MAIL TRIBUNE
State Public Power?
Herbert Lundy, editor of the editorial page of the
Oregonian, under a 3-column head 'declares i40re
gon's apathy about its vanishing supply , of electric
power from the federal Columbia basin system is
beyond understanding."
It is.
As Editor Lundy points out because of this public
indifference and the state of Washington's interest
and enterprise, our neighboring state to the north is
scheduled to get not only more and more power but
cheaper and cheaper power. Oregon, on the other
hand, will be getting less and less, because as Mr.
Lundy points out, quote :
"Most Oregon residents are served by private utilities."
B
UT when it comes to
scale, as would be expected of an OREGONIAN
"editor," horror is expressed.
We again quote:
"Oregon will have to take other means of obtaining its
share of the federal generation, for there is little support for
public power at the consumer level."
.
THERE is little support for this ANYWHERE.
Even "TV A," long anathema to the present admin
istration as "creeping socialism," does not sell 'di
rectly to the consumer, but entirely to,4local coopera
tive distributing systems.
However there is, we believe, public supportfor
federal power as represented by a single high gov
ernment dam on the Snake and a John Day federal
project on the Columbia.
Editor Lundy, however, believes that under the
present political pressure 'for "economy" in Wash
ington, any appropriation of funds for such a project
would be unlikely.
That is probably true. But why not make a try?
As the Oregonian editor admits if no one else
does build at John Day, the Government "probably
will," eventually.
However, because of the urgency of the matter
Lundy asks why shouldn't the state of Oregon build
the dam?
His answer is it should. And with the formation
of a State Power Commission, he says, it could.
e e e e
"IITELL, that would be Ok by this department. It's
" a little difficult to see why public power on a
state level, differs in principle from public power on a
government level; but the main necessity, as has so
often been stressed in this department, is not only
more power, but cheaper power, and soon, not in
the distant future.
If a State Power Commission, in alliance with
some PUD in the state of Washington (for power),
and with the federal government (for navigation)
would supply this critical public need in the SHORT
EST POSSIBLE TIME, we can see no objection to it.
e e
COME people may well ask how the state of Oregon,
which is having such a tough time to balance its
budget, and even more difficulty in the realm of tax
reduction, COULD afford to do what our immensely
rich and powerful government-could not.
The answer is that on EITHER level, public power
is self-liquidating. In other words, the state or the
government would not be out of pocket a cent but
would merely have to use its credit, over a period of
years, for more power, cheaper power and vastly in
creased promotion of the public welfare. The dam
would pay for itself. R.W.R.
Eventually, But Not Now
Nearly every day some Teamsters' local, votes to
give Dave Beck the big boss the "heave-ho."
Well if Dave Beck goes, Jimmy Hoffa, and the
"bookie" Brewster should not be far behind.
DUT the more one learns about the exact status
D of the Teamsters' union and the nature of its
constitution, the less promising is any quick "riddance
of such rubbish," in the near future, at least.
As Victor Riesel, the New York reporter, blinded
by a splatter of acid in his f ace explains in the Ore
gonian the Teamgters' union is not based upon demo
cratic principles but on pre-historic feudal ones.
e e
rAVE Beck is the "lord" of the labor manor, or
in modern terms the "Big Boss" Messrs: Hoffa
and Brewster are second in command and members
of the powerful barons.
A CCORDING to Riesel and he SHOULD know,
"the 1,500,000" hard working members of the
"Teamsters" have just enough rights to pay their
dues. That's all. '
. Like the vassals of old, they get well cared for,
their living standards are raised and assured, they
are protected from abuses by the "crown," but they
have no more to say about who should run their union
than the vassals had to say about who should "live
in the castle on the hill" or at St. James.
But so long as the "running" is satisfactory to
them (the members) there is or has been until veiy
recently no particular complaint.
e
THE lords and barons, it seems, are selected at a
union convention. But, according to the same
source, the members of that convention owe their
positions to. the local executive council, the council
members owe their positions to the local "president,"
and the local president had the support of the regional
chief. But the regional chief made it only because,
quote:
"He had the nod from Brewster, Beck and Hoffa."

