Made the trip over the Willam ette pass and found that way clear of snow and Ice on the road but with a husky roadside bank of the while atuff built up. There are some real spring bust ers in the stretch between the Diamond Lake Junction and Odell Lake, too. You have to watch your step and drive with a light toe on the throttle. Highway crewa on the Job with trucks full of sand trying to fill in the worst ones, but there Just isn't much you can do about easing the bump of a chuck hole without a resurfacing Job. It Is no strain now to make good time to Portland without driving too fast or taking any chances. The Salem bypass saves you much time and the recently opened, al though not yet completed. Wilson ville cutoff Into Portland really whistles you through in a hurry from Albany. Bypasses are probably the greatest time savers of all and do a good deal to raise my opinion of the towns ao handled. I Just can't harbor a friendly feeling for a town that forces me to dawdle along through Its busy down town aection when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere else. Which reminds me that Oregon's new highway map la on the streets now, showing all the new routes, distances, highway designations and the rest of It. A good Job. The map makers have been kept pretty busy lately Just keeping up with new construction. Not to mention the poor driver. Trying to get out to see some friends In Portland we twice ran afoul of the new Banfleld Free way. The old familiar routes are pretty well gone now and you have to probe around, trying flrat this street and then that If you are to (et across the big cut. It's quite a piece of work but aure confusing to us hicks from the desert. That plus the fact that Portland seems to keep busy In thoso periods between my visits In putting up new no-left-turn signs, changing the direction on one way streets and what not. Or maybe my memory Is slip-iping. According to this new map Klamath Falls Is only 287 miles from Portland, quite a cut from the daya when It was over the 300 mark by quite a margin. It also riirnisnes us with the Information that It Is 3093 miles from Portland to New York City. By KEN McLEOD Present day literature la filled with stories of displaced people, fugitives from another mode of life, perhapa one Is quite apt 10 forget that thla problem la ages old and so may think It to be a modern one, but the problem of displaced people Is as old as the history of man himself. In these United Slates wc have had our own displayed people and the story of the Delaware Indian Is one of the most prominent. We know a great deal about the Delaware from various pages ol history though no ethnologist has written a treatlae about them. Enough of their history la known to wtiie a kind of epic, 11 a literary genius cared to try It. Driven for 150 years before the expanding fron Her of Ihe white man Ihe Dela ware waa always on retreat find ing no land he could call his own. We find the Delaware at the helsht of their uower and aloiv mi. der the leadership of the famous cniei lammany on the opening scene ol white man'a conouest of the New World occupying the Dela ware Valley and adjacent terrllory lo the north.

The Deln ware were essentially a people of peace but the expanding iionlirr of the white man forced the Dela ware to become subjects at ihir enemy the Iroquois about 1120. Among Hie arrogant Iroquois, how ever, the Delaware were held in acorn and called "old women, " "wearers of skirts," etc. The hu miliation ol ihe Delaware was greater because ol their former proud status. The whiles wished them out o their tradlilonal home, land and, si 111 fearing the Iroquois, the D.-lawme befan lo drift toward the srttijip sun.

