H? said his main desire was

pracre here.
It Happened
We've been waiting for quite a while, but it finally
happened.
Mrs. Betty Hoskins, our Jacksonville correspond
ent, did it.
If you didn't happen to read the first paragraph
in her dispatch from our neighbor community last
Wednesday, we recommend it to you, as follows:
The last few sunny days has made us think that spring
Is just around the corner. In this area residents are busy
pondering over seed catalogues and mail order "wish" books
and out poking in the soggy ground looking for the first
daffodil and crocus leaf shoots. At least two early cases
of spring fever have been reported.
a
THIS is the kind of news that makes us forget
temporarily, that state and federal income taxes
are coming due soon; that spring "officially" won't
be here for another five weeks yet; that a lot more
rain (and just possibly some more snow) will be fall
ing; that the world, the nation and the state are in
one sort of turmoil or another.
Seed catalogs, daffodils, crocuses! Golly, just
reading about it is enough to give US spring fever.
We get infected easily, anyway. E.A.
Legislative This and That
At latest report, the Oregon legislature had be
fore it for consideration a total of 640 bills, plus a
liberal scattering of resolutions, joint resolutions, con
current resolutions and memorials on probably a cou
ple of hundred or more different subjects.
No one person can keep any sort of check on this
vast accumulation of words (some important, some
nonsensicial, some vicious) and expect to do anything
else.
But in leafing through the bills as they have come
over the desk, we have picked out a few for brief com
ment. ff
"NE calls for printing the slogan, "Scenic Wonder-
land," plus a fir tree, on our automobile license
plates.
A few other states have slogans on their plates,
and we've always thought they were a bit absurd and
of little value. The slogan would tend to clutter up
the license, making identification more difficult, and
the fir tree (which looks better in the forest than on
a license plate anyway) would aggravate this.
Another provision in the same bill (and also in a
different bill) would call for the plate to be made of
reflecting material so as to be readable at night. This
might be advantageous. But let's do our advertising
where it belongs not in our license plates.
A HOUSE measure would permit the game commis
sion to issue non-resident fishing license at the
rate of $1 a day. This has the advantage of letting a
visitor "tailor" his fishing to a brief vacation, without
spending five bucks for a seven-day license.
As such, it seems to be a step in the right direction,
although we'd still like to see some reciprocity be
tween neighboring states (perhaps using a non-resident
stamp on a valid license from another state) in
the matter of fishing licenses.
THE Highway commission now has jurisdiction over
Oregon's beaches, which are legally classed as
highways. It has asked to be relieved of that respon
sibility, with the beaches transf erred to the state land
board.
The beach "highway" designation was obtained
during the administration of Gov. Oswald West (who
belatedly was honored for his far-sightedness last year
by having a state park named after him). Thus Ore
gon, unlike many other sea-coast states, has beaches
which are public property.
Transferring them to the land board would not
harm this public ownership status. But with the land
board's sorry history of land administration in the
past, and its authority to dispose of lands, this could
be the first step in losing the beaches.
For this reason we think it should be strongly op
posed. TWO bills seek to regulate the clays of the week
during which business can be conducted. One
would close up all banks on Saturday. The other
would close up automobile dealers on Sunday.
Now, just what business is it of the legislature
when people do business? And if it can limit the days
that banks and auto salesmen can work, why couldn't
it ban clothing sales on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, or restaurant operation on Tuesday and
Thursday?
The crux of the problem has been approached,
correctly, through wage and hour legislation. But
these two attempts do not originate out of any high
minded desire to protect employees. They seek to
limit competition.
It should not be the business of the legislature to
tell anyone what he can't do on any day.
A SENATE bill would authorize the highway com
mission to acquire and operate state parks in
areas other than those "adjacent to" or "in close prox
imity to" state highways.
This we favor, for some of the most suitable loca
tions for present or future state parks are not now on
or near state highways. (In Jackson county, one such
is the area on what will be the shore of Howard
Prairie lake, to be created in the next year or so when
the Talent project is a little further along.)
If we are to have a state park system worthy of
the name, this limitation should be erased. The system
now is a good one, as far as it goes, but with greater
population and increased tourist trade, it will need
expansion.

