PUBLISHED FROM 328 STREET, EUREKA, CALIFORNIA, EVERY EVENING EXCEPT SUNDAY, PH. HILLSIDE 2-1711. The Standard's Editorial Policy: Unswerving support oj the principles of democracy; in federal, state and community government; Preservation and advancement of the opportunities for pursuit of private enterprise in California and the Redwood Empire; Unbiased reporting of the news: Preservation of the principles of free speech and a free press; Support of all movements for the betterment, the buautification and the general development of Eureka and other cities and towns of Humboldt county. The Disputed Freeway Beach, bluff or ridge? A proposed new 12-mile stretch of the Highway 101 freeway from a point two miles north of Orick to three-tenths of a mile north of the Del Norte county line, perhaps still ten years in the future, will follow one of those three routes. The "beach" is the admittedly scenic stretch of virtual wilderness area below Gold Bluffs, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.

The "bluff" is a route along the crest of the highlands above it. And the "ridge" is just what it says--a line inland from the present highway and high in the hills. A public hearing by the Division of Highways has been scheduled for 2 p.m. next Monday in the Eureka Municipal Auditorium for the purpose of public discussion on the planning thus far, and to gather public opinion. Choice of the Auditorium by local highway officials appears to be a wise one, for already various civic bodies, organizations and individuals are beating the tom-toms for their own favorite selection.

The final decision will lie with the Stale Highway Commission, a body appointed by the Governor and not to be confused with the State Division of Highways, which is only the work-horse of the highway system. Three issues already have injected, two of them by those ardent conservationist groups, the Save The Redwoods League and the Sierra Club. Those two issues are the demands to leave the picturesque beach unsullied by mere progress, and the number of redwood trees which must be cut to build the freeway. The Save-The-Beach position is supported by the State Division of Beaches 'and Parks, which faces no problems in the construction of any freeway at all The easiest route from the engineers' standpoint, but not being considered, would be to widen Die existing two-lane highway through Prairie Creek State Park. The most expensive, by a mere eight and one-half million dollars more, would be the ridge route.

Monday's hearing is likely to become a highly emotional one if chair-control is not exercised. But it is not necessarily the last hearing on the matter. The Division of Highways will make all of the testimony a matter of record and submit it, with its own recommendation, to the Highway Commission. Depending upon that body's study of the testimony given, it may or may not request the Board of Supervisors to determine if further hearings are desirable. If so, further hearings will 'be held.

The Humboldl Standard, at this time, takes the position that the final route selected be--whichever it may be--that one selected by the highly competent, thoroughly-trained and broadly experienced officials of the State Division of Highways who will have to do the job in the long run. Foreign News Central African Federation At End By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst On Jan. 1 of this year a noble experiment designed to prove ability to live and work together came to an end. Poor and overpopulated Nyas- aland and copper-rich Northern Rhodesia became self-governing British protectorates, with Britain retaining control of foreign affairs, defense and police. Southern Rhodesia, with its cattle ranches and tobacco plantations, resumed its status of self-governing British colony and a policy of white supremacy closely akin to that of its neighbor, the Union of South Africa.

The Central African Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland had lasted just over 10 years and it had collapsed on the same grounds that had led black Africans to oppose it in the first place--the fear of domination by a white minority. Blacks Arc Dominated It is against this background that violence'now sweeps Southern Rhodesia where about 220,000 whites dominate the lives of more than 3.5 million Africans. Politically, the issue lies between Southern Rhodesia's demand for independence from Britain and Britain's refusal to grant it before the whites grant political and social equality to the blacks. Internally, it has meant the fall of moderate Prime Minister Winston J. Field and the rise of Ian Douglas Smigh rancher, World War II hero and outspoken racist.

At 45, he is credited with HIP ability to lead while minority which would seize independence lo block the political threat of a black majority. The new governments' banish ment of Joshua Nkomo, a na tionalist leader, led directly mob action by Africans chani ing "Nkomo owns the land." Externally, it arouses the pos sibility that Southern Rhodesi may become the first colon, since the American Revolutio to declare its independenc from Britain. How Southern Rhodesia goe also effects the future of Afr ca as a whole. The prosperous Union of Soul Africa has been able to folio ts own white supremacy lin artly through the protection juffer stales, of which Souther Rhodesia is one, which cut off from the nationalism of ne' African nations. An independent Southern Rho desia might join with the Un ion of South Africa or it migl seek prosperity through trad overseas, going through Portu ueso Mozambique.

The latter course is haza dous since Portuguese Africa Holdings are under attack African nationalists. In the former course, the Ui ion of South Africa's bordei would move up nex tto those avowed enemies. In that event, the black Afr cans would obtain "privilege sanctuaries" providing avenue of safe attack on the while si premacists in both Souther Rhodesia. a lim have been drawn. For the ment, at least, moderates either side have lost Ihc voice.

