DCie WiBD Find Galloping DnfNaftion As Common Problem in South America Mltor'a note: What kind of a inception will President Eisenhow er get on his forthcominc tour of South America? What problems will he discuss with hemisphere neigh bors? What sort of persons will he meet? Here, in the first of a series f dispatches. UPI's U. S. Latin American editor, surveys the peo ples and problems Eisenhower will meet next week. Br FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY A deeper understanding nd economic aid. In brief, these will be the themes, with variations, of President Eisenhower's talks with the heads of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay, the four South American coun tries he is to visit soon. The Eisenhower timetable: Leaves Washington, Feb. 22; arrives Brazil, Feb. 23, leaves Brazil, Feb. 26; arrives Ar gentina, Feb. 26, leaves Ar gentina, Feb. 29; arrives Chile, Feb. 29, leaves Chile, March 2; arrives Uruguay, March 2, leaves Uruguay, March 3, ar rives Puerto Rico, March 3, enroute to Washington. In 10 days President Eisen hower will have visited an area roughly the size of the United States, but with half as many people. Hay Common Problem All four countries have a common problem - galloping inflation. All are in sore need of more extensive United States economic aid. But the principal theme of Eisenhower's talks with the heads of the nations he visits will be the thorny subject of North American understand ing of South American prob lems. For many years, a common complaint of hemisphere na tions has been that the Anglo Saxon mind does not grasp fully the importance of continent-wide amity and support based on mutual understand ing and respect. The cry has i been that the United States I has concentrated its attention I on Old World problems while ignoring a neighborly New World beset by poverty. An example of this feeling is the recent demand of Cu ban Prime Minister Fidel Cas tro, voiced at a Buenos Aires meeting of continental states men, for 30 billions of dollars of U. S. aid to the nations of Latin American to help them achieve economic indepen dence. The sum suggested rep resents a U. S. grant of about $200 to every man, woman and child in the Western Hemisphere, outside of the United States and Canada. Fortunately, however, Pres ident Eisenhower will find in the statesmen with whom he talks a more realistic appre ciation of United States eco nomic possibilities in the field of hemispheric aid and as sistance. These men are Presidents Arturo Frondizi of Argentina, Jorge Alessandri of Chile, Ju scelino Kubitschek of Brazil and Uruguayan Senator Be nito Nardone, who will be head of the National Council of Government there at that time. The Uruguayan Council presidency currently held by I Martin R. Echegoyen will change on March 1, the day before President Eisenhower's scheduled arrival in Montevi deo. The presidency is rotated each year among the first four council membe j elected. In at least three of the four countries he visits Brazil, Chile and Argentina - the President's popular reception will be influenced by the par ty line laid out from Moscow. These three nations have large local Communist par ties whose political thinking on international affairs is guided from the Kremlin. Next: Brazil - Eisenhower headache? Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Tests You Can Mak To See If Fish It Fresh Freshness in seafood is not so much a requirement as it is a necessity. There are some sea creatures that can, under certain conditions, become actually poisonous if they die too long before they are cook ed for human food. The lobster, crawfish and some of their relatives deter iorate very rapidly after death; it is a wise housewife who can definitely tell just when these foods are safely fresh. Recently, the fishermen who make their living catch ing and selling lobsters per fected a method of packing them alive, with a cushion of seaweed and cracked ice. By this arrangement the animals reached the consumer alive and in a semi-active state even after a long trip. If you see a lobster or a crawfish move, you know for sure the creature is alive and therefore fresh. But what, you may ask, about those that are brought to the table already cooked? Even here there is a pretty accurate way to deter mine the freshness. If it has an odor like ammonia, the chances are pretty good that the poor critter died some time before he was plunged into hot water. Check the Eyes The appearance of the eyes is another clue. Usually, deep set eyes indicate the fish has been out of its natural ele- PRE-INVENTORY SALE NOW GOING ON All Sale Merchandise At "Clean Out" Prices Genuine Bargains on Every Floor Swem's Books - Gifts - Records 217 E. Main Medford rtient for some little time. Some tfolks say, too, that the eyes of a fish long dead have a pronounced "glassy" stare even more so than the natur ally fishy eye of all fish. The bsst method, however, would seem to be the "finger test." Press the fish's body firmly with the tip of one finger and watch how rapidly the depression returns to nor mal when the pressure of the finger