YALE CHAIRMAN DIES New Haven-flJPIWProf. John G. Kirkwood, 52, chairman of the chemistry department at Yale university, died Sunday night of cancer. Taxes, Lumber & Economics Property tax bills for of the country will be ing to a forecast by County Assessor Ray Shu- macher. The increases come rising cost of operating schools and city govern ments, and because of the increasing school popu lation. None of it is attributable to general county government. For this year, as for the past three years, the county is levying no taxes at all for its own purposes. THIS, as is well known well enough) is because of the large income the county receives from as payments in lieu of by the government, The largest portion eau of land management. This year the paymen was the, largest in history $2,314,670 and is $433,585 more than ment, in 1954. It represents one half of the amount received by the bureau (mostly from timber sales) on BLM operations within the county. Another 25 per cent of the total also is allo cated to the county. But the O&C counties of western Oregon voluntarily have relinquished that amount to go into of access roads and for AN additional, though J.! win iiic vj. kj. iuicci cci v iic ail amuuiit equal to 25 per cent mostly from timber sales) in the county. This must be used for school the O&C income may any legal way. It is these funds which permit the county to operate without taxes happens if this amount reduced, is something yet to be decided.) One lumberman in that this money is not though it is easy to think -of it this way. He makes the point, and it money which the county for county purposes (and too) comes from Jackson county s forest prod ucts industry. UIS points are made in a recent letter, por tions of which are quoted herewith: "I doubt if very many people realize the tremen dous impact of this money (the O&C fund) on the in dividual taxpayer in particular and on the economy of Jackson county in general. "This impact manifests Itself In this fashion: The total county assessed valuation is now set at $86,210, 408.30. The O&C payment amounted to $2,314,670. It thus follows that the millage equivalent of the O&C payment related to the assessed valuation amounts to 26.8 mills. This means that a direct saving in county property taxes to each taxpayer is 26.8 mills. "Therefore, a taxpayer with an assessed valuation of $5,000 is saved $134, which he would be paying were it not for this O&C payment. In other words, by using this 26.8 mill measurement, each taxpayer can easily determine the effect on his tax bill by multiply ing the 26.8 mills by his assessed valuation." .

With but very minor exceptions the entire fund comes from the sale of timber located upon O&C lands. The buyer in this case, and the actual source of these funds, is the forest products industry of Jackson county. "Were it not for a healthy, progressive lumber in dustry in this county capable of purchasing and, most important, paying for such timber, these funds would not be available. The impact of such a situation on each taxpayer is easily measured by applying the 26.8 mill formula referred to above." TTHESE facts, of course, It results, as outlined, But it also provides the payroll, and the dollars bread, shoes, automobiles and newspapers are, in large part, lumber dollars. This leads to such questions as: How healthy is the lumber industry? Can we continue to de pend on it as a source of wealth for the indefin ite future? How well is it of other materials?

To the Editor: The cogno men of "tourist" to a stranger visiting our state is wearing itself ragged. The connotation is developing the stigma of former terms such as "green horn," "sucker," "cheechako,' pigeon," and many other similar words used to denote individuals who are easily mulcted. Just the mere mention of being a traveler is enough for good mark-up in prices Shrewd individuals on the shady side can spot a new comer ten city blocks away. And woe be unto them and their residual experiences. Were it not for another word, also bearing semantic disrepute, I should be willing to call our yearly visitors "fellow travelers. George Distell 156VashtiWay Medford Economics Will Solve It To the Editor: The incendi ary letter Mrs. Leonard Ma- theus had in the Sunday "Communications" struck right at me. I am a millwright m one of the mills in this area, and my duties have to do with the burner at our mill. During the two years time I have worked at this mill we have installed different grates, added blow ers, put water on the top of the burner and also have a watering device that sprays the sawdust down before it enters the burner. The blow ers have worked perfectly, the water comes gushing out- and the smoke pours forth! The state air pollution men were up at various times and solemnly told me to keep it hot, don't use blowers-use lots of air, reduce water and add water! They say they see hundreds of burners in the course of their business and mine is do ing fine! I have one excellent cure for all this "nuisance," and that is just don't put any saw dust in the burner! However, that complicates things as I have never been around any mill that was running that did not produce sawdust. Now if we wish to go fur ther and assume the pear growers were not permitted to smudge and offices to be heat ed, we could achieve our hope of a pure, sparkling air free of contamination. Now, Mrs. Matheus, I am sure you will want to lead our parade of enthusiasts by plug ging your fireplace and stove pipes up. man t you realize you were Just as busily pollut ing the air as anyone? It won t cost you too much to