This paper accounts itself a supporter of con servation measures. It approves of fishing and, in general, fishermen. It believes that the nation is in danger of having too many of its most valu able natural resources, ery, damaged beyond repair. , But, all the same, we are getting pretty dog gone tired of the fact a tmy minority are playing dog m the man ger and holding up benefits for a whale of a lot of other people. TPHESE thoughts came " about the statements of the U.S. fish and wildlife service about the corps of engineers' proposals for Rogue Basin development. He was quoted as saving: That the main stem Rogue River dam pro posed at Lost Creek would cut off an estimated 8 per cent of the spring and summer chinook salmon run. . That the service not this portion of the anmciai metnoas. That as a result a main stem dam because a chance" on losing this OELLS bells and little Let's have a few Roberts : How do you KNOW saved, even with a dam? periments in fish propagation and transportation over dams your service has been bragging about?

And how many fishermen would gain recreation from the reservoirs proposed? How many boatmen? How many campers and picnickers? How much property would be saved if the Rogue basin proposals are followed, the dams built, and another flood like '55 comes along? How many lives saved? How much will the f isheiy in the Applegate be improved by the Copper dam you say you like a dam which is an integral part of 'the overall plan? Would it equal that 8 per cent loss? QNE might even get a little more pointed as to the questions : Like this one : If there were 43,429 chinook counted in 1942 : 44,000 in 1947; 33,000 1958: how long is this fishery going to last, any way?

They haven't received them yet. E.A. Civil Defense Changing Ever since the end of World War n, and more particularly after the advent of the "Cold War," there has been talk about "Civil Defense." There has also been a great apathy and lassi tude on the part of, people generally about it. About the only ones who did much about it were those dedicated souls who maintained the "skywatch" stations, until that chore was taken over by military radar. . . A few others were assigned jobs in CD, and some of them actually worked at it. DUT by and large, the general populace could 1J n't care less. They refused to belive that an annihilating war could come, or that there was much they could do about it if it did. For years, CD plans were based on nuclear attack, and the evacuation of. cities. Jackson county was organized as an evacuation center. But with the advent of missiles, thinking about problems of civil defense have changed. Could a city the size of Portland be evacuated in the few minutes warning it might have? Any one who has seen the jam-up of cars on a holi day week end, with only a fraction of the popu lation leaving, knows the answer is "No." TASK force headed by Nelson Rockefeller has now issued a report which putsthe em phasis on home shelters, not evacuation. If you're hit by a H-bomb, you're dead. If not, your biggest threat is from radioactive fall out. Therefore, have a home shelter which will Erotect you and your family from fire, secondary last, and, most important, radioactivity. It is barely possible that this approach, offer ing something tangible and realistic, and some thing each family can do, will have results in civil preparedness which the vast ideas of city evacuation never did.

WILSON Washington (LPU-lnis is a re-play of some advice which was unheeded some months ago when the Senate was tinkering with the idea of. a clean up job on the U.S election proc ess. The Sen ate is about to I TX I tinker again, i DUt no much.. Lyle C. Wilson me a a v l c e was that interested Senators consider the Representation of the People Acts which govern British elections. Brit ish rules are strict. More im portant, they are enforced. British socialists wrote RPA in 1948-49. British conserva tives and liberals cheerfully accepted restrictions which would shock the ringmasters of American politics. The shock would be equally great to a political, boss, a labor boss or a billionaire. No Loans Allowed Use of automobiles to haul British voters to and from the polls is limited. There is a top limit on spending. A candidate may not treat a voter. No campaign cigars. The smallest loan -made in good faith by a candidate to a voter would be cause for disqualification if, by chance, a British election were called within six months of the .loan transaction. Anyone may take members of his household by automobile to the polls, but he may not offer a neighbor such a lift. Autos Limited A candidate's campaign manager or agent may regis ter before polling day a fixed number of automobiles to transport voters, one for every 2,500 voter in a city, one for every 1,500 in the . country. A car which has mechanical trouble on polling day may not be replaced. One of the penalties for breaking some of these cam paign and election day rules is disqualification for the can didate and punishment for his campaign agent. The agent is responsible for his man's con formity with the rules. An agent may practice after ab sorbing a course in election law and obtaining a certifi cate of proficiency. Voter Has Protection A candidate may spend $280 of his personal funds in his personal campaign. The agent may spend between $1,600 and $1,800, depending on the constituency and that is all. The candidate is disqualified if his agent spends more than that.

"The new fad in diplomacy," observes Bill Vaughan, "is to release the text of the international communication before it is sent.

It has been a long, long time since any British ballot boxes have been tam pered with or stolen, espe cially from official premises, all of which, and more, has happened in the United States more recently. Goons Would Be Jailed If a labor goon or a big business goon or any goon showed up around a British polling place, he would be chucked in jail; another switch on U.S. election habits. Mainspring of - the Repre sentation of the People Acts probably is the designation of responsible individuals in each election contest. The re sponsible persons are . the agents of the contending can didates. Part of their job is to prevent violations of the strict rules imposed by RPA. Perhaps that much of the British system would work here. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Mr. K., speaking to a throng of delegates at a meeting of mmers unions in the Polish town of Sosnowiec, says: "I give you our solemn pledge that never, never, NEVER shall we launch ANY war " against ANY country ANYWHERE at ANY time.

