hriP nf an Pfiitorial writer's saddest chores is
writing what is known as
, This is done when some disunguisnea citizen
nf tViP rnTnirmnitv or state or nation dies, and it
is felt appropriate to comment on this loss, and
to point out the things which the deceased has
done for the community. '
It is a sad chore because of the loss, and be
cause it is realized that the object of the editorial
isn't around to read it, and to know of the affec
tion and respect in which they were held.
.
A FRIEND asked the
olnroirc! woit until
oi n uj a . """" w " " o
has died before writing about him and his good
works Why not, he said, do it while he is still
alive and vigorous and acutely interested in what
goes on about him?
It's a good question, and one. we have often
pondered. V
In some cases it is because the subject of such
an editorial would be horribly embarrassed.
In others it is because workers in good causes
are many, and it is . impossible to single out an
individual for praise, however merited.
And once in a while it is because the person
or persons involved have always sought anonym
ity in their good works, and would be upset if
they became generally known.
CACH OF THESE objections is a valid one.
" But our friend had another idea. Mentioning
one Rogue valley couple, he said,
"Why don't you write something about them
and what they have done and are doing for the
community, but just call them 'Mr. and Mrs.
Anonymous'?"
Why not, indeed? E. A.
Mr. and Mrs. Anonymous
Without Mr. and Mrs. Anonymous there
would be no Rogue Valley Memorial hospital.
Without them, there would be no bright, new
Red Cross building.
Without them, there
new Oregon Shakespearean Festival theater in
Ashland.
Without their quiet
their encouragement, there are a large number
of valley people who would not, or could not,
have completed their educations.
'Their gifts of money
which they thought worthwhile have been more
than substantial, they have been munificent.
BUT MORE important far more important
in the long run and to the tenor and temper
of the community has been their gentle and
human leadership in getting these projects done.
Everyone who has been associated with any
of the projects which they have assisted is famil
iar with their identity, but the f adt that they have
insisted on the pleasant fiction of anonymity is
another clue to their character.
We know for certain that we speak for thou
sands upon thousands of people in this valley
when we say, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Anony
mous, E.A,
To the Counties9 Credit
By and large, the 18 O & G counties of west
ern Oregon have been responsible in their treat
ment of the financial "bonanza" which they en
joy because of their unique status.
(These are the counties Jackson county is
among them in which lie the revested lands of
the old Oregon and California railroad and the
Coos Bay wagon road. By congressional action,
they receive, "in lieu of taxes," 75 per cent of
the revenues from these lands, mostly from tim
ber sales.)
In most of these counties, portions of the in
come have been used to reduce or eliminate covin
ty tax levies.
DUT IN ADDITION, the Association of O & C
counties has also agreed -to devote portions
of the funds for other purposes.
For some years now, one-third of the counties'
share of the O & C funds, or 25 per cent of the
total, has been voluntarily allocated for the con
struction of access roads into the timber areas.
This aids in fire protection, and is to the "en
lightened ' self-interest" of the counties, for it
makes easier future timber harvests, particularly
of over-mature or diseased trees. . ; .
Later, a substantial'portion of these revenues
was allocated by the counties for reforestation
to keep the land green and productive.
A ND.NQW. the. counties have voluntarily
"agreed to a third cooperative expenditure. -This
is for the.proyision of campgrounds and
picnic areas throughout the 18 counties on O & C
properties.
; For. the next fiscal' year, $72,000 was allo
cated with $100,00 the following fiscal year.
Thus the counties continue in their tradition
pf responsible and useful ' application of these
monies, improving the lands for the benefit of
future generations, and acknowledging the "mul
tiple use" principle of public land use.
The recreational potential of these lands is
tremendous, and it is to the counties', credit that
they have recognized this, and are doing some
thing about it. E.A.

