ZIONIST LEADER DIES Haifa, Israel -ffiPtt- David Pinski. 87. a pioneer in mod ern Yiddish literature and a leader -of the labor-Zionist movement, died Wednesday After a long illness. . - i Tripe-and a Lie An ordinarily pleasant young man by the name of Ed Elder is sheriff of Lane county Re port has it that he's been a good sheriff, Recently he announced that he is going to seek the Republican nomination for -Congress from the fourth Oregon district. And he's been running as hard as he can ever since, even though the primary" election is 10 months away arid the general election is 15 months away. Most of his running, understandably enough, has been against the office's incumbent, Con gressman Charles 0. Porter. MOW politics is a fascinating business. It is also, on occasion, a rough -and tumble busi ness. It's no place for a man with a thin skin. And Charlie's skin is about as thick as that of anyone we know. But.that's no reason why Elder should begin with a-barrage of villification, half-truths and at least one outright lie. A press release from the "Ed Elder for Con gress Committee" contains remarks 'Elder made at a Kiwanis club meeting recently. Most of it is the usual political business of questioning an op ponent's qualifications, intelligence and motives. Most of it is pure tripe, but the kind of tripe one gets used to in the political arena. DUT then Elder gets on even shakier ground. Using Porter's well-publicized talk with James Hoffa, Elder takes off on a new tack. His pressrelease says:" "Elder said that Porter's open reception of Hoffa was another indication of Porter's selectivity of dic tators whom he favors; others that Porter favors are -Fidel Castro of Cuba, whose recent display of control of the presidency, leaves much doubt as to his support ' Of democratic principles; and Mao Tse-Tung, of Red ' China; while among those of whom Porter openly disapproves are Franco of Spain and Tfujillo of the Dominican Republic." If you examine this paragraph you find it to be a suDerb bit of innuendo, with one or two facts scattered around to " 70R instance, Porter has made no secret of his r animositv toward Truiillo. and of his jaun diced view of the Fascist But to sav that he "favors" Castro is a half- truth at best. Porter saw tion against the dictator Batista; counseled witn him in an attempt to convince him of the neces sitv of democratic Drocesses: reioiced when it looked as though Castro veen uisuesseu. wiieu 11c astray Likewise tn call Porter's unexpected chat with Hoffa an "open reception" is stretching the truth a bit. But let tnat TO SAY, however, that Porter "favors" Mao Tse-Tung is another matter. It is a lie. . Portei supports the view (with which many Oregon businessmen aeree) that China offers a tremendous potential market for OregdU procU ucts, and has advocated an exploration of the possibility of opening trade with it, under certain conditions. This view, certainly, is debatable. But to twist it into a statement that Porter "favors" the" head of the Communist Chinese regime is to stretch even the flexible limitations of political comment past the point of decency and truth. Porter abhors dictatorship in any form. To sav otherwise is to smear a man with whom one may disagree, but whom one must, if honest, respect. E.A. DSTfor Oregon? In November of 1950, the voters of Oregon cast their ballots in favor time." The vote was 277,633 to 195,319. In November of 1952, they voted again to retain standard time. 399,981 to 256,981. In November of 1954, this time turning down a margin of 300,007 to In November of 19bU, tney will vote on tne daylight time proposal THE first time, the margin was 82,314 votes; tVio oann-nA it trrocs 149 time it dwindled to 47,707 votes. In each case, a considerable portion of the anti-DST vote came from organized labor, or was influenced by the substantial advertising campaigns against DST sponsored by labor. . Such will not be the case in 1960, for the Oregon AFL-CIO last week voted to reverse its historic opposition to DST although the vote was by a narrow, margin. But it means, at the very least, that organized labor, as such, will not DST as in the past. AND this, of course, sreat manv votes, rectly. If only 1 voter against DST in 1954 or changed, DST would have been approved. The AFL-CIO action to tip the balance next year. But the Register-Guard points to another fac tor which might influence a pro-DST vote the fact that since 19o4 television has arrived m vast majority of Oregon homes. An inconvenient re vision, of viewing habits occurs in a non-DST state wrnen the networks . These factors, plus Oregon to start observing daylight time come April oi iyt)i tt.A. lend it verisimilitude.

