Maurine should look under some
other rocks in her new quest
Senator Maurine B. Neuberger
made headlines around the nation
the other day when she objected to
the annual custom of making the
taxpayers pay for the printing of the
- annual report of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. This is
One of those gentle little grafts
which has become sacred only
through the passage of time. Mrs.
Neuberger does not agree, personal
ly, with many of the legislative aims
of the. DAR, and finds fault with the
government's paying for the organi
zation's annual report.
Mrs. Neuberger is not the only
one who doesn't like the basic legis
lative program of the DAR. At issue,
of course, is more than this one
organization, more than the few dol
lars needed to pay this printing bill.
The DAR Is financially able to han
dle this little job, itself. Congress, as
Mrs. Neuberger . and others have
pointed out, has given special tax
consideration to a number of groups
which have questionable public
yalue. '
Most of the recent attacks have
been made against organizations
which espouse various right-wing
causes. Various groups and founda
tions have received special tax sta
tus on the grounds they are educa
tional, or scientific, or patriotic. It
Is fashionable, these days, to criti
cize those which advocate various
right-wing points of view. Many,
of course, are deeply involved in po
litical propaganda, on the grounds
that it is either educational or patri
otic. The right-wingers have become
a hair-shirt around the shoulders of
the Republican party, where most
observers automatically place them.
Yet, one of the largest operators in
this field In the country is a lifelong
Democrat. Republicans are stuck
Numb
ers
The U. S. Post Office Depart
ment, with a big splash, has assign
ed ZIP numbers to every post office
In the country. This being the time
of year when editorial writers like
to end their days as early as pos
sible, the new numbers have been
the subject of considerable editorial
comment.
There's probably some real sig
nificance to the three letters chosen
to designate the new numbers. Gov
ernment agencies like to pick out
three words which mean something,
and then use the Initial letters,
which in themselves become recog
nizable. The post office has not ex
plained this to date, and we're hav
a hard time finding just which three
words the moguls in Washington had
in mind. "Zeal in Postage" doesn't
sound quite right, somehow.
Postal users are supposed to put
ZIP numbers in nil their addresses,
from now on. This, the post office
Informs us, by means of a post card,
will speed up mail service. But the
whole thing seems to have broken
down, somehow, somewhere. The
Washington office has not yet noti
fied the Bond post office what the
ZIP numbers are for the rest of the
post offices in the country. You can
, put 'em on your letters if you want,
they won't mean anything to post
office employes for a few days yet.

with the image, much as the Demo
crats only a few years ago were
fighting off supporters with Com
munist records.
Newspaper editors, one suspects,
get about as much mail from various
groups advocating special political
interests as any group of persons in
the country. Since Mrs. Neuberger
spoke on the subject, this news
paper has spent some time examin
ing that portion of mail which ordi
narily is automatically consigned to
the wastebasket.
Not all of it is right-wing, by
any means. A good part of it comes
from organizations which sponsor a
liberal point of view. The trouble
is the liberals are "good" this ye5r,
the conservatives are "bad". ;
But, in order to be consistent,
Mrs. Neuberger might look farther
afield than the DAR, or other or
ganizations which push for a move
to the right. She might examine
some of those good, liberal outfits,
which plead for support, which ask
for special tax status, as well as
those bad, conservative outfits.
Mrs. Neuberger has asked the
Internal Revenue Service to look
into the matter and make "adminis
trative reforms." One suspects ad
ministrative reforms will not be
enough to accomplish much, and
that the Revenuers will come back
and ask Congress to look into the
question. It would be interesting to
see how many Congressmen would
stand up willingly to be counted
when the poor old DAR is not the
only defendant, when the change
involves such outfits as the National
Education Association and the
United Auto Workers to give
the names of two organizations
which have mailed political propa
ganda to this newspaper in recent
days.
This is the latest in a series of
numbers. We're becoming a num
bered society. The editor of The Bul
letin is 15033821811 to the tele
phone company. He's 536185392
to the Social Security administra
tion and the Internal Revenue Serv
ice. He's 97701 to the post office,
something else to the assessor, and
a whole string of numbers to various
other government departments.
