MAIL TBIBUNE Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, May 27 "LEST WE FORGET!" Not very long ago a hearing Public Utilities Commission in tion oi an s.r passenger traffic California, to and from. We have forgotten the exact peris, dui tney were so impressive one of Medford s leading finan ciers informed the writer he did not blame that "billion-dollar railroad" for stopping the trains and substituting busses "seeing as how" they were losing so much money on this 100-mile ODeratlon. It was stated in this department service AS A WHOLE (the Shasta Daylight service to and from S.F.), was EXTREMELY profitable, that the Mcdford-Dunsmuir portion wag merely a "small feeder" to same, that It was as silly to base rail service on the profits of this single link In the chain as it would be to base interstate service on the Overland route upon the profits of that short portion of the S.P. between Indio, California, and Yuma, Arizona. In short, it was all nuts, a phoney and a hold-up! But no one paid much attention to this protest least of all the S.P. and the PUC of California. But what do we see now, boys and girls? The S. P. has so much surplus cash-money on hand, there Is to be a fat two for one stock-split, the regular dividend is to be raised, and the stock that was quoted at 8, not so very long ago, has now passed $75 and is approaching $100. That is nice news for the stockholders, of course! But how about the poor devils, who when they travel to Cali fornia, have to take a bus, that loosens their bridge work if they have any dislocates their recently adjusted spine, and around the curves Induces a mal-de-mer that spoils their appetite for dinner? Well, It's a sad story, mates, but they the poor passengers Just don't count! We have never met the new President of the S.P. but have a certain pride In the fact he is an ex-Jncksonville boy. He rose from brakeman, or newsboy, or was it fireman? on the J-Villc "Cannon ball," to be President of the Southern Pacific. That places him above the class of Abraham Lincoln, who only rose from a log cabin In the foothills of Kaintucky to the White House! We have met his Vice-President, Claude Peterson, and we wager they would both agree one of the great dangers to the future of this country is INFLATION!! Gladly we OK that. BUT Might we Inquire what COULD than for one of the largest corporations In the country, instead of reducing passenger and freight rates when profits soar to un precedented heights, asking for a raise in those profits from the ICC getting the raise! and as the money pours in and in -discontinuing a needed public service to Southern Oregon to slight ly Increase that golden stream, so dividends may be boosted higher und higher, and the stock structure, ditto! We would like to have Messcrs Russel and Peterson answer that one, but doubt if they ever We don't like that Koje prison situation a little bit. Not so much because It indicates a woeful lack of power and discipline on the part of the U.S. army prison system which it does but because It indicates a spirit of fanatical devotion to communism, on the part of a vast majority of the prisoners. When men of any race, color or breed, are willing to fight with their bare- hands against control by any armed authority, there is a spirit that Is inspiring in a good cause, Averlll Harriman, candidate for President, arrived in S. F. last night and will start his campaign today with a speech before the Commonwealth Club. He is supposed to be President Tru man's candidate and an effort will be made to beat Kefauver In the primary. About as much chance, wo would say, as the Taft delegates have of beating Governor Warren's delegation, to the Chicago convention. The anti-Warren Republicans have headquarters across the street and many pictures of their leader, Congressman Werdel pasted up, which won't win many, votes on looks about as pre posgegsing ag the Rogues Gallery exhibit down at the 7th street postofflce. Last night movie-veteran Adolphe Menjou opened the radio campaign here with a blast a t Warren, playing the same squeeky record used in the gubernatorial contest led by Jimmy Roosevelt two years ago. Perhaps Werdel will do better than Jimmy, but we doubt It he could hardly do worse. Because Governor Warren believes In social progress, he is called a socialist; because he fa vors federal aid in the matter of health, he Is for socialized medi cine; because he supports General Eisenhower, he Is a militarist, etc etc, ad nauseam. Menjou