FIRST IN SAFETY Alameda, Calif. (UPD Workers at the Listo pencil company plant here are hang ing up an industrial safety record that may be hard to top. The factory has gone 10 years without a single acci dent that forced a worker to miss a day on the job, according-to the California Depart ment of Industrial Relations. The Cheaters It's positively amazing how many ways some people can think up to cheat other people. This sad thought came to mind the other day as we inspected just one issue of the bulletin "Facts," published by the Portland Better Busi ness Bureau. The' publication had only four pages, but in it was contained information on a wealth of sneak ery, semi or whole-hearted crookedness, and just plain cussedness. WITNESS: v ' A promoter sold "advertising" space to a group of busy businessmen in a publication pur portedly connected with a major festival in a large city. It turned out to be a tiny, poorly printed leaflet, giving "meager street and transit" infor mation, while the rest of it contained the "ads" the businessmen paid for, reduced to small size. The BBB commented, ". . . if you insist on hand ing your money to promoters of dubious schemes, in all fairness to legitimate media, don't charge it to advertising' because it isn't." - A fake door-to-door salesman (who may be operating in Oregon now) has a record in Califor nia of claiming to represent an unnamed company which is conducting a survey of viewer reaction to TV shows, and "rewards" the participant by "giv ing him a set of encylopedias, or a color TV set." He then proceeds to collect the "tax" or "shipping costs" which vary from $5 to $12 and prom ises delivery of the gift within a week. It never shows up, and all the participant has to show is a receipt with a phoney name but no address, no company name, and no explanation. N OUTFIT in the east has sent a series of " mailings to WPst. rnnsf-. hiisiripssrnori cnliitinnr their "listing" and or ad in a "directory," which the BBB says "may or may not be published, and if it is, is likely to enjoy very limited distribution." Cost of the listing alone in one such scheme was $18.75; ad prices ranged upward, one for a single column, 3-mch ad was $97.50.

A NOTHER warning was issued to would - be vending machine buyers. The BBB said, "A survey conducted by the National Better Business .Bureau reveals that 95 per cent of those persons who buy such machines lose all or most of their money." A man in Virginia rretends t.n hnvp nmvoi waiting, or that someone may be a missing heir, in order to obtain information which could be used in identifying or collecting from a debtor methods which the Federal Trade Commission has stopped or is now investigating. And here is the BBB -report on how "short change artists" can work: "One of a pair of men busies a clerk by pretending to be interested in a purchase. The other follows in and asks the cashier if she can give him a $20 bill for 20 one dollar bills. When she agrees, he hands her a wad of ones, takes the twenty, and appears to place it in an envelope which he seals and makes some com ment about sending it to his mother! "At that point it develops that there were only 19 ones he is sorry about this, says he will go and get another hands the cashier the envelope to hold, takes his $19 and says he will be back in just a few minutes. "You've guessed it, of course he doesn't come back and the envelope is empty. It's an old trick, true enough, but there can always be some new victims." TTHESE, of course, are only samples of the du plicity which can be, and is, used to make a quick buck. There are others phoney roof-repair men; salesmen of phoney "Irish lace"; magazine sales men who attempt to trade on the name of a vet erans organization or (in one recent case locally) the March of Dimes; peripatetic photographic studios, which seldom render a dollar's worth of service for a dollar; uniform salesmen who take an order and a "down payment" for a uniform which never appears and so on and so on. One of the worst, in some ways, is the "ad vance fee racket," where a man assures a pros pective seller of real estate that he can advertise the property in a way which practically will guar antee a sale, and accepts a fee in advance for it. When nothing happens he still insists on payment sometimes substantial amounts for the "ad vertising" which may or may not have been per formed. Recent cases in Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass have involved amounts of money ranging up to $700. A legitimate advertising salesman never guarantees specific results, nor does a legitimate real estate broker accept ad vance fees. The moral is just this : Be on your guard, and when in doubt, patronize local people who have a stake in the community, and a sense of decency and honesty.

