The idea of making friends
through letter writing has been
with us for a number of generations.
Two things recently brought the
subject of pen pals to my atten
tion. '- 1 WAS CONCERNED yesterday
'when it was revealed that the
State Department apparently op
poses the practice of American
school children writing letters to
Kussian children.
A fourth grade girl student
Koseburg had written the depart
ment asking for names of sonm
Russian pen pals, and apparently
the department replied through
Representative Charles Porter that,
they feared Kussian censorship and
propaganda.
Porter lampooned the idea, but
admitted that the Russians did
practice censorship and propagan
da.
He added, "This is like telling
your kids never to walk across the
treet because some people get hit
by cars."
LET'S TAKE . A CAREFUL
look at this proposal and the State
Department's reply.
First of all, any such pen pal
writing certainly should be under
the direction of a teacher, since
a fourth grade child has no way
ol determining truth from propa
ganda. ; But, beyond that, I can see noth
ing but good coining from such a
venture. .
Since we practice no censorship,
the child would be free to write the
truth, telling about his or her life
and surroundings.
'. By contrast, any censorship prac
ticed by the Russians would be
readily detected by the Russian
youngsters who would know that
some things had been cut out of
trie letters.
American youngsters, in turn,
would be able to see Russian cen
sorship in action in the letters
they, in turn, reccivod.
IT HAS ALWAYS been my be
lief that our American freedoms
could withstand any assault.
Jf anyone understands the true
nature of our freedoms, then I m
po.silive he would never trade
even a portion of them for the
type of tyranny that comes with
such fearful philosophies as com
munism, fascism or socialism.
Exchange of letters with Russian
students could also have some
good advantages in giving our chil
dren a better understanding of
conditions in other nations of the
world, and might even work, in
the long run, toward promotion of
more harmonious relations be
tween the two nations.
state police officers or deputy sher
iffs. Air service is good and the
Hip can be as inexpensive or as
costly as one wishes.
During the season, there are
plush hotels on the coast which
charge only a little less than Amer
ican resort hotels. For the tour
ists who speak the language, there
are the trains tor getting mere

Klamath Falls (To the Editor)
Could you please tell me where
might go to become a wine
tester? I have always been a very
ambitious person, but could not
lecide what career or occupation
to follow. I think now I have de
cided. I want to be a wine tester.
It seems like such a glamorous
career. Alter reading so much
about this activity and realizing
what all these people are doing
for the wine industry, I thought to
myself well, maybe I can be use
ful too.
Perhaps, if given the chance, I
could become the greatest wine
tester in the community. 1 could
bring fame to my old home town.
m all "hepped up" over the idea.
What appeals to me, too, is all
the free samples. I can see a great
future in this typo of activity for
organizations which seem to be
having a hard time getting mem
bers to attend.
If given the chance to become a
wine tester, I am going to make aj
pledge to myself to try to help all
organizations become more spar
kling and vital in their approach to
community inertia. Even now, this
idea is "fermenting" in my mind.
Why not have contests between
different organizations to find the
really, really, greatest wine tester
in the community? Friends, it has
endless possibilities. Thanks to all
of you who have helped me de
cine on my life work.
With a toast to you all,

SPEAKING of pen pals, I have
a recent letter from a 16-year-old
Japanese girl attending Jumonji
High School in Tokyo.
Her hobbies are doing needle
work, reading and listening to
rock V roll songs. Her favorite
singers are Ricky Nelson, Conway
Twitly, Elvis Presley, and Bobby
Darrin.
She enclosed a picture of her
self. Let me pass along her address:

Here's a chance for young peo

with a Japanese girl.
I hope someone will respond to
her plea.

Klamath Falls (To the Editor)
I have read with great interest
the articles written in your paper
on county government by Mr,
Wynne and, Mr. Clark.
Mr. Wynne has placed himself
on record against a new court
house wing. This is easy to figure
out. While the county has been
growing and demands and duties
of county government increasing.
Mr. Wynne Just sits in his office
and writes editorials.' Offices in
Ihe courthouse are taking care of
three to four times the business
they were built to handle nearly
40 years ago.
The district courtroom is' a dis
grace to tho county. The Upper
court has to handle a good deal of
their cases in a room not fit for
storage. Every office In the build
ing is crowded to the hilt. If Mr.
Wynne had to publish his paper
under the same conditions he
would leave town.
Mr. Wynne said he would like
to take a tour of the building and
talk to those who need extra space.
What is he waiting for? It is a
public building and anyone can
inspect it. Maybe he wants the
county court to take a day off and
lead him around by the hand. He
is well known and will get his
quest ions answered.
Of course, it is a lot easier to
write editorials to confuse the pub
lic than find out the facts.

