Good Men
Secretary of the Army Wilbur M. Brucker re
cently reported that some 70,000 "misfits" have
been "weeded out" of the Army.
This action, he said, was caused by the fact
that such men, who are not qualified mentally or
physically for military duty, have been the cause
of many of the Army's disciplinary difficulties.
Their removal has cut down courts martial cases
by 29 per cent, and reduced AWOLs by 38 per
cent, he declared.
It has enabled the Army to close two disci
plinary barracks.
ONE may, perhaps, feel a bit sorry for the in-
dividuals involved. . But the nation cannot
afford to have non-producers, trouble-makers, or
"goof-offs" in an Army which is operating with
weapons of unimaginable sensitivity and power.
In a mass, wartime army, a certain percent
age of misfits is, probably, inevitable. In a "cold
war" Army, with worldwide responsibilities, not
only in the realm of preparedness for fighting but
also in the realm of international relations and
good will, the Army should not be permitted to
have sub-standard personnel.
Thus the move by Brucker is a step in the
right direction.
17'E WONDER, however, if it goes far enough.
' In recent years we have had discussions
with a number of young men who have completed
their military duty, both in the states and over
seas, and in both commissioned and non-commissioned
status.
Their reports have been disquieting.
They tell of incompetents who, through sheer
length of service, have risen to posts of command
for which they are totally incompetent. Not so
much in the higher grades, but in the bread-and-butter
jobs where an army lives and serves ; the
field-grade officers and higher echelons of the
non-commissioned officer ranks.
While their reports indicate this is far from
universal, they also indicate it is sufficiently wide
spread to cause alarm. There are many competent
and dedicated men in service, but in too many
cases they are held back, frustrated, and limited
by men who have found their own little sinecure
in the Army, and are not about to let anyone
change their comfortable status quo.
.
A MERICA'S service men are not only her first
line of defense; they are also America's de
facto ambassadors to allied nations. If there are
bad apples in the barrel, they should be removed.
Thinking career men who are aware of the
problem, when asked what can be done, are apt
to throw up their hands and declare that you
can't beat the system: that the. Army hierarchy by
its very nature will attract and keep a certain per
centage of little Napoleons and incompetents.
This may be true. It also may be tine that the
pessimistic reports are overstated. But it is time
that the problem of Army personnel be studied
again, and that any needed changes be proposed.
A FEW years ago the Cordiner study made sug
gestions for attracting top-flight personnel to
the armed forces. Some of these were put into
effect.
But the facts of the cold war, and of Ameri
ca's world-wide commitments, would seem to re
quire that the entire problem, including that of
the draft, and whether it is an adequate and prop
er means of obtaining manpower, be gone into
again.
United States armed forces have always been
composed of citizens, formed around a small
professional cadre. Perhaps, in an age in which
nuclear submarines, missiles, space ships, 'hydro
gen bombs and radioactive fallout are only the
symptoms of changes to come, this isn't good
enough. b.A.
Psychiatric
The "retreat" a period of quiet, quasi-iso-lation
and self-examination, usually conducted
under religious auspices has long been a method
used by a few people to get back in tune with
themselves, their environment, and their God.
We have now heard of another kind of "re
treat." This is a six-day visit to a psychiatric hos
pital for an "emotional check-up" a sort of
mental health version of the annual visit to the
doctor.
The principle involved in each is similar, al
though in one religion and prayer is emphasized ;
in the other the diagnosis and treatment of nerv
ous disorders when necessary, or, ideally, their
prevention before they become debilitating.
.
"THE press release which told of the psychiatric
A check-up quoted the sponsoring physician this
way:
"Industry has learned that a man who is emo
tionally disturbed can be as temporarily handicapped
as one with a broken leg. An emotional 'fracture' can
happen to anyone, but the hazard is greatest among'
those upon whom important, executive decisions rest."
Many of the patients at this clinic are corpora
tion executives, men on whose emotional stability
the welfare of the corporation is based. We pre
dict a success for this venture, for it is too well
known to need documentation that emotional
handicaps can result in executive inefficiency,
organizational conflict, martial disaster, alcohol
ism, and other nervous or mental disorders.
In any event, whatever the occasion, everyone

