THE LIGHTER SIDE: Where Does One Begin and the Other End? West Gets Real Cclit At " Merida 4 The Newi-Review, Roseburg, ". While the Roseburg City Council wres tles with its current budget, improved city streets and new park areas; while School District s concerns itself with a giant building program and while the Or egon legislature struggles with a complex Variety of subjects ranging from increas ing taxes to changing the state flower, a matter of overwhelming proportions is under consideration in Washington.

Taxpayer has been ex posed to governmental spending and 'giveaway" of such fantastic amounts for "such a long period of time now that he lis unimpressed by "millions" and "bil nions" and has accepted the philosophy ;that someone else is footing the bill and how much money the federal government -takes to operate really doesn't matter. Testimony at congressional hearings ;now in progress coupled with the find ings of the Clay Committee on foreign aid and the Citizens Foreign Aid Committee, however, point up vividly that the United States is rapidly spending and giving it ;self into an untenable position in interna-. tional finance. . y I The Clay Committee report states: "'While we are concerned with the total ;cost of aid, we are concerned even more j with whether its volume is justified, and 'whether we and the countries receiving tit are getting our money's worth." The "commission recommended a cut of $500 ; million in current aid spending. The Pres ident has indicated he would settle for $4.1 million for next year but some con : gressmen think the figure should be cut ; to $2.5 million and even more in succeed ing years.

Foreign Aid Revamp Needed munism and Klu-ushchcv's peace ful coexistence policy have con tinued to worsen. 1 ' It Is only a few weeks ago that Red China was disclosed to have called for the ouster of the present Kremlin loaders, presumably in cluding Khrushchev. Since then Peking has fostered the idea that Khrushchev's days in power are numbered. v .. Concerned By Pressures Without necessarily accepting that' Peking will succeed - in its drive to get new leadership in the Kremlin, Western diplomatic re ports do say that Khrushchev is more fully preoccupied and more deeply concerned by the pressures from Peking than is conceded by Moscow. It is for this reason cre dence is given to the possibility he may want to free himself of some of his burdens of state, to give more attention to the dispute with Mao Tze-tung without abandoning his major powers aT home. Diplomats who iiave seen Khru shchev recently have reported to their governments that he is look ing weary. He is 69 years old.

