L, : The Presidents Racial Ethic i - President Eisenhower's long-withheld revela tion of his personal convictions about the right ness or wrongness of racial segregation is neither less strange nor more satisfactory than his' long withholding of it. He says he believes segregation morally wrong when it interferes with equal op portunity in political and economic fields. This limitation pointedly omits equality in education, the very field in which the struggle for equal rights for Negroes is now joined. As it stands, therefore, the President's statement may easily do the' cause of integration in the public schools more harm than good. ; MR. EISENHOWER'S explanation of his ethi cal stand on full citizenship for the Negro is so unexplanatory that we can well imagine there will be much more talk about it, including strenuous omciai eiiurt w iciiu ii, cianuv auu lnoif Presidential Press Secretarv James C. Hag- erty will perhaps be thrown into the breach.

Congressional criticisms of the American art exhibit in Moscow are twofold: (1) That many of the artists represented members of Communiit are for other reasons sympathies and (2) that the works themselves are dominated by abstractions and therefore not worthy of display. The stronsr implication is that there is a con nection between the two, that a good red-blooded American likes his art to portray things as they are and that there is something subversive if not downright pro-Communist in works that are not representative. (XNE turns with some set of reproductions at the Soviet, exhibit in New York. Lo, every single one is strictly ; objective, virtually photo graphic in the portrayal of the subject. Some of it is very good, but it is all very conventional. .This is the direct result of a conformity forced by Communist authoritarianism. Hitler, it will be remembered, brought about the same thing in prewar Germany; he was as outspoken against abstraction as is Rep. Walter of Pennsylvania. The critical U. S. congressmen do not appear to realize that their arguments, if carried to the logical end, would lead to a similar bureaucratic imposition of standards lowing of the Communist Party lme. r .

Familiar Face The commonest stamp ever issued in America may soon become a real collector's item. Cigarettes now being packaged will not need the famous revenue stamp that has adorned every pack purchased in the : continental U. S. for 84 years. Thus the little blue stamp bearing DeWitt Clinton's picture will fall into disuse. FEDERAL law has required that users of cigar- ettes destroy the stamps after the cigarettes were used "after," the fine print says, not "be fore." So few' of the stamps are left. And those that are not destroyed, we assume, are illegal. DeWitt Clinton, rather than a more famous American, got his picture on' America's most com mon stamp before it was known that cigarettes would be purchased by the. billion every vyear. Since 1876, when the stamp was first printed, more than 500 billion stamps have been used rjeWITT CLINTON, by 'the way, was mayor of New York City, governor of New York State, and a U. S. senator. He was also a promoter of the Erie Canal. In 1876, when the stamp went into use, Americans were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the canal. So DeWitt Clinton got his picture on the stamp. " But having one's face on a stamp, even on 00 billion stamps, is no guarantee of fame. Most cigarette smokers don't know who DeWitt Clin ton was, and they wouldn't recognize his face on anything but a little blue stamp under the cello phane. Eugene Register-Guard.

J'M THE LITRE goy THE REAL ESTATE GUY TOLD XXI PUNT LIVE 1M THIS NEIGHBORHOOD: 'AtEMSEfZ ? Today & Tomorrow By Walter. CUBA AND COMMUNISM Shortly after Dr. Castro brought his revolution to pow er in Cuba, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Mr. Munoz- Marin, came up to Wash i n g t o n. . He came to give us advice which he was pre - eminent ly qualified to do. For he had Walter lippmann been carrying through successfully a peace able revolution in his own country, he had the personal confidence of the Cuban revo lutionists, and he was and is our very great friend. . Even then, at the beginning, he foresaw the troubles- in Cuba, the stubborn difficulties against which the revolution was waged and which it then inherited, the inexperience and the emotional instability of its fighting leaders.. Whatever you do, he said in effect, do not let yourselves become enemies of this revo lution. For this revolution is the real thing. It is not a mere change of the -guard at the top as is so common in Latin America. This is a popular revolution of the sort which, more than 30 years ago, Mex ico went through, and after years of blood and tears brought to a happy ending. IT REQUIRES great skill to manage our relations with a revolution of this character In a country which is such a very near neighbor. We have to find ways of reconciling our political and economic in terests with a revolution which cannot be stabilized un til the chief grievances which produced the revolution have been redressed. This can be managed only if the American Ambassador in Havana can work out a relationship with the revolutionary leaders in which they will listen to him, and even seek his advice and his help. There is good reason to say that we have such an Ambas sador in Havana, one who is capable of carrying out such a delicate mission, who has, one might say, "good hands" when he rides. But, of course, he has no chance whatever of