The car he backed into was a police car. Km .MAIL TRIBUNE TV Missed It Sunday night over the air what was termed an "American Forum" was held. . The chief subject was civil defense, participated in by four American Mayors, fresh from the national convention of Mayors. The four consisted of the mayors of two of our largest cities Philadelphia and Los Angeles; and two not so large Denver, Colorado and Nashville, Tennessee. More important, two of the Mayors were Repub lican, LA and Denver: two of them even more strong ly Democratic Philadelphia and Nashville, . T TNDElfTHE circumstances, with a presidential election in the offing probably disagreement should havebeen expected, but judging by the re marks and behavior, of the "moderator," what trans pired was not. ,; If the four burgomasters agreed on civil defense or anything else on the agenda, it was not apparent to this auditor. But when toward the close of the discussion the question of the presidential election came up, the bi partisan quartet really broke ranks and went berserk. . THE MAYOR of Los Angeles naturally dealt in superlatives, declaring Mr. Eisenhower would not only run, but he would win in a walk and thus save, not only American democracy from destruction, but the democratic WORLD. The Denver Mayor seconded the motion but more modestly and in more subdued tones, as befitted the host to the Summer White House. The chief executive of Philadelphia declared his town would give the greatest majority to the Demo cratic party in its history and he didn't care who the Republican candidate might be. The Nashville mayor not only seconded this motion (with a smooth South ern accent) but maintained the national election re sult would be a Democratic landslide, because while the "Big Boys" in the Upper Brackets, liked "Ike," the rank and file of the American people DIDN'T. They are tired of getting the short end of everything, he be lieved, and will vote the GOP out and keep it out for a considerable period. ' . FINALLY, all the four mayors were not only shout- ing at the top of their lungs but were doing so in unison, the noise and confusion being so great, the poor Moderator couldn't make himself heard. ALL OF WHICH is of no world-shattering impor tance of course, but does indicate what the heat and tempo of the forthcoming presidential campaign promises to be; and how TV sometimes "nods" for if it had put on these four Mayors, their second TV appearance would draw a bigger audience than a Marciano-Moore TV, rematch! and for the same 1 , (NV-11-1 I 1 i T-k TXT TV reason everyone liKes to We Second the Motion , Although a bitted foe of the Al Sarena investiga tion, the Roseburg Review quote: The committee in the Al Serena case, still has respon sibility for a report on the functioning of federal agencies handling publicly owned timber in the Pacific Northwest. This is a report which could mean much to the economy of this area, It is indeed to be hoped that the committee takes a more responsible approach to its timber decisions than was shown in the Al Sarena fiasco. ' . . We agree. - . , The committee SHOULD recommend legislation which in the future will prohibit giving federal tim ber practically for-free, to anyone securing a patent to a mining claim, and forcing the timber companies in Southern Oregon not interested in mining to pay the market price for the same type of timber in competitive bidding at an added cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The correction of this abuse of the Oregon min ing laws, and injustice to the timber operators, would, as the Roseburg paper claims, "mean much to the economy" of the Southern Oregon area! R.W.R.

McCANN United Press Correspondent That Southeast Asia- "Paper Tiger," as the Chinese Commun ists call it,-shows signs of com- ing to life. . "Paper Tig er" is what the Reds call the eight - nation Southeast Asia Defense alli ance. It was sign ed in Manila on Sept. 8, Charles McCann 1954. Its mem bers are the United States, Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Thai land and Pakistan. The alliance is called official ly the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. Unlike the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Europe, it has no standing mili tary force. It has been, as the Chinese Reds say, a paper al liance only.' Reds Displeased But broadcasts by the Red Peiping Radio show that the Communist government is dis pleased over two recent develop ments. , These are the maneuvers held off the coast of .Thailand last week by small forces of six of the "Seato" nations and the im pressive American atomic war fare exercises held on little Iwo Jima off Japan ending . yester day. There is to be a conference of the Seato countries in Karachi, Pakistan, starting March 6. Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les will lead the United States delegation. Reports from Far Eastern capitals forecast that some dele gations will make a strong bid for the formation of some kind Matter of Fact PANDORA-GORE Washington Senator Albert Gore of Tennessee, who heads the three-man committee which will investig ate the use of money in poli tics, is a born Evangelist. The subject of money - in-pol-itics is the pol itical equiva lent of Pan dora's Box, Stewart Aisop which releas ed all the evils of the world when Pandora opened it. Yet Gore is apparently determined to play the role of Pandora. "I know I have a bear by the tail," Gore says, with Evange lical ferver. "but I can't let go. The mass movement of m on e y be tween the states for pol itical purposes threatens the very . f ounda ations of our political sys tem." Joseph Aisop ' Lrore plans to ask the Senate for something on the order of half a miUion dollars for his investigation. With the money he intends to have half a dozen or more train ed investigators to unearth the whole story of money-in-politics. As presently planned, his first order of business will be to re call the Superior Oil Company officials who tried to slip Sen ator Francis Case of South Da kota $2,500 in hundred dollar bills, . and find out ; what their other political-financial activi ties have been. . TF HE is as good as his word, he will go on from there, in vestigate the political use of money not only by the oil inter ests, but by all other industries with a big political stake. The Republican member of the Gore committee, Senator Carl Curtis of Nebraska, has been pomised a Republican . counsel and Re publican staff members, and he will concentrate on the finan cial contributions of labor un ions. These contributions of course go almost entirely to Democrats. Thus what is in prospect is a tremendous public washing of the dirty linen of both parties.

