The Medford city council's unanimous ap
proval last week of Mayor John Snider's plan for
a recreation and parks commission is a first small
step on a long road wrhich ultimately can do much
for Jackson county.
The city has had a small recreation program,
but it has been administered on a catch-as-catch-can
basis, and largely through the extra work of
already overburdened city off icials.
The work done up to this point has been well
performed and meritorious but it hasn't been
enough.
THE commission can go further and we hope
it will : much further.
It can make a realistic assessment of recrea
tional facilities and needs; it can lay out a pro
gram, and, eventually, it can assist the citycouncil
in supervising and administering a full-fledged
recreational program.
And such is needed. While recreational facili
ties do not constitute the whole answer to any
thing, they do constitute an important part of a
well-rounded life, and a well-rounded community.
THHE city now has one swimming pool, and soon
will have another. It has one excellent and
well-patronized community park, and several oth
ers which are pleasant to see and to visit. It has
Prescott Park on Roxy Ann Butte unmatched
in potential almost anywhere in the United States,
but still the unwanted step-child of the city, coun
ty and state park systems.
There is a tremendous field here for a recrea
tion commission, and we sincerely hope it will
lav out a rji-opram which will make Medford a
leader (instead of a far-behind follower, as at
present) in serving its people its youth, its
elderly, and the rest m
ties, the leadership and
to a well-rounded and
gram.
It will pay dividends in the long run.
We wonder when the county will take a simi
lar forward step. E.A.

The "Star Gazer" the astrological feature
earned for some years by the Mail Tribune is
one of the most popular in the affections of many
of our readers. N
Just why this is so we have never been able
to figure out, exactly. Surely not too many people
take its forecasts seriously.
But there appears to be a certain fascination
in taking one's own zodiacal sign, spotting the
numbers arbitrarily assigned to it, and then pick
ing these numbers from a list and working out a
"message" for the following day.
AS INDICATED, we don't put any stock in the
"messages." But they are shrewdly drawn to
cover a wide range of circumstances, and almost
always something happens which can be related
to the forecast.
For instance, a few
forecast for the day we took a trip to Portland in
dicated we. would need the
a plumber or a handyman. That was the trip
where the water pump on

burg resulting in a lengthy delay and a sub
stantial check. . .

enough advice for any day 01 tne week.
f)UT of idle curiosity, we worked out the "mes-

