It would be astonish ing if they could suddenly do so now. The United States, Russia, Britain and France have been con sidering it in the U.N. since 1846. They have even mora reason now for finding a solution than they did in 1M: they're better able to de atroy one another, and civilisation too. But by the same token agree ing now is Itkely to be harder than ever: they have far more men, money, time and materials invested in preparing for war if it comes. In UM the United States had the torn bomb. Russia didn't. She was working on it. At the same time, while the United States and its European allies had stripped their armed forces ' to the bone, Russia retained a hugs army cep acia ox overrunning Eurorje. Fear of the American bomb was probably the main reason Russia didn't gobble Europe. But in the intervening years, while the big powers and the . U.N. General Assembly considered atomlo con trol plans that got nowhere, these things happened: -1. Russia developed not only the atom but the hydrogen weapon as well. The United States, while out stripping Russia in the number of atom bombs it could manufacture, made such awesome progress in hydrogen development that Its two explosions in March sent a shudder around the earth. 2. From a state of almost tragic weakness eight yeara ago, the United Slates and its Western friends have rearmed, set up their North Atlantic Treaty Oreanlaa- Won as a mutual aid society against nussian attack in tfte West, and the United States baa ringed Russia with air bases.

But while the West built up its muscles at home. It suffered an awiul loss in Asia without a chance to fire a shot. The Chine. Communists ran Nationalist Chiang Kai-shek, the American Ally, off uie comment and took over China, inus, while Russia raced to match the West in the develop ment of new weapons, it acquired In Its Chinese allies an almost end less supply of manpower which the West could never hope to match. Because It couldn't, its re liance had to rest on technical auperlorlty: more, and more terrt Die, weapons. Since both the West and Russia now could dismember each other with their atomic weapons, it might seem the part of wisdom for Uiem to agree In a hurry to get rid of tneir bombs. But the Increased strength on both sides since 194a has made agreement on disarmament more difficult. For one thing. In 1946 the communists were playing It foxy. iney naa not necome openly ntr- gressive as iney old later in Korea and Indochina, If the United States and its allies agreed to disarmament and outlaw ing the bombs, what assurances would they have that the Commu nists, witlt their superior and ex pendable manpower, wouldn't try to overwhelm the West or the rest of Asia by sheer weight of num bers? Its main defense now is In its weapons. It won't give them up easily, or break up Its alliances. And Russia, which spurned pre vious American proposals for dis armament, hasn't shown any signs oi cnanging its mind. PLAN A PARTY!

