1 ! hi The Bend Bulletin. Wednesday. July 21. 1954 French, U. S. Prestige Down InS. E. Asia l!y FRANK II. BARTHOLOMEW I'rttted Press Stiitf Corruspondcnt TOKYO (UP) Prestige of the United Stales in Southeast Asia is almost as low as that of - the French as the colonial empire of r ranee comes into its final chap ters, most .neutral observers in Southeast Asia are agreed. Vietnam's millions appear to have believed firmly that the Uni ted States would come to the- ac tive rescue of the Franco-Vietnam cause- as opposed to Communism. They magnified and even dis torted from Iho statements of Washington political and military leaders the- things they wanted to believe that the United State? uould at the last minute save flicin and the Rod military in vasion. Free talk in the United Stales about possible use of the atom bomb to drive out the invaders was accepted almost as a declar ulion that the bomb would be used. When it finally dawned on even the most optimistic that Iho Uni ted States had cooled off, had de cided that Dion Bicn Phu was a lost cause and now intended to "wait and see," (he prestige of the United States went lo a low ebb and has remained there. The American up-and-down pol , icy statements have to a large ex tent undone the work of Iho U.S. specialists in the field with the common people of Vietnam, and i Iho United Stales stands convicted .on many quarters of the twin sins rtliat are unforgivoahle in the Ori ent indecision and weakness. Little credit is given the United Slates for ils tremendous contri bution of tanks, trucks, artillery and ammunition lo the French union forces. For two reasons. In the first place, the people do not read the name-plates on the tanks and the French did not go out of their way to advertise the origin. More importantly, all this mater iel was part of a losing cause anv iway and therefore to be entirely discredited. I-tritafn, the only western power with actual colonial possessions remaining in Hie orient the com mercial cities of Hong Kong and Singapore has ..emerged from the debacle of Vietnam with undam aged prestige'. This is generally fell in Saigoii lo be due to the fuel that Britain never gave, the iinti Ciimmunisl forces any cause to exbect heln, hence there Is no feeling of let-down. ' Chessman Faces Death On July 30 SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calif.. (UP) Convict-author Caryl Chess man will go to his death alone and will be the first of three men to die in San Quentin's lethal gas chamber on July 30, accord ing to Warden Harley O. Teets. The warden said Chessman will be executed along at 10 a.m. "be cause of the prominence of Ins case." The other two men. James Franklin Wolfe, 41. and Joseph Johansen, 25, convicted of killing a fellow prisoner, will die togeth er in the apple-green chamber at 1 p.m. Meanwhile, Chessman's lawver. Berwyn Rice, of San Rafael. Cal has petitioned the stale supreme court for yet another writ of habeas corpus and a slay of ex ecution. Chessman, convicted of kidnap ing and rape in Los Angeles, Cal. lias been in this prison's death row for nearly six years fighting a legal battle to ave himself Two and a half years of that time he spent writing "Cell 2lf Death Row" a self analysis of himself as a condemned man and a criminal. He has allained i tionwide fame since his book was seller. . The cnnvict-jniilhor was convict ed under California's Little Lind bergh Law" for kidnap-assaults involving acts of forcible sex per version. The petition, now awaiting ac tion by the court, alleges that er rors were made in his trial in Los Angeles in 1918 and that Iho transcript of appeal from convic tion was inaccurate. Chessman has once before been granted a temporary stay while Superior Judge Thomas F. Keat ing of San Rafael studied a peti tion for a' writ of habeas corpus. Judge Keating finally denied Hie writ and a new execution date was set. 4 pyt , v 3 v iSchool Money For Oregon Set In Senate Bill NAMKD COMM AXDKK Special t The Bulletin FORT SILL. Okla.

