Consider The Helibus
Is there no limit to the public demand for speed?
Apparently not.
More speed in the air or on the ground, adds up to
more casualties. It is seldom a day passes now with
out at least one fatal airplane crash, sometimes two or
three and dozens on the highways.
The death toll in automobile transportation fluc
tuates from season to season, but the long-period
graph is steadily up and up and up.
If there is any public demand for less speed on the
ground or in the air it is not apparent. The general re
action to casualty lists appears to be "so what?" un
less, of course, the individual speaking is, or has been
directly involved. Then the reaction may be of a
different type.
e
LJOWEVER, the casualty lists represent a minority
when the numbers that travel safely via plane
and motor car are considered, and so, as the majority
rules in commerce as in politics, it is hard to see any
end to this mad race to spend less and less time get
ting from one place to somewhere anywhere else.
Just why no one seems to know.
THE NEW CARS are out and all the sales talk over
" the air and otherwise stresses the increased speed,
increased horse-power and pickup, etc. One of the
leading manufacturers staged a contest the other day
between its latest model and a flying missile the lat
est model won of course just how or how much it
was hard to see on the screen. But the sales lesson was
plain.
A ND NOW we note that the. old motor busses are
" on the way out and are to be replaced by heli-
busses. The helibusses of course are helicopter busses.
According to reports they will be able to carry around
40 or 50 passengers each and make an average speed
of 100 miles an hour.
Well we hope this proves to be true.
In fact we have had a hunch for a long time that
in this mad race for speed the advantages of the heli
copter type plane have been overlooked.
One hundred miles an hour is a snail's pace for the
modern airplane, but it is lightning fast compared to
a passenger bus. And it has one great advantage : if
there is engine trouble the helicopter doesn't have to
make a crash landing, the rotor still spins and a safe
landing for all concerned may be made almost any
where, in any kind of weather and terrain.
Such a bus would get one to Portland in arouffd
three hours and to San Francisco in about four that
would not satisfy the speed-hounds, but we believe
that would be fast enough for most of the traveling
public. And think of all the advantages! You could
take all your luggage on board and you would not
have to take out any life insurance, run the risk of
depriving your family of whatever earning power you
possess, before your arrival.
TN FACT, the more we consider the helibusses the
more we approve of them. There are a few flies
in the ointment, no doubt.
expense, but the helicopter engineers should be able
to fix that. Then a fleet of such busses might put the
SP out of the passenger business entirely, but that
wouldn't change things here
the bouthern Pacific would
senger service anyway.
bo what are we waiting for?
Let's go ! R. W. R.
Will Kefauver Win?
Senator Neuberger thinks that if his colleague
Senator Kefauver defeats ex-Governor Stevenson in
the Florida and California primaries he should be
the Democratic presidential nominee, by acclamation.

is very different from its predecessors the delegates'
will pay little heed to the senatorial advice.
.
IF SENATOR Kefauver should win these two states
and half a dozen others, he would probably enter
the convention with few more pledges than he did
four years ago. And as everyone knows he failed to
make the grade then. His chances would probably be
better this year, but even so, his primaiy support
would in all probability add up to less than 25 or 30
of the party membership.
And as in 1952 he would be a marked man that
is, "the man to beat." Every other contender (with
the possible exception of Mr. Stevenson who never
nurses a grudge) would be against him.
And the convention as a whole, made up as it is
of party "pros," would not go over to the Kefauver
"amateurs" without a struggle and a tough one.
CINALLY, of course, party conventions are a law
unto themselves. And they are disposed to be jeal
ous of that fact and the power it gives.
Their objection to the "gentleman from Tennes
see" will be that he does not measure up to presiden
tial stature. The claim will be made, wdth complete
justification, that ability to shake hands, kiss babies
and win a popularity contest out in the hustings, does
not NECESSARILY qualify a man to be President of
the United States.
"THIS DOES NOT mean Senator Kefauver WON'T
be the winner in August. It merely means that if
he does win it won't be because of the arguments ad
vanced by our junior Senator. It will be regardless
of the primary results it will be only because a ma
jority of the convention delegates finally decide that
Senator Kefauver will have a better chance to defeat
President Eisenhower than any other aspirant.

