MAIL TRIBUNE
Spring?
Despite (or, perhaps, because of) the week end
snow, we have decided it is time to note the immin
ence of spring.
The calendar says it is a week and a half away,
still. But who pays attention to the calendars in gaug
ing important things of the spirit like the change
of the seasons?
THE birds have been making cheerful noises in the
branches on recent mornings. The fat, sassy quail
are making their morning and evening pilgrimages
through the neighborhood. An acquaintance exclaim
ed about an ambitious crocus poking its head above
the ground.
And, most important, it is beginning to smell like
spring.
Autumn heralds its arrival with a feeling in the
bones; spring does so with a freshness in the breeze,
a barely detectable tang in the air, a softness and a
lightness which, though tentative, marks a major de
markation..' Jr.
f)H, we'll have more rain. But it will be wanner and
gentler. "We may even have some more snow
although it is unlikely to be heavy, or last very long.
And we'll have that long, bright cold spell which or-
chardists and housewives dread for its effect on fruit
and curtains.
But the important thing, friends, is that spring is
on its way. The old will feel younger, and the young
foolish.
Soon we can be concerned with mowing the grass
and watching the leaves flower the trees instead of
worrying our winter-bound souls with such man
made cares as taxes and business conditions and
fluoridation and annexation and sewage disposal and
who's-going-to-run-for-what.
It won't last. It never does. We might as well en
joy it while it's here. E.A.
About Communications
Whenever a matter of interest to many people
arises, the number of letters to the editor increases
along with the interest. Almost always just preceding
an election this is true. It is true in the current dis
agreement about the proposal to add fluorides to the
city water suppjy.
This newspaper has'long had a "wide-open" pol
icy on letters to the editor. That is to say, it probably
prints as high a proportion of them as any paper of
its size anywhere. In general, the decision to print
letters is based , on whether or not they are within
the limits of space and good taste, or whether or not
they are potentially libelous.
"UR length limit is 400 words an arbitrary limit,
but one designed to give everyone a fair chance
to participateiin the paper's "public forum" column.
It is enforced rigidly as a matter of fairness to all.
Ordinarily, the only editing which is done on let
ters is to make sure they do not go over the 400 word
limit, or for clarification,, or to eliminate words or
phrases which the editors fel to be questionable or
objectionable.
DUT it must be remembered that the communica-
tions column, like all the rest of the paper, is the
ultimate responsibility of the editorial staff, even
though they may disagree violently with what the cor
respondent may say.
The fat that they disagree has no bearing on
whether ornot a letter is printed. Their responsibility
for the integrity of the column, however, does.
It is obviously impossibleito check the accuracy
of each statement in each letter printed, and ordinar
ily no attempt is made to do so.
TTHE point to which this discussion is leading is that
it must, in the final analysis, be the responsibility
of the editorial staff to decide which letters are print
ed and which are not. Ordinarily letters are printed,
in full or in substantial part, without question.
But if the editorial staff has what they honestly
consider good and sufficient reasons for not publish
ing a letter, it will not appear.
We hope that these instances will be as rare in
the future as they have been in the past. E.A.
Post Script (Fluoridation)
As a post script to the above, for a time we con
sidered withholding from publication a letter which
appeared in Sunday's paper from a Texas physician,
in opposition to fluoridation.
We finally decided to publish it, however, in the
interests of full discussion on a subject of interest,
even though we believed it to be misleading and un
f actual, and question the doctor's status as an "auth
ority." We much prefer to take the word of local doc
tors and dentists, and those researchers who have
made original and thorough studies of the matter.
i
THE doctor claims, as though it were bad, that 65
" per cent of the children in a town where. there is
fluoridation had cavities. That sounds pretty good in
Medford where children without cavities are few and
far between.
The good doctor's interest in Medf ord's problems
is somewhat $bscure, but may stem from the fact that
he is president of the Natural Foods associates,
among which are leaders of the anti-f luoridation or
ganization. E.A.

Matter of Fact by
THE REAL NIXON STORY
Washington The people who
are saying that President Eisen
hower "is getting ready to dump
Nixon are
even more
wrong than the
people who
are saying that
the President
is far too fond
of Nixon to tol
erate any other
nominee.
Josepb Aisop i n e real
Nixon story is a lot more com
plicated than that. It is true
that the President has a warm
affection for the Vice-President.
S3 Tf i also inia
that the Presi
dent, being a
kind man and
grateful to
Nixon for his
loyal service,
would much
prefer to make
no change in
the Republican

year. Thus those who are betting
that Dick Nixon will get the
nod again have by far the best
of the bargain, as of. now.
But for all his kindness and
loyalty to his friends, Dwight D.
Eisenhower has also shown that
he can be pretty cold-blooded
about members of his team who
cease to look like assets. Harry

