The 'Open' and the 'Closed9
Does the forthcoming exchange of visits be
tween Eisenhower and Khrushchev foreshadow
a thaw in the cold war?
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

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

ratker down-at-heels station wagon we are used

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

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.

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."

This has been an exception

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

able to help us but it is a very
slow process and in the mean
time we are forced to go on

is terrifi'i and the children

Before this happened I, in
common with most people,
thought air pollution regula

as I didn't have to stir myself
about it, but an experience
like this soon convinces you
that if we value our commu

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

This of course is where the

The question, though, is

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

and finally got up courage to
say, "Aren't you Mr. Kenne

that he was.
Mixed-Up Lady
I'm so delighted to meet
you," said tne lady. "I watch
you on TV at those labor
hearings. I wanted to tell you
what a wonderful job you are
doing, trying to get Jimmy
Hoffa!"
Thank you ma'am," Ken
nedy said, "but that's not me.
That's my brother, Bobby."
Embarrassed silence. Then,
"I'm sorry," she said. "I
realize now. But I've seen you
too, in the papers and maga
zines. And I know how happy
you must be with your wife
and those lovely children out
on the farm in Virginia."
"Thanks again," Kennedy
said. "That's Bobby, too."
"Well, I'm awfully sorry to
have mistaken you," she said

dissimilar to that which th
world faces today.
TN the third century, B.C.,
Rome and Carthage stood
where the Soviet Union and
the United States of America
stand today. They were the
world's most powerful na
tions. They were enemies to
the Heath Fnr inns -tranrc
Marcus Porcius Cato ended
his every speech in the Ro
man senate by croaking:
"Carthage MUST be de
stroyed." In a series of three wars
lasting nearly 120 years,
Rome destroyed Carthage
UTTERLY. Carthage was ob
literated from the earth. Not
a stone was left standing on
with salt to destroy its pro
ductiveness. Rome then reigned supreme
in the world.
WHAT happened?
" Too much power
fell
into Rome's hands. As a result
of too much power, the ruling
classes of Rome became cor
rupt and dishonest. The fiber
of the citizen soldiers who had
been the bulwark of the Ro
man Republic began to de-deriorate.-
Out of the seeds thus sown
grew the Fall of Rome and
the beginning of the Dark
Ages. The 'moral: It would
have been better if Rome and
Carthage had learned how to
live together in the same
world.
