Hoover West Branch, Iowa - fUPP Former President Herbert Hoover said today the Com munists have destroyed the usefulness of the United Na tions in preserving peace and j proposed a "council of free I nations" to step in when the United Nations fails to act J for peace, or is prevented i from doing so. The council, he said, would , be made up of those free na-! tions "willing to stand up and fight for their freedom." The United Nations not only has failed to give "even a re mote hope for lasting peace," the former President said, but "it adds to the dangers of wars which now surround us.

Proposes Council of Free Nations To the United Nations are the Communist nations in its membership." At his birthplace here in the Iowa plains, Hoover took the occasion of his 88th birth day anniversary to propose a "new appraisal" of the United Nations. He spoke at the dedication of the Herbert Hoover Presi dential Library, a ceremony which also included an ad dress by former President Harry S. Truman. Recounting his long experi ence in foreign affairs and his work among the peoples of 50 nations, Hoover said that "now as the shadows gather around us" he was offering a new course of action. (Oregon State Planned To Control as Drivatc property, will be presented to the 1963 legisla ture. The law is particularly wanted by the U.S. Forest Service which presently finds itself virtually helpless in en forcing its regulations which bar vehicles from some areas during some periods of the year. The only way the Forest Service can enforce these regulations is to take the vio lator into federal district court. It has found that U.S. officials are reluctant to prose- ute such cases because of the press of more important items.

"The last of many ef forts is the United Nations. The time has come in our na tional life when we must make a new appraisal of this organization. "But first, let me say that I have, in all my official life, believed in a world organiza tion for peace. I supported the League of Nations when it was unpopular. I went down to defeat when, as President, I urged the Senate to join the World Court. I urged the ratification of the United Na tion charter by the Senate . . .

At present state game laws are applicable to federal for est lands and violators are brought into state courts. The Forest Service would like to control the off - road use of the mechanized vehicles because of the fire hazards they create in certain times of the year and the soil erosion problems they can create. The big problems, it is ex plained, are caused by cross country travel. At present the Forest Serv ice has regulations on the travel but they arc often not observed and the foresters have no adequate means of enforcing them. Under the proposed law which the Committee on Nat ural Resources recently order ed drafted by the attorney general's office, the land own er, in most cases the forest service, would have to file a complaint.

The Communist leaders, for 40 years, have re I peatedly asserted that no peace can come to the world until they have overcome the free nations . . . They have, about 100 times, vetoed pro posals in the Security Council which would have lessened in ternational conflict. They daily threaten free nations with war and destruction. "In sum, they have destroy ed the usefulness of the Unit ed Nations to preserve peace." Hoover said the free nations now had five regional pacts set up for mutual defense and that there were bilateral mili Regional Edition Medford 22 Pages Two Sections Injunction Halts Railroads' Plan For Rule Changes Earlier Ruling To Be Appealed Chicago -IUPD- U.S. District Judge Joseph Sam Perry to day granted a temporary in junction against sweeping antifeatherbedding work rules changes which would eventu ally eliminate 65,000 jobs on the nation s railroads. Perry granted a union's ap peal for an injunction barring the railroad plan to put the work rules changes into ef fect next Thursday. Five on train rail brotherhoods, rep resenting 210,000 workers, had threatened to call a strike if the work rules were im posed. Perry s temporary injunc tion will stay in effect while the unions appeal his earlier ruling against issuing a per manent injunction. Perry ear lier in the week had refused to block the railroads on his own, saying their plans to cut railroad jobs were within the Railway Labor act. Damage Feard Perry said he feared he "might cause irreparable dam' age" if he turned down the unions' last ditch plea for an injunction pending their ap- peal to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. J. E. Wolfe, chief negotia tor for 180 U.S. railroads, said Thursday at a federal court hearing on a union pe tition for a temporary re straining order blocking the new work rules that 65,000 workers would be dismissed in an "antifeatherbedding" drive. The five on-train unions, representing engineers, fire men, conductors, switchmen, trainmen, and enginemen, have estimated the number of layoffs might reach 80,000 if the new rules took effect as scheduled. The five unions represent between 200,000 and 210,000 railroad operat ing employees. Hatfield To Turn Dirt for Bridge Astoria 0TPI) Gov.

