MAIL TRIBUNE
The Oregonian, the Journal and "Time"
It will be a relief when the "Portland mess" gets
its day in court and the trial by newspapers ends.
The Oregonian and Journal are now engaged in
bitter combat over Mayor Terry Schrunk and par-
ticularly an article in Time magazine which the
Journal claims "distorted the facts."
For example: "Time" ridiculed the Journal's pub
lication of Clifford Bennett's affidavit denying that
he paid the Portland Mayor a $500 bribe in Septem
ber 1955, the implication being Bennett committed
perjury and the crime by Schrunk WAS committed.
The Journal comments, quote:
"We are not judging Schrunk's guilt or innocence.
We are protesting the fact that Time and the Oregonian
have in effect already convicted him."
The Journal adds:
"The. Journal has repeatedly urged that vice and
rackets must not be tolerated. It has repeatedly urged
that all the facts bevtold, that all the truth be uncovered."
The Journal then "points with pride" to its long
record of achievement in fighting for a clean and
law abiding city and declares "honest journalism
demands that what Time said and did not say
about the Journal be. corrected."
In short, the Portland evening paper is fed up with
Time's distortion of the facts, the Oregonian's ac
quiescence in such distortion and their effort to con
vince the people that the Journal is on the side of the
"bad guys" while the Oregonian "walks with the
angels."
THIS paper's,sympathy goes out to the Journal on
two principal counts.
. No. 1 : "Time" did slant its reports of the "Port
land mess," was unjust to the Portland Journal direct
ly and by implication, and it should, in fairness, make
a correction.
But it won't.
As has often been remarked in this department,
"Time" claims to be a NEWS magazine, but it isn't.
It is a weekly journal of opinion. It almost never
handles a big and controversial story impartially
or objectively particularly m the political field.
We don't mean that its always clever and extremely
readable journalism is factually false. But we do
mean the reports are so arranged and colored and
slanted as to give a false impression.
Moreover if Time has
attempted to be entirely fair and objective in its news,
we have little evidence of either, and we have been a
fairly regular reader of "Time" since it was started.
This opinion of "Time"
is not new with us, we have
times in the past and so our sympathy does go out to
the Portland Journal, as just another victim of Time's
mal-practice, from an objective news reporting stand
point, i
MO. 2 : OUR sympathy is
Darjer because it is also
ism's occupational hazards,
uuoiuuu in tuc uiipuius.ni sjjui news uepcu uiieni.
Had the break in the teamsters and the Portland
underworld come the way of a couple of reporters
irom the UVEMNG, instead of the MORNING Port
land paper, the roles today would, we are sure, be
exactly reversed. And we doubt very much if the Jour-
nai, under such circumstances, would have behaved
very differently than the Oregonian is behaving now
or vice versa.
It was simply a bad "break" for one, and a most
fortunate break for the other."
Just as it would be too much, in such a highly
competitive field as Portland to expect the "Oregon
ian" NOT to capitalize on the "break" to the FULL
EST extent, so it would be too much to expect that
the Journal would accept a "me-too" second fiddle
role and would not do the best it could, with the
crumbs that were left over.
. e
JN SHORT, as far as the newspapers in Portland are
concerned, the inevitable conflict regarding crime
and vice revelations is proceeding in a perfectly natur
al and normal fashion.
Our only complaint is it has gone far enough
too far in fact. Let the "trial by newspapers" now be
stopped and let the "due process" clause in our consti
tution get to work.
THE Langley trial has started, the Shrunk trial will
be held soon, and it is to be hoped court action
involving Bosses Jimmy Hoffa and Dave Beck will
not be far behind.
As everyone knows the basic principle of Amer
ican jurisprudence is the accused are always assumed
to be innocent, until in a proper court their guilt has
been proved.
So from now on let the verdict be left to the courts,
not to the press, and then let those who have been
found guilty by a jury of their peers be given the
punishment the laws provide, and those found not
guilty enjoy the benefits of official innocence they
have won. R.W.R.

