'Odd Set
A recent contributor to the Letters to the
Editor Column complains, "What an odd set of
values we must have if we insist our schools must
avoid the slightest tax increase in spite of in
creased enrollment ..
The public's support of education doesn't
necessarily reflect its attitude towards education,
strange as that sounds. If all school districts had
to do to get financial support was to arouse pub
lic sympathy, their job would be easy. In "sell
ing" benefits for children, school districts are
offering a highly marketable product. The Amer
ican public enjoys nothing more than indulging
its children. '
In order to understand the school tax squeeze,
however, we must look at the entire tax picture.
Starting at the top, we don't vote directly on
federal taxes, so we have no chance to reject
them. What's more, President Eisenhower prom
ises us a four billion dollar surplus this year, if
Congress will go along. ' ; . .
"VT THE state-level, the people don't vote on
, the state budget. Through the referendum
procedure, the people have delayed imposing of
the latest tax increases ordered by the Legisla
ture. Despite this, the general fund shows a grow
ing surplus. . .. .
- The city and county are keeping within the
6 per cent limitation on their budgets and there
fore are exempt from public vote. The county has
hundreds of thousands of dollars tucked away, so
wealthy are they. The city boasts in can finance a
six-year improvement program without raising
the tax levy.
Then we come to the school districts. Here is
the one unit of government which must, go to
the public directly, year after year, to get ap
proval of its budget. To make matters more dif
ficult, this unit of government, faced with an ex
ploding enrollment, is the only one with a major
financial crisis.
DESENTMENT against high taxes by all units
of government tends to funnel itself down to
the school budget ballot, nearly the only place
people may vote on taxes for current operation.
This poses an extra burden on the friends of
education. They must not only gain public sup
port for their own cause,
sentment against situations over which they have
no control. .
This accounts in part, for our "odd set of
values" toward our schools. When the public
comes to understand this situation clearly, they
will agree that it is not fair to express resentment
i i i i i it.j
against taxes in general merely uy pumsmng uiu
schools. Oregon Statesman, Salem.
Promising Pattern
The idea that federal
dav added to Eugene's
to gain validity with news last week from Med
ford.
There, pending only
proval, Uncle Sam is planning to build a $2,365,
000 facility for use by a. multitude of federal
agencies, including the postal service.
Medford, perhaps, is
new postoffice and having a concurrent need for
consolidating the locations of a dozen or so other
federal offices. Consideration of all of these
needs has led to plans for a new federal struc
ture to contain a total of 81,7000 square feet of
floor space. ; . V , , .
UERE in Eugene we have a relatively modern
""and recently expanded postoffice. A number
. " i , ii. i t ;i j:
or iederai agencies nave oiiiees m mat Duuaing,
and others are located in the county courthouse.
Even so, there are many more scattered around
town in rented quarters.
As apparently is to
will make sense for the
gather all of these into one location in Eugene
but no one can say when that will happen.
Federal authorities have indicated interest in
Eugene's civic center as a possible location for
a new federal office building. At the "same time,
they've said there are other cities in Oregon
including Medford where the government's
building needs are greater.
DATIENCE, in this case, may be it's own re-
ward. Half a block is being reserved for a
federal building in the Eugene civic center plan.
It should be noted, however, that current time
tables call for the reallocation of the civic center
lands within three years after they are acquired
and cleared of existing structures by the Eugene
urban renewal agency.
There is time to wait for the federal govern
ment to make up its mind what it plans to do in
Eugene but not too much time. Eugene Register-Guard.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
A FADING MYTH
Washington An extraordi
nary change in our political
folklore is unfolding as genu
ine simmers
of heat now
begin to rise
from the pre
c o n v e ntion
pre sidential
campaign.
A tradition
which long
has been tee-
Williams. "s
white seems to be
falling right to the ground.
This is the notion that the log
cabin, or its equivalent, was
really the most desirable scene
of birth for a candidate. .
Though,, -of course t he r e
were occasional exceptions,
the poor-man mystique used
to be almost a religion. It was
generally felt that any presi
dential candidate who was no
ticeably rich started under an
automatic, handicap.
"'
rYOUR party simply had to
pick an obviously well
heeled fellow, the least you
could do was to play down
this inconvenient fact. You
would dig frantically for evi
dence that he had come up
the hard way in ' some ' re
spects, anyhow. If as -a ,boy
he had not walked three miles
in the snow to school, per
haps it could be shown that
when he went to college he
was properly scornful of fra
ternity dances and all other
such frivolities. .
And if your man was a
world sophisticate, you point
ed out that at any rate he
had a good, sound rural back
ground. Thus Herbert Hoover,
to whom the wide earth was
familiar, was presented as an
man whose real roots were
back in West Branch, Iowa.
Thus WendeU Willkie, a
cosmopolitan corpora tion
lawyer, turned out to be
basically just a boy from
somewhere near the banks of
the Wabash in Elwood, Ind.
Harry Truman was a country
boy from Independence, Mo
not from wicKed Kansas City.
Dwight Eisenhower was real
ly . from the dusty frontier
town of Abilene, Kan., and
so on.
NOW, however, to be open
ly, unashamedly and even
en joy ably rich is by no means
an inevitable handicap. Three

