Partisanship EtAl
. The present plight of the state of Michigan
is an object lesson in what can happen if partisan
politics are allowed to run rampart.!
The state sixth wealthiest of the 50 is
broke. . , .
Unless a new tax program is worked out, and
in a hurry, state services would have to be cut by
some 27 per cent, resulting in 25,950 college
students leaving school, a reduction of 420 in the
state police force, skeltonization of prison oper
ation, a halt of admissions to mental hospitals,
and a total lay-off of some 7,500 state employees.
' :
""THE governor of Michigan is G. .' Mennen
V (Soapy) Williams, who, because of the pre
dominance of Democratic registration, is now in
his sixth two-year term
But, all during his terms, the legislature has
been controlled by the Republicans, the result
of what Editorial Research Reports calls "urban
underrepresentation.
Williams had advocated an income and cor-
poration profits tax,
blocked it, and passed
creased sales tax, only
use tax. lnen, last month, the state supreme
court outlawed the 1 per
cent,. because the state
sales tax to 3 per cent i
IT IS still unclear what
though it must be assumed that the governor
and the legislature will
work out some sort of a
state in business.
, This is a problem which affects only Mich
igan immediately but
rabid partisan politics and urban underrepre
sentation' are universal in this country.
There isn't much to
politics, except to choose
both parties for office
their party feelings overcome their larger re
sponsibility to the people
But in a nation where it is not only possible,
Dut not uncommon, to

T T Richard Lee Strout
many constituencies in
one vote for a candidate is worth hundreds in
another constituency.
. He gives as examples these :
In California, State Sen. Dick Richards represents
the 4,151,687 people of Los Angeles county; State Sen.
Charles Brown represents the 14,014 residents of Inyo,
, Mono and Alpine counties. A vote in the latter counties
is some 300 times as potent as one in Los Angeles.
In Vermont, Legislator Louis Cahoon represents
the 49 residents of the town of Victory; Legislator
Joseph Moore represents the 33,000 residents of Burlington.-
One Victory vote is worth 600 Burlington
votes. ,
i In New York State, New York city, with some
8,000,000 people, has 90 members in the state as
sembly; upstate New York, with 7,000,OCfO people, has
118 members. , . -
fNE result, Strout points out, is the strangling
wof cities by legislatures dominated by up
state" members. Because of limitations imposed
upon their powers, they cannot handle all their
own problems, and receive little if any state
help. This is one reason, the article declares, why
cities increasingly have looked to the federal
government for help in urban renewal, air pol-
uiuun control, sewage disposal, nospiiai construe
Uon, and others. ". .
Now it can be argued,
ly, max rural legislatures are sounder and more
reliable than those dominated by cities. This is
an argument stemming from the old Jeffersonian
concept that a nation of sturdy, independent
farmers and artisans is
crowded industrial cities
type oi men for government.
JEFFERSON had a point,' at the time. But if
v that great democratic mind were to" return to
this nation today, it could not help but be im
pressed by the vast changes created by the in
dustrial revolution.

STORM WARNING '
NUMBER ONE
Hongkong In Commun
ist China, too many storm
warnings
have been
given in re
cent months.
The warnings
pf I ""j suggest that

