Editorial Comment
Congratulations to the
Mail Tribune
The Mail Tribune at Medford
on Sunday entered its 47th
year as a county publication
and to the owners and staff of
this fine newspaper, The Times
says:
"Congratulations, and many
more successful years!".
The newspaper that is now
The Mail Tribune was founded
on March 22, 1906, as the Med
ford Tribune. It succeeded ear
lier papers, Including the Med
ford Mail, founded in 1880; the
Southern Oregonian, founded in
1902; the Democrat Times,
founded in 1872, and the Ash
land Times, which was founded
in 1906 and later moved to Med
ford and consolidated with the
Tribune.
For nearly a quarter of a cen
tury The Times editor has been
connected with newspapers large
and small; has judged their
faults and their good points.
We can say in all earnestness
that the present Medford Mail
Tribune is a good newspaper,
representative of the county seat
city and we wish them further
success in the years ahead.

Editorial Correspondence
' San Francisco, March 31
President and Mrs. Truman wept as they were driven from the
Armory in Washington, D.C., Saturday night following the Jeffer
son Day speech' at the close of which the President said he was not,
and would not be, a candidate for re-election.
" If this report is true they must have wept with joy at least
SHOULD have.
For surely Mrs. Truman must have been greatly relieved to
know there will not be four more years in the White House r
where she has never been really happy; and while the President
has been happy there for. seven years, he must realize and must
have realized for a long time that he would not be happy if he
Had to live there for four MORE years. (And 'almost as UNhappy
were the people of the United States to demonstrate by their votes
they did not want him there.)
So if there WERE tears sometimes radio announcers are
more romantic than factual we
record they were joyous ones.
They should have been joyous for another reason. For never
before did President Truman appear in public to greater advan
tage than he did Saturday night, March 29, nineteen hundred and
filty-two.
Why?
Because HST was in his element!
. As he stated in his speech, he likes politics and there he was
in the midst of them also. He is
cratic party. He is a two-fisted outspoken fighting 100 PAR
TISAN. Just as such qualities are in great demand and appreciated
more at Lincoln Day dinners by REPUBLICANS than at any other
gathering; for the same reason they are more appreciated by Demo
crats at, the annual Jefferson Day
- As stated, the President was
as good a time twisting the elephant's tail, and kicking the old
pachyderm in the rear section, as our late and lamented Colonel
Bob Washburn used to have at those Lincoln Day jamborees at
the Hotel Medford belaboring
Moreover those qualities of extreme partisanship and narrow preju
dice which might have been regarded as improper from a Presi
dent of the country all the country on any other occasion, were
completely fitting and in good taste at this rowdy party gathering.
So H.S.T. just let himself go had the time of his life and
with the field day over and his decision not to run again over also,
he undoubtedly felt like a million dollars and had cause to.
Only slightly less interesting and enlightening than the Presi
dent's perfectly-timed "bomb-shell," were the political repercus
sions thereof. This was especially true in the Republican ranks.
How characteristic was the comment of "Mr. Republican,"
for example, when he first heard the news. It was, of course, just
nnlitioal Tchabod Crane. But alwavs think
ing first of votes, and calculating

