' The only thing certain about the location of the
proposed new freeway past Medford is this: No mat
ter which way it goes, it will not please everyone.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each
of the routes proposed.
Some advocate the highway department's original
plan to put an elevated freeway down the middle of
town, over Bear creek'. But this is opposed by those
who maintain that it would destroy much of the value
of Hawthorne park, which would be overshadowed
by the viaduct a view now shared by Highway En
gineer R.' H. Baldock. Costs are also said to be some
$1,000,000 more here than elsewhere.
THEN there are those who like the most recently
proposed route, down Genessee st. north of Main
st., and between Cottage and Tripp sts. south of Main.
Opponents, however, declare this would destroy
property values in that section of town, and that it
would create dust and npise in a residential area.
There are those who support a complete by-pass
of Medford, either to the east (along Foothills and
Phoenix roads), or to the west.
But opponents to these proposals object that they
would channel tourist travel completely away from
Medford and not give businesses within the city an
adequate chance at the tourists' money. It is also said
that costs would be higher, and that valuable agri
cultural land would be taken out of production.
THERE are a few who think that an elevated high-j-tvTsw
V.1-. C!nfV.-iv "Do-P. f vo 'Ira f vrnrrVi fnum
would be a logical solution.
But the opponents here believe it would mar the
business district, and the highway department esti
mates that the cost would be several million dollars
more than the other suereested routes.
Still another proposal, originally advanced by E.
M. Tucker, would establish the four-lane route along
Bear creek also, but would lower it below the exist
ing bridges, rather than over the creek, and-would
provide a concrete water channel below the highway
level.
This too, has its opponents, those who believe that
it. wnnlH nnllifv anv advantage in having the route
inside Medford, and- those
ordinary high water could
long-time flood could put the entire route out ot com
mission. In a few of Medford's floods, waters have
reached far into the residential area of the east side,
and through the business district. Such a flood would
put the route deep under water.
PROPONENTS of each plan can argue long and
loudly in support of their ideas, and opponents, if
anvthinc. are even louder and more vocal.
--OJ ---- - .
It is obvious that not

DUT we'd like to make a suggestion.
The state highway interim committee has author
ized a study of recent by-passes and other freeway
routes in other Oregon cities, to find what economic
s i " - l 1 1 . il J? L L T

should be valuable in arriving at a logical and soundly-based
decision.
Its report is due sometime before the end of the
year.
In addition, the highway department will hold a
public hearing on the freeway location shortly after
the first of the year. This will be the time for propon
ents and opponents of each of the plans to bring forth
their arguments. They will have more weight if they
are based on facts, rather than on speculation. All
will have an attentive hearing and adequate publicity.
Our suggestion, then, is this: That nobody cut
anybody else's throat in an argument over freeway
locations until the study is completed and the hearing
is held. There is no hurry, anyway, and the thinking
of all of us may be changed as additional facts be
come known. E.A.

The two small daughters of this writer went back

Now it so happens that we are mightily fond of
these kids. We suspect this feeling, toward their own
progeny, is shared by most parents. We have a natur
al fear for their safety, venturing forth on bike and
on foot along Medford streets. . .
THEY have received careful instruction in the rules
of the road as have most other school-age chil
dren. They have been cautioned of the dangers of
traffic as have most other school-age children. Their
bikes are licensed as are those of most other school
age children.
We, as parents, and the school and police author
ities, have done what can be done to safeguard them
against death or injury on the streets.

DUT we can't safeguard them against their own
sudden impulses and decisions, which may not
always be wise ones. Who can expect youngsters al
ways to do the exactly right and safe thing in all traf
fic situations?
And we can't safeguard them against the unthink