Our President does not shoot at the moon, but he keeps in practice.

J-ville hwy, Medford Red Infiltration To the Editor: Some weeks ago Columnist Lyle' Wilson accused the U.S. people of 'fat-head complacency' in re gard to communistic inroads here in America. Just what Mr. Wilson wished or expect ed us to do is hard to know, We might emulate Latin America or the Middle East, where they resort to mob ac tion in busting windows, throwing stones at wno or whatever is handy, and rais ing hell in general when they become dissatisfied with the status 'quo. But it so Happens our way of life here does not include that, at least not very much thanks be. We proceed to write a letter to the editor or -to our representatives in Congress that generally fails of any violent reaction, save for the writer of such being looked on as some sort of crack-pot, especially when it clashes with popular-line-of- thought. Just what has Writer Wilson done to throw light on the in roads communists have made in our labor unions? Our very serious union labor troubles seem to be quite a hot--tato with Mr. Wilson and other column writers. About the time Mr. Wilson was making said remark, a publication was doing something about it. da-which is one of the curses of the world.

Now he was commemorat ing his revolution and he had his standard reply for hecklers in his audience who shouted: "Death to traitors." "The law and the state," he said,- "are responsible for judging people." Will Be Seen How Kassem himself will be judged still remained to be seen. . That he remained alive and in office after a year of plots and counter-plots was in it self no mean accomplishment. More time was needed to learn whether he would, -As the West feared, prove to be a perhaps unwitting tool of communism. -As his detractors charged, turn out to be a dreaming idealist but a weak and vacil lating leader, or, -As he -saw himself, be a leader caring for his "five mil lion children" through a tran sition period with ihe end re sult that "the people will be 'No Servants' Among Enlisted Men; They're 'Personal Staff By FRANK ELEA2ER Washington -(UPD- Thank goodness weve got it straight ened out now about those en listed men who cook, make beds, baby:sit 4j ana mow grass ior tne gener als. It turns out they aren't really serv ants at all. They are pro fessional men in pursuit of Frank Eieuer tneir careers. Assistant Defense Secretary Charles C. Finucane cleared it all up Thursday for House Armed Services subcommittee which had been a little upset It was mostly a misundertand ing, apparently, and we re porters, as usual, were large ly to blame. Wrong Word Used "It is one thing to refer to an individual as a member of a personal staff or as per forming personal services, and quite another thing to refer to him in the capacity of a servant," Finucane explained. "The use of proper termi nology will serve to clarify statements appearing in the press recently concerning the number of individuals serv ing on personal staffs." In the first place, said the assistant secretary, it says right in the law that 'no offi cer of the Army may use an enlisted member of the Army as a servant." So obviously such practices wouldn't be tol erated. Of course, "personal staffs" are provided for certain gen erals and admirals, and for a limited number of colonels and captains. Members of these staffs, erroneously pic tured heretofore as houseboys and yardmen and the like, ac tually are relieving our busy officers of "numerous admin istrative chores," associated The U.S. News and World Re port conducted a survey of the burgeoning steel issue by interviewing a hundred or more of steel-workers in their homes, on the job and in the poor-mans club, the popular beer tavern. Practically 100 per cent of the steel-workers were against any raise m wages or strike to obtain such Their reason? Every time they got a raise, prices of things they had to buy edged up so that the raise helped them not at all and never did recoup the losses sustained in the strike. - How about the wild-cat strikes by steel workers? A disgusted traveler from that troubled land seeking a new home in the west, tells me that every one of such wild cat strikes are red inspired, generally with knowledge and help from union heads to jus tify their demands for a strike. But the most telling part of the U.S. News and World interview was that not one oi tne steel worxers would or did reveal their name, which was reason enough for their saying that they would go on strike if so ordered.

