Mayor George Porter protests against war department's con templated action in removing re serve officers who have had more than two year's active duty with the CCC. Stonington, Conn., May 19th: Needless to say this quaint fish ing village has not changed in four years, since it has not changed much in over 300 years. The chief purpose of the trip was to visit Pomfret where our oldest grandson has been attending school for three years, and is stroke oar on the fourth crew. He was on the second crew but for some reason not clear, he was with two others demoted just before the meet with South Kent. From what your correspondent could learn, there was a switch so as to stimulate the second crew to greater efforts at the more important meet. The fourth crew was not scheduled to perform, as South Kent did not have more than three crews, but at the end of the program, one of Grandson's husky mates came up all out of breath and said the fourth had been challenged by the alumni, so the proud family had a chance to see the "first born" stroke his "four" to an easy victory the boys are too young for 8's and the distances are less than a mile instead of four which is good sense. Was Grand Pappy PROUD to see how the stroke oar bit the water, and smoothly paced the boat at the proper sprinting clip?Q Pomfret School, like Andover north of Boston, Is beautifully placed on the highest point in the state (not as high as Roxy Ann, more like Blackwell hill). But on a clear day one can see the ocean, the buildings are in the best New England style, not as old or large as Andover, but equally well-equipped and attractive. The chapel impressed us as exceptionally suitable, and with a genuinely "Old English" and orthodox atmosphere. The head master graduated from the Thatcher School in California, a class mate of one of the Kenly boys, so we had something to talk about which is not always true of headmasters in this neck-of-the-woods. He seemed very young everyone but Methuselah does of course but very human, energetic and understanding. According to the students, the headmaster's wife is what in the good old days at Andover used to be called "a peach." All in all the editorial "we" were most favorably impressed with the school and the health, strength and development of the "third generation." Incidently Pomfret won all the races from South Kent, the only close finish being between the fourth crew and the Alumni. We naturally, were boosting for the "fourth", but as usual the underdog complex butted in and we were hoping South Kent would win at least ONE race, but surrounded by the Pomfret cheering squad we. decided to restrain our nonconformist slant, for the sake of the family standing. We motored up here from Stamford which we reach via the "New Haven" railroad vastly superior to the N.Y.C. and con tinued via the family "station-wagon" (the kind that Groucho Marx boosts) over hill-and-dale to the school. We have motored through Connecticut before, but were more impressed THAN EVER with its natural beauties, attractive homes, and above all its highways, four-lane free-wavs anr nrlOTMXricA THioi-n naA 4. 4. - - " "cic aic tolls to pay now and then, the highways are well-policed, the park ing strips are wonderfully planted and cared for as are the outside wilv, u urae are any sign Doaras at Aliii, we failed to note them.

If you're looking for speed, it isn't as fast as the Willamette highway route by way of Eu gene and the Willamette valley or the Warm Springs cutoff by way of Mount Hood. But it provides a pleasant change from the routine of these more heavily traveled routes and is well worth trying some time when you're not in too big a hurry.

Had dinner with the L. Carpenters last night. They have had pressing family and business matters to attend to here, but have wisely taken in the theatre after business hours, and their reports will aid us in selection if we ever get around to Broadway after sunset. ' ?i1!.,t?Uf,h 0f Nature is nt the only thing to make the whole world kin," one touch of tragedy does also. The case of Benny Hooper, who entombed in an abandoned well lor 24 hours, is now recovering in a Mastic Beach (L. I.) hos pital, is a case in point. This much maligned cosmopolis forgot night clubs, baseball and even Frank Costello, while the work of rescue was on. One member of our family (not inclined to be emotional) couldn't sleep much last Friday night, trying to think out the best plan of rescue, and when she saw the Herald-Tribune "banner'' next a.m. "Benny Rescued Alive," gave a shout of joy half choked by tears. She was typical of literally millions hereabouts. Yesterday Benny's pals in Mastic Beach brought in so many presents the uuapiuu nan 10 open a store room. There is so much more good will in the world than is usually expressed. Speaking of baseball, if Casey Stengel, famed boss of the N. Y. Yankees, knew the "jinx-power" of the undersigned, Jie would undoubtedly send us a season ticket. If we have ever attended a game ending in the "Damned Yankees" defeat we can't remember it and we believe if we HAD we would. Yesterday we saw the usual Yankee massacre by a score of 6-3. We thought Cleveland would at least give the perennial champs a contest but they didn't. They could make errors which let in extra runs but they couldn't hit their tin hats. Yet two days before when we were out of town and couldn't attend, Detroit took a couple. Perhaps we better stay away, and give the White Sox a chance. We have frequently scored the one-party press in Oregon for its refusal to give Senator Morse anything even approaching a fair break. He is, as far as they are concerned, damned if he DOES and damned if he