Who Pays For Credit?
The reason given by restaurant owners who
are beginning to charge diners for extending
credit is one of simple economics. They have to
pay the Diners' Club, for example, a 7 per cent
commission on all charges. Also they wait long
periods of time for payment, they contend.
The rationale is spelled out by a trade publi- j
cation: - : j
"Credit cards are enormously popular with
businessmen traveling and eating on an expense
account. The Bureau of 'Internal Revenue and'
the pressure of their own f inns for expense report j
accounting (have) made credit cards a real con-1
venience to business films and to their employees, j
Why should a restaurant manager have to pay
for this credit card service directly :
TTHE Diners' Club does charge its members $5
a year. In addition, Diners' charges restaur
ants 7 per cent for allowing their customers to
sign a tab ; charges to others vaiy. American Ex
press card-holders pay $6 a year, and the com
mission charges to commercial establishments
also vary, averaging about 5 per cent. The Hilton
Statler hotel chain, which recently entered the
field with its own card appropriately named
Carte Blanche charges holders $6 a. year only
when the card is to be used outside the hotels.
The credit outfits point out that the various
commercial firms which use their services take
no credit risk and are relieved of billing. More
over, they receive payment in one lump sum. But
why, the restaurant owners in particular ask,
should we have to wait 45 days for payment for
today's meal and then pay 7 per cent as a col
lection expense? Is it fair to our other customers,
many of them regular patrons, who don't ask for
credit?
117HAT has happened in answer to this query is
" that a great many restaurants' have issued
credit cards of their own. But it's only a partial
answer. A man with, say, oil company credit
cards, an American Telephone & Telegraph card,
a Diners' or Hilton or Am
jbe sold very easily on adding a flock of restaur
ant cards to his bulging wallet. Indeed, some com
panies have eliminated charge cards for their
personnel, and some individuals are going back
to the radical yet old-fashioned idea of paying
for their meals with cash.
Still the battle of the credit giants continues
to be waged, and all the big films boast of ex
panding membership rosters. The State Univer
sity of Iowa is issuing to students a new time
saving "LD." card, and university fees such as
those for health services are being thus charged
to students.
PVEN banks are getting into the act. The Chase
" Manhattan Bank on Dec. 1 became the first
bank in New York City
credit, ine plan started witn some 6,vw mer
chants cooperating, honoring credit cards issued
to some' 200,000 retail customers. '
Card-holders receive one bill from the bank
a month.: They may pay the entire amount in 10
days, or one fifth when billed and the remainder
over a period of four months. The charge for the
latter option is 1 per cent per month on the un
paid balance. Merchants receive cash at once for
all sales slips presented at the bank, also paying
a fee ranging downward on volume from 6
per cent. E.R.R.
Lower
Tax
The federal tax on admissions will be reduced
on Jan. 1. The reduction is part of a technical
overhauling of the excise taxes that wras voted by
Congress in 1958.
At present the 10 per cent tax is waived on
tickets costing 90 cents or less. If the charge is
over 90 cents, the tax is levied on the whole
amount. The new tax exempts admissions costing
$1 or less, and on higher ones is levied is levied
only on the amount over $1.
For example, the present tax on a $1.50 tick
et is 15 cents. The new tax is 5 cents (10 per cent
oh 50 cents, the amount over $1). And admis
issions to places solely for "physical exercise,"
like swimming pools, bathing beaches, skating
rinks, (but not dance halls) are to be tax-exempt.
TN 1953 a bill was passed to eliminate the tax on
motion picture admissions altogether, but was
vetoed by President Eisenhower. In 1954 the ad
missions tax was reduced to 10 from the former
20 per cent, and tickets of 50 cents or less were
exempted. The exemption was increased to 90
cents in 1956.
"The tax is to be paid by the person paying
for the admission," the law specifies. However, it
remains to be seen whether a movie ticket will
now cost 10 cents less overall, let's say, in every
case where the tax is 10 cents less. Some movie
theater owners have long been insisting that, to
offset rising costs and TV competition, they can
stay in business only by raising the base price of
admission. E.R.R.

