By Charles V. Stanton It seems rather amusinir to me to read the gloating, "I told you so," to be found tion m made of the Al Sarena properties. The Al Sarena properties before the turn of the century prospectors found alow grade of ore on the lands near the summit of the moun tains. Mining claims were filed. But the ore was of such low grade it couldn't be worked by the individual miner, Claims Were purchased was made for patent. The before timber had any value. law to prevent the timber from passing into the hands of the owners with the filing of patent, Tests were made to ascertain that the properties contained precious minerals. At that time two men, both now deceased, were bitter political rivals. The late Doug crnor, later Secretary of the Interior, was seeking the sena torial seat now held by Sen. Morse. Sen. Neuberger went after McKays scalp, making a grand play on the Al Sa rena case. Assays Questioned There was a considerable hassle about manipulation of records and the loss of assays. It was claimed that the assays ordered by McKay didn't jibe with those made by the isureau of L,and Management. Neuberger exploited the term "give away." He insisted that the owners of the property were after only the timber. He made it-appear that McKay was permitting the government to be robbed of a valued possession. McKay, nn the other hand, claimed that the federal government bad no right under the law to withhold patent, inasmuch as all other requirements had been observed. But the emotions aroused by the Al Sarena "give away" prevailed. McKay was beaten. Although he was one of the country's best informed conservationists he was accused of mistreatment i and abuse of resources. The company had been trying for some eight years to get title. It claimed that it could mine low grade ore only in large quantities, that it needed money to secure the re quired equipment and could negotiate a loan only after procuring patents. But a dispute arose over mineralization of the property. The company and the federal government remained in dis agreement until the Administration was changed and Mc Kay was named. , A survey then was made by- the Bureau of Mines and an assay by an independent comnanv. McKav irrantpd the patents. Neuberger raised mat tne ieuerai agencies involved hadn't been properly notified, u - No Mining Evidence , I any event, Neuberger gained the victory. Patent, of course, has been granted, but McKay was beaten. Morse, who later was to engage in a feud with Neuberger, was elected. Al Sarena promptly disappeared from the picture. Nothing was done. Recently the owners, apparently dispairing of any prospects for mining, sold off the timber. The purchaser says he paid around $100,000 for the lands and the timber. The federal government received only $2,375 for the property. Now the "I told you so" approach is being taken by the same forces that earlier opposed patents nnd claimed that the whole deal was a timber grab. They supplement their argument with the fact that there is no evidence of any mining having been carried on for years, claiming that is proof that the owners had no intention of mining. It would be extremely interesting if those who take this position would tell of any gold mine, even high grade, that can make a profit today. Will they say that those who claim they sought the properties for minerals would not have mined had the price of gold been allowed to seek its market level instead of being pegged by the federal gov ernment? If after 22 years the owners were unable to do anything with the property in the way of mining, should they be criticized for getting out what little value re mained? And who pegged the price of gold and completely slop, ped gold mining? Will the liberals blame that on the 'tight money policy of the administration?"

