Rice Mountain Lodge, N.Y., May 24 We certainly miss
the Rogue climate. It feels like snow tonight and perhaps a
blizzard, for the wind is blowing directly from Hudson's bay
at around 50 miles an hour. Quite a contrast to a year ago at
this time when the tourists were starting to arrive. No tour
ists this sort of weather the fishing season has opened but
no fishermen. Maria's papa caught a couple of trout yester
day after he returned from work but he has a lake all his
own. We could catch a trout in our own lake or we would
sell the lake to someone who could. Perhaps tomorrow we
can fish through the ice!
Speaking of fishing it is very different here from what
it used to be at Lauderdale lake, Wisconsin. In the Gay
Ninties the No. 1 game-fish was the black-bass, small mouth
and big. The pike and pickerel were better eating but they
stuck around in the deep water, while the bass were usually
under the lily-pads near shore. And when they struck
whang! everyone including the bait knew it.
But when son-in-law caught a bass in the lake the other
night he was horrified. For bass have a yen for small lake
trout as they used to have for Wisconsin chubs and shiners.
A few black-bass can clear a small lake of trout in a very
short time, so an anti-bass campaign has started.
The air-mail from Medford has arrived in good time,
some in 48 hours, but the Mail Tribune coming by regular
mail has not arrived yet. This is Friday and last Sunday's
paper is still somewhere en route as a result the exact re
sults of the primary are still in doubt. We assume except for
the District Judge the judicial races came out as the MT
recommended.
Sorry to learn that Harold Stassen was so badly beaten
by the Pennsylvania Pretzel King in the race for the guber
natorial nomination, but that was the outcome all the experts
predicted. As before remarked this will mean the end of
Stassen's political career for a fong.time, but probably not
forever. He is a persistent and stubborn Scandinavian, never
backward about coming forward, and is comparatively
speaking a young man. He says he will practice law in
Philadelphia and still "take an active interest" in GOP
politics. This defeat may save the former Minnesotan some
time and money, for in all likelihood Mr. McGonigle, the
Pretzel millionaire, will go down to defeat at the capable
hands of Mayor David Lawrence, Democrat of Pittsburgh, in
November.
"
What little news comes in from France can't be depended
upon for a strict censorship has been established. Our guess
(fathered by the hope) is that De Gaulle will not stage his
"return from Elba" and the Fourth Republic (under a new
government, perhaps) will carry on until the next crisis.
Crises in France are about as frequent as showers are in New
York state this season. '
All doubt has been removed that the undersigned is en
joying EITHER a second-blooming or second-childhood. It
seems the oldest of the grandchildren is just recovering from
measles and now No. 2 is down with it. The family doctor
came over to the "farm" to see them and gave the other
two (aged 18 months and five weeks), shots also. This seemed
ridiculous but of course Grandpappy ISN'T the doctor. He
did express his minority report to the young MD, however,
and quipped "the next thing I suppose you will want to
inoculate me."
"How old are you?" asked the doctor in his coldest pro
fessional manner. We told him.
"Well," said the doctor, "I would advise you not to take
a chance. One of my- children had measles a few months
ago and I inoculated the other two. I overlooked my grand
mother, who is 94. The next morning she came down with
a terrific case, red as a lobster, including the eye lids. She
recovered, but it was a close squeak." '
As bad luck would have it, the rest of the family (only
one male included and he asleep) overheard the conversation
and you know the answer! Your correspondent has one arm
in a sling as this is being written on the Smith-Corona via
time-honored "pick and peck" technique.
Yes, we surrendered just
always thinking of ourselves,
no shot-in-the-arm changed the
doubt whatever that had we not, at a BILLION-to-one-shot,
struck an MD with a 94-year-old freak for a grandmother,
the verdict would have been exactly the reverse. (How
about it D. I.?).
As far as climate is concerned Tucson, Arizona, and
Saranac, New York are as far apart as the poles. But medi
cally they have had similar experiences as far as TB is con
cerned. Forty or 50 years ago victims of this disease were
sent by the thousands to these two places for treatment and
many cures. Then according to local lore one of the most
famous "TB" specialists in the country, who with scores
of his contemporaries had established a large and for
years very prosperous sanitarium at Saranac Lake decided
"TB" could be as successfully treated at home as in Arizona
or Upper New York. That was the blow that killed the goose
that laid the golden eggs here, but thanks to the climate
and the tourist trade, it failed to stop the sensational growth
of Tucson and Phoenix.
Motored over to Saranac this afternoon for a bit of shop
ping and to mail some letters. Had a brief talk with a clerk
in one of the drug stores. Like the taxi-man in Utica he was
very pessimistic about business conditions in spite of Mr.
Eisenhower's "unprecedented prosperity."
The taxi-man said the textile industry, one of the major
sources of income there, had practically quit and moved
south, while the factories (largely electrical appliances) only
worked three days a week, and were chock full of inventor
ies. He was convinced the next census would show a marked
drop in population Iti Utica.
The drug-clerk feared the same result as far as population
is concerned. But his chief concern seemed to be Woolworth
had closed out and moved away. He said Woolworth only
moved away from a chosen site when the town failed to
grow or had started to go down hill. We noted that the A&P
and Newberry's were still going (strong, apparently,) but
that did not seem to cheer him noticably.
Exactly 50 years ago in 1908 a terrific forest fire
destroyed the timber in this area covering 60,000 acres. No
sign of it today. In fact it takes a pine tree about half a cen
tury to mature, which accounts for the rehabilitation. Even
so the forest looks skimpy and rather forlorn compared to
those around Medford and Southern Oregon. A factor must
be the shallow and sandy soil. The banks along the paved
highway show no signs of dark or even light brown or red
rish loam, solid sand and gravel banks mile after mile. Not
far away, however, particularly to the north, there are some
very prosperous looking farms. We wager there isn't one in
a hundred without large and impressive looking TV antennae.
Speaking of "TV" most of the sports programs here come
via Montreal and as previously remarked in this column,
we skip most of TV except sports. Last Wednesday there was
a fairly good light heavyweight go between the champion of
France and England, and some promising and very tough
fisherman from New Foundland. The latter won by sheer
brute strength and ignorance. As usual we were rooting for
the under-dog, outweighed and sporting of all things a
handle-bar mustache!! Too bad K-B-E-S misses the Wednes
day night fights. They are almost always good perhaps
under the new dispensation they will get them.