has a good voice and forceful de livery, so will probably have a Job throughout the campaign which Is something but we don't believe he will ever be named GOP ambassador to France, as he hopes! Took in a doubleheader across San Diego which the Padres won hands down, much to Mel Ott's disgust. We can't qualify as a baseball FANatic, but a few years ago we did predict a giant first baseman on the San Diego team, by the name of Luke Easter would not slay In San Diego long, but would soon be in the "Big Time." He was, the next year, and now is a star on the league leading Cleveland Indians. Now we predict a giant catcher name of Lonnie Summers will soon follow Easter's example. Sum mers knocked a homer over the left field fence with the same ease and smooth-swing exhibited by Easier, only the latter pre ferred right field. Both men are when It comes to baseball STARS, or close to it. For example, look Incldently, Eisenhower is not mary, but there are plenty of Eisenhower buttons about. A vote for Warren will be a vote for Eisenhower in reality, for while the Governor has refused to come out publicly for the General, it is known, his delegation when released (unlnstructcd), will at once move over into the Elsenhower camp. Feels like old times once more the morning and evening fogs have come back! R.W.R. Food Price Indexes Differ On Fluctuation of Costs By UNITED PRESS A market reporting firm said wholesale food prices have drop ped for the first time In a month but another Index said overall consumer prices were nearing the all-time high of January, 1952. The Dun and Bradstreet wholesale price index dropped three cents this week to $8.45 from $8.48 last week. It stood at $7.16 last year. Houtwlrs Warned However, the National Indus trial Conference board's index rose one per cent to move within 0.2 per cent of the January rec ord. Housewives were warned, meanwhile, that higher prices on frozen foods and many can ned goods will go Into effect next week upon authorization by the Office of Price Adminis tration. Four food distribution groups said the Increases will have lit tle effect on the total cost of a family's weekly market basket. They said OPS was using "scarce tactics."

OPS officials also began In vestigating reports of a black market In potatoes In northern lllinios. Activities in 34 coun ties were under scrutiny. Man Asks Voters To Follow God's Knowledge Des Moines, la. (U.R) Her schel Loveless, candidate for the Democratic nomination for gov ernor, cut his speech to the state convention Wednesday to only one sentence. "When you enter the voting booth next Monday, the only ones there will be you and Cod." he said, "and God knows I need your vote."

Matter of Fact THE DESPERATE ACT Mineral Wells, Texas An im portant Republican gathering in Texas used to seem about as f f"yg likely an event I f ft by the ancient 1U1G9 ui muct- po li as a synod atheists in St. Peter's Ca thedral. Y e t the Republican State Conven tion held here In this rather Joseph Alsop bleak, little re- - sort town in Texas hill country can quite easily turn out to be a major turning point In the party's history . There has been more here than a bitter and crucial con test between the supporters of Sen. Robert Taft and General of the Army Dwight D. Eisen hower. Behind the usual facade of wilted delegates, usually ban ners of party managers exud ing false self-confidence, people here have been arguing bitterly about what sort of party the Republican party ought to be. The simplest way to describe the concept of the Taft faction is to say they appear to believe that Republicanism is almost like the British peerage, a rare, hereditary privilege. The best symbol of this viewpoint is National Committeeman Henry Zweifel, who has driven the Taft steamroller here. Zweifel is a graying, aging Fort Worth lawyer-business-man who was a United States Attor ney in the happy Republican years of the '20s. He took the lead In the campaign of naked religious prejudice that won this state for Herbert Hoover on the only occasion when Texas has gone Republican. He in herited the state leadership from the late Col. R. B. Creager. whose name carries the tradition back to another big Taft conven tion, 1912, when the word "steamroller" was added to the American political vocabulary, see fPHE Zweifel political approach is disclosed by his public dec laration that he would rather "lose with Sen. Taft" than sin fully compromise with Republi can principles by nominating General Eisenhower. Like Crea