Atomic Technicians Consult The two conferences at Geneva the sub-summit meeting of East-West foreign ministers and the parley of political delegates working on a treaty to ban nuclear tests point up the wisdom of a remark attributed to a former Ambassador to Moscow, George F. Kennan: "There are no ex perts on the Soviet Union; only varying degrees of ignorance." They also give rise to the suspicion that if the West is willing to go to the summit at all as Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Great Brit ain, for one, ardently desires the subject for dis cussion on the heights may not be Berlin at all, but nuclear tests. TIHEREAS the Russian stand on Berlin grew " . progressively intransigent, if that be pos sible, the atomic talks showed a Russian willing ness to dicker. Indeed 18 points of a draft treaty tentatively have been agreed upon, though these do not touch-any of the key questions. And on June 15, Russia accepted an American proposal to call back scientific experts to study detection of high-level tests over 30 kilometers (18 34 miles) above the earth. The earlier con ference of technicians last summer, which led to the political discussions, had made no recommen dations for policing high-level tests. The scientists and technicians will examine "any pertinent data." Presumably that covers findings from the U.S. Project Argus tests made 300 miles up over the South Atlantic last August and September. So far, however, the Russians have resisted having the three-power study team consider data on detecting underground tests de rived from the Project Hardtack tests in Nevada last autumn. These are incorporated in the so called Berkner report made public here' and in Geneva on June' 12 and transmitted by the Rus sian delegation to Moscow. TTHE scientists agreed at Geneva last summer on the feasibility of a control system consisting of a world-wide network of around 180 monitor ing stations, equipped with seismographs, spaced about 600 miles apart in areas subject to earth quakes and about 1,000 miles apart where the problem of differentiating between earthquakes and nuclear explosions would not be likely to arise. Ground and air, inspection also was recommended. Projects Argus and doubts about the effectiveness of this system. But the Berkner report indicates that improved instru ments and the establishment of unmanned posts m addition to the 180 manned posts would bring accuracy back to or near the level originally conceived. . The U.S. study warned, however, that cheat ing on underground explosions was far easier han the international had believed. New "decoupling" (muffling) tech- niques'increase greatly the difficulty of detection. For this reason the Russian reluctance so far to spread on the conference record the new data on underground explosions is discouraging. Semyon Tsarapkm, Geneva on a test ban, is as clearly manipulated by the puppet-strings from Moscow as is Foreign Minister Andre A. Gromyko. But in Tsarapkin's drama the puppet-masters do not seem so dis posed toward a fast curtain. E.R.R. New City Income Taxes Five committees in Ohio and one in Kentucky have recently joined a growing list of municipal- ties imposing their own per cent levy went into Ohio. Proceeds will be pairs and capital improvements. Kesidents ot Zanesville, Ohio, begin Julyl. Other new recruits to the movement are the towns of Deer Park, Franklin, and Whitehall in Ohio and Hopkinsville in Kentucky. In addition, St. Louis, which has had a city income tax off and on since 1948, has just received permission from the Missouri legislature to double its rate to 1 per cent. , SPECIALISTS in municipal finance have long looked with favor on the local income tax as a means of reducing dependence on property levies. The later taxes are slow to adjust to infla tionary pressures, and the more closely a city treasury is bound to them, the more susceptible it is to the revenue-expenditure squeeze. In addi- uon, tne city income tax is cneaper to collect tnan a general sales tax and less likely to hurt local business. , Despite these theoretical advantages, the local income tax has enjoyed great vogue in only two states Ohio and Pennsylvania where all ex cept a handful-of some 670 adoptions have oc curred. Apart from resistance by taxpayers in come levies are probably the least popular of all taxes the major obstacle is the fact that city in come taxes are of doubtful legality in most states. However, six jurisdictions in Kentucky and two in Alabam have avoided any constitutional trap by putting the levy in the form of an "occupation al license tax" under city licensing powers. E.R.R.

