MO DOG HOUSE
London -TCPD- A woman has
refused to rent a house here
because it doesn't have an
extra bedroom . for her dog,
the Djly Mail reported today.
Daring in Salem
Few people have accused Salem of being a
daring town.
And yet : it has the most beautiful state
capitol in : the nation ; a capitol mall which is
striking and will become more so as the master
plan is followed out; it built one of the first down
town motels on the west coast; it has the widest
streets of any major Oregon city.
And now, as in answer to the people who say
that daring and imagination are what is needed
to save America's "downtowns," plans have been
announced for a new downtown office building
that, for a town Salem's size, is an eye-opener.
-j i . w w w
THE building, ;as announced by its planners,
will be constructed on a full downtown block.
Not a vacant block, mind you, but a block which
now has some of the city's most prosperous firms.
The existing buildings will be razed to make
way for the six-story, $8 million new one, which
will have off-street automobile parking area built
right inside it. .
Many. of the firms now in the block plan to
retain space in the new building.
It; isn't a" " pipe-dream, either. Options have
been secured on all property in the block except
one piece, and that is owned by Montgomery
tt r t o 1 . 1 11 i
wara & LpO., wnicn is cooperating in me project.
If all goes well, the existing buildings will
be torn down and work started during 1960.
....
MOW a plan such' as
daring (although it
also takes vision and imagination.
We hope the promoters', supplies of these
scarce commodities hold out, and that they create
as they well could a building of beauty and
t , l T 1 1 J i
drama; not just a commercial dox, put a unique
and style-setting building. s
If they do this they will prove that money,
enterprise and. commercial know-how are not
necessarily at odds with
portant, this could well become the forerunner
of other such imaginative plans for other small
fo medium sized towns throughout the nation,
proving that "downtown" isn't on the way out
at all not when vision and courage are com
bined. E.A.
And in Roseburg?
To read of a plan such as that proposed in
Salem makes one wonder what, after all, Rose
burg is going to do about the opportunity so
tragically presented last August 7, when an ex
plosion leveled a good portion of the downtown.
Perhaps this, opportunity will be seized on;
or, as it is begining to appear, it will be haggled
away by lack of cooperation and visionary
imagination, backed by the hard work necessary
to bring it to a reality E.A.

Cleanse Thyself
To the Editor: Since the
Lord commands all of us to
prove all things, and to make
full proof of our ministry,
what greater proof can any
one have than God's word?
Eternal destruction is just
as long as eternal life, so that
subject is not trivial nor un
important, and should be
given serious consideration by
all.
Since our flesh profits us
nothing, and since our natural
or carnal minds are not sub
ject to God's law, and cannot
be, we cannot depend on our
own natural (carnal) minds.
God and His word tells us
all to cleanse ourselves of all
filthiness of the flesh and
spirit both.
By nature all are the chil
dren of wrath. God's people
are commanded to not walk
as others do in the vanity of
their mind. Why? If we love
the world and worldly things,
God's love is not in us. If we
live in earthly pleasures we
are dead in sins while . we
live. Why? '. ' " '
The friendship with the
world is enmity to God. Whe
whole world lies in wicked
ness, and its works are evil.
Jesus was hated because he
said this. And Christians are
promised the same hatred.
. Why do Christians warn the
sinners and unconverted? If
they see others sin and do not
tell them, God will permit
them to die in their sins. But
will require the sinners blood
at the Christians hands. So
Christians have no choice but
to warn others. Their warn
ings should be appreciated
and obeyed, for it is their
souls at stake, not the Chris
tions', if they warn them.
The Old Testament is for
patterns and examples to
show us to not walk as they
did then. The woman shall
not wear that which pertain
eth to a man, neither shall a
man put on a woman's gar
ment: for' all the things that
are highly esteemed among
men are an abomination to
God.
Shorts and bobbed hair
pertain to men, so the Lord
has many abominable people
and conditions to look upon.
The abominable will not enter
heaven.
One can and does commit
sin just by looking upon oth
ers to lust after them. So if
nudists and semi nudists look
good to the opposite sex, they
have already committed sin.
God cursed Canaan for look
ing upon his fathpr Noah's
nakedness, so it is worse to
look upon the opposite sex.