Signs of She Times To the Editor: We have a T.V. and I enjoy the devotions. One, by a Methodist minister, men tioned a book and read a portion of it about a 'woman who was influenced by a book or paper (he didn't : specify) . entitled "Signs of the Times." I am a Seventh-day Adventist.- Our church puts out a little paper of that title. But surely that wasn't what he had in mind as it is widely read among our people. We are not like the lady in ques tion at aU. There is hardly a- hospital around here without at least one S.D.A. nurse in it, not to men tion our own hospitals, sanatori ums and rest homes. We have a very good record at the Ground Observer Corps and any number of other activities. By Joe and Stewart Aisop, of the subject to be investigated is suggested by the trouble Gore has already experienced in his search for a qualified committee counsel. He has had a number of turn-downs one prospect re marked that "any lawyer, who would take on a job like that must have rocks in his head." ' L'ViN to mention campaign contributions has long been considered as bad form in the Senate as talking about , sex in a Victorian drawing room. There is hardly a Senator who has not received important- contribu tions from special interests of one sort or another. In the tele vision era, with a single broad cast running well up into five figures, it is impossible to wage an effective campaign without contributions. It is also impossible to wage a winning campaign under the limitations laid down by , the Corrupt Practices Act. Thus there is probably not a man in the Senate outside the "safe seats in the South, who has not con nived at circumventing the act by the accepted techniques. A candidate," especially in the , in dustrial states, who did not so connive simply could . not be elected. It is therefore not surprising that the vast majority of Sena tors regard the prospect of the Gore investigation with scarcely concealed loathing. There has naturally been a good deal of quiet behind-the-scenes talk of finding some way to narrow the scope of the investigation, or to enlarge the Gore committee and dilute it with "reasonable" men, or to take the curse of it in some other way. But Gore promises to'' fight any such move, and the chances are he will have his way. In deed, he will probably get every thing he asks for by a handsome majority vote. Since President Eisenhower, in a political mas terstroke, vetoed the gas bill be cause of "arrogant" use of money for political purposes, it would be political suicide to be caught trying to sweep the subject und er the rug. ... THE dimensions of the subject are suggested by the results of a two year study of money in politics, undertaken at the Uni versity of North Carolina. After the most careful analysis, this study established that the 1952 campaign cost a staggering $150 million, give or take a few mil lion, in straight out-of-pocket expense. A considerable propor tion of this sum was certainly "under-the-table money", as it is known in the trade. It is no use trying to control the big business of politics by putting a ceiling on expendi tures, since ceilings will always be broken through one way or another. What is needed is some means of bringing the business into the open, so that the voters should really know who gets what, and from whom, and so that a man can go to the United States Senate without conniving at circumvention of the law. If Senator Gore's opening of Pandora's box results in legisla tion to this end, it will serve a most useful purpose, despite the present anguish on Capitol hill. : '- 1956, New York Herald. j Tribune Inc. would be smart to form even a tiny standing Seato force. Such a force could be strengthened as time passed. More important than the ac tual strength in numbers of a defense force would be the es tablishment of a central head quarters, at which staff officers of all eight treaty nations could cooperate. No dramatic results are ex pected at next month's Karachi conference. N But all aspects of Southeast Asia defense will be discussed. And it may not be too long before the Chinese Communists stop calling the Seato alliance a Paper Tiger.

