A Imost
The American who
the United States can go it alone without regard
for the other nations of the world is almost
extinct. The few of his species who remain will
succumb if they don't get their heads out of the
sand. ' .
Much has been written about what would
happen to the United States if the rest of the
world turned against her. One of the best things
we've seen on this subject was discussed recently
by Don Lynch in his Ontario Argus-Observer
column. This shows how immense the odds
against us are. Mr. Lynch wrote:
THE June 1 issue of Contact magazine used
an old device to make an interesting com
parison. It reduced the world to a community
of 1;000 people and found these significant
relationships.
Sixty persons would represent the U.S. popu
lation; and the other 940 people would repre
sent the rest of the world.
Over half of the people in this hypothetical
city would be unable to read and write, and
half of them would never have heard of Jesus
or what he taught More than half of them would
now be hearing of Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin and
Nikita Khrushchev, and other communist leaders.
WITH the exception of about 200 people rep-
i Lciuuiug ii vtiviii
favored areas of the
American people in this
would be ignorant, poor, hungry and sick.
About a third of the people would be Chris
tians and of these 330, less than 100 would be
Protestants, while about 230 would be Catholics.
At least 80 people (more than the American
population) would' be believing communists and
370 others would be under communist domina
tion. '
Less than a third of the people (303) would
be white skinned, the
non-white races.
IN THIS mythical community the. 60 Americans
would have so much the best of life as to seem
dancrerous to their nosition.
. They would have half of the total income,
while the other 940 nersons shared the remaining
half. They would have an. average life expect
ancy of 70 years compared to 40 years for. the
rest of the citizenry.
' The 60 Americans would nossess 15 times as
much goods per person
people. Aitnougn composing only six per cent of
the population, thev would produce 16 t)er cent

much electric power as
as rrracn coal; zl times as much oil and gas; 50
times as much steel and 50 times as much Gen
eral equipment.
CINCE most of the 940 non-Americans would
always be hungry the situation created by the
disparity in food supplies would cause a tense
atmosphere. In many instances the Americans
could save money by. giving their excess food
away instead of storing it. However that wouldn't
fit American philosophy of helping other people.
The world is still pretty scattered and far
flung. It may be "One World" as Wendell
Wilkie proclaimed, but is far1 from being one
small town. '
However, it is shrinking. American abun
dance makes her position ever more hazardous.
We need to discover how to share effectively
with the rest of the world, not just in expensive,
grandiose projects; but in useful, down-to-earth
ways that will help other people make their own
progress. We need to avoid a superior attitude,
and instead, be-a helpful and courteous friend.

Vice Presidential Nomination
The conspicuous success of Richard M. Nixon
notwithstanding, participants at the recent Gov
ernors' Conference exhibited a high degree of
residual contempt for the office of vice president.
Though it's not recorded that any of them have
been offered the job, at least four governors have
turned it down Brown of Calif ornia, Stratton of
Illinois, Meyner of New Jersey, and Rockefeller
of New York.
Whether this reluctance is ritual or real, -only
time and the pundits will tell. In the back room,
it's whispered that three of the four are aiming
higher.
IT MAY BE, however, that Brown and Rocke
1 feller in particular mean what they say. Not
all hardheaded politicians are impressed with the
durability of the Nixon example. It is a commen
tary on the stature of the average vice president
that Alexander Throttlebottom, the. fictional run
ning mate of "Wintergreen for President," is bet
ter known than many who have actually filled
the office.
In the final analysis, what the vice president
is depends on the will of the president. If the
office can be a springboard, as with Eisenhower
Nixon, it is more often a quagmire. Without the
confidence and respect of his chief, the vice presi
dent is condemned to the role of "spare tire on
the automobile of government," as John Nance
Garner phrased it. "Some vice prisfdints," wrote
Mr. Dooley, "have been so anxious f'r th' prisi-
dint's Safetv that thev've hnrl tn he worried riff

of those
rooms of which the nation is
officially said to be short, it
will be aU of these things: .
A small miracle.
A triumph of one part of the
Eisenhower Administra t i o n
over another part: a victory
for the left side of the GOP
split personality; a success for
those who want to help edu
cation moderately over those
who are only willing to help
it too much.
The biggest danger to the
program Is that it will be kiss
ed to death by over eager
friends. The next biggest
danger is that it will die from
the sheer frustrations of those
who want to do something
practical but find it impossible
to "break through the bureau-,
cratic and political jungle
now surrounding the issue.
HERE is the position, so far
as it can be put into
words:
1. Some ultra - liberal Con
gressional Democrats have
been insisting upon a bill that
would involve not merely bil
lions of dollars in ultimate
outlays but would also com
mit the government to subsi
dizing teachers' pay as well as
building schoolhouses. The
teachers' lobby is inspiring
this demand which, however
good it might be in theory, is
wholly unrealistic because it
simply cannot pass.
2. Moderates in both par
ties, but primarily among the
Democrats, are trying to raise
enough support for a biU to
provide $1.5 billion over a
three-year period to assist the
states to build schools, but to
stop right there.
3. Arthur Flemming, the
Secretary of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare, is . in the
middle in the . most . painful
way. Flemming wants .some
thing passed which President
Eisenhower will not veto. The
Secretary dares not encourage
even the moderate Democrats
too far, even though they are
his most needed and useful
allies. He has already bucked
the Administration's budget-
balancing line as far as he can
go. Thus, what he is trying
to do is to blow into a small,

