MAIL TRIBUNE "Happy In the case of ex-President Hoover who cele brated his 81st birthday here in Oregon a few days ago, the Law of Compensation seemed to work over time. For Mr. Hoover was one of the most unpopular single term and badly defeated Presidents in recent histoiy yet he has lived to become one of the most highly regarded and highly respected "elder states men" in the Republican party, and to enjoy the rare privilege in his declining years of having a large por tion of his party come around to his view of American statesmanship and destiny. THIS is particularly true regarding the New and Fair Deal policies. Although none of the Roosevelt pro gram of social betterment has to date been repealed by the Republicans and probably never will be when Mr. Hoover condemned the ideals of his presi dential successor, as a lot of "fuzzy-minded totalitari anism," he received enthusiastic applause, and un doubtedly faithfully echoed the sentiments of the GOP leadership. IN THE field of foreign policy Mr. Hoover is a con- firmed and unashamed isolationist. He would re peal the Marshall plan, eliminate all foreign aid, with draw all US troops from foreign posts, and m case 01 war in Europe or elsewhere, leave active US participa tionif any up to the air force alone. He is far from being alone in this view as far as his own party is concerned, but he is opposed by President Eisenhower, and one surmises that when they get together if they ever do public power and TVA will be the topic of conversation rather than for eign policy or E.C.A. 70R on public versus private power these two distin- guished Republicans do see eye-to-eye. In lact as President, Mr. Hoover vetoed the TVA bill and while he did not use the familiar term of "creeping social ism," that was his general idea then, and if he could have his way now he would turn all the public-power projects over to the Private Power combine, and the private bankers, with multiple projects on any nation al scale, and consequent lower prices for power, light and irrigation, out of the window forever. Well Mr. Hoover is entitled to his views. And as long as the Republicans remain in power those views will probably be the views of the government of the country. . The Democratic party on the other hand, as a whole, does oppose them. But this has not prevented many Democrats from paying their respects to Pres ident Hoover on his recent birthday anniversary, and wishing him in his private capacity, many happy re turns so long as political "returns" are not included. A ND now our 31st President once so discredited, un happy and embittered, is not only enjoying the best of health, party-wide popularity, but trout fishing on the McKenzie, and might before he returns to Cal ifornia even try his luck again on the Rogue. Being a loyal, if not a devout Quaker, undoubtedly our ex-President takes a breathing spell now and then to express sincere appreciation for his manifold bless ings. He should. Reviewing the past we can recall no President of the United States whose life story, all m all, covered so many useful, healthful and successful years and with such a happy ending. In fact his life as a whole has been in the best Horatio. Alger tradition, "from rags to riches" literally, not only in the material realm but now politically. R.W.R. Bumper Crop of Babies This isn't Spring. But evidences of "new life" are many. In fact we can't recall a time when a casual prom enade up or down the "Main Stem" of Medford gave such a striking evidence that the Mail Tribune will have to increase the normal space given to births, or offend a multitude of prospective parents. Well it's a good thing particularly in this fortunate country, where the supply of nourishment so exceeds the demand, that subsidies to the producers still have to be paid, to make up the slack in consumption. A NOTHER biological fact is apparent hereabouts, "namely a large proportion of the distaff side with "great expectations," are in their "teens." Or they look to be. And those who aren't must be in their early 20's. This means there will soon be not only a startling increase in the local birth rate, but an increase in grandmothers and grandfathers in the 40-age group. And a man in his 40's is today in his prime, al though few in that age bracket think so when they j" l. i. XT nrst get mere. CO what? J x Well we can't have our baby can't be born every 8 seconds in the USA as is claimed, without the present perplexing school prob lem becoming more and more difficult to solve at least properly and satisfactorily. And there is the unemployment problem also. Things look promising today but the flood-tide can't last forever. Sooner or later there, is bound to be an ebb. And when that comes with more mouths to feed and more hands to keep employed and more and more demands for free education at the expense of the taxpayers than ever before, things may not be as rosy as they appear today. However we do not wish to enter any sour note into this brief observation in the realm of increased productivity. Sufficient unto the day is the increased production thereof. R.W.R.