ll "s-! riod of na
I I if. I I tional agony
Joseph Aisop crudely com
parable to the agony endured
by the Russian people during
we early five-year plans.
Among these storm warn.
tags, the darkest and most
meaningful is certainlv th
recent, abrupt change in the
army high command. Amid a
drumfire' of denunciations of
"right ODDOSltlonists." Minis.
ter of Defense and hero of th
Korean war, Gen. Peng Teh
Huai, was suddenly cashiered
ana replaced by his ailins old
time rival, Gen. Lin Piao.
Much more significantly, the
Chief of Staff, Gen. Huang
Ko-Cheng, was also cashiered
and replaced by none other
than the chef of the secret po
lice. Gen. Lo Jui-Chlnff.
Among those who know far
more about China . than this
reporter there is a certain
tendency to exDlain thi ex
traordinary event in relative
ly ordinary terms. Superfi
cially, there are some grounds
tor doing so.
IXDR over ' a year, Chinese
A Communist publications
meant to be read by the
inner group nave oeen re
vealing a sharp, three-point
argument about the "PeoDle's
Liberation Army." Persons
unnamed have been sharply
lectured because they hanker
ed for a modern, Soviet-style
army, instead of an army
sun organized on the "im
mortal" principles laid down
by Mao Tse-tung for the
guerrilla war.
The same unnamed nersons
have been lectured,., because
of their resistance to domina
tion of the army by the sacred
Communist party's political
commissars. And the lectures
have also insisted on the
rightness of the widespread
use of army units as labor
troops and of the require
ment, established about a
year ago, that all army offi
cers annually serve one
month in the ranks.
Evidently this dispute about
army policy has been serious.
It could quite easily explain
the simple dismissals of Gen.
Peng and Gen. Huang. One
can imagine the veteran Peng
Teh-Huai presuming on an as
sociation with Mao Tse-Tung
reaching back to the time be
fore the famous "long
march." One can picture him
affronting Mao by his obstin
ate arguments for truly pro
fessional and modern armed
forces. .
THEN too, Gen. Lin Piao's
return tn active) nnlitirs
after long illness, was an
nounced by his appointment
to the inner group of the
Chinese Politburo about a
year ago. One can equally
well imagine Gem Lin in
flaming Mao against his rival,
Gen. Peng.
Yet the dispute about army
policy cannot reasonably be
used to explain the strangest
and most dramatic feature of
the changes in the high com
mand. This was the choice of
the secret police boss, Gen.
Lo, as the new army Chief of
Staff. This is almost on a par
with Stalin's naming Marshal
Beria to run the Red army
when he exiled Gen. Zhukov.
And even .Stalin dared not do
this, no doubt because , of the
bitter enmity that always ex
ists, in au such societies, be
tween the professional army
and the police apparatus.
Why then choose Lo in
stead of a pliable . army 'car
eerist? There is also evidence
to answer this question. For
example, Chinese army officers-
used to be allowed to ,
W A
i
By Joseph Alsop
have their families with them.
But all the "dependents" (our
own ugly word) were abrupt
ly sent back to their villages
at almost the exact moment
when all the villages of China
were entering the remorseless
meat-grinder of the rural com
munes.
The simultaneous loss of
privilege and exposure to the
general misery must have
been a severe shock. The ef
fect of this and comparable
measures on the army was in
turn revealed in an astonish
ing passage in Gen. Lin Piao's
speech on the tenth anniver
sary of the Chinese revolu
tion. e
"WING to the fact that
"the, overwhelming ma
jority of our officers and com
batants are farmers," said
Lin darkly, "it is quite natur
al that some comrades . . ,
consider their problems based
on interests of a transient
and local nature . . . and pet
ty bourgeois ideology."
This is a wonderfully un
ashamed admission that being
a peasant gives rise to danger
ous thoughts about the. Chin
ese peasants' and workers So
viet Socialist Republic. It is
one of several pointers indi
cating that the party leader-
shin changed the high com
mand because they feared
that the communes program
was causing actual disaffec
tion in the army, the main
prop of the regime. Perhaps
they also noticed that whereas
the Hungarian army ended by
fighting side by side with the
Hungarian people, the secret
police, the AVO, were admir
ably loyal to their employers.
From such pointers, one
may deduce the nature of
Gen. Lo Jui-Ching's task. But
one wonders what will hap
pen to the Chinese people
when the ex-ecret police
chief . has reformed the Chin
ese army to his liking.

to give its screen executive
board authority to call a
strike against major motion

The union struck 56 inde

It has signed contracts with

principal point of dispute was
a union demand that writers

Cal Care
To the Editor: With the re
cent publicity concerning the
care of animals in the city
and county, I would like to
give credit to a little-known
group called Cat Care. It is
composed of a few local peo
ple who are using their time,
energy and money in trying,
through humane education
and active welfare work, to
eliminate the cruelty and ne
glect of cats and kittens in the
valley.
They are finding homes,
when possible, for cats, inves
tigating cases of neglect or ill
ness,' and helping people who
are financially unable to give
their cats medical care and
supplying free literature for
anyone interested, on the
care of pets in general.
I have used their services in
obtaining a cat for a friend
and thereby learned of their
work. .
Of. the many groups need
ing public support I would
recommend this group as they
are actually accomplishing a
great deal by hard work and
yet expect no fanfare or pub
licity for their efforts.

