The Mai! Tribune is publishing, serially, di
gsts qf the city of Medford's annual report.
They provide en overlook of the city which
is not possible to eonvey in day-by-day report
ing, Tnis gnnugl summary is an excellent thing
xcejlent not only from the standpoint of city
workers, who can get an idea of the operation
of departments other than theirs, but excellent
also from the standpoint of the taxpayers, who
can thus see how their tax money is being spent,
(In this connection, it is interesting to note
that only about 30 per cent of the money to op
erate the city cornes directly from ad valorem
property taxes.)
THB annual report has long been a fixture in
the operation of big companies, who fine
the relatively minor expenditure well worth
while in keeping stockholders informed of the
company's operations, position, and plans.
Now comes Charles A. Sprague in his Oregon
Statesman to suggest that it would be well for
counties also to issue reports.
He points out that published budgets give
a pretty good idea of how much money is spent
by county government, and for what. But the
reason why it is spent, in what manner, is often
left as a sort of minor mystery.
He says: ' ' -
"The budget's . . . numerous statistical tables are
rather forbidding reading except to those particularly
interested in public finance. An annual report, in
pamphlet form, with descriptive text and illustrations
would make the facts and figures 'come alive.' "
heartily second his suggestion.
Wp are inclined to doubt: however, that such
an excellent suggestion
irrtrnerliatelv. and for
makes the county otherwise such an ineiiective
branch of government.
TtfnminaTlv. the fnuntv court is the admin
istrative center of county government. But, aside
from the budgeting process, it has little or no
control over the other elected officials.
And. under those circumstances, it would be
difficult to find any single county agency which
would or could undertake the chore of com
piling and publishing an annual report.
I ACKING such a report, we are looking for
" ward to seeing a finished copy cf a booklet
on Jackson county government which has been
comniled and is beinor published by the Medford
League of Women Voters.
It is an exhaustive, but well-turned-out, re
port on county government today, and includes
not onlv a renort on dav-to-dav oneratioh of the
various offices, but also attempts to put them
into historical perspective,
We have seen rreliminarv work-conies of the
renort. and. when it is

county government ever
Eight-Headed Monster
At least three of Oregon's 36 counties have
taken preliminary steps
tually, to their adopting
provisions of the constitutional amendment
passed m 1958.,
Jackson county has not yet done so, although
at least one member of the county court is an
enthusiastic advocate of home rule for Jackson
county, believing that it would eliminate much
of the division of authority and responsibility
which now makes county government something
of an anachronism.
If we understand correctly, no steps have yet
been taken pending a vote this fall on a legisla
tive measure referred to the people, to clarify the
county's bonding authority.
TPHIS may be an entirely legitimate reason for
postponing any action.
But it is no reason why responsible leaders
in the county should not be giving considerable
thought to what form of government might be
best suited to this county.
This newspaper has gone on record favoring
some type of county manager system, where an
elected, unpaid council would make policy, and
a paid, appointed administrator would be the
chief executive officer pretty much the way the
city manager system works.
1MOST of the reasons why there were at least
nine elected county officials 100 years ago,
have long since ceased to be valid.
With transportation of today, no part of the
county is veiy far from any other part
With today's communications facilities (in
cluding telephone, radio, television and news
papers) there is far less reason to have a whole
raft of autonomous officials to keep tabs on
each other.
On the other hand, an elected, representative
county council would be the "voice of the peo
ple" in county af fairs, while the executive and
administrative functions would be centralized so
that responsibility would not be diffused, and
"the buck" would no longer be passed.
Such a system may have its drawbacks (al
though they are not immediately evident to us),
but it would be well if we all were to do some
pretty basic thinking about what should succeed
the present eight-headed monster we call county
government. E. A. ..

Mudge Not
To the Editor: I just spent
the day observing, with Mr.
Bulman's views on cosmetics
in mind.
How sad it was.
I saw only two women, be
sides myself, without makeup
on. Of course, I can't claim
any credit for my lack of it.
I'm afraid it was not that I am
among the ones who are not,
as Mr. Bulman puts it, false
at heart, as long earrings dan
gled from my pierced ears. I
just plain forgot my lipstick,
and I did have my straight
hair curled.
The only conclusion I came
to was that poor Mr. Bulman
must live in a lonely little
world. Even the men bedeck
themselves with loud shirts,
neckties, tie clasp, cuff links,
rings and most of them even
stoop to shaving off their
God-given whiskers. They
must be as wicked as us
women.
I wonder if Mr. Bulman
might have told his wife:
"Ah, my dear, I fear that
everyone is queer but thee
and me, and sometimes I won
der even about thee."
However, like- Evelyn Gy-
sin, I hope he continues writ
ing his letters. It helps me to
smile. But there again I'm be
ing deceitful 'cause when I
smile my wrinkles don't
show.
As for shorts, didn't Eve
wear only a fig leaf? "
And isn't there something
about "Judge not, that ye be
not judged"?

