In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Forty-five years ago today
was a day that no one then
alive will ever forget.
11 was on that day that Ger
man representatives signed a
truce between the Allies and
Germany.
The signing took place in a
railroad dining car in live For
est of Compiegne. in France.
The signing of the truce
marked the end of actual fight
ing in World War I.
It touched off the wildest and
happiest celebration that the
world had ever seen.
There was a curious sidelight
to the celebration.
The news of the signing
leaked out prematurely, lead
ing to what was known as the
False Armistice. The celebra
tion began with the first hint
of the signing of the truce. Peo
ple went wild with joy.
Then
There came the news that it
wasn't true.
The shock was terrible. But
it didn't last long. . The signing
of the Armistice was shortly
confirmed, and the celebration
was resumed where it had been
halted.
It went on and on and on.
What a day it was!
The world was mad with joy.
NEVER AGAIN would there
be war. The world had learned
its lesson. In every mind was
the prophecy of Isaiah:
"They shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks: na
tion shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more."
Ah, me.
What an anti-climax.
World War 1 was followed by
World War II. And the horrors
of World War I were mild when
compared with the horrors of
World War II.
' And if World War III should
come, its horrors would far
transcend the horrors of World
Wars I and II.
But
The memories of that won
derful 11th day of November,
1918, will never be forgotten by
those who lived through it.
The dream was shattered.
But the wonders of it will nev
er die. It just may be that the
memories of that beautiful and
wonderful day when it seemed
to us that war had been ban
ished from the earth may even
tually lead us to peace to the
prophesied beating of the
swords into plowshares.
At least let's hope so.

Too Much Spending
Puts UN In Squeeze
' UNITED NATIONS (UPH
The United Nations, caught in
the squeeze of rising costs, is
worried about its growing budg
etary problems.
The United States and most
other members think expenses
of the Ill-nation organization
are getting out of control and
need some belt-tightening.
This problem is separate
from, though obviously closely
connected to the financial crisis
caused by high peace-keeping
costs and the refusal of some
members to share them.
Speakers in the regular budget
debate completed last week
have complained about too
many conferences, too much
paper work, too much staff ex
pense, too much guesswork in
cost estimates, too little coor
dination of the myriad econom
ic, social, political and legal
projects.
Re-Evaluation Needed
Alluding to the rapid increase
in size and complexity of the
organization over the past few
years, Rep. William S. Mail
lard, R-Calif., the U.S. spokes
man., here, on money, matters,
pointed out that "the U.N. to
day is big business" and needs
periodic re-evaluation.
The budget debate skirted the
real reason for the $140 million

Disarm Vote
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
UPI) Russia's demand for
drastic changes in a 46-power
resolution forced postponement
today of a vote on disarmament
in the General Assembly's main
political committee.
The 111 -nation committee
agreed to a Nigerian proposal
to adjourn its arms debate to
let the sponsors consider the
changes sought by the Soviet
Union.
The committee called a meet
ing for this afternoon to debate
a 10-nation resolution calling for
de-nuclearization of Latin Amer
ica. Success of the proposal,
which grew out of last April's
joint declaration by five Latin
American countries that the
area should he made nuclear
free, depended upon the ani
line of the United States and
Cuba.
The disarmament delay came
after Russia had forced a week
end recess of the political com
mittee to get instructions from
Moscow.
The Russians demanded that
the 4B-power resolution be
chanced in these ways:
Removal of reference to the
joint statement of agreed prin
ciples for disarmament, which
was issued by the Soviets and
the United Stales in 19fil and
has been the hible of arms talks
ever since.
Elimination of a directive to
the Geneva conference to con
centrate on measures against
surprise attack and against the
spread of nuclear weapons.
Removal of reference In
shifts in the Easl-Wesl disarma
ment positions which "have the
effect of narrowing the differ
ences." The Soviets sought to have
those chances put in as amend
ments to the resolution. West
ern diplomats were divided on
the possible motives for the de
mands. Some saw a Soviet plan to
force an 18-nation summit
meeting, w ith the heads of state
of the 17 Geneva nations, plus
France, which has boycotted
the Geneva talks. Tlie United
States opposes such I conference.

Communist countries, France,
South Africa, Portugal and some
others to pay assessments for
the expensive peace of-crations
in the Congo and the Middle
East. This is a political prob
lem that has been put on ice un
til next' year.
But nobody denies that the
peace-keeping debt caused the
alarm that has led to the first
concerted movement for a closer
look at the U.N. books in all
fields. Peace-keeping accounts
are kept separate from the reg
ular administrative budget used
for staff salaries, travel, build
ing upkeep, printing, special
missions and the like.
While there has been no
trouble collecting assessments
for the regular budget, wide--spread
concern has developed
because member states have
just so much money for U.N.
contributions peace-keeping or
otherwise.
So an economy drive is on.
Thant's Dilemma
Secretary General Thant, w ho
technically is responsible for the
budget figures, is caught in a di
lemma. He is under pressure
fromthe new countries of Africa
and Asia for more aid for devel
opment, but faces demands for
economics because of the defi
cit. The projected administrative
budget for next year is approx
imately $100 million. This com
pares with $19.4 million in 1946
when there were 51 members,
$60.8 million in 1959 when there
were 82 members, and $93.9 mil
lion members in 1963.
The expenses will be offset by
$15 million income from various
sources. And while the total is
far below the national budgets
of most member states, dele
gales are concerned because
the trend is steadily upward.
They pointed out that peace
keeping assessments and con
tributions for specialized agen
cies such as U N I C E F and
UNESCO add another $499 mil

