The bottleneck was closed off and the fisherman dragged a net fronj one end of the trap to the other. They were catching plenty of fish, but a type of chub instead of a salmon. After watching for a while, I strolled away along the stream. Presently, on a tiny sandy beach, I saw some little pav marks and the tau of a cfrtfi8ra to Attend Jtol War College Capt. Daniel, O.

Oraeit, Wadnttday, July 30, 1931 Russia in be our secret weapon in beat ing the Soviet at a trade war now gaining scope through out the world. S. J. Rundt, a consultant on international business, not long ago said that in other words to the National Association of Cred it Men. "One of the great weapons of trade is credit," he said, "and credit competition is where we could easily lick anybody ... "We are accustomed to check and administer credit, terms and collections, as no other country in the world. "Moreover, the Communists operate as state bureacracies By EUGENE BURNS Rjnger-Nituraliit fish. Both were fresh. I sat down on a rock a few feet back from the bank and wait ed. In a few minutes there was a ripple from under the bank near the head of the pool. Ijn maybe 30 seconds more a sllek, brown head broice through the surface. It was an otter. There was an eight inch chub in its mouth, the tail still beating, feebly. The otter headed to a beach across the stream,. The second helping didn't last long. It disappeared quite rapidly, head first, all but the tail. Then, after a bit of fur-polishing, the otter decided he'd like another. At least, he took to the streams again though I saw no more of him. Balance of Nature When the matter was men tioned to the fishermen, they nodded sagely. Unlike many Europeans who feel otters eat too much fish, they didn't mind them at all. Whether this reasonable attitude was due to an appreciation of the otter's fur, we couldn't make out. But quite possibly it was dut to a true understanding of the balance of nature. While the otter has been hunt; ed almost to extinction in England, France and other countries of western Europe, his treatment at the other end of the Eurasian - land mass has been very different. In China, for example, ot ters have been taught to catch fish for their masters. Tether ed by a long cord, they bring in a fish, get a reward and then sent for another. In Ben gal, according - to some ac counts, the natives went the Chinese one better. There they have trained the otters to herd the fish toward their nets.

China Nationalist Planes Shot Down Taipeh, Formosa (UPD Communist MIG-jet fighters shot down two Chinese Na tionalist F84 Thunderjets over the, Formosa Strait, Tuesday, it was announced. ViceAdm. Liu Hohtu, a De fense Ministry spokesman, said "This was a provocative atcion by the Communists." He said the Nationalist planes were "in no way over the China mainland" when at tacked. "This was an un expected attack," he added. The Nationalist air force said four American-built F84 Thunderjets were on a rou tine patrol over the strait when attacked. The two pilots who returned said they saw four enemy planes. They said they did not notice it the MIGS carried the markings of Red China. U. 5. Airmen in Iraq Have It Easy Habbaniyah, Iraq (CPD Forty-three U. S. airmen who came here to teach Iraqis to handle Sabrejet airplanes have been held in "protective custody" on this British-built airbase since the July 14 coup, it was announced today. Lt. CoL Paul Goodwin, of Chandler, Ariz., said there have been no . casualties among the Americans and no serious incidents. In fact they are living the life of Riley and so are some 1,100 British airmen and their families, who also are confined to the base. Trade War and have no private ' admin istration of the sort which has become an integral part of the blood circulation of our free enterprise system ... More Know-How "Not only is our financial power, on all levels through out our land to the Potomac, and from the smaller banks in our thousands of towns to the skyscraper financial institu. tions in our big cities, far greater than that of even the combined Moscow - Peiping bloc, we also have more know how than the Reds in what to do with commercial credit." Of course, he couldn't ex pect U.S. companies to give dirt cheap xlong term credit since business is in business to make a profit. He would have the govern ment take a hand , and go along with private enterprise to help finance foreign trade on easy credit. He would cen ter the operations in the De partment of Commerce. In the war against Com munism in world trade, Rundt would merge the efforts of business and government. "To achieve the sorely need ed close co-ordination," " he said, "it would above all be come necessary that all the many government agencies in the foreign economic field es tablish a common information and co-alignment center . . . "Once a measure of coor dination has been achieved, let the representatives of in dustry, commerce, finance and government come up with a detailed plan to give business, to give the field divisions, full use of a basic weapon, namely commercial credit, so that we will not sit on the battle field with only heavy artillery, but also have on hand an instrument that can be carried by 'the infantry man without whom, I ven ture to guess, no war will be fought, not even in a nuclear age. "Let us be practical; let us be open-eyed; and last, let us make use of the finest pieces of material in our economic arsenal, namely credit, to meet and beat the enemy who has set out to undo us and our freedoms." Business and financial ex perts believe the Russian in roads into trade will be one of the big problems immedi ately ahead and indications are more will be heard from it in the most distant future. Firemen Called to Grass Fire Monday Medford firemen were called to a grass fire in the 2800 block of Elliott st., Med ford, Monday. An area about 20 by 30 feet burned and the side of a small tool shed was scorched, firemen said. - '. Monday evening and Tues day morning firemen were called to stand-by while po tential fire hazards were cor rected. On Monday evening electrical wires had shorted out in trees on Biddle rd.- and were causing an electric arc. Tuesday a truck was called to the Medford airport in the be lief that a plane would have to land without its landing, gear locked in place. No difficulty resulted from either incident, according to firemen. Fire Marshal Truman Nel son inspected six business oc cupancies and one office building Monday and issued eight orders for correction. Two complaints of hazards in residential areas also were in vestigated. Portland Attorney Declared Innocent Portland (UPD Portland attorney Howard R.