So he played safe by more noncommittal double-talk, to wit:
"This Is purely a Democratic concern.
I have no comment."
a perfect Taftian HALF-truth.,
Technically, of course, the refusal of Truman to run again
vas and is chiefly a problem for his party, but no one realized
more acutely than Mr. Republican that it completely "changed his
own status and that of the Republican party.
For the theory of the Taft reactionaries from the outset has
been that Truman could be beaten by ANYBODY. The unpopular
ity of the Korean war, they believed, the tax and corruption scan
dals, added to the natural popular aesire tor a -cnange, wouia
make him or anv urominent member of his administration a
"dead-duck" politically speaking.
difference, who the GOP nominee
the GOP would be a "push-over.
That argument, in fact, was
hower forces had to overcome. For it was generally conceaea even
by many of Taft's strong supporters, that General Eisenhower
would be a better vote getter than "Mr. Republican." But WHY
go out of the sacred inner and upper circles of the Grand Old
Party when the candidate whoever he might be, couldn't lose?
Why indeed?
But now what a difference!
Former Governor Stasseri told the truth when he said, quote:
"This will make tha Democrats more difficult to beat!"
It WILL!
...-'.
In other words, the retirement 6f President Truman may very
well so completely transform the entire political situation, that
Senator Taft won't even have a majority of the ORGANIZATION
votes when the GOP convention opens in Chicago in July. It may
be so clear then (even to the "blind-men") that unless the Repub
licans choose the strongest candidate they can get they are in for
another beating. This may be so self-evident, that the candidate
recognized as the weakest with the people (Taft) will be out of it,
as a REAL contender before the 3-ring circus opens. (Please note
in the above, the subjunctive case!)
Equally typical and revealing as to the essential character of
the man and men was Governor Warren's reaction when he
heard the news, quote: ' . v
"I can quit understand President Truman's decision. I
wish him and his family tha best of luck."
Spoken like the gentleman he is broad-gauge, generous,
above mean, cheap, petty partisanship a candidate showing every
day in every way, more and more clearly he is of genuine presi
dential calibre.
e e
And the pay-off for cheapness and mean, picayune, partisan
ship? This naturally was produced by the "second choice" of the
Taft cabal, Senator Dirksen of Illinois, quote:
"Tha country is to be congratulated!"
.a-
(The Democrats are also to be congratulated upon having a
man like this Kickapoo Indian revivalist from the Sucker State,
as one of the Republican party's favorite spokesmen, and honored
leaders!) '
Another terrible juvenile crime shocks the city of San Fran
ciso or does it? Shortly after President Truman "chose not to
run" a score of teen-agers full of beer and corn whiskey, scrambled
out of the Butchers annual ball in Civic Center and started what
is known as a gang-war. This usually is a test of strength and bru
tality, between groups armed only with brass-knuckles, belt
buckles, and perhaps shoes with steel cleats, with fists, of course,
added. But this time, one of them a handsome boy of 19, Robert
Ranson by name, leader of the Portola gang had a 45 automatic
in a shoulder holster. Taunted by the Fillmore Street leaders he
started shooting and when the smoke cleared two boys were dead,
one dying, four others wounded, two SERIOUSLY!
- Now the local chief-of -police is rounding up these "rowdy
gangs" and "giving them the works" whatever that means.
Why doesn't he find out FIRST, who gave the kids the beer
needled with corn? There is a local law against serving or selling
intoxicants to minors. There is also a law against carrying firearms
without a permit or buying guns with one, for minors.
Where do these teen-agers get their liquor and their firearms?
Finding out would not solve the problem of course but finding out
would help just as law enforcement would help.
Meanwhile that other "handsome lad" also under 21 who ad
mitted he brutally attacked and killed a teen-age S.F. girl, also had
enjoyed a few drinks of beer spiked with whiskey. Now he has
changed his story (after a consultation with the city's leading crimi
nal lawyer) and now says the fisticuffs were "ONLY IN PLAY";
the defenseless high school girl, dead and buried in an unmarked
grave who can't tell her story, he says, "died of other causes!"