A new Matter of Fact b, RUSSIA IN RETROSPECT: IV Editor's note: This Is the fourth of a series of reports summing up Stew art Alsop's experiences in the Soviet Union, which he brought out with him from Moscow. London Has there been a real change In Soviet policy? Especially since Geneva, this question has been uppermost in almost everybody's mind. Some weeks spent in the Soviet Union suggest that the most obvious answer is also the most accurate that there has been a change that the change is perfectly real but that it does not go deep. This answer applied equally to Soviet foreign and domestic policy. Experienced Western ob servers believe that, at some point last spring, the Presidium reached a formal decision to take certain measures to reduce the danger, of war. It is very probable that the crisis in Asia first gave rise to this decision. Although there is no hard evidence to prove it, all Western observers in Moscow believe that the Soviet Union made a major effort to restrain the Chinese Communists from attacking the offshore islands last spring. At any rate, since then, it has become more and more clear that the Soviet lead ers genuinely do want to reduce the risk of war and to initiate an international breathing spell. But there is no informed West erner in Moscow who believes that the change in Soviet foreign policy goes deeper than that. Nobody believes for a moment that the Soviet leaders are ready to make the sort of basic changes in policy which a true world settlement would involve. XTOBODY believes that Mr. Molotov, for example, in his forthcoming meeting with West ern Foreign Ministers, will budge an inch from his established pos ition. The Soviets do not really want a general settlement ex cept strictly on their own terms What they really want and ex pect to get is a general accept ance, for the time being, of the status quo. But this, as far as it goes, is a real change, since it implies that the Soviets will make no violent moves, like the Berlin blockade or the Korean War, to upset the status quo The internal change is real also, as far as it goes. One measure of the internal change is a Moscow hit play called "The Wings," by Alexander Korni- chuk, a friend of Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev, In this play the heroine, whose husband was afraid to speak out for her when she was nabbed by Beria's secret police after the war, forgives him on the ground that the terror was too great to withstand. The play is, in fact, an outspoken denuncia tion of police terror in general, An officially approved denun ciation of police terror obviously means a perfectly real change in the Soviet system. Old Mos cow hands believe that Soviet citizens now have a greater sense of personal security than at any time since the mid-'30s. But now as then, the change does not real ly go deep. Fear is still there, below the surface. Russians love to talk to foreigners now, whereas a few years ago they would go to any lengths to avoid them. But a Russian is still careful never to give a foreigner his private ad dress or his telephone number. Above all, every Russian is care ful never to deviate from the of ficial line. Indeed, the way every Russian parrots every other Russian on all political matters was what most interested and depressed this reporter in the Soviet Union. Nor is this endless parroting in spired only by caution, although caution obviously plays its part. This reporter is deeply con vinced, after many talks with Russians, that the vast majority of them really believe in the mess of lies and alf-truths which they have been fed. , rFHIS is not really so surpris ing. Suppose, for example, that all Americans, as soon as they began to go to school, were told that all Russians had two heads. Suppose that any evi dence to the contrary was ruth lessly suppressed; and that it was dangerous even to be suspected of thinking that some Russians might have only one head. Then most Americans would go to their graves firmly convinced that all Russians had two heads. Thus it is surely not surpris ing that most Russians believe that John Foster Dulles started the Korean War on orders from Wall Street; or that the Ameri can capitalists own the Ameri can government body and soul, while the American workers live in impotent misery; or that all capitalists want war because war is profitable. As one Rus sian remarked simply to this re porter: "But of course, we be lieve what we have been taught." The extent to which the Rus sians believe what they have been taught is greatly underesti mated in the West. So is the political importance of this phe nomenon of mass delusion. Con sider one example. Most Ameri cans think of the Russian peace propaganda as strictly for ex port. Actually, a Russian is hardly ever out of sight or sound of the Russian word for peace PEACE TO THE WORLD is writ ten in huge letters