Colonial officials said investiga tions and conservation of Gedi are now being planned by Prof. J. S. Kirkman, warden of Kenya's historical sites. "The city covers about a hun dred acres." according to colonial officer Antony Haler. "There are five mosques, a rul er's palace and a number of large houses, one of which might have been a school.

It is thought that Gedi may have been an Arab town because there were many built in the 12th cen tury when Arabs migrated from southern Arabia. But unlike all other cities in East Africa, Gedi is not on the sea coast. The Kenya government plans to take over the area as a na tional park. "There is a terrific I fascination about the place." an official said. "It could be made into a wonderful tourist attraction. It has never been established how the place originated or why it was deserted. It must have been deserted because of plague or pos sibly coastal raiders drove the inhabitants away. It may be 300 years old or possibly 3000. There are absolutely no records even of its existence today but we all know it is there off the beaten track, overgrown by jungle and an aura of mystery. ' Or Malayan? The Atlantean Research Center said all their available data indi cated that Gedi was a city of Malay origin. "We have records which show that traders from Malaya were going to East Africa in the yearj church. honesty threatens to touch off World War III. Joseph L. Wirthlin, first coun selor in the presiding bishopric's office, declared that mass dishon esty on an international level plagues relations between states. Wirthlin told 8000 Mormons in the tamed Salt Lake Tabernacle that the most recent outbreak of international dishonesty was dur ing the Nazi reign of Adolph Hit ler, but he said it remained In other countries now. Wirthlin said it originally spread from individual conduct, and he counseled the 1,000,000 Mormons to stamp out dishonesty from their personal lives. 3Yt Reumben Clark, Jr., first counselor to President George Al bert Smith, said too many persons were going to horse races and movies on Sundays instead of 1200. The curator of the museum in Nairobi has minutely described the pottery found in the ruins of Gedi .which provide evidence that the city was occupied by traders from the' East. The architecture indicates they were Mussulmans. They may have been Islamic but the fact that the city is not on the seasoast is contrary to Arab trad ers' practice," the Research Cen ter said. President Smith, who atteended the opening of the conference Friday, remained at home Satur day after .doctors reported the bearded, 79-year-old church lead er had "strained" his health. The conference ends Sunday.

A father and son, Willie Welton Hughes, 49, and Carol Welton Hughes, 19, were recaptured by state police shortly after the es' cape. Police found the twq walking down the railroad track after they had abandoned a stolen car to avoid running into a police road block at Winchester. They had progressed only a short distance from Winchester. The "Hughes, of Pittsburgh, Calif., had been jailed on an auto theft charge. They and four others engi neered their escape by tricking jailer Walter Wilson into opening the cell door. A prisoner asked Wilson to be allowed to put a suit of clothes in a suitcase.