change over completely to electricity. Perhaps I am being snide when I ask you why you came to this bustling community? Wasn't it because the mills were pouring forth lumber and the orchards heavily laden with fruit? As Judge Earl Miller asks for patience, so do I because every millman in the busi ness knows that smoke repre sents wood and wood in the burner is not lumber on a freight car. To my knowledge there have been a number of at tempts to salvage edgings and mill ends-by remanufacturing, but it just has not proved eco nomical as yet. . I know of mills which have spent many thousands of dol lars for chippers to remove the bark from logs so they would have clean chips to ship to paper plants, only to find they had a white ele phant, and have to cease op erations. Government is always un wieldy and cumbersome, and to inflict our lumber industry 'DENNIS?' with restrictions and laws would only do injury because as economies are effected and changes are made in produc tion this problem will solve itself. C. T. Sheppard, 2660 Crater Lake ave., Medford. Law Said Needed To the Editor: Once again we have had a terrible fire and once again the age-old complaint was voiced: "Fire fighters have been seriously handicapped by the mobs of curious who jammed the high ways and made passage of vital men and equipment dif ficult." How much longer is this senseless custom going to be permitted? At every fire it is the same; the empty-headed, criminally-curious thrill seek er, makes the always hazard ous job of the fireman infi nitely more dangerous and difficult. Many lives have been needlessly lost because of them. In addition to the four or five hundred laws passed at ea -h session of the legislature we need one more and one with teeth! A law making it a criminal offense for a per son to be in the vicinity of a fire unless that person has a vital need to be there. One penalty might well be the immediate impressment into front line fire-fighting service of any person so caught-male or female. When a few of the thrill seekers have fought to exhaustion or maybe been trapped behind the lines because of more such as they, they will surely think twice before dashing to the next fire. Our Jackson county delega tion could do the people no greater service than to initi ate and work " hard for the passage of such a measure. N. von der Hellen, Eagle Point, Ore. No Logic in Waiting To the Editor: This writer is all for preservation of our wilderness areas. But the simple fact remains that sur vival of any fauna or flora tribe depends on its adapabil ity to changing conditions. By taking irrigation and indus trial waters from the Rogue river and restoring none, we have brought the once marve lous salmon runs close to ex tinction. So what are the salmon do ing about it? Just one thing ine remnants of tne once mighty tribe gather in the di minishing coolness of shaded deep pools of the lower Rogue river waiting the coming of the cooling fall rains. If the rains are too late in coming, then the salmon are made too late in their procreative spawning cycle and that run is largely lost. It is just that simple and deadly so. For the cold-water salmon to try the struggle up the shallow, "re portedly 80 degree plus, moss- choked trickle of the lower Rogue river would be just as deadly. So why this Hesitating Han- na time-wasting tor an en largement of these waiting pools to gargantuan dam size and make the Rogue come up somewhere to its too largely advertised possibilities as re turning fishermen claim has been done by building of the Shasta dam. But this is not all. Instead of these steep and narrow confines of the un natural, scary and body bruis ing concrete fish-1 adder, it would seem much better to build a detour for the up stream urged salmon on the order of those in Scotland which are a series of 10 foot to 30 foot pools with natural smooth rounded rocks forming the spill-way, which affords , Geneva Talks Accomplish Postponement Of Berlin Showdown If Nothing Else By JOSEPH W. GRIGG Geneva (DPD The Berlin showdown has been postponed for months-perhaps for years. A nuclear third world war over the divided city is less likely now than at any time since Nov. 27, 1958, when So viet Premier Nikita Khru schchev rocked the West with his ultimatum to get out of Berlin in six months. In the opinion of informed and responsible Western diplo mats, easing of the Berlin crisis was the main achieve ment of the Big Four foreign ministers conference which ended here last Wednesday. Crisis "Talked Out" The Berlin crisis and the Khrushchev time-bomb were 'talked out" in Geneva, in the belief of Western diplo mats. And the 10-week dead lock of the Western and So-i Shenandoah Park Described; Eyes 'Dunes' Plan By RICHARD NEUBERGER U. S. Senator, Oregon Some 2,000 people had to move to make way for the new National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This was the Shenandoah, which FDR ded icated in 1936. A lot of local folks grumbled at the time. What would replace home steading, grazing and lumber ing in the uplands? But we heard no complaints on the recent weekend which Maurine and I and our nieces spent at Big Meadows Lodge, in the heart of the Shenan doah. Roads were teeming with cars. Campgrounds over flowed to three times their normal capacity. Neither love nor money could secure ac commodations for late arrivals at the lodges. Every seat was taken an hour before the na ture lectures began. Owners of filing stations, motels, inns and restaurants all told us of single days when as many as 36,000 men, wom en and children visited Shen andoah National Park