Restored Colonial Williamsburg is
hallowed ground with meaning
WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia
There are few places in America
where a real feel of the past can be
captured. The historical marker
along the highway, the musty
museum full of artifacts, or the
statue in the park are Important
reminders of those things which
have made us what we are today.
They should be seen when it is pos
sible to do so. But they seem to
have one fault in common. They are
out of context. They are surrounded
and engulfed by the 20th century.
Real appreciation for them is hard
to achieve In such an atmosphere.
Colonial Williamsburg is not
like this. It is the Eighteenth century
capital of old Virginia from its
foundations on up. Admittedly, it
has had the advantage of almost un
limited funds and loving hands to
make it this way. But the effect is
so unique that perhaps other men
of means should be doing similar
things in other historic spots.
Eighteenth - century Williams
burg was the capital of the British
colony of Virginia. Royal governors
lived in the Governor's Palace and
the political and legislative business
of the colony was conducted in the
Capitol. Here George Washington,
Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson
and many other leaders helped lay
the foundations of our government.
It was also the social and cultural
center of the colony. It was as an
important a "cradle of American
history" as any of the others to re
ceive this title. Its glorious era ended
during the Revolutionary War, when
the capital was moved to Richmond
where it would be safer from enemy
attacks. From then on it went down
hill and eventually became almost
obliterated.
The restoration, which is itself
history, began in the 1920's when
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. caught the
enthusiasm of others to rebuild and
preserve the place. Since then ap
proximately $72,000,000 has been
spent to make it as authentic as pos-
It's not that simple
During all the talk about the
state's tax problems, the idea of
making the state's Income tax a
stated percentage of the federal in
come tax has been dusted off for
discussion once more. The general
idea is that an individual, or com
pany, would merely have to compute
one complicated tux; the state's take
could be figured very simply. On the
face of it, It Is an attractive system.
It would save trouble for the tax
payers, and money for the state.
But It wouldn't work.
Congress appears ready, or will
be ready in a few months, to make
some rather substantial cuts in fed
eral Income tax rates. If Oregon
were operating on the suggested
system, Oregon revenues would
automatically decline, even though
the federal legislature would not
consider Oregon needs or problems
In setting the new rates. Different
forms of Income are treated In a
different manner by the state and
federal governments Capital gains
siblc.
No stone has been unturned to
transport the visitor back 200 years.
It is a living, working town with
real people living in real houses.
These houses are for the families of
the large staff required to care for
the 130 acre area. A few of the "pri
vate" houses are open to the public
and are not lived in. All of the hous
es, however, plus the public build
ings are as they were in colonial
times. It is hard to watch the black
smith at work at his forge and not
wonder when George Washington
wiU come riding up to claim his jicw
set of horseshoes. It is harder still
to keep back a great feeling of emo
tion when one of the expert, learned
guides, dressed in the costume of the
period, says that Thomas Jefferson,
or Patrick Henry ale dinner at that
table, used that silver, or sat in that
chair.
Some may feel such a great ex
penditure of money just to bring to
life an old town, is a waste. It isn't
at all. Just so much can be put on
the pages of a history book, and
some of that is dull and uninterest
ing. Students so often have no ap
preciation for their heritage because
they take It for granted or have not
been emotionally stirred as to its
meaning. A Williamsburg situation
has an appeal that no other method
of presentation can touch. Therefore
it will be remembered and discussed
with pleasure by all who sec it.
Colonial Williamsburg is avail
able to far too few people in this
country, just because it is so far
away from most of them. And the
Rockefeller millions cannot restore
all the important historical areas in
the 50 states. But it's too bad it
can't be done.
The organization in Williams
burg carrying out the restoration is
dedicated to the purpose "That the
Future May Learn from the Past".
It is certainly giving the Future
every opportunity to do just that.
provisions are one example.
Such a proposal is, as noted, at
tractive. But before It could be
adopted Oregon would have to over
haul its complete income tax struc
ture to conform lo federal laws and
regulations of the Internal Revenue
Service. And it would have to be
able either to withstand severe
changes in the amount collected, or
to change the rates with consider
able rapidity. The latter is complete
ly impossible under the Oregon con
stitution, with the possibility that
any tax measure would be referred,
and probably defeated.
