MAIL TRIBUNE Kreisman on Citizenship We can think of few persons better equipped to address a gathering of students on the subject of government than the man who was so em ployed last week, at the banquet held to mark Student Government day. The speaker was Arthur Kreisman, scholar, teacher, student and philosopher. He is widely known in the valley for his lucid discussions of literature on television, and, at one point, was even better known in his home town of Ashland for his clear-headed search for solutions, and his refusal to accept some of the stodgy excuses why government "cannot" do some of the things it should do. OIS talk to the students showed that Dr. Kreis- man lias given a great deal of serious thought to the problems of making local government work. And he is not blind to the hazards which lie in the way misunderstanding, lack of infor mation, and suspicion on the part of the public, on one hand, and inertia and disregard of the people's wishes (in too many cases) on the part of public officials, on the other hand. But let Professor Kreisman speak for himself. Here paraphrased are excerpts from his talk, which reasons of space prevented from being re ported as fully as they merited in the news columns earlier: In government, people get what they deserve. When they gripe about their local government they are merely talking about themselves. Local govern ment is what they make it. Interest in local government is basic. It does little good to be full of theories on how the world should be run when a person knows little about how his local government actually should be run. Good government, like charity, begins at home. All too few people have a deep and continuing interest in their local government. Choice of people to run that government too often goes by default. During an election period, those in terested in local government literally have to go out and beat the bushes and do some arm-twisting to get candidates for offices. Local government, then, falls on the sftoulders of a few public spirited, successful .and busy people. Their friends and supporters the people who put them in office too often evaporate in their support when the heat is on. The average citizen sits at home and grouses about the government, pays taxes, and even votes if he happens to think about it. It is the "average" citizen who is the curse of the community. Sunk in ignorance and apathy, he refuses to participate in community projects. This condition also extends to state and national levels. This same type of citizen howls down the people in his govern ment who have vision and foresight. The average citizen wants all kinds of services, but he won't pay for them. For example, a man's gutter plugs up with a little mud. However, instead of shoveling it out by himself in a few minutes time, he gets on the 'phone and calls the city. The city sends out a truck with all kinds of equipment and a crew. The job is done, but it is such demands which cost the taxpayer plenty. Then he complains when his taxes must be raised to pay for such services. . Mr. Average Citizen is law-abiding man. He thinks laws are fine for everybody else. He cuts corners, then squawks when he is penalized for it. During election time a big campaign is put on to get these people to vote. This is a silly kind of trouble to go to just to get out the vote of people who are actually little interested in their government. Just think what would be accomplished if -every citizen believed he had to give some time to public service. This is not an unworthy ideal. It's .the kind of ideal these young people are being invited to adopt. Through this program (Student Government Day) more citizens become thoroughly familiar with the problems and needs of their community and govern ment. The average city council meets in solemn silence. The only time citizens appear on the scene is when they anticipate fireworks because of some controver sial community problem. Every time the people fail to support their elected officials or to back them up, it is costing the people money. Eventually the elected officials get tired after constantly having to ruck public opinion, and continually make explanations. Then, eventually, they refuse to submit a needed bond issue, and com munity needs pile up until something has to be done. Then it costs the taxpayers about four times as much as it would have originally, when the needs were first recognized and a bond issue submitted to their vote. rR KREISMAN concluded his talk with a plea for more cooperation, more understanding, and a better-informed and more interested citi zenry. His points are valid and his conclusions sound up to a point. But it occurs to us that he may be just a bit on the pessimistic side. We, too, have seen the type of behavior of which he complains, have seen needed improvements delayed time after time by apathy or unthinking and short-sighted opposition. But there's a bright side to the coin, too. We do have people who are willing to sacri fice their time and their talents to the public serv ice. We do have men and women who are sin cerely concerned with local government, and who are willing to work at it. A ND it is a good thing this is so, or else local government would founder in a sea of sus picion, befuddlement, cynicism and inefficiency. We loin with Dr. Kreisman m behevmsr that Darticination bv students years in local government learning of the prob lems and difficulties at first hand is the best possible kind of training for citizens, of the future. They will be needed with those now so engaged. And there are such. Dr. Kreisman should know. He served four years on a city council an unpaid and largely thank less job himself. E.A.

WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) Repub lican anguish under the hurt of Harry S. Truman's cam paign oratory is matched by adminis tra tion anxiety to make an ade quate answer to the former p r esident's Washington Birthday ad dress. The f or- Lyia c. Wilson mal Republi can reply is tentatively sched uled for March 4. It would be a wonderful op portunity for somebody. As Bert Williams, the old black face comedian, used to sing, some Republicans are saying: Wonderful opportunity for somebody; somebody else, not me. As of 72 hours after HST raked the administration in a give-'em-hell sendoff to the 1958 Democratic congression al campaign, Republican strat egists had not picked their man to answer the former President. The search has been on for weeks because it long had been known what Tru man intended to do last Satur day night. If such an attack had been made on Franklin D. Roose velt during his presidency, FDR most likely would have come out of his corner swing ing and the attacker might soon have wished he never had been born. Failing that, President Roosevelt had a stable of hatchetmen and the incomparable- political poison pen of the late Charley Mi chelson. FDR not only had them, he used them to the utmost. "Mow the man down," FDR would say to Charley Mike or to the late Harold L. Ickes and the mowing proceeded in the roughest kind of style. The Ick, as Honest Harold familiarly was known to FDR, was known around town, also, as Donald Duck in recognition of the sustained staccato of his quackery. Charley Mike was a sure shot with his trusty type writer, a political gun slinger unmatched before or since. Old Charley was publicity di rector of the Democratic Na tional Committee, an asset to the party near the weight of James. A. Farley and of FDR, himself. Takes on Tough Ones Deadly in debate as were Michelson and Ickes, it was FDR on his own who usually took on the tough ones and when Mr. Big mowed 'em down they were likely to go down for good. That's, what Republican strategists would like just now to happen to Try and i igp j -By BENNETT CERF- iLIFTON FADIMAN, eminent critic, believes in the encour agement of authentic (NOT publicity-crazy) eccentrics, and cites as prime example (1) the French dandy who paraded down the Champs Elysees trailing a live lobster at the end of a string, because, he explained, it knew the secrets of the sea, and (2) the late Joe Gould, of Greenwich Village via Har vard, who, inheriting $1,000, bought a big radio, took it out on Sixth avenue, and kicked it to ' pieces. "Kip" Fadiman also recalls an off beat mathematics professor who vacationed in Brussels so he could readily organize mountain-climbing expedi tions to the highest point in Belgium. How high was that point? The prcf replied, "12 feet above sea level." David Niven asked a shoestring producer how his latest picture was faring at the box office. "I'll be perfectly honest with you," the producer replied. "I won't answer." 1958, by Bennett Cert Distributed by Kiss Features Syn4i?ste. Harry S. Truman. So it might be if President Eisenhower would do the job himself, bringing to the task, as did FDR, the great prestige of the White House. Some Re publicans think the President should do that but that large ly is wishful thinking. DDE has no stomach for the rough and tumble of politics, and ac cordingly, he probably will duck this party job. Vice President Richard M. Nixon may have to do the honors although it is reason able to presume he is not eager. His reluctance, if any, would not be for distaste of political conflict. The vice president is a rough man in political debate, as Truman and other wounded Democrats well know. But the White House on occasion has re quired Nixon to soften his campaign speeches. Given full freedom to answer Truman's kind, to slug him with bare knuckles, Nixon might wel come the opportunity to an swer HST. It would be quite a show. Republican Rally Slated in Salem I n t e r e s ted Republicans from Jackson county "have been invited to participate in an "old-fashioned Republican political rally," in Salem Fri day, March 7, according to State GOP Chairman James F. Short. Local candidates, as well as party members from through out the state have been in vited, he said. The majority of candidates for statewide offices, as well as many coun ty officials and candidates, have indicated they will at tend. Don Stathos, Jackson coun ty cRairman, has been asked to report on Republican activ ities in this area. Governors Oppose National Guard Cut Colorado Springs, Colo. (IP) Federal cuts that would re duce Oregon's National Guard by several hundred men have been opposed in a resolution of western governors. The conference gave full support to the resolution pro testing plans to reduce Na tional Guard strength in the United States from 400,000 to 360,000. Some 21 units of the Oregon Guard would be af fected under the proposal. Gov. Robert Holmes, who is chairman of the confer ence's resolutions committee, presided today at a roundta ble discussion on natural re sources.

