W1 MAIL TRIBUNE The President's Speech We have been asked what we thought of the President's "State of the Union" speech. Well, we thought it a good one. In fact, we would go along with the congress man who considered it the best President Eisen hower has ever delivered. (Incidently that is not, in our case at least, as high a compliment as a casual observer might suppose.) DUT, in our judgment, it was in no sense a GREAT speech. It was vigorous, pertinent, re assuring, persuasive and above all, as the Presi dent stood there before a packed chamber with SUPER earnestness and strain, making his points clear, he did cut a gallant and inspiring in a sense, a really touching and heroic figure. DECAUSE it was NOT a great speech there was really nothing new or unexpected in it we were surprised at the frequent bursts of en thusiastic applause. According to the press-reports the President was interrupted by applause 39 times, while a year ago in his, 1957 "State of the Union" speech he was practically ignored ap plause interrupted him only FIVE times. That is a jump on the "applause meter" of about 800 almost as much of a sensational burst as "Sputnik." OOW come? Well, we have an idea it is really a problem for a psychiatrist. But in lieu of one, our guess is the bursts of spontaneous applause were as much or MORE, for the MAN, as for what he said. The partial answer is, we believe, "EVERY ONE LIKES Ike." Yes, it is just as simple as that. Everyone doesn't agree with him, many com pletely reject his FUNDAMENTAL political philosophy (which we do) but no one or practically no one dislikes the man. Even those who do, have something the conciliating attitude of the Hollywood "Western" hero saying, "don't shoot the piano player, he is doing the best he can!" VES, the volume and frequency of the applause surprised us. , But after some consideration and after being forced to hear the speech or parts of it over the air at least a dozen times our conclusion is that as far as an understanding of the speech is concerned and the effect it promises to have upon the future, the times the congress did NOT applaud, Kad more significance than the times it did. FOR example, when the president said "all the " peoples of the. world want peace," one of the loudest and most prolonged outbursts occurred. Yet, the President has often made the same observation, it is as well-seasoned a platitude, as could be imagined. It had no more originality or real significance than Calvin Coolidge's pastor's pronouncement, that he was against sin." . On the other hand, when the President, with force and courage, upheld the policy of continued "foreign aid," continuation of the reciprocal tar iff, federal aid to U.S. education, the sharing of atomic secrets with our allies, and other less trite and more controversial and important topics, he was greeted, the tape-recording shows, with silence. I N OTHER words, we as an excellent one, particularly from the stand point of President Eisenhower's basic political beliefs and his conception of "Modern" as op posed to "Ancient" Republicanism. But its importance historically and politically will depend not upon what was said but how the congress reacts to it. It may well be a case of the President "dis poses" but the ultra conservative coalition in congress Disposes. Only the future can determine this, so we shall have to wait and see. R.W.R. Nothing Is We have also been asked to explain a state ment in a recent Oregonian credited to the present writer that he believed, quote: "Medford has the best city government it ever has had and it is probably as perfect as anything designed by human hands could be." Our critic inquires somewhat caustically: "How do you' get that way? I don't say our present city government is the worst in history but it is not far from it." "IXELL, so it goes! We can't agree at all with our communi cant. We think the present city government is one of the best if not THE best in the memory of the undersigned and that memory, while noth ing to wTite home about, goes back many, many years. LIOWEVER that may be, the point we wish to make, is this: Some time ago, one of the members of the editorial staff of the Oregonian asked this de partment to give its opinion of how the "Council Manager" form of government had worked out in Medford. We sent a sizeable letter in reply and among other things, did write what the Oregonian, in Sunday, January 12, 1958 would classify the speech "Perfect ' does H4VINT ths flu mbah he cant TEACH MB TO ice SKAT6 THIS AFTERNOON ? Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR It is unusual for the leader of the opposition to make a statement, like Sen. Johnson's on Tuesday, just two days before' the President de 1 i v e r e d his mess age oh the state of the union. But the- circum stances were unusual in waiter Lippmann that the Presi dent, when he faced the country on Thurs day, had, for the first time in his experience, an audience which does not accept his military judgment on his own say-so. The two speeches he made after the Sputniks, and the various comments that emanated from Mr. ' Hagerty and others in his official fam ily, have only added to the mood of skepticism and doubt. He cannot tell the country what to believe. He will have to convince it. Yet is is most important to an orderly and effective treatment of the problem that leadership should remain in the President's hands,' that what is surely an executive