Desert was the hottest place in the world. This was an idea I had picked up from studious perusal ol the more lurid adventure yams over a period ol years. But I am now able to say from first hand information lhat the wholo thing is a mere literary warm spell of no consequence. The hottest place on earth is the Sacramento canyon anywhere be tween Dunsmuir and Redding dur ing the first two or three days of October. This I know for fact because we have just returned from a quick trip to the Sonoma area. Going down the trip was a breeze until we hit the canyon. Almost three burning, broiling hours of one-way traffic, hc.it, dust, roaring bulldoz ers and all the rest of the confusion lhat goes with improving a road. Coming home it was the same treatment. Hot, followed by hotter and both followed by more traffic than I have ever seen on that road at this time of year. : Oddly enough it was tourist traf fic. Lots of house trailers, lots of cars towing boats, lots of station wagons filled wilh tourist para phernalia. - Anyway, It was a real doozio of a trip if you like il hot. But in other respects. Anchorage ooks more like a stateside met opolis than other Alaskan cities Us wide paved streets grace beau tiful stores and banks. Anchorage oasts 40 churches . . . two dail newspapers . . . three radio sta tions . . . two television stations. It has 11 elementary schools, a junior high and one high school. About half of the eligible voters in Alaska live in Anchorage. The city enjoys a moderate tem perature, about the kind of weath er enjoyed in Northern Michigan and Northern Minnesota. But the summer sun shines from 15 to 22 hours a day during the four-month growing season. More than 14'i inches of ra,in fall on the city each year, and winter snow usual ly measures about five feet. The secretary of the local chain her of commerce says what An chorage needs most now is a paved highway through Canada. Such a highway would bring the U.S. mainland closer as far as cheap er transportation is concerned. '. It brought to light one contort ing fact, anyway. People, at least ome of the nervous ones, have :becn wondering if the West wasn't .'growing too fast in population and ;wondcring what was going to come ;of it all. ; I think the solution to this poten tial question is in sight. Detroit ;Can still build cars faster than the highway engineers and con struction companies can widen roads. This means lhat a saturation point will be reached, and soon, where traffic will inevitably come to a standstill. If an epidemic should hit while this massive traffic jam is grind ing to the final halt it could well wipe out most of the population for miles and miles and miles. People who started out to see Aunt .Minnie might he found dead and shriveled in the heat years and years after they were due to arrive. Health authorities will he power less to combat this situation be cause they will be unable to get to those concerned. Escape from the atom bomb will he easier than getting away from this log jam of cai's. Perhaps we may even reach the point someday where we will have In start" all over and build new highways on top of the stalled ears beneath. Of course, maybe the situation will clear up. But I don't expect to he alive when it does. Last weekend almost killed me. Alaska Slory Keillor's Note: This Is the first In a three-part scries on life in Alaska, reported by United Press International. ANCHORAGE. Alaska - A lliriv ins city of 80,111111 people without in dustry, without agriculture, and without much visible means of support. Yet Anchorage is the l;ui;ct city in the newest slate, and is hecnin ing the North American continent's biggest boom town The city looks like a spick and span modern. all-American city But the biggest dilterence is thai Anchorage is built aioiind an econ omy run on I' S. go eminent mon ey. Resides ledc.ral spending there is a little income Inini tourists, some from fishing anil some from mining. Alaskans understand the govern ment spending will slop some time. Hut the optimistic natives rest their hopes on the develop menl of half a doen oil fields. Fields lhat some day may he as large as the oil fields of Texas Everything in Alaska is measured by Texas standards. Oil has been touiid on the Kenai Peninsula. And geologists believe there is more in the area. But ac tive production of the oil. and also revenue from the production, will lake years. Until then, ami it may he live years before oil starts spurting dol lars toward Anchorage, local busi nessmen are happy with the gov frnmenl spending. Prices ;re about 50 per cent high or in Anehoiage than in oilier I'.S cities. Milk sells ur 'J." cents a glass, beer lor Ml cents. Housing can run from a hundred dollars monthly rent for a single loom with a hot plate. In about $.100 n month for a plti-h apartment, Tin average Sl.i.nun stateside home costs about $1.1,000 lo build wilh (wo bedrooms in Am borage, most ly because thcie is a lack of lum ber in the ncighemhonrt. I A't's ' I'JM'IS Vancouver (Canada) Sun An honest, rational appraisal of the fads of life in this war-scared world is made by Cyrus Eaton on Ins return from Russia. And it boils down to what The Sun has been saying right along: You don't have lo like Communists, but you do have to admit that they exist and that they're powerful and that you have to deal wilh them And you can't make a deal with a man while you're waving a gun in his face especially if he has his hand around one in his own jacket pocket. Mr. Eaton bases his opinions on personal meetings wilh the Rus sian leader