Our eyes were opened to this the other day when a representative of the League of Women Voters of Medford brought to the office the results of a survey which members of the league completed this year. It is part, of a nation-wide program to obtain local opinions on the tariff question, competitive imports, government price support programs, and related mat ters. THE interviews conducted by league members brought out the fact that- considerable amounts of foreign-produced goods are consumed here, includ ing products of Holland, Japan, Canada, Sweden, Mexico. Argentina, South Africa, Chile, the Philip pines, Cuba, Germany and China. Some of the items are in direct competition to the products of local producers, few of whom are exporters in any major way. .... . Despite this, however, when asked "Do you be lieve the U.S. should tiy to expand or contract its trade with other nations?" 13 of the 15 favored ex pansion. Three cited lower tariffs as a goal to be de sired, and three others advocated free world trade. H ERE are some other comments on the same ques tion : "Other countries are supposed to have cheaper labor and unfair competition. So do we in some parts of the country." "Expanding (world trade) would be a move in the right direction toward a higher standard of living throughout the world," and could be achieved through lower tariffs, better protection of U. S. investments in foreign countries, and more technical and foreign assistance. "Trade barriers should be maintained where foreign competition would impair de velopment of industries necessary to our national defense." "Free world trade is essential. More aggressive action is needed on our part." , "Expand as much as possible but with protection for do mestic industries." "THE businessmen questioned also seemed to be op- posed, in the main, to the federal government's agricultural price support program. Not one of the 12 answers to the question, "What is your opinion of the price-support program of the government?" gave it unqualified support, and the majority was opposed. Both farmers interviewed were opposed, and two others were opposed without qualification. Other answers were: It (the price support program) should be discontinued "as rapidly as possible without disrupting the national econ omy." "Justified only to prevent catastrophe, but never for prof it." "Necessary, but needs considerable revision." "Definitely not in favor." "Against them (supports) unless imperative." "Considerable left to be desired." "Opposed, but feel something of that nature necessary at - the present time." "Inequitable and unfair." THESE views may or may not be typical of those r-P rMifiV nccm ntt o-n1 formove rronnrolltr flirmiorTi mit". Jackson county. But they are provocative and interesting, and we'd like to give the league a pat on the back for the job it has done in compiling the report. E.A. Fewer Murders Did you know the homicide rate is down? Neither did we until advised of this fact by the information service of one of the major life insurance companies. The number of murders in the United States,' per capita, "has fallen to an all-time low level," it said, despite reported increases in major crimes. . IN THE depression year of 1934, the murder rate was 1 5.8 for each 100,000 of population. Last year it had dropped to 1.9 per 100,000. The downward trend was interrupted only twice during the 20-year period, once immediately after World War II, and another, small er jump right after the end of the Korean war. The relative frequency of homicide is highest in the South and lowest in New England. i But some 7,500 persons are murdered each year, todav, and the rate among the white population of the U.S. is more than twice the rate in Canada and Australia, about three times that in Scotland, and about six times that of England, Wales and Ireland. WE suspect that the general level of prosperity in the nation at present, and the preoccupation with other matters during the war years, has contributed to the decrease in murders. But why our rate should be so much higher than that of other English-speaking nations is something we can't answer. E.A. Klamath Reservation Klamath Falls (U.PJ The final draft of plans of specifica tions for inventory and ap praisal of the Klamath Indian Reservation has been com pleted, and win be forwarded for approval to Secretary of In terior Douglas McKay.

