Genefal vs. Specific
It always gives us pleasure to receive a com
munication from Robert J. Howard, one of whose
letters appears on this page today..
Not because he always agrees with us. He
doesn't. He tends to disagree more than agree
And this is all to the good, for it is only through
the discussion of different sides of different is
sues that the bosses of
taxpayers, voters can
independent conclusions
Mr. Howard does this better than most. So,
even when or perhaps particularly when he
takes exception to our
pleased.
IN today's communication, Mr. Howard states
his belief that the editorials appearing in this
space generalize too much.
He may be right.
But it seems to us that there should be space
in a newspaper for generalization. And it seems
to us that the place for it is in the editorial col
umns.
Most of the "hard''

they are implied.
'TAKE the instance cited first by Mr. Howard
where we arrive at the generalization "Gov
ernment is not evil."
His complaint appears to be that we did not
point out the obvious (that not ALL government
is eooci. ana uiai auu
not violent, irresponsible, subversive or an
archic).
The point we were attempting to make is that
government, per se, is not evil, out tnat a num
ber of people are attacking government, per se,
as evil, and that this is not good for the body
politic.
This seemed at the time and still seems a
perfectly good and valid
THERE is also the possibility that, if Mr. How

that any semblance of a point would be lost.
(We might also add

columns.)
And isn't Mr. Howard using the device of gen
eralization too, when he declares ". . . govern
ments can be used to wholly frustrate all good
intentions. When this is let happen, evil will
result"?
His conclusion is correct, as recent events in
Cuba (as one specific example) show. That he
sets forth no distinctions or qualifications does
not invalidate his point.
rNE can argue from the general to the specific ;
from the specific to the general, or generally
without, being specific. Each is a valid argumen
tative device, and we have used each, from time
to time, in attempting to express opinions on
matters of public interest and concern.
Each device also has its hazards, to be avoided
as best one may.
What Mr. Howard appears to be saying, be
neath his generalizations, is that he has disagreed
with our conclusions, and
on which they are based.
If this interpretation
we welcome the message,

Beware the Salmon!
The editor of the Grants Pass Courier has
run across a copy of a dispatch dated March 16,
1885, from a Manchester, Iowa, newspaper, dis
cussing one of the clangers faced by hardy pi
oneers in southern Oregon.
Here it is:

Specific and General
To the Editor: Invariably,
not always, but invariably,
your editorials reflect a de
termined effort to avoid nec
essary distinctions. In your
Sunday, June 12, editorial
you used Monroe Sweetland
to aid you in this effort.
By way of example: Few,
very few individuals will ar
gue with you that govern
ments are "evil," but a grow
ing number of knowledgeable
citizens will try to point out
to you that governments can
be used to wholly frustrate
all good intentions. When this
is let happen, evil will re
sult. Governments are means to
ends. Good governments can
be good means toward better
ing society; but these same
good governments may also
be good means toward en
slaving society, when they are
manipulated by men of evil
intent, especially when sen
sitive areas of an otherwise
good government are occu
pied by individuals who fall
into the categories of subver
siveness, ignorance, gullibil
ity or simply incompetency.
When any government is
so plagued, surely there is lit
tle justification in branding
"critics" of this situation as
'violent," or "irresponsible"
or themselves subversive."
Neither are they "anarchists,"
further, it is not obvious their
intent is "character assassin
ation," for truly, it would be
foolhardy to instill a false
confidence 1 n individuals
who, of their nature are not
able, or are desirous of di
recting or operating a gov
ernment according to its writ
ten constitution.
Your remarks on art, the
word here being used in the
modern sense, again avoids
distinctions. Art mirrors a
rare and priceless talent.
Modern Art expresses ideas
by taking on a high degree
of abstractness. It is not art
however, because of its ex
pressiveness, or its abstract
ness. A given piece is artistic
because of the nature of the
work itself (essence). Now
admittedly Modern Art has
been subject to much abuse
and fraud, some chicanery
and unwitting handling re
sulting in embarrassment. In
the latter case you need only
remember the affair of the
famous "Trafalgar Square,
when this piece was published
in a national magazine, up-
sidcdown!
Generalizations are neces
sary, but often in a given sit
uation the avoidance of qual
ifications has a strong tend
ency to mislead. This tech
nique, if continued over a
long period of time will tend
to Justify doubts as to your
original intentions.

