Certainly there is room
I am suspicious of political
about "tifrht money," "high
and like issues.
Either they are proponinff a philosophy which I fee) is
exceedingly dangerous, or they are carelessly seeking to
influence votes by stirring up emotion with no real intent
of doing anything about the
Naturally we can expect the opposition to find fault
with the administration. The opposition isn't in power. It
isn't answerable to the public. Consequently it has little
hesitancy in finding fault. .
And, probably, that's as it should be. Only through
criticism, through differences of ideas and opinions,
through new formulas, through experimentation, can we
hope to progress. But I believe we also have the right to
expect responsibility in expression from those who seek to
be leaders. I am critical of
positions of trust, seek deliberately to mislead voters or
who sound the sweet music
lead voters into paths the
Inflationary Trend
I feel that it is not proper for a candidate to offer
criticism of a program he would not or could not change
if he had the power. If, on the other hand, the change he
proposes would be extremely dangerous, but would be ap
proved by him without thought of results, then it is my
opinion that person is unfit to be placed in office.
Possibly I am in complete error. I hope so. But I
feel that a lot of this talk about fiscal affairs is made to
sound sweet to voters. It is easy to criticize the "admin
istration's tight-money policy." ,
But, ask yourself a question ! If we didn't have tight
money wouldn't we be apt to have inflation?
It's easy to cry about high interest rates. Low interest
rates is one way of producing cheap money. If we have
cheap money don't we have Inflation?
. Are these people who weep about the effect of tight
money and high interest suggesting we should have infla
tion? . , .
Isn't it true that the nation's fiscal policy is largely de
termined by a non-partisan federal reserve board and that
the candidate couldn't do much about changing "tight-money
policies" even if he were in office? If lie lacks power
to direct policy isn't lie misleading voters when he critU
cizes? , y j . . ; .
It is doubtless true that in some fields the administra
tion could loosen controls without cooperation with the Fed
eral Reserve Board. But when such policies would lead to
inflation isn't cooperation with the Board in keem'ns- a
brake on economy Justified"
Policies Questioned
Some of our candidates are doing a lot of "sweet talk
ing" about public housing in this area where the timber in
dustry governs our economy. The' industry is stagnated,
they assert, because of a lack' of housing start. They
propose a big public program to prime the pump for pros
perity. But some of our economic experts tell us the reason
we aren't having more housing starts is that we're already
overbuilt in many localities.
- If, then, we build more houses, we will lower the value
on all property. At the same time we will be giving the
timber industry a false prosperity, with an assurance of a
still more disastrous slump at some later date.-
In my opinion, the candidate who is urging more pub
lic housing, who would promote cheap money, who would
destroy a financial system designed to control economy,
cither is simply trying to get votes by misleading voters, or
is failing to consider the assured results of his philosophv.
The candidate who talks for inflation out of one corner
of his mouth, while telling out of the other of his deep con
cern for the person on fixed income, is simply trying to
delude the unthinking for purposes of getting votes, I feel.
As I said, perhaps I am wrong. But it seems to me that
a person who is capable of deliberate distortion isn't
worthy of election.

Way To Kill Company Time
Is To Take Up Collection
NEW YORK (AP)-One of the
great ways to kill company time
in the modern business office is
Id take up a collection for some
body. In the old days you took up a
collection fur someone only when
he died or retired.
Today any excuse will do. You
take up a collection for a follow

head cold or his son gets bad
marks in high school algebra. ,
"Did you hear about poor old
Charlie's trouble?" someone asks.
And before you can find out
what's ailing Charlie, three eager
beavers are already going around
Ihe office to raise a fund for him.
If you have ever taken up a col

types will surely be familiar:

drop dead in my swivel chair and

"When are you going to take up

I'm interested in."

much you want from me."

a reputation for being generous,

collodion in the last 15 years. His

5. The topper "You think old
Charlie's got troubles?" he de
mands. "Let me tell you what
real troubles are." If you spend
45 minutes listening to all the
woes of his life, he will then
grudgingly contribute a dime to
your collection.

