theusnJi Si houtmJt Strike By Air, 5ta MmnulK 'V In The i' Day's " News . frcnk Jenkins Question: " What to do with the captured hijackers who failed at 1 Paso in their attempt to take another big American plane to Castro? ' There is plenty of precedent. Thev are oirates. Not pirates on the high seas, to be sure, but pirates of the nigh air wnere ply the ships of this modern age. When, in the old days, pirates were captured, they were hanged from the yardarm of the capturing ship. How about hanging these two along with all the others we can catch in the act from tne wing tip of a Boeing 707 which is the nearest approximation of the yardarm of an ancient sailing ves- eel? There is. of course, another way. A thousand years ago Danish pirates had an annoying habit oi attacking the coast of England, where they killed and plundered without mercy. English rulers of that day imposed a tax on the people called Danegcld (meaning Dane money). The money received from the tax was used as a bribe to buy off the attackers. Castro would love that. That brings up a humiliating though: Are we doing the same thing with a lot of our foreign aid? Are we saying to a lot of people all over the world: If you'll BE OUR FRIENDS, we'll pay you a lot of money? Getting back to hijacking The word derives from HIGH WAY. indicating a crime commit ted on a highway. We now have highways of the air. -And ! As we are made humiliatingly aware in the past few weeks, we have aerial HIGHWAYMEN who waylay our stagecoaches of the air. ; That recalls a story related to me many years ago by A. C. Mar liters, one of the early residents of our State of Jefferson in his later years a banker, business man and prominent and useful citizen of Roseburg. ;Ai told by Mr. Marsters, a stage coach was proceeding northward on the old stage road that followed roughly the route that is now High Way 99. At Stagecoach Pass, some fit) miles south of Roseburg, two highwaymen suddenly stepped from behind a big rock at the edge of the road, covered the driver with their guns and ordered him to stop which, since they had the drop on turn, he did. i The highwaymen ordered the passengers to get out, and lined them up along the roadside. First, they took the money box from under the driver's feet. Then, while one highwayman held a gun on the passengers, the other went down Uia line, relieving the pas sengers of their valuables and drop ping them into a sack. But They had missed a trick. On the top of the stagecoach there was a Wells-Fargo guard. He was armed with a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with buck shot. The hold-up caught him un prepared for action, so he dropped flat on the roof of the stage, grip ping his shotgun, peeping with a cautious eye through the low rail ing at the edge of the root and waiting for his opportunity. H came when the highwaymen stepped out of line with the row of passengers. They were only half a dozen steps from him, and he blew off the heads of both of them. Those were matter-of-fact davs. The driver and the guard retrieved the sack, distributed the valuables to their rightful owners, rolled the bodies of the dead highwaymen over the edge of the bank, and re sumcd their Journey. That was a hijacking operation mat ended in disaster for the hijackers. EDITORIAL PAGE 4 Th News-Raviaw, Roseburf Ore. Mon., Aug. 7, 1961 FINDING THE TRUTH By Charles V. Srjnron Some verv interestinir comparison are possible as we examine statements cominsr from various sources. For example, James Marlow, Associated Press news analyst, said in his column in this newspaper recently that Russia actually isn't a communist country. Instead of com munism, he said. Russia practices socialism. The United States, reportedly, is a form of democracy inside a representative republic. Its economy is based on capitalism. But ! Under socialism, Marlow explained, people are divided into classes, and the respective classes are paid in accord ance with their ability and production. Russia, said the analyst, has three distinct classes, the intelligentsia, peas ants and workers. Capitalism, which reputedly controls economy in the United States, pays a worker in proportion to the rate of his production. It depends upon a profit for management. Without profit there can't be capitalism. Communism, says Marlow, is a state of classless so ciety where people get paid not in accordance with their work, ability and merit but according to their needs. Interesting Demands ' We get a great deal of correspondence from various sources at the editorial desk. Currently the mails are carryiag material let's call it educational from several labor unions. One of the demands being made upon management is that the hourly wage earner shan't be paid according to what he produces or is able to produce but shall be given a salary, the same as an executive. Demands from organized labor are for fewer hours (less production) at more pay. Profits are made to appear evil. In comparing things we can't help but ask ourselves, who is nearer communism, Russia or the United States? We frown upon dictatorship. We strive for a democrat ic form or government. Yet, not long ago. we were treated to the spectacle of a labor leader who admitted a long string of arrests for alleged law violations, vet boasted that soon he would be in control of our government. And, because of human self ishness and greed, I'm not above believing that he possi bly can make good his boasts! If we adopt a practice of paying according to need (or desire) , because of ability to extort payment by force, elim inating profits, putting control into