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.

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.

Do You Quarrel Over Money?
"Jack is pure gold until the
children or I ask for money,"
complains Ruth. "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

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

came the sharp clicks. Usually
they were half a second apart

For smaller and lesser ocean
living mammals than the huge
sperm whales (males . reach 65

of built-in radar. The animals
give off clicks and seem to get
an idea of ocean depths and con

William E. Schevill, an insti

the groans were merely a lot of
