" was just felling Khrushchev, 'Our differences I' pre only temporary'" Washington Merry-go-round Lodge hints dramatic break with LBJ over Vietnamese Certainly Bond Measure 1 isn't direct tax, but tax money will pay the bill There Is an area where the r "Friends of Higher Education" citi T zens committees supporting Bond Measure 1 should bo careful. i A nromotion sheet nut out by " this group concerning Measure 1, which would provide $30 million for J; buildings for higher education, says "Not a Tax." '4- In one part of the promotion sheet there is this: "Q. Does Bond Measure 1 propose an Increase in taxes? A. No." This was interesting to those of us who have wondered where the money was going to come from. Cer Utainly this is going to be the ques- tion when It comes time to vote on the issue May 15. ' To publically state that Bond T Measure 1 is not a tax and will not ;' increase taxes is a bit misleading. This could do proponents of the . measure some damage. I" It is true that Measure 1 will I be Oregon's first attempt to finance classrooms through bonds. Until now '- higher education has been financed ;- on a pay-as-you-go basis, appropriat ,'. Ing from the general fund each bien ; nium the money needed to build buildings. This could have resulted in a direct and immediate increase in taxes, had the $30 million been added to the state budget this bien nium. Through bonding, the debt will be stretched over a 30-year retire ment period. Taxes will not be af fected, at least immediately. Still, the money has to be repaid and tax money for the most part will have to be used to pay the bonds off. The 30-year retirement of the bonds will mean that the state will have to pay principal and interest of $3,300,000 per biennium. The mo ney will come out of the state gener al fund. Most of this money comes from taxes of one sort or another. The "Friends of Higher Educa tion" and others working for Mea sure 1 are on the right side. There is no question that unless higher education and the community col leges get this money, educational programs will be set back by years. Oregonians have generally backed education, except for the tax protest vote last fall. We would ex pect them to vote for the bonds on May 15. There will be some eye brows raised however, if the "Friends of Higher Education" per sist in their choice of words. Something for all of us Brian Sternberg couldn't be call ed a quitter. Sternberg is the University of Washington pole vaulter who fell : while exercising on a trampoline last summer and was paralyzed from the neck down as a result. Just prior to the accident, ho had set a world's pole vault record. Sternberg was an expert on the trampoline. To maintain his muscle tone he spent more practice time on the spring-rimmed mat than he did on the vaulting lane. But in a twist ing fall he lost control, landing off balance on his neck and shoulder and pinching his spinal cord. Doctors at first had little hope for his recovery at all. It was believ ed that death was imminent. Now nine months later, Sternberg Is in constant pain but he has made suf '.. ficlent recovery to be in a wheel ; chair part of the time. Ho also has gome control of both arms and spec- lal depressions give him some use of his fingers. 7 Medical people marvel at Stern I berg's fight for survival. His cour-- age has been phenomenal. This spring Sternberg and his " wheel chair flew to the Golden Gate Invitational Track Meet in San Fran " Cisco. Later, Sternberg and his fa !: ther attended the Journal Games In Wisconsin. He described the cxperi " ences: "I was right down in the "arena with my old buddies. It felt like I was back in action." " Last summer, while still con " fined in a Seattle hospital, Sternberg J spoke via telephone to some 600 i high school and college athletes at--tending the Fellowship of Christian Athletes conference in Ashland. Bob Richards, the former Olympic cham pion, acting as master of ceremonies at the conference told the UW ath lete that the conference was praying for a miracle to make him well. Sternberg replied, "It's a tremen dous feeling to know that so many people, even people I don't know, are pulling for my recovery. I know I'm going to come out on top no mat ter what happens because so many people are on my side." It is unlikely that Sternberg will ever be the active athlete that he was prior to the accident. His chanc es to even walk again are almost null but his spirit, courage, and faith are a reminder for all that battles, despite the odds, can only be won by accepting the challenges and fight ing. There Is something In the Brian Sternberg story for each one of us. Quotable quotes We shall remain at your side until the aggression from the North has been defeated until it has been completely rooted out and this land enjoys the peace which it deserves. U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk pledging U.S. support for South Viet Nam until the Communist guerrillas are defeated. By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON - Reports from Saigon indicate that Am bassador Henry Cabot Lodge may be preparing to dissociate himself from the South Vietna mese policies of the Johnson ad ministration. There is also a report that Lodge may do so in the same spectacular manner in which Gen. Douglas MacArthur court ed removal by President Tru man namely, a showdown over U.S. bombing of Chinese Communist territory. The blue - blood Bostonian is not unaware of the Republican