On Military Strength
.'A friendly and thoughtfuUetter from a reader
of tKese columns makes a point.
, .. The writer says a piece here the other day,
entitled -"Gambling Our ; Future," shocked her.
She adds: ..
I "Your list of publications', columnists and military
men who want more weapons is very disheartening
when we should be concerned only with solving the
'problems that face us at the next summit meeting.
- Anyway, the administration has said we are strong
enough.
- . "Our problem is to stop this crazy competition in
, nuclear weapons and missiles, not to continue it. . ."
agree whole-heartedly with this sincere
j Xy expression up to a point.
The point where we begin to differ is at the
unspoken but implicit assumption that we can
trust the Russians' word. .
Tragically, they have shown, repeatedly, their
word cannot be trusted.
And therein lies the difficulty of working out
an accommodation for which the whole world
is crying. Unless and until the Russians demon
strate conclusively that they have abandoned
their declared aim to conquer the world, or un
less and until we can work out ENFORCEABLE
disarmament agreements, we see no alternative
but to remain strong militarily strong enough
to deter any ambitions Russia might be harbor
ing for conquest.
,
HTHIS is the crux of the problem can we trust
Russia's word?
If we could, the armaments race would end.
But Russia has shown (and, unhappily, is
still showing) that she will honor an agreement,
or a treaty, only so long as she considers it to her
interests to do so.
Let us grant that
change in Russia since the death of Stalin. Let
us grant that Khrushchev is a far more likeable
fellow. Let us grant that he talks (at least part of
the time) in a more reasonable manner.
But the grim fact
never renounced her world-wide ambitions; has
never given any evidence
real reduction in military power; has never felt
bound by any international agreement it served
her purpose to break.
.... . .
NOR has she hesitated
Witness Finland. Esthonia. Latvia. . Lithuan
ia, roiand. uzecnosiovakia. Hungary.
We happen to believe
Kremlin today are realistic enough to fear the
devastation of nuclear
it at (almost) any. cost.
But we also believe that the masters of the
Kremlin are still bent on world-wide power, and
are not a bit queasy about how they achieve it.
. The United States' capability of nuclear re
taliation is, we regretfully conclude, the chief
means at hand still restraining , them.
117E agree with our gentle correspondent that
the armament race is a crazy and senseless
thing. .
But the alternative is
And if the day comes
judgment, our weakness
immediately and effectively retaliate, to an
extent which would make a Russian military
gamble prohibitive, then,
Kremlin wouldn t hesitate a moment to strike,
and strike hard.
If that day comes, the United States and its
traditions of responsible
Ihe world as we know it will end.
MEANWHILE (as we also indicated. before),
we must, while remaining strong, continue
to seek accommodations which may lead to an
end of the armaments race.
We must maintain contact with Russia's mas
ters, in the hope that they may, in fact as well
as in outward gesture, be inclined to abandon
their world-wide ambitions.
We must seek the friendship of free men and
free nations throughout the world, for alone our
power and prestige are not sufficient to deter
Russia's ambitions.
We must continue and expand programs of
international exchange, educational, cultural and
in other fields, hoping that by increasing con
tacts we can broaden understandings on both
sides of .the Iron Curtain.
DUT none of these things will avail if, in speak
ing to the Kremlin, we speak from a position
of weakness.
Would Khrushchev have any more compunc
tion about bombing Washington or New York
than he did in sending Soviet tanks in to crash
the rebellion . in Hungary little more than three
short years ago?
We'd, like to believe lie would, but his own
actions belie any such hope.
These are the reasons why we argue that this
nation must remain militarily strong beyond any
reasonable doubt.
These, coupled with strong evidence that our
def ensss are not and will not be strong enough,
are the reasons why we called for increased de
fense appropriations. . . ..
We are as anxious for peace and disarmament
as our friendly correspondent But to divest our
selves of military strength under today's condi
tions would, we fear, be an invitation to suicide.

League's Role
To the Editor: In line with
the non-partisan policy of the
League of Women Voters,
Mrs. Robert Boyer has sub
mitted her resignation as an
elected member of the Med
ford board due to political
party activity within her fam
ily. As you may know the
League encourages activity by
its members in the party of
their choice, but Board Mem
bers maintain " an attitude of
non-partisanship in order to
give effective service to the
community.
The League never endorses
any candidate and takes a po
sition only on those issues
chosen by the members to
which it has given intensive
thought and study. On the
other hand it attempts to pro
vide accurate information to
citizens on the qualifications
of candidates of both parties
as well as on both sides of
issues to help voters in the
making of those wise choices
on which good government is
based.