IT WAS JUST UF&UARQSJfg&UXly Matter of Fact EISENHOWER. 1958 , Washington Press con ferences in Washington, in cluding Presidential press con- tW ferences com monly pro duce head lines without solid news un der them. KT X 1 4 ft ft. 1 WS "- Jri M matters, facts tnat count, generally have to be jni.h Aison aug i o r or fought for; and for these rea sons this reporter almost never goes to press confer ences. The President's last press conference the first in over a month was no ex ception to the foregoing rule. But I went all the same, main ly because I had not seen one of these performances in some years. The impressions left by the experience were sad and negative, but perhaps they are worth recording all the same. Beginning, then, at the be gining, any one whose private Eisenhower-image is the vig orously striding, easily smil ing, richly self-confident Ei senhower of the past is bound to be a little shocked by the Eisenhower of today. I had seen him recently only at the NATO meeting in Paris, where he so bravely played his part after his stroke. I had been told that he was al together different now from what he was then, when one wanted to cheer his every sen tence as a courageous act of will. CERTAINLY" he is different. He seems an altogether well man, now. But he also seems what he never used to seem an old man who is a little tired. The extraordin ary mobility of that extraor dinary face has been partly lost. The smile is more mech anical. The eyes are less vivid ly blue. And especially when you see the face in profile, yon are suddenly struck by the way all the lines go down. Since the President' is near ing 68 and holds down the most taxing job in the world, this change in his appearance woulld not be very surpris ing, even if he had not suf fered the severe illnesses from which he has recovered so well. But there is another thing that strikes you, too something more intangible, less easy to pin down, but per haps more important than the inevitable signs of age. You are struck by the diminution of the curious, almost magical power that Eisenhower once had. This strange Eisenhower power, it has always seemed to me, was best summed up by a trifling experience of my own. It happened just af ter he had been named NATO Supreme Commander. I had an errand in the Pentagon and I was walking along the corridor when the General in his glory burst out of the Secretary of Defense's office, at the head of a hurrying re tinue of aides and escort of ficers. We' were friends in those days. I congratulated him on his post, and he all but pinned me to the corridor wall, and gave me a five-minute answering lecture while the, aides and escort officers tapped their impatient feet. THE theme of the lecture was simply America's role in the free world, and his own deep satisfaction, to have been asked to serve as a principal embodiment of A m e r i c a's leadership of the cause of free dom. The syntax, as usual, was tangled. What he said was platitudinous enough, al though the sentiments were virtuous. But for a moment he made those copybook-platitudes sound like great truths, eternal and profound, worthy to be inscribed in letters of fire on the arch of heaven 5o , I 1 L4YIN' AXOUm ON TOP OF TUB By Joseph Alsop itself. When he set off on his tour of the pentagon I must confess I was left with rather a chokey feeling. I kept thinking of that long past experience at this press conference. The President had been well-briefed. Jim Hag erty must have been pleased. Even the question about Sher man Adams and the White House secretaries who took Goldfine's checks evoked no more than a short, bright flush of anger. The questions that could be answered fact ually were as aptly answered as ever. The essential good ness of the man's intentions was just as apparent as ever. The platitudes of today were not really different from the platitudes of the past. On the bitter question of school in tegration in the South, for example: "I keep preaching that there must be some wisdom, some sense of civic duty in accordance with the princi ples which have been laid out for a citizen of this country." BUT now unhappily the platitudes did not sound as though they ought to be inscribed in letters of fire. They did not sound, either, like prefaces to fruitful, posi tive action. They sounded, rather, like the words a man speaks about great and pain ful problems which he is not sure how to- tackle. At the ena of the confer ence, the President admitted that the problems were press ing in upon him much more heavily nowadays than they ever did in the past "I think there are more of them," he said, "And I don't know whether it is just because I notice them more, or because there actually are more." But of coures it is true there are many more problems now. For this deeply good man has been wonderfully lucky all his life; but now, his luck has turned; and so, alas, has the luck of the United States, (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune, Inc. Communications Is It Fair? To the Editor: Please print this as an open letter to the Medford city council. Members of the city coun cil, we have noticed in the paper the publicity the con tractor has received about the new paint job on our city hall. In the past, whenever civic organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts or other charitable institutions wanted a free paint job or some other type of work donated, they come to the members of the building trades. Union shops and contractors have gladly donated equipment and mater ials, which is as it should be, as a matter of civic pride and duty. But whenever they want to buy some labor, as in the case of repainting the city hall, they put the bids out among the local contractors, who spend their time and effort to make a legitimate bid, and then they give the bid to a non-union shop who hires non union labor, and then see fit to be proud of it. To. add salt to the wound the painter's local, in the last two days, has been asked to supply painters and equip ment to paint the Little The atre in our new West Side Park. Now we ask you, would you in our place feel obligated to furnish equipment and men for city and county recreation al facilities under these cir stances? We leave it up to you as members of the City Council, do vou believe this is fair? S. W. Kiel for the Officers of Local Union No. 1124 Brother hood of Painters, Decor ators and Paperhangers of America Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann NOW THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Having disagreed on how they might meet face to face in a closed meeting, Mr. Eis enhower and Mr. Khrush chev find them selves agreeing that there should be a spectacu lar meeting of Gene ral As sembly where oito r tt Vi r A it Walter & " J " " " Lippmann Will confront everyoody in a public meet ing. The previous proposals for a summit meeting Khrush chev's, de Gaulle's. Macmil- lan's and Eisenhower's had one thing in common. This was the idea that there should be some