TO HONOR DULLES West Point, N.Y. -TCPD- Sec retary of State John Foster Dulles will be presented with the second annual Sylvanus Thayer award at Founders day ceremonies here on March 20. The award is presented by the U.S. Military .academy's Association of Graduates to the American who exempli fies the West Point motto, "Duty, Honor, ..Country." It Will Pay Dividends The news reported yesterday that the county planning commission has tion of a county paries sion, and tnat tne .county court eviaenuy win concur, is good news of major importance. Jackson county now has a population esti mated variously at between 68,000 and 72,000 persons. In addition, it visitors each summer. Recreational facilities, quate to meet the demand. And with the growth of population and of touring both of them seemingly inevitable the inadequacies will be even more marked unless steps are taKen to increase the areas available and developed. THE county already is in the parks and recrea tion business. It has -assumed responsibility for the administration of Emigrant reservoir recreation sites, . which, are going to be major ones, and there are other areas for which it is now, or soon will-be, responsible. The county court, burdened as it is with mountains of administrative detail in its every day business, should not have the additional burden of investigating, recommending, or even having primary administrative responsibility for a parks and recreation department. Neither should the (although it should work court and the new organization), for it too has plenty to keep it busy. The fact that it recognizes this, and recommends that the parks and recrea tion function heretofore handled by one of its own subcommittees be turned over to a new com mission, is proof of the 'THERE will be some development. ' But the fact remains that the demand is there, v The "forest service,, despite manful efforts to develop new forest camps and recreation areas, cannot meet the demand. . The state parks department, with limited funds, cannot do the job Private enterprise is and recreation in the speaking here. CO RATHER than turning to Uncle Sam, or the state, or to private enterprise which can't and won't do the job, let us face the fact that it is a county responsibility: that the job must be done, and that it can level where government' still is close to the nponle it serves. L . - If the county acts the acquisition of sites already, gone), it will be and a duty-to both residents, and visitors. It need not be fabulously expensive, although some county funds obviously will be needed. And these funds, intelligently employed on the advice of a separate ommended, will pay big in years to come.

It was fair to say in those days. that in the field of in fluencing sensible people the Soviet Union was an elephant that could not dance.' But the elephant can dance now; in deed, he is dancing all over the front pages and air over the toes of our government. This is the unpleasant truth about the' visit of Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan. Whatever else he may be doing here, he is doing a folksy job of selling the line that the Communists are pretty good people, after aU. ' TJERE he is grinning in a Rimer market. -There h is talking seriously to business- men-and making some head way with them. -Here he is joking with. Hollywood comedians and eyeing buxom movie actresses with that semi-respectful and manly leer that our public expects of important men confronting such impressive womanly charms. Nearly every place he has been he has hit just the right note of appeal to Americans. Sometimes he has been just a little apologetic ' about the vast crimes of the Commu nists. Some of these things were perhaps bad, yes; but, man to man, you know how matters get out of hand some times. Again, he quipped about the impermanence of official jobs in Moscow. Our national characteristic is to be very kind to the partly or the maybe re pentant as well as to those who declare total repentance For proof, just recaU the Mc- Carthyite period when shrill, pro fessional ex-Communists were accepted by many as the absolute and final authorities on what was good Ameri canism. Even the occasional hostile demonstrations have helped rather than hurt Mikoyan's mission, for they have creat ed a bit of an underdog sym pathy for him.

WHITE Among them, two conclusions are now emerging, and neither is eood news. The first is that the Soviet Russians have gained in West ern Dronaeanda know-how al most as they have gained in space implements. The old air of glacial menace has vanish ed under the sunshine of i wide Soviet smile. The old movie-heavy tone of dreary Soviet rhetoric has gone, too. In its place are the snappy reioinder and the happy touch - we are all good fel lows together. Where this marked lm provement in Soviet influence techniaues has comeirom is of course, not certain., am some believe the principal author is the Soviet Ambas sador here. Mikhail A. Men shikov. He can look as Ameri ran as the savins goes, as annle Die. - , The second conclusion is that it might be wise to re vise the old estimate that we need more East-West ex changes. - T?OR SUCH exchanges, it " now appears, might be more harmful to US - ' than otherwise. Moscow, for ex ample, no doubt would accept as a visitor to Russia some American official on a re buttal "good will tour." But does anybody suppose such a visitor coflld enjoy the free dom - including the freedom of the Dress to be generous to a mid-war traveler - tnai Mikoyan has enjoyed here? And. worse yet, suppose such a miracle did occur? The central fact remains that it is not the Russian people who make or even influence bo viet. oolicv. " All this is not to support a mere rieiditv here. It is only to suggest that sooner or later we must face up to the fact that we cannot really ease tensions with our propaganda In the nature of the case our antagonist has the better of us in this field. lor tne con test is played with different niles.

