Show THE TIMES- - NEWS, NEPHI, UTAH PAGE TWO Aleman Proves A 'Good Neighbor Mexican President's Visit Boosts Friendly Relations - - - , Z" $ ' I- - VACATION . If', D. C. Despite the fact that relations between the United States and some of our sister republics to the south have degenerated considerably since the inventor of the "good neighbor" policy died that's not the case with Mexico. You would realize that if you had e seen the high in demonstrations that took place when Pres. Miguel Aleman visited Washington. The first meeting and greeting on Constitution avenue had the inspira tion of local WASHINGTON. all-tim- but there was no out-- s i d e stimulant into a what was really rip - roaring response to the lanky and smiling Latin when he visited congress on May Day. More than a few of his hearers could follow him in the Spanish and every-bod- y injected could ' r.v Little news was brought out beyond what Aleman had said to congress or what was in the Joint statement concerning loans for Mexican industrial and agricultural development. But there was one, last question: "What impressed you most on your visit, Mr. President?" "Arlington and Mount Vernon," he replied, "The enduring lessons of George Washington, the great father of your country, must be constantly taught and rehearsed In your country." And so the Truman gesture at Chapultepec was reciprocated. Mexico Embarking On Six-Ye- Plan ar Mexico still has some credit pre- BAUKHAGE match up his liquid phrases with the translation they held in their laps. The speech was short and snappy. When he was through, senators, representatives and the packed galleries couldn't stop applauding even after el Presidente had disappeared. Applause burst out again and again for almost everybody as they passed up the aisle. Senator Vandenberg, who usually is associated with foreign relations of another sort, got a generous share along with the cabinet members and diplomatic corps. From the rostrum of the house of representatives, Aleman said that "nearly 300 million people living side by side in this hemisphere are concerned not only with assistance to ward off foreign aggression, but also with the efforts to overcome the dangers of poverty and despair in the difficult years of peace." A little bit earlier that day a joint statement had been issued, signed by both President Truman and President Aleman, stating that agreements had been reached for the U. S. to grant credits to Mexico credits to make the greatest and earliest contribution to the economic development of the land below the Rio Grande. The two chief executives agreed that their respecmust exert tive administrations every effort to raise the standards of living in their countries, increasing productivity and, consequently, purchasing power. Confusion Prevails At News Conference We newsmen had our own "hast a la vista" later that afternoon in Blair-Le- e house, a part of the twin residences turned over to visiting dignitaries for a press and radio conference which came near being chiefly a photographic contest. It was a struggle, unseemly indeed, in that somewhat precieuse setting of antique furniture, pale green walls, wide mirrors and not very large early American rooms. Not large enough anyway for the mob which surged about between the little bar, the battery of cameras and the doorway into the garden through which el Presidente was to appear. Dogwood in the garden looked over the brick wall, somewhat startled at the noisy gathering. At last the tall smiling figure, flanked by secret service men, appeared. He sat at a table. The newsmen crowded around him, completely cutting off the cameras. The newswomen's huire hats completely screened the klirg lights. A controversy of no little heat ensued and no little heat exuded from the high candlr-powe- r bulbs and the normal radiation of a hundred or so energetic human beings. Finally the newsmen were pushed bark and the cameras set to work. Some of t!e reporters were pushed clear out of range and I saw one hapless gentleman wedged tightly between the bar and the of backs three husky Mexican pressmen. The poor fellow's right hand was pinioned so was impossible. Only his left arm was free, and that was deep in the middle of a rest of What else could he do about it? (Salud y pesetos!) The photographing continued. The photographers in front wouldn't stop. The newsmen cried. "Enough!" One reporter, reversing the ancient proverb sighed. "One word Is worth a thousand pictures." The photographer yielded. "Do they do this in Mexico?" asked an American reporter, archly. "They do this in Mexico," answered a Mexican reporter, in perfect English, white teeth gleaming. hel-less- note-takin- g icotch-and-soda- viously approved by the Export-Impo- rt bank which she hasn't used.

Mexico is an agricultural country without too much arable soil; she needs to raise more to feed herself properly. To do this will require six times as many irrigated acres as at present. The joint statement also indicated that the two presidents were working out an arrangement to stabilize exchange which would permit Mexico to buy American dollars when she needs them to buy American goods, and sell them back when she six-ye- irniinfiiiiimiinliininiir'--- - "" GOOD NEIGHBOR Warns Aggressors can spare them.

Quick settlements of 28 other disputes followed the acquiescence of the long lines workers to the new terms. The increase means about 11 cents per hour pay boost, vacation benefits and certain other concessions, such as seniority rights. About 22,000 workers in 42 states are affected. The agreement was announced by Asst. Secy, of Labor John Gibson and Conciliation Director Edgar Warren, after a IVi hour night session with representatives of the unions and the American Telegraph and Telephone company. Strikes against local companies of the Bell system were settled on substantially the same terms. Besides the wage hikes and other benefits the contract with the long distance workers was practically a renewal of old terms, which were extended for one year. A clause permits either the union or the company to begin negotiations, after September 1, for reclassification of towns to readjust wage schedules. Officials of the long lines workers' union indicated the members would not cross picket lines of striking local telephone workers.

Hold-ensvill- e, above the valley nearly a mile, and El Capitan, nearly 4,000 feet of perpendicular granite, are the waterfalls of this magnificent park. Upper Yosemite fall has an unbroken drop of 1,430 feet; Ribbon fall is even higher, with a 1,612-fodrop. Numerous others range from 300 to more than 600 feet in height. Unfortunately, for the late summer visitor, many of these waterfalls go dry when there has been by little rain or snow in the high country. According to geologists, the deep valleys of the west slopes of the Sierra were carved by the rushing waters of the same streams which now flow down them. Originally and narrow, the Yosemite and others were invaded by glaciers during the ice age and these, moving forward with inexorable force and power, ground away the sides of the valleys to give the present-da- y canyons their Yosemite valley is probably one of the most heavily used areas in the entire park system. On some days, as many as 30,000 persons have'been in the valley at one time; as many as 12,000 persons have occupied its campgrounds in a single night. These, of course, are weekend and holiday crowds; consequently,, the visitor who wants to avoid them will plan his visit at other times. mid-Augu- st IN ALL THREE of the High Sierra parks there is good fishing, for which a state license is required. Each also contains a great variety of wild animal and bird life. As in a number of the other parks, too great familiarity with the larger species, particularly black bear and deer, and the feeding of these animals by visitors are discouraged by National Park service. The "gentle deer" Is possessed of razor-shar- p hooves, which can and do cause serious Injuries to incautious visitors. The bears also should be viewed at a distance, for their apparent tameness is deceptive. Feeding these animals is no kindness to them; foods prepared for human consumption cause them serious digestive troubles as well as getting them out of the habit of seeking their normal and natural foods. Both Sequoia and Yosemite have a wide variety of public accommodations, ranging from simple housekeeping cabins on up. Both offer accommodations throughout the year and are very popular in winter since they offer excellent snow and ice sports. Accommodations for visitors to Kings Canyon are found only in what was formerly General Grant National park, although many use facilities at Giant Forest in Sequoia, 30 miles farther away.