ger before him, Zweifel has run the Texas Republican Party like a small private club. Like Creager, to be sure, he has also issued pious statements, before each national election, that now was the time for a two party system to develop in Tex as. But in fact, the emergence of a two-party system in Texas Is the last thing Zweifel wants. His sole distinction, the only thing that sets him apart from Texans, is his post as National Committeeman. And If the Tex as Republican Party here were anything but a small private club, the competition would be too stiff gor Henry Zweifel. Senator Taft long ago sewed up Zweifel and the other South ern leaders like him, whose sup port In fact was classed as a prime asset In the original Taft plan for victory. It cannot be imagined, then, with what hor ror Zweifel and most of the oth er Republican club members heard the sudden knocking of uncontrollable masses of Texas voters on the club doors. This was t h e Eisenhower surge In Texas. Certain Repub licans. I ke the former candi date for Governor, Alvin Lane participated in the movement. The great mass of the Eisenhow er rooters was composed, how ever, of former Democrats, or independents, or of younger men and women who had never troubled to vote. They had two things in common. They wished to get rid of the Democratic Na tional Administration. And they saw in CciuthI Eisenhower a Republican candidate they S S ; ..V.. d Li Jl Ion fVJ tic,, kV J5 of 3i "Wf 3 By Roland Coa by Joseph Alsop could vote for with enthusiasm, a man offering them final escape from the one party prison in this state. AS THE law here requires, these Eisenhower enthusiasts paid their poll taxes; they signed the necessary pledge of Repub lican allegiance; and they flock ed into the Republican precinct meetings. In the majority of counties, they overwhelmed the Zweifel organization by sheer weight of numbers. In big Dal las county, for example, attend ance at Republican precinct meetings actually ran higher than attendance at the Demo cratic gatherings; and the Eisen hower enthusiasts polled close to 80 per cent of the Dallas county Republican votes. The riposte of the Zweifel or ganization has been, very simp ly, to Ignore the majority against It. The State Executive Com mittee has seated pro-Taft dele gations. Those delegations chos- National Convention will hard ly represent-more than a third of the people . who have sig nified their wish to vote Re publican by signing up and go ing to the precinct meetings, The pro-Eisenhower contesting delegation will represent the other two-thirds. The Zweifel tactics have been countenanced and and approved by Senator Taft's personal rep resentatives on the spot, David Sinton Ingalls and Brazilla Car roll Reece. They too have said that the pro-Eisenhower people wer "not read Republicans" and could thus be ignored. But it is pretty hard to see how the Republican Party is ever to amount to amount to anything In Texas, or carry the country in a national election, for that mat ter, if this kind of excluslveness is to be practiced. And it is pretty hard not to feel that this sort of defiance of majority will is anything but a genuinely desperate political act. (Copyright, 1952, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) Congress Informed Most Potent Bomb To Be Ready Soon Washington (U.R) Air Force magazine said Wednesday con gress has been told there "soon" will be a single bomb with ex plosive power exceeding that of all the bombs dropped in World war II. Only one weapon could fit that description the H-bomb. The U. S. air force alone drop ped more than 2.500,000 tons of bombs in World war II. Reported by Authority The magazine, published by the Air Force association, a vet erans organization, said the re port was given to a congression al commttce by "an eminent au thority," but was censored from published records of the com mittee's closed- door hearings. This quotation was attributed to the authority: "Soon a few men In one airplane, flying at sonic speeds and never seeing the ground, will be able to drop anywhere on the face of the earth a single bomb containing j an explosive power tar greater than the total dropped during World war II." Superior to A-Bombs Such a bomb would be equal or superior In destructive power of 100 atomic bombs, the maga zine said. The magazine said "It's a good guess" that the United States is "not too far away" from its H bomb goal. But it said there is Increasing evidence that Russia "is as near or nearer."

