MAIL TRIBUNE
The Annexation Problem
One week from tomorrow the voters in a large
area called "South Medford" will decide whether or
not they wish that area to become a part of the city
of Medford.
The issue is a controversial one and, as sometimes
happens, much of the debate has been emotional, not
rational.
This is unfortunatesbecause this, is the type of
democratic decision, to be made by the people affect
ed, which should be undertaken on the basis of facts,
not fancies. - ' -
THHOSE who object to the annexation proposal do
" so on three principal grounds:
1. That it will cost more money in taxes.
2. That the increases in services are not commen
surate with the increased cost.
3. That the election, set up as it is for a 3,000-acre
area of widely diversified types of land some agri
cultural, some industrial, some residential is "ger
rymandering" in an attempt to get more highly popu
lated sections to overcome objections of less-populous
areas and bring the whole district in, willy-nilly.
...
I ET'S examine these points.
" 1. No one has ever pretended that it would not
take more taxes to have city benefits. City services
must be paid for. One does not "get something for
nothing."
2. Whether increases in services are worth the
added cost is. up to the individual to decide. Some
people, like G. L. Frasier who wrote about his objec
tions to this paper last week, will undoubtedly vote
"no."
Others, located in areas where the ground is pol
luted from cesspool or septic tank overflow; where
thpre is a crvinp- need for new streets, street lights,
sewers and pure water, will realize that an increase
in taxes is a small price to pay for city benefits, and
will vote "yes."
3. There is a valid Question about the advisability
of attempting annexation of

that each of the three Drecincts would come in or
stay out on the basis of their own vote, but there are
advantages in a package
THE planning commission
made up 01 citizens wno are not paia ior men
work, and who base their decisions on what is good
from a long-range viewpoint for the city and the area
affected. . '
Aspersions and insinuations about their motives
have been entirely without justification. If their hon
est judgment differs from the honest judgment of
others, that's fine that's democracy in action. But
insinuations that they have sinister or questionable
motives simply will not stand up. And the preparation
of lists of "loaded" and emotionally-charged ques
tions doesn't add to clear thinking on the problem.
As rn the "tax crab" theorv. which holds that the
pitv is an inanimate "monster." that doesn't hold wa
ter either. Watch the city council in action some time.
It is a representative body, dedicated to service. And
if annexation nasses. the new citizens will have a part
as voters in the operation of
all other levels of government. .
THE Mail Tribune supports the basic principle be
Viinrl tViic annovotinn mnvpiTipnt.. It fines so because
Wlia
this area is growing with great rapidity, and shows
every sign of continuing this growth. If we are to have
orderly development, appropriate regulations are nec
essary. Unfettered individual freedom will have to
make the historic democratic compromises to main
tain a high standard of public welfare.
The health of the whole valley is endangered by
inadequate sewage in several areas. A , sightly and
pleasant city is a city which has, to some extent, been
planned. A safe city is one which has adequate and
efficient law enforcement and fire protection
throughout.
1X7HETHER or not this particular annexation plan
is the answer to this problem (which, sooner or
later, MUST be solved) is a question to be determined
solely by the residents in the annexation area. Those
living in the city cannot force them in, as has been
claimed.
We rather hope they will decide that the present
plan is for their best interests. Few, if any, will suffer
to any serious extent if the plan passes for although
higher property taxes are unpleasant more often than
the reverse, increases in property values, and more
comfortable and convenient living, more than com
pensate. rEFEAT of annexation would be a set-back to ord
erly progress of our fast-growing area. But it
would be a set-back only; not a stop.
We are bound to grow. Let us hope we can do so
in an orderly manner, with as little bitterness and re
crimination as possible. E.A.