on every empty wall. Stewart Alsop At first glance it might be supposed that this internal peace propaganda would weaken the position of the regime in case of war. The precise opposite is true. If the Kremlin ordered the Red Army to attack the West tomorrow, not one Soviet citi zen in a million would doubt for an instant that Russia had been the victim of ruthless capitalist aggression. And the genuine fury of the Soviet people against the "breakers of the peace" would greatly strengthen the regime for whatever was in store. The changes which have oc curred in Soviet external and internal policy since Stalin's death are welcome changes. But, despite smiles and picnic parties, it should never be forgotten for a moment that the Soviet sys tem is profoundly and inherently hostile to the West. Bar a basic change in the Soviet system, the West will invite certain disaster if it lets down its guard for an instant. There is one simple criterion of such a change. The Soviet system will really have changed when Soviet citizens begin hotly disputing the political views of each other and of their govern ment. There is nothing like a few weeks in the Soviet Union to restore meaning to that tired old word, freedom, or to show how wide and treacherous is the gulf between those who have it and those who do not. Copyright, 1955. New York Herald Tribune Inc. Today and By Walter ON THE DAYS TO COME The most reliable objective test of real, and not merely tactical, change in Soviet policy is not whether there is agree ment on this or that specific issue. It is whether the Soviet system is beginning to operate less s e c r e t ly. As long as the secrecy is Walter Uppmann main tained. the censorship and the restric tions on coming and going, there is no telling what is the purpose or the value of a specific concession or from a friendlier official attitude. They could in deed, as so many suspect, be meant to divert and confuse. As long as the territory is sealed and the people are locked up and hidden in darkness it is, not only possible but indeed neces sary to wonder whether the friendlier attitude is not the mask for some unpleasant sur prises. But if there is publicity, not total of course but sufficient, it becomes impossible to mount and to launch a formidable sur prise. In a country that is fairly open no one can hide a mobiliza tion, and without a mobilization a sneak attack could not be at tempted. By this test we have made genuine progress since the spring of the year. Both Moscow and Washington have now based their armament proposals on the same principle: that there should be publicity which makes im possible a surprise. The Soviets propose to arrange the publicity by permitting inspection at the key points of a mobilization The President, while accepting this proposal in principle, has proposed the added device of ex- chaneins blueDrints and of aerial reconnaisance. This is progress. But if noth ing else were nappening, we would still be in a position of waiting to see whether these verbal formulas can be tran- lated into agreements and then administered. But something else is happening. And it all points in the same direction. It points toward less mystery about the Soviet government and less secrecy in the Soviet Union. For as freedom of travel and circula tion increase, there will be in side the Soviet Union, as there have always been inside the United States, a growing num ber of "inspectors," that is to say of intelligence agents. Inter course is as yet, of course, very far indeed from being open be tween the Soviet Union and the Western world. But the more open it becomes, the more effec tive and reliable will be our canacitv "to inspect" the Soviet Union, as we ourselves are "in spected." The ruling oligarcny m xne Soviet Union have quite evident ly decided that they do not want or do not need the aura oi mys tery and of majesty with which Lenin and Stalin surrounded themselves. This is an extra ordinary change, and it has come about very recently. No one, I think, has as yet ex plained it. But from what we know of the history of revolu tions and of despotism, it is most probably the key phenomenon in the present situation. For as a government begins to operate. in the public view, it cannot gov ern by arbitrary command, ii must take account of how at least some considerable public will receive its commands. It is much less likely, Indeed it is much less able, to go to war HE'S THE TOP Master Sgt Andrew J. Downey (above) of the 436th Troop Carrier Wing, Brooklyn, N. Y., was named "Outstanding Reserve Airman of 1955" during con vention of the Air Force As sociation in San Francisco. Northern Japan Area Shaken by Earthquake Tokyo-ftJ.R) A rolling earth quake originating in the Pacific Ocean shook northern Japan on a 200-mile front today. The central meteorological observatory said the temblor shook Mito 