How Much 'Wilderness"?
What is a "wilderness"?
Once upon a time and not too long ago at
that there wasn't "a" wilderness, there was
"the" wilderness, that vast expanse of unin
habited country which lay to the west, a continu
ing challenge to the pioneer, the homesteader, the
trapper.
Today, of course, "the" wilderness no longer
remains. But in the big spaces of our western
states, in particular, and to a lesser extent in some
of the mountainous states of the east, wildernesses
still survive.
There are many people who believe much of
them should be preserved. In this feeling we join.
'HY?
xiLiiy vviiu nao kjk.k.xi il uiic vv xikmil jJ)
who has felt the closeness to nature, and sampled
its rewards, can tell why. It is a feeling which
can be duplicated in no other way, and it is a
feeling which "belongs" in the life of America,
in its heritage of wilderness life, from the first
colonies on the Atlantic up to the recent past.
Our vounffsters should be able to see samnles
of unspoiled wilderness,
. 1 V A
should, m these days 01 increased time oil irom
the job, have available what is probably the most
wholesome iorm ot recreation.
THE so-called "wilderness principle" that of
preserving areas in a
established m the thinking of foresters generally.
It is exemplified in the
rules and regulations and aims, and the Forest
Service also acknowledges it as one of the valid
uses of land in a multiple-use program.
- Even the big associations of lumbermen
acknowledge the principle, although one is some
times tempted to suspect that this acknowledge
ment is more lip service than it is genuine
agreement. This suspicion arises from pressures
to cut timber in the Olympic National Park, for
example.
But whether this acknowledgement is genuine
and whole-hearted or not, it is a matter of record.
The difficulty is one of degree, not of the principle
itself.
The organized lumbermen believe the multiple-use
theory should be applied in such a manner
that a bare minimum of wilderness area should
be provided, and that only in areas which are not
readily susceptible to harvesting timber.
fN THE other end of the argument are the
outdoorsmen and ardent conservationists who
believe that a number of big tracts of wilderness
should be preserved intact for their unquestioned
values to us and to our posterity.
The ideal solution, as in most such disputed
cases, probably lies in a compromise somewhere
between the two extreme positions.
We envision something not too far distant
from the present system, under which the wilderr
ness idea is being earned on, but with some defi
nite added "rules of the road" for the future.
70R instance, we believe the national parks are
now doing an outstanding job of preserving,
as much as can be with heavy public visitation,
the most beautiful and important natural scenic
landmarks of this nation. Additions to the
national park system could well be made to pre
serve such outstanding attractions in perpetuity
for their owners, the people of the United States.
Then there are other areas (and the high Las
cade country has a number of them) where wild
scenery and mountains should be preserved as
they are as wildernesses, where only those who
are willing to hike, in, and who agree to do
nothing to mar their natural beauty, could reap
the rewards the wild areas have to offers
Beyond this, we believe the Forest Service,
the state park commissions and other agencies,
are doing the best they can to provide outdoor
recreation areas not on the "wild" levels, but
on the "outdoor" level, where people with auto
mobiles can sample the outdoor life.
FOR while wilderness areas are important to
our heritage, and to the well-being of some
people, it is even more important to provide for
the far more numerous people who have neither
the time, the money nor the inclination to carry
their gear on their backs for miles, and then
sleep under the stars.
The park service recently declared :
"There is no time to lose if the people of the states
and nation are to retain seashores and mountains,
forests, rivers and lakes for their own refreshment
and enjoyment. The good use of leisure use that
will strengthen the moral fibre of America is a
responsibility of every level of government."
THIS is no more than the truth, as anyone who
has inspected America's outdoor recreational
facilities more crowded each year than the last
can testify.
Pressures to despoil
growing, and will continue to grow. And they
must be resisted. The time is now.
But at the same time, equally important
perhaps even more so
smell of the tall evergreens, for a glimpse of
clear, running water, for the taste of food cooked
over a fire, and for the refreshment of the spirit
which only the clean outdoors can bring so well.

