"Cross-Filing" Ended The California legislature last week passed a bill which will end California's unique system of allowing "cross-filing" in primary elections. For the past 46 years, a candidate could place his name on the primary of the party of which he the opposing party. Some exceptionally popular candidates, such as Former Governor (now bhiel Justice) Earl Warren, thus would be given the nomination of both parties. But no more. yHE arguments against if to on "1 Inmn!) " onri that primary, elections that cross-filing tends to destroy party responsi bility. Arugments for it, on the other hand, are that it gives the individual voter greater freedom of choice, and that under the cross-filing system California has been singularly free from party "bossism," or party machinations. Which faction is right remains to be seen. "ROSS-FILING, as such, has never been permis- able in Oregon. (The only situation where a candidate could obtain the nominations of both parties in Oregon is to run in a primary uoppos ed, and not only win his own party's nomination, but also receive enough write-in votes on the oth er party's ballot to give him both nominations.) The individual voter should be given the wid est possible latitude in selecting the candidate of his choice. He is deprived of that privilege in a primary election where he can vote only for can didates of one party. We view the California legislature's action as a step backward, rather than forward, in progres sive and responsive government. L.A. Had a Good Laugh Lately? "We want our passenger trains to be good trains. We think our passenger service is as good as any in the country. . . and we intend to keep it that way." . (From a Southern Pacific advertisement appear ing in the Mail Tribune Monday, and in other Pa cific coast newspapers earlier). The statement above from the friendly S.P. should cause a few disrespectful guffaws from those who rode the famed Rogue River Rocket (also known as the "Rattler," and a variety of other uncomplimentary killed passenger service with the intention of keeping it that way. That the service was NOT "as good as any in the country" even in comparison to other non main line runs is hardly beyond dispute, as a mass of evidence at the public hearings concern ing the end of service disclosed. ASA matter of fact, quite, a number of those giving testimony included evidence tending to give credence to the belief "that the S. P. delib erately downgraded the kind of passenger service which, up to 1955, was available on the line be tween Eugene and Ashland. They declared that this downgrading was done. to discourage patronage, so that this lack of patronage could be used as an excuse to elim inate the service altogether. This, of course, cannot be "proven." But in view of the S. P.'s record as to passeng er service in this area, the ad is enough to provide a good laugh to anyone who hasn't had one late ly.

John F. Kennedy. There is even better news for Ken nedy; but pub lic opinion tests showing i 1 A. Josph Alsop me present popularity of the young man from Massachusetts are rela tively old hat. Several past tests have also showed, how ever, that New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller would be harder for a Democrat to beat than the Vice President would be. Wisconsin's good news for the Vice President is a sharp reversal of this pro-Rockefeller trend. - In summary, the Wisconsin poll showed Nixon defeating any of the Democrats included except Kennedy, while all the Democrats defeated Rockefel ler by substantial margins. The results may be tabulated as follows, with the percent age polled by the Democrats given first in all cases. Nixon Rockefeller Kennedy 53-47 63-37 Humphrey 48-52 54-46 Kefauver 49-51 56-44 Williams 45-55 53-47 THIS political poll was taken as a by-product of another sort of statewide opinion test by the well-known profession al poller, Louis Harris, who has made other polls for the Kennedy organization. The name of Sen. Estes Kefauver was included in the poll be cause of the strength he was known to have among Wiscon sin Democrats. Gov. Mennen Williams of Michigan was picked as another unwitting contestant because there was vague talk that he might try to get his presidential candi dacy off the ground by enter ing next year's Wisconsin pri mary. A notable omission among the shadow candidates was Sen. Stuart Stymington of Missouri. With respect to Nixon and Rockefeller, the Wisconsin poll results almost exactly re versed the results of another Harris poll of eight West Coast cities. In that poll, tak en early this winter, Nixon was roundly beaten by all three Democrats included in the list, Kennedy, Humphrey and, Symington; while Rocke feller defeated both Syming ton and Humphrey, but was defeated by Kennedy. Wisconsin is very far rom the West Coast. The Wiscon sin Republicans, who were of course proportionally repre sented in the more recent poll, also included a high propor tion of admirers of the late Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, who would favor Nixon over Try and -By BENNETT CERF- AT A FASHIONABLE night club, a irl-about-town boasted to a friend in the powder room, "I had my nose bobbed for eight hundred dollars and already I've been taken for Kim Novak." "You've been taken, all right," sneered the friend "for eight hundred dollars." There's 'a quaint lady in Red Bank, N. J., who's been going to a psychiatrist twice a week like clockwork for years.

