South Sea Vikings
Thor Heyerdahl (the Norwegian anthropolo
gist and archeologist of "Kon-Tiki" fame) has
written entertainingly of his latest exploit an
extended voyage into the South Seas for further
checking on his theory that at least some of the
natives of Oceania originally came from South
America.
Excerpts from his book have run in recent
issues of the Saturday Evening Post under the
title "Aku-Aku," and provide highly entertain
ing reading stimulating to the imagination, in
formative, and interesting.
'THE bulk of the articles were about his discov
A eries on Easter Island, that isolated bit of
land thousands of miles from nowhere, where
great monolithic statues defied the best theories
of earlier scientists as to how they were erected.
Heyerdahl, with the help of the natives and
their legends and family traditions, solved this
problem, and a number of others which had baf
fled investigators.
(The giant heads, for instance, were pried up
with logs, an inch or so at a time, and each time
a few rocks were placed under them to prevent
their return; then another few-inch pry, more
rocks, and so on until the stones were erect.)
-
EVERYWHERE he went in the South Seas,
Heyerdahl found what he took to be evidence
supporting his imaginative theory that the early,
massive works the monoliths, temples, forts
and carvings were done by descendants of ad
venturers from the mainland of South America.
His Kon-Tiki raft voyage was made to prove
it could have been done ; his later voyage was to
find substantiating evidence.
Among these were the legends (hardly ac
ceptable as scientific evidence, but fascinating)
which told of voyagers of the long ago who
came from the east men with fair skins and
beards, and some with red hair, who apparently
were the ancestors of some, but not all, of the
present residents of Oceania.
D ED-HEADED, bearded seafarers of pre-his-AX
tory!!
It is enough to send one back to Edgar Rice
Burroughs and his lost lands of Africa, or to the
romances of the Vikings landing in Vinland and
establishing colonies in the new world.
Heyerdahl never comes right out and de
scribes what mav be locked in the hack nf his
head the idea that his Viking forebears may
indeed, by some1 ancient voyage, have come to
South America and founded the great civiliza-i
tion of the Incas, and then crossed the Pacific to
create a magnificent but lonpwanished culture
in the islands of the warm seas.
DUT the elements of such a fantasy are given
- in Heyerdahl's articles implicitly, if not ex
plicitly. .
And who knows? it may have been the
case. It probably can't be proven or disproven.
But the Vikings DID establish settlements in
North America, Marco Polo DID travel to Cathay,
the European kings DID
Who is to say that it could not have happened

Central America, and, vigorous and aggressive

Tax Committees
A' proposal recently announced by the legis
lative interim committee on taxation, recom
mending formation of tax supervision and con
servation committees in counties of 50,000 or
more population, has had a mixed reception
from Oregon's editorial writers.
They range from cautious and conditional ap

Washington - (UPD - There

According to more than one
political authority, Adams'
position as "the assistant to
the President" which he gave
up this week was unique-not

reasoned, any successor to

Editorial Misquotation
To the Editor: I was very
much interested in your Sept.
23 editorial entitled "The
Pill," primarily because of
the discrepancy between your
editorial and a. previous
article. I would like to say
that' you have possibly mis
quoted Dr. John Rock. Your
editorial says:
"He said, because of the na
ture of the chemical reactions
involved, it does not come
under the church's ban on
contraceptives, and that the
church has no objection to its
use for that purpose."
Aside from the fact that
Dr; Rock is a layman and un
doubtedly not qualified to
give the church's ruling on
the moral aspects of this new
chemical, your previous
article on Page 11, Sept. 18,
1958, says:
"Rock, a Roman Catholic,
said his church had no objec
tion to the use of the drug for
regularizing a woman's
periods. 'The church does ob
ject to its use as a contracep
tive,' he added."
I think your editorial might
be misleading to some since
there has been no official rul
ing handed down by the Ro
man Catholic church.

