From Tavern Cooler
Approximately $200 was re
ported taken sometime between
Thursday night and Friday
morning from a beer cooler at
Hunter's tavern north of Med
ford on the Crater Lake high
way, according to sheriff's depu
ties. The money was discovered
missing at 8:30 a.m.. Friday, by

through the front door, which
was discovered open Friday
morning.
Investigation of the theft is
still under way, deputies said.
MAIL TRIBUNE
Back to
There appears to b 3 no reasonable doubt that So
viet Russia has abandoned its "sheeps clothing," its
reign of "sweetness and light" and returned to Stalin
and Stalinism. The doubt is whether or not the rulers
of the Kremlin ever really left
In any modern or really civilized society, this
would put Comrade Krushchev in a very tough spot
In fact an impossible one.
For listen to what the .Russian leader had to say
about Stalin and Stalinism only a few months ago,
quote :
"Stalin discarded the Leninist method of convincing and
educating. He abandoned the method of ideological struggle
for that of administrative violence, mass repressions and
terror. He acted on an increasingly larger scale and more
stubbornly through punitive organs, at the same time vio
lating all existing norms of morality and of Soviet Laws."
TT IS difficult to think of a more severe and devas
1 tating indictment. But Krushchev continued, again
quote :
"Thus arbitrary behavior by one person encouraged
and permitted arbitrariness in others. Mass arrests and de
portations of many thousands of people, execution without
trial and without normal investigation created conditions
of insecurity, fear and desperation." -
IT WOULD be difficult to think up a better descrip
tion of what Soviet Russia is, and has been, doing
in Hungary, when that country only asked (and what
at one time Stalin promised to grant), its freedom
and independence.
It should not be overlooked that this testimony
is not from any enemy of Russia b one of its chief
leaders and propagandists. He goes on:
"The commission (Kremlin) has become acquainted with
a large quantity of information from N.K.V.D. from the
fabrication of cases against Communists, to false accusa
tions, to glaring abuses which resulted in the death of in
nocent people. It became apparent that many party Gov
ernment and economic activists who were branded as "en
emies" were actually never enemies, spies, wreckers, etc.,
but were always honest Communists."
And yet that is the sort of thing to which, accord
ing to all available evidence the Russian government,
in which the witness has such an important place, is
now deliberately returning.
f")NE thing is certain, to-wit:
There is no country in the world, except one
under a communist-imperialistic dictatorship, where
such an inconsistent, incredible and completely
amoral condition could be allowed to continue, much
less permanently exist. R.W.R.
772e "State of the Union"
According to many reports from Washington,
President Eisenhower did not want to read his "State
of the Union".message in person. He thought it more
fitting to have one of the reading clerks do it. He
was, according to the same trustworthy sources, over
ruled by his top-drawer "presidential advisers."
Well the President's keen political instinct was,
as so often is the case, far better than the professional
dictum of his subordinates.
e
ZOOMING so soon after the "bomb-shell" warning
to Soviet Russia, the "state of the union" offer
ing was bound to suffer by comparison and even if
it had had anything new to say which it had NOT
it would have been pretty much a "dud" as well as
an anti-climax. President Eisenhower had the right
idea, "Why not let George do it?"
MOT that there was anything particularly to criti
' cize, but it was all so routine, delivered in such
a routine fashion, and was never, so to speak, brought
into sharp focus.
We heard it over the air, and read most of it later,
but it is still difficult to say precisely what it all
added up to, and what were its significant and salient
points.
THE final impression was that it was a succession
of "Yes-buts." For example:
"Yes" the nation is strong for peace, BUT the
nation must be equally strong for war.
The atoms-for-peace program must be empha
sized, BUT there should be no let down in our mass
production, not only of atomic bombs and weapons,
but of flying missiles.
We should continue our efforts- toward world
disarmament, BUT take no risk of losing our strong
position in that important international field, in case
of trouble and trouble threatens.
We should be careful to preserve and utilize every
drop of water from the time it falls from the skies
to the time it flows into the ocean, BUT we should
beware of public power or any government competi
tion with private enterprise, or taxpaying industry.
(APPLAUSE!)
OUR national prosperity is unprecedented, BUT we
should follow the "hard money" line (which, ac
cording to many observers, is making prosperity im
possible for the "little man.") In this way only tan
we steer clear cf that most powerful enemy of our
prosperity, INFLATION.
"Mutual understanding" is the chief buttress of
human and civil rights, and we should be proud of
our progress in this direction, BUT a four-point civil
rights program should be at once adopted presum
ably because there is something still to be desired in
this direction and something needed to increase our
pride.

