I? h 1 1 V MAIL TRIBUNE nxcnetty UN Board Examines New Trends Trends in the United Nations and coming events were con sidered at a recent meeting of the board, Oregon United Na tions association, held in Port land. Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr.. Medford, was one of 22 members who attended. Tom Churchill, Salem, an nounced that October 22-26 as the dates of the annual United National week. Speakers available to chap ters for UN day were announced as E. Raymond Wilson, Ameri can Friends Service committee; Norris Dodd, Baker, a former secretary of the InternationI Aviation Organization; John R Richards of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cul tural Organization and Mrs. jen- elle Moorhead, also of UNESCO Mrs. Bosworth states that the Medford chapter will aid local groups in planning programs to observe United Nations day Materials are available from the state office, she said. Interested groups may contact Mrs. Bos worth. It was said at the meeting that Oregonians have not lagged in their interest in international affairs, and that residents of the state are considered unusually well informed. Chapters were urged to use all avenues of in doctrination in keeping every oine. particularly youth, in formed. It was announced that the Oregon association would have a booth ana otherwise support the International Fair to be pre sented by Meier and Frank, Portland, in September. It has taken a year and a half to plan the million dollar display of articles from all around the world, according to board mem bers. Dr. Karlin Capper - Johnson, president of OUNA, reported on his visit to New York for a meeting of the national board when discussion centered on "what kind of a United Nations do we want?" Many in the United States thought of the UN as static and have called for revision, Dr. Capper-Johnson said, adding that the process of 81 nations working together has brought about con stant change and that it is now known as the organ of democ racy. "We as local UN chapter mem bers must see that we know what will keep the organiza tion effective as a democratic organization." Dr. Capper-Johnson said. "This is a practical undertaking. It is not a question, as some think, of getting the U.S. out of the United Nations, but of asking the U.S. public what sort of UN do we want. Do we want a UN police force? Do we agree with Attorney General Herbert Brownell that it should be a compulsory court and abide by its decisions? Do we consider the UN an organiza tion of states? If so, then we who claim to be interested must be interested in what those people who are UN members in other countries are concerned about? "Political problems are not our only concern; we must help other UN countries in solving the problems they see facing the UN." Dr. Capper-Johnson said the World Federation of the United Nations meets in Geneva in September to consider these problems. Dance Teacher Attends Seminar In Los Angeles Miss Colleen Hope, iocal dance teacher, has just returned from Los Angeles where she attended a ballet seminar and work shop for two. weeks.

Friday, September, 8, 1957 Women Said Investment Extremists By LEROY POPE United Press Financial Writer New York QP "Women are the extremists in the investment world ' -they either buy noth ing but government bonds and American, Telephone or they squander their money on penny uranium stocks. ' That's the opinion of the first active woman stock broker to have her name added to a Wall Street firm, Mrs. Margaret Ken nedy, a pleasant, red-haired grandmother of 44. The stock exchange firm of Seligman, Lu- betkin & Co. has just changed its name to Lubetkin, Regan and Kennedy. "Ignorance makes women ex tremists about securities," Mrs. Kennedy said, "and since so many of them are ignorant about money, it's probably just as well that most of the fortunes in the hands of women are tied up good and tight in trust funds." Mrs. Kennedy says this is especially important because there are more potential women buyers of securities than male customers if we-leave out in stitutional investors, which are run by men. "I have been lecturing for years, urging women to learn about money and investments while their husbands are alive so they will not be too depend ent on trust company executives if they re widowed. More im portant it is necessary for wom en to learn not to make invest ments out of emotional instead of business considerations. Ex treme conservation or the desire to gamble on shady speculations show an emotional attitude to ward money as well as bad judg ment." Even worse, says Mrs. Ken nedy, are the numerous trag edies caused by mother yield ing to the importunities of her children to invest money in their business schemes. "If the invest ments go bad and mother be comes destitute, the children may be the first to turn on her and accuse her of wasting her and their inheritance." Other women's names have appeared in the titles of Wall Street firms but only as silent partners. Margaret Kennedy is different. She knew about big steel, bulls and bears and cats and dogs before she was nine. She helped her father keep sta tistical tables for his financial paper, the Wall Street Analyst. She liked that better than play ing with dolls.

(ID A church choir singer who is all mixed up geographically won Thursday night's talent round at the Miss America pageant with a hilarious, off-key rendition of "My Hero" from "The Choco late Soldier." Gloria - Ruth Rupprecht, 19, daughter of a Lutheran minister, entered the contest as Miss In diana. But she was born in Chi cago and lived in Winston-Salem, N. C, before moving with her father to St. Petersburg, Fla., two years ago. Miss Rupprecht now attends Valparaiso University in Indiana, her stepping-off point to the state contest which she won. Sings Off Key She conceivably was the first contestant in history of the pag eant to win a talent competition by singing off key.

