against it, at least the law was changed to make the
highway robbery legally WITHIN it. Nevertheless
from the standpoint of the public welfare versus
private profit conservation versus exploitation that
is what it was, "highway robbery" adding up to mil
lions and billions of dollars.
A ND then there came the "Hells Canyon" issue
where the same public welfare versus inflated
private profit principle was involved.
Thanks to Republican control of the Federal
Power Commission, the Idaho Power company was
given the "brass-ring," started to construct "three
small dams" on the Snake river, and the old pachy
derm executed a war-dance over this great victory
of rugged individualism over "creeping socialism"
for .the lasting benefit of the long suffering Ameri
can taxpayers, etc., etc.
D EMEMBER the argument?
Why make the taxpayers of the country pungle
up millions for PUBLIC power when the Idaho Power
company would do the same job and it would cost
the taxpayers NOTHING. That "listened well." But
as was remarked in this department at the time,
nothing was said about how much power would be
produced, or what' the charge would be to the con
sumer by a company which now holds the inter
mountain record for high rates. No that argument
was swept away by the siren song of "no cost to the
taxpayers and no increase of the public debt." The
fact that public power is self-liquidating as a loan
to be repaid and not a debt, was also lost in the
shuffle.
DUT,nov what do we see? "
The Idaho Power company is a powerful and
prosperous corporation, and should, like the equally
prosperous oil companies, be paying large income
taxes into the U.S. treasury as provided by law.
But will they? Not if the Republican administra
tion can help it and the administration can and
has.

very far from sure whether any
thing is presently intended be
yond a severe test of nerves. If
the young King holds to his
originally announced decision to
proclaim martial law if need be,
the present atmosphere suggests
that the opposition will fold up
its tents and steal silently away.
But when passions are 'run
ning so high, and orators busily
inflaming street crowds are in
turn inflamed by the crowds
response, no one can be sure of
future, develppmcnt, particular
ly since the man who will make
the final decision for the oppo
sition is not here in Jordan, but
in the President's office in
Cairo.
Equally, the Khalidi Cabinet
has not yet resigned as these
words are written. But it would
since have collapsed like an um
brella without any spokes, if it
had not been stiffened by the
young King's ardent resolution.
All depends on this boy, who
might in America be a light
weight quarterback on a junior
varsity football team, but in
Jordan has to call the signals
for his country's future.
.
fTTHE King's new-found resolu-
tion stiffened, one suspects,
by last week's bitter disclosure
of the treachery of his closest
fr'end has evidently come as
a sharp surprise to the pro-Egyp-
xians and their Left-wing col
iaborators. That is the lesson
one must draw, at .any rate,
from last night's background of
today's events.
Early in the evening, repre
sentatives of all parties belong
ing to the ' so-called National
Steering Committee met in the
drab National Socialist party
headquarters to hear the King's
and the government's response
to the resolutions adopted by the
National Steering Committee at
its Nablus meeting. The resolu
tions added up to a demand that
the King quietly cut his own
throat with a blunt knife after
handing over Jordan to the pro-
Kgyptians, fellow-travelers and
Communists.
But after talking with emis
saries of the Khalidi Cabinet,
the Steering Committee group
actually decided that they would
.shortly -gain their objectives. In
the early evening, therefore,
P0R the Idaho Power company will now be allowed
to write off as "depreciation for tax purposes,"
from 60 per cent to 65 per cent of construction costs,
which will add up to approximately a $300,000,000
gain to Idaho Power and equal loss to Uncle Sam in
tax collections, which is of course, a loss to the Ameri
can taxpayars, for what should be received but isn't,
will have to be made up by them.
DUT no one is going to jail for that tax "evasion,"
for that, is not only "within the law" but it is in
perfect harmony with the basic G.O.P. doctrine that
this country is essentially a "Big Business Country"
and that what benefits General Motors or any other
big business in powrer, oil, or what have you benefits
the country, and the people as a whole.
-
A LONG the same line several of the most powerful
" and prosperous oil companies in the country, will
pay no income taxes this year, or only a fraction of
what they should pay, thanks to special favors granted
by the present administration through the "depletion
allowance" eadeet. This "evasion" is based upon the
false assumption that the average life of a producing
well is approximately three years.
. i
SO ONCE again "it is nice to work if you can get it."
And the Grand Old Party HAS it.
But as indicated above, we believe the "day of
reckoning" is bound to come eventually, and it may
well be not as far off, as the skipper of this depart
ment now fears. R.W.R. ''

