Public Address
System in Use
Possibly some of the older mem
bers of the Bend Elks' lodge will
yearn for the good old days, be
fore the era of public address sys
tems. In those days, an Elk could lose
himself in the Bend lodge hall, un
disturbed by calls. True, a tele
phone call might come in to the
secretary's office, and the secre
tary would relay the message by
sticking bis head through a door
and calling: "Telephone for
Bill
Smith."
Those days are gone forever.
A feature of the new building is
an inler-eonimunication system
ihal reaches into every pari of the
; building. A telephone call for Bill
Mnilh can bo relayed to any room
in the big building, on either flixir.

Chinese Bosses
Could Blunder
Nation Into War
Uy CHARLES M. MeCANN
nlled Frew Stall Correspondent
The Chinese Reds are in a posi
tion to make a disastrous mis
oike. If they are sensible, they will
cake the United States at its word
nat it will not tolerate an inva
sion of Formosa.
If they are not, they will be re
lating the mistake they made
hen they went into the Korean
War.
Premier-Foreign Minister Chou
-n-iu, woo see, as to oe masier
iiinumg tne Formosa situation ior
.lie P e 1 p 1 n g government, has
-limbed pretty far outon a limb.
Jul he still has time to stop.
Chou has been talking tough
jver since the Chinese Commu
aists started bombarding the Na
tionalist held islands on the C'tiina
.ilainlund last Seplemoer.
Chou says the Reds are deter
mined to take Formosa. He says
also that they will accept no
ease-tire wnicn would stop the
present island fighting between
ic Reds and the Nationalists.
Should Know
But Chou must have sense
jnough to know, since the Korean
iVar, that Red China can not take
. ormosa against the United
oiates 7th Fleet and whatever
Jlse the United Slates might need
.o Ihrow in.
President Eisenhower lias left
v-iiou and his letlow Red leaders
d clean-cut choice, peace or war.
Faced with the President's ac
tion, the Reds can still change
iiieir minds.
The difficulty is that dictators
are prone to make big mistakes,
and Chou, Mao Tse-Tung and the
other Peiping Reds are dictators.
Adolf Hitler blundered into
starling World War II. He had
grabbed oil Austria and Czecho
slovakia and was going strong.
But he ditln't believe Great
Britain und France when they
said Ihoy should defend Poland it
ne attacked it.
Hitler took Poland without dif
ficulty. But he started World War
il, in which Germany finally was
smushitl and he and his fellow
Nazi leaders met shameful death
by suicide or hanging.
lough Talk
Chou started talking tough in
V.m when the United Nations
forces crossed the 3Slh parallel
into North Korea, lie talked tough
er and tougher until Red China
did get in.
Chou and his fellow leaders
made several mistakes then.
First, the Korean War was a
United Nations war and not just
a United Slates war: the free
world was behind it. Secondly he
woefully underestimated the enor
mous iowor of the United States,
which did most of the fighting.
Undoubtedly Chou thought the
United Slates would be pushed off
I the Korean peninsula. Il cost the
Red Chinese well over one million
casualties lo realize it could not
be.
Chou now has the choice of
making another mistake like that,
or of accepting the facts of life.

Keeping 'Em Open
SPRINGFIELD, III. (UP)
The work of keeping 14,000 miles
of Illinois roads open to traffic
during the winter is no small
chore.
The state highway division mo
bilized 2,000 maintenance men
and a fleet of 1,860 mechanized
vehicles to do battle with winter.
Workers installed 300 miles of
snow fence and stockpiled 300.000
cubic yards of sand and cinders,
1,000 tons of calcium chloride and
10,000 tons of salt at strategic
spots.
The highway division estimates
it spends more than 1,500,000 a
year to keep roads passable dur
ing the winter.
Baldness Linked
To Emotions
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP) -You
may lose your crowning
glory, it you're the emotional
type, according to Dr. Thomas
Jansen of the University of Mich
igan's Medical school. He thinks
the sudden loss of hair is direct
ly connected with nervous condi
tions. Little can be done for heredi
tary baldness, he said, and you
might as well reconcile yourself
to the inevitahle.
You can't blame baldness on the
barlier either. Cutting or shaving
the hair doesn't affect its growth,
but beware of home waves or
dyes that cause skin changes
Odds are you'll loss your hair,
if you continue using them. .
For dandruff sufferers the doc
tor advised a shampoo, of your
hair brush as well as your hair.
Germ carrie, you know.
He advised that hair be dried
ith a dryer and not a towel.
Towels have a tendency to break
the hair ends, he explained.

