Obviously new tack is aimed at achieving one long-sought North Korean the departure of US forces from South Korea President Park Chung Hee oi South Korea may be sensitive to the yearnings of his people for reunification but he would do well to recall the admonition of the late Syngman Rhee South first president It is always easy to find peace and security when confronted with communism Rhee observed All you have to do is surrender and accept slavery he said with unerring accuracy kill their 11 per cent of the work force employed in industry Over-all agricultural production has almost kept pace with the population explosion and can supply most of Egypt's food needs Delta farms even provide two-thirds of exports cotton rice vegetables and fruit though 60 per cent of grain needs must be imported In part the bounty from the Nile is due to the controlled constant irrigation of the delta made possible by the construction of the High Dam at Aswan which also more than doubled electrical generating Industrial production though still rudimentary is said to be up 750 per cent over that of 1952 with a 1971 value of 225 billion Egyptian pounds Profits from the industrial sector in the current year just completed were said to meet 80 per cent of investment planned for the sector Among products now manufactured by Egypt are TV sets refrigerators and air conditioners steel construction rods motorcars buses and tractors Particular emphasis and high hopes are being placed on oil production which has increased 600 per cent bringing in about 250000 barrels a day This boost has occurred despite the loss in 1967 of the Sinai oil fields then the principal producing area to Israel Despite the advances thousands of families live a the bare subsistence level: monthly minimum pay is 9 Egyptian pounds a month Employment is said to be almost full to an observer there appear to be four workers available for every job If all are paid by the government it is relief employment on a gigantic scale And while the last decade has seen a 500-gram increase in daily per capita food consumption most of the increase was in cereals Per capita consumption of vegetables and fruit rose only slightly while meat poultry eggs and milk products fell off a bit am said a young doctor over his breakfast of two tiny boiled eggs monthly eggsfor three By JEANNE KUELLER Copley News Service CAIRO What has accomplished in the 20 years since a group of young army officers including Lt Col Gamal Abdel Nasser ousted King arouk? No longer in dispute is the political importance of the July 1952 coup and its aftermath the sharp decline in Western influence in Egypt and a large part of the Arab world Butwhathas the now being celebrated with typical Arab overstatement actually brought about within Egypt itself in 20 years? What benefits did it bring to the Egyptian economy? To the Nile delta farmer or the city slum dweller? Was the revolution really Socialist? Was it in fact revolutionary? The questions are as difficult to answer as they are pertinent at a time when leaders are in effect deciding which way to go along the road to development under the cabinet or recently appointed by President Anwar Sadat or along the route to the fourth war with Israel Statistics in any underdeveloped country are notoriously unreliable In Egypt where officials are given to announcing detailed plans and programs which often are never heard of again dealing with such matters becomes a journey through never-never land But a few basic facts can be determined gross national product has grown by 25 times since 1952-53 while the population has increased by about 75 per cent from 214 million to 35 million Thus per capita GNP has gained slightly In the last decade per capita income rose 15 per cent almost all of the increase before the 1967 Arab-Israeliwar Despite heavy emphasis on industrialization almost a billion Egyptian pounds were invested in 800 projects Egypt remains over-whelmingly an agricultural society with 49 per cent of the population on the land and only THE AGREEMENT by North and South Korea to take independent steps looking toward reunification is perhaps the most dramatic evidence to date of a breakup in the political logjam that has characterized international relations in the Far East for a quarter of a century The Peking and Moscow summits have apparently convinced Koreans on both sides of the 38th parallel that the Soviet Union Communist China and the United States of America no longer see the division of their country as a major stumbling-block in East-West diplomacy It is time the Koreans can assume for summitry at their own level THIS HINT of rapprochement between the two Koreans will surely send shockwaves throughout the ar not all of them beneficial On the minus side leftists in Japan gain new ammunition for arguing that the Japanese should cut their security ties with the United States On the plus side North Vietnam loses even more justification for refusing to negotiate for peace with the Saigon government The news from Korea is especially embarrassing for Hanoi considering that 40000 South Korean troops are helping the South Vietnamese defend their country In their joint communique Seoul and Pyongyang declare that unification will be sought through Korean efforts without being subject to external imposition or It remains to be seen whether this rule out participation by the United Nations in any negotiations or all-Korean elections a role envisioned foe the UN in 1947 but never fulfilled when the Soviet Union then occupying the northern half of the country refused to go along Kim II