REDS VISIT JAPAN Tokyo-dTD-For the first time since before World War II Russian tourists began sight seeing in Japan today. The 21 Soviet visitors, 11 of them women, arrived Monday un der a travel agreement signed last year between Japan and Russia. Spring - and the Centennial Spring arrived last week. And the weatherman has certainly cooperated. There have been a few sprinkles of rain (just enough to keep things fresh and green the way they should be in the spring) and a lot of sunshine (just enough to encourage flowers, and leaves and shrubbery). The nights have been cool and fresh, and the days just warm enough to be comfortable and cool enough to be refreshing. CPRING means that summer is coming. And summer, particularly in this Centennial year, means that visitors are coming coming to enjoy our scenery, our hospitality and our Cen tennial. We hope the state, and particularly Jackson county, will be ready for them. One way of getting ready is to know enough about the state to be able to answer intelligently whatever questions are asked by visitors. Another is to get into a hospitable frame of mind. Still another is to support the efforts of the good folk who are working to make the Centen nial successful interesting and productive for Oregonians and visitors alike. "NE way in which the latter can be accomplish- ed is to purchase (for only one dollar) the "gold nugget" pins being sold in all parts of the county to " '59ers." These designate membership in the Jackson County Centennial association, and the money raised from the sale goes for projects of the association such things as the Visitors' Welcom ing Stockade on the summit of the Siskiyous. The pins, if nothing else, will be good "ice breakers when you run across an out-of-state visi tor. "What's that?" he'll say, pointing at your lapel. "Well, that's a gold nugget in a gold pan," you'll answer. "You see, in the early 1850's, over in Jacksonville you should see it, by the way they discovered gold ..." And there you are, good host, pleasant con versation, satisfied guest. E.A. Little Electrics Americans have created an automobile-borne civilization. In recent years, with the growth of leisure time, an increase in suburban living, and with larger take-home pay envelopes, more and more families are becoming the owners of two cars. Ihe availability of small cars, manv of them foreign made, which are generally cheaper than the larger "traditional" American cars, has speed ed this trend. Used cars, too, not as prestigeous as the "No. 1" family car, but cheaper, have play ed a part. DICYCLES and motor-scooters haven't "caught on" in America for adult use as they have in many other countries, particularly in Europe. Jtsut now comes news which has the potentiality car trend to new neignts. It is desenbed m World, which reports the "Shopper-Commuter" J- - Jl 1 1 i i 1 i -v i is operated Dy electricity, weigns sou pounds, runs 50 miles a day on one charge, will use only $d worth of electricity per month to recharge its batteries, and will retail at an estimated price of $750. THE car is now in the zine says, and will be produced if financing can be secured. We could be wrong, but we have a feeling they would go like hot-cakes if they are ever put on the market at the indicated price and perform according to specifications. The body, made of reinforced plastic, would come in two models, convertible and convention al, on a low chassis with three -or four small wheels using low-pressure tires. Three or four rechargeable batteries would provide the three to five horsepower for two electric motors at the rear wheels, sufficient to give speeds up to 40 miles per hour. On downhill grades, the motors would generate current which would automatically recharge the bat teries. At night, a cord could be plugged into a house hold circuit to provide the batteries with enough energy to run the car for 50 miles. JMTOST homes built these days come equipped m . with two-car garages. Most families would like two cars, whether or not they can, right now, afford them. If a car is offered at $750 which will do all that anyone usually asks of a second car that is, to take you to the grocery, or use to go to and from work we foresee a real boom in the little buggies. .

