Such a question, of course, is a difficult one to ans- ' wer. Persons far better informed are engaged In a con tinuous study of the organization. Some of them are un decided upon the answer. To attempt to answer such a question, you must first remember one basic thing. : The UN is not a world government, a super-govern ment which makes the sovereign nations of this troubled planet jump through a world hoop. Practically all of its decisions are purely recommendations. How far each government goes in carrying out tnose recommendations is up to that government. But those recommendations have considerable force, in that they have some strength in determining world opinion, nation by nation. That opinion can, in the case of the democracies particularly, have considerable force in determining a national course of action. Tha other afternoon the Security Council of the United Nations was debating attacks by Israeli troops against some of Israel's Arab neighbors. The Israelis al ways have defended the attacks in the past on the ground they wore counter-attacks against previous Arab attacks. (The whole Israel-Arab question has been a knotty one for a number of years. Each side has its points, each has its supporters.) In the Security Council debates the French, British and Americans were joint authors of a resolution censuring-Hie Israel government for ordering the raids or for condoning them. Russia and Syria were suggesting that Israel be forced to pay reparations for damage done during the attacks. The Russians and the Syrians came around to the western point of view, and the council passed the reso lution. Now the Israel government has indicated that it is willing to change its position of the past. ? Quite possibly such would not have been the case without the' resolution passed by the council. , So, in this case at least, the UN can be said to have done some good. ' Tho work of the Security Council, although most frequently in the headlines, probably has not been the most important contribution of the UN to the world in the last 11 years. But in the field of world health and education, to tako only two examples, the UN has mnde vast contri butions in some of the earth's backward areas. Millions of people are aivo today because of UN medical teams Millions of others will live better li'vos because of the UN's work in education. There are many other facets to the United Nations, far too many to attempt to review them all in a limited space. But a quick glance at the whole, forgetting the occasional failures of some of the parts, gives one a feel ing that our limited expenditures of funds for the UN have been wise ones. Edson In Washington America's Greatest Newspaper NEW YORK, N.Y. Tho Chicago Tribune calls itself "The World's Greatest Newspaper," a statement with which there is lots of room for argument. The New York Times calls itself "The Newspaper of Record, but could call itself "America's Greatest Newspaper" and there would be few who could argue. The Times is not the biggest newspaper in America that distinction belongs to the New York Daily News. It , does not print tho largest number of pages, that honor goes to the Milwaukee Journal. It does print the biggest , amount of news. ', The New York Times is a newspaper. The Bend Bui Min is a newspaper. There the similarity almost ends. The Times has around 5,000 employes, 4,000 or more of them on a full time basis. The weekly payroll is ap proximately $600,000, equivalent to four full years of , Bend Bulletin payrolls. One evening during our two-week seminar at Colum bia university the entire group were the guests of tho pub- lisher of The Times. After a full day of sessions we made our way to Tho Times building, just off Times Square. We spent an hour and a half seeing a small part of the building. U'lVcryining noma me operation staggers the imagi nation. The Bulletin's press can print eight pages at one time. The Times has 100 press units, each of them able to nrint 16 mures at the h;hiu time 1 After dinner in the building we gathered in an ex- N ceutivo conference room for a three-hour question and; I answer session with executives of the newspaper. Present, in addition to members of our group, were the publisher, his assistant, the managing editor, the edi . lor of the editorial page, the advertising director, the ;' promotion manager and several others of the newspaper's top men.

Economic Report is Praised By PKTKB EDSON NKA WiiMhiiiKlon Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) The clearest statement yet on Eisen hower administration policies is contained in the 53 specific rec ommendations of the President's new economic report. . Many Eisenhower enthusiasts may not realize there is such a thing as an administration-, eco nomic program. When they say I hey arc all-out Eisenhower sup porters and would like to sue him servo a second term, they are speaking in terms of personal loyalty to a hero leader. Ask the average Ike man wht the President s program is. how ever, and you H probably get i blnnk stare or a general statement he's tor a balanced (budget and peace. From Eisenhower's opponents there might come an answer that the President is for the GOP, big business and special privilege, or ttyU he has done nothing for or ganized labor and tho farmers. One look at the President's rec ommendations in his annual Eco nomic Report to Congress out lines the policies. I What emerges Is a 12-point pro gram of farm relief, reduction of unemployment, increased earnings for low-income groups, greater social security for older people, greater aid for victims of disaster. more slum clearance and public housing, aid to education and hospital facilities, encouragement of higher education, expansion of international trade, strengthening of antitrust law enforcement, con tinuation of existing tax rates and increasing the stability of the ex panding U.S. economy. There are two to nine detailed recommendations under each of these main headings.

In fact, this Eisenhower program ir so liberal in many of its aspects that some Democrats may charge that its provisions were borrowed from them. Extreme liberals may say its recommendations don't go far enough. But reactionary Re publicans will suy it is fur too left wing. President Eisenhower's State of the Union message was in broad generalities. The Budget message tossed Uie billions around in such bookkeeping detail that it was incomprehensible. But the Eco nomic Rrport comes out as a campaign document that Eisen hower Republicans can ride on as their platform lor wrfi, it they will. The introductory part of the message and its many charts ?ivc picture of today's record pros perity. Gross national product is approaching 400 billion dollars Total employment at nearly 65 million. Unemployment , reduced over the past year. Average dus trial weekly wage near $80. Wholesale and retail prices steady. The 53 varielies of specific" rec ommendation in the President's message do not indicate that these conditions ar perfect, nor that they will go on forever. They point out the weak spots in the economy. Farm income is too low. There nve spotty depression areas of chronic unemployment There is too much rural poverty Consumer credit may be too high There are too many mergers. The president will be criticized for leaving to the states resiwnsi bility for some of the corrective action. Increasing workmen's com pensalion, unemployment insur ance, minimum wage coverage, teacher and vocational training and sharing in the cost of some federal public works are examples But by and largo, the list of recommendations in this report is a challenge to Congress. If this is the President's "must list" of leg islation he wants Congress to act on in the last year of his first term, the lawmakers will have to get busy. The report will be scrutinized in 13 days of public hearings before the Joint Congressional Economic Committee under Sen. Paul Dotig lns (D-Ul) beginning Jan. 31. The committee hopes to make its own report March 1. 1 F-S WHY DRIVE? Save time and strain... yet spend no more via United Air Linai! SEATTLE 2Vs hrs. SAN FRANCISCO 4Vi hrs. taaarit ritla. laamaaa.

The 16-inch steel pipe is encased in a two-inch thick concrete wrap per to keep it from floating. The pipe, welgmng 2 W tons was tugged into place spanning the river by a force of eight, mighty bulldozers. The 1700-foot long pipe will bf one of the major links in the company ;ystem to feed natural gas to the eastern part of the city from its Linton plant.

Kublai Khan, Mongol emperor from 12o9 to ViH, re portedly gave the double-o to Marco Polo through large round crystal lenses, ivory-framed and held on by weighted strings behind the ears. The invention of movable type gave an assist to the spectacle makers, for 15,000,000 'books were in the hands of Europeans by 1500. Then the invention of the telescope in the 1600 s was fol lowed by the long-lasting lorgnette craze among the ladies. Nobles and dandies of the 1700's carried single-style lorgnettes as watch- fobs, in snuff-boxes, on the heads of canes, and wherever else prac tical (or Impractical. The monocle was first worn in England about 1800, allegedly by! an actor with one weak eye who did not want to wear spectacles on the stage. It won spasmodic popularity in England. Americans took it up in a minor way In 1880 and again in 1913, but today about the only Americans who use mono cles are Charles Coburn and Char lie McCarthy.
