12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, January 21, 195% ATF TT > This photo looks.as though it could have been taken under water. And it was taken under water. It shows Frank Vander- bloenker, lifegaurd at Silver TRBLE MANNERS SUIT THE OCCASION Springs, Fla., carving a turkey for his mermaid guests. Under water, however, the turkey tends to float away from the carver, so Frank has to put his foot on the table (such manners! Tch, Tch!) to control the bird. He held the under water feast as a stunt and intends to repeat the performance to mark the New Year. : Central Press Canadian 1952 Changed Few Boundaries But Many Governments In Hectic Year WASHINGTON -- A tense and troubled world changed few cf Nel boundaries but many of its gov-| .ernments during 1952, the National Geographic Society reports in its year-end roundup of international developments. Unrest ruled. War dragged on in Asia, and revolt flared in Af- rica. The cold war became no less chilly. Japan and West Germany won 'back sovereignty. With the Schu- man Plan, Europe took what many believed was a hesitant but thistoric step toward greater unity. "But for millions of earth's peoples, 1952 was a year of resistance against cooperation with anybody. 'REVOLT AND RIOTS 3 In the cauldron of the Near East schange of government was the rule 'rather than the exception. In Iraq, 1 military leader took over fol- lowing riots that damaged embas- ysies and offices of western na- 'tions. Syria, another Arab land "with army rule, abolished all pol- .itical parties, but the one in power, Iran, after nationalizing its Brit- *ish-built oil industry, changed pre- ,miers twice during the year and «broke off diplomatic relations with "Britain. Egypt saw royal preroga- tive melt away as an army lead- ser, General Mohammed Naguib, attained power and forced King Farouk to abdicate and leave the country. The Egyptian parliament had already been dissolved follow- ing fire riots that burned Cairo's 'famous Shepheard's Hotel. «In Africa, outbreaks against the French in Morocco and Tunisia underscored debate in the United Nations on the status of these pro- killings terrorized Kenya, bringing arrest of members of the secret Mau Mau ritualistic cult. The Union of South Africa en- countered widespread disturbances over the racial segregation policy of "apartheid." Tenseness mount- ed over the South African elec- tions scheduled for next April. Meanwhile, a United Nations com- mission was set up to investigate the segregation policies as a pos- sible threat to international peace. STALEMATE IN KOREA The Korean war remained in stalemate. For two and a half years 10 members of the United Nations have fought agression by two Communist countries. Today the battle line is not far removed from where it began along the 38th parallel. \ In Indochina, Freheh and Viet Namese forces still battle desper- ately to hold the Communist ar- mies of Viet Minh in the rice- rich Tonkingdelta and Red River valley. Rubber planters in Malaya Ss carry sidearms and drive ar- mored cars as protection against bands of guerrillas, reported on the decrease at the year's end. The three-year-old Indonesian Republic faced an internal crisis brought on by revolt in its armed forces, Djakarta continued to press Indonesia's claim to Netherlands| New Guinea, to which the Indo- nesians have applied the ancient name of Irian. In the British colony of Sarawak on Borneo, Communist terrorist activity produced a state of emergency and many arrests. Not all was bad news in Asia, however. As the Japanese peace treaty went. into effect on April 28, Tokyo officially took back the reins of government it lost on V-J Day. Termination of Allied occu- pation of Japan was paralleled by security agreements with the Unit- ed States and six other nations. More than 4,000,000 inhabitants of the narrow Malay peninsula be- came citizens of the Federation of Malaya, a long step forward in the organization of this new Far Eas- tern nation. Thailand got a new constitution -- following a blood- less coup by a military group-- and an heir to the Thai throne, |a son born to King Phumiphon | Aduldet. | In Burma and in Pakistan, an- | cient princely states yielded their | sovereignty to central authority. | |The 32 sawbwas, or chieftains, of Burma's Shan States voluntarily gave way to a single province, the Shan State. Pakistan formed a Baluchistan States Union from the old Moslem states of Kalat, Kharan, Las Bela and Makran near the borders of Iran and Af- ghanistan. Sikkim, tiny Buddhist state in | the Himalayas, in 1952 held its' first democratic election of a gov- ernment Flanked by Nepal on one! side and Bhutan on the other, Sik- | {kim and its neighbors are perched | precariously on the flank of Com- | munist China's westward penetra- tion of Tibet. ON THE FENCE China reportedly was developing a new capital of Tibet at Chamdo, a fortress on the eastern frontier, leaving Lhasa as the religious cen- ter of Buddhism. Szechwan in western China and Ahwei in the east regained their former status as Chinese provinces. The capital of Inner Mongolia was moved from Wanchuan (Kalgan) to Kweisul. The fate of Jammu and Kash- mir, contested by India and Pake istan, was no nearer settlement of self-government after its forth-| ment. The Polish | premier, than at the time of India's par- tition five years ago. A United Nations mediator met repeated re- jections from both sides in his at- tempts to stage a plebiscite to de- cide Kashmir's future. The divid- ed state in 1952 transformed it- self into a