Thankful for Camp Word
Word from Senator Guy Cordon that Camp White
contracts will be awarded about April 15 brings to
an end the long-drawn-out and unsettling speculation
here as to what the army intends to do with the former
training facility and it also promises something of a
spring boom for this part
WHILE the proposed $6,000,000 expenditure for
iifiiirfoa T-naria milrnsifl snur flriH hnildinps is con
siderably less than first talked, there is, as near as we
can determine fairly general agreement that the lesser
. - - - a 1 1
figure is entirely sensible ana will put tnings m snape
so that rapid expansion may be possible in case of
emergency.
It is also felt here that the decision to hold the
reservation to 1,300 acres is a wise one as farming
and other activities presently being carried on in the
area will thus suffer a minimum of dislocation.

THE decision to make Camp White a "stand-by"
inetollQffnn the. definite,
penditure and especially the clearing up of the ques
tion of amount of acreage involved are very welcome
developments thankfully received by most of those

Passing of the Buff alo
Probably few of the many who stop to look at the
small herd of buffalo grazing near the highway on
John Day's Blue Moon ranch north of Central Point
give thought to the fact that the animals are among
the pitifully scarce and widely scattered remnants
of a species which once numbered many millions
the most numerous of any large animal known to man.
About a year ago Day obtained six head of the
picturesque bison from the Black and White ranch
in Klamath county where they had been raised by the
late Chet Barton, the ranch owner, as a hobby.
F. J. Clifford, Medford naturalist and writer, who
has made an extensive study of the buffalo's tragic
history, is author of an interesting article in the cur
rent issue of the Oregon Historical Society's quarterly.
According to the naturalist part of the information in
his article was obtained from older Indians with whom
he became acquainted over a period of some fifty
years, and part came from Jeff Riddle, author of a
book on the Modoc war.
CLIFFORD says he determined that no wild buffalo
were ever seen this far west, but that buffalo bones
were found by early settlers in the Big Bend country
of Washington and south into Oregon. The last wild
buffalo, that is animals, which have existed in their
natural habitat up to the present time, are m the Fell
can river country in Yellowstone National Park.
Following are excerpts
the quarterly:
There were an estimated 65,000,000 bison on the North
American continent when old Jim Bridger and other hardy
adventurers to the west first gazed on the big wooly beasts.
The main herd roamed that vast sea of grass known as the
Great Plains, a mighty pasture 1500 miles long by 500
miles wide between the Mississippi river and Rocky moun-.
tains. Fringes of the herd extended to Buffalo, N. Y., and
gave that city its name. From there, scattering bands of
buffalo went south to Kentucky, across the continent to the
deep reaches of Texas and northward to the Great Bear
lakes region of Canada.
a a
The bison appeared to be increasing in numbers until
the arrival of the white man but so great was the heedless
killing of them which began in the late fifties and continued
to the winter of 1882, none could be found the following
spring where thousands had been known to be the fall be
fore. They were considered an extinct species, so complete
was their disappearance that spring.
Hunters of bison for their hides, hump meat and tongue,
were generally known as buffalo runners. Greed for quick
money to flaunt before the stay-at-homes back east was
a strong urge in the dangerous and hard work.
a - a a
The mass killing was not confined to the western prai
ries or to the people there. It started with the slaughter
of scattering bands of bison in - the eastern states. Those
same hunters later scurried west with the latest type of
breech-loading rifles. They came from all walks of life, the
rich and the poor, the schooled and the unschooled. They
also came from the nobility of England, clad in yellow leg
gings and other sports clothes which earned them the name
"yellow legs."
The killing of bison reached such proportions that by
1874 the great southern herd was divided into two parts,
several hundred thousand of them retreating to the vast
reaches of Texas below the Arkansas and Canadian rivers.
The federal government made this a dividing line below
which no white man could hunt. But such a decree did not
stop the hide, hump and tongue hunters. Neither did the
loss of scalp and life of some deter others from the danger
ously hard work. Hunt they did, until there was practically
none of the wooly humpbacks left. The hides of cow bison
brought from $2.50 to $3.50; bull hides $2 or less.
The first rifles used on bison were muzzle loaders with
half inch bore. Repeating rifles could be had in the late
sixties of 45-70 caliber, 45-90 and the largest of 45-120-550
which was accurate up to 300 yards.
The kill increased to such proportions that buyers re
fused to name a price. Hides were stacked like cordwood
along the Missouri river, waiting for a boat to take them
to St Louis. Around 1870, the hides were stacked at the
loading places of the Union Pacific and Northern Pacific
railroads. The stench of those hides which had been torn'
from the carcass by a team of horses, which brought much
flesh with the hide, was almost beyond human endurance.
. a a a
With bullhides bringing almost nothing, the hiders turn
ed to cow hides which found more ready market for robes,
overcoats, caps and mittens. When most of the buffalo cows
were killed off there could be few calves and this spelled
the finish of the bison.

