Corvallis Gazette-Times. ' " Think For Ourselves "Federal watchdogs of the nation's health contend that the antif luoridationists are perpetra ting tooth decay a disease that seriously im pairs the -nation's health, manpower and eco nomic resources." We hope a lot of people read this and other important statements on tion in an article by Frank Carey, AP science writer, published recently in metropolitan pa pers. Here in McMinnville, where we voted for fluoridation and tfyen were frightened away from it by a militant minority in a subsequent election, the lethargic majority should take little pride in we condition of our children s teeth. Carey cited all of the arguments used by the anti forces in the fluoridation battles. ;iWe saw and heard most of them TiereV He alsft pointed out what most of us know virtually all of the scientists, technicians and medical people to whom we regularly trust our lives, are overwhel mingly in favor of the fluoridation program. . . TTHE large cities, where these technical people 7 have strong sway, have fluoridation for 42 million Americans. A. minimum of the people in cities under lU.UOO have ways due to tactics playing upon the emotions of uninformed people. Health officials say it has been proved,, Carey wrote, that fluoridation can prevent two out: of three cavities in growing children and that the method is absolutely safe. Yet a great majority of Americans deny their children that protection and pay out extra billions in dental bills because they are captives to the impassioned pleas of a minority. ! . ' Let's start thinking for ourselves about this question particularly here in Oregon where fluoridation" is so essential to the dental health of our youngsters. News-Register, McMinnville. 'In One Supreme Court' e" e aee The Supreme Court, opening its fall term recently, faced the. usual and visible load of difficult cases and a certain amount of criticism from those who have not been pleased with some of its recent decisions in the field of civil rights. The cases are difficult because that is 'what the court is for. . The criticism, as has been true on other oc casions, comes mainly from persons who accuse the court of being political or of usurping power because it has hot supported their kind of politics or added to their kind of power ... V . j presumably interests the general public Y most is that field in which boundaries must be drawn between state and Federal authority, and that other field often connected with the first in which the individual and government face each other. - : : . None of us should ever forget that this court, by words alone, can throw around the humblest individual a defense which all our police and all our armed forces cannot overcome. " r . -. i IT IS this court, indeed, that differentiates our 1 Republic most distinctly from the spurious "Democratic Republics" of the Communist world. If these nine men did not stand firm, even in their often divided opinions, it would be of little avail for Congress to pass laws or for the Presi dent to try to enforce them. The nine men are human and fallible. They must forever fight the temptation to legislate rather than adjudicate.

THE FILTH PEDDLERS Washington Postal author ities are beginning to make' trouble for the purveyors of obscenity who are currently mis-using the ' U. S. mails to the tune of some $500,000,000 a year. It is going to take more time and effort and aroused public support and probably stronger laws before the gov ernment can immobilize this traffic in filth which centers its greedy hands upon Amer ican youth. But some headway is being made More complaints from more parents are being received by the Post Office with evidence on which it can act. More arrests are being made. Somewhat stiffer sentences are beginning to come from the courts. . A year ago complaints, mostly from mdignant fath ers and mothers, against re ceiving in the mails obscene matter or advertisements for obscene matter which were neither solicited or wanted, numbered 50,000.: During the present fiscal year they total led 70,000. This doesn't neces sarily mean that more' filth went into the mails that is hard to measure but it sug gests that there is greater re sistance to receiving it. A year ago there were 293 arrests for this kind of mis use of the mails. This repre sented a 45 per cent increase over 1957. In the list year, ending June 30, 1959, there were 315 arrests. . . UNTIL quite recently the Post Office has been han dicapped at two points. First, the law permitted it to prose cute offenders only at the point of origin of the mail. Secondly, the courts were so consistantly lenient that the sentences represented little more than, an inconvenience or the fines a modest charge on busmess operations. - The difficulties which the Post Office Department has exDerienced in trying to pros ecute mis-use of the mail by the obscenity purveyors were described by one official an these terms: "Even when the euiltv were apprehended, little could be done against them because of the benign interpretations handed down by