i We Oregonians live close
enough to California to be aware
of its growth and its social
changes and its neat balance of
pride in history- and optimistic
absorption in the future;, yet' far
enough away to be at least semi
detached in; weighing the new
values exploited in our southern
' neighbor. It remained however
for Bruce B liven, a long-time
New York editor, to cast up ac

Ever since the first world war
the growth in population in Cal
ifornia has been one of the won
ders of the country. The gold
rush to the Golden State didn't
stop with the coming of depres
sion. In fact the invasion of Okies
and Arkies from the dust bowl
and the impoverished sections of
the country prompted Los An
geles to post guards at the state
borders to fend off the multitude.
The second world war brought in
service men and industrial work
ers by the millions, and Califor
nia's growth hasn't slackened off
mucfi yet It is around 1,400 a

The United States outside of

PARIS tf Premier Pierre
Mendes-France ;oes before the
National Assenjbly'again this week
to defend his policies in isortn ai
rica. aware . that the outcome
might mean the downfall of his
seven-montlHld government
The danger comes this time not
alone from his enemies, but from
his friends as well.
This will be the third debate and
vote on North Africa since Mendes-
France took Office.
: His enemies are using it much
as the opposition to Premier Jo
seph Laniel kept forcing debates
on Indochina last summer to bring
his downfall.
x Now there is danger of defec
; tion of a small but perhaps
decisive croup of Mendes-
France's colleagues in the Radi
cal Socialist Party on the North
African issue.
Mendes-Ftance may be able to
patch things together well enough
to survive the vote, but it is ex-
' pected to be touch-and-go until the
last minute.
The debate istarts : Wednesday
and wiu go on through Thursday
Mendes - France probably will
make the vote one of confidence
In that case the vote will not take
place until Friday.

feet before coming to a halt The
plane's damage was reported as
minor.
.Pilot Edward Kuhn,'30, of Miami
Springs. Fla.. told Civil Aeronaut
ics Administration authorities the
plane developed trouble in one en

180 miles southwest of Chicago.'
The plane had left Chicago an
hour earlier after its arrival from
Newark, N.J., with a contingent of
Army troops bound for Oklahoma
City, Okla., and the West Coast
Kuhn said his distress signal was
not picked- up until he had back
tracked half way to Chicago when
a CAA operator at Joliet, 111., ac
knowledged his message. The pilot
said the plane's altitude then had
dropped to 100 feet and one en
gine was out.
Hopes of reaching the Joliet Air
port faded, he said, as the plane
steadily lost altitude. He belly
landed near Coal City, 25 miles
southwest of Joliet.
Kuhn walked a mile to Coal City
to contact authorities who sped
State Police to the crash scene.
The plane also had scheduled
stops at Monterey and Oakland,

The soldiers aboard the downed
plane were brought by special bus
to Chicago where they boarded an

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y.
Soviet Russia proposed a cease
fire here Sunday for the Formosa
area, but coupled it with a demand
for U. S. withdraw! of all its armed
forces from the area. - r
In effect Russia called for sur
render of the offshore islands with
out a struggle and a clear path to
conquer Formosa and the Pesca
dores, which the United States has
undertaken to protect .
The Russians, in presenting a
draft resolution for the UJi. Se
curity Council, added a violent at- ;
tack on what it called UJS. ag
gression against Red China.
The move came on the eve of a
Security Council meeting, called by
New Zealand and backed by the
Western powers, to discuss a cease
fire for all the offshore China .
islands from the Tachens down
through Quemoy. -
Steps Planner
The Soviet delegation circulated
its draft resolution while . the
Western powers still were consult
ing jra the steps they planned to
take at tne meeting Monday morn
ing (11 a.m. EST).
The move, in line with recent So-
viet and Chinese Communist propa
ganda attacks on U.S. policy in the
Far East lent strength to the fore
cast of a long and bitter word
battle in. the council, especially if
the Chinese Communists, agree to
send representatives for the debate.
An invitation to both sides is re
quired under the-'UJJ. Charter. .
.Whether Red China would ' accept
was one of the puzzles as delegates
gathered here. The United States
wiL' not oppose the invitation.
Strong Opposition .
Delegations of New Zealand. Bri-
tain, France and the United States
continued pre-council consultations '
to plan their strategy in the face .
of Nationalist Chinese opposition
to the invitation and despite the .
new Soviet maneuver.
Sir Leslie Munro, the New Zea
land ambassador who is council
president until Monday midnight,
said he would have to study
the Soviet resolution thoroughly
before commenting on the step.
The agenda item as hey pro- ?
posed it would be question of hos
tilities in the area of certain
islands off the coast of the main
land of .China. ...v;;, .. . :c
U. S. Aggression .
Arkady A. Sobolev, Soviet dele- '
gation head, titled his proposed
item "United States acts of aggres-.
sion against the Chinese People's
Republic in the Taiwan (Formosa)
area and other islands of China.
The simple language problems
involved here promised intensive
debate even before the main ques
tion was reached. '
, Red China's latest comment a -Peiping
broadcast of a news dis
patchwas .that the moves here '
for a Formosa cease-fire were
aimed at "a war of aggression
against (Red) China under the
United Nations flag."
The Chinese Communist broad-
cast accused U.S. leaders of mak
ing warlike statements. So did Sob
olev- in the draft resolution he pro
posed the council adopt
