But there has never been much 100 per cent Republicans and dominate at party primaries are they were 30 years age when the ing its close. They are not so much FOR AGAINST the opposition.

Not necessarily. It by Taft and his leaders, but there are too many Republicans and influential ones who will fight Taft to the lat ballot for this to happen. And there are many Taft and who, if he is nominated, convinced that Taft CANT WIN. And they have arithmetic behind them figures of party regis trations which don't and can't lie. Just as there is no doubt how strongly PRO-Taft the regular Republicans are; there is even less doubt how strongly ANTI-Taft, the Democrats and the independ ent voters of the country are. So, while the New Hampshire predicted above) will give the Taft forces a great boost, and the Eisenhower forces a severe jolt, it neither assures the former's victory nor the latter's defeat at the Chicago convention. Greater than support for any candidate in the Republican party when the convention comes to order in June, will be the desire to WIN Governor Warren is campaigning in Wisconsin for the GOP nomination. If he gets as many votes as he deserves he will make a fine showing. But that is not the way elections go UNFORTUNATELY.

The American Legion, and ported UMT strongly. Also NATURALLY. For the war veterans fought for their country and KNOW what modern war means They could hardly have acted otherwise. For they saw with their own eyes what rushing raw boys WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING into the front lines meant and means. It means NEEDLESS kill ing. "War is murder" but it should not be NEEDLESS murder. The absence of a properly trained reserve in case of war means Just that. This is a time when the country needs above EVERYTHING else LEADERSHIP courageous, patriotic, fearless leadership. But anyone who would have expected this from the present House of Representatives, was either completely uninformed or blind. We hope this country never goes the way of Greece or Rome and see no good reason why it should but if it DOES, the rea son fundamentally will be this same Achilles heel in our body politic the failure of our representatives in public life, to place the welfare of their country above their . own political SELF INTEREST! The last time we saw an important billiard match, was in Chi cago around half a century ago! and a young man known as Jake casion, with the contestants dolled ditto, and a few well-upholstered as if for the opera. The seats were comfortable, the air good, it was a ritzy occassion and unless we are greatly mistaken the under dog, Schaeffer, won. Well, over on Market there is a "World Series" billiard tourna ment now going on and the same Willie Hoppe, is the favorite to win a title he has had off and on, for all these 50 years. That is surely a record to be proud of," bility of the man who started to had to stand on a stool to reach the rail. But what a change in the atmosphere and surroundings! No dinner-coats, no ladies in decollete, no fresh air and only hard seats rushed over from the nearest mortuary parlor for 500 spec tators packed into a strange, billowy-ceilinged sort of Bedouins tent like sardines, and a Jap gal in gold satin with gold teeth to match playing some young chap who, we suspect, was once a pool-hall wanna R.R. division-point. It was a tough spot, however, he defeated the young lady from sex to play in an international gain no applause and no glory. While if he were beaten by her, then he would never be able to hold up his head or bis cue again. He chose the lesser of the two evils and won, much to the disappointment of the 496 men and 2 women present Never again, however! at least not at night The temperature in that strange billowy tent-affair least 102 in the shade, and 3-cushion billiards (which lor some strange reason is the popular game now instead of balk-line) is too slow, to hold the interest of anyone except a confirmed bil liard fiend, or one of the profession. We may drop around some AFTERNOON, however, when Hoppe performs again and there is no crowd. The big sport attraction here at present is a box-fight between the Middleweight Champion, "Sugar Ray" Robinson and "Bobo" Olson of Honolulu, a few nights hence. The boys are working up the bally hoo now, in an effort to get a crowd. But these "benefit" affairs however worthy and this is extremely so fail to interest the real, pigs-eye, box-fight fans. For it is no match really. "Sugar" only gets a dollar giving the rest of his purse to the Runyon cancer fund, while Bobo gets $7500 win, lose or draw. When all is said and done, professional prize fighters are not out to take any chances when there is no title and no money in it The wonder to this de partment is how many fans there are in a smart sports-town like San Francisco, to pungle up $15 for a -seat at such a cooked-up affair as this.

