From Arthur Perry's Ye Smudge Pot column: "It is now warm enough for the fair sex to wear their summer furs." Talk Sometimes Helpful Up in Eugene the other day, a group of men sat down, informally and unofficially, to discuss problems of the jobs they hold. Now this happens every day, and there's noth ing unusual about it. But this meeting was rather unusual, for it was the first meeting of a sort of coordinating council, with the nine members representing the city, of Eugene, the Lane county board of com missioners, the Eugene water and electric board, the University of Oregon, and the Eugene school district. . THE official relationship between these units and sub-units of government is tenuous, at best. But the unofficial relationship, the day-today mutual problems which need solving, and in which all have a stake, is real enough. Matters of zoning, planning, road and street planning and construction, location of water, eewer and electric lines, problems of taxation and finance, future school sites, campus expansion, park location and the responsibilities therefore all of these affect all the agencies involved in one way or another. THERE are indications that this coordinating council, without any official grant of power whatsoever, may soon get around to discussing public problems ranging from what can be done for young people in the way of recreation, or law enforcement, to the official relationships of the agencies involved. The representation on the council may even tually be expanded, according to the Eugene Register-Guard, which goes on to comment: "Talk, we've all heard, is cheap. The 'roundtable discussions' of this coordinating council not only will be an inexpensive means of promoting better team work among our governmental units. They can easily lead to better bargains for the taxpayers by increas ing the overall efficiency of local government." The Guard adds: "There's no danger of the coordinating council be coming a 'super-government.' It has no governing pow ers, nor even official status. On the other hand, partici pation by all 'interested parties' could enhance the value of the council's give-and-take exchanges of information and ideas. The net benefits could do a whole lot toward improving this metropolitan area with considerable overaU tax savings." .

Ashland Man Cut by Power Saw at Home Ashland Ronald Hughes, operator of Hughes Photo Service, Ashland, suffered severe cuts on three fingers of hs left hand Friday after noon while working with a power saw at his home, the family reported yesterday. He was reported in good condition at Ashland Gener al hospital. CUCH a council is by no means a cure-all, or, really, much more than simply an intelligent step toward coordination and a means of letting one hand of government know what another is doing, so to speak. But it is such a step. This kind of an informal council could be exceedingly helpful in Jackson county, where the county government sometimes seems to forget that there are units of government other than itself. Actually, there are' 10 incorporated cities in the county, 19 school districts" as well as the county-wide rural school district; and a number of irrigation, soil conservation, rural fire protec tion, water and sewer districts. In addition, state agancies (notably the state department of for estry) and federal agencies (principally the For est Service and Bureau of Land Management) play big roles in the county's economy. TPHE individuals involved in many of these gov- emmental units know each other, and have a generaf appreciation of the others' problems and plans. But this liaison is not as close at it might be; and we have an idea that an informal coordinat ing council, to meet periodically, might go a long way toward greasing the sometimes squeaky wheels of governmental cooperation and mutual understanding. One would think that our legislators would be glad to attend, too, for such a meeting would be an ideal sounding board to sample the think ing of the various units. It's worth thinking about. E.A. State Song Progressing "Oregon, My Oregon," also known as "Land of the Empire Builders,"f the Oregon state song, is making heartening progress. We lamented here a few months ago that no one seems to know it very well if at all and that it was being neglected. And it's a good tune. Since then, we understand that at least one young men's service club in town has started singing it at the beginning