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

This piece today will be a
shorty travelogue, covering
Highway 97 from Klamath Falls
to Bend, thence by the North
Santiam route to Salem and
from Salem on in to Portland by
way of the Baldock freeway.
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?

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.

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

optimist could have descriDea

cent fishing day, but the lake

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.

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.

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

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.

from a recent N.R A. bulletin
which carries quite a strong re

to allow the subject races to pos

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

of the past. Let us not allow our
selves to fall in the same lot with

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