Matter of Fact
TAX CUT COMING
Washington The auestion
is no longer whether there
will be a big administration-
1 cut if the eco-
I nomic slide
continues, ine
auestion is, in
stead, how big
the cut will
be and who
will chiefly
benefit from
it.
ct... a sizeaDie
tax cut would mean not only
a deficit, but quite possibly
the biggest deficit in Ameri
can peace time history. The
President and his cniei advis
ers therefore fervently hope
that so drastic a measure to
revive the economy can be
avoided.
The hope is that cheerful
exhortations, like the Presi
dent's "chins up" statement
on Wednesday, plus a soft
money policy and a little ju
dicious pump - priming (.al
though it will certainly not
be so called) can get things
turned right side up again.
The hone may be fulfilled,
but the auguries are not good.
Immediately after the pres
ident's statement, the stock
market fell again. There are
painful memories of the eco
nomic ineffectiveness of Pres
idential optimism. And the
President himself is pictured
as being determined to do
whatever needs to be done to
halt a serious and prolonged
economic fall-off.
A BIG tax cut very definite
lv falls into the cateeorv
of what will be done if the
need arises. As to the timing
and form of such a tax cut,
the President will rely on the
advice of a sort of informal
counterpart of the National
Security Council. This Nation
al Economic Council, as it
might be called, is led by Sec
retary of the Treasury Robert
Anderson, who proposed it to
the President. Other regular
members are Economic Ad
visers Raymond Saulnier and
Gabriel Hauge, and, most sig
nificantly, Federal Reserve
Board Chairman William
Martin.
The group is necessarily in
formal, because of Martin's
membership in it. The Feder
al Reserve Board is legally
independent of the Executive
Branch, and it used to be a
favorite Republican charge
against the Truman adminis
tration that the White House
and the Treasury were at
tempting to dominate the
Federal Reserve.
For that reason, Anderson's
predecessor, George Hum
phrey, never met regularly
with Martin and the Presi
dent. But now, while the eco
nomic crisis lasts, the group
is expected to meet at the
White House at frequent in
tervals.

THE PARIS SUBWAY, called the "Metro," doesn't carry
as many passengers each day as its counterpart in New.
York, but has several features worthy of comment. It has
"first" and "second" class
compartments, first costing
a penny or two more and
being equipped with cush
ioned seats. There also are
special seats on every train
for invalids and ladies ex
pecting bundles from heav
en a fine idea that man
agers of American urban
rail systems well might
borrow.
Another excellent feature
of the Paris "Metro" pre
vents passengers from hold
ing up a train by trying to
pry open half -closed doors. As it enters the station, gates auto
matically shut at all entrances to the platform, so that only
passengers already on the platform can climb aboard. As the
train pulls out, the entrance gates open again on now-empty
platforms. Clever, these Parisians, n'estce pas?
Ollie James knows a proud citizen who can trace his ancestry
back to the Boston Tea Party and its jettisoned bags. His great-great-grandmother
was the last one thrown overboard.

By Stewart Alsop
A NDERSON is the key fig
ure in the group, since he
will have the last word with
the President, who has great
confidence in him. Anderson
is a conservative man, and
the prospect of presiding over
a record-breaking deficit is
certainly abhorrent to him.
Yet presiding over a major
depression is even more ab
horrent, and Anderson is
known to believe that a tax
cut would have a far more
immediate revivifying effect
on the economy than any oth
er measure.
He is also known to believe
that, if the thing is to be done
at all, it must be done in a
big way. It is no use using a
"little needle" (to borrow the
President's phrase) on the
economy a big, horse serum
size needle is required. Thus
current best guesses on the
size of the tax cut Anderson
will propose, if and when he
decides such drastic action is
needed, range upwards of $5
billion.
The Democrats show signs
of jumping the gun on ;the
Administration with a tax cut
of their own. But they may
hesitate to do so, since the
size of the ensuing deficit
could then be blamed on their
"iiscal irresponsibility," (to
borrow another Presidential
phrase), while the Adminis
tration xook credit lor any
resulting economic upturn. As
for the shape of a tax cut, it
is likely to be a compromise
between the "little fellows,"
or stimulate consumption.
cut favored by Democrats like
Senator Paul Douglas of Illi
nois,- and the cut to stimulate
investment favored by admin
istration conservatives.
A NY tax cut at all will cer-
tainly mean a big deficit.
The present forecast of a bal
anced budget is based on such
shaky assumptions as a con
tinuing rise in national in
come. The Democratic leader
ship is likely to insist, more
over, in a sharp increase in
defense spending, on the or
der of $2 billion or more. Add
a tax cut of around $5 billion.
and you come up with a defi
cit big enough to make the
eyes of the' old new dealers
bug right out of the sockets.
And yet the President will
certainly choose a huge defi
cit, if a really serious reces
sion seems the only alterna
tive. The President may not
be much of a student of his
tory, but he certainly remem
bers what happened both to
the Republican party and the
personal popularity of the last
Republican President, as a re
sult of the last depression.
And he is reported to be abso
lutely determined on one
point he will not go down
in history as another depres
sion President. This is anoth
er reason why a big tax cut
now seems a much better
than even bet.

