Questionnaire
Congressman Walter
sented Oregon's First District for many years, has
sent us a copy of the results of a questionnaire he
took in his district recently.
It has a number of items of considerable inter
est. First of all, though, it should be noted that
such questionnaires are not conclusive ; that they
do not represent an accurate "sampling" of the
population of the district; and as a result do not
afford a realistic view of majority opinion in the
district.
rTHE FIRST District (which includes the north
west part of the state, from Corvallis and
Salem to Astoria) is preponderantly Republican,
and Norblad, as a Republican, is apt to have pro
portionately more Republicans than Democrats
on his mailing list. t
Also, he is apt to receive more replies from
Republicans on the list than from Democrats.
So, while one may discount the results of the
questionnaire on that basis, it does offer some in
teresting results when viewed as a sampling of
predominantly Republican voter thought.
LISTED below are the
until fVio Voa "Mr, "
centages of the replies:
1. Should labor unions be
under anti-trust laws? . . 87 9 4
2. In an effort to combat' juvenile
delinquency, should the Federal

And still another, the 7(5 per cent who favor

third is the 83 per cent who favor giving the

Man's Best Friend
To the Editor: It seems to
me that a law making it man
datory to keep a dog confined
or tied the year round is the
ultimate example of man's
cruelty to defenseless animals.
Did you ever notice the hurt
bewildered look In a dog's
eyes when you hold a chain
or leash up and say, "Come
on boy, come and be tied"?
A dog has always been and
always will be man's best
friend and what a beautiful
devotion exists between a
small boy and his dog. Is this
cruel and unjust law then to
be our repayment to this kind
ly, loyal animal?
I will agree that dogs do
some small amount of damage,
but on the other hand, this
world wasn't meant to be an
Utopia and if we passed or
dinances and laws to prevent
every small problem we
would be so restricted we
would hardly dare breathe!
I feel that if nobody has a
bigger problem than a dog
tresspassing on their proper
ty they are very fortunate in
deed. Let's not punish the whole
dog population for the misde
meanors of a few.
Let's keep our dogs free to
play with our children.
Lets treat our pets with
humane consideration and
thoughtfulness.
Let's unite, friends and
neighbors of Jacksonville, lets
unite and demand that this
measure be put on the ballot
of the September election, so
that a majority can decide on
this important Issue.
Let's not accept the dic
tates of a very, very small
minority.

trol measure is now in effect

Not "Just Another Person"
To the Editor: The story
about the man they wouldn't
admit to the hospital makes
me think of this time two
years ago, when our little
girl was burned. She had
first, second and third degree
burns from the middle of her
stomach around to the middle
of her back.
We had already seen a doe-
tor at Trail, and he told us
to take her directly to the
hospital. When we got to the
hospital we were asked to
wait In the waiting room be
cause they couldn't get in
touch with our doctor. We
sat in the waiting room for a
good three hours or more.
The hospital wouldn't admit
her unless the doctor would
take her as his patient. By
the way, this hospital was
the Rogue Valley Memorial.
For the people who hate to
believe such stories, did you
ever try to hold a 4-year-old
child In your arms for 3 hours
without being burned?
I think we would have felt
much better U we could have
layed her down in the emer
gency room or somewhere.
Those people who hate to
look at the truth should just
stop and think someday this
might be you instead of just
another person.

A.D.C. Problems
To the Editor: I've wanted
to write a letter for so long
for us A.D.C. cases. There
may be cases where steril
iziation is the answer and I
can see a few, but oh, how
in God's name are the Wel
fare Commissioners going to
judge such? One mistake God
will surely forget, maybe
more, as we are not to judge
his way on earth. But very
few make the same mistake
over.
I know there may be a few
A.D.C. cases where money is
spent wrong, but most of us
worry from month to next,
figure every penny, and I will
go hungry before my children
go to school shabby. 1 still
have four In school, one little
one at home, and, yes, those
teen agers cat more than we
are allowed for the rest to
gether.
Summer is coming. My
teen agers will be cut off
completely and they still eat
-so the rest of us will be cut
off too. Who will hire a 14-year-old
boy, or 15-year-old
girl, when men are out of
work? I know I wouldn't if
I was In a position to hire.
Would you?
At Christmas I was lucky,
very lucky, so many people
gave me food for holidays. I
wonder If they knew how
much they help"d me. I know
they couldn't possibly know.
Yet I felt little, very little,
taking stuff that people work
for, for the isclvcs. But deep
down I knew how It would
help me when summer came.
I spent $1.50 a month on the
paper, I must cut it off for
three summer months but I
enjoy It, so do the kids, as
thank God my children love
to read.

papers for my walls, but I
can't go beg for It. If I offered
to work to pay for it, I sup
pose I'd be getting paid. It
would be cut off my check,
but even though we are poor
we still like a clean house.

