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.

of personnel. Pacific area head

Riverdale, N.D. XU.R) The
population of this government
construction town, which grew

On The Side
(Distributed by King
One of the greatest shake-ups
in the history of the culinary art
as practiced in restaurants has
taken place in Paris. Maxim's,
the world famous Paris restau
rant is British controlled finan
cially. Recently there have been
complaints as to the cookery by
the French staff of cooks at
Maxims. So Edwin Schleven,
well-known London chef, and
his staff have been sent to
Maxim's to show the French
how to cook French food!
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. That is the decision of
the New York State Labor de
partment statisticians. 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.
Asides
When in Kansas City, Mo.,
don't smoke cigarettes in feed.
It is a criminal offense there.
Same is true of San Diego,
Calif. ... St. Michael is the

Horses and Women
A waist measure belt can be
of great assistance to a husband
engaged in supervising the
streamlining of a wife for the
improvement of her appearance
in a bathing suit. . . . This type
of belt, as soon as put on, re
veals what the wearer's waist
measurement is. While a waist
measurement of 25 is acceptable
for seaside appearance, 24 is
ideal and should be strived for
by all those wishing to be rated
belles of the beach.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Is
Beverly, used as a first name, a
man s name or a woman s
name? Ai Is originally a man's
name but females have appro
priated it. I say let them have
it. Shirley and Florence were
also originally man's names but
now are used more by females.
I say let the women have those
names too, and avoid confusion.
Q. Is Pearl White, the star of
the silent film serial titled "The
Perils of Pauline" still living?
A. Pearl White died Aug. 4,
1938, in the American hospital
