Thoughts on "Unity'
Comes now Mr. E. B. Antley of Ashland, and
says in just 103 words what we have been trying
to say, and not getting said, in far more.
Mr. Antley says:
To the Editor: The perfect formula for an Admin
stration to stay in power has been found, ft is simply
to blunder so badly in international relations' that a
crisis occurs. Then the party in power calls for nation
al unity in the face of the new crisis. The cry, long
and loud, is "don't rock the boat," even though the
boat is headed for the rocks.
Someone once said that a nation's condition, like
an individual's, is not too bad until it begins blaming
all of its problems on others.
How in the world are we going to correct our mis
lakes if we refuse to even recognize them?
E. B. Antley
1495 Oregon st.
Ashland, Ore.
fUlR. ANTLEY'S letter
and to the point.
We cannot refrain from adding a few words,
however, to the effect that the two-party system
in this country grew up as an imperfect, yet so-far-unbeatable,
way of providing for a great
dialogue, a continuing debate, on the conduct of
the nation s business.
So when national leaders appeal for "unity,"
when they are "shocked" when Adlai Stevenson
(for example) speaks some blunt truths, when
responsible leaders of congress overlook bumb
ling even outright lying on the part of the
administration, the nation suffers.
It's a Drettv stunid form of "natriotism" which
calls for us all to ignore the mistakes which con
stitute a real danger to the nation, and to "unify"
behind a leadership which has demonstrated its
incompentence to guide the nation through peril
ous times. E.A.
The Voters' Power
Quite a number of Oregon editorial writers
have referred to the ballots in last Friday's elec
tion as being "the size of bed sheets."
They weren't really; they just seemed so.
Several of these editorialists have suggested
that this is, in effect, a heck of a way to run a
railroad. Party functionaries, they suggest, should
be chosen through the party machinery, and the
ballots shouldn't be cluttered up with long, long
lists of names, many of them only vaguely fa
miliar to the electorate at large.
T'HERE are two ways of
Oregon has long been
ocratic of the United States.
It originated the initiative, the referendum
and the recall. And, these, particularly the first
two, are in no small measure responsible for the
length of the ballots, more particularly in gen
eral elections.
But it has tended to keep government "close
to the people"; to make the voters the final au
thority, not only on candidates, but also on leg
islative matters.
THIS can be frustrating.
It is particularly frustrating to conscientious
members of the legislature who knock themselves
out (meanwhile going into the hole financially)
to arrive at sound decisions on legislative matters,
only to have the rug pulled out from under them
by a referendum petition, or by having brand
new legislation sprung on them through an in
itiative petition.
While it is an exercise of "democratic" rights,
it is also a denial of the "republican" philosophy.
(Please note that the two quoted words are not
capitalized. We're not referrincr to party politics
at the moment, but to the sometimes-conflicting
republican ana democratic ideals of our gov
ernment.) AS POPULATION grows, so does government
as government grows, it becomes more
complicated. And as it
ed, the more difficult it
its complexities.
This, we believe, argues for greater authority
for the people's elected representatives, and a
corresponding decrease
i.r. - ' i; ; i ,
uie individual voter.
But, still, there is also a great deal to be said
for keeping government, complex or not, close to
the people, so that they
n, is to De run.
This is a debate of which more will be heard.
In November, for instance, there will be a
baker's dozen or more measures on the ballot, for
the voters to decide.
Few voters, however well informed, will be
aware of all the ramifications of each measure.
Some of them are fairly technical, and several
are peculiarly vulnerable to misunderstanding.
AS A result, responsible officials sometimes
are inclined to tear their hair out when the
people deny them the tools of government which
they are convinced are necessary to do the job
they are charged with doing.
For ourself, we would be inclined to relin
quish just a bit of our autonomy as an elector,
and leave some of the major decisions of state
government up to the legislature.
Others, however, will disagree. There is, at
some levels, an abiding distrust in the judgments
and actions of elected officials, from the govern
or on down a distrust not based on personalities
nor actions, but simply on the basis that they
ARE elected officials.
Distrust based on experience is healthy and
understandable. But distrust based only on un
thinking resentment of those in authority is not a
healthy condition in the body politic E.A.
is a gem brief, succinct
looking at this.

