i4 Broader Base
Medford is no longer a little town. With a popu
lation estimated at' about 20,000, it is now a small
city. , . g
This growth is being reflected in many ways, but
the one we wish to speak of today is in "municipal ad
ministration." That rather pompous phrase simply
means the things that city officials do to get along,
and to meet the changing problems posed by the
growth of a city.
THERE have been several progressive periods dur-
ing the history of Medford (the far-sightedness of
earlier public servants in providing us with -what is
probably the best city water supply in the nation is an
example), and we would judge the past half-dozen or
so years to be another similar period of progress.
During that time a new water pipeline has been
provided to insure our continued supply of water;
the fire and police departments have been expanded
and modernized ; a library annex has been placed in
service: traffic. and street surveys have been made
Land a long-range program
the airport has been vastly improved and a beautilul
administration building constructed ; the city admin
istration itself has been revised, and the old mayor
council form of government has been supplanted by
the council-manager type. . . :
THESE changes have not been without municipal
. aches and pains. There have been occasional bat
tles and disagreements, with their attendant bitter
ness and recrimination.
But in the main, Medford has developed and grown
with relatively little fuss and bother compared to
some other cities we could name. That it has done so
is to the credit of those who have accepted the re
sponsibilities of city government, and of those voters
who have had the (foresight to "go along" with the
improvements, some of which have been expensive.
COME of the difficulties which underlie the prob-
lems themselves were pointed out in a recent issue
of the American Municipal News : ,
Local governments are smack up against construction
needs more urgent than those facing the federal government
or the states. It is the counties, school districts and munici
palities that bear the brunt of population shifts and that
mirror the results of the nation's rapid urbanization and
expanding population.
The capacity of local government to finance the needed
improvements is adequate from an economic point of view..
Hampering tax rate limits, outmoded 'debt limits and re
strictive state control of local finances gum up the works in
preventing local government from utilizing its basic fiscal '
ability. Needed are new thoughts and concepts on local fi
nancing and a broadening of the market for local bond
issues. - ' ' . . '
' But the problems are not all financial (although
it must be pointed out that none of them can be solved
without adequate supplies of that veiy necessary in
gredient money).
COME of the problems lie simply in the mechanisms
r upon which we depend to get the work done. The
change to the city manager form; of government in
Medford, for instance, is a step forward. But that in
itself does not guarantee good government.
In making the change, all those involved must unr
derstand the new lines of responsibility and authority.
There are signs that "this is being done in Medford.
At the same time, as the executive authority is cen
tralized, it is to the advantage of the city to broaden
the base of participation and understanding. As the
city council becomes more acquainted with its role as
a policy-making body only, It finds an increasedneed
for advice from a broader range of the citizenry than
can serve in an elected capacity.
- j , - -
THE growth in stature of the city planning commis
sion, which more and more is assuming an import
ant role not only in technical matters of zoning but
also in long-range planning and research, is an ex
ample of this broadened base, and a healthy one.
The same applies to the move which has resulted
in the citizens'-budget committee deciding; to ; hold
monthly meetings throughout the year not just a
few meetings at 'budget-making time. By doing this,
the members can gain a greater understanding of the
needs of each city department; they can fini out if
there is any surplus "fat" being appropriated,; and,
conversly, they can find out in what areas, if any, the
city is suffering for lack of appropriations.
It appears obvious, for instance, that the city, to
keep up with the physical needs of. growth, is going
to have to ask the people for a tax increase next year.
It will be up to the people to decide whether or not
they are willing to pay for the continuation of pro
gress which has marked the city in the past few years.
THE budget committee, in dealing with the prob
lems of finance on a monthly basis, and with
"nothing to lose," so to speak, except their hours of
service, will be in a better posjtion than the elected
members of the council to assess these needs, to inter
pret them to the voters, and to make recommenda
tions based upon a solid acquaintanceship of the ac
tual problems.
We have a healthy respect for the basic horse0
sense of the voters of Medford, and would be willing
to stake a lot on their ability and willingness to as
sume the responsibilities of citizenship, provided only
they have adeqate inf ormation.
By widening participation in the affairs of the city,
we are hopeful that everyone will be able to gain a
keener awareness of what is needed, and the sacri
fices which will be required to fulfill the needs. E.A.