certain courts. These courts were not ablv in Los Aneeles and New York where the great bulk of the mail order busmess in obscenity originates. "Over the years their sort rulings established virtual sanctuaries in which the deal ers operated with impunity and in defiance of justice. "Usually even those few of fenders who were convicted were let off with a slap on the wrist a light fine or a brief jail term. To racketeers operating on a big scale, this kind of sentence is more a minor discomfort than: any thing akin to punishment." BUT now the Post Office De partment is armed with legislation which enable it to prosecute either at the point where the mail is received where actual damage to chil-dre- - takes place or at the place of origin. Armed with this authority, the Department is beginning to make progress. During the last fiscal year it has carried out more than 14,000 separate investigations, of which come 10,000 were based on com plaints sent in by aroused parents. There is also a trend to ward stiffer sentences. Either the courts are becoming more acutely aware of the relation ship of the commercialized spread of obscenity to the in crease in juvenile delinquency and other crimes or thej are responding to public pres fh.Ma.Wasotil ws i , sures. Whatever the cause, the courts are not as often letting off offenders with bland sen tences. The turn came in the first case prosecuted under the new law. A man and a woman, who had been mailing obscene material from the Pacific Coast, were convicted in Boise, Idaho. They were put behind the bars for ten years and fined. In a recent California con viction a ten-year prison sen tence was imposed in contrast to probation which had here tofore been granted in num erous instances. Three to five- year sentences are now be coming common. Much more needs to be. done, but those who seek to make money out of this crime-breeding traffic are getting a little worried. , (e) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Wives Show Interest In Husbands' Duties Wives are interested in their husbands' jobs, was the conclusion , arising out of a "husbands, and wives", meet ing arranged by Greyhound lines for their employees, held recently in Medford. The purpose of the meeting was to let the wives know what their husbands were do ing, reported Stan A. Ossman, director of safety for the west ern division. Wives play an important part in the company's safety program, for the relationship between the driver and his wife is often reflected in the husband's driving, he said. Wives are interested too, in the outcome of the, company's sales and advertising plans, for the success or failure of these plans may well affect the job security of the hus band, Ossman added. In charge of the local meet ing was Leo Cunningham, su perintendent, Medford.

The person being interro gated - the answerer - was a former Communist cadre I have named Cheng in two previous reports in this space. He escaped some months ago' from his post as chief clerk of a people's commune on the Fukien coast. Those asking the questions were a team composed of Richard Wu of the "Hongkong Standard," the able Fukienese newspa perman Alec Sun, and this re porter. As further introduction, it is only necessary to say that we . questioned the escaped chief clerk for a total of. six hours, laying all the usual re portorial traps to catch liars or exaggerators. Yet Wu and Sun and I all ended with the firm belief that the escaped chief clerk was telling the literal truths Here then, re produced as nearly verbatim as we could manage, is the political part of the interro gation: ' QUESTION: As we have discussed fairly thoroughly almost every aspect of your own experiences in the com mune, can you comment on how the 'farmers like their livelihood there, and what is thes general feeling towards the Communists? ANSWER: We all know that food and clothing are the two essential factors in Chi na's rural life. When our people have not enough to eat, we don't like it. . The people, as far as my experi ence went, were resentful to the point of feeling anger. But they also knew that the Com munist authority was ruth lessly tyrannical, mercilessly cruel, and very efficient. They were angry, but they did not dare to show their an ger. QUESTION: Then how did you know? Your were a ca dre. They wouldn't dare to re veal their true feelings to you, would they? ANSWER: J knew. Partly from my own observation, you know, from the way they worked, the way they reacted to many things - one couldn't help knowing if one lived among them. And of course there were activists among the farmers who would in form the Party Secretary and other party cadres; they would reflect the resentment and the counter-revolutionary opinions among the farmers to the cadres. . QUESTION: Can you give an example .of this resent ment? , xvl o w Hjjxz i can give you many examples. QUESTION: Please give a very significant one, the most striking one m your opinion. - ANSWER: Now let me see. before the second anti-Right ist campaign after the estab lishment of the communes, a