B We're Way, Way Behind Just in case members of the county court, and others interested in effective county government, missed it, we are reproducing herewith a brief story which appeared in Thursday's issue of the Mail Tribune : Salem-flJPD-County Judge Rex Hartley said today a parks commission has been created to advise the Marion county court on park development. The move is the first step in setting up a parks de partment. The six commissioners will serve voluntarily but will have a full-time staff. The county court has agreed that no property will be disposed of without an investigation of the commission into possible recrea tional use. The county has 170 acres which might be used for parks. The land is located on two parcels on the Little North Fork river and on the Willamette river near Champoeg state park. , Marion county has been behind in county park development. It is now startino- to catch un but it will have a long iact tnat .Lane and Douglas counties have well oreranized and well-established ennntv nark svs- tems, and other counties, including Josephine, are also active in this important field. "1X7HERE does this leave Jackson county? Way, way, way back in the rear, stultified and ossified, and looking blamed foolish in com parison to some of the more progressive areas of the state. Oh, the county has budgeted $3,000 for parks last year, and helped out on Maple Park Grove ot Medlord. That took And this year it has county park purposes, but about all it has done about them is to "look at some sites." THE COUNTY has no It made a token eresture bv asking- the countv planning commission to i.Z 1 1 i ?I Jl uuuai planning 0 us amies, and men. wnen tne planning commission appointed a committee which showed signs of coming up with some rec ommendations, the court turned around and took the ball away again (on the Howard Prairie pro posed development) without as much as a bv- your-leave or a thank-you. The court has talked ing with the city of Medford in developing po tential recreational areas in the Camp White- Agate Desert area : it has Shady Cove, and it has talked a little about "get ting some land" in the vastly popular (and, on pleasant week ends, vastly crowded) Applegate valley. BUT WHAT has the court done? X UbWUilpii;iVlll tiling. There are, in this county, thousands upon thousands of people who and picnic, or just relax, outdoors. There are fishermen and boatmen back riders who more difficult to find public areas out-of-doors in which o pursue their wholesome and healthful activi ies. ( They are taxpayers. And, if there were more places, their numbers would increase by leaps and bounds. It isn't as though the county CAN'T do any hing (it is specifically given power in state law ,o create parks) ; it's just that the court hasn't, and judging the future by the past, they still won't until the people of the county get mad enough to demand that the court give some regard to their wishes. I ' ET US grant that being y is difficult. A three-man board, it has to act in concert, and what one commissioner wants may be blocked by the others. That is what we mean when we say that the present system of county' government is unre sponsive, is not limber enough or flexible enough to do what needs to be done in this fast-growing and fast-moving age. The commissioners are, in part, captives of the system in which they are caught. DUT IN a case like this where the people are thus far wholly dependent on the activities of the federal and state governments for recrea tional areas, and the county court continues to mumble about "inspecting sites" in such a case the commissioners have to shoulder the blame personally, individually and collectively. In this case we think they're stupid, short sighted and behind the times, and fair game for any taxpayer who wants to call them on the 'phone and make it hot for them. E.A. Plenty of Other Things The construction labor dispute has been over for some time, the Teamster's dispute over wages for long-haul truckers was settled last week, an industry-wide strike of auto workers was averted by an agreement with Ford Motor company which is expected to set a pattern for the others, a threatened strike of lumber workers was averted with only a few work stoppages of short dura tion, a strike threat by pilots for West Coast air lines was postponed with some hope of settlement soon. Let us hope we can now breathe a collective sigh of relief and start worrying about other things pf which there are plenty. E.A. j way to go, in view of the made a few gestures.

Huh? ,yAV- im- Matter of Fact ONE-SIDED CEASE-FIRE . Taipeh, Formosa No one seems to realize it, but in the present context it is im- portant that the U.S. gov ernment long since imposed a one - sided cease - fire on the Chinese Nationa list government. . It is impor tant, particu- jos!pb Alsop iany, oecause of the American policy-makers' hope that the Communists will agree to an informal cease-fire during the Warsaw talks. If one side is free to fire and the other side is not, the side that can fire at will is unlikely to be tempted by a cease-fire. The . history of 'this ' one sided cease - fire is also an ironical commentary on ' the strangeness of American policy-making that began with the celebrated "unleashing" of Chiang Kai-shek. So far as the American public is aware, that big, bold, beautiful ges ture has never been reversed. It has just been : forgotten about. TN FACT however Chiang Kai-shek has been incon spicuously releashed in three successive stages. The first, and presently the most im portant, stage occurred dur ing the crisis three years ago, which ended with the evacua tion of the Tachen Islands. At that time, as will be re called, the Congress voted the Formosa resolution, thus giv ing the President the authori ty he has now said he would use to defend . Quemoy and the Matsus. Nothing in the Sino-Ameri-can written agreements of 1955 so much as- hints at the big step that was then taken. But at that time, under se vere American? pressure, Chiang Kai-shek was induced to promise to make no further air attacks on mainland tar gets. Until . then, he - had al ways used his air power against the ' mainland in a desultory way; and he had stopped the big artillery at tack on Quemoy in 1954 by an intensive air - bombardment of the Communist positions. Since 1955, however, Chi ang has been bound by his commitment to the American government. Air reconnais sance of the mainland was ex cluded from the commitment, and this still continues. But combat flights over the main land were forbidden; and this is the reason why all the air combats of the present crisis have begun over-water.