MAIL TRIBUNE Casey Park Change Protested AoHnn nf the starts Viio-hwnv rnrnrnissifin'a nnrVs division in opening Casey State Park to overnight camping is drawing vigorous protest from organiza tions and individuals in the upper Rogue vicinity. "OREGON has over 180 state parks, in all parts of the state, in which are provided parking space, picnic tables, cooking facilities and rest rooms for picnickers and the passing motorists. This year, the highway commission decided to open the parks to even greater use by permitting overnight camping in 32 of them, including the beautiful and much visited Casey State Park which is located just a few miles above Trail on the Crater Lake highway, 30 miles from Medford. Under the commission's plan camping will be limited to one week and a charge of 75 cents per night is to be assessed. e e e e e THE Upper Rogue River faoi'lanfa ViiietnAaaman interested in the area, has McKay, the state highway mission's parks division, setting forth the opposition to the overnight camping project, the letter stating in part: "Casey State Park has for many years been the chief picnic area for this section of southern Oregon and north ern California. It is particularly and uniquely well suited for picnic purposes and is always heavily patronized. "Investigation shows that areas for trailers and campers have, or are being developed by private interests and suit able places exist further up the Rogue river which could be developed by the state. "Without exception, people of this section are 'up In arms' In rdgard to this proposed action by the state depart ment and they definitely' do not wish to lose their best picnic place. "We urgently request that your department reconsider the proposal in question." According to Carroll D. Watson of Shady Cove, who is secretary of the Upper Rogue River associa tion, the Shady Cove Rotary club and Grange chapters in that section are also entering official protests against the state's plan. A resident of the Trail out to The Mail Tribune that Casey Park, being rela tively small and lying between the River and the high way, would not be able to accommodate campers ana trailer houses and still leave room for "the amazingly large number of people who bring their families and friends to enjoy a day's outing there." e e e e TF CASEY Park were located in a more isolated spot, where privately operated campgrounds, motels and other improved accommodations were lacking, the state s action would be more understandable. Ihe fact is, however, the Rogue's bank is dotted with such place? or many miles between Eagle Point and Pros pect, and rates are reasonable enough to permit their enjoyment by even the most conservatively budgeted travelers and vacationers. Inasmuch as it does not mediate and pressing need and trailer house facilities, it might be advisable for the state to continue to restrict the present Casey Park boundaries to picnicking only, as it has in the past, until a thorough investigation can be made. If - such an investigation proved that privately maintained camping accommodations are inadequate and that more should be installed, it would be time enough then for the state to enter the picture. Pos sibly, additional land could present park for development as camping grounds, leaving the picnic area unchanged. e e e e e PASEY Park and Tou Velle Park, the latter several rrtiloa rlnwn tVto vivrsv lar spots on the Rogue, holiday throughout the summer by picnicking families and other groups. They are are thoroughly appreciated visit them. For the state to detract from their attractiveness would, we believe, be a serious mistake. E.C.F. Thoughts for Memorial Day I stood in the midst of lay on a gently sloping hill. Far to the left and far to right and up to the crest of the hill and beyond were row on row of white ing like a guard of honor it bore. You can read about one, or a score or a hundred or that and it's just another stand in the presence of many crosses and not be war. XH0 were these young TT come from? What were their hopes, their am bitions, their goals in life? Where did each one meet his tratric fate and why, WHY did he have to die Questions, but no answers. An emptiness inside ard nothing to ease it. Then a prayer for peace, a real peace, a lasting peace, springs to the lips. But no words are spoken. Peace can be prayed for but this alone is not enough. It must be worked for. And as never before the individual responsibility for peace, surges within. The promise to live better, to strive harder for a better world, fills the heart These men must not have died in vain. And they will not, if in "fomise be kept. The California Commentator.

Among the Married An expert on the intricate subject of life among the mar ried says that many wives make no effort to create a peaceful after-dinner atmosphere for a hard-working husband. He says the wives are not cheerful en ough. They do not try to make their loving husbands comfort able. He expresses himself as strongly opposed to husbands drying dishes. He suggests the husband be made comfortable and that the wife then go to wash the dishes and while so do ing she should sing. This will, he says, show her husband she is happy and loves housework. Keep this In mind, lady. After dinner have your husband seat ed comfortably and then serve him coffee. After that you go do the dishes and during that task sing "I'm Forever Blowing Bub bles." Or some similarly appro priate tune. Horses k Women The arguments provoked by the claim that gentlemen prefer blondes are endless. Now comes statistician who states most men definitely prefer brunettes. That of 46,000,000 men queried 43 per cent preferred brunettes, 23 per cent blondes and 12 per cent redheads. The rest couldn t make up their minds. I strongly question the accuracy of this re port and our Horses & Women experts Join me in so doing. It may rje mat Drunettes are pre ferred to blondes, but to say both are preferred over red heads is ridiculous. Everything indicates that Insofar as male preference is concerned the red heads top the list. Only 7 per cent of women are red haired.