Another Brave Soul!
To the Editor: Speaking of
the letter that Jerry Ander
son wrote to communications
last Friday, evidently he is a
teenager and not a very ex
perienced driver, or else he
wouldn't be judging aU wo
men by perhaps one or maybe
a few.
How about those teenragers
"gawking around" as he calls
it? It's my opinion that if they
were a little stricter in issu
ing drivers' licenses to teen
agers the streets would be a
lot safer. A 17 or 18-year-old
should have the ability to
think, but do they?
I can name three different
times that if I hadn't had the
ability to think I would have
had some bad accidents. These
other three drivers were men.
No, they weren't gawking
around; they just weren't
looking at all. So I suggest
that you observe drivers a

"Living Foods"
To the Editor: This is a fur
ther comment on "living
foods," as advocated by those
of us who believe, they are far
better and more healthful
than those which were ferti
lized, and which contain addi
tives of various sorts.
Breads should be from
freshly ground . high protein
whole grains free from chem
icals. Such breads have a de-
liciols wholesome flavor.
They contain the wheat germ
so ricn in-vitamin J so im
portant for muscle . strength
and heart health. Grinding
one's own flour and making
one's own bread is best. But
both such bread and flour
Can be purchased locally. The
use of such bread is the
simplest and easiest' way to
improve health through diet.
Cereals should be ground
at home if possible. Excellent
whole grain cereals can be
bought at health stores. Mix
tures of three or more whole
grain cereals are most pal
atable and very nutritious.
Fruits should be eaten raw
or frozen. Canned fruits lose
all their enzymes and many
of the vitamines. Dried fruits
should not be frozen or treat
ed with sulphur. If commer
cial canned fruit is used avoid
sweetened fruit for usually in
ferior grades of glucose is
the sweetening agent. Avoid
fruit coated with wax or
plastic. Tree ripened fruit
from trees growing in good
mineral rich soil and spray
free has the best flavor, food
value and keeping qualities.
Vegetables should come
from mineral-rich, organically
fertilized soil, and unsprayed
plants. These should be eaten
raw whenever possible. To
cook use stainless steel, a
minimum amount of water
over low heat, and cook only
until tender. Do not salt when
cooking, as this draws out
juices. Well grawn vegetables
need no salt. Use left over
juice or cooking water in
soups, gravies, or drinks. Eat
something raw with every
meal. Lady Eve Balfour says
that 50 per cent of every meal
should be raw.
Fats and oils are important
for building tissues and carry
ing the fat-soluble vitamins.
Cold pressed oils contain all
the natural food values. Hy
drogenated fats contain no
lecithin which is the emulsify
ing fact or which prevents
cholesterol formation.
Sugar. Avoid refined sugar
as it provides no nutrients
other than carbohydrates. Its
over-use is a 'contributing
cause of dental caries, dia
betes, rheumatism, over
weight, and growth disturb
ances. Foods rich in sugar de
rtroy the appetite for other
more valuable foods.
Honey is a natural sweet
rich in food values. Avoid
honey that has been heated,
and filtered when extracted.
Use in place of sugar as much
as possible.

Matter of Fact
REAL WAUSAU STORY
Wausau, Wise. - A local
insurance company has long
had the habit of telling the
country "t h e
W a u s a u
story" in its
a d v ertising.
They rightly
-f i say tnat this
is the kind
iTI ui pieasani m-
it is i,ood to
Joseph alsop bring ud a
family. But for political buffs,
the real Wausau story con
cerns the remarkable vigor of
the Republican revival.
Such, at any rate, is the
final conclusion reached by
this reporter and his brother
Stewart. We came out here for
several days of rather bleak
pavement-pounding and door
bell ringing, in order to get a
line on Wisconsin's crucial
Democratic primary contest
between Senators John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts and
Hubert H. Humphrey of Min
nesota. We were not looking,
except incidentally, for point
ers on the comparative stand
ing of the two parties.
We have just completed 5ur
last round of wintry polling
in Wausau city, on Edwards
and Ruder and Fairmont and
Emmerson and other similar
streets. Here industrial work
ers and insurance company
personnel and other business
men and salesmen live, cheek-
by-jowl, in small comfortable
houses so alike that you nev
er know whether the door
will be answered by a junior
executive or a factory hand
Here are the streets of Mr
and Mrs. Average-Citizen-of-
Wausau.
:
rrHESE streets that we trav-
ersed for many long, fin
ger-nipping hours had good
news for Senator Kennedy
and bad news for Senator
Humphrey. Among the coun
try people we polled on an
earlier day, Kennedy had a
comfortable lead in the group
that intended voting in the
Democratic primary. In the
same group in our Wausau
sample, Kennedy led Hum
phrey even more widely, by
almost 2 to 1. But in these
streets of Wausau, as in the
would like to express my
point of view.
I can see that this person
thinks that the advertisements
on television are too long and
there are too many. This is
taking a narrow point of
view.
Advertisements are the life
of our television todav. and
truly without them we would
have no television. Commerc
ials may be relatively lone
and are propagandizing the
American people, but to sell
a product they must put it
over in a bis way. as thev do
in advertisements on televis
ion. '
I don't auite see how the
person that wrote the letter
can see how commercials are
a "half-nelson" affair. Adver
tisements in their substantial
form are relatively fulfilling
their ultimate purpose. Like
wise we are able to watch
television today. ,
If people are so diseusted
with television advertise
ments, we will probably some
day see "pay television" in
Medford. This may be the
only alternative for television
commercials.

