On School Bonds
The Medford school board is on the spot.
On one hand, it is sensitive to strong pressure
against any increase in property taxes.
On the other hand, it is faced with the reality
that, just to accommodate students who will be
in school next year, about 13 new classrooms will
be needed.
It also has to face the fact that operational
costs are still rising, that teachers are in need of
salary increases, and that these things will have
to be reflected in the annual budget.
.
THE school board would be delinquent in its
duties if it shrugged off its responsibility to
provide schoolrooms for the students its knows
(by actual count) will be in school next year.
The problem is, how shall the money to build
these rooms be raised.
Should the funds be raised through a special
bond issue? Or should they be tacked on to an
already-high operating budget?
There are things to be said for and against
either method.
IF THE funds are included in the budget, the
" needed rooms would be paid for in one year.
But this would increase the district's levy millage
by a considerable amount for the one-year period.
If the funds are raised through a bond issue,
the costs will be spread over a period of years
(probably 10). In other words, the rooms would
be paid for while they were used and for about
the same period of time that the students for
whom they are built are attending school.
As a result, the tax millage would not go up
as much, but would stay up longer.
The problem is a lot like trying to decide
whether to pay cash for a new car, or buy it on
the installment plan.
I TNDER the circumstances, we believe the board
was wise in its decision to use the bond issue
method even if it means going to the voters
twice (for approval of the bond issue AND the
budget), rather than once, when the budget is
presented for voter approval.
Complicating the situation is the need for a
new high school building which will be required
in another three years or so, depending on how
school enrollment develops.
A bond issue is the only method by which a
major investment could be financed.
And while the board is reluctant to go to the
people to obtain funds more often than neces
sary, they still have the solemn obligation to see
that needed buildings are built. E.A.
Alternatives
During the discussions of school financial
needs, someone is bound to come up with sug
gestions that, to save money, schools be placed
on a double-shift basis, or the year around.
Like many proposals,
in actuality, they wouldn t save much money,
and would detract from the quality of education
offered to our young people.
The major expense of
operation, not from construction, and the major
operational cost is in salaries.
THUS, double-shifting

would be saved.
The same applies to

No if Medford is to retain its ranking as
one of the best school districts in the state, it is
going to have to continue its traditional support,
build the needed buildings, and then pay the
piper. E.A.
Posey on Tenure
Elsewhere on this page is a letter from Cecil
Posey, the executive secretary of the Oregon Ed
ucation Association.
He takes issue with a recent editorial here
criticizing the Oregon teacher tenure law.
We have long admired Cecil for his vigorous
and effective work on behalf of the teaching pro
fession. (He is known in Salem as one of the most
effective lobbyists in the state.)
But we'll have to disagree with him (and
Governor Sprague, too) this time, although not
very strongly.
llE'LL agree, for instance, that "a properly
administered and supervised tenure pro
gram" is needed.
We'll disagree that there is one now in Ore
gon. In the earlier editorial we said: "Some pro
tection for teachers, from the one-in-a-million ad
ministrator who may wish to fire a teacher capric
iously should be retained."
It was interesting to note that several teach
ers in the Medford school district let us know they
agree with our criticism.
We are not convinced that a good teacher has
had his energies and initiative "released" by the
present tenure law, which makes it virtually im
possible to discharge a sub-standard teacher short
of a charge of moral turpitude. E.A. ;

