In fact we can't recall that Mr. Dulles has ever had a vacation. If he has in recent years, at least it is a fairly safe wager he took his brief case and1 at least one secretary with him. "All work and no play" makes even the most scholarly and skillful member of the cabinet a dull boy. And there is a vast accumulation of evidence that the Secretary of State is in danger of having the first half of his name emphasized as much or more than it was when he ran for the U. S. Senate, if he doesn't watch out and take more time out also. pVEN the stalwart and loyal Republican Oregonian is complaining. It terms the recent ouster of Ed ward J. Corsi as special assistant to the Secretary, for example, as astounding. We quote: "There is something radically wrong with the adminis tration's personnel programs and the best way to get on with correction is to face it. . . . Perhaps the storm that has arisen will shake the administration into a realization that major changes in personnel policies are in order." But who was responsible for this "astounding" action? None other than Secretary of State Dulles. He had to eive the preen liffht and the red one. Moreover Mr. Dulles declared the prominent New York Repub lican of Italian origin the best choice imaginable for taking over the administration of the immigration laws, and then 90 davs later, kicked him out, declar ing him insubordinate and DUT that wasn't all. Before this explanation "Mr. Secretary" said he did not question Mr. Corsi's loyalty or ability, but he had to let him go because the appointment had been for only 90 days and his term had run out. As was suggested at the press con ference at that time, why couldn't a reappointment be made, a question which was ignored, but another appointment was suggested which the gentleman from New York declined. Mr. orsi remarked then that nothing had ever been said to him about a 90-day term, had there been he would have not agreed to serve. He did not go so far as to question Mr. Dulles veracity, but he did question his "good faith," and what he termed his "integrity." A HEARING regarding this case is now in progress rt-nA rwnVvo Vvlir fVia rool fofe will ViVniiorhf nnf particularly as to whether because of incompetence, had expired or as some observers believe, because of vague charges of the McCarthy variety, that at some time in the dim and distant past, Mr. Corsi was a member of the Communist party. . But we are not so greatly concerned with this Corsi case, per se, as we are with the cumulative evi dence of which it is only a part. And that evidence makes it clear our Secretary of State is showing the effects of strain and fatigue and is in need of rest and recreation. " . THERE was the release of the Yalta papers for ex- ample, a short time back. When Mr. Dulles was asked just why he took this action at the time and place he did, instead of answer ing he flew into a rage, turned on the interrogator with clenched fist and stalked off to his plane, leaving his companion, the Canadian ambassador, alone and forced to run to catch up with him. - THAT is not like the self -controlled, scholarly and courteous head of the state department, either dur ing the present administration or the preceding one. In fact, a tape recording of the Secretary's recent remarks regarding domestic and foreign affairs, from Formosa to the recent speech by Adlai btevenson, would reveal an extent of confusion and contradic tion which can only be explained by the fact the con scientious head of our state department had tried to do too much of late, and should have a holiday. We have a high opinion of Mr. Dulles' devotion to duty and country, his fund of knowledge, his vast and varied experience but too much is too much. And that is what Mr. Dulles had had the past year or two. SO OUR suggestion to the Oregonian and the pow-ers-that-be in Washington is that the Secretary be given a well deserved vacation, and let the second-in-command take over for a while. If such action would necessitate the President cutting short his vacation in Atlanta or cutting a few holes of golf, we are quite sure the President would be not only willing but delighted to do it for the sake of the cause. R.W.R. The McCarran Act "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled massesj' the wretched refuse of your teeming shore; send these the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden-door." That is the well-known inscription on the Statue of Liberty beneath the torch that has been held aloft in New York harbor all these years. lHEN the Corsi inquiry ends there is little doubt the fact will be clear that the basic trouble in the controversy has been in the acceptance of the philos ophy of that Lazarus sonnet, by one side, and its rejec tion by the other. The McCarran immigration law was designed, and even more clearly, interpreted, to keep "the hud dled masses" out of the country, and admit only the better grade of citizens, with a particular scrutiny of Sunday.