Matter of Fact
DEMOCRATIC
BATTLEGROUND
Washington Behind the
scenes, the pre - convention
fight for the Democratic Pres-
dential nomi
nation is rap
idly coming to
a high, roll
ing boil. The
score over the
week end was:
One much-dis-c
u s sed candi
date probably
e 1 f m i nated,
4ospn aisod ana one Diooa
stained and vital primary
probably assured.
Senate Majority Leader Lyn
don Johnson of Texas was
the candidate probably elimi
nated. With every appear
ance of sincerity, Senator
Johnson has been saying for
months that his heart attack
alone ruled him out as a can
didate. This reporter and the
others who believed the Sena
tor was in earnest, have hith
erto constituted a small mi
nority. Now, however, there
is evidence that ought to con
vince a much wider circle.
In brief, the able Washing
ton lawyer, James Rowe Jr.,
has long been one of Lyndon
Johnson's closest friends and
most intimate advisors. No
one has had a better chance
than Rowe to judge Johnson's
intentions. If Rowe thought
there was any possibility of
a Johnson candidacy, he
would be leading the Johnson
parade. Instead, after talking
the matter over with Johnson
at great leneth. Rowe has
finally joined the campaign
apparatus of Sen. Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota. He
went out to the Midwest Dem
ocratic conference at Milwau
kee over the week end as an
overt Humphrey agent.
TN the circumstances, the
choice made by Rowe is a
considerable event. Neverthe
less, there is still greater
meaning in the prospect of a
nice, old-fashioned, knock
down, drag out Wisconsin pri-4
mary. This also emerged from
the week end rally at Mil
waukee.
The past history illuminates
the Wisconsin primary s im
portance. In brief, the Demo
cratic hierarchy in Wisconsin
has been divided for months
in its views about 1960. Gov.
Gaylord Nelson is pretty sol
idly committed to Senator
Humphrey. One or two mem
bers of Congress, like Rep.
Henry Reuss, are also lean
ing to Humphrey. But Sen.
William Proxmire is commit
ted to no one at all, and in
the higher reaches of the
Democratic State Committee,
there is a good deal of senti
ment for Sen. John Kennedy
of Massachusetts.
rpHE Wisconsin tradition of
course calls for open pri
maries, openly arrived at,
and the more blood left on
the floor the better. In these
circumstances, the entire
Democratic hierarchy tenta
tively agreed, a good many
weeks ago, to let the voters
decide their differences. A
letter was actually drafted,
for signature by the governor
and everyone else, which
would have invited all the
more conspicuous Democratic
candidates to come into the
Wisconsin primary for a free-
for-all test of strength.
The scheme for this round
robin letter ran into difficul
ties, however, because
series of soundings showed
that Senator Kennedy was
considerably stronger in Wis
consin than Senator Humph
rey. For Kennedy, of course,
it would be a signal victory
to win an open primary in.
the heart of the agricultural
Midwest, where he is not sup
posed to be strong. For
Humphrey, by the same tok
en, it would be very terrible
indeed to be defeated by Ken
nedy in his - own political
backyard.
Apparently the Humphrey
high command became con-
Menace

