territory Dec. 19.
Judge Hanna Retires
Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna retires today from
the bench, after serving 18 years as the senior
jurist of the first judicial
both Jackson and Josepnine counties.
His is a record of which he can feel proud,
and for which the people of the district should
feel grateful.
It takes a special combination of traits to be
a good judge schooling in the law, a judicial
temperament, willingness to work long and hard,
an innate sense of justice, a dedication to service
to the people of the area.
. These Judge Hanna has had.
HE WAS born in Jacksonville (where he still
makes his home) in 1882. His father was also
H. K. Hanna (the given names" are different but
the initials are the same), who also was a cir
cuit judge with a long and distinguished career
on the bench in the county's early days.
His early legal training was obtained through
studying with his father, and he was admitted to
practice in Oregon in 1906. He was in partner
ship with his father for a year after that, then
opened his own practice, which he continued until
1940, when he was elected to the position he is
now leaving.
POR the first seven years of his incumbency,
Judge Hanna was the only judge in this dis
trict, and handled all cases in both Jackson and
Josephine counties. .
In 1947 the legislature created a second judge
ship in the district, which has been filled by
Judge Orval Millard of Grants Pass. Ten years
later, in 1957, a third position was created, the
one now held by Judge Edward C. Kelly of
Medford.
The load on Judge Hanna, particularly in the
earlier years, was considerable. At the same time
the second judgeship was created, the legislature
moved jurisdiction over juvenile matters in this
county from the hands of the county judge to
the circuit court, which in effect ruled out any
lessening in work which the new judgeship might
have caused.
JUDGE HANNA has always felt the deepest
obligation to do his job and do it well, -even
at the cost of carrying his heavy , load at times
when illnesses made his task especially difficult.
Beyond that; he has been meticulous in his
study of the facts and the law involved in cases
coming before him. One long-time friend and
observer of the judge's work has commented on
the endless hours he has spent in study and
research on cases, which has resulted in a record
of very few of his decisions being overruled by
the state supreme court.
He has earned the sincere respect of virtually
all members of the legal profession in southwest
en; Oregon, and his career has been character
ized by what one court official has described as
selflessness, the quality of thinking of others
before himself.
.
JACKSON and Josephine counties have been
'well served by Herbert K. Hanna, who has
done much to keep the Oregon judiciary's tradi
tion of impartiality, of selfless service, and of
scholarly integrity- in the cause of justice.
We join with the legal profession and with
Judge Hanna's many friends in wishing him well
in his retirement, and in hoping for him many
more rewarding years. E.A. .. .
Flying Bicycle?
In younger years, when a . bicycle was our
chief means of transportation, we often dreamed
of a contrivance, powered by its rider as is a
bicycle, which could fly.
Now, by George, "some British aviation scien
tists are working on just such a thing, and declare
that it may be practicable, although it probably
will take more than one man to make it go.
The crux of the things is how much power a
man can generate over a period time, and whether
this power can be successfully applied to aero
dynamic design. f
CCIENCE Service reports that it is known that
a healthy man can generate IV2 horsepower
with his arms and legs during a. split-second burst
of energy, and that for a minute of sustained
effort, can produce about four-fifths of a horse
power. After that, however, fatigue causes the power
output to fall off, and for periods up to an hour,
the strongest of men can maintain one about half
a horsepower.
Base'd on these calculations, the1 British de
signers are trying to figure out whether only two
or three men will be enough to provide the power,
or whether it will need six or eight.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
NIXON VS. JOHNSON
Washington - The whole
long story of our national
politics has rarely provided
so clear - cut
a human
strug gle as
the new year
wiU certainly
bring between
Vice Presi
dent Richard
M. Nixon and
Senator m Lyn
don B. "John
son of Texas.
Politics usually pits against
each other large and imper
sonal groups - blocs against
blocs, parties against parties
- in contests more collective
than personal. This time, the
circumstances will make in
evitable a plain, bare-knuckled
contest between two
tough, young, able, powerful
and highly determined men.
It is going to be more of a
fight between two easily iden
tifiable gladiators than be
tween two political organiza
tions. v .
Vice-President Nixon is, in
fact if not in form, now in
charge of the Republican par
ty nationally. President Eisen
hower, in this evening - time
of his last Administration; has
largely left the party's opera
tional direction in Mr. Nix
on's hands.
'
SENATOR' Johnson, as the
' extraordinarily successful
Democratic leader of the Sen
ate, is, in fact if not in form,
in command of the national
Democratic party. He will
continue to be until the Demo
crats nominate a Presidential
candidate in 1960, just as Mr.
Nixon will be on the GOP
side for the same period.
The facts of current poli
tical life thus have made
Senator Johnson and Vice
president Nixon into opp'osite
numbers to a curiously exact
degree. They are the spot
lighted protagonists for the
next year.
There are other striking
similarities. Mr. Nixon is an
aspirant for the 1960 Presi
dential nomination. Senator
Johnson has said repeatedly
that he would not be a candi
date - but few believe he
would turn it down. Each
man thus has a special need,
as well as special responsibili
ty, to control the Congression
al record of his party in the
period before the 1960 na
tional conventions.
And each, as by far the
smartest professional his
party can presently offer, has
many enemies.
'
Tll'R. NIXON'S enemies are
mainly those who resent
the savage combativeness of
some of his ' past campaigns;