An Earthquake Needed?
To the Editor: I have no de
sire to boast as an "I Told
You So" with a slight exag
gerated ego. But the gospel
truth is that 21 years ago I
visited a slaughter house and
the cruelty I observed forced
me to think deeply. "Why
should I, as a Christian, do
something which is the direct
cause of this terrible cruelty,"
and from that . time to date,
no meat has. entered my
mouth. (21, years).
I am 78, I look, feel and
function 25 years less. Person
ally, I cannot visualize how
we can call ourselves Christ
ians and continue to do that
(eating meat) which is the di
rect cause of all meat animal
cruelty. About 7 million de
fenseless meat animals are1
brutally slaughtered each
work day. The worsf mass
cruelty the world has ' ever
known. Now, can you and
will you as Christians of
God stop eating meat for 30
days? For the purpose of forc
ing all packers to kill hu
manely and painlessly. If your
first 30 days does not have
the desired effect, try 60 days
next. You will force the pack
ers to kill humanely as sure
as you are born. This is posi
tive success.
The Senate has stalled for
three months on passing the
Humane Bill. What are they
waiting far an earthquake
to wake them up? " ,

THIS EAR ANO YOU See
Only a few days ago, there
were indications that Tito
might be drummed out of the
world Communist movement
because he persisted in his re
fusal to conform to the party
line that is, to put himself
again under Kremlin domina
tion. Tito Receives Greetings
But now Khrushchev has
sent Tito a surprisingly
friendly message of congrat
ulation on his 66th birthday.
"... Accept my cordial con
gratulations and wishes for
happiness and the flourishing
of the brotherly Yugoslav
people," Khrushchev said.
"I express the hope that ex
isting misunderstandings be
tween the Communist league
of Yugoslavia and the Com
munist party of the Soviet
Union and other fraternal
parties, which are not secret,
will be overcome."
It was Khrushchev who
patched up party relations
between Russia and Yugosla
via after Josef Stalin's death,
v Khrushchev made an fum
ble pilgrimage to Belgrade
and told Tito that Stalin was
to blame for ostracizing him
because he revolted against
Kremlin domination.
But the "Stalinists" in the
party leadership those who
feared Khrushchev's attempt
to liberalize conditions in the
Soviet Union and its satel
lites never really accepted
that action.
Blamed Lack of Discipline
To them, Tito's revolt was
unforgivable. They wanted no
independents in the Commu
nist movement." From their
viewpoint, they were right
The revolts in Poland and
Hungary, and the general
loosening of discipline in all
Communist countries which
followed Khrushchev's liber
alization campaign showed
how dangerous a relaxation
of Red dictatorship can be.
The latest Tito-Kremlin
feud broke out in April when
the Yugoslav Communists
proclaimed a party platform
emphasizing Tito's determi
nation to keep his independ
ence. Savage attacks were made
on Tito by the leaders of
Communist countries. There
was talk that Russia might
end all economic aid to Yugo-

