The' Boris Pasternak affair affords the world another
stirring example of the traps that a totalitarian com
munism must inevitably build for itself and fall into.
, Under severe pressure from many sources in the
Soviet' Union, Pasternak turned down the Nobel prize
for .literature recently awarded 'him for his novel,
"Doctor Zhivago," a work sharply critical of communism.
The Kremlin , and its toadies took the award as a
brash affront to Russia. It greatly fears any encourage
ment, either from outside or within the Sovet Union,
for writers who may dare to depart from the established
line that all is wonderful and serene in that vast country.
But', the abuse and heat applied to Pasternak only serve
to: shout to. the world how crushing to the human spirit
it is to live in a 'Communist slave society.
, He'.lias been labeled a traitor. The unions of writers
and translators have thrown him out. Probably he will
never again have a word published jn Russia. (The book
In question was published only beyond Soviet borders.)
The. prospect was strong he. might be evicted from his
home and left with ho place to live.
."Y'Oung Communist critics have called for his de
parture from Russia to his "capitalist paradise." This
would make it easier for1 Russian leaders embarrassed
by : his . criticisms. Tliey could then portray him as a
mail who had abandoned his country for the "bourgeois"'
enemy. "'..':' ,
' .Small .wonder' that Pasternak yielded before this
weight and refused the prize. But it will not be lost on
the.,-world that: ho one in literature ever before has
rejected this honor, nor that Nazi Germany, arrogantly
speaking -for two German winners in 1935 and 1939,
was .the :, last to spurn any Nobel award before this.
What the Pasternak case may dramatically demon
strate for millions still oddly entranced by the Russian
myth. is this: The capitalist world outside the Communist
orbit may not be "paradise." But men are free to say
that ''it is not. And they are free,: too, to observe that
life outside is far, far better than it is within Khrush
chev's pastures:
Too Good To Be True ; ; .'-T'
! Somebody with a wry sense of humor has suggested
that former President Harry S. Truman and Vice Presi
'dent. Richard M. Nixon should entertain the National
Press Club in Washington with a piano duet. But Mr.
Truman already has nixed the idea.
An intriguing thought, though. The turnout probably
would have rivaled the occasion when Mr.- Truman, as
vice president, played at the club while actress Lauren
. Bacall' sat atop the piano. When word of that reached
wife Bess, it was almost his last recital.
, But to have these two wide-swinging politicians side
by side on a piano bench would have been something.
What would they have played?- "The Missouri Waltz"
or "California Here I Come" ? Possibly they could only
have agreed on a neutral but lively "Chopsticks."
Tlie 1958-59 concert season will he the duller for lack
of this one. .

What do they mean "smart money?" The dollar to
day doesn't have enough cents to buy much of anything.
Staying young is a fine habit, girls and rather an
old one, too! ,
Some people never seem to get sick at least they
don't brag about it.
If you're not satisfied witli what you have, you prob
ably wouldn't be .with what you wish you had.

Heavy Space Traffic Predicted
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPIt
The time is coming, a scientist
said Wednesday, when space traffic
will be so heavy that it will be
necessary to have fleets of rocket-
powered tow trucks ready to dash
to the rescue of astronauts in
trouble between here and the
planets.
As Dr. Norman V. Peterson of
Lockheed Aircraft Corp. put it.
there will be "eventual need for
rescue and retrieve vehicles to
perform emergency missions, as
suring crew survival from mal
functioning or isolated satellite
and space vehicles."
So far man has been unable to
blast even a few pounds of inan
imate matter as far as the moon,
a next-door neighbor only about
238,000 miles away. But 'that fact
hasn't prevented Petersen and
other space experts from looking
ahead to the hazards of interplan
etary travel.
They presented their ideas, com
plete with graphs and complica
ted equations, on how to make
space reasonably safe, at the sec
ond International Symposium on
Space Physics and Medicine be
ing concluded here Wednesday.
Col. Paul A. Campbell of the
Air Force began the session on
"rescue in space" with the declar
ation that, this being an ethical
democracy, "a man or a crew or
an expedition will not be sent in
to space by our nation until there
Official Says Tokyo Fishing
Confab Disappointing To U.S.
TOKYO (UPH Edward Allen
newly elected chairman of the
International North Pacific Fish
eries Commission, says that fail
ure of the Tokyo conference to
amend the dividing fishing line
will disappoint American fisher
men. The Canada. - United States
Japan fisheries conference, which
adjourned here Tuesday, failed to
revise rfjthe provisional dividing
line between Japanese salmon
fishing operations and those of
Canada and the United Stales as
demanded by the United States.
The provisional line was rati
fied' by the thre'e countries in 1953
and restricts Japanese fishermen
from operating east of the merid
ian of 175 degrees west longitude.
The U.S. has proposed shifting
the line westward toward Japan

La Grande, Orcgoq
Dear Editor:
All patrons of the La Grande
School District Number One and
One-A should be vitally interested
in the meeting to be held at the
La Grande Senior High School,
November 14 at 7:30 P.M. to discuss-
reorganization plans which
have been prepared by the County
reorganization Committe. The fu
ture of the La Grande Public
Schools and the amount of your
school taxes will be effected by
school district reorganization.
La Grande citizens will have the
opportunity Friday night to express
themselves on these issues:
1. Do we jish to continue the
present organization of the La
Grande Public Schools? .
'. Z.':rDo" we" wisfi to become' a part
of a County School District with
tbe control of the schools in the
hands of a Union County Board?
3. Do we wish to enlarge the
La Grande district to include the
third class districts immediately
adjacent to La Grande?
It is imperative that people of
the La Grande School District at
tend the meeting Friday night.
Very truly yours, -
J. Dale Standley, Chairman
La Grande School District
Number One

Allen said t:ie American fisher
men will be disappointed to learn
that their demand was not met
But, he said, there was no
feeling of billerness" anion? the
delegates during the Tok" ses
sion. ?
Allen explained that the U.S
demand for shift-in the li.ic was
based on results of an American
scientific survey.
These results showed that a
number of Alaska-spawned red
salmon were being caught by Jap
anese fishermen operating be
tween the two lines.
The Seattle lawyer said there
was genuine fear in the U.S.-that
if the Japanese continue catching
red salmon in North Pacific wat
ers at the current rate the stock
of the fish eventually would be
depleted.
He said, he believed therefore
the 'U.S. demand to protect the
red salmon stock by moving the
restriction westward was justi
fied. He said he expects the U.S. will
push the demand for revision' of
the line at the next annual con
ference on Nov. 2 next year.
is a reasonable chance of a safe
journey and of safe recovery in
case of accident."
Alfred. M. Mayo, chief safety
research engineer of the Douglas
Aircraft Co., developed the theme
with the statement that "the space
traveler who fails to survive the
journey can not realize adequate
ly his desire for adventure an
kndowlcdge."
All agreed that, though space
definitely is "hostile," something
can be done to improve man's
chances of living to tell the tale
of his travels out there.
As Mayo reported, "It appears
that survival odds can be raised
to acceptalbe values."
Petersen probed deeply into the
possible misadventures astronauts
might get into in space, and into
the mathematical possibilities of
redeeming them.
Rescuing a stalled spacecraft
isn't like sending a tow truck to
13th and Vine to pull a car that
has run out of gas. You have to
figure such things as orbits, velo
cities, trajectories, and such.
In space matters you can de
pend upon one fundamental equa
tion: A tiny error at the
