Portlander Fined As Result of Fight Portland -UPD Daniel St oi ler, 27, was fined $50 Thurs day in Municipal Court as the result of a fight which reportedly arose from a re cent walkout at the Portland plant of the . American Can company. Stoller, an employee of the company, was found guilty of assault and battery by Muni cipal Judge J. J. Murchison. Harold Bradley, another employee, claimed Stoller broke his nose during the fight. - ' Unpaid Public Service - One of the oldest traditions in America is that of unpaid public service. ' . . , In many cities across the country, the policy makers mayor and council are elected to un paid jobs. Most of the bodies which attend to the many chores of public administration, the boards of this and commissions of men and women who have accepted appoint ment to difficult jobs without any expectation of financial remuneration. The same pattern is repeated on a state and national level, and in all fields of governmental endeavor. , 1UHY do people do this? Perhaps some are motivated by the pres tige involved. There is a m serving on a public body. A few, of course, do it for self-seeking rea sons. It may help their their law practices, or influence which can react to their benent. But after years of watching the unpaid public servants at work, for the cities, counties, special districts, state and federal governments, we are thoroughly convinced number serve from a service to do part of the our. government "of, by and lor the people functioning. rESPITE this honorable tradition of public service, the public as ciative of the sacrifices and dimcuities involved. Probably this is natural. This nation, as a mutter nf fact, came' to be established in laree measure as a result of ments against government. - Arbitrary decrees of government have always brought violent reactions of one sort or another, and there seems to be an ingrained distrust, with a few exceptions, of men who have assumed positions of responsibility and autnonty. The Coos Bay World recently speculated about this very , thing based on the action of members of the city council at Coquille. It said: "The county seat's mayor and two of its three councilmen whose terms expire this year declared they would not stand for reelection. Although their reasons were stated somewhat differently, they all boiled down to this: After varying years of unpaid public service, they were disillusioned; their hours of hard work for the public did little but make them enemies." ' ." IT IS TRUE that the unpaid public servants do come in for a lot of abuse and very little praise ; that their motives are suspected more than they are understood; that the times when the public takes an interest in what is going on are the times when they rise up 'against" something they feel is against their interests. Over the years we have seen public-spirited men (putting in hours unpaid jobs, often at considerable financial sac rifice, and doing it with no ax to grind) called little dictators, Hitlers, who seldom take the trouble to attend the meet ings, the hearings, the ferences that go into making decisions on public matters. As a matter of fact, as not are made by those who haven't even, read the stories in the newspapers which explain the reasons for the disputed actions. BY AND LARGE, however, the unpaid public things. They realize that not everyone can be familiar with all the problems with which they deal, day by day. And they find that, with prac tice, they can usually shrug off, or laugh off, the unfounded criticisms that come their way. Snmp. nf them even find the criticisms useful. in that they make them about the implications 01 what tney are doing, and give them a deeper realizatifin that they are, in fact, representing the people. It is easy to say and is in part true that "tbev nslcpH for it" in accentine: a rmblic trust. "Rut unthinking- and unfounded criticism doesn't make their jobs any easier, nor does it make it anv easier to find worthy successors. Nor does it make their memories after they-have left public service memories which by right should be pleasant and prideful any pleasanter. E.A: Kinds of Criticism . The above comments are not intended to indi cate that public servants paid or unpaid should be immune from criticism. One of Amer ica's other traditions is to place its public men in a peculiarly vulnerable position regarding criti cism, and protecting the critic when he sounds off. The principle is found in law as well as custom. But there is a vast difference between unin formed and vindictive criticism, and the kind which is based on fact and on public policy. , THE latter, indeed, is one of the foundation- stones of effective public administration. It is the basis of two-party government. It is the right, even duty, of public spirited citizens to speak out against men in authority if and wjien they conscientiously believe that something is wrong. It takes a special brand of courage to stand up and challenge the actions of public officials on a sound basis far more courage than it does to sound off irresponsibly and "just for effect." One is responsible citizenship; the other is irresponsible trouble-making. Unhappily, once in a while it is difficult to tell the difference, at first.

