' 'Stra ight" Twaddle
We are indebted to a subscriber for sending us
two copies of a feature in "Farm & Ranch" entitled
"Straight Talk."
In a note accompanying the gift, the writer thinks
the offering will interest us because it represents
"quite a different view" from that expressed in this
department.
Well, after reading the articles, we would say
this is the understatement of the week.
The topic is the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court
that racial segregation in our public schools is un
constitutional. We haven't read so many wild ir
responsible statements regarding this national issue,
since the hectic days and nights of the Ku Klux
Klan.
We haven't the space or inclination to try to
answer all the nonsense, but will pick out a few to
give some idea of what "Straight Talk" thinks about
the Supreme Court, and its racial integration decision.
MO. 1 : It claims the Supreme Court in that decision,
failed to uphold the Constitution of the United
States, while Governor Faubus of Arkansas and his
fellow nullificationists acted to sustain it.
The South, it seems, is right when it calls out the
NATIONAL not the STATE Guard to prevent a
few defenseless colored children from enjoying public
school privileges to which the local school board had
declared they were entitled, as had the Federal and
Supreme Courts.
THE Supreme Court moreover, "Straight Talk"
A claims, was not only packed with political lawyers
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry Truman, but
also by President Eisenhower, who is alone respon
sible for Chief Justice Warren's court. This court,
like its predecessors, is made up of left-wingers which
now makes and unmakes the laws, being no better
than the "combined creatures of New Dealism and
MODERN REPUBLICANISM, bent on changing our
constitutional government into a centralized all
powerful, socialist labor-welfare state." (Sic!)
THERE are two full pages of this sort of whang
doodle, including the sober dictum that the Su
preme Court should be limited to judges who have
served at least 10 years on "Circuit Courts of Appeal,"
they should have a tenure of not more than 9 years,
and should be allowed to issue no majority opinions,
only those supported by a two-thirds vote. (How
many decisions would ever be reached on that basis? )
Finally, as the congress has the right to oust Su
preme Court judges who have not (presumably) come
up to its standards of good behaviour, "Straight Talk"
would have them curbed by the President or congress,
and if this failed to attain the desired results, why
"kick the rascals out. In other words, put the U.S
Supreme Court head over heels into politics!
THE item, however, that intrigued this department
most was calling in Abraham Lincoln to support
the Southern segregationists.
IT SEEMS that when in 1860, the Supreme Court
4 upheld slavery by the Dredd Scott decision, Presi
dent Lincoln, according to "Straight Talk," issued
the following "challenge" :
"We propose so resisting it as to have it reversed IF WE
CAN, and a new judicial rule established upon this subject."
DUT "Straight Talk" fails to add that President
Lincoln also followed the present course of the
Governors of Tennessee and Kentucky and while be
lieving the decision wrong, made no criticisms of
the Supreme Court, advised no changes m its pro
cedure or composition, but told the country that the
proper judicial tribunal had decided what the law
is, and that everyone should obey it until a reversal
from the same court, if possible, had been secured
or the constitution changed.
There would be no quarrel with Governor Faubus,
or anyone else, if they now pursued a similar course
of "Due process of law."
But they insist upon calling out the troops to defy
the court and nullify the constitution.
A LL of this is probably a waste of time and space.
It is a kind of twaddle mass emotional reaction
which can't be dismissed by reason, but like the Hurri
cane Esther, MUST blow itself out.
Our excuse for taking "Straight Talk" seriously
enough to quote it, is to give an idea of what ex
tremes the "Black South" and their sympathizers,
have gone on this "White Supremacy" question.
To bring up the words of Abraham Lincoln, prob
ably the greatest ANTI-racist in the history of the
country, and uttered nearly 100 years ago, to support
the use of armed force to keep Negro children from
our public schools today, strikes this department as
surpassing by several leagues any conceivable ra
tional limit. R.W.R.

Matter of Fact
A Correction
In our recent comments on the school segregation
problem in Arkansas we quoted the following:
"Your huddled masses yearning to be free."
An alert subscriber asks if that quotation should
not be "Your huddled masses yearning to BREATHE
free."
"Alert subscriber" is right.
We quoted from memory a line from the inscrip
tion on the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor and
it should have been "breathe" instead of "be."
"A. S." might be interested in the entire inscrip
tion which, with the aid of John Bartlett. reads as
follows: !
"I NOTHING KNEW"
Warsaw In Poland, the old
political labels have been chang
ed in a pretty unsettling way.

