Looks Like a Dark Horse
Well, Adlai Stevenson is a good sport. The upset
victory of Senator Kefauver in Minnesota must have
been a terrific blow but instead of calling everything
off or sulking in his tent the f ormer Illinois Governor
came up smiling, congratulated his successful rival
and announced to all and sundry he was staying in
the race.
COMMEND his spirit. But we fear this upset
will so strengthen the anti-Stevenson forces in
the Democratic convention, that any repetition of the
''miracle" of four years ago will be impossible.' Al
most anything can happen in politics, of course, but
that Chicago convention as usual will be made up
mostly of "professionals" and the one thing they will
insist upon will be a vote-getter, particularly in the
farm districts, to head the ticket. Mr. Stevenson has
shown no aptitude in that direction. In fact to be
beaten as badly as he was with the Humphrey-Freeman-Farmer
machine behind him pretty definitely ex
cludes Adlai entirely from that category.
TT WAS the hope of Governor Harriman of New
York and his "inactive supporters" that Kefauver
and Stevenson would kill each other off in the pri
maries, and thus let our former ambassador to Rus
sia in. One part of the hope has been realized, but if
Kefauver continues his winning ways, particularly in
California, Mr. Harriman won't have much elbow
room, if he does make the grade.
On the other hand even if the Senator from Ten
nessee, should sweep everything before him, his nom
ination would not be certain at Chicago. For dele
gates to party- conventions are for the most pail
strongly partisan and while they don't disregard pri
mary results, they refuse to be ruled by them. In oth
er words the professionals as before stated hold the
key-posts, and Kefauver isn't, and never has been
popular with the Democratic pros among them no
less a Democratic power than ex-President Truman
himself.
This might bring Governor Harriman off his "in
active post" it is reported that he has not only been
stung by the presidential bee but is running a high
fever therefrom but from this distance we can't see
the f ormer head of the Union Pacific and Tammany
choice, heading the Democratic ticket in 1956, or any
other time.
CX-PRESIDENT Truman, with his usual bounce, vi
tality, and self-confidence maintains that "any
Democrat can beat Eisenhower this year."
Harry must be thinking of what he did in 1948,
rather than of the political conditions and climate
that exist today and promise to continue until elec
tion day.
As so often noted, anything can happen "in love
war and politics" but we have been unable to find
anyone in Southern Oregon, regardless of party, who
shares "Papa" Truman's optimism as his daughter's
marriage approaches.
In fact as far as the local experts are concerned,
they think barring a physical upset of a serious na
ture, no one can beat "Ike."
They may be wrong or they may be right.
DUT IT all adds up, as we view it, to the probability
that history will repeat itself as, far as the Demo
cratic convention of this year is concerned.
That is, none of the pre-convention favorites will
get the nod, nor the white-haired boys thus far men
tioned, but some dark horse as Adlai Stevenson was
four years ago very dark too, but of the fighting
rather than the intellectual type, and a demonstrated
vote getter.
It might be Senator Symington of Missouri. It
might be someone else. But it won't be at least as
things look now, Stevenson or Harriman and prob
ably not Estes Kefauver.
WHAT is it? "Great Decisions" is a program of foreign affairs
information disseminated through press, radio, television and
brochures, designed to supplement discussion groups. It is informal
and is open to anyone or any group interested.
WHERE will it be held? "Great Decisions" tor 1956 is a county
wide program. Last year it was conducted with great success
in Portland, Corvallis, Eugene, Springfield, and elsewhere, and is
being repeated there again this year with apparently even greater
i success.
WHEN will it start? Sunday, March 25, is the starting time. One
week will be devoted to each of eight discussion topics, so the
program will conclude May 20. Those participating can start, or
stop, at any time.
VirHO is behind it? In Jackson county it is sponsored by a tempo
" rary committee organized only for this purpose. Don Hansen,
an attorney and member of the
eign Policy association is a co-sponsor in that it furnishes mate
rials and information on organization. The city schools and South
era Oregon college are cooperating in the presentation of mate
rials, and the radio and television stations and the daily newspaper
are making time and space available for the materials. The pro
gram elsewhere has received high praise from virtually every re
sponsible individual and agency
last year sent a telegram of congratulations to the Portland World
Affairs council, which sponsored the program there.

