"fiddle", v MAIL TRIBUNE And Do According to information from Salem, the Jackson County delegation is getting more letters from their constituents favoring the SP's policy than opposing it. This is not surprising. As has been remarked in this department, one of the strongest lobbies at the state capital is the railroad lobby headed by the "billion dollar" Southern Pacific. The "big boys" don't deal in "mink coats" not much at; least. They do deal in a subtle type of blackmail. That is they contact their big shippers all the way from Eugene to the California line, and indicate very politely that certain bills are being introduced at Salem which would impair the present highly satis factory FREIGHT service of the ''Friendly S.P.," and suggesting they register opposition to such action. This WOULD be much appreciated solely in the sacred cause of courteous and efficient service, of course. Again, according to reports from Salem, the batting average in this area would make a monkey out of Mickey Mantle in fact, largely due to the shrewd selection of customers, the average is said to be not far from 100. However that may be State Legislators are only human of course, particularly the new and inex perienced ones. So they sort out their mail and decide the bills in question can't be in the public interest or so many highly respectable citizens would not oppose them and they or a majority of them, it is claimed vote accordingly. fELL, there is only one way to combat this sort of well-organized and high-powered pressure. That is for the rank-and-file who DON'T believe in the public-be-damned tactic to write to their representa tives and say so. They might also say they believe the Southern Pacific, as well as all other public utilities, owes a definite and inescapable obligation in the realm of adequate and decent public service. And for good measure they could add they believe Oregon might well follow the example of neighboring Cali fornia in this respect, giving clear and emphatic notice to the Southern Pacific that it is not going to determine what its duties to the people are, but the people are going to do that job through their proper and legal representatives. . THAT is all the railroad legislation in question amounts to. The measures are sponsored by State Senator Phil Lowry and Representative Al Littrell of Medford, the former having spent months of hard and unremunerative work before the session opened in preparing them. They should be passed. And now if the people as a whole who have no special ax to grind, but want the SP and all OTHER public utilities that shirk their plain public responsi bilities brought to. time will let the Jackson County delegation at Salem know by card or letter just how they feel, we are confident this CAN be done. But if they let "General Inertia" take command, and wait for "George" to do it, history will repeat itself, and this billion dollar "public-be-damned" corporation will have put over a fast one, AGAIN. As is true in this democracy and all others it is up to the people. Messrs. Lowry and Littrell have done their part and done it well. This is an appeal to the people of Jackson county to now do theirs. R.W.R. Why A Lieut-Governor? The Mail Tribune has favored the creation of a Lieutenant-Governor in Oregon whenever the matter has been proposed. But, as has been frequently noted, the Legislature has PROposed, but the people when they went to the polls have OPposed. Then why try again? That is a fair question: "WHY?" 'IX'ELL, as far as the Mail Tribune is concerned, for one principal reason, namely: because we be lieve such action would contribute to more efficient and satisfactory state government. THE long deadlock at Salem this year, costly in cash as well as legislative progress and senate harmony, would never have occurred if we had, as so many states have, what might be called a state "vice presi dent," to succeed the Governor in case of death or disability. One "of his duties would be to preside over the state senate. The tie-vote would then have been broken at once by the vote of the Lieutenant Governor, and business would have proceeded according to schedule. a M( OREOVER it is' fair Governor, having been the entire state, with gubernatorial qualities in mind, would be better qualified to act as chief executive of the state, than the president of the state senate, only having the endorsement of the voters in his district Moreover this would surely be more in accordance with the basic principle of democracy. a a a FINALLY, as the state has grown, the obligations, problems and duties of the Governor have grown, and the aid of a qualified assistant, to. take some of the load from the shoulders of the state executive for some years has been clearly indicated. So, as remarked, we are for the creation of the office of a Lieutenant-Governor, not because Gov ernor Holmes has advocated it but because we feel, as we have always felt, that such action would con tribute to better and more efficient administration of the affairs of this state.

