a stormy fight over the public vs private power issue Gore said in an Interview the battle is far from over “There will be a determined fight of at least reasonable duration” in the Senate he said Then Senhe recalled last year’s ate talkathon over the Dixon-Yate- s project in which he was a tie-lin- e first-roun- d 13-da- y leader Gore indicated senators are de- vising new strategy to avoid what they view as mistakes in the House The new plant is being built at West Memphis Ark by the Middle South Utilities Inc headed by Edgar H Dixon and the Southern Co headed by Eugene Yates The private firms have contract with signed a the Atomic Energy Commission to furnish the Tennessee Valley Authority additional power to make up for TVA current to be used after 1957 by atomic plants

haunted by the eyes of India on the East Burmans never trust strangers especially foreigners When the foreigners look hungry Burmans are even more distrustful And there is no question but that as nations both India and China are hungry Torn By War Conflict For 13 years Burma has been ripped and torn by war and internal conflict First it was the Japanese Then came Dacoit robber gangs and six different kinds of rebels to assail the government after the nation was granted its independence by Great Britain in 1948 Now somehting akin to a Buddhist calm is settling over much of the country Behind the man called calm is a Buddha-lik5 U Nu At 48 U Nu is the only prime nation minister this a is has known He complex man in a complex country U Nu is a man of piety Although he believes in no God in the Western sense he rises at 4:30 am every day to pray and to meditate He believes in a way of life— the Buddhist way shaded a little by socialism “I am a dreamer a writer” he has said “slow to go from thought to deed” Follower of Nehru Internationally U Nu is labeled a follower of India’s Jawaharlal Nehru Domestically he too is Yet he counts Communist of YugoMarshal Tito Chou Minister Prime and slavia En-la- i of Red China among his friends Associates say he is neither a neutralist like Nehru nor a Communist like Chou They say he leans to the West slightly and toward world peace heavily The prime minister has made clear his abhorrence of Burmese Communists He attacks them as “one book Marxists”— Communists who have read only one Happy his own home He said in one of his books that residents of his native village regarded him as a street Arab Then he was seized with an appreciation of beauty and a desire to help the oppressed He reformed and took his dqgree in philosophy at the University of Bur-m- a share the apprehension of s Burmese regarding subversion from Red China It is often maintained here that subversion is the only kind of program China ould support now that she was so badly hurt in Korea that another Chinese military offensive cbuld not be mounted for at least five years Stormy Atmosphere Of late Burma’s often stormy political atmosphere has been comparatively calm and U Nu has shown an increasing inclination to take part in internatibnal affairs He stepped into the international arena by asking Red China to release imprisoned American airmen He has also visited Peiping and accepted an invitation to visit Moscow at a date yet to be decided Then on May 28 he left on a tour which will take him to Beirut Cyprus Yugoslavia Egypt Istanbul Israel England the United States and Hong Kong The prime minister is scheduled to arrive in New Yorkl on June 24 He will go to Washington to see President Eisenhower and speak before the National Press Club He will attend several Broadway plays then tour Tennessee Valley Authority installations from Knoxville to i two-mont- h Memphis Admirer of Technology A great admirer of American technology he will visit Detroit Denver Las Vegas California’s Palomar Observatory San Diego Pasadena’s Playhouse where one of his early plays was produced Ellensburg Ore Portland Spokane Seattle and San Francisco before leaving for Honolulu on July 16 U Nu says he is taking the trip to see things and to listen But there are reports in Burma that a big loan may be forthcoming from the United States soon and that the World Bank also may grant a sizable loan Burma needs roads power new crops U Nu talks now and then of making Burma a cotton producing land It needs manufacturing and heavy industry There are many many things Burma could use But she does not want to be beholden to any nation for its help Favors Temperance The man seeking to win these things for his country is a great He believer in temperance neither smokes nor drinks He is a vegetarian except for the occasional inclusion of fish in his diet Although a layman Buddhist he practices his faith more rigidly than most In 1940 he entered the state of bramacharya — sexual abstinence — after fathering five children He wears a skirt — longyi the Burmans call it He is almost never without his gaung baung (head WTap) Like all Burmese of station he wears a collarless shirt The last long trip U Nu made was to Peiping That was last December It was in Peiping at a dinner attended by 1000 persons including top Communist officials that U Nu made one of his forthright speeches The audience cheered until he said “We Burmans do not believe in communism The Americans with their great bravery resources and ability are capable of making the world a better place in which to live Why don’t you agree with them?” Still Talk About It Months later Burmese travelers to Peiping said diplomats were still talking of U Nu’s boldness in making such a speech in the Communist capital U Nu climbed from the depths of disgrace to his present position of international prestige He was a heavy drinker at 12 and was banished by his father from Take Home a Dozen 01 31 Leo’s Donuls 3263 Wilw BlrJ Burma for more than 100 years He landed in jail but was released just before the Japanese seized the country in 1942 Gave Invaders Gifts Hoping the Japanese would be friends some Burmans met the invaders with gifts They got their faces slapped Many Burmans U Nu among them grew to hate the Japanese But that did not stop U Nu from becoming foreign minister in the puppet government of Dr Ba Maw now leader of the opposition to U Nu’s government “I felt though” says U Nu “that when I went around there was a label on my forehead saying ‘made in Japan’” When the Japanese were driven out U Nu who says he never wanted to be a politician hoped to get back to his writing He wanted to become Burma’s Bernard Shaw But assassins killed half of the Burmese council in July of 1947 and the governor called U Nu to form a new cabinet Six months later Britain granted Burma independence Prime Minister U Nu stepped into his most rugged year when he took office Almost half of Parliament and their followers rose against him in fierce political disputes Soldiers Desert Trade declined Government revenues slumped Eight thousand soldiers deserted to the Communists Six thousand Red Thirflag Trotskyites rebelled teen thousand white flag Communists took up arms on orders from Moscow Sixteen thousand Chinese Nationalists were driven into Burma by the Communist Chinese Twelve thousand militant Karens demanded a separate state in the rich rice delta U Nu the peaceful round faced little man had no choice but to fight He fought from 1948 until 1953 Slowly his government gained the upper hand Opponents melted into the jungle Some of the Chinese Nationalists were flown to Formosa The Karens were given a state within the Union of Burma Only the Red flag and White flag Communists some army deserters and a few jungle outlaws now carry on N LOOSE FALSE TEETH IFunniffuire O functionally designed for more casual living to
