Time for a Start
There are some areas in which Jackson county
is ahead of other counties of comparable size. Ex
amples of this are road and highway development,
an outstanding historical museum, plans for a juvenile
detention home, and what is probably the best public
health department in the state.
In other ways,' Jackson county lags behind. It has
no zoning ordinance for the protection of rural resi
dents (although with the recent appointment of a
planning commission, such a step is closer than it once
was). It contributes a far smaller percentage of sup
port for the library than do many other counties. Ana
it is totally without any program for the development
of a county park system.
Now, with the budget committee in session, is a
good time to think about them.
IT has been previously remarked here that as popu-
lation continues to increase (and it will), pressure
will continue to rise for added areas for recreation.
Our state parks and forest camps, good as they
are, are not adequate to serve this legitimate demand.
And if the county is to fulfill this function, which is
one of the jobs of a county that is spelled out in
state law, it had better get cracking while there is
still time to plan ahead, and before the spots best
suited to recreation are devoted to other purposes.
The start need not be a big one. An appropriation
of five or ten thousand dollars (out of a budget well
in excess of two million) should serve to set up the
basic operation of a parks division, permit surveys
to determine ideal sites, and even start a modest pro
gram of acquisition and development.
NEIGHBORING Josephine county, with far less
population and a smaller income, this year has
a park budget of $5,000 and one full-time employee.
Douglas county to the north has a budget of more
than $80,000, and employs several men in its parks
department. Lane county has an ambitious program.
Multnomah county, which of course is in a class by
itself as far as the rest of the state is concerned, has a
budget in excess of $190,000 for county parks.
Failure to do something about it this year would
put us just one more year further behind.,
Last December, in commenting on this situation,
we said :
". . . It would be doing the city of Medford and the
people of Jackson county and their thousands of summer
visitors a big favor if they (the county) undertook to acquire
Prescott park on Roy Ann butte . . . and operate it as a
county recreational property.
"This park is valuable for that use only; it logically
should not be the responsibility of the city, and it would
furnish the nucleus of a county park system which would
serve the people in their leisure hours for generations to
come."
"THIS comment is still valid today.
" We hope the county budget committee can see
its way clear to provide sufficient funds to get the
program going.
It is less urgent today than it will be 10 years
hence, but if preparations are not made, and soon, it
will always be "too little and too late," no matter
what we do in future years. E.A.
Policing Welfare Funds
Union welfare funds will probably come in for
some kind of federal review at this session of Con
gress. Disclosures by the special Senate committee
investigating labor-management racketeering so far
have touched only lightly on pension-health-welfare
funds. Nevertheless, key members of Congress are
showing a disposition to "do something" and the
welfare funds offer a likely target.
Support for legislation on welfare funds crosses
party and liberal-conservative lines, perhaps because
the general view is that the proposals most frequently
discussed would be primarily corrective rather' than
punitive. Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) and Sen. Irv
ing M. Ives (R-N.Y.) are co-sponsors of a bill to re
quire registration of the funds and reporting of fund
data.
THE Ives-Douglas proposal is described as "not a
regulatory bill," only a disclosure bill. Americans
for Democratic Action at their annual convention in
Washington on March 31 came out strongly for dis
closure of all transactions involving union welfare
and pension funds. And Arthur Goldberg, special
counsel to the AFL-CIO, is saying that organized labor
should favor a disclosure bill, dropping its previous
insistence that the same measure cover employer
managed funds.
The Douglas bill would cover union welfare funds,
joint labor-management funds, and management
funds. Lane Kirkland, assistant director of AFL-CIO
Department of Social Security, in urging its passage
last month, noted that it dealt not only with "just the
one-half of 1 per cent (of beneficiaries) covered by
union plans, or the 7.5 per cent covered by joint funds,
but the 92 per cent covered by employer-run plans as
well."
THE Taft-Hartley Law already sets limited stan
dards for the establishment and operation of collectively-bargained
welfare funds. These call for
jointly administered trust funds kept separate from
other union reserves. Maximum penalties for violation
of these Taft-Hartley provisions are $10,000 fine and
a year's imprisonment.
Senate investigations have established that over
75 million persons are directly or indirectly covered
by employee pension and
contributions amount to
reserves add 'up to $20 billion or $25 billion. The
Securities and Exchange Commission says that these
reserves make up the largest single source of equity
capital. E.R.R. ,

