Highest Pass
Newspapers in Southern Oregon have been
conducting a battle of the passes.
The Klamath Falls- Herald and News says
the highest point reached on a principal high
way in Oregon is the Quartz Mountain pass, 5,504
feet in elevation, on the highway between Kla
math Falls and Lake view; nearby' on the same
route is Drews Gap, elevation 5,306. But the
Medford Mail Tribune responds that the prize
should go to the summit of the Diamond Lake
cutoff, north of Crater Lake Park. The Eugene
Kegister-Guard admits that the 5,329 feet of the
McKenzie Pass are too few to qualify. ,
There are a number of Oregon highway
passes more than a mile in height. But we're not
sure that elevation is the .only gauge that should
be used. The sharpness of the rise should also
be considered. A mile-high pass in plateau coun
try is little more than a hump in the road. But
a mile-high pass reached in a short run from a
valley makes for a real climb.
Having within the past two years traversed
all the passes mentioned above, we nominate
for the sharpest rise the western approach to
McKenzie Pass. Our car's temperature gauge
agrees. Portland Oregonian. " ;
Why the 'Bad Press'? ....
Last week's issue of the Oregon abor Press
reprinted an article that should be required
reading for every union official (as well as mili
tant member) in the state.
It's by Bill Abbott of the United Rubber
Workers Union.
He tells about being sent into a neighboring
state to conduct a school on labor problems for
a local (union. He dropped by the newspaper
office to' supply a story about the school. An
amazed reporter soon had Abbott in the publish
er's office,where the publisher said:
"You know, you're the first labor man who has
ever been in here in all these years and you have
to come all the way from Ohio. Tell me something, do
we have B.O.? . -
"Our reporters call up the union when there's a
strike on, and the union says: 'No comment.' So we
print management's side of the story and the union
-gets mad. Had the union said something, we would
have printed that too."
e e e e y
ABBOTT goes on to detail the solution, which
is to stop hiding out. He says:
"Even the most conservative papers will print
your side of the story if 'you only give him , the
facts."
And he doesn't overdraw the picture. We'd
be' just about as amazed to see a labor official
walk in. In Salem, it's even difficult to get a "no
fOTTiTTieTit " since some union officials never seem
to be in their offices and
have never "in all these years," for example been

whiu those whose
science is that of dealing with
men believe they discern
another factor in our visiting
adversary from the Soviet
Union. :
He has that . touchiness
which, in the 'capitalistic so
ciety he so scorns, has long
been known as the special
pride of the new-rich. No one
is more contemptuous of the
poor than &. man who himself
has lately climbed up from
among them. This, in the cpn
viction of some who have
talked to Khrushchev, is per
haps the most important key
to what makes him tick.

' gry - perhaps even an
grier than a direct attack .on
Soviet motives ' is any sug
gestion that the Soviet Union
might be in any genuine way
inferior materially to the
West. Over and over he has
made the barbed point, with
little or no provocation, that
he has not come here "to beg
anything of you"; not come
here "hat in hand"; not come
here "with a long hand to try
to get into your pocket!" .
Those of our officials who
may yet have tcr deal with
the details" of one of the Pre
mier's objectives, an increase
in American-Russian trade,
will not find the v going
smooth. For Khrushchev is so
sensitive about the glories of
Soviet production as to make
it risky to insinuate, even that
the iceboxes are bigger in the
United States.
Without suggesting at some
point that maybe you have
one or two items that are bet
ter than his, it is not easy to
trade with another man. .
KHRUSHCHEV has left the
impression in many minds
that he is at least as proud of
Soviet economic and indus
trial achievements as he is of
that famous shot to the moon.
It is an extraordinary exper
ience to sit and listen and re
alize that this head of the vast
apparatus . of conspiratorial
communism sometimes thinks
and talks like a man from the

