For nearly a year, there has been considerable self-analysis in Pendleton. Bud Forrester, editor of the East Oregonian, is probably re sponsible for the activity. He started out with a series of interviews of community leaders, and has given some examination to local institu tions, , including the Chamber of Commerce. Even before Forrester started, there had been an intensive discussion on such local problems as the city's airport, its garbage handling, and its police department. This may seem strange to out siders; it docs to us. Pendleton has, among those who do not live there but who are frequent visitors, a fine reputation in Oregon. It is known as a community where things get done. The community - sponsored Pendleton Round-Up is one of the rodeo world's Big Four. Community facilities appear to be, at least on the face, excellent. The city is hos pitable to visitors. It has all the things a town of that size needs. Pendleton has some lulus of community battles. And this is not bad. Community battles, provided they can be ended with any degree of amicability at all, do no harm. They have the good point of indi cating considerable citizen interest in the community and its govern ment. There are few town fights where people don't care, where the town is going downhill. Community problems, and discussion of them, are more likely to Indicate a town Is on the upgrade, rather than the downgrade. , What makes a good town, any way? Why do some towns grow, and prosper, and progress, while others decline? The first and largest factor, of course, is something about which the townspeople can do little. This Is the resource base of the communi ty. You can't have a strong, high income, versatile, farm-based econ omy in the dry plains of North Da kota, for example, where single-crop He owed it all to Lizzie agriculture is a must. You can't produce lumber if trees don't grow. Bend has done an excellent job of broadening its eco nomic base in the past ten years. But progress is slow, and shows little sign of speeding up. Most industries locate near either their source of raw material, or their markets. Communities can work hard at a job, and not show great gains. The second thing which makes for a good town is its political cli mate. This doesn't have anything to do whether people are predominant ly Republican, or Democrats. It does depend upon whether or not they take part in activities where their votes are important. Do they ex press their opinions on a school budget? Do they cast ballots for the elected officials in their city and county governments? Do they choose wisely when faced with a bunch of choices? Another major factor is the economic climate. Are the city's major employers and those who work for them at each other's throats all the time? Or are em ployers generally fair, and employ ees willing to give a day's work for a day's pay? Are businessmen fair with their customers? And vice versa? Still another important thing in this business of building a town is its Intellectual climate. Does it pro vide educational opportunities for its youngsters? Does it have facili ties for those who realize education is a continuing, life-long process? Do citizens of ability take part in. community affairs? Or do they let George do it? There are other things, of course. But a city which can meet these four tests, and their various ramifications, need have no fear it is falling apart. And even it if it not quite up to snuff in one or two, it still will be a pretty good place in which to live. Henry Ford, one of history's most eccentric tycoons and one of the world's few billionaires, was born just 100 years ago in a farmhouse In what Is now Dearborn, Mich. Ford got his real start in June 1003, when 12 investors put up $28,000 in cash to form an automobile company. The Model T car, the foundation of his fortune, came out in 1908. It is fabled In story and song. Called the "Tin Lizzie," it was once described as "skyscraper high, hideously ugly, funereally drab, and whether on a city street or in a farmer's barn it looked somehow pathetic." But in Its simplicity of design, the Model T was a maker's and buy er's delight. Light in weight, simple In construction, it was easy to re pair, and spare parts were soon for sale in every dime store in the land. Henry made 15 million Model T's from 1908 to 1927 at a rate of 1.6 a minute. When, under pressure from the nw designs of Genera.1 Motors, Ford brought out his Model A, the popular song was, "Henry's Made a Lady out of Lizzie." In 1913 Ford had initiated the assembly lino technique, which was to cut the time needed to put to gether a chassis from 14 hours to one hour and 13 minutes. From 1917 to 1927, half of all U.S.