Cars and Smog
It will be interesting to see how well the new
Calif omia legislation requiring anti-smog devices
on automobiles works out.
There have been some pretty optimistic fore
casts about it. Smith Griswold, director of the
Los Angeles county air pollution district, said
"there is no question" but what the new law will
mean southern California will be rid of smog
within five or six years.
Final design of the devices has not yet been
chosen. Auto manufacturers and others are work
ing on several different designs, and the law sets
up a state board to certify successful ones.
A FTER this is done, all new cars will be re
quired to be equipped with anti-smog attach
ments, and, unless counties or air pollution 'dis
tricts provide exemptions,
mercial vehicles will have them after a certain
period of time.
How well they work

which in a few years will go through town along
the east bank of Bear
the air.
That will be bad enough; from an aesthetic
and town-dividing standpoint. But if, at the same
time, it became a chief
pall over the downtown
insupportable.
THE state's air pollution report for Medford,
made public last week, mentioned the auto
exhaust problem briefly.
"A two-day survey was conducted ... to determine
If significant concentrations of .the gases and particles
which create the Los Angeles type of smog are present
In Medford.
"This form of air pollution is created by reactions
, between unsaturated hydrocarbons, mostly from gaso
line and other petroleum fuels, with oxidizing sub
stances in the presence ot sunlight.
"From samples taken . . . hourly concentrations
of oxidant, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and
sulfur dioxide were obtained. The concentrations found
were in general below the amounts necessary to create
nuisance conditions. However, the tests showed high
oxidizing potential present, Indicating possibility of
chemical reactions which could cause smog of the Los
Angeles type if other contaminants were present In
significant amounts. . .-
"The . . . samples were taken when conditions were
favorable for dilution of air pollutants. For compari
son, the procedure should be repeated during the fall
and winter season when wind velocity is low and
temperature inversion conditions possible."

Confusing
Voters in Pendleton
or oetter than z to 1, turned down a proposal to
junk the city manager form of city government.
The campaign was hard fought and, judging
by newspaper accounts of it, dirty, in spots.
It appeared that a group of Pendleton resi
dents were mad at the city manager, so, after
they failed to persuade the city council to dis
charge the manager, they attacked the entire
system of government.
THEIR effort failed, as it deserved to do.
No public official, no matter what his tal
ents, can please everyone. And it seems like a
destructive way of going about things to attempt
to overturn an entire organization just to get at
one man.
If a form of government needs changing,
change it, on the merits of the matter. If a public
official isn't doing his job, see that he's fired. But
don't confuse the two.

UNDERDOGGERY

least is clear. Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota is a

sin victory of Sen. John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts
was really a rather shab
by performance. Only under
doggery beyond normal com
pare could have made the
same people say that Humph
reay's heavy defeat was really
not so very heavy after all.
Though Humphrey was run
ning, it must be remembered,
as the self-prcclalmed "third
Senator.'-, from' ' Wisconsin,"
right in his own political back
yard, hia announced purpose
was to show that Kennedy
could never carry any- Mid-
Western state. For this pur
pose, he chose to challenge
Kennedy in a state notorious
for its dislike of well-heeled
Easterners,
AFTER making this choice
Humphrey of course
claimed that Wisconsin's con
siderable Catholic population
constituted an unfair advan
tage for Kennedy. But the per
centage of Catholics in
Humphrey's own Minnesota is
slightly larger, If anything,
than the percentage in Wis
consin. And if Republican
Catholics voted for Kennedy
in the Wisconsin Democratic
primary, there is just as much
evidence to show that Repub
lican Protestants voted for
Humphrey.
In addition, Humphrey of
course claimed to be "the poor
man's candidate." To be sure,
Kennedy owns his own plane,
whereas Humphrey merely
chartered a plane whenever
he needed one. To be sure,
Humphrey's declared cam
paign spending was well be
low Kennedy's. But the Hum
phrey accounting tactfully
and legally omitted the tele
vision time, billboard adver
tising, and the like, which had
been contracted for outside
Wisconsin. Adding in the un
announced outlays, the Hum
phrey campaign was quite
plainly just about as well fi
nanced as his rival s.
By any sane test, therefore,
Humphrey was running
against Kennedy In Wisconsin
rather better than even
terms. He also waged a no-holds-barred
campaign while
Senntor Kennedy avoided the
URlier forms of fratricidal
warfare. In the outcome,
however, Kennedy won a
whopping 97 per cent of the
vote in the Democratic pri
mary. ...
KENNEDY also took six of
Wisconsin's ten Congres
sional Districts, carrying all of
them by margins of 99 per
cent or more. Mumphrey car
ried only two districts, both
on the Minnesota border, by
comparably comfortable mar
gins. In the other two Con
gressional Districts that went
for Humphrey, the Second
and the Tenth, a total switch
of only 3.900 votes wouH
have given the victory to K
nedy.
Kennedy further ran ip a
huge majority among 'he in
dustrial workers, although the
workers' union leaders were
working hard for Humphrey.
Kennedy further won B of the
16 farm counties in central
and eastern Wisconsin, al
though Humphrey attacked
the weak spots In Kennedy's
farm record with unbridled
ferocity. In fact the more
westerly farm counties, which
Humphrey has genuinely ser
ved as a third Senator, were
the Minncsotan'a one main
area of success. These he car
ried, 26 out of 28.
If Kennedy had won this

