End of A Decade
Frantic, they called them, and frightened
and fabulous, those fifties which end at mid
night Thursday. There were other alliterative
designations, of course, depending on the critic's
perspective. With somewhat less dramatic ef
fect, this middle decade of the Twentieth Cen
tury might best be defined as expansive. .
It was the decade which ushered into being
the Space Age, the era of missiles and rockets
and jets. It embraced a revolution in weaponry
on land and in the air, and in the sea it launched
the American nuclear submarines and the Soviet
nuclear ice-breaker. It also saw the first and
peaceful use of nuclear power plants. .-
In international affairs the great events and
processes of the past decade would have to in
clude the halting of Communist expansion in
Korea, where the greatest undeclared war of his
tory was fought, and the rise of Red China as a
first-class power. Stalin died and Russia turned
to economic competition with the West for its
rationale. The end of the era saw the seeds of
future trouble for the Chinese Communists in the
difficulties of the communes and the disaffection
of India.
I
T WAS a time of fabulous recovery for Ger
many, Japan, and Italy. And it ushered in the
beginning of European unification.
It was a decade which saw in Latin America
and Southeast Asia the traditional palace revolu
tion of military coup being replaced by revolu
tions of people demanding more of the world's
goods and the world's respect. It watched a new
Jewish national state consolidate its power, and
it saw the Western Allies separated and plunged
into confusion by the Anglo-French intervention
at Suez. With the death of John Foster Dulles it
witnessed introduction of a new flexibility in
TJ. S. attitudes toward Russia.
It was an era of great personal diplomacy,
even though summit conferences, except for one,
were talked about rather than held. And it end
ed in two feats that would have been unpredicta
ble 10 years ago, Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the
United States and President Eisenhower's recent

generals ran out twice elected a military hero
to its highest office, though twice, in 1956 and
1958, denying his party control of Congress.
The decade brought the amalgamation of the
American Federation of Labor and the Congress
of Industrial Organization. It also saw a growing
disenchantment with corruption in union leader
ship, particularly as personified by Dave Beck
and Jimmy Hoffa, and the first post Taft-Hartley
legislation of any consequence repressive on
labor. And it witnessed a gradual hardening of
labor-management bargaining and a controversy
over union work rules and inflation climaxing in
the longest steel strike since World War n.

suburbs was on and the shopping center bloomed

progress in race relations. At the same time we
were awakened by the loss of face over Sputnik

Glad Tidings
IT'S NOT only the lull in the Cold War that
makes this holiday season one of the merriest
in recent memory. Estimates of peak prosperity
at least for the first six months of the New Year
which begins Friday continue to pile up.
An industry poll of retailers puts business
volume for the first four months of 1960 at 6
per cent above the like 1959 period. Steel produc
tion is hitting an all time high, at about 2.7 mil
lion ingot tons a week, and the reopening of
many plants shut down for lack of steel is boost
ing employment powerfully.
THE Commerce Department asserts that auto
production in 1960 will soar to 6.7 million
units. That would be 22 per cent higher than
1959 making next year the second best car year
Of all.
Christmas club checks, employer bonuses,
corporation dividends are pouring into the econ
omy perhaps the biggest year-end flow of hard
cash ever. And instalment buying keeps up with
the pace of cash buying. It's a trifle hard to
realize that only two years ago, with the economy
beginning to slide, and with Sputnik I a blow to
our national morale, the economic soothsavers
were predicting a very rough New Year indeed.

Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer,
although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial
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

On Beauty
, To the Editor: The theme
for Medford all of 1959 was
Make Medford Beautiful. But
what of 1960? With the cen
tennial year behind us, it
seems the park commission is
going the opposite direction.
Their choice of location for
the Old Medco engine is poor.
Why can't they improve the
view by moving the train
either back a few feet or put-,
ting it further on Clark st.
The location it is in is def
intely an eye sore. Ask any
one. I ssk of you people of Med
ford, how many would care
for an 18 century train in
front of your house. If the
park is to have it why not
locate it in a different place?
It does not improve . the
beauty of the park. And the
view of property owners on
McAndrews is not pretty, or
win they every be able to en
joy the beauty of the park
as it can't been seen.
Let us hear from' others on'
this. But please Mr. parks
commissioner, move your
train.

