MAIL TRIBUNE Independent Chain The Newhouse chain which has owned the Ore gonian for 5 years now has added the St. Louis Globe Democrat, very similar to the Oregonian in age poli tics and respectability. In welcoming this addition to the large group of metropolitan dailies, the Oregonian expresses grati fication, and calls attention to the fact that while the Globe-Democrat was offered a higher price, its editor and publisher chose Newhouse, because of the pro mise that the present staff would be retained intact, and that complete independence would be allowed regarding local AND national policies. This complete independence, adds the Portland paper, is not only Newhouse theory but Newhouse practice, as the 5-year record of the Oregonian shows. don't doubt the truth of the statement to date. But we don't welcome the sensational growth of chain-newspapers in this country, or believe it a healthful sign or a desirable condition, either for the country or for journalism. Unless the tide toward more and more combination is checked, the time is not far distant when the metropolitan press which means the major journalistic influence in the country will be on one strictly conservative, big - business -line, and democratic liberalism and independence will be confined to a scattered minority, mostly no doubt in the small-town and rural areas. That comes near in fact to being the condition today. AS for the "independence" of the newspaper chains. TVtn XT a ic new iiuuoc iiai.ii the other chains, led by orders from one central source, and they could be list ed as conforming on this basis right down the line 100. This is particularly true when it comes to what the Oregonian terms "national policies," which include of course, party politics. If a chain newspaper has big boss' dictum in this independence lasted very all go one way, and it is advance what that "way" THAT sort of regularity democracy and its press nate, and wre don't mean for one party as against an other necessarily but for the country, its enlighten ment, freedom and advancement as a whole. AS stated the Newhouse chain may be the excep- UlJll IU 1 LUC But just as a friendly the Oregonian come out for for President at the next tnat sort of independence Or if that is too strong ing the Democratic candidate for Governor? Would it still be claimed by the Oregonian there after that complete independence of the chain-owner and his views regarding "local and national policies," had been and always would Perhaps so. It would be interesting, however, to find out. R.W.R. A Tough Assignment We don't envy the historian his job when the his ory of the World War II and its period must be writ en. Imagine the research that will have to be done Premier Churchill's contributions alone would take months of careful study. dent Truman's "memoirs." And how about General MacArthur's papers and claims. And in the latter field would come the many personal diaries, including the one of Secretary of Defense Forrestal. And there would be on agreement. The historian tween conflicting judgments, or else leave many of the facts of the period undetermined, which would, we presume, be poison to any conscientious historian. TAKE the historic verdict concerning General Mac- Arthur as just one of innumerable examples. General MacArthur undoubtedly one of the great military geniuses of the United States, says one thing, Secretary Forrestal another, and General Brad ley a third. In each case competent witnesses could undoubtedly be called to support THAT side. But if one is right, the others can't be and vice versa. The historian will, we fear, face something like the predicament of the chameleon on the Scotch plaid skirt. "IXELL probably that has always been more or less the way with historians of a war and its after math. They have been slanted one way or the other by the nationalities and personal prejudices of the writers. Historians, should of course be entirely judicial non-partisan and objective. But we fear they are not only human like the rest of us, but are human be ings FIRST and historians only thereafter. So the net result will probably be many historians, agreeing on most of the vital facts no doubt, but not agreeing on all the details, and disagreeing bitterly on some of the most controversial items. As to General MacArthur, our belief is he was a great military strategist but like many other geniuses he had his faults, and made his mistakes, the greatest in both directions being he never admitted either!

