Hungarian refugee Koroly
Iaczali, 21, thought he had
hit on "the fastest way" to

with stealing his third car in

he wants to return to Hun

The Judicial Race
As everyone knows the government, like
Gaul, is divided into three pails, the executive,
the legislative and the judiciary.
They are all important. But the latter is the
most important for our freedoms, our personal
liberties, our lives ... the existence and perpetua
tion of a free democracy depend upon it. It is
really the corner-stone of the arch that supports
the true, as opposed to the phoney, conception,
of the "American way of life."
A S everyone also knows or should know on
Friday of this week judges will be selected
by the people of the state for the State Supreme
Court, the two Circuit Courts, and the District
Court in Jackson County.
Because the selections in the primary, in all
likelihood, will determine the outcome, the Mail
Tribune, will, as usual under such circumstances,
make its recommendations now instead of follow
ing its usual practice of leaving primary selec
tions, unless some vital issue is involved, up to
the members of the parties concerned.
'"THIS has been an unusually active and pestifer-
ous campaign, especially the local Circuit
Court race, although the congest between Justice
Kossman, and Attorney Jason Lee, for the Su
preme Court, has not been exactly an 18th-century
minuet.
S before remarked we deplore the preponder-
nnfp nf rtpnt nvpr lirrht in lnrHrinl rnnt.psrs
but while the ballot is officially designated "non
partisan," there ha3 been, locally at least, little
non-partisanship and a great deal of politics,
more personal than strictly partisan, but even the
latter has not been entirely overlooked.
This is unfortunate, but so long as judges are
elected instead of appointed, we fear it can't be
helped. . '
LJOWEVER, as to our recommendations:
With the great importance of a high type
of judiciaiy personnel, national, state and local
in mind, .we recommend the selection as they
appear on the ballot of :
1. Supreme Court, GORDON SLOAN, No.
37, for position No. 3, (present incumbent).
2. Justice ROSSMAN No. 39, for position
No. 7, (present incumbent).
3. For Circuit Court position No. 1, JAMES
M. MAIN (42).
4. For Circuit Court Position, No. 3, ED
WARD C. KELLY, 43, (incumbent).
For District Judge, E. Roy Bashaw has no
competition.
IT WILL be noted that all those recommended
are incumbents except Mr. Main, and he has
had some judicial experience.
In the judgment of this paper, to have' been
tried as a judge in a major OR minor capacity,
and not have been found wanting, is an extremely
strong .recommendation
For while their opponents naturally, all claim
they would be as good or
how do they, or anyone
have been tried out :
The answer is they DON'T.
TN SHORT, in the judiciary, as in no other de-
partment of government is actual and accept
able experience so important, and the validity of
the old saying "the proof of the pudding is in the
eating" so sound.
Messers. Sloan, Rossman, Main and Kelly,
all but Rossman for brief periods, have been
tried in day-to-day judiciary procedure, and we
doubt if even their enemies would claim they
have been found wanting. They have, in short,
made good.
AND THJS leads, naturally, to the most import-
ant consideration of all as far as the judiciary
is concerned, and that is temperament we mean
of course, JUDICIAL temperament.
Some may prefer to call it character.
But in any large measure in the genus homo,
it is almost as rare as it is essential.
It is based upon an INATE, INBORN sense of
fair-play and justice ; an ability to detach oneself
emotionally from all questions that arise, reject
all preconceptions and. personal prejudices, and
rule STRICTLY according to the law with, of
course, a proper regard for circumstances,
humanity and equity.
"117E HAVE known many judges through the
years. We have known VERY few who ap
proached perfection in this important regard
and we don't claim any of the above individuals
DO. BUT we do claim they excel their opponents
in this veiy vital respect,- and this has been an
important factor in our decisions with, we believe,
ample evidence to support them.
Finally a comprehensive knowiedge of the
law is important.
A judge who doesn't KNOW the law certainly
can hardly support or interpret it. And a judge
wrho can't support or interpret the law better seek
to make a living somewhere else than on the
bench.
All the candidates being lawyers, they of
course all knowT something about the law.
But as a result of some research we believe,
as in other fields so in this, Messers. Sloan, Ross
man, Main and Kelly, excel their opponents and
should be elected. -