- TT .IS rather funny, if you think about it, but the Eisenhower administr a t i o n has imposed on ; Chiang the same "sanctuary" limitation that the Truman administra tion imposed on Gen. Mc Arthur. As Chiang's crack pilots have done really bril liantly irt their clashes with the Communist pilots, this limitation chafes a good deal. It chafes particularly, since the American government is still pressing Chiang -: suc cessfully thus far not to use his air power - against the artillery that is strangling Quemoy. The second stage of the re-: leashing also seems to have dated from 1955. Exact in formation concerning it is hard to come by, but some sort of further commitment was apparently extracted from Chiang that covered the use of his artillery on. Que moy and the Matsus. The evi dence suggests that it was a commitment not to open fire, but only to answer the ene my's fire. The result, you may say, is the key enemy artillery posi tion on Weitou Point, without which the artillery blockade of Quemoy would hardly be effective. When the Commu- nLL 66 WWN f HUHl YA THINK By Joseph Alsop nists began to construct this strong, deeply dug-in system of gun emplacements, Chiang wanted to stop the work with his Quemoy a guns. American influence was brought to bear, however, and Chiang's guns finally remained silent while the Weitou emplacements were built. "PINALLY, the re r leashing last stage was reached quite recently. Until recently, Chiang used the Quemoy and Matsu positions, plus his limited naval, forces, to pre vent shipping from entering the ports of Amoy and Foo chow. But then there was a flareup of Communist artil lery firing and other military activity that seemed to threat- en Quemoy. Once again, pow erful American pressure was brought to bear. Thereafter ships could and did sail at will into both these ports, vir tually under the snouts of the Nationalist guns on the is lands. . . . AH of this is important, as an answer- to the people in Britain and elsewhere who are justifying the Communist aggression on the ground that the Communists are merely answering Chiang's aggres sions. Chiang has been about as aggressive as a mouse since the re-leashing was "quitely completed. But the political value of this non-aggressive ness has been altogether lost, because the'American govern ment has been so mousily quiet about the re-leashing. The obvious reason for this silence, in turn, was that it would have been embarrass ing to admit to the re-leashing after the grandiose adman's gesture of the unleashing. The question that now remains is whether the promise to de fend Quemoy and the Matsus was an adman's gesture. It is as certain as anything can be that unless the American gov ernment at least manifests its readiness to meet force with force, the great defense prom ise will turn out td be as emp ty as the unleashing. But the retreat will be more difficult and much more conspicuous, (c) 1958 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Harriman Proposes Truman Candidacy Albany, N.Y.-(UPD-Gov. Av erell Harriman said Friday he was "deadly serious" in pro posing Harry S. Truman as the 1960 Democratic candi date for president. Harriman told a Democratic rally Thursday night the cur rent state politicalcampaigns wbuld lay the groundwork for the "bigger" battle two years from now. "I nominate for president of the United States in 1960 Harry S. Truman," the New York governor told more than 2,500 c h e e r i n g Democrats. "He is the man to get us back on the : rails." Truman, smiling and polite, told the. rally: "I'm afraid I cannot accept the nomina tion." "I don't deserve what he (Harriman) says, but I like to hear him say it," Truman said.

Today Cr Tomorrow - By Walter lippmann PREDICAMENT AT QUEMOY It has seemed probable from the beginning back in August that the attack on Quemoy was timed in rela tion - to the meeting of the General As sembly in mid S e p t ember. The event has confirmed this theory. For what the Red Chinese . have Walter Lippmann done is to blockade Ouemov. compelling us to decide in the presence of the United Na tions whether we will Ipt On. moy be strangled or will take onensive action to break the blockade. The Red Chinese hav car ried out a very skillful man euver which is possible be cause Quemoy is so near to the mainland that it is within artillery range. Once they had collected the guns and the ammunition, they had the in itiative. They could make Quemoy untenable without in vading it, and they could con front us with the grave fact that the defense of Quemoy is impossible without a large bombing offensive against the artillery positions on the Chinese mainland. Against such an American offensive, the Red Chinese had equipped themselves with two deterrents. One was a Soviet guarantee of help in case they were attacked. The other was this meeting of the General Assembly in which an American offensive on be half of Chiang against the Chinese mainland would arouse enormous criticism. If nuclear weapons were used in the American offensive, the effect on our standing in the world would be tragic and incalculable. rpHUS we have been man euvered into a position where the question is not whether we will defend Que moy against invasion but whether we will make war against the Chinese mainland. Was this maneuver foreseen, it is fair to ask, when Mr. Dulles persuaded the Presi dent to stake American pres tige on the defense of Que moy? There is reason to doubt it. There is reason to doubt whether the President and Mr. Dulles and their military Washington Report By William S. Whit. THE KEY IS VIRGINIA Washington - The Eisen hower Administration sees the integration crisis as a fairly long Historical process now moving rea sonably well in the second of its thr e e great phases. The first phase was de fined by the Supreme wiiiiam s. wute C o u