Doughty, national counsellor of the fjedf East Foundation died at 88 here Thursday. Release of Fucks The man the U.S. Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Committee has described as having "in fluenced the safetv, of more neonle and accom plished greater damage .1 1 O i Jl tne nistory 01 nations is to oe set iree oy uie enu of the month. He is of course Dr. Klaus Fuchs, the German-born scientist convicted in Great Britain in March, 1950, of having betrayed West ern atomic secrets to Soviet Russia. Fuchs was sentenced to 14 years imprison ment. He receives some five years off for good behavior. Upon release he will be allowed to leave Britain, if he chooses to do so, even to go behind the Iron Curtain. Or he may remain in the coun try if he prefers: However, he was stripped of British citizenship after his conviction. DUSSIA'S atom spies, in the opinion of the Joint Congressional committee saved the Reds 18 months work on the mates are less conservative. . British policy has been much criticized in the United States on grounds of laxity in weeding out subversives and leniency in prosecuting them. Alan Nunn May, linked with Fuchs by tine joint committee as one of the four "deadliest" atom spies, was sentenced in 1946 to 10 years in prison, released in 1952 after serving six years and eight months. By contrast, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, less er figures in the U.S.-British-Canadian network of Russian agents, were executed in 195$ after conviction for wartime espionage. And Congress in the Espionage and Sabotage.. Act of 1954 au thorized capital punishment for peacetime spying. It was traditional British leniency in this regard that so long postponed U.S.-British exchange of atomic energy information. THE Klaus Fuchs story demands a kind of Olympian pity rather than sympathy. A refu gee from Nazi Germany, where his father was a clergyman and a pacifist, Fuchs went to Edin burgh University, where Science degree. But a invaded Poland in September, 1939, Fuchs was tojd by British authorities to pack his bags and await internment as a German enemy alien. In 1941 his case was reviewed and he was released from custody in Canada. Naturalized in 1942, he became top scientist at Britain's Harwell research station and then was sent to the United States to work in atomic installations. ' What made Fuchs a nists? One analyst of espionage, Kurt Singer, cites the traumatic experiences in Germany, Fuch's relations with his father, his political persecution and wartime internment. "Unstable,, persecuted, Unhappy,, shaky, confused, and fluctuating, also afraid for his own future, needed a violent outward allegiance, understand ing, and the love of a real country." ALL this came from old friends, Communists who had not forgotten him. Eventually $500 was thrust on him by a Red agent, but Fuchs was not interested in money so much as in revenge on Nazi Germany and repayment for British slights. Now reports from Wakefield Prison, where Fuchs is awaiting release, Communist East Germany to live with that father, 83-year-old Prof. Emil Fuchs of Leipzig Univer sity, whom he had loved so well and hated so violently.

Kennedy of Massachusetts and Hubert H. Humphrey of -Minnesota for the 1960 Democratic Presi dential nomination. It is sud denly becoming really inter esting, even though the show down is a long way ahead. . ' FOR more than a year Ken nedy had been clearly the front-runner; indeed, the only runner frankly in motion at all. He had been racing where no man pursued. Now, how ever, Humphrey is pursuing for all to see. Formerly, there was one open aspirant, Kennedy; a half-open aspir ant, Humphrey; a one-quarter-open aspirant, Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri; and a declared n o n participant, Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. But now, suddenly, there are two quite open aspirants, Kennedy and Humphrey; one three-quarters-o p n aspirant, Symington; and one still de clared nonaspirant, Johnson. To change the metaphor, this is fundamentally andilti mately a battle of four Sena tors. But at the present the ac tion is largely confined to two, Kennedy and Humphrey. And the second, Humphrey, is now challenging the hereto fore unchallenged lead of the first, Kennedy. . THE way Humphrey is oper ating is an arresting illus tration of a true political pro fessionalism of which this highly articulate Senator, ap- nroce him or not for the top job, is a most authentic prac titioner. He is acting with the cool forethought of a mili tary commander, assisted by two able nolitical pro staff of ficers, James H. Rowe Jr., and Herbert Waters. The unfolding scene is not unlike one in which a divi sional general prepares for a climatic battle. This he will Try and -By BENNETT CERF- A CUSTOMER walked into a Fifth Avenue shoe store, reports Charles McHarry, wearing a cowboy hat, flowing bow tie, vividly dotted shirt, choke-bore pants, and a pair of beautiful, nand-tooJd boots. "Got to get me some real shoes," he told a clerk. "These boots -pinching you?" asked the clerk. "Heck, no!" boomed the customer, "hut Cindy Lou and ah aims to visit Europe and I don't want the blood suckin' cayutes to know ahm from Texas." "How's business ?" inquired -a customer of two partners in a dress manufacturing, house. "Well," one partner an swered cautiously, "we're hav ing our ups and downs." When the customer had left the other partner, silent until now, exploded. "I ought to punch you right in the nose! Holding out on tne, hey? Since when have we had any ups?" C IMS, br Buett Cerf.

