Sailors Ask Letters
To the Editor: This letter may
come as somewhat of a surprise
to you, due to the fact that we
are unknown to your town, ex
cept for a brief visit in which
we found that your town was
most clean and the people
friendly to us.
I suppose you are wondering
why we picked your town? Well,
first let us explain our situation.
We are two sailors serving with
the seventh fleet off the Korean
coast. This is our second tour of
action in this area. The first
lasted 11 months and the present
to last nine months, three of
which have been served.
Never realizing, on the first
tour, our need for mail, we are
calling on your aid to make this
tour more bearable.
We would be grateful if you
would urge some pen pals near
our own age, 21 years, to write
us.
Please do not think us brazen

Schoth Eyes German Farms
y wawsswaanaisssssssswaBBBSwasss
Dr. H. A. Schoth, senior agronomist of the United
States Department of Agriculture, who has been sta
tioned at Oregon State College and in charge of all
experiment stations on the Pacific coast for some
years, has been in Germany since the first of the year
sizing up field agriculture for the German and Amer
ican governments. Attached to the Office of Economic
Affairs, Food and Agriculture Division of the U. S.
high commissioner for Germany, Dr. Schoth is cover
ing all ten states in West Germany, his particular
interest being field crops, grasses, legumes, cereals,
field seed production, forage handling, livestock feed
ing and housing, fertilizer uses, machinery, potatoes,
drainage, irrigation and other details of farming as
practiced in the occupied country.
A letter which Dr. Schoth wrote to a Medford
friend recently, setting forth some of his observations
is of interest locally for the agronomist is well known
in the Rogue valley due to his having devoted much
attention to the same branches of agriculture here
which are now engaging his time in Germany.
Dr. Schoth wrote that he had seen hundreds of
farms, many agricultural schools and industries, visit
ed seed and feed concerns and had talked to numer
ous prominent agriculturists since his arrival.
GENERAL, the farms in the occupied area are of
two classes small, and large with few in-betweens.
The small farms run from one to three or
four hectares (a hectare is 2.47 acres), and the own
ers mostly live in nearby villages. The larger farms
run as- high as 150 hectares and the owners usually
live on them or in the cities and hire managers to
carry on the farm work.
Despite the fact that West Germany is only about
the size of the state of Oregon, it has nearly 50,000,000
population, and, according to Dr. Schoth, the number
of children he has seen indicates the population is
growing rapidly. The heavy influx of refugees into
the region is adding to the problem and already there
is considerable unemployment.
e
TN HIS contacts with the people, Dr. Schoth has
found them friendly, cooperative and eager to
please. They are generally of two classes poor, and
fairly well-to-do. People of wealth are few and far
between, he notes. Of the poor there are two classes
poor, and very poor the latter mostly being those
who are trying to eke out a living on little patches
of undesirable land, "fighting for every spud they
grow."
Though living costs are high the people generally
seem to eat pretty well; potatoes, the national dish,
gracing most meals. Other vegetables are scarce as
few grow them. Fruit, especially apples, is fairly plen
tiful and there is a lesser supply of pears, prunes,
cherries and berries.
Pork is No. 1 on the meat side of the diet in West
Germany, Dr. Schoth has found, with beef, horse
meat and poultry following in the order named. Many
kinds of sausage are made and these with other
forms of preserved meats are very popular. Eggs are
imported from Holland and Denmark.
The West Germans are quite well clothed, most of
the apparel being of semi-coarse material and long
wearing. The "city dandies" wear pin-stripes, English
tweeds and other more expensive duds.
e e
TAIRYING forms the principal livestock phase, the
Germans using the largest animals thejr can get,
mostly a brown and white breed averaging 1500
pounds in weight, which can be used for meat and
work as well as milking. Though the cows only pro
duce about 200 quarts of milk a year thousands of
cow oxen furnish farm power. Naturally, because of
their size and hard work, one cow can eat more than
two men can feed it, Dr. Schoth remarks.
There is no beef production such as in the United
States and cattle diseases are rampant, including
bangs, tuberculosis and hoof and mouth. Every effort
is being made to clean up the situation but Dr. Schoth
declares it will be a long pull. Horses, once numerous,
are being replaced by tractors.
Thousands of hogs are raised, practically all whites
of a local breed. They are fed largely on potatoes,
either fresh cooked, or cooked and preserved in silos.
There are few sheep, no goats, no rabbits, a few
"manure-pile" chickens, and only an occasional goose,
duck or turkey.
EXISTING pastures, mainly enjoyed by the cattle
with lesser tracts for hogs, horses and sheep, are
planted to English rye, meadow fescue, timothy, red
top, bents, meadow foxtail, tall oats, golden oats, or
velvet. For legumes the farmers use alfalfa, red al
sike, yellow crimson and white clovers, lotus corni
culatus and espersette. There are weeds in plenty.
The American breeds and strains of grasses do
not do as well as the Germans' own, the latter be
lieve, and consequently they prefer to use only home
grown seed. Incidentally, seed production is being
pushed everywhere, according to the Oregon agro
nomist who expressed the opinion that the Germans
will soon be overloaded with seed. ;
TTHE cooperative system has caught on with farm-
ers of West Germany, according to Dr. Schoth
who estimates that there are two millon farmers and
three million cooperative members, indicating that
some of the farmers belong to several co-ops.
There are many trucks and cars in the region, the
cars being small, air-cooled affairs costing around
$400 and going 30 to 40 miles on a gallon of low
grade gas. Best grade gasoline costs 85 cents per
gallon while the low grade brings 60 cents.
Dr. Schoth, who said he expected to return home
in July, wound up his letter with the observation that
he should be a pretty good judge of wine by the time
he leaves. The water not being potable, he is forced
to make out on other liquids. E.C.F.