-made cars were Fords. When Ford In January 1914 raised the minimum wage in his fac tories to $5 for an eight-hour day, the announcement created a sensa tion. Ford explained his high-wage policy on practical grounds: "I be lieve in the first place, all other considerations aside, our own sales depend in a measure upon the wages we pay. If we can distribute high wages, then that money is going to be spent and it will serve to make storekeepers and distributors and manufacturers and workers In other lines more prosperous, and their prosperity will be reflected In our sales. Country-wide high wages spell country-wide prosperity." Ford was easy to work for, but not to work with." In 1919 he forced the minority shareholders to sell out to him at slightly under 5106 million. The following year he was hit by a buyers' strike, and the Ford plants were shut down. But Ford was soon back In busi ness, and in 192G he was reported keeping a cash balance of $300 mil lion to $350 miillon and to be mak ing $1 million a day. He died in 1947, less than two years after turn ing over active management to his grandson, Henry n. siln missiles. Without testing in the atmosphere, he said, we may not be able to perfect our de fenses against a missile attack. Gen. Curtis Lemay, the Air Force chief, also pointed out that Russia is ahead in building mon ster bombs over 20 megatons, is believed to have reduced a 30 megaton warhead to a size that will fit on their Riant interconti nental missiles. The largest war heads our missiles can lift packs only a 6-megaton punch. Secretary of Defense McNama ra argued, however, that the Uni ted States is ahead of Russia in the development of most nuclear weapons, therefore, a test ban wouid be more to the detriment of Russia. He also claimed that our labor atories have amazing computers which can simulate nuclear explo sions and thus enable our scient ists to continue developing any weapons we may still need. Pre-teen years can be tough ones on parents By David Nydick UPI Staff Writer The pre-teen years often are considered quite difficult. This probably is more true for parents than for the youngsters. Some typical reactions of pre teon children: . The mother of John, 11, sug gested that they go to the movies together on Saturday. She was upset when he said he planned to go swimming with friends. Fred, 12, told his father he wanted to go hiking with his Boy Scout troop instead of on a fish ing trip with the family. His fa ther was surprised since they al ways had so much fun on these trips. Ten-year-old Ann's room 'was messy and he didn't seem to care about her looks. She pre ferred wearing dungarees to dresses. Her parents were dis tressed that she was becoming a tomboy. Difficult To Accept These actions and attitudes are difficult for parents to accept. But the children want to be with their peers. They seem to rebel against the family. They appear to intentionally reject authority just to prove it can be done. Up to this point the child al most completely has been de pendent. He has enjoyed spend ing time with his parents. He has shown only minor signs of inde pendence. Now the change seems to be quite dramatic. The natural reaction of many parents is to block this develop ment. They will either exert more authority or perhaps extend them selves to show their love and af fection. The child reacts by be coming more intent on proving his independence. He becomes stubborn. Parents should realize that this is part of growing up. They too went through this stage of devel opment, and should accept the child for what he is. This doesn't mean to drop all standards. It does mean to administer author ity with understanding. Allow Experiments Allow the child to experiment. He can learn a great deal by trial and error. His curiosity, restlessness, loud behavior, and daring should be guided into safe and satisfying activities. He wants to join clubs and organiza tions. He may even organize a two-man club. He is seeking sta tus and recognition. The pre-teen years surely are trying times for parents. The best approach is to recognize that most of this behavior is normal. Although the child seems to re sent love and attention, he needs them as much as ever. There is no need to permit him to become disrespectful or extremely de manding. He should have the time and opportunity to pursue his private activities. If this is ar ranged, he is more likely to show cooperation with the family. Proper guidance at this time can avoid serious trouble in the future. IRS REPORTS INCOME WASHINGTON (UPD-The In ternal Reverue Service said Wednesday that taxpayers report ed $329.9 billion in adjusted gross income for lost. This was $14.4 billion more than reported In I960, the bureau said, with about 500.000 more persons filing returns in 1961 than the previous year.

Inti ,,..,. ;. . ,.. ;;. v.- ... u-c-cyywi arrrvgretgy By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON It has been true, ever sinre I can remember, that the military always tried to undercut a civilian president's steps toward disarmament and peace. In this, thoy have been completely bipartisan. They have tried to undercut Republican presidents just as much as they tried to undercut Democrats. And they have received plenty of help from the war contractors and defense industries. The success of John F. Kenne dy's first step in the 1,000 mile journey toward peace will, there fore, depend in part on the mili tary. I remember vividly reporting on the activities of William Bald er win S'nnnrpr nnirt tan nftO hv Roth. 4 lchem Steel, Newport News Ship i and other defense contractors, to i disrupt the Coolidge Naval Con ference in Geneva in 1927. The steel companies and shipyards were willing to put up what was then a very large amount of mon ey because they didn't want arms reduction and peace. They prefer red the risk of war. And it was Admiral Joseph Reeves, chief U.S. naval adviser at Geneva, who played ball de liberately and brazenly with lob byist Shearer. Stassen Is Undermined There was also Admiral Hilary P. Jones, adviser to the London Naval Conference during the Hoo ver administration, who came back to testify against any limita tion of 10,000-ton cruisers, though the battle of the Graf Spee during World War II showed that two 6,000-ton