kind of victory at the outset,
before the art of underdog
gery could be practiced, the
Wisconsin result would have
been universally accepted as a
brilliant triumph for the Mas
sachusetts Senator. It could
very well have nailed down
the big state delegations that
Kennedy needs to be nomina
ted, without any further ado
elsewhere. As matters stand,
however, Kennedy has merely
achieved an extremely solid
success. He must still fight on

Humphrey is running as a
serious candidate in his own
right, his defeat In Wisconsin
can be considered as close to
final as anything ever is in
American politics. After this,
he has far less chance than
he had at the outset to secure
the Democratic Presidential
nomination, and his chance at
the outset was exceedingly
slim.
It may be, of course, that
Humphrey is not running as

It is only the morning af

this article is written, and
there are not

anal ysis of

voters are disposed to vote.
But even without these de
tails it Is evident that the
result in Wisconsin is Inde
cisive, that for Kennedy,
Humphrey, and for Nixon as
well, it has brought forth a
Scotch verdict of "Not prov
en." The nomination of the
Democratic candidate and the
outcome of the national elec
tion will not be forecast, as
some have said, by the Wis
consin primary. It will re
quire some very fancy Inter
preting and inferring from
very inadequate facts to treat
this primary as a forecast of
the election.
Thus, as against Humphrey,
the Kennedy vote is 57 per
cent. But while this is a sub
stantial victory, it throws
very little light on the na
tion a 1 election. Kennedy's
vote, for example, is around
half-a-mllllon. This is only
about one-third of 'he total
Eisenhower-Stevenson vote
cast in Wisconsin in the na
tional election of 1056. More
over, though there is evidence
that Kennedy's half-a-milllon
contain a percentage of Cath
olic Republicans who would
probably stay with him in
November, there is no way of
telling how many of Hum
phrey's substantial minority
would vote for Kennedy in
November.

How About Thai?
To the Editor: I read your
story on April 6 about the
poor soul that waited 2V4
hours for adequate medical
care. How about that? Now I
know that none of us should
get sick on the streets of Med
ford and go to the Sacred
Heart hospital.
Of course, in your next to
the last dying breath, you
could tell them if you had the
money for their help. And if
you have the loot, you got It
made. That is if the nurses
could diagnose your ailment.
It is also nice to know that
our ambulance service is so
thoughtful in saving our lives.
As for the Camp White doc
tors turning the man down,
that's nothing new to them.
What is wrong with people
here? Does a dime mean so
much more to them than help
ing a poor man who needs
help?
The poor soul is no doubt a
war veteran. And It was all
right that with our so-called
helpers that we went out to
fight for them, but asked noth
ing from them unless you
have a little green stuff in
your pocket book.
The article said it wasn't
known whether Rogue Valley
hospital had been contacted.
You needn't worry about what
they would have done. I can
tell you. When my husband
was in there with a heart at
tack, the third day, still under
an oxygen tent, the office help
came to his room and asked
him for money to pay his bill
They didn't care U you lived
or died, ai long as you paid
them.
I realize that the man that
was picked up Monday night
might be a drunk, and never
paid his bills. But I don't
think that gives anyone the
right to refuse help to some
one that needs help and medi
cal care.
The only one out of the
whole mess that was human
was the Medford policeman
who tried to help.