DOESN'T. There isn't the same universal and un yielding animus toward Dick Neuberger, Oregon's junior Senator, but as far as papers like the Roseburg Review are concerned, there is no quarter for Senator Neuberger either. If they praise him at all, they damn him with a faint quality of it. We are closing today's discourse with the following letter from our junior Senator, quote: To the Editor: I hope you will have an opportunity to look at this summary (enclosed) of my testimony on May 13 before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health grants for the fiscal year 1958. In my opinion, this particular proposal is the most important legislation I ever have sponsored, or possibly could sponsor. The bill seeks $500 million for special programs of the National Cancer Institute, on a continuing basis. These are programs such as chemotherapy, in which startling discoveries have been made and where a major break-through is actually possible if every ave nue of potential significance is explored and tapped to the utmost. The idea has the support of such men as Dr. Sidney Farber, of Harvard Medical School, one of the world's great cancer specialists and the man who has the heartbreaking but crucial task of heading the Children's Cancer Hospital in Boston. Dr. Farber told me on May 9, "Senator, I could not continue to try to care for children who are doomed to die, unless I felt that somewhere, somehow, we would make a break-through which would spare other children this fate." Dr. Farber thinks the proposal so important, because the funds would be available until spent. They would not have to be con sumed in any one year. The directors of the National Cancer Insti tute would know they could continue special programs, expand special programs, keep skilled medical researchers on the job from year to year striving, seeking, attempting to solve this terrible dilemma of medicine and of cell growth. ' Try to give us some help if you can. If our government can spend $44 billion on armaments, why not dedicate half a billion dollars to try to solve the mosj terrible threat to every person on the face of this globe? Richard L. Neuberger, United States Senator A WORD first as to the weath er on this particular day. I suppose it could be described as perfect. At any rate, if you didn't like the weather prevailing at any given moment, just wait a couple of minutes and another kind would come along. For a while, it would be bright and sunny. Then it would start to rain. The rain varied all the way from small drops a yard apart to big drops coming down in masses. At the 4,900-foot summit, there was snow all around and the rain was Ibout half snow. Then - two minutes later the sun would be shining bright and warm. Monotony was cer tainly one thing there wasn't any of. rpHE NORTH Santiam highway -.v Oregon 22 on the map leads past Detroit Lake. Detroit Lake is formed by the Detroit dam on the North Fork of the Santiam river. The dam forms a lake perhaps a dozen or 15 miles long. But that statement eives only the sketchiest idea of the amount of water impound ed by the dam, which is stra tegically placed to take advan tage of a netwoik of creeks com ing into the main stream. The water backs up into all these creeks, providing miles and miles and MILES of attrac tive shoreline and goodness only knows how many acres of good fishing water. All of which, it should be add ed here, is speckled over with boats on any reasonably decent fishine Sunday. Only a hopeless optimist could have descriDea last Sunday as a reasonably de cent fishing day, but the lake was lull 01 Doaxs, anyway. goodly part of the time it rain ed bloody murder, but the fish ermen went right ahead with their fishing. Such Is the makeup of a fish erman that it wasn't raining rain to them it was raining daffodils, as the poet has it. To a blown-in-the-bottle fisherman, any weather when he can get away from his job and go fish ing is daffodil weather. rl THIS fabulous Western country of ours, where the outdoors plays such a BIG part in ours lives, we shivered in our boots a few years ago when pow ers dams in our rivers were first proposed. We thought: "Uh-oh, there goes LIFE, so far as we are concerned. These blankety blank dams will WRECK EV ERYTHING." It hasn't turned out that way. Shasta dam first tipped us off to the fact that we might have had things sized up wrong. Not only did it create Shasta Lake, which provides some of the fin est fishing in California, with wonderful recreational facilities thrown in for free, but it cooled off the water of the Sacramento river for miles below, thus mak ing far better fishing there. This Detroit Lake is a smaller Plight of the Jobless To the Editor: For the past six months I have been unemployed, the first time in years. Unem ployed persons are faced with many problems. In a nation of supposedly hu man beings pretending to set an example for the people of the world, how can so much suffer ing and cruelty as is being dish ed out to the jobless be passed over so lightly? The hopelessness of the situa tion is hard to fully understand until you are out of a job. May I ask, how we the unemployed are expected to keep our home fires burning, taxes paid, gas tanks filled when our unemploy ment insurance runs out? Why cannot the people of Ashland. Medford and the nation rise in arms and demand help for their thousands of jobless? ' Why cannot we the people of the Rogue valley carry our plight to the steps of the nation's capitol, meet the president face to face and ask why nothing has been done? A small boy fell in a well in New York state. We displayed it in great headlines across the front pages of our daily news papers. But