No summertime festival or pageant is com plete without its "queen" and "princesses": fe fraternal organizations rial this, or their "royal" that. To a non-joiner, these but we presume that they fulfill some sort of need which the United States, with its major titles confined to the academic, or elective, fails to meet. i A' BRITISH author, gests that the U. S. let down this constitu tional barrier, crown President Eisenhower King Dwight I, and create a nobility. He says: "Let the color, glamor and chivalry of the histori cal past which begat the United States return to it in rightful form." He does this, we suspect, with tongue firmly in cheek. But we also would guess that he does it to emphasize the fact that the ordinary Ameri can citizen knows little about the uses of royalty and nobility, yet finds them inexplicably attrac- live ana exciting, witness tne Dig ana entnuiastic throngs which are greeting Queen Elizabeth H on her American visit. IITE WOULD hate to w T taken too seriously. By the same token, ciation and understanding of the role of the crown in modern, democratic monarchies, such as Britain, The Netherlands, Belgium, and the Scandinavian countries, would give Americans a more realistic basis for judging its friends. The crown has a number of roles traditional, symbolic, as an historical pageant, and, to a lim ited and circumscribed degree, governmental. Queen Elizabeth is bonds yet remaining which today cement to gether the British Commonwealth of Nations. No, we want no titles of royalty or nobility in this country. But m accepted, the crown furnishes a real and impor tant function. E.A. f The Uses of "Guff" The Congressional Record is, nominally, a verbatim account of everything that transpires during the sessions of the two houses of congress. Some days, when both houses are in session, and there is protracted debate, the "Record" will run up to about an inch thick. And, as explained yesterday on this page by UPI Washington Correspondent Frank Eleazer, more than 17,000 pages of the Record have been printed so far in 1959 some 6,000 of them in the Appendix, which is a place where speeches, recipes, editorials and such-like can be printed as "extensions of remarks," although they are never actually read on the floor of either house. . THE Record, because of some of these vagaries, or 3 Vflnoiicfl if irca VAiif . norfo rflt "rrr"Yrl to print, has often come under attack, from economy-minded Congressmen, or from editors, or from others who may recognize the value of the Record as a day-by-day record of Congres sional activities, but who object to its use as a dumping ground for a has little direct bearing One of the defenders of the Record, how ever, is the Congressman from this . district, Charles O. Porter. ; In reply to a critical editorial in the Eugene Register-Guard, which termed much of the ma terial in the Record, and particularly in the Appendix, "guff," Porter said, in part: "I can't agree that appendix inserts are largely , -'guff.' , "Our business here on Capitol Hill is government. This includes the promotion ' of policies to help the . general welfare, to preserve our freedoms, to defend our country, and to create and maintain confidence by the people in the men and women who make and execute these policies both in and out of government. "So if someone says an 'appendix insert' is merely for the purpose of satisfying the vanity of the folks at home and not for the historical record or for the education of Congressmen, he is right in a sense, t But if the words make good sense to me by pointing up a new approach or backing me up in an opinion or heralding a beauty of Oregon or the district, I be . lieve Jt is good appendix material. "My job is to be a representative in fact as well as in name. One way I make this clear is 'through insertions in the Record. One man's back-scratching is another man's encouragement. "One man's 'guff is another man's history. A sub scriber to a magazine or newspaper doesn't read every item. He reads what is of interest to him. No one would ever expect anybody to read the Congressional Record from cover to cover. "Of course I read quite a bit of the Record . . . "Much of what I read I find interesting, helpful, "often important. Not 'guff at all, but the fabric of our legislative process, reflecting both strengths and weaknesses but always demonstrative of the un matched worth of our democratic processes." - THE federal government today is so huge and x complex, and the means of communication so inadequate, that the Record does fill a need. Much of it, undoubtedly, is waste. But a dem ocratic (or republican) form of government is essentially wasteful in that its processes are far more complex, and far more expensive, than those in a dictatorship, where the rights' of minorities and individuals come second to the demands of the state. ' . If the Record unwieldly, verbose and over weight as it is can in some measure assist in tiie legislating process, and in keeping open the lines of communication between representative and constituent, then it is worth its cost, which is, after all, only a tiny fraction of the other costs of government.

