Cars and 1 6-Year-Olds
The automobile, probably more than any
modem invention including the telephone or tele
vision, has changed the way-of-life of most
Americans.
It has gone far to destroy the barriers of time
and space, which once held people within fairly
small circles of activity.
Within the memory of many people is the
time when a jaunt across town was a time-consuming
project, and a visit to a nearby city was
an all-day affair. A visit to another part of the
state was a real journey, instead of a matter of
a few hours, driving in upholstered comfort over
smooth highways.
t
"THE automobile has given Americans mobility
undreamed of only a few short decades ago.
More than that, it has given car-owning families
travelling a "home away from home," and a free
dom to live at a distance from their work. It has'
changed the face of the cities and the country
side. And one of the greatest changes it has created
is in the life of the adolescent the high school
and college student for whom this mobility, this
new freedom, has provided a privacy and a lack
of restraint and guidance unparalleled in times
past.
Many of the young
to handle this new responsibility with intelligence
and sense. But some of
is these abuses that have brought about some
sober second-thoughts
lowing 16- and 17-year-olds
ing automobile's.
THE Eugene Register -
l.xiicu. iui a ia w laioiiig cue age aii vvnin ujic
can obtain a driver's license from 16 to 18. The
Salem Capital Journal
and other newspapers
Up in Walla Walla, Washington, Whitman
college has announced a new ruling regarding
cars for students. They will not be banned, but
no scholarship assistance will be provided for
students who can afford
automobile at school.
Some observers believe that the pattern of
teen-age behavior, particularly boys, is changed
by car ownership in other ways. Boys who have
cars have continuing expenses, and many are
working nights and week ends to earn the money
thus cutting m to the time valuable ipr study
ing, or for worthwhile extra-curricular activities,
ARE all these valid reasons to deprive young
The Register-Guard thinks so. It says:
' "If the age were raised to 18 for acquiring a
driver's license, some high school seniors would still
be able to drive. But the emphasis placed, on the car
would be eliminated. The argument that teen-agers
need a car for work is a weak one. Methods would
be found to get and from a job. And the argument put
up by high schoolers that you are legislating against
the many for the 'few bad apples' grows weaker by
attrition. v
"If Mom and Pop had to do some ferrying of the
teen-age son or daughter in the family car, better par
ental control would be automatic ...
"We don't intend to be harsh with high schoolers.
Today, they are generally a more intelligent and well
adjusted group than they were in our days as a teen
ager. But if the car were removed as an implement
for the teen-ager it would deprive him of very little
in the way of enjoyment. Different standards of being
'in-the-swim' would evolve almost immediately.
". . . If the next Oregon legislature raised the age
- for driver's licenses to 18, it is our belief that 80 per
cent of that overworked phrase, "juvenile delinquen
cy,' would be erased. And the high schooler would
find that life would be just as much fun, without the
car being a badge of stature among his fellows."
WE'RE not sure that
But it must be acknowledged that the auto'
mobile does create difficulties ask any police'
man ! and increases other types of problems.
This sort of "chop -
may not be the answer even though the Capital
Journal points out that voting, getting married
without permission, buying cigarettes and liquor,
and serving in the armed forces, are reserved
for boys and girls either two or five years older
than the present age limit for drivers;
IT IS an interesting proposal, and will be much
debated during the next year.
We would be glad to receive and print
opinions of our readers on the idea, particularly
from those who are in the age-group involved,
the 16 to 18-year-olds.
Is a car a necessity? Is it, as the R-G says, a
"badge of stature"? Would raising the driver's
license age to 18 really solve the problems which
unquestionably do arise when young people and
automobiles get together?
We'd like to know. E.A.
On Sunday Closings
Medford grocers are working on a voluntary
plan so that they can all close their doors on
Sundays, thus eliminating the high costs of doing
business on that day, and allowing their em
ployees to spend the day in worship or with their
families.
No one can have any serious objections to
such an agreement so long as it is TRULY
voluntary. But as soon as any element of coercion
appears, then we would have to object, and
strongly. If a man wants to operate a .store or
buy his groceries on Sunday, is a matter for
him and his own conscience, and is nobody else's
business. E. A.

