About Bears and Beauty
"Metal chests witii good locks make fair storage
receptacles, although experience has shown that not all
metal chests are bear-proof."
We are now in a position to testify to the ac
curacy of the second clause of this sentence,
printed in a little brochure warning of the danger
of bears which is handed to visitors to Crater
Lake National park.
Bears (in the case at hand, a mother with
either two or three cubs we were in no condition
to conduct an accurate census at 2 a.m.) are the
principal emotional drawback to the spic and
span new Mazama campground at Crater lake.
The loss of the breakfast bacon was of less im
portance than the sight of indigenous wildlife at
uncomfortably close range.
DEARS are only a minor facet of the overall at
" tractions provided visitors to Oregon's only
national park, which is practically in Medford's
back yard.
As a matter of fact, it often seems that this
familiarity may breed contempt, or at least ne
glect, of the same order as is expressed in the
Biblical notation that a "prophet is not without
honor save in his own country."
Many Medford people have never even visit
ed the lake probably the most beautiful in the
world. And those who have often admit they
make the two-hour trip only when they have out-of-town
guests to show around.
.
AN editorialist on the McMinnville News-Regis-ter,
a long-time resident of Oregon, recently
visited the lake for the first time, and after re
cording the impressions
"Whatever you do, don't put off your visit to this
most beautiful of all spots in our state as your editor
did for years. He is ashamed and plans to go back soon."
We are in a somewhat better position, having
visited Crater lake perhaps a dozen times over
the years. We spent two weeks there one summer
in our youth.
And we never fail to get a thrill from that first
glimpse of the mighty caldera, the intense blue
ness of the water, the exhilaration of the thin
air.
I AST week end, after our bacon-less breakfast,
we made the 36-mile Rim drive, for the first
time in more than 20 years, and were again
amazed at the great and ever-changing beauty
of the lake, which cannot really be described.
Here is the McMinnville editor s attempt:
"The beauty is made up of a composite of stark and
jagged cliffs made of volcanic rocks; the lake, blue be
yond description; the changing sky, with clouds or with
out them; the wind on the surface of the lake, and the
sense of mystery engendered in the observer's mind as
he tries to comprehend the magnitude of the great cata
clysm which once shook the mountain."
' " That "sense of mystery" is really there, too,
for it was high among the comments of the teen
agers in the party, who kept discovering new
things to awe them. The current teener adjective,
"neat," seems somehow to fall short of being ade
quately descriptive, but it was said with feeling.
"NE could spend any length of time from
days to weeks to months to years exploring
Crater Lake National park, and still be able to
find things that are new, fascinating, beautiful.
Not only is there the purely scenic attraction,
which is vast; there is also the study of the park's
flora and fauna (including bears) to be made;
the geological story of ages past; the human-interest
problem of running a vast area which is
visited by huge throngs hundreds of thousands
of people each year; and the physical exploration
of the park, from Boundary Springs in the north
(which are the headquarters of the Rogue river),
to the fascinating cinder canyons, to the pumice
laden desert. And so on and so on.
When on June 12, 1853, John Wesley Hillman
discovered the lake it must have been a tremend
ous thrill, seeing through a white man's eyes for
the first time one of the most beautiful sights in
the world.
The thrill of discovery remains, though, even
today perhaps particularly today, as the world
of nature retreats further and further from our
everyday lives. E.A.
New Respectability
Hypnotism, once one of the arcane sciences,

hands of careful, ethical medical men.

'It's som ukb dustn' with
Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop
THE OLD HERO
Washington In these times
when greater and greater dan
gers are monthly born of fee-
f o 1 1 y, it is
very good to
think about
the old hero,
even on his
deathbed. The
Congress has
just thought
about him,
graciously but
Joseph Aisop Deiateaiy pro
moting him to the rank of
lieutenant general in the U.S.
Air Force.
But even the Congress can
not really have known much
about the old hero. Almost no
one knows, for instance, that
he was one of the originators
of the modern theory of air
borne operations. The U. S.
Army laughed at, his theory,
for cavalry was still more
popular than airplanes in the
mid-1920s. The Red Army of
fered him a. rich contract to
test his theory in the Soviet
Union; but he refused it and
that episode receded.
