Courtesy Medford Mail Tribune By A. E. PEDKRSON United Prcsn International HELSINKI (UPI)-An Ameri can visitor looked across the veranda where he was having lunch with a Finnish friend on a warm summer day toward the forested area of Forkkala, then a Soviet naval base. "Just think," he remarked, "here we sit having lunch while just over there are the Itus' sians." "What do you expect us to do," retorted his host, "go without lunch because the Rus sians are only a mile away?" No Novelty Russians aren't the novelty they once were to much of the non-Communist world but the Finnish attitude toward them still holds. Being neighbors of the Russians is one of the fun damental acts of life for a Finn. If ever a policy of "Love Thy Neighbor" made sense in this world, it is here in Finland. This is not to say that the Finns live in a state of political servitude. They don't. - Like Each Other The Finns do well enough by the Rusisans, and the Russians seem to have a genuine liking for the Finns. The Soviet Union last year supplied Finland with 14 per cent of her imports and looK about 17 per cent of Fin land's exports. Only Britain buys more from the Finns than the Russians do. Member of EFTA Finland has been allowed to lease, for 50 years, the lost half of the border crossing Saimaa canal that drains the Saimaa Lake area of southeast Finland. Once it was an important wat erway from the timber areas to the sea. Now, Finnish industri alists are not so sure. But as far as most Finns are con- SERVICE LEAGUE'S RUMMAGE AND FOOD SALE -BAZAAR OCT. 25-26-27 FOR COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND HERE IS FINLAND Still relatively unknown in much of the outside world, Finland is be ginning to enjoy a growing tourist travel, chief- cerned, the important thing is that they get the canal back. Finland is also an associate member of EFTA, the smaller of the two European trading groups. That was possible after Finland got both sides to agree Russia and China Join Battle To Determine Kashmir's Role By S. G. ROY United Press International NEW DELHI, India (UPI) - India and Pakistan have been quarreling over Kashmir for 15 years, but now the argument has been taken up by Russia and Communist China. The political football some- limes takes a strange bounce, and this is one of those times. Russia has lately been express ing its support for India in the smouldering dispute over Kash mir and at the same time the Chinese have been making friends with Pakistan. Russia twice last month said it would continue to consider Kashmir as an integral p a r t of India. Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev gave this assurance to Indian Ambassador T. N. Kaul during a private dinner in Moscow. In New York, the leader of the Soviet delegation to the United Nations General Assem bly, Andre Gromyko, repeated it to his Indian counterpart, Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Pandit. Russia said it would veto any resolution at the security coun cil on Kashmir which is not fa vored by India. The Soviet at titude, however, holds a more significant implication: Russia does not recognize as legal the recently concluded agreement between Pakistan and China which demarcated the bound ary between old Kashmir slate territory, now under the control of Pakistan, popularly describ ed as 'Azad Kashmir,' and Sin- kiang India comenns me uui u c ' ! china was not then in the pic ngrecmcnt gives Chine some SO (lrc square miles oi Azaa ivasnniir.

"We have noted here in Fin land," President Urho Kekko nen recently told United Press subject to renegotiation after the status of Kashmir has been finally settled. But even during the hey-day of "Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai," Pe king never publicly supported India's case in Kashmir. In 1955, Khrushchev declared that Russia considered Kashmir as an integral part of India. He had in mind only Pakistan's control of Azad Kashmir. He re jected Pakistan claims on any part of Kashmir, and this was later reaffirmed by the Soviet delegate at the security council. The Chinese entry into the Ak sai Chin area of Ladakh was not known then. Now the R e d Chinese occupy 14,000 square miles of Ladakh. Russia has not said so but In dian observers take it for grant ed that Russia recognizes the official map of India as setting out the limits of this country. The map shows the whole of Kashmir, including Azad Kash mir and Aksai Chin, as Indian territory. If that is the case, then Russia believes Pakistan illegally occupies a part of Kashmir along with China. Rus sia, therefore, considers China to be an aggressor in Ladakh. Thus there is a new element in the three -power dispute in volving Kashmir, and Indians recall Khrushchev's declaration at Srinagar in 1955 that "we are so close to you that if you should call we will hear you and come to your help." At that time, the Soviet Pre mier was allaying India's appre hensions, over Pakistan designs But his promise of help as sumes new significance today.

