A New-Old Jacksonville
The "restoration" of Jacksonville that is,
the job of making- it look much as it did as a
pioneer, gold-mining town of 90 or 100 years
ago is much talked these days, particularly
with the Oregon Centennial observance starting
less than a year from now.
If it can be done it could make the attractive
little city a major tourist attraction.
But to do it would .require whole-hearted co
operation from Jacksonville's property-owners,
from the city itself, and from organizations in
Jackson county which have a stake in promoting
the tourist trade.
QTHER historic cities have benefited greatly
from such action.
One of these is Weaverville, Calif., west of
Redding on Highway 299, in the "Trinity Alps
area. It, too, was an old gold-mining town, and
it, too, is a picturesque community.
The difference is that Weaverville's citizens
got together to capitalize on its attractions.
The editors of the Jefferson Review, a week
ly paper in the Willamette valley, recently visit
ed Weaverville, and reported on it in an issue of
their paper. The column said, in part :
". . . We reached Weaverville and drove onto Main
street. It is one of the most charming small town Main
streets in the west a color picture card from out of
the past.
"The downtown stores have been preserved as they
were in the "good old days' probably much better
and painted in eye-catching colors. We were fascinated
by the outside spiral staircases of wrought iron painted
a brilliant white. The hotel has two of these staircases,
one on either side of the building. An office building
across the street has one.
"A long one-story brick building is painted barn
red, with a cutout gingerbread trim in white across the
top. The business names also were cutouts, painted
white. Another white building had the store names in
old-fashioned lettering, with each letter a different
color.
"Instead of allowing the old buildings to decay, or
tearing them down and building new ones, the town
businessmen have turned them into an asset. It's one
small town a tourist doesn't drive through without stop
ping." ly-EAVERVILLE today, with its bright colors
and festive appearance, is probably a far
more attractive place than it was dur,ing the days
of the gold rush, when tough miners and frugal
Chinese workers wandered the dusty streets.
But the old town has kept, and accented, the
architecture of the old days.
If it is not an, exact and literal representation
of its own past, at least it offers a clean and color
ful face to today's traveler, who may well be
surfeited with sleek, glass storefronts, with neon
lights, with parking meters and traffic lights.
rF COURSE Weaverville, alone on a highway
and not overshadowed in some resrjects by
a large neighbor (Redding is 45 . or so miles
away), has more at stake in the tourist trade than
does Jacksonville.
The California town is more self-centered and
self-sufficient than Jacksonville, which is, in ef
fect, a sort of "bedroom" town, with most of the
wage-earners working in Medford or other vallev
towns, while keeping their residences in Jack
sonville. . '
This may be one of
a notable lack of enthusiasm for plans , to "re
store" it. As things are, how would the residents
benefit from such action?
THEY wouldn't directly,
viiyjyo tucic lciiu tu v
rather than to the tourist
tial.
But if Jacksonville
to serve as a far more
than it is now, the entire valley, including Jack
sonville, would benefit. And Jacksonville people
could "cash in" through catering more directly to
a tourist trade much larger and more enthusiastic
than that at present.
It would be a gold mine far more productive
than the old shafts under
were. E.A.
Good
The last few days have seen a number of de
velopments which we classify as "good news."
Item The bureau of public roads has ap
proved the trans-Cascade highway by way of
the Lake of the Woods for inclusion in the forest
highway network, which means that improvement
of this important new route is not too far away.
Item The house and
agreed on a compromise on the Klamath Indian
Reservation timber sale bill, which means that
final passage is a mere formality, and which in
turn means that the Indians should receive a fair
share of the funds due them from the sale, while
at the same time the valuable timber stands will
be preserved on a sustained-yield basis.
ITEM The Main street-Eighth street one-way
couplet, first major portion of the city's arter
ial street program, opened smoothly and without
incident, and minor jamming at peak hours will
be eliminated by next spring with a new bridge
across Bear creek; also, progress on other seg
ments of the program is coming right along.
Item The Army has
of the old Housing Authority project area for a
new $300,000 armory which is good news for
local Army reserve units, wrho need a "home of
their own," and for youngsters on the west side,
who will benefit from a

