Some W ry Poor Advice
In th e ir stru g g le for equal rig h ts.
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

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

Pres. J o h n s o n ’s only response th u s

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

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-

Zoning Upheld
The Editor
Sandy Post
Sandy, Oregon
Dear Sir:
It ts my personal belief that
any relaxation of zoning along
our rivers would be a step back
wards. 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.

some qualifications in order to
run for such a jobz/

help our communities if a man

He said he believes tn the
necessity of "Government with
the consent uf the Governed,”
aid that County business should
be transacted only with the
support of a wide majority of
the County’ s population.
He
also promised a strict watch
on spending to guarantee “ low
cost, but effective County Gov-
ernmenL”
On planning, a topic of major
discussion over the past two
years, Jones promised to work
diligently for the benefit of the
entire county.
"1 think we need to make a
definite distinction between ur
ban and rural needs,” Jones
said, "and we mast be abso
lutely certain that no County
department or Official will be
arbitrary or ‘High-Handed’ In
dealings with Citizens of the
County. Our County Government
needs to be attuned to the needs
and w ish esofou rcltlzen s,w h ile

tion centers
and the