Look at the record of American action on the issue of me oiisnore isiana mrougn the eyes of those most directly af fected and you realize at once that the danger of demoraliza tion here on Formosa is bound to be considerable. Item one on the record is President Eisenhower's famous "unleashing of Chiank Kai- shek," and his sharp attack on the Truman administration for pursuing precisely the policy that the Eisenhower administration has now embodied in the For mosa treaty. To give reality to the "unleashing," the American policy makers strongly pressed the Generalissimo to occupy the offshore islands in force. Until this pressure was ap plied in 1953, even Quemoy was rather lightly held. Everyone on Formosa assumed that the island - positions were expend able before they were occupied in force. It was by American request, then, that the Generalis simo in effect committed him- self, before his army and his people, to defend the offshore islands with aU his power. Item two on the record is the quick switch that the Eisenhow er administration made last fall, as soon as the Chinese Commu nist threat to the islands became serious. Overruling three of the four Joint Chiefs of Staff, Presi dent Eisenhower decided that the islands which the Generalissimo had committed himself to defend by American request, were now to be abandoned without a fight. The result was the Administra tion policy paper widely known in the inner circles as "Fifty Four FortyNo Fight." As de cided by the President, this paper took the firm position that the United States would not as sist in the defense of the off shore islands. "DUT in January, came item three, when "Fifty-Four Forty No Fight" was suddenly junked in favor of a new de cision to abandon the Tachens but to defend Quemoy and the Matsus. This new policy was so firmly agreed on that on Jan. 19 Secretary of State John Foster Dulles formally promised Chi nese Foreign Minister George Yeh that Quemoy and the Matsus would be publicly guaranteed by the President himself. According to Dulles, the Presi dent was going to give this pub lic guarantee as soon as the Con gress had passed the Formosa resolution. On the strength of the minutes of the Dulles-Yeh conversation, American Ambas sador Karl Rankin also publicly forecast a guarantee of Quemoy and the Matsus here in Taipeh. Meanwhile other American mili tary and political leaders were making fighting noises of the kind that were also heard in Washington in the early stages of the Dienbienphu crisis. Finally, the fourth item in the record was the President's re- .. . ... - I pudiation of his Secretary of state s promise; his refusal to give any public guarantee of Quemoy and the Matsus; and the ... ' I resulting adoption of the policy or is it the non-policy? of 'Keeping them guessing." This phase has lasted to the present day, with such incidents as Ad miral Carney's background talk about atomic war by April 15 to give it spice.

The assumption of the authors was that the more the refugees needed a home, needed aid, the less de sirable they were. MATURALLY, however, Mr. Corsi, from Southern A" Europe himself, did not accept this line of reason ing and as long as he was in. office fought for the rights of "the homeless and the tempest-tost, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore." He was ac cused of disregarding the law, but he probably merely tried to establish a more liberal and democratic inter pretation. If this view is correct there seems little doubt that whatever the exact result of the inquiry, the political effect as far as New York is concerned, will not be received with any outbursts of joy by the leaders of the Republican party, in that populous common wealth.

How much further the thing will go, is far more difficult to tell. On the one hand, there is the record of 1950, the last time when the Communists were seriously threatening to attack this island. In the period be fore the outbreak of the Korean war ended the threat to For mosa, there were the most wide spread and alarming signs of dis affection here. Among a considerable number of traitors in key places, the most significant was the deputy chief of general staff, Gen. Wu Shieh. Gen. Wu Shieh led a considerable group recruited within the general staff and in other key positions, and he was in direct radio communication with Peiping. According to weU authenticat ed report, Wu Shieh and his group might never have been caught, if they had not actually dared to hold an after hours meeting in the "government palace itself. A clean up coolie blundered into the meeting with his mop and pail. One of the conspirators over excitedly shot him on the spot. The noise brought the guards, and so the plot was revealed, and Wu Shieh was executed early in June, 1950. There is no doubt at all that the Peiping government is now trying to encourage new. treach eries here on Formosa. The re turn to Communist China of the Generalissimo's old favorite, Gen. Wei Lihuang, was part of a well planned and weU organ ized effort. Other such returns are to be expected. Part of the same effort, too, is the promin ence accorded the turncoats al ready in Peiping. In the reor ganization of the Peiping govern ment, ex-associates of Chiang Kai-shek have been given over a score of places on the Commu nist National Military Council. 01 THE other side" of the ledger, meanwhile, there is the stern and efficient police job that has been done on Formosa by the Generalissimo's son,' Gen. Chiang Ching-kuo. However much key persons may be tempt ed to throw in the sponge if America abandons the islands, the fact remains that treachery on Formosa is no longer the easy business it once was. Balance the strictness of Chiang Ching-kuo's police against the evidence on the other side, and you get a very real doubt. It is certain that if the United States does not assist in the defense of the offshore islands, the militarv and nnliti- cal demoralization here will be severe. But it is uncertain, be cause of the prevailing police. annig uuiict measures, whether this demorali. zation will lead to innro nnonlv serious consequences.

