J1S.0O I 60 $ ISO 112.00 The Viking By FLOYD L. WYNNE An outstanding accomplishment with a local flavor almost slipped by unnoticed in Klamath Falls recently. As far as I'm concerned, it would have had I not received a telephone call the other day that put me on the track of an in teresting story. The motion picture, "The Vik ings" has been playing the past week at the Esquire here in Klam ath Falls, but I understand that yesterday was the last day for it. However, come to find out, the movie was adapted from a novel called "The Viking." and written by Edison Marshall in 1951. Now, comes the local angle, and It has several facets to it. In the first place, Edison Mar shall was city editor of this news paper back in 1MB. He led that post to enter World War I. The newspaper was then called "The Republican." to the best of my in formation, and was edited by W. 0. Smith. Edison Marshall at that time was only about 24 and had at tended college at the University of Oregon, and also worked for the Register Guard at Eugene. After the war he didn't return to the newspaper world, we under stand, but instead went directly Into creative writing. He had al ready sold some stories when he was city editor here. He has turned out a number of hooks and has become almost book-a-year man. Among the many books he has written is "Heart of a Hunter" which deals with his experiences in this area and Mod- ford, recounting some of his hunt lng adventures. But this is not I lie only local angle to this story. Marshall is the brother of Klamath's own Lucille O'Neill, lll.V) Portland, one of our foremost educators and prominent persons. Quizzed about her brother, Lu cille pointed out that Edison had visited Klamath Falls only last summer. She also revealed where Mar shall got his writing background "Our lamer, Lucille said, was edilor of a daily in Indiana, in Rensselaer, Indiana." "I don't know what Edison got for the movie rights to his book 'The Viking.' " Lucille admitted, "he never did tell me." Asked why she didn't pick up a newspaper career, she commented, "I'm too lazy to write, I'd rather talk." At any rale, hats off to another former Klamathile who has cer tainly indelibly etched his name In the annals of our country's literary efforts, Edison Marshall. Wonder if any of that literary anility rubs off on the nlfice of city editor. Come In think of it I've had an idea for a book lor a long time. . . . favors. But he can also be a long hater if he feels his friendship is imposed upon. The Midwesterncr is endlessly curious. He likes to hear about how other people live, but he is slow to change his own ways and won't be stampeded into do ing so. The land usually molds and pat terns the people who live on it. This is particularly true of the Midweslcrner. He is the man in the middle, far from the influ ences of the seas, and his nature influenced more by the slow- changing soil than by tidal im pacts. ' Weather rules his existence from birth, and is always there ready lo ruin or enrich him. To a Midwesterner probably the most important things in life are the weather and his home. He's great homebody. No other Ameri can takes a deeper pride in his home or works harder at keep ing it up.

FAY Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (APi-The strat egy making Joint Chiefs of Staff have handy how-to-do-it plans for all manner of situations, from nil clear wars down to landing in Lebanon. The huge folio of tactics and strategy is kept constantly re vised. The period involved may be f short-range six weeks in the fu lure or a long-range 15 years hence. Even such details as a file of code names for lagging each op eration and a "specified" com mand setup is ready. The com mand is established on paper, then kept dormant until the need for its use arises. Thus "Cincspccommc" was ready. Translated from Pentagon- ese. that means Commander in Chief, Specified Command. Mid dle East." II now develops that Cincspc- comme bad existed, quietly, since a previous crisis in the Middle Easti when Egypt and Israel quarreled along Ihe Suez two years ago. The United Stales, following its policy of keeping out of the Mid dle East hot spot, had made no provisions for an over-all, unified command in the Middle East un til the Suez crisis threatened war. Yesterday, as Marines landed in the Middle East, the Pentagon disclosed that Adm. James L. Hollowoy had hurried to Ihe scene from his London headquar ters to take over the dormant spe cified commond under which na val and Marine units and any sub sequent Air Force and Army units the area will operate. This is in addition to Holloway's regular job as commander in chief of the West naval forces in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (just call it "Cincnelm"). The intricate details for gelling men and supplies to the Middle East was part of the ready, over all plan. Aircraft and ships were ready In provide the back-up upport and reinforcements for the three Marine battalions afloat 1 ships in Ihe Mediterranean. Indeed, one phase of Ihe logis tics had been practiced weeks igo. The score of Air Force Cl'.M transport-cargo planes which land- d in Western Germany followed he pattern of a similar flighl made about two months ago when Ihe Middle East situation sharn- ned