Time of With the sudden end of tte pray rain last week, just in time for the Memorial day week end, we suddenly find ourselves in a time of hazards. The tragic death Sunday of 10-year-old Roger Timmermaji is only a sample of what can (and1 too frequently does) happen when the sun comes out, the weather beckons us outdoors, and when j holidays and vacations give us the time to lollow out inclinations. The rivers and lakes, the highways, the woods, the seacoast all of them offer superb recreation al opportunities. But each has its dangers, some so obvious they are ignored; some of them more subtle. A NNUALLY, safety-conscious public officials issue warnings; newspapers print them, and people go out and get themselves killed. Not long ago a woman died because she got too close to the edge of a clili looking over the Pacific ocean. Others have drowned because they challenged the ocean in purpose. Each year one ll. J . 1 1 in me ioresieci nnis , rescued, others not so lucky. If vou treat Mother mon sense, and a healthy respect for her whims and dangers, you 11 be OK. But, to stay alive out doors, one must remember that there are, indeed, dangers, as annual summer casualty lists attest. E.A. Speed The development) of skim along with their hulls out of water and nly lileigiJiuiie-iirtU iuiis uemw i.ne ui iucc, wcio men tioned in this space some months ago. More recent mentions of this type of vessel have kept it in the news. In San Francisco a week or so ago, Sig Unan der, former Oregon treasurer and now a mem ber of the U. S. maritime commission, discussed this new type of ships in optimistic terms. From Seattle we leal'fl that a consulting naval architect, was in the Puget Sound area last week, presumably to discuss the manufacture of hydro foils in that area. o THE hydrofoil operates on a principle similar to the airplane, only in the water instead of shin, the "wines" are ficient speed is reached, lifted from the water, decreasing drag, increas ing smoothness, and permitting speeds impossible in conventional craft up The run from Seattle ported, could be accomplished during the day light hours. Costs would be below airplane travel, and tourists would have the combined advantages of speed and the spectacular views of the inland passage. bueh a development would be ot great im portance, both to the new and undeveloped state of Alaska, and to Seattle in a fairly serious Slump waterfront and shipping DEAR Adm. R. K. J;tmes, chief of the Navy's bureau of ships, recently testified bqfore a' Congressional committee great promise for application to ocean-going ,ships, both military afld commercial." The hydrofoil has reached it.cgreatest stage of development in Italy, an many of the basic patents are held by Italian J inns. The first suc cessful operating hydftifoils are in use in the Straits of Messina. There is speculation in Seattle that one of the is to be brought to the Puget Sound area, as a prototypefor the hoped-for manufactory, perhaps at Bellingham. THE hydrofoil is a major innovati struction of seagoing vessels. Rt only one. o o The new jet boats, an Australian develop ment, are another, with particular applOation to inland and sports Tfavigation. It Ots one of these boats that President Eisenhower planned to Russia, now called off. o And, as nuclear power is applied maritime purposes0we can expect oflier innovations. The Savannah, the first niU'Wr-nowj-roil merchant ve$gel, was launched thirothpr day. And of course (thanks to Admiral Rickover), nuclear propulsion is becoming standard for American submarines. 7AST strides hrjve been made in transportation in the past half-century, but they-iave almv all been in the automotive and aeronautic fielG. Railroads and seagoing vessels have changed somewhat, but basically they are the lineal and closely-related descendents of the trains and sl'is familiar at the turn of the century. It now begins to look as though the shipping industry may be Hearing a break-through iuto new forms, new styles, new methods. This leaves the railroads, where archaic meth ods, equipment, rate structures and employment practices are the rule, in part, at least, the'result of restrictive and unimaginative federal regula tion.

