Washington is a long way away, but
civil rights tests made here, too
" An estimated 200,000 persons
made a civil rights march on Wash
ington yesterday. The public demon
stration was designed to put pres
sure on Congress for passage of
strong civil rights legislation this
year, before members pack up for
their annual recess. In spite of a
number of fearful prognostications,
the demonstration was a very peace
ful one. Washington police arrested
only two persons, neither of them
demonstrators. One was a leader of
the discredited American Nazi
party; the other was a youth who
tried to grab a sign from a marcher.
; Washington (D.C., that is) Is a
long way from Oregon. Yet a num
ber of civil rights tests have been
carried on in Oregon this year, on
a very quiet basis. Some such tests
have been made in Central Oregon
rt'tail establishments and motels,
with, we are happy to report, no
reported problems having arisen at
all. Half a dozen small groups, some
Iflegro and some mixed white and
Negro, have visited various Central
Oregon establishments during the
summer, and have asked to be
served. So far as we have been able
to determine, none have been re
fused or harassed.
i It probably will be difficult In
the future to assess the results of
yesterday's march on Washington.
Certainly at this time such an ap
praisal is impossible. Reactions were
about as expected from members of
Congress. Those Congressmen who
favor civil rights legislation thought
the march was a fine thing. Those
who oppose such action decried the
march.
Officially, note was taken in
Congress only of the wording of an
Invitation to members of Congress
to attend the' ceremonies at the
Lincoln ' Memorial. The invitation
said Congressmen were invited to
attend "to hear the demands of your
constituents for jobs and freedom."
The word "demand," as might have
been expected, offended the sensi
bilities of some Southern members
of Congress. '
From this distance, at least, the
word does not seem too strong. The
Negro is entitled to the same treat
ment as any other American. He is
not, as some of his supporters claim,
entitled to preferential treatment
' because of the color of his skin; he
is entitled to fair treatment. After
a hundred years as second class
citizens, there is no doubt a great
number of Negroes have become
very restive. They feel they are on
the move. Results do not come rap
idly enough to please them. Thus'
the increasing push for civil equali
ty. These are "demands," and they
are being made with increasing fre
quency and force.
As "demands" they are certain
ly within the rights of Negroes to
make. The granting of the "de
mands" will not settle the entire
problem, a fact which is apparent
to many supporters of the Negro
in this country. Part of the Negro's
problem lies with the limited op
portunities which have been afford
ed him, particularly in education.
And it will take nearly a generation
to bring Negroes up to the educa
tion level of their white brothers. It
is a process which cannot be done
quickly, but which once done should
remove much of the remaining stig
ma in our national treatment of the
Negro In America.
'But it's all a big mistake'
The new "hot line" opening on
Sunday, Sept 1, between the White
House and Kremlin Is an admission
by both sides that this age of nu
clear deterrents has a hair-trigger.
Events attain a momentum of their
own a, phenomenon known in
military parlance as "escalation."
Unless leaders have a means of
quick communication, the risk of
war occurring by accident or mis
calculation Is extreme.
During the Cuban crisis of Oc
tober 19612, there was a serious de
lay In getting communications back
and forth between Washington and
Moscow. On one or two occasions,
President Kennedy told a news con
ference last Dec. 14, it was necessary
to rely on open broadcasts of mes
sages, rather than on use of coding
procedures that take a number of
hours. The President concluded, "In
a nuclear age, speed Is very desir
able." Premier Khrushchev must have
concurred because on April 5 the
Soviet Union announced at the 17
nation Geneva Disarmament Con
ference that it was "ready to agree"
to having a special emergency link
with Washington without waiting
for broader disarmament agreement.
The United States had first pro
posed the "hot line" In its draft out
line of a disarmament treaty a full
year earlier. But most of the credit
for the innovation should go to a
newspaper Sunday supplement
(Parade), which several years ear
lier started drumming up public sup
port for a Kremlin-White House
emergency telephone link.
Under terms of the final accord,
signed June 20 in Geneva, a tele
printer will operate 2-1 hours a day
for such emergency situations as
may arise. In case of interruption of
a wire circuit, transmission of mes
sages will be via a new standby
radio circuit. Both means are viewed
as much safer and surer than a di
rect telephone hookup. In his book
On Thermonuclear War (19G0), Her
man Kahn warned that proposals
for establishing "prewar" communi
cation channels would have to be
examined for the possibility that
they might be exploited. For ex
ample, the enemy might gain crucial
minutes in a sneak attack by call
ing up and announcing that several
test rockets had been fired off
course by mistake. But President
Kennedy already has stated: "If he
(Khrushchev) fires his missiles at
us, It is not going to do any good for
us to have a telephone at the Krem
lin . . . and ask him whether it is
really true."
