MAIL TRIBUNE The Flood Threat Jupiter Pluvius has been liberal with his offerings this past week. The snowpack has piled up in the high?r mountains. Lower down, the rainfall has been greater than normal, Some creeks which drain sma' risen out of their banks briefly, then fallen back as the rain let up. The Rogue "flood stage, rising enough to cover a few low lying fields, then dropping. For the past few days Bear Creek has looked the way a respectable creek should, rather than as a discouraged rivulet creeping over and around slime-encrusted rocks. But there has been no "flood" as such, for which thanks be. And the seeing-eye weather-dogs at the meteorological station don't see any immediate indi cations of flooding conditions although they're always careful to hedge their predictions. e e THIS country is built to absorb a lot of moisture, and under most circumstances it does so, storing it up in the form of ground water, snow and forest floor seepage for the gradual seasonal runoff. The recent wet weather has come as a series of heavy showers, not as steady, persistent and drench ing downpours as was the case in late December of 1955, when the Rogue staged one of its worst rampages in recent history. As long as the weather follows this pattern, the meteorologists say, the runoff will carry off the ex cess water before the next shower raises them again. The rainfall this week has been beneficial. And as long as it continues to be intermittent, we needn't fear major flooding. "THIS does not mean, by any means, that we can count on having no more floods. In fact, they have seemingly become more frequent in recent years possibly because of the steady cutting of timber. Forests serve to retain moisture ; cut-over hills let it run off quickly. But this is only a contributing factor. The wea ther remains the key to floods. When conditions are just so with soils wet, a and heavy rainfall there There will be, at least, together sufficiently to reconcile its differences over river development, agree on a plan to limit floods, and see that it is put into effect. E.A. The "Feel" of Spring We recorded here the other day the fact that a couple of cases of spring fever were reported in Jacksonville during the sunny days there recently. Well, the signs of approaching spring are all over the place these days. We welcomed with delight this week the covey of quail which marches through the back yard night and morning during the spring and fall months. Buds are out on the rambler rose which climbs the garage wall. The grass i3 beginning to recover from its winter time brown, and put on its brilliant green. THE black and white puppy romps tirelessly these days, and is occasionally stricken with wander lust. One recent morning, after a heavy shower, the hills across the valley showea up clear in the pure all- unsullied by the usual pall of hovering haze and mill-smoke. The other day we spotted a flock of sheep, liber ally scattered with tiny, shambling, awkward, black faced lambs. Perhaps the surest sign, however, is the rain. Even when the downpour is strong and steady, it has the smell of freshness. And when it is soft and gentle and misty, it has the veritable, quickening, and inde finable "feel" of spring. E.A. '. Rogue Valley Manor Rogue Valley Manor, Medford's proposed retire ment home, after months and months of planning, finally is in a position to start contracting for space in the beautiful new building, construction on which is scheduled to start late this summer. . . Attractive, four-color brochures telling the details of the manor and of the occupancy plan which goes with it, have been printed and are now being dis tributed. The structure to be built on top of Barneburg hill in the recently-annexed southwest Medford area at a cost of some $5,000,000 will be a credit to the community. It will be the second retirement manor in the state. The first is lamette View Manor near Portland. THE retirement manor is something which we be lieve will be an increasingly familiar thing on the American scene, for the tion is increasing, buch a retirement facility will ap peal to many thousands of people who have the re serves and the modest income necessary to obtain residence. Rogue Valley Manor, while not sponsored by any denomination, has on its board of trustees min isters .of three churches. THE Salem Capital Journal, in commenting on the recent news release about the manor, said : "Medford has set an example that other strategically sit uated cities, especially Salem, as the state capital, should follow. It is badly needed for as life expectancy is increas ing generally, its necessity also increases. It is a much-needed project for community cooperation and a major one for the Chamber of Commerce and our churches to initiate for those entitled to comfort, enjoyment and security in their 'golden age'."