Engineer, Veteran
Sees Military Pay
Raise Plan 'Joke'
(Editor's note: Robert B
Pechner, whose permanent
address is Box 25, Butte
Falls, is an engineer now
working in Turkey. In the
followina aricle. he discuss
es his viewpoint of the Cor-v
diner plan, a proposal to
increase the pay-status of
members of the Armed
Forces).
We have been reading
great deal in regard to the
clamor for pay raises for the
Armed Forces.
I for one most heartily op
pose any and all increases, for
whatever purpose the Gener
als, with their propaganda
machinations, indicate to the
tax-payers is most needed
The latest gimmick is the
Cordiner Plan. The purpose is
to pay more money to the so
called genius, but leave the
"Sad SackT status quo. They
say it will cost more tor
few years, but eventually
it
will taper off, and then be
cheaper. This is a joke. Soon
there would be no "Sad Sack'
type, but we would have 3,-
000,000 geniuses . all quali
fying for the high pay and
all essential for the defense
of the nation.
'Country Club'
It is time the people of the
country took a good hard look
at the "Country Club Mili
tary" we have operating to
day. No one denies the fact
that we must have a modern,
well equipped military, and
one that can protect us
against any and all emer
gencies. My point is' that pay
raises, pay raises, pay raises,
fall into -the category of
criminal waste.
I was a member of the
peace time Army and a Vet
eran of World War II. l am
Civil Engineer, and have
lived and worked abroad for
years. I have observed and
talked to members of our
Armed Services in Europe and
Asia. Believe me, we have in
the Military Service one huge
Social Club that extends from
the northernmost tip of Eur
ope all the way through the
Mediterranean and into Asia
(this is my personal know
ledge and I see no reason to
believe that it stops there),
Anyone, regardless of rank,
haj his car, servants, families,
in-laws and their families,
PXs, movies, commissaries
hospitals, bowling alleys, of
ficer's clubs, etc. All at the
taxpayers' expense. If you are
in the higher echelons, you
even have airplanes at your
disposal, also at Government
expense. Observe the Officers
Clubs, and in some cities, one
is not enough they have two
or three.
More Than Base Pay
Whenever you hear the
pitch for more money, you
only are told the base pay.
Never do you hear anyone
say what the pay and allow
ances are. No one tells you
that a corporal living in a
city without quarters is paid
proximately $200 per
Sath extra. Does anyone
ever mention so-called haz
ardous pay? Do they mention
in addition, medical and den
tal care (all free), retirement,
and various and sundry other
extras?
As a veteran I can say that,
my opinion, the military
in peace time are Treasury
Parasites." This may sound
strong, but if it is considered
must be admitted to be
true. They produce nothing.
Their only function is one of
insurance. If you buy insur
ance on your life, or your
house, you look it over care
fully. You get the most for
your money. If the company
loosely run, extravagant
and inefficient you go to an
other company. We cannot do
that with the Armed Forces
but the people can demand
TIME mOZZ WE EXT.
DIRTY OlSfiESj ' .
an end to millions of dollars
for unessential expenditures
Overseas we should have
striking force. We have been
going from crisis to crisis for
the past 12 years. If suddenly
we should become engaged in
an all-out attack, we want to
be able to go into action. Our
forces cannot do that with
families, averaging three
small children, as well as
wives, uncles, aunts, etc., all
clamoring to get out. In Egypt
when the French and British
attacked, the waterfront and
airports were loaded with
American dependents, and we
had no troops, as such, assign
ed there at all. What would
it be in Germany for in
stance.
Challenges Assumption
The whole point is, the
military say if they are not
paid more, they will lose all
their well trained technicians
and top people. This is not
true. If they have a real
genius, no matter what they
pay they will lose him. As
far as the run of the mill tech
nicians go, they are not leav
ing because, by their own
statement, in many cases
they've never had it so good
in addition, with economic
conditions as they are now
how can private industrv
absorb the million or so the
services are talking about
losing?
In the face of rising unem
ployment, inflation, high
taxes, and a rising national
debt, how can a loyal Ameri
can in the government advo
cate raising the pay of any
department, especially one
that is now spending nearly
$50 billions. I say, let's cut
the appropriation. Only in
that manner can taxes begin
to come down. If the present
military leaders cannot give
us the protection we need by
spending less money, m cut
ting out the fol-de-rol, let's
get some others in there who
will. I think it is time the
military concern themselves
with military matters, and
leave the policy setting to the
people.
I am sending copies of this
letter to Senators Neuberger
and Morse. It is my suggest
ion others do the same. It is
time a sweeping investigation
of military spending, especi
ally overseas, be most" dili
gently and militantly pur
sued. Unless spending is
curbed, not only in the mili
tary services but other phases
of government as well, it is
not unreasonable to assume
that the economic stability
that made this country great
and powerful in the past, will
rapidly disintegrate.

