The Prcnch. In that event, will face the terribly dilllcult Job ol lichtlng oil the numerically au perlor attacker while they are totting their troop aboard alilpa at laiphong. But that Isn't all. Allen aaya that not only will the French have to cope with auperlor numbers ol attacking communists. At Iha aatna time, ha thinks, they will have to taca uprisings on the part o( tha Vietnamese natlvea. He adds: ' "THROUGHOUT TUB INDO.

It'a a good thing wo haven't In tervened on the aide of the French ao far, and I certainly hope we have the good common sense to atay out of It from here on out. We. who wera the first people In the world to throw off the yoke of colonial Imperialism, have no business flghttng on the aide of the colonial lmporlallata In Asia. 80 much for a situation in Asia that could be explosively danger- 011a for our country If we make the wrong move. Let'a turn now to a situation In our own yard that has been doing the good name of Klamath county no good ao far and can do great harm In the lu ture. I'm referring, of course, to the unfortunate situation that has ari en In our law enforcement proced. ures a altuAlion that as of now is drifting In the direction of a breakdown In law enforcement. In tha eyes of the public, at least, thla situation has developed into a controversy between Dis trict Attorney Alderaon and Cir cuit Judge Vnndenberg, Aldoraon has taken the position that he Is being persecuted by the Judge. Judge Vnndenbarg'a ' position Is that Alderaon la an Incompetent prosecutor whoso Indictments are defective and whose trial methods are not In accordance with Ore gon law or thn general laws ol evidence aa built up over centur ion of experience.

Miss Klanv ath. The ride la being made possi ble through the courtesy of the Wlllard Hotel. Miss Klamath's reputation for bucking (no contestant haa ridden her to the whistle yet) haa won her a place or her own In aaddle bronc history. She la no longer Included In the regular string of ssddle broncs but la reserved for special rldea such aa the one Monday, when aome cowboy agrees to ride her. LOCAL REPUTATION Mlsa Klamath's rider locally has a reputation of hla own, thouxh. and a long history of auccessful rodeo events behind him. The name Ross Dollarhlde Is not new to saddle bronc riding contests, In lilt Ross Dollarhlde won the saddle brono riding contest at Klamath Falls, and again In 1847, 1963 and 1993. But In 1914 It was Rosa Dollarhlde Sr.: In 1954 It will be Ross Dollarhlde Jr. Ross Sr. waa one of the top rldera back around 1913 to 1924. At that time bulls were ridden with a sad dle Instead of a loose rope aa they are today. Ross Sr. waa the first man to Tide the famous bucking bull, Nero. , He rode him at Ash land In 1919, and won the aaddle bronc riding event that same year. On September 37. 1931. tlio dnv Ross Jr. was born In a Bums hos-' pltal, Ross Sr. was winning the saddle brono riding contest at the Burns Rodeo. So It may be said that Ross Jr, Just naturally rodeos. BUCKAROO BOSS ' . Ross Sr, was buckaroo boss for yeara at the MO Ranch at Ariel; Ross Jr. worked for his father through his teens. He waa In the Naval Air Corps during the war, then returned to the MO ranch. He waa there two yeara, riding at sev eral rodeos during that time, In cluding Klnmnth Fulls In 1046. In 1046 Rons Jr. began to rodeo on a full time basis. At first he contested In only the ssddle bronc riding, but now he also enters the bulldogglng, onlf roping and team roping contests. Ho has won 0110 or more of these events at many ro deos throughout the United States during tho past eight years, In cluding the saddle brono riding contest at Madison Squaro Oar dens, New York; Caldwell, Idaho: Ellensburg, Wyoming; Lowlston, Idaho and at Uia Cow Falnoo In Francisco. Ross la. the prosent world's cham pion bulldogger. Ho won this title bj winning more bulldogglng throughout 1053 than any other con testant.

The French command Thurs day announced they were pulling oul of such Important and heavily populated centers as I'hut Diem, Thai Blnh, Nam Dlnli and Nlnh Blnh, all within 65 to 15 miles south and southeast ol Hanoi. That automatically meant an area embracing thoussnds of vil lagan peopled by around four mil lion Vietnamese were dropping In to the hands of the troops of Viei minh Oen. Vo Nguyen Olsp. Il also meant that while these millions were being abandoned to communism, the French soon would be shakily controlling only the lifeline between Hanoi and Haiphong and a strip of territory In northeastern Indochina Includ ing the town of Moncny on the Chinese border. Thst too, however, msy soon be given up as the French concen trate all Ihelr defensive power In the do-or-dle sector between Hanoi and Haiphong. Barring a cease-fire, the Viei minh are oxpected quickly to hit the lifeline with a massive human sea attack that could crush the French Union forces. Whether the delta then Is swept by monsoon rains will make Utile difference. The Vletmlnh--usually have staged their heaviest attacks dur ing rainstorms because they Im mobilise French armor and war planea. There Is also danger of a pos sible, civil uprising as tho Vlct mlnh sweep into thousands of the approximately 5,600 villages where seven million VlcUiameso live.