Almost no one knows, eith
er, that he was almost certain
ly the leading American air
ace of the Second World War
and this is hardly surpris
ing, because the old hero
rolled up his score of 40-odd
Japanese airplanes shot down
before we ever got into the
war. That happened after
they threw him out of the Air
Force in the mid-1 930s, mere
ly because he was much,
much too tactlessly right
about the need for a balanced
air force and a lot of other
things. All the same, the
Army doctors who certified
that he was no longer fit for
active service had quite good
arguments on their side.
TN FACT the old hero was
- already deaf as a post and
over 40 years old, when he
turned up at Nanking just be
fore the big Japanese attack
on China. Possibly the Gener
alissimo and Madame Chiang
Kai-shek did not know enough
about modern medicine. At
any rate, they found him fit
enough to improvise, the bril
liant air. defense of Nanking
which utterly destroyed the
first squadrons the Japanese
sent in. And when the Chi
nese had no more planes of
their own left, Madame Chi
ang, whom he loved, let the
old hero go after the Japs
himself, in his specially adapt
ed Curtiss Hawk, on a
straight piecework basis.
That nest egg he made
by shooting down Japanese
ese bombers at $1,000 per
bomber was the "foreign
money" the Army general
staff used to drop unpleasant
hints about, when the old
hero came to Washington to
organize the American Vol
unteer Group the "Flying
Tigers" they called the group
later, but I never liked the
silly name. Out of little more
than string and chewing gum,
the old hero had devised the
Chinese air warning net, that
sustained China's resistance
through the worst years. Out
of little more than string and
chewing gum and some fine
American pilots, he also de
vised the A. V. G.
One can see him now,
sweating it out in the awful
heat on that awful air field in
Toungoo, Burma, in the pre
Pearl Harbor summer. Frank
lin Roosevelt had boldly giv
en him 100 P-40s that even
the beleaguered British did
not want, and he had crews
of 100 U. S. pilots of every
imaginable sort. (Seven were
actually Navy . flying boat
pilots, who first tried to land
their P-40s about 15 feet
above steaming runway, with
u n f o r tunate consequences.)
But he did not have any staff
worth mentioning, or any
spare parts at all, or .even, for
a while, any ammunition for
his P-40's' machine ("guns."
a chicken, isn't it?'
"MTJBODY but Diana Cooper
I and old Air Marshal
BrookeTopham, whom they
later unjustly blamed for
Singapore, really thought for
a moment that the old hero
could succeed in Burma. But
there at Toungoo, he invented
the radically new P-40 tactics
that successfully defeated the
Japanese Zeros. (They later
decorated someone else for
the invention.) Within a fort
night after he took the A. V.
G. into China, no more Jap
anese bombs dropped. It was
as simple as that, though he
and the A. V. G. faced mir
acle odds of about five to one.
Again, one can see him
now, as he was in those tan
gled, ugly war years at Kun
ming. By then you would
have called him an old man
the skin of the deep lined face
was like the surface of long
aged pak but the tremen
dous, telling jut of the jaw
was still there all the same.
He needed what that jutting
jaw implied for his bitter war
time battles with the air staff,
and that brave old fool, Gen.
Joe Stillwell, and with a lot
of other people.
The battles saved his Four
teenth Air Force,, which in
turn saved China from com
ing to pieces altogether in
mid-war, under the impact of
the last Japanese offensive.
Very few people know it, but
Stillwell's curious military
plans never provided Chiang
Kai-shek's wornout infantry
with a single machine gun
bullet to use against the Jap
anese on any Chinese battle
field.) AH the same, the old
hero lost his last battle, to
save Free China from the
Communists.
MAYBE he would have con
vinced more people
more easily, maybe he would
have had to fight fewer bat
tles, if he had fewer faults
and weaknesses. He was al
most wholly self-educated for
one thing; and when he did
his own logistical calculation
on the back of a dirty enve
lope, the results did not im
press conventional-minded of
ficers with staff training. For
another, he had the touchy
vanity that self-educated men
with very great capacities al
ways develop, if they are pat
ronized and slighted as the
old hero had been in his years
in the peacetime U. S. Army.