democratic presidental possi
bilities Senators John F.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF -
TpREQUENTLY, I am asked, "Of all the contestants who
A have appeared on the What's My Line TV panel show,
which do you remember best?" Well, that would have to
be the elephant trainer
from a Jones Beach out- ,
door show who appeared
during the summer of
1955. The owner of .the
outdoor spectacle MADE
him appear for the pub
licity; Lord knows he
didn't WANT to come.
His reluctance became
clear -an hour after he -appeared.
He was wanted
in several states for car
stealing, and the FBI
nabbed him before he
left the theater. Since we
hadn't guessed his occupation he won $50, which was for
warded to him in care of the warden of a federal peniten
tiary.. Other well-remembered "What's My Line" guests include a
gent who made eyeglasses for chickens, another who made false
teeth for cows, a lady who counted whales, and a lovely old girl
Of 80 or thereabouts who crocheted pockets for pool tables.
A veteran lighthouse keeper on the rocky coast of Maine had
to be handed his walking papers last month. He kept dousing
the light to watch TV! "

car, huh, pad?
S. WHITE
and Stuart Symington of Mis
souri don't have to worry
where the next hundred
thousand dollars is coming
from.
They are all millionaires,
or so close to it that it makes
no difference. The fourth
democratic challenger, Sen,
Hubert H. Humphrey of Min
nesota, is relatively "poor"
and he is determinedly pre
senting himself as "the poor
man's candidate." Even Hum
phrey, however, is not exact
ly required to ride the street
cars. He goes about in a Cad
iliac when he chooses.
Moreover and this is the
main point the Humphrey
attack of the man he has pick
ed as "the rich-man candi
date," Kennedy, is not pro
ducing much return. All old
fears die , hard.. So nobody
running for president is eager
to come right out and say that
he is quite happy to be rich,
Without violating any con
fidence, however, this cor
respondent can report the fol
lowing: A certain candidate
whose ; initials are J.F.K. is
not worried about the Hum
phrey charge.
...
rpHIS J.F.K. figures that peo-
A pie no longer automatical
ly dislike a man who happens
to have a good deal of the
folding stuff.; Indeed, it is pos
sible that this J.FJK. not to
mention a .. man initialed
L. B. J. and another initialed
S.S. may actually feel that
voters like . to see a feilow
who has got it made financial
ly. For eight decades' the Re
publican party was inevitably
reckoned to be "the party of
the rich." The ironical truth
now is that this party's next
presidential . nominee, vice-
president Richard Nixon, , is
probably the least-rich man -in
the race.: Certainly : he , is
so but for the possible excep
tion of Humphrey. i
Thus passes one of our
small and cherished preju
dices. Why has it gone? Per
haps it is because nearly
everybody has more money
than nearly every body used
to have. But perhaps, even
better, it is because we have
grown up a bit and decided
that competence for public
office is not relayed to wheth
er or not a man is given the
"A" treatment at the bank.

Foreign Desk: Middle East
Policy; Urugua y's Fund Need
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
From the foreign editor's
notebook:
New Approach
The Allied powers once
JNM$t I again are in a
quandary over
their Middle
East policy. In
1950 the Unit
ed States,
Britain and
France pledg
ed to block
any attempt to
change b o r-
pwi Newsom . aers in xne
troubled area by force. Since
then there has been a consid
erable power shift in the Mid
dle East, with Russia now a
vital factor. With the United
Arab Republic's Nasser telling
the West to keep hands off the
area, no matter what, some
Western diplomats believe the
time has come for a new ap
proach. And they have advis
ed their governments there is
not much time.
Me Too
Tiny Uruguay, last country
President Eisenhower visited
on his South American tour, is
reported thinking of asking
Washington for $100 million
in credits to build up its local
industry. The decision appar
ently is a last-minute one, in
fluenced by reports that the
first three countries on the
Eisenhower tour-Brazil, Ar
gentina and Chile -put the
bite on the U.S. Chief Execu
tive for more aid.

