By ELIZABETH BUTLER LOOSLEY 1 1 INURING our explorations, we found where U willows had been cut, the ground dis turbed and where horses had been driven over and over the same spot. We alwavs felt that was where , Lieutenant John C. Fremont's party had been attacked by the Indians and three of his Delaware Indians killed by the Modocs, who evidently had followed them and surprised them at night, "Precaution caused us to locate for the night on open ground where we had a view in every direction. The sig nal fires were growing In num ber and we decided the In dians were wrought up as their guilty conscience led them to believe we were a party come to avenge Fremont's men." "Weren't you scared?" Frank whispered the question. "We were young and foolhardy, maybe. We meant no harm to the natives, yet we didn't know their feelings so not one of us was right comfortable. We were fifteen men in a strange country surrounded by several hundred Indians if we could judge by the ever in creasing signal fires. We had done nothing to provoke them, of course, but we did not know when we would be called upon to defend our selves." The backlog, its frpnt having been con sumed, fell forward with a crash and Ed jumped a foot into the air. Frank laughed nervously and Lindsay Applegate said placating ly, "It's all right, son, I've felt just that way myself,, many a time." Here Aunt Ella said in her mild, pleasant voice, "Dinner is ready. Come while the biscuits are hot." The two boys were reluctant to leave but on the promise that they would hear the rest of the laying out of the "southern emigrant road" after the dishes were washed, trooped for the dining room. O. C. Applegate's wife and Ed's mother, Mrs. George Walling, are sisters. The Wallings came west in 1843. (To Be Continued) News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 22 The condition of foreign affairs is apt to become more deeply involved before it gets better. The military man, Lt. Gen.-Walter Bedell Smith, selected by Mr. Truman to go to Russia as ambassador, has now been sent on his way to Moscow, presumably with new instructions on the course of Soviet-American affairs. My guess would be General Smith will enter into the confusing diplomatic fray with a purpose of establishing the usual direct non-political np proach. Diplomats seldom say what they mean; military men speak directly. With them it is a question of "What do you want?", "What have you got?" and "What do you pro pose to do?". The West Point schooling always has taught practical considerations. For these reasons I judge the permanent mission of Gen eral Smith represents a fresh effort by this ad ministration to establish some reasonable and practical grounds for future Russian negotia tions. Under-Interpreted Venture THIS under-interpreted venture seems to me to be equally as Important as the Iran developments which are deeply involved in diplomacy. The filing by the Iran government of a protest against Russia with the United Nations security council in its provisional na ture, may have been too happily' interpreted in tliis country. On its face it represented a t decision by the Iranian government to stand for its independence. .This naturolly has raised American hopes that a new stanchion has been built to resist the encroachments Russia has been making upon the basic peace doctrine of the four freedoms. The wiles of diplomacy are such however, that this conclusion must bo hedged. Some underlying doubts in the situation can be found upon analysis of the strength of the stanchion In the first place, the new premier of the Iranian government was established after the Soviets had protested the resistance policy of the former government head. The protest of his minister here to UNO was made after his recent visit to Stalin out of which many rumors have grown. One story accredited to British circles is that the premier was told by Stalin not only that an appeal to UNO would be considered an unfriendly act as announced but his govern ment would be replaced if he tried it. On the other hand an unaccredited rumor here sup poses that the protest will not be pressed be- or reports on either side, the status of the provisional agenda of the council that is it may not be taken up. Regardless of rumors on reports on either side, the status of the protest, of course, is provisional. It can be taken up by a vote of 7 members but a veto by Russia would shelve it. " ' Encouraging Development WITH matters in this involved diplomatic state, the dispatch of General Smith rep resents the most encouraging development, and a firmer one. As nearly as I can judge, few authorities are being swayed by the appeasement efforts such as represented most conspicuously by the speech of Senator Pepper. Big Three gather ings were important from a publicity stand point and were necessary when the foundations of peace had not been laid. But now that the agreements have been established, the problem is to put them into effect. My latest information suggests Russia has nothing of a military nature which we -need fear. Specifically she does not have the atom bomb or early prospects of getting it. The bomb formula is so deeply covered by arrange ments for secrecy made during the war, that it may be assumed to be safe. The need for appeasement in the face of Russia's threatening diplomatic position is there fore not apparent.

The World Today By D.WITT MacKENZIE AP World Trav.ltr MacKENZIE PARIS, March 22 (71) For mer President Herbert Hoover is launching his investigation of the European food shortago without any delusions as to the gravity of the position or of the dangers which develop w h e n men's minds a r o ovcrwrou g h t by hunger. Ills recogni tion ot the crcat urgency of the situation wits qullo appar ent in a private conversation which I, had with him on the eve of his departure for Home, where ho will continue his study. His thirst for Information impelled him to rob mo of my prerogatives ns a reporter and he proceeded to ply me with questions about the position in central Europe, which Mrs. Mack and I have just toured. lt was easy to see that he was working from the encyclopaedic knowledge which ho acquired while food relief administrator for Europe at the end ot the hist war. I saw a great deal of him at that time as un Associated Press correspondent. 500.000,000 Hungry His present problem makes the dilemma of Old Mother Hub bard look like the plenty of a Sunday school picnic. U s esti mated that there are some 500, 000,000 people hungry in va rious parts of the world and the experts tell us there's only enough food for three-quarters of them. We don't have to draw diagrams to emphasize the grim ness of that situation. It menus thai a lot of people nro going to dlo ot hunger before world pro duction can catch up with tho shortiiMU. The position Isn't Urn sumo now as it was urior tno ihmi war, ivimii Mr. Hoover made lilinsell famous us Europe's provlsloiitif. Thun thu world hud prepared ri- ih fund Hhoi'liiue which fol lowed the first global conflict and tho contingency count ue met. llut now there Just Isn't tho food ami there won t uo any thlim Him eiiouilh food until alt' or tho harvests several mouths hence. No wonder Mr, Hoover says tho next four monins are the crucial ones. Play Atlm Ale points out Unit the Immo diitte relief must coino from North und South America, 'i'hut's where the grain and other foot! stnlfs ure. This mctinti thill Cull uda, thu United Slates and the Argentine have to play alius to the world for a third of a year. A third of u yearand what tragedy win develop lit that tlinu if the food emergency isn't met. Mr. Hoover will find (und prob ubly foresees it ulreiuly) thai the passions of Europe uru being swayed by hunger. Folk In the hiird-lilt ureus ure reaching willv-nlllv for new nolltlcul nos trums In tho hope that they will bring relief.