Then there will be Presi so many vital matters no would have to choose be Matter of Fact GEORGE AND YALTA Washington It is clear by now that the way the Yalta paners were released amounts to PPSTri the biggest bit fM$?f of Plain boob- ery committed in Washington for a very long time. Consider the results. This country's best friend abroad, S i r Winston Churchill, has been angered. O D i n i n n Stewart Alsop throughout the world, especial ly in Britain, France, and Ger many, has been alienated at a most critical moment. The So viets have been presented with fine grist for their propaganda mill. It might still be argued that this trouble abroad is not too high a price to pay for a useful object lesson from the past. But the reaction at home is really more significant than the re action abroad. Almost to a man the Democrats in the Senate deeply resent, not so much the iact that the papers were re leased, as the way they were re leased. And if we are to have any foreign policy at all, after all, the State Department has got to work with the Demo cratic majority. Among those who feel most strongly in the matter is Sen. Walter George, of Georeia. chairman of the Foreign Rela tions Committee. George is the dominant figure in the present congress, and the kingpin of the bipartisan foreign policy. There is no doubt about the way George feels. His own public comments have been relatively mild. But he was consulted in detail by benate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson before Johnson made his brief but anerv sneerh last Tuesday, attacking the way the documents were released. John son was undoubtedly speaking George's mind, as well as that of most Democrats, North and South. TT IS also significant that A George made his proposal for a meeting of the heads of state without consulting Secretary of btate John Foster Dulles in ad vance. George's proposal springs from genuine conviction. But it is also his way of serving no- tice that he is quite capable of taking a completely independ ent line on matters of high pol icy. The Democrats who have been clamoring for an "inde pendent, Democratic foreign policy" are thus now much more likely to get what they want, to the discomfiture of Secretary Dulles and the Admin istration. This is not to say that George or the other responsible Demo cratic leaders are going to act like spoiled children where for eign policy is concerned. But the close, intimate, and mutually confident relationship which a bipartisan foreign policy de mands has been badly eroded. And it is not hard to see why. Within the last few weeks, George has saved the Adminis trations bacon, on the only two really important issues to come before this session of Congress. One was the $20 tax cut George's opposition to the com promise Senate bill killed the issue. The other was the For mosa resolution, which George saved by a single, moving speech, when the Administration was heading into really bad trouble on the issue. Consider the way George was rewarded for all this bacon-saving. He was not consulted before the Yalta documents, ostensibly classified, were sent to his com mittee. George has been around Washington for a long time, and he was quite aware that this was a cute way of making public the juicier portions of the docu ments. He therefore curtly re fused to receive them. After this setback, the State Department passed the documents under the counter to one newspaper, and this was then used as an excuse for a general release. If this was not a sleazy, sleight-of-hand performance, it certainly managed to look like one. Meanwhile, a third import ant issue is about to come before the Senate the Administra tion's reciprocal trade program. Opposition to this, program is ferocious, and the Administra tion's bacon can probably only be saved this time if George is willing to fight, bleed, and die for it. Since the business of the Yalta papers, he is naturally much less likely to do so. "OUT the worst aspect of the in credible blooper on the Yalta papers is the timing. One way or another, the Formosa crisis, which has the most dan gerous domestic political impli cations,' looks like it is coming to a head very soon. And this is the moment chosen for the State Department to nlav what the Democrats unanimously regard as a sleazy political trick, thus inviting them to nlav Dolitics with foreign policy in their turn. Finally, it is generally agreed that the Yalta papers will not be of any real Dolitical benefit to the Republicans, even though they do occasionally show the late President Roosevelt in an unlovely light. This is the ironv of the whole sorry business. But the mystery remains how Sec retary Dulles, who has wisely gone to great lengths to estab lish good relations with Sen. 1 ? By Stewart AIsop George, and who courageously withstood fierce political pres sure to release the Yalta papers for the 1954 campaign, allowed this messy business to occur.