bi calling, fos as examination
of the U.N. fiscal system, Mail
lard cited four feasie factors
which contribute to the financial
difficulties, irrespective of the
political peace keeping problem:
Inherent Complexity
Inherent complexity of the
organization. The U.N. is with
out historical precedent, and is
engaged in experimentation and
pioneering in a diverse range
of complicated activities, some
of which have no clear guide

SALEM (UPI '-Gov. Mark
Hatfield called for a "no new
taxes" policy today as the spe
cial session of the Oregon legis
lature convened.
In a torse address to a joint
session of the Senate and House,
the governor said the lawmak
ers should "be aware the vast
majority of the people expect
no new taxes from this ex
traordinary session."
Hatfield told the legislators to
attend to the stales fiscal crisis
and go home.
He recommended re-passage
of a $12 million tax speed-up,
and cuts in basic school sup
port and capital construction.
"We are met to respond to
the expressed will of the peo
ple." he said.
The voters "summarily and
decisively" rejected the $tK) mil
lion tax increase passed by the
regular 1SI63 session, Hatfield
said.
Own Proposals Ignored
"The fruits of your previous
efforts have been voided by
those to whom we owe final
responsibility," he remarked,
noting that his own proposals
had been ignored.
Hatfield' said the ' defeat of
the income tax program has
been variously interpreted to
mean the voters want a sales
tax, a cigarette tax, or no more
taxes.

In a television interview,

"I think Governor Rockefeller

"You have to think of the great

said.
Hatfield's address came short
ly after members of the House
voted to open the door to in
troduction of any and all lax
bills. The Senate, taking an op
posite stand, declined even to
activate its tax commilice.
The governor recommended
of a bill that would require em
ployers to speed up tlieir turn
over of withholding taxes to
the state, netting an extra $12
million this biennium. The one
shot measure was a relatively
uncontested portion of the lax
program which the voters re
jected. Hatfield also called for author
ity to reduce basic school mon
ey, for a saving of $12 million.
And he asked tlie legislators to
place a moratorium on slate
construction.
Much Already Trimmed
Hatfield already has trimmed
$17 million from agency budg
ets under his control, and has
junked $18 million in capital
construction and salary hikes.
The governor charged the leg
islators "to. undertake no sub
jects at this session which are'
nol directly related to our fiscal
picture."
And he urged them "to recog
nize that there will remain the
uncompleted task of tax reform
which must be faced squarely
by going more conservative."
Denies "Coolness"
Eisenhower denied any per
sonal "coolness" toward Nixon.
"Strangely enough," he said,
"that impression has just pcr
sisled throughout these years
and I have never known why."
He said he liked his former
vice president and Nixon's fam

though he felt "free from the
obligation of going into political
activity all o'er the country,
the one man I was worried
about was Dick Nixon out in

Doctor Says Smoking
Can Affect Mothers
WASHINGTON (UPD-One of
the nation's leading obstetricians
says cigarette smoking by ex
pectant mothers resulted in
births of smaller infants.
Dr. Paul B. Underwood Jr.,
of Charleston, S.C., made the
statement in one of several re
search reports presented last
week at the annual meeting of
the American College of Obste
tricians and Gynecologists.
Underwood, head of the South
Carolina Medical College obstet
rics and gynecology department,
said a survey showed that the
heavier the smoker, the smaller
infants were at birth.
He said 4,440 women repre
senting more than 16,000 preg
nancies were interviewed be
tween 19(j0 and lflfiZ. Those ques
tioned were divided into groups
of smokers and non-smokers.
The women who smoked were
then separated as to the quan
tity of cigarettes used a half
pack, one pack and more than
a pack a day.
Underwood said the study
showed that women who didn't
smoke gave birth to heavier in
fants than did mothers who
smoked only a pack a day. He

born to women who smoked
more than a pack a day.
"Thesd statistics indicate that
smoking during pregnancy does
decrease the birth weight of
newborn Infants," Underwood
said. However, he added "other
factors, possibly nutritional also
play an important role."
Underwood said the rate of
premature births increased
when the expectant mothers
smoked. Ho said the prematur
ity rate was "directly propor
tional to tlie number of cigar
ettes smoked per day."
He said the survey also noted
a "slight" increase in tlie rate
of abortion among women who
smoked, but said tlie rate of
stillborn infanls was not affect
ed by smoking.
"Since tlie abortion rate was
consistently elevated in all
groups that smoked," Under
wood said, "we have to consid
er it significant."
Underwood said his study "by
no means intends to indicate
that cigarette smoke is the only
actor governing the birth
weight and incidence of prematurity."
