The rays of the rising sun softly
caress the entrance to Pearl Har
. bor and the call to colors floats
softly out across the blue gray
waters just inside the harbor, as
the splashing color of the red,
white and blue flag is hoisted in
offering to the morning breeze.
Old Glory snaps smartly over a
wooden platform that could eas
ily pass for some soft of a moor
ing dock.
But beneath this old wooden
planking lie the bodies of 1.IK2
American servicemen, entombed in
tie rusting hulk of the USS Arizona.
It was just such a morning on
that Sunday, December 7, when a
different kind of rising sun rained
bombs on a surprised fleet of bat
tleships, cruisers and destroyers
lying inside (he harbor enjoying a
"day of rest."
For the USS Arizona and most
of her crew it was to be a final
"day of rest."
But, today, 18 years later, the
only markers to indicate this
heroic spot are some concrete pil
lars at the edges of the USS
Arizona, and this same wooden
platform.
No memorial listing the names
of the 1J02 men; merely token
recognition that here lie the re
mains of a sunken ship.
It has never been raised, and
probably never will be. Its occu
pants lie quietly somewhere amid
the twisted, burned ruins inside
the ship, at. their battle stations
or desperately trying to struggle
awake or trying to remain alive
in the flaming hell that' followed
the rain of Japanese bombs.
Mute forever, they can never
tell the tale of that "day of in
famy." The ravages of war have long
since been cleaned away, the
sound of the bombs and the shells
has passed from the far reaches
of the Pacific, and America and
Japan have wrapped up the wounds
of war.
But these 1,102 will forever re
main at their battle stations
amid this twisted, charred hulk
For them, the war will never
be over, and yet is forever end
ed.
However, their memory is car
ried today in the minds and hearts
ot all Americans. A move is now
underway to raise necessary mon
ey to erect a permanent memori
al over the spot.
A motion picture, "John Paul
Jones," is to be premiered on
August 11. Governor Mark Hatfield
has joined the governors of the
other 49 states In sponsoring this
premiere, with the funds to go to
ward such a memorial.
The Oregon premiere is being
held at the Elsinore Theater in
Salem. Governor Hatfield jiamed

Surface Division in Salem, to
head the committee arranging the
premiere.
It's about time that grateful
America began to show its appre

of these Americans.

One thing seems to stay con
slant and that is the boater's ad
diction to wool. This natural fiber
can absorb up to 30 per cent of
its weight in water without feeling
clammy or cold and it provides
protection from both heat and
cold.
The romantic sheiks and Arabs
on the seas of the desert sand
appreciated the wonders of wool
back in the early days. They
draped themselves in flowing wools
as a protection from the blazing
sun by day and the bitter cold
of the desert at night. Down
through the years, nearly, every
race has had its typical shawl or
wrap of-woven wool. '
To date, however, we have
failed to note a wool bathing suit

At some time or other durlnc
a lifetime, nearly every grownup
has had a yen to skipper his own
boat. Perhaps the desire Is always
mere from the time a child first
sails a toy boat in a wash tub
or his bath.
At any rale, additional leisure
time is permitting many thou
sands of persons to realize boating
dreams. Water sports are booming,
with a total of 7,330,000 recreation
al boats In use in this country
in 1958. That was an estimated
Increase of 376,000 over the year
before.
Last year, more than two bil
lion dollars were spent in this
country on boating, including ac
cessories, equipment, club mem
berships and all other phases of
the sport except cosmetics and
clothes.
Upper Klamath Lake is coming
into its own in this revival of in
tcrest in things nautical. There
has been more activity at the
local yacht club this year than
anybody can remember in the
past. Weather has been more fa
vorable and activities seem to be
better organized. There has been
more emphasis on safety factors
and attention to the entire family
group with Instruction in water
skiing and other sports included.
Cosmetic manufacturers have