He's Cranky
To the Editor: With due re
spect to Dr. Holt both as a doctor
and as a citizen, I would like
to make some comments on the
comparison in his letter of Sun
day, March 18.
I am in complete agreement
with everything stated in your
letter. What iodine has done
for goiter possibly fluoride will
do for teeth. But, to the best
of my knowledge they didn't
dump iodine in any city water
supply but added it to salt which
can be bought at any grocery
store. For those who still want
goiters the non-iodized variety
is still available. It seems more
democratic to have it on a vol
untary basis than to make every
one using the water take castor
oil whether they need it or not.

What are the Facts?
To the Editor: Answers to
questions of Mrs. Norton Smith
in letter of Sunday, March 11:
Question No. 1 (Where and
when were studies made that
show one out of five children
will have mottled teeth from
drinking water fluoridated at
one part per million as proposed
for Medford?)
The U.S.P.H.S. when promot
ing fluoridation says through its
senior sanitary engineer, J. F.
Maier, "If there is some 10 to
20 per cent fluorosis in the com
munity, that would not be objec
tionable." After drinking fluor
idated water, 15 per cent of the
children in Aurora, 111., 36 per
cent in Moline, 111., and 56 per
cent in Florence, Ariz., have
fluorosis. Florence is hot and
children drink more water,
therefore the greater incidence
of fluorosis.
Question Nos. 2 and 3 (In
what cities were surveys made
by medical authorities which
show physical damage from
drinking water fluoridated at
one part per million? Will water
fluoridated at one part per mil
lion kill rats?)
Such surveys can only be
made by toxicological, chemical
and pathological analyses of the
internal organs of man. Ob
viously this cannot be done
except after death. For this
reason carefully set up and con
trolled experiments should have
been done on test animals before
fluoridation was recommended
for use by humans. That is why
the work done on chinchillas at
the Oregon Medical school was
so valuable. Although the work
was not completed and although
is was stated to have no value
in regard to humans, enough
work was done so that autopsies
showed the presence of liver
disease and disease of the gastro
intestinal tract. In order to deter
mine if this difficulty was pecul
iar to chinchillas alone, rabbits,
guinea pigs," hamsters and rats
were purchased. Careful tests
were made on these animals also.
The same results were obtained.
Fluorine is accumulative. When
small repeated doses are ingested
it accumulates in organs more
rapidly than when single larger
doses are ingested. But it takes
17 to 27 years to produce the
same results in humans that was
obtained in chinchillas and' ham
sters in a few months. Other
results in chinchillas were:
decrease in weight from 25 to 12
ounces; reduction in life span
from 8 or 9 years to 3; and
complete infertility. In Wichita
Falls, Tex., Mrs. G. A. Wolfe,
owner of Wolfe Kennels, found
the same effects upon her dogs
and puppies. Vital statistics from
U.S.P.H.S. for Grand Rapids,
Mich., four years after fluorida
tion show deaths from heart
disease increased from 585 to
1059; from nephritis 50 per cent
and from intra-cranial lesions 50
per cent. Population increase for
the same period was 7.4 per cent.
Antifluoridation Committee
By Mrs. George Jennings and
Anna M. Streed.
(Editor's note: In the answer
to Question No. 1, it should,
perhaps, be pointed out that
Aurora, 111., and Moline, 111.,
both have naturally-fluoridated
water slightly in excess of 1
ppm. Fluoride concentration in
water in Florence, Ariz., is not
at hand, but it is in an area
where many cities have natural
fluoridation far in excess of the
1 ppm recommended for Med
ford. Regarding Question 2 and
3, it "could be noted that more
than 4,000,000 Americans have
been residing for generations in
areas of natural fluoridation.
The Council on Dental Health
of the American Dental Associa
tion says: "Many studies have
been conducted among these
people by competent inves
tigators and the search has been
painstaking, yet no one has been
able to find any adverse physio
logical effect except an enamel
defect known as dental fluorosis
in areas where the fluoride con
centration is too high." The
answer fails to give the source
and the concentrations of flu
orides found in the chinchillas.

