Why is that important?
Well, it indicates that Americans
aren't losing their native ingen
uity. Incidentally. Americans are
GAINING CONFIDENCE in their
country.
In February of 1960, a year and
a quarter ago,, a Gallup poll on
"who's ahead in the missile race"
indicatod that 33 per cent of those
interviewed thought the U.S. was
ahead and 47 per cent thought
Russia was ahead.
As of today, according to a Gal
lup poll just completed, 54 per
eeni of our .people think the U.S.
is ahead and only 20 per cent think
Russia ia ahead.
That could, of course, mean
we're misrepresenting the (acts
"and getting too cocky. But, if we
lose confidence in ourselves, we'll
be goners.
President Kennedy gets some ad
vice today about his sore back
and what to do for it. The advice
' comes from 83-voar-old Bob Jloff-
,man. a veteran U.S. Olympic
weight lifting coach and muscle
building expert.
He aays: "It isn't right to have
a young President hobbling around
on crutches," and adds: "I know
a lot about bad hacks and how they
can be cured. The best treatment
is to hang from a horizontal bar
and kick like a frog. The most ef
fective way is to hang from your
feet, but most men aren't acro
batic enough. The next best way is
to hang from a chinning bar by
your hands. Pull your legs up 20
times like a frog. Then hang down
quietly for about a minute."
Pretty rough?
Well, the interesting part of It Is
that Hoffman is confident that JFK
has the stamina to tackle any kind
of program that seems to promise
good results.
Hoffman has been in Japan for
some time, and is now preparing
to start home. He will bring with
lum a half ton of Japanese sea
weed, cuttlefish sticks and dried
fish powder for use in his health
fond business.
He says: "The minerals found in
such simple foods apparently give
the Japanese their stamina to work
long hours and compete in sports,
despite their diet shortage in pro
teins and calories."

the Japanese, but we mustn't for

tackled the prodigious job of win

well on beans, bacon, fried chirk

UNFORTUNATE HASSLE
By Charles V. Stanton
It is indeed unfortunate that a controversy has arisen
over lack of a decision connected with the reported theft
of money handled through Roseburg's city police depart
ment. The frrand jury, to which findings were submitted, lias
made no report. It has conducted investigations but has
given the public no information, other than that contained
in a statement by the District Attorney.
The statement indicates that all evidence is of a nebu
lous nature; that evidence is insufficient to justify an in
dictment. It is a most serious matter when a policeman, a per
son employed in law enforcement, will commit a crime.
City officials believe a crime has been committed. They
claim an audit reveals that an undetermined amount of
money, taken from parking meters and passing through
the police department before it got to the city treasurer,
was stolen.
To avoid any charges of whitewash or improper investi
gation, the City of Roseburg, through the City Manager,
called in an examiner from a neighboring city and also re
quested a thorough investigation by the State Police. The
investigation was made and a report submitted to the
District Attorney.
Probe Criticized
The District Attorney's statement appeared to be criti
cal of the methods used in the investigation. His state
ment would indicate some pique because his office was by
passed. He charged that certain evidence had been "dis
sipated." The District Attorney's remarks indicating that he
could better-have advised on the matter of evidence nec
essary to the return of an indictment apparently has
aroused the ire of both the State Police and the City Man
ager. The City Manager, in discussing the matter, said that
in calling in the Stale Police it was his opinion that the
City of Roseburg was seeking the most thorough and un
biased investigation. He denies that any evidence was per
mitted to be "dissipated."
This case is too important lo the whole public to per
mit personalities to enter.
The finding? of the Stale Police have not been made
public. Perhaps they cannot be made public.
It is the statement of the District Attorney that the
evidence secured by the Slate Police is insufficient to justi
fy an indictment against any individual.
It is the duty of the Grand Jury to determine whether
sufficient evidence' exists in connection with any alleged
violation of law to justify a trial.
In a good many cases there may be evidence to cause
belief that a crime has been committed, yet there isn't
enough proof to indicate that a jury trial would be worth
its cost. Nor would it be proper to charge a person with
a crime in the absence of positive proof of guilt.
Information Secret
Because publicity concerning inconclusive evidence
would be an injustice to anyone who might be under sus
picion, but against whom positive proof was lacking, pro
ceedings of the Grand Jury are held in the utmost secre
cy. Only when the Grand, Jury returns an indictment,
charging a person with a crime, is there a public revela
tion of the charges. It is required by our laws that the
indictment must specify the crime committed, the salient
facts surrounding the perpetration of the alleged crime,
and Identify the persons appearing before the Grand Jury
for examination.
The Grand Jury, according to the District Attorney, has
considered the reported theft at three sessions but has fail
ed to take action. The District Attorney's statement
would make it appear that one reason for failure to solve
the case was that he wasn't called in on the investigation.
The City Manager's position, on the other hpnd, is that the
ability of the State Police as an investigative body is recognized.
City officials, when the shortage of money was dis
covered, made the statement that they wanted a com
plete and impartial investigation conducted by a neutral
agency. The city, it was staled, shouldn't seek to investi
gate any reported defalcation by one of its own agencies.
If the city failed 1o achieve a full investigation, the pub
lic, it would seem to me, is entitled to a more explicit and
detailed statement from the District Attorney. At the
same time, personal pique, if it exists, should not be per
muted to inlluence any decision.

DEAR ABBY: After twelve years

conclusion that I don't love my hus

didn't realize this until I met Mr.
R. lie ii the man 1 wish 1 were
married to. 1 would not be foolish
enough to break up my home be
cause I love my children, and they
need me. Mr. ft. also has a family
and he feels the same way about
his family. Our situations are sim
ilar in that he doesn't exactly hate
his wife. He just doesn't love her.
Mr. R. and I haven't done any
thing to be ashamed of. We've met
a few times and told each other
our troubles. He says there is no
harm in being "silent sweethearts"
as long as we are discreet. 1 am
tempted. Should 1?