Matter of Fact
Washington-Go to the old
Navy Department, to hear the
story of the great Polaris
s u b m a rine-
a n d - missile
project. It is
a n inspiring
experience. It
is also a deep
ly reassuring
e x penence
until you be
gin to think
about it.
Joseph alsop 1 e r e are
just about the most technic
ally advanced weapons man
has ever devised, consider
ably more complex, over all,
than our Atlas ICBM for in
stance. Here is a weapons
system requiring many tens
of thousands of human and
mechanical components, rang
ing from men for the missile
crews to air-cleaners for . the
submarines, to fabulously ac
curate gyros for the missiles
themselves. Here is a project
demanding continuous, coor
dinated forward movement on
countless different fronts.
This marvelous movement
began, almost from scratch,
in 1956. Less than four years
ago, the Polaris project was
set up on the lines of a
smaller Manhattan District,
under the brilliant and hard
driving Adm. W. F. Raborn
Jr. Yet today, all the fan
tastically complex parts are
nearly ready to be fitted to
gether in the first operational
Polaris. Before the year is
out, the George Washington
will be at sea with 16 mis
siles aboard, any one of which
will be able to kill a medium
sized city.
THE Polaris project is in
spiring because it shows
what we in America can do
if we put our minds to . it,
and it is reassuring because
it . promises important rein
forcements for the American
deterrent. But this project is
also the very opposite of re
assuring, if you just crank
the Polaris experience into
the current great debate about
national defense.
At bottom, the defense de
bate concerns only one ques
tion. The question is whether
the Soviets now have or viU
soon have the smaU number
of intercontinental ballstic
missiles needed "to wipe
out" the American deterrent,
which is now totally vulner
able. The number needed at
this time is only 150 Soviet
ICBMs. The National Intel
ligence Estimates say that the
Soviets do not now have 150
ICBMs, and further say they
will not have the still small
but gradually increasing
numbers of ICBMs they will
need later. The President has
therefore neglected to budget
the relatively modest sums of
money that .are needed to
make the American deterrent
less vulnerable, by maintain
ing an airborne alert and in
other ways. Yet merely by
its brilliant success, the Po
laris project raises at least
two kinds of grave doubts
about the dependability of the
National Intelligence Esti
mates on which so much de
pendence has been placed.
On the one hand, it raises
technical doubts. For exam
ple, the able director of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
Allen W. Dulles, has testified
that there are good reasons
to believe the Soviets do not
have weapons crews for a
decisive number of ICBMs.
These reasons are fairly per
suasive if the Soviets are as
sumed to need the same large
numbers of men included in
the American ICBM squad
rons. But these reasons are
less persuasive when you note
that 33 men on the George
Washington will service and
if necessary fire a total of
16 Polaris missiles.
SUPPOSE it is certain that
the Soviet ICBM is liquid
fueled, rather than solid-fuelled
like the Polaris and the
prospective American Min-
Menace
By Joseph Alsop
uteman missile. Suppose, that
a Soviet ICBM weapons crew
has to be proportionally four
times larger than a Polaris
weapons crew, because of the
greater difficulty of servicing
liquid-fuelled missiles. But
suppose also that the Soviet
ICBMs are as fully auto
mated as Polaris, and that
the Soviet ICBM crews are
as economically organized as
Admiral Raborn's Polaris
crews.
You then get a figure of
only about 1,300 men in spe
cially trained weapons crews
to fire 150 Soviet ICBMs.
And how on earth can any
one but the all-seeing Al
mighty be sure that a mere
1,300 men have not been spe
cially trained somewhere in
the vast reaches of the Soviet
land mass?
In the same way, the Polar
is project also raises what
may be called grave organiza
tional doubts about the Na
tional Intelligence Estimates
To be specific, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Air Force
Prevor Gardner, who was
eventually fired for being too
right about the missile gap,
wisely fought for a Manhat
tan District type organization
of our ICBM program. Gard
ner was defeated in this fight,
however. Under Gen. Ben a
min Schriever, great things
have nonetheless been ac
complished with our ICBM
program. But because Gard
ner was defeated, General
Schriever has always had to
work through channels, and
mostly through half-clogged
channels. Hence Schriever has
lacked the immense organi
zational advantages' of Ad
miral Raborn in the Polaris
project, and of General
Groves in the Manhattan Dis
trict.
MEANWHILE, under the
prevailing estimating sys
tem, our own ICBM perform
ance is our yardstick for So
viet ICBM performance. The
Soviet program began years
before ours did. Only sup
pose that the boss of the So
viet program has enjoyed the
same organizational advan
tages as Admiral Raborn.
Then there is no reason why
all the needful components-
missiles, weapons crews,
launchers, and so on - may not
suddenly be brought together
into a complete, decisively
powerful Soviet ICBM sys
tem in the near future, just
as all the Polaris components
wUl be brought together in
the near future in the George
Washington.
These doubts about the na
tional estimates do not reflect
on the C.I-A., which only
claims to produce informed
estimates, not gospel truth.
These doubts reflect, rather,
on the use the Administration
is making of the estimates.
Just this is the crucial
point. The National Intelli
gence Estimates may be cor
rect to the last decimal. Pray
God they are. But they-may
also be wrong by a consider
able margin. If the estimates
of Soviet ICBMs are wrong,
even by a very narrow mar
gin, the error can be fatal.
Basically therefore, it is not
merely foolish, it is really
criminal, to use the National
Estimates as precision instru
ments which show HOW
LITTLE we need to do. Com
mon prudence demands insur
ance against error in the
ICBI.l estimate.
The national interest de
mands measures, such as the
airborne alert, to end the to
tal vulnerability of the Amer
ican deterrent. And sound
practice demands that the use
of mere estimates as precis
ion instruments be abandort
ed and condemned, as wholly
pernicious and improper.

