Lighthouse Dream
A newspaperman over at Coos Bay was work
ing away the other day
writing a news item about the Bandon lighthouse,
which some time ago had been abandoned, and
which was being put up
This newspaperman"1
name, but his initials are
ears m routine work the
a lot of the reading interesting to small portions
of any newspaper's readership and was tired
and dispirited. But the lighthouse item set him
to dreaming dreams of buying the lighthouse and
setting up (he asked pardon for the pun) light
housekeeping.
ARTS of his dream
we feel constrained to
"There on the. north bank of the Coquille river,
opposite downtown Bandon and fronting the Pacific,
we would sojourn in a. seaside sanctuary. There
would be no deadlines. In fact we would read the
newspaper two or three days late, only to vaguely
sympathize with those people struggling outside
our retreat. The lighthouse should have well-stocked
libraries of books and records, a bar, and a freezer
full of choice meats.
"We would fish, become intimate with the sea
and sky, write the one book that everyone might
create of his life, and laze about a good deal of our
unscheduled time. People? Once in a while we'd
cross the river to Bandon, but mostly we'd be content
to wave at people on the opposite jetty.
"We'd rekindle the light and get the fog signal
going again, softly. Oh, we know the Coast Guard has
branded the lighthouse obsolete, but getting it work
ing again would keep our social conscience quiet.
Satisfying our own wants no small art in itself
would be the reason for bsing of our lives."
THAT'S a nice dream.
know, "R.F." is still battling the daily battle of
deadlines and routine and
is correct, he's enjoying
But even newspapermen, in common with
the rest of mankind, enjoy dreams of peace, and
quiet, and solitude, and unlimited time to do all
those worthwhile things that one never quite
finds time to do.
It is good to dream, sometimes. But it is prob
ably just as well that most dreams don't come
true. If they did, who'd get things done? E.A.
Getting Things Done
Speaking of getting things done, it is inter
esting to note that this is getting less and less of
a physical chore.
A research organization, engaged in study
ing the past and future potentials of the American
economy, came up with some figures showing
the sources of work-energy of 100 years ago as
compared with today.
A century ago, human and animal muscles
provided a majority of work-energy; today it is
almost all done with mechanical energy.
JERE are the figures:
Human Energy Output 13.3
Animal Energy Output 52.4
Mechanical Energy Output 34.6
Horses, mules and oxen have been sup
planted by motor vehicles and tractors; ma
chines dig ditches, pave highways, cut trees, wash
dishes and clothes.
It's quite a change in just 100 years. And
much of the change has been in the past 50 or
30 years. ,

Defends Trappers
To the Editor: This is an
open letter to all it may con
cern. I would like to take the
part of Mr. McCabe as for my
views on trapping.
In the first place, when a
professional trapper makes a
set for an animal such as a
muskrat, beaver and mink, he
sets his traps so they can be
dragged out into the water,
but cannot come back to the
bank. When the animal steps
into the trap his first instinct
is to jump into the water,
which drowns the victim im;
mediately.
The reason for this is: first,
it keeps the animal from suf
fering; second, to keep the
pelt in good condition. Once
in a while if you catch an ani
mal and it breaks the bone in
his leg, he will chew off his
foot to get free, but in these
cases the trap is too big for
the animal, such as catching
a raccoon in a number four
beaver trap, the bone has to
be broken before he will
chew his foot off. Let's say
an animal of any kind steps
into a trap and breaks its leg
The first few minutes he is
too scared to think of the pain
it causes him; by the time he
calms down a bit the trap has
shut off the blood circulation
in his foot and it is numb, so
when he chews his foot off he
feels no pain whatsoever.
Mother nature has a won
derful way to take care of an
animal that has lost a foot in
a trap.
I've caught animals that
had lost a foot previously. It
would be all healed up as well
as if a veterinarian had am
putated it. Also, wild animals
do not have as highly devel
oped nervous systems as hu
mans, so all of our so-called
do gooders cannot measure
how much pain it causes the
victim.
Traps that are big enough
to kill a wolf or beaver will
kill your pet dogs, smaller
ones will kill your cats, larg
er ones might kill your chil
dren. I say keep what we have.
These old "busy bodies," who
want a new fur coat don't
seem to realize that they are
responsible for the animals
being trapped in the first
place. -
I also believe those plan
ning to vote on this bill
should familiarize themselves
with the facts and conse
quences completely.

Humane Bill Due
To the Editor: I'm an inter

mane Slaughter Bill No. 8308
passed on the final reading
when it comes up before the
Senate in the near future. It
has already been passed over
whelmingly by the House of
Representatives.
I wish to urge every person
interested in this humane
slaughter of our meat ani
mals to write your senators
of Oregon, Richard Neuberger
and Wayne Morse, to support
this bill when it comes up be
fore the Senate.

