El I Editorial Correspondence New York, N. Y March 28 better on the Atlantic Coast than Among them, disease germs. We would, for example, match the Atlantic coast flu-bug against the Pacific Coast type any time and wager G.T.'g day's wages (no picayune item!) that the former would win in a walk, we are lust and-tumble with the Atlantic Coast type, and with the aid of both aureomyacin and penicillin EXPECT to survive. But it was touch-and-go for a time. We never had any such trouble with similar eerms on the western coast. "Whew-w-w" what a wallop that old boy packs like a ton of brlckl germs we want no more of them. We will take the nogue valley brand every time! Speaking of germs and diseases and other undesirable items, we wish the proper authorities would evolve a lethal spray for this McCarthy-pest and get rid of him. That case is about all we have seen in the newspapers during the past depressing and medi cinal period, and have to admit the affair has got us down eve further than the bout with Old-Man Flu had put us already. The only consoling feature has been that this Wisconsin "Mac has reminded us of our old pal minate over the latter is always a pleasure or if not completely so, at least a relief from contemplation of this unspeakable moronic charlatan from the Woodchuck hills of the upper Mississippi val ley, e As may be recalled, "Pal Mac" who faithfully reported the Communist Hiss and Coplon trials, taking more copious and pains taking notes than the "bye line'1 writers for the New York Times (Just why no one seemed to know) suffered from such an acute Communist-phobia that he wanted the magazine "Time" barred from the mails as seditious, and refused to read the "New Yorker" because of what he termed its "pro-commy leanings." This may give an inkling of his type. And it is not as rare as some people assume. In fact your correspondent has run into a couple in this hotel and there appears to be some out in dear old Medford. Their basic difficulty is emotional their emotions com pletely overcome their ability to think. In fact when their pet aversion arises, namely the "Red Menace," they refuse to think. As a result they go to ridiculous extremes. They not only suspect there is a Russian "Red" under every bed, but that anyone who has NOT gone on RECORD as a rabid and uncompromising anti-Russian, is at heart a pro-Russian at the best a potential bomb-heaving Communist. The only orthodox, acceptable Amer ican patriot therefore at least this was Mac's working formula had to be just as extreme, as bigoted, as intolerant and uncompro mising as he. As a result, one felt rather sorry for "Mac" he was extreme ly polite and proper, and yet he was so alone. Even the FBI op eratives, and the attorneys for the government whom he openly courted, were bored and indifferent. Just how and why he secured admission to the press sections no one seemed to know. And yet it would be entirely untrue to suggest that "Mac" was disliked except, of course, by the Communists or Fellow Travelers present. He was merely regarded and discounted as a crank, an extremist and something of a "nut." And, of course, he was. And yet a nice nut. And that is where the similarity to this other "Mac" this ' unsavory McCarthy of Wisconsin ends. For there is nothing j NICE about this cheapskate from the Badger state, who, as a noted Republican, former Secretary of War Stimson, declared, quote: 'This man, so stupid as to connect a man like Ambassa dor Jcssup with Communism so unprincipled as to seek personal and party advantage from damage to his country." The "Mac" from Wisconsin and his "noisy antics" however, do remind us of our own "Mac" in this way it is because of the fanatical intolerance that our own "Mac" represents, that the Wisconsin demogogue is depending for a "cash-in" at the ballot box come this November the strong anti-communism ground swell that has been rising ever since World War II ended and is probably at its apex now. And in this campaign for which he is the advance scout and self-appointed booby-trap, McCarthy will round up as many of the Communist-trial "Macs" as he can find. For while such "witch burners" are n. g. as newspaper reporters, they are useful as political rounder-uppers and fire-alarm-pullers in a national cam paign. In fact, we shall be surprised if "Mac", who is a man of leisure living on a modest but adequate income, does not work at a steady job for change during the campaign, which should start now in a few months. And whatever he may do or say no one knowing "Mac" will for a moment doubt this: He will BELIEVE it he will believe sincerely everything he