succeeding if Congress is go ing to roughhouse our rela tions with Cuba, as did the In ternal Security Sub-Committee of the Senate' just 'the oth er day. This was when it pro vided a platform and loud speakers for a disaffected Cu ban adventurer to denounce the Cuban revolutionists ' as Communists. This country, as the President was quick to point out, "has made no such charges." But the damage done by the Sub-Committee's irresponsible meddling may not be repaired easily or quickly . - FHE policy which we are 4- foUowing in Cuba is . to avoid a break with Dr. Castro and to seek more contact with him. This policy is theproduct of years of experience in our relations with the other Am erican states. There is no al ternative to it, given the fact that we have most solemnly renounced the right of inter vention to suppress a revolu tion. In this century, we have committed ourselves repeated ly and wholly to the principle that each country in this hem isphere has the right of self determination. This . carries with it inseparably the right of revolution, and imposes up on us the obligation to live with the revolutions, when they 6ccur, as best we can. ' Beneath these large gener alizations and abstractions, there is the substantial fact that in this century, which is seeing the awakening of the submerged masses of man kind, the old style of imperial Lippmann ism and overlordship is not only morally unacceptable but is practically impossible. To put it specifically and bluntly. the United States' could not in stall a puppet to govern Cuba in place of Dr. Castro and his revolutionists. The United States must, therefore, do what it can to keep on good terms with Dr. Castro and his successors. ,.' rpHERE are those who think -- differently. They see Dr. Castro going far to the left in the company of a number of fellow - travelers of the Communists. They think the way to deal with what they see is to denounce the fellow- travelers as Communists, even as Soviet agents, and to de nounce Dr. Castro who tole rates and associates with fel low-travelers as himself a fel low-traveler and virtually a Communist. What good will it do, I would like to know? The result of such tactics will not be to cause Dr. Castro and the f eUow-travelers to aban- don their revolutionary pro gram. It will be to cause them to regard us as -their enemy, and to become as thoroughly anti-American as they dare to be. The wiser course and the more practical one is to be patient and relaxed - to re member that Cuba is .our near neighbor and is far beyond the reach of the Soviet Uftion. Remembering this, we can re ly ultimately on the high im probability that Cuba will drift or be pushed and pulled into the Soviet orbif. -.. Just as it was a great mis take to treat Egypt under Col. Nasser as a Soviet satellite, so it would be an even greater mistake even to intimate that Castro's Cuba has any real prospect of becoming a Soviet satellite. FOR the thing we should never do in dealing with the revolutionary countries in which the world abounds is to push them behind an iron cur tain raised by ourselves. On the contrary, even when they have been seduced and sub verted and. are drawn across the line, the right thing to do is to keep the way open for their return. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERF r' IS THE BELIEF of the legendary Gene Fowler, author and newsman, that the. most important thing a young, would-be journalist can learn is how to pad an expense account so ex pertly that the most sus picious managing editor will O.K. it." "Many a fine ward robe and fully stocked li quor closet," maintains Gene, "has been the reward of a finagler who knew just when and how to submit a phony expense tab." Fowler's rep was so well established in his salad days on a New York paper that when an explosion was heard rocking . Jersey, a frightened executive stuck his head out of his private office and cried, "Don't send Fowler across the river to cover that story. He31 buy the ferry boat!"

Matter of Fact By Joseph AIsop SOURCES OF ARROGANCE Washington - Andrei Gro- myko's behavior at Geneva of fers added proof of a deeply disturbing the- o ry recently developed b y the American i n t e 1 ligence analysts. The theory is, in brief .that Nik ita S. Khrush chev is now inflated with arrogance, be- Joseph Alsop cause of a genuine Deiiei ia Soviet military superiority. Only the least rigid minds in the Pentagon accept this theory, because the great ma jority of U.S. military lead ers have their eyes whoUy fix ed "on the vast power of the U. S. Strategic Air Command. They cannot see further than SAC's- magnificent striking force, with its back-up of enough H-bombs to destroy the whole world. . " One of the ugly facts they refuse to face is SAC's heavy operational dependence on ov erseas bases. Now that those bases are covered by Soviet medium range ballistic mis siles at least half SAC's strik ing power has been effective ly neutralized. . rpHIS fairly recent and very I A , . I 41 ill -- greai cnange iu uie limi tary situation must be the immediate cause of the change in Khrushchev. But even aft er neutralizing half of SAC's striking power, how can Khrushchev face the terrible remainder' with apparent con fidence? According to the analysts, the answer lies in a sharp dif ference between the Soviet and American opinions of the value of air defense. Domi nant U. S. Air Force thinking has always downgraded air defense in an extraordinary manner. The former Chief of Air Staff, Gen. Hoyt S. Van-denberg,- on