U.N.-Suez Negotiations Tops Foreign 'Good News' of Week By CHARLES M. McCANN United Preif Correspondent The welc' good and bad mwi on the international bal ance ihect: Suez Negotiations on the Suez Canal riisrmte centered at United Nations head quarters in New York City. The 11-na-tion Security Council, ex ecutive com mittee of the U.N.. held a series of pub- Ckvm Uconn 11c ' ana mici meetings on the grave situation caused by Egypt's attempt to seize sole control of the canal. More important, however. were a series of talKs ty tne foreign minister of the three countries which are the major parties in the dispute Great Britain, France and Egypt. British Foreign Minister Sel wyn Floyd, French Foreign Min ister Christian Pineau and Egyp tian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi held their meetings in the office of U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. It was conceded that there was no possibility that the Se curity Council itself could take any effective action. Russia would veto any resolution aimed against Egypt. But it was a major accomplish ment for the council to bring to gether, for the first time, repre sentatives of Britain, France and Egypt in intimate meetings where they could talk frankly In The Day's News y jwn. CA1IKU IHLMiS IUU uun i. Brash new world note: Low-priced THIMBLE-SIZED radio receivers to be WORN IN THE EAR are on the way and are expected to be on the market soon. You'll screw the jigger in to your ear and go around all day LISTENING. I think we hear too much al ready especially trash. It keeps us on edge and upsets us. MORE brash new world: The first electrified port able typewriter is just coming onto the market. It weighs about 19 pounds and is supposed to have all the advantages of an el ectric office typewriter. What are the advantages of an electric office typewriter? Well, you don't have to PUSH so hard on the keys. I'M SO old-fashioned as to think that maybe if we were willing to push HARDER we'd get far ther in the world. The easier it gets to do things the less we seem to want to do. SHUCKS! Let's get back to politics. This brash new world scares me. TN A CAMPAIGN speech which was broadcast nation-wide by radio and television. President Eisenhower accused the Demo crats of practicing what he call ed "political irresponsibility at its worst." What is "political irresponsi bility at its worst?" Personally. I think it is ADVO- BELIEVE. I DON'T think Mr. Stevenson believes the tommyrot he is peddling including retiring ev erybody on a pension that would enable him to live ON THE SCALE TO WHICH HE HAS BECOME ACCUSTOMED. That would involve pensioning the operating heads of our great business corporations off at a quarter to a half million dollars a year. I think he has embraced the cynical political philosophy of PROMISE 'EM ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED after you're safely elected you can do as you please. SUPPOSE ycu are hiring a man for an important job. If he tells you one thing when he is applying for the job and does the opposite after he gets it, you fire him and got somebody you can believe. Why not apply the same prin ciple to hiring Presidents? TKE IS RUNNING on his record. Adlai is running on prom ises. He is promising everybody the world all tied up in a pink ribbon. Ike speaks of the PER FORMANCE of his administra tion and promises only more of the same. Remember the fable of the doe and the bone? The dog tried to get two bones and lost the bone he had. Lets' not do that. to each other. What Lloyd, Pineau and Fawzi were trying to do was to find a basis, on which negotia tions to settle the dispute could be held later, possibly in Geneva. Switzerland, by an international committee. Poznan A Polish Communist court gave amazingly light sentences to three youths one 20 years old, the other two 18 accused of murdering a member of the secret police in the June 28 riots in Poznan. The defendants could have been sentenced to deatlj. In stead, the oldest one was given a term of 4' 2 years in prison. The other two were given four year terms. The reason for the leniency was clear: Poland, most import ant of the Soviet satellite coun tries, was stirring with unrest. The Communist government feared that harsh sentences would bring riotous protests. Tilo The situation in Poland stem med from the retreat of Soviet Russia's rulers from Stalin-type dictatorship and the consequent loosening of Moscow s grip on the satellite governments. This retreat has resulted also in the remarkable strengthening of the prestige of President Tito of Yugoslavia, who rebelled against Stalin's domination in 1948. Tito's new position as a recog nized power in the Communist world, co-equal with any man in the Kremlin, was emphasized this week when Communist party delegations from all over Europe started pilgrimages to Belgrade to consult him. Palestine Israeli and Jordanian forces fought for 8'4 hours on a 12- mile front in the most serious incident since the end of the Palestine war in 1948. the