Sam Coon Popular
In ICA Job in Peru
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Sam Coon has
been in Lima, Peru, a whole
year and no one has thrown a
jock at him yet.
The ex-congressman from
Baker is deputy director of
th U. S. foreign aid agency,
International Cooperation Ad
ministration, for Peru.
"They must save the rocks
for the higher officials,"
joked Coon, who is back for
a week on official business.
It was in Lima that Vice
President Nixon was grazed
by a rock thrown by students
at one of the universities
which Nixon visited.
Speaking more seriously,
Cooa declared that both he
and Mrs. Coon like their as
signment very much.
"It's a good city, a good
country, and good people to
be with," he averred.
Coon said ICA sponsors five
programs in Peru, principally
Jn agriculture, health and ed
ucation improvements. The
others are labor and general
development.
Beyond that, Coon said he
couldn't tell about his work
or why he was brought - to
Washington. Asked if he was
under wraps because of a new
order by the state department
which prohibits officials from
talking with newsmen infor
mally, Coon said:
"I don't know that it's new.
It's been in effect for the year
I've been with ICA. I'm not
supposed to give out press re
leases or talk to newspaper
men about what we are doing.
Governor Pledges
Support of Guard
Miami Beach, Fla. (W
Support of nationwide efforts
to keep National Guard
strength at 400,000 was voiced
Wednesday by Gov. Robert D.
Holmes at the National Gov
eraors' conferenct here.
"When both our economic
and diplomatic slips are show
ing, we certainly need to keep
our powder dry," Gov.
Holmes said in referring to
the need for a competent re
serve force.
"It has occurred to me that
recent revents, particularly
those in the Middle East,
North Africa and Latin Amer
ica, indicate a critical deter
ioration of our international
prestige," the governor con
tinued. The governor said he
thought the National Guard
Yould be particularly useful
irf cases of limited war or local
ditwter.
And I don't want to get into
trouble."
Coon spent some time oh
Capitol Hill lunching with old
colleagues m the House res
taurant, apparently contacting
key members of the Appro
priations Committee, possibly
to plug for funds for the for
eign aid or trade programs.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) has joined Justice
William O. Douglas and his
walking band of protestants
who make an annual pilgrim
age here in behalf of the
beauty of nature.
Douglas for some years has
been hiking part of the length
of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, where the interior de
partment has proposed build
ing a parkway. It runs from
Washington to Cumberland,
Md., along the Potomac river,
and is now a beautiful wilder
ness left standing since the ad
vent of the railroads.
The first year Douglas and
his cohorts, including some
puffing newsmen, hiked the
full 168-mile length. This
year they went i6lA miles,
starting early after camping
out overnight in order to
make the hike during the cool
est, part,.of the-day.
Neuberger couldn't keep up
with the steady f our-mile-an-hour
pace the 59-year-old
Douglas set, but he walked
the full distance.
He had no comment when
asked if this was to keep in
shape for going the other mile
with his colleague, Sen.
Wayne Morse.
' Morse himself is no slouch
at outdoor activity, for he
keeps in shape on his farm in
nearby Maryland on week
ends. Last winter he had an
experience which demonstrat
ed his ruggedness.
Scheduled to make a speech
in Johnstown, Pa., he found
that because of a heavy snow
storm the airlines had can
celled all flights. So he took
off by car, driving over the
AUeghenies to get there in
time for his engagement.
Returning that night as far
as he could go, he was forced
by snowdrifts to stay over
night in a small town hotel.
Next morning, though told the
roads were blocked to Wash
ington, he set out and got to
within four miles of his farm
via a network of back roads.
He hiked through the snow
the last four miles, then pro
ceeded to saddle up his horse
and ride out to bring in a
bunch of his prize cattle that
refused to buck snowdrifts, to
return to the barn and food.
His horse threw him into a
drift, but he saved his cattle
before coming in soaking wet
for a change into warm, cay
clothing.

Rites for Unknown Soldier
Part of Memorial Day Plans
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press, Correspondent
Washington (IP) World
War 11 cost the lives of 293,
105 U. S. servicemen. And
33,629 died of battlefield
wounds or in , prison camps
during the Korean war.
Next week, on Memorial
Day, the President and people
of the United States will ex
press their gratitude to these
men with profound ceremony.
The First World War es
tablished a way of doing this.
It calls for bringing home the
body of an unidentified ser
viceman, exhumed from a
nameless grave in an overseas
military cemetery, and re
burying him with every honor
the nation can bestow in Ar
lington National cemetery.
The unknown soldier of
World War I was buried at
Arlington on Nov. 11, 1921.
The Korea war broke out
in 1950 just as the United
States was preparing to per
form the same symbolic rite
for its dead of World War II.
So now there are two wars
to be remembered; two un
known bodies to be placed in
new marble cryps alongside
the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier.
One of them already has
been selected.
On May 15, four flag-draped
caskets, containing uniden
tified remains of Americans
who died on Korean battle
fields, were placed in a row
at the National Cemetery in
Hawaii. A Korean combat
veteran, M. Sgt. Ned Lyle of
Erwin, Term., chose one of
them to be the unknown ser
viceman of the. Korean war.
