SON SATISFACTORY
Uondon-WPU-Prlnce Bcrtil,

after undergoing an emerg

A spokesman refused to dis
close the nature of the operation.
I A
A Glass
Lamentably, the notion that public office is a
public trough seems to have at least a few ad
herents in the 86th Congress. A series by Don
Oberdoifer and Walter Pincus copyrighted by
the Knight newspaper provides piquant docu
mentation of an age-old abuse. Their account
shows that' some Congressmen have evidently
doctored records to ink out money spent for wives.
Vouchers in the House Disbursing Office show
that one Congressman (unnamed) used tax
money to frame "an original oil of nude lady."
NATO Conference accounts, supervised by Rep,
Wayne Hays, have been used to purchase 47 one
way airline tickets to depots near Mr. Hays' Ohio
district. High-living sleuths on the House Un
American Activities Committee scent out subver
sion from the swankest hotels and bill the public
$90.38 for an evening in New York's chic Persian
Room, perhaps to check on vodka consumption.
"VUTRAGE is in order, but it ought to be a little
tempered. The House of Representatives is,
after all, a mirror of the Nation in both its fraili
ties and virtues.
If members of Congress have indulged their
imaginations in compiling expense vouchers, so,
regrettably, have a good many persons in the
business world. Deductible dissioation is wide
spread in private as well as public enterprise.
And, for the record, it should be noted that only
a few members of the House are involved in the
worst abuses.
This does not mean, however, that such petty
abuses should or can be glossed over. Surely it
is infuriating that members of congressional com
mittees can assign themselves winter holidays,
live .lavishly on counterpart funds, and then re
turn as some do to denounce "waste" in for
eign aid programs. t t
PUBLICITY is the best curative. Speaker Ray-
. burn was wise in overruling an ill-advised
attempt by the office of the House clerk to seal up
expense records in the House.
But mere opening of the records is not enough.
As it stands, the vouchers are jumbled together
in almost studied disorder. The records ought to
be filed in a way that makes scrutiny meaningful
as well as possible, perhaps by grouping vouchers
for each committee.
Moreover, the General Accounting Office
ought to be instructed to make an analytic audit
and not just tot up the figures, as the law now
provides. And the Senate might well follow suit.
Before throwing stones at government spend
ers, Congress in all fairness ought to raise the
blinds in its own glass house. Washington

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Tokyo:
Thousands of fanatic left
wing (communist-indoctrinated)
students mounter" a new
shouting, snake-dancing dem
onstration before the Japan
ese Diet (parliament) building
in an eleventh-hour effort to
block the U.S.-Japan security
treaty and topple Premier
Nobusukc Nishi's government.
Swirling and dancing like
dervishes, they chanted rhy
thmically: "Smash the treaty!
Down with Kishi."
WHY this frantic eagerness?
The answer is that TIME
was of the essence of their
program, which has two main
objectives:
1. Frightening the K I s h 1
government I n t o cancelling
President Elsenhower's visit.
2. Forcing the downfall of
the pro-American Kishi gov
ernment BF.FORE Sunday, be
cause on Sunday the treaty
passed into automatic ratifi
cation by the upper chamber
of the Japanese parliament.
The lower chamber ratified It
on May 20.
Tiie first objective was ac
complished when President

onstration that was going on
in Tokyo Friday was designed
to accomplish the second ob
jective.
FROM Taipei, Formosa:
Communist Chinese artil
lery erupted with a massive
bombardment of the offshore
Qucmoy islands shortly before
President Eisenhower was due
to arrive in Formosa.
The red shore batteries
opened fire with thousands of
guns (the communists claim)
against the 14 tiny Islands
that lie four miles oft the
Pelping-ruled harbor of Quc
moy. Communist loud-speakers
had given advance warn
ing and denounced President
Eisenhower as being "a rat
whom people want to step on
and crush.

Picnics' and Things
To the Editor: What a hap
py interlude it is to take off
with picnic lunch to the green
hills or nearby park, like Tou
Velle, bordering the clear cool
running Rogue River, with
oaks shading the numerous
tables, all in good order by a
dedicated care-taker. So for
tunate it is, with time such
an element in the planting
and care of growing vegeta
bles. Like on a recent morn
ing which found us up with
hoe in hand at 4:30, with four
hoses of water, to chase about
among the alternate rows of
corn and 'taters in the east
garden. With a few minutes
to wolf down breakfast and
no chance for mid-forenoon
rest, we had the watering
completed by 12:15. Almost
best of all was the exultation
that aged bones and muscles
could take it that-away.
So, we do feel entitled to
take this Sunday off to enjoy
the cat-fish Derby by the 20-
30 club at TouVelle, to meet
there with picnicking friends,
including chin-whiskered ban
joist Woody Murphy and log
hauling Guitar Pete, a marvel
in bringing out 'lost cords'
from anything with .-singing
strings, as with head wagging
emphasis he fishes up songs
from depths of memory that's
a privilege and joy to hear.
AH this discreetly located
back aways, so as to not in
terfere with the main doings,
directed away from it with
public - address system, we
hope to enjoy it all in our
own way and time. Mostly to
bring back for a little while,
some remnants of the past in
costume and folk-ways.
As promised to sponsors a
year ago, ' if granted health,
strength and time here on
earth, we plan to do again a

