History from the files of The
Mail Tribune 10, 20. 30, 40
and 50 years ago.
President Eisenhower today departed in a
direction traveled by few of his predecessors.
Only President Franklin D. Roosevelt in office
made a comparably extensive tour of Latin
America, and that was almost a quarter of a cen
tury ago.
The earlier Roosevelt and President Taft had
inspected Panama in 1906 and 1910 respectively.
President Coolidge on Jan. 16, 1928, had address
ed the Sixth Pan-American Conference, which
was held in Havana. Herbert Hoover did make
an extensive tour in November, 1928, but only
as President-elect. His itinerary included Argen
tina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Equa-
dor, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, and Uruguay.
THE second Roosevelt sailed from Norfolk on
spoke at a joint session of the Congress and Su
preme Court of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 27,
and addressed the opening session of the Inter
American Conference for the Maintenance of
Peace at Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Dec. 1. He
was the guest of the Republic of Uruguay in Mon
tevideo on Dec. 3, and 12 days later landed at
Charleston, S.C.
President Tinman visited Mexico City in
March, 1947, and Rio de Janeiro the following
September. President Eisenhower previously has
crossed the border for a Mexican festival in Oc
tober, 1953, attended the Presidents' Conference
in Panama in July, 1956, and visited President
Adolfo Lopez Mateos of Mexico at Acapulco m
mid-February, 1959.

TOE PRESIDENT has two aims. The White
House reports his hopes that his visit will
"publicly reflect his deep interest in all the coun
tries of the JMew World" ana "encourage iurener
development of the inter-American system, not
only as a means 01 meeting tne aspirations 01
the peoples of the Americas but also as a further
example of the way all peoples may live in peace
ful cooperation."
The visit also reflects a new concern for Latin
American opinion that has characterized U. S.
policy since the unpleasantness that met Vice
President Nixon on his tour south of the border
almost two vears aero. While there is no lormal
connection with the Eisenhower mission, similar
concern is demonstrated by Latin American stu
dies of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
a just completed tour by a Senate Interstate and
Foreign Commerce group headed by Sen. George
A. Smathers (D-Fla.), and a recent study of Latin
American aid programs by a House Foreign Af
fairs subcommittee.
ATIN AMERICAN desires for more economic
security are beginning to be partly satisfied
bv the new Inter-American Development Bank,
created under an agreement of Aug. 8, 1959,
which the United States was the first to ratify.
When all subscriptions are met by September,
1962 the bank will have a capitalization oi $i
billion.
Of this. $850 million will be for hard loans,
$150 million for" a Fund for Special Operations.
The United States will contribute 41 per cent of
the whole. But, rightly or wrongly, to many
Latinos who have watched this nation pour goods
and treasure into European recovery and develop
ment programs elsewhere throughout the world,
even this much seems veiy little and very late.