Doubtful Benefit To the Editor: According to a spokesman of the Aluminum Company of America, sodium fluoride is not a by-product of their industry but is manufac tured principaUy as an insecti cide and for wood preserving. So that is proof of it being pois onous in nature. Now there is just one thing we all agree on and that is the per fection of our mountain spring city water supply. Why should this perfection be ruined for the doubtful benefit of a few children when the same result may be obtained by other means if parents make the ef fort? Fluoride tablets in drink ing water could be used by those who have no objection to poison ous accumulations in their bodies. ' .' . How does any group have the right to force other people to drink poisoned water just be cause they want to do so? And after aU, all the fluoride pro duced will never offset the dam age done to children's teeth by the sugar intake . in- candy, soft drinks and other confections to the exclusion of the natural foods needed to supply the min erals and other elements - that build strong teeth and healthy bodies. It seems to me this is just a matter of common sense, Mrs. Docia Jones Barnett Rd. : Medford, Ore. -. ' Owe To It to Children ' ; ' the Editor:' -The Medford Mail Tribune is to be commend ed for its . strong and weU in formed stand in favor of fluori dation, it is reassuring to see our newspaper , talce 'responsi bility in- such an important issue. I, too, have been puzzled by the opposition to a process which will achieve what we aU want, better health! ' 1 Artificial fluoridation of water has been tested for at least 15 years and found to be absolutely safe, economical and beneficial. Some 22,000,000 Americans now drink ;- water - that " has fluorine added, including residents of San Francisco, Milwaukee, Washing ton, D. C, (by act of congress), Baltimore, Pittsburgh and many others. These citizens are living evidence that the ads in- this paper" condemning fluoridation are untrue. -' . V , ., ; - Local dentists are overwhelm ingly: in favor of fluoridation, as is the American Dental, asso ciation. The same stand is taken unanimously by the. Jackson County Medical association as well . as the American Medical association. - : If a man wants an opinion on plumbing does he call a florist? A sensible man goes to those whose special knowledge and skills entitle them to hold an informed opinion. Fluorida tion is a question of dental healths Ask your doctor or den tist. "', . There is no fluorine at all in our water. The rate of tooth decay in the northwest is twice the national average. A dentist recently told me he had five high school students in one week for whom, he was fitting fiul dental plates. Similar tragic cases go with "our wonderfully pure Medford water.". Fluorine added , to the water is said not "natural," somehow different from fluorine that 3,000,000 Americans have been consuming in their water for generations, without even know ing it until the past 20 years.' Fluorine is . an element. God created it. Man did not and cannot. In the concentrations used, fluorine compounds ionize completely, thus there is no question of source, only of con centration. "Natural food" peo ple have told- me they would favor "natural" fluoridation. The fact is that "artificiaUy added" fluorine is made from fluorspar i found in nature or from certain phosphate rocks. Thus the "arti ficial" fluorine is in reality a natural one in handy form. Since it is impossible to move a phosphate or fluorspar moun tain to Medford through which we could trickle , our water sup ply, why not add fluorine the easy, accurate way? We owe it to our children to do all we can to prevent needless pain and suffering due to tooth' decay. J. Brandenburg, M.D., Medical Center Bldg., Medford, Ore. Down-To-Earth Courage To the Editor: An indiscretion has oeen described as saying something in public that every one knows and is talking of pri vately. Like Secretary of Agri culture Ezra T. Benson's speech before the Western States Meat Packers association in a news release of the M-T Feb. 16. If indiscretion it was, it was an ex ample of personal courage in statement of known facts. But as usual, Benson's reward is tongue-lashing by his . supposed co-workers in the administra tion who should be supporting him. Of course, we know that their mouthing is mostly a build up in future political vote-get--ting. Thus far in my humble opin ion, Secretary Benson has shown by far the most courage in caU ing the balls as they go over the plate. His steadfast objection to the ill-begotten 90 per cent par ity on farm products in well known. Supposing the govern ment had guaranteed a like pro fit to auto manufacturers on aU unsold cars, trucks and tractors? It takes very little supposing to see the complete ruination of the automotive industry by such crazy procedure. Flexible parity is much the same. The only an swer in honest grass-roots think ing is to put farm products sell ing back to proven supply and demand. When Mr. Farmer is put behind the eight baU by pow er groups, be they of industry, union labor combines, or any other kind of modern trend, then give him proper tax ease ment so he can have a fair and decent way of life. For survive he must if we are to escape ruination like we had quite a mouthful warning of a few years back. Just as sure as farming, to which we all cling for a better way in life, should come crash ing down, then it's disaster for aU of us. A big-wheel in Burma wailed a warning recently in these near- exact words: "If only you (the