OREGON the third of three dispatches by UPI Foreign News Analyst Phil Newton on the subject of the Common Market and Eu ropean unity: miracle or mir age. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst On a Paris street lined with sidewalk stalls a sign above one proclaims that it is an outlet for the "Drayeux Com mon Market Products Co." A buxom lady hawker is selling for $2 an assortment of six Italian ball point pens in a Christmas wrapping and an nounces that before the Com mon Market the price was $4. Gaily fluttering flags of the six Common Market nations decorate the stall which, it is only lair to note, also dis plays the flags of such non members as the Soviet Union and the United Slates. Outside the Galcries La fayette, a top Pans depart ment s(ore, a display features German clocks and transistor radios. Accompanying signs say .... n, ..Wicks now sell lor $4, whereas before the Com mon Market they sold for $7 The transistor radios were re riuccd from $48 to $20. A vast prosperity surges throughout the nations oi me Common Market which more formally is known as the Eu ropean Economic Community and which today includes France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. Almost Total Employment With the exception of Italy, there is virtual total employ ment. Germany has been forced to import, labor. , The over-all gross national product is up close to 5 per cent in 1JIB2, higher than either' the. United States or Great'; prjtoiri. Jtifly is up li per cent. ' ' 1 In sharp 'contrast to' the community are .tlae- 300,(00 unemployed in Britain and the approximate 5 million un employed in , the. United States. These figures, plus the fear of becoming a lonely island cut off from a unified Europe, are the reasons underlying Britain's present desire to join the community she once rejected. Not all of the Common Market countries can boasl the spectacular consumer sav ings of France. For the sav ings depend upon the previous height ot internal tariff walls which the six now are in the process of abolishing and will have abolished totally by 1!)70. Has Changed Europe But by whatever standard the Common Market Is meas ured, there is no doubt that in its nearly five years of exist ence, it has changed the eco nomic face of Europe, Injected new life into European indus try and brought a rising standard of living to 175 mil lion West Europeans. As internal barriers have fallen, merchandisers have been forced to drop comfort able old ways which were leading to stagnation, to estab lish new lines and to drop un profitable old ones. It has led to stiller compe tition for products ot the United Stales. It was also di rectly responsible for the U.S. trade expansion net which permits the President to ne gotiate with the Common Mar ket countries and others on partial, and in some case even total, reduction of tariffs. But as Europe plunges into another prosperous holiday season, there also are some misgivings. Fear Inward Turn Among outside nations there is a fear that the Com mon Market community will turn inward, erecting high protective barriers for its own members, thereby stifling in stead of encouraging free world trade. There also is a suspicion that tile swift upward soiral Should it slow down enough or even dii toward a recession it would pose a new test of the community's unity. In such an event, individual members might decide to pro tect their own interests first and thus destroy the hopes that Europe would progress from economic unity to po litical unity as well. Community planners say there should be no worry on either count. The financiers and industrialists who have poured more than half a bil- - " Biio, ,uui,:u mail iibi, a of the European economy at j lion dollars in new money into ting that economic unity al ready has ;.v-'.Tessed so far that there can be no turning Ha'k.

Market has been the import of U.S. poultry, now Jown al most to nothing, and oome de cline in the import of Cali fornia peaches and apricots. American poultry exports to the six as a whole have dropped an estimated 20 per cent as duties were taised or lowered to encourage com munity farmers. Lose Poultry Market Poultry is one example of an important stake which the United States has in the Com mon Market. Its annual agricultural ex ports to Common Market na tions now total $1.2 billion of which approximately S40C million is subject to the com munity's variable levies or certain grains, poultry, pork and eggs. When U.S. Secretary of Ag rieulture Orville L. Freeman served notice that the United States would have no part ol mutual reductions of tariftt which did not include agricul ture, he received no encour agement from the six. The Common Market ai;ri cultural policies, he said, are "unreasonable and arbitrary.'