Matter of Fact By
HAS THE KREMLIN
MELLOWED? j
Washington ?If there is one
sentence which describes the
basic underlying assumption of
American pol
icy throughout
the Cold War,
it is this:
"The United
States has it in
its power to in
crease enor
mously5 the
strains under
w h i cth Soviet
policy must
operate and
in this way to
Stewart KUmp
promote tendencies which must
eventually find their outlet in
either the break-up or the grad
ual mellowing of Soviet power."
The sentence comes from the
famous "Mr. X" article by for
mer policy planner and Ambas
sador to Russia George F. Ken
nan. The article, which first out
lined the "policy of contain
ment," was written in 1947.
Ever since, with some twistings
and turning, containment of So
viet power has been the policy
of the United States.
This seems a good time to ask,
therefore, whether trie contain
ment policy is actually working
whether the "gradual mellow
ing of Soviet power" foreseen by
Kennan has actually begun to
happen. And a good man to ask
seems Knnan himself, the au
thor' of the containment policy.
This reporter accordingly
made Milan, where Kennan was
attending a meeting of the Con
gress of Cultural Freedom, his
last port of call in a three-month
tour of the Soviet Union and
Western Europe.
The Congress brought to
gether 150 or so leading intel
lectuals and political thinkers of
the non-Communist world.
The Congress was worth at
tending because, although those
present disagreed . strongly and
articulately about every other
matter, they were almost unani
mously agreed on two points.'
First, there has been a real
change in the Soviet Union. But
second, this change confronts
the West with a period of very
great danger.
To understand both points, it
is necessary to examine the real
nature of the change that has
taken place. To use Kennan's
phrase, the "morbid and irra
tional" aspect of the Soviet re
gime have-largely disappeared
since the death of Joseph Stalin.
THE morbid and irrational as-
pects of the regime were in
part the products of a quarter
century of ruthless one-man
rule; in part, of the increasingly
neurotic' fears and suspicions' of
the aging .Stalin. The results of
the sweeping away of these as
pects of the regime are obvious,
both internally and externally.
Internally, the experts at Mi
lan agreed, the most striking
post-Stalin phenomenon .is the
downgrading of. the power of the
secret police. The MVD is now
headed,byl career man.who re
ports to the Presidium as a whole
rather than to any individual.
To emphasize the dominance of
the party over the police, the
MVD has been publicly stripped
of the power to arrest a Com
munist Party member, without
the prior approval of the local

. President Eisenhower's condi
tion continues to improve
which is wonderful. Every day
that passes takes another day
from the two weeks the doctors
say will be the critical period.
Hopes are running high.
BUT
There's always a cloud on
the horizon.
The dispatches report that
Egypt's decision to BUY ARMS
from Communist Czechoslovakia
has brought grave concern in
Washington. The United States
is described as having the mak
ings of a first class crisis on its
hands in the Middle East with
the danger of a new Arab-Israeli
war in the background.
I SUPPOSE things like that just
HAVE to go with world lead
ership. - It's too bad we can't turn
bothiof them over our kneefor a
good spanking.
THE National Safety Council
reports that heavy summer
vacation travel has boosted the
nation's TOTAL traffic death
toll for the first eight months
of this year. The figure up to
Sept. 1 was 23,470 as compared
with 22,430 for .the same period
in 1954.
But
On the basis of mileage the
council reported a more favor
able figure. cFor the first seven
months of 1955, the death rate
was 5.8 Jor each 100,000,000
miles, which is the lowest seven
month figure on record.
rpHAT is to say:
1 MORE PEOPLE have been
killed in traffic this year, but
MORE PEOPLE have been trav
eling' MORE CAR MILES. "
IlHAT is the answer to

" traffic hazard?
The BEST ANSWER is BET

That is up to each individual

Party Committee.
: At the same time, there is hard
evidence, much discussed at Mi
lan, that the whole labor camp
system, which used to be a spe
cial empire of the secret police,
is being reorganized root and
branch. Thousands of prisoners
have been amnestied and the liv
ing conditions of the others ren
dered more tolerable.
The subordinationOof the se
cret police power has in turn
led to an easier atmosphere of
life for the ordinary Soviet citi
zen. But this does not mean for
a moment that the Soviet system
has been changed in any of its
essentials. The Soviet system
will-not be abandoned, to use
Party Secretary Khruschev's col
orful phrase, "until shrimps
learn to whistle." The new re
gime has merely, shuffled off
those ointernal aspects of the
Soviet system which were irra
tional and therefore unprofit
able, o
The "new" Soviet foreign pol
icy is equally no more than a
shuffling off of the irrational
and the unprofitable. It was a
simple act of reason on the part
of the new regime to end the in
credibly stupid Stalinist poli
cies toward Yugoslavia and Aus
tria. In the same way, it is no
more' than rational to wish to
avoid any major risk of nuclear
war and the new Soviet . rulers
undoubtedly do want to avoid
this risk.
IN this sense, there has been a
"mellowing of Soviet power,"
internally and externally; But is
a return to reason in the Krem-.
lin really an undiluted blessing
for the West? Is it not possible
that an intelligent and rational
Soviet policy will hold far great
er dangers for- the West, " and
especially for the United States,
than a morbid and irrational So
viet policy? . ;
The majority of those gather
ed at Milan believed that the
answer to both questions was
"Yes." They believed that, un
der the new circumstances, to
paraphrase the sentence quoted
above, "The Soviet Union has it
in its power to increase enor
mously the strains under which
American policy must operate."
Among those who so . believed
was the author of the famous
article on which American pol
icy has so long been based.