task should not drift by de fault into the hands of Con gress. The state of the union message is almost certain to make or break the President's power o leadership in this Congress. Did the President realize the problem? If not, he had a timely warning from Sen. Johnson. The Senator disclosed to him, before it was too late to make changes in his message, the hand of the opposition party which is in control of the Congress. This was a great service to Presi dent Eisenhower, and a most generous and statesmanlike act. BESIDES presenting a sum mary of the issues and problems which Congress will expect the President to deal with, the Johnson statement makes a point of principle which has in it the saving truth. It is not an easy and obvious point to explain, and if it is to be brought home to this country, it will re quire the highest art of those who make it their business to describe and explain and make intelligible the difficult themes. Sen. Johnson, who has plainly learned much from some of the best minds among uSj puts this point of principle as follows: "We have, for many years, been preoccupied an editorial survey of the state later printed. We were not misquoted. But as often happens when a brief quotation is made out of a considerable context, an entirely wrong interpretation can be made, and in this case, was. THAT is, we did not say the present city GOV ERNMENT is as perfect as human hands could make it or words to that effect. What we did say was that we believe the Council-Manager SYSTEM FORM for a city of this size, had proved to be the best in our muni cipal history. But we added as the letter will show that, of course, no system is perfect, nor can any system in itself automatically produce good government, any more than the best motor car money can buy, can produce the best, safest and most skillful driving. It is in the last analysis the human factor that determines the net outcome the man at the wheel in one case, the men at the "city wheel" in the other. Well, we have and have had good men AND a good system that is the answer. That was all made plain enough in the letter as a whole, but we grant the sentence quoted was easily susceptible to a different interpretation. We hope this explanation will make the mat ter clear, as far as our somewhat disturbed sub scriber is concerned. I with weapons. We are, even now, concerned with what some currently regard as the ultimate weapon. But, when we perfect such a weapon for ourselves we may still be far behind. The urgent race we are now in or which we must enter is not the race to perfect long-range ballistic missiles," important as that is. "There is something more important than any "ultimate weapon. That is the ultimate position the position of total control over earth that lies somewhere out in space." The basic truth in this state ment lies in the idea that the race or armaments is now an incidental by-product of a much greater thing the sci entific exploration of the na ture of the universe through man's ability to project his scientific instruments into outer space. Sen. Johnson, it seems to me, has weakened, has dilut ed, the truth he had got hold of by setting up the notion that the conquest of outer space would now lead to a physical, military, control of the whole earth. This is al most certainly not true. For even if it were true that from outer space the world's weath er can be managed, and ter rible bombs dropped any where on earth, it will still not be true that the United States and the Soviet Union can by advancing into outer space dominate the earth. It is as certain as anything can be that the scientific know ledge of outer space cannot become the monopoly of any one nation, and that out there as on earth there would be a fluctuating balance of pow er. TT IS not true that the ex- ploration of outer space is a military proposition. The main objection to using this as an argument is that, while this prospect may prove pop ular with some people, it will not evoke that highest kind of scientific work which is needed for the conquest of outer space. The military dom ination of the globe is not an idea that will inspire enough or many of the young men of genius in the creative years of their lives. This cannot be proved ob jectively. But I think it will be understood by those who have known well men work ing in the higher reaches of human knowledge. If We want them to go far, we must hitch our wagon to a star. (Copyright 1858 New York Herald Tribune Inc.) R.W.R. Matter of Fact HOW BOLD. HOW NEW? Washington When that tactless fellow, former Secre tary of Defense Charles Wil- Pr1"" son. was ask ed whether he considered a defense bud get of $40 bil lion too high, he replied: "I wouldn't think so. That would hardly cover the cost of inflation. Charlie Wil fca- Ste wart Alsop son's words are worth bear ing in mind, in trying to judge the reality that lies behind the fine words of the Presi dent's state of the union mes sage. Budgets are boring, at least to most people. But the defense budget does provide a fairly accurate measuring stick of the national response to the Soviets challenge. The President's supplement al request for this fiscal year raises the current defense budget some $1.3 billion above the previous, or Wilson, level, to the neighborhood of $40 billion. Secretary of De fense Neil McElroy has said that the defense budget for the next fiscal year will also be close to the $40 billion mark. How much