MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, .MEDFOKD. OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1935. PAGE FrVK OF RIFFS WEARY OF UFEON ISLE Abd-el-Krim Breaks Nine Year Silence With Hint Will Be Good If French Permit Retrun To Haunts PARIS (AP) Abd-el-Krim, erst while troublesome war lord of the Riffs In Morocco, haa broken nine years of silence with word that he la weary of his exile on the Isle of Reunion. He hint he will be good If the French will aet him free. Almost as proud as in the days when he was riding high in his campaign to drive the Spanish out of Morocco, the mountain chieftain haa made no formal supplication for a pardon. , He merely has let it be known that he always really was fond 01 the French and has been a greatly misunderstood man. Took Harem Alone Abd-el-Krim was permitted to take his harem Into exile with him his family at present numbers 3b persons but even bo, he says, lite on the torrid tiny isle in the Indian ccean Is very boresome for an active person like himself. He has a commodious mansion and a pension of about $7,000 a year from the French government, but with prices what they are and a family of 36 to support, his domes tic problems are almost as trying as the climate and the boredom, . he says. Vowing to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the Span iards, Abd-el-Krim assumed leader ship of the turbulent tribes of the Riff a mountainous section south of Spanish Morocco and attacked the Spaniards, besting them con sistently for almost live years and driving them to the coast. Error Attacked French His successes contributed to the Internal strife In Spain which led to the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. He set up a Riff republic with himself as head and attempted to obtain recognition from Spain, France and England by offering mining concessions. And he dream ed of conquering all of Morocco, both Spanish and French, and mak ing himself the sultan of a new Mohammedan nation. In 1925 he made the mistake oi attacking the French. He found the French colonials and foreign legion more difficult to deal with and soon was pushed back into the mountains, where hla own men de serted him and he was compelled to surrender. Four months later he was deport ed to Reunion an isle which France reserves for prisoners of lofty station. Among those exiled there in the past were Hanh-Tal. emperor ol Annam, in French Indo-Chlna: Ran avalona, queen of Madagascar; and Ursule de Machimba, princess or the Comoro islands.

LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) Munching white bread again after a regimen of war-time substitutes. Bolivia Is drafting ambitious reconstructive projects, including a 200-mlle canal at an altitude 12,000 feet above sea level. Since the three-year war with Paraguay over the Oran Chaco re gion ended by armistice in June. President Tejada Sorzano and his advisers have drawn up a "new deal" program which, if carried out, will transform Bolivia's eco nomic face. It includes: Canalization of the Rio Desagua dero from Oruro. lofty South Ameri can tin capital, for 200 miles to Lake Tltlcaca. to enable ore ship ments to the world's highest nav igable lake and export by way ol Peruvian railways. Power nnrt Ralls Planned A vast hydro-electric and irriga tion project to harness the waters of Titlcnca, altitude 12,500 feet, supply energy for a great section of the Bolivian plateau, and pump water to Irrigate the surrounding country for growing wheat and other cereals which Bolivia now Im ports. Railroads from the plateau to bring the oil and agricultural pro duce of the eastern lowlands to the mountain mining region, where most of Bolivia's buying power is concentrated. The eastern provinces, Benl and Santa Cruz, are living in poverty because they have lacked a market for their products. This was one ot the reasons for Bolivia's claim to an outlet on the Paraguay river through the Chaco. and while Bol ivian peace conference delegates press its arguments for a gateway to the Atlantic, the La Paz govern ment hopes to give the distressed provinces a . home market in the western mountains. Bolivia's financial situation may permit an Immediate start on only a few of the works, but the whole program is expected eventually to take definite shape. The war taught Bolivia an conomlc lesson she has been buying great supplies of staples while her own agricultural products have been shut off from home mar kets by lack of communications. Vision World's Highest Canal Digging of the world's highest canal and extension of the plateau railroads down through the Yungaa. subtropical valleys notched in the eastern slope of the Andes, to the lowland farm and oil regions to the east probably will be done by gov ernment effort. The Lake Tltlcaea power project, however, is to be developed by Mau rlcio Hochschlld. capitalist wltn wide Interests in Bolivia, under a government concession. President Tejada Sorzano In a recent press conference said that he expected the project to develop 100.000 horse power, enough energy to run all the Bolivian railways. More than C2S.000.000 will be needed to build the electric power works, which will pump water from the lake to the precipice of Serata mountain for conversion Into en ergy. Under the government's plan, the Hochschlld interests will have five years to build the plant. The American Grace company, with shipping and other interests on the Pacific coast. Is projecting a pumping system to u 1 1 1 ize t he lake for irrigation. President Tejada Sorzano revealed. Lowland! Want Hallroails While the plateau follows these projects with eagerness, attention of, the lowland country to the east and north Is centered on the rail road plana. Under one project, it is hoped that a railway will extend from La Paz. through the Yungas, to the northern province of Benl. rich in tropical fruits, timber, rubber nuts and oils. Another project would carry the Potosi railway line eastward to the old capital of Sucre, then down the Andean slopes to the lowland coun try, through rich cattle land, clear to the oil region of Camirl near the western edge of the Chaco. All this will take millions, but Dr. Tejada Sorzano proposes to start by building roadbeds which can be used by motor trucks until the rails can be laid.