tive" is a be

old - style au
thoritar ian
C o m m u nism

sents the ex-
! treme "left" in

Joseph Aisop here is a Com
munist who also strongly be
lieves in freedom.
Fryderyk, as I shall call him,
is a good specimen of this new
Communist "leftwing." He is
a tninnisn, blondish, rather in
tense young man wno holds a
fairly high professional position.
When I met him in one of the
crowded, shabby but wonder
fully lively professional clubs
of the Polish intelligentsia, he
seemed only too pleased to ex
plain his views.
"The whole history of the
Communist Party in Poland,"
he began bitterly, "has been the
history of a struggle for inde
pendence from Moscow."
Both' this opening and Fry
deryk s bitterness became more
understandable when he explain
ed that a close relation of his
had been a Polish Communist
leader before "1938." That was
the year when Josef Stalin in
vited the whole leadership of
the Polish Party to Moscow for
a "fraternal meeting," and then
briskly murdered almost all his
guests. Fryderyk's relation had
been among those extirpated.
AS MOST of the murdered
men and women had been
of Jewish blood, I asked Fry
deryk whether he too was Jew-
isn. ino, ne replied, ms was a
Polish working class family from
the old Warsaw workers' quarter
of Wola. He added proudly,
"Our Wola district has always
been very struggling." (His Eng
lish was like that, fluent, odd
but all the more emphatic for
its oddity.) "The Wola workers
nave always Deen in tne van
guard since the Polish rising
against the Russian oppressors
in 1831."
The bloodstained story of Po
land s unending fights for free
dom is the passion of all Poles.

Tax League Official
To Speak at Luncheon
Mrs. Josephine Kittredge,
Klamath Falls, chairman of the
Klamath County Non-Partisan
Tax League, will speak Monday
noon at the meeting of the Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce roundtable.
The public has been invited to
the luncheon meeting at the
Jackson hotel.
The Klamath tax league was
formed several months ago to
create taxpayer interest in local,
state and federal taxes and to
seek tax reform of local and
state taxes, according to Bob
Balk, chairman of the round
table. Interest arose in other sec
tions of the state and Mrs. Balk
has been urged to form a state
organization with affiliated chap
ters in all Oregon counties.
Her talk at the roundtable
luncheon will include progress
in forming a state organization,
what citizens' tax groups can ac
complish, and how individual
counties can form such groups
and become affiliated with a
proposed state body.
By Joseph Alsop
of strangers into warm friends,
just give the toast, "To Grun
wald" Grunwald having been
an early medieval battle in
which the Poles utterly annihi
lated the united armies of the
Germans, the Russians and
everyone else in this part of
the world. So Fryderyk could
not resist recounting the Wola
workers' other fights for free
dom, right down to the last
ditch guerilla resistance to the
Nazis in 1939.
"I remember it exactly, I
fought then," he said. As he
looked like a college boy, I re
marked that he must have been
a rather babyish front fighter
He answered quite seriously
Uli not so very young. 1 was
born in 1930, so I was easily
able to carry water and ammu
nition to our men."
Having reached the ripe age
of fifteen in 1945, Fryderyk of
course fought in the tragic and
terrible Warsaw uprising. And
having been a Communist by
family inheritance, Fryderyk
was of course delighted when the
party began to rule Poland. By
the age of seventeen in fact
when he was accepted for Party
membership, Fryderyk was
convinced Stalinist Communist.
"I had doubts in 1949, when
Tito was condemned," he said
For a long time I could not
believe Tito was an imperialist
agent, but I made myself be
lieve. We all made ourselves
believe then. For instance
nothing knew at first hand of
the ways of our secret police
but of course I heard rumors
And I made myself believe that
these rumors were spread by
imperialist agents."
POLAND'S plunge into misery
during the ultra - Stalinist
years; the sudden exposure to
young people from the West at
the Warsaw Youth Congress
such things as these had already
started Fryderyk asking himself
uncomfortable questions when
the famous Twentieth Party
Congress was held in Moscow.
As Party Secretary in his pro
fessional organization, he was
the first to receive the famous
Khrushchsv speech painting
Josef Stalin in his true colors
And this finished iryderyk as
a Communist-by-religious-faith.
"It was a terrible moment for
me, he said, l am young, l
sleep well. But that night I could
never sleep until the sun came.
After that, I began to see all
quite new."
So it went on, this curious in
ner history of Fryderyk, through
Poland's time of rising ferment
that ended in the glorious Octo
ber days, when he and others
like him, young and old, workers
and intellectuals, joined togeth
er to free their people. "Those
days," said Fryderyk simply,
"were the best in my life."
Fryderyk is still a Commu
nist. But he not only wants
complete individual freedom,
which largely exists in Poland
now. He also wants complete
press freedom, which does not
exist, plus a substantial free
sector in the industrial and trad
ing part of the economy, which
the Gomulka government is
dead against. In these ways,
Fryderyk by no means repre
sents the ruling Party apparatus
in Poland. ,
But Fryderyk is representa
tive in two other ways which
have a good deal of importance.
He represents the young Polish
Communist generation who
must, after all, some day take
over from the older genera
tion. And he represents the
many millions of Poles who will
surely fight for the limited free
dom they have already won if
anyone tries to take it away.

