Convictions of Freedoip
As he ponders the many claims on his leader
ship in the months ahead, the new President can
not fail to conclude that the area of personal
freedom will demand from him a special effort.
Let us hope that his decisions will be made
with a confidence, depth of insight and breadth
of judgment which will enable him to communi
cate to Americans everywhere these basic con
victions: That life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness must again become
all Americans, and that
portunities for equal talents are essencial if our
democracy is to thrive;
That freedom and dignity are inseparable,
and are essential to all men, whether in Peking,
Budapest, Johannesburg or in the segregated
slums of Chicago and Detroit;
That men aspiring to freedom and dignity
will always achieve it in the end whether in
South America, or at North Carolina lunch count
ers;
That intcllecutal ferment, a product of the
right to doubt and disagree, is the very heart of
democracy; it is what our way of life is all about;
That educated men, secure in their own
rights, are less likely to impose their will on others
or to deny to others the rights that they them
selves revere, whether in the United States or the
Soviet Union;
That any man who wants personal liberties
for himself and his children must help all other
men to enjoy them, whether the men are Algerians
in North Africa or Puerto Ricans in New York
City;
That prosperity in America comes from the
healthy, purposeful, and free society of our fore
fathers, and that if we
prosperity on to our children, we must work as
diligently as our forefathers did to promote the
expansion of knowledge which keeps that society
alive.
(Quoted from "Agenda 1061," speeches given rec
ently at Grinnell College, Iowa, by Chester Bowles,
former governor, former Ambassador to India, now
Congressman from Connecticut.)

How About It?
To the Editor: On the issue
of dog control, I haven't seen
anything about how this
would affect dog licensing.
How can we be forced to
buy license for our dog to
cover livestock killed, when
there are no dogs running
loose to kill anything?
Georgia McKillop
Prospect, Ore,
Waiting to Hear
To the Editor: In regard
to the dog law: I am very
sure many voted in the op
posite. It seems to me it was
not worded, because they evi
dently ran out of words just
before they got to it. Dogs
yes - Dogs no. Very plain
yes - Dogs no. Very plain for
everyone.
Who was responsible for
this? I know there were some
letters before but, when I got
up there I simply couldn't be
lieve or remember-just plain
confused.
From the standpoint of
owners, who love their pets
many of them small fry-many
heartaches over the loss of
companionship. From the tax
payers standpoint - six more
men on the force besides cars
for their use and the vehicle
to collect the dogs in. Seems
like a quite an expense for
people who are groaning un
der high taxes now.
The complainers didn't
want the dogs to have free
dom - not to be muzzled but
still loose. To nie, to muzzle
all dogs is like demanding all
people to wear hand cuffs
when they leave their yard,
because some might steal.
We pay dog taxes and buy
our license. It's the same as
if we bought our car license
and were forbidden the use
of the road.
I have been disgusted over
my garbage can being tipped
over - but I am also disgusted
at seeing dogs hungry.
To muzzle takes away their
privilege of eating, drinking
licking their wounds and
with the warm weather coin
ing on would seem to me to
indicate an untold amount of
misery. We have a Humane
Society to prevent cruelly and
tation and camouflage) to use
tation and camoflouge) to use
cruel and inhuman treatment.
This was not an honest
opinion as to the people's
wishes throughout the county
and I would surely like to see
it put to a vote at the general
election or a special - or by
petition.
We would rather have our
good dog put to sleep than
see him punished in this way.
Hoping some way can be
made to live, and let live, we
remain waiting to hear some
thing new on this.

Measure Questioned
To the Editor: I am deeply
concerned about the degree of
merit of which certain meas
ures brought before the pub
lic vote contain. It seems to
nie t hat we ate spinning our
wheels as far as progress is
concerned. I refer mainly to
the recent measure that was
voted upon regarding dogs. I
agree that there are many
dogs running loose particular
ly around our school play
grounds that should be pick
ed up and impounded; and the
owners dealt with on a first,
second, and third offense
basis.
But it seems to nie that we
already pay a fee for a dog
license, and that the receipts
from that fee are supposed to
maintain a pound and the
services of a persoms) to police
the city for strays that arc
causing trouble. What we h.vc
done in this last election is
to Ignorantly vote into exis
tence a more complex version
ot the original law. If this
Menace
original law and its duties had
been strictly enforced, there
would have been no need for
this last measure.
I also wonder what has hap
pened to the receipts of the
past few years derived from
dog licenses? One can almost
assume that this money has
been thrown into the general
fund along with the rest of the
booty the city collects.
It is apparent that the effort
of the people, who have pro
posed and petitioned this last
dog measure, could have been
put to better use had they di
rected their time and effort to
Hie enforcing of the present
dog licensing law. To say the
least, the measure was illy
worded and misconstrued by
the public, and undoubtedly
will have to go before the vot
ing public again.

