WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1963 Legion Season Assures Fond Memories One more look at the 19G3 Roseburg American Legion Junior baseball team and season. 1 Before the excitement of the season begins to fade into the dimness of history and the fine line between fact and fic tion blurs, some few brief observations may be in order . . . And they are all complimentary. For one thing, this year's team was not one of exceptional talent. As few as four members of the squad could be con sidered really good baseball players and fewer than that have shown any poten- . tial for a career in baseball. Pitching, as the record shows, has been excellent and long-ball hitting has been above average and that's about it. How, then, can we account for the tre mendous record of this year's team a record which saw them more-or-less ex pected to win another state title before the season ever started? How can we ac :ount for their success under such pres sure and with every opponent pointing specifically for victories over Roseburg? Three factors,' at least, contributed to their achievement. First, and least paramount of the three, was community spirit and backing. There can be no doubt that the tremen dous crowds which turned out for every (fame and cheered vociferously for their favorites helped put the team in the right frame of mind to win. The second, and very important, ele ment in the 1963 success was coaching. Here again, the record bears out the claim. Since Bill Harper has become as ' sociated with Roseburg Junior Legion baseball, the team has compiled an al most unbelievable record of accomplish ment. His joining the athletic staff of (Dr agon State University next month is fur ther testimony to his ability. The most important contributing fac tor to the success of 1963 cannot be de scribed in one word the closest single word description would be "attitude." Actually, the players just had the desire, the confidence and the determination to succeed and they won more games just because they wouldn't be beat than for any other reason Bouquets for contributions to the out standing season should go to the men who performed such a commendable-job with grounds, tickets and other details. Also to the many individuals .who organized and supervised the state and regional ' playoffs and to the unsung the Umpqua Lions Club whose members did such an amazing job with the concessions all season. The 1963 American Legion Junior baseball season is one all of us will long remember with great pleasure and in tense pride. THE LIGHTER SIDE: 2 Creeping Euphoris Is New Menace ' By DICK WEST ! WASHINGTON (UPI) Dur ing recent Senate hearings on the ' test ban treaty, a couple of wit nesses cautioned that there was sonic danger it might lead to "euphoria." At first, that part of the testi mony didn't make much of an impression on me. That was be cause I had euphoria confused with Ethiopia. 1 thought the witnesses were warning that Ethiopia might start nuclear testing. Which didn't seem very likely because Ethio pia had already signed the treaty. Besides that, I wasn't, aware that Ethiopia had any ' nuclear weapons to test. '. Atmospheric Condition ', Upon reconsideration, I con cluded that euphoria must be some kind of atmospheric condi tion; that when you tested you got fallout, and when you didn't test you got euphoria. Curious to know whether euphoria was as harmful as fall out, I consulted a . dictionary and learned that the word means "a feeling of well-being." That con firmed my worse fears. Since then I have been keeping a close watch to see it I could detect any signs of creeping euphoria. My vigilance may have hit pay dirt. Assuming that I can, recognize euphoria when I see it, then Vice President Lyndon B. . Johnson scattered some of it around in a speech before an AFL-CIO con vention at Houston, Tex., Monday. "I feel good today," Johnson said. "Our nation was never stronger. Our economy was never healthier. I am here in my home state. My friends are in this room. It rained last night in the hill country. And tomorrow's my birthday." Its Full Effect' - If Johnson has that much euphoria even before the treaty is ratified by the Senate, I shud der to think how well ho will feel when it is in full effect. Clearly, some sort of counter measures arc called for before euphoria begins to run rampant. Let it never be said that I'm not duing my part to stem the tide. I feel lousy. Also apprehensive. my azaleas. Over the weekend son. who is home from college, banged up the car. It hardly rained here at all this summer. Then came a flood and washed away nearly everything that wasn't killed by the drought. The rest undoubtedly will suc cumb to an early frost. There is blight on the tomato plants and mildew in the base ment. The furnace needs fixing before cold weather comes. I think the house has termites. In short, the way it looks now t will be able to slave off euphor ia indefinitely. Living Costs Hit New Peak WASHINGTON (UPI) Living costs soared to a new peak in July because of sharp price in creases for pork and fresh veget ables, the Labor Department re ported today. The department's consumer price index hit a record high of 107.1, up five tenths of 1 per cent over the previous month. This means it took S10.71 in July to buy the same goods and services that cost $10 in the base period 1957-59. The rise triggered cost-of-living pay increases of from 1 to 3 cents an hour for 1,025,000 workers In the auto, aerospace, farm and construction equipment and truck ing industries. , A Labor Department- price ex pert said the July increase was the largest for any month since last September. Arnold Chase, assistant com missioner of labor statistics, said he expected prices to be "rea sonably stable" during the rest of 1SK13. He foresaw no major increases. Pork prices jumped by more than 5 per cent last month as farmers , seut fewer hogs to mar ket. Ilises also were reported in prices of apples, lettuce, toma toes, beef and veal. Soft drink prices climbed again, reflecting a spiraling increase in sugar prices earlier this year. The food increases were blamed primarily for- the sharp The Editor's Corner By Charles V.