to me, an attempt to short
circuit the deliberations of
the convention, and to stam
pede it.
The theory that the nom
ination should go to the man
who wins the most primaries
rests on a number of dubious
assumptions. One is that these
few scattered primaries with
their very different rules are
a true sample of the whole
national electorate. There is
no reason to think that they
are, since we know from past
experience that in a state like
Wisconsin, for example, the
primaries do not reliably pre
dict the outcome in Novem
ber. Another dubious assump
tion is that the best candidate
and the best President will
necessarily be a man who has
the time to enter the primar
ies, who has the money and
the energy and the endurance
to fight them, and who has an
appetite for the trivialities
and the half-truths and the
special pleading and the per
sonal exhibitionism which
are almost the whole of the
actual campaigning.
It Is not so, and the Wis
consin primary campaign, like
the Stevcnson-Kcfauver cam
paign of 1956, has reduced,
it has not raised, the Presi
dential stature of the con
testants. e
AT BOTTOM, the attempt to
r e a c h - the nomination
through the direct primaries
poses the wrong question. It
asks whether X can rally
more votes than Y, and It by
passes the real question,
which is whether OC or Y
would be the better President
ot the United States. If either
Kennedy or Humphrey made
one serious considered speech
on the great national issues,
It was, so far as my reading
in the newspapers goes, not
reported to the nation.
This is. I think, a pity. For
both Kennedy and Humphrey
are in fact well aware of and
well educated to the chal
lenge which the country must
meet In the years immcdi
ately ahead of us. Both of
them are very eligible men
But no one would know this
from Wisconsin.
And. therefore, I say, let
each of them take out some

the contrary is often the case.
Magnified Issue
To the Editor: Your article
in the April 6 issue of your
paper concerning the mis
treatment of an individual at
the Sacred Heart Hospital
was one of the most sorry
examples of news reporting
that I have seen In some time
in print.
Not only was the article
Incomplete and inaccurate but
also obviously smacked of ul
terior motivation. If not so,
why then, the bland attempt
at clarification in the follow
ing editorial? Accuracy does
not require explanation!
To discredit an organiza
tion such as the Sacred Heart
Hospital, which you have
stated to be on the verge of
bankruptcy, for lack of char
ity is utterly incongruous on
the part of any kind of news
reporting.
There are those among us
who desire one central com
munity hospital. Their rea
sons could be many and
varied. It would certainly be
a sad day to even think that
this magnified issue could be
a means to that end, particu
larly in view of the many
years that Sacred Heart Hos
pital has served Jackson
county.

He Was Shocked
To the Editor: I was, to
say the least, shocked to read
a news Item in Wednesday's
paper, that a person was de
nied admittance to Sacred
Heart hospital because he had
previously not paid his bill.
Not long ago I remember
reading that both hospitals
had been receiving county
funds for this purpose and
were asking for more.
What is this world coming
to when humans are given
less consideration than we
would give to a dumb animal?
. Camp White is maintained
by public tax funds and is
supposed to care for veterans,
yet they would not send an
ambulance for the man.
Do the people who refused
to help this man consider
themselves Christians? If so
I would refer them to Mat

What Would Christ
Have Done?
To the Editor: The front
page article in Wednesday's
Mail Tribune concerning the
2'i hours spent obtaining hos
pitalization for an III man, has
made me do some thinking.
My mind went back to an ac.
cident scene last summer just
over the Siskiyou summit.
The man was In a hurry,
the corner was too sharp for
the speed he was traveling
Result: he piled up,
I came on the scene a few
minutes later. A state high

bulance. We dared not move
the victim. He presented
sight we don't care to think
of. He lay on his back in a
mass ot broken fruit jars with
tomato preserves, jam and
blood all mixed together. We
waited and waited. Finally
time from Uiis rushing around
shaking hands. Let them
stand up on the floor of the

Bob Corbin. manager of the
Medford theaters, brought
us a magasine a week or eo

praising him for the job he
did in promoting "Dog of

We've been idly wondering

But we weren't. Not yet.
So let It be recorded for
all to see that we received

We'll briefly skip on from

Later, when Wally was bet

was in Medford on that fateful
day. Now it came to light why
our long wait. To add to it,
our friend's bill showed mile
age from Medford and back
again. I might add, you don't
travel in an ambulance at
Greyhound bus rates either.
Now back to Wednesday's
tale of the 49-year-old transi

convulsions. Our friend Wally
got help and it was evident
from the new car he was in

Does one have to be driving

The Herald is catholic in
its taste, and its article, rano-p
the full gamut of Its editors'
interests.
In the April 2 Issue, our
friend Bob has an article
which goes like this:
ELECTION BY BOB BEN
NETT "It is getting time again
that we elect new staff mem
bers. All staff members
should be thinking of who
they want for certain posi

concise.
Bob Kolkemo has a list of

You get the Idea. The Hav
en Herald Is full of news, in
formation, editorial opinions,
features. II ' well worth the
nickel it costs its 20 or so

Maybe they'll start taking
advertisements one of these
days, and then they'll prob

size from two pages to three.
