And what are these "state services"? They, are a multitude of things which the state does for its people, unable to do them for They include the policing; them, of buildine prisons for convicted felons, hospitals for the mentally ill, and training schools for future doctors and dentists; of provid ing the system of common schools required by the constitution, and a system of institutions of higher education; of caring for age assistance. . These THE state has done over the years, the them, and have shown the taxes to support them. This year, there is a serious question as to whether these services are going to get what they need to continue doing the job Oregonians want them to do. There is a serious doubt, for instance, that the state will make the appropriation necessary to continue state support level. If it doesn t, it will in local property taxes of school standards. - ANOTHER example is "in approving a deficiency appropriation of $1,200,000 for the welfare commission, when the commission had said that $1,900,000 was needed to maintain its standard dependent children and nor Hatfield had recommended the appropriation be cut to $900,000.) This is a cut which m many a household in This sort of thing prompts the Register-Guard in Eugene to ask, "Where is the Tarty with a Heart'?" referring to the majority Democrats in the legislature, most programs of improved .1 i least, tneir maintenance ANOTHER example comes, to hand in the f orm of a letter from District Judge Paul A. Thal- hofer of Pendleton, who m Umatilla county, and who as such is charged with the job of committing mentally retarded people to the Fairview people to the state hospitals. . , His long letter, written obviously m a state ot acute irritation, not to say desperation, says: "During the past year, every time I committed one of these poor, unfortunate children to Fairview Home, I found it a painful experience to inform the parents that it would take approximately two years for their child to work his way up the long waiting list into the institution. When parents ask me why their child must wait two years after they have made the big decision to break up their family, I simply must tell them that the state of Oregon has never made adequate provision for the care and treatment of the mentally retarded. They are not satisfied with this answer. Neither am I." . . JUDGE THALHOFER for the Fairview Home ; provided for 400 additional beds soon to be ready; that by the time pied the waiting list will still be more than 200 persons, and it will continue to grow as Oregon's population grows. He estimates the need between now and January 1, 1963, and unless they are provided for, this year, the waiting list will continue to grow. He adds : "However, it is distressing to note that . . . only 215 additional beds have survived the economy axe. If the present legislature makes provision for these 215 beds only, as is now indicated, then, there will be a waiting list of approximately 600 by January 1, 1963 ... "How about the many retarded children and some adults who must be taken from their homes for their own good and for the good of their families? How about the pathetic little children who will never be able to adjust to a normal family' life nor to a normal social environment? How about the retarded" persons who must be institutionalized for their own protection and for the protection of society? What in the world are we going to do about them?" MOW 'Judge Thalhofer is only one man, one judge, and he is in a position to be principally concerned over the one problem. Yet his informed opinion is an example of the reality, in terms of real people and real situations, of the need for the "state services," which sound so impersonal when phrased that way. ' Other and equally pertinent and even moving arguments can be made for the other "state serv ices" which, apparently, are going to be stinted or ignored this year school support, .welfare aid, higher education, badly needed buildings, and so on. DE(5PLE good, honest and conscientious peo- pie who believe that these things are impor tant, and who are willing to pay their cost, are subject to the age-old cries of "do-gooder" and "bleeding heart." Well, so be it. If having an honest concern for the welfare of one's less-fortunate fellows be they retarded children or persons on old age assistance or youngsters who are faced with a less-than-stand-ard education is being a "bleeding heart" or a "do-gooder," there are a heck of a lot of them. Perhaps members of the legislature . would be well-advised to take note of this fact. And just because they aren't organized into pressure groups doesn't mean they can't think for them selves at election time. E.A.

