On Politics
Politics is certainly getting under way early
this year.
Here it isn't even February yet. Filing dead
line isn't until March 11. The primary election
isn't until May.
But candidates are
place! The Democrats
Friday in Salem for their first party convention
in many, many years.
Chairmen of both political parties are out
beating the bushes (or digging at the grass roots).
IT'S beginning to look
1 up, with minor pauses for breath, from now
until the first week m JNovember.
It will be slightly exhausting.
But it's good. It's good for us and good for
those seeking political
the country.
As always, the Mail
umns, will endeavor to bring full accounts of all
these lively doings, from the Presidential level
to the most local decisions. It will endeavor to
do so impartially and objectively, although this
won't always be easy, and it is probable that we
will offend one side or
at one time or another.
DERHAPS, in this early stage, it should be re-
emphasized that this newspaper, in common
with all others which adhere to sound journal
istic practice, tries its best to keep its editorial
opinions on the editorial page, and out of the
news columns.
A number of our staff members will be writ
ing political stories during the year. The personal
political learnings of these reporters is something
which is their own business and something
which they tiy (usually
in writing political news.
If personal opinion does show up in the news
story, on EITHER side of the fence, it is in viola
tion of instructions, and means that the reporter
and the copy editor "goofed" on the job.
THROUGHOUT the year, the editorial columns
will discuss various aspects of the political
scene, and opinions will be offered.

E.A.
On Attracting Industry
The Democratic Governor of Washington,
Albeit D. Rosellini. and the ReDublican Governor
of Oregon, Mark 6. Hatfield, have, in addition
At. .i.:. Li ii- i
iu ueing uie cmei executives oi lae noixnwesu
Pacific states, something else in common.
Each has promised to do what can be humanlv
done to bring industry into his state.
Ana eacn nas little to snow yet tor his efforts.
DOSELLINI, now completing his first term in
office, finds himself in the position of point
ing out that attracting new industrial firms to
the state is, at best, a slow process.
The Argus of Seattle comments:
"The bloom appear to have faded from the Rosel
lini rose insofar as the governor's dream of locating
a booming industry in every hamlet, and a few big
ones here and there, has failed to develop after three
years of the current administration."
This was a lesson Bob Holmes learned the
hard way, and it undoubtedly was something of
a factor in his defeat two years ago by Governor
Hatfield.
MOW Hatfield himself, who featured "attract-
ing industry" during his campaign, is learn
ing the same lesson.
He's worked at the job as did Bob Holmes
and Albert Rosellini. And it may be that signif
icant "ssults will ensue (although, industry-build-
r oemg what it. is, it would be hard to tell how
uuch to credit Hatfield and how much to credit
earlier spadework by the Holmes administration).
He has, happily for him, a couple of more
years for results to show up results for which,
politics being what they are, he can claim the
credit.
All of which goes to show that politics are
, funny. E.A.
Don 't Hold Your Breath
It may be that Eugene and Springfield and
the surrounding heavily-populated countryside
eventually will join in a major city of some 100,
000 population.
But don't hold your breath until it happens.
If experiences throughout the state with an
nexation and such, to say nothing of city rivalries,
are any criteria, quite a few years could drag out
before the voters would approve.
The comments of the two mayors involved
give a clue. Ed Harms of Springfield likes the
idea but "questions that it is practical at this
time." Ed Cone of Eugene would like more
studies made to determine "if consolidation
world be equally fair to both cities."
It'll be some time yet. E.A.

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
paper; in fact the cortrary is often the case.
Why Is It Popular?
To the Editor: This letter is
written in answer to Mrs. (or
perhaps Miss) Name on File
who wishes anonymity in
your Jan. 25 issue. This
woman's problem does not lie
in what the Holly and Cra-
terian theaters in Medford, or
what any other theater choses
to show, but in what her mind
chooses to connect to the
showing of this picture. For
her the evil she sees in this
picture is not her private
property, but the property of
everyone. Because she con
notes evil to this picture, it
is evil, in her mind and in
EVERYONE else's.
On the other hand, the
French see nothing wrong in
a picture of this sort. It is
only when the picture is
brought to the United States
that it suddenly becomes evil
and must be censored to pro
tect" our morals. A familiar
quotation that is read by col
lege students throughout the
United States reads:
How beautiful are thy feet
in sandal s, O prince's
daughter!
The joints of thy thighs are
like jewels,
The work of the hands of a
cunning workman.
Thy navel is like a. rounded
goblet,
Wherein no mingled wine
is wanting:
Thy belly is like a heap of
wheat
Set about the lilies.
Thy two breasts are like
two fawns
They are twins of a roe . . .
Shocking as this might
sound to our anonymous
friend, this will probably
never be censorer" by "do
gooders" of her caliber. For
this quotation is from the
Song of Solomon, Chapter 7.
Perhaps since it is included
in the Bible, it has another
message, but how many of our
innocent young youths who
happen to run across it will
think differently about it?
Perhaps rather than censor
movies like the one in ques
tion it would bo better to
censor the youth at home by
vigilant parents who plan to
raise their children, not let
some sort of communal ar
rangement perform the task
for them.
Our problem in America is
not the problem of riding the
filth from our theatres, but
becoming mature enough and
cosmopolitan enough to wide-stand
why it is so popular.

