Lion or me Anas
May Be Man Behind
Uprising in Morocco
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
There seems good reason to
believe that old Abd El Krim,
"The Lion of the Atlas," is the
man behind
the new Arab
up r i s i n g in
French Mo
rocco. If so, the
French govern
ment may face
face a grim
situation for a
long time.
For El Krim
has dedicated
marles .uccai.u nis me ior
more than 30 years to winning
total independence not only for
his native Morocco but for all of
French North Africa.
He has not been in Morocco
since 192S But his name is still
one to conjure with.
Statements are now being
issued in Cairo saying that in
dependence for all of French
- North Africa is the aim of the
. Moroccan rebels.
The statements are sponsored
by a "North African Liberation
Committee" which has its head
quarters in Caird? n
, It is in Cairo that exiled El
Krim is living as the guest of the
Egyptian government. French
authorities are becoming con
vinced that he is directing ..the
center. ' '. .
Organized Army
A spokesman for the center
said on Tuesday that the rebels
in Morocco and Algeria, adjoin
ing it on the East, are now fight
ing as a unified, organized "lib
eration army."
. ' He said that the present up
rising is commanded by an un
derground general stuff,
pispatches from Morocco
. have emphasized that the rebels
who are fighting in El Krim's
old territory, near the border of
Spanish Morocco, are smartly
uniformed, well armed and ex
pertly organized. " :
There has been fighting in
French North Africa for some
years.
But the present uprising in
Morocco is the first organized
one in that protectorate since
El Krim led his warriors against
Spain . and then France in the
1920s. " .
Abd El Krim is old now 72 or
73 and his short, thick beard is J
white. His limp, the result of a
broken leg he suffered in a leap
years ago from a Spanish Moroc
can cell window, is more pro
nounced?. But his short body is still
sturdy and he still has the burn
ing eyes of a fanatic.
Military Victories
It was in 1921 that the name
of Abd El Krim first became
known around the world. He led
his Riff tribesmen in a rebellion
against Spain. He routed the
Spanish Moroccan army.
The impact on Spain was 'ter
rific. A military dictatorship
was formed, and indirectly the
revolt led to the overthrow of
King Alfonso XIII.
El Krim turned his attentions
to French Morocco. He finally
was defeated in 1926 by France
and Spain together.
France exiled him- to Reunion
Island in the Indian Ocean.
It made the mistake, in 1947,
of easing up on him, and decided
to install him and bis retinue of
wives, concubines and aides on
the sunny French Riviera. He
got off his ship at Cairo, and
stayed there.
Farmers Straighten
Kinks in River
Foosland,' 111. (U.R) Along
with regular farm work, Ernest
Meredith and his two sons are
straightening out the Sangramon
river.
Meredith and tHe boys, Glenn
and Bob, decided the winding
river, which cuts across their
farm, was taking up too much
valuable landv ,
So they got a' second - hand
bulldozer and proceeded to
straighten out the kinks in the
river, which makes six right an
gle turns in on of their 180-acre
fields.
The Merediths expect to have
the course of the river straight
ened out by next year. And they
expect the job to increase the
value of their farm of 320 acres
by $100 an acre while making
another 60 or 70 acres of land
tillable. :
A Niehol's Worth of
Comment1 On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Pruf tat Wrir
NEWS EXECUTIVE BURIED
New York (U.R) Funeral ser
vices were held here today for
Maj. Gen. Julius Ochs Adler,
62, first vice-president and gen
eral manager of the New York
Times.
, Washington (U.R) The most
wonderful thing about a new
collection of famous poker stories
is that there is
in jm 1 1 i;vm no copy by la
dies.
Jerry D.
Lewis, an old
poker player
who got up the
book, refused
to include any
chapters writ
ten by women.
As he put it:
"An author
Hartnan Nichol ought to know
something about his subject."
Quite properly, the book -is
called "Dealer's Choice," which
has nothing to do with the play
ers, who only play straight stud
or draw poker time and again
around the round table.
Jerry does, however, give one
lady credit, except that maybe
up to this 'point nobody ever
knew she was from the weaker
side. It was way back there when
Spalding's Home Library put out
a volume on poker. It was au
thored by A. Howard Cady, and
the "A" stood for Alice. Now her
secret is out.
This friend Lewis has a foun
dation of information. He re
calls the , time that President
Grant sent one Robert Cumming
Schenck to be U.S. envoy to Eng
land. Little did Grant know that
his emissary was a bug on poker.
Anyhow, Queen Victoria invited
Schenk to her summer home for
a hoe-down with the higher-ups.
A Little Game
The envoy worked it around
to a point where he suggested a
game of poker, which is one thing
the Russians didn't invent. The
queen thought that was a good
idea. One thing led to,-another
and Queen Vic wound up the
evening with a bundle, in pounds
and such.
She thought so much of the
game and of the envoy from Ihe
states that she asked him to
write a book of rules on poker.
He did, but it got him in a mess
of trouble. In his book Schenk
said: .
