A half ft century, the ft old en era of exploration, full of dramatic events of man's struggle against the elements. In our pres ent day civilization, Insulated against the privations of the past, we have little appreciation of these exploits, for truly we cannot com prehend the meaning of that old quotation: "wooden ships and iron men." In our modern day efforts to ra tionalize history, historical re searchers and educators alike have stripped the pathways of the past rf their human qualities in the search for "facts" to fill the needs of our sterotyped pattern of edu cation. There is no wonder that the vast majority of our young sters fail to see the vision and ins piration of the "iron men", of the naht and turn to synthetic charac lers, the "Buck Rodgrrs" of the future, much to the consternation of those who attempt to channel education into production line tech niques in order to condition us for our "push-button' future. 462 years have passed since the discovery of Columbus, a little over one-fifth of the period we date from Uie birth of Christ, yet If we but pause to think we cannot but be amazed at the pace of human civ ilization has advanced In the past four centuries. The first 50 years of this dynamic period of the dis covery of a new continent ts full ot thrilling exploits. On the Atton lic side, from Darirn to Florida, the corst and islands had been visited b Columbus in his voyages o; 1492. 1493-5, and 1502: by Bas tidas in 1501; by Co.su and Ojeda in 1504-5; by Pmzoii and Diaz in 1506: by Ojeda, Nicuesa, nnd other would-be rulers of mainland colo nies since 1509; by Ponce de Leon ir. 1512 and 1521; by Valnivia in 1512: by Miruele In 1516: by Cor- tioba and Grljalu in 1517-18: by Cortes, Pineda, Caray, and Alain.

While the Spaniards were push ing their explorations of the new land in the central regions, other navigators were working the At lantic Coast from Florida to Lab ratio rand here we again find the great names of "iron men."

That land exist ed which was of prcat geojrraphi eel ex ten'. " oi - i-rt de veloped from the voyage. In 1498 Sebastian Cabot made a similar voyage, in which he coasted from Labrador northward possibly to 67 degrees 30 minutes, and then southward to the gulf of St. Law-j rence, and perhaps to Cape Hat-i teras. The Cortereals, Gaspar and Miguel, made three voyages for Portugal in 1500-2, in which they followed the coast from Newfound land far to the north, perhaps to Greenland. Both brothers were lost and of their discoveries made dur ing the last expedition nothing Is known. The Cortereals gave names j o Newfoundland and Labrador as depicted on maps of the time: they also left several local names. One of the strange twists of history in regard to the'Cabots and Corter eals is that there Is no contempor ary narratives of cither their feats of exploration. The Portuguese fish ermen are supposed to have made trips to Labrador nnd Newfound land "Bacalaos" they called it, the land of the codfish. No geo graphical results are known of these early commercial voyages. The voyages of the Bretons and Normans, including those of Denys In 1506 and Aubert In 1508 have likewise left us no record though Denys is supposed to have ex plored the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In 1520 Vazquez de Aillon sent out an expedition under Jordan, who reached a country called by him. "Chicora." on the present Carolina Coast. In 1524 Giovanni Verrazano. for France reached the coast not far from Jordan's Chicora. and sailed southward some 50 league:; pnd then northward to Newfound-j land. He was thus the first to ex- jjiuiu n mint jui nuu oi uie snore i line of the United States.

Anion in laiti n)so looked for the strait from Chi-! cora southward and made a vain ellort at colonization. In 1527 John Rut, an English navigator, ts said; to have followed the coast from 53 j degrees down to Chicora. Jacques j Carner lor France made three I expedition':, in 1634, 1535-6. an-' 1541-2. and so the story 'goes of "iron men in wooden ships." Poet's Corner j WE 1IAVI-: I1KARD I'OETRY By OR I'll.

Billboard claimed that the Republican candidate, Mr. Kit tridge, "did not know many people and was not a career politician.' By implication Billboard left the impression that the Democratic candidate, probably Harry Boi van, came under this evil brand. We have never looked with scorn 1 upon anyone who gives relent lessly to public service. Mr. Boi- van served in the state legislature Mr. ""kins. Is the policy of the Editor, concerning Mr. Se mon's status in the Democratic party. We criticized Mr. Semon, on grounds concerning policy is sues and not his ability. We do not take a onblic servant to task regarding ability as most legisla tors are average people like the constituents they represent. But we do feel that a public official's record should be analyzed fre quently. As Al Smith used to say: "Let's look at the record," we tried to point out in our January 23 letter why Mr. Semon is not a Democrat by some recent votes of his in Salem. That letter either is in your files now or has been long lost via the waste-paper bas- burn up our forests and we'll all go bust! Keep Oregon green!

