OUR OPINION
Scenic Spots Despoiled
When the people ol this nation ran no longer use a national
park without fear of being robbed, raped or murdered, it is
time we stopped coddling criminals and disorderly members
of society, and began thinking of the Tights and protection of
law abiding citizens
Ttie Wall Street Journal reports that in California's Yose-
mite National Park the crime rate lias jumped 253 percent
during the last decade In 1972 alone, this particular park was
the scene of three murders, three rapes, seven robberies,
1H assaults. 142 burglaries and 624 thefts Disorderly con-
duct became such a problem that a special section was set
aside solely for the use of rowdy young people so that they
would not bother other visitors That was a major error* for
the young people took over this section and drove out the park
rangers
There is much to support the view that it is time to adopt
a hard line on crime, regardless ol where it is committed
Beefing up police forces and law enforcement classes will
help curb, the actions of those who do not respect the rights
or property >f others But greater assurance of apprehension
will not deter the wrongdoer unless he is also reasonably cer-
tain that a fair hearing, court action and some penalty will
follow his unlawful acts Special areas should not be set aside
for the disorderly in our national parks any more than an ha
bitual criminal should be allowed to roam the streets. These
people are a threat to the lives, rights and property of all
those around them Progress in the effort to ‘curb criminal
action has been made. More must be achieved if the time is
to come again when it will be possible to walk the streets of
our great cities without fear of being assaulted, and if the
places of beauty in our national parks are to be sanctuaries of
nature's tranquility for all to enjoy
thoughts
From The Living Bible
All the peo|ilo are to come
together Before the, Lord,
saddened by their sin; and
they shall offer sacrifices
by fire to the Lord. Don’t
do any work that day, for
it is a special day for mak-
ing atonement before the
Lord your Cod. Anyone
who does not spend the
day in repentance and sor-
row for sin shall be ex-
communicated from his
people. And I will put to
death anyone who does
any kind of work that day.
This is a law of Israel
from generation to gener-
ation. For this is a Sab-
bath of solemn rest, and in
it you shall humble your
souls.

Warning From King Faisal
by Jack Anderson
(Copyright. I»7J. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc >
WASHINGTON - In pri-
vate messages to President
Nixon, Saudi Arabia’s King
Faisal has warned that he is
under tremendous pressure
to shut off the oil spigot if the
U. S. appears to be siding
with Israel in the Middle
East conflict.
Sources who have had ac-
cess to the messages tell us
the King's language is
careful but the meaning is
unmistakable. Faisal tells of
past Arab pressure on him to
hold back oil from the U. S.,
which has asked him to in-
crease production to meet
the anticipated shortage
here.
Arab passion over the war,
he suggests, has intensified
the pressure on Saudi Arabia
to halt all oil shipments to the
West. He implies cautiously
that he won’t be able to with-
stand the pressure if the
U. S. seems to favor Israel.
Before the Syrian-Egyp-
tian attack upon Israel,
alleges one intelligence re-
port, Faisal agreed to pro-
vide the money to replace
Egypt's military losses.
Another Intelligence report
claims Faisal also promised
to relocate Egypt's civil air
fleet in Saudi Arabia during
the renewed hostilities. At
this writing, however, we
have been unable to learn
whether Egyptian plants
have actually been moved to
Saudi soil.
Footnote: The bridging
equipment that the Egyptians
used to cross the Suez canal,,
apparently, came from the
Soviet Union. Months ago, a
secret intelligence report
asserted: “The USSR has sup-
plied Egypt with enough
bridging equipment to lay up
to nine bridges 260 meters
long, with a carrying capaci-
ty of 60 tons each, as well as -
two bridges with a carrying
capacity of 12 tons each. The
USSR also has provided
Egypt with 30 sets of
minefield breaching equip-
ment to open passages" on the
Israeli side of the Suez.
Kissinger Vs. Sisco — Before
the Middle East outbreak, say
competent State Department
sources. Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger was prepar-
ing to ease out his top Middle
East expert, Assistant Secre-
tary Joseph J. Sisco.
The able Sisco has dis-
tinguished himself by his han-
dling of the delicate Israeli-
Arab problem. But the Mid-
dle East, according to our
sources, is an area that
Kissinger intends to manage
personally.
Further. Sisco has been one
if the few State Department
•fficials with the courage to
•uck Kissinger. During the
ndia-Pakistan war, for ex-
mple, when Kissinger was
xhorting the State Depart-
ment to abandon the avowed
!. S. policy of neutrality and
tilt" for Pakistan, Sisco
quietly dug in his heels.
Meanwhile, Kissinger has
been secretly rebuilding his
National Security affairs
staff. At his bidding, Winston
Lord, a protege who has been
on leave, has now returned to
Washington and is back at
work in the White House
basement.
The fact that Kissinger had
Lord’s telephone tapped
hasn’t seemed to trouble
Lord who has frequently tra-
veled with Kissinger. At the
Paris peace talks. Lord was
photographed carrying
Kissinger’s bag.
“Now that Kissinger is
wearing two suits,” one
foreign service officer told
us, “Lord will have to carry
two suitcases.”
Henry Kissinger’s State
Department is only begin-
ning to take form, but it
already has developed a new
tilt toward the White House.
Needy Elderly — We re-
cently reported on the plight
of some five million senior
citizens, most of them living
on pitiful pensions, who have
been overtaken by poverty.
Happily, our story “energized
the Senate,” according to
staffers of the Select Com-
mittee on Aging.
A bill to get a seven per
cent increase in social
security payments for the
elderly was suddenly passed
by the Senate Finance Com-
mittee. Also, 56 other sena-
tors joined Sen. Frank
Church. D-Ida., in sponsoring
the measure after our story
appeared.
The legislation should now

