MAIL TRIBUNE
Parking Commission
Mayor John Snider has asked Councilman Fred
Robinson to prepare a summary of what has (and
has not) been done in an attempt to solve the lack
of parking space in the downtown area.
Of itself this compilation will solve nothing, of
course, but it is a step in the right direction. More
downtown parking space is greatly needed. A review
of the situation seems a logical thing to prepare be
fore further attempts at a remedy are made.
As noted here before, Medford is far from alone
in this situation; it is, in fact, one of the most uni
versal of municipal headaches throughout the grow
ing west, these days.
.
J7UGENE, Corvallis, Albany, Pendleton, Medford
these are the Oregon cities where the problem is
worst, where attempts have been made to work out
a solution, and, where these attempts have 'largely
failed, so far.
In a recent editorial, the editor of the Corvallis
Gazette-Times listed some things that city needs.
Prominently mentioned was off-street parking, as
follows :
"This problem is not going to solve Itself nor will It go
away by ignoring it. The merchants and the city must get
together and thrash out the responsibility for obtaining
sites as they become available. There are good arguments
for each to buy and maintain the lots but nothing will be
done unless it is determined which is going to do the job.
The longer this action is delayed the worse the problem
will become and the harder to solve."
THAT could as easily have been written about
Medford, were it not for the fact that the voters
of this city decided by a slim majority (349 votes
out of 9,385 cast) that the responsibility did not lie
with the city.
It is entirely possible that this majority decision
would be reversed in a later election, possibly follow
ing a more complete job of explanation of the pro
posed program. In 'other cities voters have found
that adequate parking is a legitimate function and
responsibility of city government.
There are several reasons they have found this
to be true. One is that with private operation of
parking lots trfere is no real opportunity for a bal
anced, over-all program to insure proper distribution
of the lots. Another is that there is no guarantee of
permanency; particularly if a lot owner is offered
a price for it which would afford him a better profit
than continued parking use. Then he would be under
no obligation to continue. A third, and related, rea
son is that private enterprise is under no obligation
to provide this service when and where needed. In
many instances, the philosophy is: "Let George do
it" George being the city government, of course.
""THE parking, proposal which failed in Medford
was the outgrowth of several years of study by
various volunteer groups and a committee of the
city council. It was felt that an equitable program
had been outlined, one which would be gladly ac
cepted by voters.
Since it was not, however, it might be well to
see how another city is going about it.
In Albany, too, there was a long study conducted,
this one by a Chamber of Commerce committee. As
a result, the city council passed an ordinance calling
for appointment of a city parking commission, . to
operate on an advisory basis.
It was appointed in December, and held its first
meeting last week,'electing officers, considering vari
ous proposals looking toward the easing of down
town congestion.
'J'HE Albany Democrat-Herald commented:
"Albany's new parking commission gave us a happy
surprise this week. At the group's first meeting there was
none of the lost motion so often seen. In such groups. There
was no fussing around with parliamentary rules or with
setting up elaborate subcommittees and the like. The group
just went to work, showing deep perception of the business
at hand. . There also was the realization that the commis
sion must be concerned with more than downtown area.
Downtown is the area that hurts now, but developments
elsewhere need planning Another good sign came when an
" early motion to meet once a month was knocked down in
favor of twice a month. And before the meeting ended
special meeting had been set in addition to take up the
ordinance proposed earlier by the planning and zoning
commission. It would require new structures in some zones
and of certain size and type to supply parking areas ade
quate to .expected traffic resulting from the business in
question. This idea must be resolved soon, and' so should
all other parking matters, if Albany is to hold its shoppers."
If nothing else, the Albany plan of naming a
parking commission will have the effect of calling
public attention to the various ways and means of
improving the parking situation. This in itself will
be a step forward, for as we see it, only through
public acceptance of some public plan will the sit
uation be made tolerable, in Albany," Medford or
anywhere else.