farmer was asked to give his opinion and criticism of the Communists in a mass meet ing. He was 50 years old and 1 Knew nun wen as his son was my schoolmate before the liberation. He was a peddler selling cooked fish, meatballs, and noodles. His background was clear and pure, he was considered trustworthy. Not knowing what he was leading himself into, he said: "If. we want to live decently as we used to do, better hope for the Kuomintang's return. That's our only hope." He was immediately ' arrested, they gave him a "public trial" and he was sent to prison after wards. He is still serving his labor-reforming term. ' His son, already a militia man and a Youth Corps member, was also dismissed and placed in the category of reactionary elements he's a- reaction ary's son, no longer qualified to be a militiaman and Youth Corps member any more. a QUESTION: What was the reaction of the others in that meeting? Did they feel the same way? ANSWER: Well, nobody stood up to say anything for the old man, but I could tell by their silence and the ex pression in their faces that astonishing statements like Tiles have ceased to be a problem!" The secret is a new healing sub stance (Bio-Dyne ) discovery of a world-famous research institute. This substance is now available in tuppotitory or ointment form under the name Preparation H. At your druggist. Money back guarantee. &c. n.8-pt.oe. the old peddler had their sym pathy. QUESTION: Did you hear any complaints yourself? For instance, complaints made not during those criticism meetings. ANSWER: I did. I heard many complaints, especially from the relatives and fam ily members of the overseas Chinese. They complained about too much work, not en ough food, and their money becoming useless because nothing was available. ' QUESTION: : Were there any other signs of resentment that you can think of? Any form of resistance? ANSWER: If you call it re sistance, it was only- a pass ive form, of . resistance. Slo gans were often seen in pub lic lavatories, slogans such as "Down with the Communist party," "Down with Chair man Mao," and "Communism is Hell," and so on. And when the people had to give up all their belongings and had to eat in the public mess halls, they started to steal. They stole whatever they could snatch and they consumed it right away. When caught, it was always the same story -they were too hungry, they couldn't help it. The cadres couldn't punish them too se verely as there was, no direc tive from their superiors as how to deal with small crim es like this. Later instructions regarding these types of crim es somewhat decreased. In fact, there was not much to be stolen anyway. And there was stronger resistance, if you call sabotage active re sistance. Telephone lines were frequently cut, but very seldom the saboteur could be traced. Sometimes the Com munists had to send a whole team of militia to stand guard over the more important lines. But the saboteurs were using guerilla tactics and it was very difficult to guard the whole length of the lines. QUESTION: Do you have any idea who could have done a dangerous thing like that? -ANSWER: - In the early days of liberation, sabotage activities could be easily, stop ped because the masses of people were on the Commun ists' side. They would help the Communists to chase the landlords and reactionaries from, their hideouts and re port their activities to the Communist authority. But la ter on they gradually became indifferent, and: still later they began to participate in the sabotage activities them selves. They did everything they could to do less work, to sabotage, and to delay the workf They only work now when they are under strong supervision directly by the Communist cadres. Sometim es they work at bayonet point, otherwise they wouldn't do what they're told. Generally they learned so much in the past that they know now ev ery way to sabotage without gettmg themselves into trou ble. They have had so much trouble, they are beginning not to care if they have some more. QUESTION: But they are still far from active resist ance? ANSWER: How could the people do much more? They do not have anything to fight with. People could fight Chin Shih Huang Ti (Emperor of Chin Dynasty) with carrying poles and iron hoes, but how can they do this now? They would be machine gunned be fore they could get near the Communists. Actually, full active resist- ance could only come from the militia who carry . guns and ammunition. QUESTION: Then how about the militia? ANSWER: The militia is composed of party members and Youth Corps members who are considered loyal and reliable elements. The militia men are cadres and as cadres they face more serious pun ishment if anything goes wrong with them. And also because of their fear of their superiors and of the . party they didn't dare show any sign of,, resentment. I was in this category. I felt resent ment, yet I did my best to gain their confidence and fav or. - e QUESTION: Now that our discussion has led to the feel ings of the cadres, can you give a general idea of how the cadres like the system?