US. stiffening
its position
on colonialism
By Lyle C. Wilson
' UPI Stiff Writer
The United States seems lo
be stiffening its backbone
against the pressure of African
and Asian members of the
United Nations for the instant
independence of colonial peo
ples regardless of their fitness.
There was some evidence of
this in mid-summer when the
United States finally stood up
to be counted against Afro
Asian demands that South Afri
ca be expelled from the U.N.
sponsored International Labor
Organization.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
George L. Weaver was U.S.
delegate to the ILO meeting in
Geneva. He liked the idea that
South Africa should be expelled
and announced that he would
urse the U.S. government to
promote the expulsion. This pop
off by an official of the U.S.
Labor Department did consider
able violence to established
U.S. policy, but was not in
stantly repudiated. This may
have been calculated to win the
applause of newly - born Negro
nations in Africa and, there
fore, to be of some political
value in the United States.
Williams Repudiates Remark
G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams,
assistant secretary of state for
African affairs, finally repudi
ated Weaver in a statement
made at Monrovia, Liberia, in
which he said the United States
would oppose exclusion of South
Africa from the United Na
tions. More significantly, there fol
lowed a London dispatch re
porting that U.S. Assistant Sec
retary of State Harlan Cleve
land had been talking to Brit
ish officials about colonialism
and the United Nations. Cleve
land and the British agreed
that extremists had taken over
the U.N. special committee on
colonialism and, further, that
this extremist attitude was hin
dering the emancipation of co
lonial peoples.
Cleveland and the British
agreed that extremist pressures
must be resisted. It was about
time, too, that the British and
Americans got together to con
sider where the Afro-Asian ex
tremists were leading them.
Signs U.N. Resolution
There was the unbelieveable
U.N. assembly resolution on co
lonialism for which the United
States voted in November 1961.
The resolution demanded inde
pendence across the board
everywhere except in the Soviet
empire of captive nations. The
believe-it-or-nut aspect of this
resolution was in a paragraph
staling that "inadequacy of po
litical, economic, social or ed
ucational preparedness should
never serve as a pretext for de
laying independence."
The United States voted for
I hat resolution which seems to
say colonial people must be in
dependent, ready or not and re
gardless of the fact that they
may need to be carried on the
backs of U.S. taxpayers.
Times have changed, how
ever, which may be encourag
ing to taxpayers. And it must
be cheering to all persons com
mitted to defend the United Na
tions against complaints of
some American citizens that it
is a dangerous fraud. Now
comes a news story of Oct. 31.
It related that the United
States had proposed in the
United Nations that South
Africa grant the right of self
determination to the people of
South West Africa as promptly
as the people of South West
Africa are capable of freely
and responsibly exercising that
rif lit.
That is an absolute switch of
the position the United States
took on the Nov., 1961 vote to
grant independence to all
hands, readv or not.

Morse may block classroom bill if House gOOO Cnance TOr
doesn't approve vocational education new diSQSterS
By Yvonne Franklin
Bulletin Correspondent
WASHINGTON - Sen. Wayne
Morse has threatened to block
Senate approval of the confer
ence report on the $1.2 billion
college classroom construction
bill until House conferees agree
to come to terms on the Voca
tional Education bill.
Administration sources say
there are enough Senate votes
to pass the bill if only Morse
would agree to allow it to come
up for a vote. The House passed
the final bill last week and it
needs Senate approval to go to
the White House. The Senate is
currently tied up on the foreign
aid bill. However a conference
report is "privileged" and can
be brought up at any time dur
ing the debate.
Morse is chairman of the
Senate-House conference on the
Vocational Education Bill, but
after serving his ultimatum last
week ie postponed another con
ference meeting until next week.'
The Vocational Education Bill
is a major breakthrough to up
date such education to prepare
young people for the changing
job market in business and
industry, looking toward new
methods of training to meet the
challenge of automation.
Since its inception in 1917 the
program has been geared to an
agrarian culture and the federal-state
funds have been spent
primarily for education in ag
riculture and home economics.
Both versions of the bill allow
for a shift to meet the change
to an urban society, yet allows
for continued study in agri
cultural subjects, broadening the
base to include food processing
and occupations related to ag
riculture. It is estimated that
only 10 per cent of youth now
on farms will make their living
in agriculture in the future.
