But frSp PPe simply as Pope exerts a tre mendousinf luence among members of the Catho lic church throughout the world. His influence is, in large part, in matters of faith the dogmas and doctrines of the church but it also is large in more mundane affairs. rVEN outside the church, in recent decades, the Pope has exerted a strong influence in mat ters of moral and even political concern. Non Catholics the world over have listened, respect fully as the pontiffs have given their views on the problems of the day. And how much more effective, how much more strongly, is this influence felt when it is a man of the stature of Eugenio Pacelli who speaks from the Vatican. For this slight, frail man, aged in the service of his church, extended the stature of the world's most powerful religious office by his own strength of character, his own essential morality and decency, his own erudition and common touch. - LJIS death leaves a gap which will be felt the world over, among men of all faiths and beliefs, or lack of beliefs. A staunch opponent of imperial communism is gone, and no man can speak with the same authority of both, office and personality until many years have gone For Catholics, the Pope is the final authority in things of the spirit, cathedra his rulings are But among non-Catholics, the stature of the Pope is in large measure dependent on the stature of the man who holds the office. And in the case of Pope Pius XII, when he spoke gravely, humorously, wisely the and listened respectfully. His death quietly, and ill health as it was world. E.A. iroeners Not much of the sound and fury has percolated down to this peaceful comer of the state, but up in the Willamette valley there has been some thing of a flap about the state police. A state representative named Richard Groe ner, from Milwaukie, recently issued a blast against; H. G. (Fod) Maison, the veteran police superintendent, for enforcing a "quota" system of arrests on his officers among other .things. This Maison denied, in his usual tight-lipped way. - GROENER also claimed that police morale was 1 rvnr nrr en am qti1 ca rm It developed that the state representative had a long record of driving arrests and accidents, and practically everyone who knows anything about it rose to the defense of Superintendent Maison and his department which is nationally recognized as one of the best. (The defenders included Bob Holmes and Mark Hatfield, mem bers of the legislature, and editors over the state who have watched the police, and their superin tendent, in action.) Groener, if he makes charges, should come with clean hands. And, in this case, Groener should keep his groaning to himself. E.A. Damn Yankees . Well, the Damn Yankees did it again. Despite our regret that the high and mighty New Yorkers have garnered another World championship, we'll have to admit they did. it the hard way, coming from behind to take three games in a row, and in the deciding game, break ing open a tie score with a magnificent burst in the eighth inning. And it was a tremendously interesting and exciting series. THE game of baseball, from a spectator's stand- point; is a little like oysters or caviar it is an acquired taste. There was a time when, at a baseball game, we wondered what all the excitement was about. But (thanks to TV), we slowly discovered what the excitement IS all about. It is about one-tenth the excitement of the actual playing, and about nine-tenths the excitement of what MIGHT happen. - Baseball is the game of potential, of the whole thing hanging on -whether a ball goes one inch this way or that way, or of whether a fielder makes a certain catch or drops it, or whether the batter connects or misses. THE more one watches it, the more one becomes 1 obsessed with the records, the percentages, the chance's the tangible intangibles which give it the special fascination which have made it America's "national" sport. And that it has fascinated America there can be no doubt, particularly at World Series time, when business, trade and commerce run at slow bell until the game of the day is over. So the Yanks are the champs again, there is sadness in Sudsville, and dedicated fans can hardly wait until the. season opens again next spring. E.A. by. and when speaking ex not to be doubted. whole world listened, in dignity, and in age is a loss to the tree Groans f0WCCWMy ?GGY BANK Washington Report By William S. White AGAINST F.D.R. Washington - The Republi can high command has de cided to run against Franklin D. Roosevelt for the rest of of the- Con gressional campaign. This is the inner meaning of the recent high party conference at Williams White the White House. Nothing has so illus trated the degree of Republi can difficulty. For running against Franklin Roosevelt in life brought the Republicans four successive Presidential defeats, and any number of Congressional defeats. If they persist in making FDR their chief antagonist this time, he will beat them again in death-or more ex actly they will lose by a big ger margin than need be. This Republican policy de cision was said to have had the vaguely defined' approval of President Eisenhower. But, as a high Republican private ly confides, "It was Nixon all the way." Dominant was Vice- President Richard M. Nixon. A short time ago this corres pondent reported that -Mr, Nixon had moved "all but openly" to the top leadership of the party. One alteration now is needed-to strike out the qualifying words "all but openly." FOR the Vice-President is is now visibly in charge a general manager, whereas Mr. Eisenhower is in the semi retirement of a chairman of the board, elevated but inac tive. Moreover, Mr. Nixon is so directing this campaign as to give the 1960 Presidential