'Every once in a while we see
some of our old friends who have
. left, temporarily at least, the Ba
sin. Seems like they just have to
keep coming back and checking.
Last weekend saw Fred Pope
who was in town for a quick visit
with son Steve. Fred is now with
the state livestock division and
having to live in Salem.
He reports that all is well but
that he's getting a whole new
shape from riding around so much
during his appointed rounds. He
really keeps on the go. And has
a few more junkets lined up mat
will add materially to the already
impressive mileage.
We miss Fred, always referred
to before in these columns as the
Sage of Fort Klamath. But I'll
bet he'll be back for good one of
these days.
John Blair was over from Lake-
view last 'week, or maybe it was
two weeks ago. Looked fit as the
traditional fiddler Said all was
coming along about as usual in
his home town. Reported a dry
year. But who doesn't? 1 recall
now that it must have been right
around the first of the month be
cause he went over to Medford
and ran into a messy fog over
thataway.
t,A recent release from someone
or other points out that crawl
space under a house Is handy in
case you have termites.
1 'don't doubt this. But it does
seem odd that in a world as ad
vanced as ours of today there
would be such a thing as a ter
mite. Must be that we are so busy
trying, to snuff out the spirit of
Independence, build a bigger and
better bomb to kill more and more
people and uncover more and
more methods of taxation that we
just don't have time to get around
to such little things as termites.
Or, for that matter, the com
mon cold, dripping faucets, non
slip can openers and anti-slice
golf balls.
This year, incidenlally, marks
the 100th anniversary of the term
"wildcatting" as applied to oil
wells.
The first commercial oil well
was drilled near Titusvillc. Penn
sylvania on August 27, 1859,
According to the legend the term
started when a bunch of penni
less but determined oil entrepre
neurs who couldn't afford to buv
leases in the proven fields moved
to the barren slopes, of Wildcat
Hollow. Here they fought off t?)
wildlife with one hand while drill
ing oil with the other.
So help mc, that's what Uie
release I got says.
Anyway, the term started. The
release goes on to say that when
oil was struck the rush of hu
manity to Wildcat Hollow drove
even the wildcats out.
Such has it always born. Just
too fvany people.
Maybe some of the wildcats
went to California, Not long ago
a bill was introduced in the as
sembly there to provide funds for
stepped up predator control in
Trinity and Humboldt Counties.
Seems, according to Sen. Carl
Chrlstensen of Eureka. Jhat preda
tors "havo just about taken over
some farm crops."
This probably didn't refer to
wildcats. Just predators in gener
al. A term almost as all-embracing
in that context as the word
"virus" is in the world of disease.
the needs of intelligent people look
ing for wholesome recreation at a
price they can afford," asserts the
release before us.
Togetherness is lauded with
camping as the sure cure for
loosening of family tics.

Perhaps the lure of the fragrant
pines and the languid, lapping wa
ters of a woodland lake are irre
sistible to apartment dwellers and
pavement - pounders. Personally,
we're looking forward to spending
one vacation at home, under our
own trees, in our own backyard
with our own dogs and mosquitoes,