Park Questionnaire
To the Editor: I want to
give you the results of the
questionnaire I mailed March
8 to all owners of property
within the boundaries of the
proposed Neuberger National
Seashore. The questionnaire
went to 398 persons, the
names of whom were sup
plied by the National Park
Service. Anyone who owns
property in the proposed area
and didn't get one should let
me know.
As I write this I have re
ceived 132 replies (33.2 per
cent) from the property own.
ers. Of those, 85, or 64.4 per
cent of those replying, said
they did not favor the pro
posed recreation area. Eleven
(8.3 per cent of those reply.
lng) said they did not favor
It, but were not opposed to
it under any conditions
Twenty-eight people (21.2
per cent of those replying)
favored the park under any
conditions and eight more
(6.1 per cent of those reply
ing) favored the park under
certain conditions.
A further analysis of the
returns provides this break
down: Of the 132 replies, 85 (64.5
per cent) oppose the park
while 47 (35.6 per cent) favor
a park. Of this last group 11
(8.3 per cent) have certain
reservations.
Those who actively oppose
a park under any conditions
feel strongly and have taken
the time to let me know. It
seems apparent , that two
thirds have no strong feelings
about the park either pro or
con.
I found in going over the
questionnaires that many who
opposed the park listed what
they felt were needed changes
in the bill, such as "ample
money appropriated to pur
chase all private property re'
quired for the area and a
new formula for life tenure."
I welcomed these ideas.
Many opposing the park as
now proposed said they would
withdraw their opposition if
the park boundaries would
include only the sand dunes
west of Highway 101, exclud
ing homesites and farm tanas
as now proposed.
The replies contained many
good suggestions. Land tenure
will be spelled out clearly.
I have inquired to see what
will be done if houses are
huilt or enlarged or busi
nesses erected after the date
of enactment.
The primary objection to
the park as proposed seems
to center around the feeling
of some property owners that
they would not receive fair
consideration. I don't think
this will prove to be so
think we can enact a piece
nf nnrk legislation which will
be ecnerally acceptable and
advantageous lor years io
come to the majority-both in
side and outside the proposed
park area.

To the Editor: We sports
car enthusiasts select our cars
with a view of maneuver
ability (which is extraordt
nary), steering (which is ac
curate), and roadibility (which
is suporb). Moreover, we are
ready to convince anyone
who will listen, that the size
of our car, be it Sprite, TR3
or Jaguar Mark JX, is the
only correct size. We argue
long and loud on the merits
of our cars, but essentially
we apprecite all automobiles
that are well engineered and
can be driven purely for the
fun of it.
We realize t h a t a razor
blade was not designed for
wood carving, and thus, that
the machinery we drive de
mands to be driven, not mere
ly aimed. The skill and pre
cision we achieve learning to
become a part of our cars
requires testing, and thus we
have sports car clubs, uuos,
as well as true enthusiasts

Matter of Fact By j0Ph auop.
THE KHRUSHCHEV
ENIGMA
Washington - The Western
Foreign Ministers have now
assembled in Washington to
prepare for the summit meet
ing in May. Time is getting
short. They
must agree on
the summit
positions to be
taken by the
Western Al
lies, either
here, or at the
later NATO
meeting in Is
tanbul, or at
EPH ju!sflp their final
rally in Paris just before the
summit conference Itself.
By now these Western
meetings that fumble toward
unity, and the long-endured
lack of Western unity which
they reveal, are both almost
tiresomely familiar. But the
Western meeting has a new
feature. It is obsessed, it is
all but dominated, by the
enigma of Nikita S. Khrush
chev.
The signs of this mounting
obsession are plain to be
seen. The American Ambas
sador to Moscow, Lewellyn
Thompson, Jean Lalols of the
French Foreign Office, and
all the other Western experts
on Soviet affairs have gather
ed here fo demonological de
bates that will greatly influ
ence the Foreign Ministers.
After the present meeting, too,
the senior American demon-
ologist, Charles E. Bohlen,
will pass ten days in Moscow
n search of new clues and
fresh impressions.
ALL THIS is because Soviet
behavior, so Dredictable In
the simple, rigid years of
Josef Stalin, has come to seem
more and more enigmatic. On
the eve of the summit, when
there is such need for clear
understanding of Khrush
chev's aims, the demonologists
are only sure that "the puzzle
has a missing piece some-
where"-as one of them put it.
As new evidence accum
ulates, it merely complicates
the puzzle's pattern, instead
of clarifying it. Much was
hoped, for instance, from
Khrushchev's long and Inti
mate talks with Gen. Charles
de Gaulle. Here, it was said,
was the preliminary contact
that would tell the west what
Khrushchev, would do at the
summit.
The de Gaulle-Khrushchev
talks took place in total iso.
lation. Gen. de Gaulle even
chose to use an interpreter
from his own staff, instead of
a foreign service, officer. Thus
it is not quite certain that
even the atmosphere of these
encounters is fully understood
here. But if the atmosphere
and course of the talks have
been correctly represented to
the American government,
they were encouraging. Or at
any rate, they were encourag
ing as far as they went.