iasm for modest school jcon
struction. fFHE REAL and underlying
truth about the whole busi
ness is this: The political at
mosphere has wholly changed
since this country went into
a great nap when the Russians
sent aloft their first smitnik.
The President is at the point
now of negotiating with the
Soviet Union; the cold war,
for- the moment at least, is
thawing. Moreover, a national
mood which once wanted to

an will be well as things
stand or soon will be well.
But as public excitement
over education's shortcomings
has subsided.! the tnchor'
lobby and the ultra-liberals in
general have not been able to
scale down their own demands
to fit the new realities. AiSH
the President himself,, who
was never too keen about the
whole idea of Federal aid to
education, is anvthincr but
keen about it now.
The attitude represented by
Flemming was never reallv
the attitude of the Republi
cans generally. He was, and
increasingly is ' in a minoritv
within the GOP. Thus, today
his real necessity is to appeal
to his Democratic friends in
Congress to help him - but,
for heaven's sake, not in heln
him too much and bring out
a bill at which the Present
would not glance twice before
reaching for the veto pen.
It is at this moment that he
most needs the understanding
assistance of the most earnest
advocates of Federal aid. But
precisely because they are so
earnest, they are withholding
that assistance. He wants
somethine. Thev want all or
nothing and are extremely

To the Editor: In regards
to the communication by Mr.
C. T. Sheppard: I want to
thank him for his helpful and
informative reply. If my let
ter had produced no other re
sults than to make him inter
ested enough to write his
views publicly - it was well
worth any effort on my part.
I believe he is the first mill
wright that has taken time to
express his opinions and let
others know exactly what his
problems are in this contro
versy, rnis is wnat we want
Nothing could ever be accom
plished without understanding
both sides of a question.
No, Mr. Sheppard, you are
not being snide in asking why
came here, just humanly
curious. I m not in tne least
ashamed to tell you: To get
out of L. A. smog. Not be
cause I wished to gaze on the
beauties of a mill burner, nor
because I was starving for a
luscious Rogue Valley pear.
For 6 years we visited the
valley at vacation time, each
year it became more difficult
for me to leave. During, this
period it was our big dream
to live in this valley of such
breath-taking beauty. Have
you ever noticed how really
beautiful it is? Or- is it pos
sible you have been here so
long '- you fail to see it? I
admit' it is becoming increas
ingly difficult through the
smoke and haze.
It won't be necessary for
me to change to electric heat,
as that was the first thing we
did when we bought our
home. I know this is not pos
sible for everyone, and we're
thankful we were able to do
it. , - -
Methods of smudging can be
improved without pulling the
trees up by their roots (as I
have heard many homemakers
say in the heat of anger).
I'd like to commend the mill
you're employed with for try
ing different methods of burn
ing. It's a step in the right
direction. Have they given
you a booklet for study called
"Wood Waste Disposal and
Utilization"? published by the
Oregon State Engineering Ex
periment station for the ex
press purpose of serving Ore
gon industry. I'd be glad to
send you a copy, if you djon't
already have one. I'm sure you
would find it very interesting
and helpful in your line ot
work.
I would also like to extend
to you a sincere invitation to
attend a public meeting on air
pollution, to be held at the
courthouse Aug.' 21 at 7:30

Everyone is cordially invit-j
ed in the scramble for defense
contracts. This is no short
term affair.
New York's congressional
delegation, led by Republican
Sens. Jacob K. Javits and
Kenneth B. Keating, has or

committee to work on the
government contracts situa

get a lion's share of the de

to guarantee more competitive

business. "