Music and Tapes
To the Editor: The Dec. 10
Mail Tribune carried a letter
I had written to the com
munications column. When I
wrote it I was unaware that
controversy was in progress
over radio station music. My
letter was the result of feel
ings I have harbored for a
long time.
It was quite a surprise to
find "company". A Mr. or
Mrs. name on file in Jack
sonville wrote a letter which
I am in agreement with for
the greater part. This may
sound funny as he or she
took the defense side. .
It isn't just newcomers who
object to certain types
of so called music. We've
lived in the Rogue valley for
over 26 years. There are many
of my friends who have lived
here much longer who just
don't turn on their radios
hardly at all anymore. The
writer from Jacksonville has
given us some good advice.
If we would get out and
open our eyes to the beautiful
country around us we'd find
much to enjoy. Our area is
almost all like a park.
Our merciful Creator has
given Us much for which to
be thankful. Actually my
heart goes out to the ones
who confine in themselves
voluntarily and partake of
what comes to them over the
air waves. They are robbing,
themselves and setting poor
examples for their children.
Our editor stated he had
made a startling discovery. A
button on his radio that you
turn left is his suggestion to
the problem. We found this
button quite some time ago.
I will say that I feel a bit
sorry for my shut in friends.
We have had a lot of enjoy
ment ourselves in using our
two tape recorders to bring
cheer to many of these. I
have come into possession of
many tapes which we value
highly. We love to share them
with our friends. Our friend
Floyd McCabe who wrote
wrote about "Apes and Wash
tubs" would I believe enjoy
hearing some of our collec
tion. If you care, feel free to
call or write me. We have no
ax to grind. There is no
charge. I have a blind friend
north of Medford who has
really been enjoying these
tapes. It's an enjoyable hob
by, even though I'm dubbed a
"tape hound."

Bear Hunter
To the Editor:
A lost mine
short story in January-February
issue of True West maga
gine, by Tom Baily, formerly
of Grants Pass, telling about
the' Lost Badger mine in a
natural cave in the hillside of
Josephine county, reminds me
of an old bear hunter who
lived at Woodville some 45
years ago.
This' bear hunter was not a
giant in stature, in fact, he
was rather of a wiry medium
built, although he had plenty
of stamina and a nerve of
steel. He would always re
iterate that when he entered
a darkened cave in pursuit pf
a bruin he would first light
a miner's candle before pro
ceeding to chase the bear out
side, as most animals have a
fear of fire.
This old "mountain man"
left the Rogue valley after a
shortage of bears and moved
over on the coast, where he
spent his remaining years fol
lowing his much exciting and
remunerative pursuit.

he spent 58 days recovering
from wounds in the right
hand and upper left shoulder,
suffered in an attack on him
last Oct. 7.
The president of the court
has promised the trial will be
conducted only in the inter
ests of right, justice, equity
and the interests of the peo
ple. This correspondent was in
Baghdad last March at the
time of the abortive Mosul
revolt against Kassem and at
a time when the people's
courts were going full blast
against other "enemies of the
state."
Most of these now languish
in jails or await the firing
squad. 1
President, Kassem's Cousin
The president of the court
is Col. Fadhil Abbas Mahdawi,
a cousin of Kassem, who is
outspoken in his hatred of the
West and who made a special
trip back from a visit to Red
China to conduct the current
trial.
He is a stern-visaged man
with greying crew - cut hair
who in long speeches from
the bench leaves no doubt
about his certainty of each
defendant's guilt even before
the evidence is heard.
It is a comparatively in
formal court m which even
spectators may rise to deliver
long-winded speeches provid
ing their subject matter is
acceptable politically.
The defendants also deliver
impassioned speeches, but it
is with an obvious sense that
they 'are foredoomed, that
only a miracle will set them
tree and the . best they can
hope for is to escape the fir
ing squad.
Evidence frequently is no
better than hearsay.

