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.

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.
His appointment, made by a Re
publican, must be confirmed by

A considerable portion of the magazine industry
possibly as much as half of it, particularly if one
includes the publications issued to members of organ
izations such as the Elks, Kiwanis, Rotary, American

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. E.A.

schools produced better stu
dents, I would be the last to
criticize the present craze for
'bigger and better" school build
ings. 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

the number of teachers required,

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-
