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.

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.

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."

Tax note:
A private tax foundation
(created to study the problems
of taxation and its impact on
EVERYBODY) savs in a rpnnrt
that taxes direct and HIDDEN
are costing Americans about
one-third of their yearly in
comes. 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.

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.

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

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

of need and designed to encour

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.
