Our Safety Rating
A conference of city officials and citizens inter
ested in safety was held last week in an attempt to
see why Medford's rating, as determined by the Na
tional Safety Council, was not higher than it is.
Out of 467 cities of the same general population,
Medford was ranked 77th on the basis of scoring in
eight classifications. That's a pretty creditable rating,
but those involved feel it should be better. They
wanted to know why it wasn't.
-
AFTER spending the best part of an afternoon go
ing over the analysis of Medford's report, the
group reached several conclusions. One of them was
that the city fell in rank simply because its procedures
of reporting to the council were not as effective as
they could be with a little more thought and effort.
In other words, it was felt that Medford's safety
record is a lot better than it looks, simply because
information about it has not been systematically col
lected and publicized.
Plans were made to do something about this.
Should these plans succeed, it is felt that Medford's
ranking and reputation would rise considerably as a
consequence. . , . , .
IN 1954, the year covered by the 'report at hand,
Medford had no traffic deaths, and as a result was
tied for first place in the death record category.
In the "accident facts" category, it was tied for
377th, a drop in rank from 109th the year before.
This, it is felt, is largely the result of misunderstand
ings in reporting accidents, and lack of manpower in
the police department to prepare the proper reports.
In engineering, Medford's rank was a tie for 46th
place, a highly creditable spot.
In police traffic supervision, Medford dropped
from 53rd in 1953 to 373rd in 1954 but here again
lack of proper reporting, and possibly misunderstand
ing, was blamed.
The traffic court section showed the city in a
329th place tie. Some of the recommendations in
this category are. being followed; in others a lack
of -uniform reporting again was felt to be at fault.
City Judge James Main is considering the possibility
of a traffic violators school, in line with the recom
mendations, and other suggestions are under study.
THE school safety program in Medford ranks high.
In 1954 it was tied for 10th spot, an excellent rec
ord. But school authorities were unhappy because
the year before it had ranked fourth in the entire
nation.
Here again, lack of uniform reporting was partly
to blame, for most of the recommendations are being
eaualled or bettered, and only a misunderstanding
about a few minor details
done appeared to be the
ranking down.
In public safety education, this drawback mis-
reporting and lack of reporting was almost entirely
the reason for a relatively low rank of a tie for 341st.
This category called for reports on the amount of
publicity radio, television, newspaper, poster, films,
and so on devoted to safety features, plus special
programs, meetings and literature. There has been
a tremendous amount of this, but heretofore it has
been difficult to report it accurately, and it has been
necessary to rely on estimates or plain guesses.
THE safety organization in Medford, the Medford
Safety Council, was tied for 106th place in effec
tiveness. With more attention paid to reporting next
year, it is. logical to assume that this rating will also
be raised.
It is encouraging to note that the 1954 rating of
77th was itself a big improvement over the 1953 rat
ing of 211th. With more attention to reporting pro
cedures, and continued attention to safety itself, we
can look forward hopefully to a safer city and due
credit for the accomplishment. E. A.
Political Debates
We attended one of the debates between Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger and Congressman Sam Coon
recently. We are voicing no conclusions as to the
merits of the issues debated, but do wish to endorse
the idea of a political debate, as such.
At one time or another
eveiy sort of political shin-dig, from box-socials on
up. One of the great disadvantages of most political
gatherings is that they attract partisans of one party
and only seldom partisans
THE debate form of gathering, however, attracts
both Democrats and Republicans. It gets the issues
out in the open air- (sometimes, to be sure, in becloud
ed form) where they can be mulled over by all. It
gets representatives of different philosophies of gov
ernment together where they can be inspected ana
compared.
Political debates may not do much in the way of
changing anybody's mind
debate. But at the very least they give the audience
both sides, forcing them to recognize the fact that
there is another side, a fact which is too often ignored
in the one-party clambakes.
THE two-party system is, we are convinced, a Good
1 Thing. But too often it is hampered by the singular
insularity of convinced members of both parties.
The debate-is one method whereby this political
provincialism can be attacked.- E. A. v ' ' " '

