The arch is gone, but aura of history
remains for this year's water pageant
No arch will span the Deschutes
this year when the 1960 Mirror Pond
Pageant is presented, but over the lake
of mirrors will be an aura of history.
The occasion will be the 50th an
niversary of the creation of the Mirror
Pond, and the 40th anniversary of the
acceptance by the city of Bend of the
acreage now known as Drake Park.
The Mirror Pond came into exist
ence in 1910 as a by-product of the con
struction of a power dam which still
stands as a part of the Pacific Power
& Light Co. system. When work was
started on the project, there was
scarcely any mention of the lake that
would form behind the dam. But in
June, 1910, a news story in The Bend
Bulletin noted:
"A remarkably beautiful pond will
result from the dam's completion,
which, situated directly beside the
town, will add a notable feature to
Bond's list of attractions."
That definitely was an understate
ment. The Mirror Pond of the Des
chutes is how recognized as one of the
beauty spots of the west coast, with
trees and lawns reaching to the water's
edge and, especially on the west side,
with homes reflected in the river mir
; ror.
Years after the Mirror Pond took
shape, need was seen for a park beside
the beautiful man-created lake. For
tunately, The Bend Company had such
an acreage along the east shore of the
pond, and this was made available for
the city of Bend.
'. In June, 1920, just 10 years after
; the Mirror Pond flooded the ancestral
channel of the Deschutes, Bond started
the development of the area in the
pines and brush set aside as a park.
Volunteers turned to with axes, shovels,
hoes and rakes, to remove brush and
smooth the grounds, then waterless, dry
and a bit dusty. A tag day was held
to get funds for the improvement of
the now park.
Eventually a name was sought, and
the one approved was Drake Park. This
was not in recognition of drakes that
ambled into the brushy dust from the
river, but the Alexander M. Drake,
founder of Bond and original owner of
the park area. It was largely through
the foresight of Drake that the area
had been set aside, and kept free of
industrial construction or residences.
Over the years, Drake Park con
tinued to be improved. Now a fine lawn
reaches for more than half a mile
along the east bank of the river, in this
fairyland setting Drake Park on the
Deschutes.
When the pageant story is pre
sented over a public address system on
the nights of July 2, 3 and 4 this year,
we are certain there will be some men
tion of the story of the scenic lake and
of the green park that borders that
lake.
Nor should be forgotten mention
of the pro-lake days, more than half
a century ago, when a cold river rush
ed through the pond area of the pres
ent. In that river in 1904 were caught,
in a period of three days, enough trout
to feed several hundred people attend
ing a barbecue honoring an Oregon
governor visiting the village of Bond.
There is history in the murmuring
breezes that rustle through the pines
in Drake Park and over the lake of
mirrors.