Dennis the -7.7 1 ' grem3pccg,r.wt) - I WfrBEIJBVE THERE mA Matter of Fact NIXON'S MASSIVE LEAD Hartford, Conn-Last week, the Republicans of Connecti cut's seventh district, which is all of north em Connecti cut west of the river, had a dinner meet ing in the pleasant little town of Sims bury. T h r e ading his way joitnh aisod inrougn me XI .1 A 1 throng of town chairmen and committee women, First Se lectmen and the like, was a visitor from a much higher political . sphere, former Re publican National Chairman Meade Alcorn, "Who'd you like. Nixon or Rockefeller?" was Alcorn's question. As Al corn tells it, Vice President Richard M. Nixon was the universal choice. Among these people who constitute the en tire working Republican or ganization in their part of the state, none favored the Presi dential candidacy of New York's Gov. Nelson Rocke feller. One veteran Republican First Selectman seemed to speak for them all. He began with the routine remark, that Nixon would be a good Presi dent and a good candidate too. He concluded, with an emphasis that implied severe criticism of Dwight D. Eisen hower: "And by God, Nixon would really build up the Re publican party, and how we need it!" OTHER less rock - ribbed parts of this state would show results differing" a little from the results obtained at the seventh district clambake. But there is no sign of active support for a Rockefeller can didacy anywhere in Connecti cut, except among the exur- banites of Fairfield county, which is really a dependency of New . York city , seething with men in gray flannel suits.. And although the state's Republican leaders have made a pact among themselves to keep their mouths shut and their eyes open for a while, there are plenty of signs of active support for Nixon all over Connecticut. Connecticut's decision does not make a convention decis ion, anymore than one swal low makes a summer. But al though this is a small state, it is a state where the Re publicans now want to win very badly. In 1958, they suc ceeded in transforming a state legislature majority of just under ten to one into an ac tual minority. This unprece dented political feat satisfied the recurrent Republican hun ger for lost elections in a rather too ample way. FURTHERMORE, this is a state where Rockefeller ought to show strength, if the New York Governor has real strength anywhere. In the three great Republican strug gles since the Hoover debacle, Connecticut went for Landon in 1936, for Wilkie in 1940, and for Eisenhower in 1952. There is a hard core ex-Taft-ite nowadays. But these peo ple have never controlled the state in any show-down fight. Rockefeller sentiment could be expected to be visible here, too, because of the state s proximity to New York, and Nelson Rockefeller's many personal links with Connecti cut leaders in both politics and business. . The absence of such senti ment is surprising to a visitor from Washington. To the Washingtonian, so accustomed to the endless, airless political debate in the capital, it even comes as a bit of a shock to find the massiveness of the Vice President's lead in the grass roots. Back in Washington, .. half the experts - perhaps rather more than half the experts -wag their heads and sagely predict, "You wait and see; the Republican choice will be Rockefeller." Out here where the hunt for delegates is al Menace MOSQUfTO OH 0 pmi By Joseph AIsop ready in progress, it is hard to see how the Republican choice can be anyone but Nixon, ex cept in two special sets of cir cumstances. IF THE public opinion polls again begin to favor the New York Governor, the seemingly massive Nixon lead may prove pretty fragile after all. Just after the New York election, the beginnings of an impressive pro - Rockefeller tide could be perceived in Connecticut. The, tide quickly subsided when the polls start ed to indicate that Nixon would run better than Rocke feller against the Democrats e y e n although the polls showed both of the Republi cans running very poorly in deed. But let Nelson fall bad ly behind. Let the polls sug gest that Nixon cannot win, whereas Rockefeller has a chance. Then there will be a knock-down, drag-out fight here in Connecticut, and no doubt in most of the other states that now seem sewed up for Nixon. As for the other circum stance that may destroy the Nixon lead, it is a major for eign policy disaster. After Nikita Khrushchev's grim re marks to Averell Harriman, no one can rule out the possi bility of a really major dis aster in the foreign field m the next 12 months. President Eisenhower may suddenly be caused to look like a hand-me- down Stanley Baldwin instead of a golfing Prince of Peace. In that case, although Nixon has often urged stronger for eign defense policies on Ei senhower, as a Vice President will surely be tarred with the brush of the President s fail ure. Once again, there will be an opening for Rockefeller. Otherwise, it is very hard to see how there can be any opening for him. Otherwise, indeed, although Gov. Rocke feller is a bold long-shot bet tor, it is hard to imagine him making his bet this time. (Copyright 1959, New York Herald Tribune, Inc.)