thousands of suffer ing men and women crowd the doorways of the unemployment offices across the country and tirelessly wait their turn in line just to be told "we have nothing today." Not a single word of their plight do we ever see in print. Not one dime is included in the president's budget for the relief of the unemployed. As have said before why could not an unemployment insurance be created which would xover all unemployment, not just part of it? Thousands of dollars are spent every day for dog food. Dogs are treated with loving care and get all their vitamins, are usually sleek, fat and healthy. When hordes of jobless human beings, men, women and children, do not have adequate food. I do not think the problem would be hard to solve if Presi dent Eisenhower would do some thing. Single representatives can't do mush. Help must come from the nation's capitol, and soon if possible. Duncan McKenzie 260 Oak St. Ashland, Ore. arms out of criminals hands; to prevent taking game out of seas on and the everyday cases of vandalism where property is de stroyed or damaged by the use of firearms. Needless to say, the type of people who constitute this type of problem will be in evidence after a law such as this is passed as well as before. The only ones being hurt or penal ized will be the true sportsman; people that respect th'e use of firearms, the laws of the state and the rights and privileges of others. We all agree that there is a definite need for some type of law to control-the crackpot who is entitled to buy a hunting li cense every fall, borrow or rent a gun, load his pockets with am munition and then take off on a spree of needless and wanton destruction of life and property. To this type of individual, any and everything is fair game, namely road signs, bottles, win dows in deserted buildings, farm ers' livestock, and last, but most important, other hunters mistak en for game animals. Legislation of the proposed type is not, how ever, an answer to this type of problem. Laws of this type have been passed in our eastern states and have made owning a firearm, be coming proficient in its use, or deriving any pleasure from it, so complicated and costly that many true sportsmen have sold or disposed of their arms. . Disarming the American pub lic is something which we as citizens should never permit. It geant who killed a Chinese peep ing torn in Formosa. Japanese Case Serious The Japanese case has as sumed serious proportions. It is likely to strengthen the demand of the Japanese government for a radical revision of the mutual security treaty which defines the status of American troops sta tioned on Japanese territory. In the Formosa incident, the question of jurisdiction does not arise. American courts martial have full jurisdiction over all American soldiers stationed on the Nationalist stronghold island of Formosa. But unless the sergeant now on trial is convicted, and given a severe sentence, the National ist government is expected to ask for an agreement, similar to that reached with Japan, for ju risdiction- over soldiers charged with offenses against Chinese civilians. Last Jan. 30, Sgt. William S. Girard, of Ottawa, 111., was on an Army firing range near Tokyo. Several Japanese women tres passed on. the range to pick up empty shell cases, which bring good prices as scrap metal. The women ignored a warning to leave. Girard fired an empty shell case toward them from a grenade launcher to back up the warning. The shell case struck one of the women and wounded her fatally. Argument Theoretically Clear The wording of the mutual se curity agreement covering such cases is theoretically clear. A sol dier on duty is subject to Ameri can military, not Japanese judic ial, jurisdiction, unless it ' is agreed otherwise. But the Japanese hold that Gi rard was not actually on duty when he fired the shell case. They demand that he be turned over to a Japanese court for trial. An indictment for man slaughter has been returned against him. The situation has been com plicated because the American command in Japan agreed to sur render Girard. But Defense Sec retary Charles E. Wilson over ruled this decision and ordered that Girard be kept in Army cus tody. Administration Dispute Reported Tokyo dispatches report that there is a dispute between Wil son and the State Department, which wants Girard surrendered. On Formosa, the wife of M. Sgt. Robert G. Reynolds, of Co lora, Md., saw a Chinese man staring through a bathroom win dow at her home while she took a shower. Reynolds ran outside with a pistol and killed the peep ing torn. He said that he thought the Chinese was about to attack him. Reynolds is on trial by court martial, charged with man slaughter. The issue of court jurisdiction over American soldiers stationed in foreign countries has arisen previously in several countries. The agreement with Japan is similar to that covering Ameri can soldiers stationed in Euro pean countries which are mem bers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But the Japanese incident has become serious. Citizens-for-lke Has Money, Plans To Use It in 1958 Campaign Firearms Legislation - To the Editor: Recently all Oregon members on N.R.A." (Na tional Rifle Association of Amer ica) received a special bulletin outlining proposed legislation, which, if passed, would be a step on the ladder towards depriving all sportsmen of the use of their guns without a police certificate, or supervision by a law enforce ment agency. Though the legislature is al most over, this bill was just one of many that pop up now and then designed for the assistance of law enforcement agencies in the apprehension and conviction of law violaters; keeping