COUNTING
By Charles
The use of machines to speed the counting of ballots at
election time has been a theme in this column for a number
of veai'S, ever since we heard
cently publisher of the Port Umpqua Courier, Reedsport,
offer the suggestion a long time ago at a meeting of editors
in Eugene.
Bill got nowhere with his
heads against a wail for goodness- knows how long.. Sud
rlenly, however, the suggestion
from other newspapers. Perhaps, if enough demand is
made, we 11 eventually get

Use of voting machines
mah County. Rather than
lion dollars in voting machines, "with the accompanying
problems of storing and transportation, use of an elec
tronic tallying system is urged.
The editorial writer points out:
In Lo Angela County, where three million voters will use
paper ballet because standard voting machines cannot eccem
medate the scores ef candidate and Issues in the huge district,
county officials have subsidized tests ef an electronic vote-tallying
machine built by the Norden Division of the -United Aircraft
Corporation. This remarkable device "reads" paper ballets at
the rate of 10 per second, generates precinct totals en candidate
and Issues, and printa and punches the results en IBM cards.
The machine, it is reported, also can perform many
other operations.
Cost Too High

altogether too much time. He, too, favors the use or a ma

The editorial writer pointed out in The Oregonian that
a recoil1-', of 656 election precincts in Portland, in connec
tion wi'-h the election on the E-R center, revealed counting
errors in 6.12 of those precincts.
A machine count of election ballots would eliminate er
rors, would bring modern automation to an obsolete, horse-
and-buggy, inefficient system. A machine would kick out
any defective ballots for immediate check by a canvassing
board. The tally could be made official within a few hours
from the time polls closed.
Experimentation Needed
Our slate laws at this time designate the method for
conducting an election. Every step is detailed and all
duties are assigned by legislative act.
What we need is authority from the legislature to per
mit the secretary of state, through the clerk of elections,
to conduct experiments.
Experiments could be made in some of the smaller
counties counties where not too many people would be
concerned and where accuracy and sanctity of the ballot
could be preserved while checking out a new counting de
vice. Considering the tremendous market, I believe the sec
retary of stale would receive help and cooperation from
manufacturers of business machines. It shouldn't be diffi
cult to convert an existing type of business machine for
the counting of ballots.
The legislature, by resolution, could authorize the sec
retary of state to conduct experiments, to woi'k in coopera
tion with manufacturers of business machines to devise
machines and methods and to report back when a satis
factory system had been obtained. Counties could be em
powered to buy machines and introduce the modern count
ing method if they so desired. The expense then would be
borne by the respective counties.
I question that, the cost could be paid in one vear, as
Allen feels is possible. But even if it took 10 to 20 years
to pay the cost or, even if slightly mote expense was in
volved than at present, the speed and accuracy would be of
tremendous value.

Something Oughta Be Done
About U. S. Fat Surplus
NEW YORK (AP)-II is time
the federal government did some
thing to help Uie fat man.
As it is now, nobody does much
for the fat man except jeer him.
"Hi. Tubby." they sav, poking
him in the stomach. "Aren't you
putting on a little weight?"
Yet fat people are vital to the
American economy. Since we have
some 25 to 30 million overweixht
people, they outnumber farmers
or manufacturers by a large mar
gin. Congress regularly rushes to the
vescue of the farmer with crop
benefit payments and to the aid
of the manufacturer with protec
tive tariffs.
But the only govenment help
fat people get is a periodic warn
ing from the U.S. Public Health
Service that if they don't lose
weight they probably won't live as
long.
This is not enough. If fat people
are a great natural resource ami
they arel they should be treated
an such. The government shoulBj
encourage inem to reduce uy ni
fering them solid inducements,
just at it helps the farmer and
the manufacturer and the oil well
owners.

