INCOME REMAINS HIGH
Madison, Tenn. -0IPD- Being
In the Army hasn't affected
the income of entertainer
Elvis Presley very much. Tom
Parker, the singer's manager,
said Thursday that Elvis earn
ed about $2 million in 1958-
very close to the figure for
1957 when he was a civilian.
Movies and records brought
in the money.
Parking- Now What?
For the second time, Medford voters have de
feated, an off-street parking program.
. The defeat was not overwhelming, but it was
sufficiently decisive to put the quietus on the plan
proposed, in slightly differing forms, in Novem
ber of 1956 and December of 1958.
The only reason for attempting to assess the
reasons for the defeatris to see if some workable
plan can be devised which will meet with the
approval of a majority of Medford residents. We
still believe that most of them recognize the need,
and that the two plans were defeated largely as
a result of the way they were presented.
piRST, the fact that a general obligation bond
1 issue was called for is, we believe, the decisive
factor in the two defeats. Residents and taxpayers
simply would not believe the assurances given
them that the bonds would never become a bur
den on their property. And, in line with exper
ience of the past few years, thev voted down any
thing; that smacked, correctlv or not. of taxes.
Second, there were
plan spelled out in considerable detail exactly
who is going to pay exactly how much in exactly
what way, where the-
before they were willing to say "yes" with their
votes.
If these two objections r,re met, we think a
parking measure would pass.
TTHERE were other imponderables involved in
, the measure's defeat.
One woman called" to express her dismay at
the congested condition of the polls, and the fact
that in some instances voters had to wait for per
iods ranging up to more than an hour., She said
that some of her friends, who had planned to
vote "yes," simply decided not to wait that long
and go home. '
The weather cold,
after 5 p.m. may have kept others away from
the polls.
And a final imponderable is the fact that there
has been little sense or urgency about off-street
parking, similar to the urgency of voting for, say,
a badly needed new school, or sewer system, or
something which is of direct and observable bene
fit. HTHERE was a time when municipal sewers, or
streets, or street lighting, or parks, or recrea
tional facilities were not thought to be a proper
function of cities.
As time passed, people came to the realiza
tion that muncipal action on these problems was
the only realistic way to solve them, and the
necessary authority was granted to the cities.
Universal recognition of the fact that park
ing is coming to be a problem in the same cate
gory, needing municipal action, is just as slow
coming as was the earlier recognition of other
functions which now universally belong to cities.
It is coming but it is coming slowly.
MOW THAT the people have spoken, we be
lieve it is up to the merchants and the city
council to follow, the permissive features of the
1957 off-street parking
ment district, to spell out in detail what their
program will be, and then
to the people to ask their
Ti ll.l
it seems oovious uiat tne. voters win reject,
any plan which obligates the city generally. For
this reason the financing should be explained in
specific detail, and there should be an under
standing that no general levy would become pos
sible. We can understand the disappointment of
those who have worked so long and so hard to
work out a practicable plan. But they should not
let this disappoint discourage them.
Some day Medford will have a parking pro
gram. It is now up to the city, and the merchants
and property-owners who will benefit, to work
one out which will be acceptable to the voters of
the city. And it may be that an entirely new
approach is needed. E.A.
Cycling Revival
The Eugene Register-Guard, its nose tilted
slightly in the air, notes patronizingly but approve
ingly that students, at Oregon State college in
Corvallis have "discovered" the bicycle.
The Guard's editorial .writer, presumably a
vigorous, outdoor type,
long been iashionable on Eastern campuses, but
that the sturdy Western students have thought of
them as nothing but kid stuff.
Now, however, he finds the Beavers' new
discovery salutary, and commends the practice
to students on the University of Oregon campus
in Eugene. , ,
HE SAYS, for instance :
"OSC students who bicycle through Corvallis
streets will discover, at their slower pace, what they
are sojourning in a pleasant as well as a sleepy little
town. They'll make friends with village dogs and with
one another."
(We can hardly wait to see the rejoinder from
terrible-tempered Bob Ingalls, editor of the Cor
vallis Gazette-Times, after this, for the long
slumbering rivalry between the two towns and
the two papers has iiarea up again in recent
months).
But the fact remains that bicycling IS a
healthful and inexpensive and pleasant means
of transportation, and we'd all be better off if
we tried it, students and adults alike.
As it is, it seems as though everyone in Med
ford, except elementary and junior high school
students and Shoe Repairman Wilbur Gardner,
has forgotten how to get anywhere except by
automobile. E.A.
many who wanted the
lots would be, and so on
damp, foggy and dark
law, to set up an assess
to go back, once again,
approval.