fire- edition of Shasta Lake, and if you think it isn't used and ap preciated by the fishermen of these parts you ought to drive past it some sunny Sunday. AS industrial development comes in increasing measure to Oregon and particularly to Southern Oregon we get scar ed. I think our fears are largely groundless. If we handle things right, I'm pretty sure we can have our cake and eat it too. We can have industry and more jobs without losing our woAderf ul troit Lake are beginning point that out to us. to We would gladly give all help in our power to such a worthy cause, and might add it is one of the few strongly supported by Senator Neuberger in the finest tradition of non partisan objective public-service. But we shall be pleasantly surprised VERY if the Oregon press as a whole gives it strong editorial support or any considerable space in its news columns. One might think in the fight against cancer, party considera tions would be cast aside, but where Senators Neuberger and Morse are concerned they certainly haven't been, and as indicated, judging the future by the past, they soon won't be. However, in this particular case we are confident the people of Oregon as a whole, REGARDLESS OF PARTY, will do every thing in their power, to aid Senator Neuberger in his effort to see that his "crash program to conquer cancer" is properly supported, properly finance and is passed! R.W.R. By LYLE C. WILSON -United Press Correspondent Washington OPI The poli tically off - beat organization known as Citizens - for - Eisen- hower has money in the bank and plans to spend a lot of it in next ye ar's c o ngressional campaign. C-for-E was set up in 1952 with two ob jectives. It reached both. They were (1) to raise money from sources which regular Republican organizations is one of the privileges which we could nt taP afd 2 to rally tmorinc oninv anri rn that voters who might not respond to mad and kPDt us strone and . regular Republican campaign ef- Lyle C. Wilson free. Let me here quote a paragraph from a recent N.R A. bulletin which carries quite a strong re minder in itself. "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to pos sess arms. History shows all con querors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared thir own downfall by doing so." Adolph Hitler. Now once a law of this type gets a foothold it is only a matter of time until our having any freedom whatsoever with the guns we possess will be a thing of the past. Let us not allow our selves to fall in the same lot with ourmeighbors in the east or over s e a s where hunting, target practicing or even owning fire arms is a luxury enjoyed by a privileged few. Let's all get together when legislation of this type comes up and kill it but fast. D. H. Steinmetz 419 De Barr ave. Medford, Oregon Tourists Will Be Ambassadors of Good Will Abroad Washington (IF) A million Americans are about to be draft ed to serve as "ambassadors of goodwill" abroad. If you're plan ning a trip to foreign lands, con sider yourself selected. This unpaid special duty will begin when you board a ship or plane. You'll receive from the steward or purser a "make a friend" pamphlet. From that point on you'll become a key figure in President Eisenhower's "people to people" program. Major Contribution The program's transportation industries committee,- one of 41 private groups working on the outdoors, anasta Lane and ue-fccampaign to win friends for forts, The events of 1958 will prove, of course, whether C-for-E cam paigning is on the professional or the amateur beam. On the am ateur beam, the organization might use its funds in an effort defeat some of the congressional Republicans who have been op posing the President. The United Press is informed that Citizens - for - Eisenhower would not be so engaged in 1958. Three notable Republican sen ators who aften have given Ei senhower the back of their hands will be up for .reelection - next year. They are: Sens. John W. Bricker (Ohio) William E. Jenner (Ind.) and George W. Malone (Nev.). These men are conservatives, who spurn new party labels such as the modern Republicanism with which the President seeks to re christen his party. As of now, however, it is not likely that Citizens-for-Eisen-hower money and efforts will be used against these senators or against any Republican candi dates next year.' The organiza tion's purpose, instead, is to de vote its funds and efforts sole ly to the electibn of Republicans more closely associated with the White House program. It will be an all-out, big mon ey effort, from which candidat es such as Bricker or Jenner, for example, would benefit indirect ly. For every dollar contributed by C-for-E to the election of an Eisenhower Republican candi date would free regular party funds to help any or all other Republican candidates. Political Dollars Short There is a political saying to the effect that money may not be everything, but it is' way ahead of whatever may be in second place. Regular Republi can and Democratic organiza tions are having trouble now raising funds Republican region al meetings reflect that. Several Republican state chairman re ported last week end in Cincin nati that they were having diffi culty getting up the money. They attributed this in considerable part to grass roots dissatisfaction with the Eisenhower budget. Citizens - for - Eisenhower has $200,000 banked in New York. Q-for-E came out of the 195(j campaign with 141 sub-organizations throughout the United States. The combined resources of thewjarent and subsidiary or ganizations is about one million dollars with more to be raised. That money, professionally ad ministered, will be a campaign factor next year.