unless the House Ways and
Means Committee decides to
bottle it up.
Another Loophole — A hired
lobbyist is working the back-
rooms of Congress trying to
chisel a wider loophole in the
tax laws for doctors, lawyers,
accountants and the like.
The quiet lobbying effort is
coordinated by the Beverly
Hills, Calif., law firm of
Cruikshank and Antin. The
strategy is described in a pri-
vate memo from the law firm.
“Approximately $100,000 to
$200,000 of legal work and
lobbying will be required,”
states the memo. “The $50 per
professional is essential and
is being secured....It will be
forwarded to the law firm in
Washington, D. C., which will
be the ‘unofficial’ lobbyist...”
The Washington operation
is directed by the Danzansky
and Dickey law firm, with
lobbyist Lou Diamond doing
the buttonholing and back-
slapping on Capitol Hill.
The professionals have
already succeeded on the
Senate side in amending the
Pension Reform bill — worth
an estimated $125 million a
year for them in saved taxes.
Now the lobbying campaign
is centered in the House.
Footnote: Diamond told us
only about $10,500 had been
collected so far to fund the
lobbying drive. He contended
that the small corporations,
formed by professionals,
should be given equal treat-
ment with large corporations.

ARIES
(Mar. 21 to Apr. 20)
Be alert to those who would
mislead you, do not expect too
much in the way of help from
others and do not scatter
energies. Taking such per-
cautions, you can make a good
go of things.
TAURUS
(Apr. 21 to May 21)
Searching for offbeat avenues
toward achievement could lead
you astray now. Do the best you
can in your own field and gains
will be yours.
GEMINI
(May 22 to June 21)
Let your instincts guide you
now since your chances of at-
taining goals are excellent.
Imagination and a little daring
could pay off handsomely.
CANCER a/mA
(June 22 to July 23)
Patience will be needed in a
few tricky spots but day, on the
whole, has a big potential.
Avoid undue haste, anxiety.
You CAN deliver the goods.
LEO
(July 24 to Aug. 23)
Tackle that difficult job
you’ve been postponing, and
your anxieties will vanish.
Facing a problem head-on is
half its solution.
enliven the day in an interesting
and challenging manner. Be
responsive to new ideas.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21 to Feb. 19)
Consider all propositions and
suggestions offered, but do not
be inveigled into anything that’s
NOT up your alley. Fine in-
fluences stimulate your am-
bition.
PISCES ,
(Feb. 20 to Mar. 20) ^
Excellent opportunities in-
dicated, but they may not all be
on the surface. You will have to
seek some out for yourself.
Control annoyance with “lesser
lights.”
YOU BORN TODAY are
endowed with zestful en-
thusiasm, a fine mind and an
unusually strong sense of
justice.
Barbara's problem should be of
interest to every reader of this
column! As a fun game. too.
make a hobby of writing down
the unique surnames you en-
counter. And use the booklet
below to gam an “A” on English
themes, plus business letters!
