BO H JJUUIIV UUV.UIIIVII l , I I " Federal Reserve figures for department store sales In all metropolitan areas, as contrasted with 1955. "This is the picture," Dick says, "the sales of depart ment stores in the metropolitan cities for 1956 were up 4 . per cent, in the far Western states up 5 per cent, but Los Angeles and Portland gain was 0 per cent." On which Dick and Maurino pessimistically comment: "Thus Portland, alone with Los Angeles, Is the only metropoli tan area in the West where retail sales in department stores did 'not rise to some extent during 195G. The report is disturbing for two special reasons: til Department stores have greater facilities tor forcing sales and 'pushing' merchandise than do small mer .. . chants and storekeepers; and 121 Portland has generally been ' more prosperous than Oregon communities in the lumber and rural regions. As I have been emphasizing ever since 1954, the Oregon economic outlook does not call for hysterical alarm, but . neither is it particularly reassuring. The situation demands vigi--...lant attention, a stress on realties, political nonpartisanship, and , the courago to be bold and vigorous in proposing remedies." The current issue of the U. S. News and World Report con tains a complete report from city, that this is still a prosperous country, with a boom that is still going on, with some of paratively few weak spots showing." The figures used are from government departments, and show: Portland's average worker's income $4,4118 for 1M6, up 8.1 - from a year ago. National average income up only 4. Extent of ' unemployment, moderate. Employment up 3 per cent against U. S. ' average of 2.4. Department store sales down II per cent, against . .the national average of 1 per cent gain. .Backing activity up 15 against a national average gain of C.9 per cent. The drop in Portland's department store sales is due to the fact that the larger stores have established branches in some of the larger cities of Oregon, together with the drift of trade to suburban centers. Some 28 cities, including New York, Boston, Pitlshilroh Wnsliinrrtnn.. f?inr,inn;il i fllevolnnd llnnslnn. Min. neapolis', and Omaha, showed a loss in department store sales and the national average gain was only 1 per cent. The U. S. News summarizes as follows: Thus, the boom is not making as much headway as formerly. In a numher of lines that once were strong. Ihere are new signs of difficulty that have not yet been reflected in the official figures. What evidence there is of a continuing boom is confined to fewer cities. Where the hoom is fadint however, business suffers liltle by any historical standards. Activity tends to stabilize instead of shrinking seriously'. Nowhere in this survey of more than 50 cities do you find any sharp declines. Is our Dick, with typical Oregon inferiority complex, posing as me raut licvere oi depression: u.r. Si on Townrd Kiii'oiH'Mii Ilnilv . r - - 1 j The British government has Issued a White Paper endorsing the project for a European industrial free trade area and called on the Council of Ministers of the 17-natinn Organization for '. European Economic Cooperation to establish machinery for negotiating the detailed arrangements and drawing up of a : treaty as soon as possible. Hilherlo, Britain hesllalod to join all Western Kuropo Inlo a great economic block of 250 million people, which would change (he economy, and later perhaps, the political map of the world. It is the culmination of the free trade posl-war movement for European unification, which has already led to political organizations such as the Council of Europe, the military alliance of the Western European union functioning within the North Atlantic Alliance, and to the Continental Coal and Steel Community with its supra-national authority and parliament. These nations live In a community only a fraction of the size of continental U. S. and cannot live off the primary materials provided by its own tcrrilnrial basis, so ils life and growtn hangs upon abundant and increasing primary supplies from outside. European skill, enterprise and capital have been de voted to developing such outside sources and sea lanes to insure safety of trade channels. One can understand Europe's reaction to the seizure of the Suez. Canal, severing ils life line. The purpose of the European free trade area is to create a single market for all Industrial production, free from tariffs, quotas and other trade barriers, which will permit mass pro duction and enable Europo to compete with both the United States and Russia. It Is a preliminary for ultimate political uni fication with eventually a United Stales of Europe. Because of Commonwealth ties, Britain Is not yet ready to go that far but will "associate" herself with the customs union in the free trade area but keep her Commonwealth preference system for agricultural products for the present. G.P. Thanks lo Legislators The cily of Salem owes thanks to the Oregon Slate Senale for the memorial lo the Civil Aeronautics Board asking that United Airlines Service be retained In Salem. The memorial is now In the House where it undoubtedly will be approved, and no sense of risk is felt in extending thanks to that body in advance. With the city administration, the Chamber of Commerce, the State Hoard of Aeronautics, and now the Legislature, pull ing