Attlee Seems Certain
To Retire as Chief
Of British Laborites
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
"Dear old Clem" Attlee seems
to have made up his mind to
give up his 20-year leadership
of the British
Labor party.
There are re
ports from Lon
don that the
modest, color
less little man
who became a
Socialist by ac
cident back in
1910 will an
nounce his re
tirement when
manes McLaiiu parliament
meets next Week. In any event
there seems no doubt that he
has decided to go. It is expected
that, when he does, he will give
up his seat in the House of Cgm
mons too, perhaps to become a
peer and enter the House of
Lords.
Attlee is 72. He suffered a
heart attack last summer. He is
tired out after years of riding
herd on the highly undiscipled
labor party, chronically torn by
dissension.
It is expected that aggressive,
shrewd Herbert Morrison, now
deputy leader, will step into At
tlee's job.
But Morrison is 67. It is being
predicted that he will act only
as a place-holder for Hugh Gait
skell, the 49-year-old party treas
urer. He is the up-and-coming
man.
They call Attlee a mousy, un
inspiring man and a political
accident. But he has proved him
self a man of parts.
Clement Richard Attlee was-
not born into the Labor party
level of British society.
The son of a lawyer, he went
to an expensive "public school"
and to Oxford University. He
came, out a conservative and
an imperialist.
But it happened that a settle
ment house in .London's East
End needed a secretary and
Attlee was looking for a job.
Few Britons of Attlee's back
ground ever even get to the East
End. He saw for the first time
the bitter, grinding poverty in
which so many of his fellow
Britons lived.
Attlee was shocked and shak
en. With the resolution and sin
cerity that have marked him all
his life, he joined the labor
party.
He entered the Army at the
outset of World War I. He served
with distinction in the Middle

FIGHTING THE
POLITICAL CLICHES
Chicago There is such a
maze of political speculation
right now that it 'is almost im
possible to separate the ore of
solid judgment from the gravel
of wishful thinking.
In his trip to the mid-West I
have not talked to a single per
son, in and out of politics, who
has not asked me who would be
the Republican and Democratic
Presidential nominees next year.
Frankly and I wouldn't want
this to get around too widely
don't know. . '
What I do know is that a lot
of political cliches are being cir
culated which tend to make
opinions look as though ; they
were facts. It would be useful
to look these familiar proposi
tions squarely in the face and
see if we wouldn t get more light
by questioning than by accepting
them. -.
PROPOSITION ONE: That
President Eisenhower will select
or determine the 1956 Re
publican nominee.
We don't know. It's not in
evitable. We can take it for
granted that Mr. Eisenhower
would at least name a group of
potential candidates, any-one of
whom be would consider faith
fully and effectively dedicated to
his policies. Such a list could
easily include such names as
Chief Justice Earl Warren, Vice
President Nixon, Presidential
Assistant Harold Stassen, Tho
mas E. Dewey, Paul G. Hoff
mann, Henry Cabot Lodge.
But selecting a list of candi
dates is far from 'selecting the
one candidate. For the President
to approve a cluster of candi
dates would quite likely turn
the 1956 convention into a divi-
sive, lacerating contest among
bitter rivals which would weak
en the party and wreck its Pres
idential chances.
But there are those who have
reason to believe they know well
Mr. Eisenhower's way of think
ing and acting, who feel that it
would be absolutely out of char
acter for the President to select
and, in a sense, impose, a single
choice on his party if there is
more than one nominee he could
genuinely support. These people
may be wrong but it can't be
taken for granted at this stage
that they are wrong.
PROPOSITION TWO: That
with the President not run
ning, any of the leading Demo
cratic aspirants could be ex
pected to win.
They, wouldn't be virtually
sure at. all. They might have the
edge, but I have talked with
East atfd in France, and came
out a major after being. twice
wounded.
After the war he became may:
or of Stepney, in the East End.
Then in 1922 Limehouse, anoth
er East End slum district, sent
him to the House of Commons.
Despite his lack of color, his
lack of oratorical prowess, his
lack of combativeness, he rose
to be deputy party leader.
When George Lansbury, the
party head, retired there were
two rivals for the leadership.
Attlee was not one of them. But
"Clem" was picked because of
his sincerity and his gift making
himself liked and trusted by
all factions of the party.
He became prime minister in
1945 when Churchill was swept
out of office. He served through
the difficult years until 1951,
and made international, the same
good name he had made for
himself in Britain.
Sub-Chairmen Listed
For Jaycee Committee
Ten men have been named to
serve as sub-chairmen of the
Oregon Junior Chamber of
Commerce's Safety committee.
Thomas J. Reeder, Medford at
torney and chairman of the
committee, has announced.
Those named are George Wag
goner, St. Helens; Robert Lock
ting, Parkrose;. James White,
Salem; Jack Pegg, Madras; Jer
ry Slusser, Klamath Falls;
Dwight Nesbitt, Oakridge; Burt
Lindsay and Walter Bryant,
Pendleton; Harlan Hines, Alba
ny, and Jim Galloway, Ontario.
Reeder said the Jaycees plan a
vigorous and extensive safety
program in Oregon starting later
this year. The Jaycees will par
ticipate in Safety Day, Dec. 1,
which is part of a traffic safety
program initiated by President
Eisenhower last year. Harlow
Curtis, president of General
Motors, is directing the program
this year.
Reeder also announced that
the 1956 State Jaycee teenage
Road-E-O will be held in Eugene.
Industrial and home safety
campaigns will get underway
early next year, Reeder said.

