Today and Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
Now that civil rights legisla
tion is before the Senate, the
crucial question is whether the
leaders from the Southern
States are willing to let a bill
pass which is directed solely to
securing and protecting the
right of Negroes to vote. There
have been some indications that
Sen. Russell
may be will
ing after the
Southern mi
nority have
argued their
case, to let the
m aj o r i ty of
the Senate
pass such a
bill. There is
also, some
A

reason to think that Sen. Lyn
don Johnson is feeling his way
towards a compromise based on
limiting the substance of the bill
to the single issue of suffrage in
the Southern states
By such a compromise the
Southerners would be making a
very big concession. But they
would avoid, or at least postpone
for some considerable time to
come, what would amount to a
decisive defeat on the whole
range of civil rights issues. If
they resorted to a filibuster to
- destroy a bill amended to deal
only with federal voting, there
is a very good chance, as Mr,
Roland Evans Jr. reported in the
New York Herald Tribune the
other day, that they will pro
voke a movemept to amend the
rules of the Senate in order to
obolish the right to filibuster.
If ever the rules are amended
the Southerners will be faced
with a majority in the Senate
which is prepared to use the
Federal power to enforce all the
civil rights laws, including that
against segregation in the public
schools
The South, therefore, has
much to lose by being intra
sigent, and it has much to gain
by a concession on the right to
vote.
THE word "compromise" needs
to be defined. A genuine com
promise would be an under
standing that the bill should be
amended by cutting out Part III,
which deals with Integration in
the schools and other civil
rights. Such an amendment
would mean that the special fea
ture of this bill the use of
Injunction would be limited
to the cases where injunction is
a denial by local election of
ficials of the right to vote. The
injunction procedure would not
apply to the school problem, or
to the other civil rights prob
lems. It would not be a true compro
mise, on the other hand, to cut
out Part III. and then also to
amend Part IV to require trials
by jury in all election cases.
That would amount to the emas
culation of the bill, and would
mean that Congress was passing
a bill that was not meant to be
enforced. Either the Federal
Government is to Ijave power
to secure and protect the right
to vote or it is not to have that
power. That power can be, and
should be, strictly defined. But
there is no half-way station ,be
tween granting and not grant
ing the power.
SPHERE may be in the making
something bigger than a com
promise on the bill which is now
O hefore tho Senate Wp mav ven
ture to hope that for the first
time there exists an opportunity
for something like a national set
tlement and understanding based
on the inherent principle and
implied policy of an amended
bill.
The principle of the amended
bill would be that the paramount
civil right of an American citi
zen is the right to vote. If he
can qualify under rules that are
the same for all, the right to
vote is his guarantee that he
will be heard and listened to
and counted.
The corollary of this principle,
that the right to vote is the para
mount civil right, is that the
other civil rights are not to be
enforced by the executive power
of the Federal government. They
are to be brought into being by
persuasion, experiment negoti
ation, and by judicial process.
It would be a bright day for
the country if there could be a
general national understanding
based on such a view of the
scope and nature of Federal in
tervention in the problem of
civil rights. There are great
reputations to be made by those,
be they in Congress or in the
Administration, who seize the
opportunity which is open, and
make themselves the architects
Of such an understanding,

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In Oregon and Far Northern
California, where lumbering is
the chief payroll industry, there
is presently a slowdown in in
dustrial activity. Following a
dozen years of frantic boom
home building is slacking off
at least temporarily. There are
signs that for the moment, at
least, the supply of homes is
beginning to catch up with de
mand. As a result, there is a current
surplus of lumber and plywood,
and the mills are curtailing op
erations. This curtailment is hav
ing an unfavorable effect on
business of all kinds in this area
where the manufacture of these
products provides the bulk of
our industrial employment.
JO MUCH for the present.
' But what about the future?
Is it clouded?
Or is it bright?
FOR an answer to these ques
tions, let's turn to Dr. J. A.
Hall (known among his intimates
as Al), director of the Forest
Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wisconsin.
Dr. Hall told a Wall Street
Journal reporter the other day
that wood use will double by
the year 2,000. He backs up this
prediction with the statement
that in 1S56 paper producers
consumed about 36 million cords
of pulpwood, as compared with
18 million cords as recently as
1940. That is a period of only
17 years.
He adds that U.S. lumber out
put last year was 37.5 billion
board feet, nearly one-third
more than in 1939 only 18
years ago.
THE statisticians tell us that
from 1980 on the rate of
growth in our population will
be EXPLOSIVE. All these new
people the rate of growth, we
must remember, will be greatest
in the YOUNGER ages will re
quire new dwellings. They will
consume more paper and pulp