Then, at the palace, the King
informed the Prime Minister
that he could resign if he chose,
but that the watchword was still
no surrender." And as the

were again sent out. It was by
now "after midnight, which per
haps in part explains the quite
bloodless and relatively unim
pressive character ot todays
performance.
Organization of the demon-
jtiations was at least efficient.
In the boys' school near that
matchlessly bleak hotel, the Am
man Club, for example, the 15,
16 and 17-year-olds began to
assemble at 8:45 a.m., with their
leader, one of the teachers, or
ganizing them like an anxious
sheep dog.
At a little after 9 o'clock, the
first group of demonstrators as
sembled in the Salt Road and
began clapping their hands and
shouting rhyming slogans in the
best Agitprop" manner.
The schoolboys rapidly join-
ed them: and from the Salt Road
and other assembly points, the.
hard core of about 600 demon-)
strators converged on the square
in front of the post office. Here
a few policemen were waiting.
Stones were thrown. The police
abandoned the unequal struggle.
Two or three policemen even
tllowed themselves to be cap
tured and borne, like trophies,
on demonstrators' shoulders. Aft
er a half-hour of slogan shout
ing, the demonstrators marched
on the market area around the
Great Mosque.
Here there were some speeches
and a great deal more slogan
shouting; and here the demon
strating crowd was swelled by
new, unorganized recruits to
about 1,200 persons. By a little
before 11 a.m., it was time to
march back" up the Salt Road
again on the Premier's residence.
HALF-WAY there, in front of
the Amman Club, there was
a pause to hear a speech from
n balcony by a toadlike, bespec
tacled man whose main theme
was the shining loyalty of the
"King-betrayer," Maj. Gen Ali
Abu Nuwar. The young people,
who composed most of the
crowd, seemed to eat it up.
The last scene was in front
of the handsome, sober stone
building which houses the Cabi
net offices. Essentially, it was
more of the same. Various Baath

Replies to Attack
To the Editor: I have just sent
following wire to editor of Post
Standard newspaper, Syracuse,
New. York, in reply to bitter at
tack made upon Sen. Richard
Neuberger and myself in Syra
cuse speech:
"Understand that Ernest W.
Swigert, President of National
Association of Manufacturers,
spoke in Syracuse recently and
made his usual bitter and falsi
fying attack on Sen. Richard
Neuberger and myself. The com
ments reported in press, on Ore
gon election, are an insult to
intelligence of voters of Oregon.
Swigert's reactionary anti-labor
and anti-social record are well
known in Oregon and his politi
cal and economic philosophy was
once again repudiated by the
voters of Oregon in the 1956
election. His irresponsible tirades
against labor would seem to in
dicate that he doesn't like it
because workers also vote. What
Swigert does not seem to leal
ize is that an overwhelming ma
jority of America's businessmen
and business women, particu
larly small business people, do
not share his reactionary politi
cal and economic philosophy.
Likewise, farm groups, conserva
tion groups, teacher and other
professional groups, and con
sumer groups generally, plus
millions of liberal-minded Re
publicans, as well as Democrats,
in the nation, realize that Swi
gert's political and economic pro
posals are not in the best inter
ests of the general welfare of
the American people."

Juveniles Versus Police
To the Editor: And thank you,
Comrade Unger, for expressing
the sentiments of many of us
who are unable to state them
so well. It" certainly is about
time some voiced the interests
of those who have raised chil
dren with due respect for the
law and the rights of others.
Your letter in the Mail-Tribune
of April 23 regarding juveniles
states the case so well that it is
hardly necessary for me to add
anything thereto. The plain fact
is that for every juvenile de
linquent, there is at least one
parental delinquent, and not un
til those parents are made re
sponsible for the acts of their
children will the ever increasing
rate of juvenile delinquency be
stopped. But unfortunately this
is easier said tnan- done, ,ior
in order to. do so, one has to
combat a nation wide organiza
tion, that even those teachers
who dare to antagonize it either
change their tactics and play
along with it or they don't play
at all.
Medford, I am pleased to say,
has a chief of police who under
stands the basic cause of this
lawless tendency on the part of
so many of the youth of the
present time, and his force
is in hearty sympathy with
his views. But unless those
of us who believe in making our
children obey their parents and
show proper respect for the law,
their elders, and all property
rights, he and the Medford police
will not get very far, for- they
will face a very noisy and per
sistent opposition. Those who be
lieve that the schools and the
other agencies of government
should take over their obliga
tions are in the majority and
said all the obvious things about
the new "American imperial
ism," the essential importance
of their own return to public
office, and the vital need to have
Gen. Nuwar back in command
the Arab Legion. The demon
strators clapped and shouted
their "slogans in the intervals
when the speakers ran out of
oratory.
No one so much as jostled the
Arab Legionnaires lined up with
truncheons and ..basketshields in
front of the government office
building. The demonstrators did
not even look fierce, except
when the photographers told
them to. And it was all over a
little before lunch time.
"OUT although the Amman
' demonstrations ended quiet
ly, much more massive demon
strations are reported to have
occurred in the pro-Egyptian
Left-wing strongholds of the
west bank of the Jordan. Troops
and tanks still ring Amman,
holding the heights around the
city; and they still ring the westr
bank towns, too. And -the force
on the King's side confronts real
Xorce on the other side.
Among the pro-Egypt and Left
wing leaders and organizers
there are many who are venal
and corrupt. But among the
young people, whom they are
able to whip up into such storms
of emotion, there is no venality.
There is sincere, if misguided
conviction.
Furthermore, arms have been
smuggled from Syria and arms
have been sold notably by Maj
Gen. Ali Hayari to the support
ers of the Left-wing parties.
So the comparative tea party
we had today may turn into
something very different tomor
row. The test of nerves, if this
is all it is, is by no means fin
ished yet.

