Porter, in pursuit of his idea that a chairlift should be built down the inner slope of the crater at Crater lake, has found a film which shows two aenal tramways of a tvDe he thinks midit be suitable for such use. The film was shown here this week, and about 30 people turned out to see it. Each had his own idea about the chairlift afterward, although it would be fair and an understatement to. say that a majority did not seem to be favorably impressed with the proposal, nor with the pic tures of the suggested O' UR own reactions We believe the proposal to be utterly inane. and to violate the very things that make Crater lake what it is one of the greatest of the world's miracles of scenery. The chairlifts shown in the film require tall steel towers , to carry the cables which in turn convey the aerial chairs. A string of these down the side of the crater could not be concealed, and would mar irreparably the stately beauty of the inner walls of the caldera. A big shed is required at each end of the lift, to house machinery and to store chairs. CO THE mere presence of such a contraption is our first and foremost objection, but it is far from the only one. Why, for instance, is given is to permit more from lake level. Presumably this is desirable, although the view from that level is far less beau tiful and impressive than the views seen from any one of a couple of dozeri spots around the rim. Those who go seeking beauty will best spend their time taking the rim drive. And the others? What would draw "them down to lake level? The Boats for fishing, boats for sight-seeing, boats (perish the thought) for races or regattas or water skiing. v.. : ?. . To .anyone who has surface of the lake on a observed the indescribable blueness and serenity oi tne water, such a thought is an abomination and a desecration. w t w m m THERE are, also, practical considerations. The season during could be profitably operated is only two, or at most zy2 months, in length. ; The steel towers would have to be removed in the winter, to prevent il 1- At 1 mem ur pusmng mem aown lnxo me iaKe. The inner slopes of the crater are of unstable lava formations, and the concrete bases for the towers would have to be huge and deep. Even then they would be subject to slides and slips. THERE are places in this world for practically 1 everything, including aerial tramways. One such is Disneyland. Another might even be some- here in' the park where it could be used by signiseers auring me snort summer season, ana by skiers during the long period of heavy snow, somewhere where it would not mar one of the most magnificent vistas the world offers, and entice crowds to an inevitable marina on the lake- shore, scattering candy-wrappers as they go. Congressman Porter says a recent poll of voters in his district showed a majority favorable to the chairlift idea. Well and good, but it doesn't mean much unless one knows whether the votes were cast by those who have been to Crater lake, and know what the implications would be. Leave the tramways to Disneyland and the ski slopes, Mr. Porter, and permit Crater lake to remain as much as possible as God made it. E.A. 26,300 Every once in a while, when driving around Medford and watching up, we wonder who s going to live m them all. Now we know. It is the 2,000 or so people who have moved into Medford within the last year. It has been evident that the the city has been growing, but few have suspected that it was at quite such a rate. Now the city has put out its estimate of the population an educated guess that there are now 26,300 people in the city limits, compared to 24,300 last year at this time. THE city's estimate isn't "official" yet, for it has to be checked by the Oregon census board, which can revise it, either upward or downward. But it's bound to be fairly close. The estimate is based on a number of factors, such as water and electric connections, new residential construction, and so on. Next year, of course, "Uncle Sam's bureau of the census will move in and make an accurate and detailed nose-count. It will then be interest ing to see how closely the actual census figure compares with the city's estimate of next year. The comparison will also give the city a more accurate base for estimating future changes. - THE population estimates of Oregon's cities are - made annually under a fairly new law, and for the purpose of determining the distribution J L 1 I V . oi various siaie iunas on a Der caoita basis share of liquor revenues, uacn ciitf lis ju&i, ?i niue jeaiuus oi its growxn, but few. of them can compare in this regard to Salem and Eucene. which for the nast few venrs have been neck and neck city in the state.