Sen. Byrd for President
To the Editor: We have
come to the crossroads, and
we all realize that the Demo
cratic party has put out five
men as eligible for the next
President of the United States.
Personally we do not feel
that any one of them really
represents the voice of the
hard thinking people of Amer
ica. When the last word is
said and done there is but
one man who right now can
fill the office to suit both the
Republicans and the Demo
crats, and he should be draft
ed. He is Sen. Harry Flood
Byrd of Virginia. When he
was 18 years old he was the
head that built the greatest
turnpike ever known, which
is called the Valley Pike, aft
erwards known as No. 11. He
was just a little over 21 when
he became a Representative;
then under 30 as Governor
of Virginia, and the best Gov
ernor Virginia has ever had.
When he went in as Governor,
the state was In debt. He paid
off all the debts and left mon
ey in the treasury when he
came out.
We know that our Presi
dent of today, Mr. Eisen
hower, is a great man in giv
ing money to foreign coun
tries to retain their friendship.
It has not worked.
Mr. Byrd has the sensible
idea. He has called to our at
tention that we have millions
of bushels of wheat, corn and
other grains that the govern
ment has stored each year.
Mr. Byrd's idea is not to give
money to these countries that
need it so badly but to let
them have this grain that is
going to waste, and set them
selves up against starvation
in the future.
Mr. Byrd has thousands of
Ideas that we need. If this
country would draft him it
would make people happy
and of better nature.
I hate to say it, but all the
foreign countries seem to
have lost confidence in Mr.
Eisenhower, and 'he repre
sents the Republican party.
They have the same thing to
say about Mr. Nixon, and the
same thing to say about the
other five men who are fore
most in the Democratic party
now wanting to be President
Read carefully what I say
and then see if we cannot
draft Mr. Byrd for tha next
President of the United States
on the Democratic ticket.

Evils of Smoking
To the Editor: To the doc
tors-how much lungs can
have left? I smoked steady
for 62 years, started when I
was 14 - smoke a pipe and
sucked the smoke down In my
lungs. Same with cigars and
cigarettes.
Used newspaper for wrap
ping store tobacco, and dyed
brown wrapping paper, and
paper that peaches come
wrapped in. Even smoked
mullen leaves, alfalfa leaves,
dried grape stems.
The last 20 years before I
quit I would smoke 20 cigar
ettes and sometimes as much
as 30-40 cigarettes In 24 hours.
I woke up in the night and
smoked. All this smoke was
sucked down In my lungs, or
most of it.
When I was about 45 I
started to develop a cough
and it got worse but I would
not stop smoking. Got so 1
would break a piece of cigar
ette off and put tt under my
upper lip. It did help some
from coughing, but only for
maybe 10 or 13 minutes.
I would go to a show and
start to cough and I would go
outside and get some fresh air

ette and suck the smoke down
in my lungs-cough and gag.
The last year I started to
spit up blood and get short
of breath but would still
smoke. In the winter of 1957
I had a bad cold and spit up
a large amount of blood and
would wake up in the night
and smoke and cough and
gag and spit up blood.
I made a special trip to the
store for a carton of cigarettes
and the folks ordered things
too. I got all of them but for
got the cigarettes and after
driving back home I was mad
at myself for forgetting the
cigarettes. So I thought to my
self that If I could forget to
get the cigarettes I could for
get about smoking.
I remembered that in the
Bible it says that Jesus says
to test him. I did not pray, I
asked him to take the desire
to smoke away from me and
He did. I have never had the
desire to smoke and outside
of being a little short of
breath I do not spit up blood
now.

Program Praised
To the Editor: Fred Stock
the 20-30 club, employment
offices and all others involved
in the new summer employ
ment program for teen agers
deserve a big hand of applause
for their new project. I've
always felt that some far
sighted group could contribute
much to their community and
today's youth, by just such
an undertaking.
As the mother of four sons,
now long past this age group,
I know the intense need of
summer employment for these
young people. I've known
their restlessness-thelr long
ing for jobs, their disap
pointments . . . "we're not
old enough." Tiiey want so
desperately to be treated as
adults, and an employment
service of this kind can help
make them feel a little more
adult . . . and understood.
How quickly we older
adults forget the problems of
our own teen years. One min
ute we tell them "you're
grown up now ... act like
it", the next it's "you're not
old enough". I sincerely be
lieve young adults will re
spond like young adults if
treated as such. Most teen
agers will sincerely strive to
do their very best to please
an employer. Remember how
much more fun it was to fill
the neighbor's wood box than
your own? A smile, a word
of praise would prompt us
to lay each stick just so . . .
and pile it to a height far
beyond good sense . . . while
at home we scarcely got in
enough to keep the home fires
burning.
Let's hope all the Jackson
county employers will lean
over backwards, if necessary,
to help these young people
find at least part time em
ployment. Mn. Alfred Oallacci,