Mf TWO WW XJT ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD In writing about mountain sheep I digressed a bit to speak of the mountain goat which apparently vanished from our country before uie coming oi uie wnite man, the mountain sheep, however, were well known to the early day settler, Originally the mountain sheep In habited every canyon, cliff, and lava butte as well as many of the rough lava beds east of the Cascade Mountains.. They were common in the early part of uie century in the Steens and Warner Mountains long after they had been killed olf Irom other parts of their native range. . Yet in spite of the common oc currence of the sheep in our west ern country, Bailey reports in 1936 that the collection of the Biological Survey (Fish and Wildlife Service) possessed IS specimens, all more or less Imperfect, of heads and horns and bones picked up at or near Fossil, Maupln, Hampton, Sheephead Mountains, Fine Moun tains, Ureka Station, Adel, steens Mountains, Hart Mountain, Crowl ey, Watson, Jordan Creek, Nigger Rock Canyon, Mahogany Moun tains, in South Ice Cave, 40 miles south of Bums, and near Lower Klamath Lake. These specimens demonstrate the wide spread distribution of moun tain sheep over the interior region of the Oregon country. Then on top of tnese tactual evidences there are the records of pioneers and people still living who have hunted and seen the mountain sheep in the re gion. Bailey writes that In 1916 he vis ited the Warm Springs Indians near The Dalles and talked with several of the older Indians about sheep. They knew the animal very well and promptly gave him Its name "Tsnoon." They stated that a long time ago, plenty of these animals lived all along the Des chutes River Canyon and in the rough rocky range of hills south of Warm Springs shown on the maps as the Mutton Mountains. The east ern end of this range drops into the Deschutes Canyon about 40 miles south of The Dalles and pre sents lofty terraced walls that must have been a paradise for the moun tain sheep, as were also many of the almost inaccessible lava cliffs along the Deschutes Canyon up nearly to Bend. Leading into It from the east is the simlliar can yon of the Crooked River. These Indians had never heard of any sheep on Mount Hood or Mount Adams. Bailey, in his search for records of mountain sheep in Oregon, in terviewed many people in the high desert country. Up in the Fossil country he found that the sheep vanished somewhere around ISM. In 1915 Lpn Vobrath of Bend told Jewett of seeing two mountain sheep in the Deschutes Canyon a short distance above the mouth of the Metolius River in 1685. On Bridge Creek on the John Day River. Jewett was told by set tlers who came there in 1873 of bands of 50 or more mountain sheep seen in the John Day area, he was not able to find out when they vanished, only that none had been seen for a long time. Bailey in 1916 was told by Dibble, proprietor of the Burns Hotel, that mountain sheep were numerous on Ill Yt.kV HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OMOOW Time . Nsrr all the rimrock of the surrounding country in 1891, ranging from Burns to Bend on the rough rim of Dry Basin, on Olass Mountain (Lake Co.), Rams Rock, Juniper Mountain, in the Warner Moun tains, trie cliffs along Abert Lake, Christmas Lake, and even put on the sagebrush plains. He said they used to come down to the domestic sheep herds when these were first brought into thst part of the state and that the rams would attack the bucks in the tame herds. The sheep herders carried guns, and often shot them to keep them out of tne nerds. A few years after the tame sheep came into the country, according to Dibble, the mountain sheen began to die of scab and he thought this disease caused their rapid disappearance. An old Indian, Captain Louis. head of the Piute Indian Tribe near Burns, told Bailey, practically the same story in regard to the range of sheep as did Dibble. Louis stated the sheep were common all ever the rimrock of the plains country of eastern Oregon before the white man came. He said they crossed the sagebrush valleys so commonly that his father used to hunt them on horseback with bow and arrow. He said they left the Steens Moun tains and the great Alvord Playa. This part of the mountains he called in bis language "Tudu paenaoue Quolpa tevewa" which he trans. lated as the hills where the sheep go in the winter. He said his people minted tne animals with bows ana arrows on the steens Mountains, where they could get close to them along the crest of the range. This accounts for the unusual number of broken obsidian arrow points to found scattered over the too of this range. WAKE , ' . REOOIO CALABRIA.

Frank Tripp Likely you're not going to move this spring, ss yesrly did a goodly percentage of people half a century age. April was a month of exodus for all but the more lucky well-to-do Not so many owned their homes then, snd with seme It wss "cheap er to move than pay rent," the catty said of many a departing neighbor. Whether they moved or not, al most everything but the kitchen stove came out of the house for an airing. "Spring house cleanin' " was a symbol of good housekeeping and could only be proved by exhibiting all of one's possessions in the yard Slid on the clothesline It is one event of the "good old days" which has passed the point of no return, and I wouldn't wish It back: not on a dog. For I was mother's little helper, even to high school weight of 180. The mere thought of house cleaning still drives me nuts. Hosslng mattresses snd over stuffed Victorian furniture to the yard for a beating was bad enough, but It was the carpets which took the last vestige of Joy out of spring. Carpets severed every room ex cept the kitchen, and were nailed every four inches elose up to the baseboard. From taking them up and down the floor was so per forated that It looked like a sold out punchboard. - My mother's notion was that no carpet wss clean until it naa tne daylights whaled out of It on a clothesline for halt a day. In a brisk wind, then spread on the grass and swept on both sides. There wss no chesting because from anywhere in the house she could tell when I stopped beating. Then they all had to go baek down and with the same dull and twisted carpet tacks, which were supposed to last at least three ex tractions. Most carpets these days were "ingrain" which had to be stretched to ley flat. ' The carpet stretcher was a vic ious gadget, an enemy of carpets and of all who used them. Prongs In a beard, upon which you knelt, caught the carpet while you used a hooked-en lever to stretch the edge to the well so you could tack It. Carpets tere, exeept the choice Brussels la the psrlor; fingers bled, mothers raved and sons learned to curse, at least under their breath. The stair carpet also was an in vention of the devil, the long, nar row, snaky things. Newspapers or straw went under the carpets'. I guess that's how newspapers got' going to be put under carpets and on pantry shel ves. After tne part they played in my young life as a carpet layer, why I went In the newspaper busi ness is beyond mo. Just to get even I guess. Once when I handled a mail or der advertising account the firm got an order from a long forgot ten n a w s p a p a r ad. They're all keyed, you know. I wrote the cus tomer to leam bow come.

