MAIL TRIBUNE
Budget Problems
This is the season of the year when budget makers
get headaches.
They have a reason. In conscientiously attempt
ing to keep the services of school districts, cities, the
county, ana otner taxing units ai tne nign ievei resi
dents need and want, they are also faced with the
hard fact that there is just so much money.
And it i3 a fact sometimes obscure, but none
theless a fact that a "big budget" in total is not an
entity in itself; rather it is the sum of a lot of smaller
needs and demands.
TTAKE the city budget committee, for example.
Last year they were confronted with a total
budget of something over $600,000. This year the
requested total undoubtedly will be more than this,
not even considering the special outlays outside the
general fund which the voters have approved.
This results from two principal reasons:
1. The growth of the city, both as to area and as
to population.
2. The natural (and laudable) desire of the city
departments to do an ever-better job.
DUT where is the budget committee to draw the
line? Where are they going to say "This far
we can go, and no farther"?
They have heard the building department point
out that the size of the city has expanded almost
100 per cent, and that more building inspectors will
therefore be needed; that a $2y2 million hospital
is building and a $5 million retirement home presum
ably soon will be, so more money to perform adequate
inspections for the safety and welfare of the people
will be required.
The police department points out that the an
nexations call for at least one more police "beat"
meaning a minimum of five more men and one or
two more cars. The department asks for a $30,000
increase to properly protect the peace and safety of
the city.
The public library points out that circulation of
books has increased 40 per cent in the past two years,
and that more personnel and more books are impera
tive if proper service is to be maintained, at an added
cost of several thousand dollars.
e
A ND so it goes. Each department has something it
wants and needs to perform the services people
want and deserve to have.
So a man with an adding machine totals up these
requests, and finds to his
far higher than the one for
out an across-the-board cut, either of the budget
total, or of the departmental budgets, is neither
equitable nor intelligent. It could cut into the bone
and muscle of the city's services in an attempt to
slice away "fat."
No, the budget committee, if it is to keep the
budget total within the bounds of income and tax
payer tolerance, must go over the budget item by
item and line by line.
If in this process they cannot keep the budget
within limits, then they will have to go to the people
and ask them to approve an added tax to provide
the needed equipment and services.
e e
THE same general procedure is followed at all levels
of government the school districts, the county,
the state, the federal government.
Everywhere the public officials entrusted with pro
viding governmental services are caught in this
dilemma the mounting costs and demands on
one hand, and, mounting taxpayer resistance and
diminishing returns on the other.
An additional fact that complicates this is that
the taxpayer complaints are seldom against single
budget items, but against the total. All they know,
and often all they care, is that their taxes are high,
and they don't like it. But they have not studied
the situation sufficiently to make constructive sug
gestions as to where money could be saved without
impairing the functions of government.
e e e
fN the other hand, groups are active in making
demands for the expenditure of more money for
special purposes. Often,
case for the need they cite.
And the supporters can bring considerable pres
sure to bear for their approval.
It is the combination of
items, as opposed to general and non-specific pro
tests AGAINST high budgets, with which budgeters
and legislators have to contend.
THE results, more often
special-pleaders advocate.
the generalized pressure against higher taxes becomes
so strong that budgets are trimmed, sometimes with
intelligence and discrimination, sometimes not.
It is in the latter case
essential and needed services can be hurt.

'Soul-Searching' Now
Under Way by Both
Political Parties
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The
Democratic National Committee
is circulating a 1956 election au
topsy calculated to scare any
Democrats who think their can
didates should be shoo-ins in fu
ture elections.
This document is one symp
tom of the soul-searching now
going on among both Republi
cans and Democrats about how
to approach elections in which
the name of Dwight D. Eisen
hower will not appear on the
ballot.
Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler told Balti
more Democrats last week end
that their party cannot assume
it will win in 1960 just because
Mr. Eisenhower will not be a
candidate. The same warning
was contained in Democratic
Sen. John F. Kennedy's Life
magazine article, in which the
Senate Committee
To Hear Spitzbarl
Explain State Fair
Salem (U.R) Manager Leo
Spitzbart will be asked to ex
plain the intricate workings of
the Oregon State Fair to the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee be
fore it acts on a bill to put the
fair back under the State Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The committee held an extend
ed hearing yesterday afternoon
on Senate bill 302 to abolish the
State Fair Commission and put
the fair back under the Agricul
ture Department where it was
before the 1951 Legislature cre
ated the commission.
Sen. Dwight Hopkins of Imb
ler, who co-sponsored the meas
ure with Rep. R. E. Schedeen of
Gresham, said the purpose was
to get the emphasis back more
to the agricultural area of the
fair and less to the so-called car-:
nival area. J
Ed Randall, who operats a
service station near the fair
grounds, complained that prices
were too high for concession
stands and in recent years ha
couldn't sell snow-cones or cot
ton candy because he had to go
through a "Portland syndicate''
which told him, and others in
cluding church groups, schools
and fraternal organizations, what
they could or could not sell.
R. A. Jennings of Eugene, who
distributes such items as slicers
and peelers, complained that he
couldn't get a good location for
his booth at the State Fair, and
wanted the fair put back under
the Agriculture Department.
But Rep. Eddy Ahrens of
Turner, who said he had been
connected with the State Fair
for 25 years, said the attendance
had increased steadily and so
had the exhibits since the fair
went under its own commission
in 1951.
Harley Libby of Jefferson,
president of the Oregon Farmers'
Union, and Elmer McClure, mas
ter of the State Grange, said
their organizations favored the
bill, while George Dewey, execu
tive secretary of the Oregon
Farm Bureau Federation, said
his group had taken no stand one
way or another on the bill.
Portland Man Sentenced
To Life Term in Prison
Portland U.R Leroy Ded-
rick, 32-year-old convicted mur
derer, was sentenced to life im
prisonment yesterday by Circuit
Judge Frank J. Lorvergan.
Dedrick was convicted last
week of the first degree murder
of Mrs. Nehoma Seegar, 39,
Portland. Testimony during the
trial said Dedrick had stabbed
the victim 14 times in the wake
of an argument over foodTTe had