San Francisco, where this
is written, is changing as is
all the West. The change, in
part, is due to the rapidly ris

transfiguring the West as a
whole, shrinking down the

the cities.
In other part, it is due to
the fabulous change that has
been wrought in all of
America by the automobile,
which make it possible for
Americans todo their living
miles and miles and miles
from where they do their
working. This change isn't
confined to the West: It is go

PROTECTIONISM
RUN WILD
Workers are idle in the Pa
cific Northwest because Japan
has reduced its exports of
hardwood plywood to the
United States. Producers of
decorative' panels and doors
report they have had to cur
tail operations because they
cannot obtain enough suitable
material. At the same time
Congress has before it bills
seeking to cut supplies of this
material imported hardwood
plywood by imposing import
quotas.
This is a good example of
how an effort to protect one
group of American producers
from foreign competition dam
ages other American produc
ers. Japan reduced its exports
to forestall a possible increase
of the American tariff, now
set . at 20 percent. Such an in
crease was denied by the Tar
iff Commission after thorough
investigation. But agitation
for for cutting imports has
continued.
s It is also an example of fa
miliar protectionist tactics.
For the impression is con
veyed that the whole Ameri
can plywood industry is in
peril. Actually it has been ex
panding at a rapid rate. More
over, the great part of it
softwood plywood is used
for entirely different purposes
and is not touched by hard
wood imports. Imports are
competitive with a small frac
tion of the American business
domestic hardwood . p 1 y
wood but in the sense that
Volkswagens compete with
Cadillacs.
Another too familiar fea
ture of this protectionist drive
has been scare stories. One
had it that 28 plywood plants
had been shut down following
failure to get Tariff Commis
sion help. A careful check
showed 9 still operating, 3 de
stroyed by fire, 3 never exist
ed, 4 had been consolidated
with other operations and pro
duction increased; others had
closed because timber supplies
were depleted or because of
labor trouble or lack of
capital.
Yet the facts have not yet
caught up with some people
taken in by such stories. The
plywood case may be an ex
treme one. But Congressmen
who tend to be stampeded
into opposition to the recipro
cal trade program would do
well to examine other protec
tionist pleas for similar
fallacies. Christian Science

