"Go-Ahead" Needed
We wouldn't be a city councilman for love nor
money.
Members of the council don't do it for money,
so they must do it for love. We suspect some of
them on occasion must think they should have
had their heads examined.
For it seems to be the nature of some citizens
to question the integrity, the motives and the
intelligence of members of the council, who they
themselves elect, when a substantial matter of
public policy is involved.
Disagreement is understandable. But charges
which boil down to misfeasance, malfeasance
or nonfeasance are not.
A CASE in point is the proposal, to be decided
at the polls tomorrow, which -wTould permit
the council and city administration to proceed
with an orderly development of off-street park
ing in the city.
There are a few debatable arguments against
the way in which the matter has been presented.
But some of the opposition has not been satisfied
to use these legitimate arguments. Instead it has
resorted to "scare" tactics, misrepresentation, and
more or less personal attacks against the integrity
of city officials and members of the council.
We've seen this done
is that we still find men willing to make real and
considerable sacrifices necessary to -serve on the
council.
PARENTHETICALLY, right here, we'd like to
point out that this is the first time we recall
that the mayor and the council have come right
out m .favor of a city measure.
In the past they have recognized the need,
passed the necessary ordinances, called an elec
tion, and let the people decide without any word,
pro or con, from the council as such.
This time, they believe the matter is of suffi
cient importance that they have all come out un
equivocally in support of the proposal some
thing which takes a certain amount of courage
in a controversial situation.
. This is the kind of leadership we need.
a
AS TO the parking proposal itself, the Mail
Tribune is on record as supporting it.
It will raise no taxes. It will cost no more
money than anyone is paying the city now
except for the downtown merchants who will pay
the assessments levied against the parking dis
trict. And even in the case of these merchants,
the costs will not be prohibitive.
It will be a major and progressive step forward.
To defeat the proposal would just postpone a
solution. And this at a time when costs are rising,
when the problem is growing more pressing, and
when Medford is attempting to attract industrial
payrolls to bolster its economy. .
IT HAS been argued:
1 1. Procedures in state law should be follow
ed, and an assessment district be set up, before
vote is taken.
2. Revenue bonds, not bonds backed bv the
city's credit, should be used.
The answers, which
are these :
1. That the state law
in the charter amendment itself ; that it would be
getting ahead of oneself to set up an assessment
district beiore the authority to do so were ex
pressly given by the voters.
2. Revenue bonds for
are not salable. Backing by the credit of the city
is necessary to make them so. The city is being
asked to back the bonds
it," which is about as risky as an individual co
signing a note with Nelson Rockefeller.
e
IF THERE is any risk involved (and we doubt
strongly that there is any), it is being bora
entirely by property-owners in the downtown as
sessment district.
It is they who have encouraged this develop
ment, who will pay a substantial part of the bill,
and whose properties will be standing behind the
bonds in the unlikely event there is any default
in payment. ,
People have said: "Let the merchants pay
for it; they're. the ones who benefit."
That is true in part; it is also true that they
ARE the ones paying a major share of the bill.
It is also true that everyone in the city (to say
nothing of out-of-town shoppers) will benefit
from easier parking in the downtown area.
And it seems entirely equitable that the pay
off should be divided roughly into thirds: from
the merchants and property-owners downtown,
from the off-street parkers, and from the on
street parkers all of whom benefit to a demon
strable degree.
A SOMEWHAT similar proposal, was defeated
by Medford voters just over two years ago.
The margin of loss was 393 votes.
It seems to us that most of the undesirable
features of that proposal have been removed,
and that anyone can vote for this plan with a
clear conscience, knowing that it is a progressive
step for the city, and will result in benefits, both
tangible and intangible, to residents, merchants
and shoppers.
We hope the voters agree, and give the city
the go-ahead to w-ork out the further orderly de
velopment of the project: p. A. - - -