Government economy pro grams, and in creased empha sis on nuclear warfare threat en to reduce NATO troop strength to the danger point. The entire fu ture of NATO Charles MeCann may be decided at a series of Al lied conferences which started in London today.. The talks will continue until May 2, when representatives of all 15 countries which belong to the Grand Alliance will meet in Bonn, the capital of Western Germany. Gen. Lauris Norstad, new commander-in-chief of NATO forces, is alarmed over the outlook. In the Day's News By FRANK Oregon's Governor Holmes took occasion the other day to. deliver some words oi wisdom on the subject of fairs state and county fairs in general and the Oregon state fair in partic ular. His comment was prompted by a bill, just introduced in the Oregon legislature, to put control of the Oregon state fair back under the state department of agriculture. "T have noted with regret and -dismay," he said, "that many fairs and particularly state fairs have taken on a carnival nature. Yet emphasis should be on ag ricultural production, on crops and on livestock, on mineral and wood resourcses and on the pro ducts derived from all of them." 'I am not against wholesome fun, and I approve of Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds and whips and other amusement de vices, but the fair belongs to trie people and specifically it be longs to those on whom we de pend for fodder and food and for the payrolls that derive from our great agricultural industry." pi PRINCIPLE, I quite agree with Governor Holmes. If the state of Oregon or any sover eign American state is - to use taxpayer money to promote fairs, the fairs it promotes should be expositions of the progress of the state's basic industries, such as agriculture, mining, man ufacturing and such. But There's a practical side to the subject. If expositions of a state's ag ricultural and social progress are to be worth what they cost, they must DRAW CROWDS TO SEE THEM. Otherwise, they will fall into the general category of hid ing your light under a bushel, kissing a pretty girl in the dark, and so on. Do you reckon in this modern age massive crowds could be assembled at the state capital or the county seat or the district center just to look at the biggest pumpkin or the reddest apple of the latest model of a saw mill? I wonder. npHERE was a time in our his tory when the county fair was hot stuff. All the papas and mamas, all the boys ' and girls and all the swains and sweet hearts looked forward to it from one year's end to another. It provided an excuse to knock off from the hard work that was then the rule and go to town and see the sights. The state fair was then a fabulous event that if you were lucky you attended once in ten years and talked about to the folks at home who hadn't been so lucky for the next nine years. When you went to the state fair back in those days, you were apt to load a camp outfit into the wagon and CAMP OUT in the grounds provided at the state capital for such affairs. - But even in those days, as I recall it, you didn't spend all your time looking at the biggest pumpkins and the reddest ap ples and the ripest watermelons and the fattest hogs. You rode on the merry-go-round and you watched the medicine shows and you listened to the barkers and (with your best girl looking on) you whanged the jiggers that measured your strength by bouncing the little marker high er up on the pole than anybody else could bounce it. AND- If memory serves me cor rectly You went in the afternoons to the EOSS RACES! TANDOR compels the admis-V-'sion that sometimes you made wagers on the outcome of the races. You justified this risk ing of your hard-earned cash by the reasoning that you were merely putting to the test your knowledge of the capabilities of good horseflesh in a contest in volving speed and endurance.) DO, GOVERNOR, I'm afraid you're indulging in wishful thinking when you flirt with the idea that the Oregon state fair Any significant reduction in troop strength could have most serious consequences for all of us," Norstad warned in a speech last week. But it seems pretty sure that the reduction is coming. Harold Macmillan, Britain's new prime minister, started the ball rolling soon after he as sumed office on Jan. 10. He named Duncan Sandys his de fense minister, and gave him the authority to carry out a drastic economy program. As part of the program, it was made known that Britain intends to cut the strength of its forces on the European con tinent, assigned to NATO, from 80,000 men to about 50,000. It is now reported that Brit ain may pull back to its own territory part of its NATO tac tical air force. French Finance Minister Paul Ramadier announced last Thurs day that France faces a financial crisis and must cut its defense budget. JENKINS could be made a rousing success WITHOUT the carnivals and the hokytonks and the hoopla and the hoss recing. Human nature is still human nature in Oregon and else where.

Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words Nasser, The Big Bully To the Editor: The hi-jinks be ing pulled off in the middle-east lands and United Nations bring to memory the same at the Old Brick School in Michigan. The pupils ranged from we little ones to adult size boys and girls, some 50 to 75 of us, depending on the time of year. Teachers had been "run out" one winter fast as the school-directors hired them, till they finally presuaded fiery, black-eyed Leslie Hoffman to take over. Certain hulking "big- boys grinned gleefully when they sized up this rather small sized man. But what a rude awakening. Seems like it was only the second or third day when Teach er Hoffman came down from the back row with John Springett's coat collar twisted in his fist. He gurgled out, "teacher-teacher " as he was dragged down over the very tops of the old split-board black-walnut desks we small fry crouched under in terror. Kick ing John's feet from under him and slammed to the floor a couple times up front by the old cast-iron box stove, he was kicked in the seat-of-the-pants back up the isle with the warn ing, "if I catch you chewing tobacco and spitting down that floor knot-hole again, you'll get a lot worse than this." You