comes little more than a souvenir as the New Eng
land Watch and Ward Society, Boston's stem protect
or of the innocent, changes its name and enlarges its
activities. Henceforth, the group will be known as the
New England Citizens Crime Commission.
The executive secretary, Dwight S. Strong, says
the commission will assist in the formation of citizens
committees against crime in any community request
ing aid. He cited a report by a special legislative com
mission which estimated illegal gambling alone was a
$2 billion annual business in Massachusetts.
Illegal gambling" always has, of course, come
within the purlieu of the Watch and Ward Society,
as have state fairs, horse and dog tracks, night clubs,
beano games, stag parties, and the like. The social
critic Cleveland Amory has pointed out in "The Prop
er Bostonians" that "the Society has never been solely
interested in books, but has always maintained a mili
tant inhospitality to sex stimuli of all sorts." Never
theless, it is for the suppression and censorship of
books that the Watch and Ward is best known.
THE SOCIETY was founded by a group of Boston
clergymen and educators in 1878, inspired by An
thony Comstock's Society for the Suppression of Vice
(now the Society to Maintain Public Decency) in New
York City. It got off to a flying start by immediately
proscribing Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass."
Amory notes that "Phillips Brooks, beloved First
Family preacher, was one of its guiding lights and
(that) one of his assistants founded it . . . But Godfrey
Lowell "Cabot was long its treasurer and is still its
honorary president." Cabot, 96 and a very proper Bos
tonian chemical engineer, educator, and philanthro-
i pist is worth a stoiy in his own right. For example,
Cabot got so excited in World War I that he learned to
fly at the age of 56 and had himself appointed a lieu
tenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
Operating in a Beacon Hill office with an endow
ment of over a quarter of a million dollars, the Society
through the years has banned the works of Sinclair
Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Theo
dore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair, Eugene O'Neill, H. G.
Wells and Thome Smith and Kathleen Winsor.
The Society describes itself as "a quasi-govern
mental law enforcement agency . . . dedicated to the
protection of the family life in New England." The
German scholar, Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt, in his ex
haustive study, "The Book in America," observes:
"Usually ... a notification from the New England
Watch and Ward Society to an informal Boston Book
sellers' Committee was a sufficient means of suppres
sion." MASSACHUSETTS IS the only state, thanks to the
Watch and. Ward, where a book may be sup
pressed not because it is obscene but because it may
contain obscene passages or words. In 1944, Abraham
Iseristadt as seller and the late Bernard de Voto as
purchaser were arrested for the "sale 'of "Strange
Fruit," a novel of inter-racial love. A lower court
found the book obscene and fined the bookseller, and
in 1945 the state Supreme Court upheld the ruling.
This gave rise to protest that achieved a change
that year in the state law. Neither the concept of ob
scenity nor the criteria of evaluation were changed,
but power to initiate formal action was transferred
from the police to the District Attorney. The book it
self became indictable, not the bookseller. Under the
new law, "Forever Amber" in 1947 became the first
book in the twentieth centmy to be cleared by a Mas
sachusetts higher court. E.R.R.

Well, the ragweed is a dis
reputable character. Its pollen
causes hay fever. And it sheds
a lot of pollen. Buffalo may
have as much as 556 pounds of
ragweed pollen per square
mile. St. Louis may have about
519 pounds.
And
As little as 25 GRAINS of rag
weed pollen per square yard are
enough to start the hay fever
snuffles and sniffles.
"CWEN ragweed, however, has
its uses.
Consider, for example, the
little town of Kane, in Pennsyl
vania. It is located "high up" in
what back East they call the
Allegheny mountains." Its ele
vation is 2200 feet above sea
level. It is surrounded by for
ests. Ragweed finds life diffi
cult at this "high" altitude.
Whereas other sections of the
East may report pollen counts in
the hundreds, Kane reports
proudly that its pollen count
runs from zero to a top of nine.
The residents of the town
don't' rely upon nature alone.
There is a city ordinance out
lawing the offending weed.
Each year the chamber of com
merce, the Garden ,club, the
Boy Scouts and all the service
organizations get together and
comb the town ir search of any
ragweed that might dare to
show its head. If they find one,
they give it the works.
A Plea from Ashland
To the Editor: We would liie
to makea suggestion hoping it
will help the citizens of Med
ford. For a long time your paper
has criticized and made scathing
remarks about the Southern
Pacific not running the passen
ger train to Portland well, so
what no one rode on it. Now,
Mr. Editor, would you publish
your paper for a few subscribers
at a great loss of revenue?
Much has been said about the
few trees torn out along Fir
street where the First National
bank now stands. Now you
should use this energy to save
your city park Hawthorne
park, a beautiful place. But all
the trees and shrubs will be
pulled out for several blocks
along Bear creek just where it
is most lush and ideal for picnic
parties. When the highway cuts
through the park and the traffic
with the noise and obnoxious
gas fumes drifts across who
then can enjoy your beautiful
park? . .
