WALZER VPl Financial Editor nrw yukk (Url) A new "Marshall Plan" to aid under developed nations in Asia, Africa and South America may be in the making. A hint of this came from Sir Oliver Franks, former British ambassador to the U.S. and now chairman of Lloyds Bank, Ltd. Sir 0 1 i v e r suggested a forum of Atlantic nations, i n c 1 u d 1 n g the United Mates and Canada to work out such a plan. sir Oliver addressed a recent meeting on economic problems held by trustees of the Committee for Economic Development along with Paul Van Zeeland, former Belgian Prime Minister, Axel Ivoreth, President of the Federa tion of Swedish Industries, and Paul Hoffman, founder and first chairman of the CED. These addresses are exclusively reported today by Saturday Re view in its annual business edition. The forum suggestion was seen by the CED as of top importance. Donald K. David, chairman of the committee, likened it to the speech which the late Secretary of State Marshall delivered at Harvard as the basis for the so- called Marshall Plan. Sir Oliver's remarks were wide ly circulated in international or ganizations and the U.S. State Department. They are believed the basis of l House study which has sug gested greater European coopera tion in assuming a larger share of the cost to aid to under developed countries. Undersecretary of Slate Douglas Dillon is in Paris now for three days of high level economic meet ings to find solutions for trade and aid problems. The central question before the CED meeting was: "Is the econ omy of the Western world split ting apart?"

This group has a pop ulation about the size of the United States and its object is to promote intra-group trade with reduced trade barriers. The Outer Seven, or European Free Trade Association, made up of Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Then, of course, there is Russia ana ncr satellites, and a group of nations outside the two free world organizations. The forum, according to Sir Oliver would include the nations of . the Atlantic group plus U.S. and Canada. According to the British expert the world of East-West problems is faced with a new dimension North-South "the problems of the relationship of the industrialized nations of the North to the under developed and developing coun tries that lie to the south of them, whether in Central or South America, in Africa, the Middle East, in South Africa, or the great archipelagoes of the Pa cific." Hoffman pinpointed the prob lem of the underdeveloped na tions in dollars. He said there are 100 low-income countries where per capita income averages $125 annually against our own of $2,500. More than a billion people live in these countries which do not include cnina. If their income were to be pushed up to $160 an nually by 1969 the cost would be $200 billion, Hoffman says. He believes this could be cut by trade to a point where $15 billion to $20 billion of "soft loans" would do the trick. Keith Funston, president of the New York Stock Exchange, writ ing the Saturday Review's guest editorial, held that private capital was the best method of solving world problems. But this involves two tough problems in itself, he notes undue restrictions against foreign capital, and a political barrier "the fear of many underdeveloped nations that foreign capital may come to play too important a role in their countries' economic lives, and that American capital will go abroad with the aim of 'imposing' the economic system of the United States on its host nation." He believes this latter problem can, be overcome. "Our interest!' he says, "lies primarily in (lie healthy development of the free world in closing the gap between aspirations and actualities as rapidly as possible. "In that great effort of this ceritury of economic hope private capital can play a decisive role. It is this larger purpose which. above all, makes the thoughtful and creative flow of capital across international boundaries so very vital."

Shuffle Dance Case Mulled By High Court Justices Comments On Speed Law Given By I(F Authorities WASHINGTON (AP)-"What is shuffle dancing?" asked a black robed justice of the Supreme Court. The lawyer gave It some thought. "Well," he finally got out, 'it's some form of dancing which uses a system of shuffling." The marble walls of the stately court chamber rang with laughter Tuesday but none of the nine jus tices cracked a smile. Sam Thompson, an elderly Ne- gro, had been arrested for doing a shulfle dance in a Louisville beer hall that had no dancing li cense. He said he was just waiting for a bus. He got two $10 fines for loitering and disorderly con duct. His lawyer, Louis Lusky, told the justices that Kentucky law ap parently doesn't permit appeals of such trivial matters in state courts. This isn't due process of law, he said, and the case against Thompson should be dismissed. Thompson contends the Louis- illc police have been irked at him ever since he hired a lawyer to fight an earlier disorderly charge. They arrest him, Thompson says, about ever time they catch sight of him. Thompson is in jail now on an other charge, the court was told. and has been arrested 12 times since the tavern incident on Jan 24, 1959. Justice Whitlaker asked: "Was it a violation of an ordi- REBOUND PRACTICE TULLAHOMA, Tenn.

