Stanton The plan of the Association of Oregon and California Land Grant Counties to work cooperatively with federal agencies in recreational usage of forest lands is, in my opinion, very praiseworthy. ' The 18 counties in western Oregon receiving 0 & C mon ey have been utilizing a considerable sum to build roads. Now they propose to assign some revenue to recreation. The construction of roads is a good investment, I be lieve. Because roads have been built to provide access, the several counties have enlarged their manufacture of wood products. They have increased tax valuations by en larging facilities. They have provided more jobs and more payrolls by making possible a greater supply of raw ma terials for industrial use. We still need many hundreds of miles of access roads. The counties shouldn't stop the practice of joining in con struction of roads. But, at the same time, a similar pol icy should be applied to recreational use of forested lands, I believe. Nearly everyone believes in the theory of multiple use. We feel that our forest resources lend themselves to many purposes. Forests maintain watersheds. They supply raw materials for manufacturing purposes. They shelter wild life. They are ideal for recreation. Uses Neglected The Forest Service, in particular, lias long advocated the principle of multiple use. It has been long on theory, but short on practice. It has given lip service to the prin ciple but is hasn't done much for the development of any usage other than providing raw material for industrial pur poses. The blame, however, shouldn't be placed entirely on the Forest Service, except, perhaps, as it failed to beat the multiple use drum loud enough. Time and again the Forest Service has asked money for construction and maintenance of campgrounds, money for watershed management, money for wildlife administra tion, only to have its financial requests pared by the Bu reau of the Budget and by Congress. Although the Forest Service has paid the federal gov ernment five or six times as much money as has been spent on the forests. Congress has been stingy with funds for administration and development and has shown a very unbusinesslike attitude toward full use of the federal re source. Bureau of Land Management timber has been managed in a. somewhat better manner, although it too could be more efficiently handled if given adequate support from Con gress. But the Bureau of Land Management for a time, at least, was a strong political organization and had politi cal support from several influential sources support not received by the Forest Service which stayed nearer its position as a career agency. Lands Threatened Because the Forest Service hasn't propagandized its position as much as has been done by some other agen cies, and because it hasn't given more than Hp service to the multiple use idea, it now finds its huge acreage of tim ber land threatened. The land and water hungry U.S. Park Service is seek ing to grab huge chunks of our national forests. They would use the forest resource for one purpose only rec reation. Where the Forest Service maintains a resource for industry only, the Park Service would chase industry out of the region and would lock resources in the ice box. A good example is found in the proposal for a Dunes National Seashore Park in the Florence area. That would take over an area now largely in public control, but open for development by free enterprise, use millions of dollars of public tax money for development, grant operation to monopolistic concessionaires, the same recreation they now get for free. The Sierra Club is sponsoring a move to take over a big section of the Three Sisters area for a wilderness area, which would create a single purpose rather than a multiple purpose and thus cut down on industrial operation, one of Oregon's greatest needs. While the federal government should be doing more toward multiple use of the public domain, including recrea tion, it is apparent that little is being done. If the O & C counties, through cooperation, can start the ball rolling for better usage of forest areas, the program is indeed merited. Jamti Marhw Candidates' Debates To Be Something Less Than Great WASHINGTON (AP) - The "great debates" on TV between the presidential candidates figure to be something less than full de bates and probably something less than great. In all four confrontations be tween Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy newsmen and television commen I a tors will be on the nation's screens with them, asking ques tions. . This is a lot different from watching the two candidates standing face to face, by them selves, pegging arguments' at each other. In at least one of the four encounters the candidates will be a continent apart, appearing on split screens. These meetings will be historic to the degree it will be the first time presidential candidates meet on TV to discuss the issues no matter how they do the discussing. The first invitation to the two men to join in a "great debate" came from Robert W. Sarnoff, hoard chairman of the National Broadcasting Co., after the nation al political conventions in July. The result Is that all the na tional TV and rndio networks will carry th debated, each