Matter of Fact
THE TAFT GAMBLE
Concord, N.H. Sen. Robert A.
Taft is certainly among the
shrewdest professional politi
cians in the UnUed States. And,
when, against
the advice of
all those around
him, Sen. Taft
entered his
name in the
primaries here
in New Hamp
shire, he may
weU have made
one of the most
brilliant politi
cal moves of
.e oi art a.sod his career.
' His chief rival, General of the
Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, has
one immense asset. This is his
immense appeal to the mass of
the voters. It is this asset and
it is really just about Eisenhow
er's only asset with the hardshell
Republican professionals that
Taft undoubtedly hopes to weak
en fatally in the primary voting
here next Tuesday.
For Taft can reasonably hope
to run a very close second to
Eisenhower in the preferential
primary the "beauty contest"
as it is called here. He can even
hnne. with luck, to win this con
test, and thus seem to puncture,
once and for all, the "myth" of
F.icpnhnwer's greater popularity.
The fact is that Taft is in a pe-
culiarlv enviable position here
For he and his backers have
rarefullv cultivated the notion
that he has entered the New
Hampshire primary with all the
cards stacked against him, in an
admirable spirit of derrmg-ao.
In fact Taft has all sorts of po
litical aces up his sleeves,
-.-a-a a..
I EN. EISENHOWER, for exam
J pie. has the enthusiastic
hackinc of such conspicuous Re
publican figures as Gov. Sher
man Adams, former tov. KODen
o. Mood both of whom are run
ning as Eisenhower delegates -
and Sen. Charles Tobey. But tne
powerful political organization
of that aeile operator. Sen. Styles
Bridges, is worth the backing of
aU these put together. Bridges
is maintaining in public a rather
smug attitude of neutrality. .
Yet it is significant that
Bridges became Senate minority
leader with the indispensable
hpln nf Sen. Taft. and that he is
considered here a sure bet for a
nlace in anv Taft cabinet. It is
significant also that Bridges' for
mer assistant, Wesley fowen,
who almost beat Tobey in the
1950 primary with Bridges' silent
help, is the leading x aix aeiegaie
candidate. Bridges also has a
most intimate understanding
with "The Manchester Union
Leader," a powerful New Hamp
shire newspaper several degrees
to the right of "The Chicago
Tribune." This paper, which
blankets the state in its morning
edition, is violently pro-Taft and
anti-Eisenhower.
Taft has. moreover, the im
mense advantage of appearing in
the iiesn, complete wiui crusneu
felt hat, baggy pants and reas
suring manner, while Eisenhow
er remains an admirable but
rather dim phantom thousands of
miles away. Despite sucn assets,
most of the Eisenhower deie
catfs sav ten out of fourteen
are expected to -win. This Taft
defeat has already Deen pre-ao-vertised
as a Taft victory. But
the triumph the Taft forces are
really hankering for is a close
vote, or even a Taft majority, in
the preferential primary.
For such a result would seem
to knock into a cocked hat the
claims for Eisenhower's superior
vote-getting powers. In fact, it
would mean nothing ox the son.
a
FT THE first place, the peren:
nial Harold E. Stassen is en
tered in the contest, and will un
doubtedly draw some votes from
Eisenhower. But a far more im
portant factor is the very nature
of this primary vote. As else
where, the voters who take the
trouble to vote in a primary com
pose the hard core of their party.
In the hard-fought Dewey-Stas-
sen contest here in 1948, fewer
By Roland Cot
than half the Republicans who
later voted in the election both
ered to vote in the primary.
Eisenhower's principal strength
is not, of course, among the Kd-
core Republicans. It is among the
independent voters and disgust
ed Democrats the "mug
wumps," as Taft calls them dis
dainfully who are demonstra
bly essential to Republican na
tional victory. And here in New
Hampshire primary voters usual
ly represent a hard core of a
hard core. New Hampshire s fa
mous town meetings coincide
with Primary Day, and thus the
rural and small town Republi
cans vote in force, while the
more independent - minded city
voters sit on their hands. And
New Hampshire's rural Republi
cans are about as conservative a
body of voters as are to be found
anywhere in the nation.
Under such circumstances, a
good majority for Eisenhower
will be a downright miraculous
tribute to his universal popular
ity. Yet a Taft defeat here will
not much hurt Taft, as this out
come has been written off in ad
vance by Taft himself. And a
Taft majority in the preferential
poll will be interpreted as a cata
strophic setback for Eisenhower,
while if Taft runs a close sec
ond, this will be hailed as tri
umphant proof of Taft's strength
with the voters, even in Eisen
hower-minded New England. In
short, it is difficult to see how
Taft could lose much here, and
very easy to see how he could
win a great deal. This is why
Taft's entry into the New Hamp
shire primaries, bold to the point
of foolhardiness as it seemed at
first, may be the shrewdest gam
ble he has ever taken.