WHITE do by a series of important lo cal actions intended to secure his immediate position and line of, supply before he throws the full weight of his division into the. big push. The Humphrey camp, in a word, has selected the Middle West as his indispensable base for future operations and is aggressively consolidating that terrain. He must have and hold this base if he is to be able even to start his big of fensive of next year. Thus, fairly heavy and entirely un masked firing (by way of Humphrey forays into the area to. gather up convention dele gates) is already rising from the Humphrey batteries in the Middle West. It centers upon a salient formed of Minnesota and Wisconsin. ' - ' '..". THE immediate purpose is to seize and secure this ter rain from .the invading probes of the Kennedy forces. There is no intention to attempt soon to drive eastward into Ken nedyterritory. This will come later, once the Middle West is left to be reasonably firmly in hand. Armies committed to great coming actions require first of all a marshalling place upon soil preferably friendly and at worst benevolently neutral. And, again to change the metaphor, the soil of the Mid dle West is important to Humphrey in another sense as well. He has long since decided to present himself as an all-out New Dealer in the old Frank lin D. Roosevelt model. This will of necessity involve an in creasingly liberal stance by the candidate so liberal, in deed, as to freighten many Democrats who are not them selves necessarily very con servative. And, in our politics, an ad vanced liberal from the Mid west is somehow thought to be not so unsettling as one from the East. The grass roots there are felt to be more nearly homespun, as it were, than those in the East. In sum, the Middle West Is vital to Hum phrey as a political base in a practical way! it is vital also in a purely sentimental way. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Stop Me Khrushchev Wins Lenin Peace Pledges Support To By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor Man - of - the - week: Lenin Peace Prize Winner Nikita Khrushchev. The place: Moscow. The quote: Khrushchev pledged all his strength "to the struggle for the tri umph of the peaceable Len inist foreign policy, for the s t rengthening of peace and international friendship." It had been pnu Newsom a busy week even for the normally busy Khrushchev, premier of So viet Russia, No. 1 in the Com munist Party, executioner of the one-man personality cult of Stalin and now the build er of another one-man cult, the cult of Khrushchev. During the week, above and beyond the normal duties of chief of state, he had spent many hours as genial host to visiting East Germans, kept a finger on events at the for eign ministers' conference in Geneva, chatted with other foreign delegations and been the principal speaker at the opening of the U.S.S.R.'s ex hibition of Soviet economic achievements. A j Communications Bull Snake To the Editor That surely was some snake that Old Timer Bert Kissenger wrote about. Ordinarily, the maxi mum length of the bullsnake is hardly half of the 14-foot length he mentions. But, as gargantuan sizes do occur in the human tribe, so may they occur in other species. How ever, the most astonishingly interesting as weU as pleasing part of the story is that no mention was made of the kill ing of the big reptile or. its "bring 'em back alive" cap ture. So it's to presume the big snake was left unharmed to pursue his gastronomic avoca tion of keeping down - the horde of digger squirrels that was and still is in places in the growing of grains which they can render unusable un less checked. The bullsnake is one of. nature's .best in keeping the rodent popula tion in human livable limits. It's been years since we've seen one here-abouts, not one of the furtively harmless grasssnakes that are such a help in keeping down the ever growing horde of enemy insects. We do have, thanks be, a growing family of warty hop-toads that are a big help in the control of insect life. Every evening soon after bed time, my wife hears .one go ing by her window, "plop, plop, plop" on its way to the garden for his nocturnal war on insects. And it's "plop, plop, plop" back again just before getting up time to the toad's cold moist retreat under some plank weJeave there. So please don't kill our natural protectors of the bull snake and grass snake tribe, so completely harmless to we of the human tribe and sup posed to be humane. At least w should be if no more than for our own economic protec tion. ' F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point Pools and Children To the Editor: In regards to your editorial of 6-16-59, con cerning the proposed ordi nance requiring swimming pools to be fenced, I quote in part: ' "What about parental re sponsibility for example? We question whether small chil dren like the girl in Eugene should be allowed to toddle about unwatched in the first place." I can only surmise that the author of this article must be totaly unfamiliar with chil dren of