Reply to a Critic
More than a week ago, we received an anony
mous letter.
There's nothing particularly unusual about
this. But in the case of this particular letter, there
were several unusual aspects.
First, it was neatly typewritten, and composed
obviously by someone of education and intelligence.
Second, while it was of a critical nature, it
did not descend to the level of spite and invective
one expects from the. usual type of anonymous
letter. .
Third, because of these, and because of its
contents, it stayed out of the wastebasket, the
usual quick end for unsigned communications.
THE letter criticized the Mail Tribune for print
ing the series of articles written by Medford
School Superintendent Leonard Mayfield con
cerning his recent trip' to Russia, and criticized
Mayfield, for "copying the party line," and dis
seminating it in this countiy under the guise of
his own experiences.
Now let it be understood that neither public
officials nor newspapers are immune from crit
icism. We would hope, however, that it would be
better-founded than that of our unnamed corres
pondent, who was way off -base on several counts.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM S. WHITE
This Change is Good
One of the lesser preoccupations which has
been discussed in this space from time to time
is the change, the flux which this nation and this
society is undergoing.
The change is at every level of life, at every
level of human activity. And it seems to occur
ever more rapidly, not less.
The most readily evident signs ot this change
are in physical, tangible things-ythe new cars,
appliances and conveniences which have come
to be such an integral part ot the American scene
But there is change, too, at a somewhat less-
noticed (but potentially a more important) level
the level of cultural standards and activities;
in the life of the mind and spirit. '
.
CORROBORATION of this comes in the form
of an article in (of all places) the pages of
the Publishers' Auxiliary, a weekly newspaper
for newspapermen.
It cites nine points, as follows:
1. There are 5,000 community theaters in the Unit
ed States more theaters than radio or TV stations. -
2. Over 700 opera producing groups seven times
as many as 15 years ago.
3. 1,100 symphony orchestras twice as many as
only 10 years ago.
4. Over 1,000,000 copies of the "Iliad" and the
"Odyssey" have been sold in recent years alone.
5. An estimated 28,000,000 people play musical in
struments twice as many as 20 years ago.
6. Shakespeare has never been more popular.
7. Americans now spend more money each year
attend concerts than to watch professional baseball.
8. The magazine "American Heritage," which is
a hard-cover, no-advertising medium devoted to Ameri
can life and culture, . started with a circulation of
60,000 and now totals more than 300,000 per issue.
9. Book stores have been running away with sales
on "art in the home," including sculptured pieces and
reproductions of classic works, while department
stores generally have been asleep at the switch.
T'HE article was making the point that retailers
oV-nlrI tolra o now Innlr or trioiv orlirovticinnr onrl
sales in view of this "cultural expansion." '
Our point is a bit less subtle than that.
It is merely that change is one of the few
constants in the life of today, and that change
is not necessarily bad. -
Books, music, art these are things which are
part of pur cultural heritage, and things which
end to lift mankind toward the attainment of a
full, meaningful and rounded life.
And that is all to the good. E.A.

PANAMA
Washington - In the Latin-
American sea of troubles now
confronting the United States,
the most dan
gerous of all
the roiled wa
ters lie in
Panama.
For mixed
reasons - for
some of which
w e ourselves
are no doubt
to blame - the
Panamania n s
are not satisfied with our con
duct of the 10-mile-wide Canal
Zone within their country.
They want more of the canal's
proceeds, an money. And they
want more "face." Specifi
cally, they wish to fly the
Panamanian flag in the zone,
which belongs to the United
States.
The refusal of such permis
sion by the American gov
ernor of the Canal Zone, Gen.
W. E. Potter, can be easily
ridiculed as some sort of
"brass hat" decision. But its
reasons are neither petty nor
trivial. What is really involv
ed here is no disrespect for
the Panamanian flag. It is a
question of resisting the thin
edge of a wedge. For if the
Panamanian flag can freely
fly today on what is, after all,
United States soil, the lawful
sovereignty of the United
States over the Canal Zone
can be the easier challenged
tomorrow.
IIE are in the zone for a
" sole purpose: to operate a
canal, or, more properly, an
open international highway.
We cannot accept any change
in our treaty arrangements
with the Republic of Panama
which would in any way in
terfere with our operation of
the canal.
For one thing, a large part
of the world commerce of
South America must pass
through the canal. For an
other thing, United States in
dustry is dependent upon the
continued smooth flow of
shipping, as is free world
trade generally. For a third
thing, any sustained interrup
tion in the canal's operation
could become a strategic -
and not merely an economic
danger. For this could have
chaotic effects on the whole
economic underpinning, and
thus the military stability, of
the Western Hemisphere.
There has been no "break'
with the Panamanian govern
ment and will not be. We do
not suspect that government
of wishing to drive us from
the canal or even to impede
its efficient functioning.
ITTHAT, then, is. causing all
' the difficulty? The an
swers may thus be given-on
highly responsible authority:
1. In Panama, as in too
many other places in Latin
America, pulling the Yankee
eagle's tail feathers is increas
ingly popular. The "gringo
is less loved by the public-
and often understandably so,
And politicians in Panama are
like politicians everywhere
They respond to the crowd':
dislikes - particularly when
popular dissatisfactions can
be turned outward against
the foreigners" instead of
toward the ins at home.
2. A tiny Communist min
ority in Panama, ridiculously
unimportant in itself, is nev
ertheless in position to help
foster anti-United States feel
ing. And, of course, it is do
ing so.
3. Nassers Egypt, through
the Egyptian Embassy in Pan
ama, is happily making all the
trouble it can for the United
States. The Egyptians' motive
is obscure. One would have
thought they could have been
satisfied with the endless row
they have made over another
vital canal, the Suez.
THUS one thing only can be
said with certainty about
the whole Panamanian situa
tion: It will not be cured by
the appointment by President
Eisenhower of a whole series
of amiable and vague semi-of
ficial commissions. Sooner or
later, the Administration
simply must undertake a gen
eral bettering of our relation
ships all over Pan America
This cannot be done through
"goodwill" approaches. It
must come through official
and down-to-earth diplomacy,
a diplomacy able to speak fi
nally - and toughly, too,
wherever that is the only
way out - for the United
States government itself.

