They Won 't Actually Know The possibility that the Republican Party's presidential nomination will be withheld from Richard Nixon is so remote that the speculative stories that are appearing in the newspapers don't deserve the space given them. Mr. Nixon has many more than the necessary number of votes pledged to him now to get the nomination, lhat enough of those votes could be changed before convention time to deprive the vice president of the nomination seems incredible. A small core of liberals would like to have the nomination go to New York's Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. And an even smaller number of con servatives would like Arizona's Sen. Barry Gold water to be the party's standard bearer. But the vast majority of Republicans, both liberals and conservatives, want Mr. Nixon. THIS; it seems to us, is a most interesting com TYlonfoi'i, nn tlio nViQl-Qfoi nf Mi' Mivnn ATornr conservatives think he they desire. And many will provide a program Thus, you see, Mr. Nixon continues to be what he has been since his beginning in politics, an opportunist who can shift with the political winds as quickly as a bird in flight. There is something in Mr. Nixon's record that assures both conserva tives and liberals that Few men in Washington are as fast afoot. He plays both sides and seldom gets caught in a comer that he can't quickly get out of. He does occasionally, as he did last month when he tola a meeting in Chicago that he was for federal aid to education and less than a week later voted against it in the Senate. But he can be excused for that one because he could not have foreseen that he would have to issue. WE WILL have an unparalleled situation if Mr Nivnn in plppfprl Prpsifipnf..

Kulintr tor the defendants. Landowner lorn Winn and the construction firm to whom he sold gravel removal rights on his property, Circuit Judge Frank B. Reid, in effect, has decided that county zoning control is non-existent m agricul tural areas. The county planning refused to permit the gravel removal and was up held in its action by the board of county commis sioners. But the gravel was removed, and Judge Reid subsequently dismissed the county's conten tions that this was done m violation of the law.

However, it. could be months before a final decision is reached. Meantime, county powers culture and to prevent poses seem to be suspended, if not yet entirely nuintied. Regardless of what the supreme court decides, it is thus apparent that the 19(51 Oregon Legisla ture will need to attack this problem. This should be done to assure the orderly development of the many Oregon communities which are quickly changing from purely agricultural areas to ones where agriculture, other industries and residential subdivisions are in growing competition for land areas. Unless explicit agricultural zoning powers are provided in statutes which all courts will recog nize as subject to but one interpretation, only helter-skelter growth can be expected in these communities.

Most of us have, I am sure. Some 1 realize might feel that way towards the writer of these lines. You have a right to your opinions. We do want to try and be sure at all times that our ideas are cased on a sound, solid foundation and not just someone else's opin ion or heresay. From time to time I have tried to direct my friends to ward what I have felt is a true source of solid sound reasoning. One who might be perishing of thirst would not want to be shown a stagnant pool from which to obtain life-giving water. Yet many today find themselves grop ing and thristing after some thing far more important than physical refreshment. The cravings of the human soul can only find refreshment at the true source. I am sure you know who that source is. The other day I chanced to be in a nearby business house A man walked in and some how we began visiting. I noticed that one of the clerks declined to even as much as recognize this man. It didn't take me long to realize some thing was wrong. Then I caught the odor of his breath. As he made his way out to his car I did some thinking. He had told me that he lived down the river about 17 miles. I have always had due respect for the down river route from Yreka to Happy Camp.- Our police officers warn us against driving while under the "influence." "If you drive don't drink" and "if you drink don't drive." Yet the same of ficers are required to give legal protection to businesses which sell alcoholic beverages to these drivers. If these drink ing persons would go to a hotel and sleep it off first, it might be better. It doesn't work that way.