Matter of Fact
LAST CHANCE IN EGYPT.
Washington OI.R) A sullen
surface calm now reigns in
Egypt. The same sort of calm
reigned in Iran a little more
than a year ago, before the assas
sination of then Premier Raz
mara sparked the crisis which
still threatens the whole Middle
East. And the parallel is a dead
ly one. For another explosion
of the most dangerous kind is
sure to come soon in Egypt, in
the view of the most exper
ienced observers, unless the cur
ious, lethargic paralysis which
has afflicted Western policy in
the Middle East ever since the
war can somehow be shaken off.
King Farouk of Egypt is capa
ble of acting with decision, as
he proved when he courageously
dismissed the corrupt, fanatic
ridden government of Premier
Nahas Pasha during the bloody
rioting last January. Yet now
the King is frightened, and' he
has reason to be.
For the first time, the power
ful Wafd party of Nahas Pasha
has become openly anti-royalist
Farouk and his able, honest new
Premier, Hilaly Pasha, are being
lumped together with the Brit
ish as the enemies of Egypt. If
the Wafd, the only organized
political party in Egypt, again
takes power, Farouk is doomed.
So, for that matter, is any chance
of reaching a reasonable agree
ment between Egypt and the
West. There is just one way by
which the ground can be cut out
from under the Wafd, and that
is by at least reasonably suc
cessful negotiation between the
new Egyptian government and
the British.
THE crucial
come," one
moment will
of these re-
porters wrote from Cairo last
autumn, "when the present gov
ernment (of Nahas Pasha), dis
credited by its own incompe
tence', can safely be replaced by
King Farouk. Any new govern
ment will be quite literally the
last chance for the West."
The crucial moment has come,
and the government of Hilaly
Pasha is almost certainly "the
last chance for the West" If it
is ever to be possible to reach
any sort of rational agreement
with the Egyptians, it should be
possible now, when moderate
and reasonable men, at least by
Middle Eastern standards, con
trol the Egyptian government.
Yet nothing is done.
There are various reasons why
nothing is done. Farouk, fearful
of the reaction of his Wafdist
enemies, fears to permit Hilaly
to enter into negotiations. Sir
Ralph Stephenson, British am
bassador in Cairo, and his able
American opposite number, Jef
ferson Caff ery, have been urging
that the British nevertheless take
the initiative. But the British
commander on the spot. Gen. Sir
John Erskine, inclines to the
simple military solution; before
Farouk dismissed Nahas, Erskine
had detailed plans for occupying
Alexandria and Cairo if Farouk
failed to act
Aside from its explosive po
litical implications, the trouble
with this sort of simple solution
is that the British themselves
have estimated that it would re
quire a permanent garrison of
between 60,000 and 70,000 Brit
ish troops to occupy all Egypt
This would knock the planned
British contribution into a
cocked hat Even so, the Penta
gon rather inclines to the Erskine
view.
rpHE ' British Foreign Office,
moreover, is under extreme
pressure from the Conservative
party's own hack-benchers ' to
stand firm" against the Egyp
tians. And the Foreign Office is
inclined to hope that somehow
Farouk and Hilaly Pasha can
keep the Wafd under control, by
using the "corruption, issue'.'
against it Since corruption is
the normal state of affairs in the
Egyptian government,' and al
ways has been, this . seems a
forlorn hope. As for the State
Department it suffers as usual
from divided counsel. The Euro
pean division .would like simply
to "leave it up to the British,"
Pf RoJaitd Cm
r
while the Middle East experts
generally agree with Stephenson
and Caff ery that something must
be done if , disaster - is to be
avoided.
The q u'e s t i o n remains, of
course, whether-it is possible to
reach rational agreement even
with the government of Farouk
and Hilaly. Some sort of Western
influence and western power
must be maintained in Egypt and
the Middle East generally. But
Egyptian adherence to the Mid
die East Defense Command
automatically ensures the avail
ability of the Western alliance of
bases in Egypt' And; as . Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden has
more than implied,' . Western
strength in the Middle East need
not necessarily take the form of
tens of thousands of v British
troops permanently stationed on
Egyptian soil.
It may indeed be impossible
to .negotiate, reasonably - even
with the present moderate Egyp
tian government. It will not be
easy under any circumstances.
But surely it is worth a serious
try. A little foresight combined
with a sense of timing and a feel
ing for the realities of the situ
ation, might 'rather easily have
prevented the Iranian crisis. A
worse Egyptian crisis may still
be averted in the same way, al
though with much difficulty
But it is already very late. .