Slash Burning Destructive
To the Editor: Years ago
loggers cut the big timber,
leaving the small and the
slash, and moved on. The slash
and humus from decayed
foliage and logs held the
moisture. The land was shaded
with the remaining timber, so
soon even the landmgs and
the skid trails were grow
ing up again. Now there is
another stand of timber.
Now after logging, the slash
is burned. Included with slash
is all the logs, humus, and
most of the young growth.
Without cover, the ground
that isn't washed away is too
hot for seedlings to start.
Our crew burned several
hundred acres - of slash this
year. We tried to start at the
top of the ridges and burn
down, leaving what young
growth we could, but fire cre
ates its own draft and soon
the fires sounded like forma
tions of jets going over. There
was at least 90 per cent kill
of aU the young growth. In
stead of getting in trouble for
aU the damage we did, the fire
inspector told us to go back
and burn it some more before
he would give the land a re
lease. Standing on a fire trail be
tween a burned-over section
on one side and a selectively
logged, non-burned section on
the other, gives a goodcom
parison. The burned one is
badly eroded, covered with
brush, and logs that were too
green to burn. All through it
small snags that were small
trees when burned stick up. It
would be hard to imagine a
worse fire hazard. Some trees
escaped. With good luck and
no fire, there may be an
other half crop of tre on
what ground didn't wash
away in another hundred
years. Across the line is a
good stand of young second
growth that has been selec
tively logged three times, the
last, a "final" cut. In about
30 years there will be another
crop. After the second year
of not burning, there is far
less danger of fire on the un
burned tract.
I would suggest no burning
except bug kUled slash and
hand-piled slash along public
roads.
The money saved could be
used to build more fire and
access roads. ,
.Years from now, future gen
erations will look back on
today as the dark ages of for
est conservation.

Are We Cowards?
To the Editor: Are we being
too lenient with Castro in
Cuba? Do we have the moral
if not legal right to protect
United States interest in
Cuba?
Castro in his new land re
form is taking land away
from the large land owners
and, like Robin Hood, giving
it to the less fortunate people
of Cuba. The United States
controls large sugar planta
tions in Cuba, so we are find
ing that our sugar investments
are being taken away and
divided among the Cuban
peons. Yet, we do nothing.
We do not wish to harm
friendly relations with Latin
America. Yes, Cuba is our
friend and we must remember
that even when Castro de
nounces the United States,
and repeatedly accuses us of
being aggressive trouble-ma
kers. Yet, we must remember
they are our friends and we
must not hurt friendly rela
tions. Other nations of Latin
America are looking to Cuba
for leadership and even now
some nations are beginning to
take steps to follow Castro's
corrupt philosophy. The Car
ribean is being turned up side
down with this new pro-Castro
feeling. Quite recently
Panama broke out with anti
U.S. demonstrations, threat
ening the. United States with
the fear of losing the Canal
Zone to illegal nationalization.
Who will be next? Venezu
ela,' Brazil j or. possibly. Co
lombia? Will these nations be
gin to nationalize U.S. invest
ments when they' discover
that the United States is
afraid to do anything to pro
tect our rights?
Are we cowards that we
have to hide behind the
words, "friendly relations"?

Wants Taxes Cut
To the Editor: I am very
much concerned about ' the
people living on Social Securi
ty and low incomes being tax
ed out of their homes.
I have seen the time in
Medford when many people
lost their homes and lots, And
others, near City Hall, were
able ' to buy them up cheap,
ignoring the law as stated in
the city charter that the prop
erty must be advertised and
sold to the highest bidder.
Let's not see that happen
again.
The Budget Committee will
soon be meeting for the 60-61
budget. Let's demand that
they forget that they can
raise our taxes another 6 per
cent without our vote and
start cutting our taxes. IT
CAN-BE-DONE.
When Medford brought the
outlying school districts into
the Medford system, they cut
the school tax in the outlying
district, but Medford got an
other raise.
Is this to continue and many
be forced out of their homes?
I have said before, . and I
repeat, wake up taxpayer.
You could, with misfortune,
be one of them.

