(7 In The- Day's lews (f MS mm i i n i i BV FRANK JENKINS Lessons of history note: Police throughout England hive oeen alerted to watch (or an armed bana o( about 20 men who raided a British barracks near Reading last night and seized a quantity of ammunition and arms. The raiders, some of thein wear ing British uniforms, were identi fied as members of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. The out lawed Irish army is pledged to fight the political partition of Ire land, where six northern counties are still a political part of Britain. It might be a good idea tor the big boys In the Kremlin to take a day off soma time and read up on the situation of which tins Irish Republican Army is trie modern hangover. It got started back in the 12th century when England's Norman conquerors stuck their noses into Ireland s affairs. They intervened in the first place in behalf ol a deposed Irish king, but that was only an xcuse. Whet they wanted was IRISH LAND. '- The ruckus that started then has been going on, in one form and! another, ever since. Last night's aiiair in Reading was just an in significant incident in the eight cen turies of turmoil that followed the first Norman invasion in 1111. In'The closing weeks of World War II, the Russians grabbed tne eastern part of Germany. They are still hanging onto it. It Is prob able that they will hang onto It as long as they can. Ireland has been a hot potato, and over these eight centuries there have been many times when the English have wished they could drop it and be done with it. It isn't at all improbable that the Rus sians will find Germany an equally hot potato. When one speaks of potatoes, one thinks naturally of the Irish. How come? iVelU it's a long; story. The Norman-English invaders of Ireland were feudal lords. Following the pleasant feudal custom, they divided the conquered land up into vast feudal estates and these es tates were bestowed by the sov ereign upon his nobles. The people, being mere serfs, went with the land. As the centuries passed, they rose from the lowly estate of serfs to the somewhat higher one of ten ants. As tenants, they paid what we call "grain rent." And, as time passed, the rent was steadily RAISED on them until after pay ing their rent they didn't have enough left to feed themselves. Here is where the potato came The potato was first discovered bv white men in south America, and from there it was taken back to Europe, where it was improved enormously In size ana quality In time, it reached Ireland, whose cool climate was well adapted to it. The Irish took to it in a big way and used it as a substitute for the - grain that was taken away from them by the landlords. They also learned now to make rrom it peculiarly potent whiskey, which helped to dull the sharp edge of their woe. That is how Irishmen and po tatoes came to be associated more or less indissolubly in the public thinking. There's one more chapter. In the 180's there was an al most total failure of the potato crop in Ireland which resulted in a terrible famine. Thousands died of hunger and hundreds ol thousands emigrated. That was when the big Irish emigration to America started an emigration that added a priceless strain to our national blood line. From these Irish immigrants came some of our best citizenship. You know Considering the present state of the potato market Which In considerable part is the result of declining per capita con sumption of potatoes I can t help wishing we could get another BIG immigration ol potato-eating Irish.

These plans, if approved by the necessary regulatory authorities, both federal and state, will provide 315, 000 kilowatts of power end eventual storage of 580,000 acre feet of water. The cost of the project, including both power end storage, is estimated at $70,000,- 000, of which Approximately $59,000,000 will be expended in Klamath County and about $11,000,000 in Siskiyou County.

Irish Republicans Raid British Barracks, Flee With Ammunition And Guns READING.

It escaped with more than 100 guns and 200.00(1 rounds of ammunition. Scotland Yard rushed guards to all ports and airfields with a warn ing: "These men are desperate; they will fight for their lives; they will try to reach Ireland." Swooping on a British army bar racks at Aioortieid, tne iba men overpowered the guards and made a getaway with their loot.

The 2 a.m. raid touched olf fresh fears of the terrorism that plagued Britain before World War n, when fanatical Irish nationalists were blamed for planting time bombs in key spots in the capital. A War Office spokesman said: "We are taking all essential pre cautions, we are ready for any thing that might happen."

Pa. :.fl Hurri cane Connie, which dumped monsoon-like rains over the Northeast ern Seaboard, dwindled to a medl- um-sicd storm Saturday alter causing at '.ea:st 41 dea.hs. The storm sailed through Central Pennsylvania near here and into New York SUttc, limping along with a scries of windy squalls. after a frightening nine-day Jour ney from the Caribbean. Fourteen persons perished In one tragedy alone on Chesapeake Bav. An excursion schooner with '21 aboard capsized in heavy seas near North Beach, Md. Otherwise, the rains were the most destructive part of Connie, destined to be recorded in weather annals as the storm that was more water than wind. Now Yorkers bailed out base ments and sloshed through a rec-ord-breakini rainfall. So did Phil adelphia, and Baltimore, Washing ton and Richmond. All along the Atlantic Seaboard it was the same story: RAINS Enormous rains pouring down from the front edges ol the big hurricane produced local flooding. heavy damage In spots. Rivers swelled to the rim ot their water lines. Creaks overflowed lowlands Streets ana mgnwaya oecame lakes In spots as overtaxed storm ;ewei'B failed to funnel away the rush of water.

' That purpose was to have the five teams of four-nation truce in spectors get out of South Korea, particularly the Communist Poles and Czechs because of alleged tpy ing activities. President Syngman Rhee bad set midnight as a deadline for the teams to get out but at the last minute he announced an Indefinite postponement. During violence which flared for a week preceding the deadline, one South Korean was killed, and about 100 Koreans and 44 U. 9. soldiers were injured. The clashes occurred at compounds housing the truce teams, also made up of Swiss and Swedes. EFFORT FLKDGKD Rhee said that Walter Robertson, assistant U, S. secretary of atate, told You Chan Yang, Korean am bassador - to Washington, that thea U. S. government "will make ef forts soon,f to seek peaceful remov al of tlis Neutral Nations Super ' visorjr Commission from Korea, Rhee said the assurance came in a letter addressed to bun and turned over to Yang. Observers who know Rhee's ways said he apparently Just needed a diplomatic excuse for ending the crisis. . Actually the commitment Rhee said was obtained from Rob ertson was no different from one given Rhee a year ago by U.. 8, Secrctavy of Stale John Poster Dulles, after similar demonstra tions. ' Saturday. U. S. soldiers guarding Ihe truce team compound on Wol ml Island 111 Inchon Harbor broke up with tear gas a rush of 150 South Koreans down causeway toward the compound gates. A U.S. patrol boat turned back 13 boats carrying 400 more Koreans to tne island.
