Repeal Anniversary
It took a proclamation by the acting secretary
of state 25 years ago to end Prohibition official
ly, but the revelers had begun celebrating long
before.
When Utah became the 36th and last-needed
state to ratify the 21st amendment, 19 states had
already removed constitutional or statutory bans
on the sale of liquor. As
paper put it, "hundreds
i i
mg inougn ior some oi tnem, at least, re
peal was the end of the line.
By now "speak" an abbreviated form of
"speakeasy" has become almost archaic, along
with booze, rum (except m specific application),
blind pig, saloon, home brew (but not moon
shine), hijacking, bathtub gin, and scores of other
terms in use when the nation was dry.
Now only two states remain nominally "dry"
Mississippi and Oklahoma. And it is no secret
that drinking liquor can be had.
MEARLY 60 million Americans, or about 55
" per cent of the adult population, drink some
form of alcoholic beverage today, according to
a Yale University study. In 1956, elections were
held in 1,454 areas of 25 of the 39 states which
provided for local option, in which nearly 7.5
million persons voted. Added to the "wet" popu
lation were nearly 170,000, according to the Dis
tilled Spirits Institute, raising to 83.8 per cent
the total population living in areas where liquor
is legally sold.
Returns from Nov. 4 local option votes have
not been thoroughly analyzed, but no definite
trend appears either way. The DSI was admitting,
Nov. 7r a net loss for this year to the Drys of 16
governing units, with a population of almost
79,000. But the Wets were rieeful to count in
their number the estimated 212,000 population
of .Prohibiting-free Alaska.
yOTING for ratification of the Prohibition
v amendment in 1919 were 84.6 per cent of the
members of the Senate of the various states; 78.5
per cent of the members of the lower houses. By
lyU, when Prohibition went into effect, 32 states
were legally diy. v.
In 1933, in the election of delegates to the
state conventions that acted on repeal of the 18th
Amendment, the popular vote in the nation was
70 per cent wet, 30 per cent dry. The Repeal
amendment was the only one to be ratified by
state conventions called for that purpose. To pro
tect states wishing to retain Prohibition, Sec. 2
of the amendment provided that "the transpor
tation or importation into any state . . : f or deliv
ery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in
violation of the laws thereof, is hereby pro
hibited." Whether Repeal has brought on greater
drinking is a question on which the iury is still
out. A Columbia University study puts boozing
in the Dry Era at 1.94 gallons per capita per
year. Licensed Beverage Industries, Inc., reports
per capita consumption in 1957 of 1.24 gallons.
Economics may have
it. In 1933 you could get
a tilth. In 1933 the federal tax on a gallon was
$1.10; today it's a walloping, sobering $10.50.

Priests 'To And From Russia
Soon a Roman Catholic priest from the United
States will again be ministering to Roman Cath
olics in the U.S. embassy, and probably other em
bassies, in Moscow. At the same time Archbishop
Boris of the Orthodox church will again be in
this country as Exarch administering: the few
North American parishes under jurisdiction of
the Patriarch at Moscow.
The archbishop technically is here only on
a three-months' visa. But if this isn't renewed,
the U.S. priest in Moscow, Father L. A. Dion of
Worchester, Mass., can expect to find himself
ousted. At least that's the sort of eye-for-an-eye
and tooth-for-a-tooth contretemps that occurred
W2 years ago.
IN MARCH. 1955 the. United States refused to
1 renew the- two-months' visa of Archbishop
Boris, then in this country. Whereupon the Soviet
Union expelled from Soviet territory Father
Georges Bissonette, the U.S. priest in Moscow.
In the following November an agreement
seemed to have been reached for a visa for Arch
bishop Boris and one for Father Dion as Father
Bissonette's successor. But the mutual, visa ex
change fell through because the Archbishop
wanted to minister to U.S. as well as to Russian
nationals here. The Soviet Union wouldn't let
Father Dion serve Russians in Moscow.
Now the two governments stipulate that the
Soviet visa for our priest and our visa for theirs
have been handled separately, are in no sense
interdependent Perish the thought that two
such proud and powerful states as the United
States and the Soviet Union should engage in tit
f or-tat stuff ! E. R. R.