Their exist ence there wa3 anything but hap py, so In 1887 they went to Okla homa, where some of them Joined the Cherokee Confederacy, the re mainder moving in with the Cad do. That la the story of the great relreal of the Delaware from the advancing Homier ol the while man. There is nothing quite like it la Indian history, except Ihe story of the Algonkin Shawnee who accompanied them from Ohio. Once the Delaware left their lands In the cast, they could establish no valid claim anywhere. In a way they were shielded by their aggres sive friends the Shawnee, other wise their end might have been speedy. In New Jersey and east ern Pennsylvania they numbered about 10. 000, but their troubles with the whites and Iroquois greally weakened them, and each west ward shllt to a new home took a heavy toll In disease and discour agement. So that finally they were less than one alxth their former strength. Henri AUm-ks By RELMAN MORIN (For HAL BOYLE I NEW YORK I President Eisenhower's Illness haa had aome Interesting and far-reaching ef fects on the whole story of heart trouble In the United States. It Is as though a curtain had been pulled, letting In a lot of light. This thought struck me forcibly during some recent political pulse taking along the Atlantic Sea board. I talked with politicians and corporation heads, but most with plain John Smith, the voter, and his wife. The question of Ihe President's physical condition nat urally figured In most of these conversations. Several things emerged. People now have a very good Idea of exactly what happens In a "heart attack." Newspapers published an Im mense amount of basic Informa tion and explanation, along with charts and diagrams, after the president was stricken. In short, the ABC s ot this disability are oretty well known now whereas, before, it was a mysterious and terrifying subject to most of us. Mbo. business executives dis covered that they have more car diac cases In their organization than they reallaed, "I waa aur prised about some In this office," said a New York business leader. "I never would have suspected them." Still another result seems t have been that people who had heart attacks have lost aome shy ness about discussing the prob lem. I met several who, In discussing the coming election, quietly volun teered the Information that they had been through the same ex perience as Elsenhower, il didn't mention the lact mat x nave, too, I Incidentally, three out of four said they would vote for him, al though one man said he thought the President was "foolish" to un dertake a second term. Another slorv seems funny now to the man who lived through It. He said thai, for years, he had pains In his chest and an occas ional flutter, and was convinced he had heart trouble. He told no body, and said he couldn't bring himself to see his doctor and get the verdict. Instead, he lived in spasms of dread, Then the Presi dent's case steeled him lo have an examination. It showed a spinal dislocation. All he needed, he said, was a bulll-up shoe: Unquestionably, some 'of the panic and terror aboul heart dis ease has been dispelled simply by Ihe publicity Ihe President's si tack brought lo It. People know that thousands of others have had attacks, survived them, and gone on to live happy and useful lives. They know the "csrdlac" Is not an Invalid. Statistics in the United States are sometimes called "alarming." But the odds ate still heavily In your favor that you won't have an attack, one corporation, which had had a number of cases in a given year, discovered they amounted lo exactly 1 out of every 100 em ployes.

Howard newspapers com- piainen he was running "like a dry creek." Perh-pi Adlai Stevenson will be aliened the aame way If that's possible for him by the clubbing he Just took from Sen. Files Ke - tauver In the presidential ortmarv in Minnesota. After reflecting on this sad iit-w.-.. oii-vm-on saio he win now "work harder" for the Democratic1 nomination nut niav have been an trknowledgement he though' am naa uia .Minnesota VOtt In nil1 pocket and waa Just breezing in bis campaign there. He's been no ball of fire ao far. Perhaps it isn't In hla nature to be. The alow-talking Kefauver has edge on him in that de partment: be doesn't give off sparks either. up to now Stevenson has looked like a rerun of himself in 1952: dignified, scholarly and mild, even milder than in 1953 when Eisen hower beat him. Kefauver has a touch of the home town boy about him. even homespun. Whether these personality dif ferences had any significance in the Minnesota voting cannot be said now. Nor can it be said the difference In their tactics was significant. Where there was almost an ele gance about Stevenson, whisking around Minnesota in search of votes, the more casual Kefauver not only loped around shaking hands but looking fjr hands to shake. It Is Just as possible Stevenson has worn out his welcome as a presidential candidate and voters are getting tired of hla genteel ap proach to domestic and worm is sues. Both men on Nov. II last year came out for "moderation" m this year's presidential campaign and they've stuck to that pretty much ever since, with Stevenson even more "moderate'' than Kefauver. On most subjects they talked like twins against the Elsenhower administration: In farming Minnesota they hit the loss of farm income wherever they went, warned of dangers overseas, criticized lack of prog ress on federal aid to education, accused the administration of be ing for big business, attacked what they called "giveaway" of natural resources, worried that the Rural Electrification Adminis tration was being undercut, and discussed the ability of a heart attack victim like Elsenhower to handle the presidency. But Kefauver took harder aim at farmers and organtted labor and outbid Stevenson for both, While Stevenson talked of amend' ing the Taft-Hartley Labor Act, Kefauver advocated its outrigh' repeal. Stevenson sald.he was for M per cent of parity support of farm prices but Kefauver proposed 100 per cent support for family-sized farms and SO per cent for the big ones. An appeal for sympathy or a'. least an appeal for fair play was Implicit In some of sefauvers campaign. He complained about the Minnesota political leaders' aupport of Stevenson. - The Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Stale central Coni' mlttee had endorsed Stevenson. Kefauver accused party leaders of trying to keep him out of the pri mary altogether. Struggle Seen By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK H With one great labor-management struggle over today, another one potentially even greater la beginning to take shape. Wesllnghouse workers are go ing back to work. And Westing house salesmen are going out In search of business to help recoup some of the loss. But in the basic sletl Industry both management and labor are warming up vocally and starting to woo public opinion for the con tract negotlatona that will begin hortly. Management sees further wage Increases as Inflationary for the economy as a whole. The union thinks the wage scale can be raised and the'steel companies (till mate money. It's tor Wesllnghouse and the electrical workers union to evalu ate how much was gained or lost by the bitter 156-day strike. The company reports It operated at a loss In the fourth quarter of last year, and Ihe loss doubtless was grealer In the first quarter of this year. Products tl might have shipped but didn't are estimated to total nearly 300 million dollars in bill ing value. Wages it could have paid but didn't are estimated to total 100 million dollars. Evaluating orders It might hare got but didn't Is harder. And it will be some time yet before it can be told how successful the company will be in its sales cam paign to recapture and widen markets for Its products.

