Visionary Picture?
Picture this :
Medford merchants are holding their annual
"spring opening" showing of merchandise in connec
tion with the Pear Blossom Festival in April. The
parade has passed. Parking is not permitted on Main
street between Front and Bartlett, nor on Central
between Sixth and Eighth. For a period of several
hours, these streets are blocked off and traffic is
re-routed. The shoppers inspecting the spring finery
are free to roam and wander as they please, across
streets and intersections, with no traffic worries. May
be there's a stieet dance. Maybe merchants have
set up attractive displays in the middle of the street.
THIS is fantastic, isn't it?
But they're seriously suggesting that very thing
for Eugene come their spring opening, with most
of Willamette street (their main thoroughfare) closed
off (although cross-streets would be operating).
The suggestion was made by the head of the
planning commission and the city's professional plan
ning consultant. The idea is that even shoppers who
would have to park some distance away would still
be attracted by the parade and by the novelty of
clear and unencumbered streets, and that both cus
tomers and merchants would become enamored of
the "earless" shopping sections which planners for
see in the future.
AXfELL, why not?
Downtown areas are getting less and less
inspired and less and less interesting, anyway, as
traffic congestion continues to get worse. The huge
j success of some shopping centers which put emphasis
! on pleasant walk-ways, surrounded by trees and
i grass and fountains, with benches for the weary,
and soft recorded music, has given some people the
idea that the entire downtown area might well be
treated as one great big shopping center itself
which, m essence, it really is.
And perhaps the visionary idea of a University
of Oregon landscape architect, Fred Cuthbert, isn't
so visionary after all. Long ago he suggested that
mam streets be torn up and planted to grass and
decorated with shubs, fountains and benches with
out the eternal problem of waiting for signals and
dodging cars.
pHE Eugene Register Guard says:
"As time goes on, we think, businessmen are getting
over the idea that it helps them to have all the traffic in
town passing their shops. They realize that few cars can
park on a street like Willamette and that many drivers
seek consciously to avoid driving on it. It's just too crowded,
and parking is next to impossible. . . And people don't shop
from moving automobiles."
Let's see what happens in Eugene. E.A.
Babies and Lumber
Young people aged 20, 21 and 22 were born in
1937, 1936, and 1935, when the United States was
just beginning to climb out of the Great Depression.
They are the "depression babies," born when the
American birth-rate was far lower than either before
or after. They are, relatively, few in number, in com
parison with those who were born earlier or later.
To this far-off cause can be attributed, in large
part, the fact that the lumber market, so vital to the
prosperity of this area, is m the doldrums.
INURING the late war years and the early postwar
years, the lumber market boomed as the demand
for lumber remained high and steady in the attempt
to eaten up with the bunding which was not done
dunng the war. There was a terrific backlog of de
mand for new houses, for new business establish
ments, and this demand for construction was directly
reflected in the demand (and the price) for lumber,
Wow, however, the backlog demand has mostly

down largely to the level of replacements, and the
homes needed by the new families becoming estab
lished.
And the people who are establishing new homes
are largely those who were born during the depres
sion years and there aren't many of them. QED
fewer homes are needed.

event it was suggested that Nik

premier, would be made chair
man of the presidium of the
Soviet Union, or figurehead

Harold Macmillan, Britain's
new prime minister, completed
his cabinet. He received a cor

President Eisenhower.
Egyptian President Gamal Ab-

French banks and insurance
companies in his country. His
decree meant the virtual seizure

Chou En-lai
Chou En-lai's mission to Po
land and Hungary was a con
fession of Russia s anxiety over
the situation in satellite Eastern
Europe. Chou was called urgent
ly to Moscow for consultation.
Chou then went first to War
saw, then to Budapest, on what
constiuted a "trouble-shooting
mission.
He spent five days in Warsaw,
conferring with "independent"
Polish Communist leader Wlady
slaw Gomulka. It took him but
one day to fix things up in Buda

Kadar.
Chou succeeded in working
out a formula under which Mos

fountainhead of Communist doc
trine.

