Treating a Symptom
How corrupting, how evil, how dangerous are the
shoddy, sensational, semi-pornographic magazines
one can find on almost any "news" stand these days?
Do they constitute a menace to morality? Do they
contribute to juvenile delinquency? Do they whet and
pervert the naturtW instincts into channels of hidden
salaciousness?
These are questions which are arising across the
nation, these days, as more and more publications
find it easy to make a fast buck by catering to human
curiosity and desires for traditionally-taboo reading
and pictures.
AS WE view it, these trash magazines are not the
cause of anything not delinquency nor crime nor
a breakdown in the moral tenor of society.
They are a symptom. Delinquency and crime are
other symptoms.
No permanent cure, will be achieved by treating
symptoms, as any good doctor can tell you. A cure will
be effected only when the underlying cause the dis
ease itself is found and eradicated.
Being a confirmed optimist about humanity, we
are convinced that the disease (which is basically a
failure to set, and strive to achieve, high standards of
personal behavior and morality) is confined to a rela
tively small segment of the population. And the cure
is as long and laborious as the progress of mankind
itself.
MEANWHILE, we have the symptoms to worry us.
The trash magazines are one symptom. What are
we to do about them? Are we to form a band of vigi
lantes and charge around town pressuring honest mer
chants into the thankless job of self-censorship?
Or should we set up an office of censorship, where
some public official is given the unhappy task of de
ciding who can read what?
Or should a committee draw up lists of publica
tions of which they disapprove for the "guidance" of
all concerned lists which, in effect, say "YOU can't
read this because WE disapprove of it."
Any of these alternatives are repugnant to a free
society. They are nothing but extensions of the same
sort of thinking which brought about book-burning in
the middle ages and in Hitler's Germany, and the blue
nosed, self-appointed defenders of prudery in the
Watch and Ward society.
ALL RIGHT, then. What DO we do to protect our
"selves from published obscenities?
If we're honest about it, we will follow the time-
honored principles of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence
that every man is entitled to his day m court, that no
man shall be deprived of property without due process
of law, and the other safeguards to personal liberty
and freedom of action.
Oregon law makes indecent, immoral or obscene
materials illegal. But it also provides that what is ob
scene shall be determined, not by self-appointed cen
sors, but by the established courts of law;
Action to eliminate the evils of trash magazines,
then, should follow the same pattern and the same
legal procedure we use in curbing other evils of so
ciety. TN THE LONG RUN, it is less dangerous for people
to be allowed to read what they want (be.it a re
ligious tract or a scandalous report of the pecadillos
of a-popular singer than it is for us to surrender one
iota of the proper controls of government to vigilantes
or volunteer censors.
The office of the district attorney, the powers of
the grand jury and the role of the complaining wit
ness are open to any who feel the moral fiber of the
community is endangered. And let's keep it that way,
for if freedom is to remain, we must insist that the
only body competent to judge a man publicly in the
scales of right or wrong is a jury of his peers. E. A.
"Savings" Bonds
Discussions of the relative values of U.S. "savings"
bonds have been frequent, of late. The net result is a
forthcoming increase in the interest rate on the bonds.
But a distinct disservice has been paid to the bonds
by discussing them in terms of "investments."
As "investments," they are no longer competitive
with other methods of putting money to work. But as
"savings" they are still unequalled in the job they do.
THE distinction between "savings" and "invest
ments" is not a difficult one. Investments are de
signed to put money to work and bring a return. Sav
ings are designed to provide a method for accumulat
ing a "nest egg," or a reserve, or a sum for a specific
purpose.
Since the U.S. bonds pay less interest over the
years than many other places .where money can be
placed, they have been derided, and the fact that they
do not even keep up with an inflating economy has
been pointed out repeatedly.
PUT for the person who wants to sock away a mod
JJ est reserve, they offer definite advantages. They
are wholly liquid that is, they can be converted into
a known amount of cash at any time. They can be
"painlessly" accumulated, either through a payroll de
duction plan, or by authorization to a bank to make
automatic purchases out of accounts.
And, far from least, they are probably the safest
means of saving money, backed as they are by the
credit of the United States, and immune, as they can
be, to loss by theft or fire. .
And, in addition, they have the value of disturb
ing the national debt to the largest possible number of
people, which has an important stabilizing effect on
the economy. E.A.