never fail to voice their views.
Only by standing firm and sup
porting our law enforcement
agencies, when they apprehend
and punish the lawless, and re

Aski Aid for the Deaf
To the Editor: As Honorary
Chairman of the forthcoming
National Hearing Week, May 5
to 11, 1 feel a great responsibility
to be more than a mere figure
head. Something of the magni
tude of my assignment came to
me when I learned that over fif
teen million Americans suffer
from some type of hearing loss.
However, the real challenge to
me is the shattering news that in
this vast hard of hearing group
are three million children!
It is therefore in their behalf,
that I am directing my energies
during National Hearing Week,
in the hope that through the col
umns of your paper and other
media, we may alert the families
and friends of these hard of hear
ing youngsters. We want to tell
them of the three-fold program
of The American Hearing Soci
ety, "sponsor of National Hearing
Week, and point out the hope
for the prevention of deafness,
the need for the conservation of
what hearing is still intact, and
the rehabilitation possibilities
for those whose hearing cannot
be -ostored.
I speak therefore for the one-
American-in-ten who is hearing
handicapped, and particularly
for those three million little chil
dren who face a lifetime of sil
ence in a sound-filled world.
Whatever you can do to help
give them a chance at happier,
healthier, more productive lives
will be greatly appreciated by
all of us concerned with this
campaign.
Thank you for bringing this
letter to the attention of your
mr xy readers. By placing it in
the Letter Box column of your
paper you will be making a gen
erous contribution to a great na
tional program.

A Hornets Nest
To the Editor: It seems I iiave,
unwittingly, stirred up a hornets'
nest. -
I assure both Mr.' Gabler and
Mr. Hurst that they have my
sympathy if they have been
abused or misused by the police
and other authorities of Med
ford, or Jackson county. I hope
they have misunderstood or have
exaggerated things, or are just
'trying me out.' I had rather It
should be the latter.
Let me tell you that I have
not been overlooked by the law
enforcement departments. I, too,
violated the law, and I, too, paid
the penalty exacted by the law.
For that I hold no resentment.
I was guilty, as charged, so why
should I be angry at the law?
The law officers were only carry
ing out the duties assigned them
I was used with civility
throughout the whole matter
There was no cause for anger.
Every organization has one or
more 'black sheep,' even to the
churches. . There are' NO excep
tions. Or,' at least, I have never
found one in all my 78 years.
On the whole, I have found
the Medford police of high moral
character, civil, and firm in the
performance of their duties.
More, you cannot ask for any
one.
If either or both of you have
been keeping track of events as
pertaining to juveniles you are
aware of the fact that delin
quency has been increasing with
wild fire speed. If permitted to
run its course we shall soon
have a nation of juvenile out
laws. Some one MUST do some
thing to check this course.
If. not checked in some man
ner then, with the adult crim
inals, we shall all be outlaws.
Is it coming to that? If the par
ents do not, and the law is not
to be permitted to do so, then
what can be done? And who is
to do the job? There must be
control from somewhere. What
do you propose? Have you some
thing constructive to offer? I,
for one, will be glad to have
some kind of a plan come forth.
One that carries some hope of
correcting the trend now on.
But, for Heaven's sake leave
the Psychologist and the psy
chiatrist out of it. Most of them
are not so long out of school
and have had no practical ex
perience in such matters. Espe
cially as they may not have had
any parental responsibilities.
Let no one get me wrong. I
feel deeply for the poor ju
veniles. After all, they are our
future officers for good or bad.
Let us hope it will be for good.
As an old educational instruc
tor I am deeply interested in
the welfare of all youngsters.
May they come through with fly
ing colors.
The Bible says: "As the twig
is inclined the tree will grow."

The week following Easter

while the domiciliary feeds the

much of anything. It has a
mate, incidentally, named Ca

the two always seem on the
brink of war.
Up until recenUy, we'd been
enamored of the name of one
of the country roads, which was
known as Sticky lane. The name
was graphic, descriptive and un- t
usual, and so seemed to fill all 1
the requirements for a satisfac
tory nomenclatural appellation.
Perhaps it was just too apt, for
the county court changed the
name the other day at the be
hest of the residents of the area.
It is now McLoughlin drive.
Since it has nothing whatsoever
to do with Dr. John McLoughlin,
it probably wiU . . . er . . . stick.
This reminds us of a public
school in Coos county which was
named after the area in which
it was located. Blossom Gulch

it, but the people who lived
there would have nothing to do
with that. Blossom Gulch it was
