MAIL TRIBUNE
How To
The United Medford Crusade, which raises funds
for more than two dozen agencies that contribute to
the welfare of the community, is just on the verge of
success (which may have been announced by the time
this is printed).
The drive for Muscular Dystrophy, a mysterious
and as-yet unconquered disease, was concluded re
cently with results not yet announced. The TB Christ
mas Seal sale is underway. The annual March of
Dimes drive, to "finish off" polio, will start soon.
In recent months, and in the months to come, there
have been and will be a wide variety of other types of
appeal. Many of them will be to raise money to com
bat diseases, or to help the victims of disease. All of
them, to a greater or lesser extent, are worthy of
support.
jlOST of these fund drives are pretty well organ
ized, with executive secretaries and other paid
personnel, although each depends to a large degree
on the unpaid services of volunteers who feel the
causes are important.
It is a logical and perfectly admissible question
when one asks: Why'aren't all these lumped into one
drive? Isn't that what the United Medford Crusade
is for?
It is impossible for people of average means to
contribute to all of them in significant amounts, no
matter how worth while the endeavor. Would' it not
be better to "force" them to join the UMC, so that
when we give to that we can feel that we fire doing
our bit all at one time, with our gift to be appor
tioned where there is the greatest need?
TPHAT, of course, is the theory behind the unified
drives, which started a number of years ago with
the Community Chests, and has progressed to the
United Funds, which now include most of the major
welfare and character-building groups. Even the Red
Cross, for a long time a hold-out against the unifica
tion attempt, now joins community fund endeavors.
But a large number of the specialized drives
the National Foundation for Infantile .Paralysis,
which conducts the March of Dimes, is the most nota
ble example still insist on conducting their own fund
raising campaigns.
They believe, and apparently with some justifica
tion, that they do better financially that way, and in
addition retain their individuality which might other
wise be lost in the anonymity of a united drive. There
is more emotional impact in
is ordinarily possible in a
effort.
IT IS obvious that it would, indeed, be more "con
A venient" for everyone to have one, big, single drive
for funds, once a year.
But this is still a free country. If anyone wants to
get out and beat the drums and ring doorbells on
behalf of the Fund for Impoverished Newspapermen,
that is his, or her, privilege.
Conversely, if the person asked for a donation
wishes to refuse, that is his or her privilege.
Nobody is forcing anybody to give to anything
although some pretty high pressures can be generated
in some instances.
""THE community chests, and now the united drives,
have ways in which they can entice, or encourage,
fund-raising groups to enter the fold. They can with
hold approval of some independent drives, and there
by create a type of economic-threat-through-influence.
But they can't force them.
This can be, and has been, a sore point for organ
izations which feel they are entitled to public aid and
financial assistance, and in some cases has reacted
against the united fund efforts.
But the fact remains that the united drives in gen
eral, and the United Medford Crusade in particular,
do offer us an easy way to give to a great many worth
while groups. As to the other appeals, it is strictly up
to the individual to decide whether or not it is worthy
of support. And it is up to them and their sponsors to
decide whether their interests would be best served
by joining, or going it alone
THIS discussion has been limited to the recurring
annual appeals, but there are many others, too,
such as the current drive in Medford to raise funds
for construction of a new hospital, a single and con
centrated effort. There are also school carnivals,
parties and a host of other fund-raising attempts of
an endless array of organizations and groups, includ
ing school and college alumni organizations.
It is probable that all of them will continue to
receive support from the American people, who are
the wealthiest and very possibly the most generous
in the world. It's a fine thing, too. Each of the appeals,
except for a tiny minority which actually are rackets,
accomplishes some good.
But nobody can force you to give to any one of
them, or prevent you from giving, if you want to.