French doubt
anything will
come of talks
By Phil Newiom
UPI Staff Wrlttr
Notes from the foreign news
cables:
No Deal:
The French, who have refused
to sign the partial nuclear test
ban treaty, now also are rnnfi
dent that nothing will come of
U.S. and Soviet talks aimed at
setting up observer posts on both
sides of the Iron Curtain frontier
in Germany to guard against sur
prise attacks. A first round of
discussion in the NATO council
last week showed West Germany
and France cool to the idea. Sev
eral smaller NATO members are
against any kind of direct Washington-Moscow
deal.
The Mideast:
The French also see little seri
ous danger that the latest out
break between Israel and Syria
will grow into a major conflict.
They believe the Syrians and the
Iraqis are interested mainly in
pressuring U.A.R. President Ca
rnal Abdcl Nasser into showing
his solidarity with the Baath
controlled governments in Da
mascus and Baghdad with which
he has little real sympathy.
Spanish Bases:
Madrid expects developments
shortly in U.S. and Spanish nego
tiations over U.S. military bases
in Spain. The present 10-year
pact ends Sept. 23, Spain is be
lieved pressing for U.S. political
support in a bid to enter the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
tion. But Madrid observers are
speculating that U.S. missile
strength has reduced the import
ance of Spanish air bases to the
Strategic Air Command and that
the United States will not be will
ing to bid too high for them. In
volved besides the air bases are
the Polaris submarine base at
Rota on the southwestern coast
and numerous smaller installa
tions including posts for aircraft
control and warning systems spot
ted throughout the nation.
Red China Shakeup:
Diplomatic reports out of Red
China suggest that a major
shakcup is in the making for the
Peking government. Most likely
to be affected, it is said, arc
those who map and guide Red
China's foreign policy not be
cause of what they did but how
they did it. These observers ex
pect the Red Chinese hard line
to be maintained but without
some of the diplomatic crudities
that have become a trademark of
many Chinese Communist diplo
mats. Japan-Korea Relations.
Tokyo expects the South Ko
rean military government to step
up efforts for the resumption of
normal diplomatic relations with
Japan before the promised presi
dential and national assembly
elections in Kprea this fall. Suc
cessful conclusion of the pro
tracted normalization talks be
tween the two countries would be
a feather in the cap of the mili
tary government and an ac
complishment well worth exploit
ing in its election campaign.
Over 500 may
die on weekend
in accidents
By United Press International
The National Safety Council has
estimated that as many as 520 per
sons may die and 21,000 suffer
Injuries in Labor Day weekend
trafiic.
Last year's Labor Day weekend
claimed 501 lives in traffic acci
dents, a record for the 78-hour
period.
The council estimated Wednes
day the total number of traffic
deaths during the three-day holi
day would ranee between 4.10 and
520. From 17,000 to 21.000, it said,
would be injured during the holi
day, which begins at 6 p.m.
(local time) Thursday and ends
at midnight Monday.
Howard Pyle, former Arizona
governor and council president,
said Labor Day Ihis year follows
two summer holidays that set rec
ords for traffic deaths. Memorial
Day and Independence Day.
"On these two long weekends
alone only eight days more
than 1,000 Americans were killed
on our highways. All of us can
and must exercise greater cau
tion if we are to make sure this
frightening performance is not
repeated over Labor Day," he
said.

They sure enjoy living like capitalists niilestone Tilling
By Draw Pearson
VARNA, Bulgaria Communist
leaders do not object to living in
capitalistic surroundings, and To
dor Zhivkov, Secretary of t h e
Communist party of Bulgaria and
Premier of that country, has a
summer place on the Black Sea
which compares with Tito's pri
vate island in the Adriatic and
Khrushchev's summer resting
spot on the Black Sea.
All three, however, share these
private estates with other Com
munist leaders. Anyone high up
in the party is welcome.
Tito's island is the resort of over
a hundred wives, children, and
top echelon of Yugoslavia, has an
attractive swimming beach wired
for sharks, and a series of beau
tiful macadam roads winding
through lanes of olive trees and
fields full of deer and pheasants.
Khrushchev's Black Sea resort
has two guest houses for friends
and is surrounded by pine trees.
If anything, it is more rugged
than Tito's island. Zhivkov of Bul
garia has taken over a palace,
once occupied by the kings of Bul
garia which stretches in beautiful
lawns and well - kept terraces
down to the Black Sea. Its sweep
to tho sea is reminiscent of the
home with gold bathroom fixtures
once occupied by Joseph P. Ken
nedy, father of the President,
which swept down to the Potomac
just outside Washington.
At the bottom of the rolling
lawn are two bathing beaches,
used by both the servants and
party leaders who vacation at the
one-time royal palace.
Zhivkov does not live in the pal
ace himself, but In an apartment
house to one side, apparently the
one-time servants quarters for the
Bulgarian royal family. Other va
cationing officials live there too.