SOME GUESSING
We do not know very much
about the off-the-record speech
against Stalin which Khrush
chev made to
the Commu
nist Congress.
But there . is
no doubt that
the present
Soviet rulers
have long
been deter
mined to de
stroy Stalin's
Walter Lippmann r e p U t a tion.
There is nothing implausible in
their picture of themselves as
men who served Stalin because
they were terrorized by him.
Nor is it in the least improb
able that in the Russian revolu
tion, as in other revolutions be
fore it, the period of terrorism
comes at long last to an end,
once the great tyrant dis
appears. The news which is so meager
but yet so fascinating raises
many questions to which we
should like to know the answers.
We should like to know what it
is that has impelled Khrushchev
to launch such a big and spectac
ular campaign of defamation.
Why has he done that when,-
with his control of the Soviet
press, he could have gone on
ignoring Stalin, not mentioning
his name, and letting Stalin's
memory fade out? What has
made the anti-Stalinist campaign
necessary at this time?
IT DOES NOT seem to me at
all likely that Khrushchev has
unaeriaKen tnis campaign pri
marily as part of the general
Soviet campaign to win the good
opinion of the non-Communist
world. I say primarily because
it is plain enough that the open
disavowal of Stalin will have a
big effect on European and
Asian opinion. '
The Stalinist dictatorship and
the reign of terror were origi
nally the main reason for the
break between the Soviet Com
munist orbit and the Socialist
movements in the Western de
mocracies. if Khrushehev can
convince the non-Communist
Socialists, and indeed the par
ties of the left, -that the new
rulers of Russia have broken
with Stalin, he will have re
moved a powerful psychological
block to the revival of the policy
of collaboration in a popular
front.
Yet, while anti-Stalinism
serves the present policy of the
Kremlin, it seems to me most
improbable that Khrushchev
would be doing anything so
dangerous solely because it is
good propaganda abroad. The
Soviet propaganda , abroad has
been working effectively on the
line of not mentioning Stalin,
and the propaganda could have
gotten along" without this out
right deliberate destruction of
Stalin's image. There must be
developments in the heart of the
Soviet Union itself, and indeed
within the Communist Party it
self, which account for what is
now being done.
We do know, however, what
these developments are. We can
only guess, or rather assume,
that Khrushchev's main motive
is somehow that the destruction
of the Stalin legend is neces
sary to the survival of the
Krushchev oligarchy.
TT IS a temptation to make a
guess that the outcome of
what is happening in the Soviet
regime is likely to be some kind
of authoritarian military sys
tem, of which the hard core
would be the army rather than
the party. When Stalin died,
this was the view of many of the
best students of the Soviet sys
tem. There is evidence, how
ever, to the contrary. I have
been told by men, not Ameri-
As to the Grand Rapids,
Mich., figures, U. S. Congress
man A. L. Miller gave those fig
ures in a speech in congress. In
this regard, the following is
quoted from the Cincinnati
Enquirer, which made a study
of the matter: "To prove that
fluoridation was harmful, he
(Congressman Miller) charged
that U.S. Public Health Service
statistics showed that 'four years
later, after fluoridation had
started, there were 1059 deaths.
There was an increase of 50 per
cent in the deaths from nephritis.
There was an increase of 50 per
cent, over a period of four years,
in the deaths from intra-cranial
lesions.' What Representative
Miller had not bothered to bring
out was that his figures for 1944
were those for the city of Grand
Rapids all right. But for his 1948
figures he chose to include the
entire county of Kent, Mich., of
which Grand Rapids was a
Part.") . ..

Lippmann
cans, who saw a great deal oi
Khrushchev, Bulganin, Zhukov
and Molotov ' at- the Summit
meeting in Geneva, that Mar
shal Zhukov was treated as a
distinct inferior, and that there
was no doubt that the party
leaders were on top.