Memorial Day
To the Editor: The coming
of this morning's sun marked
Memorial Day, born of the
Civil War and dedicated so
by that immortal four minute
address by then President
Lincoln, that marked the set
ting aside of a portion of the
Gettysburg battle-field as a
final resting place for those
who gave their lives that this
nation, of the people, by the
people and for the people,
shall not perish from the
earth.
And all too soon, the kindly
Lincoln gave his life, as he
vowed he was willing to do,
that all men shall be free and
sovereign, no matter how
humble theirstation in life.
But Lincoln had dedicated
his life to a still higher ob
jective than that just men
tioned: the preservation of
the Union, regardless of the
stopping of slavery or its
spread to territorial conti
guous lands. All this, we the
living, should keep in mind
as we do homage to the brave
men and women who paid
their last full measure of de
votion to their country and
those maimed and broken by
savagery of war who now
make their lot in life at home
or the governmental ward
and hospital.
All this, not only on Mem
orial Day, but all through the
year, with the Stars and
Stripes displayed in front of
the home, half-masted when
need be, or flying high and
free in the winds of a free
man's land. A land made so
by sacrifice of those how long
gone. And It is our privilege
and duty to take the torch and
ever march onward in peace
ful pursuits, strong and de
fiant of any enemy bluster,
bluff and threat.

It's The Truth
To the Editor: Unhappily,
the farmer who telephoned
radio station KDOV announc
ccr. Johnnie Linn, that he
did not paint his barn because
"the tax assessor would come
around and Increase his prop
erty tax" spoke a mighty
word of truth.
Several years ago a new
county home extension agent
spoke to a group of niral
women from all over the
county saying she was going
to start a campaign to "paint-
up" the rural buildings and
fences. Her good idea died
aborning when more than
half the women spoke up and
explained that to paint fen
ces and buildings would im
mediately raise the already
high taxes.
Rural people like pretty
surroundings as do the city
i people and the tourists from
distant points, but until the
tax situation changes, they
are going to content them-

She Still Has Questions
To the Editor: I wish to con
gratulate you on your front
page editoral in Wednesday's
Mail Tribune. It undoubtedly
convinced many voters they
should vole "yes" in Thurs
day's school budget election.
The school board is very
fortunate to have such a cham
pion. Otherwise, they too,
might have had to limit each
article published to 400 words.
It is deplorable that school
districts can't publish com
plete budgets such as the
county budget published in
Wednesday's paper. This
shouldn't cost any more than
the 19 page pamphlet put out
by the school board and it
would save members of the
board all the time they now
spend in explanation tours of
the district. It might even
eliminate the need for pres
sure through our school chil
dren and through telephone
and mailing committees that
some districts resort to.
Since my letter was my first
letter to the editor I was
amused by your heading, "She
still has questions." No of
fence was taken nor is any
intended, but you certainly
are a master in the art of
evasion through ridicule.
Now that the answer cannot
sway the voters I am repeat
ing on question. "How much
money, if any, will be left
from the current budget at
the end of this school year?"
Or is there another reason
why this cannot be answered
publicly?
I would also like to know
whether the statement in your
editorial "The superinten
dent's salary has been cut by
$1200," is true or, to be kind,
meant to be misleading? You
surely know many of your
readers accept your state
ments as the absolute truth.
Will the school board go along
with your statement and cut
Dr. Mayfield's salary, which
is $15,500 to $14,300? The
voters this sentence influen
ced expect it.