Dennis the bihmoau eoTTAr Washington Report By WILLIAM GOP MONEY WORRIES Washington The Republi can party is suffering the all but novel experience of be- "ling badly short on mon e y with which to face the I960 Pres idential and Congressional j campaigns . . Worse yet, the ordinarily William S. a" White es are still showing no sign of being pre pared generously to open up. This is perhaps the most sig nificant single political fact of today. It is even more im portant, though far less dra matic, than the slowly devel oping personal contest be tween Vice-President Richard M. Nixon and Governor Nel-! son Rockefeller of New York for the 1960 Presidential nomination. For it has never been any secret that, by and large, raising adequate money has not been to the Republicans anything like the painful problem it has usually been to the Democrats. This has been particularly true in those periods when Republi can administrations have been in power. VOW, however, though the Republicans do quite un deniably still hold the White House, the plain fact is that contributions to the party are hardly above a trickle. This can be said with total confi dence after a good deal of snooping about; naturally, neither party is anxious to discuss its cash register in public except on occasions where special needs overcome all reticence. The most-striking part of the thing is that checks to the GOP from the so-called Wall Street crowd are now just about as grudging as those from smaller business. This "Wall Street crowd," the very, very rich interna tionalist industrialists and bankers from the East, form ed the financial"" core of the original pro - Eisenhower movement in the party. The orthodox and predominantly Midwestern Republican smaller-business men for the most part were never enthusiastic about this Administration. The fact that these are now sitting on their checkbooks is thus not so upsetting. But it is an unkind cut, indeed, that "the big Eastern fellows," as sometimes they are called, are doing much the same thing. ' t ALL this presents a truly basic, and possibly a frightening, problem to the GOP. - For the general readiness of business to contribute to the party has been in the his torical sense its greatest fi nancial surety just as, more recently, the financial sheet anchors of the Democrats have been the vast labor unions. And while business money refuses these days to move in any impressive sums into the GOP, the Republi can pros entertain the most lively and gloomy suspicions that the Democrats will feel no equivalent drought from their labor sources. It is, of course, far too ear ly to suppose that the GOP will actually be starved out in the 1960 campaigns. In deed, all history suggests that even the most worry-prone Republican partisan need not have anything like so ex treme a fear. All the same, it is a fact that those who must raise the money are feeling the increasing twinge of anx iety. WHAT, then, has happened within the Grand Old Party to cause so many to Menace S. WHITE withhold so many contribu tions? These are among the explanatory factors: 1. Some are holding back simply in exasperation and anger at the very poor show ing of Republican Congres sional candidates last Novem ber. 2. Some are playing It close to the chest because the GOP national committee is essentially a pro-Nixon group. No doube they wish to avoid getting too close to the pres ent Nixon-led party organiza tion in case Governor Rocke feller should defeat Mr. Nix on at the 1960 convention and thus become the new party king. 3. Some are muttering in anger at the Republican party generally because of disen chantment with the Eisen hower Administration and with some of its policies. Spe cifically, a good many busi nessmen are privately furious at the Justice Department un der Attorney General Wil liam P. Rogers. They accuse "Justice" of brandishing threats of Federal anti-trust suits and the like before cor porations almost as frequent ly as in the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt. "Almost as bad as the New Deal," they growl. And this, to them, is the ultimate in epithets. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc. Drummond Reports (Walter Lippman is again traveling in Europe. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington in his absence.) BLURRING THE BUDGET ISSUE Washington-Are the Demo cratic leaders going to be will ing to face the Eisenhower balance-the-budget issue head on and soon in order that the voters may have some say in the outcome? They are not doing it so far. The effect of Democratic speeches and Democratic ma neuver is to blur the issue, confuse the issue, and so de lay the issue that it will be difficult to determine who has unbalanced the budget, where, and for what reason. And it will come so late in the ses sion that public opinion will have little chance to make it self felt one way or the other! If the Democrats are going to meet the Eisenhower hold-the-line budget issue and give the voters a chance to support or reject an alternative poli cy, they must do two things: 1. They must quit jiggering the budget piece-meal, adding a hunk here, chipping off a corner there, and, instead, of fer Congress and the country a coherent, total spending pro gram which they can look at whole and decide whether they want it. 2. Do it soon enough so that the consequences of the Democrats' national budget good or bad-can be seen and judged in comparison with the Eisenhower national budg et. WHEN the President sent his budget to Congress - pre cariously balanced, but still balanced, with an estimated $70,000,000 surplus -he was beginning to point up a real, fundamental, and philosophi cal difference between the Democratic and Republican parties. Mr. Eisenhower, even in the face of a $40,000,000,000 de fense program, is proposing to hold-the-line on a great deal of federal spending; he was freezing some programs, cutting others, and proposing little in the way of new or in creased public services. He emphasized balancing the budget as a vital end in itself and as a measure to hold in flation. If he could get a sur plus, his priority was to use it either to reduce the debt or cut taxes.

God Bless Them Anyway To the Editor: God bless the padres and the swallows. Maybe as Mr. Clifford says the swallows did not return to San Juan Capistrano on St. Joseph's day, or St. Patrick's day either. Maybe George Washington did not throw a dollar across the Delaware or Teddy Roosevelt lead the charge up San Juan hill, or the whale swallow Jonah or David slay Goliath. So what? For the sake of those good old padres, who struggled and suffered to build the missions along El Camino Real as far north as Sonoma, who tried to bring Christianity to this part of the world, to them I say God bless you and the swallows regardless of when they return to Capistrano. .

