Ha it done thil effectively? Or hat it, as many opponents charge, be come a bumbling, haphazard, misdirected operation? An ex pert on Latin American af fairs takes the reader behind the OAS scene in the follow ing dispatch.) By ARNALDO OTERO -United Press International Washington - (UPD - Bolivia has done what critics of the Organization of American States (OAS) have urged the United States to do-abandon the western hemisphere peace keeping organization. . Bolivia's action, whether ill-advised or not, underscores the dissatisfaction of many high officials - here and in Latin America-with the way the world's oldest peace ma chinery is being managed. The 21-nation OAS - Cuba, although ousted, still belongs -is lor all practical purposes a Latin American agency, run by Latins dealing with Latin American problems. This is so in practice if not in intent. The first Secretary General, ex-Colombian President . Al berto Lleras Camargo, once said that the organization was what its member governments want it to be. And that is the way it is today. It Is no secret that the Legal Aspects of Space Discussed At World Parley Athens, Greece-flffD w The world conference on world peace through law Tuesday discussed legal aspects of out er space. . The delegates from more than 100 countries attending the meeting, the first such world conference of lawyers aimed at promoting peace, centered their discussion' on the new legal problems pqsed by space exploration. At the inaugural session, Earl warren, U. S. Chief Jus. tice, called for an internation al court with the means of en forcing judgments. He said, "When we consid er the dangerous of interna tlonal friction today, it is even more Important for us to devote our great effort to ward having a body of inter national law than it is to make Improvements in our domes tic law, important as some of those changes may be . . . Not Recognised "But, not all people have yet recognized the absolute necessity for having a court of international law with Jurisdiction to decide current problems and with the means of enforcing judgments." Warren also said lwayers "should be the first to agree that the responsibility is theirs to initiate a movement to have the problems of na tions solved by means other than war." He devoted much of his speech to the origin of law, and said "although thousands of years have elapsed, we have not defined and perfected in ternational law as we have domestic law in our respec tive countries." United States and the 19 Latin American republics that actively belong to the OAS, have turned it into a vacillat ing, sometimes misunderstood, much maligned and misdirect ed institution. Unlike Bolivia, the U. S. government has no Intention of quitting. This, at least, is the present official thinking. This is so although most of the crucial U. S. problems with the Latin American gov ernments are carried out on a bilateral basis and not through the OAS. Emergency problems and programs with countries from Mexico to Argentina can be dealt with more quickly through the sluggish U. S. bureaucracy than through the OAS. For example, the United States has never ventilated in the OAS its touchy border problems with Mexico. Nor its vital rescue aid packages to the shaky economics of Brazil and Argentina. Despite Bolivia's claim that the OAS was "too incompe. tent" to settle its trivial bor der river dispute with Chile- the reason why Bolivia re. signed-the peace making ma chinery of the organization is its key asset. Solve Disputes Through its s 1 o w-moving cautious and sharply divided permanent council, the mem. ber nations have successfully solved minor but highly emo tional disputes between mem ber governments. The OAS also played a key role in bringing about a peace ful and orderly transition from dictatorship to democra cy in the Dominican Republic after more than 30 years of bloody tyranny under Dic tator Rafael L. Trujillo who was assassinated two years ago. And In October, 1962, the United. States won a major victory for the hemisphere within the OAS when it re c e i v e d the organization's unanimous and speedy sup port to force Russia to pull its nuclear missiles out of Cuba. It is this type of outstand ing performance by an un usually clumsy organization that obscures the legitimate complaints. The OAS governments could probably profit by con fronting directly public issues of Importance being poorly handled through the OAS. The present Secretary Gen eral. Jose A. Mora, a former Uruguayan ambassador to the OAS, has been the target of unrestrained and sometimes unfair criticism. Week Office For all practical matters, It is agreed that Mora's is a weak office. In a recent book on the OAS, former U. S. Ambas sador to the OAS John Drier, said of Mora s post. "Despite their enthusiasm for the regional concept, the American republics have ac tually approached the delega tion of power to the regional organization with great reserve." In undiplomatic language, that means the secretary gen eral's office has been made a figurehead. Mora, in fact, often lacks powers to deal ef fectively with basic admin istrative reforms. At the Pan American union and In far-flung and disjoint ed regional offices and agen cies, work nearly 800 inter national employees. Only a few compote for their Jobs Not a few top-level officials are hired without the recom mendations of one or more diplomats. Today it costs the U. S. gov ernment about $2 million a year to belong to the OAS. It costs a small country like Bolivia $44,700. But Bolivia's vote is equal In all matters. The OAS total budget is $13 million. Called Headiest The U. S. delegation, head ed by former New Orleans Mayor deLesseps Morrison - a political appointee of Presi dent Kennedy - was called "headless" by Mexican Am bassador Vicente Sanchez Gavita during heated debate. No one argued with the Mexican's assessment - either in or out of the council-al-though the diplomat was chided for having been so un diplomatic in his criticism of the U. S.. delegation. Morrison has made by far more speeches throughout the country and in Latin America than in the OAS chambers at the Pan American Union. This year, he has showed up at five of the some 15 ses sions held so far. The rest of the time the delegation has been headed by his alternate, Ward Allen, an expert on in ternational organizations. Like Morrison, many am bassadors by necessity devote only cursory attention to OAS matters. The ambassador from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guate mala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Venezuela and Para guay also represent their gov ernments at the White House. President Kennedy himself despite the widely-acknowl edged fact that he has con tributed more to inter-American relations than any previ ous chief executive - has ne glected U.S. participation in the OAS. Complicate Action The U.S. delegation, in fact, has contributed to what Am bassador Drier called "a plethora of organs, agencies and instrumentalities ... (a) maze of organs which absorb incredible amounts of time, hum (i n energy and material resources, and yet often com plicate and delay the taking of decisions and action." This is not the doing of Mora and his top officials. It Is done by free-wheeling dip lomats and U.S. officials well aware of Mora's weak posi tion. During his seven-year term of office - he still can serve until 1968 - Mora has had about seven press officers and countless changes In top-level personnel, brought about sometime by "palace in trigues," as some ambassa dors put it. At the Pan American Un ion, public information mat ters are often left to the whims of diplomats. Well-intentioned as some are, they do not begin to understand the requirements of the mass communications media. This type of procedure is common in the halls of the Pan American Union which are beautifully decorated with chandeliers designed by New York's Tiffany and fountains and emblems made in Mexico and other countries. Power Blocs Unlike the chairs of the old council room which were carved out of a single ma hogany tree In the Dominican republic, the OAS is made of a myriad of power blocs that often paralyze Us operations. And unlike other families, this family of nations is re luctant to discuss family rela tions with frankness. This is CATFISH Peep Set Pillars 69 lb. RAZOR CLAMS $159 I lb. SALMON $159 l lb.

