Why Such a Rush?
. "We can understand why many Democrats wish to
be delegates to the Chicago convention.
For that involves an interesting trip across the
country and an exciting dramatic session.
But why a record-breaking number should wish to
be given a badge and a hard wooden-seat at the Cow
Palace south of San Francisco for the Republican con
clave is a mystery.
. It must be mainly San Francisco its proximity
(in spite of the SP!) and its charm. One might add
its fine invigorating climate but for the fact that Aug
ust is the worst month in the year, as far as the Golden
Gate is concerned, and usually cold, windy and forbidding.
AS FAR AS excitement goes the GOP conclave!
meeting of U. S. Steel Board of Directors.
Everything has been arranged and the program
cut and dried. We doubt if there is much of a fight
even over civil rights and the farm problem. It is dif
ferent with the Democrats. If they have nothing to
fight about they manufacture something and stage a
good one. Nothing like that for the Grand Old Party.
They like peace,' prosperity and platitudes and
that's all they are going to get this year.
VET THERE ARE 45 GOP applicants for 12. posi-
tions at the Cow Palace. And each one would like
a "kind word" from the Mail Tribune.
Sorry, but it can't be done !
We never heard of most of these people and with a
few exceptions, only know the local aspirants. More
over, no real issue is involved. Who the delegates are
to these conventions makes practically no difference
to the country or the party, but only to the individuals
concerned. Our only suggestion, therefore, would be
that if any member of our list printed below is known
to be allergic to boredom and inclined to fall asleep
in the midst of ham acting and synthetic political
noise and fury they be eliminated. For it would be
poor advertising for Oregon to have any delegate from
this state peacefully snoring, particularly while the
organ played the "Star Spangled Banner." The always-alert
press gallery would undoubtedly spot him
or her and broadcast the item.
However, as remarked above, we. have had many
requests, and in the interest of time-saving in marking
the ballots, here goes, to-wit:
We recommend
of the desired training and capabilities, could not be
secured or if secured, could not be retained.
By bringing salaries up to the standard level, a
well-balanced and efficient staff of . county law en
forcement has been secured, and exists today.
It would, as we see it, be extremely unwise as well
as costly to the taxpayers, to change horses in the
middle of the stream, and thus fail to profit by four
years of .experience, and the steady improvement in
this department that has been made. R. W. R.

Keep Nunley On The Job
Apparently there are some voters in the county
who have interpreted our lailure to conduct a cam
paign in favor of District Attorney Walter Nunley, as
we did four years ago to disappointment in him and
his record.
This is not true.
Four vears aero we entered the primary and car
ried on a vigorous campaign in favor of Nunley, be
cause we regarded the issue involved as extremely im
portant. As we viewed the field this year no issue of
equal importance seemed in the picture. So we fol
lowed our long established custom oi leaving tne se
lection of candidates bv the two parties up to the
members themselves and reserving our selection of
those best fitted for their jobs until the November
election.
OOWEVER, in view of this misinterpretation.
which has been helped along, no doubt, by Nun-
ley's enemies, it is only fair to him to state that we
think our present District Attorney has done a good
job, deserves renomination and reelection and we be
lieve that is exactly what will happen.
Nunley, we grant, was a bit green when he took
over, and he made some regrettable mistakes but
one thing he didn't do, he didn't repeat them, and he
is today, we think, far better qualified to carry on the
important duties of his office efficiently and properly
than he was four years ago.
THE CHARGE has been made that he has been ex
travagant and by increasing expenses of admin
istration inordinately has increased taxes.
This has been good campaign material, no doubt,
for the people of the county at this time are particu
larly tax-conscious.
But it is no more true than the, misinterpretation
regarding the Mail Tribune's attitude.
The increased expenses of this department were
ordered by the County Court, and not bv Nunlev. and
primarily for one reason namely:
THE OFFICE of District Attorney is very important
to the .County Court in its proper administration
of county affairs, and while Mr. Nunley cooperated
at all times with the court, the latter soon found that
to have the desired efficiency it was necessarv to ma-