Assembly to bring President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev together at the conference table finally failed, and five neutralist nations with drew their resolution urging a U.S. Soviet SUMMIT meeting. Is that a calamity? Personally, 1 doubt it. Our experience with "summit" meetings hasn't been particularly happy. We held one at Tehran back in 1943. It was participated in by Britain's Churchill, America's K.D.R. and Russia's Joseph Stalin. It wound up with a declaration that stated in part that the three na tions represented "shall work TO GETHER in the war and in the peace ... to BUILD A WORLD OF DEMOCRATIC NATIONS." Russia's chief job now is to DE STROY the democratic nations. There was another "summit" meeting at Yalta in 1945. It agreed to the split-up in Eastern Europe that resulted in the carving up of Germany in the manner that is now causing so much trouble in Berlin and in giving to Russia the hopeful little nations of Czechoslo vakia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, etc. all of which now lave their necks under the heel of Russian communist despotism. There was another summit meet ing away back at the beginning of the 1800's. It was participated in by Napoleon Bonaparte and Czar Alexander I of Russia. We all know what Bonaparte was if, that is, we haven't forgotten our Appling Urges 'No' Vote On Income Tax Resolution COOS BAY fAP)-Secrelary of State Howell Appling Jr. today urged Oregon voters to reject, as unnecessary, ballot measure No. 14 that would raise state income taxes. Appling said in prepared re marks the tax increase is un necessary because the state al ready has all the revenue it needs under present tax rates. The measure, would aoousn tne teaerai tax deduction for state taxpayers and add an estimated $6.4 million in slate revenue. It was referred lo the oeoDle bv petition. The Republican candidato for secretary of stale also criticized his Democratic opponent, Monroe Sweelland, for what Appling term ed Sweetland's support of the tax increase measure. "My opponent" Appling said. "Is lamely attempting to explain his suDDort for this unnecessary tax increase by talking about some imaginary deficit in state revenues. The plain fact is that the stale will have a surplus of over $30 million more than it needs." Appling was here and in Flo Central Railroad Crash Kills One NEW YORK f API A New York Central freight train crash killed one man and injured another to day and held up commuter traffic on the railroad's Hudson Division. All four tracks of the Central s main line were blocked. The crash occurred at 5:47 a.m. A northbound freight struck the rear of another train standing still on the same track, the rail road said. The man killed was identified by police as Oscar Fiero, 58, of Chatterton, N.Y. Japan, Britain Agree TOKYO (API Japan and Bri tain agreed today on a $1.4 mil lion payment by Japan for losses by British citizens and their gov ernment during Japan's pre World War II campaign in China. The negotiations began in 1959. The Cartoonist Says: "You Were Great!" JENKINS EE history lessons. Czar Alexander I was a fuzzy sentimentalist who was fond of saying that "he would gladly have everyone free '' everyone was PREPARED to c. freely what he wished" and add ing that he would gladly abolish serfdom in Russia, even if it COST HIM HIS HEAD but civil ization was not yet far enough ad vanced to make abolishment of serfdom feasible." And so on. The two imperial summiteers met on a raft in the middle of the Neimen river near a place call ed Tilsit and carried on their fool ishness for 11 days. Among other things, Alexander struck an atti tude and said to Napoleon: "What is Europe? WE are Europe!" Tbey had themselves a ball. If the world had had TV in those days, the TV boys would have gone to town in a big way. If there had been newspapers that were free to print THE NEWS and free to make honest profits big enough to send their special cor respondents to Tilsit, they would have done so and their editors would have written hifalutin' edi torials about the importance of SUMMIT meetings. Historic note: After the big SUMMIT meeting at Tilsit, EUROPE WENT TO POT AGAIN. So I think It is perhaps just as well that this much-publicized meeting be tween Ike and Kroosh has fallen apart again. rence and Lakeside today on a three-day swing along the Oregon coast.

