Mosul area ntar where some
Irafis were fishing in a shal-
low, bottlenecked lagoon. 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

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

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.

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

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

guns of the army's armored

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.

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. -