Congress' Accomplishments as
Easter Nears Said Not- Great
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press Correspondent
Washington (V.R) The ap
proach of Easter annually gives
the signal for stock-taking on
the record of Congress since the
start of the year.
There is a widespread tenden
cy each year to come up with
the finding that Congress hasn't
dont much and the record this
year would not indicate that
1957 is different.
To this conclusion, however,
the perennial and probably justi
fied retort is that Congress at
work in the winter is Congress
at work in committee. The
trickle of bills out of commit
tees becomes a flood in late
spring and early summer.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's take a calm and consid
ered look at the ruckus that has
arisen between the congress and
the postoffice department. It
came about like this:
Postmaster General Summer
field asked the congress the oth
er day for 47' million dollars to
run his department during April,
May and June. These months are
the last quarter of the current
fiscal year. A new fiscal year be
gins on' July 1. Presumably, he
needed the extra money to car
ry his department through until
a new fiscal year begins.
His request for additional
funds came before a house ap
propriations subcommittee, that
suggested that the postal depart
ment be given only 17 million
dollars, which would just cover
pay increases authorized by con
gress for postal employees. What
that amounted to was a proposal
that the postmaster general cut
30 million dollars out of his op
erating budget for the next three
months.
Til R. SUMMERFIELD reacted
promptly. He said that if
congress wants a cut of that size,
he'll go along.
. But
He added
He'll have to cut postal ser
vices drastically. He tolds a news
conference that if he is to cut
30 million dollars out of a re
quested appropriation of 47 mil
lions he'U have to CUT DEEPLY.
His cuts, he said, may have to
include such things as these:
Cut out Saturday mail deliv
eries. - Close all postoffices on Satur
days. Call a halt on money order
sales. .'
Reduce mail deliveries in city
business districts to one per day.
WELL
"if spending is to be reduced
sharply so that taxes may be
reduced something like that is
what will have to be done. Taxes
are high because government has
been providing a lot of SER
VICES for tne people. If we are
to cut taxes, we wiU have to get
along with less services from the
government.
That's about the long and the
short of it.
WHILE we're at it, let's take
a sharp look at the postal
business. It is a BUSINESS. It is
run by the government. For a
long, time, it has been costing a
whale of a lot more than it has
been taking in.
Both President Eisenhow
er and his postmaster general,
Mr. Summerfield, have proposed
that the gap be closed by charg
ing higher postal rates. So far,
the congress has refused to do
this, preferring to load the defi
cit onto the taxpayers.
That is to say:
The congress has assumed that
the taxpayers would rather pay
for the postal deficit out of their
TAX POCKET instead of out of
their, stamp pocket.
T et's take a look at that.
By and large, the taxpayers
and the users of the postal ser
vice are more or less the same
people. Everybody pays taxes.
Everybody uses the postal ser
vice. ...
Scj
It might be argued, what dif
ference does it make how the
deficit is paid?
CONSIDER . this fact: .
Some users of the postal ser
vice may spend millions of dol
lars a year for postage. Others
may spend very little. I imagine
there are people who write no
more than t few letters a week.
I have a definite notion that
those who write only a few let
ters a week far outnumber those
whose postage bill runs into the
hundreds of thousands, or may
be millions, of dollars per year.
- What that amounts to is that
those who used the mails spar
ingly, but who PAY TAXES,
have to help pay the hills of the
heavy users of the postal service.
I THINK maybe the members of
congress, whose primary in
terest is VOTES, may have been
overlooking that fact. It might
be a good idea for them to count
up the votes again. If they did
so, they might come to the con
clusion that it would be better
to raise postal rates than to go
on piling the deficit onto the
taxpayers.
others have emerged from com
mittee and many have been pass
ed by one of the two houses.
The most important act of
Congress during the first three
months was passage of the reso
lution asserting the Eisenhower
Doctrine for resisting Commu
nist aggression in the Middle
East.
Other major bills passed were
a 15-month extension of cor
porate income and excise tax
rates, new lending authority for
the Small Business Administra
tion, and more authority for the
government to buy up mortgages
and free more private funds for
home financing.
Otherwise, the House has pass
ed five of the regular appropria
tion bills, none of which is yet
off the asseifibly line in the Sen
ate. The Senate has passed a
$1,500,000,000 public works bill
and a massive rewrite of federal
banking laws two bills which
now await House action.
Matter of Fact
LAWYER DULLES
Washington If you see him
in action, it is easy to under
stand why Secretary of State
John Foster
Dulles was one
of the world's
most highly
paid corpora
t i o n lawyers.
At his press
conference the
other day, Sec
retary Dulles
found his path
Stewait Alsop llDcrally
strewn with booby traps, mostly
placed by his admiring biogra
pher, John Robinson Beal. It was
a pleasure to watch Dulles danc
ing delicately around them, be
cause it is always a pleasure to
watch a first class mind in ac
tion. Yet one could not help won
dering, also, whether a brilliant
lawyer does not suffer from cer
tain liabilities as a Secretary of
