The "Letters to the Editor," column of the Pendleton East-Oregon-Ian has almost as many letters on the subject a3 does that of the M-T. One writer cites the fact that Pendleton does not have any bus service at all. (Medford's service is now so limited, due to lack of patronage, that it serves few indeed except students.) She said: "Perhaps if a poll was taken in the business places, ask ' in g if the employee would ride a bus if available, you could get an idea if it would pay to have a bus line now ... I wrote .to the Chamber of Commerce about this once, and ' was informed that it didn't pay and that almost everyone had a car and enjoyed the independence of coming and go ing as they wished. I do too. But I'm as tired as everyone else of driving around and around the block waiting for some one to puU out so I can get a parking space. Most of us plan our time so a bus schedule wouldn't be too hard to conform to. I wonder if anyone else feels the way I do?" TOR some months now we have been receiving pub lications presumably put out by an organization of transit companies, which with considerable logic pound home the fact that there is just so much space for parking in downtown areas, that it is pretty well filled in most places, and that rather than trying to attract more CARS into an already congested area, the thing to do was to attract more PEOPLE. Only a bus line can do this at least until heli copters take over. Some of the larger cities have already started limiting parking on many streets (to improve traffic flow a measure which will come to Medford as soon as the arterial street program progresses) and some are even considering a flat ban on private au tos in downtown areas. This, coupled with special lanes for buses, frequent schedules, and so on, is seen as the salvation of overcrowded downtown streets. TE understand that a group of Medford business T people a few months ago considered an attempt to acquire Evergreen Bus lines, and operate it for the reasons cited above. This project apparently was ab andoned, possibly awaiting the outcome of the Nov. 6 election on off-streeet parking. It might be a time now that Christmas shoppers are crowding downtown, despite the nasty weather of recent weeks to reconsider the plan. We have long thought that a thoroughly good bus service, with adequate schedules which, were well publicized, and a consistent program of letting people know about it, just might be the thing which could rescue bus service from the slump which Jhas hit it both here and in many other places. Up to this point, a car certainly has been a more convenient way of going downtown. But with parking the way it is, a good bus service might turn out to be more convenient still. ""THERE are a lot of aspects to this parking problem business. We can't get over an uneasy feeling that motorists are going to be sorry the tax-free off-street parking program wasn't passed at the election. But that is water over the dam, and the immediate need is to find temporary expedients until a more perman ent solution can be found. One of these was the city's order to the police de partment to enforce the old ordinance banning "meter-feeding" in an attempt to prevent people from monopolizing parking spaces too long. Since the ordinance has been neglected for so long, rather sudden enforcement of it took people by surprise, and there was resentment, particularly among those who cannot complete their shopping within the allotted hour, and who find it difficult, in convenient and irritating to move their car each hour. This is ? matter which the council should recon sider, either reaffirming the desirability of the ordin ance, or repealing it. E.A. Writing Machine In offices of every variety and description, and increasingly in homes, the typewriter is a necessity. Among those of us who earn our livings by using such a machine, it is so familiar and taken-for-grant-ed that it is just a part of the landscape. Chiefly, it is criticised because it cannot, unassisted, spell very well, but generally it is accepted even when it is cranky. THE typewriter, then, is so much a part of the cur rent scene that it is odd to realize that it is only 100 years old this year. The December issue of the Scientific American, in its 100-years ago column, describes the event as follows : "A most remarkable invention, which we have re cently examined, is a srr.aU and neat hand-machine for printing. Its object is to print letter after letter, as a substi tute for writing with pen and ink. The devices combined to execute the printing continuously In lines are ingenious. The letters of the alphabet, numbers, punctuation marks and spaces are so arranged that when a lever is pressed down, the letter is forced upwards and impressed on a sheet of paper. The paper is fed into the machine on a roller. When one line is printed, the roller is turned forward one notch, then pushed back to its starting position, and the machine is ready to print another continuous line. A band of paper of any length may be used in the machine, and the printed portion Can be read as it is fed out. "This machine is