ASA warning against aircraft, this network
probably is the finest, slickest and fastest-act

man.
But it is obsolete or
obsolescent almost before it is fully placed m
service.
For the age of aircraft in warfare is ending,
The sky giants, which can carry nuclear destruc
tion in their bellies, are fast being replaced by
missiles. One defensive squadron alreadv is
scheduled for the Willamette valley. And offen
sive missiles are at a stage of development where
they soon will replace bombers.
AN ATLAS intercontinental ballistic missile
" the other day was given its first full-range
test. It flew more than 6,000 miles across the south
Atlantic, and landed within 30 miles of its target.
The Russians are (dependine; on whose esti
mates one reads) slightly behind, equal, slightly
ahead, or far ahead of the United States m de
velopment of such "ultimate weapons."
As a result, the long-predicted era of the
"missile deadlock" is at
ade, it has been an atomic or nuclear deadlock.
Now this is combined with missiles which cannot
be successfully detected, and cannot be destroyed
even if they are detected.
..-'
rjETECTION and destruction systems for guid-
ed missiles may be developed eventually. In
warfare, actual or potential, most weapons in
time produce their own defenses, and vice versa.
It may be that the end is not yet.
But, with the weapons of today, we cannot
conceive of anyone be he Russian or American
pushing the . button which will set m motion
automatic weapons of destruction which will kill
millions of persons, and, perhaps more important
from the button pusher's point of view, auto
matically set off retaliatory weapons of equal
potency and destructiveness.
DERHAPS we are too sanguine.
Perhaps an imbalance in the "deadlock of
terror" will make it possible for one side to start
a missile-nuclear war with some hope of winning.
(It is this possibility which has so exercised Jo
seph Alsop and others.)
Perhaps new weapons

technologically, that the
afford even to continue
All these things are
with the space age already in its lusty infancy.
IT IS also possible that our own short-term opti-
mism about the chance of general war is due
to lack of information.' Our government has been
less than candid with its own people as to our
progress in military arts, and in many cases far
too pollyanna-ish in what it has reported.
But, in balance, we believe that the U.S. is
at least sufficiently on a par with Russia, mili
tarily, that neither side can afford to start any
thing major.
And we must work to maintain our techno
logical progress, simply to keep the balance, let
alone forge ahead. This will take sacrifice.
A RMAMENTS are unbelievably expensive, and
it is into these that by far the largest part
of the federal tax dollar is poured- If it were not
for armaments, the federal government could
do all those things which so many citizens be
lieve are important and necessary if our nation
is to move ahead in the things which it needs,
and which only government can provide.
But some of them, at any rate, must be post
poned until the day when the fear of a major
catastrophic war abates.
. Armament expenditures are like fire insur
ance. One hopes it will never be needed, but one
cannot afford to take the chance to do without it.
...
1MEANWHILE, this fat, rich, materialistic
America which at the same time is de
veloping so rapidly in non-materialistic ways
must make-do with perhaps fewer of the ameni
ties which we would like, simply in order to pay
for the fire insurance.
Never before in history have so many people
lived so well as in America today. -
It would be nice to believe that this will con
tinue, and even improve.
But it is the cold war which deters this prog
ress in material things, and, to an. extent, in the
non-material. For if ever there were to be an all
out nuclear-missile war or one fought from the
depths of nearby space our comforts, our luxu
ries, our "progress" in all lines, would be gone.
We don't see it happening, as long as we keep
the fire insurance until the house is fireproofed.