In the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
, What's the big news today?
. I think maybe it's the wea
ther. As everybody knows,
big news tends to involve the
ujn u&uaws wnen a man
bites a dog. Normally, a big
storm is a. local , show. The
storm; of the past few days
appears to have been a nation
al hook-up. ' i .
It took a swipe at EVERY
BODY. Among other inci
dents of .the' storm, three
Canadian Eskimos who are
visiting in- the East- Coast
area got snowed in in West
Virginia! -, .
WASHINGTON, the nation's
" : capital city, got eight
inches of wet snow. It snarled
traffic to a standstill.-It -kept
people from, getting to work
which in these days is a TER
RIBLE hardship. Especially
in .Washington. It blistered
the hands of innumerable gov
ernment workers who had jto
get out and shovel, the snow
off their walks.
T3UT-
In Washington
There was an exception to
the general suffering caused
by the unseasonable storm,
The exception was the august
senate of the United States of
America, whose members
were required by the exigen
cies of what is known as a
JOLIBUSTER to be present
and available in the senate
chambers at ALL times-both
day and night.
So- ,
When' came the storm-
The members of the senate
(excepting only those who
were TALKING and those
who were compelled by the
circumstances of the filibuster
to be present and awake and
alert to head off any sudden
shennanigans) were all curled
np in their little cots as snug
as a Dug in a rug.
WITH THE ; storm at its
' height, a little after
midnight, there came a dra
matic interruption of the fili
bustering process. Senator
Morse of Oregon strode ma
jestically up to the senate
clerk's desk and PLACED
THEREON A CLOTURE PE
TITION. A cloture petition is
a petition to choke off the
talking. If enough senators
sign it, the filibuster, under
the senate rules, it BUSTED.
He invited senators to walk
up and sign it.
The incident so ' shocked
Senator Thurston B. Morton
of Kentucky that he grabbed
up the petition, tore the paper
to shreds and dropped the
shreds into the waste basket.
HOW COME his outburst?
suposes that- the dis
tinguished senator from Ken
tucky just couldn't see what
on earth Senator Morse, the
distinguished former holder
of the WORLD'S FILIBUS-
TERING TALKATHON REC
ORD, would be doing with a
CLOTURE petition.
It so astounded him that he
blew up-like the chameleon
that was unexpectedly depos
ited upon a Scotch tartan.
Out here in Oregon,
where we know our senior
senator, we can understand it:
He just HAS to be DIFFER
tiled
ENT. No matter what it costs.
cies could be put to a popular
test soon in Japan. Premier
Nobuske Kishi is heading for
a' showdown with his opposi
tion over parliamentary rati
fication of the U.S.-Japan se
curity treaty. If the going gets
too rough Kishi might call
snap elections and the basic
issue would be whether Japan
should stick with the West or
go neutral. Kishi feels the
country would vote strongly
for his present policies and
show up the vocal opposition.

Off-Base
To the Editor: I believe the
sterilization subject is getting
away off-base. It was not sug
gested that ALL women be
sterilized. Heaven forbid. But
let's not sound as though we
condoned the unwed mother.
I am all for taking care of
the children, of course, but
there are so many orphans
and legitimate children cry
ing for homes and help, that
the time to stop this increase
is before conception. - Minnie
G. forgets that the God-given
priviledge of bearing children
isn't all there . is to it. They
have to be cared for, suppos
edly by the mother,, not oth
ers. You can't tell me that a
woman enjoys bearing a child
never to see it again. It
wouldn't be hard to weed out
these undesirables.
I know a man with 14 chil
dren and another on the way
Only four are with him, the
others are scattered around in
various welfare homes and
schools. He, himself, is on wel
fare. This is the type to stop.
I also know a mother with
four children" on . welfare
whose husband left her and is
now raising another family in
another state.' Our district at
torney refuses to have him
brought back and pay for his
family's keep. Recently, the
mother was forced to go to
work and the children scat
tered in welfare homes. I
thought bigamy was the same
anywhere in the U.S. This is
the type man to stop.
We neither need to : play
God nor be a Hitler to know
that there are some laws and
privileges that cannot" be
abused. I believe $80,000 is
too much to gay. Maybe those
who. . have written deploring
the suggestion have money to
help these folks but I would
like toido more for my own
that I had the legitimate way,
by marriage.