EBBETS FIELD, all but deserted since the Brooklyn Dodgers

Field was to open in 1913,
not one -of the large and

hour. The keys to the gates
had been lost.
Then came the elaborate

no less devoted to trade fig
ures and .charts .showing high
Soviet oil production.
The feeling, therefore,
grows here that the best way
to deal with this stout, easily
amused and easily angered
tourist may be on something
approaching a strictly mer
cantile basis. This, in turn,
means to deal through con
servative spokesmen with a
special skill for giving what
might be called a high-class
business tone among high
class business equals. .
Khrushchev has a- rather
arch way of expressing fond
ness for those in America who
may be Communists or turned
that way. But it is ten to one
that when it comes down to
real business ,to almost any
aspect of his business here -he
would ignore such charac
ters in total contempt.
PRO - COMMUNISTS have
value to him, that is, as
docile disciples of the per
verse theology of communism.
But Mr. K. - and quite sound
ly, too would never entrust
anything of importance to
such as these. He did not
reach his present place with
out realizing that the loudly
doctrinaire people are nearly
always only windy bores, no
matter ! how earnest their
faith.
If this estimate of the Pre
mier is correct, incidentally,
it raises one ressuring possi
bility: Certainly there are
dangerous . Soviet agents in
this country. But they are ex
tremely unlikely to be among
that rag-tag group of breast-
beating party-liners that Con
gressional committees used to
abuse and to chase so melo
dramatically back and forth
across the political landscape.
Mr. K's agents would be of a
different sort altogether.
- What we have here is a
man who respects power - in
dustrial power quite as much
as military power who plain
ly intends to run more than
one kind of propaganda show.
Not the least of these propa
ganda shows is the one by
which Mr. K. intends to sug
gest that they don't do it any
better in Detroit or Pitts
burgh than they do it in the
Ukraine or Leningrad.

An Incident
To the Editor: Here is a
story which , everybody in
America ought to know in
connection with Mr. Khru
shchev's arrival. In the opin
ion of Frank Laubach it ex
presses beautifully the. deep
universal cravingpf all peo
ples for peace. Mrs. Margaret
Westmoreland, of Canton,
North Carolina, was visiting
Kiev, Ukraine, Russia, a
month and a half ago. This
is her story:
"I was standing under the
statue of a memorial to the
wives and mothers of the dead
Russian soldiers. It was a
statue of two women. On the
arm of each woman was a
wounded soldier. As I stood
there looking at that statue
a great wave of compassion
went out from me, and I pray
ed that God might bring peace
to the hearts of all those who
had suffered. I noticed that
a little distance from me look
ing up at the same statue
stood two old Russian wom
en. As I stood loking at them
I felt that perhaps they, had
lost a husband or a son and
that they had come there to
pay. tribute. All of a sudden
my heart was so full of love
for them that I started to
pray for them too. When I
looked up they were walking
toward me with such kindly
faces that . I automatically
reached out my hands to
.them. Before I knew it we
were embracing each other
and weeping. Neither of us
could speak a word of the
other's language, but in our
hearts we read each other's
thoughts. We were hoping and
nraying like hundreds of mil
lions of other fathers and
mothers like us ,that there
might never, be another war
and that our countries might
join hands in love.
"As Mr. Khrushchev comes
to America I believe it is an
answer to the prayers and
longings of the common pe
pie of the world. And I hope
and pray ' that America will
welcome Mr. Khrushchev
with the same love and
warmth as I felt from the Rus
sian people last July when
I ws there." .
I received this from my sis.
ter who met Frank Laubach
at a religious conference this
past summer. We are so prone
to Dass on only the bad things
we hear about others. So I felt
compelled to pass this on to
you for what it is worm.

Matter of Fact By Joseph AIsop
WILL HE. WONT HE?
Washington - While Nikita
Sergeyivich Khrushchev tours
the United States, the inner
group of
American
V policy -makers
wait for the
answer to the
key question
- about this
'i strange -but
historic visit.
Will he, or
will he not