If all drivers were thoughtful and careful around

Worry
Today and
By Walter
BRAGGADOCIO
In the absence of Secretary
Dulles who was still on vacation,
the State Department's talking
bureau
c r a t s, unable
to stop, look
and listen pro
claimed "the
now by
the Soviet Un
i o n of its
brankrupt Ger
m a n policy."
Walter Uppmann Thjs was an
example of massive silliness, in
spired by the most wishful kind
of thinking. Even if it had been
true that the Soviet government
has acknoweldged the abandon
ment of its German policy, it
would have been reckless and
silly for the State department
to let out a whoop about it,
and to point with pride to its
own success. If, for example it
had been true that Dr. Adenauer
was invited to the Soviet capital
"over the head of Moscow's
satellite government in East
Germany," the . State depart
ment's boasting and bragging
about i its own triumph would
have been sufficient to compel
Moscow to save its own face and
the face of the East Germans
by inviting Grotewohl to fol
low Adenauer to Moscow. Ac
tually.Grotewohl had been in
vited to Moscow, last July.
There is, as a matter of fact,
not a word of truth in the state
ment that the Soviet Union has
abandoned its German policy.
Diplomatic relations have been
established with Bonn alongside
of, not in place of, the relations
which already exist with Pan
kow in East Germany. There
are oral assurances that pris
oners are to be released. But far
from "abandoning" its policy,
the Soviet Union has reaffirmed
categorically that its policy is
still to approach reunification
through both German govern
ments, and that it regards the
Potsdam provisional frontier as
permanent.
m
rpHE interesting thing about
Adenauer's Moscow visit is
that both parties thought it use
ful to establish diplomatic re
lations and at the same time
to declare publicly their posi
tions, which are as they knew
irreconcilable. There is in this
an implicit agreement that for
some time to come they can
live side by side, they can trade,
they can meet and they can
talk, even though all the big
issues remain unsettled. ' It
may be said, therefore, that
Bonn and Moscow have nego
tiated a modus Vivendi.
Though both governments
look beyond this modus vivendi
to a settlement, neither is acting
as if it expected to see a settle
ment in the near future. Dr. Ad
enauer cannot suppose that the
Soviet Union is going . to grant
him the terms he has laid down.
The terms include not only the
surrender of East Germany but
also a territorial settlement at
the expense of the post-war Po
lish state. The Soviet terms are
equally outside the limits of a
negotiated 'settlement. They call
for a reunited Germany in
which fthe German Communists
from East Germany will be a
power, and they call for a Eur
opean security arrangement
which in effect disestablishes the
Wesvern military system.
Neither in Bonn or in Moscow
are there as yet the makings of
a negotiable settlement.
WfE all know, of course, that
" the existing modus vivendi
is provisional, and that in one
way or another serious negotia
tions for a settlement will event
ually be brought about. But
wnat will bring about serious
negotiations? Most Drobahlv. it.
will be the rise of a strong na-
uonai ieenng in both parts of
Germany. When it arises, it wiU
be very difficult for the Soviet
government to retain its grip on
East Germany. And it will be
very difficult for a Western
German government to refuse
to let its military connections
With NATO be Used in harcrain.
ing about the withdrawal of the
rteas troops irom German soil.
There is not as vet a strong
national feeling in Germany.
Everybody, to be sure, is in fa
vor of reunification and the re
covery of the lost territory. But
not many are in favor of it at
the risk of war, of which the
Germans have harl mn than
enough, and not at any big risk
of disturbing then existing pros-
Deritv. The reunification nf
Germany is the leading political
tauung point. But it is a tepid
issue, not a hot one. So it is
feasible to set terms which are
known to be impossible. For
there is as yet nothing urgent
about a settlement.
. . ,
rpHERE are some signs in Eng
land of a wish to find out
whether Dr. Adenauer's terms
could be modified so as to make
them negotiable. For example,
it is being suggested that incor
poration of an armed Germany
in NATO is less important than
Germany's political alignment
with the West and that the
Tomorrow
Lippmenn
one might be given up in order
to gain the second. No one can
know whether some such com
promise would induce the Sov
iet government to negotiate ser
iously. The only way to find out
is to talk to them privately, and
that is something , which will
surely be done by the Germans
themselves when diplomatic re
lations have been established.
It is, no doubt, too early for
the United States to modify its
unqualified endorsement of
terms that are known to be not
negotiable. There would be ad
vantages in waiting to see wheth
er an agreement can be reached
with the Soviet Union on the
early-warning plans. For then
the basic accord reached at Ge
neva that war cannot be con
templated will have been
ratified in a concrete agree
ment. It wiU then be self-evident
that negotiation by give and take
is the only way to settle that
German question.
e
"DUT if it is not now expedient
to begin trading for a Ger
man settlement, let us avoid
creating about Germany, a myth-,
ology in which we see ourselves
so strong that a setUement can
be had on our own terms. For
the time is coming, perhaps at
the Foreign Ministers' meeting
in October, when we shall have
to choose. We shall have to
choose between, on the one hand,
negotiating a compromise and,
on the other hand, unwarlike co
existence within the existing sit
uation. It wiU prevent much confu
sion, and much disappointment
and resentment, if the Adminis
tration stopped talking as if the
Soviet Union was in retreat and
was about to surrender uncondi
tionaUy to the public relations
experts in the State department
For what will be . needed in the
time to come is not an exalted
and bedazzled mood, but a cool
and businesslike one.

