Not in Our Image A mature view of foreign aid, but one that unfortunately is not yet where in the United States, was presented to the Colombo Plan nations Indonesia. Speaking for the aid the world, Sukarno sounded a warning that the aid-giving countries of the world cannot afford to ignore.

S t r o n g ly aided by c ircumstance, Nixon in sev en years has built up the secondary office to a presige it never had be fore in our history. The will ingness of his chief, President Eisenhower, to turn over such unusual power to the vice presidency has been the first factor. But Nixon's eager readiness to use that power has been equally important. Now, Mr. Nixon is already planning so that the office he has elevated will not return, after 1960, to its old status as a kind of sour political joke. Traditionally, the vice pres--idency has been seen by poli ticians as a job for a faceless stand-in whose only import ance lay in his being around to take over in case of the death of his president. A VICE Presidential candi date is usually selected by the presidential n cm i n e e himself, after some consulta tion with advisors. But if Nixon gets the top nomina tion next year, two things may be put down as certain: 1. Richard M. Nixon alone will decide who is to run on the ticket with him. Whatev er "caucus" is held on this subject will be held, really, in Nixon's hat. 2. Whoever is chosen will be chosen on new standards. To begin with, Nixon is not impressed by the old idea of "geographical balance"-if the presidential nominee is from the East, for example, the vice presidential nominee must be from the West, and SO OTii His set of Qualifications for second place on the ticket may be authoritatively de scribed as follows: The sec- and man must first of all be in total sympathy with the policies of the top man. Next, he must have genuine politic al appeal in his own right. He must be able actually to assist the top nominee in stead of just going along for the ride. rpHEN, HE must be young and vigorous enough to take on much foreign travel ing. (Nixon himself has done just such far wandering for Mr. Eisenhower. But if he were president today he would not be setting off on the kind of 11-nation journey Mr. Eisenhower is taking. Nix . would send his VP, in stead.) Finally, Mr. Nixon is Tar from committed to another kind of ticket "balancing," though his mind cannot whol ly be made up until next year. It appears that the Democrats are likely to put a Catholic on their ticket, in one place or the other. Nixon, for his part, may well simply ignore the so-called religious aspect. Many believe that if one party offers a 'candidate from among a religious minority the other party is bound to do likewise. Nixon is by no means so convinced. Indeed, his people reckon, on' the contrary, that in some even tualities the political advan tage might lie in . the other direction altogether. William S. White IIP? S. WHITE rTHEY.think, for illustration, - that if the Democrats be come deeply caught up in "the religious question" they may weU offend all groups -no matter what they finally do about candidates. In such a case, the present odds are that the Nixon camp would bypass the whole con troversy by naming an all Protestant ticket. By doing so they could present the GOP as nobly unwilling to bring into a political cam paign what ought to be ir revalent, the factor of a man's religion. Very well. Now that Nix on's criteria for selecting a vice presidential nominee are thus disclosed, who should that nominee be? Here, all is a great haze. The Nixon people solemnly offer a list of "possibles" as long as your arm. Why are they so vague? ' Because you surely don't do yourself any harm by identifying many stout fellows as fine vice presiden tial material and waiting un til the very last moment be fore rejecting aU of them but one.

All you needed was some saad and a lot of wind to blow them around. We lived in the heart of the tumble weed bowl for several years. There were tumbleweeds from Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri piled to the top of our windmill. For three days the tumbleweeds from Texas. Wyoming, Oklahoma and Arizona would blow past our house on the way to Missouri. The wind would change and they would all come back again with tumbleweeds from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri. The jackrabbits did the same thing. They must have had roller bearings. When 1 was seven years old, I belonged to a team call ed "The Tumbleweed Tor nadoes." We played football, basketball and marbles with tumbleweeds. We also played tumbleweeds, tie 25 tumble weeds together with baling wire, launch them in the wind or tie them to our bicycles. That was a great deal of fun, until we ran into a cactus plant. Tumbleweeds weren't worth much. The cows wouldn't eat '"m and the goats couldn't catch 'em. The Union Pacific was the only ones who could catch 'em. They didn't catch cows on the cowcatchers, just tumbleweeds and jack rabbits. . It was some time after I arrived in Oregon before I learned much about jack- rabbits, four - wheeled tin jackrabbits with pneumatic tires. There were 35 jackrab bits under the hood of that car made by the Apperson Jackrabbit Company. This car had a cone clutch, it didn't drive, it jumped. The farthest I ever jumped without killing the motor was 79 feet. It took four hours to jump from Ash land to Medford. I became an expert with tin jackrabbits. Everett Acklin Ashland, .Ore. More on Music To the Editor: I noted your editorial in regard to my let ter in the communications col umn, concerning the "music" available on the Rogue valley radio stations. I'll take each item in the editorial as I come to it. 1-True, I like good old time fiddle tunes,. but I'm def initely not of a' one track mind.