Cutting Air Fares
Lower fares for passengers on international
airlines flights is the expected result of a special
meeting of the International Air Transport As
sociation's traffic conference to be held Tues
day, Feb. 23, in Paris. Some of the earners have
hinted that if there are no reductions by negotia
tion, they'll wage a rate war when present fare
agreements expire on March 31.
Representatives of 90 airlines flying the flags
of 50 nations met at the regular I.A.T.A. traffic
conference last October at Honolulu but were not
able to agree on fares to be charged on many of
the world routes. The I.A.T.A. at its annual meet
ing, in progress at Tokyo during the same period,
issued a statement expressing "the greatest regret
and disappoinment" over the Honolulu confer
ence's failure to vote lower fares.
THHE conflict is between the big jet operators,
which want to reduce fares, and the compa
nies without jets, which have wanted to keep
charges higher on the new faster service until
they were able to get competitive aircraft. Much
of this conversion now has been accomplished
and some industry sources expect the Paris meet
ing to eliminate jet surcharges, which reach $20
to $30 on long international flights.
Prospective world travelers can draw some en
couragement from one agreement that the Hon
olulu rates conference did reach. Airlines flying
between Paris and London will be permitted, ef
fective April 1, to reduce the regular tourist rate
during the off-peak hours (11 p.m. to 8 a.m.) on
certain flights by 39 per cent. The present round
trip tourist rate is $44.60. E.R.R.
ONE THING GOING
Washington - The Republi
cans will have one thing go
ing for them in the presiden-
tial campaign
wiuuu, in uie
words of the
Broadway
theater, is
"strictly
hokey." What
is "hokey" is
i m p o s s ibly
o I d-fashioned
and very far
William S.
wmte from cool"-
cool meaning sharp and up-to-
date.
This small and dusty but
sturdy and traditional polit
ical weapon is the decennial
census. This national count ot
noses will begin April 1. It
will provide a great deal of
useful information for busi
ness and industrial planning.
Moreover, it will gather up
the population statistics on
which to determine congres
sional reapportionment with
in the states. Some areas
which have shrunk in popu
lation in the past 10 years
will lose congressional seats.
Others will gain them .
All these results of the 1960
census, however, will be only
the frosting on the cake. Po
litically, the cake itself lies
in the fact that the Republi
cans will control 170,000 tem
porary and non-civil service
jobs, making up a patronage
slice worth $45,000,000 in pay
rolls. It will be the biggest
census outlay in history.
NOT since 1940 has a decen
nial census fallen in the
presidential election year.
Thus, the Republican politi
cians, mainly representatives
and senators, will have avail
able for handing out to the
faithful enough short-term
positions to make a good
many little people very
happy.
Nobody, to be sure, is go
ing to get rich working for
the census for four or five
months. The highest pay
that for supervisor-will be
$500 a month. All the same,
many men and women, partic
ularly in rural communities,
love to go about as officials
of the United States govern
ment asking questions of their
neighbors. It gives them a
status beyond money.
This surviving example of
old "spoils system" is at
tractive to other people for
other reasons. It is like hear
ing again a brass band con
cert on the courthouse square.
Vividly, and nostalgically, it
recalls the gaslight era of
long ago when the census
man, in the little towns of
this correspondent's own
memory at least, was a pretty
big shot.
NOW, because all this is part
of the game, some of the
more excitable Democrats
are howling about the dread
ful political advantage the
census will give to the Repub
licans. Howling is standard
operating procedure. Just 10
years ago, when the census
was in Democratic control,
the Republicans were
solemnly protesting the Demo
cratic monkeyshines then go
ing on.
Len Hall of New York, then
a Republican member of con
gress and later chairman of
the GOP national committee,
deplored the "open recruit
ing" of census-takers at a
democratic rally in Wis
consin. There isn't much
doubt he was telling the plain
truth then. And there isn't
much doubt that much the
same thing will go on this
time under GOP control.
Sermon Without Words
To the Editor: This Sermon
Without Words from "Lav-
man's Voice" may tie in with
recent scripture quotations
appearing in Communications
the last few days.
SERMON WITHOUT WORDS
Big Bill was humble and
quiet
And very slow of speech,
But he touched the hearts
of several
His pastor couldn't reach
Because he lived the sermon
He knew he couldn't preach.

fF course, the
u would be
Republicans
in a bad way
indeed if it really were true
that the difference between
defeat and victory in Novem
ber lay solely in 170,000
census people. The jobs will
amount to something polit
ically, all right, but they
could hardly be decisive in
any circumstances.
There is in this census, how
ever, one genuine and basic
political opportunity. It is
open to young men and
women who would like to be
professional politicians. Any
youngster who can wangle
local control of these census
jobs-say through an elderly
and friendly congressman
who isn't too keen about tak
ing the trouble to hand them
out himself-can build him
self the core of a political or
ganization by which he him
self might one day go to con
gress. There isn't any better way
for a young man to start.
And this political counsel is
here offered absolutely with
out charge.

Planning Ahead
To the Editor: Congratula
tions on the excellent editor
ial ("On Good - Neighborli
ness") which appeared in the
Jan. 20 edition of the Med
ford Mail Tribune. My wife's
parents in Medford mailed us
a copy several weeks ago, as
well as subsequent clippings
showing your community's
growing awareness of the
value of far-sighted planning.
For the same reason that a
citizen carefully plans and
budgets for his home before
investing his money and his
family's future in a lot and
house, so should a city con
sider the importance of plan
ning tailored to fit the pres
ent and future needs of that
particular municipality. Al
though change and growth
can often benefit a city, im
minent change also demands
a responsibility to be met by
farseeing, compreh ensive
planning, taking into consid
eration numerous complex
factors. Recommendations for
streets, parks, zoning, schools,
water supply and sewage dis
posal are but a few of the ele
ments which must be support
ed by factual data justifying
them and their cost. Conclu
sions as to the probable char
acter of future growth, and
the extent and kind of its re
quirements must be based on
thorough population, eco
nomic, and land use studies.
The experiences of large
and small communities
throughout the nation have
proven that the cost to a com
munity of having a sound
planning program will be
realized over and over again
in the savings which accrue
to a community because of
competent advance planning,
mutually developed by re
sponsible citizens and profes
sional planners.
Best wishes to you and the
Valley community for con
tinued success in your growth
and progress. If our firm can
be of any assistance to you,
please call upon us at your
convenience.