Today and
By Walter
THE BRITISH WHITE PAPER
London A full explanation
of the new British defense pol
icy, which was set forth in an
official White
Paper last
week, would
have to in
clude a review
of what has
hap pened in
world politics
during the
past seven or
eight years.
Walter Lippmann me review
might well begin in 1949 when
the Soviet Union broke the
American monopoly of atomic
weapons. This enormous event
precipitated the race in nuclear
armaments and in guided mis
siles. For Britain particularly, with
her large committments and her
diminished economic resources,
this revolution in the military
art has posed a problem which
has to be met. Britain cannot
afford, indeed there are no na
tions which can really afford, to
finance the full development of
the new weapons while
maintaining at the same time
conventional, but up-to-date,
armies, navies, and air forces.
For Britain, and indeed for all
the countries of Europe and
Asia, the new weapons have
raised the question whether
there is in fact any such thing
as defense, in the ordinary sense
of the ability to repel an attack.
If there is no adequate defense,
then there is no security except
the prevention of nuclear war
by deterrence on the one hand
and by diplomancy on the other.
For a number of reasons Great
Britain has been the first of the
big powers to speak distinctly
and openly about the complex
problems which are posed by
this military revolution, and to
reshape its own military policy
accordingly. There need be no
doubt ih our minds that this
White Paper will have an in
fluence beyond Great Britain on
military thinking and planning.
The document is unusually can
did and explicit for an official
statement. But time win show,
I imagine, that there is a lot
to be read between the lines.
a e
THERE is, for example, the
blunt statement that "there
is at present no means of pro
viding adequate protection for
the people of this country against
the consequences of an attack
with nuclear weapons," and that
therefore "the overriding con
sideration in all military plan
ning must be to prevent war
rather than to prepare for it"
"That is a very big thing
for the British government to
say. The practical military con
clusion they draw from it is
that Britain must have some
deterrent nuclear power of her
own if she is not to remain
wholly dependent upon the
United States. But what the
British are saying will be read
in countries which' are no less
defenseless and yet quite incap
able of acquiring any deterrent
nuclear power of their own. s
The British conclusion de
pends, so-1 gather, upon a cur
rent assumption that the United
States is ahead of the Soviet
Union in the race to produce
guided missiles of intermediate
range, and that in not too long
a time the United States will be
able to supply Britain and the
NATO countries with these mis
siles. If this fundamental as
sumption is correct, we are en
tering a period which may last
for a few years in which the
balance of nuclear power win
be theoretically and statistically
inclined against the Soviet Un
Lm
Dave Beck and the Beck machine are concerned. 1
As previously indicated in this department, it is
going to take more than a few "local" protests, it is
going to take a rank-and-file grassroots revolution.
But that revolution, as we see it, is not so improb
able as might be assumed. -
After all we are not living in the 12th. century
but the 20th, and we are not even living in the days
of Tammany and bosses Tweed and Crocker, but
the days of a free democracy, and such leaders of
DEMOCRATIC LABOR as AFL-CIO president
George Meany and head of the auto workers like
Walter Reuther. ' .
- They are, we believe, just as much against the
outdated anti-social feudalism of the Becks and
Hoffas, as are the rank and file of the right-thinking
American people, in unions or out of them.
So while no informed person would question the
power and resourcefulness of the Beck-Hoffa ma
chine, or the difficulties confronting any successful
court action, one important thing should not be for
gottennamely the. terrific force in a democracy
of an aroused public opinion.
And in spite of Editor Lundy's public apathy
that passes understanding as far as public power is
concerned and similar apathy regarding the' South
ern Pacific outrage for that matter, we have a
veiy strong conviction there is no such apathy as far
as the Beck brand of labor feudalism and corruption
is concerned.
- It may take a longer time than most people expect,
but eventually it is the conviction of this department,
at least, that Dave Beck and the methods he repre
sents,, are eventually bound to go, to the repudiation
and oblivion where they belong. R.W.R.
Tomorrow
Lippmann
ion. For, again theoreticaUy, the
Soviet Union will be within
range of the intermediate mis
siles which are based in Britain
and Western 1 Europe whereas
the United States would be some
what less vulnerable.
TtTANY of us, myself included,
'- do not think such theoretical
calculations are reliable enough
in the real world to be taken
very seriously as a basis of prac
tical policy. But the assump
tion that the United States has
a lead in the field of intermedi
ate missiles is very much in the
minds of the military planners
all over the world. Britain, for
example, would in any event
have had to reduce its military
establishment and its overseas
committments. But the inter
mediate missiles, which are
promised for delivery in the
five-year period during which
Britain is to reduce its military
forces, can be cited to support
the claim that the overall power
of Britain relative to the Soviet
Union will nevertheless not
have been reduced.
It is most probably, too, that
the Soviet warnings to Norway,
Denmark, the Netherlands and
to Western Europe generaUy are
addressed primarily to this prob
lem of the intermediate missiles.
Quite evidently, Moscow is gen
uinely disturbed at the prospect
of being encircled by a ring of
guided missiles with nuclear
warheads, especially if for some
years to come she will have no
comparable power to strike at
the United States. The Soviet
warnings contain big threats of
what would happen if intermedi
ate missiles were launched from
Western Europe. But it is only
fair to note that there is no sug
gestion in these - warnings that
the Soviet Union is considering
a preventive attack if the mis
siles are actually installed in
Britain and elsewhere. Such a
preventive attack would of
course bring into action the Unit
ed States, and it seems that the
Soviet Union has no intention,
indeed, quite the contrary, of
starting a great war.
e e
IF THE basic assumption of a
temporary Western superior
ity is sound, it means only that
our diplomatic bargaining pow
er, which has fallen so low since
Hungary and the Suez fiasco,
may for a time ' be somewhat
restored. But the advantage, if
indeed we have one, will how
ever be temporary and short
lived. For the Soviet Union will
assuredly catch up with us if
indeed she is lagging behind.
One would feel better about
all this if in London . and in
Washington the directors of our
diplomacy were willing to think
as freshly and frankly as were
the authors of the British White
Paper on military policy.

