By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Esparto Grass for Rope Valuable Algerian Crop Algiers, May 24 Via TWA This city is linked to all Americans by our great Naval hero, Stephen Decatur, who compelled the Dey of Algiers to lay off attacking Ameri can ships by his visit here in 1815. I thought of that in visit ing the Kasbah, part of the old city that stands 400 feet up a steep hillside. And the reason for Decatur's visit was driven home to me a little later when visiting a church. For centuries before De catur came, Algiers had been a major sea power. A tablet in a church underscored the fact. It commemorated some Irishmen taken captive by two Algerian corsair crews when they swept down on the City of Baltimore, Ireland, sacked it, then brought their prisoners back to Algiers. The year was 1631. But the Arab population to day, despite the present polit- BCMB PROTEST In the sixth day of their hunger strike in the lobby of the Atomic Energy Commission headquar ters at Germantown, Md., members of a group protesting nuclear bomb tests are shown waiting for a hearing from AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss.

Meanwhile, reports circu lated among congressional tax experts that President Ei senhower was standing firm in his opposition to any im mediate broadscale tax cuts to help fight the recission. That appraisal followed a conference by Treasury Sec retary Robert B. ' Anderson with Democratic House lead ers. Democratic leaders said An derson did not answer the question of whether the ad ministration might recom mend some excise tax reduc tions when it asks Congress to extend certain excise and corporation levies.

Salem (UPI) The State Higway commission Saturday awarded a $1,318,441 contract to Peter Kiewit Sons' comp any, Medf ord, for 3.55 miles of grading on the Oregon coast highway about 16 miles south of Gold Beach. There were 10 higher bidders. A banana. stalk bears only one bunch (100 to 200) in a season. ical difficulties, are devoting their energies to agriculture and industry. I passed over immensely rich country on my way south to Laghout, on the edge of the desert. Part of it seemed like a vast orange grove and vegetable garden. The vineyards, from which the fine Algerian wines come, were most impressive. Near Laghout I saw the harvesting of esparto grass, a gray-green type that grows in clumps up to 10 feet wide and with leaves that may be a yard long. This, too; is a valuable Al gerian crop. While today one of its principal uses is for making a high grade of paper, it has been used for centuries throughout western North Africa and southern Spain to make rope, sandals, baskets and mats. For years, the , Spanish Navy made cables out of it. They preferred esparto cables. Not only were they as strong as any other but they had the added virtue of not sinking when lost overboard. Esparto, or alfa as it is called here, toughens as it ages 12 to 15 years are re quired for development of a crop. The harvesters pluck it by hand. Then, after it is sun dried, it is bundled and shipped. The Algerian type is very much like a species of espar to that grows in our West and is found all the way from Canada to Mexico.
