Time was, and not too long ago, when this pleasant community had a statewide reputation as being sort of sleepy, unprogressive, and averse to change. Fund - raising projects traditionally died a painful, lingering death. Bond issues for civic projects were defeated. Merchants, resi dents, the city itself, resisted change, new ideas, improvements. But, based on recent events, it looks as though a fresh new breeze, .brisk and invigorating, is blowing in Ashland. riRST of all, when the time came last fall to raise money to keep the Oregon Shakespeare an Festival in operation, what city did more than any other to raise the money? Ashland did. In general solicitation, it not only exceeded Medford, which is about three times its size, on a per capita basis, but also in total amount. And last week, after a sometimes-heated cam paign, voters flocked the polls and approved by a better than t'wo-to-one margin the issuance of $1,250,000 in bonds to build a big new junior high school. The school not only will take the place of the 59-year-old building now in use it also is a vote of confidence in Ashland's future, for it will be built to care for more students than now attend junior high, and will be expandable to house even more'in the more-distant future. F THESE actions are any criterion, Ashland has emphatically rejected a role as a dead-or-dying city, populated by mossbacks and defeatists. It has shown self-confidence and aggressive optimism, which cannot help but be reflected in the overall tenor of community life. Ashland, once before, was a booming and op timistic town, a major railroad center. It invited the famous John MacLaren, who designed Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, to lay out Lithia park probably the most beautiful small-town park in the west, and perhaps the nation. In those days it supported the school which is now Southern Ore gon College; it had Chautauquas each year and built a big building to house them. 4 GRADUALLY, somehow, the aggressive spirit slipped away. But no more. Once again the college is the center of the cultural life of the community.. The Shakespeare Festival, which for some time re ceived stronger support outside of the city than it did there, has been re-adopted as Ashland's own. The voters have shown their willingness to pay for the needs of education which are, indeed, the needs of Ashland's future. - Businessmen have organized to keep the city's economic climate good, and to help it grow. Ashland has earned a salute. More power to it. E.A. . A Legislators Life Since sharp and sometimes rather general criticisms of the Oregon have appeared in this space not infrequently in the past few months, it should be pointed out, in all fairness, that such criticisms do .not necessari ly apply to individual members. . It has often been pointed out here what a difficult job is faced by members of the legisla ture. The wonder of it women are willing to make the sacrifices. Among these sacrifices is the intangible, but nevertheless very real one of being on the re ceiving end of criticism. It rankles particularly if one feels it is not merited in one's own case. A ND a legislator is "damned if he does and damned if he doesn't." For instance, the Roseburg News-Review the other day carried a long article by its able editor, Charles V. Stanton, in which he criticized the leg islature in terms very similar to those used in this column but for opposite reasons. We have argued that the state must maintain a certain level of state services (particularly in educational support) if it is to do justice to the people it serves. This implies the need to collect the taxes needed for such a program. Stanton's article, on the other hand, was criti cal because the legislature has shown what he feels is too little disposition to cut down on serv ices to match the state's income. A CONSCIENTIOUS member of the legislature, "V reading botri papers, might well come to the conclusion that he just can't win. He's going to be lambasted no matter what he does. The solution is for him to . follow his con science, vote according to his convictions, satisfy himself that' he is right, and then to heck with the critics. . If he feels motivated to answer them, so much the better. For it is only in full and frank dis cussion of the state's needs that the people can obtain a sufficient understanding of them. WE WONDER if it would not be a good idea " for the legislature to have a one-week recess sometime along toward the end of the session. , While it.Is possible to be too far removed from the legislature properly to assess its accomplish ments, it is also possible for a member to be too closely concerned with the problems of the mo ment, thereby losing a sense of perspective and the "large view" which a legislator needs.. If there were such a recess, members' could return home, relax a little, and have a chance to find out, on their home ground, what their con stituents are thinking. E.A. legislature as a whole is that enough men and Dennis the Matter of Fact MR. MISSILE GAP Washington - For the past ten days, . Washington has been preoccupied with the suc cession at the State De partment. The occup a t i o n was needless. Christian A. Herter was the obvious and almost nec e s s a r y choice to suc ceed John Ins-ph Alsno Foster Dulles; and he is also a man of proven stature, char acter, and courage, who ought to do a first rate job. No one, meanwhile, seems to be at all preoccupied with the succession atthe Defense Department, although the early departure of Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy was foreseen some time-ago. It is taken for granted that when McElroy goes, his Under Sec retary, Donald Quarles, will get the top job. Certainly the President will have the ut most difficulty in finding any other replacement for Mc Elroy. Yet the succession at the Defense Department really deserves . more attention than the succession at the State De partment, if only because the right name for Donald Quarles is "Mister Missile Gap." -..-.. - ' QUARLES has been a lead ing defense policy-maker during the whole of the last six years, when the world bal ance of military power has tilted so dangerously against us. He has had much authori; ty over our missile programs, and the missile gap is the worst of our problems.' He currently opposes the mea sures that might bridge the gap. And if he had had his way in the past, there" would be no mere gap, but a vast unbridgeable, inesc apable abyss. ' These are rather serious things to say about the fore ordained next Secretary of Defense; but they re easily documented. In brief, when Quarles first entered the De partment as Assistant Secre tary for Research and De velopment, the American' long range missile program was in a condition that was appalling to contemplate. The cause of this condition was bad specifications. The development of compact, rela tively light . weight H-bomb war-heads had not been fore seen or allowed for by the Air Staff. Missile designs were therefore required- to carry war - heads , of impossible weight and size. Thus the missiles under development were then either doubtfully useful or actually impossible. In the first category were Snark and Navajo projects, both now. terminated. In the impossible category was the Atlas as then conceived, as a Try and -By. BENNETT CERF- JOHN CAPLES, of the potent advertising firm of B.B.D. and (X, lists seven questions that must be answered in the affirm ative for an ad to be successful: 1. Does your ad attract the right audience? 2. Does your ad hold the audience? 3. Does your copy create desire? 4. Do you prove it is a bargain? 5. Do you es tablish confidence? 6. Do you make it easy to act? and 7. Do you give prospect a reason to act at once? Mr. Caples is the origina tor of three , advertising catch-lines that I'm sure you will remember: "They Laughed When I Sat Down at the Piano," "They Grinned When the Waiter Spoke to Me in French," and "Sixty Days Ago They Called Me Baldy."

