In theory, the FAA has far more authority than did its predecessor, the Civil Aeronautics Administration. In practice, it is up against many of the handicaps faced by the CAA. - j - ." . ; Among these to quote that earlier editorial are "lack of money to purchase the highly com plex and expensive equipment . . . and a certain amount of foot-dragging on the part of the CAA executives those in the middle.echelons who are high enough to have a decisive say in policy ex ecution, but low enough to escape ultimate. re sponsibility for the CAA's actions." I T ADDED: "If these reports are correct, the middle echelons -.- resisted the initial use of radar for 'ground controlled approach' instrumentation, for example, as well as other means of increasing man's ability to detect and -guide aircraft under all conditions." . General E. R. Quesada, administrator of the FAA, has moved vigorously to bring his agency to a point where it can meet the needs of military jet aircraft, the new jet airliners, the many other large airplanes, and the thousands upon thous ands of smaller aircraft. But it appears that he may be hampered in doing so by some of those "middle echelons." "THAT earlier editorial, incidentally, was rather widely read in FAA (then CAA) offices throughout the west coast It resulted in our re ceiving an example of about, m the form of a Angeles regional office signature of a man named L. Ponton de Arce. It was distributed to all FAA offices m the region. It says: "Although the Notices of Proposed Rule Making C issued by other Regions or by the Washington Office state that comments should be forwarded direct to the originating office, air traffic control facilities of this Region should submit their comments to the Planning Branch, LA-510 in order that a consolidated Regional recommendation may be submitted to the appropriate office."; ; : .. ; ; J This "can be roughly translated to read: "Don't follow instructions from other offices, in cluding Quesada in Washington; send your pro posals to us so we can censor them first." If that's the sort of thing Quesada is up against, the Lord help him. E.A. Protegees Patron 'k-i-'- : .. V" ' ..; , . r ? If Errol Flynn bestowed nothing 'else upon us, he . did add a new and peculiar meaning to the word "protegee." 1 : ; Incidental note to the wire services: Web- st'er savs thp feminine form is nrotesree. Proteee is the masculine form using incorrectly.; - The word is defined who is under the care or r 11 is an ouu wum iu ue uscu tu ucociiu5 duuic- one who usually is talked of in much blunter terms. But the wire services (and newspapers, too,- of course, including this one) continue to use the euphemism. t C RROL Flynn's situation at his death was, to " an ordinary mortal,-not an enviable one. But, at worst, he had lived the kind of swash buckling, completely amoral, hedonistic life he wanted to live. ... . , . He was a non-conformist to which no one should object. But he also, all hir life, violated the moral standards of his society. And he man aged to get away with it. : He lived high, and was promiscuous, a heavy drinking adventurer, and, in many ways, the very antithesis of the sober, responsible and moral citizen we all theoretically should admire. . DUT he had charm. Never a real actor, he none- theless managed to convey on the screen the screen the gay, irresponsible; devil-may-care at titudes of his personal life. And a generation of movie-goers ate it up, came back for more, and forgave him his sins. . .. -. , .- The Oregonian raised a minor ruckus among some of its readers the other day when it sug gested editorially that Flynn and his like "have performed a useful function in this workaday world." It added: ' 7 ' ' " "They bring a glimpse, mirage though it may be, of the life we sometimes think we'd like to trade, if we , could, for our own. But when we see itiwe know we don't want it . . He reminds us, in a way, of "of the lilies of the field. They neither toil nor spin. They accomplish nothing essential to the survival of mankind. But it would be a drab world without them." As a result, letter-writers chastised the Ore gonian for what they felt was its condoning of immorality, and holding up a bad example for the youth of the nation to admire. ; . r: , 'THE letter-writers have a point How can one explain to an adolescent that the much-married screen idol, in and out of trouble all his life, with a long history of sordid affairs, and a 17-year-old; er 'protegee" at his side when he died, is really undeserving of the adulation he received? How can one explain that his gay unrepent ance and love, of life are reprehensible, when he violated society's standards with impunity? Obviously we should all tsk-tsk and tut-tut But then, our society also has another set of standards, including the admonitions, "Judge not that ye be not judged," and "Let him who is with out sin cast the first stone."