Matter of Fact by joseph aisop
THEY MEAN TO FIGHT
London In the absence of
any clear lead from Washing
ton, the present British govern
ment has been
making up its
o w n mind
about what to
do if worst
comes to words
in the Middle
East. The re
solve is to
fight if need
be, and even
Joseph Aisop againsi neavy
odds. As already reported, for
example, the situation in Jordan
is regarded here as immediately
critical. In Jordan, King Hus
sein's abrupt dismissal of Gen.
Sir John Bagot Glubb has open
ed the way to a pro-Egyptian,
anti-Western coup which would
depose King Hussein in favor of
a young officer's junta like the
one that now rules Egypt.
Faced with this possibility,
the British cabinet has sought
to keep the situation in hand
by continuing their subsidy to
Jordan despite the humiliation
of Glubb's dismissal. None the
less, the odds are thought here
to be rather heavy that a coup
in Jordan will be attempted
soon.
piRCUMSTANCES certa inly
are favorable, in view of the
leanings of the present Jordan
ian cabinet, the changes in com
mand in the Arab Legion since
Gen. Glubb's enforced depar
ture, and the degree of Com
munist underground penetra
tion. Faced with this likelihood of
a coup in Jordan, the British
government has tentatively de
cided to intervene. They will
join the Jordanian civil war if
it is really a civil war. Every
thing will depend on whether
the existing order has enough
remaining support in the Arab
Legion and elsewhere, so that
there is a serious loyalist fac
tion which the British can
assist.
If there is such a faction to
assist, the British mean to as
sist it with the two or three
regiments of British troops sta
tioned in Jordan. In the final
pinch, they may also send the
parachute brigade which has
been moved for the purpose to
Cyprus.
rpHIS conditional but somewhat
- desperate resolve has been
taken about $he danger in Jor
dan because of the British esti
mate of the situation in Iraq
King Feisal II of Iraq is the
cousin of King Hussein of Jor
dan. King Feisal's Prime Min
ister, the brilliant but aging
Nuri es-Said, is strongly pro-
Western.
Yet once again the existing
order is strongly threatened by
anti - Western, pro-Egyptian
forces, which are working be
neath the surface with active
Communist assistance.
The danger in Iraq will be
enormously increased if the dan
ger next door in Jordan is not
successfully averted. Protecting
the position in Iraq is the real
motive of the conditional Brit
ish resolve to intervene in Jor
dan. It is also the real motive
of the otherwise puzzling Brit
ish insistance on stronger Amer
ican support for the Baghdad
Pact. The idea is to strengthen
Nuri es-Said and King Feisal.
"niNALLY, the protection of
the Middle Eastern oil source
is the real motive of the British
desire to protect the position
in Iraq at almost any cost. Iraq
itself is a major oil producer.
A defeat in Iraq would produce
immediate danger in neighbor
ing, oil-rich Iran, which was
so narrowly saved from the
Communist Tudeh Party only a
few years ago.
What is chiefly feared in Lon
don, in short, is the stage by
stage loss of the oil sources
which are the true lifeblood of
these islands. The gravity of the
British view is clearly suggested
by another conditional resolve
that has been taken here. If
everything else in the Middle
East goes, the British govern
tain military bloc in which the
military forces of Soviet Russia
and its satellites are being uni
fied. West German Defense Minis
ter Theodor Blank has promised
firmly, that the Bonn Republic
will have 96,000 men under arms
by Dec. 31. The target date for
the full 500,000-man army is
Dec. 31, 1958.
The East Germans got off to a
head start. All they had to do,
in the first stage, was to start
calling their highly militarized
"barracks people's police" force
of about 120,000 men an army.
It is beginning to look as if the
two German armies may be built
up completely before any serious
attempt is made to unify the
country.
Russian leaders - are talking
more and more about keeping
Germany divided. The latest pro
nouncement came Tuesday from
Communist party leader Nikita
S. Khrushchev. He said at a re-
ment means to hold the Sheik
dom of Kuwait by naked force
if need be.
This last ditch policy is prac
tical though unattractive. The
population of Kuwait is not
large enough to resist effec
tively. Kuwait alone has enough
oil, if the tap is turned on a lit
tle harder, to meet the needs
of Britain and Western Europe
for a good many years to come.
Even so, there might be very
great difficulties if the Egyp
tians sought to retaliate by clos
ing the Suez Canal to oil tank
ers from Kuwait. This is entire
ly imaginable. Again, it can be
quite positively stated that the
Soviet ambassadors in Egypt
and Syria have promised So
viet military intervention in the
Middle East if any Western
power intervenes there, either
in the manner outlined above
or in order to prevent a renewal
of the Arab-Israeli fighting. And
the Soviets may mean what they
are saying.
ALTOGETHER the outlook is
not pretty. The simple fact
that such plans are even being
prepared in London proves the
acute peril to the Western Alli
ance of the state of drift that
prevails in Washington.
If the Eisenhower administra
tion dislikes the policy that is
being desperately worked out
here and this would certainly
be understandable then the
Eisenhower administration lias
an inescapable duty to - come
forward with a positive, ' prac
tical Middle Eastern policy of
its own, -which will probably
be greeted with Sighs of relief
by the British.

