Editorial Correspondence
Green River, Wyo. (en route to New York) May 5th Did you
ever hear of traveling East to go West? Probably not but that is
what your correspondent has been doing the last two days.
Here we are in the real buffalo-and-cowboy West sage brush,
alkali and scrub pine with herds of cattle in the distance, aban
doned chuck wagons and sod huts here and there. Yesterday we
were not in the Far West but in that modern and prospering sec
tion of the UJ5.A. known as the "Pacific Coast"
In Medford and Portland we might as well have been in Can
ton and Cleveland, Ohio, but here in Green River we could be no
where but "where the West begins" or ends. And it was the
same all of today through Idaho which with the exception of Sun
Valley hasn't changed much from a car window at least in fifty
years. '
'
Those who haven't motored from Medford to Portland in the
past four or five years (as we haven't) have a pleasant surprise in
store. With the exception of Eugene (and soon-to-be-Medford) the
good old highway "99" is built now upon the sound principle that
the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Also
that hills, corkscrew curves and busy towns, large and small, are
to be avoided like the plague. In short Mr. Baldock and the vari
ous state highway commissions under him have done a magnifi
cent job and deserve the gratitude of all motorists.
We were fortunate enough to have one of the best "drivers" in
Jackson County at the wheel, a smooth running and commodious
station wagon (it was a nearly new Ford, please pay the cashier
for the "ad" H.C.) and without taking a chance or exceeding the
speed limit at any time, our running time from the MT to the
Union Station in Portland and the Union Pacific's streamliner of
that name, was six hours. .
Yes, "Time marches on" and its graph-line is almost constant
ly upward in spite of dips and speed demons and overturned cars
(we passed one of the latter en route and the rescuers working so
feverishly to right it strongly indicated there was still some poor
human, or humans, inside! However we did not stop, for either
way our services were no longer needed). .
But to return to "Father Time" we recalled on this jaunt our
first motor trip to Portland in "Model T" Ford, when it took "Ye
Editor" 3 days; with hard work fixing tires and pushing from be
hind we made Glendale the first day! (As far as motor transporta
tion is concerned "them" weren't the GOOD old days.)
In Eugene we stopped for lunch and a look at the Kentucky
Derby via TV. We placed a sentimental and purely imaginary
wager on "Bold Ruler," and as usual were glad it was the latter,
for the. best our favorite could do even with Arcaro up was to
come in 4th. '
We were informed in Eugene incidentally that our No. 2 city
in Oregon (ahead of Salem now by a few hundred) will soon be
by-passed by "99" as are Cottage Grove, Albany and Salem, which
will, we imagine, not give our home -town with its mid city via
duct any favorable advertising not with long-distance motorists
at least. .,