ON THE initiative of the Air Force's Assistant Sec retary for Research, Trevor Gardner, a committee was named to review the long range missile program under the leadership of that great scientist, the late John Von Neumann. Without the Von Neumann committee's report, we should probably have no serious long range missile pro gram to this day. But the changes the committee pro posed were tepidly received by , the Air Staff, and they were actively opposed by Donald Quarles. The dogged insistence of Gardner, the bold determination of his chief, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott, were both needed to secure accept ance of the Von Neumann Committee report. . The principal initial change. was the complete re-design of Atlas, as a workable missile built around the new, much lighter weight warheads the Atomic Energy Commission was perfecting. Somewhat lat er, the decision to add the Titan project also grew out of the Von Neumann report. Without Titan, this country would not even be in sight of having a long range ballistic missile capable of being placed in a fully hard pad. But once again, Ronald Quarles sharp ly opposed the inauguration of the Titan project; and Tal bott and Gardner had to fight with tooth and claw to win the day. PVEN the re-design of At las and the order for Ti tan would have been fruitless, however, without - the estab lishment in Turkey of missile watching Radars. Nothing but the grim, indisputable intel ligence derived from these radars could have driven the Eisenhower administration to spend the necessary sums for serious . development of the big missiles. But once again, Donald Quarles fought the whole plan for the missile watching radars. The project was smuggled through, with out Quarles's concurrence, by the Talbott-Gardner team. In truth the country owes much to these two men, one of whom was later disgraced, while the other was briskly dismissed for his pains. Such is the early Quarles record, in the formative peri od. The later record has been beginning. Indeed, the great tragedy of the hapless Mc Elroy's service as Defense Secretary has been his choice of Quarles as his chief ad visor. But with the missile gap growing more perilous with each passing month, "Mr. Missile Gap" will no doubt become Defense Secre tary when McElroy goes, (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Stop Me Today & Tomorrow By Walter THE SENATE AND HERTER The unanimity and speed with which the Senate con firmed the nomination of Sec retary Herter are impres sive, and ob viously they were meant to be. The Senate was repairing the damage caus ed by the fum bling and un gracious way Walter Lippmann in which the appointment was made. It is not easy to explain why the President and Mr. Hagerty did so much to cre ate the impression that the appointment was being made reluctantly and with reserva tions. Mr. Arthur Krock, in his penetrating account of the affair, is no doubt right that in the beginning the President was suffering from an emo tional reaction to the very bad news from Walter Reed hospital. But, as Mr. Krock goes on to point out, this still leaves unexplained the mys tery of why, after the results of Mr. Herter's medical check up were known in Augusta, after Senator Dirksen and others in the know had said that the appointment would go to Herter, Mr. Hagerty was still casting doubt upon it. A possible explanation is that the President was until the last moment under strong pressure from supporters of some rival for the office. This is an unpleasant and embarrassing subject to dis cuss. But for the long run the explanation which will do the least damage is that the Presi dent avoided facing up to the grim facts until Mr. Dulles, who had tried to resign some weeks earlier, insisted that the President face up to them. The shock was great. Even then the President shrank from taking the final step of naming Mr. Dulles' succes sor. During this hesitation he opened himself to pressure to appoint someone other than Mr. Herter. rpHE action of the senators reflects not only their high opinion of Mr. Herter. They have also given notice to the President that he has a Secre tary of State who carries great political weight, and is not to be treated as a minor underling. The Senate has not Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initia' for publication is permissible.

