WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 13. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 8 A Korea Commies Collective Farm System Nearing End Edilori Note: In the five years lince the end of the Korean War. the Northern Korean Communists have almost completed their farm collectivization program. But there .are reports of increasing unrest among farmers in the northern portion of this rugged peninsula. In the following dispatch, based on Information obtained from official Communist reports and South Kor ean intelligence sources, Smith of United Press International the only American news agency cor respondent stationed permanently in Korea writes of the Commun ist progress in the farm collectivi zation program and the causes of the farmer unrest. . By CHARLES R. SMITH United Press International SEOUL (UPI) The North Korean Communists' postwar farm collectivization program is nearing completion. But it is meeting more and more opposition from the farmers, according to information received here. The program was begun on a large scale only about four years ago and now an estimated 90 to 95 per cent of all farms in North .Korea are embraced in the agri cultural cooperatives. The Communists spent the first year or so, following the July, .1953, truce agreement, collectivi zing the farms on an experimen tal hasis. The formation of the coopera tives began with the establish ment of hard political cores, fol lowed by the cooperativization of Jhe farms in the most important agricultural areas. TtiB n.imW r.t asi-inltiiral rn. ODeratives grew from 806 in 19o3 to 15,825 at the end of 1956. These .cooperatives in 1956 embraced about 81 per cent of the total number of farm households and about 79 per cent of the arable ' land. now inai me uiuk ui uie lami households has been incorporated into the cooperatives, the emphas. ' is once again has shifted to the tightening of government econ- . mir and nnlifipal rnnfrnls.

The restrictions on property, equipment and livestock that can be owned by each household. But one of the most serious complaints of the farmers, accord ing to a North Korean recently captured by South Korean author ities, is the increasing attempts by the cooperative officials to in doctrinate them politically. the farmers feel they have no individual freedom, even "on their own lands, he said, and resent ment is growing.

Hitchhiking Easy, But Not Safe In Eastern Algeria CONST ANTINE, Algeria (AP) A rickety truck creaked to a halt at a French road control post at Biskra about 120 miles south of here. Its Moslem driver lazfty stepped out to give his name. "That's your safest ride," whis pered a French sentry to an Swim Team Wins Honors LAKEVIEW The Lakeview swimming team again brought home honors from the Southern Oregon Invitational Swimming Championship meet at Roseburg on August 9 and 10.

One of the three trophies American hitchhiker. "It's a reb el supply truck. We have to let some of them go. In this way tne rebels don't mine the roads and our own trucks can travel in safe ty too." Hitchhiking through rebel in fested eastern Algeria is easy but not necessarily sate. All you have to do is wait at road control posts where every vehicle civilian or military has to register, Along the road north nast the famous El Kantara Canvon lie i forma remnants of trucks burned by the rebels. Broken telephone poles clutter the roadside. Homes along the road are bat tered, destroyed by the rebels. On the ruins, the French have paint ed huge signs saying, "The re bellion means death and destruc tion. Rally to victorious France." Here and there, new villages have been erected by the French. Moslems live in them under mili tary guard. The rebels kill everybody Tutor Visits With Friends One of Klamath Falls best known teachers came back to town re cently to visit old friends and former students. Mrs. Ebba Reno, now living in Bremerton, Washington, said she had so many wonderful people to see that she just took a hotel room and spent the past week visiting. Mrs. Reno taught in city elemen tary schools for more than 20 years. She taught in every elemen tary school but Pelican, and was principal at Fairview - School for seven years. She left Klamath Falls seven years ago, after re tiring from teaching. She is the widow of J. K. Reno, a Southern Pacific engineer who worked out of Klamath Falls for years. Still active and obviously inter ested in life, Mrs. Reno said she was stopped many times this past week by boys men, now who shook her hand and asked. "Re member when you did such and such to me long ago? I was pretty bad, wasn t I? As well as a teacher, she is re membered as a Girl Scout leader during the war.

