A' good many years back, when most of Central Ore gon'iwfoads were of the macadamized or plain dirt type, a strange piece of equipment seasonally appeared in Bend. It was an electro -magnet road sweeper. In recent years there has been little mention of the magnetic sweeper locally, and we presumed that it had been junked, as something not needed in this era of as- he!t and concrete. From the Oregon Statesman we learn the road sweep er is still in use, and in its annual sweeps of every main hifeV .i'ay in Oregon continues to gather a huge amount of mo.! ai'."

Recently, the magnet gathered an average of two pounds of scrap metal per mile from the traveled surface of tli'rf Baldock freeway between Salem and Portland. Purpose of tho huge magnet is to remove from high way?"junk that might cause flat tires, blowouts and ac cider!(J. ,The amount of metal being swept from the modern highways is indeed impressive, but it hardly compares with J;he "take" of early years, viitm roads were corruga ted and dust y. rece il long ago that a Bend Bulletin reporter asked an operator of the electro-magnet unit for a list of the stuff ho had picked up that day in a sweep of Central Ore'.on roads.

Foreign p o t India Abouf fo Turn Back On Self-DeferminafJon Talk By atARI.ES M. MCCANN United PruNM Stuff Ooiwspondi'iit India is atrout to play the un accustomed role of a country that docs not want to talk about the right of self-determination. The United Nations Security Council meets Wednesday to dis cuss the future of the stale of Kashmir, which has been in dis pute between India and Pakistan since 1917. Pakistan wants the United Na tions to conduct a plebiscite so that Kashmir's people can deciil for themselves wlietlier to unite with India or Pakistan. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India is one of the world's foremost supporters of the right of peoples to seli-delermina- tions.

The trouble is Nehru knows that if a plebiscite were held, the Kashmiris would vote to join Pak istan. Full Debate Opposed He said at a meeting of his governing Congress party in New Delhi lust Tuesday that the United Nations should confine itself to the question whether Pakistan has been the aggressor ill the dispute over Kashmir. So on Wednesday, the prospect is tha V. K. Krishna Menon, In dia's chief delegate to the United Nations will argue tfiat the plebi scite issue should not even be de bated. Waco India and Pakistan were given leir freedom in 1D47, what had been British India was di vided between them. The division was made on the basis of religion Hindu areas lo India, Moslem areas to Pakistan. Kashmir is a Mpslem area which has long been under tie rule ot Hindu maharaias. Alter the 1317 partition, bolh India and Pakistan moved troops into the area. There .was bitter fighting between Indian and Pak istani troops, and tribesmen who supported one side or the other, from October, 1917, to the end of 1IHS. Then (lie United Nations drew a cease - fire line between the con tending forces. India remained in occupation of two - thirds of Kash mir. Pakistan stayed in the re maining one-third. The United Nations called for a plebiscite aftel- both Indian ahd Pakistani armies had withdrawn. Double IVl'iancei Nehru agreed to the plebiscite at one time, but he started lo specify conditions that blocked it. Chiefly, he demands that Paki- lani troops get out first. He also wants troops lo be stationed in Kashmir during the vote in the proportion of seven Indian sol diers to one Pakistani soldier. More than tviree million of Kash mir's '1.4 million people arc Mos lems. Indian officials have said pri vately Hint if a plebiscite were held, the vote would go GO per cent for Pakistan. -10 per cent for India. They hardly can be 'as sumed to have over estimated the Pakistani majority. Another angle of the situation is that the United Nations specified that there should lo no change in Kashmir's status until the plebiscite- was held. Hut the part of Kashmir which India holds has adopted a consti ;ution under which it is to come inder the Indian constitution on Thursday, the day alter the U.N. debate starts. So Nehru, the self - dctermina tionisl, seems to be jn double do fiance of the United Nations as rcg.irds Kashmir. (ii van ii-:hmany Special to The Bulletin MADRAS Pvt. Walter K.

NEASriM, lne ?g Sage ' Brushings ' by lie S. Grant Hearing the spoken word while waicmng television manes us won der what language we've been us ing all these years. Surely not English. Or maybe styles have changed. Perhaps we used good grammar and acceptable pronun ciation years ago, but we re just out of fashion at the moment. An announcer informed us yes terday that so-and-so was the "modera -TOR." Accent on the last syllable. Everyone I know says "MOD-er-A-tor,'1 to rhyme with "GI-AD-iator." (Don't tell me tliey're saying "gladia-TOR" these days!) The Rev. Robert Richards ap peared on "What's My Line" as one of the challengers Sunday ivijht. As Bob Richards, he was champion pole vaulter in the Olympics in 1952 and 1956. He did not give the panel too much trouble. The usually meticulous Dorothy Kilgallen made the telling thrust. But the way she phrased her ques tion was unexpected, to say the least. "Are you a reverend?" she asked. This just goes io prove that yes terday's boner is tomorrow's ac cepted form. Perhaps even now, "reverend" is listed in new dic tionaries as a noun as well as an adjective. But I have to be shown! George Gobel ad libbed effec tively as "mystery challenger" on What's My Line." The Chief made a profound observation, to wit: 'If they'd fire (hat guy's writers and let him just net the fool, he'd be the biggest hit on television.