reports from Washington in his absence.)
WHY MR. K. WAS TOUCHY
Washington - It is now be
coming clear why premier
Khrushchev was so inordi
nately touchy about the "cap
tive nations" resolution which
Congress passed on the eve
of Vice President Nixon's trip
to Russia earlier this year.
You will recall that Mr. K
talked about it on every occa
sion, as if he couldn't get it
off his mind. Why was Mr.
Khrushchev so sensitive over
an expression of opinion by
Congress which simply said
that we did not accept Soviet
domination of the nations of
Eastern Europe as unalter
able?
The answer is beginning to
come out at the Hungarian
Communist Party Congress in
Budapest. It adds up to one
conclusion: that the Kremlin
has been genuinely worried
about the stability of the Hun
garian Communist regime
which it was able to save
three years ago only with So
viet troops and tanks.
WHAT emerges from the
Party Congress in Buda
pest is this:
Thirty-six months after the
Hungarian revolution, the So
viet forces still must occupy
Hungary to keep its unpopu
lar and unwanted regime in
power. And the Hungarian
Communist leader, Janos Ka
dar, with Mr. Khrushchev lis
tening attentively, - "assures"
the Hungarian people that
Russian troops would remain
in Hungary as long as needed.
And why are they needed?
Mr. Kadar could not bring
himself to speak the truth.
He blandly explained that
they were needed to deal with
threats from outside Hungary,
but Mr: K. did not stoop to
these little dishonesties. He
said frankly that "external
forces" - like those of West
ern "imperialists" - "do not
constitute any danger to the
Communist camp" because, he
added "our strength is great
er than theirs."
If external forces, from
which Mr. K. says there is
no longer any danger, do not
require Soviet occupation of
Hungary, then it must be in
ternal forces which require it.
And that is frankly the fact.
Soviet military intervention
in Hungary continues un
abated. It is so visible in every
aspect of the nation's life to
day that Hungary can only
be described as a Soviet mili
tary protectorate and, know
ing how poorly he himself
stands with the Hungarian
people, Kadar made it clear
it would remain so for the in
definite future.
ALL of this is a pertinent
backdrop to the U. N. de
bate on Hungary. Hungary is
a proper and vital matter for
the U. N. for three reasons:
(1) for the sake of Hungary
Time, Quizzes, Et Al
To the Editor: Apparently,
a person assailed throughout
the day with various news
media, advertising, quiz
shows, political promises and
their like sits securely on a
throne made insecure by mis
representation.
Certainly, Time magazine
attempts to detour its follow
ers with the subtle and clever
methods you describe. But
then, so do The Saturday Eve
ning Post, Look, ' and other
periodicals which present
Call On" type stories as fac
tual. I shall not lead you into
an advertising or quiz show
parallel, which you must
agree is obvious.
Someone once did a fanci
ful set of. headlines which
represented the manner three
metropolitan news papers
would lead off their respective
articles on a quaint lurid ax
murder. The city was Chicago
but you are free to substitute
any city you wish. They were,
substantially:
1) Sex Degenerate Hacks
Nude
2) Lovers' Rendevous Ends
in Death
3) Communist Bludg eons
Comrade
The slant of any reporting
following these headlines is
obvious.
Newsweek and U. S. News
are probably more accurate in
their reporting but are not as
entertaining as Time. Here we
find the bone in the fillet.
The followers of Time, quiz
shows, advertising (if there be
such people) and the gamut of
"informative" matter that
drums on our senses each day
should realize that if he is
being entertained, a bit of
skepticism is not out of order,
Too many people of late seem
shocked by what their edu
cation should have led them
to suspect.

