FAA on Trial
In this space, just over a year ago, there was
comment on the vital necessity of the new Fed
eral Aviation Agency taking giant strides in over
coming a long lag in air traffic control.
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." E.A.

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.
I need an answer.

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

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.

Tax Agents Find 'Volunteer' Taxpayers
Use Multitude of Tax Avoidance Plans

Congress thought this was
reasonable, and told him to

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

salesman explained. What he
sold was vitamins, to help
hang onto youth. Latham's
agents regretfully knocked
the claim in the head.

H a rry Bridges Again
Challenges Federal
Government on Law
By LYLE C. 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.-.:

A lady taxpayer, unfortu

boss, thought her three great

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.

long on history but with only
a brief background of inde

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.

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."