There were some other
warts to provide contrast in
the portrait; but I have called
him the old hero because he
always remained a hero to
me, although I studied the
warts at closest range. His
name is Claire Lee Chen
nault. We shall be poorer
without him.

Editorial Comment
ARGUMENT AGAINST
DEATH PENALTY
Down in Georgia a man
walked free out of thedeath
house of the state penitenti
ary the other day. He had
been twice convicted of com
mitting murder during a rob
bery, but the confession of
another man saved his life.
This incident is certain to
have a bearing on the opinion
of Oregon voters who will
ballot on a proposal advocat
ed by Gov. Bob Holmes to
abolish the death penalty.
Not many innocent people
are convicted of capital
crimes and executed, but ob
viously some are. Here was
a case in which a witness had
identified the alleged killer
positively but erroneously,
as it turned out.
The state of Georgia was
plain lucky that it hadn't al
ready killed this innocent

U.S. Lebanon Entry
Lacks Justification
(Editor's note: Charles A. Sprague. editor and pub
lisher of the Oregon Statesman in Salem, former gov
ernor of Oregon, and. in 1952, alternate U. S. delegate
lo the U.N. General Assembly, entered a dissent to the
U. S. action in sending troops into Lebanon. His column,
written under the headline "U. S. Entry in Lebanon Not
Justified on Moral or Legal Grounds" follows.)
By CHARLES A. SPRAGUE
Let us have . done with
"moralizing" over United
States intervention in Leba
non. We have not dispatched
Marines there just to shore up
the present Lebanese govern
ment. It is our move on the
chessboard of power politics.
Our concern is not chiefly for
the Lebanese people, to pro
tect . them from , trespassing
Syrians and Egyptians; but
for our "national interests"
which focus on the contain-
mnet of the Soviet Union and
of Communism, and on pre
vention of Russian control of
the great reservoir of petro
leum in the Middle East.
We are not fretting partic
ularly over whether the mis
erable fellaheen of Egypt and
the impoverished villagers of
Iraq and Syria and the no
mads of Saudi Arabia fall un
der the sway of Russia their
lot could hardly be much
worse than it is and has been
for centuries. We are fearful
lest the Middle East, strate
gically and economically im
portant, fall under Soviet
domination. At least let us be
honest about that.
The Oregonian which de
clares that the United States
is "on firm moral ground" in
dispatching troops to Leba
non tinctures its morals with
oil when it says of the coun
tries of the Middle East that
these territories and resources
"cannot be permitted to fall
under the arbitrary control of
any bloc unfriendly to the
West." And one of its stable
of Washington correspond
ents, William S. White, makes
the same dual defense:
"Washington has now put it
plainly that we will not per
mit the Middle East to fall
into the wide sink of commu
nism. Made clear, too, is that
we will now allow Western
Europe to be shut off from the
Middle East oil which she
must have,"
The New York Herald-Tribune
was more frank than the
Oregonian when it headed its
supporting editorial: "T h e
West's lifeblood is threaten
ed."' We are told, too, that it was
time for the United States to
"take a stand," otherwise we
would continue to be "pushed
around." This makes inter
vention a matter of prestige,
which again is part of the
game of power politics.
If our policy is to save peo
ples from Communism we had
a much better case in Hun
gary in 1956 when its people
tried desperately to free
themselves from the Russian
yoke and made an appeal to
United Nations for aid against
the Russian aggressors.
Or in Poland where there
was a similar Uprising. Then
the United States joined other
nations of the West to re
nounce any intention to in
tervene, although our ties to
the Poles and Hungarians
were much closerthan to the
Lebanese.
Justification, even from the
standpoint of national inter
est, of intervention in Leba
non requires the equation of
pan-Arabism with Nasserism
and it with Communism. This
calls for assumptions, such as
that the rebellion in Lebanon
and the coup in Iraq were
plotted in Moscow or by
agents of Moscow. For that
there is no proof. It ignores
the fact of Arab aspirations
toward independence and na
tional unity, which has lifted
President Nasser to a world
protectorate of Kuwait, has
conferred twice with Presi
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of
the United Arab Republic.