for it, together with the fight being made by United itself, the cause certainly should prevail at a hearing before CAM a liltle later In the year. The hearini'. of course, will he on application of feeder lines to come into Salem, anil they deny any intention of rooting United out. Hut the manner in which the case was docketed leaves ground for fear that CAB would cancel United's trunk service if a feeder were Riven a permit to op erate here. H isn't a question whether Salem wants an additional lim ited service or doesn't want it. If it can come and work coope ratively with United, well and good. The thine is that Salem and all the other petitioners want United In stay. Sand Dunes Mobilizing Oregon, it seems, needs a law to prohibit sand dunes from running at large. A sand dune is all right in its place, but it won't stay there. Much as the children who scamper along the beach love them, the mounds of. sand seen from a drive along the coastal highway aren't as innocent s they seem to be. They are on the move, and causing no end of trouble. Authority for this Is the state's committee on natural re sources, which has a subcommittee reviewing the problem of stabilizing the dunes, which are threatening private homes and property, highways, state parks, timber, and river and stream outlets. So it's no joking matter. The aubcommittee is contacting federal agencies respon sible for administering most of the land Some of the dunes are privately claimed, and control by the various owners Is Urged, the owner of a sand dune lietler put a dime liglil fence around It or h may be faced by the penally of a state or i f Mitral law, Months, 17.40; one year, 119.00. mat to J'OIU 1UI J IOAJIU J LI a, official figures showing, city by its steam lost with only com.- RAY TICKER UN Prestige at Low Point Due to Unsolved Problems WASHINGTON - The apparent inability of the United Nations to solve several potentially grave . .... iv J. N.'s prestige to ils lowest point, it has led to demands for dissolution or revision of the international or ganization be cause of its in effectiveness. I Within the last few weeks, its KAY TLCKKH mandates have been defied by member nations which comprise more than half of the world's population. The. so countries and the questions on which they delib erately flouted the U.N. are: Russia on Hungary and the satellites generally; Britain France and Israel in their attack on Kgypt; Israel in refusing to withdraw troops from hgyptmn soil; France on independence in Algeria; India in refusing to hold a plebiscite on disputed Kashmir: China, a nonmcmbcr, in failing to take steps for Korean unification In all these problems the U.N has been helpless to enforce its demands through diplomacy or military action. Voting Within U.N. Moreover, voting control within the U.N. has finally passed to the anti-Western, anti-Democratic and nnti-colonial members. Russia can block any . action in the Security Council by a single veto. The So viet and Afro-Asian bloc, with 36 votes, can prevent action in the General Assembly, where a two- thirds vote is required for a de cision. Sometimes, a few South Ameri can nations vote with them when questions of colonialism are in volved. On several occasions, members of the American bloc and the British Commonwealth have lined up against Washington and London. The fact is that the dominant figures within the U.N. are not President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Mncmillan, but Dictator. Khrushchev, Neutralist Nehru and Colonel Ganial Abdel Nasser of Kfiypt. Imbalances and Inadequacies There arc even more serious in- balances and inadequacies in the United Nations as now consilutcd. The United Stales and Russia. with populations of Wo. 000,000 and 200,000,000, respoctirely, have the me voice and vote m the Gen DAVID LAWRENCE USA Faith, Patience Playing an Important Role in Mid-East WASHINGTON - Tatience and the persistent force of reason are playing a winning role in the ef fort to bring peace to the Middle Fast. The changing headlines from achieving justice for the tiny re ? e. public must' see m , for ex- & a m pic, to I he average reader to he a sort of zigzag, but ac tually they re flect the steadv pressure of American lead ership cxertcu in an objective and D. I.AWRKNCK disinterested manner. Thus, from the very beginning of the controversy over the block ing of Israeli ships by Kgypt from the use of either the Sue. Canal or the Gulf of Aqalm -especially sineu the latter route affords the only outlet for Israel to the Indian Ocean the department of state has recognized (lie principle of freedom of navigation in interna tional waters. That same principle Is still upheld by the United States and will be insisted upon in the future. Kmollnns vs. Principle Hut it is one thing tn take a stand on a principle and another thing to obtain acceptance ot its many collateral obligations by par ties to a dispute in which emotions are al fever pitch. What has been happening in the Inst several days is a significant illustration of the delicate art of diplomacy, which right ly seeks to postpone R crisis by the continu ous introduction of now alterna liws. First it was believed that n simple resolution by the United Nations calling on Israel to with draw her troops from Kgypt's ter tiroty in the vicinity of the Gulf of Aqaba would be