Communications
The Delinquent and Police
To -the Editor: It is not often I
get a good belly laugh. However,
an irate lady's challenge to the
Medford City Police did the
trick.
I gathered from her epistle
that, possibly, a boy of hers had
somehow gotten himself into a
tangle that made it necessary
for a city blue coat to take ac
tion in the matter.
For the Lady's edification let
me say that every law enforce
ment officer is under oath to
obey, support, uphold the law.
And to enforce its provisions.
There can not possibly be any
deviation from his duty and his
orders. He MUST make the law
enforcement his prime duty at
all times whether on duty or off.
He has no other choice except to
resign, which is an indication of
cowardice, or favoritism, neither
of which may be tolerated for a
single instant. -
If a child is guilty he needs
punishment and should receive
it. If a child refuses to obey his
parents and does as he wills, it
may be to the detriment of others
than himself, then he is guilty
and is far on his way to become
a 'delinquent.'
The court s are lement with
such children. I say 'children be
cause the law has been held to
include all persons under 21
years of age. Many of whom
should be far enough in the teens
to carry himself with honor. I
know quite a few of the Medford
city police and I can think of
none I should fail to trust. They
are courteous, kindly, sympathet
ic, but firm, as they must be to
be good officers. My hat is off
to them.
As a rule a delinquent child
has been neglected, and permit
ted to 'run wild.' Psychiatrists
and psychologists are 90 per cent
to blame for the parents' neglect
of their children.
They teach that a child must
be permitted to express himself,
"he must not be punished," 'let
him do as he pleases.'
Does such teaching make
sense? Solomon was held to be
the wisest man on earth. What
did HE say about unruly child
ren? "Spare the rod and (you) spoil
the child." As a result we are
prone to let the child go as he
wills. Does that make sense? No
it makes juvenile criminals;
potential thugs and murderers.
Better to have the police take
charge now before it is too late.

Everything Is Too High
To the Editor: This may un
load a bomb, but here goes.
Saturday my husband went to
the Country Club which has the
only golf club (course) in the
city, with the idea in mind of
playing about nine holes of golf,
which is a good, clean,, healthy
sport in any man's class. Upon
arriving he was told he could
not play. They would not honor
a card from a very fine club in
Portland for a minimum fee, but
for $3 he could play nine holes,
if he were from out of town.
Of course since we're just
plain, poor, respectable people,
(and Americans) . who can't af
ford the exorbitant spr ice to join
the club, but still like to get out
in this highly over-emphasized
Oregon sunshine and hospitality.
Maybe they are afraid the turf
might wilt and die where hi . trod
or he might tear it up. So far
the courses he has played on still
remain in excellent condition,
no worse for the games played.
Would like to state, too, that
although we aren't in the upper
500 or even 300 bracket, we do
live, buy food, clothes, pay
taxes, visit the dentist and doc
tor, in this gracious city, which
all goes to enlarge the purse
strings of those who can sit back
in their seat of glory and say,
"Pay us more or go home. You
aren't entitled to fresh air and
recreation. You don't belong!"
In other words, perhaps you
can't buy enough refreshments
and spend enough to suit us, we
don't want you! . ,
Am wondering why , the city
of Medford does not put in a
course of their own where a man,
woman or child could play for
a minimum amount. There are
plenty of golfers in this com
munity and the city has plenty
of ready property which could
bring the city a neat sum of
money. Let the Big Wigs sit in
their smug circle but it's about
foundation of NATO's primary
objective might be weakened fa
tally.
This objective is to provide a
defensive screen of armies and
air forces sufficient to slow up
a mass Russian attack on West
ern Europe.
The fear has subsided some
what. There seems to be a grow
ing feeling that Macmillan took
the 'only course open to him, con
sidering the necessity for sharp
reduction in government spend
ing. But Soviet Russian fear seems
to be intensifying.
The chief reason seems to be
the realization of the threat that
nuclear weapons bases in NATO
countries would present to Rus
sia if World War III broke out.
Russia's fear is being shown in
an incessant stream of warnings
time there was something for
the Common Man, who like the
farmer is the heart of a com
munity, and his son, in this high
ly glorified valley. It might help
to reduce juvenile delinquency.
Is there no tolerance? Only
recreation for a few, even the
theatres are far too expensive
for our young boys and girls.
Think it over, folks, the ex
orbitant high prices for every
thing is the total sum of this
valley. Delinquent boys and girls
have you ever stooped to
wonder why as well as criticize?
: Oh that's right, we are al
lowed a walk in the sun (pro
vided it shines). That's for free
or a minimum fee!

