Ewald has been a caustic critic of what he has dubbed the "boob tube" that is, the little box, TV. He has done so out of conviction. And we're glad the top brass of the UPI saw fit to give him his head. For, as he said in his valedictory column last week, television, as a whole, "is falling down on the job badly, succumbing to the tyranny of majority tastelessness, land - sliding us under with garbage. TV should be scolded constantly and severely. So should you who sit and accept." 117E HAVE disagreed often with Ewald's as- sessments of particular programs in par ticular the fairy-tale Westerns, to which we are addicted simply because they offer nonsensical relaxation and "escape." But such disagreements are only on particu lars, not on the general worth and quality of television today. We do agree with Ewald that television has such a tremendous potential "for expanding the horizons of all of us" that it is in the nature of tragedy that it has so miserably failed to live up to a fraction of the potential. When it is good, television can be fantastical ly good, but, like the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead, w7hen it is bad, it is horrid. E.A. Outdoors in Oregon - 1 1 Each time it is our good fortune to travel through a part of Oregon, we come home rein forced and refreshed in our belief that we live in a particularly favored part of the world. Much of the face of this state is being changed so rapidly that it is difficult to compre hend. There are the wide freeways and the acres of asphalt parking lots; the burgeoning "fringe" business sections on the approaches to cities ; the smoke and stink of growing industry; the blight of billboards and the scars of logging (which, it is to be hoped, will be cured with time and re forestation). But there are many thousands of square miles of Oregon which remain relatively untouched, and which are beautiful beyond description. TTHE Cascades the "backbone" of Oregon -rWvm trio droart Rru-innrc to trio PnllTrYlVlin Gorge, offer one long "panorama of wooded hills, gem-like lakes and rocky peaks. To the west, , the green grandeur to the and to the tucked-m valleys of the Umpqua and Rogue. - To the east the high thousands of acres of jack pine gradually changes into the sagebrush desert with only rimrocks, junipers and gullies to break the somehow-fascinating monotony. .

New products have made camping so easy and pleasant, that thousands'upon thousands of peo ple now are roughing it with tents, sleeping bags and gas (or electric) lanterns and stoves. And those who are willing to drag trailers along the highway have an evjen higher standard of luxury, but still can get the feeling of "living in the out of doors." ; This pressure has made the facilities for the campers' accommodation sadly out of date and totally inadequate. And the best efforts of the state, county and federal governments have not been enough to meet the demand. CTEPS are being taken to solve this problem. But , it cannot be solved on any one level of government (or, for that matter, by private enterprise) alone. Congress has taken cognizance of the prob lem to the extent of approving somewhat higher expenditures for forest service and national parks recreational use. But to date the amounts avail able are pitifully inadequate to, do the job needed. The state of Oregon is far ahead of some other states in the development of- state parks. But here, too, the demand is in excess of the job being done. And the counties of Oregon are just now getting a good grip on the problem. Douglas and Lane counties in particular have made a start. Jackson is in the beginning stages, and sort of feeling its way. v All of these efforts need to be stepped up and intensified, for this tion is not only popular and growing more so, but it is also one of the most wholesome forms of recreation possible. E.A. YCC Takes a Step The Senate last week passed the "Youth Con servation Corps" bill, providing for a new organ ization patterned somewhat on the (JCU ot the 19308. It is to be hoped, the House will also approve it. ; . . Among other benefits (and they are many), such an organization could do much to alleviate the deteriorated and inadequate recreational facilities mentioned above.

Can't "Go Along" Any More To the Editor: "Go along with them," Mr. Trask says in his communication Tuesday. What have we been doing the past several years? You can "go along" just so far, then you begin to realize that noth ing is going to be accomplish ed as long as you have that attitude. With the help of a very capable man in charge of air pollution abatement, Eugene's lumber industry got down to brass tacks,. and solved their problem successfully. I see no reason why Medford can't do the same. " As I understand it -if a burner is in good repair, has tangential inlets for overfire air, and the excess air is held between 300 and 500 per cent, it would greatly reduce smoke and cinder emission. Now, the question arises, are all the burners in the val ley in good repair? Are they all being operated in the man ner prescribed for more com plete combustion? If not, why not? Mr. Trask mentions the high cost of replacing orchard heaters.1 (No mention, of course, of the practice of burning old tires still used by some orchardists.) What about t'e cost to mer chants and householders be cause of soil (or should I say oil) damage to merchandise and home- furnishings? You would think cleaning estab lishments would be the only ones -to gain-but I've been told that even "they didn't profit from the smudge-ev-erything that had been clean ed, when the Big Black Cloud came -had to be cleaned again! We had a bad smudge five years ago too, remember? I believe the Fruit Growers as sociation said then that the orchardists would replace their heaters at the rate of 20. per cent a year. According to my figures -it should have been 100 per cent .by last spring. I'm sure some orchardists have cooperated in this pro gram, and, we thank them. But. for those who haven't we can no longer afford to go along with them." Mrs. Leonard Matheus, 1124 West 10th St., Medford. Suggests Controlled Burning To the Editor: Let's Keep Oregon Green.