to it, but those who do have
no more time for the Bible as
God's word than they have
for Li'l Abner. The NCC de
liberately translated the latest
Revised Version of the Bible
to evade the Divinity of
Christ and play it down.
In the 1930's many liberal
churchmen thought Commu
nism was a good place to start
to bring in this Kingdom of
God. They accepted Russia's
Constitution of 1937, which is
more liberal than our own in
guaranteeing freedom, and
chose to believe Stalin when
he said that as soon as he
killed off the peasants who
opposed the State (over 15
million killed in about two
years) he would give these
freedoms. Now, 25 years later,
few who supported Commu
nism do so. They are trusting
the UN instead. The aim is
the same. One World in Peace
under one leader.
The Bible says they won't
make it.

In the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
In New York the other day,
Dean Edward Barrett of the
Columbia Graduate School of
Journalism, offered the inter
esting opinion that in the
average newspaper of today
the public gets too much froth
and too little substance.
Why?
Well, he says, the public
gets too much froth because
too few people WANT sub
stance. The newspaper is a
private business enterprise.
Like the grocery store or the
apparel shop, it has to give
its customers what they want.
Otherwise, they won t buy.
HE ADDS:
"In too many American
cities, the newspaper is me
diocre at best, radio news is
available chiefly in an end
less repetition of five-minute
capsules and television news
is often non-existent at norm
al evening listening hours.
"As a result, the thoughtful
citizen who seeks to be rea
sonably well informed must
make EXTRAORDINARY ef
forts to do so."

Naming The Issues
With the East-West summit
meeting still three months
away, chief spokesmen for
both sides are on the road
- President Eisenhower in
South America and Soviet
Premier Nikfta Khrushchev
touring Asia. Neither side is
losing any opportunity to
place its case before the pub
lic. As the London economist
said, "this is the time for the
statesmanlike stiffening of
terms, less to frighten the
enemy than to stifle critics at
home."
Thornton Rules on
School Tax Base
Salem - OIPD - The tax base
for an administration school
district formed under the
school reorganization law is
determined by the tax base
of the most populous district
among the districts that make
up the new one.
This opinion has been an
nounced by Attorney Gener
al Robert Y. Thornton. The
question was raised by re
organization of school districts
in Coos county.
When a new district is form
ed out of various previous
school districts, Thornton
said, the latter are "deemed
to be annexed" by the most
populous district.
If the boundaries of the
most populous district are not
expanded by the inclusion of
a union high school district,
then the old tax base of the
union high school would be
disregarded, he said.
Politics
The death of Korean Presi
dent Syngman Rhee's only op
ponent in the March 15 presi
dential election, rather than
making it a one-sided battle,
has added heat to the race.
With Rhee's age as a factor,
the vice presidential race now
is just that much more im
portant since the Koreans do
not elect president and vice
president on a single ticket.
Rhee's running mate, Lee Ki-,
Poog, is given the edge by
most observers but his op
ponents are going all out to
re-elect Vice President John
Myun Chang.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
HOWARD SMITH tells about two old golfing pals who
took the game so seriously, and worried so because
neither could break 110, that they had to consult a psycho
analyst. Lroii is sup
posed to be a relaxation,
not a cause of more ten
sion," said the analyst
"Now the next time you
play, don't use a ball.
Swing your clubs, get the
exercise, and walk 18
pleasant holes under the
sunny skies."
The two followed his
advice, and had a won
derful time for about
two weeks, comparing
imaginary scores that im
p roved steadily. Then
they came back to the
analyst, more upset than ever. "What do we do now?!" they
implored. Both of us are scoring 18 for 18 holes. We know
one of us is a liar, but we can't find out who!"