Beaming Anti-Commie Jokes Behind Iron Curtain Hy PET Kit KDSOX AI Washington Correspondent WASIIINGTON-U. S. Informa tion Agency's Voice of America lias been gagging up some of its programs by broadcasting the latest anti-Communist jokes be hind the Iron Curtain. Here are a few samples: A voter standing in line for s factory council election in Czech oslovakia, was examining Ihe bal lol given to him in an envelope. "What are you doing?" asked his supervisor. "I want to know whom I'm vot ing for," answered the worker. "Are you out of your mind?" asked Ihe supervisor. "Don't you know the ballot is secret?" This one came from a Hun garian escapee: "The government promised to raise our standard of living 50 per cent when spring came, and they have done it. We used to be starving and shivering and now we are only starving." A visitor to Hie office of Bul garia's prime minister asked. "What kind of a telephone is that on your ucsk u lias u i euuivci i but no speaker." "Direct line lo Moscow," the prime minister replied. Poles have a way of collecting bonuses offered by Ihe Commu nist government for speedy work. How they do it is explained by two bricklayers who have erected a wall in speedy time. The one says to the other, "You hold it up while I go and get the bonus. Kep. (jrurgo M. iruut (D., Ala.) got into a hot farm bill ar gument with Rep. Jacob K. Ja- vits (K., N. Y.) who was sup porting a move to lake peanuts otf Ihe list of basic commodities entitled lo high price supports. 'Some years ago." said Grant, great Negro scientist by the name of Dr. George Carver, of Tuskogee Institute, was making some experiments with peanuts. Guernsey Sets Production Mark PETERBOROUGH,- N. H.-Lcc and Elsie Allen, Bend, Ore., are the owners of a purebred Guern sey, that has just completed a state championship production record. The cow; Shiloah Proud Rebecca, produced 9,306 pounds of milk and 531 pounds of fat, which is the highest herd im provement record in the slate of Oregon, made by a senior two year-old milked two times daily for 365 days. The sire of this cow, Stcrlin- goid Pilot, owned by Dr. Edgar S rortner, Salem, Ore., has one son and five tested daughters in the performance register of The American Guernsey Cattle Club.

' I here has been developed, and it is hoped by many of us that there will be offered on the mar ket at some lime in the near fu ture, a hair restorer made of pea nut oil. I would say that would he one of the greatest things that the little, lowly peanut has ever produced." When Democratic Senators Hum phrey of Minnesota and Douglas of Illinois both jumped Colorado's Republican Eugene Milhkin dur ing tax bill debate, he stopped them with "One at a lime. I shall he glad to take on the senators at any time but one at a time. "I am reminded of the story of the poll parrot who was a prisoner in a cage. He kept crying 'I want my liberty. I want my freedom.' Finally the cage was opened and me poll parrot flew out and land ed on the limb of a tree. All the blackbirds in Hie neighborhood de sbended on him and started pull ing out his fealhers. He said, 'One at a lime, darn you one at a time.' So I am saying, 'One al a lime'." Kep. Victor Wickersliam (D., Okla.) has been registering out raged indignation on the House floor over the fact that his state will not be the location for shool- ing the film version of the mil- sicnl production, "Oklahoma!" Arthur Hornbiower. the pro ducer, has objected to making the picture in Oklahoma because has "loo many oil wells, air planes and people." 'If Mr. Hornbiower wants 'corn as high as an elephant's eve.' we have it in Oklahoma." protest ed Wickersliam. "We non I have to import it and prop it up with stage braces. If Mr. Hornbiower wants cowboy extras, we have them. What bothers Rep. Wickersham in particular is that Hollywood went, all the way lo Africa lo Make "The African Queen." "I want to know, Mr. Speaker," or ated Mr. Wickersham, "why a tins lias neon changed at the ex pense of Oklahoma?" Recent News cables attribution statements to IIo Cni Minh. Indo- Chinese Communist, leader, have revived speculation in the west on whether he is still alive. If alive, he would be 64 years old Ho has taken no direct part in the peace negotiations at either Geneva or in Indo-China. N American delegates al Geneva tried to examine the credentials of the Viet Minh negotiators, lo see if they were signed by Ho, The papers bore no signature. Direct Communist radio broad casls by Ho slopped three years ago. All efforts by Ihe French lo smoke him out have failed.

Johnny Slrobel,, 22, skipper of the raft and originator of the voy- ige, a burlesque of scientific raft expeditions on the Pacific, insist ed "We si ill could have made it.
