Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1960 UN Becoming Werld Force, Dr. Walter Tells Local Group Dr. Austin Walter, head of ;, Oregon State college political science department, ended a series of speaking engage ments here Wednesday night : when he addressed the Med- : ford Chapter of the Oregon : United Nations association. He had addressed the Med ford Rotary club at a lunch- eon Tuesday, then spoke again at an assembly at Southern Oregon college Wednesday morning. Addressing the 65 people at the OUNA meeting, Dr. Walter pointed out why the United Nations is suddenly being emphasized as a potent world force. Since the UN was founded 15 years ago, almost 40 new nations have been admitted Into the organization. The , new members make it im possible for the major world powers to control the UN. It is now realized throughout the world that the UN is not an international government which will infringe on the sovereignty of individual na . tions, but instead the UN of fers a meeting place and the means for -solving interna tional problems. Give Foreign Aid Through the United Na tions, the United States can give foreign aid without sub jecting itself to the criticism that there are political strings attached to its aid programs. This will, in the future, probably be this country's main activity with the UN, he said. Speaking on the UN Po lice Force, Dr. Walter said the force will be effective so long as it is realized that they are not coercive forces, and that they occupy certain areas to prevent those areas from being exploited by any one power. He listed 6,000 UN troops in the Gaza strip, UN observers in Lebanon, UN fact fingers in Laos, and the 17,000 or 18,000 troops in the Congo. Of all the UN forces in the Congo, Dr. Walter pointed out that the 250 technicians there will accomplish more than the troops. The Connally amendment also was mentioned at the meeting, and it was blamed for the UN not being more successful than it is. This amendment states that the International Court of Justice cannot adjudicate over cases In the United States unless the United States gives its permission. The amendment makes the Court of Justice ineffectual not only in the United States, but also gives Iron Curtain countries an excuse not to respect the International Court, Dr. Walter said. Ways of Life In reference to the Iron Curtain countries during the question and answer period, Dr. Walter said that the con flict is not simply one of capitalism against commun ism, it is a competition of ways of life. It is the people who have grown up with the Western Heritage of democ racy against people who have never had a chance to rule! themselves. It is "evolution ary socialism" with democ racy such as in Great Britain, against "state socialism" in a ," police state.

Five Vehicles Are Involved in Two Accidents in Area Two automobile accidents involving five vehicles were reported to Oregon state po lice Wednesday. Taken to Rogue Valley hos pital for treatment of bruises was Kim Hassell, 4-year-old daughter of Kenneth Edgar Hassell, 43, of 11 Beach St., Ashland, a passenger in one of three vehicles involved in an accident about 7:20 a.m. Wednesday on Highway 99 south of Phoenix. According to state police, operators of the vehicles were Howard James Wood, 32, of 135 Iowa st., Ashland, Glen Donald German, 50, of Grants Pass, and Hassell. Wood told police the brake on the right front wheel of his station wagon locked, causing him to cross the cen ter line and hit the German sedan. The impact caused the vehicle to hit the vehicle op erated by Hassell. No Citations Issued The German car was re ported demolished. The oth er two vehicles received mi nor damage. No citations were issued. Two vehicles were involved in an accident on Highway 99 near Foots Creek about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police said a vehicle op erated by Peter Anthony Mei- rose, Portland, was north bound when he slowed the vehicle for a car in front. A car following the Meirose ve hicle swerved off the highway to avoid hitting the vehicle and the Meirose car was hit by a car operated by Charlotte Faye Unruh, 1325 Camp Bak er rd. Police informed Charlotte Unruh that a complaint would be filed against her in Gold Hill justice court charg ing her with following too close. No Wreckage Found In Siskiyou Search Yreka - Siskiyou County Sheriff Al Cottar, a sheriff's deputy and a fish game war den searched the Ash Creek area and Ash Creek falls in Siskiyou county on the east side of Mt. Shasta Wednesday for possible plane wreckage which had been reported in the area. No wreckage was found, it was reported. Cottar believed that sun shining on the rocks at the base of the falls, the tallest in Siskiyou county, might have appeared to have been metal. A private plane en route to Modesto, Calif., from Belling ham, Wash., has been missing in the area since