Differences in Art
To the Editor: Could I per
haps encourage you to make
a small retraction and modify
an assertion?
I Icel that. in your effort to
aid one faction of art (the one
you subscribe to) in Its effort
to control the art exhibit at
the State fair, you employed
some words without immedi
ately realizing the adverse In
ference to honest and Innocent
people who subscribe to a dif
ferent form of art.
Recalling some of your own
editorial statements about
peaceful co-existence and dis
crimination of another type,
I'm sure you did not mean
this "art editorial" to sound
quite so prejudiced . . . i.e.,
surely you did not mean to
make the word "amateur"
sound cheap or like a bad
word? ... or "competence" to
sound unattainable?
True, I don't have a mod
ern university education.
True, I am an oldster. But . . .
I am proud of the record I
have made as an "amateur"
artist. I paint traditional
thlngs-honcstly, with sinceri
ty, with pleasure. I paint this
way, not because I am without
superior knowledge, but be
cause I like tradiUonal things:
and many, many ot the people
In the Rogue valley and the
state like them too. Since I,
and most other "traditional"
Menace
artists pay great attention to
form, line, balance, design,
perspective, harmony, etc..
please do not discount our
competence" merely because
of a difference in subject mat
ter! Even though it may be con
sidered unimportant by you,
u is ot great importance to
me, and others like me, to be
an AMATEUR, TRADITION
AL painter of the Southern
Oregon countryside. So don't
discount us completely. You
might be wrong.

Discrimination?
To the Editor: Our street
parking seems to have a large
discrimination in favor of
meter use.
On June 14 my car was
parked at Ninth and South
Front sts. at 12:45 p.m. This
is a two-hour parking area.
At 3:08 p.m. an over parking
summons was placed on my
car. I must admit the effi
ciency of the tagging officer,
as but some 23 minutes was
the time of over parking.
My complaint is: I was cit
ed to appear in city court, or
post "bail." I posted bail of
$1, and was also assessed $1
court costs, a total of $2.
If I had parked across the
street at a meter I would not
have been cited into city
court but would have been in
convenienced only to the ex
tent of putting SO cents in an
envelope and dropping it in a
red box," no court citations
or court cost and but SO cents
penalty instead of $2.
Is this discrimination to be
called traffic regulation?

Curbs Too High
To the Editor: I could not
help being touched in read
ing the letter Mrs. Lillian
Green wrote in Sunday Mail
Tribune, about the need of
benches for people to rest
This old world is going fast
and everyone here would like
to get what enjoyment they
can while here, either on foot.
or in a wheelchair, but the
cross streets, most of them,
have too high a curb to wheel
up over, so will have to go to
alleys and back to go on, and
one person cannot get a chair
up alone.
The alleys are not only
rough on the person riding,
but hard to push, and hard on
the chair.
Those who are riding or
being pushed about love to be
out in this lovely sunshine
and view the lovely displays
In the windows as they go
to pass the time.
I am sure there would be
more cripples out to enjoy
life if the streets were so
they could cross.
A couple of shovels of con
crete up against the curb
would malv a small ramp
and easy to wheel up over.
Seems like that would be very
little expense when there
so much money spent to make
children happy.
This would not only be
helpful to wheel chairs but
to small children that stub
toes and fall to skin their
knees, as I've seen.