The choice of the World
War II unknown has been
narrowed down to two cask
ets one from the European
battlefields and one from the
Pacific.
The final selection will be
made next Monday, May 26,
during a ceremony aboard the
guided missiles cruiser USS
Canberra, standing at sea off
the Virginia Capes. Medal of
Honor winner, Hospitalman
First Class William R. Char
ette of Ludington, Mich., will
choose one of the identical
caskets for burial at Arling
ton. The other will be buried
immediately at sea with naval
honors.
The caskets containing the
World War II unknown and
the Korean unknown then
will be transferred to the de
stroyer USS Blandy, ' which
will bring them up the, Poto
mac river to Washington.
A delegation f government
officials, headed by Secre
tary of Defense Neil McEl
roy and Secretary of the
Treasury Robert B. Ander
son, will meet the Blandy at
9:30 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday,
May 28.
The caskets will be trans
ferred to identical . hearses
and escorted to the rotunda
of the Capitol, . where they
will lie in state on black-draped
catafalques . until the
morning of Memorial Day,
May 30.
The funeral procession
will leave the Capitol at 1
p.m., (EDT) Friday, moving
down Constitution Avenue,
past the Vashington Monu
ment and the Lincoln memor
ial bridge to Arlington ceme
tery. At funeral pace, it will
take the procession an hour
and a quarter to reach Arlington.
Marching units of all the
armed forces, the service aca
demies and veterans organi
zations will lead the proces
sion. A special honor guard
composed of the chiefs and
vice chiefs of all the services
will follow. The caskets will
be borne on two horse-drawn
artillery caisons,. side by side.
Long List of Dignitaries
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon will ride in a black
car immediately behind the
caissons. Behind him will
come limousines bearing
members of the cabinet, jus
tices of the Supreme Court,
leaders of Congress and the
diplomatic corps, governors of
states and territories, the
Medal of Honor winners from
all the armed forces.
President Eisenhower will
drive directly from the White
LHouse to Arlington cemetery
to take part m the ceremon
ies. The funeral service in the
marble colonnaded Arlington
Memorial Amphitheater will
be patterned after that held
in 1921 for the Unknown Sol
dier of World War I. The Mar
ine Band will play the Na
tional Anthem, a chaplain
will give the invocation, and
trumpets will sound a triple
call to attention the sig
nal for everyone to stand with
head bared for two minutes
of silence.
The President will deliver
an address, and will place
Congressional Medals of Hon
or on each of the caskets.
In 1921, representatives of
each nation that had been al
lied with America in World
War I also stepped forward to
place military decorations on
the casket. This ceremony
Geddes To Speak
At GOP Conference
Salem (IP) Fourth District
Congressional Candidate Paul
Geddes, Roseburg, will head
the list of speakers slated to
appear at a regional Republi
can conference in Eugene this
Friday and Saturday.
State GOP Chairman James
F. Short, Salem, will deliver
the kickoff speech Friday
night and Geddes will make
the principal address at a

There are 71 countries out
side the domination of Rus
sia, or communism, which can
be called dictatorships. In 49
of these countries there are
outright dictators or govern
ing cliques. In the other- 22
nations, it is estimated that
2 per cent of the population
govern the other 98 per cent.
U. S. Planning Secret Weapon
Washington HP) Defense
Secretary Neil H. McElroy
hinted broadly in testimony
published Wednesday that
U.S. scientists are on the track
of a secret new weapon to put
enemy-rockets out of commis
sion. McElroy told a house appro
priations subcommittee there
is no assurance yet the Nike
Zeus, being developed by the
Army, will succeed in inter
cepting and shooting down on
coming enemy missiles."
Explaining why he did not
favor a $6 billion "crash" pro
gram for the Nike - Zeus, he
said, "there are alternative
ways of doing this which look
as if they may be "very much
more effective."
Some scientists' have talked
about the possibility of ex
ploding a hydrogen bomb in
the sky in the path of a mis
sile, setting up a heat barrier
which would melt it. Another
theory involves creating a
huge cloud of sand in the at
mosphere ' to cause friction
and burn up the rocket.
Camp McLoughlin has been
developed by the Crater Lake
Council, Boy Scouts of Amer
ica, for over 30 years and is
now valued at $69,000.
Regional Plan
Set For Power
Portland API . The Re
publican state -central commit
tee has approved the concept
of a regional corporation to
finance power projects, Wil
liam Niskanen of Bend, chair
man of the GOP power policy
committee, said Tuesday.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) has introduced a bill
aimed at setting up such a
corporation and hearings are
scheduled on it this week be
fore the Senate Public Works
Committee.
will not be repeated. One ob
vious reason is that it would
raise a w k w a r d questions.
Should Russia, an ally in
World War H, be included?
Would Japan be rated an en
emy of World War II or an
ally in the Korean war?
The ceremony will con
clude with the lowering of the
two caskets into prepared
marble crypts immediately ad
jacent to the 50-ton marble
tomb which marks the grave
of World War I's unknown.
Each of the crypts will later
be capped with a flajt slab of
granite. The one containing
the unknown serviceman of
World War II will be in
scribed with the dates ?'1941
1945" and the other with the
years "1950-1953."