this age,- (2V4 years). Mothers do not let their toddlers wonder around un watched. They watch them as constantly as humanly pos sible. Mothers are constantly listening and watching to pro tect their small ones from any thing harmful, eliminating as many harmful and dangerous obstacles in their environment as she has the power to remove-However, she has no pro tection now if some thought less person builds an un fenced swimming pool next to her, or down the block, a pool by whose very use is made a source of interest and curiosity. Here let me state, I certain ly do not object to swimming pools, only the ones without fences or other satisfactory means of protection. Also, does the author real ize (as mothers of toddlers can aU tell you) that a child of 15 months to 3 or 4 years can escape from notice, wan der next door or down the Now he was writing his thank-you notes to those who had congratulated him upon winning the Lenin Peace Prize. He credited "this high esti mate of my activities" to "in ternational recognition of the services of the Soviet Union in the struggle for the preser vation of peace, for peaceful co-existence and cooperation of all states; and I fully credit it to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union." " To the Western foreign ministers struggling at Geneva for agreement on the future of Germany and European security, aU this could be nothing but one more added frustration. For it was Khrushchev whose threats against free West Berlin had forced the foreign ministers' conference into being in the first place and it was Khrushchev "brinkmanship" which would keep them talking in the hope that a barking dog does not bite. It also was Khrushchev brinkmanship which impeUed British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to send his foreign minister, Selwyn Lloyd, back to Geneva after a week end recess with urgent instruc tions to keep the Geneva talks going. block into an unfenced and then unprotected pool, and drown , in less' time than it takes to write this letter? A moment's distraction of mother's attention by the phone, the door bell, or some thing cooking on the stove and the small inquisitive tod dler darts off-to see the at traction of the pool - then maybe unattended. The mothr er realizing the child is gone, in that few seconds, goes in frantic pursuit, only to arrive too late. Your article mentions the hazards of Bear creek and open irrigation ditches. We all agree these are dangers and we sincerely wish they were protected. However, realizing these dangers, many of us have moved our small children away from these areas, only to have the greater danger, (because of its attractiveness) of the swimming pool put in near us. Surely those who are for tunate enough to have a pri vate pool would not be great ly hurt by the expense of the fencing and after giving the mother some thought, would appreciate the peace of mind such protection would give them. I can not believe, here in Medford, people who have pools are so uncaring and thoughtless that they can close their eyes to the danger they create. No one would like to remember his pool as the one which was a death trap to someone's small child. Can't we profit "by the trag edy in Eugene and fence our pools before it happens here in Medford? Mrs. Maxine Cranston, 2232 Siskiyou, Medford, Ore. Eisenhower Says Americans Should Reject Marx' By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International . Washington -(UPD- President Eisenhower was saying the other day that Americans should reject the theories of Karl Marx. He told a news confer ence that he was g r e a tly dis t u r b e d that the spread in United States, of an idea Lyi c. wn$on which dated back, to Marx' Communist teachings of more than 110 years ago. Specifically, Eisenhower ob jected to Marx' doctrine of the class war, the ultimately violent contest for supremacy between what Marx call ed the proletarians and the bourgeoisie. That .may be translated into labor (prole tarians) and management or capital (bourgeoisie). Eisen hower's reference to Marxian theory came during discussion of steel labor contract nego tiations. Karl Marx and a collabora tor, Friedrich Engels, made their pitch for the class war for a classless society 111 years ago, in 1848. They then wrote "The Communist Mani festo." Their work is the ba sic document of all of the So cialist parties in the world today, including the Commu nist party of the Soviet Union. Marx' Basic Steps . Non-Socialist parties and governments have nibbled at Strengthen Macmillan visited Khrush chev in Moscow this spring and, from all that has leaked out since, came away not so much in awe of this man's physical and mental powers as in fear of the mistakes he might be capable of making. Chief among these fears was that the Russian leader might underestimate Western de Counterpart Money For Congressmen Assured in House By FRANK ELEAZER United Press International Washington - (UPD - For a while there it looked like the members might have to rise above principle, and vote