MAIL TRIBUNE Good Veto, Wrong Reasons The veto of the Natural Gas measure by President Eisenhower arouses more enthusiasm in this depart ment than ius reasons thereof. President Eisenhower explained his action not on objections to the provisions of the measure but on what he termed "arrogant tactics on the part of seg ments of the gas industry' congress. . , A CCORDING to press mind the claim of Senator Case of South Dakota that the head of a certain California gas and oil com pany had through a well known lobbyist contributed $2500 to his (Case's) campaign fund, in an apparent effort to influence his vote. ; Because any - investigation by the Department f T . flit 1 il - ' J J oi justice, oi mis ana otner improper tactics on tne part of the bill's supporters could not be completed within the ten-day limit for a veto, Mr. Eisenhower said while he approved measure, and believes the gas and oil industry as a whole innocent of any wrong-doing he feared that his approval of the legislation could well create long term apprehension in the minds of the American people and do a disservice both to the people and their congress. ' . - IN other. words if Senator Case of South Dakota had not "squealed" and the presentation of this modest sum to his campaign, had not been publicized Presi dent Eisenhower would have signed the bill and all would have been well and quiet on the Potomac. "117E don't wish to be unduly cynical, but if all the "profiteering and give-away measures" present ed to the congress the last few years, which were ac companied by campaign contributions to various and sundry legislators, had been vetoed, we fear the slaughter would have been something terrible for the Big Boys to witness. Moreover, according to the law this would not be corruption. Not onlv does the law recognize the lobbyist as a perfectly proper repre sentative of special bills or business interests; ,but campaign contributions with, as Lobbyist Neff ex- plained, "no strings attached" imagine a lobbyist admitting strings were attached ! are also quite within the law, and 'according to Washington (D.C.) Hoyle. . Imagine what the Big Oil lobby paid out in such "contributions" forf votes in favor of the Tidelands Oil grab for example. In comparison this $2500 con tribution to Senator Case would be, as one lobbyist termed it, "peanuts." - , OOWEVER, in that case there were no "leaks," so 1 favoring the basic purposes of that measure also, there was obviously no excuse for a veto from the White House. - The opposition to this measure in both' Houses of Congress, however, was not besed upon any irregu larities, improprieties or arrogances but solely upon the profiteering provisions of the measure itself . Behind the smoke-screen of alleged "private enter prise," and service to good citizens clamoring for a cheaper fuel, the oil and gas combine was relieved of all federal control at the source, which simply added up to the privilege of charging all the traffic might Deary cms cnarge absorbed by the pipe lines and dis tributors, and of course passed on to the consumer. - Estimates of the total profits to the gas com- Eanies and total costs to the consumer varied, but one ad only to note the reaction of the gas and oil stocks on Wall Street to get a pretty fair idea. When the bill passed congress these stocks went up 4 and 5 points, when the bill was vetoed the market as a whole continued to rise but these same oil and gas stocks took a tumble approximately- to where they started from. -'I- CO while we thoroughly approve of the presidential veto appreciating it all the more for we never believed sucn action was contemplated we do re gret, very much the reasons thereof. When the report first came over the wires "Presi dent vetoes Gas bill" there were none of his reasons given. ' We fear we were somewhat naive, for it never oc curred to us the Case contribution could be the rea son, we felt that at last the blind-spot from which President Eisenhower suffers where Big Business is concerned had been removed and that recognizing that from ; the standpoint of the public welfare the bill was a 'bad one, he refused to affix his signature to; it.

