We lave not had the pleasure of meeting Walter S. Blake J r., but his statements several weeks ago in his announcement for the position of state superintendent of public instruction expressed the philosophies which we be’ ieve this State need in its educational system. His training and background would certainly seem to qualify him . He has held a doctorate in education since 1953, and until he resigned recently b. make the race, he had been Dean of Students at W illam ete Univer sity in Salem for nearly eight years. The office he seeks is non-partisan. We received double assurance Sunday that our trust in Dr. Blake is well placed when the lead editorial in the Oregonian gave hi m quite a panning and told us » m e good things about him which we had not known. Beginning with a spurt of fair ness which we appreciated very much, the Oregonian said Dr. Blake is "an able, sincere man". Coupled with his exper ience, that makes him a mighty good man in our opinion. It seems that Blake's sinful effrontery lies in his desire to get » m e of the fundamentals of education back into practice in Oregon schools. That is anathema to the »phisticated hearts of many of our good Oregon neighbors; it just isn't their kind of progress. Seems that a ll members of our State Board of Education audaciously pledged their support to D r. Leon .Minear, present state superintendent. " It does not want a small replica of the stalemate in California, where the policy-m aking State Board of Education has long been at odds with the contoversial, elected superintendent, Dr. Max Rafferty, of whom D r.’ Blake is a disciple," jay, the Oregonian. It would be impossible to more highly compliment Dr. Blake. Dr. Max Rafferty is a nationally recognised education authority whom the people of California elected to rescue them from an almost hopeless situation » similar to the present trend in Oregon towards a brainwashed, regimented educational process. Taking a turn at fairness, we would suggest that D r. Min ear is is a l » a disciple. We would say his mentor is former Cabinet Member Dr. Arthur S. Fleming, president of the University of Oregon, the very incarnation of most everything we do not like in our growing system of amoral, imperialistic education. Unless the voters of Oregon follow the example of California voters and not only elect Dr. Blake, but a l » defeat Measure No. 2 on the May 24 ballot, it w ill probably be their last chance for educational freedom in this state. The measure would make the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction appointiv« instead of elective, That's why this office should be filled i f the appointing officials could be depended upon to act » le ly in the best interest, of our children and young people. But today our officials are too inclined to accept the dictates of a Washing ton tyranny which demand, their fallacious brand of conformity in education as w ell as in economic and social realm ,. So the people of Oregon had better defeat Measure No. 2 on the May 24 ballot and retain their power of restraint over the egotistical educational hierarohy. T H E V IE T N A M C R IS IS ...................... Everybody know, there is a dire crisis in Vietnam today. Because the authority of this column's opinion in international a ffa ir, is justifiably suspect to many people, we reproduce below an A p il 16 editorial from HUMAN EVENTS, certainly a nation a lly authoritive and responsible periodical. Why the V iet Nam Crisis Asian experts arc laying the blame for the current violent turm oil in South Viet Nam at the doorstep of Lyndon Johnson and his predecessor, John F. Kennedy. American policy, it is charged, NO? go has not only encouraged the current radical demonstrations, but has made Communists out s ’ m W & Ϋ of neutralists and neutralists out o f anli-Communists. Here’s & C H IÊ N J * where—in the opinion of the experts-the United States has failed: • Mistake No. 1: LBJ’s “ no-win” policy has helped to swell the ranks of the Vietnamese radicals now engaged in anti-American protests. LBJ says he w ill negotiate with the Reds at any time. He refuses to enlarge the northern bombing, send in vasion forces across the 17th parallel or even blockade or mine the Hanoi-Haiphong harbor through which the Reds receive strategic materiel. Many South Vietnamese, weary of war, feel that as long as the U.S. refuses to take the necessary action to force Ho Chi Minh to his knees, the fighting will continue to drag on in their own homeland in the south. Rather than see their country depleted by an intermin able war, many have had second thoughts about siding with LBJ and have deserted to neutralism or, in some cases, pro-communism. • Mistake No. 2: America’s soft attitude toward Red China. Continued talk among Administration leaders, like Vice President Hubert Humphrey, of bringing China out of isolation plays into the hands of the Viet Cong. The Adm inistration’s refusal to protest vigorously the construction of a steel mill I 4 Bond Issue For Airport AND SMALL BUSINESS” C D ÍT R A L P O IN T T I M O , IN C . « T H U R S D A Y , APR.T. 21, 19«6 THE CENTRAL POINT TIMES H e cuuse o f ln> re fu s a l to le t g ro w e rs . e s |X *c ia lly in C. w .