'friend to Man'
To the Editor: Mr. Bulman's
latest letter reminds me of a
story I once heard of an attor
ney telling his partner, "We
have no case, so dodge the is
sue and attack our opponent's
character." "
What started this was two
letters Mr. Bulman wrote,
one condemning women who
wore shorts the other about
lipstick and makeup. I won't
go so far as to say that Mr.
Bulman's sins are made of
whole cloth, but beins one of
those sinners who has trouble
trying to keep the Ten Com
mandments, I was alarmed to
hear of these new sins.
How was I to know when
Mr. Bulman would come ud
with eight or ten more sins
mat would affect me, and I
would be lost without hoDe.
Thinking this I read the
Bible, then I bought one of
the latest editions, thinking
there might be a new book
entitled "The Sins of Bui-
man" but there wasn't. Mr.
Bulman is evidently takine
vain customs and fitting them
to shorts and make up. There
could be several reasons oth
er than vanity for the cus
tom. Suppose some one said,
"Mr. Bulman thinks he has a
green light on the main line
to heaven and this is vain
philosophy," he might be
wrong too. .
It s true God didn't cive us
feathers like a peacock but
He gave us the abilitv to
make our-own and I'll bet He
is well pleased at times.
When you see a beautiful
rose you think "Look what
Nature hath wrought!" But
when one of those creatures
in "shorts and make up" ap
pears you forget the rose and
think look what God and man
hath wrought!
I hope Mr. Bulman will be
satisfied with the character
of Sam Walter Foss:
Let me live in my house by
the side of the road
Where the race of men go by
They are good, they are bad,
they are weak, they are
strong,
Wise, foolish-so am I.
Then why should I sit in the

scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by

On Winter Closure
To the Editor: This is in
reference to an article on the
Rogue River winter fishing
season which was printed in
your paper recently, written
by Mr. Hank DeVoss.
It seems to me Mr. DeVoss
should get his facts straight
before he prints them in the
paper.
I don't know which one of
the guides he got his informa
tion from, but I don't know
any of the Rogue River guides
who get mpre for one river
trip than another. It seems
funny someone who lives in
Medford would know more
about the guide business than
the guides do.
One reason guides like the
winter fishing is because they
can make the short run to
Robertson bridge without hav
ing to drive their cars a hun
dred miles a day over rough
roads. By charging the same
price for all trips the guide
can take his party where the
fishing is the best without
extra cost to the customer.
During high water, fishing
conditions as a rule are poor
in the lower portion of the
river.
Last week a group of south
ern Oregon fishermen formed
a committee to draw up a
petition asking the Game
Commission for a hearing in
Grants Pass on the new Rogue
River winter regulations.
Most of the guides were at
this meeting and very much
in favor of the petition. The
petition is now being circu
lated in Grants Pass and Med
ford. It seems to me a person
whose profession is facts, such
as Mr. DeVoss, would get his
facts straight before putting
them in the paper. Mr. De
Voss must have obtained his
information from a very un
reliable source. The fact is,
that to my knowledge,' none
of the Grants Pass guides had
any say in closing the river
from the south of the Apple
gate to Hellsgate during the
winter season.

Walk, Jerry!
To the Editor: I found the
teenage observations in the
Communications column quite
interesting. I do believe it
will create quite a siege of
letter writing.
I understand their lack of
interest in some of the letters
in the past, but as a constant
reader of this particular col
umn, I find all the letters in
teresting, from the hardships
of a deserted mother to the
cougars and snake letters by
Mr. Kissinger. After all, the
column is, entiUed, "Com
munications." And it is quite
interesting to see what our
local folk feel like writing.
As for "our boy, Jerry," I
have an idea he will find it
"rough riding" for a while. To
say all women drivers are bad
is like saying all blondes are
peroxide blondes.
Let's be fair. I have always
thought our men have faster
intuitive responses while
driving. They instinctively
know why and how come,
from a mysterious noise in or
around a vehicle, to that
"Whew, we're sliding" feel
ing. I have three sons. Our 2-year-old
wheels his trike like