McCANN United Press Correspondent Generalissimo Francisco Fran co appears to have moved an other step toward restoring the Bourbon mon archy in Spain. He seems also to have moved a step toward giving some of the sweeping pow er he has held for more than 20 years. Charles mcCsjus , These de velopments seem indicated by Franco's drastic reshuffling of his cabinet, the first since July, 1951. The representaUon of men who favor the restoration of the mon archy is a little stronger in the new cabinet. And Franco has provided for the appointment of a prime min ister at some future time. There is every indication, how ever, that Franco, now 64, in tends to stay in office for the forseeable future. Franco is now his country's "caudillo"-leader-of the empire, chief of the state, commander in chief of the armed forces, prime minister and head of the falange political party. Dictator Sine 1938 He has wielded dictatorial power ever since he was named chief of state on Oct. 1, 1936, two .months after the outbreak of the civil war, as leader of the nationalist rebellion against the leftist-tinged Republican govern ment. King Alfonso XIII had been, overthrown in 1931 when the Republicans won an overwhelm ing victory in a national elec tion. Alfonso died in Rome in 1941. The civil war ended in 1939. Franco remained head man. On March 31, 1947, he announced that Spain was to become a mon archy again. He appointed a reg ency council which, in the event of his own incapacitation or death, would name a king. Nominally, the heir to the throne would be Alfonso's son, Don Juan, who lives in exile in Portugal, Spain's next - door neighbor on the Iberian Penin sula. But Franco has been groom ing Juan's son, Don Juan Carlos, for the throne. Franco and Don Juan met in 1954. They agreed that Juan Car los, now 19, should go to Spain to complete his education an education pointed toward his eventual assumption -of the throne. Gets Military Training Juan Carlos is studying now at the Zaragoza Military Acad emy. He is being coached by sDecial tutors in problems of In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS What of the Middle East? Senate Leader Lyndon John son, an able and patriotic Dem crat. says this morning after a talk with Secretary Dulles that it looks like the United States and Israel are moving closer to agreement on how to get Israeli troops out. of territory they oc cupied when Israel went on the warpath last fall. Senator Johnson adds: "The big question is whether Egypt will go along." WHAT of Egypt? ' As to that, an important meeting is on in Cairo this morn ing. It includes four Arab chiefs of state President Kuwatly of Syria, King Hussein of Jordan, Nasser of Egypt and King Saud of Saudi Arabia. King Saud is briefing Nasser and the rulers of Syria and Jordan on his recent talks with President Eisenhower. What he is saying to them hasn't been disclosed, but he has indicated previously that he thinks. Presi dent Eisenhower's Middle East policy is not unfair. flHIS is the point: -1- Nasser is the Arab trouble maker in the Middle East. He can't get where he wants to go without the help of the other Arab countries. Maybe Saud can calm him down. ANYWAY " As long as they go on talking instead of shooting, there is hope for a peaceful settlement. IlHY are we mixing into this ' Middle East mess? Here is one reason: ' - Experts of American farm products had been doing pretty well up to the time the Suez ruckus started. But, the depart ment of agriculture says, U.S. farm" exports are expected to DROP during the first half of 1957. Why? The agriculture department says the Suez crisis has trimmed the pocketbooks of many of our foreign . customers. SO foregin purchases of our agricultural surpluses are falling off. TTHIS is the nub of the situa tion: If we are to remain as pros perous as we would like to be we need a peaceful world to do business with. That's what we're trying 'to 1' JpB bring about. statehood and government un der Franco's direction. Later he is to attend the naval and air force academies. The idea of the restoration of the monarchy is not very popu lar with the leaders of the Fa lange party. Some of these lead ers are bitter opponents of the Prestoration idea. Others believe that plans could be worked out by which, under a king, the party might still be the real power. There may be a serious clash at some future time if Franco decides that the time for a mon archy has come - or if some- Matter of Fact THE GREAT SHAKEUP Moscow The Soviet govern ment is about to undertake the most fundamental and far re- aching re o r ganization of its own structure that has been at tempted in many years. This is the real meaning of p r o m i se of further decen tralization that Joseph Alsop emerged from the recent plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. The board outline of the tre mendous changes now contem plated was sketched for this re porter by Nikita S. Khrushchev, who described them as "absol utely fundamental." The details were subsequently filled in in so far as they have been decided upon in a two hour interview with the head of the Gosplan, the State Planning Commission, N. K. Baibakov. "We intend to do away with the industrial ministries al together, both at the center and in the republics," Mr. Khrush chev told me. "Instead, all in dustrial enterprises in each ter ritory of the Soviet Union will be directed by territorial depart ments. As for plans, these will also be drawn up on the spot, but the Gosplan will examine and review the plans initially prepared by the territorial departments, to see that they fit with each other from ter ritory to territory and guarantee maximum progress and effi ciency." IN ORDER to understand some thing of the truly extraordin ary significance of this seeming ly mild announcement, it is first of all necessary to understand the present organization of the huge Soviet economy. In brief, -all of Soviet indus try is now monolithically or ganized under the "industrial ministries" whose scrapping was revealed by Mr. Khrushchev. There are scores of them, and in essence they resemble govern ment departments much less than they resemble a General Motors Corporation controling, not just half the business in its industry, but 100 per cent. The right way, then, to gauge the meaning of Mr. Khrush chev's revelation is to imagine all the industrial part of the