STEAL SUMARAI SWORD Los Angeles -fflPD- A gold plated and gem-encrusted Su- : marai sword used in the coro nation of Emperor Tiosho of Japan has been stolen from the Japanese Art and Cultural Institute. The FBI's Work VTipn trip FpfiPVfll buckles down to do a job, it does a thorough one. This thought came to mind after reading the FBI's renort on Richard Allen Hunt, in which it was announced that Hunt H Bi s Ten most wanted lne document is just and pi vps an intimate who is wanted for the kidnapping of one Oregon police onicer and the shooting oi another. IT STARTS by giving he is wanted : Interstate transportation of stolen motor vehicle ; interstate transportation of stolen property; federal firearms act; unlawful flight to avoid prosecution (all leaerai oiiensesj, ana kidnapping and assault with intent to commit murder (state offenses). It gives a minute physical description, a job history, his prior criminal record, his likes and dislikes in food, drink, sports and recreation. It tells what work he has done, how he has traveled, and many of his habits. ' A LL THIS and more, too the FBI has com- piled since it was called in to the case. Only the resources of a well-financed, well-trained and widespread organization could, have produced such a detailed, document. It is an indication of what the files on the Mack Parker lynch case must be like. It will be recalled that Parker, a Negro, was jailed at Poplarville, Miss., on a rape charge. He was dragged from jail by masked men; beat en, shot and tossed in a river. The FBI was called in on this case, and sent a large number of agents to the area. They con ducted a painstaking and detailed investigation, finally determining that no federal law had been violated, and turned their files on the case over to the governor of the state. , THE CONTENTS of these files, of course, have not been made public, but it is fair to assume that they constitute a record of the case in detail, naming names and giving circumstances. The governor has stated he will turn them over to the next regular grand jury which meets next November. Bv that time, susnects in the v lynch-murder may have ing what they know and believing the FBI had discovered it. . And the passage of six months can dim things beyond recollection in the minds of witnesses. AS IT STANDS, it appears that this delay in "Mississippi will thwart the ends of justice, through the old saying that "justice delayed is justice denied." We wouldn t give a plug nickel tor the chances of a successful prosecution after that lapse of time. And it looks, now ville murderers will remain free. It must be aggravating to the FBI agents to see all their work go nothing at all. E.A. , Please, Not Steaks! Spray cans, those handy little gadgets which spurt out a stream of their contents when a but ton or spout is pressed, are really booming. If we recall correctly, whipped cream was one of the first products to be put up in this form. Now a long list of liquid or semi-liquid pro ducts can be obtained in them from toothpaste to house paint. And the list is growing every day. Soon, we learn from the magazine, Chemical Week, one will be able to buy maple syrup, deter gents, chocolate syrup, baby foods and vitamins in the cans. "OSMETICS, including shaving lather, hair oil and hand lotions, now come this way, and shampoos are coming. One brand of instant coffee now is packaged in a spray can, and other manufacturers are watching with interest. If it is a success, they'll jump in, too, and predict a variety which needs no refrigeration. And others under active consideration include salad dressings, mayonnaise, jam and cheese dips. QNE BRAND-NEW one, introduced only this week, is a spray can that squirts a white foam which, when applied to a charcoal bed in a bar becue burner" and touched with a match, will produce a hot, even flame to ignite the,coals, rapidly and uniformly. All this, we presume, is "progress," although we're just a little inclined to wonder where it's all leading to. Let us all join in the fervent hope that sirloin steak,v lightly charred on the outside and blood rare within, is never packaged in an aerosol can. E.A. - , Irritant The only thing more irritating than the nasty anonymous letter (which goes into the waste basket immediately) is the nasty anonymous tele phone call. What, we wonder, -do the people who make them hope to accomplish? Maybe it puffs up their meager little souls for an hour or so. , But it also : Brands them as cowards for being afraid to give their names; Irritates the recipient of the call to a point where the message, if any, is totally ignored, and Proves the caller's stupidity for thinking that such a tactic can actually influence anyone, other than to make him mad.

