Comet
Phil Brogan, associate editor of the Bend Bulletin,
who is Oregon's leading journalistic . authority on
things scientific (including notably geology, meteor
ology and astronomy), reports that the comet Arend
Eoland has not yet reached a point where it is visible
to the naked eye.
The comet, discovered by Belgian observers (and
named after them) last November, is also called
1956h, signifying that it is the eighth comet discov
ered last year. It is the only one, however, which
will be generally visible before leaving the central
portion of the solar system.
OROGAN last week laid to rest reports that the
comet was now plainly visible and "as large as a
full moon."
It is npw of a magnitude of about 4.0, he reported,
which would make it barely visible if it swung over
head during the hours of night instead of at dusk.
However, after it has completed its swing around
the sun (which it will pass at a distance of about
29,700,000 miles, or about one-third the distance from
the sun to the earth) it will speed again toward "outer
space." At that time it is expected to become plainly
visible to the curious inhabitants of earth, and will
have a magnitude of about -1, or as bright as the
brightest stars (not planets) in the sky. Presumably
it will not be sufficiently large so that one can dis
tinguish its parts the head and long tail although
telescopes or binoculars might well be sufficient for
this purpose.
THHE closest approach to the sun is due April 8. By
mid-month it will return to this part of the sky,
and Brogan says :
"In late April and early May, the comet will get into
the northwest sky, supercharged following its visit to the
sun, and ready for its plunge into the realm of Neptune and
Pluto. The comet is expected to provide quite a show in
the northwestern sky in early May. But it will not be
mistaken for a full moon."
Astronomers may be able 'to plot its orbit suffic
iently to tell when and if it will return to the sun again
someday perhaps, like Haley's comet, in seven or so
decades, or perhaps not for hundreds of years as it
spins away from the sun, through the void of empty
space, chasing its tail. E.A.
Traffic
For some time we have been aware of how crowd
ed many of our principal streets have become. But
it was not until last week that we had it brought
home to us.
A count of automobiles using East Main st., near
Geneva, was compiled during February by the state
highway department, and we received a copy. We
asked a colleague his guess as to how many cars
used the street each day. "About 1,500," he hazarded.
THE actual average count for February wras 9,637
per day, and on the peak day of the month it was
10,342.
It's a good thing the voters approved the arterial
street program last fall, and that the city is proceeding
to put it in effect xs rapidly as possible. It's getting
tougher all the time to drive from one side of town
to the other. E.A.
Nothing Happened
Some time ago we noted with interest that there
was a plan afoot in Eugene to close several blocks
of Willamette street (the town s mam artery of com'
merce) 'during a several-day "Spring Opening."
The idea was to ban parking, to open the streets
to pedestrian use, and to permit merchandise displays
on the sidewalks and streets. Shoppers could wander
around as their whim dictated, leisurely taking stock
of the off enngs.
.We said it would be interesting to see what hap
pened. And what did happen? Nothing.
PERHAPS it was too much to expect that the solid,
go along with a "hair-brained" plan such as that
however attractive it might be, and however much
light it might throw on the potential habits of shop
pers and their relationship to the development of
"downtown" into modem shopping centers, which
could compete on an equal footing to those which-are
developing in fringe areas where there's room -to
park.
The idea originated with the Eugene planning
commission, and during the period it was under con
sideration queries about it had come in from many
areas. But the "noble experiment" is not to be for
a while, anyway.
MEANWHILE, weir have to do what we can to
1T1 solve the increasing "mess downtown" in other,
more tested ways. And by "we," we mean not only
Medford, but also Eugene, Albany, Pendleton, Cor
vallis, and all the other towns which do not have
enough parking space to accommodate those wishing
to do their shopping, in established stores and shops.
- Medford is lucky, in a way, for the situation here,
while serious and getting wTorse, is not as bad as it
is in some other places, and if attempts to provide
solutions continue (as, apparently, they are, through
city action), we'll be able to benefit by the experience
of other areas. .
Still, we'd like to see that street opening plan tried,
just once, sometime, somewhere. E.A.

Dulles Hau
OK'ing Chi
By DONALD GONZALES
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.PJ John
Foster Dulles wrote a book sev
en years ago. It has been haunt
ing him ever since on one point
the questions of Red China's
admission to the United Na
tions. Many times since 1950 Dulles
must have thought of the Bibli
cal words in the 31st Chapter
of Job, Verse 35 "My desire
is . . .' that mine adversary had
written a book."
Newsmen and diplomats over
the last four years have remind
ed Dulles that before he be
came secretary of state he wrote
on Page 190 of his book "War
or Peace:"
"I have now come to believe
that the United Nations will best
serve the cause of peace if its
assembly is representative of
what the world actually is, and
not merely representative of the
parts which we like. .

