ft i Medford TRIBUNE 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1960 Pages 1-6 US. Mas Stronger ADDSes To Face Stronger Enemy Than 10 Years Ago Washington - (UPD - The Uni ted States closed out a decade of diplomacy facing a more powerful potential enemy than 10 years ago but with significantly stronger allies at its side. The role of the United States itself as leader of the Free World changed little. But the 10 years found this country no longer the sole possessor of meaningful mili tary, economic and political power in the West, They also have found the power and prestige of the Soviet Union greatly enhanc ed relative to the United States. And the Soviet's Asian ally, the government of Red China, has consolidated its grip, trying with varying de grees of success to extend its influence in the Far East. The U.S.-Soviet relationship has changed radically in 10 years not so much because of any change in American policy but because of Soviet tactics altered after the death of Premier Joseph Stalin in 1953. Rely on Capacity American policy for count ering the Soviet threat has been to continue to rely on its nuclear striking capacity to destroy the Soviet Union if Russia attacks the West. But the Soviets have chang ed their policy, and the change recalls the Aesop fable about the argument between the wind and the sun over which could get the man to take off his coat. The more the wind tried to blow it off, the tighter the nian clutched it around him. But the warm rays of the sun soon had him shedding the cloak of his own accord. Stalin's cold war led to Western formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization in Europe as well as other U.S. defensive al liances, the re-arming of West Germany and the develop ment of military forces throughout the world -toHstemKning -to". accept capital in- Communist aggression. Premier Nikita Khrushchev has dropped the cold war as a major weapon and has con centrated on a massive peace crusade in an apparent effort to get the West to drop its guard. Various Forms This has taken various forms agreement to extens ive official, cultural and scien tific exchanges, good - will trips to all parts of the world, willingness at least to talk about a workable control sys tem for policing a nuclear test ban and a constant propa ganda campaign for disarma ment. The United States has ap peared at times to be lagging behind the Soviet Union in the peace propaganda field because of its insistence on adequate controls for any dis armament proposal. However, the recent emer gence of President Eisenhow er as a global campaigner for peace has given the U.S. propaganda effort a new look. What its lasting effect will be remains to be seen. The decade just ending also found the United States losing its clear claim to world lead ership in the field of technol ogy. The Soviets' ability to build a powerful rocket boost er before the United States gave it a jump in the race for space and development of an intercontinental missile that this country has yet to over come. The Soviets have skillfully used this advantage to impress the dozens of underdeveloped nations of the world that the Communist road to progress is faster than the Western road. No one knows yet how well they will succeed in these now democratically - oriented nations. The Soviet threat is eco nomic as well as military and political. Not only is the Rus sian economy growing at a faster rate than this country's, but the U.S.S.R. is able to of fer assistance to many nations The United States, fearful of the political subversion that has followed such Soviet efforts in many places, has felt that it must continue its own programs in all parts of the world and not let Russia win by default. Thanks in great part to mas sive post-war U.S. economic aid, this country has econo mically and militarily strong Allies in Western Europe. But this increased strength has brought increased inde pendence from Washington in these countries. The U.S. is still the Western leader. But no longer do State Depart m e n t views automatically mean Western views. There is constant, and sometimes hard, bargaining among the major Western Allies before a common position is formed. vestment from East or West. any country, Slate Tax Office Hours Are Noted The Medford office of the Oregon state tax commission will assist taxpayers in pre paring their 1959 tax forms, O.

Main MEDFORD (2 (5) The new rise of Charles de Gaulle as the savior of French democracy and his close work ing alliance with West Ger man Chancellor Konrad Ad enauer in the past year has given Western Europe a new anchor. The recent economic and political ties on the con tinent have forced the United States to re-evaluate its re lationship with the entire area. This country wants increas ingly prosperous Western Europe to take over more of the burden of providing free world economic and military strength. But it realizes that this will involve agreeing to more and more of Western Europe's view on how this strength shall be used. There is, however, probably as much real unity now among the Western Allies as there was 10 years ago. This is unity forged through such trials as the Korean War, the birth pangs of NATO and the recognition that the nations of the Free World must stay to gether or fall separately. The alliance has withstood such problems as the 1956 Suez crisis when England and France joined Israel in an abortive attempt to take over the canal that had just been nationalized by Egyptian Pre mier Gamal Abdul Nasser. The United States and the Soviet Union found them selves on the same side in the successful United Nations drive to end the fighting and return captured territory to Egypt. The dawn of a new decade finds the United States and the West still challenging the Soviet Union to prove its peace talk with deeds. To the West, this means agreeing on adequate inspection and con trols over a nuclear test ban and disarmament moves. Court Reverses Arrest Judgment Salem - (UPD - The State Su preme Court has reversed a $5,250 judgment recovered against a service station oper ator in Pendleton on an action of false arrest. Due to mistaken identity, the court said, James Glenn Aiken was arrested on a charge of passing a forged check. When Aiken appeared to answer the charge the person who cashed the check failed to identify him and he was then released. A suit follow ed against Shell company and ! O. L. Huey, charging negli gence. The court said the case con cerned only charges against a layman who asked for a war rant of arrest against "one James Aiken for whom he un questionably cashed a forged check." The court said the operator had no other duty other than to place the facts before a magistrate and to verify them under oath. It said the defendant was "under no duty to hunt up and inspect a photograph of the plaintiff or to make compari sons with his handwriting or to do anything with respect to any of the matters the plaintiff .claims to be negligent." Youth Arraigned for Negligent Homicide Pendleton (UPD Wallace Stanley Horsman, 20, has been arraigned in Circuit Court on a grand jury indictment charging negligent homicide in connection with a traffic death. Bail was set at $1,000. The charge grew out of the death last Sunday of Bobby Jones, 16, near Pilot Rock. He was killed when Horsman's car failed to negotiate a curve. $5 WORTH OF GROCERIES FOR ONLY See Groceteria Ad on Page 6 (M) ROEBUCK AND CO.
