MAIL TRIBUNE The Dog Measure Elsewhere on this page appeal's a communication from Ken Denman of Medford, pointing out features of the doe control proposal on which Medford voters will pass judgment November 2. , The Mail Tribune's recommendation on the meas ure will be made known prior to the election." Mean while, it has been pointed out by attorneys who have looked into the matter that there is more to it than appears on the ballot. THE ballot title is: "Act Prohibiting Dogs 30 the City of Medford, Jackson County, Oregon.1 Pur pose : To prohibit dogs from Kunning at large at any time within the City of Oregon." ; :v The original state law subdivisions of the state voting to prevent dogs run nine at laree was designed to protect livestock. It was passed in 1933, as a modification of earlier laws. THE law, as it now appears in the Oregon Revised Statutes, says; '. V "Any dog which is off belonging to his owner or keeper, without a shepherd muzzle made of wire or metal and properly fastened around his nose and neck vent him from biting or sheep, goat or other domestic animal, and hot under control of his owner or running at large." v The original law, instead of saying "and under control," said "or "under during the code revision which resulted in the Oregon Revised Statutes, and was ture'.':'.'. On the one hand, the require muzzles at all times when a dog is off the premises of the owner, even when on a leash.. On the other hand, the original law would have permitted dogs to run at large provided they were muzzled, and the present law can also be interpreted this way. This lack of certainty as to how the law is to be interpreted has not been settled by court cases, and what the decision of a court would be is unknown. e . e . e THOSE advocating the law are not doing so prin inollw tn'ni-nfoft. rfnn1e "nr nnv srlffr. ennf. fir Wt.

Penalties provided under the law are fixed at a flat $10 for the first violation and $25 for each sub sequent violation. The would go to pay for the pay for damage done to , ... . e e AFTER charges have been filed, there would be a fivd day period before prosecution could be'start ed.' The law also includes a provision for impounding dogs found in violation for five days before they are destroyed or otherwise disposed of. The law would be in effect the year around, and not just during the spring Mendes-F ranee Paves Way for Stronger Western Unification By CHARLES M. McCAHN Unlied Prass Foreign Analyst Five months bko. the thought that Pierre Mendes-France might become the 20th postwar French premier gave high Western diplomats the shivers. It was known 1 that he regard ed France's position in the Indochina war as hopeless. It was accept ed, though he Charles Mclann denied it, that he was opposed to the ratifica tion of the European Defense Community treaty under which Western Germany was to be re armed. , Mendes-France was confirmed as premier on June 18. and there was speculation that the "agonizing reappraisal" of for- ign policy of which Secretary of Siute John Foster Dulles had spoken six months before might be imminent. Sweeping Reappraisal Well, there has been a swecti- ing general reappraisal of West ern policy since then. There hove been some agonizing mo ments incident to it. But the West has emerged stronger. First, It turned out that the French position In Indochina really was hopeless short of United States intervention, which would have meant an open clash wnn ine Chinese Communists. Mendes-France pledged him self to get peace In Indochina by July 20. He did it. The Allies accepted a defeat, But from the defeat has emerged the South eaft Asia Security Treaty aimed at preventing the further en ciouchment of Communism in that area, Secondly, the French Parlia ment did kill the European De fense Community pact after a weak sponsorship of it . by Mendes-France.. . But now the Allies have Monday, October IS, 19S4 from Kunning at Large in Medf ord, JacKson uounty v v;: ; j ; v which provides for political or outside of the premises sufficiently strong to pre injuring any person, or any Keeper, Bhall be considered ; ' ; - ' control."

Saar Agreement Further, as part of the new setup, Mendes-France and Chan- ellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany have signed an agree ment on the status of the Saar coal region. The Saar had been a trouble spot in French-German relations ever since the end of World War II. Now President Eisenhower has invited Mendes-France to visit Washington next month. There still are hurdles ahead for Mendes-France the French economic situation, the national ist moverments in North Africa. But the 47-year-old "bright young man" of French politics, the son of a wealthy Jewish clothing manufacturer, is rec ognized as his country's strong est leader since the war. France no longer is the "sick man of Europe" as it was called six months ago. Frenchmen call Mendes-France a "fireball" and a "dynamo." He has been brilliant since his boy hood, when he joined the middle-of-the-road Radical Socialist Party at 10, He became the youngest lawyer when he was admitted to the bar at 21. He became the youngest member of parliament ' at 25. It is no ex aggeration to call him a remark able man. Plastic Spray Duffs Glare for TV Screens Philadelphia (U.R) A spec ial plastic spray which will dull the glossy surfaces of jewelry and other items on a television show and prevent those blind ing reflections on TV screens has been developed here. The new spray, announced by Kryion, Inc., was used on two coiat-to-coasi network shows and found completely effective. The spray, especially develop ed for eliminating reflections in all photographic work as well as television, can easily be re moved from the sprayed objects COMMUNICATIONS Utters to lh Editor mutt bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use at a pen name or Initial for publication Is permissible.

