Some 190,000 Israeli Arabs live
in areas under military rule
141,000 in GalMec, 41.000 in the
narrow strip adjoining the Jor
dan border in the Tulkarm area,
and lfi.000 in Bedouin encamp

The now need a permit to
travel away from their homes.
This is designed to keep the
population under surveillance and
limit their contacts with enemy
agents.
This was considered, inevitable
during Israel's eleven years ol
existence, during which the
neighboring Arab states main
tained a state ot hostility and
openly declared their reliance on
a fifth column inside Israel in the
event of open war.
During this period the major-
ity of Israeli Arabs endeavored
to prove their loyalty to Israel
and from time lo lime they have
received substantial ameliora
tions in the conditions of military
government.
Although outside Arab hostility
has not lessened, apparently the

Dallas Dead Letter Office
Finds Writer, Saves Love
DALLAS. Tex. (AP The dead
letter office of the Dallas post of
fice rescued a romance Friday.
And without a moment to spare.
It started last Friday when the
office received a stamped letter
with no address, containing a
check for Moo and a letter signed
only "Ken." v
Studying the letter for a clue
as to the sender's identity, postal
employes found it was from an
American man, writing to a Ger
man girl to confirm wedding
plans.
An appeal went out through
newspapers for "Ken" to identify
himself.
Kenneth Edmislon, 27, came
forward Friday to claim the check
and explain the blank envelope:
"I had a small envelope, ad

check and saw it couldn't, be fold

Telephone Office Closing
Ires Dunsmuir Resident
DUNSML'IR The closing of the
Dunsmuir telephone office
drew fire from Al Hiland at the
recent city council meeting.
Hiland, who operates an auto
matic record player agency,
charged Dunsmuir customers will
have no way to check long dis
tance phone call bills and that
repair service will be slow. Hi
land said he had lost, four days'
business because his mechanical
phone answering device wasn't re
paired promptly during the trans
fer of telephone headquarters to
Vreka. 1
Floyd Dill, Siskiyou County man
ager for Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph, argued the telephone
services had been moved to Yreka
because centralization will afford
better service. Dill said the tele
phone service staff will remain in
Dunsmuir and dispatching will be
done in Yreka. Service will be
available to business and others
dependent on phones for health,
safety and income.
Hiland withdrew his protests aft
er listening to Dill's reassurances.
The council decided to prepare
plans for $20,000 work or renova

hall and will consider bank financ
ing of the project. E. A. Christen-

The racket usually is beyond pro

Last fall the Post Office Depart
ment and the Department of Jus

cution program based on intent to
defraud, even though suspects met
legal requirements.
The first two cases, brought to
trial in North Dakota and Iowa,
resulted in the conviction of 13
persons for prison terms ranging
between 18 months to five years.
The post office department said
100 "advance fee" investigations
are in progress now throughout the

months longer than was first an-
ticipated.
These developments came to
light in the wake of Thursday's
launch-pad destruction of what
was to have been America's new
est satellite, the 91'i-pound Ex
plorer VI.
When Explorer IV was launched
at Cape Canaveral, Fla., last July
26, scientists estimated it would
remain in orbit about a year.
A space agency official said that
judging from the satellite's be
havior at the time its radio broad
casting unit went silent last fall.
Explorer IV s life span is about
up.
"It should go down at Ihe end
of July, but we could be in error
as much as a month," the official
said.
"There will be no way ot know
ing unless the satellite should be
sighted during its last couple of
passes."
Sputnik III, the only Soviet satel
lite still circling the earth,
given a life expectancy of IS
months at the time of its launch
ing May 15, 1958. That would have
meant an end to its flight perhaps
this month.
However, optical tracking of the'
2,900-pound space cone, and con
tinued signals from its solar-battery
powered radio, have added
some four months to the initial
estimates.
Three other U.S. satellites art
still in orbit around the earth.