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
AFTER TAFT-HARTLEY
The attempts to settle the
steel strike by mediation
have failed and the President
will now have
tp seek an in
junction u n -der
the Taft
Hartley act.
This is the on
ly course open
to him under
existing law,
given the fact
that he fol
lowed the ad
vice of those who told him
early last summer to stand
aside, to do nothing, and to
let the strike run its course
as a demonstration of "free
bargaining.''
This advice came to him, no
doubt indirectly, from the
leaders of the steel industry
who thought, mistakenly as it
turned out ,that they had the
union t a disadvantage, that
they could defeat the strike
and impose a settlement upon
the union. Haying decided
not' to intervene, the Admin
istration did nothing to eluei
date and define the issues. It
did nothing to rally public
opinion in favor of a good set
tlement. Now with winter ap
proaching we are at a dead
end. .
.-.
NOBODY, not the compan
ies or the unions or the
Administration, wishes to see
the Taft-Hartley act invoked.
The act provides that for 80
days the strike shall be sus
pended, and that before 75
days have passed the workers
shall vote on the latest offer
from management. If they re
ject this offer, they can go on
strike again on the 80th day.
This will take us into the first
weeks of January. As things
stand now, in all probability
there will be no setUement by
that time unless meanwhile
there has been built up a
body of public opinion de
manding a "settlement which
will find expression in the
next session of Congress.
At the moment, then, it is
useful to ask ourselves why
the Taft-Hartley act does not
fit the nature of this steel
strike, Senator Taft was an
extremely intelligent and ex
perienced man, and we must
not suppose that he did not
realize the limitations of the
Taft-Hartley act. Thus the act
provides that the Board of In
quiry shaU make a statement
which "shaU not contain any
recommendations.'? A t the
end, then, of the 80-day inter
mission the strike can be re
sumed without any impartial
and responsible judgment as
to how it ought to be settled.
SENATOR Taft recognized
that this was a serious
limitation, and after the act
had been passed he did in
fact attempt tp have it amend
ed to permit the Board of In
quiry to recommend a settle
ment. He was not able to in
duce Congress to amend the
law. But what he really count
ed on, as Mr. Joseph A. Loft
us of the "New York Times"
reminds us, is this. If a strike
goes on and on and there is a
national emergency - as there
is in steel - then Senator Taft
'expected Congress to inter
vene and to pass an emergen
cy act to deal with the parti
cular situation.
. This is what the country
should now prepare for. Dur
ing the coming weeks, while
the strike is suspended by in
junction but is not settled, the
President and the leaders of
Congress should confer on
special legislation to be enact
ed by the Congress. In one
way or another this legisla
tion would compel a satisfac
tory settlement. The threat
of this legislation offers the
best promise of a voluntary
settlement before the Taft
Hartley intermission comes to
an end.
.
I
T IS interesting and one
- Waiter
LiDomann
hopes it is significant of a
Lippmann
change in Administration pol
icy that the Secretary of La
bor, Mr. Mitchell, has in the
past few days proposed that
there should be statutory au
thority to set up fact-finding
boards independent of the
Taft-Hartley act procedure.
This is a marked advance
from the Presidents' position
of last July. But it does not
go far enough. The statutory
boards should ;.ave au
thority not only to find the
facts but to mediate and to
make recommendations on the
basis of what they learned in
mediating, ;
" This is short of compulsory
arbitration. But as a next step
it may be near enough to be
effective. For in the ease of a
stubborn and dangerous
strike, like this one in steel,
an official recommendation
for setUement could pot be re
jected without running the
risk that. Congress would
then take the next step, and
compel arbitration.
In any event, since we have
to invoke the Taft-Hartley act
which we know is inadequate,
the thing to do, it seems to
me, is to reinforce it at once
on the principle that Sena
tor Taft had in mind. This is
to notify the warring parties
that the next move' - if they
refuse to agree will be legis
lation by the President and
the Congress,