change hii
his previous1 estimate of
American and Western pow
er, as a result of what he sees
here in this country? This is
the key question about the
Khrushchev visit, which will
only be ! answered when he
gets down to serious business
with President Eisenhower at
Camp David.
The inner " policy - making
group think this is the key
question for a fairly simple
but unpalatable reason. They
believe that Khrushchev came
to this country with the con
viction that the Soviet bloc
has already decisively, out
stripped the Western bloc in
crude military strength. Some
even suspect that Khrushchev
interpreted the President's in
vitation to America as an ad
mission of weakness. If this
is true,. Khrushchev has most
certainly arrived here in no
mood for opening true nego
tiations, but In the expecta
tion of dictating his own
terms. ,- ,
'
UNFOR TUNATELY, the
evidence is strong that the
Khrushchev' estimate of the
world power-balance is just
what the inner group of poll
cymakers fear. The persistent
threat to West Berlin is part
of the evidence. The Com
munist attack on Laos is
another part of the evidence
The tone Khrushchev " took
with W. Averell Harriman is
still another part. So are
Khrushchev's formal, public
pronouncements, like this
Moscow speech to the Soviet
Communist Party Congress

press him with all of our
fancy gadgets, automobiles,
homes, televisions. Apparent
ly he isn't much impressed
for he says "Russia will soon
pass you by." Then he gous
on to impress us with their
scientific achievements and
we are . impressed - even to
the extent we have seemed to
forget Hungary and the others.
I think we've put our faith,
upon falseness and made a
great mistake.
Lest we. all become blind
and taken in by the charm
and clever words of Khru
shchev Let's consider these
things: .
1. How and why did Amer
ica come to be in the first
place? Did God have a part
in it or not? Consider the
Constitution and the men who
wrote it. They all became
angry, we're even picking up
their hats and coats and get
ting ready to leave, - when
Benjamin Franklin said "Wait
a minute gentlemen. This
country was conceived in faith
in God. Many of us here be
lieve in prayer. Let us get
upon our knees and pray Al
mighty God and see whether
God shall give us the answer
to our dilemma and problem1."
Upon their knees these men
went, and out of that prayer
meeting came the immortal
document, the Constitution of
the United States. Even our
coins read "In God we trust"
but do we?
2. Upon what does Russia
put their faith - God or
Science? Maybe some of us
should ask ourselves the same
question.
3. These riches we seek to
impress Khrushchev with -to
whom or what do we give
credit for these blessings?
You figure it yourselves-if
we too put all our faith. on
material things or Scientific
things - giving . God second
place shall we also become
Communist slaves?

Peace Is Relative . N
Foreign observers are ap
plauding President Charles de
Gaulle's new definition j of
peace in Algeria - fewer than
200 killed per year in battles
or street attacks. The defini
tion by-passes provisions for
7 :
"The scale is already tip
ping' in favor of the peace
loving countries and not in
favor of the imperialist
states," he proclaimed in the
political part of his speech.
And later he went on: "It is
high time ; for the American
strategists to come out of their
fool's paradise - that in the
event of a military conflict,
the territory of the United
States would remain invul
nerable. For a long time now,
this has (been) nothing more
than wishful thinking on the
part of America's generals.
As a matter of fact, the Soviet
Union today has the means to
deliver a crushing blow to the
aggressor at, any point of the
globe."
Because of such evidence as
this, both the American Em
bassy in Moscow and . the
American intelligence ana
lysts in Washington fear that
Khrushchev believes he has
gained the whip-hand in the
military sphere. Needless to
say, both the Moscow v Em
bassy and the Intelligence
analysts hope and think that
this belief of Khrushchev's is
completely mistaken. But un
less Khrushchev can be con
vinced of his mistake, the
course of the coming talks at
the White House wiU be con
trolled by his opinion about
the world power balance.
much more than by the real
state of the power balance,
As the American Strategic
Air Commander, Gen. Thomas
Power, has said: "If our nu
clear deterrent is to work as
a deterrent, how much dam
age we' can actually do to
them matters much less than
how much damage they think
we can do to them."
-
twti. fowek'S remark is
extra-relevant for a spec
ial reason. The Soviet lead in
missiles, which Khrushchev is
so continuously emphasizing
by joke and boast, is by no
means the only factor con
tributing to his confidence. In
the opinion of the American
analysts in fact an even
stronger contributing factor
is probably the improvementl
of the Soviet air defense sys
tem, which has caused a
change in what "they think
we can do to them." .
It is not at aU clear how
Khrushchev's views on, these
crucial points are going to be
changed by his American
tour. He may be persuaded
that he has been wrong in
supposing "the broad masses"
do not support this country's
foreign policy, as he stated in
his Feb. 5 speech above-quoted
and also told Averell Harri
