Editorial Correspondence . . .
San Francisco, April 7 "Men may come and men may
go but the rain goes on forever." This is the 12th consecu
tive day there has been rain in "Sunny California." It breaks
all records since 1880. We don't remember much about what
happened in 1880. We were 3 months old on the 21st of April.
One of the worst features of the current weather pro
gram is the early morning sunshine. Easter Sunday started
in a burst of glory. At 10 a.m. it was raining. This was fol
lowed by hail. All in all it was a hail of a day. But that did
not prevent 250 faithful worshippers going to the top of Mt.
Davidson for the annual Easter services. According to the
morning paper, there were 200 umbrellas and 239 raincoats
in the assemblage, also.
This is Monday but nothing "blue" about it. The sun is
pouring into the window from a cloudless sky. Showers are
forecast by the Weather Bureau however. The boys and girls
going to work don't believe their eyes, they 'believe the
Weather Bureau, all armed with rain-repellents of some sort.
With the record what it is no one can blame them.
If the Hollywood tradition since the days of Fatty Ar
buckle holds, then Miss Lana Turner is through. You can get
away with "murder" in Hollywood if no one knows what is
going on, but let the papers put it in their headlines and the
"Powers That Be" in the -movie capital refuse to take a
chance with an outraged public opinion. It remains to be
seen, of course, whether or not public opinion in this coun
try is as susceptible to outrage as it was in the early 20s.
In one of the items from Hollywood is the comment that
it was love and devotion to her mother that prompted Cheryl,
her daughter, to plunge that carving knife into Stampanato's
midriff and thus save Miss Turner from harm and perhaps
death. Well that may be true, but we doubt any competent
psychiatrist would make as simple a diagnosis as that. A girl
in her teens who could deliver that "coup de grace," as Miss
Crane did, show no signs of regret or emotion, and with zest
and gusto eat a hearty breakfast, including ham and eggs.
toast, jam, orange juice with a
hardly be classified as perfectly normal emotionally. At least
it is to be hoped that is not
crop of teen-agers. '
In any analysis of Cheryl
question of which is the dominant factor in adolescence, in
heritance or environment, would come up for extended dis
cussion. We don't believe one
blame both.
Again thanks to our "clipping service" we are indebted
to Editor Robert Ingalls of
quoting the former editor of
Streeter, as follows regarding
communications to the editor:
"Former Editor of the Grants Pass Courier Frank
Streeter wrote that he throws into the waste-basket
all letters in answer to editorial statements made in
that newspaper or which question .the correctness of
its news stories. That policy is plain enough but it has
its limitations."
If that quotation is correct
then it surely is PLAIN
tions it is plain lunacy. At
proper newspaper policy.
Any newspaper following
cease to be a NEWSpaper and become merely a personal
propaganda sheet.
It might be somewhat extreme to say that what the
Courier would not print in its
SHOULD print, but surely if
bility in the editorial department, then top priority regard
ing communications during a campaign or at any other time,
should be given to letters which do answer "editorial state
ments" and those questioning
Throwing all such offerings
we see it, be to violate one of the most important of proper
and self-respecting journalism's "10 commandments."
We have never been to the
have always hoped, one of these days, to go there. Cur curios
ity regarding India dates far back to Rudyard Kipling and
his Barrack Room Ballads, and to childhood tales of Alexan
der the Great and Marco Polo. (Did you know the game of
polo originated in India?)
Well we don't expect to make the trip now, for we have
been there. And it only cost
took only two hours.
The answer is Lowell Thomas' "Cinerama" up at the
Orpheum called "Search for

we did not see it before seeing

anti-climax. Here one flies the Atlantic, goes aboard an army
bomber to see the paratroopers jump with their packs on their

of the Indus m a rubber boat, enter sacred Budda temples

nation of some remote Maharajah with an elephant parade
that would make Ringlings' .look like County Fair one-ring

crowded streets of the prehistoric village is thrown in for
good measure.

Well for. once the boys and girls who toted their umbrel
las to work made a mistake. Put down April 7, 1958, as one
of the rare days of the year, warm, clear and summery. The
Weather Man is sore he predicts that the storm now 1500
miles out in the Pacific will strike the Golden Gate probably
Wednesday. Even so that will mean two days of decent
weather, which sets a record for the first quarter of 1958.