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
President Eisenhower, call
ing it a sad day for the nation,
orders government lawyers to
ask a federal court to send
500,000 striking steelworkers
back to the mills for 80 days,
He adds;
"In order to protect the in
terests of ALL the American
people, this leaves me no
(legal) alternative except to
seek an injunction under the
existing law."
NOTE his use of the word
ALL. It tells the whole
story.
As the situation stands, four
or five million people (some
500,000 steelworkers and
some 600,000 owners of steel
stocks, along with their de
pendents) are DIRECTLY con.
cerned by the steel strike,
whereas in the neighborhood
of 170 million people are
hampered and annoyed by it,
AS THIS is written, the gen
eral drift of the news in
dicates that an injunction if
granted by the courts, will
settle nothing - that both sides
will tough it out and the
strike will be resumed at the
end of the 80 days.
It could be.
. But
It MIGHT take both sides
off the hook.:
VI7HAT SHOULD be done?
" Let's go back to the illus
tration of the ruckus in your
neighborhood in which two
or three families are rowing
with each other and disturb
ing the peace and quite of aU
the rest of you.
The rest of you, constitut
ing the MAJORITY, will put
up with it as long as you can,
but sooner or letter, if the
row isn't settled, you'U CALL
THE COPS. '
HERE'S about what will
bappen: v
The 80 days will expire at
about the time the congress
will assemble." The congress,
representing ALL the people,
will be inclined to pass a law
that will stop the ruckus.
Such a law will be apt to
make the American system of
free enterprise MUCH LESS
FREE. That isn't going to be
good for us over the long
pull.

Supports Basic Rule
To the Editor; The follow
ing letter has been sent to
Glen , Wellman, secretary of
the Roseburg Highway Life-
savers:
Dear Sir:
. Regarding your letter in
the Medford Mail Tribune
concerning the acquittal of
Senator Groener of violation
of the basic speed rule, I feel
I must reply.
I am unacquainted with
Senator Groener or the cir
cumstances surrounding his
case, and I feel, as a practic
ing attorne" at your attack
by innu- the judge
who re le decision is
contemt , and your at
tack on tne basic speed rule
unjustified.
One portion of the basic
speed rule statute provides
that no person shall drive a
vehicle upon a highway at a
speed greater than is reason
able and prudent, having due
regard to the traffic, surface
and width of the highway,
the hazard at intersections
and any other conditions ex
isting. The statute clearly ex
presses a combination of cir
cumstances to constitute : a
violation-speed and imprud
ence, Excessive speed alone,
unless also imprudent under
the circumstances then exist
ing, does not constitute a vio
lation, and interpretation con
cisely stated by the . Oregon
Supreme Court many years
ago.
So, too has the court up
held convictions where the
speed, proved was less than
the designated speed for the
locality in which the violation
occurred when that speed
coupled with Other circum
stances, is shown to have been
imprudent or unreasonable.
Every Medford police offi
cer is acquainted with, and
abides by this interpretation
No citations are issued unless
both factors, speed and un
favorable conditions, are
present; and though cases
contested have been lost be-
cause the court has not been
convinced the circumstances
shown to have existed, coup
led with proved speed, con
stituted a violation, i nave
yet to hear serious complaint,
Your disrespectful com
ment toward the court con
cerned, particularly in view
of your representation o .an
organization,' "Roseburg
Highway Lifesavers," leaves
a great deal to be desired.
You don't "find" a judge, Mr,
Wellman. A judge is an offt
cer of the ' court and the
court is bound by the law as
codified by the legislature
and interpreted by the Su
preme Court. ; If speed alone
was the only proven factor in
this case the court rendered
the only decision possible
The citing officer knows this
and so does any other officer
of the law who is acquainted
with his duty.
My personal feelings in the
argument as to set speed vs,
Basic Rule are in agreement
with the editorial,
Alan B. Holmes

No Crater Lake Lift
To the Editor: Can you re
call your first trip to, and
glimpse of, Crater Lake? I
can mine. 'Twas a long day
by horse team and buckboard
from Fort Klamath on a wind
ing dirt road through un
spoiled, awe-inspiring prime
val forest.
But my first glimpse of
Crater Lake was almost over
whelming in its immense
grandeur and beauty. I stood
entranced, motionless for
minutes, silently trying to
comprehend what I was see
ing. It was almost too wonder
ful to be real. Then I moved
slowly to nearer viewpoints.
Others have told me they
were similarly impressed.
I've walked down to the wa
ter's edge and up several times
and viewed the lake from
various angles. But the mag
nitude of Crater Lake, its real
penetrating beauty, is to be
seen from the rim. And there
are about 40 miles of rim
road from which, every-Iittle-ways,
one may get a new soul
filling view. Try it! ("Parks
are God's plantations where
decorum and sanctity reign."
Ralph Waldo Emerson)
The view,, the whole sur
roundings at Crater Lake, as
in Carlsbad Caverns; or at
Bok Tower when the carillons
are played, should bring such
reverence, thoughts of one's
Creator and His wonderous
works, and one's nearness to
Him, that guiet, silence, is de
manded. At Bok Tower, with
a thousand or more people
waiting for, and listening, to
the carillons, a pin could al
most be heard if dropped on
the greensward.