This affects thousands of peo
ple and especially children.
Where else can a place so acces
sible and so much needed be
found? Even New York City
with its growth and commercial
ism, never destroyed Central
Park but realized the import
ance, even necessity of it. So,
now why don't you do some
thing about this and generations
yet unborn will rise up and call
you blessed.

WHY
bia?
this anti-ragweed pho-
Th'e answer is simple and un
derstandable. The town of Kane
MAKES ITS LIVING (in re
verse, of course) out of rag
weed. It works like this:
wnen tne nay fever season
begins, hay fever sufferers from
surrounding states begin to roll
m by plane, by., train and by
automobile. They are met by the
chamber of commerce and taken
in tow. Some of them are placed
in the numerous hotels and mo
tels that have been built for
their accommodation. The re
mainder there is reported to be
always a surplus are parked
in private homes and boarding
houses. "
They remain until the first re
ports of frost from their home
towns tell them it is safe to go
back. Meanwhile they spend
their money IN KANE whose
residents find the hay fever
refugees so lucrative that they
can thumb their noses at adver
sity and live the life of Riley
throughout the rest of the year.
THE politicians who head
quarter in Salem have been
peddling a lot of gloom and
doom here of late about the
state of Oregon and its future.
Down here in Southern Oregon,
we don't agree with them. We
think our future is bright.
But maybe there is method in
their .seeming madness. They
may feel that if everything else
Not for F.P. or Nothing
To the Editor: In view of
some of the distorted attacks
upon me as a so-called "Federal
power or nothing" advocate, I
believe you may be interested
in the Congressional Record of
August 9, when Senator Kuchel
of California and I led success
fully the fight in the Senate for
passage of the bill which gives
the approval of the Federal
government to joint interstate
use of the waters of the Klam
ath river by Oregon and Cali
. This action paves the way for
hydroelectric projects on -the
Klamath river by the California
Oregon Power Company, a pri
vate utility corporation. You
will note that I have empha
sized this fact to the Senate in
my discussion of the bill. You
will also note that I have an
nounced my firm support of this
private development of the
waters of the Klamath. In addi
tion, you .will observe that I
backed the bill against the stric
tures of Senator Dworshak of
Idaho.
I am calling this Senate de
bate of August 9 to your atten
tion, because there, have ben
unfair political charges voiced
against me in Oregon to" the ef
fect that Senator Morse and I
favor Federal power projects or
none at all. This is another dem
onstration of the untruth of that
charge. It also has been demon
strated as false by my backing
of such private utility develop
ments as those of Pacific Power
& Light Company on the. Lewis
river in the state of Washing
ton and at Eden Ridge in Coos
county on the Oregon coast, asv
weU as of the Portland General
Electric Company additional de
velopments on the Clackamas
river near Estacada.
Please note that the Senate
passed the Klamath compact au
thorization bill, which was spon
sored jointly by Senator Know
land of California, Senator Ku
chel of California, Senator
Morse of Oregon and myself.

Responsibility, Not Fear
To the Editor: The comment
of Governor Robert Holmes re
cently to the effect that safety
education emphasis should be
placed upon responsibility rather
than fear is one which will cer
tainly find plenty of agreement
in the trucking industry.
For many years, the industry
has felt that far more can be
accomplished in the way of de
veloping safe driving attitudes
by building up pride rather than
by attempting to create fear of
unpleasant consequences.
Our "Good Joe" program, for
example, is intended to accord
recognition and respect to cour
teous drivers. The many safety
awards which are given to
thousands of drivers by their
companies, the OTA's "Driver
of the Year" project and many
other phases of the trucking in
dustry's safety program all are
based on appeals to pride, rea
son, common sense and profes
sional ability.
loaays truck drivers, we
think everyone will agree, are
professionals in every sense of
the word and this stress on the
professional aspect of their job
has been, we believe, respon
sible for the splendid safe driv
ing record achieved by the in
dustry in Oregon.
The same sort of approach
might be suggested for motorists
as well emphasis on the need
for professional ability and ma
ture conduct on the highways.
Heaven knows, in today's traf
fic, on today's roads, with to
day's cars, there's no room for
any more amateurs. i

Washington OPI The ap
proaching adjournment of Con
gress means another year is pass-
'1 mg without ac
tion to over
h a u 1 federal
election laws.
Next year is
an elect ion
year. Congress
normally
shows even
less interest in
tinkering with
the laws that
govern campaigning as the time
for voting draws closer.
It is a rare Congress that fails
to receive a report from one or
more of its committees recom
mending a big rewrite of elec
tion statutes. Yet little has been
done since passage of the Hatch
Act almost 20 years ago.
