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-

Number of Jobless Continues Decline
Washington HP) The
number of jobless workers
drawing unemployment com
pensation benefits has de
clined for the fourth straight
week.
The Labor Department re

biggest one-week decline
since August, 1956.
Although it was the fourth

B. W. Peek, Mrs. Leon Evans,
Mrs. Ingrid Kurz, Mrs. Mabel

Mrs. Everett Grisson, leader.

straight week in which the
number of jobless drawing
benefits declined, the 3,101,
500 persons receiving pay
ments was more than double
the total a year ago.
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. '

OREGON-GROWN FRYERS

... And that's important! Like good sea

They keep all their fine food value, vita

grown fryers are fresher, because they
spend the least possible time coming from
farm to your table. They never spend days
traveling cross country. So whenever you

WHOLE ... HALVES ... OR PIECES
Oregon Fryers are perfect for barbecuing in any form
you choose. Try whole-body birds for your spit. Most
spits will accommodate two good sized fryers. Split
fryer halves are the thing for the open-top grill. Start
them with the skin side up, baste and turn often. Cut
up fryers are fine for the grill, too, especially where
there' are small children concerned. Keep turning and
basting frequently. Whole or half fryers will be done
in from 1 to iy2 hours; pieces take from 4 to 1 hour.

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.
