Two Kinds of Jury , There are two kinds of juries in the American legal system, grand juries and trial juries, and they are sometimes confused. ' They shouldn't be, for their functions are en tirely different. A grand jury's principal duty, as far as crim inal law is concerend, is to make a preliminary inquiry to determine, first, if a crime has been committed, and, second, to see if the evidence immediately available warrants holding a person for trial. If the evidence is such that there are reason able grounds to suspect the guilt of a particular person, the grand jury can issue a "true bill," which serves to indict the suspected individual. If not, a "not true bill" is issued, clearing the in dividual. - ATRIAL jury, on the other hand, has the task nf Vipnrino- detailed evidence, and ascertaininp; r.he cmilt. nr innocence of Even the methods used in their different tasks by the different kinds of The orand iurv meets tive informality. It follows no set rules of evi dence and trial procedure, and is virtually un limited in the nnestiona it can ask. Usuallv the only legal advice they . . . , , -i ji met attorney, ana tney can even dispense wim him. A trial jury, on the other hand, is bound by the very strict rules of evidence and trial pro cedure, has a judge trained in the law to guide it, and opposing lawyers to present the cases of both prosecution and defense. , TTHUS it can be seen that the grand jury is, in effect, a sort of "screening process" in crim inal matters and a strong: bulwark of freedom against the type of capricious indictment we now assc late with totalitarian countries. It deals not with guilt or innocence, but with probabilities. The trial inrv is a second bulwark of freedom. where guilt or innocence v -a m ance, under strict rules ol procedure. Neither is Derf ect. Neither guarantees that the innocent shall go free, or punished. And vet. between them, thev Guarantee Amer icans the assurance that leges, their guilt or innocence, will be weighed in scales as nearly perfect as imperfect men have yet been able to devise. E.A. Instructing Jurors Speaking of iuries, in many cases those serv ing on them are doing so It is a sort ox nervous experience iui . many such folk, for the responsibility of deciding guilt or innocence, or in assessing blame or damages, is a serious one. Some time ago, we suggested that the Oregon Bar association should take upon itself the prepa ration of a little booklet juries, to assist the "newcomers" to understand what are their duties and responsibilities. I TP IN Bend, the lawyers have done something about this problem, we leam from the Bend Bulletin. The Central Oregon erating with Circuit Judge pared a "Handbook for to all members of iuture The Bulletin savs it is and is a clear explanation of a juror's duties, dispelling the mystery hangs around some court procedures. 1EE Bulletin puts the problem this way: "An uninformed juror, or one who lets the evidence go in one ear and out the other during the course of trial, is a real danger to our system of justice. The jury trial demands jurors who know what they are doing, and who undertake the job with a real sense of responsibility ..." ! Our system of justice is predicated on the theory that every accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that each is en titled to a fair trial by a jury of his peers. Anything which detracts from this is a dis service to the national ideal. Anything which reinforces it . is greatly to be desired. E.A. Labor Statesmanship In a day when "gimme, gimme" sometimes seems to be the national watchword, it is refresh ing to find a group of people voluntarily giving up personal gain for the benetfit of those less fortunate. A New York local of the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers International Union has negotiated an agreement with employers which provides no increase in pay for better - paid workers. INSTEAD, the negoitators for the union agreed that pay increases should go only to those workers at the bottom of the pay scale most of them newiy-employed and many of them Puerto Ricans. . V The skilled workers, whose .wages range from $2.50 to $4 per hour agreed that the minimum pay should be brought up to $50 for a 35-hour week. , This is an example of labor statesmanship and consideration which does much to restore one's faith in organized labor, which has taken so many lumps recently.

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the ce. Well-Hello! To the Editor: Your news item in the Jan. 11 issue of your paper, as regards inten tions of county officials to file for reelection, I believe needs clarification for better public understanding so far as the case of Karl Janouch, county treasurer, is concern ed. Your paper stated (1) I de clined to state whether I would be a candidate, (2) My wife who serves as my assist ant, (3) said emphatically "No". Point by point, ; I wish to state: . (1) I did not decline to state, etc. I said, "I am working at it." (2). My wife is not my as sistant. My assistant is Mrs. Orpha Leschensky and my wife works at the office in termittently, when called, to enable usv (Mrs. Leschensky and myself) to complete work on schedule and as required by law. (3) My wife said "Hello" to your reporter, not "Hell no," I am . filing for reelection today. My reluctance to an nounce my intentions hereto fore was caused by personal peculiarities derived from the way I was "fetched up." I tried to avoid being No. 1 filer for reelection. " Jarl L.

