Why "Repeaters
What creates a hardened criminal, a repeater
or, in the words of the social workers, a reci
divist';? Will Turnbladh, director of the National Pro
bation and Parole association (who is known
here from his earlier visits in connection with the
campaign for the juvenile detention home some
years ago) has prepared
a nation-wide study of
gives some of the reasons.
UE entitles it "Recipe
How to make sure that first offenders be
come hardened criminals."
Here it is:
A proved recipe for society to use if it wants to guar
antee that the person who commits his first offense will
go on to commit others is:
1. Place the offender in "cold storage" in an under
staffed detention home (if he is a child) or a jail which
has no trained staff and no program before he is tried
and sentenced. This will confirm his idea that society has
no faith in him.
2. Have the social or presentence investigation of the
first offender done by untrained or overworked proba
tion officers who, for lack of skill or lack of time, can
only make a superficial stab at uncovering causes for
and backgrounds of the delinquent or criminal act the
basis of sound sentencing.
3. Have the judge accompany his sentence with ad
monitions or threats; have him decide on the sentence
without the individual study necessary to determine
whether there are underlying behavior problems which
may grow into serious or dangerous behavior.
4. If you place the offender on probation, assign
him to an untrained or overloaded probation officer who
can give him only nominal supervision and guidance
which is nothing more than
ports to the ofiice, or the probation officer spends a
couple of minutes at the offender's home once a month
or once every two months. This will not only fail to help
the offender help himself, an inherent feature of proba
tion, but further distorts his already misshapen idea of
the law and its agents.
5. Commit the offender to an unduly long period in
a correctional institution so that he loses incentive, and
arrange for him to be released only after he has reached
the peak of his response to the correctional program.
6. Give him a perfunctory five- or ten-minute parole
"hearing." If, as a result, he is not released, the super
ficial procedure is sure to demoralize him; if he is re
leased, the parole board has obviously not calculated the
risk very carefully.
7. Assume that an untrained or overworked parole
officer can give the parolee the guidance and reinforce
ment he so critically needs during his first few months
back in free society, where every day he must make de
cisions for which he was "deconditioned" in the regi
mented routine of the institution.
8. Encourage his pals, neighbors, or fellow employees
to shun and distrust him so that he can't find his way
back into the stream of normal life.
There are other ingredients, of course, but these are
enough to turn out a recognizable dish. And the hard
fact is that we are using this recipe in a great many com
munities and states today.
TTHIS, obviously, is the opinion of a man who
A is devoted to the rehabilitation theory of
punishment, as opposed to the punitive theory.
But there is much to be said for the practical
ity of his views. If it is

a net gain for society both in terms of the cash-on-the-line
which must be paid for long prison
sentences, and in terms of wasted productivity.

applies to first-offenders,

West-Russ Religious Talks
Maybe they are under the Kremlin's thumb,
says the World Council of Churches, but they are
still our brothers in Christ. So the World Council
of Churches has scheduled, in The Netherlands
on Friday, Aug. 8, talks with Russian Orthodox
church leaders on "closer relationships."
The World Council, formally founded at Am
sterdam in 1948, is the chief international body
promoting the so-called ecumenical movement.
This is the attempt to join Christian churches now
separate into a whole through their recognition of
a common faith. Orthodox churches from several
countries of eastern Europe are already cooper
ating with the Council.
fJNDER Khrushchev the Soviet Union has ab-
andoned some of the open hostility to the
church that characterized Stalin's regime. Even
back in 1954 and 1955 Khrushchev laid down a
take-it-easy line on suppressing religious activi
ties and leaders.
All the same, the Soviet government continues
its promulgation of atheism among young people.
And all the evidence indicates that the church is
tolerated behind the Iron Curtain only as long
as it is "good" that is, supports the Govern

