HEADLINE PERSONALITY
King Mohendro Has
Delicate I ask NepoI

His Majesty King Mahendra
Beer Bikram Shah Deva Of
Nepal, arriving in Washington
today, has one Of the most deli
cate balancing jobs in the world.
AS head of an Arkansas
sized. land-locked, Himalayan
state between Tibet and India,
his main concern today is to
protect his country from the
grasp of Red China. He cannot
afford to be too hostile to the
Chinese, nor can he pay the
cost of being too friendly. The
former course would give China
q Legitimate" cause to over
run the country, while the lat
ter course would turn his
country over to the Reds by
default.
The problem is aggravated
by the primitive nature of
Nepal. a country described by
Marco Polo as wild and
mountainous, and little fire.
quented by strangers, whose
visit the king diScourages."
That description was true
until 10 years ago. The prince
ly Rama clan, hereditary prime
ministers, ruled the country like
a vast estate and held the King
in pawn.
Young King Rules
A rebellion in 1850 sent the
Ranas into exile. The royal
family was brought back to
power and a start on constitu-
tional democracy was made.
King Tribhuvan, father of the
present monarch and leader of
the rebellion. died in 1855 be-
fore the country's first general
elections could be held, and It
fell to young King Mahendra
to bring the task to compile
ton.
The new King had never at
tended a foreign college or uni
versity. And there were no col
leges in Nepal itself he could
60 to. His education had been
mainly done by private tutors.
But through voraciouS reading,
he had acquired a wide knowl-
edge of the world and became
well versed in Nepali, English,
Sanskrit, Hindi and Urdu.
The whole fabric Of a new
nation had to be rebuilt. Had
he wished, he could have i'm
posed one-man rule over the
country. Instead, he invited all
the political and social organi-
cations to a round-table con-
ference in the palace to discuss
and suggest a democratic set
up for Nepal.
Z. S. Sent Rare PIumes
Officially he was crowned
king on May 2, 1855 The
United States Government pre-
sented him with 100 of the ma
jestic golden white plumes of
the great bird of paradise, used
in Nepal in court dresses, and

yet forwarded them to Con-
greSs. Mr.. Lankford already
mas complained about the de-
!ay to the bureau itself.
Expenditure Of up to SIS mil
lion for a storm water over
low to be built in seven years
would be authorized by the
legislation. Informed sources
indicate the Blatnik unit ex-
poets to schedule hearings
sometime in the next several
weeks.

Apprenticeship
Program in DC.
Rises Steadily

An average of nearly 839 ap-
prentices have been registered
each year for training under
approved employers for the past
10 years, the District Appren-
ticeship Council announced to-
day.
The study shows a steady rise
in the number of youths taking
part in the apprenticeship pro-
gram in recent years. In 1859
there were 805 registered as
compared to 1877 registered in
1850, the report said.
1 During the past decade an
average of nearly 334 appren-
tices reached journeyman status
each year. Droup-outs aver
aged ABS per year. The highest
total of completions for a single
year was recorded in 1851 when
497 apprentices became jour-
neymen.
/ At the start of this year there
were nearly 68 registered ap-
prenticeS for each 1000 crafts
men in the District. This was
second only to Arizona, which
recorded rs apprentices per
1000 craftsmen. The District,
however, led the nation each
year from 1850 to 1859.

3 Suspects Held
Within Hour of
HoIdup on Street

Three men arrested within
an hour were charged with
holding up at knife point
George T. McNeel, %, a D. c.
Transit System bus driver,
early today.
Mr.. McNeel of 1880 r street
NV. told police he was ac-
costed while walking in the
1900 block of Rhode Island
avenue NV. While one man
held a knife on him, another
took $40 from his wallet and
hit him in the face.
Detectives Donald j. Allen
and Robert T. Keahon a few
minutes later arrested in an
alley James L. Brown, 10, Of
the 1900 block of Corcoran
street NV. and James z. Ellis,
jr.. 19, of the 400 block of
Oakdale street NV. The
policemen said they also found
a watch belonging to Mr..
McNeel.
Later police picked up Albert
H. Smith, 81, of the 1900 block
OF Fifteenth street NV. at his
home. Police said he had $40,
but denied it came from a

can plane has flown over So
Wet vessels in a dangerous
way.
1T is, of course, common
practice" the U. S. note said,
"for ships and aircraft to estab-
lish mutual Identification in in
ternational waters. In accord
ance with this practice United
States patrol planes often seek
to identify ships encountered
whose position and identity are
not otherwise known, partic-
ularly in the ocean approaches
to the United States.
THE pilots of these planes
are under the strictest instruc-
ton, however, not to approach
closer than is necessary for
this purpose. That the Soviet
government alone should find
it necessary to object to such
identification gives rise to
question as to just what are
the activities of Soviet vessels
that require the Soviet govern
ment to protest such routine
Identification"
The American note also
called on Russia itself to re-
spect freedom of the seas.

Stussen to Puy
Back Wuqe Tax

PHILAD ELPHIA, July 81
(AP) Harold E. Stassen, for
mer Governor of Minnesota
and one-time presidential dis
armament adviser, must pay
the the 1858 city wage tax, the
Tax Review Board has ruled.
The tax, with penalties and
interest, totaled $485. But the
board waived interest and pen
atty because it said there had
been no intent to evade the tax
and Mr.. StasSen had acted in
good faith.
In appealing to the board,
Mr.. StasSen, who unsuccess-
fully ran for mayor of Phila-
delphia last year on the G. o.
P. ticket, claimed he had been
employed in Federal service in
Washington at the time. He
said he had been living in
nearby Maryland and paid a
wage tax to that State.

NenacePeace
BY the Associated Press

The United States has ac-
cused Soviet leaders of delib-
erately trying to provoke inter-
national tension.
The State Department set
forth the United States view
last night in a statement re-
jecting a Soviet protest that the
United States plans to supply
medium-range missiles to West
Germany.
The department said any
weapons going to West Ger
many would be under the Is
nation NATO framework and
that the Western allies will
not be DETECTED from taking
jointly measures which they
deem necessary for their de-
Tense"
The latest Soviet note" the
department added, is on par
with other attempts by the
Soviet government to confuse
the world and to distort the
truth in a transparent effort to
defect attention from those
Soviet actions which are the
real cause of tension.
1T is the threat of unilateral
action by the Soviet govern
ment which constitutes a real
danger to peace in Europe.
1t is actions such as these by
which the Soviet leadership
seeks deliberately to increase
tension"
The statement denounced
Soviet professions of peace" at
a time when Russian leaders
are threatening smaller nations
and seeking to block United
Nations efforts to bring peace
in the Congo.
