MAIL TRIBUNE
Billion Dollar Business
Three travel writers from metropolitan news
papers visited southern Oregon last week. Their com
ments indicated that they were favorably impressed
with what we have to offer tourists, and that they-
would write about our attractions, as well as those of
other areas, for their considerable circulations.
The tour was sponsored by the Pacific Northwest
Travel Association, in cooperation with local cham
bers of commerce.
It is' easier to understand why the writers are in
vited each year, in the hope they will describe the
areas they visit, when it is considered how important
tourist trade is to our state and to the Pacific North
west. HE July edition of the Oregon Business Review,
vhich is published by the bureau of business re
search, school of business administration, University
of Oregon, has an article entitled "Tourism in Pacific
Northwest A Billion Dollar Business."
One quotation from it explains who benefits, and
why:
The impact of tourist expenditures is felt directly by
the retail and service trades. Indirectly, its influence is felt
in the wholesale, manufacturing and agricultural sectors of
our economy. In many areas, it is a leading source of em
ployment. Sales and gasoline taxes aid state and local gov
ernments, as do the real and personal property taxes paid
by retailers.
Rural areas benefit as the tourist passes through. The
tourist is a potential new resident and a potential investor.
This is particularly true for a young, growing area such as
the Pacific Northwest. It has been effectively pointed out
how important are climate, mountains, beaches, hunting,
fishing and other amenities to decision-making regarding
migration to a new area, plant location, and so on.
THE article breaks down
lars from Northwest tourists this way : $290,000,000
to restaurants, $210,000,000
ses, $200,000,000 to hotels, motels and tourist homes,
$180,000,000 to retail stores, $70,000,0000 to theaters
and other amusements, and $50,000,000 for miscel
laneous purchases.
While the tourists come from all over the world,
it is estimated that 4 out of 10 are from the Northwest,
who know better than anyone else what good vaca
tion spots there are here.
IT IS to reach the others, and to increase their num
bers, that Oregon advertises in national magazines,
that other promotions are put on, and that the annual
travel writers' tour is held.
Considering the size of the potential income, and
its economic importance, the outlay seems i modest
enough. E.A.
Space
Last week a Page 1 headline in the Mail Tribune
said :
"Plan Revealed To Launch
Small Unmanned Satellites." .
With the smug sort of self-satisfaction which ac
companies an opportunity to say "I told you so," we
recalled that 11 days previously we had discussed the
possibilities of space travel, and had remarked :
"The first leap upward from the earth will be the
big one, and will furnish the lessons needed to put
space ships into the void of the solar system."
"THE United Press story which announced the plan
for the satellite has been followed by a rash of
speculative stories, quoting scientists and rocket ex
perts, space-medicine experts and anyone who might
throw a little more light on the project which, to
science-fiction fans and junior spacemen, is old stuff.
The first satellite story concluded by saying, "The
scientists agreed, too, that information gained in the
experiment would be of definite value in the ultimate
scientific goal of human travel in outer space."
Subsequent stories have quoted authorities as
speculating that man may well set foot on the moon
before the turn of the century.
DUT no matter how fast the progress of space trav
el within the solar system (the planets surround
ing our sun) , some new and as-yet unguessed-of meth
od of propulsion will be needed before man can head
for the stars.
The nearest star other, than our own sun is Alpha
Centauri, which is some 4.3 light years (and not 40 as
it was incorrectly listed in the earlier editorial). By
even the fastest rocket which men can make under
known or even speculative methods, it would take
years of constant space travel to reach even the near
er stars. Men who were young at the start of the voy
age would be greybeards by arrival even if space
ships were able to travel at any considerable fraction
of the speed of light, which is about 669,600,000 miles
per hour. (Our own sun is about 93,000,000 miles
away approximately seven light minutes).
CPEEDS of this order are far, far. in the future, if
they are possible at all. (Some scientists believe
that man will never be able to approach the speed of
light).
But the fact that man can even dream of reach
ing the stars is a long step upward from the time man
invented the wheel, or first used fire his two great
est innovations. The race is young, only some 50,000
or so years, and his material progress has been rapid
in recent years even sensational.
No one can know wThat
would care to place a hard and fast limit on specula
tion. E.A.

Matter of
(Editor's Note: This Is the first of
a series of reports summing up
Stewart Alsop's experiences In the
Soviet Union, which he brought
out with him from Moscow.)
RUSSIA IN RETROSPECT I
Moscow Almost as soon as
the Westerner arrives in Kussia,
he begins to feel an aching
thirst to leave
it. This is not
a purely sub
jective r e a c
tion. It is uni
versal, even
among West
erners who
find in Russia
a fascination
they can find
nowhere else
And it is
strange that
there should
Stewart Alsop
be this thirst.
For there are many wonder
ful things in the Soviet Union.
