I nearly all types of government ITALY By Ray Moseley UPI Staff Writer ROME (UPI)-In more than 2,000 years actively on the world scene, Italy has had al most every type of government devised by man republic, em pire, the Church, monarchy, fas cist dictatorship, occupation and democracy. Less than 15 years ago, Italy disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. It still has the largest Communist party in the West- fOMMrrrpern world' ..vi V U. ( ... ; I.. : a cw uic luuiuijr la sunny 111- 'dependent, and going through a new renaissance in industry and the arts. This boot-shaped land jutting into the warm waters of the Mediterranean evokes superla tives in almost every field. Some of the greatest minds of civilization were born on its soil. They left their mark. Stub your toe while walking anywhere in Italy and you've probably uncovered an ancient temple, tomb or masterpiece of statuary. Much lies buried. But so many treasures still stand or have been re-created along with new marvels of our age. Proud Of Heritage The Italians all 50,600,000 of them are fiercely proud of their heritage and place in the sun. Italy gave birth to the Ro man Empire, which at the height of power in the second century ruled almost all of the then known world from Britain and the Iberian Peninsula in the West, Egypt in the south to part of what is now Russia in the east. Its rulers tried to wipe out Christianity at its inception. Yet, Rome became the strong hold of the new religion and has been the center of the Roman Catholic world for 1,600 years. It led Europe out of the Dark Ages beginning in the 14th cen tury, with the Renaissance the greatest flowering of creative genius the world has ever seen. But this peninsula could not weld Itself into a nation after the fall of the Roman Empire, not until 1870 94 years after the United States proclaimed its independence. Nation Of Contrail! Some people prefer to think there are two Ilalys. One Is the Italy of booming factories, skyscraper cities and a style of living similar to that in the United States. This is the rich, modern Italy of the north, centered around the cities of Turin and Milan. These northerners don't even look "Italian" most are fair skinned and even blonde. The other Italy is the "poor south" stagnating poverty and unemployment, superstitions, ig norance and social customs which have not changed since Medieval times. The teeming slums of Naples compete with dishonor with those of Sicily. Both spawn the Mafia and bandits and swarthy, unsmiling peasants who seem to be born "old" as worn out as the land they till. Most of the 10 million Ital ians who emigrated to the Uni ted States and elsewhere at the turn of the century and since fled from that Italy. For better or worse they created an image of their nation abroad. With 116,237 square miles of land area. Italy is roughly the size of Arizona. Yet its popula tion of 50.600,000 equals that of New York, California, Pennsyl vania and Michigan combined. A Farming People Despite mechanical marvels (booming automobile industry employs about 18 million per sons and one Italian in 20 owns a car) this is a largely farm ing nation wheat, corn and rice. And of course, fruit and wines. Tourism brings more than 19 million visitors to Italy each year. Also they pour an esti mated $700 million into the eco nomy. Italian fashions are an other major source of Income. Working Italians average about $24.60 a week and, except for white-collar workers, most put in a six-day, 48-hour week. Their pay is somewhat belcw the European average, but high er than it was just a few years ago. Everyone in Italy complains of prices. The new prosperity has been partially offset by a rise in living costs. The purchasing power of the lire has dropped 20 per cent in the last 10 years. An Italian has to work more than two hours for a choice steak, 40 minutes for a pack of cigarettes, 21 hours for a pair of shoes. 74 hours for a tailor made suit of average quality. It.ilians own 2.8 million tele visions sets and 2.5 million auto mohiles. They spend more money on movies than any other form of entertainment. After that, they prefer sports principally soccer. Italians in vented opera, but it ranks a poor third in popular support. Capital Report The Kennedy administration is sponsoring, in Congress, a bill which would establish a fund for the de velopment of recreation facilities on federal and state lands. The fund would come from fees charged those who use federal lands for recreation purposes. The proposal has some user groups up in arms. Naturally enough, most of the protests arise in the West. They come not because Westerners are any more enamored of outdoor rec reation than persons in any other part of the country. They come be cause so much of the available rec reation space in the West is under federal control. Rockhounds are the most vocif erous opponents to make themselves heard in the few months since the proposal first was introduced In the U.S. Senate. This is not because rockhounds are more vociferous than any other group. Nor is it be cause rockhounds can less afford to pay a fee. The protest from this group comes because rockhound publications have been circularizing more information on the proposal than most sources. Some of the pub lications have been more interested in editorializing on the subject than they have in examining the whole problem which is involved. And rockhounds are rugged types who use few facilities besides roads. The pressure on outdoor rec reation resources has been increas ing at a rate undreamed of only a few years ago. During the Great Depression the use of the great out doors for recreation purposes was limited to those with