one occasion ac tually charged that pressures for construction of an Ameri can air defense system origi nated in an evil Communist plot. The Soviet military men, uv contrast, plainly set a high value on air defense.' The proof is the remarkable fact that an average of about one- fifth of the huge Soviet mili tary budget has been devoted to this purpose in all the years since the end of the last war. THESE enormous outlays have included some we should regard as relatively foolish, such as the . massive investment in the. anti-aircraft artillery which is still thickly emplaced around the major Russian cities. Yet the Soviet Air Defense Command, or PVO, is an exceptionally for midable military instrument as it exists today. , Its far - spreading warning system is equipped with ra dars rather better than those in the American DEW line. Its fighter defense units com prise 8,000 or more Mig-17s, Mig-21s, and Flashlight night fighters, the Flashlights carry ing heat-seeking missiles like the American sidewinders. At this season, also, the day fighters that make up ' more than two-thirds of the force, are easily usable at night, since a fighter vectored above the ground can see its target in the short, pale summer nights of Russia. The outer defenses provided by the fighter squadrons are in turn backed up, arqund the more vital targets like Mos cow, by bristling local defense complexes comprising a n t i aircraft ballistic missiles com parable to our Nike Hercules, some with probably nuclear war heads, plus a portion of the fighters and the A. A. ar tillery above mentioned. ' FINALLY, the .whole com mand is absolutely unified, as ours is not. Most signifi cantly,' the PVO's Command ing General - is an artillery man. Marshal S. S. Baryusov, from whom the Commander of the air units, Col. Gen. Kli mov, takes his orders. The training of Marshal Baryusov is significant, sim ply because no artilleryman in any army has ever been known to admit' that he was unable to 'shoot any airplane that flew. In addition, there is the sheer weight of military investment for which Marshal Baryusov is personally re sponsible. It is not easy to imagine a Soviet officer whose command has absorbed one-fifth of the entire Soviet defense budget admitting that the whole in vestment was a footling waste. After so much expenditure, he really cannot say that his command is incapable of do ing its assigned job. Especial ly after the neutralization of SAC's overseas bases, Marshal Baryusov really must claim that he can blunt any SAC strike to the required degree. Add that Khrushchev is far more likely to accept Marshal Baryusov's opinion than the opinion of Gen. Curtis LeMay. Add further that Khrushchev was quite possibly assigned responsibility for missile de velopment, when Stalin made Lavrenti Beria atomic czar and Georgyi Malenkov Chair man of the Air Policy commis sion. Add finally that this as signment, if it took place, would have distorted Khrush chev's estimate of SAC just as much as Barysov's artillery training. The sum of the - addition shows the sources of the arro gance Khrushchev is display ing. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribuna Inc. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Vice - President Nixon ar rives in Moscow for an 11-day goodwill visit to Russia. He is greeted by Moscow Radio charges that "certain persons in the United States are trying to force their dictates on the whole world." He replies: "The state of affairs be tween the . United States and Russia is grim. 'But I pledge myself to help achieve better understanding because we have reached the point where WE MUST EITHER LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER OR WE WILL DIE TOGETHER." TN THIS first skirmish of words, I think our Vice- President held his own. "pROM Cuba: Havana, a city of more than a million people, and all the rest of Cuba were para' lyzed for one hour by a strike caUed by . Cuban organized labor to demand the return of Fidel Castro to power. Roadblocks were erected throughout the city to prevent movement of any traffic and the quiet was broken only by the conversation of workers idling in the streets and spor adic parades of individuals de manding that Castro return to power. pUDEL ' CASTRO is an en- easing young man. In nis appearance last spring before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, he made an excellent impression on his hearers. Many competent ob servers believe he is sincerely trying to "bring greater free dom and opportunity to the Cuban people. All of us HOPE that is true. But This exhibition of FORCE is so characteristic of communist methods throughout the world that it shakes our confidence in the purity of his motives. T ETS TURN to pleasanter subjects. ' A State of Jefferson girl - Miss Terry Lynn Huntingdon, of Mt. Shasta - wins the titie of MISS AMERICA. That offsets a lot of gloom in the news. T AKE COUNTY, on the Charles Crump place be tween Adel and Plush (within easy reach of Highway 395) brings in a geyser that in the picture at lehst. looks as spec tacular as Old Faithful. The excellent suggestion has been made thafa state park should be created in the area sur rounding it. A thought: A million tourist cars pass through Southern Oregon and Far Northern California every year. Each car, according "to the, best information obtain able,, spends yabout $20 per day. If we could stop each of these million cars ONE DAY LONGER it would mean the addition of 20 million dollars to the economy of our region. mHE PROBLEM