Thank You, Gentlemen
For about the past week, this space has been
taken, on and off, by editorial writers on vari
ous Oregon daily newspapers.
This was the expedient used during the con
valescence of "E. A." from a bad cold to bring
timely, Oregon-written editorials to the ' Mail
Tribune's readers.. ...,. -: :"
' From our standpoint, the experiment (and
the. expedient) was a success. For, generally
speaking, Oregon's daily newspaper editorials
measure up to those written anywhere.
(XNE of the most rewarding parts of the job
of being an editor is the opportunity to read
other Oregon newspapers, and particularly the
comments of their editorial writers on topics of
common interest.
They represent just about every shade of po
litical and economic thinking, ranging from ultra
conservative to liberal. Their beliefs are often
in conflict, and they make no bones about it.
The writing varies from sparkling to dull.
But all are honest, and all are based on what
the writers feel to be the public interest.
MOT infrequently, other Oregon editorials have
' appeared on this page in the 'Editorial Com
ment" column, and have been reprinted here on
Mondays in recent months, supplementing "E.
R. R.", a syndicated editorial service (Editorial
Research Reports) , which, while excellent in its
own field, cannot have the same local punch as
pieces written on the scene.
, It might be of interest to mention the Ore
gonian editors whose pieces have appeared here
from time to time, Here are some :
Charles A Sprague, editor and publisher of
the Oregon Statesman in Salem, former governor
of: Oregon, a man universally respected for his
fairness, his sage perspective,; and his usually
unemotional but comprehensive assessment of
Oregon's (and the nation's) problems.
J. Wesley Sullivan, alsoyof the Statesman, a
graduate of the University of Oregon, and a
former Nieman Fellow who studied at Harvard
for a year on a fellowship granted only to out
standing young newspapermen.5 - - ':'
''C
I. W. (Bud) Forrester Jr.,editor and publisher
of the East Oregonian inPendleton, a gradu
ate of Oregon State college, now a member of
the state board of higher education, a man whose
opinions are respectfully sought in a dozen dif
ferent fields. -.. ; ;':
Robert Frazier, associate editor of the Eugene
Register-Guard, another U of O graduate, and
another former Nieman Fellow. He is a mem
ber of the Oregon state parks advisory commit
tee, and writes frequently on recreational and
educational affairs.
Charles V. Stanton,
the Roseburg News-Review, whose chief inter
ests lie in conservation, politics and local ad
ministration.: He is one of the few who writes
under a by-line, and uses the pronoun 'T in hisj
column, rather than the "editorial we."
Robert W. Chandler,
of the Bend Bulletin, a graduate of Stanford, and
an outspoken controversialist, who says what he j
means bluntly and cogently, and without . any
cnance oi Deing misunaersiooa.
PHIL F. Brogan, associate editor of- the Bulle-
acknowledged experts
meteorology, meteors,
have-you in the field of the natural sciences.
Forrest W. Amsden, executive editor and as
sociate publisher of the Coos Bay World, one of
the few really liberal editorial writers in the
state, who leaves this month for a Congressional
Fellowship in Washington, where he will serve
on the staffs of several different Congressmen.
His pieces are trenchant, outspoken, and read
with respect, even by those who differ.
Jim Welch, editorial page editor of the Salem
Capital Journal, another U of O graduate, whose
forte is in sprightly, sometimes flippant, com
mentary, seasoned by hard work and study.
George Putnam, editor emeritus of the C-J,
and formerly editor (many years ago) of the Mail
Tribune, whose crusty, outspoken criticisms of
what he believes to be sham and deceit are often
coupled with descriptive bits of background in
formation on news of the day. -
.' ,
"THERE are others whose names and styles are
"Ness frequently in evidence, or who are not
so readily identifiable, but who contribute much
to make Oregon's editorial pages often provoca
tive and nearly always readable.
In addition, some of the best editorials are
written by editors of weekly papers, and some
of these have also appeared on this page. We
mention specifically William Tugman, of the Port
Umpqua Courier in Reedsport, Ralph Stuller of
the Coquille Valley Sentinel, and Giles French
of the Sherman County Journal in Moro.
For your inadvertent but much-appreciated
help, gentlemen, much thanks. E. A.