see, the preceding teach ers had whaled us small ones, hoping the bigger ones would take warning. We had a fine school that winter, no bullying of small fry and all doing right well with the three Rs and go graphy." In the middle-east we see little Israel refusing to quit that Gaza strip and Aqaba Harbor till there is some guarantee that big bully Egypt will not restart her border depredations. "Tuff teachers" Britain, France and Israel proceeded a short while back to topple swell-head Nasser and get someone there who would play fair. But "school directors" U.S-A. and others sided in with big big bully Russia and forced Britain-France-Israel to back down. Now top-dog Nasser is making a shameful shambles of the mid east school-room doings. With Uncle (Sugar) Sam pungling up the first $20,000,000 to clear the big ditch, Nasser lets them pro ceed till only his small cargo ships can get through, then he closes down the wreck (what he ordered) clearing. A pretty kettle of fish, what? F. J. Clifford 1211 West Main, Medford, Ore. Israel it The Goat To the Editor: "Ike's Position Angers Israel." This was Thursday night's headline, Feb. 21, and it's enough to anger anyone. Israel has been plagued by the Egyptians for years and now when she has herself in a good defensive position to protect, the President tells her to withdraw. The President states if the U.N. does nothing about Israel's with drawal, then it will have to ad mit failure. As I see it, it is a failure! Everyone knows the torture and murder that Hungary had thrust upon her, with no help whatsoever, from the U. N. or otherwise. But then there is no big American oil interest in Central Europe. Israel has to be the goat again so it seems. Same old story, the big get bigger and the small smaller. A. C. Roberts Jacksonville, Ore. France, West Germany and the United States all oppose the pro posed British troop cut. But France already has slashed its NATO troop contri-' bution by sending its men to Algeria to fight the rebels. West Germany's rearmament is proceeding slowly, and its draft term for the new army has been reduced from 18 months to 12. There also are indications that West German Defense Minister Franz-Josef Strauss aims at re ducing the total strength of the German defense forces, from 500,000 men to 300,000. Six Countries Talk Defense - The opening defense confer ence in London today is being attended by delegates of Britain, France, West Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Lux embourg. Allied defense problems win be one topic for discussion in the conference which started in Washington today between Pres ident Eisenhower and French Premier Guy Mollet. Defense will play a big part also in the talks when the President and British Prime Minister Macmil lan meet in Bermuda March 21. There will be similar talks among Allied leaders in West European capitals as the occa sion arises, leading up to the big NATO conference in May. In defending reduction in de fense spending. Allied leaders talk of increasing firepower, with the aid of atomic tactical weap ons, instead of depending upon mere manpower. The trouble is that Soviet Rus sia, which the NATO forces face in Western Europe, has both fire power and manpower which could rip through weakened Al lied lines if war came. Matter of Fact Sticks and Carrots ' Washington On the surface. the current phase of the Middle Eastern crisis appears to be a contest of wills between two men Israel's David Ben- Gur- ion and Pres ide n t Eisen hower. But the key role is be ing played by another man Egypt's Pre sident Gamal Abdel Nasser. Foreign pol icy is the art stewait aisop of infl uenc ing other nations to your own ends. Other nations can be in fluenced by judicious use of the carrot of reward and the stick of punishment. Before Secretary of State Dulles suddenly with drew the Aswan Dam aid offer, thus precipitating the Suez Can al seizure, we had a carrot to of fer Nasser but we have none now. Before the British, French and Israelis invaded Egypt the West ern powers had a stick t h e threat of force. The West would still have a stick, if Britain and France had not bowed to in tense American pressure, halted their advance, and withdrawn without any commitment of any sort from Nasser. But we do not have a stick now, to use against Nasser. - , SO NOW, most astutely, Nasser, is usine the carrot-and-stick technique on the United States, instead of the other way round. In conversations with American Ambassador Raymond Hare and other Western emissaries, Nas ser has been making sweetly rea sonable sounds. He has, for ex ample, more than hinted that he would be willing to settle the canal issue by turning over canal tolls to the World Bank, to be split on a 50-50 basis a very reasonable proposal. He has indicated that he would agree to the placing of a United Nations force in the Gaza Strip. And he has even hinted al though far more obliquely that he would graciously permit Isra eli ships 'free passage both through the canal and through the Strait of Tiran to Aqaba, once the Israelis had withdrawn. All this amounts to a large, juicy, and tempting 1 carrot. But Nasser also wields his stick. There is no longer any doubt that Nasser is delaying the re opening of the canal, on various rather transparent pretexts. The canal, he has indicated, will stay closed until the Israelis pull out of the Gaza Strip and Aqaba. And he is perfectly aware that he can now go very far in us ing the canal for purposes of political blackmail, without fear of the stick of force being used against him. "ASSER'S carrot 'and stick ex plain in' part why President Eisenhower has taken a far stronger line with Israel than anyone had expected. The Pres ident has taken big risks. His position is opposed by our Allies, by very friendly countries like Canada and Australia, and by the entire Congressional leader ship. The President thus finds himself isolated as he has never been before. Yet the carrot Nasser is offer ing must seem worth big risks. For Nasser is offering or seems to be offering at least a begin ning toward a real Middle East ern settlement, provided only that the Israelis withdraw, as the , British and French with drew, without conditions. State