A DULLES FORMULA
While we do not know much
about the meeting in Peiping
over the week end between
the Russians
and the Chi
nese, we do
know that it
has added a
new compli
cation to a
sumrnif meet
in g. Khrush
chev's original
proposal had
the great prac
Walter Lippmann
tical advantage that it looked
to the Middle East without
raising the problems of the
Far East. On this essential
point, Gen. de Gaulle's pro
posal took advantage of what
really was an important con
cession, and offered to meet
at the summit without Red
China participating.
But our own counter pro
posal which insisted upon im
bedding a summit meeting in
the Security Council meant
not only that Mao was not to
be present but that Chiang
had the right to be present
and in case there was any vot
ing under the Council's pro
cedure ,to" exercise a veto.
Now Mr. Dulles has missed
the bus, and if there is to be
a summit meeting at all, we
mustexpect that in one way
or another Mao will have a
part in it.
TN MY OWN view I am un
I happy and apprehensive
about the way we are being
pushed backwards with our
minds confused into a summit
meeting.
For judging by Mr. Dulles'
press conference last week he
has not cast himself in the
role of -a statesman who knows
that to make progress towards
stability in the Middle East he
must give as well as take. He
is playing the part of a litigat
ing lawyer who hopes to win
an argument. He is out to
prove first, that the interven
tion' in Lebanon and Jordan
was legal. Having been done
at the invitation of the legit
imate governments, it is not,
therefore, aggression. This is
undoubtedly true. And second,
he means to turn the table,
and charge the Russians and
the United Arabs with "indi
rect aggression."
If someone had tried to de
vise a formula most likely to
set off a rhetorical explosion
which will poison the air, he
could not have found a more
sure-fire mischief-maker. .
SOMEONE to whom the Pres
ident will listen- should
warn him-, that he will make
a great mistake if he thinks
that he can dominate the sum

BLOW UP YOUR CHEST
truth is that indirect aggres
sion that is to say, propa
ganda, infiltration, bribery,
subversion is an old instru
ment of power politics, and in
our time it is the way the cold
war is fought. Both sides use
it when they think they can
do so to their own(advantage.
It would impair, not enhance,
the President's moral credit if
he were to become blindly
self-righteous and were to tell
a knowing and skeptical world
that we do not resort to what
he calls indirect aggression
and that only our adversary
ies do.
Panama will be sitting on

cently the scene of .a suc
cessful coup, publicly ' ap
plauded by Mr. Eisenhower
himself, to oust an anti-American
and fellow traveling gov
ernment. The President will
be reminded of what hap
pened in Iran when Mossa
degh was pushed out.
Over the whole of the Pres
ident's denunciation of exter
nal interference against exist
ing governments will hang the
Dulles theory of the libera
tion of Eastern. Europe, and
the obvious fact that if we
knew a way to overturn the
existing governments without
the enormous risks of war, we
should be only too happy to
use that way. j
THE central fact is that in
the cold war today, the op
portunities open to our adver
saries are much greater than
those open to us. For we are
opposing three big revolution
ary movements the Russian,
the ' Chinese and the Arabs
which have a potent appeal to
the intellectual leaders and to
the masses of backward coun
tries. Not all countries are
vulnerable to these revolu
tionary movements. But a
great many countries are, and
it is in them that indirect ag
gression works. Governments
are not easily overthrown
from abroad unless there is
already within the country a
strong disposition to encour
age and to receive external
aid.
The thesis, propounded by
Mr. Dulles and accepted . by
Mr. Eisenhower, amounts to
a demand that in the weapons
of the cold war, our adver
saries shall disarm, and in ef
fect acquiesce in their own
military containment, as for
example, by the remaining
members of the Baghdad Pact.

KHRUSHCHEV'S
EVERLASTING PEACE '

thing you can say. for certain
about Nikita Khrushchev's

"The aggresive bloc of West
ern powers," says the com
munique, ". . . (are) bringing
mankind to the brink of a
war catastrophe. They should
know, however, that if the
imperialist war maniacs
should dare to impose war
on the people of the world,
all countries and peoples who
love peace and freedom will
unite closely to wipe out clean
the imperialist aggressors and
so establishing everlasting
world peace."
Those words, being inter
preted, are a threat to "wipe
out clean" the leading nations
of the free world, and so
establish a! Communist world
empire. They reflect the
change in the balance of ter
ror (as the great Churchill
used to call it) which has
been flaccidly permitted by
the present American lead
ership. THERE is also another thing
that you can say, with at
least a high degree of cer
tainty, about this Khrushchev
Mao get-together. The an
nounced presence of the Chi
nese and Soviet defense min
isters, Marshal Peng Teh-huai
and Marshal Rodion Malinov

