Member Associated Press : '-: Tba Associated Press ta entitled xcluslvetr t tho for rapubUraUoD of all tocai am print ad la Scrambled Eggs Conference It looks as though the Korean peace con ference would be scrambled eggs even before it starts. Britain and France and others in sist that Russia, be included among; the con ferees, recognizing that with Russia missing the conference would be like a performance of Hamlet without the gloomy Dane. The United States says it's OK to admit Russia if the Commies want him on "their side. Then ViShinsky pops, up to urge that five "neu trals" and six of the countries that fought in Korea constitute the conference. And of course he numbers Russia among the "neu trals." . Maurice Schuman representing France, de cried the American idea of "two sides" for the conference, proposing instead, that "all those who can usefully participate in the negotiations should, in all good logic, be in vited." Yes, but how useful would be the contribution of a medley of powers, each with a national interest at stake? Instead of a potpourri in which the John-ny-never-comes . would talk loud and long, the U.N. General Assembly should sort out the candidates and pick as conferees those that can make a constructive offering toward the settlement. Probably Russia should be admitted, though it ought to be in the prison ers' box along with North Korea. University Changes Dr. R. A. Kleinsorge, president of the State Board of Higher Education, reports the Uni versity of Oregon may have to function un der a temporary executive since the board has not yet picked a successor to President Harry K. Newburn whose resignation is ef fective Oct. I'. Dr. William C. Jones, who .has been Dean of Administration, has al ready left to organize an interstate colleg iate program; and Lyle Nelson, director of information, has accepted a position with Dr. Newburn . in the radio and television education study financed by the Ford Foundation. These are all good men, and their loss is a triple blow to the university. Nelson developed the ; Great Speakers series which proved a notable success the past two years. The board should take its time, however, in picking new leaders. The few "progressives" who took a "brain washing" 'from the Reds will quickly get back to normal when they i are home in the USA. A British veteran sized the situation up for his countrymen when he said of the British "converts" to Communism: "Get some liver and onions and a battle of beer into 'em and they'll be British again." For Ameri cans, substitute a generous serving of ma's apple pie. The Albany Democrat - Herald says that President Eisenhower "seems determined to get along with a minfnum of name-calling." The reporters must be missing HST. Clash Forming On By STEWART ALSOP PARIS A great crisis, cap able of shaking the Western Alliance to its roots, seems to be shaping up here. A head-on clash between France and the United States on two vital issues the Indo-Chi nese war and the European army now appears al m o s t inevit able. Of these two issues, the Indo- Chinese war may well present the most dangerpus pos sibilities. This is true, para doxically, despite the; fact that the French government has communicated to Washington the most hopeful program yet put forward for bringing the war to a successful conclusion. This plan, jointly conceived by Prime Minister Joseph Laniel and General Henri j Navarre, French commander in Indo China, can be reliably outlined as follows: First, for their part, the French promise to send nine fresh battalions of troops from metropolitan France, to strengthen the existing French forces in Indo-China. i Gen Na varre originally asked for . twelve battalions about 20,000 men in alL But after a good look at the bare French military cupboard, Laniel , icountered with an offer of nine battalions, which Navarre accepted as j a reasonable minimum.! ! Second,, the French govern ment is ready at last to offer genuine, rather than; mere pa- t per independence to the asso elated states of Indo-China. Thev Laniel-Navarre plan-calls for actually i turning ever power from French to Indo-Chinese of- I fleers, as rapidly as possible, in order to make -independence veal and visible to the Indo Chinese. Ij f Third, the French promise to make a really serious effort lo build a genuinely independent :a a- w esraan Gov. John 9. Fine of Pennsylvania is , quoted from Los Angeles as saying he didn't think McCarthyism is "such a bad influ ence." He added of the Wisconsin Senator: "I don't think he's doing any harm, but rather a service." Mortimer Snerd, in person! Between U. S. and France Indo-Chinese War, European Army Viet Namese nationalist, anti Communist army in Indo-China, modelled on the ROK army in Southern Korea. The theory is that such an army, plus the strengthened French army, will be able to defeat decisively the Communist armies in Indo China, short of direct Chinese Communist intervention, within two years or less. Thereafter, the evacuation of the French army from Indo-China can be gin. So much for the French part of the bargain which Laniel has proposed to American Ambas sador Douglas Dillon, and through him to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and President Eisenhower. The American part involves paying the cost of creating the nation alist Viet Nam army, which the French, of coarse, cannot pos sibly afford to do. The best guesses on the amount involved range between $300 and $400 million. This is over and above the $400 million recently appropriated for Indo China by Congress. This sum is considered only sufficient to maintain the status quo there. If the Laniel-Navarre plan is to have a chance of working, moreover, this