The Oresronian and
Portland and Eugene respectively, disagree over
wnetner or not .President
vetoed the water pollution control bill.
The Oregonian says
it; tne (auard says the veto was a good one.
In this disagreement, the Oregonian sides
with the Izaak Walton League, the League of
Women Voters, sanitarians and conservationists
generally, and with the
committee which strongly recommended the bill
The Register-Guard
U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the other -"balance
the budget at any cost" forces.
IpHE Oregonian says:
"The President. who wants to end federal aid for
construction of sewage treatment works entirely
argues that water pollution 'is a uniquely local blight,
and should be corrected locally. We disagree. Pollution
is a national disgrace a national emergency." -
The Reeister-Guard.
with the President's veto message, which , said
in part:
"By holding forth the promise of a. large scale
program of long term federal support, it would tempt
municipalities to delay essential water pollution abate
ment efforts while they waited for federal funds."
"IXELL, what will be
Oregon?
Senator Neubeger
state sanitary authority
ing an estimated $55,d93,000, are needed to con
trol present sewage pollution of Oregon water
ways. The senator continues:
"Under the Federal grant program authorized by
Congress in 1956, the Public Health Service has al- '
lotted $2.6 million to Oregon in the last four years.
Thirty-six communities were assisted. The program au
thorizes construction grants for sewage treatment
works by cities, sanitary districts or other: public
bodies. Grants are limited to 30 per cent of construc
tion cost or $250,000, whichever is less.
"In its 1959 annual report, the State Sanitary Au
thority declared: 'In spite of these limitations, the
amounts which have been allotted each year to Oregon
have been woefully inadequate to meet aU requests. It
is hoped that Congress in 1960 will authorize increased
appropriations for this program . ; .'
". . . Congress did approve the Blatnik bill, boost
ing authorizations from $50 million to $90 million an
- nually, and increasing the limitation on individual
? projects to $450,000 ..."
This was the bill the President vetoed. The
future of federal participation in pollution con
trol is now m doubt.
CVIDENCE on the record indicates the Presi---
dent is just 180 degrees wrong in his assess
ment of the results of the program.
The Oregonian points out that the offer of
federal help has stimulated and encouraged cities
(particularly smaller ones like Ashland) to go
ahead with programs of pollution control and
sewage disposal they could not otherwise afford.
Senator Neuberger confirms this by reporting
that "since initiation of the federal water pollu
tion control program, construction of local facili
ties has increased 60 to 75 per cent over the
previous five-year average prior to the availa
bility of grants."
.
'THE Washington Post put in in a nutshell when
it said:
. . "The great virtue of the Federal program has been
that it stimulated exactly the kind of local initiative
Mr. Eisenhower admires."
So now what? With many Oregon communi
ties (even Portland) "unable to afford the kind
of sewage plants needed, help must come from
somewhere. The Oregonian forecasts:
". . . The State of Oregon will be compelled to
. appraise its future in the pollution field. The state
- has no fund to help communities meet their needs for
sewage treatment facilities. The next legislature may
have to consider entering this field. Probably, it should -do
so whether or not the federal program is continued.
."Every Oregon citizen has a big stake in ending
stream and lake pollution."
Ike goofed. E.A.
The American Earth
These columns have expressed a continuing
concern with such things as water pollution, air
pollution, planning, zoning, parks and recreation,
national parks, wilderness areas, forest manage
ment and conservation, water utilization and con
servation, soil conservation, billboard regula
tion, tree planting, city beautification, and so on.
We suspect that more than a few of our read
ers tend to get a bit weary of this. ;
All we can say in defense, if anv is needed.
is that these matters are important vitally im
portant if we are to keep the best features of
this lovely land, and develop it properly for hu
man enjoyment and living.
fHIS feeling has been
: - the; past few days by our reading of a book, a
magnificent book, which puts the whole matter
into a larger perspective. ,
Entitled "This Is The American Earth," the
volume was produced by the Sierra Club. In
pictures and in words, it tells the stoiy of how
unthinking "civilization" plunders and destroys
the things which people hold most dear.
- The volume (it costs $15, for those who can
afford it and worth every cent) is available
from the Sierra Club, Mills Tower, San Francisco.
And the public library here will have a copy soon,

