They count the murdered and wounded here in the hundreds. One responsible newspaper esti mated 2,750 casualties in Paris and a few other areas of France an average of nine a day this year! So far the murder victims are overwhelmingly Algerians. About 550 of them have been strangled, knifed or shot to death. Nine Europeans have been killed, but mostly as innocent bystanders. In a sense, they are casualties of the bigger conflict in Algeria where French forces are trying to wipe out a rebellion. There are more than 300,000 Algerians in France, most of whom live in or near Paris. Most are unskilled x laborers. Few speak French. They crowd shab by hotels, frequent Moslem cafes. They can enter France at will since Algeria is a part of the French nation. Many of them are hard-working and peace - loving. They send money to relatives in Algeria and whole communities are supported by them. Algerian Army Hard-pressed The Algerian rebel army, hard pressed for money, sends collect ors to France to "solicit" funds Some of the killed and wounded are shopkeepers or workers who refused to pay. Some are members of the ri val independence organizations, the extremist National Libera tion Front and the more moder ate Algerian National Movement. Their feud is violent. And there is a third deadly factor racketeers who pretend to be from the independence groups and collect at gunpoint strictly for themselves. Algerians do not talk to po lice. Recently four North Afri cans were picked up for ques tioning while driving a car. It took 15 minutes of interrogation before one of the men admitted the other three were taking him for a ride: Direct Service for Southwest Approved San Francisco Southwest Airways has announced Civil Aeronautics Board approval for the continuation of direct serv ice between Eureka Areata and Redding, Calif., as well as Red Bluff, Chico, Marysville and Sac ramento.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington (Special) The National Rivers and Harbors Congress and Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D O r e.) have lodged similar protests with President E i s e n h ower and Vice President Nixon against proposed cut backs in fed eral funds riv A. Robt Smitb er development next year. Both took the position that if Russia can develop mis siles and build water develop ment projects simultaneously, then certainly the United States need not sacrifice its public works program in order to put more money into missiles. " The rivers and harbors organ ization is headed by a group of members of Congress from both parties, including Republican leader of the House, Joe Martin. Its current president is Rep. Overton Brooks (D-La.). Reports have leaked out in the last week that the adminis tration is set to invoke a "no new starts policy once again on river projects and, according to one source, slash the public works spending budget by some 20 per cent. Won't Hasten Sputniks In a letter and memo to Nixon, the rivers and harbors group declared: "We feel that the United States did not lag behind Russia in launching missiles and satellites because it was appropriating funds for a reasonable program of water resources development. We also feel that we shall not hasten the launching of Ameri- NORGE 30" RANGE : 1139' 00 IT I Ralls Brown - Green 12 CARPET Reg. 5.95 385 per yd. nr Virginia Made LANE CHESTS $9 95 J Phone SP 2-7121 can sputniks and missiles by abruptly halting or crippling our public works program. We op pose cuts in public works and related water development pro grams. We believe that if addi tional appropriations for the military establishment are de termined to be necessary, these may be made available by econo mies in less essential areas of the budget." The group suggested that one place to cut was in aid for for eign nations to develop their resources and economies. It ask ed for domestic priority in this work. The organization went on to point out that the Soviets press ed their successful missile pro gram "without curtailing their own program of waterway im provement." In the memo to Nixon, the group stated: "Even now, they are pushing ahead with long-term plans for the electrification and automa tion of their entire inland wa terway system. They are apply ing the power of atomic energy to propelling 'icebreakers and cargo boats, and blasting sea lanes through the Arctic ice under long-term programs ex tending through 1960 and even as far ahead as 1970, they are building 19 new ports and ex panding their inland waterway system through a construction program that some of our Ameri can citizens would surely call 'pork barrel projects.' "We feel that if the Russians can carry out these two pro grams simultaneously the mis sile and the water development programs the United States can certainly do the same." No Time To Throttle Pump The congress also said that "sharp curtailment of public works will contribute to. the present uneasy business situa tion." It added that "now is no time to throttle the pump." Senator Neuberger, in his let ter to the president, stressed that Northwest power dams provided energy needed for defense pro duction in World War II, helping produce aluminum for warplanes and making possible the Hanford atomic works. He said: "Full and well-planned devel opment of the power potential of the Columbia basin, far from being a dispensable luxury, would .add a margin of safety to the nation's energy reserves, energy in a form which cannot be obtained overnight after the need for it becomes obvious and desperate." "The fundamental significance of energy resources for national strength is fully recognized by those with whom we compete. On its own vast rivers, the Soviet Union is engaged in building as many as 40 new power projects, several of them larger than even our own Grand Coulee." Neuberger suggested that sac rifices may have to be made in shifting more expenditures to defense "but such a shift, in a nation devoting vast portions of its economy to automobiles, tele vision sets, entertainment, liquor and tobacco, should surely come out of the top margin of unessen tial and luxury consumption, not out of public programs for de veloping basic economic strength and for underwriting minimum social standards." "How would the mighty United States look abroad," asked Neu berger, "if we admit tnat we can match Soviet accomplish ments only at the cost of sacri ficing at home the kind of basic economic and social programs which are the goals and aspira tions of the nations now choos ing between, communism and democracy?" Recognized in Past The Oregon senator-reminded the president that "the adminis tration has in the past recog nized the significance of water power projects for national strength, by granting fast tax-write-off privileges which have been defended precisely as emer- Pendleton (IP) Jack Lee, 70, former Pendleton city council man and municipal judge, died Thursday". By Jimmy Hatlo gency measures to induce a shift of national resources into such projects. Will the administra tion, then, defend the position that private corporations in the United States can afford to build these great, needed power proj ects, such as John Day, but the federal government cannot?" Neuberger asked Eisenhower to give assurance that "federal programs of vital importance (to the Northwest) will not be fur ther cut back" and that the forthcoming budget contain "the full amount which the Corps of Engineers can effectively use in the construction of John Day dam on the Columbia River I believe 830,000,000." The budget is due to go to Congress in about four weeks. GUARANTEED FINEST MAJOR GASOLINE "On the Point" ANY GASOLINE PURCHASE Entitles You To Buy These SPECIALS!

Morgan said that in the south ern Oregon area where Southern Pacific has no rail competition, the costs to shippers of cleaning boxcars before they can be load ed amounts to "several hundred thousand dollars a year." Morgan said he proposed the informal hearing to try to reach a solution instead of carrying out his original plan to hold hearings and proceed in the courts to give southern Oregon shippers "the same service" as received elsewhere.
