SALISBURY. Southern Rhode
sia INEA) There it. unhappily,
nothing to be learned in Rhode
sia about the infinite possibility
of man except, maybe, his capa
city to kill and die for a lost
cause.
This reporter has been assured
by dedicated and thoughtful men
on both sides of the fearful battle
line drawn here between black
African and white European that
Rhodesia's future will have to
be proved by blood.
One of the best educated Afri
cans in Salisbury, a man as
much at home in the U.N. as in
his nation's underground national
ist movement, says:

"This year the violence begins
in earnest. There is no other
way of dislodging the white man
from his obstinacy."
For the defense, an elderly
British-born businessman who has
invested hii life in building Salis
bury into a gleaming, modern
city out of the jungle, says:
"If they want to move in ana
take over, they'll have to shoot
me down first. I'll fight them
across my garden and down to
my hearth.
The question of who will gov
ern Southern Rhodesia seems to
have no middle ground.
And no contest in real life.

up his reserves, the showdown
in Rhodesia may be bloody but
at least it will be short.
Nor does the Republic of South
Africa next door offer much of
a citadel with her own problems
of an overwhelming African pop
ulation majority now taking ten
tative steps toward challenging
the stern supremacy of the whites
Besides, much of Rhodesia's white
population is from South Africa
emigrants who left because they
could not agree with so strong a
racial policy and are loath to
turn to it now.
Of the tough Rhodcsian Front
white government led by Winston
Field, Africans say: "He's a very
charming man. And wc- know
where we stand with the govern
mentnowhere."
Of the now-crumbling Fedcra
Hon of Northern and soutnern
Rhodesia and Nyasaland, nation
alists admit it is an excellent
theory, but impractical with
Southern Rhodesia in the hands
of a white minority.
The pressures are too great on
both sides for either black man
or w hite to ' be moderate. S
African government official
Chad Chipunza, for example,
doesn't think his people are rea
dy to govern themselves yet.
"Democracy has no place in
the tribal set-up, and 97 per cent
of the. Africans here are still tied
to their tribes, not understanding
in the least the issues involved,"
Chipunza says.
"A start should be made im
mediately by dropping the color
bars in education, access to pub
lic places and land ownership.
But as to giving every m a n a
vote right away. ...
You realize that my life is In
danger among my own people for
saying these things."

IM.W. Clsscll Co.," which strikes
1 line as being a fair appraisal
had charge of choosing the au
thor of the most quotable quote
of the week, I would give the
award to Daniel Commerce of,
the Drapery Department.
Oops, I mean Draper Daniels
of the Commerce Department.
For reasons that will soon be
come apparent, I am having a
little trouble with names today.
Anyhow, the quote that would
receive my citation was Daniels
comment that the United States
has finally managed "to get
little sex into the export trade
Explains Remark
Before you ring for the vice
squad, however, let me explain
that Daniels did not have in mind
what you might bo thinking he
had in mind. Ilo had in mind
Mrs. Eloise Cisscll Lewis of Lou
isville, Ky.
Mrs. Lewis is a business unm
an. A press release describes her
as "the lovely blonde boss of the
PPL Bond
Trade Set
PORTLAND (UPD - New Pa
cific Power & Light Company
bonds will be exchanged April 1
for seven scries of outstanding
bonds of the former California
Oregon Power Company, it was
announced by Paul B. McKec,
PP&L board chairman.
The two companies merged in
1961.
"Tlio Copco bonds were scat
tered among noo holders through
out the United Slates and Cana
da." McKec said. "Initially, many
observers were doubtful the ex
change plan could be accom
plished. It was an unusual un
dertaking. Relatively few of the
bonds were registered. It was a
major tajik to locate the holders
so our people could get in touch
with them."
When she is all dolled up, she
makes a very fetching tycoon in
deed. But it was in tribute to
her business acumen, as well as
her beauty, that Daniels ad
dressed his remark.
At a luncheon here this week,
the Commerce Department pre
scnted Mrs. Lewis with a presl.
dential "E" award or her
achievement in developing over
seas markets for her company.
Quests Are Relayed
The luncheon was preceded by
a cocktail interlude, so most of
the guests were wonderfully re
laxed. Mrs. Lewis referred to the
toastmnstcr. radio - television
commentator Hiysun Rash, as
Ryson Brash."
A few moments later. Rash
arose and introduced Rep. Frank
A. Stubhlefield. D-Kv.. as "the
honorable Frank Stumhlcficld." I
enjoyed the program immensely.
mis. Lewis comiiany manufac
tures dry cleaning equipment and
one of the Items that has been
selling well overseas is a "pant
stopper." There are two ways to
view that word.
When I first saw it In print 1
viewed it as "pant-stopper." But
l was wrong. It should be viewed
as "pants-topper."
panlstnpper is a device that
makes it easier to press the top
part of a pair of trousers, which
sometimes have tricky pleats.
Irouser pleats vary from coun
try to country, you see. and the
panlstoppcr developed by Mrs.
Lewis' company is adjustable.
which is why it is such a good
export item.
A couple of male siieakers at
the luncheon noted th.it the com
pany also makes a "form finish-;
Wlu'ii they said that, thev