On the contrary, they would prefer that some of their skills remain unremark ed and unknown. So it is with the Communist Foreign Notebook: Hungarian Troops; Welfare of By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor From the foreign editor's notebook: Hungary: It may have nothing to do with United Nations debate on Hungary and a probable new indictment of Russia for its ruthless suppression of the 1956 Hungarian revolt, but Communist East Berlin hears that a. reduction of Soviet troops in Hungary once more is being discussed. Soviet De fense Minister Rodion Mali- novsky is supposed to have taken it up with Soviet com manders in Hungary. Blank Check Bonn reports that Chancel lor Konrad Adenauer will rely on French President Charles de Gaulle to look out for West German interests in the coming western summit meeting. Adenauer is said to feel that among the Western Big Three, de Gaulle has the greatest personal and nation al stake in the critical Ger man and Berlin issues. At the same time, he feels that President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan are too preoc cupied by the atom and arms race to be able to give full consideration to German in terests. Squeeze Britain continues fearful gan music, accordion music and so on, ad infinitum. My complaint has been, consist ently, that we get no variety at all on our local stations I'll repeat, it has been several years since I heard a fiddle on a Rogue valley station. I'll allow that I just didn't turn the darned radio on at the right time of day but, after all, when should I turn it on? Why can't we have a half hour of old time fiddle tunes and an equal amount of time each to accordion, bagpipe, organ, military and marching music, etc.? Then when the program we enjoy is over we can turn the darned thing off. 2-1 noted the statement in which I'm referred to as a "more irascible" correspond ent. Now it has been my im pression that most of those acquainted with me consider me as easy to get along with, definitely not (as my diction ary says) "easily excited to anger." 3-1 hardly expected any of my letters to change the sta tus quo. I'm always interest ed in the opinions of others and I always read the com munications column and the editorial column. I do not think the aforesaid music pro grams, which are available on Roeue valley stations are truly popular with a very large segment of our Jackson county residents.. So-I ve sug gested the radio stations con duct a poll as to the listeners' preferences. 4-1 definitely have not tried to dictate the musical taste. Anyone who desires to listen to rock 'n' roll, light opera, or what have you, has my permission. I'd have no complaints, if. as 1 1 stated above, the stations would give a definite period to certain types of music, (and not mix it up) so we do not have to listen to that type we dislike. Floyd R.

The science of semantics has enabled the Communists over the years to bamboozle Americans and other citizens and - subjects " of the Free World. The science of seman tics is a word game. Ameri can citizens seem to be the most susceptible to the game of words which the Commun ist party of the United States constantly is playing with them. Soft-headed persons are especially susceptible to this Communist gimmick. Seman tics is the science of the mean ing of words. The way the Communists play it, their words do not mean what they seem to mean, but only what the Communists intend them to mean.

"If you have a 'sweet tooth' dear Reader, this chapter will shock you. But it is true the . stuff you spoon into your food is the thief of health and beauty and the greatest criminal of all our unnatural 'civilized food stuffs." "Chemically - processed white sugar steals both calcium and vitamin B from the body and works in such unexpected and unseen ways that its crimes are seldom traced and brought home to it. Unfortunately this thief is such an attarctive and charming fellow that most of his victims are completely under his spell." "The more sugar you eat the more you will want to eat." "Dr. Sandler, a famous American doctor has discov ered that low blood sugar is a factor of susceptibility to po lio (and to other infections) and that people who succumb to polio are always those whose consumption of sugar (and of white flour products) is high, and whose blood su gar is correspondingly low." "Dr. Sandler, brought a se vere epidemic of poljo in large boys' school to an abrupt and dramatic end, merely by stopping the consumption of ice cream and halving the con sumption of sugar and white flour products." "When Dr. Sandler pub lished his diet for preventing polio it greatly reduced the in- cidence of this disease in North Carolina and neighbor ing states, but it also consid erably reduced the sale of ice creams, sweets, and colas; these fell by a million gallons in one week alone. Big busi ness got wise, however, and soon no editor was allowed to publish his articles and no ra dio network to broadcast his talks. ... Dr. Sandler's diet withheld ice cream, jams, jel lies, cakes, sweets, sugar, soft drinks and over-processed starches like white bread and white flour products. It in creased the intake of protein foods milk, eggs, meat, and included whole wheat bread and wheat germ." When I read this indictment of white sugar, I was shocked. I have sent this as a letter to the editor in the hope that many conscientious motners might see it and make neces sary changes in their families' diets. It would reduce the in cidence of illnesses, beginning with colds, and all down the line of degenerative diseases. Anna M. Streed 36 North Peach st. Medford.

