Ashland Request Is Granted
What a pleasant surprise!
We have received a request from Ashland to
express our views on the
problems, and present our
So often of late we have been requested to stop
expressing our views on
chanere the views we have
is most reassuring and refreshing.
We always did like Ashland. They are a fair
minded, well informed, tolerant group over there,
and inclined to think out
of accepting the sure-fire
including the Big Brass m
And it seems there has been a special interest
in Ashland of late as to what to do with Germany in
Europe and with Israel in the Middle East.
WELL this department knows what to do with them,
just as a few hundred million individuals in
habiting this whirling and harassed globe also know.
In fact, it is rather simple. 0
Take Germany, for example:
No. 1: Germany should be united, one nation
under one flag and all foreigners and foreign troops
withdrawn.
Then Germany should be disarmed and neutral
ized relieved of any military burdens financial or
otherwise, and allowed to follow its true genius which
outside of making good music and beer, is industrial
development, improvement and expansion. . Under
such conditions the standard of living in united Ger
many would reach astronomical heights.
THE United Nations should then take charge as
trustee, but unfortunately so long as the one
power veto exists, this would be difficult, if not
impossible, to achieve. So Uncle Sam and John Bull
should take over and not only guarantee German
neutrality but solemnly pledge to declare war on
Soviet Russia, or any other country, daring to violate
that neutrality.
Russia would like to take over unarmed Germany,
of course, but it would not risk war particularly an
atomic war with, the USA to do it.
So there you are the Germany problem
SOLVED ! Not so difficult, was it?
.
TSRAEL and the-Middle East present an impasse
that is somewhat similar.
The Arabs publicly proclaim nothing will satisfy
them until the Jewish intruders are either extermi
nated or driven out of their "holy land" and into
the sea. The Israelites naturally don't relish such a
fate and declare they will fight to the last gun and
the last man, to retain their identity as a nation, and
an independent one.
There is little evidence either nation will mater
ially modify its position.
SO WHAT?
Well, that isn't as hard to' answer as it may seem.
Just establish a neutral zone between Israel and
the Arabs large enough and sufficiently well forti
fied to render a surprise invasion by either side a
very unappetizing sort of venture.
Then assuming the United Nations veto still ren
ders any international agreement impossible, let the
United States and Great Britain enter into an agree
ment similar to the one regarding Germany and let
the world know about it, particularly Soviet Russia,
with special emphasis that any violation of that zone
neutrality by any one will mean war, by land, sea and
in the air. ...
This would allow Israel to follow its natural bent
which is not war but peaceful commerce, and the
Arabs, no longer fearing Israel aggression, could in
their large, thinly populated territory find a place for
their refugees, and enjoy whatever it is Arabs do
enjoy, to their hearts content, ad infinitum!
gO THAT settles problem No. 2!
Lack of space, we grant, compels a certain over
simplification, but we h?-e every confidence that
Ashland at least those '.king the request-will
agree that the above gives uiem a basic outline which
if followed will in due course peacefully solve two
of the world's most immediate, pressing and com
plicated problems.
And we shall make no charge, nor expect any
thanks or Nobel peace prize.
The only worry, as far as we are concerned, is to
convince someone ANY one outside of Ashland
of the wisdom, vision, desirability and efficacy of
such a solution of two of the world's most perplexing
problems. R.W.R.

Disputes Quotation
To the Editor: A recent letter
to the editor appearing in an
Oregon newspaper objected to
fluoridation of drinking water,
contending that a recent pro
nouncement of His .Holiness,
Pope Pius XII, in his address to
the First International Congress
of Histopathology of the Nervous
System, on the 14th of Septem
ber, 1952, condemned fluorida
tion. This printed address by
Pope Pius XII has been read
carefully and I find no state
ment or inference which would
justify the statement that Pope
Pius XII has condemned fluor
idation of community drinking
water.
