TWO MZSrOBD (OREGON) UN Policy Shifts From Police to Discussion, Expert Declares Here; Accomplishments Told The major change in the United Nations since it was founded 10 years ago is from a policy of police security to one of negotiation, Mrs. Ruth Gage Colby, a UN correspondent, told a group of local newsmen Fri day. , "More and more," she said, the United Nations is "depending up n negotiation rather than a police security force envisioned 10 years ago at San Francisco." Mrs. Gage-Colby is visiting in the Rogue Valley after attend ing the 10th anniversary of the ounding of United Nations. For 10 Years She has been connected with United Nations work during the 10 years, and has been with the press division of Transradio News agency during the past three years. She also is associ ate editor of World Community Reporter, a publication which coven world news with a "con structive approach." Mrs. Gage-Colby said one of her major campaigns would be to give constructive publicity to work being done by specialized agencies, such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organiza tion within the UN. She pointed out mass disease eradication pro grams and extensive agricultural programs receive more publicity in countries where such cam paigns are carried out than in this country. Cooperation Cited These organizations, Mrs. Gage-Colby said, follow the "law of life" which is cooperation. Many smaller member countries of the UN, she said, believe the Individual and the life of man are more Important than fear created by power. "Since health is happiness, it Is toward happiness and well being of the world's people that the United Nations steadily moves forward," Mrs. Gage-Colby said, and added that curing mass diseases Is "one of the ma jor goals of United Nations or ganizations.". Among the most notable pro grams of the World Health Or ganization, she said, is one which involves a vaccine, known only as BCG, against tuberculosis. "The varrin i nn hv which tn- berculosis will one day be eradi cated if present progress is main tained, " Mrs. Gage-Colby said. Sees TB End "Just as it is a disgracing thing in our time to allow small pox in a community," she said, "it will one day be si disgrace to allow tuberculosis." The vaccine has beed used widely through Europe since its initiation in Poland. "The great est experiment of all," she said, "is being conducted in India, where eventually 100,000,000 chidlren will be protected." The vaccine will be given 'to almost every child in India. "A similar campaign is being conducted against another major killer malaria," Mrs. Gage Colby said. Malaria, she added, is the most deabilitating disease in the world. "The people are incapable of working and living NEW FREEDOM rtOM THE LAXATIVE DRUG HAIIT it You probably know this about Kellogg's AH-Bran.

Double your money back if a daily dish of All-Bran and milk doesn't have you on schedule within 10 days. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Michigan. IS I MAIL TRIBUNE normal lives." She said, and "areas ridden with malaria de teriorate socially and econom ically. The peole for the most part live in a degeneration of poverty." Gratifying Results But gratifying results have come from vaccines and "great strides have been made toward ridding the world of its two ma jor diseases," she said. "The re sults not only show disease dis appearance, but the people are better , poverty disappears, people become ambitious and start seeking things every one should have in the 20th century." "Victory over disease is the first stage in reaching ultimate victory," Mrs. Gage-Colby be lieves. The fight against malaria, she exlained, began as a control program, but later developed in to a program of total eradica tion, and "nothing else will .suf fice because the malaria mos quito becomes immune ito mune j rtroy At chemicals used to destroy At. Russell To Push Plan For Reserves Despite Wilson's Objections By UNITED PRESS Chairman Richard B. Russell of the Senate Armed Services committee said Saturday he would not be deterred from pushing his voluntary military reserve plan despite opposition by Defense Secretary Cnaries E. Wilson. Under Russell's proposal vet erans "would not be forced to participate in the reserves. But they would be given a $400 bon us for volunteering for three years in the combat reserve of the Army and Marine Corps. Urges Acceptance In a letter to Russell, Wilson urged the committee to accept the administration plan of mak ing reserve service compulsory for all servicemen. He said the compulsory provision is neces sary to insure a "hard core" of experienced trained personnel needed for the reserves. But Russell said, "I think I have got the best plan." He said his mind is not closed on his plan and that he may withdraw it if defense officials can show that it would "cause a break down or be destructive of the reserve." The House already has' adopt ed in modified form the admini stration plan which requires a total of five years active and re serve duty for all servicemen. Other congressional news: Dixon-Yates: A special Senate monopoly subcommittee prepar ed to make public a report pre pared by investment banker Adolphe B. Wenzell on the Ten nessee Valley Authority while he was a government consultant. Democrats said it would show that Wenzell helped formulate