To Speak
Constitutional revision will
be discussed at the Medford
League of Women Voters
luncheon to be held at the
Jackson hotel Saturday, April
19 at 12:30 p.m.
State Senator Phillip B.
Lowry has been invited to be
guest speaker. Senator Lowry,
who represented Jackson
county in 1955-1957 and 1958
sessions of the legislature,
voted in favor of revision of
the Oregon Constitution when
it came before the legislature
in 1955.
No changes in the Oregon
constitution were made in the
years between 1857 and 1902,
it is pointed out. Between
Between 1902 and 1955, 92
amendments have been adopt
ed. By comparison the federal
constitution has been amend
ed only 22 times in the 160
years of its existence.
A five year study of the
problem has been made by
the league.
A short question and an
swer period will follow the
discussion. Mrs. Don Bohnert,

The Russians may not like our capitalists or our state
department, but they do seem to like our musicians. When
an American cast went to Russia to play "Porgy and Bess"
a few years back, the press reported that the production was
a big hit. Last winter Blanche Thebom,- popular American
opera star, gave a series of concerts in Russia and when she
came home, reported that the reception the Russians gave
her was very warm and applause heartier for the most
part than she ever receives here in the United States. .
But a young Texas pianist by the name of Van Cliburn
topped this when he played in the international T'schaikov
sky piano competition last week. The Russian audience gave
him an eight-minute ovation at the end of his selection and
demanded loudly that he be given the prize even though
two. finalists had not yet played: But the -judges, headed
by the famous Soviet pianist, Emil Gilels, did just that and
the comments which followed, if one can believe the reports
from many sources, was about as extravagant as a musician
could receive. He was called a genius and a wizard; one
Russian musician was quoted as saying "it was as though I
was hearing the piano for the first time." INS said Cliburn
displayed "dazzling technical skill and a robust emotional
style."
Even the great Khrushchev reportedly personally con
gratulated young Cliburn and invited him to a party. .
It seems a pity that the notes turned out by the President
and the state department don't result in the same warmth
in Moscow that the notes of the musicians do.
Potpourri learned something new about, foreign aid last
week while reading a copy of The Progressive. Chester
Bowles, in an article entitled "What Foreign Aid Can and
Cannot Do," analyzed this aid and said emphatically that
most Americans do not know what his money has gone
for in the past.
"Each year the White House has presented a budget for
'foreign aid,' in the neighborhood of S4 billion," he wrote.
"Most Americans have assumed that this money was largely
earmarked for such down-to-earth essentials aS plows, DDT,
fertilizer, pumps and other equipment necessary to help
struggling new nations ease the pressures of poverty and
create foundations for free societies.
"But this is a misconception. Each year 80 per cent of
our foreign aid program has gone directly or indirectly
for military purposes. We have been spending close to a
billion dollars annually, for instance, to maintain the South
Korean army. This is about twice the annual cost of our
entire global Point Four program. We have put $740 million
into military aid to South Vietnam in two years.
"A major share of the non-military aid, moreover, has
been given to three nations, France, South Korea and
Vietnam which together represent only four per cent of the
peoples of" the underdeveloped world."
Mr. Bowles began this highly interesting and informa
tive article by saying that "Unless the economic misery
of two-thirds of the world is eased, unless the gap between
the white Western world and the colored majority of man
kind begins gradually to be closed, the world will remain
two regions, one of the rich, one of the poor, and each
increasingly antagonistic to the other.
"Only as this economic gap diminishes will there be
orderly political growth in Asia, Africa and Latin America,
and only with such growth can we expect the Soviet Union
someday to abandon its global ambitions and to negotiate
soberly and in good faith for the creation of a meaningful
peace."
Later he said "Economic aid is not charity. It is essential
ly a tax on free men everywhere, naturally bearing most
heavily on the richest nation on earth, to promote the general
welfare of the world community as a primary requirement
of peace. . '
"Out of every federal tax dollar that we paid in 1957,
80 cents went for the cost of past wars or preparation for
possible future wars. The kind of constructive non-military
economic aid program? that I believe are required would
amount to much less than one per cent of our annual
national output. In 1958 the Soviet Union is spending twice
as much as we are on such programs not including the
sizeable aid she is giving China.
