MAIL TRIBUNE
Names For Schools
It is a sort of unwritten tradition in much of the
United States to name schools after deceased presi
dents or heroes of one sort or another.
This tradition is "safe" for few can object to
honoring most former chief executives of the U.S.,
nor those who have won fame in service to the coun
try. The exceptions to this tradition have been few.
But they are refreshing when wisely done.
'THIS is the case in the naming of Medford's two
junior high' schools, the new one on East Jackson
st., and the older structure which has long been simply
Medford Junior High school.
The new one, named E. H. Hedrick Junior High
school, honors the man most responsible for its' con
struction, and for the forward progress of the Med
ford school system for the past 30 years.
The older school has been named Dr. John Mc
Loughlin Junior High school; in recognition of one of
Oregon's besWcnown and worthiest pioneers: (This
may tend to give added support to the use of the
name "Mt. McLoughlin" for the majestic mountain to
the east, rather than the easier "ML. Pitt.")
17E approve the choices of the school board. The
names are entirely appropriate, and give honor
where honor is due.
The time has not yet
be named here for some of
without a storm of controversy, although the time
eventually will come when they could well be so honored.
For'the present, we like the names, Hedrick and
McLoughlin Junior High
Praise For Schools
Speaking of schools, the current issue of Harp
er's . Magazine has an article which claims that much
of the current criticism of the nation's. school system
overlooks the real progress
It points out that school
by 90 times during those
the schools, which once was to give only a tiny major
ity a secondary education, is now to give an educa
tional opportunity to EVERY child, and that the cur
riculum, once limited pretty much to the "three Ks
now has become, through
broad and comprehensive.
THE article, by Sloan
hat many of. the criticisms levelled at the - public
schools have a basis in fact,
are not universal, and the
phenomenal progress, and the phenomenal problems,
made and faced by the schocls in recent years.
Wilson cites one recent book (he doesn't name it,
but leaves no doubt that it
Johnny Can t Read ) and declares that such pointed
criticisms "have one thing in common : They lead the
reader to believe that if one relatively inexpensive
step were taken, like the use of more phonics to teach
reading, everything : would be, just dandy in the
schools" ' .' . v ;
X7ILSON suggests two steps be taken to maintain
"the present progress
people generally realize , the nobility of the goal ;
the public has set for the schools, and the enormous
amounts of money, time and thought needed to ach
ieve it. Second, "for thoughtful people in every state
and community to sit down and examine the facts
about their schools, hear all relevant opinions, and
chart their own course." He adds:
The job of figuring out -how righteous indignation
- about weaknesses of the schools can be converted into con- '
structive action wiU not be done by people who wave their '
arms while criticizing the schools as though "they were
fighting bees. It will be done by serious-minded people
calmly appraising the schools in their own community. It .
wUl be done by people who have learned to be patient of
differing points" of view, and who know how to enlarge
areas of agreements, rather than capitalizing on contro- '
versy . , . ' ' '"'. " ; .
I certainly agree that many schools are pretty poor now, :
as they have been" always, and I believe that they there-
fore should be supported doubly. The job of creating schools
capable of developing aU the abilities of all American chil
dren will never be easy, but without any 'doubt the Ameri- ,
can people are in their own curious way plodding toward
it. There is certainly hope in the fact that fore the past""1
fifty years," they have plodded with the speed of hares.
MEDFORD has long been fortunate in strong sup
port for its school system, and that school sys
tem, while it has been subject to occasional criticisms
as to method, has made a record which will stand Up
with the best, anywhere. ' 7 : , , - .
We will be well-advised to continue that support,
criticizing where necessary, but only on the basis of
known and observed facts. The educator's who serve
us and our children have earned the right to the
initial benefit of any doubt. For they have the almost
impossibly tough job of answering the public's de
mand for what Wilson calls "the ideal of public
schools which will do all they possibly can to help
each child become as healthy, wealthy artd wise as
his native endowments permit."
In fulfilling that ideal, they'll need our help.

