COMIC ORIGINATOR DIES Bellows Falls, Vt. - (UPO Gene Carr, 78, originator of America's first four-panel black and .white comic-Strip, "I --"" Bountiful," died Wed lit ,' Labor Court Support , ; ... This newspaper's advocacy of federal courts to settle labor disputes apparently is not entirely a voice crying in the wilderness. Sen. George Smathers of Florida has made such a proposal, and it was the basis for a recent Gallup poll which found a majority of Americans in favor of it.- The poll showed that 59 per cent of those queried favored federal labor courts, 21 per cent opposed, and 20 per cent had no opinion, .v Members of unions and their families also approved, by a slimmer margin: 54 per cent fa voring, 30. per cent opposing, and 16 per cent with no opinion. - . ; The poll also indicated that many Americans are pessimistic about settlement of the steel strike within the 80-day "cooling off ' period, and that as the strike has progressed, more and more peo ple are disgusted with BOTH sides. E.A. Religious Freedom Up in Bend, the young editor-publisher of the Bulletin, Bob Chandler, seems to delight in get ting himself into hot water. - He knows, as a newspaperman who has been around, that few editorial subjects will raise the hackles on the backs of more necks-than flat statements concerning religion.. . Yet, with this knowledge, he had the forti tude (or the brass) to come out in an editorial the other day and condemn, in no uncertain terms, the current practice of saying grace before lunch at one of the elementary schools in the city. x AS A PREDICTABLE result, he has been taken to task by readers' of his papery whose ob jections he has scrupulously printed in the "let ters to the editor" column. . Most of them have, figuratively, nailed his hide'td the barn door for suggesting that the con stitutional separation of church and state extends to the saying of grace in a public school. The letters have come from ministers, from lay people, from the old and young. At last count, only twp (2) short letters have more or less sided with the editor. . . - , WE HAVE no wish - But we would like to is a highly personal matter. In America, everyone is free to practice his religion as he sees fit or to practice none at all. ..There are good Amencan citizens of every faith and of one. (Nearly half of our people the largest single group have no church af filiation, some by default, some by choice.) There are Protestants in scores of denominations (in cluding Episcopalians, who consider themselves both Protestant and Catholic), Roman Catholics, Greek and Orthodox Catholics, Coptic Christians, Mohammedians, Buddists Confucianists, Jews (at well as agnostics and atheists. - This diversity is a splendid thing if some what confusing. It is a testimony to America's freedom of choice in matters of religion. And any coercion, be it ever so small even so small as savin? a simple grace at a public school luncheon tends to detract from this freedom of choice in religion. Or so thinks Bob Chandler. E.A. Esperanto Esperanto, the "artificial" universal lan guage, has hardly shaken the world. Yet it has a way of hanging around, and growing slowly in popularity. It has been some 70 years since it was first devised. It has not, of course, been adopted as an "auxiliary" language by any nation, nor has it swept into the public schools. But, increasingly, and more than any of the other so-called "interlanguages," it is widening in popularity and influence. - THERE is much to be said in behalf of a uni versal tongue for this, babbling world, which speaks in hundreds vOf differing, languages and dialects. ' - In a world where communication is virtually instantaneous, where international conferences and meetings are becoming more and more fre quent, and where tourists are visiting every nook and cranny of the world, the language barrier is a real one. No nation is going to accept the language of any other nation as an official second tongue. (Can't you just imagine what the Daughters of the American Revolution would say if it were seriously proposed that Russian, say, or even French, were proposed as an "official" second language for the United States?) - A' "NEUTRAL" and Tvnnli f r nnmmnri oldest and most widely accepted, would come pretty close to filling the bill. ' -It is fairly simple to learn, has only 16 rules, and permits a wide flexibility of .expression. It is based largely on root-words derived from the Indo-European tongues. It already has. its own literature and specialized vocabularies. If the day ever comes when it becomes the "second language" of all peoples, either official ly, or by common consent, the peoples of the world will be that much closer to a common un derstanding. And, for "common understanding," one can read "peace."