They know that the long process of condemning France for her actions in Algeria will begin all over again this fall in the United Nations.

Seen Growing for Summit Talk Only Britain and Russia now are disposed toward holding a summit conference of the 1955 type at Geneva. But all four powers were agreed last year-until Red China vetoed the proposition that it would be good to hold a summit con ference within the U.N. Se curity Council. Other approaches to a 1959 summit meeting becoming more and more cluttered, the idea for a "summit-council" session is again being pro posed. U.N. News Dull From a news standpoint, the United Nations has gone through its dullest season since before the Korean War. A summit conference would change all that and would give full swey to Hammar- Are Given view of the capitol at one end and the Washington monu ment at the other, and dump ed it out on the grass. Although you wouldn't think so to look at some of our recreational havens on Monday morning, there's a law against this kind of con duct in the national parks. So we all stood around, kind of uneasy, until a battery of out door vacuum cleaners sucked up the mess. That's why we were there, of course. It seems that Park Service maintenance men are acquiring permanent crooks in their backs leaning over to pick up the cigarette butts, empty packs, beer cans, film S. WHITE ber of Deputies. These authentic Algerian Frenchmen are able to do what the French-Frenchmen could never do. They are able to speak not as accused "col onizers" and exploiters of Al geria but as natives of that area who can fairly claim to love that land quite as much as the Algerian rebels do, so say they do. It is rather as though the United States government were under attack for not al lowing Hawaii, say, to become wholly separate and indepen dent, and we selected to give our answer freely elected Con gressmen who were not only "Americans" but also native Hawaiians. These quiet visiting Alger ian - French . members of the French parliament include men who during World War II were active in the French un derground against the Nazis. Some have American friends and wartime comrades who were in our own cloak-and- dagger outfit, the Office of Strategic Services. Others have international friendships as sportsmen. BASICALLY, the case these visitors are trying to make is this: 1. Algeria, far from being a fat source of profit for France, is utterly dependent economi cally on France. Algeria, all the same, is being retained by France or the same reason we would insist on retaining Alaska in the Union. That is to say, Algeria simply is a part of France - and in military terms a strategic part. 2. The French can under stand the irritation of France's allies that the bulk of the French arrdy has long been pinned down in Algeria. But the French believe these troops are serving the common Western defensive interests. For the loss of Algeria to the rebels .would give to the forces of chaos - and forces with Communist support - a foot hold in North Africa. North Africa has been historically a bridge to conquest by aggres sors; as it was, for example, to Hitler. 3. The French are convinc ed they will have broken the Algerian revolt altogether by the end of this year. They see no possibility, .however, of being able safely to recall the French r forces to European France for years to come - un less. The "unless" is that the United States alters its own policies and quits directly or ind i r e c 1 1 y encouraging the rebels. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Everybody was agreed on a "summit - council" last sum mer until Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev talked - it over with Chinese Communist Boss Mao Tse-tung and back ed out. The Chinese Reds balked because, for the summit meet ing to be held within the Se curity Council, it would have meant that Nationalist China would sit in equally with Khrushchev himself. The Chi nese Communists, not being recognized by the council, of course would have been ex cluded. There is provision, if not precedent, for a "summit council" meeting. The U.N. Charter calls for periodic G rows; Testing cartons, cardboard boxes, can dy wrappers and other trash thrown on the ground by peo ple who otherwise manifest normal intelligence. Consider Machinery To help prevent