There is a movement on to establish a dog-racing track near Ashland. The Ashland Tidings has taken a vigorous stand against it and the Tidings is right As our worthy contemporary states quote : "The dogs are not run for the sport of running. They are raced only for the individual gain which the promoters and operators of the track can get out of it" That is entirely correct. If pari-mutual betting were eliminated there would be no dog-racing track and no suggestion of one. The whole business is a gambling racket and and everyone who knows anything about dog-racing knows it. .TTHE claim is made such a venture would increase the tourist traffic, bring outside dollars into the community, and add to the county's recreational as sets. The Tidings harpoons this familiar and fallacious "sales-talk" as follows: "Every type of business in the southern part of Jack son county would suffer economic damage. Money spent on the pari-mutuals at a dog-track can't be used to pay bills for goods and services, it can't be used to purchase milk, meat or groceries; it can't be used for the purchase of household furnishings, home appliances, automobiles Right here and now this newspaper expresses itself as un alterably opposed to dog-racing, the pari-mutuals, and the undesirable element that hangs around a dog-track This newspaper can see nothing but economic harm for individ uals least able to afford it and business loss for all mer chants of the Ashland, Talent, Phoenix and Medford areas. THAT is correct. 1 . To those who still doubt it, we would suggest a trip to Pasadena, Calif. Ask any merchant there how his business fares when the horse racing season is on at Santa Anita and when it isn't. The Santa Anita promoters make millions but no one else does, least of all the poor saps who think they can not only beat the game but live on it. We grant it is fun to gamble, but only those who indulge m it. The sad fact is, as the who do indulge in it most, least afford it, and in far are tragic. FINALLY there is no reasonable doubt organized r4nrr nn Antra hnrcac rf liimnin tr fmrra is against the law in this state, and in violation of the state constitution. Those who want to follow the example of Nevada and make gambling one of our major industries should first get the state laws changed. For as a whole the people of this commonwealth, believe m law enforce ment, and also believe those who don't like any law as it is, should not violate it but secure its repeal. So why not put the repeal proposal up to the spe cial session of the Legislature, or if a special session is not called, to the next regular one? We will let our readers answer THAT one ! ! R.W.R. The 4-Power Conference For once Senator Knowland of California doesn't agree with Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin. This comes under the heading of "news." For the Republican senate leader, not only voted against the censure of Mr. McCarthy and McCarthyism; but in general and for a considerable time, has given aid and comfort to the McCarthy faction, by opposing President Eisenhower on many important issues par ticularly regarding the administration's foreign pol icy. MOW the senior Senator from our neighboring state takes issue with McCarthy as far as the latter's condemnation of US participation in the Four power conference is concerned. He isn't very enthus iastic, emphatic or explicit but he does express his official judgment, that he does not believe either President Eisenhower or Secretary Dulles will fail to protect vital American rights at this conference or indulge in any "appeasement" as far as Russia is concerned. Very generous of Senator Knowland! This mild rebuke will make no difference to the Wisconsin firebrand however, for he is going to try to make political capital for himself out of this "sum mit gathering," no matter what its results may be. e JMcCARTHY is convinced nothing of importance can come out of this conference, and in all prob ability, he is correct. . No inf ormed person expects Russia to abandon its effort to neutralize Germany, or to agree to any dis armament proposals that will really weaken its pow ers of offensive action. The best that anyone can reasonably expect will be a net result of reduction in tensions, by a realiza tion by the government heads on both sides that the opposition does nt want another world war any more than they do, and where there is no definite "will to war" the chances of preventing it are greatly in creased. That would be a considerable accomplishment and justify the conference historically, but there would be nothing sufficiently tangible or startling to satisfy the McCarthy group, or prevent them,, from maintaining Uncle Sam had been taken for another ride, and the meeting had been, internationally speak ing, another Eisenhower flop, and a victory for the forces of evil in the