Matter of Fact
McELROY'S ARGUMENT
Washington In a quiet
talk the other day, Secretary
of Defense Neil McElroy made
WSJ made the best
argument that
has yet been
heard for his
highly contro
versial bill re
organizing his
vast depart
ment. -
"I can't see
any thing
.
Joseph Aisop a n e a a, ne
said, "but an increasing
American defense effort, un
less there is a pretty sharp
and unexpected change in the
wprld 'picture. The greatest
economy, the greatest efficient
cy, win not Keep costs irom
going up as the effort in
creases. So it's only common
sense to try to get a hundred
cents worth of fighting power
for every dollar we lay out."
This is a sort of talk very
different from the talk of the
other great reorganizers ' the
E i s e n h ower administration
has recruited from the ranks
of big business. Under McEl
roy's predecessor, Charles E.
Wilson, the unit cost of Amer
ican defense rose enormously
while spending dropped. The
alleged "economics" caused
a catastrophic decline in
America's relative strength.
And Wilson just went on re
peating fatuously, "the Rus
sians aren't 10 feet high." ,
.
WILSON, one finally had to
conclude, would not have
understood the harsh facts of
the world power, balance,
even if he had been ordered
to study . them carefully by
Harlow ' Curtice or Alfred
Sloan. In contrast, a really
powerful intelligence was
part of the remarkable equip
ment of Wilson's real master
in government, former Secre
tary of the Treasury George
M. Humphrey. But Humphrey
just did not believe anything
that was not told him by an
industrialist of a rank equal
to his own, and this limited
his intake of world-strategic
facts.
McElroy came to govern
ment with no greater prepara
tions than Humphrey or Wil
son. Yet McElroy has already
understood and faced up to
the two grim, central facts
that the others always refused
to face. He has realized that
tlie Soviet system has its own
terrible kind of efficiency, as
a brutal machine for increas
ing the brute power of the
state. And he has realized it
is unsafe not to match increas
ing Soviet power with increas
ing American power.
"fTHDDAY we may be about in
balance," he says earnest
ly. "But I'm terribly con
cerned about tomorrow. Real
ly, there are only two alter
natives increased effort on
our part or decreased effort on
the Soviet's part. Maybe the
Soviet leaders will decide
they have to give more to
their own people, which will
mean less for heavy industry
and arms. But I doubt it very
much. If they don't make this
decision, then we are going to
have to choose between ac
cepting a position of danger
ous. inferiority,, or pulling in
our belts and intensifying our
own effort.
"It's a contest between two
different kinds of social or
ganization, one . organized for
the welfare of the individual,
and the other wholly organ
ized to strengthen the -state.
Thank God, our system got
there first; so we've had, a
margin. But at least on their
chosen ground, the challenge
of the -other system is now
very serious. It's an interest
ing contesf--or rather . it
would be, if we weren't in
volved in it so completely. In
teresting is hardly . the word
when you're playing, for
keeps." . ......... : , c.:

tious man who left a big job
and a comfortable life for a
small Washington apartment
and the almost unbearable
burden of the defense depart

enough, although he can be
sardonically humorous. He
claims no miraculous results
for his defense-reorganization
bill, saying flatly that the
value of any reorganization
"depends on the people you
get to fill the slots." But un

By FRANK
At a reception at the Czech
oslovakian embassy in Mos
cow recently," Soviet Premier
Krushchev was talking to an
informal group about Russia's
drive to build up her indus
trial economy. In his charac
teristic off - the-cuff manner,
he remarked that if necessary
Russia will turn to the capi
talistic West for what she
needs in that line.
What he was doing was but-
t e r i n g up Czechoslovakia,
which is a highly industrial
ized area, but he went on
breezily to call for greater
placement of orders for indus
trial plants from West Ger
many, ' Britain and "THE
UNITED STATES.'
' He said Russia is willing to
employ foreign, scientists to
help her increase her indus
trial output. He intimated
that he is willing to buy and
buy and buy from abroad as
well as to sell and sell and
sell to countries that would
like to build up trade with
Russia.
T"OES he mean it?
U It's hard to say.
But how about calling his
bluff? How about saying to
him:
"OK, sir, how about sell
ing to us such of the products
of your country as we need
and can use? In turn, we'll
sell to you if you can get
the hard money to pay for it
with large quantities of the
FOOD which we, have in
abundance but which you
don't seem to be able to pro
duce in sufficient quantity to
meet the needs and the wants
of your people?"
TUT
You may say-
That would be bad for us.
I'm foolish enough to think
it wouldn't be bad for us.
Trade is a great civilizer as
long as it is straight, honest
trade based upon economic
needs of both the buyer and
the seller. ...
INHERE is bad trade, of
X
course. UNWISE trade.
For example:
When unscrupulous Ameri
cans, intent oniy on turning
a fast buck for themselves,
traded repeating rifles to the
Western Indians' for buff alo
robes, they were bidding for
trouble. If they had been
trading cooking utensils and
corn grinders and hammers
and saws .to build -better
houses with" for the buffalo
robes,: it would have been
different. Commerce of that
sort might have made it pos
sible for the red man and the
white man to learn how to
LIVE TOGETHER in peace.
It would obviously be un
wise and uneconomic for us to
sell , hydrogen bombs to the
communist Russians. But I
can't help thinking it would
be good business for us to
trade peaceful commodities of

