Board Off Base
Circuit Judge Edward C. Kelly made some
telling points in the letter he wrote to the state
board of control in reply to a query from the
board about the court's "policy" in the handling
of juvenile offenders. -
The board's letter, written by its secretary,
Col.. William Ryan, was way off base.
It went to Judge Kelly when Judge James
Main was the judge in the ease under discussion.
It violated the "separation of powers" doc
trine of-both the federal and state constitutions,,
inasmuch as it put the executive department, in
the position of attempting to influence the judi
ciary. " " .
. '
IT CRITICIZED the court for sending an "incor-
rigible" boy who had committed felonies to
MacLaren school for boys, rather than the new
State Correctional Institution rdespite the fact
that ORS 420.140 plainly says:
"Commitments to MacLaren School for Boys shall
be limited to youths between the ages of 12 and 18
years who, after a full hearing before, the court, are
found to be beyond the control of their parents or
guardians and incorrigible, or who may be found --
guilty of an offense punishable by imprisonment."
It displayed ignorance of (or disregard for)
the law by implying that judges should institute
prosecutions, when, of course, this is the job of
the district attorney.
It violated both the, spirit and the letter of
criminal statutes by seeking "some assurance"
that the boy in question' would be brought to
trial "for possible, sentence"- to the correctional
institution. ". - .
Judge Kelly pointed out:
"It is the responsibility of the court to see that a
person accused of crime receives a fair and impar
tial trial. This obviously cannot be done if the court
is required to give 'assurance' that a person will be
brought to trial for possible sentence."
Colonel Ryan's letter, in short, was offensive,
disrespectful, and based on misconceptions of
the law and the separation of powers.
The board of control, which includes the
governor, secretary of
owes Judge Kelly an apology.
, It had also better look to the administration
of MacLaren school for boys, if that institution
cannot perform the job it is charged by law with
doing. E. A.

TTHIS is impressive evidence in support of the
hypothesis, now almost universally accepted
by trained social workers and juvenile authori
ties, that environmental factors, principally in
the home, are the most important in determin
ing how a child will turn out.
This is not to say that "there is no such thing
as a bad boy." For there are bad boys, of course.
But, other things being equal, if a boy has

Quotes Contrasted
To the Editor: Undoubted
ly you saw the dispatches in
the press of Oct. 11 which
quoted Mr. John H. Hayes of
Florence as comparing our re
cent Senate hearings to "the
Spanish Inquisition" and
charging they were conducted
in "exceedingly poor taste,
etc.
; I have contacted Fred R.
Moody, veteran court report
er, who has taken down these
and other hearings for the
Senate Interior Committee.
Mr. Moody has telegraphed
me that, prior to his testi
mony, Mr. Hayes said:
"First let me state my
thanks and appreciation for
allowing us this uninterrupt
ed time to present our case."
After his testimony and
that of his associates from
Florence, Mr. Hayes said:
"That concludes our brief
and again I want to thank
Senator Neuberger and the
committee for allowing us to
present it in continuity."
Most significant of all, Mr.
Moody's stenotype notes dis
close that Mr. Hayes rose from
the audience at Eugene as the
hearings ended and said to
me:
"I wish to thank you and
the committee for the very
fair : manner in which you
treated the Western Lane Tax
payers "Association and your
willingness to allow us tne
full hour to make our presen
tation." -
Mr Moody's records show
that I aUowed the opponents
of my bin a total of five hours
and 29 minutes, and the sup
porters of the bill three hours
and 52 minutes for their open
ing statements and presenta
tions. It is of further, significance
that Mr. Hayes made nis De

similar charges against xne
hearings by Secretary of State

Where Did It Go?
To the Editor: At the final
end of the gold producing and
mining era in and around the
town of Gold tliu, wmcn
came to an almost complete
close around 50 years ago,
the average monthly payroll
amounted to one half to one
million dollars then, although
there never was very much
evidence to show for tnat
amount looking at it from a
commercial basis.
Where all that hard wealth
really went is to btf wondered
at 50 years later, borne oi tne
cash was spent looking for
more, a portion went to near
by towns in southern Ore
gon, some went way Dae,
east,' perhaps like all past
mining towns only a very
small per cent of the gold
output was ever invested in
local enterprise. Most drifted
away to the bigger commer
cial centers throughout the
west. No wonder gold has al
ways been considered the
most illusive and most sought
after commodity since the
second chapter Genesis, verse
11 .and 12.

so often the only side that is
spread before them.
But, we were so saddened
to find that in this case, as
in many others, the "price"-is
too high for the low "wage
earner to pay. I know that the
concert funds will go for a
wonderful thing, but, does
money have to be the only
aim? Couldn't it be something
higher and greater? Is it only
the rich who may afford to
give their children precious
memories, as well as a well
rounded and balanced child
hood? The evil things of this
world are so easy to obtain,
maybe that is why our youth
are so quick to grasp it."
I realize there must be a
"price" on all things, but
couldn't it be such that ALL
may have the opportunity to
enjoy a few of life's blessings?

