"The Public Be Damned"
We knew it all along. And often have said so.
But we never expected the "Friendly S.P." and
of all things its President, .to admit it.
But he has. And in cold type directly from the
Southern Pacific Public Relations department.
Yes there it all is for those who run because
they can't take a train may read, in cold, hard
and unanswerable type.
What is?
Well a number of things.
But we would place first the verification of
the claim often made in this department that the
motivating force in this billion-dollar corporation
is GREED (plain unadulterated greed) and
that the only thing the "Friendly Southern Pa
cific" really is friendly to is the EXTRA buck.
And there its friendship mounts to a consum
ing, completely possessing passion.
IT HAS certainly never been friendly to the peo-
pie of Southern Oregon where in violation of
its original franchise, it abandoned all passenger
service in one of the most productive and rapidly-
growing sections of the

claim of loss which was
with no operative evidence to sustain it?
No.
Was the request that the billion dollar cor
poration make the record of its net profits in this
300 mile area, freight AND passenger, public
ever complied with?
No.
And here, in the official report of the rail
road's 1957 earnings, is the answer.
FOR what were the net profits of the SP last
irn9 Tt,A,' 1 tCA OCA COC f(
That is approximately $4,500,000 a month, or over
a million dollars a week.
And yet in spite of their friendly feelings, and
what their President calls
ly "progressive" policies, they could not afford
to meet their obligations as a public utility even
as a two year experiment or satisfy the demands
of approximately 250,000 people m this area,
because by their own figures their total net m
come, after overhead and taxes, would then only
be the sum of $54,257,686.00 or approximately
only $4,230,000 a month!
IT IS plain to see from
to the eyes of the SP's highly regarded President,
and presumably reproach, if not censure, from his
Board of Directors.
For as before stated
that the "Friendly "S.P."
pie of this area or any other, who pay out millions
to the SP every year in high freight charges and
profits, don t like it well they can lump it and
jump m the lake as far as this mighty and multi
million dollar public utility is concerned. '
This, of course, is nothing new.
It has always been theSP's basic policy and
promises so to continue as long as the present
management endures at least. Let the dogs bark
and howl the 100-car
and on ! And the SP stock, unlike most railroad
stocks in the present market, stands firm or as
it did yesterday, goes up steadily.
OK, IT'S nice work if you can get it.
But don't rest under the delusion the SP
President is satisfied with such profit. Far from
it. We quote :
"The railroad made substantial savings during 1957
but not enough . . . the return c4i the railroad's net in
vestment less than 3 per cent is INADEQUATE."
Well lets see 3 per cent net on say a billion
dollars (the SP valuation) is $30,000,000. An
annual income of that stature may be peanuts to
the "largest railroad in the United States," but it
would appear we should say quite a substantial
nest egg to most of the railroad's patrons.
DUT President Russell says it all only shows the
crying need for higher freight and passenger
rates the "rate increases granted in 1957" he
says "were too little and too late." He wants the
abolishment of all regulatory bodies including
the I.C.C. and the Oregon Public Utility Com
mission, we assume for they are "out of date",
and finally any present laws which "keep any
transportation agency from moving into another
field" such as trucks, busses, air, pipelines
(oil), etc., etc.
Once more it is nice work if you can get it.