Nikita Khrushchev, whom he found "firmly in the saddle." But they apply equally lo the lied Chinese and the Chinese Communists, who, as it was unde niably demonstrated during the Middle East crisis, arc not to be scorned when it comes to pow er and influence in the Communist world. Mr. Eaton also criticizes Ameri can leadership, some of which he accuses of being "carried away with vanity, truculenec and an ar roganl willingness to interfere wilh Hie affairs of oilier countries." This description fils John Foster Dulles like a glove. He must cer tainly possess more than (he nec essary share of vanity, truriilence ind arrogance lo judge by his blustering over (Jtirnmy and For mosa This lalest bit of brinkmanship creates little salisfaetion among the Americans' allies. It also finds something less than unanimity imong the American people and leadership themselves. But appar ently Mr. Dulles still feels that the best way to get along wilh these Communists is to rattle guid- d missiles in their faces. Mr. Dulles ought to listen lo Mr. Eaton, who thinks it's even time to start trading wilh the Russians. It's fortunate thai a strong lead r like Khrushchev is in power there," says the Canadian-horn in dustrialist. "It is time lo deal with him." II is. And with the Chinese Reds. And to deal with them requires meeting them as equals equals in technique, equals in skills, equals in power. Even if not equals in ivilizalion. That is the essential difference, and a very big one too. Hut it doesn't make it ncccssarv lo snub and in.-ull them, to sneer! and threat) n them. It makes it nil the mole important to sit down and bargain wi!h them re.ili.-lical-lv. Thaf the wav i.;;r superior iliz.ition will -ho- itself supe rior. ' Hooligan By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP News Analyst The official Chinese Communist press has called President Eisen hower a hooligan. The Soviet Communist party has used its own official press to at tack President Eisenhower person ally and slanderously. There is more than a suggestion of fury in all this, Perhaps some ol the best laid plans of Mao Tze lung and Nikita Khrushchev have been derailed. It is not a matter of particular note that Khrushchev is furious. He usually is. It is just that he is getting furiouscr and furiouser. Khrushchev long ago discarded the notion that diplomacy should be the science ol saying the most offensive things in the least often sivc way. He seldom has had any thing nice to say to the west at any time. When he has had some thing offensive, he has let it go in all its naked nastincss. the Soviet boss, never aspiring to be. the polished diplomat, has used epithets freely. He has used such endearing terms as "war monger" and "arch-criminal" ir speaking of Winston Churchill Only recently he has seen fit to compare France's Premier de Gaulle wilh Hitler. But he had been a little more cautious up to now in his exchanges wilh Presi dent Eisenhower. Now, however, he and his Chi nese allies sound like two voices of a musical round. A couple of days ago the official Chinese Communist press accused President Eisenhower of adopting hoolignnist methods in reject ing Khrushchev's Sept. 19 letter. In that communication Khrush chev had accused the President of being a captive of a Dulles "brink of war" policy and of using atomic blackmail. Hooligan is a Russian word and nasly one, meaning the lowest type of rowdy. But the controlled Peiping press went beyond that. It compared the President with former Secretary of Defense For restal, who, it said, "suffering from military hysteria, went mad when it seemed to him Soviet planes already were bombing New ork. and jumped from a win dow." Pravda, Khrushchev's offi cial voice, saw fit to reprint this Peiping bit Wednesday. In itself, all this fury is most interesting. Possibly the least lhat had been expected of Khrushchev's letter was that it would bring a reply The reply would call for another Khrushchev broadside and a de bate would be under way in which the Communists could try to make Iruilliil propaganda. Under this propaganda screen. the Communists might find a prof itable way of easing off. tempo rarily, their pressure in the cur rent Far East crisis, which is be- oming more dangerous daily. The Chinese themselves were involved in a brink of war policy, without much lo hack il up, and the So viets were committed to go lo Chi nese aid in the event of a shooting war with a third parly. A propaganda debate could be springboard for another of Khrushchev's famous and feroci ous leller-writing campaigns lo Irighlen other governments and populations. W hen Eisenhower rejected Khrushchev's letter out of hand. lied policy was in an awkward po sition. It had blustered and threat- side world to think their bluff had :een called. But Ihey could scarce ly resort to deeds instead of words. The Red Chinese cannot aflord a major war and the So viets have shown no enthusiasm for the prospect. Perhaps the big noise is designed to cover up a temporary confusion. ened. The threats and bluster had been dismissed as boorishness. What could the Communists do next'1 They could hardly try again in a solter voice and admit the error of the previous approach They would hardly want the out Monkey Wrench By K. C. THALER United Press International LONDON (UPD Soviet Russia has thrown a new monkey-wrench into the disarmament debate which may block any major arms cut accord for an indefinite period In a thinly veiled warning Rus sia virtually served notice on the West that there would be no solu tion of the disarmament