does and says. He will be even more literally at Armageddon battling for the Lord than he was at the Communist trial. It will be a sacred, patriotic cause and unless the GOP wins and regains control of the congress, Mac will HONESTLY believe that the day when Uncle Joe moves into the White House will have been brought closer by several months. Absurd? Certainly. But that's Mac. If the Wisconsin Mac were as sincere and honest as the Fed eral Court Mac, this department would oppose him. for such twisted fanaticism in this democracy we believe a harmful influ ence; but we would respect him and grant the man at least the right to have his say and fight the good fight according to his lights. But the Wisconsin Mac plainly isn't. He is too smart to believe the sort of incendiary and mendacious flap doodle he is handing nut He no more believes Owen Lattlmnre is really Stalin's chosen rep resentative in the State Department than he believes Ambassador Jcssup has a special affinity for Communism and presumably com munist intrigue. He isn't, in spile of his wild demands for the secrets ot the FBI files, interested at all In the TRUTH. He is only interested In what he and some of his fellow party fire-eaters like Bridges of New Hampshire can make the voters BELIEVE to be true this coming November. Knowing there has been extensive Soviet espionage in the stale department as evidenced by the Hiss and Coplon cases, the the McCarthys and the Bridges (and we regret to stale some of the more respected, self-respecting republicans) see a great chance to gain and retain political jobs and controls for their party. So they put up such a smoke screen manv of the voters will conclude there really must be some fire, that while countless innocent people will suffer, most of thein will be members of the opposing party any way, so what the heck . "Everything Is fair In love, war and politics anyway! !" e And this MAY be smart politics. It shouldn't be but it mnv be for as before remarked In this department, there are signs of the Hoc so reckless opportunists like McCarthy may be taking that tide at the proper time. Only time can tell. But good politics or bad politics, there is no question of this: it Is one of the most disgusting and shameful exhibitions of cheap partisan politics of a completely reckless and irresponsible na ture this country has seen for a corn-ration, and should he tin- comprisingly condemned by all right-thinking people regardless of party. As Walter Lippman of the Herald-Tribune states in today's Herald-Tribune: ". . . the McCarthy business is playing straight Into Russia's hands. 1 believe every Informed and serious minded observer would agree that the great objective of Soviet policy is to push the United States out of Europe unci sia ann oacK inio ine western nemispnore. r.very thing thai happens here which renders it impossible for the United States to work with Its allies and partners brings the Soviet government nearer to its objective." And no fair-minded observer would deny that the McCarthy-; Bridges hullabaloo is doing precisely THAT making it more and more difficult for the United States to work effectively with its allies and partners, enjoy their confidence, and arouse In them any sense of greater security, while giving the Kremlin increasing as surance that the U S A. is a country divided and torn hv inner conflicts, so Iheir traditional policy of divide and conquer is work ing out well and should be persisted in. Perhaps the ravages of the champ flu germ of the Atlantic seaboard may be partly responsible, but as the writer views the situation the Republican party faces a most serious crisis If the leadership of the party Is to he taken over hv such representatives as McCarthy and Bridges rather than Republicans of the tvpe of Vnnrionhurg and Stimson In the approaching campaign, whether the immediate result should be victory or defeat, the final out-1 come would mean the moral bankruptcy of the t;OP, and its dis appearance for the time being at least, as an effective force in American politics. And it would be getting merely its just des "rts! R.W.R. PS SHOCKED to hear of the sudden and tragic death of David Holmes. In a flash we recalled a time manv years ago when at practically the same time of year our ear skidded on a curve not far from Redding, and we thought: "This is it!" Bv some kind Im n of Fate, however, the car finally stayed on the highway, in stead of going off which would hac spelled "(mis " We know (, things more terrifying than to be an occupant of a skidding r..t mi a mountain highway Ui sent of helplessness and futility u so Sunday.

