MAIL TRIBUNE As to Truman s China Policy The Luce publications, particularly "Life" and "Time" are with the possible exception of "U.S. News and World Report" the most extremely partisan peri odicals in the country. It is not surprising therefore to note that while "Life" paid half a million to print f ormer President Truman's memoirs or portions of them it should attack them at every opportunity on partisan political lines.' In the current issue Mr. Truman at considerable length explains the failure of his effort to secure a truce between the Chinese government under Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese commu nists, and thus restore peace' to that disrupted and war-ridden country. TN FORMER President Truman's opinion, and that Of his special envoy, General George Marshall, the prime reason for this failure was the refusal of either party to accept a cease-fire in good faith or for any length of time. Neither would abandon the belief that if the war were resumed, they would eventually win. This was especially true of Chiang. It was, in short, an impossible situation except on one condition, namely: for the United States to enter the civil war on Chiang Kai-shek's side'and drive the Chinese Reds out of the country establishing a stable democratic, and perhaps permanent government. TT IS Life's apparent belief that this should have been done. But as Mr. .Truman remarks in his memoirs at THAT time, over, very few Americans would have supported "all out war" in China and even Life would no doubt agree it would have taken accomplished anything, of sequence, as the destruction in that vast country. . Moreover what would the meantime? Sitting supinely on the communists were slaughtered or pushed into the Arctic ocean, and two of her arch enemies, National ist China and the capitalistic United States, estab lished their authority from the North Pole to the South China Sea? It hardly seems likely. And if not that, then what? World War III of course. Would "Life" have sup ported such a war at THAT time? Of course not! JNor tne American people. rHE only hope for China then, from the standpoint of democracy is its only hope now THE CHI NESE PEOPLE. If, as many believe, the practically 100 per cent against their "Red Oppres sors then "Life to be consistent, snoula get busy and at once. It should demand implementation of its .faith in, and devotion to, Chiang Kai-shek; it should demand U.S. military and naval support for a Nationalist invasion of China from Formosa. If public feeling is as represented, then the, Chi nese masses could be armed and organized and as Chiang has often claimed, Mao and his fellow Red despots would soon be running for the hills. DUT somehow we don't expect Life to do anything of the sort. It will continue to blame President Truman, General Marshall and Dean Acheson for the loss of China, but it will be decidedly backward about coming forward with any proposal of a concrete na ture, to right this alleged great wrong. Yet if its thesis is correct the wrong should and could be righted. It would take some hard fighting and many lives as well as millions, but probably far less in both directions, than would have been re quired as far as the USA is concerned, if the Truman administration had DONE a decade ago what the Luce publications now condemn it for failing to do! R.W.R. As to History The Life editorial chides our former President for outlawing the critics of the Marshall mission, as victims of "hindsight." , Not so says Liberty. The debacle was. due to Mr. Truman's failure to read history and profit by it his critics are not guilty of being wise after the event, but Messers Truman and Marshall are guilty of being unwise at the time of the event. So says Life. "History" according to the magazine consists of what Life regards as mistakes of the Democratic ad ministration, in the China crisis. That is rather an unusual view to take of history. J IFE might with more profit look to the history of China and Russia. Has Russia ever accepted an anti-communist nation, large or small, weak or strong, along its borders? Will it without a fight? Has China ever been conquered? Can it be? Was there any historical evidence at the time of the Marshall mission that the people of China wanted, or would support U.S. intervention on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek? Or did history point to the exact reverse? And would not the reading of history pretty well establish the fact that neither in China nor any other country, can a government long endure, which hasn't the enthusiastic support of its people. History can work both ways, in this China con troversy. R.W.R. - ' Sunday, January 22, 135S with World War II barely an "all-out war" to have such world shattering con of the Soviet movement Soviet Russia be doing m side lines, while her fellow- people of China are today Today and By Walter THE SOVIET FORMULA AND OURS Mr. Bulganin has now ad dressed himself to the Latin American countries, using the same iormuia with which the Soviet' Union is operating in the Middle East and South Asia. It is fan to say that our own corre sponding poli cy is unsettled, Walter Lippman what with the strong opposition represented by Senator George and Senator Knowland, what with the weak ness of our general position in the so-called uncommitted re gions of Africa and Asia. We are at the beginning of a long debate in which we shall in fact be at tempting to form a policy that works abroad and is approved here at home. " TN THE under-developed coun tries the basic