HALF WAY TO
THE SUMMIT
We are now engaged, as all
the world knows, in negotiat
ing with the Russians on the
q;u e s tion of
how we can
negotiate with
the Russians
This is a ques
tion which
lends itself to
a certain con
fusion, and to
that confusion
Walter LlDomann "6M
TWV IT-, bo,t
in some re
marks on the television pro
gram "Face the Nation" has
now made a contribution.
Until Mr. Hagerty spoke it
had been generally taken for
granted that the President's
position, as established by Sec
retary Dulles, is that he will
not meet Mr. Khruschev at
the summit until Mr. Dulles
has negotiated agreements
which can be approved. The
idea was supposed to be that
the President and Mr. Khrush
chev would meet at the sum
mit not to negotiate the big
issues but to approve agree
ments on some of them which
had already been negotiated.
But if Mr. Hagerty on Sun
day was not talking out of
turn, this is not the Presi
dent's position. For if what
Mr. Hagerty said is what the
President means, he is ready
to meet in a summit meeting
if Mr. Dulles and the other
foreign ministers cen "agree
on what we can discuss." And
Mr. Hagerty went on .to say.
according to the newspaper
reports, that "they do not
have to reach agreement
even, it appears on the areas
of discussion as the Presi
dent said, we would merely
like to know what we would
like to discuss."
rHIS sounds as if the Presi
dent was ready to go to
the summit with nothing more
agreed upon than a list of
topics that the Russians and
we ourselves would like to
discuss. Mr. Hagerty cannot
have meant that, or if he did
mean it, he will soon be hear
ing from Mr. Dulles. For Mr.
Dulles, quite rightly in my
view, is not likely to let the
President go to a meeting with
Mr. Khruschev until it has
become certain that they can
reach an acceptable agree
ment on something that has
substance and significance.
Mr. Hagerty's off-hand re
marks on the television pro
gram are not a state document
for which he can be held
strictly accountable. But there
is a certain plausibility in
thinking that he has here re

flected, perhaps inadvertent
ly, something like the spirit
of the President's personal at
titude as distinguished from
the letter of " the Dulles of
ficial line.
THE basic issue is whether
to negotiate down below
and then to meet at the sum
mit, or to meet at the summit
and then negotiate down be
low. On this issue there are two
schools of thought. There is
what we may call the ortho
dox school which is represent
ed not only by Mr. Dulles but
also by Mr. Kennan, by Presi
dent Heuss of Germany and
by the great majority of pro
fessional diplomats and exper
ienced observers in foreign
affairs. They distrust and dis
like, spectacular meeting at
the summit except to cele
brate agreements reached
quietly down below.
But there is another school,
which may conceivably be
the modern school, who are
entitled to great respect even
if one does not follow them.
They hold that the only way
to promote fruitful and ser
ious negotiations down below
is to give them a push from
the summit. They would like,
therefore, to have a meeting
at the summit in the hope
that it will cause substantial
negotiations to begin down
below.
THEIR argument, which was
new to me, until I heard it
recently, is that in dealing
with a dictatorship like that
in the Soviet Union, nothing
can be initiated and nothing
can be decided except by the
small oligarchy at the top.
Until the leading members of
this ruling oligarchy can make
personal contact with the men
at the top with wnom xney
have to negotiate, they must
depend on their complicated
and rather wooden bureauc
racy not merely for their in
formation on the outside
world but for their under
standing of what the informa
tion means. They are not sat
isfied with this. Therefore,

S. P. Parking Moratorium
To the Editor: Several
weeks ago (the precise date
can be traced by the police
department, because from all
indications, they must have
had an enormous turn - over
in parking violations), my
wife came to town to drive
me home, and parked her car
on Sixth st. between Fir and
Grape. . -
She placed enough money
in the meter to allow her
ample time to walk to the
First National bank and re
turn before the meter ran out.
Her crossing the tracks was
halted by an S.P. freight. It
was a long string of cars, and
slowly-maneuvered and ex
asperating, not only for her
but for a string of traffic back
three or four blocks west of
the tracks. I failed to count
how many cars were in that
jam, but I did see two police
cars in the same plight.
Meanwhile, the "eager bea
vers" who guard the meters
had a Roman holiday and
parking tickets were dis
pensed with the compli
ments of the "Friendly South
ern Pacific," et al.
I know that we need an ef
ficient city government and
an alert police force, and a
united front against traffic
violations, but how about pro
claiming a moratorium on
parking violations during
such acts of "Southern Pacif
icisms" as we often experience
in Medford?

To the Editor: Fear ha!
four letters, same as love, but
does not mean the same but
ruins life and fame, and
around the world creates war
in many ways a great uproar.
Today we have too much
fear both near and far.
Fear keeps us worried
someone may destroy us some
day, but as I have always
lived the next few lines I
write will explain my way.
There are three words that
to me have always been in
their meaning a great char
acter builder and my guide
and they are Truth, Love and
Honesty. To live that way
there is no fear. But with
some that meaning does not
abound. But as I have been
told the world is round, but
sometimes I think it may be
square.
Because for you and I so
may we find little bumps we
get from corners here and
there, but there is Truth,
Honesty and Love I have
found while I 'have roamed
this land from east to west,
and some of those we .really
hurt and wound are many of
those we may love the best
And we praise many we do
not know, we may try and
please the fleeting guest and
at any time hi,t many a sense
less blow to many we should
love the very best.
The three words' meanings
do not always abound and
sometimes in this great land
I wonder if we do not forget
to use the meaning of these
three great words we always
have at hand.
When I was young and had
sweethearts by the score
would in love letters rhyme
about all the places that we
had been and what a fine
time we had of yore.
But now my age has come

that anymore.