battle resulted from an invasion of Jordan by the Is raelis. The Israeli government said the attack was made in retaliation for incursions of Jor danian guerrillas across the frontier. Mental Health Group Gets Good Response From Questionnaires Friday, October 12, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE riVE Response of several profes sional groups contacted for an opinion of the need for help in family counseling has been good thus far, according to officials of the Jackson county mental health committee. Committee members said the group with the greatest response thus far is in social work with 90 per cent of the workers in 11 social agencies returning ques tionnaires. More than 50 per cent of those returning the questionnaires noted a need for help in marital discord, disturbed parent-child relationships, money manage ment and work adjustments, the committee said. Moderate need was seen for counseling the phy sical handicapped to accept nor mal responsibilities and helping young adults to make satisfact ory work and social adjustments. Attorneys Respond The committee said that with in three days after attorneys re ceived questionnaires there was a 55 per cent response. Opinion from attorneys varied considerably, the group report ed. One saw no need for such help in the area, and two felt unqualified ,to give an opinion, while 75 per cent of those re turning questionnaires saw a need for marital counseling. About 70 per cent of the legal group also saw a moderate to great need for help to mothers who need employment and child care services in families where fathers are absent. The committee said attorneys indicated a moderate to great need for counseling about dis turbed family relationship by 55 per cent of the group. The clergy, schools, law en forcement officials and medical groups also are being asked for opinions about need based on their experiences in working with families, the committee re ported. Results Reviewed Results of the questionnaires will be reviewed by a subcom mittee or the mental health com mittee before presenting them to the full committee at the next meeting. Committee members said resi dents interested in the survey may attend the meeting, which will be held in the courthouse annex at noon Thursday, Oct. 23 Democrats Continue To Hold Alaska Lead Juneau, Alaska U.R) Demo crats held leads in 31 of 39 terri torial legislative races today with scattered returns from out lying districts still to be counted Alaskans also apparently will be presented with an all Demo cratic delegation to Congress to press for statehood. William A. Egan, Valdez Dem ocrat, had captured one token "Senate" seat and Ralph Rivers, Fairbanks Democrat, had been elected to the unofficial seat in the House of Representatives. The race for the other "sena torial" seat was still a close one with former Gov. Ernest Gruen ing, a Democrat, holding a slight edge oyer Republican John But rovich of Fairbanks. Democrats captured 21 of 24 House seats in the territorial house and, with the help of ! seven holdover Democrats. I maintained an 11-5 lead in the ' Senate. Columbus Saw America As Land of Prosperity Cambridge, Mass. (U.R) Some five centures ago, Chris topher Columbus envisioned America as a land of prosper ity "surpassing human belief." This prediction is found in Harvard's rare book library in a copy of one of the first letters Columbus wrote after his 1492 discovery of the "In dian islands." One of these islands he found "so large, without any apparent end, that I believe it was not an island, but a continent." "On the 33rd day after leav ing Cadiz I came into the In dian sea where I discovered many islands inhabited by nu- California wine labeling regu lations require wines bearing a varietal name, such as Zinfandel or Riesling, to consist of at least 51 per cent of the juice of that I grape. m e r o u s people," Columbus wrote. "I took possession of all of them for our most for tunate king by making public proclamation and unfurling his standard, no one making any resistance." This first governor of Amer ica described the land as "full of the greatest variety of trees reaching to the stars." In the contract he signed April 17, 1492, with the Spanish mon archs, Ferdinand and Isabella, he received titles of viceroy and governor over the lands he discovered. Describing the people, whom he called Indians, Co lumbus said "they are by na ture timid and fearful. "But when they see they are safe and all fear is banished, they are very guileless and honest, and very liberal of all they have," Columbus wrote.

Demands Russia Pay for Lost Plane Washington U.R) The Unit ed States demanded today that Russia pay $1,355,650.32 dam ages for destruction of an Amer ican plane over the Sea of Japan more than two years ago. The demand was submitted to the Soviet Ministry of For eign Affairs in Moscow by the American embassy there. The U.S. and Russia have been arguing over responsibility for the incident ever since the plane a Navy P2V Neptune was destroyed on Sept. 4, 1954.
