-Editorial Correspondence . . .
New York City, N.Y. Well our one-way ticket has final
ly been used up. We have come the long way around but
here we are in the most exciting, if not the largest, city in
the world.
It has been quite a change from Rice Mountain lodge in
more ways than one.
In the first place at Mt. Kisco it was a change family-wise
from kindergarten nursery to Junior High school.
In the second place it was a change from three girls and
one boy to three boys arid one girl a whale of a difference.
In the third place we are for the first time in a city hotel
where we can get anything we wish without moving from
our easy-chair, provided we can pay for it. And as we have
been here many times in the past, our credit is still good. So
far so good.
Finally, this will be a brief visit with family No. 2, chief
ly in preparation for seeing them off to Europe, assuming
the parents of that family are able to walk up the gang plank
by then. Some idea of the work involved may be gleaned
from the fact two trips in a station wagon will have to be
made from Mt. Kisco before the half-dozen and their impedi
menta, can be landed safely on the dock. It is a terrific job
but probably from the standpoint of recreation and educa
tion including parental it will be worth it.
The weather has been "execrable." Cold and raining in
the Adirondacks, hot and humid in Mt. Kisco and here. We
would not attempt to count up
midnight thunderstorm like the good old days, but it was
before we moved to the coast. At Mt. K'isco the other night
there was a humdinger, with flashes of lightning every few
seconds and terrific crashes of thunder. One of these flashes
followed instantly by a terrific crash, that shook "Kittle" to
the basement. We were sure it had hit our temporary dwell
ing. But we were mistaken, there was a fire alarm but it was
for a house about a quarter of a mile away.
Incidentally, our driver noted the same house had been
hit threertimes in the last few years, but no one was hurt and
the first damage slight. (They remind us of the villagers liv
ing on the side of Mt. Vesuvius, who after each eruption in
sist upon rebuilding in the same old vineyard.)
New York, as far as observed, has not change noticeably
in a year. It is still one of the loneliest places in the world,
and yet one where it is most difficult to be alone: That is,
an outlander can walk around the streets for weeks and
never see anyone he ever saw before, and yet from sunrise
to sunset can walk his legs off and, not even in the hinter
land of Central Park, be alone. There are people, packs of
them,, everywhere, as for motor vehicles, of all shapes and
sizes let the Census Bureau' tend 'to that. It's astronomic.
We motored down here from
4 and 6 lane freeway via Saw
dentally is one we could have thrown a silver dollar across,
its average width we should guess is less than three feet.)
It is a marvelous thoroughfare however, and there isn't
billboard the entire distance. Nor an intersection there
ere only exits and entrances. Once more the established speed
limit is a joke. We saw no car
not one in a thousand does. Yet
rare.
Finally the freeway absolutely bans trucks of all kinds
and of course bicycles, push-carts, roller skates, etc., etc. A
couple of tolls have to be paid but it's dirt cheap at the
price.
Talk about a double standard of morals. We note by the
strongly Republican Herald-Tribune that former Governor
Adams of New Hampshire and President Eisenhower's "alter
ego" accepted hotel expenses and other gifts from a Bernard
Goldfine who had favors to ask of the" government. When
Secretary Haggerty was asked
fered from similar gifts accepted by members of the Federal
Communications commission in the present administration
nd the so-called "mink-coat" scandals in the Truman ad
ministration, he refused to answer. He only Said "Mr. Adams
does not consider anything he
proper or that it in any way
present administration."
Haggerty added that the
Adams.
We trust someone will explain the moral difference be
fore the incident is closed. Regardless of party we believe
there are millions of American citizens who, with the. infor
mation at hand, can see none.
This is another day. t
The oppressive heat and
a midnight thunderstorm, the
cool. Yesterday everyone was
parel, today a winter suit would be comfortable.
That's the climatic way in
as in the Mid-West. A change in temperature of 30 or 40 de
grees in 24 hours is common.
The newspaper boys are still asking Secretary Haggerty
about those gifts from the Boston industrialist Bernard Gold-
fine and he still refuses to answer.
He used the entirely familiar and discredited dictum of
"Caveat Emptor" "Let the Buyer Beware."
He does not deny various gifts were given to the Presi
dent's personal representative, but he bluntly states these
presents, unlike the mink coats, had nothing to do with the
case. The question is did Mr. Goldfine get any special privi
leges, and it is up to the critics to prove he did, or keep their
mouths shut. '
Once more, "it is nice work if you can get it" and
keep it.
We are duly grateful to the Kansas City Athletics for
allowing the undersigned to be on hand when the N.Y. Yan
kees were beaten in a doubeheader, and to the Detroit Tigers
for beating the same "unbeatable team" last night 4-2. The
report was taken over the radio but it' was no less sweet than
to be an eye-witness. R.W.R.

