Mother Backs Auto, Runs Over Daughter St. Petersburg, Fla. flJPD Kim Kay Thoits, 15 months, was run over and killed Fri day by a car driven by her mother. Authorities said Mrs. Phil lip Thoits was backing the family auto out of the drive way when the child moved into her patlu Voters and Workers An appreciation of the unique, and perhaps just a wee twist of civic responsibility, led iis to "drop in" at the meeting Thursday night which was intended to name a "spare tire" candidate for district judge. It was unique in that it was the first such nominating convention called in Jackson county in the memory of most residents (perhaps the first ever). But it was far from unique in that not enough people were interested in a responsible judiciary to give up an hour or so of their time to select a candidate if needed. THE American voter that non-existent indi vidual who stands for a multitude has often been characterized as apathetic. Well, by and large it is true, "unless some bat tle or some issue gets him sufficiently riled up enough to go to a meeting, or vote in an election, or even write a letter to the paper. It is too easy for "the American voter" to let someone else take on the difficult chores of poli tics, and do the things that need to be done to keep our popular form of government function ing. THE Jack of enough people to make the nomi nating convention a success is not an isolated instance. It is a rare thing when more than a corporal's guard attends a meeting of the city council, or votes in a school election, or attends a "candi dates night" prior to an election. But, thank the Lord, there are a few dedicated souls who are sufficiently interested in public affairs to go to nominating conventions, to vote in school elections, and to leam about candidates at first hand. THESE are the people who will run for the city 1 council because they genuinely want to be of service to their community, or consent to serve on boards or commissions or committees for the same reason. And the same applies to the people who keep the wheels of partisan politics going. However much one may disagree with their political phil osophy, one cannot but admire their gumption and spirit in devoting their time and money to the cause in which they believe. These are the people who make democracy work. More power to them. But it should be remembered that this is gov ernment by minority resulting from the lack of interest of the majority. Let us hope that the minority which governs us continues to be responsible, thoughtful and dedicated to the best interest of all. E.A. Fort Clatsop Southern Oregon, with Crater Lake National park and Oregon Caves National monument, no longer has a monopoly on the National Park Serv ice which is a good thing. Congress in the session now drawing to a close voted to make Fort Clatsop a national memorial. It is the spot where Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1805-06, at the Pacific end of their epic trek across the North American continent a journey which first established the United States as a potential two-ocean power, and gave it a claim to the riches of the Pacific Northwest. The trip, ostensibly, was an exploration of the vast Louisiana Purchase, but it served the Am erican west as Columbus' voyage 300 years earlier served the western hemisphere, opening up a huge area for further exploration and settlement. w m w m PORT Clatsop National memorial will take its place as a major tourist attraction. It will include development of the area as a public park, laying out the tract of the old fort, and reconstructing the buildings to their original size and appearance. Perhaps more important, it will include dis plays of "living history" which should do much to stimulate people's appreciation of the west and what it has to offer. In purely economic terms, it will be of great benefit to Astoria and Clatsop county, in that some $300,000 will be spent on developing the park and museum by the Park service. And more important, it will serve to attract tourist dollars not only to that area but to the state as a whole. THE Oregon Statesman, in commenting on the plans, also points out the tourist lure, and adds: "(It marks) . . . the terminus of the route followed by these intrepid explorers from the Mississippi River at St. Louis, up the Missouri, across the Bitter Root mountains, down the Clearwater, Snake and Columbia rivers to the shore of the Pacific. This exploration along with the discovery of the Columbia river by Capt. Robert Gray in 1792, did much to clinch the . claim of the United States to the Oregon country. The memorial is a fitting one for this great achieve ment, and will become an important tourist attraction. "Astoria reeks with history: close to the mouth of the great river of the West which Gray discovered, close to Fort Clatsop, founded by the Astor fur traders, the one spot in the West "conquered" by the British in the War of 18,12, location of the first