100 miles northwest of Tokyo with a "rather strong" shock, and was felt along the ccast from Tokyo to Fukushima. There were no reports of in juries. Tomorrow Lippmann without notice. Among the many good things that are being done by the Geneva conference on nuclear energy, by no means the least is that it promises to destroy the iron curtain between the East ern and the Western scientists end engineers. There was a time, only ten years ago, when Amer ican atomic scientists were taken to Moscow to a conference, and were not allowed when they got there to meet any Soviet atomic scientists. Now there is a prospect that the scientists can exchange scientific papers, can correspond with one another, can meet and can talk. This is the highest and best form of mutual "inspection." For at the highest level of knowledge and among men who have mastered their subject, concealment and deception are virtually impos sible. There is a general movement among the great powers. They on secrecy and surprise to secur- are turning from security based ity based on publicity which in hibits surprise. With the modern weapons of mass destruction was is for all practicable pur poses impossible if the aggressor cannot achieve surprise. It is no longer wishful thinking, than to say that the great powers are on the way which, if followed fur ther, means the avoidance of the third world war. In human affairs there is no clear cut dividing line between one era and another. The old era continues long after the new one has begun. Feudalism, for example, is long past and yet even in highly socialist European countries, important elements of feudalism remain. The cold war is very far from being over, and probably no one alive today will see the end of it. But what is happening, it would appear, is that we are entering a new era in the cold war, one in which that cold ar is ceasing to be, as it has been for the past ten years, the seedbed of a great and total war. What can we discern about the era into which we are beginning to enter? Not much as yet but perhaps at least this that as war ceases to be the main pre occupation of the nations, they will be governed less by their fears and more by their hopes This will subject them to a new and difficult test whether in an atmosphere of security and of hope, they can freely agree on what is the public interest and how to achieve it. The fear of war is a better thing. But it com pels men to agree on a common purpose, that of national defense. The question which may well be uppermost in the days that are to pome is whether, without the coercion and the cohesion of fear, the differing and opposing hopes of free men can be recon ciled and fused into national purposes.

Crew Battling Forest Fire Near La Grande La Grande (U.R) : A crew of 32 men Saturday battled a forest fire in the ' Wallowa Whitman National forest quar ter mile from the airstrip at Red's Horse ranch. Latest re port from the fire front said the blaze was about controlled. The fire was discovered late Friday and by Saturday had burned over about 15 acres of timberland. The fire was in extremely rough country. There are no roads into Red's Horse ranch and guests have to be flown in. POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) That tall wife of the tall farmer who has figured in these columns in the past (once in con nection with skunks), is Pot luck fodder again. Staff member , reports she's been pointing out to city folks lately that parents who live in the country don't have to worry about city hazards which might attack their children. (This de spite the fact that the 2-year-old boy recently has wandered off on long rural walks, to be found only after his parents had con sidered forming a posse.). But maybe she's right, though. And one of the city hazards may be said to be Sunday-school going. The 3-year-old girl went to the Methodist Sunday school one recent Sunday; it was a nice day; the class went outdoors to enjoy the trees and grass of the Library park; some Presbyterian Sunday-schoolers and some other Methodists had the same idea. The 3-year-old got somehow mislaid, and when her weeping mother finally found her, after searching the church, the Sun day school building and the park, the youngster was calmly sitting with a Presbyterian lady who found the young DP, gathered she was not a Presby terian, and volunteered to watch her until help arrived. The Starlile Drive-In last week had a big sign adver tising "The Blakboard Jungle." Management explain ed some hoodlums had swiped all their "Cs". It was fortu nate the film playing wasn't "Conquest of Space," or even "The Solid Gold Cadillac. Why is it that Potluck seems to attract animal stories? Anyway, the rest of the column is devoted to them. Here's the first: Ray Harnish, who lives at the western edge of Eagle Point, found he had an audience one recent evening while