Too much fuss over one chemical. ANSWER: Among the ca dres party members are al ways more loyal than the Youth Corps members gs the Youth ' Corps members are more often criticised and pun ished. I knew a Youth Corps member who-, was from my village. When the commune decided to seize all the iron window bars from 'his home, he was so angry he asked to be transferred back to school. He asked to be dismissed from the Corps. Later they sent him to Amoy to study in the Amoy Political and Economic college. . 1 I felt the same resentment when they wanted to take out all the doorknobs In our house. My mother used to tell me not to lean against one side, to go as far with the Communists as I used to pre tend to do. She said once the Kuomintang returns, I will get into Hell. When I was al lowed to come to Hongkong, Mother was very pleased. QUESTION: The party members never showed their resentment? For instance how did your friend the Party Sec retary really feel? ANSWER: He sighed very often. He used to tell me that he was very tired, he had not enough pay to support his two children and his wife who were not with him. . But he never dared to show any of his feelings to the masses Once he told me that he had a splitting headache all the time. He said all the work was killing him. And almost every other party member felt the same way, too. . QUESTION: What do you think of this? ANSWER: I think they work hard to keep themselves out of trouble. Their feeling was that they had no choice, They had to work hard. They were ordered to do so, they were not to doubt the party's orders, especially the correct ness of the party's resolutions. The harder they work, the less likely they are going to get into trouble. But of course they would like to have more rest, better ' pay, and an easier life, too. They eat the same food and lead the same kind of life and work just as hard or even harder than the farmers. But they could shout at people if they wanted to. They have a wide authority over a lot of things, and that makes a great difference. . ' QUESTION: You mean that kind of difference would lead the cadres to believe that they actually lead a better life? Or that they like their life a lit tle better? ANSWER: In fact nobody likes the life there in the communes. I believe if there is no change of the system, no change in the communes, if the Communists still will not face the reality in the com munes and in the rural life of the Chinese people, our . mis ery will have no end. Yet the cadres know perfectly well that the Communist party can never back down. Once they back down, they will fall be cause their prestige, will crumble. The mood of .the middle and low level cadres is very unsteady. They do not know what will be the outcome of all this. They don't know what is right, what is the right way. They can only take orders, which is exactly what the party wants, and work as hard as possible to avoid crit icism and trouble. They , are living in constant terror, just like the mass of people. To this day, I still- feel a chill at my back when the woras "public security" are mentioned. There is a big apartment house in Hongkong which bears the same name, Kung An, as the public secur ity force in the mainland. Whenever I passed by that building, I felt uneasy.

And this .at Thanksgiving time - and ' I presume we are supposed to be thankful about it. .; s ; What is at stake? We have a Department of Health, Education and Wel fare. Its newly appointed head, Arthur S. Flemming, free from local political ties and personalities can see the health danger of weed killers impregnating food. His duty is to protect first the people who may unsuspectingly in gest such poison. He must not permit a calculated risk. Mr. Flemming, representing our government, assumes the re sponsibility for us. He is con cerned with all the people, not just a few growers. If we destroy his authority, who can be held responsible? Do you wish to accept the word of the president of Cy namid Corporation? He says that his poison is good if used according to his directions. The grower Says that he fol lowed directions but went on selling, waiting for Govern ment officials to check up. Shall we believe the chemists who work for the spray indus try, or college staff chemists if they receive grants and do nations from the spray indus try? The cranberry growers should be recompensed for loss of crop BUT ONLY if it was not their stupid avarice. The blame should be placed and the ax fall there. This incident, if supported, may help in the clean-up and control of the whole business of sprays, insecticides and ad ditives to American food. Do you have any way of know ing whether the fruits, vege tables, packaged or canned foods are safe to eat? When I was in Washington, D. C, in May, the Department of Agriculture told me they must depend on the Food and Drug Administration to test and remove from market un safe foods. The FDA said that the mechanical turn of brains of the manufacturers could invent new poisons faster than their department could check or remove from the market. They are almost helpless as they have only 2,000 workers and would need 6,000 accord ing to their estimate. Recent history suggests a lesson. The great head of FDA, Harvey Wiley, was crucified when he stood up against vested interests. We must stand by those who can pro tect us. Marie M. Bosworth (Mrs. H. P.