"Gold Hill Billy" Gold Hill, Ore. Officials Inadequate To the Editor: For the bene fit of any interested reader may I quote from the edito rial page of the Financial World Magazine? "Military supplies provided by the United States to other countries have been pilfered and diverted to civilian uses. "Lack of judgment has been Here, at last, there appear ed to be in the making a basic party divergence of both prin ciple and practice. Most of the Democrats said they wanted to spend for defense, more for housing, health, aid to educa tion, airports, roads, and aid to distressed areas where un employment is still high. At the same time many Demo crats argued that more feder al spending would promote economic growth and that an unbalanced budget might even be beneficial. There is no doubt, I think, that a pretty sizable gulf spreads out between the two parties on this budget-spending issue. But so far it is being fogged by a piece-meal ap proach and the prospect is that it will be cleared so late in the session that neither Congress nor the country will quite know what's happening before it is too late. THITHER by default or by de sign, the Democrats are tending to conceal the issue rather than clarify it. Obviously the very methods of Congressional operation contribute to blurring the is sue. By long habit and by the jealously guarded division of authority between commit tees, Congress always consid ers and acts upon the spend ing side of the budget item by item-and never in total and never in relationship to rev enue. The appropriation commit tees and the tax revenue com mittees consider spending and revenue separately-never to gether. This means that in the up coming airport and housing bills, which the Democrats have somewhat cut back un der White House pressure, the Democratic majority is al ready in process of unbalanc ing the budget-but no one will know for sure until Con gress is nearing adjournment, The reasons will be blurred, responsibilitity will be blur red. The only way Congress and the country can intelligently choose a Democratic party al ternative to the Eisenhower budget is to have a chance to look at it whole, soon. It seems to me that the Democratic majority -or the shown in ordering. One for eign motor pool received enough tires in a year to pro vide 44 tires for each truck. "Another country is erect ing apartment houses for ci vilians with materials sup plied by the U.S. for military construction. "One country has an instal lation equipped by the U.S. to manufacture private airplanes for its military officers. "Language difficulties and supply officers, particularly in Asia, inadequate to their tasks, result in situations as stock records kept for 'so many cases of "this side up" ' and a base supply depot with ammunition enough to last 185 years." In another article on the same page it stated, "Recent ly, we were given added cause for worry: The caliber of the men who are exercising this power. It was bad enough to read about the Congressmen who were adding relatives to government payrolls as soon as they were out of swaddling clothes. But the nadir of leg islative dignity was reached by a freshman Representative from Indiana. "Asked " about the employ ment of his wife as an aide and the renting of his front porch at government expense as an office, Rep. Randall Harmon (D-Ind.) had this to say: " 'I don't care what you write about me anyway. I don't read newspapers. I do have the hometown paper sent here, but don't read any thing in that except the funny papers. We hope the learned gen tleman from Indiana is not casting his votes relevant to space-age decision on the ba sis of what he learns from Buck Rogers. I often wonder how our forefathers who fought for our liberty and rights would react to the way we are losing them.

Your civic aspirations man, they're real gone, Your Thursday paper for us is worth waitin' on. Maybe when Harry takes the extra chair, We'll have lots of news, maybe some to spare. Of course the language strong might be, But we'll have real news so why worry. I am writing to tell you there is no complaint, From the pen of this would be poet who ain't.

Comments on Bill To the Editor: Being one of those who might benefit from a deferral tax, I would like to comment on the bill passed by the mental giants in the house as published in Friday's paper. Anyone with an income of $4,000 a year and a home is rich. We are talking about old people, understand; an income of $1500 or less would be much more realistic. And then they charge inter est how much ' they were ashamed to say, and then when the bill equals the ap praised value of the home I ex pect it's sold for taxes and this is called helping old people to stay off relief. I think Governor Hatfield had a really good idea. It would have cut the state in come a little but would have saved the state many dollars Democratic Advisory Council -owes it to the country to show openly what they want the public to approve rather than to remake the budget piece-meal behind the cur tains.

