By FR&NK JENKINS Because Squaw Valley is only a hop, a skip and a jump from our Slate of Jefferson, we have fol lowed the Winter Olympic Games of this modern Olympiad with im mensQ interest. So, perhaps, it mighrbe a good idea fo fill in here the backgrounds of this old est sports event in the world. Farther back than history re cords, some of the people of the Greek Peloponnesus began to hold contests in fool racing. (The Pelo ponnesus is the andent name of the southern peninsufa of Greece. I The races were held on the plain of O.ympia, in the state of Elis. This lestival gradual became an affair of national importance and was celebrated by all the Greek slates. In the course of time lO.ng. wrestling, jumping, discus tin owing, chariot racjag and other athletic exercises wefe added to the original foot race. Those who entered the contests had to snow a name free from civil or personal dishonor. Early contestants had to be of pure Greek blood but later, under the rule of ti. "Romans both Greeks and Romans took rtt. Since Home by then was coming to be the master of the world, the Olym pic Games came to include a wide range of rationalities. Another interesting Qint is that e.irly in their history a general TRUCE was called during t h c holding of the Olympic Games. The early Greeks were a cantank erous lot. given to fighting arrig Ihfimsnlvr It was rccognizcOnat these civ il wars weakened the Greeks. Hene the truce while the games were in progress. Sijt might be taid, the first Olymi'O Games were the f.rst recognition inai in ternational cooperation is the first essential of world peace. O These early Greeks also discov ered that in CLEAN SPOUT na tions can find a common interest. That was an interestii discovery. If you vO-hed the wind-up ol the Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley yesterday, you must have rioted that sportsmen of many na tions, including Americans and Russians, came together in a com mon enterprise and in which good (sportsmanship prevailed and NO FIGHTS BROKE OUT. The Olympic Games were held every four years, and this four- year mOd . was known as Olympiad. The first known Olym piad began in 77l B.C., and the Greeks dated all events from 'that time. The Games endured, at four year interval, until A.D. 3f)4, w hen the Ronatf emperor jieo- pgr. ene osius forbadcnem, ThcOanished from history for 1500 years, when an international committee made arrangements to revive them and to hold the con tests every four years in different countries. The first revival was in Paris in 1900. They were aban doned in 1016 during World War I and again in 1940 during World War II. In Qnclusion I suDoose that, like everyone else, you have been acutely dis appointed by the relatively poor showing made by Americans dur- ing the Winter Olympics session that has just been concluded. We have reason to be disappoint ed and perhaps a little uneasy. The rQon lies in the history ofl Ancieni ureece. i ne ft u 1 1 c h l :cks were a bold and brash people. As did we in our early history, they tended to model their thinking and their actions on the motto that the bigger they are the harder they fall. But As (dfir civilization advanced, as they began to have more and more creature comforts, as Ihey began to rely on SLAVES, their fiber deteriorated. Were beginning to rely on slaves mechanical slaves, not hu man slaves. But our mechanical slaves may be doing for us what human slaves did for the Ancient Greeks. They may be weakening cur fiber. They may be weakening the bold and brash belief of our early ancestors that THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL, One hopes not but history tells us it could be true, Nehru, En-Lai Date Meeting NEW DELHI. India (API-In dian Prime Minister Nehru and Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai today agreed to an April meeting in New Delhi to discuss their bor der dispute. Both leaders made clear they regarded the talks as exploratory with the prospect of setting in mo tion negotiations for settling the frontier feud which has brought bloodshed. Nchru'a announcement that he as agreeable to meeting Chou "sometime In April" drew ap plause in Parliament. Price Five Cents 14 Pagea Nikita Poses ! New Threats For Berlin JAKARTA, Indonesia 'API-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev today said the Soviet Union will sign a separate peace treaty giv ing East Germany control of West Berlin if the Big Four summit talks in May fail tu reach ugrc-c-nwjiLon an over-all German set tlement. Khrushchev poke at a news conference following his return from Bogor, where he agreed to lend Indonesia a 2'iO-million-dollar credit in an effort to check this Southeast Asian nation's slow drift Westward. The Soviet threat to sign a sep arate ;ace treaty with East Ger- iny never has been abandoned, and in recent weeks ha been re peated at intervals. But this was the first time Khrushchev had tied it to the outcome of the May sum mit conference. "The question of Berlin is one of eliminating vestiges of World War II," the Soviet leader dc clared.. "We cannot talk about peace without eliminating these vestiges. Khrushchev said the Soviet Un ion is trying to convince the West of Ve need for a peace treaty on ail Germany. If this is not con cluded, he said, the Soviet Union will sign a separfiu agreement with East Germany. If that happens, he continued all agreements of World War II will cease to be valid and West Berlin automatically will become a part of East Germany.