By
Roseoe Drummond
numerous Democratic leaders
from several states' in ' recent
days, and they are not falling
into the dangerous psychology
that Mr. Eisenhower is the only
Republican who could win. They
probably give different reasons
than the Republicans will give
on why no Republican nominee
will be easy to beat next year,
but here are the ones they do
give in private conversation:
That the issue of "peace and
prosperity" will be hard to coun
ter.
That the Republican nominee
will have considerably larger
financial resources to throw into
the campaign.
That the overwhelming ma
jority of newspapers will again
support the Republican ticket.
That any administration in
power has special advantages to
perpetuate itself in office.
Other arguments could be ad
vanced, but these are the reasons
why the Democrats are wisely
taking nothing for granted.
PROPOSITION THREE: That
Sen. Estes Kefauver would be
a menacing threat to Adlai Ste
venson in the Democratic pri-
manes.
How do we know? They have
never opposed each other in any
primary. Sen. Kefauver won
thirteen out of fifteen Demo
cratic primaries in 1952, but he
aid not win them against Mr
Stevenson. Today, Mr. Stevenson
is the best man. most widelv
known Democratic aspirant. He
runs ahead of all Democratic
rivals in the Gallup surveys of
Democratic rank-and-file opin
ion. Nobody can say for sure he
would defeat Sen. Kefauver, but
the reverse is far from proved.
The Democrats enjoy belit
tling Mr. Nixon by suggesing he
is their "favorite" Republican
candidate. The Republicans rel
ish the prospect that a Truman-
Harriman axis may be in the
making . against Mr. Stevenson
which, could be evidence of
how much the Republicans
would not relish a Stevenson
renomination.
PRIVATELY THE Stevenson
people are concerned over
Mr. Truman's apparent drift
away from Mr. Stevenson. There
is no doubt that Mr. Truman
could seriously, impair Steven
son's nomination chances. My
own judgment would be that
while Mr. Truman's coolness
would make it harder for Mr.
Stevenson to win the nomination,
it might well make it easier for
him to win the election.

Matter of Fact By Jet
THE MORTIFICATION
OF MOLOTOV
Washington The public hu
miliation of Soviet Foreign Min
ister V. M. Molotov undoubtedly
means his
d o wngrading,
and probably
fores hadows
his eve n t u a 1
d i s g race and
dismissal.
But after a
close study of
the facts, the
experts have
concluded that
Molotov's mortification-
also
. Joseph Also
has a deeper- meaning. It means
the final triumph of. the new
Soviet policy of smiling, flexible
opportunism over the old Stalin
ist policy of rigidity and dogma.
As the experts interpret it,
a tug of war has been going on
in the Kremlin ever since the
h u m i 1 iation
and demotion
of Georgi Mal
enkov last Feb
ruary. The con
test has been
between Molo
tov, who has
fought for the
old Stali n i s t
policy, of
which he was,
after all, part
Stewart Alsop
author and
protagonists of smiling oppor
tunism, mainly party boss Nikita
Khrushchev.
The evidence which suggests
this conclusion is fairly ample.
In his letter which was publish
ed a few days ago in the maga
zine "Kommunist," Molotov con
fessed to a "theoretically mistak
en and politically harmful" er
ror . of doctrine. The supposed
error was so completely trifling
that it was clearly only a trans
pareAt excusfe for disciplining
the Foreign Minister.
But what is significant is that
Molotov's heinous doctrinal sin
was committed in the speech he
made last February 8th on the
occasion of Malenkov's down
fall. The February 8th speech
was right down the Stalinist line.
It repudiated the Malenkov state-

