The Commune Zoo
On Edward R. Murrow's "Small World" tele
vision program the other
jects of discussion was
organizations for regimented living in Red China.
Few if any American observers have been
able to visit and study them. Not one of the three
panel members Joseph Alsop, Lord Robert
Boothby, and Han Su Yin has personally seen
the communes in action. The only reports the west
has received have come through the Red press,
or from "neutral" observers.
One such recently was Dr. Sripati Chandra
sekhar, an eminent Indian social scientist, who
spent some time in China, and returned with a
detailed report of what
CCORDING to the New York Times, which
published Dr. Chandrasekhar's report, the
workers living in the communes are provided with
food, clothing, transportation to work, housing,
medical care, and other services.
They work all day and get lectures and "self
abasement sessions" at night, and are always
subject to the "incessant voice of the radio from
Peiping."
Dr. Chandrasekhar added :
"This is the commune, where human beings are re
duced to the level of inmates in a zoo. But there is a dif
ference. The animals in a zoo do not have to work hard
and, what is more, they do not have to listen to the
quasi-compulsory radio. The lack of peace and quiet in
the countryside, where one can retire and reflect, and
the lack of privacy and solitude are to me more ter
rifying than all the hells put together."
TN THE absence of one-the-spot reports from
American reporters (most of whom have been
kept out of China bv the combination of a short
sighted policy of the U.
the harassment of Red
must take at face value
fied observers as Dr. Chandrasekhar.
It is not a pretty picture' they paint.
Such'human degredation of the soul and spirit
are abhorrent to American tradition. And, if Joe
Alsop is right, it will become equally abhorrent
to the Chinese, given time.
New Hazard
As every parent knows, there are a thousand
things which can be dangerous to small children
-needles and pins, buttons, electrical outlets,
knives, toys, stairs, abandoned ice-boxes, tools,
automobiles, strange dogs, to name only a few.
Most of these hazards are recognized, and
their danger to little ones mitigated by parental
watchfulness and precautions.
There are some hazards, however, that don't
look like hazards, and are
erous.
")NE new one has shown up recently, a result of
technical developments. It looks so innocent
that few would even recognize it as a hazard.
We refer to the thin,
tic film which is formed into bags, and is usually
seen as covering for clothes coming back from
the dry cleaners, or as packaging for a variety of
products, from1 shirts to
inis newspaper carried a nine siory poinung
out the hazard some weeks ago, but one of our
subscribers believes the danger should be widely
circulated so that parents of small children will
be aware of the danger.
THIS is the problem :
The thin, transparent material is attractive to
small children. They like to play with it, hold it
up and look through it, and so on.
But it will develop a small electrical charge as
it is handled the same type of electrical charge
which affects a comb when it is rubbed, and
which will then attract light objects.
The plastic, when so charged, will cling. And

as one medical man put it, effectively shutting
off air from the nose and mouth. Babies do not
have the quickness of mind or coordination to
escape, and throughout the nation have come re
ports of many deaths by suffocation. E.A.
Tricky Wording
A telephone call from a subscriber threw us
into a state of confusion yesterday. She asked
for an explanation of one item in last Sunday's
" What's Your I. Q.?" feature. It took a little do
ing, but we've got the answer.
The question was this : If a pen and ink cost
sixty cents, and the pen costs fifty cents more
than the ink, what does the ink cost?
At first reading, one would be apt to think the
answer should be ten cents. But the wording is
tricky.
JET'S go at it this way:
"- The puzzle doesn't say the pen cost fifty
cents-; it said it cost fifty cents more than the ink.
If the ink cost ten cents, and the pen fifty cents
more than the ink, the pen alone would cost sixty
cents (ten plus fifty). But we are told that both
together cost sixty cents.
Therefore the ink must cost five cents, and
the pen fifty-five cents (that is, fifty cents more
than the ink) , for a total of sixty cents.