A the new homemakers will be those born in the
years 1938, 1939 and 1940, when the birth-rate in
the U.S. started its swing upward.
After them will come the "war babies," that surge
of population that started in the early 1940s and
which kept going up and up the same surge that
has reached the public schools and created such a
tremendous problem in accommodating them.
So, from 1960 on into the future beyond, the
demand for new homes (and for lumber to build
them) will start an upward curve the end of which
is not yet in sight.
THE outline above is not, of course, the only reason
for the lumber market slump. There are other
economic factors too complicated for ready analysis
and explanation. But it is the sinrie largest cause
of the present depressed state of the lumber busi
ness and in a few years it will be the largest single
cause of another "boom" for lumber.
There will, as a result, be another suree in the
demand for stumpage, more pressure for higher
rates of harvest, and the continued threat to our fu
ture implicit in cutting more timber than we can
grow.
But, as the saying goes, "That's another story."

REMEMBER G BY M
IT'S BACK AGAIN
It sounds like old times again
around Washington.
Guilt by association was well
along toward joining such phras
es as lend-lease, Marshall plan
and five-per-center in that quiet
land where outdated words go.
But Joe McCarthy's back and he
hasn't changed a whit. Perhaps
he's even more efficient at prac
ticing the art he invented, Mc-
Carthyism.
Here are some of the things
he said at a press conference
Monday:
President Eisenhower is. sur
rounded "by a motley crowd
who are doing this country a
great deal of damage." Of this
group, Milton Eisenhower "tops
the list." Milton came into gov
ernment service "at the time
that extreme radical left-wing
group a number of them nam
ed as communists were in
there; he was as left as any of
them since then." Asked to di
vulge other members of the Pres
ident's group he considers dan
gerous, McCarthy said "Paul
Hoffman, C. D. Jackson, Sher
man Adams ... oh, I don't think
I'll run down the entire list."
That's just about the most
compact job of guilt by associa
tion McCarthy, the father of the
technique, has ever produced.
First, McCarthy uses the tried
and true G by A opener. Milton
was an assistant secretary in the
Dept. of Agriculture when there
were commies in the depart
ment. Then, in case anyone
missed the point, McCarthy says
that Milton was as bad as any
of them.
That sets McCarthy up for the
second movement in the refined
G by A procedure, the sliding
smear. He slides the small com
mie label down over Hoffman
and Jackson and Adams and on
the backstroke splashes it over
Ike himself. Anyone can con
clude that if so surrounded, Ike
is a dupe.
Then Jolly Joe uses the old
capper he used during the Army
investigations. He says casually
that ifs just too much trouble to
run all the way through the list.
The implication is that there is
more to the list, and that it's ex-
haustingly long.
With no committee chairman
ship to give him a stage for his
one-man investigations, McCar
thy has- to catch as catch can.
And he has to use strong words
to keep reporters listening. But
being persona non grata with the
administration gives him free
dom in villifying its high brass
He must still have a following.
This sort of stuff attracts radi
cals at both ends of the political
spectrum. But we believe the
followers decrease in inverse
ratio to the strength of the words
used. Albany Democrat-Herald.
Babson Park, Mass. I am
much interested in a Gallup
Poll on six questions of where
to live. I will
not discuss the
answers to
three of these,
namely
which is the
"Most Beauti
ful State"
or "which is
the Healthiest"
or "which is
the best for a
Winter or Summer Vacation."
The answers to all these ques
tions are most interesting. I, how
ever, am not qualified to pass
thereon.
Of the six questions, Mr. Gal
lup gives the ten first choices.
Based upon the Law of Aver
ages (ui which I have great
faith), the following nine states
appear in the answers to most
of the six questions. These are
California, Florida, Colorado
Washington, Oregon, Texas, New
York, Michigan, and New Mexi
co or Arizona.
Based upon my extensive
travels and the opinions of
thousands of friends, I honestly
believe that every one of our
ia states possesses to some ex
tent all the six advantages men
tioned in this poll. This means
to me that every reader should
continue to live in the state
where he is now located.
Look at the Record
Statistics show that death rates
and health conditions depend
90 per cent on the heritage and
habits of us individuals and not
upon where we live. The joy
which we get from a vacation
depends far more upon the peo
ple we meet than the scenery
we see. None of the things which
we really want can be purchased
with a railroad ticket!
1, however, should be an au
thority on the best places to get
a jod. II you mean now, the an
swer is "probably Southern
California or wherever airplane
plants are located." But, when
the fear of World War III is
over, these same sections will
suffer much unemployment. In
fact, directly after a previous
World War, 80 per cent of the
bus and taxi drivers of Los An
geles were said to be college
graduates.
Wages are higher when work
is plentiful in some cities, but
such work is likely to fluctuate
more. Statistics indicate that the
total yearly "take home" wages.
adjusted according to living
costs, are about the same in all