formula of the Soviet operation is not foreign aid but managed trading. They do not profess to be giving any thing for nothing. They rather prefer, except in unusual cases, to make it clear that they are not giving away anything. What they talk about is the exchange of their own manufactured goods for the agricultural products and raw materials of which the Latin Americans, the Asians and the Africans have surpluses. From Egypt they have taken cotton, of which there is a glut, in pay ment for arms and other manu factured goods. From Burma they are taking rice. From Cuba they are taking sugar, from theJ Argentine livestock, and so on and so on. The fact that their dealings almost always appear as two way transactions has enormous political value. Congress may dislike giving aid. But the best and proudest nations-hate to be the recipients of aid. The Soviet formula is for them ever so much more self-respecting. It means, moreover, that they do not have to deal with nurse maids and chaperones in - the form of missions and visiting Congressmen who come to in spect and supervise the use they make of our bounty. WO CAP the climax, the Soviet operating formula does not do what Senator Knowland would have us do namely, to demand the signature to a military alli ance as the price of receiving foreign aid. In fact the Soviets make hay by proclaiming that they are not demanding just what Senator Knowland de mands. This makes dealing with In The Day's .News By FRANK JENKINS In a jam-packed session in his not-too-big oval-shaped office in the White House, President Ei senhower tells the Washington reporters (in answer to pointed questions) that he will announce his decision on a second term "as soon as it is firmly fixed in my own mind." He added: - "I shall strive to see that it is based as to my best judgment on the good of our country." "DEFERRING to a formal notice "that his name has been enter ed in the March 13 New Hamp shire Presidential primary, he said he has no objection to his name being entered in the New Hampshire primary or any other state primary. Reasonable enough. He didn't enter his name. .Somebody else did it. It was done by petition. The constitution of the United States guarantees to the people the right of petition. Entry of his name in a Presi dential primary commits him to nothing. IJIHE BIG question: Will he or won't he? pUT IT this way: We'll see what we'll see. -It is Ike's decision, and his alone because it is Ike's life that is at stake. A T THE conference, the Presi--dent reaffirmed his complete faith in State Secretary Dulles,' but declined to get into the con troversy over Dunes' "brink of war" statement in a recent maga zine article. He told the reporters that in his own view, in waging peace, our country has got to stand firmly on essential matters. He added that if that brings on the danger of a conflict because of aggressive actions by others, you can regard it as a brink. AS I SEE it, that's about the --way it is. If you're to amount to any thing at all in this world, you must have principles. If you have .principles, you must be willing to stand up for them. If you have to FIGHT for. your principles well, you have, to fight for them. Any other course involves RUNNING AWAY and if we Tomorrow Llppmann the Soviets doubly attractive in these countries. For it enables them to play off the Soviets against the West, getting favors from both, aligning themselves completely with neither. The Soviet formula has three main elements. The first is the ability of the Communist orbit to absorb and to use surplus food and raw materials. There seems to be no visible limit to that. The second element is the capacity of the Soviet Union to export arms and manufactured goods not only to China but to the countries beyond the fron tiers of the Communist orbit That capacity is presumably still quite limited. But if the sixth five-year plan, recently announc ed, is fulfilled as we may expect it will be, the Soviet capacity to export will be very consider able. The third element is that the Soviet Union's political in terest is not to make allies of the Arabs and the Hindus but to neutralize them as allies of the West. In competing against the So viets using this formula, we can whenever we make up our minds to do it, de-emphasize the mili tary pacts. That will pain Sena tor Knowland, But it would be the part of wisdom. As to the second element, there is of course no question' of our capa city to export manufactured products and capital goods. The real difficulty is what to take in return, how to be paid if at all. For broadly speaking, the United States and the Western nations have surpluses of almost every agricultural product and raw material that the under-de veloped countries are trying to sell. s . VET, inasmuch as the Soviet A Union is willing to take a substantial part of the surplus in any particular under-develop ed country, it will be able to play a very important role in the industrial development of that country. That will of course carry with it political influence. The problem for us, and for the other Western industrial na tions, is how we are to play an adequate part in this industrial development. I say adequate part because I take it that the time is past when the West can be the sole supplier of capital goods to the under-developed countries. The Soviet Union has entered the field, and these countries will not wish to ex- elude her. For they believe that they have much to gain by ex ploiting the possibilities for them in a condition of competitive co-existence.

