We were not surprised that Senator Cordon chose a defense of Senator McCarthy and opposition to his censure as his valedictory. For it was generally known that "Guy" was one of "Joes" pals, although during his campaign our senior Senator never admitted it. But we were surprised that he should base his case for "Joe" on the constitutional right of free speech. For Senator Cordon is a smart lawyer, and must know that free-speech is a limited freedom. The laws we have against libel and slander prove that. The great Justice Holmes made the point clear when he said that the right of free speech does not include the right to shout "fire" in a crowded theatre par ticularly when there is no fire. LEGITIMATE freedom J iI J ii !11 uiu uuuaue it, win hol est by the vote of censure tered so overwhelmingly from Wisconsin. It was not his freedom volved, but the way he used dom. TIfOREOVER this was not a court case. It was exclusively a senate case. The laws of the coun try were not involved, but only the rules, regulations and traditions of the Upper House of Congress. It was not an issue for a jury to rule upon, but for the members of the Senate', themselves, for they have, by law, exclusive power to determine what the con duct and quality of their membership shall be. So again the right of free speech, as guaranteed by the constitution was not involved in this case, as it would have been in some civil action involving a private citizen, in the same field. TT was surprising that Senator Cordon should have brought up this legal phase. It was even more sur prising that our senior Senator, not only a good law yer, but an experienced and effective prosecutor, should have pulled out the tremelo stop for fear of hurting the feelings or doing an injustice to his colleague from Wisconsin, but should have no con cern apparently for the feelings of his colleagues in the senate who had been called cowards, liars, fellow travelers and traitors by the man he was defending. O TRANGE, very strange! In fact for four or five years, this department has been mystified by the course adopted by Jackson county's old friend of the O&C days, from nearby Roseburg. ' When he was appointed to take the late Senator; McNary s seat he is the last man in the world his sup porters would ever have suspected of falling for the phoney cult of McCarthy and McCarthyism., Yet, uuy not oniy ien ior it, out went completely overboard. Did those ten years in Washington do that to him, or did we really never know him? Perhaps the answer is both. R.W.R. Freedom of the Press Just as freedom of speech is a limited freedom, so is freedom, of the press. It is now being claimed in certain quarters, how ever, that unless camera-men are allowed to snap pictures in court rooms, courts are fitted up with radios and TV sets, the freedom of the press will be illegally abridged, or at least the people will be undesirably separated from our judicial processes. , How silly can we get? QJO long as newspapers are freely admitted into open courts, the press has all the freedom it needs. . Of course news pictures are desirable, and add to newspaper readability. Court scenes and reports, particularly in sensational cases, would no doubt be popular in radio and TV circles. But so long as the public can get the facts, and the papers give them accurately, that is all the press need worry about, as far as its freedom is concerned. - The rest comes under not press freedom but press privilege. TtTOREOVER there is the attitude of the bar and "- courts to be considered, the matter of attaining justice for litigants without interference or over emphasis on behalf of one party or another. Yes, and the matter of proper dignity in our courts should not be overlooked; or needless ballyhoo and hippodrome in the serious business of securing "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." . These camera-flashers in conventions and other public gatherings where notables are assembled have become a public nuisance. But to have them crawling around the chairs anc the furniture in our court rooms would be intolerable. At any rate if this is to be done on the basis of progress, let it NOT be done under the claim of press freedom. As long as the newspapers are given freedom to get the salient facts in all court actions and other de partments of our day-to-day life, without hindrance or censorship, that is quite enough, in that particular department. It seems tc this department the judiciary of the country should decide the rules and regulations of their own courts. We are , quite sure the people Should be glad to abide by their decision. R.W.R.