BYRNE UPI Corrspondent Portland, Maine -(DPD Mon day's earlybird election will provide the last opportunity for political prophets to test the old saying: "As Maine goes, so goes the nation." The saying has been ridi culed on many occasions, such as the year that Democrats r em a r k e d cynically: . "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont."

Scientists Back Up Claims Of Leadership Geneva (DPD American scientists today presented to the atoms-for-peace confer ence dramatic laboratory re ports to back up their claims of being a year ahead of the Russians in fusion research. The Americans submitted a flood of papers detailing new studies on the possibilities of harnessing hydrogen power for peace, a subject which continued to dominate the assembly of 5,000 . scientists from 69 nations. Leadership Claimed The Russians also present ed more papers on the same subject. The claim the United States was a year ahead of the Russians in fusion research was made Thursday by Dr. Raymond Bell and his col leagues at Oak Ridge, Tenn. They are in charge of Amer ica's DCX machine, which is considered to have come closest to achieving a fusion reaction. The Russians have a far larger machine operating on the same principle, but Bell said they had inferior means for introducing hydrogen gas into the chamber and decided to adopt the American method. The American and Russian machines are designed to create "magnetic bottles," in side which thin hydrogen gas can be contained at tempera tures of many millions of de grees to achieve an energy re leasing reaction similar to that of the sun.

Frederick G. Payne was one of a host of politicians on Goldfine s eift and euest list. Maine has voted to abandon its September election day in the 1960 balloting. The early vote was a product of the horse-and-buggy days when November weather was more of an obstacle than in this day of the automobile. Two vears hence, Maine will vote in No vember with the other states Flexible Mood The last of the September elections finds Maine in a flex ible mood politically. Demo cratic Gov. Edmund S. Muskie ended 20 years of Republican rule in Augusta in 1954, re peated in 1956 and now is gunning for the job of Senator Payne, long one of the state's most popular office holders. Two years - after Muskie won the governorship for the Democrats. Frank M. Coffin became Maine's first Demo crat i c congressman in 20 years. Coffin seeks re-election to the Second . District seat against GOP challenger Neil Ss. Bishop. . The race this year for eov ernor is between Republican Horace A. Hildreth, who held the job from 1945 to 1948. and Democrat Clinton A. Clauson.

Democrats Charges of Reckless By RAYMOND LAHR UPI Correspondent Washington (DPD Demo crats are ready " with then answer to Republican charges that a free-spending Demo cratic congress has saddled the government with a record peacetime deficit. They will say, "blame the recession, not us," and sup port their answer with testi mony from one of the chief spokesmen for the Eisen hower administration. The Democratic argument is that the business slump is bringing a drastic cut in ex pected tax income and that the fall-off in revenue is causing most of the estimated 12 billion dollar deficit. When President Eisen hower presented his budget last January, it was approxi mately in balance at 74 bil lion dollars for this fiscal Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible.

" Everyone's To Blame To the Editor: All teen agers are not juvenile delinquents Most if not all teen agers get into some kind of trouble when growing up. Medford's big problem is that there is nothing nor any place for the teen ager to go or do. You had a-roller skating rink. Old, yes. But what was built in the same spot? A juvenile de tention home. Right then you should have known something was wrong. Lots of you are praymg your children don't get into any serious trouble, but what are you doing to prevent it? Next to nothing. Maybe a picture show. Your chief of police says, there're parties with drinking and dancing in private homes. He's probably right, too. But what has he done to prevent it? I don't mean a traffic ticket for dual pipes and red lights, I mean decent sports and entertain ment, and decent teen ager clubs so they can dance open ly. You think you really uncov ered something. Believe me, you have, and I wouldn't be a bit proud of it. Just how relaxed can a city get before it goes to sleep? Medford and the Rogue Val ley could 1 have at least 20 baseball teams and 20 Softball teams and tournaments, golf, etc., for teen agers. In plain straight words, you as an adult are too busy think ing of yourself and your own benefit to help them out. Re member 15 to 20 are about the hardest years in your life. You're not a- child and you're not grown up. A little confi dence and help can go a long way. Bend over backward if necessary. Don't think the Medford Tribune is going to get off easy .with me. Being a daily paper and read by almost everyone in the Rogue valley, they could do a lot to help if they'd stick their neck out a little. Read a lot about the Suffering Pacific, now let's get busy with some thing right here at home. I know that no one or two people can do much about a situation like this, but where are all these smart politicians and educated and rich people we got around here? Oh, I see, it's none of their busi ness. Then who in hell's is it? You can find the trouble, ar rest, make the laws and build detention homes, but cant do anything to help stop it. Should be someone around here to get the ball rolling in the other direction. A lot of people will say I'm crazy. Probably right, too, but I'm not stupid. Orville Bunn .