"At the mention of a dollar, he shrieks like a banshee." "I've tried," says Tonia, "but I can't stick to a budget. The money just seems to go some where, and it drives Bob crazy. He's always mad at me over money." Money is indeed the root of many- domestic quarrels. In our survey of 1000 letters to this column, we find money men tioned five times as often as children,, ranking with alcohol ism, irresponsibility, and in laws as a problem. According to a well-known authority, half of all divorces point to finances as part of the difficulties. Wives generally accuse their husbands of stinginess, while husbands complain about their wives' extravagance or disor derly budgeting. Both too much and too little money cause dif ficulty or perhaps we should say, the management of its pre sents unlimited opportunity for disagreement. Money quarrels are often dis guises for other difficulties. Un conscious rivalries, hidden an tagonisms, the desire to punish, unacknowledged fears all these may express themselves as money problems.. Money may even be a symbol of virility, of established manhood. The hus band who refuses to let his wife work often fears a reflection upon his manliness and sexual adequacy. The old man who at tempts to attract a young wife with his oversized bankroll is in essence substituting posses sions for potence. Men who float from one job to another, who have an irregu lar income are often unstable and insecure people, unsatisfac tory partners for those who de sire security, guaranteed and delivered. Other things being equal, a steady income is more Instrument Shows Brain on Screen Moscow (IP) A Lenin srad newspaper said today Soviet scientists have perfected an in strument which projects the hu man brain on a television screen.

Each Scientists Now Believe Whales Can Take Part in 'Conversations' By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New" York OP) Science now has some pretty solid proof that whales give off "sounds intended to be mean . ingful to other whales. The proof is in the form of re cord i rigs of among female sperm whales and their joint mate. Delos Smith A variety of sounds were re corded. The remaining problem is how whales make such sounds and what' the sounds mean to whales. One sound was a sort of muffled smash. Another re minded a scientist of a "rusty hinge creaking." A third was a sharp and quite forceful click ing. All were transmitted under water, which is not surprising because whales are poorly equipped for hearing anything transmitted through the air. Their ears are relatively tiny and are inside the head, and the ears are covered by thick layer$ of wax. Supports Old Theory Yet it is well known that sounds are picked up by whales with obvious interest. For in stance, a small splash in the ocean usually will produce an immediate reaction. The sperm whale recordings tended to support the idea that there is no such thing as a mam mal which is incapable of mak ing sounds meaningful to its fel Grange Notes Shady Cove Grange The Shady Cove Grange had their annual evening picnic Wed nesday, Aug. 28 at the T.

Backus, of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass., recorded the sperm whale sounds while in an institution vessel 200 miles south of Cape Cod. L. V. Worth ington, in another institution vessel, heard them off the North Carolina coast through the ship's echo-sounding radar. Groups of Females Worthington saw five whales loitering on the surface. Sperm wholes go about in groups of fe males accompanied by a male. The first sound, as the ship ap proached, were muffled smashes the smashes about half a sec ond apart. As the distance between whales and ship closed, he heard "a grating kind of groan, very low in pitch, like a rusty hinge creaking. This lasted as long as German Family Wishes to Move Here, Seeks Sponsor Medford Mayor John Snider has received a letter from Adrian N, Allan, a German resi dent who wishes to obtain a sponsor to help him and his fam ily emigrate to the Medford area.

OP) A hap less housewife has done it again. She got tangled up with house hold appliances for , the second time within a year. Mrs. Virginia Schoen last February got her hands caught in a non-functioning garbage dis poser. She had to be rescued by the fire department. Wednesday, the 34-year-old housewife got her big toe caught in a' refrigerator door. She had removed a broken handle from the door some time ago and when she went to kick the door closed with bare feet her toe jammed in the hole left by the missing handle. It took the same fire depart ment that came to her rescue before to get her out of the latest predicament. Hot Springs reservation in Arkansas is one of the nation's oldest national parks.

"They usually came in groups of 20 or more," said the institu tion's scientific report. "Differ ent individuals chimed in from time to time, and there wag n6 period of more than a few sec onds without clicks." Built-in Radar For smaller and lesser ocean living mammals than the huge sperm whales (males . reach 65 feet in length) there is evidence of built-in radar. The animals give off clicks and seem to get an idea of ocean depths and con tent from the returning echoes. William E. Schevill, an insti tution authority, suggested that this was the meaning of the sperm whale clickings and that the groans were merely a lot of clicks in rapid succession. The scientists made their report to the technical journal, "Nature." office, a diploma of the textile course and certificate for pro duction of hand boxes and bags.

She said she handed the mink to a "wardrobe wom an," but after the pictures wer taken the actress couldn't locate the woman or the fur piece. Officers said there ,was no wardrobe woman backstage at the time and that Miss Mansfield probably placed the valuable possession into the hands of thief.
