Dunes At least one hearing on the subject of . the establishment of a Dunes National Seashore is already planned, but it's not enough. Two bills to create a national sea shore in the dunes area of Lane, Douglas and Coos counties have been introduced in Congress. The first of these, which could very well set the pattern for the final determination of park and juris diction, is the one introduced by Sen. Maurine Neuberger. Mrs. Neuberger says the first of the hearings will take place May 8 but in Washington, D.C. This is fine to allow reports from Washington officials who are for or against the bill. But it almost certainly ignores the thoughts and feelings of the people who will have to live with the park if it is established! We feel a park of one kind of another should be established as a breath-taking attraction to the people ; of the nation, and we feel It should be protected in its present, comparatively-untouched state. ; But the decision should be made only after the two houses of Congress have become fully aware of the needs to make it a magnificent park. This can only be achieved by taking pulses at all levels including the local level. - The Senate subcommittee studying Mrs. Neuberger's bill will Communities Show More Growth Signs Congratulations are in order for at least three communities of the county for new public buildings which greatly en hance them. ... At Winston, a new city hall is now in operation. This is the city's first, proving that the county's newest city is really coming of age fast. At Lookingglass, a brand new Grange WASHINGTON WINDOW New York Conservative Party Calls Rockefeller Unacceptable -r By LYLI C. WILSON United Prtii lntrntlonl The rambunctious Conaervstive Party of the state of New York hai pronounced uov. nelson a Rockofeller unacceptable as the 1964 Republicap presidential nom inee. The New York conserva tives profess to see no real dif ference between Rockefeller and President John F. Kennedy in do mestic and foreign policies. New York's Conservative Party is a sturdy infant, born in the 1962 state election. The party polled 141,877 votes in 1926 for David Jaquith, conservative can didate for governor. These votes generally were cast by Republi cans who believe that Rockefeller does not represent them or their party. J. Daniel Mahoney is chairman of the New York Con servative Party. If Rockefeller is nominated for president next year, Mahoney plans to enter against him in a slate of conserv ative presidential electors in New York State. Willing t Split OOP This - maneuver probably would so split the Republican vote as to assure Uiat Kennedy would carry New York State. So be it, say the conservatives. That is exactly what they have in mind to be come a balance of power element in New York capable of denying the stato'a presidential electors to a liberal Republican. The long haul purpose is to persuade the Republican Party and Its nomi nating convention to give a con servative a chance to be elected president on the Republican ticket. Mahoney explained that he hoped to compel the Republican Party to nominate a conservative who can appeal to the growing tide of conservative Republican Ism in the South. The conservatives drafted a Tkn from tha llltt 40 YEARS AGO April 21, 121 Chief of Police Ketch blossomed forth today in a new uniform with brass buttons, gold letters, 'n ev crything. This is the first time that members of the city police force have been uniformed, al though such action has been pro posed on several occasions. A very enjoyable band concert was given by the Douglas County Concert Band Saturday night. The band paraded for a short time and then stopped in front of the new street light on Jackson Street and gave an hour-long concert. IS YEARS AGO April M, 1Ml Eighty-five men from the fourth corps area In Georgia arrived at the Steamboat Civilian Conserva tion Corps camp yesterday. Seven ty ef theso men art tatd to be b'riaf Site Hearing Called For be discussing new vistas. l, . legislative program for New York State. One item demands elimlna Hon of state unemployment bene fits to persons on strike. It has been estimated that' newspaper printers recently striking in New York City received an an average of $121 a week in tax free strike benefits and unemployment insur ance. This compared with a top day scale for working printers of $141, The conservatives contend that there was insufficient incen tive for the printers to return to work. Said the conservatives' Jaquith: "The New York City newspaper strlkd unquestionably was pro longed by the payment of tax-free unemployment compensation ben efits to the striking printers. Since the seventh week of the strike, these benefits were paid from atate unemployment com pensation funds, and ultimately will be charged to the newspa pers against whom the strike was waged. 'Subsidised Strike' "The whole concept of collec tive bargaining Is nullified when one party to a labor dispute is compelled to subsidize a strike against itself. Furthermore, un em, '.oyment compensation never waa Intended to support persons who are unemployed as a result of their own deliberate choice. Only one other state in the union, Rhode Island, follows this pal pably unsound practice." The conservatives estimate that Rockefeller has increased state spending by 57 per cent over that of Democratic Gov. Avercll Har riman whom lie succeeded. They want some economy. What New York needs, the con servatives assert, is the kind of leadership, determination and courage shown in Ohio by econ omy-m i n d e d Republican Gov. of The Nawt-Riviaw new iccruits, and 15 of them are men from an old company in the south.