Look in the Mirror
. To the Editor: There was a
touch of irony in the announce
ment Thursday that the Kiwanis
club had formed a committee to
curb juvenile delinquency by
getting the purple literature off
the newstands.
According to the 1957 World
Almanac, the sales of Confi
dential magazine have now
passed those of Good House
keeping by a comfortable mar
gin. I am not prepared to be
lieve it was strictly the juveniles
who quit reading the Good
Housekeeping in favor of Confi
dential. Has the change in sta
tistics occurred because our
high school boys have lost con
fidence in Good Housekeeping
or because mother has changed
her reading habits?
The Kiwanis clubs are fine
and the majority of our newstand
literature rather horrible, but
when it comes to reforming our
youth, by raiding a magazine
rack let us quit kidding our
selves. Book burning never
solved any problem and forming
a committee never wrought, an
uplifting spiritual change. If
committees had such power we
should have a generation of
saintly youth, because there are
currently a record number of
groups, in excess of 150, working
to improve our youth . . . and
juvenile delinquency has never
been worse. Burn the books and
good riddance, but don't expect
it will reform the purchaser.
Haven't we, in reality, used
committee forming, group dis
cussing, and generous appropri
ation as a neat, comfortable im
personal escape from the real
problem? Namely, ourselves.
Every one of us.
If we wish to see the culprit
behind our children's problems
we don't have to go as far as a
New York publishing house. All
we have to do is take a long
look in a mirror. Police in a
headlined Tribune story blame
the parents with appropriate
name-calling, parents blame the
police and call a few names of
their own. People without chil
dren recommend more beatings.
People with children take one.
Social workers, juvenile officers,
newspaper editors everybody
blames everybody except him
self. It makes a lovely picture.
Something the young folks can
respect. ,
Right now' we are upset over
youthful reading matter but a
short time back when our High
school students asked for a better
reception at the Public Library,
their only source of free high
quality books, we stayed calm.
We told them we had the best of
library rules and we have to
protect those books.
We abhor cruelty and have
over 50 churches teaching Chris
tian kindness, but which one
among us spoke up when our 12-year-olds
were offered cash
prizes to chop the noses off por
cupines (some of which were
only stunned first)?
Soon we will be able to point
to a $90,000 juvenile "jaU" as a
symbol of our generosity. No one
will feel a pang of conscience
when he looks at it, no one of
us will feel searing guilt that it
was necessary" because it wasn't
our fault. Ask us.

Stedman Family Grateful
To the Editor: We are so grate
ful to the people of Medford and
the whole community for the
very generous check which we
received from the "Salute to Bob
Stedman" show and we thought
this would be the best way to
thank everyone who had any
part in making this show such
a great success.
Such a high tribute will be a
life-long inspiration to us as a
family and cherished as an ex
ample of the true friendliness
and good will of the people in
this valley.
The friendliness and concern
shown us has been no little fac
tor in Bob's steady progress to
ward recovery.
Our sincere thanks to each and
every one of you.