The Treasury now estimates spending up about five bil lion from that figure and revenue - down about seven billion, with a resulting 12 billion deficit. A Major Issue With plenty of help from the president, the GOP has made it clear that the spend ing record of the Democratic controlled congress will be a big issue in the 1958 election campaign. Their argument is that the Democrats can't be trusted with the taxpayer's money. . The Democrats believe there is still political mileage to be gained from' the recession it self, since it came under a Republican Administration. Now they will enjoy pointing to it as a major cause for the Treasury's troubles. They can quote testimony "Cannonball." The picture of this engine and train is de scribed by the S. P. Co. as follows: ' "The first regular passen ger train of the Oregon and California Railroad Co. to Ashland from Portland in May, 1884. D. McCarthy was engineer of the locomotive 22.

James Porter, fireman, is at the front of the engine. The man in the cab is thought to be Joe Marshall who was then engine wiper at Ashland and later an engi neer at Sacramento.

Teamsters Delay Decision To Call New Convention Washington -(DPD-The Team sters Union executive board has put off until Sept. 16 a decision whether to call a new union convention and election of officers. The board's decision came Thursday following a disclos ure by teamster President James R. Hoffa that he fa vored such a convention. Hoffa's convention move was viewed as an attempt to get rid of the teamsters' court- appointed : monitors. He said the three monitors would be invited to meet with the board Sept. 16 to discuss the ques tion. Hoffa also announced Thursday that all employees of the union would be covered by $30,000 bonds to give mem bers "additional protection against dishonesty." Security for Funds He said the new policy also would "afford unprecedented security for union funds.". The bond plan was approved by the board. The executive board met shortly after the monitors conferred with U.S. District Judge F. Dickinson Letts about the teamsters' right to set up their own cleanup com mission, headed by former Sen. George H. Bender (R Ohio). Following the meeting, Chairman Martin F. O'Don oghue of the monitors said an effort "probably" will be made to get a court ruling on the matter. O'Donoghue said Letts de clined to give any opinion on the creation of the clean-up group by Hoffa. He said Letts did not want to discuss it be cause a motion may be filed for a court "interpretation." secretary of state, Ian Harvey, on a tour of British informa tion centers in Spain, Italy, Yugoslavia and Austria. Purpose of the trip is to strengthen the impact of Brit ain's overseas information services. Harvey will also visit the Brussels exhibition, the announcement said. According to weU-informed sources, present plans are to establish some form of a reg ular radio program, beamed to the bazaars of the Middle East, which would try to Spending from Secretary of the Treas ury Robert B. Anderson be fore the Senate Finance Com mittee last month. He was being questioned by Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.). Douglas led Anderson over the ground about the changes in budget estimates since last January and referred to, the combined two-year deficit of about 15 billion dollars for the past and current fiscal years. Then he put this ques tion: , . . Ten billion dollars of the deficit will be created by the decline in business acti vity or two thirds of the total. Only five billion dollars, or one-third of the total, will be created by an increase in ex penditures above those bud geted and, . therefore, it has been the recession which has primarily created the prob lem. Is that not true?" , "That is correct, sir," An derson replied. Where Increases Come Democrats in Congress and the Administration can still argue about blame for the five billion dollar increase in spending over the . January forecast. Here are some of the major items: -Defense spending up 500 to 700 million dollars. ' -Government farm- pro gram costs up about $1,500,- 000,000, partly as a result of a bumper wheat crop, -Housing program outlays increased about a billion dol lars because of a bill pushed by Democrats as an anti-re cession weapon and signed, under protest, by the Presi dent. ' . . -Supplemental unemploy ment benefits to cost, about 600 million dolalrs under one of .the Administration's anti recession proposals, . -A postal deficit about half a billion dollars more than was expected, partly because Congress refused to give the Administration all it asked in postal rate increases and gave it more than -it asked to raise the pay of postal employees. Medford Lumber Officials Testify On Freight Rates Portland - (DPD - An attor ney for northern California lumber shippers Thursday challenged the need of Ore gon lumbermen to market their product in southern Cali fornia and Arizona. Attorney E. R. Berol assert ed before an Interstate Com merce Commission, examiner here that California now pro duces more lumber than Ore gon and that shipments from Oregon to California were like "bringing coals to New castle." The ICC is taking testi mony here in connection with Southern Pacific railroad's attempt to restore the lumber freight rate balance that existed between Oregon and northern California shippers for 27 years prior to 1954. California mills oppose the change. R J. Hogue, vice president and general sales manager for Medford . Corp.. testified that since 1954 it has cost his firm $140,000 to maintain its competitive standing in the California, market. He said the company no longer feels it can absorb such losses and its volume of shipments to California has dropped off. Many lumber . operators testifying in favor of the freight rate reduction for Oregon's prime industry testified" . they have turned more and more to the use of trucks for lumber shipments south. But Glen Moyer, sales man ager of the Kogap i,umoer Company, Medford, told the examiner "we have not used motor carriers because of the quasi-legality of most of the lumber carriers who ap proach us."

