Three directors out of the 15 would be named for three year terms by the President.

Our Wayne Is against the Presi dent's bill. He says: "As far as I am concerned, I am AGAINST IT. Those satellites should be AMER ICAN FLAG satellites and not mon opoly satellites." Our Maurine is against the Presi dent's bill. She says: "Under the administration bill, the AT&T would be the chosen in strument to own and control civil ian space communications. Why should we hasten to give away the fruits of billions of taxpayer dollars to a private monopoly owned and controlled bv a few huge compan ies and dominated by the greatest and most powerful monopoly America today." And so on at great length. Isn't politics wonderful? So much for Washington. Let's turn our attention now to Twin Falls, Idaho where, a dis natch tells us. "a bizarre new teen age 'chicken' game is plaguing West Coast Airlines night 782 at the municipal airport." The youths playing the game lie down in lines at the end of the runway, near where they estimate the airliner's wheels will touch the ground. The youth closest to the touch-down wins the game. Those who lose their nerve and run away hit "chicken." It's a weird world we're living In, isn't it?

Some officials thought it might riot win approval' if the park project were to be attached. They also rejected a proposal to submit it as a separate pro gram. Putting it on the same ballot with the critically needed bond issue might cost votes, it was feared. Opportunity Knocking Pnssiblv thev were correct. Certainly it was impera tive to secure passage of a bond issue that would get a recovery program started. It is entirely possible that, as they feared, some voters might have been frightened had an additional bond issue for purchase of land needed for park been included. I'll certainly not criticize ter. : But, in my opinion, Roseburg overlooked an excellent opportunity. 1 We still have a chance the river bank, exclusive of Bureau Exchange erected its sites adjacent to Oak Ave. We should, in my opinion, using by permission at the east end of the Oak Ave. bridge. We should obtain the land along the river bank to and including Gaddis Park, which adjoins the Free way. We probably can't acquire the land abutting the riv er through the VA reservation, but it would be preserved and could be included in a cooperative project. This would lead to Stewart Park, one of Oregon's finest. Here is an opportunity that should not be neglected, I believe.

Not only did they urge envisioned a dam below Stewart Park.

' Peter Edson Rotary's Laharry Eyes Small Business Clinics WASHINGTON - (NEA) - Ro tary International is establishing a Peace Corps of its own. The 57-year-old service organization is starting a new, international, Small Business -Clinics program for developing countries. It will be an adult educational aid program to help small manufacturers learn the ways of modern business in a free society. This is the idea of Nitish C. La harry of Calcutta, India, installed as president of Rotary Interna tional for 1962-63 at its recent Los Angeles convention. He is the first Asian to head Rotary, which now had 524,000 members in 11,279 service clubs of 128 countries. In Washington for a courtesy call on President Kennedy and a speech to the Washington Rotary Club on its 50th anniversary, La harry in an interview outlined his plans for developing world serv ice on a person-to-person basis. The Idea grew out oi a volun teer service by 15 Oklahoma doc tors who last year gave two months of their time traveling DON OAKLEY ONE STEP FORWARD No immediate, sweeping changes in the behavior of sovereign na tions can be expected from the World Court's recent 9-5 decision that United Nations, members are legally oniigatea to pay tne spe cial assessments for peace-keep ing operations in the Congo and Middle East. The ruling was strictly an ad visory opinion; the court has no means of forcing nations to abide by its finding. Yet many observers hail it as the court's most important deci sion since it came into existence in 1945 to supersede the old Per manent Court of International Jus tice. The case involving the U.N. as sessments was the first time that the Soviet Union had presented an oral argument before the court. The United States presented a counterargument, and the world witnessed the spectacle of the two great powers attempting to win a judicial verdict from an interna tional tribunal. For some, that was more im portant than the Issue itself. The court only considers mat ters that have been voluntarily submitted to it. Since 1945, It has handled only 30 cases. Instances are a dispute over the ownership of two English Channel Islands between Britain and France, rights 01 loreign nationals in cer tain countries, territorial disputes. freedom of tne seas and, recently, the ownership of a 12th-century Brahmin temple in Cambodia. The court's decrsions have been generally obeyed. It is this young tradition of respect for the court and the moral weight it carries that augurs well for the U.N. de cision, despite widespread resist ance to it. The United States has announc ed it will support moves to suspend the voting privileges of delinquent nations and has prepared warn ings lor several Latin American states. The purpose of this is to establish a precedent that will bring the more serious debtors into line among whom arc the entire Soviet bloc, most Arab countries, Portugal. France, Belgium and South Africa. These nations, especially those behind the Iron Curtain, will un doubtedly try to ignore the deci sion. But the prestige of the court, backed by world opinion and a little arm-twisting, may eventually bring them Into line, if only par tially. The continuance of the United Nations itself depends greatly upon it. The Cartoonist Savs: Slight Detour in the aboard at their own expense to demonstrate modern medical prac tices for native doctors in their own clinics. This generous volunteer service was so successlul tnat Laharry who had been designated this year's Rotary president at its Tok yo convention last year, began plans to spread the club's World Community Service to a larger field. ' Educated as an economist, pol itical scientist