Clarence Barton (D-Coquille) has intro duced a biU setting minimum rates for log hauling in Ore gon. Barton said complete re vision of log-hauling statutes was long overdue, especially to orevent gypsy truckers from Washington and Cali fornia coming to Oregon when their own forests were shut down and escaping Oregon income taxes. Stop Me -6 Things Change Slowly But They Change Even in By RAYMOND LAHR Washington - (UPD -Much can change in 10 years, even in an institution so allergic to change as the United States Senate. It was 10 years ago this winter that the Southerners were at the barricades fight ing successfully to block the adoption of a new anti-filibuster rule. The proposal then was identical in substance with the one adopted this week with only token resist ance from the South. And it was the Senate lib erals who were fighting 10 years ago for the rule they scorned this year on grounds that it was too feeble. Western senators were once the great champions of un limited debate in the senate. More recently the defenders of the right to talk have been southerners, nervous about the chances for passage of civil rights legislation. If the Southerns had made an all-out fight this year to keep the 1949 rule, they would nave risked adoption of filibuster checks which they would have considered even more offensive. So, as they did in 1949, they gave a little Editorial Comment A SMOOTH CHANGE-OVER The problem of who is the rightful secretary of state has claimed most of our headlines and, we fear, has obscured one of the most orderly cnanges oi government in memory. The Legislature has chosen to pass up an obvious chance to play games with the secre tary of state situation where in it could have embarrassed the new Governor by holding up his inauguration and eiv- ing the Democratic choice a better chance to claim the of fice. The Democratic T.e pi si attire also could have, with plenty of precedent, stacked all of its committes aeainst Rennh- licans and denied any GOP chairmanships - the last Legislature did just that. But inere are several Republican committee chairmen, and one Republican committee major ity. There's more to lawmak ing than chairmanships and apparent majorities,, but these are important gestures and can be important in fact. The Democrats also deserve praise for a generally courte ous and open-minded apprais al of Gov. Mark Hatfield'. legislative program as out lined in his inaugural address . And former Governor firm. ernor Bob Holmes who had his churlish moments after the election, turned his nffipe over in good shape and bowed oui witn a smile. At the denartment level there was more of the same. Jim Johnson in Motor Ve hicles, a meame in many eyes, rolled out the pa met com plete with staff meetings and a reception at home, for his Republican successor. John Richardson left things in good shape for Freeman Hnlmer promptly promoted the two men Kicnardson would have promoted had he stayed. It all bodes well for a good legislative session and a pro ductive year ahead. Salem Capital Journal. TODAY In Oregon History (A Centennial Feature) JANUARY 16. 1854 Columbia County was created by the Territorial Legislature. It includes tha northeast part of Washing ton County as it was after Clatsop County had been created. It was named after The Columbia River, which provides the eastern and northern boundaries. Public Hearings on Judicial Bills Due Salem-(UPD-Members of the Joint Judiciary committees of the Oregon legislature decided today to hold public hearings on about 27 bills implement ing the report of the Legisla tive Interim Committee on Ju dicial Administration. Sen. Carl Francis (R-Day-ton), and Rep. George Layman (R-Hillsboro), respective chair men of the two committees, were authorized to divide the hills. A portion will be intro duced in the Senate and the rest in the House. The interim committee bills will cover the entire Oregon judicial system from the State Supreme court on down through the Circuit and Dis trict courts with special atten tion given to juvenile oourt reforms and laws dealing with juveniles. Conservative Senate to avoid losing a lot. Loopholes In First Law The