Another Khrushchev
The Bulgarian prime minister
is a man of 52, with twinkling
eyes and a contagious smile that
reminds you somewhat of Nikita
Khrushchev. He speaks with the
same frankness as Khrushchev
and has been his firm supporter
in the policy of co-existence.
This policy was not fixed with
out considerable debate inside the
ranks of the Bulgarian Commun
ist party, and for some time
up until 1957 Bulgaria clung to
the No. 1 disciple of Stalin, Vulko
Chervenkov. Finally, after hectic
and prolonged debate, and after
Khrushchev made a personal vis
it to Bulgaria in May 1962, to give
his personal endorsement to Zhiv
kov, the latter emerged as the
undisputed leader of Bulgaria.
He has followed a thorough de
Stalinization program, elevated
new and younger party leaders,
and lined up 100 per cent with
Khrushchev agaipst Red China.
Even recently, the Communist
party was shown not to be the
monolithic organization the West
considers it to be. When Russia
and Yugoslavia patched up their
relations in December 1962, Pre
mier Zhivkov followed with a
trip to see Tito in January. This
was supposed to mark a friendly
reapproachment between these
two Communist neighbors, long
bitter enemies.
But no Bulgairan statement of
friendship followed. The Bulgar
ian Communists were bitterly div
ided. Finally the Yugoslav am
bassador called at the foreign of
fice to ask why the delay. Only
then was the statement of friend
ship issued.
Revolutionaiy ! Profession
When I asked Premier Zhivkov
what he had done befo.e he got
into politics, he replied: "For
twelve years I was a printer.
Then in 1938 I took up revolution
as a profession. I was most unre
liable and dangerous.
"I was imprisoned by the then
Prime Minister, Georgiev, and
severely tortured. Later, how
ever, we became good friends and
he came around to our way of
thinking. In 1945 he even signed
the order expropriating private
property, including his own pri
vate property."
This and other questions, espec
ially the problem of peace or war
with Red China, the United
States, and Russia were discuss
ed quite frankly by the head of
this energetic Communist coun
try, as will be set forth in a sub
sequent column.
Significance seen for Oregon
Rep. Green hopeful Senate will give nation's
colleges, universities nice Christmas present
By Yvonno Franklin
Bullatin Staff Writer
WASHINGTON Rep. Edith
Green, happy with the victory of
tho higher education bill which
she recently maneuvered through
the House with bipartisan help,
is "hopeful" the Seante will act
this session and give "a nice
Christmas present to our colleges
and universities."
"This bill has very special sig
nificance to Oregon," said Mrs.
Green in an interview. "We have
heard from every college presi
dent in Oregon regarding their
expanding enrollments, their ur
gent needs, and the cuts made in
the higher education budget by
the Oregon Legislature this year."
The $1.2 billion construction bill,
similar to one which passed the
House last year and later defeat
ed because of religious antagon
isms, again provides both grants
and loans to public and private
colleges.
Grants to private colleges were
the sticking point with the Senate
conferees last year, and Senate
sponsored scholarships were not
acceptable to House Republicans
who joined with southern Demo
crats to kill the bill when Mrs.
Green brought it back to the
House for a final vote.
The higher education bill Is but
part of an omnibus education bill
on which the education subcom
mittee of Senator Wayne Morse
has concluded hearings. There
are no indications as to whether
the committee plans to act this
session.
"Title II of this bill has sig
nificance to those of us who feel
that the graduate research cen
ter in Portland is so important,"
said Mrs. Green, "not only to re
tain a higher percentage of our
young people within the state to
do their graduate work, but it is
important in terms of attracting
space-age industry.
"I very carefully wrote into this
bill a provision that federal funds
could be used for a cooperative
graduate center," she continued,
"and this provision, coupled with
funds that apparently are now
available, should go a long way
toward starting a center of acad
emic excellence at the graduate
level in Portland."
Mrs. Green called attention to
the present enrollment of over 3'i
million sutdents in the nation's
2100 public and private colleges
and universities. She said that by
1965 there will be a 46 per cent
increase and by 1970 over 90 per
cent. She repeated what experts
before her education committee
have repeatedly testified: the col
leges now face an "enrollment
crisis" and need federal help.
In one letter, Oregon Chancel
lor of Higher Education R. E.
Lieuallen, said that the estimated
enrollment by 1970 in Oregon was
expected to be 100.000 students.
Mrs. Green said that to meet the
on-rushing wave of students,
buildings need to be planned for
now, because "they aren't built
overnight." But she saw hope in
the crisis.
"This crisis also cannot be con
sidered other than a tremendous
national asset," she said, "be
cause the availability of this large
a number of talented young peo
ple means that we can, if we try,
provide the highly trained per
sonnel for our space program, for
our defense requirements, and
for our civilian economy."
