GaitskelL MAIL TRIBUNE The Ellsworth Law &Al Sarena Our attention has been called to the fact that the Ellsworth law, which many assumed would do away with the mining-timber-claim racket in Oregon, does nothing-of the sort. It will still be possible under this new federal regu lation for a smart' operator to secure, say $100,000 worth of government timber practically for free by proving up on a mineral claim that might not be worth over a thousand dollars. . The Ellsworth bill makes a few changes in the antiquated mining regulations and they are all minor ones. , TOR EXAMPLE: until the -patents to the' mineral properties have been granted, which might be for as long as five years, control of the timber on the land will be in the hands of the US Forest Service instead of the mining claimant. The claimant under the old law took over the timber immediately. - But if the claimant has the inclination and re sources to comply with the financial requirements for development of the mineral property in one year, in stead of five, he can do so. Then with the patent granted he owns the land including everything of value, not only beneath the surface but above it. Not bad for anyone who has taken the trouble to have the timber cruised beforehand and knows its market value. The Interior Department, of course, must be sat isfied the mining claim is a legitimate one. But judg ing by the El Sarena case this would not be hard to do. If the mineral examiners of the Forest Service should refuse to give their, ok, the Bureau of Land Management, also ; mining engineers elsewhere, any where from New York to Mobile, Alabama could un doubtedly be 'found to endorse the project, and cer tify it as proper for mineral development by any citi zen of capacity and "prudence." THE MALL TRIBUNE has always favored both min- eral development in this section of Oregon and timber operation and development also. But we can see no justification for the US government to throw in its timber as a bonus to should tnrow in its mines ber operators. "If mineral deposits m serve 'justify private development ok, let the own ers develop them, just as long and profitably as they can. If there are timber lands which justify private development and of course-there are ok again : sell them at a fair price and let private enterprise go to it. , . . . DUT WHY in the name of common sense and equity, mix them up either making timber a "free offer ing" for miners or making mines a free offering for the timber men. Neither holdings are private property but govern ment property belonging to all the people. . The law should, we believe, keep them separate, and treat applicants in both areas alike, with fairness to them, to the government and everyone concerned. No "give away" to either ! R.W.R. Adlai and the Negro There are many things we like about Adlai Stev enson, two particularly: " (1) Sense of humor. (2) Moral courage. ' These two qualities in a man seeking high office in this country are rare. The sense of humor denotes a well-balanced mind. Moral courage denotes strength of character. . . . These qualities would be valuable in a President but it is doubtful if either will aid the ex-Governor to win the Democratic nomination. TAKE STEVENSON'S stand, on the negro and school segregation problems in the South and par ticularly Alabama for example. The "well balanced" mind follows the reasoning of the Supreme Court decision namely : that while segregation is unconstitutional, there should be no haste in forcing school and college integration in the South because of the deep-seated prejudice in that part of the country against it. s The use of .force as Stevenson points out, instead of solving the problem' would merely aggravate it, and needlessly delay, solution. He therefore suggest ed the dale for a complete change-over of long estab lished Southern habits and traditions be set ahead as far as 1963 instead of trying to start to enforce the letter of the law by police force today or tomorrow. In other words the former. governor of Illinois advises patience and restraint, evolution rather than revolution in solving this problem, not because he ap proves of racial segregation 'but because he believes this the best method of getting rid of it, in the short est time, at the least sacrifice. : . A S STATED ABOVE; such a procedure follows the advice of the US Supreme Court. But it doesn't satisfy the demand of the radical negro group formed for the advancement of their race, and this group pretty much controls and directs the colored vote. For Mr. Stevenson to take such a stand took cour age, and undoubtedly was the result of careful study and thought; but if, "as seems likely, it means opposi tion of the negro vote to Mr. Stevenson's nomination, this might well prove his undoing. If it does it won't be a new experience to the 