MAIL TRIBUNE The Lobby Probe Those "who expect to get much satisfaction out of the bi-partisan committee probe of . lobbying are due, we fear, to disappointment. , As has been often remarked, this is a presidential election year. Not only will the members of the com mittee be more interested in votes than in informa tion, but as they are divided 50-50 between Republi cans and Democrats it will he difficult if not impos sible to reach any decision at least on important is sues. '. The Republicans will undoubtedly try, to ' make a "Big Bad Wolf" out of the Labor lobby, and the Democrats will undoubtedly press the American Manufacturers and the US Chamber of Commerce lobbies, into the same role. In other words, there are two things almost cer tain to happen as a result of this probe, namely: it will go on for the duration of the campaign, and it will have no material, effect upon the lobby system now or in the future. " " . " PVEN IF the unexpected should happen and a def inite non-partisan verdict should be reached, it is highly doubtful any such decision would materially change the system of lobbying. And for a very good reason. Lobbying as a prac tice is necessary to the proper functioning of our mo dern democratic system. When is is honestly conducted it serves a necessary and useful purpose, for without it, the facts concerning legislation, could hardly be secured by our representatives in congress. There is another kind of lobbying which is bad, which deals in bribery and various and sundry forms of corruption, but the type No. 1 is legalized so it is difficult to see how type No. 2 can be outlawed ef fectively at least. ; " ; i. I The- task would be somewhat similar to the un scrambling of J. Pi Morgan's eggs, the lobbying sys tem being such a mixture of the good and bad, and the job of separating them so difficult TTHE undersigned in this realm can speak from some experience one, at least. For not so many years ago he acted as a respectable front and chaperone arid bodyguard for one General Glenn JacksonJ on a mis sion to Washington to secure an army camp.' We don't know how the General came out but it cost us over $200, although the Medford Chamber of Commerce paid half our expenses. (We were overpaid at that!) But at any rate that experience taught us some thing about the lobbying business from the inside. The net result was to get Camp White. And the sole objective on our part was to give cer tain key figures in the army camp picture, the reasons why the Medford area would be excellently fitted for such a project, etc. etc. E DON'T know how ture had to do with the final result (our guess is General Jackson later did the' job pretty much single handed) but we do know that this "junket" in a small way was typical of what is going on in Washington in a larger way all the time, not so much as a dinner tab or a bottle of Scotch involved, all on the up-and-up, nothing but an earnest effort to sell a proposal to the powers that be, on the basis of the facts. . .-. AS REMARKED there is lobbying on a large scale in Washington just as free from objectionable features, and there is lobbying by professionals . on an even larger scale that is full of them. -How to separate the good from the bad get the wheat from the chaff is the problem. We wish the bi-partisan committee of investiga tion all the luck in the world but we seriously doubt if in this direction they accomplish enough to justify the time or the expense. R.W.R The Greater Consistency Inconsistency is to be one of .the major charges against Senator Morse in the approaching campaign. And if reports reaching this office are correct, not only is the same charge to be made against Senator Neuberger, but. the latter is to speak against his senior colleague, to drive the charge home. It seems there was a time when Mr. Neuberger was very critical of Mr. Morse, and characteristically he was not backward about coming forward to ex press himself. TX7HETHER a tape recording was made at the time, " or only quotations of his remarks are now avail able, our informant is certain,, some of the sharpest verbal barbs directed- in the direction of Oregon's senior Senator, will be fiom his party colleague and now loyal supporter. . Well if this is true it should add to the general excitement and gayety of the senatorial campaign. OOWEVER, it. is doubtful if the voters of the state will be greatly concerned about the issue of con sistency, applying either to Senators Neuberger or Morse. - ' It was Emerson who called consistency "the hob goblin of little minds," and the verdict of history has supported him. - " It was Abraham Lincoln who was, politically in consistent when he left the Whig party and joined the GOP; it was Teddy Roosevelt who in the same sense of 100 party regularity was inconsistent when he not only left the Republican party and formed the Progressive party,, but repudiated the Republican candidate he had selected to be his successor. DUT HISTORY never condemned them for these " actions, for in both cases while such rievintfnns were admitted politically, neia justuiea, oj a greater consistency namely be ing consistently true at all times to what they be lieved to be best for their people and their country. " R.W.R, Tuesday. February 28, 1956 ..... much that particular ven in both cases they were Matter of Fact By Joe and Stewart AJsop COUE AND DULLES - Washington In his appear ance before the Senate Foreign Relations committee, Secretary of "State