iDirector of Aid to
Reports on Progress of Program
By HELEN FISHER
United Prw Staff Correspondent
BELGRADE -(UPl- The man
who bosses America's multi-mil
.ion-dollar militury aid to thit
Jommunist country thinks "we
.iave accomplished a great deal'
,n helping whip its armed forces
jito modern shape.
He admires the Yugoslav soldiei
as "a fighting man" but some
imes finds sensitive militury oi
.icials a bit trying to deal with.
A year ago this month Brig
3en. Peter C. Hains took over at
-hief ot the 37-man military as
iistance staff here. He had jus
.jut in a long stint as deputy di
.ector of the defense department';
office of military assistance i;
Washington. '
In an exclusive interview, thi
orisk, cheery, gray-haired genera,
gave United Press some of the
.ruits of his year's close observa
tion of military human nature in
Yugoslavia.
He has found, he said, that the
military aid job in this country is
not what some might think, just a
straightforward dealing with iacts
and figures, but rather one
which you have lo take into ac
count all sorts of psychological
elements for which the business
like western military man may not
always be prepared.
Jet Manes
Hains said he found the Yugo
slav people in general friendly and
hospitable,' "in many ways with
responses just like those of Amer
icans," but that when it comes to
talking business with them a dif
ferent element creeps in.
Most military officials, he said,
"are extremely proud, sensitive,
and often apt to find hidden mean
ings in the most innocent sentence,
or to lake a joking remark far
too seriously.'
Despite occasional obstacles
arising from such misunderstand
ings, or from "characteristics
which might come from their
Communist training or from some
other source one can never be
quite sure which," Hains said that
in helping to develop their armed
services, I think there is no ques-

Yugoslavia
tion but that we have accom-
ilished a great deal, particularly
n the air service, which has de
eloped very rapidly and effec
ively." It was some 20 months ago that
,'ugoslavia began receiving its
irst jet planes, but today precision
ormations of Thunderjets are a
imiliar part of the scenery.
He praised the spirit of the Yu
oslav soldier, who, he said, "is
enerully conceded to be a good
ighter, who will fight against any
ggressor or any invader of his
ountry."
Heavy Materials
Hains said that during his tour
n Yugoslavia he has "noted a
radual improvement in joint co
.peration and a better undersUind
ng of the objectives of the Amer
can military assistance program."
le hoped that "in the coming
ear much greater progress in
nutual understanding will be
ichieved."
The money value of the ship
ments has never been revealed,
but it is generally believed to total
several hundred million dollars,- or
ilightly more than half of the to- ,
tal aid Yugoslavia has received in
all forms from the United States
since the first food shipments in
i9.")0.
Hains explained that the gener
il basis of the military aid "is to
provide only what they cannot pro
vide themselves."
He said Yugslavia has "made a
fine start" at developing its own
munitions industry, but tliat ' it
cannot hope to develop an indus
try which will support everything
for example, it would not be
economical in the near future for
them to establish production lines
for heavy artillery."
The American aid, therefore, is
based on the understanding that
the Yugoslavs will 'concentrate
on what they make themselves
and have to support themselves."
Since Yugoslavia makes its own
small arms and light weapons,
there have been few of these in
the American program, which con-
centrales instead on heavy equip-
ment.