the Zodiac. Here are the

OUR ENTANGLING
ALLIANCE
1
At the week end it became
clear that the military actions
of Red China around Quemoy
have limited
object i v e s,
that they are
strictly . con
trolled and
carefully cal
culated. After
a two - week
bomb a r d
ment, the Red
Chinese had
proved that
they could blockade Quemoy.
They had forced Chiang's gov
ernment to admit that with
o u t American intervention
Quemoy with its large garri
son was surrounded and lost.
As a result, the President had
been faced with a decision he
himself had hoped not to have
to make, and all the world,
our own people included, have
been made to see that we
might have to go to war for
a fiction, for the pretense that
the island of Quemoy is neces
sary to the defense of For
mosa. Having scored these points
- which illustrated Chiang's
weakness and the American
entanglement -f Chou En-lai
turned off the military pres
sure for some two days while
he proposed negotiating with
the United States. The Presi
dent jumped at this chance to
put off the horrid possibility
of having to fight for Que
moy.
"M"0 DOUBT it will be ar-
gued that what caused
Chou En-lai to propose nego
tiation was the decision tak
en at Newport by Mr. Dulles
to fight for Quemoy. But to
argue this way is, I believe,
to misunderstand the funda
mental character of the Red
Chinese policy in respect to
Chiang and in respect to the
United States as an ally of
Chiang.
When Red China says, as
it does on every occasion, that
it will "liberate" Formosa, it
does not mean that it can and
that it will invade and con
quer Formosa. It means that
there will be a revolution in
Formosa against Chiang or
against his successor, and that
Formosa will be taken out of
the American sphere of in
fluence in much the same way
as Iraq was recently taken
out of the British sphere of
influence in the Middle East.
VVE, ON the other hand, hav
" ing no answer to this
kind of development, have
concentrated all our atten
tion on defending Formosa
against what cannot and what
will not happen namely, the
invasion and conquest of the
island. This is a military m
possibility. The Formosa
Strait is a hundred miles wide
and the. water is rough, , Red
China has no navy, the Unit
ed States has a great navy,
and the Chinese and Russian
Communist leaders are not
fools.
Why do we concentrate our
attention on the fictitious
problem of the defense of
Formosa? Because the Presi
dent has legal authority from
Congress to defend Formosa,
and everything Mr. Dulles
wishes to do in the area -which
is chiefly to keep up
the morale of the Chiang re
gime - has to be justified as
somehow related to the mili
tary defense of Formosa.
Thus, in TJuemoy the real
issue is not. whether the Com
munists are to have the is
land as a stepping stone to
the invasion of Formosa. Que
moy has nothing to do with
the invasion ' of Formosa or
with the defense of Formosa
- except that Chiang has reck
Walter
Lippmann
'Look, Alow 'rrs 47
I DENNIS'! -
lessly locked up a third of his
army in Quemoy. If he lost
that army, the rest of his
army, which is in Formosa it
self, might overthrow him,
and so Chiang has Mr. Dulles
entangled in Quemoy. For if
Quemoy is lost, the army is
lost. If the army is lost, For
mosa is lost, if Formosa is
lost, southeast Asia is lost,
etc.,' etc.
All this comes of founding
a policy on untruths: on the
untruth that the Red Chinese
are planning the military con
quest of Formosa, on the un
truth that the offshore islands
are related to Formosa, not to
speak of the still bigger .un
truth that the real govern
ment of China is in Formosa,
and that it will some day
move back to the mainland.
AMERICAN policy in east-
- em Asia nas oecome a
holding operation, a rear
guard action, centered upon
Chiang's government in For
mosa. According to the offi
cial apologists, we have got
ten ourselves into a fix where
our influence and prestige in
eastern Asia depend upon an
old man who presides over a
feeble government which has
been driven off the mainland.
So entangled are we that we
are not allowed to consider
among ourselves, much less to
explore it publicly, what is to
become of Formosa when
Chiang departs. The open dis
cussion of such realistic pos
sibilities, it is said, would de
moralize Chiang's govern
ment. Thus our diplomacy in
eastern Asia is paralyzed.
In the diplomatic contest
with the Communist world
Red China is able to act on
the conviction that eventually
Formosa will come to terms
with the mainland. But we
have no conviction about the
future on which we can act.
We are defending Chiang and
we are depending on Chiang.
But Chiang is not immortal.
And Chiang will not let us
talk about what might come
after he goes. Thus we are un
able to propose anything in
the nature of a constructive
policy. All we can do is to
stand by Chiang until the day
comes when there is no
Chiang to stand by.
0
UR relations with Chiang
are a classic example
the most far reaching in our
history - of an entangling al
liance. Far from its being, as
the official apologists say, in
dispensable to our prestige
and influence, this entangling
alliance is an enormous lia
bility which, if it does not en
tangle us in war, is surely and
steadily losing us the respect
and confidence of our friends,

Editorial Comment
REMINDER
The yellow school bus,
which all summer carried chil
dren to summer camps and
the bean fields, is back at its
primary job - transporting
Young America to school. And
lest drivers forget the dic
tates of safety and the Oregon
law, we remind them of their
obligation on the highways.
Stripped of its legal lan
guage, the law provides that
you can't pass a school bus
that is stopped to discharge
passengers. You must stop,
too. You may proceed only
after the bus ; proceeds and
after children who intend to
cross the highway have
crossed it.
. The same rule applies if
you meet a school bus that is
stopped to discharge passeng
ers on a two-lane highway.!