Matter of Fact
"THE PEACE ISSUE"
Washington - The first re
turns are now in on the Demo
cratic party's reaction to what
the politicians
call, with
cheerful cal-
lousness, 'the

than justice,
when they
suggest that
Joseph Alsop
he i.has started , negotiating
with- Nikita S. Khrushchev
with one eye on the next elec
tion.. They are equally unjust
to the American people (or so
one hopes), when they fore
cast that the voters will be ab
solutely delighted : by any
peaceful result of the new ne
gotiations with the Soviets,
even including a Munich-like
result. .- -:
: All the same, although he
has not yet borrowed Ueville
Chamberlain's leftover um
brella, President Eisenhower
has effectively draped himself
in the peacemakers' mantle.
A large corner of the mantle
also covers Vice-President
Nixon. These facts quite cer
tainly constitute a political
prbblem-of the first order for
the Democratic party. Above
aU, this is a problem for the
Democratic Presidential hope
fuls.'7 "
. :
IT IS even harder to be
against peace than' against
motherhood. Hence all Demo
crats must n-.tu- eJly be tempt
ed to shout "me too," as the
British Labor party did in
the 1930s. But this process of
negotiating with the Soviets
needs to be watched and de
bated with relentless realism.
This much we ought to have
learned from President Roose
velt's experiences with Joseph
Stalin. Hence the first Demo
cratic reactions to the "pea:e
issue" are healthy and encour
aging, whether or not you
agree with them in detail.
The bluntest reaction came
from Dean G. Acheson. In a
speech delivered in Germany,
Acheson sternly attacked the
President's acceptance of the
Soviet thesis that the Berlin
situation is "abnormal."
The former Secretary of
State pointed out what is true
-that the situation at Berlin
had produced no threat to
peace for ten years. He added,
again accurately, that any
threat to peace comes exclus
ively from Khrushchev's sud
den attack on Soviet-guaranteed
Western rights in Berlin.
He concluded that any sacri
fice or dilution of Western
rights in Berlin would amount
to surrender to Soviet threats,
whatever Khrushchev may
have said about "no . time
limit'' for the negotiations.

ing delegates at the Demo
cratic convention in 1960.
The two remarkable, closely
similar, recent speeches by
Sen. John F. Kennedy are
particularly interesting. When
he spoke, Kennedy was dele
gate - hunting in a Rochester,
N.Y. and Indianapolis, Ind.
Yet there was no "me too"
ring in what he had to say
about the peace issue.
Kennedy did not go so far
as Acheson. He welcomed ne
gotiation about Berlin, about
disarmament, about the sus
pension of nuclear , tests. But
he boldly warned his huge
audiences that there was no
easy, way out by "keeping
talking." There was hope, he
said, in effect, if we our
selves created the right cir
cumstances for talks. These
circumstances he defined
rather clearly in Indianapolis.
v"We must build our mili
tary preparedness, to close the
missile gap; to harden and
protect out deterrent; to mo
dernize and strengthen our
conventional forces to resist
brushfire aggression any
where," he said. "We should
not delude ourselves into mis
taking Mr. Khrushchev's will
ingness to talk for (indefinite
and permanent) willingness
to keep the peace."
, "More effort" was the some
what surprising Kennedy cry
in both speeches - and by "ef
fort" he explained, he mean$
not just effort to maintain a
reasonable balance of military
power, he also meant effort
to sustain an adequate rate
of economic growth, and ef
fort to solve the multiplying
social problems of an ex
panding society.
A S JUSTIFICATION for this
call for effort and sacri
fice, Kennedy recalled the
great . speech b y Winston
Churchill in the time of the
Berlin blockade. In that
speech, Churchill pointed to
the still - existing American
atomic monopoly as the sole
defense of the West. He then
pointed to the Berlin block
ade, in order to suggest the
Kremlin's boldness, even
when the U.S. enjoyed an
atomic monopoly. He warned,
finally, that the atomic mo
nopoly would eventually be
broken. As the close Churchill
asked, as Kennedy recalled:
"If . this is what they do in
the green wood, what will
they do in the dry?"
Such reminders of past his
tory are surgically salutary
and they are also unusual to
hear from a candidate. " As
Kennedy admitted, Khru
shchev may mean all that he
says about peaceful co-existence,
if you understand the
phrase as he does. But think
how he has threatened us at
the opening of the missile gap,
what then will he do in 1960,
and 1961, when the gap will
be very wide indeed?

Thanks Veterans
To the Editor: In your com
munications column , of Sep
tember 30, a letter appeared
written concerning the vet
erans in the Camp White Dom
iciliary stating that. the vet
terans there had been doing a
great deal for the communi
ty without getting any credit
for it. '
AS the campaign chairman
for the United Medford Cru-'
sade this year, I wish to thank
the .vriter of . the letter for
expressing this opinion, and
to publicly thank the veterans
for their help.
Each year for many years
the veterans at Camp White
have sorted campaign ma
terial such as window stickers
and lapel pins for the Crusade,
I am sure that they have been
thanked for this task, but no
public announcement has been
made of it.
From year to year the em
ployees at the Camp White
Domiciliary have received
recognition for generous giv
ing when the activities of the
Public Employees Division of
the Crusade Campaign were
reported. Gifts from veterans
at Camp White have been in
cluded in this total.
It is true that every em
ployee group and organization
is not given publicity for com
munity help, especially in
news media. It is understood
that charitable service and
charitable giving are not for
publicity purposes, but rather
for the satisfaction of being
able to help.
I feel that the letter con
cerning the Camp White Vet
erans was well justified. I am
happy to publically thank our
veterans. They are indeed a
part of our community.