The high court upheld a rul ing by Multnomah County Cir cuit Judge Herbert M. Schwab. Previously the Supreme Court had held that orders of the pub lic utility commissioner denying the company the right t o abandon passenger service were unconstitutional. The state claimed it was en titled to recover penalties be tween the date of abandonment of service, and the date t h e PIT order was declared invalid. The majority opinion was written by Justice George Ross man. Justice Kenneth OTonnell's dissent was joined by Justices Gordon Sloan and A r n o Denecke. They argued that the PIT order, even if confiscatory, was enforceable until properly stayed. The high court upheld a Ma rion County Circuit Court ruling by Judge George Jones clearing title to an estate left to the trustees of the Presbytery of Willamette for the maintenance and upkeep of the Pleasant ''rove Presbyterian Church.

(UPI) International, "that the better our relations with the U.S.S.R., the better our relations remain with all other countries." Relations Are Cordial President Kekkonen has made it his business to see that rela- ments, but he will refuse to make any further concessions because of the pressure exert ed on him by interested powers. It was once believed that Neh ru was not opposed to conced ing portions of the Aksai Chin area to China in lieu of the latter's recognition of the inter national boundary marked by the McMahon line in that area. That may be the ultimate sit uation one day, but it is quite possible, too, that Nehru is hope ful he will recover the lost terri tories in Ladakh if the Sino-So-viet conflict again becomes a hot war and results in the over throw of present recalcitrant leaders of the Communist party of China. In any case he does not lose anything if, with the backing of the Soviet Union on Kashmir, he awaits the outcome of the con troversy between Russia and j China. Many Indians wish that Tibet: once again would become inde- pendent. Only then will the ter ritorial integrity of India against the designs of a strong China be ensured. They hope that internal pres sures and external events will enable the people of China to 1 shake off their present regime. I hat would be the time for the Tibetans to assert their rights. Many Indians think that the So vie support on Kashmir points to that direction. Whether Nehru also shares this opinion, it is difficult to say. But his inclination to mark time before reaching a settle ment with China on the border question indicates that he h a s not accepted the continuity of the present Chinese leadership or government. At (he same time, in the opin ion of observers, Soviet sup port of India will act as a dc terrant to Pakistan from join ing with China in an adventure against India. Also affirmed was a decision Evergreen Timber Company, Inc., clear title to land, and declaring a tax foreclosure void. The company had ques tioned the validity of the sale of property on foreclosure for delinquent taxes by Clackamas County. In another action, the high court reversed in part and af firmed in part a decision i n Yamhill County Circuit Court in action against Otto Hcider of Sheridan for malicious prosecu tion and two charges of con version. A Jo6.000 judgment for Paul W. Gowin was reversed and remanded for a new trial, but judgments obtained by Go win of $2,000 and $7,000 respec tively, on the conversion charges, were upheld.

Main Toward Hwssoa tions with the Russians are as cordial as they can be, ignoring occasional comments that he goes too far in his search for friendship. Finland today has a fairly healthy economy, paper and pulp sales have been weak for the past year, with increased North American supplies on the market. The cost-of-living index has gone up about six per cent in the past year. Free-spending Finns, still riding on the crest of the 1958-59 recovery, are im porting more than they sell. Last year imports exceeded ex ports by about 130 mililon dollars. Change Noted The past six years have seen a remarkable change in Fin land's appearance. Where once stores stocked pressure cookers from Israel, washing machines from Norway, and other prod ucts of bilateral trading, shops now stock the same broad multi-nations lines as do stores else where in Europe. Finland has eliminated quota systems on practically all imports except autos, and importers may buy where they wish. Helsinki Is Growing Housing is going up on every vacant lot.

Finland is creeping out of the shell that it developed for self protection after World War II. President Kekkonen has visited a dozen countries during his seven years of office, most of these during the last three years During the past year he has visited the Soviet Union, France, Yugoslavia and Hun gary. Finland is a member in very good standing in the United Na tions, although she seldom votes on highly controversial issues. She works well with the other members of the Nordic council, which is still her main doorway on Western Europe. She has affiliated with EFTA and will have to make her peace with the common market when the time comes. Relatively Unknown Country Finland is still relatively un known in the outside world. "Brave Little Finland" is a name that means something to an older generation, and in the United States, Finland is still known mainly as the debt-paying country of the Sauna.

This year's tourist tra vel, for all that it is growing in a big way, will probably not add up to more than 600,000 visitors, most of these from neighboring Sweden. For Finland appeals only to a certain type of tourist, the vfs:'or who wants to get out on the water in a sailboat, go fish ing in a river or lake, or drive through mile after mile of forest-covered country. This is an outdoor country, and despite the carefully guarded traditions of a few restaurants, Finland is not a country of good food and wine.
