H. P. King of the Dallas, Tex. bureau of the Asso ciated Press, as consultant and ad visor to the president of Korea. Another American and both men had Pacific Northwest back groundswas advisor 'and director of foreign affairs for, the king of Korea nearly 70 years ago. King, formerly in the Seatble bureau of the AP, left Friday for Seoul. Judge O. N. Denny of Port land went to Seoul to take a some what comparable job in 1885. Th-re was trouble then. too. with Chinese. The king of Korea's pow ers were iiiniiea oy mem ana Denny wrote a small booklet of bitter criticism of the way Chinese were imposing their will on Korea and of failure of the world's great powers io oo sometning aoout it. At the time Denny took the Ko rean job at S12.000 a year he had been U. S. consul at Tientsin, China, and -consul general at Shanghai for seven years. Because oi nis iieaitn tie left Korea in 1891 .and returned to Portland, later moving to Long Beaoh. Wash., where he died in 1900. It was Judge Dennv the title came from a county iudeeshin at The Dalles and police court judge- snip in roruana who introduced Chinese pheasants to tiie United States. PORTLAND 1 rhriermie shoppers are spending less money this ye.ar and are looking for better values for what they do spend. That's the concensus of leading Portland retailers who estimat business from "about the same as last year" to as much as 18 per cent off. Widesoread unemployment in lumber, food processing and con struction is held partly responsible for the drop. Other factors are pro longed rainv weather, and. in the opinion of at least one retailer, re moval of the urgency for buying, resulting from the end of hostilities in Korea. Generally department and furni ture stores reported buying to date 5 to 10 Der cent below last vear. But most point out that Christmas shopping has been slow in starting and has picked up in recent days. Some forecast late buying surges which will bring business this year "within 5 per cent either way" of last year, when many had a record volume. Unemployment is the highest In Oregon since before World War II. with 9 per cent of the workers in sured under the unemployment compensation program without jobs last week. That tied Oregon with New Hampshire for the high est unemployment rate in the nation. There are some exceptions to the business decline. One speciality store dealing in books, stationery and toys, reported sales 8 per cent ahead of last year.

These witnesses, he said have sought protection from self incrimination under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. "I hope to do something about that (Harvard) in the not too dis tant future," he told the luncheon meeting. Later at a news conference, lite Carthy said he "understood" legis. lation was being prepared for Congress that would end gift tax exemptions for those who donated limns io eoucanonad institutions in cluding Harvard, which he said employ "Fifth Amendment Com munists." . Dean Believes Peace Assured WASHINGTON m f,;oial Am bassador Arthur H. Dea.i, express ing a personal view that Korea will have peace, readied an official less negotiations for a Korean report Friday on his so-far fruit- peace conference. Dean came oacK from Fanmun jam Thursday night. He bad walked out of the conference. called to set a time and place for a peace pact meeting, after pro testing Communist charges that the United States was guilty of 'Perfidy." Hiatless and wiUiout an over coat at the icy, windswept air port, Dean tola newsmen: Based upon What I observed and as a personal opinion, I am quite sure hostilities won't be renewed." He declined to go into details prior to his report to President fcisennower and, Secretary of State Dulles. The secretary is expected to report to the President also on the Paris trip from which he re turned Tnusuay. Dunes came home, several hours before Dean, from the North At lantic Council meeting, where he pressed for early action by France on a European army in which West Germany would be rc-armed.

Buvers generally are turning less expensive items, and while unit sales compare favorably with last year, dollar volume is off. Preferences are for more service able items this year. Jewelry stores in particular report a trend toward useful household items, watches which are more utilitarian than decorative and small items such as necklaces and pins. There is more shopping for quality and greater sales resistance. Impulse buying, as one leading retader described it. is less appar ent, although this will increase as Christmas gets close and shoppers pick up things "that will do" for uncle cnaries ana i .usin jane. Some retailers have turned to advertising on television, which made its advent in Portland just little more than a year ago. Many have stepped up newspaper advertising, which emphasizes the price appeal more than in past years. Major stores are now open nights until 'Christmas. Few complaints have been re ceived on consumer credit, tnougn one leading furniture store report ed many customers asking for long er credit terms than the. store is willing to give. More buyers are opening charge accounts in leading department stores, under a new city-wide system which simplifies checking credit ratings. "Measured by any normal stand ards, ourChristmas business is a healthy one, even if it doesn't come tin to last year." Charles Goldstone, merchandising manager for a leading department store, said. "There's nothing to be de pressed about." PORTLAND I W. H. Lynoh, division engineer here for the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads for 25 years, will retire Dec. 31.
