San Francisco, April 1st April Fool's Day starts out ok
The Weather Man predicted rain as usual and here it is
8 a.m. and Old Sol is shining brightly in a cloudless sky.
How long it will last is another matter. We have been here
8 days and it has rained every day but one. There are
land slides all over the bay area. It is a common experience
to go to bed on the side of a hill and awaken a thousand
feet away in a ditch. You did not move but your house did.
Except the weather not much has changed since we
were last here. Lefty O'Doul has a new cafe down Geary
whirh he modestlv claims is the "best in the world." Mebbe
so. But the menu printed on the" imposing entrance doesn't
sound like it.
A huge ( airplane depot is going up at the corner of
O'Farrell and Taylor, across the street from the handsome
NBC building, and .only a few more steps from the Clift
than the present one". We don't know whether the Clift was
smart or lucky but undoubtedly its proximity to the air
terminal must be a big asset.
We have seen no signs of a recession thus far. Easter
only a week away may have something to do with it. The
stores around Union Square are well filled, at the noon
hour the motor cars and taxis are bumper to bumper and
everyone appears busy. But never have we heard so many
San Franciscans curse out, the-weather one hears it on all
sides. "Disgusting" is the mildest term we have heard.
-
San Francisco is a beautiful, charming and stimulating
city. But like Washington, D.C., it has its regusting spots.
And also like the national capital they are not far from the
center of things. For anyone who questions this we suggest a
stroll up Market Street on a Sunday, or up Geary from Van
Ness on any day of the week. If uncleanliness is at the op
posite pole from Godliness then no wonder the "Paris on the
Golden Gate" has its crime and especially its child delinquent
problem. "100 per cent Filth"' is the ONLY word for it.
A primary campaign is in 'progress here but thus far
have seen no visual signs of it. Senator Knowland, running
for Governor, has a picture of himself on his second floor
headquarters on Grant Ave., and Mayor Christopher has
his picture on his headquarters on upper Market. Not far
away is another sign telling the world "Christopher Milk
Makes Champs." The Mayor is running against Governor
Knight for the U.S. Senate nomination. (Republican of
course.) If Mayor Christopher can't keep his milk cleaner
than his sidewalks and streets, we would hesitate to drink it.
Secretary of State Dulles would be horrified at the
thought, of being compared to a punch-drunk prize-fighter.
But as the Russian bear delivers another terrific right
cross to the secretarial jaw, his Excellency does remind
us of Carmen Basillio wading into the clever and resource
ful Sugar Ray, getting hit with everything but the water
bucket and still standing up. As internationally this is a
fight to the finish, instead of a 15-rounder, we wonder if
there is no limit to what the erudite but inept and non
perceptive Secretary, can take. It would seem there isn't.
Of course, the same old alibi will be dusted off and
presented this Soviet decision to quit nuclear tests is
merely another propaganda trap which Uncle Sam is too
smart to fall for. Russia can't be trusted.
Of course she can't. And Russia doesn't trust the United
States. If there were mutual trust there would be no problem.
The point is, until there is mutual trust, everything that
can be done should be done to escape from those rights
and lefts delivered in rapid succession by the Kremlin bruin.