British cruisers could run circles around the 10,000-ton Graf Spce and put her out of ac tion. More recently there was the case of Eisenhower's efforts at disarmament, when Harold Stas sen almost had an agreement with the Russians similar to that just initialed by AvereH Harriman. But Ike's own military under mined him. Bulganin and Khrush chev in 1957 appeared willing to go even further than the present test ban agreement, were even discussing the withdrawal of the Red Army from Hungary and oth er satellite countries. But the U.S. military got to Nix on and John Foster Dulles, and Stassen was told to take a back scat. How much the military had to do with sending the U-2 spy plane over Russia just on the eve of a summit conference dedicated to peace has never been definite ly ascertained; it is known that the U-2 started from a U.S. mili tary base in Turkey and refuelled at another U.S. baso in Pakistan. Kennedy's Tactics To guard against either sabo tage or honest differences from his military leaders, President Kennedy and Secretary of De fense McNamnra met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a closed door conference last week. With one possible exception, the pres ent Chiefs of Staff arc considered much more reasonable men, but they have already started leaking individual dissent to friends on Capitol Hill. To JFK and Mc Namara privately, they express ed concern at the refusal of some scientists to guarantee that all at mospheric tests can be detected. They believe our present system is foolproof, but that powerful So viet rockets could get away with testing H-bombs hundreds of thou sands of miles In space. However, most scientists agree that this likelihood is too remote to let it wreck the best chance In years to end the cold war. The Joint Chiefs also expressed fear that the development of our own nuclear weapons would be hampered by a test ban. Gen. Earle Wheeler, the Army chief, warned that Russia Is ahead of the United States in de veloping nuclear-tipped anti-mis- Barbs There would be a lot less juve nile crime if more parents knew how to lose their patience.

Isn't thaf choo-choo exciting. .- WASHINGTON (UPD-The Sen ate Commerce Committee came to the end today of testimony on the railroad work rules dispute with a warning by a management spokesman that the problem can only be solved by President Ken nedy's plan. J. E. Wolfe, enlef railroad ne gotiator, told the Senate commit tee Wednesday night that "posi tive, deep-seated and pervading" differences separated the carriers and the five unions involved. He said it was "highly improbable" the dispute can be settled If Con gress does not approve Kennedy's proposal to turn the matter over to the Interstate Commerce Com mission (ICC). Charges Compulsory Arbitration The House Commerce Commit tee called AFL-CIO President George Meany who has joined the railroad unions In charging the presidential recommendation amounts to compulsory arbitra tion and would destroy free col lective bargaining. The Senate committee today called Lester P. Schoene, Wash ington attorney representing the rail unions, and then planned to close the record of its hearings. Acting Chairman John O. Pastore, D-R.I., said the committee would go Into executive session Aug. 8 to act on the proposed legislation. Wolfe said earlier Wednesday that the carriers had made "some adjustments' In their proposals for settling the dispute and avow ing a nationwide strike, giving rise to hope that give-and-take col lective bargaining might begin. Wolfe said "in a sense" the ad justments could be considered con cessions but he emphasized that the proposals mainly were trans lations into collective bargaining terms of recommendations made earlier by a presidential board. Blames Unions Wolfe said the railroads be lieved further negotiations in the four-year-old dispute would be "fruitless" without the aid of a program such as President Ken nedy proposed. He blamed the un ions for the impasse that brought about the presidential action. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz met in his office Wednes day with railroad management negotiators but had no comment on the session. Wolfe told the Senate commit tee he did not want to say the dispute Is beyond all collective bargaining but "it appears hope less." Asked by Sen. Norris Cot ton. R-N.H., If the carriers would agree to placing the dispute before an entirely new and independent group named by President Kenne dy, none of whom had served be fore, Wolfe said the railroads would "accept it on the spot." Daniel Loomis, president of the Association of American Railroads told the committee "Congress will have to face the Issue and it might as well face it now." How effective will Negro voter sign-up drive be? By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Writer One of the great political mys teries of the day is how effective the Negro voter registration drive will be between now and election day next year. The registration campaign, while mostly undramatlc, is being pushed with quiet determination. Following virtually all major ra cial demonstrations this year, It has been announced by Negro leaders that the program would continue In the form of voter reg istration. Such an announcement was made in Birmingham, Ala., last May following demonstrations of near riot proportions. Some of the results are beginning to come to "When men differ In opinion, both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public." Benjamin Franklin.

