MAIL TRIBUNE
The Street Program
. There is no doubt that $165,500 per year for 10
years totals up to a respectable amount of money.
That is the price tag for an arterial street program
which is designed to get Medford out of the big town
classification and make it into .a small city.
One can have few doubts that a program of some
sort, probably similar to this, is desirable and neces
sary. But is it worth the cost? -
.'
HTHIS is a question which only, the voters can answer.
And they can answer it only by deciding what the
job would mean to them personally. : V
Let's say that the present population of Medford
is about 20,000. (Actually, it is estimated at a bit more
than that, almost double what it was 15 years ago.) On
this basis, then, the program.would cost each individ
ual in the city an average of, about $8.25 per year, or
about 69 cents per .month .'or . a little better than 2
cents per day, to raise the city's portion of the total
cost. 'v- ':' ':. v -..v. v vv.
It doesn't sound like i quite, so much money that
way, although, of course, some people would pay
more than that and some less. '
THE question now arises: Is it worth a' couple of
cents per day, all year, long for 10 years, to have
a major street system which shows promise of doing
much to eliminate traffic jams, of making it possible
to go through or around the city more easily and in
less time, and in keeping traffic moving even though
the number of cars is increasing each year?
To those who operate automobiles, it is pretty evi
dent that the cost would be nearly offset by the sav
ings in gasoline alone, not to mention the satisfaction
of having an easier, pleasanter and more rapid drive.
THHE street proposal itself is fully set forth in a 23
" page booklet prepared by the city's public works,
department. Copies are available for inspection at the
city hall.
The plan was based on a more complete survey
of arterial street needs in and around Medford, pre
pared by the state highway department. The original
plan called for the expenditure of $10,870,000, by the
state, county and city, of which the city's share would
be $4,130,000. - ; ;. ;vV;;.;v:.;-;.- ; :
... The modified program, .as presented to the city
council for study last week, is far more modest than
this. More than $2,678,000 has been trimmed away.
' ' . .
A REVIEW of the smaller program indicates , that
" it is well thought out and basically sounds Any
one, we suppose, could quarrel with some of the. indi
vidual proposals in it, for in any project some people
think it should be done THIS way while others think
it should be done THAT way. 7 v
But, overall, it impresses us as a pretty good plan.
Our principal question is whether too much of the
original "ideal" proposal may not have been cut away,
and whether the curtailments 'are so severe that the
city might suffer in the future.
The bulk of the financial savings have been m
three categories (1) elimination of underpasses at
the railroad tracks, with grade crossings substituted;
(2) Narrowing of the proposed arterial streets, and
(3) elimination of seven of the original 20 proposals
altogether.
TO know how severely
more efficient than a cloudy crystal ball. 7 '
But, at the moment, that is not the important
problem, for if necessary it can be expanded in the
future.- v
The important thing is to get the project under
way. This carfonly be done by the people of Medford
becoming convinced that a street program of. this
nature is both necessary and desirable, and showing,
by th'eir votes, that they want it badly enough to pay
for it. E.A.
Youngsters at Work
The story in last Sunday's Mail Tribune which
impressed us more than any of the others was one
which had a headline saying "More Than 6,000
Youths Participate In Activities During Week."
It impressed us because it was proof of something
we have always known, namely: There are a lot more
good kids than there are bad ones.
rAY after day, week after week, the year, around,
the constructive activities of thousands of young
people go on. They are not always recorded in print,
for most of the doings are routine, and are not con
sidered as "news" even by those participating in
them. , 7 ;---;r 7-7v:. ;:y7-;; 7'':;r-';
It is pnly when circumstances and events combine
to focus attention on them that it is possible to gain
an insight as to their scope and importance: The range
of activities is wide, and the work done, is construc
tive. '" 7 7 .
In balance it appears that these activities have
more long-range importance than the fact that a mis
guided group of kids are stealing hub-caps from cars.
70R the fact that several thousand young people
in a period of a week can be involved in a variety
of interesting and significant activities has more po
tential good in it than in the fact that "juvenile: de
linquency,'1 a misleading phrase, is on the rise along
with the population.
Police Chief Charles Champlin is right when he
says it is important, for his department is called
into play when young people get off on the wrong
track.
And we all have a vital stake in seeing to it that
the school, church, scout and other work, backed by
the support of parents, leads to constructive paths
and, ultimately, to better citizenship.-E.A.