A controversial bill came out
of the Senate Elections Subcom
mittee last year. Senate Repub
lican and Democratic leaders
later joined in sponsoring a bill,
narrower in scope, in the hope
of getting action. Even this soft
er bill never came to a vote.
Last winter the same sub
committee brought forth a re
port, as big as a metropolitan
telephone directory, on the 1956
political campaign. Republicans
disputed its conclusions and it
provided no basis for the wide
spread agreement essential if a
bill is to be passed.
Later other recommendations
came from the special Senate
committee created last year to
investigate- improper lobbying
and campaign activities. Its re
port was 'referred to the elec
tions subcommittee which ap
proved another bill packed with
controversy last month.
Throughout the argument
over updating -the election laws
there has been little agreement
except on this one point: '
Present ceilings on campaign
spending are unrealistic and
easily avoided. The three million
dollar annual limit on expendi
tures by national political com-
High-Priced Depression"
To the Editor: The following
letter has been sent to Senator
Richard Neuberger: '
Dear Die!;: I wonder if the
administration actually realizes
the desnerate nlieht nf thp lnm. I
ber industry here in Oregon.
For my part as a lumber brok
er, I am finding that I have to
go increasingly into British Co
lumbia to secure stock, and
frankly, am presently mending
fences up there for the coming
winter, due to the fact that so
many mills are closing down,
not only in Southern Oregon
but all up the coast to Portland
wnen taiKing with these pro
ducers they tell me it is not just
the low lumber market that is
causing this, but primarily the
fact that they cannot obtain
money to cold deck log&.over
the winter- months due to the
tight money policy of the admin
istration, plus their bank con
nections telling them that with
the new Federal Reserve dis
count rate boosted to 3V4
money simply is- not available
under 8 to 10 if the banks
would take on log inventory
loans for average producers.
It does seem a tragedy to shut
our mills down and throw the
people who were employed on
unemployment c o m p e nsation
over this coming winter;
wouldn't it be much cheaper to
declare a disaster industry in
lumber, just as disaster areas are
entitled to 3 government
money? The tax savings alone
over this winter would be tre
mendous, and I can personally
assure you most of these mills
would operate, even on this de-
Senators Denounce
Increase in Tarrifs
Washington " (IP) Two Sen
ate Democrats denounced a pro
posed increase in lead and zinc
tariffs today as a potential eco
nomic blow to the country and a
threat to U.S. foreign trade.
The two were Sens. Paul H.
Douglas (D-Ill.) and Albert Gore
(D-Tenn), the only - dissenters
when the Senate Finance com
mittee Voted Friday to raise the
import tax on the two metals.
The committee , approved a
provision to impose a three-cent
import duty on lead as long as
the domestic price 'stays below
17 cents, and on zinc while the
price is below 1414 cents. The
present tariffs are 1 116 cent
on, lead and 710 of a cent on
zinc.
In a minority report Douglas
and Gore called the proposed ac
tion "a serious blow to our eco
nomy and an attempt to under
mine our reciprocal trade pro
gram which will worsen the
trade relations of the U.S. and
the Free World." ' .
mittees is circumvented by mul
tiplying the number of commit
tees. The ceilings on personal ex
penditures of congress ional
candidates are ignored by the
simple device of creating com
mutes to do the spending. '
Election reform advocates
agree something should be done
to bring these provisions up to
date to recognize, among other
things, the cost of television cam
paigning. But from there they
scatter in all directions.
Some Here, Some There
Some want to apply the spend
ing limits and reporting require
ments to primary and pre-con-vention
campaigns. The present
law in effect exempts Demo
cratic congressional candidates
in the one-party South because
it exempts primaries. The same
applies to Republicans in a few
one-party states.
The law also puts no restraints
on preconvention campaigning
like the Taft-Eisenhower contest
for the 1952 GOP presidential
nomination or the Stevenson
Kefauver competition before the
1956 Democratic convention.
Another election reform pro-t
posal calls for limiting the con
tributions which can be made by
one individual who now may
contribute up to $5,000 to an un
limited number of political com
mittees. So can each member of
his family. This reform idea is
liked by many Democrats who
think most wealthy persons mak
ing such sizeable contributions
are on the side of the GOP.
Some Republican for tleir
part are Insistent on tightening
the law to restrict polftcal
spending by labor organizations,
most of which side with the
Democrats. These Rep4blicans
think the unions have found too
many loopholes.
Matter of Fact by stewo AiMP'
Stewait A) sop
North Carolina Girl
Wants Education
UGLY SITUATION
It begins to look as though an
old prophecy by President Ei
senhower is belatedly coming
true. In 1954, the President
warned that the election of a
Democratic Congress would re
sult in "uncertainty, confusion,
and divided responsibility."
