About the only political activity the state level
of late has been between the two party state chair
men,
Accepted duties of the chairman of political party
are to draw out the opposition, them into
position preferably unfavorabe) spar Bit take
few punches and lot of cuff if necessary and at all
times expound the virtues of his party always com
pared with the lack of virtue of the opposition.
During periods such follow legislature and pre-
cede election the party chairman should be worry
ing the opposition kind of like the ogre behind the
mountain who bellows at a distance for long time
to frighten his next meal into submission.
During these interim political periods candidates
oathe to their intentions until the wealth
of public opinion settles in some definite di
rection the party banners pretty much marched
up and down by couple of generals without any army
1t is this period in the political life of the state
R. F. Juedeman Republican State Chairman, presently
find themselves.
Their sorte into print be "1-2-3-testng' of
the interest in issues and watched carefully by pros
pective candidates. When the state chairman touches
tender spot in the of the electorate wouldbe
candidates begin to carefully toward the banner
AS time draws for filing for office the state
chairman will turn around and find his army has
amassed.
Therefore, the present verbal duel without any
seconds, between Erickson and Juedeman is entirely
within the call of duty. What they say and the
actions to important political sign posts to 1853
They at the very least, are composing the tune that
will be the top melody the 1858 political hit parade

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Did YOU read the recent article in Harper's maga
zine about the Great Plains and any of the sub
sequent replies by defenders of these wide open spaces
The Harpers magazine article aroused regional
tempers and loyal hearts to expound the gories the
Western 'desert" area.
1t is good for us in while to be called upon
to defend something love- 1t makes us take a look
at what have and often than not the scrutiny
brings about improvements.
Be that it may, it is my considered opinion the
Great Plains is here to stay
Those of us whose grandparents and great grand
parents rolled these plains in covered wagons
those who later enjoy the life of this great
area simply because it is what it is aren't going to
pack up and run because someone tells us we have
problems.
Most of us fully cognizant of the problems
Now if some great and wise person could bring
the unity to in solving problems we'd
really be cooking on the front burner.
don't want to live anypace but Montana don't
don't want to exchange the problems have here
with those of any other area.
If someone were to bulldoze under the accomplish
ments of the past the Great Plains and leave it for
the gophers and the rattlesnakes the dust would not
be settled before we'd be back to start the job all
again.
Our problems little different than those of
other places in this country There are just more
square miles to the problem
Though must constantly work to better our lot
and that of state region and nation if someone
led me to the door of Utopia I'd hesitate to enter
because it would be so beastly boring.

Israel armed forces last Novem-
ber seized Egyptian shore batter
les and lifted the blockade of the
Gulf of Akaba. This gave Israel
access, via the Red Sea, to Asia
and East Africa. Israel, apart from
Egypt, is the only country with a
coastline on both the Mediterran-
can and Red Seas. A seaport, Eilat
was built as Israel's gateway to
the East. Until November, Egyptian
guns blockaded this port.
CONSTRUCTION has started on
pipeline to pump oil across Is
raeli to the Mediterranean Coast
A shipping canal between Eilat and
Haifa has been discussed. The
mere existence of such an alterna-
tive canal and oil pipeline would
end the Egyptian monopoly and
free the world of Nasser's control
of international commerce.
Today the Gulf of Akaba is open
to ships and cargoes of all ma
tions, like any other international
waterway. Western Europe is look

NEW YORK - During 1856 pro-
duction of crude oil from Israel S
only oil field increased from a
trickle of 100 barrels a day in jan
uary to a respectable 1875 bar
relS by year-end. The outlook for
1857, according to officials of Is
rael Oil Prospectors Corporation,
Ltd, is for steadily increasing
production during the year, with
a conservative estimate of a 5000
barrel-per-day yield next Decem-
Der.
Israels oil production is til
small, compared with her annual
needs. The nation requires about
7.5 million barrels of crude a
year, most of which has to be i'm
ported from the Caribbean area
by tankers.
PRESENT production at Heletz,
80 miles south of Tel Aviv, is run
ming to about per cent of the
crude requirements. Oil was first
discovered there in September,
1855.

the Gulf of Akaba as a world ar
terry. Yet the State Department is
pressuring Israel to evacuate the
points from which Nasser maintain
ed his blockade.
THE GULF of Akaba, 100 miles
long, is shared by Israel, Jordan,
Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. At the
northern end of the gulf there are
two ports: Akaba in Arab Jordan
and Eilat in Israel. Near its south
ern end, where the gulf emerges
into the Red Sea proper, the tiny
islands of Tiran andSanafir are
situated.
/ The only navigable channel lead
ing from the Red Sea to the gulf
passes between Tiran and the coast
of Sinai. 1t is only 3 nautical miles
in width. This explains the ease
with which Egypt blocked the en-
trance to the gulf.
The point on the Sinai coast di-
rectly facing the island of Tiran is
known as Ras NaSrani. It is not
marked on many maps. For it did
not exist until 1949 when Egypt
established gun emplacementS
there. The sole purpose of these
guns was to prevent ships bound
to Eilat from entering the gulf.
EGYPTS HEAVY cannon were
trained on the Smile straits, the
only path through which ships
could move. But the actual uSable
lane is even narrower. Coral reefs
and rocks obstruct most of the
channel about 1000 yards offshore.
Guns at RaS NaSrani could thus
blast any vessel using the channel
right out of the water.
On January %, 1850, Egypt told
the United States it had no inten-
ton of interfering in any way with
peaceful shipping and that passage
would remain free ''in conformity
with international practice and
with recognized principles Of inter-
national law" In spite of this as
surance, Egypt Immediately block
ed navigation as part Of the econ
omic war against Israel.
THIS BLOCKADE was the sub
ject of a lengthy United Nations
Security Council debate in 1851
The Security Council adopted q
resolution denouncing Egypt's in
reference with shipping bound to
Israel and denied the right of the
Egyptian government to maintain
such blockade.
The effect of the Illegal block
ade was not merely to bar Israeli
ships. Ships Of many other nations
were deferred from proceeding to
Eilat. This paralyzed development
of the port, hindered reclamation
of the Negev, and cut off Israel
from Asia and East Africa.
The State Department may now
help Egypt restore the blockade
even though Egypt's blockade guns
once fired on an American vessel.
In 1852 the SIS. Albion was bound
for Jordanian Akaba with a cargo
of U. S. gift wheat for the relief
of famine in Jordan. Egyptian
shore batteries opened fire. In apol-
ogiZing, Egypt explained it had been
thought mistakenly that the Amer
ican ship was bound for Israel.
ON JULY 8, 1856, a British ship
S. S. Anshun was fired upon and
actually hit. The ship was carry
ing pilgrims to Mecca.
Many diplomats in Washington
find it difficult to understand why
the United States would help Egypt
resume such an unlawful and ir-
responsible blockade. Others point
to this as only another illustration
of how far American policy makers
will go in pursuit of Arab friend
ship.
