But there is such a college of 300 souls and the owner of Rice Mountain Lodge where we are staying is a professor of history and languages there. He is also coach of the skiing team. Skiing is a popular sport around here and with good reason for they have more snow here than at Crater Lake and THE tourist season is about the same from June to October. This is the 'tourist section of Upper New York known in gen eral as "The Adirondacks." There are a few small farms, a few small towns, a few small pulp mills, many large estates (owned mostly by New Yorkers), but the big business is the tourist trade. The area is dotted with small taverns, motor camps, guest-houses and the like, but there are no golf courses nearer than Lake Placid and Saranac. In that section are the large estates John D. Rocke feller Jr. has one and the attractive summer homes. It is a more picturesque country than this, and gets the cream of the crop as far as tourists are concerned. Dr. McKee he is the owner of the lodge had to drive his teen-age daughter over to Saranac Saturday where she joined her co-members of the Saranac High School Glee club, for a bus trip to Potsdam where a district contest was held. Saranac got an "A" rating which is tops, and Susan that is the daughter said some of the girls were so delighted they cried she was delighted too, but she did NOT cry. Susan wouldn't. She is a living example of the fact that good health is the cornerstone of beauty. Or at least there can be no real beauty without it. She is the picture of good health bright, clear blue eyes, pink cheeks and inexhaustible vitality. She doesn't think much of boys either on or off the glee club. In fact, those on the club don't take music seriously, they just horse around. The girl sopranos aren't much better,1 few of them can even read music, they just sing by ear and try to follow the tune. It is different with the girl altos, they take music seriously and sing music as it should be sung. Susan is an alto. e On the return trip near sunset, Dr. McKee spied on the edge of the highway what he thought to be a collie dog sitting on his haunches and speculatively surveying the motor traffic. Coming nearer he discovered the dog was really a red fox. He must have been a pretty dumb Reynard, for sitting there, with cars whizzing by around 80 miles an hour, he was in more danger than he would be sitting on the Lake Clear r.r. platform at the start of the hunting season. This incident gives some indication of the abundant wildlife around here there are more deer than dairy cows, more wolves and foxes than pet dogs, and a varmint on the MacArthur place known as a cross between a wolf and a dog, resembling some what a large and fierce type of coyote. There is a bounty on this predatory beast's head. Sounds like a hunter's paradise, but in our brief experience roaming around the place we find certain flies in the amber, such as nasty flies, big and little, mosquitoes about the size of hum ming -birds and snakes galore, none of the venomous variety, but your correspondent suffers from an allergy for any kind of snake, particularly when stepping on one Saturday drove up to Malone to do some shopping. Like Medford, Malone has Woolworth and Newberry stores cheek-by-jowl, a couple of dry goods stores and a couple for wet goods. It also has a couple of hotels and the usual plentitude of drug stores. Quite a town after Paul Smiths and Lake Clear junction. It began Saturday the stores and streets were crowded but we were lucky to find a parked car moving out just as we drove up. With Canada only a few miles away we were not surprised to find many Canadian cars parked along the curb. Not so long ago Americans near the line shopped in Canada but now with the Canadian dollar at a premium and prices con sequently higher, many Canadians do their week end shopping in the U.S.A. The St. Lawrence Power Project is booming this section of New York state and Ontario, Canada. There are nearly ten thou sand now employed in the Massena area, and needless to say they have to be housed, clothed and fed. We don't believe there is a Socialist or Communist among them, but according to the accepted G.O.P. creed they are work ing to destroy private enterprise, rugged individualism, and the cherished "American way of life," for the Private Power combine is not putting a cent in this history-making public power devel opment and won't get a cent out of it. No wonder the Honorable Richard Nixon thinks Governor Dewey, who favored this St. Lawrence project and campaigned for it, won't have a chance against him at the next Republican national convention! R.W.R. Memorial Day For many years, a poem by Walt Mason, entitled "Little Green Tents," was printed in "Ye Smudge Pot" column