Walter S wi,it . Robert son is resigning as Assistant Sec retary of State for Far east ern Affairs amid new and overwhelming evidence of the brutality of the Chinese Com munist regime in peiping. The Chinese Communists h a v t driven the voung Dalai Lama the eod-kine of Tibet, from his homeland. They are bay ing at him like fierce hounds in the refuge granted to him in India by Prime Minister Nehru. Mr. Nehru has spent years righteously tutt-tutting our absolute refusal to make any deal with Peiping. So, un happily, have most of our allies, though in a less pom pous way. Perhaps he is now learning that there has been more to the steadfast Ameri can policy of non-recognition of the bandit regime in Com munist China than mere stub born wrong-headedness. For the implacable Red neighbors toward whom he has been so very "reasonable" are increas inely unreasonable with him for sheltering their chosen victim. IT IS sadly possible, how ovpr that it will reauire vet another really big Chi nese ag-gresion. similar to their aggression against our own , troops and those of all the United Nations in Korea, to convince the well-meaning that you can't do business with Peiping. The departure of Mr. Rob ertson, therefore, raises spec ial problems, apart from its istoric irony. His role, though a sturdy one, could well be overstated; he was not the initiator of nonrecog- nition, but only its faithful executor. Basically, it has been the policy of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and also of a great majority of both political parties in Congress. All the same, Robertson, a Virginia banker in private life, had a degree of political Drotection which his foreign service career-officer succes sor, J. Graham Parsons, can not hope to have. As the voice of Dulles, Robertson had in Dulles a backer who was the most powerful mem ber of the Eisenhower Cabi net. He had the support, too, of the dominant conservatives in both parties. (True, he was supported also by ultra-conservative ex tremists who did much to alienate reasonable opinion from a policy that was sound in itself but suffered, as other policy has done, from some of its friends.) . . . . THUS, the whole domestic nnlitiral understructure for maintaining nonrecogni tion is now twW weakened. First, there was the incapaci tation by illness of Mr. Dulles. Now there is the exit of Mr. Robertson, who also is in poor health. No one here pretends to know exactly what is in the mind of the monolith of ter ror that is Communist China. But many fear that Peipkig, which for years has been try ing to shove or shoot its way into the United Nations, may try again before many months have gone. Certainly, the times will be evilly ripe. A spirit of ac Menace JW7S ? S. WHITE commodation toward Soviet communism is spreading, in the understandable and gen eral Western hope that some decent cold war armistice can be struck at the summit conference. Any outbreak of Commu nist-inspired trouble in Asia would be a most - damaging distraction, and there would be temptation to buy it off. Indeed, it probably would be unwelcome even to the Rus sian leaders, because they need a summit settlement There is, however, increasing doubt among highly responsi ble intelligence sources here that Moscow can necessarily control Peiping. The Red Chi nese have already put in a slave system so vast and coldly wretched, so totally denying the human personal ity, as to frighten the Rus sians themselves. It will not be surprising if the eastern branch of inter national communism seizes the opportunity to put on more pressure for recogni tion, perhaps bloody pres sure, while all are preoccu pied with the summit, i It is possible that some such estimate underlies the fact that the United. States is preparing to deploy a naval and Marine task force to the western Pacific. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Letters submitted for publica tion must not exceed 400 words Other Factors Told To the Editor: Your recent editorial concerning the pro posed national park near Florence failed to take into consideration several factors. This is understandable for nearly all of us are in favor of public parks where there is a need, or where it does not impose a burden and a loss on a great many fellow citi zens. The citizens in this com munity for the most part are not opposed to a national park. What we object to stren- ously is the proposed bound aries which would take away Siltcoos and Woahink lakes and a large tract of forest land reaching several miles inland. According to the an nounced plans, this area would be allowed to go back to wilderness. There are many homes around these lakes and farms along the river bottoms. If the owners are forced to sell at a price fixed by the buyer without considering the po tential worth and if they payj income taxes, and then have to lease the property back, in case they wish to remain, you can readily see that they are going to suffer quite a loss. According to the announced policy of the National Park service these owners would be urged, from time to time, to move out. The methods of persuasion could be very un comfortable for the home own er. In addition to .many hun dreds of citizens having to give up their homes to allow this area to return to wilder ness, the local public schools, the fire and hospital districts would lose a big percentage of their taxes at a time when these units are having a diffi cult time making both ends meet. Every situation is different. Here there are no restrictions to the public. Many public roads lead to the beaches, the lakes and the sand dunes. Only Today & Tomorrow By Walter Editor's Note: Walter Lippmann has just return ed from Europe, where he has taken a first-hand look at the Berlin crisis. This is the second of a four-part re port on the situation. THE TWO GERMANYS AND BERLIN II In yesterday's article I said that the present German cri sis centers upon the fact that the reunifica tion of the two Germanys i s now recog nized a s im possible with in' the f oresee a b 1 e future. This is the hub from which, like the the spokes on a wheen, radiate all the cur rent German problems, includ ing the future of Berlin. For reasons which I shall sketch in this article, an un derstanding of this momentous historical fact is essential to the formation of a workable Allied policy. UNTIL last November, when when the Soviet Union precipitated the present crisis, it was the official assumption on both sides of the Iron Cur tain that Germany would eventually be reunited with Berlin as its capital. As late as the summit meeting at Ge neva in 1955 the Russians were still endorsing the idea of