Crane Count Climbs One of the metropolitan daily papers which reach this office the other day had a tiny wire service story tucked down near the bottom of an inside page which contained the inf ormation that nine baby whooping cranes have been hatched in northern Canada. As is customary on this page, we are glad to convey this intelligence to the readers of the Mail Tribune. . For no readily definable reason, we find the battle of the whooping crane for survival one of the more poignant little epics of modern conserva tion. "THE increase in the whooping crane population revealed by this Canadian wildlife service re port equals almost 25 per cent, bringing the world population up to 38: In 1942 it was down to 15. Since the annual whooping crane census start ed in 1938, the total count has, slowly and not very steadily, climbed to its present figure. It may be, if hunters continue to distinguish the big birds on their hazardous annual flight from Canada to Texas, that the cranes will once again be of sufficient numbers to guarantee against their extinction. E. A. Macmillan To Moscow The British Prime Minister's visit to Soviet Russia must be viewed as strictly exploratory and hence unlikely to produce anything in the way of a new East-West agreement or even a veiy startling communique. Macmillan was at great pains in the discussion in the House of Commons, Feb. 5, on announcing plans for the trip, to make it clear that he was not conducting a negotiation "but something perhaps of the nature of a reconnaissance." In advance of the announcement Britain's al lies were notified of the coming trip, but the record shows no specific consultations on it. Even so, there is no indication that Macmillan is planning to "go it alone," any more than there was any real fear in Europe that the Eisenhower administration would engage in bilateral talks during the recent visit here of Soviet First Dep uty Premier 'Anastas L Mikoyan. Even before the serious illness of Secretary of State Dulles was fully disclosed, the London Daily Mail pointed out that Macmillan was an obvious choice as a sort of "first scout." "It would be inexpedient or impossible," the Con servative journal explained, "for President Ei senhower, Mr. Dulles, Dr. Adenauer, or General de Gaulle to go." jVIACMILLAN is accompanied by Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd, but the Prime Minister has clearly been acting as his own foreign minis ter, much in the manner of Winston Churchill in World War II and subsequently Sir Anthony Eden. The same was not War II Labor government, in which Foreign Sec retary Ernest Bevm loomed quite as large m dip lomatic affairs as did Attlee. The reverse has been Rosevelt and Harry S. Truman (perhaps less so) were to a large extent their own foreign minis ters. Dwight D. Eisenhower increasingly has giv en a tree hand to becretary Dulles. JMow Dulles illness lends all the more significance to the Mac millan mission, particularly so since the man who makes it shares an Ike - with the President. IJPON HIS return, Macmillan will "consult either in Bonn or in Paris or in Washington" and there is a good chance that he will get around to all three. Prior to the Dulles operation, a meeting of allied foreign ministers was sched uled for mid-March in Europe. Also slated is a North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council meet ing, down for Washington April 2. Meantime, the clock lmns out. The deadline in Soviet Premier Nikita to hand over Russian authority in East Berlin to the East German government is May 27. If a Big Four conference is desired by the Russians to ward off an international crisis when the or iginal six months is up, Khrushchev presumably will find a way of telling Macmillan. In any event, Macmillan's speculations as to the real Soviet intent should be as valuable to the West as those of Mikoyan are supposed chev. Then comes the real work. Secretary Dulles, on returning from conferences with Macmillan, Chancellor Adenauer, and President de Gaulle, on Feb. 9 announced stay in West Berlin by foui stand at a proposed East-West foreign ministers' conference on Germany need working out. ti.