Conflict of

United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Conflict
of interest is the term used by
congressional investigators to
challenge government officials
who maintain

The latest in

though denying any violation of
conflict of interest laws, gave
up his post in the midst of a
Senate inquiry into his relations
with a Ross family firm which
holds several millions of dollars
worth of defense contracts. Ross
said he was resigning because it
would be "unfair" to the Defense
Department to stay on in view
of what he called "derogatory
implications."
When a government official
maintains an outside business
connection which could be fa

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
If you are an average Ameri
can, you probably ask yourself
this question:
"What's this Middle East
ruckus all about? Why are WE
mixing up in it?"
IT'S an old story too long to
go into in any detail here. The
simple fact of the matter is
that ever since trade and com
merce began what we call the
Middle East has been the most
strategic spot on earth.
If you will get out your globe
and do a little studying, the
strategic importance of this Mid
dle East area will become appar
ent to you in a few minutes. This
is what your globe will show
you:
ALL THE TRADE ROUTES
OF THE OLD WORLD CROSS
THERE. ,
k
rpHAT is to say: '
Whoever controls this stra
tegic spot can throw the world
into a tizzy in a matter of hours.
A large part of the Old World's
history has revolved around that
fundamental fact.
That also is tgo long a story
to go into here. To prove the
point, we need only to cite the
latest instance when a two-bit
tyrant by the name of Nasser
stood the world on its ear by
seizing the Suez canal.
That tells the tale.
TN the big years of the British
- Empire, Britain ruled the
world by -the simple expedient
of seizing the STRATEGIC
POINTS.
One of these strategic points
was the Isthmus of Suez, which
later was cut by the Suez canal,
which made possible the passage
of SHIPS from the Far East to
the Atlantic. Another strategic
point was the Strait of Singa
pore. A minor but still very im
portant strategic point was the
Strait of Gibraltar.
Controlling ALL of these,
Britain could tell the rest of the
world where to get off and
quite frequently did. Your globe
will tell you how all this came
about.
A T this point, we must cite a
little more history.
Ever since Russia emerged
from barbarism and became a
world power, she has coveted
this strategic Middle East area.
Rivers of blood have been shed
to keep her from getting it.
Again all this is too long to
be gone into here. But your his
tory books will confirm the
story if you will take the time
to dig it out.
WHY have rivers of blood
" shed to keep Russia out of
the strategic Middle East?
This is the answer:
Throughout the centuries, the
rest of the world has felt that
Russia was NO FIT GUARDIAN
FOR THIS STRATEGIC AREA
which is now more strategic
than ever before because of the
vast oil fields that have been
discovered there.
The world still has the feel
ing that Russia is no fit guardian
of this key gateway of the world.
That's the story in a nutshell.
"THE only legislative bills which can become law
immediately are those which cany the so-called
"emergency clause." This read, "This Act being neces
sary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to
exist, and this Act shall take effect upon its passage."
It's a handy device, used sometimes to prevent the
bill from being referred to a vote of the people. But if
every "emergency" declared in a bill actually threat
ened the public peace, health and safety, we'd be in
a pretty pickle. E.A.
Interest Charges
matter of astonishment that some
bedevilled official in the wit
ness chair has not long since
sought to turn the conflict of in
terest searchlight on his con
gressional investigators.
Consider the lawyers, for ex
ample. Lawyers far outnumber
members of other professions in
Congress.
How much conflict of interest
would there be in the situation
of a senator or congressman
whose law firm had substantial
corporate patronage and who
had to cast his vote on a ques
tion which directly would effect
the profits of one or more cor
porate clients?
That is a fair question but not
one likely to be asked soon or
often. It last was asked some 20
or 25 years ago when the late
Sen. Huey Pierce (The Kingfish)
Long was rampaging through the
tag end of a purple career to be
ended by an assassin's bullet.
Long was undisputed boss of
Louisiana with an overlay of in-
fluence in adjoining states, not-
ably Mississippi and Arkansas,

He Is Getting Tired
To the Editor: I'm getting a
little tired of reading the letters
of complaint appearing in your
columns over the decision of the
Highway Department to use the
Bear Creek route for the Med
ford "by-pass."
Let me say first that I agree
in principle that a route which
avoided passing through the city
would be preferable and more in
keeping with the by-pass theory.
Several public hearings were
held, however, on the three or
iginally proposed routes, and
as a result of dissatisfaction ex
pressed two additional proposed
routes were surveyed and more
hearings held. Presumably, there
was ample opportunity for every
point of view to be heard.
As I understand it, the ex
treme eastern route was ruled
out as entailing engineering
difficulties and considerable ex
tra expense. The Hillcrest and
West routes were ruled out be
cause of destruction of valuable
orchard property. And the Bear
Creek route was chosen over the
Genessee because there was less
private property to be acquired.
The complaints seem to be of
three kinds: from people whose
residential property must be sac
rificed, from those who think
that Hawthorne Park will be
"ruined," and from those who
object to bisection of the city.
I sympathize, but I must point
out that other Oregonians and
Jackson County residents have
a stake in this problem also. For
we are all ' sharing the 'expense
of extra hearings and extra sur
veys, and the orchards that some
people are so glad to throw
away are part of a $15 million
contribution to the County's
economy each year.
Perhaps a little grumbling is
permissible, but a decision has
been made by those we employ
as experts and with the desires
of those most intimately con
cerned adequately considered.
Shouldn't we accept it?