Britain urged the end of the : radio war in moves at the re cent United Nations special, assembly on the Middle East crisis. In the British view, the : toning down of aggressive radio propaganda should play . an important part in efforts to pacify the explosive area. , 2 Ignore Radio War v- However, the United Na-1 tions peace resolution on thei Middle East did . not specifi--r cally mention the radio war.' After a short lull, Cairo Radio has resumed at least some of its propaganda war, it was stated. In its new moves, Britain merely intends to seek "a fair hearing" of its viewpoint, among the masses of the Arabs, the sources said. A British government white ' paper last year approved a British-sponsored radio pro gram for the Middle East to' be beamed from Cyprus, but so far it has not materialized. Some observers expected the plan to be frowned upon, by U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, who is presently touring the Middle" East to seek implementation of the recent U.

In other places the British mission was expected to liven up and possibly extend pub-, licity and information services after: consultation with the British missions on the spot y Britain is currently spend ing some 36 million dollars a -year for her overseas infor-- mation services. But they have been under fire for some time for their alleged inade quacy. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Business note: The Big Three auto manu facturers report this morning that automobile production was down froma third to a half during the first eight months of 1958, as compared to a similar period in 1957. The Big Three (G-M, Ford,, Chrysler) have reportedly pro-, duced slightly more than three' million cars and trucks up to now this year, compared to nearly five million in the first eight months of 1957. fN ITS face, that looks bad. v But let's look at the the doughnut, rather than hole. Last year the automobile manufacturers misguessed and produced too many cars. That slowed down production while they were getting rid of the surplus. This year, they have produced fewer cars, which means they will clean up quicker. , That will make for better markets in the future. MORE about business: The" Federal Reserve' Board reports that consumer installment debt (meaning goods purchased on the instal lment payment plan) has been declining ever since the first of February of this year. After rising steadily for years, it is now down almost to the total of a year ago. , Again looking at the dough nut instead of the hole, that situation hasn't promoted bus iness so far this year but it ; makes possible bigger busi ness in the future. After all, recessions are ! catching-up periods. It's be-' ginning to look like we re get ting caught up.