The fact was v noi iiuiy ac ; knowledged , 1 by the partic- gggi ipants in the rtynnri men on1 richly enter training Dem ocratic raUy that has just taken place Joseph aisup here; but the fact sticks out a mile, none the less. The tide that has altered everything is simply the ris ing tide of Republican voter support. The ground swell began last summer. By au tumn, after the President's European tour and the Khru shchev visit, the former Dem ocratic expectation of certain victory had been thoroughly undermined. The President's latest tour may be only "a performance and not a policy," as a guar- anteed-impartial observer has remarked. But this new show can be counted on to keep the Republican tide running. Unless Nikita S. Khrushchev disappoints all Republican ex pectations, the summit meet ing in the spring will also help the President's ' party. : Then there is the grisly prospect that the first summit in April or May will lead on to a sec ond summit in October, on the very eve of the election. IT DOES not matter much that the so-called "peace issue" is probably as phoney as a three-dollar bill, as most expert international analysts believe. From the standpoint of domestic politics, what matters is the simple fact that this peace issue has magically revived the Republican par ty's drooping fortunes. So much was admitted by every practical politician who gathered here for the monster dinner for Mrs. Roosevelt on Monday. Yet very few of those present wanted to admit the real meaning of the Republi can revival, mainly because they aU had their own axes to grind and were too busy to think about anything else. None the less, the meaning is obvious.- Unless there is a new Re publican slump, the Demo crats are bound to decide in the end that they can no longer afford to pick a candi date just to suit their own tastes. The voters' presumed tastes are bound to be the main consideration. In short, when the party convention finally gathers at Los Angeles, the question generally asked will not be: "Is he a liberal?" It will not be: "Is he a Cath olic?" Most certainly it will not be: "Will he make a good President?" It will be, quite bluntly, "Can he possibly win?" , AS OF NOW (with strongest emphasis on that "now") this clearly benefits Sen. John F. Kennedy more than anyone else. To be sure, this is a minority view as yet. In fact it is currently fashionable to say that Kennedy has been "finished" by the birth control controversy. - In reality, his stand has been handsomely endorsed by Mrs. Roosevelt. It has been quite outdone by the much stricter stand taken by President Eisenhower. This talk of Kennedy being "fin ished" is nonesense, although Kennedy's Catholicism will no doubt be a handicap, on bal ance, at Los Angeles. Despite this handicap, Ken nedy looks like being the chief beneficiary of the change in the Democratic situation and for a simple reason. As "of now, he seems to have much stronger voter - support than any other Democratic con tender: A recent careful poll taken in Ohio, for instance, showed Kennedy beating Vice ii bulk? Mb w saav arb By Joseph AIsop President Richard " M. Nixon in that state, though only by a hair. And it showed Ken nedy leading New York's Gov. Nelson D. Rockefeller with 58 per cent of the Ohio ans polled. The same Ohio poll also showed Nixon defeating Adlai Stevenson by a 60-40 margin, and trouncing Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri by an even larger majority. Rocke feller also led Stevenson and Symington, though more nar rowly. The poll in question is automatically suspect, be cause it was taken to gauge Kennedy's chances in an Ohio Democratic primary. But this reporter believes the Ohio re sults have not been tinkered with, if only because they ac cord very closely with the findings of the inquiring Dr. Gallup and . other pollsters. All who have taken soundings have found Kennedy with sub- stantiaUy more strength than any other Democrat. Fi ANY case, the validity of individual current polling results has no bearing on the central point. The Ohio poll merely symbolizes this point. The point is. that Kennedy's rivals will have to gain much ground against him in the months ahead, unless they want the Massachusetts Sena tor to reach Los Angeles as an odds-on favorite. Maybe they will gain while Kennedy drops back. Maybe Kennedy's strategy of proving his voter- support in the more important pre-convention primaries will end in. humiliating failure. But unless all .the many opinion tests are even phonier than the peace issue, the new urgency of the Democratic need for a vote-getting candi date is going to help Kennedy As of now (and again, remem ber that "now") the pressure of this need clearly endangers all the complex schemes for securing convention dead locks, opening the way for compromise candidates, and the like, (e) 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Four Pictures on New Phone Books "Oregon Land of Contrasts" is the theme Pacific Tele phone has chosen for the Med ford telephone directory cover in 1960, according to Manager J. H. Creager. . The I960 telephone book covers will feature four color pictures of Oregon's scenic beauty. Mt. Hood, Crater Lake, the Oregon coast and a wheat field were selected to portray the state's variety. Covers on Pacific Tele phone directories for 1960 for all other Oregon communi ties will feature the same col or pictures. More than 37,800 copies of Oregon telephone books will be distributed for use throughout the United States and Canada. "The colorful treatment of the directory cover will act as a continual reminder to Oregonians of our state's many attractions," Creager said. "The pictures will also tell thousands of potential tourists of the' unlimited beau ty of Oregon." Medford's 1960 directory will start arriving in April."

