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.

WASHINGTON (APi-The strat

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

The assumption was that the

groups of the 24th Infantry Dlvi

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

says an equivalent amount of reg

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

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. Mo-

ident and premier of the new re
gime.
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."