for self-preservation. Rep. H. R. Gross (R-Iowa) had warned that their fall junket money might be imperilled. It's not every day that a member of Congress gets to1 travel free all over the world. Mostly it's only once a year, between sessions, and especially in years when he doesn't have to run for elec tion. Like this year. So naturally when Gross suggested the possibility of a shortage of counterpart funds he didn't have to seek help from the speaker to get the members' attention. Counterpart money is for eign currency put up for our use by nations receiving U.S. aid. One thing it can be used for is travel by U.S. officials, who turn out frequently to be members of Congress. Counterpart funds in the past have proved superior to U.S. dollars in several re spects. The bag has always been fuU. The stuff has been there for the asking. And nobody has been likely to ask how it was spent. Up For Vote. But the annual foreign aid bill was up for a vote, and here was Gross suggesting 1 that one clause in the bill, as . recommended by the Foreign Affairs Committee, was about ' to louse up the deal. Under this clause, it was proposed to let the nations who set up these counterpart caches spend the money them selves, building schools. Gross wasn't the first to point out this possible leak in the conuterpart sock. Rep. Alvin M. Bentley (R-Mich), was already up, offering an amendment to plug up the hole. Bentley's idea was that Congress hadn't voted money for American schools, so why should it build 'em for others? Gross drove the point right home. "If you are going to be building schools and colleges in foreign countries," Gross demanded, "what are you' go ing to do about members of Congress who will be taking off in droves on junkets late this summer and fall?" Now, Gross is probably Congress' leading non-junketer. There are others who never set foot aboard ship or overseas plane. But Gross not only doesn't take junkets various parts of the Marx Engels prescription for a class less society adopting bits and pieces of it. Of the 10 steps toward Socialism or Commu nism proposed by Marx and Engels, however, one notably has been accepted and made grimly effective in even the most capitalist nations, includ ing the United States. Marx and Engels' 10 steps to Utopia were these: -Abolish property rights in land and apply all rents to public purposes. -Impose a heavy progres sive or graduated income tax. .-Abolish all rights of in heritance. -Confiscate property of all emigrants and rebels. -Centralize credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital .and exclusive mo nopoly. -Centralize the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state. Industrial Mines -Extend factories and in struments of production own Card of Thanks Mrs. Herman J. Grler and family wish to express their deepest gratitude for all sympathies and personal kindnesses extended by their many friends during their recent bereavement. Prize; Peace termination to stand fast In West Berlin. For regardless of propa ganda smokescreens, of the heated words and of Soviet promises, it is true that Berlin contains the seeds of war. ... Khrushchev is a shrewd bargainer in the true Commu nist .tradition - there is no compromise but which repre sents a Communist gain. himself. He views dimly those members who do. And es pecialy he thinks they ought to account for money, they spend when they go. Plenty For Both So if some members thought they detected more than mere anxious concern in Gross' inquiry, they were probably right. The other ele ment no doubt was joy, at the vision of harassed bagmen from the various American embassies, meeting incoming planeloads of congressmen with nary a cruzeiro, drach ma, or piastre in hand. Rep. Walter. H. Judd (R- Minn.), was there with an an swer though, and children all over the world probably can blame him for the schools they now may have to at tend. Judd assured members there's plenty of money in the counterpart pot for both schools and congressional junkets. In fact, he said 5 per cent of the counterpart pile, and in some countries as much as 10 per cent, is set aside specifically for such matters as congress ional travel. Though Gross doubted this was enough, Judd said it had been in the past. So the crisis was over. The Bentley amendment was beat en, 77-99 and the issue now goes to the Senate. Mother of Triplets Receives Diploma Redlands, Calif. CPD Lin da Sue Voss, 17, who had triplet boys last year, X&as graduated Thursday from high school. " Now she's aiming for col lege.

"Nobody thought I'd make it through high school, and now I'm ready to go to college. 0 "Usually girls who have even one baby while they're in high school drop out be cause they're too busy to study.

"In a sense," Marx and Engels wrote, "the theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sen tence: Abolition of private property!" That is the Socialist-Communist program which Nikita Khrushchev was saying just a while ago would establish a way of life for the present crop of American grandchildren.