"It is a great object to mystify
your adversaries up to the call,
when hands will be shown. To
this end, it is a good practice to
talk a little nonsense, with the
view to misleading your oppon
ents as to the value of your
hand." "
Some folks thought this was
no way for the U.S. ambassador
to the Court of St. James to talk.

JOHNSTON '.'STORES
. There were calls from all to
the White House demanding the
recall of our Schenk. But he sur
vived the protests, thanks to the
queen. She let the word get
around that she, as a beginner
and early winner, thought his
book was darned good poker ad
vice.
I particularly like the chapter
by the late Bob Benchley, the
lovable funny man.
Something Different
He dearly loved dancing girls
but didn't much care for the
poker playing kind. He found
himself involved in a party in his
own house,' where he had fur
nished the liquor and barbecued
suckling pigs. Generally, Bob
related, he was shooed out of the
house when games came along
Things like write1 everything
down you can think of that starts
with a "W." One night somebody
mentioned poker.
- Benchley put on his best poker
manners and decided to stick
around. First time around the
game, with women aboard, the
dealer suggested "Whistle up
your windpipe. Seven-card stud,
twos, three, and red-haired
queens wild. For high, low and
medium.
Bob thought he would teach
the sissies a lesson. He had a
straight. But with that many
wild cards, everybody else
around the table had a' royal
straight flush.
Cost old Bob $11.60 on the
hand. He not only gave up games
with words beginning with "W,"
he also gave up playing poker
with women.

!n the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
So that we may deal realistic
ally with the facts of life, which
is always advisable, let us recite
here in chronological order a
series of events that began in
Denver late Sunday afternoon..
fFHE Sunday evening medical
bulletin from Fitzsimmons
army hospital reported Presi
dent Eisenhower "a little tired
and not feeling as well as usual."
The bulletin added that he was
given a mild sedative to help him
fall asleep more easily.
When the change in the Presi
dent's condition was noted, the
news was telephoned at once to
Dr. Paul Dudley White, one of
the world's foremost heart spe
cialists who has been in constant
consultation since the chief exec
utive's heart attack.
In commenting on the change
Dr. White said: "It makes us
suspicious that- there may be
something behind it." "But, he
added, "the President may be all
right later" (when he awakens).
rPHE news Monday morning
- was reassuring. The hospital
bulletin said the President's
condition remained satisfactory
and that, he apparently had
suffered no complications.
The bulletin added that . he
awoke "rested arid refreshed"
and visited with Mrs. Eisen
hower during breakfast. For his
morning meal, he ate a slice of
cantaloupe, an egg, two strips of
beef bacon, a slice of whole
wheat toast and a glass of
skimmed milk.
It was added somewhat later
that he may sign additional gov
ernment papers this week.
All of which is wonderful.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Firemen To Vote
On Maritime Strike
San Francisco (U.R) Mem
bers of the AFL Firemen's Union
scheduled meetings today to vote
on giving their negotiating com
mittee authority to call a strike
against the Pacific Maritime As
sociation.
A negotiating session between
the union and the PMA ended
yesterday with no agreement be
ing reached. Vincent Malone,
union president, ' said the union
is "liable to take some action"
unless the shipowners come up
with a "tangible" wage proposal.
Malone indicated, despite the
strike threat, that the action
would consist initially of can
celling the contract.
He accused the shipowners of
offering "reduction in pay" in
their counter-proposals to date.
He said the union wanted a pro
posal that it could submit to the
membership for a vote "with a
good change it will be accepted."
Meanwhile, the Marine Cooks
and the PMA recessed their
wage talks' yesterday without
coming' to an agreement.'-
T ET us now get on with our
sequence of events.
Remember that it began late
Sunday afternoon. Modern com
munications are so nearly per
fect that within a matter of min
utes the news of the possibly
disturbing change in the Presi
dent's condition was known all
over the world.
Remember that this bulletin
came at a time when stock
exchanges all over the world
were closed. People had all night
to reflect on the possible conse
quences of an unfayorable
change in the President's condi
tion. " '
WHEN the New York Stock
exchange opened Monday
morning, it ran into a wave of
selling. Prices fell one to three
points in many instances, and
some losses went on out to six
points at the worst.
Volume mounted swiftly as
the selling progressed and prices
fell.
WHAT does that mean? ,
It means that people feel
widely and generally that if
President Eisenhower should be
removed by death or total dis
ability from the scene of world
events the future would be far
less bright and beautiful.
It can have no other meaning.
MOW lor the moral.
Let us suggest it in the form
of a question.
Have we reached the point
where we put too much depend
ence ON ONE MAN?
T DON'T KNOW.
But I can't help the feeling
that we are approaching the
point where we place too much
emphasis upon the executive
branch of our government
(which is headed by one man)
and too little emphasis upon the
legislative branch, which is com
posed of MANY men. We are
coming to think of the President
as all-important and of the con
gress as relatively unimportant.
History teaches us that this is a
dangerous trend.
T THINK we'd better begin to
think of the supreme impor
tance to us of getting the ablest
men we have into- the congress.
