School Suggestion From 'Down Under7 Along with the other ideas on ways to change public school education in the U. S., let's throw in one from "Down Under." A visitor from New Zealand to Salem last week told us that in his country when chik dren reach the age of five they are enrolled in school. They do not wait until the fol lowing autumn, they start the day after their birthday. . During the first two or three years of school, children are not permanently classed according to grade as we attempt to do. They are given this period to seek their own level. Of course, this creates an additional problem for the first teachers, with new students en tering intermittently. But just ask a U. S. first grade teacher with four reading groups, each on a different level, whether the situa tion could be much worse. At the end of the second or third year, students are placed in a grade. This gives time for both student and teacher to find the student's proper level before he is "tagged." There is mounting pressure in this coun try to class children in school according to their ability instead of arbitrary chronologic al age. The New Zealand system offers a fresh approach. The Question' And Humanity A newspaper article by the novelist Emile Zola, "J'accuse" brought him to trial for libel and conviction to imprisonment a sentence which he never served; but it stirred France over the injustices in the Dreyfus case and led finally to the exoneration of Major Drey fus and his restoration to rank in the French Army. Such an effect on public opinion prob ' ably moved Henri AUeg to write "The Ques tion." It exposes the cruelties practiced by the French in their efforts to suppress the Algerian rebellion. -v AUeg is a Communist who went under-, ground in Algeria. Caught by the French paratroopers he was subjected to tortures by electric shock, fire, water and beatings as they sought to make him reveal who had protected him. That was "the question" which he steadfastly refused to answer. The book has been banned in France but has found an American publisher. Others have testified to the. sadistic pun ishment meted out to Algerian rebels. They have drawn the reply that iW has been neces sary to fight fire with ire; and it is true tjjat the rebels have shown no quarter to French men whom they want to extirpate from their native land. Of. General Jacques Massu, commander of the paratroopers, it is said that he required Presidents Attempt to Collect Pro-Adams Statements fails (Editor Note: While Joseph Alios report from Lebanon, Rowland Evans Jr. covers the Washington base.) ' By ROWLAND EVANS JR. WASHINGTON Sherman Adams still insists that those telephone calls for Mr. Goldfine were "strictly routine." He is now learning that there is nothing at all routine about the chasm he has opened in the Republican party. A serious effort is now under discussion in high Republican Congressional circles to convince Adams that he must resign his job in the White House to pre-' vent this split from widening. - The tentative shape of the ef fort is to bring about a face-to-face talk with the President's assistant. Hie purpose of the in terview, as now being planned, is to confront Adams with damag ing evidence of what his con tinuance in the White House may mean for his party. Back of thia planning lie two significant events, just beneath the surface of the frantic publle actions on the Adams-Goldflne case. First; It Is a fact that aa ef. fort by the White House to organ ize a Congressional drum-fire of pro-Adams statements fell flat. This strategy was to have pro duced a series of expressions from Important Republicans on ' Tuesday applauding Adams' vol untary testlniony before the Har. lis subcommittee. Despite the fact that Adams' performance before the Harris subcommittee was little short of heroic, given the circumstances, his testimony left virtually all the Republicans Who have to face the voters four months from now as cold as a beached mackerel.' And so the two persuasive White House agents who were turned loose in Congress Tuesday after ooa to solicit pro-Adams com ment came back all but empty handed. Second, the theme of indispens bility sounded by the President em Wednesday has angered some and offended a good many other thoughtful Republicans in the Capitol. They resent any inference that a non-elected official ij the indispensable man. The President's poigant cry on Wednesday "I need him" carried a ring of truth. It barken ed back to Woodrow Wilson, who once said of Col. House: "Mr. House is my second personality. He is my independent self. His thoughts and mine are one . . ." But the Republicans in Con gress are far too worried about the weighty campaign burdens with which they are already , saddled to worry about a White House without Mr. Adams in it. If Adams is retained by the President, the Republicans fear their burden will become