New Plan To Aid Nations
May Be In The Making
By ELMER C. 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?"
Currently prosperous Eruope is
divided into trade camps:

bourg, The Netherlands, and West
Germany. 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:

nance when an old colored man
goes inlo a beer hall, and is he
guilty of loitering and disorderly
conduct simply because he taps
his foot to music as he waits for
a bus on a cold winter night?
"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. .

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.