Sung installed as head of a Lets talk about religion Faith may restore life Bible text Sing unto God sing praises to his Psalm 68:4 Throughout the Bible we are frequently enjoined to sing our praises to Cod Yet few ever do this except in the fellowship of other worshippers in a House of God hope of help in it with this man in an attempt to make a home to the best of her ability for herself and her children At the point of this writing she is trembling in tears and emotionally disturbed Feeling sorry for herself adding up her list of miseries or reciting again the list of her husband's shortcomings is not going to help her She know's that she turn to her alcoholic mother and her father is dead She lost her faith years ago Facing the reality of her situation is part of the cure No kind words from a counselor or sweet platitudes from a minister are going to help her In the role of a clergyman I talked to her about dealing with her guilt her emotions of hate self rejection and failure Also as a clergyman I could help her recover her faith and find a deeper purpose and a sense of peace that comes in life I wonder if Jane will keep her next appointment I hope she does By REV LEE TRUMAN Copley News Service life is coming apart all around her She resents being a woman with all of the traditional complications of being a mother She loves her four children but because of her life situation she now deeply resents them Her husband is an investment broker making good money but he has a problem with alcohol and he beats her is unfaithful to her and flaunts it She has tried to punish him hv having her own affair hut this has only caused her to be sick at heart and Jane goes through a great deal of self-reproach In her one night of unfaithfulness to her husband she became pregnant and tided to go through with an abortion The reason that she chose abortion was that the man who had made love to her and said that he did love her and wanted her married another girl the next week He does not know yet about the pregnancy Her husband is living a very self-destructive life and now has his driver's license suspended because of drunk driving but continues to drive Jane says that she loves her husband yet at times she hates him intensely wishing to hurt him in any way she tan Why? Because he has hurt her so much Jane is jealous of the woman to whom he gives his attention affection and love While I know that there are many more factors involved in this than I can share therapy for Jane comes clown to what William Glasser calls The question she has to ask herself first is: I keep on living with this man with all of the painful self-destructive life style that he is involved in? If not should I leave both him and the children and just simply Another option is for her to stay with the children realizing that she has no future with any Self-defeating laxity AERIAL HIJACKINGS continue despite a recent order from President Nixon tor stricter searches of boarding passengers on commuter airlines which also underlined the need for tighter across the board security The Federal Aviation Agency also must share the blame for the two most recent hijackings The agency simply has not enforced presidential orders for searching bagga ge and passengers effectively A spokesman for national airlines one of the two involved in the recent hijackings admitted that his company had no metal detection devices in operation at the Philadelphia Airport where the hijackers ooarded the airplane This is a disgraceful disregard of its own self interests as well as federal regulations Why theFAA did not insist on the use of proper safeguards at one of the busiest airports is incomprehensible Because adequate inspection was lacking hijackers boarded the National Airlines flight with sawed off shotguns and a box they said contained a bomb FAA regulations require that all passengers boarding scheduled commercial aircraft in the United States of America today must undergo a personal profile examination and their baggage must be checked The latest two hijackings exhibit that it is time to enforce anti-hijacking regulations fully whatever additional inconvenience they may create in the interest of protecting innocent lives Letters to the editor Conceived in liberty British action piqued colonies FCDDIKDCDDIES To the editor: Surrogate parent Willouby who was Gen Douglas top intelligence officer during World War II His position after Japan's defeat gave him complete access to Japanese archives The book tells of how the Sorge spy ring was instrumental in creating the Pearl Harbor disaster Yes this I thought would make an excellent movie except that the movie and tv industries refuse to make anything but filth sex violence crime and pure unadulterated propaganda not to the best interests of the decent citizens of the US What will it take to awaken producers to do what Disney did ie give the public decent truthful stories but aimed for adults also Stories of this nature are virtually limitless But something bigger than profits guides the destiny of the movie and TV otherwise how can one explain the perverted shambles all around us of a once great industry John Kopezak San Pedro the that some people want it might be all that we can afford to he tinned in After the home-owners pay their taxes to support all the hangers on the freeloaders on welfare and what bonds that are passed by people that don't pay one damn bit of tax it takes a lot of intestinal fortitude for anyone to complain about anyone else improving their home Some day Mrs Starling is going to be a DUD-DIE" herself then we'll see how