The Christmas Meaning To the Editor: Christmas, the time of brotherly love,, and ex change of gifts. The time when everyone should be more con scious Of the Child who was born so many years ago. People wish each other a Merrv Christmas and spend dollar after dollar ior gifts, but how often do they pause to utter a nraver? Here it is, the'first of Decem ber, and already the streets are gaily decorated, the stores have Christmas tree ornaments, and suggestions for that Christmas present for mother. Why, with better than three weeks until Christmas Day, is everything focused on "shop now, avoid the rush." "Shop now while our stock is complete." Could it be that Christ is slowly being push ed out of Christmas, and the all mighty dollar taking His place? I'm not advocating the abolish ment of exchaneine nrespnfs nn Christmas, because it is one of our strongest traditions, and our way of life is built on traditions, but in these pre-Christmas shop ping days, lets all add another item to our shopping list, right up at the top. That item: to stop at our preferred place of wor ship and thank God for His kind ness and love,, and on Christmas eve, as we sit around the tree, unwrapping all the beautiful presents, let's all thank God for the Child whose birthday we celebrate. Let's all put Christ back in Christmas! Richard L. Hart, . Secretary Junior Chamber of Commerce. Westsick To the Editor: From earW grammar school days until last August, I considered the West to be nothing more than a geo graphical area containing miles ana mues 01 ranches and moun tains intermixed with small bodies of water. Although maga zine articles , and advertisements depict the West as something breathtaking and panoramic. I was nevertheless satisfied in my own mind that the East held the key to everything especially in industry, beauty and progress. In August there came an op portunity to travel throughout the western and far western states. With an indifferent atti tude I accepted the invitation and one evening, with a friend, left New. York City destined for California. As the speedometer recorded the mileage, the midwest wrote a thrilling prologue. Here were rich farmlands, well-constructed highways, and the type of archi tecture which clearly separated the urban from the rural. "And then suddenly, almost without warning, the entire complexion changed! Now huge and majestic mountains with their snow capped peaks, scenic landscape so rich in color and ." texture that an artist would find diffi culty in extracting its true beau ty, deep gorges surrounded by massive patterns of rock, long reaching waterfalls lazily gush ing thousands of gallons of water into crater-like pits, and the calm and serene freedom found in rivers and lakes, unfolded spec tacular beauty. . The cities and towns bore a distinctive charm of .their own. It was amazing to see modernism in their design, for we Easterners still have visions of the Old West with its corrals and wooden structures. But hand -in -hand with the beauty and modern fea tures I found a genuine spirit which was firmly embedded within each individual a spirit which reflected warmth, sin cerety and hospitality. . I am once again in the East with nostalgic memories and even though my 35 . mm. slides bring me closer to your scene, I must confess that I am Westsick. A1C Donn G. Dutcher, AF 12378413; 3650th Per sonnel Processing Squadron, . Sampson Air Force Base, Geneva, N. Y. Box 78 Parking Lots vs Taxes To the Editor: I noticed in the Medford Mail Tribune of Sun day, November 28th, Page 15, where it was suggested that a group try to gain support for a municipal parking lot. I can f orsee the future need of off-street parking facilities and I understand the concern of downtown property owners and merchants in trying to protect their future. Still, I do not be lieve this burden should be sad dled on the Medford homeown ers and outside business areas. This, to me, is a form of subsidy to tne downtown property own ers and merchants. ' I believe this future emer gency can be met bv these sami property owners and merchants Matter of Fact THE PIRANHA-POLITICIAN Washington To -the frequent visitor to the Senate galleries, there is a mysterious fascination in w a t c hing the Senators in the well be low, their fig ures foreshort ened and their balding heads emphasized by the people ' of vision. It is something like the fascination some people Stewart Also? find m watch ing fish in an aquarium. As in the case of the fish, after, a cer tain amount of Senator-watch ing, each Senator acquires his own instantly recognizeable characteristics. The habitual gallery-visitor comes to look around instinct ively for the familiar landmarks the worried frown on the face of Republican Leader Knowland, the . huge yellow shoes - of the miraculously preserved Neely of West Virginia, the Grant Wood features of the white-thatched Watkins of Utah, the magenta red face of well-liked Saltonstall of Massachusetts, and so on. NO group of men could be more oddly assorted. But the gallery watcher soon realizes that they get oh amazingly weU together. This is partly because the. desire to be liked is a char acteristic of most politicians. It is partly because, like fish in a tank, they have to get on well together, if the Senatorial sys tern is to work at all. But there are now in the Sen ate a tiny handful of men who do not give a fig whether they are liked, and do not give a fig for the Senatorial system. When they rise to speak, they do not really try to persuade their fel low Senators. They hardly pre tend to. Their purpose is rather to frighten or dismay or frus trate the Senate, and to use the Senate as an instrument for gain ing political power outside the Senate. The effect "of the presence in the Senate of this different breed of Senator is oddly paralyzing, It is a little as though