MAIL TRIBUNE Fears a White-Black War As if the world did not have enough trouble, Doro thy Thompson, one of the Oregonians "infrequent correspondents," envisions an uprising fcf the colored races, black and yellow, against the whites. Tie whites of course would be hopelessly out numbered. But there could be one major consolation, the Russians, being white, would join in the fight against the colored hordes (as they did once upon a time against Herr Hitler). That would remove the present reigning "devil" in the Anglo-Saxon cosmos, to be replaced, we assume,' by some modern Genghis Khan. .;' - -v'.". . f. -"' 117ELL, mebbe so. ' ;i. ' r T . But for a number of reasons we are disposed to doubt it -" !. .. The chief reason is we don't believe ,there are any Genghis Kahns actual or potential, about We don't believe the colored people East or West, or their lead ers want to conquer ANYONE, much less the world. What they want is to be left alone to run their own affairs without dictation from; others, white, yellow or black. And that process is proceeding with amazing rapidity in Asia. , It may spring up in Africa. And to date with almost ho bloodshed. As Russia indicates, why fight when you can get what you want, without it? ' ; No. 2: World conquest as the spear and cross-bow, nation, or group of nations it out . No. 3: The colored peoples do outnumber the whites, but the next war, if there should be one, would be won not by numbers, but by industrial production, inventiveness and prowess. There will be many busy years ticked off by Old Father Time, before the colored races will get within hailing distance of the whites m this direction or have any illusions about conquering them. CO WE refuse to worry over this latest fear of our journalistic CassandraSufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. And that evil isn't and never has been a racial one but one of ideology; it isn't between white and black, red or yellow, but between .those nations who want to be free and independent and those who want to conquer the world-and deny such freedom. .... .v ' ..

When I. got here, my friend Rod Hemphill, who runs a local silk factory, said no one could . understand northeastern Thailand . without getting .. the feel of village life. It was a pity. Rod . added, there was no village party com ing up, because going to a vil lage, party was the best quick way to see what a Thai village was really like. And so I asked whether I might give a New Year's eve party at the village of the Lotus Lake, where Rod's silk factory is situated. From there, Rod's charming and intelligent Thai partner, Kun Nom,' and the extremely able,, tough village headman, Som Si quietly took over. There were a couple of preliminary crises, about the price of the cow that was to be .the main dish, and about the ' difficulty of obtaining the truly superior brand of local white mule that is made across the Mekong river in Laos. ' "' ': '' ' - But Kun Nom, and Som Si were as efficient a catering service as any in Washington. On the morning of Dec. 31, they In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ; I'U start this piece off with a sentence that has just clicked off the teletype. It reads: "The second day of the new Congress brings President Eis enhower before a joint session of the House and the Senate for fflXDNNPWUIOVEEV on the state : of the . Union." . . . T SHOULD explain here that A the teletype is a temperament-' al robot It's apt to stutter when it gets excited, or when some thing goes wrong with its in nards, or on days when static is particularly bad. . - '"But,-: I'm not at all sure that its word HIXDNNPWUIOVEEV isn't just ' about as good a word as any to describe what is going on in Washington today, r TT doesn't make much sense, to x be sure. But, after ell,' what is going on in Washington today doesn't make much sense. IJ'OR example: A Here is a serious, patriotic man, educated in the military tradition that one must do AL WAYS what is necessary for the nignest welfare of one's coun try. According to that tradi tion, one must DIE willingly, if necessary, to advance ' the wel fare of one's country. . This man wasn't at aU eager to be President. He knew the grave responsibilities" that rest ' upon the shoulders of the President of the United.States. , He was tired. He had just finished fighting a long and terrible' war in every hour of which HEAVY responsi bility had rested upon his should ers. ... - , - Among other responsibilities, he had carried the heart-break ing one of sending men to their death, if need be, to preserve their country's welfare. J But. he finally consented to take the job, if the people wanted him; F1 turned out that the people did want him, and I think everyone will agree that he has done his best. As these words are written, he is standing there in Washington before the sen ators and the representatives and the members of the supreme court and thanks to the miracle of modern communications BE FORE ALL THE PEOPLE and stiU doing his best- . " ,,- TM quite sure that in hi mind A there is no thougnt save that of doing for his country and our country whatever -is best for the welfare of our country in this serious period of our his tory. """ -. --.j - But - -. He can't do it all. This is a democracy. He isn't a despot He can't rule by de cree and by ukase. He must work with the elected represen tatives of the people. AND-' - ; Down there before him A very large number of these elected representatives of the people are thinking FIRST of what is GOOD FOR THEM, of what will be most likely to keep them in power or get them back into power.: - AU this at a time when EVERYBODY ought to be think ing, first, last and aU the time of what is best for- our country. F'S a strange spectable, isnt it? . ; - J.-,. I reckon that. aU in all HDX- DNNPWUIOVEEV is as good a 9 r word as any that can be found to describe it- - . Br reported that my $35 ' had pro vided a cow, half a buffalo, and several ducks and chickens; plus about 15 gallons of white mule for the common people with a specially invigorating and preci ous bottle of .white mups mixed with black monkey's blood for the ' honored, guests; plus, the most celebrated player of the ken, a local instrument halfway between; bagpipes and' pan pipes; plus prizes, to . persuade the young ladies to dance, which they are 'reluctant to, do without suitable inducements BOD 'and his beautiful "wife, Annong, and I set off for the fcarty in the late afternoon. The children of Lotus Lake village were driving the village buffa loes home from their , wallow; the " herons were gloriously winging their way back to the heronry by the Lotus Lake, and the lowering sun was gilding the rice straw in the fields. But this perfect atmosphere of pastoral peace was shattered, when we reached the ballroom (Rod's silk factory). Som Si had insisted on Installing the powerful Ameri can public' address system - that the village bought last year to brighten up its festivals. The noise of alternating rec ords of Bangkok songs, local bal lads and arias from Thai classi cal opera was downright, deaf ening. Besides half the village was already there. The . white mule was already going round. And the conversation was be ginning to show that added brightness that always ' marks the cocktail hour. The first item on the program was the idea of the village elders to wind the bai see strings which bring good luck on the arms of Rod, Annong and me. The ceremony involved sitting on the floor through an interminable, imitation ' Pali chant, and being wound with the strings while all those not busy string winding held hands, to strengthen the life forces. After that, the party reaUy cot going. The white mule cir culated rapidly, by an efficient loving cup system. The cow and the buffalo appeared in the form of laap, which means that they had been chopped fine with the fieriest red peppers available, extra seasoned with spices and rather summarily cooked, with laap and curry and salad and white mule in plenty. The usual second stage of every party, when the conversation almost overtops the music, was easily reached.. "- '-w : . : Then the ken player took over the microphone. With many a shy gesture, the young ladies took the floor, and the villaee bucks stepped out tar the circle dance. This Involves revolving, very remotely, around your partner, making elegant hand and J arm gestures. An American buck would find it unexciting, ; but Thai bucks think differently. . AND so we, reached the party's final Dhase. which con tinued, with louder and louder music and faster and faster cir cle dancing, until all could wish one another a happy new year. There were the "usual late party incidents the headman's son went a bit too far, as headman's sons- so. often wUl. There was also the usual group who could not resist the temptation for 'just one nightcap," so the Lotus Lake viUage was stiU ringing witn song in the dawn. But as a party it was a clear success. And what useful information did I garner from this evening, it may well be asked. Well, learned from au those present that Thai viUagers are charming gay and friendly people. From bom Si and one of two other intelligent and sober elders. learned, they hate the Chinese and Vietnamese with an intense passion, and equate communism with its great Asian converts. And just by listening to the loud speaker, I learned that this was a semi-neolithic community, ex periencing a violent Impact from Western civilization whose final outcome you could not predict And I also learned that Kun Nom was not factually accurate, when he - promised that Laos white mups mixed with black monkey's blood never gave, you a headache. , . ; . .

