MAIL TRIBUNE
Governor Patterson
Governor Patterson was a good man and a good
Governor and his sudden and tragic passing will, we
believe, be more generally and genuinely mourned
by the people of the state, regardless of party, than
that of any other occupant of the executive mansion
in recent years. - - ' ' ''
For although "everyone . didn't agree with him
politically every one liked and respected him.
The Governor had thai rare' quality in modern
politics, of the courage of his convictions, but the
ability to oppose those who did not share them, with
out making them his enemies,
.
THE present writer was not one of; Governor Pat
terson's intimates in fact the Mail Tribune op
posed his election but since then we have followed
his record, met him a few times and only a few weeks
ago hadijuite a talk with him regarding the summary
and discourteous dismissal of Mrs. Blanche Lyman
as director of County Public Welfare !- ;
' Although the Governor did not share the Med
ford reaction of resentment and extreme indignation
he did understand it, was willing to make allowances
for it, but was unwilling. to retreat a step from his
position, because he believed it to be not only right,
but the only. one that he could conscientiously take
from the standpoint of the state and nation. .
....... a ., ...... , , .
"IITE .CAME, away from that conversation with a
-far greater respect and higher regard for the
Governor than ever before, arid we believe that to
have been far from an Exceptional : experience for
those who politically opposed him, but as time went
on-arid they got to know him better, had a higher
and higher opinion of him both as the state's chief
executive 'and as aperson." : , " '
What we .liked about the Governor in this par
ticular case especially, was his clear, objective en
tirely- logical .analysis, , without passion or rancor,
combined with a mild but absolutely FIRM refusal
to make any concessions
revolt , on the ground 01 personal or political
considerations. ; -r , .
That took real moral courage -and revealed as
neverrbefore, to the writer at least, the real caliber
of : the man. f
There are all too few of them in public life today.

Dr. White and the Whale
Dr. White, the President's vheart specialist, is
about to depart on a whaling expedition. He wishes
to put a stethoscope to a whale's chest and thereby
learn something that might be of value in his effort
to check the appalling growth of fatal heart disease
in humans. " V' 3 V '-.
r? - - We wish him every success. We also hope that hV
will be able to secure a substantial increase in federal
aid to research iri the realm of cardiac ills and com
plicationsunder the circumstances, and. with the
President's aid, he .should have little difficulty in
this direction. .. : -;- -- :
.:-. ' .' ' : v
- i
THE great need, from a layman's point of view, at
1 least, is to find SOME way of detecting heart troiK
ble, or a tendency in that ; direction BEFORE . a
serious attack instead of after. ' .
With the sensational advance in all departments
of preventive medicine, particularly . during . recent
years, it would seem that to expect some progress in
this direction, would notvbe unreasonable. :
1 There was a time, for example, when diabetes
was regarded as incurable. High blood-pressure' was
in much the same category, v " ' ,
But of course both ; ailments could be detected
in advance. As a result, medicines were perfected
which, while they can't CURE these diseases they
can check them, so the victims many enjoy many
years of reasonably healthful and useful lives. -
Perhaps "Moby Dick" can, in his big-hearted way,
give ' up' some clue as to how a ..tendency to heart
trouble may be detected in advance and a regime
of rest and quiet prescribed before the seizure, in
stead of after. T.
Certainly if this harpoon expedition of the Mas
sachusetts specialist should result in some material
advance ; in this direction, Dr. White's contribution
to . human longevity and health would rank with
those of the greatest medical benefactors of modern
times. R.W.R. .. -
Ellsworth Sees Possible Flaws
In Federal Education Bill '
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Congressman Fourth District
Washington, D.C. ' (Special)
The first big bill of this session
wiU be on the floor of the house
in a few days. This bill, to pro
Vide federal assistance in the
construction of school class
rooms, is generally referred to
as the legislation to carry out
President Eisenhower's recom
mendation: ' ' ''
.'Actually, as reported by . the
House committee on education
and labor, it is closely related to
the President's plan but differs
from, it in several important
respects. The Administration pro
posal was to authorize $250 mil
lion a year for five years. The
bUl calls for $400 million a year
for four years.- The -Administration
proposed to make grants to
states on the basis of need in re
lation to a state's population,
taking also into consideration
the. effort made by the state to
meet its own need. The KeUy
bin simply proposes to make
available to each state an amount
arrived at by multiplying the
number of children between the
ages of 5 and 17 by $11.30.
