First and foremost thankfulness that we live in a small town. Secondly, it proved that the automobile is probably the biggest single factor in the Ameri can way of life. . Third, it showed that, if nothing else, Ameri ca is going to have to solve the problems of auto mobile traffic, air pollution and diminishing space if the amenities which make life worth liv ing are going to remain. . '. rVEE first conclusion, obviously, is the result of the other two. We are far too fond of "elbow room,"'of forested hills and untrammeled fields, of driving to work m lYz minutes, and of all the other things which can. still be enjoyed in the Rogue Valley, ever to be seriously tempted by the lure of metropolitanism. As for the automobile, no one can gainsay its convenience under when it takes a full hour to downtown San Francisco across the giant Bay bridge, and every inch of the way in bumper-to-bumper traffic which barely crawls along; when it takes five to ten minutes to drive a city block in ban Francisco itself:. when the fumes from ex hausts sting the eyes, and when it becomes a necessity to be ill-rmannered if one ever gets any where then the automobile is more than a convenience. A car by itself is wonderful : en mass, it is a monster which is choking cities, threatening life and limb, destroying important values, and re making the faces of the to their advantage. 11713 CAN propose no solution, although the " development of super-fast, super-convenient mass transportation (if there could be such thing) would solve some of the problem. Our own solution is to live where life, while getting constantly more ess so than m the burgeoning thousands m the Bay area, or the already crowded Los Angeles coastal plain, both of them capped by a layer of dirty, polluted air. As to the air pollution, it isn t a joke any onger. .;,-, There was a day when no smart comedian could resist taking a crack at the eye-stinging, nose-clogging stuff. They still do. But to residents plagued with it, it's far from funny any more. Los Angeles, for instance, and to an only slightly esser degree, San Francisco, must imd out what o do about it, and then FINALLY, diminishing purely by two things automobiles. People need space to work and live, and cars need space to move and park. In the growing suburbs of great metropolitan areas, housing developments and freeways seem o be the greatest space And the best solution ewer people and fewer is unrealistic to say the least. So the next-best solution, one becoming more and more important to all growing communities and those which can logically expect continued growth, is to provide for that growth in an or derly manner. This means and rules and regulations into bearable patterns. . , THE alternative is municipal (and suburban) The sad fact is that people are only too prone o "let George do it,"-or "let it slide" until it is ob late. Then come massive relocation and recon struction programs. Jackson county stands in the path of a tide of northward and westward creeping population. Any official, and group, any responsible, citi zen who obstructs vitally needed programs of planning to accomodate it is, in effect, cutting off his area's nose to spite its face. E. A. St. Paul's Cathedral; London A special American chapel has been dedi cated in St. Paul's Cathedral, London. -It honors American soldiers of World War II who are buried in Britain or who, buried elsewhere, had been based there. The cathedral with the new American, chapel is second . only to Westminister Abbey in fame among the churches of London. St. Paul's is the outstanding example of Renaissance church ar chitecture in all England. Located in the finan cial district, its magnificent dome dominates the London landscape. f IKE THE Westminister Abbey that tourists " know, the earlier St. Paul's had been in Gothic style, although incorporating some of the earlier Norman architecture. But it was destroyed be yond repair in the great London fire of 1666. To Sir Christopher Wren was entrusted the plan of the new cathedral, and of the original Gothic he kept only the floor plan. Construction took 35 years 1675 to 1710. St. Paul's suffered one idirect bomb hit in World War II but assiduous fire-fighting squads kept it from being destroyed by fire bombs. The surrounding area "suffered more heavily. Indeed, the open spaces around the Cathedral today as a result of war bombing allow it to be better seen and appreciated than when hemmed in by all manner of buildings before the war. E.R.R. a trip we have made few additional thoughts it revived m us a great most circumstances.