Kremlin. So that is undoubtedly the McCarthy line regard ing this particular issue, at this particular time. -R.W.R. ' Sunday, June It, 18SS can afford to lose, should Tidings states, that those are usually those who can too many cases the results Moffer of ANOTHER AIR SHOW (Note to readers: Having ob tained a Soviet visa by writ ing personally .to N i k i t a Khrushchev, . Stewart Alsop has just left for a month's tour in Russia. Joseph Alsop will be writing from Wash ington until his bother begins to report from Moscow.) Washington The American intelligence experts are waiting with distinctly bated breaths for the reports on a special air show that the Soviets have prom ised to stage in Moscow over the weekend. The advance billings justify a high measure of nervous an ticipation. In the first place, the deeply alarm ing array of planes shown at the usual Moscow air Joseph Alsop show in May were all in mass production al ready. Secretary of . Defense Charles E. Wilson has made him self the laughing stock of the Air Force and the aircraft in dustry by suggesting that the already-exhibited jet bombers and supersonic fighters were mere Soviet prototypes. No na tion on earth makes prototypes by the score. The failure to include any pro totypes in the May show leads to the natural conclusion that the special June showing in itself an altogether novel event is meant to present important new prototype aircraft in the most dramatic manner possible. rpHE Russians themselves have pointed towards this proba bility in two different ways. A day or so ago, a kind of teasing preview was allowed in Moscow of a wholly new, twin-rotor, large size helicopter, suitable for troop transport. It is believed to have been a prototype. In addition, members of an official delegation of Soviet air engi neers at the Canadian Inter national Trade Fair have just given a strikingly interesting interview to a correspondent of "Aviation Week." The Russians stated roundly: "The air demonstration over Moscow will display aeronauti cal models more advanced than those seen before." If this is true, and if the new models are in important categories, we are probably due for another shock that may even shake the seemingly unshakable complacency of Secretary Wil son. It would seem foolishly an ticlimatic to stage a special air show to exhibit relatively un important advances. Hence high ly significant new models are on the whole expected to appear in the Moscow air. e rpHE betting concentrates on two different types. The Bison, which is the Soviet equi valent of our B-52 heavy, long- range jet bomber, has some marks of an interim design. There is queer contrast, for ex ample, between the Bison's swept-back wings and straight tail. Hence the foreign observers in Moscow will not be surprised if a substantially improved ver sion of the Bison is now shown off. Again, the new Russian super sonic, all-weather fighters that were shown in a flight of 30 in May did not appear to be quite up to the quality of our own F-102. They are materially better than our F-94C, the best all-weather fighter we now have in service in the American air defense system. But they are not as good as the Russians must want them to be. Hence a new and better all-weather Soviet fighter is also being anxiously watched for. The betting on these partic ular models may of course be al together wrong, and the claims of the Soviet engineers in To ronto may of course be ridicu lously exaggerated. If ithe Soviets rack up important new advances in air design, however, it will be time for the most huckster ish of the Pentagon's pet huck sters to stop twaddling about the "American lead." ON THE showing to date, So viet air design has drawn even with our own. Soviet de velopment time. The American lead consists wholly in a num ber of air-craft already in being the. B-47 fleet to be specific. And in the other types which the Soviets showed in early May, the lead belongs to them in every case except that of the jet bom bers. They have 10 Bisons in the air, against about 30 B-52S already off the production line in this country. But in the dif ferent classes of advanced fight er, they have reached the stage of mass production whereas we really have not. The question remains as to what the Soviet motive may be. Why do they exhibit the best they have as publicly as poss ible almost rubbing our noses in it, in fact when here in Washington we are in the grip of an unprecedented campaign of censorship? Part of the an swer is a probable explanation of both these contrasting phe nomena In Moscow and Wash Fact By Joseph Alsop ington. The Soviets now feel that they are gaining the edge on us, are proud of it, and want to prove it. . AS FOR the rest of the answer, it wnillH pem in lio in ihm past Adolph Hitler had a clear and shrewd political motive, when he displayed his lumbering files