that make me what my people
call me a dirty sell-out?' "
On the same side of moderation
are the whites who talk hopefully
of multi-racial government with
half the legislative scats filled by
Africans.
"No," says Nathan Shamuyari
ra, former newsman, petitioner to
the U.N. and now a lecturer at
the University of Rhodesia and
Nyasaland. "The only kind of
multi-racial state that can work
is with the Africans in control and
the Europeans at the bottom.
"Let them set the social and
economic pace and leave politics
to us. The Europeans must realize
at last that they are a minority
I heir responsibility is to serve
and impart skills and knowledge
to the population.
"The Africans' responsibility
m fact, utmost necessity is to
wrest power from the Europeans."
But can they run the country,
should they succeed in their
quest?
"Well," says African nationalist
Stanlake Samkange, "It will be

run, wnn a considerable saving
in having one integrated school
system and no need for so large
a security force."
But as to the mechanics of ad
ministration, Shamuyarira says
the job will be almost impossible
without the aid of the white man
who has kept the African out of
the vital jobs of civilization elec
trician, engineer, etc.
Will the white man stay and
help?
This reporter was able to turn
up very few who would com
mit themselves with one notable
exception: Dr. Terence Ranger,
former lecturer in history at the
university, who has been expelled
from the country.
"Don't think for a minute that
I'm fighting the African's battle
for him" Dr. Ranger said in Dar
es Salaam. Tanganyika. "I like
Rhodesia and I want to live there
after the change comes."
Only few men like Ranger have
served to show the Rhodesia
African that the battle is not pure
ly racial but rather a matter of
individual feeling and conviction
'It is some hope," says a uni
versity colleague of Dr. Ranger.
"But not very much. An Afri
can government here will doubt
less have to bring a whole new
population of white men to help
it. Much of the present white
population will certainly leave or
be forced to leave."
Most of them, of course, know
it, -whether or not they will ad
mit it. The prospect of staying
to be mastered hy yesterday's
servants no matter how Bibli
cal the retribution is abhorrent
to them.
But in all their fury and resolve
to fight -to the finish, the final
act of revenge is never breathed:
destroying the civilization they
have built in the jungle.
"Burn a building? Cut a tele
phone cable?" said a horrified
matron on the heels of a com
parison between African and ape.
Good heavens, no! Why, it
would deny everything one lives
one's life for."