At the adjo urn ment on June 20, the official view in Wash ington. was that negotia tion about Ber lin was peril ously near a breakdown . in a crisis of ul timatums and Walter Uppmann threats. But before the confer ence was resumed, the gen eral feeling in the West was that negotiation was not breaking; down, that there may be no ultimatum and no crisis, that a provisional arrangement about Berlin might be possible, and that we are at the beginning of a series of negotiations, now at Geneva, then after that at the summit, and after that at various levels for at least two years to come. . This change of feeling in Washington, which brings us nearer to what the British have felt aU along, is based upon a careful reading of what Mr. Gromyko said in a statement issued on June 28. According to Mr. Gromy ko, this statement merely i clears up a misunderstanding by Secretary Herter of what the Soviet government meant to say before the conference adjourned, whether or not this is the case, whether the statement marks a concession or is merely a clarification, the statement itself impressed Washington. UNFORTUNATELY, this im portant statement was not adequately reported in the American press at the time it was issued, and it became generally available even to newspapermen only after it appeared some days later in a mimeographed handout from the Soviet Embassy. The statement was, how ever, weU known at once to the State Department and to the Foreign Office in London. They had seen how explicitly Mr. Gromyko denied that he was delivering an ultimatum demanding the surrender of Western rights in Berlin. They had noted also that Mr. Gro myko had said he was pro posing the terms of a 'pro visional status of West Ber lin" while attempts were made to agree on the reunifi cation of Germany. There is no doubt that this is a crucial modification of the original Soviet demand of November, 1958, for a per manent settlement of the status of Berlin. Pending the reunification of the two Ger manys and the restoration of Berlin as the German capital, the West can ask no less, but also it can ask no more, than that West Berlin be given a provisional status." SINCE last November, when Mr. Khrushchev opened the present chapter of the Ger man question, it has been rea sonably certain that what would happen is what is now in prospect. In one form or another a new provisional status, recognizing the sub stance of the status quo, would have to be worked out. More than that, something in the nature of a permanent solution has never been pos sible. For the West wiU not surrender all of Germany into the Soviet sphere of influ ence and the Soviet Union will not surrender the whole of Germany into the Western sphere of influence. Both sides are opposed to a re united Germany which is neu tralized and not in . either sphere of influence. Both sides jrefer the partition of Germany to any alternative which is practical politics. BUT, less than an agreement on a provisional status would be highly inconvenient 41 it Lippmann and dangerous to both sides. For the Russians, the break down of negotiations . would confront them with painful decisions. For it is inconceiva ble, unless they had suddenly gone mad, that they would themselves, or through the East Germans, institute blockade of West Berlin. The Western powers are wholly committed against the possi bility of surrender to a block ade. They would have to resist or to take reprisals, and it is not possible that this is not well known to Mr. Khrushchev. Enough people have told him this. He has moreover, as a lead er, as a matter of fact, never played with fire. He has'never threatened or even hinted at a blockade of Berlin. What he has threatened to do is to make a peace treaty with East Germany giving it the theoretical right to deal with us on German questions in cluding the question of Ber lin. But it is certain that when and if he makes a peace treaty with East Germany, he wiU take care not to let East Ger many do anything provocative which he himself had not de cided to do. East Germany will still be a satellite. Mr. Khrushchev will not give this satellite a free hand. For these reasons, the So viet Union has a real interest in a provisional government. THE West, for its part, is - faced with the fact that West Berlin lies in a strate gic trap, and that its security, including security of access, depends not on any kind of local defense but on the threat of a world war with nuclear weapons. This is far from be ing perfect security. For the guarantee will not operate un less the aggression is big, is unmistakable, and is clearly intended. It would operate against a general blockade. It could not operate against harassment, against bureau cratic delays and an infinite variety of temporary but cost ly and annoying traffic jams, due to "repairs" of the bridges, the railroad and the canals which serve West Berlin. The West, therefore, would also be in a painful position if negotiations for a provision al status were to fail. For the indefinite future the West would be confronted with the problem of how to provide security for West Berlin against measures which are short of nuclear war. This se curity can be provided only by a political and juridical agreement about what it is to be the status of West Berlin pending the reunification of the two- Germanys. rpHE best that can be hoped for at Geneva now is that there will be an agreement in principle, leaving it to ne gotiation at the summit to de termine how the-principle is to be applied.- At the worst, there will be a complete breakdown of negotiations. But if there is such a breakdown, the basic facts of the situation being what they are, neither side will be able to impose its own solution. Ways wiU, therefore, have to be sought of resuming the ne gotiations later on.

Visits. fo Poland Three Years Ago, Now By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor On the morning of Oct. 19, 1956, a furious Nikita Khrush chev stepped from a Rus sian airliner at Warsaw's Airport. " "Who is that?" he de m a n d e d, meaning a slender, sal low - faced man of me dium height Phu Newsom who wore steel-rimmed glasses under a high forehead made more so by a receding hairline. "It is I, Gomulka, the man you sent to jail," -came the calm rejoinder. The immediate fate of Po land hung in the balance that morning. Immediate cause of Khru shchev's -rage was the fact that Gomulka, back in power and "rehabilitated" after four years in jail, had just fired Soviet Marshal ' Konstantin Rokossovsky as police defense minister and declared Po- Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer although nder cer tain circumstances tne use of a pen name nr initial for publica tion is permissible.

I wonder if the flag is stiU there. Is the flag that signifies freedom still flying in our land? Does old glory still mean that we are free people? When last year some 8 mil lion people signed a petition asking for these nerve gas sprays to be stopped from of people for 3 generations, how far did we get? Every day it is used in every direction, over people, garden, livestock and property. The N.F.A. Journal says churches should join in to help stop this from people and little children. In the lat est Journal it tells of two men that died, two more in serious condition, caused by poisoning while dusting cotton.' What about the people? These sprays drift into our homes every day. DDT drifts 30 miles before it aU settles, when air is calm. Dr. Malcolm M. Hargraves, blood specialist of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., swore under oath that leuke mia, anemia,, Hodgkins dis ease, 'jaundice, and many oth er dreaded ailments, can be traced to the use of DDT, when the air - we breathe Is full of these poison sprays.