well adapted to meet the wants of the community for various purposes. It can be brought into service in villages, in getting out handbills, notices or labels of ny'kind," and it forms a very instructive mode of teach ing young persons to spell, punctuate, compose, &c, because they can reproduce at pleasure, in printed form, essays in prose or verse." TN THE intervening years, of course, the machine A has become so universally accepted that the pre diction that it would be bills, notices or labels" is Shycks, we know a few people who write letters, and whose letters couldn t handy machines. E.A. Monday. Dctmir 10, 1958 handy for printing "hand amusing in retrospect. be read if it weren't for the New Lease of Life Seen Likely For Western Defense Alliance By CHARLES M. McCANN United Prest Correspondent The Western alliance against Russian aggression is likely to take on a new lease of life this Vrgmm, week. There seems to be good rea son to believe that the North Atlantic Treaty o r g a n i z a tion will be material- Charles Mrcann ly. Especially, there is hope that relations between the United States and its closest allies Great Britain and France, will be re cemented. Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles, French Foreign Min ister Christian Pineau and Brit ish Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd are meeting in Paris to day. Tuesday they will be joined in a formal conference by the foreign ministers of the other 12 members of the North Atlan tic countries. If all goes well, it is quite possible that President Eisen hower may invite British Prime Minister Anthony Eden and French Premier Guy Mollet to visit him in Washington next month. Weakened Steadily That would be the final evi dence that a long and danger Matter of Fact TROUBLE FOR DULLES AND WI -SON Washington It is rather safe to predict that both' Secretary of State Dulles and Secretary of Defense Wil son or their sue cessors are going to have a much rougher time with the 85th - if i congress man 'K x-s5J they did with the 84th. In Senate espe cially, the lueub Alsou Democrats are for the first time really in a mood to take out aft er the Eisenhower administra tion, on both the defense and foreign policy fronts. Secretary Wilson particularly is likely to have an unhappy time on Capitol Hill, if he stavs on. Last sum mer Sen. Stu at Symington of Missouri con ducted an inquiry into relative Amer ican and Soviet air power. He took testimony both from the civilian offici- Stewart Alsop als like Wilson and Secretary of the Air Force Donald Quarles, and from the men with opera tional responsibility, like Gen erals Nathan Twining and Cur tis Lemay. Although the civilians tried to put the best face possible on mat ters, the net effect of the testi mony was downright devastat ing. It was based on the nation al intelligence estimates accept ed by the Administration itself. And it showed beyond question that the Administration policy of cutting back on air force ap propriations had permitted the Soviets to forge ahead in four of the five main categories of air power, including strategic air power. a a a lOR reasons which remain mysterious, Adlai Stevenson never really used the devastat ing facts unearthed by the Sym ington Committee in the cam paign. Indeed, he killed the Issue for campaign purposes by his stand on the draft and the hydro gen bomb tests. But the issue is not dead all the same. . Symington and his staff are now hard at work on a report summing up the facts and their meaning. The report will be Is sued to coincide with the Presi dent's State of the Union and budget messages. And it will thereafter serve as the basis for questioning Wilson, Ojuarles and company in hearings before the Armed Services Committee. Sen. Richard Russell, chair man of the committee, is expect ed for the first time to permit publication of the hearings, sub ject to censorship. And Wilson Quarles and company will thus be forced either publicly to re pudiate the testimony of men like Twining and Lemay, or to defend a policy which permits the Soviet Union to attain rela tive air superiority over this country. This is surely an un happy prospect for the Defense Department officials. a pHE prospect facing Secretary - Dulles is almost equally un happy. In the last session of Congress, the prestige of Sen. Walter George, then Chairman of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, served as a shield for Secretary Dulles. It was only necessary to persuade George to support the Administration po sition, and all criticism was stilled. ft ---$4 i J (,,- . s j . ous slump in Allied relations had ended. The North Atlantic alliance, formed in 1949 when the threat of a third world war was great, has been weakening steadily since the death of Josef Stalin brought a temporary new look to Russian policy. Relations of the United States with Britain and France were strained severely by the ' British-French invasion of the Suez canal zone. Now the Russian mask is off. Russia's belligerent attitude in the Middle East, and its shock ing brutality in Hungary, have made it clear that the cold war is