THURSDAY, OCT. 13, 1949 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PACE SEVEN Clever Nehru Keeps India Free of Chaos tly HKiMlU ARNE WAIiiiinoton rPPor many reaaoii India handsome prim mlnUtrr, Jewaliarlal Nehru, U be Ini received In Washington with more thin the usual Interest and curiosity accorded foreign leaders. Itli h. educated, chosen by Oandhl to lead hla nation, he hu bran conspicuously succenatul In keeping tin general far Cnatern chaoa from hl own Mill. How dnw he do lit Tin itory of tht rioting In the Pun Jab In the lata uinmr of 1947 U probably tin sharpest eeee In point. Till I on the Information of a. Milton Kelly, who wee Tht Associ ated pre chief In India at tht limt. nillr Difference 11) Punjab la northern prov ince that lira athwart the linn now drawn between India and Pakistan, Uia two natloin atl up when tin British ot out. India la prrdciml. nantly Hindu: and Paklatan, Mi ltm. Till rcligluua dllfrrencet among U unlettered of both na tion la bitter. Right after Independence day. Au uat IS. IM1. when tha two natlona rre aeparaled, rioting bnika out In tha Punjab. Rrporla were too brlrf for Kelly, who waa In Delhi, ao ha art out for Urn fighting area. Ha brought out plcturra to prove what he found. He aaw death and deetnjlrlon. Ha remember! ba blea. cut In two. lying by tht road; whole famlllea cut down their homra; building to wrecked that aire! wera htapa of rubblt. Kelly estimated that soma half million loat their Uvea In that riot ing, although ht aaya there will never be any way to know the death toll. To add to confusion, Hin du In tht Moalrm area trekked home to their own kind. Moalem did tht aamt. Kelly aaya perhap nlnt million people migrated that autumn: Just picked up what they could carry and walked. No one will know that figure, for aure. either. Huge Camp Tht reault for Nehru wa huge reduce rami In India. Kelly aaw rampa with 40 000 to &0.000 people hungry and living In Incredible filth." It aeema the Hindu were prevented by thru- rrliglou prac tice from cleaning up their own filth. So they lived In It. Mlraru though untold number died of dli eaae. But there wa danger beyond dl. erase. Tha communUU moved In. They dudalned to talk to crowd, but they did appear to go after leader. Kelly at In on one auch talk In a email military shelter. Tht group Included a Hindu communut. a Moalem army officer, a JapaneM radio ommentatnr. and two Hindu newapapermen. The communlat told them that "In rommunUm there I no room for communal fighting." That aound like gibberish hert. But ht waa laying that different re llgloua group would never be forced to live together. At the time Oandhl waa trying to prevent Hindu and Moalem from aeparatlng. Also at that time the communist had Infiltrated Into Indian commu nication: telephone, telegraph, trucking and railroad. They could have paralysed the country. Nehru faced that when he had to move Into tha Punlab to bring about or der. He moved anyway. He aent In aoma military. He aent In homing material to throw up little "bash aa" for the refugee wooden hut, many with thatched rood. He aent In food. Larky Luck wax on hi lde. Once the migration had leparatrd most of the Moalem and Hindu, the bit temeaa died down. Oandhl'i death finally atopped the rioting. Nehru again had comparative peace In hi newly free land, and the communUU had won not a (In gle province. Now moat of the com munlat leaden are In Jail. Among Nehru' Par Eastern neighbor. China I almoat loat to communlat armle. There I atlll no settlement In the Indies. Viet-Nam and Burma havt aporadlc uprisings. Korea la ipllt between communlat and democrat. Nehru 400.000.000 people may be hungry. many have alway been. But there I no civil war. There I no real communlat threat at the moment. And the rupee I one of Ui world comparatively aound money. A Slipcover Headboard Were Going To Have More Teachers Hy BILL JKNKINH THE late eyalem of higher edu cation ha releaaed the latent flgurea on tha achool situation In Oregon with aome rather significant lacla outlined.

Perhapa the moat algnlflcant statistic, however, la tht fact Uiat enrollment for elementary teacher training at the three collegea of education la up anywhere from 20 to 60 per cent. The Increaaa waa cored even In the face of the ruling that thia year only thoat high achool etuilrnla In the upper half of their clau were allowed to en roll. With more and more popula- I lion gain Blacking up all tha time It epueara aa though the leaching piulrulon would once again appeal to many itudenU aa a life work. And we need them. Over-crowding In our achool la a menace from every angle. From the atandpolnt nt health tafetv and learnlne.

The cotton padding 1 held In place over the front of the plywood board by mualln atretched over It. then tacked to the back of the headboard. To make the tllp cover, cut ma terial to fit plywood frame, allow ing an extra Inch at aide and top. Allow for the thickneaa of the ply wood board by cutting a aeparata trip two Inchea wider than the width of the board. For perfect fit, pin the material smooth and ahape It directly on the padded headboard aa the home maker doea (Inset.

Not Needed Recent lorm havt made It poa Isbla to lift tha restriction Imposed for tha flra aeaaon on the Modoc national forest under regulation T-l. according to Supervisor C. M. Rec tor. Campflrt permit are no longer required and tmoking In tht foreat la now permitted. There will be warm dry period thla fall when flrea will spresd In certain area, and everyone la urged to be aura their campflrea are dead out before leaving them and that lighted matches or burning tobacco are out before being discarded. Under the provision of the state law, permit are still required for debris burning until December I. Tht Modoc had 141 fire this year, 114 of which were caused by light ning and 34 by man' carelestneaa. Six of the man caused flrea were started by hunters. Tht Modoc for eat with 148 flrea thla year, which la about 60 per cent mora than tha past five year average, bad a very heavy fire aeaaon. to me that It's no more than an other narrow, winding road and no more dangerou than any other. Not a well equipped with guard rail a aome. but not aa crooked aa aome either. WHILE you're thinking about driving here are aome more fig uie. A report on the lx-month tiafflc accident aheet for the atate ahowa that SO per cent of the ac cident happen at night and 40 per cent of auio fatalities are suf fered at night.