Of course, the Demo- cratic primary is over and Mr. I Semon can t be purged" now I with several thousand Republicans i due to flock to the polls on Nov. : 2 and give him unqualified support. At the time I thought that that , letter wou d be of some value to true Democrats when they voted in the primary. Perhaps the let ter was too long, but Mr. Linman hirrt a longer one published last night. Perhaps you felt the letter was too bitter an analysis of a i nian who pretends to be a Dem- ocrat under false colors.

It came from the dim recesses of the tomb of Tutakhamen, a king who ruled Egypt and died at an early age about 3000 years ago. The tomb was discovered and opened in IVii. There the arch aeologists came upon a stagger ing profusion of gold and jewelry, furniture, chariots, household ar ticles, and the mummy of the young sovereign, encased in near ly a ton of solid gold. They also noted a warning en graved on the wall-"Cursed be he who touches me." Such messages were not unusual in the royal tombs. They probably were put there to tighten away graverobbers. If so, they failed, for virtucally every tomb-royal, noble or common was rifled thousands of years before the modern egyptologist ever began probing Into the tombs. However, less than a year after the opening of Tutankhamen's toinb. the man who financed the expedition, Lord Carnarvon, died suddenly. The cause of death a curious combination! was re corded as pneumonia and the ef fects of a mosquito bite. This started the story of "the curse of the Pharaohs."

There, representatives of the six governments which would make up that army met so France could lay down her new terms for Joining t h e European Defense Community (EDO. The other five are West Germany, Italy, Bel gium, the Netherlands and Lux embourg. France herself first proposed the single army. Having suggested it. she has stalled on joining it ever since, thus keeping it from com ing into existence. Under EDC, troops from all six nations would form a single army, wearing the same uniforms, using the same weapons. And all under a single command chosen by the six from among themselves. After long, painful consultation, all six nations in May 1992 signed a treaty to create EDC. But the signing by the various foreign ministers wasn't enough. EDC couldn't be bora until the parlia ments of all six had ratified the agreement. The parliaments of West Germany, Belgium, the Ne therlands and Luxembourg did -so. Itcly still hasn't but that has not been considered a stumbKnr; block. The Italians were expected to go along as soon as the French Parliament approved. But the French Parliament, more than two years after the treaty was signed, hasn't acted. There are a number of reasons, mainly these: fear ot a rearmed Germany, national pride, Rus sian influence. The Russian influence showed In actions of the Communist mem bers of the French Parliament. Russia doesn't want a rearmed West Germany, so they don't. The nationalists don't like the idea of France becoming part of a multination military force which would mean a long step toward the end of a separate French an my under full French control. And there is the fear of Ger many. After two world wars the French have reason to worry about a. Germany rearmed. And letting West Germany Into EDC would mean rearming her, although in a limited way. She'd have aboui 500,00 men in 12 divisions in EDC. Yet. part of the original French thinking In suggesting F.DC was that, if Germany were In EDC, she no longer would have her own ar my, as a possible threat to her which the "solar boat" was placed beside the pyramid.

W The United States and Britain rt. peatcdly have pressed the French to ratify the EDC agreement, i cause of the mixed feeling hi their Parliament, French leaderi backed away from a test. Then a new French premier Pierre Mendes-France. came oo the scene a man of force, fa cislon and action. He negotiates i truce in the Indpchina war. He of. fered home rule to the Tunisians And he promised to lay the ques. tion of ratifying EDC before the French Parliament this month Since the mood of Parliament not good, he and his staff sought a solution that might be accept, able there. His solution, according to re ports from Europe, would requir. the other five EDC counties to agree to some changes in th treaty. Those changes are de. scribed as so far-reaching that while they might be acceptable to the French Parliament they might also wreck any hope for i real EDC. In short, although the French agreed to all the detail? of the EDC treaty back in 1952. they now want to change it. For that reason Mc-ndes-France arranged to talk with the foreign ministers of the other five EDC countries at Brus sels today. Those countries, plus the United States and Britain, have taken chilly view of Mendes-France's ideals as reported. A shrewd man, he may deliberately be sounding tough to get a compromise.