on again. Both the British and French governments are in trouble still because of the Suez situation. Neither Eden nor Mollet can be sure that he will keep his job for very long. But the Suez dispute also awakened the United States, Britain and France alike to the necessity of keeping their ties strong. Their feeling is shared by the other NATO governments as to the necessity of maintaining their alliance. West German Foreign Minis ter Henrich Von Brentano is likely to play a big part in this week's NATO talks. Adenauer Worried With good reason, West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Aden auer is seriously worried over By Joe and Stewart Alsop Now George is no longer in the Senate. And Secretary Dulles will face on the Foreign Rela tions Committee some of the sharpest-minded and sharpest tongued Democrats in the Sen ate men like the majority whip, Mike Mansfield of Montana, who is bitterly critical of the Dulles foreign policy, and Fulbright of Arkansas and Humphrey of Min nesota. Young John Kennedy of Massachusetts, another sharp mind, is slated for appointment to the committee, and the new chairman, old Theodore Green of Rhode Island, is no fool. The disappearance of Sen George from the scene is of course not the only reason why Dulles faces a hard time on Capitol Hill. In an election year the Democrats were frightened of President Eisenhower's pres tige, and of charges of "playing politics with foreign policy These fears have now evaporat ed, more especially because this is President Eisenhower's last term. a a rjBVIOUSLY thoughts of 1958 " and 1960 play a part in the newly aggressive mood of the Democrats on the foreign policy and defense fronts. Just because this is so, there is for the first time serious discussion in the Admin istration of appointing leading Democrats to high de fense and foreign policy posts. The name of David Bruce, for mer Ambassador to France, is most frequently mentioned in this connection. Certainly any serious effort to restore the old bi-partisanship will be most useful. But al though partisan motives obvi ously play a part, partisanship is not the basic reason why Dulles and Wilson face a rough time on the Hill. The simple fact is that the Administration's policy of lucking it through on the defense and foreign front, which worked surprisingly well in the first Eisenhower admin istration, is no longer working at all. And this makes it certain that defense and foreign policy will be the over-riding issues in the years ahead. Copyright 1956, New York Herald Tribune Inc. U.P. Correspondents Eye Future United Press correspond ents around the world look ahead at the news that will make the headlines. Showdown Look for a showdown fight early next year between Con gress and the executive branch of the government over the al leged misuse of presidential au thority to withhold information from congressional investiga tors. Chiefly at issue is the blan ket use by departments of Presi dent Eisenhower's letter of May 17 , 1954, instructing Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson to hold back information on the fight between Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy and the Army. Cyprus Persistent rumors In London and other capitals say that Greek Orthodox Archbishop Makarios w'iU be freed from exile soon to join in a new attempt to settle the dispute over the island of Cyprus. Britain sent Makerios to the Seychelles islands in the Indian ocean, charging that he was hooked up with the Cypriot extremists who demand that Cyprus be handed over to Greece. A British legal expert is now completing a proposed I home rule constitution for the the position of his country. The United States, Britain and France sponsored West German rearmament and got West Ger many into NATO. Adenauer realizes that, in the event of war with Russia, West Germany would be in the front line. He has retuctanUy entered into diplomatic relations with Russia. But those relations have never been good. And while Adenauer has been pushing through a reluctant Par liament a German rearmament program, he has seen the United State, Britain and France, lull ed by Russian pretenses of good will into planning big reductions of their NATO troop contribu tions. Brentano is expected to urge Dulles, Lloyd and Pineau in the strongest terms both .to renew their own ties and to realize the vital necessity of keeping the North Atlantic alliance strong. Two-Price Wheat Plan Supported Portland (U.R) A resolu tion supporting the "two price plan" for wheat was adopted by members of the Oregon Wheat Growers ' league here Saturday as the group wound up its an nual three day convention. Richard K. Baum, executive vice president of the group, call ed the proposal a "long-range solution to the wheat problem at little cost to the taxpayer." Baum told fellow members that the "two price plan" also known as the domestic parity plan would work because it "puts the farmer back into the business of selling wheat." , Baum explained that under the plan, farmers would sell their wheat on the open market, but would receive parity pay ments on the approximately 50 per cent that was used for hu man consumption. He said that growers who in creased production would not qualify for additional parity payments and that extra wheat grown would have to be sold at the lower market price, thus automatically regulating pro duction. The league also went on rec ord as favoring the adoption of a general retail sales tax in Ore gon with half of the income used to relieve property taxes. Raphael Raymond of Helix was elected president of the league.

