When Spring Starts
It's almost here spring, that is.
The men who figure

But even with another month to go, the signs
of spring a wet one are all around. The grass,
a few weeks ago brown and dull, is already grow
ing like crazy, bright and green, and pushing up
clumps which cry (in vain) for a lawnmower.
The family secretary of health, education and
welfare f mmd the first violets the other day, grow

CTREAMS were brim
ter last week end as the ram cascaded down
on the hills. -And the hills' are turning green again
after months of looming up brown and sere.
It isn't really spring yet, despite yesterday's
sunshine, and the rain still has a chilling bite to it.
But the frogs, who chorus night and morning,
know that it is coming soon.
These are just symptoms. How we know when
it is really spring is by the smell the indefinable,
gentle, fresh, verdant smell which most years is
not in the air one day, but is the next day, and that
is the day spring starts, no matter what the stars
say. For us, anyway. E.A.
Oregon
Charles Porter, the energetic congressman
from the fourth district of Oregon, who is inter
ested in just about everything, from fighting dic
tatorships in Latin America to investigating the
possibility (shudder) of putting aerial tramways
down the rim of Crater Lake, thinks that the
state's song, "Oregon, My Oregon," should be
better known.
According to the Mail Tribune's Washington
correspondent, Bob Smith, Porter finds it irritat
ing to listen to "The Eyes of Texas," or "California-Here
I Come" at a meeting, and then a few
anonymous oompah-oompahs when someone from
Oregon is introduced.
DORTER is taking steps to rectify this situation
in Washington. But the sad fact is that the
song is not very well known right here in Oregon.
It's been a long time since we've heard it at any
public meeting (although we have heard what we
consider to be a superior song, "Down the Oregon
Trail," but that's aside from the point, for it isn't
the "official" state song).
"Oregon, My Oregon" is taught in the schools
at least the schools in Medford in the fifth or
sixth grades, and is sung on occasion later on. But
it is seldom heard by most people other than ele
mentary students.
HERE, for those who are curious what the song
in lilrfl nrn fVia Trrnrrlc tf tllO vorSPQ
Land of the empire builders, land of the golden west;
Conquered and held by freemen, fairest and the best.
Onward and upward ever, forward and on and on;
Hail to thee, land of heroes, my Oregon.
Land of the rose and sunshine, land of the summer's
breeze;
Laden with health and vigor, fresh from the western
seas.
Blessed by the blood of martyrs, land of the setting
sun;
Hail to thee, land of promise, my Oregon.
Since Oregon will be celebrating the 100th
anniversary of statehood next year, it is appropri
ate that attempts be made to revive the song in
popular esteem. E.A. x
Highway 99 Progress
Each time we drive north into the Willamette
valley these days, we are pleasantly surprised by
the progress being made in bringing Highway 99
up to a high standard.
Last fall we reported that only a few sections
of sub-standard road remain between Medford
and Eugene.
Last week there were only three.
"THE worst of these is the section between Myrtle
Creek on the north to a spot just east of Riddle
on the south. Here the road is slow, winding, and
dangerous, passing through several spots in the
"tri-city" area where uncontrolled access and
roadside businesses make it hazardous.
But construction on the new stretch is well
along some of it all ready for paving.
Another sub-standard section which will be
ready by mid-summer or sooner is that from the
bottom of Sexton mountain to within a few miles
of Grants Pass. The new four-lane highway goes
straight as an arrow across the valley, and the
old, twisty road off to the west will soon be aban
doned as a highway.
THE third is the highway between Gold Hill and
Grants Pass, which will be completely by
passed in another few years when the new high
way is built along the north bank of the Rogue
river. Meanwhile, it is rather slow and thing at
least by today's standards.
And one more improvement should be report
ed in Grants Pass itself, where the highway
through town has been divided into two one-way
streets from Caveman bridge to the north of town.
It's not ideal, but it's better, and it sends a travel
ler through town more rapidly than was possible
in the past ELA ,.. .. ...