The Biter Bitten
To the Editor: Bob Wal
ters, in his column "Out on
a Tassle" (I know-but corn
doesn't have limbs), took a vi
cious, and I'd say, uncalled-for
swipe at those city employees
he terms "parking meter
ticket-writers."
Perusal of his little patch
of corn leaves one with the
feeling that the attack was
motivated by something deep
er than Journalistic obliga
tion. In fact, one might logi
cally assume that Mr, Wal
ters is angry because some
member of the blue-clad clan
had the audacity to hang a
ticket on the windshield of
his sanctimonious chariot.
This being the case, I would
suggest that he forget, mo
mentarily, the bereaved four
bsft and try to view the in
cident dispassionately. Per

to recognize Mr. Walters as
a member of the powerful
press. Perhaps he looked
upon Mr. Walters as just an
other ordinary, and quite un-
clever, individual - a natural
mistake, it would seem to me.
In the spirit of fairness,
however, let me hasten to
say that the above Is pure con
jecture. Perhaps the attack
was not motivated by vin-
dictiveness. It is entirely
possible that Mr. Walters
was moved by professional
jealousy. After all, parking

Storing Ice
To the Editor: I read with
much appreciation your ar
ticle of June 10. entitled.
"Milking Glaciers."
I fully believe this article
is a real punch towards wak
ing up scientists and others
who may someday start plan
ning such projects over our
numerous dry countries.
The headwaters of the high
mountains could be the lead
ing method for safe and eco
nomical ways for holding un
limited supplies of water for
summertime run-off, automat
ically and at a cost in many
places not to exceed 25 per
cent of the costs of high dams
and reservoirs, which destroy
many thousands of acres and
homes in fertile valleys. The
ice packs could be m the dry
canyons, filled with ice to
last the entire summer run
off.
We have in our Green
Springs sufficient time and
places for three to five months
of freezing time to hold the
entire supply of water safely;
and in case of war, there
would be no chance for pollu
tion or breaking of dams and
floods. These ice packs could
be eventually adjusted for
depth for proper run-off.
For an extreme example
where water would be plenti
ful and no dam sites created,
the Reno Valley is suffering
for water, and the Truckee
river and head waters of the
American river would be
ideal places, as well as many
other places, such as Utah,
Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming
and Montana. I have given
much time and talk to water
commissioners in these areas
without success.
I have tested these plans
with garden hoses and fire
hoses, and it has proven to
be extremely successful. There
are numerous ways and places
this plan could be demon
strated with only a few pen
nies, compared to the old
system.
I worked with the Ashland
authorities several years ago
for making a small demon
stration in the Ashland water
shed. I told them I would
supervise the plan in order
to show the workmen how to
keep the pipes from smashing
down with the ice being
sprayed. The reply was "We
know how," and before the
winter really started, the
anchor trees were flattened
and all pipes smashed in sev
eral feet of ice. The wreck
age is still there and the re
port came out unsuccessful!