- CASE Y-550: Barbara
Kromm, aged 16, asked me for
some suggestions for English
themes.
“Dr. Crane,” she said,
“sometimes we are free to
select the topic for a theme.
“So what would make an
interesting subject?”
SURNAME ORIGNS
And I replied that she could
easily write several themes on
the origin and uniqueness of our
surnames.
When the world population
was small and people lived in
groups of 50 to 100 villagers or
tribesmen, there might have
been no duplication of such
names as Bob, Bill, Tom, Dick
and Harry.
But soon there might be
several Toms, so how could they
be distinguished easily in
conversation?
Well, Tom, the farmer’s son,
was shortened to Tom Farmer.
And that’s how many trade
names became attached to our
first names, such as Smith,
Cooper, Shoemaker, Cook,
Miller, Shepherd et al.
Other surnames came from
geographical locations, as Tom -
Meadows vs. Tom Hightower
vs. Tom Hill, Tom Lake, Tom
Rivers et al.
Again, surnames were taken
from birds and beasts, like my
name Crane, plus Wren, Dove,
Bird (Byrd), Raven,
Nightingale, Quail, as well as
Beaver, Fox, Wolf, Bear and
Lion (Lyon).
You might also write one
entire theme on unusual names,
for I have personally met men
named Kneebone, Clink scales,
Halfacre, Redheffer and a
prominent dentist in Indiana
has the surname Toothaker.
Colors were also employed for
surnames, as Brown, Black,
White, Green, Gray et al.
Until recently, Scandinavians

Put your guard up early, and
KEEP it up!

your side.
SCORPIO m

eye-catching new method.
SAGITTARIUS -

merely used the father's first
name; then added “son” or
“sen.”
Thus, if your father’s name
were John and your first name
was William, they’d call you
William Johnson.
But if you then had a son
named David, he was listed as
David Williamson.
And if he had a son christened
Jacob, then it was Jacob
Davidson.
In certain countries like
Burma, it is still difficult to
identify members of the same
immediate family, for they all
have different surnames, which
is very inefficient.
Until the Middle Ages, sur-
names were not common, so
Aristotle, Hannibal, Cato and
Seneca were without surnames.
Same was true centuries
earlier in Biblical times as for
Moses and Abraham.
Most of Christ’s Apostles
were also named only Matthew
or James, Philip or Andrew.
But even then, you can see
that James (son of Zebedee)
soon became James Zebedee.
St. Paul, too, was called Saul
of Tarsus, which probably
would have become Saul
Tarsus, to distinguish him from
other Sauls.
Women’s Libbers are now
trying to reverse surname ef-
ficiency and demand that a wife
carry her own maiden name;
not her husband’s, which is a
throwback to primitive inef-
ficiency.
Even today, most people can’t
recall a surname for Queen
Elizabeth of England, for
royalty still retains the
primitive first name custom,
but most Americans know our
President as Richard Nixon.
Surnames are thus a step
forward in human efficiency but
now are becoming surpassed by
Social Security numbers and
fingerprints!