a book that wins the Nobel

bump off his wife. Then the
novelist happily returns to

they consider him altogether
too much of a "fighter." Sena
tor Johnson's enemies are
mainly those who resent him
as too soft, rather than too
hard, on the Republican op
position. So, at this point the like
nesses between these two
highly savvy politicians fall
away and the truly vast dif
ferences begin to appear.
Nixon is deeply partisan.
Johnson has very little parti
sanship in the ordinary sense.
He is more interested in draw
ing people to his side ' in
eluding the Republicans
whenever and wherever he
can catch a stray group of
them - than in choosing up
teams for finish fights.
Nixon nevertheless is the
cool and cautious and con
trolled and objective one of
this pair. Johnson is cautious
- when he thinks of it. But
he is a warm, careless, sub
jective and sometimes senti
mental man. His gift is for
handling people.
Nixon's gift is for handling
situations and circumstances.
Johnson is much bigger physi
cally six feet three and
about 190 pounds to Nixon's
perhaps five- feet ten and 160
time, Johnson is bigger in
other senses. Quicker to ang
er, he is also quicker to for
give. .
TUIXON fights with a cold,
total calm. Johnson fights
either with a grin or with a
dark, open scowl and with
the sulphurous, unashamed
cuss words of a rancher try
ing to round up loose cattle
in the rain.
Nixon is matchlessly com
petent always. Johnson on his
best days is brilliant and on
his worst days an unrepentant
trial to friend and foe alike.
He has a strong touch of frank
vanity; Nixon's -vanity, if it
exists at all, never comes to
the surface.
The Vice - President, who
will be 45 on Jan. 9, is a sym
bol of the new American poli
tics that works basically upon
a slide rule after assembling
all the relevant data. John
son, who at 50 is not too
much older in years, is a
symbol of a far older kind
of politics, casual and intui
tive in nature.
It is the politics of seem
ingly playing it by ear - but
the man at the piano has no
sheet music before him only
because he already so well
knows the score.

Lyls C. Wilson a nepuDiican.
He did not do much bragging
about the Republican party,
however, and his campaign
posters and literature played
way down the fact that Rock
efeller was, indeed, on the
Republican ticket.
The candidate kept his dis
tance, in general, from the
policies and personalities of
the party whose ticket he
graced in New York State. It
appears that he tried to thumb
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon out of New York alto
gether during the campaign.
There being no visa required,
however, Nixon crossed the
state line and in the ensuing
embarrassment Rock efeller
was lassoed into having break
fast with him.
President Eisenhower also
campaigned in New York but
his public statements were
wide of the Republican party
line as the President had
drawn it elsewhere, in Cali
fornia, for example. Out of
all of this, for Rockefeller,
came a great personal tri
umph, so great that he. must
be counted now as a man
whom the Republicans may
and, likely, will, nominate for
president in 1960.