're Matter of Fact GARDNER-QUARLES LETTERS ; Washington The resignation of Assistant Secretary of The Air Force Trevor Gardner be gins to look more and more like one of those small seeming events which lead to great results. For Gardner's resign ation could easily lead to a root- Joseph Aisop and- branch reexamination of American de fense policy. Last Monday, Gardner testi fied before the House Appropria tions Committee. His testimony had explosive i m p 1 ications. He submitted to 'the com mit t e e two letters, one signed by him' self and a whole galaxy of Air - Force 1 e a d e rs, the otner signed stewart Aisop by Secretary of the Air Force Donald Quarles. The first letter outlined the nature of the threat to American security posed by Soviet tech nical achievements, especially in the missile field. It proposed that approximately - an extra $200,000,000 be appropriated for Air Force research and de velopment, in the 1956 budget, and weU over $300,000,000 extra in the 1957 budget. Along list of special projects, which Gard ner and his co-signers believed had to be undertaken to avoid losing the technical lead to the Soviets, was attached. A MONG the co-signers of the letter were General Nathan Twining, Chief of Staff of the Air Force; Lt. Gem Frank F. Everest, Deputy- Chief. Assist ant Air Force . Secretary Lyle S. Garlock; Dr.; H. Guyford Stever, Chief Scientist : of the Air ; Force; Brigadier General Claude Putnam jr., a. Strategic Air Force division commander, and several others. In short, Gardner's position had the sup port of virtually the entire Air Force below the level of. Sec retary Quarles. - ' .. Ever since Quarles took over from Secretary Harold Talbott, he has been in a minority of one on this b'asic issue. For months, every member of the three service research and develop ment policy council has con sistently and unanimously rec- ommeded higher appropriations, but Quarles has as consistently resisted the recommendations. rpHUS the Quarles reply," while A it did not srecifically veto any of the projects listed, pro posed that each project be cau tiously reconsidered, and sep arately financed if necessary by supplemental appro pnations. This meant no real change in policy and it was this response which finally decided uaraner In The Day's rDJMV TFWVTrtfC In, these chronicles yesterday I listed some of the physical necessities involved in crossing the, international boundary into Mexico. Today I'd like to deal with some of the psychological problems that are involved IHIEF among these problems V is that of language. In Europe, which is a large geographical region composed of many small countries, most oi them speaking different lan- euaees. crossing a frontier amounts to little more than crossing . a street. Most Europ eans have at least a woriung knowledge of the language of their neighbors, and so are able to make themselves understood when away from home. We Americans are a different breed of cats. Our country is vast and it is new. In the past we have been too busy develop ing it to give much thought to foreign' travel. We have given almost no thought at aU to for eign languages. It' is : true that we have a smattering of foreign language teaching in our high; schools and colleges, but it has little prac tical value. You can't get a working knowledge of a foreign language out of a book: Fluency in a foreign tongue is gained by ear, not by the eye. , SO, WHEN we come face to face with the idea of stepping over an international border and mingling with people with whom we can communicate only by signs we are apt to be a little terrified. So Being a little terrified You will be' inclined, when you step through the gates at Nogales or Juarez or Laredo or some other border point, to cover .up your uneasiness by as suming what the psychologists call a defense mechanism.. That is to say, ,you will be apt to assunw unconsciously, perhaps an offish, superior, even slightly contemptuous man ner. DON'T do it. Resist the temp tation Take vmirself firmlv by the nape of the neck and say: "Look, -Bud, - these people . are. By Joe and Stewart Aisop to resign. He had been assigned to defend the Air Force research and development budget before Congress, and under the circum stances he felt he could not conscientiously do so. But it should be well under stood that far more is involved in the Gardner resignation than a few hundred million dollars of research and development appropriations. Gardner has challenged the basic Air Force policy, as laid down by Secre tary Quarles and Secretary' of Defense Wilson, and by no means only in the missile field. The Quarles-Wilson policy is known in the Pentagon as "fly before you buy." It calls for ordering relatively small quant ities of completed aircraft or missiles only when the "hard ware" has been thoroughly test ed. The Gardner position is that positive intelligence of Soviet progress now makes it manda ory that risks be taken that much larger quantities of "hard ware" be ordered to match the Soviets, not only in missiles but in manned aircraft. . - FIDEED, one of Gardner's chief complaints is that new money for missiles and other technical developments has , been found only by reducing appropriations for manned aircraft. Manned planes will remain the dominat ing factor in the air-atomic pow er balance for years to come. v For example, orders for the new "hundred series" of "fighter planes have been held to the merest trickle. Again, hard in telligence has shown that Soviet production of the intercontinent al Bison bomber will soon reach the level of twenty-five planes a month. The, Strategic Air Com mand has demanded that pro duction of the American equival ent, the B-52, be increased at least to the Soviet level. This would cost about $1,500,' 000,000 for a two year period. Instead, the decision was taken to hold B-52 production to 17 aircraft a 'month: Thus the $1,- 500,000,000 was savedbut at the cost of acceptmg predictable Soviet superiority in the one field in which the United States has hitherto held a s command ing lead. Gardner is embodying his views in a long letter to -Secre tary Wilson (with whom, as with Quarles, he has remained per sonally on amicable terms). The letter win presumably be class ified. But Gardner will certainly be- called before other Congres sional committees, like the Jack son Atomic Energy Sub-Commit tee and the Senate Armed Ser vices Committee. The committee members win' undoubtedly in quire closely into Gardner's views, and into the views of those who support and oppose him. Thus Gardner's resignation may weU spark the close, search ing look at American an policy and the " whole atomic power balance which is. desperately needed, and very long overdue (C) 1956, New York Herald , Tribune Inc.

