The staff member is Bob 8mlth, who covers speflallzed news out of Washington for this and several ether Oregon newspapers. Here's what the Oregon Statesman, of Salem, bad tq say on the subject: There arc a good many "apeciaj cur. repom)ctls" in Washington men and ' uomen who stni the particular ntatjt of tpeuifiq newspapers, as differed, from tin roportor for the, great ncvauire unices who of necessity must center their major attention an Hal, national and world ia sues of vital interest to everyone.

There seems to be little partisanship here. Diem clops have one thorn in his side, in his sister-in-law, Mme. Ngo Dihn Nhu, whose clever wittic isms against the Buddhists continue to kindle the fire. So far, Diem has shown an inability to - keep her quite. . . .

Leader of Haiti rebels using Castro tactics By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Writer High, razor-back mountain rid ges cut the border between Haiti and tho Dominican Republic which togctlier share the island of Hispaniola. The ridges are not high enough to be 6 now , covered but high enough to discourage the palm. -Aod in densely populated Haiti, even the tops of these inhospita, ble ridges are inhabited by peas ant families, eking out a bare ex istence on tiny plots handed down from father to son for the better part of 800 years. Their telegraph line is- the torn torn. From ihose rugged piounlains, Haitian rebel leader Gen, Veon Canlavc. fighting in the manner of Castro against Batista in the early days of the Cuban revolt, hopes to bring down the dictator ship of President Francois Duva lier wlip jkcs to be known as .''Papa Do' , ... . So far It has been S war of conflicting claims, charges and denials. In the excitement of Cantave's first strike on Aug. 9, rebel sources jubilantly fixod h I strength at 5o men. That nurn bor finally dwindled to 100 or ' perhaps as few as 13 or 20. Charges. Botch Aid !u the Organization of Ameri can States, the Duvalier govern- j mcnt charged, that Cantave's in vasion had been aided and abet ted by the neighboring Domini can government of President Juan Bosch who last May threat, ened to carry out an invasion of ; hit own against Haiti. The Dominicans denied the charge. For the United States, the tit- -nation was an embarrassment. It has no love for Duvalier but on the other .hand docs not want 1 Bosch accused of intervention. In the total breakdown of Hair lian communications there alsu was concern for hc ?afoty of scattered American families, wives and families of some of whom had been permitted to re turn to Haiti only days before. For both Duvalier nnd his enemy, Cantave, )ere wqre (ns tratjons. If Cantave had expected Haiti's beaten-down peasantry tq flock to his colort, he was dis appointed for the Haitian peasan try. will go only with a euro win ner, , ; , ' But Cantave, a professlonfil sol dier who fought the dictatorial ambitions of both Duvalier and his predecessor Paul E. Magloire, is popular with the Haitian army, a fact which made the army less than reliable for Duvalier. . Further, if rebel claims to havp shot down a Haitian air force plane are true, then Duvalier has lost exactly half of his air force. Duvalier himself showed little disposition tq take on Cantave In the northeastern mountains from which the rebels appeared, to be operating. Instead, it appeared to be Du valier't hope that he can tit tight in Port au Prince until hit gov ernment "sneculalnrs" can bring in on expected $30 million from the coffee crop in Octnher.

MAILS: WORLD'S BIGGEST BU SINESS (3) " , Dogs sometimes 'stay' couriers from svift completion of appointed rounds By tUrry Ferguson UPI Stiff Writer WASHINGTON UPJ - Hie VS. Post Olfice Department has a sort of combined motto and pep talk which it lilted from the Greek historian, Herodotus, and put on the front of the New ' York post office: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their ap pointed rounds." What frequently does stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds it a dog. Also a woman. The department talks freely about the dog problem, and the supervisor's safety handbook lor postmen says under section 188 that "carriers should neither an tagonize nor attempt to pet dogs." Gets Ne Counsel Nowhere it there advice anil counsel on what the postman should do when a woman invites him to put down his mail sack and come in for cup of et flee. But it la a real problem and a postman of about 10 years experi ence told about it after exacting a strict pledge that he would re main anpnymous: "A lot of these women are just the motherly type. You know, it't raining and. they feel sorry for you and they want to give you some hot coffee and maybe toast. They don't cause much trouble because you can always tell them yoq'ra late and have to keep going to get your whole pouch of mail delivered. "Then there's the other kind. You could call them lonesome. They're waiting at the door every time yog deliver the mail. If you turn them down on a cup of cof fee, then they tell you to come inside because one of their letters hat been lost and they want to talk about it. I always tell them to give me a written memoran dum, btlt most pf the time they dpn't buy that. Sometimes they get real tough and lay they're going to report ma to the depart , ment if I don't come inside. No body has repotted me 56 far, bit you never can tell. fc" Washington MeiTotroundi : r Drew meets for progress By Drew Paarton GAGRA, Georgia, U.S.S.R. Premier Nikita, Khauslichev has informed me, in the first exclu sive interview after the test ban treaty, that the Soviet would pro ceed with arms reduction wheth er the United States reduced or not. "In the field of economics he