Matter of Fact
AFTER TRUMAN'S
ANNOUNCEMENT
Washington: One thing at least
is clear about President Tru
man's flat-voiced announcement
that he will not run again. Per
haps by concert, perhaps by de
sign, it puts Gov. Adlai Steven
son, of Illinois, on a very hot
spot indeed.
Sen. Estes Kefauver may be
out winning primaries. Sen. Rob
ert Kerr may be campaigning in
Nebraska. Sen. Richard Russell
may have in fact undoubtedly
does have the whole Southern
group of delegates in the bag.
But as of today, the really mas
sive support of the big states is
most likely to go to Gov. Stev
enson, provided he is even a
mildly co-operative candidate.
Thus Mr. President has in effect
abruptly forced Gov. Stevenson
to decide whether to talk him
self out of the Democratic nom
ination. Perhaps he will be well on his
way to doing just that before
these words are printed he had
a strong tendency to do so before
the president spoke. But if only
for history's sake, it is at least
worth recording the results of a
careful nation-wide survey of
Stevenson's potential strength,
which was conducted in part by
President Truman's own request
and communicated to -the presi
dent before he went off to Key
West to make his final decision.
The surveyors, who were
headed by Gov. Paul Dever, of
Massachusetts, one of the most
astute political professionals in
the business, found strong indica
tions of the most powerful sup
port for Gov. Stevenson among
Democrats in almost all North
ern and border states, from Con
necticut right across the country
to Oregon. It is no use tabulating
states, since the situation is in
definitely too uncertain for any
thing of that sort, but the lead
ers who have tentatively indi
cated Stevenson proclivities ti l
the story to any politically prac
ticed eye.
TN CONNECTION, Sens. Mc-
Mahon and Benton are on the
list. So are the chieftains of both
factions in Indiana, Gov. Schrick
er and Democratic National
chairman McKinney. So are
Gov. Williams, of Michigan, Sen.
Murray, of Montana, the princi
pal leaders in New York and
New Jersey, and National Com
mitteeman David Lawrence in
Pennsylvania. M a s s a chusetts,
where Gov. )ever, the. original
pro-Stevenson professional, ab
solutely controls the delegation,
and Illinois, Stevenson's own
state, must also be listed, as may
be the delegate strength of a big
chunk of Ohio, and probably
Mmnesota and Missouri.
. What this roster adds up to is
the conclusion that Stevenson
has much the best chance to get
the" nomination, provided first
that he wants it, and second that
he does not spend the next three
months with his foot practically
permanent ly lodged in his
mouth.
The best indices of the form
so far (which probably influ
enced the timing and character
of the president's announcement)
are the two talks Stevenson is
known to' have had with Truman
at their January meeting at Blair
House. Truman said he probably
would not -be a candidate again,
indicated he personally favored
Stevenson and asked the Illinois
governor to become a candidate.
In a later telephone conversa
tion, Stevenson left the door of
the future -open, 'but, said that
he was committed to run again
for governor of Illinois and
urged that lie could not simul
taneously become an announced
candidate for the presidency,
even on a tentative basis.
The president is known to
have been more than a little put
out because the Illinois governor
failed to meet his original gen
erous overture at least half way.;
Otherwise, the president's an
nouncement would probably
have been accompanied by some
sort of sign, informal or other,

outlay of about fifteen hundred
clothes and cosmetics I had
in order to get it."
iy Joseph and
Stewart Also
that Stevenson was his chosen
successor. But as the president
certainly knew, the absence of
such a sign by no means greatly
reduces Stevenson's potential
strength. It may even have some
advantages, if Stevenson does
not continue to shrink from the
prospect opening but before him.
.
fPHE reasons for the president's
personal decision, long fore
cast in this space, hardly need
be set down again. In. deciding
to withdraw, Mr. Truman has
shown once more his curious
knack of rising to big choices,
often the very day after he has
stumbled over the smallest ones.
Since Mr. Truman kept even
the Democratic leaders who are
closest to him (including Demo
cratic Chairman McKinney) on
tenter-hooks of lingering uncer
tainty until the very last mo
ment, no one on earth can fore
tell the outcome of the resulting
turmoil in the Democratic party.
Especially if Gov. Stevenson con
tinues to be coy, the party pro
fessionals are quite likely to
find themselves landed with Sen.
Kefauver or even Sen. Kerr. The
announcements of other candi
dates may also be expected in
due course.
It is fairly easy to foretell, on
the other hand, that the presi
dent's decision will at least
strengthen the current Republi
can tendency. Sen. Robert A.
Taft's campaign strategy has
been built on the theory of an
eventual fight against Mr. Tru
man. And even a big victory to
balance off Sen. Taft's recent re
verses in the primaries will
hardly overcome the effect of
the unkindly and perhaps wholly
unreliable pells, if these now
continue to show Sen. Taft being
defeated by almost any 'Demo
crat but the president himself.

From Munsan, Korea:
"United Nations truce nego
tiators said today that ONLY
THE KREMLIN knows why the
communists adamantly insist
that Russia help police an armis
tice (if an armistice should be
agreed on.)"
YF I had to guess, I'd say they
know we won't (and can't) ac-1
cept Russia as a neutral armis
tice referee and inspector, that
they want to keep us embroiled
indefinitely in Korea, and so
they stand pat on their "accept
Russia or else" demand.
General Collins, army chief
of staff, told a subcommittee of
the house of representatives the
other day that the Korean cam
paign has already cost the
ARMY alone more than EIGHT
BILLION DOLLARS.
That isn't hay, even in a coun
try as big and rich as ours. If I
were Stalin, I'd certainly figure
that if I could keep the United
States pouring money down the
Korean rathole at that rate I was
cutting s fat hog.
HAVE you been following this
Nishioka business that has
bobbed up in Oregon? If not,
you've been missing something.
It's interesting. -
At a recent session (it was in
1951, as I recall it)' the Oregon
legislature enacted a fair em
ployment practices law. . The
law prohibits discrimination by
employers because of race or
religion.
That is to say, 4 you have a
job open and if a Jap or a China
man or a Hindu or a Hottentot
or an Esikmo applies for it and
qualifies for it you can't refuse
to employ him because of his
race or his color or his creed.