of that?
How About the Children?
To the Editor: May I ask you
to write an editorial entitled,
"Children vs. Cars" or "The
Children Be Eliminated."
Since the very thrifty Oregon
State Highway Commission have
decided to destroy Hawthorne
Park it seems to-me such an edi
torial would be quite fitting for
the decision they have made. In
your editorial please suggest that
the Commission make a tour of
all backyards (if they have a
back yard) of homes where chil
dren may play, and make a list
of the toys they have. The list
should include all old beer cans,
broken beer bottles, empty cig
arette packs, cigarette and cigar
stubs, garbage cans, scraps of
wrecked cars and other refuse.
The commission should be re
quested firmly to remove shoes
and sox, and all other cumber-

It was characteristic of Long
that he soon fell out with the
Democratic leadership from
FDR down when he came to
the Senate. Senate Democratic
Leader Joe T. Robinson was
Long's whipping boy for the
entire New Deal administration.
The Kingfish shocked the Senate
and jolted Robinson one day by
reading into the record the name
of Robinson's Arkansas law firm
and list of its big clients.
Long could not accuse Robin
son of misdeeds or of putting
private interest above the public
interest, but the Kingfish bel
lowed that the temptation was
there. And he could quote the
Bible by the yard on the hazards
of temptation.
Conflict of interest was what
Long was talking about. It is
your correspondent's recollec
tion that Robinson immediately
resigned his law firm connec-
' tion, not as an acknowledge-
ment of wrong-doing or, even, of
a conflict of interest, but simply
to get the Kingfish off his back.

Just a Rusty Gold Pan
To the Editor: Why so many
early day gold mining adven
tures and exploits of interest
have been lost to posterity, is for
lack of recorded notes made or
left for later generations. From
the early discoveries made
around 1852, another generation
followed up in the eighteen sev
enties and again in the eighteen
ninties.
One of the almost forgotten
stories told was the prospectors
who packed over Wagner Gap
and down "Seven Mile Ridge"
on the north slopes of Little Ap-
plegate in the seventies, where
they found and worked a very
rich surface deposit. In later
years an Ashland man made a
hasty search, but all his efforts
paid him,, was finding an old
rusty gold pan and remains of a
pick on the bank of a small dry
gulch. So, the story is left only
to our imagination.

The week's good and bad

and United

in general.

IN POPOV'S ROOM
Koustenay In this metropo
lis of the new Soviet frontier in
western Siberia, the presumed
sanctum sanc
torum is the
office of the
First Secre
tary of the
Comm u n i s t
Party Com
mittee, C o m
rade L a z a r
Ivanovich Po
pov. It looks, too,
Joseph Alsop
as a sanctum sanctorum ought to
look. By Koustenay standards,
which are appropriately the
standards of - Tombstone, Ari
zona,, circa 1880, it is a large
and handsome room. The ikons
of the holy men of Communism
are also large and handsome.
And so is the desk at which Com
rade Popov receives his callers
with an expression of stern, un
bending purpose.
I went to call on Comrade
Popov in order to ask a question
that seemed to me centrally im
portant. But it is perhaps better
to begin by introducing Com
rade Popov and his two col
leagues, Second Party Secretary
Yefim Andreievich Marosov and
Third Party Secretary Alek
sandr Vassilievich Shilov.
THEY are all middle-aged men.
Thev all startpH thpir rarosrt
in rather humble ways Com
rade Popov was a primary
school teacher, for instance. But
all three "took up full time par
ty work a long time ago," as
they put it. All have followed
this specialized career since at
least 1940, and none has had any
higher technical training beyond
that offered In the party schools.
These, then, were the trio to
whom I put my question. I had
been greatly impressed by the
boldness, size and apparent suc
cess of the huge Soviet indus
trial and agricultural enter
prises which have been shown
me in the course of this Siberian
journey. I had been equally im
pressed by the caliber of the
leaders of these enterprises.
Such men are, of course, mem
bers of the Communist party.
But equally, of course, having
huge jobs of their own to do,
they do not function primarily
as Communists any more than
the chairman of U. S. Steel func
tions primarily as a Republican
or Walter Reuther functions pri'
marily as a Democrat.
m m m
IirHAT then was the role of the
" Party itself in these enor
mous and technically complex
enterprises? Where exactly did
Comrades Popov, Marosov and
Shilov fit into the grandiose and
dramatic pattern of western Si
beria's agricultural and Indus'
trial development?
"There the role of the Party,"
replied Comrade Popov, with a
powerful didactic scowl, "is the
36 times with 40x82 and 45x90
caliber Winchester rifles. They
were closing in on him. He was
headed toward a young man and
his pardner, 18 years of age. The
bear turned his head to look at
the other men, and was shot
directly in the ear with a 45.90
slug. In 1893 my aunt, Josie
Hurd, told me, "Reel Foot" was
at Corvallis, Ore., stuffed and
well preserved. Her husband was
a teacher there at the agricul
tural college. The bear weighed
1.800 pounds, was 48 inches
high, his forehead was 18 inches
across.