Dennis the Menace 'I ftWr TUWK lP'S PEELING CQMPLMBD ABOUT HIM ALL Matter of Fact THE NEW KREMLIN LINE Baghdad, Iraq , Despite the romance of its name and past, this squalid, teeming, fiTR" TSS1 mud - colored city has' al ways been one of the dreari est capitals of the Arab lands. It is no less dreary now. But now Baghdad is vividly, even .ms.nh AUnn painiuuy in teresting, as the place where you can see the Kremlin's new Middle East line. The Kremlin's adoption of a new Middle, Eastern strategy is a less dramatic development than the Kremlin's power play at Berlin. Yet it is com parable, all the same, for it is another striking proof of the Kremlin's growing bold ness. . " The essence of the change of strategy "' is simple. For merly the Soviets supported and worked through Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. Nasser's Arab nationalist movement was, and so to say, the dagger the Soviets hoped to plunge into the West's soft belly, For this purpose, the Communist parties in all Arab countries were formerly ordered to serve 7 under Nasser's com mand, as mere auxiliaries in his movement. - THIS system of using Nasser as the sole instrument of Soviet purposes in this area has now been abandoned. The Arab Communist parties are waging their own, wholly in dependent struggle for power, without regard to Nasser," and even in opposition to Nasser. Here in Iraq, for instance, the Communists are energetically working to transform the rev olutionary Prime Minister, Brigadier Abdel Karim Kas sem,.into the Kremlin's Pasha, as responsive to Moscow's promptings as Nuri used to be responsive 'to the promptings of London. " ' The change in the Kremlin line was first revealed in Syr ia, in the coup d'etat at Da mascus in the summer of 1957. The subsequent Syrian ma neuver that produces the United Arab Republic was to contain and if possible destroy the growing power of the Syr ian Communists, by merging Syria-with Egypt. Here in Baghdad, however,' the Kremlin's new line has been much more boldly and frankly revealed. From the moment when the old govern ment was upset, the pro-nas-ser Arab nationalists actively agitated to merge Iraq with Egypt on the Syrian pattern. And from the same moment, the Communists opposed the Nasserites. . ... AFTER the revolution, the Nasser underground and Try and is r -By BENNETT CERF- TWO ADVERTISING tycoons, dining in an expensive restau rant that befitted their expense accounts, fell into a violent argument. One beckoned a waiter to ask, "Could you lend us a dime to settle a bet?" The waiter produced the dime, the coin was flipped, the argument settled and eventually the check was produced. One item there on startled the tycoons even though they were only signing the agency's name. It read, "Loan of - a dime: 25c" Cedric Adams tells of two dauntless fishermen who were trolling for muskellunge on a lake in northern Minnesota. The muskies were vicious that day, and snapping at everything but they absolutely refused to be hooked. ' . "I say we quit," said one fisherman finally. "Okay by me," agreed the other. "I don't mind them having Sunday dinner off my bait, but what gets me is when they shove their heads up, lean back on their flippers, and use my line for dental floss!" O 12SS, by Bensttt Ctrl Distributed by Stag Tituru Syndicate, ' , WELL. VAYl . By Joseph Alsop the Communist underground were the only political organi zations with any strength in the bazaars. Their - conflict reached the - stage of armed clashes more than once; but finally the Nasserites were roundly defeated. The end came with arrest of "Nasser's excitable supporter, the num ber two leader of the revolu tion, Colonel Abdel Salam Aref. The Nasserites have now yielded to the Communists, in effect acknowledging their en emies superior strength by re joining the so-called "National Front" of revolutionary par ties. . As one could see when the reestablishment of the "Na tional Front" was celebrated here, the Communists now control the city , crowds. The huge demonstration in one of the local parks was quite ob viously organized by the Com munists, almost single handed. By. the same token, after the Nasserite forces announced a boycott, the- Communists, re cently swept the. elections in the Iraqi student, unions. In the same manner, they . are expected to gain control of the labor unions that are now being formed. Most important of all, the Kremlin is carrying on an amazingly bold, even flagrant propaganda campaign among the non-Arab Kurds. . Money is being spent. Arms are being sent to the Kurds from the So viet Union (in addition to the arms previously sent by Nas ser from Syria;. The Kurds are being encouraged to hope for a "greater Kurdistan", in cluding huge chunks of both Turkey and Iran. The organ izer of all this is the Kurdish Communist agent, the-Mullah Mustafa Barzani, who weaves his . web nowadays from the Semiramis Hotel here in Baghdad. : The agitation among the Kurds is so important for two reasons, pn the one hand, the Kurds will be harder to con trol than a mere city crowd. On the other hand, almost all of Iraq's mineral resources, and especially the vital oil sources, are in predominantly Kurdish Northern Iraq. SUCH is the progress that the Communists have alrearlv . made outside the government. Inside the government, . they have also made progress in three different ways. In the first place, they have posed and are still posing as the most enthusiastic supporters of Brigadier Kassem, who wants Iraq to be independent of Nasser for his won, quite different reasons.' They gave Kassem valuable support dur ing the crisis caused by Colo nel Aref.