Ike Asked To Delay Two Deportations PORTLAND (AP) Appeals were directed to President Eisen hower Friday asking a delay in ma scneauied deportations of two roruand men, Hamish Scott Mac Kay and William Mackie. The two men were ordered de- ported on grounds that they are aliens wno once had been mem bers of the Communist Party. MacKay, 55. is a native of Can. ada. He has lived in Oregon for more than 30 years. Mackie, 51, was born in Finland and was brought to Portland by his parents when he was 10 months old. Immigration Service officials. be gan deportation action against the pair 10 years ago. Both men deny that they were Communists. Appeals on behalf of the two men were sent by their attorneys also to Vice President Richard Mxon, U. S. Ally. Gen. William F. Rogers. Gov. Mark O. Hat- field, Secretary of State Howell Appling, and Oregon Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. Weather Halts Hatfield Talks SALEM fAP) Bad weather has forced Gov. Mark Hatfield to cancel campaign appearances at Newport, TUlamook, Astoria and at. iieiens. He appeared at Albany with John Roosevelt, Republican son of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But he was unable to go from there for his flying tour on behalf of GOP candidates. He plans to appear Saturday at Enterprise, Pendleton and The Dalles. Hatfield plans to go Saturday night to the opening of the Pacific International Exposition in Fort-land. Hatfield Heris Smith Campaign ALBANY, Ore. (AP)-Republi-can Elmo Smith, running for the U.S. Senate, announced that Gov. Mark O. Hatfield will serve as honorary chairman for the rest of his campaign. Smith, an Albany newspaper publisher and former governor, made the announcement in his hometown as he and Hatfield cam paigned shoulder to shoulder. Albany was the first stop on a Republican campaign caravan led by the two men that started to day on a tour of the 1st District. "I'm proud to announce that Gov. Hatfield will head my cam paign as honorary chairman," Smith said. "Democracy is a team effort," Hatfield said in remarks prepared for a political rally on the Linn County Courthouse steps this morning. "Elmo Smith served as my cam paign chairman in 1958, and I am happy to be a member of his team in 1960. I'm working my hardest to elect him to the Senate. "Gov. Smith and I have worked together in public service many years. Oregon needs Elmo Smith in the United Slates Senate." Hatfield said Oregon needs the best possible liaison between the U. S. Senate and the state c.ipitol in Salem. "Oregon needs the closest possible cooperation in the Senate in order to bring more jobs and industry to our state." Sen. Morse Nixes N. Dakota Ballot BISMARCK, N. D. (AP)-Some kind of legal aclion, possibly a request for an injunction, was ex pected today in an attempt by Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., to keep his name off the Norlh Dakota ballot. The move to put Morse's name on the ballot materialized when K. William Simons, Zap, N. D., school teacher, filed petitions for himself and three other persons to be presidential electors support, ing Morse. Simons said his move was an effort to create a third political party, bearing the name Nonpar tisan League. The league has been active for years, but has never altempted to legalize its status in to a party as it could if its electors receive 5 per cent of the total vote. William S. Murray, Bismarch attorney representing Morse, wrote Secretary of State Ben Meier: "I put you on notice that he (Morse) does not want his name.. .in any respect on this bal lot, nor the names of any persons claiming to be pledged to him Candidate Urges National Forest PENDLETON (AP)-Ron Phair, Republican candidate for Con gross in the 2nd District, today urged that a Klamath National Forest be created next year. Phair said he wrote to Vice President Richard M. Nixon urg ing that Nixon, if elected presi dent, give every consideration to the proposal. Phair said he found intense con cern over the Klamath Termina tion Act and the proposed Klam ath National Forest. The termina tion act provides for the transfer of unsold Klamath Indian Reser vation lands to the U. S. Forest Service. Phair said the Forest Service now is considering a move to di vide the forest land for adminis trative purposes rather than ere ate a new national forest. Phair, Klamath Falls business man. said a new national forest would put the administrative of fices in Klamath falls and a divi sion of the land between existing national forests would mean it would be administered by offices already existing elsewhere.