a few piranhas the tiny, voracious ly carniverous Brazilian fish had been dumped into a tank of amiable, elderly gold fish. I THREE times last Tuesday, the last full day of debate on the McCarthy censure resolu tion, the piranha-spirit was on display. The first came when Jenner of Indiana leapt to his feet to attack the aging Fland ers, of Vermont, with the shriek ing, arm-waving frenzy which is his specialty." Everyone knew that Jenner's act was not really meant to convince anyone pres ent that Flanders' rather rou tine propaganda broadcast to Russia was evilly motivated. Everyone knew, instead, that it was intended to feed grist to the McCarthyite' propaganda mill and above all to serve notice on other Senators of the treatment they could expect if they dared lift their voices against McCarthy and his band, While Flanders, white-faced and flustered, tried to answer, no Senator rose to his defense. This was not simply cowardice. Those present knew from ex perience that nothing is at once more dangerous and more futile than to try to reason with a piranha-politician. By no means all the pro-McCarthy Senators are piranha politicians , no man could . be more clearly a gold fish-Senator than Mundt of South Dakota, for example, and even Dirksen of Illinois, the Liberace of politics, is no political carnivore. The if they will plan now by pur chase or lease of present mar ginal business areas for parking purposes; but I believe that this is their problem and not the property owners outside their district. The tax load that real prop erty is. now carrying should be of great concern to every home owner and business man. We are fast approaching the maximum limit that real property can carry. In the past two years many continuing bond levies have been placed on real property in Jackson County, and the known need for future schools will place a burden on many taxpayers that they will not be able to meet. , The fact is that many people are now paying their taxes on a monthly basis. They do not real ize . the emergency until it creeps up on them. Then it is too late. The average Medford home owner with a $10,000 home valuation is now paying $152 in taxes. Then there is the new bond issue voted in the last general election and increased school budget for 1955. (Remem ber the new schools and deten tion home you voted. They must be staffed and maintained.) Also, it is generally agreed that a state tax will be levied by the next legislature to meet increased state operation costs. Wake up, Mr Taxpayer. Look at any bond issue, and be sure to go to the polls and vote. Re member, less than 10 of eli gible voters have been ; voting these continuing levies and -1 wonder what percentage of these are taxpayers. Ray J. Schumacher 1619 N. Riverside . Medford, Ore, ' ' By Stewart Alsep piranha spirit interrupted the habitual, droning Senatorial rhythm once again, to be sure, when Welker of Idaho, whose speaking voice drips with almost audible venom, rose to attack Fullbright of Arkanses. But the real climax came late in the afternoon, when flash bulbs in the corridors announced the ar rival of the Grand Inquisitor himself. WHEN McCarthy's oddly swol- len fieure entered the Sen ate, the chamber had been de populated by a tedious pro-McCarthy speech by Mundt. Mc Carthy had been seated only a few minutes, when he rose to the attack. Gesturing toward the Demo cratic side, he rumbled that the sparsely occupied chamber was "the most, disgraceful spectacle I have ever seen . . . " He sat down grinning. The point of the grin was not lost on those pres ent. McCarthy himself, the cen tral figure in the debate, had not bothered to enter the chamber that day. His complaint was, of course, a way of providing material for those busy picturing him as a martyr. But it was more than that. It was his way of ex pressing his contempt for the silly little gold fish-Senators who had all that day been earnestly debating what course the Senate should, adopt in regard, to him. As if to underline his contempt, McCarthy lumbered to his feet in a few minutes, and, still -grin ning, left the chamber for the day. TN ITS WAY, this smaU, unno- ticed episode suggested what the censure debate has really been all about who shaU rule the Senate tank, the gold fish or the piranhas. . In a more general sense,? the debate has also been - about whether the piranha-politicians, whose greatest weapon is what Fullbright 'called "contempt for the human personality," are to dominate American pontics. (Copyright, 1954, New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK! JENKINS The British are bothered. They are wondering why there are no FEET on the portrait of Prime Minister Churchill which was given to him on his 80tb birthday. rpHE PORTRAIT is the gift of both houses of parliament and is the work of Artist Gra ham Sutherland. It depicts an alert old man who seems to be thinking of something and about to spring out of his chair to do somethmg strenuous about it which is strictly Churchilhan. But The portrait ends vaguely at the trouser cuffs. Artist Suther land has given an explanation of the lack of feet to newsmen in London. He says they were once there, but when he got to' look ing the picture over after he had finished