WASHINGTON - National pas
sions are inflamed bot.1 in Argen
tina and Israel over the kidnap
ping of Nazi criminal Adolf Eich
mann which is being debated to
day in the U.N. Security Council.
Argentine diplomats who now de
mand Eiclimann's return, how
ever, might take a look at some
other arguments over body-snatching
in the western hemisphere.
One case which aroused the Ar
gentines just three years ago was
when the No. 1 storm trooper of
the Peron regime, Patrico KeUv,
fled to Chile March 18, 1957. Kel
ly sneaked across the southern
border of Argentina into the little
Chilean town of Punta Arenas by
bribing border guards. With him
were six other top Peron fascists
all of them escaping from the Rio
Gallegos jail in Pategonia.
The new Argentine government
was just as irate at the escape
of these Peron strong-arm men
as the Israeli government would
be if Eichmann now escaped from
his Jerusalem cell, and there
were intimations that they might
be kidnapped and returned to Argentina.
To prevent any kidnapping, Chi
le jailed all seven, taking them
as a precaution away from the
border to Santiago.
The Argentine government,
which had just kicked out Peron,
demanded their return. Chile con
sidered the matter, finally decid
ed that five had been guilty only
of political crimes and should not
go back, but that two Kelly
and John W. Cooke must re
turn to stand trial for brutal and
inhumane crimes. Kelly was con
sidered a sort of counterpart of
Eichmann. Before he could be ex
tradited, however, Spnorita Blan
co Luce Brum, a right-wing writ
er, came into Kelly's cell, ex
changed clothes with him and he
escaped, dressed as a woman,
Sept. 29, 1957.
The Chilean Ministers of Justice
and Foreign Affairs were suspend
ed as a result. Kelly fled to Cuba,
then to the Dominican Republic
where he joined his old chief, ex-
President Juan Peron, in exile.
Another intense Latin Ameri
can row took place over Victor
Raoul Haya De La Torre, head of
the APRA party in Peru who took
refuge in the Colombian embassy
in Lima, remaining there for
three years while the two coun
tries argued bitterly over who had
jurisdiction. The dispute finally
went to the world court which
handed down a wishy-washy may-be-this,
maybe-that opinion. Final
ly the matter was solved by a
change of governments in Peru
which permitted De La Tone
freedom.
Most sensational case of inter
national kidnapping in the west
ern hemisphere was that of Prof.
Jesus De Galindez of Columbia
University who was whisked off
the streets of New York in 1956
reportedly to the Dominican Re
public. Who kidnapped Galindez
has never been solved and nobody
knows where he is today.

cutting down
on Cuban sugar
WASHINGTON (UPD Secre
tary of State Christian A. Herter
told Congress today the time has
come to cut down on marketing
of Cuban sugar in the United
States, a move that would be a
stiff economic blow to Premier
Fidel Castro.
Without mentioning public .at

Thurman Arnold as the toughest 'and other Cuban officials, Herter
crats back to Democratic sena
tors. This was done by sending the
appointment of Bob Bicks to the
Senate for confirmation as assist

division.

It's simple boys: don't advertise
Now we know for sure that it is
vacation time.
In the Capital Journal, Jim Welch
suggests five places for vacationers to
. visit who want to get away from pop
corn stands, traffic and tourists.
Bob Frazier of the Eugene Register
! Guard agrees with Welch's list, and
; adds a few more spots along the Oro-
gon Coast that receive pretty heavy
'. tourist pressure, but are still worth
; seeing.
Welch's five out-of-the-way spots
! are:
; The gold country of the Rlue Mountains
ghost towns, history and mystery, ro
mance, wide open spaces.
The Snake River gorge, drop, awe

most of us. But they are different types

NAACP maps
2-prong drive
ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI- The
annual convention of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People today mapped
a two-pronged attack on segrega
tion.
The youth and college section
of the NAACP met to plan "strat
egy and procedure" for future
protests against segregation like
the Southern sit-in demonstra
tions. Adult members turned their at
tention to the use of economic
power in the same fight.
The convention also heard
charges today that AKL-CIO un-1
ions in many parts of the South '
have been taken over by segrega
tion leaders. !
Herbert Hill. NAACP labor sec- 1
retary, said that while "it is clear
that the national leadership o
organized labor is attempting to
avoid internal conflict on racial
issues, the Klu Klux Klnn and
White Citizens Councils, especial
ly in Alabama, have transformed
many local unions into virtual ex- :
tensions of segregationist organi
zations. Ho said this has caused a feel
ing of rejection from organized
labor among Southern negroes,
and is causing the AKL-CIO to
lose its influence in the South.
Offer spurned
by Guinness
LONDON (UPD - Film star
Alec Guinness announced through
the British press today he had
turned down a Jl.400.000 offer to
act and sell beer in an American
television scries.
"I would have despised my
self." Guinness explained in dis
closing Uic otter from a leading
American brewery which he did
not otherwise identify.
He said the proposed contract
called on him to advertise his