Matter of
WHAT DISARMAMENT?
Washington The practical
value of the Geneva conference
is now to be "tested for the first
time, at the meeting of the
United Nations
D i s armament
commission on
Aug. 29. The
best guide to
the tests is an
incident that
took place here
in Washington
shortly before
the President
left, for the
Summit.
Joseph Also In those pre
Geneva weeks, no subject divid
ed the highest echelon of policy
makers more violently than the
subject of disarmament. Having
been named as the. President's
disarmament specialist, the al
ways ambitious Harold Stassen
was now, in effect, running for
high office on a disarmament
platform. Stassen therefore fa
vored bold action on disarma
ment at Geneva. For obvious
reasons, he was also supported
by the President's psychological
warfare adviser, Nelson Rocke
feller. In all three armed services, in
contrast, the mere idea of a se
rious discussion of disarmament
caused the liveliest alarm. The
Pentagon was unanimous in not
wanting to offer the rather has-
t i 1 y considered disarmament
plan then being pressed by Stas
sen, and unanimous, too, in not
wanting to offer any plan at all.
. At the State Department,
meanwhile, Secretary John Fos
ter Dulles maintained the high
ly sceptical attitude that marked
his whole approach to the sum
mit conference. As the summit
meeting grew nearer and near
er, the President's hopeful en
thusiasm grew warmer and
warmer. But Dulles never wav
ered, especially on the question
of disarmament, from his view
point that tangible results were
not to be expected.
Such, then, were the ap
proaches to the problem at the
crucial pre-summit meeting
which the President called to
work out an American disarma
ment policy. In its first stages,
this historic discussion of dis
armament, threatened to deter
iorate into a name-caUing match.
The Stassen - Rockefeller ap
proach and the Pentagon ap
proach were diametrically op
posed, and "the strongest emo
tions were felt on both sides. ;
SE C RE TARY OF STATE
Dulles acted as the great
reconciler. He used the rather
simple expedient of shoving the
real issue under the rug, or at
least off the conference table.
He said, in effect:
"We know" we are not. going
to' attempt any disarmament
without adequate safeguards
Therefore it is not worth argu
ing aboet what kind, of disarma
ment we are going to accept and
support, until we are sure that
the other side will accept the
right ;kind. of inspection. Let's
concentrate, then, on inspection
and safeguards, and let's forget
about, disarmament until we
have passed the inspection and
safeguard hurdles."
. This shrewd intervention by
Dulles brought agreement out of
the intra-governmental wrangle
which might otherwise have
continued indefinitely. Thus the
way was opened to the moral
victory achieved by the Presi
dent's famous proposal of mu
tual aerial inspection. i '
But one vital point must now
be grasped above aU others.
What the President talked about
at Geneva was not disarmament
at all. It was inspection. What
the newspapers have excitedely
described, in their advance no
tices of Gov. Stassen's program
for the U.NTJisarmament meet
ing oh Aug.' 29, is not disarma
ment either. It is still inspection.
Disarmament is.the end. Inspec
tion and safeguards are the
means by. which the end is first
made possible and, then insured.
Moreover, there are still the
same wide differences of view
about disarmament among the
policy-makers as there were be-:
fore Geneva.. So far as can be
discovered, therefore, American
postGeneva policy is only a rer
fined and elaborated version of
American pre-Geneva policy. A
detailed program of inspection
and safeguards , has been pre
pared for 'presentation on Aug.
29. It will combine the two fea
tures: the mutual aerial inspec
tion proposed by the President,
plus fixed ground inspection
teams stationed at key rail junc
tions and other points where
preparations for aggression may
be observed, to reduce the pos
sibility of surprise attack.
. Other t ideas are also in the
air. Stassen has been talking of
an arms freeze at existing lev
els. This the Pentagon hates,
even although an arms freeze
might be better than Secretary
of Defense . Charles - E. Wilson's
system of gradual but continu
ous defense cuts.
QJTASSEN has also concluded,
quite rightly, that there is
little use any longer trying to
control nuclear weapons. ParUy
this is becausethey are now too
easy to make. Partly it is be
cause no amount of inspection
could insure the destruction of
the other side's existing blocks.
And partly it is because nuclear
weapons control -would hamper
Fact By
Joseph Alsop
civilian atomic development.
But with nuclear weapons
control held to be impossible,
Stassen naturally inclines to
ward limitation of the means of
delivering nuclear weapons.
That will mean sacrificing the
Strategic Air Command, the
only real remaining element of
American offensive power. And
before anything of that sort is
attempted, both the Pentagon
and the American public will
have a good deal to say about it.
In short, although Stassen
may be ready to offer his own
private disarmament program as
well as his inspection and safe
guards program, this country is
not any nearer to having an
agreed, nationally supported ap
proach to disarmament. Yet we
are now plunging into a dis
armament conference.-
This is the kind of false situa
tion that always arises when the
attempt is made to decide by
fiat the highest questions of na
tional policy. And in the present
case, it is an enormously dan
gerous false situation; for the
Soviets most particularly do not
want the inspection and safe
guards that Stassen is ready to
talk about. And if the Soviets
want anything at aU, they really
want the disarmament that Stas
sen cannot possibly talk about
with the authority of a national
spokesman.

