Summertime Reminders
T 1
Rain, then a series of a few blistering days,
then rain again, then heat again, than a violent
thunderstorm. It is "unusual."
But, nonetheless, summertime is here, and so
is vacation time, the time of travelling and idle
days, and casual entertainments for all ages.
Pleasant times, surely, but sometimes haz
ardous. FOR instance, drownings always increase in the
summertime, as the cool water beckons, and
adventurousness prevails over caution.
Remembering a few simple, common - sense
rules will prevent such tragedies such things
as never swimming alone, never diving into un
familiar pools, never swimming after eating, or
when heated or over-tired, and never gambling
that one can swim a long distance. There is a
"point of no return" in swimming as well as flying
oceans.
Boating, which is fast becoming America's
No. 1 outdoor participant sport, also has hazards
which too many people ignore. Proper life pre
servers and adequate fire extinguishers are re
quired by law a law which is too-much ignored.
Speeding boats can, and sometimes do, come too
close for comfort to other boats, and swimmers.
And death, by drowning or by collision, is so
permanent.
.
IN SUMMERTIME, youngsters are freer to roam
our attractive countryside than when school is
in session.
And there is one hazard which goes with the
considerable construction which is under way in
southern Oregon, and which is a worry to re
sponsible builders, and to law enforcement offi
cers and parents.
That is the innocuous-looking blasting cap
the tiny capsule which is used to set off a charge
of dynamite. Sometimes they are dropped at the
site of a blasting job, or en route to it. And they
look "interesting" to children, and relatively
harmless. '
But if they are set off by childish experiments,
they can blind, maim or kill. Their explosion
packs a terrific wallop. '
The Institute of Makers of Explosives warns:
"The caps are small copper or aluminum tubes
about as big around as a lead pencil. Generally they're
bright, but dampness may dull and corrode the metal
when they are exposed outdoors. ,
"There are two basic kinds, varying in length from
1 to 5V4 inches. The 'ordinary cap' is exploded by
. sparks from a fuse which is inserted in one end and
then lit. The other kind is an electric blasting cap.
The electric cap has two long wires coming out of
one end.
"Boys and girls should be able to recognize a blast
ing cap and realize the damage it can do. If they find '
. one, they should warn other children, and ask an
adult to call a policeman, sheriff, fireman, or other
law enforcement officer. He will know how to dispose
of it safely.
". . . When a cap explodes, hundreds of small pieces
of metal fly out in all directions, sometimes as far as
200 feet. Even at that distance, fragments from the
cap's disintegrating metal casing are hurled with
enough force to cause serious injuries."
ND then there's the possibility of getting lost.
Highways are so
"civilization" (in the form of gasoline stations,
restaurants and homes) is so widespread, that it
is easy to forget, or never realize at all, the possi
bility of getting lost in wilderness which, in
southern Oregon, frequently begins just out of
sight of a main-travelled highway.
But it happens every summer.
If one realizes he is, indeed, lost, the most
important piece of advice is this: DON'T panic,
and DO use your head.
Most "lost" casualties result from people get
ting scared, and doing silly things without think
ing. Many times probably most times a calm
appraisal of the situation will provide a way out.
DUT, if a person is lost beyond any immediate
chance of finding his way out, there are a
few rules to follow:
' 1. If someone knows you should be returning,
and will miss you, stay where, you are and, if
possible, build a small but smoky fire. Sooner or
later someone will come after you. Even if you
suspect no one will miss you, the smoke will be
reported and someone sent to check on the fire.
2. If this plan is not feasible for some reason
or other, the old rule of walking downhill, and
downstream, is generally a good one. Eventually
it will bring you to civilization. But here again,
use your head. There are some darn long walks
downstream in the coast range.
3. Prevention is a lot better than having to be
rescued. When out-of-doors, carry a compass, and
be familiar with the surrounding terrain. And if
you are lost, matches and a knife are mightly
handy things to have along.
pLEANLINESS, it is said, is next to Godliness.
And those who strew trash and debris
around the landscape, particularly in public
camps, picnic areas and highway shoulders are
by the same token workers for the devil.
Much of the beauty and attractiveness of the
outdoors is lost if unthinking people use it as a
garbage dump or wastebasket.
FINALLY, and far from least important, in the
woods be careful with fire.
Too many forest fires (although a declining
proportion, happily) are caused by human be
ings. A-carelesslytossed match or cigarette, a
fire left untended these can set off a raging
forest fire, endangering lives and destroying
property.
No one should permit himself to be respon
sible for such a disastrous result.
It can all be summed up thus:
Use common sense, be careful, have fun, and
take care not to spoil other people's fun. E.A.
good these days, and