1952 leader of the Democratic jparty the only difference being he took the fatal stand then after he was nominated-instead "of before. That concerned the Tideland Oil issue, Candi date Stevenson was told if he opposed , this -"give away" he would lose the states of Texas; Calif ornia Sunday, February 12, 195S miners any more than it if any as a bonus -to tim the government timber re MCSftQt Of FdCt By Joe and Stewart AJsop THE GARDNER STORY Washington The reasons for the resignation of Assistant Sec retary of the Air Force Trevor rrE'l Gardner are like the layers of an onion. The out outside layers involve mat ters of person ality and orr ganization, as well as dusty old Pentagon Stewart Alsop rivalries. &UI when you peel down to the heart of the onion, you find a nugget of fact which involves the very survival of the United States. The real turning point in the Gardner story came several months ago. when almost certain knowledge be came avail able to the American gov ernment that 1ne Soviets had produced mis siles with ranges up to 1,500 miles. Gardner was Joseph Aisop mmseii re sponsible for the successful American effort to find out where the Soviets really stand in the missile race and this grim knowledge, in turn, led rather directly to his resignation. Before the Soviet success was known, the American long range missile program had been very much a one-man show. When Gardner come on the scene in the spring of 1953, as Air Force Research and Develop ment chief, the intercontinental missile, or ICBM, program had been a limping, low-priority affair. ., IT WAS wholly in the research stage, and Secretary of De fense Charles Wilson, who then tended to regard all research as wasteful nonsense, was getting ready to cut it out entirely. But Gardner, a man of strong views, protested loudly. Wilson at length agreed to submit the whole matter to a high-level committee of scientists, headed by Dr. John von Neumann. The von Neumann committee in turn recommended not only against cancellation of the project, but in favor of giving it the highest priority. Wilson thereupon put Gardner in charge of the program. In this capacity the strong-willed Gard ner made numerous enemies in the Pentagon and the aircraft industry. He also alienated the implacable Lewis Strauss, chair man of The Atomic Energy Com mission, when he publicly sup ported Dr. Robert Oppenheimer for his contributions to national security. Gardner's large array of enemies undoubtedly explains in part the charge of "conflict of interest" . which . has . been brought against him. - WTHILE making his collection ' ' of enemies Gardner spurred important-break-throughs in the long-range missile field. Then came the knowledge of the So viet success in producing the in termediate " 1,500-mile missile, known as the IRBM. This grim evidence that the Soviets were far ahead of this country in the missile field simply could not be disregarded. The Pentagon reaction took two forms. First a whole cat's cradle of missile committees was formed. There is a "top level coordinating- committee" headed by Undersecretary of De fense Reuben Robertson, another committee .under Secretary of the Air Force Donald Quarles, an Arm y-Navy . coordinating committee, and so on. Having run his own show, Gardner now had to report to this array of committees, as did others working in the long range missile field. The result was the maximum of organizational confusion. At the same time, Wilson ap proved a decision to undertake a "crash program" to produce an IRBM, and thus match the So viet success. "DECAUSE the Army had pro duced the much publicized "Redstone' missile actually little more than an improved version of the German V2 the Army was assigned the IRBM project. The Air Force auto matically resisted the Army's claim. So did Gardner, but not on the usual strictly bureau cratic grounds. Gardner argued that the IRBM, while strategicaUy of enormous value to the , Soviet Union, would have far less value to the United States. He con ceded that it was probably a mis take not to have tried for the in- fcMfFl II iJ and Florida at the outset and might lose more even tually. ' OOWEVER, he believed the "give away" wrong, so lj.e abandoned political expediency for what he believed-was right and he did lose those states and the election. But Adlai had the moral satisfaction of being true to himself and his convictions, and turning a deaf ear to the demands of Jiis less courageous political ad visers.' . " ' '" ' : : ' This is the one quality greatly needed in public of fice in this country high or low, and in these parlous times, seldom found. Win, lose or draw, Adlai Stevenson has it. . R.W.R. termediate missile in the first place. But now, he argued,. the only way to trump the Kremlin's ace was to be first in the' field with the true ultimate weapon, the 