East-West Highway Chances for completion of the Lake of the Woods road to Klamath Falls and eventually construction of the long-sought route from Win nemucca, Nevada, to the sea never looked so good. The most important step, to have the trans Cascade route place on the forest highway net work, hinged on the decision by the bureau of public roads, a decision reportedly made favor ably last week. The forest service has already approved such a move, and so has the state highway commission. A BPR representative has expressed himself as favorably impressed with the project, and agreed to use the highway commission's engineering sur vey of the proposal, thus eliminating the need for additional on-the-spot work, duplicating what has already been done. "IXHEN the forest highway designation is ap- proved, then the route will take its place on a list of upcoming projects, and in its turn will be improved to a high standard. The route has many advantages over the Green Springs route. It has fewer curves, an easier grade, and is in a more, direct line of travel. It will help tap large stands of timber, and make the trip from Medford to Klamath Falls a much faster, easier jaunt. And it would open to much easier access one of the best recreational areas in the state, the Lake of the Woods, Fish Lake, Fourmile Lake, Mt. McLoughlin area. "II7E HAVE travelled the route several times in its present, . unimproved condition, and it would appear that bringing it to a high standard forest highway would not be a major undertak ing. We have heard no cost estimates, as yet, but it would be far less than cutting through an en tirely new right of way. this section, in many ways, is the most im portant to Medford of the whole Winnemucca-to-the-sea proposal, for our economic ties with Klamath County are strong, and roads in other directions are mostly good. But the other portions are of great importance, too. . To the east, Highway 66 continues to Lake view. But here one must gp either north or south; for there is no decent east-west road. If and when it is cut through, from Lakeview to Winnemucca, by way of Adel, Ore., and into Nevada south of Denio, it will cut some 150 miles off the trip to Salt Lake City and points east. IN THE other direction, the road to Grants Pass is fair, and soon will be good. But from there to the coast, and a seaport, the choice narrows. There is Highway 199, which from the California border almost to Crescent City, while beautiful, is full of curves and grades. K lo the north, the first westward highway is No. 42, which is one of the worst state highways in Oregon. The first decent route to the sea is No. 38, but one has to go all to it. Someday, a new route to the ocean will be opened up, either to Brookings or Gold Beach. And when that happens, Medford will take on an added importance east-west route, as well ot travel and commerce. b.A. Merlin Division Project The Talent project, the $22 million reclama tion and irrigation undertaking which is now well under way in Jackson county, is the only portion of the overall Rogue Basin Project so far ap proved by Congress. But there is increasing interest in other phases of the Rogue plan including the Illinois Valley project and the Merlin Division project. Neither is as large as the Talent job, but each is important in its own area. TTHE bureau of reclamation recently completed a study of the Merlin division, and declared that it is feasible from an engineering standpoint. Located in Josephine county a few miles north of Grants Pass, the project would provide irriga tion for 9,260 acres of land near Merlin, doubling the amount of irrigated Acreage in the area, and providing a reservoir some 2X2 miles long. This would provide both recreational and flood con trol benefits. Potential benefits are figured at a ratio of 1.67 to 1, on a 50-year basis, a ratio considered exceedingly good, and much better than in many other western reclamation projects. S A result of the feasibility finding, the people of Josephine county er or not it is something they want, and are will ing to work for as the people of Jackson county decided some years ago in regard to the Talent project. The Grants Pass Courier, in commenting on the proposal, said that if the people's decision is affirmative, then "intelligent, coordinated effort" will be required to obtain authorization. And it added: "It is up to individuals and groups to become fa miliar with the nature of the project, to discuss it and to promote it for the general welfare of the citizens of the county. It is a task that must not be complicated by emotional partisanship or be confused by unrelated issues. It is a hard task, but one that is not beyond us if we all work together for our common good." To which Jackson county people; interested and sympathetic, and. experienced in just such a problem, can say "amen."