Of Achievements of Congressional Session
BY A. ROBERT SMITH

Washington Conserva

ized preliminary planning of

otherwise they
believe "great
gains were

a. Robt smith wise manage
ment of the nation's soil, for
est, water and wildlife re
sources" during the past two
years.
This is the opinion of the
Wildlife Management Insti
tute, headed by Dr. Ira Gabri

merly was chief of the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.
The achievements the con

py about are:
Communications
Letters to the Editor must
bear the name and address of
the writer although under cer
tain circumstances the use of a
pen name or initial for publica
tion is permissible. The Mail
Tribune reserves the right to
edit all letters with an eye to
clarification and condensation.
Letters submitted for publica
tion must not exceed 400 words.
The letters printed in this
:olumn do not necessarily repre-
sent the views of the paper, in
fact the contrary is often the
case.
Registration Needle
To the Editor: The follow
ing letter has been sent to
Mr. Don Stathos, chairman of
the Jackson County Republi
an Central Committee:
You may recall a letter
from the Democratic Central
Committee of some time ago
challenging . the Republican
Central Committee to a non
partisan registration and get
out the vote race. Under the
proposed plan, registrars ap
pointed upon the request of
both committees were to make
registration facilities available
to as many of the estimated
thousands of unregistered vot
ers as possible. The registra
tion booths and mobile units
were to go "unlabeled" to in
sure a non-partisan effort.-
We heard nothing from you
but did read with interest a
large front page article in
which you announced plans
for a massive drive for reg
istrations. To date, nothing
has been heard about any ac
tual effort on your behalf, al
though our sponsored but
unlabeled units have served
the public in Prospect, Cen
tral Point, Medford and Ash
land. We have registered an
estimated 500 or more citi
zens, and we have just begun.
Due to your slow start you
undoubtedly will not accept
our challenge, but we write
to you to ask you and your
committee to commence your
drive, reminding you that we
have less than a month to go!
We cannot possibly reach
every un-registered voter in
the county, although we will
try. With some help and sup
port from you and your com
mittee, more voters will go
to the polls in November.
By the way, I read some
leaflets printed for the op
ponent of Governor Holmes
the other day and could not
find anywhere in it what his
political party was, yet it
claimed that everyone "knows
where he stands." Is he
"partyless" or is he ashamed
of his party?

One must pray for that re
sult more earnestly, since this
trouble in the Formosa Strait
is a much more dangerous
business than most Americans
imagine. The very greatness
of the danger perhaps has per
suaded the Chinese Com
munist leaders to start talk
ing about negotiations, as
soon the the President and
Secretary Dulles had commit
ted themselves to using Amer
ican troops, if need be, to de
fend Quemoy and the Matsus
The great danger is not that
the United States will be
drawn into the fighting in the
Formosa Strait. The great
danger is, rather, that the
United States will first be
drawn into the fighting, and
win then be drawn into using
nuclear weapons at least
what are called "tactical" nu
clear weapons in this local
fight.
rpHE highest Pentagon auth
orities in fact maintain
taat the U. S. Armed Services
will be almost compelled to
use tactical nuclear weapons.
It is said that simple air and
sea operations to break the
blockade of Quemoy , would
hot create this terrible alleged
necessity. But- the prevailing
view is that nuclear weapons
would have to be used and
ought to be used for all other
missions, even including mere
interdiction of the Chinese
Communist air bases on the
mainland.
Thus tactical A-bombs are
to be used without hesitation
in any fighting beyond the
scale of a mild spat. That is
the best way to sum up of
ficial Pentagon doctrine.
The doctrine is the natural
outcome of the present situa
tion, plus the Eisenhower de
fense policies of the past. In
Communist China, the Amer
ican armed services confront
a formidable enemy, with
1,800 Soviet jet fighters and
bombers, much other modern
Soviet equipment, and a vast
ground army.
jyTEANWHILE, because oi
the sacred budget, the
U. S. ground and air forces
of the Pacific are very much
weaker, except in nuclear
weapons, than they were
when the Korean War began.
Until the recent reinforce
ment of the Pacific fleet, our
naval forces in the area were
also weaker, again except for
nuclear weapons, than they
were at the tragic moment
when American weakness in