5,000-mile intercontinental missile. A crash program for the IRBM would, only cut into the limited technical manpower and resources available - for the ICBM, to which every available man and doUar ought now to- be devoted. - f -. " TUT Gardner lost this "'fight, " and partly as a result, 'his recommended budget for long range missile and other Air Force research and development work was cut on the orders of $200,000,000. At the same time, when Wilson at length decided to appoint a "Czar" to make some sense out of the organizational cat's cradle, Gardner was passed over as "too controversial." , Altogether, the man who al most single-handed saved the American long-range missile pro gram from total extinction . may be said to have been poorly re warded. But such personal con siderations aside, it is worth pondering the somber nugget of fact which is found at the heart of the. Gardner story the fact that the Soviet Union is unques tionably ahead of the United States in the life-and-death mis sile race, in the area where it really matters. ; Copyright 1956," New York Herald Tribune Inc. Today and By Walter THE MISS LUCY CASE As of now at the. University of Alabama the situation appears to be this: - Because the state govern ment of Ala bama has fail ed ,to main tain law and order on the campus of the state universi ty, the author ities of the un iversity have felt compeUed Walter Lippmann to yield to the violance of a mob. This has raised an issue with in the state of Alabama, as to whether a great question of pub lic policy is to be decided be cause a governor, instead of com ing to the support of the local police, has stood aside and let a mob have its way. Dr. Carmichael, the president of the university, was in the act of complying faithfully with the order of the court that Miss Lucy be allowed to attend class es. There is no evidence that the university authorities and the faculty were not prepared to comply with the law. There is no evidence that the students who attended the same classes with her were aroused to re bellion. The mob, consisting of some students and it appears a hard core of outsiders,, defied the local peace officers left un aided by the governor, and suc ceeded in terrorizing the univers ity authorities into denying Miss Lucy her undoubted Constitu tional rights. - -' x ITHAT is at stake in this sur- " render to a mob is whether Alabama is in fact, hot merely in name, a sovereign state. For what has happende in Tuscal loosa is a quite different kind of thing from what has happen ed in any of the other Southern state which are opposing inte gration in the schools. Nowhere else has resistance to the de cision of the Supreme Court been left to a mob. Nowhere else has the state government connived at mob rule, which is what Governor Folsom did. Whatever one may think of the legal reasoning in Virginia, for example, there and elsewhere the resistance is being carried out under the forms of law. ' That makes a difference as between night and day. For it keeps the issue on a level where, though it cannot be settled quickly, it can be treated by the civilized process of accommoda tion and persuasion. This will not no be possible where the state governments abandon their authority to mobs, and'the ques tion is raised of how far the authority and dignity of the United States are to be flouted. ON TUESDAY in Los Angeles at a meeting of Negro-voters, Governor Stevenson was asked whether as President he would, (By M-T Staff One Republican io another at last week's Lincoln day dinner: "They must have de cided io serve baked ham in order to help the hog market." The quirks and foibles of the United States Post Office de partment are sometimes difficult to understand. , For instance, we wonder why so frequently we get letters from New York, Washington or Hawaii either the day after or two days after they have been mailed, and yet we hear of a case where a man mistakenly addressed a letter to himself and mailed it, and had to wait five days to have it delivered back to him. - The manager of an establish ment in Jackson county which sometimes serves meals to lo cal clubs was taken to task for charging the regular price for a service club meal recently. The reason was thai one of the club's members provided a large share of - the m a i n course. Well, restaurants have to get along somehow. ' ''" ' '"' Remember that television set that was presented to the city council a while ago so members could watch Sgt. Bilko perform Tomorrow Lippmann if necessary, use the Army to enforce integration in the schools. His answer was the only conceivable answer that any re sponsible public man could make. He would not use the Army. It is ominous, however, that the question should have been put to him at all, that such a question should be asked of a man who may well be the Presi