Gratifying Support
The -reaction, of the patrons of the Ashland
and Medford school districts to the annual budget
problem this year is . exceedingly gratifying to
anyone who has the welfare of our schools at
heart. 1
It is undeniable that the schools take the
biggest chunk of local property taxes, as well
as a substantial portion of state income tax
revenues.
But in Ashland and Medford, unlike situa
tions elsewhere in the state, the voters looked
at the budgets, considered the job the schools
are doing, and came up with an overwhelming
vote of approval. In each district it was about '4
to 1.
TPHE vote, of course, was not particularly heavy
in either district. But it seldom is in school
elections. -
Those voters who stayed away from the polls
must be considered to have given a tacit vote
of approval, although they lacked the active in
terest or energy to vote in person.
But the fact that fewer than 300 voters in the
two districts were sufficientlv unset to vote "nn"
means,, to us, that the districts are doing a highly
cuiiuueimame jou, uotn in eaucauon, ineir urst
responsibility, and in "public relations" that is,
letting people know what they're doing, how
they're doing it, and why.. -
QPERATING schools during a period of rising
costs, of a shortage of really top-flight and
conscientious teachers, -of high taxes at federal,
state and local levels, and amidst a debate on
how well American education is doing, is not
the easiest task in the world.
By every criterion available, the schools in
Jackson county are doing well, with only a few
minor exceptions.
The academic programs generally are at a
high standard, the physical needs of the schools
are being attended to.
as necessary, and the non
extra-curricular activities
people call the "frills" of modern education
are ably handled and well-accepted by a major
ity of the residents. " ' : ;
"' v
IT IS the "frills," incidentally, which would be
1 the first to go if the time ever comes when tax
payers decide that the schools are costing too
much.
, We do not, and most
consider them to be "frills" at all, but adjuncts
to a rounded program of education for an in
creasingly complex world. Such things as band
and orchestra, vocal music, debate and speech,
arts and crafts, sports of all kinds, and the like.
may not be as vital as the so-called "three Rs,"
but. they do have an important role, one which
the majority in Jackson county acknowledges.
In any-organization as large as a first class
school district, there are a few sour apples and
a few deficiencies. It is good to know that it is
recognized that these are the exception, and that
the people of this county approve, generally and
in overwhelming numbers, of the job which is
being done. E.A. ,
Faint Hope in Poland
; "Over this city (Warsaw) palely shines the light of a
new hope the hope of human evolution in the iron
Communist society that already grips almost half
the world."
In this sentence Columnist Joe Alsop, in a
dispatch appearing elsewhere on this page to
day, describes the thought fleeting, vagrant and
wistful as it may be that the world behind the
Iron Curtain eventually will humanize itself.
, He finds the example in Poland, where at
least the mind, and to" some extent action, are
free. And he cautiously examines the faint possi
bility that this potent ferment might spread to
other lands. Ke even reports on the belief that
this is what Khrushchev himself wants.
"THE hope is, we fear, a faint ont.
1 Yet nothing is impossible. A century and
a half ago western Europe was in "the clutch
of the Corsican," the hated Bonaparte, who was
feared throughout the world with the same
passion that the Kremlin is today. v
Bonaparte was the product of the French
Revolution, as surely as Stalin was the product
of the Russian Revolution. The excesses of the
early 1790s revulsed the world, and made France
the bogey then that Russia and China are now.
VET France came back into the community of
1 'civilized nations. It took Waterloo to start
this return, and in other ways the situations are
not comparable.
But it does tend to suggest that, given time
and an inch of freedom, freedom-loving men
can make inroads against the grimmest tyranny.
. Can the example of Poland, teetering on the
balance between freedom and hlnndv
be the spark to set off

