Sprague Quits
United Nations
PORTLAND lt Charles A.
Sprague, publisher of the Salem
Oregon Statesman said Friday
night he was resigning as alternate
delegate to the United Nations.
He Is quitting the post, which he
has held two months, because he
thinks President-elect Dwlght D.
Elsenhower should be permitted to
select u. N. delegates of his own
choosing, he said.
Sprague, a Republican, was ap
pointed to the post by President
Truman.
"I took this job with the under
standing that it would be for two
months," Sprague told reportcis
who met him at the airport as he
returned from U. N. headquarters
in New York.
He said the resignation h.d no
thing to do with the fact that he
had been critical in the past of
Eisenhower's handling of foreign
policy questions.
During the U. N. session which
recessed early this week, Sprague
served on committees which in
vestigated freedom of news and
information, trust territories in
Africa and racial discrimination In
Africa.
Sprague said he was disappointed
that the U. N. had failed to find
a solution to the Korean War.
Sprague, an ex-governor of Ore
gon, said he was pleased with the
appointment of Douglas McKay as
Interior secretary In Elsenhower's
cabinet and with the succession of
Paul Patterson as governor.

Gives Shoes $
dren In need of shoes stepped
through the cold, black mud
around Eagle Ford'a Baptist
Church headed for Brother Bill's
after-Christmas shoe party, an an
nual event.
Some came barefooted . . . some
with grownup shoes tied clumsily
to thin, shivering ankles , , , some
walked on ragged, pasteboard
patched soles.
Nearly all got shoes, too. but at
least a dozen of the kids heavily i
calloused feet blue with cold i
stood before the big- preacher
and heard him say: "We just
aren t going to nave enough Ills
to go around. But we'll get you
some shoes."
He buys the shoes from money
contributed by his several hun
dred parishioners In Eagle Ford,
an unincorporated area hard by
sometime tough, nearly always
miserable West Dallas.
And the kids knew Brother Bill
would get them shoes. The know
ledge was In their eyes. So they
stayed to hear him tell about the
dangers of smoking.
"How many of you Is still pick
ing up snipes?" he asked.
A 13-year-old and his six-year-old
chum admitted they had "shot
snipes" recently but were of a
mind to quit it.