is to STOP A them. Stopping them for another day or so requires something spectacular. What would be more spectacular than a grand new geyser in the ruggedly beautiful Adel Plush sector of Lake county? rpHE NAME ADEL has been J- too much for most of the newspapers reporting the new geyser. So their copyreaders have changed it to ABEL. Lewis McArthur,' in his in dispensable Oregon Place Names, says it was named by Bert Sessions, the first owner Communications Basin Question To the Editor: Even though a comparative new comer to the valley, I am compelled to write about this Rogue river basin question. Your editori als show you to be a man of perception and long-range vi sion, however your readers do not seem to agree with you on all points. I emigrated to Med ford several months ago from Los Angeles, however I love it here and am still enough of a Calif ornian to be aware of its shortcomings and the prob lems arising. : The petty monopoly exer cised by your local power com pany is insupportable. The people are being bled to death, i It is like being invaded by J vampires, who take, the life blood while the victim sleeps. lnis country is poor, not only poor, but hopeless. The faces of the people as winter approaches is a pitiful sight. It is imperative that the Rogue river basin project be accomplished through a fed eral agency, not, a small' up start company working for the benefit of itself. The natu ral resources of this valley need nurturing and conserv ing. As you pointed .out. the salmon runs are becoming smaller as years go by, how ever with proper flood and drainage control that problem will solve itself. I mention the salmon because it is. being used as a bone of contention by a small group of "sports men." ' Secondary to the wishes of these "sportsmen" are the neeas oi tne larmers, what a blessing to have the Rogue harnessed, made useful in stead of something to be fear ed every -winter. Think of the pleasure to one and all of ree reational areas for everyone, boating, fishing, and swim ming, plus the additional joy of being able to enjoy them through the lowering of their eiectric bills. That is not as , far-fetched as it sounds. In most budgets the amount left over after ne cessities dictates the recrea tion for the family. Not only that, but a lowering of the rates would admit egress to electronic plants, which would insure year-round employment to many women and assure her of food on the table all winter long.' Oregon is . still a pioneer state, as is usual i in most "youngsters", it is waiting to be told what to do.: Please. don't listen to these so called sportsmen and their I z a a k Walton Leagues. Just because they make the most noise, does not mean they are right. Thank you so much for letting, me voice my opinion to you, but my life m Los An geles has taught me some of the pitfalls that lie ahead for this lovely valley; all I can do is keep talking and writing, I am very happy to see that I am not alone in this endeavor, Inez Holcomb P.O. Box 145, Medford, Ore. Where's Stage? To the Editor: Just received by mail copies of the Jack sonville "Gold Rush Gazette" announcing the 1959 Gold Rush Jubilee Aug. 1- and 2. We failed to see any men tion of a "stage coach special" for carrying passengers to and from. Jacksonville during the Centennial celebration. There are a number of erst while prospectors, miners and pocket hunters who now live around Medford that do not own a mule, horse or burro, like in their younger days when a 'walk of only 4 miles, as the. old saying goes, vas not crowded. The only time I. rode 'the Jacksonville, traction steam rail line from Medford to Jacksonville made me think of an ocean wave and riding the swells on a high set for 30 minutes. Now all is left is a memory and a plaque. Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman st., Medford, Ore. Recommendations To The Editor: With all this buck passing about our Rogue river salmon, I would like to make a few recommendations that should help re-establish our salmon in the Rogue: 1. Stop all chinook fishing on 'June 1 above Hells Gate bridge. While some of the chi nooks taken in this vicinity after the above date are edi ble, the majority of them are not used for human consump tion. It should be remembered that each of the old female of the land, for a former sweetheart. PLUSH, according to Mc Arthur, was named for a local Indian celebrity who was a member of the Piute tribe. His name resulted from a poker game he got into. The game was a frame-up. The Piute was dealt a flush by another player who dealt himself a better flush! The be wildered native couldn't pro nounce FLUSH and called it PLUSH. He is alleged to have added: "Him hot damn stuff." Anyway, the town has come down through history as Plush.

Make the legal limit five chinook salmon. Put into ef fect a tag deal the same as we now have on deer. (Ap parently there are more deer along the upper section of the Rogue than there are chinooks in the Rogue). 3. Set up strict controls on chinook salmon fishing, the same as deer. Put teeth in the regulations and stop some of the game-hogs. It just doesn't se$m possible thai the present limits of salmon could be con sumed by any one family and while there are plenty of fish ers that do not connect, there are a few that more than limit out their cards by not proper ly filling out the card. Check conditions at the mouth of the Rogue especially on the spring fishing and see hog-line tactics and their type of sportsman ship. M. H. Williams, Shady Cove. :.
