What Should
Are we asking too
iicersr
Howard B. Gill, director of the institute of
correctional administration at the American Uni
versity in Washington, D.C., thinks perhaps we
are.
"Police should return to the old-fashioned job
of catching criminals," he said in the current issue
of the Journal of the National Probation and
Parole association.
He explains:
"The police are giving less and less attention to
crime and criminals ard more and more attention to
'noncriminal' activities inspections of buildings; at
tendance at parades, dances, funerals; operation of
boys clubs and camps, etc. Someone must concentrate
on the work of detecting and apprehending criminals,
a full-time job in itself. We should avoid this big, gen
tle, cowlike concept of police work in favor of the
stern, firm and authoritarian figure who is supposed to
be the terror of the wrongdoer."
O ILL also declares that "Crime prevention is
not primarily the job of the police, but of the
home, church and other character-building or-
ganizauons.
He may be right in these two points, but it is
far easier said than done. Police officers have
had to t&ke.over much of the crime "prevention
work, and the other city "housekeeping" duties
simpiy Dy aeiaun ior
to do them.
Police officers should be, and in most cases
are, respected and valued citizens of their com
munity, with as much stake, or more, in crime
prevention and order as anyone else.
Until someone figures out V way of getting
done tne secondary iocs
permit them to concentrate on crime detection.

We re not at all sure,
idea of a policeman as a

that most policemen would like it, either. E.A.
Transportation Revolution
. Fred Seaton, secretary of the interior, speak
ing in Duluth, Minn., the other day, was quoted
as saying that the next generation of citizens in
the Great Lakes ports,
:
cicu xieiguircanvmg suumannes, atomic mer
chant ships, hydrofoil ships and levitation ships'
wen, wny not:
We already have atomic submarines, and it is
only a step to adapting them for cargo work. An
atomic merchant ship will soon be launched.
(Russia has an atomic ice-breaker afloat now.)"
The principle of, hydrofoil ships has been worked
out in small craft, and it is only a matter of en
geneering to adapt it to bigger vessels.
e e
THE "levitation" ship is something fairly new,
but it, too, has been worked out in principle
a principle which may also be adaptable to
cross-country vehicles as well as to those travel
ling over-water.
We are, in fact, in the midst of a revolution in
transportation a revolution which began with
the invention of the wheel, moved ahead slowly
until the application of steam power to the move
ment of wheels, took a tremendous spurt with the
invention of the internal combustion engine,
stepped up again with successful flights by heav-ier-than-air
craft, and is now on the verge of
another leap forward as the principles of flight
are applied to the problems of land and water
transportation.
CEATON told his audience that the government
plans to start work next year on an experi
mental hydrofoil ship of some '80 tons, which
might travel at speeds up to 80 knots or be
tween 90 and 100 miles per hour.
. He said such a vessel would, in effect, "ride
on a (submerged) wing-like structure, skimming
the surface of the water without leaving any
wake . . ." The elimination of the drag of the hull
against the water would permit the nigh speeds.
Seaton also reported the maritime adminis
tration has started to investigate the feasibility
of a "levitation" ship, no part of which would
touch the water, and which would ride on jets
of air directed downward.
could travel at speeds in the range of 120 miles
per hour.
CONSIDER:
The railroad started its noteworthy career
only about 130 years ago. The automobile and
airplane were developed within the memory of
many people still living. Jet planes are less than
two decades old.
Modern technology moves at an eyer-accel-erating
pace. .
No one knows for sure what the future will
bring, except that it wijl bring things new and
startling. And it will do it soon. E.A.

Try and Stop Mo
By BENNETT CERF
rl HER NEWLY PUBLISHED autobiography, June Havoc,
younger sister of Gypsy Rose Lee, tells about the time her
mother got her a part in a movie when she was exactly three
years old! It was June's job
to burst into tears at a given
signal, and she gave a mag
nificent performance aid
ed considerably by the fact
that just before she went
on, her thoughtful mother
told her that her favorite
dog had just been run over
and killed.
Eight times they reshot
the scene, and each time the '
mother reminded her of the
death of her dog. After the
first time, recalls June, she -
realized it wasn't true at all, .
but she thought of how miserable she would be feeling if it teas
true, and cried her eyes out. Of such stuff, stars are made!