Litter, Snow, Singing
To the Editor: Pretty lawns
are frames for pleasant
streets, and if perchance those
streets are tree-lined-wow!
But come litter bugs. Some
bugs are kind o' nice. Take
for instance, lady bugs. They
kill the aphis that destroy
our rosies. Litter humans -they
get my goat!
We were driving on a lone
ly street 'til we came to a
paper snow storm, there a
trash can, then another block
of litter. If that street could
talk it might ask, "Would
you like patches all over
you?" - -
New York's white patches
of snow in March are differ

time; warm days and cold
nights. Coming home from
school I would snap off a
hard maple branch. The snap
would drip and freeze. The
next morning I had a "Pop

to school. !

Jack is Puzzled
To the Editor: Oregon has
the most qualified candidate
for President of the United
States - Wayne Morse. It
seems a little peculiar to me
that some of the more profes
sional Democratic leaders are
supporting other candidates.
I seem to remember that
when Charles McNary was a
candidate for President Ora
gonians backed him to the
hilt. When Mark Hatfield wai
discussed as possible Vice
Presidential material the Re
publican party closed rank
behind him.
It is generally understood
that an overwhelming major
ity of the Democratic profes
sional politicians in Massa
chusetts and Minnesota are
backing their favorite son
candidates.

the "present" Democratic
leaders in Oregon?

Cancer Testimony Given Amid
Tobacco Smoke to Committee
By DICK WEST
Washington - (DPD - Seldom

consumed under a "No Smok

sion about
cancer.
People were
firing up cig
arettes, cigars
and pipes all
over the House

Dick West room.
No one paid the slightest
heed to the "No Smoking"
sign that hung on one wall.
Neither did the fact that Ar

of health, education and wel
fare, was the witness, deter
them.

Matter of Fact
THE MISSILE GAP: THE
ESTIMATES
The following article is
the second in a series of
six.
Washington "With only
some 300 ballistic missiles,
the Soviets could virtually
wipe out our entire nuclear
capability within a span of
thirty minutes. To further
heighten this threat, only
about half of
these missiles
would have to
be ICBMs.
The rest could
be the small
I n termediate
Range Ballis
tic Missiles."
(Speech last
week by the
Joseph alsop U. S. Strategic
Air Commander, Gen. Thom
as Power. Emphasis is Gen.
Power's.)
' The first authoritative state
ment ; of the missiles the So
viets need to destroy the
American deterrent came
straight from the man in
charge of the deterrent. But
almost simultaneously, Secre
tary of Defense Thomas Gates
and the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs, Gen. Nathan Twining,
were telling a Congressional
committee that we hardly
need . to worry about Soviet
missiles, or about a missile
gap.
: Therefore Secretary Gates
and General Twining plainly
believe that the Soviets can
not possibly have or produce
the missiles General Power
says they need. The Secretary
and the chairman of the Joint I
Chiefs in fact place absolute,
confidence in the National In
telligence Estimates-the offi
cial guesses at Soviet military
capability prepared by the
Central Intelligence Agency
in cooperation with the State
Department and the Armed
Services.
AS SURVIVAL quite liter-
ally depends on Secretary
Gates being right, it is im
portant to know whether his
confidence in the estimates is
well-founded. The first thing
to note is the extreme narrow
ness of the national estimates'
margin of error, beyond which
further error may mean na
tional suicide.
According to General Pow
er, the Soviets could destroy
our deterrent with 150 inter
continental missiles, for our
nuclear launching sites in this
hemisphere, plus another 150
intermediate range missiles,
for our air and missile bases
overseas. The national esti
mates themselves have long
granted the Soviets an ample
stock of IRBMs. Over 100
IRBM launching pads are
know to exist in Eastern Eu
rope alone. Thus everything
hangs upon the single ques
tion, whether the Soviets now
have, or will soon have, only
operational i n t ercontinental
missiles.
The number is not large. It
is, for example, only ten
months of the productive ca
pacity of our own Atlas ICBM
plant, if the Atlas production
adults would never have to
fear another war.

