Headlines und Censorship

Use by the United States press Of
Headlines which do not At the inter-
national news" is largely responsible
for the "mercurial temperament" Of
Americans. according to Madame Pan
dit, president Of the United Nations
General Assembly.
It Is true that while most conservative
newspapers practice great restraint in
the use Of headlines. other newspapers
use them in much the same manner
that some publishers use illustrations Of
languorous beauties on the covers Of
their books. Usually with the same dis
appointing result to the reader Of the
story.
However, the Temperament" Of
Americans toward issues such as ad-
mission Of Red China to the United Ma
tioiiS, which Mrs. Pandit states viii
come about, and other issues now be-
fore the q. N. has remained remark
ably stable. A change in American
temperament toward these interna-
tional issues might be brought about.
But 1t would probably come only be-
cause OF change in the policy of other
nations regarding correlative issues
d14CCL41lB fA1uCkIChILS. Oy
the use Of headlines in the American
press.
That 1t is extremely difficult for
Americans to get true picture Of
people and situations in other coun-
tries is. OF course. partly due to existing
restrictions abroad which tend to curb
the free flow Of news both within ma
tionS and across national borders.
The Associated Press has just made
public a world survey, showing that
while there has been some slight easing
Of news censorship conditions during
the past six months, particularly where
a government became more stable, in
other countries where there was crisis
and instability pressures were increased
and outright censorship was sometimes
imposed.
1t is noted that The Star has an
nounced that it opened a European
news bureau on January /; with head
quarters in Paris; thus for the first
time establishing a news bureau of its
own abroad.

Conuressmun on Pay Ruise

In your issue Of December 20, Webb
s. Fiser writes that he was shocked
when Representative Burdick and !
testified opposing any increase in con-
gressional salaries. He states that he
can think Of only three reasons for our
opposition. i.e.:
First, he might think that his con-
tribution to the country isn't worth
that much and he would be ashamed
to take money that he didn't earn.
Second, he might be afraid that $4,000
would attract men Of greater ability
and he might wind up out OF job.
Third, he might have such low opin-
ion of his constituency that he might
fear they won't be able to see the de-
STABILITY OF raising congressional sal
aries"
Through your courtesy must ask
Mr.. Fiser whether he cannot think Of
any reason other than a selfish one
might have for opposing the increase.
Undoubtedly. Mr.. Fiser is kindly.
tolerant. Christian gentleman. who
wants to have as charitable views Of
the motives Of others as circumstances
may permit. Hence. I'll give just one
of the reasons for my opposition.
Over the years. tax dollars have not
been sufficient in number to meet Fed
eral expenditures. Hence, public debt
of $266 billion. with an annual interest
charge of more than $6 billion. We
have imitation. My opinion was and Is
that there are millions Of people In
worse financial situations than our Con-
gressmen: that an increase in congress
sional salaries would tilt, II not blow.
the lid OF increased Federal spending,
detract from the force Of any attempt
calling for a cut in Federal expendi-
lures, no matter how unnecessary or
wasteful: and. worst Of all. make GER
tain an accelerated imitation with
following ruinous depression. .
Mr.. Fiser's suggestion that my oppo-
sition to increasing my salary to at
least $4,000 should be considered q
good reason for not electing" me next
time, to be Of real value. should be
addressed to the citizens Of the 4th
congressional district of Michigan
rather than The Star.

Representative from Michigan.

