MAIL TRIBUNE
Much Can Be Done
Not too long ago, the county court appointed a
County Planning Commission the first such ever
named in this county. Its organization was authorized
by a recent session of the state legislature. . -.. .
In our view, it was a step forward in the progress
of the community which is Jackson county. .
But it was only a step not the automatic solution
of the problems of planning and zoning which we
face as a growing community.
TTHIS is borne out in the experience of other coun-
ties which are in the process of putting planning
and zoning procedures into effect. ;
Here is part of an editorial from The Dalles
Chronicle of recent date:
The Wasco County Planning Commission has adopted a
zoning ordinance for populated areas adjacent to The Dalles
that will have far reaching' effects on the community for
. years to come.
The zoning ordinance, coupled with the county build
ing code adopted by the commission and the county court, -puts
this area "way ahead of the rest of the state," accord
ing to J. Haslett Bell, zoning expert hired by the county:
This editorial caught the eye of the editor of the
neighboring, (as 'distances go in eastern Oregon) La
Grande Evening Observer, who rather ruefully admir
ed the progress being made in Wasco county.
THE La Grande editor then went on to discuss
some of the problems of planning and zoning in
general, which are applicable to our own situation.
He points out that "the Union county planning group
has been so far inactive, although that for La Grande
proper the city commission had devoted a consider
able amount of time to the development of a city
zoning ordinance, and to other measures for the sound
and intelligent development of growth within the
city proper. '
This situation is similar to that in this area, with
an active city group and a so-far inactive county com
mission. -, . ' -
The editorial continues : . -
. . Where the city limits end, so ends any control or
planning. These areas adjacent to the city are permitted to
build up in any way they wish, without any overall plan for
their : future development, for beautification or eventual
' land uses. ... . -- I . ,.
The longer th?,county goes without a zoning ordinance,
or without a properly functioning planning commission, the
'greater is the danger that certain areas will fall into unde
sirable uses, which will have, to be tolerated long into the ,
future. . . . - ; .- '.
ftflEDFORD and Jackson county have a far greater
population than do either La Grande or The Dal
les and their counties. We are also growing more rapr
idly. The need for sound planning procedures is more
apparent here than it is there.
- We certainly w ould not wish; the new planning
commission, which first must "get its feet on the
ground," to take any action hastily or without due
consideration. i
But the. evidence on every hand is that the ser
vices they can render are long, long ' overdue. Little
can now be done to assist the areas which like Topsy
"just growed," andare now feeling the lack of plan
ning and foresight. But, with a sound program, which
we. hope the commission will spare, no effort to de
velop,7much can be done to avoid similar, situations
as our growth continues.? E.A.
Wanderlust
The sun was shining as this was written (which
is no guarantee that it will be when it appears , in
print) and brings up the eternal February-time ma
laise known as "wishing Spring would : hurry" up."
This malady is stoutly reinforced by a publication
which reached this desk a day or two ago. It is en
titled "Discovery Trips in Oregon," and by means of
maps, photographs and description it gives anyone
who has traveled in Oregon and loved it a passion
to get back on the road.
THE booklet is put out by Sunset Magazine. It is
divided into seven sections, an introduction de
scribing the state's principal cities; a section on the
Oregon coast; southern Oregon;, the Cascades and
central Oregon; the Columbia river highway; the
northeast corner, and southeastern Oregon.
The southern Oregon section was of the' most in
terest, naturally enough. It goes into considerable de
tail about the Rogue River, the Oregon Caves,' the
Applegate route to . Medford, camping on Union
Creek, Grater Lake, Lake of the Woods, and-the
North Umpqua. Glancing over it only serves to re
inforce our hard-held conviction; that of all places in
the state, southern Oregon is the most greatly blessed.
DUT the rest of Oregon has its attractions, for just
about anything high desert, mountains, rivers,
lakes all are available within our boundaries.
If .the sun starts shining again there will be no
alternative : We'll just have" to get that leaky tire
pumped up, dust off some of the -winter's mud from
the old jalopy, lock the. house, and take off to get re
acquainted with the most beautiful state of all. E.A.

Negotiations Over Future of
Saarland Bring it Into
By CHARLES M, McCANN'
United Press Correspondent
The Saarland is coming into
the headlines again.
I .ance and West Germany
opened negotiations in Paris to
day on the fu
t u r e of the
tiny, rich ter
ritory which
lies nestled be
tween them.
On the suc
cess of the ne
gotiations . de
pends the main
tenance of
Charles McCann irienaiy rela
tions between the two countries.
To some extent, at least, the
strength of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization,, of .which
both are members, is involved.
There is no doubt, that the
Saar is German. But since the
end of World War II it has been
linked with France.