an arms embargo to middle east

The Soviet proposal was
simply a calculated attack on
allied defense policies in the
Middle East ' and especially
against the Eisenhower Doctrine,
under which American forces
would be used if necessary to

CONSTIPATED?.
Hew laxative discovery un locks bowel blocks0
without gag, bloat or gripe
Constipation is caused by what doc
tort call a "thrifty" colon that, instead
of retaining moisture as it should,
does the opposite: robs the colon of
so much moisture that its contents
become dehydrated, so dry that they
block the' bowel; so shrunken that
they fail to excite or stimulate the
. urge to purge that propels and expels
waste fiom your body.
To regain normal regularity, the dry,'
shrunken, constipating contents of
your colon which now block your
bowel must be remoistened. Second,
bulk must be brought to your colon
tO S-T--E-T-C-H STIMULATE it tO
action; to a normal urge to purge.
And, of all laxatives, only Colonaid,
the amazing new laxative discovery
possesses Colonaid's great moisturiz
role of leadership. For example,
the colossal spaces of our steppes
lay waste for centuries, but now
they are being plowed. For thii
purpose, it is necessary among
other things to win tlte struggle
to keep moisture in the soil.
This is the successful offensive
against nature, in which the par
ty leads."
In the beginning was the par
ty. Comrade Popov and hii col
leagues jointly explained. The
party and its junior branch, the
Comsomols, had the opening
task of organizing the move
ment of the people to work on
the new lands and in the new
industries. "Once again," said
Comrade Shilov, pride shining
through his spectacles, "the role
of the party and its members
was the role of leadership in ac
complishing this great task. The
leading role was immense."
"Initially it is not easy," add
ed Comrade Popov, "because we
must create from nothing every
thing, from housing for the peo
ple who come, to needed cultural
facilities. Yet it can be easily
understood why our people go
to such distant places. It is be
cause of the care of the Cogimu
nist party for the people."
BUT more specifically, I asked,
in a tone somewhat subdued
by the flow of eloquence around
me, what was the party's role in
the actual management of the
largest single local enterprise,
the great new Sokolovsky
mines? Do party officials like
my kind hosts debate the com-,
plex questions of open-dhst min
ing on a titantic scale with the
formidably capable mine man
ager, who is one of the two or
three leading Soviet technicians
in this field?
"The mine manager," replied
Comrade Popov, "is a member
of the collective. In this respect,
our strength lies in working as
one collective body. The collec
tive effort of our people, . in
which the leading role i played
by the Communist party, is the
real force that permits us to
cope with our great tasks. Peo
ple can solve any problems if
they are well led.
"Therefore the Communist
party never loses its close con
nection with the masses. Party
members equally work together
in such industrial enterprises as
you have mentioned. So they
help all people to solve prob
lems, and so the rule is followed
that the decisions taken by the
collective body of the people
must be fulfilled by ll means."
On these lines, with the waves
of eloquence rising nd falling
in majestic tides, the conversa
tion continued for nearly two
hours. But such, in general, were
the answers I received to one of
the fundamental questions of
Soviet society in its present
stage of development.