momentarily. The assumption was that the first use for these huge, three- decker planes each able lo carrv nn soldiers probably would be lo transfer two airborne battle groups of the 24th Infantry Dlvi sion to Lebanon. These battle groups, transferred to the Germany-based infantry division when the lllh Airborne Division was deactivated, are spe cialists in this particular type of police action. The 6th Fleet of the U. S. Navy, which roams the Mediterranean, has two primary functions: To pro vide air and sea support to the NATO forces in Europe if the So viet Union strikes there, and to cope with incidents in the Medi terranean basin, like the threat to Lebanon's security. The 6th Fleet is supposed to be able to operate independently off any supply or repair facilities ashore. Among its approximately 50 ships are provisions vessels, tankers and repair ships, all ca pable of keeping the fleet going even though war or diplomacy should close every Mediterranean port to the fleet. I'oisoii Ivy By D. EDWIN P. JORDAN. M. Written for NEA Service Although poison ivy is almost certainly the best known of the poisonous plants, there are many others. A colleague was kind enough to send me a copy of an article on this subject which he published last year. Several familiar trees produce poisons, including the nut of the horse chestnut. Even some of the ornamental garden plants contain poisons, though most of them are relatively unimportant There are a number of plants having poisonous seeds with which farmers should be familiar. The white snakeroot and rayless golden rod produce a particular kind of alcohol which causes muscular weakness in cattle and in human beings who drink contaminated milk. One of the most interesting plants in this category is the poison hem lock, which produces paralysis of the muscles connected with breath ing. In Greece in the time of Soc rates, political prisoners were sometimes executed by this poi son. Moro recently people have been poisoned by mistaking Ihe seed of this plant for annis, the rools for parsnips or artichokes, or the leaves for parsley. Poison ivy remains the most fre quent source of trouble. Some peo ple are more sensitive to poison ivy than others. But even those who say they never have trouble with this weed often have occasion to swallow their words. There are many people who ap parently can stand exposure to poison ivy for many years without getting skin trouble and then for no apparent reason can have a bad attack. The stenw and rools in winter may cause trouble, and in sen sitive people smoke in which poi son ivy is burning can also irri tate the skin. Recognition nf the plant itself is helpful so that it can he avoid ed. For those who cannot avoid contact, the wearing of protective clothing is advisable. Also, there are encouraging re ports of injections which can be given and which will increase the resistance lo the irritating effecls of poison ivy. Treatment of a bad case requires medical attention and sometimes even hospitalization. Apparently th By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (APi-In the corn petition among new materials the building industry an old one concrete is stepping out to day in Iresh forms. It is challenging some of the newer curtain walls those ol glass, aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic covered steel, bronze as well as the older supporting walls of brick, stone, wood. And the new forms of concrete are aiming at the house building mar ket as well as the commercial and industrial ones. Precasling of ordinary concrete is one of the new methods build crs are using. Architectural Rec ord, trade publication of F. W Dodge Corp., says only four basic- pieces or panels are being used to put together the Parke-Davis warehouse and office building near San Francisco. The process is said to cut build ing time and therefore costs. Architects are also studying new types of concrete blocks and pan els, one offering three dimensional patterns and another containing millions of air bubbles and weigh ing less than a third as much as ordinary concrete. Malik' Industries of Miami, Fla. offers Shadow al blocks of conven tional size with recessed triangu lar sides permitting the three- uimensionai pauerns mat give light and shadow effecls on walls. Or they can be combined with flat surface blocks to produce sculp tured pauerns. ine mocks are said to be both fireproof and sound absorbent. The bubble concrete panel, called Calsi-Crete, is made by the Pacific Materials Corp., Pacific Mo., a subsidiary of Continental Materials Corp., Chicago. It can be made in several den sities, but currently is being made at 30 to 35 pounds per cubic foot. A panel measuring 3'j inches by 20 inches by 6 feet 8 inches weighs 110 pounds. The company says an equivalent amount of reg ular concrete weighs 455 pounds. Air bubbles are blended with cement, silica flour and other ma terials and cast in molds moving on a conveyor into a steam bath where the panels stay for 16 hours at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. The panel can be cut, sawed and nailed, and is said to have high insulation and acoustical values The makers say walls can bo erected in 40 per cent less time and at 20 per cent less cost than conventional materials.