An Appeal to the People
To the Editor: Since your
Sunday's editorial and since
I heartily agree that the
"open forum" is a necessary
and sound policy for - our
times, I wish to use this
means of thanking you for a
recent public service.
I refer to the almost full-
page advertisement which you
published Monday, Jan. 13,
1958, on the nuclear age.
It was timely and worthy
of the citizens' gratitude and
support. After long and care
ful gathering of information
on the present dangers of nu
clear testing and the nuclear
arms race, I found this one
article best combined the
facts and interpretation, and
urged a sound program of
action for citizens. Not every
editor pays the bill for this
expensive form of citizen edu
cation. Portland friends have
written asking contributions
to help cover the $1600 cost
of the same advertisement in
the Oregonian.
Through this column I
would like to extend the op
portunity provided by you in
that January advertisement
which carried coupons to be
filled out and sent to the
President and to the National
Committee for a Sane Nuclear
Policy. I will repeat here the
sum and substance so that in
dividuals who wish to write
at this date may do so.
First, write your President
and Congressman in your
own words of your deep un
easiness concerning the pro
spective April bomb tests in
the Pacific, your fears of the
reactions of Asian countries
whose waters we use for
testing and without consulta
tion; and the chance we take
in alienating those very na
tions that we hope to win for
our allies.
Second, urge that President
Eisenhower go before the
United Nations and propose:
(1), That nuclear test explo
sions, missiles and outer
space satellites be considered
apart from other disarma
ment problems; (2), That, as
there is now agreement on
the need for supervision and
inspection necessary to verify
a cessation of tests, all nu
clear test explosions by all
countries be stopped im
mediately and the UN then
proceed with the mechanics
necessary for monitoring this
cessation; (3), That, missiles
and outer-space satellites be
brought under the United Na
tions' monitored control, and
there be a pooling of world
science for space exploration
under the United Nations.
Third, help friends and
neighbors to understand the
graveness of the danger that
we force upon ourselves as a
nation and other nations. You
can discuss in your church,
your club, your school, your
Labor Union and your Great
Decisions group. I hope you
will use this column, also.
Fourth, send for information
and 'or send a contribution
to "Sane Nuclear Policy,"
P.O. Box 1750, New York,
N. Y., for copies with coupons
attached.

To the Editor: I read with
great interest an article in
last Tuesday's Tribune en
titled: "Public Relations Di
rector Urges Republicans to
Read". Wallace Hunter, "Pub
lic Relations Director of the
Republican party, pointed out
that "some of the worst in
formed people in Oregon are
the so-called 'good ' Republi
cans' ", and that the trouble
with Republicans is that they
"don't have the facts ".
Reading will, of course, help
registered Republicans be-
come better informed of the
facts of good government, and
we heartily endorse this com
mendable and courageous rec
ommendation by Mr. Hunter.

publicans in all this, however

"Dear Hearts and

To the Editor: As a gesture
of our appreciation, would
you please print the follow
ing: "Dear Hearts and Gentle
People" . . . although we are
comparative strangers in your
city, we have come to know
that this title is significant of
the people of Medford.
It was through a friend of
ours that radio station KBOY

Salesmanship Seen
As Employment Aid
By ROGER BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. Every
one is aware of the fact that
employment has recently been
falling off. De
spite attempts
at rationaliza
t i o n of in
creasing un
e m p 1 oyment
as "seasonal"
or as occur
ring only in
certain indus
t r i e s," w e
Roier W. Babion shouij face
the fact that it is already more
general than is healthy for our
economy. It is important that
this negative movement be
checked as soon as possible.
Among many suggestions com
ing to me, I especially recom
mend the following by one of
the Babson Institute profes
sors, Louis Foley.
There is only one way this
mounting unemployment can
be checked. That is by in
creasing consumers' demands
for the goods and services
that industry can produce.
Factory wheels cannot keep
on turning, and jobs for work
ers cannot continue to exist,
unless their product is being
continually sold. Successful
salesmanship is vital to the
prosperity of - all, including
those in occupations not di
rectly connected with selling.
So the thret of growing un
employment becomes primar
ily a problem for salesmen of
goods and of advertising.
No "High Pressure" .
In the buyers' market in
which we now find ourselves,
salesmen will need to exert
themselves more strenuously
than they have been accus
tomed to doing. This is not,
however, a call for "high
pressure" selling in the un
favorable sense. It is neither
honest nor effective salesman
ship to mesmerize people tem
porarily into buying what
they do not really need or
desire, or what they cannot
truly afford to pay for; in
other words, what they ought
not to buy..
The best salesmen are not
necessarily "fast talkers."