of the Mail Tribune each Memorial day. The columnist was the late Arthur Perry, and he took this means of paying tribute to the "Boys in Blue" (and Grey) for whom Memorial day was in stituted. The poem, surely familar to all the "old timers" hereabouts, follows: a LITTLE GREEN TENTS THE LITTLE GREEN TENTS, WHERE THE SOLDIERS SLEEP, AND THE SUNBEAMS PLAY, AND THE WOMEN WEP, ARE COVERED WITH FLOWERS TODAY; AND BE TWEEN THE TENTS WALK THE WEARY FEW, WHO WERE YOUNG AND STALWART IN SIXTY-TWO, WHEN THEY WENT TO THE WAR AWAY. THE LITTLE GREEN TENTS ARE BUILT OF SOD, AND THEY ARE NOT LONG,. AND THEY ARE NOT BROAD, BUT THE SOLDIERS HAVE LOTS OF ROOM; AND THE SOD IS PART OF THE LAND THEY SAVED, WHEN THE FLAG OF THE ENEMY DARKLY WAVED, THE SYMBOL OF DOLE AND DOOM. THE LITTLE GREEN TENT IS A THING DIVINE; THE LITTLE GREEN TENT IS A COUNTRY'S SHRINE, WHERE PATRIOTS KNEEL AND PRAY; AND THE BRAVE MEN LEFT, SO OLD, SO FEW, WERE YOUNG AND STALWART IN SIXTY TWO WHEN THEY WENT TO THE WAR AWAY. Editorial Comment ANOTHER KICK IN THE TEETH Proponents of effective con trol over billboards in the new super-highway system received another kick in the teeth Thurs day. The setback came in the re podt of a U.S. House of Rep resentatives report on the sign board control bill. The report - allows states to regulate billboards along the in terstate system on a project or part of a project basis. Original ly, supporters of stricter control had felt such control was neces sary on a nationwide basis. Under the proposal reported out by the subcommittee on roads and highways, states will receive a bonus of three-fourths of one per cent additional in fed eral funds for each project kept fre- of billboards. Those working for more effec Thursday, May 30. 1957 Paul in the long-grass meadow! in our "Drive-Yourself" Chevy tive control, including Senator Neuberger of Oregon, had felt complete statewide r e g u lation would have been far better and more effective than permitting it piecemeal or on a project basis (Under the so-called "compro mise" report, for instance, the state of Oregon can allow boards on that section of Highway 99 between Eugene and Albany, and ban them on the portion from Albany to Salem.) Neuberger reports that the at titude of members of the sub committee on the question made it clear the report would have had to include the "compromise" or nothing at all. Apparently those members of the subcommitte who did not agree with the majority feel a half a loaf is better than none. At the present time there is no federal regulation in this IBSSJ Z LI ' i 1 1 WCW LETS GO LOOK AT NEW Matter of Fact BLACK TENTS OF THE SHAMMAR Hatra, Iraq In the mud plastered desert police station, the atmosphere is rich with Bed ouin jubilation. In their young days, 40 years ago, the wiry, hawk faced old men sipping tea at the po lice officer's desk knew a very different sort of joy of victory. Then their eyes shone, then Joseph aisop they exchang ed congratulations, because with sword and spear, in wild night combat amongst the black tents, the men of the Shammar had gloriously defeated raiders from the great rival desert tribe, the Aneizah. But now the defeated raiders are a sharp Mosul lawyer and his still sharper business partner, who can still be seen fleeing across the desert in a baby blue American sedan. Sheikh Turki, leader of the Frit (the name means "devil") clan of the Sham mar, sums up the victory briskly and neatly: "They tried to steal our land 10,000 dunhams of land good for wheat. They wished to grow their wheat there with their tractors and their combines. But now it will be our wheat that grows there, and if we are wise, the tractors and combines will be ours as well." SHEIKH TURKI looks for as sent to his leader, the chief .of all the Shammar, Sheikh Ach med Ajil AI-Yawar. Sheikh Ach med smiles in answer. And well he might, for he was himself the bold pioneer .of the mechanized dry-farming of wheat and bar ley that is now beginning to transform the life of his people. Outwardly, you might suppose that nothing was altered. Even Sheikh Achmed, the master of Oneiwf, the largest and most profitable mechanized farming operations in the modern world, but he still wears the long robe, the gold embroidered mantle and the white headcloth of the desert Sheikh. As befits the leader of a thousand households, with 20,000 camels and 100,000 sheep, Sheikh Turki has his own armed guard a handsome young tribesman with flashing eyes who wears his cartridge bando lier and carries his rifle with warlike pride. But when the legal conference in the police station at last breaks up, Sheikh Turki's guard also proves to be the proud driver of Sheikh Turki's pickup truck. Sheikh Achmed takes the wheel of the American automo bile he