To fhe rescue! EE3 One of fhe great prophets It begins to appear the rod won't attract fhe lightning One of the most carefully placed political lightning rods of recent years was erected early in 1959 by Oregon's Governor Mark O. Hatfield. High on a hill it stood, caressed by the political winds. It was designed to attract the Republican nomina tion for Vice President of the United States in 1964. But it is beginning to be apparent the rod will not at tract the lightning. Hatfield's election in 1958, his win over an incumbent Democrat who had been serving as Governor, gave him a tremendous political boost. He was young, and handsome. He was a good speaker, having spent several years ot evenings and weekends perfecting his technique. He was good on tv, a real asset to anyone who seeks major state or national office. The year 1958 was a high point for Democrats, and any Republican who could win then was guaranteed some prominence. Hatfield didn't let it stop there. Having installed the lightning rod, he began to expose himself, not to the storms, but to people outside of Oregon. He has travelled more, and longer, and more widely than any other Oregon governor. He can al ways find an excuse to make a speech in New York, or Illinois, or California, or any other place with a big electoral vole. Events of recent months, and the inexorable mathematics of Pres idential politics, have combined to make Hatfield the darkest horse in the national " political stable. His hoped-for alliance with Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York was kicked into a cocked hat by Rocke feller's divorce and subsequent re marriage, a pair of events which combined to make Rockefeller's nomination highly unlikely. And it's no particular honor to be running mate of a man who is not running. The Rockefeller remarriage brought Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona to the fore. But no one ever heard of a major political party which would stand for having both its top candidates coming from small,. Western states, ignoring the North, the East, and all the big col lections of electoral votes. A pundit the other day men tioned Hatfield as a Presidential pos sibility himself. But this is highly unlikely. Hatfield is pretty weak on major national issues. He has no national reputation, in any field, to give him a boost. So it begins to appear that all . of Hatfield's best-laid plans, all of his travel, all of his speeches, will come to naught. The biggest blow to his chances came when Rockefeller threw his overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder, so to speak. Hatfield's lightning rod was a failure; it didn't do the job. From now on Hatfield might be well ad vised to make more of his speeches, and do more of his travelling, in Oregon. There's still the probability he will seek the U.S. Senate seat now held by Maurine Neuberger when it comes up for grabs in 1966, at the end of his term as governor. And most knowledgeable political observers in Oregon give him an ex cellent chance to make a graceful transition from Salem to Washing ton, from governorship to the Senate. Brown's largely to blame rather quickly. Jim Brown, superintendent of the Redmond union high school district, must be assigned most of the credit, or blame, for closing of the Holgate Farm facility in the Tumalo area, in a joint action by the owners of the farm and the state's MacLaren School. Ilis vocal supporters in the campaign to shut up the farm will assign him credit. We feel he is more entitled to blame than credit, The Holgate operation was not a perfect one. This newspaper has so stated on various occasions. Still, it filled a need, a need for a "home" for homeless boys who have been in trouble, a place for them to start working their way back to normal social relationships with other people. Since no one has been hurt excepting a bunch of kids and these, it must be remembered are "bad" kids there probably will be few tears shed over the shutdown. There was the further advantage that the kids were from out of town, so there's no one to create a lot of embarrassment by sticking up for them. Brown has been against the Holgate facility since it first was opened. Unfortunately, the geo graphic location of the home placed it in the school district by which he is employed. One is left with the suspicion that had the foster home been in another district the problem never would have arisen, or a major part of whatever problem that did come up would have been settled Brown was not alone, of course. Some Tumalo residents by no means all of them joined in the effort to close down Holgate. A so called public hearing was rather quickly turned into a kangaroo court when the man presiding an nounced that the hearing was not convened to hear anyone who want ed to speak in favor of the facility. Tliis is not the first, time Brown has been involved in similar situa tions. While in Klamath Falls he demonstrated a similar lack of un derstanding of a bunch of friendless youngsters. No, the Holgate operation was not perfect. But it was improving. It was a necessary facility to help a bunch of kids. Residents of this area cannot afford to attempt to sweep society's mistakes under someone else's rug. It's too bad the busybodies involved in this whole affair couldn't understand that.

