Just leave fhe loot we're above it all I' No business or community, big or small, is safe from pressures of integration Washingtoa Merry-go-round feief.4liX Jefferson Wilderness Area proposals meet many of the present objections By United Press International It has become increasingly evi dent during this "summer of de cision" on the racial front that no business or community, large or small, is safe from integra tion pressures. Some have moved voluntarily to drop all racial barriers. Others resist. Atlanta restaurant owner Stan ley R. Davis, who simply wants to please his customers and stay In business, had this to say about the situation. "When I operated my restuar ants on a segregated policy, I was the target of integrationist pressure and propaganda," Davis said in a memo entitled "For Bet ter Understanding" which he placed on the tables of his eating places. Davis lamented that when he went along with other Atlanta restaurants and desegregated two of his places on an experimental basis, "the segregationist forces were not long in inaugurating a program of harrassment" "I find myself in the middle of a controversy for which there appears no immediate solution," he said. "I am a restaurant oper ator and not a social agitator. Now that the (racial) issue has been joined, I can only solicit Next week is 'Aloha Week' for 16 Oregon lawmakers your symalhtic understanding." Stepping Stones One thing appears certain: From here on, Negroes will use one victory as a stepping stone to others. This week the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the nation's largest landlord, announced it will desegregate the 34,170 apartment projects it controls in the United States. Negro leaders have now an nounced a move to bring about similar desegregation of facilities owned or controlled by the Pru dential Insurance Company and the New York Life Insurance Company. They finance thousands of apartment projects throughout the nation. Roy Wilkins, executive vice president of the NAACP, called the Metropolitan agreement "a major breakthrough." He said it was part of a general movo In similar firms. It obviously was also part of the fulfillment of an NAACP slogan of three years ago "Everybody Free by Sixty three." A Metropolitan spokesman said the huge firm is prepared to "go down the line" on its new policy. "If a Negro Is a qualified ten najit and there is a vacancy, for him, he will be given an apart ment whether It Is In Alexandria, Va., at Parchester In The Bronx or anywhere else." Averts Picketing The company's decision, ac cording to a spokesman, was worked out "harmoniously" dur ing a month of study at the firm. It averted threats by the NAACP Youth Council to picket three Metropolitan projects Park Chester, Peter Cooper Village, and Stuyvesant Town, which also are in New York. Negroes also are winning a ma jor breakthrough in the advertis ing industry. Lever Brothers, a soap products manufacturer which is one of the nation's biggest advertisers, an nounced recently it has asked all its agencies to produce sugges tions for more effective use of Negroes and other minority groups in the firm's advertising. The trade publication. Advertis ing Age, listed Lever's advertis ing program last year at $46 mil lion. The publication said the first Lever Brothers television com mercial to appear under the new policy likely will be an advertise ment for a detergent (All) show ing a Negro housewife being in terviewed about her laundry problems. "Multiple use" has become a good phrase, as differentiated from a bad phrase. It sounds good to most persons. It's like "liberal," which sounds good, too, even though many persons are unaware of the mean ing. Multiple use, to many, indicates that everyone can get along to gether, each using what he needs from public lands, and leaving other values for the use of his neighbors. But, one thing is generally for gotten. That is that it is impossible to practice multiple use on each single acre. You cannot, on one acre, log, graze, mine, picnic, preserve watersheds, and save a wilderness. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the recent order of the U.S Forest Service in setting up the new Mt. Jefferson Wild Area. Nearly 100,000 acres, largely from the old Mt. Jefferson Primitive Area, made up the new administrative unit. The area str-' 'ics from Breitenbush Lake on f.-.o north to near the San tiam h iway on the south. The old area bus been enlarged by about 10,000 acres. Access to the new area from this side of the Cascades Is general ly good, and will not be greatly hurt or helped by the new boundaries. A couple of roads could use some work, but don't need a great deal. Lakes are popular jumping-off places for wilderness types, and there is & scarcity of large lakes along this boundary. Most of the usage of the old area was from persons who came up the North Santiam from the Salem area. This is almost certain to be true in the new unit, too. This is natural; there are more people on that side of the mountains. As a result, the largest beef over the new boundaries is likely to come from those persons familiar with the Marion Lake area. The lake is a pretty one, and it. is big by high Cascade standards. It is now on the edge of the primitive area, but the road ends about two miles from the edge of the water. That two miles is traversed by people on foot, by a number of snorting little gas bug gies, and the lake is dotted with boats packed into its shores by var ious means., Nature types would like to out law all mechanical vehicles around