A ND finally, let us return to Corvallis, to hear the
suggestion of the editor there, as follows:
"It seems to us the first step which might logically be
taken would be the appointment of a joint council-merchants
committee. . . This committee could Study various
plans used in other communities (there are hundreds of
them) and then make recommendations ... as to what
should be done. They should come up with a majority
agreeing on whether lots should be city-owned, merchant
owned or a comoinaton of both. They may also be able to
agree on how the lots should be financed."
This is what Medford did, once. Perhaps it had
better be done again, preferably as an official agency
or commission, since we apparently have to start once
more from scratch. E.A.

"Unemployed" is Answered
To the Editor: Oridinarily I
do not pay any attention to
complaining letters, however, I
feel that I want to answer "Un
employed's" letter of last Sun
day regarding the "Hungarian
Invasion". I know the employer,
who was humanitarian and
Christian enough to offer one
far less fortunate a chance to a
new life. The "employer" has
laid off not one employee to help
this man, but is making a place
for him, while operating at a
loss to himself. If one "employ
er" can find it in his heart to
help a man re-build his life,
free of Communism, can the rest
of us be less generous with our
thoughts? The "Hungarian gyp
sy" is a fine young Catholic
boy, not a "good Presbyterian".

Urges Policy Chang
To the Editor: I wonder how
many people in the city of Med
ford are aware of and approve
the present policy of the city of
ficials whereby they will not al
low a community, desperately in
need of sanitation services, to
alleviate an unhealthy and de
grading condition unless the
community is annexed to the
city?
Regardless of how large Med
ford becomes there will always
be communities near the city
limits unless the treatment is
such that they will either not lo
cate close by or will move to a
more friendly city. There are
many reasons why people select
a home outside of the city lim
its. I'm sure you can think of
several.
People in those communities
are in a sense, Medford, at least
their mail is so addressed and
they take part in many of the
city activities. Business men
within the city are only too hap
py to serve them and the public
utility companies furnish them
the required services. Matter of
fact, when you look at them real
close, it's kinda hard to distin
guish them from city people.
Why not be a good neighbor?
Contact your city councilman
and tell him to do the decent
thing and allow an outside area
that is in dire need of sanitation
to hook up to the city sewer line
that runs close by.
. These communities are not
asking for a free ride. They are
willing, and in most cases able,
to pay their own way. As a mat
ter of fact, most of them helped
to pay for the sewer plant which
was given to the city by the fed
eral government when Camp
White folded.
It's kinda rough to be made to
beg for a service of this kind
and still not be able to receive it
at this level when at a much
higher governmental level all of
us give, in the form of taxes, to
eliminate conditions of this na
ture anywhere else in the world.
City officials set the policy can
you have them change it or is
it unchangeable?

Benson Questions
Livestock Proposals
Las Vegas, Nev. U.R) Secre
tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben
son today questioned whether
the government should support
proposals which would reduce
the livestock population on
Western ranges while encurag
ing producers to increase the
supply of wool -through increas
ing the number of sheep.
Benson said the drought, the
poor condition of the range in
certain areas, and the relatively
high livestock population have
led to a variety of proposals for
what is called "deferred graz
ing." These proposals would pro
vide an opportunity for ranchers
on a voluntary basis to set aside
part of their range land and re
frain from grazing these lands
for a specilied period. A pay
ment, based on the carrying ca
pacity of the range, would be
made for acres so set aside.
Holmes Says State
Not Getting Share
Washington (U.R) Gov.
Robert D. Holmes of Oregon
claimed yesterday the administra
tion was discriminating against
Oregon in allocation of federal
funds for forest highways.
Holmes said such funds are
distributed under a formula de
signed to give equal considera
tion to acreage and the value of
the forests of each state. "Ore
gon," he said "is scheduled to
receive during the fiscal year
less than 13 per cent of the total
federal allotment despite the
fact the state accounts for nearly
36 per cent of the value of tim
ber cut from all national forests."
