Thousands Strike By Ah. Sets kuCtoif ... " - Xrklws tfttMfttl- -o. . ... Uif-rrts r The Day's . News. ircnlt Jenkins The day after a holiday: BACK TO WORK. Interesting question: SUPPOSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY WORK TO CO BACK TO? At first thought, it sounds good. But the more one thinks of it, the worse it sounds. Suppose nobody worked. In that event, nobody would eat. Shucks! el' not kid ourselves. All these fine words about the dignity of work and the import ance of work are designed to make the idea of going back to work after a holiday less repulsive. Human beings are human be ings. From the frivolous, let's turn now to the deadly serious. Speaking to the Philippine con gress in Manila yesterday. Gener al Douglas MacArthur said flatly that United Nations forces -mild have won the Korean war WITH OUT USING THE ATOM BOMB. He added that the atom bomb wasn't needed in Japan, which was defeated already when the bomb was dropped at Hiroshima. He went on to say: "With victory in our grasp and without use of the atom bomb which we needed no more then than against Japan we failed to see it through. Had we SEEN IT THROUGH, we would have de strayed Red China's ability of waging war for generations to come. Our failure to win that war (the war in Korea) was a major disaster for the free world. "The fatal consequences of our failure to win in Korea are now increasingly being felt in the rise of Red China into a mighty colos sus which threatens all of Asia and bids fair to emerge as the balance of military power in the world. This would jeopardize free dom on all continents." Questions: Do you reckon Mr. Kroosh might have been listening to General MacArthur yesterday? If so, what were his reflections? la he happy with hia partner, lied China? ' Or is he a little fearful? Those ire questions that only Mr. K can answer. And, of course, ht won't answer them. But they ; must be going around in his mind. General MacArthur concluded: "Scientific advancement in t h e development of military weapons has destroyed the possibility of war being a medium for the prac tical settlement of international differences. "Global war has become a Frankenstein to destroy both sides. No longer is it a weapon of ad venture a short cut to interna tional power. No longer does war possess even the chance of the winner of a duel. It conlaina NOW only the germs of double suicide." More for Mr, K to think about.

Stanton Douglas County Commissioner Ray Doerner has taken the initiative in attempting to create a three-county zoning program in the area proposed for a seashore park. A letter from Doerner to Coos and Lane County courts calls attention to the fact that the proposed zoning is rec ommended by the Governor's Committee on Natural Re sources. The area, located chiefly in Lane and Douglas counties but reaching into Coos County, is expected to be the subject of much congressional dispute. While this dis pute is going on. the State Committee on Natural Resourc es says, unregulated activities, area, will probably occur. The under which it can impose zones. Nor can the whole area be placed under one zoning authority. Each county must act independently. It is possible, however, that they act uniformly, and this is the basis of Doerner's proposal. Obviously something shfJuld be done to zone the area until future controls are determined. The late Sen. Richard Neuberger suggested that the area in western Lane and Douglas counties be turned over to the National Park Service as a Sand Dunes Recreational Park. Later proposals brought the northern part of Coos County into the picture. Battle Pending Sen. Neuberger made a great political play on Ore gon's coastal area. Jluch publicity was obtained through public hearings. Sentiment is considerably divided. Many people feel that Oregon would be materially benefitted by creation of a national park to include the coastal strip in the three counties. National advertising, they say would bring in great numbers of tourists to augment Oregon's tourist income. On the other hand, there is great objection from own ers of private property. While those owners would be per mitted to live out their liveR on the land, if they so de sired, title eventually would ment, owners would be prevented from any speculative activities. A considerable part of the acreage already is held by the U.S. Forest Service. The Forest Service has done little to develop recreational use of its resources. It now has proposed a large development program and Cong. Ed win Durno, in whose district the lands are located, has offered a bill giving the Forest Service money with which to proceed with its program Even though the Forest a nod ot approval from Congress, together with money to get its program off the ground, there would remain the possibility, without local regulation, of Coney Island type development on intermingled private lands. Facilities Needed Again, the matter of Coney Island development needs some consideration. It is my own belief that we need some hot dog and hamburger stands in the area, but I Contend they should be managed in such a way that they will not interfere with or detract from major development. That can be done only through zoning. However, there are two A national park, in mv around one of Oregon s finest particularly to tile more well more or less monopolistic in Many people do not airree national park control is needed to preserve recreational values.

Proposal To Increase Size Of House Nixed By Solons WASHINGTON' (AP) - House leaders have, quietly hut firmly rejected all proposals to increase the size of the House in order to prevent some slates from los ing seats because of population declines. The effect of the decision mav be that the House elected in 1962 may contain dozens of members chosen in statewide rather than district voting. Of the 25 states whose congres sional delegations will increase or decrease in the next House if Ihe size of that body is not enlarged, only 13 have enacted redistricting laws. In two of those 13 states the legislative action has not be come final. The others presumably are waiting to see what Congress will do, or have encountered political obstacles in their redistricting ef forts. Among them are Massa chusetts. Pennsylvania and Illi nois, with a total of 63 seats in the new Congress if the size of! in the House is not chinged. All may be elected in statewide con tests. Several plans to save some slates from losing seals have been proposed in the House, but the current outlook is that none 1 from the presently fixed 437 to; ut. that would not protect nil Or.