Senate adopted its first anti-filibuster rule in 1917 after a filibuster had blocked passage of President Wilson's measure to arm merchant ships. That rule presumably allowed the votes of two thirds of the senators present to limit debate. It was soon discovered, however, that the 1917 rule contained loopholes big enough for a confederate army to march through. A battle was joined on Feb. 28, 1949 on a new proposal which would have closed the loopholes and permitted a cut off of debate by the same two- thirds vote. The South fought back with a filibuster which tied up the senate until March 17, when a deal was made and a new rule was adopted. The old loopholes were closed but a new one was opened in that the restraint on filibusters did not apply to any future proposals to change the rules. And the vote requirement was stiffen ed to require the consent of two-thirds of all elected sena tors, however many might be absent. Engineered by Johnson Now under the wizardry of senate Democratic leader Lyn don B. Johnson, the senate has adopted without a fili buster a rule to let two-thirds of the senators present choke off debate on a bill or on fu ture proposals to change the rules. Johnson, author of the new rule, was a freshman sen ator lined up with the Dixie bloc 10 years ago. After the 1949 - contest, critics of the new rule called it a step backward. Now some critics of the 1959 rule have complained that it puts the In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS What of this Miki yan, who has been filling our front pag es for days? He has seemed to be charming visitor. He has done the right thing when doing the right thing was called for He has said the right thing when saying the right thing called for. He has been unfail ingly courteous and tolerant. Whatever has happened, he has been able to take in stride. What shall we think of him? A WORD of advice: Let's not be deceived by his smooth, suave, sophisti cated personality. If he felt it necessary, or advisable, or called for by circumstances or developments that endangered the regime of which he is part, he could order a MIL LION people liquidated with out a qualm of conscience or the twitch of a muscle in his disciplined face. Under his smooth, suave. polished exterior is a COM MUNIST. Under his skin he is just as hard and cruel and re lentless as Stalin or Lenin or any other dedicated commun ist. If this were not true, he couldn't hold a high place in the communist hierarchy that rules tho U.S.S.R. with an iron hand. TE CAN take that for " granted. We MUST take it for grant ed. If we don't we'll be endan gering our future. OO WHAT? Well, we mustn t per mit ourselves to miss the les son that Mikoyan has brought us. The lesson is this: The Russian GOVERNING CLASS is NOT a set of ignor ant barbarians. There have al ways been brilliant brains in Russia. There have been VAR IOUS KINDS of Russian brains. There was Peter the Great. There was Catherine the Great. There was Ivan the Terrible. There was the ideal istic Alexander I, who in the early days of his rule encour aged education, art and liter ature, who until he was cor rupted by Prince Metternich seemed to be on his way to ward the abolition of serfdom in Russia. There was Tolstoi. There was Pavlov. There was Metch nikoff. And recently there has been Pasternak. BUT now there is commun ism. The communist sys tern is brutal and terrible. Mi koyan is a part of it. The terrible fascination of Russia and the communist system is that they are able to draw good brains from other countries, to be added to the brains that are already pres ent in Russia. Mikoyan himself, for exam ple. He was born an Armen ian. Armenia has back of it a long history of love and lib erty. TF WE permit ourselves to be -- deceived by communist Russia and by the men who run communist Russia, if we permit ourselves to UNDER ESTIMATE communist Rus sia, it can be fatal. senate back only to where it was before 1949. In both cases, they ignored the fact that loopholes in the 1917 rule made it virtually meaning less. It remains to be seen whether the 1959 rule or the threat to use it can influence the future course of the sen ate.

