It's too soon to say, of course. And the cold war itself has had so many zigs and zags, so many ups and downs, thateven if there is a "thaw," it could be only temporary. It is difficult to forget the suspicions of Rus sia which have built up, solidly and deeply, throughout this nation over the past decade. Many of them have been based on demonstrable facts. - pRANK Jenkins, elsewhere in today's paper, 1 asks "what do we have to lose?" in the ex change of visits. Well, quite a bit, really, if things turn but badly such things as the respect of neutral nations and allies, an position, and other important intangibles. But, also, there is much to be gained if the visits p-o well. An easing of tensions, a growing of mutual understanding, a tacit much the two nations may compete they will not do so in the nuclear battle these are potential gains. If they materialize they will be well worth any risk involved. JF THERE is one thing about the. United States of America which makes it great, it is the fact that we have an "open" society, a civilization in which the entire citizenry knows, more or less, what is going on, can think about it, talk about it, and come to conclusions based on knowledge. This is, perhaps, the greatest contrast between us and the "closed" societies of the Iron Curtain, where the "information" the people receive is spoon-fed them by a Big Brother government. In the short run, perhaps, the "closed" society makes for quick decision and effective action. But in the long run, the "open" society has far the greater strength, for its people act from con viction, rather than by rote and order. IF KHRUSHCHEV learns this fact, it could lead to all sorts' of interesting and exciting things. The mere fact that Vice President Nixon was enabled to speak to millions of Russians on a tele vision broadcast, and to criticize their govern ment in a way the audience had never heard be fore, is remarkable. How much more this breach in the curtain majr be widened by the visit of our president, fol lowing the Soviet Premier's tour of this country. There is evidence that a new social revolution is quietly under way in the U.S.S.R., a revolution which is, in effect, creating a new literate "mid dle class of scientists, educators and public serv ants, a sine qua non for Anything which can ed" society a shove toward "openness" cannot but be of long-range benefit to the free world and to hopes for eventual peace. E.A. On Safety and Luxury The manufacturer of one of the luxurious "middle price" automobiles recently, in conduct ing a survey 01 consumer likes and dislikes, "loaned" us one of their new models to try out. 1 here were no strings attached, no commit ments, but we were asked to drop a note to the company, letting them know what we liked and what we didn't about the new car. It was, for us, quite trast (between the big, powerful car, and the ratker down-at-heels station wagon we are used r - i it 10, was consiaeraDie. THE experience came ibUvtuig CHI GUlCUHtVl 111 LUC UUgCUC -LVCglOlCl - Guard which was dedicated to the proposition that new cars are perhaps "too" perfect. It said: "Automobiles are designed to 'feel safe.' The driver, cushioned by springs and shock absorbers, does not 'feel the road.' Power steering renders him insensitive to bumps. He buzzes along, encased in a couple of tons ' ste,el and glass, without the feeling 'that he's in mortal . danger. His machine runs itself, shifting its own gears, following the contour of the country, all without much help from him. All he has to do is to keep his foot on the gas. A driver with any intelligence gets bored by this process. So he thinks of something else, engaged in that practice known as 'woolgathering' ..." THAT'S part of it. Driving IS perhaps made too easy for safe ty. But we do not f oresee.the day when automo bile manufacturers deliberately will make it more difficult to drive. Americans like luxury, and-they like ease, and, other things being equal, the easy way to do things. From a purely economic standpoint, we won der if oneTeason for the marked trend away from the bigger, more expensive cars is hot be cause of some of the things that go to make that expense. , . ' . . pOR instance, in the gar we drove, there must have been more than a dozen electric motors to power the windows, steering, brakes, starter, seat and ventilators. Now it's nice to have all these things done at the flick of a finger. But on the other hand, elec tric motors, and the associated mechanisms, cost monay. And whether the extra amount can be justified in the mind of a payment-conscious pur chaser is something he alone can decide. This, we suspect, is one of the major reasons that the small European cars have had such fabu lous success in American markets in recent years not to mention the success of the Rambler, the Studebaker Lark, and the fact that all of the "Big Three" auto manufacturers plan to bring . ! . .

