IwMf TOW F, f HAPPY BIRTHDAY - While singing songs to wish Na tionalist Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek a happy birth day, some 10,000 Nationalist soldiers go through bayonet exercises in the northern part of Formosa. The gathering Samoa Prospering Under New BY ROBERT C. MILLER APIA, Western Samoa -JUPD -Western Samoa's newly born South Seas government is thriving on a diet of coconuts, cocoa and bananas. Born Jan. 1, with the bless ings of New Zealand, Western Samoa has money in the bank, a favorable trade balance and 100,000 happy Polynesians who are producing babies fast er than anyone in the Pacific. Blessed with a tropical cli mate, 6,000 -foot mauntains and seas teeming with fish, the Wester nSamoans have cash in their pockets to go along with their idyllic South Seas existence. Their government is unique. The Western Samoan parlia ment which meets in an an cient, two-story frame build ing elects only the white mem bers by universal sufferage. The other members are all sel ected under the Matai-or fam ily system - which rules Wes tern Samoa under a modern fuedal system. Trouble The new government had t e e t h ing troubles identical with all other new govern ments. Il found it was spend ing more money than it was earning, and when the adding machines showed a half mill ion dollar deficit, Finance Minister G F.D. Bctham lock ed the cash register and or dered austerity. The spending spree was caused by the relaxation of import restrictions. With in dependence, the Western Sa moans rushed to buy hard currency products they had been denied when under the influence of New Zealand. American goods won the pop ularity contests and nearly $750,000 worth of canned foods, hardware and cotton goods was offloaded at Apia for the eager market. New Zealand still cashes the big gest checks for goods shipped to Western Samoa due to pref erential trading agreements, close economic, political and social ties and geographical position. But there has been a drop in New Zealand imports to Apia and an astonishing in- Investment Funds Noon quotations on selected! storks- i INVESTMENT side nd . ..

Since the end of World War II, Western Samoa has had a favorable trade balance - ex ports earned more than im ports cost - in every year but two. The government started business with a fat bank ac count of about $1,100,000 but deficit spending ate into the reserves. It necessitated the belt-tightening campaign of Treasurer Bctham. No modern government has ever housed itself in more di lapidated buildings. Even the oldest resident can't remem ber the last coat of paint that was applied to the once-white frame buildings. First the Ger California Park Gained Through Nature Lovers By PETER J. HAYES San Francisco -IUPH- Teddy Roosevelt might have en joyed the scene in President Kennedy's office one day last week. Making use of several pens, Kennedy signed a bill creating a national seashore park of the Point Reyes "Island In Time" 30 miles northwest of San Francisco. The ceremony capped a five year fight by a determined group of nature lovers-a vic tory that doubtlessly would have been hailed by conscrva-lion-mindcd Teddy Roosevelt, under whose administration the National Forest service was founded in 1905. With California's popula tion increasing at the rate of more than one a minute, Ken nedy predicted the park would bring "vast dividends in years to come." Combination The National Park service said the triangular - shaped rocky headland jutting into the Pacific provides a combi nation of scenic, recreation and biologic interests which can be found nowhere in the country so near a large center of population. The 53,000-acre park unif encompasses 45 miles of shore line, including a straight Subscribers To repnrt Improper or non rVnvrrv of the Mail Tribune :r.

There hasn't been any excess ponds available to squander on imposing buildings for the new government. Potentials But with its troubles, few areas in the entire Pacific have the potential of Western Samoa. Some of the choicest cocoa in the world is grown here. The timber resources have hardly been touched, and visiting cattlemen predict that Western Samoa could become a beef exporting center due to the abundance of pasture stretch of beach; sand dunes, lagoons, cool green stands of bishop pine and douglas fir; waist-high fields of lupine in spring, off-shore rocks inhab ited by sea lions and marine birds and mule deer on brush covered slopes. The "Island In Time" name originates in pari from the fact that the Point Reyes pen insula is moving slowly north ward along the San Andreas fault, which caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Fault Divides The fault divides the pen insula from the mainland, making it an isolated geologic unit. The rocks of the pen insula are completely differ ent in type and age from the rocks of the mainland to the east. The new national seashore also is the site of an intriguing historical mystery: did Sir Francis Drake land here in 1579, thereby establishing the first English habitation in what is now the United States? Most historians believe Drake brought his Golden Hind into Drake's bay on Point Reyes for repairs before starting across the Pacific on his voyage around the world. White clilfs topped by green pasturcland at Point Reyes are believed to have reminded Drake of home and inspired him to call the country Nova Albion (New England). The move to set aside Point Reyes as a national seashore did not meet with unanimous support on the local level be cause of fears over removal of the lands from the tax roles. However, a group of con servationists organized into the National Seashore founda tion and went to work collect ing facts and figures showing that no economic burden would result. Checked "We checked throughout the country,' 'said Dr. Joel Gustafson, President, "a n d discovered that in every case where a national park was cs- i tahlishcd the tax base in I creased because of a corres- ponding increase in surround i ing land values."