Time for a Change To the Editor: In the face of the well oiled machinery now set in motion by our present congressional incumbents and Secretary McKay, to give" away our great heritage in natural resources to private monoooHes dedicated ReDubllcan a well as Democratic conservationists have reached the inevitable conclu sion that it is indeed "time for a change" in Oregon. Fortunately, in the nick of time, the Democrats have pro duced a complete slate of ex ceptionally qualified candidates. Looking over the field via the Voters' Pamphlet,- studying rec ords and platforms, listening to opposing statements on radio and T.V. It seems apparent that the Democratic candidates for all the mnjor offices have the edge this year. So if Oregon voters are ever going to demonstrate their faith in the two party system it should be this year. This state has not had a Demo cratic U. S. Senator in 40 years, She has not had a Democratic governor in 20 years. She has never had a Democratic repre sentative In Congress from this section of the state. Has Oregon profited bv this One Party rule? She has NOT. - In fact Oregon has long been called the "Little Orphan An nie," the "forgotten state, while her neighbors, California and Washington have boomed and benefitted. The reason? Oregon has lacked effective leadership in the U. S. Senate. The two neighboring states have had it. Oregon will have one of the most articulate and potent voices in the nation speaking in her . behalf if she elects Richard L. Neuberger to the U. S. Senate. For 20 years Oregon has lacked bold, aggressive, imagina tive administration in the gov ernorship. She will have it if she elects ' spunky, friendly, ex perienced Joseph K. Carson as governor. What Maine can do, Oregon can do better. Lets progress with a political change in Oregon. " James T. Fool ; 1849 Grand Ave. Medford, Ore.i The Dog Measure To the Editor: All persons liv ing in Medford who believe that dogs and their owners are en titled to a fair deal should be concerned with Measure 10 on the 1954 ballot. Only Medford voters will vote on it. - This is an act prohibiting dogs from running at large at any time within the City of Medford, Oregon. : , This measure has been placed on our ballot on the petition of 29 Medford voters. If it passes, Chapter 609 of the Oregon Re vised Statutes will control and its effect will be: 1. No dog shall run at large off its owner's or keeper's premises and not in their company unless it wears a wire or metal shep herd's muzzle. 2. Any dog found violating this act shall be Impounded, then held for redemption for 5 days and if not redeemed, shall be destroyed or given to some re sponsible person. , If You're Not Trading at the Groceteria Cn flRCECIETriE DRM.

The fines will be usud only to pay: a. The costs, of prosecu tion and; b. Damages-to domestic livestock by dogs. . It is very difficult to under stand how so drastic a dog con trol law in Medford can be justi fied. This measure goes too far and the fines are too heavy. They would benefit only the ones pros ecuting the law and the owners of domestic livestock which has been damaged by dogs. (Ques tion how much domestic live stock has been or would be dam aged by dogs Within Medford?) It is not reasonable to require that all dogs wear muzzles if at large. This proposed law . should be rejected Medford voters are urged to vote NO on Measure Number 10. Kenneth G. Denman, 104 Geneva, ; Medford, Ore. Spun Candy vs. Cordon To the Editor: Regarding Mr. Neuberger. I have read the blurbs in the Oregon Voter, ex cerpts from his speeches, and listened to frantic pleas on the radio by various people includ ing his wife, and last night to a speech he made. He and his campaign remind me of those masses of spun candy on sticks. At a distance they look impressive, but on close in spection there is absolutely no substance. How can any sensible person consider Neuberger as a replacement for Senator cordon, a man experienced and responsi ble, respected by his colleagues, and who has the interest of Ore gon at heart. Oregon has need of Cordon in the senate. Mrs. Albert Burch, Jacksonville, Ore. Big Billboards Not Issue To the Editor: It seems the Re publicans feel the election can be won by using the largest bill boards and newspaper ads. I m sorry to say the Democrats canhot afford it. For every dime we spend they spend a dollar. There is only one way we can fight and that is by using our constitutional right of free dom of the press. McKay and Eisenhower haven't given that away yet. I am proud that Oregon has such a fine newspaperman as R.W.R. His eyes are open and far-seeing. Mr. Cordon who constanUy claims to have voted for Our benefit has made one mistake. We can look up his record. On 30 key issues in 1947 to 1950, Which, involved Oregon and the welfare of the United States, Cordon voted wrong and against you, and me 25 times. Is that the man you want to represent you? Lyle R. Hamilton, Rt. 2, Box 468, Medford, Ore. As To Racial Prejudice To the Editor: John Richard, executive director of the Nation al Conference of Christians and Jews, showed me a press clip ping today of a Mail Tribune story regarding a resolution ad opted by the women's division '.''