Fitting
When the tall 3oung man from Oregon took
his seat for the first time in the United States
Senate on Jan. 3, 1955, he was far better known
throughout the country as a writer and crusading
conservationist than as a political personality.
When untimely death took him at the age of
47, his extraordinary qualities of mind and heart
and spirit had achieved for him in those five
short years a secure eminence and distinction as
a Senator.
It is difficult to write of Richard L. Neuberger
in the past tense. His enthusiasm and sincerity,
his undeviating conscience and his high sense of
public service combined to make him not only
one of the most respected members of the Senate
but also one of the most useful and most vital.
HIS powerful pen and his persuasive voice gave
life and point to many issues notably im
provement of the legislative process and preser
vation of this country's dwindling natural and
scenic resources that brought him into conflict
with interests that a lesser politician would have
been afraid to offend.
One of the current projects dearest to Senator
Neuberger's heart was enactment of legislation
to establish as a national seashore preserve a
magnificent stretch of Pacific beachland in his
native state, known as the Oregon Dunes. No
more fitting tribute could be paid him by the
Congress and the people of the United States
than to adopt the Neuberger bill that would set
aside forever this area in memory of a fine leg
islator and great outdoorsman who was deter
mined that future generations should share in the
great natural heritage of this country that he
knew so well and "loved. New York Times.
Downtown, Again
Mre. Bert Pree, the blonde, peripatetic human
dynamo, has sent us a clipping from the Phoenix
(Ariz.) Gazette which discusses the effect out
lying shopping districts can create for customers
of downtown merchants.
One result, the article concludes, is that these
customers get better service.
In the face of competition from big, conven
ient centers, with easy free parking, downtown
merchants in general have made "the shopper's
lot an easier one," the article says. It was based
on a survey of store managers about general re
tail practices, conducted by the Downtown Mer
chants Association of Phoenix.
70R instance, more stores are now absorbing
postage costs of merchandise mailed out.
The number of stores making free deliveries
has increased slightly and
C.O.D. service.
" More and more are
fewer selling for cash only. The number of stores
offering 30-day payment plans has gone from
63 per cent to 82 per cent, and purchasers now
can buy on credit in four out of five stores.
THERE are other factors involved in maintain-
ping center."
One, of course, is parking. In yesterday s
Mail Tribune, an official of Park & Shop-pointed
out how that plan has been successful in Wash
ington, D. C, and attributed to this fact an in
crease in the economic health of the downtown
area of the capital.
, This corroborates the experience of Park &
Shop in Medford, which has been remarkably
successful in providing convenient parking fa
cilities in a town this size.
(Medford's success, incidentally, is mentioned
favorably in a recent article in ihe magazine,
Parking, which concludes, "The Medford story
is positive proof that private enterprise in the
parking industry can be brought into its proper
perspective.")

TO our own mind, there are two other factors,
in addition to increased customer services and
parking, which do more than any of them to
promote business.
One is advertising.

Referring back for a moment to the Parking

which startled us a bit, what with all we've heard
about municipal off-street parking programs.
It stated:
"Many people are of the opinion that the majority
of off-street facilities in the central business districts
of American communities have been created as the
result of municipal efforts.
"Quite to the contrary, only 5Vi per cent of the

Liquor Traffic
To the Editor: In this day

ly, it is refreshing to read
letters from Mr. Johnson on
temperance and Mr. Bulman
on Mark Hatfield. These men
surely practice what they
preach in that they "seek first
the kingdom of God and his
righteousness," and trust Him
"who made and giveth all" to
give them strength and wis
dom. I rejoice that Christians
with a vital living experience
of salvation can "understand
what they mean." Combining
the two letters: It is very hard
to salvage the woman who is
ruined physically, mentally
and morally, but we can do
something about those that
lure people over the edge of
the cliff for profit.