American economy organized in to a series of super-super-Gen- eral Motors Corporations, each with its own vast empire of coal mining or ferrous metallurgy or automotive construction or machine tool building. Then Im agine the sudden dissolution of all these " giant industrial mon oliths, as it were at one stroke of the pen, and you will have some idea of the extent of the contemplated shakeup. In mere numbers of highly placed persons affected in the republican capitals and above all here in Moscow, the shakeup goes beyond anything that can be easily pictured by one hab ituated to our system of society. As Mr. Khrushchev boasted. "Many tens of thousands of engineers and technicians wiU be released from office work for productive work in old and new enterprises." e- . yA N A G ERIALLY, the new A" system will be far more dis persed than the old system, in terms of planning it will be al most more centralized. Indeed, one of the points that stand out most strongly is the actual in crease of responsibility of the al ready huge Gosplan organiza tion. To form the new basis of the pyramid, as Mr. Baibakov ex plained it, the whole area of the Soviet Union will be divided in to a number, as yet undeter mined, of economically coherent territories. In each territory, new development center or ter ritorial department will be established, having the appropri ate planning and other branches and being directed most probab ly, by a territorial economic council. All the enterprises in the ter ritory, previously controlled by one industrial ministry of an other, will come under the ter ritorial department when it is established. The Depart ment wiU be responsible for develop ing the current and long range development plans for the ter ritory as a whole and for each of its industries. Territorial plans will be submitted, through the planning branches of the republican governments, to the Gosplan in Moscow, for final re- thing happens to him wflich makes the restoration an Im mediate issue. Army leaders are strongly monarchlstic. A lot of army men do not like the Fa lange. But for the present, Franco seems to be in no hurry to make any change in the .governmental system. His first step, when he gets ready, is likely to be the ap pointment of a prime minister who would take- over some of his heavy burdens of govern ment while leaving him head of state. By Joseph Alsop . vision and coordination men tioned by Mr. Khrushchev. DON'T intend to loosen the strings of the scientists and researchers on our indust ries," Mr. Baibakov said. Therefore major plans or "pro jects" for all industrial enter prises will continue to be pre pared in the innumerable "pro ject institutes," which are the foundation of the Soviet plann ing pyramid. These are now mainly clustered around the about-to-be dissolved industrial ministries. In future, the most vital project institutes will in stead be attached to the Gosplan and the Perv'ukhin organization, and branch institutes will be established where appropriate in the territories say coal pro pect institutes in the Kuzbas, Donbas and Karaganda Basin. In day to day management of their enterprises, however, enter prise directors wiU now be more free than before. As subordinate parts of great monolithic or ganizations, enterprise directors were formerly forced to keep looking over their shoulders to wards the1 head office. Now they themselves will have primary responsibility, and the territorial departments will be discouraged from interference in purely man agerial problems. SUCH is the broad outline of the new departure which is to change the whole administra tive and perhaps the economic map of this country. As explain ed by Mr. Baibakov, the central, reason for this new departure is simply the inability of an absolutely centralized govern ment to manage such a large economy as this. "Our economy is planned and wiU always be planned," he said. "But our economy has now reached such a size that we here in the center cannot always see all the little details. That can be much better done on the this statement, as Mr. Baibakov frankly admitted, was the inability of the central plan ning mechanism to combat real ly successfully the empire-building tendencies of the industrial ministries and their subordinate enterprises. All wish to be self contained a tractor f a c t o ry making its own nuts and bolts, for instance. And economizing investment by preventing this impulse towards wasteful self containment, rati onalizing in dustry in other ways and achiev ing the fullest use of local re sources, all demand locally based planning. In short, this extraordinary development, which will revolu tionize the planning and man agerial setup of the second largest Industrial economy in the world, is two things at once. It is both a symptom of Soviet suc cess in promoting industrial growth and a proof that this growth has produced its own built-in problems of extreme complexity and difficulty. 1957 New York Herald Tribune Ine.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The time is approaching when President Eisnhower , must come to grips with another political deci sion. He must make up his mind w h ether he wants to support Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon for the 1960 R e p u b I i can Lyle c. Wilson nomination. Perhaps Mr. Eisenhower will want to shirk that one. But presidents, like kings, have responsibilities in common. One of them is to designate or, in the case of a king, to produce a bona fide, unquestioned heir. A president's responsibility for an heir is more to his party t'lan to. the nation and has noth ing to do wtih blood lines.- It is a various responsibility," some times being without substance. In the case of President Eisen hower, however, it is real and substantial. Old Guard Through Mr. Eisenhower's responsibil ity to designate, rather than to produce, an heir is real and sub stantial because he is attempting to build a new party. He and others are telling the Old Guard Republicans that thev are through, their policies outmoded and their appeal to the voters going if it has not already gone. The President has set up the party of modern Republicanism an Eisenhower party as clearly as the New Deal of the early Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although under certain circum stances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permis sible.

Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words The Nursing Home Problem To the Editor: This letter is written in the hope that citizens in our community may better understand the reasons for the petition presented recently to the Oregon State Welfare Com mission by the 121 members of the Oregon Licensed Nursing Homes, Inc. Approximately 3,000 aged and infirm men and women are now receiving welfare assistance. Over 2,000 ofi this number are patients in homes of the nurs ing homes association. At the time of the petition the State Welfare Commission was paying the following rates to nursing homes for welfare pa tient care: Ambulatory patients, (able to walk) $100 per month; semi-ambulatory patients $115 per month; wheelchair patients $135 per month; bedfast patients $150 per month; bedfast patients requiring constant nursing care and medication $180 per month. Consider these figures for a moment. The most modest hotel charges about $4.50 per day for a guest who is perfectly well. This does not include all meals, help with bathing and bathroom duties, alcohol rubs, sympathe tic attention to the lonely and confused old people who look to nursing home attendants for everything from reassurance and affections to hair combing and new home permanents for elder ly ladies. This hotel receives $133 per month for a room only. Nursing Home administrators are asked to supply all these services to an ambulatory patient for $100 per month. Nursing Home administrators are facing financial ruin when they accept welfare patients, and yet how can they turn them out? Many of these unfortunate peo ple have been in the same home for years. Where will they go? Their families, when they have families, will not take them back, not for twice the remun eration paid by the state; county homes cannot possibly accomo date them, they do not have the beds or space. By actual certified cost analy sis taken over a six-months per iod (January through June, 1956), in 21 representative Ore gon nursing homes, the average cost to nursing home administra V :(tfe--.Ji THE HAND OF HELP Vn the hour of need . .

Main ASHLAND We Never Close 1930s was a Roosevelt party. The Roosevelt party never re quired an heir to succeed FDR Mr. Roosevelt alwavs was avail able and acceptable. Mr. Eisenhower cannot snlva this problem as FDR solved his. Mr. E. will be benched after Jan. 20, 1961 by an amendment of the Constitution which for bids a third term. Like FDR. Mr. Eisenhower is sponsor of a new party which seeks to move party foundations considerably to the left of the old stand. He will urgenUy need someone to carry on to Drevent tho Tt lican party from shifting back to its old moorings. Terrific Pressure Expected The time is comintr anri faii-w soon, therefore, when a great many Republicans will be ex pecting Mr. Eisenhower in nams. his man. The pressure for that win duuq up and become ter rific. How can the President nam his choice, however, in view of his public record? Through the long 1956 discussion of his vice presidential running mate, Mr. Eisenhower ducked a decision by holding that nomination of a vice presiaential candidate was strictly the prerogative of the Republican National convention. ine t-resiaent created the im presion that it would be discour teous or impertinent for him to interfere. How much more dis courteous or impertinent would ii oe men, tor him to interfere by designatine his choi fnr un spot on the. 1960 ticket? The President's alternatives are difficult. Shall h norm i o free convention at the risk of witnessing the nomination of an Old Guardsman whn ,, 1,1 strangle the new-born party of in u u e r n nepuDiicanism? Or, shall he take charge of the na tional convention and control It as many presidents have dona before him? tors was determined to be $5.08 per patient day. The average welfare rate is $4.09 per day, a net operating loss of 97 cents each day or approximately $30 per month for each patient. Over 67 per cent of all Datienta )in nursing homes are welfare cases. An average 20 bed home wiU carry at least 13 welfare patients. In other words, even a small 20 bed home is incurring a monthly loss of approximate ly $390 plus an additional loss on the unoccupied beds. (This average is 10 per cent on a state wide level). True, the nursing homes did receive a patient rate increase of 10 cents per 'day last November, but this amount is ludicrously inadequate. Last December the Nursing Homes association was forced to take a drastic measure in order to awaken the Welfare Commis sion to the gravity of our situa tion. By unanimous vote we ap proved a letter informing the Welfare Commission that as of February 1, 1957 all welfare pa tients in our nursing homes would be retained at the follow ing rates: ambulatory patients $5.25 per day, semi-ambulatory patients $6 per day; wheelchair patients $7 per day; bedfast pa tients $7.75 per day; bedfast pa tients, requiring constant nurs ing care and medication $9.25 per day; plus 50 cents per day for all involuntary or incontin- 1 ent patients. These figures repre sent a 60 per cent increase over present rates. They were determ ined after a thorough analysis of the findings revealed through the six months survey made last year by certified public account ants and or licensed public ac countants. The Nursing Homes associa tion has now agreed to hold in sbeyance the rate increases scheduled to take effect Feb. 1. We are deferring this deadline so that the Welfare Commission may have time to request this additional appropriation through proper legislative channels.
