When the Fourth holiday
.Time was when you could never '
be confused about the arrival of
Independence Day.- The kids
wouldn't let you. They were on the
streets In droves at the crack of
dawn, setting off an endless stock
of Roman candles, Chinese firecrack
ers, Jady-fingers, rockets, cherry
bombs and every other conceivable
device capable of making a prodi
gious racket. Nobody ever overslept
on the morning of the Fourth.
' In most states, though as in
Oregon fireworks are now a thing
of the past; Legislation has pretty
much done away with their sale and
use. In a way, this is unfortunate.
Fireworks have always provided
much of the drama of America's
most American holiday. But the
lawmakers really had little choice.
Too many youngsters suffered dis
figuration from burns, or loss of

Uncomfortable
A group of Oregon newspaper
editors were whillng away time in
a plane ten days or so ago, when
one asked his fellows:
"What's the most thankless job
the governor of Oregon has to do?
What's the one duty he's required
to perform . which can draw the
most fire?"
The answer was quick, and
unanimous. Everyone agreed that
appointing a member of the Oregon
State Game Commission probably
brought more criticism down on the
governor, and the appointee, than
any other act a governor might be
expected to perform during his term
in office. Oregon , governors (ask
Bob Holmes) have discovered in the
past that those who hunt and fish
in this state probably have stronger
opinions on their pet subjects than
almost any other Oregon group.
So it was last week when Gov
ernor Mark Hatfield announced the
appointment of Pat Metkc of Bond
as a member of the Game Commis
sion. All sorts of guesses have been
made which have attempted to put
some sort of construction upon Hat
field's motives in appointing Metkc
or upon Metke's qualifications for
the job.
; Too often those who seek ap
pointment to the board and some
pretty fancy lobbying has been done
in 'past years for various favorite
son candidates are single-interest
men. They want to "straighten the
commission out" on deer seasons, or
trout limits, or salmon tags, or bird
seasons, or limits, or something.
The commission is relatively
big business. It spends about S4 mil
lion per year. Its actions touch most
Oregonlans, including those who do
not fish, or hunt. It must pay atten
tion to striped bass in Coos Bay,
black bass In Malheur Reservoir,
salmon in Hosrwr lake, gteelhead
in the Rogue, trout In the Santlam,
deer in Central Oregon, elk In Wal
lowa county, and many other things
besides. Members of the commission,
or employes of the commission, can
not afford to be single-Interest men.
The state cannot afford to have
single-interest men on the commis
sion. Metke's background is a rela
tively good one, when it Is judged
against commission appointments

fingers, vision, and even life. The
drama has gone out of the Fourth,
but, more important, so have those
annual dangers.
What remains for the kids to
entertain themselves with? Not
much. Oregon statute limits their
holiday playthings to sparklers and
paper-cap guns or canes that is,
caps containing .25 grains or less of
explosive compound. And the selling
of fireworks in Oregon is strictly
forbidden, except when sold for the
purpose of an organized fireworks
display.
Bend has one grand-scale fire
works display during the upcoming
Water Pageant this month. This, it
seems, will be the only opportunity
youngsters have to watch what was
once a traditional participant recreation.
made by some governors In the past.
He has had legislative experience,
which is always valuable. He served
for two years on a legislative in
terim committee on fish and game,
an education in itself.
It Is true he does not hunt and
fish to tho exclusion of every other
spare-time activity. And although
he has the desire and background
to make a good commissioner, it is
a foregone conclusion he will join
other members of the commission
in some unpopular decisions.
There is no way to make all
decisions of the commission popular.
There is no way to make all ap
pointments to the commission pop

which take an interest in the work

WASHINGTON Cynics who

was too much. They thought thoy
might be able to raise enough
money if they could use a school