Tastes Differ, All Right
' To the Editor: Your editor
ial of the 3rd, "And 'The Mo
vies'," while thoughtful and
perceptive for the most part,
revealed in its final paragraph
a naivete usually associated
with 'ivory tower' estheti
cism, quite different from the
realism one expects of a news
paper editor.
Movies will never earn "a
blanket commendation" from
people with your standards of
taste; and for the same rea
sons that the whole content of
a Public Library, or for that
matter of your own news
paper, would never earn such
a commendation. I need only
mention "Mutt and Jeff' and
the astrological chart.
Movie theaters like news
papers are first of all a busi
ness. To stay solvent we, like
newspapers, find it necessary
and profitable to cater to a
wide spectrum of taste and in
terest. Pictures with the
values of "Anatomy of a Mur
der" are not available every
day. Many of those that may
rank with it, or even surpass
it, simply do not have the
same boxoffice potential. If
the movies ever do earn such
a blanket commendation, I'm
afraid it will be our epitaph.
As to our triple bill, "The
Blob", "I Married a Monster
From Outer Space" and "I
Bury the . Living", will you
contend that the taste and in
terest of the people who at
tended (and they were nu
merous) is illegitimate? Some
of these people I'm sure would
consider your taste in movies
inferior . to theirs,; others
might be urbane enough to
recognize that it is merely
different.
Or do you object to the
quantity Involved? If so you
would have had more to com
plain of on Halloween night,
because then we added "On
the Threshhold of, Space" to
the above, making it quad
ruple bUl! If quantity be a sin,
please note that we are not
the only offenders, because
the other drive-in theater also
had four features on that
night.. '
In my own opinion the pic
tures themselves were of
varying quality, none of them
Academy Award prospects
but each with some merit as
entertainment. "The Blob"
think was the best, neatly
plotted, competently acted,
well directed; a respectable
though minor Item of movie
craftsmanship.
Finally, I think you will
find that the admissions
charged for "Anatomy of a
Murder" aren't dictated by a
desire to keep juveniles out,
but are determined by the be
lief that the public is willing
to pay such amounts for pic
tures of the caliber offered.

There is a firm in Medford

there has been no change in

Bad Name
- To the Editor: In your
Communications column of
Oct. 28, a Eureka, Calif., man
told of how he was ridiculed
by a group of youngsters. No
doubt they were either grade
school or junior high students.
I am not saying they weren't
M.H.S. students, they could
have been, but by the descrip
tion they sounded more Juve
nile. M-H.S. students usually
know how to act with out-of-town
visitors. M.H.S. is proud
of the way their students be
have at out-of-town as well as
our home games.
It was too bad about the
place the Loggers rooting sec
tion had to sit. But it was far
beyond our control. The grade
school football teams had to
sit somewhere. -
This is one point I can truly
say, I don't : tnimc me nign
school students were in . on.
To me it sounds like a group
of junior high students trying
to act big. At the home games
I have noticed groups like this

Disarmament Efforts Facing

. By PHIL NEWSOM

In the coming months there
will be no less than three
separate international con

a common topic. One already
is at work m Geneva. It is the

Early next year a 10-nation

TIED LOANS
GOOD OR BAD? ,
Washington-It is reasonable
that serious doubts should be
raised about the wisdom of
the Administration decision to
attach a "Buy American"
string to much of our eco
nomic aid.
This is a sharp turning
away from the liberal, anti-
restrictive trade policy we
have practised-and preached
-with notable success . since
the end of the war. It seems
to me that all parties con
cerned, the Administration
particularly, ought to give
tiiis action a thorough second
look lest we get embarked
on a policy which will dd far
more harm to America and
to the free world than it will
do good.
. I am not suggesting that
we should not try to redress
the $3 billion imbalance in
trade the U. S. is experienc
ing, due to the fact that, with
tourist dollars flowing abroad
in increasing volume, we are
buying abroad more than we
are selling abroad. We should,
therefore, be anxious to arrest
the drain on our gold reserves
But the real issue is not
whether we need to correct
our trade imbalance but
whether the course the Ad
ministration is taking that
is, requiring recipients of the
Development Loan Fund to
buy American products even
when it is decisively un
economic for them to do so
is the best way to go about it.
rpHE new tried-loan policy,
J- requiring other govern
ments, as condition ot sucn
loans, to purchase in a single
market the U. S. market-
irrespective of . cost, would
not contribute more than $100
to $200 million to our balance
of payments. The question is:
Will not the drawbacks and
harm which this policy will
do to our long, constructive
effort to build in the.whoK
free world a competitive,
freer flowing, multi-lateral
trade system be far greater
than the . dollar advantage?
There is certainly an impres
sive case to be made against
this action and the principal
arguments are these:
1 it will further cut the
commodity aid we are fur
nishing abroad at a time wnen
President Eisenhower had de
clared that Congressional cuts
have reduced it ,below the
minimum necessary.
2 The economies of many
underdeveloped countries
will be seriously hurt.
3 Just because the Soviet
Union ties all its loans to the
purchase of Iron Curtain
goods is no reason we snouio;
served for M.H.S. students
only.
I think the schools should
tell and explain these things
to their student bodies. When
they start wising off it gives
the students that are doing a
good job a bad name, and also
gives the high school a bad
name.