Pa g MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1963 the matter of holding at least one hear ing in the area of the park (probably either at Florence or Reedsport) when it meets May 8. This is one of the times when letters and telegrams can have a strong influence on the determination in favor of hearings here. They should be sent now to beat the May 8 deadline. In discussing his bill, Rep. Robert Duncan has taken the wise course in call ing for at least one hearing in Oregon. Although there are a few differences in the two bills, they appear to be close enough to bring about a compromise. Let's hope the compromise is reached in this session. - The haggling over the park has con tinued for years now. It has led to ill feelings, has left the people who live in or along the edges of the proposed park up in the air. And has deterred manage ment actions of several state and fed eral agencies which have land in the area. Both Sen. Neuberger and Rep. Dun can should turn their efforts to hammer ing out the compromises as soon as hear ings have brought out all the facts. Then whichever agency is selected to adminis ter the vast park can get to work mak ing it one of the " finest tourist attrac tions to an America always ready to visit hall has gone up through the efforts of people in the community.

To The Editor: I was very pleased, for two good reasons, to read the editorial of April .10. Regarding, "Bicycle Riders need Instruction, Too." the second rea son first, as many people will read this in a letter to the editor, where as they wouldn't otherwise. Now the first and very imporant reason to put forth something that can save the most important thing to us all; a human life. The Loyal Order of Moose, in ternationally, has had a bicycle safety program for years. We, in Koscburg school system have been trying for tho last three years; with the full cooperation from the Roseburg Police Department, the elementary school principals and the Loyal Order of Moose to give the students that ride bicycles or will some day receive a new bi cycle the finest safety program thnl we could make possible. Safety progtams in the schools, with members of the police depart ment explaining the rules of the road for both bicycles and autos. giving the students a nice printed copy of these to take home with them to help their parents to help their children stay alive! Also, checking all bicycles at the schools tor safe riding condition, such as brakes, fenders, proper and tight steering mechanism, and every thing that will make the bicycle a safe piece of tnachinery to have on the street. You are so right, that the hu man error part must be taken care of by the parents repeatedly. That is, if they core about the life ol their child After the bicycle check by members of the Moose, if the bicycle is found to be in proper condition to be operated safely, a reflective safety sticker is placed upon the rear fender to help late in the day if the child hasn't got ten home before dark; as it is not recommended even with good lights for bicycle travel on streets or highways after dark. Again thank you for the editorial nn this, as I find that the right people never seem to receive enough notice regarding their re sponsibilily. Jim Waterfield Civic Affairs Chairman Loyal Order of Moose 'Melting Pot' of Hawaii Shows Integration Works To The Editor: A sermon by a native minister in church in Honolulu was an in I id V 4 i . By ROBERT C. RUARK Cuba ain't worth it, any more than Formosa is worth it, any more than Laos is worth it, any more .than Archduke Ferdinand was worth it. when his assassina tion touched off the First World War. I am certain that most Cuban exiles are a worthy lot, and great ly regret their early endorsement of Fidel Castro, but to let a bunch of small-bore pirates and wild-eyed freebooters shove us in the risk ol war by high-sea operation is silly. Cuba ain t worth it. We do not really owe the dis enchanted Cubans hospitality to mount small, vengeful guerilla at tacks which can accomplish noth ing more important than 'the sink ing of a fishing smack or the lob bing of a few 20-millimeter shells into some obscure port on the wrong side of the island. We do not owe them sanctuary, spiration to me recently. Through the sermon and following observa tions I could see the result