Things Looking Up
For Stassen; GOP
'Regulars'
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (IPI The word
in Washington today is bad
news for Republican Party
r e g u lars in
the state of
P e nnsylvania
and from
coast to coast.
The word is
that Harold E.
Stassen has a
good chance
in Pen nsyl
vania to make
Lyle C. Wilson a big and
astonishing political come
back. Every Republican coun
ty chairman in the state op
posed Stassen's desire for the
party's governorship nomina
tion.
Primary day is May 20
Stassen's chances of winning
have been improving hour by
hour. Like Minnesota, his na
tive state, Pennsylvania will
not be big enough for Stassen
if he is nominated and elected
governor this year. Stassen's
ambition has been for years
to be nominated and elected
president of the United States
As the Republican govern
or of big Pennsylvania, Stas
sen would be entitled to an
other try for the presidential
nomination in 1960. Few who
have observed his political
career doubt that he has that
in mind and, if not in 1960
then, in 1964.
Bad News lor Nixon
All of this is bad news for
Vice President Richard M
Nixon. Stassen spent himself
and considerable mysteriously
contributed money in 1956 to
prevent Nixon's renomination
for a second term. He argued
that Nixon's name on the
ticket would cost President
Eisenhower millions of votes
and, probably, obtain the
election of the Democratic
presidential nominee.
So. as governor of Penn
sylvania. Stassen would be
counted among the biggest ob
stacles to the Republican nom
ination of Nixon in 1960 for
nresident. Pennsylvania is
tied with California for the
second largest delegation to
Republican national conven
tions. The Republican govern
or of Pennsylvania would con
trol that big delegation and
Stassen would be expected to
use that control to beat Nixon
and, if possible, to obtain the
residential nomination for
r -
himself.
All of this is causing regu
lar Republicans in and out of
Pennsylvania to He awaice at
night and toss in their bdds.
The opposition of the organi
zation regulars in fennsyi-
vania, such as an oi me coun
ty chairmen, njay be more of
help than a ninarauue . iu
Stassen m his campaign ioi
the Republican gubernatorial
nomination. Stassen is Dia-
ding for the maverick vote.
Aa "Old Pro"
Republican State Chairman
George I. Bloom warnea
party regulars the other day
against taking stassen iignuy.
Bloom caned him an "old
pro" and Stassen is all of
that. He is raking tne grass
roots in search of independent
votes and he is turning them
UP- ..
Stassen was tnree times
elected governor of Minne
sota before his home state po
litical chores were interrupted
by wartime naval service.
Seeking a more important po
litical background for his am
bitions, Stassen moved to
Pennsylvania in 1948 to be
come president of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Thence
he came into government
service in Washington and
achieved cabinet rank as the

Russia s own decision to sus
pend such tests.
Gromyko asserted that in
deciding to accept American
tactical atomic weapons,
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
ana nis teuow leaders were
"steering the country down
the same fateful road which
was once traveled by Hitler
Germany."
Says Nazis Wield Influence
He charged that Nazis
"wield great influence in the
top political and military cir
cles of Western Germany" and
that Adenauer's policy consti
tutes a threat not only to Rus-
Unhappy
President's special assistant
on disarmament.
Secretary of State . John
Foster Dulles finally pried
Stassen out of that job. He has
been called the first and only
victim of Dulles' policy of
"massive retaliation."
Stassen is well fitted to be
a politician. He does not
wound easily and he doesn't
bruise at all.

For Free Gold
To the Editor: In all five
western early gold producing
states, the gold and silver dis
coveries were the real begin
ning of settlement. The state
of California has and always
will be a top producer of
gold. The state of Nevada's 17
counties all are mineralized
and produce a great variety of
metals. We recently heard
the statement made, which
we have no reason to doubt
that there is enough rare met
als yet in the five .western
states to absorb the national
debt, providing some the erst
while - war restrictions were
lifted so new mined gold
could be sold on an open com
petitive world free market
As long as the so-called pa
per money inflation con
tinues, the fact remains, that
the cost of production at pres
ent is prohibitive to mme
gold. This is the predicament
the gold miners are beset
with. '
Bert Kissinger,

