In recent years I have revisit-
ed Romania, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Bulgaria, and taken
many trips to Yugoslavia. They
are countries with deep-rooted
culture and a nationalist his-
tory dating back over a thous-
and years, proud of that culture
and history. They are individu-
da lists. But they are so small
that they cannot exist alone.
They need the cooperation and
protection of their big neighbor
in Moscow just as Central A-
merica needs the cooperation
and protection of its big neigh-
bor in Washington.
Actually the Red Army has
been a great economic boom to
these East European countries,
for it gives them protection
without draining their budgets.
Their situation is similar to that
in the United States if we could

for defense and use it on educa-

televised soap operas, but ac-
tually these sudsy epics can
have a real educational value. A
woman becomes so familiar
with the fictional ordeals of her
heroes and heroines that when
an emergency occurs in her own
family life she knows just what
steps'to take to cope with it
There are few disasters in real
life that don’t happen over and
over again in soap operas.
It sure has been a long time,
hasn’t it, since you last saw a
fireman wearing red suspen-
ders?
No woman ever goes truly
content to her grave unless at
least once in her career she has
found out what it is like to be
kissed by a man with a beard.
When you get more than one
post card from friends during
their stay at a vacation resort,
you can be sure they’re having
a rainy time.
You can generally win money
by betting that the first girl to
take off her shoes at a cocktail
party will be one of the last to
leave.
One of the things that puzzles
me is what hatcheck girls live
on during the summer months.
They don’t earn enough in tips
to keep a peacock from anemia.
If that racehorse Damascus
can earn a million dollars, why
don’t the rest of us get paid
more for running around in cir-
cles?
If you’re planning on going to
heaven later, it might be a good
idea now to start visiting your
church more often than you see
your dentist.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) —
The United Steelworkers used to
be known as a tough-talking,
strike-happy union.
In the 13 years betwen 1946
and 1959, the steelworkers
walked out of the mills six
times, for periods ranging from
12 hours to four months
Now it has been almost 10
years since there was a general
strike in the steel industry. The
union's new president, I. W.
Abel, is doing all he can to keep
the boiling point of the current
contract negotiations low.
The secrecy surrounding the
bargaining is the most strict in
memory Even high union offi-
cials below the rank of the top
five-man committee complain
they don’t know what's being
proposed for the crucial wage-
benefits package.
Abel has talked to reporters
only three times since industry-
wide bargaining began June 3.
In the past union ad manage-
ment held news conferences and
described each other's positions
in less than complimentary
terms.
This time Abel has used the
most cautious language when he
has been in public. Leading
questions that give him a
chance to knock the industry
are sidetracked A reporter who
heard Abel tell a closed meet-
ing, ‘If strike we must, strike
we will"—the closest thing to

Lee O. Teague is one of several Oklahomans who have
served so well as an agent for the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation. After 34 years in that career, the native of Gould
will retire to enter another field.
Teague’s FBI activity hasn't been as spectacular news-
wise as some, such as Mountain Views' famed "Jelly" Bryce
long regarded as the fastest gun in the nation. But Teague
has been the kind who not only could bring 'em in but map
the track-down strategy as well.
.. His new assignment will be as director of the Oklahoma
Medical Center Foundation. In this role he will be helping go
after more public enemies. If he is as successful in help-
ing direct the gum-shoeing in the quest of preventions and
cures for killer diseases as he has been in helping bring in
th criminal top 10's, then good days are ahead for the Medi-
cal Center Foundation which makes the disbursements that
mokes hopes brighter for the well-being of the people
W ye
e.
tion, slum clearance, and our
big cities instead.
This is what has happened
in Eastern Europe.
In return for the protection
of the Red Army, however,
Moscow has demanded unswerv-
ing loyalty to the communist
system. And with the exception
of the Yugoslavs, who 20 years
ago kicked over the traces,
Moscow has got it.
This is the basic controversy
between Russia and Czechoslo-
vakia today. The new Czech
government wants to desert or-
thodox communism for demo-
cratic socialism, arrived at by
elections rather than by party
decree.
This is what Yugoslavia has
come around to. It is also pret-
ty close to what West Germany
enjoys—a socialism voted by
the people. Actually West Germ-
any is a long way from having
a capitalist system. So is
France, especially under the
new De Gaulle promise of work-
er participation in factory oper-
ation and factory profits.
In brief, what the Czechs
want is the protection of the
Red Army without the domina-
tion of the Red Army; a social-
ist system voted by themselves,
not imposed upon them.
If left alone, the Czechs and
the Russians will probably work
out their problems. This is the
basic Johnson policy, to keep
hands off.
—Reagan’s Hands-on Policy—
The worst policy the United
States could follow is that of
Gov. Ronald Reagan in Califor-
nia, who signed a procamation
commemorating the anniversary
of the "independent state of
Croatia." This is the Nazi
puppet government formed by
Hitler during the war, and
which some Croatian exiles
want to keep alive despite the
fact that Hitler’s Croatian stooge
massacred 700,000 non-Chaholic
Serbs and 30,000 Jews.
The salughter was denounced
by the Pope and all responsible
Western Catholics Nevertheless
the man who was in charge of
the police at that time, An-
dre Artucovic, has been given
refuge near Long Beach, Calif.,
and his fellow exlies in Califor-
nia continue to stir up trouble.
Fortunately the California
legislature voted to rescind the
resolution commemorating the
anniversary of Hitler’s puppet
Croatia after Gov Reagan had
signed it.
However, the incident illus-
trates the same type of short-
sighted policy advocated by
such men as Rep. Paul Findlay,
R-Ill., and Sen. John Tower, R-
Tex., who want to hamper
shipments to the Eastern Euro-
pean nations which now seek
semi - independence from Mos-
cow.