Football "Machine" To the Editor: The follow ing letter is being sent to the Medford superintendent . of schools, with copies to you, the Oregonian, the Eureka newspapers, and the Eureka superintendent of schools: Dear Sir: I live in Eureka, Calif., and I attended the Medford High school football game vs. Eureka, Calif., High school, held in Medford, Ore., on Oct. 23, 1959. You have the finest coached team I have seen. That's my opinion only but I believe it's a fine coached team it's gone beyond being a game, it's a machine of destruction. . At tached hereto is an article in dicating the destruction but still is the finest coached team I have seen. But, Mr. Superintendent, in my opinion, the following should be recorded: I was in an automobile with one gentleman and three ladies with a California li cense tag on it and at 7:15 pjn. on Oct. 23 within a block, of your stadium and we were in a line of automobiles, and a group of boys and girls ages 10 to 14 years, were crossing a street and one boy about 12 years old let go with a blast "Hey, mister you from California? ... on you. and let go with an obscene four-letter word. The Planning Committee stuck Eureka High school rooters or boosters on the 10 to 15 yard line down low to the end of your stadium and we got kicked out of there and eventually bought seats on the 50 yard line, first row. We might as well have lis tened by radio. It reminded me of inviting someone to your home for dinner and when dinner has been prepar ed and ready for serving, you serve your guests in the ga rage while you remain in the dining room. An automobile parked next to the stadium with a Califor nia license plate had the air let out of aU four tires and one tire slashed beyond re pair, r ( In my opinion, you gentle men snouia ao someining about making human beings out of those people in addition to being a footbaU machine.

Box 770 i Eureka, Calif. ; Editor's note: The clipping mentioned by our Eureka cor respondent, presumably from the Humboldt Times-Standard of Eureka, foUows: " : "Medford's Tornadoes left some serious injuries in its wake as sophomore Quarter back Danny Ball and half back Gene Albonico were pro nounced out for the season following the game. Ball suf fered . broken collarbone and Albonico broke his wrist. "Center Dick Holt was on the questionable list today with a shoulder separation. There is a possibility he may also be lost for the remainder of the season. It is almost a certainty that he will miss the next game. "Mike : Thompson, a swift halfback, and guard Dennis Dinsmore returned from Med ford with broken noses but will be . able to continue playing; "Keith Darling, assistant Logger coach said, Tve never seen a team like that. I can see why they are ranked the number one team in Oregon. It was . like taking Eureka High school and letting them play the Humboldt State Col lege varsity. The . line . was sharp and all four backs were exceptionally fast'." - STRri ifs a thing Conflict of Interest? To the Editor: The editorial of a couple weeks ago stated that private' enterprise could and was solving the parking situation in down town Med ford and that tax money was not required to make it a success. A leading citizen, Mr. Fred Robinson, of Medford, was a strong advocate of a "Plan" for the citizens of Medford to finance "Off Street Park ing" to be operated by the city of Medford. The "Plan" was twice turned down by the people. Mr. Robinson then sought and worked for a Mer cants' Cooperative Parking Plan through our Chamber of Commerce; he succeeded to the extent that a "Parking Corporation" was formed and options on certain locations were secured. It seems that from then on it bogged down because of disagreement. Mr. Robinson then, himself, bought up the master leases previously secured and went into a personal parking enter prise with a "working agree ment" with local merchants and the Chamber of Com merce. There should be no reason why the present "Park and Shop" plan won't work if con tinued support of merchants is maintained. We can see a need for Mr. Robinson get ting out of the parking busi ness as he is qualified better for other types of business, but here our agreement with him' ends. He advocates and wants the city of Medford and its tax payers to bail him out and relieve him of his parking business. We suggest that he now sell his parking business to the "corporation" formed for that purpose and not look to the idea of selling to the people "by force" through the "city govern ment and the "enabling leg islation" referred to by Mr. Robinson in his statement to the League of Oregon Cities at its last convention. We feel also that if Mr. Robinson intends even to try to seU his parking business to the city of Medford and its citizens he should first resign as a city councilman (note, Chapter IV, section 18 of our city charter). It is malfeasance of office to be interested directly, or indirect ly in any "de-I" with the city when involving his parking business. M. J.

That's why he want ed 100 extra revenue agents this year. It seems we volunteer Frank Eleazar Desi wnen somebody is watching. Congress thought this was reasonable, and told him to go hire the agents. So I got to wondering how . this has worked out. - WeU, there was the case of the baldheaded salesman. His tax offering seemed shy to the agents. They wondered espe cially about a big deduction for cost and upkeep of a hair piece. Just a necessary and nor mal cost of his business, the salesman explained. What he sold was vitamins, to help hang onto youth. Latham's agents regretfully knocked the claim in the head. About 60 million of us vol unteered something, on or be fore last April 15, as the vol untary tax law requires. But the expanded staff of revenue agents every day now turns up fresh indications we were n't always enthusiastic en ough in our f i 1 i n g s .