First to give him shelter
was Gen. Alfredo Stroessner
of Paraguay. Then it was
President Anastasio Somoza
of Nicaragua. A visit to Vene
zuela proved to be one of un
fortunate timing, because he
was there when the dictator
ial government of President
Marcos Perez Jiminez fell and
he was forced to take refuge
in the Dominican Embassy.
From there he moved on to
Ciudad Trujillo, headquarters
of Generalissimo Rafael Tru
jillo, and Peron's new home

attention to statistical links
between smoking and lung
cancer.
On this occasion, however,
he was talking about cancer
in relation to cranberries,
chickens, oranges and lip
stick. Worrying about things
like that may be one of the
reasons people are smoking
more.
Wants Stronger Law
The secretary was before
the committee seeking a
stronger law to protect us
against cancer-causing chem
icals in foods, drugs and cos
metics. The bill would give
him more power to ban the
use of artificial coloring
agents that might be harm
ful.

line were working on a three
shift basis instead of a busi
ness-as-usual basis. It is also
less than the number of opera'
tional ICBMs we would now
have in this country, if Pres
ident Eisenhower had ordered
an all-out missile effort after
the warning of the first Sput
nik.
A GAIN, 150 ICBMs is only
three-fifths of the "rock
ets" that Nikita S. Khrush
chev has said the Soviets pro
duced last year "in a single
factory." From the context, he
seemed to be talking about
intercontinental rockets. He
was hopefully interpreted here
as talking only about IRBMs
At that, the interpretation is
not overly comforting, for we
have no factory today that is
currently producing half
Khrushchev s number of ma
jor rockets, even in the IRBM
range. .
Finally, and most important
of all, 150 ICBMs is, or at
least ought to be, a much
smaller number of operation
al missiles by Soviet standards
than by American standards
This is because of the lamen
table difference in the his
tories of the Soviet and Amer
ican missile programs.
In brief, there was no co
herent, sensible American pro
gram of long range missile
development before 1954. On
ly in that year were practical
recommendations for big mis
siles presented by the late Dr.
John von Neumann, and ram
med through the resisting
Pentagon by the late Secre
tary of the Air Force Harold
Talbott and former Assistant
Secretary Trevor Gardner.
This late start is the main
reason why the first Amer
ican ICBM, the Atlas, though
operational and efficient, is
basically an engineering hy
brid. THE Soviet program of mis
sile development, in con
trast, began early, always had
a high priority, and has been
marked by methodical, order
ly continuity. In the years af
ter the war, before the U. S.
had managed to build a single
Chinese copy of the German
V-2, the Soviets produced
1000 V-2s in the captured un
derground V-2 plantain East
Germany, , just to get their
hands in, so to say. Develop
ment thereafter proceeded by
generations: the T-l, an im
proved V-2; the T-2, an IRBM
prototype; the T-3A and T-3B,
which are the present Soviet
ICBMs; and the new, longer
range Soviet missile tested in
the Pacific, which is the
fourth generation.
If the United States had
followed a similar develop
ment curve over a similar
period of time, there can be
no doubt at all that we would
have, not a mere 150 ICBMs
operational, but 1500 ICBMs

out of the Western Hemi
sphere. But the victory may be
temporary and Peron himself
has indicated he still hopes
for a triumphal return to
Buenos Aires.
Name Remains A Power
Amazingly, and in spite of
the Argentine government's
unceasing campaign to de
stroy his image, Peron's name
remains a power in Argen
tina. ,
It was in December, 1943,
that Peron began his rise to
power. Gen. Pedro Ramirez,
then President, named him
minister of labor and welfare.
This post permitted him to or
ganize the "Descamisados"
the shirtless ones-who became
the pillars of his regime.
Today they battle the aus
terity program brought on by
Peron's excesses and remem
ber only that under Peron
they bought television sets.
"Thief or no thief, we want
him back," is a neo-Peronist
chant in Buenos Aires.
In Argentina's last general
election, at Peron's call, they
left more than two million
ballots blank.
Saving Argentina's new re
gime is the fact that the armed
forces do not want Peron
back. And unless they do
there is little chance that
Peron can carry out his threat
that "many heads will roll
when I return to Buenos
Aires."