sorrow? Who hath conten

A jeep is a "Jeep"
To the Editor: I find your
editorial, "Names and Trade
marks," interesting for a num
ber of reasons.
In the first place, the sub
ject of trademarks is very im
portant to me. One of my re
sponsibilities is to do what
ever I can to see that it is used
properly.
Next, I might have suspect
ed that sooner or later an
editor would "take off' on
Willys for having had the gall
to state in its most recent ad
vertisement that the word
"Jeep" "must" be capitalized.
This was an oversight on my
part. You might think, would
n't you, that of all people a
Public Relations man would
be aware of the value of ask
ing nicely for cooperation
from newspapers?
It may be of interest to you
Menace
to learn that ink on the adver
tisemeht in Editor & Publish
er was hardly dry before I
saw the error of my ways. It
has been corrected for future
runs.
It is not our intention to be
adamant or demanding about
the matter of 'our trademark.
Ordinarily, we point out that
the trademark is the property
of Willys Motors, Inc., and
from that point on seek the
cooperation of all of those who
have reason to use the word
It was in Washington, D.C,
in 1941-before the Umted
States entered World War II-
that "Red" Hausman, a test
driver for Willys, took Miss
Katherine Hillyer, a feature
writer for one of the Wash
ington papers for a test drive
in the Army's new quarter-
ton, four-by-four tactical ve
hicle. I wish to point out that
at that precise moment, the
vehicle was known only by its
Army nomenclature.
Miss Hillyer, amazed at the
versatility of the vehicle,
asked: "Mr. Hausman, what
do you call this thing?"
He replied: "It's a 'Jeep'.'
The name, used in Miss Hill-
yers newspaper account of
her thrilling ride, stuck. The
vehicle became, as you know,
widely known by the armed
forces as "Jeep." '
Willys - Overland Motors
Inc., as the company was then
known, lost precious little
time in applying for trade
mark rights on the name.
If, as you say, the Patent Of
fice was "bamboozled" into
issuing a copyright to Willys,
let me say they are not to
day easily bamboozled. Their
regulations are very stringent.
To use the name as our legal
property, we must very vigor
ously defend its proper usage
and prove that we take excep
tion to anyone who uses it im
roperly. During the war years, Wil
lys produced better than 360,-
000 "Jeep" military vehicles.
Following the signing of the
armistice with Japan, the com
pany went into production of
civilian models and now mar
kets 10 basic models of the
famous original .vehicle. This
is our business. Some com
petitive vehicles resemble
ours. If we do not show just
cause why they should not le
gally use our trademark, we
could quite possibly lose our
rights to the word.
But, as I started out to say,
it was, and is, a mistake for
those of us at WiUys to be de
manding about this. We can
only ask for cooperation.

On Social Benefits
To the Editor: Regarding a
letter to the editor by one
Edith Phetteplace in the Mail
Tribune March 7. We wish to
sympathize with her in her
avarice and greed to spend all
of her salary on herself and
family, but we also feel that
she should also think of the
time she herself will be old
and grey, lame, halet, sick
and blind.
There are other factors to
consider: too. She deplores a
little Socialism. We wonder if
she would prefer Communism?
Not that we approve of
Russia's methods, but they feel
that conflict of a social nature
is a threat to their way of
life, whether it be at home or
abroad. Therefore it is not ex
pedient to let our senior citi
zens starve or die in the street
for want of health treatment
We realize that folks under 60
do not care what happens to
those over 65 and never have.
But the Russians are develop
ing a new culture. They are
taught to care, because they
realize that they will be old
some day and it is a threat to
their survival to have a cul
ture in the world too differ
ent to that of their own.
Therefore there is the ele
ment of national risk to ne
glect our senior citizens.
The Forand bill is a cheap
piece of legislation as pre
sented originally, whether it
has been corrected to face the
conditions of the day has not
been revealed. This writer has
communicated with both Sen
ator Morse and Congressman
Porter on the shortcomings of
the Forand Bill. They both
agree that it can be improved.
As for myself I am 73 and
I draw a social security check
of $121.50. My wife is in a
nursing home, which costs
$180 per month, drugs $1 per
day. Doctor bill varies from
$5 a month to $25 per month.
All of which is in excess of
the $180.
It is barely possible that the
brain that fashioned the For
and Bill was no more soused
with the milk of human kind
ness, nor as full of sympathy
for the aged, as Edith Phette
place. But it was more real
istic.
She implies that taxes
might wreck the Social Secur
ity structure. Quite true. Tax
es can wreck our whole eco
nomic system. What the na
tion faces today is whether or
not our economic system can
compete with the Communists
and still provide the cultural
and material factors neces
sary for a modern civilization.
At present we are lagging be
hind Russia in culture, health
and social security. They do
not posses our luxuries. But
they do enjoy the glory of
planting their emblem on the
moon and taking snapshots of
the opposite side of it.
However they do not enjoy
our much loved two party po
litical system which spends
our substance on foreign aid,
and an obsolete military ma
chine. Nor do they pay farm
ers not to raise crops. That is
their way and it keeps every
one in employment. They not
only have health insurance for
the aged, but health insurance
from the cradle to the grave.
Must we wreck our way of
life to gain the comforts of
civilization? Have we the will
and courage to try to preserve
our social system? I wonder.