Let's take a look today at the
Congo which got its independence
s while back, but WASN'T READY
FOR IT. Plagued by bad leadership
and hamstrung by communist Rus
sia and its intrigues, it drove out
the whit man before the Congo
lese were prepared to run their
own affairs wisely and efficiently.
As a result, tragedy has stalked
the Congo. Among their other mis
fortunes, the Congolese have gone
hungry. With their economy limp
ing badly, there hain't been food
enough available to feed the peo
ple, i .
United Nations, with yeoman help
from the United States, hss been
doing its best to feed the hungry.
When the white men left, every

So
Food had to be brought in from
the outside. The United Stales (hav
ing vast supplies of it on hsnd as
a result of the surpluses arising
out of the operations of the farm
program) sent in hundreds of tons
of dried milk.
' But '
I As hss often been remarked, peo
ple are funny. The Congolese chil
dren don't like the taste of dried
milk. Maybe they are more civil
feed than we think. A lot of us here

the taste of dried milk powder
mixed with water. Anyway, the

credits this to two major factors
(1) "a Vigorous and effective pro
motional campaign" which has
been instituted on behalf of the
state and (2) "sound fiscal and
administrative policies by the state
treasurer's office."
Of course, he called for "a vote

ECONOMY EYED
Meanwhile. Monroe Sweetland,
Democratic candidate for aecretary
of state, speaking to the Northwest
rUDUC rower association in imu&
view, Wash, called for "an injec
tion of new primary industries of
a diversified ciiaracier wun year
around payrolls" to give the North
west's economy a boost.
He said Oregon and Washington
have many advantages over other
slates, including hydroelectric pow

standards of health, education and
recreation.
CONSERVATISM KNOCKED
llaurine Neuberger, Democratic
candidate for the U. S. Senate, is
continuinz her onslaught on her
opponent, Elmo Smith, and the
Kepunlicans generally lor ineir
conservatism.
Her latest subject Is water ana
air pollution. She called it "the
next major puonc neaun proDiem
America must meet."
Goini straight to the top, she
blamed President Eisenhower for
causing conservation to suffer "its
worst setback of the decade" by
vetoing the 1960 Water Pollution
Control Act.
She said she will work In the
Senate for legislation authorizing
an increase to $100 million annually
for federal grants to communities
for building sewage trestment
plants. She also called for research
by the Public Health Service to de
velop "effective and practical de
vices to control discharges of harm
ful and noxious mines from auto
mobile exhausts.
Turning back to her opponent,
she blsmed Smith for trying to stop
discriminatory practices against
job seekers. She said he voted
against prohibiting persons or
firms providing public services
from discriminating against per
sons for reasons of race, color or
religion and against a state fair
employment practices code to end
discriminaUon among job seekers.
She said she voted for them in
the slate Legislature.
'
BATTLE OF BANNERS
The current political campaign
has spawned a bsttla of bannera in
downtown Roseburg.
The Democrats started It with a
banner across SE Oak Ave. at Jack
son. It herslded the merits of Mail
rine Neuberger in big block let
ters. Then, they put in another
banner at right angles to the Neu
berger one proclaiming that this
was Democratic headquarters.
GETTING EVEN
The Republicans stsrted slowly
by stretching a bsnner cslling at
tention to their hesdquarters on
SK Jscksnn between Washington
and Douglas. v
JINKINS
vented what they called a Soviet
American cocktail. It was compos
ed of 40 parts of American dried
milk and 13 parts of Soviet sugar.
The rest of it was water presum
ably Congolese water.
That helped. The Congolese chil
dren tolerated the concocUon.
That suggests a thought:
Wouldn't it be wonderful if. IN
STEAD OF FINGERING THEIR
GUNS AND RATTLING THEIR
ROCKETS AND THEIR ATOM
BOMBS, Russia and the United
States could JOIN FORCES to al
leviate the hunger of the billions
of people in this world who (for one
reason or another) don't have
enough to eat?
Food Isn't the only lack that
has developed since the Dreanaown
of government, with the inevitably
accompanying breakdown of the
general economy, including aisirt-
hutinn nf food.
There are 400 hospitals in the
Congo. ,
ONLY 50 OF THEM HAVE DOC
TORS!
Whst hsDoened over there?
One thing that happened was that
a wild-eyed demagogue, teamed up
with the communists, ine dema
gogue is Lumumba. The Congolese
appear to have had the good sense
to throw him out, and so things
are looking a little Detter.
Hooeful thought:
Mavbe, in a somewhat similar
situation right here on our own
doorstep, the Cubans will eventual
ly have the good sense to throw
Wildman Castro out.
v
eviewd
Not satisfied, however, the Dem
ocrats moved right into the Re
puoucan headquarters area and
raised another banner across Jack
son at Douglas calling for the re
election of Charles O. Porter as
congressman.
This was going too far for the
Republicans. They pulled the final
coup by installing a banner calling
for election of Elton Jackson as
state senator across Jackson at
Oak. -
As one wag put it, "that's getting
even."
' ' CARNATION NEEDED
Charles Porter's hand is getting
sore apprently, because he's called
for voter help in gaining hand
shaking discrimination.
He has asked all uncommitted
voters in the campaign between
him and Dr. Edwin Durno to start
wearing red carnations.
He says some people will vote for
himt no matter what. Others will
vote 'sail ins t him, no matter what.
So he wants to concentrate only on ,
those who haven't decided in or
der to save palm wear.
DEBATE HELD
An interesting debate Monday
was the one at Coos Bay pitting
Porter against Reedsport s William
Tugman, the recent editor of the
Port Umpqua Courier.
The interesting facet is that Tug
man once was a supporter of Port
er s and even helped him enter
Harvard Law School. Now he
makes no bones about opposing
Porter. He is actively supporting
Durno.
RECREATION UNITS
A little off the main political
stream but still very much politic
is the decision made to conduct
special elections for Sutherlin and
Newton Creek recreational dis
tricts by the Douglas County court
on Friday. There being no opposi
tion to the districts at the hear
ings, the court's decision is virtual
ly automatic.
As Judge V. T. Jackson has
pointed out, the setting up of such
districts is no mere one-purpose
project. When they're formed
with boards of directors and the
power of tax levy they have pow
ers very much akin to an incorpor
ated city and perhaps more than
some cities.
The objective is to obtain what
are regarded as needed additions
to the area's recreational facilities
in Sutherlin, for instance, a swim
ming pool seems a prime imme
diate goal.
With their tax levying, land ac-
quisiton, and outer powers or au
thority, the recreational districts
would seem to be an interesting
study forthcoming in government
in Douglas County, it approved.
They are the first two such at
tempts in the county.
'
PROPOSITION NO. S
A rather technical decision is in
volved in Proposition No. 5, one of
tne 15 measurea to be sunmitled
at the coming election. The pro
posal would alter the methods of
cslling a constitutional convention
and, at tne same time, would per
mit more than one revision at a
time. The Constitution now pro
vides that revisions must be con
sidered singly and not as a group
or as a whole. At the same time,
the proposal would change the law
on initiative and referendum, giv
ing voters an alternate or a choice 1
where methods might be involved.
The proposal was almost unani
mously approved in the legislature
but. in the Senate, three attorneys.
Bovin, Dimick and Francis, voted
against it.