Marshall is sick with a great sickness and with his life a gallant and lost era is coming to its close. This was the era of the second World War, in which Mar shall, without pvei having a Wwhite ' field command at all, served so nobly and so well. He was the Secretary of State who gave his name to the Marshall Plan for the post war recovery of Europe. He served also as Secretary of Defense. But before this he had been Chief of Staff of the United .States Army.. ; And, though this post in Washing ton's hierarchy was far below the others he had held, it was this post which most of all he honored in his private thoughts. ".' ; This was the man this rather thin and grey and cold ly kind military man who more than any other on this side of the ocean brought to an end to-Hitler and to Tojo and to all the evil power that they had represented. , IT WAS this man also, with Will Clayton of Texas, and others now lost from public sight who made the plan for which a Europe, then spent and broken, has now come upon a new life of strength and hope. And it was this .man who went to China toward the close of the late great war and made proposals for ending in that ancient land a civil war that has had no end, and per haps will never have any end. Marshall went as a repre sentative of the President of the United States and as a soldier going into a place he did not know. His purpose was to put a stop by agreement to civil strife between National ists and Communists in China. His fear was that this strife and the resulting chaos, if long continued, would eventu ally benefit only the Russians as land-hungry neighbors of lost China. They said later the bitter politicians of the Republican right wing said it that Mar shall had gone to promote communism and to push into an abyss the last hope and the last power of our last ally in the far Pacific, Nationalist China. THEY caRed him, MarshaU, many terrible things; I re member that the then Sen. William Jenner of Indiana called Marshall "a front man for traitors ... a living lie." This was perhaps the most brutal thing ever said in our long history of passionate par tisanship about a man who was as great a patriot and as great a gentleman as we have ever known. Marshall had given up, to a man named Dwight D. Eisenhower, the glory of the top command in Europe .vhen we were all fighting Hitler. Marshall, - with a quiet and heartbreaking loyalty to the great common cause, had stayed in Washington to be only Chief of Staff of the United States Army. Through these years he had stuck here at his post, a soldier quietly doing the best he could while other and lesser men put their names and their marks upon history. He stayed here and he stayed with his duty. And the men who were full of rancor had their way with him in Congress. They taunted him, they screamed at him, they did everything of hate that could be done against any man anywhere anytime. Menace S. WHITE MARSHALL, the s o 1 d i e r, stayed quiet, and as al ways did the very best he could. . Not in all our history has one man done, in a military way, so much for all of us And surely never in all our history has one man been so ill rewarded for all that he had done. Now, in the Army hospital at Ft Bragg, N.C., General of the Army George Catlett Mar shall is fighting, with the gentility and uncomplaining courage that is part of him, against the final antagonist of all men who live, the antag onist which is death. There are no Valhallas in our life any "more. But if a single Valhalla a single gal lery of great fighting men should survive, somewhere, one could hear from this gal lery a great shout: "Marshall, well done." .(Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Editorial Comment LOOKING BETTER. Oregon made news of a sort, and law of a very im portant sort, 30 years ago at the peak of the local Ku Klux Klan's attack on the Catholic Church. The controversy cul minated in a Supreme Court recision which guaranteed the right of the Catholics, or any similar group, t o maintain their own schools. The case got into the courts after Ore gon, at Klan urging, had pass ed a law against parochial schools. Now it appears that Oregon again will be a test state in a related matter. In what is apparently a friendlly suit to test the validity of an estab lished practice, proceedings are being started in Clacka mas county to test the furn ishing of textbooks to Cath olic schools at state expense. Presumably, by mutual agree ment the suit will go the whole way clear to the Supreme court. It should go all the way. And that's where it should be decided, rather than in the legislative halls or in the hate filled minds of latter day Ku Kluxers. From time to time, anti Catholic factions have made disturbing noises, suggesting that another wave of hysteria and bigotry might be on the way. But the seeds have not fallen upon fertile ground. Maybe , we're too sophisticat ed, too educated to fall for the sort of demogoguery that once appealed to s6 many Ore gon residents.

I do know what he is fighting against.

If anyone who is interested in the freedom of this coun try I would recommend that they buy the March issue of the Reader's Digest. The state ment by Ezra Taft Benson on page 138 is alone worth the price of the magazine. This man's plight we first read in The American Mercury. This article is a perfect example of what Dan Smoot is fight ing.

