Long Step Forward
It is .with a feeling of real satisfaction that we
learn the Talent project, after a long wait and a hard
fight, has finally been granted 2,400,000 of construc
tion funds in the 1957 federal budget. This is another
long step forward in the progress cf southern Oregon.
In addition, $585,000 has been allocated for ad
ditional rehabilitation work on the Medford and
Rogue' River Valley Imgation districts' water distri
bution systems.
WHILE the Talent project has been the subject of
political controversy from time to timer essen
tially it is a non-political, project,1 and one which has
received enthusiastic bi-partisan support. For it is a
"good" project, one which is important to the valley,
its people and their future.
Allocation of construction funds, almost certain
to be passed by Congress with unified support from
the entire Oregon delegation, means that it is how
on solid footing, and that -we can look f orward confi
dently to work starting soon.
.,--
IN THE ordinary course of events, it would be-some-
time in late summer before work can start, due to
the fact that the appropriation is for the fiscal year
1957, which begins next July 1. But it is hoped that
an adjustment can be worked out to make construc
tion funds available sooner through a supplemental
budget request for 1956.' Planning is virtually com
pleted, and only the availability of funds, and the
process of putting it out for bids, limit start of the
work. "
One other element will be necessary the approv
al of the landowners in the Talent district. In an elec
tion to be held as soon as the details can be worked
out, they will have an opportunity to approve the
necessary repayment contract with the bureau, of re
clamation. IT IS scarcely conceivable they would vote down the
proposal.
The property owners of the Talent district must
be too well aware that in this project they have one
of the best guarantees ever presented for future eco
nomic stability and developing prosperity for the en
tire community farming and non-farming alike
not to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

A trip across the Green Springs highway to Kla
math Falls last week serves as reinforcement to our
long-held belief that the Rogue valley has it all over
practically anywhere you can name.
The staunch advocates of the "high desert" of
the Klamath Basin, of whom there are several, can
have it bleak, barren hills, treeless prairies, snow,
and all.

it rains less here than it does in the Willamette
valley to the north. And it snows less than it does in
the Klamath country to the east. It gets warm here in
the summertime but not as hot as it does in the
Sacramento valley to the south. And local fog, which
wre have occasionally, can't compare with the pea
soupers along the coast to the west. -
As we wound down the tortuous curves of the
highway en route home, we

someone said missed California and hit Oregon),

Another Preachment
The Oregon game commission has announced the
melancholy fact that 10 persons were killed' by" gun
fire during the hunting seasons last year. Forty-six
were wounded non-fatally
tions.
The total of dead was three less than, the year
previous, but the total of wounded climbed from 37
the year before, bringing the number of serious acci
dents to 56, compared to 50 in 1954.
'.
THERE must be a moral here somewhere.
Maybe it is that hunting is a dangerous sport,
Maybe it is that carelessness with deadly weapons
can be deadly.
It is for certain that some hunters pay no attention
to loud and repeated advice to be careful.
For the game commission points out that the
causes of all the accidents were among the "same old
bugaboos" of the past accidental discharge, mistak
en line of fire, loaded gun in car, improper loading or
unloading wreapon all in direct violation of rules of
gun safety. Most of the accidents occurred at short
range.