reserves for desert use he has a new Rolls Royce in Baghdad. There is no racing dromedary anywhere in sight when the party sets off for the next rendezvous, at the camp of another Shammar clan leader, Sheikh Dhaher El-Mutrakh. Police Union Takes Complaint To Court Tacoma (IP) The city's 33 detectives and the police union took their long-standing pay complaints to court Wednesday. The detectives and Union lo cal 252 obtained an injunction in Pierce County Superior court against City Manager David Rowland and Personnel Director Stan Bixel to prevent a sched uled examination for police ser geant. Arguments on the action are set for June 6. The ,injunction is a climax to a long fight between the police union and city government, in which the City Council finally ruled against the union. Detectives want pay equal to that of police sergeants and have argued against plans by police and city officials for four sup ervisory sergeant in the detec tive division. realm at all. The "compromise" is too weak far too weak. But if it's the best that can be obtained it's better to pass it than have no thing at all. Bend Bulletin. TRICYOtsS By Joseph Alsop FOR the reflective man, even the long, hot, dusty ride across the desert is a strange ex perience. Only six years ago, all this vast Northern Iraqi desert had never felt the plough. At this spring season, a limitless green-brown carpet, it was all sparse grass richly embroidered with the scarlet of poppies, the yellow of buttercups and the blue and white and silver of oth er flowers. Here, the Shammar coursed gazelle and sent their hawks af ter bustard. But now, from half the desert, the tractor-drawn plough has banished the old desert life. In their ripening fields of wheat and barley, the comb ine op erators from Mosul who work on shares with the Bedouin, are now bringing in the harvest, while their desert partners anxi ously watch the work and check the share-out. Once again, at Sheikh Dhah er's camp, one recaptures a sense of changlessness; for here the flocks and herds are all round about the thick cluster of black tents. As is fitting, the dark boat hair strips of Sheikh Dhaher's tent shade a space both long and wide, in which scores of Bedouin men sit cross legged on the car pets spread in a long rectangle around the coffee hearth scooped in the dusty earth. Sheikh Achmed is g r e eted with a curious mixture of res pect and familiarity; for is he not both the chosen leader of all the Shammar and a member of the Shammar family as well? The coffee server goes around, offering his little cups of the bit ter refreshing coffee of the desert Arabs. CJHEIKH Dhaher's father, the aged, white bearded but vig orous Sheikh Muhammad, cele brates the past. All listen while he tells the tale of stratagem and ambush and the final hard spear fight with the Aneizah in which he got his first wounds. But the murmur of applause is interrupted when the house hold serving men stagger into the tent with a gigantic platter, five feet across, heaped with a mountain of rice and roast lamb, The first circle forms; then the second, the third. As each circle breaks up, one of the serving men pours water over the hands greasy with eating. Tea, very sweet and strong, is offered in little glasses; and now it is time for the serious business of the meeting. ' The problems of land settle ment are that business. The gov ernment plan to divide the desert lands among the tribesmen has raised innumerable p r a c t i cal questions that have to be thrash ed out. There are legal papers, too, to be written by Sheikh Achmed and his accompanying tribal lawyer, and to be signed by heads of families with the print of their ink smeared thumbs. So the meeting ends. Then, there is another long drive across the desert to this place, where the camp lies in the shadow of the huge ruins of the great city of an Arab trading kingdom that beat off the as sault of the Roman Emperor Tra jan, and finally succumbed to the attack of the Persian King Sapur. a a IN ANOTHER corner of the tent, as these words are writ ten, Sheikh Achmed and a group of lesser leaders of the Sham mar are discussing the best way to modernize the ancient Sham mar law of the blood price. Look ing out at ancient Hatra's tower ing but broken columns, one re flects that the immense change now coming to the desert is not the first change the desert has seen. One wonders whether the new change will work well or ill for the problems involved are very thorny and very grave. But with all. of Iraq rushing out of the past into the present, one can see the sense of Sheikh Ach med's shrewd remark that "if my people do not change, they will become human curiosities, cut off from the rest of their country as you have cut of your red Indians."