and lawyer in In dia, Laharry had served 32 years as Southeast Asia distributor for Metro - Goldwyn Mayer and Col umbia films. He had traveled in many lands. He knew that in the developing countries there were thousands of small merchants and small manufacturers making and selling one part for an assembled machine bicycle, chains, wheels and pedals, for example. There were also myriads of "cottage in dustries, often family affairs with no real knowledge of accounting. merchandizing or modern business methods. If he could get experts from the more developed countries to go into the new countries and hold business clinics for native busi nessmen. Laharrv reasmod that he would be developing the stature and dignity of free men. 1 Ins is one of Rotary's goals. He thought it could be achieved best by person-to-person contacts and not through the regimented processes of some international government agency. President Laharry feels that if a dozen clinics are conducted in his year in office, it wjll be a good start. If that seems a modest begin ning, he recalls that Rotary itself was founded in Chicago in 1905. Paul P. Harris, who felt that he was a lonelv man. asked three associates to meet with him for Service Above Self. That is still a Rotary objective. But Laharry now lays stress on another goal, "The advancement of international understanding, good will and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in tne ideal of service." Dutch, Indonesia Reach Agreement On W. New Guinea WASHINGTON (UPI) U.S. officials said today the Nether land and Indonesia have reached agreement on a settlement on their long standing dispute over West New Guinea. They said the formal signing ceremony will take place in New York in about two weeks. The agreement was understood to provide for the transfer of con trol over the disputed territory to the Indonesians beginning next May. U.S. officials said they were greatly encouraged by the pros pect of a peaceful settlement and believed both nations would bene fit from the conclusion of the long and bitter dispute. The agreement resulted from negotiations during the past two weeks between the Dutch Ambas sador to the United .States J.H. Van Roijen and the Indonesian Ambassador to Moscow, Adan Malik. They have been meeting at a closely guarded estate known as Huntland near Middleburg, Va. One source said the agreement, reached Monday night covered "all essential points." The Virginia negotiations will continue for the time being to iron out details of the new agree ment. The talks were set up un der the U.N. auspices after In donesia threatened to take West New Guinea by force, if necessary. Mem Analysis: Sweden Won't Give Up Its Neutrality For Membership In The Common Market By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyst STOCKHOLM (UPI) In the prosperous shops, hotels and de partment stores along Stock holm's tree-lined streets and in the canals plied by sightseeing and pleasure craft, the chief con cern these days is the weather. For this is vacation time and the summer has been late. But in the ancient, tile-roofed foreign office near the Royal Pal ace there is a greater concern. It is how to find a meeting ground between Sweden's tradi tional neutrality and policy of non-alignment and her desire for association with the six-nation Common Market whose goal is political union and whose mem bers are among Sweden's best customers. THE LIGHTER SIDE: Computer-Directed Lawn Mowers May Mark Looked-For Millenium By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - A sub urban neighbor of mine subscribes to a number of quasi - technical magazines "Home Mechanics," "Popular Embalming" and that sort of thing. . In the backyard the other day he was telling me about an article he had read on the prospects of developing electronic computers for household uses. "The article predicts that it will eventually be possible to buy com puter attachments for power lawn mowers," he said. "That will be the millenium we have ill been searching for." As he explained it, quoting from the magazine, you would hook the computer to your mower and cut your grass in the usual way. The computer would record the distances traversed, the directions travelled and the angle of the turns, storing this information in its "memory cell." Cut Its Own Then, the next time your lawn wanted trimming, you would simply fire up the mower and send it off on its own. Guided by the computer, It would duolicate the route you had previously covered, including the accidental detour into the flower bed to decapitate a couple of ger aniums. While this was happening, the master of the house could retire to the hammock and read the latest issue of "Popular Embalm ing." and that isn't all. As forseen by the magazine, the more advanced models of the computer-mower would be housed in a tiny garage equipped with "electric eye" controls. The beam of the "eye" would be located about four inches above the emund. so that when the grass grew to that height it would break the circuit. Tins wouiu cause me garage door to open. The mower would then emerge, cut the lawn as previously de scribed, and return to the ga rage. Thus the homeowner would be assured of a neat lawn all sum mer, even while away on vaca tion. Raised Doubts "Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? My neighbor exclaimed. "I can hardly wait until they get it on the market." I admitcd it made the future look rosy, but at the same time I was beset by certain misgivings. Road Sweden regards both as essen-1 tial to her future but if one must be sacrificed it will be her asso ciation with the Common Market. For in Sweden for a man to sug gest abandonment of neutrality would be to commit political sui cide! i .;. .