Sugar Questions
To the Editor: Copies of
this letter have been sent to
our representatives - in Con
gress.
Dear Sir: In this letter I
am asking for clarification of
a subject I do not understand.
I know that you are: busy
with Congressional duties,
but a clarification is needed
in order that I and others will
be guided in our thinking this
election year.
" As we understand it the
Sugar Act was passed in 1937
in order to create the idea of
scarcity. From a study of the
act and its effects since, the
following facts emerge:
1. The cost of sugar to the
housewife at that time was
5 cents per lb. It "is 'now '15
cents per lb.
2. : The .-U. S. produced its
own sugar. There were . no
imports. -
3. The act curtailed the
home production to 54 per
cent of the amount needed,
46 . per cent must be pur
chased elsewhere.
4. Our international cartel
now handles the commerce in
sugar. Is this cartel a group
of nations or group of men?
In either case, who are they?.
5. In 1958, $72,200,000 was
appropriated by Congress to
administer the act. Last year
$80,000,000 was appropriated.
Who administers this act and
what does the work entail?
What is the 'budget request
for this year? - f
6. The act was renewed for
four years in 1956. Is it to be
renewed again this year?
Why? .
7. The cartel buys sugar in
Cuba and elsewhere at $64
a ton and sells it for $128 a
ton. Who pockets this profit?
8. If we must have this act
why not pay the cost of ad
ministering it out of the prof
its? - -'" " .". .
An j. early, reply to: these
queries will be much appre
ciated. From the tenor of these
questions it is evident that we
believe it would be to the ad
vantage of the American peo
ple to discontinue the act this
year.

There is a lot of popular
feeling in Britain for Antony
Armstrong-Jones to remain a
commoner' but the informed
speculation is that he will be
given some title. He already
is surrounded by titles-his sis

a countess, stepfather an earl,
half brother a baron. Mean

Precinct Politics
To the Editor: Urging mem
bers to take part in politics
has been occupying various
civic organizations' time the
past few months. Elaborate
schools on political activities
are being held by the various
Chambers of Commerce and
other business groups.
The simplest way for both
men and women to exert an
influence in politics is in the
precinct. Becoming a precinct
committeeman or woman in
either party is the backbone
of educating the public, per
forming a public service, be
ing neighborly and having
fun promoting candidates and
the political part of their
choice.
Women particularly should
heed the call to this type of
civic duty-they not only be
come effective in national and
state elections but can be the
decisive factor in winning
school district, water district,
fire district, etc., elections.
Precinct committeemen and
women work, with approxi
mately 400 people - their
neighbors. V ,
. Effective . precinct workers
are wooed by presidential
candidates as., well as state
and county hopefuls.
Being a precinct worker
takes very-little time for the
rewards involved. By rewards
I mean seeing the effects of
your work in' votes for the
party for which you've la
bored. : You may file for precinct
worker at your county court
house, but the deadline is
March 11; there's no charge.
Your name will be printed on
the primary ballot in your
precinct and you'll run for the
office just as candidates for
other offices do. If you've ne
glected to file,' write your own
name in on the ballot May 20
at the polls under "Precinct
Committeeman or woman'
and ask 8 or 10 of your
friends to do the same for
you. If no one has filed you'll
make it! When you're elected
you'll be an influential factor
for good government and
there's no better security
than that in the world.

Security structure and the
continual increase in cost of
the benefits would be a pro
hibitive burden on the work
ing population.
How much more can the
wage earner afford to have
taken from his pay check,
paying other peoples bills and
at the expense of his own
family's welfare?
Speak up, Mr. Wage Earn
er. Write to your Representa
tive NOW, for when he comes
home it will be too late. Will
your Representative vote to
protect your Freedom or will
he vote for Socialism?

Sex Crimes
To the Editor: TJiere seems
to be some confusion concern
ing the male sterilization tech
nique and its results.
The operation renders the
subject unable to father chil
dren, true, but by no meani
does it deter his sex drive.
And since the operation is
reputed to be relatively pain
less, I fail to see how it would
help to deter sex crimes. The
only way to ensure the stop
page of sex crimes is castra
tion. And now I think I had
better duck before the blows
start coming,
. Reminds me of an incident
Bertrand Russell relates. A
certain book, which was writ
ten to explain reproduction to
the working women of Bri
tain, was banned in that state
some years ago. me reason?
The working women of Bri
tain could understand it.
