MAIL TRIBUNE "
The Vote on
Early this year, the Mail Tribune went on record
favoring the fluoridation of the Medford municipal
water supply as a public health measure to reduce
cavities in the teeth of children.
It did so because this paper is convinced that the
measure is completely safe, reasonable, proven, con
structive, progressive and relatively inexpensive.
Because of widespread opposition, even in the
face of expert opinion and conclusive statistics as to
its effectiveness and safety, we advocated a public
vote on the proposal so that no one could say it had
been forced down anyone's throat by a minority
group.
yHERE is no reason for us to change our position.
We have read widely on the subject both pub
lications which report the scientific evidence, and
publications which scream, without any substantial
evidence, "rat poison" and "socialized medicine."
We agree with Dr. Walter Alvarez, who in a Mail
Tribune column last week, said :
"That the procedure is safe was shown by U.S. Public
Health Service men who studied health and death statis
tics in the cities using fluoridation, and found no increases
in the usual rates of illness or death. This should put an end
to the wild claims of some persons that fluorine is poison
ing people wholesale. It should put an end to the fears of
all sensible people."
PJESPITE all this, however, we are sorry the city
council chose to put
November.
The issue has become
reason we have not yet been able to fathom.
As a result, we are a bit fearful that it would have
an adverse effect on other measures which will be on
the ballot this fall measures which we feel to be of
vastly more importance than that of the question of
' fluoridation.
I For instance, the voters of Medford will have to
decide on a four-phase capital improvement program
; which will set the pattern of municipal development
for years to come. This is more important than fluori
dation.
A number of state measures, several of them of
considerable effect, will also be on the ballot to say
nothing of the city, county,
dates for public office.
IF emotions generated by a "fluoridation fight" are
permitted to slop over into what should be the
calm and studied consideration of the merits of the
other measures, the results
It is hoped the voters

For these reasons we

from time to time our considered opinion that it would
be a good thing.
70R the same reasons, while we shall accept and
print letters to the editor on the subject, both pro
and con, we shall exercise editorial judgment as to
length and number. .

Stranded Transients
What is to be done if
casional migrant worker or transient who gets strand
ed in this community without funds, without a job,
without friends?
Despite prevailing high
tion arises from time to time. &ach time it does, tne
problem is acute and immediate and tragic, and there
is no answer.
Individuals who have residence here, veterans,
and a few others have places to which they can turn
for temporary help. The down-and-outer from else
where has none,
"THE public welfare office is limited, both by resi-
dence requirements and lack of funds, in the help
it can give under the category of "general assistance."
The Red Cross under its charter is strictly circum
scribed in the way in which
expended.
The Salvation Army, which can almost always
scrape up a meal and a bed, is so pinched for funds
that anything further even a bus ticket to the next
town is usually impossible.
Veterans organizations can be helpful but by
their very nature limit their aid to ex-servicemen. The
United Medford Crusade has as beneficiaries largely
health and character-building organizations.
'IX'HAT is left? Panhandling which is a semi-po-
lite term for begging. Many business people will
tell you that this is not as infrequent as one would
hope or think.
Some of the transients are "floaters" and "bums."
Some are honest and decent people who are down on
their luck, and usually only marginally employable.
We don't know the answer, if there is one. Per
haps someone else does. E.A.