Julia Grissom, Route 2, ' .Central Point, Ore. Quoth The Raven . . ." To the Editor: When, yes teryear; Edgar Allen Poe was read more widely than today, the anecdote was told of Mrs. New-Rich and her guest book. She had invited a brainy But rather poverty-stricken intel lectual as week end guest at her country estate. She used to brag about haying such relphrities. When she insist ed on his autograph in her guest book, she noticed ne failed to inscribe any compli mentary words under "Re marks." When she called his attention to his omission, he simply wrote the words: Quoth the Raven." Though ravens are never seen in certain areas of Cali fornia, they are common in the Death Valley region. Cali fornia Auduboniers who ven ture abirdihg to" Alaska also fmd them numerous on the beaches up there. At times the beach which exhibits ravens feasting upon the sea's upcast will show also arctic terns, kittiwakes and puffins. Bills of the latter are used bv the Tlingits - in making rattles for babies. The raven is recognized as the most highly developed of aU the birds.. This, whether one ftbserves him in the hot sands of Death Valley, or stealine fiulls eees on the beach afront an Alaska Gla cier, or hopping around on Scotland's purpled heather. Thp raven, with its high intelligence, is as wise a cliff dweUer as our redskins wnose tvnical home is preserved in Mesa Verde National Park. The raven nest is almost al- wavs on a cliffside under a sheltering overhang. That it lays a half dozen eggs indi cates a high annual mortality for this useful carrion eater. Perhaps this is due partially land's right to its own path to socialism. Hungary Revolts A few months earlier, in Moscow, Khrushchev had pro mulgated his famous destalin ization program and opened a Pandora's Box of troubles. Russia's seething satellites were seeing a chance to break free from Moscow's iron rule. In just five days that unrest would blow up into flaming revolt in Hungary. So, it was an harassed and irritable Khrushchev that met Gomulka for the first time that morning. Arms flailing, shouting in sults, - Khrushchev told Go mulka that the Soviet Union had not shed its blood over Poland during World War n to see it snatched away now by an upstart. It is probable that no out sider ever will know for sure the exact course of events which followed in the confer ence between the two at Po land's Parliament House. Khrushchev Retreats One version is that Go; mulka would have lost his head then and there had not a colleague thoughfuUy thrown a cordon of Polish tanks around the building and another had changed the guard at Radio Warsaw. In the end, Gomulka is said to have threatened to go on the air with a broadcast mes sage, telling the Polish peo ple what Khrushchev was de manding and what Gomulka was refusing. Whatever the events, Khru shchev retreated and agreed to a later meeting in Moscow at which Poland's pressing economic needs would be dis cussed. It was a tremendous per sonal victory for Gomulka, who ever since that time has trod the narrow path between the dictates of Moscow and to seasons of food shortage. What, humans could learn from birds as to such prob lems as overpopulation. Faithfully, -C. M. Goethe, Seventh and J sts., Sacramento, Calif. Sales Tax Initiative To the Editor: Do your read ers know that they can write their own tax law? Do they know that they can file an initiative petition on the mat ter of a sales tax for the State of Oregon reducing the state income tax and curtailing the power lof counties to levy a property tax? It only requires 34,000 bona fide registered voters' signa tures by July 7, 1960, to be checked in the office of the various county clerks where the signatures are secured and filed by 5 p.m. with the secre tary of state in Salem. The people have the power to ini tiate their own tax program and can initiate a sales tax by initiative petition exempting food and drugs and reducing the counties' property tax and the state income tax. They could for instance cur tail the counties' power to levy a property tax on the present basis by 70 per cent, for if the sales tax money went for the purposes of edu cation and for welfare, these two things alone take about 70 per cent of the counties' revenue and H a sales tax were passed the county would not need to levy the property tax that it does today. A limitation could be put on the power of the state to levy an income tax. The common laborer and semi-skilled laborer who earns less than $5,000 a year would be benefited by the exemption on food and drugs. ' If the people of the State of Oregon do not write their own tax ; bill it may be that the next session of the legislator will write a gross income tax law. Now is the time to act while we still have approximately one full year to write our own tax measure. If the people in the various communities of the State of Oregon will get together in one giant effort this task can be accomplished and the mea sure put on the ballot in tune for the November 1960 elec tion. If you favor such a sales tax and a reduction in income tax and property tax write to the editor of this paper and let him know your thoughts. The editors want to know what the public pulse is and am sure that they have enough knowledge of the vari ous citizens who could get to gether to make such an initia tive petition a reality. M. A.