antitrust prosecutor the Justice
Department has ever seen. He has
gone after some of the biggest
contributors to the Republican
party, including De Pont and Gen
eraf Motors. Members of the cabi
net have grumbled over Bicks'
activity, but both Eisenhower and
Bicks' immediate chief, Attorney
General Bill Rogers, have backed
him up.
Eisenhower has said privately:
"If these fellows have done wrong,
the law ought to be enforced."
For a long time Bicks was "act
ing" in a temporary capacity. But
now his name has been sent to
the Senate for definite confirma
tion, and it will be up to the Demo
crats to veto or approve him.
The subcommittee appointed to
scrutinize him includes Jim East
land of Mississippi, Olin Johnston
of South Carolina, Democrats, and
Roman Hruska of Nebraska, Re
publican. Johnston, who has bat
tled against big business, will be
for Bicks.
The interesting factor to watch,
however, will be two Republicans.
One is Tom Curtis, the forthright
congressman from Missouri who
is pulling no punches in going to
bat for Bicks' confirmation. The
other is Sen. E. McKinley Dirk-
sen, the GOP Leader who, despite
Eisenhower, doesn't want Bicks
confirmed.
Dirksen has been maneuvering
so that Bicks' confirmation will
not come up before the full Sen
ate until about the last week of
this session of Congress. Then he
hopes to stall.
Johnson-McCarthy Tiekef
What makes the otherwise con
fident Kennedy camp nervous
these days is the fact that his fel
low Catholic, Sen. Eugene McCar
thy of Minnesota, is reported flirt
ing with the idea of running for
Vice President on a Lyndon John
son ticket.
McCarthy, one of the outstand
ing and most respected members
of the Senate, comes from the
farm belt and has the confidence
of both farmers and labor. He
studied for the priesthood, has a
spotless family life, and is the idol
of the liberals in both the House
and the Senate. He was one of
the organizers of the "Democratic
Study Group" in the House which
has scored such a record in push
ing through important legislation
this year.
A Johnson-McCarthy ticket, all
politicians agree, would have
great voter appeal.
Behind The Lines
Labor leaders who control the
AFL-CIO's political education
committee have agreed informal
ly that Adlai Stevenson would be
their first choice for President. As
second choice, they would accept
either Senator Kennedy or Sena
tor Symington. . .Adlai Stevenson
has told friends that if elected
President he would immediately
seek to renew talks with Premier
Khrushchev. Stevenson declared
privately that the world's most
terrible problem is to avoid nu
clear catastrophe. Somehow, some
way, he said, the world powers
must scrap their nuclear weapons.
He would not lower America's
guard, however, until he worked
out a foolproof agreement with
the Kremlin. . .Delegates to the
Republican state convention for
Massachusetts last week were
stampeded into a pro-Nixon resol
ution by Chris Herter, Jr. Rocke

resolution, but when the son of
the Secretary of State got busy,
the Rockefeller crowd didn't have
a chance.
told the House Agriculture Com-
mittee this is "an appropriate
time" to reduce the dependence
of American consumers on Cuban
sugar.
Herter noted that Cuba's sugar
production is expected to drop
while the Castro government has
made sugar sales agreements
with the Soviet Union and other
Communist nations.
Sources other than Cuba which
supply sugar to the United States
are the Philippines, Peru, Domini
can Republic, Puerto Rico and
Hawaii.
Since Herter did not directly
mention Castro s anti-American
campaign, there was no refer
ence, even implied, to use of the
sugar program for political re
prisals against Castro. But Cuba
has depended on the United States
over the years as a major buyer
of its sugar, at prices higher than
the world market levels.
Guild continues
negotiations
PORTLAND (UPD About 85
per cent of the members of the
Portland Newspaper Guild eligible
to vote Tuesday night instructed
their bargaining committee by a
vote of 56-4 to continue negotia
tions with the struck Portland
newspapers.
The Guild joined a Stereotypcr
strike movement last Nov. 10
against the Oregon Journal and
Portland Oregonian after contract
negotiations broke down.
At the same time Tuesday
night, the Guild rejected a verbal
offer of the papers as "inadequate
in that it is a major regression
of conditions under which the
Guild and management had har
monious relationships for years."
The Guild said the offer would
withdraw 15 individuals from
Guild coverage.
A Guild statement said the offer
would "remove all the present
protections against arbitrary and
capricious scheduling of working
hours, eliminate the reporterd
photographer clause . . . and pro
poses to add a no-strike, no lock
out financial responsibility
clause."
The employer offer contained
an $8 per week wage hike, the
statement said.
Grace, Rainier
in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (UPD Prin
cess Grace and Prince Rainier
of Monaco arrived here early to
day to attend the funeral of the
princess father.
The bereaved princess, dressed
in a black sleeveless dress, black
hat and black shoes, entered her
family's home in the fashionable
East Falls section of the city
after a motor trip from New
York.
Her father, John B. Kelly Sr.,
70, died of cancer at his home
Monday.
The royal couple was accom
panied by the Rev. Francis Tuck
er, spiritual adviser to the royal
family at Monaco, and Miss Phyl
lis Blum, Princess Grace's secretary.