of tanks in the streets of Berlin and Vienna; exposed the secrets of his aircraft industry to Charles A. Lindbergh and others; and generally showed off his military strength at every opportunity. He wanted to in timidate and paralyze the op position. So no doubt do the Soviets. Copyright, 1955 New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS HEADED for PorUand by West Coast plane. Time to Medford is about 30 minutes quite a little faster than the Applegate party made it back in 1846, when they were pioneering the Old South road. The world changes. T1ENEATH the plane, practical ly from the time it leaves Klamath Falls to the edge of the Rogue River valley, there is a solid carpet of timber, with here and there a green meadow. In the light of more recent knowledge, one can't help won dering if perhaps there isn't al most as much timber now as there was when the Applegate party was following the game trails across the mountains 109 years ago. Quite a lot of new knowledge is coming to us about the rate of growth of the timber here in Southern Oregon as, for that matter, all over Oregon and Northern California. A T ANY rate, it seems probable that we have a lot more tim ber in this area than we thought possible a few years ago. If we handle it wisely from here on out, I'm sure we're going to have enough to keep our payrolls go ing for a long time. T"HE plane drifts down to the runway at the Medford air port, touches its wheels with a faint sound of grinding rubber, then rolls to a stop. Those who are getting off get off. Those who are getting on get on. A through passenger holds up his wrist and keeps a careful eye on his watch. As the plane takes off, he re marks: "Two minutes and 16 seconds. Not bad." That's smart feeder airline op eration. Frequent stops, giving service to many communities. Down again., up again, with a minimum of lost time. rpHE BIG through airlines with their four engine planes, are wonderful for the long hops, but it's the feeder lines, with their stops at every town that has an airport and their efficient oper ation in getting down and up again without wasted time, that will bring the benefits of fast air transport to the country at large. rpHIS land quickly and take off A- quickly performance at Med ford is repeated at Roseburg, at Coos Bay, at Eugene and at the Albany-CorvaUis field. It's quite an achievement, and will bring great changes in the future. VITHEN one is killing time, it is " hard to resist eavesdropping on one's neighbors. Two young men in the seat ahead, probably in their late 30's, are engaging in personal chit-chat. One says to the other: "Where did you live before you came West?" "Minnesota," was the answer. "How did you come to change?" the first one asked. "WeU, you'll laugh," the other replied, "My wife and I have rel atives all over the northern half of Minnesota. We have nine chil dren. Every time one of our kids did something not wholly com mendable, every relation in the outfit, in-laws and all, heard of it, and it kept our faces red aU the time. So we decided to move to the West and be on our own." "TTOW do you like it?" his com panion asked. "It's wonderful," the father of nine responded. "For the first time in our lives we can be our selves and we can let our chil dren be themselves- It's good for aUofus." THE conversation drifted on. "Nine children," the first young man remarked, "is a fine, large family. Did you plan it that way?" . "Wel-1-1, not exactly," was the answer. "We'd planned to stop at five. . But the sixth one came along, and after that it just didn't seem to matter. The more the merrier." DELILAH, MODERN STYLE Cheboygan, Mich. (U.R) Cecil Adams' wife didn't like the beard he was growing for Cheboygan County's centennial celebration. One night while he was sleeping, she plugged in his electric shaver and cleaned one side of his face before Adams woke up. Adams took a look in a mirror, plugged in the shaver again and took off the rest of the beard.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit aU letters with an eye to clarification and condensa tion Letters submitted for publica tion must not exceed 400 words. Ellsworth Plan Opposed To the Editor: Our present Fourth District Congressman, Harris Ellsworth of Roseburg, stated last week that the oppon ents of "partnership" dams are in the position of "hunger strik ers" in that they (Morse, Neu berger and Green, in particular) "want government ownership of electric power or none ,at aU." This is nonsense and Mr. Ells worth knows it What we Democrats don't like about "partnership" as promoted by the GOP is that the electric power so generated will not be low-cost power nor will it be available on a regional basis, the two features that made the Bon neville Power Administration so outstandingly successful. Far from being "on strike," Democrats representing Oregon in