Moral Responsibility
- To the Editor: I have "noticed
that a number of fishermen: ap
pear to be not in favor of a high
dam on the Rogue river to pre
vent the recurrence of the
floods this winter. They appear
to think their fish and their
pleasure "(?) are more important
than the lives . and property of
people living in the Rogue 'val
ley; If another' flood comes to the
Rogue River " valley because the
fishermen and the IWL . (their
organization) oppose this dam,
then I , think the Izaak Walton
league and the fishermen should
be held morally responsible for
any lives andor property lost.
" No amount ' of money can pay
for lives lost under such condi
tions but the. fishermen should
be willing to pay enough. extra
for their licenses to pay for the
property damage their pig-head-edness
causes.

Reasons for Zeal
To the Editor: I regret you
found it necessary in your fluo
ridation editorial to use tactics
you" deplore in others. I refer
specifically to your ., reference
"opposition which has an almost
fanatical attitude." .
.." The reason for our zeal is be
cause we firmly believe that the
American people are being slow
ly poisoned by these additives
to our food and water.
The unfairness is thus demon-
strated: News releases during
Dental Week stress the word
"Fluoridation": you r editorial
of 845 words while opposition
letters restricted to 400 words:
the unfair approach by propon
ents in only allowing their side
to be heard by 'the public. The
Public ; Health service should
see that both sides are heard, in
this issue.
I would-like to refer to the
"Facts" as' you list them:
Nothing is said about fluorosis
which has turned up in those
cities having fluoridation.
Your .13 cent cost per month
per water connection is only for
maintenance and flourine. $30,-
000. is needed for the feeder sta
tion (Medford water depart
ment figures). -.
. Your "Socialized Medicine"
statement is too vague. One has
a selection of the milk they de
sire (this is all we ask regarding
water) pasteurized, homogenized
or raw milk is available. Chlo
rine ran be eliminated by aera
tion or boiling. When people
are misled and forced to take
poison in their water for com
mercial advantage- if this is not
socialism, what is it?.
Your "fluorides - are harm
less" statement is not. wise. Sci
ence itself states, "only when
you can prove that your experi
ments are not wrongs have you
any hope to begin to believe
that you are - right." When so
many of the-: experts disagree,
how can we assume fluorides
are harmless? The fact that
fluorides are tasteless, and odor
less is in itself warning enough.
The "authorities you men
tion doubtless, had tne same
training. Those experts oppos
ing fluoridation do so: with
their convictions, often at the
expense of being maligned and
unjustly attacked by. their fel
low professionals..
The Supreme Court decision
was based on the issue of Re
ligious Freedom only. Justice
Lusk wrote that it was not even
aUeged in the ; complaint that
fluorine was harmful, which is
the only issue that should have
been contended.-'. '
Let's urge our city council to
put this issue on the May bal
lot. In presenting this to the
public . the American way, the
public can, decide if they wish
fluoride added to their water..

West Germany wants the Saar
back. France wants to keep its
economic ties with the 990.0
square. mile territory.
French Foreign Minister Chris
tian Pineau and West German
Foreign Minister Heinrich von
Brentano are conducting the ne
gotiations. Political Importance
Both will have to keep in mind
the political importance of the
Saar' territory to their govern
ments. French Premier Guy Mollet's
coalition cabinet is shaky. West
German Chancellor Adenauer is
under a heavy attack at the mo
ment from his opponents.
Neither dares concede too much
in the Saar talks.
The baar produces about 17,
000,000 tons of coal a year. The
Saar's coal fits perfectly, from
the economic standpoint, with
France's Lorraine iron industry.
The . Saar was -detached from
Home. in Annex?.
. To the Editor: Several years
ago the people of Jackson coun
ty voted for the establishment
of a juvenile ' detention home
and provided funds for its acqui
sition.. The mandate of the peo
ple has not been carried out
by those charged with this duty,
among the reasons advanced for
non-compliance with the wishes
of the people is the belief that
the near proximity of such . an
institution will have an adverse
effect upon property values. It
is within the . realm of possi
bility that this is true. ".-',"'
We do have a structure al
ready erected in Jackson county
that can house detention quar
ters, for juveniles. This is the
top floor of the courthouse an
nex. This area, if used would
provide maximum security and
make a more efficient and eco
nomical operation than if . lo
cated elsewhere. Juveniles
would, be close to the county
officials who are in charge of
their department.
It is understood that less than
40 juveniles were confined in
the county jail during all of
1955; This being true, it seems
that the best interests of our
residents would be served by
utilizing building space already
in the hands of the county rather
than' to acquire more land -for
the erection of a building that
would-be costly, to maintain
and operate. . -.
There is sufficient, area on
the. top floor of the !" courthouse
annex to provide adequate space
for .juveniles who are detained
for noii-criminal reasons as well
as for. those requiring more com
plete isolation and confinement.
. It is believed if the people
demand that presently available
space be used that' a saving will
accrue to the county, not only
from lower initial cost but also
from lower operational charges