The question was whether
to restore to the secretary of
state authority to deny pass
ports to suspuected subverts.
He thought he had that power,
and had used it, until the Su
preme Court last year said he
didn't.
Poses Travel Problem
"We are out to encourage
world travel," Murphy ex
plained. "But we are faced
with a problem. That is, the
It must be understood that
just as the West, for all its
best efforts, is lacking in in
sight into the ways of Asia,
so Asia is unsophisticated, in
its understanding of the do
ings of the great powers of
Europe and North America.
Too Much Expected
Asia has all . the cohesive
qualities of quicksilver. But
soundings made by United
Press International through
out the vast area indicate
that, at least from the Ameri
can point of view, too much
is being expected of these his
toric visits of the two most
powerful leaders in the world
today.
The danger is, again from
the American standpoint, that
me sweetness and light will
cut the ground from under
the strong preparedness stand
taken by our allies in Asia
weaken the pro-Western stand
of government leaders in such
countries as Japan and The
Philippines; and strengthen
the hand of the Communists
in the so-called neutralist na
tions of Asia.
Plainly, the fear is that the
visits have been "oversold."
Diplomat Gives Views
Not long ago, this corre
spondent talked at length
witn one of the top American
diplomats in Asia, one with
long experience in East-West
affairs, and one who long
has been advocating "summit
conferences" as often as the
Russians want to hold them
ine Dig lear, ne said, "is
not in meeting with the Rus-
sians-but in giving the world
the idea that something might
result from such meetings."
Ultimately, he reasoned, we
must meet with the Russians.
But if we keep on insisting
we won't meet with them un
less concrete results are as
sured, then we are in danger
of building up for the let
down when "ultimately" we
do get together.

Zablocki said this left him
confused.
You say your purpose is to
control the flow of informa
tion among Communists," he
said. "Yet we have invited the
chief Communist to come -to
our country. This doesn't
make sense." '
Murphy said politely he
thought maybe it did, and
added:
We think this individual
has some warped notions
about this country. We hope
that these rotions may be cor
rected through his personal
observations while here."
Won't Want Contacts
Well, said Rep. Edna F.
Kelly (D-N.Y.) if it's so smart
to invite Khrushchev to this
country, in the hope his erro
neous views might be altered.
wouldn't it also be smart to
let American Communists vis
it Russia the likeliest nlace
of all for a Communist to re
pent of his folly?
-Diplomats never squirm
Murphy just shifted a little in
the witness chair. He said
American subverts in Russia
could contact the International
Communist Movement, and
that's what the State Depart
ment hopes to prevent.
"What's to prevent them
from contacting Khrushchev
while he's here?" wondered
chairman Thomas E. Morgan
(D-Fa.). Murphy said that's
something which, in this coun
try, we can try to control.
Rep. James G. Fulton (R
Pa.) announced that he for
one favors these high level ex
changes with Russia. He even
said Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey (D-Minn.), who talked
to Khrushchev eight hours,
wore out the Soviet leader.
Americans Endanger Selves
Rep. Wayne L. Hays (D
Ohio) thought if there is dan
ger in having American acti
vists go over there, "it must
be 10,000 times as dangerous
to have the number one acti
vist come over here."
He said Khrushchev made
a monkey of Vice President
Richard M. Nixon in their
Moscow TV debate, and that
he may make "the same kind
of monkey" out of Ike unless
the President's speechwriters
sharpen up and his valet does
a better job of matching his
shoes.
Zablocki asked whether, in
the event Congress still is in
session when Khrushchev gels
here about Sept. 15, the State
Department will ask Congress
to invite him up for a speech
No, Murphy answered.
What if he asks for an in
vitation, what are you going
to do?" Hays demanded. -Says
"He Ain't"
"If he asks for one," Mur
phy said, with a smile, "per
haps we might inform you of
his request."
Rep: Leonard Farbstein (D-
N.Y.) said the way he heard
it Khrushchev already has
said he understands this is the
custom and that he would like
to address a joint session of
Congress.
Murphy said Khrushchev is
not chief of state. He's just
head of the government. And
apparently that makes all the
difference. Anyhow, Rep.
Frances P. Bolton (R-Ohio)
said this ought to settle the
question.
Rep. Omar Burleson (D
Tex.) brought out then what
really will settle the question.
He said Speaker Sam Rayburn
already has delivered a state
ment on whether he is or is
not going to ask Khrushchev
to appear in the well of the
House. .
"He said he ain't," was the
way Burleson summarized the
speaker's position.

Rockefeller forces for spread
ing a "Nixon can't win" line
in advancing the governor's
cause.
Bell said a "victory at any
cost" approach does not in
sure public confidence or tlo
justice to the Eisenhower ad
ministration record "on which
our party's candidate must
campaign in 1960."
He said the "can't win'? line
is refuted by public opinion
surveys and has been , dis
proved in every campaign in
which Nixon has been a candi
date. Those backing Nixon can't
hope that such California
backfires alone will block this
political blaze from New
York.
They have a key Nixon
leader fight in Rockefeller's
own domain. He's former Re
publican national chairman
Leonard Hall of New York,
Ex-CAngressman Hall, pro
among political pros, is slated
for a top role in the Nixon
pre-convention campaign.
His value lies not so much
in New York or in California
- -hut in all those political
target areas in between.
