SEATO Faced With Serious Challenge; Hampers Freedom By K. C. Thaler United Press International London (CPU SEATO, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organ ization, has been confronted with a severe challenge that may seriously hamper its free dom of action against Com munist subversion in the treaty area. The challenge has come from SEATO's secretary gen eral, Nai Pote Sarasin, who declared subversive activities the responsibility of a mem ber country's own national forces. Sarasin, a former provision al prime minister of Thailand who is on an official visit of Australia, was reported from Canberra today to have term ed political coups a "domestic affair" of the country in which they occur, which could not involve other members. It appears this interpreta tion would limit SEATO's right of intervention, for in stance, in the event of a Communist-engineered or backed coup in a member country. The issue has been spot lighted by the recent Baghdad coup which confronted the Baghdad Pact nations with the crucial question of wheth er or not to intervene in Iraq when a rebel regime over threw the Feisal government. Opposed Iraq Intervention The Baghdad nations came to the conclusion at a meet ing in London a fortnight ago against intervention because the rebel regime was consid ered to have the support of the people of Iraq and because it was held to be in full con trol of the country. Also it at once pledged itself to honor existing international commit ments. Sarasin now reportedly holds the view that a political coup in a SrJViu mem per country, in principle, would hot involve other members. Other member nations could not take action unless they were asked by the threatened government. Even then, they would not be obliged to go to its aid under the treaty ar rangements, he stated, accord ing to the reports today. Some observers argued that if, for example, a Communist coup should remove the rul ing regime in a SEATO coun try by a lightning stroke, the "threatened government" would no longer have a chance to invoke SEATO as sistance. Arouse Considerable Interest There would be, in this in terpretation no room for SEATO intervention, even if the ousted regime could have invoked it. Douglas H.

W Ashland Children Narrowly Missed By Heavy Trucks Ashland Two Ashland children narrowly escaped se rious injury and possible death earlier this week in inci dents involving trucks. Tuesday evening a twc-and a half-year-old girl turned and ran the other way when she saw a truck headed in her direction. The unattended truck roll ed down Iowa st., smashed through the carport at the Alvin J. Brown home, 295 Iowa st., crossed the patio, and came to rest in the dining room of the Fred Frederick home, 235 Hillcrest. Damage to the two houses was esti mated at $3,450. Early the following morn ing Robert Cope, three-year- old son of Dr. and Mrs. B. A. Cope, 717 Roca st. Was nearly struck by a truck while strolling about the city be fore 4:30 o'clock. A truck driver told police he swerved his vehicle to avoid hitting what he thought to be a dog in the street. Robert, unmissed by his parents, was found by a pri vate citizen. The boy, wear ing only a T shirt and carry ing a wet diaper was taken to the police station. After lengthy questioning officers determined that Robert's last name was Cope, and called his surprised parents. When questioned, the ad venturist revealed that he was on his way to visit a lady who frequently baby sits for the family. These views have been re ceived with considerable in terest in government quarters. Britain appears to. agree with the broad outlines of this interpretation of SEATO's Thai secretary general. A Foreign Office spokesman let it be understood that he had' "no quarrel" with this viewpoint. But views within the treaty organization were expected to be divided. Some of the Western SEATO nations were expect ed to accept the interpretation only with considerable reser vations. The text of the treaty itself is hazy on this point, accord ing to expert opinion. Drivers Licenses Suspended Listed Salem The department of motor vehicles has released names of 373 drivers whose licenses were ordered sus pended during the period be ginning Aug. 4 and ending Aug. 8. Length of suspension varies, depending on charges in volved, recommendation of court, discretionary action by the department or require ments of Oregon law. The de partment said some of the licenses involving financial re sponsibility and court recom mendations may have been re-instated after suspension was ordered. The department warned drivers that the penalty for driving while suspended is a jail sentence of no less than two days and up to six months, and there may be imposed a fine up to $500. Under licens ing procedures, this will also result in an additional year of suspension.

She should tell her mother off. Mildred S. I am 25 and have been married eight years. I have three children and I'm old enough, I hope, to have a right to my own life. My mother doesn't seem to think I have any rights at all. She thinks she still owns me and that what's mine is hers. She takes over my home and children whenever she feels like it: The other day four of her friends arrived at my house unexpectedly. They said my mother invited them and was supposed to meet them there. I just don't feel I can take it any longer. I have begged my husband to pull up stakes and get us to another com munity so I don't have to deal with my mother. He re fuses to do this. Lionel S. It has taken me eight full years to get where I want in the firm' I am work ing for. Mildred says I can get a job somewhere else. Maybe. But she doesn't under stand how you have to fight to get into the position you want. Besides, it seems crazy to me that we should have to move from a . home we like because we've got to run away from a senseless old woman. Why can't Mildred tell her MAJESTY ANOTHER GREAT CADILLAC TRADITION Traveling a boulevard, or simply standing in wait for its owner, a Cadillac has a majesty of bearing that is uniquely its own. It comes of brilliant beauty, of great stature, and of perfect taste' in styling. We invite you to inspect these virtues in 3Tour favorite Cadillac soon. Your dealer will be happy to assist you. STANDARD OF THE WORLD FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY 1 We i l mmmm VISIT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED CADILLAC DEALER SKINNER - BUICK- CAD ILL AC 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE m i FOtWAftD mom ffnr off once and for all. When I tell her to do that she says, "Oh, I could never talk like that to my mother." What it comes to is that be cause Mildred is too scared to talk back to her mother, we have to pay through the nose. The Council: We agree with Lionel that running away to another community is no way to tackle the problem of a domineering mother. What's to stop Mother from running after? This problem should, be dealt with in a forthright manner. This does not mean to "tell Mother off" or even to "talk back." Drastic methods would not be necessary at all if Mildred were able to be have in a firm, clear-minded manner. ' Unfortunately, Mildred is still a frightened child in re lation to her mother. This may be partly her mother's fault, but it is also her own. She has been hiding a lot of the re sentment she feels toward her mother deep in her heart. Some of it may be rightful resentment and some may be just a carry-over from a pat tern of early childhood. It is time for Mildred to separate reasonable anger from the unreasonable kind and to face her mother hon estly and plainly about some aspects of their relationship. She has every right to tell her mother that she cannot permit her home to be used as a waiting depot for the older woman's friends. She must tell her' mother that her home and her chil dren are her own domain and she will tolerate no intrusion. The older woman may be up set at first, but if she loves her daughter and has some judg ment she will soon see the justice of Mildred's position. Mildred can't now speak "to her mother honestly because she fears the full impact of her anger will be unleashed if she allows any anti - Mother emotion to escape. But if she gets a little of it off her chest in a reasonable cause, she may find that some of her more loving feelings to ward her mother will rise to the surface and the. two women will be able to enjoy a more peaceful relationship.