Radio Worthless
To the Editor: This is my
first letter to the editor. I
would like to say that the
radio in our home sits silent
and useless. I would like to
know what commercials buy
sponsors if stations babble
and play junk that people
can't listen to.
The music is sickening, the
news is worthless.
Thank goodness we have

Good Music
To the Editor: We have
found ourselves drawn into
the music controversy now be
ing discussed in "Communi
cations." Like several other
recent writers, we wonder
why the noisy type of music
(rock and roll) is so popular
with the radio stations, not
only here in the valley but
MR.
Wll
itself and the rights of the
Hungarian people to be free
and independent;
(2) because the Soviet re
pression of Hungary is not an
isolated incident, it is a pat
tern of Communist policy.
The forerunner was the Soviet
suppression of the East Ger
man uprising in 1953. The
pattern was followed again in
the use of the Chinese Ken
Army to drown the uprising
of the people of Tibet;
(3) only as we keep Hungary
clearly in mind can we see
what Mr. Khrushchev means
when he says he favors "non
interference in the interal af
fairs of other countries."
The presence of Soviet
troops in Hungary must be
part of that "non-interfer
ence."
KHRUSHCHEV is at
his bluntest best in ex
plaining to the Budapest Con
gress that Moscow s armed in
tervention in 1956 was com
parable to armed intervention
by Tsar Nicholas I to put down
the Hungarian uprising in
1848 which was aimed at free
ing Hungary from the feudal
control of the Austrian em
peror.
If the editors of "Pravda"
will go back over their own
pages they will find that the
time was when the Soviet
Communists berated the 1848
intervention as a reactionary
aggression against the Hun
garian peoples' efforts to
throw off the yoke of imperi
alism. It seems to me that Mr. K's
comparison is absolutely ac
curate, that he and Tsar Nich
olas I did exactly the same
thing for the same purpose
under the same circum
stances. But is this what the Krem
lin means when he says it
wants "non interference in the
internal affairs of other coun
tries?" I guess it is.

THE TRANSPORTABLE
ICBM
Washington - On the basis
of all the available evidence,
the American analysts now
3 assume that
v i me soviet m-
, s tercontinental
1 ballistic mis-
gmJ siles and their
.1" MMWUl J5 aua
J are transport
3 able.
On its face,
this may not
look like an es
pecially crave
or significant piece of news.
In reality, however, this news
is considerably more disturb
ing than all the reports of all
the Soviet successes in space
laid end to end and multiplied
by two. The reasons for being
disturbed are easily under
stood, when our own immo
bile ICBM weapons system is
compared with the presumed
osDh Mstip
also in most other communi
ties.
Rather than criticize, how
ever, we would like to point
out that some of these other
communities (larger than
ours, of course) have radio sta
tions that pride themselves in
playing what they describe as
good music.
The best example I know is
station KABL in San Fran
cisco, 960 on the dial, and re
ferred to as "Cable" in the
oay area, we became ac
quainted with this station
over the Thanksgiving day
week end through relatives,
and listened to it almost con
tinuously while in the area,
The music on "Cable" is of
the type that can be listened
to all day without being
"shook up" by a blast of rock
and roll. It resembles the
music piped into some of our
most enterprising businesses,
which apparently is being re
ceived graciously by many
people. "Cable" has plenty of
commercials, but they blend
into the general program
without giving the urge of
wanting to turn it off.
Another similar station is
KXA in Seattle which can be
enjoyed by the residents of
the Puget Sound area. For
those of us who like this type
of music it is unfortunate that
we cannot get good reception
of these stations. We wonder
what reaction a local station
would get by somewhat fol
lowing the example of
Cable". Would a favorable
poll encourage one of the sta
tions to try a "test run"?

