Indian UN Expert
Says Nations Now
Extoll Own Virtues
If the nations of the world
each had more faith and humil
ity, and less national pride,
many of the world's problems
would be solved, according to
Dr. Surindar Suri, Indian schol
ar and political philosopher who
spoke last night in Medford
under the sponsorship of Med
ford chapter, Oregon United Na
tions association. A large audi
ence almost filled the Esquire
theater for the talk. .
Dr. Suri pointed out that it
has become the strange custom
for each nation to extoll its own
virtues and superiorities, while
'I endeavoring to belittle those of
other nations. If this could be
reversed, the results might be
amazing, he said.
Looking For India
"America was discovered, the
speaker reminded his audience,
because people of Europe were
hunting for an easy route to
India in the hope of enriching
their lives with the products and
resources of that country. "Let
xis each explore other coun
tries," the speaker suggested,
"a"nd thereby enrich our lives
with the literature, cultures,
customs, philosophies and arts
of other people."
Dr. Suri began his talk by
pointing out how family life,
once an autocratic unit domin
ated by the father, has become
democratized with each member
of the family having privileges
and responsibilities. He said this
same process of democratization
is taking place among the na
tions of the world, with small or
' weak nations no longer willing
to be dominated by larger and
stronger ones.
Process Has Problems
This process of democratiza
tion has brought a multitude of
- problems, he pointed out, but
took the philosopher's view
point that they would all be
solved in time. First step in
solving these is for each indi
vidual to understand himself,
then his own problems, and fi
nally the problems of other in
dividuals in other nations, he
declared.
The most important part of
this program, he said, was for
each person to understand him
self. Many Americans are trying
to do this, he added, and said
this is proven by the recent
great interest in adult educa
tion classes, particularly those
which aid the individual to
understand himself and ' the
family, as well as social and
political problems.
Success Brings Problems
If an individual in the United
States is successful, then he
is immediately "saddled with a
thousand responsibilities'' the
speaker pointed out. Then he
declared that this same rule was
working among nations, in the
world, and that because "Ameri
ca is successful" she is auto
matically being saddled with
the problems of the world.
The most successful individ
uals in America are those able
to bring about cooperation and
compromise with others, Dr.
Suri declared, and then went on
to make the same comparison
among nations, saying that
America would be successful in
solving the world's problems if
she could bring about compro
mise and cooperation, as well as
understanding. "Like the suc
cessful person, the United States
her leadership, he said.
. U. S. Had Role
The United States played the
leading role in organization of
the United Nations, he reminded
his audience, and said later "it
will be most ironic if the Unit
ed States fails in her leader
ship." Some sort of international
organization is necessary to pre
vent world chaos, Dr. Suri said,
and added that while the UN
has created some problems in
the world, it is also helping to
solve others.
Dr. Suri declared that "war is
really the lazy way out," and
that it is much harder to discuss
problems, attempt to under
stand the viewpoint of other na
tions and work out a just solu
tion for all.
"Cannot Slop History"
Dr. Suri stressed that "you
cannot stop history and went
on to say that the United Na
tions is the latest step cf history.
He prefaced this remark with
one to the effect that "it is a law
of life that hope is only for those
who have faith, and that with
out faith and vision, we will
perish."
During the question period
Dr. Suri discussed India, saying
that his nation has had to learn
for so many years they were
solved for her arbitrarily, and
she had lost the technique. He
spoke of India's democratic con
stitution, saying all adults have
the vote, all legal restraints
have been removed from the

He was refused.
"untouchables," and progress is
being made .in enterprise and in
dustrialization. Freedom of Religion
Asked about freedom of re
ligion, he said that it is guaran
teed under the constitution, and
that missionaries for the most
part are not restricted.
Questioned about Indian
"neutrality," Dr. Suri warned
against "labeling' a nation as
one or another and declared
that India tries to influence all
governments towards peace. He
specifically cited the present
Formosan situation, and said he
believes India is exercising a
useful pressure on China to keep
peace.
"Do not take words for deeds,"
said Dr. Suri, "for the nation
that shouts the loudest against
communism might turn out to
be the absent one when a crisis
arises."
Sees Solution
Commenting on the problem
of the representation of the
Chinese in the UN, Dr. Suri said
he thought this , problem would
be solved in the near future.
The speaker was introduced
by Bruce Manley, president of
the Medford UN chapter. He is
being accompanied on his south
ern Oregon speaking tour by
Robert J. Gridley, Portland,
field representative for the de
partment of state-wide services
of the Oregon State System of
Higher education.
Stopping of Korea Aggression Said
First Steps to IPeace Through Law
The great historical steps tak
en by the United Nations and
the United States in Korea to
stop communist aggression will
be recognized by future genera
tions as the first decisive move
toward eventual world govern
ment by law.
This view was expressed by
Dr. Surindar Suri, Indian schol
ar and member of the faculty
of the University of California,
in a luncheon address Tuesday
before the Medford Rotary club.