the day's events had incised

"Hunting fellaghas," he re
marked, "is like hunting wild

still have a blank day, like

rpHE Major s somber remarks
A are a cood operational
summary of the grand battue
in the forest of Tamed j out, in
the high mountains . of the
Kabyle country, which this
reporter saw as the guet of
the second battalion of the
ninth regiment of Infanterie
Marine. An operation without
causualties except from sun
stroke (of which there were
several) may seem a little un-
dramatic. But the story of the
day will at least give an idea
of how the French Army in
Algeria carries on its un
ending hunt.
Dinner last night in the
little officer's mess here in
Bordj Menaiel was like an
evening meal in a hunting
camp. The talk was of past
hunts, unsuccessful and suc
cessful with enough stories
of the latter to make it clear
the fellagaha did not lead an
easy life. A little Indochinese
war orphan, who was brought
to the mess by the old Cap
tain who had adopted him,
wanted to offer his usual after-dinner
entertainment
the French manual of arms
performed by a smiling five-year-old.
But take-off . hour
was 1:30 a.m., so the usual
entertainment was tenderly
cut short.
FOUR hours' sleep, a: quick
wash and shave (for the
officers of the Infanterie Ma
rine are not sloppy in the
field), coffee and bread has
tily gulped down and then
the battalion column forms
with the ease of long practice,
and with no light to show the
men and vehicles their places
except the curious, milky
luminescence of the soft Al
gerian night. The old Captain
is almost late. "The child was
fretful," he muttered apolo
getically. But the long col
umn moves off on time, with
armored half-tracks, officers'
command jeeps and big trucks
full of troops all in view or
der. Hour after hour always
with no lights, the. column
winds slowly upwards over
tracks that would not make
pleasant daytime driving. One
is hardly conscious of any
thing except the night-sharpened
smells of road dust and
wild lavender. Then, just at
dawn, the assembly point is
reached on a craggy shelf
where the vehicles are left
behind. -
Maps are checked. The
Major in command coordin
ates times, places, telephone
codes and all the rest with
his hard-bitten looking com
pany officers. The companies
set out, each in single file,
through the gnarled olive and
fig trees on the steep moun
tain flanks. It is a long, grim,
breathless climb, even to the
first battalion command post.
But the men of the companies
must push down from crests
where the C. P. is set up.
By Joseph AIsop
They must search the slopes
that often have an angle of
close to 50 degrees, to their
destined forward positions.
rpHESE are the mountains
the gave birth to Krim Bel
Kacem, one of the high com
mand of the F. L. N. The for
est of Tamedjout, more scrub
than forest, lies in a violently
contorted fold of these moun
tains, with a drop sharply
downwards to a water course
a full 400 meters below the
C. P..'s crest. We are high
enough to look down on the
great white buzzards that
float with effortless grace on
the ocean of air far below us.
Yet far above our crests are
the towering crags of the
Djurdjura range, still bearing
traces of snow although the
temperature on our - own
mountaintop is pushing up to
wards 100 degrees by 8 a.m.
Our battalion companies to
day are the hunters. Three
more battalions, starting from
other crests, are the beaters
in this hunt. By 8 a.m. the
net is closed, the link-up is
complete. So we of the C. P.
make the long march to our
forward final position, sweat
ing under a sun already ter
rible, and thinking guiltily of
the companies that cannot
halt, as we. shall halt.
THAT, really, is the whole
day's story! But all day
long under a sun ever-gaining
in cruel intensity the net is
methodically drawn tighter
and tighter. Lajoie (the Colo
nel in dverall command),
Lamouette (our own com
mander) and the other battal
ion C. P.s keep up an endless,
tense radio conversation with
one another and with their
companies to make sure there
are no holes in the ever-
tightening net.
So the long day passes,
with thirst growing always
more obsessive, with the sun
beating down more and more
remorselessly, with the hunt
ers and the beaters toiling on
wards. But the fellagha band
that usually hides out in the
forest of Tamedjout must have
a cave the beaters missed,' or
they must have moved off to
wards the Djurdjura. "Pas de
gibier" "no game here" is
the final bitter verdict.
Yet it has been a lesson to
watch the operation all the
same, because of its toughly
professional character, and be
cause, in all this long, grueling
day, I never heard more than
a word of sardonically joking
complaint from the men who
must do this sort of thing
day after day and week after
week, until their service ends.
"It's a hell of a life," said
the old Captain, when he led
in his grimy sweat-bathed
company after a return climb
up the 400 meters of mountain
face. "But I would still rather
have our life than a f ellagha's
life. We'll get them next time.
Wait and see."

