Walk Together; Talk Together
John Hansen, the young Dane who has spent the
past school year as a "member of the family" of Mr.
and Mrs. H. D. Christensen of Medford, will be re
turning home soon.
From what we have been able to learn of John
and his activities and friends here, his stay has been
a resounding success from his standpoint, that of
the Christensens, the high school, and his new friends.
This makes it a success for the American Field
Service, which is responsible for his visit.
THE AFS, we were surprised to leam, is the same
American Field Service which sent volunteer am
bulance drivei-s to France during World War I and
later in World War II. It has since broadened its
ideas of service and international friendship into the
sponsorship of these visits by young Europeans.
An exchange program recently was worked out,
for young Americans to go
period of time. This is the plan under which this sum
mer Dave Frohnmayer of Medford is going to Europe,
to live with a family there-.
In the fall, another AFS exchange student will
arrive in Medford to live for the school year.
XkTE believe the value and importance of these in-
ternational visits can hardly be overemphasized.
We wish they cpuld be expanded time and time
again, for they provide what is probably one of the
most effective means of international understanding.
The simple fact of finding out that there are
"other" ways of life, and that they have their own
benefits and advantages, is important.
But there are other benefits, and they are lasting
ones. We suspect that the John Hansens and the
Dave Frohnmayers of this year and the years to
come never will allow themselves to fall into the pro
vincial type of thinking which makes for suspicion
and misunderstanding.
THE American Field Service operates with a mini
mum of staff and a minimum of income out of a
small office in New York. Its funds come from do
nations many of them from organizations.
It maintains certain standards as to language and
background to pick youngsters who will benefit most
from their year abroad. It has standardized the cost
of an exchange visit at $650 which is the average
so that no host community will be penalized by hav
ing to pay more for a student from a greater distance.
In the case of John Hansen, the cost was sub
scribed by the Medford Rotary club, with funds
raised by its annual suit sale. The money goes for
transportation, some incidentals, and a small allow
ance for the student. The rest of the cost living ex
penses, school and so on is provided by the host
family, which is carefully screened before being
picked for the privilege.

relationship between the two. It is hoped the pro
gram can be broadened in coming years, and support
from the community at large wrould be welcome.
We can think of few projects more worthy of en
thusiastic help. President Eisenhower has declared
that, if it is carried far enough, it would be "an effec
tive agent in combatting
and will help eliminate the misunderstandings that
promote conflict."
One author writing
quotes an ancient Sanskrit
Walk together, talk together, 0 ye peoples of the
earth ; then and only then shall ye have peace." E.A.
Winnemucca to the Sea
Klamath Falls was host to a meeting of the Winnemuc-ca-to-the-Sea
Association. This organization wants to locate
and have constructed a highway from Winnemucca, Nevada
to the sea, via Klamath Falls. The KF Herald and News,
reporting the discussion, says the routing between the two
cities is uncertain whether via Alturas. Cal., or Lakeview,
Ore. No reference is made to the route from Klamath to the
Pacific. Maybe when those dried-out Nevadans see Upper
Klamath Lake they will be satisfied with that terminus.
The Winnemucca routing reminds us of a favorite story
of the late Gov. Earl Snell. how when a native out in the
high desert was asked the route to Winnemucca, he got so
confused in giving directions he finally told the inquirer,
"You can't get to Winnemucca from here." In reverse, it's
pretty hard to get from Winnemucca to the sea.
Oregon Statesman, Salem
A ROAD such as that mentioned above would be
" of benefit to the entire area through quicker, easier
and more pleasant transportation east and west. Too
long our emphasis has been on north-south routes.
As to the route from Klamath Falls west, logically
it will follow the newly-authorized line through Lake
of the Woods, Fish Lake, McAllister Soda Springs,
and Eagle Point. This road, which is low-standard
but usable now, will be improved until it is superior to
the twisty Green Springs route.
From Medford, it is less clear which way the route
should logically lead.
THE people of Cave Junction are strongly in favor
of a cut-off which would link the Oregon Caves
road and the roads in the Applegate above Williams
and Provolt, thence through Jacksonville to Medford.
Only a few miles separate these paved roads, and a
car can make it now, in dry weather. The Illinois
Valley boosters also want to see California dig a
tunnel under Oregon mountain, to eliminate the five
miles or so of curving grade on Highway 199.
There is additional talk, however, particularly in
the Grants Pass area, of a new road across the coast
range some people favoring Gold Beach as the out
let, others Brookings.
Which will be the final choice is still far from
certain, but the day is coming when the dream of
".Winnemucca To the Sea" will come time. E.A.