And then some skillful maneuvering deliver some of our
own. But the accepted strategy of the State Department is
to let the Kremlin do all the leading, glory in our ability to
absorb punishment, and justify everything by scorning all
Russia's leads by dismissing them as propaganda.
.
But at this stage of the game what isn't propaganda?
Nearly all international moves are made with an eye to
world opinion. The trouble with the present situation is
Soviet Russia is making all the moves. And day by day
in every way it is leading more and more nations to believe
that' Russia is the nation that wants an end to this nuclear
fall-out business and the estallishment of world peace, and
the United States ISN'T.
Is there no counter to this offensive, no real defense
to this attack? As far as we can make out, Secretary Dulles
thinks there isn't. :
Instead of condemning every move Russia makes as
merely propaganda, why not meet it with some effective
propaganda of our own only as David Harum suggested
concerningsjthe Golden Rule abandon our defeatist policy
and do it first!
Speaking of propaganda, one of the most shameful and
alarming examples of domestic propaganda, is the nation
wide campaign ' of the powerful Television interests to
establish an air tight monopoly, by broadcasting the false
hood, that "Pay T.V." would force the people of the country
to pay for the entertainment they now get f or-free.
That is 100 per cent false.
But through the tremendous propaganda power of the
huge Television networks, literally hundreds of thousands
of TV patrons were convinced it was true. So convinced
they followed instructions from their TV stations and so
flooded the congress with protests, that the FCC, already
under fire because of certain shenanigans, succumbed to
the pressure and nullified their order calling for a three
year trial.
.
And a "trial" was all that was ever considered. But the
TV "cartel" had so little faith in their ability to survive
that test that they proceeded to move heaven and earth to
prevent it. And they prevented it for the present at least.
It only shows what propaganda skillfully conceived and
applied can. dp in this free democracy of ours. Particularly
as was true in this case, where there is only one side of
the argument presented. (One stands in some awe before
what some unscrupulous political "cartel" gaining 'control
of TV could accomplish in this country!)
j
To further show how utterly false and misleading this
free TV propaganda was and is, the trial period allowed by
the FCC was restricted to those communities where at least
four TV stations were already in operation. In other words
there could be no Pay TV in a town the size of Medford
or we believe any other town in the state with the possible
exception of Portland. And then only one of the four
stations would be allowed to make the test-run, for a limited
period.
What would the other Free TV stations be doing mean
while? Would they close up and call it a day? How SILLY
can we get?
They would stay with their sponsored programs as they
are, of course. The only change would be that the people
who wanted to pay a small sum to see well say "The Bridge
on the River Kwai" or "The Ten Commandments" or some
Top Level Conference or something else of importance
which the Free TV stations could not or would not get
could do so. Is there anything wicked or undemocratic in
that particularly in our free enterprise system where it is
generally agreed monopoly is wrong and competition is the
life of trade?

