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

more meaningful than some cash donations.

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 .. " . . :
I Both of these stimulating programs show
can be. 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. Similar lyV we
know that the problem of mental health is
' one which comes close to home and at the
same time is of great importance to the na
tion a a whole.
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

A Eugene lumberman, full of good inten

not the tree itself but the proceeds therefrom
to the United Nations. He hopes his action
will inspire others to send donations from

wheat, fish, etc. to the U.N. , ' .

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,

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