State. A lawyer is an advocate.
His whole training prepares him
to put the best possible face on
a client's case, suiting his argu
ment, to the occasion and the
audience.
This ingrained habit has been
responsible for most of Dulles'
troubles. Take the biggest booby
trap Dulles faced at his press
conference the report in the
Beal book that Dulles had with
drawn the Aswan dam aid offer
"brutally, without (giving Nas
ser) a chance to save face," in
order to force a Middle Eastern
showdown.
.'.
AT HIS press conference'
Dulles claimed that he had
withdrawn the aid offer "in a
courteous manner." What actual
ly happened was this. Dulles re
ceived the Egyptian ambassador,
Achmed Hussein, who had been
dispatched to j Washington, by
Nasser to accept the American
aid offer, on the afternoon of
last July 19. He ctied to Hussein
various reasons why the United
States wished to withdraw its of
fer (and no one disputes that
there were excellent reasons for
doing so). He then showed Hus
sein a press release citing Egyp
tian economic weakness as the
main reason for withdrawing
the offer, and asked Hussein to
comment on it.
Since the statement was al
ready prepared for release to the
press, there was really nothing
Hussein could say. Dulles was
polite to Hussein, and the press
release contained the usual pro
testations of "our friendship for
the ' Egyptian people." In this
purely formal sense, the manner
of the withdrawal was "cour
teous.' But in real terms, it was
a slap in the face for Nasser, as
Nasser instantly realized.
There is no doubt at all about
one main reason why Dulles
slapped Nasser's face so public
ly. The Aswan dam project was
at the time under the most vio
lent attack from an alliance of
right-wing Republicans and cot
ton state Democrats. A month
before, under pressure from this
alliance, Dulles had said that
there was "no likelihood" of any
United States funds" being used
for the project.
T KITING Nasser down easily
in such a way as to save his
face by saying that the project
had to be "reconsidered," for ex
ample would have caused an
explosion in the Senate. Dulles
took office determined not to re
peat his predecessor's mistake of
alienating Congress, and his
manner of turning Nasser down
was certainly in part a gesture
of appeasement to the anti-dam
Senators.
Dulles also came to office,
BOY HAD HEART ACHE
GEO. N. TAYLOR
The small boy saw God, Christ, the an
gels, father and mother all over in the
glory-land. But he knew he had sinned and
knew he was not fit. Then on a day his
mother told him of God's Son, dying for his
sins. If he would receive Christ's death as .
clearing him and eternity in the glory-land
would be his. Right there, the" boy laid
hold on Christ as having died for his sinful
nature.
Hear the AMEN chorus from ,the saved
of every land. God leads his saved ones to
glad days that no man can picture. New
days here Eternal glory there.
No Great Volume
At this point, the atmosphere
in Congress indicates that a
great volume of legislation is not
to be expected this year. It can
be easily argued, however, that
the record of a Congress cannot
be measured in terms of the
number of bills passed.
If Congress mirrors public
opinion, the only effective pub
lic pressure on legislation this
year is aimed at cutbacks in
government spending. This situ
ation alone can put a brake on
measures like President Eisen
hower's school construction pro
gramcalling for new outlays
of money.
Because the school segrega
tion issue has become enmeshed
in the school construction bill,
passage of a civil rights bill has
been viewed as a necessary pre
liminary to action on the school
measure. Now school legislation
must also survive the battle of
the budget.
By Stewart AIsop
however, determined not to
make his predecessor's other
mistake, of alienating the press
and through the press the pub
lic. Domestic political appease
ment may sometimes be wise,
but it is not heroic foreign dip
lomacy. And Dulles undoubted
ly did have another reason for
his abrupt rebuff to Nasser he
wanted to expose the hollowness
of Soviet economic aid offers to
Egypt.
In private conversations with
sympathetic reporters like Beal,
Dulles, like a good lawyer, no
doubt emphasized this more he
roic aspect of the matter. And
thus his rebuff to Nasser
emerged, not as a necessary ges
ture of domestic political ap
peasement, but as "a truly major
gambit in the cold war," "com
parable in the sphere of diplo
macy to the calculated risks of
war taken in Korea and For
mosa." .
11HEN this sensational version
' ' of the episode caused the
inevitable explosion, Dulles, the
good lawyer again, shrugged off
the withdrawal of the aid offer
as a necessary act performed in
"a courteous manner." All this
suggests why his critics at home
and especially abroad, use the
word "disingenuous," and other
harsher adjectives, when they
describe Dulles. But in his own
eyes, Secretary Dulles is cer
tainly not disingenuous at all.
He simply puts his client's
case in the best possible light,
depending on the audience, as
he was trained to do. In a good
lawyer, this is an admirable
habit. But in a Secretary of
State of the United States, it can
cause a lot of trouble, as recent
history . very clearly suggests.

home prize to $153,000 Sunday
night to become the largest
money winner on a single tele

Nadler, a civil service em

St. Louis, Mo., won $32,000
when he defeated Mrs. Lowell
Thomas Jr., world traveler and
explorer, in a geography cate

his first appearance in August,
1956 by downing experts in the
fields of ancient, European and
modern history, music, baseball
and anthropology.
, Nadler's phenomenal photo

once. His only defeat was in a
classical music category when
he offered too much informa
