Opposition . Not Enough
The Forand bill has been in the news of late.
Recently, Sen. John S. Kennedy of Massachusetts
introduced a piece of legislation which has be
come known as the Kennedy bill. Both have the
same general purpose. Both have been greeted
with cries of anguish from some groups.
The Forand and Kennedy proposals are de
signed to provide additional protection under
health-care plans for persons over 65. Blue Cross,
Blue Shield and the various commerical insurance
companies have been loath to cover this age
bracket in the past. -
Insurance companies which have carried
plans for older persons have in many cases
done so only with restricted policies at consider
ably higher rates than those paid by the rest of us.
NE can't particularly blame insurance com-
parries. As persons get older they are more
susceptible to some diseases. They recover from
illnesses less quickly. In other words, their med
ical expenses are likely to be high. Insurors tra
ditionally have charged higher rates for higher
risks.
At the same time, one must sympathize with
the oldsters involved. At a time when their in
comes are being reduced through inadequate re
tirement plans and provisions, they are asked to
increase the amount of those incomes which they
spend for medicine, doctors, and hospitals.
Both the Forand and Kennedy bills would
have the federal government help pick up the
difference. Rep. Forand, first on the scene with
his bill, would handle the problem through
amendments to the basic Social Security Act.
FORAND would set

security payments would be entitled to receive
a limited amount of hospital, surgical, and nurs
ing home treatment under a government-man
aged program.
Opposition to the proposal is led by the
American Medical Association, which tradition
ally sees that old bugaboo "socialized medicine"
behind every bush. Other opposition comes from
insurance companies
one out and various farm and business groups.
Yet the Forand bill and the later Kennedy
proposal remain attractive to many persons,
particularly those who
THE AM A and other groups opposing the leg-
islation do so as a traditional position to all
such proposals. They have followed the same
line for many years.
This is no longer enough. A serious problem
exists serious for the
come nas Deen reduced
must be found for it. Blind opposition to pro
posed solutions is not enough. Bend Bulletin.
Campaigning in Song
According to a news story recently, the song
writers are busily at work writing singing com
mercials for the political campaign. Nothing
livens up an activity that
much as a catchy song or
than a few meetings of various kinds get under
way with group singing.
What bothers the sons:
pose catchy ditties, is finding words that rhyme
with candidate's names, or with campaign issues.
Perhaps the carefully worded TV commercial
would provide some clues. For example, if the
GOP were to emphasize the "he who governs
least governs best," the party quartet could har
monize on:
"Oh the Country runs best,
With Congress recessed,
Vote Republican."
AS FOR the presidential candidates, we can
think of several little couplets that might
come in handyif not to the candidates, then to
theii opponents. For example:
If you have anything that needs fixin'
Then vote for Richard Nixon.
Supporters of the liberal Minnesotan could
chant:
Government aid, want to get some free?
Then get behind Hubert H. Humphrey.
Symington's backers might sing this:
If you're from Missouri, let us show you,
The estimable gentleman known as "Stu".
SOUTHERNERS could fit this to music:
For the man with appeal to both the sexes
Support Lyndon Johnson; he's from Texas.
Massachusetts wouldn't want anything undig
nified. Perhaps this:
If you want a man of means with a
youthful face,
Put John Kennedy in the race.
In Oregon we could yodel this:
If you want to try sense as kicked by a horse,
You'll put your bets on Senator Morse.

The Travel Information Division of the high
way department has a new slogan: "Relax in a

that "Pacific Wonderland" line we're using now.

Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of
the writer, although under certain circumstances the use
of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The
Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a
view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted
for. publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters
printed in this column do not necessarily represent the
views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case.
Music and Character
To the Editor: Credit for
the following goes to J. O.
Iverson, a friend of mine in
Glendale, California. I
thought it quite interesting
as it relates closely to the
recent music controversy ap
pearing in these columns.
"Not many months ago, a
sad but wiser radio station
in Erie, Pennsylvania, led out
in a funeral procession. It's
lead car, appropriately draped
for the occasion, was filled
with its total library of rock-and-roll
records. Destination?
The bottom of Lake Erie.
"Many other stations, per
haps not so demonstrative,
have come to the conclusion
that rock and roll is not what
thinking teen-agers want or
need.
"On the contrary, rock-and-roU
flame has often accom
panied if not incited violence
and vandalism, and set the
stage for other forms of de
linquency. Someone has said
that rock-and-roll is a nervous
breakdown set to music.
"Without doubt music or
its counterfeit has a direct
influence on character; and
character on music. Song and
music form a strategic part of
life's plans. Real music started
in heaven. Moses and Miriam
led the Children of Israel to
sing the song of victory after
the grand march through the
Red Sea.
"Through song David gave
expression to many of his
daily experiences. But always,
the words and the music,
rythm or beat, was in har
mony with the experience.
"The 'top ten' are said to
be determined through accu
rate polls. But the honesty
of the polling has been ser
iously challenged in recent
months.
"Here are ways for you to
decide whether any given
song should be in your top
ten:
"(1) Does the lyric make
sense? or nonsense?
"(2) Do the words reflect
your character ideals? If they
reflect a lower level of
thought or action, it's not for
you.
"(3) Rhythm can lead a con
quering army, or a mob in
acts of violence. How does the
rhythm of this song affect
you?
"(4) Music, like many other
things has its counterfeits.
Much of the rock-and-roll beat
is compatible to the devil
dances among heathen tribes.
If the beat of the witch drums
can drive a tribesman to a
frenzy of Satanic behavior,
what can't the same beat do
to sophisticated circles?
"(5) Does listening to the
music make you feel better
satisfied with yourself? Or
ashamed and guilty?
"Music influences you and
your ideals, and out of the
heart the mouth sings." '

