India gives assurance that the re maining U. - S. captives in China will be "released within the week. If that is done the t Geneva talks may go on to consider other phases of the dispute in the Far East. , At the moment," too, affairs in Europe are quiescent, in ! the afterglow of the summit conference at 'Geneva. In New York the U.N. subcommittee on disarmament! is pondering proposals on reducing the armament burden; and in the capitals of the Big Fpur, diplomats are doing homework in anticipation of the talks at foreign minister level now set for some time in ucioDer. "The present boiling and bubbling of the global caldron is in the Mediterranean area. Sharp clashes along the Gaza- line between Israel and Egypt brought these two countries to the point of renewing hostilities,, but the . United. Nations supervisory team constrained the two to accept its order for cease-fire. (This would be merely a local supplement to . the general truce agreement obtained by the first U.N. commission hi 1949, which has been breached many times in sporadic raids and attacks.)

A very grave situation exists also in North Africa where France is beleaguered by the forces of nationalism in Morocco and now also in Algeria. Premier Faure has obtained cabinet approval of his plan to switch again the- resident general of Morocco. Gilbert Grandval, who was named to succeed M.

A vicious tangle of strife has prevailed in Morocco , between the nationalist-Arabs and the Freneh colons arid the French government, also be tween the Arabs 'and the Berbers. Next step ' in the French plan to bring a semblance of peace to Morocco will be the shelving of the sultan, who was shoved in at Berber insis tence to replace the former sultan now in exile in Madagascar. Such is the bitterness that has been engendered there it is doubt ful if these changes will satisfy the nation- ... . j. m.-. HM W. WW. au .

They may be somewhat milder and less ruthless than the French police serving there who have been under J control of-the colons, but it is only in degree. Naked force is what the French are relying on chiefly to preserve their grip on North Africa, though nowthey are supplementing force with policy measures which they hope will succeed so the military may be reduced. A sideshow to the Mediterranean troubles has been the flareup in Sudan where the natives want both -the British and the Egyp tians to leave them alone. The upshot j there probably will be some measure of control by Egypt, but with the Sudanese managing their -own affairs pretty much as they want .to. As Father Divine used to say, "Peace, it's wonderful." But people seem to be shooting the doves of peace somewliere most of the time. . . . - ' t . High Bids for Portland State The appropriation of $850,000 for a new building at Portland State fell $89,000 short of covering the cost according to the bids of contractors received by th'e State Board of Higher Education." The board is asking the State Emergency Board "to supplement the appropriation by the necessary sum. Other wise it will be necessary to cut down the building,. dropping it one floor to four. It seems the part of wisdom to complete the .building as planned. In view of the high cost of the ground fpur stories is not enough for an urban type college! Moreover, the prospect of steady increase in Portland ; State's enrollment " makes the additional space imperative. In fact the next legislature probably will have to provide for another building there. Now that Portland State is a legitimate member of the family of higher . institutions of learning it is entitled to equal treatment with the older "children." The first report from the big new flattop, USS Forrestal launched Monday was that the ship "handles beautifully." Wednesday came the flash that the bearings on two of the four propeller shafts had burned out and the ship was limping back to Newport News. , A bat flew aboard the first night out, and the superstitious may blame the bat for the mishap. The ship has been on a trial run to test out its machinery,' and while the burn ing out of bearings gave it a poor start, after a repair job and further trials the Forrestal will be ready to join the fleet, as the largest aircraft carrier afloat - - Piggyback is spreading to ocean shipping. Fpr years barges have shifted railroad freight cars across water.-Now American-Hawaiian Steamship Co. is building ships for the inter coastal trade which will be designed to move truck trailers loaded with, freight, just as railroad flat cars now are carrying them on land.

In the Moslem fashion, we sat on divans around a low table, mutton from a big plate in the. center. Of the six men present, the three most impressive were -Bouabid, "Ben-Barka and Majoub Seddik. j I Bouabid, a lawyer, is generally ,regarded as the No 1 man I in the Nationalist movement here. He is very thin, with, an intense face, mocking eyes and on air of authority. Ben-Barka is the party's theoretician, or idea man. He is a mathematics professor,, intelligent and likeable he looks a little like a smaller edition of Vice-President Nixon. i Seddik looks, by contrast, like a " professional rerolatioaary, which is what he is. Unlike Bono bid aad Ben-Barka, who are pro ducts of the small Moroccan middle class, Majoab Seddik was a illiterate railway worker who climbed ta the too of the illegal Moroeeaa 'labor movement by Sheer fore aad assie.

They bad, of course, much In common. All three were ready to risk everything for the move ment. All three ' had already spent months and years in jail. And the experience had left its mark on all three men, but es pecially on Majoub Seddik. He showed scars on the 4ops of his hands, administered, he said, by 'the beatings 4he "me thode baignoire," bathtub me thod. The bathtub method, as Majoub Seddik described it, is very sim ple. The police tied him on a plank, - with his head hanging down over one end, and then put the plank on a sawhorse. There was a bathtub filled with dirty water under his head. When ever he gave the wrong answer to a question, or no answer at all,' the plank was tipped so that his bead immersed in the bath tub. A policeman with a stop watch gave the signM to tip him back again just short of the drowning point. When Majonb Seddik had fin ished his description of the bath tub method, there was a short silence around the table. Then Bouabid and Ben-Barka began talking about the attitude of the Moroccan Nationalists to the French. The Nationalist leaders knew, they said, that Morocco had to have French technical help, French capital, French political support There was no question at all of pushing the French out of Morocco, or destroying French interests. Moroccans wanted only the 'right to run the affairs of their own country. When Bouabid and Ben-Barka said these things, they sounded sincere. Majoub Seddik said aotalag.