Department's Press Officer's Job Said Important Post BY ROSCOE DRUMMOND , Washington The quality of I the man whom Secretary Dulles will soon appoint to fill the now vacant post Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs is tremendously important. The work of this ottice is tar more than a convienient service to the press. It is vital to the effective functioning of the whole department because a Secretary of State today , can accomplish little without pub lic understanding and support. There are two prime qualifica tions for this job from which Carl W. McCardle, formerly Washington bureau chief of "The Philadelphia Bulletin," has just resigned to enter private busi ness after four years of public service: A public affairs chief must have the full confidence and backing of the Secretary. . He must have sufficient sta ture and independence of char acter so' that he doesn't feel he is risking his future when he has to cross an important Foreign Service officer in the depart ment. Carl McCradle has had these qualifications to a high degree. The department will be the weaker if his successor does not possess them. . If the new Assistant Secretary, as has been hinted, is to be Andrew H. Berding, now an as sistant director of the United States Information Agency and former Washington and foreign correspondent for the Associated Press, then the outlook is good. F WOULD be ridiculous to say that Mr. McCardle has never By Stewart Alscp Anxious to seize the Nasser carrot, the Eisenhower adminis tration has in its turn been us ing the carrot-and-stick tech nique on Israel. The carrot took the form of the Dulles offer to try to safeguard Israel's interests in the Strait of Tiran and Gaza Strip. When Ben-Gurion refused the carrot, the Administration turned to the stick," warning of possible sanctions. PEN-GURION refused the Eis- -- enhower carrot because all Israelis are convinced the Nasser carrot is a fake. To withdraw Israel's forces from Gaza and Aqaba without firm, public guar anties would be, in Israel's eyes, to return to the situation as it existed before. And Israel in vaded Egypt in the first place because, in Israel's eyes, that situation was intolerable. It may be that the Israelis are wrong, and the Nasser carrot is the genuine article. It may be that Nasser, whose internal pol itical and economic situation is shaky, really does want at least a breathing space. It may be, as Administration spokesmen con tend, that only Israel's intran sigence is preventing a real start toward a Middle East setUement. Yet Israel's skepticism is ' at least understandable. Nasser, after all, has publicly dedicated himself ini the past both to the destruction of Israel and to the elmination of all Western in terests in the Middle East. It is largely a result of American policy hat Nasser has emerged from defeat as the key man in the Middle East, able to threaten punishment and offer rewards to the great powers of the West. Surely this elevation of Nasser is hardly a triumph of diplo macy, whatever the outcome of the current crisis. 1957. New York Herald Tribune Inc.

New laxative discovery un-locks bowel blocks without gag, bloat or gripe Constipation is caused by what doc tors 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 from 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-a-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 stubbed his toe or had it stubbed for him when he was loyally covering up for somebody else. But in all the matters which count most from the standpoint of communication to the public and the press, Mr. McCardle has wrought a considerable revolu tion within the department. 1 There are still some officials who are shaking their heads after giving up their resistance. Here are some of the things he has accomplished: Because of his close relations with Mr. Dulles, Mr. McCardle didn't have to work on the fringes of policy formulation, as has usually been the case in the post. He was always in the center of policy formation and this was invaluable to his effective func tioning. He opened up the whole State Department to the press and to the public as never before. Sec retary Dulles has held 81 full- length, full-questioning press conferences. Other officials in the' department have totaled about 275 press conferences yearly. This in addition to num erous background briefing ses sions. The Secretary's press con ferences now are for direct quot ation and are televised. HE full documents of interna tional conferences are being promptly published. The record of the meeting of tne Big tour Foreign Ministers in Geneva, for example, was published in eight days; it has usually taken eight months to eight years. Some department officials used to make themselves un available to those they deemed "unfriendly" c o r r espondents. Mr. McCardle put an end to that. With notable success he fought the battle for full disclosure apart from security and pend ing negotiations. His argument wasn't that this should be done as a "favor to the press" but as the right of the public to know and in the interests of a foreign policy which can rarely be stronger than its public accept ance. ANYBODY who knows Mr. Mc Cardle's u n d e rstanding of the role of a free press would know, without being told, that he opposed the State Depart ment's untenable decision to use the rights of the press as an in strum'ent of negotiation with Red China. The department would not be in the box it made for itself if Mr. McCardle's view had been allowed to prevail. President Eisenhower and Sec retary Dulles have taken the position that American news papers should not be free to re port the news from Communist China at first-hand as long as the Communists hold the re maining ten American behind the Bamboo Curtain. Now Red China has indicated that it would release these prisoners if Amer ican reporters were allowed to travel to China and the Depart ment can't accept this offer with out appearing to barter what isn't barterable the freedom of Americans who have committed no crimes. Mr. McCardle's influence has almost invariably been on the right side. 1957, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Mr. Insurance mo BRENNAN Phone 2-4940 NOW WE KNOW!