Some states now have ade
Thursday, February 2. 1956
to the Jackson County
quate classroom facilities but
under the KeUy bill the money
will be there for aU if and when
such states decide they do need
it. I am afraid this method of
allocation will have the effect
cf ultimately shifting a heavy
portion, of the cost of building
schools over to the Federal gov
ernment. I am going to listen
carefully to the debate on this
part of the bill. The KeUy bill
formula might be the best but I
doubt it. I feel inclined now to
vote for an amendment using the
President's idea.
So far as Oregon is concerned
we wiU gain nothing in dollar
aid from this bill. In fact we
would be just a little better off
if the federal treasury would
merely let us keep the amount of-
money to be paid by Oregon tax
payers for the support of this
program.

Today and Tomorrow
v. By Walter Lippmann
THE BULGANIN
EISENHOWER LETTERS
The letters of Bulganin and
Eisenhower reflect plainly that
we may call the dualism of
their meeting
at Geneva last
July. They
were agreed
then that with
nuclear weap
ons war has
become intoler
able but they
were agreed
on nothing
waiter Lippmann else. The sub
stantive agreement about war
remained, and both letters ad
here to it.
But what is'called the Geneva
spirit meant in July, as it means
todaythat each side hopes, be
lieves, or insists, that the other
side ought to be agreeing with
it.1 There has been nowhere on
any concrete issue a serious offer
to negotiate. The Soviets have
not budged an inch from, their
pre-Geneva position. In fact,"
they have become stiffer about
unification and the two Ger
manys. And we have not moved
from our' pre-Geneva position. :
It is usually assumed that this
political deadlock since Geneva
is contrary-to ( the accord reach
ed at Geneva. In fact, it must be
said, I believe, that it is the com
sequence of that accord.. Re
duced to its elements, we have
a political stalemate iounaea
upon the Eisenhower-Bulganin
accord at Geneva that there is
a military , stalemate.' Neither
side, feels itself under serious
pressure and neither side is con
ceding anything; for the time
being the situation in Europe
remains in status quo. t
AS THE President' says in his
-" reply to Bulganin, there is
no point in making .a treaty
which reaffirms what is already
agreed to in the United Nations
chartgr and has been, we. may
add, reaffirmed by the exchange
of pledges at Geneva.
If two men have signed a
solemn contract, it will not re
duce the tension between them
to propose that they write the
same contract aU over again. It
is much more likely to arouse
suspicion. The President's rejec
tion of the .proposed bilateral
treaty rests on a sound decision,
and the manner of his doing
it is in excellent temper. "
But for myself, I could wish
.that he had not?, implied ythat
the spirit of Geneva requires the
Soviet - Union to agree to our
proposals, particularly those
about Germany. That is not and
was neyer in the cards, and the
hope that it might be has always
been .'wishful thinking. What
inight have been expected after
In The Day's
By FRANK JENKINS .
- In .the course of business in
the city of San Francisco this
morning I need a notary. You'd
think' that finding a notary in
one , of America's biggest and
busiest cities would be duck
soup; '' ' -. v
THIS modern business world
would have given Grand
father what in his day he would
have caned the fantods.
In our. bigger cities, you are
apt to live in the suburbs and
take a commuter train or a bus
to your -place of work. If so, you
arrive around 9 iri the morning.
By the time you get a look at
your mail and answer and
make the normal number of
morning telephone calls, it will
be time for morning coffee.
You return'1 from the morning
coffee session and the telephone
girl giyes you a list of the people
who have called while you were
out.
YOU go through the list hav
ing to catt back several times
on account people wko have gone
out a little late for THEIR cof
fee and then it's, time to go
to lunch.
rpHE afternoon is more or less
- a replica of the morning.
You return from lunch fuU of
vim and vigor and food, and
wade into your remaining mail
You see the callers who come
in to see you while you were
out for coffee and missed you
and had to come back later.
Maybe, if you're important
enough to have a secretary, you
call her in and dictate a few
letters.
BY THEN, it's time to. go out
for afternoon coffee.
Returning from your coffee
break, you re-enact the routine
of the morning picking up the
list of people who called while
vou were out and calling them
back. You're delayed, of course,
by the fact that a lot of them
are out for their afternoon cof
fee, and you have to keep can
ing unti? they return, which an
noys you because you've simply
GOT to get your letters back and
get them signed and into the
mail and get your desk cleaned
up in time to go out for cock
tails and if you're late at the
cocktail hour you'U be apt to
miss your train or your bus and
in that case you'll be late for
dinner at home.
the July meeting was that there
would take place a continuing
exchange of serious and con
crete views on aU the areas of
conflict. Geneva did not prom
ise agreement on any concrete
issue. It did promise a much bet
ter diplomatic contact. This
promise has not been fulfilled,
and this is the real disappoint
ment about Geneva. -.'
rpHE Western powers have not
-been in good diplomatic con
tact with the Soviet Union over
the situation in the Far East and
in the Middle East. They ought
to be. We should not find our
selves, as apparently we do, in
a position where we do not talk
with Moscow about the issues
in those parts of the world.