Red Hat Day
To the Editor: Last year 13
persons were killed in Oregon
in hunting accidents and 37 were
wounded. Carelessness by a few
hunters caused more than 200
forest fires in Oregon. This is
too terrible a price for the indif
ference of a few to common rules
of safety while using our incom
parable outdoors.
Is it any wonder that the pub
lic and sportsmen groups wor
ried about this terrible toll of
human life, destruction and
waste of our forests, soil, water,
wildlife and fish? It's no wonder
farmers and stockmen post "No
Trespassing" signs. Could strict
er laws improve conditions?
Could education of the public
do the job? Organized sportsmen
and real conservationists liked
the latter idea. Under the leader
ship, of the Portland Izaak Wal
ton League chapter a few
months ago the plan was born.
The Red Hat, a hunter's and
woodsman's symbol, was adopted
for this program. You will be
hearing more about Red Hat Day
through the coming days. It
catches the public eye and de
serves our every support.
Red Hat Day has earned the
hearty backing of Gov. Paul
Patterson who has given his. of
ficial blessing, named a state
wide general committee of five
outstanding leaders among
sportsmen and land groups, and
set the machinery in motion for
an intensive organization in each
of Oregon's 36 counties.
The basic idea is education of
the general public and especial
ly hunters to their responsi
bilities when in the outdoors.
Every user of Oregon's forests
or streams should gladly take
the Red Hat Day pledge: "I. give
my pledge to be law-abiding, re
spect the rights and property of
others, and be careful with fire
and firearms." "And leave a
clean, safe camp,". might weU
be added.
Sept. 23 is Red Hat Day just
a week before opening of deer
hunting season. Wear a red hat in
support of the plan. If no red
hat, you may wear a Red Hat
button or use the Red Hat
windshield .sticker. These may
help to save a life now, and
Oregon's natural resources for
coming young Americans. Be a
safer hunter!

Thank You Notes . i
Matter of Fact By Stewart Atop
THE BOURGEOISIZATION
OF COMMUNISM
Belgrade Yugoslavia is living
proof of how far the process of
change can go in a Commu
nist state, once
it gets start
ed. All ' quali
fied observers
agree that some
sort of process
of change has
started also in
the Soviet Un
ion. And it is
therefore
tempting to
speculate
Stewart Alsoa whether the
change in Russia might go as
far as it has here.
Make no mistake about it.
Yugoslavia is a Communist state,
and a dictatorship. But it is a
very different sort of Commu
nist dictatorship than it was
seven or eight years ago, when
Yugoslavia was threatening Tri
este, shooting down American
planes and actively supporting
the Greek Communist guerrillas.
In those days, according to
reliable witnesses, the Tito re
gime was in some ways tougher
than Stalin's. The suppression of
all vestiges of liberty was as
total as in Russia, the secret
police was as ruthless, and the
life of the people was even more
drab. Now, Tito's Yugoslavia
presents a startling contrast even
to the milder post-Stalin Soviet
Union.
Some of these contrasts are
trivial, like the fact that the
Belgrade newspapers print
"Donald Duck" and "Jiggs and
Maggie." And yet would it not
have a certain political signifi
cance if Moscow's leading news
papers suddenly began , using,
and even paying for, American
comic strips?
Or take, as another example,
the party which dictator Tito
threw the other night for the
Greek King and Queen. If the
late King Alexander had been
around to haunt the white sugar-
candy palace he built himself
here in Belgrade, he would have
felt right at home. He would
have applauded particularly the
impeccable full dress of the
Yugoslav officials and the red-on-blue
dress uniform of the
Yugoslav generals. And he
would have been impressed too