FOREIGN AID
There is, as we know, wide
spread and growing public oppo
sition to the foreign aid pro
grams of the
gov ernment.
We have just
about reached
the time when
a continuation
of these pro
grams cannot
be taken for
granted. Sena
tor Green,
who is chair-
Walter Lippmann
man of the Special Committee to
Study Foreign Aid, points out
that while there has been a grad
ual decrease in the sums appro
priated, there has been a gradual
increase, as reflected by votes in
the Senate, in the opposition.
In 1948, there were only sev
en votes cast against the final
passage of the Marshall Plan.
Last year, there were 30 votes,
equally divided between the two
parties, cast against final pas
sage of the Mutual Security ap
propriation bill. There would
have been more votes cast
against it had not the adminis
tration accepted a reduced ap
propriation and coupled that
with a promise to reappraise the
entire program. There is reason
to think that this year the oppo
sition is still larger and is more
determined.
HPHE subject of foreign aid is
extremely complicated, and
many of the important facts are
either secret and unavailable or
they are masked to affect opin
ion abroad or opinion in Con
gress. Sometimes, for example,
in order to, make a better im
pression abroad, what is really
military aid is presented as civil
ian aid. At other times, in order
to impress Congres, what is pre
dominantly civilian aid will be
presented as military aid. All in
all, it is not astonishing that the
American people do not feel
happy about an expensive pro-,
gram -which is so hard to under
stand.
In this atmosphere there has
grown up a general popular mis
apprehension about the whole
subject. It is "that the govern
ment is taking every year some
thing like $4 billion out of the
American national income, at
the expense of the American
standard of life, and is giving
away this money to raise the
standard of life of all sorts of
people all over the globe.
The truth is that virtually all
the money is spent to support
and hold together the great mili
tary coalition, of which the
United States is the head, that
surrounds the Soviet Union and
Red China. What we call foreign
aid is the annual upkeep-of the
system of military alliances
which was inaugurated under
Truman and has been extended
and elaborated under Eisen
hower. THE popular notion about for
eign aid was true enough in
the immediate post-war years.
Then, great sums of money were
used to raise the prostrate econ
omy of Western Europe, of Ger
many, of Japan and of other
countries which had suffered
from the war. During the five
years between the end of the
war and the Korean invasion
only about $1.5 billion out of a
total of $26 billion went for di
rect military assistance. Most of
the balance went for relief, re
habilitation and reconstruction.
A great deal of what is now
thought and felt, about foreign
aid in this country is based on
what was done in the way of
foreign aid before 1950.
Now it is different. In the six
years after the Korean invasion,
out of a total of $30 billion of
aid, $17 billion, or nearly 60 per
cent, has gone into direct mili
tary assistance, and it is fair to
add that a very large proportion
of the balance of economic aid
has gone into indirect military
assistance.
Thus for example in the cur
rent fiscal year Congress has ap
The plan calls for fhe aboli
tion of the draft, the scrapping
of all battleships, the reduction
of British North Atlantic Treaty
troops in Germany and cutting
down British garrisons all over
the world.
While Britain was cutting
down it armaments program,
West Germany inducted the
first 9,733 draft 'troops for its
new army.
In another development which
reflected the contrast between
the British and German situa
tions, Gen. Hans Speidel of West
Germany assumed the command
of NATO ground forces in cen
tral Europe. In his new post,
Speidel will command United
States, British and French as
well as German troops.
Lashes Hungarian Premier

unusually bitter statement said
that the government of puppet

nist Hungary had reverted to a
regime of "Stalinist terror", to
keep its people in subjection.

