MAIL TRIBUNE Pursuit of Happiness The Declaration of Independence declares that one of the inalienable rights with which the Creator has endowed mankind is the right to the "pursuit of happiness." The pursuit of happiness, and happiness itself, are not the same thing. There are some who would say that a completely and continuously happy group of people is a worthless group of people. They would say there is more genuine satisfaction to be obtained from seeking happiness than in remaining in a con stant, and stagnant, state thereof. We count ourself among them. "THERE are, we venture, things more important than " happiness. Happiness is a comparative state, anyway. And we would account a man who had done a difficult and objectionable task, and therefore was filled with the pride of accomplishment, far happier than one who had spent an equal amount of time in witless euphoria. Disciplining a child is a difficult task for a loving parent And it's tough on the child, too for the moment. But how much better is the discipline for the child than for him to face a future without the knowledge and skill and understanding that only discipline in the early years, and self -discipline later, can bring. A CHILD too much protected and too much pam- pered is a child who is not equipped for the realities of adulthood. Does an indulgent father "buy" his son out of trouble? If he makes a practice of it, the son will be that much less a man, later on. Does a mother argue that her "baby boy" should not have to do all that tough old homework? She may be depriving him of the very tools he needs to enter a rewarding career. Does a teacher let a child "get away with murder" because she won't take the time to straighten him out as to his obligations, and the rights of others? He may, eventually, believe he can indeed get away with murder. IXfE HAVE nothing against happiness itself, at "7 all. But we do point out that there are degrees and kinds of happiness, and that the best kind of all, the truest, is happiness which is deserved and earned. By twisting definitions, we suppose an individual who subsists on tranquilizers (or "happy pills" as some call them) could be said to be in a state of happiness. But he is a man without motivations, without am bitions, without the drive to accomplish good and useful things. He is a man whose "happiness" is at the lowest possible level a lack of unhappiness. True happiness, on the other hand, is a vibrant, positive thing, resulting from hazards conquered and difficulties overcome. That is why happiness is more apt to come to him who "pursues" it, in the constitutional sense, than to him who sits and wishes for it. E. A. The Sun and the Weather Meteorology is far from an exact science. But it certainly has progressed from the days when an examination of the innards of a sacrificial animal resulted in forecasts of weather and success in battle. Today 24-hour weather forecasts can be depended on rather more than three-quarters of the time, and the short-range frost forecasts we hear in Jackson county at this time of year have an even higher degree of accuracy. DUT every once in a while comes a startling and sudden change in weather patterns which meteor ologists thus far have been unable to explain. Perhaps, however, they can be blamed on the sun. Researchers at the High Altitude Observatory of the University of Colorado have found a high degree of correlation between "solar upheavals" and the behavior of air masses on earth. Dr. Walter Orr Roberts, .writing in the Scientific American, says that once a month, on the average, the earth intercepts a great jet of electrical particles hurled into space by the sun. Systematic surveys of the weather show that definite breaks usually follow these interceptions. THERE are other aspects to the studies. Some sci x entists believe that long-term changes in drought and rainfall patterns are the result of changes in solar activity. This brings with it the prospect of forecasts of the kind of thing which led to the "dust bowl" of the 30s, and the five-year drought in the midwest, only now being ended by heavy spring rains. These would be based on the long-term trends on the sun, which solar specialists can foretell. And incidentally, one of them predicts a return to colder and stormier winters in the decade or two just ahead. E.A. For Further Understanding One of the world's most distinguished physicians will be in Medford tomorrow to speak at the annual meeting .of the Southern Oregon Child Guidance Clinic association. He is Dr. Brock Chisholm of Victoria, B.C., for mer director-general of the World Health Organiza tion, who also is a psychiatrist, philospher and author. Dr. Chisholm's topic is a timely one "Growing Up in a New Kind of World." . - Wednesday, April 24, 1957 iWEll,0Ol? DOlTRVTDfMHyfflBUFe'? Dot?...' Tables Turned in McLeod, Boien Cases Washington U.R) An ironic twist of fate will be unfolded soon in the U.S. Senate. The principal characters are Charles E. (Chip) Bohlen and Scott Mc Leod, two of President Eisen hower's recent diplomatic ap pointments. Four years ago almost to the day the Senate was engaged in a hot argument over Bohlen's fitness to be ambassador to Moscow. McLeod, new State De partment security officer and a former FBI agent, claimed to have found derogatory informa tion against Bohlen. i The tables now have turned somewhat. McLeod's nomination to be ambassador to Ireland is being attacked by Democrats who claim he is unfit to serve in such a role. Those Republicans who opposed Bohlen's appoint ment as ambassador to Moscow four years ago are voicing their opposition again to his nomina- Editorial Comment ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? If a Christian man will have a full conception of why he was brought into this world and what his purpose is in this world he must in this one week of the year ask himself some penetrat ing questions. He must put to himself the most important of all questions: I profess to be a Christian, but am I . truly a Christian? This is, you must see, the ques tion that overrides aU others. If all the people who professed to be Christians acted as Christians many of the world's greatest problems would not exist. If all the men who profess to be Christians lived by the teach ings of Christ this world, would not be a Utopia. All evil would not be removed. But it would be a far better world. Those