"The necessary American investment in the cause of
peace is infinitesimal when we compare it with the incalcul
able cost of war. It should be provided largely on a loan
basis, payable in large part in local currencies. Most of it
can be secured by cutting down some of our more wasteful
military aid grants, many of which have opened up such
tempting political opportunities for the Kremlin."
Potpourri ran back and forth, up and down and in and
out Wednesday afternoon; we got muddy and wet, tore a new
hair net, wore a hole in one sock and when the job was done,
looked and felt like a wreck. But it was really fun, for we
were gardening. There were pansies and violas and prim
roses and snapdragons to be planted. There was spading and
raking and pruning, and water to be poured on the new rose
bushes. Other creatures were busy, too. The bees hummed
away on the big golden clusters of Oregon grape blossoms,
and the finches flew back and forth with bits of material
for a nest. Every year Mr. and Mrs. Finch try to build a
nest under the little roof over the back steps, and every year
we have to discourage them and hope that they will set up
housekeeping nearby, and not desert us entirely.
There was a pause to greet, two neighbors, out for an
afternoon stroll, and to hear the wonderful news. Not to be
outdone by the swiftly growing grass, the budding flowers
and the busy bees, baby Denise ' produced her first tooth.

Spring Brings Conventions
And Stage Fright Seizures
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
Chapel Hill, N.C. (IP) It
is high time the researchers
worked a cure for a disease
which hits many of us this
time of the year. .
It is stage fright, an infec
tion almost as virulent as
spring fever.
For now is the season for
conventions, with every group
from the local garden club to
the national Daughters of the
American Revolution confer
ring. Conventions call for
speeches. That is why I came
to this beautiful college cam
pus to show off my oratory.
The North Carolina Women's
Institute, a lively organiza
tion of newspaper women
from . all parts of the state,
asked me to talk to them at
their spring meeting.
Nothing is so flattering as
being asked to make a speech.
Nor, so frightening.
The stage fright virus at
tacks me from the first day
I say, "Sure, I'd be delighted
to talk." This may be two or
three months before speech
time. The first attacks are
comparatively mild, but they
grow more intense as I start
planning what to say and then
remember "what others have
said about speech makers.
For instance. Speeches can
not be long enough for the
speakers, or short enough for
the hearers. Or, what Will
Rogers once observed, after
one orator had ended his talk,
"Gentlemen, you have just
listened to that Chines sage,
'On Too Long'."
Some Help
But large doses of reading
from books on how to win
friends and influence people
from the podium help tempo
rarily. So does remembering
from a college course that
public speaking is just like
conversation with friends.
Only you're having conversa
tion with an audience.
Writing down what I plan
to say also alleviates, until I
remember a story- the late
Sen. Alben W. Barkley once
told. He had used a manu
script, instead of notes, for a
talk. After he sat down, he
turned to a friend and asked,
"What do you think of it?
The answer, "Well, I have
only three criticisms. First,
you read it. Second, you read
it poorly. Third, it wasn't
worth reading."
This sort of battle with
one's self goes on until the
hour before time for the talk,
and then the panic really sets
in. Symptoms here are clam
my palms, a thumping heart,
shaky limbs, and the question,
. trill I"
cola with both . .
I "'What in the world got me
into this anyway?
The banquet feast of roast
beef with all the trimmin's
goes untouched. Then the !
toastmistress starts the intro-;
duction, and suddenly the
floor is yours.
Stand still. Look at the
audience. Take a few deep (
breaths," say the speech man-;
uals. "This tempers your ex-'
citement."
I got news for the manuals. !
it does not. ine paims are
still perspiring, the knees
sounding like castanets. But
there you are, with a sea of
faces in front of you, all of
them attentive. The first sen
tence gets out somehow. Then
the second, and pretty soon
you're full speed ahead. And
surprise! They're actually lis
tening. Limbs stop vibrating
like leaves in a breeze, the
moisture on the palms dries.
Suddenly it's all over and you
sit down.
That wasn't so bad after all.
Truth is, I rather enjoyed be
ing up there. And the applause
was flatteringly long.
Yep, the ham in me has
taken over. I just might ac
cept another speaking engage
ment, if somebody asks me.