Threat of Strikes Confronts
Unstable French Government
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
The threat of paralyzing na
tionwide strikes is confront
ing French Premier Felix
Gaillard with a new and ser
ious problem.
A strike by
one million
workers 'in na
tionalized in
dustries, un
der direct con

McCann activity in the
entire country Tuesday.
This 24-hour strike t was
called by all the big labor
unions Communist, Social-
ist and Catholic to back up
a demand for wage increases
ranging from 10 to 25 per
cent.
Union leaders say the strike
was merely a warning ges
ture, and will be followed by
bigger, longer strikes unless
Gaillard concedes the wage
demands.
Strikes May Spread
Gaillard's position is that
the budget will not permit
wage increases at this time.
In the background lies the
threat that strikes may spread
to private industry.
The workers, in both na
tionalized and private indust
ries, are getting increasingly
restive because of the con
stantly rising cost of living.

Matter of Fact
Well, there is the' usual compensation. Eventually the
truth will prevail, and when it does, and the people see the
situation clearly, there is slight doubt that Pay TV under
reasonable regulations will be adopted because the Ameri
can people will demand it.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers.
But error wounded writhes in pain,
And dies among his worshippers."

Finally, if Pay TV is as unpopular with the Television
public as the TV Big Shots claim, and as the letters to the
congress (they maintain) demonstrate, then why in the
name of Pete, be so terrified of it? Why declare . there
FROM ONE POLLYANNA
TO ANOTHER
Washington Dear Joe:
Well, the time has come
alas,' to pack up and go our
separate ways,
after more
than 12 years
and (appalling
thought) some
two and a half
million words
In those 12
years, we ve
been to a lot
of places, from
nr . i
Stewart Alsop ivi B - " w l"
Manhattan, Kansas, and we've
covered a lot of news, from
the Little Rock riot to the
Korean war.
In 12 years, I've learned
something, at least, about re
porting. You remember per
haps too vividly that when
I joined you I'd never written
a line for a newspaper. When
aspiring young newspapermen
ask me how to become a col
umnist, I always answer,
"Have a brother who already
is one."
The first thing I learned
was that reporting is hard
work, and especially hard on
shoe leather. Not all of it is
hard, to be sure. You remem
ber those days when we were
putting salt on Louis John
son's, highly exposed tail,
(Dear me, what fun that was,
and how long ago it seems.)
He always firmly believed
that he was the victim of out
rageous Pentagon "leaks." In
fact, as you know, we got 90
per cent of our information
about how he was destroying
our defenses simply by exam
ining his own line budgets
"OUT it was rarely that easy.
Sometimes the job of a
reporter seems to me like a
paleontologist's. You'd find a
thigh bone buried deep in the
subsoil, and then I'd find a
couple of teeth or a tibia, and
pretty soon we could confi
dently reconstruct the whole
skeleton. There is hardly any
thing more exciting, and en
joyable, I think, than that
feeling of being on the trail
of something really im
portant. Not all of it has been enjoy
able. We've never written
anything important that the
Russians didn't certainly
know already. But we've been
the subject of five or is it
six now? "security investi
gations," and that gives a man
a queasy feeling. Not half so
queasy, though, as those in
evitable moments (usually in
the dog days, after Congress
had adjourned) when there
seemed nothing at all to write
about, except the squirrels on
the White House lawn.
There -have been moments,
too, of frustration, when we
have both felt that we were
crying in the wilderness, with
nobody listening. And we
have had our differences.
I
STILL have that column
you vetoed, in which I
By Stewart Alsop .
i wrote that the 1948 election
would look like a horse race,
if it weren't for the Gallup
Polls. And I remember plead
ing with you (fortunately in
vain) to hedge on Tito's revolt
against Stalin; andangrily ar
guing with you that you vast
ly over-estimated the import
ance of the decision to with
draw our troops from Korea
in 1949.
But our differences have
been on matters of detail and
interpretation. On the big
things we have always
agreed. You remember how
often, when one of us has
been abroad, and our letters
have crossed, we have writ
ten the same things to each
other, almost in the same
words. I suppose that is one
advantage of being brothers
as well as partners. On one
point especially we have
agreed absolutely.
When we started our part
nership on January 1st, 1946,
the two great processes which
have dominated all the years
that followed were already
visible. One was the creation
and growth of the vast new
boviet-uommunist empire.
The other was the develop
ment of new weapons which
will make it possible for man
to write finis to the story of
his (and no doubt all the
other higher animals') life on
earth.
tlTE have always agreed
absolutely that it was our
function as newspapermen to
report seriously, and write
seriously, about these two
processes. Because we have
done so, we have been called
pessimists and doom mer
chants. But I have been leaf
ing back through those two
and a half million words, and
I really think that we are
more open to the charge of
excessive optimism.
We have generally under
estimated the capacity of the
Communist half of the world
to expand and consolidate its
power, to increase its military-industrial
base, to with
stand such shocks as Stalin's
death and the Hungarian re
volt. And we have also under
estimated the rate of scienti
fic progress (if that is the cor
rect word) -towards the point
where another great war will
destroy all forms of life
above the level of the praying
mantis.
In that sense we have been
downright Polly annas. And
we have always felt in our
hearts that, if the people of
the United States and the
West are firmly led and in
telligently informed, both
freedom and civilization will
somehow survive. And so, as
we prepare to carry on sepa
rately with the kind of report
ing each of us likes best, hail
and farewell, and the best of
luck, from one Pollyanna to
another.