sufficient. Hut il turned out that Israel would not accept such a rnpiesl without get ting in advance certain guaran tees or assurances of freedom of na igalion. Actually, Fgvpt has inner renounced her view that she is at war with Israel, What Will Come Next? Since the United Nation wasn't j able to furnish assiuaiues against ; a renewed attack by Knypt, it was thought by many nbsen ei s that only one moe was left to de mand Israel 's w illult awal of ; troops and to Impose "sanctions" j of an economic or financial nature if shr didn t obey, But the state department here expressed its j view privately that "sanctions"! wouldn't settle anything, and the j secretary-general ol the I'nitrd Nations said the vinir thing in an of I ii'i a! report To impede " sanc tions,'' he fell, would only enlarge the area of t.iHrn.rs, tWhnl next The I'nitrd States ratnf up with a hold sucgestinn It would announce lu adherence 1 '0 mm m eral Assembly as Iceland and Is rael, with a combined population of less than '4,000,000. But if the actions of these two tiny nations lead to war, it will be the populous and powerful countries which must make the most severe sacrifices of von and money. To put it more shockingly, 5 per cent of the world's popula tion Russia can prevent 95 per cent from taking effective action in the Security Council. And 10 per cent can obtain a two-thirds majority in the General Assem bly. Finally, the controlling mem bersthe .Soviet and Afro-Asian groups are among the world's most backward nations In every way. Where they are not mere puppets of totalitarian and hostile Moscow, they consist of countries whose peoples cannot read or write or produce. They are run ning and ruling the world organi zation. Revived "Secret Diplomacy" These distortions have had two results which the U.N. was sup posed to eliminate from interna tional politics. They have brought a revival of the "secret diplomacy" that has caused so many wars. The world's difficulties are no longer threshed out on the open floor of the U.N. They are handled and dickered over In the New York hotel rooms of delegates and diplomnts, with Secretary General Dag Hammar skjold as the tight-lipped pgent. In his conferences with King Saud of Arabia, Crown Prince Ab dul Illah of Iraq, Foreign Minis ter Charles Malik of Lebanon, as with Mncmillan and French For eign Minister Christian Pineau- to mention only a few Eisen hower has bvpassed and short-circuited the U.N. Another effect lias been the re sumption of prewar alliances and balance of power agreements such as the European free market. Eisenhower's new Middle East Doctrine, and the French nlan to develop a franco-African empire. ine.u.w, may not go the way of the defunct League of Nations after ils defiance by Hitler, Mus solini and the Japanese war lords. Hut it appears to be tottering on the edge as a strong keeper of the peace. Should that come about, it would leave the United States in noble but lonesome isolation While we exalt international mor ality as supposedly exemplified by the" U.N., other nations base their policies on realistic and national ist ic needs. lo I he principal of freedom of navi gation and lend its support lo se cure the observance of that prin ciple. But how? By military forcel 1 he answer came that il would be sufficient for all practical pur poses merely to set forth the prin ciple publicly and America's back ing of it. Would Kgypt Abide? Would Kgypt abide by the prin ciple? Obviously, the Cairo gov ernment wouldn't want lo say so in advance because it would look ns if this was a public surrender to the Israeli viewpoint and in the Middle East "face-saving" is im portant. Meanwhile, conversations he tween the American representa tive at the U.N., Henry Cabot Lodge, and the Kgyptian foreign minister, as well as negotiations participated in by the adroit secre tary general himself, led to the conclusion that something could yet be done to avert an outbreak of war and somehow patch up the dispute. The way of the peacemaker is beset with many obstacles and it takes a long time to negotiate an agreement when there has been such emotionalism displayed by the disputants and their sympa thizers. It is. however, apparent already that neither side wants more bloodshed and that f ho voice of reason is gradually being heed ed. Some of the lending men in side the Kgyptian and Israeli gov ernments hae been educated in universities in the West, and th ir minds are aculelv responrive to the force of world opinion. This presents a real hope in the present situation. Israel llttT lo Slay Plainly the Middle Kast prob lem will not be sohed until Kgypt realizes that Israel is here to stay it was created by the U.X. it selfand that, ns in all interna tional controversies which defy settlement, the task is to find a way to live with a problem rather than lo try to impose drastic solu tions The clumsy entry of Soxiet Hus sia into the picture in the last 4fl hours is not altogether without ils advantages. Kor the hostility of the Communists to the "Kisen liower Doctrine" is a point in its favor which hesitant senators wdl not (ad lo note. Significantly, too, the Soviet mine is on the side of peacenot w ar. Moscow not so long ago was threatening to send "volunteers" to the Middle Kast. Now il comes forth with a "holier than thou" plan to bring peace. J t'.S.