jobs, and time. Starting with the end of World War II, unprecedented numbers of per sons began to engage in various outdoor pursuits. First came fishing and hunting. Then, in ever-increasing numbers, came the skiiers, the boaters, the rockhounds, the hikers, the bird-watchers, etc., etc. Most followers of these sports require public facilities to enjoy their spare-time avocations. With spare time increasing, and the stand ard of living increasing, it's a dead cinch the pressure will grow for more and more facilities. This means more and more roads, more camp grounds, more boat-launching facili ties, more sources of public water supply, more sanitary facilities, more of almost everything. The only trouble is, the money available to construct these facilities hasn't grown as fast as the need for them. Some agencies of the federal gov ernment are doing some building, but are woefully short of funds. Some states are doing a good job; others are doing little or nothing at all. To date what has been done, by the federal government, has either been largely done under emergency make-work projects, or emergency health programs. Some work has been undertaken by placing require ments in such things as timber-sale contracts for roads, for example, which were built more to recreation standards than timber - harvest standards. Some fire roads and trails have been planned to allow a double use. But there is a growing feeling, In Congress and elsewhere, that this sort of expenditure should be made from funds collected from land users, rather than from general funds of the Treasury. The national forests, for example, belong as much to a resident of New York City as they do to a resident of Central Ore gon. It seems unfair to use the New Yorker's money to provide a boat launch ramp for a water-skier from Sisters, or Prineville, or Bend. This was the concept which led to the proposal for the user-fee type of financing for the development of recreation facilities. The proposal now before a Senate committee is the first step. There are some pro visions which are too unpalatable, perhaps, and should be changed. The committee undoubtedly will change them. It is highly unlikely, in any event, the whole thing will be thrashed out before the next Con gress convenes, in January of 19G5. Job wanted Now that it appears Mine. Nhu and her family are out of jobs in Viet Nam, those members of the family who escaped the uprising University of Oregon football will be looking for some little activ ity to pay the bills. Mme. Nhu her self might be a good bet for a reccp tionist in a butcher shop. The stadium project for the University of Oregon has stirred up some controversy. A site has been selected across the Willamette River from the main campus; but now President Arthur S. Flemming fav ors a location on or near I lay ward Field, adjacent to the campus. This worries the county people who arc planning a development on the other side of the river, fearing sale of the university's tract might lead to a conflicting use. Dr. Flemming has sought to quiet this fear. Another bogey has been raised over Portland's interest in staging big games in that city, fearing it would lose out if a new stadium is built at Eugene. A few days ago the Oregonian ravn a story by Garry Pratt, Its business editor, who had toted up the business which the Washington-Oregon game brought to the city the weekend it was play ed. The paper indicated Portland might "settle" If that game were kept in the big city, though the other games are played in Eugene, which is where President Flemming thinks they should be played. The promise of big crowds in Portland however Is tempting to the graduate manager. Our big universities find foot ball a profitable business, so much so they can finance big stadiums. The University athletic fund is well heeled, and a new stadium is in early prospect. As far as Portland is concerned if Multnomah stadium succumbs to the wrecker's ball it will have no place to stage a big football game, or league baseball either, though the latter sport is mighty short of breath in Portland now. (Oregon Statesman) r i Britain prepares Dr. Unsoeld, conqueror of Mt. Everest, w ww imc finds Peace Corps work very challenging against SukamO By A. Robert Smith Bulletin Correspondent WASHINGTON "It's tre mendously challenging," says Dr. William Unsoeld, the Ore gon State professor who con quered Mt. Everest, "and it's extremely difficult the stakes are considerable." With these words Willi Un soeld characterized not his tri umphant ascent of the great mountain but the work of his Peace Corps project in Nepal, the Asiatic buffer between Tibet and India. Since August he has been head of the Peace Corps mis sion in Nepal, having served nearly a year as deputy repre sentative, save for three months leave of absence on the Mt. Everest expedition. Currently Unsoeld is hospital ized in Bethesda Naval Medi cal Center here with hepatitis which he contracted in Nepal. There's no treatment other than complete rest, which he is now getting. In Nepal he tried to continue to direct the Peace Corps work from his hospital bed and suffered a relapse. He was flown here last week for blood and liver tests. His feet are swathed in bandages, for nine of his toes were removed in Nepal due to frostbite suf fered on the Everest climb. The project in Nepal started with 70 volunteers who concen trated on t e a c h i n g in the schools and helping farmers in outlying areas. English, home economics, science and voca tional training skills were taught in high schools. The ag- riculture effort has focused on helping improve chicken farm ing. "The native chickens are as tough as leather," said Un soeld. "You can't stick