Centennial Cake To the Editor: With re quests coming up for enter tainment ideas for the Cen tennial of Oregon's admit tance to the Union, we might go back some 87 years and cut us a piece of cake from that state-wide celebration. That was held four years be fore my birth. But a well re membered portion came up when I was about 10 years old. It was a last day of school picnic when I heard one wom an remark to another, "Why, Mrs. Rogers, you've brought a centennial cake." "Yes," re plied the maker of that early day confection, "I thought I'd make this once more, like we made to celebrate 100 year deliverance from the British yoke. My, my, how time does fly, that was 14 years ago. So in memory of that, I decided to make this once more, hoping some of the children here today would remember the suffering; the hardships and loss of dear ones to make us free, that the little flag on the cake symbolizes." That three-layer cake was red, white and blue (kinda purple from juice of swamp huckle-berries) ; topped with 13 frosting stars around the tiny home-made flag. Some how, what she said there was anchored in my memory very near like she said it. Maybe it was a piece of the cake (kinda small like) that helped me to remember. There was the usual sing ing of patriotic songs, a dia logue and speaking of pieces; that of my cousin up Eugene way was, "Curfew Shall Not King lonight. Mine was "The Sword of Bunker Hill." He lay upon his dying bed, . His eyes were growing dim, And with a feeble voice he called His weeping son to him. "Weep not my boy," the veteran said, "I bow to Heaven's high will, But mark, O mark, I give to you The sword of Bunker Hill." There was much more to it, but now lost in the rubble of marching years. But what puzzles me mostly, inquiry through the years has found but two people who have memory of that long ago cen tennial cake. Surely Michi gan was not the only one to make a cake for it. - F. J. Clifford, Central Point Pool of Misery To the Editor: Referring to your contributions column, Mrs. Hurst should be proud of being "a soft-hearted sen timentalist" about conditions under which dogs are kept at the pound. It's too bad there aren't a few soft hearts on the Dog Control board. They have the nerve to take money from Mrs. H. and all the oth er taxpayers. Isn't it part of their job to create decent con ditions at the pound? A few days ago it was re ported in your paper that a Warren Bayliss asked not to be reappointed to this board. Can Mr. B. point to a single improvement of conditions at the pound during all the time he did serve on this board? Did Mr. B.'s conscience final ly catch up with him? - or some of the sad-eyed pound dogs . begin to haunt his dreams? What do these peo ple, do at board meetings- pick their teeth? Or learn the latest in buck-passing? This is someone s responsibility, If not theirs - whose? Mr Hagier, the electrocution ex pert, is of course, not respon sible for the conditions under his - nose and obviously is really an animal lover in dis guise. The disguise is so good it could fool' me. If you think this soft-heart ed sentimentalist is just pull ing out all the stops, go take a look for yourself and ask yourself how you would like your pet to end up in that Dool (or pound) of sheer misery. ' Marty Williams, P.O. Box 1287, Medford of U.S. has made it a great conserva tive force. When a bill i passed, it means that nearly all senators believe that th proposed law can be tolerated if not approved. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D- " Ga.) the South's spokesman' in the senate, is authority for the statement that shutting off senate debate by majority vote would be tantamount to amending the Constitution. ' What Is the Difference? To the Editor: "Schol Bui Involved in Gold Hill Mis- hap." "Court Records." ' The article appeared In Tuesday's edition of the Med- ford Mail Tribune, also the court records published same date.' The older one gets and the more they hear and see the harder it is to understand laws made to protect and con trol people. Having traveled in most all parts of the United States and the world in general, I have never seen anything in my life to equal what I read in these articles. t A well known business man hit a school bus with a truck hard enough to damage the emergency door and rear bumper of school bus that was stopped unloading chil-. dren and the chief of police of the town said "No citation was issued." On another page of the same paper, court rec ords listed one man as fined for "following too close," an other for not stopping at traf fic signal." What is the difference fol lowing too close not stop ping, or hitting a SCHOOL BUS? Is there a reason for favoritism? Seems to me hit ting a school bus unloading children surely calls for a ci tation, according to Oregon Laws. David N. Ennis, Route 1, Box 107-A, Gold Hill. Appreciates Holmes To the Editor: Now that Governor Holmes' term lias ended, I think a few words of appreciation are in order for . the fine job he did for Ore gon in two short years. Being human, he made mis takes, but in my opinion these mistakes were heavily outweighed by his courage to stand up for his convictions, his unquestioned honesty, and the excellence of his appoint ments. He opposed capital punish ment vocally and by exerting his executive powers, in spite of strong opposition during an election-year, because of hi deep moral and religious con victions on the subject. His inteeritv has never been questioned, even during the campaign, and there was not a single hint of scandal throughout his administration. This, in itself, is something of a rarity. Last, his unerring choice of fine appointees gave us, among others, the best Liquor Control Commission and Pub lic Utilities Commissioner in many a long day. I am grateful to him for an outstandingly fine job and wish him success in the fu ture. I hope our new Gover nor will be as good as Gover nor Holmes. If so, I will have no complaints. M. E.