Actually, it Isn't. Unlike the

y FRANK
Wayne D. Crkldie, Utah state
engineer, telle the National Agricul
tural Credit Conference in Denver
that if we can rocket a man to
the moon we can bring the Missis
sippi and the Columbia rivers to
the arid parts of the West.
He add:
"Nature deliver enough water.
The trouble is that the distribution
of it ian't equal and uniform. Our
problem is not that there isn't
enough, but that we do not THINK
we have the funds to develop it
where it ia needed."
That's in the distant future.
Let's take a look now at the
present and the near future.
Dr. G. B. Wood, head of the
department of agricultural econ
omic! at Oregon State College,
tells the Ninth Annual National
Agricultural Conference, which is
also meeting in Denver:
"The bulk of the food and fiber
consumed in this country by the
end of the 1960's will come from
fewer than half a million farms.
As of now, 56 per cent of our
farms produce only NINE PER
CENT of our farm product!.
He added:
"Due to the changing nature of
agriculture and the REVOLUTION
ARY FORCES at work, thia coun
try loses a farm about every
FIVE MINUTES."
What are these revolutionary
forces that are decreasing the num
ber of American farms at the rate
of about one every five minutes?
The MACHINE is one of them.
In this day and age, it takes rela
tively as much machinery to run
a small farm as a big one. The
volume produced by the small
farm isn't equal to the task of
buying the machinery necessary to
produce economically. So the small
farms are being merged into big
ger ones.
But that isn't the point of this
piece. What we're interested in to
day is FIBER.
What is FIBER?
In the past, we have thought of
fiber chiefly in terms of cotton.

Coexistence Isn't Issue
In Peiping-Moscow Fight
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-It is
now possible to reach a tentative
conclusion about the real nature
of the much talked of split be
tween Peiping and Moscow over
the question of peaceful coexist
ence. In a word, coexistence is not
the central issue. The real argu
mentnever admitted seems to
be over Red China's determina
tion to take Formosa.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
been proclaiming that the great
Imperialist war with the West pre
dicted by Lenin is not inevitable.
The Communist world is now
strong enough to deter Wostern
imnerialists from waaina such a
war, and has more to gain through
peaceful coexistence - permitting
economic and political penetra
tionthan it would through a nu
clear war where it ton would be

gued. Chairman Mao Tse-tung of Red
China has replied that Lenin was
right and that anyone who says
differently is guilty of being soft
on Western imperialism. Behind

wool, eilk, etc.
But
In the realm of fiber, something
new has been added.
The newcomer is WOOD fiber.
It is a versatile product. Many
synthetic textiles originate from
wood fiber. Paper is made from
it. The latest thing in that field ia
STRETCHABLE paper. They're
now using it for bags and packing
materials.
Industry is flirting with the idea
of making disposable shirts for
men and disposable dresses lor
women of stretchable paper. No
wash. No iron. Not even drip dry.
Wear 'em and BURN 'em.
Here in our State of Jefferson,
we produce no cotton, relatively
little wool and NO silk (rayon
made from wood fiber substitues,
from our standpoint, for silk.)
But
We have IMMENSE supplies of
wood fiber. Wood fiber comes from
trees-and trees are a CROP. We
can go on growing them forever.
That brines us back to water.
When the times comes (as it
must) when we are utilizing fully
our wood fiber supply, we are go
ing to need IMMENSE quantities
of water to process it. So, if we
are wise, we must see to it now
that TOO MUCH of our "surplus"
water isn't taken away from us for
use somewhere else.
Surplus water what is it?
If bv surplus we mean ALL THE
WATER ABOVE WHAT WE ARE
USING NOW, it can be made to
appear that we of southern ore
eon and Far Northern California
have a lot of water to GIVE
AWAY. But if we take into con
sideration the water we are going
to need when we begin to utilize
fully the fiber in our trees, our sur
plus may be very small. We may
not even have a surplus to give
away.
Conclusion:
We must begin NOW to take into
consideration our water needs in
the future. If we don't, we might
be badly crippled.
With 650 million people Red
China is best suited of all the
powers to survive a global nu
clear holocaust. She could lose al
most half her people and still be
the most populous nation on earth
and the strongest on an earth
where all modern industrial na
tions lay in radiation-poisoned ru
ins. But neither Moscow nor Peip
ing acknowledges that these deep
ly antagonistic attitudes amount
to a disagreement, -
Since 1957, when the first signs
of a split appeared, the world has
wondered what it really meant.
The answer seems to be that co
existence certainly is involved, but
that the big, underlying issue is
Formosa.
Peiping claims Formosa as a
province of China and Moscow
fully supports this claim.
But the tipoff comes from Felix
Greene, a British businessman
who lives in Palo Alio, Calif., and
who recently returned from 4V
months in Red China. - '
Greene reports he found the
Red Chinese including Premier
Chou En-lai absolutely inflexible
on the question of Formosa.
Greene recorded for television a
30-mintite interview with Chou.
The Englishman, a journalist as
well as a businessman, said this
was a part of a much more hard-
boiled attitude in Peiping than he
had found on his first visit three
years ago.
He told a radio panel that the
Chinese Reds will insist upon
settling the Formosa question on
their terms before even consider
ing taking the Chinese seat in the
United Nations. They are aware
that a U.N. trusteeship for For
mosa has been discussed,, and
they want no part of it.
Green asserts the Red Chinese
won't talk on anything else with
the United States until American
forces withdraw from Formosa
leaving it open to conquest.
Here is where coexistence en
ters the picture. Moscow is obli
gated by the Sino-Soviet Treaty
of 1950 to come to Red China's
aid in the event of "hostilities
from the direction of Japan."
meaning America. The United
States hi committed to the defense
of Formosa through its treaty with
Nationalist China.
Coexistence with the West would
go out the window if Peiping at
tacked Formosa. In all probabil
ity World War III would be on.
If Greene is right, there Is little
chance for an American "Two
China Policy" as suggested by
Chester A. Bowles, a foreign pof.

