Fine, We like bands. We're looking forward to hearing the U.S. Marine Corps band tonight. It is a fine organiza tion, and bringing it here is a good way to raise Inoney to send the Medford High school band to the East-West game in San Francisco Other methods of raising funds for this pur pose are fine, too--sb long as they are voluntary Such things a yesterday's Smorgasbord lunch eon provided through the cooperation of a num bef of people and agencies. But ... pECAUSE of the Smorgasbord, the cafeterias u in the high school and junior high schools served no lunches yesterday. School buses were used to transport students to the Smorgasbord. Educational schedules were disrupted by the event. Band members were told they "have to" at tend both the Smorgasbord and the Marine Band concert. So . . . , tlTHAT about the students who. didn't want to go? Who wanted, a9 usual, to buy their lunches at school? What about the use of school buses to carry students to such an event? And what about the disruption Of school time for what is, essentially, a project which benefits a small minority Of the student body? This is the kind of fol-de-rol which has brought criticism' to schools in this country, and we're surprised the Medford school district would be a party to it.-r-E.A. Labor Courts Needed For years, the senior Mail Tribune, who signs his pieces "R.W.EL", Called for the establishment of labof courts, to which labor-management when collective bargaining fails to produce a settlement He has done so in the belief that present means Of settling deadlocked disputes , are un wieldy and unrealistic, and that the overriding interest of the public must be protected. Seldom has this thesis received Stronger sup porting evidence than frOfti the present steel strike, nOvf three months old. I7 ALTER Lippmatnn, in an article which ap peared on this page yesterday, came5 to a Similar if not identical, conclusion He declares the nation needs a "big stick"- the rierht to comnel arbitration if heCesSarv through Some agency which, whatever its form, would be a "court of last resort" ifi the DrOteC- tion of the public's interest in nationwide labor disputes.; Lippmann paints the background aS follows: ". . What was to have1 been a test of 'the method of free bargaining' has gone on since July,' and the method of free bargaining has failed in the task. Why did it? if failed because the issues of the steel strike were ndt ones to which the method of free bargaining applies i?. . ; "Oii the side of labor the ultimate issue is1 its right to share in the larger profits of tM companies. On the side, of management the ultimate issue is to put a stop to the spiral of wage' increases since the Second World War and to recover some of the ground lost to labor since that time. "Here then is & case of industrial warfare between giant business and giant labor. It is a test of power and of will in which the two parties ifi hot bargain ing and will not compromise their differences ... "The claim that a strike of the"se" dimensions and of such consequences is a private affair, not a proper subject of national interest, is entirely untenable ... "The national interest is not only that a settlement should be reached, and production resumed. There is a prime national interest in the terms on which the strike is settled. The day is past wherl this country " can tolerate 'free' bargaining by which labor gets" higher wages and management puts up the prices. The national interest demands that the major indus trial conflicts be settled under 6bnditidns which are ' good for the economy as a whole. That being the case, some agency has to have the authority to speak for the national interest when a conflict arises it" ..--. LIPPMANN goes on to suggest that the agency WC J1 Ul CM kJXvM.

But it sticks in our mind that it would be fiitlch iriOf e in ling with our national traditions of an independent and scrupulous judiciary to set up the agency in the form of a court, where the pros and cons of a deadlocked dispute could be gene into in the calm atmosphere traditional in judicial proceedings, and a ruling issued on the merits of the case, and ifi the light Of the national interests at stake. :; f ABOR unions, as they have developed ifi this "country, are a strong Bulwark of democracy, afidj in many cases, of economic justice. In the last 30 years they have become fiiOfd than that ; they have become giant organizations which can dominate whole areas of the economy, and of the nation's well-being. At the turn of the century giant industrial coinbines were regulated in the public interest j in the new labor law, labor unions are being similarly curtailed. : But when the twd clash, the nation is, in large part, helpless. The time has come when the peo ple of this country should have the machinery to say to both, "Thus far, and no farther." - A' COUfl system for this purpose is needed. E.A.

And while he him self has never said in words of one syllable, in his 6Wh eag er, personal baritone voice, that he is running hard, not even the amiable fictions of politics can hide the fact that he is. There are two wholly ob vious candidates who don't quite admit it yet, but almost do Senators John P. Ken nedy of Massachusetts and Stuart Symington of Mis souri. There is an inevitable "pos sibility" whose people are working openly for him while he himself says he is not in terested. This is Adlai E. Stev enson of Illinois. AMD now in Senator John son there is another and even more subtle instance of the indirect approach. Three weeks ago Johnson was saying he Was not and would hot be a "candidate." Now, he re peats that he is not and won't be a "candidate." But he adds the important remark that if the Democratic convention chose him anyhow he could not and would not ignore its decision.