WILSON Washington -flJPD- Harry Renton Bridges, whose record of Communist front perform ances is as long as your arm, is in. the news again with a chal lenge to U.S. law. Bridges i s the fellow traveler boss of the West Lyle C. Witooe " B fc "S" shoremen.- He has just "re spectfuUy ; declined to com ply" with a federal ' request for a list of Communists and ex-convicts in his union. The request was made under au thority of Section 504 of the new Labor Reform law. The federal government al ready is a two-time loser to Bridges in matters of law. In June, 1953, the Supreme Court relieved of a prison sen tence and restored his citizen ship. This decision was based largely - on technicalities. A lower court had convicted Bridges of perjury and fraud in obtaining citizenship by na turalization. The offense charged was that he had con cealed membership in the Communist party. Perjury Charge Rescinded The Supreme Court in 1953. held that the statute of limita tions had outlawed the per jury charge of which Bridges had been found guilty. The Communist party, thereby, triumphed in a contest which began midway in Franklin D. Roosevelt's second term. On March 2, 1938, the La bor department ordered Bridges' arrest and deporta 1 -AT tion to Australia on charges that he was an alien Commun ist. The Communist party sup ported Bridges in legal ma neuvers until that order was carried to the Supreme Court and cancelled. Bridges then obtained naturalization. Attorney General, Francis Biddle officially tagged Bridg es a Communist on May ' 2, 1942, in support of the 1938 deportation order which then was bogged, in long hearings. In 1948, the CIO removed Bridges as regional director ; Take the question of casual ty loss. That's what you suf fer when a tree falls on the roof or a hurricane smashes the windows. These are acts of God and you can claim de ductions for 'em when you fig ure your taxes. - Recently, ft develops, a few bereaved ladies have been claiming' deductions for the loss of their husbands. Lath am's helpers are sympathetic of course. But the fact a man has been killed on the high way doesn't, make him a cas ualty loss in the eyes of the tax man. But v keep trying, ladies. Times change. " Consider the matter of ter mites. Home owners for years have been claiming ter mite damage as a casualty loss. Internal Revenue agents just as regularly have been bouncing the claims back, dis allowed. Now comes the U.S. Tax court with a ruling which blows the tax man at least half out of the water. In the case of a Winter Park, Fla., fellow it said recently that un der some circumstances ter mite damage can, too, qualify as a casualty loss. . Tax Trouble in Wood These, circumstances may not be too clear in every case, I'm afraid. The question of "suddenness" seems to be crucial. And when the ter mite claims start winging in next April 15 Latham's extra Fourth Oct. 26, 1955, interim premier Ngb Dinh Diem proclaimed the republic and became its first president. . ' Up to the end of 1958, the United States had -poured nearly one billion dollars into the republic of Viet Nam. It is primarily' responsible for training its army, and through the Southeast' Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), is re sponsible for its defense.' Strategic Key to Asia - It is a neighbor of Commu nist - threatened Laos and, along with Laos and Cam bodia, is the strategic key to Southeast . Asia. Under Com munist . domination,., it. could threaten Burma, Thailand, Singapore, Malaya and all the nations, beyond, including the Philippines and Indonesia. The republic of Viet Nam, for Northern California be cause he insisted on support ing Henry A. Wallace's Communist-sparked presidential campaign. ' Over the years the House Committee on Un-American Activities and Biddle cited Bridges as a Communist, as advocate of class warfare and of the overthrow of the U.S. government by force.' The committee named the Com munist party as director and Bridges as sponsor of the 1934 San Francisco general strike. Revolutionized Workers : After f that .- strike, - Jack StacheL Communist trade un ion specialist, wrote: "What will happen if the workers elect not only one Bridges, but hundreds of Bridges in section and district - leader ship? There will be big strug gles. The workers will be come revolutionized." The committee reported that from the moment of the 1938 deportation order, the Com munist party sponsored Bridges' defense, assessing members and otherwise rais ing funds and making, propa ganda. Bridges reached for strate gic Hawaii. When FBI agents in August, 1951, arrested sev en persons described as Ha waii's top Communists, one of them was Jack Wayne HalL a regional director of Bridges' longshoremen's union. When Nikita S. Khrushchev visited the United States, the lone labor leader he sought out with whom to exchange kind and comradely greetings was this same Bridges in his San Francisco headquarters. The foregoing are some of the notable aspects of the car eer of technical citizen Bridges.-.: How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly in Place Do your false teeth annoy and em barrass by slipping, dropping or wob bling when sou eat, laugh or talk?