Editor's note:
1. All school districts in
Oregon publish their budgets
in full. The proposed budget
for school district 549C for
the 1960-61 school year was
published not once, but twice,
in the Mail Tribune, on March
IS and March 28.
2. State law permits the
amount of money carried over
from one school year to the
next to approximate 2Vi per
cent of the budget, accumula
tive up to 10 per cent. This is
to allow the district to pay
interim expenses before re
ceipts come in. This year the
amount shown in the budget
for this purpose is an estima
ted $97,000. If it happens to
be more, the excess will go for
tax reduction next year. The
law allows this procedure so
districts can avoid borrowing
and paying interest charges.
3. The superintendent's sal
ary in the original budget was
set at $18,000. In the revised
budget it was cut to $16,800,
or below the amount which
has been offered him else
where. (While on the Subject,
it might be pointed out his
efforts alone have resulted in
additional income to the dis
trict of some $15,000 to $17,
000 per year, because of a
VP
anti-treaty demonstrations in
the past week, but there is no
sign of antl-Arr.cricaniom on a
personal level. There has been
no report of any American
being bothered in any way.
Sino Red-Soviet Conflict?
Some Asian observers see
Red Chinese Premier Chou
En-Lai's visit to Mongolia as
a sign of minor conflict of
interests between Russia and
Red China. Onetime Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molo
tov has been posted in Mon
golia for some time and the
Communist satellite has been
under strong Russian influ
ence. Tokyo observers say
there are signs that China
wants to change this.
Fair Trial
British officials expect
Adolf Eichmann, alleged mass
murderer of six million Jews,
to get a fair trial. The former
Gestapo official is likely to be
brought before an Israeli
court in about two months.
All pronouncements by Israeli
authorities since Eichmann's
arrest was announced indicate
determination to make this
sensational trial a scrupulous
ly fair one.
Contact
In the absence of evidence
to the contrary, Western dip
lomats expect the Soviets to
turn up at the conference
table around June 7 to resume
the 10 - nation disarmament
talks despite the Summit de
bacle and N i k i t a Khrush
chev's threat to break up that
conference, too. Any hopes of
concrete results are as doubt
ful as ever. Westerners expect
the Soviets to use the meeting
for a new tirade against the
United States and to exploit
the U-2 spy plane Incident as
an argument against the West-
demanded controls. The West
intends to suggest matter-of-
fact discussions on specific dis
armament issues which the
Russians have thus far op
posed. The main point is the
belief the Russians don't want
now to break off all contacts
with the West.

4. If you think all readers
accept our statements as "the
absolute truth," you should
see some of the letters we get!
Flowers? Yesl
To the Editor: Flowers,
flowers on graves-millions of
them, placed there by loving
hands in tender memory of
brave boys and girls dragged
away from home once more
to democratize the world.
Flowery words, millions of
them flung at us in an effort
to explain why the world is
as far away from democracy
as ever.
With the world dedicated
to the philosophy of greed and
with a politico-capitalist class
in the saddle, it seems entire
ly out of the realm of possi
bility ever again to realize
even a semblance of an ex
cuse for peace. Unless some
day, before too late, we find
that we have hitched our wag
on to the wrong star and
turn about face, following the
advice stamped on our coins,
"In God We Trust," and make
the rest of the world pay
cash, we will, even as we are
now, be paying all the debts
of the world with no thanks
for "Uncle Shylock."
When we think of the loved
ones who will never return-
when we think of those who
have returned in body but
minus lim I . crippled for life,
and those with minds and
souis seared beyond any
chance of redemption, then
let our minds and hearts
touch those of the mothers
and fathers, sisters, brothers
and wives of loved ones gone
to a country "from whose
bourne no traveler e're re
turns," or living with and for
war casualties cripple and insane-it
should not be too dif
ficult to make a deep, endur
ing vow to dedicate our lives
to creating conditions under
which such carnage can
never again take place.
Let us be strong and firm
in our actions and attitudes
looking toward the attainment
of the true, unshackled, free
dom for which our fore
fathers fought, bled and died,
and for the preservation of
which, within a comparative
ly few fleeting years, mil
lions more have sacrificed
life, health and loved ones
in carnage impossible of con
ception to any but those who
have been through the ampli
fied hell of those last two
world wars.
Flowers? Oh, yes! Yes! And
prayers, too, amid toll and
sweat, that we may be free
of wars and the selfish greed
that is the mother of wars.