British-Greek-Turkish Accord
Seen Needed for Calmer Cyprus
By CHARLES M. McCANN
UPI Foreign News Analyst
A British - Greek - Turkish
conference seems to offer tne
sole hope of settling the in-
c r e a s i n gly
dangerous dis
pute over Cy
prus. Great
Britain has an
nounced a
long consid
ered plan for

Charles M.
MeCann
land for the next seven years.
What would happen after
that is left for the future.
Under the plan, the Greek
and Turkish islanders would
be given a great measure of
home rule as separate commu
nities. The Greek and Turkish gov
ernments would be taken into
full partnership in carrying
out the plan.
The plan as it stands now
seemed doomed even before
British Prime Minister Har
old Macmillan announced it.
Both Greece and Turkey,
which had been informed of
its provisions, had said it was
unsatisfactory.
Plan Rejected
Now Greece has formally
rejected it.
Turkey, too, has rejected
the plan as it stands. But its
rejection was qualified.

Numbers, Weight
Of Argument Point
To Adams
By LYLE C. WILSON
UPI Correspondent
Washington (UPI) There
are numbers and a heavy
weight of argument in sup
port of the belief that Presi
dential Assistant Sherman
Adams must go.
The editorial consensus
seems to be
0mrmmn I against him.
I Congressional
R e p u blicans
who must con
front the vot
ers this year
are urging in
growing num
bers that Ad
ams quit. The
- 1 - i c
Lyle C. Wilson compiaxni oi
Republican candidates that
Adams would be a defeating
handicap in this year's gen
eral election must lay a heavy
burden on a New England
politician's conscience.
Whether Adams goes or
stays, however, will be by de
cision of President Eisenhow
er and, on the record of prec
edent, it is fairly obvious that
at least one more strike must
be called on Adams before
his boss waives on him.
Benson More Popular
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson has been under
hotter fire and longer than
any to which Adams has been
subjected. The circumstances
have been wholly different,
but the demand for Benson's
ouster was louder, came from
more Republicans and, more
over, was angrier than the
present demand that Adams
go.
Times change, as, for ex
ample, at last week's Repub
lican school of politics con
vened by the National Com
mittee for the instruction of
party chairmen from all the
states.
Benson was present at the
cocktail party at .which the
chairmen were to meet the
cabinet and members of the
White House staff. Chairmen
crow'ded around to meet him.
When a local politico suggest
ed to one of the visitors the
Republican chairman of a
dairy state that he be photo
lwraa
- i Jsphere. It is a place where the
Greece is holding out for
the island's "self-determination,"
knowing that the 400,
000 Greek Cypriote islanders
would vote for union with
Greece.
Turkey, which for a long
time was contented with Brit
ish rule over Cyprus, jiow
says it must be partitioned
between the Greeks and the
100,000 Turkish Cypriotes.
Britain has long been try
ing to arrange a formal con
ference with Greece and Tur
key over the island's future.
Turkey,- too, would like
such a conference. Greece,
however, has rejected the idea
that Turkey should have any
voice in the dispute.
Feeling in Greece and Tur
key, and between the Greek
and Turkish islanders, has
been getting more and more
angry.5
About 15 Greek islanders
have been killed in Turkish
Cypriote riots.
Renewed Violence
The-Greek underground or
ganization, EOKA, has resum
ed violence, after a long truce,
against Greek islanders who
are not sufficiently coopera
tive in the union-with-Greece
campaign.
Greece has withdrawn its
military mission from the
southeastern headquarters of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization at Ismir, Turkey.
There has even been talk
of war between Greece and
Departure
graphed with Benson, the
pair moved into the crowd
around Benson, accompanied
by one of the photographers
there for such purposes.
As the three approached
the group around Benson, an
other of the chairmen stopped
them with this remark:
"If you want your picture
with the secretary you will
have to get in line."
As recently as a year ago
it probably would have been
difficult to persuade most of
those chairmen even to be
seen talking with Benson, and
impossible to obtain a posed
picture.
A Republican veteran of
the campaign wars witnessed
the picture incident and re
marked: "That Benson will wind up
being the best politician of
the bunch."
Only Two Showed
This friendly judgment was
based very largely on the fact
that Benson was one of only
two cabinet members who
showed up for the party at
which the cabinet was to meet
the chairmen. The other was
Secretary of Interior Fred A.
Seaton, a pretty good politi
cian himself. Most of the cab
inet attended the much
swankier reception for Phil
ippines President Garcia.
Benson frankly informed
the Philippines Embassy that
it was most important for him
to be with state chairmen. He
could greet President Garcia
only briefly. That anecdote
will circulate widely at the
grass roots and it will boost
Benson's stock.
Adams' problem is quite
different. An unexplored area
of the Adams case is how des
perately Eisenhower actually
needs him.
The President's own expla
nation was that Adams had a
part, large or small, in every
official presidential act and
function. That almost makes
the two men interdependent.
This interdependence could
be so great, of course, that if
Adams were forced out, Ei
senhower's will to remain in
office would be broken. And
Ike, too, might step down.