'THE KIPS DECIDED THAT O0 W&& IKE MOM WE HAVE THE

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
Washington The Senate
Republicans are in extraordi
nary disarray, as in anxiety
" and almost in
; panic they
i await opening
f r 4-1 n A ...
Ul UiC new
Congress.
At every
hand are evi
dences of divi-
s i o n between
the orthodox,
old-1 ine Re
publicans and
the liberal or modern Repub
licans-who by and large have
significantly stopped calling
themselves "Eisenhower Re
publicans."
The liberals are demanding
a louder voice in the Senate
Republican leadership, where
they have not had any real
voice at all in half a genera
tion. There is a good deal of
marching and counter-marching
in this campaign of rebel
lion, and its total hopes and
intentions are hardly clear
yet.
At minimum, however, it
seems to involve a fairly de
termined challenge to Senator
Everett Dirksen of Illinois,
the prospective Senate GOP
leader in succession to former
Senator William Knowland of
California. It does not, how
ever seem to contemplate any
challenge at all to the GOP
powerhouse on the Old Guard
side, Senator Styles Bridges
of New Hampshire.
TO PUT in an attack on Re
publican Old Guard di
rection of the party without
firing a shot at Bridges is like
attacking an enemy division
while carefully avoiding any
hostile action against an ene
my army.
If, in short, the liberals
were able to push Dirksen
aside-and this is most unlike-ly-they
would have accom
plished little in any practical
wav. For Bridges, as chair
man of the Senate GOP Pol
icy committee, will be the
real Republican leader next
time, no matter who holds
that title and no matter how
successful may seem any lib
eral "revolt."
This is so because the essen
tial power in what is left of
the Republican party in the
Senate is in the hands of or
thodox Republicans, of whom
Bridges is unchallenged lead
er. And it is so because a
strong chairman of "policy"
can always dominate a nomi
nal floor leader, as the late
Senator Robert A. Taft so
well proved a decade ago.
rPHE moderns thus have
much the stronger case in
logic, for the lesson on the
November Congressional elec
tion returns could not have
been plainer. This was that
the Republican party will win
no contests by returning to

Thornton Wilders play,

Mr. Eisenhower in the Con

The author of "Eisenhower

And now, in his budget

in direct opposition to his
views. This $77 billion budget

is the real expression of Presi

this as in other languages,
speaks louder than many,
many words. Everybody who
is not a romantic knows that
the man who stands at the
cash register where the mon

it is so.
And it is orthodox Republi

at the point of ultimate deci

Thus the Republican liberals
will not save their party or
themselves by gallant sorties
for or against individuals in

posts. They will save them
selves, if at all, by joining the
Democrats in a massive push
to take the budget away from
the President and the ortho

called a floor leader, an assist

To the Editor: During the
past year and a half that' I
have lived in Medford, I have
appreciated your editorials. I
have not agreed with all of
them, some of the recent ones
have motivated a few com
ments from me.
I liked the "Misanthrope's
Christmas Gift," the "Christ
mas Parable," and "An 'M
on Roxy Ann?" on the 23rd.
One of the things that im
pressed me when I moved
into the valley, was the fact
that teen agers of this area
have not acquired the habit
of smearing paint on old
barns such as Class of '58, '59,
etc. An 'M' on Roxy Ann or
any hill around Medford
would be more of a distinc
tion than an attraction. The
energy, time and money ex
pended on an 'M could serve
many more useful purposes.
Many students could suggest
substitutes that would be
better.
I have appreciated your
comments on making Medford.
beautiful, the downtown park
ing problem and juvenile de
linquency. Other comments

about problems of this area.

Training Bedbugs
To the Editor: For many
years since 1926, when I was
manager of the Ashland
Chamber of Commerce, I have
periodically kept in touch
with your fine newspaper and
my friends in the valley, es
pecially on the subject of bed
bugs. As the old-timers will re
call, and the present popula
tion of Jacksonville would
like to forget, the hotels of
that pioneer mining commun
ity were long and widely
known for their bedbugs.
Your newspaper in its early
issues carried stories of guests
who stopped at the hotels and
their encounters with the
bugs.
Also, the general stores of
Medford always carried large
stocks of salt. I recall even as
late as 1926 when I - lived
down there being especially
interested in the unusually
large piles of salt in the
stores. At that time the bugs
were being rapidly extermin
ated and I presume today not
single bug remains.
My reason for writing now
is to call attention to your
readers who possibly might
have escaped reading it of the
story in the current issue of
Newsweek," which has a
most fascinating account of
what a California professor
has been accomplishing in
training these bugs to feed up
on other food than human be
ings. One can speculate the pleas
ure early day travelers in
southern Oregon could have
experienced had these bugs
been so trained years ago. The
beautiful pear, apple and
cherry orchards, I am sure,
would have been appreciated
in their true glory and grand
eur had not the late attacks of
these bugs been remembered.
I might add that Boise be

