The total rose sharply yester day with the deaths of 28 passen gers and crew members aboard an American airlines DC-6 at Dallas, Tex., and five persons aboard an Air France DC-4 which crashed at Lyons, France. Both of the big transports crashed in flames when the pilots tried to bring their planes in for landings. Eighteen of the 46 persons aboard the American airlines plane survived but most were burned or injured when the New Vnrk.Mpvim Pltv nirlinpr trlpri tn L , come down with two of its four Kvi!- engines dead at the Dallas mu--nieipal airport. J The French four-englned plane overshot the mist -covered Bron airport at Lyons and crashed in fairly open country 18 miles away. Seventeen persons escaped with injuries.

Scientists Make Progress Toward Painless Dentistry ''A Dividing Line For Orient Not Definitely Set Washington u The problem of orienting the Orient seems to have forced the state depart ment and the United Nations Into a state of academic disagree ment, and left the reading public in a geograpnicai quandary. Where, for example, does the near east end and the middle east begin? Not even geopolitical experts can agree on the answer. The state department deftly sidesteps this geographical problem by avoiding the term middle east. In regional groupings within the de partment are the division of near eastern affairs and a division of south Asian affairs, both includ ed within the office of near east ern and African affairs. Within the United Nations and among the British' and American journalists, however, the term middle east is used frequently to apply to the same general area thought of as near eastern with in the state department. Phrases Confused This apparent geographical confusion probably arises from the fact that the terms near east, middle east, and far east, always have been phrases of convenience to split up the vast subcontinent lying south of the mountain range extending from the Cauca sus to the Himalayas. The terms never have had official status and the boundaries of the regions al ways have been rather vague. Dating back to the historical point when explorers first began to define the east, writers have described the area with reference to Europe as the center of the world. Near east referred to the fringe of countries along the Asiatic mainland nearest to Ktironp. The far east became that area farthest from Europe. The term "middle east" was used occasion ally by some writers in a hazy way to cover parts of the inter vening territory. American Style Among American writers and geographers, near east was con sidered generally to apply to Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and sometimes Egypt. In some cases Iraq, the Hashimite kingdom of the Jordan (formerly Transjor dan) and parts of northwestern Arabia were included. The state department's division of near eastern affairs embraces Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Pal estine, the Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries of the Arab peninsula, Syria, and the Anglo Egyptian Sudan. Its division of south Asian affairs, in effect completing the middle east, in cludes Afganistan, Burma, Cey lon, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Offshore, Japan and the Philip pines are regarded as part of the far east. The islands of Indonesia, or the Malay archipelago, are at times referred to as a portion of the far east, but more frequently they are classed separately, as Is Australia. By Paul F. Ellis 1 (United Prens Science Kditor) New York UP "Painless" den tistry may be on the way, accord ing to the dental scientists. Four big strides to make the dentist's chair more comfortable already have been taken. They are: 1. The use of small doses of pentothal sodium by injection into a vein in combination with nitrous-oxide-oxygen for general anesthetics in dental procedures. 2. The use of the sedative, dem erol, with novocain to control ap prehension and pain. 3. The development of a device that delivers a fine spray of wa ter to the cutting point of a den tal instrument to reduce friction al heat in cavity preparations. 4. The development of fast, clean-cutting frictionless instru ments of , hard carbide tungsten steel and diamonds to cut down the discomfort in cavity prepara tion. Jet-Drilling Technique Now Being- Tested A fifth stride toward painless dentistry also is being taken. It is the development of a new in strument, a dental handpiece, based on the air-abrasive, that cuts through tooth structure by means of a high speed jet of air, carrying a fine abrasive. A group of dental experts at a recent panel discussion at the University of Illinois described the general subject of teeth as an important one in' many ways. It was pointed out that disease of the teeth can cause pain in other Darts of the bodv. and that dis ease in other parts of the body can cause tooth pain. The scientists recalled that the diseased tooth may be the cause of severe facial neuralgias, of disease of the sinus, of enlarge ments of the neck glands. Dentists of Today Need Diagnosis Knowledge It was pointed out that while the dentist may not be prepared to treat pains of the body, he should be able to make diagnosis and refer his patients to medical men for treatment, one expert, Dr. Edward J. Ryan, of the Uni versity college of dentistry, said that the dentist as a diagnostician must think of the teeth and the supporting tissues as points of origin of facial and head pains and systemic disease. The dentist also must consider the teeth and their neighboring tissues as being sometimes in volved in diseases of other tissues and organs, he said if When the Grand Coulee dam project is completed, it is esti mated that homes will be pro- ' i vlded for more than 350.000 per-TV-sons living on the irrigated farms t and In towns dependent on them. SHORT WILL SPEAK James Short, Deschutes county representative to the state legis lature, will be guest speaker at a meeting of the Pilot Butte Farm bureau center, Friday, Dec. 2, at 8 p.m., at the Rock schoolhouse, on the Alfalfa road. He will talk on farming as a business, and the need for farm organization. The public will be welcome to attend the meeting, officers of the Pilot Butte center announced. Southern Dam Will Inundate Historic Spots - By Dick West (Unltiil Press Staff Correspondent) Atlanta HP) Some of the South's most Interesting historic points will disappear this winter when the- getes are closed on the new Allatoona dam. , The dam will back water, into the picturesque Etowah Valley, scene of import'ants parts of Dix ieland history from the American revolution until the Civil war. After December, most of the area will be at the bottom of the res ervoir. One part of the lake floor will contain the remains of the South's first iron works. It was built by Mark Cooper, who fashioned spikes for the first railroads, horseshoes for the Revolutionary army and war tools for the Con federate army. Graves of the Cooper family have been remov ed to a place that will be above the water line. Battlefield to Go Also to be submerged is the Civil war battlefield where Union forces erected the "Star Dedoubt' fort after the Battle of Atlanta, It was built to protect supply lines from rebel troops command ed by Gen. Samuel G. French, 8 "Yankee" who fought with the Confederates because of his southern-born wife. Legend has it that two south ern Irishmen almost won the Al latoona battle by spraying the Union men with a pile of junk Iron, fired from a little brass cannon. General Sherman, watch Ing the fight' from Kenesaw mountain, sent word to "hold the fort, for l am coming," and in spired the hymn of that title, Also in the valley are the Eto wah mounds and two stately pre war homes. The Kenesaw Mountain Histor ical association recently sponsor ed tours and lectures in the area which soon cannot be visited without a diving suit. The wings of a butterfly are usually held upward when at rest; the wings of a moth at rest are usually flat or folded against tne Dody. Relieve Stuffy ose FAST V Quick.

