State Bar Seeks;
To Stop Illegal
Practice of Law .
The Oregon State Bar has
filed suit in Jackson county
circuit court seeking an in
junction against Margaret
Naples, doing business as the
M and M Agency, Central
Point.
The Bar seeks the injunc
tion to permanently enjoin
Mrs. Naples from engaging in
the practice of law, according
to the complaint.
The Bar charges that Mrs.
Naples has for several years
prepared wills, real and per
sonal property contracts,
mortgages, deeds, convey
ances, releases, ; satisfactions
and similar documents affect
ing the legal rights of resi
dents. ' '
Specific Cases
Two specific cases, one in
volving a will and the other
a real property contract, for
which Mrs. Naples received
a fee ior counsel, advice and
services performed, are cited
by the Bar.
The complaint said the prac
tices of Mrs. Naples in offer
ing legal counsel and advice
are "illegal, unauthorized,
and constitute a present and
serious risk of injury and
harm,' financial 1 and other
wise, to citizens."
The complaint said her
practices also endanger the
administration of justice, and
tend to becloud and Interfere
with the certainty of title and
rights in real and personal
property and "jeopardize the
reason able expectations of
citizens ... as to the legal
consequences of acts and docu
ments." The Bar noted in the com
plaint that its board of gover
nors can authorize legal pro
ceedings to prevent the prac
tice of law within the state
by persons not duly licensed
to practice law for the pro
tection of the public.

Nothing New
In Ike's Speech,
Russian Asserts
Khrushchev Plans
Reply on Friday
United Nations, N.Y. - (UPD -
A high Russian official said
today there was "nothing
new" in President Eisenhow
er's policy speech to the U.N.
General Assembly today and
that Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev would deliver a
full reply to it Friday.
Most of the delegates had
received Eisenhower's appeal
for African economic and
technical aid and an end to
Soviet meddling in The Con
go soberly and quietly, glad
that it was comparatively free
of cold war propaganda.
The first reaction was a
welcome from most for the
five - point African program
and his expression of solid
support for the policies of
Secretary-General Dag Ham
marskjold, who has been un
der almost continuous Soviet
attack for three months.
Khrushchev, who listened
without reaction and did not
applaud, was not available for
comment. But a Kremlin of
ficial close to the Soviet pre
mier said the speech was
"moderate In tone."
Full Reply Promised
The Russian official said
all of the Eisenhower pro
posals had been advanced be
fore and that Khrushchev Fri
day "will deal formally with
all of Eisenhower's sugges
tions.
Khrushchev had led a pa
rade of world leaders into the
United Nations to hear Eisen
hower speak, Before the
President got started there
was a reunion between Khru
shchev and President Tito of
Yugoslavia and a three-way
nHeeting between them and
Cuba's Fidel Castro.
The President was not in
terrupted at all as he spoke
in a deliberately pitched
minor key to diplomats and
heads of government from 96
countries.
He was greeted as he step
ped from behind the rostrum
to start his speech with 35
seconds of warm applause.
The applause was loud and
sustained for a minute when
he -finished. But there was
no standing ovation and the
Russians sal silent through
out. Delegates welcomed his
program for African aid, a
point purposely pitched to
forestall Khrushchev's aim for
a political and territorial grab
of the continent.
Most of all, observers
agreed, the initial reaction of
the delegates was appreciation
of the President's refusal to
cram a propaganda campaign
into the keynote speech of
this crucial assembly session.
Delegates believed Eisen
hower had effectively deliver
ed in advance of Khrush
chev's speech an address
which undermined any pos
sibility the Russians would
have of scoring major propa
ganda points on the well
worn, anti-Western themes of
the Kremlin.
Eisenhower left the assem
bly the same way he had
entered - through the office
of Assembly President Fred
erick H. Boland of Ireland -to
avoid meeting Khrushchev.
Stares at President
During Eisenhower's speech
Khrushchev stared intently at
the President with no change
of expression when the Presi
dent asked foreign powers to
stop interfering in Congo af
fairs. He also apparently was
unmoved when Eisenhower
said he hoped Russia would
give insurances of nonaggres
slon. Castro doodled through
out. When Eisenhower finished,
Khrushchev again did not ap
plaud. Castro, who had greet
ed Eisenhower with a few
polite hand claps, did not join
the applause. Neither did
Hungarian Communist boss
Janos Kadar. Tito applauded
briefl; from a seat directly be
hind Khrushchev.
Tito followed Elsenhower
to the rostrum and strongly
criticized Western policies in
Europe and in Africa. He said
they had brought the world
to its "eleventh hour."

FIVE-POINT PLAN
OFFERED TO AID
AFRICAN
United Nations. N.Y.
senhower today called on
in Tne Congo and to help trie united JNations
carry out a five-point program he proposed to
assist new African nations to build in freedom.
He said Soviet secrecy added to the pressing
danger of "war by miscalculation" and urged the
Soviets to join in disarmament talks designed to
halt the global arms race and prevent its spread
into space
The Chief Executive sug-i
gested that the United Na
tions declare the moon and
other celestial bodies "off
limits" for any warlike ac
tivities and ban weapons of
mass destruction from outer
space.
These were among 15 pro
posals the President made in
a "state-of-the-world" address
to the U.N. General Assembly
attended by Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev and a host
of other foreign leaders.
Supports United Nations
Other highlights of the
President's speech:
He warned that the Unit
ed Nations should not be used
as a propaganda forum by
any country, and voiced all
out U.S. support for the world
body.
He called for immediate
Soviet-American talks to dis
cuss ways to halt production
of fissionable materials for
nuclear weapons, and for re-

sumption of East-West dis
armament negotiations broken
off last June.
He urged adoption of a
"food-for-peace" plan to aid
needy nations by supplying
surplus foocjs under the aus
pices of the United Nations.
The President,, expressing
support for U.N. efforts to aid
the crisis-ridden Congo, said
the U.N. has been "flagrantly
attacked by. a few nations
which wish to prolong strife
. . , for their own selfish
reasons." ,
Must Resist Pressures 1
He warned that the Uniled
Nations must resist "outside
pressures'-obviously from the
Soviet bloc-that imperil the
freedom of newly emerging
African states.
"Any nation, seduced , by
glittering promises into be
coming a catspaw for an im
perialistic power, thereby un
dermines the United Natons
and places in jeopardy the In
dependence of itself and oth
ers," Eisenhower warned. ,
