Good Job,
In this space we have called and .will con
tinue to call for improvements to the down
town area to save it from the fate of other cities
which have'let their major shopping areas deter
iorate.
The biggest lack, we
is that of adequate parking space,, both for pres
ent needs, and for the
needed many times more.
Because of this it would be easy to assume we
have been blind to the improvements which have
been and are being made. But this would be an
incorrect assumption.
rVOWNTOWN Medford is a far more pleasant
place than it was 10 years ago. And the credit
for this must go to many
It should go to the progressive merchants
who, over the years, have "dressed up" their
stores, inside and out, to
pect. Some of the modernization jobs have been
of major consequence, and cannot but make Med'
ford a nicer place to work and to live and to
go shopping.
Credit must go to
which designed, among,
street program which is just now getting started,
and which in another few years will make travel
ling in, through or around town far easier.
DUT a good share of the credit must go to the
people of Medford, wTho, by their votes, ap
proved the street program, who have kept good
men in office over the
patronage, have rewarded those progressive mer
chants who know that business entails a lot more
than just setting up shop and then waiting for
customers.
Improved streets, better street lighting, better
traffic signals and control, modem stores all
these are progress in the right direction.
Take a bow, Medford. But let us not forget
that progress means movement, and that because
we have come so far we should not be satisfied.
Much more (including better parking) remains
to be done. E.A.
Billboard Rule Hopes
This may be the year when Congress finally
gets around to making a start toward some rea
sonable regulation of billboards on the 41,000
mile federal highway system now under con
struction. A modest start was defeated in a Senate com
mittee last year, but there is a chance it may get
to a vote. If it does, we have a hunch it will be
a pretty close one.
For, despite the fact
to support the claim that motorists, generally,
would like to see billboards on the highways
they're paying for with their taxes subjected to
reasonable limitations, the outdoor advertising
lobby and its allies have powerful voices.
Oregon s Dick Neuberger is leading the fight
for the current measure, limited as it is, and could
use all the help and encouragement he can get,
through letters from his
Tree Rings and Weather
Tree rings are the circular layers of wood
which build up the size of a tree, one being
formed each year on the exterior of the trunk
under the bark.
They are what furnish the "grain" in a piece
of lumber. In slow-growing hardwood trees, they
usually are thin, tough layers ranged close to
gether. In softer woods they are further apart,
separated by layers of soft material.
The rings can reveal history. For in years
when growing conditions are good plenty of
moisture and sunshine the rings are thick; in
bad years of drought, they are thin.
CCIENTISTS and others have found it f ascin
ating to study the records left by the annual
growth rings. They have been used to determine
weather cycles, and thus often can offer clues to
archeologists and historical anthropologists.
In the American southwest, it was discovered
that by finding pieces of trees of varying age, a
chronological record of the weather can be ex
tended back for many years. Recent weather
"history" is recorded in the trunks of old but
still living trees. Older records come from the
trunks of long-dtad trees in pueblo roofs.
These records can often explain why a tribe
of Indians moved from one place to another a
series of bad crop years due to drought, for in
stance, could make an area uninhabitable.
DUT these rings provide more than historical
clues. They offer evidence of weather cycles,
showing a period of diy
of wet years following.
In big trees several
cycles can be traced
students believe they can
tern of weather cycles. Others disagree, and while
they acknowledge the cycles, they declare there
is no pattern.
If those who believe
by further study and correlation, graphically
establish it as a fact, they would have some basis
for believing that the pattern would be recurring,
and that future weather cycles could be predicted
with some certainty. E.A.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Cause and effect in politics:
In Minnesota the other day,
in a by-election to fill a va
cancy in the U.S. house rep
resentatives, a Republican
just barely nosed out his
Democratic opponent in a dis
trict that had been solidly
GOP for' years on end.
His narrow-squeak victory
was ascribed by the politicians
to farm belt dissatisfaction
with Secretary of Agriculture
Benson, who leans toward
lower subsidies for farm .crops
that are now in heavy surplus.
SO MUCH for the cause.
Let's take a look now
at the effect.
IN WASHINGTON, a couple
of GOP congressmen Rep
resentative A. L. Miller of
Nebraska and Representative
Walter Judd of Minnesota
called on Secretary Benson as
representatives of a group of
farm belt congressmen and
laid it on the line.
They told Benson he has
become a. serious liability to
the Republican party that
"right or wrong" he has be
come a symbol of low farm
prices. They say they didn't
ask him in so many words to
resign but add that they
"made their meaning plain."
Their meaning, they ex
plained to the reporters, was
that Mr. Benson was being
asked to STEP OUT for the
good of the Grand Old Party.
They told him further that
"Democrats are using him as
a weapon to beat Republi
cans." TTMMMMM.
The farm program has
been anything but a howling
success. It has cost billions of
dollars which have come out
of the taxpayers' pockets. It
has piled up huge surpluses
that hang over the markets
of the future like a dark
thundercloud.
Consumers are disgruntled.
Taxpayers are getting
soured.
Even the farmers aren't
happy.
ALL Mr. Benson is trying to
do is to IMPROVE the
situation. He thinks it would
be better if we quit subsidiz
ing overproduction because,
he reasons, as long as we sub
sidize overproduction heavily
we will have vast surpluses
on our hands. As long as vast
surpluses hang over the
markets, farm prices will re
main low.
Most clear-headed thinkers
are coming around to agree
ment with him.
BUT
m These GOP political farm
ers say .
"He may be right but
we've got to DITCH him if
we're going to win."
A THOUGHT:
Might it. no be better
for the Republican party,
over the long pull, to lose
with a GOOD man than to
win with an anything - for
votes demagogue? . . .