August. beauty of service Try and -By BENNETT CERF- JACK BENNY tells about a hypochondriac who pestered his doctor until the latter prescribed soma pink pills for him. "These are potent pills," cautioned the doctor, "so be absolutely sure you never take more than three a day." A month later the wor rier was back, looking ju bilant for a change. "Those pills were just the ticket, Doc," he enthused. "They've cured me of everything." The doctor chuckled. "Now you can know," he said, "that those pills contained, nothing but bread." "Holy mackerel!'' screamed the worrier. "White or whole wheat?" Las Vegas authorities don't like to see customers lose mare at the gaming tables than they can afford. That's the way to get them back again next year! The prize suckers, authorities know, are the ones who turn up with "sure-fire" intricate systems guaranteed to beat roulette, or "21". They have an old saying in Vegas: 'The average player is welcome here, whether ha comes by car or rail; for the player with a. system, however, we will send a private plane." 1960, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by Kine Features Syndicate In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS We listened the other night to a debate between Senator Kennedy, the Demo cratic nominee for President in this Iflfifl nnmnaiffn. and Vice Pres ident Nixon, the Reoublican nominee. It was interesting in itself and, as a political tech nique, it was even more in tprestinp heeause of the tra dition of the Lincoln-Douglas debates a century ago, wlucn were the curtain raiser for the most critical election in our history. Between the two, there is this difference-which is worth remembering: TW Lincoln - Douglas de- hatps (nf which there were seven) revolved around a PRINCIPLE. The Kennedv-Nixon debates (of which Monday night's was the first of four) revolve around MEN. THE question of extending slnverv into free territory was thp main subiect of the Lincoln - Douglas discussion, nnnoina arpnpH that the oeo- ple of a n y territory could keep slavery out of tnat terri tory by VOTING IT OUT. Lincoln held that the U. S. supreme court, in the Dred Scott decision, naa openea me wav fnr slnvprv tn enter ALL THE TERRITORIES, regard less of the will of the innao itants. Thus the lines were drawn around an ISSUE. The MEN were relatively unimportant. Thprpin lies the significant difference between the Lin coln-Douglas debates and tne Kennedy-Nixon debates. T INCOLN and Douglas were rival candidates for tne oi- pp nf U. S. senator from Illinois. To that extent, the contest between them was a LOCAL contest. But it drew the lines for the national elec tion of 1860. In . the Illinois election, Douglas won. But throughout thp . cnmnaien Lincoln made much of the MORAL issue, insisting that the fundamental difference between himself and Douglas was that Douglas did not care whether slavery was voted up or down, while ho iT.inrnlnl looked on it as "a moral, social, and political evil." Th Illinois senatorial cam paign of 1858 established Lin coln as the leader of the anti slavery North and in 1860 he was chosen as the candi date of the newly-born Re publican party. The rest is hietnrv. Lincoln was elected, and a few months later the South seceded and the War Between the States was on. w HY all this forking over of ancient straw? It's like this: Tn manv wavs. this Politi cal campaign of 1960 is as critically important to our na tion as was the political cam paign of 1860. We are facing thp nnssihllitv of a war that once started would be a fight to the finish. We are neavuy in debt as a result of reckless over-spending. It isn't impos sible that this political cam paign of 1960 could degener ate Into contest to see which candidate could promise to spend the most. Sn far. It looks like a pop ularity contest between two able and attractive young men. In the first of the 1960 Kennedy - Nixon debates in Chicago Monday night, that possibility seemed to stare us in the face. MAYBE, In later debates, PRINCIPLES will play a larger part. If, as the weeks pass, It should develop that the Re publican party, led by Mr. Nixon, proposes to stand fast for FISCAL RESPONSIBILI TY, whereas it appears that the Democrats, led by Mr. Kennedy, are proposing fis cal IRRESPONSIBILITY as a means of giving everybody everything he wants et gov- Stop Me 13 eminent expense, we will have PRINCIPLES AT STAKE - as did our fore fathers a century ago in the contest between Lincoln and Douglas. Personally, I hope that conies to pass. These times are too grave for us to run a national election campaign along the lines of a queen contest at the county fair. Laos To Permit Russian Embassy Saigon - (UPD - The Laofian government has decided to es tablish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and permit the Russians to open an embassy in Vientiane, the official Vientiane Radio an nounced today.