But in learning that govern
ments everywhere are tightening
up their tax systems, as well as

across some pretty cute tricks
that might work over here, n,
that is, you don't mind flirting
with a snell in jail.
In France, for example, if
you're a salaried worker, you
haven't got a chance. The tax
collector will get you because
your income is reported under
the social security system. But if
you're a businessman, shopkeep

No Written Records
First, you might do all your
business in cash, keeping no writ
ten records. That's an old gag
over here, too, but the French
carry it one better in a sort of
cat and mouse game wnicn ouui
sides enioy.
A prominent professional man
reports a ridiculously low in
come, and so the tax collector
checks up on his standard of
living. "
Meanwhile, the professional
man lives the year around in a
beautifully furnished apartment,
surrounded by his art objects and
other evidences of expensive
living. That is, he is surrounded
by it. All but one day oi xne yeu
Tn Midst of Poverty
That's the day the tax collector
stops by and finds his intended
victim who has been tipped off
in advance sitting in the midst
of poverty, his fine furnishings
gone, and giving every evidence
of being lucky to have a roof
over his head.
- ThP result no taxes
Thousands of small French
farmers spring from generations
who never paid taxes, regard a
tax collector in about the same
way our cartoon hillbillies iook
at a "rev'nooer" and will toss
him off the property on sight
lust as a matter of pride.
Conservative estimates place
France's tax losses through eva
sion at more than $1,000,000,000
per year.
Charged as Expenses
In Germany, it's common prac
tice for a company to furnish
car, chauffeur, home and staff to
top employees and charge it off
as operating expenses. It saves
money for both company and
employee.
It used to be in Italy that tax
collectors tracked down people

and finally arrive at an agreed

He placed first but another
man was hired for the job.
THEREUPON State Labor
"- Commissioner W. E. Kimsey
accused the state tax commission
of violating- Oregon's new
F.E.P. law. State Tax Commis
sioner Ray Smith replied that it
isn't so, that the state civil serv
ice board certified three appli
cants (including Nishioka, who
had placed first in the examina
tion) and that "an attempt was
made to choose the person best
suited."
But Kimsey says Smith and
Jason Lee (Lee is the state tax
commission personnel officer)
"told a member of my staff that
Nishioka was not hired because
of his race." So there the matter
stands.
Nishioka says he's going to
fight for the job.
PERSONALLY, I don't believe
in these fair employment
practices laws. I don't think sit
uations , like that can be or
should be handled--BY LAW,
which involves force. I think
they can be better handled by
education, human tolerance and
fair-mindedness. That method
takes longer, but it will work
better in the end. I think situa
tions like this one involving
Nishioka will keep recurring,
and each recurrence will bring
ill will and hard feeling that
will INFLAME race prejudices
instead of ending them.

Hunting Upheld
To the Editor: Obviously Mr
Abbott, whose letter appeared
in the Mail Tribune, has been
misinformed. First, let us take
the pheasant. Though a great
number are domestically raised,
this by no means implies that
once released they remain tame.
If Mr. Abbott has ever hunted
pheasants, as I have most of my
life, he would have found that
after a few shots have been fired
they are as hard 'to find as the
old biddy hen's teeth. They are
masters at the art of hide and
seek.
Now let us take the dove. The
hunting of these is an art in it
self. Dove hunting isn't crowded
in this valley and if you can show
me a hunter that can consistently
kill doves, even with our mod
ern weapons, I'll take off my hat
to him.
It seems obvious to me that
Mr. Abbott hasn't had much ex
perience in the field or else he
hasn't profited by it. I've had
more than one deer outsmart me
and I'm not alone in this experi
ence. Let me clarify another point.
The expense of raising pheasants
doesn't fall on the public but is
paid for through the fees from
hunters themselves.
If unwarranted killing is mor
ally wrong please explain Gen
esis, the ninth chapter and vers.es
3 and 4 which read in part:
Every moving thing that liveth
shall be meat for you; even as