There is the juicy Russian bread
and the fresh Russian butter,
the best butter in the world,
served in great dollops, at least
to foreign visitors. There is the
incomparable ballet; and the
hermitage in Leningrad, with
its marvelous collection of Rem
brandts and French moderns;
and the Kremlin itself, gay and
beautiful in its coat of yellow
paint. There are also, it must
be said, the genuine achieve
ments of the regime, in rebuild
ing a devastated land.
Finally, there are Russian
people. As long as they are
not officials and as long as they
are not talking politics, they are
as nice a people as you could
find anywhere. They are amaz
ingly courteous and kind, and
at the same time they are a
little mad, but mad in an enter
taining and un-evil way, like
characters in a Russian novel.
Altogether, the universal phe
nomenon of the thirst to leave
Russia is very difficult to under
stand. To begin to understand
it is to begin to understand
something about the Soviet Un
ion itself.
Partly, of course, the thirst
to leave derives from the simple
fact that the Soviet Union is a
police state. One old Russian
hand says that there is not
enough oxygen in the air here,
which conveys some notion of
the sense of suffocation induced
by the all-pervading power of
the state.
VET for the foreigner in the
Soviet Union, there is no
sense of personal danger at all.
In these days, too, the Russian
people themselves undoubtedly
have a greater sense of personal
security than they have had in
many years. The fact that Rus
sia is a police state is by no
means the whole explanation of
the thirst to leave this country,
There are other bits and
pieces of the explanation. There
is the simple almost universal
ugliness, for example. Private
taste, of course, does not exist
in the Soviet Union; not in the
way we know it. The official
taste is both atrocious and end
lessly repeated, whether in the
corrupt Corinthian style of Rus
sian public architecture or in
the nightmarish summer prints
supplied to the unfortunate Rus
sian ladies.
Aside from the Ballet and
some theater and music, what
passes for art or literature in
the Soviet Union is as much
cut to a government approved
pattern as the ladies' prints. It
is utterly mysterious that so
many Western intellectuals and
artists should find, at a dis
tance, a peculiar attraction in
this uniform and ugly place. .
Added to the ugliness, there
is also the odd humorless stuffi
ness of life here. Take the
story of the Austrian Ambassa
dor and his dog. The ambassa
dor recently applied through
the Foreign Office for a suitable
mate for his female cocker span
iel. There was a long delay,
and when the ambassador in
quired as to its cause, he was
solemnly informed that it was
difficult to find a Soviet citizen
who owned a cocker spaniel and
who had equal rank to an am
bassador. Surely there has never
been a society more pompously
rank-conscious and class-conscious.
Then there is the sense of
isolation which all foreigners
feel here. Foreigners are cut
off from normal contact with
Russians not only by the state
and the language barrier but by
the ideological Iron Curtain. It
is almost impossible to have a
serious political conversation
with a Russian. It is only pos
sible to listen to a gramophone
recording. And the extent to
which the gramophone record
ing is genuinely believed by the
ordinary Russian is greatly un
derestimated m the West.
"TONALLY, there is the strange-
ly oppressive leeiing x n a i
there is something here you do
not really understand, and can
never understand. This feeling
is shared by the most experienc
ed Westerners, including the
able ambassadors who , brilliant
ly represent the three major
Western powers here.
The sense of something utter
ly alien and wholly incompre
hensible is everywhere in the
Soviet Union, whether on a col
lective farm or in the pages of
"Pravda." But this reporter felt
it most strongly on a visit to
the tomb of Lenin and Stalin.
It is a macabre experience to
see the waxy, powerful faces of
Fact
Stewart Alsop
the old revolutionary and the
ruthless dictator preserved un
der glass in the chilly under
ground dampness, while the
Russians shuffle by in an unend
ing line, staring silently at their
dead masters. If you look
closely, you can see that the
bodies of both men are false-
only the heads and hands, sev
ered from the bodies, have been
preserved. Here, surely, is a
phenomenon which is not only
macabre but also incomprehen
sible to the Western mind.
To be sure, corpse-worship is
no new thing in this country. In
the ancient underground cata
combs of Kiev, for example, the
mouldering remains of medieval
religious leaders are on display,
larking only an occasional
finger yanked off by the devout.
But this same ancient fanati
cism wedded to a rigid and vio
lent global political doctrine is
something new, and something
frightening. To the Western
mind it may be beyond under
standing, but it is to be feared
as instinctively as a bird fears
a cat. Perhaps that is the most
important reason for the aching
thirst to leave this country that
Westerners feel.

Mrs. Schmidt-Fine
Living Alone To
Ponder Decision
Nevada City, Calif. (U.R)
Mrs. Una Schmidt-Fine went off
to live by herself today until she
can decide which husband she
would rather live with.
Mrs. Schmidt, 20, took her
two-year-old son to an undis
closed location after talking to
her first husband, Daniel
Schmidt, 22, in Tokyo. Schmidt
is one of 11 American airmen
returning home from captivity
in Red China.