of its meetings. And, according to evidence from some school-age youngsters we know, it is a part of their music repertory. MOW we are informed that it's beginning to get through in official circles in Washington. Congressman Charles O. Porter earlier this year got in touch with the District of Columbia Federation of Musicians, and suggested that Ore gon's song be played at functions where the various states are saluted by their official songs. In the past, Oregon's tribute has been a sort of undistinguished musical "bridge" which meant nothing. As a result, the district's orchestra leaders were tipped off to this unsatisfactory situation, and at one recent function, the state's song was given a "lively and well-rendered version," Porter reports. JVhich is all to the good. E.A. . Washington Report By William S. White 1 VLWv BORDER STATER Washington If fortune ever should put Senator Al bert Gore of Tennessee into 1 one of those smoke - filled f hotel rooms ' where Presi dential candi- dates some ,"s times are luauc, wild would hap pen? First of all, -i 1 J Willam S. White w o u x u open the windows to banish the odor of cigars. Then he would raise the blinds all the way up. And if a bottle of liquor happened " to be lying about, it would at once be cast away. Albert Gore is a slight, non- cussin , non - smoKin , non- drinkin' politician. (The end ing "g" on -any word is noft existent to him.) He looks like a collar ad. And he is about 10 times as tough as he looks. HIS total sobriety in the highly convivial profession of politics probably is an as set in Tennessee, which has a strong temperance sentiment, Indeed,- one of the most hard handed and powerful politi cal bosses in the history of the United States, the late Mister E. H. Crump of Mem phis, was in some ways as sternly puritan as it is possi ble to be. Gore, for his part, reached the - Senate - via previous service in the House of Rep resentatives as an anti-machine candidate. A touch of the reformer has been about him ever since. This aura, like his abstention from strong drink, does not go down so well with the politicians gen erally as it does with his Ten nessee constituents., The Democrats as a class are a rather gay lot who feel that bourbon and Scotch are the rightful lubricants of the wheels of politics. Though there is nothing self-righteous in him, Gore nevertheless is a little like that small boy in ' grammar school who was the brightest and best behaved in the room and who invariably was un popular among his classmates because of it. THE Senator is, in fact, an apt illustration of the rath er careless way in .which life distributes its boons and shortcomings. j He has a great deal of abil ity along with his earnestness but is rather short of that casual touch that is so help ful in his trade. He is a member of a more or less liberal movement in the South. And he probably typifies the kind of politician who will be required if the Democratic party in that sec tion is ever to become a posi tive rather than a largely neg ative influence within the na tional organization. He is among those South erners, for example, who hon estly wish to ease the segrega tion issue. He will go to some length and run considerable political danger in the cause of promoting Negro rights and privileges. He is a man, moreover, ready and willing to occupy himself seriously with serious issues. He seeks no free ride on phony issues that are main ly for headline purposes; he works his passage by real study and energy. TT IS probable that he thinks -- of himself as a sort of pol itician who will at some time lead the South away from its traditional sectionalism. Such an eventuality and such a man might also break the old tradition that a Southern er cannot be elected President. If Gore does indeed ponder these possibilities, it is a per fectly rational ambition. It is, however, no doubt a bit pre mature. The likelihood of the notion suffers, too, in a less tangible way. Tennessee in the North is automatically considered a Southern state and for purposes of conven ience in description, it is. But Tennessee was never all-Southern not during the Civil War and not since. It was a bitterly divided border state in the last century and politically1 it is a border state still. If a Tennesseean should return one day to the White House to vindicate the mem ory of that state's Andrew Jackson in that office, this would not necessarily mean an end to the national apart ness of the Deep South. For such a border state can didate Gore specifically in the present discussion would never be a happy choice of the Deep Southerners. They might take him as a matter of ex pediency, but he could never really reflect their views.