The stingiest man of the year must be the one who gave his little
girl a dime to go without supper, stole It from her while she was
asleep, and then refused her breakfast for losing it.

bers, all of whom are under
rigid discipline, now will
peddle this nonsense in all di
rections." The" Communists
hope to capitalize on the
doubts and suspicions of
American citizens with re
spect to Trujillo and his 30-
year dictatorship.
The long-range Communist
objective is to create among
American citizens a state of
mind which will accept future
events in Cuba even though
-as seems likely-Communists
may take over the island gov
ernment. A take-over would
pose for the United States
hard problems, dangerous and
difficult decisions.
This nonsense about State
Department collaboration
with Trujillo in an anti-Cas-
tro plot looks like the be
ginning of a long-range pro
paganda campaign. The Com
rades foresee and earnestly
hope that Communist infiltra
tion of Castro's revolutionary
movement will lead, finally,
to Communist control of the
Cuban government. That
would create for the United
States a dangerous and chal
lenging situation.
A Communist Pistol
A Communist Cuba would
be a pistol aimed at the head
and heart of freedom in aU of
the Americas.
It is reasonable to believe
that the United States could
not' long abide such a situa
tion. Just about the last
strategy, however, would be
for the United States to team
with Trujillo in violence
against any Cuban govern
ment. That could not be.
More likely, would be an ap
peal to the Organization of
American States.
The Communist strategy,
however, will be to allege
U. S. coUaboration with Tri-
jillo, regardless of what ac
tion, if any, the United States
might be compelled to take
with respect to Cuba. The new
Party line Is propaganda de
signed to implant in soft
American heads the image of
a sinister plot by the forces
of evil against the Cuban
people.
Communist propaganda has
had uncommonly good luck
in pianung screwy ideas in
soft American heads. The
softies easily will absorb the
idea that any effort to keep
Cuba clean of Communist
government is, in fact, merely
part of a Fascist plot to de
prive free men everywhere of
their freedom.
Adm. Arleigh Burke, chief
of naval operations, was on
record this week that "the
danger is great" that Com
munists will take over in
Cuba. - - , .

Black Bart's Treasure .
To - the Editor: Some 20
years ago there was an ac
count in the "50 years ago'
column of the Ashland Daily
Tidings of a farm adjacent to
Ashland that was dug on for
a year or so, by searchers
who were looking for a hur
ried cache of - gold, without
success. At that time there
were no mineral detectors.
Apparently the hidden
treasure was a part of the loot
taken by "Black Bart," who
had held up around 28 stage
coaches loaded with Wells
Fargo strong boxes on the
California "mother lode'
country anywhere from Yreka
to Jackson, from 1877 to 1883
It is recorded that "Black
Bart" never shot a man in the
six years of his stage hold-ups
Around that time Placerville
was nicknamed "Hangtown'
because of so many highgrad-
ers that were "strung up
there.

Wher Are We Headed?
To the Editor:, I'm just a
country boy living about zo
miles out of Medford. 1 go
into town once in a while to
do shopping. The only trouble
have in town is with tne
meter man.
One illustration: I drove to
town Monday, July 13, ana
found a vacant parking place.
I drove in and parked my car,
went to rmg up tne meter,
and found I didn't have a
penny or a nickel, and a dime
won't work. I went into the
closest place I could to change
dime to two nickels. When
came out the door I saw a
police car go, by, and I con
gratulated myself and put a
nickel in the meter. I dia my
shopping, came back to my
car, and found I bad a park
ing ticket. Z still had 12 min
It was indeed. It was Wild
Horse Annie, the nemesis of
the dog food and glue factory
moguls, th e terror of the
burro bootlegger, the heroine
of the mustang's last stand.
I buckled on my fountain
pen and galloped through the
capitol canyons to the office
of "Rep. Walter Baring (D
Nev.) where Annie had agreed
to have a few words with a
posse of press men.
I was feeling uneasy about
my citified suit and bow tie,
and the fact I wasn't packing
a gun. But Annie, it develop
ed, wasn't holstered up for the
rendezvous either.

Latest to be bit, for the

Honduras.
At the same time, newsmen
in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, and
Ciudad Trojillo in the Domini
can Republic were standing
by for other threatened out
breaks. Others already had occur
red or were threatened in
Guatemala, Nicaragua, and
Panama.
Fight Uphill Battle
Outside the Caribbean,
President Arturo Frondizi of
Argentina fought his uphill
way against opponents, at
least some of whom were in
the pay of exiled one-time
Argentine dictator Juan D.
Peron. Abortive attempts had
been made against the govern-
utes on the meter.
I went to the police station,
presented my ticket and asked
them why I should get a tick
et when the meter I was
parked at was rung up for an
hour and still had 12 minutes
on it when I left. The man
said I didn't have to come to
the station, just put 50 cents
in the envelope and drop it in
the maiL I tried to tell him
had not overparked, but he
just held on to that sweet lit
tle smile and said "Pay me."
I had no redress.
I don't worry about the 50
cents. If the servants we the
people pay to enforce our
laws and render justice to all
honest, law abiding citizens
undermine and deceive their
masters, where are we head
ed?'

