UNITED NATIONS, New York,
Oct. 17 -While the1 Western world
devotes roost of its attention to the
Hoavncro hptu.-ppn it and the EasL
which is manifest iff the cold war
and in the hot one in Korea, here
at United Nations we; are made
aware of another disturbing factor
In world affairs. That is the rise of
nationalism, and the break-out Of
subject; people from colonialism.
- We who have long enjoyed, our
' Independence may not realize the
full extent of this movement. Al
ready, as Secretary Acheson point
ed out in his address Thursday,
of -the 800 million people who
were in the dependent category
ten years ago some 600 miliox
have attained full independence.

While progress . Is being made
toward,, self-government among
the remaining 200 million, there
are points of serious friction. To
speed up the process of liberation
is the goal vl many, of the coun
tries represented in U. N, par
ticularly the Asia-African bloc,
the Arab states. They are, how
ever, joined by a great number
of nations on other, continents.
The nationalist surge came to
the fore , in the plenary session
Thursday over the question of in
cluding items dealing with French
- administration in - Tunisia ana
Morocco in North Africa. The
' French are quite sensitive on this,
nevertheless the General Commit
tee and the Assembly approved
' including, them in the agenda for
consideration. ',
U Not only is there a rising tide
'of nationalism .

Job Offered
By Ike Backers
PORTLAND tfVSen. Wayne
Morse said 'Monday that he had
been offered a "high position in
public life" by Republicans in ex
change for his support of General
Eisenhower.
He declined to name the post,
In a telephone interview to the
Portland Oregonian, but said he
would produce documentary evi
dence to support his report of the
offer when he returns to Oregon
after the Nov. 4 election.
Morse told the Oregon Journal
by telephone that he intends to re
main a Republican and run for re
election in 195S on the Republican
ticket.! He said he hoped to make
the party more liberal and would
carry thej issue to the people In the
1956 campaign. r i
Taking! another swipe at the
party which he deserted in order
to support Governor Stevenson,
Morse said, The behind-the-scenes
representations made to me
by the Eisenhower crowd convin
ced me they would stoop to . any
thing to gain a victory. 'The people
of the State of Oregon are enti
tled to-know what kind of dealing
the Eisenhower people have been
doing,Mhe said.
To Democrats, who were jubil
ant over his support of Stevenson,
he warmed, I can be independent
of Democrats, too." i
Morse said he had been' asked to
speak for Stevenson "in a dozen
places," but had not made up his
mind whether he would do so.

Keallv Visions Court Bui
As jf Framing Capitol, Favors
- Leveling of Sunken Garden1
: y : By WINSTON H. TAYLOR .
; j Staff Writer. The Statesman J ;
A hew Supreme Court building
itol and mall, will highlight long-range plans Architect Francis Keally
will recommend to the State Board of .Control, Keally told The
Statesman Monday. - ' ,
Leveling of the "sunken garden" just north of the statehouse also
will be one of the recommendations
designed the Capitol 15 years ago.
He is in Salem this week to con
fer Informally with the board and
with the State Capitol Planning
Commission. : He is being considered-for
authority to restudy and
plan the area for future develop
ment. :
Double Facades
Keally said he would offer the
Board of Control proposals for a
court building just south of Union
Street, centered in the area be
tween Capitol and Winter Streets.
It would ' have identical facades,
north 'and south, to "be beautiful
from both'sides.
The great: center hall, in line
with Summer Street, would have
all-glass walls to provide a view
of the mall from the north. The
east and west wings would be ele
vated somewhat to frame the Cap
itol dome and Pioneer statue over
the halL If
Basement Parking
This would contribute dignity
and nobility" to the state area,
saia K.eany, aithougn other build
ings can be simpler and utilitar
lan, with I peauty." He would not
Zorget practical aspects in the
structure, for he proposes base
ment parking for justices and oth
er employes in the building, with
screened pff-street parking for
visitors. i j
As to the sunken garden, Keal'
ly already, has proposed that an
underground parking area . for
state employes be installed in this
block, making the ; surface even
with other: blocks. : At first this
lowering was a necessary contri
bution to the effect of the Capitol,
he said, but the lengthening of the
man recently, and its future 'ex
tension,1 will; make that unneces
sary and he will recommend its
leveling in; any case. '