country the world has ever seen, BUT the time
has come for a broad inquiry in the performance and
adequacy of our FINANCIAL system.

Fat, Soft and Afraid
To the Edtior: Listening to the
President of the United States, I
was shocked and enraged by the
statement that our secretary of
state, John Foster Dulles, had,
not long ago, publicly advised
the Russians that they had noth
ing to fear from us. (U.S. in cap
ital letters.)
This is an apalling statement.
The Russian has gobbled up all
the country that was handy, and
the rest we gave him. With their
filthy, lecherous spies and camp
followers permeating the atmos
phere with their lies and in
trigue, within the boundaries of
the United States, nothing could
be more ridiculous!
We find upon careful apprais
al of the servants of the govern
ment, in high places, that they
are often weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting. Many
of them have never worked with
their hands, most have created
nothing. Fat, soft and afraid.
They sit in one place so long and
do so little that they are often
carted off to a government hos
pital at your exoense, to relieve
their miseries. When a man gets
soft and fat and" has no strength
he becomes afraid. The Russian
and the people of Asia watch
carefully for signs of weakness.
We have seen the signs. Timidi
ty, vacillation, and a plea to be
allowed to give away our money
and our men's lives, to strength
en our so-called friends. It is
well to remember that the beg
gar does not like the. alms giver.
He may bless you with his
mouth but in his heart he will
curse you. Abraham Lincoln said
it best. "You cannot strengthen
the weak by weakening the
strong."
It is time that men of courage
and men of strength replaced
the cowards and weaklings.
Men who look, act and talk like
men. Not those who whimper,
"you have nothing to fear from
us."
It is time to inform Russia
and anyone else who thinks we
are weak that they do have
something to fear from us. They
should .be informed that they
may well dread the wrath of the
United States. The only way to
make a bullying criminal treat
you right is to make him afraid
to do otherwise!
We have a chance often to
send men to Washington. Not
fat and cowardly weaklings. Let
us send men who will look the
demagogue in the eye across the
Pacific and damn him for his
treacherous thinking, and slap
him back in the putrescent slime
from which he crawled.

Project a Success
To the Editor: The Medford
Lady Lions wish to express their
deep appreciation to all the indi
viduals, clubs, lodges and other
organizations who were so gen
erous with their time and money
for their help in making the an
nual Christmas project a suc
cess. Without the help of all it
would not have been possible
to complete the project.
Because of the fine coopera
tion we received it was possible
to make over 600 children of
Medford and vicinity happy at
Christmas time.

Practice What You Preach
To the Editor: I have never
written you before but this grip
ing about the way the boys wear
their hair is just too much. Look
at some of the styles the girls
have but they are fine you
never hear of them being ex
pelled from school. And believe
me they are just as ridiculous as
the way the boys could dream
up. As for Elvis Presley, the
"duck tail," or whatever it is,
was here long before he was
ever heard of. I say let the kids
wear their hair as they like it.
They outgrow all these fads.
They are only teen-agers once in
a lifetime. If adults tried to set
a good example for our kids,
they wouldn't have so much
time to criticize them. They see
their parents and teachers smok
ing and drinking so they -think
it's O.K. for them.
My policy is. don't do any
thing you wouldn't want your
children to do, or practice what
you preach.
Yes. I have two teen-agers, a
daughter, 19. and a son. 17.