He shudders to think of the size
wallet his grandchildren will have
to carry, just to keep track of the
numbers assigned to them.

House committee vote poses no danger
to the Pacific Northwest's interests
By Robert A. Smith
Bulletin Correspondent
WASHINGTON The private
electric utility industry has come
up with a powerful one-two punch
this past week that has all but
knocked out the Kennedy Admin
istration's plan for building a fed
eral long-distance power intertie
between the Pacific Northwest
and Southern California.
The most telling punch was land
ed in Los Angeles when that
city's Department of Water and
Power announced that it consid
ered the best deal for its millions
of consumers to be that offered
by a group of four private power
companies headed by Pacific Gas
and Electric Co., the West's larg
est utility, which is anxious to
build a private intertie from the
Northwest into its own territory.
The city of Los Angeles issued
a statement of its confidence that
the private intertie proposed by
PG&E "will provide to us and to
our customers the greatest value
per dollar of cost and the greatest
assurances of continuity of serv
ice." The significance of this declar
ation hit government and con
gressional officials here with con
siderable force, because Los An
geles is the biggest potential mar
ket for surplus Northwest power.
There has been a working assump
tion among private and pub
lic power groups that the economic
feasibility of any intertie rested
on serving this mushrooming mar
Washington Morry-pii-rouml
Pope Paul's
Id b
cou
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON President
Kennedy faces a delicate political
problem with Pope Paul VI. The
Vatican has let it be known that
Pope Paul will make a trip to the
United States, thereby setting a
precedent.
No other Pope in the long his
tory of the Catholic Church has
ever visited the United States.
Several have come here before
they were elected, including Pope
Paul, who toured this country as
Cardinal Montini. The late Pope
Pius XII also came here, as Car
dinal Pacelli. However, no reign
ing Pope has ever been to the
USA.
And for Pope Paul to come
here, with the first Catholic Presi
dent now in the White House, es
pecially during or just before an
election year, might be politically
embarrassing. It would play into
the hands of certain hard-shell
anti-Catholics who predicted dur
ing the 1960 campaign that, once
a Catholic became President, the
Church of Rome would move to
Washington.
President Kennedy, of course,
can't very well tell this, to the
Pope when they confer. But
doubtless discreet suggestions
along this line will be made to
the Vatican, not to the Pope per
sonally but through Kennedy's old
friend Cardinal Cicognani, the pa
pal secretary, who lived in Wash
ington for many years and knows
the USA like a book.
President Kennedy is already
reported sensitive over the fact
that his two leaders in Congress,
Sen. Mike Mansfield of Montana
and Speaker John McCormack of
Boston, both able men, aro Cath
olic, and that the chairman and
two vice chairmen of the Demo
cratic National Committee John
Bailey, Gov. Pat Brown of Cal
ifornia, and Mayor Robert Wag
ner of New York, all are of the
Catholic faith.
Some of these are fine leaders,
but the concentration of so many
Catholics in high positions i s n 't
considered good politics.
Junket for Irish Mafia
Ono interesting piece of man
aged news around the White
House is the passenger list of the
special Air Force jot which took
off with the President's Irish
friends aboard on June 25 at 8:10
P.M. from Andrews field to at
tend the big welcoming party in
Ireland.
The Air Force, when queried,
admitted that the plane had de
parted, but said it mild not give
tiie list of passengers it was a
White House matter.
A call to the press relations of
fice of the White House brought
this reply: "I am sorry but we
have no such list to release."
In order to make sure this was
not an accidental slipup, I made
a second call to the White House,
also without results. This time !
asked whether it was not true
that the White House had refused
to put on an extra press plane

Reportedly, the private utilities
made Los Angeles the kind of
deal it couldn't turn down, agree
ing to start providing power soon
long before the intertie is actually
built) at a rate comparable to
what the federal government
would charge. Since a federal in
tertie would take several years to
build, this would be a better deal
than Los Angeles could get from
the federal government.
