The Slow-Melting Pot
'America is a great melting pot. Every school
boy is taught this early in life.
It is less-well known that so is Oregon.
This was drawn to our attention the other day
in a press release issued by the Oregon Centen
nial Commission, telling of the organization of an
"ethnic advisory committee" which will counsel
on the activities of various nationality groups.
With very few exceptions, ethnic groups in
Oregon have blended into the general populace
with very little to set them apart.
OUT THE committee will have. representatives
of these groups:
' German, Baltic, Finnish, Indian, Irish, Polish,
Chinese, Negro, Yugoslavian, Greek, Italian, Lebanese-Syrian,
Japanese, and Basque.
Except in cases where color of skin or other
characteristics tend to set them apart, as in the
case of the Negro, Indian, and Oriental popula
tions, most of the representatives of these diverse
groups could walk the streets of any city in the
state, and be unrecognizable as anything but
ordinary Americans: Occasionally a name will
give a hint of national origin, but even names
which were once "foreign-sounding," often these
days are good, old American names.
THE DAY is not yet here when prejudices based
solely on ethnic or racial origin have disap
peared. But it is coming, though slowly.
Ancient national rivalries sometimes are at
the roots ,of prejudice. Sometimes it is economic
fears or population pressures, or other reasons,
such as lack of educational opportunities.
But human experience over the centuries has
shown that people are people some good, some
bad, some smart, some dumb no matter what
their color, nor where their great-grandfathers
were bom.
And this fact is, though slowly, being recog
nized for the fact it is. E. A. -
State of Mind
The "State of Jefferson" otherwise classi
fied as "a state of mind"
Klamath Falls the other day, and Publisher Frank
Jenkins, who doubles as a columnist for several
southern Oregon newspapers including the Mail
Tribune, was named its "governor."
The mythical state has been kicking around
for. a long time. It was back in the .1930s that
there was a lot of aritation. with toneue firmly
in cheek, for the secession of southern Oregon
and northern California counties, ana tne iorma-
tion of the new state
The idea was to publicize the area (which it
did), in part for the need for good roads.
DUT WE discover that the idea of a separate
. state in this area is far older than that.
Lancaster Pollard, eminent Oregon historian,
writing in the Oregonian, recounts of there was
sentiment for a "Jackson Territory," and "State
of Jackson," both before and after the state con
stitutional convention of 1857.
As early as 1853, Pollard writes, a resolution
was entered in the territorial legislature provid
ing that:
"Our delegate in Congress be and hereby is re
quested to use his best endeavors, and to act in concert
with the senators of California, to procure the passage
of a law creating and organizing a new territory to be
known by the name of Jackson Territory."
"Nothing came of that," Pollard reported.
.......
A GITATION continued, however, until the
Civil War put an end to it. It is also interesting
to note that sentiment in the area was for the
formation of a "slave" state, with sentimental
and economic roots in the old South.
The pro-slave state sentiment was also preva
lent in northern California.
It is possible that the recurrent proposals for
a new state in this area actually stem from these
early-day attempts the latter only partly serious,
the original one apparently dead serious.
AS FOR this newest "state" proposal, it is a
"nebulous affair, designed apparently as a
rallying-point for those who oppose what are
feared as . encroachments on independence in
thought and action of "big government," whether
it be at the state or national level. t
The Klamath Falls Herald and News ex
pounds on it thus:
" The State of Jefferson is . . .a State of Mind,
and can be, accordingly, either a howling failure writ
ten off as a civic gag, or a shining example of freedom
and independence. . . . There's ho limit to where we
can go. Not as long as we stick to the principles on
which the state was founded-simply independence in
all its beneficial forms. At least major portions of the
nation outside the State of Jefferson have fallen prey
- to the savage encroachments of organized laziness. The
Wool of big government largesse has been pulled over
their eyes and they can no longer see the shining sym
bol of independence. ..."
These are fine, ringing words.
DUT WHAT do they mean?
If we read them correctly, they translate
into something like "You leave me alone and I'll
leave you alone, and spit in your eye to boot."
There is another word beside independence
in the successful operation of society. It is "inter
dependence." .
v It had its origin in the Biblical question, "Am
I my brother's keeper?" And it is. enshrined in
the national lore as "E Pluribus Unum" Out of
Many, One. . .
Go your ways, good people of the State of
Jefferson. We choose to exert our independence
by acknowledging that No Man Is an Island
nor is a state, even a state of mind. E. A.