Today and
By Walter
The Slassen-Gromyko Talks
Mr. Stassen and Mr. Gromyko,
who are in London exchanging
proposals about the race of arm
aments, are no
doubt a long
way from an
actual treaty
which could
be signed and
ratified. But
there is some
thing new in
the temper, if
not in the sub-
Walter Lippmann Stance, of
what they are proposing.
We may describe it, it seems
to me, by saying that each gov
ernment, while defending its
own strategical interests, is now
very anxious to prove that is
not the obstacle to an agreement
smrf that it ic trtrina uonufnolir

The London meeting is inter
esting, not only for what might
conceivably come out of it in the
oni v,ut hoanco it ic rafioMina
the objective military situation
in the world today. Both the
USA and the USSR have taken
a new look at the situation.
They are now reacting each in
its own way, to the same basic
fact namely that there exists,
precariously, a stalemate in nu
clear weapons.

taken seriously into account the i son primarily directed not to re-
strategical revolution which be

Union broke, the American mon
opoly of nuclear weapons. The
failure to take this revolution
into account is a reason, perhaps
the reason, why for so many
years disarmament has been such
a fruitless and boring subject.
The summit meeting at Ge
neva last July was the first great
reflection of the military stale

ception in Moscow that it was
possible to have a European
peace agreement without unify
ing Germany first.
Russian leaders do not want
Germany unified except on their
own terms. No. 1 term is that
Germany shall be disarmed and
neutralized. No. 2 is that any
unified German government
shall be a weak one, in which
the Communists play a big if
not dominant part.
But the Reds are on the de
fensive. They dislike intensely
the thought of a strong, free Ger
many. They know, too, that the
West German army will fight
loyally on the side of the Allies
if there is a war and that they
cannot depend on the East Ger
man army.
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer faces a fight with
the Socialist party over his plan
to draft 350,000 men for his
army. There is little doubt, how
ever, that he will have his way.
But about 200,000 men already
have volunteered for service in
the West German army, 150,000
of them World War II veterans.
Adenauer plans to accept only
about 150,000 volunteers in all
and to draft youths to make up
the total of 500,000.
On the contrary, the East Ger
mans have no chance of getting
any considerable number of vol
unteers. Their "people's police,"
in fact, are really raised by
draft. It's not an official draft.
Men are impressed by coercion
and threat.
Thousands of "people's" police
men have fled to West Germany.
East German Premier Otto
Grotewohl admitted months ago
that the Reds could not get vol
unteers for the police, as the
basis of an army, and "may be
forced" to resort to the draft.
The overall picture in Ger
many is this: 1. Real European
peace can not become a fact until
Germany is unified. 2. West Ger
many, allied with the West, is
strong and becoming stronger.
3. East Germany, held under the
Kremlin's heel, is more of a
threat to Russia than it is to the
Allies.