Park Viaduct Opposed To the Editor: Members of the Medford Garden Club feel the proposal to build an elevated freeway for Highway 99 along the east side of Bear creek over and through Hawthorne Park is very alarming to all people who have worked for the park and who love and enjoy its beauty and restful facilities. The park is located along the east side of Bear Creek which gives it a natural setting. Bear Creek will be cleaned up and improved some day which would enable it to be utilized to its full capacity. Unquestionably, the lo cating of a freeway along the east side of Bear Creek will to a large extent destroy this natur al setting. Hawthorne Park serves all of the people in the City of Med ford and is used by residents throughout the entire county. Any belief that may exist that the park only serves the east side of Medford is completely erroneous. One only needs to go there during the picnicking and swimming time of the year to see people who are there. The pool is used by youngsters and adults from all over the city and as it would be immed iately east and adjacent to the freeway it would certainly be a much less attractive place. Some of the prime attributes of a park are that it should be beautiful, quiet and restful. Much time and money has been spent by the City, the Medford Garden Club and other inter ested groups and persons to land scape the park and to bring it to its present condition. It certain ly would not add to the quietness and beauty. It would appear that some people feel that there is no chance that a freeway might be built within the next ten years but no one can be certain. It might be in the near future. At the present time preliminary sur veys are being made and if the people of Medford and vicinity do not want the freeway to be built in this place, they should act now and write to the Med ford City Council and to the Oregon State Highway Commis sion, Salem, Oregon, voicing their objections to the proposal. Mrs. LeRoy Cline, Pres. Mrs. C. L. Nordquist, Sec'y., Medford Garden Club. The G.O.P. Is Paleolithic To the Editor: I see by the papers Senator Neuberger has contributed $25.00 to a fund to keep the squirrels AT the White House. I also would like to create a fund, and as a starter, I will contribute $25.00. My fund, is for a different purpose than that of Senator Neuberger's. My fund would be for the purpose of getting the squirrels away FROM the White House instead of at. There are those that will say I am not being charitable that really there are no squirrels, just a bunch of crazy mixed up executives, who still believe the science of government could be learned in the market place. Yet, it is hard to put it down to just being confused, when you have, Percentage Nixon sound ing off, Know-nothing Know land screaming for war, Massive retaliation Dulles backing and filling, Pres. Sect'y Hagerty as serting everybody agrees with everybody, altho' they don't, and in general, the Ike-ites making noises about the Yalta papers when even the President himself has never read them. The G.O.P. still lives in the past, paleolithic, that is. Hoover is set to hacking up the welfare state. Dexter White is exhumed. F.D.R. is dead, and of course it is safe to say he was wrong. The past is so important, apparently the future is not, or somebody around 1600 Penn. Ave. would note the time, for it is MUCH, MUCH later than you think, General. Lee Wilmeth, 168 Mead St., Ashland. Check Those Flues To the Editor: Last year, just 24 days before Christmas, our family experienced something we had never thought of as being possible. While I was at work my wife took our two children to drive downtown for groceries. In her absence our house caught fire due to a defective flue. Above our insurance we lost $1,900 but were thankful no one was hurt or died as a result. I am very conscious of fire now but am more conscious of how neglectful probably 99 out of 100 people are regarding pre venting fire in their homes. If you could have heard what I did from the fire chief that day I wonder what you would have thought. I have seen firemen work be fore and believe me I don't think our fire department can be topped anywhere. They actu ally saved everything they pos sibly could by piling the articles OUT ON ARRIVAL - Memphis, Tenn (U.R) The fire department Saturday listed, without comment, this cause for answering a call: "Child's lip caught in ironing board, out on arrival." away and covering them with a tarp, avoiding water damage. Mind you, the house was ablaze and the fumes were so bad they still were choking and had tears in their eyes from the smoke when they left. They hold the admiration and respect of all who saw what they did for us and certainly deserve it as they are real firemen, not just hose holders. To get to the purpose of this letter. I wonder why the fire codes are not applied and en forced more than at present. I understand that a large percent age of fires could be avoided by eliminating defective flues. Have you ever noticed how many items appear in your pa per about fires caused by defec tive flues? My friend who purchased a house here recently almost lost his home by fire from a defec tive flue the first day he moved in the very day I told him to check it over and fix it. People should take advice from an expert in such matters, the fire chief, and adopt some codes and laws in future and existing dwellings for their own protection. Tear out those tomato cans that are laying on the wood through the walls or ceilings, and install proper flues with proper clearance from combusti ble materials. It is common sense that if you can't afford a little investment for basic protection, how can