M.D. Travel by plane has become so common that the question comes its mora and more often as to whether it is safe for people with various kinds of diseases to trsvel m this way. Cnalnlv moat healthy people can travel In commercial airplanes st the usual heights, and higher in pressurised cabins, without suffer ing any harm. Only at extreme heights, such ss flying over the "hump" between India and China do passengers suf fer temporary loss of consciousness during flight It not given oxygen. This is not a problem for commer cial airline passengers. Tho lungs snd heart are tne or gana most vulnerable, to changing altitudes. A few extremely few accidents to the lungs or hesrt have been associated with flying. In one ease a young man developed a collapsed lung (celled pneumo thorax) after flying to an altitude of only 8000 feet. Ordinarily, however, only those patients who are under treatment with pneumothorax (artificially nroduced to treat tuberculosis or some other condition), or who hsve some other lung complaint, should refrain from air travel for fear of this difficulty. If they do fly, they should mske sure that the flight is not to go above 5000 feet. For specific information they must, of course, consult their own physician. People with infected sinuses msy have some difficulty, particularly since coming down fast in unpres surlxed cabins is likely to cause pain. Some substance which can be inhaled ot nose drops which shrink the membranes lining the nostrils may be used to prevent this type of pain. How about air travel during nreg- nancy? If extra oxygen is given above 5000 feet there should be no question of lack of oxygen. How ever, if heart disease Is present oxygen may be advisable if the plane flies high. The only possible reason why a pregnant woman In good health mignt refrain from flying late In the course of the pregnancy would be because of the possible chance of having the baby born during flight. Obviously, this chance is greatest during the Isst month. Esch airline passenger must take some responsibility for being sure thst lungs snd heart are in good condition before undertaking mgnu, especially if the contem plated trip may take them to un. usually high altitude in unpressur. izeo planes. With ordinary precautions and wim lew exceptions there is no good reason why airplane travel should be any more dangerous from the standpoint of health than travel on the ground.

She Is sure she Is the first woman In history to learn how to write a message In ink on a chicken wishbone. . Today, nearly a quarter of a century after she set out to learn this art. Miss Blnger has become the tycoon of America's lueky wishbone Industry. "I have collected nearly ooo.ooo wishbones, and feel I just aooui have a corner on the market, ahe said, not without pride, sne has wishbones from quail, pigeons, geese, chickens and turkeys.. No eagles yet. She now feels that she Is resdy to go into mass production with her personally inscribed lucky wishbones, and her goal is to put the greeting csrd business out of business. ' Don't even say cards to me I hate the word," she said cheer fully. "An Inscribed lucky wish bone is a much more personalised greeting than a card. What could be friendlier?" Miss Blnger. a plump, voluble woman In her middle years, has boxes overflowing with wishbones in her apartment. She keeps sev eral hundred thousand more In storage. Has to. She found her llfework back In 1930 when, on Impulse, she de cided to send a wishbone to a friend in trouble, and attempted unsuccessfully to write a few words of good will on It. I found out right then you just can't write on a wishbone," she ssld. Miss Blnger was a stubborn young lady, she decided she would find a way to do it. For seversl years she boiled wishbones, soaked them in different chemicals, tried various inks. Finally, she triumph ed. 'How I did it Is a secret be tween me snd the bones," she said. "But I have patents on the process now, snd anyone else who tries to sen inscribed lucky wish bones Is in for serious trouble." , At first Miss Blnger merely wrote a message on her chicken bones, prettified them with artifi cial flowers and ribbons, snd gsve them es presents to her friends. Then, as requests poured in, she began to sell a few.. 'In 1935 a department store asked me to inscribe' 5,000 lueky wishbones ss souvenirs for their customers, but I had to turn down the order Just didn't have the bones," she said, sadly. She hasn't been caught short since. She gets bones now from many of New York's leading ho tels and restaurants, and thous ands of people mall them to her. "Some of them arrive pretty smelly," she said. "But I boil them all clean as a whistle."
