Porter (D-Ore) has proposed that the "spoils system" be taken out of the census. Porter, a mem ber of the census subcommit tee of the house committee on Post Office and Civil Service, attacked political hiring of census enumerators in a speech last week on the floor of the House of Representa tives. Porter said he felt the time had come in U. S. political history to apply to census tak ing the same high principles of administration that are ap plied to all other government projects employing American citizens. Census enumerators are now hired by means of a procedure which census offi cials call the "referral sys tem," which means that can didates are referred to hiring officials by local Republican functionaries. In calling for an end to po litical selection, Porter sug gested that the bureau of the census should assume full re sponsibility for the hiring of all personnel required to take the census. He said he felt civil service procedures for such a short period of time would be expensive, unwieldy and impractical. "It is my special duty," said Porter, "as a member of the subcommittee, to be concerned and to speak out for honesty, competence and economy." He noted that the 1960 census would be the most expensive in history. The cost has been estimated at $118,000,000, al most $30,000,000- above the cost of the 1950 census.

Russian Premier Said Not Seeking Data on Strength ..(Continued from page one) Khrushchev is not coming to Washington to learn any thing about us or our strength that he does not know al ready. The real purpose of his visit is to appraise our determination and will to stand up and resist Communist aggression and mischievous probings around the world. Khrushchev's main objec tive, I believe, is to see wheth er he can divide us as a peo ple and lure us into com promising our rights. . He would also seek by every means to divide us from our allies and then go about pick ing them them off one by one. Since Khrushchev has the initiative to make war, he also has the advantage of be guilding us with offers of peace. This is where Khru shchev is most dangerous and why we have to be exceeding ly careful about maintaining our strength and never letting down our guard. Most Unfortunate It would be most unfortun ate if by the exchange of visits we allow the Russians or the j world to gain the impression mat we are being lulled into complacency. I hope that Khrushchev, 'when he leaves here, will have a clearer understanding of what he and the Kremlin are up against in American determination to stand with our allies. Let us be sure that it is a more accurate and realistic evaluation than eith er Mikoyan or Koslov seem ed to have got out of their visits. Disregarding all the cere monies that will be connected with Krushchev's visit a visit that I have favored it is in Washington that Khru shchev must learn conclusive ly where and how we stand. The reception accorded the President in Moscow will have little bearing on Khrushchev's decisions and acts and that is why I feel that little pur pose will be served and a great deal of misunderstand ing might arise from the Pres ident's return of Khrushchev's visit'. Could Be Distorted There are all sorts of inter pretations that can be given to a visit by - a President of the United States, and such a journey to Russia could be distorted for propaganda pur poses beyond the announced intent. The claim that the ten sions of the cold war between the East and the West could be lessened by such visits is to ignore the basic reasons for the cold war. I do not think the Com munists are impressed by any thing evcept force. They do not respond to tough talk un less that talk is backed by force. The only way to insure peace is to make certain that they who threaten understand that we will fight if given no other choice. Up to now I see no evi dence that the Communists have changed their goal, which is to impose their rule on the world. This we have to prevent. Should Invite Allies One place where we must make that clear to Khru shchev is at the White House. Equally important is that our allies and friends should never have reason to entertain any misgivings as to the firmness of this resolve. I think it would have been more in keeping with our responsi bilities and our leadership to have invited the heads of al lied governments and the Sec retary General of NATO to come to Washington before Khrushchev's visit to this country. This would- have been an opportunity to re mind the' world, and our selves as well, that our se curity and peace are mutually interdependent. But in his decision to visit Bonn, Paris and London in preparation for his meeting with Khrushchev in Washing ing, the President has the complete support of a nation united. I cannot say it too often that the proper place to con duct any negotiations affect ing the peace of the world is in the United Nations. The world has had all it ought to stand from the maneuvering Fifty-Five Years Of Quality nider's Quality DAIRY FOODS The Family Council Editor's note: The Fanll Counci consists ol a judge a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspapei ed toi a women's editor and two writers.