Washington Washington
is a city with a clear identity
and no single identity at all.
There is a first
Wash ington
and a second
Wash ington
and the sec
ond is a world
away from
the first.
Though two
million people
live in its
wiium s. wait m iropoman
area, the first Washington is
basically a Southern town full
of quiet, tree-lined, streets and
shouting children. The native
accent is a rolling mixture of
Virginia and Maryland, with
Virginia considerably the
stronger.
i This Washington is auto
matically, placidly and inde-
Turkey, for there is every rea
son to believe that Turkey
would go to war rather than
let Greece get the island
Britain has announced it
will try to carry out its plan
alone if Greece and Turkey
refuse to cooperate. How that
would be possible, it is hard
to figure.

Teletype chatter:
A figure in the million-dol
lar Brink's robbery has been
shot to death in Boston.
John Bucelli was found- in
his car on a Boston street with
a bullet hole in his head.
TtfORE teletype chatter:
A friend of executed
killer Elmer "Trigger" Burke
was shot three times at point
blank range in a crowded New
York cafeteria today. His
name is Johnny Earle. He is
in a critical condition.
The gunman made his
escape by walking casually
from the restaurant and get
ting lost on the crowded side
walk.
CYNICAL comment:
We. don't seem to have
too much luck disposing legal
ly of these shady character
who haunt the tenderloins of
our big and crowded cities.
But, in the long run, a lot of
them seem to be finished off
by their own disgruntled pals,
Thus justice, in a back alley
sort of way, is done.
CJTILL more teletype chatter:
J The flag business isn't
actively lobbying for the
Alaska statehood bill, but an
official of one' of the oldest
flag making concerns in the
country says that if the bill
does pass at this session of
congress and Alaska becomes
a state the nation's flag in
dustry will leap from a de
pression into a BOOM.
TTOW come?
n It's simple.
On the day when either
Alaska or Hawaii becomes a
state EVERY AMERICAN
FLAG IN EXISTANCE WILL
BECOME OBSOLETE. On
that day, the OFFICIAL flag
will contain 49 stars. Present
flags have only 48.
That will mean a big new
market for flags.
OCREWBALL thought:
Suppose something should
happen that would cause
every dwelling in the United
States to become as obsolete
as a 48-star flag will be when
the 49th state is added to the
Union.
What a boom there would
be out here in the lumber
country!
T'HAT suggests a startling
thought:
OBSOLESCENCE IS THE
BIGGEST FACTOR IN MOD
ERN BUSINESS.
For example:
Suppose same bright young
inventor should come up to
morrow with a feasible and
practical jet engine that would
revolutionize the automobile
as completely as the first avia
tion jet revolutionized the air
plane. In that event, every auto
mobile in the country would
be obsolete and every owner
would want a new one. The
now depressed automobile in
dustry would then boom like
a gold rash town.