In fact, un
til rather re
cently, the
President has
lived rather
more happily
with the De
mocratic 84th
C o n g r e sses
than he did
with the Re
publican 83rd
Congress. But that is no longer
so. As the President's desperate
threat to call a special session
to save his foreign aid program
suggests, the present relation
ship between Congress and the
White House is indeed one of
uncertainty, confusion, and d
vided respsponsibility.
There are a lot of reasons for
this. But the most important
reason is-the present mood of
the Democrats in Congress. By
and large, they are disgruntled,
fed up, frustrated, and enraged.
Three examples will serve to
suggest why this is so.
Take, as example number
one, the case of Democratic Ma
jority Leader Lyndon Johnson.
Last year, Johnson almost single-handedly
saved the Presi
dents' foreign aid program. His
own vote on the Approprations
Committee provided a majority
of one for the President's pro
gram, and thereafter Johnson
worked his special magic to
swing nine votes, the President's
way.
Neuberger's record? Using the
Congressional Quarterly statis
tics, Oregon's Republican State
Chairman, James Short, attacks
Neuberger for his "appaling"
record of "disregard for the de
mands of the people for econ
omy." Neuberge has sent an an
guished protest to Republican
National Chairman Meade Al
cern, but the protest seems un
likely to do him much good.
At any rate.Neuberger's sad
story is by no means unusual,
and the moral is not lost on the
Democrats: Support the Presi
dent on issues like foreign aid,
and get your teeth kicked by
the Republicans back home.
0rtI
New York (IP) A pretty
16-year-old North Carolina girl,
who has become a celebrity al
most overnight, said Sunday
night she wants to finish her edu
cation and become a secretary
to help support her ' poverty
stricken family.
" Jim Dorothy Brown, who went
from a backwoods shack to a
fashionable New York hotel for
a week end of luxury living,
said on the Ed Sullivan TV
show "My family ' has always
been poor, and I always wanted
to be somebody."
An industrialist already has
offered to pay for a high school
and college education for Doro
thy May, as "she prefers to be
called. The $1,000 she received
for the TV appearance will go
into a trust fund at a Moores
ville, N.C., bank.
Johnson is exceedingly unlikely
to do the same thing again. He
is genuinely convinced that the
civil rights bill, passed by the
Senate largely as a result of his
own herculean efforts, is a good
and fair bill. He is Equally con
vinced that the Administration
has adopted the strategy of pro
longing the civil rights battle
in order to make political hay
out of the issue in 1958. In the
circumstances, as one of John
son's frienoa put it, "Why in
the devil should Lyndon stick
his neck out for Ike."
As an example number two,
take the sad case of Sen. Rich
ard Neuberger of Oregon. Neu
berger is a left-wing Democrat
from a normally Republican
state, which makes his political
position touchy to begin with.
He is also an internationalist,
and he has consistently support
ed the President on such matters
as foreign aid, reciprocal trade,
the U.S. Information Agency,
and defense appropriations.
According to the Congression
al Quarterly, Neuberger has sup
ported the President on thirteen
out of seventeen key issues on
which the President has taken
a stand. This is one of the.high
est records of Presidential sup
port in the Senate. Ajid what-is
take, as example number
three, the case of Sen. Stuart
Symington of Missouri. When
the House heavily cut the Pres
ident's defense budget, the Pres--ident
went on the air to say that
to fail to restore a substantial
part of the cut would mean tak
ing a "fearful gamble" with the
national security. Symington led
the fight in the Senate, on the
Democratic side, to get the Pres
ident what he wanted, and large
ly succeeded.
Then, when the Senate-House
conference 'on the defense budg
et met, Secretary of Defense Wil
son and Budget Cheif Brundage
blandly informed the confer
ence that the amount Syming
ton had fought to restore was
rot really necessary after all.
Symington, who has been much
ciiticized back home as a heavy
spender, thus had the rug neat
ly pulled out from under him,"
As a result, he is seriously con
sidering voting against foreign
military aid, for the first time
in his Senate reier. 4
These three examples and
more could be cited should
be enough to suggest why the
Democratic majorities in Con
gress now take a special delight
in denying the President on such
issues as foreign aid. The Pres
ident's threat to call a special
session has further disgruntled
the Democrats. "If His Majesty
wants to play it rough," one
Democrat grimly remarked,
"He'll find that His Majesty's
loyal opposition can play pretty
rough too."
Altogether, an ugly situation
is developing. When the White
House and the Congress are con
trolled by different parties there
is always the danger of some
thing worse than "uncertainty
and confusion" a kind of
angry paralysis of the processes
of government. That danger is
now real, and it is to be hoped
that the President recognizes it,
and is prepared to deaL with
