"FOUR-BIT" VOTER
By Charles V. Stanton
Not lonjr ago, so the story goes, a huge missile soared
aloft from the launching pad at Cape Canavaral. It was
destined to orbit in space. The delicate equipment in its
nose, scheduled to be ejected from the main body of the in
tricate machine, was set to send back valuable information
from outer space information that would make space ex
ploration by human beings possible.
Scientists had worked many months, even years, in per
fecting the devices that entered into construction of the mis
sile and its transmitting device. Each tiny part had been
designed and manufactured with care. Exhaustive tests
had been conducted.
As preparations were made to fire the missile into
space, each step of the procedure was executed with care.
Each phase of the countdown was watched by a battery of
experts. Everything seemed in order. The countdown
reached its climax, a button was pressed, the missile sent
out a terrific blast of fire as it rose slowly from the pad
and gained speed as it tore its way upward.
Suddenly it began to veer from its course. Off the in
dicated path, it became a menace. A man at the base re
luctantly reached out his hand and touched a button. An
explosive charge in the missile tore it apart. Machinery
and equipment costing well over a million dollars fell harm
lessly into the sea.
Small Part Failed
What happened ?
A board of scientists and engineers gave careful and
exhaustive study to the failure. From their studies, they
learned that the missile went off course, and had to be
destroyed, because a valve failed at a critical moment.
The cost of the valve was around fifty cents. But, because
a fifty cent valve failed to open at the proper time, a loss
of more than one million dollars was incurred, while the
date of putting a man into space was delayed because de
sired information wasn't Immediately forthcoming, but had
to await a more successful firing at a later date.
We have experienced many failures with our missiles.
Frequently we read or hear of an experiment that went
awry because of some malfunction. But it hasn't been the
parts built after multi-million dollar research that have
gone wrong.
Instead, missiles have failed to act as planned because
a piece of tubing has failed to stand the stresses imposed
upon it. A valve has failed to open, a piece of wire broke
in the launching processes and one stage didn't get the elec
trical impulse it needed to fire at the right moment.
The average cost of the
rocket failures, we are told, is only slightly more than $2.50
each.
Small Things Important
But isn't that true of most things in life? Do not most
of our failures occur because we overlook small things, be
cause we postpone doing something, because we let one
little part or act influence something of great importance?
Don't we let little things guide us in matters of gov
ernment? Is it not true that we permit emotions rather
than reason to influence our votes and, as a result, cause
millions upon millions of dollars to be wasted, just as mil
lions of dollars worth of satellites and missiles have gone
into the sea because of the malfunctioning of a fifty cent
valve, or a piece of twenty five cent tubing?
Are we "four-bit" voters? Isn't a voter who fails to
exercise his right of franchise in the proper manner as
guilty of malfunction as the small part forcing destruction
of an expensive rocket carrier and the possible satellite?
Our representative form of government is a great ma
chine. It functions through a multitude of parts. The cost
of government is enormous. Yet the failure of just one of
its many functions can produce tremendous waste. One of
the functions is the proper exercise of the right of fran
chise by an informed electorate. If emotion, selfishness,
thoughtlessness enters into the act of franchise, permitting
emotions to rule over reason, isn't that a "four-bit" failure?
Jaundiced Britons In Buzz Over
Non -Jaundice Case Of Best Man
LONDON (AP)-Jeromy Fry,
handsome 35-ycnr-old aristocrat
who was supposed to bo best man
at the Princess Margaret wed
ding, has not ;ot Jaundice after
all hut his doctor cayi it's on the
V!V.
He's feeling ill and there Is no
other reason, Fry insists, why he
had to drop out as best man for
the wedding next month.
That's the gist of today's Lon
don newspaper reports on Fry's
caso of jaundice, a story which
most of the local press is carry
ing with thinly disguised skepti
cism. Fry's physician, Dr. H. Gordon
Noill, also told newsmen that his
patient is being given the normal
treatment for jaundice.
Fry is spending the time in a
four-poster bed in an elegant room
in his snacious home at Wide-
conihe Manor, 106 miles west of
London.
Fry himself is not accepting tel
ephone calls except those concern
ing his engineering firm. His wife,
Camilla, who is expecting their
third child next month, was inter
cepting all calls.