on the City of Portland, there is on the City of San Francisco.
.
The motor trip to Portland reminded us of the first trip we
ever made in Oregon from L.A. to Seattle. It was after the S.F.
"fire" when only a few movie companies had moved to Holly
wood, and there were practically no oil wells in operation. South
ern Cal impressed us mainly as a desert with no future, while in
Seattle it rained all the time. We were mistaken on L-ai Dut we
decided if we ever did move to the Pacific coast we would choose
Oregon for that seemed like home, fresh and green, no bare
deserts, mountains and no drizzle. Coming from Illinois it seemed
more like "home."
Well that motor trip yesterday with everything green and the
dogwood blooming, the sky blue and the sun bright, made a simi
larly favorable impression. The landscape won't be so alluring
three or four months from now, but as of today Oregon does look
like the promised land of "milk and honey," and if you are plan
ning a motor trip north, our advice would be not to delay too long.
Here in Wyoming it is cool and partly sunny, and we notice
what we noticed in Oregon yesterday, far more sheep than cows
or cattle. That is just a car-window impression of Vourse, but it
may mean that sheep are coming in as a profitable two crop in
vestment (meat and wool) whereas the bovines represent, as far
as cattle are concerned,- only one.
. a
The season here is far behind the season on the coast, there is
plenty of water, creeks are near their banks, but the land as the
miles pass by at increasingly higher speed, continue bare and
brown, with scarcely any green spots showing, up hill or down.
We met the "City of San Francisco" at Green River, a much
longer train than this, which started for the East five minutes be
fore we did, and is due to arrive in Chicago about an hour earlier.
We had a 15 minute stop and a chance to look over the City of SF
a bit The two trains can't compare in general attractiveness, the
City of Portland spick and span new, with a beautiful dome car
diner, and apparently fresh from the shcjps, wins in a walk. The
City of SF looked shabby in contrast.
. ..
Back from the coaches, which are well filled, there are only
Pullman bedroom cars, which are not. But we have never cared
much for crowds, except at shows or sporting events, so the fewer
the merrier, though we don't suppose the Union Pacific high
brass anymore than the S.P. like the idea. There is this im
portant difference, however, ie U.P. maintains its excellent pas
senger service whether it pays as a single operation or doesn't.
The S.P. at the first sign of red ink anywhere turns up its finely
manicured toes and quits. (Or it tries to except in California where
at least it hasn't succeeded as yet.)
We were accompanied by a member of the family who lives in
New York, and always flies when he travels but this time decided
to take a chance and relax. He is enjoying himself hugely and we
took the opportunity to suggest that this business of always being
in a hurry to garner in an extra buck is both suicidal and self
defeating. He smiled and nodded he is always very polite but
he belongs to the airplane age, and we don't expect him to aban
don the credo, that the important thing is how QUICKLY you
can net there, and not in what shape you are when you. arrive,

Matter of Fact
IN THE KAABA'S SHADOW
Beirut, Lebanon The latest
and not the least extraordinary
scene in . the vast Middle East
ern drama has
n o w b e e n
played in
Holy Mecca,
a c c ording to
dee ply inter
esting and ap
parently auth
entic recent re
ports. The cause of
Joseph Aisop the scene was
King Saud of Saudi Arabia's
discovery that the Egyptian mil
itary attache in his capital was
briskly engaged in organizing
and financing armed leftwing
terrorist activities ultimately di
rected against the Saudi Arabian
government. King Saud's emo
tions, on learning of this latest
manifestation of the loyal affec
tion of his Egyptian ally, can be
easily imagined.
Because of his discovery King
Saud refused to receive Egypt's
President Nasser when Nasser
wished to confer with him about
the Jordan crisis. He was too
busy, he said, making his de
votions in Mecca. Therefore Nas
ser sent his satellite, Syrian Pres
ident Shukri Kuwatly, whom
Saud particularly likes, to con
ciliate the Arabian King by all
means possible.
The means adopted was not
to deny the activities of the
Egyptian military attache, which
were .undesirable. Instead, Nas
ser's knowledge of those activit
ies was passionately denied.
pi PART, at" least, the grand
denial scene was played in
the very shadow of the sacred
Kaaba, where King Saud had
gone to pray. And at one point,
apparently, an Egyptian mem
ber of the delegation accompany
ing President Kuwatly actually
Clutched the Kaaba's great em
broidered curtain, to give force
to his oath that Egypt's right
hand knew not what Egypt's left
hand did. -
The -Episode so completely be
longs to the oriental U dition of
Middle Eastern politics, that its
hard practical significance may
perhaps escape attention. But it
has the very greatest and hardest
practical sign ificance all the
same.
The discovery of an Egyptian
military attache in full career
as a leftwing terrorist organizer
is not the truly significant fea
ture. Indeed, this has become
almost a monthly occurrence in
this part of the world. Already
there have been similar episodes,
usually with such melodramatic
trimmings .as the disclosure of
large bomb or dynamite caches
in the Egyptian officer's posses
sion, in Libya, the Sudan and
Lebanon. And in Jordan, the
Egyptian military attache, Fuad
Hilal, was well known to be a
leading organizer of the plot
against King 'Hussein.
THE real point of the marvel
ous scene in Mecca was,
rather, the sharp emphasis it
gave to a major reversal of the
role that is deeply affecting the
whole Middle Eastern political
situation.
' It was not so long ago as
late as last September in fact
when Egypt's military attaches
and other agents were working
all over : the Middle East, in
closest collaboration with the
Saudi Arabian embassies. Not
to put too fine a point upon it,
Saudi Arabian money was every
where being used to finance
Egyptian political and propa
ganda activities Fur thermore,
the largest of King Saud's dollars
was going to extreme leftwing
Arab Nationalists, anfl particu
larly to the Communist-linked
Baathists, in Syria and Jordan.
Very probably, indeed, the ter
rorist bands which the Egyptian
military attache was training
and equipping in Saudi Arabia
were originally intended for ex
port. They were only turned
against King Saud' himself when
the King finally grasped the
danger to his own government
of the pro-Egyptian, leftist and
revolutinary activity that his
dollars were paying for in so
many other countries.
THIS important awakening oc
curred last October. But it
is now abundantly clear . that
for wmd que for wof
By Joseph Alsop
when King Saud turned off the
tap of his oil-earned dollars, the
Egyptians at once called on the
masters of the Kremlin, who
turned on the tap of their ruble.
The same underground, terrorist,
pro-Egyptian activity that was
once financed by Saudi, Arabia
is now financed by the Soviet
Union.
This raises two kinds of ques
tions. First, the changed rela
tionship between King Saud and
Nasser, like the Jordanian crisis,
raises the gravest questions
about the future of N a s ser's
quadripartite Arab alliance of
Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi
Arabia. Second, Nasser's vastly
increased dependence on the
Soviets raises even graver ques
tions about the extent to which
he can still be considered a free
agent. But answers can only be
attempted in a : subsequent re
port. (c) 1957, New York Herald