Crasy Music To the Editor: It strikes me the radio stations of this area have the worst selections of music, if it could be called that, possible. I've got some selections on an old Edison cylinder - type phonograph here which are far'better- than one can get by tuning in to any of our local radio sta tions. One never hears on our local stations, at least I've been unsuccessful, such tunes on a fiddle as "Turkey in the Straw," "Hell Among The Yearlings," "Fishers Horn pipe," "McLeod's Reel," "Dur- angs' Hornpipe," "Eighth of January," "Did You Ever See The Devil, Uncle Joe," "Haste to the Wedding," etc.. etc. All one can get on our rocal radio stations is rock and roll with a whang bang crash bam squeal and blare from some kind of horn. I'll say. the "mu sic" of today is very low qual ity and too much quantity. usuaUy turn off the radio except for the news. TV is no better, in fact it's a tossup as to which is worse. How any sane person can enjoy most of it is beyond comprehension. I heard a psychiatrist say on a TV program about a year and a half ago that the time was coming when they'd put the normal people inside and turn the rest loose as it would take less room. Per sonally I think he is right and the craze (??)for music such as is being played today certainly proves it. Floyd R. McCabe Mt. Pitt Star Route , Butte Falls. Thanks to Medford To the Editor: The Medford Pathfinders have asked me to convey their very sincere thanks to members of this community for helping to make the Halloween .and Thanksgiving season especial ly pleasant for them this year. These boys and girls, aged 10 to 15, went out before Hal loween, ringing doorbells and asking, instead of a treat for themselves, a can of food to be used in Thanksgiving , bas kets. May I say to Medford folks who answered those doorbells, Your response was wonder ful." When the 40 -some youngsters who went out in the project counted the things you so generously contributed they had 837 cans of food in addition to v walnuts, pump Kins, ' squash and some cash contributions. And that wasn't all, the director received phone calls for several days from people who had heard about the project, and set out boxes which were not picked up. Unfortunately a group of 40 youngsters was not able to cover the entire territory of Medford in one evening, and many of you who wanted to lend a helping hand did not have the opportunity to do so. Since tnis was the first year the club has attempted this type of project, and they did not foresee the extent of your response, they were not organized to reach everyone. Another year they wUl be bet ter prepared. ' The . night before Thanks giving the youngsters deliv ered the baskets themselves, ister at this moment. In the second, place, Com munists now occupy at least one and probably two or three key ministerial posts. Thirdly, the Communist and Commu nist - sympathizing ministers are doing their best to create opportunities for Soviet and satellite technicians to enter Iraq in uncontrolled mobs, to run the new projects planned under the Iraq's stepped up development program, to ex ploit formerly under-exploited oil concessions, and so on. Altogether, the Communist effort here is very formidable indeed. Yet a visit to Baghdad is an oddly cheering experi ence. As already recorded, Brigadier Kassem does not look like the kind of man who wUl consent in the end to be the Kremlin's Nuri. And, as will be shown, Kassem can still master the Communists just as he mastered the Nas serites, if he decides to do so before it is too late, (e) 1958.

South Grape Phone SP Nixon at Work Shoring Up GOP Organization in California By WILLIAM THEIS Washington (GPD Vice Pres ident Richard M.

Post-election forecasts that Nixon would take over the GOP organization in'the wake of its Nov. 4 debacle bore first friut in a series of huddles Editorial Comment DUNCAN GROOMED? Democratic members of the Oregon Legislature have elected Walter Pearson and Robert Duncan to lead them in the upcoming session, Pear son as president of the Senate and Duncan as Speaker of the House.' Pearson, once state treasurer, has been active in Democratic party affairs for many years. We doubt that he has aspirations to seek a ma jor office. Duncan is another story. A young Medford law yer, he served his first term in the legislature two years ago. It is no secret that he is being groomed for a shot at a major office. Pendleton East-Ortgonian. PRESS RETURNS HOLD UP Once again, official returns, three weeks after election day, have confirmed the rela tive accuracy of unofficial re turns compiled by the press. Few voters realize they de pend on unofficial computa tions by the press to learn the outcome of the election within hours after polls close. The official results coming days later are of interest only if contests are close and as a measure of the dependabil ity of the unoffical returns. Margin of error in the press tally of the Multnomah Coun ty vote, Nov. 4, was generally less than 1 per cent, it is- revealed by a comparison of the official and unofficial fig ures. Gov.-elect Hatfield's margin of victory was in creased by 1,120 about one half of .1 per cent of the total votes cast. - The unofficial totals appear to be as accurate as could be expected from an operation in which haste -is a necessary factor. We don't know anyone who would rather forego the unofficial tabulations and wait three weeks to get his election returns with the ad ded degree of accuracy time permits. The .

Press Secretary Seventh Day Adventist Church Medford Liked Editorial To the Editor: Your edito rial (E.R.R.) in today's M.T.; World Wide Ship Boycott is so timely and constitutes such a warning to us as a nation as well as individuals, that a let ter of commendation would seem ouite worthwhile. Espe cially so when such factual publications as the U.S. News and World Report, and Chris tian Science Monitor carry such a wealth of information of what labor union monopo lies are up to, it surely is en couraging when our own daily newspaper gives us a kibitzer view into the edito rial think tank. It has been quite some time since our president kindly asked labor and industry not make any further price de mands. What was union la bor's answer? A rash of strikes including the crippling jurisdictional that does not include the industry con cerned but is a wrecker of it just the same. So, thanks again for a most timely and heart warming editorial. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore. " Bus Riders To the Editor: The Commu nists seem to think they are pretty, smart.