who pot only professed but practiced Christianity would be so intent upon doing all they could for others, that they would have no time to look for the weaknesses in others,, to gossip about the errors of others, to defile those with whom they dis agreed, to be jealous of the more fortunate, to speak hatefully of those whom they profess to be friend. No one knew better than Jesus Christ the innate weaknesses of man. Recognizing them, he spoke warnings against them. He set down for mankind a creed 'by which men could live and could attain everlasting life in the Kingdom of Heaven. We ponder often upon the teachings of Christ and His hopes for mankind as we see and hear His laws offended by people who profess to be Chris tians. These are the people who need to talk to themselves and their God today. These are the people who make life all the things that it should not be. These are the people who com mit so many despicable acts up on their fellow men, acts of which only a heathen should be guilty. These are the people for whom it is difficult to find for giveness because they know they do wrong. They know the teach ings of Christ, yet they offend them. It is to these people that we say: Search your souls as you approach this Easter Day. Pendleton East Oregonian. WE TALK much of days. When we do, who have not adiusted to in truth, a new kind of world. No one,' we suspect,, knows all the answers. But whether one believes in the psychiatric approach, or the woodshed approach, or some other, we can ill afford to pass up any chance for furthering our under standing. That is why we hope Dr. Chisholm's audience to morrow night will be a large and representative one. E.A. ... :. ... . ! tion to be ambassador to the Philippines. Senate Hearings Set Hearings on both appointments will be held about April 30 by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The hearings are being called after more than 30 other recent diplomatic appointments have been approved without question. Bohlen's backers don't relish seeing the veteran career diplo mat subjected to another ordeal where his security again would be questioned. Aside from voic ing some complaints, they may be willing to take it easy on McLeod. The Bohlen case of four years ago is still somewhat of a mys tery- Republicans generally com' plained he had been too close to previous Democratic administra tions despite his career status. Getg Clean Bill But the late Sen. Pat McCar- ran (D-Ner.) charged in the Sen ate on March 20, 1953, that Mc Leod had been "unable to clear" Bohlen "on the basis of informa tion received from the FBI. Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R- Wis.) said he had known for years about Bohlen's FBI file. He said calling Bohlen a "secur ity risk" was "putting it too weak." Secretary of State John Foster Dulles assured the Senate For eign Relations Committee that an FBI investigation left' "no doubt" Bohlen was loyal and no security risk. There is no doubt McLeod felt strongly about opposing Bohlen's appointment. He took his case to the White House going over Dulles' head. John R. Beal, a recent Dulles biograph- er, wrote that "McLeod's insub ordination" so angered Dulles he almost fired McLeod. Dulles Flying To Germany for Talks Washington (U.R) Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles will fly to Germany next week for important AUied talks on Moscow's recent atomic threats and Britain's proposed defense cuts, it was learned today. Administration officials said Dulles plans to leave Washing ton on Tuesday for Bonn, Ger many, where the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Council holds its spring meet ing May 2-3-4. Moscow's recent campaign of atomic threats against Amer ica's NATO partners gives extra importance to Dulles' mission. His job will be to reassure this nation's 14 NATO associates the United States will not forsake them in the face of Russia's threats. The first step in Dulles' cam paign was taken in his foreign policy address in New York earlier this week. He noted Soviet rulers were pouring out "abuse and threats" as the free nations strengthen their de fenses. "But we can, I think, be con fident that such Soviet assaults will not disintegrate the free world," Dulles said. "Collective defense measures are here to stay."

It adds: Besides paying income tax. social security and sales tax, the CITIZEN is also absorbing the federal bite on corporate earn ings. For example: The foundation's report shows there are 151. SEPARATE TAXES in the price of a single loaf of bread. rpHAT is to say A Putting it in simpler and plainer words Taxes are a part of the cost of doing business and HAVE TO BE ADDED TO PRICES. Other wise everybody who makes andor sells anything would go broke.. Every time you buy any thing You pay your share of the taxes of everybody who had a hand in the making and the transportation and the selling of whatever it is you buy. If we'd all put that fact in our pipes and smoke it, ; we'd have a better understanding of why prices are high and getting higher. MORE about business: Frederick Mueller, assist ant U. S. secretary of commerce for domestic affairs, went out on a long and teetery limb in Washington and told reporters who were interviewing him that most small business failures re sult from bad management He added: "Small business is not as bad off as many small businessmen (and politicians) would have us believe. Most failures are MAN AGEMENT failures failures of persons who started in busi ness without the knowledge or ability to succeed." yHAT is "management" abili- It'sard to define. I suppose the simplest definition is this: Management ability is the abili ty to go on taking in more than is put out. Dickens' Mr. Micaw ber put it like this: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nine teen six, result happiness. An nual income twenty pounds, an nual expenditure twenty pounds and six, result misery," IN EVERY hamlet and town in America there are families that even in these days of high cost of living get along nicely on $75 a week. There are other families that seem to be always in debt and trouble on $150 a week. This being true, what will happen if the politicians get their way and the government lends EVERY small businessman all the money he thinks he needs? I wouldn't know. But it is reasonably certain that even in that event there would still be business failures.