In a good many countries of the world today the matter of select ing a ruler would be exceedingly disturbing. Some countries go through a process of revolution, usually with bloodshed. Others must vote a single ticket at the point of a gun. Few nations throuehout the world have the ab solute freedom of choice to be found in the United States, where we have no monarch!, no dicta tors. The American voter has an ab- solute freedom of choice. It is his Dower to vote for whom he pleas es. He decides the philosophy to be followed. He may vote.or he may fail to vote, or he may even refuse to vote. In no case is any one standing over him with a gun telling him how he can vote. And when the decision is made, there will be no danger of revolu tion inspired by the losers. There will be no danger that a dictator will arbitrarily set aside the ver diet rendered by the voter. In stead, the loser will freely give his support to those with whom he was in opposition only a short time oetore. It seems to me that of all places in the world where people should be proud of the right to vote, and where they should vote, and voter with the most sincere honesty of purpose, is here in the United States. CHANGE APPARFNT A decided change in the politi cal campaign is in evidence in Douglas County. The change, in fact, is apparent throughout all of southwestern Oregon. Southwestern Oregon is no long-': er being wooed in person ay tne "big shots : in pontics, candi dates and their supporters are con centrating on the more populous areas. They have done a lot of campaigning here where the vote is comparateively small. Now they are moving into metropolitan areas where there are more voters. , Candidates probably, will make a few short trips into the district between now and election day, but we expect to see more of them in our newspapers, both in headlines and advertising, and less in per son. RESOURCES DISCUSSED An interesting angle of using na tural resources as a political foot ball is to be observed in a recent panel conference in Portland. Sev en Democrats, including six mem bers of Congress, conducted the panel, which featured Sen. Warren Magnuson, Washington Democrat, as the lead-off man among 30 "witnesses." Magnuson spoke of the need for forest roads and more emphasis on the use of forests for recrea tion. Maurine Neuberger, seeking the seat of her late husband in the U.S. Senate, said she would re introduce a bill first offered by Sen. Dick Neuberger to create a North west power corporation. But Sen. Frank Church of Idaho stated that the people of Idaho prefer power jurisdiction remain with the Bu reau of Reclamation. As for major campaign issues, reporters were told at a news con ference, that the big problem is international relations (Magnuson), Elmo Smith Urges Home Finance Plan pnnTi nn nui-P.Ui... Elmo Smith, candidate for the U. S. Senate, Thursday proposed a program that he said wou.d aid housing and Oregon's lumber in dustry. "My program would have gov ernment insurance through a cen tral banking facility to attract pen sion and trust funds into private housing.

PARKS OPPOSED Reading the Letters to the Edi tor columns in newspapers over the 4th District it is evident that :j tm tha Flni-anre area are putting on a determined drive to ' . :.. nnnntihnn In create senumeni. m uppa. the proposed Dunes National Sea shore Park. Originally proposed by the late Sen. Richard Neuberger, his widow, who hopes to succeed to his high office, has, as would be expected, announced her intentions to work for the project. "Oregon's economy wul suffer if we fail to seize this opportunity to Eut this unspoiled section of shore ne to its most beneficial use as a recreation attraction," Mrs. Neu berger said. , rn tha nmmri also has been promised by Rep. Charles roner. ...... DnnMnni, nt (ha area, definitely opposed to the national park pro gram, are vigorously urging i u c defeat of both, as they write in public forum columns of newspa pers of the district. TIGHT MONEY ASSAILED Mrs. Neuberger told a Lions club at Portland that tight money, by creating a severe shortage of mort gage credit, has produced a de cline in home-building. She assail ed FHA high interest rates which, she asserted, is causing increased costs to home buyers and builders, and is depressing the lumber mark et. Borrowing avenues to small business are closed because of tight money and high interest, Mrs. Neuberger said. She also issued a statement in which she charged her Republican oooonent Elmo Smith with having opposed civil rights legislation in the Oregon Legislature, but tak ing membership in the Urban League and NAACP as a means of getting votes, which she charged is "perhaps the sorriest chapter of that effort. NO SEX IN POLITICS At the same time, Elmo Smith the Republican candidate, was tell ing a Business and Professional Women's Club in Portland that "Politics has nothing to do with sex." The test of a candidate, he said, is qualification. He expressed the "greatest respect for my op ponent as a woman, but this does not deny the people of Oregon the ngnt to Know her stand on the is sues." Concerning the issues, he expres sed doubt that Mrs. Neuberger shares his strong feeling against appeasement of Soviet Russia. Smith said he had spoken publicly of his belief that the U.S. should risk nuclear war to defend West Berlin and Formosa. "My oppon ent said we snouid not take the risk," said Smith. "I don't see how anyone could watch the dem onstration of Khrushchev in New York and feel that we could afford any attitudes of apneasement." rip clared the Republican candidate. STRAUS HITC AT CMITU Itllt Whilp Smith tuac cnnolrinnr al Portland, Robert W. Straub, state uemocrauc cnairman, was contin uing what he calls a "count down" on Smith.

