Z-SALr u 406 E. Main Street "Medford's Home Laundry Specialists t I a . . a rnone m MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Monday, Jan. 18, 1960 WHAT DOES he mean by that? Well- Presumably- He is saying that if ANY BODY starts anything Russia will blow him to Kingdom Come with a mass of nuclear armed missiles and what have you. WHAT DOES that amount to? It amounts to a threat of MASSIVE RETALIATION. What's massive retaliation? It has been our ace in the hole for a dozen years. SO WHAT? I'd say it sounds very much like copy-catting us. Copy-catting is imitation. There is an ancient and dis cerning proverb to the effect that I M I T A T I O N IS THE SINCEREST FLATTERY. If Mr. K is imitating us, it means that he thinks we've got something worth imitat ing and fears that if he doesn't imitate us he'll come out in the short end of the horn. FROM FLATTERY by imi t a t i e n, Mr. K goes to veiled threats. He mutters in his beard about a FANTAS TIC new Russian weapon that is so horrible that he can't bring himself to mention it. What is it? One of our atomic scientists thinks it might be "an orbital H-bomb" that could be sta tioned in space and fired or recalled by the Russkies command.

SUPPOSE the Russkies do have in the works an "or bital H-bomb" that can be fired by pushing an electronic jigger. Instead of shivering in our boots and running for the brush, let's devise an orbital contraption that can chase the Russky contraption down and finish it off like a bat finishes off a mosquito. T ET'S ADOPT the motto of "Sir Lancelot: "Our strength is as the strength of ten because our hearts are pure" and then buttress it with another and ruggeder motto that goes like this: THE BIGGER THEY ARE THE HARDER THEY FALL. quit squabbling among ourselves. Let's agree on what ought to be done and then DO IT.