Dog Control "Swindle"
To the Editor: In the past
few years I have tried not
to become involved in any
political issue. But my anger
has been aroused to such a
point that I want to cry out,
"I was swindled." I am speak
ing of this dog control issue
on the ballot.
I voted NO. I am against
control of dogs In the county.
But, somebody whose mind
la "more clever Uian fionest"
worded the bill, so that a
vote against the issue was a
vote for the law. 1 thought
that It was doclarrd illegal
several years ago to so de
ceive the people. I feci that
the majority of the people
went likewise deceived.
In the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
As a itraw in the wind,
what of the Oregon primary
election?
It seems to foreshadow Ken
nedy and Nixon as the con
tenders in the big race.
WHAT of Mr. Nixon?
" In the Oregon primary, he
got more votes than Mr. Ken
nedy. But the Democratic
vote was split among five
contenders. The only clear
lesson is that in Oregon, as of
now, there are more Demo
crats than Republicans.
For Mr. Nixon it can be
said that the absence of write
ins it a point in his favor. If
there had been a large write
in vote, It would have been a
black mark against him.
WHAT of Senator Morse?
Let's be as kindly as we
can. In his political career, he
has been a Republican, He has
been i.n Independent. He has
been a Democrat. He has just
come a cropper in his home
state.
THE LESSON?
Maybe it is this:
Perhaps the person who
knows what he believes, who
really BELIEVES it and who
STICKS WITH HIS CON
VICTIONS through thick and
thin, comes out ahead in the
long run in public confidence.
IVf AYBE there's a lesson
there for the GOP. In re
cent years, it has tended to
ward fuzziness' in its econ
omic convictions. It has flirt
ed with the idea that maybe,
in order to WIN, it should
promise to outspend the Dem
ocrats. If the Republican party
heeds the lesson of Senator
Morse, it will stick with its
guns, stand up firmly for
sound economic principles,
such as balanced budgets, and
let the chips fall where they
may. Constructive conserva
tism is nothing to be ashamed
of.
IN CONCLUSION
In five Oregon cities-Port
land, Baker, Astoria, Med
ford and Warrenton - FREE
DOM FOR DOGS was an is
sue in Friday's election. In all
five, the dogs lost. In all five,
dogs must hereafter be kept
on leash, or under VERBAL
control, or must remain on
the premises of their owners.
No more following the
promptings of their own
sweet wills.
Which is to say:
In these four Oregon cities,
the concensus was that dogs,
along with people, must here
after be TOLD BY GOVERN
MENT what they can do and
what they can't do. It looks
like freedom of the individual
is on the way out.
Personally, I refuse to be
lieve it. I'm going to go on
hoping.
First, I want to know who
is responsible for this deceit
ful outrage. Secondly, what
can we do about this condi
tion before our honorable
county dog catcher becomes
our Lord and Master?
Another thing, were the
people of the cities, namely
Medford and Ashland, allow
ed to vote on this issue that
concerns them not? If so, why
not allow us to vote on their
issues which concern us not?
We, of course, could pay
the dog control officer his set
fee to exterminate our dogs,
but I think that out here on
forty acres of land, we should
have the right to keep dogs
without leash and without a
muzzle.
I would not protest this Is
sue if the bill had been pre
sented in a legal and straight
forward manner. Some one
deliberately worded the bal
lot to confuse the people.
WHY?
R. L. Brantley,
Route 3, Box 59B,
Medford
Editor's note: The confusing
wording of the ballot meas
ures on dog control was point
ed out repeatedly in the Mail
Tribune in the days prior to
the election, but it is manifest
ly evident that many voters
still were unable to vote their
convictions. The wording of
the ballot measures, in both
city and county, is specified
in state law -a law, we are
Informed, that dates back
some 40 years. We called for
amendment to the law in a
recent editorial. Meanwhile,
whether or not enforcement
could be restrained by an In
junctive procedure in the
courts is doubtful. No one lo
cally is to blame for attempt
ing to confuse the issue.. They
simply followed the procedure
spelled out in the old law.