contest, in which he himself almost certainly will be the Republican nominee, actually a greater place than the 1958 program. The manifesto is sued by the Republicans after their White House meeting was more nearly a document for a Presidential than a Con gressional election. . Its main expression of hor ror was at "the 20 years of the New and Fair Deals" of Franklin Roosevelt and Har ry Truman. And its central theme was that any new "na tional Democrat administra tion" would be even worse. The only partisan enemies now in the field against the Republicans are Democratic Congressional candidates. But the GOP warning was direct ed more against some future Democratic Presidential can didate It was like rallying the troops not for a battle hotly in progress but for a battle still in the distance. iHOSE who have been told - Mr. Nixon's long-term po Try and -By BENNETT CERF- GOOD SERVANTS, notes Patrick Mahony, are virtually non . . existent in Ireland today. They all come to America, where wages are much higher. ,Thus, a rich Irish squire of County Clare was particularly dis consolate when his cook died. He ordered a fine headstone for her, with these words chiselled there on: "Peace Be To Her Hashes" Mahony tells. of another stone in the same grave yard that decorates the rest ing place of a one-time dentist: "Stranger, heed this spot with due gravity For here Doctor Mac ' Laverty Filled his last cavity." Keith Lockmore's definition of a crashing bore: a fellow who has absolutely nothing to say and says it' C 1258, by Bennett Cut Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate DON'T RATTLE NOMOf?? litical plans have reason , to believe the present situation to be as follows: 1. His first soeakine triD for Republican Congressional candidates has hardened what he had already supposed. This was that the Republicans had practically no chance to win Congress and would be wise to try mainly to cut their losses and strengthen their position for 1960. 2. The Republicans general ly - Mr. Nixon prominently among them-are no longer at an impressed with President Eisenhower's old coat-tail magic. 3. They have been unable 10 una any pay-off issue against the Democratic Con gressional leadershirj. So thev are not attempting any major awacK nere, out are hitting instead primarily at FDR and secondarily at Mr. Truman The key words and sloeans. now re-adopted, turn the clock back 18 years. "Preserving free enterprise . . socialism . . . regimentation." These ar guments and epithets reached their crescendo against the Democrats when Wendell Willkie was running against Mr. Roosevelt in 1940. 1I7HY this new GOP tactic? " Because the fundamental immediate problem is to find a means of orderly transition from the moderate Eisenhow er era, which is ending, back to the traditional partisan Republican position. This is the only "practical" position for the moment. For the first necessity is to hold together at least the strictly partisan nepuDiicans and so to ease the shock to the party of the loss of the old Eisenhower power. And the surest way to rally these old boys is to attack Franklin Roosevelt, even though this means an unde niable short-term risk. It will be time enough later to try to develop a wider party appeal to the voters. How far this transition has already gone could not have been more lighted up than by this fact: in the campaign statement drawn up by the Republicans not a word of praise was said about the man who is still nominally the party's leader and still in the White House-Dwight D. Ei senhower. (Copyright. 1958, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) United Nations Flag To Fly at Half Staff United Nations, N. Y.

Stop Me Racial Issue Rows Keep GOP Supplied With Campaign Fire By RAYMOND L. LAHR UPI Correspondent Washington-flJPIK-Democratic party rows over the racial is sue kept Republicans supplied today with 'unsolicited ammu nition to be fired during the 1958 political campaign. There was a feeling in both parties that the Democratic 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. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the saper; in fact the contrary ! often the case. - EDITOR'S NOTE Julius E. Davis, 3781 Hil singer id., Medford, whose name appeared below a communication in Monday evening's Mail Tribune, to--day disclaimed authorship of the letter. He said he dis agrees with its contents, and that it was fraudulent ly submitted to the Mail Tribune with his signature appended. The letter dealf with the race for sheriff in the primary and general elections. Develop Industry To the Editor: In regard to improvement of our county: Our Congressman, Charles O. Porter, has some wonder ful ideas for developing South ern Oregon, and I believe we should all get behind him and help to the best of our abil ities. He is wanting to develop pur resources. We have not only our timber and fruit to continue with, but our min eral resources are to be de veloped, which could make this part of the state a very prosperous section. There is no reason whatsoever, that we cannot have smelters," with a real steel industry. We have the iron, chrome,, nickel and every metal necessary for such an industry. This may require two to three years to develop, but "nothing started -nothing gained." This winter like all the past, is going to be rough, with so many people unemployed. Congressman Porter is try ing very hard to promote a highway from the town of Selma, Oregon, down the Illi nois river, to join the present road op the Rogue river at Agnes, on : to Gold ' Beach where our new $4,000,000 harbor is under way. There is also a good route to connect this road at Tin Cup creek, with a road from Brookings, up the Chetco river. Both