How About a Slide?
To the Editor: I have been
seriously wondering, with all
this expense of building a new
swim pool, why a slide can't
be built into the pool at this
time.
I know the budget is
strained already, but if a pri
vate group is unable to fi
nance it, it would certainly be
a challenge for our school
children to take their pennies
and dimes for this purpose.
They would be repaid many
times in the years to come.
My own youngsters, and
many others I personally
know, prefer going over to
Twin Plunges at Ashland for
the express purpose of sliding
down into the water. Wouldn't
Menace
it be better to keep our money
in our own city?
I also favor very much a
seasonal ticket or family tick
et that would be accepted at
both Medford pools.
It will take immediate ac
tion for a slide, or it will be
too late to install it. Are any
other parents interested?

No Parasols
To the Editor: The morning
news says: "Some Foreigners
ain't got no parasols."

Common Law of Justice
To the Editor: A man's
writing invariably reflects
himself, and your editorial of
Sunday, March 13, "There's
a Choice To Be Made", re
flects a loyal Medford citizen
in the act of smothering an
evil capable of destroying his
community; . . . reflected too,
is a dedicated citizen of the
state of Oregon, moving with
the experience and inherent
knowledge that the concerted
activity of all the people is
necessary for human progress
Reflected further, is a cit
izen of these United States
whose wisdom reveals it is
only because all the people
of these United States must
answer to a common law of
justice, that we may be call
ed the United States of Amer
ica, a wholly wealthy nation,
which for nearly two centur
ies has proven to an other
wise destitute world that only
through the practice of the
virtue of Christian charity,
may all people avoid the con
tempt of poverty of the body,
and the eternal despair of
poverty of the soul!
These reflections do not
blur the picture of a man
advocating and living up to
the highest ideals of the art
of journalism.

Dog Law Facts
To the Editor: Just a few
facts in regard to the dog sit
uation. On Oct. 29, 1959, the
city council of Portland pass
ed a dog control ordinance,
realizing it was of consider
able public interest. In order
that the public might have a
voice in the matter, it has
been placed on the ballot to
be voted on in the May pri
mary, in Portland.
Four years ago this same
control law was voted on in
Medford. A few days before
election one of our local at
torneys gave a talk at the
courthouse in opposition to
the proposed law. At the close
of his talk he was asked if
he would be willing to head
a sanitary committee to go out
each morning with a bucket
and shovel to make our yards
a fit place for our children
to play. He gave no answer.
The day before election our
paper came out with a blind
display advertisement in op
position to the proposed law.
There have been some
changes since that time. The
law was defeated by 160
votes out of 8,000 cast. A law
has been passed in Salem
making it mandatory that,
every political advertisement
must be so labeled and with
the author's name attached.

at our county pound there

Racial Designation
To the Editor: As a whole,
Medford citizens will approve
of your editorial of Sunday,
March 13.
The welcome to the new
member of our Weather Bu
reau staff was most timely
and confirms the resolution
adopted by our Ministerial
association.
There is, however, a phase
of Medford's metamorphosis
from Caucasian provincialism
that the Mail Tribune will al
so have to undergo.
I refer to your reference to
the Negro race whenever, you
publish news articles concern
ing persons who have been
suspect of law violation.
About two weeks ago, in
your newspaper, a news item
covering some local alleged
law violations carried the ref
erence of Negro after the
names of the suspected per
sons. The reference to race of a
suspect, is definitely a pre-in,-dictment
slur. Metropolitan
newspapers dropped racial
designation several years ago.
To really welcome our new
people, it would be most ap
propriate that racial designa
tion be dropped from your
news articles.
Henry F. Padgham Jr.

Editor's note: The Mail
Tribune usually follows the
practice of identifying indi
viduals by race only when
there is reason to do so; when,
for instance, the story would
make no sense without such
designation. The story re
ferred to by Mr. Padgham
was an inadvertent violation
of that policy. Incidentally,
not all metropolitan papers
follow this policy.