W All Indian provinces and the n V- J mainr Tnritnn ,ta(ae I St S Passed similar prohibitions during f the past year. Ambedkar realizes that legisla tion alone cannot solve the prob lems of his people any more than legislation alone has solved the American Negro problem. Problems like this are rooted deep in psychology and they take generations to wipe out, maybe hundreds of years," Ambedkar said recently. "Racial and religious prejudices are not rational things. and it would be foolish to imagine that they could be eliminated over night by the passing of a law. No Color Question "But the problem of the Indian untouchable will be easier to solve than the Negro problem in Amer ica because the color question does not arise here. All Indians are colored, whether hey are Brah mins or Harijans." (Note: The term "Harijan," meaning "Elect of God," was coined by Gandhi.) Ambedkar estimated the Hari jan population of India "between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000." .. Introduction of provincial laws designed to end discrimination against untouchables has been far from successful. Hundreds of Hindu temples, previously out-of-bounds to untouchables, have been thrown open to untouchables re cently. But the opening ceremonies in most cases have been guarded j by heavy detachments of police,! and according to Ambedkar, "most, untouchables still would rather I not enter a temple." An Harijan woman was beaten to death in th East Punjab be cause she joined a banquet of upper caste Hindus. Many public eating places still refuse to serve food or even water to Harijans. In many places Harijans are for bidden to draw water from wells used by upper casta Hindus. The Harijan problem is worse in the villages than in the big cities, according to Ambedkar. He says that Harijans are steadily drifting to the cities, adopting the dress and customs of other Hin dus, and being accepted. This ii impossible in most villages, he says, because everyone knows who the Harijans are. In villages the untouchables are segregated and can apeak to caste Hindus only at a distance of several yards. Lack Qualified Men The Harijans have a percent age of posts in governments re served for them, but many of the positions remain vacant because there are not enough qualified men among the untouchables. Under the Indian government system, as established by the British before independence, cer tain percentages of jobs in the government were reserved for each community, including Hin dus, Moslems, Indian Christians, Anglo-Indians and "Scheduled Castes" ((untoucables). Although freedom has come, this percentage still exists as far as the untouch ables are concerned. Harijan leaders feel that the present government Is proceeding too slowly in the matter of im proving their lot. They feel they and 11 strikers were killed. The strike failed and the entire labor movement weakened for years. 1909 A violent 14-month strike led by the amalgamated iron and steel workers collapsed and led to the breakup of the union. 1919-1920 William Z. Foster led a strike of 363,000 AFL work ers in an unsuccessful drive against big steel's open shop pol icy. More than a score killed in the three-month upheaval. 1937 "Little steel" resisted the organizational attempts of the newly formed CIO. The companies Bethlehem, Inland, Republic and Youngstown Sheet & Tube ex perienced violence. Ten strikers were killed at Inland Steel near Chicago. The companies finally capitulated in 1942. 1946 About 750,000 basic steel workers walked out in orderly protest to industry's refusal to ac cept President Truman's recom mendation of an 18 cent hourly wage increase. Four weeks later the industry agreed to the formu la after it was granted a $5 per ton increase in prices. 1949514,000 walked out in protest to major producers' re fusal to accept the steel fact find ing board's recommendations for wholly company financed 10-cent per hour pension and insurance formula. 903 Hours Up, Get No Place Love Stymied By Red Tape aw iunn-(ff)-A Portland er's attempt to marry a German woman ran into another barrier aaturaay. Edward Reisbeck, who has tried for months to get Hilda Eisner Into this country, found she was held at Ellis Island because, when she finally did arrive, it was le gally too late. Miss Eisner landed by plane from Copenhagen Sept. 24, three aays after expiration of an act permitting fiancees of ex-GIs to enter the country on a non-quota basis. Immigration officials said she also had left Copenhagen two days after her visa had expired. Her appeal was forwarded Frl. day to the commissioner of immi gration' in Washington. , Reisbeck met the woman while In the Army in Germany.

Wash. 0P) Thirteen soldiers reported chased out of town by angry Othello res idents Thursday night were held in the Moses Lake Air Force Base guard house Saturday. The base public information of ficer, Lt. Lee Heykens, said offi cers had not determined whether five other soldiers were Involved. First reports said residents chased 18 soldiers with pitchforks and pick handles. However, Mayor Clyde Matthews of Othel lo denied Friday that any weap ons were used, and Lt. Heykens said reports that five soldiers were absent without leave had been disproved. Matthews said the soldiers came down here looking for trouble. The fellows here caught three of them and worked them over a little bit with their fists outside the city limits." He said Othello was glad to have soldiers visit the town if "they behave In the proper man ner." col. 1. Alan Bennett, com manding officer of the base, said offending soldiers would be pun. lshed promptly as soon as an In. vestigatlon was completed. the plaintive cries of the Commu nist press, it is an enective one. "lt is lamentable that this jazz- 1 screeching, which has nothing to do with music, is poisoning our youth," said the party organ, Neues Deutschland, in an edi torial. The paper claimed American jazz is being Imported Into Ger many by the evil, calculating forces behind the Marshall Plan to "deaden the minds of the masses." American swing music seems to be one import, however, which the Germans are quite willing to pay for themselves. At least that was the clear Indication given by some 900 yuong fans who packed the staid old Taberna Academica for a jam session organized by the "Hot Club of Berlin." Place Crowded They paid 4.50 west marks each for their seats. Those who could find only standing room paid the same price, more than the best seats In the Russian sector Slants Operahaus. The session got under way shortly before midrdght, and at sun-up the German hep-cats were still pounding the scats and plead ing for encores. This correspondent witnessed, during the session, the sad spec tacle of two young Communist minds being effectively poisoned, probably beyond any hope of re clamation for the purposes of the world order. Reporters Owned ' They belonged to two reporters from Soviet-controlled Radio Ber lin, who were among a dozen Communist news and radio men sent to the jam session, wearing expressions of dignified superi ority to give the East sector read ers and listeners the straight dope on Western decadence. I took a seat near them to watch their re. actions. Their faces lost that Molotov scowl after the first few minutes, and both men started tapping their on "Oo-Poppa-Doll." It still took more than an hour of solid jive for the trumpets to unfreeze the pair, occasionally they would look at each other, memember this was all capitalist frivolity, and bring themselves back to the party line with a jerk, One of the young Communists seemed to find the room too warm when the band atarted In on "Screaming Boogie." He took off his necktie. The other did the same. On "C-Jam Blues," the two open, their heads wagged loosely back and forth, and their feet took up the rhythmic stomping whicrj was shaking the hall.