Tenure Supported
To the Editor: Your recent

teachers has come to our at

answer of former Governor
Charles A. Sprague in "The
Oregon Statesman" and are
aware of his very strong stand
for the support of the protec
tion of school personnel.
A properly administered
and supervised tenure pro
gram is a very healthy thing.
Teachers come under the scru
tiny of pupils, parents, citi
zens at large, school board
members and administrators.
No professional group lives
in such a f ishbowl atmosphere.
Teaching is a creative act
and teachers must feel free to
express themselves and to
live in an atmosphere which
is charged with freedom. This
is difficult for people who

Today & Tomorrow
By Walter
DEFEATISM
At his press conference
last week the President re
plied to his critics who are
saying that
we are behind
Soviet Union
At the end, in
response to a
que stion by
V wJ I Mr- Edw ard
VS A-1J p- Morgan, he
v? , 31 went bevond
the technical
Walter argument,
j.
, Lippmann about the
missile gap and deterrent
power to his own philoso
phical attitude towards the
rivalry of the two strongest
world powers, the Soviet
Union and ourselves.
Mr. Eisenhower's philoso
phy, if I understand correct
ly his impromptu remarks,
is that our security is not in
jeopardy and that if the So
viet Union is moving faster
than we are in the develop
ment of certain elements of
national power, that is to be
expected and must be accept
ed. For, said Mr. Eisenhower,
"let's remember that dictator
ships have been very ef
ficient." If we must , achieve
a "greater tempo" in our de
velopment of national power,
we shall have to "take our
country and make it into an
armed camp and regiment it
and get people steamed
up like you did in wars. '
After that explanation of
why we have fallen behind,
Mr. Eisenhower delivered
little- lecture on how we
should think and talk more
about the "values . . . which
we do believe'-namely "our
own individual freedoms and
rights." He went on to say
that "our people ought to
have greater faith in their
own system." By tnis ne
seemed to mean that the
critics who think our de
fenses are inadequate and the
critics who say that we are
neelecting our children and
not keeping up with the needs
of our population, have less
faith than he has in our "sys
tem." .
-
WITH all due respect, Mr.
Eisenhower is mistaken.
It is he who lacks faith in
our system. It'is he who is
saying that we cannot meet
the Soviet challenge without
changing our system and giv
ing up our freedom. It is he
who is telling the country
that it cannot afford to meet
the needs of our rapidly grow
ing andj increasingly urban
ized population. It is he who
is saying" that with a 500 billion-dollar
economy, the Am
erican nation will lose its
freedom if it devotes to pub
lic purposes a somewhat larg
er share than it does today.
It is he who is saying that
our system of liberty is so
fragile that it is not tough
enough and durable enough
the personal approach better
than Khrushchev, and it may
be assumed one of the tasks
he has assigned himself is to
offset as much as possible the
good will generated by the
President's tour.
As a speaker he also knows
the value of a catch phrase.
Eisenhower had a good one
and he used it over and over
in hammering home his theme:
"Peace and friendship in
freedom."
Khrushchev, with at' least
one count against him in
India, will find that one hard
to beat.
In India, Khrushchev is op
erating against the rankling
room to understand. But if
tenure is bad for the educa
tion of boys and girls, I would
be the first one to agree with
you that it should go.
No studies that I know of
condemn a properly adminis
tered and supervised tenure
program as being bad for the
education of boys and girls.
On the other hand, it has re
leased the energies and ini
tiative of teachers to provide
a better education program.