Mark Hat field and newsman Charles Col lingwood will appear calm and relaxed at 10:30 p.m. Friday when "Portrait" is broadcast over CBS-TV. Their apparent calm belies the electric air of frantic activity which surrounded the taping of the program at Hatfield's home here Monday. Scores of cameramen,- directors, producers, technicians, and truck loads of equipment converged on the northwest corner of High and Kearney streets early Monday. Lights were installed, furniture moved, cameras placed, micro phones set up. Crowd Gathers The Hatfields. who were awav for the weekend, mot Collingwood in Portland in the morning. They arrived in Salem shortly before noon.;- Streets were blocked . nff while pictures were taken of rtheir House., Crowds of onlookers gath ered. Mrs. Hatfield had left instruc tions to prepare lunch for 14. She ordered a quick change, and 40 were fed. After lunch the taping of the interview began. A sound recorder went out, and they had lo start over. Then a grass fire threatened a nearby television relay, and fire trucks roared past the house while Hat field chatte'd unconcernedly inside. Wife Watches in Truck Mrs. Hatfield, still wearing an apron from lunch, sat in one of the television trucks and watched me program on a monitor. The Hatfield living room be came oven-like from the heat of television lights. When it was over, a director commented on Hatfield's relaxed air. "I don't feel relaxed," the gov ernor smiled as he wiped perspi ration from his brow. A director, after reviewing the taped interview, commented "that's the best interview we've ever done. The governor is oharming, and he's so articulate." Yoncallans Leave To Live In Elmira By MRS.

Sea Rodeo Tourists Brought Boom To Palamos Nation's Political Parties Have Reversed Philosophies One of our popular magazines recently published a fea ture article, "Radical Right Invades the G.O.P." That, it seems to me, raises a question. Is it any worse for the "radical right" to invade the Republican Party than for the "radical left" to invade the Democratic Party, or both parties for that matter? Isn't it smarter to do away with the titles of Republican and Democrat, which don't apply to either of our major parties today, and divide along the lines of "Liberal" and "Conservative," which would more truly reflect our political philosophies? Thi Democrat Party of today bears absolutely no resemblance to the party of only a comparative ly few years ago. No longer does it follow the Jeffersonian dictates upon which it was founded. A Democrat a few years ago be lived in free trade, states' rights, decentralized government, fiscal responsibility, minority representa tion. The Republican Parly, on the other hand, was a party favoring protective tariffs, centralized au thority, subjugation of state gov ernments to federal powers, and subjugation of minorities by the majority. What has happened to reverse so completely the two major part ies in their philosophies? The answer, I believe, is to be found in a socialistic invasion, first of the Democratic Party, with the take-over of the Republican Party next on the agenda. Americans for Democratic Ac tion (the ADA), a strong socialist organization, lung has dictated the policy and acts of the Democrat Party, so muh so, in fact, that the party has completely reversed it self from its original principles. The ADA has cleverly insinuated different name, a name that isn't detested in the South, and the pres ent Republican philosophy would obtain almost unanimous endorse ment in that part of the country that has kept the Democratic Party Strang, and which has been so negligently treated because the Democratic Party had it in hand. All of which brings us back to the question, just why should it be wrong for the "radical right" to invade the G.O.P. when the "radi cal left" has been quietly mounting its invasion of the same territory for years? 3n 2 Cjone dSi uu3 By ROBERT C. RUARK PALAMOS, Spain It is only slightly less crowded than Wash ington where I am at the moment, but it is' a different sort of crowd. Here we are already . integrated Germans, Americans, Italians, Swedes. English, Dutch,. Danes, Swiss, French all getting along peaceably with the minority group. The minority group is Spanish. . We march, all right, just as the multitudes will be marching on Washington, but we march in Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, Volkswag en and Hillman, Chevrolet and Au stin, Saab and Renault, and Jaguar and Cadillac. The minority group marches in Seats, the Spanish ver sion of Uie Fiat. We march to the post office and the cable head and to Senor Sam so's all-purpose cantina. We march to the beaches and lo the "camp ings" and to the Cala Go-Go and to the souvenir shops.: We march to the Hostal de la Gavina and to the Flamingo and the other twist joints. The Spaniards march with us. They may be a minority group for three months of summer, but they arc shaking that old peseta tree and gathering in the leaves that fall from the turistas. The