highways would be on a water grade with the exception of crossing - from the Illinois to the Tin Cup creek. This would complete the highway from ' Winne mucca to the Sea. New high ways would definitely bring about more tourist trade and develop freight routes. Our Congressman, alone, cannot do all these things. He needs a lot of help. Why don't we all write him a let ter so that he will have some thing to present to the United States Congress? Mark Hat field, our Secretary of State, candidate for Governor of Oregon, had a short line in the Medford Tribune express ing an idea to develop min ing, which I believe should be thought about. "Maybe we should vote for him for Gov ernor." Every candidate makes promises he is not able to keep, some do a lot better than others. The forestry got a lot of money for access roads this year, and they could build with the assistance of the state our share of the Winnemucca to the Sea highway. It would . open up a tre mendous amount of timber, also mining territory, which at present can not be reached. I ask everyone to write and help every possible way to develop industry for South ern Oregon. Shorty Hibbard, 1302 Saling ave., Medford. Western Magazines To the Editor: Just re ceived a big shipment of True West" and "Frontier Times," current issues, sent by the editors as a gift to persons of this area who wish to receive them but who have been unable to purchase copies from the stands. Anyone truly interested in receiving a copy may do so by writing a card or letter to the address below, or by call ing "me at SPring 2-4304. A copy will be mailed free, postpaid. These publications are sent to boys' camps, li braries, and even to schools where they are used as refer ence material in preparing historical assignments, and they may be read or sent to others with the assurance that. the stories, inasmuch as it is possible to do so, are research ed and proven true, and that the matter contained will be rift raised a greater threat to that party and a greater prom ise of benefits for the GOP in 1960 than in the current con test for control of Congress. But the Republicans were not letting the issue go unnoticed now. Even while Gov. Orval Fau bus of Arkansas remained the free of sex and sensational ism, per se. More and more historical stories from this section of Oregon will be appearing in future editions, and it will prove interesting to residents and visitors during our com ing Centennial year. These publications are planning a television program based upon their stories, and though they may not contain the sex-sin-silver of fashionable westerns,' they will present much authentic history in a manner most readily accept ed and remembered by many who otherwise would learn little historical fact. Thank you for this op portunity to present this gift to readers and friends. Virginia Card P.O. Box 145 Medford Koch's Protest To the Dear Editor: I would like to thank J. Davis and B. Muse for speaking the truth in Monday night's Communi cations section Of the Medford Mail Tribune, and also thank the Mail Tribune for printing it As I always said the truth never hurts anyone, except the guilty party which will always put up a squawk. But never the honest citizens. The fact is everything he has said has been in the paper before, only in a way that most people do not take time out to put 2 and 2- together and get 4. I would like to answer all the questions put to me by everyone, but even if I try to, the paper would not be able to print it all as they would have to buy their own paper mill'. I would be more than will ing to answer a few questions in the communications if they are legal. But I would like for all of you citizens to know that I did run in the primary election for office of sheriff. for only one reason, that was for law enforcement and to protect the citizens under their constitutional rights and be fail to everyone. During the primary campaigning had a request by several peo ple and threats by others to try and have me withdrawn from the race, which I have proof of. I haye made state ments at such time in my speeches that I was not afraid and never would quit . the race. For the past two years there have been threats made to one of my sons and also to myself to run us . out of busi ness, but that did not work It has been stated by one party at one time even in court, I quote, "I would like to see Mr. Koch run out of town." It has occurred sev eral times since that. I find out now Gilman's Dairy has received threats. Well, I do not call that jus tice, when your fellow man will try to take your living- hood away from you, just be cause they don't like you and do not want fair protection. But I would like to thank all the citizens at this time who did vote for me in the pri mary. Thank you. Ray Koch, P.O. Box 425, , Medford. Needs of Youth To the Editor: In reply to the letter entitled "Why An other Station?" Why another station in deed? The person who wrote that letter seems to wonder about a lot of things. Since when have we be come a nation that frowns on competition? Where would our industries and big busi ness be today if competition had been stopped ionly 50 years ago? Mr. Wonderer stated in his letter that he wondered what the Rogue valley is coming to; assumed the programming will be mostly religious, won ders if the people connected with the new statiop have checked the local stations for religious programs, and un derstands the price is rather high to set a station up for broadcasting. Then he tells the Federal Communications commission they made a mis take by letting KDOV set up operation. My! My! My! - Mr. Wonderer, your infor mation is incorrect concerning the weekly religious pro grams now on the air