My suggestion is this: Begin ning New Years, 1960, com mence burning the forest lends as soon as any place is dry enough to burn; keep this up as fast as the woods get dry enough to burn. Don't let the woods pile up in same shape as it always has, so when a fire gets started, which it will, the devil and all his ai gls could not get it out.i Give the forest ranger all the help he needs to keep all dry spots burned oft, and to protect all the new planting of trees that has cost so much, to preserve the forest. These fires can and must be prevented, . only by beating the fire to it. Commence say in May or June 1960 depend ing on weather and how soon woods get dry enough to burn, Don't let it pile up again, and have these repeated disaster fires. Cost too much? Well, compare with what we now have. Besides we save our tim ber and the new plants now planted. This is just a gist of what I would like to say. I've been in t-ie Oregon country some 60 years; my coming birthday I will be 93. Let's hear more on this sub ject. We know what we now have is not working and is not workable. C.C.Harper P. O.

TO FEED Wheel at Win Congressional Battles; Veto Helps By RAYMOND LAHR . Washington - (UPD - When President Eisenhower starts to win congressional battles over labor, housing and high ways the political wheel has taken just about one full turn. A year ago, with the slim mest of majorities, the Demo crats had the Eisenhower Ad ministration and the GOP on the defensive. Senate Demo cratic Leader Lyndon B. John son, for example, seemed to be dragging the Republican Ad ministration into an admission that unemployment was high and that something had to be done about it. With nothing but overcon- fidence to worry about, the Democrats felt they had the congressional elections won before the first votes were counted. Now they are on the de fensive. Triumphant Week for Ike Last week was a triumphant and perhaps symbolic one for President Eisenhower in . his relations with the Democratic Congress. Over the opposition of the Democratic leadership and ' a majority of. the Democratic members, the House approved a tough labor reform legisla tion which carried his en dorsement. And the Senate sustained his veto of the hous ing bill. The labor vote apparently resulted from a public clamor to support Ike when he asked De Gaulle, Paris Soon By ARTHUR HIGBEE Paris - (UPD - Gen. Charles de Gaulle and President Ei senhower will meet here on Sept. 2. : It will be their first meet ing since 1951 when Eisen hower was supreme command er of the allied powers in Eu rope. It will mean more to De Gaulle than an opportunity to discuss what Eisenhower plans to talk about with Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev. For it also will give the French President a chance to sound out the American Presi dent on how the U. S. will vote in the Algeria debate in the United Nations this fall. August was the time orig inally suggested for meeting De Gaulle, It should have been simple enough for De Gaulle to put his Algeria date forward or back to accommo date Eisenhower. Insists on Trio .

As he felt the A p a c h e's hot breath, he swung around with his Bowie knife. Unfortunate ly he hit an overhanging rock, broke it at the hilt. His spell bound listeners asked:-"What happened then?" He remained thoughtful a moment and then said: "Why that was when I died." , One can frequently see an equally exciting duel on a California trail this month. Once we watched for more than an hour one between a good sized spider and a shiny black wasp. The mother wasp seemed to know that the spi der could be as dangerous to her as a rattlesnake to a hu man.' Finally she succeeded in stinging him at the very nerve ganglion that produces the de sired paralysis. When she was satisfied that the spider was in a proper coma, she carried him off to her cell, deposited her egg. Thus the reproduc tion cycle was arranged tor. A new generation could be ex pected after next winter's ice. This ability of wasps to paralyze a spider, and then put it in cold storage instead of killing it outright, which would result in its decompo sition, is one of 100,000 mira cles observable when a child is led. to "read a trailside like a book."

