D THURSDAY. MAY 31. 1962 MEDEpHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Peace Pipe Might Be Helpful in UN By DONALD JOHNSTON United Press International United Nations - Itlrl) - Dur-' ing a heated debate in the United Nations, a delegate re marked that "maybe we should try smoking a peace pipe." Whether this aid tribal practi;e of settling disputes would work in the U.N. is a moot question but the world organization at least has some peaefpipes it could fall back on. The pipes are gifts sent by tribal groups in Africa and elsewhere as signs of support and solidarity with the U.N. They are deposited in the U.N. archives along with tri bal masks, small canoes, re ligious symbols, silk screens, candelabra and other token gifts which flow into the U.N. regularly. "These gift!) have little monetary value, but they are expressions of support, faith and hope in the United Na tions by peoples all over the world," said David B. Vaughan, Director of General Services, the depart ment which deals with U.N. prop erty and possessions. "We have had some offers of land, but these almost al ways are impractical from our standpoint and must be rejected," he said. "We have private contributions of money coming in all the time, and of course the material donations to head quarters buildings run into tens of thousands of dollars." Perhaps the most notable gift is the new $6.2 million library. Named for the late Secretary General Dug Ham marskjold; the library was constructed with funds do nated by the Ford Founda tion. Many cash gifts are small $1, $5, or $10, and come un solicited from average people who merely wish to express their belief in the U.N. Large numbers of Quakers, how ever, donate 1 per cer.t of their Incomes as a pledge of faith in the United Nations. This idea of "self-lax" was originated by Mrs. Thorton M. Price, wife of a University of Arizona professor, in 1959 Last November, Mrs. Wayne Elwood of Palo Alto, Calif., sent a $1,000 check saying she preferred to give the money to the United Na tions rather than spend it on a fallout shelter. A month later a group of private indi viduals in Chapel Hill, N.C., sent $1,600 as the "i-st install ment of a sum which ulti mately will add up to what fallout shelter would have cost each of them to build. The regular Quaker dona tions and other cash gifts are set aside for technical assis tance of Children's Fund pro) ccts. The U.N. recently turned down with thanks and regret a parcel of Wisconsin farm land offered by Emil Matalek a 32-year-old bachelor who thinks greed causes many world problems. "We certainly appreciated his generosity and spirit, Vaughan said, "but the United Nations just could not use a piece of land in the-Wisconsin countryside. U.N- headquarters is full of gifts, both practical'and dec orative. Some have been do nated by organizations and individuals, such as 178 flowering cherry trees from Mrs. Albert D. Lasker and $50,000 for a plaza fountain pool from school children through the American Associ ation for the U.N. Most of the gifts have come from governments, however, ranging from furnishings tor a whole conference room from Britain to an "unbreakable" olive wood gavel from Tu nisia for the President of the General Assembly.

GARAGE 20i23 By HIAWATHA ESTES The family with a limited building budget will find much to recommend the se lection of this simple but handsome rectangular house. The exterior is attractive from all angles and will meet tlie most exacting tests for good modern design. Most garage walls facing the street add very little to the over all appearance of the house. To eliminate this problem, board-on-board vertical siding plus stone veneer pilasters have been used here. The pil asters are framed between vertical wood members. Low stone planters are located at each side of the garage wall. The floor plan is a good example of how to achieve spaciousness in a small house. The plan Is so arranged that traffic will flow in and out of this house easily. From the Complete working drawings for mis plan can De purcnasen ai a cost of S7.50 for the first set, and $3 for each additionaj set when ordered at the same time.

