Newspaper Page TextNelson Reed Reports On Tour Of Istanbul Bazaars, Blue Mosque, Turkish Harem Fremont Foresf Salvage Timber Sates Totaled By NELSON' KKEI) Istanbul, April 19 A short (light over the Afjcan from Rhodes and we landed at Athens where ue changed to a BEA Comet jet and took oft for Istanbul. Soon we passed over the Greek island of Lesbos and with jut enough time to eat dinner we landed at Istanbul. Next morning we hired a taxi to see the city with a Turkish driver who "spoke also .'he Eng lish," so he said, though most of Die lime you'd never guess it. Now we know why the Turks are such tough fighters. Anybody who battles the traffic through Istan bul's narrow, crooked, torn up cobblestone streets for a lifetime is fit to figlit anybody anywhere. It doesn't scare you like the traf fic in Japan because you never get going fast enough to gel hurt. You ere more afraid you may starve to death before you get moving again, tars get jam Dacked three wide in streets that pinch out from three cars wide to two to one, witn cross sircci traffic barging in to help mcs. things up. It is truly unbelievable, and sure immovable. If you knew how to get there you would be far better off afoot. The Turks cannot compare with tle Greeks for good looks, either men or women. By our standards they are small, homely and hard bitten looking. Neither are they as friendly as the Greeks. They seem to be a bit on the surly side whether they mean to or not. By and large Istanbul is a shabby looking city with many old build ings, few wide streets and very many narrow poorly paved ones. It does not have a prosperous ap pearance. We visited the famous bazaars for an hour or so which was more than enough. There are blocks of them, looking like tunnels rather than streets as they are roofed over. On both sides are shops of fering everything under the sun from expensive jewelry and Turk ish rugs to the cheapest kind of tourist bait. The shopkeepers grab you and pull you into their shop, talking your car off all the lime with a line of guff about how cheap ev erything is. They speak the Eng lish all right and a half dozen other languages too. Most of them seemed to us to be Armenian Jews, though in this city of con glomerate races It is hard to tell. Ortainlv none of them ever beard of the "soft sell." In spite of, or of. them we escaped prac tically unscathed, with our hands lightly clutching our pocketbooks. Then we visited St. Sofia and the Blue Mosque, and we knew w hy we had come to Istanbul. St. Sofia, now a museum and no long er used for worship, is one of tlie most magnificent buildings in the w orld. It was built at the request of Emperor Justinian as a Ro man Christian Church. When the Turks conquered Constantinople, as it was then called, St. Sofia be came Ilagia Sofia, a Turkish mosque. Only very fine colored photographs could describe for you the wonderful colored tile mosaics in the roof and walls, the marble pillars, and the plaques with inscriptions in pure gold on a black background. It is truly magnificent. The "Blue" or Sultan Ahmet Mosque is even lovelier than St. Sofia if such a thing is possible. It was built in 1616 A.D. at the request of Sultan Ahmet. Four huge massive marble pillars which are decorated with blue tile up to the ceiling support the mid dle cupola which in turn is cov ered with blue tile mosaics. Light streams in through the colored glass windows with their beauti fully carved shutters. The chan cel and the prayer niche are made of while marble and the in terior walls are decorated with blue tile, with gold inscriptions on a black background on some as well as on the pillars. The Blue Mosque is used for worship today and with services five times daily. You must Hear slippers over your shoes when you enter as the floors are cov ered with fine turkish rugs, many of them donated. The men pray in the oubide ede of the huge room; pamphlet, and like our guide who i ants of the privy chamber, hal as men must not be distracted leaned on h.s cane as he hobbled berdlrs: coolLi-.confet-lloners' b.ul while praying by looking at worn- over the cobblestone. e shall en.