fire he is drawing for serving a Democratic administration in this Asian hot spot. Indeed, the reliable Louis Harris poll, which shows Lodge far out in front in the Oregon presidential primary, also regis ters strong criticism of his role in South Vietnam. An over whelming 84 per cent of the Re publican voters, though they liked Lodge, held him partly re sponsible for Vietnam. Lodge has made clear to his backers that he has no inten tion of passing up the oppor tunity to become president. He has told them that it not only was his duty to accept the call, but that he consulted with top Republicans before accepting the ambassadorship. One who agreed he couldn't turn it down, according to Lodge, was ex-President Eisen hower. Far more significant, how ever, are hints that Lodge may be planning a dramatic break with the Johnson administration over South Vietnam. The ambassador has written a private letter to his old friend, ex-Speaker Joe Martin of Mas sachusetts, telling of his desire to carry the war into North Vietnam. It was precisely such a letter over a decade ago that stirred up the great controversy over expanding the Korean War into Manchuria. The circumstances are startlingly similar. At that time Gen. Douglas MacArthur wrote to the same Joe Martin, complaining about President Truman's failure to carry the war into Manchuria. The letter leaked; Truman fired One step In the d I r e c 1 1 o n of peace was taken yesterday (Mon day). U.S. disarmament confer ence delegate Adrian S. Fisher, speaking of the announcement by both the United States and Russia that nuclear production would be cut back. i MacArthur; the General came home in a blaze of publicity. It may be that the ambassa dor, an impressive if less spec tacular figure than MacArthur, had this episode in mind when he wrote to Martin. Will history repeat itself? Note Though maintaining a discreet diplomatic silence, Lodge has also taken issue with the Johnson administration over the prohibition against U.S. hel icopters flying closer than three miles to Cambodia. Red guerril las have the habit of hitting tar gets in South Vietnam, then running for cover into Cambo dia. Lodge has argued that heli copters should be permitted to pursue them all the way to the border. Acheson and MacArthur Ex-Secretary of State Dean Acheson, his memory pricked by the renewed controversy over Gen. Douglas MacArthur, has told friends about the reac tion inside President Truman's cabinet the day after MacArth ur was fired. The headlines were aflame with the news of the great hero's sacking, and public indig nation was bursting over Tru man's head. He strode into the cabinet meeting and, without formality, brought up what was on every one's mind. "Well," he demanded, "what do you think of it?" Truman turned first to his Secretary of State and asked for Acheson's comment. "I am reminded," said Ache son, "of the story of the Army couple who brought up a beau tiful daughter in a succession of Army camps. She was always surrounded by soldier boys who swarmed about her like bees around honey. "Her parents naturally were concerned about her in such an environment. One day, when the husband returned from his du ties, he was greeted at the gate by his distressed wife who an nounced that their daughter was pregnant. "The man reached Into his pocket, pulled out a handker chief, wiped his brow, and said, 'thank God that's over!' "That," said Acheson, "is how I feel about the firing of Mac-Arthur." Fear of white domination leads to fall of African federation By Phil Newsom UPI Staff Writer On Jan. 1 of this year a noble experiment designed to prove ability to live and work togeth er came to an end. Poor and overpopulated Nyas aland and copper-rich Northern Rhodesia became self-governing British protectorates, with Bri tain retaining control of foreign affairs, defense and police. Southern Rhodesia, with its cattle ranches and tobacco plantations, resumed its status of self-governing British colo ny and a policy of white su premacy closely akin to that of its neighbor, the Union of South Africa. The Central African Federa tion of Rhodesia and Nyasaland had lasted just over 10 years and it had collapsed on the same grounds that had led black Africans to oppose it in the first place the fear of dom ination by a white minority. Blacks Are Dominated It is against this background that violence now sweeps South ern Rhodesia where about 220, 000 whites dominate the lives of more than 3.5 million Africans. Politically, the issue lies be tween Southern Rhodesia's de mand for independence from Britain and Britain's refusal to grant it before the whites grant political and social equality to the blacks. Internally, It has meant the fall of moderate Prime Minis ter Winston J. Field and the rise of Ian Douglas Smigh, rancher. World War II hero and outspoken racist. The new governments' banish ment of Joshua Nkomo, a na tionalist leader, led directly to mob action by Africans chant Ing "Nkomo owns the land." Barbs Overwork and crossing the street against a red light can give you that run-down feeling. Some husbands get so tired of frosen foods they give the wife an Icy stare. Externally, It arouses the pos sibility that Southern Rhodesia may become the first colony since the American Revolution to declare Its independence from Britain. How Southern Rhodesia goes also effects the future of Afri ca as a whole. The prosperous Union of South Africa has been able to follow its own white supremacy