'Bitter' Says Rtadtr
To The Editor:

Sentiment of the vast majority

Sen. Morse this opposition seems
to be bitter to the extreme.
I can find no valid reason for

Equal Rights For All
To The Editor:
I have been accused of "harp
ing" on the subject of "Equal
Rights of Men and Women" but
since this is one of my "pets" in
the aims and objectives of the
Business and Professional Wom
en's Clubs this Business Women's
Week in an election yesr seems
a good time to present our esse
to the public. Since one of the
items in our National Legislative
Platform is the Equal Rights
Amendment it behooves us as Busi
ness and Professional Women to
work for this legislation.
It is true that we have come a
long way since that day 32 years
ago when a few brave women or
ganized the National Business and
Professional Women's Clubs with
the objective of elevating the
standards for women in business
and professions. As some of us
can well rememBer there were
very few fields at that time in
which a woman could seek employ
ment. She was perhaps no longer
.considered a "chattel" of her hus
band, but marriage was still the
principal career for a woman. The
only fields in which the could seek
gainful employment were teach
ing, perhaps being a companion to
some wealthy widow or as a do
mestic in a private home.
Now that women have invaded
so many fields formerly reserved
solely for the msle is no time for
us to relax our efforts for we still
have a long way to go. In two
slstes, at least, a wife'a wages be
long to her husband, in several

equal pay for eoual work.
in my own life in the works-day
world 1 know what discrimination
is. As a child I could not do the
things my brother could (little
girls didn't do those things). As a
teacher in the public schools my
salary was less than my male
contemporaries because they were
the "head of a family" yet my ed
ucation, my board and room and
my clothes cost just as much as
theirs. And as some one has so
aptly said "Sex may have brains
but brains have no sex." As a re
tail clerk and a member of the Re
tail Clerks Union my wages were
ten to fifteen cents less per hour
than the man I worked beside.
Again I could only work 44 hours
a week by law while the male
worker could work 48 or 53 hours
and draw time and a half for
overtime.
1 am sure that we as intelligent
women do not want to be put on a
pedestal or to be thought of and
referred to as feather brained or
lovely clothes horses. We want to
be judged for our jobs and careers
for our intelligence and qualifica
tions and not for our emotions.
Now that we have secured for
ourselves a place in the business
and work a day world, in factories,
offices, the professions and on
the farm, now that one third of the
working force of the country is
women, and we can choose careers
in five hundred or more fields, let
us go on to reach our goal of
Equal Rights for Men and Women.
In this election year let us study
our candidates and try for the
election of those sympathetic with
our aims and then call upon our
elected legislative officers to pass
the necessary laws to make our
rights equal to those of the men.
Be sure you are registered to
vote.