So they sent a delegation of five
students to talk to the School
Board about borrowing one. Evin
Frank, a bubbling yet serious
blonde, explained to the Board why
they wanted to go: to learn to ac

together, to learn the value of a

heritage.
Gary Garbctt (who was pointed
out as "our best athlete") pre

Sandy Bolkan showed maps of the

they expected to raise the money,

they'd have to think about such a

Kennedy will find Italy's
problems like his own
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON The first
Catholic President in American
history will find political prob
lems similar to his own when lie
meets with the leaders of the
leading Catholic country of Eur
ope. It so happens that the Christian
Democratic Party, completely
Catholic, which has dominated
Italy ever since the war, has
drifted fiu'Uier and further away
from tho original liberal leader
ship of Premier De Gasperi, and
the recent liberalism of Pope
John and Premier Fanfani; so
that today the new premier can
not control a majority in Parlia
ment. Simultaneously In the U n 1 1 e d
States, the Democratic Party,
which John F. Kennedy heads,
has drifted more and more away
from his liberal leadership, so
that today he cannot control a
majority in Congress.
Actually the Democratic Party
in the United States is composed
of splinter groups, similar to the
splinter groups in the Italian
government. All during the Roose
velt and Truman administrations
the Democratic Party consisted
of an alliance between the Prot
estant south: the big city ma
chines, largely Catholic: labor,
also largely Catholic; with con-
sldorahle support from Jewish
and Negro void's.
But Ilia Democratic south, now
prosperous from the southward
trek of Industry and aroused over
Civil Rights, has largely deserted

his own Catholic supporters have

The youngsters were still filled
with excitement over the day they
had just spent in which they met
Oregon's two Senators and toured
the historic shrines of Washington.
It was a toss-up as to whether
Williamsburg, Virginia, a beauti
fully reconstructed colonial town,
or Washington had impressed
them most.
Don Calvin, a handsome new
comer to Colton, who said he plans
maybe to study law, said he was
most impressed with having met
Senator Wayne Morse and Se n.

the increased Communist vote at
the last election. The Communist
Party in Catholic Italy, today, in
cidentally, is the biggest in Eur
ope outside of Russia.
But one development President
Kennedy will find regarding his
own church is that the top cardi
nals of France and Germany have
moved more to the left. They
shared emphatically the liberal
ism of Uio late Pope John, and
even endorsed French coal
miners when they wore striking
against President de Gaulle.
Meanwhile, most of the hier
archy In the United States, with
the exception of Kennedy's own
cardinal, Cushing of Boston, have
moved to the right. Generally
they share the conservatism of
Cardinal Spellman of New York.
One reason for the left trend of
the church in Italy has been the
failure of the Italian government
until recently to carry out
basic social and economic re
forms. Up untU Die center-left coali
tion under Fanfani changed them,
Italy still continued the motion
picture censorship laws of Musso

taxing the consumer as against

hangovers from the Fascist re
gime. It was only in the last two
years that the new burst of Ital

Pope John, put across pensions
for older people such as tlie
United States has had for twenty
years, free text books for Hie
first five grades in school, job
protection (or pregnant women,
a 15 per cent withholding tax on
dividends, and certain amount
of land reform.
These were what caused some
of the Catholic parly to move
further to the right, while the
Communists, who claimed the
reforms were too cautious, picked
up votes.