No Grounds for Suspicion
To the Editor: I was one of
the ministers the District At
torney invited to sit in on the
reading of a report made by Pri
vate Investigator Walter Jeffries.
The report was read aloud to
the group: in fact, I did a good
share of the reading.
I had two private interviews
with Mr. Jeffries; I read through
his credentials and dozens of
letters of recommendations. Mr.
Jeffries is not an imaginary char
acter, or a man of low morals or
motives.
: We were Invited to hear the
report and to meet Mr. Jeffries
with, the plain understanding
that his work was confidential.
This arises from the very nature
of the investigation.
It was a survey, a kind of re
connoitering, to discover where
if any corrouption, dope ped
dling, and gambling were car
ried on. The investigation and
report were not the gathering of
evidence to prosecute in court.
There is "a vast difference be
tween evidence to prosecute,
and information for further' in
vestigation. The court is the
place to use evidence for prose
cution. General information is
not evidence for prosecution,
and neither is it the kind of ma
terial to be broadcast.
In the very act of spreading it,
the report loses its value. It is
my opinion that nothing more
than curiosity can be served by
releasing the report. Great in
jury could follow to persons in
volved but not guilty of crime
that could be prosecuted.
Clergymen were invited pre
cisely because, on the one hand
they are concerned about the
moral tenor of the community,
and on the other hand, because
they are not involved in either
prosecution of criminals or law
enforcement.
: I have written to assure my
fellow-citizens that we have not
been fleeced or hood-winked.
Whether or not any citizen or
official thinks an investigation
ought to have been made is a
matter for private opinion. I
believe that a general is wise
who- sends out scouting parties
to discover the points of enemy
concentration.
The investigation was author
ized by the County Court and
the Citizens Budget Committee.
It was made by a reputable pri
vate investigator, a report was
made, and the monies were
spent by authorized authorities.
Curiosity may thrive on secrecy.
So can suspicion.
There may be grounds for
curiosity. There may be grounds
for debate about the need for
or wisdom of the investigation.
But there are no grounds for
suspicions about the handling
of the investigation.

charges, while there was ample
time to present both sides to the
public fully and fairly. The chal
lenge and charges are still unanswered.
Mr. Krotz further states that
the district attorney has had no
private practice while in office.
The . district attorney admitted,
at a League of Women Voters
meeting of May 4th and in a ra
dio address of May 16th, that he
is, and has been carrying on a
private practice.

About DA's Office-
To the Editor: The district at
torney's committeeman, Dan
Krotz II,' has accused me in this
column of using smear and prop
aganda. For the past month I
have been charging the district
attorney with specific acts of In
competency and waste in office,
giving dates, circumstances, and
amounts of money.
Many of these charges were
made when the district attorney
was present, not five feet from
me. The district attorney had
full opportunity to expose them,
if they really were smear and
propaganda. He did not do so,
and still has not done so, be
cause the charges are simply a
factual recital of the sorry pub
lic record that the district attor
ney himself has made.
I repeatedly challenged the
district attorney In person at
(Editor's note: Dan Krotz let
ter stated: "We wanted full time
defense of the law when we
elected Walter Nunley to his first
term of office. It would be a
long step backward if we return
to the low budgets, as proposed
by Mr. Rode, and force our dis
trict attorney to accept - private
practice to give him a livable in
come. We do not want a condi
tion where a fat fee in private
practice might spell ' immunity
to prosecution for violations of
the law." Nunley has made no
secret of the fact he has had a
limited private practice, most of
it conducted during non-office
hours.)
Praise for DA
i
To the Editor; During the past
3V& years I have had numerous
occasions to work with your
present district attorney, Walter
D. Nunley. In my capacity as a
consulting psychiatrist it has
been necessary for me to discuss
numerous criminal cases which
have been handled by his of
fice, and to make examinations
and reports of persons convicted
of sex crimes, as required by
Oregon law. In addition, Mr,
Nunley has sought my advice on
many other criminal matters,
though he was not required by
law to do so, but was motivated
only by a genuine desire to do
what was best for 'the indivi
duals concerned.
Based upon a rather close as
sociation with Mr. Nvthley in
these matters, it is my opinion
that he probably has more in
sight and understanding of hu
man conduct and the reasons and
motives therefor than any lay
person outside of my own pro
fession that I have known. This
is indeed an asset to your dis
trict attorney, and of great value
to the people of this commun
ity.
Mr. Nunley's extreme Interest
in his work is only a little short
of dedication, and his honesty
and Integrity are in my opinion
unassailable. I
For whatever it Is worth, I
wish the people of Jackson coun
ty to have my opinion concern-
ing the matter at this time.