We're All ifuman
To the Editor: In regards to
this fluoridation business, I
would like to speak as a mother.
I am not concerned about my
self I am concerned about my
children's health and welfare
and like every mother, I do not
wish my children to suffer den
tal caries if it is at all within
my power nor do I wish to
burden my husband with dental
bills. However, I do not feel
that artificial fluoridation is the
answer to my problem. With a
little common sense and the fac
tual information that is avail
able to practically anyone, I
think we should weigh the good
against the bad and then decide
if this artificial : fluoridation is
all for the best. I have put to
gether certain things you may
or may not wish to consider.
(1) According to factual in
formation 33 U.S. cities adopt
ed artificial fluoridation, then
after a short time, they turned
right around and., voted to have
it removed. Why? (Medford
would greatly benefit by inquir
ing of these cities as to their
reasons for changing their mind
benefit financially maybe).
, (2) My husband, who has liv
ed in Medford , all of His life,
and always drank an abundance
of Medford water has perfect
teeth. Now, I am sure there are
other exceptions like my hus
band and there will continue
to be exceptions. Why should
these individuals be subjected
to fluoridation?
(3) People are inclined to
compare chlorination with arti
ficial fluoridation . chlorine
can be easily removed from the
water but fluoride can not. (If
you boil fluoride, . it becomes
more concentrated).'
(4) Some are inclined to put
certain influential people on a
pedestal thinking they could do
no wrong but I think we
should remember that we are
all human beings and capable
of making mistakes.
(5) No doctor in his right
mind says: "Here's some medi
cine, take as much as you like
you are bound to get the right
dosage." That to. me is a good
example of wfiat fluoridation of
water would be like whether
1 ppm or not.;
I sincerely hope and pray that
we are nol letting ourselves be
talked into something that we
may regret later.

Old Time Prospector
To the Editor: One of the ap
parent reasons the old pack
horse prospector had more or
less "lucky breaks" on his trips
was, when he. went four or five
miles from headquarters, he al
ways went prepared with a light
camping equipment, along with
a mortar and pestle to sample
his discoveries. He had no jeep
or gas wagon to run out for a
day or so. Consequently he did
a thorough job with his pan,
pick and shovel over a radius
of his temporary camp.
- He really saved time by that
as one trip to a certain designa
tion would really give a clue,
providing he was in the area
of mineralized formations. The
Lyarious formations are import
ant to the experienced prospect
or, depending upon what he is
more familiar with. Anyway
using a medium-size gold pan
and being near panning water
is a time saver and good indi
cator. Bert Kissinger,

IKe "-,
Joe and Stewart Aisop
Truman might have, indeed he
probably would have, fought to
the end for any crony as close
to him as Secretary of the Air
Force Harold Talbott was close
to Eisenhower. From Eisenhow
er, however, Talbott got the axe
in very short order, with no
greater consolation than a nice
note and a military review. By
the same token, the President
did not conspicuously rush to
the defense of his first Secre
tary of Health Education and
Welfare, when Mrs. Hobby was
in trouble with the Salk vaccine
program.
FOR this reason, the President's
affection for the Vice-President
is no sure guarantee of
Nixon's future. The real status
of Nixon was implied very clear
ly at the President's' historic
press conference, when Eisen
hower declared on the one hand
that the choice of the Vice-Presidential
nominee would have to
wait until the Republican con
vention, and on the other hand
praised Nixon in the highest
terms. Those who speak with
undoubted authority have now
paraphrased these seemingly
double-edged Presidential re
marks about as follows:
"I'd like to have Dick Nixon
on the ticket with me, but I'm
not going to commit myself be
cause something may happen to
change my mind."
For Nixon, therefore, the next,
six months are going to be a par
ticularly dangerous obstacle race,
in which the penalty of failure
will be the President changing
his mind. The obstacles ahead
of Nixon are only too easy to
discern.
THERE is his marked unpopu
larity, first of all with the
type of Republicans who would
prefer a Vice-Presidential nom
inee like Governor Christian
Herter of Massachusetts. There
is second, and actually more im
portant, the bad showing Nixon
has been making in the political
polls. In these reporters' opinion,
the results of the poll-takers are
almost meaningless ' until the
actual eve of the voting; but
politicians scare very easily if
the polls seem to show that a
man is not a winner. It was this,
in the last analysis, that cost
Robert A. Taft the Republican
Presidential nomination.
The polls alone can perhaps
cause Nixon to be dropped, if
they show, for example, that an
Eisenhower-Nixon ticket is mark
edly weaker than an Eisenhower
Herter ticket. The polls may per
haps do just this, although no
one can tell, until the noses are
counted, how much the Presi
dent's impaired health will cause
the voters to weigh their choice
by their opinion of the Vice
President. But then Dick Nixon, it should
be remembered, has very great
assets on his side, as well as
very considerable obstacles to
overcome. When Nixon has got
into hot water, in the first place,
he has invariably done so by
sounding too much like a parti
san politician; but he has sound
ed like a partisan politician pre
cisely because the President,
who wants to be above politics,
has rather shrewdly deputed the
political infighting to his Vice
President. Nixon has far more
ability and judgment than his de
tractors suppose, and unless the
President asks him to make par
tisan political noises, he is en
tirely capable of striking an al
together different note in the
next six months.
rj ADDITION, the great ma
jority of Republican organi
zations outside the Eastern states
quite clearly prefer Nixon to any
other Vice-Presidential nominee.
And finally and above all, there
is no visible substitute for Nixon
on whom the President's per
sonal advisors can easily unite.
Thomas E. Dewey would prefer
Dewey, Harold Stassen would
prefer Stassen, and so on through
the list of hopefuls; and all the
hopefuls' friends are similarly
divided.
For Nixon, therefore, posses
sion of the Vice-Presidency is
pretty certain to prove nine
points of the law, unless the polls
go too drastically against him
or he makes some really bad
bobbles.