Matter of Fact
"THE MISERABLE ISLANDS"
Washington Behind the
smooth facade of public opti
mism, the Eisenhower adminis
tration is cur
rently driven
by a grave and
decidedly pes
simistic debate
about Far
Eastern policy.
The question
is how to deal
with a Chinese
Communist at-
Stewart Alsop 13CK On que-
moy and the Matsus, the little
islands that Chiang Kai-shek
still holds in the Formosa Strait.
This inconvenient question
has been put off for many
months, while the Communists
built up their military power
and pushed
forward their
logistical pre
parations ' i n
the Formosa
Strait area.
Despite the ap
pearances t o
the contrary,
Secretary o f
State John
Joseph Aisop uunes ana
other leading American policy
makers have argued that the Pe
king ' government was giving
first priority to its drive to get
into the United Nations; there
fore, it was said, the Commu
nists would avoid any taint of
aggression at this time.
A minority of policy makers
always contend that the Chinese
Communists would not miss the
smallest chance to realize a ter
ritorial claim, in order to gain
membership in the heavenly
choir itself. Whether rightly or
wrongly, this minority is now
becoming a majority, because of
a series of signs suggesting that
"This is where we came in be
fore."
II7HERE we came in before, of
' course, was last year's For
mosa crisis, culminating in the
evacuation of Chiang's forces
from the Tachin islands. The
pattern now is remarkably simi
lar to the first stages of the pat
tern of Communist pressure on
th Tachens.
AU the little warning flags
have already been raised. Com
munist reconnaissance planes
have flown over the Matsus
There has been a short but
sharp action between -Commu
nist and Nationalist PT boats in
the neighborhood of the Matsus,
Quemoy island, which is square
ly in the mouth of Amoy har
bor and almost entirely sur
rounded by Communist gun em
placements, has lately been
brought under heavy artillery'
fire.
In addition, the official Chi
nese Communist news agency
has bitterly accused the United
States of stalling in the interm
inable negotiations that have
just been resumed in Geneva,
between Ambassador U. Alexis
Johnson and the able Commu
nist diplomat, Wang Ping-nan.
The diatribe sounded very much
like a declaration that the pres
ent meeting would be Johnson's
last chance to offer Wang Ping-
nan what Peking wants.
Peking wants voluntary ces
sion of the offshore islands, sus
pension of the trade embargo
against Communist China, agree
ment on admission of China to
the U.N., and a lot of other
things President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles are unwilling
to concede. Maybe the Commu
nists are bluffing, and will not
move even if Ambassador John
son does not satisfy them. But
if they are not bluffing, what
must be expected this winter or
early spring is easy enough to
foresee.
rpHE second stage of the pres-
- sure on the Tachen islands
was the invasion of Ichang, a
small island within artillery
range of the main Tachen posi
tions, followed by a preliminary
blockade of the Tachens. This
preliminary blockade, rather
than the pleading of President
Eisenhower, was what persuad
ed Generalissimo Chiang to avac-
uaxe me lacnens.
Kaoteng, another little island
that is rather lightly held, has
almost exactly the same rela
tion to the Matsu islands that
Ichang had' to the Tachens. A
landing on Kaoteng is the first
step that is now feared.
After that will come heavy
artillery fire on the defenses of
both Quemoy and the Matsus.
combined with a Communist air
blockade that will cut off the
Quemoy and Matsu garrisons
120,000 troops, the core and
flower of Chiang Kai-shek's
forces from all contact with
Formosa. The surrender of the
off-shore islands and the loss
of Chiang's best troops must, in
evitably follow, unless the block
ade is broken.
The question the Administra
tion policy makers are debating
is what to do about this pros
pect that looms ahead. The of
ficial American policy concern
ing an attack on Quemoy and
the Matsus is to meet force with
force, if the attack on the off
shore islands is clearly prepara
tory to an attack on Formosa.
But the "if" is so big and all
important that this is nothing
but indecision dressed up as de
cision. .
FURTHERMORE, the Chinese
Communists are now locally
1 V5kL-
By Joe and Stewart Alsop
stronger than all the air squad
rons of the Pacific fleet, plus
an the units of the U.S. Air
Force in the Pacific, plus the
Chinese Nationalists. Except for
nuclear weapons, we have not
got force enough in place to
meet the force of the Chinese
Communists. Hence fighting for
"those miserable little islands,"
as they are called at the State
Department, now seems so un
appetizing that any such fight
ing is highly unlikely.
On the ground, therefore, that
it is always better to get ' out
voluntarily than to be thrown
out physically, one faction of
American policy makers is now
arguing for maximum pressure
on Chiang Kai-shek to start vol
untary evacuation of Quemoy
and the Matsus. Yet the climate
of indecision that produced the
prevailing "policy" concerning
the islands is still very strong.
Wait and see if the worst reaUy
happens, is likely to be the
motto.