Full Turn; compromise and keeps his own counsel about a veto rfor more stringent controls on unions. The veto threat has been even more effective. A majority of the Senate voted to override the housing veto but the move failed when less than, the required two thirds supported it. Less Bashful Now Eisenhower seemed unable or unwilling to wave the veto threat last year. But now he is less bashful. The veto gives him the equivalent of 16 votes in the Senate and 72 in the House. As he has said, the constitu tion makes him part of the legislative process. What has happened to the union-supported labor bill which Sen. John F. Kennedy Washington Post Gets Co r re ct Version of Rogue River Name A Rogue by any other name would smell as sweet to Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.), who found himself yes terday in' the unseemly posi tion (for a Congressman) of admitting candidly: "I was wrong." The admission came in a letter to this newspaper con ceding that its account of how the Rogue River in Oregon won its name was correct: be Ike to Meet in for Discussions Algeria first. Eisenhower read ily agreed. , Reports immediately blos somed that De Gaulle was going to do something spec tacular. One rumor was that France would explode her first atomic bomb in the Sa hara desert during De Gaulle's Algerian trip. The French gov ernment took pains to deny that any such test was planned. The more persistent word has been that De Gaulle may come out with a new plan for Algeria - either a new ap peal to the Algerian rebels to lay down their arms, or an In the Day's News By FRANK Sad news: Fleet Admiral William F. Bull Halsey, commander of the Third Fleet in the Pacific during World War II and lead er of America's first offensive move after Pearl Harbor, died Sunday in his sleep. . "DULL HALSEY had what it takes to win wars. His strategy in the Pacific was simple. It was based on this formula: "Kill Japs.. Kill more Japs. Sink ships, sink more ships. Hit hard. Hit fast. Hit often." It sounds brutal. It IS bru tal. War is brutal. General Sherman said it all when he said WAR IS HELL. But the best motto js GET IT OVER AND GET IT DONE WITH. That was Halsey's motto. TTE HAD grim stick-to-it-ive-ness as have all great field generals. Also he had color. He swore he would ride the Emperor's white horse in Tokyo. HexDID ride a white horse in Tokyo. It wasn't the emperor's. The First Cavalry division scour ed Japan, but couldn't find the Emperor's horse. It couldn't even find an all-white horse. The nearest it could come was a white horse with a dark mane and fetlocks. Bull Halsey RODE IT in the outskirts of Tokyo. Japan is now perhaps our most trust ed ally. GREAT soldiers are admired even by the enemy. GENERAL George Patton was one of these greats. They tell this story of him: In the fighting that followed the junction of our Normandy forces and our army that came up from the Mediterranean, a tank battalion that had come up from the south was going into action with sand-bagged tanks - a trick they had learn ed as they fought their way up the Rhone valley.

Housing Bill Still in Doubt : On housing, Senate Demo crats backed, up. a little but only a' little. Eisenhower calls part of the new bill objection able but admits legislation is cause the roguish Indians liv ing along the stream stole from the pioneers. On July 28, Porter took The Washington Post to task in a letter to the editor for sug gesting that any .rogues,' In dian or otherwise, may have given the river its name. In stead, he explained, French trappers first came upon the river at a rare flood time when the waters were muddy, enlargement of his "Constan tine" plan for Algeria's eco nomic regeneration.. However, the present Con- stantine plan is already an economic mouthful. De Gaulle himself is understood to feel that it is too much for France to chew as long as the war drags on. As to any cease-fire appeal, the potent "French Algeria" bloc is as opposed to any con cessions to the rebels. Yet if De Gaulle offers no concessions, the rebels are ex tremely-unlikely to heed any new appeal until after the U. N. debate is finished. JENKINS a rolling hill and down the other side a command car roared into view. Standing erect in it was a general offi cer, his long hair streaming in the wind. He was yelling at the top of his voice: "Get those - bags off those tanks, you so-and-so's. Do you want to live forever?" They took off the bags. They grumbled and they cursed. But they LOVED the crazy general - who was GEORGE PATTON. They'd have follow ed him to hell and back. GENERAL Phil Sheridan was that kind of soldier. In the bloody and terrible campaign perhaps the blood iest and most terrible in the history of war - that broke the back of General Lee's Ar my of Virginia and ended the War between the States, Gen eral Sheridan came time and again upon a stricken field, with his men streaming back in defeat and confusion. The mere sight of him was enough to turn the day. Back ed by the magic of his pres ence - on his black horse, wearing his civilian derby hat - men who were fleeing in terror turned around and went back into battle and snatched victory from defeat. Men like that are LEAD ERS. Born leaders. As long as we have them we'll be invinci ble. SOMEWHERE in Valhalla -Or in Avalon - .

' We Never Close than while the outcome is in doubt,' In a minor league contest, Eisenhower objected to one provision of the TVA pond financing bill. But he finally signed it. In what looked like a deal, Congress promptly passed, a separate bill to re peal the offensive section. - His heavy commitment for balanced budget and against inflation underlies most; but not all of Eisenhower's argu ments with Congress. He is said to object to talk about the "new Eisenhower'' but has been persuaded or has persuaded himself to take a more belligerent stand. ". But if the political wheel has turned once, it can turn again. The votes in 1960 will not be counted for more than 14 months. a sort of red. So they called it 'rouge which in French means 'red. Then along came the more or less untutored pioneers who mispronounced 'rouge' by saying 'rogue'," wrote Porter. Back in Porter's district the editor of the Medford Mail Tribune, in a roguish mood himself, chided the Congress man. "Tut, tut Charlie," the paper editorialized, "You who have fished the Rogue. camped beside it, and who are attempting to harness it to better purposes, should know better." With a flourish of author ity; the newspaper cited Lew is A. McArthur's "Oregon Geographic Names," the de finitive work on such matters. The book confirms that the French trappers found the In dians "a peculiarly trouble some lot" and hence called them "Les Coquins" (the rogues) and the stream "La Riviere aux Coquins" - (the Rogue River). The spurious account, it ap pears, originated in a letter by one Max Pracht ' to the Portland Oregonian on Dec. 20, 1904, and was refuted the same day by Harvey W. Scott, the Oregonian's famous editor. "Rogue it was, Rogue it has been, and Rogue it is," the Mail Tribune's squelching ed itorial concluded with just a touch of contented , smugness.