Isaiah still quoted , 2700 years later wovur By Leuti Cattele UPI Staff Writ.r During a recent Senate debate on Housing legislation. Sen. Clif ford P. Case, R-N.J., pleaded for new controls over "urban sprawl" which leaves no open space between developments. To bolster his argument, he read from the Bible a warning voice 2,700 years ago by the prophet Isaiah: "Woe to those who join house to house, "Who add field to field. "Until there is no more room. . ." That Isaiah is still being quot ed in legislative assemblies, aft er 27 centuries, will come as no surprise to anyone who is famil iar with the Old Testament book which bears his name. Isaiah was one of the greatest of the Hebrew prophets. He spoke passionately about the problems of his own time and place. But his generation had much in common with our own, and many of his sermons might have been preached to an Ameri can congregation of the year 1963. Isaiah poured out his message to the children of Israel for a period of about 40 years, begin ning around 740 B.C. This was a time when the kingdom of Judah was under constant threat of at tack by a ruthless aggressor, the Assyrian empire. People Wort Faithful It was a time when people were very punctilious about keep ing up the external appearances of religious devotion. They kept all of the feasts and were faith ful in their attendance at solemn assemblies. Beneath this superficial piety, however, Isaiah saw a spreading moral rot. There were grave social injus tices in the land. But the people who controlled the power struc tures of society were not doing very much to correct them. In fact, some were trying to perpet uate oppressions. Although the nation was enjoy ing economic prosperity, there were vast numbers of poor peo ple who did not share in it. The well-fed weren't concerned about them; they were solely interest ed in piling up more luxuries for themselves. To escape from anxiety about the international situation, or out of boredom, many of the "best" people had begun to drink heavi ly, and to engage in promiscuous sexual adventures. It was to this people that Isai ah spoke. And he made clear that the warnings were not his own. but the words of the Lord. Contempt For Lip Service Isaiah said God had only con tempt for a people who "honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me." "Hear the word of the Lord," he cried. "Bring me no more vain offer ings; your incense is an abomi nation to me. "Your solemn assemblies and your appointed feasts, my soul hates; they have become a bur den to me. "Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen while your hands are full of blood. "But wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; "Cease to do evil, learn to do good; "Seek justice, correct oppres sion, defend the fatherless, sup port the widow." Again and again, Isaiah stressed that just treatment of all men was not merely an inci dental aspect of religion, but the heart and core of it. And he said that God was angry at every wrong inflicted upon the weak or disadvantaged members of so ciety. "What do you mean by crush ing my people, "By grinding the faces of the poor? says the lord God of Hosts." He also spoke unequivocally about the rising rate of alcohol ism, the vain and provocative feminine display, and other symptoms of moral decadence which he saw in a materialistic and self-centered society. "Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may run after strong drink; "Who tarry late into the eve ning, until wine inflames them." And in another place he pro nounced a woe upon "the daugh ters of Zion (who) are haughty and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes, mincing along as they go." "Hear the word of the Lord," Isaiah cried to the rulers and people of his day. "The Lord of Hosts says. . .1 will turn my hand against you, "And will smelt away your dross as with lye "And remove all of your al loy. . . "Zion shall be redeemed by justice "And those in her who repent, by righteousness. "But rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, "And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed." Washington Merry-go round Two basic issues in dispute between giants of Communism Editor's Not Probably no American newspaperman has acquired such a background re garding the debate between China and Russia as Drew Pearson. As eaely as 1925, Pear son went to China and reported on the first Soviet attempts to communize China. Earlier, in 1922, he visited Siberia. He has also crossed the Gobi to Mon golia, also reached the edge of Tibet, and more recently has in terviewed most of the top lead ers of the Communist world. To day Pearson begins a series of . columns on the battle between the giants of communism and what it means to the American people. By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON There are two basta Issues in dispute be tween the two giants of commu nism, the first being territory and the tremendous population