lasting an hour. This is the way thev will go: First meeting Monday, Sept. 26, from Chicago from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. KDT. The discussion will ba on domestic policy. Each candidate will be given Ore. Wed., Sept. 21, 1960 and charge Oregonians for eight minutes as an opener. Then a panel of four TV people will ask one of them a Question. He'll i get three minutes to answer. Then his opponent gets l'i minutes to reply. The panel will then ask the sec ond man a question. He'll get three minutes to answer. His op ponent gets l'i minutes to reply. This will go on until only six rain utes are left. Then each of the two candidates will get three minutes to sum up. Second meeting Fndav, Oct. 7 from New York from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. EDT. This probably will take the form of a news conference with a panel of newsmen asking questions of both candidates. On this one Mxoa and Kennedy will appear together if possible. If they both can t be in New York at the same time, they'll have to appear on a split screen to answer Ule questions. Third rnecting-Thursdav, Oct. 13 from 7:30 to 8:30 n. ni. EDT. with the program originating in New York. This also will take the form of a news conference but will be on a split screen w ith Nixon i in Los angelea and Kennedy in new lorn. Fourth meeting Fndav. Oct. 21 from to to 11 p. m. EDT, from New York. This will follow the form of the first meeting with a panel of TV commentators asking quesUons. The subject will be for eign policy. r In The Days News I FRANK From Buenos Aires: I Reared Navy Captain Ernesto Recaredo Vazquez has taken over ma mgciMiuaa ucw imri UI JUUCC after an investigation of corruption charges among high officers. Pres ident Arturo Frondizi appointed him after removing from the top Argentine police spot Rear Admir al Ezequiel Niceto Vega, a TRUST ED FRIEND who was married to Frondizi'a sister-in-law. HMMMMMMM. This man Frondizi seems to be all right. . .to have what it takes to "hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may." In most of Latin America, it takes courage to crack down on a rela tive who has been doing things he shouldn't. Frondizi seems to incline to "Hew to the right line, and let the chips fall where they may." Who is Frondizi? He is the first man to be chosen president of Argentina in a FREE elecUon after the fall of Dictator Juan Peron. When Peron finally fell in September of 1955, he was replaced in November of the same year by a military junta, which chose General Arumburu provision al president, lie restored civil lib erties, dissolved the Peronist party and RETURNED EXPROPRIA TED PROPERTY to its rightful owners. In the first free elections after 12 years of Peronist dictatorship. Dr. Arturo Frondizi was elect'J by a landslide. He has had his troubles, but he seems to have done a pretty good job. All of which seems to offer some hope that after Crazy Man Castro nas nad his lung the Cubans may tire of him and elect a decent Cuban President in a free election. Anyway, let's hope so. Question: Who first coined the phrase: "Hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may? It was first spoken by Roscoe Conkling in June of 1380 at the Republican national convention in Chicago in a speech nominating Ulysses S. Grant for a THIRD TERM as President of the United States. Conkling was a great orator and he delivered a powerful speech and created wild applause that lasted for 29 minutes. He began by saying: "If asked what state he hails from, "Our sole reply shall be "He comes from Appomatox "And the famous apple tree." Farther along in his speech, Conkling said: "He will hew to the line of right, and let the chips fall where they may." Truckers Join Rail Rate Row WASHINGTON (AP) Pacific northwest truckers Tuesday joined waterway and port interests in protesting proposed rail rate re ductions of about 25 per cent on grains moving to the Washington Oregon seaboard. The proposed cuts, filed last month with the Interstate Com merce Commission are due to be come effective Sept. 30 unless the ICC intervenes with a suspension order. Tuesday was the cut-off date for submitting opposition statements. The Pacific Inland Tariff Bu reau filed the protest on behalf of area motor carriers, contend ing there is "no sound basis for the extreme proposed reductions on grains. ' Similar protests have been re ceived from the Inland Emmie Waterways Association on behalf nt barge lines, the Portland (Ore.) Public Docks Commission, the ports of Astoria. Ore.. I.oneview. Wash., and Vancouver, Wash., the lidewater-Shaver Barge Lines and Albany Barge Lines, both of Port land, and River Grain Terminals which operates elevator and stor age facilities at Burbank, Wash The railroads contend the re ductions are necessary to recover grain business lost in recent years to unregulated barge and truck operations. They say grains moving by barge are exempt from rate reg ulations as a bulk commodity, and the trucking rates are unregulated because grain is a farm product. On the other hand, the protest ing groups have asked ICC to note the railroads made a prev ious 2o per cent reduction in the grain rates two years ago, and are handling most of the grain