How mw box Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not ' exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Later Than We Think To the Editor: When the first settlements were estab lished in the Rogue river val ley, and other parts of south western Oregon, the people were served by a seaport. Freight was brought by mule team from Scottsburg, at the head of tide water on the Umpqua river west of Drain. Some freight was brought from the head of navigation on the Sacramento river. Those were the 'good old days of freight wagons and stage coaches. During the 1880's the Ore gon and California railroad was completed and the 'Gold en Spike' was driven at Ash land. Medford came into be ing as a railroad station at that time. The freight teams were still required to deliver freight from the railroad to outlying settlements. In those days there were passenger trains. I remember coming from the Willamette valley in 1908; the train was in two sections. At West Fork, north of Glendale, we met the north bound train in three sections. The trains passed by using a siding. Those were the days of Dennis McCarty. The days of the passenger train through the Rogue river valley have come to an end. The days of the freight train are numbered. At the present time we can boast of living along the longest railroad switch in the world. The Friendly Southern Pacific will have no further use for this old road when there is no more lumber to haul. Let us give this some serious thought. The federal government is building a harbor to serve all southwestern Oregon at Gold Beach. Let us find a way to build a truck road to this port. Our present terminals are Portland and San Francisco. From a port at Gold Beach we can reach the markets of the world. Let usj not delay; it may be later than we think. Joseph J. Hall, Shady Cove, Ore. Another View To the Editor: Mr. Donald Sweeney in his letter pub lished in your May 26 issue calls some statements made by Mr. Roy L. Laurin "ridicu lous".. I dare anyone to read Paul Blanshard's famous book, "American Freedom and Catholic Power," and still agree with Mr. Sweeney's statements. Mr. Blanshard is probably the foremost author ity on the operations of the Catholic Church which are being carried on in the United Try and By BENNETT CERF- ANEW YORKER, eager to test his luck, flew to Las Vegas arid taxied to a hotel on the "Strip." He handed the driver a $20 bill and said, "I hope you can give me change for this." The driver shot a scornful look at his passenger and explained, "Out here, Broth er, a double-sawbuck IS change." An airline statistician has traced the first recorded air cargo fleet. In 990 A.D. the Caliph of Cairo c rayed fresh, cherries.

I believe that it should be read by every thinking American. If I am not mis taken the author is one of the leaders in "Protestants and Other Americans United . for the Separation of Church and State". For more history of the Catholic Church that will not hide all the facts see Henry H. Halley's "Pocket Bible Handbook", especially con cerning the Popes who are supposed to be the successors to Peter according to Catholic teachings. A contemporary source of information would be E m m e 1 1 McLoughlin's "People's Padre". Any of these books will help a person get a realistic appraisal of the Catholic Church's view of Church and State relationships and on many other subjects as well. I would like to take the op portunity to suggest that .we all return- to the simplicity of New Testament Christianity and these problems will re solve themselves in the light of the scriptures. If you would like further information from this view contact any Church of Christ minister or evan gelist. Dorian F. Woods Star Rt., Box 191 Prospect, Ore. Memorial Day To the Editor: On Memorial Day tomorrow, let us express, with our flag placing and wreath laying exercises, a true gratitude for a peace and our continued freedom earned by the young men who made the supreme sacrifice for that cause, and for the young men who came back minus a part of their health, who gave the best years of their lives, still amongst us, some older, some quite old, but all were young men at the time of going away to war. War is a cruel and demand ing thing, wanting .' only the cream of the nation's man hood. When our national free dom was jeopardized, only the young, the strong, the very best, were equal to the task. But of these fine men who went away, there were besides the dead left on the battle fields, after .World War One, 300,000 who came back disabled, handicapped or di seased. World War II counted disabled in hundreds of thous ands, and the Korean War added a lot more. As a group, these disabled veterans have been self-sacrificing, counting the price they Stop Me East German Leader Tells Views on Berlin Question in Interview with UPI Chief