For travellers of old, the reason for skipping Tunisia was the Barbary pirates. For Eisen hower it's lack of time. Ike will meet Tunisia's pio. 1 man in a warship on the sea Tunisian pirates once dominated. Like those pirates, President Habib Bourguiba knows exactly what he wants and to devil with the risks. Bourguiba, S3, was educated by: the French, outlawed by the French, imprisoned by the French, elected when Tunisi ans threw out the French. What he wants is Tunisian prosperity, dignity, authority, complete independence. Nation of Farms So far, he has only a thin lice of all of this. Indepen dence from the French' be came a reality in 1957, but only, a political one. Prosper ity is still a dream. Tunisia is a farming nation In 1956 it had 9,794 tractors and 201,400 horses, donkeys, and mules. It has more metals than it can use (phosphate de posits are "practically inex haustible"), but nothing for fuel but dreams of oil. . It ex ports wine, olive oil and min erals and imports practically everything else. About half of Tunisia's 3,' 800,000 Moslems are under 20 years of age; the birth rate is nearly three times the death rate. The Louisiana - sized country is half Sahara Desert, half fertile Mediterranean country. Phoenicians colonized it; Carthage, the second city of the Roman Empire and "prob ably the most corrupt city of the West, was born and died Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- GENE FOWLER, master of the inflated expense account, once alleged that a story he had tracked down in Juneau, Alaska, had involved outlays totaling $1,200.

East-West Barrier Tunisia has been an inter national pingpong ball for a thousand years. Italy's Andrea Doria once led a fleet for Spain's Charles V against the Turks who ruled it. France took it over in 1862 to keep Italy out, and in return for giving Britain a free hand in Cyprus. Halfway between Gibraltar and Suez, Tunisia forms the barrier between East and West in the Mediterranean. Its personality ' is suitably split: Arabis is the official tongue but French "is not con sidered a foreign language." It tossed out French troops last year but had to let them keep the huge naval and air base at Bizerte. Arab in the cities, Berber in the mountains; piratical by history (when the Deys and Beys of Tunis unleashed their Barbary Coast pirates to ter rorize the Mediterranean) and earnest and ambitions for the future. ' That's Tunisia, and President Eisenhower will hear but not see - this time. Three Sentenced on Petty Larceny Charges Three men were sentenced in district court on charges of petty larceny recently. John Wesley Perkins, Rex hotel, Medford, was sentenced to six months in the county jail; Charles William Mar shall, 824 Niantic st.,' Med ford, was sentenced to' three months in the county jail, and Cecil Jefferson Worthington, Central Point, who had ap peared m district court Nov. 18, was sentenced to one year in the county jail. All three men had pleaded. guilty previously. They were charged with taking a dressed chicken and a piece of pork from William F. Worthington, route 1, box 184, Eagle Point. RETIRED ARCHITECT DIES New York-(CPD-Edward Ne- carsulmer, 85, a retired archi tect and philanthropist, died Monday. In the Day's News - By FRANK JENKINS From New York: i Two networks say their technicians in New York "dubbed in" some of "the crowd noises heard in televis ion coverage of President Ei senhower's recent trip to Europe. The American Broad casting Co. and the Columbia Broadcasting System acknowl edge that in a few instances recorded crowd noises were used where the real sounds were lacking or failed to fit in with other film. The Na tional Broadcasting Co. says it used only the sound which actually accompanied the President during his travels. An ABC spokesman ex plains: "When Mr. Eisenhower was traveling into Bonn (in West Germany) from the air port by car, we had only a man with a hand-held camera riding in a truck to cover him, where before he had natur al sounds of the crowd. You obviously can't suddenly go into dead silence. So you use a little crowd noise or per haps a little music.' APPLEGATE VALLEY Art Exhibit Scheduled LET'S put it this way: A show is a SHOW. A news event is a news event. They are quite different. The purpose of a show is to entertain. The purpose of a newscast, whether TV or ra dio, is to INFORM. So it is reasonable that the techniques of the broadcasters, whether radio or TV, should vary ac cording to what they are broadcasting. T70R example: A An important element of President Eisenhower's visit to Europe was HOW HE WAS RECEIVED. If he was receiv ed by the crowds with wild en thusiasm, it was one thing. If the crowds listened to him in silence -if, to use the patois of the reviewers at a show that fails to catch on, they "sat on their hands" -it was something quite different. That is to say: The spontaneous and ob viously genuine enthusiasm with which the crowds .in Europe greeted President Ei senhower was a vitally im portant part of the story. If, through lack of proper equip ment or failure of the equip ment being used, the broad caster had failed to include the sound of the cheering and his broadcast had conveyed the impression that our Presi dent was being received in silence, it would have amount ed to DISTORTION of the news. If, on the other hand, there had been NO cheering and the broadcaster had "dubbed it in" just to make a better show, be would have been equally guilty of distortion. ANOTHER example: Suppose a candidate for an important office-say the Presi dency of the U.S. is making a speech. Suppose he is re ceived by the audience with obvious enthusiasm. Suppose in the middle of his speech, just as he has made an im portant statement on a highly controversial issue, the sound truck or the transmitter broke down, leading the hearer to believe that his statement was received in stony silence. In that event, the broad caster would be justified in dubbing in" canned applause. In fact, he would be subject to criticism if he didn't, for he or both from Kentucky mmmm1 11 straight $L-M SUNNY SUNNVi&j M m BROOK I BROOK- If .x ii its.'!. r Two ways to serve the Great Whiskey of the Old West By MAUDE ZIEGLER Applegate Valley - An art exhibit is scheduled for this Sunday at the Wanegan serv ice station and art shop at lower Applegate.