Congress Planning Re
Procedures
By WILLIAM T. STONE
Washington Operations of
the super-secret Central Intelli
gence Agency, hitherto largely
exempt from public surveil
lance and normal congressional
review, are now facing . inten
sive scrutiny by Congress and
the Executive Branch of the
government.
President Eisenhower, fol
lowing a recommendation of the
Hoover commission, recently
created an independent board of
review composed of eight pri
vate citizens to make periodic
checks on, CIA and other gov
ernment agencies that collect
foreign inteUigence. The board
will report only to the chief
executive, but Congress is pre
paring to act on proposals, also
urged by the Hoover commis
sion, calling for a congression
al watchdog committee to over
see "hush-hush" intelligence ac
tivities. ,
'Watchdogs' Planned
No less than 25 resolutions
providing for some kind of con
gressional watchdog group are
pending in Senate or House.
The Senate Rules committee on
Feb. 23 reported a measure,
sponsored by Sen. Mike Mans
field (D-Mont), and 34 other
senators, to set up a watchdog
committee. The group would be
composed of six senators and an
Pope Pius Warns
On Communist Peace
Vatican City (U.R) Pope
Pius XII warned diplomats Sun
day that a Communist "peace"
is only a "precarious truce dur
ing which they await the social
and economic collapse of the
other peoples."
The Pope addressed diplomats
from 42 nations in a mass audi
ence at which they paid tribute
to his life-long efforts for peace
and congratulated him on his
80th birthday and the 17th an
niversary of his reign. ;
The pope did not mention
Communism by name in his
French language address but he
made a brief and clear reference
to the Communist "peace offen
sive." "Such formulas as 'national
unity' or 'social progress' should
not deceive us," he said. "For
militant materialism, 'peace
time' represents but a truce, a
very precarious truce, during
which it awaits the social and
economic collapse of the other
peoples."
Unless there is an unexpected
change in the atmosphere, the i
terrorism which broke out in
April last year undoubtedly will j
intensify. i
That will mean a real crack-.
down, long threatened, by the I
British forces under Field Mar- j
shal Sir John Harding, govern-:
or, and commander-in-chief. He
has been holding back for sev
eral weeks.
Hope Faded
During that time, hope has
first waxed, then "waned that a
settlement might be reached.
Under it, the 500,000 people
of Cyprus would be given home
rule. Britain would keep con
trol of internal security.

his demands progressively.

ations .committees. The group
would supervise CIA much as
the Joint Atomic Energy com
mission oversees the Atomic En
ergy commission.
The need for broader congres
sional scrutiny of CIA and the
wisdom of creating a watchdog
committee have been sharply
debated for several years. The
executive branch has been re
luctant to endorse such propos
als for fear that in practice they
might have an adverse effect
on CIA's sensitive work. Some
members of Congress have felt
that the agency's activities al
ready are effectively supervis
ed. This view is held by those
members of the Appropriations
and Armed Services commit
tees who now check informally
on CIA's work.
Free From Review
Advocates of a special watch
dog group, on the other hand,
are troubled because CIA iS
freed from virtually every form
of ordinary . congressional re
view. Only a handful of mem
bers in each house not more
than 16 in all see the annual
appropriation figures. Mansfield
and co-sponsors of his resolu
tion insist that this situation
must be changed. Congression
al review, they assert, is in
keeping with democratic pro
cesses and is required to pre
serve public confidence in the
intelligence agency. Without
such regular review, Congress
has no way of knowing whether
CIA is doing a good or bad job.
Four investigations of CIA
have been made by independ
ent boards or commissions since
the agency was created under
the National Security Act of
1947. Surveys were conducted
by task forces of the first and
second Hoover commissions
in 1949 and 1955 which sub
mitted reports to Congress. Two
special surveys were carried out
in 1951 and 1954 by groups
whose findings were reported
confidentially to the President.
Weaknesses Cited
The published reports, while
indicating progressive improve
ment in the overall effective
ness of the intelligence effort,