Morse and his committee
chairman, Lister Hill of Ala
bama, are in conflict with Rep.
Edith Green and other House
conferees from urban areas,
over the method of allocation of
funds. The House bill contains
a new formula, allocating mon
ey based on the student pop
ulation in the states.
The Senate bill contains the
traditional allocation of money
based on the per capita income
formula, which has been used
in all previous education bills
and which favors the poorer
southern states.
For instance, the Senate bill
would give Alabama $2,369,000
the House version $500,000 less.
Mrs. Green contends that Ore
gon would lose money using the
Senate formula as would west
ern and northern states with
heavy urban growth. Oregon
would receive $868,318 under the
House formula, $845,300 under
the Senate, or $23,016 less using
the Senate method.
The House bill calls for spend
ing $450 million per year for
four years and $180 million a
year thereafter, and the Senate
would spend $702 million per
year for four years and $243
million a year thereafter.
The House conferees maintain
Washington Merry-go-round .
that the southern states such as
Alabama are losing population
to the West and the large urban
centers of the North due to the
migration of poorly educated
and unskilled Negro and white
rural people.
They say this is a major
cause of school troubles in these
large cities such as Chicago
which has over 50 per cent
Negro enrollment and Washing
ton, D.C. whose Negro enroll
ment in the last decade has
risen from 33 per cent to 85 per
cent.
They say that the overcrowd
ed northern schools, paralleling
rising joblessness for young
people and the population ex
plosion itself are causing
mounting discontent nationwide
in the cities.
Mrs. Green pointed to Negro
discontent in Portland over al
leged inferior schools and rising
juvenile delinquency as exam
ples of accelerating frustrations
in the big cities over unsolved
problems, many of them cen
tered in the schools. She said
her position on changing the
formula was based on this grow
ing need of the cities.
Morse's refusal to meet with
House conferees until the bitter
end of Congress last year con
tributed to the defeat of the 1962
higher education bill according
to other conference spokesmen.
This could jeopardize the fate
of this year's bill if the lack of
agreement over the Vocational
Educational Bill drags into the
holiday season.
It's Anorher World
Generous Sam cuts own
throat in steel subsidies
By Jack Anderson
WASHINGTON More de
tails can now be told about the
foreign-aid fiasco in steel how
American generosity has built
up foreign steel industries, put
ting dozens of our own mills
out of production and thousands
of workers out of work.
By unofficial count, 179 for
eign steel plants have received
American loans or grants since
World War II. This aid has en
abled them to install machines
and adopt techniques more mo
dern than our own.
Thus the U.S. steel industry
through its lax payments n 0 t
only has helped to finance its
foreign competitors but has ob
ligingly provided them with
betler equipment.
No wonder the American
share of the world's steel out
put had dropped from 46 per
cent in 1950 to 25 per cent to
day. U.S. steel products have
been pushed out of two-thirds
of their former markets, caus
ing a sharp production slump.
Foreign mills built at Ameri
can expense are now turning
out wire and rod so cheaply,
for instance, that imports have
captured 30 per cent of the U.
S. market. Even steel plate, the
bread-and-butter of the indus
try, is beginning to roll in from
abroad.
Steel Frankenstein
Typical example: With t h e
best of intentions, Uncle Sam
helped to rebuild Japan's war
wrecked steel industry until it
is now taking customers away
from U.S. mills.
From 1955 until 1960, 10 great
Japanese steel works received
foreign aid grants amounting to
$155,300,000. Nine more mills
were granted Export - Import
Bank loans, totaling $121,100,
000. The Yawata Iron and Steel
Company, for example, receiv
ed a $5.'300.000 grant in 1955, a
$26,000,000 loan in 1957. another
$20,000,000 grant in 1959. and
still another $26,000,000 loan in
19C2. lis blast furnaces are now
producing more steel than
most American mills.
Even as French President
Charles de Gaulle was tighten
ing the screws on American
products. Uncle Sam doled out
four separate loans totaling $6,
556,000 to France's giant Union
Sud Du Nord Steel Works in
1960-61. A smaller $66,000 grant
went to Miferma, another
French steel company.
Dictator Franco got $59,513.
000 in grants for nine Spanish
steel plants, the largest an $18,
000.000 grant for the Altos
Homos Viscaya Works in 1961.