is reunoved. The quick er this happens the fresher the fish, provided, of course, the fish is not frozen so hard the finger leaves no depres sion. Seafood is a beneficial and healthful food, probably very necessary to ( t he continued well-being of all of us. Seafood contains elements not found in vegetables or meat and con tributes a large share of vita mins and minerals that go to make up a well-balanced diet. However, the old belief that fish is brain food is more su perstition than fact. Idea Has Persisted If this were troie, the por poise, sea lion, sea gull and pelican, should become intel lectual giants. We certainly wouldn't want any auch thing to happen; if would deal our human ego such a wallop we would never. get over it. But nevertheless the brain food idea in connection with eating fish has persisted, and there are a great many people who still believe in the idea. Generous amounts of seafood-eaten fresh, either cook ed or raw-will never tate the place of a high school educa tion; but if it is fresh it. will contribute a delightful taste thrill and lend its bid to . the healthful building of your body. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate,, 1960) Government Policy Makers, Citizens Warned on 'Peace' NO HEART-BREAKER El Cajon, Calif.-OIPD-Super-intendent Jesse H. Hutchens of the El Cajon Valley Union School District said the ruling that no valentines could be exchanged at school was made to spare youngsters who couldn't afford to buy val entines for their friends. "We would rather prohibit hearts than break them," Hutchens said. Washington-(UPD-The House communittee on Un-American activities has warned govern ment policy makers and U.S. citizens not to be deceived by Communist use of the word "peace." The committee indirectly warned President Eisenhower of the dangers involved in an exchange of visits with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev. The President and party will visit Russia June 10-19. Peace, or peaceful coexist ence to free peoples means the absence of conflict, but to the Communist, the commit tee warned, it means elimina tion of conflict because of the "domination of the world by Communism." Published in Report The warning was published in the committee's annual re port for 1959. It said "the security of this nation depends in large meas ure upon the degree to which the American public, its elect ed officials, and policymak ers know how to interpret Communist statements." "If they take the words of the Communists at face value," it said, "the results could be disastrous." It said Khrushchev's visit to the United States last year "succeeded in influencing a significant number of Ameri cans to believe that he can be trusted when he speaks of his desire for peaceful coexistence." Also that "he was telling the truth, for example, when he explained that by his threat to 'bury' the United States he merely meant that Communism would succeed capitalism . . ." The visit, the committee said, was looked upon by Communists as a "tremendous victory" for them which per mits them to have a greater hand in forcing "further shifts" in U.S. foreign policy, Aesopian Language The report underlined the difficulties of understanding the "Communist Aesopian language." It said every Com munist communication "must convey an orthodox revolu- SURETY OFFICIAL DIES Kinnelon, N. J. (UPD Al bert H.

The 134 page report said that during the last year the committee held 11 major hearings, taking testimony from 166 witnesses. It said the hearings had covered such subjects as Com munist training operations; U.S. passport security; the or ganization, tactics and leader ship of the Community party in California; Communism in Puerto Rico and ' Soviet es pionage. The committee also - pub lished during the year six re ports on various facets of Communist activities and the first volume of a series en titled "Facts on Communism."

New York -(UPD- The admin istration's drive to balance the budget has finally revers ed the uptrend in interest rates, says Prentice-Hall. Easing money pressure, mainly reflecting reduced fed eral needs for funds, has led to a rise in bond prices, the firm pointed out in its weekly report on business. ' The government's "balance-the-budget'" philosophy, says Prentice-Hall, has also meant a continued squeeze on de fense spending. "The current Washington debate on missiles and other defense issues seems to be vir tually a verbatim replica of the similar squabble one year ago. " That's a disheartening sign of how slow U.S. prog ress on missiles has been dur ing that period." Hornblower & Weeks notes American Insurance Co. should - participate relatively well in the expected industry upturn. Its S1.30 dividend yields 5 per cent, the firm points out. Walter G. Bernthal of Filor, Bullard & Smyth offers the following opinion; "Addition al work must be done to build up a base from which a more permanent rally can take place. I think this will take another week or so, and thus at the moment would consid er the market a trading affair. I would use strength to sell stocks, and buy them during periods of weakness."
