COUP. NS-fSPAPER SSCTIOJJ GEN.REF. AND DOCUMENTS. DIV. The Coinnord PuzzTe mOn Page 9 Today Can Be Fascinating, Profitable For You In The i I f IT iiays U's By FRANK JENKINS Miss Margery Michelmore, the Peace Corps girl who broke inlo the Big News by writing the wrong kind of postcard in the wrong place and then DROPPING IT where it could be picked up by the wrong kind of person, is back in the U.S.A. Interviewed by a reporter, she says: ( i "If 1 had the chance to rewrite the postcard, I'd write: 'Having wonderful time, wish you were here.' Sure, I wrote it. I dropped it. It was picked up and mimeo graphed and distributed to the students. It was carelessness on my part. "I think it offended the sensi bilities of the Nigerian students, When they read the postcard, without any reference to its tone, it was an OFFENSIVE postcard. But I didn't mean any offense." Good for Margery. She's all right. She comes clean in the pinches. She takes the blame for her own mistake even ab solving the Nigerian postman from reading the postcards and then blabbing. By her frank con fessions, she proves she can learn by experience. But- I can't help feeling that a girl of her caliber could do more good for her country in the un derdeveloped countries of the world in some field other than the rather sentimentalist Peace corps say as a nurse in the of . fice of a dedicated medical mis sionary, such as. Congressman Walter Judd of Minnesota was for many long and devoted years. More human nature in the news: Traffic through the new home of Mrs. Melba Mitchell in Bonner Springs, Kansas, hasn't worn out her wall-to-wall carpet. The car pet is ON HER LIVING ROOM CEILING. How did it get THERE? Well, Mrs. Mitchell says that all her life she wanted Wall-to-wall carpeting, but with five sons nrt a dnuehter the traffic in and out of the house would wreck a good carpet in just no time at all. So' she decided to put it on the ceiling. She had the work . men arrolv a heavv adhesive to the ceiling and roll the carpet on in three-loot widths. . Now, she says, she can sit in her rocking chair and admire it and love it and feel wonder ful because she has it and it stays just as good as it was at the beginning. Silly? Well, it might be silly any where but in the U.SA., and especially in the state of Kansas In East Germany, for example. she wouldn't have been PER MITTED to do it. The communist commisars and such who run things over there just simply wouldn't have stood tor it. But over here, in free enter prise America, where she wants her carpet is her own private business. If she wants it on her ceiling, that's her affair. She earned the money to pay tor it, and that's that. .Personally, J don't 'think I'd care for a wall-to-wall carpet on the ceiling. But I'd be willing to go to war in defense of Mrs. Mitchell's right to put her wall-to-wall carpet WHEREVER SHE WANTS IT even if she wants it on the ceiling. West Point Hunts Plebe WEST POINT. N Y. UPI) West Point officials today awaited public help in locating an 18- year-old plebe who disappeared without a trace more tnan six weeks ago. Paul M. Weaver, who came to the U.S. Military Academy July 5 after having been president of his class at Portsmouth, Ohio, and center on the football team, was reporting missing Aug. 30. ' His disappearance was revealed only Thursday, apparently be cause all clues to his whereabouts proved fruitless. Academy officials, still baffled by the disappearance almost 12 years ago of another Ohio cadet, turned to Weaver's father, his in structors and his girl friend for information about the youth. Paul M. Weaver Sr. of Ports mouth, said his son might be working on a farm because he had a desire to become a veterin arian. The father also said Weav er knew how to operate several business machines.

(API- President Kennedy's chief econo mist told industry today that 1962 may bring the "critical period" when renewed inflation could halt the advance toward a full-employment economy. Dr. Walter W. Heller, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, appealed for restraint in price and wage de cisions. He spoke at the fall meet ing of the Business Council, at tended by the heads of nearly 100 of the country's biggest corpora tions. The prospect for price stability in the immediate future is good. Heller said in his address, but the business upsurge could stall next year as it did two years ago- short of full utilization of men and machines. "By the mjddle of next year we will probably have not reached full employment but we will have reached about that stage of the business cycle that we reached in 1959 and did not then manage to surpass, Heller said. The test next year will be whether the surge of recovery will continue toward full employment or whether a revival, of creeping inflation will hamper our efforts to use the full potential of the economy m the service ol our national goals. "Every person who wants the United States to continue to dis charge its world responsibilities, and every person who favors full recovery and faster rate of economic growth, is tied by the bonds of logic to the cause of price stability. The business group, headed by Roger M. Blough, board chairman of the United States Steel Corp. heard Heller ; praise Kennedy's letter to .Blough and 11 other major steel producers, asking them to forego a proposed Oct, steel price Increase. , . Volta Dam Considered WASHINGTON (AP)-The Unit ed States is sending a special mission to Ghana next week to review U.S. participation in the $296 million Volta River develop ment project there. President Kennedy announced today the designation of Clarence B. Randall, president of the In land Steel Corp., to head the mis sion. Randall, who had served also as a special assistant to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was named a consultant to the government on special foreign as sistance projects. The White House said Randall will leave next Tuesday for Ac cra, Ghana, "to lead a special mission to review U.S. participa tion in the Volta River project." The project calls for construe tion of a hydroelectric dam and generating plant at Akosombo, Ghana, and a privately owned aluminum smelter at Tema. The White House said the Unit ed States has made no firm com mitment of any kind for sharing the project's cost, but discussions have revolved around a $37 mil lion U.S. loan toward the cost of the dam $27 million from the. Development Loan Fund and $10 million from the U.S. Export Import Bank. Dream Comes True For Happy Camel Driver WASHINGTON (AP)-The smil ing camel driver from Pakistan had his big dream come true to day, he saw America's "king" President Kennedy. "I have met the man of the world," Bashir Ahmad said as he emerged from Kennedy's White House office. Although the meeting with the President had not been arranged in advance. Bashir had hoped that he would get to see Kennedy. The grinning Pakistani was tak en to the President's office after a half-hour tour of the White House with Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson, wife of the vife president.