The members walked

ate a 13-course dinner and

A hunter in Nepal (Nepal

just killed an animal that
may be related to the Abom

the creature people have been
seeing over the generations
and calling it the Abominable
Snowman.
It is described by the hunt
er as 4V feet tall and incredi
bly strong. Its skull and hide
are being brought back to
civilization to be examined by
scientists.
A LONG the same general
line, four scientists have
just reported they discovered
a mountain range that would
be worth a fortune if it wasn't
for poor transportation.
They are the first known
men ever to visit the Pensa

400 miles from the south pole.
There, they say, they found
iron ore, nickel, copper,
chromium and possibly "rare
elements" (but no gold or dia

After visiting with their
families, they hope to return
to the Antarctic for further
investigation.

the responsibilities that rest
on his shoulders, a man in his

to say no a thousand times to

Delinquency Control
Editor's note: This is the
second of two articles con
cerning the court treatment
of juvenile cases in the Ore
gon courts.
By DOROTHY ANN WEST
Ineffective juvenile court
systems do not usually result
from a controversy over effec
tive methods of dealing with
delinquency, but from the fact
that many cities find thenf
selves saddled with a poor
juvenile court simply because
of the inadequacies of state
law.
A few states have taken
action to improve services to
youthful offenders through
organized state plans. Others,
however, have been content
to argue about method but
have done little to solve the
problem of juvenile control
Oregon is one of these states
Not Yet Ready
It is true that Oregon at
this time, is not ready, socially
or financially, to adopt an
organized state plan like those
used in larger, wealthier
states such as California and
New York. Many Oregon
counties have recorgnized this
and are individually approach
ing a solution to the problem
of dealing effectively, with
delinquency. Only one, Mult
nomah, has made observable
progress in that direction. Be
cause it already has the mec
hanism, needed to- achieve the
goal for which most counties
are still striving, a juvenile
court and detention' home,
Multnomah has been able to
put all its effort toward more
effective work. The other
other counties still have the
diffiault problem of building
a workable court system.
Recommendations for state
wide development of a more
effective juvenile court sys
tem have been made year af
ter year. The most recent
were those presented in 1952
by the Oregon . Governor's
State Committee on Children
and Youth. Oregon has not
been able to adopt even these
recommendations, which are
ONE'S first impulse is to
conclude that there's a lot
of politics in the accusations
against him. We're all of us
certainly going to want to
hear his side of the story be
fore making up our minds.
But, considering the serious
ness of the charges, he is be
ing rather slow about giving
us his side of the story.
As it stands now, a man
who would accept the kind of
gifts this Goldfine person is
reported to have given to

