They are the couple Los. Tesoros in Alamos, tionora, Mexico where my wile and I pent the pleasantest two weclcs of our lives. It's fun to have people like that drop In. 'fhey are a fascinating couple to be around; alert, widely traveled, both with extensive edu cational backgrounds and both with that inquiring curiosity that leads them to strange placer and experiences far beyond the ken of the ordinary little money grubbers. When you sit ana listen to them speak casually of tiring of a cruise ship climbing off in South Ameri ca and then going out and bum ming a series of rides which took them by car, foot and native cart over the peaks of the Andes along footpaths, woodcutters' trails and making their own way It sort of makes one wish he had a more ad venturesome nature himself. I might also add that Al begins to notice the altitude at around bOOO feet, so Imagine what he must have gone through at better than 17,000. Darley, who claims Swiss mountain blood, said she did fine, but told the story of Al looking at her and remarking "You and your Swiss blood. If It s so good what's It doing coming out your nose?" Seems that even Darley who Is a little wisp of a thing in compari son to Al's considerable bulk had succumbed, unknowingly, to the high places and sprung a nose bleed without knowing It. , Anyway to get back to the theme of this here now space illler, they have settled down, more or less,! row and run what Is probably the bnest hotel In the Western Hem isphere If one is looking for com fort, good food, good companion ship and leisure. They have taken one of the old buildings of Alamos, an abandoned gold and sliver mtn- l'lng center of a century or two ago, rebuilt it into a small out com' fortable hotel. Casa describes it better, or Inn. I've spoken of It be fore in these columns. Enthusias tically. Lying only 450 miles south of the line it is easily accessible over good road3 or by air to Nava Joa and thence by taxi absurd ly cheap in Mexico. This hostelry Is open only six months uf thr. year, from mid-October until along In April some time. In the other half of the year the Cordons loaf when they aren't writ ing a book (they are the authors of the best selling Our Son Pablo), turning out educational films, do ing film scripts or, as was the case this year, writing a cook book. It, was reully the cook book that I was thinking about when 1 start ed ihls column. It is called Our Treasure House (the name of the hotel moans treasure house) and is the type of cook book that a real cook will enjoy. It Is not lor ama teurs.

And In case you really want it, let me know. I happen to be the man In charge for the State of Jef ferson. Incidentally, we all put out for the second fishing trip of the year and tried Cold Lake, Which was reported as reliable.

' 1 a 1 JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON If) Under the new code of military conduct the armed forces keep a stiff grip on a club to hold over the head of any captured American who col laborates with the enemy or hurts his fellow prisoners. This new code, proclaimed yes leroay oy president Eisenhower, was put together by a committer of government officials and top retired omcers. After the spectacle of some American prisoners of war In Ko rea collaborating with the enemy sr mistreating their fellow prison ers, Secretary of Defense Wilson created the, committee to produce a guide for future FOW conduct. The code, issued yesterday, rec ognizes that prisoners have a breaking point under mistreatment or torture, as explained In point No, S, the most Important of the six-point code: "When questioned, should I be come prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name. rank, service number and date of birth. 1 will evade answering further questions to ine utmost oi my ability." j But this cannot be Inter) reted aa a go-abend for a prisoner to help the enemy in any way for the explanation attached to point No. S aavs such help Is forbiddtn. This Is the language: "Oral or written confessions Irue or false, questionnaires, per sonal history statements, propa ganda recordings or broadcasts, appeals to other prisoners ot war. signatures to peace or surrender appeals, sell-criticisms or any oltv er oral or written communications on behalf of the enemy or harm, ful to the United States . , . oi other prisoners are forbidden." This seems to be a clear warn ins to any serviceman taken oris. oner that, while it Is understood he may crack, he will still be held responsible for whatever he does and the armed services will de cide what to do about it. The committee made It clear It nttemnted to hit a middle road between the extreme points o( view: (1) don't tell the enemy anything, and (3) tell him anvthlna In order to avoid punishment. But the language of the exDlana- tlon to point No. S seems plainly to say that the armed forces will suit themselves on how they deal with a returned American prisoner of war who collaborated with the enemy In any way. The report seems to hint but this has to be considered carefully a man will not be court-martialed for disobeying oolnt No. 5 If he was badly mistreated. Reviewing the number of men court-martialed for dealing with Ihe Red Chinese while In their hands, the report says: "No case was brought tor court-martial In which there was evidence of duress, brainwashing or any other type oi coercion. The phrase "In which there was evidence" Is the key one there The armed forces will decide on what "was evidence" of brain washing or duress. The "Walton Soil Plan" adopted, at a lower price.