the lake. Some would even go so far as te keep horses out, horses which by some strange twist, of rea soning have become mechanical devices to various persons. Persons who presently ride their little ve hicles up the trail resent this ap proach. The Forest Service plan leaves this area out In the cold, its final disposition up to local USFS supervisory personnel. Reading the plan, it is obvious that this one small area will be the cause of more fuss than the rest of the area put together. The Forest Service should settle the matter once and for all before it goes through the final steps of setting up the new wild area. By Zan Stark UPI Staff W. tor SALEM (UPI) -Next week is "Aloha Week" for 16 Oregon leg islators, two state officials, and several wives. The occasion is the meeting in Honolulu of the National Legisla tive Conference, Aug. 19-23. At the same time and place the Inter state Cooperaton Commission will hold its annual meeting. Many of the Oregonians attend ing the meetings may travel, eat and be housed at state expense during the week of the confer ences. The state will not pay the wives' expenses. Nor will the state pay expenses incurred by dele gates who arrive early, or delay their departure for vacations. Attending the national legislative conference will be Senate Presi dent Ben Musa, D-The Dalles, Sen. Glenn Huston, D-Lebanon; Sen. Dwight Hopkins, D-Imbler; House Speaker Clarence Barton, D-Coquille: Rep. William Horn strom, D-Gearhart; Rep. W. O. Kelsay, D-Roseburg, and Rep. W. S. Ouderkirk. R-Newport. Attending the Interstate Cooper ation Commission sessions will be Senate Minority Leader Anthony Yturri, R-Ontario; Sen. Al Flegel, D-Roseburg: Rep. Ed Whelan, D Portland; Rep. Berkeley Lgnt, D Portland; Rep. George Flitcraft, R-Klamath Falls, and Vern Hill, director of the Department of Mo tor Vehicles. Representing the Legislative Counsel Committee will be Sen. Donald Husband, R-Eugcne, and Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, D Portland. Rep. Robert Smith, R- Burns, will represent the Legislative In terim Committee on Highways. The Legislative Fiscal Commit tee is sending fiscal officer Ken neth Bragg. One reason for the large Oregon delegation is that Portland is courting the conference for 1965. Next year the conference will be rotated to somewhere in the east ern part of the country. Also, the total delegation 18 official representatives seems ex tra large because both the Legis lative Conference and the Inter state Cooperation Commission are meeting at the same place at the same time. The two groups do not always meet together. Nevertheless, Mahoney's partici pation came as a surprise to many. During the recent legisla tive' session Mahoney was ex tremely critical of interim com mittees. He said they did little, if any good. Mahoney also screened the trav el allowance of every state agency and department as the various budgets came before the Senate for approval. He refused to ap prove budgets which had what he considered an unnecessarily large travel allotment. Mahoney told UPI "I'm going at my own expense. I told Musa some time ago I wouldn't bill the state for my trip, and in fact I have booked passage back on a Matson liner. "I dont think this is a junket because the Portland chamber is pushing so hard to get the con vention in 1965, and they need con ventions. "But I'm not an idiot I still question the good of these trips, and I'm paying my own way. I was going to announce that after the trip," he added. The lament The Oregon Statesman com ments upon the sale of the McCloud River Lumber Company to U. S. Plywood, but some of its assump tions are in error. The newspaper feels this is another example of a 'locally owned" operation being gobbled up by the big operators in the forest products industry. This is not so. McCloud River was not locally owned. Like Brooks Scanlon and Shevlin-Hixon in Bend, It was started by upper Midwest operators looking for a new timber base. Jobs, industrial production show continued increase The Statesman's complaint that Oregon and its neighbors are be coming economic coloiies is not ex actly correct. We have always been economic colonies. What is happen ing is that the pattern of coloniza tion Is changing. Instead of small corporations, owned or controlled by one or two families, we are becom ing economic vassals of large out fits, controlled in large measure by the financial institutions which lend the necessary money, with divi dends being paid all over the United States. To save some public money District attorneys in Wasco and Hood River counties have just adopted a program which will save a few dollars of the public's money. The two men have made arrange ments to be deputies for each other. This system ought to work well for any counties in which the county seats are located relatively near the seats of adjoining counties like Crook, Deschutes, and Jeffer son. District attorneys are like other people. They don't always stay at home. Since they don't there are times when a district attorney Is needed and be is not in the county. Sporadically, each small county then appoints a part-time deputy for a part-time district attorney. Having the district attorneys of Crook and Jefferson counties serve as deputies in Deschutes, for exam ple, would pretty well guarantee someone would be on hand when needed. And the DA from Deschutes county could serve part-time, when needed, in Crook and Jefferson. It might save the expenditure of some public funds. That is, if any one is Interested in saving public money.

