U.0? 0RE.LI8RAR? COUP in The- Dafs lews By FRANK JENKINS Thoughts in retrospect: When United Nations was put together in San Francisco back in 1945, in the glow of happiness that followed the ending of the most terrible war the world had yet seen, some grave and fateful mis takes were made. For example: In that happy hour, no one fore saw that SOMEDAY, with the; world again in turmoil, the secretary-general of United Nations, the executive head of the organi zation, might suddenly DIE nat urally or violently. As a result, the situation the world now faces is comparab'e with the situation our own coun try would face if our Founding Fathers had made no workable provision to replace immediately the President of the United States if he should die suddenly by violence or naturally with a war just breaking out or threa cning to break out at any mo ment. . How does UN choose a sccre'a-ry-gcneral? Nominations must first be made by the security council. The se curity council consists of eleven members. Each member of the security council has one volt. Decisions on matters of proce dure, such as calling meetings, are made by the vote of any seven members. Decisions on ALL OTHER matters (including nom inations) are made by the votes of ALL the five PERMANENT mem- bers. Which is to say, the vote of ANY permanent member can balk a decision. So, it follows. ONE permanent member of the security council, which includes Russia, can prevent a nomination from being made. If there are no nominations, there can be no elec tion of a secretary-general. That is the situation we face in trying to choose a successor 10 able, courageous, dedicated Dag Hammarskjold. Russia, hating Hammarskjold because he WAS able, courageous, dedicated to the welfare of the world, and FAIR is determined to see to it that no man of his caliber ever sits again in the secretary-general s seat of power. Russia's single vote in the se curity council can prevent a nom inalion from being made, and thus can stymie the whole process of replacing a deceased chief execu tive officer. If there are no nominations there can be no election.. Another thought in retrospect: . When United Nations was put together back in 1945, the world wasn't yet READY for the RIGHT kind of world organization to ir sure justice and keep the peace. The UN charter, as adopted at San Francisco, was put together with crossed fingers. The evidence of that is the VETO POWER. The Russians were the leaders of the veto power. They foresaw that a powerful, efficient UN could head off their designs for communist conquest of the world. They shrewdly foresaw that the veto power could be immensely usefil to them. But we loo were not without fault. We too feared that a time might come when trouble could ensue for us. At this distance memory is foggy. But most of! us who can remember back to that time must agree that WE might not have been willing to accept UN without holding in our hands the power tb veto UN de cisions that we might not like. : So- - The confused and fuzzy thinkin: of that day. nearly two decadrs ago, has come around to plague us. A leader who was a great leader, a courageous and dedici, ed leader did die in action. How to replace him is the problem. It is a tough one.

Kingsley Field Welcome Celebration Set Oct 7 Klamath County Chamber of. Commerce has set Oct. 7 as the target date for "Welcome Home 408th-322nd" as Kingslcy Field of ficials revise their estimate of the fighter-interceptor squadrons' return. Kingsley now estimates new runways will not be of suffi cient length for the F-lOls to re turn home until Oct. 1. Jim Bocchi, aviation division director for the chamber, report ed on the planned celebration at Wednesday's regular Board Directors luncheon. Bocchi said the runways had 6.800 feet of binder and hard sur face completed; another 3.200 feet' will be needed, he said, before the jets can come home from Mc Chord AFB. Chamber members will host air men in uniform Saturday, Oct. 7, Bocchi said, and several restau rants in town are planning to serve free coffee to airmen and Hurricane Loses Fury Near Cape Cod Coast By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hurricane Esther apparently tiring from her long journey from the tropics lost her vicious fury today as she ncared Cape Cod and offshore Massachusetts islands. The weather station at Otis Air Force Base reported, "the eye of the hurricane has closed, winds are diminishing fast and Cape Cod may have no hurricane at all." The Weather Bureau observa tion station at Hyanms Airport still referred to the storm as hurricane. Otis weather officials said the center of the storm was 35 miles south of Martha's Vineyard when the eye disappeared. Otis has radar facilities which permit observers to track the path of the storm and determine its strength. Forest Area Said Small WASHINGTON (AP)-The chief of tile U.S. Forest Service. Richard E. McArdle, said Thursday desig nation of additional very large areas of national forest land fori wilderness-type preservations ii unlikely. He told a forest land use confer ence he based this belief on the fact that large additional tracts would mostly be inaccessible for recreational use.

