Reopportionment

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 90
(AP). - The State Supreme
Court threw out today a con-

measure that had been on the

held that Gov. j. Howard Ed

The case hinged on whether
the reapportionment question

Family Camping
Gains Popularity

The trend toward family camp
ing in the 454 campgrounds of Sc
areas of the Dep artm ent of the
Interiors National Park System
where camping is major recre-
ational activity will undoubtedly hit
an all-time high thi year, National
Park Service Director Conrad l..
Wirth said recently.
The new record should surpass
last years 100000 camper days,
as park superintendent make in
creasing efforts to accommodate
campers who want the experience
of spending night in the park.
The term camper day" means
one person spending a night in one
of the parks.
While all kinds of campers are
making increasi use of the parks,
said Mr.. Wirth, family groups are
predominant. No other experience,
he added, brings a family closer
together or teaches them the "pio-
neering characteri sites" of all
for-one and one-for-all.
Campgrounds are normally To-
Gated near the sc enic features
which attract visitors to the park.
Campgrounds have been developed
in manner to offer the mo st seem
ic views but not encroach upon the
natural beauty of the park.
The expanding number of camp
sites is part of the National Park
Services Mission 66program, de-
signed to be completed by 1866,
and which will ssure the maximum
protection of the scenic, scientific,
wilderness and historic resources
of the National Park System for the
present and future generations. He
added that by 1866, the Park System
plans to have availa bic 10000
campsites of which 1900 are now
in use. This is an increase of more
than 1900 over the number avail
able when Mi ssion sc was initiated
in 1856.

Guerrilla War

Since it is a guerrilla war, how

is sure from day to day where the
fighting will break out next.
Helped by friendly Pathet Lao
forces in neighboring Laos, the
Wet Cong have entered South Wet
Nam on the West, and have landed
at night along the eastern coast.
Fighting can be found on the out
skirts of Saigon and in the border
regions in the north.
The United States is determined
to support the Diem regime and
has stepped up military and eco
nomic assistance to the country.
The establishment of a new COM
mand under Gen. Harkins should
bolster South Wet Mans morale.
1t also should improve the effici-
ency of the United States military
mission, which officially just lad

Russians:
A Swap

The United States and the
Soviet Union traded convicted
spies early yesterday morning.
The United States returned So
Wet secret agent Col. Rudolf /.
Abel and the Soviet Union re-
turned U-2 pilot Francis Gary
Powers.
From the time that U-2 pilot
Powers was sentenced to 10 years
Imprisonment in August of 1860,
there has been continual specula-
ton about a swap involving him
and Col. Abel.
Both men were espionage agents
entrusted with the most delicate
kind of work. Col. Abel was the
traditional spy acting as a
Brooklyn artist living in a studio
that was secretly equipped with
short wave transmitters, sabotage
tools, and microfilm cameras.
Mr.. Powers flew a U-2 plane
over Russian territory to take
films of missile bases, and to tape
record Russian radio signals. He
was not involved personally in his
work to the extent that Col. Abel
was, and some people believe that
is why Mr.. Powers confessed SO
readily and Col. Abel never has
talked.
Although the trade was an OBJ
vious one, two vital questions are
unanswered.
Was it trade solely arranged
to retrieve valuable agents? Or are
there political implications in
volved?
The Soviet Union never has told

Could Change

Mr.. Powell, of course, could
change his mind. At the moment,
however, the prospects for con-
gressional approval of a public
school construction there is a
shortage of $4,000 classrooms
and teachers salaries program
does not appear bright.
Meanwhile, the Presidents COL
lege-aid program has run into a
roadblock. After the Senate passed
it's version, a $2.6 billion package
containing funds for construction
of classrooms and for scholarships,
it was sent to the House where it
must be cleared for joint Senate
House conference. The House.
approved bill was more modest
SIS billion-and it did not include
any funds for scholarships.
When the Senate measure
reached the House an attempt
was made to gain unanimous
consent to send it directly to con-
ference. But Representative Quie,
Republican of Minnesota, OBJ
jected. Now it must be cleared by
the Rules Committee.
This group will not meet for two
more weeks and even then it does
not have to take up the matter at
once. Furthermore, it may, before
it gives its approval, exact a
promise from House conferees that
they will insist that the Senate
drop its demand for scholarship
aid.