To the Editor: This is in
answer to the letter from Mrs.
O. B. Bates, 4010 Jacksonville
Highway, which appeared in
the Mail Tribune Oct. 5, in
which critcism and false state
ments concerning the South
ern Oregon Humane society
were made. The society wel
comes constructive criticism
but objects strenuously to false
statements. After reading the
letter a member of the board
of directors of the society
went to see Mrs. Bates at 4010
Jacksonville Highway to as
certain just what her com
plaint was, but found that
4010 Jacksonville Highway
was non-existent, so this letter
is being addressed to the non
existent Mrs. Bates through.
the Medford Mail Tribune.
We invite Mrs. Bates or any
one else interested to visit our
society at 2902 Table Rock

with our policies and inspect
our facilities. The Southern
Oregon Humane society is a
non-profit organization, sup
ported by public contributions
and memberships and has no
salaried employees.
Apparently Mrs. Bates is
not aware of all the facts as
we believe that the Southern

the "Congressional Record"'
actually becoming a record.
The Record supposedly is a
word-for-word account of the
proceedings ,on the floors . of
the House and Senate. The
Record also has an appendix
in case members of Congress
want ito amplify their viewsl
But members of Congress
can' "revise" their remarks
before they are printed in the
Record. : These revisions are
far more drastic than correct

aVy have been so extensive
that, there . is a1 saying that
Congressmen are the only
people on earth who can sigh,
"I wish I had said that," and
then' say it. v; ''r ' '
Besides changing what was
actually said on the floor,
members of Congress can get
permission to "extend" their
remarks. This amounts to giv
ing the printer of the Record
a long speech which was nev
er spoken on the. floor. But
the folks back home have no
way. of knowing from read

Post-Adjournment Speeches
Adjournment does not cut
off the printed speeches. Be
tween the adjournment of
Sept. ' 15 " and Oct. 5, mem
bers . of Congress can have
their second thoughts printed
in the Record. The Record
dated Sept; 18, for example,
is an appendix of remarks
on everything from what Sen

McKinley Dirksen , (R - HI.)
thought of the 1959 Sessions
of Congress . to whs' Rep.
Cleveland M. Bailey (D-W.Va.)
thought of a West Virginia

The battle of the budget,
however, has narrowed ' this
tolerance for political twist-
instrumental in obtaining the
recent improvements at the
county pound.
Mrs. Bates' statement "and
the animals taken there (to
the Humane Society) are im

matter of fact and record, de
serving animals are held by
us for a much longer period
than at the county pound, as
unbiased investigation will
substantiate.

to the; humane acts of any

You should wear a coat of fur,
So you won't be taken for a

ing of the Record. On 'Aug.

Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas)
obtained unanimous consent
of the Senate to run a table
in the Record every day to
show what Congress did with
President : Eisenhower's; re
quests for. money; for the so
called back-door spending pro
grams like urban renewal and
airport construction. j
Dirksen and Rep. 'Thomas
B. Curtis (R-Mo.),. member of
the GOP economy bloc in the
House, said the table was po
litically motivated and unf air.
Curtis said claims and count
er-claims, about .spending
should be argued on the floor
instead of "destroying the rep
utation oi fairness and im
partiality the Daily Dieest
(printed in back -of the Rec
ord) and Congressional Rec
ord have established over a
period of years." Johnson
countered the figures used
were from the Brueau of the
Budget, which is under the
President
Attempts to Reform
Curtis introduced a resolu
tion to make it harder for
members of Congress to use
the Record as a political or
gan. The Curtis resolution
would require anything. not
stated on the floor to be set
in italic type to distinguish.
it from actual remarks. ;
A proposal sponsored by
Senators Richard L. Neuberg
er (D-Ore.) and Gordon Al
lott (R-Colo.) would forbid
Senators to make "changes of
a substantive-nature", in theu
remarks. Other pending bills
would limit how much ma
terial members of . Congress
could put in. the appendix of
the record and restrict the
printing of irrelevant ma
terial.
With the Democratic lead
ership showing a sensitivity
to xiepublican budget-busting
cnarges, there probably will
be an attempt to continue
running the spending tables.
This will bring up the larger
question which Congress has
ducked ; all these years of
just what should be allowed
to run in the Record. There
fore, the pending proposals
stand a chance of getting con
sideration in 1960.
Senator Neuberger contends
"the very masthead 'Congres
sional Record' ought to as
sure rigid fidelity to truth
and circumstances. Why lse
should the Government spend
approximately $1.7 million a
year to publish , some 43,000
copies of the Record?"