This is a prospect which
saddens the conservative ele

Two Persons Said
Missing in Blast
' Pendleton (UPD One per
son was injured and two were
missing in the wake of an
explosion-caused fire in a two
story frame house here late
Thursday. - . -
Floyd Brooks, 59, Pendle
ton, was reported in good con
dition in St. Anthony's hos
pital. Police said he suffered
burns on his hands, face and
body.
Monty Swink, 45, and an
unidentified man were miss
ing and police and firemen
searched the charred ruins of
the gutted six-room house for
their bodies. It was not actual
ly determined, however, that
they were trapped in the
flames.
A neighbor, Mary Neely,
told police she heard two ex
plosions and then saw three
men run from the house
which was immediately en
gulfed in flames. No trace of
Swink and the other man was
found after firemen quelled
the blaze.
The house was owned by
Georgia Gates. Her husband,
Jess Cates, was running it as
a rooming house and the
three men - were believed to
be boarders.
Fire Chief William Batche

means the union's avowed at

24,000 policemen.
Godfrey Schmidt, a New

of the board, said no formal
action was planned at pres
ent, but added:
. "With our court-appointed
powers, there is no question
but that we definitely can
stop this action."
Schmidt described as "a
"publicity stunt" and "pure
bluff" teamster plans to be
gin picketing New York City
police installations Jan. 12.
"At this moment, the whole
thing looks like a publicity
stunt," Schmidt said. "It's an
other move by Hoffa (Team
sters President James R. Hof
fa) who is under a compulsive
motive to throw his weight
around."
In Philadelphia, the presi

Jamming Pieces
Surround Berlin
Washington -(UPD-Air Force
sources said today U.S. in
telligence agents in Berlin
have found a network of So
viet radar and radio jamming
equipment surrounding that
city.
They said the jamming
might wreck havoc with any
future attempt to operate an
airlift to save Berlin from
blockade.
Even if the jamming could
be offset by counter-measures
the sources said they serious
ly doubted whether an air
lift alone could again save
Berlin as in 1948-49. They
said the cargo demands would
be at least two and one half
times greater.
A spokesman for the Joint
Chiefs of Staff at the same
time indicated the United
States would favor armed
ground "convoys" as a method
of penetrating any future
blockade that might be im
posed against the former Ger
man capital.
A high Air Force official
said that even in 1948 the
Russians had considerable
jamming equipment around
Berlin. He said the loss of
"a couple" of American planes
at that time may have been
due to jamming operations,
although actual cause of the
crashes was uncertain.
Search Fruitless

JENKINS
and putting his speech togeth
er all by himself.
We'd like to think of the
speech as the product of one
man's mind - the one man be
ing the President of the Unit
ed States. It gives us a feint
touch of the shivers to think
of a big staff of speech writers
sitting around a room and dis
cussing what ought to be said
and what ought not to 'be
said.
We'd prefer to think of the
President cogitating seriously
what in his opinion MUST BE
DONE if our nation is to con
tinue to move in the right di
rection and then going before
the members of the Congress
and telling them in his own
words what he thinks about it
all.
BUT
We might as well face
facts.
The days when that was
possible are gone. George
Washington could do it.
Dwight Eisenhower can't.
Our federal government has
just got TOO BIG.
TTOW could we cure that?
There is one way.
We could bring more gov

houses, the county courthous

I think that might do it.

fingered Rockefeller as some
thing of a New Dealer. This
was at a press conference dur

team with Sen. Hubert H.

a few. If this idea gets around
it may put an obstacle in

again, perhaps it won't.

Wendell L. Willkie, who kid

a Republican by courtesy.
In 1952 the GOP rejected
Mr. Republican, himself - the

had registered himself as an