the Daily Herald reported that

been caught in a cave-in.

the area searching for FOOL'S
GOLD (iron pyrites).
Ah, me! What memories that
brings up.
The Lower Forty. Its rolling
hills, carpeted with blue grass.
The shellbark hickory trees, scat
tered here and there, providing
shade for the cattle in the sum

pick out in the winter. The persim

ple fruit, (o bitter and pickery if

allowed to nestle in the blue grass
until purged of its unsavory acids
by the first frosts of the fall.
The creek that wandered around
at the foot of the hills. The bluish
clay at the bottom of it. Two small

BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD
Medford Mail-Tribune
We have a chance to move back
into the 19th Century.
What we do to accomplish this
is to vote for R. F. Cook of Sil
vcrton for United States Senator,
and Leslie P. Fleming, Eugene,
for Congressman.
It is only fair to add that "poli
tical observers" (that'a a handy
phrase covering just about anyone
who reads a newspaper) do not
concede either Mr. Cook or Mr.
Fleming much of a chance for
election.
(The odds-on favorites for the Re
publican nomination to these of
fices are Elmo Smith of Albany
and Edwin Durno of Medford.
Leading Democratic candidates
are Mrs. Maurine Neuberger of
Portland and Charles O. Porter of
Eugene, respectively.)
But Mr. Cook and Mr. Fleming
do afford a chance to cast a senti
mental vote for tho "good old
days," when America had no
"farm problem, no torcign "en
tanglements," no income tax, no
federal responsibility for a dozen
different kinds of public service
Erograms, and when the "robber
arons" ran amuck through the
economy unchecked and ruthless.
Each of these gentlemen have
offered their "platforms" Mr.
Cook's in eight points, Mr. Flem
ing's in ten.
The platforms are remarKaoiy
similar to each other, and will
have some appeal to those who
believe tho federal government's
role in world leadership, welfare
programs, conservation, and regu
lation of business is too great.
Mr. Cook s program la short,
neat and to the point. It says:
1. Bolster private enterprise
against government in busi
ness. 2. Battle to relieve the blight
ing effects of inflation.
3. Man the dykes against the
trend of paternalism.
4. Demand action toward re
ducing the national budget and
debt.
5. Scrap the farm program in
an orderly and rapid manner.
6. Expose and oppose for
eign aid in an orderly and
rapid manner.
7. Encourage and stimulate
business by lowering taxes.
g. Shout down a Sand Dunes
National Park as unnecessary,
wasteful and trampling on pri
vate rights.
If one is- inclined to wonder if
Mr. Cook Is "for" anything, or
bases his program wholly on be
ing "against" certain things, one
has no such wonders concerning
Mr. Fleming's program. Each of
his ten points calls for the elim
ination of something of which he
disapproves.
His "elimination" program is as
follows:
1. Elimination of the federal
income tax.
2. Elimination of all foreign
aid.
3. Elimination of farm price
support program, and a prompt
return to the law of supply and
demand.
4. Elimination of federal aid
to education.
5. Elimination of any thought
of recognizing lied China.
6. Elimination of any pro
posed bills to socialize medi
cine. 7. Elimination of proposed
Oregon Dunes National Sea
ahoro Park Bill.
8. Elimination or urban re
newal programs.
9. Elimination of present
sugar program with Castro's
Cuba.
10. Elimination of all federal
participation in any program
not specified in the Constitu
tion. One suspects he'd rather like the
idea of eliminating the federal gov
ernment all together, and perhaps
return to the Articles of Confed
eration as our basic charter. E. A.