propriated $3.7 billion of -which
all but $600 million about 16
per cent is military in purpose
either in the form of military
equipment or of economic sup
port. What is more, a large pro
portion of the non-military aid
is used for strategic and political
purposes.
THERE are four conclusions
which we might draw from
the facts and they should be
kept in mind when we discuss
foreign aid.
The first is that foreign aid,
tremendous as it has been in dol
lars and in effort since the end
of the war, cannot be shown by
the facts to have gone "down the
drain" and to be nothing but an
unending and self-perpetuating
handout. The overwhelming
bulk of our economic aid has
gone for relief -and war recon
struction. The countries we have
helped Europe and particular
ly our two former enemies, Ger
many and Japan have made re
markable recoveries. This type
of aid has now stopped complete
ly. What we have now is mili
tary assistance, not assistance for
reconstruction, rehabilitation or
even for development. By its
very nature military assistance
tends to be at least partially, a
recurring demand.
IHE second conclusion is that
we are not engaged on a
large-scale program to promote
the development of Hinder-developed
countries. There are some,
myself included, who think we
ought to have such a large-scale
program, and that it is essential
to the working out of a happy
accommodation between East
and West. But the fact is that we
do not have such a program now,
and it is time to stop fooling our
selves that we do have one. If
we wish to undertake a genuine
and effective program, it will in
volve larger appropriations for
foreign aid though not much
larger rather than smaller, and
it will require a long-term com
mitment. What we have now is
primarily and overwhelmingly a
program to subsidize our mili
tary alliances.
This leads to the third conclu
sion, which is that when we de
bate cutting out or cutting down
drastically the foreign aid pro
gram, what we are really deal
ing with is the Eisenhower
DuUes foreign policy as they op
erate it. There is no way to sepa
rate the policy from the foreign
aid, which is simply and almost
solely the money needed to
make the policy work.
And finally it should be clear
from all this that foreign aid in
its present form could not be en
trusted to international adminis
tration or control. Nor could its
burden on the American taxpay
er be appreciably reduced by
asking other nations to contrib
ute to these programs. For they
are in essence instruments of
United States foreign policy and
are designed to serve American
national interests.
NEARLY 40 per cent of last
year's expenditures was for
military hardware, as they call
it in the Pentagon, and for facili
ties essential to the maintenance
of NATO. Another 45 per cent
or more want to subsidize the
military efforts to such allies as
Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan,
South - Vietnam, Formosa and
South Korea. Total economic
and military aid for South Korea
is now costing $600 million a
year. For Formosa and for South
Vietnam, it is costing between
$200 and $300 million each.
When the Congress does begin
to discuss the appropriations for
foreign aid, it cannot ignore the
relation of these funds to our
existing alliances.
Whether the policy of these
alliances is wisely conceived is a
totally different question, which
very few, virtually none, of the
opponents of foreign aid are as
yet seriously discussing. '

Protests Juvenile Dept. Action
To the Editor: I am complain
ing about our juvenile depart
ment again. As citizens we owe
it to our youngsters to demand
good, kind, and understanding
officers and we do not have
them. Tonight the police man
handled our young son pushed
him into a police car and re
fused to tell me the charges or
to arrange for his release but
threw him in jail.
How can we make these kids
do right when they are treated
like criminals? Parents should
protest such treatment. Do you
know that Jackson County has
more boys in McLaren School
for boys than any other county
in Oregon? That alone proves
that our juvenile department is
not doing anything to help these
youngsters. I intend to demand
a State investigation into the
juvenile department activities in
this county and tomorrow I in
tend to personally circulate a
petition to the governor of our
state to send and investigation
into the handling of juveniles in
this county. It is high time we
refused to believe the propagan
da that our kids are bad and
that the juvenile department is
doing anything short of receiv
ing a high salary for maintaining
a recruiting station for the state
training school. As parents we
have a right to be consulted re
garding our children's misdeeds,
also no child should have a war
rant issued for his or her arrest.
The juvenile officer's first duty
is to see that this does not
happen.
I intend to sell my home to
retain a lawyer to defend this
boy if necessary. They always
pick on the kids who's folks are
not able to pay for good legel
advice and pour it on, but I
shall sell all I have before I will
allow this to happen to a boy of
mine. Any parents interested in
how to "protect our kids please
contact me.

Worth the Effort
To the Editor: Communism
will fail, we all know. For who
can prevail against' the Power
of God? He has built them up
that greater will be their fall.
Then all the world shall know,
"He is indeed, the Lord God of
Hosts."
Perhaps this is why so many
of us are so complacent about
Communism and its breeding
grounds. But it does not follow
that because Communism must
lose, we shall win. .God destroyed
the Egyptians at the Red Sea
but the children of Israel wand
ered in the wilderness for . 40
years. Moses, their leader, was
even denied the right to ever
enter the Promised Land be
cause he disobeyed only once.
We have been shown how hor
ribly evil, Evil can be. We have
been shown how destructive
knowledge, power and wealth
can be if not guided by love and
goodwill.
We have been shown the need
for brotherhood among all men,
being All Children of One Fath
er. If now we do not proceed to
try to cast out all evils, cultivate
love as the basis of life and
acknowledge God as the Father
of all people, are we worthy of
being saved?
It is a huge task ,that requires
that everyone do their best. We
can't leave it for our neighbors,
Senator or President to do. We
must all sincerly serve the Lord
to bring Heaven to Earth and
forever end wars, sorrow, evil
and pain. Wouldn't it be well
worth the effort?