Timing of Dipfomafs'Sudderr
Reappearance Creates Mystery
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Soviet Russia's reason for ad
mitting, after nearly five years,
that Britain's two missing diplo
mats are in
Moscow is
likely to re
main a mys
tery. Experts on
Soviet policy
have suggest
ed a dozen
conflicting rea
sons why the
Charles McCann a d mission
should have been made at this
particular time. '
All that is certain is that the
Kremlin had a definite reason
and thought it was making a
smart move. .
Donald D. MacLean and Guy
M. Burgess disappeared from
London on May 15, 1951. They
made their , first public appear
ance in Moscow at a strangely
staged press conference, last
Saturday.
Long Known
It had been known beyond rea
sonable doubt for more than one
year that the two men were in
Russia. But as recently as two
weeks ago, high Soviet leaders
denied any knowledge of them.
It seems probable, then, that
two weeks ago the Kremlin had
no intention of making an early
admission of MacLean and
Burgess. .
Here are a few of the reasons
the . experts suggest for . the ap
parent change of mind:
It was to cause a split between
the United States and Britain by
spotlighting Britain's lax secur

the way for the visit Soviet Pre

Editorial Comment
(Editor's note: Medford is not he only Oregon city
plagued with the problem of what to do about downtown
off-street parking, as evidenced by the following editorial
from the Eugene Register Guard. It makes some comments
and suggestions which might be applicable in Medford.)
PARKING STUDY SHOULD BE MADE
We are glad to see that the
Eugene City Planning commis
sion is concerned about off
street parking in downtown
Eugene. It has been a little over
two years since city voters turn
ed down an ill-fated, off-street
parking proposal by a 6 to 1
margin.
And since that time, a feeble
effort to organize another com
mittee to study parking has ap
parently fizzled. In view of the
tremendous ' increase ... in traffic
and in the number of vehicles,
we cannot conscientiously sit
back and do nothing about it. '
The planning commission has
suggested that Mayor Ed John
son appoint a special committee
to study the parking problem in
downtown Eugene. The city
council vetoed a planning com
mission proposal to require new
businesses to provide thejr own
parking outside the immediate
downtown core area. 7
' It is one thing to say off -street
parking is not the responsibility
of a municipality and that it
should be accomplished by pri
vate concerns who desire shop
pers to visit their stores But,
will private initiative produce
the answer? In some cases, mer
chant's associations have joined
forces to provide off-street facil
ities but more often than not
they found the job too big. Oak
land," Calif., is ' ' an " example.
There the merchants have done
a commendable job but they are
urging the city -to step in and
help. .-" ;
We have some good examples
of private parking in Eugene.
Several of the big, new depart
ment stores . have their own
parking lots and the doctors of
the Medical Center building
have recently purchased a quar
ter block to add to their off
street parking area.
This is fine for the downtown
area. But what happens 10 or 15
years hence when one of the
present owners decides to use
off-street parking area for build
ing expansion or to sen to an
other party for an office build
ing when a price is offered that
is bard to refuse?
was a prelude to the Communist
party congress which opened in
Moscow yesterday.
Other Speculation
Some experts suggest that
MacLean, at least, helped to
write the two letters Bulganin
recently sent to President Eisen
hower. Others suggest that Mac
Lean and Burgess were "un
veiled" because the Kremlin had
no more use for them, and saw
no reason to keep them under
cover any longer. .
In The Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
Nogales, Arizona, just across
a wire fence and through a cou
ple of gate from Nogales, Son
ora, is the jumping off. place for
one of the great migrations of
recent history the rush of
American tourists into western
Mexico. . -
With.modern trimmings, it is
a parallel for the California gold
rush and the race into the Cher
okee Strip. There is a slight
difference in objectives, of
course. The 49-ers were heading
for California in search of gold.
Those who made the race into
Oklahoma's . Cherokee , Strip
were seeking land.
The Americans who are pour
ing into western Mexico are
hunting the sun. Otherwise, this
latest rush is a dead ringer for
the other two. ...
I
MIGHT add that results of
latest American migration
are just as satisfying as were
those of the other historic mi
grations. The 49-ers found gold
in California or at least a lot
of them did. The emigrants to
the Cherokee Strip found land.
In both cases those who made
good were happy.
In this particular season, EV