Ella Powell, Box 621, -Central Point Sees Pollution Threat To the Editor: I am opposed to Senate Bill 183 because it would make possible location of a pulp mill on Rogue river. Present law withdraws from appropriation waters of the main channel of Rogue except for domestic, stock, irrigation and municipal pur poses. It permits, however, appropriation, diversion and use of waters of any tributary of Rogue for any purpose. Any industry that might want to locate in the Rogue basin, with exception of "Kraft" process type pulp mill, could do so under exist ing statutes since the other industries can secure ample water from municipal water systems and tributaries. Mqst efficiently operated of pulp mills known today re move only 95 per cent of pol lutants. The other 5 per cent results from final washings of pulp and because of large quantity of liquid it must go into the river. In case of a small pulp mill this liquid amounts to about 60 acre feet per day. To hold such quan tities of water for nine months would require ponds with two times the capacity of Emi grant reservoir or Fish lake. Impounding of pollutants and releasing at flood stage only applies to the concen trated liquors which are espe cially deadly to all fish. . Today there is no known way to do away with the pol lution of the air by pulp mill which is so noticeable be cause of the foul odors. Any westerly wind will result in odors from a pulp mill in vicinity of Grants Pass being noticed in the Medford valley. In summer the prevailing wind is from the ocean up the Rogue river valley to ward Medford. The majority of the present State Water Resources Board of 7 men would permit wa ters of Rogue to be withdrawn until flow reached 5.25 cubic feet per second at Grants Pass. Fish of Rogue below that point show signs of suf fering when flow falls to 800. Most chinook salmon spawn in the main stem of river in September. This is. when the flow is already low. Further at this same time most of the young steelhead and salmon are in the river below Grants record of fightng bigotry. We're far better off to have the question settled in the calm atmosphere of the courts. Eugene Register-Guard. Morse Disagrees on Porter's Report About Cuban Slayings To the Editor: Your edi torial in the Jan. 25 issue of the Mail Tribune has just reached my attention. I have also read the news stories in the same issue of your paper Matter of Fact One-man Genro Washington - When the man. in full charge of this country s foreign affairs falls d e s p erately ill at a mo ment of acute danger, it is no mere pri vate tragedy. Great public interests con verge upon the sick-room of the Secre- Jns-ph Alsop tary oi iaie. Because great public inter ests are involved, it is unwise to be mealy-mouthed. -The President has indicated that he means to retain John Fos ter Dulles as Secretary of State, until Dulles himself positively insists upon resign ing. The Secretary, in turn, has offered his resignation, but he is highly unlikely to insist upon it, in view of his intense sense of mission and his confidence, born of past acts of courage, in his own power to bend an ailing body to an unyielding will. Hence the questions really have to be asked, how long this situation is going to con tinue, and what kind of a sit uation it really is. The con sensus of leading specialists in the Secretary's disease does not suggest reasuring an swers to these vital questions. IN brief, although Dulles is fortunately reported to have tolerated the first treat ment rather well, the radia tion therapy that is being used is almost always cruelly disabling, at least for a while, and particularly in abdominal cases. Furthermore, as one great specialist put it, "it's the kind of therapy I would never use in a normal case -although I might try it in the case of a very important man who positively demanded seme sort of treatment." The best hope really lies in the unpredictability of the Secretary's disease. There is always a chance that it will simply subside for a while, al lcwing him to lead an almost normal life for a further per iod of a few or many months. But the specialists quote cruelly bad odds against this kind of remission. They say that the known symptoms -for example, the severe pain the Secretary is known to have felt before his last brave journey overseas - give only about one chance in ten, and perhaps only one chance in twenty, that Dulles can ever again resume anything like his normal public burden. SUCH apparently, is the real istic prognosis. It is a ter rible thing to put such words in cold print. But in present circumstances, the sad facts have to be publicly faced, for a whole series of public reas ons. One such reason is now ur gent. The firm Dulles policy at Berlin has always been coupled with a calculation of the risks based upon the ex perience of the Quemoy cris is. Because of Quemoy, Sec retary Dulles has always con fidently predicted that the Soviets would not risk a big war for Berlin, if the West would just stand firm. Nikita Khrushchev's last grim, bel ligerent speech .about Berlin has sent a shock of doubt about this calculation of risks through the whole group of American and Western offi cials who have much experi ence with the Soviets. In short, the risks need to be re calculated. If the risks are indeed re calculated, certain new meas ures will obviously be requir Pass on way to the ocean. We should all contemplate what might happen to the Rogue fishery and the $12 mil lion industry that is depend ent thereon if Senate Bill 183 is passed. Paul H. Weiland, 2431 East Main st., Medford .