Flavored Milk Hearing Slated SAI.F.M ( AP) - The Oregon state Department of Agriculture rriday, July 14. will hold a public hearing on whether it should per i mil uavoring ot tluid milk. The question arises because the Carnation Co., Portland, wants to put root beer and alraw berry flavoring in milk and finds the state's standards stop at choc olate. The company wants the state to authorize a standard of identity that will permit the use and sale of flavored milk or a flavored dairy drink. The difference between a fla vored milk and a flavored dairy drink is that the whole milk must have a minimum of 3 2 per cent butlerfat while Ihe drink uses skim milk with less than J.2 per cent butterfat. t DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Buren He's Some Mathematician !

Bigness Of Big Business May Become A Large Issue In U. S. Political Life By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) The in creasing bigness of big business is set to play a larger role in the American economy and therefore in your life. And it may soon be come a larger issue in politics. The government lself is enlarg ing its role in business more pub lic housing, sharply increased government construction, a drive for more government-sponsored utilities, larger contributions to many facets of personal income such as Social Security and job less relief programs, programs to cut interest rates and increase private borrowing. Private business is getting ready for what it confidently hopes will be a new surge lorward perhaps this fall, perhaps next spring. And usually that means that the big get bigger. Even dur ing the recession the largest cor porations, as a whole, made cred itable showings in sales, earnings and assets. And in the past decade tha growth of the biggest has been striking. In a study of the 100 largest National City Bank of New York economists find 54 with assets of one billion dollars or more, com pared with 22 in 1950. In the 19503 those with assets of more than $2 billion rose from 5 to 20. Assets accounted include land, plant, equipment and current James Marions Khrush Has Been Helpful To U. S. Administrations WASHINGTON (AP) Premier Khrushchev has been helpful and impartial to the Republican and Democratic administrations in re cent years just as they were going through the wringer to get con gressional approval for their for eign aid plans. Three years in a row he has stirred up such a ruckus about something that Congress looked on foreign aid as a pretty good idea. If he had played quiet, Presidents Eisenhower and Ken nedy might have had more trou ble here at home. I Khrushchev did it in 1959 when Eisenhower was in the White House by threatening Berlin. He did it again in 1960 by insulting Hjsenhower, wrecking the sum mit meeting, and being generally belligerent. And now, just as Kennedy was having a gloomy time getting ap Droval for his new long-range for eign aid program, Khrushchev dug up his Berlin scare again, trotted it out, and made foreign aid sound like one of the good ways to undercut him. Thursday, for instance, Sen. J. W. Fuibright, Arkansas Demo crat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said menacing conditions in Ber lin, Cuba and Laos have im proved chances for Kennedy's foreien aid Dronosals This was after Secretary of State Dean Rusk had told the committee about the troubles communism is causing the United States around the world Since the war the United States has spent $85.8 billion on foreign aid $60.4 billion of it tor ecanom ic help and $25.4 billion for mili tary assistance in one form oi another. This aid has gone to more than 70 nations. Since the recovery of the Euro pean allies of the United States I who were helped DacK on meir feet afler the war by American aid, they have joined in giving some help to more backward areas, Kennedy warns mem lo oo ! more. cash, government securities, re ceivables and inventories. Combined the 100 largest were worth $176 billion, had total sales and revenues last year of $135 billion, paid federal income taxes of S6.4 billion, and employed 5.8 million men and women.

The top five in assets among the nonfinan cial corporations are American Telephone & Telegraph, Jersey Standard Oil, General Motors, U.S. Steel and Ford Motors. The top five in sales were GM, Jersey Standard, AT&T, Ford, and A&P. The top five in earnings were AT&T, GM, Jersey Stand ard, Ford and Texaco. Noting expressed worries lest Washington start taking a less fa vorable view of the bigness of big business, the bank economists list some of Ihe ways that big busi ness is a help to government en deavors. First comes tax paying. Adding federal, state, local and foreign taxes paid and charged as costs, the 100 largest shelled out $8.8 In the past American help was given on a year-Dyyear uasis which brought complaints from American critics that this was the wrong way, that aid should be given long-range to let receiving nations do long-range planning with worthwhile projects, - Kennedy bought this idea and asked Congress to let him ap prove aid over a five-year period. This has been one of the big bottlenecks since Congress tradi tionally likes tighter control, such year-by-year spending pro vides. For the coming year Kennedy asked what Eisenhower had asked, about $4 billion. But for the long-range project he asked around $8 billion, although in practice it probably will run a lot higher. Kennedy suggested too: 1. Putting most existing eco nomic aid programs into a single new agency whose boss would re port directly to Kennedy and Rusk. 2. Arms aid, now running about $2 billion a year and adminis tered through the Pentagon, would be separated from the annual for eign aid package and placed in the military budget. 3. Carefully tailored programs for each country receiving aid, based on the over-all needs and local resources rather than unre lated projects, with special favor toward those nations undertaking social and economic reforms. It's doubtful Kennedy will gat all he asked at least in the form he asked but Khrushchev's fist banging is a big help in convinc ing Congress he has to be stopped and one of the safest ways is through some more foreign aid.