Chou Due for Visit
Chinese note delivered to
New Delhi April 3 in which
the Chinese stayed with their
previous demands but noted
that "thanks to the efforts of
the Chinese and Indian gov-
not yield any substantive
point. But he discussed the
Berlin question In a manner
that did not indicate the
slightest intention to press his
demands to a stpge of ultimate
crisis. The Impression was
conveyed that he would not
change his Berlin aims, but
would not risk war to attain
them, either. He even seemed
to envision more than one
summit meeting; and this
would at least mean no great
storm over Berline this year.
But if this is Khrushchev s
real approach to the Berlin
question then why has he so
often given vent to roars of
naked menace about Berlin?
Why was he so mildly polite
to France's President de
Gaulle, when he was so
brutally rude to Italy's Pres
ident Gronchl? Was Khrush-chev-with-Gronchi
or Khrush-chev-with-de
Gaulle the true,
basic, inner Khrushchev?
The Soviet experts' study
of these riddles is further
complicated by other riddles
of a more basic character. For
example, Khrushchev has
passed an astonishing amount
of time abroad in the last
year. In the last two months,
he has hardly more than
touched base in the Soviet
Union. According to a compu
tation prepared by order of
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter, Khrushchev has
also made several scores of
speeches in the last 60 days,
almost all of them dealing
with foceign affairs. Mean
while, no other, Soviet leader
has said a word in public
about foreign policy.
But does this mean that
Khrushchev is so sure of his
own position that he can leave
domestic problems to his
lieutenants, while he devotes
himself almost exclusively to
world problems? The experts
are far from sure. ,'
.
rPHE GREAT exile among
the American demonolo
gists, George F. Kennan.has
even gathered interesting evi
dence that Khrushchev's per
sonal authority ; has lately
been declining in tne Kremlin.
Last autumn Alexel Kirichen-
ko, who used to be regarded
as one of the two strongest
younger men In the Soviet
Presidium, was suddenly ban
ished to the provinces. This
clearly Implied the existence
of some sort of political fer
ment on the very highest
Kremlin levels. But was the
ferment halted by Kirichen
ko s banishment, or does it
continue, as Kennan, for one,
believes?
Then again, are the British
demonologists correct in argu
ing that the West ought to
deal especially generously
with Khrushchev now, . be
cause we shall have someone
far worse to deal with later
on? Or are the American and
French experts on the Soviet
Union correct in making the
contrary assumption?
Normally, such a list of
questions is hardly news. But
since -the list reveals funda
mental uncertainty on points
of fundamental importance
it has major significance.-

In its April 3 note, Red
China expressly denied that
the Simla Convention of 1913
14 discussed the boundary
question between Indian and
China
That convention, held In
Simla In the Punjab, north of
New Delhi, set up the Mc
Mahon line which India claims
is the Sino-Indian border. In
1914 and 1919, the Chinese
repudiated their spokesman's
signature on the Simla Con
vention, but it is the Indian
contention that the repudia
tion dealt only with the
boundary between Tibet and
China and not the boundary .
between India and Tibet.
Since Red China has taken
over Tibet, it is that boun
dary which is one of those
in dispute.
The boundary between In
dia and China runs some 2,200 '
miles and follows the line of
mountains and watersheds
drawn at the Simla Confer
ence by Britain's plenipoten
tiary, Henry McMahon.
In some areas the border
runs through land totally un
inhabited. In others, there are
primitive tribes.
India's Ministry of External
Affairs has published a pam
phlet tracing the history of
agreements peeceding the
border dispute, along with a
map of the disputed area.
It shows that China recog
nized existing borders by
treaty or other documents go
ing back as far as 1842, con
tinuing well into the 1950's.
It was in 1951, however, that
Chinese maps began including
territory traditionally consid
ered Indian and setting the
stage for the present dispute.
