This is the crux of the matter, we maintain. Boarding houses were (and, we presume, are) good or bad because of the personality of the indi viduals running them, and of their clientele. "YUR early - day boarding house ; experiences . were varied, and we met our share of admir able individuals. But we find it difficult to be nos talgic about boarding house life. We recall the little white-haired woman with the Scandinavian name who boarded a dozen people in a big gray house on the Franklin street hill in Astoria. Her meals were sumptuous. She was a' gentle but imperious moderator to her boarders mostly young men in the lower eche lons of business executivehood. (The price was right in those days $27.50 per month for room plus breakfast and dinner six days a week.) I7E ALSO recall three or four "rooming V houses," distinct from boarding houses in that the patrons "ate out." The only other true boarding house we remember well was in Modes to, Calif., where the patrons varied from 'heavy equipment operators to bank tellers. Our recollection of this establishment is va guer than of the Astoria house, even though of more recent date, which inclines one to believe that the personalities involved were less vivid. And the "rooming houses" fade in memory because of the lack of human association. It is difficult even to recall the sizes and shapes of the rooms. TTHE overriding memory of boarding house (and 1 rooming house,' too) life is of. loneliness. About the only thing one had in common with the other boarders was a common humanity, and the accident of proximity. Sometimes the barriers were broken with a card game, Or a tale-swapping session. ':. But. in the essentials of life, one was alone. One's hopes and fears, one's sorrows and ambi tions and desires, were held within, and were not for the pleasant but basically unsympathetic com pany. It is a lonely time, those first years away from home, getting started in a business or trade; with few acquaintances and fewer friends. THIS is why we think of boarding houses with a dim sort of affection, and with some wry amusement but without nostalgia. Even an Army barracks in bleak northern Texas is a place with more real comradeship and friendliness, for there is more in common among men undergoing common experiences. And, in the first tiny, newly-wed, apartment there, was more life arid affection than in all the boarding houses put together; There was sorrow and heartbreak, too. , But the loneliness, the aching loneliness amid many people of the boardiner house was gone forever. E.A. Diminishing Returns The economists have a phrase "point of diminishing returns" which means, roughly, the time in any endeavor where a unit of energy or material put in no longer results in an equal or greater return. A farmer reaches this point when he exceeds the optimum use of fertilizer on a field, and. the resulting increase in the crop doesn't equal his time and cost in spreading added amounts of fertilizer. : - Manufacturers of hula hoops reached it just before they had so glutted the market with the toys that virtually every child had one, and no one wanted to buy any more. V THE magazine Petroleum Week sees the day coming ivhen the increasing number of cars will create a point of diminishing returns in the sale of gasoline. " , A paradox? Not exactly. It explains: "A number of companies have found that the bump-er-to-bumper traffic in some areas has become so frus trating that . . . more and more, motorists are reluctant to drive their cars during rush hours or in clogged Sunday traffic, and thereby are cutting down on gaso line sales." , And it adds: "... Although city planners are stUl widening the V network of highways, many have found that efforts to alleviate the commuter problem by building more x roads become self-defeating. Better roads only invite . more commuters to drive their own cars Into town," WHERE will it end? V'" ; ' . No one is sure, although some cities may, perforce, change themselves into monstrous park ing lots, with shopping centers in between. . ; (If you've flown over a big city at mid-day recently, and looked down on all the parked cars, m every nook and crannny, and on many roof tops, they're beginning to look that -way already.) The other possibility, one now under active consideration, is to revive mass transportation from outlvinsr areas to downtown suctions n means of transportation -i-i j i - i ii places ana aeaa in otners. Suggestions run all the way from clear-lanes for buses to fast-moving monorails, but no fool proof answer has yet been found. Until it is, congestion will be with us. E.A. the old-fashioned kind survives. of one such establish which is sick in most Dennis the SHHH' I'M PUM' HIDE 'N SEEK WITH DADDY i' Matter of Fact j- ON THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST London Imagine the Am erican Foreign Service being so organized that every key officer in ev ery legation and consulate in all the Ar ab lands, for instance, could speak fair Ar abic. (In prac- tice, almost none of them, either in the A 1- 1 3 Joseph Alsop rap laiiua ot any