Accept His Laws
To the Editor: The recent
articles in the M.T., about the
agreement the Ministerial As
sociation had reached in regard
ti, the best plan of increasing
their membership,, and the
article from the Pendleton East
Oregonian, "Are you a Christ
ian," were very interesting. The
old plan of working on the emo
tions of people to get them to
join the church and become
staunch and lasting members
have not been very successful.
The attitude of a person can be
come favorable to religion by
hard luck stories, but after
some time the story, is forgot
ten and then there is very little
left to live by.
The new plan is to get mem
bers by preaching and teach
ing the facts of the Bible. How
ever, it would seem if all the
teachings and laws given to us
by Jesus and his Apostles' were
accepted and which are so in
terwoven with one another it
would have to be as Jesus said,
"One Lord, one Faith and one
Baptism." Christianity in our
time is also lacking in the lead
ership recorded in Eph. 4:11-14
and Eph. 3:18-22, and the church
to function in the acceptable
manner to God, is through the
Priesthood, which is the power
of God delegated-to man to act
in the ordinances and laws of
his church and kingdom, Matt.
16:19 and 18:18. See also.Heb.:
5:4. Christianity of our time has
also drifted away from the fact
God is Just and would not con
demn one who has not had the
chance to hear of the plan of
Salvation as the Bible teaches.
Hence, he provided the plan as
recorded in I Pet. 3:18-20 and
Chapter 4:6: Jesus said he came
that we might have a more
abundant life. And shortly be
fore he departed from his
disciples, He said, "Peace I leave
with you, My peace I give unto
you not as the world giveth,
give I unto you, let not your
hearts be troubled neither let it
be afraid." The last two World
Wars were fought principally
by the so called Christian na
tions. Surely they did not live
up to his requirements so that
there could be peace and the
abundant life he promised.
' How can we even expect to
have His blessings if we do not
accept all of his laws upon which
they are predicated?

To this end, they will fight
especially to get Deputy Premier
Zenon Nowak back on the Cen

after having been imprisoned as
a "Titoist"' one who, like Presi
dent Tito of Yugoslavia, refused
to knuckle under to the Rus

problems which might have
overwhelmend a weaker man.
He has had to contend with
a serious economic situation.
All the time, the "Stalinists"
who remain in the Polish Com

stubbornly against what has be

toward liberalization.
For the present, Gomulka's
position seems safe. The best the
"Stalinists" can hope for is to
make a comeback which will

start an organization to raise
funds, to create a memorial to
show our appreciation of his
tireless efforts, to preserve the
liberties of the people of Amer