I want to visit! Al at his home. Mrs. L. R. She's too young for that. Harriet R. I am 18 and a freshman at a junior college near my home. Recently I have been going out with a boy of 20 who goes to a near-' by teachers' college and who! comes from a farm very far from my home. When he returned home for vacation Al asked me to come to his home for about a week. I have never been on a real farm and I am dying to go, but my mother thinks it wouldn't be proper. With his mother and father and four younger sisters and brothers to chap erone us, I don't see what could be improper about it. I think I am in . love with Al and he with me, but we haven't talked of marriage yet. I think he may be too shy. Anyway, I'm sure he's never asked a girl to travel so far to visit him. Mrs. L.R. I think Harriet is entirely too young to go traveling alone to visit men at their homes. It would be different if Al had proposed to her. Then I would at least know that his intentions were all they should be. Al looks like a very nice boy and has always behaved beautifully here. He must come from a good family, but after all how can can you be really sure? You hear so many things these days. Another thing I don't like about this trip is the idea that Al may have asked Harriet to his home to have his family look her over before he pro poses. I think she may be em barrassed by this. She's a very senstitive girl and I wouldn't want her to be subjected to. an unpleasant experience. The Council: Much of Mrs. L. R.'s uneasiness could have been cleared by a letter from Medford Office Opened by Firm Charles R. Brown, Port land, has been appointed di visional manager of the new divisional office of Waddell and Reed Inc., which opened in Medford Aug. 1. The office, located in the Century building, 843 East Main st., will serve northern California and southern Ore gon. Waddell and Reed is the principal underwriter of United Funds Inc., one of the nation's mutual funds. Prior to the establishing of the local office, the area was covered by a representative. Cloest office were in Eugene or San Francisco. Between 18 and 20 reresen tatives will operate out of the local- office, Brown said. Brown, who has moved to Medford, will be joined by his family later this month. and bickerings of nations seek ing to exploit others. The United Nations has played an increasingly important role in focusing the light of world opinion on transgressors. New Kind of Menance In this period of transition from old exploitive colonial ism to indpendent and nation alism, let us not overlook the growing menace of a new brand of colonialism the Red exploitive colonialism. If Russia is sincere in her professed desire- for peace, Khrushchev ought to come be fore the United Nations to try to work out a constructive plan for disarmament and con trol of nuclear weapons and to cease interfering in the in ternal affairs of other nations. But from experience we ought to know that plans, resolu tions and agreements made by the Communists up to now are meaningless. What the world needs is a show of good faith by peaceful acts and deeds by Khrushchev and not through visits, fan fare and gala performances. While we are striving to achieve some common work ing ground for .peace with the Communists, we are compel led to maintain and build our military might, no matter what the cost. Al's mother telling her that Al has spoken of Harriet, that she is always eager to meet her friends and that she has a pleasant room for the girl with one of her own daugh ters. However, since such a let ter has'nt come, it would not be amiss for Mrs. L.R. to write to Al's mother telling her that her daughter has never paid such a visit before and that she is somewhat uncertain about the advisability of it. She should be able to judge from the answer whether or not Harriet will be safe, com fortable and welcome in the household. We think a letter from the feminine head of the house is always in order in a case like this, but outside of this factor we can see no potential harm and much potential good in this visit. If Al has behaved well at all times in the past, it is a fairly certain sign that he comes from a good .family, The fact that he likes to in vite his friends to his home also speaks well for him. If he is thinking about marriage, he is very wise to invite Har riet to his home where she can be "looked over" by his family. After all, she will be looking them over too. If she can fit in well with his family, it is one promising sign for the future. If she cannot, it would be better to know it now than later. It is very good for young men and women contemplat ing marriage to know one another in circumstances oth er than those afforded mere ly by dating. Harriet will have an iaeal opportunity to see Al's relationships with mem bers of his family. She will see how he spends his time, whether or not he generally good humored, cooperative and self-sufficient. It helps to know the best and the worst about these things before tak ing the plunge.

Cohen Addresses Lawyer Group Miami Beach, Fla.-flJID-Mob-ster Mickey Cohen, 45, who has faced enough attorneys to pick up considerable legal jargon, flew here Sunday to address a lawyer's group on how to pay your income tax. Cohen made a five-minute talk at the ninth annual Belli Trial Lawyer's Seminar, orig inated in 1951 by San Fran cisco attorney Melvin Belli. The seminar was not con-, nected with the five-day con vention of the American Bar Association which opened to day. Belli, who defended Cohen in Los Angeles last week, said the trip served as a brief va cation for Cohen and gave them a chance to get together privately for talks. Cohen said he was getting $2,500 and expenses for a speech on "Crime Does Not Pay," but Belli said there was no pay involved. Belli said Cohen's off-the-cuff talk lasted about five minutes. He estimated that 300 of the 800 lawyers regis tered for the one-day seminar were in the audience. Belli said he asked Cohen to advise the group if it were hpct tn nav incnm tsi-v Kc I cash or by check. People try it ...You've heard it over and over, Carling Black Label Beer is the beer to try.