Rogers 1425 Thomas rd. Poll Book Signing To the Editor: There is much confusion regarding the election laws adopted by the 1955 Ore gon Legislature. Among them are extension of the absentee ballot to civilians who' are over seas with the armed .fprces and the law requiring the Voters' Pamphlet to contain a simple explanation of the voter's right and election procedures. , The poll book signing law merely provides that the voter certifies that he is eligible to cast a ballot. He is eligible if 21 years or older, an American citi zen, able to read and write, and a resident of the precinct in which registered. The American Municipal league, the nation's top election law authority, has long recom mended a signature at the polls for identification purposes and this suggestion has been en dorsed by Sen. Richard Neuber ger. Twenty-one states besides Oregon have a similar law. Signing of the poll book does not affect the voters rights. This is the finding of the" Oregon State Federation of Labor which is distributing registration re minders to its members. The Feb. 10, 1956, issue of the "La bor Register" newspaper says the card declares: "The only change in voting procedure which affects you at the polls is the signing of the poll books to testify that you are a resident of the precinct in which you are voting.. If you will be away from home on elec tion day you can vote an ab sentee ballot." I Much of the comment on the poll book signature law centers on the fact that now a voter must comply with election laws which he formerly could ignore. But the 1955 legislature should not be blamed for constitutional and other requirements . that have been on the books since pioneer times. I investigated a complaint in Salem that signing of the poll book delayed voting in a school bond election. The consolidated precinct has 750 registered vot ers, over twice the 350 voters in the average Oregon v precinct. The polls were open only six hours half the 12-hour period for. a general election. Voter turned out in unprecedented numbers and because several precincts wer,e ; consolidated, there was delay while clerks checked addresses of voters. The interim committee on elections, of which I am a mem ber. is considering revision of Oreeon election laws, including modification of the poll, book signing requirement to make it even easier than it .is now. .

MOTILUCSt (By M-T Staff and Contributors) An injury requiring hospi talization is so laughing mat ter. But we couldn't resist a reluctant and sympathetic chuckle, when we learned that a lumber company employee recently had to go to the hos pital in the middle of the night for emergency - treatment of injuries received when he got in a fight with a cat over pos session of a candy bar. . The unusual fauna, and occas ionally the flora, of southern Oregon quite regularly wind up in this column, one way or an other. This is a fauna item. . Mr. and Mrs. Lee Safford of South Old Stage rd. near Jack sonville recently saw in their back yard eight deer a large buck with branching antlers, a young buck, five does, and a tiny fawn. ' ' ' ': ' Isn't February a bit early for a new-born baby deer? . .' - A "sitter" in modern 'par lance indicates a person who ' comes in to stay with someone needing supervision or care ss in baby-sitter. Would someone taking care of a bunch of baby dogs be called a litter-sitter? One Medford housewife we know needed someone of nearly these ; qualifications recently. She and her husband were to go out for the evening, but she stay ed home when she found she could find no one to stay with the family dog, Which was ill and presumably needed more ex pert attention than that required by the family's sub-teen chil dren. Speaking ' of sitting prob lems, an M-T .staff member, father of three, recently , was "batching" while his wife was out of town visiting relatives. The problem of child care was solved by two 'neighbor fam ilies, one bf which look care of the older brothers, and anoth er which opk , in" tho little daughter. When his wife returned, 'it look a good deal of persuasion 'to get the 3-year-old girl" to come home again. She claimed she liked her new "homa"4t ler. , StiU another "sitting" situa tion arose recently when two women friends decided to go put together for the evening. The husband of one, an employee of the local media of mass commun ications, had to work, creating a sitting problem for that family's baby; It was solved when, the The (Distributed by Kmg Fast falls the snow, O sweet heart mine, But, darling, we wont repine , While we're, together.

" Speaking of Operations Know anybody scheduled to undergo surgery? Are they greatly worried about it? know of a woman who was much concerned- as to how ter rible things were going to be in the operating room. After she had been at the hospital for a period she nervously asked the nurse, just when is my opera tion scheduled for?" The nurse said, "you had it four hours ago." She had been operated on and didn't know it! The opera tion was a great success. So the worried lady was out of the hospital in a short time and two weeks later was back working at her office.

One day Jean Turner brought a . dollar to school to pay for her lunch. When she got home her mother told her she had taken a dollar that had been long ago given to her by graidmother. The coin was old and had nicks on it around the edges. Coujd she get the dollar back? Mr. Gilbert son asked Mrs. Hurt, our cook, if she still had the dollar. Since the' dollar was brought to school on Friday and it was now Mon day, the money had been taken to the bank by Mrs. Wait, super visor of cafeterias. Mrs. Wait had also noticed the dollar when she had counted it and said some thing about it at the bank. Mr. Gilbertson called the teller at the bank who' had received the money from Mrs! Wait. But the teller who had received the dol lar was not on duty that day so she would check with the rego lar teller next day. On Wednes day, five days later, Mr. Gilbert son got a call' from the bank. They had found the dollar. Mrs. Wait got the dollar . from the bank, gave it to Mr, Gilbertson, who gave it to Jean for another dollar who gave it to her moth er and everybody was happy. I think the bank should be. given credit for .taking time so a lost dollar could be found. Oh yes, Mr. Gilberlson gave the other dollar to Mrs. Hurt, who gave it to Mrs. Wait, who put it in the bank.