Medford Townsend Plan To the Editor: Let's look back to your editorial of July 31, 1946, headed "Another Townsend Plan," and my re ply of the same date. And for a few minutes con sider what has happened in the meantime. Instead of hav ing in effect the Townsend Plan for National Insurance on the pay as you go basis, with only a 2 per cent gross tax, we have now a record national debt of $270 billions with $8 billions annual inter est, and Still millions out of work, thousands of bankrupt cies in all states, and still no one knows how to stop it. Even the press still short sightedly will not expose the foreign legalized counterfeit ing agency politely known as the Federal Reserve, and which is and has been for 42 years the real cause of de pressions. Oregon also now has noth ing to offer the new manu facturer or business man, but Indiana has, where they have a large surplus; also Hawaii, with no debt at all, unless they shortsightedly become one of the states. The Townsend plan was and is, the only plan that would also put the country on a business basis instead of the screwy Social Security, now so lopsided, and as the au thors now admit is not found ed on the right basis. It is like using the waters of the Rogue river to make electricity, and then the wa ters go on to the sea. We like wise could control the flow of money with 2 per cent gross tax, use it, not hoard it, as it is only a medium of ex change.

McCANN United Press Correspondent A serious split has develop ed in the leadership of the East German Communist party. Three first-ranking men have been ousted from their posts in the last few weeks. Others are under attack. It is report ed persistent ly despite de nials, that Walter Ul bricht, the party leader, and Premier Otto Grote whol are on opposite sides in what looks like a critical situation. The split stems from dis agreement on party policy "Stalinist" Ulbricht, who favors- a harsh dictatorship, against a number of "revis ionist" leaders who favor a relaxation like that which has taken place in Poland. But the quarrel also is re ported to be due to the in creasingly serious East Ger man economic situation. Ulbricht and his support ers are trying to speed up production at the expense of industrial workers, by in creasing individual output quotas without raising wages. Favors Concessions Ulbricht's opponents favor concessions to industrial and farm workers. The fear that popular unrest might lead to a new uprising like that of June, 17, 1953.' .There is no evidence that such an uprising is likely. Neverthelss, East Germans obviously are unhappy. They have only to contrast condi tions in Red-ruled East Ger many with those in free West Germany, which is about the most prosperous country in Europe.- Ulbricht seems to be firm ly in control of the party ma chinery. But dissension is so serious that it is bound to weaken the Communist re gime unless it is ended. In consequence, it is be Charles M. McCann Rise in Gold Price Advocated by Many Wall Street Groups. By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York OP) The sug gestion of a gold price rise is coming up again' in finan cial circles as it always does in times if a business dip. .Many groups have a d v ocated a rise i n the price which today is $35 Eimer waizer ner fine ounce where is has been since Jan uary of 1934 when formal dollar devaluation was an nounced. The stock exchange house of John H. Lewis & Co. has devoted its entire Bondex weekly stod-. bulletin to the gold situation. L It ' publishes a tabulation compiled by the Internation al Monetary Fund showing gold holdings of various na tions and the number of months the gold holdings would finance imports for each of several years. For example in 1937, world gold was placed at $25,300, 000,000 and imports at $27, 261,000,000. That meant the gold of the world would fi nance 11.2 months of im ports. In 1956 the figures were $35,500,000,000 for gold and $98,064,000,000 for im ports a mere 4.3 months. The Contrast United States gold in 1937 would pay for 43 months of imports; 1957 only 19.1 for it.