Who Is a Christian?
, To the Editor: We have
churches of many different be
liefs. And most of the people
you find in most of them are
considered better citizens of the
community, business men and
officials, and what have you.
Yet to meet one of them, on "the
street, or in their place of busi
ness, it would appear that the
brotherly love that Jesus taught
is founded upon how much are
you going to spend or. what
group do you belong to.
If you don't come under one
of these headings you are more
than likely not going to find
any of that brotherly 'love that
is found in true- Christians and
preached in church on Sundays
This is not so with all, how
ever, but. in most of so-called
better , business men and higher
class of people, and a lot of self-
righteous church- going people
This is truly a sad thing to see,
for these are the ones that should
be setting an example for oth
ers. I use to envy people with
money and popularity, but after
reading the Bible' I can truly
say now I'm glad I'm not -one
and hope I never will be, for it's
too easy to fall into that class
of self-righteousness. '
I'd rather be praying for them
than to. have some one praying
for .me, for fear that the prayer
wouldn't be answered.
Jesus said the -. two most im
portant commandments . are to
love God with all thy heart and
soul," and to "love thy breth
ren," and we are all. brothers
and sisters in God's eyes. Not
one lives that does not live by
God, and we wiU either be for
given or judged by him accord
ing to our works, l pray that no
man will go to hell, for there is
surely good in aU. So let's bring
it out and show it to others and
make it a better , world to live
in and to- bring our children
into. ' - -

Germany for 15 years after the
First World War. It was under
League of Nations control, and
France got its coal as repara
tions. Again after World War n, the
Saar came under French" control.
Its economy remains closely
linked to that of France.
October Referendum
In a referendum held last Oc
tober, Saarlanders voted over
whelmingly for reunion to Ger
many. This vote was confirmed
in a parliamentary election held
Dec. 18. .
Now the French and German
governments are trying to reach
a firm agreement' on the'' future
of the Saar and its 1,000,000
people.
, French Foreign Minister Pi
neau announced in advance of
the negotiations that he. is de
termined to protect his country's
interests.
Pineau said that France could
agree to the return of the Saar
to German sovereignty only if
its economic interests in the ter
ritory were . safeguarded com
pletely. ...
. Hence the success of the nego
tiations .seems to depend on the
separation of the political and
economic issues. , ;
Hubert Ney, a 63-year-old law
yer, is the Saar's Premier. He
seems to be thoroughly aware of
the realises in the situation. He
calls for economic as weU as
political union with . Germany.
But he has said that this is pos
sible , only, under, a friendly
French-German agreement, and
that union must be accomplished
gradually. - r
It is probable that Ney wUl
be drawn into the Paris negotia
tions soon. His part in them is
likely to be important. .
Editorial Comment
OS WEST'S VETO
Ex-Governor Os West has said
he doesn't think it would be
right to name a state park after
him. But the Salem Statesman
points out the constitution gives
us the right to override the gov
ernor's veto by a two-thirds ma
jority. And from opinions ex
pressed ther length and breadth
of the state og this issue thus
far,, we judge Oregon sentiment
to be approximately 99-44100
per cent in favor of honoring in
this fashion the man who saved
our : beaches for public enjoy
ment -forever; This- -is one veto
Og can't make stick. " ;
A short time before his death
Governor Paul Patterson told a
representative of this page he
favored: the idea, and. had a po
tential site . or, two in mind. Now
the Astorian ' Budget advocates
giving the name of Os West to
the newstate park adjacent to
Fort Stevens. Since the. old Fort
Stevens reservation ' lies almost
wholly outside the boundaries of

name might thereby disappear
from the' map seem groundless!