Matter of Fact
A MOST CURIOUS
CONVERSATION
Cairo, Egypt - One of the
most curious conversations in
this reporter's sadly long ex-
PS neri e n c e is
doubly worth
recording, just
because it was
so revealing.
The circum
stances them
selves were
curious, to be
gin with; Ak
ram Hourani,
Joseph Aisop co-iounaer 01
the United Arab Republic and
one of the cleverest men in
the Arab world, has changed
a good deal lately. When he
was the most powerful man
in Syria, Hourani received
one in a squalid office and
talked with great fire and
frankness.
Now that he is Vice Presi
dent of the new Syrian-Egyp
tian Republic he helped to
found, Hourani has an office
that verges on the pompous,
but the fire of the man has
been somehow extinguished.
Possibly this lack of fire is
traceable to the fact that he
now has "planning functions
only" without executive pow
er. At first, he even seemed to
wish to limit his talk with an
old acquaintance . to subjects
of tested conventionality, such
as the inequities of Israel.
TUT of all Arab leaders,
" Hourani is the one who
best understands the rule of
the late Charles " McNary:
"Never demagogue when the
doors are closed." He was ask
ed about the new situation in
Baghdad, where the Commu
nists have roundly defeated
Hourani's own former party,
the Baath, and have thus
blocked the drive for union
now with Egypt. At first he
grandly proclaimed that "all
Arabs must rejoice" because
the Iraquis' have thrown off
the "yoke" of the hated Nuri
Pasha. But then another ques
tion was put to him:
"But what if Nuri, whom
you say belonged to Britain,
is merely replaced by another
Nuri belonging to the Krem
lin?" "The East and West are get
ting together on problems of
the Arab lands," he answered
with apparent irrelevance but
with a flash of the old fire.
"The Communist party and
the western powers now seem
to have an understanding.
Both work to block our move
ment of Arab union."
TTE WAS reminded of an
" earlier conversation, in
the old Syrian days. Then
Hourani was cooperating with
the Communists himself, and
he then explained that this
was safe to do, because the
Communists were also "good
Arab nationalists." "Oh, he
replied, "that was entirely
temporary." But, "now the
Communists and the West
agree on certain points, which
are against the Arabs. They
join in fighting the movement
of Arab unity."
Two facts were pointed out
in reply: First, that the west
ern powers certainly do not
wish to see a Communist vic
tory in Baghdad or anywhere
else; and second, that, western
influence in Baghdad has been
rather less than western influ
ence on the moon since the
coup de etat in Irak. But this
only evoked an incredulous
smile, plus the reply that "the
pressure of the Baghdad Pact
on the people of Iraq was in
the interests of the Commu
nist Party." So the strength of
the Iraqi Communists was all
the fault of the West from the
very beginning,
"I do not think the Commu
nists . will win in the end,"
A k r a m Hourani continued.
"Or at least I hope they won't
because I believe the Iraqi
people like aU Arabs want in
dependence and union. We are
against all foreign interfer
ence of whatever sort. Inter
ferences may differ in charac
ter but they are the same in
purpose." " '" " " ' "
cookies cxum5ub. .
By Joseph Alsop
THE suggestion was put for
ward that nothing was
more surprising than the si
lence in the Arab world about
this new Communist interfer
ence in Iraq, which was so
much more seriously menac
ing to Arab independence
than the old, weak British in
fluence of the past. The first
reply was a repetition of the
argument that it was all the
fault of the West anyway, be
cause of the Baghdad Pact.
"As a result, there is a Com
munist . tendency in Iraq,"
Hourani continued. "But there
is also a strong Arab tenden
cy, and the Iraqi people will
decide."
"But if the Arabs so bitter
ly attacked the old interfer
ence by the Communists,
which is really an interfer
ence by the Soviets?" he was
asked.
"Do you want us to attack
Russia?" was the visibly sur
prised reply. "There is a dif
ference between Russia and
the Communist party. Al
though we are friends with
Russia, we fight the Commu
nists. Meanwhile, does not the
American Embassy in Bagh
dad cooperate with , the Com
munist party there?"
THIS last question was not
asked rhetorically but with
meaning and almost with a
prosecutor's air. It did little
good to reply that no Ameri
can Embassy had ever coop
erated with Communists any
where. But once again the an
swering smile expressed un
belief; and so ended this most
curious conversation.
It was a revealing conver
sation for two reasons.
The idea that the western
powers are now promoting a
Communist's triumph in the
Arab court, for the sole pur
pose of frustrating "legitimate
Arab aspirations," is genuine
ly held here by serious per
sons on the highest level of
government. And besides this
interesting idea, the conversa
tion also revealed a good deal
about the probable local reac
tion to ths Kremlin's new in
tervention in the Middle East.

Editorial Comment
IN BEHALF OF NEW
SHAKESPEAREAN
THEATER
In this season of giving, an
appeal for donations in being
made by a most meritorious
group. The Oregon Shakes
pearean Festival building
fund committee, 216 Leverette
building, Medford, is seeking
the sum of $275,000 to build
a replica of an Elizabethan
theater.
The structure is to rise in
Ashland, replacing a building
condemned three years ago as
a firetrap, now in process of
demolition. The appeal for
aid is going far beyond the
boundaries of Ashland or Med
ford, or even of Oregon, for
the annual Shakespearean
Festival in Ashland is famous
internationally, and it is be
lieved that its friends wher
ever dispersed will answer the
call.
The Shakespearean Festival
originated in 1935, presenting
works of the Bard to small
audiences from the stage of a
former Chautauque shell. So
well were the dramas and
comedies presented that each
year saw an increase in at
tendance until the audiences
were counted in the thousands
and actors and actresses of
national reputation sought
roles in the productions.
The season of 1958 had a
total attendance of 29,585. It
enjoyed its greatest box of
fice. But with progress came
the problem: Expand or per
ish. The fire marshal had per
mitted the stage to be used
three years after finding it a
menace to the safety of the
actors. In 1958 he decided it
was hazardous for an audi