Interesting question:
Why did Mr. Nelson Rocke
feller withdraw from the con
test for the Republican nom
ination for President?
This is the reason he gave:
"The great majority of
those who will control the
Republican nomination stand
opposed TO ANY CONTEST
for the presidential nomina
tion." Those are HIS OWN words.
The Democratic hopefuls
have chosen to interpret
them as meaning that the del
egates to the Republican na
tional convention will be
hard-boiled standpatters who
wouldn't accept a nominee
of Mr. Rockefeller's type. Mr.
Adlai Stevenson says: "He
(Mr. Rockefeller) often seems
like a thoughtful and sincere
liberal, and for the sake of
the country I regret that his
views found so little encour
agement in his party."
Senator Lyndon Johnson
says: "I am not surprised. It
has been obvious for some
time that there is no place
in the national Republican
party for the able and pro
gressive governor." Califor
nia's Governor Brown says:
"The Republican party
turned deaf ears to a newer
Portland Couple
Protests Tax Claim
Portland (OPD A former
Republican national chairman
and his wife, who now reside
in Portland, are contesting
government claims they owe
$20,461 in income taxes.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison E,
Spangler are contesting the
claim. Spangler, an attorney,
is former GOP committeeman
from Iowa and was national
chairman of the party from
1942 to 1944.
Spangler said the Internal
Revenue Bureau erred in
holding that 58,415 paid as
attorney fees was a capital
loss and not an allowable de
duction.
The returns were filed in
Des Moines, Iowa. The amount
was paid in 1952 and 1953.
The government also claims
they owe $17,117 in back
taxes for 1955 and 1956.
A hearing was held over on
Spangler's request. No new
hearing date has been set.

Vice-President Nixon. The
conservatives are in complete

Those are politically slant
ed statements, coming from
men who hope to be the Dem
ocratic nominee. They are
dictated by the HOPE of dis
crediting the Republican par
ty, and thus making more
certain the election a Demo
cratic President.
It is quite possible1 that Mr.
Rockefeller didn't mean it
that way. The words he chose
could have meant that in the
opinion of those who will be
chosen as delegates to the Re

Over long decades of our
history nominees for the vice
Presidency were chosen as a
kind of stalking horse-some-,
body who would look good to
the voters, with relatively lit
tle consideration of his quali
fications to be President.
Times are changing. The re
sponsibilities of the Presiden
cy are becoming so tremen
dous that it is becoming ob
vious to all of us that grave
considerations dictate the
need that nominees for the
Vice-Presidency ' measure up
to to the responsibilities of
the Presidency.
We are even coming to look
upon the Vice-Presidency as
a kind of APPRENTICE Pres
ident The burdens of the
Presidency are now such that
it is always possible that the
President may BREAK UN
DER THE STRAIN.
If that 6hould happen-and
it COULD happen-our sur
vival as a nation would hang
upon the ability and the ex
perience of the Vice-President.
It is generally recognized
thaj; Mr. Nixon's experience
in these years of strain and
stress and danger have quali
fied him to be the next Pres
ident of the United States.
That could be what Mr.
Rockefeller meant when he
gave as his reason for with
drawing from the contest his
belief that "the delegates to

will stand opposed to any

But with all the show trials

the conclusion that Kassem's

And he thought he recalled a
picnic en the lawn where he
said the other candidate didn't
appear to have hiked out
there solely to eat.
Robert Humphreys, cam
paign director for the Repub
lican National committee,
said he couldn't see any moral
or ethical objections to the
kind of filmed shows his par
ty put on last time.
"I didn't think some of
those five-minute productions
-theirs and ours-were lousy,"
he went on to admit. "People
don't want productions."
Politicians Can't Act
Anyway, said Humphreys,
who probably feels freer to
say these things because he's
quitting his job at the end of
the week, 99 out of 100 poli
ticians can't act. As actors, he
said, most politicians are
stinkers.
Sam Brightman isn't quit
ting his job as publicity direct- '
or for the Democratic Nation
al committee. So naturally he
didn't volunteer any agree
ment wtih those specific sen
timents. He did concur in
Humhreys' claim we're not
likely to buy a phony product
just because it's put up in a
fancy package.
"We'll be in trouble if we
ever turn politics over to mo
tivational research," said
Brightman. "This would be
political suicide. People
wouldn't befooledby any
thing that transparent."
Then there was talk about
what TV coverage does to the
national political conventions.
Humphreys said it helps bring
decisions out in the open, but
that it does create problems.
One is that half the delegates

this nation the bold, coura

national destiny.