Simple Fact
To the Editor: Congratula
tions on your excellent editor
ial of March 13 entitled
"There's a Choice To Be
Made." I sincerely hope that
your braveness in printing
such a fine viewpoint won't
lessen the number of subscrib
ers to the Medford Mail Trib
une, as it has long been my
impression that the majority
of citizens in the valley are
somewhat prejudiced against
the Negro. (To say the least!)
It seems rather odd to me
that there are still people, to
this day, who cannot under
stand the pure and simple
fact that is so obvious.
In your editorial you stated
that if one believes in the pre
cepts of the Bible, in the teach
ing of most of the Churches,
then there should be no prob
lem in accepting this type of
situation. Really, in effect
there should be no problem
then, as it is quite evident that
per capita the valley certainly
has a high percentage of re
ligious organizations and
therefore unless these very re
ligiously minded people are
committing hypocrisy (the
false assumption of an appear
ance of virtue or religion) the
problem at hand is really very
simple and there should be no
complications in the matter.
At this point, I can hear
people saying to themselves as
they read this letter, "he's a
nigger lover." I couldn't care
less, as anybody who would
think a thing like that cer
tainly would be showing his
degree of intelligence in the
premises. If my recollection
is correct, Mr. Abraham Lin
coln freed the slaves and the
white people brought the Ne
gro to this country in the first
place. We have made our own
bed, now let us lie in it.
In view of the fact that I
cannot be bothered with
threats, derogatory and triv
ial comments from the aver
age citizen, I wish my name
to be withheld and in closing
give a true American welcome
to the Harold Smith family.

Italian President Once Again
Faces Job of Finding Premier
By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign Editor
Since taking over as presi
dent of Italy in 1955, Giovan
ni Gronchi has been the man
in the middle
in the Italian
government's
game of musi
cal chairs.
He has been
so because it
is the Presi
dent's job to
find a new
premier when
ever a govern
hl Newsoto
ment falls, which has been
occuring in Italy with monoto
nous regularity for the better
part of the last seven years.
bo with the fall of Premier
Antonio Segni's government
on Feb. 24, Gronchi began a
familiar round of consulta
tions.
Italy's situation, once com
parable to the unstable gov
ernments of the French
Fourth Republic, now is al
most unique among major na
tions. Its most powerful party is
the Christian Democratic
which commands 40 per cent
of the votes in Parliament and
from which every Italian pre
mier has been drawn since
the fall of Mussolini and es
tablishment of the new Italian
constitution.
But the party itself is split
right, center and left, which
helps to explain why govern
ments may change but faces
do not. Depending on the cur
rent direction of the political
winds, the premiership usual
ly falls to a man who has held
the job before Segni, Amin
tore Fanfani, Giuseppe Pella.
Individually they may be
described in order as moder
ately left, left and right.
Because they have been un
able to obtain a clear parlia
mentary majority since 1953,
the Christian Democrats have
been forced to rule with a
coalition drawn from smaller
rim of Crater Lake down to
the lake shore.
Crater Lake is a beautiful
lake and should not be disfig
ured with any mechanical
gadgets. Those who are too
lazy to walk the trail should
stay on the rim. His idea has
the taint of commercialism.

Editorial Commended
To the Editor: I just wanted
to say how much I admired
your fine editorial, "There's a
Choice To Be Made," especial
ly when there is so much at
stake.-1 hope the people of
Medford will study your edi
torial and accept it in the fine
spirit in which it must have
been written. It takes courage
to stand, when there is so
much to lose, and so little to
gain.
May the Lord give our Min-
isters here in Medford courage
to stand with you and the
Lord, who is no respecter of
persons, and made of one
blood all nations of men for to
dwell on the face of the earth
(Acts. 10:34. 17:26.) I hope
this includes Medford.
As a boy I grew up in the
South as "pore-white-trash"
(so called by the Southern
Gentlemen). As I remember
some of them, their hearts
were blacker than any Ne
gro's skin, while some of those
Negro people had hearts of
gold. For over 50 years I have
lived in Oregon, most of the
time in Portland. I have min
gled freely with all colors,
and have learned the color of
one's skin has little to do with
the heart or character inside
that skin.
The heart or character de
pends largely on the individu
al himself. All are created
equal, God sets before all,
good and bad, life and death
and asks us to choose life
(Deut. 30:19). Our own U.S.
Government, the greatest this
world ever knew, places God
and His Word first. That is
what made it the greatest Na
tion on earth today. As indi
viduals, why accept less for
ourselves? Why not be large
enough to accept God's Word,
obeying His Law, as well as
the Laws of America, accept
ing the fact that a man is a
human being regardless of the
color of his skin. In war we
fight together, in sports we
play together. We are only
animals when we act and live
like them. God desires all to
be His Children, Adam was
so created. (Luke 3:38.),