FOR WEDNESDAY, JULY 24
Your birthday today: You
may find yourself doing things
for which you lack training and
psychological preparation. The
initative remains in your hands,
but there must be careful plan-
ning and discreet attitudes. Ro-
mantic attachments tend to be
easy but tricky. Today’s na-
tives have a way of pleasing the
opposite sex but not their own.
ARIES (March. 21-Apr. 19):
The fresh start would be easy
if you had anticipated the re-
cent changes. Your personal
problem today is in trying to
have things both ways at once.
Don’t blame this on other peo-
ple.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20):
Today promises great results if
you will focus on those things
you have not tried before. Rou-
tine matters are hindered by
people lacking full information.
Partnerships fare better.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Do what you must today, but
nothing more, at least until eve-
ning. Consult your older friends
if you have to begin some new
venture.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Work the normal schedule, sav-
ing puzzles for the end of the
day. Don't fret over the pro-
blems of older people; do what
you can, but go on with your
own life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Today
your personal traditions will be
tested. Be courteous, particular-
ly to visitors and older people.
Check your home safety. But
something small and bright to
make it more comfortable.

there would be no great prob-
lem between Moscow and
Czechoslovakia.
However, public opinion in
Czechoslovakia is running strong
and there are signs painted on
the walls of Prague in English,

To understand the delicate,
potentially dangerous situation
in Eastern Europe you have to
know the countries involved.

Blow, Pacific Wind Blow
As if we didn't already have enough to worry about, we
read the other day that we are using up more oxygen in
this country than is being replaced into the air we breathe.
According to Dr. LoMonf C. Cole of Cornell University,
if it weren't for the air blowing in from the Pacific and else-
where, many of us would breathe our last gasps.
Long ago when this country was mostly forests and grass-
lands, there was more than enough oxygen being produced
for everybody. But not now With rapid industrialization and
its air pollution, a growing population and our ever-receding
greenery which turns carbon monoxide into oxygen by photo-
synthesis, the supply is diminishing.
And, says Dr. Cole, if we keep going on as we have been,
chopping, polluting, paving—even the wind won't be enough
to take care of us. We get short of breath just thinking about
WASHINGTON - President
Johnson has used great skill in
handling the present crisis be-
tween Czechoslovakia and the
Soviet, the most serious crisis
Eastern Europe has seen in
this decade.
If he had talked of liberating
the so-called “ captive nations
as did John Foster Dulles, or
allowed his Vice President to
tour the Hungarian border as
Richard Nixon did in 1956, it
would have been used as an ex-
cuse by the Red Army to take
over Czechoslovakia long ago.
During the Hungarian crisis
Nixon flew to inspect the Hun-
garian rebellion and announced
that “communism had been giv-
en a mortal blow from which it
would never recover.’
Instead Johnson has initiated
a new air route between New
York and Moscow, concluded a
new Soviet cultural agreement,
won Soviet assent to a discus-
sion of missile disarmament.
Aware of the split inside the
Kremlin regarding Czechoslo-
vakia, he has been careful not
to give any ammunition to the
Kremlin rightists who want to
blame all Soviet problems on
“American imperialism.’
When Pravda or Izvestia has
blasted him he has wisely not
replied.
Meanwhile the situation inside
Eastern Europe continues to be
full of dynamite. The Red
Army has 22 divisions in East
Germany, the biggest concentra-
tion of troops anyplace in the
far-flung socialist orbit.
They are there partly to pac-
ify Walter Ulbricht, the commu-
nist boss of East Germany and
No. 1 Stalinist of the communist
world. Were it not for Ulbricht’s

Although there is no douht
that Abel will lead his 450,000
men out of the mills if he
doesn’t get what he wants by
Aug. 1, there is also no doubt
that he doesn’t want to.
It was Abel who backed a pro-
posal for arbitration to avoid
the boom-bust pattern of steel
production that jars the indus-
try in every contract year. The
idea was killed by the’rank and
file.
At the only meeting of the 600
local union presidents in basic
steel, Abel took a great deal of
time to explain the problems of
imported steel. He pointed out
that last year’s imports, 11
million tons, were greater than
the combined output of two of
the nation’s largest companies,
Renublic and Armco.
Translated another way, in-
dustry and union spokesmen sav
last year’s foreign steel meant
56,000 fewer jobs for American
steelworkers.
Foreign steelmakers now
have an annual excess capacity
of 55 million tons—more than
half the needs of the American
economy. A strike will mean
that imported steel will grab
new footholds with long-term
contracts and cost thousands if
jobs., and uninn members.
In addition, when the contract
expires next week. American
steel consumers will have 36
million tons of steel in their
stockpiles, almost four months’
supply in normal times.
And a steel strike does not
shut down domestic production.
The union itself acknowledges
that companies with 20 per cent
of the nation’s steel producing
capacity would continue to oper-
ate because of separate con-
tracts A recent study bv a
Cleveland economist said that,
in the four longest steel strikes,
the industry continued to cast at
40 ner cent of the normal rate.
Those are good reasons to
speak softly.

The World Almanac notes
that in 1475, at Bruges,
Belgium, William Caxton
(14227-1491) printed the
first book in the English
language, his translation
from French of “Histories
of Troy.” Caxton also
printed the first book in
England, an English trans-
lation of “Sayings of the
Philosophers,” in 1477. A
merchant until age 50, Cax-
ton nonetheless produced
about 100 titles, helping to
form English literary taste.