United Press Correspondent
Britain's frogman incident and
the mystery of the Berlin wire
tap tunnel are reminders that
the spy busi
ness is flour
ishing as usual.
Nobody has
admitted that
a British Intel
ligence agency
sent frogman
Lionel Crabb
to snoop around
the Soviet
Charles McCann cruiser OrdZ-
honidikze while the Kremlin's
Mr. B. and Mr. K. were visiting
Prime Minister Anthony Eden.
Nor has it been admitted that
an American or British agency
built the tunnel under East Ber
lin to listen in on Red German
and Russian army telephone
conversations.
It is pretty certain, however,
that Crabb was not just out for
exercise when he went swim
ming in the chill waters of
Portsmouth harbor where the
Ordzhonikidze lay at anchor.
It seems unlikely that the
Communists dug the tunnel,
starting from the United States
Army radar station in West
Berlin, and filled it with Ameri
can and British electronic equip
ment,
In any event, both Incidents
point up the fact that espionage
is a two-way business and that
it is an essential one in both the
military and diplomatic fields.
Cloak and Dagger
Some spies are cloak and dag
ger operatives. They risk impri
sonment or death to get secret
information in foreign countries
or to get information in their
own countries for foreign gov
ernments. Some do their work' in their
offices in the embassies of their
countries in foreign capitals.
Some maintain their headquar
ters in offices which purport to
serve industrial or business in
terests These men may get
some information from cloak
and dagger men they employ.
But they get most of it from
a host of readily available
sources. In the United States,
for instance, agents of foreign
governments can get what is
supposed to be secret informa
tion by reading the newspapers,
the trade publications, scientific
publications of all kinds and the
service journals of the Army,
Navy and Air Force.
These men piece together, bit
by bit, the things they read un
til they fall Into a pattern. This
pattern may give them the news
of some big development in nu
clear energy research, in the
production of a new type of
military plane and the details of
a new gun or tank.
Spy in a Sense
Every military, naval and air
attache in every embassy is a
spy in a sense. It is their job to
get information about the armed
forces of the countries to which
they are assigned. We frequent
ly read of a Russian attache be
ing caught in espionage. One
reason seems to be that a lot of
them are not too careful and not
too clever.
' The spy business dates back
centuries before Christ. But Oli-!
ver CromweU and ' Cardinal
Richelieu were the creators of
organized espionage. That was
In the 17th century.
In czarist times in Russia, the
chief of the revolutionary ter
rorist organization was for years
an agent of the Okhrana, the se
cret police. He directed the as
sassination of some of the high
est czarist officials with the
Okhrana's knowledge.
In both world wars, the Brit
ish Secret Service managed to
maintain agents on the German
general staff.
In all, the spy business is a
big one in peace as well as in
war.
say he has probably tried three
times as many cases during his
term as were tried In the term
before his He has lost a few
cases to some pretty experienced
lawyers, but his batting average
is good and I think most peace
officers are glad to have him to
carry the ball when their cases
come to court.
It has been an uphill drag all
the way, but Walt Nunley has
done a job that some people
didn't think he could do when
he took over the district at
torney's office in 1953, and I
think he had won the respect of
many people who opposed his
election in 1952.

Walt's interest in law enforce

under arrest be treated fairly,
and his kindness and courtesy
to the families of criminals are
well known to aU policemen in
this country, and to a lot of
other people too. When a police
report is laid on his desk, he is
just as quick to tell you that you
don't have a case as he is to say
you have. What's more, he will
take the time to explain why,

in attendance, indicative of the
public interest in their recom
mendation to the city council
and the State Highway Commis
sion on the location of the much
debated freeway.
There was a great deal of dis
cussion on the two proposed
routes. Many reasons were
brought out against the tfirough
city route, mostly to do with trie
damage it would do to the city.
On the other hand quite a few
reasons were brought to light
opposing the outer route, mostly
to do with the damage which
would be done to several weal
thy individuals. Many questions
were asked and the members of
the Board were often forced to
answer, We aren t informed on
the point." An informal vote was
taken among the citizens pres
ent. Approximately 60 voted
against the city route, half a
dozen seemed opposed to the
Hillcrest route.

that at April 30, 1956 there was
on hand in the court house
building and improvement fund
the amount of $154,241.55. Mr.
Lattie states that this amount
should be $159,088.22. If Mr.
Lattie will check warrant num
ber 220, he will find that the
warrant was issued in April and
not cashed at April 30, 1956 so,
while Mr. Lattie's figures are
correct, he has not given con
sideration to the normal bank
account reconciliation necessary
at the end of each month.
The Treasurer's cash at the
end of any month is never the
same as the fund balance for the
simple reason that there are al

have not yet been presented to
the Treasurer of Jackson County
for payment.