Congress Eyes Plan
To Inventory U.Ss
Recreational Needs
Washington (CQ) This
June. National Recreation
Month, finds Congress taking a
big step toward preserving the
wide open spaces for play.
The step is a nationwide in
ventary of the existing and po
tential outdoor recreation areas
open to the public. Legislation to
let a special recreation commis
sion make the inventory is on its
way through Congress.
The Senate Interior and Insu
lar Affairs Committee has agreed
to send the legislation to the floor
for a vote. Hearings already have
been held on the House side.
Chairman Gracie Pfost (D-Idaho)
of the Public Lands Subcommit
tee said the measure will get sent
to the House floor if her Subcom
mittee can find time to meet on
it.
The depth of proponents and
dearth of opponents is expected
to assure easy passage in both
the Senate and House once the
bill comes up for a vote.

Utilities and Taxes
To the Editor: Indications are
that some Oregonians still be
lieve people can support them
selves by 'taking in each others
washings.'
In a letter of opposition to my
views for public power in Ore
gon, I am advised that the writer
is 'happy to have a private
utility company in Jackson
County finding that these utili
ties are nice people to have
around for their tax-paying
ability.' Certainly a private util
ity would necessarily pay taxes
with funds received from sub
scribers to their services, and un
doubtedly those taxes are vitally
important and necessary to assist
in the support by welfare of the
many many people idle because
of lack of employment brought
about by the discouraging of in
dustry due to the extremely high
rates charged by that very priv
ate jtility The cat chasing
it's own tail or taking in each
other's washings
Oregon stands near the top as
to taxation of residents and cer
tainly each tax dollar is neces
sary to the support of the many
who cannot find employment ex
cept during summer months. Sev
eral hundred plywood mills, al
uminum smelters, p r o c essing
plants etc., would undoubtedly
alleviate this situation, but there
will be no such industry until
water and power is made avail
able to interested business at a
rate which will allow them to
compete with other markets in
other areas.
It is charged that to fight for
public power is to be a non
conformist. I am one non-conformist
of the category which up
holds peoples in lands where dic
tatorship threatens the kind of
non-comformist who will die
upon their feet rather than live
upon their knees. To sit in Ore
gon and do absolutely nothing to
assist her to her feet and to al
low a state welfare to support
one's family with taxes paid by
a monoply such as private utili
ties and say thank heavens they
DO pay taxes this is the kind
of conformist I shall never be
nor will any American citizen
who possesses an ounce of cour
age and foresight to the future
welfare of their children who
will become adults in the same
bad conditions as do now exist
in the state of Oregon unless a
few non-conformists do some
thing to change those conditions.

Sirontium-90
To the Editor: How much long
er can the United States afford
to ignore the very real danger
of Strontium-90? ,
Can we, in the face of mount
establish a 15-member National
Outdoor Recreation Resources
Review Commission composed of
eight Congressmen and seven
private citizens. There would be
four Democrats and four Repub
licans representing the House
and Senate.
An executive secretary and his
staff in Washington would carry
on the day-to-day work of the
Commission. Their assignment,
to be completed by Dec. 31, 1959,
would be to inventory outdoor
recreation areas and recommend
how the Nation can meet the
public recreation needs of 1976
and of 2000. The Commission
could ask Federal agencies to
declare certain lands temporari
ly closed to private development
as its inventory progressed. It
would then be up to the govern
ment involved local, state or
Federal to decide whether .to
acquire the land the Commission
recommended for public recre
ation. Cost of the inventory is esti-
ing international concern, put
forth such weak arguments as
the danger level of atomic fall
out is not anywhere near the
saturation point and that Russia
would blow us off the face of the
earth if we were to stop our test
ing? How long can we hide behind
this theory when our eminent
men of science and authorities
in military strategy all agree that
man must find a new way to
settle his disputes for even now
mankind is threatened by the
existing level of Strontium-90?
As for communism and her pre
sumed action, one can almost
be assured that Communist peo
ple like ourself want to live. By
destroying the United States with
H-bombs she can be almost as
sured of the eventual death of
her own people. Russia does not
desire an end to the world, she
wishes to promote her ideology.
Scientists in Britain contend
that in some areas the concentra
tion of fallout has already reach
ed the danger point and the Fed
eration of American Scientists
agree. Strontium-90 does not just
go away. . . it stays around for
something like 75 years. You and
I and every living person now
contain within our systems Stro-tium-90.
Can anything be worth the
havoc that more H-bomb testing
will bring? What great good wiU
the Christmas Island tests do for
man that will compensate for the
1,000 cases of leukemia that will
result around the world? What
wonderful thing will it accomp
lish that will make up for the
20,000 f e e b le-minded children
that will be born? What about
the 10,000 cases of bone cancer
of which your child may very
well be one?
These are the facts as present
ed by leading nuclear physicists
of the world These are the facts
as expressed by the men who
gave birth to the bomb and now
wish they had not. These men
are not alarm ists, they are
Nobel prize winners.
In the light of this overwhelm
ing knowledge what right has
any nation to split hairs over a
system of inspection? Those fam
iliar with the new existing mon
itoring system say that it is com
pletely adequate to detect all ex
plosions of one megaton size or
larger.
The one question above all
others must be the bomb and
what to do about it, anything
else is secondary. There is little
need to concern ourself 'with
the problem of education if there
are no children to educate or
they are born incapable of learn
ing. Strontium-90 is here to stay
. , .but are we?