Holmes blamed "the admin
istration and its assistant secre
tary of agriculture, E. L. Peter
son, who have done nothing to
assure that current values are
considered ..."

Views on Spending
By LYLE C. WILSON

may be the
word for Pres
ident E i s e n
hower and his

i n e t officer.
Treasury Sec
retary George
Lyle c. Wilson H. Humphrey.
Political Washington was
somewhat shaken last week
when Treasury Boss Humphrey
publicly . expressed misgivings
about Mr. Eisenhower's new
budget. It is a big spending bud
get in the New Deal tradition, a
peacetime record breaker.
The President's inaugural ad
dress this week put in new light
Humphrey's protest against ad
ministration spending plans.
Humphrey evidently was protest
ing not merely against the spend
ing program for the next fiscal
year but against the basic policy
theme of the inaugural address.
Simple Theme
That theme was simply this:
The potentialities of modern war
are such that the United States
no longer dares count the cost
of "building a peace with justice
in a world where moral law pre
vails." Implicit in Mr. Eisenhower's
impressive sentences was the
promise of more big spending
over the years and high rates of
taxation. The key sentence in
the President's address was a
warning that war must now be
regarded as suicide. Literally
that.
"We have been warned," he
said, "by the power of modern
weapons, that peace may be the
only climate possible for human
life itself."
Humphrey must have been
aware last week of this forth
coming basic statement of long
range administration policy.
Aware or not, he told newsmen
assembled for briefing on the
budget that this "terrific" gov
ernment spending "should
promptly be stopped."
Warns of Depression
Humphrey coupled this with a
warning that taxes must be re
duced and, if they were not: "I
Cripps Granddaughter
Missing in Hungary
London (U.R) A grand
daughter of a former British
chancellor of the exchequer was
reported missing in Hungary to
day. The family of 19-year-old
Judy Cripps said she was due
to return last week end from
Budapest where she had gone
to do refugee work with three
college companions.
The girl is the granddaugh
ter of the late Sir Stafford
Cripps, who was chancellor of
the exchequer in the postwar
Labor government. Her father,
John Cripps, editor of the mag
azine "The Countryman," ask
ed the Foreign Office to make
inquiries.
Three Seek Dismissal
Of Vice Indictments
Portland (U.R) Three per
sons indicted by the summer
long grand Jury probe into al
leged vice in Portland started
new efforts yesterday to have an
indictment against them dis
missed. District Attorney William
Langley, along with Thomas E.
Maloney and Joseph P. Mc
Laughlin, both of Seattle, were
represented in court. The three
contend that they have "new ev
idence" that an indictment joint
ly charging them with conspiracy
to commit a felony was improp
erly drawn.
aatriiieeliaalefe
anywhere from a dozen or two
men to a couple of hundred on
each side. -
But behind the fighting is the
competition for oil, Russian in
trigue, and an attempt by Arab
nationalists to throw the British
out of their positions in the Ara
bian peninsula.
The peninsula does not look
very big on the map. But it cov
ers about 1.35 million square
miles nearly half the size of
the continental United States. "
Saudi Arabia occupies about
four-fifths of it. The remainder
includes Aden, Yemen and a tan
gle of "sheikdoms," some of
them with immensely rich oil re
sources under British protection.
Yemen made it known recent
ly that it had started to get arms
from Czechoslovakia through
the Soviet Russian government.
Britain accuses Saudi Arabia
of aiding the Yemen tribesmen
who are engaging in frontier
fighting.
There seems to be no doubt
predict that you will have a de
pression that will curl your
hair." Those are hard, if slangy,
words. They conflict directly,
fundamentally and actively with
what appears to be the funda
mentals of Mr. Eisenhower's
overall second term policy.
Humphrey generally has been
regarded as the strong man in
the cabinet. It is evident now
that other voices are more per
suasive than his. It is not likely
that the President Eisenhower
of four years ago or, even two
years ago, would have ignored
the budget recommendations of
his secretary of Treasury.