Itcri China
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (API All of a
sudden the Red Chinese are put
ting on their Sunday-go-to-meet-
ng clothes and an altitude of but
ter-won't-melt-in-our-mouths.
Two things have happened in
connection with this, one realistic
and the other hard to believe.
The realistic one: '
Ever since the Korean War the
American government has refused
to recognize the Chinese Commu
nists as the rightful government
of mainland China and has op
posed a seat in the United Nations
for them.
There has always been some un
reality about this, since the Red
Chinese not only control mainland
China but appear to be strong
enough to keep on controlling it
into the unforeseeable future.
The American position, in try
ing to ignore the dominance of
tho Red Chinese on the mainland,
has always been a diplomatic
maneuver intended to force the
Red Chinese into being less belligerent.
Still, just because this has been
the American position, the United
Slates has excluded Red China
from any talks about .world dis
armament, even though any dis
armament agreement without Red
China would be a farce.
Nevertheless the United States,
with four of its Western Allies,
was going ahead with plans to
meet with the Soviet Union and
four Soviet-bloc countries in mid
March to seek agreement on
world disarmament.
Then a little over a week ago
the Red Chinese made it clear
just how much of a joke it would
be for the rest of the world to
exclude them from an agreement
They did it simply:
They said they would not abide
by any agreement which they
didn't help negotiate or sign. The
Slate Department quickly agreed
this was true and said if the dis
armament talks show progress
Red China should be brought in.
it would have been more
realistic for the State Department
to have said this on its own, and
long ago. As it is, the Red Chinese
tuok the initiative in pushing the
State Department into this admis
sion.
This is the hard-to-believe one:
Thursday in Tokyo a high-rank
ing Japanese politician said the
Red Chinese foreign minister,
Chen Yi, told him the Communist
Chinese have decided never again
to use force against Formosa's
Chiang Kai-shek.
The repeated Red Chinese at
tacks on the forces of Chiang, who
is not only an American ally but
in effect an American responsibil-
!y, have been the sorest point of
friction between this country and
Red China.
the Red Chinese have never
told the United States they will
abandon force against Formosa
But if their foreign minister was
telling the truth to the Japanese
politician, then there are perhaps
three reasons.
None of the three can be at
tributed to a sudden development
of mildness or international to
getherness in Red China, These
are the three likely reasons, sing
ly or together;
1. Chiang is an old man. They
may figure he won't live long and,
since he was their main stum
bling block to winning Formosa,
once he's gone the Chinese on For
mosa can be induced to come
over.
2. The Red Chinese by their
tactics in recent months have be
come a kind of bogey-man to their
Asian neighbors: They crushed
the Tibetans and jittered even
peaceful India by slamming
troops right up against her
frontier.
In short, all Asia now has rea
son to look on Red China as a
menace. From the standpoint of
propaganda alone this is stupidity.
It seemed only a matter of time
before the Red Chinese got wise
to themselves. Apparently they
have now.
3. Their aggressiveness has been
pain in the neck of Premier
Nikila Khrushchev who has been
talking peace. They were spoiling
any mileage he hoped to get by
his opposite tactics. He may have
talked them into cutting out the
rough stuff at least temporarily.
But it's hard to believe Red
China has decided to be every
body's good neighbor. They
haven't been so far. It's possible
they've decided to quiet down.
But, judging from past perform
ance, it still looks like an act.