NEW HOPE'S PALE LIGHT
Warsaw-This is a city worth
seeing, just for its strange
contrasts. It has the ugliest
I V building in the
world-Stalin's
gift, the Pal-
of Culture. It
has one of the
most enchant-
ing urban
pro spects in
the world, in
the quarter
where the su

of the

Polish
aristocrarcy
have been lovingly rebuilt by
the Polish Communists.
This city, in truth, has shab-
biness and glamor, squalor
and beauty, excitement and
ordinariness. Life here can
be bizaree, or passionately in
teresting, or dully workaday.
But among all these violently
opposed qualities, there is one
that sets Warsaw apart. Over
this city palely shines the light
of a new hope-the hope of
human evolution in the iron
Communist society that al
ready grips almost half the
world.
I
N THIS respect, the outlook
13
distinctly more encour-
aging today than it was a
year ago or two years ago.
When this reporter first came
to Poland in 1957, the fer
ment of Poland's new-won
freedom was so uncontrolled
that the freedom itself seem
ed unlikely to last. This effer
vescence could not go on, one
felt, without imperiling the
regime. Yet theTegime could
not be imperiled without risk
ing another Hungarian trage
dy, on a far more dreadful
scale.
Last year, in contrast.
Wladyslaw Gomulka and his
Communist colleagues had be
gun f.o take the situation in
hand again. And last year,
one wondered whether the
process of getting the situa
tion in hand would not in
itself end the new freedom
of Poland.
Now, however, a very curi
ous but seemingly stable
equilibrium seems to have
been achieved. -There are
limits which no one is allow
ed to transgress, whether' art
ists and intellectuals, or
priests or peasants, or mem
bers of the new class of small
entrepreneurs whose tiny but
remarkably smart shops along
the Marshalkowska are one
of the more curious sights of
Warsaw. Yet these limits that
no one can transgress leave
the life of the individual citi
zen and the larger life of
the mind substantially free.
As the worst enemies of the
regime wiU tell you, in all
of Communist Poland today,
no one is held in jail or camp
for a political offense.
MAYBE this curious equili
brium between the Com
munist party and government
on the one hand and the Pol
ish people on the other would
be considerably less stable in
less favorable economic con
ditions. It must be understood,
moreover, that the economic
conditions are only favorable
by comparison with the bleak
past. '
There is the beginning of
a meat shortage here, because
the planners failed to realize
that the goods-starved Poles
would first spend their money
on clothes to put on their
backs - and then would in-

crease their spending on food
for their bellies. For the long
run, there is also a grave ag
ricultural problem; for small
plot peasant agriculture can
not indefinitely feed Poland's
fast-growing population. Yet
Poland's national product and
income are rising stttl faster
than the population. Real
wages have increased by 20
per cent since 1955. Life is
not good, in short, but life
is much better.
Such "are the elements of
the Polish compromise. As far
as Poland itself is concerned,
one gets the feeling that this
compromise can last for a very
long time or maybe one
should say as long as Wlady
slaw Gomulka lasts. The real
question, indeed, is not what
will happen in Poland, but
what wiU happen , because of
Poland in the Soviet Union
and throughout the Commu
nist bloc.
The Poles have their own
answer to this second, truly
fascinating question. They see
China, going through its ultra
Stalinst agony, as one mag
netic center in the Commu
nist, bloc. They see Poland,
with all its extraordinary and
exciting differences from the
Soviet Union, as another mag
netic center.
"pHINA is vast and Poland
is smaU," .. one Polish
Communist told me. "Yet we
believe that the Soviet people
and the Soviet leaders, above
all Khrushchev, want their
country to develop in the Pol
ish direction. So we believe
that the Polish model win
have great influence in the
end."
A great deal; of course, de
pends on the correctness of
the Polish judgement of Ni-
kita Khrushchev himself,
whom it is fashionable to de
scribe hereabouts as "the num
ber one revisionist." Perhaps
Khrushchev secretly feels
about what is happening in
Poland the way John Calvin
would have felt about dancing
in the streets of Geneva. Per
haps he is just waiting to
pounce. Quite certainly, "any
true Russian Stalinists must
regard Poland at peace as far
more dangerous than Hungary
in full revolt."
The last quotation, from
one of the wisest American
experts on the Soviet Union,
seems to me to sum up the
problem. There is no promise
in Poland of a defeat for the
Communist system. But there
is a possibility, a hope even,
of the kind of - change that
will make many millions upon
millions of human lives more
tolerable and decent. And
even if this change is highly
unlikely to end the world
struggle between the Commu
nist and free societies, no hu
mane person can fail to pray
for it.