Believed Best
She decided to live apart from
her secoad husband, Alford Fine,
21, until she can straighten out
the marital tangle she got into
when she married Fine in the
belief Schmidt was killed in
Korea. -
Her attorney, Harold Berliner
said:
"Una and Al believe it is best
for all concerned that they live
separate and apart until such
time as their problem is solved.
In fairness to airman Schmidt,
there will be no further an
nouncement until he returns and
has had an opportunity to dis
cuss the entire matter."
Whereabouts Withheld
Berliner refused to disclose
the whereabouts of Una and her
son, nor what she and Schmidt
talked about during their trans
pacific call.
In Tokyo, Schmidt likewise
refused to tell what he had said
to his wife. He already has made
it clear that as far as he is con
cerned, the whole affair is no
one else's business.
I he Kedding, cant., airman
talked to his wife from the Air
Force hospital at Tachikawa Air
Base, where he and his 10 com
panions were undergoing medi
cal examinations after their re
lease from captivity Thursday.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
, The Kremlin mystery deep
ens. Russian Premier Bulganin said
in Moscow that the aerial in
spection phase of President Eis
enhower's peaceful coexistence
and armament reduction plan
was unworkable because of the
vast size of Russia and the United
States.
In a surprise reappearance be
fore the Soviet parliament, he
said his statement had been mis
understood and then added:
"Everything will TURN OUT
WELL."
Whereupon, the dispatches tell
us, the members of the Soviet
parliament cheered enthusiasti
cally. WHAT are we to think of it
all?
Let's put it this way:
Before we can have a peace
plan (including armament reduc
tion) that will work there will
have to be mutual confidence.
As of now, because of what
has happened in the past, we
have no confidence in Commun
ist Russia's peaceful intentions.
"DUT
IF the Russians will in the
future, over a sufficient period
of time, do the things that will
cause us to have confidence in
them, we CAN get together on a
plan for peace and armament re
duction. That's about the size of.it.
T ET'S get closer home:
The Portland city council has
passed by a four to one vote a
sweeping ordinance to ban ALL
mechanical amusement devices
that have an element of GAM
BLING. pORTLANDiS councilmen must
A have been reading the consti
tution of Oregon, which de
clares (Article XV; Sec. 4):
"LOTTERIES, and the sale of
lottery tickets, FOR ANY PUR
POSE WHATEVER, are PRO
HIBITED, and the legislative as
sembly shall PREVENT the same
by penal laws."
MEMBERS of Oregon city
councils (along with a wide
range of other public officials)
must take an oath to support the
constitution of the United States
and the constitution of the state
of Oregon.
It is a solemn oath, ending
with the pledge: "So help me
God."
One can imagine that a mem
ber of an Oregon city council,
reading the constitution of our
state and recalling the oath he
took when he assumed his office,
would be considerably disturbed
in his conscience every time he
looks money-paying (or mer
chandise-paying) slot machine of
any. description in the eye.
VyHAT is a lottery?.
weDsrer aetines it as "a
scheme for the distribution of
prizes by lot; especially such a
scheme in which lots, or chances,
are sold."
Put it to yourself this way:
When you put a coin in the slot
of a machine that offers a prize
(money or merchandise) you
BUY A CHANCE. I suppose that
when the founding fathers of
our state adopted our constitu
tion they thought of a "lottery"
as putting numbers in a hat.
But that was before the machine
age.
Logical reasoning must lead
to the conclusion that when you
put a coin in the slot of a ma
chine that offers a prize you are
BUYING A CHANCE.
rpHAT the constitution of Ore
gon forbids:
The constitution is the SU
PREME law of our state.
Public officials in Oregon (in
cluding city councilmen) take a
solemn oath to support Oregon's
constitution.

COFFEE PRICES DISCUSSED
Rio De Janeiro (U.R) The fi
nance ministers of Brazil and Co
lombia, the world's two largest
coffee producers were to meet

Editorial Comment
FLIER'S REACTION
Reports from Hong Kong on
the reactions of the eleven
American tliers released from
Chinese Communist prisons tell
how they reveled in the creature
comf orts. of the free world after
their rugged captivity.
They danced gaily in hot
showers, jumped and bounced
on the beds made of foam rub
ber mattresses and white per
cale sheets, commented ' on the
smell of the good soap with
which they lathered their faces.
Lustily eating steak, one of
them replied to a companion's
warning that he didn't care if he
did become sick "Nothing can
spoil this," he said.
These were the material things
which most of us take for grant
ed and of which the fliers were
openly appreciative after long
deprivation. One may be sure,
they equally appreciate the non
material blessings of the free
dom to which they have return
ed They will become used again
in a few days or weeks to soft
beds, good food and all the soap
and hot water they desire. They
are less likely to forget the
chains of the mind and the spirit
from which they nave been
freed. -
One cannot stuff oneself with
freedom, or bounce on it, or
lather one's face with it. But it
is a greater possession than
steak, soap and a clean bed.
This, we believe, the fliers know
much better than most of us.