Congress have been fighting hard for appropriations to build the already authorized dams at Cougar Creek on the south Fork of the McKenzie River, at Green Peter on the Santiam River end at the John Day site on the Co lumbia River. Such appropriations are not expenditures of tax money. They are investments, gilt-edged in vestments as proved by the eagerness of the private utilities to undertake these projects. Mr. Ellsworth and his Repub lican colleagues are the ones tak ing an unreasonable position, to wit, high-cost-pnvate-power or nothing! Instead of issuing such wild, baseless charges, our Congress man might weU emulate his col league, Sam Coon of Baker, and consent to defend his "partner ship" views in a series of de bates in his District this Fall. Certainly power policy is the most vital of all the domestic issues, for upon, its success the economic future of Oregon large ly depends. Charles C.Porter, 2775 University st, Eugene, Oregon. . Animals in the Summer To the Editor: Hot weather is a difficult period in the lives of pets and work animals. The Hu mane Society, Medford, Ore., offers the following advice and hopes you receive it in the spirit it is given. Vacation time brings scores of complaints of animals suffering from hunger, thirst and exposure to the hot sun. Horses, in par ticular, should receive special attention. They should not be forced to carry too heavy loads; generous amounts of cool water should be supplied and frequent rest periods. Many dogs are left in parked cars with the windows closed. These animals, imprison ed, often in the broiling sun, suffer greatly in temperatures that run into the nineties and, often, exceed 100 degrees. Then, there is the doghouse. In the wmter, no doubt, it was placed in the sun for more warmth, but in hot weather it becomes a place of torture. Move it in the shade and see that fresh, cool water is available at all times. If your dog is tied out of doors, be sure he can reach the shade. This goes for cats, too. If you go on a vacation and take your pet with you be sure and do not abandon it to fend for itself. Reasonable intelli gence and good planning will make your animal -problem .a little one. Humane Society Medford, Oregon By Mrs. Beulah H. Richardson, Secretary-Manager Thanks For Help To the Editor: We take this opportunity of expressing our deep gratitude for the generous response to the white cane street sale held May 17-18. The pub licity and cooperation received from the newspapers, radio sta tions and KBES-TV, are aU very much appreciated. Jackson Count) Chapter, Associated Council of the Blind. Justice Under Law To the Editor: Never do I read a U.S. Supreme Court decision since 1938 without reflecting back to the day my wife and I stood in front of that somber edi fice in Washington, D.C., and read above the entrance to The U.S. Supreme Court building, in huge letters chiseled in solid stone: JUSTICE UNDER LAW. We read those words slowly, solemnly, several times; then solemnly asked ourselves "Whose Law? Nero's, Genghis Khan's, Hitler's, Stalin's, George Wash ington's weighed there?" And, "Justice to whom, guilty and in nocent alike?" Justice tempered with mercy, truly justice? Reading David Lawrence's column in the June 11 Oregon Journal, Robert Ruhl's editorial in the June 12 Medford Mail Tribune, and some other ap praisals of the Dr. Peters loyal ty case, might one wonder if too little Justice and too much Law, (at times politically flavored), too often is meted out by America's highest tribunal and some oth er law-dispensing authorities? Reading the separate state ments by Justices Reed, Burton, Is That So? Hamburg, With SAS A sub ject with never-failing interest is how creatures came by their popular names particularly birds. Take such names as goat sucker, killdeer, flicker, shrike, sandpiper, oriole, lapwing Moth- grebe or jaeger. Some names are bestowed due to the bird's dramatic per sonality (sandpiper), colorful coat (oriole), or striking voice (phoebe); some because of char acteristic motions (wagtail); some for persons (martin); and quite a number from foreign languages Goon, godwitt). Perhaps birds come by their names most frequently and honestly through their songs, like cuckoo, flicker, pipit, kill- deer, pewee, phoebe, chicadee and of course, dickcissel who sits on a fence in the middle west and utters his tiresome -l-Sf "dick-ciss-ciss-ciss" without end. As well, the bobolink came by his name from his bubbling song heard in the northeast in the spring. But southerners call him rice bird because of his rice field depredations along the coast during faU migrations. Curiously, the shrike too gets his name from his voice. The word stems from an bid Ice landic word, shrikpa a shriek ing sound the bird makes just as he pounces upon his prey. But another name for shrike is butcher bird which refers to his habit