To the Editor: May I just say thanks i to Mr. Henry Johnson Jr. for his nice letter in the Mail Tribune on the in terest of our dear little chil dren and young folks. Where are aU our good ministers and good church workers? Our dear old family Bible is only a deck of cards to most of the people now days. How can parents that love their homes and children go by the Holly theater and see all ' of those pictures? Many a dear young boy or girl may go behind prison bars over dirty shows and guns, and the parents are to blame for it. Emma Perkins, 115 Mistletoe st., ; Medford. . We Need a Cold Snap To the Editor and Readers of the Mail-Tribune: You have never heard from me through this medium, but it has dawned on me that' I have something to say touching on a subject that r have never seen referred, to in print. There is something needed in this western Oregon region; northern California also, . I suppose, though I . have not checked the matter there. It is definitely nothing that any of us .would enjoy, per sonally, but our oak trees cer tainly should. Brace your selves for a shock: ' What is needed is ten degrees below zero! In December, 1919, when ; it did get that cold, there was some damage done to certain shrubs and trees, but a lot of good was done, too." It killed aU .the mistle toe, and it was some ten years before it got reestablished noticeably. ' . The mistletoe, or perhaps I should say mistletoes, are a strange parasitic order , of plants. That species that in fests the oaks will hot grow on any -other tree. There is another species found only on junipers - observed in eastern Oregon; another on mesquite (n o t e d " in Arizona), and another on pine; The pine mistletoe is peculiar in that when the seed gets ripe it ex plodes, scattering the seed far and wide. I don't know how our mistletoe gets to the top Menace of the high oaks. Let's say "It's for the birds." I do not see much, if any, of this growth on the younger oaks. Can it not be that there is some enzyme in their sap that immunizes against the mistletoe, but that in time loses its potency? Something else. The bugs, They are getting to1 be more of a pest every year, it seems to me. A good freeze should eliminate a lot of them. So bear in mind, please, that if it ever gets that cold again there will be compen sations, even though our teeth chatter when we contemplate it. Frank L. Applegate, 615 South Oakdale ave., Medford. Pels and Policies To the Editor: I've been re- quested-by a friendly enemy- to write articles on my belief regarding Politics and Re ligion. I am. sorry; I observe botn-with much interest, but I never open my big mouth on either subject. My husband is a Republi can and I am a Democrat; he is Catholic and I am a Prot estant. We get along beauti- fully and never - weU, almost never-get in each other's hair. It's either old age, or we got hotheaded in a more temper amental age and ruined the roots. We haven't much hair. I just read that the Golden age is the best ever because we. can whistle while brush ing our teeth. Happy thought! I whistle from morning 'til night, anyhow. It exercises the face; besides, when that dense fog lowers til one can't even see what the neighbors are doing, there's nothing to talk about. Between fogs a large flock of robins have been hopping on lawns. Today Jan. 10- I've seen only two. i I've always fed birds dur ing winter months, but I can't do so now, for Smoleyhoke the cat, helping (?) me to write-loves birds as much as I do, but not for the same reason. Our Fifty Plus pianist, Maud Arnold, says our cat is black, but if she'd part the fur she'd find it is white. Smoley just wears a black coat to fool superstitious peo ple when she crosses in front of them. This morning a neighbor's pups started down the line with our Sunday Mail Trib une between them, and my pajama-clad other half three jumps behind them. Blame it all, I never do have fresh film in the camera when things happen! I went to Medford's Fifty Plus club at 12:30 Friday as usual. The St. Mark's Guild Hall at 5th and Oakdale is a wonderful place to meet. We have a new guest book. You folks out there should write your names in it. We have our new officers for the first half of 1960. I see by the blackboard that I am a new officer. Instead of the Publicity Chairman, I am now correspondent secretary. Oh, well, scribbling would be my hobby if I could think of things to write about. I am too old to start think ing. Stay healthy! - '- Mrs. John Spackman, . Jacksonville, . Ore. Suburbs and Country To the Editor: Many of your readers perhaps read the fol lowing lines which appeared some time ago in the M-T. I quote: "Suburban Areas Breeding Ground for Tension Disorders. Chicago -(Science Service)- rapidly growing suburban community is a Status Symbols in Washington Worker Habits, Emolnments, Importance By DICK WEST Washington (UPD By now you likely have read, or at least read about, a book called "The Status Seekers." It is all about people who aren't content with the status quo. The book tells us how to recognize status seekers by their status symbols. It is a best-seller just about every where, except in Washington. I suspect it lost sales status here because it made people self-conscious. Few places are more status-minded, or have more status symbols, than the U.S. Capital. I have done some research on federal 'status seeking which I offer, in the interests of science, as a footnote to the book. For laboratory purposes, Increasing Red Chinese Adopted by U.S. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor As the date of a four-power summit meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev draws nearer, the United States seems to be adopting an increasing ly tough line toward Red China. Army Sec retary Wilber M. Bru c k e r pwi Newsom inis week car ried another step forward the evolution of U., S. policy in the Formosa area when he declared that the U.S. would act to stop Communist ag- good breeding ground for ul cers and other tension disor- dsrs, evidence presented here today indicates." The quotation then went on to say: "An investigation of three communities - a stable rural area of moderate growth, mixed rural region, and a rapidly expanding sub urb - reveals that the mush rooming suburb housed the highest percentage of patients with coronary thrombosis, duodenal ulcer, and high blood pressure." rranKiy speaking, we Americans have a real' prob lem on our hands. Our ex ploding rate of population in crease is being evidenced on every side. Where contented cows once grazed and or chards bore their luscious fruit, we now hear the rum ble of bulldozers making new streets and the sound of ham mer and saw as new homes appear almost over night. These new homes, brightly painted, with green lawns in front, are indeed quite at tractive. Yet it seems that with all the hustle and bustle so evident everywhere that we Americans are not as con tented as were our grandpar ents. Our children gather in groups on the streets with nothing to do. There is no room in back of the house for the garden and wide open spaces. The neighbor behind us has his back yard planted against ours. A power mower keeps the lawn groomed and if a two-by-four garden plot is available, a power tiller is purchased to work it. Pa works in some office or fac tory. Ma frets and fusses over keeping the house so-so. The children, instead of getting exercise walking to school are hauled to a consolidated in stitution. There they find huge and impressive gymnasiums, provided by the taxpayers. Even electric hand dryers blow the moisture from their hands. Sometimes I really think that I have lots to be thankful for. True, we don't have a house with the biggest win dows on the street and a super market doesn't supply all of our wants. My wife can and does bake real whole wheat home made bread. She -makes vegetable soup from our own garden that excels CampbeU's and Van Camp's. We even grind our own cereals including corn meal from corn we raised. The children love to shell and pop our own pop corn. In the summer their faces are smeared with straw berries that excel the trucked in variety. All in all, my heart goes out to the modern parents who aren't enjoying the God given country, the only place to. bring up your children. ; Henry Johnson Jr., 2400 Highway 66,- - Ashland, Ore. Everett's Old Cars To the Editor: I have always been a newspaper reader, and I .think the Medford Tribune is Oregon's greatest news paper. Some years ago, I read an article in the Tribune about a railroad conductor who had just completed 4 million let us divide the seekers into four classes - civil servants, bureaucrats, very important persons (VTPs) and eggheads. Then let us examine their status symbols in the follow ing fields: Transportation To Work: Civil servant-rides bus. Bu-reacrat-has permit to park own car in government lot. VIP-has government limou sine and chauffeur. Egghead walks. Office Space: Civil servant has small desk in large outer office. Bpreaucrat-has large desk in small inner office. VIP-has large' desk in large inner office. Egghead - has briefcase. Lunch: Civil servant-eats in government cafeteria. Bureaucrat-has two-hour, two martini lunch in downtown Toughness Toward gression against any of Na tionalist China's territory -including the Quemoy and Matsu Islands. It was a forthright state ment of a U.S. attitude which has been developing steadily in the last year, but which is a considerable extension of the U.S. - Nationalist Chinese Mutual Security Treaty an nounced in December, 1954. That treaty defined the ter ritories of Nationalist China as being limited to "Formosa and the Pescadores." Question Excluded The question of the off shore islands, of which the Quemoys and Matsus are a part, deliberately was ex cluded. It is possible that Brucker's statement at this particular time is a part of the p re-summit jockeying taking place as both the United States and Russia seek to place them selves in the most advan tageous position at the con ference table. In this category may be placed President Eisenhower's announcement removing the ban on further U. S. nuclear tests. Brucker's timing was sig nificant both in light of the summit meeting now sched uled for May 16 and the fact that the date also coincides miles. This article was par ticularly ; interesting to ; me, for : I . had just completed 3 million miles. A reporter was sent to interview this man. It was a very short interview. Only one question was asked, and only one answer was given. The reporter asked the con ductor, "What were some of the interesting things which happened on this long trip?" "There were none, I just rode from one terminal to the other," the conductor re plied. It seemed strange to me that something of interest didn't happen on this long journey. He could have at least had one flat wheel. I had a darn good record by the time I was 7 years old, hadn't made a thousand miles, but already, . I had wrecked two: cabooses and a bicycle. I wasn't even thinking of joining the railroad. I just got off to a good start. With a start like this, I shouldn't have any trouble going all the way to Alcatraz. I've written a good many letters to the Tribune, mostly about some of my old taxi cars. Over 200,000 people rode in these early model cars, people from every state in the union and from many foreign countries. Almost everyone who lived in southern Oregon from 1910 till 1928 did at