Yet the spread between the Rockefeller vote and the Nixon vote in this Wisconsin poll is sufficiently great to suggest something larger than a local Wisconsin reaction. The Wisconsin poll sug gests, in fact, that voters across the country have been less' impressed by the wisdom and courage of the Rockefel ler legislative program, than by the simple, painful fact that the Governor asked his New Yorkers to pay new taxes. If other polls continue to show that Nixon has a better chance to win than Rockefeller, the Vice President can consider himself nominated before the Republican convention even assembles. "i fFHIS very good news for Nixon is slightly poisoned, it must be added, by the char acter of the good news for Kennedy. Another Harris poll, taken in Wisconsin in the sum mer of last year, showed much the same broad pattern-Nixon losing to Kennedy but beat ing all the other Democrats. But in this 1958 poll, Nixon lost to Kennedy by a mere hair, 49.6 to 50.4, whereas in the 1959 poll the margin of defeat, 47 to 53, was consider ably wider. The margins by which Nixon defeated the other Democrats were also substantially narrower in the recent poll than in the 1958 poll. If these latest results can be trusted, in short, Nixon is gaining on Rockefeller, but his party has been losing ground rather badly in Wis consin. Other results in the same poll cast an interesting light on the strategically important Wisconsin Democratic pri mary. When asked which of their party's possible condi dates they preferred, 40 per cent of the Democrats polled picked Kennedy; 16 per cent picked Humphrey; 15 per cent picked Kefauver; 4 per cent picked Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas; 3 per cent chose Symington and another 3 per cent chose Gov. Williams; and 19 per cent were undecided. In a two man choice, Kennedy was named by 60 per cent of the Democrats, with 40 per cent going to Humhprey. Some may be inclined to suspect these results because of their source. But Harris is a serious, professional practi tioner of , his peculiar special ty. His results cross-check very neatly with those se cured by other pollers in other areas, especially on the most doubtful point, the strong sup port for Senator Kennedy. And the Senator himself evi dently regards the Harris polls as useful indicators, since the Harris findings in Wiscon sin were an important back ground motive of his recent Wisconsin stumping tour, (c) 1959, New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Then on the bottom lines of this writing, "The county court has taken no action on the complaints pend ing a meeting with city offi cials." You good people and all concerned with this smuggy smudge, and especially you housewives where the burden of scrubbing, cleaning and washing things , up after a night of smuggy smoke, if you would just write to your main state official in Salem, your governor, if you please, I am sure we will not have this smuggy smoke to deal with in 1960.

I've been in this beau tiful Rogue Valley, if it can be called vsuch, after a day or two of smoke, since 1939, and it's the same old malarkie and hum-ho every year.