Old Castles Become Museum Spots for Baghdad Citizens By RUSSELL JONES United Press International Baghdad (UPD Palaces once occupied by ex-Premier Nuri Es Said, ex-King Faisal and ex-Crown Prince Abdul Illah have become amusement spots for Baghdad citizens. A steady stream of men, women and children pours through Said's wrecked pal ace on the banks of the Tigris, and hundreds of others col lect outside the walls of the royal palace near the airport. In the entry hall of Said's air-conditioned home, a man sells cakes. Outside vendors do a big business in ice cream, soft drinks and ice water. While soldiers watch, crowds throng through the once-luxurious house which is stripped of all furniture, rugs, pictures and trinkets., What is left of the furniture now is stored in locked rooms, but a glance through the win dows shows that the mob that attacked the house had a chance to rip upholstery and smash radios, phonographs and air-conditioning units be fore order was restored. Sharp Contrast ' The house, set in a grove of date and palm trees, con trasts strikingly with nearby mud-brick homes of poor Iraqis. The scene at the royal pal ace where Faisal, AbduP Illah and other members of the royal palace were shot is dif ferent. Crowds are kept out of the palace, grounds and only news men -and offieials are per mitted to enter. The building itself is com pletely gutted by fire, which some say was started by mobs and others say was started by In Respect to the Memory of Jack M.

Outside on the lawn are scattered what personal be longings and furniture were salvaged from the blaze. Hun dreds of pictures from the King's personal collection were strewn about, mixed with jade vases, kitchen ware, clothes and bric-a-brac. Alongside a tree near which some say Faisal was shot is an undersized military jacket stripped of all decorations, buttons and shoulder insignia. An army captain on duty there said it belonged to the young king., Upstairs in the three-story palace is one of the few things left in the building, an "exer cycle" which Faisal used to keep fit: Among the debris on the lawn is jthe only portrait of the royal family to suryive unharmed it is of King Hus sein 1, the founder of the Hashemite dynasty. A visitor can see on leaving the palace grounds that the crowns that adorned the gates have been stripped off. Between the actions of the mobs and the new government there is little to remind a stranger that this was once a king's palace. California Man Gets Two-Year Sentence Andrew Gene Soto, Santa Barbara, Calif., was senten ced Monday afternoon to two years in the state penitentiary by Circuit Court Judge H. K. Hanna for grand larceny. Soto pleaded guilty. He was charged with taking a 1949 Dedge flatbed truck from the Reter Fruit com pany in Medford on June 16.

Attending the meeting, in Lower Prices Seen In Slaughter Bill Washington (UPD Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D Minn.) told the senate Tues day that approval of a House passed bill designed to pro mote humane slaughter of livestock might bring down the price of steaks and chops. " Humphrey said present live stock slaughter methods cause "immense economic waste" with the burden falling on both livestock producers and consumers. The farmer and housewives are "paying for the failure of packers to mod ernize plants," Humphrey added. The Minesotan's. statement came as the Senate opened debate on a version of the humane slaughter bill ' ap proved by its Agriculture Committee. Under this pro posal, the Agriculture Depart ment would study the sub ject for two years and then give Congress a proposal for a compulsory law. - . - .
