By O. PRESTON ROBINSON Written for United Press London W Anti-Americanism has settled like a thick blanket in the Middle East. Yet the situation there is by no means hopeless. Beneath the layer of hostile suspicion that confronts the U.S. Monkey's Altitude Record Passed IBy Dog Traveling in Russia's Sputnik Washington w Until the Russians shot their dog Laika 1.000-plus miles into space, a " U.S. monkey named Albert was believed to have held the rec ord as the highest living flying creature. Albert, who now resides at Washington's zoo, was rocketed 38 miles high by the Air Force in September, 1952. Two mice went with him and survived, but It was not known whether .they are still alive. Albert is one of a variety of p, animals sent into the atmosphere by the Air Force in rockets and r balloons over' the past 10 years. Some survived, some did not. All were gatherer data which will smooth maneventual path into outer space. The Air Force said today it sent a dog on a 30-hour balloon flight at an altitude of more than 70,000 feet in the summer of 1954.

It would require no miracle to tap it. Nothing was so impressive as this latent desire for friendship during an 18-day tour of four Middle Eastern countries. It was the same whether we talked to taxi drivers or shop keepers or to political figures such as Premier Sami Solh of Lebanon, President Nasser of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan some of the problems of space flight, such as oxygen shortage and cosmic ray penetration, are encountered. The Air Force did not have details available on the dog flight but said the ani mal survived. Other Animals Besides monkeys and dogs, Air Force rocket and balloon experi ments have involved black mice, white mice, hamsters, fruit flies and cats. ' The Air Force disclosed Mon day that its aeromedical labora tory has acqu.red four black Oregon Day Due At Brussels Fair Salem (IP!

Equally impressive, however, was a feeling that the key to this friendship lies in recognizing that these are independent states caught up in a tremendous up surge of nationalism. Growing Movement Nothing is going to stop this movement. It is this keen feeling of nationalism that reacts so vio lently to the slighest suspicion that some big outside power is bears. While the service denied they would ride in roskets or travel over the ground on super sonic sleds, - there were indica tions they will be used in pres sure chambers which simulate high altitude conditions. Albert, another monkey that later died a natural death and the two mice ascended to almost 200,000 feet in an Aerobee rock et in a test at Holloman Air Force Base, Alamogordo, N.M. The monkeys were anesthetized so that they could not meddle with instruments recording their physiological reactions. The ani mals experienced "no unusual effects," the Air Force said. They came down by parachute. In the four years prior to Albert's flight, the Air Force sent five monkeys and three mice aloft in V2 and Aerobee Portland Vice Probe Witness Dies of Cancer Portland (IP) John W. Vance, 45, a witness in Portland's vice probe, died Sunday of cancer. Vance was the witness who told the Senate Rackets Com mittee last March he could not testify to a lie because he was "going to meet his Maker in a few months." He was a former employee of James B. Elkins. mmm DISPLAY O 315 E. 5th trying to tell them how to run their own affairs. The West is most suspect be cause it was not too long ago that Britain and France ruled the area. They still have a vital economic stake there. The fact the United States is an ally of France and Britain is something that is not forgotten. America's condemnation of the Anglo-French attack on Egypt last year raised U.S. pres tige to a high that unfortunately has not been maintained. rockets in tests "to determine if man can fly in outer space." Some went as high as 80 miles exceeding Albert's mark. They survived the flights, but four were killed when the parachutes attached to capsules containing them failed to open. The fifth landed safely but died from the 130-degree heat in the New Mexico desert where he was ma rooned for an hour before a search party got to him. Chinese Nationalisis Sink Red China Boats Taipeh, Formosa (IP) Chi nese Nationalist naval vessels sank six "large and small" Com munist Chinese gunboats in a before dawn engagement today south of Matsu island, the Na tion Defense Ministry an nounced The announcement said the Red gunboats were intercepted a short distance from Matsu, the key northern offshore island only 10 miles off the Commu nist held mainland. The announcement said Red shore batteries opened up on the Nationalists naval vessels dur ing the engagement but caused no casualties. w f Street Today, one year after the United States was being hailed in Egypt as a champion, we are being accused by Nasser of try ing to overthrow his govern ment and of attempting to domi nate Egypt by economic pres sure just as Britain and France had previously done by force. What is particularly rankling to the Egyptians is the failure of the United States to release Egypt's blocked funds. In Cairo, President Nasser recalled this refusal in the same breath with which he hailed America's role in halting the Suez attack. "One day a friend," he said. 'The next day, the dagger." Egypt is in many ways the key to the Mid-Eastern situa tion. Nasser is popular in his country and in Syria where his photographs are liberally plas tered in public places and in shops and private offices. Chance for Improvement An improvement in Western Neuberger Proposes Secretary of Science Los Angeles Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) advocates creation of a new cabinet post, that of secretary of science, to handle problems related to atom ic energy, missiles and inter planetary vehicles. Neuberger, here to speak at the Los Angeles County Confer ence on Community Relations, said Monday that the United States is "contending with a co lossus bigger than 'we are and we ought to get down to busi ness. "We are not using the brains of our people properly," he add ed. "No wonder the Russians are ahead of us." The senator, in suggesting the new cabinet post, said that such things as atomic energy, mis siles and interplanetary vehicles "ought to be decided in labora tory, not in the barracks." The world-famous Taj Mahal structure, known for the beauty of its architecture, is said to have cost $15 million. 3 LVSJCIV (JO,N THE MANY THOUSANDS OF ?

Cordy, county horticulturist. The mice can do considerable damage to fruit trees, he said, so they should be poisoned either by using poison grains or an endrin spray. Mice collect in the grass and weeds at the base of the trees and nibble on the bark just above the ground. Depending on the other food, supplies, Cory said, they can completely girdie the trees if they are not killed. If grain is used to poison the rodents, it should be without husks as the mice remove them before eating the grain. Although spray is reported to be more expensive, it is more effective, Cordy said, as complete elimina tion can be obtained. Orchardists should check or chards as soon as possible to determine whether they have mice, he said. Cordy added that if the fruit tree is completely girdled by the mice, bridge grafting would be necessary to save the tree.

JP1OT 7o Said Hot ing of Egyptian funds at a time of crisis, there are several other American actions that sorely rankle the Egyptians. Among these are: The abrupt cancellation of the American agreement to sell arms to Egypt in 1953, a move that is laid directly at the door of British pressure. The cancel lation came while an Egyptian mission was in the United States to procure the arms. This action carried a lasting sting of humil iation. The equally abrupt with drawal of American aid for the Aswan high dam project. It is difficult not to feel that a little more diplomacy might have headed off the turbulent events that followed this decision. The manner in which the Eisenhower doctrine was launched. The Egyptians and the Syrians do not accept this doctrine for what it is a for mula reflecting the sincere de sire of the United States to help the Mid-Eastern countries solid ify and strengthen their inde pendence.
