SIX MrDfORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Mondar. April 8, 1957 They'll Do It Every Time J i km By Jimmy Hatlo -As IF HE DIDM'T KNOW 7U4T R4SSIKG A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS WAS 43W TlPOP THE U4TU3 HJT TO riS&t DONALD ROSS, TULS4,0KLA I Smaller, More Mobile Forces Are Favored to Prevent Little Wars Corvallis Smaller and more mobile U.S. and allied armed forces as part of a world-wide cut in arms and support of a United Nations police force to stop "little wars" were favored by Oregon "Great Decisions" discussion groups voting on "What U.S. Military Strategy in the Nuclear Age?" Ballots from 300 discussion groups in 22 Oregon counties were tabulated last week by Oregon State college extension service. This was the seventh in a series of eight foreign policy i.ocues for the 1957 Great Deci sions program. Q$iHtary Strategy On the question of basic mili tary strategy for the U.S., Ore rjcm ballots rated policy alterna tes in the following order: fifty per cent though the U.S. pould try to build armed forces, along with its allies, that are better equipped and more mo bile than communist forces even though they may not be so nu merous. Twenty-two per cent favored a similar approach in finding a workable compromise between a few well-armed, mobile troop units and a comfortable civilian economy in which the military budget is not a burden. Another 22 per cent said the U.S. should realize that it can not match Russia man for man and should build a super "retal iatory" force only, concentrat ing on aircraft and new weap ons. This would leave supply of ground troops to U.S. allies. Least popular, of alternatives to the question was the building of . armed forces to protect the continental U.S. without regard to the rest of the world. Prepare for Attack On the question of how to pre pare for a possible surprise at tack, alternatives were rated as follows: Twenty-two per cent thought the U.S. should step up construc tion of radar and other warning systems in the U.S. Twenty-one per cent would raise armed forces pay and bene fits to build a "professional" military establishment followed by a cut or elimination of the draft. Nineteen per cent favored stepping up civil defense meas ures on a state and local basis. Six other alternatives for pre paring against surprise attacks divided the remaining votes with virtually no ballots favor ing such approaches as longer draft period for better training or stationing of more troops overseas to increase "the realia- TABLE ROCK Section Markers Placed By R. E .NEALON Pable Rock A crew of sur veyors from the U. S. Interior Il8rtment are locating and g&oeing permanent markers on stion corners in this area. Pck old markers were placed the government survey made 100 years ago in 1857. 9e remember one of these mark ers some fifty years ago that fiaoi near where the overhead crowing is now, at Tolo, where fSe crossed the railroad each day, working for the Conder Water ae4 Power Co. It took us quite awhile to figure out what the US.G.S.B.M. 1182 meant. a baby shower for Mrs. Stanley Newnham at Sams valley Fri day. A similar shower was held at Central Point Tuesday for Mrs. Kent Clark. Both showered ladies were former residents of this community. The last meeting of the local Community Club drew a much smaller attendance than .usual. Following the- business meeting, a program of motion pictures V4a given, but the technician tfcat was supposed to operate the gadget failed to show up, so Carl Vanderoool took over and man- a&d to keep the balky appara tus showing pictures, and talk ing, some of the time. Next meeting of the club will held Friday night, April 26, with an Ed Sullivan "type variety show, with David Doran as MC, Roxy Garrison, young daugh' ter of the Lucky Garrison's is nursing a sore arm due to get ting it into a clothes wringer. Nursery stock moving from the Gordon Kershaw nursery here is taken to his other plant in the Antelope district, where a grafting machine imported from France, and made over by Kershaw, does a complete job of putting in the grafts even to the waxing. Gordon has a knack of making a machine do its job, even if he has to make it com pletely over, as he did this one, which now will turn out between 7,000 and 10,r00 grafts per day. During a conversation with a lady who resides on Beall Lane, she told us she was worried about getting in her crops, due to weather conditions. When we told her she didn't need to wor ry, as there was already a sur plus of what crops she would raise. In reply, she said she didn't have any surplus money to pay her taxes. Social secur ity was mentioned, and we told her we didn't think she could get social security, because of the age requirements, and she said she didn't think we were old enough to qualify. So it looks to us as if both had done our good deed for the day with out knowing it. Several local ladies attended Visitors at the local Sunday school Sunday were D. D.

Policy Alternatives Policy alternatives to handle any "little wars" that may break out were balloted in the follow ing order: Forty-nine per cent thought the U.S. should support a per manent UN police force and see to it that the UN has enough authority and power Jo stop "lit tle wars." Twenty-nine per cent favored equipping U.S. armies with both conventional and atomic weap ons. The type used would de pend upon circumstances. Twenty per cent said 4he U.S. should build more air transport planes for rapid troop movement to trouble spots. Alternatives for the U.S. to prevent an all-out World War III received the following votes: World-Wide Arm Cut Forty-eight per cent said the country should try for a world wide cut in arms. At the same time, the U.S. should build up the UN as keeper of the peace and press for a permanent UN military force with authority and strength to act in emergen cies. Next most popular alternative with 13 per cent of the vote rec ommended negotiations with Russia for arms cut and a gen eral political settlement of all outstanding problems. Third place alternative with 11 per cent of the ballots called for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Europe if Russia will with draw from Eastern Europe, as part of an arms cut agreement. Mrs. Arthur' Doty returned Saturday from Oakland, Calif, where she has been for some time. She was a surgery patient in a hospital there. At the last meeting of the Sams valley Grange there were n6riculture reports from two members, one rather gloomy as to the future of farming opera tions, the other rather optimistic. It was stated that alfalfa seed could be sold this year through the Grants Pass Co-op for 38 cents, or two cents under last year's price, and that cattle pric es were looking up. Lester James stated that the Sams valley-Beagle conservation district now has a dump truck that can be hired by farmers in the district at a nominal fee Some thievery has been going on in the district, among things being taken were 12 sprinkler heads from the Straus brothers farm, worth $6 apiece.

Later, Nichol was discovered in the center of a bramble patch, and all the coaxing, talk and tempting food, failed to get him to come forth, until a girl cat brought to the scene, gave out a coquetish meow, which brought him out on the double. However, his new love didn't last, and Nichol is on the prowl again. and has been absent for several days. 1 SENATOR FROM TEXAS Ralph Yarborough, new senator from Texas, re ceives congratulations at his home in Austin.