President's chief interest now
is to avoid that kind of divi
sion, first in the Democratic
convention and then in the
Presidential election.
A conversation with Mr.
Truman in his Washington
home away from home, the
Mayflower Hotel, finds this
energetic private citizen of In
dependence, Mo., infinitely
more optimistic about, his par-4
ty's future than he was in
1952 or in 1956.-
He is undoubtedly fully
convinced, not just for the
record but in his bones, that
the Democrats are going to
regain the White House in
'60, and certainly so if they
remain reasonably united.
ACCORDINGLY, he has set
as one of his main tasks
an accommodation of the civil
rights issue that will rest upon
the compromise plank adopt
ed by the' 1956 convention.
Mr. Truman does not want the
party to go significantly be
yond that plank in 1960. He
knows, of course, that some
extreme Democratic liberals
(this description being this cor
respondent's and not neces
sarily Mr. Truman's) are de
termined to go far beyond.
These," indeed, would like to
drive even the moderate
Southerners from the conven
tion. The former President, in
short, is the kind of working
liberal who believes that slow
progress, even if imperfect
progress, is better than shout
ing demands for the impos
sible. It is easily possible to draw
the impression that Mr. Tru
man is not enchanted with any
of the liberal extremists. And
he hopes this kind of liberal
will not dominate the conven
tion's platform committee. Ac
tually, Mr. Truman himself
expects to have an important
hand in that committee, as
he did in the 1956 compromise.
If he himself is not a member,
he will have well-briefed
friends there. ' '
Menace
warm .feelings for Truman in
his latter years in the White
House, greeted him like an
old and dear friend. They re:
spectfully sought his opinions.
Gives Reminder
He gave 'em, of course.
Nobody will ever stop Tru
man from that. But it was
mostly pretty serious, solemn
stuff, and most of it sounded
ominously statesmanlike.
He did remind the senators,
with a grin, that he was the
only one of 175 .million
Americans not precluded by
the Constitution 's 22hd
Amendment from seeking a
third term in the White
House. - - "- -
Truman-like, he neglected
to say he won't try to avail
himself of his specialconstitu
tional privilege. And there are
some, of course, who wouldn't
put this , beyond him. -.
. This mild display of the old
Truman form heartened his
supporters considerably. It
was a few minutes later,
though, that they got a real
assurance that passage of a
few years hasn't really

one for 1960. He does not, of
course, want the party to run
away from the issue to please
the South.But he does not see
the point of unnecessary prov
cation of the Southerners. And
he is aware that more import
ant than any platform, and
almost as important as the
text of any civil rights law,
is the kind of administration
to be -had of civil rights laws
already enacted and to be en
acted. What Mr. Truman wants, in
sum, is for the Demorcrats to
draw together on the many
issues on which at bottom
they are united and not to
overinf late the one issue on
which they really are apart.
He thinks the party should
run against the GOP next year

"gut" issues-public power,

all the time. But he knows
that for the Democrats to
make trouble for the Repub
licans abroad will only make
trouble for the country, too.
Harry S. Truman is a far
bigger man, casts a far taller
shadow, now as always, than
most of his critics have ever
realized.
As to who should be the
Democratic Presidential nomi
nee? Mr. Truman is not com
mitted. He is, however, quite
interested in Sen. Stuart Sym
ington for a variety of reasons,
not least of which is the plain
fact that Symington is, after
all, a fellow Missourian. But
the Truman policy here bas
ically is to lie low and most
of all to keep himself sympa
thetically open to every party
leader who might wish to talk
to him about either candidates
or issues.
He sees his role, in the end,
as that of party elder, party
moderator, and party umpire
to draw the heat from every
available party feud.

Selwyn Lloyd and French
Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville met in
Paris in a pre-conference ses
sion designed to erase their
differences.
No Alternate Proposal
The result was a vaguely
described "package plan" to
be presented to the Commu
nists, wrapping up as a whole
the questions of Berlin, Ger
man reunification and Euro
pean security.
Each one of these has de
fied solution singly.
Yet we now propose to set
tle them together.
Further, it has been ad
mitted that forits "package
plan" the West has no alter
native proposal. s
Yet, from the Western posi
tion it is difficult to see how
there could be much room for
compromise. .
The Russians have de
manded the Western Allies
remove their 10,000-man oc
cupation force from West
Berlin or face the possibility
of war. They said that by May
27, or on a date soon after
that, they will turn over to
their East German satellite
land and air controls to West
Berlins And they have de
manded 'agreement on some
kind of plan for Germany as
a whole, on .the threat that, in
the event of failure, they will
conclude on their own a sep
arate treaty with East Ger
many. . ...
No Agreement Necessary
The Western Allied posi
tion now is that we will not
be driven from West Berlin
by threats.
The United States, France
and West Germany believe
that no new agreement is
necessary on West Berlin
where Western troops now
are Stationed both as a result
of post World War II agrees
ment and by request of the
West Germans themselves. '
The British, with the same
end in view, would be willing
to negotiate on Berlin if it
would encourage a larger
agreement.