bulge of Bed China; the second being whether Die Communist world can co-exist beside the Capitalist world and Still survive. The second difference has been so headlined that the public is in clined to forget the first, but it remains a fact that Russia under the Czar snatched about 5,500,000 square miles of Chkiese terri tory and the Chinese of late have been making noises about want ing it back. I have traveled up the Amur River through the area which the Czar's army snatched. It is flat, rich, largely uncultivated and re sembles the rolling prairies of Montana. It is traversed by one of the longest rivers in the world, the Amur, up which I sailed for a week before coming to one of the central cities of the Siberian Maritime Provinces, Khabarovsk, which used to be Chinese. These Maritime Provinces, a 1 1 formerly Chinese, extend down the coast of Siberia from the mouth of the Amur River to Man churia and west as far as Lake Baikal. According to the latest Soviet census, they have a popula tion of 8,7im,000. But with the in tensive cultivation and low stan dard of living of the Chinese, they could probably support ten times as much. At any rate, the Chinese gov ernment Inst winter nudged Mos cow regarding this vast area and made it clear that it reserved the right to reopen previous treaties and get the territory bark. Perhaps anticipating this, Khru shchev has been driving for more Russian migration in the area. When I talked to him on the shores of the Rlark Sea. he told me in some detail how he had overcome Mololov's skepticism about settling Eastern Siberia. "Let the tractor drivers sleep beside their machines like troops in the field." he told Molotov when the latter asked how the farm pioneers of Siberia were go ing to be housed. At any rate, this part of North east Siberia, plus restless Sinki nng Province where nomad tribes roam back and forth across the border, have caused serious fric tion between the two giants of the Communist world. Independent Mongolia Another cause of smouldering friction Is Mongolia, a semi des ert area claimed by the Chinese for several thousand years but now an independent republic lean ing toward Moscow. It was around 1925 that the Russian penetration of China real ly started. It had two objectives: One was to undercut the British, American and Japanese influence in China by planting the seeds of communism. The other was to woo some of the borderline terri tory away from China chiefly Mongolia. When I crossed the Gobi Des ert in 1925, to see how far the Soviet had penetrated in its ef fort to communize China, I had to travel in a car owned by the Soviet cooperative, Amtorg. Even that early, the Soviet controlled all lines ot communication with outer Mongolia, an area once considered part of China. En route, we passed a caravan of Buicks, heavy with ammuni tion and with Russian rifles strapped In boxes on their run ning boards. The pictures I snap ped of these gun-runners were the first concrete evidence the U. S. Military Attache In Peking had received of Soviet military pene tration into China. The Chinese, however, were smart. They took Russian mili tary help and they kow-towed to bearded Russian Ambassador Karahan in Peking. But actually they were maneuvering to play the Russians off against the Brit ish, Americans and Japanese who then lived on the fat of the land in their own international settle ments. Chiang Helped Communists Chiang Kai-shek, now the arch enemy of Chinese communism, was one of those then flirting with the Russians; in fact he had or ganized the Whampo Cadets un der Russian Military Adviser Bor odin, and controlled all shipping up the Pearl River from Hong Kong to Canton. Chiang was con sidered so pro-Communist that the American Consul warned me not to take the trip. It turned out to be uneventful as far as the river-boat voyage was concerned. But in Canton I got the first real taste of Chinese communism. It took the form of a boycott against the American, British, French and Japanese in ternational settlement that was so tight that no food could be pur chased, no water was supplied, no servants were available and grass grew in the streets of the once thriving colony. Far more effective than the Russian guns imported via Mon golia, this airtight Chinese boy cott was the forerunner of the tough communism which was to begin taking over China in a few years. In the Chinese section of Can ton I went around to Communist headquarters. The atmosphere was icy. Communist leaders were not talking to a western news man. They only handed out litera ture. It proclaimed the day of China for the Chinese, the expul sion of the white man and the foreigner, and hailed the doctrine of Karl Marx. Significantly there was no praise for Soviet Russia. That was in 1925. When I got S3TfjtyawK.-.Ki.-j'M!j The Bulletin Wednesday, July 10, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W. Chandler, Editor Glenn Cushman, Gen. Manager Jack McDermott, Adv.