r t's de cision in 1954 outlawing school sesreeation. The third and last, in the Administra tion's view, will be a period of active adjustment in the South. What is now going forward, in phase No. 2, is a kind of domestic cold war between Federal, state and local lead-ers-a war Mr. Eisenhower is determined to keen as polite as possible. The official di rectly responsible for carry ing out integration, Attorney General William P. Rogers. identifies this as the period in which Southern public' opin ion is to be brought to accept the inevitability of racially mixed schools. ClOUNDLY or not. neither Rogers nor the President is greatly dissatisfied with the rate of this process of ac ceptance. Neither, moreover, wishes to talk, or even to think, iust now in terms of Federal force either in the courtroom or through the use of troops. The last thing the President wants is any repe tition, anywhere at any time, of last fairs scenes of eaerai troops on patrol in Little Rock. The Administration, in deed, has taken as fundamen tal a decision as any since it came to power. This is to put major trust, not in law suits or Federal threats, but in the presumed unwillingness of the white "parents of the South to see the schools closed outright for long or kept in turmoil long by resistance to integration. This will not please the ex tremists - but, in truth, the Administration, seems willing to break with them. This approach, of course us characteristic of the Presi dent. Rightly or wrongly, he has always put extraordinary I reliance on persuasion as his advisors had fully realized that Quemoy could be block aded by artillery fire from the mainland. There is strong evidence that the commit ment to defend Quemoy was made before there was a plan to defend Quemoy. There is evidence too of muddled thinking as, for ex ample, in the strange order directing the 7th Fleet to es cort Chinag's ships to within three miles of Quemoy. For if Quemoy belongs to Chiang, then the waters within- three miles of Quemoy belong to Chiang, and there was no legal reason why the 7th Fleet should stand off at the three mile limit. Thus, we have said that Quemoy, which we mean to defend for Chiang, lies within the territorial waters of Red China, which we do not mean to invade. Our legal position is complete nonesense,. and discloses an alarming con fusion of minds. - WE ARE in a very embars sing predicament, having promised to defend Quemoy while the price of defending it is exorbitant. The Presi dent had a lot to say the other night about how our position in Asia would be hurt if we did not defend Quemoy. Has he realized what will be our position in Asia and in Europe and in Africa and in Latin America if he goes to war for Quemoy? What is needed is a cease fire, which will at least post pone the fateful decision and provide a little .time for rea son to assert itself. The ques tion is whether the Commun ist powers, who now have the whip-hand at Quemoy, would agree to a cease-fire. Con ceivably they would, but then surely at a price. Perhaps, in the Warsaw talks Ambassador Beam will learn, what the price is. But of this much we can be reasonably certain. There will be no chance of an agree ment to renounce the use of force in the Formosa area which does not carry with it measures on our part to ex tricate ourselves from our en tanglement with Chiang. For, as his Ambassador in Wash ington told us just the other day, Chiang will have nothing to do with the idea of re nouncing force, (c) 1958 New York Herald . Tribune Inc. principal and sometimes his only tool of national policy, Of equal significance is the fact that Attorney " General Rogers, whose day by day actions will be more prac tically decisive than the Presi dent's, is deeply in sympathy with this policy. THUS the Federal govern ment's recently announced plan of comparative inaction -not to go to court any time soon against Southern resis ters - rests first of all upon a conviction that this is both the right and the most effec tive position. But there is also a second ary reason of much practical weight. This is that there is great doubt here that the Fed eral government would win a suit intended to tell a South ern Governor that he could not lawfuUy close the schools of his state. Nobody in the Administra tion concedes that such a suit would necessarily fail. But many concede that the ques tion in some circumstances might be an uncomfortably close one. It goes without say ing that the Administration would not gladly rush into an action at the risk of a very damaging black eye. The conclusion in the Ad ministration is that a far sounder method of preventing the closing of Southern schools would be to marshal parental opinion against such closings. So the fixed intention of the Administration is to take a confident line, now at least, that the local communities will keep their own schools open - or get them reopened if they are closed by authori ty of the Governor. THE Federal government will carefully present it self as being interested not so much in integration as in the larger concept of obedience to the Supreme Court as, the only proper final interpreter of the Constitution. This is the reason for the almost antiseptically calm speeches Rogers is making these days concerning the court's place in national life. He is trying to direct a spe cial appeal to the South's tra ditional veneration for the judiciary. The objective of all objec tives is Virginia.

The purpose of the meeting, according to school officials, is to discuss the common needs and objectives of school supervisors. - old intellectual and social primacy in the South is being underlined in private by Ad ministration officials. Too, they are strongly praising Virginia's leaders, Senator Harry F. Byrd and Governor J. Lindsay Almond Jr., for their powerful warnings that the state will not tolerate anti - integration violence. Great distinctions are being made by Administration spokesmen between these men and Governor Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas, for ex ample. In short, it is felt within the Administration that if and when resistance collapses in Virginia, the heart of all Southern resistance wiU col lapse - not everywhere, of course, but most everywhere.
