Problems Out Of This World An entire vast new field for worriers amateur and professional is opening for exploration in the space age. What about the rocketing of radio active junk into space, thus turning our im mediate section of the cosmos into a deadly scrap pile? Will the first man on the moon be able to claim Luna for his nation? What about (alleged) damage to other nations from one country's space activities? How high is "up"? At what height I will a satellite, rocket ship or other space yehicle infringe on nations over which it : passes? Who will establish rules of the road for space travelers?

Bob Hope's famous advice to college : -graduates about to go out into the world j;"Don't" may need some revision this spring. ;- For it happens that many companies are planning to hire more graduates than they did year ago. Starting salaries are going up. One Electronics company is offering $700 a month i'.to an engineer, aged 21. Another firm wants : lo pay $8,700 a year to a top-ranking business school graduate getting his M.A. Though by ' :no means all the top-ranking students are get ting such offers, the general picture is bright. Youth, we suspect, probably takes those starting pay levels pretty much as a matter of course. Just as many spring graduates not so many years ago took for granted and were . glad to get offers of jobs starting at sub stantially less.

Abetting An Aggressor To The Editor split schedules, high budgets, and expanding facilities will not de crease, but rather increase unless the citizens of this community become more realistic in their ap proach to education. If the citizens want more enter tainment in school, they must pro vide the money, the room and the teachers. In my opinion we should have the best education we can afford, and draw a sharp line be tween education and entertain ment. I am against including golf ing, skiing, bowling etc. in our high school curriculum.