of impaling his prey on a thorn before devouring it. Names Result From Actions Many names result from the bird's .actions, such as the wag tail which pumps its tail up and down, or from side to side. And everyone knows, creepers creep; sandpipers pipe up and down the sands; wodpeckers peck wood; oven birds build nests that are open at the sides like old-fashioned ovens; humming birds make humming sounds with their wings; roadrunners of the west run on trails their speed can equal that of a fast dog's; and the shearwater the crest of the waves. A birds' appearance, too, often helps christen it: the cedar wax- wing is so named because its wings are seemingly tipped with red sealing wax;, the morning warbler, a cheerful singer, has a mournful-appearing blue-gray hood; the oriole takes its name from the Latin word aureolus, meaning golden; the , kinglet from its golden or ruby crown; and the longspur from its ex tended hind spurs. Humans have been honored by having their names bestowed upon birds. Thus, the knot was named for ancient Danish King Canute, who ruled England, be cause of his supposed fancy for the knot as a tasty dish and in former times this bird was net ted and fattened before being slaughtered. The martin was named for Martin, the Bishop of Tours of the 14th century who is the patron saint of France. St Martin's day or martinmas is November 11 a pleasant time of year, usually. The Baltimore oriole for. bearing the colors of the house of Lord Baltimore orange on black. Flit Over Ocean The petrels got their name from their flight as they flit over the ocean their legs dangle and their feet appear to patter on the water as though trying to walk, barkening back to St Peter's ill-fated attempt But an other name for the petrel is Mother Carey's chickens and this is an odd anglicization of Madre Cara, mother of Jesus, to whom many European sailors pray be fore a hazardous voyage. And now to some of the names resulting from "lift" from other languages: . Grebe comes from the Breton word "krib" meaning comb the grebes are characterized by protrusions on the heads whicn might conceivably have suggest ed combs. . , The prothonotary ' warbler, originally spelled without the h, comes from the Latin, the word meaning first notary; the pro tonotary is a papal official who wears yeUow robes and keeps a registry of pontifical acts. From Anglo-Saxon Words Redstart comes from Anglo- Saxon words, "roth" and steort," meaning red-tailed; lap wing,' too, is Anglo-Saxon, from the words "hleape" and "wince," the former meant to turn about in flight, the latter to waver suggestive of the bird's irregu lar flight' Merganser gets its name from Douglas, and comparing them with the majority court decision, might one ask how can such opposite legal opinions be held among such high - caliber legal ly trained jurists? Could they fail sometimes to remember their obligations when they sol emnly assumed those momen tous tasks? Not all can be con cealed even by purple cloaks. John E. Gribble Medford, Oregon By Eugene Burns Ranter-Naturalist ...... - V the Latin "mergus" and an ser," the first meaning to plunge, the second, goose.

As for the poor goatsucker, he was stuck with this misnomer centuries ago thanks to an ignor ant superstitution -among the shepherds of yore that these birds came in the night : and, milked their goats.

A copy of the Medford Mail Tribune, with over 405 other newspapers carrying the Babson Column woturs lAROisr tHoat was buried yesterday at the base of the World's Largest Revolv ing Globe at Babson Park (WeU esley), Mass. These newspapers are In a sealed concrete vault with instructions to open on JUNE 18, 2055. . The globe, proposed by Roger Babson Webber, a gift of Roger W. Babson and family, is a great steel ball, 28 feet in diameter, supporting a map of the world on a scale of 24 miles to the inch in zo curierent colors created in porcelain enamel (fused glass on thin steel plates). Every country in the world is represented with the capitals and cities hav ing a population of a million or more indicated by stars or cir cles. This tremendous globe, weighing 25 tons, is mounted on a 22-inch-diameter six-ton hol low shaft, representing the axis of the earth, set at an angle of 23.5 degrees from the vertical. It is so devised as to rotate about its axis simulating the earth's rotation once, each day of 24 hours. The shaft in turn, is sup ported by a 10-ton triangular carriage revolving on a circular steel track 20 feet in diameter simulating the revolution of the earth about the sun once each year to show the passage of the seasons. ' Among the features shown on the map are 25 of the major mountain peaks of the world, 25 major mountain ranges, 100 principal rivers, innumerable lakes, islands and groups of islands, the depts of the ocean in three different shades of blue, .1. . k.MU, Ik.