ing pretty good about their chances
to be relectcd this year. They have
been given some valuable assist
ance. Jimmy Holla, head ot the
Teamsters Union, has announced
that he will make every effort to
defeat Airs. Green and Mr. r.or
blad. Hoffa says he is opposing Mrs.
Green and Mr. Norblad because of
their votes on the Landrum-Griffin
bill, legislation designed to pro
tect members of unions from cor
rupt union officials. The Oregon
Representatives are in good com-
Kany. Hoffa has many others on
is purge list, including Sen. John
Kennedy who was chairman of the
Senate-House compromise commit
tee that wrote the racketeering
curbs bill finally passed by the
House and Senate. Only two mem
bers of the Senate, Wayne Morse
and the late Bill Langcr, were op
posed to the bill, and Morse has
been attacking Sen. Kennedy at
every opportunity for his vote.
The Senate rackets committee
this week spoke out in, very strong
language on Jimmy ' Hoffa. The
committee called him an ally of
gangsters, Deirayer ot leilow un
ionists and a corrupter of men.
The committee's statement said,
in part: "If Hoffa is successful in
combatting the combined weight of
the U. i. government and public
opinion, the cause of decent union
ism is lost and labor management
relations in this country will re
turn to the jungle era. Plundering
of union treasuries and hcallh and
welfare funds, ruthless denial of
democratic procedures, and out
right betrayal of rank and file of
members were clearly establish
ed." There can be no question that
public opinion was overwhelmingly
for the enactment of legislation
that would remove corrupt union
leaders. Legislators from every
slate in the Union were swamped
with demands for the legislation.

Devotions
Ttxt: St. Luke 14: 19-31
The story of the rich man and
Lazarus that Jesus told is not in
tended to be an accurate and liter
al description of heaven and hell,
nor is it intended as a condemna
tion of all the rich. Rather, it is
intended to tell us two things: first,
that each of us will have his life
judged by his actions while on this
earth, and by his attitude towards
the One who has risen from the
dead; and second, that much as
we might like to believe it, there is
only one life for each of us and
once we have made our choice it
becomes final.
There is no doctrine of the
"second chance" after death in the
teachings of Christ. Just as there
is no possible way to recall an an
gry or unkind word, onco wc have
said it, so there is no possibility of
us reliving our lives and making
them good after we have wasted
them and "lost" them. There is al
ways the possibility of changing our
minds and choosing to listen to
God, as long as we are in this
world. But once we have passed
the gates of death, there is no fur
ther opportunity of repenting and
returning to the family of Gcd's
redeemed.
The Prodigal Son saw his error,
and returned to his father's house;
but he did so before it was too
late, while he was still a pilgrim
in this earthly existence. Today's
parable teaches us that here is a
great gulf fixed between the bless
ings of the, sincere, practicing
Christian, and the person who is
too indifferent or too callous to
listen to God's Word in this life.
Like the rich man in the parable,
we all want our loved ones to have
the happiest and best possible
lives; and they will get that best
if we ourselves help them and lead
the way. Christ foresaw that even
His rising again from the dead
would not be sufficient to make
some people repent and turn to
faun in uod.
The saddest deaths are not those
of saintly Christians, but of those
whose lives leave little hone on
the part of their loved ones that
they have been received into Ab
raham's bosom." God gives us only
one life to live for Him.