Before the Pope issues a pro
nouncement, a thorough search
is made by a research staff to
avoid any possible error. One is
not justified in reading words
or inferences into public state
ments. We must bear in mind
that the fluoridation subject
with its pro and con arguments
has been known by the Church
for at least 25 years. We can
conclude that if the Church be
lieved that fluoridation was
contrary to moral principles,
then the Church would have
made such a pronouncement.
The Church has always been in
terested in the study and ad
vancement of science. '
In studying the Pope's mes
sage it is noted that he encour
ages the study and science of
medicine and speaks of the
common good on the commu
nity, proclaiming that the State
has as its function the care for
the common good in the com
munity. Applying this principle,
the Pope says that the State must
first have legal authority. The
legal authority of fluoridating
water has been clearly establish
ed by law. Its Constitutionality
has been approved by the Su
preme Court of the State of Ore
gon. The next principle t that the
Pope announces before an Act
can meet the common good is
the principle of a question of
fact. It has been approved by
practically all of the National,
State, and County medical and
dental associations, as well as
the United' States Public Health
Service, as causing no injury to
the body but on the contrary
making substantial reductions
in the amount of tooth decay
up to 60 per cent. Thus, it would
clearly appear that principle has
been satisfied.
Msgr. Robert Peters, writing
for "The Register", the official
diocesan newspaper of Peoria,
111., stated that fluoridation of
drinking water does not involve
any moral doctrine and one
should be free to vote on
fluoridation according to what
he or she believes will best serve
the -community.

Retirement at 62
To the Editor: Your recent
editorial on the proposal, passed
by the House of Representatives,
to lower to 62 years the age at
which women may become elig
ible for social security benefits,
states very succinctly some of
the arguments which have been
made for and against this change
in the present law.
The proposed amendment is
similar to, but would not go
quite as far as, my own Senate
bill, which would lower the
eligibility age for women to 60
years. This change has been rec
ommended by Dr. Arthur J.
Altmeyer, for 20 years a leader
in this field and Commissioner
of SociaL Security until April
1953. It was one of the annual
recommendations of the Federal
Security Agency to Congress be
tween 1942 and 1952. Unfor
tunately, the Eisenhower admin
istration has told the Congress
that it opposes lowering the
eligiblity age for women.
The cost of the change to age
62 which would be made under
the House bill has been cited as
one objection to this step. Yet,
according to the chief actuary of
the Social Security Administra
tion, it would increase the cost
of the system by only Vi per
cent of payroll. He testified be
fore the Senate Finance Com
mittee that all the proposed ex
tensions of H.R. 7225 would be
more than met by the 1 per
cent increase in payroll deduc
tions authorized by that bill, so
the actuarial soundness of the
social security fund 'would not
be endangered.
I believe that the other ob
jection to lowering the eligibilty
age for women that more
people should be "encouraged"
to work as long as they can
misses the point. Retirement on
social security is, of course, vol
untary, and no employer should
use it as an excuse for dismiss
ing willing and capable workers
when they reach eligibilty age,
whether that be 65, 62 or 60.
But I do not think the right
way to "encourage" people to

Campaign Probe,
May
Call on States
Washington U.R) Congress
beset by demands to tighten
laws on campaign contributions
and spending is weighing the
possibility of turning part of the
problem back to the states with
a plea to "do it yourself."
A Congressional Quarterly
survey shows that currently lit
tle is done in the states.
The issue will come to a head
soon' after the Easter recess,
when the Senate takes up the
task of revising the Corrupt
Practices Act. Laxness of this
law was dramatically demon
strated by the $2,500 offer from
an oil company attorney, re
ported and rejected by Sen.
Francis Case (R-S.D.) just before
the vote on the natural gas bil.
Two Approaches
Senators will have before
them two approaches to the
problem. One was devised in
1955 by Sen. Thomas C. Hen-
nings Jr. (D-Mo.) and endorced
by the Senate Rules Committee.