The second blow to the adminis
tration was a resounding 23 to 9
vote in the House Interior Com
mittee in favor of a proposal
strongly pressed by the utilities
requiring the Interior Department
to refrain from building any in
tertie outside the Pacific North
west unless it gets a special bill
through Congress to authorize such
a project. The implication of the
proposal was to make it impos
sible for Bonneville Power Admin
istration and the Bureau of Rec
lamation to execute their plans
for a federal line linking the two
regions without this committee's
consent and since the prevailing
mood of that committee evidently
favors private utility-built inter
ties it would compel BPA to ac
cept the private utility offers to
build the line.
This action came on an amend
ent sponsored by Rep. Jack West
land, R-Wash. Reportedly the
utility industry got the coal indus
try and the United Mine Workers
to join in lining up votes for the
visit to U.S.
e embarrassinq one
to take care of the overflow of
photographers and newspapermen
who wanted to accompany the
President. The reply: "We don't
know."
"Surely you know whether one
or two press planes left with the
President," I asked.
"No, we don't know."
Several weeks ago I had talked
to Pierre Salinger about the news
men and photographers barred
from taking the trip because there
was insufficient room on one
plane. He said it was too expen
sive to add another plane.
Newsmen pay their own way,
but that made no difference.
However, a special plane was
wheeled out by the Air Force to
take various Boston Irishmen and
members of the "Irish Mafia" in
the White House across the At
lantic for the Irish Jamboree. So
many members of the White House
staff were absent that the execu
tive mansion almost stopped func
tioning. Little progress
made in lumber
industry talks
PORTLAND (UPI)-An employ
er spokesman reported "little or
no progress" today following talks
between the lumber industry's
Big Six and the striking Lumber
and Sawmill Workers Union
(LSW).
The meeting was held Monday
with a federal mediator present.
No more talks are on schedule at
present.
The LSW and the International
Woodworkers of America (IWA)
went on strike June 5 against two
members of the Big Six, St. Regis
Paper Co. and U.S. Plywood. The
four other members Weyerhaeus
er, International Paper, Rayonier
and Crown Zcllerbach then shut
down plants where union mem
bers are employed, saying a
strike against one was a strike
against all.
The employer spokesman said
employers had no change in their
previous offer of about 22 cents
an hour over three years and
that the LSW still asked 60 cents
an hour over the same period.
The talks were recessed subject
to call by the Federal Mediation
Service and cither one of the
parties.
The unions last week indicated
they may spread the strike.
TOO MUCH PUSH
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (ITI) -When
Sawnie Alexander asked a
friend, Horace Watson, to give
his stalled car a push Monday,
the friend complied with his own
automobile.
The stalled vehicle struck a
parked car and a tree, went
through a fence under a clothes
line filled with clean wash, and
then into another fence, where a
steel pole brought it to rest.
Westland amendment, which was
attached to the pending bill de
signed to give the Northwest first
priority on use of its own power.
There is more California poli
tics than Northwest polities involv
ed in these developments. Cali
fornia's local public power agen
cies, such as the cities of Sacra
mento, Pasadena, Redding, Santa
Clara, Palo Alto, want a federal
intertie rather than one controlled
by the private utilities in order to
be certain of getting a share of
surplus Northwest power at a mod
est rate. Gov. Edmund (Pat)
Brown wants a federal line run
ning all the way to Los Angeles;
and California's Sens. Clair Engle
and Thomas Kuchel, plus a num
ber of it Northern congressmen,
want a federal line at least into
Northern California where local
public agencies could have access
to it.
The Northwest's chief interests
in the whole question of an inter
tie with California are not ser
iously jeopardized by these devel
opments. The chief objective is to
secure markets for surplus Colum
bia River power, to sell that en
ergy in order to diminish or wipe
out recent Bonneville deficits and
thereby avoid the necessity of Bon
neville increasing its prevailing
power rates for all Northwest cus
tomers. A private intertie to Los
Angeles can serve that objective
about as well as a federal intertie,
and certainly with greater dispatch.