Washington Report
By William
MODERATE MANSFIELD
Washington - The Far West
has a new leader in the Senate
and in the highest foreign
policy coun
cils of the
United States,
Senator Mike
Mansfield of
Montana. Cur
iously, he has
not sought out
the honor; ac
tually, it has
come and tug
William S Ulhll. ECU
ly at his sleeve.
Indeed, upon the life and
times of Mike Mansfield there
hangs a tale that might be
called paradox triumphant.
Nothing about him follows
the familiar scripts. For he
has come to great power al
most against his will.
He has been returned to the
Senate with the greatest vic
tory at the polls scored by
any Senator in a two-party
state m the country - 76.3
per cent of the total vote
This was a more decisive re
election score even than
those of two much more pub
licized Senators - John F,
Kennedy of Massachusetts,
73.5 per cent, and Stuart
Symington of Missouri, 66.1
per cent. "
Any one of these figures
may speak loudest of all.
NEVERTHELESS, he has
tics commonly regarded as
standard to politicians. He is
very quiet and shy, rather
than cheerfully aggressive
TT j i -
ne is studious ana even a
little bookish, rather than
hearty and backslapping. He
speaks briefly and infrequent
ly, rather than long and often,
sometimes ne is unsure
about what ought to be done
about major issues - and
candidly says as much in
stead of being absolutely and
automatically positive with
the answers.
In fact, he is a master poll
tician, although, given all his
background, he never should
have been anything of the
kind.
He does not really wish to
run anything or anybody; to
hold a seat in the Senate is
enough for his ambitions. In
the last Congress he lightly
bore and rather apologetically
used his influence as assist
ant Democratic leader, a post
that was pressed upon him in
the first place. This time, how
ever, he will have "no choice
but to use it more often and
more openly.
piOR the West is the emerg
ing force in the Senate
and Mansfield is inevitably
its spokesman. Moreover, the
greatly enlarged Democratic
majorities will provide more
work and more problems for
all the party hierarchy. Thus
an added part of this general
ioaa must now tan upon
Mansfield. So, too, will an in
creasing loreign policy re
sponsibility on a man who is
a "strong" member of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
And the Mansfield who is
a reluctant powerhouse has a
parallel in the Mansfield who
is an untypical Westerner. To
conform to the stereotypes he
ought to be almost exactly
what he is not. He fits the pat
tern only in the physical
sense. He is appropriately tall
and leathery.
But he has no big hat, no
Western drawl - and no in
terests ' that are exclusively
Western. In no way does he
suggest the wide open spaces
and the great outdoors. In
stead, he suggests the library
-the college library at that.
He was born 56 years ago,
not on any range but in New
York City. His parents moved
to Montana when he was
three years old. As a boy he
dug in the mines at Butte.
It is a high, curiously cosmo
politan city where the great
U CANY CLIMB OVSP .
S. White
controlling copper corpora'
tions have long since adopted
a philosohical attitude toward
the necessity of having
Democrat Mansfield rep
resenting Montana in Wash
ington.
H
E NEVER went to high
and studied in his own way
until he was able to go di
rectly to Montana State Uni
versity. He took a Master's
degree there and wound up
bearmg what is sometimes
fatal curse politically-he was
a professor, no less, in Latin
American and Far Eastern
history.
He is the only member of
the Senate who has been
private, or the equivalent, in
three, of the armed forces -
Army, Navy, Marines. As
Marine he served, in the
'twenties, in the Philippines
Siberia, Japan and China.
He began his career as an
unqualified liberal but he has
progressively moVed into the
center of the - Democratic
party. He is, in a word, one
of the "moderaters." And
these, by all present signs
have inherited the balance of
power in the Far West.