That was tile diplomatic assess ment here -today after the star tling disclosure that Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai in a speech to the 22nd Soviet Communist party Congress -Thursday had se verely criticized Premier Khrusn chev's condemnation of the tiny Communist nation on the Adri atic. The Albanian regime sides with the Chinese Communists in their contention that war is still a le gitimate weapon to spread com munism. In wnat western od servers considered an implied criticism of Peiping's rulers, Khrushchev, in opening the party congress Tuesday, had accused Premier Enver Hoxha and other Albanian Communist leaders of failing to support his policy of peaceful coexistence with the non- U.S. Bases Activated PARIS (AP) American Air Force officials said today tour U.S. bases in France will be put back in action as part of the de fense buildup in Western Europe. In addition to the base at Chau mont, whose reactivation was an nounced Tuesday, they are at Chambley, Etain and Phalsbourg The decision to put the bases back into action represents change in U.S. policy. The four bases were placed on a standby, housekeeping basis two years ago, when President Charles de Gaulle refused to per mit the stockpiling of U.S. atomic bombs on French soil. This was in retaliation for U.S. refusal to share atomic secrets with France. Such sharing is barred by Ameri can law. Through his interpreter, Bashir said the President had asked him how his visit was going. The cam el driver said "wonderful" and thanked Kennedy for having sent Johnson to Karachi. "What will you tell your neigh bors about the President?" a re porter asked the 48-year-old camel driver as he stood on the White House steps in his black fur hat, long black frock coat, and baggy white trousers.

' Bashir is visiting here at the in vitation of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, whom he refers to as deputy king. Johnson met him during a visit to Pakistan. President Kennedy is the king in Bashir s eyes.

Key Witness Threatened NEW YORK (AP)-A key wit ness in a purported plot to fix a federal court criminal case for $25,000 was reported under heavy FBI guard today after receiving threats by telephone and mail. The witness was Identified by the New York Post and New York Journal-American as a doctor The newspaper said FBI agents were guarding him at his Long Island home and at his office in Manhattan.

(AP) Six countries close to the Soviet nuclear testing area formally called on the United Nations to day to appeal to the Soviet Union to cancel its proposed explosion of a 50-megaton bomb. The new resolution was laid be fore the General Assembly's main political committee by. Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Japan, Nor way and Sweden as that body de bated steps to halt further testing of nuclear weapons. It noted with deep concern Pre mier Khrushchev s announce-! ment that a 50-megaton bomb would be exploded before the end of the month. It "solemnly" ap pealed for cancellation of the plans. The resolution was circulated to the 101 members of the commit tee this morning. Representatives of Denmark, Japan and Canada were expected to press for priority action later in the day. The fust speaker at the morn ing session was Indian Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Menon, who pressed for a new voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing despite Western ' insistence that such a ban would be a trap unless guaranteed by a treaty and in spection machinery. Menon told the committee that both the Western powers andl the Russians must share respon sibility for resumption of tests. Diplomats predicted overwhelm- ing support for the six-nation ap- peal to Khrushchev.

With only 25 per cent of the total remaining, concerted efforts were planned in the outlying county communities, starting Mon day. Preliminary reports re vealed that some work was al ready in process. Hunter pointed out that the county-wide quotas do not reflect the moneys raised through large firms in the differ ent areas under the direction of Charles Burman. Al McSwain, personnel manager for Johns Manville, general chair man for the North County area, said that Mrs. Ruth Hagelstcin, Algoma, reported $159, already ex ceeding last year's donations. At Chemult Mrs. Lewis Rice, Jack Grewell and Dallas Southorland reported $100 to date. Dr, R. I, Kerwood, Chiloquin chairman, reported $45, while Mrs. Leslie Yates in Gilchrist reported $77. Bob Latzy and Babe Downey, chairmen in the Fort Klamath and Crater Lake area, have turned in $233. v In the south county area, gen eral chairman John Venard, man ager of Merrill Branch, First Na tional Bank, reported that Matt Obenchain, Bly chairman, has al ready reported $411, while Mrs. Horner DeLamater of the Henley Midland area showed $97 for i start. Other groups begin work Monday Telephone ly decided to leave the initiative to nations more likely to be af fected by fallout from the giant blast. Several U.N. delegates have ex pressed the suspicion that Khrush chev had no intention of setting off the bomb despite his dramatic announcement before the Soviet Communist party Congress Tues day. They believe the Soviet lead er, Knowing me alarm his an nouncement would arouse, intends to let the full impact sink in, then, as a magnanimous gesture, say he has decided for the sake of world harmony to heed t h e appeals. Arms experts have pointed out that there is little military value in exploding such a superbomb. They say that after test bombs reach a certain size, they furnish no useful information.

" A British airliner, on which Miss Michelmore was bound from London to Bermuda, was diverted here because of weather. She said she had intended no offense to Nigeria in writing tho postcard, which described squalor she encountered there. She said she liked both Nigeria and' the Nigerian people. It was just carelessness on my part," she said. "I merely wrote a postcard which I dropped. It was picked up and mimeographed and copies were distributed to the students at the University College at Ibadan." A number of students demon strated in protest at her descrip tion of the country. But, she said, some Nigerian students had ex pressed sympathy to her.

But the New York Times, quot ing Western diplomatic sources at the United Nations, said the Unit ed States and perhaps some other Western powers had persuaded Chiang Kai-shek's government not to veto Outer Mongolia because such action would likely step up the drive in the United Nations to give Nationalist China's seat to the Chinese Communists.