More On Mrs. Lyman
To the Editor: It is difficult to
explain the complicated struc
tures within a welfare set-up, or
to defend actions, because of the
confidential nature of the work,
technicalities involved, and the
variations in cases and workers
Because of Mrs. Lyman's dismis
sal, this writer feels she should
speak out in defense as a one
time executive of another social
agency, and as a former case
worker under Mrs. Lyman.
Welfare work, at best, is a dif
ficult, trying, demanding, often
thankless job. Federal, state and
local agencies all dictate policies
which are overwhelming, and
often contradictory. Learning
these rules, keeping up with
changes, interpreting them to
statisfy the sometimes-conflict
ing ideas of the public, the
clients, and the agencies, plus
supervising the varying inter
pretations of 10 to 15 workers, is
a gigantic task. It calls for in
telligence, tact, understanding,
and integrity.
For 21 years Mrs. Lyman, as
worker, and then administrator,
has been ably coping with these
problems! Her understanding of
community problems has made
her instrumental in the creation
of other needed social agencies
such as the Child Guidance
clinic. She has also given far
more hours than required to the
position of administrator. Only
her prodigious memory of poli
cies, and .cases, has lent conti-
tinuity to the agency's work
when worker turn-over made
such continuity almost impossi
ble.
We always found her just and
equitable. Her virtue of never
prying into worker's private af
fairs may have, in this one case.
been a liability.
Even those working next to
him would not expect a fellow
social worker to try for "easy
money" m a welfare set-up
There are toomany checks on
such actions; yet the long and
intricate chain of processes, plus
time lapses, would allow some
one bent on theft to commit
such devious actions. It would
still behoove a fair administra
tor to assume innocence until
guilt is proved."
Judgment is often termed
"bad" only in retrospect. We
would not expect a bank presi
dent to be fired because he hired
an employee who later embez
zled funds, would we? And cer
tainly we would not expect to
give the employee a chance to
resign while dismissing the pres
ident!
F am sure most of us who
know her would say that Mrs,
Lyman's fairness, administrative
ability, intelligence, judgment;
and integrity are, beyond ques
tion, superior to many adminis
trators. I hope, for the sake of
the tax-paying public, the cli
ents, and future state employees
that petty politics, hurried judg
ments, bureaucratic tyranny,
lack of knowledge of the "grass
roots" problems, or other such
probable reasons will not take
precedence over justice.

New Constitution Marks New
Chapter in
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Egypt started a new chapter
in its long, long history today
with the Droclamation of a re
publican con
stitution. King
F a r o u k, the
portly playboy
who had ruled
it for 15 years,
was forced off
his throne by
the Army on
July 26, 1952.
On Jan. 16,
Charles McCann laod, the Ar
my S revolutionary Command
Council which took charge an
nounced that it planned a three-
year period of transition.
This period, the Army prom
ised, would be foUowed by the
establishment of constitutional,
democratic rule.
Today, at the end of the three
years, the Army took the first
step toward making good its
promise.
It fell to handsome, popular
Gamal Abdel Nasser, president
and prime minister,' to proclaim
the new Egyptian constitution.
It happens to be the day be
fore Nasser's 38th birthday.
Referendum Planned
The government plans to hold
a national referendum to seek
popular approval of the consti
tution. It also intends to organize a
constituent Assembly, for which
Egyptians will vote.
i This will be a semi-parlia
mentary institution, with largely
consultative powers, leading to
full parliamentary rule later.
Thus it may be a long time
still before Egyptian rule will
be put entirely in the hands of
the voters.
But Egypt is still a backward
country politically. The Army
may well argue that if it let
loose its hold on the govern
Editorial Comment
JUSTIFIED FORFEITURE
Public sentiment seems to be
pretty strongly behind Al Light
ner, the basketball referee from
Salem who forfeited a Univer
sity of California basketball
game to USC because the fans
at Berkeley were throwing pen
nies at him and presumably at
the players too.
Certainly nothing can be said
to justify the conduct of the
Berkeley fans. The University
of California administration is
significantly silent since the in
cident. No doubt there is consid
erable feeling of shame at
Berkeley. No school enjoys hav
ing the unsportsmanlike conduct
of its fans made public in this
fashion. ...
Many basketball decisions are
hairline affairs. It is easy for
partisan fans to become over
heated when they see decisions
going against the home team
particularly m a close game
Booing of decisions is all too
common; tossing solid objects on
the floor is unpardonable.