The Mail Tribune reserves the right tc edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the ea. Reminiscences To the Editor: Well, it's somewhat of a let-down the mornin' after to get back to the hum-drum of ways and work for survival after all the fun and flourish at Jackson ville's reincarnation of fron tier days of long ago, especial ly to some of ,us old-timers, who got some of it first-handed, sometimes too much so that we'd rather forget it. But the warmth of the big-fisted handshake still lingers as we discussed the fixings of a Beards Unanimous to help each other resist the jeers, jabs and jibes of the often en vious who lacked the courage to keep their God-given whis kers where they orter be. For we must remember that it was our bearded fore-bears (and some looked the part) who laid the enduring foundations that made this country great and we of the bearded tribe intend to keep it just that way. But the big credit must go to the Jacksonville Lions club and all those who joined in to make it the enjoyable success it was, so free of rowdy drunks, the concessions weU conducted that had to be there for those with a yen to risk their money for big ideas as some sort of profit to help restore the old U. S. hotel, to have and to hold the lived memories of it and the other historic buildings that by some miracle are still there, mute evidence of the rparin' gold-rush days. And the sight of be-whiskered M-C Jameson straddling mike staff as he warned gaping bystanders away from squaring off gun men from the nearby Dead wood saloon, so reminiscent of Dangerous Dan McGrew times, that was so well-done he had many of us up on our hind legs with craning necks for a few excitedly fleeting moments. It . chased our memories back nigh a half century to the all-too-real tragic happen ings of the old "cow counties" in the Okanogan of Washing ton's last horse stagecoach days. And farther back to the opening of the Rosebud (South Dakota) Indian reservation to settlers, the shooting down of squawman outlaw Jack Sully that all of us welcomed, but his gun-toting half-breed sons were of worried concern to us workers and settlers who could not decide if best to pack a holstered six-gun or go unarmed. And farther to the swift ivory handled 44s stem ming from the killing of a Texas deputy by .one from New Mexico that found the writer in the ignoble position on hands and knees in the last few feet to safety. Aye, them were the days and it's still a mystery how we survived, even to keeping free of the jail-house. F. J. Clifford, Route 2, Box 200-F, Central Point. Aids Homeless Children To the Editor: Since I have many interested friends and some .customers in Medford, I feel it might be wise to ex plain a little about my project in making a home for children who need my help. Of the 36 children I have had a part in raising, besides my own six, only seven or eight have had any support, other than what I could give them. So I have sold, or otherwise earned money off and on, through the years, to fill in the extra need. ."Mom" Lee's Shop, on the Plaza, in Ashland, is my present way of earning a liv ing, and providing a home for the orphans God has given me to support, as well as my own two remaining girls. I deeply appreciate what a few of my Medford friends have done in contributing clothing, dishes, books, furni ture, etc., to my shop, for me to sell for this cause. Since I have felt God would have me give my time, my acreage, and any money I can earn, I have not felt hesitant about accepting anything interested friends have kindly given. As God makes it possible for me to support them without using money I owe someone else, more and more familyless children will be added to my brood. I have made a large, clean, safe playroom, at the Shop, so my children can be with me while I make a living for them. Then we close at 5:30 and go home. I expect to spend the rest of my life in this, as I have done all the years past.. That is the reason I felt it wise to put my acre age, which represents my por tion of worldly , goods, into a non-profit corporation, so that what I own when I am through, can go on for a home for the homeless. Anyone who feels God would have them help in this project can make checks payable to Chapel In The Pines, Inc., and the board will decide how to make your tax-deductible gift do the most good in helping these precious little ones. If you would like to see what God has 4one thus far, on the acreage we gave to Him for this purpose, please write, or call MU 2-3611 and make an appointment. Thanks again to all who have had a part in helping me in my effort to make a home for "the least of these." Oletha M. Abbott. Whispering Pines Child Haven 1 P. O. Box 165, Ashland, Ore.

HILDA BROUGHTON, whom I encountered on "What's My Line" recently, has one of the oddest occupations in the country. She counts fish! From a special spot along the Co lumbia River in Oregon, Mrs. Broughton counts for the TJ. S. Government the number of shad, sturgeon, and salmon that pass by the Dallas Dam on their way to upstream spawning grounds. In one exceptionally busy day, Mrs. Broughton count ed over 8,000 fish swimming busily upstream! One day she even saw a wild duck paddling. through the locks, but didn't bother to count it, The Government uses Mrs, Broughton's tabula tions to determine the length of the commercial fishing season. ..:.., Sign at a heated pool in the Catskills: "Lady guests are requested not to bother the lifeguard unless drowning."

Most of this dust comes from the op eration of the' Rogue River Paving company. This has been an exception ally clean area to live in until this year, and we would like to see it clean again. We have been trying for two months to get something done toward cleaning it up. First several of us contacted the owners, with no noticable result. Then a month ago we requested help from the state air pollu tion authority. They may be able to help us but it is a very slow process and in the mean time we are forced to go on breathing this sooty dust lad en air. The cleaning problem is terrifi'i and the children and pets look like smudge season compounded.- Before this happened I, in common with most people, thought air pollution regula tions were a good idea so long as I didn't have to stir myself about it, but an experience like this soon convinces you that if we value our commu nity it had better be every body's business. Today it is us, tomorrow it may be you. We need legal machinery to put an immediate halt to any operation which is an obvious nuisance. If we "'ad regula tions whose teeth bit today in stead of next month or a year from now, people wouldn't even start an operation unless it conformed to the Jaw. As it is they can apparently count on operating a season at least before anything much is done If we don't get busy and do something about the smoke situation in our valley we are not going to be able to see our beautiful mountains even dim ly through the smoke as we do now.

