O & C Reforestation Last Sunday in this the vast deficiency in reforestation, specifically on national forest land. We said the situation on O&C lands was "comparable." That word was intended to convey the idea that O&C lands, administered by the bureau of land management, also were not being re forested at an optimum rate. What we neglected to point out (and we have been gently taken to tesk for it) is that efforts to reforest O&C lands needing it are far in ad vance of the reforestation efforts permitted the forest service even though they may still not be wholly adequate. THE 18 O&C counties A allnrAri a mtllinm rtrhllgra frnm friair firiara nf .t.VVV. .11. ,. ,. V.V...U ... V " forest receipt for reforestation, and it is being used. In the Medford BLM district alone, reforesta tion of 4,300 acres was undertaken during fis cal year 1959, and for the current fiscal year the total is 3,007. This action of the counties is far-sighted, for in no small measure their future stability lies with the forests, which, managed properly, are an eternally renewable resource. It is far more sensible than the tight-fisted policies of the bud get bureau and congress when it comes to allow ing the forest service to do necessary reforesta tion. A ND, while on the subject, we might comment " that the O&C counties have shown other evidences of a forward-looking program on O&C lands. Not only have they allocated funds for re forestation, but they have also allocated money for the construction of more access roads, and for a modest beginning on the development of recreation centers on O&C lands. These measures, to be sure, are in the coun ties' own "enlightened self interest," but they are in contrast to some levels of government where penny-pinching today will result in far higher costs tomorrow, or in effects which will coat more than money in the long run.

I wish I could thank each and every one individually. To many it seemed in credible that an unknown could pull such a large sup porting vote. I believe, how ever, that It was the prin ciples that made America great, which I expressed, that the people voted for, rather than myself. To all those who believe in the Constitution and Its prin ciples of a limited federal government which gives the individuals the maximum amount of freedom and to fully reap the fruit of such individual energies, I would like to say: If we, as a nation, are able to survive this continuing in flation, the ever increasing taxation at all levels, the growing enormous national debt, the increasing regimen tation of our lives by the federal government and the resulting threat of an econo mic disaster for the next two years, I again will come out fighting for that belief.

The "Tramway" Again To the Editor: Your corres pondent, Mr. Doug Thompson, a student at Southern Oregon college, writes in the Mall Tribune for May 2 that he thinks I have "stepped out of bounds" in attempting "to further commercialize Crater Lake National Park, which Is not even In his district . . ." He also states that the Mail Tribune poll showed that a majority of the readers are against the proposed aerial tramway to assist visitors from getting between the rim and the surface of the lake. I somehow missed seeing this poll. As a United States Repre sentative I am not required to confine my attentions fully to matters geographically locat ed within the bounds of the Fourth District of Oregon. Even if that were the rule, 1 can point out that the greater share of the visitors to Crater Lake come through Grants Pass and Medford, both of these within the Fourth Dist rict. Moreover, the headquar ters of the Crater Lake Na tional Park is located In Med ford, The idea of an aerial tram way was only presented by me for consideration and discus sion by persons Interested. I am having a model built so that the discussion can be bet ter based on actual facts with respect to whether or not such an installation would mar the unique scenic beauty of this wonderful area. As for polls, the two I've taken and the two I've heard of all show majorities in favor of such an Installation. How ever, it seems to me that such polls will be more meaning ful when everyone (Including myself) has a more concrete idea about how such an aerial tramway would actually look Installed on a scale model and descending diagonally through the trees from the rim to the lake's edge.