shipments to tidewater deslina- Uons. They argue new cuts would dis rupt present traffic patterns and might destroy waterway compe tition. The port of Astoria made a sep arate complaint that the projected adiustments discriminate against Astoria and destroy its parity re lationships with adjacent port cities. The reductions would apply on grains from Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon. Northern Idaho, and weetern Montana. Forestry Agency Asked By Smith SWEET HOME (AP) A sin 1 gle agency should be formed to coordinate all Oregon forestry ac , tivities, Elmo Smith has proposed ! The Republican candidate for the 1'. S. Senate told a meeting here Tuesday that a new over all : board should be set up. It would j need to be a joint state-federal , operation, he said, and the log ging industry should join. too. i The aim. Smith said, would be i to stahilire management and mar i kcting of this major Oregon re 1 source. ! He called, too. for rapid con struction of access roads to open up all available commercial for lest land. JENKINS In spite of the anti-third term tradition. Grant received 304 votes and soon after the balloting began he got two more, bringing bis total to 306, which he held almost to the last. On the 34th ballot, James Garfield received Wisconsin's 16 votes, and on the 36th ballot he received 399 votes, or 21 more than were necessary for a choice. The anti-third term tradition, which worked strongly against Grant in the 1880 Chicago conven tion, remained unbroken until 1940, when the Democrats nominated Franklin D. Roosevelt for a third term, with World War II in the offing, and he carried 38 states to Wendell Wilkie't ten. He was elected to a fourth term in 1944.

But never, even in the worst days of Dean Acluson and his good friend, Alger Hiss, has it done any thing to equal in nefariousness the deliberate betrayal of Sing man Rhee and his South Ko reans; imposing on South Ko rea, by force and by pressures of our Government, the rule of a small, noisy, dirty, vicious, Communist-led minority."

Flegel Draws Support On Handling Of Meeting To the Editor: I have just seen Mrs. De Mar's letter regarding the Interim Educa tion Meeting held in Salem, Sept. 8th. Your readers should have more facts. Rep. Al Flegel of Roseburg, vice chairman of the committee, pre sided in the absence of the chair man, Sen. Ward Cook. A hearing was scheduled Thursday evening (Sept. 8th) for the purpose of giv ing opponents to School District Reorganization an opportunity to present their objections and recom mendations. The committee clerk had prepared an agenda listing the names of all persons who had indicated a desire to be- heard. During the course of the hearing, one of the members of the au dience (Mrs. Audrey Henry of Port land) asked permission to direct a question to one of the committee members. Rep. Flegel advised her, and properly, that she could not question either witnesses or com mittee members: he stated that if she had material to present, the committee would be pleased to hear her testimony after the sched uled speakers had concluded. Rep. Flegel reminded the audi ence that the hour was late, and requested the speakers not to re peat the same arguments which had been presented. He suggested that if they concurred with previ ous speakers merely to say so and then to present any new material thev had. The speakers, however, continued to restate testimony that had been given previously. Time ran on. Finally at about 10:20 or 10:25 the agenda was completed, and Mrs. Henry was asked to pre sent her testimony. Rep. Flegel re minded her ot the committee de sire to adjourn by 10:30. I took issue with him on the basis that if speakers present wanted to testify, we should stay to hear them. We continued in session until about 11 p.m. Had the speakers respected Rep Flegel's requests about repetitious statements, there would have been ample time for Mrs. Henry to pre sent her testimony- there would have been no problem. Now a word on behalf of Rep Flegel: 1. He showed remarkable pa tience, tolerance and understand ing. 2. He was courteous and con siderate. 3. He did everything possible to encourage more audience partici pation so that committee members could be better informed. 4. He rightly refused to let a member of the audience examine another witness or committee mem bcr. If committee hearings break down to the point where witness cross-examines witness and com mittee members, the factual, im partial objective nature of a hear ing is destroyed. A committee, of course, is not bound by the same technical rules as a court of law but orderly, reasonable procedures are necessary if the committee is to perform its function and deter mine a legislative policy on im partial consideration of facts. 5. Some opponents of School Dis trict Reorganization are factual- others aro highly emotional. Hep Flegel attempted to relax the tense atmosphere in his own humorous and friendly way. 6. It has been a pleasure serv ing with Al this past year on the Education Committee. He is a hard and conscientious worker. My only complaint is that he is too good a watch dog and protector of O Si C funds. Jean L. Lewis State Senator Public Service Building Portland, Oregon.

