The number 1.1 This Is Our Task Is the world of today a "rocket-filled jungle"? Is it a "dark, fearsome place"? Are many of us "retreating mentally" from the world because of its terrifying possibilities? Maybe some of us are. Maybe too many. May be, as the race of humans, we are not facing the challenges and the opportunities, and, instead, are scrambling for some sort of pseudo-security in today's luxuries, gadgets and fripperies. t MAYBE. 1 But this has always been true, ever since mankind stopped being a lone scavenger and hunter, and started being a social and commun al entity. There have always been people who have faced the challenges, looked to the future, done the work of society not always well, not always enough, not always wisely. The societies of mankind have repeatedly broken down into wars, famines, pestilences, revolutions, civil strife. But always there have been those who attempted, first, to avoid these breakdowns, and when they happened, to patch the framework together again. THE WORLD of man today is threatened and challenged as never before. Many of course do ignore both lhe threat (because they cannot bear to think about it) and the challenge (because they either refuse to care, or feel that there is nothing they can do). But there are those who, while recognizing the threat, fail to be intimidated into inaction, and those who, recognizing the challenge, do what they can to face up to it. And it is to such that we must look for lead ership today. As individuals we can do little. But individuals, together, become a force whose collective judgment can change the world. CO, AS individuals, we And what are they? They are to be as informed as possible about the nature of both the and to form our opinions They, are to think constructively (and this is difficult, for mankind generally finds the task of thinking a difficult one), and to find for our selves roles which we steady, but very real world.

To read, to query, to to vote these are our And no mean responsibilities they are, either. On them rests the possibility of our success as a nation and as the race Lack of Facts Most reporters will sort of story to write is one about a labor dispute Each side is cagey, each is reluctant to talk too much for fear of endangering his side and so on. The result is often an unintentionally inaccurate, story. (As an example, the started more than three months ago, and threat ens to resume after the 80-day "cooling off" period but still the issues are hazv. and perhaps not even understood by many intimately involved). OOW MUCH more difficult, then, is getting at the facts involved at a strike against news papers, which effectively control the major dis semination of public inf ormation. Struck newspapers, when they continue pub lishing as is the case in Portland at the moment are suspected of printing only their own side of the dispute, or at least slanting the news to favor their own side. , Maybe they do ; maybe they don't The temp tation to do so would, of course, be terrific. Ob jectivity and impartiality are hard to come by when one is party to a dispute. . . ; A NY WAY, wre wonder if many people know " the basic and factual issues involved, which may (or may not) be more than those listed in the statements by the publishers. We certainly don't. Rumors are rife in Portland, with charges on both sides becoming increasingly Bitter. And the truth is, as a result, ever more difficult to come by, as the two parties seem to get further and further away from a settlement. , On the face of it, the newspapers have the better of -the argument. But on the other hand, all the motivations and views of the striking stereotype union members, and the other union ists who observed the picket lines, have not been obtainable at this distance, principally because the papers themselves are the chief sources of news in Portland. We can say, however, we hope the strike is over soon, for too many ing, or being mightily inconvenienced.