and attendance this season is up 14 per cent from 1958. Last year Shenandoah was toured by 1,655,266 people. This is near In the Day's News By FRANK Aftermath of Roseburg: Our lawmills grind constant ly. Starting with the U.S. congress and running down through the state legislatures, the initiative and referendum machinery and the city coun cils, they pour out a steady stream of legislation some of it good and a lot of it undigest ed trash. The lawbooks bulge and swell increasingly, straining to contain the mass of stuff that is crammed into them, BUT Over all these years Nobody in Oregon or, ap parently, in. Washington or California appears to .have thought of putting together a simple and effective code of procedure for transporting necessary but DANGEROUS explosives from their point of origin to their point of use with a minimum of hazard to the public, and then EN ACTING IT INTO LAW. SO What happened at Rose burg happened. The tragedy of it is that it WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN ED if over the years we had directed more thought and ef fort toward sane and construc tive and FUNDAMENTAL leg islation and less effort toward what might be termed legisla tive fluff and froth. F CAN'T be argued that the situation that resulted in the Roseburg tragedy sneak ed up on us without warning. It DIDN'T. A dozen years ago, in Texas, there was a precisely similar tragedy. In the Harbor of Tex as City back in 1947, a ship an easy climb for the sea mi grants and cool resting places, helping to maintain the sal mon runs of Scotland for countless generations. Equally important is the fending away of the salmon fry from the murderous tur bines on their seaward jour ney. It will be interesting to know what results were ob tained from the installation of the fish protective screens at Savage Rapids dam early this year. One thing is sure. There is no logic in opposing the building of dams on the Rogue river till the last salmon gasps out its life in the heated moss-choked waters in its lower reaches. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200 F Central Point i viet foreign ministers led in directly to the exchange of visits between President Eisen hower and Khrushchev. When Khrushchev sprang his ultimatum last November, the West was caught by sur prise. Worse still, it was caught without any agreed policy. The North' Atlantic Treaty (NATO) Allies at their Christ mas meeting in Paris talked tough about never being driv en out of Berlin. But there was a lack of conviction in their tough talk. They had no plan of action in case the Kremlin cut off access routes to Berlin. Fur ther, it was doubtful whether public opinion in Britain and some other European NATO countries ever would have tol erated a nuclear world war over Berlin. The hectic "peace missions' Senator ly equal to the entire popula tion of Oregon. Reminded of Opponents As we saw the Shenandoah Park Rangers in their natty uniforms, the naturalists and botanists on the trail to in form wayfarers, the neat lodges, the cars from every state (including Oregon) all we could think of were the people who are such determin ed opponents of our own Ore gon Dunes National Seashore bill. ' Some antagonists of the Oregon Dunes contend our Seashore would be too large 35,000 acres. Shenandoah Na tional Park covers 193,473 acres, and it is in a state with considerably less than one- half the area of Oregon. We' do not expect a park on the Oregon seacoast to attract as many visitors as a park in the .crowded Eastern states But we do know that the vast advertising and heraldry which comes to every Nation al Park unit will help to make the Oregon Dunes Seashore a great tourist success. We wish some of the doubters could have been with us in the verdant wonders of the Shen andoah! JENKINS loaded with ammonium ni trate (as was the truck at Roseburg) exploded and snuf fed out half a thousand lives. Half a thousand lives might have been snuffed out in busy Roseburg if the explosion had occurred at 2:30 pjn., with the downtown area crowded with people, instead of at 1:30 ajn. with the business district practically empty. rpHE Texas disaster stirred J- no warning thoughts. It prompted no serious study of the dangers inherent to the transportation of tricky ex plosives. Our lawmills went right on grinding out laws that could be done without and giving relatively little thought to preventing such things as the Texas City and the Roseburg explosions. THE horse has been stolen. The nitv of it is that the same horse has been stolen TWICE. It is highly probable that this time the barn door will be locked. Anyway, let's hope so. Let's go farther than mere ly hoping. Let's DEMAND that in the future pur law making bodies take care of first things FIRST. The public safety certainly should head the list of FIRST things. ROSEBURG has been dealt a staggering blow. As this is written, the loss is estimat ed at ten million dollars or more. Tnat is a neavy loss in a relatively small city. Businesswise, Roseburg will recover. Its people have cour age and enterprise. They have faith in their city, which is the center of a rich area. New buildings will rise to take the place of those that have been destroyed or dangerously dam aged. The new will be better than the old. But at least ten lives have been lost. Those ten lives can never be replaced. Western Spending Tops National Average Washington-flJPD - A survey of 1959 retail sales showed Monday that westerners spent more than Americans in other regions. Retail spending in the West averaged $1,347 per person for the year, 15 per cent