1HH K' m v TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) United Nations Discussed By Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt yesterday discussed the United Nations at a reception and cof fee hour given in her honor by the Medford chapter, Oregon United Nations association, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C Rease Braley, 245 Valley View drive. Mrs. Roosevelt, who came to Medford as speaker and guest of honor at the sixth an nual Roosevelt Memorial dinner held Monday night at Hedrick school, also chose the United Nations as her topic for the din ner. Mrs. Roosevelt, formerly the United States representative to the General Assembly of the United Nations, is now chair man of the board of governors of the American Association of the United Nations and spends 3 major share of her time speak ing in the interests of the as sociation. Lawrence Solin, president of the Medford chapter, welcomed Mrs. Roosevelt and presented her a check for $100 from the chapter to use for UN work. Mrs. Roosevelt addressed the group informally, and later an swered questions. She said UN chapter members should en deavor to spread correct infor mation about the United Nations, its aims and purposes, and par ticularly about the specialized agencies. Mrs. Roosevolt pointed out these agencies have done much to free nations from diseases such as malaria and to raise their health standards in gen eral, to provide technical assist ance, to further general educa tion and to increase food pro duction. The speaker pointed out that when considered from a practi cal rather than altruistic stand point, these endeavors are a tound investment as far as the United States is concerned, rather than aid which is being provided merely for the good of foreign nations. She urged every member of United Nations' groups to visit UN agency headquarters when ever possible, pointing out that these can be found in Rome, Paris and other rge cities of NEW, MODERN VAULT Cleaning, Gluing, Remodeling Frances' Fars Formerly Frances Dallaira 1100 Crater Lake Ave. Telephone Remains 2-6526 S f- ye mm YOUR CHARGE ACCOUNT INVITED iBIIII '"r" ' BURELSON'S The House of Finer Shoes MAIL TRIBUNE the world, and help to inform the general public of their func tion. Mrs. Ro-jsevelt said that when she made arrangements through the United States em bassy in Rome to visit the head quarters of the Food and Agri culture agency there she found that she was the first American ever to make such a request. Budget Discussed During the question period she discussed the budget for technical assistance, pointing out that this is on a voluntary basis from the various member nations. Mrs.. Roosevelt added that she remembered with re gret that this nation always op poses increases in these budgets. Asked if we used our aid to bring about action on certain in ternational matters, Mrs. Roose velt admitted that this does hap pen at times and added that when she was serving actively with the UN headquarters, she encouraged staff members to achieve their results -hrough ex planation, persuasion and con sultation rather than "arm twist ing." There was discussion of the educational films available to sll the story of the various agencies, and she urged groups to obtain and use these. Tele vising of UN proceedings was discussed and Mrs. Roosevelt said many nations believe this to be undignified. She said if UN association members believ ed this would be helpful, they should register their opinions with the proper authorities. Repeating a statement made the evening before at the dinner meeting, Mrs. Roosevelt said she believed it was good to have the Soviet Union and satellites within the UN structure since then the opposing nations could determine the communistic cur rents and trends and be better prepared to fight these. She further pointed out that the com munist countries were made aware of the power of the forces which opposed them,, and were thereby deterred from further action. Before the reception Mrs. Roosevelt was interviewed dur ing a press conference held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward C. Kelly, 906 West Fourth street, where she had been an overnight guest. . Asked about the presidential candidacy of Adlai Stevenson,. Mrs. Roosevelt said she had sup ported him before and was do ing so again. She said Mr. Stev enson has a deep understanding of international problems, and that his mind is sensitive to re actions among foreign leaders which could prove beneficial or detrimental, depending upon it's a soft life in cloudhoppers They make you feel you're walking m fluff (small wonder they're ctishioned with airy foam insoles I . o Hidden eJostkiAatg makes (or perfect fit wfaihcr yomr instep is kagh or low.

She answered a question about desegregation, saying "every citizen should be treated with equality and justice, and if they are not, we are not living up to our democratic ideals." She said desegregation is not merely a national, but an international issue since the most critical areas of unrest in the world are among the non-white races. Mrs. Roosevelt said that friendship for this country had been on the decline abroad for some time past because of the "unwise" actions by leaders of the United States. She listed as one of these the giving of arms to Pakistan without realiz ing the adverse reaction it would have in India. Talks About Dogs For the benefit of young re porters representing school papers, Mrs. Roosevelt talked at some length about the pet dogs which have been a part of the Roosevelt household in past years, and said she now has a "Scotty," the scotch terrier hav ing long been a favorite with the late President Roosevelt. Asked how a young person should go about choosing a po litical party, Mrs. Roosevelt said they should study the records of both parties and then make a choice. She said such a study would show that the Democratic party has been responsible for more social legislation for the general good of the people than the Republican party, and that the most of this legislation had never been rescinded by the Re publicans. Mrs. Roosevelt was asked about the Bricker amendment, which is still "active" though once defeated and answered that this amendment, which would make it impossible for. the ex ecutive to make treaties with foreign countries without first getting the consent of congress, was bad legislation. Mrs. Roose velt further said that although the amendment had Deen de feated, in a sense Senator Brick er, its author, had been suc cessful in that he had aroused sentiment against treaties to such an extent that it had been virtually impossible to negotiate one since. The Kelly living room repre sented an interesting sight dur ing the press . conference. The floor was covered with lengths of electric cord for the operation of a movie sound camera and tape recorders, powerful lights were set up and three news cameramen were taking pictures. Several reporters also made notes. Mrs. Roosevelt left before ss ss SSI ss ss ss ss )) ss $7.95 Classic Slep-In ( vA A' f I ' f If Y - b j.y i U 2 try 1flWi"1in Fashion "must" for Half Sizers!
