This dispatch outlines the impact the new nations may have In the United Nations, alon- with a description of the countries. By HUGH WATERFIELD London -IUP1I- On July 1. there will be six new national flags fluttering under the hot blue African sky, along with six new applicants for mem bership in the United Nations. Assuming they a'l are ac cepted, this will raise the membership of the world or ganization to 90 nations, of which 17 will be African states. Before the end of this month, eight African coun tries will have achieved inde pendence and a ninth on July Mrs. Neuberger Asks Federal Campaign Help Newport, Ore. -IDPM- Mrs. Maurine Neuberger today asked stricter regulation of campaign expenditures and for federal help in financing political campaigns. Mrs. Neuberger, Democrat ic candidate for the U. S. Sen te seat held by her late hus band, told Lincoln county Democratic women that most voters did not realize the vast sums of money which modern political campaigns require. "Television," she said, "can be prohibitively expensive and yet it, has become .an in dispensable tool in modern campaigning. Such enormous expenditures in a campaign can lead lo a candidate enter ing into obligations and com mitments in conflict with the public interest." TV Proposal Endorsed She endorsed a proposal to grant free prime TV time to each of the major presidential candidates, and also said she favored enactment of legisla tion to have the federal gov ernment help finance cam paigns for Congress and for President. "Victory in an election should not go to the candidate with the most money, the highest paid ghost writers, the fanciest campaign parapher nailia, the most confetti, or the biggest public relations and advertising staff," she said.

Nine African countries will have achieved independence. Three of these have agreed to federate. Two have agreed to merge. (UPI Tclephoto) 1. Three of these, members of the French community, have agreed in advance to federate. Two others, one Ital ian - administered and one British, have voted to merge. Africa will be overhauling Asia and pulling up fast on Latin America as the largest geographical group in the UN. Could Be Largest This increase of African membership could make the Afro-Asian group substantial ly the largest bloc in the UN, with a membership of 27, com pared with 21 Latin Ameri can countries. Before the end of the year, African membership in the UN is likely to be further increased by the addition of Nigeria and four more mem bers of the French commu nity. Thus, if they can reach agreement on controversial is sues, the African bloc could wind up controlling more than one-third of the total UN membership, with the result that the General Assembly would be unable to pass a resolution on a matter of im portance against their united Errol Flynn's Estate Sued New York -IUNI- The late Errol Flynn lured teen-aged blonde actress Beverly Aad land into "moral debauchery and sex orgies, and taught her a lewd, wanton and wayward way of life," it was charged Monday in a $5 million suit against his estate. The suit charged the swash buckling star overpowered the 15-ycar-old girl with h i s charm and worldly experience and "roused within her deep, unripened passions and unnat ural desires inimical to the interests, welfare and fulfill ment of her normal youth." The action was brought in state Supreme Court by the now 17 -year -old Beverly's c o u r t appointed guardian Howard F. Trussel of New York. It named as defendants Flynn's estranged wife Pa tricia Wymore, and Justin M. Gollenbock and Louis Gross man, the temporary adminis trators of Flynn's estate. The actor died last Oct 14 in Vancouver. B.C., where he had gone to sell his yacht. The estate has been variously re ported as worth from $100,000 to $1 million. TRAINING-QUICKER! A Better Job Sooner! YOU CAN HAVE BOTH!

Big in Area Another French territory the Mali Federation, made up of Senegal and the French Sudan - recently achieved in dependence. Mali is a sprawl ing northwest African terri tory two and a half times the size of Texas, but with a population of just under seven million. One of the new countries is Madagascar, the world's fifth largest island. Madagascar, whose last queen, Hova, sur rendered lo the French in 1896, has an area of 228,000 square miles - two and a half times the size of Great Brit ain - and a population of six million. Other French communities granted freedom are Chad, the Central African Republic, the French Congo and Gabon. The first three have decided to federate into the Union of Equatorial African Slates, which will adopt the shorter name of the Equatorial Union. East Africa got its first in dependent state on June 26 when British Somaliland was rushed into independence al most as fast as the Belgian Congo, from direct colonial rule by Britain only a year ago. Await Big Event Four more French territo ries - the Ivory Coast, the Volta Republic, Dahomey and Niger Republic - also are ad vancing towards independence this year. But the event of the year in Africa, from the point of view of its long-term impact, comes on Oct. 1, when the British Federation of Nigeria hoists its independence flag. Nigeria's last census, 10 years ago, showed its popula tion was 32 million. A nat ural rale of increase would put it at 38 million today. Up to now, the leading state in Africa has been the white-ruled Union of S o u t h Africa. But Nigeria, with a population more than three times that of the Union and with its vast mineral resourc es, wealth in oil and rapidly expanding industries, is ex pected lo wield considerable power in Africa. BUSINESS Local Man Has Eye Surgery in Portland A Medford man was one of the first patients to bene fit from a gift by the Oregon Stale Elks association to the University of Oregon's Med ical school's ophthalmology department. The gift was a pewerful electromagnet, costing $1,500. used to draw out metal splin ters which have accidentally lodged in the eye. Gene Roethler, 357 Cerritos ave., owner and operator of Reothlcr 'Shell Service, Sixth and Front sts., returned last week from Portland where he had eye surgery June 17. Two previous operations had failed to recover the metal splinter. The electromagnet was do nated to the medical school last month.

Needs Listed During the coming year Dr. Roland Bartel, a university professor of English who is state coordinator for the Ore gon Council on Advanced Placement, will spend 50 per cent of his time on council business. Dr. Bartel believes ad vanced placement will aid high schools as well as col leges, and it will give the brighter student the opportu nity of passing more swiftly to advanced students. He states, however, that for the program lo be successful, there m u s t be: Qualified teachers in the high schools who can give college level instruction; time for advanced placement teachers to prepare for more advanced work; a willingness on the part of touch, mini 1 1 null iiir-Tn ' B.':w,iwi' """iKiiiai. iiiWv.vv. v .;.( .:..mm -T" 7 aid to Northwest - packs will carry BREWING.

A few high schools in the stale are already offering ad vanced placement. The newly formed council will facilitate operation of the present cours es and make it possible for more schools to participate. Most of the four-year col leges in Oregon arc now in the program. A high school entering the program may participate in as few or as many courses as it chooses. The logical place to start in is the area where the school has its strongest teachers, Bartel points out. Schools will have consid erable latitude in setting up courses. Recommendations are available from a national of fice or from participating col leges. One of the key features of the program is the special na tional examination on the ba sis of which colleges give placement or credit or both. And while any college student may take this examination, Bartel stresses that students who have taken college level work will be most likely to come out best. Got College Credit The 1959 freshman class of the University of Oregon in cluded 44 students who had completed college-level cours es in high school, he said. The university gave college credit WASH.

Bartel remarks that "one, of the consequences of enroll ment pressures in higher edu cation is that colleges will look more and more to the high schools to take over some of the present freshman courses.