... maDHJwnDoinip WIEIEIK COMPLETE VARIETY AT BIGGER SAVINGS! calling for clean campaign tac tics. . It occurred to me you would like to know the story of the resolution. I was in Bend, Ore., visiting my brother, Bill Nlskanen when the Bulletin published an edit orial criticizing a Giles French editorial distributed by t h e Cordon office which culled at tention to Dick Neuberger's "race." I am the publicity chair man of the woman a division and at our first fall meeting, I call ed attention of the group to thia violation of simple human de cency. The minutes read as ioi lows: , (Sepi. 17) "Miss Kane brought out in discussion that there had been religious discrimination in the Cordon campaign and deplor ed this fact and hoped that the women's division would do something about it. Miss (Barbara) Hoch . moved that' Mrs. (Sig) Crohn seconded that a letter be sent to the Repub lican and Democratic State Central Committee urging that the. campaign be free of prejudice and that a statement be Sent to the press. The mo tion carried. The three co chairmen (Mrs. Ernest Peter son, Mrs. Jerome Leva -and Mrs, Daniel O'Connor, and Miss Kane will meet with Mr. Richard to compose this letter." I submitted a resolution which read as follows: . Whereas, the character of a democracy is tested anew in each selection year, when the temptation to violate the tradi tions of fair play may be arous ed by the heat of political con troversy "And, whereas the religious faith or affiliation of candidates for public office is not a prop er issue in election campaigns, "Be it resolved that we con demn any efforts to Intrude re ligious or, racial differences into the 1954 or any political cam paign and call upon all Ameri cans to observe to the utmost this basic tenet of the demo cratic faith." Though the conference Was organized to combat prejudice arising from the Al Smith cam paign, the men's division took no action because one of 'its mem bers (Lawson McCall) was run ning for office. I am not writing this because I seek publicity and I am certain Neuberger seeks no publicity re garding his origin, anti-Semitism being what it still is, I am writ ing because I feel you are na turally curious and will appre ciate this sidelight into the cam paign. Hildur Kane, 2166 NW Irving, Bill Gore Got O&C Funds To the Editor: In reply to a communication in Thursday's M. T. regarding O&C funds, we feel some explanation should be made just to keep the record straight and give credit where credit is due. We served as coun ty commissioner in the new court house in 1933. A pamphlet sent out recently by the Cordon committee shows that Mr. Cordon was serving as District Attorney for Douglas county from 1923 to 1935. I am not mad at anyone but I do resent the complete ignoring of the man more responsible for getting the O&C funds for Jack son county than anyone else.- That man was Wm. Gore, pio ..... at nnec ddiocc ni hi uAut rn utu u neer resident of Jackson county, who spent much time and money in the National Capitol In his fight for federal pay in lieu of taxes and for which ne was paid as we know money now a mere pittance. We were stingy with his pay then let's not rob him now of his just dues and well deserved honor. R. E. Nealon, Central Point, Ore. ; . : Even Ike Can't Save Cordon To the Editor; A clear indica tion of Senator Cordon's desperation- in this campaign is the ex pensive full page ad, a blown-up reproduction of a letter from President Elsenhower, run in Sunday's Mail Tribune. Similar lavish displays of the ad wm un doubtedly be paid for in other newspapers throughout the stale by such beneficiaries of "Cor don's giveaway" as the private power companies, timber barons, oil interests, etc. It is amusing to see Cordon who formally derided Democrats for "riding Roosevelt's coat tails" into public office, now. so hec tically and expensively grabbing for what he believes to be Eisen hower's coat tails. . - ; As a matter of fact, effective: coat-tail riding must consist of actual support of the popular programs In the public interest which Roosevelt inaugurated (and which, to some extent Elsen hower, has endorsed). These In clude Social Security legislation, conservation of natural , re sources, regional . development measures and collective security in foreign policy. Unfortunately for Cordon, his record has been one of ooDOsitlon of most of these measures. In. stead of conservation of ' re sources Cordon votes to give them to his campaign contribu tors. Instead of regional develop ment he favors monopoly. In place of collective security through support of the United Nations and NATO, he voted to tie Eisenhower's hands, in the conduct of foreign policy, with the Bricker Amendment. In the face of this record, even coat-tail riding will not save Cordon. Cordon's record makes it plain for the people to see, that if Eisenhower and his pro gram are to be salvaged at all, Reception Hall For easy access, without intrusion, to 'any of our facilities.