An Answer To Mrs. Pollard
To the Editor: The follow
ing is an open letter to Mrs.
Louise Pollard of South Stage
rd., Jacksonville, and I desire
it be published for the benefit
of all concerned:.
Mrs. Louise Pollard,
South Stage Rd.,
Jacksonville, Ore.
My Dear Mrs. Pollard: I
have read your very interest
ing letter in the Medford
Mail Tribune for February
13. I am wondering if you
have ever caught an animal of
any kind. And if you have
found a method of catching
an animal painlessly or put
ting it to death instantly. Or
do you run after them and
catch them by the tail?
As to your statement that
days and even weeks go by
before the trapper returns to
his traps, I personally have
never known a case of a trap
per who did as you say they
do. I'll grant that there are
isolated cases of this sort. But
I have no reason to think it
is a general situation.
Then another thing, how do
you and others who propose
this bill you mention in your
letter propose to enforce this
proposed law? If you found
an animal in a trap would you
know how long it had been
there? Or would you expect
the trapper to camp along
side the trap? Or perhaps you
would advocate prohibition
of all trapping. There are sev
eral very interesting facets
to this idea and I should be
very much interested in your
answers. I, myself, know of
no methods of putting an ani
mal to death instantly nor a
method of catching an animal
painlessly.
I repeat, I am very much
interested in your solution.
Also, would you advocate
that a law be enacted pro
posing that coyotes, bobcats,
bear, and other of the preda
tory types not be trapped or
killed? If a bill is enacted,
such as you advocate in your
communication in the Trib
une, would it not be advise
able to cover with the same
bill, a requirement that the
same provisions apply to hun
ters? As you may possibly
know, quite often deer and
other animals escape with
bullet wounds. Would you be
in favor of legislation requir
ing that bullets be dipped or
otherwise carry a lethal dose
of some form of chemical
which would instantly cause
an animal to die. Maybe one
should put salt on the ani
mals' tail.
I'm STILL very much in
terested in your comments
and those of others.

Ike Pinpoints Weakness of Red
Leaders in
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
President Eisenhower has
pinpointed a fundamental
weakness
Russian leaders
in his latest
letter to So
viet Premier
Nikolai A.
Bulganin.
That is,
their complete
ignorance of
real condi
tions in coun
tries like the
United States.
There was a decided change
of tone in Eisenhower's letter,
latest in a series of exchanges
which Bulganin started last
Dec. 10 on holding a "sum
mit" conference on world
issues.
Eisenhower retorted sharp
ly to charges made by such
men as Bulganin and Commu
nist Party Leader Nikita S.
Khruschev that "the United
States is a nation ruled by ag
gressive, war-minded imper
ialists." He expressed amazement
that such allegations were
made by Soviet leaders "who
have never even been near
this country."
If there are Americans who,
as the Russians charge, are
calling for a "preventive" war
and conducting "unrestrain
ed" war propaganda, the
President said, he does not
know them.

Adlai Joins Council
Of Atlantic Union
Without Fanfare
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) If it is
news when a great public fig
ure joins an organization ded
icated to alter
s u bstantially
the sovereign
status of the
U. S. govern
ment, then a
recent move
by A d 1 a i E.
Stevenson has
been strange
ly overlooked.
Lyie c. Wilson The Febru
ary edition of "Freedom &
Union" states that Stevenson
recently became a member of
the Council of the Atlantic
Union committee.
"Governor Stevenson made
no statement in joining the
council,"' the magazine com
ments editorialy, "letting his
action speak for itself. It does,
indeed, and it speaks volumes
both as regards the rising
start of Atlantic Union and
the courageous statesmanship
for which so many have so
long admired the Democratic
party's candidate for presi
dent in 1952 and 1956."
"Freedom & Union" is the
spokesman for the Atlantic
Union committee. In its sim
plest terms, the committee
seeks to merge the free na
tions of the West in a federal
union to be known as the
United States of the Atlantic
All hands would become citi
zens.
The Atlanticans
These citizens of a new fed
eral union would be Atlanti
cans, in the terminology of
the Atlantic Umon. There is
much more prestige and po
litical oomph behind this idea
than may be suspected by the
average American. That indi
vidual goes his way, perhaps,
unsuspecting thai he may one
day not soon discover to
his pleasure or to his dismay
that he no longer is merely
an American, but an Atlanti
can, to boot.
Twenty seven members of
the U.S. Senate sponsored in
1951 a resolution calling for
a conference of the Atlantic
powers to move toward a po
litical and economic union
within the framework of the
United Nations. Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) i n t r o
duced the resolution.
It may be significant that
nearly one third of the Sen
ate membership would make
Atlanticans of Americans
while only seven of the 435
members of the House of Rep
resentatives chose to sponsor
such a resolution.
Truman Passes
On Nov. 4, 1951, Atlantic
Union's first national con
gress met in Memphis, Tenn.
It urged President Truman to
summon a conference of the

