The Loquacious Portable Editor's Nate Roving corres pondents of The Associated Press are currently on assignment in three important areas France Algeria, the Middle East and La tin America. Here are their find ings on how those areas view the United States today. ALOHAS (AP) - Gen. de Gaulle's return to power and the favorable American reaction to it, as reported here, appear to have improved French feeling toward the United States. Traditional French politeness creates a surface impression of friendliness. Underneath, however, is a jagged edge of criticism. Frenchmen believe, or say they believe, that America's business interests are trying to move in the French position in North Africa. And that the United States is assisting Arab nationalist move ments all the way from Casablan ca to the Suez Canal. You did this," and "You did that," the Frenchman will say to an American today. He then goes back to American intervention in the British-French attack on Suez and Egypt two years ago. He is especially bitter aooui that. He then catalogues a list of in cidents to support his contention Editor's Note: Waltraud Eriks- dun, the former Waltraud Dietsche, is on her way to Europe to join her husband. Her impression of the trip and life in Europe today is one of a series. By Waltraud eriksdun . 'I met this girl on the same bus to Reno, same driver," the soldier beside me was saying. "And now I'm ready to settle down and raise cattle and kids. "The second day of my furlough. when she was doing the dishes. I asked her to be my wife." his unabashed, drawling voice went on and on. 'And that night at the movies I held her hand. But there was an electric spark, and all the peo ple looked at us. So I pulled my hand away. I tried again, but, the dickens, there was another spark. But there wasn't any spark me third lime. Two out of three, but never after that." He went on to discuss numer ous meals, three nieces, his CO, his IQ, and the time he fell asleep in a telephone booth. He did not spare a detail. 'I hope we see some lilacs." he continued. "Lilacs are my fa vorite flower. Lilacs and roses.' Then, apropos: "Penny for your tnougnts. I was relieved Vhen, after sup per in Alturas, he continued his odyssey beside a redhead in pedal pushers. I was just counting the telephone poles which undulated across the deserts of sagebrush and juniper when a Reno television prodigy with ringlets started to sell make-believe photos for dimes. "Why don't you take a picture of that dear little calf, sweet heart?" the mother asked. "I can't cause." "Cause why?" , , "Cause it can't pay me! That's why!" All this was accompanied by a most insipid laughter, so that we could not hear the driver's expla nation as, in the middle of no where, the bus groaned to a stop. Stuff a towel down that little girls throat," somebody said. We crawled along in first gear for a while, and the child sang un auzanna. f inally we ha ted at lermo, now shrouded in pur ple, 150 miles from Reno, popula tion 26. The driver called for another bus, and the rest of us poured into the general store and post office to buy up everything except Buck's leed and grain calendar. Five ladies en route to a Phoe nix convention discovered a back room bar, where a juke box was playing that catching hillbilly bal lad called Fraulein. A bearded Norwegian octogenarian in a cor ner told of ranching in these parts "wunce." And, as the lacrimose heads of decapitated deer looked on, one of the passengers, a grand mother, started to dance. It was past midnight, and. be yond the outhouse, only the moon continued its sentimental journey When the bus finally arrived, we were in a state of semi-conscious ness. For hours it rocked us back and forth, but somewhere in its depths I could still hear that sol dier droning away: "Then I fell asleep in the telephone booth. Those are experiences you remember. I had missed the connection to my transcontinental train. We were six hours late when, at a.m., we hit Reno, "The Biggest Little uity in the World." FRIEND OR FOE? 'V!Yn are yne doing abort Blhrht?