X Not All Moslems To the Editor: I read with interest the letter of Mr. Park er Bailey of March 18, re garding "Mid-East and Bible." In his letter he suggested that the Arabs are Moslems. May I, respectfully, invite his attention to the fact that this is not quite correct. Some of the Arabs are Moslems. Arab Christians who are at present nearly nine millions existed long before Arab Moslems. In deed some of the great Arab thinkers are Arab Christians, including George Antonius, Fayez Sayegh, Charles Malik and others. Neither Moslems nor the Arabs have ever claimed to be God's chosen people. Indeed, the concept of chosen people and superior race is alien to Arab thinking. It is true that the Arabs, both Moslem and Christian, are descendants of Abraham even more than Ben Gurion, a Pole, whose ances tors might have been convert ed into Judaism several hun dred years, ago from amongst some of the Slavic tribes. One wonders whether Elizabeth Taylor, who was recently con verted into Judaism, is also a descendant of Abraham. The opposition of Arab Mos lems and Christians to the Zionist Jews is because Ben Gurion and his supporters are intruders in' Palestine against the will of the Arabs, capital izing on humanitarian senti ments and misinterpretation of the Bible.

Wagon Train To the Editor: It has been nigh two score years since it was my pleasure to inter view the last known survivor of the first covered-wagon trains to set out for the prom ised lands of the west and who still had memories of that great trek.. There may have been others, of course, but it was my privilege to meet them. The one in question was Mrs. Snelling over in the far eastern Oregon country of Summer lake. She was a girl of five, coming with the well-known Bachelor party of Lippmann only confirmed Mr. Herter for the office, but it has done all that it could do to confirm his influence after he is in the office. Both abroad and at home this is salutary and important. For in the complicated nego tiations, which Mr. Herter is conducting, it would be a fa tal handicap if Dr. Adenauer or General de Gaulle or Mr. Macmillan were given the im pression that the Secretary of State does not have the confi dence of the President, and that there is an appeal over his head through others who have the ear of the President. The Senate has struck a migh ty blow against such shenani gans. For the unaniomus sup port of the United States Sen ate is something that few of Mr. Herter's predecessors have ever enjoyed." AT HOME, the action of the Senate is a useful offset to the thunder on the right. This thunder is still in the dis tance. But it is unmistakable. It is designed to intimidate him. The purpose of the in timidation is to prevent him from negotiating a modus vi-vendi-the theory being that in war, cold or hot, anything short of unconditional sur render is appeasement. In times like these the easi est and cheapest position for a politician or a public man is to demand the uncondition al surrender of the adversary. The extreme position is often regarded by the gullible, who do not know the difference between patriotism and patri- oteering, as the bold and firm position. But the extreme po sition is a phony. It takes much more boldness and firm ness and internal courage to be moderate and rational than to be a jingo and a verbal fire-eater. Mr. Herter is a moderate and a rational man. For evi dence of this, we have only to read his answers to the exam inations by Senator Morse be fore the Foreign Relations Committee. These answers are a model of how a statesman in a very powerful country ought to talk about the issues of life and death, and they re veal a moderation and a ra tionality which have their roots in an unfrightened and serene spirit. (Copyright 1959, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.) cations that country Her most vivid memory was the whipping she and three others near her own age got for straying from the wagon train, out of sight near a mile away before being found. Her people found, as others of that beginning hegira did, that the roving red-men of the plains gave them no trouble at all. She said they appeared really more curious than friendly, many of them never having seen a white woman, especially the young Indian males whose black eyes were ever on the maturing girls of the party. To the Indians all, the ox yoke and, wagon-wheel were the most astounding. They walked and rode beside the plodding, protesting oxen, never the willing worker as is the horse, feeling of the yoke-end and the bows pinned atop, to make sure their very eyes was not playing false witness. The steel-tired wagon wheel of still greater surprise. As she related to me, "The greatest concern to the lead ers of our wagon-train was the chance of one of the In dians being run over, as the Indians would persist in crawl ing under the high-wheeled wagons to see the mysterious things go round and round, more astonishing ' it seemed that our most modern inven tions of the day are to us of today." This should not be too sur prising to us wherywe remem ber that the only method of weight transportation was via the horse's back, directly on it or just behind the horse swung on two trailing sticks known as the travois, cross ed and resting on a saddle on the horse's back. Truly-quite a leap forward to the big cargo-planes today. F. J.

