1 McCann Lists Good, Bad News for Week By CHARLES M- McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent The week's good and bad news on the international: balance sheet: The Good . 1. Premier Guy Mollet and Pierre Mendes-France, his co leader in the French government, "f put aside their differences to join in a de termined a t tempt to bring peace to Al geria. Mollet, addressing the National As sembly in Paris outlined 4.1 : Charles MeCann a loxee - purni program to end terrorism in France' most important - over seas possession. He promised im mediate economic aid to relieve unemployment and poverty, long-term economic and politi cal reforms and free elections. The Algerian situation remained serious. But authoritative French men expressed confidence that this crisis will be solved. 2. Soviet Russia failed in its apparent attempt to . cause ill feeling between the United States and Great Britain by pro ducing missing British diplomats Donald D. MacLean and Guy M. Burgess at a Moscow press con ference. The public appearance of the two men,-nearly five years behind the Iron Curtain, proved to be only a one-day sensation. The Kremlin appar ently hoped it would cause bit ter American criticism of lax British security screening. .-. 3. Newly inaugurated Presi dent Juscelino Kubitschek of Brazil lifted the state of siege which had been imposed on Nov. 15. At that time, there was serious danger of a revolt which would prevent Kubitschek's in auguration and plunge the larg est Latin American republic into political turmoil.

Khrushchev opened the 20th Congress of the Russian Communist Party in Moscow with a speech boasting that Communism would triumph over capitalism. He showed no sign that Russia is willing to seek friendship with the "West on ac ceptable terms. At the same time Khrushchev, who is first secretary of the party, revised the fundamental Marxist dictum that war is. inevitable as long as Western capitalism and "im perialism" exist. Khrushchev held that Communism can tri umph without resort to violence. Economic and political methods will suffice, he said. 2. Pakistan started a review of its ties with the United States and other Western countries. Pakistan, a key member of the Middle Eastern Defense Alliance, until recently was regarded as firmly on the side of the West ern Allies. Now, it has accepted a Russian offer to negotiate a trade agreement. In Southeast ern Asia, Premier Norodom Si hanouk of Cambodia turned "neutralist" and went to - Com munist China for a visit. He, too, until recently had been re garded as firmly pro-Western. 3. Great Britain's serious fi nancial situation was emphasized when the government raised the "tank rate" shorply from 4V& to 5V4 per cent. This means a high er interest rate on loans of all sorts. The rise was aimed, at curbing inflation, cutting down on public purchases of .non essential goods and increasing exports. Jess Barker Cleared Of Contempt Charges Los Angeles (U.R) Actor Jess Barker, ex-husband of film star Susan Hayward, has been cleared of contempt charges after making back support and medi cal payments to an actress who accused him of fathering her daughter.

Doyle yesterday the actor had paid $50 in back support and $1113 in hospital bills to Yvonne Doughty, who gave birth to a daughter Dec. 10. The contempt charges were dismissed. : - Barker was ordered to make the payments Oct. 7 pending paternity suit against him. 3 OLD WASHER in Trade Phone 2-4922 is That So? "Why do Pacific Ocean salm on die when they go upstream to spawn" asks T. R. "Isn't this a tremendous waste in nature?" This does seem wasteful and tragic, but is it? As you know, T. R., when the Pacific salmon is still in the ocean, heavy with reserve fat and full of eggs or milt, it becomes a creature of compul sion. It leaves the vast ocean where food was plentiful and finds its way to the mouth of the river where it was born. Then it drives upstream through rapids, against 'swift currents, even up and over eight-foot wa terfalls, sometimes for over a thousand miles until it reaches the very spot where it was born. An amazing instinct. Once there, the female digs a bed in the gravel, lays her eggs which are at once fertilized by the male, and then in time both die. , , And what handsome creatures they once were. As they swarm ed in from the ocean by the tweeny 1)6 thousands and in some stream's by the millions they had the most beautiful shape of any fish and were bright as newly-minted silver dollars! But once jn the fresh water, disintegration be gan almost immediately. First the silver faded and then along the sides the fish took on a bronze color. With the terrific upstream struggle, they ate noth ing and wasted away, becoming thin and their jaws continuing to grow out of all proportion. Wasted, weary, they rested be low riffles and then with tre mendous resolve, struggled on ward, upward to their spawning ground. Answer Comes Gradually . After spawning, death. But why? For many years, it was un known. Then the answer came gradually after early efforts to establish salmon hatcheries fail ed. The young hatched, but died mysteriously. Precautions to have' everything sanitary, was n't the answer. What then? Fin ally it was discovered that in dy ing the parents gave the young life:, their dead bodies sank to the bottom of these quite barren streams, where they were eaten during the winter by minute forms of marine life. Then when the young were hatched in the spring, food was available: they fed on these tiny creatures made possible by their parents' death. And so, 'the . salmon in , its . su preme sacrifice lived on. Wasted you ask, T.R. Indeed not. "In our home your column rates tops. It is family reading. But we've got a bone to pick with you," writes Mrs. ; A.S.O. "You write occasionally about dogs. But never about cats. How come, Ranger? Now we have two Siamese Frankly, I don't want to get caught in a cat vs. dog argu ment . . . but even so, I cannot forego saying' something about your truly remarkable pets, the Siamese. . , Come from Siam As the name implies, the blue eyed, short-haired Siamese come from Siam (Thailand) and if you are willing to wade through the myth, legend and pseudo-zoological talk, you'll agree with me that the cat must have a mixed background. Because the kittens are born white and their eyes always re main blue,' breeders classify the Siamese as semi-albinoes. Considering the Siamese from their emotional point of view, I think I can say that this animal is more like a dog than a cat: it has a home-guarding instinct, it is a one-man animal given the opportunity, it selects its hu man friend and remains faithful no matter what the attitude or actions of the owner.; And like a dog, between Siamese and man there is an abiding affection., Britain Attacks Economic Crisis - London U.PJ The govern ment has launched - an emer gency attack on a growing eco nomic crisis by hiking; interest rates to their highest level since the 1932 depression and prom ising new austerity measures to morrow. Growing inflation and sinking exports have brought Britain to the apparent brink of a financial crisis similar to those of the early post-war days. ' Prime Minister Anthony Eden acted swiftly to cope "with it shortly after, he met with, his Cabinets " . The government hiked the Bank of England interest rates on loans to 5Vi per cent, the highest level since 1932. Then, R. A. Butler, Eden's ma jority leader in the House of Commons, announced that fur ther steps will be disclosed to parliament tomorrow. ' By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Yet the Siamese is still very much a cat: it is independent and there is always something about it which never seems to become domesticated. And this quality of cats, I admire they refuse to buckle down to mere man. . As for its physical properties, the Siamese is unusual in that its head is more pointed, its body more slender: its back slopes ud- and its hind legs have powerful thighs. Powerful enough to per form prodigious feats of jump ing. Without so much as a" run ning start, a half-grown kitten can jump straight up and land lightly on the shoulder of a six foot man. Finally, may I refute a cruelly mistaken notion of many people about pet cats: that if turned out, i they can take care of themselv-. es. Some cats may manage to i survive miserably but all suffer i and most die. . Sure, Mrs. A.S.O., I like cats: especially Siamese. So am I re-: stored to the inner circle of your j family? ; (Copyright, 1956, by Eugene ' .