the hands of groups seeking special privilege, is that socialism, or is it com munism? And, no matter what it is, do we want it? Intolerance Dangerous In our current labor troubles there are many factors that are disturbing. One is psychological. Perhaps it isn't too significant. Again, it could be. But any piece of literature emanating from headquar ters of union labor seems to nut all employers in one class. They're worse than no good. The Russians killed people of wealth, landlords, bour geois, simply because they were "haves." The "have nots" seized power. Red China slaughtered the landlords. They were able to do this because they had created a hatred for a group or class. Are we heading in that direc tion In this country? Much of the "education" we're receiving needs some questioning, I believe. For example a great deal of the material received by newspapers calls attention to the fact that high executives or our big corporations are being paid fabulous sums sal aries of $150,000, $250,000, or even more per year. Let's ask ourselves how much of that is "take-home" pay. An executive heading a concern worth several bil lions of dollars is entitled to a trood salarv. Rut how can he get a "good salary" under today's tax laws, which con fiscate yo per cent after you get in the upper brackets? uo me unions pay less 7 We read about fabulous ex pense accounts to union heads. We Tead how union funds, on which no taxes are paid, have been "borrowed." But, turning things around, we hear management wail ing that it will be driven into bankruptcy if it is forced to assume more costs. Yet we know that, in many cases, at least, it isn't giving workers a fair split on the profits nuin pruuucuuii. It seems to me that we should be giving some miehtv serious thought to what is said these days, trying to separ age truth from propaganda. Land-ltself Jet Craft Unveiled In London LONDON (AP)-A Jet airliner that can land Itself was unveiled here Friday by the D llavilland Aircraft Co. The plane, known as the Tri dent, has its three engines mount ed at the tail.

DEAR ABB Y Abigail Van Buren si& He's Like Off Beat! DEAR ABBY: I am in love with a man my parents hate. I'll call him Joe. My father checked up on him, and now he won't let me go with him. Joe is a musician. He plays the drums. My father says a drummer- ia no musician; that a person who plays the piano or violin can call himself a musician but a drum is no instrument. Is this true? Also, my father found out that Joe is 28. He lied to me and baid he was 24. 1 lied to my parents and said he was 20. (I am 17.) I want to know: No. 1 If you could rail a drummer a musician? And. No. 2 if you think, as long as he is a gentleman, my parents should let me go with him? JOE'S GIRL DEAR GIRL: No. 1: A drummer IS a musician. But what's all this azs about his lying about his age? That is another kettle of drumsl Tell your drummer bey to lay it straight, or beat itl DEAR ABBY: What do you do with a boy who says the only rea son he wants to kiss you on the lips is to taste your lipstick? MADELINE DEAR MADELINE: Turn yeur cheek to him, and tell him not to do you any flavors. DEAR ABBY: A neighbor, who is impossible to talk to, throws bread in his yard every day to feed the pigeons. The pigeons fly back and forth from his roof to mine all day long. They have nests in my chimney. I don't have to tell you what a couple of hundred pigeons can do. It is impossible for me to hang out my washing. And to en joy sitting outside is out of the question. Every day more join the flock. Do you or any of your read ers know any way to get rid of pigeons? Or do they do some good that 1 don t know about? PIGEON HATER DEAR PIGEON HATER: The most constructive function ever credited to pigeons was carrying messages, and Alexander Graham Bell put them out of that business years ago. But pigeons can still carry diseases. If your neighbor is "impossible" to talk to talk to the Board of Health, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Everybody has a problem.

Hal Boyle Illnesses Of Heart, Head Cause World's Miseries NEW YORK (AP)-Thin a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: Do you feel more worthwhile? You should. The chemicals in your noay used to be worth 87 cents, now they're worth about 98 cents. Today's college man is no Beau Brummell. He has an average of only 2.9 suits. Now is the time to be careful. Accidents hit a peak in the sum mer months, are lowest in the months of January, February and March. Worth repeating: Half the world's miseries are caused by hardness of heart the other half by softness of head. Odd Items about famous folk: Singer Polly Bergen modeled bathing suits as a teen-ager, didn't learn to swim until last summer. Sigmund i Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, smoked 20 cigars a day. Thomas Jeffer son, who drafted the U.S. Declar ation of Independence, studied up to 15 hours daily as a college student. One reason doctor's bills are getting higher: It now takes $67,- 000 to train a specialist. Many soldiers would be sur prised to know tha rocket gun isn't new to military science. The Chinese invented it some 3,000 years ago. Lone-winded: The oldest presi dent at the start of his term in office, William Henry Harrison (68 years, 23 days), delivered the longest inaugural address more than 8,000 words. Wearing neither hat nor great coat he rode on horseback through a storm to the ceremony, caught a cold and died month later. Pride led him to his .tornb. While we're on this subject, we might as well admit Harrison (a Winchester Family? Visits Yellowstone By MRS.