Dr. Suri spoke at the Jackson
hotel under the sponsorship of
the Medford chapter, Oregon
United Nations association.
Fointing out that the only al
ternative to some workable in
ternational world organization
is world-wide destruction, the
speaker reminded Rotarians that
universal desire for cooperation
between nations has followed
wars. It would be disasterous for
the United Nations to experience
the fate of the League of Nations
he declared.
Ten years of experience in ne
gotiating should become the
basis of improving and strength
ening this approach to peace, he
said, without the frightening ex
perience of another world con
flict to revive desire for inter
national understanding and co
operation. ,
Small nations naturally seek
such a world organization for
their own security and survival,
Dr. Suri pointed out, because
they enjoy the same freedoms
and consideration that larger na
tions do. On the other hand,
he added, great powers are in
clined to hestitate in accepting
the discipline and sacrifices at
tending membership in a world
organization. Military might is
often easier to use than long
and tedious negotiations, Dr.
Suri said.
The UN can't prevent prob
lems from arising. In fact it of
ten seeks to bring them up and
into the open, he explained, so
that an adequate solution might
be sought before they reach an
explosive stage.
The dispute between his own
country, India, and Pakistan
over Kashmir was cited as one
achievement of the UN. Al
though the tension remains,
fighting has stopped, Dr. Suri
said.
The fact that nations are now
interdependent in many ways is
evidenced by the need for in
ternational treaties, which have
long been effective in govern
ing trade, aviation, and martime
activities, radio and wireless and
meteorological informaton.
The speaker, who was former
ly associated with Harvard uni
versity and was a press corres
pondent at the United Nations,
was introduced by H. P. Bos
worth Jr., Rotary program chairman.
Russians Accept
Iowa Invitation
To Study Farming
Moscow U.R) Soviet offi
cials today accepted an invita
tion by the Des Moines Register
to send a delegation of agricul
ture experts to Iowa and invited
the Americans to send a group
here to study Soviet farming
methods.
The Soviet farmers' daily, Ag
riculture, replied to an editorial
in the Register on Feb. 10 say
ing such an exchange would be
beneficial to both nations, would
promote better understanding
and help ease international ten
sion. Visit Suggested
The original Register editorial
suggested Nikita S. Khrushchev,
head of the Russian Communist
party, send a delegation to Iowa
"to get the low-down on raising
high-quality cattle, hogs, sheep
and chickens." Khrushchev had
mentioned. American livestock
breeding in a recent speech.
Pravda, the ' official Commu
nist newspaper, - reprinted the
agriculture article in full today,
giving it a prominent position at
the top of page two.
In Washington, the State de
partment reserved judgment on
the Register's proposal and
spokesman Henry Suydam said,
"No official approach has been
made to us on this subject. Un
less and until it is, I cannot
comment . . . there is nothing
before us."
Father of 2 Admits
Slaying Quaker Coed
New York U.R) A hand
some, young father of two was
charged today with the mutila
tion murder of a Quaker coed
he had never seen before he
spotted her walking down a
Greenwich Village street and
followed her home.
The arrest of William Patrick
Farrell, 25, broke a case that
picked squads of police had been
working on since Feb. 6, the
morning the body; of Ann Yar
row was found in a tenement
apartment. The 23-year-old New
York university sociology stu
dent had been raped, strangled
and stabbed more than 40 times.
Farrell was arrested Tuesday
in a bullet-punctuated chase on
a charge of raping his sister-in-law
and robbing her and his father-in-law.
A quick - thinking
policeman linked him to the
Yarrow case.
Break Unexpected
The break was completely un
expected because police had
been working on the theory that
Miss Yarrow had been killed
by a boy friend. Farrel was a
complete stranger to her, inform
ed sources said.
Reports said Farrell noticed
the girl in the street and follow
ed her to the apartment without
any invitation. He broke in the
door, police said, and raped and
killed her.
After answering questions all
day and night, Farrell made a
statement which was not disclos
ed by authorities. Then early
this morning he was booked on
a homicide charge.
Police also charged him with
assault, robbery and rape of his
sister-in-law, 20-year-old Irene
Miller; assault and robbery of
his father-in-law; and assault
with a knife on a policeman.
He had gone Tuesday morning
to his sister-in-law's apartment.
He found the girl and her step
father, Charles Yessler, at home.
Police said he pulled a 12-inch
breadknife on them and robbed
Yessler.
He ordered Yessler from the
apartment. Brandishing the
knife, he then forced his sister-in-law
tp undress and get into
bed. Then, while the girl's two-year-old
son, Dwight Douglas,
watched he raped her.
Yessler meanwhile had gone
for the police and when they ar
rived Farrell jumped out a win
dow to a fire escape. A patrol
man fired a warning shot at him
and Farrell replied by throwing
the knife at the officer.
He was trapped in a century
old cemetery behind the apart
ment and surrendered.