of in tegrationthe operation of the "melting pot." My son and I are just back from a wonderful vacation trip to our new state. By way of digression I will report that we do not plan to bore our friends with slides and pictures. But I would like to tell of some inspirational events and ideas. We attended a beautiful Hawai ian church, Kawaiiahoa, in Hono lulu. Two ministers, one a native, the othr from England, conducted the service. The Hawaiian minister gave a most uplifting sermon on anti Christ in the world today, point ing up through biblical and current events that religious friction, in tolerance, racial hatred, the strug gle for white supremacy are prob lems that are slowly destroying our modern civilization. He stated that in his opinion the world today can learn a great deal about the solu tion to its racial problem from Hawaii, where all races work in peace. We stayed at the Reef Hotel on Waikiki beach. Several conventions were in progress. They were proof sufficient that the melting pot. where all talent is used, is the answer to integration. As another digression, a personal one, I recall that we tried to slip away unnoticed from this church and its attendance of about 2.000 persons following the sermon and before the communion service. As we tiptoed down the stairs I was startled when the Hawaiian min ister slipped his arm in mine and said: "You have a beautiful, in tent face. I should have more like you." Now, I don't think I'll ever be the same again. My ego was in flated to the nth degree. Like most people, we made the Circle Island tour, visited Pearl Harbor and took in a Hawaiian luau at Hawaiian Village roast pig wrapped in banana leaves and barbecued in a pit, raw fish, etc., topped off with a three-hour floor show of dancing, singing and beautiful women. However, another big event in my life was a visit to the library of University of Honolulu. The school was closed for Easter va cation but the head librarian very graciously guided me through the huge library and the buildings of the University. He was thrilled to hear I had written "Wagon Trains 1-ead to Roses in December." a history of Drain, and ended up or dering copies for the university library.' To Top Things Off Cuba Isn't The Risk actually, in the disruption of indus try that one encounters in Florida, any more than we owed them the disgraceful blackmail job we ac cepted in the ransoming of the prisoners. Hell's delicious delight it's their country, and if we have to sink it we can sink it. But we do not have to risk a major war with Russia over who has custody of Castro's memory in case some body can shoot straight enough to kilt him. I have spent about 30 years watching governments topple in South America, and especially in Cuba. One bum replaces another bum at the top, and the graft ei ther gets better or worse, at the bottom or at the top. I know a lot of rich Cubans who backed Castro against Batista, for selfish reasons, and some of them are still rich enough to bail out the son-and-hcir for a cold cash price of 50 grand. Others live in Madrid or Miami, Readers But the thrill was meeting with some of the students on the cam pus. They were just precious! So polite and interesting! They urged me to stay on and talk with them. I was told by a teacher that these young people aim high. They believe they must do better than whites to be recognized. Eighty seven per cent of high school grad uates go on to college. Junior col leges are being planned to take care of the overflow. Throughout the Hawaiian schools a great deal is being done for their gifted children. The question now is being raised as to whether gifted teachers should not be taken from the average and poorer stu dents and placed with advanced classes. This sounds reasonable to me. because the gifted teacher is apt to set too fast a pace for the slower students, thus really doing him an injustice. As to certification of its teachers, Hawaii ranks first in the nation. My only regret, after returning, is that I waited so long to take the trip; all the song, dance and beautv does something to one. Goodwill greets you at every cor ner. I think Oregon has as much na tural beauty to offer as docs Ha waii. But we haven't learned the art of publicity as yet. Mrs. William (Jen) Carlson ' El Camino Motel P. O. Box 423 Yoncalla, Ore.