Communist Leaders ing reported that Ulbricht may soon order a "sweeping purge of his enemies. The party split first became apparent when Karl Schird ewan, Ernst Wollweber and Fred Oelssner were expelled from their posts in the ruling Communist Party Politburo and central committee. Oels sner later was ousted as a deputy premier. Paper Attacks Selbmann Communist Party newspa pers now are attacking Fritz Selbmann, one of East Ger many s leading economic ex perts, who only last week was made deputy chairman of the state planning commission. Selbmann is under attack at present on the ground that he thinks too much along "capitalistic" lines in his In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Government figures show the nation's output of goods and services climbed to a rec ord 434V4 billion dollars last year (1957). That figure rep resents a five per cent rise over 1956. The new high was achiev ed despite a decline in the production rate in the final quarter of 1957. QJOUNDS pretty good, does- n't it? But wait a minute. The figures are quoted in DOLLARS. Because of infla tion, the value of the dollar hast been shrinking. In periods of inflation, it "takes MORE DOLLARS to buy a given amount of goods. - So the figures aren't quite as gbod as they sound. WHAT is inflation? Put it this way: You're a dairyman. You be gin to feel the pinch of rising costs. So you put water in the milk. Thus you have more milk to swap for other things. It looks like a good scheme. But, sooner or later, the sugar merchant gets the same idea. months. United Kingdom's ratio fell from 8 months in 1937 to 1.2 months in 1957 The article notes that many economists oppose a rising price for gold, but that many bankers are alarmed at the decreasing liquidity of many nations on the basis of gold and imports. The problem of liquidity, they hold, could be met by a devaluation of all cur rencies in terms of gold in other words, raising the price of gold. Bondex hears that a com mittee of the International Monetary Fund is currently studying the problem. ' "As the recession in this country deepens," says the Bondex article, "official op position to a higher gold price may, diminish. The need for augmenting the world's liq uid resources could also - be met by more liberal U.S. trading and still more foreign aid. Increasing Opposition "As a matter of fact, how ever, such proposals are en countering increasing opposi tion in Congress. By contrast, raising the gold price may appear politically defensible, even though some of the bene fits from such action would fall to the Soviets." Bondex has compiled a ta ble showing mine production of gold for leading areas in terms of various prices $35, $52, and $70 per fine ounce. ' United States production for 1956 amounted to $65, 280,000. .This figure would rise to $96,990,000 with gold at $52 an ounce and to $130, 560,000 at $70 an ounce. The sterling area would rise from $650,460,000 at $35 an ounce to $1,300,920,000 at $70 'an .

Party leaders also are mak ing demands in newspapers that additional punishment be imposed on Schirdewan, Woll weber and Oelssner for op posing Ulbricht. An interesting angle of the report of dissension between Ulbricht and Premier Grote whol is Grotewohl's personal position in East German lead ership. He was a leader of the Social Democratic party and led a wing of it into co operation with the Commun ists.. He is valuable to the Reds as a symbol of unity between Communists and Socialists. Hence Ulbricht might think it unwise to oust him even itf they disagreed. So he puts sand in the sugar he swaps for your milk. The flour merchant, caught in the same bight of the line, puts chalk in his flour. So, in the long run, nobody really profits. BUT Spprtlv We all love inflation and hope it never ends because in inflationary periods prices and wages KEEP ON RIS ING, thus creating the illu sion of prosperity. That s the long and short of it. SO MUCH for the t inflation problem.

He adds: "Arabs NOW RULE THE MIDDLE EAST." T'M afraid he's wrong, but I hope he's right.
