Negroes soiuelim es a ie victim s of e x trem ely poor advice. W e th in k a case in point is th e recent hassle over alleged racism in th e U niversity of W ashington a th le tic d epartm ent. A group of Negro a th le te s met w ith U niversity Pres. C harles O degaard and F ootball Coach A thletic D irector Jim Dwens and presented a list of "dem ands." One was for dism issal of a team tra in e r. But o th e rs were for such th in g s as a voice in selection of coaches and. if you can believe it. th e rig h t to have a com m ittee meet w ith coaches w hen a Negro a th le te was dem oted to second strin g . No self-res|»ecting coach would stay 10 m in u tes under an a rra n g e m e n t like th at. W hat the Negroes really are a sk in g for is discrim in atio n . . . in th e ir favor. O therw ise, why couldn’t M arc h 21, 1»6B th e M ethodists on th e squad form th e ir own com m ittee, o r those who had red h a ir and fre c k le s’ T he argum ent of the Negro a th le te s is th at they were being d iscrim inated ag ain st. But as OSU's Dee A ndros so ap tly pointed out, “ No coach is going to recruit a good football player and then leave him on th e bench; not when his job depends on w inning or losing." T he dissension a t W ashington seem s to have been stirre d by th e sam e Negro m ilitan t who was so ac tive in prom oting th e "boycott" by N egroes of th e U S. Olym pic team . His advice seem s p a rticu larly bad for sp o rts is the one a re a in w hich the Negro has been in every sense an equal. U nfortunately, th e end result c a n not be o th er th en few er sch o larsh ip s for deserving Negro ath letes. T his is a high price to pay for poor advice. Ross Morgan Bows Out T he high cost of cam paigning caught up w ith Ross M organ in his bid for the Secretary of S ta te 's job. But it c a n ’t be all bad for the per sonable G resham ite. We re sure th a t as long as he lives h e’ll rem em ber th e recent testim o n ial d in n er at the G resham Elks. O ver 200 friends— plus a passel of relativ es— g ath ered there th a t eve ning to pay hom age to Ross. It was a trib u te of the kind not m any of us are privileged to receive. T he home folks— the people who know him best — w ere out alm ost en m asse. M organ d id n ’t reveal any of the facto rs which caused him to bow out of th e ’08 race but m oney obviously w as th e big one. W hen he first en- tered. he had prom ises of support . . prom ises w hich just d id n ’t m a te ria l ize. R a th e r th a n get in to an ill-financed cam paign. Ross felt it b e tte r to w ith draw . His prim ary o p p o n e n t—D istrict Atty. George Van H oom issen—had a m uch-m ore am ply-stocked w ar chest plus the ready-m ade publicity a p p a ra tu s im plicit in his job. T he sam e can be said for the tw o R epublican a s p ira n ts —Clay M yers and M onte M ontgom ery. T here is th e obvious consolation th a t Ross still has tw o m ore years to go on his Senate term . Even though he m ay feel a m om entary reg re t now . we hope th a t h e ’ll decide in 1970 to rem ain in politics. We need m ore like him. The President, The People and Viet-Nam Very obviously. Lyndon B. Johnson is ru n n in g th e show as fa r as U.S. involvem ent in Viet-Nam is con cerned. Very obviously, he intends to pursue his present " h a rd line" ever h a rd e r in the m onths ahead. But just as obviously, Lyndon B. Jo h n so n is out of to u ch —badly out of touch— with his fellow countrym en. C olum nist Max L ern er expresed it th is way last week in th e Los Angeles Tim es: "U nquestionably th ere is a tidal wave of feeling against th e w ar ro ll ing over th e nation. It is no longer restricted to college cam puses and a f fluent suburbs and enclaves of in te l lectuals in th e cities. It is invading w orking-class d istricts and sm all tow ns, and both th e blue-collar and w hite-collar populations.” T ake, for instance, th e election in New H am pshire. It can only be count ed a stu n n in g repudiation of J o h n son's w ar policies. T ake Bobby K ennedy’s e n tra n ce into th e presidential race. Probably th e re were a num ber of reasons. But one of the most decisive was a private K ennedy poll which showed Jo h n - Jones Candidate For Former Post $3 50 $2 50 In United States Servicemen and Women sou's Dopularity plum m eting every w here because of th e w ar. K ennedy reportedly felt if he did not e n te r th e race and offer som e hope of e n d ing the w ar. a R epublican victory was inevitable. T ake w hat th e people a re saying. \\'e w ent on a C alifo rn ia vacation last week w ondering if th e opposition we expressed and felt h ere would be a s ap p a re n t there. It is. Only m ore so. People everyw here a re saying w hat they th in k ; a tidal w ave of re se n t m ent is grow ing. Pres. J o h n s o n ’s only response th u s far has been a few quips, a decision to escalate th e w ar fu rth e r, and rin g ing d eclaratio n s like th is: "T he people will not tu rn th e ir backs on th e ir leaders in a tim e of n a tio n a l c risis.” No they w on’t Mr. Jo h n so n , as long as th e ir leaders a re leading. But no longer are we g e ttin g lea d e rsh ip from W ashingon. W e’re g e ttin g blind obe- siance to a b a n k ru p t policy. Pres. Jo h n so n is not one to accept criticism of his policies. But he will have to listen to th e ballo t box. O re g o n ’s tu rn will com e soon.

Our last Legislature created an agency for the control of air and water pol lution. Industry and individuals have been asked to comply with rules and regulations to clean up our rivers and our air. To do this, m illions of dollars will be spent. Why throw all this away because one group of peo ple can’ t see any farther than today? I live on Sunnyside Road in Clackamas County, and am in the ML Scott Water D istrict who in turn purchases our water from the Clackamas Water D istrict who in turn draws water that we all drink, from the Clackamas River. Therefore, I contend thatevery- one in Clackamas County should be concerned about all rivers in our county and should have a voice in their control and use. No one group should have the right to destroy or weaken zoning of these rivers. Each year our population grows rapidly and with this out water supply will d ecrea se. Now is the time to protect it. If we are thinking towards the future, we don’t want to be in a position like many people on the East coast, where sew age is discharged into a river and 500 feet below, water 1s drawn off, run through a strainer and used for human consumption. Surely we should learn som e thing from mistakes made by others.

Such naive ignorance of the problem Is astounding In a man who Is a candidate for Attorney General. Don’t they have to have some qualifications in order to run for such a jobz/ run for such a Job? Heaven help our communities if a man like that gets into office. 1 don’t know Bob Thornton but at tim es like this I’m thank ful we have a level-headed man like him as our Attorney Gen- eral. Sincerely Ralph M. Tassle Patrolman, Hermiston, Oregon To the Editor: We would like to thank the Volunteers of the Sandy Rural Fire Protection District for their quick response to our call for help with our fire on March 7. They did an excellent job and are a group the people of Sandy and surrounding areas can be very proiri of. We, and the other residents of Mar Vista Tract, are very thankful we have such good service available to us.