By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor Man - of - the - week: Walter Ernst Karl Ulbricht, 1st secre tary of the East German Communist Party and 1st dep uty premier of the puppet East German regime. The place: East Berlin. The quote: "There is no valid reason for the United States to main tain troops in thousands of Phil Jsewsom West Berlin, miles from their shores. No body thinks of attacking West Berlin, of foisting something on the people of West Berlin that they don't desire and of meddling in West Berlin af fairs." ', There was more from this man who prides himself on his resemblance to Lenin and whose cold thinking processes Auto Workers Reported Closer To Humphrey, Drop Bv LYLE C. WILSON Washington- (UPD -From a counle of sources which have special interest in Michigan politics comes the word that the United Autom o b i 1 e W o r k e rs (UAW) union is warming to to the presi dential candi dacy of Sen. Hubert H. lyc. wuso. Humphrey (D- iviiiiu.;.. If true, that report should be marked down as a prime political fact of life. UAW s head man is Walter P, Reuth er. one of the smartest of the left-wing operators who dom inate the Democratic Party in the North It was Reuther, in the 1956 Democratic national convention, who broke a dead lock and brought about the almost instant nomination of Adlai E. Stevenson. It is no reflection on Reu ther, the UAW or the State of Michigan to report that the U. S. Communist Party keeps an especially keen eye on Michigan politics. The Com mie weekly publication, "The Worker," usually contains a Detroit column which often is quite well informed. This col- are paying as a debt they owed and have paid off to the nation. On Memorial Day it is fit ting and proper that our thoughts not only be with those who were killed in bat tle, but that we remember those who were disabled in freedom's cause, and that we should dedicate ourselves to the principle, for which they exposed themselves so willing ly, and to the principle that disabled combat veterans, shall not have been wounded in vain. Patrick Graham, Commander Dept. of Oregon, DAV Medford. Poll Watcher To the Editor: Boy, do I feel dumb. For quite a few years now, I've been voting regularly, but the recent Phoenix election on consolida tion with Talent, was the first time I have been aware of a "Poll Watcher." Regardless of which side of the fence you were on, or the issue at stake, I'm curious, not only for the past election, but for knowledge in the fu ture. Can someone tell me What is a Poll Watcher? What are his duties at an election? Who authorizes him or is any one or all eligible? Is he allowed to sit at or near the election board table, and how close is he allowed to the voter while he is mark ing his ballot? I've talked to many friends but all are as curious as I and as uninformed. My feeling at first was that it was an insult to the intel ligence of our capable elec tion board - but surely there is a good answer somewhere. ' Mrs. A. A. Zundel, 2548 Starlite lane, Medford. Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from Oregon election laws, ORS 250.430 (2): "The election board shall, if requested, permit one per son authorized by each polit ical party to be at the polling place for the purpose of chal lenging voters, and shall, if requested, permit any candi date, several candidates or a political party, to be present to watch the receiving and counting of the votes. . .Per sons permitted to be present to watch the counting of the votes shall not absent them selves until the polls are closed.' i have been compared to those of a mechanical brain. Interviewed by UPI President His remark came in the mist of an interview with Frank H. Bartholomew, presi dent of United Press Interna tional. In the interview, there came also for the first time a hint the Communists might re ject even an interim agree ment on Western occupation of West Berlin, pending a peace treaty. Here were other key quotes from East Germany's No. 1 Communist: "All ways of access to West Berlin, which lies within the territory of the German Demo cratic Republic and which is itself part of the territory of the GDR, come under the sov ereignty of the GDR which is a sovereign state . . . "Everyone knows that a war for West Berlin, for part of a city, would also drag into it all the other great cities of the world, irrespec tive of on which continents umn recently said that Michi gan's Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Wililams no longer had UAW backing for the 1960 Demo cratic nomination, "if he ever had it." Humphrey or Douglas UAW, according to "The Worker," was leaning to Humphrey or Sen. Paul Doug las (D.