Missionary Movement
To the Editor: The question
has been asked: "What is the
Laymen's Home Missionary
Movement?" May I, therefore
present the following?
The Laymen s Home Mis
sionarv Movement is an un
incorporated, interdenomina
tional, non-profit-making re
ligious movement, in which
Christian people from various
denominations and walks of
life voluntarily co-operate in
seeking to further its ' pur
poses. It i sfinanced by volun
tary contributions. Its pur
poses. It is financed by volun-
pel, to spread Bible know
ledge (particularly as it per
tains to our times), and to
further a greater interest in
group and personal Bible
study along undenominational
lines, especially among lay
men. It is not affiliated with
any other group, or with any
denomination.
Its work is international in
scope; there are many local
chapters in this and foreign
countries. It seeks to accomp
lish its purposes through pub
lishing and circulating books,
booklets, tracts and other lit
erature (including the Bible
Standard) in various
languages. Also, it has a staff
of qualified speakers. Among
other services, it furnishes
Bible film and filmstrip pro
grams, complete with speak
ers, for use in churches,
young people's groups, etc. It
arranges for and finances in
the public interest many such
programs in Y. M. C. A.'s
and Y. W. C. A.'s and other
public places.
The Movement was founded
by the late Prof. Paul S. L.
sia but to Germany's neigh
bors. The attack was overshad
owed by the melodramatic
announcement of the decision
to suspend nuclear weapons
tests.
But it was perhaps the
most ferocious attack that the
Soviet government has made
to date on Adenauer and his
policy of cooperation with the
other Western Allies in arm
ing against the threat of Rus
sian Communist aggression.
Following u p Gromyko's
speech, the Soviet Parliament
sent a strong message to the
West German Parliament
warning that it was "suicidal"
to accept American atomic
weapons;
It also ordered the chair
men of its two houses to send
messages to the governments
of all countries that fought
against Germany in World
War II, asking them to support
Russia s position.
Thus Gromyko's blast ap
parently was merely the first
move in a new campaign de
signed to rouse fear and sus
picion of Germany in those
countries, like France, which
Hitler's armies invaded.
Despite the fact that Ade
nauer was an open enemy of
Nazism in Hitler's day, Gro
myko said that the tactical
atomic weapons "are being
made available to the forces
that unleashed the second
world war, which took the
lives of tens of millions."
He insinuated that though
supposedly any atomic weap
ons supplied to West Germany
will be used only by authority
of the North Atlantic Treaty
Command, the day might
come when Germany would
use them for its own pur
poses. Johnson, who served as its

From 1920 onward he served

Prof. R. G. Jolly serves as

Trustee and Director, and as

Drivers for Safely
lo the Editor: We are a
group of profession?! drivers,
who feeling our combined
years of experience in driving
the streets and highways of
the state should be of great
value in combatting the ris
ing toll of traffic accidents
have banded together in order
to better make our voices
heard. We feel that we, whose
worK lorces us to be con
stantly on the road, are in
the best position to recognize
hazardous conditions and
practices which should be
brought to the attention of
appropriate authorities. In
this we have had excellent co
operation from the Oregon
State Highway Department,
and traffic safety commis
sions.
We organized in January
1957 with nine men, and now
have a membership of over a
hundred. Inquiries have been
received from several other
communities about forming
chapters in their areas. We
feel, in time, this movement
will be nation wide. The only
requisites for membership are
three years experience as a
professional driver and a gen
uine interest in the promotion
of traffic safety. We are spon
sored by neither union or
management.
A number of us have taken
first aid course as truck
drivers are quite often first at
the scene of an accident.
I have written a letter to
the Medford hospitals advis
ing them of our blood bank
for victims of traffic acci
dents. We would appreciate
any coverage you could give,
in order that the general pub
lic be acquainted with this
program.

We Never Close
In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
The Soviet Union announc
es it is HALTING ALL
TESTS OF NUCLEAR WEAP
ONS -WITHOUT WAITING
FOR SIMILAR AGREEMENT
FROM THE UNITED
STATES AND BRITAIN.
WHAT is it?
' " A bold move on Russia's
part to break the deadlock
and save the world from de
struction in a nuclear war?
Not quite.
There's a catch to it.
This is the catch:
TN ANNOUNCING the deci
- sion, Russian Foreign Min
ister Gromyko said if the
United States, Britain and
other nuclear powers FAIL
TO TAKE SIMILAR STEPS
the Kremlin "naturallv" will
have to reconsider its action
in the interests of its own
security."
TMAT tabs it.
-1 It's a propaganda move
and a VERY smart one. It
puts on us the onus of refus
ing to go along with Russia
in ending nuclear warfare.
We HAVE to refuse. We
have to refuse because we
know Russia can't be trusted.
The Russians KNOW we
know they can't be trusted
so they are aware that in of
fering to put a stop to the
testing of all forms of nuclear
weapons they are taking no
chances.
From their standpoint, it's
a case of ' heads I win, tails
you lose."
T ETS not fool ourselves.
Russia's proposal is a fab
ulously effective propaganda
move. The world wants peace.
A lot of the world wants
peace at ANY price.
In the eyes of all such peo
ple in Europe, in Asia, in
Africa, even in the United
States of America Russia's
proposal to end testing of nu
clear weapons identifies her
as the friend of peace and
identifies us as a warmonger.
In a debate, a liar always
has a tremendous advantage
over a truthful man. He can
make any kind of wild state
ment he chooses. The truthful
man is hobbled and limited
by FACTS. The liar is ham
pered by no such limitations.
The cynical Russian com
munists know that and take
full advantage of it.
ALL this doesn't necessarily
mean that President Ei
senhower and Stale Secretary
Dulles are bungling workmen,
whose fingers are all thumbs.
It merely dramatizes the han
dicap that truthful men must
suffer when dealing with un
principled liars.
Their hope must be that in
the long run the truth will
prevail over clever and un
principled falsehoods.
California, Oregon, Nevada
and Idaho are leaders among
the , states in the production
of mercury.
