That record is un matched. And the stand of Turkey against the threats if international communism and their steadfast partnership with the West against the pressures of the Kremlin have helped to maintain the peace of the world. It is because of this magnif icent record that I am sorry to see a situation developing about which I had had some misgivings for some time. As a friend of Turkey and the Turkish people I know it will not be taken amiss when I suggest that a nation cannot suppress the press without jeopardizing all freedoms. Im prisoning journalists, especial ly at a time in history when freedom is on the march and needs truth as an ally, is a grave mistake and can only lead to trouble. Press Can B Unkind I have not always been a champion of all the practices of the press. There are times when the press can be unkind and irresponsible. But I would rather risk the excesses of the press than the curbing of the unrestricted freedom of ex pression. Democracy cannot exist or prosper without a free press, and the full ex pression of a people of their considered judgement. I hope that Turkey will so resolve its difficulties with regard to the press in the light of the needs of the times and Turkey's im portant role in the family of free nations. The events in South Africa have been distressing. Much f what has happened was foretold by that great South African statesman Jan Christ ian Smuts. He led in the op position to race discrimination with its denial of human rights.- Out of this tragedy in South Africa which aroused the concern of nations throughout the world, there must inevitably come change of policy. I hope that with sanity and common sense a peaceful solution will soon be possible. Net Over-Optimistic I do not think I am over- optimistic, in predicting that in our time Digotry ana intol erance about race and religion can yield to reason and good will. I would suggest that new measures be taken with out further delay through the United Nations to seek im provement between the races throughout the world. In mat.y areas of the world im portant gains have been made toward that goal but I can see where a certain amount of partnership with the United Nations would hasten progress in some of the trouble spots. And I am sorry to say that in our own hemisphere there are areas where liberty is being threatened. In Cuba, for instance, freedom and human dignity, restricted by the Batista dictatorship, are once again being subverted and this time in the name of revolution by the Castro dic tatorship. Castro has suppressed the freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right of the people to free elections. And the Cuban people and the nation 'today are going through a serious economic situation, and are being di rected into adventure beyond the capacity of either the inept Castro or his reckless advisors to guide or admin ister. Playing Dangerous Cam Castro is playing the dan gerous game of using as a whipping boy, the United States, the traditional friend and liberator of the Cuban people. If Castro is doing this to perpetuate himself in power, he is doomed to dis appointment. And his trade arrangements with the Com munists will only get him into deeper trouble as similar agreements have done to others who have played this kind of game. I wonder what Castro thinks he can accomplish by importing oil from Russia in to Cuba in Russian bottoms, when oil is available in such abundance from several of his South American neighbors. I wonder, too, what he thinka he can accomplish by seeking to subvert the affairs of other nation! in this hemi sphere, and I am not referring to the situation in the Domin ican Republic. Does he think the mess he is making of his own country constitutes an acceptable model for' other freedom loving people to em ulate? Will Will Prevail Castro will find that the will of the people in Cuba, as elsewhere, will prevail against attempts to suppress their freedom and their rights. It is one thing to lead a people, and something else again to deceive and mislead t?m. I believe that it is not un likely that what has just traspired in Korea will hap- Peter Gunnar Denies Political Trickery For Republican Job Salem - (UPD - Oregon Re publican Chairman Peter Gun' nar has denied a charge by John Merrifield, Portland in surance man, that Gunnar got Merrifield and Wendell Wyatt of Astoria to withdraw from the contest for GOP national committeeman so Gunnar could run for the job by him self. Merrifield said it amounted to political "trickery" on Gunnar'a part and announced that he too would be a write in candidate for GOP national committeeman in the state primary May 20. Face To Face Meeting "There Is no truth in these charges and John Merrifield knows this," Gunnar said. "On Sunday I had a face to face meeting with John and thoroughly explained my positions and actions. He has also talked with other lead ing Republicans and kndws that I have not tricked or de ceived him. He has a perfect right to run for this or any other office and I have never denied him that right." Merrifield and Wyatt with drew from the national com mitteeman race on the last day of filing, leaving no can didates. About one month later Gunnar announced his write-in candidacy. Merrifield said that Gunnar advised him and Wyatt that if both withdrew, then party funds could be used else where and a possible GOP party split could be avoided. In Astoria, Wyatt, former GOP state party chairman, backed up Gunnar. "Gunnar pointed out to me the futility of two leading Re publicans running against each other for national com mitteeman," he said. "I be lieve that at the time he did so Gunnar had no intention or thought of running for the position himself." Wyatt said that he has "no intention" now of being a write-in candidate. National committeemen and committee women are elected in the primary rather than in the general election. Merrifield's announcement makes it a four-way contest for GOP national committee man. With Gunnar, the others are William E. Coultas, Port land shoe salesman, and Low ell Paget, Portland insurance man. HELP We mm ektffcia. tbeea, . rafstihara, m kotfia , W. 4k 0.

As I look at these trouble spots around the world, I can not lightly dismiss some sit uations here at home in our own country. The idals of freedom and the d.enity of man are part of our basic outlook on life and the law. Yet there are some people who at this late stage of our development as a democracy are reluctant to recognize the basic rights of all our citizens, regardless of race, creed or color. Bigotry is a hard thing to eradicate from the minds of some people, even among the educated. But when bigotry invades the basic rights of others it can lead to lawless ness and the suppression of individual rights and human dignity. The moral codes of most religions have stressed human dignity, and we should live by it. established Prejudices In dealing with this distres sing human problem of big otry and intolerance, we are confronted with established prejudices and habits. We must try to overcome these in every peaceful way through education and by example. We have made great progress since the war between the states, as, for instance, in my own state of Missouri where practical measures were tak en by leaders of whites and Negroes to do away with seg regation, and there has been no violence and no persecu tion. On the contrary, there has been growing understand ing and cooperation between all the people. I am sure that my position regarding discrimination, big otry and intolerance is known. Recently I made a statement about so-called "sit down" demonstrations in pri vate establishments. What I had to say had no reference to the basic issue of segrega tion, which I oppose. Could Lead To Violence What I had in mind was my fear that any invasion of pri vate rights for whatever cause would give aid and comfort to segregationists and provide them not only with an excuse to prolong their resistance to integration, but would afford them the excuse to Invade the private rights of Negroes. Medford Section B ' ) o TnTTTTT, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1960 Either way, this could lead to violence and a setback for all the things we had been striving for. I am against the use of violence, especially in a nation such as ours where democracy and the govern ment are seeking to assure individual rights and human dignity to ail. I thing that what we must do now is to get the leaders of both sides together to try to work out something along the lines that has proved so success ful in Missouri. We must set an example for the entire world by the way we deal with our own problems of safeguarding the rights and dignity of the in dividual without any excep tion as to the race or religion of our citizens.
