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. The revolt
failed to materialize.

1. Nikita S. 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.

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? ;