Once again, it needs to, be pointed out that
while the Mail Tribune welcomes, and prints, a
large number of communications, it reserves the
right to edit them for good taste, clarity and con

Occasionally a "Name on file" signature will be
permitted, but not ordinarily on letters "pertain

Also, in selecting letters for publication pref

Washington Report
By William
Washington-Of the Senate's
forthcoming debate on the
filibuster rule it could be said
that rarely
have so many
been so pro
foundly affect
ed by so grave
an issue un
derstood by so
few. The de
cision will
come at a time
when the pow-
wiiiiam swmte er of persuad
ing the country by bland and
happy oversimplifications, by
stirring the fear of being "out
of line," by the comforting
appeal of simply being in the
majority, is incomparably the
greatest in our history.
Everywhere more and more
gaunt television towers beam
out endless messages making
it all too clear who are the
good guys and who the bad
guys in everything-including
the good guys who denounce
and the bad guys who support
a dusty thing called the fili
buster. This is the term for
endless talking in the Senate
to prevent a vote.
And the decision will come
also in a supercharged politi
cal political atmosphere that
will affect and possibly even
decide the 1960 Presidential
contest.
BUT at stake are things in
finitely more important
than all these.
For the background: It is
not now possible to shut off
a major filibuster-short of
simply wearing it out by
letting the filibusters exhaust
themselves-without the votes
of two-thirds of the entire
Senate. The advanced liberals
in both parties wish to pro
vide that a bare majority-
50 of the 98 Senators-could
halt all debate after a speci
fied time. s
The old guard Southerners
will resist any kind of change.
The moderate , Southerners,
some of the Western liberal
Democrats and a good many
Republicans are for a moder
ate alteration. This would per
mit two-thirds of those voting
(instead of two-thirds of the
whole membership) to clamp
down on debate.
The advanced liberals
would fundamentally alter
the Senate, as an institution.
This they bitterly deny; but
it is historically and demon
strably the truth. For the Sen
ate was deliberately designed,
and for nearly two centuries
has so operated, as a frank
check on unqualified majority
rule.. The notion has been that
even majorities may some
times be angrily wrong-as
they were wrong in trying
to draft strikers Into the
Army and to pack the Su
preme court and thus to de
stroy its integrity as an insti
tution. .
THE advanced liberals are
earnest men, but in some
cases they are impassioned
men. Some are like the vio
lent abolitionists of long ago
who much troubled a reason
ably liberal President named
Lincoln. These are inflamed
by their long frustrations in
seeking full civil rights for
Negroes. And, of course, they
are influenced, too, by the
thoroughly legitimate power
of racial minorities at the
polls. . .
The extremists among them
are profoundly . illiberal to
ward any dissent on this ques
tion. Intellectually, some have
blood in some nostrils. They
overlook that many fairly de
cent men-even many liberals
-are . also for civil rights . but
reject" the extreme view on
how far . and how soon the
country can go. The extrem
ists treat respect for consti
tutional tradition as hostility
to civil Tights. '' :
They forget that not long
ago other extremists' these
were on the right wing-treat
S. White
ed opposition to Senator Jo
seph R. McCarthy's attacks
on other constitutional tra
ditions as the equivalent of
pro-communism.
.
TOO, they do not face up to
the fact that any filibuster
can be broken, rule or no
rule, by a substantial and
truly determined majority.
The operative words are "tru
ly determined." What the civil
rights forces have needed far
more than a new rule is more
genuinely devoted-as distin
guished from lip-service-backers.
Perhaps they have those
backers now. Perhaps there
could'be a real effort to break
a civil rights filibuster flat
out and head-on; this corre
spondent has never yet seen
one in 12 years of watching
the Senate.
The advanced liberals can
fairly argue that the Senate
ought to be a place of straight
majority rule. But they can
not fairly argue that the Con
stitution has made it such.
They intend to change the
meaning of the constitutional
structure; surely, they ought
to say so.
And they cannot deny that
there have been times when
a simple majority anti-fili
buster rule could have im
perilled all civil rights. In the
twenties, for illustration, dis
interested scholars estimated
26 states to be politically in
the grip of the Ku Klux Klan.
This could have meant not
50 but 52 votes to halt Sen
ate debate-a majority, no less.
The ultimate victims of
halting Senate debate by sim
ple majority would be any
or every minority and any or
every minority interest or is
sue, given a favorable atmos
phere for the majority.

Transportation ,
To the Editor: I have been
reading the articles in the
Mail Tribune, especially , the
communication column, about
the off street parking. It is up
to the people who reside in
Medford to decide which is
the best and most profitable
for the city and the taxpay
ers. ', ' . '
My viewpoint of the situa
tion is any type of improve
ment which has employment
connected to it would be the
most profitable as a whole.
However, there are many
businessmen who prefer parv
enu employees, which does
not always work out to be the
most profitable for the busi
ness. Every craft requires
training, some more than oth
ers, and every job looks easy.
I have been in the trans
portation business for the past
25 years and many business
men overlook the importance
of this business. We aU know
transportation is the back
bone of any business whether
it be delivering the actual
merchandise or the customers
or both. It not only takes
know-how in the transporta
tion business, it takes cooper
ation. Without each the busi
ness will be a failure. '..
I would be very happy to
donate my time to any of the
businessmen in the city of
Medford who is interested in
improving the downtown
business section.' It is a fact