Dennis the 'I stipe ws sum&Di Washington Report By WILLIAM BASIC ARGUMENT Washington The argument now going on between Con gress and the President over so - called spending bills is not really over "econ omy" as such. It is not basic ally an argu ment between Democrats and Republi cans. And the Wwhi8' fact that this is a divided government, with a Democratic legislature and a GOP chief executive, Is not the fundamental point, though it does sharpen the struggle. The true heart of the matter, instead, is a dispute which pits Democrat against Demo crat and one set of political tactics against another. The Democratic Congres sional erouD in control thus far is headed by the party's moderate Texan leaders, Sen ator Lyndon B. Johnson and House Speaker Sam Rayburn. But it numbers many others not unduly moderate. Some are conservatives, some lib erals. But the group is not built on ideology: its one truly common factor is that of an association of skillful profes sional Congressional politi cians, most of them veterans. rpHESE professionals believe 1- that the highest necessity of this Democratic Congress is simply to perform to' get housing bills and the like nassed and signed into law, even if these bills must be smaller than they would like. They want the half loaf if the alternative is no bread at all. And in nearly every case, this alternative would be no bread at. all. . For the Democrats simply could not pass any bitterly re sisted measure over a resi dential veto. It takes a two thirds majority and the Demo crats have not got two-thirds and could never raise it. ex cept possibly through occasi onally tricky deals with anti- Administration Republicans. The second and thus-far out numbered Democratic Con gressional group is made up mainly of advanced liberals. It really wants Issues for the future more than the half-loaf kind of action. Its purpose is to force the Democratic lead ership into a whole series of no-compromise positions re sulting in Presidential vetoes. which this faction Itself knows could not be overturned. npHE theory is that there A should be no negotiation or bargaining with the President. The theory is that the duty of a Democratic Congress is not to pass compromise bills but rather to draw up a 1960 cam paign indictment against the Republicans.

"Here,'' she said, "is the formula for the boy, and here is the one for the girL If you have the slightest trouble, phone me at this number." The sitter called at nine. "I've got the formulas all ready," she reported. "But why did you phone me?" asked the mother.

WHITE This second set of Demo crats is being strongly support ed in fact, constantly egged on by Chairman Paul Butler of the Democratic National Committee and in general by Democratic politicians, most of whom hold no elected of fice. , The National Democratic Advisory Council is attacking the party's Congressional lead ership almost as severely as it is attacking President Eisen hower. Butler is head of this body; its most significant members are Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson. The implications of all this far outrun present legislative issues. For what is really going on is this: The largely unelected Democratic politi cians outside Congress are try ing, along with the minority advanced Democratic liberals in Congress, to force a revolu tionary change in the conduct of the party's Congressional leadership. - 4 THIS is being done at the risk of discrediting that leadership before the country and the Republicans are not unhappy thereby. The policies of that leadership have been three times vindicated in the election of Democratic majori ties in Congress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. . The advanced liberals sin cerely believe, however, that these policies will not be suc cessful in the 1960 Presiden tial election. The more conser vative party leadership be lieves exactly the reverse. The no-compromise-w i t h Eisenhower people have on their side the natural appeal of the man who cries, "Get in there and fight!" Their record forw inning elections, how ever, is not good. And the compromise-for-the-sake - of-present - performance people have one tthing their opponents do not have. They have the responsibility for running the present show.

