No longer is one startled to see one going along the street And this is no purely local phenomen, either, for reports from other parts of the state show the same thing. In Salem, Editor Charles Sprague a couple of weeks ago speculated about beards, conclud ing he was going to let others do the growing, and more recently reported he received two sorts of response, the first a widespread opposition to the idea of growing centennial beards on the part of the state's editors, and a "surge of beard growing unlike anything seen here since the city's centennial." THE editorial page of the Oregonian was one " on which the beards got short shrift That newspaper's editorial sounded as though it had been written by a man who secretly wanted to grow a beard, but whose wife won't let him. In part, it said: - - "Let us have one centennial celebration free of beards, gingham dress and sunbonnets and bewhisker ed vigilantes horsing around with kangaroo courts for those who do not wish to play childish games." We'll go along on the kangaroo court stuff and similar assorted nonsense. But as to the beards (and even ginghams), we join with Edi tor Sprague's tolerant view "Let the fur fly" so long as it is on a purely voluntary basis. ... TTHERE is some question, as a matter of fact, whether or not growing of beards is a strictly accurate way in which to celebrate the centen nial, foi researchers have, dug out the fact that in 1859 most" men, in the Oregon country were clean-shaven, and it wasn't for several years that the United States became a bewhiskered nation. Maybe the Civil "War had something to do with it. Vic Fryer, a columnist on the Capital Journal in Salem has done some research (or had it done for him) on the matter, and reports as follows: "It's a little bit difficult to pin down the dates, but beards apparently became suddenly popular in the early 1860s after being almost completely out of fashion for many years. ... "In two years between 1860 and 1862, the beards staged a sudden comeback. Lincoln was beardless when elected in 1860 but wore a beard when inaug rated in 1861. General Grant and General Lee both suddenly sprouted beards at the outbreak of the Civil War in that year, as did Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson' and most generals and may men on both sides. "Of course the situation in the Oregon country was a little different. Prior to the big migration of the 1840s, there were only a few trappers, fur traders and missionaries in the area, most of whom probably wore beards because of the difficulties of shaving In the wilderness and, possibly, because of the lack of members of the fairer sex to note whether they were shaven or not. - "When the population of Oregon was more than tripled by the great migration of 1843, presumably the settlers, being from the beardless East, were most ly beardless themselves. . "So, although the work load of getting a start in the untamed territority and the lack of social neces sity of shaving may have encouraged some settlers to raise beards, it seems probable that there were more beardless men than bearded ones in 1859. "And, since the population of the entire state at that time was roughly that of Salem now, it would take little studying to figure that there are probably thousands more beards in the state today than 100 years ago." A MAN with beard experience, Bob Ingalls of y" the Corvallis Gazette-Times, rather likes the idea of beards. He says : "We here in Benton county can testify that tha growing of beards can add a lot of fun to a cen tennial celebration. We can also testify that they soon become tiresome and a nuisance. "It might be well for the state committee to rec ommend that beards be grown during certain dates and leave it up to the men of the state to comply if they so desire. We would hate to see any kidlike stuff of local vigilante committees who fine or make , . a hapless guy sit in the stocks or a log jail for failure to comply. The Centennial should be as much for everyone as we can make it, and the growing of beards may be a part of the fun. Carrying it to ex tremes, however, takes all the fun out of it." . TO THIS we add only "so be it" If men want to grow whiskers (and obtain their wives' permission), it's a free country. If they want the comfort of clean shaves, ditto. We have noticed, incidentally, that most beard-growers hereabouts take great care to keep at least part of their faces clean-shaven. There are mighty few full-fledged, full-faced beavers around. The majority seem to favor a modified sort of Van Dyke, with or without a mustache and or sideburns. In past observances when beards were grown, they usually came off soon after the event It will be interesting to see how long Oregon remains a semi-bearded state. It's not probable, but it's always possible, that the thing might turn into a trend, men will keep them, and the fad will sweep the nation, returning us to the facial fash ions of the 1860s. That would be observing the Centennial with avengance. E. A. Chinese A clipping from the Arizona Daily Star, sent us from Tucson by a Medford resident, gives a look ahead for that city, and we wonder if it has any significance for Medford. In part, it says : "Voters last year . .,. okayed $14,600,000 in city bonds to finance improvements . . . Some of the money will be used to build another overpass over a stretch of Tucson's Chinese Wall, the railroad that annoyingly bisects the city. Before downtown tunnels beneath the tracks are widened, the city will make one last effort this year to persuade, Southern Pacific to relo cate the railroad." Wall E.A. Dennis the THIS STUFF TASTES LIKE Washington Report By WILLIAM Washington - The West is I slowly reDlacine the South as the holder of the balance of power in the Senate,, and thus to a con siderable de gree in.the country itself. Increasingly, the future will belong to these predom- w?28v Democratic Senators who have come here from the far and open spaces. Ironically, too, these spaces were largely settled by the tired, dusty migration from the South that followed the Civil War and the collapse