Comment
THIS IS AN EDITORIAL
This is an editorial. It is
written by an editorial writer.
Editorial writers are uppity
members of the newspaper
fraternity. They sit in an ivory
tower and pontificate. ' They
are not made of clay. They
criticize, suggest and urge
lesser beings on to greater
things.
That's what they some
times think, at any rate.
But sometimes they are in
for a letdown.
Like last week, when a lady
called to say that her child
had been told to bring an "ed
itorial" to school. Her ques
tion: "What is an editorial?"

kept calling when the line
was busy. After the first 10
or 12 calls, we took a count,
and to our amazement, there
were over 50 that afternoon
and evening and all from
people with long-haired cali
co kittens!
It may not seem important
to you no doubt you take
this sort of thing for granted
in your community and
rightly so but WE think it's
a wonderful place to live
when people feel and act as
kindly as this. You have made

Dwindling Wilderness
To the Editor: I am sending
copies of your February 19
editorial "How Much 'Wilder
ness'?" to our Washington and
Regional Offices'. I am sure
they will appreciate your rec
ognition of the National Park
Service's efforts to preserve
the wilderness areas and to
provide for adequate recrea
tional outlets as planned by
the Service's MISSION 66 pro
gram. I would like to add my per
sonal commendation for the
editorial. Certainly, you must
have experienced the wilder
ness in order to have written
as you did. I believe you and
your paper are doing a service
to the American people in
calling attention to the dwin
dling wilderness areas, and I
am sure it will eventually pay
dividends.

possibilities exist. They have
the imagination and the in
genuity to demonstrate to the
prospect how their product is
fitted to his requirements and
can furnish him real benefits.
These he will appreciate when
they are shown him and will
want. Salesmanship is fast be
coming a profession, actuated
by professional standards.
Good Salesmen Required
More than ever before, it
is necessary for the salesman
to have thorough knowledge
of what he has to sell. In
many lines nowadays it is in
dispensable to have an ex
tensive technical acquaint
ance with the products offer
ed, in order to explain ac
curately' just what kind of
service they can be depended
upon to render. We have
evolved an economy in which
success in salesmanship re
quires an amount of prepara
tion and continuing study that
our ancestors would not have
dreamed of as requisite for
being a "mere salesman."
We have come a long way
since the time when "persons
of quality',' found it obviously
natural to look down upon
those who were engaged "in
trade." Salesmanship has be
come a completely respectable
occupation because countless
intelligent salesmen are tak
ing their vocation seriously
and dedicating themselves to
it. They are realizing that
they are performing a great
service to the nation as a
whole.
Not So Simple Now
One of the saddest plays
ever produced in the theater
was "The Death of a Sales
man" sad, that is, as the
story of an individual who
went down m to utter defeat.
Perhaps quite unintentionally,
however, it symbolizes some
thing that need not be con
sidered sad at all the
"death" of a certain concep
tion of salesmanship. It makes
us realize the day of the
"drummer" who depended for
success on backslapping, tell
ing funny stories, and being
"well liked" is truly past. Not,
of course, that personality is
unimportant; it has always
counted and always will in
salesmanship as in everything
else. That, however, must be

Controversial Fund

President Eisenhower
spurned tne money as un
clean. So did Chairman Meade
Alcorn of the Republican Na
tional Committee. The chair
men, respectively, of the Re-
publican Senate and congres
sional campaign committees
did not quite go along with
that.
Texans. however, are in
genious as well as rich. Find
ing themselves barred from
spending their hoard to help
Republican candidates in this
year's congressional election,
they decided to pay off some
old Eisenhower presidential
campaign debts in Texas.
Organization Owes Money
The Republican state or
ganization owed $240,000
after the 1956 presidential
election in which Eisenhower
won Texas' 24 electoral votes
from the Democratic candi
date, Adlai E. Stevenson.
Some of that deficit had been
paid off from time to time but
there remained a substantial
red figure.
Most and perhaps all of
that indebtedness will be re