We only havt two dart Menace often the case. year to sell them, and the weather didn't help us much this year, so we are short of the money we need, but very thankful for what we have. We use this money on vet erans work, and have a group of wheelchair members of the White City domiciliary that we give a games party for each month. We give prizes of cigarettes and birthdays are remem bered with a card and canteen book. Refreshments at these par ties are furnished by the Blue Star Mothers themselves. We also do other things for White City, such as helping with refreshments at some of their parties. An occasinal bus ride, wa termelon bust, shrubs for the grounds and wool afghans, attend their funerals, and do what we can, as they are most ly so far from their own fam ilies. We donate to their emer gency fund. This month we are sending clothing to an orphanage in Korea that is maintained by U. S. servicemen there. And we also donate a little toward New Mexico Indians, who live in the desert and have no government pensions. Any mother with a son or daughter in the Service (Army, Navy, Airforce or Coast Guard) is invited to join, if she is interested in this kind of work, and as an honor to her children in the armed forces. We are called "The Blue Star Mothers" because of the blue stars on our service flags during the war. Thanks again to all who bought a daisy. Hope to see you again next year. Mrs. E. P.

The Ham in Mr. K To the Editor: The big pic ture that seems to disturb the editorial writers and corn mentors is, "Why did Mr. K wish to delay his confab at the top of diplomacy?" All of which carries us back to that time when comic strips were based on humor. To wit: Adolph asks Oscar: "Why does a crab walk sideways?' Oscar answers: "In the first place he don't, and the sec ond place why should he?" There seems to be a differ ence of opinion as to who shoved who behind the eight ball, because there has been a lot of pushing and shoving since Mr. K began his pilgri mage in search of the holy grail. He is not still the gentle Knight In shining armour tns he seemed to be when he started his crusade for "Peace and friendship." Although wo will not argue with his theory of economic and social evolution, we wish Nixon Faces Tough Role in Appearance In North Dakota; Faces Farm Vote Test By LYLE C. WILSON Washington - (I'Pli - Vice President Richard M. Nixon's toughest pre-convention chore is a Farm Belt speech booked for June 20. He will speak before the North Da kota State convention of the American Legion. Nixon Lilt c w ii toe agreed aooui a week ago to appear there, having previously refused to go into North Dakota in June. The vice president may have changed his mind because he is an organization politician who believes in answering distress calls when they come. Republican distress in to call attention to his Polly anna viewpoint in the value of logic and moral persuation. Neither have much effect on prejudice and material advan tage. He is a good actor and puts on an exceptionally fine show but he should realize that he is not the only ham in the smokehouse as long as there is democracy in the U.S.A. This country has some excellent talent; all that is lacking is a good play in which to star. A play such as "Peace and Friendship" is not suited to our style of act ing. We like something with more conflict, suspense and drama. Perhaps some shooting. Mr. F could hardly hope to triumph in "Peace and Friendship" with such an un cooperative supporting cast. Plotting against the star be gan with the first rehearsal. The h o r s e-play continued until he "blew up" in fury. He was as much outraged as an airplane company at find ing a time bomb in the bag gage compartment in the lat est model of skyliner. He fumed all over the place. On regaining composure he went to East Germany and put the play on ice and began looking for a new cast. In the words of G. B. Shaw: He learned some thing that always feels at first that something has been lost. To the correspondents it is bread and butter. To the audi ence an intermission. Walter Reece Galice rd.