VZY0I7S in MS BLOCK IS TKIN' TO SELL HIS HOUSE' Matter of Fact NG TIM AND MME. ; DE BEAUVOIR Macao At barely 20 years of age, Ng Tim is already work worn. For the last month, she has been earning her living for herself and a baby as an earth carrier on a local con struction proj ect, where she is paid the equivalent of about ten American dol lars a month She owes Jospb aisop this great im provement in her lot to an imprudence committed by one of the Communist cadres of her former people's commune, which is not far from this city of refuge. The cadre gave a senior farmer a communal sampan, with orders to go up the river for a load of some sort of supplies. Ng Tim and two younger farmers were sent along to help. The five of them-for Ng Tim had taken her baby into the fields with her-were hard ly in the sampan and out of the cadre's sight, when they decided to seize the chance to "run away from starva tion," as Ng Tim put it. They slipped down river, paddling desperately all night. They barely eluded the Chinese Communist patrol boat, and they reached safety in Macao. AS THEY described their former existence in the commune, one could under stand why they risked their lives, left their families be hind without a word, and abandoned the homes they were born in, for nothing bet ter than the poorest coolie wages in this city. No South ern chain gang ever worked 12 to 16 hours a day, seven days a week. No Southern chain gang s convicts were ever forced to do their work or a few daily bowls of starchy mush, without so much as a little additional fat- back and greens. But just this had been the situation of Ng Tim and the others until they escaped. The story of Ng Tim is not exceptional, either. With some variations in the quantity of poor rice and bad sweet po tatoes in the diet, the worse-than-chain-gang life is the standard life of the people's communes, as - described . iy the refugees and escapees here and in Hong Kong. But this raises a major question, which is symbolized by the flat con tradiction of poor Ng Tim, a humble, work - worn young Chinese peasant woman, by the famous female leader of French intellectual life, Si mone de Beauvoir. If you read Mme. de Beau- voir's glowing account of her Chinese journey, "The Long March," you cannot even be lieve in the existence of Ng Tim. Indeed, you can hardly believe in the existence of Ng Tim if you read the many oth er reports on China, which are not marked by Mme. de Beau- voir's exceptional combination of fatuous self-satisfaction, gross credulity, and compla cent ignorance of China and the Chinese past. Where, then, does the truth lie? All the scores of refugees I have talked to, and the great majority of the tens upon tens of thousands of refugees and escapees in this city of Hong Kong, come from only two Chinese provinces, Kwang- tung and Fukien. Being just opposite Taiwan across the Formosa Strait, Fukien has to feed a very heavy concentra tion of the Chinese Commu nist Army. Kwangtung has to provide a large part of Hong Kong's food, which is Com munist China's biggest single hard currency export. Thus there is a case for the view that food requisitions in these two provinces are especially cruel. The fact must be noted, Bv Joseph Alsop because this case is argued by intelligent observers. VET the case does not really - stand up, so far as one can learn. On the one hand should not have dared to pre sent the evidence of the few scores of escapees I have in terrogated myself, without checking to make sure that their evidence was broadly representative. It was possi ble to check, because machin ery exists for systematic, con tinuous refugee interrogation on a big scale. I have been as sured that my own results do not differ from the results ob tained by this machinery. On the other hand, while most of the refugees pro cessed by this machinery come from Fukien and Kwangtung, some regularly come from other Chinese provinces, in cluding even the northern provinces. The stories of the people from other provinces, though much t less numerous, are significantly similar to the massive data from Fukien and Kwangtung. In short, where you would naturally look for . evidence that the Kwangtung-Fukien conditions are exceptional, . you find in stead evidence that these con ditions are general. In the circumstances, one must there fore conclude that the picture painted by these unhappy people here in Macao and Hong Kong, is the true pic ture of the present situation for all the hundreds of mil lions of people in rural China. As to the contradiction be tween this fearful picture and the picture painted by Mme. de Beauvoir, it should not trouble those who remember the recent past. The late Be atrice Webb, another intelli gent female goose rather bet ter equipped than Mme. de Beauvoir, made Stalin's Rus sia sound like a people's para dise at the very moment when Stalin was murdering 15,000, 000 of his own people in cold In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The news dispatches tell us this morning that colleges from coast to coast are pro testing the loyalty oath re quired by the National De fense Act of 1958 from stu dents seeking federal loans to pay for their education. The