It is said of that charming actress, Jeannie Crain, that she knows exactly what she wants, And what she wants she rarely fails to get.

She is the second most prolific mama among film stars. The leader is Maureen O Sulli van, mother of eight children. What Other By Charles A. Sprague, Editor Oregon (Salem) Statesman The best victory for good gov ernment recorded in the Oregon elections last week was in the nomination of Walter Nunley, young Medford lawyer for Dis trict Attorney of Jackson county, over the incumbent Paul W. Haviland. I should add that it was a victory for Bob Ruhl, edi tor of The Mail Tribune, who did a most effective job In edi torial support of Nunley. The issue was the non-enforcement of gambling laws, which was alleged by Nunley. After Nunley took his stand, promising strict law enforcement Ruhl wrote his initial editorial on the theme that this is "a government of laws and not of men." Noting that this venerable doctrine was frequently mouthed with par ticular reference to national af fairs he invited attention to Its local application, and called "all good men to come to the aid" not of party but of principle and support Nunley. Did "all good people" come to his aid? They did not. Instead many df the "best people" went after Ruhl for endorsing Nunley and opposing the incumbent. The latter issued a statement to the effect that whenever complaint was brought to his office of law violations he would proceed to enforce the law. It was a matter of common knowledge, however, that private clubs had plenty of iron bandits operating, using their share of the take from these Illicit devices to pay for club operations. Nunley publi cized the facts; but still many of the best people defended the old custom of robbing the suck ers via these bandit machines. The crushing blow came on the eve of the election when Edi tor Ruhl poured out the evidence that he had collected to prove that the laws were not being en forced, that it was the duty of the district attorney to ferret out crime and not wait for persons to come and file complaints. He quoted, without naming them high state officials both as to local conditions and local re sponsibilities. The result? Nunley 6,969; Hav iland 4,789. In his comment after the elec tion Ruhl paid his tribute "not to the Big Shots, not to the Up per Brackcteers, not to the Board of Directors but to the small very small stockhold 'SUN LAZE" at Mill Mar Lodge lltei Sweefiand Election Committee Reports $1826 Expenditure Salem (U.R) The committee campaigning for reelection of Monroe Sweetland, Portland, as national Democratic committee man from Oregon spent $1826.98, the listing in the State Election Bureau showed Friday.

I would add congratulations to Bob Ruhl. The country has been shocked with revelations of corruption in the federal government and crime in the big cities. The watchword now is to clean out the rascals. Before turning the hose on Washington, citizens first should make sure the home stables are In decent shape. A great deal of progress has been made in recent years in driving out the slot machines and pin balls. The job can be done any where if the officials are honest and alert, and if the people give them the right support at elec tion time and In between elec tions.

Fortunately, up to now, neith er the Fascists in Italy nor the Nazis in Germany have a real leader.

Hoey, D-N.C., said the committee found instances of "tax evasion" in some of the Casey tanker deals, "violations of the civil provis ions" of shipping laws, and "ac tivities which violated the spirit, and in many instances, the actu al letter of the law." The committee recommended "prompt and vigorous" action by the Justice Department on law violations and by the Internal Revenue Bureau to recover tax evasions by some of the corpora tions involved in operations of the ships.

But he is no spellbinder, no dy namic leader, and his aping of Mussolini's gestures, tones and oratory is but poor mimicry. There are reasons for the Fascist comeback. Italy hasn's been able to do much about unemployment and which remains about 2,000,000. The "poor South," traditional ly Monarchist and rightist in views, finds kinship in the MSI which shrewdly praises the de funct monarchy. Many indus trialists who grew fat under Mussolini's rule, see in the MSI an instrument in the fight against the Communists who, in turn, control Italy's strongest labor organizations. Attention Turned Young people discouraged by the lack of jobs, an insecure fu ture and what 'seems to them a loss of Italy's international prestige, turn personal bitter ness and nationalistic fervor in to glorification of a Fascism they never knew. The MSI platform a la Mus solini, is: Arming against invasion from either East or West, rejecting all treaties not based on "equal ity" the Atlantic Pact, it says, was forced on Italy and there fore is bad-return of Trieste, re turn of the "corporative" state of Fascism which outlawed strikes and socialized industry, and a form of national Socialism as opposed to Marxist Socialism. The forecast for Italy is not good. The MSI only needs to take about 70 seats in the Ital ian Chamber of .Deputies to give Italy the same sort of unstable government from which France has been suffering. time laws.

Eight surplus government tankers were obtained by the Casey group at fixed legal prices totaling $12,262,000 in 1947 and 1948. But the committee said Casey and his associates made a gross profit of $3,250,000 in less than three years on actual cash investments of only $101,000. They financed the rest through loans and pre-arranged charters. GREYHOUND More Travel Extras No fxfro Cost I - Yes, bigger value! More service to mora' places Finest buses. Best drivers.