McCANN United Press staff Correspondent Prime Minister Jtwaharlal Neh- iru haa made It clear that no tin nrovemant In relatione between i the United Statea and India can be hoped for In the immediate future Secretary of State John Foiier Dulles cornered wim Nenni lor Ileum during hit laur of Asia. inert was cnnsmaraaie orrv that Dulles might be able to soften Nehru's hostility to American for eign policy. But it now appears that Nehru gave Dulles a lecture on this country's shortcomings. Nehru disclosed in a speech to hia Parliament Tuesday that he took United Statea policy apart, point by point, and expressed his disapproval of it insofar as Asia la concerned. A few hours after the news about Nehru's speech arrived, it was announced In Washington that he would visit President Eisen hower In July. What can be accomplished by this meeting it is now hard to foresee. Undoubtedly, on the surface, It will be friendly. But the atmos phere probably will be chilly enough to offset any coincident Waahlngton heat wave. Dulles went to New Delhi, Neh ru's capital, after attending the meeting of the Southeast San Treaty Organization countries in Karachi, Pakistan. Dulles said on his arrival: "Basically, there la far more of agreement than disagreement be tween our two countries. We do have aome differences. But the differences are characteristic of free people. I hope my own talks here will considerable reduce these minor points of disagree ment." It appears now, however, aa If the visit was a conspicuous fail ure. It is Indicated that the points of disagreement were major, nol minor, and that the Dulles-Nehru talks just emphasized them. Plant Site Chlloquln, Ore. (To the Editor) There have been several articles in your paper regarding the pro posed Johns Manvllle softboard plant. In each article the geo graphic location ot the site was stated as '28 miles north of Klam ath Falls." Do you realize that a lhort three miles upstream from the proposed site there happens to be a thriving community named Chlloquln? It is definitely obvious to me that the mere mention of Chlloquln In relation to the loca tion of the plant would greatly fa cllltate describing the site. I trust mat this discrepancy is nothing more than a mere oversight. incidentally, the proposed site is located 34 miles aorth ot Klamath Falls. A Chlloquln Booster, Alfeo E. Mlnato (Eds. Note: Thanks to Mr. Ml nato for the correction aa to dis tance. Any oversight on mention ing the town of Chlloquln waa not deliberate, we merely used the Williamson River bridge as a more central landmark. This paper, and I'm aure the people of the Klam ath Basin, certainly hope that Chll oquin will reap many benefits from the proposed plant.) Progress Kcno, Ore. (To the Editor) Soon the water of Klamath Falls will contain sodium fluoride. With all the pros-cons on fluoridation, we must admit It is progress. The first year the parents should see that their children drink at least five or six glasses of water to really receive any resulti. Aa to the poison effects of fluor ides. We are daily consuming twice to three times more poison In the food we eat vegetables, flour, etc than we could possibly receive in our drinking water.

Looks like a few trying to rail road this issue in Klamath Fall We should have a chance to vole for or against.