Today and
By Walter
A NEW EPOCH
When the President had deliv
ered his address of acceptance,
it was evident that he and Gov.
Stevenson have come to much
the same con
clusions about
the times we
live in. It is
that the epoch
which began
with the great
d e p ression of
1929, which
i n c 1 uded the
New Deal, the
Waiter uppmann Second World
war, the Fair Deal and the Ko
rean war, now belongs to the
past, that its issues are antiquat
ed, that its war-cries and slogans
are worn out and that the two
parties have now to prove which
is the more fit for the age that
is opening up.
At the Chicago convention it
was Mrs. Roosevelt who made
this crucial point that ex-President
Truman was living in an
age that had passed into history,
that Stevenson was at the head
of the new generation who were
taking over the leadership and
the control. At San Francisco,
the theme of the President's ad
dress, and indeed of the plat
form and of the keynote which
he inspired, was that the Repub
lican party must now fit itself
for a future which will be un
like the past 25 years.
Gen. Eisenhower, as we know,
has been reading Arthur Lar
son's book, "A Republican
Looks at His Party," and has
been consulting Mr. Larson per
sonally, presumably in the prep
aration of his acceptance ad
dress. Mr. Larson's thesis is that
there is such a thing as "the new
Republicanism" and that it is "a
distinct and coherent political
movement, of which President
Eisenhower is the architect and
embodiment." The movement
was made obsolete, says Mr.
Larson, the old Republicanism
which comes down from 1896
and the era of President McKin
ley and of Mark Hanna, and has
made obsolete also, so he im
plies, the Republican reaction to
the New Deal, the Fair Deal and
the two wars.
NEITHER party platform and,
candidates has come anywhere
near defining the policies, much
less a specific program for the
new epoch into which we are en
tering. It would be foolish to ex
pect it. The new policies and
the programs to carry them out
are not likely to be worked out
at this stage of the political con
test. Before that can be done an
understanding and a realization
of what Eisenhower and Steven
In The Day's
Everyone who will read these
words will know already what
happened in San Francisco at
the high point of the Republican
national convention. So I shall
try here to present merely a few
personal observations, conclu
sions and convictions.
Perhaps they will seem naive.
To anyone not here, not seeing
with his own eyes, hearing with
his own ears and feeling in his
own bones what went on, it must
have appeared that what hap
pened Wednesday was a cut and
dried affair.
Oddly enough, it wasn't. In
my judgment, it was a sincere
and genuine expression of an
ideal that lies close to the hearts
of millions of Americans.
LET me sketch briefly the
nhvsiral aptim
The Cow Palace is basically a
vast roofed-over, walled-in foot
ball stadium. Down on the floor,
in what would be the playing
field, is the professional part of
the convention. The speakers
rostrum is located about on the
55-yard line. It faces the space
in which are seated the dele
gates, to whom the speakers are
talking directly because it is
the delegates whose voting will
register the will of the conven
tion. Back of the rostrum and con
nected with it by a narrow cat
walk is a space occupied by the
officers of the convention the
national chairman and his staff
and those who are scheduled to
speak. Back of that are boxes
occupied by VIP's, who are so
VIP that they are consulted
more or less constantly by those
who are conducting the business
of the convention.
fPO the rear of the rostrum,
on
A on both sides of the catwalk.
the space occupied by the
working press the traditional
Fourth Estate. This space is for
those who write and it is
equipped with what passes for
desks.
The press, in these modern
days, has been expanded to in
clude radio, television, the movie
newsreels. the photographers.
etc. The TV cameras face the
speakers rostrum directly. Other
TV cameras are spotted strate
gically all around the stadium
so as to be able to pick up inter
esting sidelights of the general
scene.
LET us pass on now to the peo
ple, whose votes in free, self
governing countries such as ours
Tomorrow
Lippmann
son, each in his own way, are
saying wiU have to come to the
leaders in American life and
thought. It does not often hap
pen in public affairs, but it has
happened now, that on such a
crucial point the two leaders are
far ahead of their followers.
Both will have to worry about
their ability to communicate to
a large audience their new and
unfamiliar ideas.
But within their agreement,
there is a contrast between the
two men. It is the contrast be
tween Stevenson, the active
leader in the work of a new
epoch and Eisenhower, in the
role of the elder statesman who
in his mind's eye sees a new
epoch coming and tells the
younger generation to prepare
for it. Gen. Eisenhower has usu
ally given the effect of being
above most of the battle. But on
Thursday he spoke with all pas
sion spent, as one surveying a
distant horizon and contemplat
ing from a high place a Prom
ised Land. It is not surprising
that his address was not univer
sally acclaimed among the Re
publican rip-snorters.
THE President is fully aware,
no one more so, that there
will be no Promised Land to en
ter if the peace is not preserved.
But though the chances are good
that in the calculable future
there will not be a Cold War,
I am very much afraid that the
President is giving the country
an expurgated and prettified
view of the international situa
tion. In saying this, I am assum
ing that the platform and the
keynote address reflect his
views.
They pretend that post-Stalinist
Russia and what is often call
ed "the great thaw" has been
brought about by the Eisenhow
er administration, and that these
historic changes reflect if not a
surrender, at least a great con
cession to our demands. This is,
I feel sure, a dangerously false
reading of the meaning of the
events, It ignores the rise of Rus
sia as a world economic power.
It ignores her breakthrough to
a new plateau of competitive
strength. On the other hand, it
ignores the crumbling of the
Western system of alliances all
the way from Japan, South Asia
and the Middle East to the Balk
ans and Germany.
No doubt the threat of war
has greatly diminished, perhaps
disappeared. But the decline of
the power and influence of the
Western nations, ourselves in
cluded, is dramatic, and is gath
ering momentum. It will be a
great disservice to our people if
they are lulled to sleep.