What good is a party if it
has no PRINCIPLES it is will

appointments as a vacation
spoilt by the weather. And in
an odd, indefinable way, the
Eisenhower lucky star has
been a vital factor in the
American political scene for
a good many years now.
There has been about the
President an aura of success,
an emanation of ultimate
triumph. The Eisenhower
aura was the X factor which
ensured Adlai Stevenson's
crushing defeats. It has been
the great central Republican
asset. And now it has begun to
fade so rapidly that it is hard
ly there any more.
I
F YOU consider the political
scene from which the Presi
dent escaped to Georgia, you
can hardly blame him for
wishing to escape. Just before
he left, record unemployment
figures were announced.
When he made, an aptimistic
statement about a coming
economic upturn, the nation
yawned skeptically, and the
stock market fell. '
Since he left, a little-known
Democrat has come within a
tiny margin rof taking a Minn
esota congressional seat which
has been heavily Republican
within living memory. The
main issue was the recession
and the Eisenhower farm
policy. And a Congressional
inquiry has suggested that the
behavior of some of the Eisenhower-appointed
members
of the Federal regulatory
agencies has been somewhat
less clean than a hound's
tooth. ; - ,
Such small troubles have
been only the last in a whole
sea of big troubles which have
plagued the President, like
some latter day Job, through
out the last 12 months. It is
possible to pinpoint rather
exactly the beginning of the
President's time of tribula
tion. rpHE President's bad time
-- began early last year,
when his Georgia host, form
er Treasurv Secretary George
Humphrey, attacked the Ad
ministration s budget, and tne
President failed to respond
vigorously. That episode
sparked the famous budget
revolt, which disastrously
eroded the President's au
thority on Capitol Hill.
Since then, everything has
cone wrone for the President
Little Rock, to which the
President reacted too mucn
and too late, the Sputniks,
which challened the myth of
his infallibility in defense
matters, and now, worst of al,
the threat of a serious reces
sion. At least in a symbolic
sense, the lead paragraphs in
the current issue of "Time"
magazine may represent a
more significant political
event than the Minnesota elec
tion. For "Time" sharply
criticized the President, at
least by implication, for his
inattention to his duties,
which is rather as though the
"Osservatore Romano" had
suddenly attacked the Pope.
The President has had,
quite literally, the most favor
able press of any President
in American history, not ex
cepting George Washington.
His admiring press has been a
major factor in the Presi
dential aura (though the
President's e x t r aordinarily
attractive . .personality has
been, of course, the central
factor). But especially since
Little Rock, the Sputniks and
the onset of the recession, the
President has been far less
immune to press criticism
than in the past, as "Time's"

Proposed Atlantic Federation
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IP) There is

tion in which
citizens of the
U.S. of Amer
ica would be
come citizens
of the U. S. of
the Atlantic.