Speaks From Experience)
To the Editor: I am writing
this letter regarding the letter
last week that Mrs. Fields wrote.
She blamed the juvenile offi
cers for her son's wrong doings.
I know she is wrong as I also
have sons and I can speak from
experience.
I have four boys and the oldest
one got into difficulty a while
back. The juvenile officers and
Judge Hanna were more than
lenient. If I was in their place
I'm afraid I might not have been.
When boys and girls get in their
teens they are supposed to know
right from wrong, and use their
intelligence to do the right thing.
The way boys and girls figure
today, we parents are ancient
and we just couldn't understand
how they feel. We all learn by
experience and it is a very hard
teacher. In my belief they should
profit from their mistakes.
The boys and girls seem to be
battling against - something and
striking out at everyone and
everything.
My belief is that the American
father should stop'' putting him
self first and take the responsi
bility that he should in raising
the children instead of figuring
all he has to do is feed, clothe
and put a roof over his children's
heads. A father can give the chil
dren the love and companionship
and discipline that every child
needs.
Raising children today isn't
any different than many years
ago, only we weren't living in
such a fast way and neglecting
our children as we do today.
If more parents would take
their children and treat them the
way they would like, but still
hold a firm upper hand, I seri
ously believe that we wouldn't
need schools like MacLaren.
I think the best thing that hap
pened to my oldest son is when
he was sent to MacLaren on my
request for being truant. I want
my son to get an education and
discipline that I couldn't give
him. I feel he is going to be a
better citizen for it. I hope he
learns that the laws and offi
cers aren't too bad, that they
have a duty to perform and that
they do it.
I only hope that God watches
over other boys, like my son,
who are bullheaded and stub
born and they learn before it's
too late.

EAST WINS OVER WEST
The West has just lost a skir
mish in its long and seemingly
never-ending war for justice in
the matter of freight rates.
Sen Neuberger - offered , an
amendment in the U.S. : Senate
to repeal federal excise taxes on
transportation, amounting to 3
per cent on freight shipments
and 10 per cent on passenger
travel, that were imposed dur
ing World War II as a measure
to discourage unnecessary use of
transportation facilities.
This amendment, backed by
western senators, was defeated
along with several other simi
lar ones.
These excise taxes obviously
weigh more heavily on the peo
ple of the West, where the nor
mal conduct of business affairs
involves . greater distances of
freight shipment and travel,
than upon the people of the com
pact, thickly settled east.
These taxes amount to an ex
tra aggravation of the freight
rates which themselves are in
large measure discriminatory
against the West.
The excise taxes, as Sen. Neu
berger pointed out, were im
posed in World War II -to dis
courage needless travel but have
remained in existence a dozen
years after the war ended as a
revenue measure which taxes the
West out of proportion to its levy
upon the East.
Sen. Neuberger reports that al
though the amendment was de
feated, it gained some influen
tial Senate support.
Although we may have lost
the battle, we may yet win the
war," he commented, adding that
he will continue to strive to
eliminate the unjust excise tax

Chemical utilization offers an

We offer our congratula

who, upon leaving the Medi
cal Center Building last week,
was overheard to report, in
tones of amazement and de
light, to members of her fami
ly in a nearby parked cu',
"I'm going to have a BABYl"
We continue to watch with a
certain incredulity the progress
being made in the M-T's face
lifting. The two pleasant and highly
efficient carpenters wljo are do
ing the lion's share of the work
keep tearing things apart, then
putting them back together
again differently, and improved.
The pounding, the sawing, the
moving of desks and counters
continues apace, to the discom
fort, but eventual benefit, of our
fellow-workers.
The removal of the front wall
of the main office was held up
until the weather bureau fore
cast warm, pleasant weather for
the following day. The following
day, naturally, turned out to be
cloudy and chilly, and the staff
worked most of the day bundled
up in sweaters and coats, blow
ing on their fingers as the noisy
wrecking bars and hammers op
ened the room to the street.
M-T employees were not the
only ones confused. The same
man has, over a period of years,
delivered our copy of a San
Francisco newspaper each morn
ing. He usually followed the
same routine opening the
front door, and plopping the
paper on the counter. ' :
Last week he opened the front
door and plopped the. paper
down where the counter, used
to be. It fell fluttering to the
floor. i . .
"Well," he said 9s he picked
it up, "changed things around a
bit, haven't you?"
The United Press carried en
its wires ' recently a story
about a woman who had been
hurt in an accident. Later it
developed the victim was not
a woman, but a man. So the.
U.P. dutifully carried another
story to correct this. Then at
the bottom, the teletype prin
ted out the words "Above cor
rects the sex of victim."

Among the members of our
staff is a young man who has not
been in Medford too long, and
who, until his recent acquisition
of an automobile, was almost
totally unfamiliar with the geog
raphy of southern Oregon .and
northern California.
He announced last week that
he was planning to visit Eureka,
Calif., and mentioned that he
planned to "go by way of Ash
land." A more-traveled colleague
took him by the hand and show
ed him to a map, which revealed
that you CAN get to Eureka by
way of Ashland, but that it's a
heck of a long way. '