In the Far East,. for example,
the Soviet Union can say things
in Peiping that nobody else can
say,' just as the British can say
things in Washington. And in the
Middle East, where the radically
new factor is the presence' of
the Soviet . Union, inability to
talk may weU be the fatal handi
cap to any solution. For, while
it may be a sound policy not
to invite the Soviet Union to
enter into formal engagements
beyond her obligations under
the . United Nations charter it
cannot be sound policy not to
be talking to the Soviet Union
about the Middle East.
That would be like deciding
not to notice the elephant that
has strolled into the dining
room.
-.-.
TVHE President's letter refers
f- obliquely and indirectly to
the Middle East when; it criti
cizes the Soviet - Union "for
embarking on a course which
increases tensions in historical
international disputes. The Pres
ident might well have ' asked
Bulganin whether he is prepared
to discuss the Middle East from
the point of view. Of the increase
of tension. To be sure this would
probably mean -discussing not
only the .Soviet arms deal with
Egypt but also the Baghdad pact
to which the Egyptian arms deal
seems to have been the Soviet
reply. Provided that the discus
sion were confidential, more
good than harm would be likely
to come of such a discussion..
For the basic trouble in the
Middle East is. that the region
has become an arena of the con
flict of ;the great powers. The
basic trouble is not the Arab
Israeli conflict, ugly and ob
durate ..though , it is... For : that
conflict is ' by no means insolu
ble by mediation and compro
mise provided that the great
powers, which, include the Soviet
Union,' will support, will 'not dis
rupt, the mediation. Y

Matter of Fact By Joe
ARMS AND THE MEN '
Washington A short look
at the present status of Israel's
reauest for American arms all
too clearly re
, veals the knot
tiness of the
Middle- East
ern problem,
with which
President Ei
senhower and
Prime Minis
ter Eden are
now wrestling.
Stewart Alsop
the Egyptians
Ever smce
made their deal
to buy Soviet arms from Czecho
slovakia, the Israelis have been
clamoring to get American arms
to true up the balance. In par
ticular, they have been pressing
for the latest
model
F-86
fighters,
to
guard them
against the
MIG-15S and
Il-28s which
the Egyptians
are now incor
porating in
their air force.
Joseph Alsop J-ne quanury
of F-86s demanded by the Is
raelis is downright trivial no
more - than a few', dozen. Their
entire arms buying program
amounts to only $50,000,000. Yet
no request of this character has
ever produced such division of
council within the American
government.. .''.:,''' r
In the background of tlie
Israeli request, in the first place,
there is a clearly implied threat.
Ever since the Egyptians made
their arms deal with the Soviets,
important Israeli leaders, even
including Prime Minister Ben
Gurion, have been talking about
launching a preventive war
against Egypt. "
-...
rpHE Israeli Foreign Minister,
Moshe- Sharett, and the Is
raeli Ambassador to washing
ton, Abba Eban, have thus far
opposed the1 activists, as Ben
Gurion and his sympathizers are
called. Sharett and Eban had no
advance warning of the Israeli
raid into Syria, for which Israel
has now been censured by the
United Nations. After the raid,
there, was some reactfon against
the activists within the Israeli
government, and Sharett's posi
tion was strengthened.
But both ; Sharett and Eban
are now warning that unless
Israel's fears of . Egypt canbe
lulled by an increase in Israel's
defensive strength, the activists
will soon gain the upper hand
again . in Jerusalem. "Sell us
arms," they say in effect, "and
we can guarantee .there will be
no war." The alternative, that
war will be likely if arms are
refused, is only too clearly im
nlied. On January 25, Ambassador
Eban made an urgent attempt to
push through the arms deal be
fore the arrival of Prime Min
ister Eden. He first saw Assist
ant Secretary of State George
Allen, who gave him a dusty
answer. This Eban refused to ac
cept, and insisted on seeing Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles. Dulles received him, but
also gave him a dusty answer.
' .
THUS an Israeli preventive
war is a rather early possi
bility, if the activists are not
bluffing. There are even indica
tions of how the conflict may
be precipitated, by the Israelis
beginning work on a canal to .
divert Jordan river water at:
Jisr Banat Yaqub, above Lake;
Tiberias. The attempt to divert !
the water which the Syrians also
claim would presumably draw
Syrian fire. The fire would be
returned. And a general explos
ion between Israel, Syria and
Syria's ally, Egypt, would then
ensue.
