SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL m V MEETING ADLAI STEVENSON in Milwaukee is Joe E. Smith, one of the legions of Joe Smiths who've been meet ing the Democrat presidential candidate. (Internationa!) Newspaper Operations Discussed at Chamber Roundtable Luncheon Gerald T. Latham, business manager of the Medford Mail Tribune discussed newspaper op erations in connection with Na tional Newspaper week at the Jackson Chamber of Commerce roundtable luncheon at the Jack ion hotel yesterday. Theme for the week is "Your Newspaper . . . Freedom's Key to Better Living." Latham pointed out that where there is a freedom of informa tion, such as in the United States, the standard of living will always be high. He used as examples Russia and France, countries that have low volumes of newsprint consumption and where the standard of living is low. By education and promotion through advertising, according to Latham, products are sold at .a volume which makes it pos sible for more people to purchase products. Advertising increases ales volumes and reduces costs, he added. Nawipapar Business The business of the newspaper, he explained, is to promote com munity welfare and appeal to all groups and classes of people. The news room of the Mail Trib une has in its files, according to Latham, information on over 200 civic clubs which are pub licized from time to time. Because this week is also Na tional Newspaperboy Week, he I Mow on United I IHIAILIF FARE I I FAMMLY FIAN I A Is mvs m week! J .

La tham stated that a recent policy of the M-T is to award a schol arship each year to one of its newspaper boys. An M-T survey, taken in 1952 of its newspaper boys in 1942. showed that the boys who are most successful as newspaper boys, are also successful later in life. He said of 28 Medford carriers surveyed, 24 of them had gone onto college or ad vanced schooling. Presently the M-T has a pro gram of training for the news paper boys covering proper de livery, salesmanship, record keeping and collecting. Washington Said No Integration Example Washington U.R) A South ern congressman said today con gressional hearings have demon strated that Washington's school integration program cannot be held up as a model for other communities to follow. "On the basis of the testi mony, categorically no!" Rep. John Bell Williams (D.-Miss.) said when asked if he Thought Washington was setting an ex ample on integration. Williams is one of four South ern congressman who have par- CAB approval Tuesday. October 2, 1956 Gore Sees Trend Away From Ike Picking Up Steam Washington !U.R! Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.), said to day he found on an eight-state tour an "unmistakable trend" away from President Eisenhow er. And the trend, Gore said in an interview, is "picking up steam all the time." Gore shiea away from making a flat prediction at this point that the Democrats will recap ture the presidency. But he said "as of now Mr. Eisenhower is in very serious trouble and the Republican state tickets are in even worse trouble." Completes 10-Day Tour Gore based his political ana lysis on his "grass roots find ings" during a 10-day speaking tour through eight states. His itinerary included New York, Ohio, Illinois. Missouri, Kansas, Utah, Idaho and Tennessee. On the basis of conversations with everybody from local pol iticians to cab drivers. Gore said, he found voters switching to the Democrats for these reasons: "The tie-up between the ad ministration and large vested in terests; a feeling that the Presi dent is not fully on the job and doubt that he is fully boss when he is on the job:" tight money high interest rates and the cost of living; 'Hard times" for farmers; "the worsening drift of interna tional affairs, and "that fellow Nixon." Saving Candidates Doubted Gore said it is difficult to as say at this point what effect Mr. Eisenhower's stepped-up cam paigning will have on the presi dential race. But he doubted Mr. Eisenhower can save many hard pressed GOP candidates on state tickets from defeat. "The presidential coattail is not worth what it once was," he commented. ticipated in 11 days of hearings on the capital city's racially in tegrated schools. Two northern congressmen who were members of the investigating subcommit tee did not attend the hearings. Thee National Association for the Advancement of Colored People charged that the South erners deliberately conducted the hearings in such a way as to make "inescapable the conclu sion that Negroes must be a pret ty bad group of people." azpoazi Airpri Terminal, tn Motifenf call 3-3643.

Svrnman Rhee. president of the Republic f Korea, ays that the most Important question facing the world todav is whether Communism will be turned back in its drive to enrulf the free world. Rhee Eives his iews on world problems in response to a request bv Earnest Hoberecht, United Press s-ice presi dent and eeneral manager for Asia, in the following statement written ex clusively for United Press. By DR. SYNGMAN RHEE Republic of Korea President Written for United Press Seoul, Korea (U.R. In my opinion, the question that tran scends all others in internation al importance is whether or not the Communist tide will be turn ed back. If still-free peoples realize their danger, I am sure the world would be safe. But the appeasing spirit of coexistence has disarmed some leaders in whom the people trust. Others, who say they love liberty, add that they value life' more, and that a war in the atomic age would bring death to millions. They would be willing to settle for slavery. Millions Killed They don't know what they are talking about. War could be avoided by meekly submitting to the Communists, but death could not. Look at Soviet Rus sia. Look at Communist China. Both countries succumbed to Communism without great wars, but as an issue of Time maga zine expressed it earlier this year, the number of people whose lives were snuffed out in those countries while the Communists were consolidating their power was so monstrous the mind could not visualize so vast a slaughter in human terms: 20 million Chinese done away with and 24 million more miss ing, believed confined in forced labor camps; 15 million Rus sians killed or allowed to die of starvation. That's peace under Commu nism. All the wars in Korea's and America's histories com bined have not taken one-tenth of this total In human lives. Peace can be sought today by accepting Communist domina tion, but it" will not be perman nent peace. Anyone who once has tasted freedom will not long remain satisfied enslaved. Mil lions upon millions will die for resisting or on suspicion of re sisting Communism. Such a peace would mean endless war. Does Not Propose War I do not propose war. but I disapprove telling the Kremlin that we will not fight, no mat ter what. , UNITED! 33 Turning Back of Red Problem for World As I have said repeatedly there is no substitute for force or the certitude that aggression j will inexorably evoke deter mined unlimited resistance. Ag gression would die and there would be no. more wars if all good-neighbor countries would instantly and unreservedly come to the aid of a nation attacked or threatened. Had the war in Korea been carried through to victory, Ko rea would be a perfect example. Communists respect force superior force. Guarantee avowed aggressors pain for profit and there will be no war. The problem of unification uniting the Korean Peninsula into a democratic, independent nation is the greatest problem we Koreans face. But we recog nize that it is interwoven with the entire free world's problem of turning back Communism. If Korea were a free island in a Communist sea, how long could we survive? Because we realize other democracies have identical problems, we guide our national cause for the common welfare. "All for one and one for all" coordinates and multiplies many times the individual strength. Unification Needed There are times when to act alone is the only honorable course open, but we pray that those countries which still re gard human freedom as para mount will move to combine their strength to oppose Com IfeM DEER HUNTERS FOOD FREEZERS Just the Freezer $1 00 DEER MEAT ZL SAVE - .

Unification of Korea would signal the retreat of Commu nism, the start of a movement downward from the high water mark. Our neighbors, themselves in peril, tell us they draw cour age from our courageous resist ance. Many people throughout Asia are awakening to the truth about Communism by virtue of our experience. But there is great need for more vigorous international leadership, for actions to match the sober words that prove re sponsible statesmen and military leaders are aware that Commu nism's international aim re mains fixed only the tactics are changed, and these only temporarily. This is not the time for com placency. Coexistence is not pos sible when good faith exists on only one side. Communists have no faith.
