O SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. Ortober 21, 1S57 Argentina's Editor Paz Agrees vVil-Si Campaign Yaged by Porter By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Latin America's best known editor agrees with the anti-dictatorship campaign being waed by Oreson's Con-m- mM. ''7'K'-'-m zressman A. RobL Smilb C h a r 1 e g O. Porter and says the Unit ed States should show a preference for the democ racies of this hemisphere. "Everybody in Latin Amer ica is very pleased, except me dictatorships," observed Alberto Gainza Paz, editor of La Prensa of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in an interview concerning reaction to Porter's campaign during the recent session of Congress. Gainza Paz, who fought Dic tator Juan Peron until Peron closed down La Prensa and forc ed the editor to flee for his life, said the case of Gerald Lester Murphy, missing Eugene, Ore., aviator, has been a big story all over South America. Porter has been the prime mover in getting action to investigate Dominican Republic agents of the govern ment of Dictator Trujillo. A fed eral erand jury Is continuing a long investigation here by listen ing to witnesses intermittently, having already brought forth in dictments against one Trujillo agent. Good Impression Created "Congressman Porter has created a very good impression in Latin America," declared the Argentine editor, here for the annual meeting of the Inter American Press Association. "I agree with him." he replied when asked what he thought of Porter's criticism of the Eisen hower administration's policy of giving equal friendship and aid to dictators and democracies in Latin America. United States cannot have the same smile for a dictatorship that it has for a democratic gov ernment. I don't think there should be any reprisals against dictatorships, but there should be a certain amount of aloofness on the part of the American gov ernment toward them." He said "The democratic peo ple of Latin America would be happy to see such an attitude" for it would tend to give moral support to democratic elements. "We resent coddling dictat ors." added Gainza Paz. Visible Contempt He recalled with visible con tempt a remark by former Secre tary of the Navy Charles S. Thomas in a visit to Argentina when Thomas compared Peron with George Washington "in a rapture of oratorical enthus iasm." Gainza Paz said there was no t t -14! few! reason for the American govern ment to bestow medals on Latin dictators, as it has in recent years. He said that for strategic mili tary reasons you can have mili tary agreements with dictator ships without praising the dicta tor as a "great defender of free dom and human rights when he isn't." La Prensa has been publish ing ever since Peron fled 'Argen tina. The Inter-American Press Association, in its meetings here, hit hard at restrictions imposed on the press in Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Leading this action of condemnation was Jules DuBois, correspondent in Latin America for the Chicago Tribune. IAPA threw out one newspaper. La Nacion, of Ciu dad Trujillo for being a mouth piece of the Trujillo government. Reaction Unanimous DuBois, who roves through out Latin America, said press re action in free countries has been "unanimous" in support of Por ter's campaign. DuBois was de scribed during the IAPA meet ings as an "irreplacable cham pion of freedom of the press" who is the "target of merciless attack by the muzzlers of a free press." Editor Pedro Chamorro of Managua, Nicaragua, credits IAPA with his being alive to day. After the assassination of Nicaraguan dictator Samoza, last fall, Chamorro was accused of instigating the killing through his writing, jailed and tortured and told to "confess." He was released only after IAPA mem ber editors began to focus public attention on the case. IAPA member newspapers inow reach 75,000,000 readers. &'-x40:43M&fc?&JdA& kbit,. !

Ham mond, 95, former Michigan ed ucator and political and business adviser, died Sunday. New York (IP) You prob ably haven't realized it, but there is a good deal of fishybacking go ing on in this country. Fishybacking? That's more or less water-going piggybacking. In the hot and heavy race of our lexicographers to keep up with our up-and-jumping lan guage, those two words have just made the dictionary. Although the dictionary doesn't say, pre sumably those well-known gen tlemen of the road, the teamsters, invented both. Piggybacking is defined: "The transporting of loaded truck trailers, especially on railroad flat cars." Fishybacking is "the transporting of loaded truck trailers by barge, ferry or sim ilar vessel. " They are included in the 1957 edition of "The American Col lege Dictionary," an erudite tone that keeps the language sorted and strives mightily every year to dig what people are saying and to stuff itself accordingly and properly. It's a pleasure to note that the current edition has caught up with aqualung, blacktop, and' bordello that it knows a tran quilizer is "any drug that reduces tension, anxiety;" and that a freeloader is "one who imposes on others for free food, enter tainment, etc." Not Strong Enough Because God made so many of them, it also is a pleasure to see that jerks, screwballs, wacks, goofs, and goops are right in there with their definitions. A jerk, it says, is "an unknowing, unsophisticated, or unconven tional person." Screwball "An erratic, accen tric, or unconventional person." Wack "An erratic, irrational, or unconventional person." Thus, apparently, a wack is a little wackier than a screwball, to feel that this whole subject is an awful nuisance, let's look at a nuisance word: Well. Many people are unable to answer a question without starting out, "well . . ." And in that usage the dictionary says the word is "merely a preliminary to further speech." In my bright lexicon, "well" ary a dictionary list the fine word uh? Unh-unh. This one does not even list "ary." However, we shouldn't carp. It lists a great one: Veep Cap V "The vice-presi dent of the United States." since he can be irrational where used thus means "uh." But does the screwball is merely eccen tric. A goop is "a bad-mannered person" and a goof is a 'foolish or stupid person." But, alas, this fine word-pile has not included the oft-heard verb form of goof, as in "somebody goofed." May be next edition. . . I also looked in vain for that popular variant of goof: Boo hoo. Perhaps the editor figured he might make a boo-boo by putting it in, because it may die out in a jiffy "A very short time. Also, jiff. Orig. unknown." Hifalutin is there, and snafu; bebop, bebopped, and hi-fi. The jet age is served by flame-out, which is "the failure of a jet en gine in flight or during take off." And, of course, youth is served by hot rod two words, in cidentally "A car usually an old one whose engine has been altered for increased speed." Hipster Missing Hipped, as if you didn't know, "He's hipped on playing the tu ba' " and you've got to be re ally hipped for that one. Hip ster, however, isn't there; not yet, that is. The current terrific usage of the adjective terrific draws a dictionary curtsey in one defin ition 'of the word: "Extraordin arily great, intense etc." Ditto for terrific's pal, awful: "Very, very great." Well, in case you're beginning a new government, shoved poli tics aside in a drive to solve the nation's fast-growing economic problems. Coty put the economic pro gram above growing demands for constitutional reforms that would ensure a strong and last ing government for France. The nation technically has no government at all now since the government of radical Maurice Bourges-Maunoury, which fell Sept. 30, resigned Friday night when conservative Antoine Pin ay decided to form a new cabin ent in the National assembly. n wwsKm or roemc I PACIFIC 9A INDUSTRIAL b S.