The other is sponsored by Major
ity Leader Lyndon B. Johnson
(D-Tex.) and Minority Leader
William F. Knowland (R-Calif.)
Their bill, written after the Case
incident, has been co-sponsored
by 83 other Senators.
The two measures agree in
most respects, but split sharply
on control of primary elections
and nominating conventions.
Existing law, which everyone
agrees is inadequate, excludes
primaries and other nominating
devices from its provisions. Hen-
nings' bill specifically includes
them.
The Johnson-Knowland bill
excludes them, but provides for
candidates for federal office to
file copies in Washington of
whatever reports their indivi
dual states require on their cam
paigns for nomination.
Hennings has said he will
fight to bring primaries under
federal regulation. Johnson and
Knowland show no signs of
backing down from their oppo
sition to this. The outcome of the
battle will turn, in part at least,
on how adequate other Senators
think existing state laws are.
States Recorded '
Congressional Quarterly's sur
vey of those laws shows:
Forty-two states with some
regulation. Six Delaware, Illi
nois, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada
and Rhode Island with none.
Thirty states limit the amount
that may be spent in securing a
nomination for the Senate; 18 do
not. Limits range from $2,500 in
Ohio to $60,000 or more in
Oklahoma.
Thirty-one states have limits
on spending for nomination to
the House; 17 do not. Ohio and
Utah set the lowest ceiling,
$2,500; Oklahoma and Georgia,
the highest, $25,000 or more.
Complete reports on campaign
contributions are required in 19
states. No reports need be filed
in 17. The other 12 have partial
coverage, applied to candidates
or political committees, but not
both.
As for campaign expenditures,
complete reports "are required in
31 states; candidates but not
committees must report in 11;
there is no coverage in the six
remaining states.
. In Oregon, candidates for
nomination to both Senate and
House may spend 15 per cent of
one year's salary. Reports of
campaign contributions must be
filed by political,, committees,
and reports of campaign expen
ditures by both committees and
work longer is to postpone the
day when they may draw their
modest retirement insurance
under the social security laws.

Malenkov did not go to Britain
as a guest of the government.
He went instead, in his capacity
of minister for electric power
stations, as the guest of the Brit
ish Electricity Authority.
Georgi Makes Switch
The program for Malenkov
and his fellow members 'of a
delegation of Russian engineers
was carefully worked out. It
called for an exhaustive, and
exhausting, tour of electric pow
er installations all over Britain.
But Malenkov had hardly ar
rived when he took the ball away
from his hosts. He showed no
interest in power stations. He
has left the official party at

candidates.
The Rules Committee major
ity have favored Hennings' bill
found ample legal precedent for
federal regulation of primary
election finances. It said cover
age was "desirable, since in ap
proximately one-third of the
states success in the primary is
tantamount to success in the
final election." The Administra
tion endorsed this view.
The issue is a thorny one for
Congress, because no legislator
feels immune from the suspi
cions raised by the Case inci
dent. There is strong pressure to
"do something about it," and
backers of the Hennings bill will
exploit that concern for the rep
utation of Congress in their plea
for direct federal regulation.
But many Congressmen are re

from the states to the national
government. No one is predict

smiling surface, at least in the
small circle of those who know
the inwardness of Britain's posi
tion, Middle Eastern develop
ments are causing gloom so deep
that it all but approaches des
pair. "It feels now like 1936 or even
1937." Again: "This is the worst
moment in the last 10 years;
I've not felt like this since just
before Munich." And once again:
"Finding a way out in the Mid
dle East is so urgent that it may
not be just a matter of days, but
even a matter of hours."
THESE are not the remarks of
shallow flnH Vivstpriral men
They are statements that have
been made to this reporter in the
past few days by responsible and
experienced leaders of the Brit
ish government brave men
who have played great parts and
have not flinched or quailed
through all the perils Britain
has experienced since the rise
of Adolph Hitler.