Letters submitted for publica tion must not exceed 400 words Raising Children To the Editor: I was listen ing the other, day to a pro gram on which was a lady answering questions on rais ing and managing children. She was supposed to know more about it than the r,est of us. She was saying "when I spoke of using my authority, I didn't mean spanking. One should not . spank after five years old," she said. Now I think she is all wrong from a humane point of view. Five , years old is still a very sensitive age. If a par ent hasn't shown by kindly firmness who is boss by that time, that is the time to use some more positive means of correction. I see and hear so much about the beating of mere babies, that it makes me sick. Of course. I am not imply ing that this is the usual atti tude of young parents; but it does happen too often. For examrles: I know of a few young mothers that don't want to be. bothered by their first-born, so they sDank them to sleep, and expect them to spend the most of tne day in their cribs. The child being from nine to 18 months old. I know of a case where a young father was annoyed by the crving of a three-day old infant. He told it to hush. Just as if it would know what he said. Naturally it didn't stop crying, so he struck it. And it didn't cry any. more. He savs. "Now you see." Any of us wouldn't make more noise if we had the wind knocked out of us. This is unbelieve able but true. Only this summer my men folks came home from fishing and told of a family they saw a little distance from them. The parents had given the little boy and girl each a stick with a string on it, so they could pretend that they were fishing. A. little while later they saw this couple beating up on them. As the little girl turned to get m thenar the man kicked her. And then spanked her some more be cause she cried. She wasn't more than three years old. A small child can be trained according to its comprehen sion without knocking it about worse than most people do their dog. Perhaps we should have a "Be Kind to Babies ,Week." It is a sad thing when a baby, expecting love, gets acquainted with cruelty in its tender years. (IncidentaUy, I'll never believe 61 children got into that many plastic bags aU by themselves.) The news said today that facts were to be investigated from now on. A -three or five months old infant could not get m one bv themselves. We haven't stopped making matches be cause children often get them. Mary E. Atkins, 1634 Orchard Home dr. Medford.

Soon after trapping a few of the albino rodents, word got around and the small.pet shop proprietors were soon receiv ing demand from their custo mers to supply them with a pair of the unusual freaks.. One pet shop owner in Klamath Falls where we saw the first off color chipmunks said the price was $50 then for a pair. - We have often wondered after a period of 26 years if the species has survived or has been exterminated.

