THIS YEARS crop Of Halloween
Il masks will be better looking, and
the children themselves are respon-
sible for the change. Out of style
have gone the diabolical and ferocious
faces that frightened unsuspecting
doorbell answerers in past years. In
stead, the accent of Halloween 1854
will be on humor, with some smiling
faces from the comics replacing the
skulls, witches and devils so long
associated with the last day Of October.
To find out what the children
wanted, one large manufacturer has
gone to the customers themselves. BY
bringing in a panel Of children to
pass judgment on proposed face

The consultants delivered critical
opinions on the face making opera

kids unburdened themselves of some
inside dope, such as How does 1t

it?" BY using the children for mar

certain that their company's current

Iron Curtain countries are now
selling in South American markets
with the enthusiasm of q junior
salesman and getting the results
of q senior salesman. They have
signed eight trade agreements re-
Gently with Argentina and Brazil.
They are now casting covetous eyes
at others.
While the Soviet bloc has been
gaining an economic foothold in
Argentina and Brazil. United States
exports to those countries have
tumbled about so percent. Between
1851 and 1858 our exports to Argen-
tina dropped from $233.1 million to
$104.2 million, to Brazil from $699.8
million to $295 million. Meanwhile,
Communist trade with Argentina in
creased from nothing to S to per
cent of the latter's external trade.
Trade with the Soviet and its
friends is very small compared with
South Americas total world trade
(1953 exports of $7.6 billion and i'm
ports of $6.4 billion). But it does
represent significant start.
The Soviet bloc is exchanging
much-needed capital and consumer
goods for surplus raw materials the
South American countries can't sell
elsewhere. It offers credit facilities
and other advantages unavailable
to our free-enterprise exporters.

Russia had little or no trade with
South America for about 35 years.
There was. for instance. no trade
with Argentina between 1916 and
1858. Then last August the two

Should Woter Developments Invode NotionoI Parks?
By Fred TherOux

ConservationiSts are tightening
their lines for q last-ditch fight in
Congress against legislation they
contend will gravely threaten Amer
ica's national parks and monuments.
When the House of Representa-
tives votes on the proposed Upper
Colorado water storage project
within q few weeks. it viii take
possibly conclusive step In deciding
. major issue affecting directly and
indirectly the population of the
entire Nation. The issue: Should
national policy permit the use Of
National Parks and Monuments for
specific water and power develop
ment projects?
The Upper Colorado project is q
long-term, integrated and phased
plan to control and use rivers of
the Upper Colorado basin for the
pressing needs Of the semiarid West.
The first phase. to cost an estimated
$93, ,S43. 900. calls for I'VE units
dams, reservoirs and power plants.
This initial phase has met, with
general approval-with the impor-
tant exception of one unit. That
exceptlon-Echo Park-happens to
be in . wild, rugged and magnificent
canyon on the Green River just east
OF the Utah border in Colorado.
Most important of all, it lies within
the Dinosaur National Monument,
a 325-sQuare-mile tract of wilder
ness created in 1888 by executive
order to preserve an area described
as unique in scenic, geological and
archaeological interest.
In the plan to locate a 540-foot
dam at the Echo Park site, conserva-
tionists see an entering wedge sure
to be ultimately destructive Of es-
tablfshed policy on the inviolability
Of the National Parks. Their fears
are discounted by the Bureau Of
Reclamation and by Interior Secre-
tary Mckay and President Eisen-
hover, who have approved the prof.
ect. Opinion in Utah, most directly
affected by the proposal, appears to
be overwhelmingly in favor Of the

From the moment Of their incep-

end of the last century. the national
parks have had to fight . series Of
battles against determined enemies.

other interests have opposed the

Of Americas wonders from despoil-
ers.
The major victory was won with
passage Of an act Of Congress in
1916 creating the National Park
Service. Since then, conservationistS
have fought vigorously to preserve

If Joao Alberto Luis de Barras.

his way, Brazil will swing open the
trade gates to Russia and her satel-
lites. He says the "cold war" is a
political fight between the United

look out for its own welfare and
cultivate trade with the Soviet bloc.
De Barras learned his politics as

Russia has been suggesting 1t may
buy 100000 tons Of Chile's surplus
copper. Russia is perhaps not un-
mindful that Chile's copper surplus
is a perennial problem and the
United States economy cannot abb
sorb it economically.
Although Russia and her satel-
lites are not buying in the cheapest
market and selling in the dearest
one, Russia seems to like this new
trade and wants more of the same.
It recently invited all Latin Amer.