Misquotation Alleged
To the Editor: For the rec
ord I would like to point out
an error in a news story in
Lippmann
to keep up the pace in the
great contest of national pow
er.
Again, with all due respect,
he has sunk into, he has re
signed himself to, an attitude
of defeatism in which there
is no faith that our people
have the will, the energy,
the resourcefulness, and the
capacity, to close ranks, if
they are summoned to make
a greater effort.
Mr. Eisenhower is talking
like a tired old man who has
lost touch with the springs
of our national vitality.
rPHE doctrine which the
President holds, the doc
trine which determines his
budget, his program, and his
preaching to the nation is, in
the perspectve of the world
struggle, a most dangerous
doctrine.
The central issue of the
world struggle is whether the
Soviet system or a liberal
system can deal best with
the problems that beset man
kind. In that struggle we shaU
surely lose if we tell the world
that, though we have the
richest economy in all his
tory, our liberal system is
such that we cannot afford
a sure defense and adequate
provision for the civil needs
of our people.
If that doctrine goes out
into the world, unchallenged
and unrefuted here at home,
Mr. K. will have the ball
which we will have fumbled.
We can talk to the end of
time about how much we
love liberty in such a way
that we cannot keep our place
in the world, they will look
for- guidance and for exam
ple to Moscow and not to
Washington.
VET the President's defeat
ism has no objective jus
tification. The virtues of our
system of society are not in
separably tied up with the
Revenue Act of 1954 or with
a philosophy of government
which, when the President
explains it, regards the Fed
eral government as at best a
necessary evil.
The Federal government is
no doubt wasteful, and
clumsy, and inflated with
bureaucracy, and not wholly
immune to the payola. But
the Federal government is
not a necessary evil to be
talked down to. The Federal
government is an indispen
sable good which must be
held to account and be criti
cized but with respect and ap
preciation.
For when we talk about
our freedoms and our rights,
we should not forget the next
sentence in the Declaration
of Independence which says
"that to secure these rights
governments are instituted
among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent
of the governed."

reported that a representative
of the college had stated by
telephone that Southern Ore
gon College would use such a

games except, perhaps, for
homecoming. I remarked that
if this happened we probably
wouldn t play the homecom

of the limited facilities.

Lincolniana
To the Editor and the Peo
ple of America: Seems like we
choose to wait till the birth-
anniversary of Lincoln is well
nigh upon us, and of late
years not even then, before
we recall the time-proven
guide- posts established by
him a hundred years ago, or
less. They have to do with
the 'so-whaf flouting of law
and order today, the offend
ers going more or less scot-
free by use of smart members
of the legal profession resort
ing to technical loop holes in
our laws.
With litUe of school-learning
but highly self educated,
Lincoln was noted for win
ning of law-suits he accepted
as well as those he rejected.
Like the time he said to a
would-be client, "No, I. cannot

Union has poured millions
into India and presumably is
prepared to spend more.
Here again, however, th
United States was first with
its announced intention this
year of stepping up its own
economic aid to India.
In Kabul. Afghanistan,
Khrushchev will be on friend
ly ground. Eisenhower re
ceived a tremendous ovation
there, but Afghanistan, while
technically neutral, is peril
ously close to the Russian
orbit.
Visits to Burma and Indo
nesia will be mainly fence
mending.
They will be delicate areas
for Khrushchev because they
lie well within what Red
China regards as its own
sphere of interest.
. Khrushchev has visited
Burma before but this time
will be shortly after an elec
tion in which the Burmese re
affirmed their democracy and
eliminated the Communists as
a factor in public office. The
government of newly-elected
Premier U Nu is anti-Communist,
although it maintains
good relations with Red
China.
It is in Indonesia that Khru
shchev may play best the role
of peacemaker. Indonesia and
Red China are in the midst
of a smouldering quarrel over
Indonesia's determination to
uproot so-called "overseas"
Chinese businessmen there.

my conscience would be con
stantly yelling, 'Abe Lincoln

not take that chance.
Since there is a growing
scarcity of Lincoln sayings in

intention, if privileged to do
so, to include his sayings in
letters to the editor or other
media that may give clearer
understanding to events of the