of a step up in the nationa defense ef fort does a $40 billion defense budget really represent.? THE answer seems to be that the new level does not real ly represent any sharp in crease in the overall defense effort at all, but only a shift of emphasis. Take the project ed 1959 defense spending bud get. It is expected to include about $700 million more for personnel pay. This wiU pro vide some needed extra butter for those who get the raise. But it will provide no new guns. Thus the real increase in expenditures for actual hard ware over the Wilson level will be under $1 billion in fiscal 1959. As Wilson so tact lessly said, this will "hardly cover the increased cost of inflation." The fact is that, instead of buying a lot more defense, the Administration means to buy a somewhat dif ferent kind of defense. Take the Air Force as an example. The Air Force share of the new budget will be about $19 billion, a propor tion now long sanctified by tradition. Included in this share are big increases for such Air Force missiles as Atlas and Thor. But these in creases will be balanced by sharp cutbacks in spending for manned aircraft, notably the B-52 strategic bomber, the basic weapon of the Strategic Air Command. An arbitrary upper limit of about 600 planes has been set for SAC's B-52s. This will mean that further purchases of B-52s will end in the coming fiscal year. rpHE Increased missile effort will also be financed out of our already depleted con ventional forces. Still another cut of 100,000 in military personnel is contemplated. As in the past, the cut will doubt less be largely at the expense of the Army Ground Forces, which partly explains the des pair of such Army men as Gen. James Gavin. For our ability to fight limited wars will be further reduced, at a time when Soviet nuclear missile power is beginning to make unlimited nuclear war a suicidal alternative. Even the increased empha sis on missiles does not really represent an all-out effort. For example, Secretary of the Air Force James Douglas has predicted that we will be pro ducing operational Atlas mis siles before 1960. His fore cast may have been optimis tic, but it was perfectly ser ious the schedule calls for test-firing an Atlas over the full 5000 mile course this year. But a missile like Atlas is littue Ise unless it is sup ported by an enoromously complex base' system which takes years to build. Each base costs around $100 million. Because the prospects for the Atlas were thought to be so good, it was proposed by the Air Force to start work immediately on six more bases. For economy reasons, serious work is to be started on only one base. Thus the chances are that in the fairly near future we shall be pro ducing many more ICBMs than we shall have bases from which to fire them which is an odd sort of economy. IN THIS and other ways, the effort even in the newly fashionable missile field is far less than total. It will be said correctly that $40 bil lion is a lot of money. But power is a relative matter, and the only realistic way to measure our defense effort is in terms of the power of our potential enemy. The Rocke feller Fund panel, which measured our defense in those terms, asked for an immedi ate increase on the order of $3 billion. The Gaither Com mittee, which did a similar job, reached a similar con clusion, asking for graduated ST" S f ii tTm m By Stewart AIsop increases up to $8 billion over the current level. Both groups urged a major effort to en sure our ability to fight limit ed wars. Perhaps it is too early to judge, particularly now that defense has become what it would have been, but for the timidity of mpst Democrats, years ago a major national political issue. But as of to day, our "bold, new" defense program looks neither very bold nor very new. It looks like essentially the same old product, but somewhat rede signed, and put into a bright new package. Copyright 1958, New York Herald Tribune Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS President Eisenhower's mes sage on the state of the union is much too long and much too important to be discussed off the cuff. But he made three statements that are easily understood: 1. I direct this message from the American people to the Russian people: "Join us immediately in the reduction of world tensions and move toward a genuine peace." 2. However, until the lead ers of the Soviet Union show some signs of sincerely co operating with the West, AMERICA MUST REMAIN STRONG. 3. Whatever the differences between the armed services, AMERICA WANTS THEM STOPPED. AS TO Statement No. 1 (wriiph in a nrnnnsal in the Russian people that we seek to find a way to get along together in the world) let's go back some 2,000 years into history. Rome and Car thage occupied in the world of that day almost the iden tical positions now occupied by the United States and Rus sia. They faced two choices: 1. Find a way to coexist ence. 2. FIGHT IT OUT. rpHEY fought it out. - Carthage was UTTERLY destroyed. Rome, left in com plete mastery of the world, rose but finally FELL. Aft er the fall of Rome came the Dark Ages, during which nearly everything that was good in the world disap peared. AS TO statement No. 2: If we are to find a way to get along with Russia, we must remain IMPREGNABLY STRONG. There is no other way to get along with Communist Russia. OTATEMENT No. S stands on its own feet. Whatever the differences between our armed serv ices, America wants them STOPPED.