I've heard of Mighty Casey at Bat, But he was not knocking monkeys, at that. Betwixt you and me and the old gate post, I can't tell which is.kwazy the most. But one thing sure, there'll ne'er be a time When a monkey will sit down and type out a rhyme. Please, Mr. Editor, you must know best. Let's give the whole shebang a rest. -Yours inclusively, L. G.

And found at the scene of the Stop Me Seen Aroused, But Confused,1 That's what they've been doing, too. But members of the Senate, which passed the bill long ago by a vote of 90 to 1, are beginning to wish Kennedy had been more spe cific. It's the House of Represent atives that hasn't yet voted aye. Even Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.), Bob's brother and cosponsor of the Senate bill, has been flooded with mail. Some of it commands him sternly to vote for his bill. The senator feels that some of the letter writers' might have been a little more tact ful. These are the ones who are demanding a vote for Sen. Producer Arrives To Direct Annual Radio Broadcasts Ashland Andrew C. Love, radio producer, has arrived here to direct two nationwide radio broadcasts for the Ore gon Shakespearean Festival. This year will mark the ninth annual NBC broadcast from the Festival theatre, and the ninth year that Love has come from Hollywood to su pervise the event. Rehearsals, in progress all week, will culminate in a dress rehearsal Saturday. At 3 p.m. the theater gates will be opened to the public, and at 3:30 p.m. the two broad casts will be transcribed for later airing. There is no charge for spectators, and the general public is invited to at tend the activity. Scenes from "Twelfth Night" and musical numbers from "The Maske" will be featured in the NBC program. It will be released from New York City Thursday, Aug. 13, and May be heard in this area at 6:05 p.m. on KMED. A 60-minute version of "Antony and Cleopatra" will be produced at the same ses sion. It will be distributed privately by the Festival company, via multiple record ings. Orders for it are report ed arriving from stations all over the United States. Love, together with Mrs, Love, is spending the week in Ashland. The winner of two Peabody awards for excel lence in radio production, Love has supervised innumei;- able top shows in network radio. This year the Loves have combined a Northwest vacation trip with their an nual Festival assignment.

Bob Kennedy's bill." Other senators have been hearing about it, too, count ing their mixed-up, mail in the thousands. House members, of course, are getting their share of let ters. And everybody says they're going to do something about it.-' The House Labor commit tee, which approved a modi fied version of the bill two weeks ago, finally has got out its formal report to the House. This of course is where the House members learn what's in the bill. The question, though, is which part of the report should they read? Although the committee voted for the bill 16 to 14, only 5 of the 30 members now come right out and admit that they like it. In addition to a non-parti san, non - controversial and reasonably enlightening an alysis of the measure pre pared by a staff member, the report includes a "statement an "additional ' statement," and "additional, dissenting, and separate" views, with some members signing more than one of the total of 10. The whole thing is so perplex ing committee clerks felt it wise to index the 106-page volume. After approving the bill at a closed session, committee members jostled each other hurrying to the press gallery to explain why they weren't for it. Chairman Graham A. Barden (D-N.C.) who voted aye, said the bill was no good and refused to give it his name. 1 Rep. James Roosevelt (D Calif.) voted against it be cause it was anti-union. Rep. Carroll D. Karns (R-Pa.) voted against it because it was pro- union, In the Day's News By FRANK Big news: - President Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev will exchange visits this fall. Mr. K will come here first. He will remain about 10 days. Ike -will go to Rus sia later. His visit to the So viet Union will probably be shorter than Mr. K's visit to the United States. Our President indicates that he may accompany Mr. Khrushchev during a small part of his visit here. TKE tells the Washington re- porters at a press conier- ence that the exchange of visits was his idea. He adds that written correspondence between himself and Mr. K was started a month ago. He says he suggested to our state department some time ago that an exchange of visits would be useful in order to "melt a little bit of the ice that seems to have frozen U.S. relations with the Soviet Union." That leaves it clear that the exchanges of visits is diplo macy at the highest level. IS it good? Or is it bad? WELL, what have we got to lose? On the secrecy side, Mr. K's spies have probably told him more than he can possibly hope to see here with his own eyes. What they may not have told him is that Americans are weaklings ... That when the chips are down, they play the game through to the end . . . That playing the game through to the end could mean the destruction of BOTH nations. IirHAT one sees with his owr own eyes is apt to be im pressive. As Mr. Nixon re marked the other day: "Bet ter one look than to be told 100 times." Mr. K is RUSSIA. What he sees in his ten-day visit here might change the face of his tory. SPEAKING of history Let's go back some two thousand years and take a look at a situation that is not WE NEVER CLOSE c M.