of the Confederate cause. The East is the home of the Ivy League colleges which many believe to be the only beacons in what is otherwise a national sea of educational darkness. But these new West ern men of new nower actual ly are the real eggheads of the Democratic p a r ty. And in nearly every case these minds were hatched in home-grown colleges. Thus it is that as the noliti- cal dominance of the- South is sinking, the old intellectual dominance of New England is sinking, too. Great changes are occurring across our po litical landscape. THESE points are no longer merely theoretical and aca demic. It was evident even in the last Congress that the Western 6enators were ap proaching a point where, in coalition with the moderate Southerners, they could run the Senate. It is now becom ing plain that the moderate Southerners within a . short time may need the Western ers even more than the West erners will need -them. All this is illustrated by the extraordinary generosity with which the old Senate Demo crats have dealt in giving im portant committee assign ments to the new Westerners. (It is in legislative commit tees that a Senator makes his real mark, far more often than in debate on the Senate floor.) Senator Gale McGee of Wyoming, a 43-year-old his tory professor until the No vember elections, has gone onto the Appropriations Com mittee, the second most pow erful in the Senate. This group holds the keys to the Federal cash box. Freshman Senators simply do not reach that committee - but one has this time. SENATOR EUGENE MC CARTHY of Minnesota, a 42-year-old former professor of economics and ex-member of the House of Representa tives, has gone McGee one Editorial Comment FORECAST A British astrologer's pre diction that Princess Marga ret will wed this year rein forces our Impression that as trology is not only a super stition but also an imperti nence. The prognosticator goes so far as to presume to set the likeliest date, a pre rogative usually reserved to the. prospective bride. Our own deduction, made without so much as a glance at the stars or planets, is that our astrological Briton ven tured a prediction in the hope of gaining valuable publicity; that if by any chance he turned out anywhere near right he would gain a hand some access of clients as well; and that if he proved not to have the foggiest notion of what he was talking about, it would not surprise us a bit. . -Si. Louis Post-Dispatch Menace l-2o AlWT CLARA! S. WHITE better. McCarthy has wound up on the Senate Finance Committee - a group so influ ential that even Presidents approach it with wary court esy. The Finance Committee, which handles taxes and tar iffs on "the Senate side of the Capitol, handles in fact much more even than these. It is second only to the Treasury - and sometimes more influential even than the Treasury - in making the whole complex fiscal and eco nomic policy of the United States. Senator Frank Church of Idaho -was elected two years ago rather than last Novem ber; he is still, however, , a freshman even if he is edg ing toward the sophomore class. Church has been given a seat on the Foreign Rela tions Committee. A deeply internationalist Idahoan thus now sits at a table where an old, isolationist Idahoan, Sen ator William E. Borah, once made administrations and foreign countries tremble. This committee has the power to veto and sometimes ac tually to make the high foreign policies of the United States. pHURCH is the youngest of the young. He will not reach the tottering age of 35 until next July. He has never been a professor (he is a law yer, instead) but intellectual interests are his chief inter ests. Other new Westerners have done well, indeed, in reach ing committees of high influ ence. It is, however, these three McGee, McCarthy, Church who could be des cribed as the bright, partic ular sons of fortune. Each is in position immensely to for ward his career and his re gion. No three men in all history, so far as anybody can recall, have reached so much Senate power together so soon. All three are liberals, but tolerantly so. All three know how to work usefully with men with whom they may often disagree. Given normal life expectancy and political luck at the polls in future these will be three names to reckon with in the Senate, and in the country, for de cades to come.

Thirsty America Puts Higher Pressure On Government for Water Purification By Congressional Quarterly Washington -(CQ)- Thirsty America has put the Admin istration under increasing pressure to expand and accel erate its program to find a cheap method to desalt water. In many parts of the coun try, the problem of finding new sources of fresh water is becoming increasingly urgent. To date, Secretary of In terior - Fred A. Seaton has taken no action to step up the saline water research program authorized by Congress last year. This is apparently be cause of the Administration's tight budget policy. Secret Report Seaton now has before him a secret report made by a special survey team which he created in September to re view the governmnt's six-year saline water program. The team found that while some progress had been made to de salt water at low cost, no "break-through" has resulted. The team made 23 recommen dations to Seaton to "improve the program's progress and performance." It urged him to give the program a push. Over initial Administration opposition, Congress last year passed legislation authorizing a $10 million program to build five demonstration plants to desalt water. Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-N.M.), author of the 1958 law, and Rep. Robert E. Jones Jr. (D Ala.) have seen the secret re port and praised its recom mendations. They urged Sea ton to act promptly. Jones is chairman of the house public works and resources subcom mittee which last year urged Sea'ton to review the saline water program. Experts Urge Speed-up While Seaton has been pon- deing the survey team's rec ommendations, w h i o h he called "very helpful," the University of Maryland and the National Rivers and Har bors Congress also have urged a speed-up in the program.