servation of our natural resources, BUT only through

Authorities whatever that means.
CO ONE might go on and on.
We don't say it was a poor speech, as such
speeches go, nor deny that many of the points made
were well taken, but it was so full of generalities, so
constantly qualified, so Sprinkled with phrases which
listened well but were so in need of further clarifica
tion, that the net result, at least as far as this depart

considerable confusion. R.W.R.
Complains About "Welfare"
To the Editor: This concerns
the Jackson County Public Wel
fare department and others in
this state.
I am able to work, but there
are no jobs to be had that I can
do, and I would like to get a lit
tle to get along on. I am self
employed when I can find work,
so they tell me I have to sell
my truck which I use in the
summer months to make my
living.
People go to Jackson Coun
ty Welfare and tell a pack of
lies and get help immediately,
and come out telling how stupid
they (the welfare) are and how
easy it is to get it. But when you
need it you can't get it.
One more thing that burns
me up, a poor old lady sent her
grandson to the Jackson Coun
ty Welfare (Jan. 2 1957) to tell
them she was moving to Cali
fornia and wanted to notify
them so they wouldn't keep
sending her checks. She thought
she was doing what was right
and not getting money under
false pretenses and they didn't
have decency enough to tell her
that she could draw welfare in
another state for one year. A
poor old lady that can't hardly
get up and around.
Section 11 in Chapter 459
Oregon laws, reads as follows:
Any recipient may move from
one county in the state to an
other or to another state and
on such removal shall remain
eligible to receive assistance in
accordance with the rules of the
State Public Welfare Commis
sion. Two years ago I went to the
health board and told them I
couldn't feed my two children
and asked them what I should
do about it and they just laugh
ed at me and said they didn't
know.
By the way folks, if you only
have two children you might
as well forget about getting wel
fare in Jackson county (although
there -are probably several fam
ilies getting it). But that is an
other excuse they gave me. The
family that has three or more
children are entitled to live, but
the rest of us are cast down to
possibly starve.
The people that go in and
tell the truth (and in some cases
are easy to handle) and need
help, they usually come out with
out anything. If the case is actu
ally starvation then they put
you off till the next two days
till they can make a house call,
and that takes them two weeks
sometimes to make, and I have
waited as long as a month.

Little Country
To .the Editor: Under, Com
munications in Tuesday's Trib
une, Edith Y. Ingle of 338 Bessie
st., writes under the heading
"God Save America." I agree
with her on that point, yes, God
will save America. If we have
guts enough to stand up and
fight for it. The very first line
for defeat is fear. And the first
line of offense is spreading of
fear and then the terror.
As to Edith Ingle, it's just too
bad she was not born 4000 years
ago in Egypt for the learned
embalmers to take care of her
after she died. She would be
worth some money by now. I
still have the clipping from the
Tribune she had a communica
tion before Christmas, praising
the old Egyptians as the good
embalmers, the Arabs for the
algebra.
May I ask, do the Egyptians
of today still understand the em
balming of old, or did the Rus
sian beat them to it? How many
of the average Arabs today do
understand algebra? I do not un
derstand it myself, but I always
can understand the state of
mind from the writer, whoever
she or he many be. To Edith
Ingle, Nasser of Egypt is the
great man of today. All the Eng
lish, French and Israelis are bad,
condemned. Even our Presi
dent Eisenhower is on the wrong
track and probably should be
fired like a "Red Herring" took
care of McArthur.

