The decision to "postpone for 60 days the
corps of engineers public hearings on the Rogue
basin project proposals probably is a sound one
even though it will delay for as much as two
years any congressional
ect. .
The situation surrounding the proposals was
getting confused. The delay may serve to clear
the air, and offer an opportunity, not only for
additional needed studies by the engineers, but
also to allow various interests to compromise
their differences.
The chances are much better, it seems to us,
that a sound proposal, acceptable to all, can
come of this delay. We hope so, anyway.
AS a matter of fact, there are signs that it may
"be possible for the entire valley to "get to
gether" on a plan. :
The crux of the matter, of course, is the Lost
Creek dam proposal. The other features are en
thusiastically accepted and approved by all par
ties, or are at least non-controversial, with bene
fits either offsetting or exceeding adverse re
sults in all areas of interest.
' But at Lost Creek, the fishery enthusiasts
have feared the fish runs, under the existing pro
posal, would be damaged; the bureau of recla
mation has challenged the geologic findings of
the corps of engineers; the corps itself has
backed up on its earlier finding of feasibility; the
fish and wildlife service has failed to dig up in
formation to show wThat
quirements.
It has, in short, been
reaucracy at its worst,
and coordination being m evidence at all levels.
i
THE delay, then, offers the federal agencies in-
volved a chance to get together and come up
with something they can all support.
If they don't, they will have failed in their
mission, and will repeat what has been described,
mildly, as a suggestion "that the (engineers')
studies have been made at a level somewhat
below our high expectations."
That understatement is from a memorandum
prepared recently by Bill Jess, the energetic
president of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and
Water Resources association.
He also stated:
"In regard to the fishery aspects, it is startling to
now learn that after the years of study, the fish and
wildlife service is unable to indicate how much water
of what temperatures, and during what periods, would
be beneficial to the fishery- Furthermore, (the fish and
wildlife service) advises that it is not their responsi
bility to plan projects for the fishery, but rather to
evaluate the effect of proposed projects on the fish
ery. It is rather like telling an architect to design a
house without telling him your requirements. This
position, in our opinion, is contrary to the purpose of
Public Law 85-624."
THE time is long since
came imperative.
With the two-month
time can be regained. Perhaps the engineers, the
fish and wildlife service,
mation can get together,
Perhaps, even, the
will reconsider what Bill
torical philosophy that a
of progress.
If these agencies buckle down and work out
a feasible plan, taking into consideration the in
terests of all concerned, they will be entitled to
our thanks and praise.
But if the foot-dragging, back-biting, inter
necine squabbling, indecisive reports, pleas of
ignorance and pleas for "more time" continue,
the agencies will be damned from their own
mouths as not knowing how to do their jobs.
E. A.
Eighth Street Bottleneck
Eighth street has turned into a traffic bottle
neck. We hope that when the new bridge is com
pleted it will ease the situation somewhat.
But it won't cure it, for other factors also
serve to back up care along the street to the point
of exasperation to drivers.
One, obviously, is the Southern Pacific tracks,
when switching is in progress, or when a long
freight rumbles by usually at the rash hour.
There doesn't seem to be much that can be done
about that though, short of "persuading" the
friendly SP to do its switching elsewhere:
DUT there are two things which could be done
" that would speed Eighth street traffic flow.
One would be to ban right turns off Eighth
on to Central. Cars at that comer, waiting for
pedestrians to clear the
turn south, are a major