almost unbearable. The Democrats will not only gloat over the Waldorf Astoria and the vicuna coat. They will also claim that Mr. Eisen hower has made avirtual acknowl edgement that he cannot run the government without Adams. They will shout that despite Adams' "pious preaching" about personal . ethics in government, the Pres- Went has set up a double-standard of morality to keep him in tha With all this. It is no wonder that' the Republicans are split the President en one side, appar ently having decided to retain his second personality, and all Republican candidates for elec tion this fall and their supporters the other. There Is, finally, one other ab rasive element of friction. Dur ing the last four and a half years, Adams has made enemies, per haps unavoidably. There is, for example, . one Republican mem ber of Congress who has not spoken to Adams for three years because of a slight, real or fan cied, involving a member of the Congressman's family. There is another Republican whose failure to win re-election to the Senate in 1954 is laid to Adams' refusal to make any concessions on the public power issue. ' These examples can be maltl piled almost without end. It Is is tree, paradoxically, that tha his men to suffer similar tortures-cither to condition them to their task or to test the limits of human endurance. But such cruel ties are out of place in a civilized world and , certainly out of character for the French. The paratroopers have been guilty of the same offenses against humanity as the Nazis, ' and the excuse of retaliation is not sufficient justification. In such a soil of hatred and revenge the seedlings of peace can find scant rooting Small wonder then that the Arab rebels re fuse to accept any settlement short of inde pendence, that the French colons, fearful of what would happen if they are a one to nine minority in power, demand .smashing the re bellion, and that the paratroopers, embit tered by indecisiveness of the Paris govern ment, moved to end the multi-party system that made France impotent. "The Question" which Henri Alleg did not answer thus expands into a wider and even more terrifying question: How can a settle ment be made in Algeria? And even farther: ' Can humanity learn to live together without resort to systems of torture which rival or surpass the cruelties of uncivilized tribes? Thus on wider" canvas the critique of v "J'ac cuse" is sketched in "The Question." New 'Little Rock' On the Horizon Harry Ashmore, executive editor of the Little Rock, Ark., Gazette, when battling the pro-segregationist opponents of federal law - in his area, saved a few of his barbs for the nation's newspapermen. His chief complaint was that the news papers of the North failed to lay the ground work for the Little Rock story in the months preceding it. He said the background stories as to the real, underlying reasons for the racial explosion were either ignored or buried. It would be easy to reply to Mr. Ashmore with the question, "How well do the South ern newspapers background stories of crit ical importance in other regions in the U. S.?" But this would not be a positive approach. So we accept Mr. Ashmore's challenge. If we failed to foresee the Little Rock crisis last year, at least there is no reason to make the same mistake agan this year. A federal judge has accepted the recom mendations qf the Little Rock schoolboard that racial integration be postponed until 1961 (when Gov. Faubus is expected to be out of office). That may ease the local situation; but other Little Rocks are building up else where in the South.. Federal troops enforced the Supreme Court's edict, but that is not 1 the answer to opposition to integration. The same antagonisms are present now that boiled over last fall. The fact that fed eral troops were summoned at Little Rock may alter the tactics of those who would keep school segregation at the price of law lessness. But during the school year the actions of the pro-segregationists forced the Little Rock school administrators to admit the hopeless ness of their situation in trying to maintain integration. This partial success will goad others who would subvert the law. Gov. Faubus of Arkansas counts the entire episode as a political gain. It is a sad commentary that apparently we have no better solution for the crisis this year than we had last. Eisenhower Republicans don't like Adams because he has tend ed to exclude them from the White House, working scrupulous ly with the 'conservative leader ship of Congress. The old guard conservatives, oa the other hand, doa't like him because he Is aa Elsenhower Republican. It is no wonder, then, that It would take a foolish gambler to give odds today that Adams will retain his job. The far safer odds are that his continuance in office will hurt the party and leave last ing scars. (Copyright IBM. New York Herald Tribune, Ino.)