Matter of
THE ZWICKY CASE
Washington The Department
of Defense has now suspended
the security clearance of Dr.
Fritz Zwicky,
P r o f e ssor of
Astrophysics at
the California
I n s t i t ute of
Technology.
The security
of the United
States has been
t r i umphantly
s a f e guarded,
by depriv i n g
the United
Joseph Alsop States of the
services of one of the world
leaders in the vital fields of as
trophysics and rockets propul
sion. Thus Dr. Zwicky's suspen
sion again raises the question
whether the so-called security
program is not really an inse
curity program.
This is not a new question, of
course; but it is a much more
acute question than most people
suppose. To name one other
really lurid example, the eager
flatfeet came within a hairs
breath of lifting the security
clearance of the President's per
sonal scientific adviser, the great
president of Cal Tech, Dr. Lee
DuBridge. The decision to . de
prive Dr. DuBridge of clearance
was in fact tentatively made in
the Pentagon some months ago.
rpHE charges against Dr. Du-
Bridge were the usual insub
stantial, unsupported, poison pen
letter stuff. But the flatfeet
might have had their way, if the
Assistant Secretary of Defense
in charge of research and de
velopment, Donald Quarles, had
not grimly warned that every
other scientist would automatic
ally leave the government serv
ice along with Dr. DuBridge.
The idiotic harassment of Dr.
DuBridge, the shocking injustice
done to Dr. J. Robert Oppen
heimer, the suspension of Dr.
Zwicky", from what the flatfeet
like to call a pattern.
In the case of Dr. Zwicky, his
Swiss citizenship seems to be
the main charge against him. In
giving notice of the suspension
of Dr. Zwicky's clearance, the
Defense Department flatfeet in
dicated that the case would be
instantly re-opened if the astro
physicist would just take out his
American first papers. Dr.
Zwicky, meanwhile, has an ex
tremely cogent reason for not
requesting American citizenship,
which he expressed to this re
porter with some vigor by tele
phone from the West Coast. -
"I would apply for Ameri
can citizenship tomorrow," he
said, "if you did not now have
two classes of citizens. If you
are a naturalized citizen, you
are a second class citizen. My
friend Prof. Herman Weyl, the
great mathematician, became an
American citizen without study
ing the class rules. So his citizen
ship was taken f way because he
went to Zurich to lecture, and
stayed abroad too long. If I am
more free as a Swiss than as an
American, I stay Swiss."
Such, then, is the nature of
the deadlock between the Amer
ican government and Dr.
Zwicky. From" the viewpoint of
the national interest, this dead
lock is a rather serious matter.
A DEADLY, unseen race is now
going on between this coun
try and the Soviet Union, to get
there first with the best guided
missiles. In winning this race,
and especially in the develop
ment of the crucial missiles of
intercontinental range, no fields
of knowledge are more impor
tant than astrophysics and
rocket propulsion. And Dr.
Zwicky is not only one of the
tiny group of world leaders in
these abstruse fields; he has also
proved his value to the govern
ment by important services al
ready rendered.
His contributions to defense
projects began in 1943, when
he organized the research depart
ment of the Aerojet Corporation,
the largest American company
exclusively engaged in rocket
development and manufacture.
Most rocket projects are still
classified, so that no results of
Dr. Zwicky's work can be point
ed to except the jet assisted take
off device that was so important
to our carrier aviation in the last
war. But Aerojet officials state
that Dr. Zwicky's contributions
have been "very great," and he
was formally classified as an "es
sential" scientist until his clear
ance was suspended.
--
BUT, of course, Adm. Lewis L.
Strauss established the rule
in the Oppenheimer case that
neither past services nor present
usefulness are to be considered
in weighing the "security" of
our public servants. Of course,
the dangerous old American
habit of welcoming men of
learning to these shores has been
properly abandoned. Of course,
Gen. Leslie Groves and the other
leaders of the Manhattan Dis
trict Project, who used scores
of foreign scientists to make the
atomic bomb, were nothing but
a lot of pinkos who were def
initely soft on the great security
issue. "
To be sure, as Gen. Groves
has testified, America would
never, have been first with the
atomic bomb if Dr. Niels Bohr
and all the other foreigners had
not joined the project. To be
sure, the research and develop
ment chiefs of the Defense De
Fact By Joseph Alsop
partment are now engaged in a
rather aesperate exiort to re
cruit foreign scientists for work
in this country. But practical
considerations must be. forgot
ten, and America's pToudest tra
ditions must naturally be tram
pled upon, when the thing at
stake is this wonderful new se
curity of ours.

I suppose you recaU Molo

so on.
In San Francisco this morning,
our man Dulles replies to Molo

"To bring the cold war to an
end, seven points are not needed.
ONE is sufficient. The ONE I
mean is to STOP USING FORCE
AGAINST OTHER COUNTRIES
AND TO STOP SUPPORTING
SUBVERSION."

THAT is to say, if Russia will

2. Quit firing up her stooges to
start wars of conquest (red Chi

overthrow our free government
and set up a communist dictator
ship in its place
The cold war will COME TO
AN END and the world will
stand at t)ie threshold of a beau
tiful and wonderful period of
PEACE.
PRETTY good, what?
In the pinches, this man
Dulles has quite a little on the
ball.
a e
fUT let's change the subject
and get closer home.
In its edition of yesterday, the
accurate and well informed
Wall Street Journal carries a
front-page story from Bogalusa,
Louisiana, about the fabulous
growth of the pulp and paper
products industry in the South
It says:
"Twenty six of the nation's
51 kraft (pulp and paper) mills
are located in the South. Among
the biggest of these is Gaylord
Container Corporation's Bogalu
sa plant, which sprawls over
six city blocks and. employs
3300 persons in this town of
19,000.
Gaylord's mill uses Southern
pine from the 122,000 acre forest
that surrounds Bogalusa."
122,000 ' acres of Southern
" (quite generally known as lob-
-lolly) pine! '
But is looks like a woodlot
when compared with the MIL
LIONS OF ACRES of jackpine
in Southern Oregon and North
ern California.
e
THE Wall Street Journal's
A story goes on:
Why the Souths meteoric
rise?
"We had the materials and the
markets," says Peter F. Watzek,
president of Crossett Co. "The
rapid growth of Southern pine
lies back of a lot of this pulp
and paper expansion in the
South," asserts Philip P. Lynch
of Brown Paper Mill Company,
of Monroe, Louisiana. "It grows
into pulpwood in 20 to 40 years.
That's about twice as fast as
other species in colder climates."
.
THERE is as yet little EXACT
information about jackpine,
because ever since the West was
first settled it has been regarded
as a nuisance tree, worse than
useless because it has cluttered
ground that might be more
profitably used for other pur
poses. It is only within the past
half dozen years anybody in the
West has paid any attention to
it.
But
Competent and well-informed
opinion among practical forest
ers who have had occasion to
watch jackpine closely is that
it wUl grow a crop of pulpwood
about every two years.
rpHE Journal's story continues:
- According to Mr. Young, of
the Gaylord Container Corps., of
Bogalusa, "the quick growing
Southern pine also lends itself
to the kraft, or so-called un
bleached sulphate process of
pulping wood, because of its
LONG FIBERS. For this reason,
it makes a stronger pulp."
WELL
" The fiber of jackpine is as
long as the fiber of the Southern
(loblolly) pine.
IN its jackpine forests re
garded for a century as worth
less Southern Oregon has a
perpetual source of raw material
out of which an important in
dustry can be built here.
Paste that in your hat.