a fork into one unless it has been cooked in a pressure cooker." They have introduced a Rhode Island Red strain, work ed on developing cheap brood ers, improved chicken houses made of bamboo elevated off the ground to cut the extreme ly high mortality rate of about 80 per cent, he explained. One of his best Peace Corps volunteers was a Negro from Mississippi who said working in the outlying rural areas, with its sugar cane and chicken farms, was much like home. For some of the others, life in Nepal is very unlike home. There Is no electricity outside Katmandu, the capital; drink ing water is hand carried from a central tap; there are only outside privies; and some vol unteers live in thatched huts which they built, said Unsoeld. An additional group of 39 Peace Corps recruits arrived in October to begin working with local leaders on self-help public improvements to provide better water supply, irrigation, sanitation facilities. Foreign aid money has help ed with such projects all over the world, but Unsoeld pointed out that in the Nepal project his colleagues would be helping to foster an element of democ racy, such as it is on a primi tive scale in this absolute mon archy. This will be done by their working with the five elected elders in each village who in turn elect similar offic ials at district, zonal and na tional levels. "We hope to get them to ap preciate the potential of democ racy," said Unsoeld. "But it's extremely difficult. We're fac ing a couple of millenia of tra dition." Because of the strategic loca tion of Nepal between India and the Communist - dominated world, American efforts are re garded as especially importent. China and Russia are active in Nepal providing aid for sugar mills and tobacco processing plants. Unsoeld hopes to return to his post in December for the re mainder of his two-year hitch which runs until September, 1964. After that his intention presently is to return to the fa culty at Oregon State, where he is an assistant professor of phil osophy and religion. Ironically. Unsoeld got into this field, aft er majoring in physics as an OSU undergraduate, because he decided, on a mountain climb ing trip in India in 1948, to be come a missionary. He return ed to school for a bachelor's de gree in divinity and a doctorate in philosophy but he doesn't expect ever to be a formal mis sionary. "My strengths are in teach ing," he said. "But the Peace Corps is doing the same thing as the missionaries. We are testifying to our faith by per forming social development work in the country where we serve." Washington Mcrry-go-rounld Elections offer barometer of Kennedy's popularity By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON Within the next thirty-six hours John F. Kennedy will be able to read a fairly accurate barometer of how much reelection opposition he will face in November, 1964. The barometer will be in the form of city and state elections in which Republicans, more hopeful as a result of civil rights infighting among Demo crats and a possible Washing ton Profumo scandal, will do their best to knock the Demo crats for a loop. Traditionally the signs of de feat or victory can be detected in mid-term elections one year in advance, sometimes two years in advance. That was why the President worked so hard in last year's congression al elections and came out amazingly well. But next week It may be a different story. Here is the roll call of key election battles and how they are likely to turn out: Kentucky Republicans, who recently elected a Louisville mayor for the first time in thirty years, are campaigning all-out to elect Louis B. Nunn as governor in this normally Democratic state. They arc en couraged by the Democratic split between Gov. Bert Combs and the ebullient ex - governor Happy Chandler. However, Happy's bitter at tack on three of his old friends, Joe Leary, Henry Lee Water field, and Mac Walters, for supporting the Democratic candidate, Ned Breathitt, has soured a lot of Chandlcrites, and the chances are strong that the Democratic ticket will win. Philadelphia This will be the most important JKK barometer in the nation. For eleven years Philadelphia has been under Democratic mayors after some 75 years of Republican rule. Two of the Democrats, Sen. Joe Clark and Richardson Dilworth, injected new vitality into the elderly and somewhat decrepit citv. But Mayor James 11. J. Tate, who inherited the job when Dil worth retired to run for gover nor, has been a hard-luck ex ecutive and the big 331,000 ma jority which swung the tide to Kennedy in 1060 lias dwindled until it's now anybody's race. This time the Republicans have divided the heavy Catholic vote by running James T. Mc Dermott against Tate, thus pit ting two Irish Catholics against each other. Whichever wins, this will be the first time a Catholic has been elected may or of the Quaker city. Latest hard luck to befall Tate has been a picket line of firemen, demanding higher pay and for a time proposing to wear Ku Klux Klan hoods to prevent their identification. It's anybody's race in Phila delphia, but whoever wins, the 331,000 margin by which Ken nedy won last time will evapor ate. San Francisco This Is an other test case of Democratic strength in a state which Ken nedy has to win to get re-elected. Here Jack Shelly, a popu lar Democratic congressman and former head of the Team sters, had gone home expecting a walk-away victory. Just the opposite has been the case. Harold Dobbs, Republican, serving as acting mayor under George Christopher, has made surprising headway, and the race could go either way tomor row. Mississippi For the f I r s t time since reconstruction days, the Republicans are seriously pushing a candidate: Rubel