extra sum most be made available as soon as possible. On the face of it, the Laniel-Navarre plan represents, at long last, a serious proposal for healing the running sore of the Indo-Chinese war. But the fact might as well be faced that this plan is a last chance and not a very good chance at that Laniel most be given credit for extraordinary political cour age for proposing this plan to Washington la the first place. He has the legal power for the time beiag to send more troops to Indo-China, bat such a move will be explosively no popular. French colonial and economic interests, moreover, have successfully opposed for years a grant of genuine Inde pendence for Indo-China. Laniel's , rightwing govern ment is partly dependent on such interests. And In any event, the growing shakiness of Ambulance Sirens ' The Statesman's Ion campaign - against the practice . of ambulance ,- drivers riding their sirens is bearing some fruit. The local Academy of Medicine got around to discuss ing it at a recent meeting and it was reported a national study showed use' of sirensjxuld be greatly curbed. The number of instances when ambulances need to tie down their sirens is limited. The possible saving of a few seconds rarely is the difference between life and death,, while serious accidents have occurred because of ambulance speeding. Sometimes sirens are used merely when sick are being transported, or on return trips from hospitals. Locally the abuse of sirens is far less than formerly. The point to be emphasized is that sirens ought never to be used unless necessary for safety to the ambulance and its occupants and safety to other users of streets "Mental somersaults" is the way Edgar Sanders, released from a Hungarian prison, described his reactions after 35 hours of interrogation by the Communists. He is a Briton who was arrested at the 'same time as Robert Vogeler, American. Both were f looking after foreign business interests in Hungary and were accused of being spies. Both "confessed" and since his return to this country Vogeler has done much lecturing against the Communist menace. Sanders was released after his wife addressed a personal letter to authorities in behalf of her husband. Vogeler and Sanders jlearned you can't do business safely in Communist countries and the lesson was seared into their brains. The Junior Fair at McMinnville Aug. 24-26 will have one unique booth, a "Know Your Weeds" exhibit. The county weed control supervisor is collecting samples of weeds from burdock tol tansy ragwort we sup pose, which will be shown. Some are poison ous to stock, some cause painful allergies to humans. The fight against weeds never ends -though chemical sprays have reduced the labor required in getting rid of them. State Treasurer Unander brought up that hardy perennial abuse of state-owned ears at a board foi control meeting Tuesday. Rules for use of public cars are strict, but occasionally they are broken. It seems to take a periodic jacking-up to stop use of state cars for personal transportation. A newsbrief from the National Geographic Society says that 80 per cent of the wooden Indians that formerly adorned the fronts of cigar stores were squaws. Now they are museum pieces, those that survive; and the corner cigar store is pretty much of a dodo itself. A news picture shows the street in a French city littered with accumulated gar bage, uncollected because of the workers' strike. We say if the French don't like the smell of the stuff they can just cart it away. Such demonstrations quickly bring their own cure. Signs of a "weather change" in labor re gulations may be noted in the decision of log ging and lumber workers at Sweet Home to end their , two weeks' strike and return to work under the former wage conditions. The workers decided that money in hand was worth more than idleness out of the brush. Laniel's position has "been amply demonstrated by the crippling strikes here, and by the threatened recall of the Parliament Most observers be lieve that the Laniel govern ment is not long for this world. They also believe that the trend is all in the direction of a gov ernment more to the left -headed by Pierre Mendes France or another like him, and dedicated to liquidating the Indo-Chinese war at almost any cost The plain fact is that the Laniel Navarre plan flies straight in the face of mount ing tide of sentiment in France for getting oat of Indo-China, on the basis of almost any con ceivable face-saving device. It is no use pretending that this tide does not exist Its exist ence was dramatically' demon strated when Mendes France, who promises a way! out of Indo-China, missed the pre miership by a handful of Totes. The tide has risen even higher with the Korean trace. "The Americans have liquidated Korea," the French say. "Why should we not liquidate Indo China?" They also say: "If Indo-China is to be independ ent and we are to lose it any way, why fight for it?" j Even in Laniel's own! cabinet there are those who would be delighted to quit Indo-China, if any face-saving formula could be found, or to dump the Indo Chinese problem in the Amer ican lap, if such a formula can- . not be found. Put against these facts two further facts. The American leaders, most notably President Eisenhower i himself, are convinced with good reason that Indo-China simply cannot be . allowed to f alL But the American government! is, also determined not to send Amer- , lean troops to Indo-China. In sack circumstances, one does not have to be a Cassandra to foresee the possibility of a head-on clash between France and the United States. The Indo-Chinese problem is not the only issue, moreover, which can bring on sack a clash. I ' H fOpyrtht jsssj- ':...