Look-See '
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (AP) A look
see is a good eye-opener.
The exchange visits of Amerl
cans and Soviets particularly of
ficials may have no immediate,
visible results. Long range, the
thinking of both governments
should be clarified and affected.
The Soviet Union's two deputy
premiers, Frol R. Kozlov and
Anastas I. Mikoyan, came this
year to the United States where
there is no broad discontent ex
cept perhaps on the racial issue.
They looked around, and found a
degree of prosperity the Soviets
can only dream of.'
Vice President Richard M. Nix
on has visited the U.S.S.R. and
so far as American news reports
from there indicate found hordes
of cheerful, hardworking Soviet
citizens who showed no broad dis
content with their government or
their way of life.
Most Soviet citizens now alive
never knew any other government
or way of life, and life is getting
better for them in material things.
In both cases what the officials
saw should affect the thinking of
their governments, particularly
wishful thinking. And what the of
ficials found can be multiplied
many times by what the non-
ol final visitors see in both coun
tries.
The late Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, who shaped Ameri
can foreign policy, seemed taken
with the idea a number of times
that if this country could keep up
its "containment" . policy long
enough the Soviet edifice might
topple.
He even went so far one time
as to tell a congressional commit
tee the Soviet system was on the
point of collapsing. President Els
enhower's press secretary James
C, Hagerty later had to explain
Duties didn't really mean collap
sing-. ,
Yet' this attitude of Dulles, who
never got a look around the Soviet
Union raises a question: What
would his thinking, and perhaps
even some aspects of his foreign
policy, have been if he had gotten
an inside look?
Dulles, like Soviet leaders who
aic convinced capitalistic societies
will eventually collapse, was a vic
tim of his own wishful thinking.
He and they wanted to believe
that they were seeing what they
wanted to sec.
President Elsenhower is. known
to feel there are considerable
pressures within the Soviet Union
which might persuade the Krcm
lin to accept a tension - easing
agreement.
That makes sense and is a long
way trom envisioning a Soviet
collapse.
It is reasonable to believe that
the more the Soviets learn about
the material advantages of the
people in the ' non-communist
countries, the more they will want
the same, and the more the pres
sure on their masters to meet
their desires. "
It's also reasonable tn believe
that as more Soviet citizens are
educated they will feel an in
creased right to assert themselves
in the conduct of a government
which affects them. Travel is a
part of their education.
The exchange visits which bring
more and more Soviet citizens to
this country where they get a
close-up view of what personal
fieedom means should be a force
shaping attitudes when they re
turn home.
But again it would be wishful
thinking to believe that Soviet cit
izens would want or would accept
everything they see in American
life. .
For Instance, they might feel, re
pelled by a system which, unlike
theirs, does not provide security
from the cradle to the grave.
In short, there may be some
things, but not all, which visiting
Soviets might consider an im
provement on their own system
By the same token, Americans
visiting the U.S.S.R. may feel the
same about what they see there
In a long history of men, minds
and governments there is a steady
evolution, even though it may look
painfully slow. No people or gov
ernment can escape it.
So while this country may feel
that letting Soviet citizens come
here may be an effective way of
bringing about changes in the So
viet Union, American visits to the
U.S.S.R. may affect American
thinking, too.
To think otherwise would be to
assume there is nothing good in
the Soviet Union and that every
thing is perfect here.

