Foundation The National Foundation for Infantile Par alysis this week renamed simply the National Foundation has announced a broadening of its activities to include other health objectives. Long-rumored, the result of what could be cess. Polio is on the way opment of the Salk vaccine, which the foundation played a large part in developing. The foundation will continue its post-polio pa tient care programs, but otherwise, except for en couraging every man, woman and child to be vac cinated, any further role any basis. I7TLL the March of 1 gime, have the same emotional appeal that it did when it concerned tract the same donors to same volunteer workers sponsible for its success? We doubt it. Infantile paralysis, while never a really ma jor health problem,, statistically, anyway, was a crippling disease which chiefly affected children and young people, and gallant struggle of Franklin D. Roosevelt to over come its effects. For these reasons it was a "natural" money maker, and the money was used for good purpose DUT THE broadened include, initially, rheumatism, arthritis and birth defects, lacks these ic aspects. Lacking them, it is difficult to see how the foundation can be anywhere near as successful in the future as it has in the past particularly when far more serious health cancer, mental illness, heart disease, and the ail ments of old age are so much more pressing, both statistically and emotionally. lhese things have of late about the whole tacks on illnesses. Some newspapers, National Foundation is for solutions to birth defects and arthritis, and other research, than it is by the fact that dissolu tion of the professional and highly competent staff would be hard on the staff that it is more interested in perpetuating itself than it is in health for health's sake. THE discussions have can Cancer Society, which is withdrawing from all united fund-raising efforts. It is a typical pattern "go it alone," in the manner of the March of Dimes, for they have had better financial success hat way. And there are rheumatism and arthritis, heart, mental health, multiple sclerosis, and others even more special ized and obscure. It is, at best, a hit - and iness, each of them appealing to the general pub ic, gaming some support most of their funds from people who have 'a spec ial interest in finding a cure for one disease over another. THE Oregon Statesman points out that there has been talk of the formation of a single National Health Foundation, to act as a centralized fund- raising and disbursing agency sort of a super J United Fund or Community Chest for health purposes only and on a national basis. This makes sense. It money into the most productive and most needed research. It could allocate heir donors for particular serve as a clearing house and support. The United Funds and community bhests argfelv are devoted to youth groups and welfare- type activities, and their agencies has always been a tenuous one. The Statesman says: "It would be better for some National Health Foun dation to operate independently, staging its campaign separate from the United Fund . . . The separate money-raising organizations could dissolve, and there would be a more rational apportionment of proceeds to research and education activities of the several special agencies. "This will not come unless somebody the public, probably by withholding contributions, pushes the separate agencies into consolidation." DEOPLE who have worked long and hard on their special health projects would not like to lose their organizational identities. But if there is to be order and an effective, concentrated attack on the xinedical ills of the nation, some sort of plan along this line will do more toward that end than a continuance of the present situation. We don't expect to see it for a long time, how ever; not until the public rejects the many fund raising drives and forces some such realignment and consolidation. E.A.

Middle East Crisis Dominates International News of Week By CHARLES M. McCANN UPI Foreign News Analyst The week's good and bad news on the international balance sheet: The Middle Eastern crisis dominated the news this week. series of notes exchanged by the United States, Great Brit ain and France on one side and So viet Russia on the other ap p a r e ntly in sured that s "summit" con Charles M. McOann ference will the crisis most be held on probably within the next two weeks at United Nations head quarters in New York. In the U.N. Security Coun cil, Russia vetoed a Japanese resolution under which the U.N. observer force in Leb anon would have been rein- lorced to permit the early withdrawal of American troops. Russia used its veto be cause the resolution did not insist that the troops be with drawn at once. In Lebanon itself, a meet ing of the single-chamber