Stop Me
In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
Oregon's Senator Neuberg
er, who is at home for the
congressional Easter recess,
held a news conference the
other day at his Portland resi
dence. He told the reporters
that Oregon has gained a repu
tation in congress as the "tin
cup state."
Because, he added, he has
refused to go around with the
tin cup out (pleading with his
colleagues for help for poor
old Oregon, who is unable or
unwilling to help herself) he
has been threatened with po-
litical reprisal from some
members of his own party.
He said he has been told
by some Oregon Democrats:
'You'll STAY AT HOME
after the next election."
TJE went on to say to the
newsmen that Democrats
have criticized him for not
being "liberal." To that he
replied that one Can be lib-
eral, and one can be RESPON
SIBLE and for his part he
has chosen the course of re
sponsibility. He said he be
lieves, for example, that if
he had voted for a . pay in
crease for postal employees
without voting for an increase
in postal rates to finance it
ne could De accused oi tinru
CRISY and he doesn't pro
pose to be a hyprocrite.
DEFENDING his record,
Senator Neuberger said
he has helped to win support
for large federal appropria
tions for:
1. Forest access roads.
2. A survey of a site for a
postal annex in Portland.
3. Senate passage of a dui
for Fort . Clatsop
Memorial park.
National
ALL this, of
course. calls
for money
from Uncle
Sam. But
Uncle Sam owns
a wnaie
.
of a lot of our forest area
It seems reasonable that he
should build roads so that his
timber can be got at by buy
ers. Uncle Sam runs the postal
system. So he should provide
the money to run it adequate-
ly.
Since he is doing it all over
the country, it isn't unreason
able that the old gentleman
with the chin whisker should
provide a national monument
at historic Fort Clatsop.
YfJHAT does Senator Neu
' berger mean by "tin cup"
activities?
Let's cite one.
Oregon is in trouble with
its unemployment compen
sation reserve fund. For var-
ious reasons including too
many increases in benefits
without corresponding tax in-
creases to pay for them in the
pinches the fund has dropped
below the safety point. So the
tax must be increased sharp-
ly as much as NINE TIMES
m the case of certain em-
ployers.
Instead of facing up to it
as an Oregon responsibility,
Governor Holmes has trotted nize their government and im
to Washington for an interest- nosed uDon them the cold
free federal LOAN of some 14
million dollars. That, of
course, will put off the evil
day, but in the long run the
loan will
have to be paid
back.
TOLLERING for help from
Uncle Sam to save us from
the immediate consequences
of our own short-sightedness
is a reasonaDiy gooa example
of what Senator Neuberger
i 1
calls a "tin cup" policy on the
part of Oregon.

Challenges Drummond
To the Editor: I have writ
ten' the following letter to
Roscoe Drummond, concern
ing a recent column of his.
In your article in the Med
ford Mail Tribune of March
17, you made the statement
that the Russians started the
Korean War. After reading
every bit of evidence on which
I can lay hands, mv verdict
is that it was our own coun
try and our puppet ruler in
South Korea who started it.
The United Nations was in
veigled into action by our fi-
nancial power and the popu
lar allergy to Communism.
Yet, you expect the Soviet
Union to entrust their destiny
to such a prejudiced bunch.
If the case were reversed, we
i '
would never submit to such
handling of our domestic af
fairs. The cold war and the arma
ments race will continue until
our country is bankrupt f i-
nancially, morally, and spirit-
uaiiy, because the military
establishment and the arma
ments business is the biggest
financial racket known to
man. Mr. Dulles said that
Khrushchev's promotion
would make no difference. Of
course it won't, because the
'administration repr esenting
big business intends that such
big business should go on.
You seem not to have gone
very far in your science books
that teach there is a cause for
everything, or your Bible that
teaches that what a man sow-
eth he shall also reap. In the
first two years of the Russian
revolution when those people
-were fighting to rid them-
selves of the tyranny of the
czar, we invaded their land
and wrought death and de-
struction among them. Have
we repented of the wrong that
was done them and sought
their forgiveness? No, we re-
fused for 16 years to. recog-
war because our masters know
0ur frightened citizenry will
submit to almost any kind of
exDloitation if the fearful
state of mind is fostered in
them.
Can you honestly think that
installing top Nazis, their ar,ch
enemies, in key positions even
before the fall of Berlin cre
ated a feeling of confidence?
For that the NATO organiza
tion and rearmament of West
Germany was something to
convince them that a coven
ant was naught but a scrap
of paper?

