Nestled in the pine-clad hills
4 miles northeast of Santa Rita,
N. Mex, Georgetown is popular
the year around. It's heyday as
a silver camp was between 1875
and 1892. Born of a wealthy sill
yer strike. the black shale yielded
generously of its precious white
metal.
Georgetown's years of plenty
drew the gambler, the home
Steader. the grubstaker and sa-
loon keeper. Like most mining
camps it presented a picturesque
scene with its dance halls. gam
bling dens, saloons and gun
toting hard-panners.
Today the streets are silent.

mills and great dumps of mine

blooming season, rose har-
vesters work steadily through
the sunrise hours as long as
there's dew still on the petals,
for then the flowers are con-
sidered at their prime. Vet
eran pluckers work fastest
barehanded, using the thumb
nail and index finger to snip
the blossoms off at the stem.
Dropped first in the garden
ers' baskets, the flowers later
are transferred to large burlap
bags for transport via donkey
back, wagon, or tractor to
Isparta's distilling plant.
After a growers petals have
been weighed in and paid for,
the blossoms are spread on
the floor of the plant so that
keen-eyed inspectors, who
never wear roSe-colOred
glasses, can weed out the
second-class flowers. Follow
ing the sorting process, the
roses are poured into huge
vats and distilled for some 40
minutes. The resulting vapors
are led through condensing
coils to large water-fllled
cylinders. The thin layer of
essence, or altar, which floats
to the top of the water is
decanted into big glass jugs,
and finally poured into stand
ardized copper TASKS for ship
ment to the perfume markets
of New York, London and
Paris.
Considering that almost a
ton of blossoms are needed
to produce a pound of essen
tial oil, the current price of
about 5000 a pound for altar
is understandable. But it's
no wonder milady must pay
through the nose if she ex-
poets to come out smelling
like a rose.

Nehru Courtesy Visit to Mao
Seen Vital to Future of Asia

After the garlanding and cheers,
he told the crowds that. at last,
his lifetime desire to visit China
was fulfilled, and that for CEN
turies India and China had en-
joyed contacts without one single
conflict.
Reports to Mao.
Mr.. Nehru left the airport With
Chou En-Lai In q big black Rus
sian Zis and reported to Mao.
The vast difference between
this meeting and what one
imagines to be the usual totali-
tartan setup was the trusting and
almost casual way one moved
about among the group OF super
dignitaries-Nehru, Mao, Chou,
Nine. Sun Vat Sen-indeed,
the entire top crust of the
Chinese hierarchy.
It was the same later on, at
what is oddly called here cock
tail party held behind the ancient
walls of the imperial city in the
hail Of purple illumination"
where the visibly fatigued Nehru
moved around, Iandshaking.
under the arc lamps.
This ceremony included at,
least one piquant moment when
India's prime minister suddenly
found himself saying hello to a
slender boy in yellow robes who
turned out to be the Dalai Lama
OF Tibet-the "godly being of in
effable holiness" whose capitula-
tion to the Red Chinese liber-
ators could fairly be said to have
touched OF the whole Indian-
Chinese situation. Mr.. Nehru did
a swift double-take, then en-.
barked on a most animated and
wholly inscrutable conversation
to which the Dalai Lama replied
with bemused mods.

The Free Europe COMMITTEES said
today Communist Csechoslovaki
now cornpels mental institution

The committee, which describes
itself as q privately financed

istry. It applies to. all insane
persons who are not considered
dangerous cases. /"

Communist head of state since
the creation of the Chinese Peo-
pies Republic, is officially wrapped
up in the bland definition,
courtesy call" But no one for
q moment doubts its intense
significance coming at this time.
"A meeting Of Mr.. Nehru and
Mao Tse-tung. representing be-
tween them nearly billion people
or pretty nearly half the human
population of the world, is clearly
a punctuation mark in the his
tory of Asia. Mr.. Nehru, fresh
from his discussions with Ho Chi
Mini in Hanoi, is likely to be
acting not only as India's Prime
Minister but as the indirect
spokesman for the entire COM
monwealth complex-as most ex-
plicitly distinguished here from
what is known as the Western
world.
Mr.. Nehru, who can speak to
AsianS as an Asian. is more likely
to be heard with a good face
than-anyone else. He has already
limited at his early retirement
from politics and most mani
festly has not made this arduous
journey for the purpose of re-
leasing mechanical peace doves.
SEATO Opposition Seen.
The chief assumption in Pei
ping is that Mr.. Nehru has come
to China as the most articulate
nom Communist opponent of
SEATO, and holds solidly with
the Red Chinese on the undeSir-
ability of this Western PROPOSE
ton to guarantee Asian coun-
tries against Asian influences.
The anti-SEATO elements here
is 70 say 100 per cent
of that part of the population
that values its skin-has the feel
ing that Mr.. Nehru's visit may
end with an Indian-Chinese
declaration of mutual help.
This has been a day of bewil-
dering enthusiasm in Peiping.
Something like 100000 persons
turned out to welcome Mr.. Nehru,
and the six miles between the
