Newspaper Page TextJ .4 The Ncwi-Review, Roseburg, Ore.- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1963 Cities' Crowing Pains Lessened By Planning Scare articles are written every once in a while which indicate fast-growinjr cities in Oregon are eating up great chunks of rural land and threatening the state's agricultural potential. But an Oregon State University agri cultural economist, Dr. Emery Castle, says there isn't a shortage of agricultur al land yet and there won't be in the forseeable future. That takes care of that point. But he goes on to make some , even more telling points against the helter-skelter expan sion of cities, even though a case cannot be made for preserving agricultural land on the basis of an imminent food short age. Dr. Castle says it's quite true that cities often use agricultural land when less valuable land could be used, but this is only one reason for the necessity of planning a community's expansion. He makes these points in the OSU Agricultural Experiment Station's quart erly magazine. It is almost as if he were talking about Douglas County. Every community in the county is fall ing short in planning for its growth. Roseburg is probably ahead of the rest in taking some steps, and its planning program will be a comprehensive one when it is completed. But the "helter skelter" growth of which Dr. Castle speaks is taking place faster than the planning. Most other communities of the county are not even in the planning stage.. Dr. Castle makes a strong case against letting cities grow without care ful planning. He notes that when cities are left to themselves, their growth pattern is more often poor than not. Again Roseburg is a good example. Its development has taken place in "tongues" along highways such as the Melrose road, Garden Valley Road, old Highway 99 and Dia mond Lake Boulevard. It has "leap frogged" to Newton Creek, Green and Calkins Road, all without consideration of the problems which would result when the city expands to them. Dr. Castle says that all public and private costs and benefits should be weighed, rather than simply locating highways (and thus development) on the basis of least immediate cost of rond construction. Of course, cities themselves cannot do the planning for areas outside city lim its, but they can lay the groundwork for establishment of a planned pattern of growth. Roseburg has proved that, none too soon, by working out ,an agreement of joint planning between the city and county. The result should be simply a plan for the best uses of lands for future growth. With the pattern, such things as sep tic tanks in unsuitable soil, damages to structures on known flood plains and il logical use of crop-producing lands for in dustry or home tracts will be avoided. Roseburg has taken a big step in its program of promoting planning, particu larly in the environs of the city. Other cities of the county might also investigate the possibilities of such an approach to help make their growth less painful. "Maybe We Should Trim Off a Little--; Say About Here" THE LIGHTER SIDE: ' 7 Theater Prompts Closure Nostalgia By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) The famous old Capitol Theater in downtown Washington was closed this week, marking the end ot an era. Actually. I'm not . sure which era it marked thi end of. I just threw that in to get your attcn lion. My Journalism professor once told me that nobody gives a hang about a theater closing unless an era ends with It. Fish Commission May Liberalize Season On Salmon PORTLAND (UPI) -The Ore gon Fish Commission today was considering the possibility of lib eraliting the commercial salmon fishing season on the Columbia River for the Sept. 16-Oct. 10 pe riod. The matter was taken under advisement following an optimis tic report Wednesday by Robert Thompson, head of the commis sion's Columbia River manage ment study. Thompson said the Oregon and Washington, research staffs were considering a recommendation to liberallio weekly closures for the period on the basis of the anti cipated run of silvers. Thompson said ocean troll and sport catches off the mouth ot the Columbia compare favor ably with 1902. The troll catch this year was about 180,000 fisli June through August, compared to 100,000 in 1902. An order liberallzlne woeklv closures would require an emer gency meeting of the Fish Com mission. The commission decided to hold a public hearing in November on commercial shad fishing. Anyway, the Capitol is closed, a victim of America's changing cultural pattern. Its interior is be ing converted to office space for lawyers and other professional men. Apparently, more people go to see lawyers nowadays than go to see movies. And with lawyers you have to bring your own popcorn. An effort was . mado to per suade Congress to save Uie thea ter, but Congress was too busy doing other things like watch ing television. So the Capitol had to close. As I crossed its ornate lobby and climbed its grand staircase for the last time, nostalgia was gushing from every pore. Which was strange, because I had never been in the theater be fore., I'm the drive-in type my self. . What prompted my visit was the aale by auction of the Capi tol's furnishings, which included some valuable antique pieces, particularly in the rest rooms. I wanted to see if I could pick up an antique "standing room only" sign cheap. When I arrived, the auctioneer was holding forth in the "ladies' salon" on the mezzanine. It was called the "Dubarry Room." I didn't get the connection. f our cast marble drinking foun tains with cherubs on the pede stals sold lor around 5200 each. Any arrangements for a plumb er you'll have lo make yourself," uie auctioneer announced. Eight brass poles from which velvet ropes once were suspend ed sold for $7 apiece. I asked one of the losing bidders what he had wanted with them. "Well," he said, "they ought lo mime good hitching posts." "Do you own some horses?" "No, I live in an apartment he said. Unfortunately, the "standing room only" signs wcren t put on the block while I was there. But I felt richer for the experience. I had witnessed the end of nn era. Day's News Frank Jenkins From Washington: President Kennedy today in ef fect exempted married men from the draft in a move that will re lieve an estimated 340,000 young husbands from military service. He issued an executive order pro viding thai husbands of draft age from 19 through 25 will be called only if the pool of eligible single men is exhausted. Since there ts an ample pool of single men, the White House order said, what it actually means is that married men will be draft proof except in the case of a national emergency.