Battle of Purse Shaping Up
In Congress; Lobbies Ready
By Congressional Quarterly
Washington-(CQ)-With the
opening of the 86th Congress
less than a month away,
lobbyists are taking their
places for a year-long tug-of-war.
The biggest lobby battles
wiU be dollars-and-cents ones.
The Eisenhower Administra
tion, faced with a $12 billion
deficit in its budget, will try
to economize by pulling the
Federal Government out of
several programs which give
money to states and cities. It
will also oppose many new
programs that involve spend
ing Federal money.
But since every major pro
gram has pressure groups
guarding it, the Administra
tion's attempts will be chal
lenged. Often, the Eisenhow
er Administration and . con
servative lobbies will be on
one side and the Democratic
majority in Congress and lib
eral lobbies on the other.
Major Fights
These shape up as major
battles in the 'Administration's
expected economy campaign:

tration will want to reduce

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK
From U.N. headquarters in
New York comes this interest
ing note in the news:
The free world marked Hu
man Kignts Day tms weeK
with a new drive to condemn
Russia for its continued "re
pression in Hungary of funda
mental rights of the Hungari
an people."
The Western powers re
leased the next of its resolu
tion on the tenth anniversary
of the Universal Declaration,
WHICH WAS SIGNED BY
RUSSIA, guaranteeing the
rights of man.
HPHAT is to say:
Ten years ago Russia
signed a solemn declaration
guaranteeing THE RIGHTS
OF MAN. Ever since, she has
been riding rough-shod over
the rights of man in Hun
gary and elsewhere through
out her slave, empire.
Food for thought:
Why sign an agreement
with Russia to ban testing of
nuclear weapons when we
have before us this flat proof
that Communist Russia re
gards solemn agreements as
mere scraps of paper to be
torn up when it suits her pur
poses to tear them up?
Why sign an agreement
with someone whose word is
no good?
BUILDING note in the news:
More houses will be start
ed in the United States in
1959, but they'll cost more.
That the consensus of a group
of house builders at an out
look symposium sponsored in
Washington this week by the
National Association of Home
Builders.
The builders say they ex
pect a five per cent spurt in
housing starts next year, but
forecast a price increase of
at least five per cent over this
year.
That's what we call infla
tion.
IITHAT is inflation?

wonderful friends.
There just aren't adequate
words to express my apprecia
tion, and no one will ever
know how much it has meant
or what a great help it has
been to me.
Thank you, all of you, from
the bottom of my heart.
I have a great hope of be
ing re-united with our dear
one again in that land where
there will be no more tears or
parting, and I hope and pray
that we'll see each and every
one of you there too.

the late amuel Gompers; to
his patriotism, as well.
Samuel Gompers might be
the name of a race horse or of
a movie magnate, long dead,
so far as most of today's
Americans are concerned. He
was, however, the great man
of the U.S. labor movement, a
cigar-maker by trade who was
born in England and who died
Dec. 13, 1924, full of honors
conferred by his adopted
homeland.
Gompers was one of the
founders of the AFL and its
president from that founding
in 1886 until his death, except
during the year 1895.
Opposed by Gompers
Gompers was firmly against
organized labor setting up its
slums, renew cities and build
public housing units. The
AFL-CIO, American Muni-;
cipal association and Nation
al Housing Conference will
press for more Federal help,
not less. The National Asso
ciation of Home Builders and
National Association of Real
Estate Boards are likely to
push for a housing bill more
liberal than the Administra
tion wants. The Democratic
leadership is committed to
getting an omnibus housing
bill passed.
EDUCATION - The Admin
istration opposed giving states
Federal money to ' build
schools in 1958. It is expected
to take a similar stand in
1959. But the National Educa
tion Association, the teachers'
lobby, will press for a broad
Federal aid program, includ
ing both money for construc
tion and teachers' salaries.
The Administration will be
supported by the Chamber of
Commerce of the U. S., long
opposed to Federal aid for
school construction.
AIRPORTS-The Air Trans
port Association, American
Municipal Association and
AFL-CIO will press anew for
Federal money to help com-
JENKINS
to frighten us. It has teeth.
They can bite.
Continuing inflation can
price the United States out of
world markets-if it continues
long enough. That would be
bad for all of us.
W
ILL we check inflation?
One wonders.
Checking inflation means
doing it the hard way. Just
letting things slide is the
EASY WAY.
Human beings who are
VERY human tend to choose
the easy way.