To the Editor: We like your "Seems to Me" column or we would not always read it. But it seems to me you have wasted words and phrases, first June 18th, then again June 21st trying to white wash Mr. Sherman Adams. But you will have to admit the stain is still there. While you call it an error in judgment rather than in mor als in accepting paid hotel bills and gifts, and you say he has been almost indispensible to the . President, that I can not swal low. No man is indispensible. While you could not resist tell ing again about the mink coats ' and deep freezes, that is all the more reason why Mr. Adams should have refused the gifts, for he had the benefit of others' mistakes to judge by. But we are agreed none should let themselves be compromised with gifts." But man is weak in the flesh. . . - J. E. Cteyd. . MMS 8. VUk St Both Social Structure, Politics n East, West US. Far Different Editor's aote: Statesman News Editor J. Wesley Sulli van has Just returned from 10 months in the East as a Nie man Fellow at Harvard Uni versity. In this, the first of three articles, he compares Oregon with the East Coast. In the following two he will compare Oregon with the Deep South and with other states la Western U. S. - . By J. WESLEY SULLIVAN News Editor, The Statesman After living for a year in the East, a Salem resident grows two strong convictions. First, confirmation of his belief ' that Salem is one of the finest places in the nation in which to live. And secondly, a determination to keep Oregon politically alert so that the problems of the East do not become our own. In comparing the4 East Coast with Oregon one cannot help but be impressed by the differences in social structure. The East does not duplicate our free and easy virtual classlessness. The class spectrum widens the fur ther East one travels. In the metropolitan East, there is an intellectually influential elite on one end of the social scale and a politically powerful mass of persons on the other end whose living standards are mini mal. In many of the big citie3, . like Boston, the middle classes, unable to control the political sit uation in the big city, are mov ing to the surrounding suburbs where they can dictate their lo cal politics. This has two disadvantages. First, it drains the big city of much of its leadership leaving the political machines even more solidly entrenched. Secondly, it creates 'a series of autonomous political areas around the big city which tend to strangle the big city's ever more feeble ef forts at area-wide development and solution of mutual problems. Faced with a question of city annexation. Western voters should look east to see the prob lems created when orderly city development is not allowed. Oregon should be proud of its lack of corruption in municipal politics a situation almost in comprehensible to cynical East-, erners. Municipal politics are' often run by cliques in the West, but there hasn't been the devel opment of generations of muhici- ( pal careerists, following family ' racial and religious lines in breeding until it becomes vir tually impossible for a true re form candidate to cut away tha tangled web. It is 'no accident that Boston has twice as many policemen per capita as any other major metropolis.. Growing population has brought a growjh of munici pal jobs. Oregon cannot pat itself on the back too strongly for the advan- tages we enjoy. We have not had the handicap of a long .history which becomes hard to erase or modify when the time for change arrives. Boston's many policemen throw up their hands at the traf fic problems brought about by super - imposing. 300 horsepower cars on one horsepower streets. v School administrations riddled ' by politics, lack of park and re creation facilities and the, face less quality of a great city have conspired to create youth prob lems and the atmosphere where corruption breeds. .cWpr It may seem a long way from of another . juvenile ' correctional institution, but over a period of years a voter can take his choice one or the other. The lack of adequate services in a big city is not compensated by lower taxes, either. General ly, in the metropolitan areas of the East taxes rt twice as ADAM'S APPLE much as they are in Western Oregon. This is true in the big cities where the price of corrup tion must be paid, and also in the East's suburbs where the price of independence from the big city is paid in the form of higher taxes. The differences in class struc ture between East and West show up most sharply in the newspapers. The East is large enough to support some top quality "intellectual" n e w s papers like the New York Times and the Christian Science Moni tor. But these do not have the circulation of the mass news papers that must appeal to all classes of that broad society. Faced with a choice of extinc tion or lowering of standards to meet the demands of the lower classes, many newspapers have chosen to survive at the price of sensationalism and the under mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMmsmmmmmmmmms nr?h4HHiiuTTmrrn (Continued, from Page 1) Jack Kerouac's 'On the Road hang out.

Oregon newspapers, appealing to a narrower range of society, can satisfy the vast majority of their readers without constant sensationalism and with enough national and foreign news to keep the reader well informed. Oregon also may well congrat ulate itself upon its . free public beaches, toll-free highways and freedom from the annoyance of a sales tax, though the latter may not be far distant. After all, what is bought must be paid for. Living in a land of abundance, complacency comes easy. But its price can be high. It was the ancient Greek Demosthenes who was the first on record to intro duce the idea that eternal vigi lance is the price of liberty. The development of a virile society in the Pacific Northwest hasn't altered the truth of the 2300-year-old maxim. characteristic bf many other "liberal" movements to toss aside the convention that mankind has wrought for its discipline. "Free dom" may be intoxicating, lead ing often and easily to free love. Not ail revolts against en trenched customs are degrading. The Transcendentalist movement of a little over a century ago, which attracted such personages as-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Bronson Alcott and W. H. Channing, had as its slogan "plain living and high thinking." Instead of frequenting the dives of Boston they set Up Brook Farm near West Roxbury as a religious and intellectual community. Their experiment failed, but the stand ards they cultivated had value. The - Beat Generation ranges to the opposite side of the moral spectrum. A writer for the San Francisco .Chronicle who visited the haunts of the Beatniks reported that some of the habitues were "very cool" about Donna Connie's death, while others "merely shrugged and got back to the point of being 'beat.' In discussing the death "of. Swanson. a "little man with trembling hands and huge horn-rimmed glasses' summed up ins inougnis inus: "He probably fell those two-and-a-half flights saying, 'Thank you, thank you.'" Perhaps; but the Beat, or at least Donna Connie, couldn't erase all religion from her heart. The evening before her death she visited the mortuary where Swanson's body lay and pressed a Rosary on his body. Around her neck when her body was found was a chain with a St. Christo pher's medal attached. St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers.