Wimberly was elected chairman of the Douglas County Relief committee at the regular meeting held last night, his elec tion being subject to confirmation by Gov. Charles II. Martin. The county relief committee re ceived three tons of fresh grape fruit for distribution to eligible re lief clients, it was announced this morning by Franklyn Voyt, execu tive secretary. 10 YEARS AGO April 12, 1953 The remains of a skeleton un covered two and a half miles be low Wilbur on the North Cmpqua River will be sent to the Oregon Crime Laboratory in Portland for identification. Sheriff Cat Baird said. Illinois Senator Dirksen suggest ed that a solution (or the problem of sealing Sen. Morse of Oregon, a Republican turned Independent, might be to put him in tho Diplo matic tiallcry of the Senate. (Eds. Note: A lot of Oregon Republicans probably had lots of more drastic ideas as to what to do with the defecting solon). FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1963 The ironic part of the whole foreign aid program is that its value has been somewhat questionable from the begin ning at least in some areas. The program was designed to do two things. 1 Improve the image of the Unit ed States in the areas receiving the aid and thereby deter the spread of the Com munist ideology and 2 Help put nations back on their financial feet so they could stand on their own. In very few instances has the first ob jective been met. On the contrary, we find that many countries think less of the United States and our policical philoso phy than they did before receiving aid. And, in the second area, we have liter-' ally "Tied a noose . around our own necks." We have, through foreign aid and military spending abroad, placed such large claims in the hands of foreign banks, governments and individuals that the United States is no longer even sol-' vent. If all foreign creditors demanded gold today in payment of their claims against the federal government, we would , not have the resources to pay them. In other words, we have contributed close to $100 billion in economic and mil itary aid to more than 100 foreign, coun tries with France and England leading the aid list and the one sure thing we have accomplished is to place ourselves in the position of a man with a $16,000 house and a $20,000 mortgage. . This is not to debate the 'merits of the entire foreign, aid conceot but to suggest that the whole picture needs re-focusing. Little will be done in this regard, appar ently, until individual taxpayers in Rose burg, Douglas County, Oregon and the en tire nation , rise up by the millions and demand a ' more responsible concept and administration of this crushing drain on the federal treasury. i'hiuch" niore than ever: before to younger aides. Lenten Devotions Scripture: John 19:31-42 In these passages St. John has somberly described a short, cold interlude between the two most sig nificant events of world history. From tho time of the exhausted ut terance "It is finished" is suing forth from the expiring body impaled on a Roman cross through the stunning discovery of our Lord's glorious Resurrection, the world was, during the pcriud de scribed herein, suspended in a dark void. Though mankind stood de prived of tlie powerful warmth of the earthly body of our greatest Teacher, yet it was still momentar ily unaware that mortal death held no finality for the Son of God who would again walk his Father's earth, everlastingly alive. We can, indeed, scarcely com prehend the vast agony of those who helplessly watched a Roman legionnaire wantonly plunge a spear into the lifeless form hanging from the cross; or the heart-sickness of Joseph of Arimathea as he, fear ful of further atrocities, eloquently pleaded for possession of the body of Jesus; or the strangling grief of those who wrapped Hie beloved form in traditional linens and spic es before entombing it in a nearby cave. The true depth of the ' tragedy pervading these few verses of scripture can only be measured by comparing them first with the pre ceding climax dealing with the bar baric disaster of crucifixion, and next, with the following account of the dawn of the modern world beaming over the form of the risen Saviour. St. John's grim, cryptic wools speak of anti-climax, re counting events which must have seemed to the doubtful ones involv ed, like a final savage victory for the devil. Yet to us. armed with the advantage of retrospection, these events were truly only the end of the beginning of our Sa viour's mission. Human despair and tragedy are timeless. They stalk our lives to day just as they did those be grieved few in John's account, who, long ago, ministered to the cruci fied body of Jesus. However, the cross is no longer an instrument of torture. It is today, a super human source of strength; an inexhausti ble fountain of renewal, of rest, of peace. We must remember at j Easier time, not only that Jesus i died on a cross, then lived again. I We must also remember that the j Easter message proves that death or tragedy can have no finality to those for whom Jesus died, and ! upon whom He thereby conferred j everlasting life. Eldon F. Caley. Layman ! St. George's Episcopal I Church , ' ' CRUCIFY HIM! Several years ago I wrote an allegory pertaining to Good Friday. It appeared on the editorial page. Copies were ex hausted. In the intervening years I have had a good many re quests that the article be reprinted. So, today, in response to the requests, we reprint the earlier editorial entitled : ". . ' i Crucify Him! It was startlingly lncongrous that such a little man should have such a big voice. When he shouted, it seemed the voice of a dozen men. Strong, deep-toned, it revcrbrated through the courtyard and echoed off the rock walls, ol the palace. He shouted now, and the milling crowd around him took up the chant: "Crucify him, crucify him!" The little man had been awaken ed early. Kelias. nephew of Caia plias, the higii priest, had knocked at the door of his shop before day light. He had gone grumbling to tlie door, but Kelias had brought interesting news. The Stranger had been arrested. Even now he was being examined before tlie high priests, the leaders, and the scribes. The little man had not forgotten when The Stranger had lashed him from the Temple court, overturn ing his profitable money-changing booth. He still felt the sting of the Galilean's whip. Perhaps The Stranger even now was experienc ing the lash at the hands of the Temple Guard. The little man lick ed his lips, relishing the thought. His uncle, the high priest would be pleased if the little man would go to the governor's palace, Kelias hinted, explaining the nature of his early morning call. The hated Ro man governor alone could decree death for the prisoner, but It might be difficult to persuade him to do so unless he had fear of an upris ing. Kelias said. The little man could use his voice to good service. "It might be that a favor to Caia- phas ." Kelias said no more but glanced meaningly around the drab, dingy shop, while the little man s greedy eyes envisioned the resulting trade if he could but gain! me pauutugeo. even a . o. u,e. priest. So the little man had hurried to Pilate's court as the sun topped the eastern hills, and his voice had led the noisy crowd in its tumult of shouting. There was1 a pause now. as Pi late returned to the balcony and raised his hand for silence. "1 find no fault in this man." he began, but, as the import of his words became clear, he was drowned out by the cries of the crowd urged on by the booming voice of the little man. who drew his robe closer about him and in stinctively straigtened his shoul ders as he received a fleeting smile and an almost imperceptible nod of approval from Caiaphas. Now Pilate was speaking again. "I will punish him. and then re lease him," he said, motioning for the guard to hold up to view the cruel whip of leather thongs to denote the nature of punishment. But again the little man's voice rose above the hysterical throng: "crucify him. crucify him!" As the little man received an other approving glance from the high priest, he observed that Pi - late was performing a strange cere - mony. lie was wasning nis nanrts !