it's people about Col. Abel, and
thus, when it announced Mr..
Powers release, it did not mention
the swap.
y Instead, it said the release was
taken by the Supreme Soviet in
the interests of improving Soviet
American relations. This was the
same line taken by the Soviet
Union last year when the two
RB-47 flyers were released.
But, so far, the Soviet Union
has not followed up its previous
declaration with concrete ACTIONS.
Instead, the Berlin situation is
still unresolved, fighting continues
in Southeast Asia, and there seems
to be no progress in sight in dis
armament.
In fact, last week, the Russians
tried to haraSS the Allies in Ber-
lin over air corridor rights stat
ing that planes could not fly be-
meath a certain altitude in the
Allied corridor. This was rejected
by the Allies, but it was indicative
of the sensitive position in which
the Allies find themselves in Ber-
lin, ITO miles within Communist
territory.
The Powers-Abel swamp, how
ever, is definitely positive action.
It does indicate that for the mo-
ment, at least, the Russians do not
want to widen the cold war gap
any more than it is now.
Some observers believe that with
intramural strife with Red China
increasing, the Russians may want
to reach an understanding with
the West. Others feel that the
Powers-Abel swap is just another
Soviet attempt to persuade the
West to relax before making some
new demand.
Others see the move as an at
tempt by Mr.. KhruShchev to prove
his peaceful intentions to his own
people who are worried about a
future war. And in the much
discussed court Of world opinion"
the Soviet Union may try to ex-
plot the trade as a sign 1t
wants peace, but the soon-to-test
Americans do not.
The United States probably was
interested first of all in returning
Mr.. Powers to this country. Penta-
gon and C.. I. A. officials want to
know what went wrong on his ill
fated mission, and undoubtedly.
Mr.. Powers will have much to say
about his capture, and subsequent
treatment.
In addition, President Kennedy
has been making a great effort to
keep channels Of communication

The Developments

These were the developments
last week which indicated that the
United States is on the verge of
testing again:
At his press conference, the
President made it clear that prep
arations for such tests we're al
ready underway. He said the tests
would be held if necessary for
United States security and the de-
cision announced by the end of
the month. ~
William c. Foster, chief
United States disarmament Of
fetal, said on Friday that in the
last month, scientists have de-
termined that the Soviet Union
had achieved Substantial gains"
in their test series last fall.
lone more such advantage"
Mr.. Foster continued. might &C
tually give them a superiority in
the anti-missile or other strategic
areas"
. The United States and Great
Britain announced that Christmas
Island would be used for a test
site, and that the two countries
would cooperate on an under
ground test in Nevada.
Mr.. Kennedy said the United
States still was seeking a nuclear
test ban treaty, but his terms for
the treaty have been stiffened in
the light of the Soviet violation of
the moratorium last fall.

Algeria:
Climax Near

President de GaulIe said last
week that an accord with the
Algerian rebels would be reached
"very SOOn." AS a cease fire grew
near, however, extremists in
France and Algeria continued
to fOment disorder.
The Algerian War of Independ-
ence started early in the morn
ing Of November /, 1854 with a
series of bomb explosions, gun
shots, and fires in more than 10
parts of Algeria.
AS the war enters what most
observers believe to be its last
week, the bombings, the gun shots,
and fires have not slackened in
the least. The only difference is
that for the most part these ter
rorist acts now are being COM
mitted by Frenchmen in opposi-
ton to their Republic. In 1854,
they were committed by Algerians.
A new element was added to the
growing pattern of violence last
week when the Communists staged
a mammoth riot in Paris that led
to eight deaths and 260 injuries.
Whether caused by the left or by
the right, however, the demonstra-
tons apparently are not slowing
down the pace of the negotiations
being held in Tunis between the
French and the Algerian rebels.
The right-wing - the super
secret OAS-wants Algeria to be
French. The Communists want an
end to the GAS. The government
wants to let Algeria decide its own
fate so long as French interests
are not violated.

The Advisers

Officially, according to the 1854
Geneva treaty that divided Wet
Nam into a Korea-like north and
south, no country can have more
than 685 military advisers. A con-
sentative guess is that the United
States has sent 1000 to South Wet
Nam already.
1t is clear that the North Wet
Namese have not followed the
letter of the agreement either.
They have been infiltrating South
Wet Nam in increasing numbers,
assasinating about 500 people a
week.
The Pentagon estimates that
there are now about 10000 guer-
rillas within South Wet Nam, wait
ing for the Diem government to
collapse. Until recently, the war
has been fought in the night, in
the jungle, in isolated areas. But
lately this "subterranean war
in President Kennedy's words has
been erupting more and more into
the open.