John has now ele vated the p r a c tice of C o u elim to the - status of a major technique - of American for eign policy. Stewart Alsop For t h O S 6 whose memories do not go back so far, Dr. Coue was an ami able, bearded pseudo-physician who brought a new panacea out of France in the 1920's.'By tak- B inr thnuffht. a o j said Coue you could cure y era r s 'e 1 f of anything from a hern ia to the blind staggers. All you had to do was to repeat often enough, Joseph Aisop - with enough loud conviction, that "every day, in every way, everything is getting better and better." The fad caught on for a while; but after a bit it was observed that the blind staggerers went on staggering and the hernia sufferers could not do , without their trusses. Now, however, the Coue cure-all has been resur rected from obscurity, with the august endorsement of the Sec retary of State of the United States. . llfHAT Secretary Dulles told ' the Senate Foreign Rela tions committee in brief, was that the Soviet-Union was now losing the cold war. "One thing is certain," he declared with ex alted conviction. "The unity of the free world has caused the Soviet policy to fail, and right today they are trying to figure out a better one ... . At this moment in Moscow, they are having to revise their whole program. If we in this country had to admit that, we would be advertised all over the world as having failed. .They have fail ed." ' ' C These statements are truly re markable, for, y several rather simple reasons,; they are whoUy unsupported by a shred of intel ligence data.; They are not be lieved by, any of Secretary Dul les' own ambassadors. They are not believed, either, by - any member of the higher staff of the State Department, with the possible exception of, one or two courtiers who have a knack of believing what is currently ex pedient. And they are not be lieved, finally, by any leader among our major allies. -. : EXCEPT FOR John Foster Dulles, expert opinion un animously attributes the impor tant changes in ' the Kremlin's policy lines to a new self-confidence, derived from the great improvements in Soviet v mili tary posture and gains in heavy industry which Dulles himself mentioned to the Senators. Before he became a minority of one, even Secretary Dulles used to hold this same view. In earlier briefings of the press, Dulles himself has frankly stat ed that the Kremlin's abandon ment of the rigid - and brutal Stalinist line in favor of a more, flexible and less doctrinaire 'pol icy had greatly increased the dangers and risks of the free world. It would be interesting, then, to know what has changed the Secretary's mind. Certainly the hard facts of the world situation do not offer any support to the new Dulles view that "every day, in every way, everything is getting" bet ter and better." Throughout al most all of Asia, the Commun ists are making such rapid and disturbing progress that two warm Eisenhower-supporters and extremely acute observers, John Cowles and Paul Hoffman, have just retuned from Asian journeys to raise the alarm in this country. ! ;- F: THE Middle East, the out look is so dark that leading members of Secretary Dulles' own staff have been quoting the odds on an Arab-Israeli war as about 50-50 either way. Even if the war danger is surmounted this year, moreover, it is univer sally admitted that the new Communist - political offensive in the Middle East has already scored brilliant successes. It is also becoming clear that Com munist infiltration in certain of the Arab states is now very far advanced. V Even in the citadel of ' the Western ; alliance," ' in Western Europe, the situation shows signs of grave ; deterioration. France is in " chaos, and will hardly emerge from chaos with out the loss of the position ; in North Africa that makes France a major power. Britain, too, is in the midst of an acute economic crisis. Moreover, Far Eastern and Middle Eastern "revenues are all that balance Britain's books, and thus the Communist pressure in those areas now threatens Britain with irretriev able bankruptcy of a sort that would destroy Britain's . great power standing. Sr L,U. MMI r 1 Z"1? EVEN IN West Germany, American nolicv 'rests sole- fly on the frail foundation of a wonderfully brave but very old and very ill man, Chancellor Adenauer. The future German army is not shaping well. And almost every American observ er on the spot agrees that if anything happens to Adenauer, Germany will move rather ra pidly towards a neutralist posi tion, probably leaving NATO to buy German re-unification. Altogther, it is not a pretty picture. But perhaps the Coue method really will work in for eign policy, although it was a dud in medicine. Copyright 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS About 30 miles north of Gau dalajara is an interesting vil lage. Its name is Tequila. Wheth the liquor takes its name from the village or the vUlage takes its name from the liquor I don't know, not having investigated the historical back grounds. - At any rate, a large tequila distUlery is located there and. it provides a livelihood not only for the village but for the sur rounding country.. Tequila is as clear as gin or vodka or really good white mule. Its flavor varies kaU the way from awful to pleasant and satisfying, depending on 'how it is made and who makes it. The tequila sold in the border honky tonks scratches like a cat as 'it goes down and taste something like the residue from an oil re finery, but that distilled at the clean and modern looking plant at Tequila is above reproach. ; It is made from the sap; of the magney, a cactus - like plant that looks very much like iris. Its leaves are thick and fleshy, and when pressed yield the juice from which the liquor is made. It is fermented and then dis tilled, 'v. :' THE resulting product has con siderable authority, but isn't explosive in its effects. It is a very popular drink in Mexico One reason for its popularity is that it is good. . .