problem without Red China's participation This was the reading by diplo matic experts of a seemingly cas ual remark by Soviet Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko during an oration at the United Nations As sembly in support of Communist China's admission lo the world or ganization. Gromyko, pleading for the Pei ping s regime admission to the U.N. said until this happened many important questions such as disarmament could not be dealt with properly. This was Moscow's way of say ing that Red China will have lo participate in future disarma ment negotiations if they are to get anywhere. The move fits into the picture of latest developments in the Sino- Russian alignment and gives fresh support to recent indications of Communist China's growing pres sure on the Kremlin. So far .Moscow has not yet for mally raised the point. But judg ing irom previous experience Western diplomats expected to be conlronted wilh a demand for Red Chinese participation when disar mament issue is revived. Next month representatives of the United Stales. Britain and Russia are slated to meet in Ge neva I Oct. 31) lo discuss the sus pension of nuclear tests under an international control syslem. lhe West wants to use this oc casion for a resumption of broad er disarmament considerations, Russia wants an unconditional sus pension of tesls. The subject of Red China probably will then crop up. Such demand could in present circumstances in effect bloc any further disarmament negotiations for an indefinite period. Until now Russia has carefully bypassed the issue of Red Chinese participation in arms cut negotia tions. She has done so despite the fact lhat both the West's and her own disarmament proposals provided for a reduction of Communist Chi nese armed forces as well as their own in any future global arrange ment. Nor did Moscow raise the issue when earlier this year East and West debated the convocation of a conference of scientists from both camps in Geneva lo examine the possibilities of nuclear explosions detection.

JORDAN, M D. Wrillen lor NEA Service A good and important question comes in from todays first in quirer. Q. Is it possible for a person who once had polio and recovered completely to gel it again? A.M. . II is. There are three princi pal strains of the virus causing polio. Infection with one of them will result in immunity to that strain, but not to the other two. This is one of the reasons why it is so terribly important for everyone under 40, whether or not he or she has already had polio, to receive the vaccine which is aimed at producing resistance to all three virus strains. Q. Is it still (rue that a preg nant woman should be careful not to paint or spend much lime in a recently painted room? L. A. A. So lar as I am aware, the paint used today does not conlain chemicals or fumes which might lead to a miscarriage. However, a pregnant woman should be care Iti' in painting land other activi ties! to avoid the risk of falling or of excessive muscular strain. Q. Please discuss vascular pasm. Mrs. O. F. A.

Plans Underway To Provide Facilities For Students By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Plans are being made to pro vide educalional facilities for some of the 17,000 youngsters idled by school closings in Arkansas and Virginia and the dynamiting of the high school at Clinton, Tenn. Fourteen schools are shut down in the three states. In several sec tions, legal sparring continued be tween state and federal authori ties while statements on the inte gregation crisis came from Wash ington and Florida. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter asked Monday for a constructive use of time in school integration ill general but said ihat lawlessness if not checked is 'he forerunner of anarchy. He is sued an opinion concurring with (he court's unanimous decision in the Little Rock case last wpek. In Little Rock. Gov. Orval E. Faubus expressed belief that pri vate all-white schools would be in operation by mid-October. He made lhe statement a lew hours alter an appellate court in St. Louis extended until Oct. 15 a ban on operation of the four high schools as private, segregated in- -tilutiuns. Dr. T. J. Raney. president of he Little Hock Private School Corp., said his group planned lo begin operating as soon as possi ble in private buildings with pri vate donalions without waiting for lhe Oct. 15 federal court decision. At Clinton, state and federal au- fhorities continued searching for clues to the identity of the dyna miters while BSD high school pup- Is, including 11 Negroes, prepared o shift classes lo an elementary school at Oak Ridge six miles rom Clinton. Principal W. D. Human said1 he outlined plans to send the youngsters to Oak Ridge by bus. probably starting Thursday. The Atomic Energy Commission au thorized use of the vacant school at Oak Ridge because some chil dren of AEC employes attended Clinton. Clinton High was integrated by federal court order two years ago. Several incidents occurred lhe first year but the situation quieted down later. In Virginia, Duncan C. Gibb, chairman of a citizens' committee which formed an educational foun dation in Warren County, said jun iors and seniors of the closed high school at Front Royal would start emergency classes Wednesday. Eight other schools in Charlottes ville and Norfolk remained closed. Federal Judge Albert V. Bryan refused to dismiss a suit seeking admission of 14 Negroes to two while high and three elementary schools in Alexandria, Va. He set Oct. 30 as the date for arguments in the case.