- (Copyright. 1958, by United Features Syndicate, Inc.) Matter of Fact DE GAULLE IN ALGERIA Algiers As spectable, Gen. da Gaulle's descent upon Algiers was, something to remember. The huge, ex cited crowds, the display of military splen dor for which the French Army has a su perb knack, the stronger colorings that Joseph Alsop siruuj emo tions somehow give such scenes all these - were there. One kept . remembering the line in T. S. Eliot's poem "On a General's Triumph": "Oh the eagles! Oh the trumpets!" But these public scenes, easily dominated by the tall, pale, impassive figure of the General, were in fact not the real drama of the occasion. The real drama began far away in Paris and continued; wholly behind the scenes, here in Algiers. The actors were the mem bers of the General's govern ment, the people of his en tourage, and the leaders of the movement in Algeria that precipitated the French crisis The drama's theme was a des perate, last-minute attempt to persuade De Gaulle to make Jacques Soustelle his Minister for algeria. Thus, De Gaulle was to give full recognition to the new state of affairs here, and even to consecrate this state of affairs which Soustelle has done so much to bring about. CJOMETIMES one wonders & just how" wily, just how m u c h of a poker player Charles de Gaulle really is. For example, if his final de cision had been made known when it was probably taken, on Tuesday, the hotheads of the Algerian Committee of Public Safety might well have made really bad trouble. It would have been easy to or ganize trouble in the crowds that put so much more pas sion, the next day, into their shouts of ''Soustelle, Sou stelle!" than into their accla mations of De Gaulle., But in fact, after the final Cabinet meeting in Paris Tuesday evening, fhe word was passed to Algiers with seeming authority, that the General's mind was still en tirely open and the great deci sion had yet to be made. The same word was brought back to Algiers by Gen. Salan and the other military personali ties who "were, flown to Paris to confer with the head of the French government. The more pessimistic lead ers, of the movement here in Algiers already expected the blow that finally fell. But there was still the off chance better than an off chance some said. There were also enough old Gaullists in the Algerian movement (along with an ample supply of old Petainists) to understand that De Gaulle was more likely to be persuaded by . politeness than by threats. So everything was planned, everything was organized, to please and to persuade by a fine show of enthusiasm and submissive- ness. NE can imagine the breath- By Joseph Alsop - not hear the two things it wanted to hear, the nomina tion of. Soustelle and approval en bloc of Soustelle's program for Algeria. The crowd seemed to sense its coming disappointment. Yet the whole vast machine of enthusiasm had by now de veloped its own momentum. It would not be turned back. So those who were most dis appointed played the parts that the occasion had, so to speak, ruthlessly allotted to them. De Gaulle was cheered for a speech, at once emotion al and enigmatic, that left his hands free to seek almost any Algerian solution he consid ers practical and appropriate. And after the General and the dignataries departed, a large part of the crowd remained to keep up the vain shout of "Soustelle, Soustelle, Sou stelle!" : Before these words can be printed far more may have happened, and these things that may happen -will perhaps transform the outlook. But as these words are written, it would appear that De Gaulle has recaptured full control in this deeply troubled c i t y, without in any way entan gling himself with all those forces that seemed so likely to entangle him. That, in itself, is a remarkable accomplish ment. (Copyright 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

When he does so, however, I trust that he will get his facts straight, and not misrep resent my position as he did the last time. For his in formation and yours, I do not oppose the reciprocal trade program and have never stated that I do. . I strongly favor foreign trade and believe that it should be encouraged.