Climate Never Better
For Lobby Law Change
Washington (CO) The
climate never was better for
revision of the law regulating
lobbyists.
That forecast comes from two
Senators who have conducted ex
tensive studies of the lobby law
Chairman John L. McClellan
(D-Ark.) of the special Senate
committee investigating lobby
ing and John F. Kennedy, form
er chairman of the Senate sub
committee that handles lobby
legislation.
Chairman William L. Dawson
(D-Ill.) of the House Government
Operations Committee and its
subcommittee, that has jurisdic
tion over lobby bills, told Con
gressional Quarterly he knows
of no organized opposition to re
vising the law on the House side.
McClellan attributes the fa
vorable opposition to revising
the law on the House side.
McClellan attributes the fa
vorable climate for revision to
the storm that broke last year
when Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D.)
revealed he had been offered a
$2,500 campaign contribution by
an, oil company interested in
passage of the natural gas bill.
Case's disclosure led to the
formation of McClellan's special
committee. It was scheduled
originally to conclude its study
by Jan. 31, but has asked for
more time to hold additional
hearings before preparing its
recommendations.
Public!! Activities
Purpose of the 1946 lobby law,
passed without much fanfare as
part of the Legislative Reorgani
zation' Act, is not to restrict
lobbying but to put it in a gold
fish bowl. It requires "any per
son who shall engage himself for
consideration for the purpose of
attempting to influence the pass
age or defeat of any legislation"
to register his name, address,
how much money, he gets and
spends, who he works for and
what he's interested in with the
House and Senate.
Ten years of operating the
Act, according to most of those
who have studied it closely, has
revealed basic weakness. The
biggest one, says Kennedy, is
that nobody does anything with
the registration 'and spending
forms after they are filed with
Congress.
The forms sit in files in the
clerk's offices. No one is re
sponsible for making sure they
have been filled out properly
nor for telling an interested
party whether or not he should
register. The biggest revision to
be sought this year will be as
signing administering and en
forcing responsibilities to some
Congressional committee or'
agency.
No Withdrawal
A new law also must provide
for registrations to be with
drawn. As . things now stand,
once a person registers he is
permanently carried on the rolls
as a lobbyist. There is no pro
vision for him. to withdraw his
registration, or to renew it.
Other revisions will be aimed
at the regulations for reporting
spending and receipts of lobby
ists. The Act says everyone who
gets $10 or mora from a lobby
that both the Soviet government
and President Gamal Abdel Nas
ser of Egypt are stirring up the
tribesmen Russia in' pursuit of
its new campaign of penetration
in the Middle East and Nasser as
part of his general anti-British
campaign.
Sporadic fighting along the
Yemen -Aden border has been
due in the past to the fact that
the frontier never has been
firmly fixed.
But it increased in its signifi
cance because of the discovery
of undeveloped oil deposits in
the Yemen-Aden border region.
Enter Oil
This brings oil into the pic
ture. The United States and Brit
ain exploits most of the great oil
deposits on the Arabian penin
sula. Competition in the oil in
dustry is about as tough as that
in any industry in the world.
Oil men don't talk. But rivalry
for the newly discovered Yemen
Aden deposits is likely to play
its part in the situation as it de
velops in coming months and
years. "
Kink Saud of Saudi Arabia,
who has a lot of oil but wouldn't
mind having more, is likely to
take up the Yemen-Aden situa
tion with President Eisenhower
when he arrives in Washington
Jan. 30 for a state visit.
Yemen would like to take
over the entire British colony of
Aden, to which it claims it is en
titled. Britain has no intention
of giving up Aden. Aside from
possible oil developments, Aden
now has an important oil refin
ery. In addition it is of great
strategic importance as a naval
base. It lies at the southwest tip
of Arabia, where the Red sea
and the Arabian sea meet. It
thus commands the southern ap
proaches to the Suez canal.