Among other things these laws provide that animals must be properly sheltered and that they must not be tethered with out shelter during cold weather. Native birds are also apt to suffer during weather like the present, and the Humane So ciety urges residents of the county to put out scraps, crumbs and chick feed for them. Southern Oregon Humane Society DURLING ON VACATION E. V. Durling, whose col umn "On the Side" appears regularly in the Mail Trib une, is on vacation. It will be resumed on Dec. 17. Headlines island. It may be offered to the Cypriots within a few weks. If so, Makarios will be needed to take part in negotiations. Could Be Washington insiders are con vinced that the demonstrations against "Stalinist" rule that erupted in Poland and Hungary will spread eventually to Russia itself. They say it won't happen soon. But they are watching such symptoms as recent student unrest in Moscow and Leningrad universities. Washington figures that in time Russians will find that relaxations due to revolt or threatened revolt are giving the satellite peoples a better way of life than exists in Russia, and will want something done about it. Pick Up A lot of superstitious Britons are saying that things will start to pick up after Dec. 23. That's when Big Ben, the famous bell' in the Parliament tower in London-, will start chiming again. Ben went off the air for repairs July 2. Since then Egypt has seized the Suez canal, prices have been rising. Britain's gld reserves have dwindled and British-American relations have been weakened. Today andoTomrrpw By Walter HUNGARY'S HEFUSAl. Contrary to what the Secre tary General of the United ac tions had been lei to believe by the Kaflar delegate in New York, tne dar govern ment in AuSaC pest is not now willing to dis c u s s arrange fn e n t s for a vt s i t on ftec. 16.FoPall prac tical purposes that gbvern m e n t is not .-ai;ai WVaULCr LlfJf nialD only refusing to admit the ob servers from the U.N., it is re fusing fo admit the Secretarje General himself. How can thjs refusal be reconciled with the obligations of a membeft Sure ly there can be no real doutft about the inherent right ofc th official agent of the United Nas tions to discuss with any govern ment that belongs to the United Nations any question with which the United Nations are con cerned. In the Effvntian affair nn one. not Britain, France and Israel, not Egypt, not the governments which are hesitating and ab staining about Hungary. Jias questioned the right of file Seco retary General to go0to Cairo to implement a resolution of the General Assembly. On what ground can his right to go to Budapest be questioned now? And on what ground could anyQ member of the U.N. justify its own failure fo uphold theo au thority and to defend the rights of the United Nations? Kadar's delegate is New Yoric, Mr. Imre Horvath, should be re fused the right to speaB or toj vote in the General Assembly until his government in Buda pest admits the Secretary Gen eral. This would be the appro priate reply to what is an sub stance a refusal by the Kadar government to maintain full diplomatic relationso with o the United Nations. It does not, oi course, mean the "expulsion" of Hungary, which as nation is a lawful and welcome member of the United Nations. Nor is it a withdrawal of the recognition of the Kadar government, even though in law it is not the legiti mate government o,f Hungary. lhe proper rule for ttje United Nations is to'deal with de facto governments. But the refusal to let Horvath speak or vote in the General Assembly would be to suspend in New York the diplo matic relations "wttich have been suspended in Budapest. a a THE refusal to receive the Sec retary General is consistent with the fundamental policy of the Kadar government, of the Soviet Union and of its satel lites. This is to prevent the Unit ed Nations from dealing with Hungary. This policy is being enforced by the paramount power of lhe Red Arny in Cen tral Europe. Because of that military power the resolution of the U.N. are ignored, its' agents are kept at a distance. Hungary is a country uVidSr the military occupation of the Red Army and the supreme law in Hungary is the law laid dwn by the Red Army. But this assertion military force is being rationalized by the claim which has made a impression in many capitals, that the Red Army is acting lawfully in Hungary and that to Sharp Earthquake Is Recorded in Pasadena Pasadena (U.R) A sharp earthquake wich could cause considerable damage if locate in a populated area was record ed at 8:19 a.m. (PST) Saturday by the seismological laboratory of the California Institute of Technology.