START NOW Save 11 II oil can security treaty, the future of the island of Okinawa and Ja pan's relations with Communist China. Adenauer is still worried over the prospect that Britain, France and also the United States may withdraw a substantial part of the troops they now maintain in Germany as part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces. As part of the question of Jap anese rearmament, Kishi wants to revise the Japanese-American security treaty. Part of this pic ture is the fact that the United States still maintains about 100,- 000 troops in Japan. Another part is that Okinawa, 325 miles south of the Japanese home islands, now is one of the most important military bases in the world. Japan is looking forward GOP Faces Conflict Between Platform, Sentiment in 1957 By RAYMOND LAHR United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The GOP seems to be running into a con flict between its 1956 campaign platform and its reading of grass roots sentiment : in 1957. This same challenge to two of the platform planks also raises a threat to President Ei senhower's legislative program which seeks to carry out these pledges. A week end back, Chairman Meade Alcorn of the Republican National Committee confessed that the Omaha regional GOP organizing conference had turned up much opposition to foreign economic aid and fed eral aid for school construction. He said these findings would be included in a report to the White House after the party or ganization completes its spring series of regional meetings. Commitments Made The 1956 GOP platform con tains statement: Newsprint Demand Increase Predicted New York (U.R) World demand for American and Can adian newsprint will increase 70 per cent by 1965, the American Newpaper Publishers associa tion reported today. In a 40-page study distributed at the ANPA's 71st annual con vention, the association said the demands on North American newsprint producers will reach an estimated 11,175,000 tons an nually by 1965. The continental manufacturing capacity last year was 7,868,000 tons. The study credited the growth of population and greater space demands by advertisers for the record demand for newsprint in this country. It said U. S. news papers will need eight million tons of newsprmt by 1965, com pared to current consumption estimated at about 6,900,000. Many Chinese Reds Said Dissatisfied Tokyo (U.R) Red China's leading newspaper admitted to day that a lot of Chinese are dissatisfied with the Commun ist system, but it warned Peip- ing leaders to use a velvet glove approach to the problem. The Peiping People's Daily said in an editorial reported by the Communist New China News agency that a gap has de veloped between the people and their Red leaders because of the upheaval of China's economic, social and cultural life under Communism. It said there was no doubt the "new social system" will win out in the end, but it will take some time. 42-Year-Old Man 'Shot' Dead by Steamroller Liverpool, England (U.R) George Sale, 42, was "shot" dead by a steamroller Tuesday. Police said the steamroller was crushing rock when a sharp piece of stone flew from under it and pierced Sale through the heart. A STEADFAST PURPOSE to serve every family according to their dictates, and finan cial means, has made possible the success of this organiza tion for more than twenty two years. C M.

Main ASHLAND We Never Close States Reviewed to the day when it may regain sovereignty over the island. Increased Trad Conceded The most important immediate question in Kishi's mind will be Japanese trade with Communist China. The United States has re luctantly agreed that demands by Britain and Japan for increased trade with Red China must be conceded. An interesting part of the Ger man and Japanese situations is that these countries the two chief enemies of the United States in the last great war are actively rearming not only by the consent but by the urgent re quest of the , Western Allies. The rearmament of Germany and Japan is especially interest ing when it is remembered that they above all other countries, have a long history of militarism. "Four thousand communities . . . encouraged our Republican administration to urge a five year program of federal assist ance in building schools to re lieve a critical classroom short age. The Republican Party will M renew its efforts to enact a pro gram based on sound principles of need and designed to encour age increased state and local efforts to build more class rooms." And this one: "Technical and economic as sistance programs are effective counter-measures to Soviet eco nomic offensives and propa ganda. They provide the best way to create the political and social stability essential to last ing peace." Change Of Sentiment? These commitments were ac cepted by the GOP before Presi dent Eisenhower sent Congress a 72 billion dollar spending bud get, including $1,750,000,000 for foreign economic aid and 183 million dollars for school con struction. During his reelection cam paign, Eisenhower said he would ask Congress to telescope his , five-year school program into four years. He has since asked Congress to authorize spending $1,300,000,000 in four years for aid to schools. He also has re peatedly defended the foreign economic aid program as vital to the national security of the United States as a weapon to check the spread of Commu nism. It remains to be seen whether the sentiment found at Omaha will appear at the other region al conferences, particularly those where the Eisenhower brand of "Modern Republican ism" will be stronger than in the Midwest. The next meeting is scheduled for Providence, R.I., next' week end for the New Eng land states. POOR RELATION! "It's keen to long since I could afford to have my hair done right . . .