not exceed 400 words.
Only 7,000 Would Benefit
To the Editor: The doctors and
dentists say only the under teen
age children benefit by fluori
dation (approximately 7,000 in
Medford). They would use only
about 2 per cent of the treated
water. Why force the rest of the
people to drink ' the poison?
Those who want it can have a
doctor's prescription of the right
amount needed. Why pay the
huge cost of the other 98 per
cent just to waste on lawns,
flowers, trees and down the
sewer, or do they think the pets,
stock, birds and earth worms
need it? I have heard of hens
teeth.
Putting all joking aside, why
should something be forced upon
the people who don't need or
want it? V. it is as good as they
claim, what will happen to the
more than 35 dentists in Med
ford, or do they approve think
ing they may have more work?
About 60 years ago I had rela
tives who had goiters. Soon
iodized salt came on the market,
those who needed it could use
it, others didn't have to. You
don't see many goiters today.
Why don't they mix fluoride in
candy and ice cream or the
things children liRe that causes
the decay?
For a free country to force the
people to drink something they
don't need would be like forcing
everyone to attend and belong
to the same church or organiza
tion whether they believed in it
or not. When I came to Medford
I had water put into the battery
of my car. The attendant went
to the water faucet. I said
wanted distilled water, he said
Medford water is pure." Let's
keep it that way. I am In my
second childhood and have my
natural teeth. After 35 years of
kidney trouble I have felt better
since coming to Medford. The
doctor said it was because of our
pure water.
Other nations such as Switzer
land, France, Sweden and Great
Britain, after studying it, won'
the circle of American Air
Force bases from which so many
different attacks could be
launched. That is why the cen
tral purpose of Soviet policy is
to dislocate and liquidate the
alliances on which the encircling
air bases depend.
rPHEY want us to leave the
J- bases. We want them to open
their country. They want us to
give up the alliances upon which
our security system is founded.
We want them to give up the
secrecy by . which their regime
operates.
These are such big differences
that it is hard to see how agree
ment can be reached. Perhaps,
we should say, it is hard to see
how an agreement can soon be
reached. But in the long run it
may well be that our bases will
become obsolete and that the So
viet system of secrecy will be
come unworkable.
Both the USA and the USSR
have become deeply conscious
that they are the only two nu
clear powers in a world which
is, for nuclear warfare, unarm
ed. Great Britain is a partial
exception in that it has some
nuclear weapons. But the Bri
tish Isles are too small to be
able to absorb and survive a
nuclear attack.
Moscow and Washington are,
therefore, armed powers dealing
with an unarmed world. Na
turally and inevitably, each is
under enormous and increasing
pressure from its allies and from
the uncommitted countries to
prove that war will not be per
mitted to break out.
That is the reason why Mr.
Stassen and Mr. Gromyko are
so anxious to prove their will
to negotiate. However far they
are from agreeing, they must
go on negotiating.

A Little Inclined Against
To the Editor: I have had the
rare opportunity of reading the
literature printed by both sides
of this fluoridation controversy
and although I have not made a
definite stand either for or
against, I am a little inclined to
go along with the opposition for
these reasons:
(1.) The proponents are and
have been holding meetings since
the first of the year allowing
only certain people to attend and
excluding anyone who appears
to be opposed. Thus it would ap
pear that many are endorsing
fluoridation without ever hear
ing the other side.
(2.) The proponents dodge the
opposition's arguments merely
by playing up the ridiculous
and referring to them as crack
pots, food faddists, merchants of
fear, etc., etc. Quite to the con
trary, the opposition is composed
of very highly qualified men who
hold very high degrees including
M.D.! (Incidentally as to the re
cent reference to a Dr. Bonner,
for one have never heard of
the man.)
(3.) There seems to be no con
vincing argument against the
voluntary action of giving pills
or bottled fluoridated water.
(4.) The proponents claim of
25 years research refers mostly
to natural fluoride studies. I
would like to see more references
to studies based on sodium flu
oride in water, since that is
what they intend to put into our
water supply.
(5.) They refer to 1 ppm as
harmless but neglect to point
out that natural fluorides are
found in many everyday foods
and that when cooking with flu
oridated water it becomes more
concentrated. Logically think
ing, it seems that everyone
would, be absorbing more than
1 ppm. .
(6.) Chemically speaking cal
cium fluoride (natural) and sodi
um fluoride (mfg.) are supposed
to produce the same result. What
proof is there that this same
chemical change takes place in
every individual's body espe
cially the chronically ill or the
unborn child? Also what proof is
there that the diseased body will
throw off the wastes as a normal
body?
(7.) In practically all the cities
that have artificial fluoridation,
the decision was made by the
city councils or influential
groups, thinking it such a great
thing, rushed it through so fast
that people even now do not
know they have it.
Frankly since Dr. Exner is a
high ranking medical man, a radi
ologist, and president of the King
County Medical association in
Seattle, Wash., I'd like to see
some actual proof against his
arguments for example instead
of dodging them by way of the
mudslinging technique.

sorority, wish to go on record as
being wholeheartedly in favor of
artificial flouridation of our
city's water supply. We pledge
our continued support to this
measure. Most of our members
are mothers of small children.
Although children stand to gain
the most immediately, we must
all remember that the children
of today are the citizens of to
morrow. Isn't it wonderful to realize
the increased dental health of
nearly every person within 50
years?
Mrs. Paul Dix, Extension
Officer, Alpha Rho Chapter,
Beta Sigma Phi sorority.
