Thurt., Aug. 3, It 50 Korean War May In Some Respects Prove To Be Blessing In Disguise By DeWITT MACKENZIE One recoils from examining war as a possible agent of good. Still, the trend of events does suggest that the Korean upheaval may in some ways prove to have been a blessing in disguise. For the very crudness of this a s sault is drawing right-minded na tions together in the interests of peace and justice. The outstanding demonstration of this trend, of course, has been the action of the United Nations in applying military sanctions against the invaders of Southern Korea. That was unprecedented move one which was evaded by the League of Nations, with fatal consequences to that organization. This strong-arm move by the U. N. probably has done more to strengthen the U. N. than any other event. It means that the non-Communist members of the peace or ganization have been drawn closer together. Take r specific case for illustration: Turkey has offered 4500 fully armed troops for the Korean fight ing whenever the U. N., asks for them. Now that was a mighty cour ageous decision for the government to make a historic gesture. Why? Well, because Turkey sits right under the big guns of a "ery critical (to use a euphemistic ex pression) Russia. The two countries have bitter differences over control of the Dardanelles -waterway. And the sending of Turkish troops to Korea to fight Moscow's North Ko rean protege might easily draw from the Moscow the charge that it was an action unfriendly to the Soviet Union, though it wasn't in tended that way. So Turkey, the lone wolf, is drawn closer to the Western world by the Korean imbroglio. Then take the case of the Atlan tic Pact partners. These 12 nations, spurred by the dangers displayed through the attack on Korea, are working feverishly to construct a unified army out of the individual armed forces of the Western Euro pean states. They are putting the finishing touches on a far closer collaboration than they had en visaged at the outset of their ven ture. And that collaboration not only is military but includes other fields. The Korean assault not only is spurring the unity of peaceminded nations but is reaching down to the rank and file of their citizens. An example of this is seen in the meeting of the AFL-CIO unity com mittee at Washington. Spokesman for the committee have announced that a merger of America's rival labor factions has become a "virtual must" because of the world march of communism. In another statement the committee said: "Labor in America is completely united against Communist aggres sion," Thus it would seem that good GET YOUR FAMILY A POPPER PLU POPS POPCORN CLEAN QUICKLY NO STIRRING A 3 piece spun aluminum unit with separate GRILL and PYREX LID.

UP-Soil con servation work is now being done by the big pipeline companies in cooperation with farmers. One firm, the Texas-Illinois Natural G:s Pipe Line Co., has a spec ial department to save soil. It develops plants to hold it in place, terraces hillsides, plants grass and develops other practices. E. D. Warren, a company exec utive, explains that most pipeline companies have discovered that their lines face extensive damage when the soil washes away. It is cheaper to keep the soil in place than to repair washed out lines, he indicates.

The commission said it expects the national guard to pay back to the commission the total amount of compensation paid to Mrs. McLean. SALEM, UP) The state in dustrial accident commission said today it is obeying a state supreme court order to pay the widow of a national guard employee who was electrocuted at Camp Adair March 30, 1949. The woman, Mrs. John M. Mc Lean of Buena Vista, has four children. The commission gave her a check yesterday to pay her up to date, and will continue to give her a fixed amount each month. The commission did not disclose the size of the check. The commission had refused to pay the claim because the nat ional guard had not contributed to the workmen's compensation fund. But the supreme court, pointing out that the legislature ordered the national guard em ployes covered, told the commiss ion to pay Mrs. McLean. Mrs. McLean should receive y ncE-D "Iti the Water Otympii I'twing Co, Olymplt. Willi, U $. k A.
