Features WNU T WAS a hot day the late summer of 1673 when Father Marquette and Louis Joliet with their party, after a futile journey down the Mississippi, came back up a stream later known as the Illinois river to claim the land for the glory of France and to convert the heathen for the glory of God. That event introduced Illinois to modern history books, but long, long before SELECTION OF SMITH TO RUSSIAN POST WISE WASHINGTON.

A great inland sea lay over all of Illinois, with huge sharks and armored fishes swimming in it. Ages later, the sea levels were lowered, and there were vast coastal marshes with forests of tall fern trees. Decaying vegetation fell into black water to be compressed and hardened and later to become coal. Eventually the sea dried up, and out of the north came the cold wind to change the tropical climate of prairies and by, men came to live along the rivers and bury their dead in mounds, known as mound dwellers, they were followed by others whom we know as Indians. In those days, herds of bison roamed the lush prairies and drank from the s.

The name Illinois was derived from Illini, a confederation of Indian tribes. In 1720, Fort Chartres and three new villages were established by the French, and the entire district was put under a military commandant. By the, treaty of Paris in 1763, Illinois was ceded to the English, but they couldnt take possession until they made a treaty with Chief Pontiac two years later. Then Illinois became a part of Quebec province in 1774. It was not until 1783 that it was formally ceded to the United States, and then largely because an expedition of Virginians under Gen. George Rogers Clark resulted in virtual conquest of the 'region. Virginia, Massachusetts and Connecticut all held claims to Illinois at one time, but finally ceded their interests to the United States, and the region became a part of the Northwest Territory. wpptu.i.jgj i"'"T!pynJP'irii.j'; r T CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT MISCELLANEOUS non-politic- al glaciers moved southward, crunching and grinding, until there was a sheet of ice covering all but a small tip of the state.

These differences in time and population groups govern much national network broadcasting, particularly from the West coast. For example, as three quarters of the people in the Central zone have gone to bed by 10 p. m. (CST), and in the Eastern zone by 11 p. m. (EST), virtually all programs originating in Hollywood go on the air by 7 oclock (PST) so they will not lose this 67 per cent of their normal potential audience. Hay-mark-et 4. wo-- ; n do? The West Point schooling always has taught practical considerations. For these reasons I judge the permanent mission of General Smith represents a fresh effort by this administration to establish some reasonable and practical grounds for future Russian negotiations. IRAN DEVELOPMENTS REMAIN DEEP MYSTERY This under - interpreted venture seems to me to be equal- ly as important as the Iranian developments which are deeply involved in diplomacy. The filing by the Iranian government of a protest against Russia witb the United Nations security council in its provisional nature, may have been too happily interpreted in this country. On the face, it represented a decision by the Iranian government to stand for its independence. This naturally has raised American hopes that a new stanchion has been built to resist the encroachments Russia has been making upon the ' basic peace - doctrine of the four freedoms. The wiles of diplomacy are such however, that this conclusion mut be hedged. Some underlying doubts in the situation can be found upon analysis of the strength of tle chion.