Foreign News-Editor The Union of South Africa an area not quite three times the size of Montana is the world's richest gold l n d diamond ountry with 3 n e of the world's worst social prob 'ems. The difficulty vas pointed up igain this jveek in the na ive rioting at tessSiikJ Via fnhannpshura I'bil New-Bom Ramnae i h g gangs of blanket-clad Basuto tribesmen ranged through the native township of Newclare, at tacking with sticks, stones and knives, killing and looting. Thirty-seven persons were killed and 600 injured in similar riots which started last Christmas Day. The Union of South Africa, a country of two languages among its white population and of many dialects, traces its social difficulties to the differences be tween its three main population 'groups European white, native African and Indian. Europeans in Control The 2,000,000 Europeans are in control of some 9,000,000 Ne groes and about 250,000 Indians, and frankly intend to stay that way. Only whites of European des cent may serve the country's parliament, the others having only strictly advisory represent atives. Strict segregation laws have brought bitter protests from both India and Pakistan which have charged that Indians in the South African union are subject to the worst kind of "Jim Crow- Medford Officer Cited for Heroism Maj. Weldon H. McBee, Med ford, has been awarded the oak leaf cluster- to the Bronze Star medal, with "V" for heroic achievement, it was learned here today. Major McBee was a lieuten ant in Company A of the Nation al Guard here for many years. He servid in World War II in the 41st division, and was sta tioned in Korea for a time be fore the present conflict broke out there. Mrs. McBee is now living in Pacific Grove, Calif., but ex pects to go to Korea in May to be with her husband. The citation which accom panied the award to the officer, who is serving with the 2nd battalion, 5th regiment of the 1st cavalry division, said: Citation Quoted "The battalion was attacking a determined and well-entrenched enemy, armed with automatic weapons, supported by mortar artillery and tank fire. Suffer ing heavy casualties, the bat talion was confronted with dif ficult supply problems because the supply route was under ob servation and mortar fire by the enemy. Major McBee, battalion executive officer, continually ex posed himself to the hostile fire to direct the evacuation of the wounded and to supervise the resupply and redistribution of badly needed ammunition and weapons. His fearless determina tion was instrumental in suc cessfully keeping the ridge se cure. Major McBee's heroism reflects credit on himself and the military service."

Riots have been frequent White Supremacy Blamed Indians and Zulus clashed in Durban in January, 1949, and more than 100 were killed and nearly 1,200 injured. The Capetown riot was a di rect result of the white suprem acy policy followed by the Na tionalist government of Dr. Dan iel Malan. The Malan government policy is both social and economic. First, the government says it will not allow development of a mixed race. Second, particularly in the case of the Indians, it is de signed to prevent business inter ests from falling into other than European white hands. Threatens To Bolt Meanwhile, the Malan govern ment has told its critics to mind their own business, When criticism of his policies came up in the British Parlia ment, Malan's reply was a threat to pull out of the British com monwealth of nations and go it alone.

Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 480 words Tax Use Questioned To the Editor: An item in the Medford Mail Tribune on April 19, 1950, in favor of the pro posed bond issue and levy for the Fire department said: "Coun cil feels improvements cheaper than insurance, when warned in creased insurance, unless depart ment expanded." We voted a $125,000 bond is sue, plus a 4-mill levy which was to man and maintain the two new stations. This 4-mill levy is approximately $68,000 per year and will continue un less we repeal the law. We started this 4-mill levy July, 1950, and after it went into effect your ex-fire chief asked for the men this money was supposed to provide, so he could be getting them trained and they would be partly train ed by the time the new stations were completed, but he was told there was no funds available for them. At about the same time one of the councilmen told me, "the fire department fund sure helped me out on the parks this year." One man suffered a nervous breakdown in his efforts to work for the taxpayers' interest so was not allowed to work for the city, and is to be deprived of his retirement - after 22 years service with the city. Another man is to be sen tenced over taking some nickels and pennies. If the taxpayers are not concerned how their dollars are spent, why worry over the nickels and pennies? Let us at least be consistent As long as I pay city taxes, I will continue to study the budget, and concern myself over how my tax money is spent and hope to be able to wok? up some others.