Vot ers have until 8 p.m. Oct. 8 to qualify by registration to vote on ElecUon Day, .Nov. 8. County Clerk Charles Doerner has attempted to make the matter of registration easy for everyone by appointing registrars to serve in every community throughout the county.

Labor unions have been doing a particularly good job in getting the names of workers on poll books. Precinct workers are going from door to door urging registration. There is no good reason why any one should not be qualified to vote at the forthcoming election he cause of failure to be registered. But registration is only one of the many qualifications necessary to be a good voter. Even though a voter may be properly registered he is not a good voter simply be cause of that fact. The good voter is one who, after ascertaining that he is properly qualified, makes every effort to in form himself concerning candi dates and issues; one who refuses to be herded; one who seeks by his vote to help direct the affairs of government; one who does the duty expected of him, just as he ex pects those he elects to be re sponsible in their service. So, registration is of first and immediate importance, but is worse than useless if the voter fails to vote with intelligence and responsibility. APPEARANCES SLATED Kennedy and Nixon, the two pres idential candidates, are to make appearances and talks simultane ously. The programs are to be carried to the nation's populace by television and radio. Three pro grams have been scheduled, Sept. 26. Oct. 7, Oct. 13. The first program will come to Roseburg on television and radio from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Some observers feel that Nixon pulled a "fast one" when he ob tained an agreement that the talks would be extemporaneous. Nixon is a trained and experienced law yer. Kennedy, on the other hand, has shown some slowness in non prepared talks and has, upon oc casion pulled "boners" which have hurt his campaign, such as the speech in Oregon where, he indi cated that Eisenhower should ex press regrets over the U-2 incident. One thing, however, is evident, and this has been trUe since tele vision became a factor in political campaigning: much of a candi date's influence on the voter is tied up in his ability as a per former. That leads to the question will (he Screen Actor's Guild require that politicians join the union? ACTIONS DEBATED Mrs. Neuberger has launched an attack against Smith charging that his was the only vote in the Oregon Senate against a Senate Joint Memorial concerning development of "adequate power to prevent ag gression" in the United Nations. As he was the only member of the senate to oppose the resolu tion, Mrs. Neuberger says he de livered an insult "to the courage, ground. He will be alert for the wavering bicycle rider, the small scholar who is thinking more of what he wants to tell teacher than what mother told him about streets and cars.

Her statement : used the names of a number of prominent Republicans who sup-j ported the resolution. ! Smith contends that the resoIu- tion favored "formation of a world I pnvprnmpnt" and lhat "I fear it wmilH hA disastrous in these neri-1 lous times to place the fate of the world irrevocably in the hands of a world government subjected to the influence of Communist and satellite nations." "Apparently my opponent favors the formation of a world govern ment," Smith said. "I do not." The 1951 session revoked the 1949 memorial, Smith says, and pro posed one "so simply worded it was virtually meaningless." "I ex pressed my resentment at this meaningless measure designed only to save embarrassment for the legislators who had reversed themselves," Smith asserted. Contending that his declaration that he was attempting to prevent embarrassment insulted the intel ligence of other members of the senate, Mrs. Neuberger asks, "Could all of these Republican sen ators have been wrong in voting to support the United Nations and only Elmo Smith right?" All of which is interesting in view' of the fact that the two candi dates, appearing together on a tel evision program, equally endorsed the United Nations, VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN ' Maurine Neuberger, widow of the late Sen Richard L. Neuberg er, who seeks the seat left vacant by the death of her "husband, a leader in the Democratic party, has launched a very vigorous cam paign. She and her Republican oppo nent. Elmo Smith, former Oregon legislator and one-time governor, started campaigning early. Smith has been covering tne state by air plane and has received much com ment concerning the "New Smith." His political enemies ridicule his "charm" while his friends are pleased by his vastly improved public relations and ability in ap proach. Mrs. Neuberger has made much of what she describes as an ultra concervative record during the time Smith was in the legislature. She has stepped up the tempo of her campav:n and is circulating throughout the state in her appeal to voters. In addition to criticism of her opponent, she has recently advo cated increased federal funds for research activities by the