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."

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.