That violates the dictum of the famous city editor of the New York Sun who said that when a dog bites a man it isn't news because it happens so often, but when a man bites a dog it IS news.

Mr. Gronouski holds three Uni versity of Wisconsin degrees, in cluding a doctor of philosophy in government. He grins and admits that when news of his nomination to be postmaster reached him, he was still carrying around a letter his wifo had given him two weeks before to be mailed.

And He confesses Ho doesn't yet even know his ZIP code number so that he can recite it instantly when questioned. Do you reckon he knows his So cial Security number?

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyst MADRID, Spain (UPI) Ask al most any politically minded Spaniard what he believes is Spain's greatest internal problem, and the reply will be, "the succession." Spain officially is still a king dom, but the phrase, "the suc cession," applies to only one man and that is Generalissimo Fran cisco Franco, in all respects Spain's chief of state. Today's Spain, 25 years after the civil war. is a nation mould ed by Franco and ruled by his decisions. ' Franco resents being called a dictator, preferring rather to re gard himself as a man who ful filled a national need and still is answering to it. Whatever the definition, Spain has found tranquility after 100 years of civil war, enjoys a ris ing prosperity and once more is looking to the world beyond the Pyrenees. Even. Francos home critics ad mit there is no one in the coun try able to match him in nation al prestige. There it opposition There is opposition to Franco in Spain, said one knowledgeable American. But it is an opposition upon which it is hard to place your finger, the source pointed out to this correspondent who flew to Spain aboard an Iberia Airlines plane to be shown the situation close-up. Except for the Communists and the anarchists, no one is plotting against him. The minimum wage has been raised to a dollar a day, and the' little man about to raise his standard of living with a new apartment or a television set is not willing to risk it in a new re volt. Most of the onposilion simply is waiting for Franco to get out of office or die. Approaching 71, Franco shows signs of neither. But neither has there been a de cision on the succession, the man or system which will enable Spain to continue its era of stability. Franco himself has said he can Freeze Cuts Orange Juice Pack For '63 believe that idea is fading in the Finally there has been a sua face of mounting public resist-1 gestion that Franco himself might ance. retire, giving the country an op ., . . portunity to reach its own peace Needs Army Support ful soiution Dut holding himself Whoever is to rule in Spain ready to return to office in case must have the support of the army. Filling that requirement is Vice President Capt. Gen. Agus- tin Aiunoz Grandcs. the only man whose military rank equals Fran co's own. Another alternative is the coun cil of tiie realm, a council which would be composed of represen tatives of . labor, the Cath olic church,,- the universities and professional groups who would of need. Within Spain political groups like the Falangist party are barred and the right of assembly limited. Efficient police quickly subdue op position demonstrations.