opportunity for pri vate discussion and perhaps negotiation, even though there was sure to be a great deal of public propaganda. But now we have to have a gigantic spectacle which is entirely propaganda, and we have to pretend that we like it. The only visible advantage is that the President is under no compulsion to attend the meeting and that Mr. Khrush chev may decide not to attend. The summit conference which we have never wanted has been for the moment avoided, and we have accepted instead a rough and tumble oratori cal bout. f)UR problem is to prevent this session of the General Assembly from being a public trial of the British and Ameri can military intervention in Lebanon and Jordan. This is what Mr. Khrushchev says he wants and, according to Mr, Dulles's press conference last week, the case for the defense which we shall present has been decided upon and is being worked out. The official American position seems to be that, having been widely criti cized even in friendly coun tries, we welcome the chance to explain and to vindicate publicly our actions in the Middle East. . This is an optimistic view. Possibly, it may turn out that ivir. j-ioage ana ivir. uuiies can win a vedict in the General Assembly. But it will not be prudent to rely too much on the logic of our case and" on the eloquence and magnetism of Secretary Dulles, or even of President Eisenhower. In the General Assembly we do not have a working majority in our favor. We do not have the two - thirds necessary on any important issue, even if we can win the support of all the American republics and of all of Western Europe and of the old commonwealth states, Australia, New Zea Washington Report By William LATIN PROBLEM Washington Our relation ship with Latin America is no longer merely unsatisfac tory. It is now highly dan gerous. And a time when we may be driven' back to a depend ence on this hemisphere, a situation we have never i x illam s vvrnl Known Deiore. Such unpleasant factors as these underlie the hurried arrangements being made for a so-called "summit confer ence" of the 21 American presidents. All the same, this forth coming allrAmerican consul tation offers hope along with significant problems. But we will fail in grasp ing our opportunties unless we have a far better sense of the nature of these problems. Administrations in Washing ton always 4end to misunder stand the people to the south. But few Administrations have so failed in understand ing as has the Eisenhower ad ministration. It runs its hem isphere policy like a Cham ber of Commerce. TWO high-voltage missions have gone to Latin America for the President. Vice President Richard M. Nixon's sortie was disastrous ly revealing. It produced the clearest demonstration that hatred of the United States had reach a new pitch some of it Communist hatred, yes, but not all of it by a long way. The President's brother, Dr. Milton Ensenhower, has now returned with a sense of urgency at the state - of af fairs. What he has to propose, however so far as has been publicly indicated is not re assuring. He is talking mainly . of providing "bankable loans" to the Latin Americans. But land and Canada, and of our client states in Asia. The General Assembly, as it is now composed, is a very unfavorable forum in which to justify intervention by Brit ish and American forces in two Asian countries. CJO IT is important that in J nrerjarine for the Assem bly, the diplomats rather than the litigators and the argufiers should take the lead ing part. One place to begin is to stop building up the size and power of our. military forces in Lebanon and instead to begin reducing them. The newly elected President of Lebanon is going to ask us to leave, and the sensible thing to do is to begin leaving be fore we are asked. We do not need 15,000 troops to protect Mr. Chamoun, for the few weeks ihe has a legal right to remain in office. Moreover, it would be a good idea to use our diplomatic influence in Beirut to persuade Mr. Cha moun to leave the country now and to take a holiday abroad. Then, we could order the withdrawal of all our troops before the General As sembly meets. The problem of extricating the British from Jordan is much more difficult. But there is not much doubt that a way must be found to extri cate them. For the 2,000 para troopers in Amman may be enough to protect the king from assassination, but they will never be able to make of Jordan a viable and indepen dent kingdom. Sooner or later, but not much later, the para troopers and the king will have to leave, and Jordan, as a separate and sovereign state, will disappear. . THE great question Is wheth er Jordan is to be trans formed into some kind of neu- tralized territory under the United Nations, or whether it is to be broken up violently at the risk of a very probable war between the united Arabs and Israel. This is a question which ought to be discussed private ly and with great seriousness at a summit meeting. Mr Khrushchev is making propa ganda when he talks about military plots against Iraq as rnnstitutins? the danger of war. But here in Jordan, though nobody wants it, there does exist a very real danger nf war. London and Washington will fail lamentably to do their duty if they are unready to so into the General As sembly with a constructive plan for Jordan, as well as with tangible evidence of our withdrawal from Lebanon, (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. S. White easily negotiable bank drafts are not what is needed most. The greatest need is an eas ily negotiable friend ship among equals of the United States and the rest of the hemisphere. This country has no reason to feel guilty in its economic relationships with the Latin Americans.- Though they are having their troubles, their trade with us multiplied six times while Western Europe lay in the ruins of World War II. THUS, all solutions based on the assumption that most everything can be put right with money are going to fail. So, too, will all solu tions based on the notion that we shall automaticaUy be popular once . we cease supporting any regime open to the charge of dictatorship. We are not going to close the gulf until we grasp this central, human fact: The peo ple of Latin America are in deed Latins. They are not "Americans" in our defini tion of the word. Entirely apart from their resentment of past exploitations by Yan kee corporations, the Latinos simply don't share our na tional enthusiasm for either bigness or business. The development from Mexico to Chile of an image of the United States as the home of an authentic and un commercial culture would do us more good than all the economic aid projects that could be assembled from now to Christmas after next. No Latin American regime, not even the most "demo cratic," rests on the broad popular consent theory on which our own government is based. An emerging intel lectual elite is the true base of power. One man's vote may be worth 10 times, or a hundred times, that of anoth er in terms of real influence.