40 Letters A Minute 1
Outside of designing
stamps, pigeonholing is prob
ably the highest art form in
the postal service. It takes a
mail clerk about three years
to become a good pigeonholer.
And it takes a lot of study for
him to stay that way.
A clerk must learn by heart
more than 4,000 combinations
of mail routes and schedules
in order to put letters in the
proper pigeonholes. This is
roughly equivalent to memor
izing 100 pages of a telephone
book.
Once he has mastered the
system, the average clerk can
pigeonhole about' 40 letters
a minute. The trouble is that
mail routes and schedules are
constantly changing. Each
time that happens, the clerk
has to break his old pigeon
holing habit - pattern and de
velop a new one.

must realize that the Rogue
Valley is . not just another
area. Some parts of this val
ley are abundant in , scenic
beautyothers could stand im

as a firm example of what
could stand some improve
ment. .
I propose that rather than
deface the vicinity further
with unsightly billboards, we
work to improve the situation
as it now stands. Let's leave
advertising in magazines and
newspapers where it won t de
face scenery or disgust people
who are not interested.
I'm sure that if enough
people are interested in stop
ping this form of advertise

problem. Let's stop it now, be

Federal Aid To Schools
To the Editor: I am writing
in regard to a recent letter
which you . received concern
ing the students of Crater pay
ing for their lunches.
I agree fully that, the par
ents should pay for their chil
dren's lunches, but I do not
believe that we shouldn't rely
on Federal aid for schools and
buildings.
As for the reason, when
ever we need a new school or
additional rooms on one, we
have to hold a bond election
to be able to get these bonds,
whereas, if we had Federal
aid the chances of obtaining
the action we need sooner
would double.

Politics:
Over the week end. Sen
ator Karl Mundt Republican,
South Dakota) and Repre
sentative George H. Mahon
(Democrat, Texas) kept the
defense controversy boiling.
Mundt, in a report to his
constituents, charged that the
Democratic critics of the ad
ministration have been play
ing-"not so powerful politics
on a critical issue-our nation
al security."
Mahon, appearing on a tele
vision program, said the
United States faces a "fright
ening situation because of So
viet missile superiority."
IIE HOME folks, of course,
" understand it all. This is
an election year, and in elec

strange things.

arising at times in our minds:
Is it, or isn't it, a good idea
to keep telling the enemy all
the time how weak and help
less we are?
He just MIGHT- believe it.
In that event, the conse
quences could be TRAGIC.
HORE politics:
If X For the past four days
Democratic leaders (some 750
of them) have been meeting
in Albuquerque to put to
eether Dlanks of benefit to
the West for inclusion in the
structure of. the Democratic
national platform.
These planks dealt with
development of the national
resources of the Western
states, with transportation
problems and with small busi
ness.. The news services re-
Dort that this purpose "was
achieved quietly amid the
hullabaloo which centered
around the Presidential as

I'm tempted to complain be
cause it's windy, well, I think
what would we do without
the wind? Those moisture la
den clouds out there over the
Pacific need some way to get
inland. Without the wind,
well my guess is, they'd just
stay there.
So instead of growling and
complaining, let's ' smile. Just
think of the beautiful, spring
flowers that will soon be com
ing out. Our Heavenly Father
has indeed given us a beauti
ful place in which to, live. Yet
there is enough of the sordid
and dark side to help us real
ize that all is not well. With
the tension and unrest, the
wanton destruction so preva
lent today, and "the fears that
grip men's hearts, it all makes
us long for something better.
Many people feel as though
a new order of things can be
brought about with new heads
of government. This I fear is
only wishful thinking. The
motives of men may be well
and good but until the God in
Heaven sets up His everlast
ing kingdom, which will
never pass away, all will be
unrest and trouble. Only in
the Holy Scriptures can we
hope to find the solution to
all of our problems. Many
may scoff at this view. If a
better answer can be found,
I'd be happy to have it. r

rats back to the White House;
and Senator John Kennedy
-of Massachusetts, who said
quite frankly that he came
to Albuquerque in search of
votes. Among other things, he

didates who decline to enter
the various state primary
elections, terming tnem "peo

I
THINK maybe he has
something there.
The purpose of Presiden
tial primary elections is to
give the general run of the
people a chance to express
their preferences among the
candidates for the party nom
inations. How can the people
express their preferences if
candidates either stay out of
the primaries entirely or en
ter only those in which they
think they have a walk
away? If the Presidential primary
system is to be of any value,
it ought to be universal.
SENATOR Kennedy, whose
home is in Massachu
setts, took a crack at the Ei-
senhower administration,
which he accused of "shame
ful neglect of the West." He
added: "Any administration
which has forgotten the West
is an administration which
neglected the nation.'".
I
SUPPOSE that ;is true
enough. . . And, as West
erners, we feel that over the
years we haven't had EV

I think it must be con

Arizona was up 56.7 per cent,
California up 34.9 per cent.

same period, New York's
population increased only 10