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's take a look today at Mr.
Dave Beck.
A few weeks ago, he was per
haps the most powerful man in
America. Today he is discredited.
Not only is he discredited in the
eyes of the general public. He
is in discredit by his.assoc:ates
in the labor movement.
TIE AD this:
''The top leaders of the AFL
CIO (meeting in Washington)
suspended Dave Beck as a Fed
eration officer and ordered an
investigation of the million-and-
a-half Teamsters Union.
The executive council direct
ed AFL-CIO President Meany to
file charges against Beck as a
vice-president of the Federation
for what it called "his action in
bringing the labor movement
into disrepute and his failure to
explain the many charges
brought against him regarding
the mishandling of Union
funds."
AND read this:
Thp flrponn T.aVinr Prn f.f-
ficial publication of the AFL-
CIO in the state of Oregon, calls
for more reasonable ceilings on
the salaries of union officers.
The Labor Press editorial adds:
"We don't expect union lead
ers to take vows of poverty, but
we do think a salary of 50 thou
sand dollars (plus, it might have
added, ' unlimited expense ac
counts) is too high for a man
who represents workers whose
yearly earning may average less
than five thousand dollars."
THOSE are expressions from
the middle and upper eche
lons of the labor movement.
Read this, which reflects the op
inion of the rank and file:
"Last night, at Yakima, Wash.,
Dave Beck was burned in effigy
outside a meeting hall. Inside
the hall, members of a Teamster
local argued hotly with officers
appointed by Beck. It was re
ported that the local passed a
resolution that none of its money
would go to any defense of the
Union chief."
TTHY this fall from the heights
to the depths?
This, I'm sure, is the an
swer: . It was the result of too much
power held in too few hands too
long.
TIJR. BECK first tasted the
heady cup of too much pow
er in Seattle, where he got his
start. His power spread over the
Pacific Coast, and then over the
West. Then he moved on East.
The time eventually came when
he must have realized there was
not a business in the United
States he couldn't shut down
(and perhaps wreck) if he chose.
fTHAT is a lot of power.
Possession of it corrupted Mr.
Beck as it has corrupted so
many men since the world be
gan. In time, he came to think of
himself as a SUPERHUMAN.
It seemed to him that he was
doing SO MUCH for those over
whom he ruled that ANYTHING
HE MIGHT WANT wouldn't be
too much for them to provide
for him.
If he needed thousands of dol
lars or hundreds of thousands
of the money they had paid
into their treasury in the form
of dues, it seemed to him it was
quite all right for him to TAKE
it and USE it, in whatever man
ner he chose.
FOR
He probably reasoned
Hadn't HE made possible all
this accumulation of money?
THAT'S what power does to
men's minds.
Too much power, held in too
few hands too long, is the most
dangerous thing in the world.

tempting to appraise closely
those which are 'good' and those
which are 'bad.'
Must Prove Ability
"If the Communist govern
ment of China in fact proves its
ability to govern China without
serious domestic resistance, then
it, too, should be admitted to
the United Nations. However, a
regime that claims to have be
come the government of a coun
try through civil war should not
be recognized until it has been
tested over a reasonable period
of time."
Dulles hadn't been secretary
of state for long when he had
to come to grips with the actual
issue of Red China's possible
place in the United Nations. He
took a strong stand against ad
mission of the Peiping regime
particularly after Sen. William
F. Knowland (R-Calif.), declared
in 1954 that he would fight for
American withdrawal from the
UN if Red China got in.
After Knowland's blast, Dulles
was asked at a news conference
(July 8, 1954) whether he felt
his views on the issue "have
been modified since your book
in 1950?"
Matter of Fact
THE POLISH ELIZA
Paris Reliable reports from
Warsaw suggest that American
policy makers will be most un
wise to take
the new anti
Stalinist Pol
ish govern
ment too much
for granted as
a perma n e n t
feature of the
Central Europe
scene.
From the
very beginning
Josepb AIsop
of the Polish uprising against
Soviet colonial rule, the task
of the Polish "National Commu
nist" leader, Wladyslaw Gomul
ka, has been very like the task
of Eliza crossing the ice.
For example, it can now be
revealed that when Nikita
Khrushchev and his party made
their famous surprise visit to
Warsaw last November, their
minds were nine-tenths made up
to "crush the Poles like flies"
as Marshal Zhukov subse
quently said in a tone of evi
dent regret. The price that had
to be paid to avert a Hungarian
tragedy was Gomulka's promise
of continuing Polish adherence
to the Warsaw Pact which meant
continued stationing of Red
Army troops in Poland
Gomulka's situation today is
less immediately critical but it
is almost equally precarious for
the long' run. He would prob
ably be in very deep trouble at
this moment if he had not done
so well in Poland.