48 states. Again I say that in the
long run a family does not better
its total income by moving. One
can get more comforts in Miami,
Fla., than in Bismarck, N.D.: but
I am sure the latter is a better
place to bring up a family of
children.
Of course the future value of
land varies with different states.
Probably the best purchases for
speculation are' in the West
Coast States and the Southern
States. In making purchases of
homes, however, put more
money into the land rather than
into the house. Well-located land
in any part of this wonderful
country should continue to be
come more valuable from year
to year; but any house is becom
ing less valuable each year un
less money is constantly spent
to keep it up to date.
Three Recommendations
To those who are determined
to move, I suggest you consider
for investment or employment
a capital city of one of the 48
states. None of these 48 cities
have ever defaulted on their
municipal bonds. Owing to the
large number employed by the
various state departments, there
is very little unemployment even
during a depression. Due to pen
sion systems which most states
have adopted almost every
family feels secure about its old
age or the possibility of sickness.
Most important of all is the fact
that taxes can be collected from
the entire state to support the
capital city, whatever general
business conditions may be elsewhere.
Cities having State Universi
ties are also to be chosen. These
likewise are supported by taxes
from all the state. They are
rapidly growing. Your children
get a college education at a low
cost as well as a good "boy or
girl friend." I also like cities
which have non-fluctuating but
constantly growing industries.
The insurance business is a good
Illustration. Business is always
good in such cities as Hartford,
more of such cities. However,
your future depends upon you,
rather than upon where you are
located. Hence, my advice is to
avoid being a "rolling stone";
but make good where you now
are.
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
The big story in America to
day concerns spending.
President Eisenhower sends to
the congress the biggest peace
time budget in American his
tory. It calls for expenditure by
the government of the United
States of 71 billion 800 million
dollars in the 12 months of the
year beginning on July 1, 1957.
That is two billion nine hun
dred million dollars more than
was budgeted to be spent in the
current fiscal year, which will
end on the 30th day of this com
ing June.
CO much for spending. Let's
take a look now at the
amount of tax money expected
to be taken in.
The President anticipates that
the government's income in this
period will come to about 73
billion 600 million dollars. If
all goes as planned that is to
say, if the government spends
no more than the President esti
mates and takes in as- much as
he estimates there will be a
surplus of about one billion
800 million dollars.
This surplus could be applied
IF it materializes and IF it
were decided to do so to the
reduction of our rather stagger
ing national debt.
POOD?
It's better, of course, than
going further into the red.
But it would be better still,
everything onsidered, if we
spent less and paid off more.
U.S . Need Is Repentance
To the Editor: The furor ovar
the so-called Eisenhower policy
for the Middle East reminds one
more and more of the fable "of
the Emperor's New Clothes.
When one stops to analyze it,
there is really nothing new or
dynamic or dramatic about it
in short, there's just nothing
there. The United States is al
ready committed by endless
pacts, agreements, and alliances
to defend virtually any nation
attacked by the U.S.S.R., and to
undertake to buy friends
through economic aid is a bank
rupt and hopeless idea.
Notwithstanding our recent
actions in the U.N. and else
where regarding Suez, we are
still indissolubly tied in with
Britain and France in the minds
of most Arab peoples, and justly
or not, share the undying hatred
they harbor for colonial pow
ers. Their proverb, "Theenemy
of my enemy is my friend" is
very revealing, where their atti
tude toward Russia is concerned
We live in a new era of revo
lution in which men of every
race and creed seek to cast off
the chains that, bind them and
to establish once and for all the
supreme dignity and worth of
the human individual. This was
the spirit which inspired our
founding fathers, and were we
able now to approach it with
clean hands and pure hearts, we
would be able to seize the lead
ership from Russia and call all
mankind to go forward with us
to claim the promised land of
peace and freedom. But the vic
ious doctrine of racial super
iority which has crept in, now
has so far undermined the very
foundations of our democratic
structure that we are rendered
incapable even of putting our
own house in order, much less
of leading the world.
The spectacle of state govern
ments once more defying fed
eral authority as they did in pre-
Civil War days, while Christian
clergymen are imprisoned and
their homes and churches dyna
mited for the "crime" of seek
ing by legal and non-violent
means to secure and establish
justice for their people, presents
a sorry picture which even the
most backward and illiterate na-
I tions of the earth can interpret
without difficulty.
Our paramount need is not
for a new policy but rather for
acts of individual and collective
repentance. Without them,
doctrine for darker-skinned peo
ples will ever achieve the ends
we desire.