to deliberately misrepresent
the American viewpoint," Ei
senhower continued. "Possibly
also these misrepresentations
constitute blind adherence to
what was one of the early
tenets of orthodox Commu
nism namely, that capital
istic societies are by their
very nature warlike."
Of course, there are Soviet
propagandists who do delib
erately distort conditions. Of
course, it is true also that men
like Bulganin and Khruschev
do blindly adhere to Commu
nist doctrine.
But behind this lies the fact
that Bulganin, Khruschev and
many other high Soviet lead
ers are essentially ignorant
men as regards world condi
tions. They make use of the "big
lie" technique as a matter of
policy.
But, like Adolf Hitler and
other fanatics, they believe
their big lies themselves.
Josef Stalin spent nearly
all his life isolated in Russia.
He had no conception of the
way of life in advanced free
countries.
Bulganin and Khrushchev
have made some tours to for
eign countries, mostly the
backward ones of Southeast
Asia.
Did Make Visit
They did, however, make a
visit to Great Britain, and
they must have been bug-eyed
at the contrast between condi
tions there and in Russia.
It is necessary to remember
that Bulganin and Khrushchev
Atlantic powers to explore
plans for federation. Truman
didn't do it.
"Freedom & Union" states
that the U.S. of the Atlantic
should be set up under a con
stitution which would con
tinue and guarantee the U.S
Bill of Rights; give the fede
rated states free government
in those fields where they
agreed this would best ad-
v a n c e individual freedom
provide that this government
shall be elected by, be respon
sible to, and operate on, 'the
citizens of the federated
states and be federally bal
anced in its representation of
them.
The ultimate objective
would be to bring all other
nations peacefully into the
super state until it became a
free world republic.
A Stevenson or a Kefauver
in the White House might
move such a project along
considerably.
Ballot Title Given
Legislative Bill
Salem (IP) An initiative
petition enabling teachers to
serve in the state Legislature
received a ballot title from
the attorney general Tuesday,
Purpose of the initiative
would be to "amend the Ore

Higher Education to serve as

filed for the initiative.

To Face Election
Salem (IP) A county judge
who has been appointed to
fill a vacancy must stand for
election at the next general
election, Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton said to
day. Thornton said there was no
authority for a judge to be
elected to fill the unexpired
term where a vacancy occurs
in the office of judge of a
court.
If elected, the appointee
will serve for a full six-year
term, Thornton said.

It soon became necessary to
restrict contact between the

Glimpse of the. future note:
Representative Kenneth
Keating of New York says in
a ' radio interview that the
nation that wins control of
the moon will be able to con
trol the earth.
He adds:
"The Russians have already
said they are out to beat this
country to the moon ... It is
fantastic, but not impossible,
that America may someday
face an interplanetary war."
QUESTION:
Who is this Congressman
Keating from the state of
New York?
That is interesting because
what is said nearly always de
pends on the kind of man who
says it.
ITEATTNG sounds like a
screwball, but his record
doesn't indicate it.
He is 58 years old. He is a
graduate of Genesee Wesley
an Seminary and did post
graduate .work at the Univer
sity of Rochester. He is an at
torney, with a law degree
from Harvard law school.
He went into the army in
World War I as a sergeant and
came out with, a commission.
He entered World War II as
a colonel and came out a brig
adier general. He has more
decorations than there is
room to print here.
In the congress, he is a
member of the house commit
tee on the judiciary. His rec
ord sounds like that of a solid
citizen. So his opinions are at
least worth considering.
AFTER all
Is the idea of interplane
tary war any more fantastic
NOW than the idea of air
warfare would have been say
a couple of centuries ago?
And
Was the idea of air war any
more fantastic than the BOW
AND ARRQW when the bow
and arrow came into warfare?
We must remember that be
fore the bow and arrow your
enemy had to get CLOSE TO
YOU before he could strike
you down. With the bow and
arrow, he could STRIKE YOU
DOWN FROM A DISTANCE.
He could launch his arrow at
you from the cover of a thick
et, and you'd never know.,
what it was that hit you., In
its day, that must have Men x
a terrifying thing.
BUT
The wnrlrt survived
It survived gunpowder
when gunpowder came along.
Taking everything into con
sideration, it's a better world
now than before the bow and
arrow.