The Bible Says . . .
To the Editor: The latest
Congressional publicity stunt
concerning the Air Force Re
serve manual on Communism
and Churches contains a great
amount of truth. While the
author undoubtedly will be
court-martialled, the state
ments I read in UPI's account
are true. However, they
should not be interpreted in
the way most people would
interpret them.
The author claims the press
prints only what government
allows it to print. Regarding
national and world issues, this
is true. "Security" can cover
anything the brass find handy
to stamp. He likes this. I don't.
The present missile debate is
a good example. Only those
who resign from government
can tell the truth. Trevor
Gardner was fired in 1956 for
"violating security." He dis
agreed with his superiors. He
"leaked" information to re
porters. He had to "resign."
Others have followed and
written books they never
could in uniform. -
Liberal church leaders have
supported and in ome cases
joined the Communist party.
They did not support Com
munism as such, but saw a
means to an end. Shortly after
1900 "educated" churchmen
decided the Bible no longer
was adequate. They claimed
Science and especially Evolu
tion outdated it. Therefore, it
was no more divine than the
Medford Mail Tribune, but
had an inaccurate and dis
torted history of Israel, plus
a reasonably accurate biogra
phy of one Jesus of Nazareth
who lived and taught and was
crucified and died and stayed
in the grave. Period. End of
story.
They did approve of a few
of His teachings, however, and
took it upon themselves to
usher in the Kingdom of God
on Earth all by themselves
by just getting people to fi
nance their program through
church contributions. The Na
tional Council of Churches
carries out this program to
day. Not all churches belong
HY this situation?
Dean Barrett thinks the
fundamental reason is that
modern mankind wants acute
ly to be ENTERTAINED but
isn't too much concerned with
gaining useful knowledge.
So
He says in effect
Modern man tends to buy
those newspapers that enter
tain him and to refrain from
buying those that insist on
feeding him with a diet of
useful information. And, in
creasingly, he turns to radio
and television which feed
him entertainment with a
soup ladle and give him use
ful information with an eye
dropper. HE CONCLUDES that the
newspaper that concen
trates prime attention on re
porting and interpreting the
news has a much better
chance than the one that
strives to make entertainment
its main appeal, and adds:
"The paper that overem
phasizes entertainment values
will be in for trouble because
it is bound to fall behind
television and radio in enter
tainment values."
The point he makes is that !
entertainment is the business
of TV and radio. Reporting
and interpreting the news is
the business of the newspaper.
What he is saying to his
journalistic brethren is:
"Shoemaker, stick to your
last."
IN CONCLUSION, I'd like to
add a word. j
Dean Barrett lives in a huge i
city. He reads the newspapers j
of a huge city. Like the rest j
of us, he is inclined to be in- I
fluenced by his environment. !
The news is based on peo- '
pie - people and what they do. !
News about people we KNOW
is immensely more interesting j
than news about people we j
don't know and never even I
heard of. In our huge cities, j
people really know very few j
other people. Their acquain
tance is apt to be confined to
those with whom they are as
sociated in their day-to-day
jobs. In the big cities, people
seldom know even their next
door neighbors.
OO-
The big metropolitan news
papers can tell interestingly
only of the kind of people
whose names are known to
everybody - high society peo
ple, show people, night spot
entertainers, the criminal and
the shady type of people who
get frequently into the courts.
The kind of people who fur
nish the FLUFF in the news.
In the smaller communities,
we know all kinds of people.
Not just the people who live
in our block. Because we
know them, what they do is
NEWS to us. For this reason,
the news that is reported and
interpreted by the smaller
newspapers leans much less to
entertainment and much more
to constructive achievement.
It is MEATIER.
T'D LIKE to suggest to Dean
-Barrett that, for a while, at
least, he do more reading of
the so - called country press
and less reading of the big
metropolitans.
I think he'll find that out
in the country we print BET
TER newspapers-newspapers
with less fluff and more solid
NEWS.
New York (UPD "Catastro
phes," accidents in which five
or more persons lose their
lives, killed more than 1,400
persons in 1959, about 150
fewer than in the preceding
year, the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company reports.
Company statisticians said
the improved record for 1959
was me resuii oi ine aecreasea
number of fatalities in "ma
jor catastrophes," accidents
in which 25 or more people
are killed.
Loss of life in major catas
trophes dropped from nearly
430 in 1958 to about 175 last
year, a toll appreciably low
er than for any year since
1941.
Four Air Crashes
Four of the five major ca
tastrophes in 1959 were civil
air crashes. A plane plunged
into New York City's East
river last February, killing
65. Another plane disintegrat
ed during a thunderstorm near
Baltimore last May. taking 31
lives. A crash near Charlottes
ville, Va., in October killed
26. Twenty-five died when a
plane rammed a mountain
near Williamsport, Pa., in De
cember. The fifth major catastrophe
was a series of earthquakes
last August near West Yellow
stone, Mont., in which 29 per
sons lost their lives.
Fires Blamed
Motor vehicles were re
sponsible for about two-fifths
of the lives lost in all catastro
phes last year. Fires and ex
plosions were responsible for
about one-fourth, and civil
aviation for less than one