JN CONCLUSION: France's new national assem bly (chosen at tne recent rencn election, and corresponding roughly to our congress) con venes in Paris. It is expected that French President Coty will begin his search for a new French premier (the French na tion's chief executive official, early next week. In France, that's a good deal like starting a new search to find your - misplaced glasses. That is to say, it's a search that in France is going on more or less all the time. yHAT' S WRONG with France? The answer is simple: too many politicans And too few statesmen. Mayor's Brother Named Salem's First Citizen Salem E. Burr Miller, long time automotive and petroleum dealer here, has been amed first citizen of Salem by a chamber of commerce committee. The honor - was conferred in recogntion of Miller's long re cord of civic work, including the presidency of the chamber, the community chest, Lions club, and activities in other groups including the Memorial Auditor ium association, 4-H work, Cher rians, Boy Scouts, TB associa tion, and others. Salem's first citizen, named last week, is the brother of Earl Miller, mayor of Medford. Damage Suit Filed In Circuit Court A complaint filed Friday in circuit court by Donna Nelson, 408 Beatty St., seeks $43,206.70 damages from Robert Yarnell, University of Oregon student, as the result of a traffic accident Feb. 13, 1955, on Spring st. Ro bert Boyer is Miss Nelson's at torney. , The complaint charges Miss Nelson suffered serious injuries when the sedan in which she was riding, driven by Yarnell, left the road and overturned. She seeks $25,000 general damages, $2,206.70 medical ex penses, $1,000 future ' medical expenses, and $15,000 loss of wages.

Opposed to Fluoridation To the Editor: I have read with much concern the editorial entitled Fluoridation by the Ore gon Statesman, which appeared in the Wednesday issue, Jan. 18, of the Mail Tribune. . As Oregon state president of Natural Foods Associates, a non profit organization ' on record against the fluoridation of pub lic drinking water, I feel it my responsibility-to write this reply. I feel impelled to defend those who in all sincerity oppose the fluoridation of drinking water, knowing that the policy of the Mail Tribune is to give space to all points of view. On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the Mult nomah County Medical Society went on record rescinding their previous action and is now op posed to the fluoridation of pub lic drinking water at this time. This action is a complete re versal of previous endorsement, and coming at this time, one would assume that it must be a result of additional knowledge which was not available earlier. The report of the congression al committee investigating flu orides states: 1. "Fluorine is a gas, and is found naturally in combination with various mineral salts as a fluoride compound. These com pounds are very poisonous." 2. "Proponents of fluoridation rely heavily upon . . . the vital statistics of communities which have had natural fluorides in their drinking water for many years." "Natural fluorides are different from the chemical flu orides proposed to be used in this mass medication experi ment." . 3. The committee further stat ed that since the question was raised at the hearings, the "com mittee wishes to point out that the fluoridation program does constitute medication, and medi cation with which the entire population must necessarily be treated" ... "It is safe to say that fluoridation is mass'medica tion without parallel in the his tory of medicine." ' 4. "The committee believes that if communities are to make a " mistake in ' reaching a deci sion ... it is better to err on the side of caution." Dr. Frederick B. Exner, Fel low of the American College of Radiology, University of Wash ington, in testifying before the congressional committee stated: "You will be told that all flu oride ions are alike, regardless of the source, which is true. You will be told that, because of that, the effect of sodium flu oride can be expected to be the same as that of fluoride natural ly occurring in the water, which is absolutely false." J.