Washington Report

truly significant news from
Washington? It is not the pos-
1 turings of
those seeking
petty mean,
1 personal po
litical or party
advantage for
the President-

It is not the
run nintt Hp-
Wllllam S. , .
White bate over
"spending" and "savin g,"
though this is not unimport
ant. And it is not even the fact
that the world may be apr
proaching the ultimate war
over the determination of the
Russians to drive the West
Allies out of vital German
positions bought long ago
with so much Allied blood.
No, none of this is the real
news from Washington. And
though only a happy fool
could describe the real news
as good news, it may fairly
be called decent news and,
in its way, actually hearten
ing. It is this:
WE HAVE reached, in this
crisis, a political maturity
that we have not known be
fore, in this generation at
least, in any time of such
peril. Indeed, there are
grounds to suspect that this
new maturity an obvious
adulthood among our leaders
and perhaps even among most
of our citizens may actually
be the true "conformism" of
1959.
To be sure, there is soft
ness in that conformism. And
it may be that among some
there is too great an interest
in the country club and too
little in the country. But it
begins to look possible that
this is one of the compara
tively small prices we have
paid for the larger political
maturity that is ours.
For if too many people are
over-relaxed, far fewer than
in the past are over-tense.
If fewer dreams are being
dreamed, far fewer witches
are being burned. Never be
fore, in any comparably
menacing hour in this century,
for example, has national dis
cussion over what ought to
be done been so free of the
"either-or" mind. (This was
the mind that used to want
to call the police or the FBI
when the neighbor disagreed.)
And while it is a fact that
we have little politicians seek
ing to forward themselves by
dividing the country on shrill
and relatively minor issues,
the wonder is not that there
are so many of these, but rath
er that there are so very few.
And the higher wonder is that
they have had such piddling
success.
Tlf ANY believe the Eisen-
1TA hower Administration to
have been weak most of the
time. This correspondent, for
one, has been so convinced,
and he does not take back this
conviction. But the Eisenhow-
er Administration, in these
days, deserves the support of
every American willing to put
his country above himself, his
ambitions, and even his no
doubt far superior ideas as to
how things really ought to be
run.
And the Eisenhower Admin
istration is receiving just that
kind of support, particularly
from Congress. For if the Ad
ministration has not been
strong in the past, it surely
is strong now in its cold-war
policy as we as a nation look
in anxiety but in resolution
across the region of the Rhine.
It is not impossible that some
of this new strength is being
drawn from a nation now
showing itself to be grown
up at its core, if a bit squashy

against Hitler. Better yet, no
body hears now from Congres
sional floors voices 'imputing
treason to honorable men for
different views, as we all
heard from those forums in
the Korean war.
The crackpot far-right wing
has gone from our national
political life. A remnant of the
crackpot left wing is still
around, but it amounts to
little any more. In a word, the
earnest opinion of one reason
ably skeptical political writer
is that every man in any gen
uinely responsible place in
the Administration and in
Congress is doing his duty and
accepting his responsibility,
including the responsibility of
self-restraint, like a man.
This, then, is the news from
Washington.

ner of Gregory and Pinehurst,
is the revealing information
of nature's ,own children's
conduct in the simple obeying
of nature's own children's

light glowed to the east. Some
of them would stand with
spinning wings so like the pro
pellors of a warming up
plane.
The big white Pekins were
soon showing their inherited
polygamous traits. They were
sold "down - the - river" to the
poultryman. The mallard
shows early signs of segrega
tion. Soon two of the drakes
were being followed by two
hen-ducks each which seemed
to please ttie males mightily
as it does all males. That left
three mallard bachelors who
seemed to accept their isola
tion with the usual duck
cheerfulness. It's a regretful,
mean task to consign them to
the deep-freeze. But such it is
on the farm.
Three of the hen-ducks lay
their large white and green
eggs around the edge of the
little pond that is being drain
ed for excavating. But the
fourth one has accepted the
hide-away we prepared, bury
ing each egg down in the
damp chill ground, hid away
from the sharp-eyed pilfering

Editor's note: The follow

the Salem Capital-Journal,
is by thai newspapers' poli
tical editor, Douglas Sey
mour. It explains a little

lieves are bad legislation. It

Capital Journal Political
Editor
Some were introduced with
fanfare, others were quietly
slipped into the hopper; some
were close to the heart of
their sponsor, others were in
troduced at the request of
some other person or group
and actually meant little to
the person who introduced
them, but all of the bills
which have been tabled by the
various committees of the le
gislature have one thing in
common they are dead for
this session, unless the com
mittees have a change of
heart.
For weeding out bills which
committees feel have little
merit is as much a part of the
legislative process as adding
new laws to the books.
The casual observer has lit
tle idea of the way lawmak
ing works.
'What're They Up To?'
When he reads or hears "The
legislature was in session for
40 minutes today" there is a
tendency to say "What are
those characters doing up
there anyway?" Actually
most people do not realize
that the hard work in the le
gislature is done in the com
mittees where hearings are
held on proposed new laws
when any person can give his
views.
People with particular in
terest in bills, lobbyists, state
officials and just plain citi
zens give their views and are
questioned, many times very
closely, by the committee
members. Then the committee
discusses the proposal, hash