can out drive me any day on

Unity I
To the Editor: The recent
editorial on Lincoln, the man,
inspired me to cast aside my
usual reluctance to enter the
field of "verbal brickbats.
I have enjoyed every fea
ture of the Tribune for 15
years, especially those letters
written by thinking people in
these columns, and your edi
torials. Here is "food" for thought-
a few questions for your
readers to ponder over:
Why are there more than
30 Protestant churches? If a
nation divided (in Lincoln's
day) would fall, and, united
would stand -then why all
these divisions of the "trunk"
of our Protestant tree? I am
of the opinion that the most
important rules (as stated in
our Bible) to live by, could
be printed on two good sized
pages. Why do we need sev
eral hundred pages?
Need there be 40 different
interpretations of a simple
law like, "Love Thy Neigh
bor"? Need we have as many
different clergymen, inter
preting these simple rules? I
could list many other ques
tions - so can any thinking
person. If people will ever
join together and work to
ward worthwhile goals, we
would never need fear any
ism" like "Communism."
Let's have more of that
stuff called "teamwork."

Connally Amendment tc God
To The Editor: Walter
Lippmann's editorial in Sun
day's paper advocating repeal
of the Connally amendment
to America's treaty with the
World Court, advocates mak
ing this nation into a state of
the UN just as Oregon is a
state in the U.S.A.
The World Court would en
force UN decrees in this na
tion just as the Supreme
Court can pass decrees and
have Federal troops enforce
them in this country, such as
Little Rock in 1957. The
court would decide what was
its business in this nation, just
as the Supreme Court can
interpret interstate commerce
or welfare questions in favor
of federal control here. Amer
ica would not be a nation,
just a world state. The UN
would be supreme and could
not be questioned.
All major candidates for
President in both parties fa
vor repeal of the Connally
amendment. The American
guage as a phrase as readily
identifiable as "cold war,"
"Iron Curtain" and "massive
retaliation."
It is related to a slight, but
seemingly discernible, thaw in
the chilly relations between
the U- S. and the U.S.S.R., and
lent some hope that Khru
shchev meant it when he said
there was no world problem
that could not be negotiated,
including free Berlin, the fu
ture of Germany, disarma
ment and co-existence.
No Deadline Intended
He said he never had meant
to put a deadline on the time
1 15 female newspaper corres
pondents at lunch.
This was one of a series of
about 10 meals that Ellender
whips up during each con
gressional session for various
press, legislative and govern
mental groups.
Crab Fumes Entice
I was greeted at the door by
the enticing fumes of Louisi
ana crab meat fraternizing in
a Creole sauce with a judi
cious selection of shrimp tails.
A long table was spread
across the room in front of
the Senator's desk.
Making for the lavatory,
which Ellender has converted
into a kitchenette, I found
the cook standing over an
electric hot plate, affection
ately stirring a gumbo.
"This is a meal in itself,"
he said, and proceeded to
identify the ingredients. Be
sides the shrimp and crab,
the pot contained bacon, ham,
flour, onions, peppers, lemon,
garlic, tabasco, thyme, bay
leaves, salt, okra and parsley.
It sounded to me like
enough for two meals.
Likes Creole Dishes
As a native of Terrebonne
Parish", Ellender naturally
leans toward Creole dishes-
French cuisine with a south
ern accent. In addition to
gumbo, he specializes in jam-
balaya, chicken sauce
piquante, shrimp Creole
court-boullon and Creole pra
lines.
Short, stocky and sun
tanned, the veteran chair
man of the Senate Agricul
ture Committee made a pic
ture of domesticity in tweed
vest and rolled up shirt
sleeves as he practiced his
culinary art.
"I was up until midnight
last night making pralines
for dessert," he said.
Some of the lady journal
ists who attended the lunch
told me that when they de
parted they were more con
cerned about hip lines than
deadlines.
Bar association, representing
all lawyers in this nation, is
acting as a lobby for the in
ternationalists through 1 1 s
World Peace by World Law
campaign. Church group wo
men's discussion programs
nour out propaganda for
"study." High school social
science classes discuss it and
debate it pro and con with
material loaded in favor. If
the Great Decisions program
does not take it up this year,
it will. Most newspapers
which buy their editorials
from a service (not the Mail
Tribune) receive at least one
a month stating that repeal
of the Connally amendment
is our hope for peace, if we
throw away nuclear weapons
at the same time. Anyone
who disputes this is "reac
tionary," and not living up to
his responsibilities as a world
citizen.
The Bible tells us that in
the last days one man, the
anti-Christ, will rule the en
tire world for seven years.
We also are told that he will
be revealed before Christ's
return for the church (II
Thessalonians 2:3-12). I be
lieve it Is fairly obvious what
organizations this Beast will
use - the UN, World Court,
World Bank, and a union of
the Catholic Church and the
World Council of Churches.
I have no idea who the person
may be, but he probably will
hold the same position as the
present Pope, and rule the
whole show from this throne.
I don't expect to be around
when he takes over. Christ
has promised to take His
Church away before this
time. Christians should look
for Christ; not the Beast.
Most people who know,
think the present border dis
pute in Galilee could easily
erupt into big war. If it does,
and if Russia attacks Israel,
God will intervene. Some
time before that Christ will
return.
If only a fool believes this,
it is better than what the
World Government boys want
to cram down your throat.
They almost have it made.
Qod alone can stop them.