These may include a par tial mobilization and an air alert of the Strategic Air Command, SAC is now nak edly exposed to a Pearl Harbor-type surprise, if the De fense department has made a rather trifling error in esti mating Soviet missile capabil ities). But how are the risks to be effectively re-calcula ted, when final authority still resides in Dulles sick-room? And how is the President to be persuaded to order these highly repugnant and costly measures, on the advice of lesser men in the State De partment, and if his Secretary of State cannot see the need for such measures through the dark fog of pain and ill ness? fFHIS single illustration is - enough to indicate the na ture of the present situation. It is ' as though the United States were an automobile with the steering-wheel ; pre locked, going down a theoret ically straight road which may yet reveal sharp and un forseen curves. Even those who regard the Dulles illness as a major national tragedy, as this reporter does, must nonetheless admit that such a situation is really not accept able. The , obvious solution is suggested by the "Genro," the group of men who founded modern Japan, and continued to be consulted at all times, and to influence policy very deeply, long after their retire ment from active official re sponsibility. The President has a. duty to name a new Sec retary of State, with full re sponsibility, without much further delay. At the same time, the President could make John Foster Dulles a one-man "Genro." If the Pres ident and the new Secretary then treated . Dulles as the "Genro" were treated, the great value of the Secretary would not be lost. And mean while the hand on the . steer ing-wheel would also have the final authority to negotiate the curves that may be ahead. Copyright 1959. New York Herald Tribune Inc.

" "All evidence was that the trials were just and had been done properly," Porter said. He said that those executed were convicted of "torturing and murdering defenseless people" In the interest of tell'iig your readers the facts about, my position on the Cuban situation, I wish to make the following observations. Your editorial is an inter esting attempt to support Con gressman Porter's grievous mistakes in connection with the Cuban situation. On Jan. 27, in a speech in the Senate of the United States, I answer ed Porter'; report on Cuba. I am enclosing a copy of my speech. t When Porter attempts to excuse Castro's bloodbath by saying, "All evidence was that the trials were just and had been done properly," he made himself, as a lawyer, look ri diculous. The fact is that the executions ordered by the Castro, regime which were protested by many of us on the Foreign Relations Com mittee of the Senate, were in violation of the basic princi ples of fair procedure laid down by the Geneva Conven tion. That treaty is the code of fair trial procedures recog nized by civilized nations as fundamental to the doing of justice. The fact is that, when mem bers of the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate, such as Sena tors Aiken, Mansfield, Cape hart, Hickenlooper, Fulbright, Humphrey, and others, joined me in expressing disapproval of the mass executions in Cuba without fair trial, they performed a great public serv ice. I say that because, as Chairman of the Subcommit tee of the Senate on Latin American Affairs, I have, rea- son to know that our protests " slowed up, even though they did not bring to an end, the policy of "man's inhumanity to man", which the Castro re gime has been following. Also, may I point out to you that those of us on the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate who declined Castro's invitation to go to Cuba re fused to do so because we knew that we would have no official standing in Cuba and we had no desire to let Castro use us as a political stage prop. It was clear to us that, if Castro was acting in good faith and really wanted to sub ject his rifle-squad justice procedure to official observa tion, all he needed to do was to call upon the United Na tions to send an official ob servation committee to Cuba. When Congressman Porter states, as you quote him in your paper, "The storm of protest in this country against the killings was half-cocked, even though well-intentioned," he speaks without knowing the facts. The mem bers of the Senate Subcom mittee on Latin American Af fairs were fully informed concerning the lack of fair procedures involved in the Cuban executions, through briefings that were not avail able to Mr. Porter. If he had asked me, as Chairman of this Subcommittee, for the infor mation on which we based our protests before he made his uninformed pronouncements, I would have been very glad, as his colleague and constitu ent, to have given him the benefit of the facts which had been made available to my committee. Needless to say, I regret to find myself in such complete disagreement with my con gressman. However, the truth and the public interest are much more important to me. Wayne Morse, U.S. Senator.