WASHINGTON (UPI) Two basic indicators of U.S. economic health showed improvement to day with government reports that employment and industrial pro duction continued to increase in July. The Federal Reserve Board Thursday said that industrial production had risen one per cent over the June figure despite a 5 per cent decline in iron and steel manufacturing in July. Prelimin ary figures for August, the board said, indicate a further drop in steel output. Employment outside of farm workers also continued its six month increase during July, with a 56.6 million persons holding Jobs, the Labor Department re ported Thursday. Unemployment remained about the same, Robert J. Stein, chief of the department's Division of Employment and Unemploy ment Analysis said, chiefly be cause the labor force Increased at about the same rate as new jobs became available.

This may have been a reflec tion of steel and iron decrease and the 4 per cent drop in auto assemblies which the board reported. The factory work week for pro duction workers dropped two tenths of an hour to 40.6 hours in .July, and was accompanied by a slight dip in the average weekly earnings of factory production workers from an all-time high of $100.37 in June to $98.88 in July.

Perez Jimenez has left his mark on Caracas By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Writer Whatever the rascalities of one time Venezuelan dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez, the plump and pompous former army colonel left his mark upon Caracas and upon its people. It has been nearly five years since he gathered his family about him and fled to the Dom inican Republic in the face of the same sort of violent revolution by which he himself had risen to power. But in Caracas the people still refer to him familiarly as "P.J." " 'P.J.' built it," one may re mark. And the reference might be to the broad highway which sweeps up to Caracas from Maiquetia Airport, or to the magnificent modernistic buildings of the Uni versity of Caracas. Vertical Slums Or it might be to the gaudy, skyscraper apartment buildings which "P.J." built as a slum clearance project but which quickly became merely vertical slums under conditions of anar chy worse than that from which its inhabitants came. Ironically, that district meant to be a monument to Perez Jim enez today is called "January 23rd," commemorating the date of his fall. "P.J." left Venezuela $400 mil Ion in debt despite its oil riches which pour $3 million a day into a country whose population is only about six million. And beyond the monuments of stone and steel which Perez Jim enez left behind, few of these six million had benefitted. But besides the hatred which he also left behind, one may also detect a note of grudging admira tion in those references to "P.J." For in many a Latin American nation the successful swindler is regarded as no great criminal. Former Argentine dictator Juan D. Peron retained millions of followers despite looting his coun try of amounts whose estimates run as high as $600 million. A one-time Cuban minister of education made off with $172 mil lion and aroused no great indigna tion. U.S. Swindlers Travel Freely In Rio de Janeiro, U.S. citizens urgently wanted by Uncle Sam to answer for a fast shuffle with the dollars of American investors travel freely in the best cafe so ciety. Perez Jimenez himself was the first such former high - ranking figure permitted to be extradited from the United States. Other guests have included Fulgencio Batista of Cuba and various members of the Trujillo family of the Dominican Republic. Graham opens L A. crusade LOS ANGELES IUPP Nearly 40,000 persons turned out Thurs day night for the opening of evan gelist Billy Graham's 23-day cru sade here. He pinpointed this city as a potential leader of a "great spiritual awakening" in the Unit ed States. Graham told the crowd that the entire human race has a sword of Damocles hanging by a hair over its head. "Sooner or later." he said, "a crisis far worse than Cuba will put us all to sterner tests than Americans have ever endured. "The racial crisis in America is petting worse. Our debts are getting biecer. In foreign affairs, we are facing the awesome and growing power of Communist By Drew Pearson ISTANBUL If you want to see what cold war tensions mean and how one false move could plunge the world into war, take a look at the intricate defense sys tem the United States has built up with its allies, Turkey and Greece, in this southern wing of NATO. This is an area, not 90 miles from Communist territory as Cu ba is from the United States, but only a few feet away. Along Greek and Turkish borders to the west. Communist Bulgaria is sep arated by only a few strands of rusty barbed wire. Between Tur key and Soviet Armenia to the east, there is more rusty barbed wire. To this crucial territory a squad ron of fighter bombers flies non stop from Langley Field, Virginia, every ninety days. The pilots don't know in advance who is going to make the flight. They are picked by surprise from crews already on the alert. They fuel three times in the air over Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain and then take up their vigil not far from the. Soviet Bulgarian borders. They are equipped with