Wants a Courtesy Week
To the Editor: As a deliv
ery man of a local business
who daily drives the business
district of Medford as well as
the suburb, I have, and take,
a deep interest in the driving
and traffic problems of Med
ford. Enough at least to at
tempt to point out a few
things that seem to badly need
fense with modern weapons,
we've got to have a defense
based on clear, uncomplicated
lines of command and clear,
uncomplicated authority for
over-all planning and pro
gramming. Those are the prin
ciples. As I told Chairman
Vinson, I will take any legis
lative language that embodies
those principles. But I can't
compromise on those princi
ples, because I'm sure that
any compromise will handi
cap us badly in the tough con
test we have ahead."
There is another thing, too,
that marks off Neil McElroy
from his predecessors. They
came to Washington in 1952
with an almost God-given con
viction that they were ideally
equipped to "clean up the
mess." McElroy instead re
marks ruefully that he has
had "an intensive education in
government in these last
months; but it's still regret
table that in our government
we.'bring men into top jobs,
with pretty stiff burdens of
responsibility, and with no
time to learn about the jobs
first. I'll be learning for a
long time yet."
Altogether, with reasonable
humility thus added to his oth
er qualities', the recruit from
the soap business is a confidence-producing
new figure

A COLLIE DOG was
cleared in Columbus (Ohio)
yesterday of the "murder" of
a 3V& pound Chihauhau be
cause of lack of evidence.
Common Pleas Judge Wilbur
Shull dismissed the case
(which had been brought for
mally in his court) because he
was hot convinced beyond a
reasonable doubt that the ac
cused 'Collie was guilty.
Miss Bertha Stephens
brought the murder charge
against the canine suspect.
She said she saw the Collie
leave her property before she
found her Chihauhau, Cisco,
mortally wounded.
She lost her case because
she couldn't make positive
idenification of the Collie.
HMMMMM. I'm a layman,
not a lawyer; But I'd like
to raise a technical point.
The constitution of the
United States provides that
every "person" accused of a
crime shall have the right to
be tried by an impartial jury
of his PEERS in the district
where the crime was commit
ted. Suppose ' the Collie had
been convicted. Suppose he
had appealed on the ground
that he wasn't tried by a jury
of his peers. A jury of his
peers would obviously be a
jury composed of Collie dogs.
If we're going to have dog
juries, where will we go next?
At any rate, I want to
thank Judge Shull for quash
ing the case before it got any
farther. We have tommyrot
enough as it is.

attention by those whose duty
it is to do something about
them.
As individuals the mem
bers of the city police force
are, on the whole, friendly
and courteous; and carry out
their duties as best they can.
However there seems to be a
lack of policy or planning as
to. what their duties are, or
else a laxity in enforcing
them.
As an example, one daily
sees car after car, especially
on Saturday afternoons when
traffic is heaviest, flagrantly
and deliberately make a right
hand turn against the lighted
neon light that plainly says
"No right turn" at the inter
section of East Sixth street
and North Central ave, thus
holding up a long' line of traf
fic behind them. They attempt
to force the pedestrians in the
cross walk to give ground,
even when the sign is pointed
out to them. Yet I have yet to
see a single policeman give
one of these discourteous driv
ers so much as a warning
while a block or so away they
will be busily writing out me
ter violations on some unfor
tunate driver who forgot to
put an extra penny in the me
ter while shopping.
One gets the impression
that their sole assigned duty
is to write out meter tickets.
It would seem to me that if
one policeman was assigned
to spend a few hours on Sat
urday afternoons to just stand
on that particular corner and
enforce what the "No right
turn" sign says, a little re
spect might be gained' by a
few local individuals for our
traffic laws; (such as the one
I observed only yesterday go
ing through the 20 mile limit
speed zone in front of the Oak
Grove- school at better than
50 miles an hour, while school
children in front of the school
ran and played on both sides
of the highway.) If that par
ticular "No right turn" sign
is not to be enforced, then
feel it would be better re
moved entirely.
I would also say that a stop
sign is badly needed at the
blind intersection on the
northeast corner of East Main
and Modoc st, as well as the
intersections of Bartlett and
Fifth sts. having observed a
good number of collisions
there; and while much has
been said about this latter in
tersection , to date, nothing
has ever been done about it.
In general if Medford would
sponsor a Traffic Courtesy
Week, it would be good
thing. t -

