C3K) I Z) KJ KJ O There's quite an assemblage of "do-gooders and bleeding hearts" (to use thi phrass so bt- loved by stand-pat era and status quo ers) wno believe that society can and should make efforts to alleviate the problems of juvenile delinquency. (If being a "do-gooder and btebdlrij; lisr" is to bslieve that intelligence and cooperative pffort can lead to beneficial results lor society then we stand with DGs nfiither here nor there.) The New York Herald carried an editorial wh ch claims that organized social efforts can, and do, help society. , , , , . pjERE is what it said, in part: ". . . New York City, for the first time since 1952, shows a decline (5.9 per cent) of children's, cases In the courts. For the whole state, the drop ia even greater (8 2 per cent), the first reversal of the upward trend since 1050. ". , . This is evidence of 'increasingly effective work with youth by police, schools, youth boards and other public and voluntary agencies.' "The further point is made that such results come from improved understanding of children'! problems and needs that something can indeed be done, and li being done, to prevent Juvenile delin quency. "Having demonstrated this, the obvious thing Is to keep pressing." IN THIS complicated, tension-filled world, many people are in need of help help which only public social agencies, backed by the citizenry at large, are equipped to render, f nvate agencies no longer are capable of doing the job. The problem of juvenile delinquency is one area where help is needed help more enlight ened than Mr. J. Edgar Hoover's unbelievably callous and short-sighted advice to the effect that Sunday school is the remedy for all such ills. So it is trood to learn, through the cold sta tistics of the New York State Youth Commission, that efforts along these lines are, indeed, bearing fruit. If properly pursued and supported, they will pay off in many ways more responsible, educated adults; lowered taxes; better commu nities; a stronger nation. E. A. H.R. H. and Mr. Jones A small boy once used ful it would be to be a king or a prince a person of great importance and No more. Eyeing the to-do being made over today's weddintr of Princess Margaret of Great Britain and Mr. Anthony Armstrong-Jones, one wonders how these pleasant-appearing young people man age to keep heir senses of perspective and humor it, indeed, tney cio so manage. Thev not onlv are deDrivedof privacy: they are in fact public property, to be subjected to advice, criticism, adulation, or recriminations for their every action, their every appearance, MEWSPAPERS feel free to pry into the most intimate details of their lives. Commentators discuss their clothes, their habits, their histories and temperaments and virtues. European royalty, or marriacre of a British princess to a commoner, and ritain s press gets peeved. I he Queen, ignoring riticism, seats the bridegroom's parents (di vorced) in a choice position in Westminster Abbey. And so it goes. The bachelor-girl Princess finally has found a husband ; the bohemian pho tographer becomes "Cinderfella." There's hardly been so much excitement since the abdication of King 7IEWED from our own " in the midst of petty sometimes wonders if H.R.H. and Mr. Jones would be happier as handsome, but otherwise nondescript, simple people. It is a vain thought. One cannot cast off the trappings of royal tradition. Even the Duke of Windsor is a prisoner. In the case ot rnncess Margaret, it is a role which she did not choose, but which she accepts as part of her duty and heritage. Mr. Jones, we fear, will find it a difficult, demanding, and often frustrating life. It will have glamor, pomp, notoriety But, from way out here in the provinces, one is in clined to feel a bit sorry for these two nice appearing young people, every once in a while. We wish them every happiness they can find. E.A. Music Is for the Ears This is National Music Week, an observance of which we approve.

I DON'T TBUSTMSU1, Washington Report By WILIIAM HAND-IN.Ql.OVE Washington - The hand Is Elsenhower's. The glove is Nixon's. And this hand-In- glove arrange ment is firm ly grasp 1 n g the Initiative on what his torically has been a Demo cratic - and not a Repub lican - Issue, that nf n r ft. White international ism. President Elsenhower and William R Vice - President Nixon are putting the squeeze most pain fully on the Democrats In this whole area. Not the least im portant consequence is to give Nixon a massive buildup as the Republican presidential nominee for the approaching campaign- Most notably Messrs. Eisen hower and Nixon are publicly challenging this Democratic Congress to bring off a posi tive miracle, a foreign aid ap propriation of the full $4.1 billions asked by the Presi dent. It is a long-established and well-understood rule of the game that no president ever gets every dollar he asks. All the same, Eisenhower and Nixon are demanding an ab solutely Intact loaf of bread THEY really do want it, true enough. But In all candor they know perfectly well they never could expect to get all this. The technique Is simply the best possible assurance of avoiding really deep congressional cuts. And in political terms strong medicine, indeed, is being made for Nixon by Mr. Eisenhower. This is not mero ly on foreign aid; it is all across the board of the "peace issue." First, there was the Presi dent's suggestion that he might find it desirable to have Nixon sit In for him for a time at the Paris summit' con ference. The President's rea sons for this were not parti san. His real purpose was to let the Soviet Union know that the President would not sit out any meeting deliber ately lengthened by the Rus sians for mare propaganda ad vantage. Still, the thing had an un deniably helpful effect on Nixon's presidential ambi tions. Some Democrats rose to protest. But their com plaint, while entirely under standable, only helped furth er to promote Nixon. For it was repudiated by the head Democrat of them all, for mer President Truman. After all, as Mr. Truman himself said In effect, you can't tell any president what use he is Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF DEXTER FELLOWS, probably the greatest circus press agent of them all, liked to tell of the night a lion escaped from his cage. A posse was formed to recapture the beast, but before the hunt be gan, the brave volunteers repaired to a nearby tav ern for a couple of stiff ones. Only Fellows declined to partake. "Not for me, boys," he insisted. "Hard liquor makes me too darn courageous." e e . An Indignant customer returned for credit to his tookstor a copy of "The Romance of Cattle Rais ing."