About Schools
To the Editor:
This is writ-
an response to Dorothy
Wood's request in the Tribune
fr Apr. 8 for comments on
Roger Babson's article -in the
Tribune for Apr. 4.
Since I am probably the
nIy person in the valley who
has taught the full 12 months
tor more man one year, I can
speak from experience. The 12
months system was tried in
Bisbee, Ariz., in 1919, '20 ajjd
21. By the end of the third
year the teachers were worn
out, the pupils were worn out,
the parents were worn out,
and everyone hated the sys
tem, so it was discontinued.
No one in any way connected
with the Bisbee schools during
those years would ever advo
cate the 12-month system.
But as to eliminating the
frills, I heartily agree. A dan-

ment or in the foreign offices
of other allied countries ap
pears to have any real idea of
just what this apparently im
portant move means.
Even more important is the
policy to be pursued by Ga-
mal Adbel Nasser in his new
capacity of president of the
united Arab Republic of
Egypt and Syria.
The Saudi Arabian turn
over has been greeted as a
victory for Nasser over King
Saud, who has refused to rec
ognize Nasser as the leader of
the Arab world and has
shown leanings toward the
United States.

years, returned home. It was
reported that scholastically
they were behind their cou
sins who had remained in Eng
land. .
Furthermore, our schools
must take their share of the
blame for the fearful increase
in juvenile delinquency. From
the first grade on our chil
dren are taught to expect to
be entertained. This idea
reaches its culmination in a
high school pep fest for the
team. These are not condu
cive to scholarship. And it is
far more important to be a
football hero than to win in
an essay contest. Any effort
that has required wide read
ing and mental -ability gets
little recognition in the aver
age high school as compared
with the athletic hero. And it
sometimes happens that high
school athletics are conducted
ii such a way that teenagers
are actually taught to be dis
honest. Well do I remember
when a star athlete, out of
high school less than a year,
robbed a local restaurant in
order to obtain money so that
he and his girl friend could
elope. On the. morning of his
trial the math teacher remark
ed to the rest of us: "Suppose
it comes out this morning the
school's share in making
Roger what he is!"

To Shame Elders
To . the Editor: This is
the true story of four children
who this Easter walked five
miles to attend the sunrise
service at the Church in the
Pines.
The pastor was supposed
to pick the children up but
because of. the rain de
cided their parents 'probably
wouldn't let them come.
The sunrise service was at
6 a.m. and at 7 a.m. here
came the children, ages rang
ing from 11 to 9, Easter bon
nets all drooping, white Easter
shoes all muddy. One of the
girls had two big raw places
on the back of her heels where
her new Easter shoes had
worn big blisters and the boy
looked tired enough to drop.
Sorry to say they came too
late for the sunrise service,
but they came in time to eat.
The pastor cooked them a
eood rib sticking breakfast
and they all forgave him and
even pitched in and helped
him cook.
I wonder what adult today
would walk five miles in the
rain to attend a church ser
vice.
Maybe this will shame a
few who have been neglect
ing church and they will go
to the church of their choice.

We Never Close
Some reports say that
Crown Prince Faisal intends
to shift Saudi Arabian policy
toward close cooperation with
Nasser.
Other reports say that Saud
has not really given up any
power and that he will con
tinue cooperation with Iraq
and Jordan, which have
formed a federation as a coun
ter to Nasser's Arab Republic.
The State Department has
adopted a policy of determ-,
ined optimism in the Saudi'
Arabian situation. It may
well be right. Saud is a pow
erful and influential man. .
Nevertheless, the Washington
I attitude is reminiscent of the
boy whistling past the grave
yard.
To Visit Khrushchev
The latest development in
the Middle Eastern situation
is that Nasser is going to visit
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev late this month
while, at the same time, he is
negotiating for aid through
the World Bank for improv
ing the Suez Canal.
The one certain thing in the
present Middle Eastern situa
tion is that Nasser is doing
fine.
His successful t merger of
Egypt and Syria, and the
turnover of power in Saudi
Arabia whatever that may
really mean has greatly in
creased ' his prestige in the
Arab world.
Nasser seems to believe
that he can play off Russia
against the United States and
profit by his relations with
both countries.
