Hoi, Slow
By BILL JENKINS
There was a lime when I though
that the fiery heart of the Sahan.
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

getting away from this log jam of
cai's.

point someday where we will have

Of course, maybe the situation
will clear up.
But I don't expect to he alive
when it does.

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.

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.

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.

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

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Plans are being made to pro

some of the 17,000 youngsters idled
by school closings in Arkansas

of the high school at Clinton, Tenn.
Fourteen schools are shut down