Why, then, did Dulles give
Eban a dusty answer? ine ex
planation is simple. The Ameri
can Intelligence and all tne
American Embassies in the Arab
states are unanimous that Amer
ican arms sales to Israel will
suggest that the Kremlin has
a lot of internal problems to
deal with.
For one thing, it is quite evi
dent that, the agriculture situa
tion in the Soviet Union is bad
and that Khrushchev himself
is to blame. : " ;; v
Khrushchev long - ago took
overaU charge of the agriculture
situation. He sponsored some
grandiose plans of develop
ment. They included the plant
ing of millions-of acres of new
land and the shifting of hun
dreds of thousands of youths to
eastern regions. ' V i
A number of these plans have
come unstuck. In Russia, the
blame has been put on anybody
available for the role of whip
ping boy. Anybody but Krush
chev, .in fact. ';
The Kremlin is pursuing right
now an unprecedented campaign
of penetration all over the
world. It is meddjing in the Mid
dle Eastern arms situation. It
is trying to penetrate into Latin
America. 1
The menace of Russian Com
munism to the free world can
not be discounted. But the Krem
lin also has its troubles. -
and Stewart Alsop
automatically push the, Arab
states into something very like
alliance with the Kremlin. This
view is strongly endorsed by the
British. One of Prime Minister
Eden's chief objectives in Wash
ington has been to reinforce the
United States government's re
luctance to sell arms to Israel.
The Israelis claim, of course,
that if they are left weak while
Egypt is strengthened by the
Soviets, the Egyptians will jump
them later on. Equally, of course,
Egyptian Prime Minister Gamal
Abdel Nasser has indignantly
denied any intention to attack
Israel. United States Ambassa
dor Henry ; A. Byroade believes
these assurances from Nasser.
'
"DUT in Nasser's speech on the
" new Egyptian constitution,
the Egyptian leader publicly
proclaimed his ambition of unit
ing all the Arab lands, conspicu
ously including French North
Africa. In effect Nasser also pro
claimed a future Holy War
against Israel. There are those
in the Administration who think
Nasser means what tie says to
his own people, and does Hot
mean what he "says to Ambas
sador Byroade. i ".''..;'
(, - On top of this,jAssistant Sec:
retary of State Allen has been
urging Ambassador Eban to per
suade the Israeli government to
offer some territorial concessions
in order- to jet a peace settle
ment with Egypt.. Eban has been
arguing that the Egyptians would
riot accept-the limited conces
sions proposed by Allen. And
Ambassador Byroade has now
in effect confirmed the view of
Eban, asserting that the Egypt
ians will not be. satisfied with
anything less than the cession
of the Southern Negev.,
The Israelis say , they will
fight rather than cede the South
ern Negev. The British want us
to join them in trying to force
Israel to make a settlement ' on
the same terms that the . Israelis
say they will fight to prevent.
And so the cat's cradle of risks
continues to grow more tangled
by the day. :

First Colored Pictures
To the Editor:- It was year
1910 in February we . saw our"
first colored pictures on a screen
silent films then; it was on
the Pantages Theatre circuit,
where Emmet Dalton appeared
in person to illustrate the scene
of the notorious two bank hold
up re-enacted at Coffeeville,
Kan., Oct., 1892, by the Dalton
brothers and accomplices. Em
met, the youngest survivor of
the gang, then only 19 years old,
was sentenced to Lansing prison
where he was pardoned about
15 years later, because of a
wounded left arm that never
healed.' The picture ended , up
by a colored view of the beauti
ful cottage with clinging vines
where he and his wife lived at
Barttlesville, Okla., after their
marriage where he returned, a
changed character.

I pondered most carefully the
reply I am now making. As I
see it, the D.O.s are far too
enlightened, too dignified, too
courteous, to reply to an attack
so palpably undeserved. Espe
cially as it amounted almost, and
altogether to a professional in
sult. Perhaps I should be guided
by that example.
However, I might have ignor
ed an insult to myself but when
my friends are attacked without
reasonable , cause : i -r sometimes
forget myself and revert to
anger and show a vicious streak.
This was one of the times. And
I make no apology.
I look upon the attack upon
the D.O.s as unwarranted, un
provoked, and vicious, and tot
which there is. no excuse, other
than possible envy, jealousy,
and a desire to destroy. -'"

"In Lieu of Flowers"
Parents, sending out invitations to the wed
ding of their daughter, would not say "In lieu
of a wedding gift, please send the young
couple the cash!"
Just as you would not tell people what to
do regarding wedding gifts, isn't it logical that
you also not suggest hotf they should pay their
respects to someone who has passed away?
Flowers of remembrance are never bought
and paid for with money alone! -