And Ihe immediate lure of Southern Rhodesia not a happy one. Editorials Features Comments Getting Ready for Launching NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG News Behind the News By ANDREW TULLY WASHINGTON--Anxious lib- rals among the journalistic exerts are counting Goldwater ut of the Presidential race gain because he didn't win big nough in the Illinois primary, they are pre- ut as usual mature. Goldwater polled some 64 per ent of the Republican votes in lis "heartland of conserva- ism," and the Barry-Can't-Win oys claim this wasn't enough, 'hey point out that Charles 'ercy, the winning candidate or the gubernatorial nomina- ion, topped Goldwaler's total ote by more than 100,000, as this represented total rejec- ion of the Arizona Senator. Such thinking is neither fair or realistic. Percy is a local oy with considerable boyish harm, who might be described a Big Business John Kenedy.

Percy played it cool by re 'using to endorse Goldwater, bu is significant he didn't dare disown the Arizonan. His oft- epeated statement that he pre- erred "no one above" Gold- vater hardly stamped him as )eing all out for Nixon or or Scranton or Rocke- eller.

It was Percy acknow- edging that Barry was hot in the state. GLAMOR BOY To be sure, ercy won by more than 200,000 rates over State Treasurer Wiliam J. Scott, who ran as a Goldwater man, but those who ee a slight to Barry in this are lownrating Percy's personal appeal. 'To most Republicans, 'ercy not only represented success in business but he spelled a commodity that has een in short supply within the llinois GOP. Percy looked like a winner next November, which always impresses the folks.

Hollywood Scene Allen Checked It Out With Garry UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI)--It's no secret that Steve Allen is re- jlacing Garry Moore next sea- s'on as ringmaster of the "I've Got A Secret" show. But Steve didn't take, the job until he checked with Garry. The first thing I did when IBS offered me the spot was call Garry to make sure was the way he wanted Allen said.

"And after I accepted the job Garry telephoned me to say he was pleased I was taking over." Allen, whose own nightly minute show is syndicated on 43 stations, is busy writing three books, uncounted songs, a Broadway play, a i speeches and fighting for causes, now finds it necessary fly to New York every week or so to emcee "I've Got A Secret." Why is he tackling the additional burden. "I undertook the show for a large amount of money," he said, which is a Slraighler answer than you'll get out of anybody else in show biz.

I think the show is twelve ears old, and I know most of 10 people associated with it. on't forget, my wife Jayne as a panel member for seven ears." The current panel, Bill Betsy Palmer, Henry Moran and Bess Myerson, will remain with the show. But Jayne as wrung a promise from that she will till in ir absentee members. Steve interrupted himself to ictate a message into a tape ecorder on his desk.

Steve is an active fighter gainst capila.1 punishment, the light of migratory workers, arcotics addiction, the plight the American Indian. He is ociferously outspoken for civil ights and liberal politics. "I tried to get Marlon Brano on my show to tell us bout the fishing rights of the ndians in the Northwest," said, "hut I haven't had my luck with him yet." Allen takes his crusades se- iously. Asked why he devotes much of his time to these causes, he answered, "a lot of )eople are interested in these hings. I'm a mough to have a checkbook.

He reported that "the powerful bagpipe lobby" in this country has undertaken a campaign to persuade Congress to amend the tariff laws so that bagpipes can be imported duty free. "Make no mistake," he warned, "once they are imported, they'll be played if that's the word." Rather than eliminate the tariff, he added, Congress would do better to double it. "The purpose of tariffs is protection and this is a field in which we feel we all need protection, the more better," he wrote.

As you might imagine, Iho reaction of the bagpipe lobby In this attack was immediate and heated. One spokesman said it had "aroused the ire of all true Scots from the rock bound lochs of Maine to the (leathered glens of Sunny California." Another declared that grfind music o' the pipes instills in ilka bricst an Jihidin' love for freedom, justice and brither man," Still another Asserted Hint the heavenly music of tho Scottish pipes" is "the sound dearest to the hearts of Scot save only the sound of thei mother's singing." Informed- sources reveale that the bagpipe lobby is com posed of 17 members of th Washington Scottish Pipe band And it was further disclosec that the band holds weekl, practice sessions on the campu of Gallaudet College, a schuo for the deaf. An investigation is now un derway to determine whe ther the Gallaudet student re deaf before the bam started practicing there. There is an old proverb to the effect that no body can he neutral about b.ig pipes. Each citizen, therefore must decide for himself how Iv stands on this issue.

I would not like to appear be trying to influence anyone' opinion, but, frankly, 1 amazed to learn Ihat bagpiper practice at all.
