U7. - we remember correctly. A stately Douglas Fir, .growing up. tall and green amid the . splendor 'of white marble , on the : U.N, grounds, would be a fine and fitting gesture ; of Oregon interest in United Nations. Per haps someone or some organization could ship a living Douglas Fir to New York in time for United Nations Day "this October. Maybe other states would follow suit and soon there would be a fair-sized woodlot reflected if? the East River. That would be more meaningful than some cash donations. s i Member Associated Press" Xb Aaaoeiated Press is entitled" exclusively to lbs use for republication of ail local news printed t . . . . - this news pa pel " A Difficult Choice scheduled at 8 o'clock tonight. For many it -will be a toss-up as to which to attend. ? Dr. VojtechrE. Andic, zech-born educator with art impressive background in his field and now chairman of the Willamette Uriivern sity economics department, will talk on "Life , in Russia" at. the .music recital hall' on the campus. A. refugee from the communist purges in his home land, Dr. Andic knows , whereof he speaks when he discusses Com munism and its impact on Russia and 'else- . where. His lecture fives the rjublic an ODDor-. "tunity to learn, from the first-hand experi ence of a man who is able to evaluate the significance of today's events. ' 1 Another valuable oppojrtunity for the pub- . lie to learn from qualified authority is the series of mental health programs which be gins at the same time tonight in the State Blind .School auditorium.' Three films deal ing i with, problems of adolescence will be shown and Dr. John Waterman, director of ' mental hygiene of the State Board of Health, will lead discussion on pertinent subjects. . The ' series will include- programs dealing with children, marriage and, old age, and is a worthwhile educational experience spon sored by a, group which is working to set up a mental health association in Marion County. , r ..

There are people: "from all walks of lif" who realize that "life in Russia" is not just a faraway thing which has no signifi cance for us but a subject which has a direct : bearing on " our own future.

It's too bad we can't be two places at once. Locking the Door in Asia The agreement by Britain. France and the U. S. to 'form a Southeast Asia Treaty Or ganization ( SEATO) r4"to seal that region from furthe rt Communist penetration" amounts to locking( the barn, door after the horse is stolen. But Indochina is only one horse. There are others yet to be saved from the . same thief, and SEATO may be the means required. ' . '. Setting up SEATO, if indeed that is done, will be the partial fulfillment of a plan long cherished by Secretary John Foster Dulles. In his book "War or Peace" published in 1950, Dulles foresaw the establishment of a per manent Association of the Free Nations of Asia and the Pacific. He said: ' "It would cot, at least in the beginning, , be an essentially, military alliance, as the North Atlantic Treaty turned out to be. That military alliance was the culmination of much that went before, and Without the prelude . the alliance would have meant little. An ' Association for Asia and the Pacific would best start as a consultative council of those who have a common concern for national in dependence and human freedom and want to '' .' 'do something about it" . - SEATO, now, apparently turns out to be essentially a military alliance like NATO -not as Dulles had hoped but as circumstances have dictated. It will be. another regional pact, designed to guarantee the integrity of the members and based on collective self- defense as recognized by the United, Nations Charter. '?:- , . The ANZUS treaty between the U. S., Australia and New Zealand is a regional pact pledging members to guard against Com munist aggression and to maintain peace in the Pacific, but it does not provide for in- elusion of other nations. ' ' The United States is committed to Korean defense in the US.-Korea Mutual Defense Treaty signed last year, and to Japan in terms of the Mutual Security Aid Agreement; also dated 1953. ' All of these treaties taken together mean " that the "thus far and no farther" line has f - MW6 IT i I I If.?5.

He hopes his action will inspire others to send donations from "the sale of some Oregon product sheep, wheat, fish, etc. to the U.N. , ' . The, brief report from Eugene didn't spe- city; which .U-N." agency , would receive the , gressors that any further trouble will mean big trouble. Spoken warnings such as Vice President Nixon's talk of "massive retalia tion" are simply ignored, by the Reds. Hard-and-fast collective security agreements, how ever, backed by willingness and wherewithal to fight, have been respected so far. The establishment of SEATO, therefore, will mean .that Dulles managed to salvage something out of the Indochina debacle. But for him there must be bitter irony in the conjecture that if there had been a SEATO when he was graduated from midshipman school .at North western University. $50 which- cutting; the! 2Tfootfir ; would earlier there might have been ho Indochina net,; Nor does it say where others of similar : generosity should send their offerings.

Bondesen, GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty IRRITABLE COLON RESULTS FROM EMOTIONAL UPSETS -Emotional upsets are usually responsible from an irritable colon. , ' ' ; . '." - The colon or large intestine .of man is controlled by two sets of nerves. One set promotes the con traction of the intestinal wall with the production of mucus and an increase of circulation to the lining membrane of the intestine. The opposing system promotes a decrease in mucus secretions. In the normal person these two parts of the nervous system maintain a balance and the bowels work normally. However, when one part of the nervous system gains preponderance over the other, various symptoms will appear. ' - The part that promotes con traction of the bowel wall and the production of mucus is the one most likely to gain the upper hand. When this occurs, there is an increased activity of the bowel, with over-production of mucus. This condition is sometimes called mucous colitis or irritable colon. . . , V The patient complains of pain ful intestinal spasms and hind rance to the passage of the bowel contents, He suffers alternately from t constipation and diarrhea. with much discomfort and dis tention of the bowel from guv Ha sometimes feels as if he cannot have a bowel movement because of an obstruction at the outlet ' Many of these people fear that they have a serious disease of the bowel such as cancer. Their emo tional stability is usually less than average and they are con stantly anxious and insecure. . , A person who suffers from this" type of disease should be made to realize that he may have these attacks of spastic colitis, when ever he gets nervous, just as he may blush involuntarily when he is embarrassed. if he can learn a philosophy of relaxation, perhaps by developing some hobbies or removing stress from his life, the symptoms from an irritable colon will usually dis appear. . Sometimes the emotional diffi culty is so deep-seated that the help of a psychiatrist is urgently needed. The use of anti-spasmodic drugs with mild sedatives under the physician's directions is often of help. , . -Question and (fnswer Mr. P.: If penicillin is given by mouth, will it have less likelihood of causing severe allergic reac tions in the patient? . f Answer: Yes, this Is true, al though the reason why this bap pens is not known. j .j fs I '"'f- WlSLi ' 2363 feet, the lowest elevation any of the railroad passes.