-I1L), with Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) favor ed for vice president. This word is likely to give Ken nedy strategists chills and fevers. They are running their boy . for president, no less. Kennedy must have labor backing to win any nomina tion. ' A kindly political writer in Detroit checked on the Hum phrey - Douglas - Kennedy re port and came up with this: At an early spring meet ing of Democratic Midwest ern leaders, a UAW spokes man representing the Wisconsin-Minnesota area said firm ly that Humphrey was the UAW candidate. UAW head quarters in Detroit countered, however, that the internation al union had taken no posi tion on the 1960 nomination, although UAW leaders in Minnesota and Wisconsin might well be for Humphrey. -The kindly political writ er, however, is convinced that the UAW high command ac tually is quietly backing In the Day's News By FRANK In Washington a delegation of what the correspondents describe as "some farmers and some congressmen" made a four-pronged proposal to aid the poultry business. They urged that the Department of Agriculture take these steps: 1. Buy up egg-laying hens to reduce the supply of eggs. 2. Purchase shell eggs for (free) distribution to the needy. 3. Buy broilers for (free) distribution to the school lunch program. 4. Provide export subsidies to promote sale abroad of American hens. LET'S do some supposing. Suppose these proposals had been adopted (fortunately they weren't; the agriculture department turned them down). But ... if they had been adopted . . . here's about what would happen: 1. Poultrymen would start raising all the hens they could to sell on a SUBSIDIZED market. That would UP the poultry supply. 2. Poultrymen would start producing all the eggs they could to sell to the govern ment for' SUBSIDIZED dis tribution to the needy. 3. Poultrymen would start raising all the broilers they could for sale to the govern ment for SUBSIDIZED dis tribution to the school lunches. 4. Poultrymen would start raising all the hens they could for sale abroad under a SUB SIDIZED export distribution program. THE eventual result? The eventual result would be ruin of the poultry busi ness andor impoverishment of the taxpayers depending on which happened first. ALL THIS sounds like a slam at American poultry men. It isn't so intended. Poultrymen are just as good citizens as anybody else. But If such a program were in itiated, the poultrymen would HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH IT just as the wheat grow ers have had to go along with a similar program of subsi dized overproductin which has stuffed the warehouses with a they are. Nobody in the world, certainly no American, either wants or needs to die for West Berlin . . . Mixture of Talk "The major impediments to a peaceful solution of the Ger man question are the atomic armament of West Germany, the rocket bases and the revanchist (revenge) policy of the federal government. This policy is furthered by the presence of foreign troops in West Germany and West Ber lin . . ." Thus Ulbricht's words were a mixture of Communist tough talk and the honeyed words about a "free" Berlin which first came out of Mos cow last Nov. 27 when Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev first announced his ultimatum to the Western Allies to get out of West Berlin. Contained in the words also were the veiled threats once referred to by President Ei senhower as Communist-brand "atomic blackmail." The 65-year-old, Leipzig- Williams Humphrey, although not very actively at this time. A further opinion is that Reuther is not likely soon to go on record; that, more like ly, he will be silent until the Democratic presidential situa tion is clarified considerably. Reasonably enough, Reuther would like to back a winner. Never Committed to Williams -The UAW high command never officially has commit ted itself to Go Williams. Williams' 1960 chances, are becoming increasingly dinu Reuther is not likely to give the governor a hand unless that trend is changed in a big way. -Here's the summary from Detroit of current Williams political strategy: "The Wil liams camp in Michigan has been making some definite moves to disassociate itself in the public mind from Reu ther and the UAW. Some top Democrats here (in Detroit) have been grabbing every out-of-state newsman who stops by, trying to plant the idea that Reuther is not now and will not in the future back Williams for the 1960 nomi nation." Reuther and the UAW might not be big enough to nominate Humphrey, but they might be big enough to stop Kennedy. Kennedy's job how would appear to be to woo Reuther and to woo him good JENKINS vast surplus of wheat that hangs over the markets of the future like a dark thunder cloud. T ETS put it this way: If a similar proposal were made as to newspapers and the newspapers were silly enough to accept it, it would n't be long until America was stacked three feet deep with surplus (subsidized) copies of newspapers. We'd just let our presses