President Eisenhower's public power policy. The report sug guested a Dixon-Yates-like ar rangement for supplementing TV A power production which the administration later adopted. Democrats have charged that at the same time Wenzell was ad vising the government, he was also advising the group behind the Dixon-Yates project. Highways: Rep. Tom Steed (D-Okla.) predicted the House Public Works Committee will approve a multi-billion dollar highway program to be financed in part by a penny hike in the gasoline tax and increased taxes on truck fuel and tires, and trucks, buses and trailers. A nine-man subcommittee recom mended the tax plan Friday as a substitute for President Eisen hower's proposal to finance the highway program through bonds. Defense Production: Sen. Homer E. Capehart, ranking Re publican on the Senate Banking Committee, said he will get the administration's views this week end on a proposal to limit the authority of government ."dol-lar-a-year" men. He wants to find out whether the proposal will hurt the defense production program. If so, he may try. to strike the limitation from a pending Senate bill to extend the Defense Production Act for two years. The proposal would forbid "dollar-a-year" men to hold major policy or administra tive posts except in time of war or national emergency: White: Rep. F. Edward He bert (D-La.) defended Brig. Gen. W. W. White's right to draw pay from an oil company for which he formerly worked. White is staff director of petroleum logis tics in the Defense Department. He told a House subcommittee Friday he is drawing money from Esso Export Corp. Hebert said this is perfectly legal. Delegates: A House judiciary subcommittee has voted to per mit former presidents to serve as non-voting "delegates" to the Senate.- Ex-Presidents would have all privileges en the floor Sunday. July 10. 19SS Similar campaigns are being conducted against other mass diseases, which can be "likened to an "enemy" in the death and destruction they leave , in their wake," she said, "so there can be no compromise with them." "Once disease is eradicated," Mrs. Gage-Colby said, '.'then the people turn to farming, and raise crops which will give them a more well balanced diet and better nutrition.". The Food and Agrioultural Organization of the United Na tions has been active in helping develop farming Hybrid vari eties have been introduced into areas to produce better quantity foods in greater quantities, she said. Because the people wish to work with what they have, specialists from the United Na tions work with crops in particu lar areas and use as much fer tilizer and other available means as possible within the area.. As few new foods as possible are introduced into areas by spe- but could not vote. ; Barry: The House Un-American Activities Committee will question Walter Barry of New York City next Wednesday about his alleged Communist activities. Last December, the committee described Barry, former associate editor of the March of Labor, as "an identi fied member of the Communist party." Mate Wanted Wife ( To -Change Appearance Los Angeles U.R) Arlene Fudge, 19, won an annulment from Melvin Fudge, 23, her hus band of five days, because he was too concerned about her. She said he not only insisted she support him, but demanded she submit to plastic surgery, have her teeth replaced with dentures and enroll in a school of corrective posture. auService l:30AA4.unttl5:OORM.

Specialists focus on developing present crops on varieties which are now less cultivated. Greater Killer "But the greater killer than all diseases is war," Mrs. Gage Colby declared, "and there is a growing conviction that war it self is a disease and itself must be eliminated. For as long as there is threat of war striking suddenly, there can be no real happiness or security for people. "War with nuclear weapons has become such a threat of mankind that many regard it as an enemy greater than all others," Mrs. Gage-Colby said. "Since it has come to the stage of threatening life itself," she said, "there can be no real peace." The conference on peaceful uses of atomic power, which will be held in Geneva in August, Mrs. Gage-Colby said, will open "a new era in world outlook." The meeting was instigated about two years ago when President Eisenhower gave his "Atoms For Peace" address at the United Nations. The meeting will be import ant, she said, because it will be a conference of scientific minds which developed nuclear power, and they will discuss diverting its uses to peaceful means. Majority Rule Tendency Mrs. Gage-Colby said there is more and more a tendency in the United Nations toward ma jority rule. She said there is a growing desire among nations for repre sentation in government a gov ernment which will give the people what they want. This was expressed . at the 10th anniver sary of the United Nations founding at San Francisco, she said, when Russia's Foreign Minister Molotov expressed a desire for a united Germany. Mrs. Gage-Colby said Molotov did not name a type of govern ment or a united Germany, but stressed a government selected by the people of both East and West Germany. "This is a good Indication, Mrs. Gage-Colby stated, "that the individual is becoming more and more important in the Unit ed Nations, and cooperation is desired among the nations. WE DO i r '!'