Dear Editor: "WHO WAS PAUL M. WAR BURG??" He was a European financier who floated certain banking ideas, which later became the federal Reserve System, a private money monopoly, and has no close as sociation with our government, which many are prone to believe. In order lo achieve his nefar ious ends, from 1913 lo 1921, War burg purchased two important members of our then Congress. Then with the power behind Presi dent Woodrow Wilson, one Col. Manville House, persuaded the majority of Congress to relinquish their rights and sacred -duties namely "have Congress coin our i JAMES MARLOW Dulles Shows No Signs of Sinking Despite Torpedoing Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON IB Contusion at times has spread around Sec retary of State Dulles like oil around a torpedoed ship. This is one of the times, although he's still afloat and shows no signs of sinking yet. 1 he Eisenhower administration. which appears anxious to make everybody hap py in the .Middle Kast, seems to be making no body hnppy. It s in a box over Egypt and Is rael. Dulles came up with n key which so far has opened nothing. JA.MKS MA It LOW Gave Tim Rrnsnns Israel, despite I'nitrd Nations' resolutions, has refused lo with draw ils Iroons from the Ciaza Strip and an area around the (lulf of Aunha. It tnve two reasons: IMoro it withdrew from either phue. it wanted guarantees that Kuypl would not be able to raid Israel across liaa or hloekiule Is raeli shippinK in the (lulf of Aqa ba. The 1'. N. otfered no guaran tees. It just said; "tiet out." Israel's refusal was getting Hol ies and American foreign policy into a jam. Israel is an American friend. The I'nitrd States helped create Israel. But the I nited States als-o wants to win the friendship of the Arabs, includ ing Kgypt. This week the Arab states were ready to ask the I'.

I'm Not Lost money and put the value there on" and they substituted instead counterfeit money, poltically yet falsely called Federal Reserve Notes. The Federal Reserve System is a small chain of twelve private banks, an aristocracy, and thereby a great deal of banking independ ence was lost, and also made pos sible for speculative financiers to centralize great sums of money for their own profit and not for our government, and just in time to father the War of 1918, which made them further huge profits. The reason that 12 zone Federal banks were established, instead of one central New York bank, was that by so doing the public would become suspicious that it was a scheme lo keep the nation's mon ey flowing to New York. And that is the reason that to day, this reprcsensible outfit can and still does frequently make TIGHT money, and regulate in terest. The management is en tirely in the hands of the so called "Experts in Finance." with- What Did Support Mean? One of Iho troubles immediately word "support." What did that mean? Would the United States use armed force lo make Kgypt let Israeli ships use the gulf? If so. Dulles certainly didn't say so, and other officials have carefully avoided any suggestion that force might be used. As a matter of fact, Dulles has said nothing directly for publica tion. All this v ns handled oblique ly at the Stale Department so that Dulles is never directly quoted as saying anyllng. But what right would the I'nited States have to use force if that's what Dulles had in mind, and he probably didn't against Kgypt to make her Rive Israeli ships clear sailing in the gulf? None. If force wasn't to be used, then what would "support" for Israel mean Pious speeches in the V. N. That could -hardly be called a guarantee for Israel, al though Israel has been asking guarantees before pulling her troops back. The Israelis' reaction could have been predicted: They want to know what Dulles means by "support"? And now Kgyptian of ficials have attacked the Dulles proposal. A Smile or Two A I'nited States Congressman, In New York on business, had put up at an American-plan hotel. The first evening, at dinner, he was handed a menu, but tossed it aside. Instead, he slipped the waiter a dollar and said, "Bring me a good dinner." Pleased with the dinner, he con tinued this throughout his stay al the hotel. During his last meal there he mentioned lo the water that he would he returning to Washington. The waiter, earnestness etched in to his face, replied: "Well. sir. when you or any of your friends that can't read come to New York, just ask for Dick, sir." Tracks. A Yale graduate, perusing the want ads in a metropolitan jour nal, saw one' that seemed promis ing. "Wanted." it read, "a bright Harvard man or equivalent."