Also injured in the acci dent was Peter F. O'Neill, 50, Portland, president of O'Neill Transfer Co., who was in an other car. His condition, first described as critical, later was said to be satisfactory. Driver of the third car, Alfred New ell, 39, was not injured. Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the, writer. although under certain circumstances for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words' The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Anonymous Criticism To the Editor: No'- that you have made an issue of the anonymous letter which ap pears to be critical of Dr. Mayfield's articles on Russia, I think you' should publish it for further comments by in terested readers of your edi torials. From the description of the letter, it appears that it may reflect the thoughts of many persons who have followed the good Dr.'s articles. In case it does, should you not be aware of the general feeling, in this area, regarding a vital issue of this nature? William Doernbach 143 Mace rd. Medford Editor's note: If correspon dents wish to be critical, let them sign their names and be responsible for the criticism.

Let's Look Up To the Editor: A day or so ago Patsy (my 4-year-old girl) and I were rolling down "66" on the Green Springs moun tain. In an endeavor to get our minds off the clouds of oil smoke that the old pickup was producing, -we turned on the radio. (Might say here we weren't burning fuel toil, it was only one of the many ways "old faithful" was let ting me know she'd gone over 99,000 miles.) At any rate, we . ran into trouble with the radio. For some reason or other any where we tuned the dial all we could get was a lot of sounds that almost made "old faithful" go over the guard rail. No, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the radio. We could hear dif ferent announcers voices very plainly. Patsy kept saying, "Daddy turn that nasty music off." I'd then try another station ana mere again, possibly in a different key, but bing, bong, crash, "bang and what have you. Why if I'd tried to make my body move to the tempo of that so-called music, Patsy would either have had to try and convince a police officer her daddy wasn't drunk, or we might have both taken a short cut to the morgue. Frankly, what has gone wrong with . us Americans when it comes to music? As for radio and TV listening, we have been forced almost to quit listening. Oh, sure, there is some good music on Sunday and scattered in be tween. However to secure it, it's like going to the garbage pail, rooting down through the waste to find a pie that the wife accidently heaved out. Your hands get stained. I fear our youth, and older ones, too, are finding their minds getting rather stained. I wonder what Heavenly be ings think of our modem age? Are we going to continue to let ourselves be led on paths that lead down? Lets look up, what do you say? Henry Johnson, Jr. 2400 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Apes and Hammers To the Editor: In regard to the "music" controversy. I was certain in the begin ning that I was definitely not in a minority and I do believe that if the Mail Tribune -were to conduct a poll (I would not be willing to accept the" find ings of a poll conducted by the radio stations of the Rogue valley because if they are willing to rig the list of most popular records, they'd also be willing to rig the results of "said poll and I'm certain such has been the case), we would find .that only a very few people really like the type of "music" available on Rogue vailey stations. I liked the idea of Louise Rea, of calling the station when something is played that pleases the listener. (I don't think they'U get many calls from outlying areas because of the toll charges.) Any ape with a hammer and an old wash tub could make better "music" than we can get on Rogue valley stations. (I personally think no ape could be dumb enough to ham mer on the. tub like the Disc Y the use of a pen name or initial Jockeys on our stations play then, rock 'n roll.) I do wis I could get the Seattle, Wash., station, KING, which was mentioned in "Editorial Comment" column and attributed to the Chicago Sun-Times. I "second the motion" of Mr. Robert H. Cook of Ash land. I first heard "My Bonnie Lassie" played on a bagpipe on a Canadian station, and it really was good. Floyd R. McCabe Butte Falls, Ore. Stamps for Children To the Editor: It seems not to be generally known that by saving cancelled stamps of certain types one can provide milk for hungry