Sianton perately, could not turn away from those entreating eyes. . The scene before him dissolved. He seemed to be in a room of per fect darkness. A door opened be fore him and he could gaze down the corridor of time. The ages stretched before him century after century. He could see him self multiplied a thousand men, a million men. On and on, through out all time, little men mean, spiteful, selfish, greedy little men, selling their ideals for gold, grov ling lor recognition, seeking and accepting subsidies and bribes, de stroying righteousness in return for promised ease; little men with big voices who debased themselves for money even for a smile. ; And he could see, in addition to those countless images of himself, myriads of men who bore the like ness of Pontius Pilate and of Her. od. Leaders shirking duty to re tain power j leaders too craven to render justice, though their course be plain before them; leaders be ing led; leaders who listened to big voices of little men; leaders who cringed before threat of dis turbance which might take them from their places of power. In his vision of tlie ages he could see Caiaphas and Annas, the lead ers, the Pharisees, the appeasing Sadducees. each multiplied by the tens of thousands, going on and on with their plotting, their cruel ties, their hyprocrisies. The vision was fading now. He was back in darkness. He was con scious of a deep silence, broken onlv bv the distant sing-song of a "unclean, unclean. The ,me ,woke from his trance. Ho was trembling violently. Cold perspiration stood on his fore head. He realized his lips were mumbling the leper's words: "un clean, unclean, unclean." He turned troubled eyes to Caia- ! phas, aware that the crowd had ceased its tumult. The high priest, his face drawn into a scowl, nodded vigorously. The little man trembled. His voice, when he tried to shout, came out a mere croak. But gradually greed fought off his trembling. He regained control. He shouted with all his might. The crowd roused it self with a thunderous roar: "cru cify him, crucify him!" Guards dragged The Stranger away, and the little man shud dered as he heard again the sound of the whips. Terrible cruelties would be wrought but, he shrugged away the painful thought, suffering now would shorten torture on the cross. As he turned to leave, he glanced back at Caiaphas. Was it a smile or a sneer he saw on the high priest's hps? i 1 HISTORIC TO THEM The Almanac By United Press International Today is Friday, April 12, the 102nd day of 19(33. The moon is approaching its last quarter. The morning stars are Venus and Saturn. The evening star is Mars. On tiiis day in history: In 1861, Confederate forces opened fire on Fort Sumter in the beginning of the Civil War. In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Ga. Vice President Harry Truman was sworn into ofuce as the 33rd President of the United States. In 1961, Russia launched a man into space the first human being to orbit the earth and return safe ly. A thought for the day: Prime Minister Winston Churchill said: "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." U.S.-European Nuclear Accord Near PARIS ,(UPI) The United States and' its European Allies Thursday were reported near agreement on a plan for an inter Allicd nuclear force, possibly with French participation. The blueprint is expected to be ready for approval by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) council of ministers in Ottawa in May, authoritative sources said. French President Charles de Gaulle, it was learned, has not yet agreed to hand over some of France's tactical air squadrons to this nuclear command. His stand was said to be holding up final accord on the full plan. French sources stressed that De Gaulle has not changed his mind about creating an independent French nuclear force or joining in an integrated NATO force. The inter-Allied force would be made up of various national units under the command of Allied Su preme Commander Gen. Lyman Lemnitzcr. This plan differs from President Kennedy's proposed seaborne mul tilateral force, which would con sist of surface ships mounting Polaris missiles and manned by mixed crews of various nationali ties. t TELEPHONE ANSWERING & SECRETARIAL SERVICE 2183 NE Vine OR 3-6629 or For Dictation OR 2-1083 Clover Kerr Moloney I am sure you will be pleased with us ond FOR ui to know that, In the post yeor, we have once again better than doubled our TELEPHONE ANSWERING business!

By DICK WEST MERIDA, Venezuela (UPD Arriving at this city by air is a rare experience, mainly because the plane doesn't land here. It reaches the ground all right, but I wouldn't call it a landing. In a landing, the plane goes down to the airport. Here the airport comes up to meet the plane. We sort of swooped over a mountaintop and flew along a canyon at an altitude considera bly lower than the adjacent ter rain. Finally we came to a ledge that was fairly level and there was Merida. River Flenks Field Below the airport is a river and above it is Pico Bolivar, at 16,000-odd feet the highest point in the Venezuelan Andes. I flew here for more research on a book I am planning called "Don't Let Vacations Spoil Your Fun." This is an ideal place for the patter on mountain resorts. The mere sight of those jagged peaks flashing by the airplane window put me in the mood for climbing. The first thing I did was climb a bar stool for an in fusion of nerve tonic. Then, it being siesta time, I climbed into bed for a nap. Such a regimen probably is too strenuous for the average tourist, but f wanted to get into condi tion for the return flight. Taking off from Merida should be relatively simple. In a pinch, they can just roll the plane to the edge of the precipice and give it a shove. - Ignore Air Warnings My advice to persons planning a trip to the mountains this sum mer is to ignore all of the warn ings they will hear about the air I ; being thin at high altitudes. Most people will not be both I ered by the lack of oxygen, ex- cept when they try to breathe, i The same is true of tlie tern ; perature. Persons who are im mune to frostbite won't mind it i at all. I I went up past 15,000 feet with j hardly any difficulty. My only trouble came at a lower altitude where I experienced a softening ' of the brain. This was what caused me to go up past 15,000 feet. What is niore, I did it the hard way. f rode up in a cable car. The cars glide along on cables suspended hundreds of feet above the ground. On the mountainside below I could see Andean hillbil blies tending their livestock. But ANOTHER WERSHOW AUCTION ANOTHER WERSHOW. WED.

"Today's leaders sold newspap ers and did other chores to help their parents," he said recent ly, but today's youths grow up "in apartments or fine homes and are not called on to do even such minor chores as mowing lawns." .