she likes a freeway going through her backyard We hope she remembers her words of progress "THE SEPULVEDA STREET FUDDIE Dl'DDIES" THE ROBERT THE CHARLES NENAS' THE RICHARD DECENT FILMS To the editor I've just completed reading a fantastic true story entitled by State Schools Supt Wilson Riles does not connect his plan with the fact that elementary school enrollment is falling off and teachers are having trouble finding jobs He has simply convinced state senators that the way to relieve the need for remedial catch-up courses for pupils in later grades is to get youngsters into school earlier Sen Clark Bradley a San Jose Republican who does not buy the argument points out that the attention span of four year olds is roughly five minutes If jobs for teachers are scarce must we hire them as babysitters? Educational theorists have tried almost everything to teach balky youngsters to read and now offer the explanation that the problem is not the teaching methods but the youngsters themselves and the homes they come from This is not only a questionable assumption but one which many parents will surely consider an arrogant one How the state proposes to sandwich its $1 billion five-year experiment into the $3 billion three-year federal experiment is not clear It is al! too clear however that government is trying to get into the nursery through one door or another WITH PASSAGE of the Child Development Act the US Senate has chosen to make the federal government responsible for pre-school training of American youngsters As if sensing an invasion of rights the California Senate has now come up ith a child development program of its own a plan to open the doors of public schools to toddlers when they are three years and 9 months old Heads tails A CLEVELAND doctor has reported to an international organ transplant symposium that he is well on the way toward perfecting the ultimate operation brain transplants Somehow we are not sure the world is ready for this breakthrough As it is modern man is said to be confronted with an All he needs is for the doctor to show him an X-ray and announce that his brain has to come out Still there might be a place for this kind of surgery It would be just the thing to settle those argument where all the other fellow needs obviously is a new set of brains The trouble is probably thinking the same thing about us We were very interested in the touching letter you printed in your June 30th column from Mrs Tiffany Starling She told tier little tale of woe very well about the need for a new school in our area and as she is of younger group of parents whom we think is a honje owner she of course would think nothing of uprooting us old It is really funny how the old "FUDDIE are always the ones that stand in the way of progress yet if we hadn't progressed and improved our property we would all he living in a shim area Granted a new school would be a nice thing to have which if she would have listened at the meeting she would have heard that the Bandini branch is being torn down by 1975 and the possibilities of the new school going up in that area ere discussed Also if she would have listened she would have heard Also if she would have listened she would have heard that the homeowners that live on Summerland that were contacted have already been paid by the city for their property for the purpose of widening Summerland which in turn will alleviate part of the congestion problem Her so-called solution as where to put the new setiool would practically put it in Park backyard and they certainly need two schools The city has put up traffic lights at first and Band-ini and if she would have listened that was discussed We guess she was at that meeting but what she heard and what we heard were two different programs May be we can't take our carpet and drapes with us but at the rate it is going and as the homeowner has to pay for all and Canada as agreed under the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 marking the end of the War of 1812 The weather is so warm in England that 11 horses attached to stage coaches moving between Ixmdon and Cheltenham dropped lifeless on the road within one week of early June 1872 Ottmar Mergenthaler born at Wurttemberg in Germany in 1854 arrived in the United States at this period aged 18 Already a watchmaker by trade he went to work for the US Government in Washington to keep clocks and electric bells in good order in government buildings He moved to Baltimore in 1876 and began work on perfecting a machine to set type mechanically rather than by hand letter by letter The result was the first practical machine to accomplish that purpose later known as the Linotype completed in 1886 in its first operating model He had received financial support in his venture from the New York Tribune where the first machines were put to use in that year and from the Chicago Daily News and the Ixiuisville Courier-Journal which were the next to use the machines followed in time by virtually all other newspapers and printing offices Mergenthaler also invented a machine to make fruit baskets of veneered wood In Canada a charter is granted to the Canadian Pacific Railway to provide land and a subsidy from the Dominion Construction on the railway is not to begin for several years however The first railway in Japan is opened for public service on the 18-mile run between the port of Yokohama and Tokyo the capital Desmond NOTE: This is one of a series of weekly columns recalling events in the history of the nation and of the world 200 150 and 100 years ago 1772 In Massachusetts Thomas Hutchinson tne roya!