Traveled Street Daily
This is the . street which
Kessem travelled daily in his
lightly guarded station wagon
and which was chosen for the
assassination attempt.
Out of it, as a personal me
mento, Kassem collected
fractured shoulder and hand,
plus a flesh wound.
Baghdad jails also collected
a few hundred suspects.
But the poor timing of the
attempt was shown by the
fact that It was. accompanied
neither by a palace nor a gen
eral uprising.
i United Press International
correspondent David Dugas
reported from Baghdad that
four days after the assassina
tion attempt normalcy was re
turning to the streets where
crowds "mocked" Cairo re
ports 'of massacres in the
Iraqi capital.
But if the attempt against
Kassem were that of one man,
it indicates that there is in
dividual as well as collective
opposition to Kassem and that
the last try is only th begin
ning. Radios Turn Silent
Meanwhile, Damascus and
Cairo radios, which had been
calling almost openly for Kas
sem's violent overthrow, fell
strangely silent in their " ti
rades against Kassem person
ally. ;
F o ri whatever Kassem's
sins, he had not yet fallen
openly to Communist domina
tion. And if Kassem were to
disappear, it seemed almost
certain that the Communists,
best organized of any political
group in Iraq, would move in.
"Both the Western and the
Communist nations sent mes
sages of sympathy to Kassem,
a move not duplicated by the
United Arab Republic as rep
resented by Cairo and Damas
cus. But for both the TJ.A.R.'l
and the West it was a time
for finger-crossing.
Whatever they thought of
Kassem, his disappearance
now would be no benefit. As
for the Communists, they
were doing all right anyway.
So why create a martyr now?
just what the phrase means
The pause being over, it
means this:
Three Factors
"The rate of growth of the
real national product is com
pounded of three factors: (1)
The rate of growth of the
labor force; (2) The rate of
increase or decrease of hours
worked; (3) The rate of
growth of real product per
man hour."
This . definition is that of
Dr. Colin Clark of England's
Oxford University faculty,
who also is director of re
search of the Econometric In
stitute, Inc., N.Y. The Econo
metric Institute is a business
forecasting service.
Clark recently was a wit
ness before a Senate subcom
mittee ' investigating prices,
profits and inflation. He un
dertook to scotch the idea
that the Soviet Union was
overtaking the United States.
The real rate of growth of
Russia production per man
hour' varies, Clark said, from
1.1 to 1.6 per tent, depend
ing whether the computation
is based on 1913 or 1939.
This compares with 2.3 cent
for the United States. On the
money necessary to keep a
tight roof over the animals'
heads. So there is nothing for
the zoo folks to do but keep
requesting these incidentals
from Congress, which keeps
saying no or not yet.
Director Chides President
I asked J. Lear Grimmer,
the zoo's associate director,
how this has worked out, and
here s what he said:
"We have the finest collec
tion of animals in the world,
I think. But they are housed
in the world s worst slums.
At tne White House cere
monies Grimmer couldn't
bring himself to put it that
bluntly to Ike. About all he
could do was chide the Presi
dent politely for not having
showed his face at the zoo for
the past 15 years.
. Grimmer is no dummy,
though. He figured that once
the President sees for himself
the sorry state of our national
zoo, he will get behind the
drive for more money. Cur
rently, the zoo has a budget of
around a million .dollars
year. '.'.-'-,. '-.'' :
"That's just enough to keep
it going," said Grimmer.
It's not enough to replace
leaky roofs, rotting timbers,
and falilng plaster that have
harassed zoo officials for
years. Grimmer says reptile
and small mammal houses are
in the worst shape of all the
zoo's many buildings.
Boasts Rare Animals
Our zoo boasts the rarest of
animals. They range from the
aardvark. an indescribable
anteater useful mainly to
word-puzzlers, to the zebu, a
big Indian cow.- It claims the
biggest crocodile in the United
States, and the only linsang in
captivity anywhere. The lin
sang is a long kind of cat, re
sembling a fat snake with feet.
'In the small animal house
lives a fossa, which looks like
a combination cat and dog and
which Grimmer says may be
an ancestor of both. The zoo's
snow leopard was raised in
Grimmer's home, where rein
deer, . chimpanzees, hyenas,
and pretty near any other ani
mals you can name have been
nursed through babyhood.
There's no place at the zoo to
take care of babies,,he says. .
The zoo and its park-, cover
176 acres in the heart of Wash
ington. Four million Ameri
cans visit it yearly. Its collec
tion totals 3,000 "important
animals and no . telling . how
many not so important. .
The number does not in
clude the termites that infest
one 154-year-old zoo building,
and that currently are swarm
ing over its. sagging floors and
creaking stairway. This struc
ture was condemned years
ago. Fortunately, this . is the
headquarters building, and
none of our valuable animals
are in it. Just a lot of people,
like Grimmer. i

don, says,"Macmillan's party,
Britain's nearest approach to
the free enterprise philoso
phy, rode a wave of popular
ity to victory. The wave of
buying that followed an
nouncement of the Conserva
tive party's landslide victory
sent the London stock market
up 16.8 points to an average
of 285.4 for the biggest daily
increase EVER RECORDED
in the history v of the ex
change." .
THE ISSUES of the British
election were chiefly do
me s t i c, including pensions,
cost of living, farm prices, un
employment and housing.
The domestic issues included
also the DEGREE of govern
ment ownership of industry.
In general, a Labor party c
victory would have meant
MORE public ownership, in
cluding the steel industry, and
it will be accepted t8at the
Conservative win will mean
less of it.
In principle, the Laborites
were committed to the exiA-
ing foreign policies of the
Western powers although
they endorsed Inclusion ofQ'
Red China in the U.N. and the
banning of British H-bombs.
But on our side of the big
water, we can't help feeling o
encouraged because rremiwr
Macmillan will remain on ie
Western team in the impor
tant summit negotiations that
are coming up.
The job of handling Mr. H,
which will be a tough one at
best, would have been tough
er still if the British peoplt
had repudiated Mr. MacMU-
lan, who has been an effec
tive member of our team.
