lnnor-fimp MeHfnrr! resident, who. for vears. had
been reading about Crater lake, but never quite
managed to get up tnere to see it.
One summer, however, out-of-town guests
eame to visit, and the Medford man finally de
cided to go to the lake, to show it to them.
When he arrived, he looked at tnac magnui-
cant scene, whistled, and said :
"My Gosh, it really IS beautiful! Why didn't
someone tell me about this?" . -
PUS is human nature the tendency to read
nTl-iir.fr Tmrvar ahn.it. it in theory.
and yet not really know, or care, about it until
faced with a persona! experience. We. all do it
It happens in many fields. We've seen people
who have read about the Oregon Shakespearean
. a 11 1 1 Y
Festival for years, and who imaiiy. are laiKea
into attending a performance. They are amazed.
"I never knew it was ANYTHING like this," they
exclaim. ' '
And the other day we received a copy of a
letter written by a man who just had had his
first nersonal brush with what has come to be
known as juvenile delinquency.
He was shocked. Me was outraged, ne wamea
constituted authority to do something, immediate
ly. And, because of that normal human trait, his
reaction was not unusual, despite the fact that
he has been reading and hearing about juvenile
delinquency for years. But it apparently had never
touched him personally before.
TTHE first temptation is to ask this entirely sin--
cere and concerned man some questions. Such
as:
Don't you read the papers? Don't you know
that worries over that minority of young people
who are "delinquent" have been mounting for
years? '
Have you attended any meetings of the Ju
venile Court Advisory Council? Have you visited
the detention home? Have you discussed with the
juvenile judge, the juvenile officer or the juvenile
counselors the problems they face? Have you
talked to the police to get their views of the prob
lem? '
Have you, for that matter, talked to any of
the school administrators and teachers to get
their view?
And are you aware of the efforts of the
churches, the schools, the Boy and Girl Scouts
and other, youth activities to combat this evil
which seems to be growing?
atf SECOND thought, it is probably unfair to
direct these questions at one individual with
out also directmp- them to the entire community.
How many of us, indeed, have troubled to
look into, the matter, try to assess its dimensions,
and come to any conclusion as to what we, per
sonally and as individuals, can do about it? Not
many.
Most of 11s are fartoo nrone to let the nolice
and the iuvenile authorities do our worrying: for
us beyond a disapproving "Tsk, tsk" when we
run across a situation which we uepuue. , .
IUVENILE delinquency
u it is an
lems.
Tt will not be eliminated overnifirht bv any
thing that constituted authority can do. No law
or city ordinance is going iu put an enu tu it.
Juvenile delinquency (and once again it
should be pointed out that only "a small minority
of our young people are involved; is a renection
of the condition of the" entire community.
As long as there are some parents who refuse
to accept their responsibilities as parents; as long
as there are unbalanced and maladjusted and un
happy kids ; as long as there is a lack of training
and discipline for the young people needing them
just so long will "delinquency" continue to oe
a social problem.
Anything which tends to improve the moral
tenor of the community is a step forward.
. In any event, we welcome our newiy-awak-ened
friend to the group which worries about
such things. E.A

King Baudouin of the Belgians made a quick

FRANCO-AMERICAN
RELATIONS
In our relations with France
we are entering what may, un
happily, be a rough and diffi
cult time. Im
mediately and
s p e c i f ically,
this is because
Gen. de Gaulle
has raised a
number of
large and
highly contro
versial issues.
But before we
look at them,
it will be useful to under
stand, if we can, the histori
cal situation in which the is
sues have been posed.
Since the war which ended
15 years ago Franco-American
relations have been based on
a premise which was never
only avowed but has always
been assumed both in Paris
and in Washington. The pre
mise has been , that France,
though it is counted among
the victors, was in fact defeat
ed, and that her colonial em
pire is in the process of disso
lution, and that she is no
longer a first class power. The
chronic instability of the post
war governments, in France,
the budgetary and monetary
disorders, supported this view.
Our government acquired a
habit of not consulting France
regularly and genuinely, and
indeed of treating her with
less intimacy and confidence
not only than Great Britain
but even Western Germany.
Un two recent occasions
which might have led to a war
involving France the landing
in Lebanon and the affair at
Quemoy there was no full
consultation with Paris.
The advent to power of
Gen. de Gaulle was bound to
mean, as it has meant, that
France would not accept the
lower position which she has
occupied. She has been re
garded not only as not so
great a power as the U.S.S.R.
and the U.S.A., but not even
as being in the second rank
with Great Britain or even
with Adenauer's Germany. We
a " f i xt a. n
must never icrgei xnai . jren.
de Gaulle, to his everlasting
honor, is the Frenchman who
never surrendered and who
never accepted defeat, and it
is a kind of historic justice
that he should be the man
who now insists that France
must not be treated as a de
feated and inferior power.
rl this context we may look
at the issues. They were
raised diplomatically last sum
mer and then in a note ad
dressed "to President Eisen
hower and Prime Minister
Macmillan on Sept. 24, 1958.
This note has never been pub
lished. But it is said to set up
three French objectives.
One is that NATO, which is
now a regional pact, shall be
come a global alliance in
which France, Britain, and
America have the same policy
and the same strategy in Eu
rope, in Africa, and in Asia.
The second is that these
three powers shall control col
lectively the use of nuclear
weapons anywhere in the
world-in the Far East quite
as much as in Europe.
The third is that France
shall have access to our nu
clear secrets. This would mean
that we undertook to enable
France to become a nuclear
power without the long and
enormously expensive experi
mentation which Great Britain
has gone through. The basic
French argument here is that
in the world today a first
class power is by definition
one with nuclear weapons,
and that France must be treat
ed in fact, not merely in form,
as a first class power.
rr is not' quite clear to me
whether these "objectives"
should also be called "de
mands." But there is no doubt
at all that the French govern
Walter