IN KOREA, we've been mark ing time for the better part of a year, trying to get a truce. The net result of it, General Ridgeway told us a few days ago, is that the communists we're fighting there have GREATLY INCREASED their military strength. We can't hope now to drive them out of Korea. The best we can expect is to hold our lines if they attack us. pENERAL RIDGWAY arrives " in Paris to take command of NATO military forces which haven't been created yet. The purpose of these forces is to de fend Western Europe against Russian aggression. He signifies, as General Eisenhower has, the protective might of America, which is accepting the role of leader in the battle to save Western civilization. j When he lands at -Orly air port, the field is black with French police assembled there to snuff out any communist demonstration. Twenty thous and more police are massed along the route from Orly to Paris to prevent communist deviltry. That gives an idea of the prob lems we face over there. rpHE tragedy of it is, as you - must have gathered from your reading, that instead of welcoming us as deliverers the Europeans are AFRAID OF US. They fear we're going to start a war with Russia. They don't want war with Russia or any body else. They are sick of war. TN WASHINGTON, the house A of representatives cuts foreign aid spending and draws a blast from President Truman who says: "This was a foolish, reckless act. It jeopardizes our defense build-up. It may require us In this hour of peril to demobilize a substantial part of our armed forces." He than adds: "There are some people who would rather play politics than to give us strong defenses. They would rather embarrass the White House than to checkmate the Kremlin." TpHOSE are strong words from a president whose adminis tration refuses to cut political spending in order to increase the amount available for defense spending. One's impulse is to rush to the defense of congress. BUT It is hard to forget that the house of representatives voted a week or so ago to give itself a raise in pay in the form of a stiff exemption from taxes. If we charge the president with reckless spending, we have to remember that before the president can spend It congress must APPROPRIATE It. rpHAT raises this question: Who is playing politics? About the only answer that seems reasonable to us is that EVERYBODY IN WASHING TON is playing politics. That answer shakes our faith in our country and leaves us feeling scared and helpless. w HAT shall we do about it? I think I can answer that ques tion best by relating here a little tale that has just come over the wires from Durham, N.H. At the University of New Hampshire, located In Durham, the male students had just start ed another of these fool lingerie raids on girls' dormitories. Rob ert N. Merchant, retiring presi dent of the student government at the university, acted prompt ly and decisively. Climbing up on an automo bile, he gave the milling throng of male raiders a tongue-lashing of sorts. "GROW UP AND STOP WASTING YOUR TIME," he told them. The crowd of panty-snatching students DISPERSED! -THAT was LEADERSHIP. Sound, practical leadership. It brought those who heard him to their senses. Sound, practical, courageous leadership can bring US to our senses and can stop the foolish ness that is sapping our national strength in the face of the grav est emergency we have ever faced.

It cannot be expected that the United Nations .will stand indefi nitely the Communists' cam paign of villification and abuse at Panmunjom, or permit them continued use of the truce table as a sounding board to exploit further the unfortunate events at Koje Island prison camp. The real tragedy of the Koje Island incident is just becoming apparent. It threw the United Nations truce negotiating team on the de fensive just when it seemed suc cess migh be in Its grasp. It gave the Communists a rich new propaganda source against the Allies, and it brings to the fore again the fact that in Korea political rather than military considerations often are the de ciding factors. Political Question Thus, while the question of guarding Communist war prison ers is a military one, the matter of their voluntary or involun tary return to North Korean or Chinese hands is a political one, decided by the member nations of the U. N. force involved. So, too, while Gen. James A. Van Fleet commands Allied forces in Korea, it is not always his to decide how his troops will be utilized. For example, Can ada s request that its Korean forces remain together as a unit, instead of a portion being used as Koje guards. From the U. N. standpoint, any early move in Korea also must be political. Possibility Discussed One possibility, already being discussed, is to put the whole question before a general U.