- Verne Shangle, 1445 Kings Highway, ' ' Medford, Ore. Calculated Risks To the Editor: Regarding John Foster Dulles and his "calculated risk" policies, I wonder where the U. S. would be today if our forbears had not constantly taken such actions. It is true that some risks involved us in warfare such as the War for Independ ence. It is my theory nowever, that where the results were war. it would have eventually hap pened anyway, and with the possibility of a much better pre Dared foe. Had we not stood against England when we did (she was forced to keep large contingents of troops for a pos sible European conflict) she may later have brought much more force to bear on us. un xne oxner hand, as an example of a calcu lated risk keeping us from fur ther trouble, we can read of the rpmipst hv the U. S. to Napoleon III in 1867 to withdraw French power from Mexico. They read ily did so, realizing our large arm pH fort-P lust after the Civil War, was such they couldn't refuse. We were as well prepared in 1946and had we then told Rus sia to contain itself, she could not have risked conflict with us. Hence there would have, been no powder keg in Europe, no Red China, no Korean conincx, nor "Brink of War" in Indo- Ihina. These tragedies are all results of hesitation to risk. Th British cress has been ad versely criticizing Dulles. . We must remember that their own Neville Chamberlain, in avoid ing calculated risk, kept them from war with Hitler, that is until Germany was so well es tablished throughout Europe it took possibly three times as long defeat them. It is not foolish conjecture to believe that had Chamberlain warned Hitler (upon occupation of the Rhine) to back off or else, that there would have been no demolished Eu rope. At the worst, if this risk had resulted in immediate con flict, ' Germany could not have been able to endure, nearly as long as she later was able. The anti-thesis of calculated risk is "peace at any price." Is this what we want, jumping and yessing when Moscow so di rects? If we are courageous enough to adopt calculated risk policies, we must" of course arm sumc- iently to avoid making un-calcu- POT LUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) This may be a little confusing. but here goes Names of members of the newsroom staff seem so similar, in at least three instances, that these days sometimes even staff members aren't sure who they are. We can, therefore, appreciate the confusion of Chief of Police Charles Champlin when he re ceived a note asking him to call Earl Allen at the Tribune. But who should he call? Earl Adams? Allen Reed? Eric Allen? The chief, a detective to the last, used a process of elimina tion in solving the problem. P. S. To complete the confu sion, please note the fact there is a Communication on this page today signed by Earl Allen, who we swear it) has no connection with anyone mentioned above. Big Egg Department: A big red hen owned by Mrs. Wendall Sites, Table Rock rd., last week produced a big white egg four inches long, 7Vi inches around. Inside were two yolks, the standard egg white, plus a complete sep arate egg. Do three times constitute, as the old saying has it, the charm? We suspect the Ruel K. Rians Jr., 1031 West 10th st., hope so. until about a year ago, they lived at Toketee. While there, Ruel often drove his pickup truck along roads where work men were felling trees. On two separate occasions his pickup was hit by falling trees once near the rear, once near the front. WeU, about a week ago the pickup was sitting quietly near the garage. Without warning, ap parently without reason, a large oak tree (about three , feet in diameter and 35 or 40 feet taU) suddenly fell over on to the gar age. Mrs. Rians, who was doing some laundry in the . garage, managed to escape through the door just as the blow on the top of the garage slammed it behind her.. The garage was virtually demolished, and most of the things in it, including 'a station wagon, were damaged. As for the ill-fated pickup, it was parked outside and the tree clipped it about in the middle, this time. No one hurt, fortunately. But maybe Ruel looks at trees a bit more apprehensively now than he used to. . - - The Mail Tribune once in a while (shall we confess it?) makes a mistake. When this happens, we are always sin cerely sorry and our collective conscience suffers perhaps more than the public realizes. Recently we made the inad vertent but unpardonable er ror in listing a boy baby as ; a girl baby. But instead of the expected cry of wrath from the father, he was quite cheer ful about it. When he read the error in the paper, he rushed back lp the hospital to check ' again just to make certain. A large number of devoted volunteer workers are doing a lated risks. This then leads to National Defense vs. Balanced Budget. We can't afford to bal ance the budget so well that Moscow gets the country as well as its budget Then we wouldn't have taxes of course, because we wouldn't have any income. Build our defenses second to none, and take our calculated risks for a peaceful future. James A. -Rodger, . 