affidavit included In the loan application states that the student does not be long to, believe in or support any organization that believes or teaches the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or violence or by illegal or unconstitutional means. THE protest, of course, is based upon intellectual freedom that is, the right to believe whatever one chooses to believe. But This particular situation in volves some rather unusual circumstances. The student is applying for a loan to finance his education. The loan is from the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES,' who pay the taxes that provide the funds out of which the loan is to be made. It seems to me that the peo ple of the United States, who put up the money, are entitled to know how the student who is applying for the loan is go ing to use the education that will be financed by the loan. I S HE going to use it to ad vance the cause of free gov ernment in the United States of America? Or is he going to use it in the service of organi zations that believe in and teach the overthrow of the U. S. government by force or violence? These are searching ques tions. They go to the very root of preservation of our way of life. It appears to me it is Drummond (Walter Lippman is again reports from Washington in his U.S.-CASTRO'S SCAPEGOAT Washington W h e n e v e r something goes sour some where in the world, there is a tendency among some Ameri cans to wring their hands and exclaim: "What have we done wrong? What can we do to correct it?" 1 In .Cuba the United States remains the target of the most vicious anti-American attacks deliberately inspired and spread by the Castro govern ment. In the Republic of Panama, where just about everybody is getting ready to run for resident,, tne de Liauuaraia government permitted a mob to invade the Canal Zone and do extensive damage without raising a finger to preserve order. And some will ask: "What have, we done wrong? What can we do to correct it?" I am .not suggesting that every . American policy and every American action is right, that we don't make our fair quota of mistakes. But I am suggesting that everything somebody else gets sick, we don't need to rush to the hos pital. rnHE Castro revolution is sick and there is no cure in Fidel Castro's prescription that the United States take the' medicine. Most Americans warmly welcomed the overthrow of the Batista dictatorship. We earnestly hoped that Fidel Castro, a brave and popular revolutionary, would prove that he had more than the ability to seize the govern ment, that he also had the ability to govern democrati cally and constructively. Jules DuBois, the veterap Latin American correspond ent of the "Chicago Tribune," who was close to Castro and who covered the revolution from his side, was convinced that Castro was an idealist who . believed deeply in the democratic process. Now DuBois is being spit upon and his life threatened by Castro followers because he has written that, now in power, the Cuban leader has forgotten his ideals, is using many of the methods of Ba tista, and is showing' no evi dence and no interest in giv ing political freedom to the Cuban people. The Cuban economy is grinding to a halt. Unemploy ment is mounting. Havana s hotels are nearly barren of tourists. The regime has seized property without due compensation. Castro is in serious difficulty. Naturally he blames the United States. He has lost the suDDort and the respect of most of the moderate, demo-cratically-m i n d e d political leaders of other Latin Ameri- blood. The Russian experience established the rule, 'Believe only those who have gone through the wringer and got away to tell about it." It seems to me that this rule ap plies to China today, (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. quite reasonable for the peo ple of the United States, who are putting up the money, to require from applicants for a loan to finance their educa tion a properly supported statement as to how they ex pect to USE their education when it is acquired. KNOWLEDGE is POWER. It is hard to believe that the people of the United States want to provide more power for those whose pur pose is to tear down the gov ernment and the institutions of our country. Try and -By BENNETT CERF- MARK TWAINs vacationing upstate, decided to take a drive one evening, but told the stable boy he did not' have to wait up for him. "Just lock up," ordered Twain, "and put the key under this mat by the front -door." When the humorist re turned home, however, there was no- sign of the key. Exasperated, he woke up the stable boy who speedily reassured him, "Don't go losing your temper, Mr. Mark. I found a much better place to hide that key!" . A famous, egomaniaca! film producer was holding forth on the futility of pro ducing fantasies under prevailing market conditions. "The public won't go for that kind of stuff," he announced categorically. One intrepid listener demurred. "How about 'Here Comes Mr. Jor dan'?" he said timidly. "That was pure fantasy and it netted a clear profit of $600,0001" "All right," conceded the producer, "it made 5600,000. But if it, hadn't been a fantasy it would have made six million !"