Garden Show A Treat To the Editor: To those for tunate enough to view the gar den show, held last week in Jacksonville, it was an eyeopen er. Primarily It was an iris show so one side of the long hall was given over to prize blooms so artistically arranged that the all over effect was breath tak ing. In addition there were scores of flower arrangements from huge baskets to corsages. Wild flowers were also featured. A doll collection was outstand ing, treasures from pioneer days in the original costumes, min iature furniture, a display of dolls made from dried pears, bea utifully dressed. As one onlooker said, "If only the schools could bring the chil dren to see this, what a lesson in pioneer history." Among other displays was one labeled Animal Fair. Scores of pottery figures, many containing growing plants, and arranged in a charming manner. As organi zations go, this club, which is made up of Jacksonville and Applegate women, is small in numbers but certainly high In quality. The team work was ev ident and it was all under the skillful leadership of Mrs. Rob ert Nichol. This is an annual affair and I suggest that next year it is a "must" on the list of flower lovers of the valley. Marguerita Burch, Jacksonville. Rifle Practice Periled To the Editor: On April 9, 1952, the House of Representa tives passed H.R. 7391, the De partment of Defense Appropria tion Bill for the fiscal year 1952 (July 1, '52 to June 30, '53), and sent it to the Senate. As the bill now stands it contains no funds whatsoever for the maintenance of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. If the action of the House is sustained in the Senate, the Na tional Board and the office of the Director of Civilian Marks manship will cease to exist as of June 30, 1952. In other words, Congress, by the mere failure to appropriate any money at all for it, can destroy the only agency of the government that is directly charged with the re sponsibility of training those cit izens who may, be called upon to serve in time of war in the use Chapel Mortuary Across from the Courthouse Frank Morgan - Harold Snodgrass FUNERAL DIRECTORS Phone Another, but very unlikely one, would be a decision by all the nations involved to resume all-out warfare. It would be a decision which very easily could lead to World War III. When Gen. Matthew B. Ridg- way denied that he told a Senate committee he had a plan for winning the Korean war, he did not mean there was no such plan. He simply was underlining a be lief that far-reaching political decisions must come first. There Is a Plan But there is a plan. That's what our chiefs of staff and mili tary planners are for, whether it s a war in Korea or anywhere else in the world. Some of the conditions to win ning have been widely discussed. First, we would need a force approximately twice the size we have there now, with an accom panying doubling or tripling of our fire power. Second, we would have to make up our minds to wiping out the enemy's Manchurian bases. Conceivably such a move would include use of some kind of atomic weapon. China Strangulation Necessary Third, the necessity for stran gulation of China, presumably by naval blockade which might also Include Russia's Port Arthur. Fourth, a willingness to ac cept enormous casualties when our troops hit Communist de fenses, which have been strong ly reinforced in depth and fire power in the last year. It is unlikely we would be willing to accept either the risk or responsibility for such a de velopment. It appears we will continue to work for peace by peaceful means and that if a world war is to start, the Reds will have to start it. of the basic arm of the soldier. The failure of Congress to pro vide any funds will mean the dis continuance of the issues of rifles, ammunition, targets, and other accessories for marksman ship practice to the 3200 junior and senior civilian rifle clubs and the 34 secondary schools now enrolled in the program and the return of all ordnance equip ment issued by the government to clubs on loan, and secured by bonds executed by the clubs. It will close more than 800 thirty-caliber rifle ranges which are now equipped with this ma terial and thus further discour age the promotion of rifle prac tice at a time when it should be a recognized asset in national defense. It is estimated that it will cost the Department of the Army at least $500,000 to recover this equipment, almost four times the amount of funds recommend'' ed by the Bureau of the Budget for appropriation. The loss of this protection that the civilian shooters give us at a time when preparedness and defense is the keynote of the ad ministration and there is pres ent the threat of a possible in vasion, seems to me to be stupid and absurd. We can ill afford to lose this protection which costs us so little. The minimum appropriation should be not less than $180,000 for the fiscal year and more could be used and well spent. Each citizen who can do so should write a letter of protest immediately to Oregon Senators Wayne Morse and Guy Cordon. E. G. Henselman, 1946 Stewart Ave., Medford, Oregon.