Schoolyard Hazard -
To the Editor: As everyone
will remember, a year or two
ago in Los Angeles two children
were killed on schoolyards that
had hard surface. ;
In this month's Reader's Di
gest and Woman's Home Com
panion there are articles telling
of these accidents and many
other very serious ones due to
hardtopped playgrounds.
In Medford on some of our
schoolgrounds there are hard
surfaces. What do we intend to
do about it?
I would suggest that our Parent-Teacher
associations and the
public in general, both in Med
ford and Jackson county, think
this over pretty seriously. Now
is the time to correct this haz
ard and not wait until some
child is critically injured. '
I, for one, would rather have
my child come home with mud
on his clothes than ' with a'
cracked skull.
If we need more janitor serv
ice to keep our schools and play
grounds clean, let's hire two in
the place of one. It would be
money better spent than if it
were spent for accident insur
ance, lawsuits, etc.
Let's make the step now to
make our playgrounds safer be
fore there are broken bones and
possibly broken hearts.

On Communism:
. By KEVIN McCANN

(These articles are based on
the book. The Man From
Abilene." by Kevin McCann.
to be published by Double
day fc Company.
In his public and private pro
nouncements, General of the
Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, an
implacable foe of Communism,
and never one to minimize its
threat to American survival, ex
presses doubt that Russia will
embark on a global war at this
time.
-He foresees that if the West
will establish systems -of collec
tive strength, to bring about an
equilibrium with Soviet power,
the cold-war situatibn "would
merely become a simple struggle
between two ideologies and not
a struggle on one side backed up
by frightening power that par
ticularly upsets the nations close
by. We would be content to trust
the decency and justice of our
cause and its appeal to people
in the long run."
On the home front, he has
urged elimination of subversive
elements "in the fair, just, de
cent American way."
The penchant for calling any
one a Communist is "a behind-the,Iron-Curtain
trick," Gen.
Eisenhower has declared, point
ing out that Communists them
selves apply the Fascist label to
all who do not share their views.
He holds: ,
Let Us Eliminate Elements
"Let us not be stupid enough
to fall into that grave error here.