Matter of Fact
APPEARANCE AND
REALITY
Washington The appear
ance of the next days can al
ready be imagined. With
Vm'manv a eran-
Jdiose ad man's
gesture, a
(wssffS 'positive"
American pro
gram for the
Middle East
will be pre
sented to the
United Na
tions. We shall
Jos-ph Alsop u ociiiigni-
eous. The Soviets will be in
dignant. It will make a lot of
headlines.
But none of this will mat
ter very much, beyond adding
to the humiliation already suf
fered by the Western Powers.
It will not even matter great
ly if, as seems likely, the
"positive" American program
turns out to be nothing more
or less than Aneurin Bevan's
old mustard plaster for the
Middle East's deep cancer an
American - financed, interna
tionally managed Middle
Eastern Development Corpor
ation. None of this will really
matter, because all this will
be mere appearance.
MEANWHILE, the place to
look for the hard facts
and rude developments that
truly do matter will be in
the Middle East. Judging by
the reports now pouring into
Washington, Gamal Abdel
Nasser's already-garnered tri
umphs are no more than appe
tizers before the main courses
are brought on.
One such report, which is
probably reliable, forecasts
the federation of Saudi Ara
bit with Gamal Adbel Nas
ser's United Arab Republic in
a few weeks time. That, in it
self, will be a main course
for Nasser that would have
been unimaginable not so
very long ago. Only a year
and a half ago, in fact, Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles was telling our British
allies that King Saud of Sau
di Arabia was to be the "key
stone ' of the arch" of the
brand-new. American policy
that would surely cut down
and contain the ambitious
Egyptian dictator. Even so,
the report concerning Saudi
Arabia is not the most serious
of the lot.
As has been stated before
in this space, the British have
long cherished a plan to use
the small, hot, sparsely popu
lated, oil-rich sheikhdoms on
the Persian Gulf, and above
all the ultra-rich sheikhdom
of Kuweit, as their hole card
in the desperate Middle East
ern game. The plan has been
to hang on to these sheikh
doms at all costs, and by mili
tary occupation if need be,
since they can produce
enough oil to meet Britain
and Western Europe's petro
leum fuel requirements all by
themselves.
THE most serious report
referred to concerns the
meeting between the aging
sheik of Kuweit and Gamal
Abdel Nasser, which occured
in Damascus after the coup
d'etat in Baghdad. This meet
ing is said to have produced
an accord with Nasser that
will temporarily protect the
position of the Kuweit ruling
house, the As-Subah clan. For
this protection, however, the
sheik is stated to have paid
in two ways: by promising to
contribute the lion's share of
his fabulous oil revenues to
Nasser's own Middle Eastern
Development Corpor a t i o n;
and by further agreeing to ac-
cept some form of federation
with Nasser's United Arab
Republic.
The sheik's action is under
standable. If the position in
Saudi Arabia has been cor
rectly reported, the position in
neighboring Kuweit will soon
be utterly untenable. But the
sheik's action, if correctly re
ported, also means' that the
moment of choice for Britain
is already almost at hand. For
if any such agreement be
By Joseph Alsop
tween the sheik and Nasser
is carried into effect, the
British hole card on the Per
sian Gulf will be lost for
good.
What this means to Britain
can be gauged, in turn, by
two simple facts. Hitherto,
under an agreement with the
British Government, the sheik
of Kuweit has already depos
ited his surplus oil profits in
London, for investment there.
This Kuweiti surplus has in
turn constituted at least 10
per cent of all the new capi
tal annually available in Lon
don for investment in the rest
of the sterling area. And Lon
don's position as the capital
and center of the sterling
area has always quite largely
depended, and still depends
today, on London's ability to
meet the requirements for
new capital in other sterling
area countries.
A S for the second of these
two simple facts, it is the
fact that ownership of the
Middle Eastern sources in Ku
weit and elsewhere currently
saves Britain something like
$1,000,000,000 a year on her
always difficult balance of
payments. The profits from
the oil companies pay for Bri
tain's entire oil consumption;
and because of Britain's own
ership of the oil companies,
payments for the oil Britain
consumes can be made in
sterling. No one can suppose
that these arrangements will
continue, when and if all the
oil sources in the Arab lands,
including even Kuweit, are in
the hands of Gamal Abdel
Nasser.
For just this reason, when
he was last here, British For
eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
asked for American support
of the British plan ' to treat
Kuweit and the other Gulf
Coast sheikhdoms as a never-to-be
abandoned hole card.
The problem thus posed will
be examined in another re
port in this space,

He added:

U.N. General Assembly, With Only Moral
Force, Exerts Considerable Influence
(Editor's Note:' What is
the United Nations General
Assembly? How does it
function? What are its pow
ers? What is its role in the
current Middle East crisis?
Here in simple terms are
the answers to these and
other questions that may
arise in connection with the
emergency session of the
assembly.)
United Nations, N. Y. (LTD
The United Nations Gen
eral Assembly, about to be
given the task of solving the
Middle East's problems, is a
unique parliament with moral
force as its only authority.
Unlike a summit meeting
of heads of government, first
suggested to tackle the Mid
dle East crisis, it commands
no divisions to carry out its
decisions.
Unlike the Security Coun
cil, where Russia's veto
blocked Middle East action,
it cannot issue orders nor call
upon its members to provide
trooos to enforce them.
"The General Assembly,"
the U.N. charter says, "may
discuss any questions or any
matters within the scope of
the present charter . . . and
may make recommendations
to the members of the United
Nations or to the Security
Council or to both on any such
questions or matters."
Nevertheless, the assembly,
limited to the power of mak
ing mere recommendations,
has proved itself a formidable
force for keeping or restoring
peace in situations where the
veto-ridden Security Council
could do nothing.
One Vote Each
Eaoh of the U.N.'s 81 mem
bers has one vote in the as
sembly. Its decisions on any
but purely procedural mat
ters are taken by A two-thirds
vote. There is no veto, that
power being reserved to the
Big Five members in the Se
curity Council.
This means that with all
members voting 54 votes are
required to carry any resolu
tion put before the Assembly.
But U.N. members are not
required to cast simple "yes"
or "no" votes. They have also
the privilege of registering an
abstention. Such abstainers
are not counted in the over
all vote, and thus each ab
stention lowers the total re
quired for a two-thirds vote.
The United States hesitated
before taking the Middle East
question to the General As
sembly. With the nine-vote
Soviet bloc against it and
many of the 28-nation Afro-
Asian group opposed to the
landing of American troops in
Lebanon and British forces in
Jordan, qualified observers
frankly doubted that a two
thirds vote could be mustered
for any Western measure put
before the assembly. ,
Form Public Opinion
By the same token, how
ever, it appeared impossible
for Russia to gain a two-thirds
vote for any proposal it might
have. The result appeared
likely to be a stand-off with
the only harvest at first glance
seeming to be propaganda
benefits reaped from the
rostrum.
But the words spoken from
the rostrum often go to form
a weight of public opinion
which has been known to
sway the policy of govern
ments even of Soviet Rus
sia. Proceedings in the assembly
are on the formal side. Dele
gates have no microphones on
the long tables at which they
sit in their golden-sided hall.
They must go to the rostrum
at the front of the igloo
shaped theater to make even
a minor observation. Their
words are simultaneously
translated into the five of
ficial U.N. languages Eng
lish, French, Russian, Spanish
and Chinese through head
sets at each delegate's place.
On a high dais above the
speakers' rostrum sit the three
men who run the assembly.
Its president, currently Sir
Leslie Munro of New Zealand,
sits in the middle. On his
right sits Secretary-General
to win friends and influence

would have happened in that

De Gaulle Victory
Foreseen; Stable
Government Hoped
By ARTHUR HIGBEE
UPI Correspondent
Paris (UPD The momen
tum that carried Gen. Charles
de Gaulle to power last June
1 is expected to bring his
strong - executive constitution
into effect in a nationwide
vote Sept. 28. It is also expect
ed to sweep De Gaulle him
self into office a few days or
weeks later as the first presi
dent of the Fifth Republic.
Except for the Vichy re
gime, theonstitution will be
the least liberal that France
has had in nearly a century.
The key clauses give the
president the right to pick the
premier (whose job will be re
duced to that of executive of
ficer rather than chief execu
tive), to dissolve the parlia
ment as often as once a year,
and to take over executive
and legislative functions in
time of national emergency..
Fear Power Abuse
Who decides if an emer
gency exists? Under De Gaul
le's draft, it was the president
himself. But ex-Premier Paul
Reynaud persuaded De Gaulle
to leave this up to a constitu
tional court.
"It is not Gen. De Gaulle
we are afraid of," Reynaud
said. "He would never, in my
opinion, abuse the powers
granted him. But I have told
him we are not making the
constitution for one man."
He is one of the few men
who can talk to De Gaulle so
bluntly. Reynaud, 79, is the
premier who brought Brig.
Gen. De Gaulle into the gov
ernment in 1940 in a too late
attempt to stop the Nazi Pan
zer divisions.
Reynaud's reform, and
others, have eliminated some
of the most-criticized features
of De Gaulle's projected con
stitution. But people like ex-Premier
Pierre Mendes-France still say
that if it ever goes into effect,-
it will mean "a figure
head cabinet and a parliament
that is only a facade."
Despite such criticisms, De
Gaulle is expected to win
through. The world is fed up
with the spectacle that France
has made of herself in the
past 12 years.
Frenchmen Fed Up
But nobody could be more
fed up than Frenchmen them
selves. They have had govern
ment by whim of parliament
up to here.
Many of them feel that
nearly any change toward sta
bility would be a change for
the better. There will be many
who will argue that the new
constitution gives De Gaulle
the powers of a dictator.