(Special to Mail Tribune) According to sta tistics, one out of every ten U.S. citizens will sometime be in a mental hospital. About one-half of our hospi tal beds are at present occu pied by such cases. Probab ly every read er of this col Boger W. Babtom umn has some relative or friend so afflicted. Most doctors believe that some drug may be discovered to cure mental disorders. For years, India's doctors have made a drug from "snakeroot." Now doctors are experimenting with a drug called L.S.D. This is made from a fungus which grows upon rye. I understand it is related to er got, which many women have depended upon' for years. Perhaps many not now in hos pitals should take chlorproma zine, reserpine, or some other tranquillizer (these drugs are to be taken only on the advice of a physician), because we are all unbalanced on some one or more subjects! With many people it is money, with others it is sex. with others it is abnormal am bition, or pride, or fear. If we all obeyed the Tenth Command ment (Exodus 20:17). there sure ly would be fewer "break downs." The fact is that those who are unbalanced about a majority of things, or about the more unpopular thines. are called insane! Gravity May Be Factor In Causing Unbalance A few days sDent bv me at the Gravity Research Founda tion at New Boston, N. H., makes me wonder if gravity may be a factor in causing people to be vnbalanced. Certainly if I were considered so affiiVteri change the gravity pull on my brain. Some brains are surelv more sensitive to gravity than me Drams of others. Here is an unsolved question Communications Letter to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circum stances the use ot a Den name or initial for publication is permis tible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with an eye to clarification and condensa tion Letters submitted for publica tion must not exceed 400 words. How To "Beat" The S.P. To the Editor: The alternate but brighter side of the picture re the Sou-Pac termination is perhaps not being given its de served publicity and this is an effort to do so, with an en deavor to submit an alternate solution to your Rogue Valley traveling public depending upon transportation other than their own. The different angles enumerated are' as follows: (1) The electorate of the State can be congratulated upon learn ing, even at this late date after all these years of tax-paying towards PUC operation, that we jest ain't got nuthin'. (2) The unfavorable court de cision handed down Monday by Judge Sloper who indicated that final determination rested upon the outcome of the similar case of Portland-Traction well, lay your own odds on that one. (3) But it is surprising to find that out of the many discussions overheard, so very little con sideration has been given to al ternative transportation existin? yet and that has been possible all along. This writer has used it regularly ever since his first trips on the 'galloping goose' and the long tedious 'sit still no smokes except bus stops' of the bus lines. Briefly it reads thuswise: Take a Trailway out of Med ford at 12:50 p.m. which reaches Klamath Falls at 3:20. An hour and a quarter later catch the "Shasta Daylight" which lands you in Portland at 11:30 p.m. This entails nine hours and twenty-five minutes of actual travel time and an overall ten hours and forty minutes from Medford to Portland. Your return trip is equally favorable. Leave Portland at 7:45 a.m. and arrive at KF at 2:19 p.m. There will be almost three and one-half hour layover to catch the bus out of KF at 5:50 which will reach Medford at 8:18 p.m. Actual travel time is nine hours and two minutes and you have been on the road only twelve hours and thirty three minutes enroute from Port land back home. The lay-over break at KF affords interesting diversions in this Southern Ore gon metropolis, too. (4) None of us love the Sou Pac one bit. And as long as pas senger service for each, any and every railroad in operation is an item 'in the red', think of all the kick ahead for you in piling up a still greater 'passenger per train-mile' deficit upon this bloated corporation each time you take the trip on this sug gested itinerary. The relaxation, club car facilities freedom to circulate about, roominess and all the other factors of train travel over bus service will make the extra fare of minor import ance. Wm. C. Hum Co. A VADC Camp White, Oregon which psychiatrists are asking: Why is it that some people can go to the edge of a high build ing without any discomfort or sense of danger, while other people are sorely tempted to jump off? Two persons cannot necessarily withstand the same gravity pull. When a person jumps out of a high window of a hotel is he truly insane or merely exposing an abnormally sensitive brain needlessly to a dangerous gravity pull? Effect of Moon On Brains Shown I find that the Gravity Foun dation has many evidences show ing the effect of the moon on the brains of hospital patients. There seems to be a correlation between "full" or 'no" moon periods and accidents, fires, and even crimes. Druggists wUl tell you that their sales pf sedative pills (such as phenobarbital) vary with the phases of the moon. Since the "full moon" can lift millions of tons of water to cause "high tides," it must have an effect on certain sentitive human brains, which consist mostly of nerve tissue and water. Why is it that vacations do some people so much good this time of year? Why do those who feel most in need of a vacation find it necessary to "take a trip somewhere?" The answer may be that they need a change in tneir gravity pull. Taking a trip to some different place may be for them like coming down to the ground from the roof of a high building. Perhaps your brain is strong enough so that you can take your vacation rest ing at home; but perhaps not. Importance of Religion Seen in Mental Upsets Personally, I believe that the main reason for the present increase in mental upsets, heart and other troubles, is the de crease in Sunday observance, family prayers, and practicing the Golden Rule. Newspapers tell how church "attendance" is increasing; but this is mainly a symptom of tension from or a reaction of careless living. It should help prevent nervous breakdowns, but is no cure of it self. I forecast that when doctors finish their studies of insanity, heart diseases, aching limbs, ulcers, and many other ailments they will conclude that Jesus is truly entitled to be called "The Great Physician." Instead of taking pills, it may do our health more good to sit quietly alone for half an hour a few days each week in an "Open Church.',' For detailed free -in formation thereon, address Open- Church Association, 58 Middle Street, at Gloucester, Mass., where I -am now enjoying my vacation.