M. ROBEBTS, JR. Associated Press News Analyst A royalist coup In Iran has been about the only thing Britain and the United States could think of recently which would keep that oil laden land from falling into the hands of the Russians. And it wasn't really expected. The two Western allies have been handcuffed by several factors: L They didn't want the Iranian oil for themselves anymore. They only want to keep It away from Russia. 2. They had to abandon their ef forts to support the Mossadegh government in spite of his being their only hope for a long time against Russia, because they could no longer countenance his principle of expropriation lest it set fires in other Middle Eastern oil lands. a 3. Even if they had wanted to continue supporting Mossadegh, the time was arriving when eco nomic support would have had to be augmented by military support Mossadegh was in no position to handle mere munitions aid, and arrival of Allied forces, even mili tary missions, would merely have aggravated the extreme Iranian nationalists as well as being an in vitation to Russia to occupy the northern part of the country. 4. There was no political power outside of Mossadegh to which the Allies could appeal without re doubling the bitter anti-foreign feeling already prevalent through out the country and actually doom ing whoever accepted foreign co operation. a a 5. Mossadegh had begun to play footsie with the Communists, and had accepted Russia's invitation to sign new commercial agreements. If he was willing to let his desire for power and his anti-British feel ing carry him into the arms of the Russians, then he would have car ried with him any continued aid the U. S. might give. So it was cut off. Western observers were not sur prised five days ago when the Shah fled after an abortive attempt to designate a new Premier. The sur prise came Wednesday, when the royalists showed their strength. ... During those hours when the success of the coup was being de termined the big question was. "Where is the Tudeh (Communist) Party?" It has been supporting Mossadegh openly since his final split with the West, but the entente already was reported wearing thin. Were the Communists lying ba-k, hoping that the royalists and the nationalists would damage each other so badly that Moscow could handle the winner?

We will have our ownj battles to fight ADA 'Shocked' By New GOP Power Policy WASHINGTON UT) Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) Wed nesday denounced the Eisenhower administration's newly-announced power policy, as a "shocking ex ample? of subordinating public to private Interests. It Is an "open desertion" of a principle initiated by Theodore Roosevelt and expanded under Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, said a statement by Rob ert R. Nathan, chairman of ADA'S Executive Committee. The Interior-Department , in a policy statement issued Tuesday with President Eisenhower's back ing emphasized that local interests, either public or private, must play the main role in supplying electri city to the nation. It added the federal government would continue to build big multi purpose dams which local enter prise Is unable to undertake. "The administration's decision to rely primarily on local Interests for the development of natural re sources for production of electric power is an ill-concealed give-away of resources which belong to all the people. . ." said Nathan. The ADA describes itself as a liberal organization dedicated to advanc ing the principles of recent Demo cratic administrations. Nathan said that under the new policy private po-ver interests will be in a position to "get a strangle hold on power development and dis tribution, and thus put the brake on the continuing expansion of pow er for industries and farms, which has been in progress since the turn, or the century." Clyde T. Ellis, executive man ager of the National Rural Elec trie Cooperative Assn., issued a statement saying the new policy will "work a great hardship" on the rural electrification program. It will cost the farmers several million dollars, a year on their wholesale power bills, Ellis said, because only power companies, in most cases, can afford to build power projects and transmission lines.