"It looked like a rectangular pillar," Tony Schultz of Wien Alaska Airlines, said Wednesday In 20 minutes it turned into a complete mushroom." Schultz noticed the cloud Sept 14, the same day the Atomic Energy Commission announced the 10th in the series of Russian nuclear tests. Schultz, flying from Kotzebue to Cape Thompson at 6,500 feet, estimated the cloud was about 400 miles west of Cape Thompson. He attributed his ability to see the cloud to the extremely clear air and his high altitude. He said he reported the sighting to military authorities. Officials at the headquarters of the Alaska Command in Anchoiage declined lo comment on his report. Assembly I (Set Chinese Problem UNITED NATIONS. N Y. (AP)IPeiping regime, the United States The United States and the So-1 has agreed only to assembly de- viet Union come to grips todiy on the perennial issue of giving Red China a U.N. seat. For the first time in a decade both agr-e the General Assembly should de bate the question. The two big powers are sure to clash, however, when the 21-nation Steering Committee meets later in the day to decide how the ex plosive question shall be placed before the 99-nation assembly. Still opposed to admitting the GM Pact Accepted By Union ViVf Esther slammed by the eastern end of Long Island this morning! with 100-mue-an-hour winds but the effect on the populous New York area was considered tame. Most serious consequences ap peared to be power lauurcs in thousands of homes, flooding of highways, broken windows and signboards. Esther seemed unlikely to chal lenge the record of her unnamed sister which swept up the coast just. 23 years ago today. That storm took 588 lives and caused $300 million damage. Preparedness was the watch-! word in Esther's path. About 700 persons left their homes in the Montauk, N.Y., area, at the east ern tip of Long Island, for emer gency shelters or higher ground. Massachusetts Civil Defense headquarters evacuated 1,000 fam-l ilies from areas in the path of high1 tides or coastal flooding in Buz zards Bay and Cape Cod. Fierce winds tore down electric and power lines. The Long Island Lighting Co. in New York said more than 206,000 homes in Suf folk. Nassau and Queens Counties. all on Long Island, were without power. More than 10,000 phones were out. Schools were closed for the day in many communities. Connecticut escaped the full force of Esther and Gov. John Dempsey said the worst appeared over at mid-morning without seri ous damage. He instructed state police and other officials to make facilities available to needy persons in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Rhode Island, hit hard in the 1938 hurricane, fared better today. At least 200 persons were evacu-i ated from waterfront homes. Boat owners had two days ot warning to get their craft secured or out of water. But five foot seas in Narragansett Bay washed about a half dozen skiffs ashore. ot their ladies. The Air Force is cooperating and all personnel who are given passes into town will be in uniform, Bocchi reported. They have scheduled a flyover at about 10 a.m. Bocchi also said the aviation committee suggests the Klamath County Chamber of Commercei contact McChord and invite its; flying personnel to Kingsley while the McChord runways are being lengthened. He said the project was scheduled sometime after the Kingsley crews return home. Cooperating in the "Welcome Home" celebration will be the Klamath County Chamber of Com merce, the Klamath Falls Mer chants Association and the Auto mobile Dealers Association. Busi nesses will be asked to display banner; and make a clear cut ef fort to "welcome these men home," President Bob Kent of the chamber said. -, George Callison, chamber mana ger, reported on his trip to the Okanogan-Cariboo Trail Associa tion convention in Bend. Callison said the association freely admit ted to its failure on the several points he was sent to find out about. "Particularly," he said, I "their failure to carry through with promotion of Highway 97.' The association, Callison said has recently lost its managing director who returned to his own business interests, but was mak ing strides to come back. "Any way, I came away with a better feeling about it," he reported. He said the association, which is trying to promote the ultimate construction of one single-num-l bercd highway from Buenos Aires Argentina, to Nome, Alaska. passed 24 resolutions during the convention. Presently, 97 ends at Weed. Tickets to the chamber's an nual meeting were distributed to Board of Director members present at the luncheon. Chamber members can purchase tickets from these men. DETROIT (API The United Auto Workers General Motors Council today bowed lo Ihe union's international executive board and voted unanimously to accept all terms of the UAW-GM contract agreement.! The council, which had voted rejection of local-issue term set tlements Wednesday night, voted complete approval of the new three-year contract after a 45 minute meeting. . UAW President Walter Rcuther. addressing this morning's meet ing, told the 280-membcr council, "We want you to act like you are a member of a Democratic union, otherwise you have chaos." Today's quick council .accept ance of the GM-UAW agreement ended an Internal battle over ap proval of the new contract cover ing 350,000 GM workers and paved the way for resumption of full production at 129 GM plants Reulher said all UAW locals who have already settled have been ordered to report to work and "most of them are working At a news conference, Reuther explained what he called a new approach on the part of both Gen eral Motors and the union toward settlement of 24 local plant strikes. He said that shop committees from these locals will meet in De troit starting Friday with officials! of the company and international representatives of the union, Reuther called this a sensible and realistic approach and said 'we hope we can work quickly toward complete settlement of all these problems. bate on the issue. The Red China issue was one of several serious cold war dis putes that cropped up either on the agenda or in the background almost as soon as the assembv met Tuesday. Among others are Berlin, disarmament and the lu ture of the United Nations itself. This last involves the task of choosing a successor to the la1.' Secretary-General Dag Hammar skjold. in the face of stern Sovia opposition. In the Steering Committee, t'.-e United States is determined to block the Soviet demand that tne United Nations recognize Peiping as rightful holder of the seat now occupied by Nationalist China. The U.S. delegation announced support for a New Zealand pro posal to debate the over-all ques tion of who should represent China. And the U.S. or one of its allies is expected to move for creation of a special committee to study the issue and report back to the assembly next year. Aware that this would have tne same effect as shelving the issue the Communists are certain j fight the maneuver. But delegate: believe the study plan will get majority support. In the hunt for a new secretary general, the Soviet Union killed hopes of East West agreement by turning down a widely supported plan to name a representative of a nonaligned nation as interim successor until a permanent secretary-general can be agreed upon. The Soviets insisted they would settle, only for Premier Khrusn chev's troika plan a three-man board representing the Western, Communist and neutral nation:, each with veto power. r w i ill . - ...j.. i ' i ( 'St " ; Plane Hits Mountains Missing Plane Hunt To End MEDFORD (API Organized search for a missing plane carry ing Max Tcrzenbach will end to day if no trace of it is found. Brian Douglass, head of the air search program in the Medford area, said It would be concluded that the plane which vanished on a flight from Boise last Friday either did not go down in the area of the search or that its wreckage is hidden in dense limber. 42 Traffic Death Total By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oregon continued its two-deaths- a-day rate in September as an other traffio victim died in Port-1 land early today.