President, Defiance College (These articles are based oa the book "The Man from Abi lene. by Kevin McCana, to be published by Doubleday ft Company.) To any McKinley conserva tives surviving in the second half of this century, General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhow er must seem to Be an unrecon structed Populist. Certainly, he is not afraid of an idea merely because it seems at odds with convention so long as it does not conflict irreconciliably with a demonstrated truth or require for its effective practical appli cation the exercise of arbitrary and unlimited power. In the spring of 1950, when he was an elector to the Hall of Fame, he was confronted with a choice of between Henry Editorial Comment RAIN FOR THE ROGUE Dryland farmers of the south ern Rogue valley feel aggrieved at what they consider the too great success of the hail preven tion program the pear growers and packers of the central valley surrounding Medford have car ried on for the past three years. The artificial nucleation from airplanes of thunderheads that might bring hail to the valley during fruit time, theoretically so modifying the interior work ings of the cloud that it pro duces snow or rain instead of hail, has been an apparent suc cess. At least, there has been no hail damage in the last three seasons. To the fruit men, who suf fered a loss of $1,200,000 from hail in 1948, the absence of hail has been money in the bank, whether or not the cloud seed ing has had anything to do with it The fruit men are not only convinced that the cloud seed ing has worked but are also con vinced that its continuation is vital to their $11,000,000 annual industry. The hail prevention program costs them an average of one-half cent a box, while sorting out hail damaged fruit used to cost from 10 to 20 cents a box. Coincident with the success of the anti-hail program, the dry land farmers and cattle ranch ers in the southern end of the valley. have had what to them appear unusually dry summers. They blame the cloudseeders, who, they maintain, now dis perse the thunderheads that used to bring spring and summer showers. Facts are hard to come by and dif icult to apply in weather controversies. The pear men and their weather control operators asserted at a hearing on the Rogue controversy by a legisla tive interim committee that re cent summers have been no more dry than many others of the 50 years in which rainfall records have been kept in the valley. Last summer was par ticularly dry everywhere and the cloud seeders showed charts which tended to demonstrate there was no less rainfall meas ured in the areas over which they worked during particular storms than in the areas over which they did not fly their planes. The pearmen had statistics on their side; the dryland farmers who have banded themselves in to a "Moisture Conservation League" their memory of past weather and the unarguable point that their fields have dried in the summer. Memory is not a reliable guide to weather con ditions, but neither, in a margin al situation, are rainfall meas urements the most reliable of statistics. A heavy local shower may not hit a measuring gauge or one that hits a gauge may not reach a farmer's parched field five miles away. At any rate, statistics or no, the farm ers will believe what they be lieve. A comparatively wet spring and summer in the Rogue val ley would ease the tensions that now exist between the fruit growers and the dry landers. Lacking the good grey rain, the solution will not be easy. No easier is the question of recommending general laws for-j weather control operations which faces the legislature s in terim committee. It is to its cred it that it is going about the chore in a serious and careful manner and with scientific coun sel. It should recommend a law that will adequately safeguard the interests of all but which will not inhabit scientific and technological advances in the developing field of weather con trol. The Oregonian. PHONE 2-2935 George and Stonewall Jackson. tie chose the former. Saturated in Faith His earliest and most endur ing influences stemmed from a family environment that was sat urated in faith faith in self, in country in Divine Providence. The dignity and value of work was at its core. Work was every one'e portion and without work there was neither rest nor re ward. A man of great energy, raised in such an atmosphere, is likely to avoid the habit of allegiance to rigid conventions and accept ed ways of doing things. Such self-reliance is clearly a part of Gen. Eisenhower's character. In addition to the quotations from Gen. Eisenhower in the foregoing articles, there have been incidents in his life and anecdotes about him which also help to show what kind of a man he is and what he believes in. In Paris there turned up not long ago a major general who had been his contemporary at West Point; on one evening in the barracks the future major general, horrified, watched Cadet Eisenhower roll a cigarette and smoke it. "You know," Gen. Eisenhower reminisced in Paris, "I still can't understand how so-and-so got those two stars. He's always been afraid to break a regula tion." Minds Get Inorown He once reflected on club men: "Their clubs are no change from their offices almost iden tically the same mahogany fur niture, well-fed gentlemen, com plaints about the government. Their minds get ingrown. Yet, they're supposed to set the nat- tern for the country that the rest oi us live. Why don t they go home where they can have all sorts of people in and learn from them? We'd all be better off!" In 1942, at Gibraltar, he sat at an oaken table and wrote on a pad: "Inconsequential thoughts of a commander during one of the interminable "waiting periods.' "War brings about strange, sometimes ridiculous situations. In my service, I've often thought or dreamed of commands, peace commands, battle commands, ad ministrative commands, etc. One I now have could never, under any conditions, have entered my mind even fleetingly. I have op erational command of Gibraltar! The symbol of the solidity of the uritisn empire the hallmark of safety and security at home the jealously euarded rock that has played a tremendous part in tne trade development of the English race! An American is in charge and I am he. Hun- dreds of feet within the bowels of the Rock itself I have my CP. I simply MUST have a grand child or I'll never have the fun of telling this when I'm fishing, grey-oearded, on the banks of a quiet bayou in the deep south." Back in Sentemher. 104a when Gen. Eisenhower was sure that Gen. Marshall would lead the assault against the European continent (nowhere in hundreds of pages and thousands of words of his correspendence is there any hint that he ever suspected that he himself might be chosen), he wrote the Chief of Staff: "I gather that you are to have two Armies. I think you should consider Patton for the command of one of those armies. Manv generals constantly think of bat tle in terms of, first, concentra tion, supply, maintenance, re placement, and. second, after all the above is arranged, a conser vative advance. This tvne of person is necessary because he prevents one from courtine dis aster. But occasions arise when one has to remember that under particular conditions, boldness is ten times as important as num bers. Patton's strength is that ne thinks only m terms of at tack as long as there is a single battalion that can keen arivanr. ing. Moreover, the man has a shrewdness that operates in such a way that his troops always seem to have ammunition and sufficient food no matter where they are."