The third of the foregoing
quotations, moreover, is a para
phrase of the summation in a
personal message sent by Prime
Minister Sir Anthony Eden to
President Eisenhower some days
ago through an American offi
cial with whom the Prime Min
ister discussed the present Mid
dle Eastern situation.
The opinions the Prime Minis
ter expressed were so grave in
all their implications that the
American official asked for a
summary of the conversation, in
order to make sure his report
was correct in detail. The hard
driven Prime Minister himself
wrote out the informal message
on the spot.
rpHIS is only one of a series of
similar British messages to
Washington, furthermore, all
sent in recent days and all on
the same theme. A very long
formal message, setting forth
the entire situation in fullest de
tail and urgently asking for de
termined American action on
several fronts, was sent off rath
er more than a week ago. A
further message, asking for
clear proof of American support
for the Baghdad Pact in the
form of economic aid, was subse
quently sent by Foreign Minister
Selwyn Lloyd to Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles.
As these words are written,
the American response has not
yet come through. The long
days of waiting, no doubt occa
sioned by the absence of both j
every opportunity to see ordi
nary British people, and to make
them like him.
He has been mobbed by friend
ly crowds at football games,
horse races, factories. He has
kissed babies, patted them on the
heads, visited the shops and talk
ed to housewives. A Scots boy
whose hand he held told his par
ents later he wanted ' to be a
Russian when he grew up.
Also, Malenkov has adroitly
avoided being drawn into any
controversial discussion. In the
few speeches he has made, Mal
enkov has said little more than
that Russians like Britons and
want to be friendly with them.
In brief, Malenkov has made
a success as a propagandist. He
is just as much a Communist
as are Bulganin and Khrushchev.
He is dedicated to the same
philosophy to promote Commu
nist world combination by one
means or another.
Make Unbridled Attacks
Bulganin and Khrushchev
made themselves thoroughly un
popular on their recent tour of
South Asia. They abused the hos
pitality of the governments
which entertained them by un
bridled attacks on other coun
tries, notably the United States
and Britain.
The Malenkov method is more
subtle and more dangerous, in
that it disarms suspicion.
There is still a great deal of
opposition in Britain to the
forthcoming visit of Bulganin
and Khrushchev. They are going
on a state mission, as guests of
Prime Minister Anthony Eden.
They will even have tea with
Queen Elizabeth II, blood reia
tive of the family of Czar Nicho
las II whom the Bolsheviks mur
dered in cold blood in a cellar
in . a house in Ekaterinburg
where they had been interned.
Undoubtedly Bulganin and
Khrushchev will watch their
step while they are in Britain
both in their official talks and
in their public appearances.
But if they meet with no hos
tile demonstrations, however
careful they may be, it will be
due in great part to Malenkov.
Fact
Joseph Alsop
President and Secretary of State
from Washington until only a
few days ago, have given the
British leaders the feeling of
"shouting warnings into a feath
er bed." Although Prime Minis
ter Eden has just: visited the
President, some members of the
Cabinet have even advocated an
other flight to .Washington eith
er by Eden himself or by a qual
ified personal emissary capable
of putting the facts before Pres
ident Eisenhower on a man-to
man basis.
- V
CJUCH, then, is the atmosphere
u within the governmental cir
cle. The cause of it is relatively
simple. In brief, the abrupt dis
missal of Lt. Gen.- Sir John
Bagot Glubb from command of
the Arab Legion in Jordan re
vealed a much greater funda
mental insecurity in the British
position in the Middle East than
had been previously imagined,
Perhaps the London view is
wrong, but the wisest men here
think there is momentarily dan
ger of a new coup m Jordan,
paid for by Saudi Arabian oil
dollars, organized by. the Com
munist underground, and spur
red on by violent propaganda of
the Egyptian radio. Another suc
cessful coup in Jordan, instal
ling an anti-Western government
there, would place the pro-West-ern
government of neighboring
Iraq in serious danger; and In
this and other ways would di
rectly imperil Britain's access to
the vital Middle . Eastern oil
source.