ONI PARTY PRESS ,
Eugene Register-Guard
Every election people, usually
Democrats, scream about the "one
party press." It may help tome of
them get votes. But it u a false
cry. This election, true enough,
most newspaper supported Mr.
Nixon, who lost. Otherwise, how
ever, their support was split up.
We made a spot check of Oregon
newspapers in the weeks before
election and found them divided,
indeed.
Here in the Fourth Congressional
District, papers in , Medford and
Coos Bay supported Charles O. Por
ter, while papers in Albany, Eu
gene, Roseburg and Ashland op
posed him. The Grants Pass Cour
ier, generally, did not make rec
ommendations on candidates.
Maurine Neuberger, the Demo
drat who won, was supported by
the Oregon Statesman in Salem,
and by papers in Medford, Pen
dleton, Astoria, Bend and Coos Bay
and by the Portland Reporter. Her
opponent Elmo Smith received sup
port from the Oregonian and Jour
nal in papers in Roseburg, Cor
vallis, and Eugene.
On the measures, support was
divided many ways. On the pro
posal for legislative revision of the
constitution, which carried, the
Oregon Journal, Portland Reporter,
Salem Capital journal, and papers
in Roseburg, Albany, Coos Bay
and Medford argued for passage.
Opposing it were papers in Eu
gene, Pendleton, Corvallis, Bend,

in Salem.
The defeated measure which
would have effectively dispensed
with the grand jury system was
supported by both Salem dailies,

and papers in Albany, Bend, Rose-
Durg ana renaieion. opposing it
were the Oregon Journal and pa
pers in Eugene, Baker. Medford,

Those who prate about the "one

COPE organization. COPE, how
ever, was lined up with papers in
Eugene, Coos Bay, Medford. Rose
burg, Astoria. Klamath Fails. Al
bany and Portland in Its support
of the veteran's loan measure. In
its ooposition to the billboard con
trol law, COPE found allies in the
dailies in Albany, Roseburg and