Calendar Issue To the Editor: For the past 50 years modern philosophers and universal leaders of inter national problems come up with a simple formula and improvement to reform the present antiquated calendar in use of today, but nothing seems to have ever overcome the inertia that has prevailed since the days of the emper ors. A year of 13 lunar months of 28 days each would be a much more appropriate time table, especially in this fast moving age and streamlined world we are living in today. There would always be an ex tra day each solar year to set aside to commemorate man's scientific achievements. Ev ery holiday would naturally fall on the same day of the week every year. All con structive changes have always been slow, we are told, be cause human nature has a deep resistance against change. Another' issue for great decisions to debate. Bert Kissinger 320 Boardman Medford. , Make Sense? To the Editor: This year's Yule traffic toll came to an appalling total of 594, an an nual catastrophe which the American public seems to take "in stride." Oddly, although Dr. Linus Pauling, Mrs. Eleanor Roose velt and various liberal groups throughout the coun try can get all worked up over the possibility of a relatively few deaths supposedly caused by fallout from nuclear test ing, I have yet to see any of them holding indignation meetings in churches calling for. a universal ban on auto mobiles. Yet continued nuclear test ing is our only guarantee against being swamped by Red barbarism. It is necessary for our survival as free men- whereas the automobile is, if not a luxury, at most a con venience. Does it make sense? Roy F. Thompson Rosemary Thompson 660 Clover Lane Ashland. Toy Project Success To the Editor: We wish to thank you for the support you gave in publicizing our annual Christmas toy project which we conduct with the Medford city firemen. We are indeed grateful for the help given in bringing our . plea for toys before the public. This year wa . distributed of the University of Maryland stated that the United States was paying "too little atten tion to the water problems of underdeveloped areas." In or der to aid such backward countries, the United States government must provide "a much more vigorous adminis tration of our saline water program," it concluded. The board of directors of the Rivers and Harbors Con gress on Jan. 8 noted the sharply increased demand for water in this country because of our rapidly growing popu lation. To meet this need, it said, the federal government should "intensify its efforts to convert saline water into fresh water." 73 Requests. Seaton is bound by law to decide by March 2 the con version process to be utilized in the first demonstration plant to be constructed. Local interest in the sites for the five new plants is high. Al ready, 73 communities, coun ties and groups in 21 states and Hawaii have asked the Interior department to con sider them as potential sites for the plants. Interior has 19 applications fromv Texas, 16 from New Mexico and 13 from California, it also has applications from Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Louisi ana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, and Washington. In addition, California and New Mexico have signed co operative agreements with In erior providing mutual assist ance in studying saline water conversion problems. Texas, Florida, North and South Da kota are now negotiating sim ilar agreements with Interior. The 1958 law whetted the interest of coastal and the semi-arid states in the saline water demonstration plant program. It provides specifi cally that the three plants to convert sea water to fresh name and address of the writer, gifts to more than 750 chil dren, and although the suc cess of our venture is due to the combined efforts of many people, it was through pub licity that we received enough toys to take care of such a large number. The firemen and the Med ford Lions Auxiliary are most appreciative of the service you have rendered. Medford Lions Club Auxiliary Mrs. Ken Natland Christmas Project Chair man. Improvements Needed To the Editor: Thank you for your Jan.' 18 article, con cerning the county dog pound situation. It is high time that this is brought to the public and something is done about it. In Eric Wentworth's article, it is suggested that the pound will be removed from within the city limits. I wonder would this improve the situ ation for the animals or would it merely remove the sight from those who do not wish to be bothered with it? Out of sight people wouldn't have to think about the filth, the suffering and the cruel manner of execution, nor would they have to think about their poor bodies heaped on a pile of trash out in the middle of a dump, where they are thrown after words. I feel sorry for E. Ragsdale, who complained so bitterly about a poor little neighbor hood dog. How terribly she must suffer! I believe in keeping my own dog at home and I think that others should as well. Yet I do not see that the city of Medford has been so terribly destroyed by the dogs. Instead of complaining about the occasional dog in the street, why not reproach the parents who allow their little children to run over the streets loose, or the unpredict able bicycle riders who dart in and out, menacing the traffic? Of course the person who has such an attitude as E. Ragsdale could not see the love and warmth in a dog's eyes or know of the friend ship and usefulness that a dog offers. I sincerely hope that the public will take these things into consideration so that we may have the needed im provements.