Esperanto
To the Editor: Will Russia
beat us with the universal lan
guage too? For many years
Russia suppressed Esperanto
but now she encourages it
and is making good progress
while we lag complacently.
Esperanto is only 70 years
old, but 5,000,000 people
throughout the world know
it, and it is widely used in
business, transportation, tech
nical and cultural circles. It
can be learned in a tenth of
the time required to master
any national tongue, and is
the logical choice for the in
ternational "auxiliary" lan
guage. -
Because of the great in
crease in air travel and other
scientific advances, Esperanto
is now gaining rapidly all
over the world. It is time we
woke up!

help of the educational effort
for better schooling, which is
already starting to scare
those politicians whose great
est asset is their ability to

the book, just so they get
elected.

Land of the Jews
To the Editor: I was inter
ested in Dr. Mehdi's com
ments concerning the Jews
and displaced Arabs. While
sympathizing with the latter,
perhaps we need an under
standing from God's stand
point for a proper perspec
tive. .
During Israel's 'disfavor,
the Gentiles were" given a
lease of power beginning
with Babylon, to be termin
ated by God's earthly king
dom through which, in Abra
ham and his seed, ". . . the
families of the earth (would)
be blessed".
In 1878 International Law
granted Jewish settlement
rights to Palestine; England
resumed a protectorate; the
Turks, by ameliorating condi
tions, encouraged Jewish emi
gration. Thus came the turn
ing point in Jewish favor, and
the beginning of their home
land trek prophesied in Jer.
16 which refers also to cer
tain fishers and hunters. Zion
ism's bait attracted symbolic
fish to Palestine. Pinsker in

1882 began preaching the
comfort of Isa. 40: 1, 2. Sub
sequently came others, in
cluding Dr. Herzl, who, pub
lishing his "Jewish State",
envisioned Palestine as a free
homeland; and, with associ
ates, frantically appealed to
Jewish pride, patriotism, to
establish Zionist societies, to
educate, to enthuse Jewry.
The first Zionist Congress
met 1897. In 1889 appeared a
book, "The Time is at Hand,"
indicating 1914 as the end of
the Gentile times, marking
important Israelitish change.
In 1891 another book, "Thy
Kingdom Come, told of "The
Restoration of Israel". Widely
circulated publications, lec
tures followed. Thus Zionism
served influentially (still
does) symbolically fishing
for Jerusalem's rehabilitation.
At the expiration of Gentile
lease, came World War I, fol
lowed by a miraculous wrest

Turks 1917, during which not
a gun was fired nor an iota

hopes were thus further in

Ike-Nixon 'Understanding'
On Disability Not Enouah
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (CI Presi
dent Eisenhower surely ac
complished one solid end
when he told this week's news
confer ence
that he and
the vice pres
ident have an
understanding
about what
should be
done if the
head man be
comes dis-
abled.
Lyie c. Wilson me end ac
complished was to provide
portion of their loan when
they build a new house. In
the same way, the govern
ment would be justified in
guaranteeing reasonable loans
to small businessmen to cover
needed inventories, improve
ments to stores or factories.
Washington is responsible for
inflation and should protect
worthy business against its
evil results.
Prices Which You Pay
In addition to urging your
Senators . and Representatives
to help small worthy business
men, every reader can help
by patronizing them. I would
strongly oppose boycotting
"big business." Both big busi
ness and small business have
their usefulness. Each group
keeps the other on its toes and
provides real competition. The
hope of the consumer is to
keep both big business and
small business alive and pros
perous. This means we should
divide our trade between
them.:
The lawyers and lobbyists
who are paid to represent
"big business ' claim that the
new inventions come from the
big concerns. They point to
the large amounts of money
which big business is spend
ing on research. Much work
may be charged to research
for tax purposes. I personally
have been very close to the
Patent Office in Washington
and believe that a larger per
centage of new inventions
come to the Patent Office
from small business than
through big business. A man
will naturally work harder to
invent something for his own
little business than he will as
an employee of a large con
cern. Actually, big business
watches the new inventions
and buys the good patents
that small businessmen have
taken out. Furthermore, many
patents are bought up by big
business in order to smother
thenu We consumers would
be better off if the small
businessmen, who invented
them, had the money to ex
ploit them.
Pay Compared
Big business can afford to
pay . a young man more to
start than can small business.
Big business goes to a college
and hires three young men at
$400 a month, with the idea
of keeping one and letting the
other two go. Small business
cannot afford to do this. Col
lege graduates should be very
careful not to be misled in
this respect. Young people
who lack the ambition to ever
become independent business
men will be happier working
for big business. But the
young man with initiative,
courage, and independence is
far better off working for the
small businessmen and ulti
mately becoming owner of a
business.
I believe there is a place
for both big business and
small business. I am merely
ureine that our government
and we, ourselves, do what
we can to keep both groups
prosperous. Trying to run a
country without small busi
ness is like trying to run a
Church without a Sunday
School. Let me further say
that if big business becomes
too big, it will lead to social
ism; while, without big busi
ness, the small businessman
will go to sleep. Finally, all
Trustees should be required
to put 10 per cent of their
funds in "risk'! investments,
both for insurance to the bene
ficiaries and for the good of
the nation.