The present anti-Stalin cam
paign may not, therefore, stem
from the military leaders. But
we may well ask outselves
whether in the long run Khrush
chev and the party leaders, hav
ing destroyed the legend of the
dictatorship, can maintain
enough authority and discipline
to rule the Soviet empire. There
is a great risk for the Commu
nist Party in the Kremlin cam
paign to destroy the legend of
Stalin's infallability, to teach
the people that it would- have
been desirable, had it been pos
sible, to over-throw the deified
master of the Communist world.
This campaign is teaching the
Russians that there might be
good reason to rebel against
Communist authority.
We must not, therefore, rule
out the possibility that the mili
tary men will become more
powerful in the government if
the party authority weakens.
HPHE military men will, of
course, become more power
ful in the realm of foreign rela
tions. They may already be. It
is often said, quite rightly, that
though the tactics may change,
the goals of Soviet policy do not
change. This is undoubtedly so
true of the immediate concrete
goals of Soviet policy that one
may say that these goals would
be what they are if the Commu
nist rulers were replaced by
Russian nationalists. '
There are certain fundamental
goals of Russian policy which
are much older than the Com
munist regime. The present line
of the iron curtain in Europe,
which means the domination of
Eastern Europe from Moscow,
has been at least a dream of
Russian policy for a hundred
years. All Russian governments
have insisted on the domination
of Poland, and. all have worked
toward the domination of the
Danube Valley and of the Bal
kan peninsula.
The drive of the Russian em
pire into the Middle East and
toward the Indian Ocean was
not invented, by the Commu
nists. It reflects a deep and last
ing Russian hope and . ambition.
The same can be said of the Rus
sian ambition to dominate the
neighborhood of Eastern Siberia
as against Japan and as against
China.
'I'jtij point i wish to make is
4- that the goals of Russian
policy are not primarily Com
munist and that they will not be
altered, no matter how much the
regime inside Russia becomes
altered.
Indeed the more the internal
regime is Russian, nationalist
and patriotic, rather than Marx
ist and doctrinaire, the more we
may count on the Russian state
pursuing stubbornly and tena
ciously the old Russian objec
tives in Eastern ' Europe, in the
Middle and Far East.

US-India Relations
Improvement-Unlikely
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru has made it clear that
no improvement in relations be-
tween the
United States
and India can
be hoped for
in the immed
iate future.
Secretary of
State John
Foster Dulles
conferred with
Nehru, for
i j
Charles McCann nuurs uujrmg
his tour of Asia.
There was considerable hope
that Dulles might be able to
soften Nehru's hostility to Amer
ican foreign policy.
But it now appears that Nehru
gave Dulles a lecture on this
country's shortcomings.
Nehru disclosed in a speech to
his Parliament Tuesday that he
took United States policy apart,:
point by point, and expressed
his disapproval of it jrisofar- as
Asia is concerned. '
Meeting Announced
A few hours after fhe news
about Nehru's speech arrived, it
was announced in Washington
that he would visit President Ei
senhower in July.
What can be accomplished by
Matter of Fact By joMPh aiSoP
GOOD-BYE WASHINGTON
Washington Dear Stew:
I leave tomorrow for two
months and a half in the Middle
East; and so, as our custom is,
J want to try to sum up how
things look to me on the eve
of my departure.
Maybe advancing years are
making me a bit obsessive, but
in my ooinion every other fea
ture of the na
tional scene
pales into the
dimmest insig
ificance when
compared to
our foreign
and. defense
problems. Of
course it's im
portant that
Joseph Aisop the country is
prosperous. Of course it s im
portant that we have in Eisen
hower that very unusual being,
a leader who is loved.
But the whole smiling- pros
pect of present day America can
prove and will prove to be'an
empty and dangerous delusion,
if the cause of freedom in the
world is not upheld. You may be
shocked when I say so; yet it
seems to me that our present
situation has more than a flavor
of the situation in Britain in the
late '30s.
"DRITAIN was prosperous then,
1)
remember. The Conservative
governments of Baldwin and
Chamberlain commanded im
mense majorities. The opposi
tion was feeble and feckless, as
I'm afraid I think the Democrats
have been these last three years.