C)J, by Kejritt Cwt. retributed by King nature jadlcM S. WHITE to make or not make of his vice-president. NEXT, the administration let it be known that the Vice-President had been Im portantly Involved . in ar ranging the recent big wheat deal with India. And now, Mr. Eisenhower has publicly added glamour to Nixon's role by assigning to him much of the adminis tration's fight for a full for eign aid appropriation. The Vice-President, though not even listed on the pro gram, turned up the other night at a big foreign aid rally- dinner here which had been arranged by Erie Johnston and Dr. Vannevar Bush, the scientist. This, again, was President Eisenhower's doing. Mr. Nixon's dramatic Intro duction from the rostrum as an added starter among the guests of honor was not exact ly harmful to him. THE Republicans have no ultimate responsibility for what Congress does, because they are in a minority. They are, therefore, free to belabor the sweating Democrats on foreign aid, demanding that they do this and that. The Democrats, In the shorthand of politics, cannot escape blame for what will surely come, and would quite as surely have come had this been a Republican and not a Democratic Congress - a re duction in foreign aid. So everywhere the public looks in the months ahead It will see one spotlighted figure in world affairs, aside from Mr. Elsenhower himself. This will be Richard M. Nixon. It all proves that no presi dential aspirant can possibly have so strong an ally as a man who is already in the White House, sitting at the center of American political power.

The flam Ankara, The auoiet "On canaot lay with swuruy mi the gouBtry," The challenge to Turkey's security came from groups of restive students who felt that Menderea had given the count r y eco n o m I c prog ress but rob- I bed it of polit ical freedom. A week ago, the students stormed thru the streets of Istanbul and Ankara, clashing with troops and police and demanding Menderea resign, By this week, their overt acts had died down to minor demonstrations and cries, against Menderes of "mur derer." In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS There are two hot spots In the news. They are: 1. Foreign aid, Don't cut It now, Ike pleads. 2. Medical help for the aged and the aging. THE President says that major cuts in his $4,175, 000,000 foreign aid program would "deal a crushing defeat to the free world and lead to grave international tensions." He adds: "Slashing the program would mean virtual abandon ment of an effort that has yielded greater benefits In se curity, good neighbors and profitable trade than any other comparable outlay." He said the amount he has requested is the minimum re quired to meet the basic neces sities of sheer defense and "to keep alight a glimmer of hope in hundreds of millions of people arrayed with u on the side of freedom." ON medical help for the aged and the aging he speaks briefly in his message. He says the program pre sented by Secretary of Wel fare Flemming recognizes federal-state relations and PRI VATE relationships. From the political stand point (in election years EVERYTHING is viewed from the political standpoint) the administration plan is regard ed as a backfire to slow down the much more expensive Democratic plan for medical help for the aged. HMMMMM It must be admitted that deep slashes in the foreign aid program right now might shake the solidarity of the Western alliance at a moment when the free world must pre sent a united front to commu nism. It must also be admitted that medical aid for the aged is a program that must eventu ally be undertaken, just as the social security program was undertaken some two decades ago. The problem is HOW TO PAY FOR THEM in a nation whose federal debt alone al ready aggregates nearly $6,000 per household. HOW to do it? The answer, I think, is that we must DO WITHOUT SOMETHING ELSE. If you want a fine, Ynodern, new au tomobile to replace your out-of-date old one, you have to do without something -else in order to be able to pay for it. Utnerwise, you will be SWAMPED in debt. The only difference in the case of governments Is that they can PRINT MONEY with which to pay their bills and you can't. The penalties for printing money with which to pay government debts are rug ged, but it takes a long time for these penalties to show up disastrously, and the spenders feel it will be safe for them to play against time. (They may be gone when the note comes due.) OUR government is fabulous ly extravagant. It WASTES a fantastic amount of money. By a p p 1 ic a 1 1 o n to the PUBLIC'S business of the sound principles that govern private spending, IMMENSE savings could be made. The time will come, I think, when we will HAVE to apply these sound, time-tested prin ciples to public spending. Maybe the time is here now. Vancouver Chamber Assriant Nmirmd Vancouver.