This is the source of the infinite complexity of indi vidual behavior. Human civilization is something like that, being built up out of the complex interconnections of the in- Lumber Official Urges Approval Of Size Changes PORTLAND (UPI) -The presi dent of the West Coast Lumber men's Association Wednesday urged members to adopt recom mended changes in size and mois ture standards of dry lumber. Nils Hull said lumbermen face increasing efforts from other na tions to cut into lumber markets. A change recommended by the WCLA, he said, is tailored to meet new demands put on lum ber. The change would be from 58 inch thickness in dimension lumber to the American Lumber creasing millions- of people. But there are no built-in, natural connections between people. They have to communicate by "artifici al" means. Obviously, no individual can talk personally with everyone else. By means of radio and television, how ever, he can address an unlimited number at one time. Records and tapes add a time dimension to that ability. But only the printed word allows others to absorb a man's thoughts at their leisure and only through print can a man project his thoughts into the future, either near or distant, and fasten upon the minds of others. Just as the brain receives a con stant flood of information from the environment, so is human society being flooded with news, ideas, facts, developments and discos erics in the arts and sciences and every walk of life. The result is a worsening log jam in the channels of liuorma tion and a serious time lag before I he majority of men can absorb and understand these changes. It is as if that part of an indivi dual's brain which screens out all but essential information sudden ly stopped working, allowing sen On Tho Farm Front By GAYLORD P. GODWIN WASHINGTON (UPD-An Agri culture Department report on the 1962-63 pack of Florida frozen concentrated orange juice shows how a natural disaster can cut down a crop. The Florida orange crop for 196? 63 apparently was headed for a record, according to crop reports last fall. This would be both for fresh fruit consumption and for processing. Then, in December, a sharp freeze struck the citrus groves of the Florida peninsula. Here is how the department de scribed the efefcts of the freeze: "The 1962-63 pack of Florida frozen concentrated Orange Juice, completed about July 1, was ap proximately 51.6 million gallons, 55.5 per cent below the record 1961-62 pack of 116.1 million gal lons and the smallest pack in 10 years. The relatively light 1962 61) pack resulted from freeze da mage to the orange crop,' reduc ing not only the number of boxes produced but also the yield of juice per box." The department said tnc large reduction in the 1962-63 pack was partly offset by a substantial in crease in carryover stocks held by packers last fall. The department said that as a drastic cut in the pack became apparent after the December freeze, prices for frozen orange concentrate increased sharply at all levels of sale. Subsequent movement from packers into con sumption outlets slowed consider ably. Even so, slocks held by pack ers in early August were down to 33.7 million gallons. This was 49 per cent below the record stocks of a year earlier and 14 per cent below stock two years earlier. Commercial production of red meat during July was 2,356,000,- 00O pounds, up 6 per cent from a year earlier and 5 per cent above the Junes output. Meat production for the first seven months of 1963 totaled 16, 827,000,000 pounds, an increase of 4 per cent ffom the correspond ing period ot l'JbZ. Of the January July volume, 9.2 billion pounds were beef, up 6 per cent from a year earlier; 473 million were veal, down 10 per cent; 6.7 billion were pork, up 5 per cent; and 432 million pounds were lamb and mutton, down 6 per cent. Poultry meat production in July was 642 million pounds, ready-to-cook basis. This was 12 per cent greater than July, 1962, and 15 per cent above June, 1963. Working with him, however, is quite a team of experts in their own right among them Burke Marshall, John Doar and Joseph Dolan. Reporters who cover the civil rights beat in the South see them everywhere. In Oxford, the Justice Depart ment moved in with all flags fly ing. More than 500 U.S. marshals helped bring James H. Meredith, a Negro, to the campus of the University of Mississippi. Katzen bach and company were right in the line of fire and "Nick" for long hours served as a front line commander for his beleaguered orange-jacketed marshals. Tactics Change When the University of Ala- . bama desegregation came, the Justice Department tactics had changed perceptibly. The work was quiet, behind the scenes and thorough. On integration day, there were no marshals in sight only Katzenbach at the "college door" to meet Alabama Gov. George Wallace. Negro students were kept in the background until, after Wal lace's determined stand, the sig nal was given for federalized Nn- . tional Guardsmen. Birmingham produced an even more refined Justicu Department operation. Top local officials were briefed before it came off. The department apparently hud a big hand again behind the scenes in preparing a sweep ing injunction against Wallace that was concurred in by all five dis trict judges in the state. When the school bells rang in Birmingham, It didn't even take Uie National Guard to accomplish . the trick. President Kennedy on the recommendation of his broth er, Robert, the attorney general. hit the Alabama governor with a . cease and desist order and fed eralized the National Guard al most wilh the same stroke of the pen. Behind The Scones Katzenbach, operating between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, wuss nowhere to be seen when the his toric integration event took place. When huge and noisy demonstra tions occurred at one of tiie three . schools desegregated in Birming ham, Dolan was looking on. But the department never hit the panic button as might have happened a year ago. Police Chief Jamie Moore had given the department assurance ahead of time that his men could handle any normal amount of trou ble. Dolan, convinced he was do ing it, passed the word that local ., authority was at work doing its ' job. "The Justice Department diun t come lo Alabama to entorce in-., tegration but to enforce a federal court order," a department spokes man said. j, . .

Kennedy, Tito To Trade Views WASHINGTON (UPI) - The White House announced today that Yugoslav President Tito will meet here with President Kenne dy Oct. 17 for a "whole exchange of views." It will be Tito's first trip to Washington and his first meeting with Kennedy. Although the get-together was described as "informal," admin istration officials viewed the meeting as important because it 1 will give Kennedy a chance to gain first hand impressions of the Yugoslav leader.

Recently, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev went to Yugoslavia as Tito's guest. Tito has influential views on East-West issues ranging from Berlin, disarmament, nuclear testing, how the West should deal with tho Russians. He advocates that the major powers spend less on arms and more on aid to underdeveloped countries. It is 1 expected that all of these sub jects will be discussed by Kenne dy and his visitor. The Kennedy administration also hopes to give Tito an insight into U.S. policy and better ac quaint him with members of Congress.