The middle gale of the palace was called the Gate of Peace, which struck us a; a rather wry joke, but at the riht side of the gate on the wall was the execu tioner's fountain. The executioner simply chopped off the heads of the condemned, placed the beads in front of the fountain on exam ple stones, washed his hands and his sword in the founiain and called it a day. Want to bet that some nights he didn't dream that he might displease the sultan with his work and end up on the other end of the deal? We will skip the various other quarters of the palace aiid get quickly to the harem for we know that is what you all have been waiting for. Harem is an Arabic word meaning sacred place. It was applied to apartments re served for women in private homes as well as palaces. For a while the sultans married ladies of rank whose sons could become sultans someday, but evi dently they later got bored with them and widened their field of endeavor. As the w ives multiplied so did the intrigues, rivalries and crimes. This should surprise no one who has had too many fe- Lmale relatives around. The gals in the old harems played for keens and many young princes were put to death to help tlie chances of another's son to become sultan. The harem had a section for the black eunuchs whose chief was called master of the maids, and their duty was to keep order in the harem, we doubt it any body envied them. The highest rank in the harem was the empress-mother, next came the six imperial spouses, who ranked ac cording to seniority, then the five favorites, and alter them the oda lisks. whoever they were. The book didn't say and it doesn't real ly matter for we doubt very much sultan ever got that far down on if even the most goatlike old j his list Tire Theft Told Police Klamath Falls police Tuesday curred sometime during the past ,w,,.t ,h fh.fi. nf lire and I weekend. She told police she had "I"-- i,a . wheel valued at $98 and change from a meter collection box on North Eighth Street between Main and Pine streets. .Mrs. Madalen Prcck, Alpha Apartments, told police a tire and wheel were taken from her car while the vehicle was parked at the Esquire Theatre Parking Lot. She said the theft probably oc- no idea who might have stolen the wheel. A city employe reported to po lice that a meter collection box was broken into Tuesday and a few dollars in change was taken. The damage to the box was esti. mated at $18. Police said a sledge hammer o" crowbar probably was used to break into the coin box. LAKEVIEW Twenty two mil-j lion board feet of salvage timber has been sold on Hie Fremont Forest as of March 1. according lo a report of Jack Usher, timber management officer. An addition al eight million board feet is be ing appraised and will be offered for sale prior to June 30. By March 1 tliere were approximate ly 10 million board feet cut and processed. The blowdown problem was not serious during the windstorms which occurred after the Colum bus Day storm, but probably about four million feet went down. Of this, two million will be sal- vable. Some trees left stand ing in the first blow were weak ened to the point that many of them toppled about March 27. These salvage sale figures will be spread over a five-year peri od in deducting them from the allowable cut. In the regular timber sale pro gram for this year, there will be approximately 100 m i 1 1 io n board feet offered throughout the Fremont in both the Lake and Klamath working circles. Ten sales are now being appraised to be offered by June 1. The dry weather of the w inter months was an advantage in get ting the blowdown timber cut. Usher said.

The child is often ly ing in soiled clothing when I come home. She cries all the time. I sometimes wonder if she ha-.: been fed. The child has a rash on her legs which the doctor says is from neglect. My wife keeps "forgetting" to get the med icine he prescribed. I finally went out and got it myself. I'm afraid my wife dislikes this child and is not caring for her properly. Is it possible for a moth er to feel this way? Please give me some help. I am deeply con cerned. J.L. Dear J. L.: Your wife's attitude toward the little girl is Indeed unnatural." It Is sick. Her re sentment against the child Is a transference of hostility and anger which is nrmted elsewhere. Your wife needs professional help at once and I hope you will see that she gets it. Very young children must have love and affec tion. They can be permanently scarred if they are not given emo tional support. Dear Ann Landers: I know you will never print this because it's easy to see what side you are on. Why did you publish all those letters about "Old Gaffers" mak ing it appear as if they are the dangerous drivers a threat to life and limb? Anyone who has an ounce of sense knows the teenage punks arc the guilty ones. This Is why insurance rates are sky high for drivers under 25. A recent survey showed that seven out of 10 boys between 16 and 25 years of age have been involved in a major accident. Only two out of 10 old gaffers had been in wrecks. I'd risk my neck any day with a 75-vear-oId gaffer before I'd ride with a 17-year-old punk who has to rev up a piece of junk just to get the tlirill of speeding. Too bad this letter will go into your wastebasket Instead of in the newspaper where it Deiongs. MILLION MILE ttArl'.tv WITH 'NO WRECK . Dear No Wrecks You drive a lot better than you read. dad. I made It clear the "Old Gaffer" letters were expressions from readers nnd did not reflect my point of view. Every survey 1 have seen proves the drivers under 25 years of age are far more dangerous than the senior citizens. Dear Ann Landers: I am 18 and look and act older. My Uncle Wally is 36 but looks and acts younger. Ue has told me he loves me and I'm sure I love him. He, is not a blood relative, but an uncle by marriage.