Matter of Fact by joSePh ai,op
THE LADY FROM NIGER
Washington - The marvel
of the current American po
litical scene, and one of its
most signifi
cant elements
too, is A d la i
S t e v enson's
c a d i dacy-non-candidacy
for. the Demo
cratic P r e s 1
dential nomi
nation. The latest
ceptionally t o n e y political
serial had a special charm.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
analyzed all the Stevenson
pronouncements, pounced on
her favorite's admission that
he was "not a draft-dodger,"
and therefore announced that
he really was a candidate
after all, Stevenson, asked
for comment, reiterated for
the umpteenth time that he
was "not a candidate." The
reporter who asked for the
comment then heard him say,
as though privately musing:
"Oh, dear, I suppose tnat
will get me into it (presum
ably meaning trouble) witn
Eleanor, won't it?"
BUT in order to grasp the
full meaning of the Stev
enson candidacy - non - candi
dacy one must examine cer
tain of the earlier, less well
publicized acts. It is best to
begin with the big confronta
tion scene between Stevenson
and the Democratic front
runner, Sen. John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts, which oc
curred on the day after Ken
nedy's triumph in Oregon.
Kennedy then hoped to per
suade Stevenson to come out
for him.
Like everyone else who has
approached Stevenson for any
comparable purpose, Kennedy
got exactly nowhere. Steven
son was profuse in his expres
sions of good will. He strong
ly emphasized that he was not
a candidate himself. But he
also said that he could not
indorse any other candidate,
because this would stultify
his previous proclamations of
neutrality. And he aided that
when the Democratic conven
tion had made its choice, he
wished to be in a position to
act as the great binder-up of
wounds and peacemaker, be
tween Kennedy and Sen. Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas, for
example.
a
THIS seemed a trifle furprls
ing, since the Stevenson
Lyndon Johnson relationship
has been the opposite of in
timate. But as though to give
substance to Stevenson's ex
planation to K e n n e d y, the
Stevenson serial's next act
was a long, elaborately cozy
meeting between Stevenson
and Johnson. At this meeting,
the Senate Majority Leader
used all his awe-inspiring
powers to persuade Stevenson
to join the stop Kennedy
movement in an active way.
If Stcvensoi, really -ent to

Radio Peiping has more
than doubled its broadcasts
beamed to Latin America in
English, Spanish and Portu
guese. In Havana, the Chinese
have started publishing a
daily newspaper, the "China
Light."
With an estimated 25,000,
Cuba has the largest Chinese
colony in Latin America, fol
lowed by an estimated 20,000
in Peru and about 10,000 in
Mexico and Panama.
Peiping's propaganda line
points up similarities between
Red China and Latin Ameri
can countries, with emphasis
on U.S. "imperialist" designs
on the continent's under - de
veloped countries. It says that
all suffer from the "oppres
sion" of Western colonialism
and calls for less dependence
on capitalist markets.
There is no real measure of
the effectiveness of the Chi
nese propaganda line. Eco
nomically, progress has been
slow. But scores of economists
This thought occurred to
me vrhen I stopped by the
caucus room to take in a
couple of rounds of the box
ing investigation being con
ducted by the Senate anti
trust subcommittee.
The subcommittee seems to
feel that the prizefight indus
try is anti-trustworthy. And
small wonder.
A pugilist named Jake La
Motta testified on the open
ing day that he once "took
a dive" although he was still
standing when the bout end
ed. I guess that means he
went into the tank feet first.
When I read about this in
mobilize the loyal Stevenson
ites in California, Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey, and else
where, he could contribute
importantly to stopping Ken
nedy. But Johnson - like Ken
nedy before him - got exactly
nowhere. The proof that John
son also failed is to be found
in the invisible prelude to the
Stevenson Mrs. Roosevelt
dialogue.
When she promulgated the
theory that Stevenson really
was a candidate after all,
Mrs. Roosevelt was acting for
a small group of Democratic
leaders who hoped to draft
Stevenson at Los Angeles. The
group includes Senator Mon-
roney of Oklahoma, former
Governor Lehman of New
York, former Secretary of the
Air Force Thomas Finletter,
the old Stevensonian peren
nial, George Ball, and other
like-mind persons.
THE purpose of Mrs. Roose
velt's announcement was
to raise a banner which would
rally the faithful. Too many
of them have lately shown a
tendency to follow Prof. Ar
thur Schlesinger Jr. and Ken
neth Galbraith into the Ken
nedy camp. Before Mrs.
Roosevelt acted, moieover,
Senator Monroney and others
went all out to persuade Stev
enson to make a "positive"
comment, which would seem
to give extra substance to
what Mrs. Roosevelt was go
ing to say. But these long
telephone calls to Libertyville
ended like all the, other ap
proaches to Stevenson, They
only produced the result al
ready shown.
In all this, there Is more
than a hint of Pope's Atticus,
who was "willing to wound
and yet afraid to strike." In
Stevenson's case, howe"er, the
verse must be amended to
read, "willing to run, and yet
afraid to sweat."
Meanwhile the bitter-ender
Stevensonites have cast their
candidate in still another role
- that of the Lady from Niger,
who went for a ride on tiger,
and came back from her ride
inside. They believe that if
Senator Kennedy is stopped,
Stevenson will be drafted.
Without any real help from
Stevenson himself, they are
going all-out to stop Kennedy.
But they ignore the tiger In
the Democratic equation, who
is Senator Johnson.
Kennedy cannot be stopped,
after all, unless Senator John
son holds his massive block
of votes together. If the Stev
ensonites and the Symington
adherents and Johnson jointly
avert Kennedy's, nomination,
Johnson will at once become
the front-runner by very
wide margin. In the ensuing
melee, It will be Infinitely
easier for the fast -moving
Johnson to increase his dele
gate total from around 600 to
731, than for Stevenson's ad
herents to swell their 100 or
so delegates to the magical
majority figure,

