Tunis Comes to Ike as Presidents Discuss Al giers

WITH EISENHOWER AT SEA R - President Eisenhower re- ceived the cheers of thousands of Tunisians yesterday, and discusssd with President Habib Bourguiba the war in Algeria. He then re- sumed his voyage to Toulon, France, aboard the U. s. cruiser Des Moines.
 White House Secretary Hagerty said the two Presidents in their Tunis meeting endorsed French President Charles De Gaulle's proposals for ending the Algerian conflict by an offer of self-deter- imitation. Hagerty stressed that the two Presidents did not seek to settle the conflict, leaving that to the Algerians and French them selves.
 A joint communique issued an hour after the Presidents brief visit, said the two leaders agreed failure to achieve a solution in Algeria was of "grave concern" "
 "The achievement of self-de- termination by African and Asian peoples is one of the most inn portant events of our. times" the communicate said.
 Returning to the scene of his North African triumphs as a gen. eral in World War II, Eisenhower was hailed by thousands of shout ing Tunisians as he landed at La Marsa, a Tunis suburb.
 A helicopter flew him from the Des Moines to the specially built landing spot only a few hundred yards from Bourguiba's white Moorish-style palace.
 Because the President was not scheduled to enter Tunis during his three-hour visit, hundreds of buses and trucks brought thous- ands of spectators to La Marsa. The watchword of Tuniia's ruling Independence Party was "Tunis Will Come to Him."

New Mexico Town Hosts 300 Captive Winter Tourists

VAUGHN, N. M, LR| m The sun broke through for the first time in four days over Vaughn and hundreds of motorists stranded in the east plains COW town yester- day began to move out.
 The normal population of about 1,400 had been swelled by 800 un- willing guests, travellers stalled by a heavy snowfall which blocked all highways out of the town.
 Traveling still was limited, with routes clear only to the south west and northeast.
 State Police headquarters in Santa Fe said early yesterday U. s. 54 was open from Vaughn to Santa Rosa and from Vaughn westward to Alamogordo and FL Paso. Still blocked was U. s. 285 to the south and north.
 Meanwhile, an air operation to provide feed for livestock cut off by the heavy snow continued.
 A spokesman from Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque said two GAYS from the Air Force Spe- cial Weapons Center took off after 8:30 am. They were flown to Ros- well to pick up hay to be dropped to cattle and sheep in the Vaughn, Encino and Fort Sumner areas.
 The City Hall was opened and its large auditorium was crowded with adults and children sleeping on mattresses and blankets pro- vided by toWnspeople.

Patrol is open to any citizen of the United States, Is years of age or more, of good moral character, who has an interest in working actively toward the attainment of the CAP objectives.
 Any hope of attaining the mis- sion objectives of the Civil Air Patrol requires a sound working organization, able to respond i'm mediately to emergency calls, and to daily carry out the continuing educational and administrative functions.
 The U. s. Air Force assists in the organizational effort, by pro- viding a National Headquarters staff, recently re-assigned from Boiling AFB, Washington, p. C., to Ellington AFB, Texas. This staff is under the command of Brigadier General Stephen D. McElry, USAF, and is charged primarily to aid and coordinate the youth education program. In addition, General McElry has USAF officers under his command assigned to each of the eight Civil Air Patrol Regional Headquarters, and to each o fthe 52 Wing head quarters. These officers act as liaison representatives between the Civil Air Patrol and USAF. Each state constitutes CAP Wing, which, together with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, comprise the 52 total. The Alaska Wing is part of the Pacific, or 9th Region, which includes Neva- da, Washington, Oregon, Cali fornia and Hawaii
 Basic Unit
 Each Wing is composed of an unlimited number of Squadrons, which constitute the basic opera tional unit of the Civil Air Patrol SquadronS are organized Wher- ever a minimum of Is individuals have sufficient interest, initiative and ambition to organize and op- crate the Squadron. Here in Alas ka, because of low population, a special organizational unit is authorized, termed a Search and Rescue or Communication Flight, and can consist of any number, from a single member up to IA.
 Each operational unit is direc- ted by a Squadron or Flight Com mander.
 In a continuing series of re- ports, an effort will be made to bring to all members of this com munity the details of the methods and results of the Civil Air Patrol, local, State and National.