('! 62 VIA B4RRETT, -HWi3 -UTi-i New Middle East Flames Another Nasser Success By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The new flames sweepins the Middle hast light up another suc cess for Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Egyptian dictator was sail ing home from Yugoslavia today nn ine yacnt ol the king he over threw in 1952 to start a meteoric political career. The President of the United Arab Republic of Lavpt and Syria returns to Cairo amid swiftly moving events that may bring his strongest challenge so far. The developments began early Monday, while Nasser was visit ing Communist President Tito of Yugoslavia. The monarchy in pro- Western Iraq was overturned by pro-Nasser army officers just as Nasser replaced King rarouk with a military-run republic. The Iraqi revolt started the U.S. 6th fleet moving eastward through 'the part of the Mediter ranean which Nasser is now ply ing. The fleet was on its way to land Marines in Lebanon. And the United States, in statement to the U. N. Security Council, made clear that it considers Nasser the villain in Ihe piece. Crisis is no stranger to the tall, darkly handsome Arab leader. A plotter from the time he was a boy, Nasser gambled and won Iwo years ago this month when he nationalized the Suez Canal. France and Britain struck back with an invasion of the canal zone after Israel invaded the K.gvptian ainai Peninsula. But Nasser had correctly calculated the delicate Soviet and American balance. The United States then threw Ihe weight of its diplomatic forces into action in (he United Nations against its usual allies. fbe Soviet union threatened to intervene with volunteers and nu clear weapons. Britain and France were forced lo halt their invasion and the Is raelis finally agreed to withdraw, turning Nasser's military defeat into a resounding political tri umph which sent his stock soar ing among Arab nationalists. Nasser moved stubbornly ahead with the operation of the canal on his own terms and rebuilt his mil itary forces with Communist help. Last rob. 1 the union of Egypt and Syria was proclaimed with Nasser as its president. The king dom of Yemen federated a month later and Nasser was hailed by masses in Ihe Middle East as the great Arab unifier. When the Lebanese revolt erupt ed this spring, the Beirut govern ment accused Nasser's U. A. It of sparking the rebellion by its viru lent propaganda and aiding the rebels with arms and men from Syria. The U. A. R. denied Ihe charge, but Ihe United States Britain and France maintained Ihcre was outside interference. Observers sent to Lebanon were kept from the border by the reb els. When the coup in Iraq unfolded Monday, reports from Cairo said it look the capital by surprise but jubilant celebrations followed lr the streets of Cairo and Damascus. Nasser was a 34-year-old lieu tenant colonel in the Egyptian army when he masterminded the 1952 coup that toppled King Fa- rouk. He had been plotting that upheaval 10 years, but when it came he still needed a front man. The choice was Mai. Gen.

Within two more years Naguib was out and Nasser was the pow er in front as well as behind the scenes. Born Jan. 15. 1910. in the upper Egypt village nf Bern Mor, Nasser was reared in a lower middle class family. He was sent to Cairo when he was 8 for his edu cation. He finished high school at 16 and a year later was involved wholeheartedly in anti-British vio lence. He came out of military college in 1938 as a second lieutenant. Then he began building up the career and the trusted followers that took him to the top in Cairo and cast his long shadow across the whole of the .Middle East.

Group Favors Sack Dresses CHARLOTTE. N.C. (UPI)-At least one group favors the sack dress. "We like the sack," said Thom as B. Watkins, president of Ihs North Carolina State Motor Club. "It's what we need for safer summertime driving." Watkins said that ladies wear ing shorts, especially short shorts, were a traffic hazard because the shorts distract the attention ot drivers. Last summer, he said, the club reported the traffic ac cident rate was going up alarm ingly because shorts were getting shorter. - The club even issued a request to girls to wear shorts only in their backyards, away from the view of motorists. "Now." Watkins said, "thanks to the clothes designers, the trend is to the other extreme, perhaps in the interest of highway safety. "The problem is, so to speak, in the bag this summer."