above the national average of $1,169, according to a bureau report. About one per cent of farm crop value is spent tor pest controL of Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to Moscow, Paris, Bonn and Washington in the spring merely pointed up the Western state of jitters without achieving much in the way of a United Western policy. New Phase Starts But the Geneva foreign ministers talks, which opened May 11, ushered in a new phase in East-West relations. Khrushchev let it be known that his six-month ultimatum was elastic-that it didn't much Matter of Fact By Joseph AIsop Letter lo a Humphrtyite Dear Jim: Forgive me for carrying our argument into print. A politi cal reporter's impartial loy alty to the facts is his most impor tant asset, and I feel I must defend myself on this point, in this unac customed pub- JnSph Aisop lie manner. You complained about my account of a poll laboriously taken in a Queens election district - a district that gave President Eisenhower heavy majorities in 1952 and 1956, and also gave Governor Nel son Rockefeller a comfortable majority in 1958. Since you are promoting the Democrat ic Presidential candidacy of Senator Hubert Humphrey, I can see why you did not like this poll's decidedly sensation al results. When polled a few days ago, this Republican-voting district gave the Democratic front-runner, Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, a lead of nearly five to one over Vice President Richard M. Nixon - and this was after everyone had seen and ad mired the Nixon-Khrushchev television show. It gave Ken nedy a lead of much more than five to one over Gover nor Rockefeller. And it show ed Kennedy running approxi mately three times better than Humphrey and the Senate's two other Democratic Presi dential aspirants, Lyndon Johnson of Texas and Stuart Symington of Missouri. 1SI HAVE said, these were sensational results. should not have published such results from a single small district, if the little pott in Queens had not fitted so exactly with much larger, as yet unpublished polls that I have heard about from Re publican sources. One of these was a private ly sponsored poll of New York State taken by the inquiring Dr. Gallup. This one gave Kennedy over 60 per cent of the statewide vote. Another was a national poll taken in July, presumably for publica tion but somewhat surprising ly not released. This one gave nationwide results almost comparable to those which Gallup obtained in New York As you can easily see, any candidate who scores above 60 per cent in a statewide test has got to have many pockets of 70 and 80 per cent support. Such pockets of super-enthu siasm are essential, in order to overwhelm the areas tradi tionally attached to the party, Hence I concluded that my Queens results were not too exceptional to see the light. That leaves us with a ques tion, however. What on earth are the sources of this mass support for Kennedy, that all the pollers have found? , JUDGING by my own" ex periences of pavement pounding and doorbell-ring ing, I would say that Kenne dy's mass support has four, inter-related sources. To begin Counsel With . .

The May 27 deadline, when Russia should have lowered the boom on Berlin, passed without so much as a delay to a truck on the Berlin Auto bahn while the foreign min isters talked in Geneva. It became pretty obvious to the West that Khrushchev himself preferred talks to H-bombs. with, he has clearly impress ed tne electorate as a consid- erable political personality in nis own right. The general liking and admiration for him in turn give added weight to his special advantages. These are as follows, in reverse or der of their importance. First, the politicians mav be appalled, but the voters are pleased by the fact that Ken nedy does not look at all like a politician. I imagine vou will agree that the character of his picture on the front pages helped Charles A. Lind bergh to become an enduring national hero. By a similar ef fect, the Kennedy image has been fixed in the public mind. Second, and more signifi cant, the labor reform activi ties of Kennedy and his broth er Robert are strikingly popu lar. No less than three of the 64 Queens pollees, all union members, answered the ques tion on Kennedy: "Which brother do you mean? I'll vote for either." Third, and most significant. Kennedy gets the votes of an extraordinarily high percent age of the Roman Catholics who have moved into Jhe Re publican party. In the Queens poll, he did better than the other Democrats among the Protestants and Jews, getting all nine Jewish votes for in stance. But the 42 - Catholic pollees were the people who gave Kennedy such an enor mous edge over his Democrat ic rivals, and helped him to wipe the floor with Nixon and Rockefeller. OF COURSE New York State is not two-thirds Catholic, as that Queens dis trict was. In the New York electorate of 15.7 million, there are only 5.4 million Catholics. But at least half of the State's Catholic voters chose President Eisenhower in 1952 and 1958, and the Catho lics also contributed heavily to Rockefeller's victory over Averell Harriman. On the showing to date, Kennedy seems to be able to bring something like three quarters -or close to 2,000,000-of New York's Republican-v o t i n g Catholics back into the Demo cratic column. That is a remarkable fact, which explains the Gallup poll above-cited. As it hap pens, I am a Republican; and furthermore, I should most like to vote for Senator John son among the Democrats. But personal preferences ought not to prevent political re porters from publishing re markable political facts.