dent of the United States. It shows how very dangerous, how near to violence, is the situa tion. For we cannot afford to doubt that what Governor Fol som has just let happen in Ala bama a surrender to lawless force is precisely the kind of thing which will incite and pro voke a mounting demand for the use of lawful force. A number of politicians have been amusing themselves late ly with deriding the notion that moderation could be, especially among Democrats, the sound and true approach to - serious conflicts. Well, here in the wake of the Supreme Court decision, they can see in the . concrete how there is no decent prospect unless we can. preserve the spirit of moderation. They have here what is almost certainly the hardest and most dangerous in ternal American issue. They can see here how there is no way of dealing with it unless moder ate men backed by the great moderate majority of our people are able to take the lead. For the decision of the Su: preme Court must be carried out. But it can be carried . Out only by winning the consent of the people who must-live with it. The essential principle of . the Court's order is that a way must be found between that mob in 'Alabama which insists,, on absolute segregation, and those Northern ' politicians who ask -for Tederal coercion to bring about the immediate ending of all segregation. - - IN THE moderate course, which is the one that the Court calls for, desegregation is not one action, to be taken simultan eously everywhere. It is a com plex process which must vary with conditions in the different localities. The same kind and the same rate of integration cannot be applied 'everywhere at once, in the Deep Southland in the border states. Broadly speaking, it can be said, I suppose,' that , at the high er levels of education, the pro fessional and graduate schools, integration is most easily put into effect. Integration is most difficult, on the other hand, in the schools for teen-agers, among high school students and under classmen, in co-educational in stitutions for adolescents. There may well be parts of the South where ' integration at the . teen age level cannot "wisely be put into effect for .a long time to come. The country will under stand the difficulty, and it wiU be disposed, I believe, to feel that the Southern states are within the spirit of the Consti tution if, as many of them are already doing, they try to make integration work -at the higher education levels. That is another reason why the case of Miss Lucy, who wants to go to ' coUege to ' become a librarian, is such a setback to lawand to good sense. 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc. DOUBLE BONUS : f Adel, Iowa (U.R) The Adel Chamber of Commerce has of fered to double the bonus of spinsters who snare a husband during leap -year. The chamber offers a prize of $425 for the best letter telling "How I Got My Man." TLUCEC and Contributors) between ordinances? Well, the incident has gotten around. In a column in The Pan ama American, published in the Canal Zone, the incident is de scribed, and the writer specu lates on what might happen if the sponsors of the program had gone along with the council's original request and switched nights. "Just suppose," he says, "the sponsors switch the program to, say, Friday night. And suppose the common council of Podunk, which meets Fridays, protests. And they switch the program again and some other council protests. And then the same busi ness starts with other shows. Why, before we know it, we're liable to have no TV and a mess of unhappy common council men." Come to think of it, it's prob ably a good thing the council gave that TV set back again. - What, we wonder, is the per son who swiped the top part of an antique lamp from a . local eating establishment go ing to do with it? By itself it's useless, we are told, except as brass junk. Missing, it renders the rest of the lamp useless. And the whole lamp is about 200 years old a n d a family heirloom. . . This story is about a year old, but we just heard it, and it's true, so here it is: Two women were talking. No. 1 operates a business here in town and No. 2 is associated with her husband in the manage ment of another business. So, No. 1 approaches No. 2 and asked her , if it is possible to obtain reservations on short notice, as she frequently has friends from out of town who can't find a place to stay. No. 2 inquired if she was sure No.-1 knew to whom she was speaking. No. 1 said yes, she was sure she knew, and repeated her in quiry about space for friends on short notice. No. 2 then had to inform No, 1 that she and her husband were NOT in the motel business. They operate a cemetery. - We ran across an item we rather liked in a 1916 copy of the Mail Tribune today, . and republish it exactly as it ap peared. Only the names hatfe been changed.