MISUSE OF POLLS
Washington-There is, after
all, some prospect that the
actual voting delegates to the
national nom-
H n a t i n g con-
ventions, and
1 the people
I themselves in
n T 1 I II If
t i booths, may be
J allowed to de
ws' - J - 1 T 71
ciue wuu snail
be ejected
PresiHpnt in
WwhiSS- I960. It had
looked for a time that a dozen
or a thousand public opinion
poUs might be taking over
this task. For months all sorts
of pollsters have been rang
ing about, announcing that
spot checks in the absolutely
typical community of Wine
Sap, South Dakota, were 67.3
per cent for Smith but only
11.67 per cent for Jones, and
so on. Thus it was implied
that Smith, was practically
"in", nationally, and that poor
Jones had clearly been sunk.
THEN, only a short time ago,
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of
New York gave a mighty
boost to this new way of choos
ing a President and saving
the voters all the trouble. He
aUowed it to be understood
that he would decide only on
the basis of how kind the
polls were to him whether
and when he would openly
challenge Vice President Rich
ard Nixon for the I960 Re
publican Presidential nomina
tion. It was pointed out then by
at least one impartial sen
tinel on the political watch-
towers that this was a cozy
plan, indeed. It seemed to as
sume that the way to become
President was this: to depend
upon a simple popularity con
test, conducted among people
of whom not one in 1,000 yet
knew where the aspirant
might stand on any of a dozen
public issues.
Now, however,. Gov. Rocke
feUer has quite rightly spurn
ed this technique which in
plain fact' is a huckster-
nroDaeandist technique, tie
has thus struck a great blow
at noll-madness. He has an
nounced that if and when he
goes all out for the top nom
ination it will be strictly on
his own decision that the job
really needs him and that he
has the qualities and . the
strength to do it well.
HE HAS thus returned his
potential campaign to the
old method by which matters
of such-gravity have always
been settled-and ought to con
tinue to be so settled. He has
recognized that our system
leaves the actual choice of
Presidential nominees to con
vention delegates lawfully

CHARLES PETTIBONE is famous and deeply admired
for his unique recipe for making pancakes. Here is his
precious secret: "Whip up the pancakes just the way you al
ways have. Then take the
juice of one half lime, the
juice of one half lemon, a
generous jigger of bourbon,
and one of maple syrup.
Shake well with cracked,
ice, strain and decorate with
fruit This results in the
finest whisky sour you have
ever tasted. As for the pan
cakes ... use them for pot
holders." Mel Dodson, of Atlantic
City, likes to ask the kids who
wander into Convention Hall,
."What's the difference between unlawful' and 'illegal ?,H The an
swer, of course, is that "unlawful" means "against the law" and
"ulegal" is a sick bird.

chosen to act for their states
and communities. He has rec
ognited that it is these con
ventions, and not anybody's
poll, which choose among
party aspirants and that it
is the people, and not any
body's poll, who make the
final choice as between the
nominees of the parties.
This is in every sense all
to the good-and it is also good
for Mr. Rockefeller himself.
He has behaved as an adult
and thoroughly responsible
politician as Governor of New
York. And his search for the
Presidency is fully entitled
to an equivalent sense of dig
nity and responsibility.
Moreover, by placing him
self squarely and fairly in the
stream of the right and tra
ditional procedure, he is re
jecting a procedure that would
have been unfair and perhaps
even damaging to himself in
the long run.
T70R the public opinion poUs,
though useful in some ways
and surely entirely legal en
terprises, are nevertheless no
part of the electoral system
of this country. This corre
spondent does not argue that
they have been altogether bad.
But the occasional misuse of
such polls has incontestably
been against the true public
interest. Superior men have
more than once been all but
forced out of consideration
for high office by "what the
polls say." Less than superior
men, on the basis of their
actual records, have been more
than once unduly elevated.
The convention method of
choosing Presidential nomi
nees has its faults. But it also
has this unique virtue: con
ventions, on the whole, are
made up of men, who, on the
whole, have far more knowl
edge of the real qualities of
the aspirants than can possibly
be held by the wide, general
public.
The housewife at the sink,
the farmer at his plow, both
occupied with their own pri
vate and pressing concerns,
are not the ideal oracles to
decide, upon two minutes of
reflection, as to who ought to
be nominated by which party.

