MONDAY. APRIL 21, 1952 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE THREE i JI Geologists Enjoy Lake Area Visit Deschutes Geology Club memocrs and friends early Sunday moved out over Oregon's old lake country In an eight-car caravan of some 35 persons on an arrowhead hunting expedition that took them into an isolated part of Lake county that was once under water. H. A. Casi day, ex-Lake county sheriff and now Bend chief of police, headed the caravan. The group moved eastward past Fort Rock for a view, from a dis tance, of the Cressman cave nf American anthropologic fame, then into the area of the circular rock that gives the basin its name. From the hamlet of Fort Rock, the arli fact hunters drove east to the re mote Lake area, once the center-of a community of some 200 home steaders, whose cabins remain among dunes and sagebrush. The group scattered over an old lake bed northwest of Lake in a quest for arrowheads, joined m a lunch near an abandoned ranch home, then returned home over various routes. Several carloads of the arrowhead hunters drove past Thorne lake to the Fremont high way, and back to LaPine over that route. I Ideal weather prevailed, the I hunters reported, but compara tively few arrowheads were found. Mrs. Casiday returned with one of the prizes of the day an obsid ian spear point.

Great Prizes Still at Stake In Struggle Between Powers EDITORS NOTE: The war in Korea, the struggle for a new balance of power in Europe are, in a sense, "local" outbreaks in a struggle between the two great est coalitions the world has ever seen. On the one side are the powers led by the United States believing in the concept of de mocracy. On the other, are the forces of Communism led by Rus sia. Some issues already have been decided. Others are in the balance. But great prizes still are at stake. Three of them are In dia, Iran and Indonesia which to gether comprise nearly one-fifth of the world's population. Phil Newsom, United Press foreign news analyst, will devote his next three columns to these prizes, as sessing the direction in which each may go. By PHIL NEWSOM (United I'reas Foreign Analyst) In the Andhra district of South cm India there are in hundreds of villages children named "Stal in" or "Lenin." It is a measure of the inroads Communism already has made in the vast sub-continent of near ly 362,000,000. and the Andhra district Madras could be the sign post along the route the whole of India eventually might follow. .One of the greatest prizes left in the hot and cold wars might be among the first to fall to com munlsm. ' The Congress Party of Jaw aharlal Nehru emerged from the recent Indian general elections- largest in the world with clear majorities in Parliament and in most of the state Legislatures. But Communism emerged a strong second .and in the tiny state of Tripura, at the eastern edge of the country, won an ab solute majority. The illiterate, ill-fed, ill-housed and ill-clothed millions of India provide a made-to-order target for FECIAL 00 Service Night Time Phone 1890-J College Choir to the Communists, and in the re cent elections they made the most of it. - In the southern state of Trav- ancore-Cochin, for example, the Reds won 32 seats In the State Legislature, only 12 fewer than the Congress Party. Landless peasants were prom ised land for free. In some areas, Communist elec tion workers handed out bogus legal deeds executed in favor of persons ready to vote for leftist candidates. The deeds entitled the voters to parcels of land. In the northern part of the state, voters were told that a Russian freighter loaded with food grains could not unload its mercy cargo because of the In dian government's unwillingness to accept such supplies from the Soviets. The poorly fed masses were told that if the Communists were put in power, the food ration of six ounces of rice per adult per week would be raised to 16 ounces. "It was," reported United Press Correspondent S. M. Das from Bombay, "meaty food for empty stomachs. In all, the Communists won 181 of the 587 seats they contested in the state Assemblies. A Communist candidate in the state of Hyderabad won the high est total of all in the parliamori tary elections, with 309.162 votes1 or 77 per cent of the total cast.. Meanwhile, both Russia and Red China have launched strong propaganda offensives in the cul tura), scientific and film fields.

The Reds distributed thousands of leaflets and displayed heavy industrial equipment, , automo biles, textiles, leather goods and even food grains. A hopeful sign for the West is the fact that the Congress Party has taken to heart the warning as seen in the outcome of the elections and now figures it has five years in which to prove it self and recover its losses.

BARTHOLOMEW (Uniuil I'rrsw Staff Corratponilent) YUCCA FLAT, Nev., April 21 (If) Fifteen hundred hardy young Americans at Camp Desert Rock in a bleak and windswept valley 20 miles distant prepared Monday to move into foxholes of Yucca Flat. Thero they will op in closer prox imity to Tuesday's atomic, bomb blast than any troops have ever been, since Hiroshima and Naga saki. -. With ihem were 120 paratroop ers who, after . exposure to the great blast officially labelled as "equal to 100 suns." would then board troop carrying airplanes and be dropped just beyond the blasted area called Ground Zero. The test, will put American foot soldiers the closest they have ever been to nn A-blast a distance ol about seven miles. And also for the first time, the American public will get its first look at a ''live" atomic explosion actually going off. Two networks CBS and NBC will televize the test, scheduled for between 11 a.m. and noon (CST)," weather permit ting. Installation Completed Meantime, scientists young and old, some of them sedately attired but most of them young, hatless and wearing brightly colored sports shirts, completed final installation of instruments in towers 300 feet high above and in bunkers far be low the sage-covered floor, of this high desert valley. . . , . ' The . weather forecast, awaitea anxiously by the hundreds of par licipants and observers, predicted. decreasing cloudiness during the day and clear weather by Tuesday. The bomb itself was believed' to be in readiness at Kirtland Air Force Base near Albuquerque, N. M. The bomb may be carried by a B-50 bomber, one of which was on display at Indian Springs Air Base near here. Officers and troops at Camp Desert Rock were In high spirits and obviously relished the venture facing them- less than 24 hours henqe. As their commanding offi cer, Brig. Gen. Harry P. Storko, said, "They are to be featured players of this production." Purpose of the extraordinarily close exposure of troops, In ordin ary foxholes four, feet deep with out reinforcement, was two-fold, Slorke said. First objective Is tactical train ing so that, in the language of the lnvmnn. nn invading force will be able to follow up swiftly and with reasonable safety an atomic bomb ing uttack upon enemy strongholds. SttU Stunned These troops are to learn how to invade an enemy military area still stunned by the force of atomic attack and to capture surviving personnel and objectives. "From our experience here," Storke said, "we have learned that the Army's tactical doctrine is so sound as to require, neither basic change nor modification. An as sault supported by atomic weapons similar to the test to be staged, will involve the same general tac tics as assault supported by con ventional high explosive shelling or aerial bombardment." Second objective is to analyze the psychological reactions of the participating troops, the general said. Officers' and men of the com bat team were interviewed by : .