Babson Airs Recent
Stock Market Breaks
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Fla., March 7
(Special to Mail Tribune) The
1951 dollar is worth only 38
.cents when
compared with
the 1913 dollar
of 100 cents.
World War I
inflation
brought the
1913 dollar
down to 50
cents in 1920.
Post - World
War I defla-
tion took it
back to 59
cents, while the depression of
the thirties raised the value to
79 cents in 1933. Today's dollar
is worth only 53 cents when
compared with the 1939 dollar.
What caused these changes is
beginning to bother Wall Street.
The present downward cycle
of the dollar started in 1933
when President Roosevelt de
preciated the dollar by lowering
its gold content, in order to try
to drive prices up in the depres
sion. The Gold Reserve Act of
1934 cheapened the dollar by
41. At that time the dollar
was worth approximately 75
cents when compared with the
100 cent dollar of 1913. World
War II accelerated inflation
through high wages, strong de
mand for goods and services,
and the shortage of such goods
and services. Furthermore, the
post-World War II era, charac
terized by its shortages of goods
and buying scares, continued the
spiral.
Two major contributing fac
tors undermining the post-war
dollar are labor unions and price
support. Through continued
pressure labor leaders have been
making wage demands in ex
cess of an increase in the work
output per man-hour. Price sup
ports have been such that in
1950, when we were in the midst
of a boom, only six out of seven
teen support crops were selling
above parity. These supports are
undermining the dollar because
they strike at food prices. Wall
Street is realizing that this kind
of prosperity is one of "make
believe." Wall Street Getting
Scared of Inflation
A little inflation may seem
like a good idea to some of our
economic planners. It is more
of an opiate than good economic
sense. Cheap money at first de
ceives people into thinking they
are better off than they really
are. The more of it they use,
the harder it is to stop; and once
you try to stop, the after effects
are disastrous. Recognition of
this is a primary cause of the
recent break -in stock prices.
Although Wall Street wanted in
flation two years ago, it now
is frightened of it.
The various kinds of security
that have been hardest hit are
old-age pension plans (both priv
ate and government), schools
and colleges, hospitals, churches
and the like. Investors at last
have come to. believe that in
flation creates more tragedies
than deflation. This is evidenced
by the increased demands made
each year by the various Com
munity Funds.
Cheap Dollars and
Totalitarianism
Communists r e s o r t to the
cheap money-inflation philoso
phy.. They find it effective dope.
Loyalty and the Outlook for Peace
not just call Communist anyone
who may be a little brighter than
ourselves."
"'Because disloyalty is an of
fense of the most profound im
port," he told the Boy Scouts
at their Valley Forge Jamboree
on July 4, 1950, "we must be
especially careful to avoid hurl
ing the charge of Communist
against any who may merely dis
agree with us. Respect for our
own free system requires that
we speak and act against others
with restraint until factual evi
dence establishes guilt."
He set down his feelings about
loyalty oajhs during an inter
view as President of Columbia
University:
"Before appointing a man to
our faculty I would want to
know all there is to know about
his background. If I found he
was a Communist, I would not
appoint him. On the other hand,
I certainly do not believe our
faculty members should be sub
ject to special loyalty oaths.
Three Education Institutions
"When we think of the educa
tion of our youth, we think of
three institutions: The family,
the church and the school. We
don't ask for special oaths from
the parents; we don't ask for
special oaths from the minister;
then why ask for a special loy
alty oath from the teacher?"
In his first year at SHAPE,
Gen. Eisenhower met many per
sons who questioned him about
the imminence of war with itus
sia. His answer:
"Suppose you and a dozen of
your friends constituted the Po
litboro within the Kremlin. You
control all decision of war and
peace for the Soviet masses. At
The great Englishman, Lord
Maynard Keynes, wrote shortly
after World War I, "Lenin said
that the best way to destroy the
capitalistic systen is to debauch
the currency. By a continuing
process of inflation, governments
can confiscate, secretly and un
observed, an important part of
the wealth of thein citizens.
"Tfiis attack against savings
strikes not only at security but
at confidence in the equity of
all existing corporations. Those
to whom the system brings
windfalls . . . become profiteers
who are the object of hatred
by the masses who the infla
tionism has improverished. A
the inflation proceeds, the real
value of the currency fluctuates
wildly from month to month . . .
and ... all permanent retions
between debtors and creditors
become utterly disordered so
that legitimate business degen
erates into a scandal and a
lottery ..."
Present dollar business profits,
plus fictitious inventory gains,
plus inadequate depreciation
charges, plus the huge dollar
salaries and consequent illusion
of prosperity have already
drugged too many investors into
thinking they are really pros
perous. Wall Street is beginning
to shudder when it thinks of the
ultimate outcome!