AP The United States, Britain and France have decided to resume flying the air corridors between West Berlin and West Germany at altitudes above j().000 feet. This is a prac tice with which Soviet fighter planes have interfered in the pasU i tic Soviet Union is being noti fied of the decision, it was report- 6"d CrcJ3c!5vT."s!herrcc:icie r-j' misunderstanding on Moscow s part of what is involved. The three Westerfi powers, with about 111.000 troops to maintain as a protective force in West Ber lin, have long insisted that there is no limitation on the altitude at which their supply and transport aircraft can fly into and out of West Berlin. The air corridors traverse the territory of eommu- nkt t-'nsl fiprmanv ThP Soviet Union, by contrast,' has claimed a 10,000-foot ceiling was established by Qfreement be tween Soviet and Allied aO'ori tics years ago. Moscow contends that O.y. flight above that limit is a violation which can subject the high-altitude aircraft to the at tention of Soviet, fighter planes. The issue wasQSharply drawn last March 27 and April 15 when several U.S. turboprop planes fUO above 10,000 feet in the assigned corridors over East Germany. So viet fighter planes made passes around the U.S. aircraft. After an cxchangQof accusalic:is between Moscow and the Western capitals, the practice of flying above 10. 000 feet was halted although the right to do so was firmly asserted by the IIS., British and French governments. The Western nations called off the flights as a prrQiution lest it look like the West was deliberate ly seeking an incident.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29. 1960 Plane Search Around Shasfa-Dunsiftuir A coordinated search for two Air Force men missing in a pri vate plane centered about t h e Mount Shasta-Dunsmuir area to day. Portions of the search area al ready have been covered in a two day attempt to lot-art a missing single-Oainc T-34 plane with Air Force Capl. Norman Morgan Jr. and A. l.C. Robert E. Brown aboard. Both men leit Larson Air r"rcr Base, Spokane, Washington, Fri day afternoon, bound lor Hamil ton Air Force Base and San Fran cisco. They refueled at Kingslcy Field and continued their flight at 9:15 p.m. Friday. West To Offer Militia Plan LONDON (UPI) The Western powers plan to propose to Russia the creation of an international police forcc-fharged with keeping the peace everywhere in the world. The olan is part of a three- stage global disarmament pro gram now being prepared for pro sentatifti at the Geneva disarma ment conference March 15, din matic sources sO today. The international police force would come into operation under the plan when the leading world powers have totally disarmed. Both the Western and the Soviet plans envisage total disarmament as their ultimate aim. But tlO Western allies feel that this cannot safely be done without providing an adequate internation al force to police the peace in a disarmed world. Under the allied disarmament plan, now in0proparation for the Geneva arms cut negotiations, the world powers would disarm total ly under foolproof international controls. Telephone TU (-Slit Continuing The plarQwas reported missing at 55 minuO after midnight Fri day by the flight service tower -m after the plane had not been heard from and jis fuel supply would have been Txhausted.

KASltU iKlain ath Air Search and Rescue Unit I p'ancs flew as far north as Cra ter Lake aid as lar south as Mount Shasla and (Tuiss Mountain Air Force planes, directed by the Fourth Air Rescue Force at iiam- i'.'.on, have searched the flight pal- crn to San Francisco and the Bav Area. L ston said 12 KASltU members villi planes voluiOered to join the search within an hour after c mv rorce rcquesiea neip auiuia.v. They searciyd a northern block hounded by ..Klamath Falls,- Cor ner Reservoir, Yamscy Bulte.Ond Crater Lake, and a southern block bounded by Weed, Mt. Shasla, Glass Mountain andj'opco Lake. The search today was centered in the neighborhood of Dunsmuir, Liston said, because an Air Force plane reported an avalanche about five miles northwest of Dunsmin and six miles southwest of Mount Shasta. "It's conceivable that a plane could have hit the mountain and started an avalanche," Liston said. "Expert climbers tell us there have been no avalanche conditions there inOic last couple of weeks." All reports were followed. KASRU searched in the north Sun day because a plane reportedly circled Chiloquin about 2 a.m. Sat urday. It was unlikely that this was the missing plane. Liston said, but it could Qve been. It would have had just enough fuel to stay aloft, and it might have run into bad weather north of Red Bluff and turned back. Another lip followed was a re ported plane circling above Mount Shasta and Weed about 10 p.m. Friday. No sign of that plane has been seen. The two men aboard were fly ing a Bccchcraft - made plane termed obsolete by the Air Force and leased to Aero Clubs semi- civilOn flying clubs established at Air Force bases for private fly ing purposes.
