For Foreign Trade
For no good reason, we have always rather assum
ed that the business and agricultural community of
Medford and the Rogue Valley was inclined toward
"protectionism in foreign
It comes, therefore, as
that this is not necessarily
ly is not.
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

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.

Babson and Mental Health
By ROGER W. BADSON
Glouchester, Mass. (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.

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.,

vacation.

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.

Editorial Comment
The P.V.C. 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.

a blank stare.
Please Note
Feminine vocalists specializ
ing in popular song recordings
sing better when expectant
mothers. 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.

Perhaps it Is understandable
that a child in hiso position
should become a little spoiled.
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.