postoffice and customhouse, near Fort Stevens, the only fort on the continent shelled in the war with Japan, this park, along with the Astor column, will serve- as vehicle for exploiting the rich local history of the area." And, from a provincial viewpoint, Jackson, Josephine and Klamath counties should welcome this addition to the park system, for it will in evitably help increase the patronage of "our" national park and monument. E.A. Dennis the Menace SOLD' TO THE WAN HOLDING HIS HAND OVEf2 HIS LITTLfc BOYS MOUTH Matter of Fact ABOUT THE U. N. New York In the last fortnight the American gov ernment has used the United WTZwya Nat i o n s and used is the right word . to distract the country's attention from the total de feat of the Americ a n policy in the Middle East. Josepb Alsop any practical test, for example, the President's loudly touted speech to the General As sembly of the U. N. was a quite exceptionally unimpor tant event. The President looked well. He said what he had to say with vigor and ap parent conviction. He was re ceived with the applause that was due to his great post and his obvious good intentions. But in fact the President s speech, and the program it embodied, and the forthcom ing U. N. resolution that will probably endorse the Eisen hower program in a qualified way, are all equally meaning less. They will not save Jor dan or Lebanon from the, fate that hangs over them. They have not prevented Saudi Arabia from accepting Egyp tian suzerainty and this seems to be what the Saudi crown prince, Feisal, has just done in Cairo. They will not rescue Iraq. They offer" no protection against Nasser to Kuwait and the other oil sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf. PREVENTING Gamal Abdel Nasser's triumph in all these countries has been the sole object of America's Mid dle Eastern policy, ever since our government recovered from its strange orgy of smarty self -righteousness dur ing the Suez crisis. This American policy has now been shatteringly de feated, with incalculable fu ture effect. What ha happen ed here in the United Nations has not altered or diminished the defeat in any way at all. In a democracy, ugly but important facts that the coun try needs to understand and face ought not to be given a hucksterish cover - up. The U. N. has very obviously been exploited to provide a cover up in this instance. Hence it must be admitted that this re porter began his inquiry into the present goings-on at the U. N. in an unfriendly mood. 11HAT does one find, after " making such an inquiry? First of all, unhappily, 99 per cent of all the solemn things that are said and writ ten about the U. N. are pretty much drivel. The lack, of prac tical effectiveness of the President's speech to the General Assembly is only a Try and Hp -By BENNETT CERF- THE SUNDAY SCHOOL teacher had just told her young charges how Lot was warned to take his wife and flee from the city. "Lot's wife turned back," she concluded, "and was, , j i :n -U turned uuu a iuu ui an. "I don't care a bit about Lot's wife," confessed one student. "Tell us what hap pened to the flea."

Finnish? Not at all! Just divide the letters differ ently and what you'll come up with is: "Here is to champagne: a drink divine that makes us forget pur troubles. It is made of one dollar's worth of wine and four dollar's worth of bubbles."

I" By Joseph Alsop symbol of the lack of prac tical effectiveness of the whole process, which is al ways reported as though it were effective. By this, their own public opinion, the United Stages and the other Western powers may be hampered and ham strung by the decisions of the U. N. But the U. N.'s decis ions are meaningless to the Soviet Union, as Hungary proved. The U. N. will not stop Gamal Abdel Nasser for one moment, as present events in the Middle East are prov ing. The U. N. is even mean ingless, to the grand Peck sniffs of the modern world, the Indians, as is proven by the case of Kashmir. The U. N. can hurt us, in other words; but it is powerless to police or hurt any nation great or small that will not be policed. OUT this very fact that the 13 U. N. can hurt us still needs to be considered in the balance. For this reason it is worth having a sort of Lyn don Johnson of the United Nations in the person of Am bassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. The truth is that a double standard of international morality, typified by U. N. Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold, isnow an accep ted fact. Hammarskjold and the others like him ducked and dodged and pleaded and equivocated in order to avoid doing anything serious about the bloody massacre in Buda pest. But Hammarskjold and the others like him might well have joined to inflict a public humiliation on the United States because of the entirely bloodless, officially invited landing in Beirut. IIITH enormous efforts, " Lodge has probably 'av erted this kind of public hu miliation. This, is already something gained. Then the U. N. cover-up is positively convenient, when the great nations of the West have de cided not to stand by their friends any longer, and wish to put the best possible face on their decision to throw their friends to the wolves. In reality, "the United States has already abandoned its friends in Lebanon. The U. S. and Britain are also quite plainly preparing to abandon brave young King Hussein in Jordan. (Remem ber when we sent the Sixth Fleet, and the President de clared that Jordan's indepen dence was essential to the United States?) If such aban donments are unavoidable, it is no doubt better to transfer the onus to the local parlia ment of man. So much, unfortunately is all that any realistic man can say in favor of these strange U. N. goings-on. Stop Me T A rA HAPPENED Today Cr Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann THE UNHEEDED ALARMS A week ago Sen. John S. Kennedy made a powerful and impassioned speech about the predic tion, which is widely sup ported among experts, that within a few years the So viet Union will be far ahead of us in the big strategic mis- Walter Lippmann sues. The period of our in feriority is estimated to be from I960 to 1964 when the Soviet Union will, according to these estimates, have the power to destroy our Air Force and to devastate "85 per cent of our industry, 43 of our 50 largest cities." Sen. Kennedy's speech was applauded by the Democratic Senators who took part in the debate. But it was attacked by Sen. Capehart of Indiana who objected to it on the grounds that in such a public exposure Mr. Kennedy was selling America short and giving aid and comfort to the Russians. This charge was easily disposed of because the fact of the matter is that the speech contained nothing that could be news to the Rus sians, nothing hat has not been said publicly many times before. The most notable oc casion when it was said be fore was on Jan. 23 of this year, during this session of Congress, in the unanimous report of the so - called Pre paredness Sub-Committee. rpHIS sub - committee heard some 70 witnesses, inter viewed some 200 experts, and took about 7,000 pages of tes timony. It reported unani mously that the Soviet Union leads in ballistic missiles and in the number of submarines, that it will soon surpass "this country. in manned bombers. It reported too what is even more significant and portentous, that "the Soviet Union has a system-which en ables it to develop new weap ons in substantially less time than the United States," and that "the Soviet Union is producing scientists and tech nicians at a rate substantial ly greater than our own coun try." If this is true, the lead of the Soviet Union will in crease and the "gap" will not be closed. PERHAPS the most impor tant question raised- by Sen. Kennedy's speech is why, in view of the sub-committee report in January at the beginning of the session, he did not deliver this speech until Aug. 14 at the very end of the session. What has been Washington Report By William RULE OF REASON Washington The rule of law is in danger in Little Rock, but the rule of reason ic in Hanffpr in the national political com munity. Not often has the country seen a time when temper ate word and action were more needed. wmSSs: wEt? Not in recent times have all men noiaing any responsibility had a greater duty to have done with the knee-jerk reactions of emotionalism. These are the conclusions of some of the most elevated people in Washington in both parties. These people are not panicky; but they are very worried. The harsh complications of the racial issue have for the first time produced the most perilous of all situations to common sense. For the first time, the two extremes are meeting not by intention but in effect. 0RVAL FAUBUS in Arkan sas has declared the Su preme Court's school integra tion decision to be "unconsti tutional." He has thus, as gov ernor of a single state, assert ed an interpretive power over the Federal Constitution which that Constitution itself has given only to the court. Sen. Paul H. Douglas of Il linois, a civil rights leader, has attempted to have the United States Senate express its "full support and appro val" of the court's decision. This is only the other side of the Faubus coin. Governor Faubus was plac ing himself above the Su preme Court of the United States. Senator Douglas, in his later withdrawn move to "de fend" that court, was hard ly less thoroughly attacking its integrity. Some of his lib eral colleagues, notably Sen. Richard L. Neuberger of Ore happening between January, when the alarm was sounded, and August when Mr. Ken nedy sounded it again? What happened, it is plain enough, is that the failure to respond to the alarm was in both par tie!", and that there is no dis cernible difference between the attitude of the Eisenhow er administration and that of the Democratic opposition. A few Democratic Senators have made speeches which are on the record but the party