Durno reported he also helped in appropriation of funds for gifted children and for vocational train ing for adults. ISSUES DISCUSSED One who is doing more SDeakin for the party and party principles than for his own candidacy is Mun roe Sweetland, who is the Demo cratic nominee for secretary of state. Sweetland, a publisher at Milwaukie, has been covering many issues outside those of a local nature. He has. for examDle. i charged that tight money and high interest are working a hardship on Oregon's lumber industry result ing in "Oregon's income being be low national average." He proposes - fAlaxo! '"roeh ni-ftBrflm'1 nn all. mination of water pollution. Doc tors, he charges, are being solicit ed for money to fight the Forand bill, which he tavors. He told Reed College students and faculty members that teachers should take a greater part in public affairs at federal, state and local level. COSTS REDUCED His Republican opponent, Howell Appling, Jr., incumbent by ap pointment, sticking more closely to matters concerning the office, said that his budget being prepared for submission to the next Legislature will be at least $250,000 below the last budget. Despite increased costs and a heavier work load, he in dicated, "improved administra tive standards have made the re duction possible." Appling said that the reduction in costs proves that under profes sional administration government does not have to cost as much as it does in order to be both pro gressive and effective. The sav ings, he says, have been made "without impairing a single essen tial service." ROOSEVELTS IN OPPOSITION The Roosevelts are making Rose burg a Mecca this election year. The interesting part about Friday's visit by John A. Roosevelt and Oct. 22' visit of James Roose velt is that they are campaigning for opposing presidential candi dates. John was here last night to cam paign for Republican candidate Richard Nixon. The New Yorker is obviously the "maverick" of the historically Democratic Roosevelt clan, r . - . - t . James will be in Roseburg Sat urday, Oct. 22, to carry his cam paign for John F. Kennedy, whom he worked for in the primaries. He was particularly active in the West Virginia victory of Kennedy earner tnis year. LAST CHANCE Today is the deadline for regis tering to vote in the Nov. 8 elec tion. Based on past history, registrars all over the county will be doing a land office business until clos ing time. In Roseburg. registra tions in the Elections Bureau in the basement of the Douglas Coun ty Courthouse will stay open un til 8 p.m. Other registrars in the county have been given permis sion to do so if they wish. With the interesting contests go ing on and the active registration work being carried on by both parties, registrations promise to top any other year in county his tory. This means more than 30, 000 should be eligible to enter the polls in November. PROPOSITION NO. i f One of the most highly publicized measures on the ballot al the com ing election is Pronasition No. 6. Sponsors of the measure are fear ful it will be defeated because ton many voters will believe it will increase taxes they assert. Spon sors claim taxes will not be in creased. Taxpayers will not be required to pay out one penny more, it is claimed. The State System of Higher Edu cation now is permitted lo borrow up to three fourths of 1 per cent of the assessed valuation of all taxable property in the state for the purpose of erecting self-liqui dating buildings. The new proposal is that the words "assessed valu ation" be changed to "true cash value." Because true cash value is far more than assessed valuation, more than twice as much money could be borrowed for self-liquida ting buildings than at present, it is proposed to spend an additional S8 million each two-year period for the next ten years, to add needed facilities. ' Self - liauidat ing buildings ara such buildings as dormitories, stu dent houses, student centers, ath letic and health facilities, and oth er such buildings that pay their own cost from the revenue they receive. Revenue honds would be issued and would be retired from receipts. REVIVAL Oct 10-14 7:4 NEIGHBORHOOD . Foursquare Churcfe 1S2 Rifle Range Road Different speaker eoch night Special Music C3 Otga) oft