Verses for Beck
To the Editor: These verses
would seem to be in line with
your editorial on the Dave Beck
situation. If you can use them
I'll be happy to have you do so.
"BECKED"
We've acquired a new word
That's sans aU respect
When we want to say "gyp"
The synonym's "BECK."
When we find that some crook
Has feathered his nest
We ruefully say
I guess we've been "BECKED."
The sad part of it is
AU over this land
The teamsters he gyps
May also be "damned."
Let us hope they will rise .
And throw off his yoke
And strip him, if guilty
And send him home broke.

Defends Mayor Schrunk
To the Editor: The editorial
in last night's Oregon Journal
brought again to my mind the
Tweed-Crocker New York poli
tical machine in the late 1870s
when Josiah Gilbert Holland be
came aroused over the crimes of
character assassination and
wrote the immortal poem
"Wanted, A Man." Three weeks
ago, I read on the floor of the
Central Labor council (Portland)
that poem. Changed the plural
to the singular and told the audi
ence we had a similar example
here in Portland, over Mayor
Terry Schrunk that they had
back in New York 87 years ago.
I agree most heartily with
your editorial. Am enclosing 25
cents to cover two copies of that
issue of your paper to place in
the permanent clipping file for
Senator Wayne Morse's Wash
ington office.
E. C. Ferguson, who died in
January 1956, was a member of
my Morse Telegraph club as a
consequence I have always had
a deep feeling for the Mail
Tribune.
This was written and inspired
by the passionate sense of out
rage at the crimes of Tweed
Crocker political machine in
New York, in the late 1870s. It
might have been written for a
"Time Like This," in 195787
years later.

The Norman Outrage
, To the Editor: D-. Norman is
a symbol of what the United
States of America has become,
to our everlasting shame, as are
the Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, Rob
ert Oppenheimer, and would like
to do to Robert Hutchins or any
one who thinks for himself. We
have become a nation of para
noics led by paranoics. Our feet
are on the road that Hitler trod.
Last Thursday, April 4, Eger
ton H. Norman, Canadian ambas
sador to Egypt jumped from a
high building in Cairo and was
horribly kiUed because, as he
stated in the letters that he left,
he was accused of being a Com
munist by the Un-American
Committee of the United States
Senate. What sovereignty have
we over a Canadian citizen or
British subject living in Cairo,
Egypt, or over the Egyptians?
After being cleared by the Can
adian government and apparent
ly by ours, the American charges
were re-published March 14. Due
to the earlier smear, Dr. Norman
lost his U. N, post. You would
have been stronger than he was?
Maybe not. Every human being
has his breaking point. The
United States at present is try
ing to push a great many people
to their breaking point, whether
they are guilty or not, by smear
tactics. Sleep well, Senators.
You cannot harm Dr. Norman

Music Is an emotional experience. Its therapeutic value has long been recog

THE LAST OF MCCARTHY?
Washington The suddenness
and completeness of the eclipse
of Sen. Joseph McCarthy has
been, of
course, a ma
jor n a t ional
p h enomenon.
After his cen
sure by the
Senate he dis
appeared from
public view as
quickly as
midget golf in
xi .t'i:
Stewait'AHop ie uui ues, or
mah-jongg in the twenties.
The question is whether he
will disappear politically once
and for all next year, when he
must run again, as mah-jongg has
disappeared; or whether, like
midget golf, he will continue
to exist as a local, largely un
noticed phenomenon. The ques
tion is ,an important one for the
Eisenhower a d m i nistration in
general and President Eisenhow
er in particular.
Tne President's sentiments to
wards McCarthy are, of course,
no secret. Presidential Press Sec
retary James Hagerty went out
of his way to make public the
snub administered to McCarthy
when he was the only member
of Congress not invited to the
White House last year. If Mc
Carthy is renominated by the
Wisconsin Republicans the Pres
ident will certainly be asked an
embarrassing question whether
he endorses McCarthy's can
didacy. There would be precious
little weeping and gnashing of
teeth in the White House if the
question never arose. '
IT MAY not. Former Gov. Walt
ter J. Kohler of Wisconsin
has told friends that he has vir
tually decided to take on Mc
Carthy in the Wisconsin Repub
lican primary "I feel like a fire
horse smelling smoke," he says.
Kohler may yet change his mind
he backed down in 1952, after
he had almost made up his mind
to challenge McCarthy. But this
year is different.
Kohler knows that his running

