Should Salem Lose TV Channel?
Several yean ago the Federal Communica
tion! Commission, ending iti long freeze on
television licensing, allotted new channels to
Northwest points on the basis of population
' and geographical location. ' , '"-,
; Salem .was allotted three channels VHF 3
and UHF, 24 plus UHFJS as a separate ed
ucational facility. Subsequently UHF 68 also
was allocated this city. . .'
After considerable controversy the situa
tion boiled down to the point at which KSLM
wis to be" given a construction permit for
VHF 3 one of the mos desirable of all chan-,
Bels and the Lawrence Harvey of the Harv
ey Aluminium Company was allotted UHF
' Channel 24.
The Harvey application eventually went by
default, Harvey declaring the ground rules
(tax write-off and other factors) had been al
tered to a point where he did not think op
eration here .feasible. His option on a sta
tion site near1 Silverton expired.
The KSLM plan was hampered by (1) an
engineering opinion that a site already ac
' quired, In the Eola Hills was not entirely suit
able, and (2) a controversy as to whether a
new site chosen near Molalla was too close to
a similar channel allotted In the State of
Washington. . i
The latest development, on the basis of
Information from Washington, 0. C, and
from KPTV (Channel 27) In Portland, is that
here is move afoot whereby KSLM would 1
sell VHF Channel 3 to KPTV, reserving some
sort of a tie-in for programs originating in
Salem. The price apparently approximates
$27,000. -
The question la with .Salem growing as it
Is, and with Portland already well served by
TV should Channel 3 go by the boards (or
this area, leaving only the less desirable UHF
Channels 24 and M for possible future de
velopment? . , V
It would seem the FCC has more than mere .
legal aspects to consider.
the remaining one-third will be dropped next
year.
These extra charges were just the sur
charge for crossing a national boundary.
Hereafter the single through rate will apply,
which will reduce the cost of steel to the pur
chaser. It is reported that the loss of freight
revenues of railroads has in some cases been
compensated by an increase in volume of
traffic.
Thus economic unification is working for
the benefit of the whole community of West
ern Europe.
Reaching for the Farm Vote
Democratic strategy on the farm bill ap
: parently was to load the bill with features
? appealing to various farm groups wheat,
corn, cotton which many Republicans voted
' for, to satisfy local pressures. Then, if Eisen-
- bower vetoed the bill. Congress would let the
matter drop and roll the blame on Ike for
failing to provide farm-lief. The popular
- verdict, however, was one of approval of the
I . veto. So the Democrats have extracted the
soil bank features, as the President requested,
and the House has passed a bill which car
ried them.
To deprive Republicans of a chance to
spread a "gentle shower of checks" among
farmers who comply, before the (November
elections, the bill is shorn of authority to
I make an advance payment of 50 per cent as
Yt requested. In uooing price supoorts, how-
ever, the President Jhas assured farmers of
some additional benefits this year.
Very intc-estine, this iockeving for the
farm vote, though Republicans are under
some embarrassment in doing so, because of
their professed attachment to "sound prin
ciples" of economics.
Award to Junior Women's Ouh
Congratulations to the Salem Junior Wom
en's club which won the sweepstakes award
of the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs.
Announcement was made at the state con
vention In Portland Thursday. The Salem
group also placed first among clubs with over
75 members. The project which' gained for.
them this distinction their continuing' ef
fort to furnish playgrounds in Salem with
equipment for children's recreation. The Jun
ior Women have been working on this for
several years and have made great progress,
enlisting the aid of many other organizations.
Their last effort was to equip the playground ,
at Rush's Pasture. ? " ".'
Having encouraged the Salem women in
their program -The Statesman Is. pleased to
have them get this fine recognition.
Schumann Plan Brings Progress
While progress In political unification of
Europe has been (low, economic unification
in Western' Europe Is proceeding at a steady
If not rapid rate. This is effected through
the European Outl and 'Steel Community

mulgated by Robert Schumann, when he was
French Premier. As of May 1st this year no
additional freight rates are charged on trans

Rfvisioninni Cornea to U.S. Reds
U. S. Communists have gotten around to
revising their partv line, reflecting aain
their connection with headquarters in Mos
cow. Indulging in now fashionable self-criticism,
they discover they have erred in three
respects: they guessed wrong on the immi
nence of war; thev underestimated the "deeo
democratic tradition'" amont the neonle and
their willingness to defend the bill of riihts
(what respect do Reds have for "rights"
when thev are in power?); and they overes
timated the imminence of a business depres
sion. ' They probably will go along with Moscow
in trying to promote another "nopular front"
but so fir they haven't aped the Ormiunist