Italian Cabinet Crisis Gets
Worse; Confusion Clouds View
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Italy's cabinet crisis is getting
worse instead of better as it
enters its eighth week. It seems
i n c r easingly
likely that a
special parlia
mentary elec
tion, one year
ahead of sched
ule, will be
n e c essary to
end the tangle.
It seems likely
also that soon
er or later a
Charles McCano
showdown will be necessary on
the constitutional powers of
President Giovanni Gronchi.
Gronchi's insistence on trying
to play the part of a "strong
man" in politics instead of act
ing as a figurehead, as he is sup
posed to do, has played a big
part in the political confusion.
Socialists Desert Him
Premier Antonio Segni re
signed on May 6 after the tiny
Republican Party and then the
larger right wing Socialist Party
deserted his Christian Demo
crats and thus broke up the gov
ernment coalition.
Adone Zoli, another Christian
Democrat, formed a cabinet on
May 20.
Zoli confined his cabinet to
Christian Democrats, hoping to
run the government with the
support of other moderate par
ties. Zoli managed to get a vote cf
confidence in the Chamber of
Deputies for his cabinet. Bu
there was a miscount of votes.
When the count was checked, it
developed that he got his ma
jority only because the extreme
right wing "Neo-Fascists" voted
mated at S1.5 million. The Rec
reation Commission could pay
states and private agencies to
help it.
Proponents of the bill include
such Government agencies as
the National Park Service and
U.S. Forest Service and such pri
vate organizations as the Izaak
Walton League of America, Na
tional Wildlife Federation, Out
board Boating Club of America
and the Wilderness Society. The
only argument heard against the
inventory so far has been the U.
S. Chamber of Commerce view
that the Government already has
authority to . conduct a survey
and therefore does not need new
legislation.
'Now or Never'
Those groups pushing for the
measure say reserving land for
the public is a "now or never
proposition. They point to miles
of honky-tonk boardwalk where
sand dunes used to be; to the
swelling numbers of people visit
ing existing public play areas
and to the stampede of . bulldoz
ers overrunning the few remain
ing primitive areas.
Statistics presented during the
hearings on the legislation dem
onstrated the increasing popular
ity of exisiting public outdoor
recreation facilities and the di
minishing amount of seashore
open to the public.
The U.S. Forest Service said
53 million persons visited the
national forests in 1956, three
times as many as in 1946. The
Forest Service predicted 66 mil
lion would use the forests in
1962 and 82 million in 1968.
Visitors to national parks
have increased from about 9 mil
lion in 1946 to 20 million in
1956, an increase of 123 per
cent. Olympic National Park in
Washington, for one, experienc
ed a 598 per cent increase in vis
itors over the ten-year period.
As for seashore open to the
public, a National Park Service
survey completed in 1955 show
ed that only 240 miles, or 6.5 per
cent, of the 3,700-mile shoreline
line along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts was open to the public. It
recommended Federal acquisi
tion of additional shoreline be
fore private developers take over
all suitable areas.
Its 1955 recommendations gave
"highest priority" to the acquisi
tion for public use of about 300
miles of seashore land in Maine,
Massachusetts, New York, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Texas. The National Park Serv
ice currently is making a simi
lar survey of the Pacific coast.
Threatening undeveloped sea
shore land along the Atlantic
coast, proponents of the bill
argue, is the long-range predic
tion that eventually a giant city
will extend from Boston to Nor
folk. The rush for seashore prop
erty already is on, the argument
goes, so the longer the Govern
ment waits the more expensive
the land it wants for public use
will be.
The National Park Service sur-:
vey cited an area it recommend
ed for acquisition in 1935 for
S9.000 a mile. Twenty years
later, the Park Service report
said, the same land cost $110,000
a mile.

Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
IS THIS THEIR ANSWER? I
Paris As these words are
written, it seems highly prob
able that the Soviet submarines
which have
been present
ed to Egypt
are on their
.vay out of the
Medite r r a n
ean into the
Red Sea.
What is
worse, it also
seems highly
probable that
Joseph AIsod
those same Soviet submarines
flying Egyptian flags will be
used in an attempt to create a
new Middle Eastern crisis of the
gravest sort. Certainly they can
be used in this manner. And we
must at least assume that the
Soviets and Egyptians will not
resist the temptation of a major
coup until the contrary is prov
en.
All the gains in the dangerous
Middle Eastern situation in the
last months may now be at
stake, in fact. The reasons why
this is the case are relatively
simple.
TN THE first place, the only
prize that Israel received for
the shattering defeat of the
Egyptian Army was the free
navigation of the Gulf of Aqaba.
This narrow waterway leads
from the Red Sea, where the
Soviet submarines should soon
be cruising, up to the Port of
Elath, which is the southern
doorway to Israel.
In the desperate negotiations
after the Suez attack. Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles flat
ly promised the Israelis to sup
port them on free navigation in
the Aqaba Gulf. The Egyptian
government also promised Sec
retary Dulles not to make an
issue of the matter, although
the Gulf had always previously
been closed by the Egyptians
and Saudi Arabians, who joint
ly hold the narrow entrance.
In these circumstances, if the
Soviet submarines are used to
halt ships bound through the
Aqaba Gulf to Elath, it will be
immensely difficult and perhaps
even imoossible to prevent the
Israelis from renewing their at
tack on Egypt. They will consid
er the provocation very great.
They will think the United
States is bound by Dulles to sup
port them. And they will be con
fident, as well they may be from
past experience, of defeating
Nasser's armies in the kind of
way that will expose the essen
tial hollowness of the Nasser
regime for good and all.
TF THAT were "the whole story,
- the reasons for concern would
not be too great. But in fact, by
stopping navigation of the Gulf
of Aqaba, Nasser will auto
matically re-gild his tarnished
prestige as the unique hero of
the Arab world.
Even the Iraqi government,
whose enemy Nasser has always
been, will be forced to fly to
his support. The Saudi Arabian,
Jordanian and Lebanese govern
ments, whose rejection of Nas
ser's leadership has been the
great development of recent
months, will be forced to re
verse their courses instantan
eously, also rallying to Nasser

least. But his Christian Demo
crats hold only 260 seats in the
590-seat chamber. Thus he is
at the mercy of other parties.
The whole tangle stems really
from the multi-party political
system which has weakened a
number of European countries
for years and which made pos
sible the rise of Benito Musso
lini in Italy and Adolf Hitler
in Germany.
Some Italian political leaders
are talking now of the possi
bility of forming two strong
parties by merging various
groups. But it appears to be
merely talk.
in the strongest manner possi
ble. If it comes to war between
Israel and Egypt, all these gov
ernments may be expected to
fight on Egypt's side.
Worse still, Secretary Dulles
will be squarely caught between
two fires. Will he break his
promise about the Gulf of Aqaba
to the Israelis, in order to pre
serve his new relationship with
Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and
Lebanon? Or will he keep his
promise to Israel, and so lose
all gains in the Middle East
about which the State Depart
ment's propagandists have re
cently been boasting with such
smug complacency? Only Secre
tary Dulles can answer these
piercingly sharp questions.
m m m
rNE could be absolutely posi
" tive of the future need to
answer these questions, if it
were not for one thing. It is a
very great risk for Nasser to
provoke an Israeli attack. It
seems hard to believe that he
would run such a risk, even
after being given such fine new
toys as the Soviet submarines,
without very solid guarantees of
military protection. Those guar
antees can only come from the
Kremlin, and giving such guar
antees is a considerable risk for
the Soviets.
All the same, this is a breath
less moment. The fact that Kis
selev, the Soviet ambassador in
Cairo, is now in Moscow for
consultations, has an ominous
look about it. So does the pass
age through the Dardanelles into
the Mediterranean of elements
cf the Soviet surface fleet. The
aspect of affairs will be still
more ominous, if thf-, imports
prove correct that these Soviet
naval vessels will be used to
give moral support to Nasser's
Syrian Viceroy, Lieutenant Colo
nel Abdel Hamid Serraj, in a
left-wing coup d'etat at Damas
cus. Quite aside from these cur
rent signs, moreover, there is
the underlying situation. Nasso)
is like a surfboarft rider who
cannot swim. If he loses? his
wave, he is done for. After his
recent severe setbacks in, Saudi
Arabia, Jordan and Lebanon,
Nasser is in grave danger of los
ing his wave. With all its in
herent risks, using the $ov'et.
submarines to block the Gulf
of Aqaba is an almost suftfire
device for Nasser to regain his
wave again.
C0 :
CHANGING the image, Nas-
ser and the brand of Arab
nationalism that he represents
are like a dagger which the
Kremlin hopes to stab straight
into the exposed belly of the
Western Alliance. But if Nasser's
Arab leadership is successfully
challenged as it has reecntly
been challenged the dagger
will be broken. The Kremlin's
whole brilliantly conceived Mid
dle Eastern attack on vSe'West
will be rather decisively frus
trated. Hence both Nasser and the
Kremlin have strong motives for
risk taking. There is not a shred
of hard intelligence in Paris that
they will follow the course
herein outlined, but anyone who
weighs the broad pattern must
certainly feel lively concern,