THE GRAND MANNER
Washington - A sturdy old
man who has just passed his
84th birthday has every rea-
son to say
aloud now
what he will
never in fact
say - "I told
you so."
The o mi
aous Russian
press u r e on
t h e Western
position in
William S White Germany
would not exist today had Sir
Winston Churchill not been
overborne 15 years ago at the
wartime Teheran Conference
by Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Josef Stalin.
This conference produced a
Big Three decision, with
Churchill's reluctant assent,
that the one supreme Allied
operation of 1944 was to be
a cross-cnannei invasion 01
Hitler Germany. For months
the Prime Minister, whose
long view of history was not
matched on the Western side,
had wanted to conduct action
in the Balkans as well.
HE WISHED to make cer
tain thereby that Ameri
can-British military power
would be standing there at
war's end to prevent a Soviet
absorption of Southern and
Central Eurorie. Churchill's
nlan would have altered the
postwar world immeasurably.
As things were allowed to de
velop, Russian troops reached
Berlin simultaneously with
the Allies. The terribly expos
ed western salient in Berlin
today-a salient lying a hun
dred miles back of the Iron
Curtain-is one of the results.
Another is that all Europe
from Berlin eastward and
most of it southward through
the Danube basin is in Soviet
or satellite hands.
Reviews of what might
have been are rarely useful.
The only justification for this
is that it might throw some
light upon current Allied
problems. Too, it might in a
small way point out. that all
wishful current thinking of a
possibly "reasonable" Soviet
attitude about Germany is a
most perilous kind of think
ing. The days of 1943 are being
relived now in other minds
than Churchill's. Vainly he
tried to convince Mr. Roose
velt that it was one thing to
welcome Russian aid against
Hitler and quite another thing
to suppose that we could do
business with the Kremlin
after the war.
THESE were both great men.
But Mr. Roosevelt persist
ed in a sunny confidence in
the Soviet Union which the
wiser partner, Churchill,
knew to be as unsound as it
was attractive. And these
were both gay men. But Mr.

TO GIVE YOU a rough idea of what newspaper" editors in

roared.
"First," insisted the clerk
on duty, "you gotta tell us
what you want to shoot him
in reference to."
Alfred Hitchcock conjured
up the most ingenious "lead
in" for a TV commercial I've
heard in years. "When I was
a lad," recalled Mr. H 1 had
an uncle who often stood me
to dinner. He always accom
panied these dinners with in
terminable stories about himself. But I listened carefully because he
was paying the check. I don't know what reminded me of my dear
uncle, but we are about to have one of our commercials."

Roosevelt's gayety was truly
that; Mr. Churchill's gayety
overlay a deep philosophic
skepticism. And because of his
martial gusto he had the hab
it in Allied war councils of
throwing off grandiose ideas,
if only to stir laggard minds.
Because of this, because he
was unashamedly a Tory and
because he behaved in a grand
manner that seemed to take
little account of the cost, his
advice, even when given in
mortal seriousness, was some
times discounted at the wrong
time!
' , His personal acts 'tended
further to foster the notion
that "Winston" was as erratic
as he was brilliant. Both the
American and British high
commands were in terror on
and after D-Day in Normandy
that "The Old Man" would
come over and insist on tak
ing personal charge. There
was an amiable conspiracy "to
keep the P.M. at home." For
a little while, he submitted.
But a few weeks after the in
vasion beachheads had been
driven in, he could stand it no
longer.
ONE day, in August of 1944,
this correspondent happen
ed to be at a British fighter
base in Normandy. Word
spread across that part of the
front: "Churchill is coming
over!" Soon, as we all anxious
ly watched the skies, a cap
tured German observation
plane, a Storka, began a wob
bly descent. '
Out stepped the pudgy fig
ure in his square black hat
and with something in his
pocket, which may have been
a bottle of brandy. The Prime
Minister's pilot was an air
vice-marshal, who did not suc
ceed in his earnest efforts not
to look disapproving at this
adventure. After all, to fly
over an active British front in
a German aircraft was, so to
speak, a little dangerous.
But Churchill himself was
in high good humor. He an
nounced hp had come to brief
the troops on the attempt that
had been made on Hitler's life
in Germany in July. "They
missed the old bahstard," he
said with a grin to the airmen
sitting in a semi-circle around
him.
"But," he added, with a
great wave of his cigar,
"there's time yet."