Since then he has clarified

So this week, with new

His message is two-fold:
The Soviet Union is "at pres

Salesman In Cuba
As Khrushchev left Moscow
Washington Report
By WILLIAM
EAST AND WEST
Washington-What really is
in Nikita Khrushchev's mind
as he prepares to meet the
Western lead
ers at the
summit in
May, and Mr.
E isenhower
alone in the
P r esident's
June visit to
the Soviet Un
ion?
Long effort
William S.
White
thoritative
to find au
and responsible
estimates from informed men,
both American and British,
produces these firm impres
sions from their private ob
servations:
Khrushchev doesn't mean
by "coexistence" what we
mean - namely and simply,
two different blocs living
side by side at peace, however
much they dislike each other.
To him coexistence means
that he does the existing, so
to speak, while we do mostly
the cooperating. His notion is
this: "What's ours in the So
viet empire is, of course, ours.
What's yours (the West's) is,
naturally, subject to debate
and further negotiation."
All this does not indicate
however, that Khrushchev is
likely to provoke war. It is
not even likely, indeed, that
he will try further to expand
his empire by force, anywhere
at all.
TJE IS determined not to risk
the destruction of the vast
industrial plant so laborious
ly and at last built up by the
Soviet Union. He knows nu
clear war would work just
that destruction.
Thus, in a highly ironical
way, he is in what could be
described as a "conservative"
position. To hang onto and to
firm up his present holdings-
most especially his industrial
holdings - is currently more
important to him than any
thought of reaching for addi
tional booty.
And though he doesn't
propose to make any real con
cession whatever to the West
any time soon, he is no long
er absolutely free of concern
lest he himself "look bad" at
home should the summit con
ference and all the rest be
total and resounding flops.
The Kremlin's slight easing
of the screw on the Russian
people, does not suggest that
the Russian people in any
basic way . can influence
Khrushchev's decisions. It

cated his whole regime to in
dustrial production. Industrial
production requires workers
who can, and will, work use
fully. They need not be happy
workers, but they must be
workers with some stake in
the future.
THIS state of affairs ordin
arily and in common sense
would press Khrushchev to
give measurable, if tiny,
ground to the West. But he
has at the same time a quite
contrary pressure from the
Chinese Communists. These
grim and faceless types, being
converts, are more Bolshevik
than the Bolsheviks. Thus,
every time Khrushchev might
think to ease his "tough" line
toward the West, a blast from
Red China warns him not to
get "too soft."
Khrushchev's "problems"
with his allies are really only
one, just as there is really
only one ally. There is Red
China. And that is that. Will
Red China ultimately let him
free himself from the exces
sively doctrinaire and danger
ously aggressive demands of
the New Communism?
The problems among the
Western allies are several.
The Western big two the
United States and Great Britain-are
divided, truly but
not angrily". The whole sum
of their division-whether over
Berlin policy of disarmament
or whatnot-comes to this: the
British are the more ready to
take chances with Moscow
than we are.
E LOOK at the British as
little too hopeful. They
look at us as a little too fear
ful and perfectionist. They
want first an agreement, on
most anything, with the Rus
sians. We want first an as
surance that any possible
agreement would in fact be
kept by the Russians.
So, what of the future?
Since the West is commit
ted firmly to negotiation, wt
must simply press on, hoping
that if this summit accom
plishes nothing, another, or
yet another, will do so. We
have got to prepare for the
worst and act for the best, as
the thing is put by a very
knowledgeable man on this
subject.
