Maybe this is an old fashioned message at this moment in a country whose leadership appears to have been working in secret to maintain power by means unfair and foul, when we find new evidence everyday of stealthy and illegal air strikes in Southeast Asin and chi canery in South America by a cabal of America's corpora tions and its C.I.A.

Ijet's face the fact that while our elected offi cials and their hirelings have been busy laundering dollars and b u gging each o th e r, themselves and even their families, they have ralloualy and crassly neglected the needs of the country and its people. What has happened to programs to aid the cities, to improve standards of health, housing, economic develop ment for the urban and rural floor, to provide day care for children of working mothers or tuition aid to young men and women whose talents de serve college and whose par ents can't afford it? What ever happened to those vaunted programs for law and order? The simple answer is: nothing has hap pened nor seems likely to. I'm optimistic enough to think that the situation in W ashington w ill im p ro ve slightly after the next Con gressional elections and enor mously a fte r In a u g u ra tio n Day, 1975. Even pessimisti rally, 1 am darn sure it can’t get worse. But in the meantime, who is doing something to help solve the problems of our cities? Who is working to help the poor to help them selves? Who is our brother's keeper? The answer is you are and I am . . . we are. No one can match the re sources of our government it still pays welfare checks and Medicare bills and dis burses disability and Social Security payments. No one nor one organization can do what our government has the ability to do. We must continue to pressure for real change in our next adminis trations. Alabama Governor George Wallace made a not too publicized visit to Jackson, Mississippi on August 31 to speak at the 18th annual leadership conference of the Citizens’ Council of America. Wallace, who only a few weeks earlier had shared the platform with Senator Ed ward Kennedy at a political rally in Alabama, shared this one with former Mississippi Governor Boss Barnett. Bar nett, a staunch defender of segregation, praised Wallace as a "political messiah" and a “ modern Moses". Wallace told the audience that the nation is finally beginning to understand the platforms and objectives he enunciated in his unsuccess Ervin fights busing Senator Sam Ervin's role as rhairman of the Senate Watergate Committee has been widely applauded by many liberal opinion makers, but some of his North Caro lina constituents aren't quite as impressed. According to E rvin staffers, the Senator has been deluged recently by letters from back home urg ing him to forget Watergate and turn his attention to busing and school Integra lio n w hich the le tte r w riters see as a more im mediate threat. E rvin, a long time opponent of civil rights legislation, has taken steps to m ollify the home folks by introducing a s trin gent anti busing bill, which forbids any branch of the fe d e ra l go ve rn m en t from tampering in any way with freedom o f choice schools. On August 28, during a re cess in the Watergate hear mgs, E rvin sent out letters to all 99 of his Senate col leagues urging their support of his bill, and he carefully called the letter to the atten lion of N orth Carolina news papers. The bill, S 1737, is one of at least a dozen anti busing measures now floating around the Congress. Geaocide T re a ty gets Seaate consideration Consideration of the Geno ride Convention w ill soon begin in the United States Senate. The treaty, passed by the United Nations Gen eral Assembly in 1948, makes it an international crime to attempt the destruction of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups as such. Seventy five countries have ratified the Convention. The United States is the most prominent nation that has not. It was submitted to the 11.S. Senate in 1949 by Presi dent Harry S. Truman, but the Foreign Relations Com mittee refused to art on it. President Nixon sent it to the Senate on February 19, 1970. The Foreign Relations C om m ittee approved the Convention in May 1971. re porting to the Senate: "As our planet becomes more crowded, man's behavior to wards his fellows must be governed by standards even higher and more humane. This treaty seeks to set a higher standard of interna tional morality and should be judged on that basis," Be cause it did not reach the Senate floor by the end of that session of the Congress, the Foreign Relations Com mittee again gave its ap proval early in 1973 and the treaty is now on the Senate calendar awaiting floor ac lion. Senate M ajority Leader Mike Mansfield has indicated that he w ill bring it to the floor of the Senate for action in September 1973, soon after the August summer recess.