vinced that Kennedy in fact
possessed a commanding lead
in Wisconsin. At any rate, the
Humphrey forces, working
through Governor Nelson,
caused the round-robin letter
scheme to be abandoned,
after the letter had already
been drafted and circulated.
An effort was then made,
again through Governor Nel
son, to ward off a 'Wisconsin
primary by getting up a fav
orite son slate of delegates,
to be ostensibly pledged eith
er to the Governor himself or
to Senator Proxmire.
SENATOR PROXMIRE
poured a gallon of ice wa
ter on this new expedient
when he was queried about
it by the Governor prior to
the Milwaukee week end
meeting. Over the week end,
the Democratic State Com
mittee then adopted a resolu
tion "welcoming" all "bona
fide Presidential candidates"
to the Wisconsin primary,
and offering to help any can
didate who chose to enter.
That would seem to settle the
matter. There have been re
newed rumors of renewed ef
forts by the governor to use
the favorite son device. Yet
a Wisconsin primary will now
be very hard to avoid, if only
because Senator Kennedy
seems to be increasingly anx
ious for the fray.
Wisconsin looms, then, as
one of the two really critical
tests . of strength between
Hubert Humphrey and Jack
Kennedy. The other can be
expected to occur in Oregon.
In Oregon, moreover, no can
didate can prevent his name
from being entered. In Ore
gon, therefore, Senator Stuart
Symington of Missouri may
also find it difficult to stick
to his preferred strategy of
lying low and hoping the
Democratic professionals will
pick him in the end.

FACING UP TO BERLIN .

crisis is going to get more
tense, more uncertain, and
more over-hung with the dan
ger of war before it gets bet

Sometimes he has bran

The uncertainty whether
the Soviets intend to use force
to try to deny the West ac

stance which President Eisen

yield West Berlin to Soviet
threats and at the same time

opinion too sharply extreme

As one watches the Presi

set himself these tasks:
To be firm enough to be
convincing but to avoid being
provocative in either word or
act.
To persuade the Soviets
that we have the will and the
means to meet force with
force if the Soviets seek to

"Scenic Wonderland"
To the Editor: It was with
great interest that I read your
editorial in Sunday's paper
relative to the license plate
bill, which recently passed
the House of Representatives
the Senate and was signed by
the Governor.
As a native Oregonian, and
one who is exceedingly proud
of the wonders of our great
state, I find it difficult to un
derstand how your paper
could look with disfavor upon
the license plate bill. .The
tourist industry is the state's
third largest industry, and
without the tremendous ad
vertising budget expended
each year by the highway de
partment, it is reasonable to
assume we would not have the
tourist trade we have.
Your editorial indicated, as
I recall, that license plate slo
gans were of little interest
and were actually of some
considerable bother. Actual
ly, as a result of a survey, it
was generally found that the
traveling public enjoyed read
ing license plates slogans.
Certainly you cannot ques
tion the value of advertising.
Without advertising, your pa
per and all other papers would
be out of business. Twenty
three states in the Union and
several provinces of Canada
find license plate slogans of
value. It is true the emergency
clause seemed rather super
fluous and of little value to
the bUl.

going to risk a public opin
ion woefully unprepared.
At his press conferences
the President has invariably
stepped back from saying ex
actly what our course would
be at the first effort to block
ade West Berlin to which we
have access by four-power
agreements.
Almost always he has re
plied that "we will not be the
first to use force." He has sug
gested that a violation of the
Berlin agreements might be
taken to the U.N. He has al
ways said we would "stand
firm."
But these statements, thor
oughly reasonable as far as
they go, have the effect, it
seems to me, of insulating
public opinion from a full
awareness that anything can
happen over Berlin and that
the danger of war simply can
not be ruled out.
rpHE HARD facts are these:
The Soviets have not
moved one inch from their
position that, if we don't give
in voluntarily, they are going
to give their controls in West
Berlin to the East Germans
with the aim of making it a
"free city"-that is, free of the
West.
We have not moved one
inch from our position that if
the Soviets or the East Ger
mans act to deny us access to
West Berlin, we will not ac
cept this denial at any point
for any reason from anybody.
It is useful and correct for
the President to insist that it
will not be the U.S. which
first uses force since any
physical barrier to Berlin
would itself be the use of
force but the core of our pol
icy is that we intend to meet
force with force.
This means that unless the
Soviets recede which they
say they wont or unless we
recede which we say we

meant was the Germans might
do it now in peacetime with

exaggerate remarks which
hold a kernel of truth.
Germany is in the common
market which knocked down
tariff barriers and was de
signed to encourage free trade
among Germany, France,
Italy, Belgium, The Nether
lands and Luxembourg. For
internal Germany, the com
mon market which came into
being at the end of last year
had practically no immediate
effect at all.
In 1957 the Germans had,
all by themselves, lowered
tariff barriers 25 per cent,
The purpose of the contest
in high schools to determine
the proper slogan, was simply
to give the school children of
our state stimulant for think