The liquor traffic poses a far greater threat than all of the rattle snakes in Southern Oregon. It may seem to some that the majority thinking Is right but thank God the real majority is right. The unnumbered Heavenly beings are on the side of true temperance. The Sacred Scriptures show this to be a fact. Henry Johnson Jr. ' 2400 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Grim Menace To the Editor: Organized minorities. What a grim men ace they can be and too often are, not only to national econ omy, but to survival as a na tion. It is difficult to fathom out which of the two is our greatest danger today, our highly organized and financed labor unions or the world power hungry and grimly org anized Soviets of Russia. As this is being written this Sunday morning, our very dependable home news paper, the Mall Tribune, head lines the shutdown of Con vair, makers of our one and only ready 1CBM Atlaa. by striking union labor. Inter Mene put ah X Girxot often the case. national Writer Harriman in the M-T has just warned us that words are meaningless and treaties less than 'scraps of paper' to the Soviet; that only weaponery capable of blasting them into oblivion is the one thing they respect. Stalin once put this in under standable meaning when re plying to warning of the pow er the Pope wields, contemp tuously remarked: "just how many divisions does the Pope have?" A musician friend took me to task just recently for my opinions publicly expressed concerning our organized la bor unions. Like the average union devotee, he bitterly at tacks the very ones who pro vide jobs for workers and the 'so-and-so' capitalists who pro vided the finances. And yet, he is out of work save for an occasional dance job, for he is talented and a highly ac complished musician. But, though he admitted his union helped him little or none at all in getting work, he, like all union members, obviously did not want to be quoted in criticizing his union for fear of retaliation, quite the same as a Russion or unfortunate satellite citizen, dares not lift voice against the Communist hierarchy.

I hate to be one of those people who say "I told you so", but we're so proud of the Medford State Baseball Championship Team that we must go ahead to say that the writer predicted their suc cess several months ago to the editor of the Mail Trib une in his communications column.

One of the many services rendered annually a our Tri State Fair Is the one Negro day, the one in which Negroes have the right to attend, and do come in from the planta tions in these three adjoining southern states, literally by the hundreds and thousands, and into this Bible booth for their Bibles-all too often their first Bibles.

Wild Wide Bible Gift Mission 1719 Buckner St. Shreveport, Louisiana A Trip, and Home To the Editor: I just return ed from Happy Camp, Calif., where I went to attend the graduation of my grandson, Milton Riley Blackford. It was one of the happiest mo ments of my life to see my grandson march at the head of his class with his gold honor cord and class uniform, and then to take his place at the head of his class and give the welcome address. Milton will visit in Alaska for a while, and then take up train ing in the air academy. Their class motto is - "Enter to learn - go forth to serve." I also had another grandson graduate at Lakeview, Ore., on June 7, with high honors (Lee Riley Davis). My daughter took us for a drive south of Happy Camp, and we witched several con victs working on the highway. They will soor be paroled. On further down we visited "Faccenics T e r r a c e." The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Vlnce Rltzinger, have made the most beautiful scenic home I have ever seen. Flowers, lawns, trees, waterfalls, and the lovely evergreen trees, for a background. They have also cut outs of animals, an gels, etc., all in among this artistic beauty. This lovely home was built from deep weed:, and an old old shack, so it shows what people can do with hard labor and lovely artistic ideas. Back to camp and a won derful barbecue dinner. The song of birds and the running creek and the lovely cool air that just lulls you to sleep. Morning comes all too soon and we hear the call "Ham and eggs - come and get it.". Home acain to my own un terraced flowers, the greet ings from my neighbors, and the cat, "Jingles," but too late to go to the Fifty Plus club.

There, the guards wouldn't let them through the gates despite the show of reams of top creden tials.

Nelson Rockefeller's ex traordinary attack on both Vice President Nixon and President Eisenhower, That Rockefeller is desper ately trying to fan the hereto fore dying embers of a "draft Rockefeller" movement is ac cepted as obvious. The only real questions are why he now supposes this can be done and why he is trying it so very late in the game. At the end of last year the New York governor got out of the race against Mr. Nixon for the GOP presidential nom ination. He said that the party bosses had frozen him out and so they had. In the months since, Nixon, who al ready had largely controlled the regular party organiza tion, has gone on to lock up the nomination, barring some thing approaching a miracle. SIX months ago it would have hppn hv nn ihpatir Impossible for Rockefeller to give Nixon a genuine contest. And even if the challenge had failed, the governor would have suffered no great harm. Today It is just short of In conceivable that he can stop Nixon, A Republican conven tion that nominated Rockefel ler would now have, among other things, to repudiate the Eisenhower administration. It is not simply that Nixon now totally masters the na tional party machinery - and now will also likely have Mr. Eisenhower's total blessing It is not simply that Rocke feller's latest oblique chal lenge to Nixon has plainly failed. (This was the effort in the California primary to run up a "silent vote against the vice president.) There is also the fact that the GOP-all the GOP-is now in trouble, where it was not in trouble last winter.