admittance of the Chinese Red
regime to the United Nations.
Dulles' statement seemed to be
a carefully considered pro
nouncement of a policy which
will continue for the foreseeable
future.
The Reason Why
One reason for the statement
probably was that Red China
shares the embarrassment of So
viet Russia over the way the de
motion of Josef Stalin from Com
munist sainthood got out of
hand.
Dulles apparently felt that this
was no time to do any favors to
one of the two great Communist
powers.
But his blast against the Chi
nese Reds marked a definite
hardening of policy.
It has been more than seven
years since the Communists over
ran China and sent Generalis
simo Chiang Kai-shek to seek
refuge in Formosa.
With each passing year, there
is less possibility that Chiang
ever can achieve his dream of
Massachusetts senator said the
Democrats need new ideas and
new faces.
Can't Project Popularity
On the other side of the poli
tical fence, Sen. George D. Ai
ken (R-Vt.) said in a New York
speech Tuesday that the GOP
must remember it is "a Republi
can party, not an Eisenhower
party."
Aiken said Mr. Eisenhower
was elected because of personal
popularity and faith among the
voters that he could best pro
vide leadership for peace. But
Aiken added Mr. Eisenhower
could not translate that popu-
larity into victory for other Re
publican candidates.
The Vermont senator suggest
ed his party needs better public
relations and a generally smart
er operation at national, state
and local levels.
Plan Regional Meetings
The GOP national organiza
tion decided this week to hold
regional conferences this spring
to seek out "grass roots opinions
on political issues." This pro
gram was intended to provide
an early start for the 1958 con
gressional campaign in which
the GOP currently is" conceded
only a longshot chance to win
control of the House and Sen
ate. The Democratic study, based
on the 1956 vote, draws no line
between the party's bright pros
pects in 1958 and the greater
uncertainties to be faced in the
1960 presidential election.
It notes the Democratic con
gressional victory in 1956 has
been interpreted as a sign of
superior "basic party strength."
But it warns of signs the party
is losing strength.
The current soul-searching in
dicates neither party is taking
much for granted in preparing
for 1958 and 1960.
Kennedy's and Aiken's pre
scriptions probably will be fol
lowed by many other proposals
for remodeling the two parties
for the political contests ahead.

Thanks. From Girl Scouts
To the Editor: The Rogue Val
ley Area Girl Scout Council
wishes to thank Mr. Allen,
Mr. Vroman, Mr. Grey and Mr.
Adams for the help and advice
you all gave in making the Girl
Scout Birthday celebration an
unusual success by helping to
focus attention on the organiza
tion and program for the girls.
The benefit that such opera
tion gives to an organiza
tion that works largely with
volunteers is greater than you
realize, I am sure.
Mr. Grey and his advertising
staff made the ads so attractive
and full of meaning, and one
can well understand the time
Mr. Adams spent in shaping up
the news items. We feel that he
did an excellent job coordinating
the many topics. The very few
mistakes made in re-shuffling
will only serve as 3 guide (if
and when we are asked to ex
plain) which will will also show
how thoroughly our readers
scrutinize the contents of the
six pages.
It was a thrill to look through
the section, noting with grati
tude the sponsors. I have re
ceived many telephone calls
with most complimentary re
marks on the contents and the
beautiful job done by the Med
ford Mail Tribune.
Again our sincere thanks for
your help in making this "once
in a lifetime" report to our
"public."