Federal Workers Plan Convention J. Irvin Borthick will represent federal employes of the nKlamath Falls area at a convention of the National Federation of F e d e r a 1 Employes in Kansas City next month. Borthick. a collection officer for the Internal Revenue Service, was chosen by Local 704, which repre sents most federal employes ot the area. Only post office em ployes, who belong to other organ izations, are not included in the local. The weeklong convention begins September 8. Borthick said the civ il service merit system, retire ment, promotions and other sub jects would be convention topics. Borthick is president ot Local 704, whose other officers are Wil- ber A. Dow, vice president; Goldie Erickson, secretary-treasurer, and Dorothy Sack, Burt Mitchell and Frank S. Stennett, directors. the local girls. Although 76 swim mers qualified in the preliminaries, several of the local group's top! swimmers were unable to attend because of other commitments. Sherry Jarman was second high individual girls point winner of the meet, The teams entered included Roseburg, Medford. Sweet Home, St. Helens, Eugene, Klam ath Falls, Eugene Country Club North Bend, Lakeview and Bend, Stan Tooke, Lakeview pool man ager, states that conflicting dales are providing difficulty in setting a time for the invitational meet at Lakeview, but it is hoped that it can be held on August 23. Meanwhile, the teams are training for the Bend meet the last week in August. Tooke announces that swim ming lessons will end Saturday, August 15. Even with the weather causing a late opening of the pool this season, the attendance figures to date are well over those of last year. The totals for the June 5 to August 10 period show 8.969, with lessons attendance at 1,892. Inter est in swimming is growing stead ily each season, Tooke said, and success of the team competition has placed the Lakeview group well up in state recognizance. DIES AT AGE 107 LISIEUX, France (UPD-Olfi- cials said today Mrs. Marie Lang lois, who died Tuesday at the age of 107, may have set a longevity record for modern-day France. said a Moslem motorist. "They don't care who travels here. They shoot without asking. This war will continue, said another. "We can fight for a long time. Independence must come. And a Moslem truck driver told about the woman he saw. "She just looked out ot her win dow after a grenade blew up and they shot her between the eyes. Mother of five children." "Who shot the woman, the French the rebels?" the American asked. The French don't shoot civil ians, monsieur. "The French come and get you at night," said another Moslem motorist. "Then they attach these electric wires lo your wrist and ask questions. This docs not leave any marks." "There were two grenades here today," said a Moslem taxi driver Constantine, the end of ,the hitchhiking journey. "All victims were Moslems. There is reason for killing French soldiers. It's war. But why do they kill our women and children, monsieur?" Palestine refugees cling to their tin-roofed shacks and dream of revenge. And all look speculatively to ward Cairo. For the present, at any rate, Gamal Abdel Nasser is their hero. This is not because he is Gamal Abdel Nasser. It is because they are in search of a hero. Nasser will do until a better one conies along. Nasserism is something which grew out of international events, inexorably pushing the Arabs East. The United Arab Re public's President still has enor mous potential tor good or mis chief. But developments this year have cooled the ardor of some of his followers. It is for the West now to recog nize that Nasser is only a symbol to most nationalists. His appeal is to a small but powerful intellec tual class which blames the West for its woes. It sees Nasser as a symbol of reviving Arab power which one day will crush impe rialism and colonialism. It blames these for its sense of inferiority and backwardness in a modern world. The peasants of Egypt, the lono- lv Bedouin nomads of the Arab deserts, the heavily burdened la borers of Iraq know little of poli tics. If they respond to Nasser, it is because Arab intellectuals have persuaded them lo do so with the poetically cadcnccd vio lence of emotional propaganda. The masses will not make the Arabs' future. The intellectuals will. Nasser was a spur to revolu tion in Iraq. But this did not nec essarily mean Iraqis in the future would follow him blindly. They won't, if they have something more promising to follow. Some told me they wero not so sure as they were two years ago that all Nasser stands for is right. The swiftness with which Egypt swallowed Syria shook their faith in their hero. This was not the sort of Arab unity they had envisioned. Nasser is' a goad to revenge among Palestine refugees. But even these will not follow Nasser blindly. They follow him so long as he represents their hopes for revenge. The sleek young sheiks admire Nasser for the moment. Their ad miration stems from fury at the spectacle of their own countries still mired in centuries-old leudai backwardness in the midst of oil riches, I talked with representatives of all these groups in Iraq, in Saudi Arabia, in fabulously wealthy Ku wait, in Egypt. Everywhere it was Nasser the symbol rather than Nasser the man the solitary bea men live In a luxury unheard of in other Arab areas. They are as sured of jobs, housing, education for their children, everything Ku wait s oil-made cornucopia can can pour out to them. Yet they are unhappy. More than anything, they told me, they want Arab na- an area where facts are scarce, is that Nasser need not be the only answer. However illogical they may appear to Westerners, the yearnings of these young mea have important bearing on the West's future in the Middle East. Thus far the West has offered tional self-respect.