For years Western Samoa has been a banana producer and has now made experimental ship ments to Japan in an attempt to expand her markets. Western Samoa's biggest untapped resource is tourism. The beauty of these two main islands is the type conjured up on a mid-January morning by a New England mentality whose frost-bitten owner wish es he were in the South Seas. Robert Louis Stevenson pick ed the hills behind Apia as the loveliest in the Pacific and lived here until his death. The new S4.B00.00O jet air port at neighboring American Samoa has brought Apia with in commuting distance to the world. With only a grass strip connecting it to the other world s airports, Apia is now less than 40 minutes flight away from the jet transfer point at American Samoa, by the 10 - passengercd Dchavi- lands flown by Polynesian Airways. The feudal government of Western Samoa is built on the unique caste system thai was a part of ancient Poly nesian life. Along with Prime Minister Fiame Mataafa, there are two ruling heads of state or "Tamai a aiga," noblemen Tupua Tama.sese and Malietoa Tantimafili.

Town Remembers Day When Daltons Came Home To Die By JOSEPH H. CARTER Coffey v ill c, Kan. -m - Smoke, blood and death end ed tlie crime career of the in famous Dalton gang here just 70 years ago. A blazing 15-gun battle thwarted three Dalton broth ers and two other young men who tried to rob two banks simultaneously. Eight died in the foray, four of them mem bers of the outlaw gang. This frontier cowtown reel ed under the deaths of four upright citizens, shot down defending the bank's money and Iheir own rights. The na tion rejoiced at news that the roving bandits were routed. I he Dalton brothers had re turned to their home town and died. Town Remembers Cofteyvillc today remem bers, but mostly by hearsay, that day in its history. And there are a few old timers around who actually recall the raid, but their memories are twisted by time and garnished motion picture accounts of the raid. M o n u m cuts now stand where the four defenders died, near the town's plaza. And several blocks away, in a Pot ter's field, an iron post and marble slab mark the Dalton graves. The date, Oct. 5, 1892, is common to the markers. It was a clear, balmy au tumn morning. Five despera does rode into town, tied their horses in an alley, and trolled lo the plaza. Bob and Enimelt Dalton entered the First Na tional bank while Grat Dal ton, Bill Powers and Dick Broadwell invaded the C. M. Condon and Company bank. Delayed Robbers C. M. Ball, a shrewd Con don bank teller, delayed his robbers by lying that an auto matic device would open the vault ins three minutes - at 9:45 a.m. The cool Daltons de cided to wait, even though the vault was open. Old Jesse Morgan, who wit nessed both dramas through plate glass windows, ran wild ly through town shaking his umbrella and shouting: "They are robbing the batiks." Bob and Emmctt quickly scooped up a feed sack of cash, but the delay at the Condon bank gave the towns people just enough t!me lo hear Morgan, grab arms from a hardware store and open fire. Trail of Death A trail of death followed the ringleader, Bob Dalton, as he drew fire so the gang could re-group by the horses in the alley. But the defenders followed quickly with bullets singing the death song. Grat, 33, and Bob, 30, fell dead only feet apart with the body of City Marshall Charles T.

Some of the best accounts Twenty year - old Emnielt, I nt n,,. miH . i i,. carrying $20,000 in loot, shunned a chance to spur his horse to freedom and relum ed to his fallen brother, Bob. Historians say they were clos er than most brothers, having I kMcA their first man together. Einmett, in his moment of mercy, was riddled witli bul lets. For days he defied death. Angry citizens wilh nooses in hand asked his doctor if Em met I would die without their help. "Hell ves. he'll die," color ful Dr. W. II. Wells said. "Did you ever hear of a patient of mine getting well?" Lived Emmell fooled I hem and lived to be sentenced to life in the Kansas State prison. He was paroled 15 years later and moved to Los Angeles where he turned to book writing, real estate dealing and movie acting. He died in 1937, still troubled from gunshot wounds but reformed and stoic about his outlaw years. Coffeyvillc, in the passing years, traded its buckboards and boardwalks for pavement and automobiles. The old Condon bank build ing is now occupied by the Embry Morgan real estate : company and the First Nation-1 al bank building now houses' a mercantile firm. , Not far from the old First ' National, a museum has been built to honor the four defend ers who died.

Those writers relished the gore and even pried into another aspect of the raid -the "why:" Why did the Daltons try lo rob two banks in Coffeyville, their home town, when they had been very successful as train robbers in the Oklahoma territory after deserting jobs as deputy U.S. Marshalls? Some said the Daltons wera trying to outdo their cousins, the Younger Brothers, or their more distant relatives, Jesse James and his gang. Others said they needed the money to flee the country. Emniett once credited his gang-leader brother with the decision and. in doing so, gave the reason. "Bob wanted to show Cof feyville what he could do."