USA) could buy our rice, we could keep out of Red's clutch es." But how in Heaven's name are we to buy rice of Burma or any other nation when bur ele vators, warehouses and . idle ships are rammed full' of wheat and other farm products so high- priced with spiraling wages and satellite costs that there's little chance; to export it. One thing is sure, someone with down-to-earth ' courage must soon take the controls of our ship-of-state, or our so enjoyable golden age will ' crash on the shoals a n d rocks of too much timid and craven' thinking and action, . , F. J., Clifford, 1211 West Main, , Medford, Ore.. Whoso "Giveaway"? - To the Editor: Recent editorial discussions of the Gas Bill have placed major blame for the pas sage of the bill on" the Demo cratic party and the statement has even been made that the diii was a uemocratic "give away". - - - Twenty-four Democrats voted against the bill, while only 14 Republicans opposed it; 3 1 Re publicans voted - for the bill, while only 22 Democrats sup ported it. By percentages, 68.89 per cent of the Republicans voted for it while only 31.11 per cent of the Republicans op posed it. By contrast the major ity of Democrats voted against the bill, 52.16 per cent to be exact. .... This is a surprising outcome, to put it mildly, in view of the , fact that the Democratic leaders in both houses, repre senting the gas-producing state of Texas, were supporting the bill because of public opinion in their home, state. Addition ally, every major gas-producing j state is represented by at least one Democratic senator, some of them by two. Yet the majority of Democrats opposed the bill. On the other hand the bulk of Republican senators represent the gas-consuming' states of the north, yet they voted by more than a two-to-one majority in favor of the bill. Who is holler ing "giveaway" at the Demo crats? Republicans, of course, but only Republicans who are unmindful of the facts. Senators Morse and Neuberger naturally voted against the bill, and Senator Morse, with Senator Douglas of Illinois, led the fight against it, though this fact went unreported in the Oregon press. Also unreported was the . fact that Senator Morse was the only senator who had the courage to stand up and ask for enforce ment of senate rule 12, which would have prevented a number of senators . with oil and gas holdings from voting for the bill. We shall hear much of Mr. Eisenhower's veto of the bill, but not enough of the facts. The facts are that he vetoed the bill for two reasons: "1. The outcry over lobbying tactics, which he mentioned in his veto message. 603 Portland State Freshmen Facing Trouble on Grades Portland (U.R) Officials said today that 603 freshmen of Port land State College have been placed on probation for low grades. This figure represents 41 per cent of the total fresh men class enrolled at the state school. ; The percentage is higher than at any other school in the state system. The percentage of fresh men placed on probation at Oregon State after the fall quar ter was 25 per cent. Course Doesn't Couni One of the main courses men tioned is that freshmen are no longer forced to take "bone- head English," a course of high school level offered by most schools for freshmen that fail to pass their entrance English examinations. This elementary English course does not offer credit and also doe's not count in compiling a grade point stand ing. Dr. J. F. Cramer, president of the college, attributed the high percentage in part to the in escapable fact in any urban col lege that a higher proportion of "borderline" students enrolL High Percentage Seen A faculty spokesman offered the suggestion that the high per centage of freshmen students in relation to the student body may have had something to do with it Also blamed as partial rea sons for the low grades was the fact that a large proportion of Portland State students hold part time jobs in addition to attending classes. Officials said that there were 138 students suspended in De cember. This represented . the number that were so far below the grade point level required that it was impossible to con. tinue them in schooL Instrument Trouble Blamed in Air Crash Cairo (U.R) Two. crew men of the French airliner that crashed near here yesterday, killing 52 persons, agreed today that ' something went wrong with the instruments" but with- held details pending official in quiry. Co-pilot Robert Rolland, who was at the controls- when the big DC6 slammed into the des ert 11 miles east of here, and mechanic Pierre LeBoennec both said the instruments d:dn't seem xo De wonting ngnt during the plane's last moments in the air. : Rolland .denied that he was attempting an emergency land ing at the time of the crash, but he would give no other details. "An official inquiry will be held," he said. "That's the only time I'll be answering ques tions."' ;.;:.: . Actor James Mason Declared Recovering Hollywood, Calif. U.R) Ac tor James Mason was reported recovering at home today from pneumonia. Mason's wife Pamela disclosed her husband's . serious illness last night.

Mrs. Mason said Mason hones to leave his sick bed by the end of the week. 2. As. a political maneuver to win votes in certain heavily Democratic industrial cities, which he failed to mention. He should have vetoed it,' as Harry Truman did, for a single reason: the bill itself was against the public interest. I predict that if Eisenhower is given enough time in the White House for the gas lobby to pass the bill again without an uproar, he will sign it. , Howard Morgan, . Chairman, .