A lady taxpayer, unfortu nately not otherwise describ ed in reports to the revenue boss, thought her three great danes might qualify as depen dents. She said they were ne cessary to her health and safe ty. She explained ? they kept away, wolves. A male volunteer sought to deduct from his income for his several purchases of bour bon. He termed these outlays civic contributions. He said local - authorities during a drouth had asked residents to go easy on water.. In addition to our other failings, Latham suspects that many of us volunteers were forgetful this year about some of our income. He has reason to think we overlooked may be $3 billion in interest, for instance, and another $1 bil lion in dividend checks. - He is pushing now a subtle scheme to help us, remember by easing the pain. He sug gests we work out bur with holding from wages so that, at the end of the year he owes us money instead of vice versa. To do this, just have your boss figure one less dependent for you than you actually have. V But when claiming your re fund, don't send off any car bons. ' . rsary long on history but with only a brief background of inde pendence, emerged from the Geneva conference of 1954 which ended a nine-year fight by the French, against Com munist forces led by Ho Chi Minn, a revolutionary who once lived .in Paris and re ceived his-; basic training in Moscow. . .. - The 1954 conference carved Viet Nam into two zones at the 17th paralleL The north ern half went to Communist control and the southern half, with a population ol some 10 million,, to forces friendly to the West. : , By . the war's end, it had cost $5 billion, including $2 billion in U.S. aid and more than 253,000 casualties. One year after Geneva, Ngo proclaimed the southern zone's independence. Worst Now Over The worst is over now, but few Vietnamese care to ven ture out at night because of the terror which still stalks the little nation. Communist Viet Minh gue rillas still roam parts of the countryside. jjienara remnants of war like religious sects still re fuse to recognize the new gov ernment. Bandits are plenti ful. The republic of Viet Nam's problems closely paralleled those of Korea, also divided between Communists and non Communists. The Communists in the north control mines, raw ma terials and industries, but are short on arable land. The anti - Communists control a rich agricultural area but have little in the way of re sources and power. From the beginning the south faced an enormous prob lem of reconstruction and re settlement of one million ref ugees from the north. In the slowly emerging or der from chaos, President Ngo has run into frequent criti cism. He has kept the country in a virtual constant state of emergency and has kept a stern grip on the press and public opinion. Unfortunately also, his rela tions with his neighbors have not always been the best. Like President Syngman Rhee of the Republic of Korea, his ac tions frequently are high handed. But as a staunch friend of the West, he is a valuable ally. BEAUTIFUL Mountain View CHAPEL Nestled near the pines, overlooking the eternal hills. Quiet, peaceful C M.

In the Day's Hews By FRANK JENKINS In the news as this is writ ten: A giant rally in Havana to whip up anti-American feel ing to fever pitch. WHAT'S COOKING? - One wouldn't know - but here's a fair guess: '- Castro's economic program ISN'T producing two chickens in every Cuban pot, and the Cubans are getting unhappy about it. So he's looking for a counter-irritant.' More or less all over the world, a sure-fire counter - irniani ior raDDie rousers who are gettiing into trouble is to stir up ill will to ward America and Americans. WHAT'S a counter-irritant? '.' Webster defines it thus: "An irritant to produce a blister, a pustular eruption, or the like, to relieve an existing irritation elsewhere." That is to say: If you have a toothache, produce an ache SOME WHERE ELSE to take your mind off the toothache. . ' i . . . . CASTRO possibly figures that , if he can get Cubans mad enough at Americans they'll forget their growing ir ritations over Castro's failure to provide, two chickens in every Cuban pot. - ,- .-. That's an ancient dodge -and it has WORKED" surpris ingly often, c -., - . THAT BRINGS up Mr. K. ...again. He's alleged to be prom ising . the Russians that if they'll just sit tight and give him time he'll provide more of the good things of life for them such as more clothes, more food, more gadgets. He's hinting strongly that the wicked American capitalists are the, fly in the ointment. They're afraid, he claims, that world peace would wrei?k their war boom profits. TTMMMMMM. "Do you reckon Mr. K could be getting SCARED of the Russian people and feels that he too must promise them more chickens in every pOt ; - If so, it would be important. TTERE'S some GOOD newsl -I A Two Americans (both Westerners, Jay the way) win the 1959 Nobel PHYSICS prize. That helps to ward off inferiority complexes based on the growing notion that Russians are putdoing us in the fields of science. The prize winners are Dr. Emilio Segre and' Dr. Owen Chamberlain, both attached to. the staff of the University of California at Berkeley. o W3AT DID they do to win? They discovered the anti- proton. Using the giant atom- smashing bevatron at Berke ley, they found that by clash ing their newlji discovered? anti-proton and a proton to gether, both dissolved LIGHT. WHY IS THAT important? It's of course over the heads of us laymen. a But Lead can be CHANGED INTO GOLD by knocking three protons ou of each lead nucleus. If protons cpan do things like that, maybe anti protons can do things even more astonishing. Anyway KNOWLEDGE is POWER."