'I'M SORRY' SIGN
Something sorely-needed in
these times of traffic mistakes
and motorists' frayed tempers is
some way to signal, visually,
"I'm sorry."
Who hasn't felt foolish or re
morseful when he unthinkingly
cut into a lane ahead of another
driver only to have no way of
signaling his regrets to the of
fended one? Who hasn't wished
there was' some way to say
"sorry" to the driver behind
when a sudden stop had to be
made? Or to apologize to the
pedestrians who had to detour
around one's car caught strad
dling the pedestrian ' lane by . a
suddenly changing traffic light?
When a movie goer steps on
someone's foot in crawling to
ward his seat, an "I'm sorry" re
lieves wounded feelings if not
wounded toes. Similar apologies
smooth over a dozen non-vehicular
mistakes a day.
But what does one do when
making a mistake in traffic?
Shaking the head in sorrow may
only infuriate the other driver
into thinking the gesture is
aimed at his supposed mistake.
Smiling may elicit a dirty look
for not only erring but also grin
ning about it. A honk of the
horn is out of the question for
soothing ruffled nerves. So driv
ers inevitably end up glaring at
each other, though one may be
willing to admit he's at fault.
Some Detroit automotive ge
nius ought to put his mind to
work inventing some type of
"I'm sorry" signal. It should be

Highway Interim
Vilnesses Under
Oath At Hearing
Salem (U.R) Charges that a
weighmaster had refused to go
to the aid of a log truck driver
whose load had slipped and who
had been struck by a log were
dissipated Friday when the Leg
islative Highway Interim com
mittee held its first session of
putting witnesses under oath.
Testimony at the aiternoon
session brought out that Weigh
master James F. Downer of Coos
Bay dispatched a man to a near
by house to phone for state po
lice and an ambulance alter
a log slipped off a truck and
struck Eusene Creamer of Myr
tle Point at the Coaledo weigh'
station. C r e a m e r's load was
found to be 49 pounds over the
legal limit and he was "legal
izing" his load when the log
slipped.
Man Dispatched
Creamer and his wife, Sharon,
said they thought Downer ig
nored their plea for help. But
Downer and others testified that
Downer had dispatched the man
to make the phone call, had sent
another driver to Coquille in
case the phone call did not get
through, and then had directed
traffic around the scene of the
mishap.
State Policeman Wayne Tuck
er of Coquille confirmed Down
er's testimony that he had help
ed place Creamer on a stretcher
as soon as the ambulance ar
rived.
Testimony also brought out
that Creamer, after being ob
served at a Coquille hospital
was released the same day, last
July 12, and was back at work
later that week.
The testimony was an inci
dent in a dispute whether the
weighmasters should remain in
the Highway Department or be
put in the state police. One
group whose representatives had
brought the original charges
against Downer,, would like to
see the transfer. Other groups
say they are satisfied with the
operation of the weighmasters

Nasser Won Control
It is known that Egypt was
highly civilized nearly 7000
years ago Egypt adopted the
calendar in 4241 B.C. It reached
the height of its glory 3000
years before Christ. It came un
der the rule of the Roman Em
pire and later of Turkey. It
went under British rule at the
turn of the last century.
Now Egypt has emerged as
one of the world's new coun- 1
tries, along with its neighbors,
Libya and The Sudan, at the
northeast corner of Africa.
There were some critical
times in Egypt after Farouk
was overthrown. Nasser came,
out on top. At present he seems
firmly in control as his coun
try's No. 1 man, and he is likely
to keep his control.
There is abject poverty in
Egypt still. But Nasser and his
fellow leaders are pursuing bold
policies of internal reform, and
the country's 20 million people
may look forward to a better
future.

Funeral services were pending

Gilbert died here Saturday at
the age of 90. He had been a
pioneer in the Nonpartisan

organize the International Work

In 1917, Gilbert was charged,
with "interfering with and dis

at Kenyon, Minn.
He was convicted in 1918 and
appealed the conviction all the
way to the Supreme Court. The
conviction was upheld and Gil