For his purposes there is little to be gained from ranting at his neighbors, but he can, for a time at least, stir up the dust by ranting at big bad United States and blaming us for the troubles he has brought to Cuba and the dif ficulties he has brought on himself. Perhaps we could make some kind of accommodation with Castro which might tem porarily result in cutting back his anti-American propagan da. But this would be very short-sighted. Better that .we should stand, as I believe we are standing, for non-intervention in the internal affairs of another country though our sympathies are with represen tative democratic government. Better that we should demand respect for property rights based on international law (no seizure without due com pensation) and demand, as we are demanding of Panama, that a government discharge its duty of maintaining law and order. What we should avoid and what we are trying to avoid is any action on our part which will contribute to propping up the Castro government or bringing it down other than by its own weight." Cuba is bigger than Castro and we must keep in a posi tion so that, when the time comes, we can demonstrate our friendship for .the Cuban people. One way to do so is to refuse to appease Castro and to refuse to be driven into an anti-Cuba state of mind by the anti-Americanism of its gov ernment. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

Home Destroyed by Shady Cove Fire Shady Cove - Fire Friday morning destroyed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Cooper, Tiller-Trail highway, while members of the family were away. Besides all house hold possessions, two automo biles were destroyed in the blaze, according to reports. Cause of the fire was be lieved faulty wiring since there had been no fire in the stove, according to reports. Cooper, a logger, was at his job and his wife is visiting in California. Their children, Al- den, Neil and Darrell,.were all in school at? the time. Stop Me IPOTIkUCEC (By M-T Staff We can't resist a couple more comments about cran berries. The fellow who wrote un der the title, "Thanksgiving Lament," last week: "Alas, no berries in our bowl Because of aminotriazole." this week found that there is, after all some hope. He came up with this one: "Last week's lament was premature. They found some berries . plump and pure. But if you eat them, don't . forget There's still that pesky cigarette!" For those who like cran berries, and who also are a little spooked by the amin otriazole flutter, may take heart from the word of the magazine Chemical Week, which reports that one would have to eat TWO QUARTS of cranberries EVERY DAY for 23 years to reach the feeding test levels which affected the ..laboratory rats. . Are cranberry growers the only ones suffering these days? Evidently not, accord ing to Ila Grant, columnist on the. Bend Bulletin (who once served a vacation stint on the M-T). "Things are bad all over," Ila declares, and goes on to say: "Paper hangers are up against the wall, Septic tank people are going in the hole. Crop dusters are up in the air. The , masonry people are on the rocks. Stockmen are beef ing. Buttermakers are all churned up. "Engravers are trying for a good Impression. The products made by rug makers are tak ing a beating. Dentists, have a tough grind. Laundrymen are in hot water. - "Bakers knead dough. Book publishers are in a bind. Com mercial fishermen are in deep water. Wool growers are get ting fleeced.

Poultrymen are an rowiea up. rueciricians are - shocked. Masseurs are j rubbed the wrong way. And," Ila concludes (for tunately), "the cranberry bus iness is bogged down."

The gasoline was sold in error to the man, A. A. Gos nell, Wednesday night by a local service station but the mistake was not discovered until Thursday morning. Af ter it was reported, radio sta tions began broadcasting warnings to the purchaser and local police asked Copco for aid. The Copco office here had no record of Gosnell so the request was relayed to the or ganization's main office in Medford. Nehru Rejects Red Buffer Zone New Delhi-UPD-Prime Min ister Jawaharlal Nehru today rejected Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-Lai's Nov. 8 note demanding a buffer zone along the Indo-Chinese frontier, and an immediate meeting with Nehru to settle their border dispute. Nehru said no meeting could be held until the Delhi and Peiping governments had reached some "interim under-standing'-including the with drawal of Red Chinese troops from Indian border towns and villages. Nehru's stiffly worded note followed his statements to the Parliamentary Consultative Committee in New Delhi Thursday that any Chinese Communist violations of the borders of Sikkim and Bhu tan will be tantamount to war against India.

Our friend suggests it prob ably was a dovecote. WelL as we always say. we're not the only one to make mistakes. Only Thurs day the Oregournal (or is it Jourgonian?) made one -which we hesitate to print in a family-type newspaper.. But the highly respected, and usually meticulous.

Instead of taking hours, the Journal reports, the speeding up process will result in their being named "two months" after the. vent is over. , A mother and high-school- age daughter were in conver sation the other day.

Congratulates Club To the Editor: I would like to congratulate the Jackson ville Lions club and Mrs. Matheny, on their proposed project of a Youth Program for Jacksonville. Your ideas and project have been needed for a long time, but as you say it takes cooperation from all the citi zens. This proposal is not new to me, but it would be news to see and hear of it being ac complished, as most of these ideas never get beyond the planning stage. Just hope and pray the community gets be hind the program wholeheart edly and works toward ac complishing the goal of help ing the teen-agers.