' 1 most flagrant lobbying, and the greatest output of heat without light in the recent history of the House of Rep r e s entatives. Yet it is worth trying i . . a lasob Alsoo xo inreaa one s way through the tangle. Three different bills are. in volved, to begin with. Least severe is the bill sponsored by Rep. John F. SheUey, Dem., of California. It mainly calls for disclosure of union finan cial transactions. It has been called the "milk and water" bill. But it is actually roughly comparable to the quite sig-j nificant labor reform bill pass ed in New York state by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. (Editor's note: This is the bill defeated in the House yesterday.) Second, there is" the bill sponsored by Rep. Carl Elliott, Dem., of Alabama, which was favorably reported by a ma jority of the House Commit tee on Education and Labor. Besides strong requirements f6r disclosure, the Elliott bill regulates secondary boycotts and Other dubious labor prac tices. It is roughly comparable to the bin that passed the Senate. Third there is the bill spon sored by Reps. Robert P. Grif fin, R., Michigan, and Phil M. Landrum, Dem., Georgia. The Griff in-L a rt d r u m bill goes much further than the Elliott bill in its restrictions 6fl sec ondary boycotts picketing, and so on. In view of its ori gin, this might better be call ed the bill of the U. S. Cham ber of Commerce and the Na tional Association of Manufac turers. It has also won Presi dent Eisenhower's public en dorsement. AMONG the labor leaders, James R. Hoffa of the Teamsters and old John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers are opposed to aU labor reform legislation, no matter what. Even the Shelley bill would handicap Hoffa. Hoffa's lobbyist, John Scazi, has flatly Said that "labor" (meaning Hoffa) "cannot live with" the middle-of-the-road Elliott bill. The Shelley bill is support ed by labor leaders who have acknowledged the need for re form, like George Meany of the A. F-. L.-C. I. O. It is in fact their bill, hot Hoffa's, and they are its only backers. Meany and the ethers like hint are actively opposing the El liott bill, saying it is anti-labor. As for the Griffin-Lan- drum bill, it arouses the same labor emotions as the right-to- work issue-which did not con spicuously aid the Republi cans in the last Congression al elections. Communications Beyond Our Neies To the Editor: I would like to thank all' those who called in response to my letter in last Sunday's paper. It is en couraging to know I'm not alone in my desire to have something done about air pol lution. However, I did receive one note in protest, unsigned, and with no return address, which I am asking the editor to print in order that I may answer it. . (Editor's note: The note re ferred to reads as foUows: "Why don't you gd back to LA. Where you belong. We are getting too many of your type here now. You live out in the boondocks so why not keep your mouth shut. Where would you be if it weren't for the mUls; It's people like you that keeps this world in a ter monial.") To the Lady or Gentleman Menace " , Despite labor's opposition to it, the middle-of-the-road El liott biU has the support 6f Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, all the House's mod erate Democrats, and the 10 to 15 Republican members who care about the labor vote in their districts. This group in the center is being badly squeezed, however, between the union-controUed left wing Democrats and right wing members. The real leader of the fight for the Griff in-Landrum bill is the hew House Republican leader, Rep. Charles Halleck of Indiana. In discussing la bor legislation, Rep. Halleck has said, reportedly, that he wants a killer, or no bill at all." This is also the approach of the employers" associations. These have been putting 6A the heat for the Griffin-Lan- drum biU in a Style that can only be compared to the style of Hoffa.. TO. COMPLETE the tangle, the burning issue of civil rights iS indirectly but impoT- tantly involved.- The conserva tive Southern Democratic fac tion headed by the immensely powerful chairman of the House Rules Committee, Rep, Howard Smith of Virginia, would like to pass stringent labor legislation. Yet many of these Southerners would be amenable to . Speaker Ray burn's persuasions, if Smith and HaUecit did not have an understanding on the civil rights issue. The existence of the under standing wiU of course be de nied by HaUeck, With many a self-righteous roar. But the fact is well known aU the same. Halleck has undertak en, in effect, to 'help Smith block action on civil rights, if Smith helps him with the labor biU and other measures of special interest to the Re publicans. AS these words are written, no one can tell whether Halleck's Republicans plus Smith's Southern Democrats can substitute the Griffin Lartdrum bill for the middle-of-the-road Elliott bUl." The House has never been so buf feted by industry pressures, labor pressures, and White House pressures (for the White House lobbying squad has also been hard at work). The Shel ley bill has no chance, but otherwise the outcome of the House voting is quite unpre dictable. One can predict, however, that if Halleck passes his "kUler" bin in the House, n6 law wiU reach the statute books. For the Senate con ferees wiU never accept the "kUler," whereas they would accept with cheers the biU that Hoffa's own lobbyist says Hoffa cannot live with.

It grieves me to show my ignorance, but I just don' get it! I have never advocated get ting rid of the mills, as your note seems to imply.

Some Foreign Assistance All are causing trouble to the Rome central government. In some cases there is active assistance from abroad. The Communists, always eager to add to a boiling pot, are riding the "independence from Rome" tide for all it's worth.