German reunification. It is only since November of last year that Russia has openly and explicitly announced that its policy is to have two Ger man states. We would underestimate the weight and impact of the Russian action if we treated it as a mere example of Mr. Khrushchev's impulsiveness or as a case of bluff. Nor is it correct, so it seems to me, to regard as the main reason for the Russian action such inci dental and subsidiary factors as the contrast between the brightness of West Berlin and the drabness of East Berlin, or the embarrassment of the refu gee movement to the West, or even the irritation caused by Western propaganda and sub versive agencies operating from West Berlin. The Soviet Union has lived for years with these things, and the Soviet Union could go on living with them. EAST BERLIN is primarily a working class district and the standard of life has always been notably more drab than in West Berlin, which has always had a large middle class and many rich people. Moreover, the Rus sians, having drained tast Germany for reparations in the years immediately after the war, fairly recently have reversed the process and are makinug big investments es timated by our economists as having reached a total of $400,000,000. The rate of in dustrial growth in East Ger many is believed now to be about 10 per cent per annum, and there are competent American observers who say that the standard of life of working men and ' farmers is no longer radically far apart in the two Germanys. Nor should we regard the flow of refugees as a major element in the Soviet initia tive last November. Traffic between the two parts of the city of Berlin is quite free. If the Soviets thought it import ant, they could certainly re duce, even if they could not wholly stop, the migration from Communist Germany to democratic Germany. . I AM DWELLING on this be cause I am persuaded that if we overemphasize the nuis ance value of West Berlin, we shall miss the chief signifi cance of the Soviet Policy. By about 20 miles of the Oregon Coast is privately owned. The county, state and National Forest have provided numer ous fine parks and camping sites. So you see it isn't as simple as it appears on the surface. We people in this area hope that if a national park is es tablished it will be confined to land already in public hands and will not take away our homes and ruin our econ omy. It doesn't seem to be asking too much to urge our fellow Oregonians to look into the facts before they give this project their unqualified ap proval. John S. Parker, Route 1 Florence, Ore. Chairman, Information Committee Western Lane Taxpayers Association BANKING FIGURE DIES New York-flJPD-Joseph Brod erick, 77, a leading figure in banking circles for half a cen tury, died Sunday. Walter Lippmann Lippmann seizing the initiative and mak ing the indefinite perpetuation of a divided Germany the ba sis of their policy, the Rus sians have a chance to accom plish two large objectives. One is to stabilize the East German state and the satellite orbit by extinguishing the hope of adherents to the West. The other is to confound and confuse Dr. Adenauer's West German state by a spectacu lar demonstration that his pol icy is at a dead end, and mat it has led to the partition of the German Reich. The two-Germanys policy which the Russians have adopted rests finally, of course, upon their military power. They cannot be forced out of East Germany at any calculable military price. But we would be deceiving our selves if we thought that the division of Germany rests only on naked force thwart ing the will of Europe and of the Western world. The truth, I believe, is that for a variety of reasons the prolonged division of Ger many has very wide support all over Europe, both East and West, and also within Ger many itself. It is not merely that Hitler's war is still a liv ing memory in Europe, and that the fear of a rearmed and reunited Germany exists in London and in Paris and even in Bonn as well as in Warsaw and in Moscow. What we have to take ac count of is the fact that in the 14 years which have elapsed since the Allies occupied Ber lin and abolished the Nazi government of Germany, the two Germanys have grown apart. The Soviet Union on its side, the Western Allies on their side, have developed powerful, indeed compelling interests in maintaining the division of Germany. THERE is reason to believe that Mr. K's action last November had its origin in the uprisings in East Ger many, in Poland, and in Hun gary. They occurred after the summit meeting at Geneva in 1955 when the Soviets still spoke of reunification. Almost surely the uprisings convinced the Kremlin that unless they held tightly to East Germany, which is like the cork in the bottle, the whole satellite or bit would liquidate itself. Parallel with this develop ment in the East, there have been developments in the West which point to the same end the continuing division of Germany. One of these is what is called the movement "to make Europe" which means the movement to inte grate economically, and event ually politically, the West Ger mans within Western Europe. This movement has great eco nomic vitality on the conti nent. And there is reason to think that on the political side it is for many in the younger generation the one most attractive ideal that has been offered to them. TUT in this West European community there is no comfortable place for the East German state, which would be very left wing if not Commu nist. It is no accident, but quite logical, that the leaders of the European movement are not enthusiastic for Ger man reunification. In their hearts they are in fact op posed to it. And then there is NATO. Its strategical structure rests on the deployment of the Al lied armies in Western Ger many, and on their reinforce ments by a West German army. There is really not any way by which this military structure could be preserved in any conceivable form of a reunited Germany. Since all the Western allies regard the NATO shield as indispensable to their own security, they must in fact and they do in fact oppose any German set tlement which would disman tle the military structure in West Germany. I do not wish to labor the matter beyond making the point that beneath the official surface Mr. K.'s policy of two Germanys finds great reson ance in Western Europe. It is in this context of a general consensus that reunification is not now practical politics that Berlin has become a new and special problem. In this context a new and special so lution of the Berlin problem has become necessary. It is, I believe, possible to work out such a solution. (To be continued.)