Joseph Usup rnor xo an astas Mikoyan's return to Washington, discussions of the so-called "contingent plan" for the defense of Berlin took place between Deputy Secre tary of State Robert Murphy and the British and French ambassadors, Sir Harold Cac cia and Herve Alphand. The foregoing broad commitment was the first result of these discussions. If adhered to, the commit ment forcloses the easy way out that was taken last time, the resort to an airlift to cir cumvent a land blockade of Berlin. In part, the easy way out has been rejected because a second resort to an airlift would amount to acceptance of a Soviet right to impose a land blockade at . will. It would therefore amount, in and of itself, to concealed ac ceptance of a considerable de feat. TllAINLY, however, the air- "a- lift iHm ViSic Vioan wippf. ed because the whole city of Berlin simply cannot be sup plied by airlift any longer. As previously reported in this space, the Soviets have now installed radar-jamming ap paratus, to prevent radar- guided air landings in Ber lin. In addition, the living city of today has a vastly greater supply requirement than the dead city of 1948 Hence Berlin, despite-all its hugh reserve stocks, cannot be sustained for much more than 18 months by an air lift limited to daylight, fair weather landings. It is a great gain for the policy of Secretary of State fohn Foster Dulles, that the weakness of the easy way out has been squarely faced by Berlin s guaranteeing govern ments. The Secretary is grim ily determined to defend Free Berlin, even if he has to die in the breach. His attitude is plainly indicated by his choice of Deputy Secretary Murphy to carry on the discussions of the contingent plan with the British and French ambassa dors. DOBERT Murphy. Gen. Lu cius D. Clay and Aneurin Bevan (then a member of the British Cabinet) were the od dly assorted trio who fought last time, for a tank column to break Joseph Stalin's Ber lin blockade. President Harry S. Truman was entirely will ing to follow the policy pro posed by Gen. Clay and Murphy, who Was then Clay's political adyiser. But in 1948, the impassioned pleas of Clay and Murphy for a tank col umn were equally passionate ly resisted by the American Joint Chiefs-ot-Staff, although at that time the United States still enjoyed a monopoly of nuclear weapons. The result was the resort to an airlift. Murphy still holds this was a cardinal mistake, despite the 1948 airlift's success in relieving the beleaguered city. According to report, the Counsel With .

(Copyright 1959, Congres sional Quarterly Inc.) By Joseph Alsop passage of time and the total collapse of the American nu clear monopoly have not al tered Murphy's views about the right way to respond to an attempted blockade of Ber lin. On this occasion, Murphy, tne advocate of a tank col umn, has the solid support of the American Chiefs-of- Staff . He also has the new and quite irrefutable argu ment that an airlift will not work any longer, because of tne Soviet radar-iamming ap paratus. Facing this undeasant fart was the hardest step to take. it is, to be sure, only a first step. Discussion of the contin gent plan for Berlin began in Bonn after the Paris NATO meeting. The center of dis cussion was then transferifrl to Washington; yet only the most languid effort to reach agreement was made until Secretary Dulles, our one-man State Department, returned from his vacation. When the one - man State Department was fully functioning again, he observed a serious gap in ms situation. As yet, there was no finally agreed contin gent plan for Berlin's defense. Dulles then gave Murphy the tasK or filling the gap. fpHIS is the reason why the Droaa commitment above cited has not yet been "staf-fed-out" in detail. There are many different ways and times and places to respond to the kind of challenge Ni kita Khrushchev has threat ened. It is even possible to conceive of a response by lim ited airlift. Such an airlift would supply the Allied gar risons in that city, and would be accompained by the prom ise to send a tank column if the civil traffic to Berlin were interrupted by the East German Government. It must be said, however, that this way of dodging a challenge to the right of Anelo-Franrn- American military traffic to use the roads and railways, is obviously vulnerable to salami tactics. This expedient is therefore sharply opposed Dy Murpny and Dulles. Meanwhile, the State De partment has let it be known that all the long talks with Mikoyan produced no sign of any softening in the Soviet position on Berlin. Against this background, even . al though the "staffing out" pro cess is still to be completed, the decision already taken about Berlin is a very solemn matter, (c) 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.