as an organization has reacted to the warning as the President himself has re acted. The bi-partisan reaction to the discovery that the Soviet Union is forging ahead in the race of armaments has been governed, I think, by the hu man propensity to prefer a disagreeable fact which is still in the future to a dis agreeable remedy in the pres ent. The danger period, ac cording to these calculations, will not begin for at least two years. The remedial measures to cope with it ought to have been laid down in this session of Congress. The bi-partisan leadership has avoided the disagreeable remedies, hop ing that somehow the alarm ing predicitions of Sens. Sym ington, Jackson, and Ken nedy, and of Mr. Joseph Al sop, will not come true. FDEED, so far as I know, there does not exist an agreed program of what the disagreeable remedies are Mr. Kennedy made a few sug gestions but he offered no program, and although the Democratic opposition is very critical of President Eisen hower, there is no alternative Democratic program before the country. Why is it like that? I think it is because the real problem the relative ly greater speed of Soviet technological development canot be overcome by a spending program alone. It would be quite easy to push Congress into new and bigger expenditures. But what the experts call the missile lag is essentially a weakness in American education and a lack of seriousness in Ameri can national purposes, when there is choice between pri vate pleasures and the public interest. We are ' in competi tion with a new society which is in deadly earnest, and there is no use pretending that amidst our comforts and our pleasures, we are serious enough. That is why, when the alarms are sounded, we turn over and go to sleep again, (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. S. While gon, tried in vain at the be ginning so to persuade him. For if the Senate has the right to "approve," or in ef fect to ratify, a specific de cision of the court, it has an obvious right also to "dis approve" one. This is perhaps most of all why President Eisenhower himself has persistently resist ed all efforts to force him not merely to promise to enforce the court's decree but to a"ap prove" it. IN THIS, whatever his fail ures of leadership else where on the racial issue, the President is standing upon what some here see as the only possible constitutional ground. He is refusing to raise the smallest suggestion that it is his business either to ap prove or disapprove. It is his business only to enforce. These are not merely the views of those often dismissed in the prevailing climate as mere "moderates." These are also the views of some of the most devoted of all the advo cates of all-out civil rights and of all-out enforcement. Some are Senators from New England, which has his torically not been notably "soft" upon Southern denial of Negro rights. Some are Democrats; some are Republi cans. But wherever they come from and whatever their party they are working rea sonably, they are the true re sponsibles. They are not try ing to "let Faubus get away with it" and again defy Fed eral court orders. They are trying instead to support the President's power and duty to maintain order in Litle Rock if he must. But they are backing a sensible use of that power. way.

TUGMAN Southern Oregon news papers have been romping with both feet on a recent Orgonian- proposal that the Ashland Shakespearean festi-. val be transferred to Port land for the 1959 Centennial. We would not be disposed to join in the uproar except for one thing: Some editors, notably Bill Tugman of the Port Umpqua Courier, have been building what was simp ly a thought dreamed up on a dull day by one writer into a Portland community plot to steal the Ashland festival. We remind Editor Tugman that the Oregonian is not Portland, and we know of no community ambition to re move the festival from its lovely Ashland setting. The fact is, the Centennial commission is striving to pro mote and encourage as many activities about the state as it can during the Centennial year. This is all the more rea son to keep the Ashland festi val where it is and where it belongs. Far from wanting to "raid Ashland", thousands of Port landers are glad to make the trek to that part of the state for the purpose of combining the cultural feast which the festival offers with the recrea tional enjoyment available in the' surrounding area. - Tugman belittles the sup port which Portland has giv en to the festival. Perhaps he writes out of an ingrown anti Portland bias. We'll wager every Ashland audience in cludes a generous sprinkling of Portlanders. The festival is always well publicized in Portland. Our own drama edi tor, Arnold Marks, has en joyed excellent relationships with the festival organization for many years. Above all, it ought to be impressed on the mind of every southern Oregon resi dent, there is no Portland plot to steal the festival. We like it where it is.