A bitf chunk of northern Italy once belonged to Aus tria. . -) ' agers are as concerned about the problem and its solution as the average citizen. We wish only to work WITH them in finding this solution, which wUl benefit all who live here now, and in the future. If I wished to die a slow agonizing death - I certainly would return to L.A. as you suggest, and I have no doubt you are not alone in your wish. Those of y6u who have lived here most of your' lives do fiot fully realize how fortun ate you've been in having a beautiful clean community in which to live and raise yotif families. A few Oregdnians are un able to understand how an outsider could love the valley as you do.

However in this age of hustle and bustle, with crime and dishonesty on most every fside, one some times wonders about some things. Most everyone is aware or, the fact that we've had a. fire in this area. Whose fault? WeU, nd one is sure, but the gaunt ash-covered, once green hills testify to the fact that something, or someone, was responsible. Hundreds of men have fought the flames. Officers have done their duty in direct ing traffic and in trying to keep order. I was well made aware of this fact on aunaay when I attempted to drive up the mine road, we have a patch of everbearing straw berries up there that are in need of constant attention. The officer who stopped me at the foot of the hill was adamant. He was carry tog out his orders to let no one but property owners and au thorized persons by. I com plied. You would have too. I didn't have a . gun On my hip and what is more would not have shot anyone if I had had one. At any rate we did get up there Monday and harvested our "hickory" smoke flavored picking of berries. The owner of the place was a bit de jected. You would too if you had lost a 40-year" accumu lation of shop tools and min ing equipment. He and i friend were the only ones able to' fight the flames , when they broke out in his area. The crews had not arrived. His friend fell exhausted to the gfOund. In fact he passed out. The flames were near. The lady in the house phoned for assistance. A friend rounded up four men and started for the scene. He was stopped at the foot of the hill and refused admittance. Another lad attempted to pass. He lied that his father- in-law had had a heart attack and eot through. We live in a tense, com- Dlicated age. A businessman The Austrians still call it the "Sbuth Tyrol," the south ern part of the Austrian pro vince of the same name The Italians call it the "Alto Adige" - the region above the Adige river. Constant Friction Present This 2,800-square-mile area has been a constant source of Italo-Austrian friction ever since this country annexed it at the end of World War I. After World War II, still- occupied Austria and a liber ated Italy signed - under pres sure front the Western allies - an accord whereby the reg ion was declared part of Italy but entitled to separate pro visions. Italy guaranteed" the Aus trian minority full equality with Italian-speaking citizens and Special rights as regards schools, customs, language, and other things. Bombings, Explosions Oceur The Austrian minority, with vocative Support from the Vienna government, claims that it is being "submerged" by the Italians. Incidents, including bomb ings and explosions, erupted early this year. A renewal of agitation on a far wider scale is predicted by some sources for this winter. Publicly, the Italian govern ment says that irritations are bound to emerge but that everything is under control, . Privately, the Christian Democratic party is worried. The signs would make Gari baldi turn in his grave. iu the Bay area told me, "A man when he comes through my door is a crook until prove him otherwise." What a pity to 'have such mistrust and crime. Even some so called ministers of the Gospel don't help matters when they tear down the foundation of God's government and tell us that the Ten Commandments are no longer binding. I say we need to revaluate our posi tion and regain our trust in both God and man. Henry Johnson Jr., 2400 Highway 66, Ashland, Ore. , 4-H, FFA Fair . To the Editor: One Of the outstanding events of the year Is just in the offing. What? The 4-H and FFA Fair! The average citizen is not interested and equally many of their own families " take iust a mediocre interest in these youngsters, who are am bitious enough to produce Some article or raise and fin ish some animal for produc tion Or market. These chil dren are preparing them selves to be worthy citizens to our county. Last year the sale was pa thetic, not much interest nor hutch enthusiasm. Now, this year Some of the kids are to be denied the privilege of the annual livestock sale at the fair. Can't you remember back when you were young and what it would mean not to be a participant in the Big Show? You worked hard and did the best with what you had to do with. It wouldn't have seem ed right that you should be segregated, just because you didn't come up to "snuff." Let's remember that this is a Character building achieve ment rather than just a com mercial activity. Let's give all the youngsters their chance to bring their animal into the ring to, be sold at their own livestock sale. Expression and recognition means So much to the beginner as well as the Older members. It isn't fair to draw a line by grading and selling some at a public auc tion after the fair. We cannot j Consider time when a future is at stake. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually on juvenile delinquents. It brings to mind the old adage, 'Tick ing the barn after the horse hs been stolen." Now, here in the 4-H and FFA, we have a preventative for juvenile delinquency, a character building expedient as weir as developing business ability. It Surely is true that a con structively occupied child is NOT vulnerable to trouble some activities. It would be a credit to some high city or county official to address these young people on the evening of the livestock sale and offer a few words of encouragement. It would be a worthy effort for the mer chants, organizations, lodges to make this year's 4-H and FFA Fair and sale a tremen dous success. Jackson county owes this to our 4-H and FFA young people!

