o TWO MJSBFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, April 14, 1957 Healthy World Trade Favored by Oregonians in Great Decisions Corvallis Global coordina tion in trade and aid programs that maintain healthy world trade, but cutbacks in outright "gifts" as rapidly as possible, were favored by persons ballot ing in Oregon's 1957 Great Decis ions program. Votes on the foreign policy is ue "How Much Trade How Much Aid?" were tabulated last week by the Oregon State col lege extension service. It was the last in a series of eight issues discussed by 300 Great Decisions groups in 22 Oregon counties. Ballots cast on 10 alternatives on how the U. S. might handle its foreign aid programs showed 28 per cent in favor of channel ing aid through the United Na tions or other international bodies capable of coordinating a Job of this size. S.cond Most Popular Second most popular alterna tive with 18 per cent of the vote favored emphasis on "loans" and cutting out of grants or "gifts" as soon as possible. A challenge to Russia to cooperate with the U.S. in planned world-aid pro grams received 15 per cent of the vote. Twelve per cent thought the U.S. should continue to give most aid direct, to let people know where it comes from. Voting on U.S. foreign trade policies showed 51 per cent in favor of tackling each trade problem on its own merits by giving a fair hearing to both U.S. industry and foreign com petitors. The approach would seek to work out healthy world trade relations based on reason able competition. Next most popular alternative for handling trade policies gave a 20 per cent vote to broadening trade with the communist world while keeping restrictions on strategic or key war materials. High Tariffs Only two per cent of the bal lots favored a return to high tariffs in fields where U.S. in dustry has difficulty competing . with foreign products, while 18 per cent thought the U.S. should work for lower tariffs in all fields. On the subject of U. S. farm . surpluses, 45 per cent voted for establishment of an international agency to study ways of getting world "surpluses" to world "defi cit area without disturbing world market prices. Second alternative to the sur plus problem, with 40 per cent vote, called for disposal of sur pluses on the world market by keeping prices at a fair level to avoid undercutting friendly na tions. Needy nations unable to pay world market prices would continue to receive U.S. sur pluses where it did not deprive allies of cash markets. Voting on U.S. long-term eco nomic relations with underde veloped areas of the world brought a three-way split: Twenty-six per cent favored continuing a limited amount of aid and a reasonable amount of trade, making such countries realize they must work out their own economic problems. Twenty-five per cent thought the U.S. should emphasize trade with underdeveloped nations as a "healthier" approach than long-range programs. Twenty-three per cent voted for increased U.S. support and contributions to United Nations economic development programs, A proposal now under considera tion by 30 nations would pool money into UN for grants and liberal loans. The U.S. has agreed to support the move if money is raised through world disarmament. The remaining votes were di vided among three other alterna tives advocating more U.S. pri vate industrial investment in un derdeveloped nations or U.S. government assistance to such countries wanting to set up whole new basic industries. Ashland Girl Is Serving With Red Cross in Korea Tokyo Miss Dixie Deane Mc Culloch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McCulloch, route 1, box 87, Ashland, left the United States early this year for a one year tour of duty with the Amer ican Bed Cross as a recreation worker in South Korea. Miss McCulloch and another girl make up a Red Cross club mobile unit that daily travels over rough Korean roads to visit men at isolated army installa tions. Averaging about four stops daily, they may find as many as from 150" to 200 men awaiting their visit or as few as 15 to 20. Typical Day A typical day for the two-girl team starts shortly after 7 a.m. when they climb into a clubmo bile truck which is driven by a soldier. Dressed in slacks, shirts and boots, they are off with sup plies that range from scrabble games to record players and doughnuts. When the girls visit a large contingent, there are group games and community sings. Quizzes patterned on top state side TV shows are popular and, if there are newly arrived men from the States, there is a special quiz designed to acquaint them with Korea. At small installations, the young women spend much of their time talking with the men. If it is someone's birthday, there is a party with food and enter tainment. Miss McCulloch and her part ner get back to the base about 5 p.m. A graduate of the University of Oregon, Miss McCulloch join ed the Red Cross staff after working for the North American Aviation company. She also worked in Red Cross lifesaving and hospital service. The Red Cross still is accept ing applications for overseas duty in Korea, Europe and North Africa. To be eligible for such an assignment, a girl should be between 23 and 30, a college graduate, and have some skill in music, arts or crafts.

Cost of Living A New York City working girl, living with her family, needs a minimum weekly salary of $51.25 to support herself properly.

So con sider what a New York City taxi driver, earning between S50 and $60 a week is up against in try ing to support himself and wife and several children. Husband Hunting Does your wife appreciate you? Does she realize what a lucky girl she is to have a hus band she can call her own? Any way, husband hunting is getting tough all over. Even young, red haired widows are not doing so well. Some of this allegedly ir resistible type are apparently growing desperate. In London, a beautiful, 38-year-old, red haired widow with $150,000 in the bank has sought the aid of a matrimonial bureau in acquir ing a spouse. She is none too particular either. All she asks in the way of a husband is a man between the ages of 38 and 55 who has a position paying at least $85 a week. She ex plains the latter stipulation by saying she just wants some proof the man is a steady fellow and not marrying her for her money.