Here's a little tale from far
away France. If you get the
point of it, it's worth reading.
"TOR 200 years a colony of bea
A vers has lived contentedly
along the Rhone river, which
flows southward through a part
of France that is so charming
that for centuries it has been
conceded to be the most delight
ful area of Western Europe. The
valley of the Rhone, which ends
where the great river flows into
the dreamy Mediterranean not
too far from the place where
the romantic French Riviera be
gins, has long been celebrated in
song and story.
These beavers, it appears, fell
into the way of life that is char
acteristic of the Rhone valley.
It is an EASY way of life. The
fundamentals of food, shelter
and clothing are not too hard o

These beavers QUIT WORK

was bark aplenty for them to
nibble. There was warm, lovely
water aplenty in which to swim
around. All this - went on
throughout the year, for in the
equable climate of the valley of
the Rhone there was no pressing
need to store up in the summer
what one would need in the winter.
YTNDER these conditions, these
beavers ceased to be EAGER
beavers. They became LAZY
beavers.
They even quit building dams.
Why build dams to back up wat
er in which to store food for the
winter?
Why work when work wasn't

Life CHANGED for them.
corps of engineers came along
and started to build a dam. The
beavers were in the way, so the
engineers moved them over into
a little river called the Tave that
flows into the Rhone.

the rabbit was chased by anoth

sheer fright. This pretty well
broke up the 10-year-old son of
the family who had been caring
for it.
The next day a lap-sized, wiry-
haired, mahogany - eyed pug-
faced, licking-friendly dog, which
could be mistaken for an Irish
man if he had a curved pipe in
his mouth (the family says), -ap

of nowhere, as dogs sometimes
do. He was dubbed "Whiskers,"
adopted, and installed in the rab
bit pen.
At last report he was playing
with the neighborhood kids day
times, sleeping in the pen at
night, turning his nose up at
canned dog food, and lapping up
any assortment of table scraps.

Don Faber, mayor of Central
Point and a Kiwanis club mem

so that he could attend a North

Canada, at the end of his jour

He arrived at the Canadian town
for the meeting, only to find he
was a week too soon.

photographer on this paper, on

anniversary celebration of the
Jacksonville Presbyterian church
today, showed up there last Sunday.

The beavers took a long, hard
look at these dam-building hu
man engineers and realized that
after a couple of centuries of the
life of Riley THEY HAD COM

So they went to work like
mad, building a dam of their
own. They cut down trees. They
rolled stones. They dug chan
nels. They brought branches
down the creek and put them in
place and cemented them with
mud and moss and leaves until
the dam was water-tight and be
san to back up the waters of the
Tave.
Then they started cutting
down more trees and cutting
them up into manageable
lengths and storing them in the
backed-up waters to provide
food for the coming winter in
case it happened to be a hard
one.

Portland Efforts to attract
major foreign country and in
ternational trade participation in
Oregon's Centennial Exposition
and International Trade Fair of
1959 moved ahead last week
with the appointment of a four
man advisory committee of top
foreign trade leaders in this
area.
Members of the committee,
appointment of which was an
nounced by Floyd Maxwell,
managing director of the centen
nial exposition, are J. Carter
Brandon, manager of the foreign
trade department of the Portland
chamber of commerce; Harold
K. Cherry, manager of the Port
land field office of the U.S. de
partment of commerce; Arthur
Farmer, manager of the Port
land chamber of commerce; and
Thomas Young, director of far
east sales for Fiberboard Prod
ucts, Inc.
Maxwell said the advisory
group would assist the present
centennial staff in formulating
plans for the international trade
fair, an integral part of the 1959
centennnial exposition.
International exhibits from
foreign countries, firms and as
sociations, as well as United
States groups engaging in inter
national trade, will occupy part
of the 65-acre exposition area
which will be developed for cen
tennial use at the site of the Pa
cific International Exposition
building, Maxwell stated.
Oregon's 100th birthday will
be celebrated throughout the
state in 1959 while focal point
of the centennial will be the ex