Kuwait, on the Persian Gulf
is the greatest oil producing
center in the whole Middle
East, and one of the greatest
in the world.
It has long been known
there is a strong pro-Nasser
element in Kuwait, and as a
precaution Britain is reinforc
ing its troops in the neighbor
ing sheikdom on Ban-Bahrein.
Yemen Needles Britain
Kuwait's oil is vitally im
portant to Britain. A British
commentator discussing a pos
sible blow-up there, has said
Kuwait is more important to
Britain economically than
Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus
put together.
Cairo dispatches say Yem
en, the belligerent little king
dom at the tip of the Arabian
figure. It ignores, too, the
pressures' of the Arabs for ex
pulsion of European protec
torates . from Syria clear
'round the Mediterranean to
Morocco and Algeria.
' .
If now we intervene in the
Middle East because Nasser
gives us offense, because he
is a gimcrack dictator who
will be just a pawn of the
Soviet Union, then we were
dead wrong in 1956 when we
turned against Israel and Brit
ain and France and forced
through United Nations their
evacuation of the Suez.
The Israeli had more prov
ocation than the Lebanese be
cause their borders had per
sistently been violated by
Egyptians; and Britain and
France had more at stake in
the Suez Canal and the Mid
die East than the United
States.
On moral grounds (wisely,
I believe) we moved to halt
their aggression in Egypt.
Now, for a similar reason, we
moved in troops at the re
quest of the President of Leb
anon, but our move did not
square with our commitments
under the Eisenhower Doc
trine which called for support
on request when a nation was
subject to or threatened by
"armed aggression from any
country controlled by inter
national communism," which
was not the case in Lebanon
no Soviet or Communist
soldiers were anywhere near.
Nor did the United States
rely on United Nations. We
had besought the dispatch of
an observation team by U.N.
It reported that it found no
evidence of substantial infil
tration to support the rebel
fcrces. It was only after the
coup in Iraq that we rushed
in our Marines and paratroop
ers and then besought Unit
ed Nations to take over the
policing.
Washington simply got pan
icky after it got the news
from Baghdad. Instead, of
waiting for some clearing of
the atmosphere it reversed its
policy and shipped in Marines
and Britain- followed with
troops to Jordan. Now an am
bassador from Iraq named by
the new government declares
that Iraq will honor its com
mitments, will continue to de
liver oil to the West, still con
siders itself a member of the
Baghdad Pact.
Meantime, we have conced
ed, to Russia for the first time
in the cold war the moral ini
tiative. Now Ambassador So
boleff moves in U.N. for the
withdrawal of foreign troops
from Lebanon and Jordon.
And President Krushchev ev
en more dramatically seizes
the initiative with an invita
tion, to an immediate summit
meeting, dressing it in the at
tractive colors of averting the
war which seems to threaten.
To sum up: Our interven
tion in Lebanon is not justi
fied on moral or legal
grounds. It is the consequence
of our fixation in trying to

Playing Politics?
To the Editor: When It
comes to playing politics,
nothing is sacred to the in
cumbent congressman from
the fourth district of Oregon,
Charles Porter.
On June 3, 1958, Porter
wrote a letter to 27 local peo
ple, claiming that he was
working for veterans' hos
pital facilities at Camp White.
In the letter he said, and these
are his exact words, "The
coming reduction of facilities
in the Roseburg Veterans Ad
ministration Hospital may be
a weapon on our side." With
this "our" business Porter at
tempted to be on the side of
Jackson county people who
are seriously working toward
a worthwhile end.
On July 10, however, a
press service story appeared
in a Portland paper;, saying
that he was -working to pre
vent reduction of operatipns
in Roseburg.
Has the congressman
polarize international politics
between the Soviet Union
(Communism) and the West
(the Free World). It overlooks
the surge of peoples lately
emancipated from colonial
status for independence and
for material progress and for
ethnic and national prestige.
It overlooks, too, the tur
bulence of new and immature
governments and the easy re
sort to revolt and assassina
tion as a result of internal
stresses. The intervention is
essentially an attempt to coun
ter, in advance, a power pen
etration of the Middle East by
the Soviet Union. It must be
assessed then solely in terms
of power politics.