Matter of Fact By Stewart Alsop
THE STATE OF THE
PRESIDENT
Washington Now that the
President has given his report
on the state of the nation, a
report on the
state of the
President
seems in or
der. The state
of the Presi
d e n t, accord
ing to those
who should
know, can be
summed up
ft " . - i -
Stewart Alsop
very briefly.
It is good. Take the state of the
Presidential health first. No
President, and probably no man
in history, has ever had his
physical condition subjected to
such careful and continuous scru
tiny. His doctors brood over him
like a dozen hens with one
chick. Almost every day, his
blood is tested, his blood pres
sure taken and his pulse felt.
The mildest of complaints
a headache or a stiff shoulder
is treated like a federal of
fense. Aside from this daily testing
and probing, and the occasional
big ceremonial hospital exam
inations, the President is also
very regularly subjected to
searching check-ups at the White
House. Only a few days ago, for
example, Dr. Thomas Mattingly.
the heart specialist, performed
a thorough examination, and
gave the President a clean biU
of health.
THE President grumbled a bit
at first over aU this fussing
over him. But there are certain
compensations. Before his ileitis
operation, he used to have stom
ach cramps mostly mild but
occasionally very painful
much more often than was gen
erally known. He has not had
them recently, and in this sense.
bar recurrence, he is better off
than before his operation.
There are other compensa
tions. His doctors have decided
that regular exercise is not only
good for the President, but es
sential to his well-being. At Get
tysburg, recuperating from his
operation, the President was de
nied all exercise, and he brood
ed, and stubbornly refused to
gain weight, which worried the
doctors more than they cared
to admit. But as soon as he
got a golf stick in his hand, his
weight began to come back, and
the President now again has to
keep a watchful eye on the
scales.
The President goes to bed
early, usually by nine, gets up
early, usually by seven, and
works hard all morning. But
every afternoon he knocks off
work to exercise, with the un
clouded conscience of a man
who is only following doctors'
orders. He gets in some golf
almost every fair day, and a
swim is a regular afternoon oc
currence, rain or shine. He
swims in the heated White
House pool, sometimes alone,
sometimes with a grandchild,
and often with his boon com
panion George Allen, perennial
friend of Presidents.
TTIS relaxations are mild-
Western movie (the only
kind he likes), .a whiskey and
soda or sometimes two (also or
dered by his doctors); and bridge.
most often with Allen, Gen. Al
fred Gruenther, and William
Robinson, President of the Coca
Cola Company.
Under this regimen, accord
ing to those who see him often
the President is in an excellent
state of mind as well as health.
He still blows up from time to
time, about small matters. When
he found that he had signed a
proclamation fixing the date of
Thanksgiving on the day fixed
by Franklin Roosevelt, rather
than the traditional date, he al
most blew the roof off the White
House. When irked, he likes to
fix members of his staff with
a basilisk eye, and repeat an
old army saying: "No explana
tions are required, because no
the Hungarian rebellion than
anytime during both World
wars, when their little country
was entirely surrounded by war
ring nations. They took in 10,
000 Hungarians that escaped
from their homeland. They are
housing them in their army bar
racks. But those people do not look
for possible protection from a
dis-United Nations. Due to the
Hungarian revolt, its whole ar
my this coming year will be
equipped with the most modern
weapons and the girls and ladies
to take army training to learn
to shoot and shoot fast.
So if ever the big overgrown
black cat with its white stripes
down its back, that has a hide
mind of a rhino should start on
a rampage, overrunning one
country after another, they'll be
ready for it, to give it a great
reception, but probably not to
their liking. That black cat with
its white stripes down its ''back
has already overrun too many
little countries with their flow
er gardens and everything they
held dear trampled down and its
smell not only left behind, they
still staying there. Yes, I stiU
think President Eisenhower sees
too what that little country ac