Editor's note: Our corres
pondent is correct. Dr. Rock
was misquoted, through a
careless inadvertence, which
is regretted. We shall await
with interest to see what of
ficial reaction there is from
officials of the church regard
ing the uses of the new drug.
Political Questions
To the Editor: As a commit
teewoman I have many ques

of a day on political matters.
The most complete answers
that can be found are in a

their general interest.)
Mr. James A. Redden
Chairman Jackson County
Democratic Central Comm.
Dear Mr. Redden: Thank
you for your public letter to
me in last Thursday's Com
munications in the Mail Trib
une. Knowing that you are a
respectable young attorney, I
imagine it must have both
ered your conscience some
what for you to sign your
name to a letter containing an
outright falsification and then
make that letter public.
. The letter to. the editor, in
last Thursday's Communica
tions which bears your signa
ture states "he (Governor
Holmes) has, with the help of
a Democratic house, -and in
spite of certain Republican
senators, lowered taxes an av
erage 20 per cent from the
1955 (Republican) level."
Mr. Redden, you know, and
any Democrat legislator as
well as any Republican legis
lator will tell you, that Gov
ernor Holmes fought against
lowering income taxes 20 per
cent. A phone call to the Gov
ernor's office in Salem will
verify this. You also know,
Mr. Redden, that the 20 per
cent tax reduction was not
from the 1955 (Republican)
high as you stated in the
letter. The 20 per cent tax re
duction was from the 51 per
cent tax increase Governor
Holmes substituted after he
kept his promise to the voters
that he would repeal the 45
per cent surtax. "High Tax
Holmes" has earned his title.

Comment
GOOD BUSINESS
FOR STATE
Sale of $20,000,000 worth
of farm and home loan bonds
last week by the Oregon De
partment of Veterans Affairs
affords a good argument in
favor of Measure No. 2 on the
Nov. 4 election ballot. The ex
tremely low interest rate of
2.998 per cent was bid.
The ballot measure is a con
stitutional amendment which
would increase the state's debt
capacity from 4 to 6 per cent
of assessed valuation. Need for
the increase is claimed due to
inability of the Veteran's Af
fairs department to accommo
date all veterans who have ap
plied for loans. Last week's
bond sale was made possible
because the state's total as
sessed valuation has increased.
It will take care of the 1,800
applications now on hand but
when it is exhausted a wait
ing list will develop unless
the department is empowered
to sell more bonds.
Since the state loans this
money at 4 per cent it - is a
paying proposition. Veterans'
loans, as long as bonds bear
less than 4 per cent interest as
they always have, make mon
ey for the state instead of
adding to the tax burden.
The state lost nothing on
World War I veterans. Un
doubtedly World War II vet
erans will do as well by their
state. Albany Democrat-Herald.

The reason for the increase
is that next year is Oregon's

that fact, it was felt that the

JENKINS
WHY can't it be computed?
Well, for one thing,
there were BENEFITS, The
benefits were temporary, of
course. They arose out of the
necessity to SALVAGE the
trees that had been killed.
Out of these salvage opera
tions there grew a BOOM in
the production of lumber..
This boom produced WAGES.
It produced a TEMPORARY
rise in the economy of the
areas where the lumber was
cut.
But this forced cutting of
too much lumber in too short
a period of time ROBBED the
area of FUTURE develop
ment. You can see the results
of this robbery in the Tilla
mook valley - where lumber
operations are now relatively
few and far between. As a
result, the economy of the
Tillamook valley has been
thrown OUT OF BALANCE.
Because of the timber that
was destroyed in that fright
ful holocaust, the rich and
beautiful Tillamook valley is
compelled to depend almost
entirely on its agriculture,
whereas if the timber had
been kept green and growing
there would now be a better
BALANCE between industry
and agriculture.
That's something to think
about every time you leave a
campfire burning or toss away
a match or a cigarette butt.

course, is still rich. It is
still prosperous. Its dairy in

try. But it would have been
RICHER, it would have been
MORE PROSPEROUS, if the
great fire hadn't got loose.
HERE in Southern Oregon,
there is a thought for us
in this Tillamook burn. The
thought is this:
We're LUCKY because the
great pine forests of the Klam
ath Indian reservation have
been kept under sustained
yield. If they had been sold
at auction to the highest bid
der, WITHOUT sustained
yield restrictions, they might
have been cut off without pro
vision for systematic growth
and reproduction.
In that event, our future
would have been LESS
BRIGHT. We too might then
have suffered from a LACK
OF BALANCE in our econ.