W. Van Hise, Route 3, 111 West Glenwood rd., Medford Humane Slaughter Bill To the Editor: H.B. 629 has been tabled. This is the legis lation to make humane slaughter compulsory in Ore gon. The handling of livestock immediately prior to slaugh ter causes great pain to the animals and also causes an enormous economic loss through damage to the meat. It is calculated that the total damage to meat of all species resulting from inhumane methods of slaughter is over $100 million a year. This loss, of course, is not absorbed by packers, but results in lower prices paid to farmers for live stock and higher prices paid for meat by housewives. Practical techniques of han dling and slaughtering have been thoroughly tested and the packers who have adopt ed such methods, as the auto matic stunning instruments, find that this inexpensive equipment saves money in their operations. However, the packers who are reluctant to change to humane slaugh ter have indulged in lobbying against the proposed law, and with the indifference of our representatives in Salem, a few humane minded people and ljumane societies waged a losing battle. When one animal is seen to be abused and mistreated, people rise up in righteous anger. But because they can't see what goes on inside the walls of an abattoir they re main indifferent to the cruel ty inflicted on thousands of 2,400 legislative seats, and under usual circumstances would be considered entirely local. , However, such is the bitter enmity between Kishi's Liberal-Democratic party and the left-wing Socialists that the campaign quickly became a test of strength between Ki shi's pro-American govern ment on the one hand and on the other the anti-American Socialists who propose ties with Red China. Had Union Support The Socialists had trade un ion backing and, besides dip lomatic and commercial rela tions with Communist China, also demanded the total abo lition of all American bases in Japan and a full ban on the testing of nuclear bombs. Both demands enjoy a cer tain popularity even among conservatives in Japan whose merchants eye hungrily the vast Red Chinese market and whose citizens well remem ber the atom bombs of Hirosh ima and Nagasaki. Sidelights of the campaign were the stop-and-go Japan-ese-U.S. negotiations to revise their mutual security pact and Rec3 Chinese and Russian de mands that Japan scrap the pact altogether.

Bible Is Cited To the Editor: The letter from the Arab Information Center appearing Sunday con firms what I said. March 18 Mr. Mehdi is trying to con fuse the issue by claiming there are 9 million Arab Christians who also hate Is rael. He does not deny that all Arabs claim to be Abra ham's true seed, and want to drive Israel into the sea. He would gladly support Nasser in such a move. This is what I predicted March 18. Israel is God's chosen race because Jesus Christ is de- cended from Abraham through Isaac, Jesse and Dav id (Mathew 1:1-18). This has nothing to do with a superior race. He was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testa ment. Israel rejected Him, crucified Him, and lost the Kingdom (Matthew 21:33-43) and was scattered in AD 70 The Bible also says David's house will be confirmed for ever in Jesus Christ (Luke 1-68-75) whichr implies that God will again deal with Israel after she has been judged for her sin. (See Romans 11.) In the interval between Christ's death and resurrection and as cension until He returns to take His church out and ex ecute judgement, salvation is an individual matter based on accepting His finished work on Calvary, without regard to race or color. (Romans 4:-13-16.) God has chose to send Jesus Christ to Israel to bring His will to the world. Israel re jected Him. From that day un til He returns, it is an indi vidual matter. There is i no need for anyone Jew or Arab or American to go through the war which is fast apporaching. Jesus is the way out. I am no Zionist. Zionists generally reject the' inspira tion of the Old Testament, just as many professing Christians reject the Virgin Birth and substitutionary death of Christ for sin, plus the necessity for receiving Him by faith into the heart and being born again, as well as the inspiration of Scrip ture. Mr. Ben Gurion makes no claim to believe the Old Testament as inspired by God. No Zionist can expect any fav ored treatment from God when Christ returns. Since they don't expect this, it does not bother them. If the Bible is God's inspired word, Christ will return soon for His church, and whenever Nasser and the Russians move on Is rael, the end will come. If this is a fools hope, one would do well to make peace with the Communists. It is the only thing that can stop them. 4 Parker Bailey, 542Vi 'A' St., Ashland, Ore. , ka, normally regarded as a Socialist stronghold, did a Socialist candidate win. The issue there also was clouded by charges of corruption against the previous regime. Income Is High The outcome surprised even the Kishi conservatives who had expected a much closer battle. The answer seemed to lie in the fact that when the chips were down, Japanese vo ters decided that orosDeritv in the hand was better than Socialist promises in the bush. The average income in Ja