' - .:. !n the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As previously related in these chronicles, the Spreckels broth ers took over the Coronado proj ect, from an Eastern railroad magnate (name of Mackey, as I recall the story) and carried the hotel through .to completion They pinched no pennies in its construction. v- ' They built it around an inter ior court that is a fair-sized city park in itself. They faced the rooms on the court on one side and outward on the other side, with, the most favored rooms overlooking the ocean. From the lowest level it is five stories in height.; I wouldn't - know hpw many rooms it contains. I doubt if anyone has ever counted them, . As of now, it is a weird look ing affair, with cupolas here and towers there and plenty of gin gerbread everywhere. But it must- be remembered tha the period of the 1880s was a period of strange architectural ideas. The simplicity and impeccable good taste of early New England and the Old South were giving way to doodads and thimgum- bcbs. ......... . But, in spite of the the tastes of the period, in which it was built, the old hotel has an im pressive dignity of its own. TTS MOST fabulous single asset A is its vast main dining room It must be a block long, with im mense windows opening on the ocean at one end and on the inner court at the other. It has a vaulted roof, supported by wood en arches. 1 ' I'm no good at figures and if I ever heard I can't remember how many it seats, but I'm rea sonably certain that an infantry battalion could be fed in it with plenty of room to spare. TT WAS built for the elite of an ostentatious period and con tained all the facilities necessary for the upper echelons of the so ciety of that time. There were extensive quarters for' the serv ants of the nabobs of the Gay Nineties and the registration books contained ample space for the listing of the domestic re tainers of the guests who were brought along when the . well en dowed families of the Eastern upper crust came to California to spend the winter. t The old Hotel del Coronado" had plenty of glitter in those glittering days that now are past. ALL OF which leads me up to what -nsalltr lmnrpcoe: mo about the old place now. Europe has plenty of these ancient .and time - honored hostelries that Editorial Comment GAS LOBBY WINS We wish President Eisenhower would surprise folks and veto the bill to free independent pro ducers of natural gas from fed- , eral regulation. We do not ex pect him to, nor do the Wash ington reporters. The Federal Power Commission doesn't want the job, and some administration committees favored dropping it. On matters like this the Presi dent seems disposed to go along with his advisors, so he prob ably wUl sign the bill as he also did the bill giving to states con trol of resources in offshore lands to tradional- limits. The vote in the Senate was: for the bill 31 Republicans, 22 Democrats; against, 14 Repub licans, 24 Democrats. The bill is a big boon to the oil and gas companies who furn ish natural gas to the pipelines that thread, the country. True gas has to compete with fuel oil, but the big concerns can match the price increase for one with an increase for the other and win two ways- Regulation now can be only partially effec tive. Ex-Gov. Charles Sprague in Oregon Statesman, Salem. THE S.P. HEARING It is something over six months ago since the Southern Pacific arbitrarily discontinued the last passenger service on its Siskiyou line between Ash land and Portland, now comes Public Utilities Commissioner Charles Heltzel with an order for a public hearing on the situ ation. Hearings win be held both in Roseburg and Medford with the Medford session scheduled to start the morning of March 15. Individuals and representatives of organizations in Jackson coun ty will have an opportunity at this public hearing to present their opinions and cases on the need for passenger train service between Southern Oregon and Portland. If the purpose of the hearing is only to determine whether the railroad is providing reason ably adequate service for the XT . a area, me answer is odvious, lor there is no railroad service now. If the purpose is to determine how much usage there might be of passenger service and its general need, then it is wholly incumbent upon interested indi viduals and ' organizations to make a strong showing. This means that individuals who would use railroad passenger service and organizations who believe it would benefit the area must appear at the hearing either in person or through the presentation or written material acceptable to the examiner in charge.

With the extremely lucrative freight revenues which the SP derives from this expanding area, it is almost inconceivable that the railroad is unwilling to provide one passenger sched ule over the Siskiyou line. The SP contended that it was losing hundreds of thousands of: doUars a year on the old service, which it ; summarily . discon tinued. Yet we can not recall that when it discontinued these two trains and saved this money, that it made any gesture toward passing this 'saving on to the freight shippers through lower rates. Just the contrary. The SP is now busily engaged in seeking, with other railroads, a general seven per cent increase in its. freight charges. Ashland Daily Tidings, i. were built for the rich and the great. Since they were built of stone, they never burned. And They NEVER CHANGED. They were built for the rich and the great, and they have re mained the. habitat of the rich and the great. At least they did until a few years ago when Europe began to be swamped by the tide of American tourists. No European commoner has eve:: islt at home in them for in them he has always been OUT OF HIS CASTE. TT IS TRUE that the old Coro- naao was duiii ior trie rich and the great. And it is strangely true that despite the fact that it was built of wood it has never burned. That is doubtless due to the fact that it was earlv equipped with automatic sprink lers that go on when a fire starts anywhere and promptly douse the flames. So it has remained as a monument of the past. But, 'inlike its counteroarts in Europe, it has changed with the times. No longer is it the exclu sive bailiwick of those who have it in wads most of it inherited. Its stately halls are now trod bv s. the feet of Americans of aU kinds and its spacious grounds now nn with the laughter of the children of the AMERICAN PEO PLE. Its swimming pools and its tennis courts are used by the teen-agers of parents who never heard of the Social Register. Only in America could that happen.
