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.

REVISED PLANS FOR POWER DEVELOPMENT AND WATER STORAGE in the
Upper Klamath Basin are shown on the above map. 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. The additional storage would be
provided by pumping water out of Klamath lake in heavy run-off seasons into
Aspen and Round lakes end returning the water to Klamath lake as needed.
Irish Republicans Raid
British Barracks, Flee

READING. England iP A i count for all the stolen ammuni-
heavily armed band from the out
lawed Irish republican army (IRA
executed a daring raid Saturday
on a military arms depot only 40
miles from the heart of London. 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. Some of
the raiders believed to number
about 20 were Stressed in British

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."
The IRA is an underground or

That purpose was to have the

During violence which flared for
a week preceding the deadline, one
