MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 19. 1DB2 Rusk Due for Headaches on Fence-Men ding Swing in fcurope Paris - il'Pli - Secretary o State Dean Rusk will run into a lot of headaches and little to cheer him on his fence-mend ing swing through this week. He will find some of Amer ica's allies - particularly French President Charles de Gaulle and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer - bucking violently against United States leadership. Whether he can patch up or paste over-the chinks in the Western Alliance in the Europe I nine days he has allotted him self is questionaoie. Rusk was to arrive in Paris today, fly to West Berlin Thursday and then on to Bonn. Rome, London and Lis bon. He is due back in Wash ington June 28. The reason for his trip still is a little uncertain to Euro pean diplomats. They point out that he saw the other western foreign min isters at the NATO Council session in Athens only six weeks ago. Litllt Tim Given A nine-day swing through five countries can give him ATTEND SEMINAR A one-day field trip for high school boys enrolled in the Junior Engineers' and Scientists' Summer institute now in progress at Oregon State university brought nearly 200 youngsters to Portland as guests of Pacific Power and Light com pany.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) - The lore of the West - of tough guys and bad women - will be inco m p 1 e t e without this latest tale little time for serious discus sions. There have been sugges tions that this may be an ad vance scouting trip in prepar ation for a possible Western summit meeting or even one between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev later this year. But there is nothing official to confirm this. From the time he lands in Paris today until he leaves Thursday noon. Rusk will find little to boost his spirits. De Gaulle, whom he will see during his stay, is in a tough, prickly mood. The French leader resents bitterly the fact that the Unit ed State refuses to share nu clear secrets. He will not ask for them, but he thinks the United States should offer to share them, and the issue rankles with him. Opposition Resented Equally, De Gaulle resents American opposition to his plans to raise an independent French nuclear striking force. He is still boycotting any talks with the Soviets on Ber lin and disarmament. Rusk also will find De Gaulle calling for revamping of NATO to give its European members a bigger say, dead locked with his continental neighbors over the question of a politically united Europe, and more than cool to British entry into the six-nation Euro pean Common Market, which Kennedy supports. He also will find De Gaulle nursing grandiose plans for building a powerful Western Europe under French and German - but particularly French-leadership, that would constitute a "third force" to be reckoned with alongside the United States and the So viet Union. Reassurance Due Besides meeting with De Gaulle, Rusk also will confer with Foreign Minister Maur ice Couve de Murville, appear before the NATO Council and meet with NATO Secretary General Dirk U. Strikker of the Netherlands. j From Paris Rusk will fly direct to Berlin Thursday for i h fleeting stopover that will aUow little time for anything but a quick visit to "the wall ' j and a reassurance to the West j Berlincrs that the United State has not forgotten them.

He don't bite s h a k i n g its finger at another for Smith having allow ed a brothel to operate for about five years within Us jurisdiction. And at the risk of tarnishing the clean cut, scoutmaster image of the gov ernment's forest rangers, the General Accounting Office has identified the hapless bureau as the United States Forest Service. The house of prostitution operated in scenic Tonto Na tional Forest in Arizona until the lawmen one day galloped up and stamped out sin and degradation amidst the flora.. As befits the legends of the Old West, this adventure took place on the Granite Top lode mining claim. The GAO investigative re port states, with no mischief intended, that in 1951 the For est Service issued "a special use permit for residence pur poses" and pretty soon there after the "miner" was In busi ness. The GAO doesn't say whether the foresters looked the other way or listed the place as a new outdoor recre ation area, or whether they just weren't certain how far J to carry their multiple - use with a new ! poney tor ine national inrests. bureaucra t i c I Grazing is a recognized use, twist. One I b"' there's nothing in the rule govern m e n t i book aD0t permitting it in bureau here is , ,he wild oa,s- Permit Cancelled In any event, in 1054 the local foresters cancelled the special-use permit and notified the "miner" to "remove the improvements on the proper ty." In the tradition of the West, the master of his domi cile took a "says who?" atti tude. A bureaucratic crisis en sued. The local foresters sought instructions from head quarters. The assistant region al forester ruled that Tonto National Forest personnel lacked authority to run the girls off the place and tear down the joint. The solution was obvious: start a mineral examination of the mining claim, just like it says in. the book. The "miner" may have struck paydirt, but if the For est Service could show that it came not from authentic mining operations, righteous ness might yet triumph over evil. Doing no violence to the Forest Service reputation for thorough attention to the task at hand, a regional attorney for the Department of Agri culture advised the Justice de partment nearly a year later that the big decision was still in the works. By this time " J. Edgar Hoover's G-men had entered the case and secured "evidence to prove that the brothel was still in operation," the GAO reports. In August, 1959, the case reached the assistant gen eral counsel for the Depart ment of Agriculture, whose legal responsibility includes examining such things as mar keting orders for turkeys and prunes but seldom the illicit marketing of chicks and .old hens. I Beginning of End A policy decision was taken at this high level that "the Forest Service could abate the nuisance without proving that the mining claim was invalid." This momentous legal break through was the beginning of the end of wickedness In Ton to forest - but not too quickly, needless to say, says the GAO. In due time, over a year later, a complaint was filed in fed eral court against the "miner" on grounds that the "mining claim was being used for pur poses contrary to the mining laws of the U.S." A year later - five years after this enterprising "miner" got started - the court issued Proposal Pondered In Shipping Dispute San Francisco - (UPti .- The executive committee of the Pacific Maritime Association today considered a proposal to avert a resumption of the West Coast shipping strike. Terms of the proposal were not disclosed. It was made by Harvard Prof. James J. Healy, envoy of President Kennedy, prior to his return to Wash ington Sunday nignt. Healy planned to contact the PMA today for an answer and presumably will report immediately to Kennedy, who has urged the PMA and three unions to settle their differ ences before a Taft-Hartley injunction ends June 30. The three unions - seamen, firemen, and cooks and ste wards - have lowered their demands from a three -year package raise of 24 per cent to about 14 per cent. The PMA offered to settle for 11.8 per cent and then make a final proposal to arbi trate all issues in the dispute. an injunction closing down his profitable venture. The moral of this tale ap pears to be that even in Barry Goldwater's home state, the free enterprising fancies of the old frontier are not safe from the relentless, if hapless, march of the bureaucratic do-gooders.