Gomulka's situation today is
less immediately critical but it
is almost equally precarious for
the long run. He would prob
ably be in very deep trouble at
this moment if he had not done
so well in Poland's recent curi
ous semi-free election. The so
called Natolin Group the far
from unimportant Stalinist fac
tion in the Polish Communist
Party actually hoped the elec
tion would show a strongly anti
Communist result.
THE Polish Stalinists correctly
thought that such a result
would eventually lead to the
forcible re-establishment of full
Soviet colonial rule in Poland.
But Poland's wise and far-sighted
Cardinal Wyszynski under
stood the danger. He quietly
threw the immense.power of the
Polish Catholic Church into the
balance on Gomulka's side. And
thus the Polish Nationalist lead
er won a triumph at the polls.
All the same, Gomulka's pres
ent problem looks very grim
indeed. To the right of him, he
has the restive Polish anti-Communists,
which means the vast
majority of the Polish people,
who admire Gomulka but hate
his party. To the left of him,
he has the Stalinist faction in
the Polish Communist Party,
whose designs are strongly sup
ported by the masters of the
Kremlin.
Finally, squarely in front of
him, Gomulka has the desperate
economic situation to which Po
land has been reduced by long
years of Soviet colonial rule.
Here lies his great chance ana
his great peril. According to
one highly authoritative esti
mate, Gomulka has no more than
a year to give his people a sense
of greatly increased well being.
IF HE fails, he will go down to
defeat in a conflict between
the Stalinists and the anti-Communists.
But this will mean, in
fact, that Soviet colonial rule
will be re-established in Poland.
For the Kremlin will surely
seize the opportunity of a Polish
time of trouble to help its War-
GOD ANSWERED PETER
GEO. N. TAYLOR
The cripple, 40 years of age, had never
walked. Daily they carried him to the
temple gate to beg. One day, the Apostle
Peter passed that way and commanded the
man to rise and walk. At that the man's
feet and ankle bones took on strength and
he went into the temple, leaping and walk
ing and praising God. Acts 3rd tells it.
John 16:23 makes us bold. Ask in Christ's
name and God answers.
Dulles took the position, in
his answer, that a lot had hap
pened "which in the winter of
1949 and 1950 were not predic
table." He referred primarily to
Communist China's aggressive
actions against Korea and Indo
china. The State Department has dis
closed that Dulles now has writ
ten a 2,000-word "foreword" for
new editions of his 1950 book,
about one-fourth of which is de
voted to an explanation of the
Red China question.
In 1957, Dulles junks the idea
that Red China should be in the
United Nations to make it a
truly "universal" organization
whether -member nations are
"good" or "bad." He recalls now
that he did say the regime should
be tested over a reasonable per
iod of time.
"This testing has indicated the
ability, so far, of the Commun
ist regime to maintain itself in
power, although by ruthless, police-state
methods," Dulles now
writes. "However, it is equally
demonstrated that the regime
does not possess the qualities
which entitle it to speak for
China in the United Nations . .
By Joseph AIsop
saw friends with the naked
force of the Red Army.
On the other hand, if Gomulka
succeeds on the economic front,
his leadership will cease to be
challenged, either from right or
left. He will at last 'gain the
elbow room to deal with the
Polish Stalinists. And the evolu
tion of Poland can then proceed
peacefully, not toward our kind
of democracy, but at least in
a direction that will be bear
able for the Polish people and
highly distasteful to the Krem
lin. At present, Gomulka is both
being kept on leading strings
and openly threatened by the
Kremlin. With the economic
problem overriding all other, the
Soviet economic aid promised
to Poland is being given in
trickles, on a day to day basis,
For instance wheat deliveries,
according to the same authority
quoted above, "have to be rush
ed to the flour mills, and the
flour has to be rushed to the
bakeries, to prevent a bread
shortage."
BY PULLING on the leading
strings in this manner, the
Kremlin has encouraged Gomul
ka's recent concessions to the
Polish Stalinists, which alarmed
the West. Washington of course
has the opportunity to cut the
Kremlin's leading strings. But
judging from this distance,
Washington seems to be disin
clined to grant Gomulka the
generous American economic aid
he so badly needs.
Yet surely, a government that
is good enugh for Cardinal
Wyszynski ought to be good
enough for Senator Knowland.
And surely, after all the grandi
ose talk about "liberation," it
is a bit odd. to throw away the
remaining chance offered by the
deep unrest in Central Europe.