But no one will pro pose it lest it be considered criticism on the incumbent. Yet it is conceded that the lack of open discussion of matters that should be in the public domain has hurt the organization. . Drier said that if the OAS is going to be strengthened, "it will demand a substantial increase in public confidence in the organization and its purposes." he added: "The creation of this great er confidence must begin with the United States, for it has in large measure been a fear of the United Stat is . . . that has restrained the Latin American countries in grant ing authority to the organiza tion. Action Wanted "It is now for the Latin American countries to trans late their repeated words into deeds, to take the initiative in affecting the needed changes they so often demand in their institutions, and to remove obstacles which ob struct progress toward their own clearly stated goals." The organization, aside from all its other problems, is nearly broke. At the end of 1962, it did not have enough money to pay its debts. And today it is dipping into out side resources to run its pro grams because member-governments won't pay their dues. Experts agree unanimously that the organization is capa ble of great peace-making ef forts. It also is doing distin euished work in the fields of art and culture, though on a small scale. But in the final assessment, no well-intentioned observer can escape the prophetic words of the organization's first secretary general-Lleras Camargo - when he said: "It (the OAS) is what the member governments want it to be, nothing else. The gov ernments are the organiza tion ... if our conduct is bad, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.' STARTS TOMORROWI DON'T MISS ITI NORFIELD'S JULY CLEARANCE SHOE SALE! WOMEN'S ONLY!