Lyie c. Wilson For exam
ple, the average citizen more
likely than not would be sur
prised to learn that the U.S.
Secretary of State is substan
tially committed to such a
plan. At least he was so com
mitted and still is listed as an
advocate of a'n international
conference with something of
that sort in view.
In the same category are
former President Harry S.
Truman, former Secretary of
State George Marshall and a
host of others.
Secretary John Foster Dul
les is listed by the Atlantic
Union committee (AUC) Inc.,
with 50 past or present mem
bers of the U.S. Senate who
supported one or more of
three resolutions proposing
an exploratory convention
looking toward a political
and economic combination of
the Atlantic nations. .
Stevenson Signed Up
There are 159 names on the
list of former and present
members of the House who
supported that idea. More
over, AUC proudly lists 700
members of the Atlantic
Union committee. There are
representatives in every state
of the union, including 65
college presidents.
The report of last week that
Adlai E. Stevenson had sign
ed up as a committee member
brought from Justin Black
welder, secretary of AUC, an
illuminating letter.
"You might be interested
in knowing," Blackwelder
wrote, "that there are two na

U.S. interested in closer eco

all the evidence of a mount

gress against the President's
policies. A real and present
danger then becomes ap

It is the danger of a two-
year period of headlessness, a
period when a lame duck
President,' his aura lost, his
authority disregarded, his
leadership challenged, will
serve out his time in isolation
and frustration.
. Perhaps the danger is not
real and present after all. It
will not become a reality if
the responsible Congressional
leadrs can help it. Senate Ma
jority Leader Lyndon John
son, for example, is fully
aware that Congressional gov

made to work in these times.
And all sorts of things, an
economic upturn, for ex

his leadership at home and
abroad, could transform the
situation.

Comment
r CRATER LAKE ,
It should be ' of some con
cern to us that Crater Lake
National park last year was
one of the; few national park
areas that showed decreased
use, compared with the previ
ous year. At the same time
the number of overnight visi
tors and the use of restaurant
facilities increased. But the
decline in ".local use" brought
down the total figure.
Some of this may be at
tributed to the" fact that many
of us misunderstood, what
there is to see and do at Cra
ter Lake. It's too easy to view
the national park only as a
place where one gets out of
his car, walks across the road
to the rim, looks at the blue,
blue water and Wizard island,
says "Huh!" and then drives
home. Once seen, Crater Lake
holds little attraction for
those who take this narrow
view of the offerings of this
large national park that is so
few hours drive from Eugene.
Actually, it is sort of place
a person of inquisitive bent
could spend many days, even
months. Geologically it is one
of the wonders of the conti
nent. And because it is a na
tional park where hunting is
forbidden, it is also a game
refuge, teeming with species
rarely seen in the "open"
forests that surround it. And
plant life is as varied as the
fauna.
Nor is this sunken lake,
which is the main attraction,
the only place in the park
worth visiting. The pumice
desert on the north, the pin
nacles on the southeast, the
canyons on the south, the
peaks that rise up from the
lake rim are all worthy of
more attention than we give
them.
Fortunately or unfortunate
ly, the lake itself is so re
markable that we neglect the
other features nearby. And
that may account in a meas
ure for this decrease in lo
cal traffic.

viewpoint of the United States
and its allies the merger was
an unfavorable development.
But advices from the Mid

instead, prove to be unfavor

ined attempt to make its in

world.
Political Parties Split
These advices come from
sources which are friendly to
President Gamal Abdel. Nas
ser of Egypt.
But the informants also are
responsible Americans who
share the view that Russia's
drive is dangerous.
They say that Nasser nego
tiated the merger because he
was alarmed ovep the possi
bility that Syria might fall
almost completely under Com
munist domination.
They assert that Syrian
political parties were split
and were under strong pres
sure from pro-Communist ele
ments.
The army also was split,
they report, between Pro-Rus
sian and anti-Russian officers,
They say that President
Shukri Al-Kuwatly of Syria
agreed to the merger, even
though it means handing over
his powers to Nasser as presi
dent of the new republic, be
cause he felt that Communist
influence -endangered both
his own country and his own
job.
Reds Reported Angry
It may be noted that late
dispatches speak of increas
ing Syrian enthusiasm for the
merger with Egypt.
This enthusiasm, the dis
patches say, is shared fully
by anti-Communist elements
who had watched with grow
ing anxiety the growth of
Russian influence.
Informants who put for
ward the argument that the
Egyptian-Syrian merger will
prove to be a break on the
Communist penetration say
that the Soviet government
really is angry over it.