Communications Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication, is permissible. The Mail Tribune rcserveshe right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views oi the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Another Side 1 To the Editor: My brother, I John Day, is in the hospital in Seattle scheduled for opera tions on both ankles today Since he is not able to answer the letter by Mrs. D J. Bailey printed in your Tuesday pa per, I would like that privi lege. The entire Day family and tha climbers rescued agree with one noint Mrs. Bailey made naOcly, that the only heroes of this mountain trage dy are those who lost their lives and those intrepid moun tain cl.'mbers and military men who made the rescue. To all of these heroes we will be eternally grateful. o It is my purpose to present another side of the issue that was raised by the Anchorage Times editorial and to present something of the attitude of the people of Anchorage. I do not wish to start any public controversy but because of tli, personal nature of the let ter and editorial 1 would like no present a few thoughts on this subject thoughts not adequately expressed to date. To present the answer to the editorial I can do no better than qucj$e from a letter that was published in the Anchor age Times. It was written by T. C. Kessler, a long time resident of Anchorage who has also lived in Medford. He said; "So let the truth prevail. We must classify not only the John Day party as adventur ers, but the majority of those who went to their assistance as the same breed! Their per sonal histories will bear this out. To each, the knowledge that chances must be taken is part of their creed, and to 0' - ' such thinking, great .trivSficcs of the human race Oiust be rediled . , ." For one week I worked with many ofrjthe people of Anchorage and with military personnel who were enaged in (he rescue. The effort put forth by these people was magnificent. The response of the Alaskan DefensiO Com mand and the cooperation of Ihe military with the Alaskan Rescue Group and the Seattle Mountain Rescue Council was splendid. Not once during this period did I hear any criticism from these people. ur. Itodney Wilson s com ment was merely, "It could have happened to anyone. It could have been us." We visited with Mrs. Sto enson and Mrs. Elliot, the wives of the two men who were killed in the plane crash. Even in their sorrow, they both emphasized that their husbands were adventurers and men of action. They were the kind of men who respond ed to Ihe challenge of rescu ing injureriO.ieople from a great mountain, such nt Mc Kinley. Mrs. Elliot told us that she wanted to be sure that we knew that she had no bitterness. Her Nisband was an ardent mountain eliijiber and she understood. In fact he was the first person to climb Mt. MeKinley after Alaska became a state. When I retiw-ned home I was dismayed and heartsick to learn of the type of press stories that had been printed in the states. They were noth ing like the stories in the AnchorageQjapcTs. All of the strongly felt and expressed feelings of gratitude on the part of Ihe climbers had dis appeared. 1 even was told that there was criticism of the res cue! That was completely un true. Ben Dav G- Hill, Ore. No "Coffee" in Heaven To the Editor: Last night 1 had a wonderful dream that Menace O ' " o 1 would like to report for posterity. I dreamed I died and went to heaven, and when I got outsids the pearly gates, I knocked for attention and St. Peter himself responded. "Young man," he asked, "what is it you desire?" "St. Peter," I answered in my most respectful tone, "I wouldjlike to be admitted to heaven." "Naturally," said St. Peter, "but first tell me about your record of behavior while on earth." I told St. Peter that I had been a good citizen, paid my bills, and got along with my fcllowmen. "Stfien did," said St. Peter. He looked me over very thoroughly and finally spoke, "Young man, what is that ar ticle under your arm?" I replied, "A thermos bot tle." "What is in that thermos bottle?" "Coffee." "Where did you get it?" "At the Carnn White Cof fee shop." O St. Peter was thoughtful for a moment and then said: "Young man, I am satisfied that you should be admitted into heaven, but that so-called coffee will have to stay out side." I poured out the 'coffee,' thanked St. Peter, and walked inty) heaven singing lujah. David Frisch P. O. Box 292 White City, Ore. Job Plan Praised To the Editor: I wish to thank Mr. Fred Stock as In stigator and the Medford 2030 club as sponsors of the Youth Job Pin?) and all others tak ing part in this project. I firmly believe this pro gram can be adopted and ap plied to the benefit all con cerned, in that it affords youth an opportunity to earn and understand the value of money while giving a usefuP vent to pent up energy through employment that keeps them off Wo streets and out of mischief. It will alsryirovide a liaison between those who have work to be done and those who desire to do this work. This is the first program of any importance, so far as I know, that has been offered for the prevention of Juvenile Delinquency (I detest that term). It has many possibil ities and if employed in all phases will be instrumental in molding better citizens and save the taxpayers money while elevating the morale of tha community and mak ing it a better placOin which to live. Everyone I hove talked to about it is strongl.tin favor, and many arO cooperating. Let's push it. I hereby offer to help in any wav I am able. C. R. Burrill, 122 Vilas road West, Central Point, Ore.

