Br ARTHUR HIGBE Unitad Press Correspondent Algiers (IPI He marches for days over the worst terrain without sign of fatigue. He lives on next-to-nothing, without pay. He fights bravely and well as an individual or in small groups He is poorly trained for team combat and inexpertly-led. This picture of the Algerian rebel soilder emerges from per sonal observation and from con versations with French soliders from Gen. Raoul Salan, com mander-in-chief in Algeria, down to Sgt. Eimle Coyande of the Franco-Moslem militia. Two years ago the rebel sol diers numbered 1,500. Today there are 22,000. When the rebel is outnumber ed by the French and has a chance to escape, he scampers like a rabbit. When he is corner ed, he will fight to the death, even when wounded. He may be a veteran of the French Army of World War II or Indo-China. He may be an unemployed law clerk or drug- ffiat'a nqstarant. Rut more? likelv ha is a half-literate villager or I country boy. He may have joined because he believes in the Algerian na tionalist cause, or because he hates the French or both. He may be convinced that as long as France runs Algeria he will be a "second-class citizen." He may have a brother or friend who was shot or imprisoned by the French. Or he may have been "draft ed" by rebels who descended on his village and gave able-bodied men the choice join us or have your throat cut. If he is a villager, he probably grew up with hunting rifle in hand and is an expert marks man. He is less expert with ma chine guns. His training consisted of a few days of rifle squad drill. His uniform could be khakis with an American-style helmet or Moslem civilan clothing skullcap, tattered suitcoat and pants. May Go Barefoot He wears rubber soled field shoes or goes barefoot. His weapon is usually a p re- World War II bolt-action rifle of British, French, German, Spanish or American make He also has sten guns, a few mortars, even bazookas. He has no' aviation, no artll- lery. He has no motor transport Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Washington Rep. Chet Holifield (D.-Calif.) on the role of the deral government in civil defense planning: "In effect, the high officials of our government are saving themselves and abandoning the people." Mew York Dr. Robert C. Hockett. associate director of the Tobacco Industry Research committee, on the claim that benzo pyrene resulting from cigarette smoke may have cancer-causing effects: "In Its pure form, benzopyrene has never been shown to be cancer-causing to man. and it induces cancer only on certain types of laboratory animals ..." Beirut Lebanese Foreign Minister Charles Malik, on the an nouncement the United States has granted some $15 million in economic and military aid to Lebanon: "Never before in the history of mankind has any one nation been so generous with its talents or money as the United States." Hew York Attorney Ferdinand Pecora, defending Tommy Manville'i younger sister. Lorraine, against charges she failed lo mention undergoing a face-lifting and rejuvenation operation be fore she married a TV actor 30 years her junior: "When a young lady endeavors to keep herself young by medi cation, she cannot be guilty of any kind of misrepresentation." Dayton, Ohio Democratic National Committeeman Albert Horstman, on the death of James Middletown Cox, unsuccessful Democratic nominee for president in 1920: "Not only Dayton but the nation has lost a great leader who served the United States as well as a congressman and our state as a governor."

Josephine Park Group Buys Land Grants Pass The . Josephine county park commission has purchased about 15 acres of land 7V4 miles west of this city near the Rogue river. The commission will develop the land as a tourist camping spot. The property, bought from Ben Hilton, includes the old Dixie picnic grounds, and is the largest tract in the county's park system. It will be one of the largest available areas for camping and house trailers. The site was purchased for $7,500. The money came out of a $25,000 appropriation set up in the 1957-58 county budget earmarked for acquisition of new land for county parks. Virgil Adams, new city-county planner, will lay out the park for the commission. He is ex pected to be in Grants Pass about July 20. In the Dixie picnic grounds now there are tables, benches and some old equipment The ground lies just above a pond where the main channel of the Rogue once flowed. The river is a few hundred yards away. The Dixie purchase gives the county its largest of 10 county parks where the commission is doing or planning improvement work. i FUTURE? ! It's up to you!

He lives off the countryside, fighting in 10-man sections or bands of 20 to 500. He is a guer rilla marching by night, am bushing by day and night. If he is a member of one of the wijder tribes, he may mutil ate his dead foe's body, goug ing, cutting, chopping. He has no chance of beating the French Army in a pitched campaign. But the French have no chance of obliterating him short of an all-out atomic war of extermination. Thus, Frenchmen believe, a pure military victory by either side here is impossible. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Futures Syndicate. Inc.) Tokyo now claims to be the world's largest city 'vith London second and New York third. still think New York is the world's largest municipality but will not wager any stogies on it until I check the most recent records. Tokyo may really be the largest city. However, Lon don definitely is not. If figured the way London's population is by British statisticians the popu lation of New York City would be about 15 million. Horses arid Women It was in the play titled "The Round Up" that Maclyn Ar- buckle voiced the immortal com plaint, "Nobody loves a fat man." The truth of this state ment is still being disputed. Those in agreement say that while many women are very fond of fat men no female ever falls madly in love with an ex cessively fat fellow. How about fat women? Experts on the sub ject say it frequently happens that a man falls madly in love with a plump female. It is a mat ter of record that a Southern woman who is 32 years old and weighs 300 pounds is now living happily with her fifth husband. She divorced her first four spouses and it is said they are all carrying the torch for her. This brings to mind the ditty Sophie Tucker used to sing which was titled, "Nobody Loves a Fat Girl, But Oh, How a Fat Girl Can Love." Please Note You have heard of a couple who had three children all born on the same date in different years? Ever hear of a couple whose three children were born on the same date in different years but also all at exactly the same time of day? It happened. I am reliably informed that the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Andrew of Yorks, Eng land, who are seven, three and one-year-old respectively at this time, were all born on July 17, exactly at 12 noon! After Dark In New Jersey and many oth er states night harness horse rac ing is illegal. That's how it should be. Night racing has too many people who can't afford it, gambling six nights a week. Besides it keeps them up until one or two in the morning and makes them unfit to handle their jobs. In brief, night horse racing is a major menace to the eco nomic health of a community and should be prohibited. Asking Queries from clients. Q.