Br LYLE C WILSON
Washington (U.R) General
Dwight D. Eisenhower leaned
back in his big office chair and
said he would put duty before
all other considerations in 1952.
But he didn't aspire to be presi
dent of the United States. Not
Ike. He already had a big job
right there where he was. But
if duty called hmrhm. He was
a soldier.
That was last November. I saw
General Eisenhower then at
Supreme Headquarters of Allied
Forces in Europe, at Rocquen
court, France. He would not
even utter the word "Republi
can" five months ago, nor the
word "Democratic," either.
Avowed Republican Now
There have been some chang
es. The general is an avowed
Republican now. He is an active
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in every
sense, barring his personal ap
pearance here on the stump.
Eisenhower belted Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft right out of the ring
in the New Hampshire presi
dential primary. The number of
voters who wrote in the gen
eral's name in this week's Min
nesota . primary soared well
above 100,000. New Jersey is the
next big personal test for Eisen
hower and the breaks there seem
to be going this way. New Jer
sey's primary takes place
April 15.
All Chiefs. No Indians
All of this has been brought
about by a campaign organiza
tion well heeled with money but
with so many managers, co
managers and other managers as
to inspire the crack that it was
aU chiefs and no Indians. It did
not look like it would work. But
it has worked so far. The man
agers have a candidate with
political sex appeal.
Step by step, Eisenhower has
been led from his position of
last November to his present
position and as his campaigners
survey results so far they barely
can restrain themselves from
dancing in the streets.
' The first step was a carefully
maneuvered deal to obtain from
Eisenhower acknowledg m e n t
that he was a Republican. He
had been cagey about his poli
tics. When preparing to vote in
local New York elections during
his term at Columbia univer
sity, the general inquired of a
trusted friend whether he had to
declare himself when he regis
tered. Informed that he was not
required to do so, Eisenhower
registered as an independent.
Willing To Be Candidate
So his backers had to smoke
him out. That was because many
persons balked at a candidate
News
time the office shall seek the
man. They like the way you've
conducted yourself so far.
So, if I were you, I'd go on
doing as you've been doing.
FTHE Senate foreign relations
committee invites you to
come home and testify on the
$7,900,000,000 foreign aid bill,
I'd come. After all, you are our
TOP AUTHORITY on what
Europe needs in the way of aid.
Our Congress needs the testi
mony of men like you in mat
ters such as this.
I'd answer aU the questions
the senators ask me,- giving my
frank, HONEST opinion. Then,
when they were all through
with me, I'd head back to Paris
and take up my job where I laid
it down to come home and tes
tify.
I WOULDN'T make any cam
paign speeches.
rpHATS the way I feel about it,
"- Ike. I'm just one voter. But
I'm also an employer. When I
NEED A MAN for a grave and
important job I'm inclined to go
out and SEEK HIM MYSELF,
instead of waiting for him to
hunt me up, bragging loudly
about himself as he enters my
office.
WHILE Tm at it, I d like to add
" that in this year of decision
the Republican convention won't
be through even if it picks a can
didate in whom the people have
confidence. It will still need a
set of principles.
Tf I were writing the Repub
lican platform I'd write a REAL
ISTIC one one that recognizes
the dangers we face as a nation.
In" it, I'd spread no molasses to
catch flies. I'd use no weasel
words. I'd face facts.
Then, when I'd covered the de
tails, I'd add this statement
"We can promise you only
blood, sweat and tears for the
immediate future. WITH NA
TIONAL SOLVENCY AND PER
PETUATION OF THE AMERI
CAN WAY AS THE ULTIMATE
REWARD FOR THE SACRI
FICES WE SHALL CALL UPON
YOU TO MAKE."
HPHAT would be a grim plat-
form. '
But these are grim times.
If the Republican party wins
the election next November and
then has nothing better to offer
than a new and fancier and more
guttering wand to wave, its ad
ministration will fail and the re
sult will be a backwash of dis
illusionment that wiU sweep us
into complete . socialism.
who might turn up in the other
party's camp. Along with his
declaration ' of the Republican
faith, Eisenhower said he was
willing to have his name placed
in presidential primary contests
and ultimately in nomination for
the presidency.
But he said he would not join
in his friends' pre-convention ef
forts to obtain the nomination
for him. He did not quibble
about it. Simply said he would
not come back to campaign.
That stumped his campaigners
and still worries ' them. Eisen
hower seems to be sticking to it
but not quite so firmly now as
last January when he made the
pledge.
Whispering assurances that
"Ike is coming back," accomp
anied even by the approximate
date, are a dime a dozen around
Washington now and have been
for some time. Most of his east
ern campaign managers and co
managers believe he will return.
Just now the pressure to re
turn has eased.. Minnesota's
write-in vote on top of the New
Hampshire returns accomplished
that. But the pre-convention
wars are not over. Two swal
lows do not make springtime nor
do a couple of presidential pri
maries make a nomination.
Ike's popular appeal now is
well established. He is open to
the charge, however, of not
meeting the campaign issues of
the day in face-to-face discussion
before the voters. The general's
managers are doing what they
can about that.