Kennedy seems
to have boosted
European unity
ROME, Italy (UPD-President
Kennedy's 10-day "invasion" of
Western Europe appears to have
increased Allied unity for the
time being and strengthened his
hand for trying to negotiate some
tension - easing cold war settle
ment with Russia.
His major accomplishment, in
the view of top aides, was in
quieting German fears that his
new "strategy for peace" might
lead to some sort of deal with
Moscow at the expense of the Al
liesparticularly on Berlin.
Another major gain possibly
temporary was in stemming the
drift in some NATO countries to
ward French President Charles
de Gaulle's "go-it-alone" policy
for Western Europe.
In any event, Kennedy flies
home from Naples tonight con
vinced that his visits to Germany,
England and Italy with a senti
mental sojourn in Ireland along
the way were well worth the ef
fort and might some day be
looked back on as a turning point
in the struggle to reconcile East
West differences.
Chief Address
The key address of the trip was
made last Wednesday at the Free
University in West Berlin.
It was address not only to Red
encircled Berliners but to all
nervous Allies suspicious of the
permanence of America's com
mitment in Europe.
He reaffirmed in ringing terms
U.S. determination to defend Ber
lin and all other territory in free
Europe, but warned this did not
mean the Allies should automati
cally rebuff any Soviet peace
overtures.
The NATO shield against Red
aggression is unyielding, he said,
but "it is not enough to mark
time ... in a situation fraught
with challenge, in an era of rapid
change ..."
Opportunities For West
He undoubtedly was thinking,
among other things, of the oppor
tunities for the West which may
arise from the ever-widening
Sino - Soviet split, underlined a
short time later by the Kremlin's
action in expelling three Chinese
Communist diplomats.
There is little doubt the Ger
mans, always jittery lest Wash
ington make some deal behind
their backs, will need to be re
assured again from time to time.
But the impact his speech made
, was evidenced by the fact that
West German Foreign Minister
Gerhard Schroeder has been quot
ing from it liberally ever since.
Lawmakers rap
Kennedys for
history errors
WASHINGTON (UPI) A cou
ple of Republicans think the Ken
nedy brothers should brush up on
their history.
Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R-S.D.,
said Monday he caught President
Kennedy in the following histori
cal errors in speeches made in
Germany last week:
Kennedy said Boston was the
oldest city in the United States.
Wrong, said Mundt, it's St. Au
gustine. Fla.
Kennedy said Gen. Custer led
500 cavalry troops against Sitting
Bull in 1878. Wrong again, said
Mundt, it was June 25. 1876. and
there were only 771 soldiers.

Reed reports on his
Holgate investigation
To the Editor:
In further reference to the Hol
gate Foster Home, we wish to
acquaint you and local citizens of
the follow-up action taken in re
sponse to the questions raised
concerning the Home at the meet
ing of June 19th in Bend.
On Thursday, June 20th, Mr.
and Mrs. Holgate brought all the
boys to MacLaren. That after
noon was spent in talking with
Mr. and Mrs. Holgate and with
Mr. Wayne Hamilton concerning
the operation of the foster home.
Friday morning was spent in
talking with the boys.
Mr. and Mrs. Holgate explain
ed that the night lights com
plained about by one or two
neighbors were not the result of
unsupervised boys simply roam
ing about the fields, but were in
fact necessary to enable Mr.
Holgate to supervise boys in shift
ing the flow of water in the irri
gation ditches, which it should be
added some of the neighbors also
find it necessary to do. The light
was not a flashlight, but a Cole
man lantern.
Concerning the objectionable
letter mentioned by one parent,
this was not seen by Mr. or Mrs.
Holgate nor by any of the Mac
Laren staff prior to, or during,
the meeting of June 19th, although
repeatedly requested. Also, Mr.
and Mrs. Holgate reported that
several objectionable letters had
been sent to the Holgaus Home
boy by a local girl. Nevertheless,
this particular boy was retained
at MacLaren and will not be re
turned to the Holgates.
