Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, May 23 We can think of no better Introduc
tion to a new offering in the line of travelogues than this:
The "Shasta Daylight," for the first time In our many San
Francisco trips, was 35 minutes late at Dunsmuir. That didn't
seem so alarming, until we realized the much-abused "fast time"
prevails In the state of California, and consequently, Instead of
arriving at our San Francisco hotel BEFORE midnight we would
arrive if lucky considerably AFTER.
That we did.
But then at the hotel entrance It was discovered that a cer

of thing, as it has come to so many others, as the years have rolled

will please the "Old Guard" (boys and girls) but they will vote
the ticket straight anyway. To win, the Republicans will have to
get the Independent vote and no Independents will fall for that
discredited line of hooey. This isn't so much a matter of opinion
as of arithmetic.
San Francisco looks about the same except across the street
from our hotel a Kosher restaurant has sprung up with this In
triguing sign:
"The Bon Vlvant, kosher avec Schmaltz." (That is SO much
better than kosher MIT Schmaltz.) Also the old Tivoll theater on
Eddy where we first saw Jack Benney 37 years ago, is now an
entrance to a parking lot!
If General Eisenhower should evolve a feasible method to
prevent strikes In basic industries, he would carry San Francisco
unanimously. San Francisco is about as fed up with labor walk
outs as Los Angeles is with smog and as the taxi man who brought
us up from the ferry said:
"Strikes are like the weather, a lot of talk about them
but nothing done about It. I am a union man, but labor is
just as fed up as the public, and labor suffers from the same
trouble. There's a lot of talk about kicking Harry Bridges
and his Commies out by the unions but tt ends there. The
trouble Is Bridges and his gang go to all the meetings and
the rank-and-file stay home and look at TV. That's the
trouble with this country all around too much talky-talk
and net enough actlonl"
"You can say that again."
We wonder why it is we have never run into a dumb taxi
driver and most of them are well-informed and smart. This one
was unusually literate, wore glasses and looked rather like a chem
istry assistant professor we once knew. He continued on the strike
problem as follows:
"That man Bridges Is going to ruin this town and Hono
lulu too unless they send him to the pen and be quick about
It. They didn't waste any time with Hlii, why should they
with Bridges? they were guilty of the same thine; per
jury. As it is, all the ships that can avoid the Golden Gate
do so and no Big Business wants to build a plant here or
enlarge what they got with one big walk-out following on
the heels ol another. The people all squawk about It, but
what do they do about It? and that goes for labor!"

Matter of Fact
THE NEW LIZZIE BORDENS
Washington The House and
Senate are plainly determined to
deal with this year's defense and
foreign aid appropriations in
the manner of Lizzie Borden in a
peevish moment. Having given
the defense of the United .States
40 whacks some weeks ago, the
House has now given 41 to for
eign aid. The Senate will not be
far behind.
It is important, first, to trace
to its source this spirit of care'
free ax-wielding. The chief
source is the organized group of
business lobbyists, who are al.
ways hard at work here justify
ing their salaries. Among these,
the United States Chamber of
Commerce is the most impor
tant; also, the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers and even
the Committee for Economic De
velopment have been giving a
helping hand.
The U. S. Chamber, which is
like all such outfits in having its
policies mainly formed by its
permanent staff, apparently
made up its mind some time ago
that the election year was the
moment to knock spots out of
the defense program. According
ly it has been rallying the hun
dreds of local Chambers of Com
merce, which are inclined to fol
low their big brother without
asking many questions. The
small business men of the local
Chambers have in turn subject
ed the senators and representa
tives to strong blasts of heat
from back home. And so cut af
ter cut has been voted in both
defense and foreign aid,
"THE important feature of this
process is the reasoning be
hind it. The U. S. Chamber prop
aganda (always headed, "It's
your money they're spending.")
has avoided any frontal attack
on the national security pro
gram. Instead, it has boldly
charged the military services
with "pure waste of $3,000,000.-
000 or more" per year, and has
urged "saving" by across-the-
board cuts. This is, of course,
precisely the method the House
and Senate have adopted.

