Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport High Hells Dam Fund Expectation Reyealed Washington Ml Rep. Hamer Budge (R-Idaho) said Thursday backers of a federal high dam in Hells Canyon should be ready to secure appropriations of S100 million per year for the next five years if their project is approved by Congress. That would be the amount needed to build the dam and get power to the electricity-hungry Pacific Northwest by 1964, Budge said in a speech from the floor of the House. "If private development of the power (in Hells Canyon), which is now under way, is brought to a halt, then it will be the responsibility of those who stopped it to assure immediate appropriations of S100 million per year for the next five years tc build the federal dam . . ." he said. Idaho Power Company holds permits to build three private dams in the Hells Canyon stretch of the Snake river. More Oregonians In Non-Farm Work Salem IIPI A total of 489, 000 Oregon workers were em ployed in non-farm work in May, according to the State Unemploy ment Compensation. This number was 9400 more than was recorded a month be fore but about 2800 less than the same time a year ago. Claims taken by the 26 local offices of the commission totaled about 10,000 during the closing weeks of the 1956-57 benefit year. This number was expect ed to raise slightly as the 1957 58 year opens July 1, the com mission said. Sawmill and log ging operations reported about 58,700 workers employed, 7000 fewer than a year ago. The re port showed that plywood and furniture plants also were slight ly off in employment. Construc tion activities picked up, how ever, the commission said. Heartland of Algerian Rebellion Found Wild But Pretty Country V-- I'D T) - .1 . M.,,,rW11 1. " . . I . .. ..... Editors Note: V.P. Paris manager Arthur Higbre has flown to Algeria for some close-up reporting of the rebellion In the French conlony. This is his first dispatch. Br ARTHUR HIGBEE Tizi-Ouzou. Algeria IW "Pretty country, this," you re mark as the sedan sweeps through the corktree and willow covered hills of the Grand Kaby lie. "Prettiest on earth," agrees the young civil servant fresh from Paris. This the heartland of the Al gerian rebellion against France. These mountains spring up a scant 35 miles east of the mod ern city of Algiers and stretch 70 miles south toward the Sa hara. They form the wildest, hilli est, poorest, loveliest and most thickly populated region of Al geria. A million Moslems try to scratch a living from its soil. Only 14,000 Europeans are among them. The Kabyles are an offshoot of the Berbers meaning barbari ans who inhabited North Africa long before the Arabs swept through with the sword of Is lam. They were never completely pacified and. with the coming of the nationalist uprising, the re gion boiled into what the French call "full effervescence." France has an entire division, the 27th Alpine, plus artillery and aviation, in this mountain country to protect the Euro peans and the vast majority of Moslems who have not joined the revolt. You ask an educated Kabyle how the Algerian struggle can be solved. ' "I do not know," he replies "My people are in misery. Most of them are so poor that, quite literally, the only pleasure they can afford is sexual pleasure Among the uneducated, birth control is an evil. And. as -the population increases, so does the misery. "The French promised us full citizenship, and we never got it. Now many of my people no longer want it. "Is independence the answer? Perhaps too easy an answer. 1 think we must have French help to survive. "For every rebel there are 10 sympathizers, and for every sympathizer 100 neutrals wait ing to see which way the wind blows. And what does a villager j uo wnen trie reoeis come ana tell him to choose between join-ion the rebel side in April com ing them and having his throat cut? "Anyway, can the French army stay here forever? And what kind of life is it, being searched at one corner by the military and not knowing wheth er a rebel knife is going to get you at the next?" Civilian boss of the Grand Ka bylie is French Prefect Robert Vignon. He is 47, a career civil servant born in Algeria. Vignon says the situation is improving, points to a chart on the wall of his air-conditioned office. It lists 26 killed on the French side in April compared to 46 six months ago. 453 killed pared to 161 six months ago. But Vignon would rather talk of life than death, of Moslem village governments and build ing projects. The Moslems, he says, now run one-fourth of the 161 communes in the Grand Kabylie. Town and countryside Aliek are full of government-financed building projects roads, bridges, schools, hospitals. "We are building to the limit." Vignon said. "But. as I tell the people, it is no good asking for them if they are going to be de stroyed by a few fellagha (out laws). They must help us to de fend them." Are You Good at Figures?