Mr. Holgate reports that a
member of the Holgate family
always drove the truck complain
ed about by a local citizen, and
further reported that he did not
permit the boys to drive any of
the Holgate vehicles.
Although the Holgates gave ex
planations which placed several
of the complaints in an entirely
different light from those given
at the meeting, Mr. and Mrs.
Holgate were instructed to give
closer supervision to the boys
both at and away from the home.
They, and Mr. Hamilton, were
requested to take prompt and de
cisive action whenever a boy
violates the law or seriously viol
ates the rules of good conduct.
A ceiling of ten boys was stip
ulated as a maximum population
for the Holgate Home. Ten boys
were returned to the home. Two
of these have been recommended
for final discharge by their
committing courts. In addition,
Mr. and Mrs. Holgate were in
structed not to permit former
residents to visit or reside at
their home. This ruling also ex
tends to boys from placement
sources other than MacLaren.
In talking with the boys, it was
significant that they spoke very
highly of Mr. and Mrs. Holgate
and wanted to return to their
home. They also had no com
plaints about the treatment they
had received from the communi
ty, and seemed to feel that they
had many friends and acquaint
ances in Deschutes County.
Much was said about standards
of operations in such a group
home. It should be observed that
the Holgates are not operating a
public school, nor an institution.
On the contrary, they are at
tempting to assist boys to respond
favorably to a home atmosphere
where controls are not as rigid
as they would be in an institu
tion. In short, in their role as
foster parents, they are endeav
oring to provide a means of
transition between the institution
and the full emancipation of
boys who might otherwise not
achieve this goal.
Much was also said about car
thefts perpetrated by Holgate
boys. Discussions with the Hol
gates, with all fourteen boys,
Mr. Hamilton, plus a close ex
amination of our records disclos
ed that four cars were stolen
from the Tumalo area by Hoi-

gate boys between August, 1961,
and December, 1962; two cars
from the Redmond area and one
car from Bend. Granted that
even one car theft is not to be
condoned, it should be noted that
some 88 boys in all have resided
at the Holgate Home since Aug
ust 1961, and that no car thefts
have occurred on the part of
Holgate boys since last Decem
ber. Surely these facts bespeak
not only a minimal amount of
such activity, given the damaged
personalities of all these boys,
but a remarkable improvement
as well in their social adjust
ment in recent months.
As to whether the Holgate Fost
er Home is to continue to receive
MacLaren's support, this remains
to be decided. Close and con
tinuous examination of every
facet of its functioning is al
ready underway. At such time as
a final decision is reached, you
will be promptly and fully in
formed. In the interim, please accept
our earnest appreciation for your
objective reporting of a most
complex and difficult situation.

Observance of
Gettysburg
battle opens
GETTYSBURG,' Pa. (UPD
'Gov. William W. Scranton Monday
officially opened the centennial
observance of the Battle of Get
tysburg with a plea for the na
tion to work the will of the ma
jority "without trampling the
rights of the minority."
Pennsylvania's chief executive,
in an address prepared for de
livery at the Eternal Peace Light
Memorial commemorating' the
largest and bloodiest battle ever
fought in the Western Hemisphere,
said one of the primary tasks
lacing America today is "driving
prejudice out of the human heart
as rapidly as we are learning to
drive men into outer space."
Scranton said the "paradox" of
the Civil War was that it was
fought with both sides invoking
the same principles, and the
American nation "went to war
with itself shouting the same slo
gans, fighting for the same broad
principles. ..man's ancient and na
tural desire to be free."
While not referring directly to
current racial discord, the gover
nor said that 100 years after the
battle, "America still has not
completely solved the problems of
self - government.. .but those who
fell on this battlefield have not
died in vain because our Nation
today is great enough to keep
trying."
"Despite our sectional differ
ences, the Union stands, firm and
strong," he said. "The South
grows with America, as does the
North. And, the West has joined
them."