It was the latest in a series
of exchanges which Bulganin
started last December in the
Kremlin's campaign for a
"summit" conference on
means of reducing world ten
sions. In suggesting that Soviet
leaders choke off their bom
bardment of propaganda
statements, the President re
ferred both to Bulganin's let
ters and speeches by Commu
nist party leader Nikita S.
Khrushchev.
France and Tunisia accept

Porter circulated over his own
signature a letter announcing
the "appreciation dinner" to
Martin whom he acclaimed
for rallying Republican votes
last year in behalf of the
angrily controversial gas bill.
Eisenhower vetoed the bill in
protest against the crude
lobbying of one of its sup
porters. The President was agree
able to re-enactment of the
legislation, however, and that
fact led Porter to a politically
fatal error. His letter said:
"It will be up to Joe Martin
to muster at least 65 per cent
of the Republican House
votes in order, to pass- the gas
bill again this year. He has
put Republican members from
northern and eastern consum
ing areas on the spot political
ly because the bill is not
popular due to the distortion
of facts ty newspaper column
ists and others."
This frank and substantial
ly accurate appraisal of the
situation startled Washington
and shocked Eisenhower. It
equally pleased opponents of
the gas bill.
Speaker Sam Rayburn (D
Tex.) favors the bill but he
was wholly realistic m his
judgment of the effect of
Porter's letter on the pending
legislation. Rayburn told the
United Press Porter couldn't
have done a better job if he
had set out to defeat the gas'
bill. The legislation is dead
for this session and, probably,
for "good.
None was more surprised
than Porter by the political
impact of his letter.

Home of GEORGE WASHINGTON Fefc. 22. 1732-Dee. 14. 1799
Situated high on trie south bank of the
Potomac river with a magnificent weep of
the Virginia countryside in the foreground.
Mount Vernen is one of America's most
stately homes. The cherished possession of
Washington, all of his efforts beyond hfs
enormous contribution to public service
were directed toward improving this prop
erty. Man's achievements are too often judged
in terms of the end accomplishment, when
to truly appreciate those achievements, the
personal sacrifices incidental to them
should be weighed. Washington was de
votedly attached to his family, his home,
and Virginia. Still, when those principles
which he held paramount the rights, the
integrity of man were placed in jeopardy
by British colonial policy, he stepped for
ward to be among those to defend those
rights: realizing full well that everything
he held dear might fall sacrifice, that the
result could easily involve his having to
retire with his family to the wilds of Ohio
there to elce a precarious living at best
perhaps to perish.
For seven long bitter frustrating years
Washington denied himself the joy and
comfort of his own fireside, not once seeing
Mount Vernon: unable to lead the farmer's
life he loved so well. -

The immediate result was
to avoid a United Nations de
bate which would have made
the situation worse and
would have benefited only
Communist propaganda. .
A local French comman
dant had ordered the village
bombing after months during
which machine guns set up
on the roof of the Tunisian
administration building had
fired on planes of the French
Air Force in Algeria. French
troops have long been angry
over the help which Tunisia
has given to the Algerian
rebels. .
In an obvious propaganda
move, Chinese Communist
Premier Chou En-lai an
nounced that Chinese troops
would be withdrawn from
North Korea this year and
suggested that the United
States pull its troops out of
South Korea.
The United States prompt
ly announced that its troops
would remain in Korea, until
the Reds agreed to free elec
tions, supervised by the Unit- I
ed Nations, to unite North
and South Korea.
Withdrawal of American
troops would be of obvious
advantage to the Commu
nists. Chinese troops would re
main on the Manchurian fron
tier, in position to invade
Korea again at any time. As
the United States no longer
maintains combat troops in
Japan, it would have to move
forces from Okinawa, the
island base between Japan
and Formosa to meet any
new Communist attack on
South Korea.
Soviet Russia followed up
the Chinese Red move by sug-;
gesting that nuclear weapons
be barred from North and
South Korea and an interna
tional conference be called
to get the two parts of the
country together.