the purpose of initiating seri
ous diplomatiq negotiations
down below.
It seems to me a strong
case but not a conclusive one
For there may be ways of
dealing with the central point
of this argument, which has
very considerable force, with
out the risks and disadvan
tages of an improvised meet
ing at the summit.
One of these ways might be
to have Vice President Nixon
visit Moscow during his
promised trip to Europe this
summer. That might be taken
by Mr. Khrushchev as evi
dence that the President was
willing to begin by meeting
him half-way. And the Vice
President might bring back
with him some fresh impres
sions of what the Russians in

Today is 25th Anniversary of
Hitler's Assumption
By DONALD R. SHANOR
United Press Correspondent
Frankfurt, Germany (IP)
Twenty-five years ago today
dying President Paul von
Hindenburg signed a procla
mation appointing a new pre
mier and condemning five
million Germans to death.
It was thus legally and
bloodlessly that Adolf Hit
ler took over the chancellor
ship and embarked on a de
cade of gangsterism which
drenched Europe in blood.
Hitler and his lieutenants
ended their rule 12 years lat
er in the only way they ad
mitted it could end, as cor
pses. The Germans who survived
crawled from the rubble in
1945 and slowly established in
the western half of their coun
try a new constitution with
built-in safe-guards against an
other democratic suicide.
But even today they uneasi
ly recalled- the fateful pro
clamation a quarter of a cen
tury ago.
Didn't Trust Hitler
Hindenburg disliked and
distrusted Hitler and only
four days earlier had de
clared he would never ap
point "the little Austrian
corporal" as chancellor.
But by Jan. 30, 1933, the
85 -year -old President, ap
parently alarmed by rumors
of a violent government coup
in the making, finally agreed
to accept Hitler as chancellor.
Hindenburg's advisers, led
by Franz von Papen, assured
him that once Hitler was in
office, they could control and
manipulate him.
Less than two months later,
on March 23, a Nazi-packed
parliament voted Hitler dic
tatorial powers.
Six months later, all other
parties had been dissolved or
banned and Germany became
a totalitarian Nazi state.
Hindenburg appointed Hit
ler under the emergency
clause of the constitution
which did not require parlia
ment's approval.
Majority Impossible
The country had been run
by this clause since 1930,
when continued squabbling in
parliament made it impossible
to form any kind of majority.
But Hindenburg's choice
was a popular one. More than
17 million Germans of 39 mil
lion voted Nazi in the relative
ly free elections Hitler called
two months later. He then
banned the Communists to
give his party a majority. The
"legal revolution" was com
plete. Hitler launched a vigorous
program of fulfilling his elec
tion promises. He created jobs
for- the country's nearly six
million jobless. He began rais
ing an army to "right the
wrongs" of the Versailles
Treaty. His savage persecu
tion of the Jews was another
thing he had promised the
voters.
Goebbels Made Boast
If it was a long-term gov
ernment Hindenburg wanted
when he accepted Hitler, he
certainly got it. Goebbels
wrote in 1932 that "Once we
have power, we never will
give it up. They would have
to carry our bodies out." -

Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
ADENAUER ON
NEGOTIATIONS
Bonn In the era of the
wishful-thinkers, Konf ad Ade
nauer is the great surviving
realist. Physi
cally, he more
and more re-
J sembles a dow-
toric creature,
obstinately liv
ing on into an
age that is not
his own. His
views on-'nego-
josepn aisod .tiating with
the Soviets strike the same
note as his appearance.
"As I made clear at the
NATp meeting in Paris," he
told me, "I believe in East
West negotiations.. Some day
there must be a world settle
ment, and it must be reached
by negotiation. But I do not
believe that the Western na
tions can negotiate success
fully with the Soviets unless
three essential conditions
have been fully met."
Speaking with a grim final
ity that admitted no argu
ment, raising a bony fore
finger to emphasize each suc
cessive point, the Chancellor
ticked off his three conditions.
First, the "West must be abso
lutely united, and I do not
think full Western unity has
yet .been restored."
Second, "The Western pow
ers must be strong, for the So
viets only respect strength
and hold weakness in perfect
contempt."
And third and finally
and at this point in the list
there was a flash of the
amusement of a wise old man
at the habitual follies of hu
manity "There is no use ne
gotiating for the mere sake
of hearing yourself talk. We
must first agree very clearly
about the practical objectives
of our negotiations. Obvious
ly, the most important of aU
objectives is controlled .dis
armament. .
""OUT controlled disarma-
ment can only come by
stages, and we must also agree
among ourselves about the
character of the stages. Fur
thermore, we must accept no
false substitutes for real con
trolled disarmament, such as
the so-called Rapacki Plan
The Plan would do no good,
and it will do no good to talk
about it, either."
It is always a curious ex
perience to be received by
Adenauer. His office is huge,
airy, heavily humidified (to
prevent bronchial attacks) and
so full of flowers that it
smells like a greenhouse. But
this enormous, sunny space
always seems to be entirely
filled, as it were, by the single
figure of the still-erect old
man saying his say with
mingled scorn and firmness.
In the present instance, he
had sat through a long, suc
cessful foreign affairs debate
in the Bundestag until two in
the morning. But an experi
ence that would have exhaust
ed many younger men only
seemed to have made Ade
nauer rather more firm and
considerably more scornful.
He was quite openly scorn
ful, in particular, of the fol
lies of the last few years that
have led to the present diffi
cult pass in the affairs of the
Western Alliance. Again he
ticked them off, one by one,
beginning with "disarma
ment" which gave the Soviets

throughout the country, th
territory he had conquered
for "Lebensraum" was re

policies, the country is split
three ways, with two eastern
sections under Communist
German and Polish control.
the impression "that even th
United States might be seek
ing appeasement real music
in the Kremlin's ears."
TNCREDIBLE disregard of
the intelligence concerning
Soviet rocket developments;
decreasing unity among the
NATO nations; mistakes in
last year's disarmament nego
tiations all the obvious items
were listed. The overall re
sult, remarked the Chancellor,
was something very like gen
eral demoralization of the
Western Allies. But now, i?
added, in the era of the post
Sputnik awakening, efforts
were being made to correct
the worst of these follies of
omission 'and commission.
"Therefore," he added, "we
may again hope that the con
ditions of successful negotia
tion will eventually be ful
filled. But there is much yet
to be done."
The first thing to be done,
according to the Chancellor, is
to complete the restoration of
Western unity and here ha
had much to say about many
currently controversial points,
such as the British attempt to
reduce their ground forces in
NATO. Unity was indeed the
leitmotiv of the whole conver
sation, reappearing again and
again as "the key require
ment." T?OR instance, the idea of a
bi-lateral dialogue be
tween the U.S. and the
U.S.S.R. did not evoke much
enthusiasm from the Chancel
lor. He admitted that Nikita
Khrushchev's repeated invi
tations to such a dialogue
might betoken a desire to
talk serious business. "But it
would disunite the West." All
the easy ways out were ruth
lessly rejected, in fact, and
the absolute importance of
Western unity, strength and
clear-headedness was ruth
lessly insisted upon.
"The West must put its
own house in order," the
Chancellor summed up. "Then
and only then can we carry
on these negotiations every
one desires with the Soviets,
whose house is not altogether
in order either."
Here, embedded in this
sternly un-wishful analysis, is
the grain of hope offered for
the future. Great forces of
change were more and more
visibly at work in Soviet so
ciety. So if the Western na
tions maintained their com
mon front and did not slacken
their efforts, they would be
rewarded in the end "with the
true settlement, just to all,
that we all desire."
And so it ended, this ex
perience which was not only
curious but also highly tonic;,
for it is highly tonic now
adays to hear a Western lead
er talking no nonsense, mak
ing no cheap promises, and
insisting that great efforts are
the price that must be paid
for any great success.