City councilors complained

crocer knows precisely tne
standing, social and financial,
of Mrs. Jones as against Mrs.

each good lady with the exact

IT IS A place where third
generation housewives use
third-generation laundries and
bakeries and would find any
change unthinkable. It is a
place where high school com
mencements remain truly im
portant. It is a place where
the home-owners will look
upon the chairman of Joint
Chiefs of Staff, say, not as one
of the earth's most powerful
military figures but as a nice
man who does his share
toward keeping the neighbor
hood mowed and weeded.
It is one of the worst places J
in the world to try to set up

restaurant. ' . t
People here all but the
thin official and diplomatic
crust and the large transient
briefcase and hotel population
eat at home. They entertain
at home. And often they know
by first name the mailman
and the trashman.
In this human, day by day
sense, wasmngton could not
possibly be more different

Too,- those are great cities in
which the business of national
government, for all its im

pebble in a very large lake.
TN WASHINGTON the bus-
a. iness of government is like
a vast rock over-filling a very
small pond. This is a one-in
dustry town or. as its de
tractors sometimes say, a com
pany town. But though gov
ernment is uniquely the busi
ness of this town, the people
go on about their own affairs
actuaUy much as they did in
the Texas village where this
correspondent was born.
The sum of the parts of
Washington amounts to what
inescapably is grand bureau
cracy. It is nevertheless true
that the parts themselves are
not bureaucratic at all.
The simplest way, perhaps,
to sum up .this first Washing
ton, if a personal reference
may be forgiven in a man
who has worked, fairly long
or briefly, on five continents,
is this: It is a good place to
come home to even when
summer is shimmering around
the Washington Monument.
To this writer's knowledge,
sophisticated diplomats some
times leave here, after a three-
or four-year stay, with the
throat-catching nostalgia of a
boy going off to college for
the first time.
So much now for the testi
monials none of them
solicited, as it happens, by the
Board, of ' Trade, which is our
equivalent to the Chamber of
Commerce.
THE SECOND Washington
rpouirps total v different
understanding. This is Wash
ington, the power center for
half the peoples of the uni
verse, the erstwhUe steamy
town on the Potomac that has
become hundreds of acres of
massive stone and steel.
From these packed acres to
those tree-lined streets of the
first Washington is perhaps 15
minutes by automobile. But
across this small space there is
an infinity of change in mood
and tone.
The 'second Washington,
superimposed as it is on the
first Washington, is then itself
six times subdivided, in mean
ing if not in literal fact. For
the second Washington has six
faces, six centers of the pomp
and the power and occa
sionally the glory, too.
Each has its special scent
and atmosphere; each endless
ly sends through this calm
community an often unheard
and unsensed thrust of the
urgency of history.