News in its nose: A bloodhound doesn't trail just footprints. It follows the entire body scent of a lost or fugitive person, and can in damp weather smell him half a mile away, or follow him 10 days later along his path. The growth of an industry: The number of aircraft produced in America increased from a known 45 in 1912 to an estimated 10,881 in 1960. But wartime 1945 was the fabulous year: The U.S. built 95, 272 military planes, contrasting with 1909 when it produced one. Wisecrack of the week: Divorc es are getting so friendly, says Tom Jones, that alimony should be called "palimony." Harriet Beecher Stowe helped influence the course of a nation with "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Her first literary effort at the age of 12 was an essay titled "Can the Immortality of the Soul be Proved by the Light of Reason?" For some reason it never became a best seller. Coals to Newcastle: The Irish are rich in lions. Some 550 lion cubs have been born in the Dublin Zoo during its 127-year history... Many have been exported all over the world, including of all places Africa. We all start small. The whale and the mouse begin from an egg of approximately the same size. It was Anatole France who ob served, "We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we want another which will be eternal." Longshoreman Awarded Damages For Injuries TACOMA (AP) A federal dis trict court jury here has award ed S94.O00 damages to James Gerk- ing, a Rainier, Ore., longshoreman who had asked $175,000 for injur ies he suffered in a ship loading ac cident at Longview on March 23, 1960. Still to be determined is whether Furness, Withy & Co., England, owners of the ship, the Pacific En voy, or Gerking s Employer, Port land Stevedoring Co., is liable for the damages. Judge George H. Boldt said the issue of liability will be heard at a later date. Gerking's suit was against the steamship company, which contends that if there was any liability, it was on the part of the stevedoring firm. Gerking was struck in the leg by a slingload of pulp bales. Elagrose People Attend Picnic At Eugene Park Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Johnson i n. Anri Mrc C.

(AP) A make believe hold-up man at a children's wild west amusement park threw himself into the act a little too hard. When "bad man" Lee Hepner, 21, was "shot" by the sheriff, he fell to the ground and struck his head. Four stitches closed the wound. WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Kennedy's biggest tests in dealing with Congress come in the next few weeks. So far he has relied heavily on President Eisenhower's method of avoiding temper tantrums on ei ther side. He has done pretty well. But his programs which Con gress approved have been fairly conservative and, in the main, noncontroversial. The real tough ones foreign aid, federal aid to education and medical care for the aged are in serious trouble. The medical care bill is in such distress it looks dead for 11. Kennedy has given the impres sion of more determined follow through than Eisenhower, al though whether this is true will be shown in the way he handles himself with Congress from now on. Eisenhower from the beginning acted as though his White House leadership job were to keep down conflict, not only abroad but at home. This may be considered in the end his greatest contribution. When he took over the country was split by McCarthyism and ail that implied: harshness and sus picion. Eisenhower sweated it out, stayed calm, kept hands oft, and in the end Sen. McCarthy de stroyed himself politically. But this businens of staying above the strife in dealing with Congress when important legis lation runs into serious opposition could be and was at times fatal. Kennedy has worked hard in two directions to get Congress to go along with him: I 1. Through his staff members who maintain constant and per sonal contact with the senators j and representatives. I 2. Through his own direct con-! tacts with them White House conferences. White House break- j fasts, telephone calls. j Always, however, he has avoid-1 ed even minor personal unpleas antries with members of Con-, gress, at least in public. He has obtained approval for one piece of legislation after an other although, as mentioned, al most none of it was of the kind to bring on filibusters or frenzies. ' In fact, the one piece of legisla tion which might have induced a filibuster civil rights he very carefully never sent to Congress at alt, even though he had prom-' ised in the I960 campaign to make this one of his earliest efforts with Congress in 1961. 1 The medical care program after various assaults from with in and without Congress, par ticularly from the American Med ical Association seems to have disappeared for this year in a congressional pigeonhole marked: "Rest in peace." Kennedy can't claim he ex hausted himself fighting for this one. On the other hand, he re portedly has decided to make a last ditch stand for his foreign aid bill. His recent TV talk on trouble with communism over Berlin in which he stressed danger and asked for steppedup defense may have helped make passage of the foreign aid bill easier. He has appeared far from ag gressive in defense of his aid to education bill whose prospects for passage don't look bright.