I think you can tako a chance on saying 'oh yeah to somebody, now." complete; as in few other situations one is so vividly and suddenly conscious that the difference between life and death is or may be only a difference between good fortune and bad. It was the latter with Dave. Too bad, too lirely satisfactory definition for easier to recognize than define. In paration and salesmanship in the Holmes was UNQUESTIONABLY finite capacity for taking pains," but was in constant accord with never travels well-worn paths. He, with his brother and associates, in the direction of special gift box sales direct to consumers, struck out along unbeaten paths and not only established one of the largest concerns of the kind in the country but one of the most prosperous. It was pioneer work. It was hard work, but it paid out generously in the end, not only in a financial way personally, but in putting Medford and the Rogue River valley on the map of this country, from coast to coast and from San Diego to Maine. Within a ten mile radius of where this is being written, for ex ample, there are literally thousands of homes 2a00 miles away, that will note with regret, the dropping of the name of "David" from the well known firm name of the Bear Creek Orchards steady patrons through the years. R.W.R. COMMUNICATIONS Letters to the Editor must bear the name and addresse of the wrltei although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or Initial for publication Is permis sible. The Mall Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and conden sation. Letters submitted for pub llrs'lon must not exceed loo words DST Vote Urged To the Editor: In the begin ning God created the heavens and the earth and it was some time before timepieces were made, so the sun was our time piece. Why do we change the clock, to go against God's will? It would seem to me that the people of Medford should have a say as to whether we adopt the daylight saving time. Why not let the people have a vote on this as on other measures such as our new water line and our swimming pool. If our city is going to be run by five or six men why call an election in May to vote bonds to carry this new water line? I for one do not believe in dictator ship. Why not just sit back and let the city dads take care of all our business, and go all the way nut for dictatorship, not just half? Berry Haddock Winner Backed To the Editor: In response to the letters recently published in mis column, aoout a certain con testant on the amateur hour, we regret to hear that some folks are dissatisfied with the choice of the public. It was known some time ago that the final contestant would be chosen by an applause meter and the audience attending the show that evening. As members of that audience we believe we chose the contest ant having the most talent and the ability to go the farthest. According to ethics, we should all' get behind him as our rep resentative and be his friends, win or lose. If it should happen that his is eliminated at Port land, we trust that we can take our disappointment with good spirits. Miss Kathleen Hicks Dale Davis To the Editor: Being a resident of Shady Cove. 1 feel compelled to write regarding the letter by Bill Grant and Jim Grimm. Hav ing lived in Shady Cove a very short time, and not knowing any of the contestants personally. I feel that 1 may write entirely ..without prejudice. However, the last paragraph of the above mentioned letter was just too much. To tirst com pare the sour notes of the cornet player to Harry James, and the fill? by Roland Cp bad! We have never tound an en genius, the quality is so much his special line of promotion, pre fruit business, however, Da via a genius. He not only had the "in. limitless energy and imagination, the well-known saying: "genius to state "this information is sub mitted to enlighten the residents of Shady Cove to the facts of real musical talent" was a little in sulting to Harry James and to Shadv Cove. Believe it or not, we have radios up here in the hills and have heard Harry James a couple of times, so we also know "real musical talent". The "Cowboy Singer" may not be what some consider great but his pleasant voice was at least entertaining, while the cornet player had my deepest sympathy for his obvious mistakes. Speak ing of "greatness" I think the little girl that played classical music on the piano would be so classed. However, the contest is over and the results from Portland will answer the question "Is he a second Harrv James or merely a promising amateur who needs more practice.' I think in the event of anoth er contest, the vote should be taken hv mail so that the listen ers may think first and vote fair ly for the best performance of the night, leaving personalities entirety out when maKing ineir decisions. No doubt they all worked hard preparing for the program and winning means a great deal to each one. Mrs. Evelyn McElhoe Shady Cove, Ore. Applause Meter Unfair? To the Editor: Being an aver age citizen of this fair city I would like to voice my opinion on the recent talent contest. As the public was asked to vote for their favorite contestant, by bal lot at a named drug store, I can't see why judges and an applause meter both, along with the votes, were used in the final contest. According to Bill Grant and Jim Grimm, fellow students of the final winner, Keith Mirick, anyone playing or singing a mel ody in the style of so-called big band leaders is more than apt to be chosen a winner. Not having any interest in the contest or voting, I believe the instrument (applause meter) used at the last contest to be un fair to the contestants. B. J. Haas. (Editor's note: Voting by the public by coupon or mail was merely to select favorites for the local finals. In the final contest here an applause meter was used, its indicator being watch ed by three judges. The judges had no part in choosing the con testant for the trip to Portland, except to watch the applause meter and certify as to its proper reading. The applause meter method is used in practically all amateur radio contests, it ob viously being the only practic able way to choose favorites In such performances.)