' The first quake was felt in
Tokyo and Yokohama at 6:15
a.m. MST and the second at 12:37

third quakes to rock Japan in
four days. The second quake
caused a 400-yard-long railway
embankment to collapse near
Fukui. Power was disrupted at
Kanazawa and Fukui. It was re

home, you are entrenched in
power; within the Russian bor
ders there is no threat you need
fear, no group that can despoil
you of your dignities, your lux
ury apartments,; your automo
biles and planes, your retinue
of servants. Within the last few
years you have seized, beyond
the Russian frontier, an indus
trial and agricultural empire
whose complete absorption will
strengthen you at home . and
abroad and increase even fur
ther the wealth you enjoy. Your
hold there, however, is not yet
secure. Millions in Poland and
eastern Germa.iy and . Czecho
slovakia and Hungary and t.e
Balkans accept -our bondage in
sullen silence, awaiting the first
moment when thy can lunge
desperately at you and your sup
porters. Can Answer Question
"So situated, will you risk
your position and your future
against the Allied armies and
navies and air fleets whose pres
ent stature is only a faint index
to their overwhelming might
should the nations that now mus
ter them be resolved into a cold
blooded and avenging unity by
your attack? I think I can answer
the question for you.
"So situated, you of course
would hesitate at the irrevocable
decision of war. You might hope
that your armies could cross the
Elbe and some of your divisions
might probe forvard to the
Rhine. But the Channel and the
Bay of Biscay and the Western
Mediterranean would be beyond
your grasp.
"As your armies faltered be
fore the Allied wall; as units
from the satellite countries muti
nied, deserted, straggled away,
your lines of supply and com
munication would be destroyed
by air attack; your own cities
would be battered; the Black Sea
might easily become an Allied
lake.
Would Rally Forces
"To the woods and morasses
of Poland would throng patriots,
armed by air, commanded by
parachute-dropped leaders, able
and eager to purge their land
of everything Russian. The Bait
and Czech and Hungarian towns
and villages would rally guer
rilla forces to harry you. Unrest
at home would follow, and each
day your power, your prestige,
would shrink. In that light con
fronted by a stout Allied line,
before you and on your flanks
you, or a Russian, would hesitate
at going to war deliberately."
Gen. Eisenhower has never
softened his warnings about the
Communist menace. In a letter
to a friend in Chicago in Novem
ber, 1950, he said in part:
"We, as Americans, face a
deadly danger for a very sim
ple reason. Communism, . both
ruthless in purpose and insid
ious as to method, is using the
traditional imperialistic designs
of Russia and the present physi
cal strength of Asia and Eastern
Europe to promote the Commun
istic objective of world revolu
tion and subsequent domination
of all the earth by the Com
munist party, centering in Mos
cow." Appeasement Ruled Out
He had ruled out any appease
ment of the Kremlin:
"By no juggling of words or
twisting of ideas can a citizen of
this country justify an alliance
with the forces of dictatorship
and Communistic enslavement."
And upon his installation as
President of Columbia be
pledged:
"The facts of communism . . i
shall be taught here its ideologi
cal developments, its political
methods, its economic effects,
its probable course in the future.
The truth about Communism is,
today, an indispensable require
ment if the true values of our
democratic system are to be prop
erly assessed.
"Ignorance of Communism,
Fascism or any other police-state