Among the Married
It is now legally necessary to
be 16 years of age to be mar
ried In Northern Ireland. Until
recently, the age requirements
there for matrimony were 14
for a male and 12 for a female.
I wonder if any 14 year old lad
in northern Ireland ever married
a 12 year old girl. Youngest mar
ried couple I ever heard of was
a 16 year old husband and a 15
year old bride. Everybody said
the marriage would fall, but it
didn't.

however, U. S. Chamber
cials confessed that they
off!-
were
unable to document it in any de
tail. The figure was, it appeared,
the result of mystical contem
plation, plus talks with Repre
sentative Hebert of Louisiana
who has not documented it ei
ther. The Congressional approach
has been the same. No detailed
explanation was offered, when
the House chopped $4,000,000,-
uuu off the defense appropria
tion. No examination of conse
quences was attempted, when
the House placed a limit on next
year's spending of funds already
appropriated and obligated,
which will again put off the Am
erican preparedness date' until
1957. The most solemn forecast
of economic convulsions and
perhaps even changes of govern
ment in Britain, France and oth
er NATO nations, were angrily
ignored when the House chop
ped $700,000,000 out of the ec
onomic aid section of the foreign
aid bill. The idea, this year, is
to wield the ax blindly, and
leave the Executive Branch to
bind up the wounds as best it
may.
, Some of what the House has
done will be undone by the Sen
ate. Yet even there, one of the
senators who has always shown
the greatest public spirit in
these questions, told these re
porters: "You ve got to remem
ber this is an election year. The
boys are bound to ' cut pretty
nara now. Then there will be de
ficiency appropriations after the
election.
I'nio easy system ol course
means changes in defense or
der scheduling, with resulting
delays in production and in
creases of human force that may
run as high as 50 per cent.
There are two things to be said
about this whole queer process.
The first Is that the Western
World will never be defended if
this goes on. You cannot build a
sound defense by hastily tripling
defense appropriations when the
Soviets are being menacing, and
tnen wielding the ax when the
Kremlin keeps quiet for a bit.
This on-again off-again rhythm
both doubles the cost and slows
down the procurement of hard
ware so much that It is never
ready when wanted.
Furthermore, Defense Secre
tary Robert A. Lovett and Dep
uty Secretary William Foster
are both brilliantly able and
stoutly conservative men, who
have no love for throwing away
me taxpayers' money. It can be
assumed, therefore, that - they
have been as economical as their
circumstances permit. Thus ax-
chopping at their funds can only
result in cancelled orders for
planes, tanks and the like, on
which our future survival may
well depend.
On the other hand, as has
often been pointed out In this
space, the unit cost of American
defense is outrageously and dan
gerously high. The real reasons
for this high unit cost lie in such
phenomena as the American In
fantry battalion, with its 50 per
cent more men and 13 per cent
less fire power than the Soviet
battalion; the Joint Chiefs of
Staff organization, with its inhi
bition for truly national think
ing; and the high pay of our mil
itary manpower, which Congress
has Just raised. If the critics of
Sec. Lovett have the political
guts and the detailed knowledge
to attack these thorny Issues and
others like them, they would be
thoroughly justified.

For Security Force Only
To the Editor: Considering our
disastrous experience with
peace, war and other global af
fairs during the last 35 years it's
time to withdraw from the Unit
ed Nations and cease our politi
cal, financial and economic ac
tivities abroad.
All this could be accomplish
ed by limiting federal taxation
and indebtedness. Our 180 mil
lion people could never raise the
standards of living of over half
the world's people as many
think. Neither can they reform
the world or make it's people ac
cept our form of government or
economy.
Just why we should undertake
this impossible task or assume
world leadership is a deep mys
tery. The world is going to un
dergo a violent political, social
and economic upheaval regard
less of our money, diplomacy, re
sources, soldiers and globalists.
It looks like the Kaiser's war
was the start of another 100
years war.
It's time to limit our participa
tion in world affairs to member
ship'in an All-Nation Security
Force provided about 50 nations
furnish a full quota of men,
money and resources to main
tain it.
Seeing that the Allied forces
defeated the Japanese, Italian
and two German aggressions
without the need of supergov
ernment, all that would be re
quired to supervise this force
would be an international com
mission. These are my conclus
ions after visiting many coun
tries of the world and talking
with their people.