Declared Valid
Washington-DP-The U. S,
Court of Claims ruled today
that the controversial Dixon-
Yates power contract was
valid, and awarded the util

ation costs.
The majority of the court
held that there was no con
flict of interest Involving
Adolph H. Wenzell, who acted
as the government s advisor
when the contract was being
set up.
Tne government had re
fused to pay any contract
termination costs to the Miss

tending that Wenzell's dual
capacity in thecase violated
the law and invalidated the

An unhappy witness has
been the United States, with a
primary interest in preserv
ing Caribbean peace but fet
tered by both old and new
dangers.
Castro played upon, one of
them with a blast against the
U. S. for granting political
asylum to former Cuban air
force commander Pedro Luis
Diaz Lanz. Diaz Lanz quit the
air force after charging that
Communists were being al
lowed to filter into the Cuban
armed forces. He subsequently
was labelled a traitor by
Castro.
Castro said the United
States should be brought be
fore the Organization of
American states on charges of
interfering with Cuba's for
eign affairs.
Hits Sensitive Nerve
He hit a sensitive nerve,
for Latin Americans tradition
ally suspicious of the "colossus
of the north."
Diaz Lanz's charges of com
munism in Cuba were not the
first such to be brought up
against the Castro regime, and
there have been other evi
dences of increased Commu
nist infiltration throughout
the Caribbean area. A notable
example has been the return
to Guatemala of many former
adherents of the Red-tinged
regime of Jacobo Arbenz.
In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
Here's something new
It's a word.
The word is "serendipity.1
VOJJ never heard of it?
Well, neither did I -until
a few days ago when Bob
Chandler, the (sometimes)
erudite (at other times rug
gedly human) editor of the
Bend Bulletin, picked it out
of his collection and used it
(a little smugly. I think) in
an editorial in his paper.
That piqued the bright
young men of the Eugene
Register - Guard's editorial
stable and they dug up an
anthology of the word's uses
An anthology, by the way, is
a "collection of the flowers
that is to say, beautiful pas
sages) of literature."
THE word, it appears, was
used recently by Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger. writ
ing in Harper's about his bout
with cancer. He used it in
discussing cancer research.
He spoke of serendipity in
cancer research.
Along about the same time,
the Atlantic Monthly took a
whirl at it in an article des
cribing how Avery Fisher, a
hi-fi practitioner, displayed
serendipity in improving hi-fi.
The collection ends with a
citation of the use by the
Scientific American of the
term "serendipital intellectu
ality'.' - thus going both Harp
er's and the Atlantic Monthly
one better.
WHAT does it mean?
" The Register - Guard's
writers say the dictionary de

faculty for' stumbling across
fortunate discoveries, by ac

the bad men out in the West.
And all those stories are
true, she conceded. She start
ed riding herd on the mus
tang muscle men 10 years -ago,
wheq they first took to the
air to run ragged the herds
of wild horses that once roam
ed western ranges two million
strong.
Chased to Exhaustion
The cayuses were chased by
planes to exhaustion, then
pursued in trucks until las
soed. Those still insisting on
freedom were set to dragging
old trucK tires, until they fi
nally collapsed or gave up the
fight.'
Velma and her husband
Charles, who run a small
ranch 26 miles outside of
Reno, reacted at once by for
swearing dog food made out
of horses. Then Velma went
into action to save the dwin
dling herds of mustangs.
They've shrunk now, she
said, to 20,000 in all the ranee
states of the West And they're
suu bemg run down and
hauled away to the slaughter
house, just sufficiently alive
to save cooling costs.
Around Reno, Nev., howev
er, it's a foolhardy cowboy
who goes after the few thou
sand mustangs that remain. '
"I've got 8 or 10 big guys
I call on when I need 'em,"
Velma said, smiling sweetly,
by way of explaining her per
suasive powers.
Passes the Word
There was the time not long
ago when a sheep rancher an
nounced he was moving his
flock. To round up strays, he
said, he was sending along an
airplane. But Velma heard he
instructed the pilot, "while
you're at it, round up every
damn horse in those hills."
Velma just-passed the word.
She said it was relayed, with
amendments, to the rancher
as follows: "It will be all your
lives are worth to try it." He
didn't try it, she said. ,
Despite her successes locally-including
passage of a Ne
vada law barring airborne
