Mark Hatfield and fellow diners be warned. King Mahendra of Nepal is not given to idle chat ter over the asparagus. A State Department spokes man toiJ reporters at a brief ing on Nepal that not only is the 79-year-old King quiet; he is also given to long si lences during conversations. Most Americans, the spokes man said, tend to become em barrassed if every conversa tional moment does not scin tilate. However prolonged and unembarrassed silces are but a part of the unhurried and graceful culture of the royal visitors. The King and Queen will be visiting the United States for three weeks, and plan to spend May 5 and 6 in Salem and Eugene. Ncpalese students at the University of Oregon and Oregon Slate College in Corvallis will meet with them in Eugene. Governor and Mrs. Hatfield I will give a state dinner for their majesties. Landlocked State Nepal is an Arkansas-sized landlocked Himalayan state between Tibet and India. Its terrain sweeps from snow swept Mt. Everest to tropical valleys. Until 1850 the coun try had been ruled by heredi tary prime ministers of the Rana clan. The kings were their captives, and contacts with the outer world were dis couraged. A rebellion in 1950 sent tile Ranas into exile. The royal family was brought back to power, and the begin nings of constitu'ional democ racy were made. The whole fabric of a new nation had to be rebuilt. Had he wished, King Mahendra could have imposed a one man rule over the country. Instead he invited all the po litical and social org. nizations to discuss formation of a dem ocratic government in Nepal. A constitution was written and a constitutional monarchy was begun. Political parties flowered with the new freedom. The King announced a date for general elections and set up interim government. Ill February of last year elec tions were held and a popular ministry took office Heading Government B. P. Kolrala, president of the Nepali Congress, the ma jority party, was asked by the King to become Nepal's first Prime Minister under the new Elevator Mishap Crushes Youth Porlland-tVPr-Peter Wllmer Barnhart, a 19-year-old em ployee of the Meier and Frank department store, was crushed to death Monday night between the wall and cage of a moving freight ele vator.

He is now head ing the government in Nepal. Knirala is not with the royal pa.-ty. He is in Nepal negotiating with powerful neighbor, Chou-En-lai, Prime Minister of Communist China. Chou is in the tiny country to 11) Bign a treaty of friend ship between Nepal and Chi na; (2) to discuss economic aid and (3) to deal with boun dary disputes between the two countries. The Red Chinese, ominous ly echoing the earlier claim to Tibet, now demand all of Mt. Everest-which is astride the Nepal-Tibet border. This claim has aroused the Nepal ese, who are trying to main tain their independence and maintain a policy of nnnalign ment with India or China. King Maohendra has been struggling to bring his under developed country into the 20th century as fast as eco nomic aid can help him. He has inaugurated a land reform program designed to wipe out all feudalism in landholding. He is battling against centu ries of administrative chaos. Nepal is now a member of the United Nations and diplomatic relations have been establish ed with all major countries in the world. $26 Million In Aid The United States has spent over $26 million in aid since the early 1950s; the USSR has given $7' million, and the Chinese have promised $21 million. The University of Oregon has played a significant part in America's effort to assist Nepal, particularly to com bat the 95 per cent illiteracy in that country. The Univer sity is working under contract lo help Nepal train 1,750 school teachers, and to estab lish a 4-year teachers college. U. S. technicians have assist ed in the program of rural school expansion and adult education. Since Nepal is predominant ly agricultural, American aid has been designed to further Nepal's plea for economic de velopment. Major emphasis is on expanding agricultural and industrial production, devel oping transportation and com munications and improving public administration. Per capita income in Nepal is $50 a year. Education More Available Progress has been made with our assistance money in making health education more widely available, and in the establishment of rural health clinics. Our technical assist ance has been ued to help combat insect born diseases. Death from malaria ii na tional menace. Because of the treacherous mountains, only 400 miles of roads exist. Roads are con nected at points by ropeways which are comparable to a ski lift. It consists of a series of towers connected by cables. To these cables are attached small cars which carry goods to be transported pver the rug ged mountains. Freight for the capital city of Katmandu is transported by ropeway. A United States firm has con tracted to replace the existing one which cannot be repaired. The new ropeway will link existing roads to provide all weather freight transportation from India to the capital. The Russians have project ed a cigarette factory, a sugar refinery, a 50-bed hospital and a hydro-electric plant, but ac cording to the spokesman, "thev aren't off the ground yet." Part of Free World Although remote from America, Nepal is a part of the free world, a small strug gling backward democracy which stands between India and China. Observers note that if China swallows Nepal as she did Tibet, India be comes more vulnerable to at tack. As a Stale Department pam phlet says; "The national interests of Nepal and those of the United I States coincide in several im portant respects. One of our most important common in terests is Nepalese indepen dence. The towering Hima layas, even in a world of jet travel and guided missiles, still form a. nature! barrlfi' :etwen ftept) nd the real of free South Asia, on Uie one hand and Communist-domi-na"e! X'bet on tb oth. "To preserves its lndepen dence. Nepal needs political stability and progress and a government which is able to meet the needs and aspira tions of its people. To this end economic development is es sential. The U.S., therefore, renders economic and techni cal assistance to Nepal to help improve living standards and promote economic progress. "The United States has a profound respect for Nepal's desire to develop her own po litical institutions in her own way, but we cannot help but r 'view' rtltf favor her jtiona and progress asDlra- toward j tjrinfctns'derrmcficyU hrr) people."

Graham said he favored capital punishment for "men like Hitler . . . and the terrible mad men of history."