157 Clover lane, Medford, Ore. Rainmakers' Success? To the Editor: You will recall that a few weeks before last Christmas, the California Ore gon Power company served pub lic notice through your paper that rainmaking operations were to be undertaken in what consti tutes the headwaters of the Ump qua, Rogue and Klamath rivers. It would seem that they met with huge success and really should apologize to a lot of peo ple for getting them so wet. It's surprising too that the rainmaking organization which they had employed, has not done some bragging. Maybe they drowned too many Kilowatts and got fired? Bryan Pierce, ... 516 West Jackson St., Medford, Ore. P.S. According to the law of supply and demand irrigation rates should be much lower now, unless there is some scheme for charging the farmers double for what they didn't get last- year. B. P. More Poor Folks To the Editor: If we have been caught up in a wn-lwind of progress and prosperity for the past seven years, how does it happen that we are getting more poor folks all the time? - Since 1948 families with in comes of $2,000 per year and less have increased 11 per cent. They now number 10 millions. In an other category we find 4 million farm families with incomes of $3,000 per year and less. While this has been going on the na tional income has soared from 225 billions annually as of 1948 real job of soliciting funds for construction of a new hospital. And, believe us, if the reports we get are correct (and we be lieve they are) a new one is need ed. ' Sacred Heart hospital, for in stance, reported that on Jan. 19 the following things were includ ed in a partial listings of hap penings there that day: 8 a.m. staff breakfast for 48 doctors, using the cafeteria and hall because of lack of space. Right after the, doctors left. Providence Guild members ar rived to sew some things for the hospital. From 2 to 5 p.m. 86 persons were x-rayed at the regular weekly clinic. Guild members helped. During the day there were 13 operations. In the maternity ward, 12 babies arrived. Patients totaled 77, for a grand total of 89 (counting babies). The foUowing day, 11 patients were admitted before 8 a.m. - Busy, busy, busy and crowded too. , At Tuesday night's council meeting, there was a large sign right in front of City Attorney Frank Farrell. It read: "Pre sented by KBES-TV." This doesnt' really mean he is a former chattel of the TV -station. The sign actually re- -fers to a TV set which earlier had been given the council, and which sat fox a time on the lawyer's desk. Seen from the newsroom win dow: A law-abiding citizen, possibly from the backlands, drove his shiny car into a parking place on North Fir st., walked to the rear of the auto and began to feed coins into the parking meter there. As he did so, a woman drove into the parking space directly behind his car, and watched as he dropped in the coins. With the job completed, both strolled on their separate ways, appar ently satisfied that the demands of the law had been complied with. We are informed, by way of Central Point, that D. W. Rob- . ertson, who owns rental prop erty in Medford, learned about two minor accidents of a week or xwo 090. Ill U1B I 1 I I a bicycling boy, son of a tenant of Mr. Robertson, was hit by the son of a former tenant. In the other, the cyclist was the son of a former tenant, and was hit by the motoring moth er of a prospective tenant. - - nir '.

But when we got down to work we) were as good as good can be, and actually seemed pleased to ba doing lessons once more. It's too bad that we can't be this way always." Amen, Marcy. to above 300 billions as of 1955. The national average per family income has risen to the all time high of $4,173. In another category we find 22 or moderate income groups with incomes from $3,000 to $10,000 per year. Statistics are available which are supposed to be cor rect that state that families with incomes of $3,000 per year and less have very few debts. Fam ilies with incomes of $10,000 per year and more have practically none percentagewise. Then it must be the middle low income groups that are carrying the 37 billions of mortgage and con sumer credit debt load. When ever, we have 14 million families, or 56 millions of our population, j in low income brackets,' 22 mil lion families or 49 percent of our population carrying prac tically all debt, how can we say that we have social progress and prosperity?