Phillips, a Goldwater conserva tive with plenty of Texas oil money behind him. Mississippi elections don t us ually mean much. The battle is between Democratic factions in the primary. But this time Democrats are snapping out of their November lethargy to vote for Lt. Gov. Paul Johnson, an unreconstructed segregation ist, who won headlines in t h e "Ole Miss" dispute. He will un doubtedly win which will be no victory for Kennedy. The Texas Right Wing In the t w o congressional races, the Republicans will win with Albert W. Johnson in the 23rd district of Pennsylvania, while the Democrats will cap ture the seat of liberal Demo crat Homer Thornberry of Aus tin. Tex. The interesting phase of this race will be how much support is rolled up by Frank B. Mc Gchee, an organizer of the Na tional Indignation Convention and one of the recent hecklers of Adlai Stevenson in Dallas. McGehee is now running for Congress. So is Jim Dobbs, for mer "life line" employee of right - wing oilman, H. L. Hunt. However, the two top Texas candidates will probably be J. J. Pickle, a conservative back er of Vice President Johnson; and Jack Ri'.'.er, backed by Ne gro - labor and liberal voters. There will be a run-off. There are the key races to watch tomorrow. On their out come will depend how much of a battle John F. Kennedy faces one year from this week. Municipal Merry-Co-Round Here is how other city elec- Columbia ports are urged for wheat shipments WASHINGTON (UPI) - Rep. Walter Norblad, R-Ore., has re quested the Department of Com merce to use ports on the Co lumbia River in the routing of wheat bound for Russia. Norblad made the request in a letter to Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges. The Oregon Re publican stressed the facilities available at river ports and the experience of longshoremen in the handling of grain shipments. "Wheat and wheat products account for a major portion of the Northwest's agricultural out put," he said in the letter. "And it would be of advan tage to all concerned if a sub stantial portion of the wheat be ing sold to the Soviet Union is routed through the Columbia River ports of Astoria and Portland and Longview and Vancouver, Wash.," he wrote. tions shape up around the na tion: Mayor John Collins, Demo crat, will be re-elected in Bos ton. . .Mayor J. Bracken Lee, ultra right - wing Republican, will be re-elected in Salt Lake City. . . Democrat Mayor Richard C. Lee will win again in New Ha ven. . .Mayor Lewis W. Cutrer, a Democrat, will be re-elected for a fourth term as mayor of Houston. . . In Akron, Ohio, Mayor Ed ward O. Erickson, Democrat, is expected to win over Even J. Ward, Republican. . .The race in Indianapolis is close between Republican Clarence T. Drayer and Democrat John J. Barton, the former chief of S t a t e Po lice. . . In Columbus, Ohio, Maynard Sensenbrenner, Democratic ma yor for two previous terms, is expected to stage a comeback over the Republican incumbent, Ralston Westlake. By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Writer Notes from the foreign news cables: SUKARNO: Britain is getting set to draw a line against any further ex pansionist aims which may be entertained by Indonesian Presi dent Sukarno. British diplomats believe that Sukarno plans to press ahead with his campaign against the new Malaysian fed eration and some believe he dreams of an Indonesian em pire stretching from Singapore to the borders of Australia. Britain's decision to strengthen the Far Eastern fleet with two missile ships is part of a policy now being put into operation. NORTH AFRICA: French officials are frankly skeptical about the effectiveness of the Algerian-Moroccan cease fire pact. It is obvious, they say, that the two nations are in sharp conflict on the evacua tion of military positions held at present. A renewal of the fighting is not ruled out in Paris. The situation is further complicated by the sharp per sonal differences between Mo rocco's King Hassan II and Al gerian Premier Ahmed Ben Bel la, and the military aid being extended the latter by Egypt. RED DILEMMA: Sources close to the Japanese foreign office say that Commu nist China today finds herself caught up in one of those con tradictions that are supposed to afflict only the non-Communist world. She feels she must rebel against the "soft" Russians or lose the forward momentum of her own revolution. This policy has cost her the Soviet aid she so badly needs. Hence her re vived interest in trade with the West which in Communist eyes is a desperate interest in deed. DE GAULLE: If French President Charles de Gaulle really intends to make all the international ex cursions reported under consid eration for the coming year, he will be a very busy man. He already has been reported plan ning a visit to Latin Ameri can nations, and possibly top ping that trip off with a visit to Washington and a confer ference with President Kennedy. Now preparations are also being made for a De Gaulle visit to New Delhi. Some say the In dian trip even could come be fore the first of the year. TIE-UP: Wednesday's scheduled walk out by workers in France's state-owned electrical industry is likely to cause the biggest industrial tie-up in France since the nationwide strikes last spring. All electric commuter railroad services, Paris subway services and hundreds of indus trial plants will be hit. Barbs The fellow who doesn't have the ambition to begin is the first to criticize a quitter. In some homes life is full of stumbling blocks if the baby who got them for his birthday isn't taught to pick them up. Most watches and a lot of women are self-winding. v As far as some couples are concerned all during the show at a drive-in theater is intermission.