Par liament, at which a new presi dent was to be elected to succeed Camille Chamoun, was postponed until next Thursday. There were increasing indi cations that the rebellion, which sent the troops to Leb anon in response to an appeal by Chamoun, might be ended soon by a compromise. Under the compromise, the 66-mem-ber chamber would elect a successor to Chamoun. It was Chamoun's attempt to revise the constitution, so he could get a second term, that caused the rebellion. The "summit" negotiations started last Saturday when Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev demanded an im mediate conference on the ground the landing of Ameri can troops in Lebanon and British troops in Jordan threatened to lead to World War III. The United States, Britain and France replied on Tues day the day that Khrush chev had wanted to start the conference. They offered to hold the conference, at a date to.be agreed upon, under the auspices of the U.N. Security Council. Khrushchev answered the Allies on Wednesday by say ing he was prepared to at tend a conference. He sug gested it start in New York next Monday. It was obviously impossible for the Allies' to agree to start the conference so soon, A Editorial Comment PORTER SERVES BEST INTERESTS There is an obvious lesson to be drawn from the differ ent receptions given by Ven ezuelans in Caracas to Vice President Nixon in May and to Rep. Charles O. Porter, of Oregon . . . Mr. Nixon, it will be recalled, was stoned, and spat upon. Mr. Porter has had cheering crowds arjd warm friendliness. The reason could not be more simple and Vice Presi dent Nixon himself put his finger upon it immediately when he suffered his ordeal. The Venezueelans had noth ing against him, as he real ized; they were reacting to 10 years of excessive American friendliness to the hated and brutal dictatorship of Gen. Perez Jimenez. Congressman Porter has gained fame as an enemy of, dictators and for that he is 7-2 For one thing, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles will be in London for a four-day meeting of the Middle East ern treaty organization the Baghdad Pact alliance start ing Monday. For another, it still will take time to decide on details, including the countries to be represented. Khrushchev wants Arab countries, which he did not specify, to be in vited. - Presumably President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic, whose ambition to dominate the Arab world is , keeping the Middle East in turmoil, would get a bid. A third reason for careful 7 'Switcheroo' Which Led to '55 Summit Recalled by Writer By LYLE C. WILSON UPI Correspondent Washington OIPD Three years and some months after a switcheroo on basic policy which was at the least most a s t o n ishing, President Ei s e nhower seems to have done it again. Three years and some months ago, as today, the Lyle C. Wilson policy ques tion was whether the ' Presi dent should join with the other heads of state in a sum mit meeting. Then, as today, the Eisen hower administration was sus picious, doubtful. To complete the parallel then, as today, pressure from western Eu ropean allies piled up. Eisen hower finally agreed to the 1955 summit meeting in Ge neva The Geneva summit confer ence ended . three years ago this week, with a remarkable record of non-achievement which finally established the huddle as the diplomatic morning glory of modern times. It started as an effort to end the cold war. It failed in all of its objectives, large and small. Ike Was Reluctant Eisenhower resisted the summit conference in 1955 as he resisted it this year. Brit ish and French popular opin ion was almost unanimous three years ago in demanding that the British, French, Rus- sian and American heads of state meet. British Socialists were making the summit con- being honored. He is unique in the House of Representa tives for having a special in terest in Latin American affairs. There are a few sena tors, like Wayne Morse, also of Oregon, and George Smath ers, of Florida, who have a knowledge and concern in hemispheric affairs, but they are few, indeed. Mr. Porter's dislike of the tyrannies in the Dominican Republic, Cuba and previous ly in Venezuela and Colom bia, is genuine. His recent criticism of the Ernst report on the Galindez-Murphy case was a notable piece of investi gation. No doubt his own ca reer as a congressman is being helped by what he is doing in the Latin American field, but his. sincerity cannot : be questioned and there is no doubt" that he is serving the best interests of the United States. The New York Times. Klamath Bill Chance Seen Good; Wordage Dispute Continues By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington House Inter ior Committee approval of the Klamath Indian bill has brightened prospects of its