it he came to the con clusion that they destroyed the balance of it. So he painted the feet out. LL I'd say that Sir Winston's feet aren't particularly important. They have carried him. it is true. over a considerable part of the world. But it's Winston Churchill's HEAD that counts. A FURTHER word here about his head. Though most of World War II, Churchill dealt with the Rus sians. He dealt personally, time and again, with Stalin. But he kept his head clear and his eyes open. The Russians never fooled him. In the closing days of the great war, when the Russians were booming westward and the Germans were fleeing before them and trying to surrender to our side to save themselves from Communism, Churchill was issuing quiet instructions to his commanders in the field NOT to destroy German : arms ; because they might be needed IN THE HANDS OF GERMANS to fight back the Russians if they came too far. That was foresight. CHURCHILL was NEVER fool ed by Russia. ' He dealt with, the Kremlin when he had to. He followed the old adage: "ANY port in a storm." In World War II, Brit ain's life was at stake. And Churchill was the guardian of Britain's life. In his dealings with the Russians, he did what had to be done to keep his coun try alive. But he kept his wits about him. He read the signs in the sky - and he read them aright He visited the United States in 1946, about a year after the end of the war, and in a sensational speech he WARNED US OF A POSSIBLE WAR WITH THE SOVIET UNION. . His head was still working. CHURCHILL has, and more or less always has had, a sense of the sweep of history. He in stinct for the lessons of history told him that COMMUNIST Rus sia was the real enemy to be feared.. We would be better off if we had trusted his instinct back in I i A A .. ... . .. J. 1910.. .. ,u.. .... - - ...'I Is That So? A great orderliness exists in all animal inheritance. Like be gets like. Dogs produce dogs; horses produce horses; rabbits produce rabbits. The zoological fence of family divisions cannot be crossed. ' Despite this, my mail brings in an astonishing number of questions regarding the inter mixing of species of cats asso ciating with rabbits and produc ing long-legged . "rabkits"; of house-cats mixing with skunks and producing "skunk-cats"; or with a tame woodchuck, and producing "cat-chucks"; or "squirrel-cats. - t - Some of this is due to publi cized mistakes: for example a "coon-cat," or raccoon-cat, was displayed at the 1940 East States Exposition at West Springfield, Mass. . , Nonsense. As stated at the onset, zoological family fences cannot be hurdled. But freaks do occur. OccasionaUy a rabbit may grow horns a couple of inches long, due to a skin para site; or a cottontail rabbit may grow a skin bell one such had a 21 inch beU on its throat much like that of a moose. And there are one-eyed cats, four horned cows, and two-headed dogs. These "sports" can and do happen in the best-regulated families. Such variations, in many in stances, are responsible for the belief that a cross of two unre lated kinds of animals produced the "freak." Nature Contributes Too, nature 'herself in some ways contributes to the misun derstanding of the identity of certain species by creating what might appear to be strange com binations of such animals. For example, the ringtail cat might give the appearance of a cross between a cat -and a raccoon but it does not belong' to the cat family, despite its name, and is a cousin of our familiar raccoon. Or the zebra-wolf of Tasma nia. It appears to be a cross" be tween a dog and a zebra; Or the white-tailed gnu of South Africa which looks like an antelope, horse and cow rolled into one. - Or, the weird duck-billed pla typus which rivals anything that man has ever imagined; its ducklike bill, fur-covered body, four-webbed feet, horny poison spur on the heel, with the fe male laying and hatching one or two eggs, and then suckling her young without benefit of breasts the milk following the hair as the young lick the belly. Sure ly, to the inexperienced this might be the final product of a nightmare of crossings. Unnatural Breedings However, where unnatural cross-breedings may occur, na ture herself has set up some specific safeguards, and one of three things may happen: 1. If the species are far apart, there, are no offspring a zebra and an antelope crossing, for example,- have no issue. Or a peking duck and a chicken. ; 2. If they are closer together, offspring may result but the, off spring is sterile such as a pin tail duck with a mallard duck, a sparrow with a junco combi nations which occur quite often in nature, or a tiger with a lion, resulting in a tiglon or liger. 3. Even more closely related animals, within the same family group of course, may sometimes cross and produce fertile off spring, both rarely or regularly, some of which if they are good may tend , to replace existing species, but, mostly they are not good and die out. . May Produce Mule For example, a donkey may cross with a mare and produce a mule in which the offspring u? rare instances may be able to reproduce. At the fringe, as where mule- tail and blacktail deer, overlap, crossings do occur and these may be fruitful. Where wolf meets dog, the same may hap pen.