military topics were on the
agenda. If the meeting's only
purpose had been to keep the
Chinese happy, about the
famous summit meeting that
is supposed to relax tensions,
the two Marshals would not

are likly to lead a country
into a dilemma where it must
choose between a retreat
which is humiliating and an
advance which may be disas
trous. MR. DULLES is concerned,
and rightly so, by the
progress of tne revoiu
tionary movement in the Mid
dle East. But he is indulging1
in a legal day-dream, and is
in the highest degree unrealis
tic, if he thinks, the President
can induce Mr. Khrushchev,
or the United Nations, to
agree to a legal prohibition
that is more than a pious plat
itude. It is a startling footnote
to Mr. Dulles' thesis that hav
ing i announced his doctrine
about indirect, aggression on
Thursday, he followed it up
on Saturday by recognizing
the revolutionary government
of Iraq, presumably a product
of indirect aggression.
The real problem of the
Western statesmen is to find
the ground on which an ac
comodation can be reached
with the revolutionary move
ments which now dominate so
much of Asia, and are reach
ing into Africa. That ground
is not easy to find. But Mr.
Dulles, it appears, is not ser
ously looking for it. He is too
busy, too tired, too discour
aged, too stale. What Mr. Dul
les is doing is to resist and
then to retreat, as Generals
do when they have no better
option than to fight. a series
of rear guard actions. '
It is beginning to look as
if the President, who has to
be carried along by his ad
visors, needs the help of some
fresher minds.

Russia Seen Pushing Red China
For World Power Recognition
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
UPI Correspondent
London (DPD There are
signs that the Communist bloc
is readying a full dress cam
paign to force recognition for
Red China as a world power.
, For years the Kremlin has
tried unsucessfully to get the
Chinese Nationalists booted
out of the United Nations.
Moscow wants their perma
nent Security Council seat
switched to Red China. -That
at least would insure that
Russia would not always find
herself in a minority of one
in that body.
But the Communist cam
paign now appears to be push
ing for something bigger.
Quite simply, Communist
China is trying to stake a
have been asked to join the
party.
The Peking talks were be
yond doubt an event .of the
utmost importance the kind
of event that positively de
mands to be interpreted. The
two points above, concerning
the language of the communi
que and the presence of the
Marshals, are the only solid
ground on which an interpre
tation can be based. But why
this sudden, extreme threat?
And what military topics were
the Marshals there to talk
about?
There is at least one intense
ly disagreeable but quite pos
sible answer to both questions.
The Marshals may have been
chatting about another at
tempt on Quemoy and the
Matsus the little off-shore
islands the Chinese Commu
nists threatened to take in
1954-'55.
THREE years have , passed
since the Kremlin switched
the Communist pressure-hose
from the Far East to the Mid
die East. By now, the pressure-
hose has pretty well washed
out every vital Western posi
tion in the Middle East. The
State Department is not ad
mitting it yet in public but
it has privately acknowledged
that Nasser's most recent sue
cess in Baghdad has at least
thoroughly undermined all the
positions that virtually seem
to remain, in Saudi Arabia,
in Jordan and Lebanon, and
in the Persian- Gulf Coast
sheikdoms.
In this same period, the
last three years, the balance
of terror has also been al
lowed to tilt periously far in
favor -of the Communist bloc.
And at the climax of this pe
riod, in the recent ' Middle
Eastern crisis, the Western
powers have talked big; but
they have also let their feeble
ness and lack of resolution
show alj. too plainly, between
the mouthfuls of big talk.
AH these parallel develop
ments have the utmost mean
ing for the very exposed posi
tions, like Quemoy and the
Matsus and Berlin too, for
that matter. Nothing what
ever has defended these posi
tions except the appearance
of American resoluteness plus
the balance of terror.
llHEN the Chinese Commu
" nists were last threaten
ing to seize the little islands
off Formosa, Secretary Dulle's
announced policy was to
"Keep them guessing" about
what our .response would be.
They do not need to guess
very hard now, to know that
the American government, in
the new and far more un
favorable balance of terror, is
not going to use H-bombs to
save Quemoy.
Since, then, moreover, the
Chinese Communists have;
completed every imaginable
military preparation for an
attack on the off-shore is-
"True friendship is ever fine and beautiful, but it is
not accomplished with handshaking. There must be an
exchange of something rich and sweet, something that
will enliven the heart with. happiness. There must be ,
some service, no matter how small, that will endure." .