and some Latin American
businessmen have visited Pel

good trading prospects.
The Red Chinese, more ob
viously than the Soviets,
usually attempt to make use
of their nationals in any in
filtration campaign. These
tactics range from an appeal
to loyalties to the homeland to
outright blackmail.
Family Reprisals
In the United States, the
Red Chinese have used threats
of reprisals against family
member) still on the Chinese
mainland to extract U.S. dol
lars from persons of Chinese
ancestry.
In Indonesia, which has a
large Chinese population, the
Reds attempted outright in
tervention in Indochinese af
fairs, leading to the present
strained relations between the
two countries.
Economically, Red China
has little to offer Latin
America now. But its cam
paign in Latin America is
an another good example of
its expansionist aims and
Communism's drive in gener
al to isolate the United States.
Replacing
the morning paper, it sounded
more interesting than the last
subcommittee hearing I at
tended, which involved the
automobile industry. After
all, Ford never threw a
match to Chevrolet.
So when the boxing in
quiry resumed, I resolved to
be on hand. Since there was
a chance the hearing would
be televised, I made certain
that I shaved with a thinking
man's razor blade in order to
please the sponsor.
I had no sooner settled my
calluses into a ringside seat
when I began to get that "this
is where I came in" feeling.
The first witness called had
a familiar look about him, re
minding me of someone I had
viewed in the past.
Sure enough, he turned out
to be Irving Mishel, whom I
had seen in the same chair
in the same room last year
as a witness before the Sen
ate Rackets committee. Talk
about your crossroads! I might
have stood on Times Square
for 12 years and never seen
Mishel again.
Serving Prison Term "
The reason why I say that
is this: Mishel is serving a
10-to-20 year term in the state
prison at at Dannemora, N.Y.
With paroles the way they
are, he still has from 2 to 12
years to go before he can
bask in the bright lights of
Times Square,
Seeing Mishel again sort of
made me nostalgic. I had 'to
restrain an impulse to rush
up to him and ask "how are
things in Dannemore?" I had
to restrain it because Mishel
was being guarded by two
burly U.S. marshals.
I thought Mishel looked
fine although he seemed less
talkative than before. This
may be because someone had
threatened him with violence
if he got chatty this time.
The subcommittee tried to
draw Mishel into a conversa
tion about his underworld as
sociates. I came away feeling that
in the manly art of self
defense the Fifth Amendment
may be more valuable than
the bob-and-weave.