In former years nearly all Fair-bound traffic from. the north came down Portland Road and reached the fairgroundsvia Lana Ave. Which caused some dandy traffic jams. Now, however, if that approach becomes bottle necked traffic can be turned onto the By-Pass north of Salem and can reach. the fairgrounds via Market street and South 17th or 18th streets. A new gate has been placed at S. 17th St., to provide additional parking space for nearly 1,000 cars. Fairground parking space now holds 18.0Q0 cars, and on peak days is none too much room. Which brings up another future headache, which Sentrol won't solve for Fair officials namely what" to do with cars as Fairs get bigger and, parking space doesn't ... .

No sooner had he labeled it Mr. Scorpion than the bottle was swarming with a couple of dozen little multi-legged mon sters. So now Plunkett knows that, although scorpions will bite almost anything, they are pretty close-mouthed about some things ... 10 Yean ' Ago , Sept. 1, 14S ; The army cancelled orders ban ning individuals of Japanese des cent from tha west coast.

They could not strike. They could not even join a union he j himself was not a Communist, he said, but he had first joined a Commu nist union because only t)ie Com munists were then doing anything for the workers. And I always, there were the police, searching workers as they left their work, beating them for nothing, jailing mem xor a wora. There was or so It seemed to this reportera bitterness and a haired in Majonb Seddik, not only toward the French bat toward the whole economic and political system, that was aot 'la Bonabid and Ben-Barka. Aad this suggests the asters of the real choice that confronts the French. . At present, the vast j majority of the Nationalist leaders are of the same stripe as Bouabid and Ben-Barka products of the mid dle class, moderate men, revol utionaries -only by force of cir cumstance. If such men are giv en positions of real authority, and a sense of pride and parti cipation, the essential French interests in this tortured country may well be preserved. The alternative is the bathtub method applied country-wide a campaign of the mast ruthless suppression. Ia the end, this is sure to produce a whole erop of Majoab Seddiks. Ia the end. it could only meaa a terrible fight to tbe finish, which the French could aever really win. i ' .' i If the French were the cyni cal and logical people they were supposed to be, instead of the sentimental and illogical people they actually are. there is no doubt which way they would choose. Meanwhile, they have been incapable of choosing at all, and it is already very late. i (Copyrif ht 1955. New York (Herald Tribune. Inc.) of combating communism while upholding the traditions of western society. Columnist David Lawrence also has teed off against the Fund report, asserting that Ford money is being used to weaken the defenders of America. Dr. Hutchins will feel that his la bors are ill-appreciated by the pundits of the press. The report itself is indeed pale. The Fund directors seem content with objective studies rather than formulating con structive programs to protect, civil liberties both from sub versives and from fearful pa triots. However, one . report made possible by a grant of the Fund to the Bar of the City of New York for a study of the security program as applied to government employes, recently made public, has served to open the eyes -of the public to the shortcomings of this program. Research was done by Adam Yarominsky of the 'District of Columbia bar. He made a case study of some 300 employes who had been under scrutiny by -loyalty 'boards or personnel, which showed how lacking the program has been in protecting the ordinary rights and privi leges of American citizens. Whether the Fund for the Re public will remain satisfied with doing spadework' to uncover facts, I do not know. Dr. Hutch widened, and- the "treatment accorded suspected persons in congressional investigations has not always been that content- plated by the Sixth amend ment. Then the report adds: "The Fund for the Republic .takes no position on these mat ters beyond affirming' its faith in the principles upon which our government was founded." The Fund, according to Dr. Oregon's Diggosf Annual FamilyxFuti Event! CelelDratiiig Oregon's SO111 I 1 n irrw ir- u u Ui :J uuiuiu Your Greatest Family Fin Bargain! Hutchins believes the American people must take a position on them, and the '"object of the Fund is to help supply the re quisite information. ' . Columnist Dorothy Thomp son is - quick to criticise the Hutchins report. The Fund, she says has brought forth "a timid, rather pinkish mouse." She says: "The squeamish document exhibits a lack both of intel lectual clarity and civil cour age." Admitting her own doubts as to the effectiveness of con gressional investigating com mittees as means to combat communism, she confesses her disappointment that the Fund for the Republic has not sug gested a more effective means Council. Subjects to be studied have been Communists in Amer ica, the loyalty-security pro-. gram, freedom of expression in educational institutions, racial discrimination, etc. On the general subject of civil liberties Dr. Hutchins says it has been thrown into "unusual disorder' by the Cold War. "A political party has been identi fied with the 'enemy, and those associated with it have "come under suspicion as an imminent danger to the state." Through use of guilt by association the range of suspects has been ins, as guest speaker for tbe American Society of Newspaper Editors last spring certainly pulled no punches in telling edi tors how crummy a job they are doing. Perhaps Miss Thompson's criticism will stir him and the Fund directors into more posi tive and aggressive action in de fense of civil liberties wherever and however they are assailed. With independence and $14 mil lion they should be able to ac complish, something. 4 BAILEY DUOS Combined Spectacul la cristiani ago n na i Jlar BijHime . . ... U fi fillU 0 H i SI80 AND 8 P.M.
