13 Oregonians Oppose Colonialism By U.S., Endorse Siateshoods Corvallis Mixed reactions to two formi of "colonialism" the U. S. domestic brand and that of European allies were regis tered by Oregonians participat ing in the 1957 "Great Deci sions discussions of foreign pol icy issues. Opposition to colonialism for U. S. territories but general sup port of allied nations' control policies for colonies were fa vored by the majority of persons in more than 300 Oregon Great Decisions groups. Prompt action on statehood of Alaska and Hawaii, a chance for Puerto Ricans to vote on inde pendence or statehood, and more liberal dealings with Panama rated high in opinion ballots from 22 Oregon counties on the issue of "U. S. For or Against 'Colonialism'?" qTo vote for this and seven oth er foreign policy issues in the 1957 Great Decisions series are being tabulated by Oregon State college extension service. Ballot tabulations will be completed during the next three weeks on the three final issues of the se ries neutralists, military strat egy in the nuclear age, and trade and aid. While generally favoring "self- determination" in U. S. territo ries, Oregonians balloted as fol lows on colonial questions of European allies: Cyprus Sixty-six per cent thought the U. S. should support continued British control because of the strategic importance of the is land. Twenty-nine per cent said the U. S. should support majority rule by the 80 per cent Greek population that wants union of the island with Greece. The remaining 5 per cent sup ported partition of the island into Greek and Turkish, the mi nority group, sections with self determination for each. Algeria Eighty-one per cent favored pntinued association of Algeria ith the French Union. Algeria has been French territory since 1830. Nineteen per cent believed this country should support the Algerian nationalists' movement for independence. Singapore Ninety-two per cent voted U. S. support of British control un til Far East tensions and local Communist activities quiet down. Eight per cent thought this country should press Britain to give Singapore self-government now. The Belgian Congo Fifty-six per cent voted for U. S. "hands off" in this foreign policy issue. The Congo was an nexed as Belgian territory in 1908 and is the richest country in Africa. Ninety per cent of its important uranium export comes to the U. S. Forty-four per cent thought we should urge a speed-up in economic and political develop ment aimed at early Independ ence. Broad recommendations for U. S. policy in relations with European allies on colonial ques tions favored recognition that some peoples are not yet ready for self-government but encour agement to our allies and the United Nations to speed up edu cation, administrative training, and economic development in all colonial areas.

Three Out of Five Veterans' Vidows Fail to Seek Aid Three out of every five wid ows of veterans who died of service-connected causes before Jan. 1, have failed to apply for the new increaseo dependents' com pensation payments, S. T. Bran- nock, office.- in charge of the VA office, 3 North Riverside ave'., announced Saturday. The Servicemen's and Veter ans' Survivor Benefits act, which authorizes ibe new payments, became effective Jan. 1. Higher Payments Widows of veterans who died of service-connected causes be fore Jan. 1, may elect to receive the new payments or to continue under the old conpensation, whichever ii higher. In most cases, Brannock said, the new act i rovides for higher payment to these widows than were granted under previous laws. Any of these widows who wish to receive tne higher benefit must apply 'or the new compen sation payments, even though they already are on VA rolls. Retroactive Payments If a widow is eligible for an increased monthly payment und er the new lw, such payments will be made retroactive to Jan. 1, provided she applies by July 1, Brannock said. With certain exceptions, ap plications received after July 1 will be effective as of the day they are received, he emphasiz ed. Widows who make application for the new benefit, but who would receive more under old laws, will be advised by the VA against the wrong choice of pay ment However if a widow fails to apply for trie new benefit, she will continue to receive death compensation at the same rate as in the pa.st, even though she might be eligible for increased payments under the survivor benefits act, Brannock said. Advice about applying for the new benefit is available at the VA office, 33 North Riverside ave. Sunday, March 24, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE St. Augustine.