For if Gomulka really succeeds
in Poland, the position of the
Stalinist regime in Czechoslo
vakia must finally become un
tenable. And even in the other
Central European countries
where Red Army troops are sta
tioned, Gomulka's success will
create a permanently and ex
plosively unstable situation.
The question, really, is wheth
er Senator Knowland and the
Administration policymakers he;
so often intimiates prefer mak
ing cheap and empty "anti-Communist"
gestures against Gomul
ka or gaining a major point in
the world struggle against the
Kremlin's power.

U.P. Correspondents
Predict Future News
United Press correspondents
around the world look ahead
at the news that will make
the headlines.
Clamor
Watch for increasingly per
sistent demands by the British
Labor party for parliamentary
election. With the resignation of
"Kingmaker" Lord Salisbury
from the cabinet, in a dispute
over Cyprus ' policy, the Labor
ites believe they have Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan on
the run. Nominally, Macmillan's
conservative government is in
office until 1960. But under the
British political system, he
might be forced to call an elec
tion on some big issue. The La
borites, already profiting by
Macmillan's difficulties in" the
Suez situation, say that if an
election were held now they
would win a big majority in the
House of Commons.
Posimorlem on Bermuda
Macmillan will face trouble,
by the way, when Commons
holds a full-dress debate next
Monday on his Bermuda confer
ence with President Eisenhow
er. Neither the Laborites nor a
lot of his own Conservatives are
buying the official version that
the meeting was a big success.
The most embarrassing question
Macmillan will be asked: Just
what is Anglo-American Middle
East policy, if any.
Tests
The United States may stage
some atomic , tests this summer
which foreign countries won't
be able to detect. The -Russians,
it is believed, may have done
that already. The Atomic En
ergy commission is thinking of
testing small nuclear weapons
in tunnels dug in rock under
the Nevada proving grounds. Ra
dioactivity from such .tests
would not escape into the at
mosphere to be detected by for
eign monitoring systems.
Teamwork
Word from Washington is that
Secretary John Foster Dulles
isn't practically a one-man State
department any more. New Un
der Secretary Christian Herter
is taking over more and more of
Dulles' political responsibilities
and may even do some travel
ing in his place later this year.
Deputy Under Secretary C
Douglas Dillon, another new ap
pointee, is experting. the Suez
problems now coming to a head
and is working overtime on for
eign economic aid problems.

A Letter of Thanks
To the Editor: Last Thursday
and Friday nights at Medford
High school auditorium nearly
2,000 citizens of Medford and
vicinity paid the highest possible
tribute to a man who has devot
ed 18 years of dedicated service
to the Medford public school
system.
Drama and English instructor
"Bob" Stedman must surely
know that he is missed, and that
everyone in the community is
eager to welcome him back
from his too-long stay in the hos-r
pital.
The "Salute to Bob Stedman"
show, "A Day on Delancey
Street," grew from a few plan
ning committee meetings of
five or six people to enormous
proportions.
An enthusiastic near-capacity
audience made the opening on
Thursday a "big" night, but the
attendance on Friday was too
much for even the big audito
rium to absorb.
I should like to pay special
tribute to Ray Lewis of Mc
Loughlin Junior High school for
his painstaking work in turning
out the excellent musical ar
rangements in the show, and
who with Melody Pierce did a
fine consistent job of accom
panying; to Lynn Sjolund and
his 60-voice high school choir
for their rousing chorus num
bers; to Irv-Mirick and his splen
did band for their before-curtain
and intermission music; to War
ren Wolf and his art students for
their outstanding creation of the
tenements set; to Bernard Rob
berts and the school carpenters
for the set construction; to Col
leen Hope's Dance studio for the
show's choreography; to Caesar
Muzzioli's Accordion studio for
his contributions; to Jerry Mc
Dougall and his crew for direct
ing the lighting and taking
charge of make up; to Russ Jam
ison who knit the show together
as "Tony, the Organ Grinder,"
and to the entire Medford pub
lic school system of teachers and
students who gave unstintingly
of their time and efforts to make
the show a success.
Special thanks is due the
Medford Mail Tribune staff for
the generous ads and space giv
en us for publicity; to radio sta
tions KYJC, KBOY, and KMED,
and to Isaac McCarley of KMED
who tape recorded the show in
its entirety so that Mr. Stedman
might have the recording to
keep as a permanent memento,
and to KBES-TV for making two
previews of the show possible.
Our thanks, too, to John Lusk .
for furnishing the two pianos
for the show, and to Swem's,
Barker's, the Music Mart, and
Puruckers for selling tickets.
It isn't possible to include here
the names of the dozens of
warm-hearted people whose
willing hands contributed to the