(UPI) The Security Council Wednes day approved by an 8-0 vote with the United States, Britain and France abstaining a watered down resolution disciplining Portugal for its policy in its overseas ter ritories. The resolution asks all countries to withhold from Portugal arms, military and other supplies "which would enable It to con tinue its repression of the peoples of the territories under its admin istration." It calls upon Portugal to take steps in those territories .'Jigo la, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea to grant self-deteraina-tkm and independence to the na tives. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson said the United States abstained "primarily because we do not believe the resolution was drafted either in the language or form best calculated to achieve the re sults we all seek as quickly and harmoniously as possible." PLANES FORCED DOWN SCHW EINFURT, Germany (UPI i Six Czechoslovakian sports planes made storm-forced landings on a U.S. Army air field Wednesday. The pilots were al lowed to fly out after questioning. light. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who led the Birmingham civil rights drive announced recently that 2,000 Negroes have been added to , the voter rolls in six weeks, bringing the city's voting Negroes to about 14,000. Used Same Figures The Justice Department used the same figures Wednesday to show how far behind are Bir mingham Negroes in voting sta tus. In a suit filed by the govern ment it was noted that of 116,100 Negroes eligible to vote only 14, 000 are registered. There are 120, 000 white voters among 256,300 eligible, the suit said. George Bellsnyder, chairman on the Jefferson (Birmingham) County board of registrars and a defendant in the case, denies that his county discriminates against voter applicants. He explains that white and Negro applicants are given the same forms, are asked the same questions and hold up their right hands to swear to the same oath. The Justice Department said it had photographed voting records for a year to gather evidence. It charged Negroes were tested strictly, the whites were given the easy way out. Bellsnyder replies: No Grading System "There is no grading system on the test. White and Negro appli cants are graded exactly the same. "The fact is that only in recent months have Negroes attempted to register. The whites have been registering all the time. Now the Negroes are trying to catch up in one year what was 100 years in the making. You can't do it." Alabama Atty. Gen. Richmond Flowers argued last week that some Negro voter applicants had refused to pledge they would bear arms for their country one of the questions asked. He said he thought no one should be allowed to vote who wouldn't do that. As the voter registration drive grows ever stronger, one thing , appears obvious: The Justice De partment will intervene more ag gressively in the coming months. The Birmingham suit was the largest voter discrimination case ever filed. Approval of NW power bill is seen By Marguerite Davis UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) - South Dakota congressmen agreed to day the Pacific Northwest power bill which they regard as selfish almost surely will be passed by the House, probably early next month. The legislation would pave the way for construction of transmis sion lines to carry the Bonneville Power Administration's (BPA) surplus power from the Pacific Northwest to California. It also would give first call on power from the Columbia River dams to industry and private utilities in the area, as well as to publicly owned utilities. This provision is opposed bp members of Congress from Mis souri River Basin (MRB) states, where the 50-year-old law giving publicly owned utilities preference in buying the federal power still is ;t effect. Reps. E. Y Berry and Ben Rei fel, R-S.D., contend this is a first step to abandonment of the time honored preference clause. Their own state is guaranteed first call on half the power pro duced at Big Ben Dam, but they said this is different. Big Ben is only one of six federal dams in the MRB, four of which are located in South Dakota, they said, and the Big Ben provision was intended as a bonus to the state for giving up so much rich, tax-producing land to control the Missouri. Berry, a member of the House Interior Committee which r-p-proved the Senate-passed Pacific Northwest bill, threatened to of fer amendments which would make the same first call prfer ence applicable in the MRB area. He could not do so, however, he told UPI, because of House rules requiring that amendments be pertinent to the bill, but his an nouncement produced a flurry of potest from the midwest Defeat Urged "We urge you most strongly to . . . defeat both the regional pref erence in the Northwest and your own amendment," V. T. Hanlon, manager of the East River Elec trie Co-operative, Madison, S. D., telegraphed. Other protests were received from Basin Electric Consumers' Co-op, Stanton, N.D., and Midwest Electric Consumers Association, Denver, : "Why didn't they come to life sooner," Berry inquired. "They didn't testify against the bill." The National Asociation of REA's took no stand on the bill, he noted, even though spokesmen "told mo they hoped it would be defeated because they didn't want to see the public preference clause chiseled away." "It's a selfish gesture on the part of the Pacific Northwest," Reifel said. "Bonneville produces more power than can be used there, and California needs it, but the BPA won't sell the surplus unless it has this regional pref erence clause." The regional preference Is de signed to attract industry to the area with the lure of cheap pow er, Reifel and Berry said. BPA power sells for 2 1-4 mills, less than half the cost at other fed eral dams, they said. "We're subsidizing the Pacific Northwest to compete with our own efforts to attract industry," Reifel said. "If they're going to get this provision, everyone else will want it too, and I will keep my eyes open for a chance to apply the same principle for the benefit of South Dakota." Berry doubted that the MRB ever could win such an attempt in Congress. "We don't have the votes," he said.