The Empresa Nac Siderurgica
Mills received several Ameri
can grants, the latest a $6,600,-

Steel For Reds
The only Communist country
whose steel production got a U.
S. boost was Yugoslavia. Uncle
Sam granted t h e Yugoslavs
$15,000,000 to purchase a U.S.
steel mill in 1961. Earlier, Yu
goslavia's Niksic Iron Works
was given $5,610,000 in Ameri
can counterpart funds.
The largest single grant was
arranged in 1959 by Tom Dew
ey, the two-time GOP presiden
tial candidate, for Turkey's Ere
gli Steel Mill. Amount $129,600,
000. The loan was granted, inci
dentally, while Vance Brand
was the government's develop
ment loan chief. He promptly
retired from the loan fund to
become a high-paid consultant
and later a director of Koppers,
the company that did the engi
neering on the Trukish steel
plant.
Even our propserous northern
neighbor, Canada, once receiv
ed a $5,700,000 Export - Import
loan to aid her steel industry.
Around the world, foreign
steel mills have been subsidiz
ed by the American taxpayers.
Unhappily, the American de
sire to better the world has
reached the point that we are
in danger of crippling the goose
which lays the golden eggs.

High school
students proud
of additions
By Elizabeth Chenoweth
November 12, 1963 was the
first day of classes for the Bend
Senior High School students in
the new addition to the high
school. After having classes at
the Presbyterian Church, in the
balconies of the gym, and in
the lobby of the auditorium, one
can see why we teenagers were
so excited over the opening.
Students should be very proud
of this new addition. When I
say proud, I mean really feel
it and not just say it, because
after the thrill wears off, there
will be nothing but pride and
graditude to hold our interest in
keeping the addition in good
shape. Every teenager up at the
high school has a responsibil
ity to the school, to the stu
dents of later years, and to the
people that have made the con
struction possible.
I am sure that at the present
time the students are so excited
about the new classrooms that
they will be very careful of
them. I am also sure that prac
tically every teenager in o u r
high school, whether he says it
nor not, really feels a graditude
to every person involved with
the construction of the new ad
dition. I hope that this enthusi
asm doesn't wear off. It is
every teenager's duty lo see that
it doesn't! Remember: School
spirit doesn't just apply to yell
ing at games, but also in pre
serving the high school that
does so much for us!

Notes from the foreign news
cables:
DISASTER:
The sort of disaster thai
killed 161 persons in a railwaj
collision between Tokyo and
Yokohama could happen agair
at any lime. There is no waj
to prevent it, short of bringing
the Japanese economy to i
halt. The Japanese Nations
Railway Corporation runs mor(
than 200 trains on a singli
track each day. About 2,401
trains arrive and depart fron
Tokyo Station daily. Even i
slight error can cause disaster
Japan Times editor Kazu
shige Hirasawa capsulled reac
tion with the comment: "Th
situation stems from the fac
that Japan's transportation ca
pacity is lagging behind the ex
pansion of her economy and thi
concentration of population ii
big cities." It's the same stor;
with highways, bridges, har
bors. sewage, water supply. Un
til these catch up, Japan i:
going to go right on havinj
spectacular and tragic acci

TOUGH TALK:
The United States is handini
out some tough talk to its West

will be more of it this weel
when U.S. Undersecretary o
Stale George W. Ball talks ti
the NATO Permanent Counci
and to the Organization foi
Economic Cooperation and De
velopment (OECD) in Paris
The United States feels thi
Europeans are granting to
easy credit terms to Commu
nist bloc nations and in effec
underwriting their economies ir
a rush for orders. Among those
opposing the U.S. position ii
Britain. Britain, backed by sev
eral of the smaller NATO mem
bers, holds there is no reasor
for further limitations of trad
ing with the Communists.
THE WHEAT DEAL:
The U.S.-Soviet wheat deal 1:
expected to have repercussion:
in Japan. One analysis predict:
it will set off a rise in shipping
rates and commodity prices
meaning the Japanese will havi
to pay more for the food thej
eat and the aw materials the;
process. Japan's balance o
payments will suffer. On thi
other hand, under-develope
countries making more mone;
on their raw materials will b
able to buy more manufacture!
products from developed coun
tries such as Japan. Some o
the pain resulting from U.S
"Buy American" measures wil