Dur ing the past two winters Med ford people have sent thousands of pounds of clothing to Korea. This winter when the' cold weather set in, I began to won der if Koreans still needed clothing, so I got In touch with N.A.E.,- Portland and received the following information: American Relief for Korea, a government supported agency, has been discontinued. But this does not mean Korean refugees and orphans no longer . need help. On the contrary, the severe Korean winter still may mean suffering and even death to hun dreds of thousands who are homeless and badly in need of warm clothing. . There are 200,000 war-orphaned children alone thousands of whom will die this winter unless they are provided with warm clothing. These children are not beggars; they do not want to de pend on others for their lives, but they must because they are helpless. They cannot help them selves. The following items are critically needed: Warm coats, sweaters, baby ' clothes, quilts and - blankets and childrens shoes. Adults shoes are no longer needed nor are mattresses or pillows. By next year, perhaps, Kor ea's textile industry will be able to provide the needed clothing. Now, however, it is unable to do so. It is up to us to help. Clothing from Medford may be sent to the Korean Consul General at Oakland, Calif., where it lit processed, sorted and placed in waterproof containers for shipment to ' Korea. West Coast Freight Lines carries ship ments from Medford to Oakland free of charge. . Medford's Valley Cleaners 520 S. Riverside do cleaning free of charge for Korean Re lief. This week they are remodel ing, after which the name will be Arrow Laundry - and Dry Cleaners. Clothing (second-hand or new) maybe left at 337 West 10th street If no one happens to be there to receive it. packages may be left on the porch and will be taken care of . The W.M.S. of the Free Methodist Church will pack the eoods and deliver to the Freight lines. Mrs. Hazel Nelson Route 1, Box 399-E Medford, Oregon.

But In recent -years writing the news by hand has become increasingly hard and the chirography not e!?ays as legible as he (also the M-T rural editor and the linotype opera tors) might wish.