Editorial
Comment
ABUSE OF SENATORIAL
POWER
Adverse publicity linking him
with Communism given out by a
U.S. Senate committee was the
proximate cause of the suicide of
Canadian Ambassador Egerton
H. Norman in Cairo, Egypt, but
the probable cause lay deeper,
the prolonged strain accruing
from representing Canada at this
point of prime pressure in world
affairs. . This was noted by his
superior, Lester B. Pearson, min
ister of external affairs for Can
ada. He was deeply distressed by
the revival of old accusations of
which he had been cleared by
his own government. After the
Washington report his govern-,
ment renewed its expression of
confdence, as did the Canadian
Parliament, but Norman evident
ly brooded over the charges until
his self-control snapped.
-The incident raises a serious
question over the propriety of
the American report. It related
to circumstances well in the past;
it referred to a man not a citizen
of the United States, an official
of a friendly government. Far
better to have transmitted the
information to Canadian officials
than to have published it in this
country, without giving Nor
man any chance for a hearing.
Nothing has been gained by
the statement of the Senate com
mittee. Canada has been deeply
offended its note in protest was
said to have been extraordinari
ly severe in tone. And a man as
signed to a very important duty
has been degraded to a point
where he sought escape through
suicide. This seems to have been
an abuse of senatorial power
and an unnecessary affront
to a very friendly power,
gon Statesman, Salem
tional Committee will intervene
directly in the Wisconsin pri
mary. And Kohler also knows
that McCarthy is far weaker
than he was when he was rid
ing high in 1952 when Kohler
ducked a fight with him.
' McCarthy still has the support
of the Wisconsin Republican fat
cats, with the possible exception
of the astute Tom Coleman. But
it is a much more pallid and
less passionate support than it
used to be. And there are signs
of rank and file revolt an anti
McCarthy Wisconsin Kohler-for-Senator
club has already been
organized, for example. The gen
eral consensus is that Kohler
would win in a straight two
man, primary fight, even if Mc
Carthy, as is probable, had the
endorsement of the regular Re
publican organization.
ltfcCARTHY might be saved,
" however, by the entry of
Rep. Glenn Davis into the race.
Davis, who used to be accounted
a McCarthy man himself, would
cut somewhat into the McCarthy
vote. But the McCarthy vote is
solid at the core, and Davis
would hurt Kohler more than
McCarthy.
But even if Davis saves Mcr
Carthy in the primary, Mc
Carthy's troubles will by no
means be over. The Democrats
have three potential candidates
eager to take on the once-powerful
demagogue State Sen. Gay
lord Nelson, William Proxmire
(who almost beat Kohler for the
Governorship), and Rep. Henry
Reuss, who beat the McCarthyite
Charles Kersten hand down in
1954.
Reuss, who is probably the
most formidable of the potential
McCarthy challengers, has said
frankly that he hopes McCarthy
is nominated he would be a far
easier target than Kohler. Mc
Carthy, in fact, was not a
strong candidate even in his hey
day in 1952 he ran a third of
a million behind his ticket.
PRESIDENT Eisenhower's trou
bles with the lunatic fringe
of his own party will not be
over, to be sure, even if Mc
Carthy is brought down. The two
other members of the anti-Eisen-h
o w e r right-wing radical tri
umvirate, George Malone of
Nevada and William Jenner of
Indiana, both also up in 1958,
are considered safe for renomina
tion and election. Jenner is still
an important symbol, largely be
cause he called Eisenhower's old
patron, Gen. George Marshall,
a traitor..
But the central symbol Is cer
tainly McCarthy, who gave Eis
enhower more "trouble in his
first term than any other man,
Republican or Democrat. And
the shrinking down of McCarthy,
which has been as peculiar : a
process as the shrinking down of
a human head by Ecuador's Jiv
aro tribe, has been, in a sense,
one of the great achievements of