will do well
to remember
how the Suez
crisis started.
It started, in
effect, because
the late John
Foster Dulles
began a game
of tit -for -tat
with Gamal
Joseph alsop Abdel Nasser,
without considering where
the game might lead. Dulles
abruptly cancelled the Aswan
Dam scheme, more particu
larly, he made this gesture
with calculated rudeness. And
this drove Nasser to national
ize the Suez canal years ahead
of his planned schedule. On
the very day of the Dulles
gesture, the French ambassa
dor of that time hurried to the
State Department to ask what
Secretary Dulles would do
when Nasser answered the
gesture by seizing the canal.
He was laughed at for his
pains. But when the ambas
sador's foresight had been
proven by events, it also turn
ed out that Secretary Dulles
simply did not know what to
do with the catastrophic re
sults. This ugly episode of the
recent past needs to be born
in mind now, for a quite sim
ple reason. The temptation to
begin a game of tit -for -tat
with Fidel Castro is already
strong, and it is likely to grow
stronger.
lOR the present, the Cuban
revolution seems likely
not to touch the great majori
ty of the American and other
foreign industrial investments
in Cuba. But the sugar and
cattle lands have been seized
already. The sugar mills are
likely to be seized soon. The
proposed arrangements for
compensation are far from
satisfactory, and these mater
ial losses are ten time more
painful, because of the cam
paign of vilification of the
United States that is being
waged by Castro and his sub
ordinates. No wonder, then, that there
is a powerful impulse in Wash
ington to abolish the Cuban
sugar quota, or to cease buy
ing t.uban sugar at prices
above the world market, or
to make some other gesture
which will "teach Castro a
lesson and put Castro in
his place." The effect of Cas
tro's example on other Latin
American countries is an add
ed argument perhaps the
most important argument -for
reprisals against Cuba.
"We can't take this from
Castro," they say, "unless we
are ready to take this sort of
thing from everyone else.
NOT having seen the other
Latin American countries,
this reporter cannot judge the
force of this argument. But
even after much too short a
stay in Cuba, I feel very sure
indeed that the real choice
lies between "taking this
from Castro,", with all its at
tendant evil results, or calling
up the Marines to squash Cas
tro, with all the evil results
that can be expected from
such an operation.

ser is humble, sluggish ant
lethargic. If Nasser react8
violently to the beginning of
a game of. tat-for-tat, Castro
can be expected to react ten
times more violently. He can
in fact be expected to play out
the game of tit-for-Ut to the
limit of his resources, without o
regard for the consequence to
Cuba, or the consequents to
himself, or any other practical
consideration. He ii whit the
philosopher Max WebeF li
ed a "charismatic" leaduBc.
ooi, practical calculation is
not a characteristic of this
hotly emotional kind jpcft
nticai leadership.
Unlike a great many other
people including, apparently,
President Eisenhower, thi re
porter is deeply convinced
that the Marines ought to 64
foliar) It TV in ftArfiM i v
stances. They should be called
up, for instance, if Cube U
clearly becoming a Soviet
base in the Western Hemi-
phere, or if there is any threat
to the Panama Canal. Keprit
als against Cuba are not auto
matically deplorable becaus
reprisals are inherently un
thinkable in this lovely, lov
able, sanitized modern vorld.
But it is deplorable it is
close to lunatic to talk about
reprisals without considering
the probable end of the game
of tit-for-tat. Those who think
Cuba is already a Soviet base,
and are ready to call up the
Marines, are justified in talk
ing about reprisals. Everyone
else had better wait and me.
Meanwhile they can also pray
for an eventual bearable se
sult in Cuba, which is not in
conceivable. (Copyright, 1960, Hew r