No idle questions, these. They'll be ex plored tentatively at a conference on the Law of Space and of Satellite Communications at Northwestern University School of Law May 1-2. What is going to result, one of these times, is codification of space law, supplied with teeth for enforcement by international agreement. The whole subject is one for delighted speculation, by earthbound types and imme diately suggests, one question: Will they per mit interplanetary police to hide speed meters behind asteroids? . Now he's threatening the new state of Malaya. The latest inside dope from the man aged news centers is to the effect that we may supply arms to Sukarno, to keep the Russians from doing the same thing. This would enable Sukarno to continue his aggressions with the latest American weap ons. It would lengthen his supply line a trifle, but the propaganda value of this would be immense to Sukarno, that Is. starting salaries than their dads did because they're smarter scholastically, more person able, or because they scored higher on apti tude tests. Well, that may in some instances be true. But there's a more prosaic explanation. Companies offering high salaries are doing so because the competition for talent is so keen. If they can afford it, it's largely because preceding the Class of '63 is a long line of people from management on down who by working to raise productivity and earnings, by attracting investors, together have made possible today's high rewards for the untried. Whether they all realize it or not, the new graduates are getting more than good pay; they're also getting a chance to expand and make even more productive a system that, despite forces antagonistic to it, remains remarkably resourceful. If they do realize that, they may even be glad they did not have to go out into the world. - the expensive entertainment fea tures of our curriculum. We must be realistic and not increase the educational lax load on our indus try and property owners in Klam ath Falls. Our outlook should be for strong academic courses which prepare our students for further cducat ion. One of the basis for the prob lems at KU Is the special facilities and each of these should bo given close attention by citizen groups lo see what should be excluded or included. If a. study of this type was undertaken, 1 believe there would be little cause for an ex tended, split or modified split schedule. In my opinion the classroom teacher providing the actual teaching deserves more consider ation and recognition. It apgiears to me that citizens should look carefully at the difference in ad ministration, supervisor's and classroom teacher's pay. I believe there are inequities here and. if elected, I intend to study this area. 1 want the best education we can aflord for our children. Marvin Furlow. Candidate for KUHS Board No. 2 Attitude As a teacher taking a "bus man's holiday" I had occasion to visit Klamath Union High School today. The size of the building and large number of students housed there impressed me, but most of all 1 noticed the coutlosy of the students to each oilier in crowded halls and stairways. Contrary to sonic opinions I have heard expressed locally, 1 feel that the students and faculty should be commended for the friendly and cooperative atmosphere which was evident all through the building. They are making the best of a sit uation k nerc any roughness could be disastrous, and it takes this kind of attitude to enable so many to live together at all, and the attitude is nut one that can le produced by strict discipline or tight control. It comes from inside tile people. Your people both faculty and students are doing a good job there. Hit mi' 0 Johnson Nasser By PETER EDSON Washington Correspondent Newspaper Enterprise Assn. WASHINGTON ( NE A Presi dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of the le-United Arab Republic has for tnt past 10 years been the movie star symbol of modernism in the Arab world. It was Nasser who nationalized the Suez Canal. It was Nasser who -according to the Arab version defeated the British, French and Israelis in 1956. It is Nasser who now emerges as leader uf the modern, urban Arab revolution. While there is much that is alarming in this development, American observers believe Presi dent Nasser has changed consid erably. In the 1950s Nasser's primary contacts were with Chairman Khrushchev of Russia and Presi dent Tito of Yugoslavia. Nasser also had close relations with Prime Minister Nehru of India and the neutrals. He made a contract with Rus sia to build the Aswan dam, and he accepted Communist bloc arms aid. As late as 1958 the Russians may have thought they stood to make big gains in the Near East. They supported the Arabs against Israel while the United States adopted a policy of trying to sup port both sides at the same time. What Russia may have under estimated was the strength of Arab nationalism. Russia did nt count on Nasser's continued ban against the Communist, Party in Egypt. Neither did she count on anlicommunism as a factor in the Iraq revolt. In the last few years Nasser has been quietly strengthening his ties with the West. It began with "Maybe Them Vietcong Didn't Realize You Are Just an 'Adviser Sir!" n.v SYDNEY J. HARRIS III my city of Chicago, which I dearly love, despite its syndicate bombings, its strong-armings, its dope-pushers, its prostitutes, its policy rackets, its slum land lords, and similar civic excres cences, a peculiar thing hap pened last month. A night club comedian w a s found guilty by a jury of utter ing obscene words in his perform ance, and was sentenced by a judge to a year in jail and given a 51.000 fine. This splendid example of civic indignation is only slightly dimmed by the thought that one might step into any police sta tion at any time of day or night and hear the same loul exple tives streaming unconsciously Irom the mouths of those guar dians of the city's laws and mor als. In fact, I had a visum ol the vice squad detectives saying lo one another alter the pinch: "What in does that think he's doing by using such lan guage in a night club?" The same day's issue that re ported his conviction also in formed us that a notorious owner of decrepit slum properties won another continunm-e in a case that has been dragging on lor years to prevent him from ex ploiting and victimizing his ignor ant and impoverished tenants. There was also another bomb Plays Reds, V X'- Gamal World Bank help in reconstruct ing the Suez Canal. Nasser then came to the International Mone tary Fund for a loan to stabilize his currency. IMF agreed to give him part of what he needed if he esses.; STRICTLY PERSONAL ing of a restaurant that day, doubtless perpetrated by the Big Boys, who rest secure in the knowledge that not a single gang land killing has ever been solved by the police force in the 30 years since I left Boy Scout Troop No. 4. The paper was studded with goodies that day, but the Chicago public, has become resigned, not to say apathetic, toward what would be considered shocking ac tivities in less sophisticated com munities. Like the man who boasts he cannot spell properly, we have almost become a little proud of our civic infelicities. The night club comedian who talked dirty was only a transient in town, and therefore it may hav e been felt that he was not author ized to take part in the city's general air of raffishness. to use the kindest possible word. After all. we don't want any aliens coming in and corrupting the pink soashell ears ot our vir ginal daughters with such Anglo Saxon vocables. With our young daughters land sorts' reading ev cry day about some new deprav ity, or old offense, il would he simply too much to expose thorn to the blunt obscenities ot a wan dering jester. Wc taught that du ty a les son. If the slum landlords would only use profanity in public, there might be some hope for a conviction.

Wash- Al manac By United Press International Today is Wednesday, April 24, the 114th day of 1963 with 251 more to follow. The moon is approaching its first quarter. The morning stars are Venus and Saturn. The evening stars are Mercury and Mars. On this day in history: In 1877 the North recalled all of its federal troops from the South. In 1H98. Spain declared war on the United States after refusing It withdraw from Cuba. In 1945, former Kentucky Sen. Albert (Happy Chandler took over as baseball commissioner, succeeding Judge Kenesaw Landis who died the previous year. In 1953, Winston Churchill was knighted. A though for the day: German philosopher George Wilhclm Hegel said: "Life has a value only when il has something valuable as its object." THEY SAY... Within the past two decad it has become possible lo travel for hundreds of miles across Aln can grasslands without sceins arty of the huge animals lor which the continent is noted. -Dr. Norman 1).