ation. . s
He met with the National Se
curity Council Nov.; 21 and the
cabinet Nov. 22 at Camp David,
Md., for the first time since his
attack.
He began taking on more work
in December. Heart specialist
Paul Dudley White said Dec. 17
the President soon could assume
a normal work load.
The President resumed full
time residency in the White
House Dec. 21 in time for
Christmas.
He flew to Key West, Fla.,
Dec. 28. He was back in Wash
ington 12 days later, resuming a
full work load.
The fact that off-street park
ing areas could be retained in
definitely for the general wel
fare of the community is the
strongest point for development
of municipal accommodations.
(There are many cities which
are acquiring off-street parking,
so we wouldn't be doing some
thing "unusual.")
About a year ago we suggest
ed a method of municipal off
street parking development that
we believe merits consideration.
1. City obtain option on sev
eral locations in the central busi
ness area as a start for off-street
parking. - Voters would then
know where the lots were and
how much they would cost.
2. With cooperation of the
merchants, establish a parking
district confined to the central
business area. ;
3. Based on the amount need
ed for purchase of lots, schedule
a vote by the city on a revenue
bond issue to be paid off by rev
enue from the lots and from on
street parking meters.
4. If the revenues, in any
year, should faU short of ; the
amount needed for bond retire
ment, levy an assessment to
make up the difference on the
properties within the parking
district. ... ' . . -
This plan would not have the
"stigma"- of a general obligation
on the entire' city.; However, the
big drawback now is that it ap
parently needs state legislation
to authorize cities to establish
parking districts.
7 Certainly the need for legisla
tion should be. a part of any
study undertaken. It could be
ready for action by the 1957
legislature. A bill of this type
died in the Senate local govern
ment committee during the 1955
session. ' -
Hardly anyone denies down
town parking is a problem that
need solving before the high
value areas of the city deterior
ate. A study and recommenda
tions by a widely representative
committee should gain the con
fidence of most citizens . and
lead toward positive action.

The Negro Vote 7
To the Editor: 1 would' like
you to know how very much I
enjoy your editorials, especially
the one in Sunday's Tribune en
titled "Adlai and :the Negro."
Most of your, conclusions are
sound, particularly as they dec
cribe Stevenson, the man. How
ever, I think, your, statement,
suggesting the N.A.A.C.P.
"pretty much controls . and di
rects the colored vote," needs
a bit of review. Your observa
tion would probably be true,
were there no other factors in
volved. There are two great groups
of colored people in America:
(1) The colored group in the
states of the deep South, where
their voting is almost whoUy
nil, and they are therefor po
litically inarticulate.-
(2) The colored group in the
states of the North, where they
do vote, and are vocal. ,
A laboring Negro in the
North, situated in the populous
centers like New York, Chicago,
Detroit-, San Francisco, Los An
geles, etc., belongs, mostly to one
of the C.I.O; vertical unions.
Such membership has . placed
him on a "par with his white
brother economicaUy. The
thinking of his white brother
is bound to influence his atti
tude politically.
Now remembering that the
C.I.O., as a body, is, rightly or
wrongly, antagonistic to some
of the views of the Republican
party, and that this organiza
tion (C.I.O.) a substantial part
now of the house of Labor, in
tends to go all out to defeat its
political enemies wherever they
may be found, you have a situa
tion where the northern Negro
voter is compelled to choose be
tween Rome and Caesar.
Therefore, the political choice
of his white feUow unionist,, as
wen as the union to which they
both belong, and in which de
cision he (the Negro) wiU have
a voice, will be the deciding fac
tor as to how he votes. In other
words, the northern unionist
Negro will pretty much vote as
the political philosophy to which
he is exposed wiU suggest, and
not because of a racial difficulty
in Alabama. - The N.A.A.C.P.
can no more deliver the north
ern Negro vote as a block than
can a labor union guarantee its
membership wiU vote either
Democratic or Republican, simp
ly because its leadership so sug

She's Against Fluoridation
To the Editor; Upon reading
that Portland was voting con

there, I expected to see some
thing in the paper that Medford
will be wanting to do likewise.

people wouldn't see it in time to
get in their kick. . -

poison being used which seemed
'to be the cause of the death of

Meanwhile, snows stretched
from Montana into Colorado and

at Cutbank, Mont., almost 50
degrees under the 71 across the

the phosphatases. It has long been
known that the enzymes and phos