the Senator in his methods, but
his sincerity ' was beyond ques

PARKING BILL
The Oregon Senate, under the
leadership of 'Senators Donald
Husband of Eugene and Harry
Boivin of Klamath Falls, has
passed a bill (SB 468) which will
allow cities to establish parking
districts.
This bill is premissive legisla
tion that ' will enable cities to
issue revenue bonds for off
street parking facilities which
would be backed by the taxable
property within the bounds of
the district. It relieves the neces
sity of issuing bonds which
would be a general obligation
upon the entire city for munic
ipal off-street parking. Presum
ably any parking districts
formed would be in the down
town core area of cities which
would be most directly benefit
ed by such facilities.
SB 468 could help relieve a
serious problem in many of Ore
gon's cities and should be pas
sed by the House. We hope the
House will give prompt consider
ation to the bill so that it won't
be lost in the shuffle of the
waning days of this session.

On one hand, Gomulka has

ers. On the other, Gomulka has
had the support of the Roman

In the Day's News
By FRANK
Two interesting questions:
What's wrong (moneywise)
with our government in Wash
ington? " .: .:
' Why does it cost -more than
it should thereby necessitating
the taking of too much money
out of the pockets of the people
money that otherwise they
would have left to SPEND ON
THEMSELVES?
Fi seeking an answer to . these
questions, let's take a look at
the case of Senator Williams of
Delaware and the $1508 he sav
ed out of his stationery allow
ance (for his office in the senate
building on ' Capitol ' Hill) by
NOT SPENDING THAT MUCH
FOR STATIONERY.
You will probably remember
(since it made quite a splash in
the news several weeks ago)
that he tried to turn the $1508
back to the treasury but was ad
vised that, under a recent rul
ing, if he did so the money
would be charged up to him and
he would have to PAY INCOME
TAX ON IT. . 'i '
This ruling was based on the
theory that federal funds left
in an individual's account in the
treasury have been "construc
tively received by him" that
the money is his for the asking,
even though not actively in his
possession.
THAT is to say:
If Senator Williams had
saved the money by not spend
ing it for stationery that he
didn't need, it would be pre
sumed that he put it in his pock
et. If he put it in his pocket it
would be money added to his
personal income, and as such, of
course, he should pay income
tax on it. But he didn't put it in
his pocket.. Instead, 'he tried to
turn it back to the treasury
but the act of turning it back
to. the treasury was proof that
he didn't spend it for stationery
(that he didn't need.)
It sounds screwball beyond
belief, but that is about what
happened.
rpHE interesting thing about ic
all is that it happened to
Senator Williams. He is the
country hay and feed dealer
who was elected to the U.S.
senate from Delaware a number
of years ago. He is the senator
who stirred up a lot of the dis
turbance over income tax kick
backs in the lamented mink
coat days and helped to put a
lot of the mink coat operators
where they belonged. ' .
Being Senator Williams, the
treasury's refusal to receive the
$1508 he was trying to turn
back in order to relieve the bur
dened taxpayers of at least that
amount of their burden didn't,
sit well with him.
So .
, ' Being Senator Williams
He kicked up a stink about it
-as he should have. The embar
rassed treasury department fin
ally came through with a ruling
that he can return the sum to
the treasury AS 5A GIFT FROM

Gomulka will get one bis
boost in September. Mao Tse
Tung, who seldom leaves Red
China, is to visit Poland as well
as Russia in September.
There seems to be a strong
feeling in Warsaw that if Rus-'
sia has any thought of trying
to oust Gomulka, either directly
or through the Polish "Stalin,
ists," Mao will discourage it
Gomulka may get his biggest
boost soon, however, from the
United States. Washington dis
patches say that an agreement
under which Poland will get
about 100 million dollars in aid
may be sighed at any time. That
will ease Poland's economic
plight at least, and the economic
situation is Gomulka's biggest
handicap.
JENKINS
Since the gift is to the treas
ury of the United States, he will
be relieved from the U. S. gift
tax and the $1508 (which was
government expense account
money that Senator . Williams
DIDN'T spend) will not be in
cluded in his personal taxable
income.
In that way, the body can be
disposed of.