All California will swing over to fast time a month from today. Oregon and Washington com munities, however, must decide for themselves whether they want daylight or standard time. In general, rural areas favor standard time because it gives them more daylight in the morn ing and work can be completed that much earlier at night.

Astoria On the Side-8 v Du , n9 (Distributed br Klni features Syndicate, lac) Are you an old timer in your city? How much have you seen it grow? I was talking to a fel low who came to Miami Beach to settle down 35 years ago. The population of that town at that time (in 1914) was 644. It now has around 50,000 permament residents and 60,000 winter res idents. Some of the old timers don't like the way Miami Beach has been growing recently. They say there are too many new hotels. They would like to see more winter homes built by solid citizens from the North. Some Prices Milk is 26 cents a quart in Miami. That is said to be the top price for a quart of milk in the U. S. A. However, it doesn't top New Orleans by much. Milk is 25 cents a quart in the Cres cent City. Gasoline in southeast ern Florida, including tax, is 31 cents per gallon. However, the section is not without its bar gains. I note an offer -to "clean and press two suits for one dol lar." There are also a number of restaurants making "all you can eat" offers. As for example, one seafood eatery "ocean fresh pan fried fish. All you can eat for one dollar. S erved with cole slaw, french fries, hot rolls and butter." Another handsome of fer is "shrimps steamed in beer. All you can eat two dollars." That's the first time I heard of shrimps being steamed in beer. Sounds like quite a formidable concoction. Don't think I would have the courage to try it. Great Athlete Saw "Big Chief" Bender to day. It was in 1002 that Bender, a Chippewa Indian, joined Con nie Mack's Athletics. He was 18 years old at that time. He took part in five world's series. Ben der's career as a pitcher in pro fessional ball, in major and minor leagues, lasted 36 years. If that isn't the record for long time activity as a professional pitcher, what is? I do not wish to detract from Jim Thorpes athletic achievements, but at times I think the sports scribes play Thorpe up too much and say too little about other great Indian athletes, such as Bender.

' The 1948 Oregon legislature passed a measure that would give all Oregonians daylight saving time if both California and Washington adopted it, and then only by proclamation of the governor. Daylight time proponents, however, labeled the measure as an anti-daylight saving time bill and obtained enough petition signatures to force the legisla ture's bill to referendum vote in November's general election. oil t,m,.t immiiti,,, IIIMIIIItillllMllllt" Eddy's program includes a group of ditties he describes as "Amer ican Folk Songs." Guess I am not much of an American folk song expert, as I never heard of these songs before. They inclue two sea songs "Shenandoah," and "Blow Ye Winds," and a North Carolina mountain song titled, "He's Gone Away." How about you? Are you familiar with these ballads? If so, sing them for your wife. Asking Queries from clients: Q I have worked for four years for the same employer, never missed a day. Don't you think I deserve a vacation? A. Seems to me you should look around for another boss. Any employer who would not offer an employe a vacation in four years simply can't be a good man to be connected with. Incidentally, the reason many successful men are successful is because they were smart enough to tie up with a good boss or a good organization.