Protestants Asked To Adopt en Offensive Against Accusation! By CLARE COX United Press International New York - (ITD - A call has gone out to the nation's Protestants to drop their de fensive attitude toward charges linking the church with Comm.unism and adopt an offensive against such accusations. Nearly every major P- testant ody has appealed to its members to fight commu nism with positive action and, as a beginning, learn some- hing about communism it self. The United Lutheran Church in America has round ed up the pronouncements and programs of several bodies in a study packet titled Confronting Communism. It includes statements by the National Council of Churches, the American Luth eran Church, The Protestant Epis copal Church and the United Church of Christ, as well as by the editors of The Chris tian Century, a leading non denominational Protestant weekly. "As communism makes in creasing inroads among the people of the earth, our nerves are wearing thin and we are tempted to look for a quick decisive act that will re move this threat once and for all," the United Lutherans said. "Some believe that the elimination of communism will by itself cure most of the social, political and eco nomic ills that plague human ity today. "Concern for this problem is shared by many church people-Christians who, above and beyond their opposition to communism on a political basis, recognize it as an id eology that runs counter to the Christian faith in its un derstanding of man. Increas ingly they seek guidance as they- attempt to understand their Christian witness in the face of this issue. "In their search for an swers many have come under the influence of certain not very responsible groups that have mushroomed in this country during recent years." All the groups urge posi tive action against commu nism through advocacy of so cial reform, encouragement of patriotism and widespread missionary activity. Christians can coexist with communists even as they can with Buddhists and Mos lems," "The Christian Cen tury said. "But Christianity and communism cannot co exist in the sme person any more then Christianity can share the same disciple with Buddhism or Islam. Christian ity and communism are im placable foes, but Christians and communsts are not nec- France To Draft Eifropeaa Youths Active in Algiers Algiefs -tOTl- A new law went into effect today ena bling France to draft Euro pean youths into the French army to prevent them from joining the outlawed Secret Army Organization (OAS). The move was aimed at cutting down OAS terrorist bands that have spread vio lence across Algeria in a cam paign to sabotage the French Algerian peace accords. Stu dents have provided the most solid support for the OAS since the abortive generals' revolt in April, 1961. Centers of Terrorism All 19 - year old French youths in the Algiers and Or an regions are to be drafted. Algiers and Oran, Algeria's two biggest cities, are the major centers of European terrorism. At least 21 persons died and 25 more were injured Wed nesday in continuing violence, most of which police attribut ed to the OAS. The new draft law, which was decided upon two weeks ago by the French cabinet, was published Wednesday by Gen. Michel Fourquet, French su preme military commander, following the arrest of an OAS commando band made up of students. French officials said the 27-man band, captured in a raid on a farmhouse outside Algiers, was headed by Jean Louis Poiret, a one-time para troop officer and former presi dent of the dissolved Algeria Students' Association. Before it was broken up last month, the association was a hotbed essary implacable foes. To state the minimum considera tion, we have a conion inter est in continued existence." The Episcopalian statement is a defense of Christian lead ers against charges of com munist sympathies. The state ment said most of these charges have come from the political right but the accusers are playing directly into the hands of the communists with their claims. "Any person who attempts to ignore or minimize the ex trenee danger of international communism today is guilty of ignoring reality," the Episco palions said. "At the same time, the person who out of fear of communism would sac rifice our fre institutions may be unwittingly serving the ends of communist pol icy." A United. Church of Christ study guide on "How To Combat Communism" calls on all Americans first to depend on the FBI to find communist agents and uncover illegal po litical action. It suggests en couragement of full and free discussion of all public issues and assistance in removing racial discrimination, social injustice for migrants and im migrants, corruption and un employment. The National Council ap peals for greater knowledge and understanding of commu nism. "The informed Christian is not afraid to examine claims made by communists or to judge their performance," the council said. ". . . He is convinced that the Christian answer is the only real solu tion of the world's suffering and despair." of European extremist activi ties. Authorities announced that raids by police and soldiers in suburbs of Algiers netted several other suspected OAS terrorists, some of them sub ject to callup for military service. In one of the raids Wednes day, a Moslem policeman, one of 1,500 newly recruited for duty in Algiers and Oran, shot and wounded a European with a burst of tommygun fire. It was believed to be the first time a Moslem gendarme has shot a French settler. trr.