OREGON IHUrtaiMY, DECEMBER 20, Ud2 Legislators Divided on Expansion of Medical Care Plan Editor'! note: Opinion it di vided over Oregon's preient medical care for the aged pro gram. Thia it the fourth of a five-part series based on a poll of legislator, by United Presa International. By ZAN STARK Salcm-'l'PII-Legislators ap pear equally divided over whether Oregon's present medical care for the ased pro gram should be continued as is or expanded, a poll by United Press International re vealed today. The same survey indicated members of the 19rJ3 Legisla ture wanted a moratorium on creation of new community colleges, favored more basic support for schools, were sympathetic to the need for a governor's mansion, and ap peared divided over the lidd ing of annual sessions, and a milk stabilization act. Cool To Pay Hikea They were cool to granting any "substantial" pay in creases to state employees, and opposed to setting up a higher education contingency fund. More than half the state senators and about one third of the House members an swered the UPI poll. Rep. Merrill C. Hagan (R McMinnville), said "I am op posed to expansion" of Ore gon's present medical care for the aged program. "The present method seems satisfactory," said Sen. An thony Yturri (R-Ontario). Sen. Alfred H. Corbett (D Portland), feels "the welfare connotations of this program keep many needy persons from applying. He called for changes in the present law. Rep. Howard Willits ID Portland), said "the present statutes need revision and ex pansion." Speaker-designate of the House Clarence Barton (D Coquillc), commented, "The present program is inade quate, and is not doing the job that was intended of it. I believe this program should be financed under social se curity, and if the Congress does this, Oregon has no prob lem here. If Congress docs not, we should expand." Moratorium Favored Those who replied to the poll were three-to-one in fav or of a moratorium on crea tion of new community col leges. Expansion of basic school support to the 50 per cent level was favored two-to-one. The providing of a govern or's mansion was favored IS to 11. Many who opposed the idea, however, indicated their opposition was based on lack of available money at the present time. Legislators were equally divided on the need for an nua 1 sessions. Comments ranged from "long overdue" and "it's a must," to "not nec essary" or "not at this time." Opinions were equally di vided over the need for a milk stabilization act to shore up Oregon's milk industry while it works out other solu tions. Dellenback's View Rep. John R. Dellenback (R-Mcdford) said, "On the ba sis of the representations made to the last session, I am not convinced that the milk industry will voluntar ily work out other solutions so long as the legislature re mains ready to pass legisla tion which serves to relieve the pressure." Sen. Robert L. Elfstrom (R-Salem) commented "basic ally I am opposed to govern ment continuing to become involved in the operations of farmers and private enter prise." Sen. Arthur P. Ireland (R Forcst Grove) explained "I have never seen the milk in dustry in such discord. Until the Industry can agree on what it wants the legislature can do nothing to help. My sympathy is not with the so I called leaders in the industry We should stand by, but the next move should come from a more unified industry." Rep. Cornelius C. Bateson (D-Salcm) answered "If abso lutely necessary. They had 18 months to work it out and failed. They should be put on notice that if a new act is passed that it will not be ex- V-.:V-v' - Festive foods do help make the holiday merry!

Watkint (Reclrr & Tribune Byndicate. mtl'i, Turkey May Taste Good, But He'a Not Very Smart The domestic hen, dumb as she is, still knows enough to come in out of the rain. But the turkey, emblem of holiday feasting and of the bountifulness of the first holi day feast, sure doesn't. He will stand out in the rain and drown when just a couple of steps would put him in a sheltered place. He may taste good but he's far from being "bright": actually he is stupid. The wild variety Is wary rath er than smart, shrewd, but in a way that doesn't border on intelligence. The turkey is an American game bird. Even those raised in captivity and sold for the holiday table have wild an cestors. All are related to the pheasant. The term "wild" as applied to this bird means something for wild turkeys are about as wild as any creature can be. Because' of their wildness they are always scarce in populated areas. The wild turkey does not tolerate civili zation like the quail or the pheasant. As the land is clear ed and settled the wild turkey disappears. Isolation from m.m and all his works is as neces sary to this bird as food and shelter. Bird Developed ( Much has been accomplish ed with the domestic turkey, which may weigh three or four times what any of its ancestors attained. In the wild state the struggle for survival keeps the birds lean and rela tively small. Mrs. Wild Turkey makes her nest and lays her eggs in the early spring. Her lord and i master, the gobbler, does none of the work of nest building or incubation. Ihe big, lazy galoot is off gallivanting around somewhere with his male friends. He has not been in evidence around home since the end of the mating season and he won't show up again until the following spring. He won't even recog nize or protect his wife or , children even if he should meet them face to face. He's a callous and un principled character, inter ested only In his own selfish designs. Even though he's i good eating on the holiday table, he's a dismal washout as a kind and loving father. Stay With Mom Once they are hatched, Ihe young turkeys remain with the mother throughout the summer months. During this time the ever-alert parent at tempts to teach the small fry what they should know in order to escape their enemies. She only partly succeeds, for during the summer some of the youngsters are careless and are killed by illegal hunt ers and natural predators. As fall comes on, the tur keys gather in flocks, moving across wide areas of forest seeking weed seeds, acorns and insects. They are fond of cypress balls In Southern states. Usually a flock will contain all hens or only gob blers. The hunting season breaks up the flocks. The wild turkey is a im Jcstic bird . . . wary, alert and difficult to find. The male has a peculiar tuft of feathers hanging from his chest, and like the domestic varieties, the head is bare of feathers, blue in color and often covered with orange-colored warts. The experienced turkey hunter often uses a "turkey call," a reed instrument which imitates the rallying cry of the turkey clan. The turkey is fooled Into thinking li i s friends are waiting for him. The voice he hears is false. It is the enemy, and the end. 3 Firms Authorized To Use Foreign Ships Washington - WPD - A Fed eral Maritime Administration hearing examiner has recommended that three Pa cific Northwest lumber com panies be permitted to use foreign vessels to ship lumber to Puerto Rico. But the application of a fourth firm, the Oregon Lum ber Export Co., was relected. Hearing Examiner Robert N. Hlslop said Danl & Russell, Inc., Portland; Seaboard Lum ber Co., Seattle, and Simpson Timber Co., Seattle, should b permitted to make shipment, under a foreign flag.