Jerusalem-A small wind of
small danger and small ag
gression blows forever across
Israel.
The people live in a twilight
zone that is not quite danger
and not quite safety. The
1 most basic
fact here is
the constant,
biting pres
sure from hos
tile Arab
n e i g h b ors.
This country
is like a stock
ade in the old
A merican
west exnent
that the Redskins do not come
often or in force.
It is also like the Baronnial
settlement of Medieval Eng
land where men were on
watch always against the ma
rauding forces that came in
the nighttime.
This is no land of terror.
But it is a land that never has
absolute peace. Men speak
here of "security" as though
it were a word like bread or
meat. And because of their ne
cessities the Israelis have de
veloped one of the most cur
ious forms of defense in all
the story of cold-lukewarm
wanare.
A ROUND Israel stand four
xx lines of defense.
The first line is made up of
two kmds of farms. In the
one set are the small, indi
vidual plots of independent
farmers. In the other set are
the collective farms, called
Kibbutzim, which are as
dreary in appearance as they
are efficient in fact. On these
places live young men and
women, apart from their chil
dren in a kind of brave, new
world which they like.
A second line of defense is
made up of intelligence agents
who have the most difficult
job in all the world in their
trade. What they do is keep
endless tab on the Arab min
orities who live on the fron
tier areas.
This is intelligence work of
a kind that no one really knew
in the last war. Israel's agents
must know not merely what
the other fellow is doing, but
what the other fellow-the
Arab fellow here in Israel-is
thinking and hoping in this
land which is both his home
and not his home. Not in all
the history of military strug
gle has so much been known
by so few-Israel's intelligence
people-about so many. These
agents must be aware of the
most intimate things about
the minority Arabs, who are
not precisely distrusted by
this government but who are
not entirely trusted.
The third line of defense is
in the civilian border police,
which is not quite military
but which is uniformed.
Back of them stands the Is
rael army.
THE Kibbutzim (plural for
TCihhiit? ari lnratpH in ev
ery strategis frontier area of
this country.
These are extraordinary
places - dreadfully intellect
ual. The women always wear
slacks. The men are ferocious
ly earnest and full of the best
and proper modern notions.
The children are kept aside in
their own small areas, and ma
ma may come in the evening
to kiss the little chap good
night. These Kibbutzim are like
fortresses of -long ago. Every
night a few from the Kibbutz
must do sentry duty while
searchlight gleam and chain
ed watchdogs bark. As lonely
as sentinels in a military com
pany they stand through the
darkness.
And wherever they stand,
1 4.1
in whatever numDer, uiej
stand as net losses in man
hours to Israel's productivity.
There are thoughtful men
here who believe that the ne
cessity to maintain this pion
eer watch is the most-bleeding
wound in Israel's side.
HERE, as elsewhere in the
cold war, is perhaps the
best nonsecret weapon of the
communist bloc. For whatev
er is taken from Israel's po
tential is, of course, water lost
forever.

New Game
West Household, As
Good Friends Part
By DICK WEST
Washington-fflPD-I was wool
gathering along F street one
recent afternoon when my at-
harpooned by
a sign in the
window of
B r e n t a no's
Book Store.
The poster
p r o c 1 aimed
the advent of
a new game
called "Diplo-
Dick west macy," touting
it as "the greatest innovation
in games since the invention
of chess.
"Highly recommended for
the politician, the diplomat,
the military enthusiast and
anybody at all who likes to
think," the poster said.
Now I don't fall into any
of these categories, particu
larly the last one, so it was
not flattery that tempted me
to snap at the $6.95 bait.
Deception Legitimate
What stopped me in my
tracks were the lines which
said "any tactic based on de
ception is legitimate in diplo
macy and which promised to
supply the players with "the
essential instructions on how
to cheat."
I knew that parlor games
had been getting progressive
ly more realistic but 1 never
dreamed they had reached the
point of legalized cheating. It
seemed to me this would take
all the fun out of the game,
Nevertheless, with the cold
war still gomg on and the
summit meetings coming up,
could see how a diplomatic
game might be popular in
Washington. So before you
could say "Andrei Gromyko,"
was inside the store engag
ing in some deceptive negotia
tions with the manager.
By pretending to be a poli
tician, diplomat and military
enthusiast who likes to think,
was able to persuade him
to let me try the game without
buying it.

Still Feuding
The temporary plaster over
a feud in the Arab world has
cracked wide open. Jordan
and the United Arab Republic
are (verbally) at each other's
throats after a period of
sweetness and light. Jordan
blocked the U.A.R.'s pet plan
for Palestinian refugees in the
recent Arab league meeting
in Cairo. Now Cairo's propa
ganda attacks on King Hus
sein are as noisy as they were
last summer.
Propaganda Offensive
The West will try to gain a
propaganda jump over the
Russians in the 10-nation dis
armament conference open
ing Tuesday in Geneva. Th
Soviets are expected to make
their major play with a re-run
of the Khrushchev plan for
"total" worldwide disarma
ment in four years. The West
hopes to outdo this with pro
posals for a new international
disarmament o r g a n i zation
and perhaps a world police
force.

that she invite sone neigh
bors in that night for a friend

My second mistake was
reading the rule book, an
eight-page volume only slight
ly less complicated than the
instructions for do-it-your-self

I won't attempt to sum
marize "Diplomacy" other
than to say that the object
of the game is to annihilate
the other players by out
witting your enemies and double-crossing
your friends, who
then-as I learned the hard
way-become your enemies.
These schemes are plotted
before each move during a
"diplomacy p e r i o d." The
game ends-at least it did at
my house-when the husbands
and wives quit speaking to
each other.