claim for herself as a world
power with a finger in the
global politics pie.
Like it or not, the Russians
are having to push Peiping's
campaign. That appears to
have been one of the main
results of Nikita Khrushchev's
hush-hush conference with
Mao Tse-tung last week end.
Reds Warn Britain
The first tip-off on Red
China's new claims came early
in the Middle East crisis, The
British charge d'affaires in
Peiping was called in and
handed a note from the Chi
nese Communist government
ordering Britain to get out
of Jordan immediately and
warned that the results would
be "grave" if she did not.
Mystified British officials
wondered whether Red China
was planning a Far East diver
sion to help out Moscow at
a moment when both the
United States and Britain
were fully" occupied' in Leb
anon and Jordan. The more
pessimistic view was that
Red China might even launch
an attack against Hong Kong
or Formosa if the West be
came seriously involved mili
tarily in the Middle East.
But Peiping's move took on
a wider significance following
Khrushchev's visit to Mao.
The Soviet leader's note to
the. West on Tuesday killing
all prospects of a summit
meeting remarked pointedly
that the UJST. Security Coun
cil includes "instead of the
legitimate representatives of
the great Chinese people's re
public, the representative of
the political corpse, Chiang
Kai-shek."
Hints No Accident

One thing is certain these
pointed hints did not appear
in Khrushchev's notes by ac
cident. Diplomats here are
convinced they are the open
ing wedge in a new Soviet
drive for recognition of Red
China.
Taken in conjunction with
Peiping's "warning" to Brit
ain, they seemed also to indi
cate a new point of departure
in Red Chinese policy. Hither
to, the Chinese Communists
have shown direct interest in
world politics only where the
Far East was involved for
example, in Korea and Indo
china. Now they have pushed their
claims further afield into the
Middle East.
Editorial Comment
SHAKESPEARE
IN OREGON
William Shakespeare, great
est of all playwrights, never
heard of Ashland, but it's a
town that's continuing the
greatness of his name.
This is the month of night
ly performances which make
up the annual Oregon Shake
spearean Festival there. This
18th event includes 39 con
secutive performances of four
of Shakespeare's great plays,
King Lear, Much Ado About
Nothing, Troilus and Cressida
and Merchant of Venice.
For anyone who has not
seen one of the performances
at Ashland, it should be a
must. True, the plays appeal
mostly to the dilettantes of
the arts, but the experience
of seeing a slice of another
age and country makes it
worthwhile for even the cas
ual drama acquaintance.
Several staffers from The
News-Review attended the
festival on -its opening night
last week. From the annual
Feast of the Tribe of Will in
Lithia park to the outdoor
performance of "Much Ado
About' Nothing" the authen
ticity made me feel like I was
rubbing elbows with the Eliz
abethan in "merrie olde Eng
land." - Authenticity is the byword
of the festival, and it is be
cause of it that Ashland is
now a month-long cultural
center of the world, ranking
with Stratford, Shakespeare's
home town, and Salzburg.
The plays are presented
from an authentically con
structed stage in the Eliza
bethan manner. The audience
sits under the stars in a
sprawling enclosed area, sur
rounded by pennant bedecked
walls. Shakespearean students
from all over the country
take part in the 100 or more
roles involved in the rotation
of four plays.
Whether a' person is an art
lover or not, he will come
away from an interesting eve
ning with plenty- to talk
about. And a little culture
never hurt anyone, I found.'
I think it's a mark of dis
tinction that Oregon, a1 state
which is still considered by
many in the United States as
a place for cowboys and In
dians, should gain interna
tional note for its cultural
center in Ashland. Roseburg