Jail Getting Paint Job Klamath County Jail here is un dergoing a paint job inside, with floors getting a new coat of red, the walls light green and bars an appropriate grey. Prisoners are currently housed on the second floor while painting is being done on the first and third. Later, they'll be transferred to the first and third while the second is painted, Sheriff Murray Brmon said. Britton said the work, expected to be completed by mid-June, will cost only about S30O. That s because, he said, we re fortunate in having three very fine painters who are serving long enough terms to finish the job. The painter heading the project is a man with 34 years experience. If the work were let out to pri vate contractors, Britton estimates it would cost some $1,800 to $2,000, The third floor, a recent addi tion put on for a cost of $107,000, will officially be put into opera tion when painting is completed. Its front portion will be used ex clusively for women prisoners. Klamath Falls Men Enlist In Navy Two Klamath Falls men have enlisted in the U.S. Navy, Chief John T. Howard of the local Navy recruiting office announces. The re cruits are Jack LeRoy Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard E. Smith, 4318 Winter Avenue, and James Donald Veatch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald P. Veatch, Route 3, Box 57. These young men were sworn in this week at Portland, and are now at the Naval Recruit Train ing Center, San Diego. Local Firm Puts ' Radios In Shops The Don Potter Machinery Com pany has installed three mobile units with farm to shop radio communications so that customers thoughout the Basin can be more efficiently served. Potter explains that the firm found the installation necessary as a means of better and less expen sively serving the needs of Klam ath Basin farmers and ranchers. "We can now give better service faster." he said. The efficiency of the firm is fur ther expanded by the recent addi tion of a tilt bed truck and load ing winch. With the equipment one man can quickly load on any time of heavy equipment and rush it to its destination. that the United States government is quietly working against him. He begins with the French bombing of .the Tunisian border town of Sakiet Sidi Youssef last Feb. I. followed by severe Ameri can newspaper reaction. You did not understand that this was a sanctuary for rebels who were killing our men In Al geria, the trench say. Before that U.S. shipments of arms to Tunisia aroused French feelings. So did the offer of "sood offices" a week after the bomb-; ing. Over all. Uncle Sam will find it hard to win in North Africa. If there is American suDDort for the national aspirations of the Arabs, then French hostility will grow. If support for Arab aspirations for independence isn't given, So viet propaganda can trumpet "col onialism" and strike with heavv effect in the hearts of millions in North Africa. DAMASCUS (AP) The U. S. stock remains low among the lit erate population of the Arab East. But it is still not damaged beyond repair. Anti-American sentiment among nationalists even here in Syria is not so pronounced as six months ago at the height of the Turkish Syrian crisis. The door remains at least slightly ajar. Mideast Arabs are generally cordial toward individual Ameri cans. The nationalists are quar reling with the U.S. government. What happens regarding good will lo the United States depends largely upon the United States itself. Even ardent nationalists seem to feel uneasy about too close in volvement with any great bloc. There is a feeling that the United States is obsessed with the idea that the policy of Arab govern ments is anti-American unless it is totally in line with Washington ideas. This Is the thing resented most. Nationalists most literate Arabs are nationalists still feel there is room for degrees of neu tralism in this part of the world. J hey point out Lebanon as a prime example. Basically, that sit uation is a domestic crisis con fused by outside pressure but the Lebanese remain fundamentally pro - American. Some argue that U.S. insistence upon total commit ment lo Washington cold-war poli cies could drive many normally pro-American people into anti American attitudes. ' In an area like Saudi Arabia it can be said the sentiment is not so much anti-American as it is bound up with distance aspirations for some sort of Arab unity The over - all Mideast picture seems to indicate that a sympa thelic gesture toward certain aims of Arab nationalism, coupled with an uncompromising statement of American policy, might go far to ward easing Arab annoyance and disillusionment with the United States. they hold a lot of gripes -against the united Mates In general. me boulh American feels that he has been taken too much for granted as a friend to the point where he is being left out. Some will tell you traditional friendship has slipped into hatred and contempt. I heir reasons may differ, but the result is the same. Venezuelans are miffed because the U.S. government has limited the amount of oil they can sell to the United States. Coffee-growing Colombia is an gry because the United States is buying coffee from Africa. Peru and Chile comnlain that Ihey can't sell all they want of their minerals on U.S. markets. In Uruguay. Ecuador. Arcen tina and Paraguay, they say U.S trade barriers have hurt their economies. Additionally, South Americans can't understand why the United States, supports and deals with Latin dictators and they ask why the United Slates sends billions in aid across the Atlantic and Pa cific but pinches pennies, as they see it, with Latin America. South American officials claim V. S. policies are driving their countries to .the Communists. The officials recognize the necessity of siding with the United States on international affairs. But they warn this does not prevent them from looking for closer contacts with the Soviet Union and her sat ellitcs, particularly when the United States won't buy their sur pluses and the Soviet bloc will, They warn, too, that one day the United States may find the Communists have infiltrated into places of power.