All you are doing is smooth the whole thing over. This America is not turning rotten, decadent and deprav ed. It is rotten, decadent and depraved. You mention hon est citizens, and hard work ing, dedicated public servants in city, county, school dis trict, state and federal gov ernment. If there are so many now, where have they been and what have they been doirtjj that we are in the mess we are in today? You speak of young delin quents. There are more old delinquents than there are young delinquents. I wonder why? I will tell you why, it is that fast buck you speak of agdfsny way to get it, fast or slow just so you get it. And if you get enough of those bucks, regardless of how you get them, you are a big boy in the community. That is our society of to day, and that is what is wrong today: our society. We were due for social changes 30 years ago. What happened? We were all starving in a land ef abun dance, that was the time for change. Did we get it? No, What did we get? W.P.A. - !etwiCr? HalleCP0 0 - N.R.A. and what nave you. mat was just to preserve the status quo, and don't get me wrong, I am a Roosevelt man. There were still millions of people unemployed, so what happens next? We are nego tiating with the Japs. We bottle the Pacific Fleet up in Pearl Harbor and you all know what happened. Chat is what put the idle back to work. Is that, good? Our gov ernment conscripted the cream of our ySting men for military service. They fought and died all over the world. Of course some came home. What did they come home to? A big war debt. Now if we had a government that is for the people, that government would have conscripted indus try along with men and there would have been no war debt to come home to. Any person that wants a profit out of war is not a fit citizen for any country, and the firing squad is too good for him. I could go on and on, but this is enough for now. This is not the. ox cart era. We are on our way to the moon, and nature never intended this grand and glor ious country of ours just for the Rockefellers, DuPonts, Motions, and Whitneys. In closing just two ques tions: Is this the society of to morrow? Is this the brother hood of man? Ray Prichard 213 West Main st. Medford Human Relativity To the Editor: Many people are familiar with Einstein's Theory of Relativity, that speed is onlyQipced when you ha-fi' something to use as a reference, but how many peo ple know that everything is relative? Sufli as this little theory. The Theory of Human Relativity There is another theory of relativity with a different sense and a different applica tion. A man's personality, ap complex iiVitself as any cos mic galaxy, can be experi enced by himself, and by him, little by little as he comes into contact with each new person he meets. After each meeting he Is not changed, but a little more self realized, if he is alert to this existing chemistry. Until he meets a thief he has nothing to show the British at the Dardanelles during World War I and al most wrecked the career of the rising Winston Churchill. Gathered Up Pieces It was Ataturk who gath ered up the broken pieces of Turkey after the defeat of Matter of Fact By joPh London - Who recalls the curious climax of the Quemoy crisis in the summer of 1958? A sud d e n 1 y announced Chinese Com munist cease fire ended the artillery blockade of r ormosas nine uii&uuic islffrrds. At that moment, JOSEPH ALSOP 11 IS now clear, the late John Foster Dulles' policy of standing firm in defense of the islands achieved its brilliant success. But this was by no means clear at the time. One of the ablest American analysts warned that the ceasefire was ao mere maneuver, which would worsen the position at P Quemoy. The waves of emo tion stirred up by the oppon ents of the Dulles policy con tinued to toss and rage for vvegks after the policy's suc cess. It was not generally ac cepted that the Dulles policy had succeeded, at least for that round, untiljnany weelcs after the Quemoy crisis had really ended. These odd facts are well worth, recalling now, because the view is gaining ground that something very like what happened at Quemoy in 1958 has now happened at Berlin in 196!r. As one man put it here: "it really begins to loofc as though than Berlin crisis was really just a larger, long er, more important, more alarming version of the Que moy crisis, with oratory sub stituted for artillery." - . . . F this views correct, the essence of ipoth crises was an initial miscalculation ot the risks in the Kremlin. A previous report, in this space I -I lk.vji,,na, I xiua siiuwii mt; uuicieut cal culations of risks by the lead ers of the West. In reality, of course, since the West is al ways on the defensive in theapthe Soviets were feady to cold war. the Kremlin's cal culations of risk are much more important than the Western calculations. In theijase of the Quemoy crisis, the nature and even the moment of the miscalculation can be "easily pinned down. The final decision to have a go at the offshore islands was certainly taken about a month in advance at a meeting be tween Khrushchev and Mao tse-Tung and their jjspective ministers of defense. him fee is honest, except sec ondhand concepts; ancPwe are dealing with first hand expe riences. Uijil he meets a brave man, he cannot know himself to be a coward. Until he meets a great number of men, and comes to know them for what they are, he can not know himself. People, like matter, are relative. Einstein's Theory of Rela tivity may take the great peo ple many hours and higher math than the average person has at his command, but I feel that this liWe theory is written simple enough for them to understand with ease.