In the general elections which put hint back in power for five more years, the Brit ish voters demonstrated their approval. dency, or allows himself to eet into a position where it might seem to seek him, is a creature of the indispensable element of timing. So. too, with Johnson. For four reasons he could not in the past have presented him self as an outright aspirant - and indeed even now he ean never go quite that far. In the first place,- he is the Democra tic leader of the Senate and so he simply cannot afford to put his owri ambitions ahead of his central responsibility to serve his party generally. A JOHNSON as an aggres- sive reaching candidate would create such anger and suspicion among Senatorial rivals for the Presidency as to iiave the" Democratic party a Shambles oii the Senate floor. i In the second place the higher Johnson lifts his head the harder it Will be hit by me Dffl6cfatie flatieeai com: mittee group. The committee is supposed to be simply anti Republican and not anti this of that Democfcat. But iri deihdnstrated fact its chair man, Paul Butler, is bitterly hostile to Jdhnsbri and wili use the party iriadhinery against him everywhere. In the third place, Texas is at least historically a part of th Sdhth.- Most of the1 na tional party organization and its followers al e automatically against any Southerner; This is not merely on the under standable fear that no South erner "could win." It also rests in part on a deep, a vis ceral, a gut prejudice a sec tional bias not too different in principle from the religious bias from which Senator Ken nedy suffers because he is a Catholic. IN THE fourth place, John son for years has infuriated the advanced Democratic lib erals by rejecting their advice as td how he should lead the party in the Senate.

U.S. Government Biggest Auto Fleet Owner in World History By FRANK ELEA2ER Washington (DPD-Rep. Wal ter Rogers (D-Tex), who is regularly upset by the growth . of our gov ernment, an nounced re cently that Uncle Sam owned 224,- 956,000 auto mobiles, a car pool of a size which Rogers found "some what" disturb , Frank Eleazer jng Well, it turned out that Rogers had made a slight and understandable error, likely to be ihade by anybody sub jected daily to the official sedatis, station wagons, and limousines that swarm over Washington and especially around Capitol HiU. His mistake was , one of three decimal points. Actu ally th government owns and operates, at last count, something like 224,956 ve hides, Which merely makes Uncie Sam the biggest fleet operator" in history. Most of the cars are Fords, Chevrolets, and Plymouths. The government fleet, which includes trucks but no tactical military vehicles, logs two bil liOtt fiiiles yearly. Naturally the pressure always is on to cut Costs of all this" touring aroUnd. To Order Economy Cars So government buyers next month will go out to order some of the big three's new economy cars. Surprisingly enough, one of the big ques tions is, can they buy and run 'em any cheaper than the standard models? Ford's Falcon, Chevrolet'! Corvair, and Plymouth's Val iant are supposed to sell in the showroom for a couple of hundred dollars less than their big brothers.- But our government doesn't buy its Cars out of the showroom It buys them from the factory, in lots of hundreds and some times thousands. On June 11, the general services administration which does aU the car - buying for non military agencies. picked up its most recent big batch of plain passenger cars As always, it asked tor bids. As usual, it got several. The result was it bought 800 four-door, six-cylmder Fords for S1.475 each, includ ing federal excise tax. No tirddg-ins were involved. Only freight charges were extra Cars Partially Equipped These cars must have been stripped, you probably fig ure. Maybe the wheels weren't included. Wrong. Except for radio, they . came . equipped like people buy 'em in show rooms, including fresh air heater - defroster, automatic transmission, undercoat, wind shield washer, outside mirror, and even a cigar lighter. Overall, the government buys 35,000 to 40,000 new cars and trucks yearly. When they're w"6ffl blit, they are sold at auction. Except ior special purpose cars, like thbse Used for police worK, the law says we cant pay mdf e than $1,500 each for sedans and $1,950 for station wagons. -or at any rate been followed by thrCe successive De"fno- eratie Congressional election vintories has heightened ra ther" than eased this liberal animosity"; All the same, he has recog nized that if he should much longer maintain a totally neg ative position toward the nom ination, he could have no chance at all. Every potential Johnson delegate to the con vention would eventually have been driven elsewhere. Thus, with infinite care not any more than was absolutely to stir up the anti-Johnsonites necessary, he has now Bioved this small but cleaf step for ward toward entering the contest. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) , Court To Hear Union Case; Implications Important Three members of the pres ent court, however, seem not wholly disposed to follow that trend when the complain ing minority of individuals cite alleged suppression of their rights by A majority of their" fellow union members. The noW-pendihg case arose in Ge6r"gia A few employees of the Southern Railway sued to forbid their union to use dues to make expenditures for political objectives which the complaining employees op posed. The complaining em ployees are compelled by fed eral statute to belong to the union t6 hold their jobs. It is a union shop situation. They are unable, therefore, to withdraw their financial If the seller can't meet this price, there s no sale. Mayoe that's one reason we get such a bargain in government cars. There are other reasons, in cluding the fact we buy in big lots, and usually, at times when assembly lines aren't running full. . That's Why it is still not certain how widely the new compact cars will replace standard models in the gov ernment fleet. Nobody knows yet What kind of price manu facturers will offer on the small cars. Maybe they won't be able to shave bids on these cars as deep, proportionately, as on the regular models.