Boy. is this EVER A KEEN SURPRISE Klamath Bill Due; Interpretations of Versions Differ BY A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The Klamath Indian bill is scheduled to come up for vote in a special meeting Monday of the House Interior Committee amid con flicting interpretations of one major change made thus far in the Senate passed ver sion. The major change was to strike out the the key phrase at var- a. Robt smith lous places in the bill but whether this means the Klamath forests would not have to be oper ated and managed on a sustained-yield basis, or some thing basically similar, is a question government lawyers are now trying to answer. This change showed up when the House Indian Af fairs subcommitee approved an amended version of the bill which the Senate passed sev eral months ago. The bill's chief purpose is to prevent the Interior Department from be ing required to put the Klam ath pine forests up for private sale for whatever the timber will bring a "fire sale" pro cedure, Interior Secretary Fred A.. Seaton has called it. Bill Changed The Senate bill would have allowed private operators to bid on the timber, provided they would "agree to manage the forest lands for not less than 100 years according to sustained yield plans to be prepared and submitted by them for approval and inclu sion in the conveyancing in truments. . ." But in the House subcom mittee, Rep. Jack Westland (R-Wash.) offered an amend? ment which caused a big has sle within the committee over this provision. Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.) said he opposed West land's efforts to kill the sustained-yield proviso, with the resulting "compromise" lan guage adopted by the subcom mittee: ". . .purchasers who agree to manage the forest lands as far as practicable so as to fur nish a continuous supply of timber according to plans to be prepared and submitted by them for approval and inclu sion in the conveyancing in struments. . ." Different Interpretations This new phrase "to furnish a continuous supply of tim ber" which replaces the more familiar term "sustained yield" is subject to different interpretations. Congressman Westland claims this is a change whose purpose is to simply use the "same phrase ology" that applies to the na tional forests. "Nowhere does the term sustained-yield appear in the statutes applying to the for est service," argued Westland. Edward C. Crafts, assistant chief of the Forest Service, who has followed the Klam ath fight all the way, con firmed that Westland was cor rect up to a point "the term continuous supply of timber is used in our 1897 statute, but that was before the concept of sustained - yield was devel oped." Crafts said the' important thing was that the 1897 stat ute is administered under reg ulations drafted by the secre tary of agriculture which do use the term sustained-yield. Reasons Giren Westland claimed also that his purpose in pushing this change was to prevent a pur chaser from being in "techni cal violation of the law" if he didn't follow the letter of sustained-yield plan each year. He explained that a bug infes tation might one year require more cutting than normally, while another year a slump in the market might make a re duction in the cut a wise move. 'j Westland also contended that "in some respects this is tougher" language in the bill because it would reqire oper ations to assure a continuous supply of timber "forever" and not just for 100 years, as the Senate bill requires. The Forest Service has its fingers crossed about just what this change means. "We don't really know what it means yet," said Crafts. "It depends on how the commit tee interprets it in their re port on the bill. Continuous supply is a little broader term. It could encompass sustained yield, or it could be something less than sustained-yield." Research Asked Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said at his request the Forest Service is researching its laws in an effort to clarify the possible effect of this amendment. Neuberger push ed the bill through the Senate and hopes to be able to get the bill enacted finally with the term sustained-yield in tact. Assuming the House ver sion is passed by the House, the bill then goes to a confer ence committee where a com promise version must be worked out. Neuberger said he has been assured he will head the Senators who will be appointed to that conference. Neuberger said he thought criticism of the House version voiced last Week by Gov. Rob ert D. Holmes was justified. Holmes wired Neuberger and House leaders in protest against "emasculating" amend ments, which he contended would "result in flooding our markets with Indian timber and will rob Indians price wise." 1 Congressman Ullman felt the governor's criticism, was an indirect slap at him, for Ullman is on the subcommit tee which made the changes. Ullman said he didn't want Westland's changes, but he didn't think they were so bad. Sees Higher Standards "If you've got a responsible Secretary of Agriculture, you could conceivably get higher standards under this bill than under the other," Ullman said. He pointed out, as Westland had, that the 100-year limit on sustained - yield manage ment was changed to make the management for continu ous timber supply "perpetu al." Ullman said the commit tee report will explain the purpose of the bill to assure good conservation practices. Ullman said the significant thing which his efforts held in the bill was the requirement that prospective purchasers of the timber submit plans to the Forest Service in advance of the bid. The plans must in clude provisions for soil and water conservation as well as timber management. They must be approved by the Sec retary of Agriculture as com plying with the minimum standards set up to govern op eration of the Klamath tim ber. The House version also calls for a review of the appraisal already made of the Klamath resources, with values to be reported to Congress by next Jan. 15. No timber could be sold before July 1, 1959 to private purchasers. If they don't buy any or all the tim ber by July 1, 1961, it would be taken over by the Forest Service. Washington Report By William POLITICS GOES ON Washington The fellow who keeps books at the ce ment plant will be moved like the rest of us when great crises come upon the coun try. But he will go right on keeping the