President Luis Somoza of
Nicaragua has boasted he is
"no Batista who can be forced
to board a
plane and
leave the
country."
He does, in
deed, hold im
portant cards
in his defiance
of the rebels
who invaded
from neigh-
piui Newsom boring Costa-
Rica and whose numbers have
been reported variously at
from a few score to a few
hundred.
His younger brother, Anas
tasio Somoza Jr., is commander-in-chief
of Nicaraguan
armed forces which number
around 4,000 and are better
armed than most Central
Americans armies.
He has only a tiny air force,
but the rebels have no air
force at all, and apparently no
heavy weapons.

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
At a GOP fund-raising din
ner in Washington the other
night, President Eisenhower
said to the diners:
"I'm not fighting to balance
the budget just to claim that
as an accomplishment. At this
moment, we are engaged in a
highly important battle for a
sound dollar. This is a fight
to promote an expanding
economy and DOMESTIC
prosperity."
. He added:
"This is a fight to make
sure that a dollar earned
TODAY wiU buy for the
housewife TOMORROW an
equal amount of groceries."
WAS speaking, of
course, about inflation,
which feeds on unbalanced
budgets. An "unbalanced"
budget results when a govern
ment spends more than it
takes in and borrows the dif
ference. In the process of bor
rowing the difference, the
money supply is increased.
When the money supply is
increased unduly, the result is
that the value of money is
depreciated. It takes more of
it to BUY THINGS.
Webster defines inflation
thus: . "Disproportionate and
relatively sharp and sudden
increase in the quantity of
money or credit, or both, rela
tive to the amount of ex
change business. INFLATION
ALWAYS PRODUCES A
RISE IN THE PRICE
LEVEL."
I
SUPPOSE most of us have
said to ourselves at one
time or another:
"Well, after all, what's so
wrong about that? Why not
just go on printing MORE
money? Paper is cheap. And
. . . it isn't necessary to use
TOO MUCH paper. Why not
just raise the denominations
of the bUls?"
FT SOUNDS simple.
But it isn't as simple as it
sounds.
Remember Webster's state
ment that INFLATION AL
WAYS PRODUCES A RISE
IN THE PRICE LEVEL.
When that goes on too long,
the wage -price spiral gets
started. When the wage-price
spiral goes on too long, this
happens: '..
Our prices get so high that
foreigners can underseU us.
They can (and do) undersell
us in the markets of the
world, thus reducing or de
stroying our export trade.
Not ony that. When our prices
get too high, foreigners can

mode of living than was avail

Types Vary -
J. he new housing accommo
dations range from small,
easy - to - keep cottages and
apartments in so-called retire
ment villages to low-rate resi
dential hotels in downtown
sections of large cities. For
old persons who can no longer
live independently, or who
prefer to reside with others,
there are modern institutions
that bear more resemblance to
resort establishments than to
olrMashioned homes for the
aged.
The increasing proportion
of old people in the popula
tion has been a prime factor in
spurring interest in housing
for the elderly. There are now
15 million men and women in
the country aged 65 or over.
and the number is expected
to reach 25 million by 198.0.
The group is already big
enough to command political
attention. Congress amended
the National Housing Act
three years ago to encourage
provision of more rental ac
commodations for elderly per
sons and to ease sale terms on
houses suitable for persons of
advanced years. Now private
real estate developers are find
ing that there is money to be
made in meeting the housing
needs of the elderly.
Many Still Active
Persons in the upper age
groups have been migrating
to the South and Southwest in
increasing numbers, but. some
New England and Middle
Western states still boast the
largest proportions of old peo
pie. The comtion assumption
that most retired persons want
to spend their time "sitting in
the sun" is being rapidly dis
carded. People are stopping
work now . at an age when
most of them still want to lead
active lives. The fact seems to
be that they are more -contented
if they stay where
their principal interest lie
and where their friends live.
Elderly persons who can no
longer afford to keep up their
old homes, or who haye lost a
mate, may find their problem
solved by moving into one of
the retirement hotels that are
being opened in the large
cities. Most of them are reno
vated hotels, no longer con
venient for transient visitors
but often ideally located lor
permanent residents who like
to be near public transporta