"Today the menace of com munism has become world wide," he said. "The time is here when, if the free nations are to survive, they must have a new and stronger worldwide organization. For purposes of this discussion I may call it the 'Council of Free Nations.' It should include only those who arc willing to stand up and fight for their freedom. "The foundations for this organization have already been laid by me 40 nations . . . and there are others who should join. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, Kennedy Plans (Report Monday Zorin Turns Down U.S. Proposals for Zonal Inspections Geneva-IUPD-Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin today rejected U. S. proposals for progressive zonal inspections to check on the destruction and reduction of nuclear and conventional arms during a general dis armament treaty. He told the 17-nation Dis armament Conference that the proposals outlined in the U.S. draft treaty would be use ful as a means of getting in formation by a country plan ning an attack" and "unac ceptable to a country fearing attack." Zorin maintained that 100 per cent destruction of nu clear delivery vehicles in the first phase of general disarm ament was the "only insur ance" against surprise nuclear attack. The Russians Thursday re jected American concessions on policing a ban at a meeting of the nuclear subcommittee. Pear Picking May Start Next Week Scattered p i c k i n g in the pear orchards is expected to start next Thursday and Fri day, according to County Hor ticulturist C. B. Cordy. Cordy said the harvest of Bartlott pears would be in "full force" about Aug. 20. Peaches will not be ready for picking until about Aug. 22 to 25, he added. The cool weather has been beneficial" to the pears, al though it has increased the danger from scab and stor age rot, the agent revealed today. Cordy said the weath er has reduced the demands for moisture and the fruit has been able to grow rapidly- The pears will probably be of better size this year than before, he predicted, although there will still be the usual amount of small ones. Cordy encouraged growers to spray all varieties of pears with Ziram spray to help pre vent storage rot and scab. Scab may not show up for two to three weeks, even af ter picking, he added. Or chardists were told not to be too alarmed, however, since the orchards this year are "relatively free" of scab.

When the United Nations is prevented from taking action, or if it fails to act to preserve peace, then the Council of Free Nations should step in." Hoover suggested that Ge neva might serve as a head quarters site. "Although the analogy of the Concert of Europe formed in 1814 is not perfect," he said, "yet, with much less unity and authority, it fended off world war for a hundred years. "Some organized council of free nations is the remaining hope for peace in the world." Tribune Neutral delegations indicat ed they are preparing a new initiative to break the stale mate on a nuclear test ban treaty in view of the Soviet rejection of the latest U.S. proposals. A Swedish delegation source said the eight uncom mitted nations here "most likely will act" next week if there is no sign of any pro gress towards agreement be tween the Americans and Rus sians by then. He said the neutrals already were prepar ing to take the initiative.

Administration sources said that by the lime the chief executive goes on the air Monday night, he will have weighed the economic indi cators available and made his decision on when to ask Con gress for a tax reduction to stimulate the national econ omy.

Several of these arc major items, he said, such as the city's sewer project with its side Issues in volving alleys, streets and property surveys.

Limited Activities Activity at Howard Prairie reservoir and Emigrant lake has understandably been lim ited during the past 10 days. according to Neil Ledward, county parks and recreation director. Ledward said, however, that "a few hardy souls'" weren't lotting the weather spoil their camping plans. Those that do go to the lakes, he added, have found the fishing "much better" due to the rain. In talking about Howard Prairie, the recreation direc tor noted that a total of 18, 1)00 "camper days" have been recorded this season. This fig ure represents one person per day for each camping unit, ha explained. Activity at How ard Prairie has "exceeded all anticipation" Ledward added. Water Ltvel Down At Emigrant Lake, Led ward reports, the water has dropped so much due to irri gation that "we can't keep up with it." He said he thought the rain fall would have little effect on the water level, ex cept that it may require less irrigation water to be taken from Hie lake. The amount of water taken from Emigrant for irrigation is expected to be reduced sharply later this month when pear picking starts. Ledward . explained that irrigation is usually stopped when the picking starts. The director reminded resi dents of the county parks and recreation commission meet Monday beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the county court chambers at the courthouse. The proposed riding stables at Howard Prairie and the leas ing of land at Hyatt lake will be discussed at the public meeting. day and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday. Appointments may be made by telephoning the Red Cross office 773-3813. The quota is 350 pints for which 400 don ors are needed. So far only 25 appointments have been made, Mrs. Burba said today. Mrs. Burba explained that persons donating in the name of a person or organization not only build up that group's bank but the Red Cross counts the pint of blood towards its quota. An additional 28 pints of type A negative blood will be collected Tuesday to be flown to Portland for open heart surgery. 4