Dust Over Baghdad Desert dust hangs in a red haze over Baghdad and to it in the last year has been added the dust of untended streets and of half-demolished buildings which in some areas give Baghdad the looks of a bombed city. The half-demolished build ings are mementos of a gran diose betterment scheme first undertaken by the now-dead King Faisal and his premier, Nuri-Es-Said. It was a scheme which call ed for new, broad boulevards, for village projects to aug ment peasant incomes, for fac tories, dams and irrigation. Kassem's government has taken over the plans almost in their entirety but in the last year there has been no progress. Kassem himself says he , with their important posi- tions. Finucane was unhappy about the unfortunate impres sion apparently held by some people that "these types of occupations are in some de gree degrading." He said the fact is that "millions of Amer ican citizens make honorable and self-satisfying careers of these very professions." Subcommittee chairman Melvm Price (D-Ill.) com mended Finucane for his "very clear" explanation However, there was one hard to-please member. "How many stewards are there assigned to the chief of naval operations?" demand ed Rep. Frank Kowalski (D- Conn.), a former enlisted man, West Point graduate, and ca reer officer, who first aired the ugly charge that GI's by the thousands were working as servants. Kowalski Has Answer Finucane didn't know. Ko walski said the number was six. The congressman said three stewards each' also were as signed to some other admirals here. What do they do? He wanted to know. Finucane said they maintain Washington Report By WILLIAM S. WHITE CANTER TO GALLOP Washington Vice President Richard, M. Nixon will soon quicken to a gallop his pres ently canter ing pace in his race for the 1960 Presiden- tial nomina tion. 1 4 The Nixon -J people are pre paring ior tne Vice President an autumn it inerary of ap pearances at important points around the country which will have a peculiarly critical quality. It will not, of course, be billed as a pre-Presidential tour; but that is what it is in tended to be. The set purpose is to get Mr, Nixon into fast motion early and with a frankness that is unusual for a year ahead of national convention time. The aim is this: To frighten to the rail, and clear off the course any dark horse that might be named Rockefeller. TO ABANDON the horsy metaDhors so dear to Doli- ticians (and political writers), the Nixon people now really hope to win the contest this year, in all but form, rather than next. They believe: 1. That any polite hanging- back by Mr. Nixon, in defer ence to the tradition that no one must admit early that he really would like to be Presi dent, would be quite foolish this time. 2. That current events and circumstances have put the Vice President in a position of great relative strength.' Now is the time, they reckon, to be? gin to' exploit that strength with no nonsense. It is not only the public- opinion polls that are current- ly making Mr. Nixon look good to many Republicans. There are also these things: His increasing importance in foreign policy, as evidenced by his coming mission to Mos cow. His very useful relations with a Republican National Committee that is "neutral" neutral, that is, for Richard M. Nixon. His association with the generally successful "econo my" drive. William S. White wants more jobs, more houses, more hospitals, more schools for his people. Details for Ministers The dreams are his, but the details for his ministers to carry out. And his ministers have come and gone in such a parade they scarcely had time to get acquainted with their underlings, let alone have time for solid accom plishment. . ? Iraq has all the resources of mideastern wealth-land, oil and water. It is the world's sixth largest oil producer and, even in revolution, its cur rency has remained among the soundest in the Middle East Kassem has said he wants peace in the Middle East and that he is a believer in the United Nations. ' Until recent weeks, he en joyed full support of the Com-' munists. But now they . are getting restless and may be lieve his usefulness to them is about at an end. When they decide that, some- of the ques tions about Kassem will be decided. the public quarters in which the admirals live. Kowalski said his inquiry shows they maintain the quar ters by making the admirals beds, cooking and serving their meals, sweeping their floors, and scrubbing their toilets. How much do these serv ants cost the taxpayer?" Ko walski demanded. "We have no servants in the military," Finucane re sponded. Only Covers 2.070 , As for "personal staffs," he indicated they can't cost very much, because only 2,070 sol diers, sailors and airmen are so assigned, all over the world. Kowalski thought the key word here was "assigned." He wondered how many more GI's, carried on the books as clerk-typists or tank drivers, actually just work for gen erals. I Finucane said he resented this deeply. By now it was close to I p.m., and the subcommittee quit for lunch. I guess Finu cane's party planned to eat at the officers' mess at the Pent agon. Anyway, two chauf feured cars were wating to take them away. THE wider understanding of him being created by re porter Earl Mazo's excellent and thoroughly responsible biography, "Richard Nixon." The book is no syrupy cam paign document But precisely because it is honest, it neces sarily highlights the Vice President's best quality, his competence, though not hid ing his worst, his occasional partisan savagery. The soundness of the new strategic determination of the Nixon forces to try to grasp the prize this year hardly seems open to question. A plan showing of great Nixon popularity among organization Republicans this Fall could do even more than convince Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York not to challenge the Vice President for the top place. Conceivably it might even cause him to accept second place on that dream of true blue - Republicans, a Nixon Rockefeller ticket for 1960. HE Nixon men in many cases are the same men whose choice in 1952, the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, went down before General Eisen hower in the Presidential con vention. Among their painful memories is an awareness that they waited too late to push Taft all-out. No such mistake will be made this time, not even in the South, where GOP convention votes are often worth more than GOP votes in the election. ' Indeed, some senior Nixon associates see the South as his area of greatest potential dang er at the convention, simply because that region has been aided so long by Rockefeller family benefactions. There, will, therefore, be special ef forts to seal off the South from any Dro-RoJcefeller forays. But Iicre alone the national pattern of the Nixon pre-con-vention campaign will be broken. For the present plan is to have Mr. Nixon's claims pre sented there not by himself but by others. The fact that he is no public hero in the South is frankly faced. This, is one section he is unlikely to enter this fall. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) t