some time ride in one of these taxi cars. Many people rode with me in our old Reo, the car with the pasteboard body and hard rubber tires. Those who rode to Crater Lake in the pumice dust and corduroy roads had something to write home about. .. Every year someone goes through Ashland and in quires about the taxi driver, the one with the old Reo. No one who ever rode in this car could ever forget it. I do not know if the people of southern Oregon are inter ested in these old cars. Per haps I'm like the old Italian well digger I used to know in Julesburg, Colo., Uberto Gabello, who spent most of his life digging caves in the sandhills of Colorado. "Just to keep warm in the winter time," he would tell us. Everett Acklin . Ashland, Ore. Worry of . FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating? Don't be embarrassed by loose false teeth slipping, dropping or wobbling when you eat, talk or laugh. Just sprinkle a little FASTEETH on your plates. This pleasant powder gives a remarkable sense ot added comfort and security by holding plates more firmly. No gummy, gooey, pasty taste or feeling. It's alkaline (non-acid). Get FASTEETH at any drug counter restaurant. VIP-has two-hour, two-martini lunch in private dining room. Egghead-brings own lunch in briefcase. Cocktail Hour: Civil servant -has two beers at home. Bureaucrat-attends big cocktail party given by lobbyist. VIP attends small cocktail party given by lobbyist. Egghead has two glasses of wine at home. Dinner: Civil servant-eats at home. Bureaucrat-has two hour, two-martini dinner in downtown restaurant. VIP atends two-hour, two-martini dinner party given by lobby ist. Egghead cooks own din ner. Parades: Civil servant watches from sidewalk. Bureaucrat-watches from office window. VIP -rides in pro cession. Egghead - ignores whole thing. with improving weather con ditions for military operations in the Formosa straits. Should Red Chinese irrita tion that they have been ex cluded from the summit meet ing lead them to adventurous ideas of their own, they cer tainly would not overlook that particular advantage. Dates Back To '48 The Formosa dispute dates from the collapse of National ist Chinese armies on the mainland in 1948 and has wit nessed a total turnabout of (J.S. policy. ' In 1950, President Truman declared the U. S. "has no desire to establish military bases on Formosa at this time" and will "not pursue a course" involving it in China's civil war. In that same year, Secre tary of State Dean Acheson omitted both Korea and For mosa in his definition of the U.S. "defense perimiter" in the Far East. The switch came after Red Chinese intervention in the United Nations Korean police action and which since has re sulted in upwards of a billion dollars worth of military aid to Chiang Kai Shek's Formosa bastion. Brucker's statement not only is a reiteration of U. S. support for Nationalist Chi nese President Chian? Kai Shek, it also places the U.S. defensive line within gunshot of the Red Chinese coast. New Recording System Told New York (OPD - A revolu tionary recording system that could record all 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Britan- nica in 24 minutes on a reel the size of a spool of thread has been described here by scientists for the General Elec trie company. The new system called thermoplastic recording com' bines the processing speed and much of the versatility of magnetic recording with the storage capacity of pho tography, while offering ad vantages over both systems, according to Dr. Guy Suits, GE vice president and direct or of research. He said the new system, which is still under develop ment, can concentrate 100 times as much information in a given space as can magnetic recording and will do even better when perfected. Like photography, Suits said thermoplastic recording possesses the advantage of al most instantaneous recording and will produce pictures either in color or in black and white. However, it does not require the chemical pro cessing needed by photograph ic film and the tape used can be erased and reused as desired.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS " Egypt's Aswan dam, which has been in the big headlines for lo these many years. It's finally getting under way. On Saturday, President Gamal Abdel Nasser pressed a but ton that set off IIV2 tons of dynamite and started con struction on this biggest proj ect in Egypt since Uie Suez canal a century ago. TT IS getting under way with -RUSSIAN MONEY - which is assumed to be a diplomatic defeat for us and a great vic tory for Russian diplomacy. That, of course, is the as sumption of the diplomats. It is just possible that -American taxpayers (who put up the money the diDlomats spend) may have a somewhat aiiierent opinion. It may oc cur to them that when the Russians put up the where withal to get the dam going me American taxpayer won't have to foot the bill. Anyway, the Russians are chipping in the American equivalent of one hundred million dollars and are Dro- viding Russian engineers and technicians and Soviet-made equipment with which to get the job going.

So let's re joice with them over what has happened. And- I suppose one should add -Let's congratulate the Rus sians on getting into the busi ness of doing good in the world. It will be a wonderful experience for them. It will teach them a lot of things they don't know now. 0' NE thing remains to . be seen: Just how long will it be until the Egyptians begin to shout: '' "Russkies, GO HOME!" pETTING closer home: " In Louisiana . former Gov ernor Jimmy Davis, singer of hillbilly songs and maker of hillbilly movies, defeats de Lesseps Morrison, New Or leans civic and business lead er, for the governorship of the state.