He is the killer who confessed to the robbery murder for which James F. Foster, a house painter, had previously been convicted and sentenced to death. The real killer's con fession saved Foster's life in a dramatic story that was told in the news a few weeks ago. That Georgia court might no doubt have sentenced the real killer to the death pen alty it had previously pre scribed for an innocent man, but evidently had a good les son regarding the horrible mistakes that can occur where capital punishment is legal. This change of sentence by a Georgia judge might be worthy of note by Oregoni ans who will vote in Novem ber on a measure to abolish the death penalty. Astorian Budget, Astoria. enforce integration orders? The President will be under heavy pressure from these re sponsibilities, if Little Rock again erupts in violence, to make use of this civil alterna tive before again resorting to the military one. If he is wise, it is felt among some of his well-wishers inside and outside Con gress, he will at least make the attempt this time if the new legal breathing spell at length produces final and re sisted orders for integration at once.

Inc.) say, but we were a bit startled lo learn of a young couple who had just brought their first - born home from the hospital when a little neighbor girl was over inquiring about baby-sitting opportunities. Bill Bigham, known as 'Uncle Bill" to hundreds of 4-H'ers, was reminiscing the other day as the 4-H, FFA fair got under way, of how, long ago, a posse of county fair officials chased a Die through the center of town. That was in the days when Xhe fair was put on in tents m what is now the city park next to the library. He also recalls that on another occasion he helped chase a wild steer around the bases in the ball-park adja cent to the present fair grounds. If that had happened this year, and if the steer had been a cow, what an adver tisement that would be for the Dairy Maids ball team! Weather comment over heard Thursday morning: "Fog? in Aug.?" , Back in the barnstorming days of flying, an eager young pilot was out to es tablish a cross-country speed record in his light plane. As he was flying along, his mo tor suddenly quit, and the plane spiralled gently down and came to rest on top of a large apple tree. The farmer came rushing out as the pilot climbed down with a dis gusted lok on his face. "Hurt?" the farmer asked. "Nope," said the pilot. "Then why're you looking so disgusted?" asked the farmer. "I had a chance to set a new record and look what happened," the pilot replied. "Well," said the farmer, "the way I look at it, you just did set a new record. First time I ever heard of anyone climbing down out of an apple tree without climbing up into it first." The committee studying state taxes, when it met here, heard a tax collector explain how people- with taxes amounting to $5 or so insist on paying them in Installments. - One of the legislators, with a bemused look on his face, was heard to mutter. "I'm surprised to learn that ANYONE has a tax bill of less than $10." Another -tax committee story, gleaned from an up state paper, is to the effect that when members visited this area they drove over to Ashland and saw "The Mer chant of Venice" the one where Shylock insists on his pound of flesh. AH" of which, we are told, started bystanders wondering if the tax boys were there to pick up a couple, of new ideas about collections. Members of the county welfare department occas ionally receive gifts of old clothes, which they pass along to some ' of their needy clients. One of the workers in that office went on vacation recently, and. forgetfully, left his or her coat hanging in the hall. Another employee saw i thought it was a donation, and cheerfully gave it away, we. are told on good authority. A merchant we know, who caters to feminine customers, and who has a wealth of ex perience, has spelled out eight reasons why women buy things. (There are others, he is sure, but he has these fig ured out.) Here they are: Because her husband says she can't have it. Because it will make her look thin. Because herfieighbors can t afford one. Because she can't afford one. Because Paris. ' Because it comes from everybody's got one. Because no one's got one, Because. -What makes him think a woman needs ANY reason, is what we want to know. A man who recently re turned from a visit to the World's Fair in Belgium told a friend of ours who told us that the American exhibit there is far the most popu lar, and for junt one reason: The toilets are free. Our friend says, "I don't know that we'll win a war with such tactics, but it seems, from his comments, we are winning a lot of friends." Plumbing may solve the problem of co-existence yet. t . -