- . r, , Another reason, I suspect, that it is cheap. It seUs in hear- by Guadalajara for six and a half pesos a quart, which is the approximate eqtiivalent of four bits American. THE , tequila plantations ex tend for a dozen miles or so along the highway on either side oflthe village. The plants are set out in rows and are carefully tended. ' .- ' At the proper time, the leaves are cut and assembled into bun dles. The bundles' are then load ed onto burros and transported by burro power to the plant. . There are trucks in Mexico. Plenty of them. The roads are full of them, ranging all the way from pickups to huger trailer affairs. It is inconceivable to an American that trucks wouldn't be used to haul in the maguey and the sugar cane and the corn. But so far in this part of Mex ico I haven't seen a single truck being used to haul in crops from the fields to the processing plants of the villages. . T WOULDN'T go so far to say - that they are . never used. Maybe they, use 'em at night. But as yet, in hundreds of miles of travel along the roads, I haven't seen any trucks . being put to such a use. The job 6f hauling the crops in from the fields seems to be reserved for the team composed of the peon and the burro. -; rpHERB is1 of course a reason -- why this might be true. ' The economy of western Mexico is still practically a feudal econ omy. There are many, MANY Mexicans in the bottom layers of the Mexican population. If they ate to EAT, they must have jobs. The lesson of history is that over the LONG PULL machines create jobs instead of destroying them. Machines cre ate jobs by the process of cheap ening the product so that it can be more widely consumed. At the same time, the machine increases the . productive capa city of the worker so that he can EARN a higher jwage, which in turn enables him to buy MORE OF THE PRODUCTS ; OF IN DUSTRY, thus - creating still more jobs. ;. "OUT in between the advent of the machine and the end re sult of the machine there is a gap. During this gap there are more workers than jobs. The western part of Mexico is still in this gap and I suspect that there . is presently considerable dread of the machine (such as trucks for hauling crops in from the fields) because for a while the use of the trucks would throw the peon and his burro out of a job. Without a job, the peon couldn't eat, and that would be bad. FOR REMEMBRANCE f Boston (UJD Massachu setts motor vehicle licenses wttl expire on the operator's date of birth after July 1, 1957.

To the Editor: In reading aU the controversy about flood con trol, fluoridation of our water supply, etc;,. etc., I am amused at the rest with which we south ern Oregonians tackle our prob lems. Often with more "heat than light," we "think on" situations confronting us. But give us time. They say you can . "lead a horse to . water but . you can't make him drink." We here in this valley can't even be led No sir-ee! We want to stumble bur own way. Perhaps it takes a little longer to reach the water but we reach it! We mutter about taxes and loosing our "elbow room," but managed to give our kids and the kids of the new people coming in the best educational opportu nities we can obtain. We are stricUy individualistic, often to the dismay and frustra tion of our brothers up state. But is this bad? I think not. No one can tell us what to do. The Union organizers found that out long ago. A strange breed, with strong loyalties, .. descendants of pio neers that had to work hard and fight for what they got. " Perhaps the new people mov ing in will temper us. I can see signs of it already, and it : will work if they don't let us know they are doing it.: : .-; I . often smile when I put money in a parking meter to think how hotly I once resented them. . All we ask is a little time. Name on file. r .- ' - Medford, Ore. No Bouillabaisse? To the Editor: I first read of fluoridation some six years ago and was duly impressed. Being of an inquiring mind, ' even though a conservative nature, I read all I could on the subject. My first impression and opinion changed . from one of approval to extreme doubt and has so re mained. - ' ; ( . The per cent of Improvement isn i enougn, not nearly enougn. Even 65 per cent, which is the highest, figure I have seen, isn't impressive enough when you consider it to mean only im provement, not that 65 per cent of the children were free from caries.1 1 keep thinking that any change- should be greater , than that. "After careful , consideration, and a little research, I have come up with a program, which, if adopted, will possibly - result in a much higher improvement; for example We are deficient in our diets in the following, ac cording to eminent nutritionists:' calcium, phosphorous, and io dine, all essential for strong Ed i toria I Comment LULL BEFORE THE STORM The Multnomah County Me dical society's riendorsement of the fluoridating municipal wa ter supplies to reduce tooth de cay , should encourage those groups working to win this