It w ill be hung In the Nether lands Parliament. his opinion possessed three ele' ments lor solution. Tne problem of surplus or shortage oi food and fiber The relationship between tho:e persons who are making a livelihood on farms in competition with or at least In direct relation ship with tho-je people who are making a livelihood in other ways And third, the problem of wast ing of lund, a certain despoliation ol soil fertility, a certain lack of good conservation practices. Davidson was of tne opinion "the chief need is to enter Into some sort of arrangement whereby our sou can be conserved, our land fertility can be banked and held. The second most important rela tionship Is the land-labor relation ship. And third, the question of price and surplus." The Land Use Committee of the Izaak Walton League after consid eration of these various elements developed a plan and George L. Hoekenyos, chairman of the com mittee explained this "Walton" plan to the convention. Mr. Hoek enyos entered upon the problem In the following tashion: "Last night I went to bed early Because I knew I nad lo get up early this morning, to be here. The children left the TV or radio on and there cams flouting up the stairs, a certain popular song, 'Count Your Blessings.' One phrase of it is, "Count your bless ings Instead of sheep." I think it Is appropriate that any discussion of the farm problem start with an appreciation of our agricultural blessings. "The first blesslno- we have In this country in agriculture is still an abundance of good land re sources. In fact, we have enough land resources that If they are properly taken care of and If our technological developments in ag riculture continue as they have in tne past so years none of us hero need never to fear going hungry ana i aouot u anybody now living in the United States need to lear hunger. "The second is this: Our agri cultural technology has gone lat in developing the productivity of each farmer that it leaves a great many people lo develop other pro ducts and other services. Our standard of living is the envy of the world. The best illustration ot that standard is the fact that It takes so few neoDle to feed ns and we have so many left to per form other services and to de velop new products. "Now If we consider those two blessings, the agricultural problem becoinea one of adjustment to this downward trend since it Is taking fewer farmers every year. It is estimated that three quarters of a million farmers will leave larms this year. But that creates a prob lem for those men because they must adjust to another way of life. It is not as simple as going from one factory to another factory to work or changing Jobs In the cltv because farming Is something more than a way of making a liv ing. Farming is a way of living and It Is not always easy to make the adjustment to another wav of living. "The basis of the lr.aak Walton League proposal can be expressed In one sentence; "The Congress should direct the secretary of agriculture to lease for cash and place In a conserva tion reserve sufficient cultivated acreage to bring production Into line with current demand. "This proposal is based upon two well accepted facts. The lirst la that we are producing a greater total of food and fiber than can be sold at rewarding prices.

In other words, we are using more land than we need for the time being and much oi tnat land Is deteriorating. "The public has an Interest in this proposal from two points ot view. Public funds are being used to support prices of fafin products .it a point higher than that by which they would be supported by current demand. This tends to stimulate production and this to aggravate the problem of main taining the needed balance. Thus money spent for direct price sup ports tends to make the problem worse in the long run. On the other hand. mor.ey spent for re ducing acreage would lower pro duction. at the same time support the total farm economy by the direct effect of cash rental pay ments. The extent of the support of farm income would depend di rectly on the cash rental paid for acreage removed from production and placed in the conservation re serve. "Now there Is one term in farm economy and farm policy discus sion that we have all heard a lot and yet half the people don't know what It means. That Is parity pric es. Parity is a price based on a favorable ratio between what the larmer sells and what he buys, and the original base line was the price line of the years 1910 to 1014. At that time farmers had a pretty good ratio between what they nao to sell, so that ratio is called the parity ratio and is used for de termining parity prices." kuda. whese death in Peipmi October 1953 was announced July 29.

Telling The Editor "DEADLY" SNAKE I would like to correct the bit of unnatural history that appears in the caption under the pii-.iure In yesterday's paper showing two girls shuddering at holding up a "dead ly" cor.il snak- that has strayed awny from the tropical regions. Here again is. a serious mistake if identity that confronts this par ticular ; pedes which is Lampropel tli multicincta. the Coral King Snake, or mountain King Snake which is the most colorful snake in the Pacific States. Its colors are rings of red, white or yellowish, and black, beginning at the neck and continuing to the tail. This gentle and magnificently colored snake, rarely pugnacious, is particularly harmless, friendly, and easily handled: but unfortu nately Its coloration resembles that of two poisonous snakes of the family Elapldae, the Coral Snake of southeastern United States and '.he Ariiona Coral Snake of west ern Arizona. There are important differences, however; On the Coral King Snake, the harmless specir3 pictured in the poper, the red bonds are bor dered on each side bv black. On the poisonous corul Snake, the red Is bordered by yellow. Hie Coral X'ng Sn.,Ve of the picture occurs throughout Califor nia and south into Lower California and north Into Washington mid Ore gon; the true Coral Siuko of the poisonous species does not occur in California.
