De Gaulle's Assertion of Top
Authority
By CHARLES M. McCANN
UPI Foreign News Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance
sheet:
Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
France's new premier, struck
back this week against a
challenge to
his authority
by right-wing
extremists.
The extrem
ists are mem
bers of the so
called Commit
tee of Public
Safety in Al
geria, where
the y engi
Charles M.

neered the army revolt that
put De Gaulle in power.

Train Scheduling
To the Editor: As one of
many who are often seriously
inconvenienced by the timing
of the passage of log trains
on the Medco tracks on the
North Pacific Highway, I
would like to publicly suggest
some plan be made to. sched
ule these train crossings at
other than peak traffic pe
riods.
On Wednesday afternoon,
at the peak of 5 o'clock traf
fic, a derailed Medco train
on that crossing backed up
traffic for many blocks in
both directions, and incoming
employed persons are con
sistently delayed during the
to 8 o'clock morning pe
riod. .
Surely it would not be too
serious a problem to schedule
these crossings at times when
traffic is a bit less congested,
with a resultant minimum of
confusion and inconvenience.
I have debated long on the
presentation of this subject,
for since I am only one of
hundreds who are affected, I
feel it should be presented
publicly and one little voice
carries so little weight. How
ever, I do not present it in an
antagonistic spirit, but as an
idea deemed worth considera
tion for better public relations
for one of our major indus
tries.

Terminology Challenged
To the Editor: Being a reg
ular subscriber I enclose two
clippings from your paper.
One, from page 13 Friday,
May 23, 1958, referred to Dr.
Lemley as an osteopathic
physician'and surgeon and to
me as an osteopath. The sec
ond clipping is from page 1
of June 2, 1958 referring to
Dr. HowaM as an osteopath.
The allopathic profession is
licensed in medicine and sur
gery only and are correctly
referred to as physicians and
surgeons.
The osteopathic profession
is licensed in medicine, sur
gery and osteopathy, having
had training in and having
been examined' inall tnree
divisions of therapyT" -
The term osteopathic phy
sician and surgeon is correct.
The term osteopath is ante
dated and incorrect. , :
If there is any doubt about
it, try referring to every allo
pathic physician and surgeon
as an allopath and see how
far you get with them. .
Why not bring your termi
nology up to date and at the
same time be- correct?

Silver Ore
To the Editor: There was
never a truer saying, "Gold is
where you find it." The idea
that all the quartz gold has
been mined out is not true,
according to present day au
thorities. Around the year 1911 a man
from Medford during hunting
season picked up a piece of
high grade ore in the vicinity
of Grey Rock mountain near
the Douglas county line. A
year or so later a hewed out
water trough from a tree
trunk was reported discovered
nearby. That all points to the
same locality where the Klam
ath Indians were supposed to
have found some high grade
silver ore in 1914.
One of the chief reasons
given for lack of time devoted
to prospecting was that it took
an unlimited sized "grub
stake" to determine results,
and most of the early day
searchers were on what ' is
termed "a shoe string" budget.

history of the blood program

On behalf of the Red Cross

Washington Report
By William S. White
COMPACT OF
COMPETENCE
Washington The life of the
Southern - Democrats within
their party in Congress is,
and has been
for two dec
ades, largely
a lonely and
negative one.
Nearly always
they are in a
defensive, no
saying posi
tion against
the Northern
wiitem s. white D e m o c rats.
Nearly always they are seen
as clinging to the past against
the demands of the present.
And sometimes they are al
lied by political necessity

cans.
Such a time of temporary
liberation a rare and poig
nantly welcomed opportunity
to be the spokesmen "for"

President Eisenhower and
British Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan conferred for three
days in Washington.
They discussed a wide
range of international prob
lems including the prospect
for a "summt"( conference
with Soviet Russia, disarma
ment, the Middle East and
means of stimulating world
trade. They discussed also the
possible course of De Gaulle's
foreign policy.
Eisenhower proposed to So
viet Premier Nikita S. Khru
shchev that technical talks by
experts representing the al
lied nations and countries of
the Soviet blpc meet in Gene
va, Switzerland, about July
1 to discuss-a possible agree
ment in suspend nuclear wea
pons tests.
Khrushchev's acceptance
was regarded as certain.
The test suspension talks
and the forced landing of an
American Army helicopter in
East Germany confronted
Dulles with diplomatic prob
lems involving the, Chinese
Communist government and
the East German Communist
government, . which are not
recognized by ihe United
States.
Dulles said at a press con
ference in Washington that it
might be necessary to set up
inspection posts in China as
part of any agreement to sus
pend the nuclear weapons
tests.
This would mean bringing
the Chinese Reds into nego
tiations without committing
the United States to recognize
the Peiping regime. '
As regards the helicopter,
Russia refused to arrange the
release of the nine officers
and men who occupied it and
who are held in East Ger
many. Dulles said if necessary the
United States will deal direct
ly with the East German Reds
to free the Army men.
He emphasized that any ne
gotiations would not imply
recognition of the East Ger
man regime. '
"When you have people
kidnaped," he explained, "you
deal with the kidnapers."

