Patiently Warren Austin and his American co-workers have labored to quiet these fears and to hold the wavering nations to the realization that any yielding of the basic principle that aggression is aggression would be fatal to all the hopes that rest in United Nations.

His name was Hugh G.

You could um it up in one sentence: "HuKh Ball always knew exactly what he was talking about." In the. Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association and its twin, the Oregon Press Conference, there was a standing joke for many years that if anybody offered a prize for excellence in almost any department of newspaper production, Hugh Ball would win It.

Reluming to Washington for a few days of additional briefing, the chief of the North Atlantic defenses plans to sail for Europe and his permanent headquarters.

3. Sets up a U.N. committee to consider as a matter of urgency "additional measures" to meet the aggression and report on them as soon as posslblo to the general assembly. This was the sanctions paragraph that caused an early rift between the U. S.

Establishes a three-member good offices committee to continue "the policy of the UN to bring about a cessation of hostilities In Korea and the achievement of U.N. aims in Korea by peaceful means." This, in effect, meant that the committee would be available to hear any approaches for peace from pciping.

So what? Where do we go from here? It would be folly to predict, but our guess is that the Kremlin will be extremely reluctant to embark on World War III at this juncture. 13th 6 Lawrence Ph.

To his work as the editor of a small weekly newspaper, Mr. Ball brought a wealth of experience and careful study covering a wide range of human activities and affairs which is unusual even' among the carefully selected pundits of the metropolitan press.

As a result, his editorial comments often attracted nation-wide attention 'because they were authoritative and always reasoned with great care. One time we heard Mr. Ball tell a class at the University of Oregon School of SECURITY TII1NKING AMERICAN EUGENE To the Editor: Prior to the Second World's War and somewhat true of the period between it and the Korean War, the thinking capacities of the average American this means you and me not some other person, fell Into something resembling a cul-de-sac a place where a barrier exists to prevent any dissemination or outlet.

He never yielded to the feeling of inferiority which seems to inhibit so many small town editors. Ho was not content to settle into the rut of routine.

He fell that the Hood River News should be just as good in its way as the New York Times. He made it one of the distinguished papers of Oregon. We think that Hugh Ball set a tremendously important example. The great dallies are being narrowed down constantly to the few which can survive the enormous costs of large scale operation and the cry is often heard: "There Is no longer any opportunity for the ambitious younE newspaperman who would like to have a paper of his own." We dispute the theory that opportunity is dead. There are exceptional opportunities for young men with limited capital in the field of the community paper, but (he prospective publisher must bring to his work something more than the effort to "got by."