other uncommitted coun try, for that mater, can rise much higher than ordering a meal in a restaurant.) Imagine the United States mobilizing for the struggle for the world to the point where we could provide huge, well equipped camp-universities to give special training for our potential friends in the un committed countries. (In prac tice, the American fellowship programs for overseas stu dents and leading foreign per sonalities are not only small in scale; they are also con stantly menaced with further cuts by both Congress and the Bureau of the Budget.) - Imagine a foreign aid pro gram so tough-minded yet so flexible that its methods would be tailored to each spe cial situation, serving our in terests in all cases without re gard to political prejudice, pa per work ules, or do-good poppycock. (In this case, the contrast between imagination and practice is really too pain ful to dwell on.) - FOR us in the United States, such things really seem unimaginable. But they are very far indeed from being unimaginable on the Commu nist side of the line that di vides the world. All three sit uations above-described are in fact drawn from an eye-opening study of Communist meth ods in the struggle for the un committed countries by Brit ain's former Minister of De fense, Brig. Antony Head. It is tempting to devote a good many thousand words to the material that1 Brig. Head has now accumulated. One known training school for Af rican Communists, for exam ple, provides facilities in Czechoslovakia for 3,000 men and women drawn from all over Africa. Another training school for South East Asian Communists, situated in Hu nan Province in China, has the incredible but well au thenticated total of 30,000 stu dents drawn from Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaya, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. AGAIN, the program is worked out in such elab orate detail that pro-Communist versions of the most ob scure tribal myths are being peddled in Africa in the orig inal tribal dialects. Yet the broad principles have been es tablished with such ruthless clarity that penetrable coun tries are divided into three classes: Class I, where jolly cooperation "with the bour geois" is desirable, as in Egypt until recently; Class H, where more .open , support for the Communists Is permissi ble, as in Iraq at present; and Class IH, where all support is concentrated behind the local Communists, as in ' Vietnam before the truce there.' But the temptation to tell Brig. Head's remarkable sto ry in still greater detail must be resisted. There are reasons to hope that this exceptional ly intelligent and original minded Englishman will shortly be telling his own sto ry here in the United States, as he has already told it in the House of Commons. As it is very much his story, com posed of data which he has gathered almost single-handed, the job of telling it in full must be left to him. The foregoing facts are bor rowed from Head, simply be cause they art the best avail I - 1 Menace Alsop able proof of the importance of being reasonably earnest about the vast struggle for the world. As this reporter packs for the return journey to Washington, the thing that sticks in his craw like a poi soned chicken bone is the dan ger of our ownjack of earn estness. NIKITA Khrushchev may smile and smile, between gestures with his H-bombs. Andrei- Gromyko may force himself to be relatively po lite. But all the while, these men of the Kremlin and their Communist collaborators in other countries are in deadly earnest, endlessly searching for weak points in the armor of the West, endlessly organiz ing to exploit the West's weaknesses whenever and wherever these appear. Khrushchev and Gromyko and the rest of them are not bored with the Geneva con ference, for example, and they are not complacent about the outcome, either. They are just as intensely interested, they are just as lacking in compla cency, as hungry, hovering hawks. Of course Secretary of State Christian A. Herter and his staff are not bored, either. On the contrary, their vigilance and stoutness at Geneva have been altogether admirable. But judging by the reports from home, the mood in Wash ington is flatulently complac ent; and so it seems to be in most of the Western capitals. Yet if the West is beaten at Berlin, and if the Communists win the uncommitted coun tries, and if other quite imag inable defeats are inflicted on us, lack of earnestness will be the chief cause.

The fore man at the Preacher Long ranch (formerly the old David Birdseye donation claim, and later the home of the famed prospector big Ed Schiefflin) had some upland, oat hay cut down and asked me if I would shock the crop before the dig ger squirrels ate up the grain. Consenting, I used a light pitchfork, the stubble ground was well dried out and hard as a flint rock, when as Eu gene Field, the poet would say, "I was seein' things." One of the biggest bullsnakes ever, fully 14 to 16 feet long". It was a most shocking inci dent too, for this huge rep tile meandered a long time before finding a hole big enough to get under cover.