Tribute to Mr. Bevis
To the Editor: The many
friends of Vincent Bevis will
carry his memory in their
hearts and minds as a visible
footstep he left on this world,
not to be erased by the many
storms of life. The . children
his love and thoughtfulness
touched through the years in
this community will be his
living memorial.
To fulfill the immediate
needs of the children he knew
who came to school with no
breakfast, no lunch, and in
adequate clothing, was always
his top assignment for him
self. He went on feeling re
sponsible for their health by
doing what was possible to
see that they procured glasses,
dental work, or doctor's care
when needed. It would be im
possible to enumerate the
many other deeds of care and
concern for children that he
took time to do. His prin
cipal's position provided daily
opportunities for him to ex
press his compassion for chil
dren. .
Mr. Bevis could never do
enough in cooperating with
PTA and other community
groups working for the wel
fare of children. There are
few volunteers to fill Vincent
Bevis' footsteps and accom
plish the goals he set for him
self. -
As a visible monument for
those who did not have the
opportunity to ' p e r s o n ally
know Vincent Bevis, we, and
we are sure many others,
would like to see Medford
name one of their new schools
in his honor and memory.

BRITAIN'S RECOVERY
London - Britain today pre
sents a picture of vigorous
recovery, which contrasts re-
f'mm marknhlv with
the confusion
and defeatism
that prevailed
for so long
after the Suez
disaster.'
In the main,
this British re
covery is eco
nomic, at least
4oiph Aisop as yet. its in
dices are rising hard currency
reserves, declining unemploy
ment, - a stable - price - index,
exports that compete success
fully even with West Ger
many's, and a living standard
that begins to compare even
with the. standard in the
United States. And this Brit
ish recovery is important
news,, for two quite different
reasons.
On the one hand, very few
people . realize, even ' today,
how near Britain came after
Suez to actual public bank
ruptcy. There were moments
when the run on sterling and
the' drop in the reserves
seemed quite likely to leave
the British treasury powerless
to meet its obligations. The
cards inherited by Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan were
about as poor as they could
be. But the Prime Minister
and his quietly effective
Chancellor -of the Exchequer,
Derick Heathcoat Amory,
have played their bad cards
with great coolness, verve and
success. Thus Britain's recov
ery is noteworthy simply as
an important feat of political
economic leadership.
AN THE other hand, how-
ever, It is also noteworthy
for another much more funda
mental reason. One has to
keep one's fingers crossed,
1 A. XI . . . . .
dui me present British re
covery looks very much more
solid and enduring than the
other postwar recoveries. In
those earlier cases, the flush
of seeming prosperity always
turned into the fever of a cur
rency crisis. i -
Except for 1953, in fact,
uritain nas had a currency
crisis in every odd-numbered
year from 1949 onwards.
In 1959, in contrast,' confi
dence in the currency is high.
More important still, almost
all the costly, overstraining
postwar tasks, in industry,
have been completed and paid
for. With these domestic tasks
out of the way, the desperate
ly precarious period of hand-to-mouth
planning would seem
to be over. This was the be
lief that was implied by the
budget recently presented by
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Heathcoat Amory, with its enterprise-stimulating
tax re
liefs.
All this does not mean, of
course, that Britain is now in
vulnerable" to the shocks of
economic fortune. In the first
place, as one high official has
ruefully remarked, "In the
country, it's politically dis
astrous to have more than
500,000 unemployed, and it's
economically disastrous to
have less than 250,000." .

voters fear unemployment

-Many Western diplomats
already are predicting freely
that the Russians will reject

so greatly that the Tory party
suffered heavily when the
rate of unemployment rose to
2.8 per cent-much less than
half the maximum rate of U.S.
unemployment in the recent
depression. Yet if the rate of
unemployment drops much
below 1.8 per cent, a job
squeeze and inflation tend to
set in immediately. The mar
gin is painfully narrow, and
any British government will
always find it painfully diffi
cult to avoid the two extremes.
In the second place, Britain
remains particularly vulnear
able because of her contin
uing dependence on profits
from old investments in raw
material sources in ex-colonial
areas like the Middle East.
which are now in full nation
alist ferment. The oil invest
ments, bringing in about $1,
000,000,000 dollars a year, are
the largest single item. If all
profits from such investments
in all politicaly insecure areas
are lumped together, that total
income now runs close, to $1.5
billion a year. This is about
14 per cent of Britain's total
earnings overseas.
That is an enormous per
centage in the politicaly in
secure category. It means, for
instance, that if the Kremlin's
agents can ever get a grip
on Middle Eastern oil, they
can use their oil-control as a
powerful instrument of political-economic
blackmail in
London. The passivity and di
vision of council in London,
after the terrible defeat of
the revolution in Iraq, were
the main causes of the sense
of impending defeat that was
so strong here only a little
more than a year ago.

no less likely, it now seems
likely that these losses will