Everett Acklin Ashland, Ore. 2-4100 EASY PARKINS with California Republican leaders here. Nixon met individually with 15 county and state lead ers from his home state at his Capitol office Monday. Then he conferred with the entire group until midnight at his Washington home. He invited GOP State Chairman George Milias and his 14 Cali fornia Republican associates PAROLE FOR HUGH D'AUTREMONT The State Board of Parole and Probation has awarded a parole to Hugh D'Autremont one of three brothers who were convicted for one of the most dastardly crimes in the annals of Oregon. That was the attempted robbery of the Southern Pacific mail train at a tunnel in the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Ore gon in 1923. The train was halted, three trainmen were shot to death and a mail clerk was killed in dynamiting the mail car. The robbers failed, however, to get any loot. The' three D'Autremont brothers, Ray, Roy and Hugh, the youngest, were indicted but were not apprehended for four years. Hugh was tried and convicted in 1927 and sentenced to life imprison ment. Factors which led to the parole were Hugh's good con duct in prison where he has spent 31 years, and his youth at the time of the crime 23 years of age. For years parole boards have regarded Hugh's case with some favof. Hang ing over him, however, were other indictments growing out of the crime. Postal authori ties were long adamant against any parole or commu tation. It was necessary to clear these indictments be fore a parole would have much value. This was done when Hugh plead guilty to a state and a federal charge Other charges were dismissed. The sentence on the former was the same as for the first offense and on the second he was put on probation by Judge Gus Solomon who not ed that the state had jurisdic tion over and custody of the defendent. These actions op ened the way for Hugh's par ole which now has been ap proved by the parole board. . j It is not ' surprising that protest has been made by some of those who participat erf in the trial. Georee Neun- er, who assisted in ihe prose cution, called it a "damned outrage." and Charles A Wing, of Grants Pass, one of the iurors. said he was "strongly opposed" to the par- ore. Undoubtedly many felt that the D'Autremonts should have been executed, and many will feel that Hugh should be confined in prison all his life. But if rehabilita tion is an objective of impris onment, then those who achieve it deserve mitigation of punishment, even for the blackest of crimes. Hugh's case has been studied so long by the parole board and pris on officials that the board's decision should be accepted and respected. The board sometimes makes mistakes. The papers which reported Hugh's parole re ported also the arrest of one Jess William Neal in Port land oc a charge of armed robery, just 12 days after his release on parole from the Oregon state prison. But the percentage of parolees who so straight" is high, and the system has fully justified it self. Hugh now seeks employ ment and obscurity. We hope that he finds both. Oregon Statesman, Salem.

MEDFORD INSURANCE AGENCY 27 NORTH HOLLY ST. t ;K - ' j f f A " I vi to dinner and a review of the day's earlier individual talks. Milias, who said the group did not even discuss presiden tial aspirations with Nixon, reported the talks resulted in a Republican party organiza tional program for California.' He said it would be refined and presented to the Exepu tive Committee of the State Central Committee Jan., 10 in San Mateo, Calif. He said it dealt essentially with party organization, registration of voters, and fund - raising through a drive aimed at small contributors. The Leader Milias said he thousrht li California Republicans were looking to Nixon as their leader. Nixon's action made it he intends to be a takeover party leader in his own state, at least to the extent this is satisfactory to his fellnur.p. publicans. Milias himself said ne had asked the Vice Presi dent to confer with th leaders. The conferences cam nn the heels of Nixon's selection of one of his former campaign lieutenants, Robert H. Finch or ios Angeles, to be his ad ministrative assistant for the next two politically critical years. . Finch is a youne attornev when has been serving as chairman of the Los Angeles County GOP Central commit tee. His job, it was under stood, will be to work lar?cv ly on Republican organization al problems. Nixon's Monday conierences were the first step in this program. Milias said m an interview that Monday's discussion t were part of a party effort rather than a drive to nush Nixon for the presidential nomination. Work Needed However, it has been clear since the congressional elec tions that Nixon would have to assert his own leadership and shore up the GOP in his home state in advance of tho Republican national conven tion in 1960. Milias said that while the party leaders all were "sup porters of the vice president" they included friends of Sen ate GOP leader William F. Knowland and Gov. Goodwin Knight. 1 Knowland was beaten for the governorship by Demo cratic Attornev General Ed mund Brown. Knight lost the race for Knnwlanri'i con at seat to Democratic Rep.