Cloud Seeding Seen
To the Editor: Could there be
two groups of planes seeding
clouds in Jackson county?
The seeding that was done in
the Applegate district May 19
was at an altitude of about 3,000
feet.
There was a nice build-up of
clouds but not thunderheads and
from the rain that started to fall
I would not judge them to be
hail clouds, but fifteen minutes
after the planes started working
all moisture stopped and the
clouds began to evaporate.
There was also a second flight
at 4:45 that afternoon. This
flight was at an altitude of
around 2,500 feet. I would judge
the build-up of the clouds to
have been within an altitude of
some 3,000 feet instead of 20,000.

Council Upheld
To the Editor: The city coun
cil and Mayor of Medford de
serve kinder words than those
in a letter entitled "Not AH
Happy," printed in The Mail
Tribune last Thursday.
1 was particularly impressed
by the action of your Mayor
Flynn in visiting other places
and informing himself about the
time question. The fact that
some o fthe councilmen reversed
themselves and voted with him
indicated, not vacillation but a
willingness to work together.
.The above mentioned letter
shows that the writer must have
failed to keep informed as I be
lieve Mayor Flynn stated that
he had received a great many
communications from residents
of Medford approving his de
cision. Now the piece-de-resistance.
Quote from the lady on Spring
St. Drive: "There are a number
of us who think that if Mayor
Flynn and the city council be
lieve that their first duty is to
the people living in outlying and
rural districts instead of to the
citizens and business people
within Medford then I say let
the rural districts put them in
office on the next election day"
wen, i say it: mat s silly.
First, I believe the council
really feels that their duty is to
the whole district and not Just i
to tne citizens of Medford in such
matter.
Second, if the lady takes her
gang to the polls and votes the
present council and mayor out,
how can she be sure that a new
council will always act to please
issue would be more Important
than a change of clocks.
Of course she could go. down
then, and run that council out,
and In the course of forty or
fifty years she might get one
that would suit her.
To be a council caught be
tween two factions is no picnic,
which is shown by the remark

In the Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
We get this one 'today from
Koje Island, Korea.
"News of a third bloody riot
by Red prisoners of war came
to light this morning. South
Korean sources said four Kor
ean guards and three North Kor
ean Communist prisoners were
killed and 57 Reds wounded in
the uprising April 10.
"Ninety Communist prisoners
and one U. S. soldier were kill
ed in earlier Koje riots on
February 18 and March 13."
'PHIS ONE follows from Wash
ington: "The Senate Armed services
committee still wants to know
more 'about Red shenanigans on
Koje Island, despite demotions
of two brigadier generals and
reprimanding of a third one
star officer."
(General Dodd, who was cap
tured by the commie prisoners,
and General Colson, who bailed
him out with promises, have
been busted back to their per
manent rank of full "chicken"
colonels.)
WHAT really is going on over
there?
I don't know. But there is food
for thought in the recent state
ment that we have 170,000 pris
oners of war in Korea and its
adjacent islands.
An American infantry divis
ion numbers roughly 18,000
men. That is to say, out prison
ers of war in Korea must be
approximately equal in numbers
to about nine American divis
ions. From all we've been told,
it is doubtful if we have much
more than nine divisions in Kor
ea. JIHIS IS the point:
We must have nearly as many
prisoners in Korea as we have
soldiers. If that is true, it spells
possible trouble for, of course,
most of our soldiers are needed
to man the lines against the
Communist armies that face us.
M
ORE from Korea:
"For the first time In the war,
Communisf MIGs grabbed a five
to four edge in aerial dogfights.
The Fifth Air Force announced
the loss of three F-86 Sabre jets
and two F-84 Thunder jets in
the air against only four con
firmed MIG kills. It was a sharp
reversal from the usual top
heavy Allied score."
It looks like the Russian
trained pilots must be GETTING
BETTER.
That isn't good news.
IN WASHINGTON, General
Ridgway satd yesterday the
Communists have now reached a
point where their propagand
ists are reacting "desperately,
FURIOUSLY to the growing
strength and determination of
the free world."
TF THE Commies think our
strength and determination are
GROWING and if they are des
perate and furious about it, they
might just take a notion to hit
us with all they have BEFORE
WE GET TOO STRONG FOR
THEM TO HANDLE.
lROM Europe we're hearing
over and over the statement
from our side that if the Russ
kies hit us this year we won't
be able to hold them, but if they
wait until next year we WILL
be able to hold them.
If somebody I cordially dis
liked and expected to have to
fight sooner or later told me
something like that, I think I
might be tempted to HIT HIM
NOW, while I could get away
with it.