measure has come to them
now.
For on the most critical is
sue before Congress and the
country it is Southern Con
gressmen and Senators who
are the indispensable leaders
for the future, and indeed for
the free world.
...
THIS issue is that of extend
ing the reciprocal trade, or
tariff-lowering, program to
promote more and more
world trade and to raise a
powerful retort to the Soviet
economic offensive. '
It is the Southerners who
will bring this grand enter
prise safely through House
and Senate, if it is to be
brought through. And ali who
believe in internationalism,
and in the true liberalism of
helping others to live so that
we, too, may live, will be in
the debt of these men from
the South. ,
An ultimate victory for re
ciprocal trade : will not, of
course,, wash away all their
sins, as these sins particu
larly on civil' rights are
weighed by the Northern lib
erals. But it will do much by
way of atonement.
Certainly, it will have been
an act of rarely excelled re
sponsibility in behalf of a
stronger West.
In the meantime, what is
develpoing in Congress is an
exhibition of the matchless
Southern parliamentary and
human skill within that old
forum. Often it is a Southern
art applied only in melan
choly resistance against the
will of a majority.
tUT this time it is an art
used in high morale in
behalf of a majority which
has desperate need of 'this
Dixie leadership and could
never win without it.
And when the Southern
heart, as well as Southern tal
ent, is in action, as it is in
this case, the results are some
thing to see.
Two months ago no realis
tic estimate . could give re
ciprocal trade more than a
thin chance 'to live as more
than a shadow of itself. Now,
in the afterlight of the first
tests in the House, the pros
pect is that it may yet sur
vive through the critical Sen
ate debates and lengthy Sen
ate-House negotiations.
The sharp change in cli
mate has largely been created
in the House by such brilliant
figures as Speaker Sam Ray-
burn of Texas and Represen
tative Wilbur D, Mills of
Arkansas. The Eisenhower Ad
ministration, too, has played
a part, but an off-and-on part,
Ravburn is a fiercely faith
ful "regular" ' Democrat who
would stay with his party if
required to sniff the sulphur
ous fumes of Hell itself. He
is allied with a man long dis
enchanted with the Demo
cratic party as a whole, Sena
tor Harry F. Byrd of Vir
ginia. Byrd has not really ap
proved of any Democratic
President since Woodrow Wil
son. Rayburn looks upon any
Republican Presidency as a
sad national mistake.
IjTACH of these Southern
patriarchs knows that time
is running against the one
vision of the South's proper
role upon which both can
agree an agricultural, wide
shipping region, loving good
manners and hating, the high
tariff.
For the graph of Southern
support for the reciprocal
trade program, though still
high, ' is declining year by
year as new factories smoke
up the Southern sky.
So each Rayburn at 76
and Byrd at 70 is resolved
that not in his span, at least.
will the South betray the first
article of its old political
faith free trade or something
close to it. This, and not bi
partisanship, is the real drive.
For bipartisanship is only su
perficially strongnow.
A Rayburn-Byrd combina
tion is not easily drawn up.
But once drawn up, it is not
easily broken. It is an opera
tion of quiet, immensely pro
fessional competence by men
who talk little and do much.

Taxation Facts &Q
Life; 'Suicide' G$n
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Prets International
Washington (UPI) Not a
tear will be shed nor much
political oratory uttered in
this campaign
year for, tax
payers other
than the vast
multitude of
those usually
d e s cribed by
vote - hungry
politicos as
the little fel
lows. There
Lyie c. wiisoa are. more lit
tle fellows than big fellows
and there are more small
businesses than big .busi
nesses. So the politicos usual
ly make it their business to
shed their tax tears where the
most votes are likely to be
irrigated.- . -
That probably is good short
haul politics although it may
not do full justice to the tax
facts of life. There are, how
ever, other tax: points of
view. One of the mosj start
ling stated since U.S. taxes
have become really oppres
sive and . in some areas ac
tually confiscatory came from
T.' Coleman Andrews of Vir
ginia, who used to be the boss
U.S. tax collector. . ;
Andrews was President Eis
enhower's first commissioner
of internal revenue. The jolt
in what Andrews had to say
was this:
"Whether you believe it or
not, everybody is being over
taxed and the middle class is
being taxed out of existence.
Things are mighty serious.
largely Because of ; the in
come tax, big business gets
bigger and little business and
'substantial folks' are begin
ning to disappear. Time's a
wasting, and the enemies of
the way of life that .we cher
ish rejoice as we are obliging
ly led closer to national sui
cide." . . . . V r
The Middle Class
Where the middle class be
gins and where it ends is not
exactly definable. The middle
class, itself, however, accu
ratily can be defined as the1
basic human structure of any
modern, free nation. If that
basic structure is being taxed
out of existence,' then' the
phrase national suicide as
Andrews used, it is not too
strong. ,
The June issue of The Free
man, published by the Foun
dation for Economic Educa-
tfon,. Inc., contributes some
statistics which relate largely
to the' middle class and its
taxes.
"Inflation has aggravated
the (tax) situation," says The
Freeman, "with the result
that to have the same buying
power after income tax on
individual's $2,000 income
earned in i4U would now
have to be nearly 2.3 times as
great; but a $10,000 income
would have to be '3.2 times
and a $5D,000 income would
have to be 9.8 times as great."
The Short Week r
The Tax Foundation, Inc.,
of New York examined the
tax ' plight of the man who
earns $85 a week, $4,420- a
year; under this headline:
"A 27,6 hour work week?"
"This 3i day work week
sounds Utopian," the tax foun
dation observed, "but a lot of
Americans do work now
about 27 Vi hours of their 40
hour work week to provide
food, clothing, housing, etc.,

for taxes! ' Tax Foundation,
Inc., research shows a man
earning $85 & week works all

more than half o Tuesday to
pay taxes to his federal,' state
and local government." ?
So that's the way it is with
taxes. Worst of all, however,
is the fact that these taxes,
now so crushingly heavy, are
not enough to pay the bills.
The alternatives seem to be
even higher taxes on endless
deficit financing followed by
deadly all-out infjption. '' q