Harrassing Tactics East German Communists are drawing up plans to elim inate elevated railway traffic in West Berlin. The Commun ists control elevated train service for both sectors of the divided city, and, according to reliable reports, now are working on a scheme to bypass West Berlin. The elevated is the city's principal means of transportation and to halt service to the West would be to close a loophole for escape from the East and reduce East-West contacts. Tradition Breaker Some organizers of the World Eucharistic Congress opening in Munich, Germany on July 31, are hopeful that Pope John XXIII will break another tradition and attend the congress. One million faithful are expected to at tend the meeting and the feel ing is that the Pope's presence would give it a tremendous lift. Vatican sources are not saying and it is against tra dition for the Pope to go from the Vatican. In any event, the Pope will make the final de cision. S. WHITE ence has made the difference. The GOP "peace issue" is now shaky-if the Democrats don't throw away their poten tial new advantage by overly violent clamor against the president. rTlHE Republicans wlll 'per mit party in-fighting, but only to a point. Unlike the Democarts, they won't toler ate it when the GOP family as a whole is in real trouble against the Democrats. The man who breaks ranks at such a time is marked forever by his own fellow partisans. One politician in all Republican history, Theodore Roosevelt, has got away with such a na tional rebellion without being destroyed nationally. Thus Rockefeller's new course has brought both dis may and puzzlement to the Republican p r o f e s s i onals. There is dismay because Rockefeller's kind words for Mr. Elsenhower's "integrity" in no way hide Rockefeller's indictment of the Eisenhower administration on nearly everything from national de fense to civil rights. And there is puzzlement be cause the Republicans by and large simply cannot under stand what seems to them a Rockefeller thrust of far too much far too late.

This strategy enraged some Repub licans and annoyed others. Rockefeller's anti-Nixon play has had about the same effect. There are indications that Eisenhower bears some re sentment against Rockefeller. If so, the President is not alone in that feeling. Among the remarks -of-the -weejc which obtained considerable currency and concurrenca was this, from Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.): That the Senator could dis cern no difference between Rockefeller's approach to cur. rent issues and the approach, of the Democratic presiden tial aspirants to those issues, The Conservatives Conservative Rep ublicans said amen to that. The conser vatives make a mistake, how ever, in brushing Rockefeller off as just anther Stassen. Stassen's political future was behind him in 1956 when he sought to rally an anti Nixon crusade. He was not risking much because he had little to lose. Rockefeller has much to lose, and he has lost some of it by offending the party leaders who know that they must win this year on the Eisenhower record if they are to win at all. Rockefeller also has much to gain, and he probably has gained some of it in becoming an anti-Nixon, left-wing Re publican symbol. That should make some political hay for him among the independents and among the Democrats. Simple arithmetic shows that Rockefelelr will be 58 years old in 1964, a good age for a presidential nominee. Consider, for example, the sit uation in 1964 with these "ifs": If. No. 1: If Nixon were nominated and defeated this year. . If No. 2: If Rockefeller were reelected in November, 1862, to New Yorks gover norship. Given both of these eventu alities, Rockefeller probably could win the 1964 Republi- can presidential nomination. Perhaps the governor has thought of that. RAG PICKER DIES RICH Milwaukee, Wis.-(UPD-An 86- year-old rag picker who lived in a 523-a-month, htter-laden flat left an estate valued at more than $741,000, it was reported today. Authorities who searched the tiny, three room flat of Albert Friedrich after his death found a gar bage can filled with stock and bond certificates. them by the Republican gov ernor of the union's biggest state. F NEW YORK state L goes Democratic in now the presidential election -as can d i d Republicans privately concede to be a heightened possibility - Rockefeller will be bitterly blamed by all GOP factions. His basic theory is that if Nixon loses for the Re publicans this year they will need a Rockefeller to nomi nate in 1964. The theory, however, is more promising on the out side than on the inside. Aca demically, the word in 1964 might well be "who but Rock feller?" but in reality the an gry party pros-even those not their hearts too keen on Nixon-would far more likely adopt quite another slogan: "Anybody but Rockefeller." It is said that the elephant never forgets. And the ele phant is not by accident tha symbol of the GOP. (Copyright, 1960, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