ment is serious, and this will
entail serious discussion and
negotiation. The French gov
ernment is backing up its pol
icy by drawing away from the
integration of military forces
under Gen. Norstad and the
NATO treaty organization
There is no question of French
allegiance to the Atlantic pact
as a military alliance. But it
is not improbable that Gen. de
Gaulle has a poor opinion,
both politically and militarily,
of the NATO establishment
with its headquarters near
Paris. Thus, it is likely that
the existing NATO establish
ment would have to pay for a
failure to satisfy Gen. de
Gaulle.
Can we satisfy" him? We
must put the question this
way because in fact only the
United States could -. satisfy
him. It is obvious that we can
not satisfy him entirely.' This
Congress surely will not
amend the law about com
municating nuclear secrets
Nor is it possible for the Presi
dent to make an unqualified
commitment that we will in
all circumstances support
France in Algeria. There is
today every disposition to sup
port Gen,, de Gaulle in Al
geria. But no one can say in
advance what we shall do if
Gen. de Gaulle is overpower
ed by the extremists.
IIHERE we can do some-
thing useful and import
ant is to come to a solemn un
derstanding with France, and
of course with Great Britain
also, about the use of nuclear
weapons anywhere in the
world. Such an understanding
would have to have as its cor
ollary a much higher degree
of consultation about global
policy than exists today.
To bring this about there
should be an understanding
carefully negotiated by the
Secretary of State, who is
especially well qualified to do
that. This understanding
might well be ratified by a
personal meeting between the
President and Gen. de Gaulle.
It would be well worth a spe
cial trip to Paris;

Politics:
Senator Mansfield of Mon
tana (who is assuming increas
ing stature in the Democratic
party) advises against count
ing Adlai Stevenson and Lyn
don Johnson out of the race
for the Democratic nomina
tion for President.
WATCH it.
If the cat should jump
toward Stevenson or Johnson,
it would mean that thoughtful
Democrats are coming around
to the belief that ultra-"liber-alism"-especially
in the sense
of being ultra-liberal with the
taxpayers' money isn't the
string to harp on.
It would indicate their
judgment that the public is
turning away from the doc
trine that we can spend our
selves rich, that we can lift
ourselves by our own boot
straps and that all that is
needed to create a perfect
world is to pass a law.
SENATOR Mansfield has an
interesting background.
At the age of 14, in World
War I, he enlisted in the U.S.
Navy. He subsequently enlist
ed in the U.S. Army. Still
later, he enlisted in the U.S.
Marines.
He worked as a miner and
a mining engineer in Butte
from 1922 to 1930. He attend
ed Montana School of Mines
and Montana State University
and received B.A. and MA
degrees from the later in 1933
and 1934. He was professor

PEST-FREE TREES
Some might say that this is
a case of "the less said the
better," but we don't, think
so. We think we've good rea
son to crow a bit about how
people of the Eugene area
have respected the city's new
downtown tree plantings. We
don't think we'll be giving
any of them malicious ideas
when we comment that other
Oregon cities, Portland and
Medford, to mention only two,
have had less success with
similar downtown decora
tions.
True, people did pluck
sprays of heather out of our
planters when they were first
set out in the business dis
trict. And, later the city parks
bureau had to replace gravel
toppings in the planters with
said because too many pass-
ersby were xidly grabbing
handsful of rocks to toss hith
er and yon as they strolled
along. Some smokers are still
using the "big concrete tree
tubs as butt-cans; too. But, to
our knowledge, not a single
one of our trees has been van
dalized, and the new petunia
plantings at the base of the
trees seem to be molested less
by flower snatchers than were
the heathers.
Someday, no doubt, a drunk
or a disgruntled kid will do
damage to one of our attrac
tive little street trees. It'U be
a sad event when that hap
pens, but our experience has
already indicated that it'll be
an unusual one. This fact, per