- Wants Exceptions Last week at Brussels, Swedish minister of commerce, Gunnar Lange, presented his case. Summed up, it was this: Sweden recognizes that the ulti mate goal of the six France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg is political unity which ulti mately would include military unity as well. She also recognizes that under the treaty of Rome, Common Market nations are banned from "Suppose," I said, "that the grass happened to reach the height of four inches at two o'clock in the morning. What's to keep your mower from charging out and waking up the whole neighborhood?" I was sorry I said it, because it ruined his entire day. Crest fallen, he headed for the house, presumably to cancel a magazine subscription. All is not lost, however,' if sci ence can develop a computerized lawnmower, there's no reason why it can't also produce a type of grass that will stop growing at midnight. Business Faces Need For More Production In Face 0( Tariff Cu; By JESSE BOGUE UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-Two busi ness leaders agree that what U.S. industry faces today in coping with possible future tariff cuts is a need for increased productivity to meet changed operating condi tions. They think the task won't be easy. Writing In the August issue of Production Magazine, Ladd Plum ley, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and Francis J. Trecker, president of the National Machine Tool Builers' Association, were alike .in saying that government could play a part in effecting greater pro ductivity of industry in general. Plumley defines productivity as the value produced by a quantity of productive resources; Trecker says it is a correlation of con stant material, economic and so cial progressions resulting in the betterment of a nation's standard of living. Reader Direction Signs Needed On Diamond Lake Road To The Editor: A trip to Diamond Lake Satur day caused us to believe that Doug las County is not being very hos pitable. There is a sign saying "Road Closed Monday Through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m." As our trip was being made on Saturday, we supposed the road was open and we tried to use it. After going about an hour on this very rough road we learned, by asking a workman, we should have turned to another road. He told us there "should have been a sign." but there wasn't. When we started back wc stop ped other cars, all tourists, who had also taken the wrong road. They were very disgusted. We followed the workman's di rections and found our way to the right road. I feel something should be done lo encourage people to our beauti ful area not discourage them. Douglas County has a lot to be proud of. It should put up direct tional signs and help our tourists see what we have. Mrs. Ted Erna P. O. Box 454 Canyonville, Ore. Vaccination Act Draws Objections To The Editor: Very belatedly, we on this com mission have become aware of 11. R. 10341. the "Vaccination As-1 sistance Act of 1962." The bill; passed the House by voice vote on' June 26: since then it has been approved by the Senate Commit tee on Labor and Public Welfare. It will soon be called up on the Senate door. We should like to invite your; eonsideration of this bill. Its pur- i pose is to authorize non-matching federal grants in aid, amounting to $36 million over the next three years, for the purpose of promot- ing and financing intensive vac- rination campaigns against polio, tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping making separate, outside trade , agreements and that there wUl be a common tariff on imports. . But Sweden believes there should be exceptions. Sweden can enter no agree- -ment which endangers her neu trality. Sweden must be given the right to negotiate her own trade agree ments outside the Common Mar ket.. Economy Flourishes In case of war, Sweden must be given the right to withdraw from the association and the right to acquire vital supplies. Sweden's economy today ht booming. She not only has full employ ment for her 1.4 million workers but has been forced to bring in 100,000 foreign workers. A labor shortage is the greatest . present threat to her continued economic growth which last year showed a healthy increase of 4.5 per cent. Her annual i.ross national prod uct amounts to $15 billion, which, with a population of only 7.5 mil lion, ranks her among the most prosperous nations of Europe. She feels that association with the Common Market will enable her to make a real contribution to the economic development of Europe. Without , it, she fears a declining rate of growth for her self and subsequent harm to her own military program and ' her welfare program which now cov ers Swedes from the cradle to the grave. ' - From the United States, a Com mon Market booster, the Swedish proposals have received a cool reaction. The United States has passed the time when it can dictate the policies of Western Europe. But its position is that the neutrals are asking to have their cake and cat it, too. : ' Trecker, head of an association whose members are in a highly competitive world market strug gle, contends that only with gov ernment, business and labor func tioning as a team can costs he brought down and prices reduced. In explaining the team process to achieve greater productivity, Trecker wrote that government "should encourage business expan sion through enlightened fiscal, tax and regulatory actions. Busi ness should constantly reduce its produce prices by applying con tinuing advancements in technolo gy. Labor should receive its bene fits, not through the rapid pyra miding of ever increasing wage structures, but rather through the constant reduction in costs of all products and services." Plumley, who has voiced his views before various government bodies, said that perhaps the most Important single step government could take to aid increasing pro ductivity would be revision and simplification of the lax code Opinions cough. So-called "Federal funds" already are available for the pur chase of vaccines under two exist ing grant-in-aid programs. This bill would simply create one more such program. In the view of this commission, programs of this sort have gone entirely too far. The bill impress es us, at best, as a measure of most doubtful constitutionality. At worst, it constitutes one more en croachment upon responsibilities that rightfully should be should ered by the states, the localities, and by private volunteer efforts. More than 90 grant-in-aid pro grams are now in operation, chan neling upwards of seven billion dollars a year to state and local governments. Hugh V. White. Jr., Executive Secretary.