Paris - General De Gaulle's
emergence as the leader of
the West, at any rate for the
time being,
was the least
noticed but
far from the
least impor
tant result of
the explosion
at the summit.
A much
greater debt
Is owed to the
jSu ffsop French presi
dent than most people under
stand. His untroubled percep
tion, his icy imperturbability
In a moment of potential dan
ger, almost certainly prevent
ed an even uglier result in
Paris than the ugly result that
was finally produced.
De Gaulle, as the world now
knows, was the first to learn
from Khrushchev himself that
the Soviet boss did not intend
to negotiate at all unless Presi
dent Eisenhower opened the
conference with a humiliating
public capitulation in the mat
ter of the U-2. From that mo
ment, after Khrushchev had
called on him on the Sunday
morning before the confer
ence was to begin, De Gaulle
was like a rock.
The same cannot be said of
Prime Minister Maemillan and
President Eisenhower. The
British leader definitely fa
v o r e d gestures, concessions
and apologies, in order to per
suade Khrushchev to get down
to business. Moreover, the
President's viewpoint was not
immensely different from the
Prime Minister's, although
the majority of the President's
staff took Gen. De Gaulle's op
posing view.
DE GAULLE'S view was,
quite simply, that Khru
shchev would be satisfied with
nothing less than total capitu
lation, which would be fatal.
Therefore he argued that half
measures of appeasement
would only add the embar
rassment of eating humble pie
(to the misfortune of the con
ference's collapse). De Gaulle's
sound judgment was proven
by the response that Maemil
lan got from Khrushchev,
when the Prime Minister tried
to glue the conference togeth
er again after the explosion at
the first session,
Even before that, however,
experiments with eating hum
ble pie might well have been
made, if it had not been for
De Gaulle's influence in the
other direction. In sum, De
Gaulle's weight tipped the
balance in favor of realism
and dignity.
The effect of all this on
President Eisenhower's situa
tion is decidedly curious. By
virtue of the power of the
United States, he ought to be
the unchallenged leader of the
Western Alliance. Until now,
he has been just that. Now,
however, solely by virtue of
the strange power of his per
sonality, De Gaulle has taken
the lead.
THE EFFECT of this subtle
but undeniable change in
the Western pecking order
will depend on whether Nikita
S. Khrushchev is merely plan
ning on a lull at Berlin or
wants a lull everyhere until
a new president takes over.
President Eisenhower him
self has evidently decided on
a policy of just keeping things
ticking over for the rest of his
term. Before he left Paris, he
was strongly urged to break
off the disarmament and nu
clear test negotiations by Sec
retary of Defense Thomas S.
Gates and Chairman John J.
McCone of the Atomic Energy
Commission. He rejected this
advice, which clearly implies
the intention to keep things
ticking over.
If Khrushchev Is prepared
to allow a worldwide lull, the
policy of just keeping things
ticking over will work very
well indeed. But it will not

pro-American government of
Japanese Premier Nobusuke
Klshi jammed through the
Japanese Parliament ratifica
tion of the U.S. -Japan mutual
security treaty.
The treaty, assuring the
presence of U.S. military
forces in Japan for the next
10 years, is bitterly opposed
by Japanese Socialists and
other left wing groups and has
been the special target of Red
Chinese and Soviet propa
ganda. Premier Determined

limited to Berlin.
Suppose, for instance, that
the unprecedented indignation
meeting staged in Peking on
Friday presages new troubles
in the Far East, in Laos, or
worse still, on Formosa's off
shore islands. No moves any
where would better serve
Khrushchev's obvious purpose
of doing everything possible
to divide the Western Allies
before the next round of ne
gotiations about Berlin. A re
newed attack on the offshore
islands would automatically
produce the most violent emo
tions in London. Another
small scale but potentially de
cisive invasion of Laos would
be almost as bad.
PRESIDENT E i s e nhower,
alas, can no longer deal
with such challenges as he
dealt with them before. Be
cause he has lost prestige and
confidence in the alliance, he
will risk all sorts of ruptures
with the other allies if he
simply goes his own way, as
he successfully did in the
Quemoy crisis. In short, he
now needs to be assured in ad
vance of the support which he
was previously able to take
for granted.
Therefore, what now seems
to be in order is Informal con
sultation with De Gaulle
about the various trouble
spots where Khrushchev may
attempt to probe. If consult
ed, De Gaulle is the ally who
can be most surely counted
on to approve a firm policy.
And Eisenhowe r-plus-De
Gaulle will make a combina
tion which the other allies will
still feel called upon to fol
low, as they used to feel called
up on to follow Eisenhower
alone.
