Hazards of Duty More than a score of state police officers have been killed in the line of duty, in gun battles with criminals, in the 25V2-year history of the department The most recent was Charles Sanders, who was killed outright last week in a battle with an elderly man who had been threatening the me oi his wiie, who in turn called on officers for help. Less than a year ago, Officer Richard O Connor was killed near Bandon on a similar task, an investi gation which involved approaching a house. The occu pant fired, killing the officer, but not betore his shots killed the offender. AND Jackson county residents still remember viv idly the death of Officer Phil Lowd, who wa3 killed June 24, 1952, by an elderly prospector, George Baker Dunkin, when Lowd was making an investiga tion in the northern part of Jackson county. These three officers have given their lives for the public you and me within the past five years, in this police district alone. More than 20 others have died over the years in a similar manner. Each member of the force is aware that death may strike at him this way at any time, without warning. It is a hazard they agree to accept when they join the force. TPHEY don't hesitate for themselves, that it. But probably no member of the state police organiza tion has gone without thought of what would happen to his family, his wife and children, should he be the next to fall in defense of the public peace and safety. For an occupation as inherently hazardous as that of a police officer, the benefits to survivors are remarkably skimpy. Each has a $5,000 insurance policy, for which the state pays the bulk of the premium. There also is a voluntary fund, contributed to by virtually all members of the force at a rate of 1 per cent of their salaries, for death benefits. But this totals little more than enough to provide a decent burial. COME of the officers who served during World War II have held on to their GI insurance in amounts up to $10,000. But other than this, the hazards of the work make insurance high-priced, and added insurance, on top of all the other costs piled on the modest salanes thev draw, is usually prohibitive. We feel certain that officers would handle their duties with greater peace of mind and a surer step if they knew their wives and kids could get along without hardship if something- happened to them. And, in a state which is now thinking in terms of a biennial budget in the $300,000,000 class, the price tag doesn't seem too high. E.A. Trade Magazines Some of the technically "slickest" magazines, and some of the most interesting, these days, are the so-called "house organs" and trade magazines of a few of the big companies and industrial associations. These magazines are not for general circulation, but are put out usually by the public relations depart ment of a big firm or association for distribution to employees, stockholders and others witn an interest in the company or industry. Some of them have wider distribution, too, but you can't ordinarily find, them on a news stand. THEY vary widely in format and content, but all have as their pnncipal objective the creation of a friendly feeling toward the company or industry. One of the best of them, the Aramco World, is put out by the Arabian American Oil Company. Its articles cover a wide field. In the most recent issue, it has illustrated and glossily presented stories about the history and present uses of the donkey, how x-rays are used to check pipelines, one about the first oil explorations in Arabia, a discussion of gold and its uses, a description of Middle East "sweetmeats," com plete with recipes, a description of in what manner people the world over sleep, and a little feature about the origin and traditions of St. Valentine s day. The writing is expert and easy to read. The articles are interesting and informative. And the pro-company propaganda is so'skillfully combined with articles of interest that it is never blatant or offensive. Hope For Solution to Israeli Impasse Tops News During Week By CHARLES M.

MAN WITH A PAST Two Republican senators, Wat kins of Utah and Case of South Dakota, raise questions as to the political fitness of David K. E. Bruce, who was nominated by the President to be ambassador to West Germany. Mr. Bruce, a former ambassador to France and an undersecretary of state in the Truman years, gave $1,000 to the Democrats in the 1956 campaign. Senator Watkins stat ed his objections thus: "If he was in sympathy with the ideas of Adlai E. Stevenson during last year's campaign, I would have some questions as to whether he can fairly represent the policies of this administra tion." Mr. Watkins -and Mr. Case overlook the fact that Mr. Bruce has been nominated to represent the whole United States, not just the Republican party, in Bonn.

And they are fertile fields for magazine writers, the free-lancers who make their livings by digging out the sort of off-beat and inoffensive, but inter esting, stories which these publications like. Like magazines of general circulation, they have their own "taboos," and generally steer away from anything controversial. But within their limitations they do an excellent job, at any rate those of them which have progressed beyond the stage of doing nothing but lauding the company which, puts them out, and listing promotions and transfers of personnel. Like all publications with "a purpose," they should be eyed with a certain healthy skepticism, but granted that, they can be thoroughly enjoyed.

From my careful observa tion, however, I am sure such school buildings do not produce better and more efficient stu dents. Schools were so crowded in my youth that we were obliged to have three grades in each classroom. Furthermore, we had two sessions morning and afternoon and no bus to take us to school! I really be lieve these rough conditions were a good part of our educa tion. Talking with students, I do not find much objection to hav ing the schools used more or the curriculum made more practical. They welcome the 'use of televi sion and radio. It is the teachers who complain about longer hours a day and working 11 months. The State Legislatures are also responsible for passing various laws regulating teachers professional requirements and sanitary conditions in schools. These laws are actively promot ed by PTAs, as well as by pro fessional men and tradesmen who have interests at stake. In creased State taxes are due nq only to the cost of luxury build ings, but also to all these laws supposed to benefit the "health and comfort" of the children. The facts are that the graduates today need to be made tougher rather than softer. This is the way to cut costs, reduce taxes, and graduate better students. What About Parking? Although the automobile has given the state and counties more income, yet it has vastly increased their expense? for roads, police protection, and parking facilities. This last is becoming a most important ques tion. Good downtown parking facilities must be provided to enable retailers to continue pros perous. However, parents not only believe that the city should provide parking facilities for their automobiles but also park ing facilities for their children! I believe the present school system is luxurious and expen sive because of the desire oi parents for places to park their children while they are at ciuo meetings or out working. I therefore forecast a complete revolution in school construc tion, in school maintenance, in the number of teachers required, and in the school curriculum. party.

The SP In the Past To the Editor: Mr. Robert Ruhl's editorial, "And Do It Now" in Feb. 26 Medford Trib une probably expressed pretty well the jeal feelings of most Southern Oregonians, whether or not they have written their legislative representatives in Sa lem. To get a perspective of the working plans, aims and inten tions of the Southern Pacific RR management, one should go back to the days of Collis Hunt ington, Jay Gould. John D. Rockefeller, Mark Hanna, et al, and their activities. . . . Then look at manipulations of looters of the public domain 50 to 65 years ago, when millions of acres were stolen through "legal ized" thievery by Jim Hill, Wey erhaeuser, T. B. Walker, C. A. Smith, et al. The attitudes of such breeds were expressed by Jay Gould, "We own the land. How we got it God knows. And we are going to keep it if we have to bribe every Senator and feed the hungry Congressmen," and Collis Huntington, instiga tor, of the S.P- railroad, "Who ever I bribe I make forever my slave." Whether bribing Senators and Congressmen with V4 or mil lion dollar doses on the spot: denying a public service solemn ly agreed to furnish, or destroy ing the last shade tree by the depot to get dollars for billboard space, it all boils down to "the public be damned attitude. The billion dollar S.P. railroad main tains a powerful lobby. The public none. However it seems auite safe to presume that Bob Ruhl's editorial expresses the feeling of by far the majority of southern Oregon people. And whether elected or ap pointed public officials, city, county, state or national, realize it or not, the persistent, per tinacious selfish special inter ests." of whom George Wash ington wrote to Patrick Henry- are just as greedy today as in 1779 so beware!