Hoover As Prophet
To the Editor: Oregon needs
a change, a senator that will
represent a majority of the peo
ple here in these uncertain
times.
Dissident Republicans do not
want a me-too candidate in the
senatorial primary.
Wayne Morse will never be
beaten by a candidate who has
no issue.
. The logical candidate to de
feat Morse is Dave Hoover.
Hoover was a prophet in 1950
when he opposed Morse while
most of the Patterson Republi
cans were riding Morse's coat
tail. And so let us nominate Dave
Hoover of Mapleton, Oregon, to

Such has been my observation
along life's path-ways.
Many interesting and varied
m-oblems are worked out
through this popular column and
I have one with a desire ex

As a younger man I was con
stantly seeking something
knowing not what but striving
toward a rule of life which I be
lieved would surely fit all situa

The soiritual personality of

ment that a nuclear war would
mean the destruction of commu
nism as well as of capitalism,
and it bristled with threats and
defiance. Experts in all the West
ern chancellories concluded that
a return to the rigid Soviet for
eign policy of the end of the
Stalin era was inevitable.
TUT there were immediate in
" dications that the Molotov
line was not necessarily the line
of all the occupants of the Krem
lin. Khrushchev and Prime Min
ister Bulganin-went out of their
way to make reassuring noises,
in interviews with William Ran
dolph Hearst Jr. Even more sig
nificant, when Yugoslavia's Mar
shal Tito bitterly attacked Molo
tov's speech, his attack was
widely published in the Soviet
press, without a word of defense
for Molotov. Western intelli
gence experts have no doubt at
all that Molotov fought hard
against the Khrushchev-Bulgan-in
policy of reconciliation with
Tito. His defeat on this issue was
followed by all sorts of evidence
that he was on the downgrade.
He was left out of the dele
gation that made peace with Tito,
at Belgrade, his place being tak
en by "Pravda" editor Dmitri
Shepilov. Both at Belgrade and
at the Warsaw conference broad
hints were dropped, and duly
picked up by the Western intelli
gence services, that Molotov was
on the way out. He played a
minor role at Geneva, and again
at the Moscow meeting with Ger
man Chancellor Adenauer. And
in all recent informal contacts
with Westerners Molotov has left
the talking about foreign policy
to- the talkative Khrushchev.
Against this background, con
sider these key words in the lit
tle noticed editorial which ac
companied Molotov's letter of
confession: "In the field of for
eign policy ... the separation
of theory from practice and at
tempts to cling to dogma cannot
be permitted ... the flexibility
of our foreign policy has caused
the enormous successes for the
policy of the Soviet Union . . .
and the relaxation of tensions
which has lately been achieved."
These words are a slap in the
face for Molotov for clinging to
dogma which really means
clinging to the policies of Josef
Stalin. Whatever Molotov's per
sonal fate and he has remark
able staying powers the slap in
the face means the shucking off
of the last traces of Stalinist
rigidity, and the final adoption
of Khrushchev's policy of smil
ing opportunism.
TT WAS not Molotov, after all,
but Khrushchev's protege
Shepilov, who made the care-
fuUy planned approach to Egyp
tian Premier Gamal Abdel Nas
ser which has led to the Soviet-
Egyptian arms deal. The deal is
no isolated incident, but the
beginning of a bold new Soviet
policy of using obsolescent arms
to stir up trouble and otherwise
serve Soviet ends all over the
world. .
Stalinist dogma ruled out the
delivery of arms to such "run
ning dogs of the imperialists"
as the Egyptians, Syrians and
Saudi Arabians. Stalinist dogma
also ruled out the neutralism
which has proved such a boon
to Soviet policy Indian Premier
Nehru, after all, was another
"running doe of the imperialists"
in Stalin's day. And smiling op
portunism has indeed already
achieved "enormous success," in
cluding the loosening of the ce
ment in the whole Western alll-
ance. So perhaps the mortifica
tion of Molotov is not such good
news after all.

Cripple Healed
GEO. N. TAYLOR
A cripple sat begging at the
temple gate. In his forty years
of life he had never walked nor
even
stood.
The Apostle
Peter passed
by and told
him, in the
name of Christ,
to rise and
walk. Instant
ly he leaped
up and went
into the temple
walking and
leaping and
praising God. This was done in
Christ's name, even though
Christ had ascended back up to
glory, Christ's name is all pow
erful with God "In Christ's
name," said Peter. Just as a rich
man's name makes good the
check you present at the bank, so
Christ's name makes good your
prayer with God. Hear Christ's
word "Whatsoever you ask the
Father in my name, he will give
it to you. John 16:23. Receive
Christ as your Lord and Saviour,
who died for your sins. Then you
can pray in His name and re