Khrushchev Smiles, The events of three years ago were in sharp contrast to those of Tuesday, July 14, when Khrushchev once again stepped from an airliner at Warsaw Airport. This time it was a smiling Khrushchev who told Gomulka: "Your party and ours share the same economic and ideo logical principles, based on socialism, communism and peace." In many ways, Khrushchev had reason to be grateful to Gomulka. In 1956 the Posnan "bread and freedom" riots had erupt ed in protest against harsh Matter of Fact NIXON'S NEW DECISION , Washington-Vice President Richard M. Nixon has pretty well decided not to seek a Ro man Catholic running mate on the Repub lican ticket, if the Democra tic ticket for 1960 includes Sen. John F. Kennedy in ei ther first or second place. jo.ph Aisnp mis aeci- sion amounts to an important change of signals for the Nix on team. Previously, the plan was to match Senator Kenne dy's appeal to his co-religion- lsts by offering the Republi can vice presidential nomina tion to another member of the church. The indicated choice was the able and colorful sec retary of labor, James M. MitcheU, who comes from New Jersey and would also give the Republican ticket a geographical balance. Soundings made for Nixon have just about convinced him, however, that this earlier plan is unworkable and un sound. On the one hand, Ken nedy's appeal is thought to be too strong for competition, among those Catholics whose votes will be influenced by re ligious considerations. On the other hand, it is thought that many other Catholic voters will be alienated, if too trans parent an attempt is made to give the Republican ticket a religious balance. ' NIXON, who admires MitcheU- and is close to him, will seriously consider offer ing the second place to the secretary of labor, if the Dem ocrats reject Kennedy for the presidency and Kennedy in turn rejects the vice presiden tial nomination. Other Catholic Democrats, such as Gov. Pat Brown of California, are not thought to have the, same sort of pulling power that Kennedy has. If one of these others is put on the Democratic ticket, a reli giously balanced Republican ticket is expected to be advan tageous. But Nixon and his strate gists believe that the Demo crats will name Senator Ken nedy to one place or the other, Therefore, they are already looking over the available WASPS-as white Anglo-Sax on Protestants are unpleasant ly called in current political jargon. They speak of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller as a gift from heaven, but a gift which they do not expect to get for obvious reasons.

Po lish intelligentsia was out spoken in its criticism of the Soviet Union. Hungarian style revolt was but a hair breadth away. . Gomulka, emerging as a national hero after his bout with Khrushchev, prevented that sort of bloodshed and by devious routes through the intervening years has been guiding Poland firmly back into the orbit of world com munism. Gomulka, on his side, must have the support of the Soviet Union. On his western flank is a Germany pledged to regain its lost ter ritories taken by Poland be yond the Oder-Niesse. Joseph' Alsep of possible Nixon running mates. ' THE fact that the foregoing is imnortant nnlitiral riv speaks about the trend of our politics in the year 1959. It suggests the self-confidence that currently prevails in the Nixon camp; for it is early days, yet, for a presidential hopeful to be making deci sions about his running-mate. It suggests, too, the preoc cupation with Senator Kenne dy that also prevails in the Nixon camp. This stems from the Massachusetts senator's exceptional ' showing in - the public opinion polls, including certain polls that have been privately taken at the behest oi Vice President Nixon's po litical friends. About all, however, this weighing of the pros and cons of a religiously balanced Re publican ticket suggests the depth of the political change that began with Senator Ken nedy's unsuccessful vice pres idential bid in 1956. Until that moment, neither of the major parties had ever thought of a religiously bal anced ticket. With the excep tion of Alfred E. Smith-an ex ception that seemed to prove the rule-no Roman Catholic had ever been nominated for the presidency or the vice presidency. ' Membership In the Catholic church was held to be a fatal handicap, even for vice presidential aspirants. NOW, however, it Is taken for granted that at least one place on the Democratic tickets will go to a Catholic if not Senator Kennedy, then Governor Brown or some oth er member of the church. Even those Democrats who feel sure their party's presi dential nominee must not be a Catholic, also feel sure that only a Catholic can be named to the vice presidency. By the same token, the most probable Republican Presi dential nominee strongly in clines to a religious balance for his party's ticket, unless the name of Kennedy appears on the Democratic ticket. On ly in that special case, it is thought wiser (if one may be crude about it) to try to gain on the Protestant swings what will be lost on the Catholic roundabouts. In short, the old exclusions are breaking down fast. One must pray that they wiU not be replaced by new exclusions-in-reverse, as would be the case if religiously balanced-national tickets become a oositive and permanent re quirement. But one must also cheer the progress already made. (Copyright 1959, New York Herald Tribune. Inc.) OF INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