carcasses of dead and dying vehicles are hauled to one side of the road, and the screams of the mangled tourist who took the curve too fast mingles with the screams of the old settlers who live in spa cious villas and who lament the good old days when the Spaniards owned the Costa Brava, and a for eigner was a curiosity. But the tradespeople don t moan. The people who lease land for camping sites don t moan, and nei ther do the real estate specula tors. For the past five years at least, the once-exclusive 'Costa Brava has ridden the crest of a tourist tidal wave which has turned the rugged coast into a building bonanza. The building boom is like nothing I ever saw. Tiny villages are now respectable, towns; little towns are reasonable cities. ''. German and Swiss money has poured in. build ings shoot up, and real estate has octupled its value in the past 10 years. I came to Spain 10 years ago last May, and there was only one small hotel in Palamos, and one rentable good house from Palamos to San Feliu, some 15 kilometers away. I stood alone in my modest hutch on the beach, with a clear, unobstructed view in all direc tions. My place is now a small oasis in V Taken from tht files of tht News- Review itself into virtually every phase of wwww ww In The Day's News- By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, the civil rights demonstration march on Washing ton was shaping up. It is expected to include 100.000 or more persons, both white and colored. Its sponsors pledge -that it will be orderly. And to help them car ry out their pledge, a force of some 10,000 security officers is standing by. It will include police men, National Guardsmen, civilian police reserves, parade marshals and if needed some 4.000 sol diers and Marines. The ruckus in Viet Nam is get ting worse. The Russians cuss out the Red Chinese again. In the Middle East, fierce fight ing erupts between Israel and Jor dan. In New York, a teacher strike threatens to close all the schools. The long-discussed railroad strike is due to come to a head later in the week. The argument over ratification of the nuclear test ban treaty continues. Question: Isn't ANYBODY more? happy any New angle on the test ban pact: Speaking in Los Angeles the oth ain and Russia "offers nothing but false hope." Speaking at a prayer breakfast, he told his hearers that "Russia is still out for world revolution, and the test ban treaty means nothing." The test ban treaty has been negotiated and signed. But before it can become effective, so far as the United States is concerned, it must be ratified by the Senate. Our senators arc now making up their minds as to how they are going to vote. On the treaty, you may have strong personal convictions. You mav feel that it SHOULD be rati fied. You may feel that it SHOULD NOT be ratified. But You mav say to yourself WHAT CAN I DO? a suburb which links mushroomed towns for miles. I am surrounded by neighbors of all nationalities. In the older days nobody swam within a quarter-mile of "my" beach (there are no private beach es in Spain). Now "my" beach is sardined with oil-gleaming, nearly naked bodies. (In the older days men wore tops and the unmar ried swam separately according to sex, with the married safely es tablished as a buffer stale be tween.) Once the status symbol in Pal amos was a bicycle. Now the bicy clists own motor bikes, and the motorcyclists own automobiles. Ev erybody's got money; it is almost impossible to hire a carpentor or a plumber, because the projects still spring up like mushrooms. - There are whole villages com pounded of hotels of various cate gory, not counting annexes,, pen sions, rooms for rent, villas for hire, formal camp sites and areas where tents may be pitched. Cafes, restaurants, night clubs, new mo vie theaters, fancy shops, cheap shops hombre, have we have come on. When I came to Spain if you didn't buy gasoline in Gerona the chances are you wouldn't find any until you got to Barcelona. And if you were headed for Madrid, you I filled up in Barcelona and again in Zaragoza or you ran dry. Now we have the most modern of filling stations, with attendant, "snack bars" and motel accommodations all over the landscape. We have zebra-striped apartments and ultra modern office buildings and factory sites that look like chic suburbia. We have new roads and more abuilding, because by the time they get one end finished, the other end has worn out from tourist traffic. And, oh, yes, we have signs commemorating accidents, and uni formed traffic cops, and speed-limit zones. We had none of these boons to civilization before. Pretty soon we will have a hy drofoil boat service from Barce lona to the Costa Brava, and heli copters, too, I shouldn't wonder. But one thing remains from the past which makes all this progress bearable. It is still almost impos sible to get Barcelona on the tele phone, not to mention the outside world, and any country in which the phone system is lousy cannot be all bad. .lopyrlghl. 1963 by United Feature Synd.