Foreign Notebook: Socialists
Overplayed Hand in
By PHIL NEWSOM
- UPI Foreign Editor
From the foreign editor's
notebook:
Overplayed Hand
There's a good chance the
Japanese left wing Socialists
overplayed their hand in the
demo n s t r a
tiont that
forced cancel
lation of Pres
ident E i s e n
howers trip
to Tokyo last
week. In the
elections that
must follow in
the- near fu-
phil nlk son ture, tne pop
ulace is likely to show its dis
gust and cause the Socialists
to lose considerable ground.
On the other hand, the Demo
cratic Socialists, a moderate
group dedicated to Demo
cratic procedures, are likely
to pick up ground. In any
event, the Liberal-Democratic
conservative Party of Premier
Nobusuke Kishi is an odds-on
choice to win the next elec
tions. Best bet to succeed
Kishi as next prime minister
is 61-year-old Hayato Ikeda,
minister of Trade and Indus
try. Russian Follow-up
Expect Russia to follow up
the Tokyo events of recent
days with a stepped-up cam
paign against United States
bases abroad. Communist
pressure is being exerted in
all-out fashion for the annul
ment of the U.S.-Japan se
curity treaty and the com
plete removal of U.S. bases on
Japanese territory. The same
strategy is being applied by
Moscow in Europe, where the
Kremlin is pushing a system
atic intimidation campaign
against the "outlying" NATO
nations, including Turkey
and Norway. In additon, the
Kremlin is seeking to intimi
date American allies in the
CETO pact, with Pakistan
presently the chief target. Dip
lomatic sources expect Mos
cow to make the anti-foreign
bases campaign the chief ele
ment of its strategy for the
next few months, while the
Berlin issue is shelved.
British Concerned
Although the British gov
ernment is saying nothing of
ficially, it is deeply troubled
by the United States' plight
in the Far East. Officials fear
that what is regarded as a
Inspiring avocation. We still
believe, however, that the
word "traditional" is a mis
nomer when used in describ
ing works of art which might
better be called "realistic," for
the artistic "tradition," from
the beginning, has been one
of experimentation and self
expression which is less
factor in realistic painting
than in other forms.
Dog Petitions
To the Editor: Another case
of the tail wagging the dog
happened when the city vot
ers passed the bill that makes
us out here in the country
either tie up or muzzle our
working dogs. Imagine my
Gus digging out a mole or
field mouse when wearing a
muzzle. Reckon he will have
to stomp on it.
There are 113 precincts in
Jackson county. To beat this
thing am advised that each
precinct may circulate a spe
cial petition and vote on it
independently. Am assured
that enough signatures are be
ing secured to compel a new
vote to repeal the bill that
passed this primary. The city
vote can again defeat it.
Attorney Walter Nunley,
also a country resident, is pre
paring petitions.
Any person that is interest
ed in circulating a petition
may pick one up at his office
or send self addressed enve
lope and they will be mailed

Vatican Silence

it is quietly asking certain

FACT AND THEORY
Washington - For the sec
ond time within weeks the
United Nations faces a contest
between tne
i n e s c apable
real! ties of
present life
and the out
moded diplo
matic niceties
of the 19th
century.
Again it is a

William S. "
white c o n d i t ions,
facts clash with a theory that
was no doubt all right in a
world of safety now long
gone.
A little while ago the se
curity council was solemnly
trying, and at length acquit
ting, the United States for the
vast "crime" of sending a spy
plane over the Soviet Union,
The Soviet Union's charge -
violation of its sovereignty -was
gravely put as though no
other nation - and surely not
the scrupulously nice apparat
us of international commu
nism had ever operated es
pionage. And this in a world
where espionage is as real and
universal as is the desire of
nations to keep alive.
Now, Israel shortly goes be
fore the U.N. to answer Ar
gentina's complaint that her
sovereignty, too, has been vio
lated by the capture in Argen
tina by Israeli "volunteers" of
the infamous Nazi, Adolf
Eichmann.
If ERE was a man charged
a-- with the systematic mur
der of 6,000,000 Jews in the
Hitler era. For 14 years the
tireless Israelis had been on
his track until at last they
found him and took him off to
Israel to be tried for crimes
too horrible to be much dis
cussed.
The Argentines had put no
slightest finger of accusation
or of punishment upon rum
though he had come there il
legally and illegally had re
mained. For the security coun
cil now to attempt to order
his return to Argentina would
be unthinkable, for two rea
sons.
First, this would mean that
Eichmann would continue to
cheat the justice already so
long overdue. The U.N. has no
courtroom, no prison, no pow
er to punish, nor has any oth
er existing international in
strumentality.
Second, the Israelis in any
case would politely but firm
ly tell the U.N. that they were
very sorry but that Eichmann
would face an Israeli court of
justice all the same.

which is wholly unable to pro
tect anybody from the fact
that crime still goes on in this
world.
So the true importance of
this case is not related to the
fine-spun legalisms of the
U.N., as the true importance
of the U-2 case did not lie in
such legalisms. The real point
of the last U.N. trial was that
it highlighted the enormous
success of American counter
espionage in having penetrat
ed for four years the skies
over the lowering iron cur
tain. The real point of the com
ing U.N. trial of Israel is its
dramatization of a hitherto
little-known fact - the spec
tacular efficiency of Israel's
security and counter-espio
nage. This correspondent, in
a visit a few months ago, saw
a little of that system at work
along Israel's troubled fron
tiers.
e
WHAT was not seen then
and never will be - was
the human form of the top
most man in Israel's intelli
gence .operations. This man is
wisely kept nameless by the
Israeli government, as the
British government keeps ab
solutely secret the identity of
its very top security man.
(The United States, in the per
son of Allen Dulles ot the
central intelligence agency,
makes its top man known.) -
The No. 1 man in Israel's
cloak - and - dagger ' establish
ment is truly cloaked, though
carrying no dagger.-The pub
lic will never know who he
is; the Israelis will not dis
close his identity even in the
coming Eichmann trial.
Many of our wiser friends