the reader who sends me the
best question on nature and

set . of this world-famous refer
ence work in a handsome Seal-
Labor party, which is backing
Kubitschek.
It is there that the possibil
ity of any Army coup exists.
The ream storm center in' the
election is Kubitschek's vice
presidential running mate, Joao
Goulart. : . Goulart is president
of the Labor party, which Var
gas headed.
If Goulart is elected, it is quite
possible that the generals will
intervene - and refuse to permit j
him to take office.
Goulart Fined
The Army forced Vargas to
dismiss Goulart as minister of
labor in a prelude to the late
president's ouster.
It was charged, at the time,
that Goulart was trying to or
ganize the Brazilian Labor party,
with Vargas's approval, along
the lines of the Argentine labor
organization which Dictator Juan
D. Peron made his country's po
litical power.
Gen. Canrobert Pereira da
Costa, chairman of the Brazilian
Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a
speech on Aug. 6 that politicians
had brought Brazil to tht brink
of "revolution and chaos."
Pereira da Costa said then
that the armed forces might find
it necessary to intervene in the
presidential campaign.
That warning seems still to
apply to the post-election period
if Kubitschek and- Goulart are
elected.

Putnam Mourns Death
Of Judge TouVelle;
Describes His Career
(Editor's Note: This is another in
a series of articles by Georfe Put
nam, editor emeritus of the Salem
Capital-Journal and former editor
and publisher of the Mail Tribune,
reprinted from the Salem newspaper.
Today he recalls some of his mem
ories of Judge Frank L. TouVelle,
Jacksonville, a long-time personal
friend, who died last week.)
By GEORGE PUTNAM
A distinguished pioneer and
builder of good highways in Ore
gon, Judge Frank L. TouVelle
passed away at his residence in
Jacksonville Wednesday evening
from a heart attack at the age
of 85. Though born in Kansas he
spent his early years in Ohio,
where at the age of 20 he was
elected treasurer of Mercer
county, serving from 1892 to 97.
TouVelle was a graduate of
the Cincinnati Law school when
William Howard Taft, after
wards president and chief jus
tice of the United States, was its
dean and a member of the legal
fraternity Phi Delta Phi.
TouVelle came to Medford in
1905 and invested heavily in
apple and pear orchards. During
the fruit boom that followed he
reaped a small fortune. His
shrewdnes and good . judgment
won him the nickname of
"Lucky TouVelle." He still owns
one of the finest cornice pear
orchard in Rogue River valley.
Elected County Judge
TouVelle was elected county
judge of Jackson county, 1913
1919 on a good roads platform,
after a hot campaign. After pro
longed attempts the state consti
tution was amended to permit
both state and counties to vote
bonds for highways and the
Jackson county voters author
ized a $500,000 .bond issue to
construct and pave the first pnit
of the Pacific highway between
Central Point and Ashland and
the grade over the Siskiyou
mountains to the California line.
Gov. Oswald West and Samuel
Hill stumped the county for
good roads. - . .
TouVelle declined to seek re
election. In 193.5 he was appoint
ed by Governor Martin as state
highway .commissioner,, resign
ing when. Martin met defeat in
the Democratic primaries. While
he was on the commission, High
way 99 over the Siskiyous was
relocated and constructed on its
present route, as was Highway
101 along the Oregon coast.
Adopts Youths
In 1916 TouVelle married
Elizabeth Blosser of Chillocothe,
Ohio. She died in 1932. After
her death TouVelle's greatest
hobby was , in semi - adopting
training an educating neglected
and underprivileged youths and
giving them a chance by their
own development and industry
and sending those qualified to
college. Those so helped justi
fied his efforts and are a credit
to their benefactor whom they
idolize.
When the Potter Palmer es
tate of Chicago decided to sell
their huge ranch and orchard
property on the Rogue river
near Medford. TouVelle pur
chased over a thousand acres,
mostly rich river bottom land
on both sides of the Rogue above
and below Bybee bridge for a
mile.
TouVelle State Park
Some of the land was taken
over by the government f6r

point from Bybee bridge to the

"Come heal my son or he
will die." So said the nobleman
to Jesus. At that Jesus answered
the man "Ex- '

it was that
Jesus must go
to the boy and
do some mira

would not be

stead of that,
the man came
back with "Come at once or my
boy will die." Jesus saw faith