With Russia, Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and the United States in
volved or potentially involved
in the Yemen-Aden situation, a
lot more is likely to be heard
of it.
ist must be listed by the lobbyist
on the spending form; the names
of persons contributing $500 or
more to the lobbyist also must
be included. Kennedy has tried
to raise the spending minimum
to $50 and lower the contribu
tion figure to $100. Currently,
organizations can evade listing
contributors by soliciting for
amounts just under $500.
Attempts to clarify the lan
guage in the Act also appear
certain. The law says the regu
lations apply to those whose
"principal purpose" is to influ
ence, directly or indirectly,
the passage or defeat of legisla
tion. The National association of
Manufacturers told the Justice
Department in 1947 that the Act
did not apply to the NAM be
cause its "principal purpose
was not to influence legislation.
The Justice Department dis
agreed; the result was a court
suit filed in 1948 by the NAM
to test the applicability and con
stitutionality of the law. A low
er court ruled key sections of
the Act unconstitutional, but
the Supreme Court in 1952 threw
out the decision on a technical
ity without ruling on the con
stitution question.
Found Constitutional
On June 7, 1954, the Supreme
Court in another case did de
clare the law constitutional. Ken
nedy and several others conclud
ed that the Court ruled oflt regu
lation of such indirect lobbying
as publishing pamphlets to mould
public opinion by defining lobby
ing in its decision as "direct
communication with Members of
Congress on pending or pro
posed federal legislation."
The challenge facing the law
makers is how to regulate lobby
ing without violating the First
Amendment to the Constitution
which" guarantees the right "to
petition the government for a
redress of grievances."
As a special House committee
in 1950 put it: "No attempt
should be made to prohibit pres
sure group activities. Congress

We Never Close
In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written. President
Eisenhower has just delivered
his second inaugural address.
The tone of it was set by his
pledge to dedicate his second
term to "building peace with
justice and thwarting interna
tional communism and the pow
er it controls."
He continued:
"The designs of that pow
er (International communism)
though dark in purpose, ara
clear in practice. It strives to
seal forever the fate of those
it has enslaved. It strives to
break the ties that united the
free. And it strives to capture
to exploit for its own great
power all forces of change In
the world."
THEN
1
Having identified interna
tional communism (headed by
Russia) as the dragon that must
be slain before mankind can live
in peace and freedom, he added,
his jaw jutting as he uttered the
words:
"AMERICA is called upon to
meet the price of peace. ... To
counter the threat of those who
seek to rule by force, we must
pay the costs of our own needed
military strength and HELP TO
BUILD THE SECURITY OF
OTHERS.
"Accordingly, our nation Is
pledged to honor, and to strive
to fortify, the authority of the
United Nations."
WHY is America committed to
" th taslr nf cavinff thp world
from the darkness and the
slavery of International commu
nism? The answer is simple:
Only America is strong
enough to do the job.
WHY should we do It?
Again the answer is sim
ple :j
America can't live as an Is
land of peace and happiness and
plenty in a world dominated by
the foul and heartless principles
ol international communism.
Although hs didn't use thosa
words. President Eisenhower
left no doubt that he believes
that to be a fact.
IN CLOSING, let's cite a brief
bit of communications history:
The first telegraphed news of
a Presidential inauguration was
sent in 1845 when a running ac
count of James Polk's swearing
in was transmitted from Wash
ington to Baltimore. The first
address to be recorded by mo
tion picture was William Mc
Kinley's in 1897. The first to
be carried by radio was Warren
Harding's in 1921. The first
transmitted by television " was
President Truman's in 1949.
PRESIDENT Elsenhower's in
augural address this morning
was HEARD AND SEEN BY
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD. There are times when
we can't help wondering wheth
er the fantastic completeness of
modern communications Is good
or bad.
In this case, it Is ALL GOOD
because our fabulous modern
communications system enables
a great man and a great leader
to appeal to all the world.
If all the good people in the
world can be appealed to, they
may be able to head off the
wicked machinations of the BAD
people.