A Theory of Life To the Editor: I groanea within myself when I read those letters on atheism. I suppose most of us have won dered at some time or otner about God's natural creation, and how it was set into mo tion. I believe water is the kay to it, out of water came forth the earth and sun, the three elements that make up the endless chain of reaction to bring forth life. Water (liquid) Sun (gas eous) Earth (solid), out of water comes the fire of the sun that in turn gives life to the earth. Each of these is a chain of living reaction within themselves, yet it takes the three to make up the perfect body to bring forth life. The air we breathe is water (modified) into life giving properties, and so on, this modification takes place until it reaches the sun and so on. Each chain of reaction chang ing into life giving properties that draw from each other as they in turn give off life. This will probably be laugh ed at by the spy-glass brain, but I believe it anyway. There have been some wonderful strides made in surgery and medicine and a few other things, but they have carried this machine age so far man leans on it like a crutch. In Gen. 1-2, "And the earth was without form and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 1 believe God s" spirit is a great living magnetic power that is made up of living cells, not the same as natural elec tricity, but in the similiture of it. Remember reading (how) He gave Moses the commandments. I believe that is a symbol of the living mag netic force of His creative Spirit. I think when God breathed, so to speak, on the waters it set into action through His magnetic power tha living chain of reaction. I believe our spirit too is North Dakota centers around a June 28 special election to name a successor to the late Republican Sen. William Langer. North Dakota is a Republican state with mav erick instincts. Farm Vote Test The June 28 special elec tion will lid a valid test of farm state voter sentiment just a month before the Re publican National Convention meets in Chicago. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben son and the price of farm products are the prime North Dakota issues. That is what makes it tough for Nixon. It is not likely that he can get in and out of North Dakota without taking a firm and public position on farm policy. An American Legion speech can be devoted wholly to national defense and related matters. But there will be news conferences, huddles with political leaders and other occasions when Nixon will be asked to speak out. Gov. John E. Davis is the Republican senatorial nomi nee; Rep. Quentin Burdick the Democrat. If Burdick licks Davis, the practical poli ticians in both parties will hold Benson responsible. Re publican Farm Belt candi dates for House and Senate would judge that result to mean that they must repudi ate Benson to survive. For Nixon and the Republi can Party, the election of a Democrat to fill Langer's seat would be damaging to morale. Nixon would be further hurt by a Democratic victory following his appear ance in the state. The vice president may meet this situa tion by repudiating Benson as, for example, by announc ing that Benson would not be in a Nixon cabinet. Against Eisenhower Policy That would be big political news because it would repre sent a major break with the Eisenhower administration. If Republican Davis is elected, Republican chances of big congressional gains in the November election will im prove. Election of Burdick would indicate that the Demo crats would hold their own or better in the Farm Belt. The vice president's de cision to go into North Dako ta during the senatorial cam paign came some weeks after Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York had accepted a campaign speaking engage ment there. That rather put it up to Nixon. A side-line campaign issue is Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield's Metro sys tem to improve mail delivery. The Metro system is for mail pick-ups over large areas by made up of living spirit cells that have a magnetic contact with our mineral or organic flesh cells as electricity does in mineral or water. Helen Prevo 222 West Jackson st. Medford Copco't Raise To the Editor: I for one sick to death of the petty com plaints about Copco which have been recently appearing in your column. It's time someone spoke up in favor of Copco, which sells the cheapest necessary com modity available today. Pow er far cheaper than the tele phones we all use every day, and yet nobody cares to think of it that way. This brings up a letter of May 20. She phoned the Cop co office, while thanking heaven that the phone wasn't run on Copco's electricity. Ap parently she had paid the phone company, or I am sure that they would have done exactly as Copco had one, and disconnected her phone. I know for a fact that Cop co waits at least two months before turning off anyone's power, although they would be within their legal right according to the Public Utili ties commission, to do sc within ten days of the first billing. The phone company. on the other hand, requires payment a month in advance of its use. Copco has, to my knowledge, when a financial problem was forthrightly stated to them, waited as long as three months to discon tinue service, and only then if no part of the bill had been paid. Even Copco employees must pay their bills within the re quired time limits or they, too, find themselves faced with the prospect of cooking over a campfire. Also I d like to see anyone try to buy gas oline on a credit card if they didn't pay their monthly bills, for any reason! I hope that Copco gets the raise in rates that they are asking for. It's about time! Facts and figures showing the ratio of Copco's increases to the increases In the cost of living are available to anyone who cares enough to come in and ask for them. They speak for themselves. Nothing else is quite so useful yet so in expensive as electricity. (Name withheld) truck for sorting and rerout ing from central stations.

Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERF Mc OST UNCANNILY ACCURATE putter at the Rocky Gray Golf club was a character so myopic he couldn't ' read the top letter on an oculist's chart without a spyglass. Asked the secret of his success on the green, he explained, "It's these bi focals I wear. When I get on the green, I see two balls, one big, one small, and two holes, one big, one small. After that it's simply a matter of dropping the small ball in the big hole." e A Parisian aristocrat who lived right next door to philosopher Voltaire and his wife overheard this notable exchange oeiween me two - - ( one evening.

