Progress Expected At Geneva Meeting Tods News of Week Br CHARLES M. MeCANN United Preu Correspondent The week's good and, bad news on the international balance sheet: -THE GOOD 1. The foreign ministers of the United States, "Great Britain, France and Russia met in the white marble Palace of Nations in Geneva. Switzerland. The topics for dis cussion were the reunifica tion of Ger- many. Euro pean security, d i s a r mament and develop- mentof diplo matic contacts between West and East. Pres i d e n t Eisen- tuaries Mr, a.. rawer ana .sec retary of State John Foster Bulles have expressed guarded rjfiope that some advance may be made toward the goal of lessen ing international tension. No startling agreements were ex pected. But it was forecast that sufficient progress would be mada to justify another conf er- enceater. 2. A new republic was pro claimed in the state of Southern Viet Nam in Indochina with American - supported Ngo Dinh Diem as president and premier. The change came about as the result of a referendum in which Vietnamese chose Diem as their leader instead of playboy Em peror Bao Dai. Diem's victory greatly strengthens Viet Nam against the threat of Commu nism. Si Sjjcrtta Dulles announced that he will visit President Tito of Yugoslavia on Nov. 6, during a pek-end recess in the Geneva negotiations. The visit was ex pected to strengthen relations belen the United States and Tito, hom the Russians are try ing t$ f et back into their camp. THE BAD 1. fhe enmity between the Arab ttes and Israel intensi fied dnerously. There was con tinued tlk by some Israeli ele ments that it might be a good idea to launch a "preventive war" against Egypt. Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharett flew to Paris and Geneva to ask the foreign ministers of the United States,. Britain and France for arms to offset those which Communist Czechoslova kia is si?plying to Egypt. Ini Geneva, Slarett arranged to con fer with Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov. The State department in Washing ton insisted, despite Israeli de mands, that the Communist countries had offered to sell weapons to Israel. 2. France was threatened by a new cabinet crisis. Premier Ed gar Faure was forced to seek a vote of confidence in Parliament of his North African policies. His difficulties were complicated by the rejection of the proposed statute for the Saar coal region. The fight against the statute, which would have given the Saar "European" status, was led by a former German Nazi. 3. The Chinese Communists started, in official radio broad casts, to demand the little Por tuguese colony of Macao which lies at the mouth of the Canton river across from British Hong Kong. There was some suspicion that the Reds might have been encouraged by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India, who is trying to force Portugal to give up its possessions on the Indian coast. DAVs Elect New Officers; Makes Plans for Parade Treavell M. Turpin, a past commander, was named senior vice - commander of Jackson County Chapter 8, Disabled American . Veterans, at a DAV meeting held here this week. Turpin succeeds Emory C. An derson, who resigned to move to Washington. . Also elected at the meeting was Frank ..Clayton, who was named junior- vice - commander succeeding Henry L. Williams, who resigned because of inability to, serve. y James Cech was named ser geant at arms to replace Clayton. Parade- Plans Discussed Plans for participation in the American Legion Veterans Day parade were discussed at the meeting, and it was decided to furnish transportation . for vet erans who are physically unabll to march, but who wish to take part in the parade. A visitor at the meeting was Carl Steinert, field representa tive for the state Department of Veterans Affairs. Steinert de scribed operations of the state veterans loan program, and out lined aspects of claims service in connection with state benefits. The local DAV chapter and auxiliary will be visited by de partment heads at a meeting slated for Nov. 8 in the Central Point Grange hall. A supper will be served at 6:30 p.m., and will be followed by a social meeting. Springfield, Mass.ttJ.R) Wil liam Lacoste was granted a di vorce on grounds of desertion 41 years after his wife left him. Is That So? "Ranger, a question. In all my reading I have never found any thing authentic about the birth of an elephant . . ." says S.R.T. Although the largest and most powerful of all land animals, the elephant is exceedingly shy and very little is known about the birth. As a result many curious beliefs have arisen, including the popular one that females pre pare for birth by digging pits. Normally male and female elephants have a courtship last ing several days or even weeks, during which the pair graze and live together. Once the honey moon is over the female seeks the close friendship of another female, or you might say a "mid wife" an they remain insepar able until some time after the calf's birth. For the herd, the birth is quite an event. Usually a con stant terrifying bellowing and trumpeting among the elders heralds the occasion the din no doubt serving the purpose of scaring away marauding beasts. One of the few witnesses to an actual birth, W. L. A. An diris, a forest guard in beautiful Ceylon's Yala game sanctuary which I have' visited, reported this birth for Ceylon's Depart ment of Wild Life. He stated that a mother elephant and "her eight attending midwives" had made a careful selection of their "ma ternity room" in a clearing ad joining a small lagoon previous to the birth. It was hidden by deep jungles on all sides. Caressed With Trunks As birth approached, the mother elephant lay on her side in this clearing. The eight at tendants surrounded her, caress ing her gently with their trunks As birth- became imminent, the mother became, more and more nervous, shifting her position in the clearing by taking a few steps this way and that, lying down after each movement. At this time, seven of the attendant elephants withdrew into the jungle, leaving one with the ex pectant mother. From, time to time, the "midwives" returned in pairs to check the mother with their trunks. The actual birth was ac complished without any ap parent strain or sound, reported Andiris. Then the mother left the newborn baby (which usual ly weight around 200 pounds and stands three feet at . the shoulder) and walked away about ten paces. She trumpeted and the other elephants emerged from the jungle, also trumpeting and caressing her. Then while the mother rested on the ground, all eight turned o V M LEON'S GIGANTIC II mwss COM & SHOE SMI "Hill and Dale" The Walking Shoe of the country (Ls $J99 FLEECES Soft . . . all-wool fleeces In four excellent stylet.

Each of the eight in turn moved past the newborn and blew sand on it with her trunk, drying its coarse hair. This continued for a half hour. After this the mother stood up, trumpeted loudly and walk ed swiftly to her infant and lift ed it with her trunk. After carrying it aside, she lowered herself to her knees and per mitted it to suck its first meal.

OSC Freshmen Scores On Test Below 1927's Corvallis Are college fresh men of today better or. poorer in English than their parents who were in school 25 years ago? Curious about the question, the English department at Ore gon State college this fall gave a 1927 English placement exami nation to the more than 1800 new freshmen. The scores of that test tip in favor of the "old timers" in mat ters of spelling and formal gram mar, according' to Dr. Herbert B. Nelson, head of the English de partment, but in English usage and punctuation the students of 1955 and 1927 are about equal. Students taking the 163-ques-tion test in 1927 made an ave rage of 53 errors. This fall, the average was 66 mistakes.