And was Ataturk who ruled as a dic tator so that eventually Tur key might become a true de mocracy in the Western sense. Alsop Equally certainly, the de cision was based on two false assumptions; first, that the Nationalist garrisons on the little islands would quickly give up under fire; and sec- lund. that ihe UnitedC-6tS M ... 1! .1 wouia urge evauuanun ui mi: islands, as the U.S. had urged evacuation of the Tachen Islands somewhat earlier. In stead, the garrisons wctf stojS and determined, and so was Secretary Dulles. THERE follSwed an anxious test of will with conven tional weapons - artillery on the islands, and airplanes above the Formosa Strait. Meanwhile, the course of the crisis was really determined by the existence, thousands of miles from the scene of action, of the nuclear deter rents of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. In the end, it began to look as though the local test of will might evolve into wider and more dangerous fighting. Khrushchev then pulled the string he had kept on Mao tse Tung. And the ceasefire was proclaimed. In the case of the Berlin crisis, the foment of the Kremlin's miscalculation of risk is not known, but its na ture is, once again, rather easy to pin down. With me dium range ballistic missiles in plenty, and with intercon tinental missiles beginning to be operational, Khrushchev and his partners plainly decid ed that the moment had come when the Western Allies would yield at Berlin in re sponse to bullying and threats. In 1957, Khrushchev himself predicted to this reporter that just such a moment would come, for just three reasons. At Berlin, there was no physical room for a test of will with little weapons, and even if there had been room, such a test would have been too dangerous. So oratory, as indicated in the remark above quoted, was substituted for artillery. By oratory, every thing possible was done to convey the impression that fight for what they wanted at Berlin, if they could not get what they wanted as a present from the West. n a a MENACES were alternated with coos for a period of more than eighteen months. The coos, like the menaces, were designed to induce a present-giving mood in the Western Allies. But by this spring, file results of the test of will showed that the Krem lin had again miscalculated the risks. The West was not ready to give v3y at Berlin. Despite all the efforts to convey the contrary impression, the Kremlin was not ready to fight for what Khrushchev had demanded. There can be no doubt about this latter point, because if the Kremlin had been resdy to rug great er risks, Khrushchev would rertainly have made a very different sort of speech whrgi he went to Berlin after the explosion at the summit. For the time being, there fore, it is reasonable to regard the Berlin crisis as over, ff though it is by no means un reasonable to prepare for a new Quemoy crisis replacing the Berlin crisis.

LITWILLER FUNERAL HOME O Highway 66 at Normal Ave. Ashland Dial MU 5-4541 Only local member of Oreoon & When the army toppled Pre mier Adnan Menderes' near dictatorship last week, its leaders cited the heritage of Ataturk. Ataturk was born in 1881 in the Salonika area of Eu ropean Turkey. The Ottoman empire was crumbling and Turkey was on its way to earning the title, "sick man of Europe." He was a member of an of? ficer class which long had been a center of Western ideas. And when ho came to .oU,2?'er ne Put tnen taw ef- ; dC-etsOfi,, He abolished the fez as C a symbol of Oriental head gear, modernized the language and discharged Arabic char acters, separated church from state, established schools and gavecequal rights to v?omen. These were the Oactical . results of an ideal which the i Army accused Menderes of : destroying and which it has pledged itself to restore. The only survivor of the Ataturk regime is another Turk war hero-Ismet Inonu, now close to 75 years old. Inonu is famed for defeat ing the Greeks in 1921 and his name comes from the scene of the final battle. Inonu sefted as foreign minister for 15 years under Ataturk and carried out the latter's directives establishing Turkey's pro Western foreign policy. Could Be Called Again Inonu took over as presi dent after Ataturk's death, ' and, despite his age, could be called again to help guide Turkey's destinies. The army charges that the Mendares regime intended to exile Inonu to remove one more obstacle to its autocratic rule. Advices from inside Turkey say that army forces offered to put Inonu in power hut that he refused, preferring instead to assume new re sponsibilities only if given them in free elections. It Was Inonu who in 1950 believed that Ataturk's dream of a democratic Turkey final lyad been realized, and held the nation's first free elections resulting in the rise of Men deres. 0 It is said of him at that time that a group of high ranking army officers came to him, saluted, and said "we are at your service." The implication was obvious -a military coup, if he wanted it. I Inonu turned them down. over, one can be sure. But the parallel between these two recent crises shows one can also be sure of something else, ne can be sure, in fact, that there will be far fewer troubles for the West, if West ern defense efforts are ser iously designed to prevent the gremlin from making any miscalculation of risks in the future.