atomic weapons, and have pre-arranged targets deep inside Russia. For four hours every day they sit in their cockpits, always ready to take off. When one pilot has sat for four hours, another takes his place. But night and day, these fighter bombers are on the alert. Simultaneously, Greek and Tur kish planes are also on the alert. They are not equipped with nuclear weapons but can be in a few minutes. "President Kennedy is hipped on preventing any accidental war," explained one NATO offic ial in a matter of fact way. Accidental War It requires two men to install the bombs in the planes, and each must receive separate coded mes sages. A third officer carries the nuclear weapons to the planes. There was a time when nuclear weapons were so complicated that it took some time to put them to gether and there was less likeli hood that some madman could touch off war. But today wea pons have become so refined and simple that three men, acting on three separate orders, have the separate responsibility for nu clear war. This ever-ready-for-war status may seem alarming to civilians, but this part of the world has been living on the edge of possible war so long that it has become Cohen reported as satisfactory ATLANTA (UPI) California racketeer Mickey Cohen, club bed unconscious by a fellow in mate at the Atlanta federal pri son Wednesday, spent a good night and was reported in satis factory condition today. Cohen, 49, whose skull was fractured by three blows from a length of pipe, was reported "mentally clear." An operation to relieve the pressure on his brain was performed Wednesday after the incident. Berl Estes McDonald, 32. a forger from St. Stephen, SC., was charged with attacking the former gambling king pin in the prison's radio-television repair shop. Authorities said the attack was the result of a personal quarrel between the two men and had no gangland overtones. DEAN INDICTED KLAMATH FALL (UPD-Wes-ley Dpan, 57, Klamath Falls has been indicted by a county grand jury on a second degree murder. The indictment was brought Thursday in connection with the fatal stabbing of Dean's brother, Hagan, 37, July 8. blase. Furthermore, Near East leaders have considered these ten sions an asset; for the cold war makes it easier to get foreign aid dollars from the U.S. Congress. Thus when I came to Turkey shortly after Eisenhower's Camp David talks with Khrushchev which eased the cold war, Tur kish officials were concerned over what would happen to their for eign aid funds. But this week when I asked Pre mier Ismet Inonu what he thought of the test ban treaty, he replied: "I am happy that there is better understanding between the Waited States and Russia. The treaty is hopeful and useful." I reminded the Prime Minister that Turkish leaders in 1959 had expressed concern over the eas ing of cold war tensions, but he struck to his position. "As far as my own administra tion is concerned, we do not be lieve the world should live on ten sion." Coming from the leader of a country which has lived in the feared shadow of the Russian bear for several centuries, this is sig nificant. Area caught in backwash of bias issue By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer The backwash of the integra tion floodtide sometimes inun dates communities almost by sur prise and uproots people who were neither ready for nor inter ested in tackling the problem. Such a community is Franklin County, Tenn., an a r e a sand wiched between the Industrial centers of Chattanooga on the east and Tullahoma on the west. It is part rural farmland and part bedroom for the nearby plant of the Arnold Engineering Center at Tullahoma where wind tunnel ex periments are conducted. Franklin County un'.il recently seemed far removed from the in tegration crisis except for activ ity at the University of the South, an Episcopal school at Suwanee. As for public school facilities, Negroes appeared to be satisfied with their high school and were making no effort to put their chil dren into the two white public high schools in the county. In July, however, an integra tion suit was filed against the county school board. Plaintiffs were four Negroes and four white persons, all residents at or near the University of the South. This week, the school board an swered the suit. The board de nied that segregation Is compul sory in Franklin County and em phasized that schools are segre gated "by apparent choice" of parents and students of both races. Tie board said that no rights or privileges had been de nied any student. The board pointed out that there has never been a case of a Negro child applying for ad mission to a specific school who was denied enrollment. If the federal court hearing the Franklin suit follows customary practice, it will not consider the case until "administrative reme dies" have been exhausted. In this case, the first step would be to present a child for admission to on of the white schools. The applicant would need to go through all the steps of admis sion procedure that are used on all other children in the county. On the surface, the Franklin County case is an isolated inci dent. Actually, it appears to bo an offshoot example of the grow ing militancy among religious groups on behalf of the overall integration struggle.