DECIDE EVERYTHING.
It is the people toward whom
are pointed all this fabulous ma
chinery of campaign years in
cluding national party conven
tions. The people occupy what
in football parlance is known as
"the stands." It is to them that
everything is directed, for it is
their votes that will determine
the final results. The delegates,
after all, are only the servants
of those who will do the voting.
THAT brings me down finally
to what I started out to
say, which is this:
To cynics of whatever breed
this convention which hai just
unanimously nominated Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Richard M.
Nixon to be its candidates for
President and vice president was
doubtless just a steam roller
that smashed its way to a prede
termined objective.
But
The cynics will be largely pro
fessionals. These tens of thou
sands of people here in the
stands aren't professionals. They
are just PEOPLE who have come
here to watch this greatest show
on earth. They have brought
with them their feelings, their
hopes and their aspirations for
a better future for their children.
CIRCULATING among them
listening, not questioning
you can't help coming very soon
to the positive conclusion that
this cross section of America
that sits in the Cow Palace
stands is in complete sympathy
with what has just happened
that is to say the renomination
of Eisenhower and Nixon for the
high offices of President and
vice president of the United
States of America.
To them, it isn't any deal
fixed up among politicians. It is

Deplores Auio Ads
To the Editor: Recently the
Mail Tribune carried an edi
torial on kids who get into
trouble. Timely I think, because
it is our No. 1 domestic head
ache and threatens to get worse.
What to do about it is, of course,
the question. I do not think it a
question for a state legislature
because the matter transcends
state lines.
Most of us have known for a
long time that the sources of
undesirable ideas from which
most delinquency stems have
their origin in questionable lit
trature and offensive pictures,
motion and otherwise. Even TV
contributes to our difficulties
by dramatization of violence and
its easy portrayal of what hap
pens when you pull the trigger
of a hand gun. Gloria Swanson
put it very well when she said
in substance: How can we expect
our young to have respect for a
gun when it is used and dis
played so carelessly, in some
of the media through which our
young are entertained?
There is another type of de
linquency and it is not all juve
nile. You may be surprised to
know it is fostered, wittingly or
no, by the manufacturers of
motor cars. It is called highway
delinquency, caused by some of
the advertising coming out of
Detroit.
For instance the Ford Motor
Company says, "Nobody out-per
forms a Ford." Dodge states of
its product, "Man, it's dyna
mite!" Chevrolet comes up with
this one, "Now the hot one is
even hotter." There are other
similar ads all suggesting by
innuendo that motor cars are
made primarily today to go fast
and even faster. Nothing is said
about the unhappy results of
such a course although the mor
tality tables tell the story.
If we must have more laws
then I would like to see a few
that deal with this proposition
before the potential delinquent
gets into trouble. We seem to
have a surfeit of statutes that
deal with the problem after they
get into trouble and to my way
of thinking that is putting the
cart before the horse. So let
us say to the motor car makers.
"Please tone down your ads,"
because they are saying to im
pressionable persons old and
young, that speed somehow is
good for all of us, when only
the undertaker actually comes
out ahead.
If it is unlawful to mis-label
a package of food, it should also
be unlawful to mis-label the use
to which an already dangerous
instrumentality should be put,
for today's automobile is just as
lethal as any gun, both of which
are handled all too carelessly.

The Two Conventions
To the Editor: The two con
ventions have come and gone.
The voters can estimate what
they are worth. The Republicans
said the Democratic was a gas
explosion. The Republicans had
no explosion. They were too
disciplined for that.
The Republicans' convention
went off like a well drilled play,
the bosses gave, the orders and
the delegates obeyed.
Whatever they offer in the
platform is not important. After
the Republicans are elected,
they will forget all about the
Negroes, working men and the
farmers. These will be the for
gotten men. At the last session
of Congress the Republicans
united with the Dixiecrats and
defeated everything the Demo
crats wanted. They defeated
the Education Bill and also de
feated the cheap power bill
known as" the High Dam on
Snake river. Eisenhower got
his billion dollars for foreign
aid, but he vetoed the Internal
Bill for improvements.
To sum up the Democratic
party is the party for the com
mon people and the Republican
party for big business.