ben efit for Portland children. Five years ago the society indorsed fluordiationand now, on the ba sis of impressive new evidence of results of experiments in oth er U. S. cities, the city's physi cians again have given it their okeh. This clear stand, coupled with with ; the results of the re cent scientific poll which show ed 52 per cent of Portlanders want fluoridation and another 20 per cent, are undecided, ought to persuade the reluctant members of the city council to give officials attention to the de sirability of fluoridating Bull Run water. Statistical proof of the harmless and beneficial na ture of fluorides is at hand, and the opinion survey sponsored by The Oregonian shows that es pousal of fluoridation does not necessarily mean political . sui cide. So there is no longer any excuse for the council to duck the issue. Although matters have not progressed this far, now may be: as good a time as any to remind proponents of fluoridation that their battle may not , be wonJ when the council finally shows a disposition to introduce and pass an ordinance for the treat ment of city water. The foes of fluoridation, while they may be in the minority, are well- organ ized, resourceful and vocaL In more than one city they have come from behind to steal vic tory i from health authorities who thought their fluoridation campaigns had been successful. An article in a recent issue of the magazine "Medical Econom ies" points out that where U. S. communities have voted on the question, fluoridation has lost more often than it has won, de spite the support of the Amer ican Medical assocaition, the American Dental association and the U. S. Public Health ser vice. ' An example is Cincinnati, where the city council in 1952 approved fluoridation after a series of public hearings ' when the issue was thoroughly thresh ed out. Only a few days before fluoridation was to begin, its enemies launched a bitter at tack" on if The city was flooded with scare literature which ac bones and sound teeth. About 90 per cent ef iciest. Copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, and cobalt also needed. Research could determine just which were needed in each locality. All we would then need to do is work out the formulae to be added to our water supply and there you have it. The cost would be very little. There would probably be a lit tle opposition from the few fa natical conservatives on this, but just bear in mind that all social advancement has had some opposition. I forgot to .mention the vita mins. There is every reason to believe that, they would be of benefit if added to our water supply in the proper quantities. Just to be on the safe side we would want to add the proper amount of chlorine, if for the smell and flavor alone. On Tuesday we could have pea soup and on Friday clam chowder.

'Don't Be a Birdbrain To the Editor: I have stop ped studying Spanish, German, French and such worn-out lan guages and am now - learning parakeet. Willy, the, better half of Nilly, is teaching mei "Human," said Willy the oth er day, "the story of my family, the bird family, is a long, sad tale. You humans are just John-ny-Come-Latelys on the world scene. My family was here when the dinosaurs were. Great, great, great, great (and more greats) grandfather was Archae: opteryx. His name comes from Greek archaios, meaning 'an cinte, plus pteron, meaning wing. Now.Archy was about the size of a full-grown crow, with a smaU head (not much brains, even for a bird) and very large eyes. There was no toothless beak, such as modern birds pos sess but instead both jaws were set with small sharp teeth, which means the guy was '- a meat-eater. Archy, unlike , Hit ler, was a real German. . . "Arcby, like you humans to day, had a wonderful chance but he muffed it and so all us birds today suffer for his mis takes. , "Now, you humans are losing your teeth very rapidly. You've nearly lost your sense of smell and your eyesight is getting bum. And iny gosh, you've al ready lost nearly aU your . hair and even that on some heads is going, going; gone What would a bird be like if he lost all his feathers? There was a judge's wife who" found out once, when she had chickens that were too cused focaT doctors of joining a Communist . "poison plot." With advertisements, radio speeches and door-to-door - tactics, the idea was hammered home that fluorides are a menace to health. In a referendum. the confused Cincinnatians : rejected fluorida tion by a 7 to 5 margin. Profiting by this example, pro-flouridation forces in Palo Alto prepared for a violent bat tle, and were ready for it when it came. They didn't spend their time trying to refute the charg es of the opponents, realizing that new "charges could be fabri cated as fast as the old ones were riddled. They took a posi tive educational approach, and when anti-fluoridators brought in food fadists and professional agitators from Seattle and San Diego to help, they were met w.it-h the slogan: "The mer chants of fear send their sales men to Palo Alto but we don't scare easily!" ' That did it. Fluoridation won the election, 7500 to 6000. ; Groups backing fluoridation in Portland should be ready to fight They can't expect to win solely on the basis of scientific evidence. The oppostion will be usng time-tested poltical tactics, and it will take forceful meth ods, employed with even greater effectiveness, - if we ,. are to achieve better dental health for Portland's children through the fluoridation route.