line partly through the protection of buffer states, of which Southern Rhodesia is one, which cut it off from the nationalism of new African nations. Portugese Under Attack An Independent Southern Rho desia might join with the Un ion of South Africa or it might seek prosperity through trade overseas, going through Portu gese Mozambique. The latter course is hazar dous since Portuguese African holdings are under attack by African nationalists. In the former course, the Un ion of South Africa's borders would move up next to those of avowed enemies. In that event, the black Afri cans would obtain "privileged sanctuaries" providing avenues of safe attack on the white su premacists in both Southern Rhodesia and the Union of South Africa. Ian Douglas Smith is the fourth prime minister in seven years of turbulent political his tory for Southern Rhodesia. At 45, he is credited with the ability to lead the white minor ity which would seize independ ence to block the political threat of a black majority. Unfortunately, battle lines have been drawn. For the mo ment, at least, moderates on either side have lost their voice. And the immediate fu ture of Southern Rhodesia is not a happy one. FIGURES GIVEN KLAMATH FALLS (UPI) -Klamath County registration fig ures were announced Monday. There are 12,439 Democrats, 8,382 Republicans and 407 non partisan voters. GOP primary may turn into race after all Editori note: The Oregon Re publican presidential primary may be the meet significant primary in the nation this year. (First of three.) By Zan Stark UPI Stiff Writer SALEM (UPI) - The Oregon Republican presidential primary may erupt into a contest after all. Oregon political leaders now are privately suggesting that South Viet Nam Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, 61, will not be a runaway victor in the May 15 balloting. Many now suggest it may be a hairline four-way race. Recent polls indicated Lode had a commanding lead, with former Vice President Richard Nixon running second, and New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and Arizona Sen. Barry Gold water about even in a poor third showing. Maine Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, and Pennsylvania Gov. William Scranton will receive only token support in Oregon, it now appears. Many of Oregon's most knowl edgable and powerful politi cal leaders have told UPI pri vately that they believe Lodge's support has begun to wane. Some say Lodge may win, but only by a narrow margin. Others predict victory for Nix on. And some believe the re cently launched drive in Nixon's behalf will undermine Lodge support and leave the way open for a victory by either Gold water or Rockefeller. There have been these devel opments in recent days: Goldwater has shifted his campaign emphasis to televi sion. An "elect Dick Nixon presi dent committee" has come to life under the direction of As toria attorney Wendell Wyatt, who headed the Nixon campaign early in 1960. Rockefeller switched from vague generalities to a hard hitting positive campaign which many believe gave his cause a significant boost during the April 17 visit. Draft Lodge forces are very active. They are launching a statewide canvassing drive Fri day, and hope to visit 150,000 Republican voters before the May 15 election. Goldwater and Rockefeller are waging extensive Oregon cam paigns. Nixon has a reserve of strength from four years ago. (Tomorrow: The absentee cam paigns) Pre-trial conference is ordered PORTLAND (UPI) A pre trial conference for attorneys in another damage suit growing out of the use of the Type III Sabin oral polio vaccine was ordered in 60 days by U.S. Dis trict Judge William G. East Monday. Mrs. Willard J. Scofield, Port land, has filed a suit for $759, 000 against Charles Pfizer and Co., New York City, the manu facturer of the vaccine. She claims she contracted polio as a result of taking the vaccine at a clinic at Sunset High School in May, 1962. The mother of four children is now confined to a wheelchair. Her attorney, George A. Has lett Jr., said he wants the case to go trial in September. The suit is one of four filed In Oregon against the drug manufacturer by people who claim they contracted polio from the vaccine. A Multnomah County Circuit Court jury last week exonerated the company in an original $750,000 suit brought by Dan J. Ferguson of Portland. Ballots mailed to -Tribesmen PORTLAND (UPI)-The U.S. National Bank of Oregon Mon day mailed 409 ballots to the remaining members of the Klamath Indian Tribe to deter mine If a $40 million trust agreement between the Indians and the bank will be termi nated. The executive committee of the remaining members of the tribe asked for the election. Most of the Indians live in Klamath County. My Nickel's Worth "When men differ In opinion, both tides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public." Benjamin Franklin. Writer it mystified by backing for Lodge To the Editor: This writer is mystified at the latest polls showing Lodge to be favored by Republican Oregon ians over other presidential candidates. It's past my under standing how this lackluster ren egade Republican can suddenly appear attractive after he de serted his party to pull Demo crat chestnuts out of the Viet Nam fire. When one considers that Lodge was defeated in his own state by a then unknown John F. Kennedy; that he contribut ed to Nixon's defeat by his wretched campaigning in the South and angered Republican field workers