Washington's Highlands Headquarters Being Restored By FREDERICK M. WINSHIP New Windsor. N. Y. - (UPI) -American independence was declared in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, but it was in this Continental Army encamp ment - now under restoration - that Gen. George Washing ton stood fast against making the new nation a monarchy. Washington and the bulk of his army camped at the New Windsor cantonment, in the Hudson Highlands near West Point, for eight months in 1782-83 while the Treaty of Paris was being written and the British continued to oc cupy New York. Cornwallis had surrendered In 1781 and Washington's men were chaf ing to get back to their farms and businesses, but not with out some pay in their pockets. Dissatisfaction with the near - bankrupt Continental Congress, sitting in Philadel phia, was rampant, especially among Washington's officers. They complained of pay ar rears, unsettled food and clothing accounts and failure of the Congress to grant them promised life pensions at half pay. This led to the suggestion that Washington take over by assuming the crown with the aid of his army. the suggestion, expressed in a letter from Col. Lewis Nic ola, with annoyance and scorn, but soon he was faced with a more serious rebellion against the Congress led by Maj. John Armstrong. The major circulated anonymous broadsides at the cantonment, urging the officers to openly defy Congress. Washington countered by calling a griev ance meeting on March 15, 1783. At the meeting, the father of his country shamed the reb els by pleading for the same loyalty and patience with their government that he had Washington brushed aside given his officers during the 7 PLASTIC DUSTPANS IQf Reg. 79e I V 5 MEASURING CUPS Ct Reg. 29c lvl 5 WOODEN SALAD p SPOONS Jt Reg. 29c I 1 LINENS -FABRICS 180 YDS.

It was also at the temple that the Society of the Cin cinnati was formed by Wash ington's officers in 1783 with Washington as first president.

One reason is that the I Health, Education and Wei Raymond Hall of Cook County, 111., Marriage Court advocated establish ment of a study group of rel igious leaders and marriage children of such marriages are a greater threat to the existence of the soolety than those who are a product of the environment which the society accepts as normal. The members of the broken family are more susceptible to both juvenile and adult de linquency than other ele ments of society, statistics have ind.'rated. Children of an unsuccessful marriage arc themselves poorer marriage risks than those whose par rents were happily married. Financial Problems Also, divorce often creates financial problems for the in dividuals Involved, making It difficult to adequately edu cate and equip the children for adulthood. The individual unable to make his way in a society is more prone to seek Its destruction, psychiatrists say. However, sociologist Hel ena Lopata of Roosevelt Uni versity believes that In some Instances cilvorce may be a lesser evil than the preserva tion of a marriage which is impossibly unsuccessful. "The absence of divorce Is not a solution," she wrote. "A divorce may be a solution. Some people are Incompatible with anybody."

Jehovah Leader Warns Teen-Agers Milwaukee, Wis. - (UPD - The president of Jehovah's Wit nesses warned teen-age mem bers of the sect at the group's annual convention not to "play around with the op posite sex." "You say you are dedicated to God," said Nathan H. Knorr, Brooklyn, N.Y., "well, prove It." Knorr, who also Is president of the Watchtower Society, told the more than 35,000 members attending the third day of the eight-day conven tion that mankind's immoral ity today Is comparable to that of the time of Noah. Modern society teaches that to lie, cheat and loaf is cor rect "because everybody does it," said Knorr. "What are you teen-agers doing in high school?," Knorr asked the huge crowd of adults, teen agers and chil dren. "Do you think it is proper to pet and play around with the opposite sex? Do you think that because your par ents are Jehovah's Witnesses that you have a certain license to become immoral?"