NEW ROLE FOR NATO Washineton Paul Henri Spaak, Secretary General of JMAiO and one of the ablest statesmen in EurODe. is mak ing a strong case for enlarg ing the role of the North At lantic Alliance to counter the Soviet challenge to bury the western nations economical ly. Mr. Spaak received a re sponsive hearing from the NATO parliamentarians-150 of the political leaders of the 15 NATO countries meeting in Washington - and my in formation is that he won sub stantial endorsement from President Eisenhower this past week. What Mr. Spaak is saying and, it seems to me, at the ngnt iime-is tnis: That the Soviet Union, with the satellite economies regimented to help, is at the point of launching a major economic offensive to aid sel ected underdeveloped nations ana mus to maKe Commun ism more alluring. That the United States can not and. should not be ex. pected to meet this challenge by itself, that the economic contest is not between the So viet Union and the U.S. but between the Soviet Union and all the industrialized powers of the free world. That the only way to win this contest is for the strone- er Western nations to do more to help the underdevel oped countries while the U.S. does not do less, and that the best means of doing it to gether is a "revised and ex panded NATO." THE VIEWS which Mr. Spaak is advancing paral lel closely the views which have been developed within the Administration. The fu ture contest with the Soviets, as Mr. Khrushchev candidly remarked only a few days ago, is going to be "rugged." Mr. Eisenhower urgently be lieves that Western aid to the underdeveloped peoples must be increased and that our now prospering allies should take up their part of the burden. That is generally ac cepted. What remains to be deter mined is whether the Western nations will set up separate aid programs or whether the Western governments will act together to concert their ec-1 onomic programs to accomp Hear your favorite hymns on KMED every Sunday, 10:30 a.m., sung by "Tennessee Ernie" Ford ATMOSPHERE The very name of the Amer ican " Committee for the Pro tection of the Foreign Born is a phoney, an exercise in Communist double talk or semantics. The ACPEB was not set up to protect the for eign born. It was set up as a Communist front to furth er the objectives of the Com munist party. The House com mittee on un-American activi ties came up years ago with the answers on the ACPEB. Hear this: "The ACPEB was founded by the Communist party the House . committee reported. "in order to exploit racial di visions in the United States for its own revolutionary pur poses, v . "It (the ACPEB) has been linked, closely to the Interna tional Labor Defense, the legal arm of the Communist party, in defense of foreign born Communists and sympa thizers. The ACPEB, by pro tecting foreign Communists who come to this country, has aided in enabling them to op erate here." Next month will be the 27th annual ACPEB confer ence, each devoted to the wel fare of the Soviet Union and, wherever needful, against the welfare of the United States. The House committee reported long ago that the ACPEB record "shows a strict adherence to the line of the Communist party on both foreign and domestic policy." Hail, comrades, and fare well! lish the greatest good where it is most needed. . It is Mr. Spaak's conviction that the West can come out oa top ia this "rugged" con test with the Soviets only if we act unitedly. While Mr. Spaak sees the military danger as remaining until there are agreements in substance, not just on pro cedures, with the Soviets,. he sees the looming contest with Moscow primarily as econom ic, political, and ideological. He argues that just as NATO came into being to meet the military danger, it now should adapt itself to meet the economic and political danger. It is for this reason that Mr. Spaak proposes a wider role geographically, political ly, and economically for the alliance. He suggests that NATO cannot meet the new chal lenge if it confines itself only to Western Europe since the new challenge is world-wide. TllR. SPAAK proposes two lines of action to enable NATO to adapt itself to the new situation: He would ask the members of NATO to do more to con cert their broader foreign policies within the NATO in an effort to get a common for eign policy for the West as a whole. This is Mr. Spaak's alternative to President de Gaulle's plea for an Anglo American - French "director ate" of NATO. He would use NATO to enlarge and, in part, direct a more coherent Western aid program for the underdevel oped countries. There is nothing in the Spaak proposals which would increase the NATO military commitments. There is much in the Spaak proposals which corresponds to what the Eis enhower administration has been saying it wants to achieve in the field of enlarg ing the aid program and dis tributing the burden. If the concerted Soviet ec onomic offensive brings only a disunited response from the West, Moscow is going to have that kind of contest half-won at the beginning. It seems to me there is great merit in the direction which Mr. Spaak is proposing that NATO should take. (c) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. SPACIOUS PARKING LOT