Make Medford Beautiful
To the Editor: The drive by
our daily to spur all to
definite action in making our
city and vicinity beautiful
should be approved by all, for
even for our own viewing as
well as possible settlers an at
tractive city and vicinity is
inviting. Heartily, success to
the effort.
However, the same urge
prevents us allowing in our
selves the likeness of the
ostrich who by hiding his
neaa in me sand supposes
himself hidden from view,
The basic moral and spiritual
conditions should be on a par
if not in better trim than phy
sical appearances, and should
give us more concern. Dis
criminate tourists, visitors,
ana possioie settlers major
most seriously in judging
these basic qualifications. In
this respect we also need to
make Medford beautiful.
Quite recently the word
pictures of undesirable, even
shocking things existent in
Medford, made all our faces
red and stunned our minds
with astonishment.
A juvenile sex club in Med
ford! Liquor consuming, sex
promiscuity, youth parties in
homes with parents absent!
Aghast . we ask, how come?
But a little matter-of-fact re
flection gives us the answer.
How can we rule out these
disastrous enemies of moral
and spiritual values?
Can the atmospheres in our
homes, and., the general aura
of juvenile surroundings be
improved? Are we allowing
pitfalls to plunge our youths
to disaster?
Are not the following ever
fruitful pitfalls?
Pornographic movies and
television shows. Unclean
literature In cheap form fed
by news stands and other
sources to our unsuspecting
and plastic teenagers. Pro
grams, in our schools that
feature leg-shows and shame
ful exposure of the body. Par
ents who consider modesty
old-fashioned and prudish -and
since fashion says undress
and get tanned turn their
teenage daughters out in
warm weather on streets and
elsewhere half or less than
half clothed. And alcoholic
beverages! Note the plenty
sufficient outlets we have:
Grocery markets, resturants,
clubs, and vending stores
make intoxicants easily ob
tainable. What spurs youth to wrong
doing? No one who has his
head hidden in the sand can
answer, neither can he who
says, "My mind's made up,
don't confuse me with facts."
Every agency that contri
butes to the demoralization of
our populace should be ex
cluded from our midst.
-Let's get back to God and
to right standards of living.
Let's make Medford beauti
ful in these basic respects
also.

Music on Radio
To the Editor: I am usually
not inclined to writing letters
to the editor, but feel that it
might be interesting to answer
Mr. McCabe's letter regarding
radio station music program
ing. In general I agree with
what Mr. McCabe has to say
about the music that is avail
able to radio stations on rec
ords through normal channels.
However, the selections he
lists I am sure do not strike a
responsive cord to program
directors who must keep in
mind the varying tastes of his
vast audience.
We at KMED recently com
pleted a study and made cer
tain investments to organize.
through program director Ed
Lewis, a music policy by
which the station is now pro
gramed, and designed to ap
peal to an adult audience. I
invite Mr. McCabe to listen
critically to KMED's hour by
hour music plan, and I am
sure he will find that much is
being done to improve the
quality of music available to
the listeners of southern Ore
gon through our station.
I further invite Mr. McCabe
to sit down with me in my of
fice to discuss music on radio,
for I think it would be inter
esting to both.

Parking Is a Problem
To the Editor: I have been
asked on numerous occasions
lately whether there is really
a parking problem in Med
ford, and I thought I should
write a letter setting forth
what I have observed con
cerning the parking situation
in Medford during my two
years as municipal, judge.
Approximately one-half the
violations in city court over
the past two years have been
connected with parking, ei
ther improper parking, meter
tickets, overtime parking, or
moving violations connected
with view obstructed by park
ed cars, such as, failure to
yield the right of way. After
having listened to hundreds
of these cases and talking to
people who have come in, it is
very apparent to me that the
lack of adequate parking and
congestion in the downtown
area are responsible for the
great majority of these cases.
There has been an increase
in the number of these cases
from month to month. In the
month of October, 1958, for
example, there were 160 im
proper parking citations, 25
warrants issued on overdue
meter tickets, 71 overtime
parking citations in one or
two hour zones, and 7 failure
to yield the right of way cita
tions. Noreen A. Kelly

next week on the City Off
Street Parking Proposal. This
will be a special election on
Dec. 10-and very "special"
for the city of Medford as it
speus i-KULfrtuiSB ior our
city.
What we will really be say
ing by voting "yes" on this
proposal is:
"Yes, Mr. Mayor and City
Councilmen. We elected you
because we knew of your con
cern for our city's problems
and your good judgment in
solving them.
"Yes, because we know
what is good for the business
of Medford is good for all of
Medford.
"Yes, because being the
fourth largest city of the state
of Oregon, we have an obliga

growth.
"Yes, because we under
stand that this formal approv
al of the charter amendment
will enable us to solve our
own problem. . .
Yes, because this plan
will make 4t more convenient
for us to park our cars when
shopping.
"Yes, because our tourists
and guests will- see further
proof that Medford is among
the most up-and-coming cities
of the state of Oregon."