Passions in South Asia

Despite assurances that we are not seeking
new bases Indian reaction to possible extension
of American military aid to Pakistan has in
creased to q point where 1t Is clear that our
own final decision on the matter must be
weighed with genuine care. We are, 1t now
seems, involved in another of those difficult
situations in which our position Is under fire
not only from Communist quarters but is caught
in q cross-flre between non-Communist pow
ers-somewhat as we are caught on certain
issues between France and West Germany in
Europe and between Israel and the Arab States
In the Middle East
AS country of nearly 400 million people,
India has considered itself qualified for and
entitled to the leading role in South Asia. In
attempting to fill this role, Prime Minister
Nehru and his government have followed a
policy Of neutrality, broadly speaking between
the Communist and non-Communist bloc. Mr..
Nehru is considered anti-CommuniSt in India's
domestic affairs and there are some who believe
he foreseeS a showdown eventually between
Communist China and nom Communist India
for the leadership of all ASIA Whatever Mr.
Nehru's precise thinking and however correct
he may be in detail, it would be unfortunate
If India should be driven further away from
the West and perhaps into closer collaboration
with the Communist powers.
FaKlSCan, IN Curp, can make good case
for sympathetic consideration from the West.
Divided into two non-contiguous territories, 1t
stands Squarely across the East and West in
vasion routes Of India from either Communist
China or from Soviet Russia itself. 1t has been
bluntly anti-C Communist in much of its deal
ings with Soviet Russia. AS a country of 10
million and not richly endowed in industrial
resources, it does not logically loom as mill
tary threat to India. Because of its strategic
location and because of its influential rela-
tionship with the MoSlem States of the Middle
East however there are some who feel that
Pakistan, with Turkey might serve as the
anchors in a creScent-like line of defense run
ming from the Balkans to Burma.
Thus 1t is that there are both political
and military considerations involved in the
problems of policy posed for us in South Asia.
On the whole, the military answer is easier
to find but military line of defense Is distress
ingly weak if political disaffection exists be-
hind 1t. The West must seek to improve both
its political and military position in South
Asia and it hardly can afford to strengthen
one at cost Of weakening the other. From
the American viewpoint there appears logic
without danger in giving defensive military
aid to Pakistan. Every effort should be made,
however, to allay Indian fears-perhaps through
non-aggression guarantees from Pakistan-with
the hope that real. strengthening of the
non-Communist front in South Asia can result.

Prairie ranger station up the Flat
head rivers South Fork with 27
head of horses and mules Tues
day. Before winter pasture near
Perma is reached next week the
Big Prairie stock will have trav-
eled 217 miles.
The herd for winter pasture will
continue to grow until it reaches
total of 108 for the Flathead.

TO Measure Snow
Depths from Air

Snow depths in isolated sections
of the Flathead's Upper South
Fork this winter for the first time
will be measured by an observer
from an airplane.
Ashton R. Codd, Bozeman, of the
U. S. Soil Conservation service,
Wednesday, installed markers for
snow measurements at Basin
creek, 80 miles from roads end at
Spotted Bear, and at Holbrook al
so in the primitive roadless area.
The markers use l by 6 boards
bolted to a metal pole making a
tooth effect. The pilot flying over
the area in winter can note the
number of teeth showing, and Codd
commented will come within six
inches of getting the actual snow
depth.
Next stop will be taking the
snow depth and water content fig
ures from more accessible nearby
areas, and then correlating the
plane observations to arrive at
approximate water content read
ings for the isolated spots.
Codd used a Johnson Flying
Service plane out of Missoula on
this weeks trip to Basin creek
and Holbrook.

Grizzly Stands Guard ouer Dinner

WEST GLACIER-A giant Gla-
cier National Park grizzly bear
that played king of the hill where
his food supply was concerned
was observed by District Ranger
Don Barnum and Bill Yenne, the
parks general trail foreman.
The two men noted the big bear
on top of a mound he had built
about nine feet long and three feet
high. Location was a mile from
St. Mary ranger station. The griz-
Fly didn't retreat when the men
came near.
Barnum and Yenne reported
that the grizzly, described as Sex
traordinarily large" had covered
the remains of a dead park serv-
ice horse. He would uncover
section of the horse at a time as
he would eat.
In this way the big bear kept
birds and other predators from
joining in the feast.
The horse had been badly in
jured by the kick of another horse,
and as a result was shot by the
rangers.
Phenomenon of the grizzly who
played king of the hill and would
not leave his buried dinner was
observed several times by Barnum
and Yenne, and also by Rangers
Bud Estey, Stan Spurgeon and
Hugh Buchanan. The grizzly stood
on the mound he'd built.

Vietnamese frittered away the few

one in the non-Communist world
could claim for the Geneva set
tlement."
Time magazine continued: But
Montana's able Senator Mike
Mansfield, returning from two
month survey of Indo-China, said
publicly what officials could only
mutter privately.
The outlook in Wet Nam, re-
ported Mansfield, bluntly, is
grim and discouraging." prem
ier) Diem is a virtual prisoner in
his residence, the victim of
an incredible campaign Of sub
version by intrigue" His "con-
structive program re-
mains largely a paper program.
1t is kept that way by kind of
conspiracy of non-cooperation and
sabotage by those who oppose
him." The army is on the way to
being converted into the private
army of its commander" for pol
itical use, said Mansfield 49,.
Mansfield saw only dim
chance of a free Wet Nam gov
ernment capable of beating the
Reds in the 1856 elections that
will decide the fate of Indo-China.
The Defense Department agreed
with Mansfield's assessment. If
free elections were held today one
official conceded, the Communists