should be no test to prove or disprove it? In the final
showdown, neither the politicians nor the Federal Com
munications Commission will decide this the people will.
Then why not let the people decide NOW?
That is all the FCC proposal would do but the FCC
lacks the stamina to stick to its guns, and allow a popular
referendum on it.
Surely even the Television monopolists can't deny that
if the people don't WANT Pay TV, they will not pungle
up their hard earned nickels and dimes to GET it.
So why not give it a trial and see what the people want
and don't want? Well, there obviously, 'to any impartial
observer, is the "rub."
The Big Networks realize that if the people were given
a free chance to have paid non-sponsored superior enter
tainment over TV they would want it.
And they would be glad to pay for it.
And that is why and the only reason why the Big
Networks are in their own self interest, "moving heaven
and earth" to prevent it.

!'Q.E.D,s." R..W.R. . ..
EUROPE REVISITED
Travelling about in Eur
ope, as I h ave been doing,
it has, of course, been only
too obvious that there is a
great decline in American
influence. The immediate
cause of it, is
no doubt, the
debility of the
P r e s i dent's
role in world
affairs, and its
a c c o m p
animent, per
haps its inev
itable accomp-
Walter Lippmann animent the
negativism of Secy. Dulles.
But what I learned in
Scandinavia, in Poland, in
Germany, in Britain and
France, persuaded me that the
compelling cause of the de
cline of our influence is that
the American view of the
main European issues is be
coming out of date, is being
by-passed by events, and that
when we talk about Europe,
and Germany, and the cap
tive states and Russia, we
sound rather like old codgers
talking about the past.
I became most aware of
this as I began to realize how
very different is the official
American view of Germany
from what one finds virtually
everywhere ' in Europe. We
have been taking it for grant
ed that the hope of the future
in Europe turns on the reuni
fication and revival of Ger
many. The truth, as I found
it, was that the World War is
not forgotten, indeed that the
memory of it is reviving, and
that to understand the Euro
pean situation as a whole it
is necessary to take account
of this growing fear of Ger
man domination. The spec
tacle of West Germany's eco
nomic recovery plus the grow
ing knowledge that there is
also a remarkable recovery in
East Germany have revived
the remembrance of the war
and played a very big part in
affairs.
I HAD not realized this be
fnro T wont aVTrafl li5p
time.-Always until then I had
believed that Germany, even
if reunited, was too small to
be a world power again. What
I failed to realize is that all
things are relative, and that
relative to the rest of Eur
ope excluding the U. S. A.
and the U. S. S. R. a re
united Germany would now
be the foremost power. In
London as in Warsaw, and
in the neutralist countries as
well, there is a deep anxiety
that this powerful reunited
Germany would become the
any or eitner tne u. 5. A. or
the U. S. S. R., or that it
would hold the balance of
power between them.
The practical effect of this
is that it is hard to find any
one who does not want to put
off as long as possible the re
union of the two Germanies.
This works out "in a curious
way. Those who are affiliated
with the West cling publicly
and officially to the Dulles
Adenauer formula of free
elections to unify Germany.
This is not because they be
lieve in the formula but be
cause ' they know that Ger
many cannot be unified under
that formula. Those who are
affiliated with the East sup
port the Russians in German
affairs, counting on the Rus
sians to protect them against
a reunited Germany. There is
no doubt at all, it seems to
me, that Poland, for ex
ample, longs for the with
drawal of the Red Army and
yet, out of fear of Germany,
hopes that until there is some
other kind of settlement of
the German question, the Rus
sians will stay in East Ger
many. IT IS in West Germany that
the official American-German
policy seems particularly
antiquated. Whatever their
neighbors may fear from them
the great mass of the West
Germans are not dreaming of
domination by a united Ger
many. They are worrying
about a united Germany.
Some are worrying because
they fear a revival of Ger
man nationalism, many more
because a united Germany
would probably be predomin
antly Socialist, others because
it would be extremely diffi
cult to integrate the collect
ivist economy of Eastern Ger
many and the capitalist econ
omy of Western Germany.
For reasons like these, the
Adenauer-Dulles formula has
a fading role among the Ger
mans. Few expect the for
mula to work, and few really
want it to work. What we are
going to see, it seems to me,
is as unfortunately only
the Russians have had the wit
to suggest negotiations be
tween the two German gov
ernments. As a matter of fact
there is already negotiation
about the currency and about
trade, all of it nominally at
a technical rather than at a
political level. These negoti
ations will almost certainly
broaden greatly into some
sort of political arrangement
which might one day take the
form of a dual state.
The West Germans will not
break with the Western pow
ers and the East Germans
will not break with the Sov
iet Union. They will seek to
obtain the practical advan
tages of reunion without the
serious political and psychol
ogical disadvantages..
HHHIS process in the two
Germanies will, I am con
vinced, promote and will be
accompanied by a thinning
out of the military forces in
Germany and in Central Eur
ope. There is every reason to
believe that the future of Cen
tral Europe lies with the prin
ciple of disengagement. But
the application of the prin
ciple will be gradual, and the
full application of it may not
come for a great many more
years than anyone can calcu
late about.
These developments will, I
believe, have acquired great
momentum in about three
years. I say three years be
cause at the end of that time
Adenauer is not likely to be
in power, and there will be
new governments in Britain,
France and the United States.
Put another way, the post
war governments will have
been replaced, and with them
the post-war policies which
are now rapidly becoming antiquated.
The decline of American
influence in Europe will, I
believe, continue as long as
our fundamental conception
of the future in the two Ger
manies and in East Europe
consists of the illusions and
stereotypes which the Eisen
hower administration inher
ited from the Truman admin
istration. For they belong to
an era when the balance of
power and the technology of
war and of diplomacy were
quite different from what!
they are today.