There is another shark

a few weeks ago.
A veteran of 30 years of
lifeguard duty, Captain
Charles Hardy, says it is the
first such incident in San
Diego area waters in his ca
reer. Marine authorities say
sharks of the kind that attack
human beings have apparent
ly been moving into Califor
nia coastal waters in increas
ing numbers. They explain
that this must be due to
warming trends in ocean ar
eas, since warmer water at
tracts more fish and more
sharks.
The northward movement
of sardines, tuna and even
abalone confirms this trend.
If the trend continues, it Willi
change the recreational pic

will invite more swimmers

Fogarty Creek still picks its
fickle way through the sand
to the sea. But the beauty is
overshadowed by banana

newspapers - the spoor of hu
man beings on the trail of a
good time.
The high tide heals the
wounds of the weekend as far
as it extends up the sands,
but the debris from that point
to the road waits for the main

Fogarty Creek Park, of
course, is no better or worse
than countless other public
places where people gather
for recreational purposes on
summer weekends. Like most
of the rest, it has signs urging
the public to put debris in gar
bage cans. The public obeys
or disobeys as their con
sciences and expediency of
the moment permit.
An article in a national
magazine recently spoke up
in defense of litter in public
places. The author rhapso
dized on the blinking lights of
beer cans along the highways
as they are caught in the glare
of headlights as symbols of
our opulence. We have so
much we can afford to throw
it away. The maharajahs of
old displayed their wealth in
the size of their harems. The
old nabobs of industry lit
their cigars with hundred-dollar
bills at Delmonicos and the
affluent-multitudes now strew

dy tinsel of our new store

keep public places looking
neat. Even if we were to agree
with the social theorist about
litter as a sign of wealth, this
is no year to begin putting the
theory into practice.
Centennial officials esti

8,000,000 visitors this sum

If we are to add their litter
to our own we will be del

summer is over.
In self defense, if for no oth

good example of public tidi

people.
The present strife arisev
from a legally recognized
Communist attempt to ta
over selection of teache for
private schools, most of whicf
are religious in character.
Although the call for reigfe
ance said it should bf n(g&

mounting.
The Kerala administration
has said it soon may cnTll ojfe
the central government fd
help. If so, it win be a bittaO
pill for Nehru who makes no
secret of his hatred for com-"
munism at home nor his dis
like for the Kerala regime.
But the New Delhi "states-'
man" charted his course when "
it said editoriaUy: "The jm
munists came to power
through the ballot box. They
will have to be dismissed the
same way."
munism is truly one of Amer
ica s most serious problems
today. The citizen can do
much to fight communism.
"First of all, he should in
form himself about the true
meaning of communism. He
must realize that communism
is an evil, intent on enslav
ing the world. It is dictatorial
in nature and seeks to de
stroy individual liberties."
Hoover had special warn- .
ing, evidently directed at
those intellectuals who be
lieve they see something '
good in communism and end
up swallowing the whole par
ty line, including the hook.
It was this:
"Never can we compromjge
with communism. To regard
communism as a 'temporary
good or a 'new way to solve
problems' is to invite dis
ter. The citizens must be con
stantly alert. . The Commu
nists operate under many
guises and fronts. They con-'
stantly. are seeking to de
ceive and hoodwink the un-'
suspecting. At all times they
are endeavoring to infiltrate
labor - organizations, basic
.industries, civic, religious,
fraternal and social groups.
Their purpose is to . . . cap
ture positions which control
organizations."
Rules of Combat
More specifically, Hoover
said any citizen can combat
communism by following
some simple paste-in-your-hat
rules;
-Report to the FBI all in
formation about espionage,
sabotage or subversive activi
ties. ..
-Alert yourself; learn the
true nature and tactics of
communism. .
-Make civic programs for
social improvement your
business.
-Exercise your right to
vote; elect representatives of
integrity.
-Respect human dignity;
communism and individual
rights cannot exist.
-Inform yourself; know
your country, its history, tra
ditions and heritage.
-Combat public apathy to
ward communism; indiffer
ence can be fatal when na
tional survival is at stake.
Attack bigotry and preju
dice wherever they appear:
justice for all is the bulwark
of democracy.
"What is needed," Hoover
said, "are citizens ready to do
their share for America."