Robert Duncan, who appears to have the inside track with the Demos in the coming pri m ary election for U.S. Senator, has cast some interesting votes —to say the least. On that attempted repeal of 14b—the measure that Johnson promised to Big Labor to get its support in 1964— Duncan was one of two Oregon Congress men who voted for the repeal. On the foreign aid bills, Dun can voted in favor of a confer ence report that continues giv ing U.S. money to countries who trade with Communist nations. On the measure of giving U.S. aid directly to Communist na tions (Egypt. Cambodia, Yugo slavia, Indonesia and others), Duncan was again in there with a hearty “ y e a " vote. And on giving funds to the Disarm am ent A g e n c y which promotes “ togetherness” a n d "interdependence” w i t h the Communists — you guessed It— Bob was right there pitching These are just four of the issues that earned Our Bob one of the highest ratings given by the ADA—a group that makes no bones about its socialists aims for the United Sûtes. M ight be something to keep tucked away for the November election. . Ashland D a lly Tiding» for China by a Western consortium and news that certain elements in the State Department actually favor it only convince Vietnamese leaders America doesn’ t mean business in the war. Administration support of increasing trade with Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe-chief supplier of N orth Viet N a m - adds fuel to neutralism. A ll these actions have seriously impaired the w ill of the Vietnamese to resist Red aggression. • Mistake No. 3: LBJ’s reappointment of Henry Cabot Lodge as ambassador to South Viet Nam. Human Events reported on July 24, 1965, that Lodge’s return to Saigon could lead to disaster because his very presence encouraged the Buddhist radicals whom he had befriended when Ngo Dinh Diem was presi dent of South Viet Nam. The Buddhists, of course, are the main agitators against the present Saigon regime. The Buddhists are infested w ith neutralists, Reds and C o m m un ists, but the m ain reason forces have become swollen w ith pow er is both K ennedy and Lodge paved the way fo r present strength and prestige. p ro - their th at their After Ngo Dinh Diem was toppled with the aid of the Democratic Administration in 1963, a top Vietnamese official told Human Events it would be almost impossible for any subsequent Saigon govern ment to restrain the Buddhist radicals. Kennedy had brought all his guns to bear on Diem, primarily because of Diem’s crackdown on the Buddhists. JFK took this harsh line against Diem because, being the first Catholic U.S. President, he didn’ t want to bear the stigma of helping to persecute a religious minority. After Diem was toppled, of course, it was revealed that the Buddhists were not being persecuted because of religion, but because they were saturated with Communist and pro-Communist agitators. Lodge was as responsible as anybody for bolstering the radical Buddhist elements. It was Lodge, for example, who harbored Thich T ri Quang in the American embassy. Quang is the Buddhist monk who is credited with toppling at least four Saigon governments and is deeply involved in the present crisis. r According to French records, Thich Tri Quang had twice been arrested during the postwar French occupa tion of Indochina for dealings with Ho. By his own admission, he was a member of the Viet Minh Libera tion Front. French records also show he has a brother working for Ho whose duties are directing subversion of South Viet Nam. Thich T ri Quang once told the late journalist Marguerite Higgins that he preferred a “ neutralist” solution for South Viet Nam and felt he had to re move Diem so he could make an “ arrangement” with the north. This Buddhist leader is once again pulling political strings in his country, primarily be cause Lodge befriended him and gave him power. These say the diplomatic experts, are some o f the historical mistakes culminating in the current crisis. < - The Editor, Sir: Freedom has always coat something.
