would
be disposed to help Iran get her oil
back on the market, although it
would mean; some pretty drastic
adjustments la the world oil indus
try, which has expanded in the
last two years to do without it
There was little or no hope, and
bo particular desire, for a return
of the British to the fields. Anglo
Iranian Oil Co. stock went up at
the news, presumably on the hope
of compensation rather than -return.
The company long ago turned,
its full operating interests else
where, i -.
The chief interest for. the mo
ment lay in whether the Irictors in
Wednesday fighting would be able
.to hold the position they have won,
and in so doing halt the slide of
Iran into the arms of Russia.
The chief worry lay in the fact
lhat during all of the hubbub noth
ing has been, heard from the Tudeh
.(Cornrnsnist) 'Party, which, al
though technically outlawed, has
been- described as the most co
hesrre political force in Iran
' It seemed : ta be lying back,
.'watching for a break.
. There was no tendency to under
estimate the remaining strength of
the forces of ousted Premier Mos
aadegh, and what might happen If
;they combined with the Tudeh, as
they have shown signs of doing in'
the past, for counterattack.
One of the volatile factors in the
situation was Ayatolla Kashani,
leader of a fanatical, nationalist
and murderous religious sect who
has walked first one wa and then
another, to further his own political
interests. At different times he has
worked both with and against Mos
sadegh, both with and against the
Communists, and for the moment
he supports the royalist coup. He
would hardly seem a dependable
ally.
The new regime seems to have
the army and the police. It has
heavy support from the northern
tribes, traditional foes of Commu
nism. But intrigue runs sharply
through all elements in Iran, mak
ing any lineup look like quicksilver.
None of them look like coopera
tion with the West though if the
Shah now chooses to use the sup
port which he only just learned be
has, some semblance of coopera
tion might be resumed officially
even if it didn't go very deep
among the people.
But even an entirely victorious
Shah could not restore the old con
tractual oil arrangement with
Britain. The best anyone can do
now is keep Russia out

THE GOOD-FOR-NOTHING, by
James Yaffe (Atlantic-Little,
Brown; $150).
Norman Kramer, over-worked,
over-conscientious, is bow
ed under the weight of troubles
. . his brother Leo's troubles.
Norman the elder, indeed
though only 32 the Elder of the
entire Jewish clan of Kramer,
whether the rich or only fairly
comfortable branch, has ap
pointed himself his brother's
keeper. He is the drudge. When
;he can't handle Leo, he has to
call in relatives, which serves
constantly to remind them of
'his drudgery. ,
At the very start of this novel,
Leo is in a jam. Playing cards
- at the club, he slipped one out
of his sleeve and got caught by
Manny Feldspan, who can have
him barred from all New York
dubs for life. Norman knows'
this isn't the first time, for there
have been hiked checks- and
other offenses, but since he still
feels Leo must be saved, he
appeals to wealthy, complacent
Uncle Myron, and once more
gets Leo off the hook
The family spares Norman
and spoils Leo. For good pa
tient Norman's sake they finally
cook up a scheme to marry the
good-for-nothing to rich Brenda
Goldhill from Omaha, Nebr. Ev
erybody is in on the game. Un

brothers' insipid mother, Leo
himself, everybody, that is ex
vcept Norman, and they all in
tend to conceal it from him.
There are scenes of recrimin
ation, with Norman tuning Leo
how blameworthy he is, and Leo
turning angry, then softening,
then softening Norman himselt
Norman tries to shame' him oat
of the marriage, even thinks of
telling the sordid story. to
Brenda.
There are ingenious switches
of mood, and a deft treatment
of incident I like Yaffe fa the
light moments which seem to
come naturally; when he's seri
ous, tha wheels creak.
1. What is wrong with this
sentence? "In so far as I know,
that is the lady who you are
seeking."
2. What is the correct pronun
ciation of "forbade"?
3. Which one of these words
is misspelled? Delicasy, hypoc
risy, autopsy, fantasy.
4. What does the word "con
comitant" (noun) mean?
5. What is a word beginning
with os that means "exclusion
by general consent from com
mon privileges"?
ANSWERS
1. Omit "in." and say, "So far
as 1 know, that is the woman
whom you are seeking." 2. Pro
nounce the a as in bad, not as in
aid. 3. Delicacy. 4. That which