Common Defense
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
One result of the Tibetan inci
dent has been a growing feeling
in both Pakistan and India that
those two nations should patch up
their differences in the interests
of a common defense of the Himalayas.
Since 1947. when both gained
their independence from Great
Britain, the two have occupied
the great Indian sub-continent as
suspicious and unfriendly neigh
bors, divided by religion, by the
dispute over Kashmir and by the
battle for water rights desperate
ly needed by both nations to feed
their poverty-stricken peoples.
But lately both have seen the
dangers from expanding Commu
nism on both their borders to the
north.
Pakistan's rugged Gilgit Agency
borders Sinkiang in Red China
and is divided from Soviet Russia
only by a narrow strip of Afghan
istan.
India also borders China and
ever since the Dalai Lama's flight
from Tibet in March and the sub
sequent friendly reception India
accorded him, has been the tar
get of increasing Red Chinese
abuse.
In Karachi, Pakistan. Air Mar
shal M. Asghar Khan showed UPI
Correspondent Patrick J. Killen a
six-page list of recent violations
of Pakistan air space.
Some of these came from India.
according to the air marshal, but,
significantly, in the last month
(here also had been recorded vio
lations by unidentilied planes over
the Gilgit Agency to the north.
, The air marshal left the pre
sumption open that those planes
were Russian jet 'bombers on re
connaissance flights.
Asghar Khan, who at 38 is the
world's youngest air marshal,
commanded the Pakistani planes
which recently shot down an In
dian Canberra plane accused of
being on a photographic mission
40 miles inside Pakistan.
Despite this, he said he hoped
for closer relations between India
and Pakistan as result of th Ti
betan incident.
"Air defense of the Indian sub
continent certainly would be easi
er if Pakistan and India worked
together," he 'said.
He described an "Himalayan
Pact" as a sound idea.
Earlier, the influential Times of
India had called lor a "summit"
conference between Prime Minis
ter Jawaharlal Henhru of India
and President Mohammed Ayub
Khan of Pakistan.
It said a reconciliation between
the two "is something that must
be explored at the highest level."
Other voices urged that as a
friend of both, the United States
should take an active hand in pro
moting better relations between
the two. .
Should those relations be im
proved, there is much to over
come. Pakistan is Moslem and India
primarily Hindu.
When they achieved their inde
pendence and the subcontinent
was divided, a vast migration
took place between the two. Sev
enteen million persons migrated
between the two as Moslem and
Hindu separated and took refuge
behind political borders. Violence
was widespread and estimates at
the time placed the number of
killed at more than one million
Conflicting claims between Pak
istan and India over Kashmir still
are unsettled, and water rights
continue to be a steady source of
friction.
Nehru has shown no signs of
abandoning his traditional hatred
for military pacts of any kind.
But he has made clear his de
termination to fight any attempt
to encroach upon Indian territory
and circumstances eventually
could change his mind about mili
tary agreements.
The Lighter Side
By FRANK ELEAZER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Some
times when you won't know what
we get for the money, all this
government spending can make
you feel sort of bad.
But when you take the trouble
to look into it and find out where
some of it goes, you feel terrible
SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal
Today's spending report is cour
tesy of a House Appropriations
subcommittee which has just
completed its annual study of the
world-wide activities of our State
Department.
Subcommittee Chairman John
Rooney (D-N.Y.) is among the
first to concede we can't get
along without the State Depart
ment. He even thinks it does
good job. He docs wonder 'some
times about certain items.
We are spending this year
million dollars to teach foreign
languages to the people we are
sending abroad. Congress agrees
this is great. However, Rooney
did think it was odd they assigned
one William I. Givens to Tokyo,
just after teaching him French,
Walter G. Walcayich learned Rus
sian. Then they sent him to Car
diff, At our language school at
Frankfurt, Richard W. White
studied German, at a cost
$3,625.
I suppose," said Rooney,
did the American taxpayer
great deal of good for Mr. White
to be assigned (then) to Dub
lin?"
When we send our people
abroad, we pay their expenses.
Like $20,739.76. to move a $12,900-
a-year economic officer from Teh
ran to Rangoon, with home leave
on the way.
Another of our helpers, drawing
$5,050 yearly, was ordered to
Iran. We shipped over for him
10,000 pounds of household gear
and his car. Then we changed our
minds and sent him to Mexico
City. Getting his stuff back for
him, and to Mexico, cost us
$7,772.76.
For our consuls we like to pro
vide reasonable houses. In Mu
nich, a reasonable home is to
cost us $122,283. In Dakar, we will
spend $200,000, plus $20,000 for
furniture.
Our new) machine for processing
passports, contrary to what Roon-
ejr nad heard, has been pro
nounced a success. It seems it
tears up no more passports than
the old one. We gave the depart
ment last year $82,250 to buy
secret device to thwart eavesdrop
pers. It turned out though the
money hasn t been spent. The de
partment said this machine hasn't
yet been invented.
Drinks, like everything else, are
getting more costly. The depart
ment wants $830,000 next year,
against the $750,000 we gave them
last time, for what it calls its
representation allowance."
Anyway, the department says
only about a fourth of this really
goes to buy drinks. The rest is for
food. Yes, Rooney said. Like $16.40
for the lunch which one of our
men in Beirut recently bought for
another of our men in Beirut plus
a local newspaper fellow.
Five of our consular posts are
being raised to new rank. Our
people there used to ride in Fords,
Chevies and Plymouths. which
cost us. delivered, $2,100. With
their new status, our diplomats
want Buicks. Mercuries, and Olds-
mobiles, at $4,500.
Even so, that could be a bar
gain. They could have asked for
Cadillacs, like some of our con
gressional leaders. For these, we
pay $11,000.

Despite what some veterans
may believe, there is no grace
period for the late payment of
installments on GI loans, VA said
today.
Thus.-VA added, veterans should
make their GI loan payments on
or before the date they are due
I ailure to do so may prove cost
ly, VA pointed out, since GI lend
ers may make an extra service
charge when payments are re
ceived late.
VA warned that veterans who
gain the reputation of being "chro
nic delinquents will find their
lenders taking that fact into ac
count if the veterans should ever
heed an extension of repayment
time on their GI loans.
In addition to their Ins. nf rt-nrlit
standing, veterans who become de
linquent in their payments may
ultimately be faced with the loss
of the property acquired with their
GI loans. VA said.