Need Of Blood Program
To Tho Editor:
A stirring, never-to-be-forgotten
present was given our family a
short whde ago. Seventeen Doug
las County "friends" gave our son
a chance to live a normal life. It
was their generous foresight and
active contribution of whole blood
which enabled the surgeons to per
form open heart surgery on our
son, Robin, Feb. 10 of this year.
This free Red Cross blood was
necessary to activate a marvelous
piece of machinery, the heart-lung
machine, while a hole between the
lower chambers of his heart was
successfully repaired.
Because of other complications,
complications which followed sur
gery, we lost our little Robin.
One important thing is he was
given a chance!
It took Douglas County Red Cross
funds to collect and deliver the
blood which gave him that chance.
It also took ready-to-help loving
strangers who rolled up their sleev
es for that painless needle.
Although we will never see our
laughing, sweet little boy grow be
yond his thrce and-onc halt years,
years that we loved, played, taught
and prayed so hard for, we are
grateful for many blessings. One
of these is the fact that we have
an active Red Cross program.
We are hot financially nor phys
ically required to repay the Red
Cross for the blood. We do feel
morally obligated, however, and
are trying to repay pint by pint,
dollar by dollar.
Who is next on the list of human
catastrophe?
Our local blood program is sink
ing fast, mainly because of a lack
of funds to carry on. If we lose
this program, through lack of ac
tive foresight in supporting it,
blood no matter how urgently
needed no longer will be free.
Maybe it will not he available,
even at high cost. The need can
arise anywhere, at any time, and
I'm sure you who love your fam
ilies, as we loved our Robin, are
aware of the need of a blood pro
gram for protection of your loved
ones.
In Robin's memory we ask that
the people of Roseburg and all of
Douglas County not let the Red
Cross program fail, and possibly
put your family or friends into a
dangerous and costly position.
Again, in his memory, we ex
tend our deepest gratitude to all
those who gave him a chance at
life through their contributions of
blood and money to our Douglas
Countv Chapter of the American
Red Cross.
We join our angel chili! in asking
God's blessings for those who gave
us of their own life blood and for
the welfare of their loved ones al
ways. Francis and Rohema Horak

Ike's Support Seen
In New Wheat Bill
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen.
Milton R.- Young (R-ND) said
this week he is sure President
Eisenhower would back a wheat
bill raising the price support level
from the present 75 per cent of
paruy to au per cent along with
an acreage cut ol 20 per cent
Young attended Eisenhower's
conference Tuesday with congres
sional leaders, members of t h e
cabinet and Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon.
Much of the discussion, Young
said, was about the continuing ac
cumulation oi record wheat sur
pluses. While declining to discuss spe
cific details. Young said he is
convinced Eisenhower will go
along with aji increase in the
wheat price support level and an
acreage cut if Congress should
write such a bill to apply to the
rjtsi and lstiz crops.
This is in sharp contrast to the
position of Secretary of Agricul
ture Ezra Taft Benson. He has
proposed lowering of the wheat
price support levels and elimina
tion of planting controls.
Eisenhower last year vetoed a
wheat measure which would have
raised the support level to 90 per
cent of parity and cut wheat
acreage by 25 per cent.
Powell Tax Evasion
Charges Dismissed
NEW YORK (AP) The second
of three income tax evasion
charges against Rep. Adam Clay

! missed here in U. S. District
Court.
The Negro congressman re
mained on trial on the third
charge.
Judge Frederick van Pelt Bry
an dismissed one count ot the in
dictment Tuesday and the second
today.
The charge dismissed held that
Powell attempted to evade pay
ment of SI. 399. 69 in taxes owed
by his wife, jazz pianist Hazel
Scott, lor 1951.
Judge Bryan said the govern
ment had not established a prima
facie factual case and had
failed to make a case on the is
sue involved.
Tuesday the judge dismissed a
charge that Powell was guilty if
fraud in making out a joint re
turn for his wife and himself in
1952.
The remaining charge is that
Powell helped prepare a false in
come tax return for Miss Scott in
1951.
The judge denied a defense mo
lion for dismissal of this charge.

Freight Rate Increase
WASHINGTON (AP) The In
terstate Commerce Commission
was urged by one of its exam
iners Thursday to cancel a 5 per
cent freight rate increase which
motor carriers put into effect in
March, 1959, in 11 Western states.
The ICC let the increases, ap
plying to shipments under 10,000
pounds, go into effect subject to
subsequent justification.
Examiner Leonard J. Kassel
said the carriers, at a hearing in
Denver last June, failed to justify
the increases.