GOP Replies To Truman WASHINGTON (A) The Republican National Committee says President Truman's forecast of better Incomes for Americans is a case of "promising the moon and not worrying about how to keep the promises."

The pitch on the perplexing peccadillo proceeds along this purple pattern: trance of the complainant Into the office of Deputy Prosecutor Jack Obenour. A paperhanger, he stormed, had kissed his daughter. Dutifully, Obenour heard out the story, then phoned the sheriff's office. To the office of Chief Deputy Sheriff Sig Klttleson was hailed the hapless hanger. He poured forth a pious protestation: I had just finished showing my clared: "Promising to increase every. one's income at a time when the nation Itself, under Mr, Truman's administration is running further Into debt at the rate of literally millions of dollars a day comes under the classification of a good trick if you can do it "That aspect of the situation, however, Is one that has never samples," he explained, "when this 1 troubled Mr. Truman.

I was so filled with joy at her fortune I kissed her. The mother, I mean. "It was a harmless kiss," he con tinued, hitching his chair closer to Klttleson "just a little peck on the cheek like this" And before the astonished 250 pound Klttleson could move the paperhanger demonstrated by bus sing him soundly on the cheek. The harried officer called for aid. Deputy Sheriff Earl Robinson, who earlier had arrested the sus pect, stuck his head in the door and as quickly withdrew It. "Oh no not that!" cried the re treating Robinson "that's the guy that kissed me on the way In while he was trying to explain why he was arrested." Klttleson turned the case over to Raising the Income of Americans would be more meaningful, Gab rlelson said, if the value of the dollar were stable, "The value of the dollar today Is at least 25 per cent less than lt was when Mr, Truman became President," he asserted. LETTER TO DENMARK . . . Burnett Nielsen, Kongevejen 130, Birkerod, Denmark Dear Son: It sure pays to advertise. A man, sitting eating his dinner, said: "Say what's the name of this place!" It cost me some more paint, plywood, four hrs. of sleep and one sore thumb. Below I'm answering the ques tions as they come in your letter. Q: Why is your home-made bread so different in tasted a.. lavillMl 1 A: Because it is made nature's way, namely raised by room i temperature, and using no substitutes. Why should your butter horns get so .many com-: menls? A: Son, you ought to know, being In Denmark. It s the butter, boy, unadulterated, and plenty of it. Q: Do people know the differ ence t A: No, but you know what Lin coln SRld about the people . . . The sad truth Is that ALL of us sometime don't watch what goes out of our mouth. SOME don't taw what goes into It. Q: Aren't you out a little far on Willamette? A: Sure, people have a nice view over th eastern hills, and can enjoy scenery and traffic while eating. Some like to come and have their evening meal, before going to the show. Or they come in for a snack after show. But we want to catch more of the people driving home via So. Will. Once they stop, they'll be back, because what they bring home makes everybody happy. Q: Tell me some of the things customers have actually said. A: Did you ever make your dad blushl Here goes: Best food In town . . . Never had a better sandwich . . . Best Coffee anywhere ... We ' like your place, because we feel more cozy . , . Best bread In Oregon (Ml?) Best chocolate caka and but- terhorns we have found any place In the country (Amen). And here Is your . last question, son, which 1 am particularly glad to answer. Q: How is your catering serv. Ice? A: Our catering service deals with Danish open-faced sandwiches, arranged ON THE CUSTOMER'S OWN PLATTER, and made up shortly before the party. It has met with success lor three reasons: It's sophist! cated (look it up. son), it's not expensive, and you just couldn't Imagine anything more delicious and with appetizing look . . . but what's the use of telling YOU, who are over there In the midst of culinary perfection. Before I close with best of wirhes to you all, I can tell you that we now have our bread and pastries at Wally's, across from the Miner bldg., re. member? Papa. P.S.