the sentiment.
Larry Wulf obliging got out his
diary and explained their itinerary.
They were roughly to follow the
Lewis and Clark trail from the
West to the East and, as they
start their homeward trek this
week, they expect to follow the
Oregon Trail. Their trip East
had taken them through Yellow
stone, the Plains States, Michigan,
Niagara Falls and Canada, New
York State, Boston, New York
City, Williamsburg, Va., and Wash
ington, D.C. They expect to be
home July 5.
They camped in public camp
grounds except for three nights
in private camps which cost them
50 cents a person. Some camps
were primitive, such as in South
Dakota where the boys had to
carry water from a hand pump
a half mile to their campsite. The
girls giggled in telling about the
few (cold) showers they had had,
explaining that they had even
washed their hair in lakes, and
they dressed in the crowded tent
or in the bus.
Kathleen Vraspir, a pretty girl
with long dark hair, showed the
reporter the girls' tent which had
eleven sleeping bags close togeth
er and a few small suitcases
stacked around. She laughed that
it was a little difficult dressing for
church on Sunday under such con
ditions, but they did manage to
make themselves presentable.
Susan Bishop, who tilt day of
the interview had climbed to the
top of the Washington Monument
with the Jl boys in 90 degree
weather, still had an infectious,
happy grin and bounce in tolling
about her adventures.
She said that Boston had been
a disappointment. "I expected it
would be something like Williams
burg," she said, "but It was so
built up." The students didn't like
the city slums of the East, nor the
polluted Potomac River which
they had seen that day when they
toured Mount Vernon. Their word
was "ick" for the crowded cities
of the East; they liked the wide
open spaces of Oregon. Chuck
Wilcken said it really made h i m
appreciate all they had in Oregon.
Kennedy, Mac
set strategy on
test ban talks
LONDON (UPI) President
Kennedy and British Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan have ap
proved a three-way strategy for
the nuclear test ban negotiations
in Moscow later this month, dip
lomatic sources said today.
The sources said the two West
ern leaders worked out a set of
instructions for their special en
voys during their weekend sum
mit meeting here.
A joint communique issued at
the conclusion of the talks Sun
day also noted that Kennedy and
Macmillan, as expected, failed to
reach accord on the U.S.-proposed
multinational nuclear force for
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization (NATO). They decided to
set the question aside because of
British reluctance to join at this
time.
The communique underlined
that there is no "rift" on the
nuclear force plan, which West
Germany has approved fully but
which France rejects. British of
ficials have questions about the
plan's feasibility and the cost.
The communique said Kennedy
and Macmillan also discussed
military aid to India for defense
against Communist Chinese ag
gression, and the unstable situa
tions in Laos and South Viet
Nam.
The sources said tho three-way
nuclear strategy for the Moscow
talks provide for these courses:
A comprehensive ban of all
tests, including hard-lo-detect un
derground explosions, with ade
quate control provisions and on
site inspections to police the
agreement.
A partial test ban on atmos
pheric, underwater and surface
nuclear explosions, to be con
trolled by national control sys
tems and robot recorders in the
three nuclear countries. This
would leave the question of un
derground tests open. The Allies
are not prepared to agree to an
indefinite moratorium on such
tests.

TOKYO (LTD The Commu
nists claimed today they killed 51
Americans and wounded four
others in the central part of
South Vict Nam in the first five
months of 1963.
The Peking Radio, in a Hanoi

Time has arrived for fine
art of 'place-dropping'
By Gay Pauley
UPI Staff Writer
NEW YORK (UPP-Now that
summer vacation time is here,
so also Is the time for exercise
of the fine art of place-dropping.
Toss in also, as part of the
summer regimen, the art of res
taurant, hotel and visa-dropping.
Leave name-dropping to Elsa
Maxwell.
As in all other exercise, the
one of place-dropping is to be
eased into gently. No headlong
plunge, unless you can stand to
be bruised at the first encounter.
For, no expert in the art of
place-dropping ever opens a con
versation suddenly with "Well,
the wife and I are just back
from Paris and Rome, and I tell
you, the prices!"
The skilled one waits until the
other person in the conversation
group mentions that he or she
just loved the Louvre and it was
better to see the Mona Lisa on
home ground than when it was
on loan to those museums in
Washington and New York.
Btfert The Kennedys
Then, the expert casually bores
in with, "Now lot me think. . . I
guess the first time I ever saw
the Mona Lisa was about 1953. . .
before all that excitement about
it and the Kennedys. Time to
stand there quietly in the Louvre
and contemplate that smile. I
suppose it was about 1957 when
I was in Paris that I went back
again. . ."
Place-dropping is a breeze If
you listen in and catch a victim
who's never traveled abroad.
If he's wide-eyed enough to re
mark he's just picked up his
first passport, and is headed for,
say Scandinavia because that's
where his people came from orig
inally, you're home free.
You can place-drop, hotel-drop,
restaurant-drop and advice-drop
"Take warm clothing, don't tip
as much as you do in the States,
and you won't find any storks
roosting on rooftops like it says
in the travel folders." For this
poor traveler, even haul out col
or slides from your last trip to
where he's headed. SOMEBODY
should have the benefit of all that
camera angling.
The most difficult person on
whom to place-drop is the steady
traveler and indomitable sight
seer. He or she has been EVERY
WHERE and now has reached
the specialization stage. He cas-