MEDFORD 5Sir Who Are Marshall, himself was Eisenhow- er. In 1951, when Gen. Eisen hower, home from the Philip pines, was on maneuvers with Gen. Kreuger's 3rd Army in the south, he wrote to his old friend, (then Brig. Gen.) L. T. Gerow: "One of the things that is causing the greatest trouble is that of eliminating unfit officers, of all grades and of all compon ents. It is a hard thing to do, and in many cases it is too hard for some of the people in charge. But it is a job that has got to be done." In January, 1942, when he was working on war plans in Wash ington and things were going badly in the Pacific, be noted on a desk pad: "... what job to work with Allies! There is a lot of big talk and desk hammering around the place but far few doers. They announce results in advance in a flashy way and make big im pressions, but the results often do not materialize and then the workers get the grief." Gen. Eisenhower also had writ ten a memorandum to himself. "The struggle to secure the adoption by all concerned of a common concept of strategical objectives is wearing me down. Everybody is too much engaged with smail things of his own or with some vague idea of large political activity to realize what we are doing rather, not do ing. "We have got to go to Europe and fight and we have got to quit wasting resources all over the world and still worse wasting time. If we're to keep Russia in, save the Middle East India and Burma; we have got to begin slugging with air at West Europe; to be followed by land attack as soon as possible. In the spring of 1942 Gen. Marshall had returned from Lon don. Gen. Eisenhower hoped that at long last and after months of struggle by the War Plans Division one concept for fighting the war might now de velop. "If we can only agree," he told a staff conference the day after the Chief of Staff's return. "On major purposes and objec tives, our efforts will begin to fall in line and we won't just be thrashing around in the dark." He feared, however, that not one man in twenty in the government including the War and Navy Departments realized what a grisly, dirty, tough busi ness they were in. "They think we can buy victory!" he added scornfully, speaking of those who nrooosed a host nf hinux that did not involve bloodshed or battle.