word and phrase for the

Bulldozer No Answer
To the Editor: Over the
years since the advent of the
wonderful claims made both
pro and con for the effectual
use of the modern "bulldozer"
to determine the prospecting
value of quartz ledges, is still
in great odds in comparison to
the usual old reliable method
of taking hand sampling from
the "strong arm" of pick and
shovel days.
Having observed a number
of years ago the results of the
mechanized system on quite
an extensive scale on a gold
quartz lead situated in Siski
you county, California, show
ed very easily that much re
maining virgin ground below
the stripping for some dis
tance had been covered too
deep to do any post-hole dig
ging for further determina
tion to locate any hidden
stringers that may be connect
ed onto the main ledge.
The sad results are, any fu
ture prospecting is hampered
because of mixed up confus
ion. The "bulldozer" is not
the infallible answer then.

Slow Burn
To the Editor: Having read
the article in the Wednesday
Tribune concerning the school
consolidation, I have been
coming to a slow burn.
I am primarily referring to
the Phoenix district. It seems
obvious to me that the feel
ings of the majority of the
people were clearly stated in
a poll taken a few weeks ago.
I personally would like to
keep the Phoenix district as
it is now, but since it seems
we must consolidate, the pref
erence for Talent was made
quite clear by myself as well
as a good many other people.
I would like Mr. Beddoe to
clarify his statement as to
what constitutes a leading cit
izen and the majority, which
he definitely did not .repre
sent. Our children, in my opin
ion, lose their individuality,
as well as a fine agricultural
program which we now have
at Phoenix. We would not
lose this in a Talent consoli
dation. Let us, the real majority of
the Phoenix district, make
ourselves heard before we get
railroaded into something that
none of us want.

Committees Have Chore of
'Killing'
wrong word
It is then the committee de
cides to recommend to its
house that the bill pass, or ta
ble the measure, which means
it will not receive further con
sideration or delay any action
on it.
Although debate on a meas
ure when it is being consid
ered by the entire member
ship of one of the houses of
the legislature may be articu
late and eloquent, more times
than not it has little effect on
the way the vote will go.
Work Important
The importance of the work
done by the committees has
led one freshman legislator to
observe that much of the for
mal session was a waste of
time.
The tempo of committee
work is increasing, with well
over a thousand measures
now introduced. Hearings go
through the day and into the
night with at least two or
three groups meeting every
evening. Some are recom
mended for approval while
others find their place on the
committee tables.
First of the measures to fall
by the wayside was a propos
al that women dye their hair
red for the Oregon Centen
nial. Since then 70 other
measures have been put on
the table by committees rang
ing from matters such as al
lowing an employee time off
from his job so that he will
have up to four hours to vote,
to increasing the pay of cir
cuit judges to $15,000 a year.
An example of one reason a
bill is sometimes tabled is the
action taken by the Senate
State and Federal Affairs
committee in setting aside a
bill to create a legislative fis
cal officer and the committee
in choosing between the two
-which did virtually the
same thing - decided for the
measure which had been pro
posed by its interim commit
tee. Half Have Tabled Bills
Exactly half of the 40 com
mittees in the legislature have
thus far tabled bills which
have come before them. To
date the House Judiciary com
mittee is the leader in tabling
bills which it has considered
Included among the eight it
has put aside are measures
which would have prevented
dentists from advertising, pro
vided for permission for alco
hol tests for drivers at any
time after they get an opera
tor s license, establishing a
statewide curfew and allowing
children over 16 years old to
smoke.
The House Highway com
mittee has put seven measures
on the table including one
which would have required
buses to have an exhaust pipe
discharge fumes from above
the top of the body of the ve
hide.