TTOW much will this budget
"--cost YOU, as an individual?
Its average cost to every man,
woman and child in the United
States will be $416. It will be
divided this way:
Out of each tax dollar, 59
cents will go for national secur
ity (armaments and military and
economic aid to our allies.) Ten
cents will go to pay interest on
the national debt. The farm pro
gram will take seven cents of
each tax dollar. Another seven
cents will go for veterans' bene
fits. Two cents will go for pay
ment on the national debt.
The remaining 15 cents of the
tax dollar will be spent for ALL
OTHER federal programs.
HOW do the people in Wash
iiurtnn mpmhpM nf trip pnn-
gress, members of the Presi
dent's cabinet, etc.) feel about
this biggest of all budgets in
our peacetime history?
Treasury Secretary Humph
rey makes it clear to the report
ers this morning that he would
LIKE to see the budget smaller.
He tells them: "If congress can
find ways to CUT the budget, I
would be very glad to see it."
He adds:
"Unless the government cuts
expenditures and taxes within
a period of time, we'll have a
depression that will curl your
hair."
QUESTIONED by the news
men, Republican Represen
tative Gross of Iowa agreed with
Secretary Humphrey that fail
ure to cut spending and taxes
will lead to a depression and
then added: "Why wait until
next year to start cutting? Why
not do it now?"
Democratic R e p r e sentative
Thomas Abernethy of Missis
sippi (tossing in a little touch
of politics) says: "The Presi
dent's budget is cold evidence
that Eisenhower economy is a
myth."
THIS question in closing:
When will congress start
CUTTING spending?.
This is the answer:
"Whenever the people start

A Hot Tip From B. K.
To the Editor: One of the lit
tle-known mineralized regions
in Jackson county is the Wagner
butte area, especially at its
higher elevations, although it
has been known by former pros
pectors for yielding both quartz
nnrl nocket cold for nearly a
century.
One of the hazards is the short
season that is free from snow in
the summer months. In former
years, old miners have ground
sluiced on the slopes of Wagner
ith eood results, using snow
water available from the early
spring run off.
Some areas are as much as fix
miles bv foot or trail from end
of a dirt road, so consequenUy
thorough iob of scientific pros
pecting has lagged. Only the
hardier old time mountain men
have really spent any amount of
time to scratch the surface of the -
area yet.
Adventure and reward awau.

Lutherans Render Thanks
To the Editor: We are indeed
very grateful to you and your
staff for the fine services you
have rendered our newly estab
lished congregation Ascension .
Lutheran.
We have passed the Christmas
and the New Year's celebration
and perhaps can get down to a
normal way of life. We realize
that without the fine coopera
tion from your paper we would
be quite helpless in our cam
paign. As humans we, too, are
rattier slow in recognizing the
importance of a local paper such '
as yours in assisting the work
of the Kingdom of God. We, too,
deal with human beings and
since we are in the same cate
gory, the tendency to err is still
the same.
We desire to continue calling
upon your assistance in the ad
vertising of our church's pro-,
gram in this community and,
hope we may have the same cor
dial spirit in 1957 as was shown
so generously in 1956.
On behalf of Miss Ruth Zach--er,
our parish worker, and my
self, we say thank you for every
consideration. :

How About Diet Problem?
To the Editor: In Sunday's
Potpourri Mrs. Starcher men
tions that American home
makers are reputed to have
scant knowledge of good "nutri
tion. The reason for this she has
actually given a few lines earlier
when describing the constant
bombardment of contrary opin
ion concerning proper eating.
Under the circumstances how
can the housewife be other than
confused?
Someday, perhaps, some enter

is feeding her family correctly.