His easiest road to bigness is to become the ruler of the Arab world That is his present objective. He will stop at nothing to ACHIEVE his objective.

Keep your eye on this man Murphy. For days and days he has been gunning for an interview with Nasser. He cooled his heels in waiting roms. But he finallv eot his interview. It lasted four hours. Coming away from it, he told the re porters: "Our four -hour dis cussion was very thorough, very friendly and, from my point of view VERY SATIS FACTORY." Robert Murphy is a PRAC TICAL diplomat. He talks common sense, and people listen to him. IITHAT of the Arab world?

CHANGING the subject The Federal Prison Bu reau reports this morning that more U.S. adults were in prison at the end of last year than EVER BEFORE IN HIS TORY. HMMMMM. Is that bad? Or is it good? Maybe, as a people, we're getting worse -and worse and because we are getting worse and worse more of us are landing in jail. That would be bad. ' " But It MIGHT be that our courts and our law enforce ment agencies are getting BETTER AND BETTER and as a result more of us who ought to be in jail are getting clapped into jail. That would be on the good side. an effective appeal to the Latin American masses. To win friends effectively, we must win the elite. This elite is essentially European in its attitudes of. life. And it is es sentially liberal, as the term is understood here, in its political view. As in many parts of Eu rope, men in Latin America are extremely well educated or simply not educated at all. There is no intellectual mid dle class. The weU-educated are controlling. And they de mand a, cultured, urbane" sympatico a Spanish word meaning "sympathy" and a bit more than that.

Up to now he has: . Washed his car. . Bought a new swimming suit. Ordered reserved seats to a baseball game. Gone on a picnic, planned days in advance.

Well, keep the doors lock ed." We drove up the Applegats river almost to Copper last Sunday, and all along the way we saw people some pic nicking, some swimming, some fishing, some just being lazy in the shade. But, at every available spot where there was access to the river, there were peo ple. The point, however, is that these spots were fairly few and far between, and in between them there were long stretches of barbed wire fence, many of them marked with "No Tresspassing" signs. There are a few publicly- owned recreational spots on the river, but darn few, 'so the citizens and taxpayers of the county have to make-do with what they can. All of which lends point to a true story we've been told about a new artificial lake which was created by the bu reau of reclamation in Idaho. Somebody goofed, and no pro vision for recreational use of the lake was made. One large cattle outfit leased, a section of the lake-front, and kept a mounted and armed cowboy on patrol there to drive off any fishermen or thers who came within gunshot of that section.
