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.

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.

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.

I'll bet everybody thinks of the

The President thinks married

without having to go to war.
More from Washington:
President Kennedy said the U. S.

Nam and risks criticism, whichev
er way it turns, He implied in a
radio-TV interview that if we stay
we'll have to fight. . . .and pay. . .
and if we run we'll be called a
quitter. He added: "It is true the
U. S. government occasionally gets
locked into a policy and finds it
difficult to shift gears."
He is undoubtedly right.
And. in, this particular case he
inherited the situation and didn't
create It. .
But, for heaven's sake, let's be
cautious about getting into any
more messes like that.

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

PORTLAND (UPI) -The presi

urged members to adopt recom

Nils Hull said lumbermen face
increasing efforts from other na

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

Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, wuss
nowhere to be seen when the his

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.

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. Tito, although a
Communist, plays a significant
role within the neutral bloc in
most East-West issues.
To Tour Amoricat
Tito will visit Washington fol
lowing a Latin American tour. It
will be his only trip to the West
ern IlemisDhcre execot for a visit
'to the United Nations in 1960,
when he met with then President
Dwight D. Eisenhower. 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.