invading the mainland and
throwing out the Reds.
The Communists represent
about 500 million people. The
population of Formosa j totals
about 8 million, most of whom
would be happy if Chiang and
his army went to China or any
where else.
The Peiping government has
been trying to find some means
of getting the United States into
a direct conference, in which
Dulles would meet Chinese Com
munist Premier Chou En-Lai.
Also Ask Peace Talks
The Communists also have
been broadcasting messages
about the desirability of peace
talks to high officials of the Chi
nese Nationalist regime, includ
ing. Lt. Gen. Chiang Ching-kuo,
the generalissimo's eldest son
and possible political heir.
There also has been talk of
an international agreement un
der which there might be "two
Chinas." This somewhat nebu
lous idea would imply that both
Nationalist China and Commun
ist China might be recognized
and that both might be members
of the U.N.
In addition, there is the ques
tion of Japan's future relations
with Red China. Japan so far,
! under successive Dremiers. has
adhered to a pro-American pol
icy, and has refused to recognize
the Peiping government. But
China offering unlimited pos
sibilities of trade, is Japan s next
door neighbor, and Japan needs
foreign trade. The day must
come when Japanese-Chinese re
lations are closer.
But there hardly can be much
effective criticism of Dulles'
statement of policy. The cold war
is on again. The Moscow and
Peiping governments are ene
mies of everything the United
States stands for,

Age-Old Dream Nears
Fulfillment:
States of Europe
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
United Press Correspondent
Bonn, Germany (U.R) You
can stand on the bank of the i
swift-flowing Rhine these days
and actually see a United Europe
in the making.
Tugs flying the flags of five
nations struggling against the
current, towing long strings of
barges loaded to the waterline
on this busiest of European wa
terways. Their cargoes are the
coal and steel of the smoke
blackened Ruhr headed for the
inland ports of France.
In a few years, when a canal
on the Ktiine s Moselle Kiver
tributary is realized, the barges
will return with iron and steel
from the smelters of French
Lorraine for the Ruhr rolling
mills.
Late this month in Rome, six
West European nations will sign
treaty to weld a community
of 160 million people in a single
great trading area comparable
to the United States.
It calls for the gradual, pro
gressive abolition of tariffs and
trade quotas between France,
West Germany, Italy, the Neth
erlands, Belgium and Luxem
bourg plus the sharing of all
peaceful development of atomic
energy. Great Britain has "as
sociated" itself with the plan.
Age-Old Dream
There are many European
statesmen who see this as lead
ing to fulfillment of the age-old
dream of a United States of Eu
rope. Such men as Germany's Kon
rad Adenauer, Britain's Winston
Churchill and Belgium's Paul
Henri Spaak have long counseled
that the nation's of a disunited
Western Europe must so com-

that the Portland-Salem express
way shall be designated "Willa

shall be cajled "Columbia Free

NAM President
Tells of Pressure
Jacksonville, Fla. U.PJ Ern
est G. Swigert, president of the
National Association of Manu
facturers, charged today that
the administration has "yielded
to pressure" to spend any fed
eral money available.
The Portland, Ore., industrial-
1st also said he sees "onlv
trouble ahead" in the Mid-East
crisis, which he charged was
created partly by efforts of for
mer President Truman to "cap
ture the Jewish vote in New
York City."
The West Coast businessman
made his remarks at a news con
ference here.
He said the country could be
on "the threshold of the greatest
prosperity ever attained by any
country in the history of the
world."
"But that is not going to hap
pen if we continue to deprive
industry of capital through our
tax system and if we continue to
turn over to government those
functions that the people can
and should handle themselves,"
Swigert added.
Swigert said some $8 billion
could be trimmed safely from
the the budget now before Congress.

There are growing siens sow
that their advice is being heed
ed. France and Germany have
never been on better terms than
today. Bustling Germany, with
a surplus of capital but no col

Britain, long commonwealth-

and seeking means of linking

Scandinavia, long aloof from

Even so, economic cooperation

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S
budget chief, Percival Brund
age, tells the magazine U. S.
News and World Report that a
treasury surplus of from five to
six billion dollars is POSSIBLE
iur uie ousiuess year Deginimig
July 1, 1958.
It sounds good, but there's an
IF in it. What he means is. that
there can be a surplus IF we
don't spend too much.
QUESTION:
WILL we spend too much?
Answer:
We will unless those who are
running our government get the
idea that spending too much is
no longer a sure-fire way to win
votes.
j rjPEAKING of spending
J U. S. Civil Defense Admin
istrator Val Peterson tells the
congress that 98 per cent of
American city dwellers may die
in a surprise atomic attack unless
shelters are provided.
He adds that he has asked the
President to approve a 32-bil-lion-dollar
shelter building pro
gram. LET'S do a little analyzing.
It seems probable that if
surprise atomic attacks come
they will come at night.
It seems equally probable that
warning of suth attacks will be
very brief.
If those probabilities are real,
it looks like the people of the big
cities would have to spend
EVERY NIGHT in the shelters
in order to be safe.
THAT raises a question:
Would they do it?
If not, the 32 billions would
be wasted.