Pope John
Of Mission Field, Localize Authority
By DANIEL F. GILMORE
Vatican City - (UPD-Pope
John XXIII, with an eye on
nationalist surges in Africa
and elsewhere, is quietly tak
ing the "colonial flavor" out
of part of Catholic Church
administration abroad.
There is no thought of re
laxing any of the ties to Rome
or of the supreme authority
of the Pope.
The idea is to have the
Roman Ctholic Church in
each country run locally -by
natives of that country - in
Africa by the Africans and
not by Italians, Americans,

Many Helped
To the Editor: Hundreds of
people offered assistance dur
ing the recent range and for
est fire, and their aid is deep
ly appreciated. I should like
to mention a number of per
sons and. organizations for
their special assistance.
. Janet Morrison brought
sandwiches and coffee from
Louise Flag's Farmers Cafe
at Talent and Bear Creek
Cafe.
The people of the area
quickly and generously re
sponded to the call for flash
lights which enabled men to
hike up to the hed of the
fire and start backfiring.
Many Ashland men came
ready to work and were in
the key group that worked at
the top end of the fire. They
labored at any assigned task.
The Southern Oregon Con
servation and Tree Farm
radio system helped round up
loggers to work on the fire
lines.
The response of logging
firms with men, tractors and
tank trucks was vital to con
trol of the fire.
Dick Wallace, operator of
Marvin Hammersley's Cat, as
sisted by Duane Nelson with
a light, did a tremendous job
building fire trail Saturday
night up the south perimeter
of the fire. Trail was com
pleted over very steep, almost
impossible, terrain.
Deputy sheriffs, state po
lice, civilian defense and the
Ashland city police assisted
in the control of traffic.
In Ashland, the Plaza Cafe,
the Steak House and the Pal
ace Cafe remained open all
the first night preparing
meals and lunches.
The Salvation Army had
coffee and sandwiches avail
able all night to men going
through the watershed gate.
The Ashland fire depart
ment served as a hiring center
while its men were still busy
on fires. Twin Plunges pro
vided bathing and swimming
facilities for the men coming
off the fire lines.
Mr. Biegel and the city of
Ashland ably provided assist
ance in locating and furnish
ing a suitable fire camp head
quarters in Lithia Park.
The Ashland Tidings, Med
ford Mail Tribune, radio sta
tions KMED, KBOY, KWIN,
KDOV and KYJC, and KBES
TV, were all helpful in fur
nishing news to the public and
in securing manpower and
equipment for the fire-fighting
agencies.

the increasing number of ap

To the Editor: I would like
to submit my obituary for

(Editor's note: Printed below
is Mr. Rose's description of
Johny Watson, written in
March, 1955, according to his
notes. In Mr. Watson's obitu
ary, prepared by the funeral
home following his death last
week, it was reported he was
born in Pittsburgh, Pa., on
Sept. 4, 1879, and came to
Oregon 30 years ago.)
JOHNNY WATSON
Johnny Watson, the oldest
man in the world, was born
in New York state about 1820
Has been a well-known figure
here in Southern Oregon for
more than 60 years, and was
an old man at the time he
came to the valley; He claims
to be an Indian, a veteran of
the Mexican war, a sourdough
prospector in the Yukon gold
rush, claims to have been shot
by claim jumpers, and thrown
in a swift mountain stream,
then recovered and came back
to the states.
Old men here, alive and
dead, all that I ever talked
to of Johnny, say that they
knew him all their lives, and
that Johnny looked just as old
the first time they met him as
he does today.
My first meeting with him,
about 25 years ago, he sur
prised me by saying he was
113 years old.
I can only say that only a
sceptic of the worst sort will
deny that he is a very ancient
person.
His deeds alone prove a lot
of it.
He prospected Roxy Ann
mountain for coal before the
turn of the century. Oak trees
two feet across the stumps,
grow out of the entrances of
his tunnels. Would like to see
the man recognized as the old
one. He is always happy. Very
sharp in some ways, and is an
especially good poker player,
etc.