Editorial Comment
MARK CLARK A HARD LOSER
Gen. Mark " OH Limits' Clark has stirred up
a (urn affiled long ago by stating in a weekend
' speech that he still opposed to integration of blacks
- and white in h military services.
, : The military ftught its desegregation battle over
a period of about six years and settled it In 1951
by abolishing segregated units.
Clark, commander in Jtalv and Korea and pres
ently president of a southern military college,
tirred it aO up again by saying he was outvoted
and recalling that a colored infantry unit he
commanded bolted from the enemy during World
War II. '
It isn't particularly pleasant to recall that Some
all-white units also boiled. And we remember,
with mixed feelings, that in the war of the 40 s, a
white MP group was unable to handle an all-white
camp area and one of Clark's subordinates ordered
in a Negro MP battalion to do the job. The Negroes
succeeded despite the fact that they bad to deal
exclusively with whites and through white adminis
trative and legal channels.
European vets also will also remember that the
system became mixed in the more critical periods
of the war and the result, generally happy, was
actual Integration.
Too, there have been no serious major incidents
since the 1961 military ruling.
Clark, who showed his ability to handle men by
restricting them from every cafe between Palermo
and Paris, is a voice crying in the southern wilder
ness, i Albany Democrat-Herald.
Well, here we are in May. The month when most people
wish those flower-growing showers which start in April
would finally let up. May is famous for queens, hayfever,
poison oak, lilacs and as a time when wives
begin knocking the family budget for sum
mer cloth.es. in the old days girls made
May baskets and the lads chased them
around the meadows trying to capture the
queen. They used to call that Maying Now
they call it social adjustment. May is also

told dancing around the May pole in those skimpy togas. May
has leaded her name to lots of things like May-dance, May
fly, May-day, Mayflower and May-apples. Few wholars be
lieve, however, that mayhem and mayonnaise have anything
to do wild May. And the roots of May-apples, by the way, are
poisonous..
Historically speaking May is rather a racy month, too. The
first telephone switchboard was put into operation, for in
stance. May 17, 1877. Regular air mail service was begun
May 15, 1918. Harry S. Truman was born May 8. 1884 and
Napoleon died May 5, 1821. The first flight over the north
pole was made May 9. 1926. and the first non-stop transconti
nental flight was made May 2. 1923 May West, by the way,
was not born in May, but Rhode Island DID enter the union
in May, 1790.
Mother's Day falls on May 13 this year. It romes between
Florence Nightingale's birthday and the day the I'. S. Con
stitution was drawn up and there's probably a moral there
someplace. The thing for mothers to remember about May is
this: The calendar page for May carries ads for both nose
drops and sunjaurn lotion. Husbands should be made aware of
the fact that while the May fly is the name of a famous angling
lure, there are some wives who think the best May-pole is an
upright spade handle . . .
- During the first half of this month the sun is in the sign
of Taurus, the Bull. Which is probably one reason why pri
mary elections are held this month. Taurus people make
great leaders. They are usually to be found leading the way
to trout streams on election day . . . During the last half of
the month the sun. is in he sign of Gemini, the Twins. Gem
ini people are courteous, affectionate, tall and stand out well
at May Day brawls. Another puzzler concerning May is this:
Lots of girls born during May are named June and Gertrude
but hardly any boys . . .

The President was told how, ia

Ice rivalries and the multiplicity

These are, in paraphrase, pre
cisely the same questions which
the President asked the assembled
moguls of his administration at
Camp David, after he had been
briefed on the missiles crisis by
Gardner and Robertson. The ques
tions remain unanswered a
point which Gardner, when he
wrote the article, undoubtedly
hoped would strike the President.

The Queries memorandum took
the line that the Soviet achieve

cisively important .in view of the
continuing superiority of the Uni
ted States in the air-atomic field.
The memorandum recommended
progress in the missile field with
"all practicable" speed.
The President revised the memo
randum with his own hand, under
lining the decisive importance of
the Soviet achievement, changing
"all practicable" to "all possible."
and assigning top priority to mis
sile development. Again, at the
Camp David meeting, as the ques
tions paraphrased by Gardner sug
gest, the President made it abund
antly dear that he was deeply
disturbed by our relative lack of
progress in the missile field. He
said that he was determined to
get someone to mn the missiles
program the way it oilfcht to be
run. even if he had to do the job
himself.

Gardner asks the same ques

ing that the built-in resistance, in
the vast bureaucracy of . the de

drastic change in th organization
of our missile effort has so far
proved too strong for the Presi
dent to buck snout aa disturb

to imagine.