Jagan of British Guiana for an estimated $3 mil lion in economic development aid. Jagan wrote Kennedy a 4,000 word letter last May requesting the aid. Official sources said Tuesday that Kennedy rejected the request, in a letter July 3. Capital Report America must progress to racial equality Morse By A. Robert Smith Bulletin Correspondent WASHINGTON Fireworks and Wayne Morse proved a sure fire double feature here at the annual Independence Day eele gration at the foot of the Wash ington ' Monument. Over 200,000 persons showed up, largest crowd in over a decade. If most of his listeners came in a holiday mood, happy to re lax on the grassy slopes while the kids scampered about play fully, the Oregon senator took the occasion to remind the crowd that 187 years after the Declara tion of Independence was signed, we are still struggling over wheth er or not to implement its mean ing for all Americans, whether to fulfill the promise of equality. "We can do no less than test our own dedication and especial ly our own practices against the standard we honor and celebrate every Fourth of July," said Sen. Morse. Referring to the forthcoming civil rights battle in Congress, Morse said "in our legislative haljs you will still hear it said that colored Americans are by na ture inferior and unequal to white Americans. That is not the mes sage of the Declaration of Inde pendence. It tells us that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, includ ing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These are not rights given by government or by indi viduals." The notion of white supremacy still plagues colored citizens who want only to exercise those rights but are rebuffed and often op pressed by those who cling fear fully, even desperately, to their fantasy of racial superiority. When Sen. Morse referred to legislators who preach white su premacy, he was leveling blame where it belongs for it was the white politicians of the South who were largely responsible (or killing the dream o( the 4Ui of July for many other Americans. Lillian Smith, the gifted South ern author, says in her book "Kill ers of the Dream" that had the poor whites been let alone by the politicians things might have been better. "But the politicians as is true today ail over the world need ed the rural people and used them as ruthlessly as Negroes were used when they were need ed. They needed to play voter against voter and all of them against the Negro and they needed the poor whites' approval of acts which the dominant group's more informed minds could not wholly approve. They needed poor whites to he their yes-men. moral henchmen, quiet ing their leaders' uneasy con sciences. Like David playing on his harp to Saul, the rural whites sang the lies the dominant group wanted to hear. . . "It was only the poor white Davids who learned to love these lies which they needed sorely to believe were true. To be 'super ior' to be the 'best people on the earth' with the best 'system' of making a living, because your sallow skin was white and you were 'Anglo-Saxon,' made you forget that you were eaten up with malaria and hookworm; made you forget that you lived in a shanty and ate pot-likker and corn bread, and worked long hours for nothing. "Nobody could take away from you this whiteness that made you and your way of life "super ior.' They could take your house, your job, your fun; they could steal your wages, keep you from acquiring knowledge; they could take your vote or cheat you out of it; they could by arousing your anxieties make you impotent; but they could not strip your white skin off of you. It became the poor white's most precious pos session, a 'charm' staving off ut ter dissolution. . .; and though they did nothing about starved minds and bodies, nothing about health and jobs, demagogues did keep their starved spirits alive here on earth with the drug of white supremacy and Negro-hate which the revivalists never named as 'sins.' " Mrs. Smith cautions that "It is impossible to understand these pitiful delusions of grandeur, clung to by millions of impoverished, ignorant, lonely, confused people," without tracing the causes and effects which spiralled through the centuries. But her descrip tion of the drug of white suprem acy illuminates Sen. Morse's mes sage that federal civil rights laws are needed to outlaw this anti American narcotic. "When men differ In opinion, both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public." Benjamin Franklin. Committee seeking BHS 'Missing 13' To the Editor: The committee planning for the reunion of Bend High School Class of 1949, in 1964, wish to ask your cooperation in helping us lo cate some of our missing class mates. We have exhausted all of the means at our command in attempting to locate the "Missing 13", from our class of 135. Their names are listed below and we are asking anyone who may know the whereabouts of any of our "lost sheep" to contact either of the persons cosigning this letter. The B.H.S. graduates sought are Donna Combs, Mary Hanson, Lovejoy Ingle, Betty Kizer, Win ston Rogers, Joy Sexton, J. W. Rhoads, Ervin Anderson, Mary Baker, Dennis Reese, Richard Strum. George -Walder, Herman Williams. Q Thanks for your cooperation, Robert Lubeke 382-3218 and Arlyne Hargrove 382-6603 Bend, Oregon July 8, 1963 Domino operator protests closing To the Editor: Closed not because of the conduct inside, but it seems that I was held responsible, for t h e outside. Even with two uniformed officers in the hall, I am held responsible. Besides I volunteer ed one or two nights a week for the benefit of the young people, and the uniformed officers are paid. Now I failed in my job, but not because of the backing of the young people, but because of the lack of co-operation and support where we needed it most. Had I have known my respon sibility, I'm sure things would have been different. We have had the nicest group of young people, that ever attend ed dances, in the Domino. Their conduct and every action was the best. Any parent should be real proud of them, they are so re spectful. Adults that stopped by, to look on, could only remark,, how nice it was and how lucky the kids in Bend were to have such a nice place to meet, "Am I Bitter,"' not really as I move my things from the Domino, I'm sure I'll miss the young people dancing, and the fine bands. But I can't hlep but feel that the ones responsible for Its clos ing must have a small sense of guilt, for depriving the young peo ple of their ball. May I thank everyone who participated in its activity, for there fine co-operation. Bea Clausen Bend, Oregon, July 9. 1963.

Maybe it's fun for little kids to run away from home, but it's a lot more fun to sneak back. Some men shake hands so hard it's difficult to get over the grip. Some men eat, drink and be merry because tomorrow they start dieting.