A Halo?
To the Editor: I sure would
like to see your Mr. Bulman.
I'm sure from reading his let
ters he must have a halo, long
flowing beard and long hair.
I can t even imagine how
he must dress, as he doesn't
believe in personal pride. In

to behold. -

if they would make a dent in

By Joseph Alsop
farm homes of Marathon coun
ty, the best news of all was
the news for Vice President
Richard M. Nixon.
This news for Nixon is more
dependable, too, than the
news for Kennedy. In poll
ing, the indication of the
trend is the main thing. In
other words, if people tell you
how they voted the li.st two
times, and if they then indi
cate a preference in the next
election, you can get onto
fairly firm ground with a rela
tively small sample.'
In the present case, of
course, there were no previ
ous elections that could be
used as measures of our sam
ple's straw vote in the Demo
cratic primary. But the for
tunes of Vice President Nixon
could be rather accurately
measured by the election of
1956, when Wisconsin gave a
big majority to President Ei
senhower, and by the election
of 1958, when Wisconsin sent
the Democrat, Senator Prox
mire, to the Senate. These
measures, astonishingly
enough, showed Nixon in 1960
even stronger in Wausau than
Eisenhower in 1956.
rpo GET down to hard fig---
ures, we polled 68 people,
of whom 16 were non-talkers,
or non-voters, or amiably be
wildered housewives who'
"just had to wait for the Mis
ter." Of the 52 articulate poli
ces, 18 intended to vote for
Vice President Nixon in the
oncoming primary. Two, both
Catholics, were unsure wheth
er they would vote for Nixon
or Senator Kennedy. One, a
Lutheran, was unsure wheth
er he would vote for Nixon
or Senator Humphrey. Eleven
Were in the. straight "don't
know" column.
. But Kennedy got 12 sure
primary votes as against only
7 for Humphrey. The Ken
nedy lead was therefore im
pressive among the certain
voters in the Democratic pri
mary. Much more impressive,
however, was the table of
these same polices' past vot
ing records and present par
ty preferences. In 1956, in
brief, 28 had voted for Eisen
hower; 12 had voted for Adlai
Stevenson; and 11 had not
voted. In 1958, in sharp con
trast, 24 had voted for Sena
tor Proxmire; only 12 had
voted for Proxmire's Repub
lican opponent, Judge
Steinle; and 16 had not
voted.
A S OF NOW, in still sharp-
pr rnntrast 90. nf mir nnll-
ees would vote for Nixon for
the Presidency against Sen
ator Kennedy. Another 13
would vote for Kennedy, and
10 do not know how they
would vote. Nixon would, do
even better against Senator
Humphrey, with 32 voting for
him, 13 choosing Humphrey
decidedly, and only 7 in the
"don't know" column. The
Nixon-Humphrey trial" heat
was roughly typical, in turn,
of the other trial heats we ran.
between the Vice President
and Adlai Stevenson, Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas,
and Senator Stuart Symington
of Missouri.
What gives significance and
point to these figures is the
large number of our pollees
who sandwiched Democratic
votes for Proxmire between
their votes in 1956 for Eisen
hower and their preference
for the yice President today.
Without those intervening
Proxmire votes you could dis
miss the sample as unrepre
sentative. With those Prox
mire votes, the sample means
that here in Wausau, at any
rate, the Republicans are in
astonishingly good shape at
the moment.
One more, fact remains to
be recorded. Our sample di
vided into 29 Protestants, 21
Catholics, and two persons
without religious affiliation -
which means that it was not
weighted in Kennedy's favor.