Swartz Van Dyke & Dellenback Attorney! for Executor r n -i i ill hi mmm Hainan Who am I? Lord of what I survey, I turn my back upon my foes during my leisurely nighttime strolls. My claws are nonretractable. Al though related to the badger, wolverine, otter, I am much more strikingly colored some say I'm one of the handsomest ani mals in the field. Found throughout settled 812 North America, I have an actual liking for humans and their hab itations. In fact, I am one of the few animals of value whose lot has been improved by the com ing of Europeans. Men's friend, I destroy such pests as cutworms, yellowjack ets, hornets, snakes, mice but I must confess to an occasional liking for eggs and birds. Although almost voiceless when angry, I do click my teeth, growl and sometimes hiss. My body is thickest, with rather short legs, and my soles are nearly naked. My head is com paratively small, my tail rather large. Males and females in my species are about the same size. During winters, a group of 12 or so of us may sleep fitfully i a den which has been lined with dry leaves and grass. At birth,, my young are wrin kled, blind, hairless and helpless. Within three weeks their eyes open; within two more, they are following their mother in single file, the little procession some times stretching 20 feet. Their defensive powers come into full flower when four or five months old. Although closely related to the bloodthirsty mink, much of my food is vegetable. Part of my food goes toward making a po tent chemical whose base is used as a fixative in valuable per fumes, and I use it in my de fense. I am almost free of natural enemies, and once my chemical producing glands are removed, I make a charming pet, being more gentle and responsive than a domestic cat. My young can be easily tamed, even housebroken. Besides, we keep a house free of rodents. Which am 1: 1. Skunk; 2. Musk rat; 3. Wildcat; 4. Cinnamon bear; 5. Weasel? I am: 1, A Skunk.

Be "Damned" During the last session of the legislature the "Friendly" South ern Pacific objected to testi mony in a barge freight rate hearing that they (the railroad) raised or lowered the rates to force competition out of busi ness. They maintained they were too rigorously controlled by the Public Utilities Commission to do so. Now, when they want to stop running a train and the PUC tells them they can't do it, they go ahead and do it anyway. Seems as if they use PUC con trol when it suits them and ig nore it when they want to. Corvallis Gazette Times.

Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington (U.R) Tiny Tim Hovey, the latest Hollywood "iind" in the young actor field, has what my kid would like on one hand but wouldn't stand for on the other. The nine-year-old blond with the coy blue eyes, makes himself $600 a week. But from his Herman Nichol mom and pop. Mr. and Mrs. James A. Hovey he gets 50 cents a week spending money. And there is a string at tached to the latter. "Every time Tim is bad there is a demerit," his mom, Anita Hovey said, "and that is most of the time. Right; now he owes me $5 for the last 10 days. He runs around broke most of the time." Tim is very small for his years. He stretches only three feet, 10 inches, and weighs only 60 pounds. While his mother was talking about his expense ac count, he was busy lousing up a press luncheon and going deep er in debt. He's An Imp .

Or so it seems. While an expectant mother Rosemary Clooney made a recording of the songs "Hey There" and "This Ole House," which sold over 2,000, 000 copies. Jo Stafford, while an ticipating, made a recording of "Jambalaya" that sold over 1, 000,000 copies. The belief is thst being an expectant mother in spires a woman to sing with more feeling than ordinarily. So if you know a blessed event advise her to make all the re cordings she can now. I don't know how this works for ex pectant fathers but I will check. Twins Those whose husbands are of Irish descent are most likely to give birth to twins. So the rec ords reveal. After that it is the girls with Swedish husbands. In cidentally, Mrs. Signe Jansson of Orebro, Sweden, recently gave birth to twins three times in three years. Well Dressed Man Who was the best dressed President of the United States? President Eisenhower may achieve that distinction. He is becoming a bit of a style setter. Experts on the subject of what the well dressed man should feature have taken much notice of the fact that President Eisen hower is abandoning the double breasted suit. He has ordered five suits, all single breasted, with three buttons. Sidelights e A much overworked expres sion that should be given a long rest or retired permanently is: "How do you like that?"

Tim is all boy, and a likeable one, too. Universal-International Pictures has billecP him as another Jackie Coogan. That may be. At any rate, little Tim is under contract and already has appeared in a picture called "The Private War of Major Ben son." Tim was supposed to be the imp in the film, and I guess he was. But during the houc and a half I spent with him he was both imp and actor. First he wanted to take the bucket of fruit from the waiter and place it on the table. The waiter wasn't willing, but what can a white-coat do in front of young rank? Tini did a pretty fine job of spilling pears, bananas and or anges and other things the re porters didn't cotton to anyhow. He even offered to peel a grape or two. He wanted to show me his new tank. It was, he said, a model of a real big one. He would one day, he added, grow up to drive one. His mother said he would not. And Tim said he would, too. And there went another nickel off the al lowance. 'Uncle Owlhead' ' "1 would like to tell you something about myself," he said to me. "I have in me half Ger man, half English, half Irish, some Scotch and the most part American. Add that up. And what is your nickname?" I fell for that one and said that I once was known in select circles as "Owlhead." "Okay Uncle Owlhead," said the sprout. About that time along came Mellner Streets, a pro in the picture taking o business, who works for the Washington Daily News. Tim, who doesn't even own a Brownie, took over, wrong lights. Wrong angle. He finally stoDDed Streets . with: "How much do you make a week?" Streets already had ' neara what kid actors make, 99 ne held his tongue. "Know what, Uncle JJwi- head?" tlie unstart said. "That picture man's nickname is ?Pud, din.' I wormed it out of f$m.' I checked and so it is. NOW IS THE TIME to start building an insured savings account with us.