Portlander Files for
GOP Delegate Post
Salem - (CPD - Sherman
Stanberry, Portland, filed
with the elections division
here today for delegate to the
Republican national conven
tion. His slogan was "reap
proachment between labor,
management, and administra
tion; continuing harmony for
welfare of America."
Stanbery has never filed for
political or elective office be
fore, according to elections
Chief Jack F. Thompson.
But a vast part of the
world, including almost the
entire continent of Africa, is
still "colonial" church admin
istration - in the sense that
in these areas there is no lo
cal native hierarchy or dio
ceses. "Foreigners," regardless of
their good intentions, run the
church locally in these re
gions. Some 50,000,000 of the
world's half billion Catholics
live in areas with no local
hierarchy, or with a native
church leadership still in the
incipient stage.
The driving power behind
This is the process of ask
ing unanimous agreement to
accept a limitation of debate
on a bill, an amendment or
any other matter before the
Senate. A single objection
blocks the request.
Limitation of Debate
In a sense, the consent pro
cedure is "c!oture"-a limita
tion of debate-in advance of
a "filibuster" - the time-honored
maneuver to talk a bill
to death. It is given rather
freely, if sometimes grudg
ingly.
In the House, a rule fixing
the length of debate on ma
jor legislation is granted by
the 12-member House Rules
Committee, the traditional
power arm" of the speaker.
The rule is subject to approval
by the full House.
But a short cut is available
in the "unanimous consent"
procedure that has been used
in the House for years.
One advantage in addition
to its speedup value is that it
letsthe party leaders go off
to other chores and forget
about the "store" until need
ed.
Preserves Leadership Control
This helps preserve leader
ship control and the Senate
is less at the mercy of free
wheeling individual speakers,
Yet the device does not
wipe out the Senate's tradi
tion of individual freedom. A
single senator may object to
its use.
But he seldom does. Such
an agreement normally is not
sought until the leadership
has a pretty good idea that it,
or something close to it, is
acceptable to all. Then there
is always the pressure of ma
jority desire working to si
lence objection. Most members
of the "club" want to be liked
by their colleagues.
The ' evolution is making
the Senate more effective
but less exciting.It it's less
like the unpredictable Senate
of old, it is partly because
there are more "canned"
speeches. This in turn springs
from the addition of press
aides to senatorial staffs.
Few senators now speak
"off the cuff' at any length -or
even just from notes-when
they have something heavy
to unload.
Dirksen-'Old School'
Senate Republican Leader
Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois
is probably the best of the
"old school" orators remain
ing in the Senate; brave
enough to venture out in deep
debate without the rhetorical
life-vest of a prepared script.
The younger Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), who
just loves to talk and will do
so at the drop of a syllable,
is probably the best on the
Democratic side. He, like oth
ers, uses many prepared texts
to help get his speeches into
the newspapers.
Johnson, who is responsi
ble for much of the evolution,
is no verbal slouch when
aroused. He's best when back
home talking to fellow Texans j
in their own colorful terms. I
He's at his Senate best when
the heat of debate brings out
his "natural" speaking style.
Dean of the hold-em-and-
sock-em school, a diminishing
number in the Senate, is Sen.
Robert S. Kerr, the million
aire Democrat from Okla
homa. Th new willingness to con
trol Senate debate may have
some connection with the fact
that more than a third of the
Senate's members served in
the House. They were raised
that way.

In the Day's Hews
By FRANK JENKINS
The news dispatches tell us
that AFL-CIO leaders are di
vided over whether to SNUB
Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev during his visit
to the U. S. next month.
One group of the AFL-CIO
executive council, led by
United Auto Workers Presi
dent Walter Reuther, has pro
posed a face-to-face meeting
between American union of
ficials and the red party boss.
Defending his proposal, Mr.
Reuther says:
"Spokesmen for the Amer
ican labor movement should
tell Khurshchev straight from
the shoulder that they are ir
revocably dedicated to human
freedom and opposed to com
munist slavery."
ANOTHER group, lined up
behind AFL-CIO President
George Meany, is reported to
favor an official boycott of
Khrushchev by the American
labor movement.
The issue was debated yes
terday at a lengthy meeting
of the council's international
affairs committee, and was re
ferred to a 29-man council
for further discussion.
WHAT to do about ?
" " Here are some thoughts:
As good Americans, our la
bor people can't have much
use for Mr. K-who is the
world leader of communism.
Communism is the foe of the
free way of life -which is
America's way of life. Amer
ica's workers are a part of
America's way of life.
But-
Mr. K is an INVITED
guest. He didn't crash the
door. He was ASKED, to
come and look us over. To be
sure, he wanted to come. But
the fact remains that he was
invited.
W1
haven't much use for
him. To know his rea
sons for wanting to come are
not based on any desire to