republic and substitut- ed an elected head of state for its Maharajah. Another touchy political question developed during the year over the tiny oasis of Buraimi in tHe burning desert between Saudi Ara- bia's Empty Quarter and the Brit- ish-protected Trucial sheikdoms of Oman and Muscat. The fear that both Arabia and Britain would send forces to Buraimi underscored the possibility that oil might underle the region. Rich oil deposits have been discovered just to the north, in Qatar. To the west, Jordan deposed King Talal for reasons of his health and named 17-year-old - Crown Prince Hussein to the throne. A Regency Councilwill rule in Am- man until Hussein reaches 18 next spring. In November, Israel lost its first president, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who died from a heart attack. Dr. Isaac Ben-Zvi was elected to suc- ceed him as the nominal leader of the young Israeli government. (A parliament and prime minister hold the real power, as in England.) Israel still labors under an uneasy truce with its Arab neighbors. NEW AFRICAN NATIONS Eritrea, former Italian colony on the Red Sea, became 'an autono- mous constitutional state federated with Ethiopia under United Nations blessing. Libya undertook its first year of self-rule, complete with a parliament and' two capitals, Tripoli and Bengasi, In the wake of Egypt's revolt, there seemed strong prospect that the: Anglo-Egyptian Sudan might win a larger degree ' coming 'national elections. Great Britain moved closer ic its goal of turning its Gold Coast colony into an independent coun- try, probably to be named Ghana. alreadv holds increasing authority. Talks continued in the United Nations on the status of South-West Africa, a one-time League of Na- tions mandate territory which the Union of South Africa refuses to place under UN trusteeship. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! Europe and its northern isles wit- nessed historic changes in 1952, happily free from the violence that overran Asia and Africa. In Eng- land. a second Elizabeth came to the throne followine the sudden | death of King George VI. The Unit- ed Kingdom and its Dominions had a reigning Queen for the first time since 1901, when Victoria died. West Germany signed a "peace contract' with the United States, France and Great Britain. Already ratified by the U.S. Congress, the | treaty will go into effect and Allied occupation will formally end upon ratification by the British, French and German legislatures. Concur- rently the new Federal Republic of Germany will enter the Europ- ean Defense Community, part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. Russia and her allies continued to boycott and denounce Western Europe's strengthening organiza- tion. After six and a half years, Russian obstruction still bars a peace treaty for Austria. East Germany under Communist control reorganized its internal ad- ministration dissolving the tradi- tional provinces of Saxony. Brand- enburg. Mecklenburg, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt in favor of 14 new districts. Poland adopted a new constitution after the Soviet model and elected a new parlia- SALLY'S SALLIES \ Copr. 1953, El Inc, World rights reserved.

Green and Turkey were admitted to membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, / COMMUNITY OF NATIONS Formal adoption of the Schuman Plan to internationalize coal and steel facilities of Western Europe brought into existence an economic community of six nations that has no precedent in modern European history. The pact opened the way for greater prosperity and pol- itical teamwork between France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In December, the Dutch parliament became the first to approve con- stitutional amendments yielding na- tional power to international or- ganizations and putting world law ahead of the nation's own legal system. . Across the Atlantic, the United States disclosed agreements with which resulted in a giant new air base at Thule, Greenland. In Nov- ember the first commercial airlin- er to use. the new field flew from Los Angeles to Copenhagen across the top of the world. Additional Greenland bases are to be develop- ed during 1953. TROUBLE IN TIN Latin America enjoyed its full quota of revolutions and attempted revolutions in 1952. A Bolivian re- volt overthrew the government. One of the plgns of the new ad- ministration was the nationaliza- 1 of Columbia, the Colombians hav- ing--been in an official -siate siege since 1949. In Venezuela, after an attempted revolt was crushed in September, national elections were held to legalize a military junta that has ruled since 1948. Cuba's government fell to its long-time "strong man," General Fulgencio Batista. Argentina, re- electing Juan Peron to the presi- dency, mourned the death of his | wife, Evita, and gave her name to a new province. Another terri- tory has been redesigned as Presi- dente Peron Province. Mexico made its northern territory of Baja California into a 29th state with the capital at Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California, On March 1, democratic Uru- guay abolished its presidency com- pletely and gave executive author- ity to a '"'colegiado'", or council, patterned on the Swiss model. The U.S. Congress approved a new con- stitution for Puerto Rico, changing the island possession from a ter- ritory to a commonwealth and giv- ing Puerto Ricans a greater mea- sure of self-rule. FORTUNATE ISLES Perhaps the happiest corner of the world in 1952 lay far out in the Indian Ocean.