enactment before Congress adjourns, but a feature of the bill concerning timber man agement remains in contro versy. The whole purpose of the biU is to amend the original Klamath termination act of 1954, under which the pine forests of the Indians would have to be sold to the highest bidder with no strings attach ed. The pending measure is to assure that the timberlands won't be clear cut, but will be managed under good con servation practices. The administration bill, which passed the Senate, said any purchaser had to agree to manage on a sustamed-yieid preparation is that Khrush chev's attendance at a New York meeting would make almost unprecedented precau tions necessary to safeguard him. U.N. security agents, the United States Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investi gation, the New York police force and possibly even Amer ican Marine would be on hand in addition to Khrushchev's own secret police. There was one most favor able development: The dan gerous tension in the Middle East and between the United States and Russia which fol lowed the revolt in Iraq and the American and British landings in Lebanon, had greatly eased. ference a major campaign issue against the conservatives in the spring of 1955. With a British election com ing up, Eisenhower finally agreed. He told his March 23, 1955, news conference that no summit meeting was in the planning stage and that he had "faint hope" that a Big Four meeting would be use ful. Five, days later the Presi dent said . he could foresee "many dangers" in a high level Big Four meeting. The Presi dent's firmly held preference was for careful preliminary planning leading to a foreign ministers' conference. A sum mit meeting would come last, if at all. On the day the President foresaw many dangers, the State Department confirmed announcement by British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden in London that the United States, Great Britain and France had begun dis cussions for arrangement bf a possible Big Four meeting with the Soviet Union. Victory For Eden Eisenhower finally became enthusiastic about the chances of a summit meeting easing the cold war. These develop ments combined to scuttle the biggest issue British Socialists had been able to develop against Eden's conservative government in the election campaign then underway. Eden's Conservatives won that election. British Socialists had the pressure on again this week for a summit meeting. The Eisenhower admin istration seems again to be adjusting its policy in that respect to meet the political necessities of the principal U.S. ally and the pressure of world opinion. Now, as in 1955, Eisenhower would prefer careful prepara tion and an agreed upon dis cussion schedule before com mitting the U.S. to a meeting Of the heads of states. Lack of such preparation and agreement led the 1955 meeting into a dead end. The Big Four in 1955 finally re ferred German unification, European security, disarma ment and development of East-West relations to a for eign ministers conference which met in .Geneva Oct. 27, 1955. The foreign ministers met, talked and adjourned without agreement on anything. HELP FOR ELDERLY Washington (UPD The House Labor Committee ap proved a bill Thursday calling for a White House conference to recommend ways to meet the ..needs and use the skills of the nation's older citizens. basis for 100 years. But the House committee deleted the term sustained-yield and in serted a provision which says the timber must be managed so as to provide a continuous supply of timber. Sees Weakening Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), who piloted the bill through the Senate, thinks this change weakens the mea sure. So do conservation groups. The Forest Service says it depends on how Con gress interprets this language. So to shore up this lan guage, Rep. Al Ullman (D Ore.) got the committee to agree to interpret it in this way in the report which will accompany the bill to the House floor: "The act of June 4, 1897 (establishing the Forest Ser vice) provides that one of the purposes for which national forests are established is 'to furnish a continuous supply of timber.' This is a guiding conservation principle under which the national forests have been managed for years. The committee believes it ap propriate to use this same language to describe the pur noses for which tribal forest- lands will be managed by the purchasers thereof under plans prepared by the pur chasers and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture." Prefer Other Term Forest Service officials say even with this interpretation thev would prefer the more explicit term "sustained- yield" in the law which will govern the management of the valuable Klamath timber- lands. Congressman Ullman says he also would