pan is the highest in Asia. On March 31 Japan closed out its fiscal year with a fa vorable trade balance of more than a record half - billion dollars. Japanese trade delegations are active from Sweden to Ceylon, and .in this hemis phere are especially active in South America. Industrially, Japan has re placed Britain as the world's leading ship builder, is first in the production of silk and Washington Report - By WILLIAM NO EASY RIDERS Washington-'Mister Crump don't 'low no easy riders here." Thus ran a song by old W. C. Handy, of the days when Memphis po litical boss E. H. Crump took a sour view of all who sought rewards with risks or food wuiiams. ,v-: white Now, Mister Kennedy - Sen. John F. Ken nedy of Massachusetts- and various circumstances are tell ing all Presidential aspirants: no more easy riding here. The Senate, which has long been latently the cockpit of 1960 Presidential politics for both parties, has now become the cockpit in motion. The great fight over the Kennedy labor bill is far from over. But already Presidential can didates are being required to go one way or another on all the complications of this "gut" political issue. A HARSH but useful pro cess of clarification is thus noy in full swing. And for this Kennedy, as he takes his lumps and dishes them out, is entitled to much credit. The most open of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls, he is forcing the others to take a stand for candor more than a year before the nominating conventions. It is too early to estimate precisely the effect on Ken nedy himself. His initial de feats by the Republican-conservative Democratic coalition were unquestionably damag ing in one sense: he was shown to be unable to control mat ters, momentarily at least, on his chosen issue. The game, however, Is not over; it is entirely possible that his mod erate position will yet prevail. But other results, in terms of Presidential hopes, already can be put down in fairly firm terms. Vice-President Nixon, who as the Senate presiding officer cannot vote except to break a tie, has now had the oppor tunity - and the responsibility - for casting deciding ballots with the conservative coali tion. He has thus made a grave and possibly fateful de cision to stand with the Old Guard GOP wing for a "tough" labor bill.

Its film in dustry turns out more feature length films than Hollywood. For Kishi, the election was another high in a career that has had both highs and lows. Charges Not Proved Today he is firmly pro American. But during the war it was he who, as commerce and industry minister in Hi deki To jo's war-time cabinet, found the money and the guns to support the war against the United States. During the occupation of Japan, Gen Douglas MacAr thur's administration purged him from public office. No war crimes charges ever were proved against him, but after he emerged from prison he still had to erase the las cist label which his opponents had pinned upon him. His re ply to critics then and now has been: "I have fully searched my soul concerning my wartime responsibility and today I am resolved to devote myself as a democratic statesman to the building of Japan with the people." S. WHITE but it could be a significant and perhaps even an insur mountable handicap in the election itself. lOR one cannot read again the Congressional election returns of last November without realizing that the "tough" labor position taken by the GOP was disastrous in key states. Kennedy, too, has run risks. He hag for the first time been required to break deeply with most of the Southerners. One of the' basic strengths of his Presidential candidacy had been that of all the northern Democratic liberals he was the most nearly acceptable to the South. Its convention votes will be very important, and he has accepted the danger of los ing them over labor. , But a leading rival, Sen. Hubert H. Homphrey of Min nesota, has certainly not im proved his situation. It was Humphrey's absence from the Senate, on a campaigning sortie in the West, laat caused the liberals t lose their first showdown who the conserva tives. To miss roll call is rarely unforgivable. Never theless, a Humphrey present, rather than a Humphrey ab sent, would have kept Nixon from moving in. TlHIS is bound to hurt Hum--- phrey, if only by indicat ing firmly to him that he had better cut down his, out-of-Senate stumping activity. It will.be a hard choice; his sola hope is to make an earlf showing of delegate strength. And it is not easy to get tha-l strength without going out and asking for it. Finally, there are the tw other Democratic "possibil ities" Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and Sen. Stuart Sym ington of Missouri. Neither is an active 'aspirant; each is more likely to be a compro mise convention choice than an early convention choice. Johnson, however, has been perpetually in a stand-up-and-be-counted position. Only Symington has thus far en joyed the luxury of compara tive shelter from the white, hot light that beats all the time upon all the others. Now, even he, as the atmosphere hardens in the Senate cockpit, is being drawn toward the fir ing line, where danger runs a quickening race with glory.