Officials Say Plot Smashed
To Assassinate Trujillo
The Alinniinc
By United Press International
Today is Friday, Jan. 29, the
29th day of the year, with 337
more days to follow in 1960.
The moon, is approaching Us
first quarter.
The morning stars arc Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn and Venus.
On this day in history:
In 1737, Thomas Paine, crusader
for American freedom, was born.
In 1889, crown Prince Rudolf of
Austria-Hungary . . . heir to the
Ilapsburg crown, killed his mis
tress, the Baroness Mane Vctsc-
ra, and then took his own life at
hunting lodge in Mayerling,
Austria.
In 1900, baseball's American
League was organized in Philadel
phia, with eight teams Bulfalo,
Chicago, Cleveland. Detroit, Indianapolis,-
Kansas City, Milwaukee
and Minneapolis.
A thought for today: Themas
Paine, whose writings stirred the
cause for American freedom,
said: "Those who expect to reap
the blessings of freedom must,
like men, undergo the fatigue of
supporting it."
WASHINGTON (AP)-Gcn. Ra
fael L. Trujillo was believed
here today to have successfully
mashed a widespread plot to as-
assinate him.
Reports that were fragmentary,
but from well qualified sources
said the Dominican strongman's
police arrested perhaps a thou
sand or more Dominicans about
week ago.
A conflicting version came
Thursday night from the Domini
can Republic, where Trujillo holds
control on news dispatches.
Col. John Abbes Garcia of the
Dominican Military Intelligence
Service denounced reports of
mass arrests as "maliciously
twjsted." He said 15 to 20 persons
were being held in connection with
an alleged effort by a Cuban to
help them make bombs and organ
ize Communist type cells.
The version reaching Washing
ton without Trujillo censorship
told of a conspiracy apparently
regarded by the Dominican gov
ernment as one of the most seri
ous in ihe 30 years of Trujillo s
rule.
Those arrested were said to
have included many from promi
nent families in the small Carib
bean country. Many were reported
jailed in a special detention camp
built outside Ciudad Trujillo, the
capital city. The police were said
to have arrested persons in other
cities besides the capital and to
have found hidden arms.
There was no evidence reported
here of involvement of Americans,
Cubans or other outsiders. Dom
inican police activity was said to
have been stepped up in weeks
immediately preceding the mass
arrests.
The State Department declined
comment.
Garcia identified the Cuban in
his account as Antonio Cesar Fa
bre de la Guardia, who he said
entered the Society of Jesus (Je
suits) but had never been or
dained.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) The no

worked out between Marlon
Brando and his ex-wife suits her
just fine.
"In the beginning," actress
Anna Kashfi .said Thursday, "he
used to visit Christian (the cou
ple's 19-month-old son) every
other day. You can imagine how
trying that was for me.
'Now the baby is taken to his
house by servants, twice a week,
and returned to me when the
visiting hours are over.
"We have no contact at any
time, and that is exactly the way
I want it."

India, a medical dispensary was
built to mark Queen Victoria's Dia

Red Envoys
Come To NY
For Goodwill
WASHINGTON (AP)-A delcga
tion of 25 Russians, including the
premiers of four Soviet republics,
arrive today in New York for a
swift-moving-goodwill visit to 10
states.
The Soviet group, the biggest
since Premier Nikita Khrush
chev's tour last year, is scheduled
to land at Idlewild Airport aboard
a Soviet TU114 jet airliner this
afternoon..
Heading the officials is Dmitri
Polyansky, premier of the Rus
sian Republic, a man who is also
a fast rising newcomer in Com
munist party ranks.
After a two-day stay in New
York, the group is to take off in
a chartered American commercial
airliner for a three-week 'tour of
factories, farms, museums and
universities.
In eight states, they will be
honor guests of the governors who
toured the Soviet Union last June.
In New York, the visitors ara
lo meet with Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller whom Radio Moscow
1ms repeatedly denounced as a
warmonger.
President Eisenhower probably
will meet with them when they
come to Washington Feb. 17 but
State Department officials said
this was not yet certain since the
entire tour is being handled by
Ihe International Institute of Ed
ucation, a nongovernmental organization.

WHEN YOU
DRIVE
CORVAIR,
THRIFT
GOES ALONG
FOR THE RIDE
Corvair's economy begins with its
initial low cost, and every mile you
drive is money in the pocket. Your gas
dollars will now go farther . . , because
the Corvair delivers miles and miles
and miles per gallon. And when you
change oil, the refill is only four quarts.
Because of Gorvair's low weight
(1,335 lbs. less than conventional
cars) and extra-low price, you'll real
ize added savings in many states in
licensing and insurance costs.
When winter comes, just let it.
Corvair's air-cooled six-cylinder en
gine rids you forever of antifreeze
bills. Corvair has no radiator so you
can forget aboiit leaks and worn hoses.
Important as economy is, it tells
only part of Corvair's glad story.
The aluminum engine in the rear
supplies willing power to the rear
wheels, giving superior traction when
it's needed most.
As you glide along, you'll marvel at
how easily the Corvair steers (no
power assistance needed there) and
the sure braking action front and rear.
That's the payoff on precise weight
distribution.
There's room enough for six adults
and the floor is practically flat for
remarkable comfort. A wonderfully
handy folding rear seat makes it
virtually a station sedan.
There's really nothing quite like
the ride you get in th,e Corvair. Inde
pendent suspension at every wheel,
Corvair's "spring quartet," wafts ytra
over bumps with feathery ease.
Why don't you have your Chev
rolet dealer introduce you to Corvair
today?