Perfect Timing in
Germany Proposals
By PHIL NEWSOM
U.P. Foreign News Editor
In their recent peace proposal
for Germany, the Russians illus
trated again their perfect sense
of timing and
their ability to
seize the initia
tive in world
affairs.
That they
have done so is
illustrated b y
British Foreign

"most careful consideration" and
by the fact that the French and
British foreign ministers are
talking it over in Paris with
West Germany's chancellor, Kon
rad Adenauer.
All this despite the fact that
plans already are far advanced
for West Germany's participa
tion in Gen. Dwight Eisenhow
er's European army and the fact
that West Germany soon is to
be given practically independ
ent status under which Allied
ambassadors will replace com
missioners appointed by the oc
cupation. Hopes To Prevent Cooperation
It is just that independence
and cooperation with the West
that Russia hopes to prevent.
And it is that point which il
lustrates the perfection of the
Russian timing because it hits
two particularly sensitive
chords:
1. The natural German desire
for the elimination of East and
West Germany and a completely
reunified nation.
2. The French preference to
ward a Germany which could
serve primarily as a buffer state
against Russia rather than a re
armed Germany which some
time might pose another military
threat to France.
On its face, the Russian pro
posal seems straight - forward
enough a unified Germany un
der a central government, a
strictly defensive German army
and freedom of religion, speech,
press and thought.
However, in considering it the
Allies have both Russia's past
record in dealing with its sat
ellites and the fact that few,
if any, of Russia's actions in East
Germany have suggested a short
term occupation.
Politically, East Germany has
been set up in the pattern of
Russia and her satellites, includ

pronouncements. And there
were many of them. Newspapers
throughout the country have
been publishing in serial form
current letters from the general
which shortly' are to appear in
bobk form. These are more pro
nouncements on public affairs.
Even the queasy feeling
among organization Republicans
that Eisenhower would not be a
good party man in office has had
the earnest; attention of the
Eisenhower-for-president strate
gists. They recently published a
bit from a letter Ike wrote in
which he said in effect that
party workers had nothing to
fear from him that he would
be on their side.
- So far Eisenhower's managers
have maneuvered with great
skill. The general seems to be
holding out for creation of con
ditions which the public will ac
cept as warranting him in quit
ting his job in Europe for a
whirl in politics. Ike's managers
are doing their utmost to create
conditions like that.
They figure the New Hamp
shire and "Minnesota returns
have done much toward it. But
they have no assurance yet that
Eisenhower ': will come home
until he actually is nominated
by the Republican national con
vention. That would be a clear
call to higher duty, for sure.

would rest easier if Ike would

in which lip service only is paid
to opposition parties. All sug
gestions that UN inspection
teams be allowed to oversee East
Germany elections have been
refused.
Russia set up the East German
democratic republic in 1949, and
this government since has en
tered independently into treaties
of friendship and trade with other-satellite
states; signed away
some 45,000 square miles of Ger
man territory .to Poland, and ac
cepted the -expulsion of some
2,000,000 Germans from the
Sudentenland by Czechoslovakia.
Industrially, also, East Ger
many has been integrated with
Russia. Included has been an
over-all five-year plan to in
crease German production for
the benefit .of Russia and an
attempt to build up in East Ger
many a "little Ruhr."
Despite Russian protest against
formation of a West Germany
army, the Reds themselves have
set one up; in the East. Some
reports say .the East Germans
could put 25 divisions into the
field in six months, as opposed
to the 12 expected from West
Germany for Eisenhower's army.