None but a very few, who were
thought to be merchants of
gloom and doom," were worried
about the way the whole Eur
opean balance of power was
turning against Britain. And
then this vast shift in the power
balance produced its inevitable
effect; and all that had seemed
so good and hopeful proved to
be ruinous and wrong.
I am not comparing the Eis
enhower administration to the
Baldwin, and Chamberlain gov
ernments. The personalities and
outlooks could hardly be more
different. But I am suggesting
that in the midst of our pros
perity, and perhaps because of
our prosperity, we are passively
assenting to the same kind of
vast, unfavorable shift in the
world balance of power that fin
ally brought Britain to ruin.
As the supreme example of
this neglect, I would cite the
change that is now going on in
the status of the American Stra
tegic Air Command.
' -
THIS single force, I need hard
ly point out, is the sole shield
and buckler of the free world.
It is the central, basic instru
ment of the defense of the Unit
ed States. It is what Secretary
of State Dulles had in mind in
his remarks about "massive re
taliation"; and it is what Secre
tary of Defense Wilson and
President Eisenhower have in
mind now, when they talk
about "atomic stalemate."
You and I have alresdy writ
ten so much about the impair
ment of the Strategic Air Com
mand's striking power that a
good many people who are kind
enough to read our stuff are
beginning, I'm afraid, to be
thoroughly bored by the whole
subject. But I hope that you
this meeting it is now hard to
foresee.
Undoubtedly, on the surface,
it will be friendly. But the at
mosphere probably will be chilly
enough to offset any coincident
Washington heat wave.
Dulles went to New Delhi,
Nehru's capital, after attending
the meeting of the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization coun
tries in Karachi, Pakistan.
Dulles said on his arrival:
"Basically, there is far more of
agreement than disagreement be
tween our two countries. We do
have some differences. But the
differences are characteristic of
w
9i
WJ
will go on writing about It, all
the same, for the very good rea
son that no subject is more important.
"C'OR what, in essence, is the
present American policy?
The present policy is to toler
ate a situation in which about
two-thirds of SAC's total strik
ing force is dependent upon
overseas air bases? The policy is
to tolerate this dependency al
though those SAC air bases are
beginning to be hopelessly vuln
erable, both strategically and
politically, because of the Soviet
jet bomber and ballistic missile
programs. The present policy, in
short, is to pretend that the new
power the Soviets are gaining
just isn't there, or what they
won't use this new power any
way. 1
The arguments that the Sov
iets won't use their new power,
which they are spending billions
to acquire, are just about as
logically convincing as the argu
ments that made Pearl Harbor
a catastrophic surprise. And
even if the Soviets do not .use
their new power, SAC's vulner
ability will still be a hard fact.
With two-thirds of SAC's strik
ing force in danger of being
neutralized any fine morning,
it is misleading and mischiev
ous to talk about "stalemate."
When the enemy has the power
to kill, and we have only he
power to wound, there will be
no stalement.
The defense problem is there
fore the key problem, and you
will have to go on dealing with
that. As to what I shall find
in the Middle East, meanwhile,
I follow our usual rule of keep
ing an open mind until one sees
the facts on the spot. But I rath
er think I may find the kind
of local reflection of a general
shift in the balance of power
that one also saw in Europe in
the '30s.
e
YOU recall how the sort of
people who are now called
"uncommitted" went all out, in
the '30s, to adjust their surf
boards so they could ride the
waves of the future. I have a
notion that a lot of surf board
adjustment is going on now, in
the Middle East and elsewhere.
I suspect, too, that - it wasn't
very brilliant to make such an
effort, at the famous Summit
meeting, to convince the Soviets
and the rest of the world of
our devotion to peace at any
price.
In any case, I shall be- look
ing into and trying to report
on one very critical aspect of
the shift in the world power
balance, while you in Washing

How Much Should A
Funeral Service 'Cost?
A funeral service should cost no more, in pro
portion, than a person would spend for anything
else in accordance with his usual standard of
living. We discourage anyone from "going over
board" and creating an obligaiion that would
mean an eventual hardship.
In any event, it is something you should
knew before such an expenditure has to be
made. It costs nothing to find cut, and there is
no obligation involved.