Miami (UPD Tropical
storm Becky, gaining momen
tum in its westward march
over the Atlantic, swirled to

gin Islands today with winds
up to 55 miles per hour.
Gale warnings were ordered
up in the leeward islands for

the storm may reach full hur

The San Juan weather bu

Tuesday "if the storm con

125 miles north of Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands

A late weather advisory
said highest winds were esti
mated at 55 miles per hour in
the heavier squalls, and the
storm was moving west . to
west-north-westward at an ac
celerated speed of 20 miles

general direction for the next

Got Big Boost
The assembly's prestige in
war-and-peace questions re
ceived a big boost in 1950.
There will be more who will
argue that it does not or that,
if it does, it is preferable to
the circus of the past dozen
years. De Gaulle probably
will win. That leaves a couple
of questions unanswered:
What other Frenchman but
De Gaulle would be entrusted
with such powers, and what
will happen when he is gone.
More immediately what
about Algeria?
The present constitution, on
paper, provides stable govern
ment. But it did not stop every
French government in the
past years from coming to
grief over the Algerian rebel
lion. In the long run, unless
this issue is solved, it may
bring a quicker and more vio
lent end to the Fifth Republic
than it brought to the Fourth.

The End of the World
To the Editor: Why the end
of the world? It is very sim
ple, because the world is over
populated. Of course there are
people without children, but
every country has more chil
dren than it can feed and
bring up. The people are too
selfish, do just what they
want. Margaret Sanger travelr
ed all the way to China and
Japan and had some success,
for we like to live as long as
we can on this earth.
There comes an end to this
earth life, that is to say to the
temporary form oif body, but
never to life. That is ever
lasting. The three gods are yet
alive after thousands of years,
so is the devil, so is all life.
And these innocent children
are suffering forever. But
what do the parents care?
They had their fun. Any doc
tor can save them from suf
fering and themself from mis
ery. The world can be made
much happier, not to have to
kill each other and to steal
each other's possessions, love
each other instead of hating,
copying God instead of follow
ing that lying Satan with all
his so-called religion, hate and
sin, who through jealousy of
God and his truth, has ruined
this world and made unhappi
ness and wanted to bring it
to an end, and has nearly
succeeded.
Can this be stopped? Only
by the people who helped the
devil, who gave him more
power than they gave the
good Gdd.
Can we get the truth? Yes,
for some just got it, but we

John Foster Dulles, as a mem
ber of his delegation, the fore
man, in the- construction of
the "uniting for peace" resolu
tion adopted by the assembly
that year.
That resolution provides
that whenever the Security
Council cannot act because of
disagreement of the five per
manent members, a vote of
any seven council members
can order an emergency ses
sion of the assembly, which
"shall" be called within 24
hours.
That is the procedure being
used to transfer the current
Middle East turmoil from the
council to the assembly.
Without it, the assembly is
strictly forbidden by the
charter to discuss any dispute
which is before the council.
With it, the assembly in
1956 condemned Russia's bru
tal supression of the Hungar
ian revolt and established the
U.N. Emergency Force now
on duty in the Gaza Strip
which made possible the with
drawal of British, French and
Israeli forces in the Suez war
of the same year.

Why They Hunt Doves
v To the Editor: This is an
answer to the person t lia t
wanted to know why mourn
ing doves were on the game
list in this state. '
As I, too, had some doves
in myyard I became interest
ed in the subject.
An attempt to close the sea
son was made a couple of
years ago, principally through
the efforts of some of o u r
Granges. It might have suc
ceeded but the sportsmen
fought it tooth and nail. They
placed petitions in the sport
stores and everyone was ask
ed to sign them. The net re
sult was that we still have a
month's open season on doves
Sept. 1 through Sept. 28.
I read in a sportsmen's mag
azine that the reason hunters
like to shoot doves is because
their erratic flight when flush
ed make them a difficult and
challenging target. However,
hunters have informed me
that they do not fly any dif
ferent than any other game
bird. I am told that the real
reason they are hunted so vig
orously is that the dove sea
son precedes the pheasant
season and gives the hunter a
chance to practice up on his
shooting and also to poach a
few pheasants.
There is no more to them
than there is to a robin so
they are not shot primarily
for the meat.
There are only two alterna
tives that I can see to keep
the mourning dove from ex
tinction and those are, get
them placed on the song bird
list, which will automatically
protect them, or, get the game
commission to move the dove
season back of, or along with,
'the large bird season.
Hunters will not shoot
doves if they have a better
game bird to shoot.