Matter of Fact by
KEFLAVIK AND DAHRAN
Washington Not one Ameri
can in a thousand knows how
to speU the name of the place,
but the fact is
on the con
sciousness of
most Ameri
cans, are what
makes it pos
sible for us
still to retain
our dwindling
margin of su
p e r iority in
the air-atomic
race. This is
why Keflavik
Greenland, Ke
Joeph Also
Thule base in
flavik is rated the second most
essential of all this country's
network of forward bases. Bases
like Thule, Keflavik, and Dah
ran in Saudi Arabia, little as
they impinge
that our air
base- at Kefla
vik, in Iceland,
is a vital ele
ment in our
national secur
ity. The fur
there fact ' is
that we are in
serious danger
of losing the
Keflavik base.
After the
Stewart Alaop
is important, and why the dang
er that Keflavik may be lost
must be taken very seriously
indeed.
The situation is simple enough.
Iceland is a chilly land of 160,
000 proudly independent people,
with a long tradition of isola
tion from the rest of the world.
The few thousand American
troops there, plus the heavy
spending required for the con
struction and maintenance of
the base, have had a tremend
ous impact on the little country.
By and large the troops are
well, even harshly, disciplined
(Keflavik is considered far from
a desirable assignment in the
Air Force). But there are in-,
evitable small incidents. More
important, spending on the base
has led to inflation and a short
age of labor. At the same time,
exports of fish, Iceland's most
important product, to the United
States have dropped sharply,
while Russian orders have mark
edly increased.
All these factors together
have led to a great outcry to
"kick the Americans' out." Three
of Iceland's five major parties
have made the cry their own
The Socialists, the National De
fense Party, and, mostly strident
ly of all, Iceland's strong Com
munist party, which has polled
up to 20 per cent of the vote.
To make matters worse, the two
conservative parties making up
the present governing coalition,
have fallen to squabbling with
each other.
V
HPHUS there is a good chance
that an election will be held,
perhaps next spring. The cen
tral issue will certainly be the
Keflavik base. And, although
the conservative coalition polled
a lead of about 9 per cent in
the last election, the anti-Amer
ican parties might well win this'
round. In this case, short of the
use of force, the Keflavik base
would almost certainly be lost
since this country's treaty with
Iceland provides for cancella
tion of base rights whenever
Iceland so wishes.
Nor is Keflavik our only en
dangered base. The perilous sit
uation in Morrocco threatens our
bases there. And the vital for
ward base in Saudi Arabia is
by no means secure for the long
pull. Since the death of Saudi
Arabia's magnificent old mon
arch, Ibn Saud, the Saudi Ara
bian government is sunk in a
welter of luxury and corruption.
Like such shaky regimes every
where, the government has cur
ried popularity by badgering
the foreigner in this case the
Americans. It is not at all diffi
cult to imagine a situation
like renewed fighting between
the Arab states and Israel
which would lead to the loss of
the Dahran base.
But the loss of Keflavik alone
would be enough to highlight
the appalling problem which in
creasingly confronts our Strate
gic Air Command. The fact is
that the Strategic Air Command
is entering a period when it will
be almost wholly dependent on
the medium range B-47 bomber.
The big lumbering old B-36 has
already been rendered virtually
obsolete- by the Soviet Union's
new "Flashlight" and "Farmer"
fighter planes. Production on
the long range jet bomber, the
B-52, is still insignificent, and
for" the usual budgetary reasons
it is likely to remain so for
years.
JT1HAT leaves only the B-47, to
-- do SAC's absolutely essential
job. And the range of the B-47
is such that overseas bases are
vital to its effectiveness. To be
sure, the B-47 can reach about
two thirds of the most import
ant Soviet targets from United
States bases, if it is refuelled
coming and going. But for this
purpose, the force of refuelling
tankers is desperately inade
quate. For this and other rea
sons it is officially estimated
that the loss of overseas bases

more in length in the United
States.
PI jMI
and Stewart AIsop
like Keflavik and Dahran will
cut SAC's striking power by be
tween two thirds and four fifths.
It may seem silly to worry
about such matters as bases with
unpronounceable names in small,
distant, very hot or very cold
countries. Yet it is not really
so silly when you remember that
SAC's ability to do its grisly
job efficiently is quite literally
all that prevents the whole
world balance of power from
tipping decisively in favor of
the Communist bloc.