NEW YORK (UPD The Fitch
survey in its semi-anniKU forecast
for I960 finds the current cautious
optimism a major factor in
lengthening the expansion in
business and the stock market.
The current year, it says, will
be one of continued growth, "al
though not quite duplicating the
record high pace of business dur
ing the first half of 1960.
"The American economy will
still continue on a high plateau
through the second half of 19(10,
with the administration likely to
do all it can to maintain this
prosperous state of affairs.
"Stock market prices should
continue to show vigor during the
remainder of the year, albeit -interlaced,
as usual, with inter- j
mittent periods of profit-taking." '
The survey, noting that re- '
coveries in the business cycle i
usually last about three years. I
holds that the recovery should j
carry into the middle of 1961 at !
least. ;
The survey, published weekly j
by the f itch publishing Co., is
an economic and market advisory
service.
In its current forecast edition,
it devotes sections to the various
recent market features, including
the electronics, office equipments,
"pleasure time" field, and utili
ties. Also H devotes space to what
it calls the "roiled" oils, merger
"panacea" for the rails, and
some good words for the steel
industry.
Admitting that many stocks are
too high, the survey holds that
a considerable number still is
priced reasonably, notably the
oils, steels, and chemicals.
It lists Ihe airlines and "leisure j
time groups ior uie more specu
latively inclined, and for those
with a more conservative bent
"convertible bonds provide attrac
tion, offering both reasonable
yields and protection against
higher price movements of their
common stocks."
Fitch sees a new crash program
ahead for the electronics, es
pecially in military and space
programs, but it admits difficulty
in selecting stocks in the group
where the risk has been mini
mized. It lists a few that fit tins
classification.
On office equipments, Fitch has
the following to say:
"In the world of office automa
tiona period that is being in
creasingly entered under the
energetic and development ef
forts of a myriad of apparently
dedicated companies the only
human in the office will probably
be someone whose major concern
will be that on the order of a
caretaker."
Noting that the oil companies
are hard put w ith a glut of oil and
"no appreciable near-term im
provement in sight," Fitch finds
some good news for selected oils.
The heavy supplies of oil have
accelerated development of new
uses, it says. Also expenses are
being pared wherever possible,
and efforts are being made to
ward an improved operating ef
ficiency to offset weakened
prices.
The service believes that the,
adjustment for the steel industry
which has forced operations down
sharply from earlier in the year
is nearing its end. It anticipates
some further erosion over the
next month or so followed by a
recovery, inspired by several
factors.
Among the favorable factors
for steel, Fitch lists the prospect
of an eafly return of steel buying
by automobile companies for
their 1U61 models.
It also looks for buying soon
to replace depleted steel inven
tories by consumers generally,
and it believes the industry has
made important strides toward
improved efficiency.
Under such constructive forces,
it holds, "it would appear that
the period of adjustment for the
industry is rapidly drawing to a
close, with considerably better
investment favor developing for
some of the equities."