Approves Cemetery Action
To the Editor: It was inter
esting to read the results of
the statewide secret Bar Asso
ciation poll for this Judicial
District, particularly the one
on Position No. 3, now presid
ed over by Judge Edward C.
Kelly.
' The poll showed 73 votes
for Judge Kelly as against 8
for his opponent. To my mind
this must mean that Judge
Kelly-has the confidence of
the practicing attorneys
throughout Josephine and
Jackson counties, who should
be in a better position than
anyone else to evaluate the
training and qualities neces
sary for a judgeship. .
Aside from the legal point
of view, however, hundreds of
us in Southern Oregon have
known Judge Kelly for many
years, for he grew up here.
We have known him in his
capacity as judge, as an attor
ney with a wide and highly
varied legal practice, but best
of all, as a warm and kindly
human being.
I was very favorably im
pressed by the manner in
which Judge Kelly disposed
of the case concerning the ju
veniles' destruction in the Old
Jacksonville cemetery. To me
it seemed a very wise and
just decision.

non partisan practice in se
lecting her assistants, and her
far-seeing plans for the fu-j
ture of the office, regardless
of how the election may af
fect her personally.
She had modernized the of
fice by installing a bookkeep
ing machine and modern fil
ing system in the auditing de
partment, which makes it
possible for one efficient and
experienced deputy to carry
on au tne auditing and pay
roll work of the county.
A Verifax copying machine
installed in the legal depart
ment takes the place of one
deputy in furnishing the in
numerable copies of instru
ments required by the public,
and a duplicating machine
saves expense in many print
ed forms required. They may
be used by any other office
in the building. k,
The election department
has been furnished with an
addressograph which saves
time in writing up poll books
and innumerable lists required
in the preparation for elec
tion?, mailing lists for the
Health Department, and au

censes are made on this ma
chine.
As all recording of deeds,
mortgages, in fact all record
ing for the entire office, is
done by photographing the
instruments,' Mrs. Hopkins
has modernized the dark room
where this work is accom
plished, thus saving invalu
able time in this department.
The county clerk is also
clerk of the district court,
and this office has been re
organized with modern book-
keeDing and filing methods.
Mrs. Hopkins has proven
herself a real leader, and has
shown unfailing ; thoughtful-
ness for her corps of assist
ants, has a keen penetrating
judgment of human nature
and the courage to express
her convictions, all of which
are invaluable attributes of a
public official.
She is also an untiring
worker, a close student of the
law, does all of the purchas
ing for the office with care
and economy, and requires
that there be no unnecessary
waste in the use of materials.
She has respect for the rec-
cords entrusted to the care of
the county clerk.
Visiting officers from other
Oregon counties have admired
the arrangement and modern
machines, and have character
ized it as one of the best equip
ped clerk's offices in the state,
which is proof of Mrs. Hop
kins' vision, and the coopera
tion of a progressive minded

cause of its stupidity, is hard
to answer; however I would
like to ask Mr. Collins if he
thinks that Mr. Nunley is try
ing to deprive Billy Junior
Nunn of his constitutional
rights and liberties by asking
that the death penalty be en
forced for the depraved, bru
tal attack and murder of a
young innocent boy? Does Mr.
Collins believe that Hugh
D'Autremont is being denied
his constitutional liberties by
being kept in prison for his
part in wholesale murder? Is
Mr. Collins trying to tell us
poor laymen that Judge Kelly
was protecting the constitu

by turning him loose to prey
on society a man who plead