What Are We To Do?
To the Editor: Is there no
help, no relief, no ordinance
or regulation ever to control
the hordes of dogs permitted
to run loose in Medford?
What are we to do? Isn't it
time we recognized the un
mitigated nuisance and filth
created by these dogs and call
a spadeful a spadeful?
Our beautiful shrubs ruin
ed, our garden hose in filth,
our shoes, the children's shoss
cannot something be done?
We keep a spade handy. But
what's to be done with the
four and five messes we clean
up daily, from under clothes
lines, the path to the garbage
can and even in our planter?
For the record, please, if
you have the courage to print
this, do not publish my name
for the same reason the Gar
den clubs refuse to do any
thing.. They're afraid of of
fending neighbors who own
these various dogs. But these
same neighbors don't seem to
care that we are constantly
offended by their lack of con
sideration by permitting their
dogs to run loose, to chase
cars, turn over garbage cans,
and relieve themselves in our
yards. .. -. , ... - ........
; So we won't be accused of
not liking dogs, we'd like to
say, too, we've always had a
dog or two until we moved
to Medford.
Our children will soon be
going barefoot. For mercy's
sake, cannot something be
done? One youngster, when
told the dog should be kept in
his own back yard, which is
all nicely fenced, said, "Oh,
we can't do that, he messes
up our yard!"
' In a recent article on the
history of Portland mention
was made of "that early time
when Portland was consider
ed a cowtown and dogs were
allowed to run loose."
It's time for Medford to
stop worrying about the feel
ings and votes of dog owners
and give some progressive
action to this overwhelming
problem. How about this, fel
low gardeners?
Some places were dog li
censes are issued as they are
in Medford, the license must
be attached to the dog at all
times, the dog must be kepc
on the owner's property and
any dog left to run astray is
impounded. Additional money
is raised by the fines paid to
get their dogs back again.
If this were written into an
ordinance here, maybe some
of these proud owners would
be forced to take better care
of their pets. :
Each one thinks his one dog
doesn't matter, but multiply
this by the dozens and we
have a terrific nuisance.

An Answer
To the Editor: Thank you
kindly for printing my letter.
Also for the Bible references
in your note. Why? It af
fords an opportunity to ex
plain more than I had plan
ned to. -
In-the remark about Ham
and Noah, it was Ham who
committed the . deed, but -it
was Ham's son, Caanan, who
was cursed. A lengthy tele
phone call on other important
things interrupted my typing
and disturbed my line of
thought. So the wrong name
was used in the quotation.
We do much gospel work over
the phone and through the
mail. So interruptions cause a
change of thought some times.
In regard to the references

amusing to see how quickly I

some can see the command in
Matthew 7:1 to judge not that
ye be not judged. But so few
read far enough to see the
command in St. John 7:24 to
judge not according to the
appearance, but judge right
eous judgment. So we are
commanded to judge as well
as to not judge. . The Holy
Ghost is sent to reprove the
world of sin, of righteousness
and judgment. This spirit
commands such people to re
buke the sinners before all,
even sharply and with all au
thority, and to rebuke the
ones who sin against us.
If we do not keep God's
commands we are liars and
the truth is not in us. Having
this spirit and power I am
not out of my place in doing
so. There seems to be so few
born again Christians that the
rest of the world cannot un
derstand their language, but
will quickly reject Gods
words and speak evil of the
Christians.
Since I included myself in
all essential things in my let
ter why should I be consider
ed as the man of Luke 18:11?
Not being guilty of fornication
or nakedness it was not neces
sary to include myself in that
Besides that I gave God's
words, not mine. So he would
be as in Luke 18:11, not my
self.
This man sat in Moses seat,
and rejected God's commands
for his own traditions. I am
not guilty of such so I could
not be he. A Christian gentle
man called me and advised
me to answer you as I had
planned to, stated you showed
approval of the evil I wrote
against by your references,
and should be answered so.

Men - Not Women
, To the Editor: I read an ar
ticle in the Medford Mail Tri
bune regarding a statement
by Gov. Hatfield on the pos
sibility, of sterilization of un
wed mothers on welfare. I
would like to ask a question,
and also say what is sauce
for the goose should be sauce
for the gander.
Question: What are the sta
tistics on how many women
are prosecuted for rape, mur
der, maltreatment, and rob
bery of the victim, incarcer
ated : for a few years, then
turned loose to lure" another
victim?
Now, sterilizing the unwed
mothers who are the victims,
often unwillingly and likely
young girls who have all of
their lives to pay for the
crime committed against
them by a man, who in many
cases is not even censured,
won't solve the problem of
birth control. For the man
goes free to father hundreds
more children if so inclined.
A woman, who takes nine
months to bear a child, cannot
even begin to populate, the
world as fast. Another thing,
many of the recipients of
welfare are extremely large
families where the father gets
tired of supporting his prog
eny and leaves them for. the
mother to care for and skips
out, or is depending on . wel
fare himself, while he is still
left free to create more such
problems. I believe steriliza
tion for the man is better
sense and more necessary
than for the woman. For her
it is a major operation, where
in she could lose her life, but
for the man it is a simple op
eration which would do him
no harm. Farmers sterilize
their male stock they do not
wish to use for breeding pur
poses. Why not sterilize the
man when he abuses privi
leges?
Since our nation is becom
ing so overstocked in popula
tion, that seems to me the.