So this
bugle call
to object
watchers, from the ob-
4osph Aitnp jeci - watcn
ing paradise of the world.
A successful hobbyist's day
wiU indicate the rules of the
game. It started well at the
Japenese inn. Being treated
like a piece of valuable but!
fragile porcelain induces just
the right mood for object
watching. And the day's work
had hardly begun at the
Kyoto Museum, before this
day's first high score some
thing like the bird-watcher's
prothonotary warbler.
Among many things that
were marvelous and rare,
there was a small, yet won
derfully vivid Chinese pottery-statuette
of a woman
fondling a pekingese dog. She
(you could not think of her
as "it") had been made for
burial with a Chinese grandee
who must have died about
800 A.D. She wore that smile,
at once inviting and self con
fident, which only conscious,
proven beauties wear; but she
was fat, fat, fat!
WHY then were fat women
thought beautiful at this
particular moment in the in
terminable history of China,
and never before or since?
There are those who say that
this was because of the fa
mous curves of Yang Kuei
fei, the "pearl concubine"
who caused a throne to tot
ter and to fall. But the lady
with the pekingese slighUy
antedated Yang Kuei-fei. Only
one answer remained. In
China, at that time, there was
a strong infusion of Steppe
Turkish blood in the ruling
class. In Turkish eyes, ampli
tude is notoriously admirable
in females.
The riddle solved gave sav
or to the Japenese version of
a quick lunch: Then, coffee
at the Shamrock Coffee
House, deserving to be con
sidered as an object in itself.
The Irish name was a mere
facade for the wildest late
Victorian English interior, a
sombre riot of dark wood
panelling, fringed lamps, and
the curious sort of imitation
plaster that looks as though
it suffered from a pustule-
causing disease. (It used to
be called Lincurusta Walton,
no comparable wonder and
beauty. We should preserve
Crater Lake and other natural
scenic beauty spots. Let us
keep Oregon's waters and wa
terways, and air, unspoiled.
We want no billboard alley
highways, and no mechanical
lift at Crater Lake.

Detention. Home Needs
To the Editor: Jackson
county has a very fine Juve
nile Detention Home which
provides food, shelter and
clothing during a child's stay
there. There is a school room
also, but no teacher.
The average length of time
spent there by each child last
year was one week.
It is discouraging for a child
to return home and to school
and have loads of make-up
work to do. It is especially
difficult for the slow learner.
The necessary pushing by the
parents and teacher are likely
to cause more trouble. Why
not a counselor-teacher? The
expense should be very little
more.
There is a need for a chil
dren's library also. Anyone
whose children are grown,
who has books suitable for
such a library, could do a very
great service by donating
them to the Juvenile Deten
tion Home.
Public opinion can correct
this sad situation. Why not?

Under present rules, Mos

any attack on President Ei
senhower or the head of any
Western state essential: to a
summit meeting, ardently de
sired by Khrushchev.
But it retains many of its
former targets, including Vice
President Richard Nixon. One
Moscow Radio broadcast said
of him:
. "Under the pretex of the
danger of subversive activi
ties by unknown Communist
forces in the Near and Middle
East, Nixon called for the in

tions." Nixon's belief that the West
must remain strong in the

tacked as an undermining in.

AT THE Shamrock, in fact,
there was nothing Japan

two young ladies delicately

like an Oriental Brigitte Bar
dot. The other wore a charm
ing traditional kimono, but
her raven's wing hair had
been dyed a bright, Wester
izing auburn. "Whither Ja

but not answered by the
Shamrock.
As for the rest of this happy