you afford to lose every thing? I learned the tough way as many have. Better give our fire chief a call if you have any doubts about your flues. A. Napolitano, 225 So. Riverside, Medford, Ore. How About a bouble Tax? To the Editor: I have been reading the Tribune for the last 6 years and have enjoyed your editorials and I have agreed with you on all issues 100. If the state legislature comes up with a sales tax or gas tax, or property tax -to balance the state books I think what will be best is a sales tax. Now the one I feel they should kick out is the double tax. I draw royalty from a zinc mine in Kansas of which I must pay Kansas from 1 to as much as 5. In my case then I must add this to Oregon gross income then pay Oregon state tax on my gross of which Oregon had noth ing to do with producing. Then when we get the sales tax that will take another cut. I would like to know what you think of this double tax? Paul J. Smith, 839 West 13th Ed. Note: We ODDOse a sales tax except as a last resort. We oeiieve the tax program based on an increase in the income tax, which the legislature has decided upon is about as fair and desir able as anyone could expect under the circumstance. If one has income property in one state and lives in another a double tax can't be avoided. Says Christianity Won't Work To the Editor: Reading Thom as McCamant's letter in the Mail Tribune, I feel impelled to ex press my complete disagreement with his views. He says we need to get back to fundamental Chris tian ethics to save the world from destruction in the next atomic war. My opinion is that such ideal ism won't work with a deter mined group of people as we are now facing in the Kremlin. It would, on the contrary, bring about the very opposite, namely the enslavement of all mankind because these people recognize nothing but absolute force. You may rest assured if they did not fear the consequences of massive retaliation they would have been on the rampage long ago. As a matter of fact we must re alize that religion and idealism never have prevented wars among the different groups of the human race. I could say a great deal more about this but let me quote' just a few lines from Emery Redes book "The Anatomy of Peace": "The wholesale murder, tor ture, persecution and oppression we are witnessing in the middle of the twentieth century proves xne complete bankruptcy of Christianity as a civilizing force, its failure as an instrument tn tame instinctive human passions and to transform man from an animal into a rational social being. History demonstrates in disputably that there is onlv one method to make man accept moral principles and standards of social conduct. That method is law. Peace among men and a civilized society which are one and the same thin? ari imag inable only within a legal order equipped with institutions to give effect to DrinciDles and worn in the form of law, with adequate. In TKe Day's By FRANK JENKINS Las Vegas about which I've written before, but can't refrain from writing again is Amer ica's most fabulous spot. Perhaps I'd better pause here and defend this use of the word fabulous. No dictionary is avail able at the spot where I'm writ ing this, but as I understand it "fabulous" is an adjective used to describe something amazing, something out of this world, something that couldn't possibly be, but IS. Well, that's Las Vegas. Let me illustrate. You look at a horse, say, or a cow. It MAKES SENSE. It eats. It eats hay and grass and grain. It drinks water. It breathes air. You know what keeps it going. I'm speaking, of course, of a horse or a cow out in a pasture, or in a barn, where hay and grass and water are to be had. And where there is air to breathe. You know, without even stopping to add it up, what makes the creature tick. BUT Let's now imagine a cow or a horse sealed up tight within a glass case. No hay is available, no grass, no grain, no water. Be cause the glass case is hermeti cally sealed, there is no air. And yet The thing goes right on living, and growing. Not only that, but it goes on growing at a fantastic rate. That would be against nature. SO YOU'D look at the thing flnrf sav "This HAN'T T?F. I must be asleep and dreaming." You'd pinch yourself. You'd shake your head and open and shut your eyes. You'd stomp your feet to see if you could feel the shock. These tests would convince you that you were awake and in full possession of your faculties. But you still wouldn't be able to believe the thing your eyes were seeing. You'd wind up eventual Astronomy By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division Oregon Higher Education System The University of Oregon community was especially fa ored recently in hearing an in formative lecture on Radio As tronomy by the Australian as tronomer, Dr. R. N. Bracewell. This is a comparatively new sub ject in scientific circles, but one in which much interest is de veloping. This subject has to do with the detection of radio waves coming from the great spaces far beyond the earth. Today practically everyone is familiar with the reception of radio signals from the artificial sources of the various sending stations. Only 35 years ago most receiving sets required elaborate aerials strung from high trees or along the house tops. Today television aerials decorate the roof tops. But the feeble signals coming from the starry skies. and discovered only in very re cent years, require such im mense receiving apparatus that only institutions with consid erable financial means can set them up. Steerable concerns cost about 81,000,000 each. Radio Telescopes These cosmic aerials are us ually referred to as radio tele scopes. They are huge structures fashioned