Oregon.

only one I possess. It is one
I have had on display in my
business. I had hundreds of
favorable comments about the
slogan and plate. Just for fun,
will you please put this in a

there is to it. When the new
plates come out, Oregon will

Representative Goss appears

The words "Scenic Wonder

bill as finally passed, but the
slogan would be selected on
the basis of a state-wide
school youngsters' contest. We,
too, believe "it pays to adver-tise"-as
long as the advertis
ing is good. Bad advertising,
however, is something else
again.
Not A 'Cult'
To the Editor: In answer to
the article written by Joseph
St. Amant, published in the

we should clarify the unjust
statements in that article. We
are not a cult.

most likely outcome. But to
repeat over and over the judg

want war and that we be
lieve they won't force the is

blurs the true situation.
I believe that the United

trary to the opinion of many
people who have neglected to
make inquiry or investigation,
the Foursquare Gospel mes
sage is not new or different,
but is the simple message that
Jesus brought during His 3Vi
years of ministry on earth.
The word Foursquare ap
pears many times in the Scrip
ture and was selected as being
descriptive of the gospel that
Jesus preached, namely: Jesus
the Saviour, the Healer, the
Baptizer in the Holy Ghost,
and the coming King. These
cardinal points have, almost
without exception, been the
basis of great spiritual awak
enings down through the cen
turies. According to church
history, the founders of prac
tically aU the leading denom
inations of our day were men
who had personally expei
enced the fourfold message of
Jesus.
Angelus Temple in Los An
geles is the mother church of
the Foursquare organization,
and is one of the largest Pro

with a seating capacity of
nearly 6,000. It was feuilt in
1922 and opened its doors Jan
1, 1923. Adjoining the Temple
is the five story L.I.F.E. Bible
College building. From this ac

5500 students have graduated
In addition there are schools
located in Ohio and Canada.
The first branch churches
were opened in the Southern
California area and during the
past 20 years some 700
churches have been estab

central and western Canada.
The Foursquare Gospel
church has a worldwide vision
and now has 806 mission sta

Realizing the problems of
the young people of today,
Foursquaredom has a gigantic
youth program with a staff of
trained and experienced youth
leaders. Youth camps are held
in all parts of the world every
year.
The local church was estab
lished over 18 years ago. It

Entering into the French
economic picture also are the
anticipated heavy investment
of West Germany money in

The Germany economy con
tinues to boom but it is not
all rosy.
In the steel industry, the
French hold at least a tem
porary advantage. After the
devaluation of the franc,
French steel sells for from ;
9 to 15 per cent less than com
parable German products.
German steel now is operat-
ing only at about 70 per cent
capacity.
Textiles also have weak

that people have switched
their buying to more durable
goods such as automobiles and
refrigerators.
As is true generally in
Western Europe, West Ger
many has a surplus of coal
above ground and has been
cutting back for a year. Wages
lost to coal miners have been
figured at just under $20 mil
lion. At one time, during boom
years, the Ruhr mines could
not guarantee deliveries and
many long-term commitments
were made for shipments ;
from the United States. How
ever, there have been no such
widespread dislocations as re
sulted in recent strikes and
disorders in the Belgian
"black belt."
Nonetheless, German mines
operate at the lowest rate
since the depression of. the
1930's.
Unemployment generally is

attributable to seasonal
causes.
