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

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.

The development) of

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

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.

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.

Job Plan Praised
To the Editor: I wish to

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.

Society's All Wrona
To the EdiQr: Iruyour edi
torial on Bob Sunday, I will
Si.y that I g'i along with Bob.
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?

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.

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.

World War I and from them
assembled, and became the
first president of, the Turkish
Republic in 1923. 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

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.

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.