Something to think about:

Nixon Lists Five
Things Soviet Must
Do To Assure Peace
Boston flJ.R) Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon said to
day that the leaders of Russia
must remove "five roadblocks"
from the path of peace to prove
they "honestly want to reduce
tensions." .
If they do this, he predicted
the "beginning of the end of the
cold war will be in sight."
- But if they do not, he said the
smiles the Russians displayed at
Geneva "wiU stand exposed as
a snam and a delusion.
Nixon spoke bluntly in a ma
jor-policy address prepared for
the . 56th national encampment
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
It was another move in the ad-
ministation's campaign to elimi
nate the idea that Big Four talks
at Geneva somehow ended the
cold war. ;
Mutt Do Five Things
The vice-president said Rus
sia has to do at least five things
to convert its Geneva words into
"cold facts and hard deeds." He
said it must free Eastern Ger
many, agree to disarmament,
lower the Irn Curtain, free the
European satellites and end its
worldwide campaign of subver
sion and espionage.
He warned that the United
States even in its desire to bal
ance the budget and cut taxes,
will never reduce its defense un
til these things have been elimi
nated as a source of "strife and
war" and there is a just peace.

Reports on Dairy
Bills, Conditions
Ovreseas, Given
Measures designed to benefit
the dairy industry in the last
session of the Oregon legislature
were discussed by Lester Adams,
manager of Oregon Milk Produc
ers, at the August meeting of the
Rogue River Jersey Cattle club.

The meeting was held at the
Applegate. Members and guests
totalling more than 50 persons
Robert Romeru, MCMinnviue,
former field man for the Oregon
Jersey Cattle club, spoke brief
ly on his recent visit to his old
home on the Isle of Jersey, stat
ing he was amazed at the new
evidences of prosperity he en
countered everywhere in the
agricultural regions of the Brit
ish Isles and France. Imports
have been cut and there is a
steady demand for everything
the farmer can produce, he said.
Alaskan Problems
Another guest, Lieu Smith,
Josephine county technician for
Oregon Dairy Breeders, told of
dairying in Alaska, -his former
home, where au hay ' must , be
shipped in from the Yakima val
ley and where milk brings $9
per hundred weight 'to the pro
ducer, but cost of production and
shipping brings profits down to
the level prevailing in the states.
Frank Schutzwohl, Grants
Pass, stated that he also found
good crops in both Bavaria and
Austria on a recent visit, but that
farmers are not enjoying as
great a degree of prosperity be
cause of weather conditions.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Knight,

Hole-In-One Counted
'Skill' By Attorney
Rock Island.. HI. U.R) Is it

Obviously, Illinois Attorney
General Latham Castle ruled,
trying to make a hole-in-one "de

But "the fact is equally
obvious and more persuasive"
that "considerable skill" is in
volved, Castle said.
Therefore, Castle said in a for
mal opinion that the local
Junior Chamber of Commerce
could go ahead with its hole-in-
one contest without fear of vio
lating gambling laws. '

ciple, but there were exceptions .

Misrepresentation Charged
In a no-holds-barred speech at
French Lick, Ind., Mr. Truman
said Mr. Eisenhower has been
guilty of "misrepresentation and
demageguery" ever since his
election. He also charged that
the President never misses a
chaace to "befuddle the issues."
. The ex - President promised
more of the. same tonight when
he delivers the main address m
the climax of a three-day Demo
cratic session, on Mackinac
Island, Mich. .
It is the second of a series of
speeches the former President
has scheduled in the beginning
of a Democratic drive to recap
ture the White House In 1956.
At a news conference last
night, Mr. Truman made it ctear
he thinks tlie Democrats fcan

for reelection in 1956, that "the
President should not be immune
to criticism for what his admin

Mr. Truman aimed his first at

osity. There she took Christ as
her own and was saved. Her
heavy heart found peace. Then

said Christ John 16:23. More
things are brought through by
prayer than we can say.