gion 1 of the Bureau of Recla

here, there
f ore, the
West's Berlin
4ospb aisob commit
ment assumes a terrible real
ity, a grim, almost painful
concreteness.
You ask yourself, "Are we
going to keep our pledged
word to these brave men and
wpmen who have relied on
us?" And since keeping our
pledged word to the Berliners
will surely mean being ready
for a big war, you ask your
self further, "If we do hot ut
terly dishonor ourselves by
some sort of circuitous sur
render, does this mean that a
big war must come?"
Fortunately, the evidence
from Moscow to date suggests
a hopeful answer to the sec
ond question. Nikita Khrush
chev and his fellow policy
makers in the Kremlin are
quite shrewd and well inform
ed enough to know that no
real decisions about the Ber
lin crisis were taken at the
Paris meeting of leaders of
the West.
TWO score and
eign, defense
more for-
and other
ministers, attended by over a
thousand high officials and
military officers, met and
agreed that surrender in Ber
lin would equal surrender ev
erywhere. But they did not
reach agreement on the only
point requiring a hard decis
ion: what specifically to do if
the Soviets authorize their
East German puppets to re
new the blockade of Berlin.
Thus because the Paris ral
ly was not really overwhelm
ingly impressive, it is encour
aging that the Soviets seemed
to have been impressed. Two
days after the release of the
statement of the guarantors of
Berlin - Britain, France, and
the United States, plus West
ern Germany - Anastas Miko-
yan unexpectedly asked for a
visa "to visit the Soviet Am
bassador in Washington." Mi-
koyan's obvious purpose is to
smell the weather in the
streets in the capital of the
Western alliance.
By Soviet standards, the
more overt Moscow comments
on the Paris rally were also
exceptionally restrained."
F
a. n
ADDITION, passages re
peating the worst of Nikita
Khrushchev's previous threat
were most significantly cut
out of the published version
of a speech delivered in War
saw by the Kremlin's chief
East German puppet, slimy
Walter Ulbricht.
All these signs point to the
conclusion that the Kremlin
is having thoughts about risk
ing a big war for Berlin. At
the same time, it is needful to
note that we are not over the
hump yet. In fact, the hump
has not even been reached.
The hump is the specific
decision about what to do, if
and when Khrushchev begins
to carry out his Berlin threat.
The spade work for this decis
ion is to be done at Bonn,
where the United States is
fortunately represented by
one of the best American di
plomats of this generation,
David K. E. Bruce. Together
with the West Berliners and
appropriate military officers,
Bruce and his British and
French colleagues have stud
ied the cruel, tactical problem
of Berlin. After approval by
all the governments concern
ed, the conclusions thus reach
ed in Bonn will become hard
Western policy.
SECRECY was no doubt one
reason for the . choice of
this way of reaching the ug
liest single decision the West
em alliance has had to take
since the end of the second
World War. But it is still cer
tain that the decision will not
be truly secret. The interests
involved are too great.
The Kremlin will surely
learn about it, if the decision
makers flinch or quail or
fudge their task. Particularly
in Britain, the ' tendency to
flinch or fudge is pretty

strong. The British seriously
want to duck the Berlin issue
by taking refuge in another
air-lift that cannot do the job.
Among the British policy
makers, moreover, something
very like a mass psychosis has
now been produced by several
different factors, including
the past follies of American
policy-making. The sharpness
of the psychosis was indicated
by the fantastic statement of
the British Embassy in Bonn,
that the threat to Berlin was
decidedly less dangerous than
the threat of the British econ
omic dispute with the Euro
pean partners in the common
market.
TN THESE circumstances,
the Bonn decision-making
will not be easy. If the decis
ion is indeed to flinch . or
fudge, one can predict with
bleak confidence that Khrush
chev and company will go for
ward with their Berlin
scheme, thus leaving almost
no alternative at all except a
big war or a big surrender.
But on the evidence to date,
one can also predict with fair
confidence that real firmness
will lead to a suspension of
the threat to Berlin, at least
until the worst period of mis
sile gap begins two years
from now.
There are several tactical
approaches to the Berlin prob
lem that make sense. For ex
ample, the city of Berlin can
not be indefinitely supplied
by a radar-jammed air-lift;
and taking refuge in an air
lift is therefore a slow way to
surrender. But although the
city as a whole cannot be sup
plied by air-lift, the Allied
garrisons in Berlin, number
ing only a few thousand men,
can be supplied in this man
ner. This will avoid Allied
recognition of East German
authority over the highways
leading to Berlin, and the ci
vilian supply lines can per
haps be safeguarded, in the
meanwhile, by an Allied
promise to resort to armed
convoys if the civilian road
and rail traffics interrupted.
All the different approach
es have their virtues. Every
possible approach but direct
resort to armed convoying has
the weakness of vulnerability
to Soviet and East German
"salami" tactics. But the de
tails of the future decision
matter much less than the
firmness of will behind it.

days, and let them not return.
There was considerable

It was only last October
that the New York Times re
ported on page one that Penta
gon and Atomic Energy Com-
mission officials were express
ing alarm because of fears
that Soviet agents in the U.S.
were doing some fancy spy
ing on U. S. atom tests. The
new atmosphere must be
mighty favorable to permit
that.
Americans seem reluctant
to believe that the ultimate
objective of the Communist
Party, U.SA., is the over
throw and -destruction of the
U. S. government by force and
violence. That is all a matter
of record, too, set down in
books written by the Ameri