Their position is that re

Aside from the gravity of
the strike threat itself, there
is growing fear in government
quarters that big strikes may
bring riots.
Unrest In Army
Riots on any large scale
would precipitate a real na

mands, which might prove ir
resistible, that France install
an "authoritarian" govern
ment to bring it the political
stability it has long needed.
Dispatches from Paris say
that dissatisfaction over pres

not only among civilian work
ers but int he armed forces.
Professional army officers
increasingly complain of the
weakness of French govern
ments and the need for a
strong one.
The grim outlook is bring
ing increased attention to
what political writers call the
long shadow of Gen. Charles
de Gaulle. So far, De Gaulle,
wartime leader of Free France
and its first premier after the
liberation, has kept silent. But
he is waiting for a call. And
any such call might cause
really serious riots.

authority. But one or two sig

stand out as not being as they
should. In other words we
have been taken,' and will con
tinue to be taken as long as
we are willing to stand for it.
For after all, we ourselves

county might have new
schools, new recreational fa
cilities, new or improved
county roads, etc. Of course
this is all as it should be
But
When we go to the polls to
vote on such matters, do we
understand why we are

That's as far as their infor

Thanks to Dealers
To the Editor: We would
like to give public notice to
the Associated Automobile
Dealers of Medford for their
participation in the "Parade
of the Century" held in Med
ford March 21, a big event in
the annals of the Eagle Point
Grange. The appearance of
the cars from the showrooms
of Medford, dealers, contri
buted to the success of the
event. This is very much ap
preciated, not only by the
Grange but by patients from
Camp White, whose participa
tion in the parade was made
possible by these dealers.

Vote The Coroner Into OFFICE
Instead of Into BUSINESS!
When the County Coroner is a Funeral Director, as is the case in
Jackson County, there are certain obvious and natural advantages that
come to his business from his position as Coroner.
When he keeps these benefits for himself, he has been voted Into
business.
When he shares these advantages equally with others in his pro
fession, he has been voted into office.
We, like the Litwiller Funeral Home in Ashland, heartily endorse
FRANK PERL for COUNTY CORONER with his proposed, fair "Rotation
System," and urged your support for him.