lomatic recognition.
In the past, in frequent in
cidents like the present one,
the United States has dealt
with Soviet Russian occupa
tion forces in East Germany.
This time, the Russians re
fused to act. They said that
the East German government
alone was competent to nego
tiate the soldiers' release.
Repudiate Pact
There was a flagrant repu
diation of Russia's obligations
under the four power agree
ment under which Germany
was partitioned after World
War II.
On the surface, the incident
means little. It is simply one
of the innumerable disputes
that have arisen between the
United States and Soviet au
thorities in divided Germany.
Everybody knows that the
East Germans Reds are the
most servile of Russia's pup
pets. The territory which',
with Soviet support they keep

No drastic chances in our
society are possible without
strong public opinion in favor
of the change, particularly
when tax monev is involved.
What Oregon needs more than
anything else is an organized
group that recognizes the
great need for a chance in
our juvenile program and is
willing to do something about
it, not only through legisla
tion but through a sustained
campaign to educate the pub
lic, to raise funds, . and to
plan carefully.
Such a group might also
find the solution to one of the
problems which besets the
present court system the
lackof trained staff members
As the public begins to see
the need of a new and ef
fective system to deal with
juvenile delinquency and be
comes interested in the prob
lem, more and more youne
people will enter the juvenile
casework field.
What is the best solution
to the problem of estbalishing
an etfective court system af
ter this enthusiasm is aroused?
No drastic change can be
wrought overnight; Oregon
simply does not have the fin
ancial or -personnel strength
to establish a big program
immediately.
Utah Cited .
A plan based on . Utah's
Bureau of Services for chil
dren might be a practical goal
toward which to work. In
the long run it would be no
more expensive for the state
than uniform laws under the
Circuit Courts. Each county
under our present svstem
would be forced to budget a
much larger sum than usual
for the courts in order to pro
vide the proper facilities and
staff demanded by effective
uniform state laws.
Under the Utah plan, Ore
gon would be divided into
several districts for court pur
poses, probably five, making
only five juvenile courts, five
judges, and five detention
facilities for the entire state
and allowing Oregon to take
full advantage of the trained
personnel available at this
time.
A central office would ap
point both iudees and proba
tion officers on the basis of
their ability, training, and
understanding and, since there
would be fewer courts, cen
trally located Child Guidance
centers could be used to fuller
advantage than they are now.

There is nothing West Ger
many can do in the present
instance. But it depends on
the United States as its main
encroachment by Russia and
it does not want to seeOthe
United States make any con
cessions to Russia through the
East Germans.
There is one encouraging
thing. Dulles evidently be
lieves that negotiations with
the East Germarfs will not
lead to any weakening of the
United States position.
grams could be established
which wouid not only help
the youth but give the courts
a broader background on
which to base the sentence.
As more funds become
available, several training in
stitutions could be establish
ed in addition to the two now
operating. This would allow
the courts to segregate the
children on the basis of age,
mental capacities, emotional
stability, aptitudes, and inter
ests. It seems only logical that
different training programs
designed to fit individual
types of problems would be
more effective than one gen
eral training program.
Awakening Needed
Although the establishment
of diversified institutions is
an important part in the pro
gram of the rehabilitation of
delinquents into good citizens
it will be impossible to raise
the funds to build and staff
such institutions until Oregon
citizens awaken to the serious
ness of the need. Until that
happens, it is evident that no
great strides m solving the
juvenile court problem will
be made.
But it is also evident that
the slow progress of the coun
ties, individually, is not keep
ing step with the rapid rise
of the rate of delinquency.
Oregon's best hopes for
establishing an effective meth
od of dealing with juvenile
delinquency in the courts are
(1) a powerful strike at the
general apathy and (2) state
wide uniformity in juvenile
laws, court standards, and de
tention programs. O