milking his cows. Four tiny spotted fawns at tentively watched Harnish at work until two does arrived and herded the little fellows away, a move watched, and perhaps supervised, by a forked-horn buck nearby. Before departing into the woods, the seven, possibly made thirsty by watching the milk, drank deeply at the farm pond. A Mail Tribune employee buys her eggs from some body else that works down town, but who raises eggs at home. The M-T worker re ports that most of the eggs are double-yolk jobs, and about once a week, there's a iriple- yolker in the bunch. The lady whose hens pro duce the eggs explains that it's too bad, because a hen's laying capacity is not govern ed by the number of eggs laid, but by the total number of yolks produced. It seems virtually impos sible to end this item without remarking, "That's a yolk son." A Jacksonville man the other morning found a small fox in his chicken pen. He shot it wounding it in the leg, then found another one nearby which appeared not to be particularly scared of him. He took the two pups to the house, and then de cided, because they were so darn cute, to take the wounded one to a veterinarian. The doctor set, splintered and otherwise attended to the leg, McKay Says Local Groups Must Help Preserve History Champoeg (U.R) Secre tary of Interior Douglas McKay Saturday said local communities and the states should take more of a hand in development and preservation of " historic sites within their boundaries. The secretary, speaking at the dedication of Robert New ell house at Champoeg as a his toric site, said there was a limit to what the federal govern ment can and should do in the field of preserving such sites and objects. Praises Champoeg People He praised the people of Champoeg for their interest and work in preserving the Newell house and cited the cities of Newberg and Vancouver, Wash., as other "communities which worked mostly on their own in establishing historic sites. McKay stressed the import ance of historic sites because of the "association value" they have with the people of the community.. 'Nothing else "certainly no school textbook can compete with them when it comes to ar ousing interest in history," Mc Kay said. McKay left here after the ded ication of Fort Vancouver Na tional monument. Dead line Sunday Classified Is at noon Saturday: 10 .m.

When our man got home, he untied the other fox pup for a moment, and it got away from him. He chased it; it ran to some -neighbors, and he found both foxes had been raised more or less as pets. Second-hand reports indicated he explained about shooting the other fox, and said they could have it back if they'd pay the medical costs, but otherwisa he'd keep it himself. We're still waiting to learn how it all came out But we have been told the wounded fox pup is getting along fine.

Thoughts About Grandchildren To the Editor: There's long been a mild wonderment with me just why the word "grand", was used to designate our chil dren's children. Of course they're always, or nearly, a grand ad dition to the family circle. Un fortunately, they do not always continue' so. But a new and pleasant slant was given recently following a wild and rapid descent in a rain of dust and busted boards to a sudden stop some seven feet below, that put me out of the running a few days. Worst of all, there's quite a few home owners who depend on me to help keep homes land scaped and maintained in pleas ing style. As one said, "I don't know what I'll ever do without your help here." Now such pay cannot be meas ured in mere dollars and cents. So, my 16-year-old grandson was approached. Sure, sure. It was all a wonderment. His car that he and his brother had bought the various parts for and as sembled, purred along like some thing fresh from the factory. And his sharp" observance of traffic rules, their limited ease ments like red-light right turns, so nonchalant-like driving in such contrast to my gingerly careful way, for when one is old, bad disaster or less lifts ones' driver's license; you don't get it back as in younger years. No more to wheel the winding 3 roads through the cherished lands of our fathers, mine who were here long long before the coming of the pale-face. A terri fying contemplation. . But most astonishing was the ease with which he lifted out the big power mower that took so much of my tugging, lifting and grunting. Yet, it was so little while back we boys vied in flip ping 120 pound sacks of wheat from the thresher to shoulder and raced to release its golden flood to the hungry bins. How the years do sneak away youth's boundless strength and time. Our ride home and his pride of accomplishment was so pleas ing. Bringing to mind another grandson's insistence to do his own building, saying, "Grandpa. a boy has got to be proud of something." Answer enough for most of youth's problems. F. J. Clifford c 1211 W.