Ha Says "Vote No"
To the Editor: The promot
ers, of this vicious off-street
parking bill have had over
four years to work out at least
some of the details and what
do they have to date? The
only sure , thing they know is
that they want the voters of
Medford to hand them a
signed blank check for a half
million dollars.
A few questions
If they are so careful and
saving of public funds, why
wasn't this bill put on the
regular ballot a few weeks
in the Day's News
By FRANK
Interesting note in the
news:
The armed forces told a
house subcommittee in Wash
ington on Tuesday that the
government owns nearly one
and a half BILLION dollars
worth of industrial plants that
are producing nothing.
Reports submitted to a
house armed services subcom
mittee by the army, navy and
air force showed that the un
ago instead of calling a spe
cial election? Elections cost
money and tax payers pay the
bill. They evidently decided
that the tax payer was fed up
with spend, waste and more
spend and their pet bill would
be defeated. (This decision
was sound as the results of
the November election
proved.) So they decided to
hold a special election which
would draw relatively few
voters, thus giving them a dis
tinct advantage. This delay
also allowed them to determ
ine if their men would be
elected to the city council.
Present taxpaying private
parking lots are used less than
half of capacity. One owner of
three downtown private park
ing lots was forced to sell one
lot because of lack of patron
age. Incidentally, he offered
this lot for sale at a fair price
to the people who are so urg
ently pushing this controver
sial bill, but they were not
interested. Instead they have
visions of getting their hands
on lush public funds to do
with as they please. It "would
be interesting to know what
distress property would be
sold to the city (at a fat profit)
if this bill should pass.
Any private taxpaying prop
erty sold to the city becomes
tax free with the resulting
deficit added to the already
overburdened taxpayer.
Is there a genuine need for
off-street parking? When Port
land felt a need for off-street
parking, private capital
rushed in and established tax
paying lots which proved fi
nancially sound. But I repeat,
the need was there and the
taxpayer was not asked to
finance' the government in
this venture. What government-run
project ever proves
anything but a waste and a
rat hole for public funds?
Keep your taxes down. Vote
No!!!

used plants originally cost
the federal government $1,
409,392,221 but would cost
much more than that to re
place now.
The reports said the gov
ernment is spending about 31
million dollars a year to main
tain the plants.
TTOW did it come about? ;
li. Well, one must presume
that it came about because
our federal government has
become so UNIMAGINABLY
big that mere trifles like a
billion and a half dollars
worth of industrial plants are
FORGOTTEN - much as an
ordinary citizen lays a pack
age of cigarettes aside in a
seldom used drawer of his
desk and forgets all about it.
That's the trouble with big
ness. It gets unwieldy.
WHAT to do about it?
' ' That brings up an in
teresting story. The McNary
dam site, up on the Columbia
river near the town of Uma
tilla, has just been leased to
a couple of California indus
trialists - Robert and William
Schultz, owners and operators
of the R. S. Engineering and
Manufacturing company Of .
Los Angeles. '
The Schultz brothers- will
hold a five-year lease, with an
optional renewal clause. They
will pay $1,200 a month for
the site, which includes homes
built by the government for
dam construction workers.
These homes have stood emp
ty since the McNary dam was ;
completed.
The new owners presently i
plan to build a house trailer
manufacturing plant on the i
344-acre site. Under their con- ;
tract, they can in the future
sublease any part of the town
site to other industries The J
homes now standing idle will ?
then be occupied by workers
in the new private enterprises !
that may be attracted to the ?
location. - ?
fFHAT'S good business.
Letting a billion and a
half dollars worth of indus
trial plants, owned by the '
federal government, stand
idle at an annual maintenance
cost of 31 million dollars!
ISN'T good business. J,,
It is sheer careless over
sight. This carelessness, we
must remember, if we are to-:
be fair about it, arises NOT;
out of dishonesty or incompev