Then, too, the Communists deny

Although this trade has cut into
only small part of the South
American market, there may be

both economically and politically.
Economically. these trade agree
ments deter United States efforts to
promote competitive multilateral
trade based on comparative adj
vantage. Instead. they promote
bilateral trade based on uneconomic
bartering and tuned to control
economies.
Countries like Argentina and
Brazil, for instance, cannot export
sufficiently to the United States be-
cause of tariff barriers or compete
tive factors. So they cannot get the
foreign exchange they need to inn
port from the United States. To
maintain domestic stability and
equilibrium in their balance of pay
ments, they return to bilateral
clearing agreements and barter trade
with controlled economies like
Russia. This trade promotes dis.
criminatory trade practices like inn
port quotas and exchange restric-
tions.
Problem for Rio
Politically. these trade agreements
are q challenge to American leader

Russia Is evidently anxious to en-
gage In uneconomic trade in South
America In order to lure United
States allies out of the currents Of
multilateral free trade. It would

for power.

Dinosuur Monument

In the D1noSaur National Monu-
ment the Green River flows south.
ward from Wyoming through the
Gate Of Lodore and enters a deep
chasm of sheer red walls at the
northern boundary Of the Monu-
ment. It boils on through the up
ended rocks of the Uinta uplift, the
result OF a cataclysmic upheaval of
the earth'S crust, and oxbows in
tight twists through some of the
most stupendous canyon scenery in
the world. At one point in it's deep
cut route it is joined almost at right
angles by the Yampa, flowing almost
directly west from headwaters on
the western slopes of the Continental
Divide in Colorado. Just past. the
junction of the two streams is
Steamboat Rock, a Ship-shaped mass
Of stone towering 800 feet above the
streambed. Around the prov twists
the augmented Green and slices on
through more miles of breathtaking
canyon until it leaves the Monu-
ment boundaries at Split Mountain
Gorge, 1000 feet deep, and settles
to relatively peaceful flow through
Eastern Utah to its junction with
the Colorado hundreds of miles to
the south.
On the Green just past Steamboat
Rock, at a point called HarperS
Corner, engineers would like to build
Echo Park dam. In the second
phase of the Upper Colorado project
they plan another dam at Split
Mountain, also within the Monu-
ment boundaries. This second dam
would submerge the great canyons
from Split Mountain all the way
back to the foot of the Echo Park
dam in a reservoir 200 feet deep.
Since the Echo Park dam itself
would inundate the canyons Of both
the Green and the Yampa, almost
all the Monuments scenic area
would become reservoir.
Geological Treasure Trove
Dinosaur took it's name from a
deposit of dinosaur bones discovered
in 1892 and since found to be one
of the worlds greatest storehouses
for the skeletons of these tremen-
dous reptiles.
In 1915 President Wilson set aside
80 acres in the dinosaur quarry to
create the Dinosaur National Monu-
ment.
But Dinosaur National Monument
today is only very incidentally q
quarry for old bones. Observers
drawn to the area by the dinosaur
discovery found that the classic cam
yons Of the Green and Yampa were
unique examples of natural forces
at work in reshaping the earth.
Visitors called the canyons more
awe-inspiring in many respects than
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
Largely because the canyons were
considered unduplicated elsewhere,
the Monument was enlarged in 1888
to its present area.
Since the extension of the Monu-
ment in 1888, war disruptions and
lack of funds have prevented the
National Park Service from making
the Monument more accessible to
tourists and providing some lodging
and meal facilities. Unimproved but
quite paSSable roads lead to parts
Of the Monument along the Green,
and q road from Maybell, Colo, will
take the visitor the so miles to the
Gate Of Lodore at the northern
boundary. Boat trips on the Yampa
and Green can be arranged and
guides are available for trail trips.
But under present conditions the
Monument Is neither easily acceSsi-
BILE, to the average tourist nor
