No Crumb's of Comfort Dye From Reran1 Disarmament Conference, Truman Says Monday, September 30, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE (Continued from Page 1) For this, Soviet Russia will have to make full accounting before history. The recent disarmament talks in London were a complete fail ure, and it is no use trying to derive any crumbs of comfort from them. I have learned from titter experience thai the Com munist leaders in the Kremlin have no honor in their code and they will not keep agreements. The only thing they understand and respect is superior strength. This is not our standard, but it is the standard by which the Soviets conduct themselves in international and in their home affairs. But this is no reason for de spair. On the contrary, their be havior points the way for us to conduct ourselves in the light of similar situations in history. What we need to do is to com bine resoluteness with patience. Maintain Military Strength We must maintain our strength and bide our time. Let us not give the impression of hesita tion to act if provoked, and let us avoid the dangerous busi ness of weakening our military strength, lest we encourage the Kremlin to bolder adventures. I have had many opportunities to size up the methods of the Kremlin leaders, not only face to face, but also in the light of historic perspective. It seems to me that there is a close parallel between Stalin and his succes sors and Genghis Khan and his scourging adventures across Asia and Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. At the height of his conquests Genghis Khan would Thinkers Thinking About Female Answer To Manpower Bothers the Office Grouch By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York OP Wilbur, our office grouch, had his head bur ied in a newspaper when sudden ly, from the papery depths, he began yelping in anguish. "Why don't they leave us alone?" he screamed "Why don't they get out of our lives?" Whatever is bothering you now. Wilbur? "Womanpower," said Wilbur. "The thinkers in Washington are thinking - about womanpower. The secretary of labor says, and here I quote, he says, 'The future of our economy depends upon womenpower to a greater degree than ever before,' and her I un quote." Womanpower? What docs that mean? "He is talking," said Wilbur, "about working gals the female answer to manpower. He says ten million more persons will enter the U?. working force by 1965 and that more than half of them will be women. "And get this. The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says the 'manpower pinch' whatever that means probably will bring women's wages up even with men's. He says long standing taboos against female executives will be wiped out. He says maybe dames won't be climbing telephone poles or run ning bulldozers but that tradi tions will topple and they'll in vade fields that men now largely occupy." Poor Aim Wilbur wadded up the paper and hurled it across the room, narrowly missing a female exec utive and her female secretary having a coffee break together. Bulldozers . . . telephone poles . . . what next?" he muttered. ''Women mailmen, maybe? Oh, no. they couldn't do that. They'd open all the letters and read 'em in the swift completion of their appointed rounds. Train engineers, maybe! Whoo-Whoo! Mrs. Casey Jones . . . Come all ye children if you want to hear a story of a brave broad engineer . . . " he crooned. Then be began puffing like a locomative. The female excutive and the secretary watched him nervously. "Women Santa Clauses! Ho, ho. ho! Merry Christcas!" roared Wilbur, his eyes strangely alight. "They'll never get that job they couldn't stand to give all those things away." Some Naturals A crafty look came on his face. "I know," he said. "I know just the thing. They can take over steering the rear end of the sec ond section of hook-and-ladder fire trucks. They are natural backseat drivers. Ah, ha-ha-ha-ha! But they'd probably want to change the style of those fire department hats, wouldn't you, dearie?" He addressed the question to the two women. They just stared. "Maybe eventually they'll give female excutives men stenogra phers to sit in their laps," Wil bur continued. "And how about their invad ing the field of dentistry? That's ideal. They could fill the pa tient's mouth with instruments so he couldn't talk back and then blab away at him to their heart s content." He paused, frowned, and then snapped his fingers. I've got it! The perfect job. Women bums. It's a field they haven't yet invaded. The general job of hobo. Dou you agree?" The two working ladies could not answer. They had fled.

Ground Broken for St. Luke's Church ' Ground was broken yesterday for the new St. Luke's Methodist church in ceremonies at the corner of Sisikyou st. and South Modoc ave. Construction on the first unit of the edifice is to start soon. Regular church services were held at the site with the Rev. Melvin. Dixon presiding. The Rev. Meredith Groves, former Medford pastor and now super intendent of the Eugene district of the church, compared the con gregation's efforts to construct a church to other similar pro jects in the district. Mayor John Snider offered whatever assistance which he and the city council could render and praised the members for their planned addition to the city of Medford. James Whipple, Drain, district secretary of church extension and one of Oregon's main Metho dist lay leaders, also spoke. Taking part in the actual ground breaking were Rev. Groves. Snider, Rev. Dixon, Whipple. William Wilson, local lay leader; Clifford Platz, chair man of the board of trustees of St. Luke's, and Miss Gladys Bond, representing Dr. I. D. Phipps. who donated the prop erty to the church. Myra S. I'm tired of being a career woman. Fred S. Her quitting would mean a comedown in our liv ing standard. Myra S. I have been a car eer woman and a mother for the past eight years and I'm getting a little sick of it. I would like to quit working, but my husband is against that. I made a very good salary when we were married ten years ago and I wanted to con tinue working right up to the birth of our first baby. My boss never got a good replacement for me, so I came back to work a month after the baby was born. Then there were so many things we needed that I con tinued working. Now we have three children and I am still working. I have a good housekeeper, but the children even ask me why I don't stay home like other moth ers. I can't give them much time evenings and week ends be cause I am too tired and must take care of all kinds of per sonal things. Mostly, though, I just like fussing around my home like other women. Fred S. Myra gives the im pression that I'm some sort of slave driver, but that isn't so I'm trying to think in terms of what's best for all of us. Myra has never been much of a housekeeper. The work would bore her after a few weeks. The kids are getting along beautiful ly with the woman who has been . with us all these years. They are as healthy and alert as anv kids whose mother is Color Scheme Used For Farm Safely Chicago P J. W.