"That's very dramatic," replied Herman E. Frick, lawyer for the city of Louisville, "but it doesn't take into account he was doing a shuffle dance." "Is shuffling illegal in Louis ville?" inquired Justice Frank furter. "No sir," said Flick, "but the tavern owner's license did not per mit dancing." Chief Justice Warren broke in: "If a person went into a depart ment store, shuffled his feet, and made no purchase, would he be guilty of loitering?" "Under certain circumstances," said Frick. "Well," said Warren, "there certainly would be a lot of women in jail then." The $10 disorderly fine was im posed on Thompson for arguing with the police outside the tavern. "Do you put a man in jail for arguing with cops?" asked War ren. "If there is sufficient evidence," said Frick. The justices will decide the case later. . On Honor Roll Kaye Chester Robinelte, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kelley Robinette of Route 1, was named to the fall honor roll at the University of Ore gon law school recently. Robinette, a third-year law stu dent, and five other law students from the state attained tlie re quired 3.0 grade point average. , , f ,4 FELIX PEACE George D. Massey, a Klamath Falls physician and surgeon, and local delegate to the stale Medical Society. Both agree on some points of a recent letter to the editor of the Herald and News from Dr Louis J. Feves, president of the Oregon Medical Society, and disa gree on others. Peace thinks use of speed and the siren and red light saves lives, especially in the vast rural areas of Klamath County and Northern California, where he operates. Dr. Massey is not so sure es pecially when the emergency de vices are used in town. In any event, the medical so ciety recently commended t h e State Legislature for passing a law prohibiting ambulance drivers from using the red light and siren ex cept during an emergency and from violating the basic speed rule governing other motorists. The action apparently came as a result of conclusions in some quarters that more lives are lost in traffic mishaps involving am bulances than the need for haste merits. Dr. Feves was considerably more emphatic than the law. He said he would like to see laws passed requiring ambulance drivers, po licemen and firemen to take pe riodic examinations testing their ability to administer first aid. "Their care of the victim at the scene of an accident, including proper splinting, shock care, blood control and other procedures, is certainly more important than speeding to the hospital, endanger ing the patient and others In the process, he wrote. Dr. Feves also advocates laws requiring ambulance crews to no tify hospital personnel in advance during emergencies by radio or phone, providing details and the patient's choice of physicians if possible. He asks that hospitals provide ambulances with interchangeable stretchers so that accident victims, once placed in them, would remain there until ordered removed by the physician. On the first point, Peace and Dr. Massey agree with Dr. Feves. Peace and his drivers have to take periodic tests of first aid knowl edge, anyway, since they frequent ly operate in California where tests are mandatory. They both doubt that interchange able stretchers would be practical locally at least. Both say the local ambulance service does not remove a patient from a stretcher until so ordered. Peace has two ambulances in reserve in case of simultaneous emergencies. Regarding advance notice to the hospital, Peace says it is often not wise to spend extra time phon ing. He adds local hospitals have a list of physicians on tap for emergencies. He also says police generally are on the spot and able to radio ahead for emergency hos pital clearance. He adds that to equip his three ambulances, worth $13,000 each. I ,i,ith rartins (r-nslini! S lotill Of around $8,000) would simply ac too expensive, nr Massev doubts whether ra line ara a mruccilv. "although it wnulrln't do anv harm if ambu lances were so equipped." Thp two men disagree mostly on the right or the necessity of an ambulance to speed. Peace savs he estimates he ana his men rushed more than 30 pa tients to the hospital last year who probably would have died en route had the basic speed law been ob served and drivers failed to use the siren and light. Peace said his service nas made more than 3,000 runs during the three years he has been in business here. He also drove an ambulance six years before going into business. Durine that period a Peace am- hulance was involved in just one accident a minor scrape last sum mer. No injury resulted. "If we were prevented from us ing the red light and siren and speeding, we'd be in the same category as a hearse, and mat s Timber Sale On State Land Hit All Time High In '59 SALEM The sale of timber on state owned forest lands managed by the state forestry department during 1959 reached the all time high of $3,210,300, according to As sistant State Forester Vance L Morrison. The previous high was in 1958 when sales reached $2,313, 18, he added. Morrison indicated that the in crease in sales value was not be cause of any increase in the vol ume of stumpage offered for sale. Instead it was due to the increased footage of green timber placed on the market. Salvage operations in the Tillamook burn have almost ended and it was from this area that much of the timber has come in past years. In the matter of values, Morrison cited recent sales where green Douglas fir went at prices ranging from $30 to more than $50 per thousand board feet while the fire killed timber was sold for about $10. In the sales program a total of $2,179,309 represents timber sold from lands that have been ac quired directly by the state fores try deparlment. Of this total, about Documentary Film "In Our Care," a documentary film series involving institutions operated by the State Board of Control, will make its debut local ly on KOTI Television Sunday at 2:30 p.m., featuring the state penitentiary. Gov. Mark Hatfield and Warden C. T. Gladden will be interviewed briefly at the end of the film. First slate-supported school of music in the United States was established at the University of Illinois in 1397. $1,750,000 will be paid to the var ious counties in which the timber was located. The balance remains with the state to be used in ad ministration, reforestation, proces sing sales, timber inventories and similar activities, Morrison added. "The balance of the income to be derived from the sales which amounts to $1,030,991 comes from the forested state school lands which have been turned to the state forestry department for man agement," Morrison said. "More than $800,000 of this will be cred ited to the irreducible school fund. The balance will go to defray the costs of managing the forest lands. "All except $05,000 of the school land income is from the Elliott State Forest, a 71,000-acre tract of land lying along the coast in Doug las and Coos counties which was acquired through an exchange with the U.S. Forest Service about 30 years ago. "Most of the original stand of timber was destroyed in the his toric Coos Bay fire of 1868 and parts of the new forest that came in following the fire are now reach ing merchantable size. This is some of the timber that is going to market." Morrison pointed out that all of the forest lands coming under the jurisdiction of the state forestry department are being managed on a sustained yield basis with the allowable cut governed by growth. This means that the public agen cies which benefit from the sales can be assured of a permanent an nual income which will vary only as market conditions vary or modi fication of the annual cut may be necessary for limited periods of time due to unbalanced age class es of the timber, the forester added. what we'd be driving sometimes," ne auut-u. Dr. Massey, with no reference to local conditions, said he thinks if the question were taken on a statewide or nationwide basis, a speed rule governing ambulances, would be a good thing. Speed might help in some cases he said, if all ambulance drivers could be trusted to exercise per. feet judgment. But in the long haul the disadvantages outweigh advantages of speed. Peace adds that most driving sins are committed by personnel of non-profit ambulance services which don t belong to the State Ambulance Association, a sort of mutual improvement society w hich makes an honest endeavor to im prove service. He invites letters and comments. He said he will be willing to aban don speed, the red light and th siren if that's what people want. COMING JAN. 22nd $1,000,000 CONTEST!