explanations will be accepted."
But he is a great deal calmer
in spirit than he once was. He
still likes to get away, but he
no longer regards the White
House as a prison. Above aU,
though he still hesitates to use
the full power of the Presi
dency, he has a sense of inner
assurance he lacked in his first
years as President.
r"pO THIS optimistic report on
- the state of the President, two
warning footnotes must be add
ed. First, obviously, there is no
way to insure a man with the
President's medical history
against accidents. Second, less
obviously, the President's enor
mous prestige is, in a sense, a
positive danger to him.
His staff members and most
of the other men with access
to him are scared of him, less
because of his peppery temper
than because he has come to
seem somehow larger than life.
There is hardly anyone now who
is willing to stand up to him,
to argue with him, to criticize
his policies, to point blunUy to
the dangers, and difficulties
ahead. The Democrats, cowed
by the Eisenhower political
magic, hardly dare t breathe a
word against him, while the
President is more immune from
press criticism than any of his
predecessors without exception.
Even before his first election,
Eisenhower used to teU friends
that the great danger was that
he would be transformed into
a kind of miracle worker, who
could supposedly solve all prob
lems with a wave of a wand.
That danger is now very real.
and it is a danger which must
be taken most seriously in a
Democracy. Meanwhile it is good
to know that the state of the
President is good.

CLARITY AND
DELIBERATION
Mr. Dulles in his public state
ment did little to clarify; and
make concrete the new Middle
Eastern plan.
This unclear
ness is due, I
think, to the
fact that what
is really new
and of practi
cal importance
in the plan is
something
which it is dif
ficult to talk
Walter Llpomana
about in advance. This some
thing new is the authority and
the means to negotiate and to
bargain with the unaligned Arab
states.
I may be mistaken but I am
supposing that Mr. Dulles is hop
ing not to have to show his hand
before he plays it. His way of
getting Congress to vote the
authority, the men and the mon
ey, without his having to show
his hand is to talk very loudly
about something else, about the
need once again to warn the
Soviet Union not to attempt to
conquer the Middle East by war.
There are in the plan two re
lated yet separable parts. One is
the warning to the Soviet Union
or to a Soviet satellite, if there
were one, not to commit overt
military aggression. The other
is the request for bargaining
power to induce the Arab states
not to become satellites, not to
go overboard for the Soviet
Union. It is this second part
which has a certain novelty. It is
on the first part that the Presi
dent and Mr. Dulles have thought
it expedient to focus attention.
THIS may be a good public re---
lations device for dealing with
Congress, which is, of course,
quite willing to take a firm stand
to warn against aggression, but
is reluctant to sign blank checks.
The device is to make one pack
age of the warning and of the
blank checks. Congress is being
told that only if it "quickly dis
pels doubt" about our determin-;
ation to resist the "piecemeal
conquest of the world by war,"
will it have done what is neces
sary to preserve peace and free
dom. But is this good public policy?
Would it not be better to sepa
rate the warning from the bar
gaining power? The warning"
could be adopted promptly and
with something very close to
unanimity. The short resolution
being circulated by Speaker Ray
burn would do very well in
deed. It would be a declaration
by Congress that "the United

Below this, someone had care

A couple from Trail, Mr. and
Mrs. Harold Barber, recently at
tended a television show while
on vacation in Hollywood. An
alert public relations man asked
them to fill out cards about
their visit, and on the cards was
a space to give the purpose of
their visit to Los Angeles. The
answers were, on her card, "Get
in the sun," and on his card,
"Get out of the rain."

States regards as vital to her in
terests the preservation of the in
dependence and integrity of the
states of the Middle East and, if
necessary, will use her armed
force to that end."
Such a resolution need not.
and in my view should not, be
come a "substitute" for the reso
lution asked by the President.
Congress should give him author
ity and the means to negotiate in
the Middle East. But Congress
should act with deliberation and
should avoid giving the impres
sion that it thinks war is immi
nent and that it is being stam
peded into signing away its con
trol of the armed forces and of
.the expenditure of money.
THERE is good reason for think
ing that by breaking up the
package and by taking the two
parts separately, Congress would
help to make the overaU plan
more likely to succeed. For one
of the great defects of the Eisenhower-Dulles
approach has been
that it seems to imply that in ac
cepting, our assistance and our
guarantee, the Arab states are
aligning themselves with us
against the Soviet Union.
Certain of the key countries
are unlikely to do this. It might
be better, therefore, to deal with
the warning to the Soviet Union
in one resolution, and with the
authority to bargain with the
Arab states in another resolu
tion. (C) 1957 New York Herald