(International) Salem Man Jailed, Convicted Within Four-Hour Period Reno, Nev. (U.R Some sort of a record for swift justice was set Friday with the arrest and sentencing of 28-year-old Charles Edward Jackson of Salem, Ore., oil armed, robbery charges'. Jackson,' a barber, was sen tenced to not less than five years in the Nevada State Prison only four hours after his arrest by police. f He confessed robbing a cashier at the Granada Theater of $175 at gunpoint and of taking $15 from four 'women who were playing cards in an apartment. Both holdups occurred earlier in the week. Threatened Cashier He was arrested at 1 p.m. Fri day after he placed a series of threatening calls to the theater cashier, Miss Linda McCloud, demanding money from her to get out of town. An ex-convict with four prior convictions for armed robbery, grand larceny and forging gov ernment securities, Jackson con fessed both robberies. He waived preliminary hear ing in Justice Court and shortly before S p.m. pleaded guilty to armed robbery charges and was sentenced by District Judge Gordon Rice. IVU3.. NOT SERVE Oregon Congressmen At Halfway Mark in Fight for NW Dams BY A. ROBERT SMITH ! Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington (Special) Ore gon's three Democratic members of, Congress have reached the halfway mark in their campaign to obtain appropriations for new federal dams in the Pacific Northwest and to undercut the argument of some Republicans that Congress is unwilling to fi nance any more government dams in the region. For Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard L. Neuberger and Rep. Edith Green, Senate approval this week of funds to start con struction of three new hydro electric dams Cougar and Hills Creek near Eugene in the Wil lamette basin and Ice Harbor dam near Walla Walla on the lower Snake River was a major victory in the controversial field of electric power policy to which they have given first priority m this Congress. Whether they will be able to nail down their initial victory depends on the attitude of the House, which earlier this session passed a public works money bill that failed to include these three new federal projects. Rep resentatives of both House and Senate must now reach a com promise on which, projects , are to be allowed funds for the fiscal year that began July 1. (The House defeated the Talent proj ect proposal only.) In a preliminary statement of jubilation, Morse and Neuber ger joined to say that approval of funds for new dams is "in di rect contradiction to . the advo cates of so-called 'partnership' that the Congress will not appro priate funds for public power projects." They added: - "The new power starts ad vanced at Ice Harbor, Cougar and Hills Creek completely re fute the current Republican propaganda and provides the only answer to our power needs." x It was indicated that this was the answer of the Oregon Demo crats to the Republican dedica tion speeches of last month at Lookout Point dam near Eu gene. Main speakers were Assist ant Secretary of Army George H. Roderick and Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore.), both of whom told the audience that the best way to develop additional dams ROiLER INING AREA RATER ROOM CHILDREN S- SERVlCE ALCOHOLIC in the area was by means of the administration's "partnership" tjolicv of allowing local utilities to share the cost and control oi the power facilities of the proj ects. Ellsworth stressed that his own bill for "partnership" con struction of Cougar and Green Peter dams is the answer to the problem of getting more federal money for Oregon river develop ment. Under that measure, i-u- eene Water and Electric Board would put ud $11 million of the estimated S37 million cost ox Cougar dam in return for the power output; and Pacific Pow er and Light Co. would advance $30 million of the estimated "3H million cost of Green Peter. The government would Day the re maining cost of each dam. The Democrats, however, are driving to get federal funds this year to start construction of Cougar dam as an all-govern ment undertaking and if the House goes along with the $500, 000 approved by the Senate to start Cougar dam this year, that project will be started as a fed eral dam just like Lookout Point, Detroit and other flood control and cower projects in the Willamette basin. Whether the Cougar project would be completed as an all- federal dam would depend on what happens ' to Ellsworth s bill. So far it has been cleared by a House public works sub committee, but last week the full committee refused tem porarily at least to send the bill on its way to the House for full debate. Committee aides said no vote was taken against the meas ure, but by general agreement it was passed over. . , Neuberger and Morse figure to stop the bill in the Senate if ' O Rough with Green Pine Slabs , Select Quality -12" or 16" O Heaping Double Load...: $7.50 MEDFORD FUEL CO.

Both sides have a good bit at stake in what Congress at large does on these conflicting pro posals in the next four weeks before the summer adjournment sends the lawmakers home until next January.