In a way that 3 Americans I a I envision, I VS (this country 4osenh Alson too wm. suuer look to us in if our allies vain. - These gloomy facts would not be worth recording, if they did not have their own enormous silver lining. The silver lining is the subject of this report, which was origi nally conceived at Geneva. Despite Secretary of State Christian A. Herter's admir able performance as a negotia tor, any serious American ob server there was bound at first to be deply depressed. The almost total sterility of our policy, its warmed-over, left-over character, its purely defensive intention, were al together too apparent. So was the great increase in Commu nist confidence in future vic tory. The causes of this Com munist confidence the grave decline in the Western world position, the substantial im provements in the Soviet po sition were not easy to for- get either. FI these circumstances, since our country alone has the power and resources to reverse the trend, America loomed very large from the shores of Lake Leman. As one thought about it, everything seemed to depend more and more com pletely on a great jet of new ideas in this depressing city, where any idea at all at pres ent arouses deep suspicion if not outright hostility. Could Washington again recover the wonderful fertility, tne re markable inventiveness that no strongly marked Washing ton in the past? This was the question one asked one's self. The result was a theory of the course of American poli tics, which is at least hopeful, and may at least give wiser men something to knock down. If this theory is correct, the last quarter-century of our political history is devisible into two quite distinct periods. The first period, beginning with Roosevelt's first election and ending at the close of the first Truman administration, was marked by the greatest in novations and changes that have taken place in American politics since the Civil War. The second period, from 1948 onward, had not produced even one major new idea, but has achieved the adjustments and consolidations that were badly needed after aU the pre vious new departures. ONE may ask one's self whether- President Eisen hower could not have prevent ed the serious deterioration of Today & Tomorrow By Walter STALEMATE AT GENEVA Although, as this is writ ten, the Geneva conference is not yet concluded, it is In a stalemate with little prospect that the stale- mate will be broken. This is not much. But it is some thing. And it is about all Jus A V, J&. I nat there has ever- been anv SjT laenn in ovnort As early a s March . it had Walter Llppmano become plain enough that, on the one hand, Russia would not attempt to expel the West ern garrisons by force and that, on the other hand, the West would not use force if East. German officials re placed the Soviet officials. 'This is the shape of the stalemate, which leaves the situation in status quo. What Geneva has been unable to do is to build upon it, to reach an agreement on how long the existing situation is to be maintained. For neither side has felt any immediate com pulsion to work for such an agreement. . TlfOREOVER, it has begun to "look as if the stalemate includes more than Berlin, more than the two Germanys, and that for some reason Mr. Khrushchev is less urgent than he was to bring about a summit meeting. Certainly he has not been willing to pay any substantial price for such a meeting. If this is the fact, it must mean that he thinks that he can wait because his position in Germany is im proving and that time is on his side. As respects West Berlin, this is unhappily only too true. The Western allies who, on this issue have accepted the leadership of Adenauer and de Gaulle, have success fully and unitedly stood pat By Joseph AIsop the Western position that has taken place during his tenure of the White House. But no one can argue that, he has not performed an immensely use ful service, by presiding over a successful political adjust ment and consolidation after a time of unsettling change. The proof of Eisenhower's success in this respect is very clear indeed. You can see it in any morning newspaper, in the innumerable stories about the almost numberless Presi dential candidates of the two great political parties. This multiplicity of ex tremely able men, all of whom are good bets to do a good job in the Presidency this free choice between Nixon, Rocke feller, Lyndon Johnson, Ken nedy, Humphrey, and several more has no precedent at all in the past quarter-century. In all elections from 1932 on wards, there were at most two men, and quite often there was only one man, who seemed likely to be able to do the biggest job in the world. The reason for this past scarcity, in turn, was not a sudden shortage of able, ener getic men. The reason was, rather, that most of the able, energetic, men available had not achieved their own adjust ment to the immense changes that had been made and were still being made. They would not and could not say, "Here we are, and this is how we ought to go on from here. They wanted instead to row back up the river of time, which is impossible. Robert A. Taft, one of the biggest and finest men of his genera tion, is the most conspicuous case in point. contrast, all the current Presidential . hopefuls, both Republican and Democratic, are briskly saying, "Here we are, and this is how we ought to go on from here. They ac cept what has been done. They do not want to undo it. They merely want to improve on it. . Nor are these men gripped by the kind of attachment to the past that made so many surviving New Dealers go on parroting Franklin Roosevelt for so long, with, such un fruitful results, in fact, ex cept for Stuart Symington who partly represents a con tinuation of the Truman group in the Democratic Party, none of the Presidential hopefuls has any real attachment to the past for no one can suppose that a Nixon administration will be a mere continuation of the Eisenhower years. Whether you are a Demo crat or a Republican, you can not help being impressed by the demonstration of Ameri can political dynamism pro vided by this milling horde of impressive candidates. And in them lies the hope for the great jet of new ideas, the bold rush of new departures, which the cause of the West so desperately needs. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Lippmann and have stood firm. They have stood pat and they have stood firm not only on their right to be in West Berlin but also on the whole juridicial and poltical basis of their rights. But they have failed to provide West Berlin with any kind of promise, much less a contractual guarantee, of its future as part of the capital of Germany. And if West Berlin does not have that promise, it has a very uncertain future in deed. Even if there is no blockade or overt act against West Berlin, this uncertainty, this being in a blind alley, given the horrible geography of the city, is a dangerous form of insecurity. In a West ern capitalistic economy, such as that of West Berlin, confi dence is indispensable and a belief in the future a neces sity. AT GENEVA, the Western allies, being committed to the policy of standing pat and standing firm, have left the initiative for the future to the Soviet Union. Geneva is not, however, the end of the story. Whether or not it leads to a summit meeting, it will surely be followed by negotiations in one form or another at the highest level. Mr. Kozlov, First Deputy Chairman of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers, is com ing here early in July. The Vice President and Dr.. Milton Eisenhower are going to Mos cow. What they aU might be doing is to work out ways by which the heads of govern ments can exchange views and negotiate without bom barding each other with pub lic tirades or setting up an international circus.

There's on person in the -valley, however, who won ders about recreation, espe cially where it concerns boats. One slant to the rec reation idea, this person claims, is the man who re fuses to go on a fishing trip because he's . making pay ments on a new cruiser and -has to get his money's worth by using it on week ends. And there's the person who puts more money into a boat, which is used during ' the warmer months, than the family automobile, which is used all year. .