Astronaut Plans To Photo
Zodiacal Light Phenomena
JACKSONVILLE, Kla. (UPD-
Astronaut Gordon Cooper will
tuke advantage of "unparalleled
opportunity" to view light phc
nomena and capture them or
camera during his forthcoming
space flight, it was revealed
Tuesday night.
Some of the projects planned
for Cooper, at least in relation to
light, were explained in a speech
written by fellow astronaut M.
Scott Carpenter and read by Dr.
R. Voas. assistant to the director
of the Manned Space Craft Cen
ter at Houston, Tex.
Carpenter was unahlc to make
a scheduled appearance before a
meeting of the Optical Society of
America so Voas substituted for
him and delivered the astronaut's
speech.
One of the main projects on
Cooper's 22-orbit sweep of the
earth in about six weeks will he
attempt to photograph the
phenomena of zodiacal light.
According to CariK'nler, Cooper
will switch off the lights in his
space capsule and attempt to pho
tograph the mysterious glow that
brightens the sky just before sun
rise and after sunset.
"The astronaut has an un
paralleled opportunity to view
such phenomena since there is no
scattering of light by the atmos
phere and such dim light phe
nomena will stand out with great
er contrast against the blackness
uf space," Voas read.
Carpenter also disclosed that
Cooper would: '
Attempt to photograph jctti-!
soiled balloon to determine a
measurement of a descending vis.
ual threshold in space. This was!
previously planned for CarM?n-j
tor's flight, but failed because it
was impossible to jettison the bal
loon.
NEW YORK (UPH-Have you
given your banker a helping hand
lately?
The means are at hand for do
ing it. At the same time, you
would be helping yourself to
maintaining friendly relations
with Uncle 'Sam's tax gatherers.
Just get yourself a number, if
you haven't one already.
Since late last year, most bank
counters and tellers' window
ledges have sprouted stacks of
small white information sheets,
explaining the need for identify
ing numbers by persons who
draw more than $10 interest from
accounts in any one bank.
Starting with the next tax per
iod, your banker will be required
to send a report to you and to
the government of any interest on
an account that comes to more
than $10 a year. The reporting,
established in a tax revision law
passed last year, uses a number
for each taxpayer. It may be a
Social Security number; those
who do not have a Social Secur
ity number must apply to the In
ternal Revenue Service for some
other identifying number. The
law requires that the taxpayer
make the number available to
his bank upon request.
The American Bankers Associa
tion reports, however, that even
with a fairly intensive campaign
being waged by banks to solicit
the numbers, many persons have
not yet complied and some banks
are having a hard time getting
a number for each account.
It is an expensive job for the
banks. Extra mailing is required
of most: the proportion varies
according to the nature of the
banks. Savings banks have a
heavy load of extra mailing and
bookkeeping to do in connection
with the requirement.
Budgets Okayed
For 2 Agencies
SALEM (UPD - The state
agencies for farming and mining
were praised today as their budg
ets passed the House with only
minor changes and were sent to
the Senate.
The House approved a $2.8 mil
lion general fund budget for the
Agriculture Department, just $22,
000 less than the sum proposed
by the governor.
A $415,000 budget, cut just $2,
000, was approved for the Depart
ment of Geology and Mineral In
dustries. Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-Her-miston,
said the Ways and Means
Committee found both agencies
were doing a good job and pre
sented good budgets.

Treasury Certificates j
Said Destroyed In Error
SAN FRANCISCO H'PD - The
Federal Reserve Bank announced
today that $7.5 million in nego
tiable treasury certificates dis
appeared from the bank's double
vaults last summer, apparently
destroyed in "a million-to one
error." Eliot J. Swan, president of the
bank, said the missing securities
were 12 U.S. certificates of in
debtedness, seven of which were
made out for $1 million each and
five for $100,000 each.
"We have completely eliminated
the theory that the certificates
have been stolen." Swan told a
news conference hastily called af
ter the San Francisco examiner
disclosed the loss.
Swan said it was believed the
certificates had been destroyed
the transfer of envelopes in
which they had been stored in
double-security vaults here.
The certificates were last seen
during an audit last May, and
were discovered missing early in
August.
'At that time, the Board of Di
rectors of the bank, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Re
serve System, the Treasury De
partment and the Secret Service
were notified," Swan said.
'An exhaustive investigation
has been made by all concerned.
There has been absolutely no evi
dence to indicate that the certifi
cates have been intentionally re
moved from the bank vaults.
"The coupons attached to the
securities were due Nov. 15, 1962.
And the fact that none were pre
sented for payment strengthened
the virtual certainty that the se
curities were destoyed and that
there will be no monetary loss."
Asked whether anyone would be
disciplined or changes in proced
ure would be taken, Swan replied:
"In our opinion it was a million-to-one
error and so no dis
ciplinary action or changes in pro
cedure were made."
The Federal Reserve Bank was
holding the bonds as collateral for
a loan from an unidentified mem
ber bank. The envelope enclosing
the certificates bore an account
ing to record credits and debits
on the member bank's account.
When the form filled up, a new
envelope was used and a blank
form attached.
Swan said it was possible that
in making use of a new envelope,
the bonds were not removed from
the old one, which was burned.
Swan said that if the bonds did
get into circulation they would be
paid. But the Federal Reserve
Bank would make up the loss,
not the member bank.
After the May 15. 1963, matur
ity date passes, he said, the
Treasury Department probably
will make a transfer to the San
Francisco Federal Reserve Bank's
account to replace the bonds.