Matter of Fact SUCCESSFUL TEST Washington - During the past week, the Western Alli ance has been tested on the grave problem It I of Berlin, with excellent pre- 1 i m i nary re- results. Two simul taneous but quite different tests were con ducted, both of them here 4osoh Alsoo 1" Y a a u iu6- I TIT . . 1. mrr. ton. The more conspicuous was the tenth anniversary meeting of the NATO Coun cil. At this meeting, some peo ple expected the Scandinav ians and other smaller NATO powers to press for a softer Western policy in the Berlin Crisis. There was no such pressure. , On the contrary, there was' striking unanimity that surrender at Berlin would lead on to surrender every where. The more important test, however, was a series of dis cussions of the Berlin problem by the spokesmen of the three nations that have directly guaranteed the threatened city, Britain,. France and the United States. For obvious practical reasons, these talks between British Foreign Sec retary Selwyn Lloyd, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville, and Act ing Secretary of State Christ ian Herter were more than once expanded to include the German Foreign Minister, Heinrich von Brentano. - THESE talks were the more important of the two tests for rather obvious reasons. They included the men with the heaviest responsibilities. They concerned the right line to adopt at the May Foreign Ministers' meeting in Geneva and the ensuing Summit meet ing - and this is now the key question needing immediate answer. Finally, these talks were the first place to look for serious symptoms of dis unity in the week's grand as sembly of the West, since this was where British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, chief ly said what he had come to Washington to say. Far too much can be made of the divergence between the British view and the Franco-German-American view. The British Government has never at any time advocated the abandonment of Free Berlin, although rather important ele ments in Britain have gone almost this far. Yet the British Government has been more reluctant than the French, West German or American Governments to commit itself to determined measures for the defense of Free Berlin, if that grim need arises. And the British Gov ernment has been much more eager than the other govern ments to "ease tensions as they keep saying, by giving the Soviets, if not of the main cake at Berlin, at least a big bagful of fairly desirable cookies. rpHE issue between the Brit -- ish and the three other allies in the talks here in Washington was whether to go to Geneva with a bag-full of cookies for immediate Soviet consumption. In other words, the British wish to open the Geneva meeting by offering a program of concessions, which would allegedly create a com mon ground for fruitful dis cussion. . The concessions the Brit ish have been thinking about are known to be: first, some sort of de facto recognition of the status quo in the Eastern European satellite area, in cluding East Germany; second, some sort of symbolic change in the status of Free Berlin and of the Western garrisons there; and third, the injection of the United Nations, in one way or another, into the com plex Berlin picture. i Lfl ft Counsel With .. . . Mr. Insurance Fred Brennan Fred Brennan Or Call Mr. Friendly Bill Fish Phone SP 3-7343 MEDFORD INSURANCE AGENCY 27 NORTH HOLLY ST. By- Joseph AIsop . But British Foreign Secre tary Lloyd, instead of arguing for this program, point by point, was required to debate a quite different issue. In brief, the American and French Governments made the point, with West German as sent, that every negotiation with the Soviets is a session of super-Oriental haggling. Begin the Geneva negotiation by offering concessions, they said, and you are then certain to be asked to make a great many further concessions of a much more serious nature. Therefore, they concluded, good tactics require the West ern Powers to go to Geneva with the simple intention of defending Western rights, leaving the problem of con cessions to be considered on the spot if necessary. . IT IS hard to decide whether Foreign Rprr-etai-ir T l ...i. 3" J S-MJJ WOO convinced by the logic of this argument, or whether he was simply impressed by the unit ed front of the other chief Western Allies. At anv rat. he accepted their argument. No doubt the Western negotia tors will go to Geneva with a general idea of their maxi mum fall-back position. But they will not concede their fall-back position at the out set, because of the certainty that they would then be asked to fall back much further. In this manner, the Western Allies have safely eot throutrh what may be called the trial rounds before Geneva. It re mains to be seen now the Al liance will meet the fare more severe tests that are sure to come, when the threat to be countered will be immediate and concrete, rather than hypothetical and still remote in time. , (c) 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc. Editorial Comment INVITING INITIATIVE By its record thus far, the 1959 Legislature may very well go down in Oregon his tory as the Pigeonhole Legis lature. We do not readily re call a session in which com mittees have been so loose and free with their power to kill a bill without granting consideration by the entire Legislature. One such burial without honors was accorded the other day to the measure designed to keep billboards from lining the Oregon sections, of the new Interstate Highway Sys tem. A majority of the Senate Highways Committee appar ently was more impressed by the arguments of the outdoor advertising industry and or ganized labor than with those of the Oregon Motor Assn., the Oregon Roadside Council, the Grange, garden clubs and architects, who advocated the roadside beautification meas ure. This is an important public issue which Is before every legislature in session this year by virtue of the permissive act passed by Congress to encourage billboard regula tion along the freeway net work. It will not down. The Senate committee's act invites billboard leglislation by ini tiative. Proponents could write their own ticket in such a measure, giving reasonable assurance that the result would be much more distaste ful to opponents than was the tabled bill. -Portland Oregonian.