books. So, too, the profess i o n a 1 politician. He mSiwhSris deeply inter ested in Lebanon, in Iraq, in Jordan. But he, too, still has his job to do. While his heart is with the drama of the Mid dle East, his mind must re main prosaically upon the Middle West and . the West, the South and the East. In this sense the black for eign headlines have become first and foremost only anoth er problem in all the other do mestic political calculations of the national politician. In both parties, the top pro fessionals are supporting the President in act as well as in word as he moves fatefully in the Middle East. And the Democrats mean this support quite as much as do the Re publicans. BUT in both parties, the top professionals are also very busy in another way. They are casting up their early, tentative balance sheets as to the effect on the Congression al elections this fall of Presi dent Eisenhower's dispatch of the Marines and paratroopers to protect the free West's position. The most optimistic of the confidential estimates of Re publican professionals does not claim that the party can win these elections as a result of the President's action- after such long inaction. These confidential estimates do,, however, raise the possi bility that the Republicans might have a good chance to reduce the degree of losses that earlier had seemed in evitable. A Republican pro always found by this correspondent to be bleakly realistic private ly sums it up: "A week ago we were dead for '58 . , simply dead. Now, we are at least alive, if only a little.' The most pessimistic of the confidential estimates among uemocratic proiessionais as sumes that the Democrats are fairly certain at worst to broaden somewhat their pres ently thin majorities in the Senate and House. They are seen as certain to widen these margins very sharply if the highest figures of the Demo cratic party are able to sus tain their present determina tion to keep fringe and splin t e r Democratic spokesmen from attacking foreign policy in these dangerous times. IT IS noteworthy and far from accidental that those Democrats who are standing most strongly with the President now include former President Truman, Adlai E. Stevenson, Speaker Sam Ray burn of the House of Repre sentatives and Senator Lyn don B. Johnson, the Senate Democratic Leader. A Democratic professional of high competence and re liability puts it this way: "If we can continue to show that we are a truly responsible party and if Harry (Mr. Tru man) doesn't let his very understandable memories of his own shabby treatment by the Republicans over Korea get the better of him the Re publicans are going nowhere in '58. In any case, they can't possibly get very far." Nobody in either party, pa renthetically, is attempting to peer into the Presidential con test of 1960. The question of 1958 is quite enough for the moment. Such a rise in heart among the Republican pros as there has been is only relative. It is based upon the belief that Mr. Eisenhower's bold act in the Middle East after years of indecision before the march of imperialist communism may help neutralize a power ful Democratic issue for this fall. . rpHIS issue actually had been unearthed widely in secret polls made on behalf of Con gressional Republicans rather than Congressional Demo crats. The bad news brought to the Republicans had been this: Not even Presidential As sistant Sherman Adams and his vicuna coat and other fa vors from Bernard Goldfine were doing the Republicans so much harm as was a spreading public image of Mr. Eisenhower as having faltered in national leadership. It would be true irony if General Eisenhower's decision to intervene boldly in the Middle East in 1958 should save his own party from an all-out Congressional election disaster. For his refusal to intervene at all in the Middle mm S. White East in 1956 except nega tively in helping to end the British-French-Israeli invasion of pro-Communist E g y p t helped compound a Demo cratic Presidential election disaster of that year. Mr. Eisenhower would have won over Mr. Stevenson any how but certainly not by the vast landslide with which he did win. (Copyright, 1958. by United Fealurei Syndicate, Inc.) Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann THE MARINES IN THE LEBANON The Marines have been landed at Beirut in the des perate hope of limiting the disaster which the Iraqi rev o 1 u t i o n has brought upon the Western posit ion. It would be a miracle, which is not likely to hap pen, if the Walter Lippmann land i n g , which is now confined to Bei rut and, its airport, is any where nearly sufficient to stabilize the situation. The Marines are quite able to pro tect the capital of the Leb anon just by their presence. But there is no assurance that they will bring the civil war to an end. Moreover, Jordan, which is an artificial and fragile king dom beset by a revolution similar to that in Iraq, has ap pealed to Britain and Ameri ca for military assistance. The appeal of King Hussein was as difficult to refuse as the appeal of President Chamoun, though in the case of Jordan it was British paratroopers who were sent in. Possibly, Saudi Arabia will be able to get along without calling for help, largely to be sure by a policy of neutrali ty which is increasingly be nevolent to Nasser. Finally, it seems most prob able that the British will feel that they have to land troops in the little sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, where are their main oil holdings in the Mid dle East. THUS, there is a grim pros- pect that the British and the Americans will find them selves holding on to . beach heads on the fringes of the Arab countries of the Middle East. In no Arab country, ex cept the Lebanon ' which is about half Christian, does the West have any strong friends. As the cards now lie, the best that : President Eisenhower ean hope for is that the bigger Arab nations can be contained by a holding operation at the shores of the Eastern Medi terranean and of the Persian Gulf. It will be a momentous question how deeply and for how long American forces are to be tied down in this holding operation. For Nas ser will now control, except for Israel, all that we do not hold onto by military force. THE decision to send in the Marines was, as we all realize, a tragic choice be tween two evils. After the Iraqi revolution, it was a vir tual