In The-
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Tragic note In the news:
Egyptians are giving thousands
of dollars voluntarily to buy arms
and equipment for Egypt's army.
A delegation of transport work
ers from Alexandria today handed
Premier Nasser a check for 3700
Egyptian pounds (17749) repre
senting workers' wages for one
day.
Another worker sent $1.50, sug
gesting it be used to buy soft drinks
(or the crew of the first ship
bringing arms to Egypt.
Why is that tragic? '
The answer Is tragically simple,
These poor devils of Egyptians
(SO per cent of whom are poverty
stricken beyond American capacl'
ty for belief) are digging Into their
pockets to buy guns and ammuni'
, tion that may be used to help
start another war in the explosive
Middle East. If another war gets
started in the Middle East, it
could spread into another world
war.
They'd FAR BETTER be put
ting their money into a United
Fund car-lgn as we're get
ting reads ' j do here in the Klam
ath country.
Here in the Klamath country
we'll spend our money for Buch
things as CHARACTER BUILD
ING for our youth, the Red Cross,
which is- the ever-present mother
in time of dire need, into care of
needy and unfortunate children,
into health agencies, such as can
cer, and heart disease research.
And so on.
In Egypt, they're going to put
their money (some of it raised
under a system approximating our
payroll deduction plan) into OUNS
for another war.
If that isn't tragic, there is so
such thing as tragedy.
One more word:
It is this willingness to put our
money into funds (such as the
United Fund) to make our com
munities better places to live in
that makes America AMERICA.
It is willingness to put money
Into guns, when people are starv
ing on every side with nobody
paying much attention, because
want and misery are accepted as
a part of life as it is lived there
that makes Egypt EGYPT,
Economic note in the news:
The U.S. department of com
merce reports today that publicly
disposed cash dividend payments
made by U.S. corporations in the
first eight months of this year
amounted ' to five and a , half
BILLION dollars.
It adds:
This was a gain of 7'-i per cent
over the first eight months of .last
year. ;
. -. jc--"s- --
That raises an interesting ques
tion:
WHO OWNS AMERICA'S COR
PORATIONS? That question can't be EXACT
LY answered because there are
thousands of little corporations
whose stock ownership isn't listed
in existing records that are avail
able. But the Brookings Institution es
timates that the total of Individual
share owners of publicly owned
corporations In this country is
now about 7.500,000. In an ex
haustive study made In 1952 it
was able to track down a total of
6.490.000 persons who own shares
In America's better known cor
porations. It separated them into family
Income groups, with this result:
Under J500O Income, 2,050,000
people.
Five thousand dollars to 10,
000 income, 2,880,000 people.
Ten thousand dollars a year and
over 1,560,000 people.
This Is the point:
America's corporations are no
longer owned by a few big shots.
They are owned by MILLIONS of
Americans of all kinds.
This 5'j billion dollar dividend
Income In the first eight months
'of this year went Into the pockets
of MILLIONS of Americans who
had been thrifty enough to put
their savings Into the stock of
American corporations.
Circle Plant
To Stay Open
NEW CASTLE, Ind. W The
Perfect Circle Co, said in a public
meeting Thursday it has no lnten
t'on of keeping Its riot-beset foun
div here closed. '
"We are Just not in a position to
close that plant." company attor
ney Clyde Hoffman told Mayor
Paul F. McCormack at an emer
gency conference between Perfect
Circle and representatives of the
ClO-United Auto Workers.
The union retorted Immediately
that It could not guarantee against
a repetition of Wednesday's riot
ing If the plant reopens.
Eight persons were shot Wednes
day as 5.000 union sympathisers
advanced on 100 nonstrlkers barri
caded in the three-story red brick
foundry.
Mayer McCormack opened the
first union-management meeting In
more than a month with a quota
tion from the Bible. The chief ex
ecutive of this city of 18,000 read
from 1st Romans, 2nd chapter,
which begins:
, "Therefore you have no excuse,
oh man. whoever you are, when
you Judge another . . ."
Hoffiftan said the company has
been willing at all times since the
strike began July 25 to negotiate
wages, union shop and other Issues
with the union but that the UAW

Rebels Raise
White Flags
In Morocco
RABAT, French Morocco Wl
While flags went up Thursday
over small villages in the mid
Atlas mountains and alone the
Spanish Moroccan frontier, indi
cating that some rebel tribesmen
in the zone of the latest uprising J
are ready to cad it quits. " i
French officers on the spot were :
noi optimistic tnat an trouble was
ending. Fighting still continued at
Tizi Ouzli, in eastern French Mo
rocco, near the frontier ot tho
Spanish zone.
Although the military situation
seemed to be getting slightly bel
ter, the political situation worsen
ed, both in Morocco and in France.
FAURE FIRES
In Paris. Premier Faure fired
four Gaullist Critics of his North
African policy, including Defense
Minister Pierre Koenig. There was
speculation whether the Cabinet
could survive the break.
Troops from Boured and Tlzi
Ouzli fought through ambushes and
past mountain marksmen yester
day and finally linked up with
Moroccan cavalry from Aknoul.
They beat off a series of mass
attacks that began Saturday
against the triangle of outposts
along the border between French
and Spanish Morocco.
STILL MENACED
But the French were still men
aced by the rebels holding posi
tions in the surrounding moun
tains. Both sides apparently had
been reinforced for a hard fight
in the area where Abd el Kriin,
the veteran warrior, scored suc
cesses ir. the Riff war more than
80 years ago.
Taza, a city of 29,000 45 miles
souin oi tne border, was crowded
with hundreds of refugees from
isolated outposts in the area.
Most were women and children.
and some were from villages to
the soutn and west, indicating the
French feared the fighting would
spread to heretofore peaceful
areas.
Peron Labor
BUENOS , AIRES l.fl The way
was opened today for smashing
Peronlsta rule of the giant Gen
eral Confederation of Labor (CUT)
in Argentina.
The CGT bosses, who ran the
six-mllllon-member labor organiza
tion as the powerful right arm of
ousted dictator Juan D. Peron.
resigned last night. The provisional
government announced new elec
tions would be held in every union
within four months, supervised by
the Labor Ministry.
Among the labor chiefs who quit
was the secretary general. Hector
Hugo di Pietro. who backed Peron
in his feud with the Roman Cath
olic Church.
As a result of the shakeup, it
was reported the CGT-operated
newspaper La Prensa may be
taken over by a federal Interven-
tor. La Prensa, once Argentina's
biggest Independent newspaper,
was handed over to the labor or
ganization during Peron's regime.
The government's move on the
CGT followed a one-day strike by
15.000 meat packers In four plants
here, in Rosario and in La Plata.