Washington Report
By WILLIAM
IKE'S SPEECH o
Washington - In a neighbor
hood bar in suburban Mary
land 20 men were present and
tw men listened - at first.
Laiei on, lb
of the 20 were
listening.
This corres
pondent had
picked this
place to near
P resident
E i s e nhower
report to the
country on the
broken sum
mit conference and what he
nroDosed now to do. Here
was a place where one might
gain some small impression of
what one very, very small sec
tion of "the public" thought
of the President.
It is not. of course, clear
and never can be clear in ad
vance as to how our relation
ship with the Soviet Union
and with the world will now
develop. One thing that is all
too clear, however, is that the
President has been deeply
saddened by the failure of a
conference toward which, in
the twilight of his public life,
he had looked so hopefully to
crown his administration witn
gift of peace to the people
of this nation and of every
where. MANY will argue about
what the President said
- about the degree of candor
and the degree of leadership
he showed. But the view of
one man - and of one man
who has not been enthusiastic
about Mr. Eisenhower - is
that this was the best speech
he ever made. Here was a
tired and elderly man saying,
as it seemed to me, all that
could be properly said of the
past, and offering all that
could be honestly promised
for the future.
The people scattered about
the beer bar were first re
sentful that the juke box had
been turned off in order to
permit the President to ap
pear on the TV screen in the
back of the room. They were
at no point wildly elated that
this change had been made.
But as the speech went on
they began to turn, one by
one, to the image that now
filled the room. At the very
end, when the National An
them was played, they shuf
fled their feet a bit. And then,
here and there, a man got up
and stood raggedly and in an
embarrassed way at attention.
No doubt it did not prove
very much. It did not establish
that the President's policies
had been the right policies.
It certainly did not suggest to
a watcher that this was a knot
of Eisenhower worshippers.
It did seem to this watcher,
however, that this man on the
screen - however wrong he
may have been in some as
pects of his world leadership
- had carried this small and
unimportant room along with
what he was trying to say.
IN SOME strange way it
seemed that what he was
saying had put this country
back on the track and that
from here on it might be very
difficult for those who now
wish to destroy him over this
issue of the summit. It was not
that the people in this shabby
little tavern either fully un
derstood or fully approved the
words of the President.
Rather, it was a case in
which, uncaring and uninter
ested as they first had been,
they began to recognize that
we are, after all, not either
Republicans or Democrats
when crisis is upon us. We
are then only Americans, per
haps fearful, certainly hesi
tant, and perhaps confused,
but still Americans whose
real party is the United States.

dential election, may or may
not be the Republicans.
But there is one absolutely
certain winner in the minds
of ordinary people. This win
ner is a man named Eisen
hower and this winner is tha
United States of America.
For, whatever else may ba
in doubt, one thing surely can
not be in doubt. We hava
made mistakes as a nation and.
we went too soon and too un
prepared to the summit. But
in the last end we are, in tha
human sense at least, in a
much stronger position than
we were before the President
spoke.
Diagnostic
Images Viewed
On TV Screen
New York - (Science Serv-ice)-A
patient can now watch
his own X-ray fluoroscopy ex
amination !f he wishes. A new
technique also makes it pos
sible for teams of consulting
doctors and medical students
to view diagnostic images on
a television-like screen.
Dr. Russell H. Morgan, pro
fessor of radiology at tha
Johns Hopkins university.
Baltimore, Md., predicted that
the new equipment will ba
used increasingly in all hos
pitals, large and small, in tha
future.
Speaking at the second of a
series of X-ray forums for
science writers sponsored by
the American College of Radi
ology, Dr. Morgan said less
radiation was needed for cine
fluorography (X-ray motion
pictures) with the new system.
The Johns Hopkins method,
which converts X-rays to light
rays and displays them on a
fluoroscopic screen, is one of
four systems investigated for
X-ray image intensification.
Dr. Morgan said it is the one
of greatest interest in the U.S.
today.
Other methods include tele
vision systems optically cou
pled to conventional fluoro
scopic screens, "flying spot"
television and television sys
tems with X-ray sensitive de
tection tubes.
One advantage of the TV
method is that examinations
do not have to be made in a
totally blacked-out room. This
is easier on the eyes and saves
the time required for adapt
ing the eyes to darkness.