The United States sees some evidence that the recent anti-American dis orders on Formosa may have been planned, it was disclosed today. Officials said the Chinese Na tionalist government and Ameri can authorities are still looking into the causes of the May 24 riots. There is no indication yet that any particular group sparked the action, they said. Evidence pointing toward planning includes appearance at the riots of small flags, anti- In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As-others-see-us note: B. V. Cooksley, Nationalist member of the New Zealand par liament, is visiting a niece in La Grande, up in Northwestern Ore gon. He tells an interviewer at Pendleton that Americans "don't know how well off -they are." He expressed astonishment at Americans who trade in year-old cars for a new model simply be cause they are tired of the old one. When a New Zealander finally makes up his mind to get rid of his old car and buy a new one, he says, he has to wait a year after his order is placed be fore he can get his new British made auto. His obvious opinion is that Americans are fabulously extra vagant in their way of living. T HATE to mention it, sir, but -- in your country you go in rather heavily for socialistic ideas, including a cradle-to-the- grave system of social and health insurance and pensions. Here we stick more closely to the prin ciples of free enterprise, doing more or less as we please and taking our chances. We like our system, and we hope you like yours. rpHIS morning's dispatches re- -- port that responsible authori ties on both sides are having some sober second thoughts about the riots on Formosa that resulted from the acquittal of an American sergeant charged with killing a Chinese Peeping Tom Nationalist Chinese Ambassa dor Hollington Tong says he in tends to lead his countrymen in a subscription drive to pay for repairing theh damage that was done. He says the money will not be taken from American aid funds for Nationalist China but will come out of the pockets of theh Chinese themselves. He points out that one of the things that may have inflamed the Chinese was that Americans in the trial courtroom cheered when the verdict of acquittal was announced. Under Chinese law, he explains this morning, a person who kills another per son even in self-defense re ceives certain penalties. A GAIN, let's quote Kipling: "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, "Till Earth and sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat." Things that seem utterly logi cal and reasonable and as they ought to be in America can be UTTERLY ILLOGICAL and un reasonable and quite intolerable in China. And vice versa. GETTING on with Formosa " There are reports that the United States WILL MAKE A SHARP REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF U.S. SERVICE MEN STATIONED THERE in an effort to relieve some of the ten sions. Nothing can be more certain than this: The sooner we can get our troops off foreign soil which can come about only when our allies and associates in the free world are willing to accept re sponsibility for maintaining their own liberties the better it will be for us. DAY OR NIGHT PHON SP 2-8030 Chapel Mortuary Across from the Courthouse Frank Morgan Harold Snodgrass FUNERAL DIRECTORS American automobile stickers, advance "tips" to some Ameri cans to stay off the streets and a recording played at the scene that had been prepared in ad vance by a Chinese radio sta tion. Also some carefully prepared posters were seen in the area before the rioting became wide spread. Evidence gathered so far on the Formosa riots does not show any evidence of Communist backing. Officials said possible instigators include extremist Chinese who want to attack the Red China mainland and believe the United States is preventing it, and Chinese or Formosans who simply don't like to see American soldiers on their terri tory. Riots by Chinese on Formosa were touched off by the court martial acquittal of an American GI accused of killing a Formo san he allegedly caught peeping at his wife in a shower. At the eight of the rioting the Ameri can embassy and U.S. Informa Today and By Walter A BIG DECISION While Mr. Stassen was back in Washington, he was given fresh instructions. They marked a recognition on the part of the President that