Richard M; Nixon with some
much needed protection
against cruel needlers and
snipers.
Nixon has been peculiarly
vulnerable to the pot shot
marksmanship of his numer
ous enemies ever since Eisen
hower's 1956 heart attack. He
has been vulnerable because
he has found himself in the"
uncomfortable position of be
ing unable frankly to defend
himself against charges that
he was eager to seize and to
enjoy the presidential office
on something other than the
provocation of actual emer
gency. The vice president ap
parently has considered such
accusations better ignored
than answered, and he prob
ably is right on that.
Accusations Continue '
The accusations have con
tinued, although with dimin
ishing force. Their force prob
ably has diminished by rea
son -of a general acceptance
and public approval of Nix
on's conduct under trying cir
cumstances, y " .
Now comes the President's
news conference statement
this week that he has a clear
understanding with Nixon as
to what should be done in
case of the former's disability.
The nature of their under
standing was not disclosed,
nor was it disclosed whether
it was written or merely a
conversational pact. It will
serve substantially, however,
to relieve Nixon of the un
friendly questioning - of his
motives which has accompan
ied the President's several ill
nesses. That, however, did not ap
pear to have been Eisenhow

Difficult Situation
In North Africa
Top News of Week
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press' Correspondtnt
The week's good and bad
news on the international
balance sheet.
Robert Murphy, United
States deputy undersecretary
of state, undertook this week
to try to set
tle the dispute
between
France and
Tunisia over
the bombing
of a Tunisian
village by
French planes
France and
Tunisia had
accepted the
offer by the United States and
Great Britain of their help in
avoiding a threatened com
plete break in relations. Mur
phy, a diplomatic trouble-
shooter of note, was chosen
as negotiator.
Murphy conferred first in
Paris, then in Tunisia. His
talks with French Premier
Felix Gaillard and Fdreign
Minister Christian . Pineau in
Paris, and with President Ha
bib Bourguiba in Tunisia,
served chiefly to show the dif
ficulty of his task.
Bourguiba insisted that the
Algerian rebellion, of which
the village bombing was an
offshoot, must be taken into
consideration in the negotia
tions. Gaillard and Pinean re
fused. They insisted that Al
geria is a French internal
issue.
The North African situation
was complicated by an out
burst of fierce Algerian rebel
attacks on the French forces.
Dispatches indicated that
French losses totalled about
142 killed and rebel losses
about 400.
Some of the clashes occur
red close to the Tunisian bor
der. Many rebels base them
selves in friendly Tunisia, and
cross the border to attack the
French. The French said it
was only after rebel guns had

President was seeking (A) to
emphasize again his desire
for action toward a constitu
t i o n a 1 amendment dealing
with disability in the White
House and (B) to assure the
public of the fact that he had
done what he could to make
ready for the, emergency
which may come.
Understanding Not Enough
It was obvious to the Presi
dent, that his understanding
with Nixon was not enough,
that it had no legal nor con
stitutional standing whatever
and that Congress should get
going on something more
substantial. That should be
obvious to anyone.
How .necessary that could
be may be easily understood
by the briefest consideration
of the conditions which con
trol the use of A and H
bombs. Suppose, for example,
the radar warning network
alerted Strategic Air Com-
mand (SAC) headquarters in
Omaha that a hostile missile
was on the way. SAC bomb
ers always are revved up,
engines hot and ready and
they're off!
Between the moment of
that take-off scramble and a
time well before near ap
proach to the supposed enemy
target, the President of the
United States must act. By se
cret signal to those winging
SAC bombers the President
must authorize or forbid the ,
actual dropping of the A or
H-bombs. .
The President must do that,
not an acting president or a
vice president with a friend
ly and mutually agreeable un
derstanding about what to do
in a disability emergency.
Such a situation may never
come. But, it could and it