will compete with you, but we don't compete with you on war preparation," he said. The interview took; place near tho dark blue waters of the Black Sea beside Khrushchev's beauti ful swimming pool which be dem onstrated to Mrs. Agnes Meyer who participated in the interview. The Communist leader was very frank, friendly a.nd careful to say nothing which might upset the new era of better understanding between the USA and the USSR. Ho also discuscd Berlin, possi ble summit meeting, the late Pope John and prevention of sur prise attack. Hit statement on unilateral dis armament parne after I recalled a previously published admonition by President John F. Kennedy to Air Forco General Curtis LeMay that genoiwls did not need the rapacity to destroy Russian cities several thousand times. "General lMay knows full well his capac ity fa- pverkill," replied Khrush chev using Pentagon parlance for estimating the overkilling of an enemy, "but he's under pres sure from the arms monopolies which are trying to get as many war ordeit at possible. "Regardless of whether the Uni ted States stops increasing its arms budget or not we are going to stop increasing ours because wo have enough of all these things. You have a lot of dollars and you can go on spending but we will not do that In the eco nomic field, we will compete with you. but we won't compote with you in war preparation. "I U!k President Kennedy said Ilia United States could de stroy tlie Soviet Union several tunes: I can't remember how many times. He also said the So viet Union eould destroy the Uni ted State several timet. Now. isn't this convincing proof that the anil race, is absurd? , "Even without an agreement with tlie United States, we are not going to spend all this money on gnus. For lH. we will have an arm bucHut at the same level wou W Meyert, Clrc Manager William A Yates, Managing Ed. IIH at n imn t .no ia. mIIj Uti tMtXaia t.at4aL tf "It's easy to spot Die danger ous ones. Usually they're wearing a kimono or something like that and have tlieir faces made up as if Utcy were going to a Satur day night dance. When you see one like that, brother, you better run. "I'm not saying there are lota of them on niy route, but Uiere arc enough to cause trouble. But I hear things are even worse for people like television repair men, telephone company workers and fellows who tell things door to door. Those guys got to go inside the house to do their job. Me, I . can always stand at the door and say no." Unfortunately, there it no way a postman can say no to a dog which is rushing at him with every intention of biting. About 7.000 posurien were bitten by dogs last year, and the worst offend ers were Doliermans, cockers, Pekingese and terriers. Spots Dangerous Ont Tho Post Office Department knows it's walking a tight rope. It wants to protect the postmen, but it faces tho wrath of millions of American dog lovers. The first attempted solution was to advise the owner of any dog that bit a postman that hereafter he would have to pick his mail up at the post office. That didn't work be cause it developed that many postmen were being bitten by stray dogs. Now an experiment is in pro gress in Detroit. Miami, Balti more and San Francisco where the postmen have been armed with an aerosol capsule called Halt. It is loaded with mineral oil and an extract of cayenne pepper and was developed at the Univer sity of Georgia. When a postman is about to be attacked, he squirts Halt at the dog. The department says the pre liminary results are encouraging: "Hie sprayed dog does not cry out. He merely puts his tail be tween his legs and beats n hasty retreat. In most cases, after one or two experiences with Halt, the dog never again attacks the user. "While an animal obviously has been made uncomfortable for a Nikita, talks about need in world disarmament , of 1063 or even less, and in 1965 we will probably reduce alloca tions for the military even furth er. "I will tell you about an epi sode which occurred about two years ago when we were discuss ing the reduction of arms. This was a discussion inside our own government," Khrushchev ex plained. "Some said it was better to link arms reduction with the disarmament talks in Geneva, but we finally told our people it was better to handle it unilaterally be cause if we tied arms reduction to ' the talks at Geneva, we would never get anywhere. "This is what happened. The Geneva talks are still going on but we've reduced arms Unilater ally. We've save fantastic funds and our fire-powor is not weaker. It is greater." "The military," Khrushchev concluded, "some times don't know when to stop." The above appears to confir .t reports that Khrushchev was having arguments with Red Ar my leaders. He gave me a hint of this when he told me two years ago that military leaders wanted to resume nuclear testing. It was also reported after tlie Cuban cri sis that it was the Red Amy Other pens , . , Twisting A group of Senators has come up with a new twist on the famil iar arguments for import restric tions. It seems that the shoe in dustry is troubled by foreign com petition so the Senators, doubt less at industry urging, are ask ing tlie President to back quotas on imports of foreign-made shoes. Part of the Senators' plea runs along usual lines. ''There are more than 1.300 shoe factories in some 600 American communities." lays Senator Muskie of Maine, the head of the group. "Continued for eign imports at the rate of the past eight years will inevitably tee. . .the loss of jobs for Ameri can workers." But Mr. Mtiskie's argument goes beyond that. If the Govern ment w ill only protect the domes tic shoe industry, ho says in ef fect. U.S. shoe manufacturers w