C (8pl One of the most Important flag changes since the World war took place re cently when the swastika banner was made the official national flag of Germany. A bulletin from the Washington. D. C, headquarters of the National Geographic society de scribes the nev flag and tells ot the German emblems that preced ed it. "The new German flag," says the bulletin, "Is a black swastika in a circle of white on a field of red. It replaces the black, white, and red tricolor which was first flown In 1B67 as the flag of the North German Confederation. Its colors combine the red and white of the Haneatlc league and the black and white of Prussia. "These remain the official colors of the Reich. Red and white sup posedly standing for commercial prosperity, and black and white (part of the Hohenzollern arms) for military strength. King Changed Many Times "The German empire kept the tricolor as a merchant flag and In troduced the Imperial flags wltji the famous black eagle. After the World war, when Germany became a republic, black, red. and gold were made the federal colors. The old black, white, and red merchant flnR was still ised. but with ' the new rolors in the upper. Inside corner. As for the imperial black eagle, he was deprived of his crown, his sceptre, and his orb, given red legs and a red beak instead, and flown ns the bird of the Reich. "When Adolf Hitler came Into power in 1033 things were changed again. The red. black, and gold flag reminded him of Germany's defeat, so he abolished it and decreed the black, white and red tricolor Ger many's national flag. Tricolor Gone Now "He alnn ordered that the swas tika banner of the Nazi party should always be flown beside the tricolor, saying that 'these flags unite the glorious past of the German Relcn with the vigor and rebirth of the German race. Let them fly together as a symbol of the power of the state and the Internal unity of all national sections of the German people!' "Now the tricolor is, gone and the emblem of the Nazi party is supreme in Germany. "The swastika, or hooked cross, has been used as design and symbol since prehistoric times. It appears on Celtic stones in Britain, in Buddhist Inscriptions, in the ruins of Troy, and in the monasteries ol Tibet. The German swastika is left handed: that Is. the arms, bent at right angles . to the cross, are turned to the left.' for Mildness forBetter Taste V- ' DIGEST'S POLL ON Five States in South and West Give Total of 40,- Votes With 53.28 Cent Against F. R. Per By n RfKir.lt (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Nov. 22. (UP) -First returns in the Literary Digest poll of new dcol sentimrnt show 53.28 per cent negative votes to the question: "Do you approve the acts and pol icies of tho Roosevelt new deal to date?" The returns, to be published in Sat urday's Issue of the weekly, totaled 40,053 votes from five states in the south and west. They are the first batch of a 10.000.000 ballot straw vote, taken in An attempt to forecast the IP36 presidential election. President Roosevelt's "other home state" of Georgia, and Oklahoma gave the new deal majorities In first tabu lations. Iowa. Kansas and Missouri, the other states in the first group, rejected the administration. Other Pulls Accurate. Editors of the magazine said 500.000 ballots a day were being sent out this week to the 48 states. In previous similar polls, the magazine's straw vote has been remarkably accurate in forecasting election results. For ex ample, the poll forecast the shatter ing of the "solid south" in the 1028 Hoover-Smith contest. A previous poll on the new deAl. to practli-ally the same voters in the pprlng of 1034 showed a national sen tlment of 61.15 for the administra tion to 38 85 against It, a larger per. centne of popular approval for the president than he received with 59.15 of the official Roosevelt-Hoover votes in the 103 election. Oeora; i a 'a Initial repress n t a t lo n of 3047 votes in the current poll showed 2778 indorsing the new deal to 1169 hostile ballots. The percentages are 70.38 yes and 29.62 no. In the 1934 poll the division was 82.43 yes and 17.57 no. "This, at first glace might Indi cate to some observers a loss in new deal popularity." the editors comment. "Possibly they will associate It with the attacks on the new deal by Geor gia's governor, Eugene Talmadge. No Definite Conclusion. "However, the Digest repeats that It would be futile, at this at.ie of the poll, to attempt to draw def.nite conclusions." Iowa, with 17,756 votes cast, showed 10.447 against the new deal a per centage of 41.16 yes and 58 84 no compared to a favorable vote for Roosevelt in last year's poll. The tabulation shows that In Kan sas Roosevelt's popularity has de clined since 1934 to 44.37 per cent, on the basis of 4218 ballots cast. Mis souri so far has returned 11.779 bal lots, of which 46.82 per cent are for the ne deal. Both states voted for Rootevelt in 1932. Returns from Oklahoma, totaling 2353 votes to date, show 5206 per cent supporting the present national administration and its polices. BUCKINGHAM'S CHOCOLATE CREAMS. Reg. 50c lb. Special 85o lb.