National Institutes of Health into cancer, heart, arthritis, neurology and oth er diseases. She says she will urge Congress to authorize a 10-year program of matching grants for construction of medical, dental and public health educational facilities. In a talk at Corvallis she proposed that food surpluses should be taken "out of the storage bins and onto the dinner table." She approved the two-price wheat program, mak ing surplus wheat available for poultry and livestock feed purpos es. She also advocated the "food-for-peace" program as a means of "winning friends in hungry lands overseas." She also spoke in favor of a more intpnse research effort into the control of insects and dis eases damaging timber. BILLBOARD USE CRITICIZED Mrs. Neuberger also has found fault with Smith on the matter of the use of billboards. Smith, who has been working every angle for election, has been utilizing billboard advertising. Mrs. Neuberger's late husband was greatly opposed to billboards and was one of the authors and advocates of anti-billboard legisla tion. She declares she wouldn't use the things. Smith says his messages are on sites carefully picked by commer cial organizations and that the declaration of C. Girard (Jebbie) Davidson. Democratic national committeeman, that Smith is con tributing to "the billboard blight on the nation's highways." is "an other example of ill-intentioned, ill informed people sounding off." So goes politics. In the meantime. Smith is put ting a lot of emphasis on a con- tinued program for peace, but a i strong defense. Oregon needs more jobs and in dustry, says Smith, who pledges his support for development of na tural resources, ports and high ways and a businesslike adminis tration of Oregon forests. .

Perhaps realizing this, the Reporter has tended to an editorial page conservativeness which its readers are wont to call everything from "statesmanlike" to "stuffy." Whatever the case, the paper has claimed that Nixon in his vis its drummed up more "real" en thusiasm than Kennedy in Port land, in the view of a news story reporter. There were reasons con tributing much Kennedy satur ation in the primaries, an advant age of a downtown parade for Nix on. But, still, he felt, the spirit seemed to be more with the vice president. He claimed a Kennedy man ad mitted as much "but it's a ques tion whether it (the Nixon spirit) will prevail in November." OLD PAPER NEW FACE At the opposite end of the state a new publisher of recent months, Edd Rountree, has been frying the editorial "fat" at the Ashland Dai-, ly Tidings. Roundtree is like his predeces sor only in that they both are con servative Republicans. But here in the old days the editorial copy was inclined toward a middle-of-the-road course, Rountree makes no bones about on which side of the highway he's driving. The relative newcomer to the Oregon publishing scene has so far confined himself mainly to at. tacking Rep. Porter and he does it with both gloves swinging for the button. For example, he thought a major failure of the recent Porter visit to a Swedish peace mission was that Porter relumed. Thus setting its sights on the Democratic target and in terri tory also peopled by the ileo'ford Mail Tribune, a' long time liberal Democratic paper the Tidings ap pears to promise a lively editorial show for neighboring Jackson County until Nov. 8. HERE OFTEN Speaking of Porter, D o u g 1 a I County residents can expect to see a lot of him in the next few weeks. He gave a preview of his inter est in wooing the voters in the county last week in his first major campaign visit. He spent half the day around uptown Roseburg hand shaking, and he promised that he was going to make many more visits to the county. The first re turn, of course, will be with the other state and national candidates of the Democratic party who will . be here for a box social and politi cal rouser next Tuesday at the Fairgrounds. Incidentally, one intcresling fa cet of the campaign for U. S. rep resentative from the 4th Con gressional District is a series of debates being planned between Porter and the Republican who hopes to unseat him, Dr. Edwin Durno of Medford. None has yet been slated for Douglas County, but it is possible. And the different points of view could be compared side by side. Durno is also planning more for ays into the county in the near future, according to his campaign manager, Ray Puckett. Durno made a quick stop in Roseburg Saturday for labor's support.

Candidates from bofh parties started last week campaigning with renewed intensity. A platoon of six candidates invaded the Tenmile Woman's Club for the Coffee for Nixon session there last Thursday, five candidates made their pitches at a union meeting in Glendale Sunday, and two more spoke at a coffee session in Yoncalla Tuesday afternoon. , It sounds as if the candidates are carrying their campaigns to the people in squads, but they are also acting singly. Most of the can didates are making efforts to set up speaking engagements. Any group that needs a speaker on political subjects will have no trouble, at least until Nov. 8.