prefer the Senate version, but this was the best he could get out of his committee. The originator of this new phraseology was Rep. Jack Westland (R-Wash.). Westland had some other seemingly minor changes in mind when the bill came uo for a final vote, but the committee re fused to accept them. West land said he had just received word from "some friends of mine" in the lumber business in Klamath Falls who claimed the pending bill would put up to 1,000 men out oi woru this fall. ' Westland said four mills were going to shut down in a month if they weren't able to get the 300 million board feet of timber they expected to go up for sale in August and September. He oojeciea to a provision in the Klamath bill which said "no , sale of timber shaU be made under the provisions of this act prior to July 1. 1959." Plan to But Forestry officials explained that the mills apparently were planning to buy timberland which the existing termina tion act has required Interior to advertise for sale. Interior has advertised 180 million bd. ft. on certain small units of land, and the bid opening is scheduled for Aug. 26 but all of this would be cancelled out. hv this bill, and, later, larger units would go up for sale under sustained-yield or continuous timber supply re strictions. "The whole purpose of this hill is to prevent clear cut ting," said Ullman in response to Westland's objections. Interior officials said 93 million bd. ft. of pine will be sold soon from the lands of Indians who plan to remain in the tribe. This sale is simi lar to past logging on sustained-yield basis in Klamath forests, from which Indians derive per capita payments. Committee members urged the Forest Service to see if it could make more timber available for sale to Klamath basin mills until the opportun ity is presented for private operators to bid on the large timber units into which the reservation forests will be divided. The committee then clari fied the intent of the bill to mean that no "forest units" shall be sold at this time. It moved the date up from July 1 to April 1, 1959. There was no change in the date of July i, 1961 deadline for private operators to purchase the for est units. After that date, they go into the national forest system. . Ends Management Jobs The House bill also calls for Interior to terminate the con tracts of the management spe cialists who were appointed to handle the termination pro gram. Interior would assume the responsibility of finishing the job. This would involve mainly conducting a review of the appraisal of the tribe's assets and managing the tim ber sales, if private operators bid on the timber. The House bill also repeals a provision in the original act which required trustees to be appointed by Interior to man-( In the Day's News By FRANK Russia has made it plain she doesn't like what we've done in the Middle East. So Our Ike says to Russia's Khrushchev If you don't like what we've done, come before the United Nations which is the world forum created for just such purposes and tell the world WHY you don't like what we've done and what you think SHOULD BE DONE. Ike adds: We'll be there to listen. ' TiO ANY fair-minded person, that sounds like a reason able and fair-minded proposal. IN HIS letter to Khrushchev, Tlra cair4 enmattimrr aIpa TJ. put it this way: "The United States is NOT dedicated to a perpetuation of the status quo ("status quo" is diplomatic lanenaep tnr keeping everything as is) in the ARAB WORLD. "The U.S. recognizes and SYMPATHIZES with the yearning of the Arab peoples! lor a greater nationalists unity." GOP Senators Seek Seniority publican leaders are about to do a little face-lifting on the most time-honored of Senate traditions the Seniority System.' . Under this hoary setup, freshmen Republicans are farmed out to minor commit tees where they must serve until they build up seniority. The "youngsters" are kicking; they want more important as signments. Three Republicans, George D. Aiken (Vt.), William A. Purtell (Conn.). and Jacob K. Javits (N. Y.) sent letter re cently to the Senate GOP leaders asking for a change. They proposed that every Re publican Senator, regardless of seniority, be assigned to at least one major committee be fore those Senators with more service get their second com mittee assignments. Every Senator gets two committees. Democrats' System This system was adopted by the Democrats in 1953 and has worked like a charm. And now it appears that the Republicans will try it. Both Sen. Styles Bridges (N. H.) chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, which rules on this matter, and Sen Everett M. Dirksen (111.), as sistant Republican leader, say thev favor the idea "I think the . proposal is going to get some real consid eration before the Senate Pol icy Committee," Bridges told Congressional Quarterly. Al though he stands first in sen iority among Senate Republi cans. Bridees said. "I'm for the general idea, although manv think I'm opposed to it I believe new Senators come in with fresh ideas and new inspiration." "There is a general disposi tion to rearrange the current system to provide effective committees for everyone, Dirksen said. He said the spe cial talents and experience of GOP Senators and the inter ests of their areas should be considered as well as sen iority. It is unlikely the system will be changed until after Jan. 1. 