Because all HUD money coming into Portland is ac cepted on behalf of the city, the complaint names the City of Portland. George Roybal, Equal Op portunity Officer for HUD, Region X, said the com plaints w ill bring an imme diate investigation by HUD. This investigation could re suit in withdrawal of federal funds until compliance re quirements are met. Complaints were also filed against Todd Building Com pany, which is building on the U niversity of Oregon campus; Tom Walsh Con struct ion; and Western Bal boa and Century Construe tion, which are building fed erally financed housing pro jects.

To help during this power crisis, here are some ways you can save electricity in your COMMUNITY THE « C p FAMILY^ < LAWYER X PGE is urgently asking everyone to join in the campaign to conserve electricity. Only with the cooperation of every member oi the community can we hope to prevent the present power shortage from becoming an even greater crisis this winter. Every kilowatt-hour of electricity now being used means either some water must be released from reservoirs behind a dam, or some thermal fuel burned to generate that power If the area s utilities can save the water and the fuel until the big winter demand occurs, we will all be in much better shape to meet the need. Here are some things you can do to help: Booby Trap Against Trespassers On the oiilskirls of lo»n Mood an old open-air theater, aban doned for years The owner of the property, resentful of oc casional trespassers, decided to get lough. He placed a small bomb under ilig stage, connecting it Io a nearby door. Sure enough, a few days taler a youthful intruder opened the door, set off the bomb, and suf fered fatal injuries. Could the properly owner be held legally liable for this trag edy? At a court hearing, he in sisted he bad the right to safe guard his property againsl any unlawful intrusion. LIGHTING Re-schedule community sporting ac tivities and recreational uses to eliminate or minimize night time ac tivity requiring floodlighting In school rooms, turn off the outside row of lights on sunny days Survey street lighting installations for possible sav ings Never lose sight of safety fac tors however ACA, UMW n* k o i rn u n ... una m i fir ful bid for the presidency in 1908. What he was really talking about. Wallace said, was local control of political institution», but his message, he contended, had been dis torted by the national news media. M ost media re p re se n ts tives were excluded from the g o v e rn o r’s ta lk a ll of them, in fact, except a CBS crew consisting of camera man Ijiw re n ce Pierce and reporter David Dick. It was Pierce who had taken the graphic and much heralded film of Wallace being shot last year in Laurel, Mary land. A fte r his speech, Wallace did consent to an interview with other reporters, during which he defended his ap pearance before the white segregationist Citizens' Coun cil. "They've been friends of mine," the governor said. “ I speak to them. I have spoken to groups I'd say are on the far left. The fact that you speak to any group doesn't mean that you are against any other particular group of people and I don't think this group here is against anybody.” A rm y extends en listm en t Thursday, October -J. 1973 HEATING However. » court held him re sponsible for the young man's death. " I l is no defense,” said the court, "that (the victim) was a trespasser. While the law au thorizes an owner to protect his property by reasonable means, considerations o f humanity pre clude him from setting traps dangerous lo (he life and limb of those whose presence may be an ticipated, even though they may be trespassers." On Ihe other hand, less dras tic measures against trespassers have usually been upheld. One case involved a barbed-wire fence which a home owner put up to slop pedestrians from taking short cuts across his front lawn. This time, when an injured trespas ser claimed damages, the court turned him down. The judge said the wire obstacle, in plain sight, was a reasonable way for the owner lo protect his lawn. O f course, the right to use force is greater when there is menace not only lo property but ulso to people. Accordingly, most courts have sanctioned t ie use of deadly force, if necessary, against burglars breaking into a home As one judge put it: " Ihe idea that a man's house is his castle is not that it is his property. The sense in which the house has a peculiar immunity is thal it is sacred for the protec tion of his person and his family,” A p u b lic M-rviee fe a tu re o f the A m e ric an B a r Association an d th e O reg o n M a le lia r .

WATER HEATING Minimize the use ot water, both hot and cold Repair any leaky faucets immediately PGE joins 109 other utilities in the Pacific Northwest in urging custom ers to save energy now to help dilute the impact of a power crunch This winter. We share the groups concern that sooner or later, unless new generating plants, transm ission lines and other electrical facilities are built as needed w ithout im prudent delay for whatever reason., scarcity ot ele ctricity and enforced rationing may becom e a per manent tact of life in this region.