certainty that the Leb anon, Jordan, and the Persian Gulf states would fall too, if they were not supported from the outside. That was the evil the President decided to re sist. The other evil, which he had, therefore, to embrace, was that we are now in mili tary opposition to the Arab revolution, and that in the Middle East the alignment is increasingly sharp and spec tacular between the Moslem Arabs and the Western pow ers with their client states. The President's speech on Tuesday evening took the un fortunate line of identifying Nasser' both with Hitler and with Stalin, and in declaring what amounts to an ideologi cal war against him. MY OWN view is that the agonizing dilemma in which the President found himself on Monday morning is due to a fundamental error, which many have pointed out, in the conception and design of our Middle Eastern policy. The error is in believing that the way to stabilize the Mid dle East is to align as many Middle Eastern countries as can be persuaded to join in a military alliance against the Soviet Union. This is an . error for two main reasons.' One is that it is absurd to suppose that a great power like Russia can be excluded from a region which is as close to her and PTILUeC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) The following letter was received last week: Mayor John W. Snider City Hall Medford, Oregon Dear John: It has come to my attention that on July 10, 1958, four traffic lights located on East Main Street (in Medford) were inoperative during the day, and that each of these traffic as important to her as is Cen tral America, to the United States. The other reason is that the intent of the Arabs is not to be aligned with us or with the Soviet Union, but to be neutral and to profit by dealing with both sides. The policies, based on this misconception, have blown up and are in ruin. They were based on theories which are contrary to the facts of life, and they were certain to fail. rpHIS is not mere post mor- ten. For it is most prob able, it seems to me, that we shall not be able to reach any solution as long as the prin ciple, or rather the ghost, of the old policy continues to dominate the thinking of the White House and of the State Department. That is to say, a policy of the military con tainment of Nasser, which is what we are now involved m, has no promise of any kind of settlement and is a great threat of far reaching compli cations. ' The alternative is to pro pose a settlement in the Mid dle East based on the prin ciple of neutrality. This is what Egypt professes and probably wants. And for the little states, like Lebanon and Israel, the principle of neu tralization guaranteed by all the great powers and by the United ' Nations offers the greatest promise! The essential point is that we should not merely begin on the beaches and then ac cept as the best that is pos sible an Indefinitely pro longed indirect and ideologi cal war with the Arab revolu tion. We should seek a settle ment by negotiation, recogniz ing that both the Soviet Union and the United Arab Republic are powers and have interests with which we must reach an accommodation., .-.- (c) 1958 New York - Herald Tribune Inc.

We have no objec tion whatsoever to the Citv of Medford using our potato sacks, in fact' we are very happy over the free advertis ing we have received through this medium,. Possibly sometime in the future we may have a situa tion where we will have to cover some of our traffic lights and we may reciprocate the favor by using some pear boxes. Thank you very much again Mayor Snider for the free ad vertising. Sincerely yours, Lawrence E. Slater ; Mayor of Klamath Falls The following reply was sent the same weekt Lawrence E. Slater Mayor, City of Klamath Falls, Oregon Dear Larry: Thank you for the acknowl edgement of our advertising effort on behalf of Klamath Falls potatoes. This is only the first of our efforts to help promote the great Oregon Centennial. Our next step might very possibly be covering the lights with Columbia River salmon. Later on we have scheduled the use of some of your scrawny Klamath pelicans. Your offer to reciprocate is accepted with our thanks. Yours very truly, . John W. Snider Mayor of Medford Still later in the week it was noticed that the sacks were taken down, and what looked very much like pear box shook used to cover the lights. And of course, if the sack dress is really going out of fashion, at pre dicted, that would be a won derful source of material for covering traffic lights. We'll volunteer the society editor's. An Applegate couple, who proudly own a beautiful pedi greed cocker spaniel, took their pet with them on a re cent trip to the coast, and in troduced her to the Pacific Ocean, of which she took a "dim view." Our report continues: "She has a passion for wa ter but NOT the kind that rises up and chases her with loud swishing noises. She found herself a bit of drift wood of just the right size for chewing, and after carrying it around a while, decided to bury it. And the only right place to do it was right at the edge of the last wave. She would hopefully trot out and make two passes at digging a hole, only to be forced into rapid retreat by the next O wave. As soon as It receded, she would trot down and try again with the same unsatis factory result. Finally, when she was worn and weary, we took the stick and buried it for her, but she dug it up as if to say, "No, this just isn't the right place,', and went on trying until we left the beach, whereupon she brought the chewing-stick along with her and stowed it in her bed box until we got home. She has now reduced most of it to splinters but still hunts up the remnant at intervals to play with and munch on. "Aren't dogs fun?"

The farm editor journeyed out of town not long ago in the company of a man who was driving one of those small foreign - made cars, of which he was proud. i- At their destination they stopped near a parking lot, and noticed .how the tails of the late-model U.S. cars an . hung way over the curb. The FE's friend looked at them disdainfully and declared: Reminds me of a bunch of hens all blowed out from laying too many eggs. At that point, a tall in dividual dressed up t a cowboy ambled up and sug gested that the occupants put a rope on the small car and tie it to the parking meter, "Otherwise th' li'l critter might get away." ; .