In stead of expending energy pursuing the opposite sex, the sexless trout just grows indolent and fat and thus of greater commercial value, it was said. Stop that pouting, rainbow trout, In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS You'll remember, of course, the two young escapees from San Quentin who held a San Francisco woman at knife's point for six hours, threaten ing to kill her if officers moved in to capture them. Possessing high and deathless courage and quick wit, she talked them out of it and they surrendered. One of them was sent to Folsom, California's maxi mum security prison. The other (who had been sent up for burglary) was ordered to the California medical facility at Vacaville for psychiatric examination. He complained bitterly. "I'd like to know," he told newsmen, "the reason for sending me there to a nut house. I'm not a nut. If you place a man where nuts run the yard, you don't know-I might end up a nut." A LOT of us would like to knftiB his rpnsnn for In coming a burglar when so many more richly rewarding callings were open to him. "PROM the Salem Statesman: "The Russians are learn ing that grants (of money) do not always win friends. After Nasser got mad at the Soviet Union over its interference in Iraq, the people of Yemen, a small sheikdom which is federated with the United Arab Republic, stoned a group of Soviet officers and techni cians who arrived to imple ment a development program which probably meant com munist financial aid for Ye men's economy. "Maybe we should just let the Russians burn THEIR fin gers on foreign aid." V7"OU know, there's really a thought there. Leaving out the Marshall Plan which was a relative ly inexpensive device to put our friends and allies back on their feet after a long and cruel war in which a large share of their cities was de- stroyed-we haven't got much friendship out of the billions we have spent for foreign aid Maybe it might be better, as the' Stateman suggests, . to let the Russians take the grief for a while and listen to the cries of COMMIES, GO HOME!

"That would be understand able, but the department mails two separate envelopes, each containing the same news release, to each of the three, so that SIX identical news releases arrive at the same time."

It was used to indicate "iron horse enthusiasts" that is, locomotive hobbyists. We are in doubt as to whether or not it is a real word, or one coined for the occasion, but It doesn't matter very much, since it IS descrip tive, and it also opens up a whole field for word-coiners. Presumably a railroad locomotive mechanic would be a ferroequinotechnician, and one who makes a study of locomotives would be 9 ferroequinoligist.

E. Nealon, the Mail Tri bune's correspondent of many years in the Table Rock dis trict, dropped in to the office the other day and told us about his two cats - one of them white, the other gray with white markings. - One morning during the "big smudge" season, the cats were off playing in different directions. Came milking time and they arrived at the barn for their customary squirt of milk. They chanced to meet in front of the barn. The white one was a dirty gray; the gray one almost black. Not recog nizing each other, they hissed and spat and almost got into a fight before they finally de cided they were friends after all. We suppose it was in evitable, the "signs of the times" story told us last week - about the two small youngsters who were en gaged in a name-calling con test, each trying to outdo the other in finding a crowning insult. Finally the little girl wrinkled her brow, concentrated, and ex claimed, "You you you old smudge pot!H" The springtime !s budget time for agencies of govern ment, a time of much hand wringing and worry, both for budget committeemen and for the public employees whose offices depend on sup port for the amounts of money the budgeters allot. One classic tale is about the county department head who asked for more people on his staff. One hard - headed bud get committeeman asked him. Why don t you put the men you have to work?" He replied, "Can't do any thing with 'em. They just sit there with their feet on their desks." What happened to HIS bud get doesn't need telling. We've also heard about one small town which, like many others, had difficulty finding enough people to serve on the budget commit tee. Finally the city fathers started keeping a list of people who during the year had registered . complaints about the city, or signed pe titions for or against this or that. Comes budget time, they are called, reminded of their "interest in civic af fairs," and asked to serve. In other words, "Put up or shut up."
