Coroners, who now do not have to be doctors, would be replaced by county or district health officers or a doctor ap pointed if-the health officer would not serve. AIR DEFENSE Ankara, Turkey-IEPD Gen.

CLOGSTON'S Metal Weather Stripping and Screens Estimates Gladly Phone SP 3-1014 Evenings TJorld Peace Through Law' Crusade Would Replace Political Maneuvering The American Bar associa tion's current "World Peace Through Law" crusade was discussed in an interview here Friday by Frank Van Dyke, Medford attorney. Van Dyke, former speaker of the House in the Oregon Legislature, was one of five Oregon attorneys represent ing the state bar association at a recent conference of West ern lawyers in connection with one crusade. The conference at San Fran cisco last week end, was one of a series sponsored by the ABA as preliminary steps to a proposed world conference in 1961. , "Mankind - has learned to apply the rule of law in do mestic affairs' within the con fines of most countries," Van Dyke stated. "There is no sound reason why machinery of government cannot be es tablished whereby internation al law would be accepted for settlement of international disputes." ' For example, Van Dyke said, "The Berlin problem is susceptible to settlement by international Jaw." Could Bo Settled He reported . that Herman Phleger, a San Francisco at torney, pointed out at the conference "that while many disputes leading toward war could be settled by interna t i o n a 1 law, governments choose to have them become political, not legal, disputes." Phleger, he said, cited the Suez crisis and the Quemoy situation as other examples. "The present system, of seeking peace through negotia tion and political maneuver is frought with danger," Van Dyke quoted Phleger as say ing. Van Dyke explained that the San Francisco conference was for the exchange of ideas rather than the passage of resolutions. But, he added, the "general consensus those attending supported the crusade. Equipped to Try The lawyers, he said, felt they had a duty to society and, at least, were equipped to try. He said the ABA's leadership in the crusade was generally accepted. Van Dyke reported that those at the conference agreed it was desirable to hold a series of regional conferences throughout the world, called by the ABA, prior to the world conference itself. The delegates also felt, he said, that the world conference should not be held in the United States. The Hague; where the In terna cional Court of Justice now sits, was considered a preferred site, Van Dyke said. Conference Agenda .-y As for the conference agen da, he continued, it was gen erally felt that concern with improving the present system for settling international dis-putes-rather than such sub jects as how to regulate inter national commerce-should be primary. Space Launchings Postponement Told Washington-flffD - Technical difficulties have forced post ponement of three U.S. space launchings scheduled for this spring, one of them an effort to fire a 'rocket to Venus. . The national aeronautics space administration said Fri day night the shot to Venus would be tried later. Official sources said the next likely time would be January 13, 1961. -:: The space agency had plan ned to launeh a Thor-Able and an Atlas-Able toward Venus on June 3 and June 4. . He explained that reluc tance to consider trade con trols arose from a fear "that Communist-dominated coun tries might use this as a springboard to claiming it was a United States device to gain better machinery for fleecing the rest of the world." It was generally felt," he said, that the Russians should be invited to the conference "without strings attached." Private Sources The lawyers in San Fran cisco also believed, for the most part, that private sources rather than the United States should finance the crusade, Van Dyke said. - Van Dyke explained that at present there exist in various nations of the world not only different laws, and systems of law, but wholly different con cepts of law. "We must seek areas of agreement," he said. He add ed that recent contracts be tween United States oil firms and Middle Eastern nations have been praised as one ex ample of a bridge between two systems of law. Regional Courts ' . ' v One approach to the prob lem of differing types of law, Van Dykfi said, would be to establish s. system of region al courts ; throughout the world- These courts? he ex plained, would apply to cases coming before ther; the laws accepted in that region. . The jurists themselves, he continued, would be men" fa miliar with these particular legal systems. ... But even more fundamen tal, according to Van Dyke, would be a general accep tance of certain basic princi ples of . human relationships "applicable throughout the entire world." Individual Responsibility One principle of particular interest would be that of in dividual, as . opposed to na- i ...

As Van Dyke outlined it, if any indi vidual's or group's conduct threatened world peace in their own country or in a world war, that individual or group alone should be held re sponsible. The major roadblock to the United States', participation acceptance of world law is the Connally Reservation, Van Dyke stated. By this reserva tion insisted upon in the U.S. Senate, the United States re serves in each case the right to decide whether the Inter national Court of Justice has jurisdiction. "In our concept of law," Van Dyke said, "the court de cides the matter of jurisdic tion, not the litigant." Or, in the words of Charles S. Rync, chairman of the ABA's Com mittee on World '.. Peace Through Law and leader of the crusade, "This reservation violates the age-old principle that no man should judge his own case." The ABA has gone on rec ord favoring repeal of the Connally Reservation, Van Dyke said.

Sheriff Iver Johnson identi fied the victims as Joseph Pat rick Greco, 21, Rockford, and Donald L. Burton, 21, whose pocket cards showed he had lived in a variety of places in cluding Detroit and Grand Rapids, Mich., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis. Johnson said Burton had an arrest rec ord dating back to 1954 in Rockford. Both bodies had deep bruises on the throat, indicat ing they were Strangled , with rope or wire. Authorities said there appeared to have been a struggle before the men were killed. The bodies were discovered by Deputy Sheriffs Robert Allen and Lester Krug when they stopped to make a rou tine check of a car spotted on the shoulder of the road about four miles southwest of here. Krug said hundreds of pairs of fixed dice were found in a carrying case in the back seat of the car, and the glove com partment was packed with decks of cards. Johnson said the men obviously had been killed somewhere else and the car containing their bodies driven to the lonely side road.

Blight Common Trouble in Peonies Blight is one of the most common peony troubles dur ing wet spring weather in home gardens, Don Berry, county horticulture agent, said Saturday. ' The disease attacks, both the buds and young shoots, and is one of the common reasons in failure of peonies to bloom. Buds generally blast, and young shoots suddenly wilt, turn black and fall over, Berry said. Cutting out infected por tions and spraying with a weak copper, one tablespoon per gallon of water, will help in the spring. Repeat sprays are needed, he said. Fcr good year around con trol, sanitary measures are advisable, he said. Cutting off and burning stalks in the fall, and promptly removing in fected shoots in the spring, as well as diseased buds, flowers and leaves during the, season, is advisable.

Ellender (D-La.) says his Public Works Appro priations subcommittee is "not going to pay any attention" to President Eisenhower's ban on new starts of reclamation projects. Sen. Hugh Scott (RrPa.), who was among witnesses who testified in favor of several new Pennsylvania projects Friday, supported Ellender's statement as a bipartisan Con gressional revolt broke out against Eisenhower's ban. Rep. David S. King (D-Utah) told a House Appropriations subcommittee the Administra tion's policy was like issuing a decree of "no more births." King was among a group of western congressmen from both parties who asked their Public f Works subcommittee at a closed session for money to finance water projects in their states.' Reps. Al Ullman and Edith Green, Oregon Democrats, Hamer Budge (R-Idaho) and Ralph J. Rivers (D-Alaska) al so testified in support of an accelerated reclamation program.: TV SOLUTION ' Manchester, England- (DPD -Detectives watched with deep absorption as a documentary program on crime was tele vised Friday night.