Pig in a Poke?
To the Editor: We are asked
to vote for something that we
know very little about in the
off-street parking issue. The
whole plan is so vague and
tentative. Why don't they pre
sent a concrete plan with de
tail as to who will pay and
how duch. They claim it will
pay for itself but they plan to
take up to 25 per cent or
$125,000 from parking reve
nues. which actually amounts
to the same thing as taking
that amount from the general
fund which is desperately
needed elsewhere.
Except for possibly the
month of December, there
doesn't appear to be as" great
a need for off-street parking
as is claimed. The other 11
months I have seldom had
to park more than two blocks
from anyplace downtown.
This city needs other things a
lot more than parking facilH
ties, for instance, adequate
street lighting. Except for a
small downtown area, the
street lighting is very poor.
The $125,000 would go a long
way toward filling this need,
and everyone would benefit
from it and not only a chosen
few.
Merchants who have at
great expense provided then
own parking have had no
help from anyone. Would it
be fair to them? And to top
it off soma of them are in
the proposed assessable area
which would have to help
pay for this extravagance.
It seems that the voice of
the people was ignored when
the city council appropriated
the $50,000 for the off-street
parking program not long
after the people had defeated
this issue on the ballot.
If it is such a sound busi
ness venture why doesn't
some of the businessmen grab
it for an investment? The
same reason the bond buyers
won't touch it too much in
vestment for the revenue!!
We are asked to buy a pig
in a poke and trust in them
to work out the details later.
I can't see it! Too vague.

, Editor's note: In fairness, it
should be pointed out that a
definite plan has been pre
sented, spelling out who will
pay, and how much; that the
plan now favored is designed
to pay-off at 40 per cent of
capacity; that it is designed
to accommodate peak parking
loads; that street lighting is
an entirely different subject
and one on which there are
also dissenting opinions; that
some of the merchants who
have, at considerable expense,
provided some of their own
off-street parking are among
the strongest supporters of the
present plan, and finally, that
the investment is of a size
to make it difficult for mer
chants, alone and unaided, to
make the initial capital invest
ment needed.

Let's Vote Yes
To the Editor: I would like
to commend the mayor and
the council of Medford for
their orderly approach t o
Medford's parking problem.
As one who has worked on
this problem for many years
(having been on the original
parking committee appointed
by the late Mayor Flynn) I
well appreciate the many and
varied problems involved.
The administration's and
council's present request for
the voters to approve the
charter amendment at the
polls Dec. 10 is the first step
in the right direction.
It is in no way a tax meas
ure regardless of what
some have said to the con
trary. It amounts to enabling
legislation which will make
the eventual assessment dis
trict bonds more marketable
to potential bond buyers. This
step was recommended as a
"must" by one of the out
standing bonding authorities
in the state of Oregon.
There have been a number
of very comprehensive artic
les in the Mail Tribune, both
newswise and editoriaUy,
that should by now have in
formed the voters on the facts
about the Dec. 10 ballot. The
news articles have quoted
various city officials and
councilmen people who
know what the problems are
and who are trying to do what
they feel is best for all the
people. I for one, will support
these, our elected officials,
against any of the self-ap
pointed parking and tax ex
perts that have tried to con
fuse the public relative to
this election, and by the ob
vious content of their state
ments have not taken the
time to study the true issue
being requested.
There are 37 towns in Ore
gon with an off-street park
ing program; Medford, the
fourth largest, has none. The
city request for voter approv
al for the charter amendment
is the first orderly step to
fiU this gap. It is a step rec
ommended by responsible peo
ple who have studied the is
sue. It is not a tax measure.
Therefore, let us go to the
polls on Wednesday, Dec. 10,
and vote YES. YES, we ap
prove the amendment; YES
we have faith in our elected
officials that they are trying
to do their honest best for
the present good and true
growth of Medford. That
spells PROGRESS.

they were at the top; all but
Josus, that is. We forget that
they were even babes at alL
So why do we keep Jesus a
babe in our worship, when He
is truly King of the World,
and King of Kings? Why don't
we adore that King on His
Birthday according to His
Majesty and Power? A man
courageous and gracious
- pi ugh to be crucified for our
sakes. A man kind and loving,
pati nt and understanding. A
man ready to forgive and
ready to help. A man who
reached greater maturity and
divinity than anyone has ever
achieved and through our God
healed many who suffered
from disease and affliction.
He is on His throne in Hea
ven, it is to in is tnrone we
should approach to worship
Him at Christmas time, in
awe at His great Majesty and
Love. The birthday of our
King! We need to think of
Him as a King, not a babe. We
need to raise our voices in
His praise and thangskiving
that God has given us this
wondrous gift. And when we
have raised Him up, He will
return unto us to remove the
evils from the earth.