Peggy Ashton, Secretary, Medford Lady Lions Foolish, Pitiful Humans To the Editor: Nov. 29, 1947, is certainly not long ago, regardless of bad weath er previous or since. Mother nature did offer compensation in the form of a pageant of magnificence fit for the Gods, as the saying goes. There was a sunset so gloriously inspir ing it could never be for gotten by ones who were fortunate spectators. All that day clouds were arranged and rearranged by an Artist who can't be emulat ed. Designs and ' color tones had to be the quintessence of perfection so as not to detract from the one and only star of his kind in all creation (Mr. Sun). At the appointed time an Angel must have pushed the button, and there on display was heavenly splendor so sublime it was positively breath-taking. Without realization, the human soul must have gone down on its knees, while the observer stood on his feet, awe-stricken. The after-effect was a minimization of the greatest of human achieve ments, and realization that the present world trouble is IP0TLUCCC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) The New Year is a week and a half old time enough for most of us to have gotten around to breaking those New Year's resolutions, if any. But not one enterprising university student, a reporter on the Daily Emerald at the U. of O., who resolved not to kick small dogs, not to rob mailboxes and not to turn in false alarms to the fire depart ment. This is not only a New Year it is also the start of an election year, to the mixed sorrow and elation of those en the news staff who will from now on have to contend with the jealou sies, the plots and counter plots, the sensitivities and the obduracies of office seekers, not to mention hav ing to cover all those long winded political meetings, in reporting the always-interesting political news. One of our writers, who has had some previous experience in political reporting, declares this is the time that politi cians "go into their annual dance step. It seems to be a combination of a feinting shuffle and a sidestep." He explains, "The shuffle is designed to make one's op ponent think an incumbent is Editorial Comment WE'RE NOT READY YET, ANYHOW The Rogue rive flood con trol and reclamation bill, in troduced in congress by Rep. Charles O. Porter, has slight chance of being enacted at the present session, according to an article by A. Robert Smith in the Medford Mail Tribune. Smith is the syndi cated Washington correspond ent for a number of Oregon newspapers. We have followed the Rogue rive development program closely since arrival in Grants Pass. We also have confer red with Rep Porter on sev eral occasions in connection with this bill, and feel safe in saying that at no time was it his idea that the bill would be enacted into law at the present session. Rather Rep Porter assured members of the Rogue Valley Flood Control and Water Re sources Development Assn. that he would introduce the bill subject to amendment when U.S. Army Engineers complete their survey and make their report, now ex pected some time this fall, The bill then will embrace flood control recommenda tions of the Army Engineers, tied in with any irrigation projects indorsed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The complete "package," when it is ready, will be of vital importance to the entire Rogue valley. It will provide dams, either on the main stem of the Rogue or major tribua- ries, for flood control and also to release stored water dur ing the dry summer months. It will provide additional water for the irrigation of large tracts of land in both Josephine and Jackson coun ties'. It will provide water for industrial use and this wiU be vital to continued develop ment both in Medford ana Grants Pass. When the Porter bill final ly has been amended to in clude recommendations of army engineers, it should be acceptable to all persons in the Rogue valley save the most confirmed die-hards. Then will be the time to press for its enactment. The Army Engineers only recommend. It is hp to areas benefited to take these recommendations and carry them to Congress. PerhaDs by then the Sput nik scare will have subsided somewhat, with Congress again in the mood to appropri ate funds for essential domes tin nroiects. Anyone who wit nessed the damage wrought by the disastrous flood of uec pmber. 1955. can attest that control of the Rogue in its winter freshets is vital. It nrobablv is fortunate that the local project is not suf ficiently advanced to come under the embareo now pro posed. Rep. Porter can put the finishing touches on nis hill at leisure and have it ready for speedy action when Congress finally decides it again is safe to loosen the nurse strines for domestic flood control and reclamation.

And some prac ticed politicians sidestep all hot issues which may cost votes." Not all politicians are like this, thank the Good Lord. Some of them live up to the honorable name of their profession, which means the practice of poli tics, which in turn is de fined as the art and science of government. Before getting off the sub ject of politics, we should re port that the weather, also, has some effect, and not only on election day. One county official was scheduled to make a speech not long ago, and when the night turned out to be one of those nasty, foggy ones, de cided to telephone instead. This was done, and the group was told any questions would be welcome, and would be answered via telephone. Our farm editor attended an auction recently, and ob served how a twitch of the finger or lift of the should er can sometimes be used in making a bid. He opined, "An ambitious flea could certainly create havoc at one of the livestock auction yards." A Medford police officer the other day picked up a ringing telephone. Thinking it was an inter-office call, he jocosely said "Racket Squad" into the receiver, and then spent several minutes explain ing to the bewildered lady on the other end of the line that that it WAS the MPD. As a result, his section has been dubbed the racket squad by the rest of the force. A member of our staff tried to wash his car the other night when the wind was blowing so hard. He re ports he managed to do a fairly respectable job on the car, but did a far better job of giving himself a cold shower.

Sundav night one staff member was watching the Rosemarv Cloonev show when one of the cast halted a dra matic skit in mid - sentence, looked direcUy at the audi ence, and exclaimed. "Stop. that woman is munching!" The staff member almost dropped her pickle sandwich on the floor.