The shipment included Bibles in Russian. Today 6 Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann FACTS OF LIFE When the President goes to Europe he wUl talk separately to our three principal allies, first with Dr, Adenauer, then with Mr. Macmillan and then with Gen. de Gaulle. There is, it seems, to be no common meeting of the four Western heads of gov ernment. The separate meet togs, which Gen. de Gaulle has insisted upon, are sup posed to make it clear to the world that When President Ei senhower talks with Chair man Khrushchev, he i not the authorized negotiator of the Western world. Although it may look as if this weakens the President's position, in fact it w i 1 1 strengthen it. In no circum stances could the President wish to make a private deal with Mr.-K. affecting the in terests of any of our allies. They wUl all have to be con sulted and each will have to give his consent to any agree ment. But, just because the President has no official col lective mandate from the at lies, he will be free to explore without embarrassment all the possibilities of co-exisence. It will not be like Geneva, where nobody on either side was free to maneuver, much less to ne gotiate. rpHERE is. no great mystery -- about the significance of the Eisenhower - Khrushchev visits. They-are a recognition Of the fundamental fact Of the world today that the issue of peace or war wiU be decided in Moscow and in Washing ton. Only the U. S. S. R. and U. S. A. can wage a nuclear war, and . they alone, there fore, can make the ultimate decisions which mean peace or war. They cannot delegate to their allies: the ultimate decision and, whatever the appearances they maintain, this underlying reality wil prevail. These are the facts of life in the middle of the twentieth century. Because of- them, Whenever the cold war reaches a point of irreconcil able conflict, the- two powers have to find a way around it That is what they did at Gen eva in 1955, when nothing was settled except that for four years there was in fact a standstill about Germany. That, presumably, is what they wUl do once again in 1959. Most probably no legal settlement wUl be agreed to. But a way may well be found to avoid a showdown over Berlin. If a way is found, it will be because ' Moscow and Washington have decided that they do not intend to have a world war about Berlin. IN THIS connection, there Is a misunderstanding abroad which, in the interest of gen eral political hygiene, must be cleared up. It is that the British and ourselves, now that our policies have con verged, are less resolute and courageous in facing war with the Russians than are Germany and France. This is such sheer nonsense that if it Walter Llppmuw wherever the need there we serve whakU jlloduatof AtfoM from th Caurlhone HANK MORGAN - H AHOLD SNOOGRASS, FUNERAL DIRECTORS DA OR NIGHT were not frequently insinu ated, it might be politely ig nored. Tne truth is that France and Germany are for all practical purposes dis armed in Europe, and separ ately or jointly they are quite unable even to contem plate a war with Russia. The real difference within our Western alliance is that Dr. Adenauer and Gen. de Gaulle think that Mr. K. is bluffing about Berlin. The British do not think he is bluffing, and neither do we. It does not seem likely to us that Mr. K. would abandon his campaign about Western Berlin just because we called his bluff by refusing to nego tiate with him. He would be . bound to- do something and, unfortunately, he is able to do quite a lot. He is able to give the officials of the East German Communist state con trol of the access to Berlin, and to let them-always by measures short of war-make an infernal nuisance of them selves. Then our bluff would be called. For we, the French and the West Germans in cluded, are not going to ODen road to West Berlin by driving the East German troops and police out of East Germany, and we are not go ing to use nuclear bombs to clear out the East German bureaucrats making as much mischief as they can get away with. It might make us look very silly to enter into a contest to determine who 15 bluffing the most. THERE is another aspect of the two-power parleys which is poignant. It is the effect of the exchange of visits on the refugees in America and on . the under ground resistance in Eastern Europe. There is no doubt at all that these visits could 'not take place if it were the se rious and deliberate policy of this country to encourage re bellion in Eastern Europe and to support rebellion if it takes place. But this is not our pol icy. If it ever was Our policy, it has long since been aban. doned. We did not intervene during the uprisings in East Germany, Poland, and Hun gary, and in fact, though not explicitly, we have adopted the view that freedom in Europe -must be gained not by revolution but by evolu tion. This is a realistic, a sound, and a humane policy. For the opposite policy, that of in citement to rebellion, can lead only to bloody disasters after heroic and futile sacrifice. The other way is the better one. A relaxation of interna tional tension between the U. S. A. and the U. S. S. R. wiU relax the tensions inside of Eastern Europe, and free dom there, as freedom every where, flourishes best in an atmosphere of peace. This is, I am confident, the view of the wisest patriots among our friends in Eastern Europe. We must beware of the pro fessional agitators here in this country, especiaUy those who are playing American politics with what Theodore Roosevelt used to call the hyphenated vote..