Many Gates to Heaven To the Editor: It matters not what one's religious belief chances to be, not one particle bit so long as it helps you to be a better man or woman, con tributing to the harmony of your community and your country, for there are many, many gate ways to the realms of heaven. It is most presumptuous and displays a lack of wisdom for any one group to hold that theirs is the only one, the right one. The great worry is when any one group . becomes over-dominant and starts imposing its be lief on others, like the old blue laws of early days when it was a serious offense for a man to be seen kissing his wife on Sun day.' And yet, it took a sizable barrel of whiskey to help or dain a minister of the gospel in those times. And the sod of Eng land was stained red . in the time of Bloody Mary in her en deavor to impose her religious belief on others. One reason why many of our forefathers came here where independence for the individual is honored. But the most reassuring thought to me and many others of my acquaintance is the sure knowledge that goodness of heart reigns in the majority of mankind. No matter how we may backslide into a welter of brute savagery, blood and tears, our overall progress is to a bet ter, a more tolerant way of life. When gospel crusaders come to our door, thev are asked in side to where the flag of our country reposes in a corner of the living room, ready for dis play on suitable days. Honoring the flag is the first request, then they can tell their story if they make it short, and it is generally short for they do not seem in terested that it is that flae whicn guarantees their right to do what thev're dome. It sure does give me a good feelintr to know that these visit ors, obviously intolerant, are not in position to impose their will on me. There is at least that much good derived from such meetings.

Main st Poisonous Sprays To the Editor: The February 17, 1955 edition of the Oregon Farmer quotes Dr. David E Price, assistant surgeon general, U.S. Public Health Service, as stating in an address that: "Or ganic phosphorous compounds re cently. introduced, sprayed on a plant, translocated to other parts of that plant, including the fruit. Was considered quite unstable Recent experiments have shown this is untrue. Fruit sprayed heavy with these compounds re- mam toxic to experimental am mals for many months."

Dematon, which is gen eral name . . . available under the label of systox. Dr. Coda Martin of New York in talks on DDT and related poi son spoke of needed research on these dangerous chemicals which are indiscriminately and lavishly sprayed on food. The Geneva conference passed laws prohibiting use of chemicals on our enemies during the war yet we use the same kind of chemicals on our foods with the sanction of our government. This seems to be insane to say the least. Remember these poi sons are cumulative in soil, food, animals and men. Some are more sensitive to the chemicals than others.

Not All Delinquents To the Editor Nowadays we hear so much talk about juvenile delinquents, and very little men tion of the juveniles who are not delinquent, I feel it is time I told of an experience I recentiy had with two teenage boys who might well be classed in the latter cate gory. I had occasion last . week to pick up a passenger at a bus depot in Medford and while there my purse feU out of the car. I did not discover the loss until I got home. I returned im mediately to the bus depot but could not find the purse. Upon my return home a telephone call from the Medford police station informed me that a couple of boys had found and brought in my purse. There was quite a consider able sum in checks and cash in the purse and everything was in tact when I recovered the purse. Although I gave the boys a small cash reward, I feel it isn't enough to expfess my apprecia tion and besides I wish to call attention to the fact we do have some teenagers who are not de linquents. So let us not condemn the whole group, but give praise when it is due, and we will prob ably find more to praise than to censure. Thank you again, boys, if you should read this. Mrs. R. E.

Assigned to view one of the new industrial installations here last week, a reporter returned to the office exhausted and in a complete state of befuddlement. The scribe related that on reach ing the plant site he contacted his guide-to-be and they started out. The guide first rushed over to a big pile of dirt, peered brief ly into the hole from which it had been scooped, cursed brief ly but feelingly and galloped to ward another dirt pile some distance away. The reporter, wondering what was in the hole to cause the agitation, also looked in but saw nothing except a small pool of water at the bot tom. The process was repeated at three or four more dirt piles, the guide's excitement and the temperature of his vocabulary increasing at each stop. Finally, the guide haying run out of dirt piles, and expletives, the reporter caught up with him and asked what the trouble was. "Leaks!" said the guide.

He is the Jackson county budget committee consisting of the county court and three appointed members. -This committee de cided to distribute $685,859.07 of the $815,000 coming from the county share of O&C reserved funds to the school districts of the county on the ratio of the school census. Use of the funds will be limited to payment of bonded indebtedness of the school districts. The process by which this allocation will be le galized will be through adoption of the county budget for the next fiscal year. These funds are derived from the proceeds of sales of timber from the so-called controverted lands. This controversy extended over many years and related to lands that would have been in the O&C railroad grant but were locked in national forests. Re cently the dispute was termi nated by a new law and by a court decision. The funds which were held in escrow in the treas ury during the interval came to a total of around five million dollars. The O&C counties are to receive 75 per cent of this sum Budget committees of other counties will have to decide what use to make of their share of this windfall. (Unfortunately Marion county s share .is not large.) Some will devote it to road improvements, others may spend it on county buildings. Jackson county sets an example by giving schools the lion's share, and friends of the schools in other counties may press for similar recognition. - - - This windfall will come only once.