We're so busy "digging gold" that we don't even knoW the neighbor next door. When someone does drop in for a visit, we are so engrossed with the TV set that we have lost the courtesy to turn it off.

Are we our brother's keeper? Are we so interested in getting to the moon that we forget our pre cious heritage here on earth?

Contf ibuting to delinquency of minors is serious offense, fine that has landed ifiiny an offender in court for a tongue-lashing Shd Warning to loss of liberty and public shame beHind prison bars. But why are much greater offenders ' al lowed to do this, all for a price under governhient per ffiit? The federal tax tobacco companies pay allows them to manufacture the Sniff into Cigarettes. Does it allow them to put thousands, or shall we say millions, of dollars of support of the union resign their' membership without also resigning their employ ment. That is what makes this case an especially hot one. The narrow area of individual rights in which the issue is raised contributes also to the political importance of this case. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments and to decide it. It would be dif ficult for the court to render an opinion without establish ing as the law of the land either: That a union Tnembef cannot be compelled to con tribute toward political ex penditures for objectives which he opposes, or; of the new lighter cars. With regular cars, it has set a high economy standard. Car costs in pools, including deprecia tion, have been cut td 7.3 cents per mile. ' However, specifications are now being drafted to cover the compacts. Early next month, the general services administration will advertise for bids on maybe 10,000 carsf including a substantial but still undisclosed number of compacts, for delivery ill February, March and April Meantime, our top car buy1 ers still tend to travel in taxis. Despite all they've dohg to keep down the cost of driv ing government cars, they told a House committee they took cabs to Capitol Hill; It's cheaper that way, they ex plained. their profits into increasing alluring advertising of the cigarette via the printed page, by radio voice and same With pictured TV? As one sharp- witted young teenager replied to my questioning of the hew and greatly strengthened 1959 law which proposes to bar" smoking of cigarettes by eta young people under ig years of age: "Why get the laW after us? We are just the end result of all this plead ing of cigarette makers to try one of their cigarettes, bo Cdmforting, so smoothe, so satisfying with magazine pie lures and TV too, to empha size it?" His reply brought to mind something of like ' nature ruminating there, but tod ab stract to get into definite form. The two youths were loitering by me while wait ing for the missus. Their mis chievous grinned remark df Christmas coming soon had reference to my lengthening white beard, but it did give me opportunity to get a teert ager reaction to the new cig arette law that our enforce ment agencies have aii- nouhced plans" to put it into effect, ihost Commendable in deed, asking as they do for public cooperation. But, as the teenager brought out, what chance is there for success of the new law when the cig arette makers handicap it with their subtle and alluring advertising? One most encouraging fea ture is a TV station located in a rural area that refuses ail tobacco and liquoi ad- vertising, even in its national network. This is surely one heartening . way out of the sdrfy ftlCsS. For sorry it is and safe to say that 90 per, cent or more of cigarette smokers are sorry they ever started the habit that is nearly as" hard to break as the riefar ious, soul destroying one bt narcotics.

Twelve rules for raising delinquent children: 1. Be'giri with infancy to give the Child everything he Wants; in this way he will grew up to think the world gwe him a living. " 2. When he picks" up bad words, laugh at him, Tkis will make him think he's cute It Will also -encourage him to pick up-"cuter" phrases that Will blow 6ff the top of your head later.- . 3. Never give him any spiritual training.; Wait until h is 21 and then let him decide for himself. 4; Avoid the us of the word "Wrong"! It may de velop a guilt complex. This Will condition him to believe later, when" he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he Is being persecuted. . 5. Pick up everything fie leaves lying around - books, shoes and cl6thing. Do everjir thing for him so he will be experienced at throwing all responsibility onto others. 6. Let hint read any print ed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silver and drinking glasses are sterl- ized, but let his mind feast on garbage. 7. Quarrel, frequently in the presence of your Chil dren. Iri thiS way they will hot be tod Shocked when the home is broken up later. 8. Give a child all the Spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as rough as yoU had them? 9, Satisfy his every crav ing for food, drink and com fort. See that every sensual deSif e is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration. 10. Take his. part against neighbors, teachers and po licemen. They are all preju- diced against your child. 11. When he gets into real trouble, apologize for y6ur Self by Saying "I never could dr anything with hirn." , 12. Prepare for a life of grief YoU will be apt to have it. Those thought are not original With Me, as noted abovef but I would like to add another rule Which Will help make a delinquent out 6f y6uf Child. 13.