20 Favor Aiken told Congressional Quarterly that at least 20 Senate Republicans favor this change, particularly tnose low on the totem pole. Assistant Democratic Lead- er MiKe mansueia uvwuw said the abandonment of strict a ee mineral rights lor iu years. Under the House bill, the Indians who withdraw from the tribe will gain con trol over the minerals, if any, in their lands. Virtually unchanged in the House version is the section by which the Klamath marsh is to become the Klamath For est National Wildlife Refuge. This would become effective July 1, 1961, with the govern ment paying the realization value of the lands into the fund from which withdraw ing members -ot the tribe are to be paid their shares oi tribal assets. DAIRY - East Main St. Nowhere in this wide wonderful world will you find better Homemade Cinnamon Rolls,-not even in Sundsvall, Sweden. JENKINS TN THAT statement, Ike was talking over Khrushchev's head to the PEOPLE OF THE ARAB WORLD, who are giv ing striking evidence of their desire (and, perhaps, DETER MINATION) to RUN THEIR OWN AFFAIRS in that part of the world which for more centuries than the historians are able to enumerate exactly thpv havo TayalAj THEIRS. . He is saying to them that the United States of America, which in its immortal Decla ration" of Independence threw off the yoke of colonial im perialism, understands and SYMPATHIZES WITH the de sire of the Arab peoples to do likewise. That is a far-reaching state ment. t It could have far-reaching results. TT COULD mean that the United States of America is finally coming around to the point of declaring that its sympathies lie with the natural aspiration of peoples all over the world to RUN THEIR OWN AFFAIRS, free from imperialistic domina tion. Revision seniority "proved a ten strike" for the Democrats. "It strengthened our party in the Senate," he said. The big advantages, accord ing to Aiken and Javits, would be better morale among GOP Senators, more evenly distributed work load and the benefit of the indi vidual Senator's abilities and experience. Take Javits and Thruston B. Morton (Ky.) for example. They are the lowest ranking Republicans in the Senate. Javits, a former New York State Attorney General, is as signed to the relatively unim portant Rules and Adminis tration and District of Colum bia Committees and the Joint Committee on Printing. Mor ton, a former Assistant Secre tary of State, experienced in foreign affairs, is assigned to the Senate Committees on Post Office and Civil Service and District of Columbia. Communications Through Others' Eyei To the Editor: "In dealing with students, with patients, or with any group or nation, the first step is to see the world through their eyes, to enter in to what they are try ing to do, however strange their behavior seems. Genuine communication is impossible on any other basis." t The above is a quotation by Dr. H. S. Sullivan described in "Conceptions of Modern Psychiatry." So said an article by Dr. Irving Lee (Northwest ern University professor of public speaking in 1953). Dr. Sullivan must have had a mental picture of the cold war struggle, and the slender thread that now exists in place of the thick rope that had a chance to stand the strain of the long cold war. The statement "seeing through the eyes of others, en tering into what they are try ing to do," coincides with what author Harry Overstreet said in his book, "Mature Mind," referring to the oppos ing nations, and also to the deterioration of the Golden Rule in everyday life. He mentioned until adults saw life through grown-up minds there would be no peace and perhaps no life of any kind left on earth. Overstreet's urge was the de-education and then the re education of adults of all ages. Not just childish understand ing of self and others, but deep insight into every prob lem that could materialize into a breeding ground for hate, envy, gossip, slander, etc. He advised stepping out of our own selves, and then to do some retrospecting, thor oughly analyze our own short comings. In other words judge the old self we've been, and see where repairs are needed, to put ourselves in shape, to make our contribution to a hostile world, by- setting an example of peaceful attitude.