Gromyko Gimmick Unnoticed
Finally, in the spring it is
expected that the United
States, Britain, France and
Russia will meet at the sum
mit for further disarmament
discussions.
Generally unnoticed but
clearly defined by Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Gromy
ko at the closing session of
the Supreme Soviet in Mos
cow was this gimmick:
"Control (inspection to see
that disarmament terms are
carried out) must correspond
to the extent and stage of dis
armament. Control without
disarmament would be an at
tempt to establish espionage."
- In other words to the West:
"Lay down your arms first,
and then we will let you see
that we also have' laid down
ours."
- With Communist deception
in the rearming of North
Korea as an existing example,
the West find it impossible
to agree to any such condi
tion. Ignores International Force .
Another : gimmick is the
Khrushchev proposal that in
dividual states be left with
"strictly limited contingents
of police" to maintain internal
order. '
do the same. The fact that we
have not done this in the past
has been the most visible
proof that we were not trying
to make economic satellites
out of the recipient countries.
4 Not only will the "Buy
American" policy hurt the na
tional economies we are try
ing to help, but it would hurt
the U.S. politically because
U. S. aid would have a less fa
vorable impact on the under
developed and uncommitted
nations and people.
5 We are weakening our
ability to counter the effec
tiveness and lure of Soviet
aid offers.
6 We will undercut the
cause we have helped bring
to such useful fruitiofa the
cause of persuading other na
tions by our example and ar
gument to accept the U.S.
thesis that a free, competitive
world trade system is best for
everybody.
TT IS perfectly
true that
X
there are new factors in the
world trade picture. We are
losing trade and dollars to our
allies whose impoved produc
tivity and economic health we
have helped to bringv about.
Today other free-world na
tions, especially , Germany,
Britain, France, and Japan,
are able to and should bear a
larger burden of foreign aid
through loans.
It seems to me that these
facts lead tis to the heart of
the question. Should we not
first try, as I think we can, to
enlist the cooperation of our
economically strong allies,
without any "Buy American",
or "Buy British" or "Buy Ja
panese restrictions, to
strengthen further the freely
competitive world trade sys-
ten in which we all share
equally before we take steps
away from this healthy sys
tem, before we ourselves em
bark on this "Buy American"
tied-loan policy which turns
away from the competitive
world trade system we rightly
want to promote? .

Any police force large
enough to maintain internal
order in Russia or China for
example, certainly would be
large enough to overrun any
smaller disarmed neighbor in
the event the larger decided
"discipline" was necessary.
The Khrushchev proposal
made no mention of any in
ternational force to handle
or monitor inevitable disputes
between nations.
The machinery for such a
force already exists unde.r the

Charles Van Doren, who" ad
mitted Monday ' he entered
the quiz show competition
(and stayed in even after
learning that the questions
were rigged) for a chance to
make some quick money is
broke.
The trustees of Columbia
University this morning ac
cepted, -without comment," his
resignation as an English
teacher. He is under suspen
sion from his $50,000 job -as
a TV commentator. He says
taxes took most of his win
nings in the rigged show. With
what was left, he bought him

fancy apartment.

owe more than I have left.": -
Easy come, easy go. '

H guished father, who won
the 1940 Pulitzer prize for
poetry and is the author,
among other works,, of An

could have cited for him back

we weave
"When first we practice to
deceive." . "

tening ills .a prey, - . --

''A break can break them,

WHEN Oliver Goldsmith
whote those lines, a long
time ago, I don't think he had
in mind big CONSTRUCTIVE

as the' Ford industrial empire,
which brought mankind a hew