Diatrlbutei by Kins Features Syndicate Washington Report By WILLIAM THE ROW Washington-There are two difficulties about that states manlike, nonpartisan and non- T divisive f or- bate now be ing so solemn ly promised. It is about as easy to con- OUCl so iaise- cussion in an election year as it would be to get Vice President Richard Nixon to join the Democratic National committee or Adlai Stevenson to praise the admin istration. And even if such a debate could be carried on in this splendid fashion, it would never really touch tne one true issue. Our famous "spy plane" is not and never was the issue. Nor is the air alert which Defense Secretary Thomas Gates quite rightly put on when Khrushchev was speaking with brutal menace amid the wreckage of the Paris Summit conference. The "spy plane" was simply Khrushchev's excuse for breaking up the conference. That we handled it poorly is wholly secondary; so is the fact that the air alert was ham-handed in its execution. THE heart of the matter is whether we should have gone to the Summit at all in the circumstances we did. The real question is this: Was Summitry wise? The answer is that obviously it was not. But this real question won t really be debated. For both parties had long been so deep ly committed to "going to the Summit"-never mind how or in what power relationship to the Soviet Union-that nei- their party can now fairly cry out, "I told you so." Indeed, one reason for the excessive waspishness now be ing shown toward the Eisen hower administration is vest ed interest in a policy now shown to have been a danger ous illusion. Some devil must be found by the new critics the "spy plane" or the air alert-simply because the only alternative would be to admit that the whole policy was wrong in the first place. e ONCE you open, in a time of world tension, a parti san row over foreign policy in the name of free speech, nobody can control a form of speech that becomes very free indeed, though the top politicians in both parties are trying hard to do so. Here is where we stand now: 1. The Democratic Advisory council's general denunciation of the Eisenhower administra tion, though far too extreme, 17 D Clip out this genuine "GOLDFARB" CERTIFICATE Worth 1 Goldfarb ... At Dean & Taylor Pontk: (Sm Ad In This Paper) D D D D Farmers, villagers, railway mail clerks do not like tha Metro idea. Political proa think it will cost Republicans some votes. 'V S. WHITE was within the rules. But tha council's specific attempt to criticize the president for even going to the Summit as ha did is hypocratical nonsense. For its most influential mem bers have been howling for' years for just such a meetingi Two of its members ara Democratic presidential candi dates. One, Sen. John F. Ken nedy, has publicly refused to go along with that bit of hypocrisy. A second, Sen. Stu art Symington, has said noth ing of the point. A third Dem ocratic candidate, Sen. Lyn don B. Johnson, simply ig-' nores the council, as he al-, ways has, and privately con-' gratulates himself for having boycotted it. 2. Most of the GOP defense of the president has been fair and mature. Already, how ever, that well-known word "appeasement" is being heard here and there to describe tha complaining Democrats. It is. oi course, a wnouy unfair ' word; and it will hardly con- -tribute to this great debate. 3. Adlai Stevenson's attack on the administration, just ; ahead of the Russian effort in the United Nations to brand . us as aggressors, was wholly irresponsible, in its timing; most of all. And more than any other Democrat he has given the Republicans the op portunity to pass from tha defensive to the offensive. 4. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's belated public indication that he was doubtful all along of the Summit business was re sponsibly put- and also en tirely true, as this correspond ent can testify on the basis of private conversations of last year. But Rockefeller did: have his chance, before tha Summit, to raise his warn ings. They come now with a touch of second-guessing-and also of revived presidential ambitions. 5. Vice President Nixon haa so far reasonably restrained his natural partisanship, as have all the leading Demo cratic presidential aspirants. But they will find it much harder to maintain this atti tude as this row gets nastier and nastier. (Copyright. 1980, By United Feature Syndicate, lae.)