Boston I Globe. out giving our government any part of it. We are thus obliged to ask this financial giant permission for a part of our money, as they set themselves up as the real judges of our national and international money policies. I his traitor Warburg when forming the group advised his European banker friends "that with America it is possible to get what you desire if you play the game skilfully Also "politicians are necessary pawns to play the game of politics, but they are not wanted in banking. He may be good enough for the govern ment ot me United Stales, but he is not good enough for bankers." Shame on our national leaders, of the days ot '21, and increasing shame on those of today who know the "inside" and do nothing about it. The prices of both goods and services are set by the Federal Reserve members both good and bad times are started and stopped; wo are see-sawed up and down, without any reference or respect for natural laws of supply and de mand. Instead it is all arranged in committee rooms. Further, the New York Federal is the central U. S. bank and serves the speculative part of the county, always in the minority, with millions while the produc tive part of the country is per mitted to wilt with paltry thou sands. The System is entirely wrong; economically wrong, logically WTong, commercially - wrpng and also criminally wrong. And the height ot this so-called Reserve, is but the depths ot the country's depressions. The gags have been effectively placed on many men in high offices and the press, men competent to criticize. The high officials are tied up by their campaign contributions; legisla tive officials are indebted, and they are scared to speak their minus against a nefarious system, which has ditched, drained and damned our great country and don't let anyone tell you to the contrary. George H. Holmes, 1.126 3rd St., Salem, Ore, Against Pension Bill Dear Editor, Two legislators. are asking for a bill for one Justice Thomas Jones to receive a pension of $150 per month. I don't believe he should have this pension. 1( he held a job ot that sort, he should of saved some money and if passed, he should be forced to sign a pauper's oath like the rest ol the pension ers. Of course we shouldn't deny anyone a pension of that age. But let us be fair. We have one old man 77 years old up for murder who tried to live on $28 a month. Thais democracy. Respectfully yours.

Bal dock, state highway engineer, for a $7,200,000 traf fic relief plan for Salem stated that the plan had aroused em phatic opposi tion against a one way street grid and two lane bridges. This, said the editorial, was mostly mo tivated by self ne.v MAXWELL ish interest and that the "plan which is best for the greatest num ber will in the end be best for all." Arrival of the French railroad car with its load of 30 gifts from the French people to the people of Marion county had been set for Feb. 21, 1949.

I felt I had known her forever. Then Miss Hepburn did some thing for which I now nominate her (or another Academy Award. She paused, her blue eyes wi dened as she looked into my face (lined by years of noble living and lack of proper exercise), and a bit breathlessly she gave thu immortal line: "I have a feeling I know you from before. Haven't we met somewhere . . . sometime?" 'I'm Afraid Not' "No, I'm afraid not." my mouth murmered, but my heart said si lently: "Don't listen to him, little Au drey. He's a liar.

Tells Majny Things Completely unconscious of her multiple past ir. my life, Misj Hepburn told me a lot of things. About how she had been born or Irish-Duutch parents in Bel gium, and how she had started work at 13 to help pay for her ballet lessons. About how she had had to hide out from the Germans in Holland during the Second World War. About how thrilled she was lo have achieved stardom young, and wasn't at all bored with success. About the difficulty of enmhin. ing the twin careers of being an actress and wife, but that "if you keep the scales in balance, and remember your first job is to take proper care of your husband, it can work out happily certainly it has for us." About how she worked so hard she had few hobbies, "I'm afraid I'm pretty dull ... I like walk- , music . . . from Bach to Duke Ellington . . . and reading. Kipling is one of my favorite writers." Few Hobbies About how the only personal fear she had in this neurotic world was "that there may be another war, but who isn't afraid of thai?" She had lo leave then to keep a luncheon engagement.
