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

"areas ridden with malaria de

part live in a degeneration of

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

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:

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-

Activities Committee will

fied member of the Communist
party."

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.

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

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

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. .