Social Security
To the Editor: An article in
your paper Sunday regarded
a Social Security tax increase,
starting with the year of 1960,
which is no doubt very necessary.
I have been covered by So
cial Security almost 19 years,
and during month of June,
1956, I had the misfortune of
becoming not only unemploy
able but totally and perman
ently disabled, and declared
so by two of the finest doctors
in the state.
I have furnished the Social
Security Administration with
this evidence many times, and
have been denied even a tem
porary freeze on my earnings,
much less the benefits I am
entitled to.
If some types of pension be
ing carried on by industries,
life insurance companies or
labor unions practiced this
same method that I have to
face, it would be declared a
graft. This is happening and
by a department of the gov
ernment of the finest country
in the world. You call it what
you like.

Soviet system.
Both the American ICBM
already in production, the At
las, and the next to be pro
duced, the Titan, are design
ed to be fired from fixed pads.
The launching pads them
selves are huge and costly in
stallations, which add heavily
to the expense of the missile
program. The first three At
las squadrons will also be
"soft" and the next five
squadrons will be "semi-soft
-meaning that an enemy mis
sile falling almost anywhere
in the vicinity will destroy
one of our missiles or its
launching pad.
TY DIGGING huge concrete
" pits for the launching pads.
the squadrons to be activated
after mid-1962 will be "hard
ened" - meaning that the de
struction of any ICBM in these
squadrons will cost the ene
my a considerable number of
ICBM's. "Hardening" is of
the ulmost importance, since
it multiplies the enemy's min
imum requirement of mis
siles for a first strike by a
factor of much more than ten.
But the hardened" squad
rons, like the "soft" or "semi
soft" squadrons will still have
to fire from costly fixed po
sitions.
Until the solid - fuelled
"Minuteman" missile comes
into production, the U.S. will
have no transportable ICBM.
Until a date at least four or
five years ahead, therefore,
the Kremlin will know just
where to find all the nerve
centers of American ICBM
strength. With this knowl
edge, if the Soviets build
enough missiles for the job,
they can hope to destroy the
whole panoply of American
ICBMs in a single surprise attack.
Government Wins
Guatemala Election
Guatemala City OIPD Nearly-complete
returns from Sun
day's congressional election
recorded a sweeping victory
for the government today,
doubling its strength in the
national legislature.
The electoral court said the
official party of National Re
demption, overcoming the
leftist opposition's early lead,
won 20 of the 33 seats at stake
in the election. The leftist
Revolutionary party took sev
en, and the other six were di
vided two, two and two
among lesser parties.
The court said the returns
not yet in "will have no ap
preciable effect on the result."
TN CONTRAST, if the Soviet
-ICBMs and their launching
pads are indeed transportable,
the planners in the Pentagon
can never know precisely
where they are. Like our own
ICBMs, to be sure, the Soviet
model now in production is
thought to be liquid-fuelled
(although there are minority
doubts, even about this). . If
liquid - fuelled, the Soviet
ICBMs can hardly be fired
from positions too distant
from a rail line. But they can
nonetheless be fired from any
point where the far-spreading
Soviet rail net can carry the
special flatcars for the missiles
and launching pads, the spec
ial tank cars for fuel and the
like.
The first rule of the mis
sile balance is that you can
not attempt a first strike, un
less you can be sure that your
first strike will cripple or pre
vent the other side's .counter-
strike. Otherwise, your first
strike is simply the first stage
in a suicide pact. Equally, you
cannot hope to cripple or pre
vent the other side's counter-
strike, if you do not know
where the other side's strik
ing power is emplaced. If the
Pentagon planners only know
that the Soviet ICBMs must be
somewhere close to the Soviet
rail net, this is not good
enough to permit a first strike
Hence the assumption that
the Soviet ICBMs are trans
portable puts a much darked
color on a picture that was al
ready quite dark enough. To
be sure, the President has re
peatedly proclaimed, at his
press conferences, that a Dem
ocratic society can never
strike the first blow in an H
bomb war. Thus it is tempt
ing to argue that the trans
portability of Soviet ICBMs
hardly matters.
YET it does matter, and
quite enormously, for two
reasons.
On the one hand, a trans
portable ICBM is harder to
build and, by any imaginable
test, operationally superior to
an ICBM that must be fired
from a fixed launching pad.
Thus the assumed transport
ability of the Soviet missiles!
further emphasizes the Soviet
lead in missile development.
On the other hand, there is
all the difference in the world
between the President telling
Khrushchev and Company,
that they are immune to sur
prise attack by the West's nu
clear power; and Khrushchev
and Company knowing they
are immune to surprise at
tacks because their own nu
clear power is beyond the
West's reach.
All the President's assur
ances could never eliminate
a lingering-deterrent doubt.
But if this doubt is automatic
ally eliminated by the char
acter of the Soviet ICBMs, the
West's deterrent will be ser
iously weakened, both strate
gically and politically.