vited the Soviet aggression of
1950.
These comparatively small
American forces furthermore
show the clear imprint of
"bigger bang for. a buck" defense-planning.
Among the
Air Force planes in the Pa
cific, for instance, only the
absolete F-86D fighters were
designed to us entirely con
ventional armament.
The much better F-100
fighters are conventionally
armed for the air combat, but
they are primarily adapted to
Use tactical nuclear weapons
when they are employed as
fighter bombers. The light
B-57 and B-66 bombers were
designed with nuclear weap
ons almost evclusively in
mind. The B-47 m'edium bomb
ers of the Strategic Air Com
mand are literally unable to
deliver any bombs at all ex
cept A-bombs and H-bombs.
Nor does the story end
there, by any means. When
President Eisenhower took his
budget-minded "new look, at
our defense planning, he is
sued a formal directive to the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. That
directive, subsquehtly con
firmed and elaborated on oth
er occasions, authorized the
Joint Chiefs to plan to fight
only nuclear wars. By order
of the Commander-in-Chief
himself, any fighting more
serious than a police action
was to be nuclear.
rflHUS the generals, the ad-
mirals, and the Pentagon's
civilian high command cannot
be blamed for the, danger of
a nuclear war for Quemoy
Furthermore, the phrase, "a
nuclear war for Quemoy;"
c o n s i derable misrepresents
the issue.
The ' policy-makers have
painted the United States into
a fantastic corner,- in which
we have to choose between
joining in the defense of these
wretcnea mue onshore is
lands, or suffering incalcul
able further losses all over
the world. If the Chinese Com
munists can drive the United
States to fight for Quemoy in
these circumstances, then two
very great powers will be at
war with one another. We
may attempt, and we should
attempt, to treat such a war
with Communist China as a
limited war. But the success
of this attempt will inevitably
depend on the Chinese Com
munist leaders and not on the
Pentagon.
Enough has been said at
any rate, to suggest why it is
well to pray for a renewal of
the meaningless round of
peaceable negotiations,

4. Military reservations
Congress enacted a prohibi
tion against the Defense De
partment withdrawing from
other public use huge tracts
out West of greater than 5,000
acres, unless Congress ap
proves it. This is to prevent
the military from making vast
military reservations without
justifying them to Congress,
especially allowing for local
residents, including sports
men to have their say Pro
vision was made to require
the military to observe state
hunting and fishing and trap
ping laws to prevent these res
ervations from becoming priv
ileged hunting preserves for
military officers.
5. Duck stamp starting
July 1, 1960, virtually all re
ceipts from the new $3 duck
stamp will be channeled into
an accelerated program for
the purchase and lease of
wetlands needed to maintain
desirable duck and geese pop
ulations. The duck stamp bill
closed loopholes in the old
law, preventing duck receipts
from being used for other pro
grams, and assuring that ref
uge acreage goals can be at
tained in about 25 years.
6. Pollution control more
funds were appropriated for
grants to cities for building
sewage treament plants under
this program which is less
than two years old. But a
move to double the program,
making $100 million available
annually, was pigeonholed.

tion came in the rivers and

been kicked around for years,
mostly with Sen. Neuberger
leading the fight against it on
grounds it would flood out
some elk feeding grounds in
the Bitterroot Mts. and cause
damage to migratory salmon
and trout in the Clearwater, a
main tributary of the Snake
River;
Two decisions by the ad
ministration also received
plaudits from the conserva
tionists. One was Secretary of
the Interior Fred A. Seaton's
order making , the primary
function of federal wildlife
lands that of preserving wild
life, banning further oil leas
ing on refuges except in ex
ceptional cases. The other was
the Internal Revenue Service

tions opposed by sportsmen re