As the past few days of press will tell you, it is the nature of the Latin American, as it is the na ture of the Arab, to "make a revo lution." The word' "junta" has come into the English language. It is expected now that "the mili tary" will take over, and that free elections will be held." These elections are usually held after a visit to Washington, a dinner with the presidential incumbent, and some sort of a deal about aid. In the old days the Cubans used to "make a revolution" by sticking up banks in Key West or Miami. They "make revolution" by shoot ing each other in side-street cafes in New York. The Cubans are real ly a pretty comic bunch of thes pians at heart, as are , a great many Latin Americans not engag ed in being Indians, farming, or living in jungles or on mountains. There is really nothing sillier than a Latin-American student, who does not go t school to study. He goes to choo! so he can learn to make demonstrations, according to who tells him when to demonstrate against whatever is fashionable to demonstrate against this year. I cannot tell you offhand how many Latin governments have top pled, how many Middle Eastern ar rangements have been disarranged, because some neurotic sergeant, or colonel, or general, decided that the status ought to come un-quocd, and he was just the dandy little chap to resettle the political chrom osomes. So, you shoot a king, or you rout a president out of his nice warm bed, or you bang down a Karim Kassein, or you knock off a pathetic little minstrel-show end man like Sylvanus Olympio of To goland, a country which isn't a country at all, or you assassinate a real dangerous nut like Lumum ba of the Congo, and in the end it doesn t mean anything at all It doesn't mean that the people will eat better, or be free of mid night requisitions by the house sp lice. It doesn t mean democracy It just means that somebody like America will send more money to back up more, if newer, rotten gov- ernments, so that politicians may steal more on corrupt contracts in order to buy more white Cadillacs and more blonde mistresses and more gold beds and more num bered accounts in Switzerland, the land of the free franc and the home of the brave escapee. Cuba ain't worth it. Most of the countries we try to buy loose from Russian influence ain't worth the effort. And, certainly, 1 will not ; go willingly to war to fight over Somalia's recent displeasure over: its severance from Britain's : about-to-emerge Kenya, in an Afri can Balkanization which only re sults in the air being full of ar rows. It is about time, it seems to me. that we allow these underdeveloped i nations, so-called, to fight each oth-1 cr, kill each other, and, if neces sary, starve to death with each other, on their own bloody time.

Question: In view of the weather this win ter and spring, might not FUR COATS have been more appropri ate? Dr. Peter van de Kamp, profes sor of astronomy at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, reports the discovery of Barnard's Star B which, he says, is an INVISIBLE planet six light years distant from the earth, 500 times the size of the earth and one and a half times larger than Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system. Question: If Barnard's Star B is invisible, how did he find it? He explains that he found it by tracking the movements of Bern ard's Star, whose "irregular move ments," he said, indicated the presence of Barnard's B. A bit improbable, you say? ... Wait a minute. Did you ever watch a jack rab bit that in its turn was watching a coyote? You couldn't see the coyote, but by the way the jack rabbit was acting you knew a coyote was there.

In addition to the income tax, which would raise $34 million per biennium, the house was slated to decide again the fate of a proposed four cent a pack cigarette tax which would raise $18 million a biennium. The cigarette tax measure has already led a stormy life. It was rejected by a 33-24 vote in the house on April 8, and reconsider ed and sent back to the house tax committee the following day. The tax committee reacted by sending down a three per cent sales tax bill. The tax committee anticipated the sales tax would be defeated, but sent it to the house to clear the way for consideration of the income tax and reconsideration of the cigarette tax. Hmmmmmm. . Do you remember the ancient tale of Finnigin, the railroad brake maii, and his brief report of the derailing of a car in his freight train? It read like this: t "Off ag'in, . "On ag'in, "Gone ag'in.

Auto makers are advertising their 1963 compact cars in decided ly uncompactlike terms,, using su perlatives like "biggest,", "long est." "most powerful." This return to bigness actually began soon after the compacts were introduced as a refreshing answer to the challenge of foreign competition. The best-selling com pacts became the de luxe models, those most bechromed, with the biggest powerplants, with automa tic drive, bucket seats. Today this creeping inflation is finally being reflected in larger dimensions on most of the (quote) compacts (un quote). . Granted that Deroit, like Nero, is only giving ' the people what they want. But the constant at tempt to anticipate the whims of the public has resulted in many cars losing their identities entire ly. What was a sensible, family model one year may be a flashy sports type the next. And what of the person who still wants a true compact? Are we going to witness the whole play . over again the trend to over blown chariots, the inroads of tiny, foreign cars, the agonizing de cision to build small American cars, their popularity, the switch to "intermediate" sizes, the come back of the big cars-. . . .? At present, the American motor ist still has a large and fairly well balanced selection, ranging from true compact all the. way up to the most luxurious limousine. If they really want to serve the public,, the auto makers will maintain this situation.