run . . . and run and RUN. We wouldn't want to. But we'd HAVE to. Under the circumstances, we couldn't afford not to. . ' In the long run, it would ruin our business. And . . . we love our business. Other wise, we wouldn't be in it. We'd hate to see it ruined. surpluses would eventually ruin us. W HEN will all this silliness end? Not I think Until the voters begin to vote against the subsidy spend ers. . Yreka Man Reports On Washington Trip Yreka -United States con gressmen are aware of the need for increas : funds for U.S. forest timber sales to al low cuts of maximum sus tained yields, according to Michael T. Hennessy, Yreka. Hennessy returned this week from Washington, D.C., where he appeared before the senate committee on interior and insular affairs. He was a member of a four-man dele gation headed by State Sen. Randolph Collier, Yreka. The group presented northern Cal ifornia's cases for, increased timber sale appropriations. Hennessy said "we should know in the next couple of months whether our presenta tion will have any immediate effect," and added that "the long range effect is bound to be good." born Ulbricht has proved him self an able political gymnast, respected even by those with in his own party which dis like him thoroughly, includ ing East German Premier Otto Grotewohl. Ulbricht has been described as a man who asks neither adulation nor affection, only obedience, as a man without intimates, without visible joyi or sorrows. He prides himself on his physical fitness and in a rare moment of impulsiveness has been known to' plunge into the chilly Baltic and outswim younger companions. East Germans may snicker at him as a stuffed marion ette but they fear the Russian divisions at his back and his Moscow-trained security po lice. Ulbricht settled in Mot cow in 1937 and returned to Berlin with the victorious Russians in 1945. He has sur vived both intrigue and vio lence and, especially, he has shown himself an able voice for Moscow. , ' Committee Sweats Over Economies; BookDustersOK'd By FRANK ELEAZER Washington (UPD We can quit worrying about those dirty books in the Library of Congress. Our lawm a k e r s have acted to clean 'em up. You prob ably saw where the li brary, the world's biggest advised Con gress the other Frank Eleazer aay n now is up to 37 million items on its shelves and down to two $3;200-a-year helpers to dust them. . Dr. L. Quincy Mumford, the librarian, said this resulted, in a "sub-minimal" cleaning rate. What he meant was, each book on an average could ex pect to get dusted only once every 66 years. The House Appropriations Committee, after considerable deliberation on this and other problems entailed in Con gress' own $130 million budg et, now has told Dr. Mumford he can hire , two additional cleaners. Cuts Down Spending But ... The librarian believes this should enable him to give each volume the once over lightly as often as once in a decade. Thus the Appropriations Committee, as penurious an outfit as you are likely to find in Washington, has demon strated once again it knows where to draw the line when it comes to cutting down gov ernment spending. The place to draw it turns out now and again to be when Congress' own budget is being considered. However, it wouldn't be right to jump to any conclusions. In approving the House share of the legislative budget, plus congressional items shared jointly by House and Senate, - the committee hat knocked one big spending in crease right in the hea d. No Tree Surgeon Increase Capitol caretakers had pro posed to double their staff of tree surgeons, from one to two. They sought to justify this on the ground many of the 2,500 big trees on the Cap itol Hill are old and ailing, and that somebody better look out for rotting limbs and the like. The committee, reporting the money bill to the House Thursday, obviously spotted this for a case of empire building. It struck out the 100 per cent boost in tree sur geons, and said this will save us $4,000 next year. That wasn't the only place where the lawmakers found and stamped out potential waste. Green Light For Lights The Capitol architect want ed to spend $70,000 for better lights in the underground ga rage where the members park their cars out of the inclement weather, and spend another $25,000 repainting ceiling. No sir, said the committee. Go ahead with the lighting job, it told the architect, and we'll see about the paint job when that's done. There were other savings, like on the members' allow ance for office supplies. This had been budgeted at $1,800 per member. The committee caught this one right afway, pointing out that permanent law authorizes only $1,200 per member and that the House so far this year hasn't passed the kind of resolution it did last year, raising the al lowance by $600. ' Wait till it's passed, the committee said sternly.