IWJIL All Aid He ington further agreed to match any other assistance Nasser could get from Britain, France, Italy and the rest of Europe that formerly did business with old Egypt. Under the Kennedy administra tion, the United State; has given Nasser increased technical assist ance, food for peace credits and economic aid. Still, total U.S. aid to Egypt since 1945 has been only $628 million, compared to Com munist bloc aid to Nasser equiva lent to $716 million since 1955. - American aid to Nasser has been widely criticized as help for a neutralist who was also the lead er of anti-Israel forces. But with Nasser emerging as more of a leader around whom the Arab world can rally peacefully and constructively, the aid may be paying off. No one is writing off the Com munistsRed China as well as Russia as washed up in the Mid die East. They are alert, aggres sive, constantly seeking new tar gets. But they have taken set backs. i Russia poured the equivalent of $218 million into Iraq and $193 million into Syria, compared to ' U.S. aid of $67 million for Iraq and $75 million for Syria. When the recent Iraq revolt led by Col. Arif overthrew the pro--Communist government and as By FULTON LEWIS JR. It went unnoticed in most parts of the country but Tuesday, April 16, was the fifth annual Africa Freedom Day. To celebrate the occasion, a group calling itself the American Committee on Africa held a spe cial meeting at New York's Com munity Church. Billed as the guest of honor was Holden Roberto, the African who heads up the campaign to drive the Portuguese from Angola. On hand to greet Roberto were delegates and ambassadors from such "uncommitted nations as Ghana. Guinea, Algeria, Togo, the United Arab Republic,. Sierre Leone and India. But Roberto, alas, did not show. It was announced by committee director Hope R. Stevens (who) has a Communist-front record) that Roberto was nowhere to be found. In Roberto's place, a panel of nationalists spoke on developments in Africa. Eduardo Mondlane, who claims to be president of some thing called the Mozambique Front of National Liberation, said that a new drive was underway to ban ish, while "colonialists" from Mo zambique, a Portuguese territory. Noting that Americans had a "pathological sensitivity to Com munism," Mondlane said: "We can note with great admiration what the Soviet Union has done in 50 years. Africans are extreme-. ly impressed." Another speaker, Kanyama Chi ume of Nyasaland, denounced those who urge non-violence in custing the colonialists. "These people forget that Jesus Christ in the synagogue used a whip," he said to wild applause. "We are forced to use the whip to throw out the colonizers from the synagogue of Africa ... In Angola and Mozambique the Af rican is shedding blood at the mercy of the Portuguese exploit ers. Are you going to tell me that we should turn the other cheek? "I want to make it absolutely clear that we in Nyasaland share the beliefs of our brothers and sisters in Algeria and Ghana. No method is too bad to be used in getting out colonialism from Africa." Holden Roberto has been quoted in the French newspaper. Le Monde, as having ordered the slav "Yfai, r going to the Jon't know if rm being BERRY'S WORLD Can Get sassinated Premier Kassim. Rus sians threw ink bottles at Iraq's embassy. Syria, similarly disillusioned with Communist aid, also has been blasted heavily by Radio Moscow and Russian propaganda. No one is looking at new devel opments in the Near East through rose-colored glasses. The whole Arab world is still extremely volatile. There is no magic for mula for centuries of unrest and "Lawrence of Arabia" type tribal feuding. It may be years before any one can see how the Near East will evolve. No one can safely predict that peaceful solutions are in sight. But the camel has his nose under that tent at the mo ment, i The major lines of American foreign policy in the face of this uncertain situation are relatively clear. The first is to keep the Near East economically and politically healthy. Another is to avoid or 'subdue any outbreaks of hostili ties that might grow into larg er wars. The third is to keep ten sions between the Arabs and Is raelis below the flash point. Finally, the limitation or con tainment of Communist interest and influence in the Near East is oi primary importance. WASHINGTON REPORT . .

Roberto goes by other names Jose Gilmore, Ruy Ventura, Rob ert Haldane, Onofre, Roierto Hol den. By any name, he has a long history of pro-Communist activity according to journalist Peter Les sing, who jn his book, "Africa's Red Harvest," describes Rober to's past thus: "Educated at a mission school in what was then the Belgian i Congo, his association with Belgian Communists is believed to have started soon after he left school. In subsequent years in France he became closely identified with the French Communist Party." Roberto returned to Africa in 1954 to distribute Communist prop aganda. His movement received its first real boost when Danir-I So menovich Solod was dispatched to Guinea from Moscow in 1960. Solod, a specialist in revolution ary tactics, arrived that summer to coordinate anti - Portuguese strategy. On Dec. 3, 1960, a call to arms was issued from Rober to's headquarters in Leopoldville, the Congo: . "Long live Nikita Khrushchev. Long live Angola . . . prepare your arms. We are about to open fire. We have no fear. Russia will provide weapons and Lumumba will help us. Let us kill the whites. Lumumba has given the author ity." On March 15, 1961, Roberto's army invaded Angola from the neighboring Congo. In a brutal orgy of terror, hundreds of An golans, black and white, young and old, men, women and chil dren, were massacred. Roberto found little popular sup jiort for his campaign. Little that is, but in America, where hun dreds of liberals turned out last week to honor his work. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q Where Is the largest rpllec tion of dinosaur remains in the world?