fair to run starting June 10,
1959, for a period of 120 to 150
days.
THE ISSUE IN ARKANSAS
Apologists for Gov. Faubus
have been quick to exploit an
unclear sentence in the Presi
dent's state-
Haiier Uppmano
ment about
the conference
last Saturday
at N e w p ort.
In the sen
tence the Pres
ident said that
he recognized
"the inescapa
ble responsi
bility resting
upon the Governor to preserve
law and order in his state." This
is said to mean that the Gover
nor has a right and a duty, if he
thinks it necessary in order to
preserve law and order, to use
the National Guard to keep the
Negro children out of the Little
Rock public schools.
It is not possible that the
President meant to say any such
thing. For if he had meant to
say it, he would have been giv
ing consent to an extraordinary
precedent that if a Governor of
state says that he thinks that
the enforcement of Federal law
will provoke disorderly protests,
he may use military force not to
put down the disorderly protests
but to nullify federal law.
The President cannot have
meant to approve armed resist
ance to the enforcement of the
Constitution he is sworn to up
hold.
Yet the sentence is open to the
construction which the Gover
nor's apologists' have put upon
it. The sentence is obviouslv an
echo of the Governor's own at
tempt to justify his action. The
sentence would never have been
in the statement at all had not
the President, who in principle
had gotten the Governor to back
down, wished to give Mr. Fau
bus a little consolation and
something to save his face. What
he gave him were some words
which befog the issue.
THIS being the issue, the Gov
ernor has gotten himself into
a crack. If he bows to Federal
authority, he must reverse his
order to the Arkansas National
Guard, and he must recognize
his responsibility to enforce the
law, not to nullify it. Then, he
will, no doubt, be a gone goose
with the irreconcilable segrega
tionists. If, on the other hand,
he does not bow to Federal au
thority, he will have to be made
to bow to it. The President could
not, no matter how lenient he
wished to be, let Gov. Faubus
win the argument. For the pre
cedent established would be dis
astrous. The best solution, even for
Gov. Faubus himself, will be a
clear and conclusive decision ar
rived at by due process of law
on the question of whether the
National Guard may be used, as
in Little Rock, to nullify the
law. It will be best for Gov.
Faubus not that this is the
most important consideration
because since he must bow to
some authority, it will be easier
for him to bow to the Court.
More importantly, it will be
best for the South. For it will
reopen the road towards accom
modation which was opened in
the Senate this summer. This
is the only way that the South
and the rest of the nation can
hope to live with the problem.

MH5 Graduates
Attend College
Orientation Class
UNFORTUNATELY, the Gov-
- ernor has precipitated an issue
which does not lend itself to
compromise. The issue, let us
remember, is not where and
when, how fast and how much,
the white public schools shall be
opened to Negro children. Inte
gration is bound to be a long and
slow process, and no good can
come of impatient, uncomprom
ising attempts to force the pace.
But the issue forced by Gov.
Faubus is whether a community
like Little Rock, which has con
sented to a very moderate de
gree of integration, may be over
ruled by the Governor and pre
vented from observing the law.
The issue, in short, is whether
a Governor may use the Nation
al Guard to enforce segregation.
This is not an issue that can .be
compromised. Either he can or
he cannot. If he can, the hope of
proceeding slowly and by con
sent, as in fact was happening in
Arkansas, is extinguished, and
the sinister question of armed
resistance to the Constituion is
posted. '
About 38 1957 graduates of
Medford High school attended a
four-evening college orientation
session held Sept. 9 to 12 at the
school. '
Sessions lasted from 7:30 to
9:30 p.m. The first evening, a
panel of eight Medford high
graduates who attended colleges
last year offered suggestions bas
ed on their experiences.
Panel members included Stan
Culy, Willamette university;
Dick Arnold, Lewis and Clark
college; Marilyn Olson, Stanford
university; Mike DeVore, "Loren
Jacobs, and Sue DeVoe, Univer
sity of Oregon; and Mary Kay
White and Macy Overstreet, Ore
gon State college.
Vocabulary Course
Mrs. Edna Stewart, high school
English teacher, conducted a
course . in vocabulary the next
evening. Students were inform
ed of the types of tests given by
colleges at the third session.
At the fourth session, Miss De-
lie M. Whisenant, head of the
remedial instruction department
ana testing department in the
high school, conducted a review
of English fundamentals.
The school will contact many
of the students who attended
early in November and ask them
for suggestions on improving
such an orientation program.