in the shape of con cave mirrors but of an open net work. Some are set so as to be directed toward the zenith and thus to receive signals from the parts of the universe which, due to the earth's daily rotation, pass above them during 24 hours. The better ones can be turned toward various parts of the sky. The recent construction at Jod- rell Bank in England has a mir ror-shaped receiver which is 250 feet in diameter. The mo tions around both the horizontal and vertical axes require 100 horsepower electric motors for their operation. A picture of this can be found in Sky and Tele scope for February 1953. This magazine can be found in any good libarry. It has been well established that the radio waves from the skies do not come from all direc tions but from very definite lo cations. The sun produces these at times, especially when solar flares and sunspots are seen. These radiations travel with the speed of light, 186,300 miles per second. Signals Often Strong Certain diffuse nebulae are constant sources. This is true of the Crab nebula, where a super nova flared up in A.D. 1054, the Orion nebula and the Omega nebula. In many cases the sig nals are strong where no star is visible through optical tele scopes. Thus we are learning of the universe through a new method. A very strong source is in the direction of the constellation power to apply those laws and to enforce them with equal, vigor against all who violate them." I urge everyone interested in the welfare of mankind to get hold of this book and spread its message far and wide so that perhaps there may still be a chance to bring finally peace, or der and a more secure life to this very troubled old planet, our earth. Wm. Krauss, Rt. 1, Box 373, Gold Hill .Ore. News ly with a shrug of your shoul ders and a crack to the effect that they must be doing It with mirrors. That's Las Vegas. WE'VE aU been taught that if "a city is to grow from a hamlet into a village, from,a vil lage into a town and from a town into a CITY it must have PRO DUCTIVE resources. There must be rich soil upon which crops of food and fiber, can be grown and upon which livestock can be grazed. Or there must be timber in the vicinity. Or ores. All these things pro vide raw materials upon which the labor of human beings can be expended in order to create wealth. By expending their labor upon raw materials, human beings create wealth and in the process of creating wealth they create cities. AU these things are funda mental. Even Karl Marx recognized them and taught them. BUT here is Las Vegas. It lies in the middle of a bar ren desert, where even cactus has trouble in growing. It has some water adjacent, but it is in a deep canyon and hard to get at. The water s used for the making 4 of power, but the bulk of the power is shipped to Los Angeles and elsewhere. At the miniscule industrial area of Henderson there is some metals reduction, but it is on a relatively microscopic scale. And yet, in the midst of this eco nomic vacuum, there is a lusty and burgeoning city that bur geons and grows lustier and lustier by the minute. Every time you see it, it is about twice as big as it was when you saw it the last time. HOW COME? It's a strange story, and I'm running out of space for today. I'll go into it more fully next time. via Radio Cygnus. Perhaps two galaxies are colliding somewhere out yonder. If these sources were 10 times as far away, it could still be observed by the radio tele scope but not by optional instru ments. Through radio means we are thus learning more of our own galactic center than ever before. Do intelligent signals ever come from these distant sources? Dr. Bracewell laughingly said, "Not in any language we know." The waves are caused by mighty cosmic reactions not too well understood. They produce mere noise In the receivers. Woodworkers Back Autonomous Union In Lumber Industry Portland (U.R) The CIO Woodworkers union Saturday proposed the establishment of an "autonomous, international" un ion in the lumber industry. The proposal was contained in a public announcement of the endorsement by the union's exe cutive board of the AFL-CIO merger agreement. Concurs in Plan A. F. Hartung, union presi dent, said "The executive board of the International Woodwork ers of America, CIO-CCL con curs in the merger agreement, as adopted by the Executive Board of the CIO. "In the friendly atmosphere of the CIO-AFL merger agree ment, the IWA Executive Board proposes the establishment of a new autonomous International industrial union in the logging, manufacturing and processing of all . wood products," Hartung said. Would Take in All The new union would take in all werkers "from the stump to the finished product" Hartung said, but would not invade the jurisdiction of the Building Trade Crafts. Hartung said the statement of policy was prepared by repre sentatives of lumber workers in all parts of the United States and Canada. Find Man Innocent Of Draft Evasion Portland (U.R) Otiis Rnrrl Jellison, 22, has been found in nocent of violating the selective service act by failing to report to his Linn county draft board. it was disclosed in an ODinion made public Friday. Jellison is a member of the Church of God Seventh Day at Scravel Hill near Albany. He was tried without a inrv on Jan. 25 before Federal Judge Gus Solomon. Jellison had been classified as 1-AO, or available for noncombatant military serv ice. He appealed from this but was turned down and ordered to report for induction. Judge Solomon found Jellison should be classed as 1-0 because "the evidence indicated that both of his young bothers, . as well as alt the other young men in the Scravel Hill church, have been classified 1-0. 4
