...Kashmir, who was jailed nearly eleven years ago for "conspiracy" to bring about Kashmirian independence. Nehru had hoped that Sheik Abdullah, a Moslem who believes in Hindu-Moslem cooperation, might find a solution to the Kashmir problem. Since his release, the former Kashmirian Prime Minister has been campaigning by Jeep through the towns and villages of Kashmir's Himalayan foothills, talking with old friends and supporters. His plan for settling Kashmir's future remains the same as always. Failing a plebiscite-which India opposes because Kashmir's Moslem majority would probably turn the province over to Pakistan...
...buyers and sellers against future damage claims. George T. Parham, 62, left North Carolina for Southern Rhodesia as a leaf buyer for British-American Tobacco, stayed on to establish one of the world's largest tobacco auctions. Ex-Navyman Phillip Gordon, 44, arrived in Southern Rhodesia with a Jeep and $500 in 1949, is now one of the wealthiest men in British Central Africa; he has built two housing developments, owns a furniture factory, a construction business and operates a gold mine. Lawrence A. Hautz, 54, sold his successful Milwaukee insurance agency ten years ago to take his arthritic...
...table. But the Reds had fled. Asked by his hand-wringing American adviser where the troops were that were supposed to have surrounded the camp, the Vietnamese officer in charge confessed that they had stopped in the last paddyfield to cook their own breakfast.

In mid-sentence he stopped, ordered his driver to turn around. Just ahead...
...tape-recorded distress calls of American herring gulls. It was an imaginative effort, but it did not work. Dutch herring gulls apparently speak a dialect all their own and are not alarmed by the screams of their American cousins. When Dr. Hardenberg recorded distressed Dutch gulls and a Jeep carrying his loudspeaker patrolled the runway of Leeuwarden military air base, the gulls merely flew up ahead of the noise in temporary terror and then landed behind it. Dr. Hardenberg's riposte was to line the runway with 23 loudspeakers, which sounded off with ghastly screams that kept the gulls...
Frightening Racket. Commercial airports do not use the full Hardenberg system. When birds get thick along a runway, a Jeep broadcasting the appropriate distress calls drives out to clear the way so the jetliners can take off safely. There are no permanent loudspeakers to make a racket that scares away nervous passengers as well as birds...