Communications
On TV Ads
To the Editor: The controver
sy concerning Public Power vs.
Private Power has . long been
apparent in our newspapers and
magazines, written of course by
the Pro and Con. However this
controversy has taken on new
proportions under the guise of
commercial advertising.
Sponsors usually purchase
time from a radio or television
station for. the jpurpose- of ad
vertising their products, hoping
that they wiU sell as a . result.
Of course when a company is
selling a commodity as essen
tial, for instance, as electricity,
and there . is no competition in
an area, -sometimes a sponsor
of " this type may feel . it can
afford to set aside caution and
expound their political theories
under the title of commercial
advertising. - '-
I'm sure that no one would
ever expect a private power
company to advertise favorably
for Public Power. The two are
not compatible. So it comes as
no surprise to anyone that they
are for private power develop
ment 100 per cent. After all
it is their business! I do want
to say though, that the manner
they are going about it cer
tainly tends to create hard feel
ings among many, as it is not
in the true sense of. the word,
good advertising.
I realize that a radio or tele
vision station must depend on
sponsored programming in or
der to exist financially, however
I've always noticed that during
a political campaign .these sta
tions1 are very careful to an
nounce, whenever a candidate
has purchased some time, that
the views heard are not neces
sarily those of the station. This
is as it should be. Are we to

Joseph Aisop blood-lettings,
may turn out to be hardly worth
the bother.
. If. the President decides to
run, of course, the rest will be
silence on the Republican side.
And on the
Democratic
side, Adlai
Steve nson's
supporters are
t a Iking quite
seriously of
clinching . the
Democratic
nomination for
their man in
Stewart' Alsop less t h a n a
month. Such talk may not be
quite as empty as it seems. For
it does seem quite reasonable
to suppose that Stevenson might
knock out Sen. Estes Kefauver
in the New Hampshire primaries
on March 16. If that happens,
it is difficult to see how Kefau
ver can come back, and even
more difficult to see how Ste
venson can be stopped. .
The Kefauver forces in New
Hampshire, are scared blue.
Here I'm trying - to practice
law," says Kef auve's New !
Hampshire manager Tom Mc
Intyre, "and I'm working full
time for Estes, where' a couple
of months ago I thought I had
a shoo-in." The man principally
responsible for keeping Mr. Mc
Intyre away from his law prac
tice is William L. Dunfey, chair
man, of the Stevenson organiza
tion in New Hampshire.
TYUNFEY -has succeeded in lin- J
ing up just about all the big
and medium sized Democratic
names in the state to serve as
delegate candidates "favorable"
to Stevenson ' a considerable
achievement, ' since, like the
minority party in most one-party
states, the . principal amusement
of New Hampshire's Democrats
is kicking each other in the
shins.
Among the pro-Stevenson delegate-
candidates are most of the
state chairmen of the last couple
of decades, and men like Joseph
Benoit, popular- mayor of Man
chester and Reader of the state's
numerous Franco-Americans; As
a result, there has " developed
an understandable tendency
among Kef auver's supporters to
desert him; Among those who
have gone . over to Stevenson
are, Hugh Wailing, chairman Of
Kef auver's New Hampshire dele
gation 'i in 1952, and national
committeeman . Henry. . Sullivan,
who was elected by the Kefau
ver delegates..
' There is a curious added ele
ment in the situation, which
also makes Kefauver look a lit
tle, like a sinking ship. A New
Hampshire Democratic - voter
marks his ballot for 12 state
wide delegatesMf there are more
than 12 delegate candidates
favorable to a Presidential can
didate, his strength is" corre
spondingly diluted.
J In 1952, for example. Kefau
ver had 12 delegates and Presi
dent Truman had 15. The Tru
man delegates and other non
Kef auyer delegates actually got
more votes than the Kefauver
slate. But, " because the anti
Kefauver vote was diluted, Ke
fauver won a clean sweep- of
all the delegates.

before closing time, three little
known -Democrats filed as dele
gate candidates favorable to Ke- -fauver.
Mclntyre, who not
unnaturally . suspects a dark
pro-Stevenson blot, has denounc
ed the three as "phonys." But
their names will be on the bal
lot, and presumably they will
dilute the Kefauver. strength.
Kefauver plans at least two
forays into New Hampshire,; and
his odd but effective campaign
style may save the situation for
him. But the above analysis of
the 1952 vote suggests that his
much -vaunted popularity with
the New Hampshire Democrats
may be exaggerated. Polls show
Stevenson running : better than
two to one over Kefauver," for
example in upstate New York.
It is hard to see why - New
Hampshire Democrats should be
all that different from upstate
New York Democrats.
In any case, Stevenson is in
an enviable heads-I-win-tails-you-lose
position. He has kept hands
off New Hampshire. An official
in his Chicago headquarters re
marked, "We do not associate
ourselves with that situation, on
the Governor's orders." So a de
feat in New Hampshire will not
much hurt Stevenson. But a de?,
feat in New Hampshire could
well be fatal to Kefauver, since
his whole strength is .built- on ,
his "grass roots" support,; first
supposedly demonstrated in New
Hampshire in 1952.
. .r
PERHAPS Kefauver could
come back for example by
taking a few delegates from Ste
venson in Minnesota, where
some observers profess to de
tect surprising; Kefauver
strength. But it is hard to see .
how he could ever really recover