children in other lands. The Oregon council of churches imitated this project some time ago. The stamps collected are sold to a whole sale dealer and the funds thus acquired go to purchase sur plus milk from the govern ment stock pile. Because of very favorable rates, 100 stamps will purchase 00 cups of. milk for distribution abroad. - With the coming of the Christmas season when we all have an impulse toward shar ing and when every mail box bulges with greeting cards, it seems an opportune time to call attention to this worthy project, and to -urge everyone to participate. Stamps desired are all U.S. commemorative issues that is, all stamps which com memorate some special event or person; all regular U.S. is sues of denominations larger than the usual 4-cent stamp and the usual 7 cent air mail stamp; aU foreign stamps of whatever type or value. It is preferable that the entire face of the envelope be saved, or at least that portion which in cludes the stamp and the post mark. These should be sent to the Oregon Council of Churches, 212 Fitzpatrick Bldg., 917 S. W. Oak St., Portland 5, Ore., or they may" be given to Mrs. Everett Faber of the Medford Council of United Church- women. Grace N. Pearson, Route 2, Box 50 Jacksonville, Ore. c.:.M f Tumblaweed To the Editor: I came from the country of the Russian u:.i lrnmim as tumble- weeds when matured. After the harvest in wesiern buu Dakota, the stubbles would be covered with a dark green ve vnnurn ns rtoor man s hay or Russian thisUes. The farmer would cui, " salt it for his livestock. If fed alone, it was, as we used to say, quite warn. vsH manv a farm- wecu "M " .,. er from selling his last milk cow. These thisUes must be cut before they formed sharp stickers because me would then refuse them. I have seen western farm ers come to the auction sale with his last few head because i - nf Russian thistle hay. I can stiU remember the farmer telling me of his har vest, selling oats at 9 cents, barley at 13 cents and piling his wheat on the ground at 21 cents a bushel. And then he had to sell down to only two cows, when ordinarily he milked 10 or 12. He said "We just have to eat slimmer. TViio ic -mtViw T had to Dut a good word in for tumble weeds, because it used to be my friend, except on windy days when tney wouia ime Ui. hum for miles, and then would roll over the fence lines as if playing a game. Leo A. Rifenbark 1131 Pinecroft Ave. Medford Salesmen's Rolt Tn the Editor: So, one of our distinguished (?) politi cians believes" that President Eisenhower is lowering him self into the roU of a sales man? Now that's too bad, be cause maybe the old boy will amount to something yet. Everyone has heard jokes about the traveling salesman, and probably no one enjoys them more than the salesman: However, few people seem to realize the significance or im portance of salesmen in to day's world (or yesterday's, for that matter). The United States of Amer ica can truthfully be called the "head of the world." Just as truthfully, the salesmen can be called the "back bone." We are inclined to take for granted all these' new things in every line of our life, be it tfrocerv. hardware. aDDliance. drugs, soap, automobiles or even baby powder. Now who do you suppose gets these things to your dealers' shelv es? Who gets them in your home? Who explains to doc tors, crw drvgs? Their use? Who sold you that new home or auto you have? I wonder why that grocer put in new foods when the old ones were selling alright? Every day new and improv ed . things are making their way into our homes, until to day we have achieved . the highest standard of living ev er achieved from the begin ning of time! . I suggest you show that salesman a little respect. His job isn't easy, (although to a salesman it is the most satis fying on earth). Be they retail salesmen, wholesale salesmen, direct line salesmen or even fellows on TV, they are con sistently making things better for you. . I say "Go to It, 'Ike'." You may amount to something yet, and maybe some day you too, will fit into the "backbone" and help hold the "head of the world" high. Arthur E. Tropple 417Lynwood Ave. Medford Is the Lost Found? To the Editor: After read ing the Dec. 7 issue of the Register-Guard, which had an editorial which mentioned yours on the Whooping Crane, I recall that about last Friday, Dec. 4, on my farm about 10 miles due north of Eugene, I heard a weird sound or whoop at about 15 or 20 second inter vals.. I looked up and saw a real large bird flying south slow and rather awkwardly. It