Algerian Independence Would Boost North African Dreams Medford Tribune SECTION C MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1962 PAGES 1 to 8 Growing Problems New Guard Booths, More Guards Result in Congressional Debate kg? By DICK WEST Washington, - IIJPII - Just about a month ago, the House passed a bill providing al most $130,000 to build 13 new s u a r d booths at the White House. Last week, in a sort of follow-up action, it voted to au thorize the e m p loymeni of 80 addition guards to occupy the booths. The first bill caused Rep. Frank J. Becker (R-N. Y.) to wonder "what sort of luxuri ous frills" a guard booth could have that would cause it to cost more than some houses. The second bill planted an entire garden of questions in the fertile minds of Rep. H. R. Gross of Iowa and certain other Republican congress men. , Gross wanted to know whe ther the extra police were needed to look after "Maca roni and Spaghetti," a some what scrambled reference to Caroline Kennedy's two pon ies, "Macaroni and Tex." Oponent Reassured Sponsors of the bill assured him that executive mansion guards were not involved with empty saddles in the old corral on. the New Fron tier. And even if they were, ad ded Rep. Wayne Hays, an Ohio Democrat, that would be time better spsnt than "trapping squirrels on a White House putting green." Hays also had a retort for Gross' observation that the White House constabulary would more than double the size of his home town police force in Waterloo, Iowa, a city of some 75,000. Said Hays: "More tourists pass through the White House in one year than have passed through Waterloo in all history." 86 PROOF ECHO SPRING 0IST.

In one last sally before the House passed the bill, he sug gested that perhaps the extra police were needed "to pro vide protectioii for all-night twist parties." Security Problems Grown At times during the two hour debate, backers of the bill managed to point out that White House security prob lems have grown considerably since the present 170-man po lice force was established in 1952. It remained, however, for Rep. J. Arthur Younger (R Calif.) to produce what I re garded as the most thought provoking comment. "I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea from the tourist standpoint to have a daily mounting of the guard like they do at Buckingham Pal ace, said Younger. "I think we . could use plumes and probably put them on horses and really do a good job." Presumably, Younger had in mind mounting the guard on Macaroni and Tex. But I rather doubt that Caroline would stand still for that. r :TErR!l The success of the "Ages" 1 Fifth $495 Pint Tehees! NATIONAL TAVERN .

Rabat, Morocco -IUPD- Al gerian independence this year will give a major boost to the age - old dream of a North African Maghreb Union of 25 million Arabs. Moroccan officials make no secret of their hope it will speed the political and eco nomic union of the four North African nations - Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. A United Arab Maghreb, they say, not only would con stitute the largest Arab Re public - but also a powerful new force in African and world affairs. The name Maghreb means "west." The idea of a Magh reb, alliance or union, long a dream of Arabs throughout North - Western Africa, first was studied in practical form at a conference at Tangiers in April, 1958. The conference was attend ed by representatives of the Istiqlal party of Morocco, the Neo-Destour party of Tunisia and the Moslem Rebel Na tional Liberation Front (FLN) from Algeria. Assembly Proposed The conference proposed es tablishment of a consultative assembly of the Arab Magh reb, consisting of representa tives of the Moroccan and Tunisian parliaments and the National Council of the Al gerian Revolution (CNRA). This assembly would be as signed to study questions of common interest to the three countries and to make recom mendations to their governments. The conference also recom mended that the individual governments of the North Af rican states not make sepa rate foreign affairs and de fense commitments. Although the recommenda tions of the conference were not carried out in full, they remained the basis for United Maghreb policy. Since 1958 a number of Maghreb units have been set up, such as confederations of students, teachers and labor unions. Moves toward a closer link between their governments have been more timid. Blocked by Rivalries They were blocked to some extent by rivalries between the three countries, such as Moroccan annoyance at Tu nisia's refusal to support her claims to sovereignty over Mauritania. Originally, the Maghreb Union project was limited to Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Recently Libya was included in it. In July 1961 representatives of Morocco and the Algerian Moslem government - in - exile held renewed talks on Magh reb unity plans. They agreed "to take all possible steps to undertake without delay the establish ment of a United Arab Magh reb on the basis of a fraternal political and economic asso ciation, particularly for the joint exploitation of natural riches." A joint ministerial commit tee of Morocco and the Al gerian government - in exile was to have met last February to work out more detailed plans for a Maghreb Union. Other North African coun tries were invited to take part if they wished. Tied by Negotiations However, the meeting has not yet taken place, partly be cause the Algerian exile gov ernment was tied down with peace negotiations with the French. But responsible Moroccan officials lost no opportunity to speak up in favor of a Maghreb Union. Hardly a public speech is made in this country in which the question is not raised. Allal El Fassi, president of the ruling Istiqlal party in Morocco and minister of state for Islamic affairs, said in a recent interview that Maghreb unity projects should be push ed ahead in both the political and economic spheres, but that priority should be given to the economic side. "What must be avoided at all costs," he said, "is parallel industrialization of all four countries, necessitating heavy investments but with small internal consumers' markets.'' He called for "joint eco nomic, but also political plan ning" by all four countries. Abderrahmin B o u a b i b, former premier of Morocco and a leader of the opposition Progressive party, said crea tion of a Maghreb economic union has become a necessity in the present world. "After Algerian independ ence," he said, "the single dominant problem will be that of her development. What interests us here is to know whether, within the frame- for in the various develop work of a United Maghreb, ment plans has a chance of the economic growth provided reaching major proportions."

COURT HELD m YOU DESCRIBE ITI Every day, in this modern age, we see and hear thousands of words. Because of this barrage, we frequently lose track of their real meanings, Beautiful, descriptive phrases are constantly being "wasted" on products that don't merit them, Rather than describe the Lincoln Continental in watered-down terms, we would prefer to leave the whole thing up to you. Perhaps you can think of exactly the right description for this car which we feel is one of the very finest ever made anywhere I We're proud of Lincoln Continental's beauty and elegance. We're so proud of its advanced engineering and performance that we offer a full twenty-four month guarantee twice as long as any other American automobile. Above and beyond that, we'll let the Lincoln Continental speak for itself.

He noticed immediately that there was a snowbank three to four feet high between him and the sidewalk. The bus started up within five sec onds after letting him off and was turning the corner in a way that crowded hire against the snowbank. He beat on the windows of the bus in an ef fort to get it to stop. He was in full view of the driver. The bus continued and the former passenger attempted to inch his way toward the back part of the bus. In so doing, he slipped and fell un der the bus and was run over. The man brought an action against the street railway company, who owned and op erated the bus, seeking dam ages for the injuries he had suffered due to the driver's negligent conduct. The com pany contended that the man was no longer a passenger at the time he was injured and that his injury was due to his own negligent conduct. THE COURT HELD: The Minnesota court held that even though he was not a passenger at the time of the iniury the company still owed him a duty to operate the bus I in a reasonable manner until ; he had a chance to get a safe j distance from it. The court awarded damages to the in jured man to compensate him for the injuries suffered. The court said that he had been without fault and was merely trying to get to the walk at the time the Injury took place. (Patton v. Minneapolis St. Ry. Co., 247 Minn. 368, 77 NW 2d 433, 1956.)
