Uruguay Only Country Not Expected To Ask Eisenhower for Economic Assistance Editor's note: One South Ameri man country is not likely to ask President Eisenhower for U. S. economic aid on his forthcoming hemisphere tour. This is Uruguay, last of the four nations the Presi dent will visit. In the following dispatch, the fifth and last of a series, U. S. Latin American editor Francis L. McCarthy of UPI sketches Uruguay and its problems and outlines the reception Ike is likely to get in the smallest but most progressive of South Ameri can countries. By FRANCIS L. McCARTHY Here is a Latin American paradox: The hemisphere's smallest country about the size of South Dakota has one of its highest standards of living. It is a nation where sheep out number humans in the popu lation count by 11 to 1. Such a country is Uruguay where President Eisenhower formally closes out his four nation. 10-day air tour of South America. He arrives in Montevideo March 2 and leaves March 3. Even more paradoxical: De spite its diminutiveness, Uru guay is probably the only one of the countries Eisenhower will visit which is not likely to ask him for direct Ameri can aid. Resell Surplus Crops Uruguay's economy is based on livestock. But its present relative economic stability is attributable to U.S. crop sur .pluses, principally wheat, which it has resold and, from the profits, offset drought inflicted losses of the past year. Not only is Uruguay para doxical - it is a study in political contrast. It is regarded as South America's first "welfare state." It pioneered old - age assistance, the eight - hour work day and free medical services. Yet it is one of the most conservative and stable of the American republics. In 1951, the people placed the executive power in the hands of a nine-man National Council of Government to pre vent the develop m e n t of dictatorship. Yet, conversely, Uruguay has backed the admission of Red China in the United Na tions; it is one of only three Latin American countries with formal diplomatic rela tions with Soviet Russia - and between 10 per cent and 12 per cent of all of its trade is with Communist countries. Assured Warm Welcome There are no outstanding problems at present between Uruguay and the United States. Ike is assured of a warm welcome. ' If the Trot skyist element in Uruguay makes itself heard in opposi tion to his visit, it will be because this is a nation famed for tolerance when it comes to public expression of politi cal opinion. Uruguay's 2.8 million popu lation is 90 per cent of Euro pean descent. From the ranks of these immigrants came Jose Battle Y Ordonez, one of the hemisphere's all-time intellectual greats and the "father of his country" in progressive thought, i Uruguay may want U. S. financial aid at some time in the future. But this topic will not be an important item on the agenda of Ike's brief state visit. Rather, the tiny country's principal complaint will be that Eisenhower is devoting such a brief span of time to his stay in beautiful Monte video, city of more than a million population and hub of all Uruguayan business ' and industrial development, 'v Korean Orphan at McMinnville Gets Fondest Wish; Hell Attend School Portland - (UPD - It took a while, but Ricky Johnson found out how old he is and can now have his fondest wish. Ricky, a Korean orphan brought to the United States under the Harry Holt Baby lift program, was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Norman Johnson of McMinnville. - The parents were told that Ricky was 4J2 years old - too young for school. . Boy Grew Sad But Ricky grew sad as he watched his brother go off to school. So, doctors at the Univer sity of Oregon Medical School hospital here began an ex haustive series of tests to de termine his actual age. Ricky's growth patterns seemed to be of an older boy. Doctors finally found out that he is 654 years old - old enough to go to school. The tests were difficult be cause there were not set growth patterns known for Korean children.

Neither did she know it would be enough to convict her of theft. The ingenious camera trap was rigged by John Butler, of Toronto, Canada, who became fed up with a series of small thefts from his apartment. He hid the camera in a beverage case and attached the shutter release to a drawer by string. (UPI Telephoto) Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M.

One of them that I knew per sonally proved that an animal actually could become so nervous as to die of fright. This one had two names. We called him, "Blob-17" for he was the seventeenth we had tried to keep in captivity. All 16 of his predecessors last ed only a few days, but in their dying we learned some thing of the habits of these eight - armed blobs of living flesh called octopi. We were exceedingly care ful when we found this one in the trap. He was resting on the bottom screen looking calm and serene. Carefully we raised the cage. While it was still under the water we slid a large tub underneath. Then we raised the entire outfit. Never for a single minute was the octopus out of its natural elements. Neither was it once touched bv a human hand. Reversed Process We carried tub, cage and water to the large tank where we hoped Blob-17 would live a long and drab existence. Ar riving at the tank we reversed the lifting out process, we sank the tub containing the octopus into the tank, opened the door and waited until Blob-17 decided to move out. Very slowly, with extreme deliberation, he crawled from the cage into the tub and over its rim into the large tank. As he crawled, or to be more correct, "flowed" over the tub' rim he saw the large pile of rocks that formed one side of the big tank. He gatlv ered his eight arms into a tight budle and siphoned his way rapidly to the shelter of the rock pile. While en route we could see him plainly. He was a big octopus, his body nearly as large as a football, and some of his arms were better than two and a half feet long. The second day after Blob 17 was installed in the big tank he ate a fish. There seemed no reason in the world why he shouldn't live to a ripe old age. He was an un usual attraction; few people ever had a chance to observe ones of these creatures close up. But watching him, at the same time crowds of people were also watching, we could see the waves of color that flowed over his soft body. Waves of Color . Waves of deep purple, pink and various shades of blue came and went in rapid suc cession. One color ran into another; at the same time the body would alternately swell and deflate, like the lungs of an animal when its owner takes one deep breath after another. ; To the casual observer it looked rather pretty, but Blob-17 was actually suffer ing from a high state of ner vous excitement. His nervous system was building up to an explosion. The "top-blowing" procedure came before the end of the second week. Blob 17 died with a full stomach. He was organically sound and healthy, but he, like most of his kind, had a temperament too "high-strung." By the end Vienna Famous For Glass Firms Vienna - (UPD - This central European capital has acquir ed world reputation for its happy-go-lucky life, its music and waltzes, its beautiful women - but also for its glass. World famous glass firms, dating back for more than a century, have produced ex quisite glass products here. The Hapsburg emperors, Balkan kings and members of the Austrian aristocracy once were the chief customers. Diplomats, Arabian oil mag nates and Western industrial ists today purchase the prod ucts of the famous glass firms, all of them situated on the swank thoroughfares of down town Vienna. The fashion and style of glassware may have changed with the times, but the first class craftsmanship has re mained a "must" for Vienna glasswares. The firms proud ly refuse to deal with mass products; they specialize in individual glassware. Their creattions are works of art and produced only once and for one customer only. Ike's Telegram Results in Vote Sarasota, Fla. -(UPD- Presi dent Eisenhower often sends congratulatory . telegrams to persons he learns are celebrat ing their 100th birthday.

Marks, of Milwaukee, above, was informed that he has lost his Unit ed States citizenship for serving in a foreign army.