in the Democratic symbol of South ern resistance to mixing races in schools, Louisiana Demo crats got into a scrap among themselves and probably with the national party over the same issue. ' An "About-Face" r Republican National Chair man Meade Alcorn said Thurs day that Democratic Chairman Paul M. Butler's recent at tacks on Faubus represented an "about-face" to lure Ne gro votes to Northern Demo crats in the Nov. 4 elections. Other developments: , -Vice President Richard M. Nixon said at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday night that the box score averages made by former President Truman against the administration is "no hits, no runs, all errors." Concurrently, the Republican National Committee in Wash ington issued a third "Tru man vs. the truth fact sheet" setting forth "his most promi nent misstatements placed against the facts." -Truman in a speech at Cherokee, Iowa, Thursday night charged that Republi can policies have squeezed 20 billion dollars out of the farm economy since 1952. He told a Democratic rally that this year's bumper crops mean a "tremendous addition to the surplus" and that "farm prices are going to go down again." Slaps Down Committee Butler, meanwhile, was busy slapping down the Louisiana Democratic Committee for its vote Tuesday to remove Ca mille Gravel as the Louisiana member of the Democratic National Committee. He said only the National Committee could expel a member during an elected term and that he did not think the charges against Gravel would be con sidered cause for removal. The Louisiana committee vote was based on charges that Gravel, a Southern mod erate on the civil rights issue, was out of step with the party in his state. As a member of the Democratic Advisory Council, he voted for some of the council's civil rights declarations-if he felt they conformed with the 1956 party platform Unless Gravl changes his mind 'and resigns, the Louisi ana party organization must take its case to the National Committee, where Butler at least has indicated that it would get a cold reception Rogue valley. Our nation was founded a God - fearing, law - abiding highly moral nation. God has been taken out of the training of our youth until now we no longer have the kind of na tion our forefathers intended, I say we need to reach the parents of cur teens as well as our teens with the message God gave us. , If one has. not been taught the commandments of God, how does one measure moral behavior and. conduct? God's word says. If you love Me you'll keep My command ments. My heart aches with the need I see present in our youth, the insecurity they feel. . the restlessness, t the searching and yearning with in themselves for something to satisfy and bring peace and security. Teach them God and acceptance of His laws and rules in their lives and when they become parents they can teach their own children as our forefathers did. Mr. Wonderer, read your Bible. We've got something that will satisfy permanently and won't call for another. It's free for the accepting, and if it costs millions a year to acquaint the public with it, it would be cheap advertising. Salvation and eternal life cannot be bought with money. Christ himself said, "I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundant ly." When our new station comes to this valley bringing God to those who know Him not, that is exactly what those who accept Him will have, and it will last forever. , Geraldine M. Etters 932 Newvown Medford More on Roads To the Editor: I seem to have failed dismally to arouse interest on the part of the county officials toward the covering-up of boulders pro truding above the surface of the Butte Falls-Fish Lake road.' They obviously have no sense of shame, nor anything approaching it in regard to their duties to their employ ers, the people of the County of Jackson, State of Oregon. I believe a good piece of rope would be a bit more effective than all the elections we've had in the county in the past 50 years. I'll agree the above would be an extremely dras tic measure but sure effective. In the editorial of Mr. Frank Jenkins of the Klamath Falls Herald and News , in an swer to my "Letter to the Editor" he evidently thinks of roads in terms of at least In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Foreign affairs: The United States an nounces that American war ships have temporarily stopped escorting Chinese Na tionalist supply vessels , to Quemoy. The state depart ment adds: "If the Chinese communists begin shelling the islands again, however, UJ5. escore activity will be re resumed to the extent neces sary." U.S. State Department Spokesman Lincoln White points out that "the entire ob ject of the U.S. has been to achieve a cease-fire, and obvi ously we hope this cease-fire will continue." AUR State Department an- nounces also that barring unforseen developments all U.S. military forces will be withdrawn from Lebanon by the end of this month. The an nouncement says the current unrest in Lebanon appears to have essentially domestic origins. It was outside interference, the state department says, that caused us to send in troops in the first place. Since the present ruckus is a purely local one, we feel that we can safely get out. T ET'S hope it stays that " way. And let's hope the Chinese commies quit shooting at Que moy. And- Let's add: May the time come when we will have no American troops on foreign soil ANY WHERE in time of peace. The more troops we have on for eign soil in peace time the fewer friends we'll have.. pETTING closer home, a " Klamath county subscri ber writes: "In regard to the "high school at Riddle including French in its curriculum, our local Henley High school is two years ahead of ? them.