Then, quite quietly at the summer palace, De Gaulle gave his answer. He himself would be his own Minister for Algeria. Gen. Salan would be hisdeputy, on the scene. The Committee of Public Safety might continue, but as a "civ ic and propaganda organiza tion," and not as a substitute fer the public administration of Algeria. . v It was not the answer de sired by the new masters of Algiers. It offered no conse cration, -no real recognition even,, of their movement. Above all, it did not make De Gaulle their "prisoner," in the sense so often predicted by the French left wing in the days of crisis in Paris. But it was the only answer that nei ther Soustelle, nor any of Sou stell's backers in De Gaulle's personal circle, nor indeed anyone else couia possioiy dare to challenge. - THERE w a s a magnificent irony, therefore, in the final public scene of that first day the immense meeting in the Algiers Forum, where De Gaulle made his speech to the people. The insiders knew, by then, that the crowd would FOR CHARLES DE GAULLE Washington -What has happened in France illustrates a truth which I first came upon years ago in a history of the French revolution. It is that move ment; usually a regime col lapses of its own. weakness and corrup tion and then a revolution ary movement enters among Walter Lippman the ruins and takes over the powers that have become vacant. Thus it is simply not true as some are saying that a democratic and free system of government has been over thrown by a conspiracy of Co lonels and extremists, conniv ed at by Generals and right wing politicians, among them Gen. de Gaulle himself. The Algerian war, which has been a military failure and in its cruelties is a disgrace to the good name of France, was pre sided over by a Socialist poli tician who owed his appoint ment to a Socialist Prime Min ister. As respects North Afri ca, the authority of the French government in Paris had col lapsed long before the insur rection broke out last month. As early as February, after the bombing of the Tunisian village of Sakiet-Sidi-Youssef, it was as plain as the - nose on one's face that the Paris government was impotent to govern. . . ' .It is false, therefore, to look upon Gen. de Gaulle as the man who overthrew, or con nived at the overthrow of, the parliamentary government. He has come to power be cause that government could no longer pretend that it was able to govern. doubt, it has seemed to me, that he is an authentic bearer of the central traditions of the Western society. He does not use its values as stereotypes and slogans, as the battere catch phrases that political or ators have made of them. His mystery, which communi cates itself to the French when they are in trouble, is that, being authentic and not time-serving, he touches those chords of memory which bind a nation together. red, and stirred.

All I can say is that, having seen him re cently he did not seem in the least senile to me: he was then, and he has always been, a man of extraordinary his torical insight and imagina tion, in this respect second only, I would say, if not equal to, Churchill. There is in De Gaulle no trace of the modern vulgar dictator, of the Hitler, Mussolini, Peron, or Nasser, and he has shown in his books that his mind is profound and that his style since he uses no ghost writer is a true ex pression of his mind. There has never been any million over the greatly ex ceeded 1957 voluntary quota. Accordingly, it Is very clear that we cannot rely upon vol untary quotas. - : - It seems to me that our Democratic senators and con gressmen should try to stem this ever increasing tide of unfair competition.

I do not pretend to know the whole story but as a newspaperman in Washing ton and in London, I knew about significant bits and pieces of the story. Their bad relations began originally be cause at the beginning of the war, after the fall of France in 1940, there were two French governments. There was one inside France at Vichy under Marshal Petain which . was, of. course,, domi nated by Hitler .and the vic torious Nazi armies. The other French government was in ex lie in London, and it was under Gen. de Gaulle. It was our official policy for - which there were very good reasons of expediency, to maintain diplomatic rela tions with Petain's govern ment in Vichy and in North Africa. Our good reagons were that we intended to invade North Africa and hoped for the collaboration of the French officials and soldiers This policy, so it was felt by Secretary Hull and the Presi dent, required that we have no relations with the Free French under Gen. de Gaulle Though our hearts were with the Free French, our cal culated policy required us to be with the Vichy French. This necessary, but double- faced attitude caused much misunderstanding, and one irritating incident after the other. Roosevelt and Hull and De Gaulle never forgot and outlived their original cross purposes. ALL THIS was complicated 1 by a temperamental clash between Roosevelt and ue Gaulle. It is illustrated well enough in the perennial and celebrated joke that' Gen de Gaulle, who must be about six foot three and is all male, re garded himself as the Maid of Orleans, the Joan of Arc, of the French disaster. Roose velt seemed to think this was exceedingly funny, that it proved Charles de Gaulle was not to be taken too seriously But it was a Philistine's joke. For while, obviously enough, De Gaulle was a man and Joan was a woman, his historic role in the French disaster, like hers in the days before, was to rally the na tion and to compel the govern ment to resist the invading enemy. It is no surprise that there was no warm under standing between the two meni one of whom thought that the other's historic mis sion was a joke. In fact it was no more ab surd, nor was it any more conceited, for De Gaulle to think of Joan of Arc than it has been for, let us say, Am erican Presidents, in time of crisis, to think of themselves in terms of Washington and Lincoln.