Soap Sales Start
The YMCA Diamond Lake
Camp soap sales began Satur
day, Feb. 28, Herb Partridge,
camp director, has announced
Any member of the YMCA
or non-member may sell soap
in order to earn part or all of
his way to camp. Any boy
or girl who is 8 years old or
older may sell soap. Fifty per
cent of the purchase price for
each box of soap goes toward
the camping fee for the sales
man. Any youngster who wants
to sell soap must first have
a parent sign a soap sales con
tract. When this contract is
on file at the YMCA the
youngster can check out a
case of soap.
A youngster who sells four
cases of soap earns a full week
at Diamond Lake Camp. Last
year more than 60 boys earn
ed all or part of their way to
camp by this means.

measure can be taken to re
duce the risk. The Strategic
Air Command can be ordered
to mount an immediate, max
imum air-borne alert.
SAC's brilliant commander,
Gen. Thomas S. Power, has
already begged the authori
ties in Washington to put
SAC on an air-borne alert
status. But mounting a con
tinuing air-borne alert will
cost money. Hence Gen. Pow
er has been turned down, for
the usual budgetary reasons.
These are the terrible facts
that have been all but burned
into this reporter's mind, dur
ing his days here, in the head
quarters of the great deter
rent force that carries the
main burden of guarding the
United States and the free
world. The grim mathematics
that prove the facts, are in
deed that, and not mere fig
ments from a nightmare, can
be summarized as follows:
"CURST, SAC is already main
taining a 15-minute ground
alert of one-third of its air
craft, but the existing warn
ing system does not "see mis
siles. The new missile-seeing
radars will not be in position
until 1961, on present projec
tions. Thus SAC now has zero
warning against a Soviet sur
prise attack with ballistic mis
siles. In these circumstances,
the whole SAC force can be
surprised on the ground if
the Soviet has the missiles to
do the job.
Second, the Pentagon lead
ers have admitted in their re
cent testimony that the So
viets may well have enough
medium ranget ballistic mis
siles to destroy all of SAC's
overseas bases.
Third, only one question
then remains: whether SAC's
bases in this hemisphere are
equally vulnerable. The num
ber of Soviet ICBMs needed
to strike at this hemisphere
is proportional, of course, to
the target system. Most prob
ably the Soviets would wish
their first strike to destroy
all of SAC's 30-odd bases on
this side of the Atlantic, plus
the national command post in
Washington, plus the main
nodes of the communications
net of the American Air De
fense Command (in order to

1550 missiles would be enough
for the purpose.
On the basis of the Nation
al Intelligence estimates, the
President and the Pentagon
leaders alike assert that the
Soviets uo not have this stock
of ICBMs at the present time.
On the face of the known
facts, the arguments for this
estimate appear less strong
than the arguments against it.
For example, the only sensi
ble explanation for the shut
down of output of the "Bison"
bomber is the conversion of
the Soviet's heavy bomber
factories to ICBM production.
In addition, it is well to re
member the persistent opti
mistic errors in previous na
tional estimates.
F.
ANY case, the Tightness
or wrongness of the esti
mates does not need to be ar
gued. The whole American
future is now being gambled
on a guess that the Soviets do
not have a few score weap
ons, which they have the
means to produce and have
been working desperately
hard to produce. Whether the
guess is good or bad, this is a
criminal gamble. Only the
same psychology that begot
Pearl Harbor would permit
such a gamble, and especially
after this country has receiv
ed the clearest kind of strate
gic warning at Berlin.
While we have zero tactical
warning, and no missiles of
our own in hard pads, there
is only one way to reduce the
gamble. The maximum feasi
ble percentage of SAC's great
force must be kept in the air,
with targets assigned, bombs
aboard and ready to go. The
word maximum needs to be
emphasized, since the much
easier and cheaper sort of air
alert confined to SAC's B-52
squadrons will provide no
more than "minimum deter
rence" which is not real de
terrence.. The cost, though
. . i -ii i j
consiaeraoie, win De unaer
one billion a year; but intense
efforts will also be needed to
increase the flow to SAC of
replacement parts, spare
crews, jet tankers to improve
the B-47 capability, etc.
It seems a small price to
pay, when you remember
General Power's remark that
"Pearl Harbor, though a high
ly successful surprise, was
really like stamping on a
strong man's little finger."
The surprise we are now risk
ing would not just mean the
beginning of an ultimately
victorious war. It would mean
the end of these United States.
