Meanwhile appeals are being made locally for funds to help care for these homeless people until they can start life over in some new place. The Red Cross in Cowlitz County has been assigned a quota to raise for Hungarian relief. The Y.MCA, through Its World Service program, also seeks relief funds. From Vienna, Austria, comes an appeal from "Operation Freedom Chain." The letter, addressed to all daily papers, says the refugees continue to pour across the border into Austria at the rate pf 2,000 a day. In three weeks 60,000 have arrived.

Contributions to Operation Freedom Chain are solicited by the Bishop of the Evangelical Church in Austria, the Catholic Archbishop of Vienna and the Chief Rabbi of Vienna. They urge that funds be sent through an individual's church or sent to "Operation Freedom Chain," Manufacturer's Trust 55 Broad New York.

If Egypt succeeds in preventing the re-opening of the Suez canal soon, Europe will be in for a prolonged gasoline and oil shortage. In such a situation the United States can't very well refuse to share its abundance.

Maybe it's a nrohlem of Oppose Reds In Near East BAGHDAD, Iraq MV Five Arab nations were reported Friday preparing to form a solid front to battle the Communist infiltration in the Near East. Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Libya, under Iraqi leadership, are reported already to have launched attempts to bring their nations closer to the United States and bolster their position with regard to the pro-Soviet elements in Egypt, Syria and Jordan. As the Arab world crisis moves steadily east of Suez there is a sense of urgency here. On all sides, except the most extreme left, there are indications of anxious hope that the United States will take strong positive action to help lead the Arab world away from the point of no return.

The action of the five nations' leaders to protect themselves from Communist efforts comes against a background of disappearing British influence throughout most of the Middle East in the wake of fighting in Egypt, wherein Arabs link the British and French with Israelis. Baghdad newspapers Friday published prominently the United States announcement repeating its support of the Baghdad Pact. But in the popular mind the Baghdad Pact itself has become a symbol of the Arab world's bitterness toward the West and the target of the main attack by Egypt and Syria in their attempts to solidify the Arabs behind the Cairo leadership. Arab leaders, scared and worried particularly by events in Syria, privately were begging for leadership from Washington. The United States has been enjoying rising prestige throughout the Arab world during the crisis for its stand on the Suez issue.

Syrian Says Pact Nations Plan Attack DAMASCUS. Syria (ff) Foreign Minister Salah Bitar Friday accused the Baghdad Pact countries along with France and Israel of "preparing the atmosphere for new aggression against Syria." Bitar told a news conference the Syrian government had knowledge of recent military concentrations in Turkey, Iraq and Israel along their borders with Syria. He said Syria is determined to repel any aggression and if attacked she will ask help "from, all nations of the world." The members of t)io Baghdad Pact are Iraq.

Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Britain. Bitar accused Britain, France, Israel and the Baghdad Pact nations of waging "a campaign of lies" against Syria. Ho said this constituted a "grave threat to peace." The minister called the Baghdad Pact "an imperialistic plot" to divide the Arab countries. He said the pact served "Western imperialistic aims."

History-Making Barrier Set Up I water from Swift No.

1 at the base of the dam being constructed by the Pacific Power Light Co. The No. 2 powerhouse will contain two turbines rated at 46,000 horsepower each and driving a generator with a rating of 33,750 kilowatts. The PUD now uses almost 100,000 kilowatts. What makes this partnership project a particularly good deal for Cowlitz is the fact that P.

P. L. has contracted to buy the output of Swift No. 2 until such time as Cowlitz needs it. Since the project will be paid for with revenue bonds, the people of Cowlitz County put up money and risk nothing.

Furthermore Cowlitz has a year's option to take over the Muddy project upstream from Swift. Cowlitz went into the Lewis River development to make sure it would have power in the future, particularly for industrial use. The county has a contract with Bonneville to supply all the power it needs, but that contract will come up for renewal in less than 20 years and it might not be renewed on present terms. It is necessary to look a long way ahead in planning for future power needs. EL CAP, Egypt Ml United radio call to Maj.