Whether he would do anything about them was uncertain., it Menderes follows form, h will reject the demands and continue his own hard course, for he has run Turkey to his own design for 10 years and shows no sign of chang ing despite storms of criti cism, Born of Wealth A dapper and dynamic lit tle man of 61, Menderes con siders himself the spiritual heir of Kemal Ataturk, the strong man who hammered a modern Turkish state out of the ruins of the Ottoman em pire. Born in 189S in Aydin, he grew up as the indulged son Of a wealthy land-owner. He was educated at the Ameri can College In Smyrna (now Izmir) and holds a law degree from Ankara University. As a young man, he fought in what the Turks call the "War of Liberation," when Kemal Ataturk drove the last foreign troops out of Turkey after World War I. He won a local reputation as a progressive farmer on his family estate, and then en Dick West, Abashed, He's No Teen Ager After All By DICK WEST WashingtonUPII-If the 1960 Olympic games had a contest in jumping at the obvious, I expect I could bring home a gold medal.

A fifth man was arrested for possession and four homes were searched. The four were arrested on secret indict ments. Arrested were Elbert Polk Jr., 21: John Otis White, 21; Donald Clifton McLaurin, 26, and George Dolby, 53. Merle Johnson, 38, was charged with possession of narcotics after police found a packet of marijuana in foot locker in his home. Police Chief William J. Hilbruner said that at a later date the two officers would be identified, but now must remain unknown. The undercover men were accepted in underworld hang outs, jazz-joints and other spots, Hilbruner said. He said they made contacts which gave them passports to the people who dealt in narcotics. Crater Speech Festival Slated Central Point - The first speech festival for sixth, seventh and eighth graders in District 6C, which includes schools in Gold Hill, Sams Valley and Central jPoint, will be held at Crater High school tomorrow.

Judges will include resi dents of Gold Hill, Sams Val ley, (Central Point, Medford and Southern Oregon college, Problems tered politics where h quick ly won acclaim ai an able parliamentarian. In 1S45, he and a number of other deputies, led by Celal Bayar, now ?urh-sy's pmti dent, broke away front the ruling People's Republican Party to form th new Demo cratic party. Wins Elections Five years later, President Ismet Inonu permitted Tur key's first genuinely free elec tions and the Democratic Party swept into power where it has remained ever since, winning a renewed mandate in 1957. Bayar became president and Menderes premier, and Turkey entered enthusistlcal ly on a new era of hope of expansion. Under Menderes' bold lead ership, roads, dams, power stations, factories and schools were built. Transport, indus try and trade were developed. And, above all, agriculture was mechanized and expand ed, He gave the Turkish peas ants a stake in the country's development, and made polit ical capital by cultivating them assiduously. Menderes gambled that he could create an industrialized slonal investigation of disc jockey Dick Clark. What I Intehded to do was josh a bit about the current teen - age infatuation with Clark and his cast of pompa doured boy sopranos. So I de scribed the hearings as they might have been seen through the eyes of a "teen-age disk jockey reporter." Gets Fan Mail You can imagine my cha grin when I started getting letters from Clark fans, ex tolling me as a champion of the true, the good and the beautiful end adopting me as one of their own. In particular was I unset tled by a note fom two young Pittsburgh ladies, portions of which are reproduced below: 'We ve never heard of you before but what you said real ly makes sense and we'd like you to know that we're with you all the way. "We "first heard of you when we read an article writ ten by you in our dally paper about Dick Clark. As far as Dick's concerned, with the teen-agers we know he's tops. Dick Understands Them "If they think that by hav ing an over-publicized hear ing that is going to change our opinion of him, they're out of it. Like we mean way out. "Dick's one of the few old er men who has the under standing and confidence teen agers need. Like, dad, they're all hung ... "Keep those editorials going. They're great." Jeepers, girls, I hate to dis illusion anyone, but you've got me pegged all wrong. I ain't really a teen-ager. I just act that way sometimes when I've been addled by too much exposure to congressional hearings. To tell you the truth, girls, I'm even older than Dick Clark. I'm old enough to re member the days when disc jockeys played sensible songs, such as "Flat - Foot Floogle With a Floy Floy." They don't write songs like that any more.

But in his enthusiasm, he overstrained the country'! re sources, landing It heavily in ivbt md ituting tnumi In ternal inflation. Asks Far Aid By 1958, he had to go to the United States and the Or ganization of European Koo nomic Cooperation for help. He got some assistance, but with it he was forced to ac cept an economic stabilitatlon program, He devalued the lira, cut spending and raised prices. It was a program of austerity necessary for the country to survive, but It was one that brought further criticism. Prosperity grew, and so did opposition. Some members of his own party joined this criticism, while the opposition People's Party took full advantage of Menderes' troubles. Menderes retaliated with repression of the press and maneuvers his opponents con sidered anti-democratic. The opposition feels that Turkey's troubles were brought on by Menderes' policies and believe that the country Is still living on aid from abroad, Menderes counters with more controls. Admits say twice that you had never heard of me before? We "old er men" may be "all hung" and ."out of it," but we still have our pride.