How will Nixon, the clever
phrasemaker and master of mass
communications, handle Kefau

cerity and hand-shaking?
Who Will Win?
Who will win? The Barefoot
Boy from Yale or the Super
Salesman from Yorba Linda?
Kefauver and Nixon have
come to their opposing corners
by the same hard road. They
bear many of the same scars.
Both are from small-town-families
of modest means. Kefauver
is the son of a Madisonville,
Tenn., former businessman. Nix
on's family had a grocery store
in Yorba Linda, Calif.
Both attended local colleges,
then went East to law school;
Kefauver to Yale, Nixon to
Duke. Both came home, prac
ticed law and entered national
politics by way of the House of
Representatives.
Kefauver served in the House
from 1939-49, in the Senate
since. Nixon served two terms in
the House before his election to
the Senate in 1950. By their vote
getting ability, both survived
vicious intra-party fights in their
home states.
Both Owe to TV
Television boosted both to na
tional prominence. Nixon bet his
political reputation on his faith
in the testimony of Whittaker
Chambers, emerged a hero in
the televised exposure of Alger
Hiss.
Kefauver gave the country a
fascinating close-up of the seamy
side of life in his televised, cross
country crime investigation.
Both bring out strong reac
tions in voters. Nixon is a solid
favorite with Republican party
stalwarts, but if the polls can

be believed, he is disturbed by
many independents. Kefauver is
the darling of the farmers and
independents but is disliked by
influential southern and big city
Democratic leaders.
Neither man has much solid
experience in the executive
branch of government to prepare
him for possible succession to
the Presidency. Kefauver, at 53,
can look back only to four
months as Tennessee Commis
sioner of Finance and Taxation.

diplomatic and ceremonial du
ties. But he has not had personal
responsibility for carrying out
any major Administration pro
gram. Both In Congress
The two men served together
in Congress from 1947 to 1952
and their votes point up many
of the policy differences be
tween them.
Some specific, thorny disagree
ments emerge from the record.
In 1947 Nixon voted for the Taft
Hartley Act, Kefauver against it.
In 1948 and 1952, Nixon voted
against expansion of the Tennes
see Valley Authority, Kefauver
for it.
In 1949, Kefauver voted for a
five-year public housing pro
gram and in 1950 favored direct
loans to housing co-operatives.
Nixon was against both.
In 1950, they split on the In
ternal Security Act, requiring
registration of Communist and
Communist-front groups. Nixon
was for it, Kefauver against.
They disagree on farm price
supports, Nixon advocating flex
ible props and Kefauver backing
90 per cent of parity. Kefauver
has, at least by implication, chal
lenged Nixon's criticism of the
neutralist nations of Asia and
the Middle East. In 1952 Nixon
favored and Kefauver opposed
the McCarran-Walter immigra
tion law.
Some Similarities
On certain great Issues of na
tional policy, however, the two
men make common cause. Aa
long ago as 1947, both voted to
outlaw the poll tax and both
have endorsed the Supreme
Court school desegregation de
cision as the law of the land.
When tfiey were in Congress,
they agreed on support of a
peacetime draft and universal
military training. Both Kefauver
and Nixon backed the basic
measures of postwar foreign pol
icy: the Marshall Plan, NATO
and liberalized trade relations.
Both sponsored a resolution call
ing for a conference among At
lantic nations to bind them closer
politically and economically.
Nixon as a Senator sponsored a
version of the Bricker amend
ment to limit the treaty-making
powers of the President.
Their areas of agreement ara
likely to drop from view es the
campaign progresses. Kefauver
got in the first blow In his ac
ceptance speech, describing his
opponent as a "political sharp

Why Biller Quit
GEO. N. TAYLOR
When a logger from the camps
came into Biller 's place and had
money, Biller would get him
drunk and throw him out. But
one night it
all ended. Bil
ler awoke to
think on his
business and
his ways and
out of it he ac
cepted Christ
into his heart
as having died
for him to
clear him and
give him eter
nal life. It all reminds us of the
day when Christ bid Himself to
eat at the home of wealthy Zac
cheus. At the close, Zaccheua
said "Lord, I now give to the
poor, half of my property and
if I have defrauded any man of
anything, I will pay him back
four times as much." Luke 19:5
6 BIBLE. So Christ's very self
changed Zaccheus. And He
waits to change you over and fit
you for the glory over there.