To the Editor:
While agreeing that flonrida
tinn of our water probably won't
be harmlul. yet I feel that wc
don't have the moral right to
force ihis" measure town the
throats of the opposition, except
by an overwhelming majority.
If we are to believe the ex
perts, drinking properly fluori
dated water is not at potentially
harmfull aa smoking cigarettes.
The key diflcrencr is the smok'T
does so by his own choice. To
force smoking on a non-smoker
is no more an invasion of his
rights than to force fluoride upon
one who seriously and honestly
objects. There is a large seg
ment of our poulalion that does
honestly object.
Those who want flnuride can
obtain it without prescription at'
local drug stares. Then there arc
several tooth pastes now made
with fluoride. Also significant is
the assurance that proper diet
and immediate oral cleansing alt
er eating will largely eliminate
tooth decay for adults as well as
children.
Why then Is it so critical that
water must be treated? Iluw
about fluoriduted salt, or sugar,
since sugar in the diet is resjwn
sible for so much dental cants.'
There are so many ways to
utilize the benefits of this chemi
cal without antagonizing about
half of the population.
I believe the measure as offer
ed at the election should carry
tht provision that a three to
one vole will be necessary In

Statesman Correspondent
WASHINGTON Itesidents of
the nation's capilol had a taste
this past Week of what it would
be like to enjoy self-government
as they trooped to the polls for
the first time in
'JfrnliXZ 82 years.
M tint it wAt no
more than a
taste, for the
ballots had only
party offices

arc worse off than any other
Americans when it comes to the
right of self-determination They
are even worse off than people in
Alaska and Hawaii, where at least
local officials are elected
, .
The capital city has no elected
puK'ir officials, not even a mayor
or city council or school board,
much less representation in Con
gress. Nor ran residents of Wash
ington vote for president, the onr
right every voter seems to priie
most highly.
When the polls were thrown
open last Tuesday, virtually ev
eryone who had registered
showed up to cast a vote The
spirit of people who crave the
ncht to vote was exemplified by
the man who hired an ambulance
to take him from his hospital bed
to the polling place in his home
precinct; by the 95year-old gent
who trudged many blin ks through
the mid-day sun tn mark, his
ballot: by a blind woman who was
escorted by a trusted friend, who
marked her ballot which she then
sinned
At one time Washington was
on a par with Alaska and Hawaii.
It had a governor appointed by
the president and a non-voting
delegate in Congress elected by
the local residents-the same set
up that the territories now have.
In addition, however, the pres
ident then appointed a city coun
cil and the people elected a 22
man House of Representatives.
This curious political arrange
ment lasted only from 1871 to
1874. when Congress junked self
government for Washinqton and
put in the present system hy
which the city is run by three
commissioners appointed by the
president

reduced the measure of self de
termination in the capital, it has
increased the lax load.
Not only do citizens here pay
the same federal income taxes
levied on all Americans, hut they
pay a district income tax and a
two per cent sales tax In short,
the tax load on residents here n
a g md bit heavier than it is in
many slates where citizens have
full voting rights.
Only Congress ran change th1'
condition, hut home rule bills
over the years have run into some
of the same roadblocks that have
stopped statehood from bring
granted to Alaska and Hawaii.
Biggest obstacle it the attitude of
the typical Dixieerat member of
Congress.
With a fairly high Negro pup
ulation, Washington would likely
rlect some Negro officials under
home rule, probably to the school
board or city council Dixiecrats

part fell apart. The' Northern
segment nominated Douglas for
President and the Southerners
John C Breckenridge of Kcbt
lucky for President and Joe
Lane of Oregon for Vice Presi
dent. The Oregon Democrats
split also
The lately born Republican
party in Oregon, true to the tra
dition of the frontier, and jeal
ous of local rights (Oregon's
territorial motto was "She flies 1
with her own wings"), endorsed
popular sovereignty too. It was1
an easy matter then for the Re
publicans to join with Douglas

in 18(i0 for reelection as U. S. 1
Senator. James Nesmith. Demo
crat, was elected for the long
term, and Edward D. Baker,
former friend of Lincoln's in
Illinois, Republican, for the
short term.
Johannsen's book gives in de
tail the attitude of Oregonians
tn the slavery and Negro ques
tion, oth the Provisional Gov
ernment and the Territorial gov
ernment banned Negro slavery, 1
and the voters rejected it when
they adopted the state consti
tution They also prohibited
frer Negros from coming into
Oregon. They just didn'twant
to have anything to do with
slavery or with Negroes either.
The lineup was rather interesting-
Matthew Deady, eminent
lawyer of the Territory, lined
up with Lai.e' though he seems

legalistic view that a Negro
slave was property like a horse

Scott stuff1. Jesse Applcgate was
against slavery, but the most
eloquent opponent of the insti
tution was George II Williams,
lawyer and orator. He based his
opposition, on economic rather
than moral grounds slavery just
wouldn't thrive in the Oregon
country.
The reader has in thi book a
professional study of a crisis
period m Oregon history As a
refill of the Democratic split in
Oregon and as a consequence of
Democratic eclipse after the Civil
War political control shifted to
Republicans who have retained
it quite consistently ever since.
