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

important aspect of the Com

The competition extends

Get More Good'
As a result, e insumcrs are
getting goods never before

never before on the market,
aimed at lower ii.come groups.
She sees no great savings
in price in Belgium since ris

tion of tariffs.
She says that a Flench, Ger-.i.-n

Italians also are specialists in

Kaufhof Department Store
agree with Miss Matton that
competition is the great result
of the Common Market
In its huge grocery depart
ment are delicacies of ail na
tions, both inside and outside
the Iron Curtain.
One effect of the Common
Market as Kaufhof's is that
German buyers are showing
their preference for French
cheese. It is more expensive
tique fabrics and furniture I than the German but pros
which need considerable hand-1 perous German buyers can af
work. I ford it.
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.'

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-

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.