GOP Chairman, Wilson, Give Differing
Views of What Caused Democratic Win
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington- (UPD -If anyone
is entitled to the floor for a
brief statement on what
licked the Re
publican party
in this year's
election, it is
the National
Chairman
Meade Alcorn.
Alcorn, there
fore, is recog
nized to have
.yie c. wuson his say which,
substantially, is this:
-The right - to - work issue
raised in six states backfired
fatally against Republicans in
tion system more people
would be able to visit the
downtown business establish
ments, and this is taking in
those who do not drive auto
mobiles, too young to drive,
too old to drive, and the han
dicapped who do not drive.
The people of all the cities
had better get together and
decide for themselves which
is the most profitable as a
whole. With much less than a
half million dollars an ade
quate transportation system
could be established in the
city of Medford. We have an
excellent newspaper here in
Medford, and with industry
and transportation added, the
city of Medford would really
grow fast.

For Parking Plan
To the Editor: There are
several facts which should be
understood about the charter
amendment measure which is
to be voted upon Wednesday,
Dec. 10.
First, and most important I
think, is- that we should all
understand that this is not a
general tax levy. Only prop
erty owners within a narrow,
well-defined downtown area
will be assessed to support
off-street parking.
Second, the city council
and administration have thor
oughly investigated and have
acted carefully in following
out the legal requirements for
bringing such a measure to a
vote. It is . their informed
judgment that the procedure
embodied in Measure 51 is
the most practical method of
arriving at a good off-street
parking program. There is no
reasonable question of any de
sire on their part to acquire
powers which might be mis
used in any way.
Third, passage of this mea
sure is vital to the progress
of Medford. It is extremely
important that additional
parking be provided. This has
been the opinion of every ex
pert who has surveyed the
parking situation in Medford
in recent years, and there
have been many such surveys
Medford is far behind other
Oregon cities of its size in de
veloping such a program. A
vote for Measure 51 is a vote
of confidence in Medford's
future.
I am particularly pleased to
have the opportunity to vote
for Measure 51.

Now Is The Time
To the Editor: The years I
served on the city planning
commission proved one fact to
me, "Do not underestimate
the future growth of Med
ford."
The Oregon state water re
sources board estimates Med
ford's population will double
in the next 20 years. Other
estimates by equally reliable
agencies indicate the same
trend.
Our parking ; problem is
acute now both for . shoppers
and businessmen the in
creased population, which
will surely develop in the fu
ture will make the parking
situation chaos. Now is the
time to solve this problem,
not "manana." We are pre
sented with a proposition that
is well thought out, of no cost
to the homeowners, and with
adequate safeguards for all
concerned.
My recommenda tion
whether you are housewife,
homeowner, businessman or
business property owner, is to
vote YES on the charter
amendment next Wednesday.
Don Root
P.O. Box 129
Medford
From Ex-Mayor Collins
To the Editor: The great
problem of off-street parking
seems to be the problem of
paying the cost of the new
facility without increasing
the taxes of anyone except the
property owners affected.
Truly a communistic idea and
by some considered commend
able. To make the tax more
equitable, I suggest-that the
city put parking meters in
Hawthorne. Park' (over 100
cars are parked there all day
daily , at the tax payers ex
pense); increase the tax on
all personal property in the
five of . those states and in
many places elsewhere.