Washington base.
THE ODDS ON ADAMS '
Washington Sherman
Adams still insists that those
telephone calls for Mr. Gold-
fine were "stricUy routine."
He is now learning that there
is nothing at all routine about
the chasm he has opened in
the Republican party.
A serious effort is now un
der discussion in high Repub
lican congressional circles to
convince Adamst hat he must
resign his job in the White
House to prevent the split
from widening.
The tentative shape of the
effort is to bring about a face-
to-face talk with the Presi
dent's assistant. The purpose
of the interview, as now be
ing planned, is to confront
Adams with damaging evi
dence of what his continu
ance in trie White House may
mean for his party.
. Back .of this planning lie
two significant events, just
beneath the surface of the
frantic public actions on the
Adams-Goldfine case.
FIRST, it is a fact that an
effort by the White House
to organize a Congressional
drumfire of pro-Adams state
ments fell flat. This strategy
was to have produced a series
of expressions from impor
tant Republicans on Tuesday
applauding Adams voluntary
testimony before the Harris
subcommittee.
Despite the fact that
Adams' peformance before
the Harris subcommittee was
little short of heroic, given
the circumstances, his testi
mony left virtually all the
Republicans who have to face
the voters four months from
now as cold as a beached
mackerel. And so the two
persuasive White House
agents who were turned loose
in Congress . Tuesday after
noon to solicit pro-Adams
comment came back all but
empty-handed.
' Secondly, the theme of in
dispensability sounded by the
President on Wednesday has
angered some and offended
a good many other thought
ful Republicans in the- Capi
tol. They resent any inference
that a non-elected official is
the indispensable man.
THE President's poignant
cry on Wednesday ' "I
need him" carried a ring of
truth. It hearkened back ; to
Woodrow Wilson, who once
said of Col. House: "Mr.
House is my second personal
ity. He is my independent
self. His thoughts and mine
are one . . ." "
But the Republicans in
Congress are far too worried
about the weighty campaign
burdens with which they are
already saddled to worry
about a White House without
Mr. Adams in it: If Adams is
retained by the President,
the Republicans fear their
burden will become almost
unbearable. The . Democrats
will not only gloat over the
Waldorf-Astoria and the vi
cuna coat. They will also
claim that Mr. Eisenhower
has made a virtual acknowl
edgement that he cannot run
the government without
Adams. They will shout that
despite Adams' "pious preach
ing" about personal ethics in
government, the President
has set up a double-standard
of morality to keep him in
the White House.
With all this, it is no won
der that the Republicans are
Reasonable Funerals
(PRICED FOR
FRIENDLY,
y (2J Home
split the President on on
side, apparently having de
cided to retain his second
personality, and all the Re- j
publican candidates for elec
tion this fall and their sup
porters on the other.
THERE is, finally, one other
abrasive element of fric
tion. During the last four and
a half years, Adams has made
enemies, perhaps unavoid
ably. There is, for example.
one Republican member of
Congress who has not spoken
to Adams for three years be
cause of a slight, real or
fancied, involving a member
of the Congressman's family.
There is another Republican
whose failure to win re-election
to the Senate in 1954 is
laid to Adams' refusal to
make any concessions on the,
public power issue.
These examples can be
multiplied almost without
end. It is also true, para
doxically, that the Eisen
hower Republicans don't like
Adams because he has tend- -ed
to exclude them from the
White House, working
scrupulously with the con
servative leadership of Con
gress. The old guard conser
vatives, on the other hand.
don't, like him because he is
an Eisenhower Republican.
It is no wonder, then, that
it would take a foolish gamb
ler to give odds today that
Adams will retain his job.
The far safer odds are that
his continuance in office will
hurt the party and leave
lasting scars. f

"Nation of Killers?"
To the Editor: The following
letter has been mailed to all
members of the Congress:
My Dear Mr. Congressman:
Is our nation becoming a na
tion of "killers?"
A former President has
shown no sign of remorse for
having given the word that re
leased the only atomic bombs
ever dropped on helpless hu
man beings, killing over 200,
000. ,-- - -
Our present President gives
no evidence of remorse as ht
continues to order the testing
of H-bombs. According to the
estimates of some of our best
scientists, the testing of on
super bomb would probably
doom 1,300 people to die of
leukemia, tens of thousands
more to die of hone cancer
and other diseases, and 100,
000 seriously defective chil
dren to be born in future gen
erations. All this horror and
death from peace time testing
of one super bomb!
Is it really worth while that
the United States or any na