ill not only do better domestically but will "play their full part in building a vigorous, expanding American eport market." An ingenious theory, you must taree. even if a bit hard to fol low Here Is on industry which admit its inability to compete with foreicn goods on its home grounds: if sheltered from tint competition, it ia somehow going to be a more vigorotu competitor oversea. On that basis, we wouldn't care to bo In lit thoet when it tries to walk over the foreigners in the'r own markets: -Wall Street Jiw--nal ) short period of time, there are no lasting effects to the eyes or any other portion of the face. Within 10 to 15 minutes tlie ef fect of Halt has worn off and tlie dog returns to normal. Halt leaves a yellowish coloration on the dog's hair which is remov able by washing." Ten per cent of all dog bites cause injuries which force post men to lose work time, and last year the department says the total cost was $800,000. Even to. the department "did not plunge into the Halt experiment rashly. It informed the American Kennel Club, tlie American Humane As sociation, tlie Popular Dogs Pub lishing Co., and tlie Humane So ciety of tlie United Stales, and In vited suggestions and co-operation. Tlie trial period for Halt ia about over and by Labor Day there may hi i decision as to whetlier it will become 1 perma nent weapon in Die postal arsen al. Any time the Post Office De partment is accused of being anti-dog, it tells the story of Owney, the post office dog, who was mounted and Is now on display in the Smithsonian Institution. Own ey showed up at the Albany, N.Y., post office in 1888 and be gan taking out of town trips with the mail sacks. Tlie' clerks put an identification tag around Own ey's neck and he began traveling all over the country. One day he got aboard a mail steamer in Tacoma, Wash., and went around the world in 132 days. In Japan, the Mikado gave Owney a canine passport and he collected what the department calls "200 medaU and certifi cates." He was considered lucky because no train nor ship on wtich Owney was riding ever had an accident. If this doesn't convince critics of the Post Office Department's dog policy, the story then is told of how Owney died on the streets of Toledo. Ohio, in 1807. Another dog attacked and Owney not be ing equipped with Halt fought back unto death. (Temerrewi Junk mailt who tends It and why). which Insisted on placjng missiles in Cuba. Nikki Can't Understand JFK Khrushchev was in an entirely different mood then, when we talked beside the same swimming pool two years ago. That was right after his abortive talk with Ken nedy in Vienna, when he was greatly concerned over Kennedy dispatching additional -U.S. troops to West Germany and hit increas ed budget for long-range bombers. At that time Khrushchev had told me, "I can't understand your young Mr, Kennedy. He has in creased his military budget twice tince he came into office. How ever, for every American soldier he sends to West Germany, we can send two to East Germany for we are closer than you." This time, however, Nikita Scrgeavitch, as he is affectionate ly called by the Russian people, was far more friendly to Ken nedy. When I asked him about the " possibility of inviting Kennedy to Moscow ha indicated Ji's ws -up . to Kennedy. "I don't think I can give you a direct reply," he said. "There is another party which should be asked first." Regarding a summit meeting, he continued, "1 never object to one provided the intentions of tlie participants ara good." I shall report on Khrushchev's views on Berlin and steps for in creasing better rolations between the USA and USSR tomorrow.

Aid in fund drive to get bus sought To tlie Editor: As a former member of the Bend Swim Team I would like to write a few words regarding the need of a bus for the transporta tion of youths involved in summer and winter sports activities that are not considered school affairs. Three years ago about this same time of year I was driving a group of swimmers to The Dal les for a swim meet. There It al ways tlie problem of getting enough cars and enough qualified drivers to go on any certain weekend to a swim meet. As it was our car was loaded with eight swimmers. En route we had au unavoidable accident in which luckily no one was killed, but I suffered a broken neck. Three oilier swimmers suffered minor injuries, enough u keep them . from participating in the next few meets. A week ago a more tragic ac cident occurred in which Mrs. Joan Hoffman wat killed and oth er passengers in her car serious ly injured. Her two daughters, Joan and Martha were orphaned by this accident at the age of 14 and 12. I feel as do the members and parents of tlie swim team that a bus is needed very badly. For the swim team as well as the ski team. As these activities are not considered school affairs permis sion is not granted for the use of school buses. Many times the cars driven to the swim meets are driven by in experienced drivers in regard to highway travel, as was my case. The older members of the team often felt obligated to drive fail ing to mention that they've have never had much, if any experi ence of on the road driving. . I feel that a but it heavier, and if involved hi an accident, is not at likely to cause serious in jury to the passengers. Traveling as one group would solve many problems encountered parent wise and accident wise. A re sponsible driver would be driving the bus and tho parents would be free of the worry as to whom there child was riding with. As a result of this tragic acci dent a week ago, a campaign is finally being started to raise funds for a bus. We would all appre ciate your support in this fund raising campaign.