NUCLEAR TESTING
The explosion in the Sahara
Desert, which showed that
French science and technology
are as good as anyone else's,
is notice to all of us that there
is no monopoly and not much
mystery about nuclear weap
ons. What France can do to
day, China will be able to do
tomorrow, not to speak of
Germany and Japan. This
would not necessarily mean
the end of the world. But it
will certainly mean that as
the test explosions are multi
plied, the air will become pol
luted, and the consequences to
future generations are hor
rible to contmplate.
For 14 months the U.S.S.R.,
the U.K., and the U.S.A. have
been negotiating a treaty de
signed o put an end to test
explosions. These negotiations
have progressed marvelously,
and they represent something
quite new and unexpected in
the relations, between the
Soviet Union and the West
ern world.
To be sure the three of us,
who now have nuclear weap
ons, cannot impose our treaty,
even if we reach final agree
ment, on the rest of the world.
But if- we are agreed on a
treaty, we' shall set an ex
ample, we shall create the
machinery, around which
world opinion will surely
rally. There is little reason to
doubt that France, for ex
ample, if her rights are re
spected, would join in and
contribute valuable help in
making the test ban workabre.
VTET for the time being the
npuntinHnnc ar ctallp
The issue arises o"t of exper
iments conductc:! by the
Atomic Energy ; Commission
in a salt mine in Louisiana.
These experiments showed
our experts that relatively
small underground explosions
cannot be detected by the ex
isting instruments. They can
not surely be distinguished
from earthquakes.
Our difference with the
Soviet Union is over the size
of the underground explosions
which can be detected. Our
experts say that the under
ground explosion can be
nine times as big, and still go
undetected, as the Soviet ex
perts say it can be.
The Administration has
taken the position that we
will not agree to abandon
underground explosions if our
experts say they are too
small to be detected. We pro
pose, therefore, to - authorize
such small nuclear testing.
As it happens, these author
ized explosions would be just
the ones which the Atomic
Energy Commission and the
Pentagon regard as desirable
in order to perfect a number
of weapons they are -working
on. The Soviet position, on
the other hand, is that all
tests must be banned, even
those which . cannot be de
tected. rriHE abstract logic of our
-1- position-ban only what can
surely be detected-is perfect
in itself. But there is very
good reason to think that it is
unrealistic and that if we
hold to it inflexibly, refusing
to work out any one of the
many compromises which are
quite conceivable, it will
prove to be quite an unwise
position. For it is based on the
assumption that no treaty is
better than an imperfect
treaty.
I think this assumption is
miscalculated. -

spection system, of which a
large number of stations,
manned by foreigners, would
be on Soviet territory. In the
perspective of Russian, not to
speak of Communist, suspi
cion and dislike of foreigners,
the Soviet concessions prom
ise a political breakthrough
of historic significance.
OUR policy-makers have not,
it seems to me, taken in
to account the full conse
quence of the Soviet conces
sions. It is that the Soviet Union
is by way of convincing most
of the world outside this coun
try that it is sincere about
ending nuclear testing. We
have been told by the experts
of the Atomic Energy Com
mission not to worry about
fallout. But mankind is terri
fied by it, and the Soviet
Union is buying world sup
port by agreeing to be in
spected by foreigners in order
to end the testing.
The President and his ad
visors should bear this in
mind when they talk about
resuming our own testing. The
President has said that "we
consider ourselves free to re
sume nuclear testing" but that
we shall not resume it with
out announcing our intention
to do sc.
What does the President
think would happen if he did
announce such an intention?
There would be an uproar
around the world. Quite
competent and cool observers
believe that the uproar would
bring about a special meeting
of the General Assembly of
the United Nations to protest
against our action, and that if
the question were put to a
vote, we should be lucky to
get ten votes out of eighty.
I
N any event the damage to
prestige would be enormous.
Moreover, and this is the
point that the Administration
should not overlook, if the
treaty fails because it Is not
totally perfect, the Soviet Un
ion will have won a sweeping
diplomatic victory. The Soviet
Union will not have to admit
foreigners to carry out in
spection on her territory. At
the same time the United
States will not really be free
to continue testing. For the
more we test, the more we
shall be denounced and op
posed as having failed to show
a decent respect for the opin
ion of mankind.
When these negotiations
started, the Russians wanted
to ban testing without any In
spection. If we hold inflex
ible to our present position,
there is likely to be no treaty,
and the Russians will get for
nothing most of what they
wanted in the first place.
They will have no inspection
and they will have made it
almost impossible for us to
do much testing.