throughout the country by his arrogant indif ference to their needs; that his sound and fury In the UN ac complished no real result; that Republican conservatives will never forgive him for his part in Robert Taft's final defeat; that his suspicious conduct dur ing the overthrow and assassi nation of the Ngus in South Viet Nam has never been satisfactor ily explained; that he has said not one word on the vital issues that trouble all of us. . .1 ask you, can you seriously believe such a man can overcome Lyn don Johnson? To those anxious for a GOP victory, let me say that In my view Republican conservatives as a whole could stomach Nixon again or even Rockefeller, but Lodge never, and they'll stay at home on election day. One can understand Lodge's success in New Hampshire, for the political orientation of Re publicans in the Eastern Sea board, is far more liberal than In other sections of the country but if Lodge supporters are successful elsewhere, then the networks and the Eastern syn dicated pundits have brainwash ed the Republican party again and persuaded it to pick a cand idate most likely to fail. Either that, or the Republican party has a death wish too strong to be denied. This is the end of the line for the Republican party as far as many conservatives are con cerned. If "me-too" Republican ism Is shoved down their throats again, you can write off the Republican party as a na tional force. Think it over well, Oregonians. Many a bad apple can be polished up to look pret ty good If you don't examine it very carefully. Sincerely yours, Don Gregg Cleveland, Ohio, April 18, 1964 Rockefeller target of letter writer To the Editor: : Allow me to c a u 1 1 o n your readers that Nelson Rockefeller, who aspires to be a President, is smothering the educational development of the children of New York State. He has fought consistently against the urgent financial needs of the p u b 1 i o schools. Alvin D. Haber Long Island, N.Y., April 15, 1964 Bloc vote not sought by leaders of league To the Editor: It is the hope of the League of Women Voters that women BULL PROBLEM DENVER (UPI) - Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Beal, who operate a small farm near here, have a problem. Their bull, Alphonso The Great, opened the barn door Sunday and managed to climb steep stairs into the loft. He still was there today. Music in the Air will not vote as a bloc, but as responsible and informed citi zens. Our Voters Service Chair man, Mrs. Van Burleigh, will have non - partisan information on local and state candidates running in the May 15th pri mary available in our commu nity next week. The League of Women Voters of Bend hopes both men and women will in form themselves about the can didates. And you are quite right, the League of Women Voters would never stand for repeal of the 19th Amendment. Very truly yours, Mrs. John Stenkamp President, League of Women Voters of Band Bend, Oregon April 17, 1964 They don't like to be frozen out of goodies By Dick West UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) - Few things will aggrieve a congress man more than being frozen out of an announcement concerning a military base in his home district. The reason for his dis pleasure is twofold: (1) It gives the folks back home the im pression that he doesn't know what is going on In Washington and (2) It makes it difficult for him to claim credit for what is being done. During the past year or so, there have been frequent com plaints that the Pentagon and or White House were playing favorites In the dissemination of such tidings. Let us say for purposes of Il lustration that the Army decid ed to reactivate the 432nd Messkit Repair Depot at Fort Cactus. The word would then be passed to an administration supporter who was facing a tough campaign for reelection. Or so it would be alleged by those who came in second with the news. I don't propose to discuss the validity of these charges, but I was intrigued by an ex perience related by Rep. Sher man P. Lloyd, R-Utah, In the current issue of Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper. Upon entering his office at 3:18 on a recent afternoon, Lloyd wrote, he found an Air Force sergeant "sitting In a chair, looking as if he were waiting for somebody. "It turned out that what he was waiting for was not some body but for the precise mo ment of 3:20 p.m. or, if you will 1520 hours." Right on the dot, the sergeant handed over an envelope con taining an announcement per taining to the Hill Air Force Base in Utah. "Upon my inquiry," Lloyd continued, "this courteous and punctual sergeant informed me that identical messages were being delivered to the entire Utah congressional delegation at the simultaneous moment. "The messengers had even synchronized their watches be fore leaving the Pentagon." The congressman drew the conclusion that the Pentagon had devised "this elaborate clock-watching ritual" to head off complaints about "news management." "Are we training men for this hazardous mission and fur nishing cars and drivers to pro vide the suitable means of get ting through the lines?" he asked. If so, he said, "I think we could save enough money In military manpower to cover the costs of lighting the White House st night." flmwer to Prsrtoua Punlo 6 Music maker 6 Done at tabla with a violin (nieniHKOin 4 Musical place on toe range ACROSS 1 Gadget used Lots of high school girls put a ribbon in their hair and then after graduation put one In their typewriter.