looked white and was from 700 to 1000 feet high. I wonder now if it could have been your lost and 34th Whooping Crane. The poor fellow sounded as if he was lost. ' A. W. Tyler Route 2, Bo 458 - Eugene, Ore. "Nerve Wrackr lo tne: Edito-V -ave ex -r -av( pressed my opinion of radio music oh local stations sev eral times to the stations themselves and felt it would do no good to express it in a letter to the paper (being in some agreement with Mr. Al len about the futility'of this!). - Howeverj since ' so ; many others are ; expressing their opinions 'at this time,- I felt I could not resist adding my hearty agreement to those who feel completely disgust ed with the sort of music we hear every time we turn the radio on. For this reason, our radio too stands silent and useless. The only exception that I have been able to find is on KBOY FM which on Sunday night does give us a real treat, and from time to time during the week they also give us a brief respite from the steady stream of- nerve wracking junk. My teen age boys do like the sort of music that is currently played. But they are only home a few hours of the day to listen, while it is poured out from sign-on till sign-off. And even more important, they are not the purchasing agents for this family. As most business men should be aware, women spend the big gest share of money in Ameri can families, and the sort of music I hear every time the radio is turned on by some one else in this family so an tagonizes me, that, if any thing, it would make me want to deliberately boycott the sponsor. I wouldn't object to a var ied program, since I freely ad mit that there are all sorts of tastes and everyone is entitled to his own tastes. But that is exactly the reason why I feel that I too ought to be entitled to my tastes, and I surely feel that they are not being con-1 servmc inn dripc a vbiiiivs. nils i iiih J v IM DAI AkircU 1 1 inLnnvi.'

I surely wish that music of the sort one of your readers described on KABL could be available around here-some-thing sweet, smooth and pret ty, semi-classical and old something to make you feel t little bit better instead of like tearing your hair out; I think it is high time the local radio stations took a real poll around the valley and made a genuine effort to see just how all the people feel about this, not just any one isolated group. 1 couldn't tell you how many people I have discussed this with who all feel the same way. Marie Ottosen Route 1, Box 251 Eagle Point, Ore. She's Happyl To the Editor: May I say a word in defense of the local radio stations? Or would I be in too much of a minority? ' I like Medford radio sta tions, I like Medford, Jack sonville, the Rogue valley, Jackson county, Josephine county . . . the whole ' of beautiful southern Oregon. , And I'm not a native Oregon- ian. We are fairly new resi- t, dents here. I'm wondering if some of the people who are , so unhappy with the radio stations' and their music are newer residents than we, and there is a possibility this won derful valley has not had time to work its magic with them as it did with me. , We came here approximate- ly ten months ago from a busy, congested area, I had a i chip on my shoulder and felt pretty much like they taid ) Adolph Hitler did at one time . . . I was just giving the rest of the world 24 hours to get out. But the beauty of the spring time began unfolding, there was blessed peace, and quiet; wonderful, friendly neighbors, and the world be gan to look like not such a bad place. There followed a glorious summer with fishin and swimmin', picnic outings with new friends and visits from the Southland from en vious friends and relatives. And when the . countryside began taking on its autura colors we almost went mad with the wonder of it alL Each and every business and professional personality we have had occasion to con tact has been most kind and considerate. They're all hon-est-to-goodness, down-to-earth "good joes." And what has all this to do with the local radio stations? Well, they're just another part of this enchanted valley. And as I said before, I like ALL of it. Who needs the Bay ,V Area stations? What's the I matter with KYJC for ins- f tance? Their news coverage j' is good, both local and nation al, they carry the CBS broad casts and a few from the ABC network. I find the friendly, homey attitude -of their" an nouncers very enjoyable. And I j they play a pretty good selec- ; , tion of recorded mosic. I can't say I care too much for soap j operas, but there aren't many of them.