own political party although
as an Englishman he must
have been intimately aware
of the political movement
sparked by British labor in
1900 which is the powerful
British Socialist party of to
day. Perhaps that was because
Gompers also was acutely
aware of what was happening
inside the British Labor par
ty. The substantially conserva
tive British Laborites who
founded a party 58 years ago
had no suspicion, in their in
nocence, that they actually
had contrived the political
cradle of bigtime British So
cialism. By 1924, however, and the
years immediately Drecedine
Gompers' death, the Socialist
munities build airports. Presi
dent Eisenhower vetoed the
proposal in 1958. But this time
there are far more liberal
Democrats to contend with.
Also, Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas)
included the airport program
on his legislative agenda. So
an attempt probably would
be made to override a veto
PUBLIC POWER - The
American Public Power As
sociation will press for more
Federal hydroelectric pro
ects, not less. It wants more
starts authorized in the Paci
fic Northwest and some in the
Northeast. The association
feels the Democratic majority
in Congress will be on its side.
It is optimistic about TVA's
chances of getting authority
to issue revenue bonds so it
can get money for expanding
its facilities. The Administra
tion will try to save its "part
nership policy" and probably
will oppose spending on any
new projects. The National
Rural Electric Cooperative
Association, representing pub
lic power cooperatives, claims
the Administration has
master plan for wrecking the
Rural Electrification Adniin
istration's program. It says it
will fight a life and death
battle to keep the Adminis
tration from raising the 2 per
cent interest rate on REA
loans.
LABOR - The Administra
tion will try to hold the lid
on such labor legislation as
unemployment insurance and
the minimum wage law. But
here it will have to fight the
10.5 million member AFL
CIO and its numerous allies
in Congress. Besides' liberal
izing unemployment insur
ance and the minimum wage
law. the Administration is
faced with AFL-CIO demands
for public works legislation,
Federal aid for areas suffer
ing chronic unemployment,
reduced income taxes for low
and middle income families
and Federal health Insurance
for the aged.
Since everybody from bee
keepers to lighthouse keepers
have lobby , organizations in
Washington, the Eisenhower
Administration will have to
look long and hard in 1959
for a place where it can cut
funds without hearing screams
of protest.

identity of what is miscalled
the British Labor nartv was
clearly evident. Its first and
long time secretary, the man
who molded it in the Socialist
pattern was, himself, an intel
lectual and a Socialist, the
late James Ramsay McDon
ald. MacDonald came to be
British prime minister in
time. '
MacDonald, Gompers Disagree
Your correspondent intpr-
viewed Ramsay MacDonald in
1923 in the small House of
Commons office alloted to the
leader of His Maiestv's lnval
opposition. The Labor party
naa come so far since 1900 as
to be second most numerous
in the House of Commons at
the expense of the somewhat
left wing Liberal party. The
Conservatives were in power.
Kamsay MacDonald recom
mended in that interview that
U.S. labor follow the British
lead and create a political
party of its own.
The United Press New York
news desk referred that Lon
don dispatch promptly to .Sam
Gompers for comment. With
snap and vigor the old man
repudiated the whole idea. No
political party for him. Re
ward your friends and oppose
your enemies, was Gompers'
political creed.
Meany wasn't very enthu
siastic this week about setting
up a labor party. He said it
would be done if labor could
not otherwise gain its politi
cal objectives. The 2,842 lis
tening delegates of the New
York AFL - CIO convention,
however, greeted the idea
with booming cheers.
Gompers wouldn't have
been cheering had he been
there. He watched labor go
political in his native land and
was not pleased.
Editorial Comment -
DOING RIGHT
Today's text comes from
two 'sources, "the Rev. Billy
Graham and Dr. Kermit Eby,
professor of social sciences at
the University of Chicago.
They say important things in'
a world preoccupied with'
rocketry and the tactics of a
cold war.
Billy Graham says we must
"out live" and "out believe"
the Communists, suggesting
that survival as free, digni
fied people entails more than:
what we normally regard as
the trappings of diplomacy
and war. '
And Dr. Eby says, "I don't
feel America should be strong'
so we can stop Russia, but we
must be morally strong be-"
cause it's right. We must treat
minorities as equals, not be
cause we want them as allies,
but because it's right that we
treat them that way."
Progress, to be sure, has
been made in scientific fields
and in race relations. In both
cases the cold war has been a
goad. We have made strides