Editors Note: The following are
excerpts from a letter written to
Charles V. Dobry Sr., Malm, by
Joseph Divisek. Berwvn. Illinois.
miter Divisek had received an in
vitation to attend the 50th anniver
sary celebration of the founding
of Malm. Divisek was among the
1909 Czech colonists who settled
the Malin community.
Berwyn, Illinois (To the Edi
tor) I am sure sorry that I can
not come to Malin. There arc
many items in my mind about
the firt three years that we were
there. I remember one time when
several of the brave got a motor
boat to cross Tule Lake. When
they were in the middle of the
lake the motor went out on them
and a big storm blew up, they
all got sick and landed on the
other side of the lake.
Also how A. Kalina used to
walk all trie way to Klamath Falls
to work on the railroad to earn
a few dollars. There were several
others that did the same and how
he helped us go into the moun
tains for posts so we could build
a fence.
And how we came by stage
coach from Klamath Falls to Mer
rill and there Frank Krcmarik
took us to his place where we
stayed until we built, a chicken
house, into which we moved and
then with the help of Mr. Anton
Krupka, we built a house. Do not
forget there were five children,
Fred was about two years old.
Vaclav Kalina was at our house
most every day.
I guess we were the only ones
that had a phonograph with Bo
hemian records. Many a night the
whole bunch would come over to
listen. I remember when they had
the first celebration and dance
held over Adams' store. Your
father, Mike Dobry, Emil Polivka,
Frank Paygr Sr., and Mrs. Mamie
Giacomini played. The people
were very gay, not much money,
but happy. I remember when
W. C. Dalton Sr. had his first car,
how Mr. Halas used to experi
ment with ,the sagebrush trying
to cross it with roses.
How we used to drive to the
lumber mill in the winter- time
to bring lumber for the school and
then for other buildings. Too, how
the man at this mill was so strong
he could take the rear end of a
wagon loaded with lumber and
shift it over. I think his name
was Worlow. The post office of
Tule Lake was run by Mr. and
Mrs. Dunn. Mr. Love Chandler
had the mail route between Tule
Lake and Merrill. He also brought
the Malin mail to Adams' store,
which at that time was a general
store and P.O.
Your folks were the first to
leave, they went to Hamilton City,
California, and lifter came back.
We were the first to have a public
auction' sale when we left after
about three years ot' struggle. I
remember the rabbjt drives they
used to have every winler because
they would do a lot of damage
and the county was paying five
cents a pair of ears, bounty.
One time Frank Krcmarik took
a load of potatoes to Klamath
Falls. When he got there he could
not sell them. Finally one store
gave him $5 in groceries for them.
He had to stay in a hotel over
night and put up his horses m a
livery stable. The hotel cost him
50 cents and he didn't have cash
to pay his bill at the livery so
he told the man his story and
told him to take some of the gro
ceries. But the livery man said,
"If you are that poor, forget the
bill." On his way home he took
the wrong road and had to do
15 miles extra. In those days
there was no market for the prod
ucts. Furthermore it cost $1.50
per hundred pounds to take it to
the railroad.
At one time Jelinck's house
burned down and all the settlers
brought something as a donation,
clothes, and food. I wonder if the
people are as generous today.
I am sure there are 'several
people in Malin that remember
more than I. If possible send me
any writeups that will appear in
the newspapers. With best wish
es, I will always remember Malin.
Joseph and Emily Divisek.

Farm Values, Debts Reach
New High At Last Account
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
value of all farm assets in the
United States rose 9 per cent last
year to an all-time high of $203,-
100.000,000, ' the Federal Reserve
System reported today.
Total farm debt also reached
a record $23,300,000,000, up three
billion dollars, or 14.8 per cent,
from Jan. 1, 1958.
The assets minus the total debt
left the equity of farm operators
and other owners of farm proper
ty at a record $179,800,000,000, up
$13,600,000,000, or 8.3 per cent,
from a year earlier.
About half of the total increase
of nearly 17 billion dollars in
farm asset values resulted from

and have accounted for about 70
per cent of the increase in the
total value of farm assets since
Jan. 1, 1954.
Farm assets include the finan

household furnishings and equip
ment owned by farmers as . well
as all the assets used directly in
farm production, such as farm
land and buildings, livestock, trac
tors, motor trucks, farm machin
ery, and inventories of crops.
All other types of farm assets
as well as real estate values in
creased during 1958. Among them,
livestock on farms, showed the
greatest increase in value about
four billion dollars.
The increase in farm mortgage
debt to $11,300,000,000 from $10,-
500.000,000 was at about the same
percentage rate as in other re
cent years.
An exceptionally large increase
occurred in non-real estate farm
debt. The sharp increase in Com

farmers resulted mainly from the
greater quantities of cotton,