CONGRESS IS LOCAL JOB
Coo Bay World
Congressman Charles O. Porter's
defeat in (his district at the hands
of Dr. Edwin Durno of Medford
illustrates once again that the posi
tion of U.S. representatives is a lo
cal one. even thoueh congressmen
work in the heady atmosphere of
Washington and In the exciting,
worldly air of the U.S. Capitol.
Voters do not mind, in fact ex
pect, U.S. senators to be involved
in national affairs, to be active in
international affairs, and even to
be world figures. But members of
tne House tney expect to worry
about the price of corn and hogs
if they are elected from Iowa,
let's say or the price of plywood
if they are elected from the
Fourth District of Oregon.
There is scarcely a U.S. senator
who cannot serve as a spokesman
on international problems. It is ex
pected by the country. But you
cannot name a congressman with
whom this is true. How many read
ers can name the. chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee?
As a matter of fact, there are
newspapermen in Washington who
cannot, name that gentleman.
Voters do not wish their con
gressmen, for that matter, to be
very active in national affairs or
to take the "national" view. With
the exception of Congressman Sam
Rayburn of Texas, who is speaker.
Congressman John McCormack,
who is majority leader, or Con
gressman Charles Halleck, who is
minority leader, there are few, or
no, congressmen who dare take a
"national" stand with comments
for publication varying from the
view of their constituency.
The role of a congressman is lo
cal. This may be a bad thing. But
it is true. And it has been made
so by congressmen themselves, all
of whom were elected in whole or
in part with promises not to forget
the price of corn or plywood.
Congressman Porter did not for
get the price of plywood. But he
said, when he was elected the first
time in 1956, that he'd devote ap
proximately a third of his time to
international problems and he de
termined to live up to that promise.
The murder of Gerry Murphy on
Dominican Dictator Trujillo'a or
ders gave him an entrance into
Latin American affairs which work
ed well for his political good when
he was re elected in 1958. hut
which had turned sour on him by
I960.
His concern with international af
fairs brought many trip abroad
and over a period of four years
gave the Impression to home folks
that he was "flitting around" a
good deal. This was an incorrect
impression, but the voters en
masse receive impressions slowly.
Once the impression is locked into
their political subconscious, it is
locked there for good.
Consequently when Porter came
up for reelection this year he
turned out to he vulnerable to a
well-financed (S33.OO0 minimum)
campaign against his weak points
by a candidate. Dr. Durno. whose
conservative beliefs in no way con
form to the hopes and desires of
those who elected him, and whose
own party (Republican) is in a
considerable minority in the Fourth
District. His .victory over Porter
was narrow in terms of votes. But
it was gigantic in terms of parly
registration.
Porter from the day he began
campaigning in September ( Durno
had been campaigning since April)
was off slnde. Durno's well-planned
advertising campaign ("Why does
Porter encourage Castro?") and
similar twists of fact drove him to
infuriated diatrnse instead of at
tack. Of course, attack is difficult
when financing is slender in a po
litical campaign, and Porter did
attempt, to talk about plywood and
social Jioblems close to thus dis
trict's heart, hut it never got

THINKING FOR OURSELVES
Western World, Banden
The average American, perplex
ed by the numerous imnortant in
ternational and domestic issues
that confront the people of our
great nation, findr it difficult to
develop sound opinions in the face
of the rabid partisanship that is
exhibited by ambitious peliticians,
newspaper columnists, radio and
TV commentators, and other so
called leaders of public opinion.
There is a tendency on the part
of many to accept, without ques
tion, any statement or assertion
that fits in with what the individual
wants to believe. Moreover, there
is a lamentable determination on
the part of nearly everybody to try
to persuade everybody else to fall
in line with whatever is being ad
vocated by the individual.
Post-election observations mav
stimulate the thought that it might
be a good idea for us, once in a
while, to pay tribute to the stub
born independence of the hardy
citizen who has the nerve to look
the population in the face and say,
despite flurry, "f don't agree."
In fact, it might be even better,
when you run across somebody
who disagrees with you, for you
to give your own views a mental
check-up, intelligently assessing
your own opinions on the basis of
what you know, and what you do
not know, to be the truth. This
does not mean accepting the opin
ions of others as undeniable fact.
It means using your own intelli
gence and experience to balance
your own thoughts and aclions.
Someone may ask. what hap
pens in the case of the individual
who hasn't the facts or the experi
ence on which to base an intelli
gent decision. The answer is sim
ply to make inquiry, study the
situation from all angles and don't
rush your determination and act
without due process. In other
words, try thinking things out for
yourself before making a decision.
NEW GIMMICK
Portland Reporter
We hear of a new gimmick that
has crept into the lore of soil con

sist of a mixture of grass seed,
fertilizer and wood pulp, with wa

by means of an air blast.
The wood pulp dries quickly,
forms a protective coating over the
ground, under which grass will
sprout and form that vegetative
cover which is so important to
erosion control.
Slurry may have an important

Auto Output Takes
November Decline
WASHINGTON (AP) Indus,
trial production held steady in Oc
tober with gains and losses off
setting each other. But the im
portant steel and auto industries
turned downward in November.
Reporting this today, the Feder
al Reserve Board said its index
of industrial output for October
stood at 107 per cent of the 1957
average the same as in Septem
ber. This meant that October pro- .
duction of mines, factories and
utilities was 7 per- cent higher
than in 1957.
Compared with the first half of '
1960, the board said, . output was
3 per cent lower in October.
While noting a number of off
setting cross-currents in October,
the board said "current schedules
indicate a decline in auto assem
blies in November."
And, it added, steel production
showed little change in October
and new construction activity de
clined slightly while retail sales
increased. Total employment- de-;
clined and unemployment rose. .
Commercial bank credit increased
and the money supply rose slightly.