Literary Commemoration
To the Editor: Governor
Hatfield's statesmanlike con
sideration of sterilizing un
married mothers to reduce
taxes deserves some sort of
literary commemoration. This
epic may be chanted to a

bang a slop bucket : with a

Contaminated Seas
To the Editor: In one of her
recent communications . on
natural foods, Anna Streed
mentions sea foods as prob
ably the purest remaining
source of protein. This un
doubtedly was true in a less
complicated period of human
history, but, unfortunately, it
is no longer valid for the nu
clear age in which we live.
In discussing radio-active
tuna which created such panic
in the fish markets of Japan
following U. S. bomb tests in
the South Pacific, Dr. Ralph
Lapp, American neuclear
physicist, tells in his book,
'The Voyage of the Lucky
Dragon," of the appointment
of a Japanese government
commission to make a study
of the source and extent of
the contamination of this im
portant food fish.
The Japanese marine Biol
ogists composing this com
mission discovered that of all
life forms existing in the
ocean, the plankton, those
minute organisms upon which
larger marine creatures de
pend, directly or indirectly,
for continued existence, have
the greatest capacity for ab-
sorbing . radio - active sub
stances. .
Inasmuch as such substances
as . Strontium 90 continue to
be a menace to human
life for generations, and since
the plankton rendered radio
active by our South Pacific
bomb testing program 'have
continued to be freely carried
about by ocean currents, it
seems most unlikely that any
one now living can state how '

Take the Pledge
To the Editor; "If history
has taught us anything it has
taught us that is hasn't taught
us anything."
This is the basic reality
when we squarely face the
temperance issue in our world
today. Broken homes, shat
tered hopes, and disillusioned
people are groping, yes, stag
gering along life's way as a
result of failing to profit by
our forefather's mistakes of
intemperance. Oh, why, don't
we profit from other people's
mistakes of imbibing and
smoking?
These thoughts came into
the minds of two of my
friends recently as they visit
ed an alcoholic's hovel in a
cheap hotel in a neighboring
state. A thick-tongued woman
of 50-some-odd years, a true
product of the brewers art,
was fit to be tied, yet still
grasping in her hands that
vile stuff which lowered her
mental capacity to the level
of an animal.
"Call the judge," she would
say in one breath. "No, I don't
want him," with the next.
"Pray for me," she would say
in the next, then in the mid
dle of the prayer would con
vulse into hilarious rage.
When- asked if she had any
relatives she declined to give
any information, fearing to
have the relatives find her as
such.
One could well understand
why she didn't want to see
them. Her condition was far
from the exalted image of her
Creator in which she was
made. .
Every individual wh o
claims to be a wide-awake
citizen should sign the temp
erance pledge and become a
member of the American
Temperance Society. For our
sake, for our children s sake,
for mankind's sake and for
Christ's, let us all preserve
the dignity of true manhood
and womanhood by uniting
behind the cause of true
temperance.

give you free information on
how you can have a part.

Soviet economic aid but whose
stress was upon neutrality.
Emphasises Grant
In India the final commun
ique "called attention to the
$375 million credit granted to
India by the Soviet Union last
summer and said agreement
had been reached on its use
in "major projects."
In Ineonesla, Khrushchev
signed an agreement to sup
ply Indonesia with a $250
million credit, bringing the
total such since 1956 to $368
million.
The final statement stressed
Indonesia's continuing neu
trality. In Jakarta, it was re
ported the Indonesians had
refused to include a renewed
call for the seating of Red
China in the United Nations
and also had refused to con
demn Western overseas mili
tary bases on the new U.S.
defensive alliance with Ja
pan. . . ' , . '.
There were a number of
reasons why - Khrushchev's
drum-beating attacks on the
West failed to have their de
sired effect. . .
One is that U.S. foreign aid
program has continued long
enough to convince Asians of
the United States' good in
tent. This attitude was cemented
further by President Eisen
hower's December visit to
Asia.
A second one is thai Asians
are beginning to realize that
U.S. aid has far outstripped
anything done thus far by the
Soviet Union.
There is in Asia the addi
tional -realization that the
Soviets frequently drive a
harder bargain than does the
U.S. In both India and Indo
nesia, the Soviet grants are to
be repaid in 12 years at an
interest rate of 2 per cent.
But it is usual for the
Soviets to demand payments
in goods or convertible cur
rency. The latter condition
frequently is a difficult one
for the nations involved to
meet.
Russians Said To
Have Atomic Subs
Washington - (DPD - Russia
is believed in informed circles
to have a small number of
atomic submarines ; now in
operation.
The Kremlin has never an
nounced that it has a nuclear
powered sub, presumably be
cause it wants to build up the
Soviet fleet to a more im
pressive size.
American experts who were
given a tour of the Russian
nuclear ice breaker last year
reported that the power plant
could be adapted to sub
marines. '
Reliable sources said Rus
sia also has given Red China j
a number of conventional sub
marines. In addition, the Red
Chinese have begun building
their own subs, apparently on
a small scale.

First we found that the iron
dome would begin to rust al
most as soon as the old paint
was removed. They solved
that problem by scraping off
small areas and quickly cov
ering them with a coat of anti-
rust compound.
Then we discovered that
every time we cleaned off a:
space a gang of dirty birds
would come along and nullify
our efforts. We solved that by.
draping a huge net over their
roosting place.
Things are going smoothly
now although the dome at the
moment is tri - colored, like
brick ice cream one layer
of vanillE, one layer of rasp
berry and one layer of almond
toffee.
These are the shades of the
paints being used as under
coats. Soon we will have it all
white again, for which I'll be
thankful. One more job like
this and I'd not only have the
sidewalk superintendent's oc
cupational disease - fallen
arches - but I'd have a stiff
neck as well.