In addition, it would vastly
increase the likelihood of an
Arab-Israeli war this year and
the chances of war this year are
already quoted at even by the
highest authorities in London.
JORDAN is by no means the
only point where the situa
tion is thought to be near the
explosion point. Britain simply
has not the military strength
and economic resources needed
to contain the Middle Eastern
situation single handed. Mean
while, no common Anglo-American
policy in the Middle East
has yet been agreed on in work
ing detail. No agreement has
even been reached in Washing
ton on the practical implemen
tation of the so-called Tripar
tite Declaration, by which we
are committed to join Britain
and France in punishing any ag
gressor in the Arab-Israeli con
flict. In these circumstances, Brit
ain is like a man who feels an
enemy's hard fingers reaching
for his jugular vein (which in
Britain's case is the Middle East
ern oil source) yet can do noth
ing to ward off the attack. The
blandest complacency appears
to reign in Washington.
But it is also well to remem
ber that just as Britain's jugular
vein runs through the Middle
East, so too the strategic and
political jugular vein of the
United States of America hap
pens to run through Britain.

By FRANK JENKINS
A helping of politics:
Although he doesn't admit it,
Adlai Stevenson (who is cam
paigning in California) seems to
have adopted new tactics. He
says he isn't conscious of any
change. He tells the, newsmen:
"You see the old Adlai Steven
son." But
AFTER a television speech in
Los Angeles, he devoted an
hour and a half to shaking hands
with 500 Democrats at a party
rally.
The next morning he HIKED
four blocks to a street rally in
the heart of LA's garment dis
trict. On the way, he reached
up from the sidewalk to shake
hands with a truck driver who
was waiting at a red light. Be
hind the truck driver was a de
liveryman. He had his young
son with him in his truck. Adlai
reached up and shook hands
with both of them and grinned
and said "Hello."
At a sidewalk fruitstand, he
stopped and bought an apple and
took a big bite out of it for the
benefit of the photographers.
Arriving at the street rally, he
made a quickie talk to a
crowd of some 600 people and
after that he signed autographs
as long as his political escort
would let him stay. He wrote
only his first name ADLAI.
Then he went across the street
to a sandwich shop, a little
counter-and-stool place. He had
a CORNED BEEF sandwich.
After he finished his sandwich,
he went around behind the coun
ter and leaned over it and shook
hands with every customer in
the place.
HOW come?
Let's go back a few weeks
into the past. There was a pri
mary election in New : Hamp
shire, you will remember. In
this primary, Kefauver RAN
AWAY from Stevenson.
There was another primary,
somewhat later, in Minnesota.
AGAIN KeFauver licked the
socks off of Stevenson.
IN both primaries, Stevenson
was the favorite of the PRO
FESSIONALS. In Minnesota, he had the all
out backing of the Democratic
organization. Minnesota's Dem
ocratic governor was all FOR
him, and couldn't see anybody
else. Minnesota's left-wing Dem
acratic Senator Hubert Hum
phrey was beating the drum and
leading the ballyhoo for Steven
son. But Kefauver is a HAND
SHAKER. He has the golden
touch' that leads the people he
shakes hands with and passes
the time of day with to believe
that he is ONE OF THEM. That
he understands their problems.
That he LIKES them.
"M"OTICE, please, that Steven
son wasn't long in catching
on.
His change of tactics in Cali
fornia indicates quite clearly
that after watching the results
in New Hampshire and Minne
sota he said to himself: "If that
is what the people want, I'LL
GIVE IT TO THEM."
"I'd like to add that if he said
it to himself he said it just that
way. He didn't contract "that
is" into "that's." He didn't say
"to 'era," He said TO THEM.
He is a cultured person who uses
the English language carefully
and accurately, seldom if ever
falling into the vernacular.
But he catches onto things
rather quickly.
Don't write him off YET.