Much of the debate in the House
centered on manpower need's for
the age of technology as well as
the constitutionality of aid to pri
vate colleges. In answer to ques
tions about aid to private schools,
Mrs. Green and other members
pointed out that over two-thirds
of the colleges and universities
in the United States are private,
and some have received aid from
the government for over 100
years.

our appreciation to the many peo
ple who have made this past sum
mer the best year we have ever
had. The Bulletin has given excel
lent coverage of all the activities.
Miss Lilja has again given free
time for story-telling which was
enjoyed by the youngsters. Junior
helpers, Susie Arbow, Bobbie
Shields, Judy Bolton, Susan
Simpson, Linda Williams, and Bca
Kilgore had given many free
hours to the program, Bca com

We wish to express our thanks
also to Vida Ray, Esther Kendrick
and Elsie Simpson who took pic
tures and judged the costumes
for Hobo Day at Allen.
The Deschutes Public Library
lent many books to each play
ground every week for the chil
dren to read.
Last but not least we wish to
thank the many parents who
helped transport the children to
the pool, the parents who helped
with the float preparation and to
all the parents who sent their
children day after day to the play
grounds. We wish to thank the School
Board for lending us the facilities
at Allen school and also for the
assistance given by the janitor
Mr. Ivy and Mrs. Hawes.

Bend, Oregon,
Aug. 27, 1963
The breakdown is, out of 2100
colleges and universities, 1300 are
private: of these, 482 are Protes
tant, 335 Catholic; 40 per cent of
the students attend private col
leges and 60 per cent public; the
700 public colleges include junior
colleges.
Mrs. Green did not want to talk
about the religious controversy
but pulled out some statistics she
has used many times to show the
extent to which the government
has financially aided private col
leges in the past, beginning hi the
days when private, church-related
colleges were named land
grant colleges and given federal
aid, down to the present day pro
grams of federal grants and loans
for government research.
The higher education bill auth
orizes assistance to institutions in
financing the construction, rehab
ilitation or improvement of need
ed academic facilities, ie, class
rooms, laboratories and libraries.
The bill authorizes money for a
3-year program so that after that
time Congress may review the
program.
The bill covers both public and
private colleges and includes un
dergraduate institutions, junior
colleges, technical institutes,
graduate schools and cooperative
graduate centers.
It authorizes $230 million an
nually in grants for 3 years for
construction of undergraduate
academic facilities. About $50 mil
lion of this is earmarked for jun
ior colleges and technical insti
tues. It authorizes $120 million an
nually in loans, to be repaid with
in 50 years.
The bill provides $25 million for
1964 and $60 million for 1965 and
1966 for establishment or improve
ment of graduate schools and co
operative graduate centers.
The federal share cannot ex
ceed one-third of the cost. State
commissions will determine prior
ities in allocating funds, and the
colleges must prove need and that
the money is needed because of
expanding enrollments.
By Dick West
UPI Staff Writar
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
vigilance exercised by the Fed
eral Trade Commission in pro
tecting us consumers from a fate
worse than finagling is sometimes
awesome to behold.
A majority of its cases, It is
true, are more or less routine,
involving, say, a fur dealer who
puts a mink label on a muskrat,
or a line of waterproof watches
that cannot withstand a heavy
dew.
But every now and then, the
commission turns up a landmark
case that cuts through to the very
fibers of commercial integrity. .
One such case was its far
reaching decision that when a
shaving cream company demon
strates its product by shaving
sandpaper in a television com
mercial, it ought to use real
sandpaper.
Drops Another Bomb
The impact of that decision
was still reverberating in the dis
tant corners of the world when
the commission dropped another
blockbuster.
This time it held that when a
shaving cream company is dem
onstrating the superiority of its
product over an unnamed brand
in a television commercial, it
ought to use real shaving cream.
Recently, after a period of rel
ative calm, the commission post
ed yet another milestone. It ruled
that when a plate glass com
pany is demonstrating the trans
parency of its product in a tele
vision commercial, it ought to
use real glass.
These three cases undoubtedly
will stand as monuments, but
even so they failed to pre
pare me for what was coming
next. The commission now is con
sidering a case that cuts through
to the warp and woof of Western
society. Particularly the woof.
A final ruling is not expect
ed for some time, but the impli
cations of it made me gasp. If
the initial allegation is upheld, it
may force a book publisher to re
tract a blurb.
Profound Effect
Do you catch the significance
of that? It could have the most
profound effect on the literary
world since the invention of the
four letter word.
Should this case establish a
precedent, the blurbs that appear
on the dust jackets and else
where would have to bear some
relation to the contents of the
book.
No longer would we pick up a
bock blurbed as "sinful . . . siz
zling . . . sexy" and discover that
it is a history of the Brownie
Scout movement.
Such a policy would, as you
can see, take all of the fun out
of book buying. Who wants to buy
a book if you already know
what's in it?