stores and carried them home
in a paper bag. They either
walked to work or came down
town in the street car.
Now they live in suburbs
all the way from Santa Rosa
in the north of San Jose in
the south and fight their way
in to the city over freeways
crammed with whizzing,
whirling, fender-banging traf
fic, and they buy their gro
ceries out near where they
live.
ALONG with the automo
bile and the freeway and
the overflowing parking lot
has come the five-day week
which perhaps, is changing
what up in the State of Jef
ferson we call "The City" as
much as all the other influ
ences put together.
There was a time when in
San Francisco, as out in the
sticks, Saturday night was
Binge Night. Not any more.
In all but the retail places, the
doors are closed at 5 o'clock
on Friday. When comes that
magic hour, the factories, the
wholesale establishments and
the offices shut up shop and
the occupants thereof stream
out of the town for a bit of
relaxation.
The net result of it all is
that the entertainment spots
are crammed until the walls
bulge on Friday night. The
reason for the change in binge
nights is that when the sub
urbanites get home to their
lawns and their gardens and
their week-end accumulation
of do-it-yourself chores they're
much to weary come Satur
day night' to dress up and go
out for a night on the town.
So ... in the Big Towns . . .
Saturday night is coming to
be almost Quiet Night.
SO MUCH for the fluffier
side of life.
There are changes also in
the business side of San Fran
Cisco's life.
They are SIGNIFICANT
changes.
UOR example:
In the first three-quarters
of a century of its existence,
the life of the city of
San Francisco centered
around the fantastically won
derful PORT of San Francis
co. To the Great Bay came the
ships of all nations. Here they
could lie safe at Anchor while
they discharged the cargoes
they had brought and took
on the cargoes they were to
take away.
The cargoes they took away
in those days were basically
RAW MATERIALS h ides,
grain, timber, etc. The cargoes
they BROUGHT BACK were
finished products.
That is to say:
Those were the days when
the West was in effect a
COLONIAL DEPENDENCY.
It sold raw materials at low
prices and 'bought back fin
ished products at high prices.
Its selling prices were low
and its buying prices were
high because it had to PAY
THE FREIGHT BOTH WAYS.
THOSE days are past.
The west now has a bal
anced economy of its own.
San Francisco bay is now
ringed by factories that use
the raw materials of the
eleven Western States, and
sell their products in the elev
en Western states. The clus
tered millions that live
around the bay provide mar
kets for Southern Oregon and
Far Northern California.
A new economic day is
dawning in the Far West.

Truman-Stevenson

Lnj
tyle C. VilMi m nicago Dy
Adlai E. Stevenson.
In it, Stevenson seemed to
be trying to make amends for
the slights, and indignities
which Truman thinks he suf
fered at Stevenson's hands in
the 1952 presidential cam
paign. That was the year Tru
man hand-picked Stevenson to
be the Democratic president
ial nominee, and what hap
pened? . What happened is set down
in plain words in the second
volume of Truman's memoirs.
There are paragraphs of real
praise for Stevenson in that
book, and for some of his cam
paign performance. The praise
goes flat, however, under
pressure of other Truman
paragraphs of which these
two are a sample: - ,
"But, Stevenson's attitude
toward the President (Tru
man) whom he hoped to suc
ceed was a mystery to me for
some time, and I believe Ste
venson made several mistakes.
Whether this was due .to- the
urgings of his advisers or bad
information or perhaps to the
contagion other good citizens
were suffering as a result of
reading the anti-Democratic
press, I do not know.
First Mistake
"The first mistake he made
was to fire the chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee (Frank E. McKinney of
Indiana whom Truman had
put in that job) and to move
his campaign headquarters to
Springfield, 111., giving the im
pression that he was seeking
to disassociate himself from
the administration in Wash
ington and, perhaps, from me.
How Stevenson hoped he
could .persuade the American
voters to maintain the Demo
cratic party in power while
seeming to disown powerful
elements of it, I do not know."
There was more, adding up
to evidence that Truman felt
that Stevenson was brushing
off the Truman administra
tion as unfit and unclean. Tru
man also faulted Stevenson
for failing to cooperate with
thfc big city Democratic ma
chines for a slip of the
tongue in which Stevenson
had referred to "that mess in
Washington!"

The then president felt that
Stevenson had failed to come
out fighting against Richard
M. Nixon's 1952 campaign
charge that the Truman ad
ministration was soft on Com
munism. That must have hurt
Stevenson's powerful sponsor.
as much as the manner in
which the nominee waved the
President out of the campaign
picture.
Pro And Con
Averill Harriman. in 1952,
was the only 100 per cent I-love-Truman
candidate among
the Democrats. But Truman
would have none of him in
1952. Four years later Tru
man shell-shocked the 1956
Democratic national conven
tion with a Harriman-for-president
effort designed basi
cally as a stop-Stevenson
movement. He might have
gotten away with it, too, but
for the political maneuvering
of AFL-CIO's Walter P.
Reuther who practically
single-handed broke the 1956
convention deadlock in Ste
venson's favor.
Perhaps Stevenson was
thinking of all that in Chicago
last week when he went out
of his way in a speech to pay
the highest kind of tribute to
Truman's presidency.
Perhaps, even, Stevenson is
thinking about 1960 and a
third presidential nomination.
Stranger things have hap
pened. And if Stevenson has such
a thing in jnind it would be
good for him now and here
after and continuously to
speak well of Harry S. Tru
man. HEED MONEY?