Russians Sa id Trying
To Sabotage Meeting
Of Biq 4 at Geneva
By CHARLES McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Soviet Russia is trying to
sabotage the United Nations con
ference on President Eisenhow
er's atoms-for-peace plan.
The U.N. meeting is to be
held in Geneva, Switzerland,
August 8 to August 20. Sixty na
tions are to attend.
Now it has been announced
that the Academy of Sciences of
the Soviet Union has invited sci
entists of 41 countries to attend
a special five-day meeting on
nuclear energy in Moscow, start
ing July 1.
There can be no doubt, of
course, that the meeting was
arranged by the Soviet govern
ment. Nor can there be any
doubt that its aim is to take
the edge off the Geneva Confer
ence. A Fire-Day Treat
Scientists who attend the Mos
cow meeting are sure to be treat
ed to five days of speeches in
tended to show that Russia leads
the world in plans to utilize
nuclear energy for peaceful pur- j
poses.
Most likely the Soviet govern
ment will take the opportunity
to make some big announcement
of its atoms-for-peace plans. It
may even elect to unveil some
of its developments in that field.
This is indicated especially as
it appears that the Moscow meet
ing was decided upon rather sud-

Security Setup Due
For Trouble; Survey
May Be Ordered Soon
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The
Eisenhower administration's em
ployee loyalty or internal secur
ity setup is in for some bad
trouble. . . - .
The only matter in real doubt
today is whether President Eis
enhower will wait for Congress
to order a survey, or order it
himself. A survey resolution
sponsored by Democrats but
with substantial Republican sup
port was on the Senate calendar
for today and expected to pass.
A similar resolution is coming
along in the House.
They would require the crea
tion of a bipartisan survey com
mission to which Mr. Eisenhow
er, Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon and Speaker Sam Ray
burn (D-Tex.), each would name
two Republicans and two Dem
ocrats. The President has been advis
ed that a commission inquiry is
assured one way or another.
There is some feeling within
the administration that it would
be good politics for Mr. Eisen
hower to bring it about instead
of waiting for Congress.
Winning Campaign Issue
Democrats have been count
ing heavily on the administra
tion's internal security policy
as a winning campaign issue in
next year's presidential election.
There has been a considerable
newspaper and radio campaign
against the security program and
some of the persons connected
with it. The prime individual
target has been Scott McLeod,
State department security chief.
The administration doubtless
would ,want to avoid public
hearings on so controversial an
issue during a campaign year.
One way to assure that the in
vestigation would be secret until
a report was published would
be for the President to establish
the commission and fix the
ground rules.
Loyalty investigations and fir
ings came under bruising Dem
ocratic attack last winter. Ag
ricultural Secretary Ezra Ben
son was badly mauled in the
loyalty dispute involving Wolf
Ledejinsky, a veteran govern
ment agricultural expert who
was discharged on security
denly.
Originally, the Russians ' had
invited Japan, . India, Burma,
Communist China and the , So
viet satelliae countries to the
conference.
Last Tuesday, the Moscow
Radio said that it had bejen de
cided "a tew days ago to invite
delegates from the other coun
tries. U.S. and Dutch Decline
The Russian invitations were
sent to academies of science in
the countries concerned, not to
governments.
The short notice given is
likely to keep a number of scien
tists from attending the Moscow
meeting. The American Acad
emy of Sciences and the Royal
Danish Academy of Sciences and
Letters already have declined to
attend. Both these societies said
they were too busy preparing
for the Geneva meeting.
Nevertheless, Russia is pretty
sure to get some propaganda
value out of the Moscow confer
ence.
Despite Russian propaganda.
there is every reason to believe
that the United States leads the
.world in plans to utilize nuclear
energy for peaceful as well as
warlike purposes.

Democrats demanded reform
to obtain uniform standards so

was proposed, also, that a single

making each department respon

that there be searching investi

retary John Foster Dulles in
the Ladejinsky case.
Last week Benson backed
down a bit, conceding he had
been too severe on Ladejinsky.
Having rejected Benson's in
quiry suggestion last winter, Mr.
Eisenhower now must make a
substantial political ; decision:
Whether to order the investiga

it. Inquiry assuredly would ob