Washington Report By WILLIAM BIRTHDAY PARTY Washington On the large, green and infernally hot grounds of the British Embas sy here the 33rd birthday of a remark able young woman has just been cele brated, as it was in other lands around the globe. Here, the oc casion was a sprawling garden party, at times as decorous as a small town ladies' tea, at times as brittle as a big-town cocktail hour. The celebrants were a very mixed lot, politicians, of ficials of the United States and other governments, and all sorts of private Washington people who just like to go to a party. Some on hand were them selves or British descent. The forbears of these had also been a mixed lot, in our dif ficulty with Britain in the American Revolution. Some of these forebears had fought for and some against that person age to whom ax Briton now refers with a smile as "the bad George," meaning George HI. And many of the guests were as "British" as O'Kelly, or Cuccio, or Furstenburg, or Oberg. THE one in whose honor the party was being held, Her Brittanic Majesty, Queen Eli zabeth, was of course not pres ent. Her presence, however, was felt, for reasons that were never fully apparent and never could be adequately ex plained. It was a presence felt aUusively, most of aU in the fact that everything . was so "typically British," so casual and even a bit mixed-up, like the guest list. For example, a slight puz zlement as to the choice of date for this affair was felt by one onlooker. "But Queen Elizabeth was born on April 21, was she not?" he asked. "Oh, yes, of course," said a British informant. "But," the questioner went on, "you are celebrating her birthday in June?" "Quite so; by aU means, yes," he replied, completely confident that this had surely cleared it all up. BUT, yague as it all was on the outside, it was quite plain on the inside. This party WUltat White Today & Tomorrow By Walter DEMAGOGUES AT WORK There is a strong probabil ity that after aU the investi gations and the big talk this Congress will fail to do any thing about t'h e regula tion of labor unions. If this hap pens, the rea son will not be the opposition Walter ux xiui-ia auu Lippmann John L. Lew is. The reason wiU be that the Senate, which was set to enact a very useful bill, was stam peded by political dema gogues who want an issue and not a bill. The result is that unless the mischief can be un done in the House, a brilliant oppotunity will have been lost. The gist of the matter is this. In April, after prolonged hearings and study, the Sen ate Committee on Labor , and Public Welfare reported out a bill which the majority of the committee believed would "drive criminals from the la bor movement" and "deal with breaches . of trust and other shady transactions" which are incompatible with a strong and honesUy run la bor movement. The biU was remarkable in that it pro vided powerful remedies and yet had the support of the AFL-CIO. ONE basic principle of the 59 -page Committee bill, usually referred to as the1 Kennedy bill, is that a re form of the abuses disclosed by the McClellan Committee on Racketeering must be founded on comprehensive re porting and disclosure of the financial transactions of the unions. That this is of great practical importance is at tested by the fact that in the section dealing with reporting and disclosure the Kennedy bill is substantially the same as the bill introduced by Sen ator Goldwater on behalf of the Administration. The dif ference between the two bills lies in the penalties imposed for a violation, although both bills caU for criminal penal ties if union officials do not make full and accurate re ports. The Kennedy bill provides S. WHITE without a message had a mes sage all the same, though no body ever mentioned it. Part of this message was that while maybe there had been a "bad George" a little matter of two centuries ago, there was now in Britain a very good Elizabeth. Indeed, there is. The young woman now holding the scep ter holds one that is increas ingly lieht in palpable weight but increasingly heavy in symbolic weight. She is, as the saying goes, quite a person. Those who were wartime resi dents of England will remem ber her as a teen-ager who looked neither especially ro bust nor especially regal. Now, she still does not look markedly either. But she has about her pre cisely that blend of qualities most required by tnis age or. the second Elizabeth. There is a touch of the kindly shyness of her late father, George vi, but a greater touch of the Scottish no-nonsense of her commoner mother. She is, in short, the third of history's great British royal matriarchs. And England has fared well with matriarchs. . FOUR centuries ago the first Elizabeth, daughter of cruel, gusty Henry VIII, made England what England was. A century ago, happily imperi alist Victoria spread far tne England that the first Eliza beth had made, the England of Rudyard Kipling. Now,' in the far slope of the 20th Cen tury, this second Elizabeth, the daughter of a gentle man, has a job that is certainly no easier. . She is presiding over the accelerating liquidation of the empire, over an era in which Kipling's '"recessional" is being played out in sober truth. But she is presiding also over the slow formation of a free but powerful com monwealth to take the place of empire. It is not imperiousness that (is needed now. It is charm !and skill to meet the harsh demands of history, the grace to give up much of the old good in order to preserve all of the old best. This second Elizabeth is the lady who can do that, and is doing that. And this was the rest of the message of a birth day party that had no message at aU. (Copyright, 1959. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) Lippmann criminal penalties for at least six other abuses: the embezzle ment of union funds, tamper ing with or destroying union records, bribing employee rep resentatives, corruption in un ion elections, and in the so- called trusteeships. QUITE evidently, the bill re ported to the Senate is in no sense a soft and timid af fair. Yet it had the support of Mr. George Meany, the President of the AFL-CIO. It is not often that a powerful special interest will be found supporting laws to regulate itself. It is not often that a powerful special interest in vites public disclosure of its intimate and internal affairs. When such an extraordinary thing occurs, one might fairly expect Congress to seize the opportunity to get the agree ment signed, sealed, and rat ified. But this is not what hap pened. On the floor of the Senate, without hearings or study in committee, amend ments were added containing bits and pieces of a so-called BiU of Rights. These rights, as Mr. Meany has pointed out, are all of them legitimate rights and are, in fact, includ ed in most union constitutions and by-laws. But what the amendments would do is to make these rights enforcible in the courts. In Mr. Meany's view, this opens up the pros pect of endless law suits and, therefore, he is now opposing the amended bill, i 1I7HETHER the amendments " are good,' bad, or indif ferent, is not the main point. The bill, before it was amend ed, was the strongest bill that could count upon real support within the trade union world. No doubt, it is not the best conceivable bill. No doubt, -it is not a panacea. But it com pels real reforms and it is the best bill that it is possible to enact. ' It would be a great pity if Congress passed up the chance to enact a good bill in order to give itself the pleasure of try ing to write an even better one. It would be a great pity if the President and those who support him are so insistent that the Kennedy bill be strengthened that they pre vent the very significant la- B",aaMBelBWBasBMBiB2g5 (By M-T Staff mJ Contributors) 0 It must be almost time for the state highway de partment to send its street patching crews into town, one of our more-or-less cyn ical reporters commented the other day, after observ- ing that the city is nearing completion on the job of painting the traffic lanes in town. .. The Jackson county 4-H wa gon train continues to attract considerable attention along its route of travel, as it did here before leaving. There's something about this wagon train travel. The "On To Oregon" , cavalcade now nearing Idaho has been getting rousing receptions ev erywhere it has gone, some times with thousands and thousands of spectators turn ing out to watch them rumble by. It certainly is a far better promotion than anyone would In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS At a big fund-raising dinner in Washington the other night, Vice-President Nixon told his hearers (who had paid $100 a plate for their meal): "To be frank about the whole thing, the Republicans can't win without the sinews of war." TECHNICALLY speaking, he is right. Elections can't be won without campaigns. Campaigns can't be waged without money to finance them. But As of now, the Republican party needs more than cam paign tunas, it needs a CAUSE. A cause in which it believes so fiercely that it is willing to stake its future on the, outcome of a battle for it. Not just POWER. Not just the officers that go with power. . What the Republican party is going to need in 1960 is an issue in which it believes with the kind of faith that wins battles and saves nations. rpWICE in its history, the Re- publican party has had such a cause once in 1860, when its sacred cause was the end of human slavery, and again in 1896, when it waded into battle against Bryan's funny money issue. In neither campaign at the beginning was it believed to have a chance. But that made no difference. It went to bat tle anyway. It went to battle because it believed in its cause. It won both times. It won because it believed in the just ness and the rightness and the wisdom of its 'cause. IlTnat is the issue now? " There is every reason to believe that again as in 1896 the issue is SOUND money, Money that people can have faith in. Money that will buy as much tomorrow as it buys today. To. have that kind of money money that will be good all over the world, money that is stable enough in value to hold our costs and our prices in balance with foreign costs and prices our government must quit spend ing every year more than it takes in and borrowing the difference. If properly dramatized, that is an issue that people can get their teeth into. County Awards Vehicle Contracts The Jackson county court last week awarded contracts to lowest bidders to provide the county road department with one business coupe, one three - quarter ton pickup truck, one lVi ton truck and one two ton truck. Bids were opened by the county court June 10. Crater Lake Motors, Med ford, received the contract for a business coupe at a bid price of $1,806.59 and a two ton truck at a bid price of $2,187.29. DeLeigh Motors, Medford, was awarded the contract for a three-quarter ton pickup at a bid price of $1,646.58. Courtesy Chevrolet received the contract for the IVi ton truck at a net bid price of $2,118.17. Four bids were submitted on each of the vehicles. bor reform that is now possi ble. , It is still conceivable that the labor reforms can be saved if the leadership in Congress and if the President in the White House want to save them. But they must reckon with the demagogues who do not want a bill be cause it would deprive thm of an issue to beat their breasts about, (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

It turned out that, while the dump hgi its ob vious irritations, the general area has nostalgic connota tions for some residents. One of the, officials noted that not far away he and his girl friends of days gone by used to wander up the trail, hand in hand. And another thereupon suggested that ev- eryone get out of the car and inspect the trees for carved initials. -.- j Other things change, too.
