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

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

their interpretation In this coun
try. 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.
