Gold Rush DeePin Bush

a native named David Ambo,
thirsty from eating big juicy
snails. bent over q tiny stream
to get a drink. He dug a little
to provide q pool TO allow water
to collect. Stuck to his moist
hands were specks of gold.
Now more than 1000 Africans
are feverishly scratching, dig

extract more than 500, 900
worth Of gold a month from the
stream.

shipments of gold dust are
flown to Yaounde. capital of

coastline.
But between the discovery
and the beginning Of shipments
that bolster Frances shaky eco

the area for two months.
Ambo didn't know then that
he could have obtained an
official concession for the gold

wife and q basket Of provisions
and began panning gold Sc

The gold seam was so in ex-
haustible. the sand took so long
to sift. the forest trees lining
the stream were so hard to root
out. that Ambo soon tired of
working only with his wife's
help. He tipped OF four village
friends.
1t was April then. The secret
was out in the Jungle. But a
wall Of silence hid the growing
gold rush camp from officials
in Batouri.
Storekeepers were the first
outsiders to get wind Of what
was up. There was q run on
picks and shovels. Bills were
often paid with TASKS Of gold
dust. A wholesaler tipped OF

A regional inspector reached

The Service Of Mines took

ONCE Of Thailand's Premier,
Field Marshal p. Pibulsong-
gram, is filled with glass
cases containing high decora-
tons from all the countries
Of the world except the
USSR. Yugoslavia and Red

On top Of the display cases
are autographed photographs
Of the free worlds statesmen
and soldiers. even pictures Of

But the Premier's proudest
possession is an ordinary

that it was unity Of all forces

brought him to the Senate.
In a sense he was correct,
but not In his sense. The
Wisconsin revolution hap
pened because Senator Prox-

to catch the folks as they

The question Is whether

Gen. Phao also owns an anti

This consists of Thailand

antl-Communist policy.

since there is no other plat
form against Pibul - they

munist and liberal" elements
which are directly or indi-
rectly inspired by Peiping.
They fail to recognize what

Proxmire, Identified With New Tide
Enters as Thurmond Fights Rights Bill

We watched a charade Of
these confused times acted
out on the floor Of the United
States Senate as that body
went through a changing of
the guard to admit another
Democrat.
The clock on the wall oppo-
site the rostrum Of the pre-
siding officer edged UP toward
l o'clock. senator Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina,
not by any stretch Of the
imagination to be confused
with John c. Calhoun, see
sawed YEARLY back and
forth behind his desk on the
back row as he was complet-
ing the 18th hour Of his
speech against the civil rights
bill. Except for the fact that
he is a teetotaler-and doesn't
smoke either - the slender
gentleman with the overall
pallid cast might have been
q fellow at the bar who had
been there so long he was
loath to go home. and so he
kept on having one after
another, all by himself, num-
bling to himself at himself.
Strom Thurmon was
nearly alone as he mumbled
on. He had been talking since
shortly before Q o'clock the
night before. In him was
symbolized the dire schism
that affiictS the Democratic
Party over civil rights but, in
his case. to an extreme de-
gree. Why was he making
this spectacle Of himself when
everybody knows already how
he hates the civil rights bill
and how, for the first time
since Reconstruction, there's
nothing the Southerners can
do about 1t? The simple
answer is that folks in South
Carolina did not think he and
his colleague-Senator DIN
Johnston-had exerted them
selves enough. He'll show
'em. So there he stands,
weaving and bobbing.
What a high price some
men put on a seat in the
United States Senate!
But wait. there is q stir
about the almost empty
chamber. Lean and agile
Senator Lyndon johnson Of
Texas slides into the room
and to the front seat re-
served for the Democratic
leader. He rises to ask unan-
imous consent for a break in
these proceedings so that the
newest recruit to Democratic
ranks in the Senate can take
the oath Of Office. At the
same time. the break would
not deprive Senator Thur
mond Of his right to the
floor. Afterward he could go
on with his Job Of beating
himself about the stake and
piling on the fagots Of his
sacrifice for the Southland
for the voters of South Car
DINA.
Senator johnson is granted
permission. The word has
got around about the swear
ing-in ceremony and grad
ually members drift in.
There, hurrying across the
back Of the chamber to his
seat on the Democratic side,
is the Colorado Senator
John Carroll-who finally was
elected after two tries, and
close on his heels the new
Texas Senator-Ralph Var
borough - who finally won
election after three tries.
They settle themselves to get
ready for a new member Of
their club who made 1t after
three tries. That suggests

1t turned up last night in a

hauling to the city dump.

as 1904 Cedarcraft place, Mount