KNOW YOUR CIVIL AIR PATROL
 Released by F. s. RHODE. CAP Commander

On December 10, a headlined article appeared in the Anchorage Times that highlights the critical importance to all Alaskans to ''Know Your Civil Air Patrol" '" The article covers a news release made by Senator Bartlett, report ing the early de-activation of the Fist Search & Rescue Squadron, the last military command spe- officially charged with search, res cue and emergency medical evac- uation, and will become effective March l, 1960
 Greater Burden on CAP
 Col. Earnst Smith, commander of the 71st S&R Squadron, said the de-activation order will place a substantially greater burden on the Civil Air Patrol, in perform ing much of the service formerly carried out by the S&R Squadron.
 With the increased responsibili- ty, it becomes imperative that the people of Alaska learn about their Civil Air Patrol - it's missions, organization and channels of sup port It is extremely important for people in our area to support their local CAP Squadron by pro viding local membership support, if the Patrol is to carry out it's missions and responsibilities.
 Organized Tn l94l
 The Civil Air Patrol is Is years old this month. It was organized on December 1, 1941, to give wings to the nations civil defense ef- forts as an agency of the Office of Civilian Defense. It played a heroic role in antisubmarine pa trol of the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts in early days of World War II, and, as result, the CAP was transferred to the War Depart ment early ln the war.
 The Civil Air Patrol also flew courier missions for the military - performed tow target missions, southern border patrols, and innum era able non- combatant services.
 With the end of World War II, and the sudden end of the war time missions, the Civil Air Patrol and the fledgling U. s. Air Force re-evaluated the areas of service requiring the non-military air and ground support available through the CAP. z Three Missions
 Three main mission areas were immediately apparent - first, the recurring demand for search, res cue and emergency medical evacu- ation;s second, the need for an emergency communication net work, and finally, to perform a vast educational program to devel- op an awareness among all citi- zens, of the importance and sig nificance of air power, and to pro- vide a continuing pool of fledg- ling airmen, civil and military, on the ground and in the air.
 Thus, with these three major objectives, the Civil Air Patrol was granted Congressional Cor poration Charter, and designated as an unpaid Civilian Auxiliary of the United States Air Force. Membership Open 10 All

The crowds waved and cheered during the short parade to Bour- guiba's palace where the two men talked over a lamb chop break fast.
 Crowds, estimated at 100000, swarthy men in thick burnooses and women in white robes, ap- plauded, shouted and waved as the President drove the six miles to Fl Aoina Airport and took off again in his helicopter for the Des Moines.
 The crowds had come not only by truck and bus, but by donkey, bicycle, and afoot.
 Eisenhower shook hands warm ly with Bourguiba before boarding his helicopter while an Army band played martial music.
 In final gesture of friendship, the two leaders linked arms and raised them together.
 Eisenhower's helicopter came down at La Marsa at the wrong end of the specially prepared landing strip, and Bourguiba had to race across the field to extend his welcome.
 His plain-spoken words at the outset may have surprised Eisen- hover a little.
 "Your visit" the Tunisian President said, twill bring high hope and promise to the peoples of Africa fighting decisive battle for human dignity, battle both to liquidate the last outposts of a stubborn colonialism and to res cue themselves from backward ness and privationS."
 The communique on colonialiSm in Africa was far more diplomatic, saying only that the two leaders welcomed "the opportunity of fered> for the new relationships and improvement of old ones based on a common attachment to fundamental principles of human rights and dignity"

Bitter Melon Good With Fish, Meat
BY JAMES slRcHFIELD

MOTE interesting tnlnko tor

Eugene M. Jose. who must do
his gardening on q restricted
scale in Washington. sent In
the other day seeds Of a melon
and a bean. natives Of the
Philippines.
Mr.. Jose says his melons are
"for gourmets only" and he
not only told me how TO plant
them. but how 10 cook them
when they ripen. The beans.
he says. are excellent when
cooked with chicken or stew
meat.
The melon is the Ampoyo. or
bitter melon. and should be
planted indoors and then trans
planted 10 q sunny spot outside
when the ground is very warm.
Needless to say. we haven't
gotten ours outside yet.
When ripe, the bitter melons
are to be served with fish. any
type Of meat or with rice. Here
is how Mr.. Jose said they
should be cooked:
First you cut the melon in
half and boil the halves for
five minutes in salt water. Then
you remove the halves from the
water, cut them into small
slices crosswise and put them
in a sauce of anchovy paste
and lemon juice.
This is a dish for kings, Mr..
Jose says.
The Gervilla beans he sent
along also will do well If start
ed indoors, Mr.. Jose says. They
are a pole bean, and should be
cultivated as you would Ken
lucky wonders.
Cook them very briefly. he
says, and serve with chicken
or meat.
We will report later on our
luck with the melons and
beans.
A package came today from
Irving c. Steurer, vice presi-
dent of the Henry Field Seed
g. Nursery Co. of Shenandoah,
Iowa, and in it we're a few
seeds that Mr.. Steurer thought
might be interesting to try in
our Virginia garden.
There were orange sugar
stick watermelons, Fields early
supercrop hybrid cucumbers,
ruby red lettuce, Y-81 hybrid
sweet corn, a package of bears
paw popcorn and a packet of
merry-go-round zinnias just to
keep the garden bright and
colorful.
Mr.. Steurer had good words
for the Blue Coco, or Blue Pod
beans as they are listed with
him.
Everything you said (about
the beams is true" he wrote.
1T is a good variety and more
people should be growing pole