Plans to Cut 'Paper Work'
For Vets Are Developed
The Portland Veterans admin
istration regional office has acted
to cut "paper work" for veteran
patients with service-connected
disabilities that require long
term outpatient treatment, and
for the "home town" doctors
who treat them under VA auth
orization, S. T. Brannock, officer
in charge of the local Medford
office, said today.
Brannock stated that the new
system, which went into effect
July 1 will greatly reduce re
porting and filing of various VA
forms for the treatments.
of Medford.
Tuesday evening the Ladv
Lions met for a dinner meeting
at The Tabu Dinner House. They
discussed the disposal of the
kindergarden eauinment. The
kindergarden will not be spon-
sorea next year by the Lady
Lions club because a teacher is
not available. The equipment
will be sold.
Monday W. T. Phillips, build
ing contractor, was issued a
building permit for a house on
Chestnut st. for Leslie Thomas.
This week R. R. Lawton, build
ing contractor, was issued a per
mit to enlarge a carport at 416
North 4th st.
v o 1 v e s individually selected
long term patients, Brannock
said. In Oregon, approximately
650 veterans with war-incurred
disabilities were treated each
month last year in their home
towns by 600 doctors approved
by VA.
Long-Term Care
Approximately 320 veterans
needing long - term care for
chronic ailments will be treated
under the revised program. Vet
erans requiring only short-term
treatment still will be author
ized for care on an individual
basis, Brannock stated.
Under the new program the
specific changes are:
1. Doctors caring for selected
chronic patients will receive VA
authorizations to continue treat
ments for periods up to one year,
instead of monthly as at present.
2. Doctors may submit reports
on patients' medical condition
quarterly, instead of monthly,
permitting doctors to better des
cribe the patient's condition.
Travel Authorization
Brannock stated that certain
veterans in the "home town"
program who must travel to
cities near their homes to visit
medical specialists will receive
travel authorization to cover
the entire authorized treatment
period instead of monthly travel
Central Point Youths Lodged in City Jail
Alan Michael McQuade, 20,
Central Point, was lodged in the

of illegal possession of alcohol
and resisting arrest.

authorization as at present.
Brannock said that veterans
who will be placed under the
new system are those already
receiving treatment in the "home
town" program for service-connected
disablities requiring ex
tended periods of treatment such
as diabetes, chronic chest condi
tions, gastro-intestinal and vas
cular diseases and neurological
conditions.
The change will not only bene
fit veterans and fee basis phy
sicians, Brannock indicated, but
will also conserve use of VA
personnel and supplies.
ban Fisher, Central Point, was
jailed on a charge of Illegal pos
session of alcohol.
Police said they arrested the
two at a local service station
after observing several beer bot-.
ties in their vehicle. McQuade
reportedly directed insulting
language toward the officers and
police said they were required
to use considerable force to take
him into custody.
Bail was set at $35 for Fisher
and $150 for McQuade.

products. New uses for pulp and
paper products are multiplying
(one concern is already prepar
ing to turn out disposable paper
shirts).
All in all, Dr. Hall's prediction
that wood use will double by
the year 2000 seems extremely
reasonable.
STARTLING?
Wait a minute.
You haven't heard anything
yet.
TAR. EDWARD G. LOCKE, chief
of the division of wood chem
istry of the Forest Products
Laboratory, says:
"We're about 10 years away
from extensive use of wood AS
A SOURCE OF CHEMICALS
In another 50 years, wood that
is now discarded may OVER
SHADOW PETROLEUM AND
COAL as a source, of industrial
chemicals."
That is to say:
The time will come when big
chemical industries will grow
up alongside our big lumber and
pulp and paper industries.
Our future is BRIGHT.