The latest enigma is the abrupt replacement of the Chairman of the State Plan ning Commission, Iosif Kuz min, by his own deputy, Al exei Kosygin. In American terms, this is like the sudden, unexplained replacement of the Secretary of the Treasury plus the Director of the Budg et Bureau. The evidence is too conflicting to be made clear who has been doing what to whom; that the Kuzmin-Kosy-gin shift is certainly linked to inner party politics in some way or other. What makes the latest enig ma so vividly interesting, however, is its place at the end of a considerable list of other enigmas. Taken togeth er, they indicate that all sorts of contradictory forces are still at work within the Krem lin, behind the facade of Niki ta Khrushchev's seemingly monolithic control. The proof is plain, if the enigmas are simply listed item by item. TTEM: The, party secretaries (i.e., the party bosses) of two provincial districts and the ultra-important Moscow district were recently disci plined and cashiered. These in the long haul. I can think of no name that will properly fit the bill as published and hope the governor vetoes it. Arthur Moore 608 Terrace st. Ashland. They Suffer Now To the Editor: In Monday's communications column, it was mentioned that the drive in theater group would suffer financial loss if Daylight Sav ings Time were instituted in Oregon. The broadcasting industry IS suffering financial loss, while Oregon remains "be hind the times"! No matter what the outcome, it will not please everyone, either social ly or financially. Tom MacLeod, Manager, Radio Station KYJC Twins Separated By Rare Surgery London -(UPD- Ten-month-old Siamese twin boys sep arated by a rare operation struggled for life today in in dividual hospital cribs. They were joined at the head at birth. Officials at St. Bartholo mew's hospital in suburban St. Alban's said the operation was successful but that the boys were in critical condi tion. The twins were Timothy and Jeremy Thackeray, part of triplets born to 37-year-old Mrs. Kathleen Thackeray last May 2. The third child, Peter Martin, was normal. Their father, Hendon bank manager Reginald Thacker ay, said neither he nor his wife was told beforehand of the operation performed by the hospital's neuro-surgical unit. The operation, the first of its kind in a London hospital, was performed by 52-year-old neuro-surgeon J.E.A. O'Con nell, who has written many articles for British medical magazines. SSSSIB. F" ' f s Yaw "rtrW""-'? Counsel With . . Mr. Insurance Fred Brennan f. ' 1 y. '-jx', '- Fred Brennan Or Call Mr. Friendly Bill Fish Phone SP 3-7343 MEDFORD INSURANCE AGENCY 27 NORTH HOLLY ST. Bv Joseph Alsop men were charged with hav ing conducted an agitation in the party cells in their dis trict, and especially in the military cells of the party, against measures to discipline the so-called "anti-party . group" of Khrushchev's ene mies at the party congress in January. This must mean that Khrushchev tried and failed to get the party congress to use really severe measures against his enemies. It must mean further that he was op posed by the Red Armv. at any rate at that time. ITEM: At the Coneress it self, the wicked "anti-party group" was endlessly de nounced, with snecial shrill ness by the now-demoted Kuz- min. The lesser, more lately mentioned members of tha group, old Nikolai Bulaanin. Pervukhin (whom Kuzmin es pecially attacked (and Sabur- ov, all came before the con gress and grovelled in proper torm. But the key. original members of the group, Georgl Malenkov. Vvacheslav Molo- tov, Kaganovich and Shepilov, were all noteworthy absen tees and non-grovellers. Item two fits neatly on to Item one. rEM: Prior to the party con tTroce gn o f lom rt uroe mosA. VkJU bV.A.J.sy V TT U1BUU ' to transfer Khrushchev's sin gle most-influential enemy, Vyacheslav Molotov, from his ambassadorial post in Outer Mongolia to tne Soviet Em bassy to the Netherlands. In Eulan-Bator, Molotov is be lieved to be in close contact with the Chinese Communists, who are in turn believed to take a major stand in the in ner party intrigues in the Kremlin. If Molotov had gone to The Hague, the contact with the Chinese would have been broken. But Molotov did not go, although the Dutch did not object. ITEM: Also prior to the par ty congress, a much-touted plenum of the Central Com mittee of the party was held in Moscow. After the plenum, the absolutely unprecedented step was taken of publishing the transcript of the discus sions. The main points dis cussed were the familiar sins of the anti-party group, and the glories of Nikita Khrush chev's agricultural program. The break with precedent im plied a desire to intimidate the political opponents. And again, the absentees at the plenum were noteworthy. Those who attended were al most exclusively the provin cial party leaders, who have always been mainly pro Khrushchev. Among the key' people the heights in Moscow, only Khrushchev himself ap peared and spoke. ALL these items combined suggest that the enormous power now concentrated in Khrushchev's hands is , only conditional power as yet. If Khrushchev has indeed tried and failed to discipline his en emies more sharply, and to ship Molotov off to The Hague, then he cannot as yet be the absolute master in the Kremlin house. He must have enough opponents, probably old Stalinists in the main, to prevent him from carrying all before him in the most crucial of all areas, the area of inner party politics. That fact in turn undoubt edly has enormous meaning in terms of the Berlin crisis. To be sure, it may mean that Khrushchev has threatend Berlin because he had to con ciliate the Stalinist advocates of a hard line. Or it may mean that Khrushchev is taking a great personal gamble, in or der to win such a victory that no one will dare to oppose him. Either way, however, it may not be easy for Khrush chev to back down in the manner so hopefully predict ed by the American policy makers. (Copyright 1959. New York Herald Tribune. Inc.)