by the elegant amiability dis
played toward their Royal High
nesses by Marshal Tito who,
after all, has spent most of his
life plotting the downfaU of
Royal Highnesses of all sorts.
NO SUCH scene could possi
bly have occurred in the So
viet Union, where even the sim
ple dinner jacket is condemned
as a symbol of "bourgeois deca
dence" and official receptions
are about as elegant as a bear
hug. What has been happening
here and what may yet happen
in the Soviet Union is what
one astute Western observer
calls "the bourgeoisization of
communism." The break with
Stalin threw the Yugoslav lead
ers into close contact with the
West, wiUy-nflly. And certain
habits and viewpoints of the
West were absorbed, by a sort
of osmosis, simply because they
made life easier and pleasanter.
To be sure, there are in Bel
grade the same dreariness and
drabness which are apparently
inseparable from Communism.
But, in sharp contrast to Mos
cow, there are pretty girls oa
the streets, dressed with a cer
tain sense1 of style. And what
is no doubt more important,
there is an atmosphere of casual
human easiness here which is
stiU utterly lacking in Russia.
You can have a meal alone
with a Yugoslav official or news
paperman. You can talk with
him, argue with him, joke with
him, in a way wholly impossible
in Russia. The Yugoslavs are
even capable of making jokes
about the sacred doctrine. One
very high official, asked about
the Marxist doctrine of "the
withering away of the state,"
roared with laughter and said:
"WeU, I'd have to wither away
first, and so far I feel all right."
Nobody makes that kind of joke
in the Soviet Union.
Actually, the Yugoslav lead
ers take their own special brand
of Marxist doctrine very seri
ously indeed, even though, un
like the Russians, they are capa
ble of joking about it. According
to the Yugoslav, they discovered
in about 1950 that the Russian
system of total dictation from
the center and ruthless agricul
tural collectivization just didn't
work. So they have elaborated
their own brand of Marxism. Its
catchwords are "decentraliza
tion" and "economic democ
racy." ;
Reliable observers claim that
workers in Yugoslav enterprises
really do have something to say
about their conditions of work
and the division of the profits,
and that control from the center
really is much lighter than in
the Russian system. At any rate,
the Yugoslavs are sure that they
have invented a new and better
kind of Marxist state. One of
the top Yugoslav officials sol
emnly told this reporter that
"Yugoslav Democratic Socialism
will mark as great a crossroads
in world history as .the victAry
of capitalist democracy over
feudalism." ;
e
THE Yugoslavs, as this remark
suggests, are perhaps the
cockiest people in the world.
And by the same token, they are
quite sure that, far from Yugo
slavia being attracted back to
the Soviet way of doing things,
the Soviets will eventually see
the wisdom of emulating the
Yugoslav, adopting "decentral
ization," "economic democracy,"
dress suits, jokes, arguments
among themselves about politics,
and aU the other aspects of Yugo
slav life.
Could the Yugoslavs perhaps
be right? Could it be that the
"oourgeoisization oi commu
nism," which has gone so far
here, has really .begun to get
under way in the Soviet Union
too? Could the doctrinaire irra
tionality which has so long
threatened the world give away
in time to something milder and
(mellower, something that could
at least be lived with? Here in
Belgrade, it looks at least pos
sible, though no more than re
motely possible.

Russians Seeking
U.S. Equipment
Washington (U.PJ Russian
trade officials have revealed
they are trying to buy Ameri
can farm equipment ranging
from "tractors to hay balers."
They said yesterday they are
negotiating with American man
ufacturers for the equipment
Amtorg Trading Corp, New
York, official purchasing agency
for the Soviet Union, said it has
sent out a number of inquiries.
It said they involved machines
which aroused the.interest of the
Russian farm defegation that re
cently completed a visit to this
country.
Amtorg was granted an export
license by the Commerce De
partment last Thursday to ship
to Russia 64 head of Santa Ger
trudis cattle it bought from San
Antonio, Tex., breeders. An of
ficial said mf Soviet request to
buy farm machinery also might
be considered favorably.
The final test, however, will
be whether the equipment could
be used in any way for military
purposes. For instance, a heavy
caterpillar-type tractor might be
considered a "military" item
since it could be used to build
airfields as well as for plowing.