Yel low marks stumbling hazards. Blue is used to identify electrical controls and caution areas. In territorial days the name of Arkansas was often spelled as Arkansaw. President Is Right, Dean Acheson Says Washington IIP) Former Secretary of State Dean Ache- son said Saturday that Presi dent Eisenhower was "altogeth er right" in using troops to maintain order in Little Rock. He told a news conference that when the Governor of a State calls out the military force of the state to interfere with. orders of a court "you have something . . . nearly approach ing insurrection." He said such a situation leaves the president no alternative but to suppress it. "It seems to me he was alto gether right to do so," Acheson added. As for the Littel Rock inte gration trouble in general, he said "it is a blow to American prestige and .leadership in the world." COMMUNISTS RESIGN Messina, Italy (IP) Eighteen local Communist leaders in a half-dozen Sicilian communities resigned from the party en masse Sunday, charging that the party fails to "understand the needs of the workers." The chief of Communist organizing in Italy, Giorgio Amendole, admit ted last week that the party has lost 200.000 members since the Soviet denunciation of Stalin last February. A DfrtSJOFI Of PACIFIC muUKE PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL 16 S. Central Phone SP 3-5308 around all day. Myra has chosen just the wrong time to decide to quit work. We just bought a new home and we are barely keep ing up with expenses. Her quit ting would mean a comedown in our standard of living. She wouldn't like that either. Our youngest child is just about to enter kindergarten so the worst is really over as far as manag ing them is concerned. Myra has a guilt complex about leaving the kids and they know how to play on it. The Council It is very un fortunate that Myra has never had the experience of being able o stay at home and '"fuss" around her home as well as being able to enjoy her children when she is not tired and dis tracted by other things. The chil dren may be getting along nice ly with the housekeeper, but Myra is being robbed. Fred evidently doesn't realize that most women are tempera mentally different from men and find a steady job routine a bit hard to take. If a woman has a home and children, yet is forc ed to give up her rightful close contact with both to some other woman, she is likely to develop some hidden resentment. Her job becomes more irksome and the whole thing takes its toll in 'emotional terms. A comedown in living stan dards would not be a great sac rifice to make for Myra's emo tional happiness, yet that come down is probably not as great as Fred predicts. Aside from the housekeeper's salary, other savings could be made by more careful management on Myra's part: She may find that she likes to sew and this alone would make a big difference in the budget. Myra will undoubtedly have her days of boredom in the home, but it is quite likely that she has known such days on the job too without getting any of the richer experiences she could have enjoyed with her children. (Copyright 1957; General Features Corp.) negotiate with no one except on his terms. His sway seemed lim itless until he reached Europe where he was stopped. All con uerors overextend themselves; his empire began to crumble with his descendants. His grand son, Kublai Khan, realized that he had to negotiate and make treaties and keep them. Since that time we have wit nessed a number of conquerors attempt again and again to in vade and dominate many areas of the world, only to end up in failure, always leaving their sur vivors the task of negotiating for peace. Human beings, what ever their race or origin, value freedom above all else, and no conqueror or dictator can ever hold them down for long. Significant Change Expected I think that in our lifetime we may hope to see a significant change take place in Russia. But we must act with wisdom and strength in the light of history. We may even hasten that day if the Russian people can be giv en to understand that their leaders will not be allowed to go any further. Together with our friends and Allies in the Free World we can prevent a tragedy of an overexpanded Rus sia. The real danger confront ing free men today stems not alone from Communist imperial istic militarism but from its in sidious preversion of men's minds. I wonder if Egypt and Syria, whom I would like to see as parts of a happy and prosperous Middle East at peace with their neighbors, realize what would be in store for them, as Mos lems, under the domination of the Kremlin. Before they com mit themselves irrevocably. 1 would suggest they look at Hun gary and Poland and other Sov iet satellites where deeply re liqious people have been sub jugated and outraged. The Arabs, with their eyes on Mecca, would have no better fate than any other religious people on the European or Asian conti nent. Can't Attract Masses Soviet Russia cannot attract the masses of people anywhere to her way of life where the in dividual is not subordinate to the state. In four decades since the Communists took over Rus sia, not a single nation has vol untarily adopted Communism in a free election. Russia will be stopped, and must be stopped, in her evil de sign to force slavery upon free peoples in the guise of libera tion. This can be done not by soft words and smiling counten ances, and, least of all, not by panicky reaction to Russia's pro paganda moves. We must also understand that some of our Allies are undergoing serious strain under the burden of arm aments. Therefore, we must not at any time falter in maintain ing our strong position, since we are the principal deterrent and discouraging force to Com munist imperialism. Ike's Vacation Ends; To Meet Governors Newport, R.I. (IP) Presi dent Eisenhower's vacation ap peared Saturday to be coming to an end. J The President will return to Washington for a meeting Tues- j day with five southern gover-; nors, and it seemed likely he would not return to his vacation retreat at Coasters Harbor Is-! land. j Although Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said he did " not know whether the i Tuesday date in Washington j would mean the end of the Pres- j ident's vacation, there were in- dications in other areas of the White House vacation staff that ! Eisenhower would probably re turn to the capital Monday for good.