YUM'1? fj VICK5 VA-TRO-LMOL NOSE DROPS U .VI Chicago Man Determined To Homestead Homer, Alaska, Nov. 30 HP A Chicago tenderfoot who carried his city's motto of "I Will" Into the Alaska wastelands, won the admiration of oldtime Alaskans today. But they hoped that he would learn the ways of the wild erness in u. hurry. Grady Deas, 24, was found shiv ering in a soggy sleeping bag yesterday by search parties who had nunted tnrougi tne Lake Caribou swamplands, 30 miles east of here, for four days and three nights to find him. Deas wsnt Into the backwoods to carve out a homestead. With him he took a rifle, sleeping bag and plenty of self-confidence. l lived an my live in '-nicago without getting lost and I figure I can Ilnd my way around Alas ka," he said. "Don't worry about me. But when he didn t return, resi dents of the area formed search parties. They found Deas with the aid of two uogs. Found in S-.vanip He was lying in his wet sleep ing bag in the middle of a swamp. He had thrown away all his other equipment while trying to get out of the wilderness. I was finished." Deas admitted to his rescuers. "I didn't have the strength to go another foot. l just rolled oy sleeping oag out in the open where a plane could sight me. Then I waited for death. Lawrence Roach of Homer, who Jed the search party, then broke the news to Deas that he was "waiting for death" only a few hundred yards from a homestead er's cabin. In the four days of wandering, Deas had never been more than three miles from a settlement on Machemak bay, Roach said. Deas was too weak to waiK and had to be carried to Roachs cabin. But his "I will" spirit carried on. I'm going back and stake that homestead," he said firmly. Homer residents sighed and said they'd have another search party standing by. 3 Short Plays To Be Presented The Bend Community Players met last night in the commission room of the city hall to select one- act plays for future produetirin. iwo piays were read by the mem bers, "The Valiant," by Holwor thy Hall and Robert Mlddleness. and "The Dear Departed," by Stanley Houghton.

(IPi Here's pri vate enterprise, junior size. ; i The day of the football game, "two small boys stood outside the main gate of Ohio stadium, count ing their money. They had Just 20 cents between them. Having decided that crawling over the fence was beneath their dignity, the older of the two hit on a plan. With the 20 cents he bought four copies of the Columbus Citi zen football special at five cents a copy. He gave two of them to h i s buddy. Then, holding one paper over his arm and waving the other in his hand, he strode up to the gate. "Get vour football lineup! Name of each and every player!" he shouted. The gateman, evident ly thinking newsboys were to be admitted free, let him pass, with his friend right behind him. Once inside the stadium, they quickly sold the paper and watch ed the game still with 20 cents in their pockets.