Reader Says Kennedy
Is Fighting Irishman
To The Editor:
Buy yourself a new pair of glass
es if you wish to see through the
political dust of 1960. To date, I
have avoided expressing myself
because justice to both sides of
the political war is my motto.
However, my good friend Charley
Stanton, of The News-Review has
aroused my ire to the nth degree.
In one editorial he laments the
fact that the political battle of 1960
is lacking in interest, is much too
calm and polite. He didn't- even
enjoy the first Kennedy-Nixon de
bate. Then, the last straw came
last Friday when he commented
on Mrs. Roosevelt selling prestige
on an inferior candidate, meaning
John F. Kennedy, of course. Like
Charley, our good friend Eleanor
has been in the driver's seat most
of her life; she couldn't stand to
see her good friend Adlai Steven
son defeated. Both Charley and
Eleanor' are far too bright to be
unable to recognize brilliance and
ability in John Kennedy. Eleanor,
being a woman, has tlm nriviiorjp
of changing her mind. Even the

a good loser. Torf, he will be the
good winner, a gentleman always.
He isn't slinging mud. You don t
hear him accusing Nixon of being
naive. Neither is he reminding
the public of Nixon's questionable
attempts to secure campaign funds
when he was running for vice
president of the U.S. It's a greater
hindrance to be wealthy than poor
in a presidential campaign. Yet,
Kennedy isn't feeling sorry for
himself as Nixon does when he
comments on being the poor boy.
Kennedy doesn't have to create
a new profile. He already has a
great one brave, happy, humor
ous, quick and brilliant. He's run
ning on his own record of four
teen years in the Senate and four
years in the service, lighting for
vou and me. Catholic and Protest
ant alike. He's not trying to ride
to victory on Gen. Eisenhower's
great white charger. He has a
Democratic platform worth fight
ing for. He doesn't have to appro-
firiate his opponent's platform and
nsist that the difference lies in
the means of accomplishment.
How dumb does Nixon think we
voters a.-e? We know the goals
are $1.25 an hour minimum wage,
medical care for the aged through
Social Security, federal aid to help
teachers' salaries as well as
schools, an adequate program of
slum clearance and housing.
We hope Mr. Nixon doesn't steal
our thunder. There's only one
road to our goal, and the great
John Kennedy knows it well.
The war of 1960 has just begun.
John Kennedy is in there slugging
as he did in World War II. He
is proud to be compared tQ Roose
velt and Truman, yet, he is now
running on their platform or laur
els. He dares to advocate the
"New Frontier." All the propa
ganda in the world and Associated
Press polls are not frightening
him. However, he's modest and
docs not see his picture on the
front page of Life magazine until
the last vote is counted.
Perhaps he's Jess imaginative
than Dewey or Nixon, or does he
wipe the dust off his political specs
occasionally? : . .' . .

travel by wheel as our ancestors
did, we must consider the early
freeways a marvel of ingenuity
When we recall that a whole nation
traveled to and fro at what were
then considered breakneck speeds
and that one brief moment of in' '
attention could result in a collision
or send one hurtling over preci

their skill and valor cannot be
denied.
Even their follies were notable
Vast numbers of potentially brill
liant students were deprived of ad
vanced cultural and technical
training because they happened to
be born within the poorer stratum
of society. This seems incompre
hensible to us now when all talent
and ability is recognized and re.
cruited. Many young people of that
time did not even avail themselves
of education that was possible be
cause of their intense preoccupa.
tion with vehicles and sex.
Sports were a fetish of the times
and were widely promoted as good
character training. When one con.
siders the student brawls attend
ing many such events, and the ac
companying commercialism and
racketeering, it is made easy for
us to agree with the philosopher ' 1
who once remarked that sports
bears the same relation to sports
manship that bullfighting docs to
agriculture.
One of the most astounding pre.
judices, however, was manifested
in the fiery controversy over the
presidential election of 1960. Many
say the White Home burned as a
result of faulty television equip,
ment brought in to televise the
Republican candidate as he lay in
state after having succumbed the
day of the election to a strange
staph infection, unconquered by
the medical science of the age.
Others claim that the incense
brought over by the Pope when
he came to the funeral of the vie. .
torious, assassinated Democratic
candidate was responsible for the
conflagration. At any rate, it set
a glowing exclamation point to the -most
ineffectual election of record
ed history. Its net results were no
president, no While House, and.
shortly thereafter, no country.