Labor Movement Seen
Fearful of Results
Of Racketeer Probe
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The Sen
ate investigation of labor racket
eering is beginning to throw a
scare into the labor movement.
Labor leaders fear that the
hearings involving Dave Beck
and the Teamsters union, and
other unions yet to be heard
from may set off a fresh wave
of anti-union feeling. The most
Dogwood Legend
To the Editor: Here is a re
print from the California Min
ing Journal and formely publish
ed by Grass Valley Union. "Leg
end of Dogwood Tree"
At the time of the Crucifixion
the dogwood tree was as large
and strong as the oak and was
chosen as the timber for the
Cfoss. To be used for this pur
pose distressed the tree and
Jesus, in His pity, promised:
"Never again .shall you grow
large enough to be used for a
cross. Henceforth the dogwood
tree shall be slender and twist
ed; its blossoms in the form of a
cross. . .two long and two short
petals. At the edge of each petal
there shall be nail prints; in the
center of the flower, a cross of
Thorns. And this tree shall be
cherished as a reminder of My
Cross."
So it has been and the spring
time flowering of the dogwood
has remained a symbol of Divine
Sacrifice and the triumph of
Eternal Life.

"Direct Versus Indirect
Taxation"
To the Editor: Our politicians,
both on the national and state
fronts, in order to avoid criticism
resort to Indirect Taxation, but
with the direct result the same,
and we remain in exactly the
same position, as if the total were
levied in direct taxes, namely a
"take-away" of 50 per cent ,of
our earnings annually.
The so-called Social Security
also is a semi-direct tax. The
public will eventually pay out
far more than they get. Although
this plan has been showing its
efforts very gradually it is never
theless a most unfavora ble
system. Political expediency will
be used to save it in order to
save the face of the Administra
tion. The Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, and its 12 zone banks
throughout the country has a
monoply on our currency, and
this currency as we know it, is
only a small part of the vast
government credit medium, most
of the units of which are inter
changeable, and must be con
sidered together. They are all
of them, in the final analysis,
purely "Paper" and they derive
value only from the other phy
sical wealth of the country. In
themselves they have no values,'
be they government bonds, trea
sury notes or paper currency.
The reason these 'Tapers" are
accepted is that they are ex
changeable by law and backed
by the taxing power of the Ad
ministration. ,
Let our Administration con
tinue to spend more than it can
get in Taxes, or borrow to spend
more, and we will have a con
tinued and heavier inflation.
There is now in prospect a
machine that will print our pa
per money twice as fast as it has
been issued in the past; but
obviously an increase, in the pa
per tokens of exchange, does
NOT create wealth.
After years of manipulation of
money behind the scenes by the
Money Masters, . the average
American has finally found out
some of the "Inside story" and in
the hard way by increased
Taxes, and before the end of
1957, we will be taxed even
harder and oftener than ever
before, until ultimately we will
be compelled to declare a TAX
STRIKE. This is the only langu
age that the Tax-Eaters under
stand. The wealth of the country is
not increased by running the
government printing presses.

feared result would be more '
state right-to-work laws and con
gressional demands for a nation
al law outlawing the union shop
and similar provisions in union
contracts.
Eighteen states now have
these laws. Until the Indiana
legislature passed one this year,
they had been limited largely
to southern and sparsely popu
lates states competing for new
industry.
Laws Were 'Invited'
These laws were in a sense
invited by a provision of the
1947 Taft-Hartley act. That law
outlawed the closed shop which
required new employees to be
union members before they
were hired.
The Taft-Hartley did allow
the union shop, in which new
employees are required to join
a union within 30 days after be
ing hired.
But it also explicitly recog
nized the right of states to out
law the union shop and all oth
er forms of "union security"
contracts even those for unions
subject to federal law. Eighteen
states have accepted the invita
tion despite opposition from the
labor movement.
Labor and the Law
The late Sen. Robert A. Taft
(R.-Ohio) who masterminded the
Taft-Hartley law to enactment
over President Truman's veto,
accepted the right-to-work pro
vision to keep southern Demo
cratic votes in line.
Although the labor movement
opposed this provision, it was
much more concerned at the
time about other parts of the
bill. These included the closed
shop ban, anti-strike injunctions,
authorization for damage suits
against unions, and the guaran
tee of freedom of speech for em
ployers which labor feared could
lead to intimidation.
In the last 10 years, labor has
learned to live with what it once
called a slave labor law. But it
is in no mood to accept tougher
restrictions.
Holmes' State Fair

Receives Criticism
Salem flJ.R) Gov. Robert D.
Holmec' appointments 'to ,-the
State Fair Commission drew
criticism today from Reps. Ed

Both representatives, who are
engaged in agriculture, said they
had no criticism of the individ

appointed that no one directly
engaged in agriculture or con

pointed to the commission.
The two Republicans said
"Gov. Holmes a short while ago
asked that management of the
State Fair be returned to the De

he felt that recent fairs had not
stressed agriculture enough.
More Representative
"In order to make the state
fair more representative of Ore

it seems to us that the commis