Joseph Alsop " J u B
this improved perspective
suggests to this reporter that
something needs to be said
about the peculiar grammar
of Middle Eastern politics
The grammar is so specializ
ed, in fact, that the vast ma
jority of Americans must con
tinuously misread the vital
story of this troubled region.
For example, it is perfect
ly true that the dominant
themes are the longing of the
Arabs to free themselves of
foreign influence, and the im
pulse of the Arabs to join in
a broad national union. This
longing and this impulse have
destroyed almost aU of the
neo-colonial structure of Brit
ish power in this area.. They
have given this great strength
to Gamal Abdel Nasser. They
have made the Syrian-Egyptian
union and they have
brought down the Monarchy
of Iraq. But the picture of the
Arabs as a "nation struggling
to be free" is altogether too
simple. It does not convey any
of the practical and some
times ugly . realities of the
process. For the active parti
cipants in the struggle are not
all the inhabitants, or even a
modest majority of the in
habitants of any Arab coun
try. The active participants
are only "the army and the
street" - a phrase always in
the mouths of all practical
Arab politicians.
TN . OTHER WORDS, the
A peasants of ' the country
side, the people of the villages
and small towns and lesser
cities even, are relatively pas
sive spectators of the struggle
The desert tribes, too, have
ceased to count except in
Jordan and Saudi Arabia, and
even in Jordan,- the tribes
men only count because they
dominate the army. In gen
eral, governments are made
and unmade, kept in power
or destroyed, by an interplay
between the soldiers in uni
form and the teeming popular
tions of the capital cities -
"the street."
Furthermore, even in the
army and even in the street,
the officers count for almost
everything and the troops for
almost nothing. The officers
cannot run absolutely count
er to the sentiment of the
troops. That was the lesson
of the 1957 plot in Jordan,
when Gen. All Abu Neuwar
and his military co-conspira
tors were defeated by the Be
douin loyalty to King Hussein
of the Arab Legion rank and
file. But without the officers
to give the orders, the troops
will not move, even in a di
rection that commands their
enthusiasm.
It may seem strange to
speak of the street having of
ficers and troops, in the man
ner of an army Yet it is not
inaccurate to do so, since the
crowds in the Middle Eastern
capital cities must also be
organized before they move.
Gamal Abdel Nasser, with his
Cairo radio, his new slogans,
and his wide net of adherents
in aU the Arab lands, was the
first and most successful or
ganizer of the street. Therein,
in fact, lay his first great
strength.
But both in Baghdad and
district, such as merchandise
and office equipment. Tax all
churches in the area, as it is
claimed by some that there is
parking problem with them.
In other words, those who are
benefited by the improvement
should bear their share of the
tax.
If the financing of the proj
ect is handled in this manner
I am sure the bond election
will carry.

-Political labor's contribu
tions of .' money, manpower
and propaganda almost exclu
sively were in behalf of Dem
ocratic candidates.
-Pockets of unemployment
scared voters away from the
GOP.
By Joseph Alsop
in Nasser's own northern capi
tal of Damascus, the pro-Nasser
street organizations are
now in open competition with
the street organizations of the
Communists. In Baghdad,
something very like a gang
war went on until recently
between the faction favoring
union now with Egypt and the
faction of the Communists
who hope to dominate and in
depednent Iraq. In the out
come, the Communist gang
sters triumphed, and the Nasser-enthusiasts
have given up
the struggle for the time
being.
.
YET THIS Communist vic
torv in th war frr nnntrnl
of the street in Baghdad by
no means ensures a final
Communist .victory in Iraq. !
For the two rules of Arab
poltics are, first, that the
army and the street cannot be
resisted when they are to
gether. But, second, the street
is always defeated by the
army when the two are in
conflict.
The second rule explains
King Hussein's persistent sur
vival in Jordan, where tne
street is against the Mon
archy. The second rule also
explains why Brig. Abdel
Karim Kassem may yet be
master in his own house, in
stead of being transformed
into the Kremlin's new ver
sion of the late Nuri Pasha.
For Kassem has the army and
the police at his disposal, and
if he chooses to use these as
sets, and if he acts in time,
the street-victory of the
Communists will not keep
them in power.
The 'two rules above-cited
also explain why modern
Arab political processes are
so violent and so devious.
Conspiracies among army of
ficers, and the organized
movements of inflamed mobs,
are in fact the two devices by
which great new decisions are
reached. ,
But there is only one worse
mistake than refusing to face
this repelent reality. This is
the mistake of forgetting that
the pattern of Arab politics is
quite largely determined by
the prevailing level of life,
and ignoring the genuine im
pulse to be free and united
that inspires so many of the
conspirators and so many in
the mobs.

Alcorn worked this up as a
speech for delivery last week
before the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers assem
bled in New York. Demo
cratic national chairman Paul
M. Butler spoke ahead of Al
corn. Butler so needled him in
discussing the Republican
election reverses that Alcorn
diverted the emphasis of his
own remarks to a sharp reply
to his Democratic opposite
number. .
Alcorn's discussion of what
hit the Republican party add
ed up to an expression of baf
flement Like President Eisen
hower, Alcorn seemed to won
der what it. was that voters
wanted that the administra
tion had not done. . -
Citing decreasing unem
ployment and a rising busi
ness activity, Alcorn ' could
not understand why voter ma
jorities in so many areas be
lieved that the Democratic
party was a better bulwark
than the Republican party
ag a i n s t unemployment. Al
corn's puzzlement arose from
his finding that an average of
13 per cent of the total U.S.
labor force was unemployed
during the peacetime years of
the Roosevelt and Truman ad
ministrations in comparison
with 4.5 per cent of unem
ployment in the Eisenhower
years.
Effect of Labor
Alcorn indicated the im
pact of political labor on the
election with a preliminary
calculation that of candidates
aided by labor only three of
191 for the House and two of
30 for the Senate were Repub
licans. The chairman left out of
account however, some elec
tion factors which have im
pressed others. These includ
ed the costly fact that the Re
publicans had to battle the
1958 campaign without the
help of major issues which