for the first time in the long his tory of talking about disarma ment, we are in sight of n e g o t l a- Halter Llppmajui tion. What Mr. Stassen has found in his recent meetings with the Russians is that they are acting as men would act who wished to strike a bargain and not merely to publish state ments. This is something very new. and it has forced us to face questions thai we have not had to face before. By long habit we had come to take it for grant ed that neither side really be lieved that an agreement was possible, and that, therefore, we were all free to make proposals without asking ourselves seri ously what we would think if the Russians accepted them. Now, with Mr. Stassen report ing that he is on the verge of a negotiation, we find ourselves in a game where the chips mean real money, and the stakes are high. The great question, on which the President has had to decide the answer, is whether to start down the road of negotiation. This is a question at the highest level of policy. It is a much big ger question than the one which Admiral Bradford raised when he said publicly that he did not want to make an agreement be cause he did not trust the Rus sians to carry it out. rpHE REAL question is wheth -- er it is wise to make an agree ment that WOULD be carried out because it was "self-enforc ing." There is not much doubt that we can insist on safeguards against the secret violation of an agreement. The seriously de batable question is whether in the kind of limited agreement which may be possible the pol itical risks of a relaxation of the tension are greater than the po litical and economic advantages. What is there to be said against making an agreement which contains the necessary technical safeguards? In the last analysis, the argument is that if you agree to limit armaments before you have done anything to settle the great issues, you have in effect accepted the pres ent division of the world.

They a may have miscalculated the ex plosive character of th siUA tion and of the crowds th gathered in front of the ar United States buildingp. Tomorrow Lippmann agreement about armaments, which fixes their size or stipu lates how or when they may be used, is tantamount to a military guarantee of the existing mili tary boundaries between the two coalitions. This will, so runs the argu ment, reduce, perhaps remove, the pressure upon the Soviet Un ion to permit the reunification of the two Germanys. It will throttle down the pressure in Eastern Europe for the with drawal of the Red Army. It will, at the same time, reduce the pressure of anxiety in Western Europe, including Western Ger many, and so make these coun tries less disposed to carry the burden of the NATO military establishment. It will stimulate the American demand to cut the budget at the expense of the military services and of foreign aid. . As against all these risks, the President had decided that the risks and the costs of not nego tiating may be still greater. I do not see how he could have decid ed differently. For how, if he is faced with a serious offer to ne gotiate, can the President of the United States refuse to negoti ate? Can he say that we do not want an agreement when he and the two Presidents before him have so often declared that we do want one? Too much has been said by too many responsible men, and it is now impossible for the President to take a stand against an agreement on arma ments. The President can argue about the substance of any particular agreement. But he must argue sincerely, that is to say, with the hope of reaching an agree ment and not with a. concealed intention of preventing an agree ment. TF WE LOOK at the case against an agreement, it is not fair to ask whether he does not rest on a strange and dang erous assumption that if ten sions are relaxed, if the fear of war is reduced, the advantages will go to the Communist pow ers and the disadvantages to the non-Communists? Is this our true measure of the world? Must we really believe that with less fear and anxiety and tension we shall languish while the total itarian states will flourish? Surely this assumption, which turns our moral conviction up side down, is itself a morbid symptom of the existing tensions manifesting itself in a profound lack of confidence in our own institutions and in our own peo- pies. .