Khrushchev Calls
Newsmen To Hear
Attack on Britain
Rangoon, Burma (U.R) So
viet Communist party boss Nik-
ita S. Khrushchev overruled his
Burmese hosts last night and
called in Western newsmen to
hear him accuse Great Britain
of "robbing the Burmese people
of their last piece of bread."
, The pudgy Communist leader
spoke at a banquet at Taunggyi
in Burma's Shan State. Burmese
officials, anxious to prevent new
clashes between the talkative
Russian and the Western press,
kept newsmen at a. distance
from Khrushchev and Premier
Nikolai Bulganin.
Calls for Newsmen
But Khruschev rose ' to his
feet at a banquet given by Shan
Premier Sao Hkun Hkio and
called for the newsmen before
he launched into the latest of
the anti-Western speeches he has
made throughout Burma.
- "There are some correspond
ents here who are not quite
satisfied with what I had to say
yesterday," Khruschev said.
This was a reference to a clash
he had with the newsmen Fri
day while touring Buddhist
shrines in Rangoon.
"I am making this speech
for their satisfaction. Why are
they not satisfied? Because I
am going to say that the English
were sitting here on your necks
and were robbing your peoples
and because it was done not for
your benefit or for raising your
standard of living but in order
to bring their civilization into
backward countries.
Last Piece of Break
"But we say differently. They
are sitting in these countries to
rob people and that's what they
(gesturing toward the corres
pondents) don't like because the
truth hurts."
Khruschev tangled with West
ern correspondents Friday while
he and Bulganin were being
shown around the famed Shwe
Dagon pagonda. He told the
newsmen that Burmese temples
were a thousand years older than
British shrines yet the "British
call the Burmese barbarians."

Plan 'Giveaway'
Portland CU.P.) Sen. Wayne
Morse yesterday described, the

"another giveaway to big busi

The Oregon Democrat said
the program would provide for
55 per cent interest on the $21,-

He said "that's nice business if
the bankers can get by with it."
Morse spoke at a meeting of
Inland Motor Freight and Pa
cific Highway transport lines
honoring the safe driving rec
ords of 49 drivers.
Sen. Morse predicted that the
Eisenhower highway bill would
be defeated during the next ses
sion of Congress, and praised the
825,000,000,000 road program of
Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.)
which would be financed by
taxes.
On Saturday, Sen. Morse told

in Portland that he planned to

stag, the dominant lower house

policy.
It must be remembered also
that any Communist threat to
Berlin is a threat to West Ger-'
many and will serve to intensify
hostility ato the Communists.
Adenauer demonstrated his
remarkable recovery from his
recent attack of pneumonia
when he addressed the Bunde
stag.
That was good news for the
free world.
Good news also was the fact
that Heinrich Von Brentano,
West Germany's new foreign
minister, took the leading part
in the debate and showed plain
ly that he is a man of strength.
When Brentano told the Bun
destag on Thursday that normal
relations between West Germany
and Russia will be impossible
until the Kremlin agrees to re
unification he was making his
debut in debate as foreign
minister.
Brentano No. 2 Man
Brentano seemed then to be
emerging more clearly as West
Germany's No. 2 man, and as
the probable chancellor if any-
thing happens to 73-year-oia
Adenauer.
Like Adenauer, Brentano has
come into international promin
ence only in the last few years.
He and Adenauer were the co-
founders of the post-war Chris
tian Democratic party.
Brentano is an exceedingly
keen-looking, smartly dressed
bachelor. Trained as a lawyer,
he is quick-witted in debate. At
51, he seems to have a long poli
tical career ahead of hi.
The Russians seem to hve the
whip hand in their ability to
keen Germany divided. But they
insist on the division only be
cause they fear unification."
It was announced in Bonn,
the West German capital, last
Thursday that 206,000 East Ger
mans fled to the West in tne
first 10 months of 1955. The
East German government is
strengthening its secret police
because it fears unrest. With
singular frankness, the East Ger
mans announced they might
have to introduce a draft law
because they can not raise vol
unteers for their police army.
In all the position of the West in
Germany is not as bad as it may
seem.

was hideous day and night. Men
tried to bind
him but he
snapped off the
chains, for

Jesus passed
that way and
cast out the
demons. Next,
you see the
man sitting at
Jesus feet and
in his right
mind. Jesus now tells the man '
to go home and tell the people
what the Lord had done for him.
So the man did, over the city
and all about. Mark 5th.
And you who believe? Tell
men that God put your sins on
Christ who then died for you."
You received Christ into your
heart as Lord and Saviour and
God gave you eternal life. Never
argue religion. Just tell them.
Then pray to God to convict that
one to whom you' talked. Most
saved souls are prayed-for souls.