threatened inundation of our national parks in litter, they were thinking of buying some of the new power gismos that look like big rotary mowers and sound worse, but which apparently have a large appe tite for practically everything left behind by the relaxing public. The tentative verdict was that the vacuum cleaner will help in some situations, such as small, heavily congested grassy areas where the traf fic always is heavy. Out in the big woods, said park serv ice maintenance chief Edwin O. Kenner, no substitute has been found for the bent back or the pointed stick of the litter remover. We could, of course, quit throwing our trash on the ground, but nobody thinks this is likely. Many national parks furnish entering motor ists with litter bags for their cars. It has been found that some people stuff these con scientiously with all the loose debris in the car, then furnish the clean-up by flinging them out the windows. Worse Each Year Kenner said the litter prob lem gets worse every year. He wouldn't say people are slop pier. It's just that more peo ple every year use the nation al parks. Just picking up the stuff we throw down in our parks already is costing us pretty near $1 million a year. Considering that the park service has only about $80 million a year, for construc tion, maintenance and opera tion of its 22,384,000 acres of parks, that's a considerable item. And it doesn't cover trash disposal in general. Just the picking up of what we drop, and getting it into the nearest container. In the crowded capital area, the problem is worse.

Meeting high-level meetings of tha council to be attended by members of the participating governments. This has never been done. Closest Approach Suet The closest approach to such a meeting came in 1956, when the major foreign min isters sat around the council table to discuss the Suez cri. sis. Hammarskjold broke up what looked like a develop ing parliamentary wrangle by passing notes around the ta ble asking the principals to come to his office for a pri vate talk. Out of that man-to-man ses sion came the six principles on which the United Arab Re public now operates the Suez Canal. The idea last year-now be ing promoted actively again was that a similar procedure would be followed in a "summit-council" meeting. Khrushchev, President Ei senhower, President Charles de Gaulle and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan would sit as council members in public sessions with the representa tives of the other seven coun cil countries: Nationalist Chi na, Argentina, Canada, Italy, Japan, Panama and Tunisia. The Big Four would go into private session in Hammar skjold's office, or at their own various headquarters, for secret talks. This would be much like the foreign minis ters' procedure of meeting at each other's villas and then reporting publicly in the open session. Former president Harry Truman has come out for the "summit-council" idea. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D - Mont.) likes the charter idea of peri odic high-level meetings. The question bothering U.N. diplomats is: would Red Chi na again refuse to let Khrush chev attend? Police Check Two Accidents Two traffic accidents were reported to state police early Monday morning. At 7:30 ajn. two vehicles, operated by Bertie Milium Rogers, 77, of 1424 Maple Park dr, and John Wesly Ma haffey, 33, of 3857 Jackson ville highway, collided at the intersection of Maple Park dr. and Ross lane, police reported. Reports show that Rogers was westbound on Maple dr. when his vehicle pulled into the path of the Mahaffey vehicle, which' was north bound on Ross lane. Both vehicles were exten sively damaged, police said. Rogers was informed by po lice that a complaint charging failure to yield right of way would be signed against him. The second accident at 8 ajn. occurred on South Pa cific highway near Kim's. Ac cording to police both vehicles were southbound in the inside lane when the automobile operated by Naomi Keplinger, 50, of 360 Cherry st., Medford, stopped to make a left turn onto the Charlotte Ann rd., and was hit from behind by a vehicle operated by Georgia Catherine Russell, 52, of 2525 Sandy terrace, Medford. Both cars received minor damage. Police reported that a complaint would be filed against Georgia Russell for violation of the basic rule.
