What it savs is that ment has flagrantly violated the American Decla ration of the Rights and Duties of Man as well as the O.A.S. Charter. It accuses the Trujillo regime of denial of free speech and assembly, arbitrary arrests, cruel treatment of prisoners and use of political terror. All this was known committee spent four months investigating. It is not less well known because the committee had to talk to exiles and others outside the Dominican Republic, which refused to give it entry. MEVER before, however, has the O.A.S. exco Hated a dictatorship in this hemisphere for its tyranny, despite ample opportunity. ihe non intervention nrincinle was for long so sacred that the republics resisted inspection of internal af fairs. The peace committee itself had been inac tive since 195b. Yet in recent years, as dictatorships were overthrown, it became clearer that tyranny could hide behind non-intervention. Fidel Castro's Cuba was one of the first to demand action for human rights, and at the O.A.S. meeting in Santiago last August, the peace committee was reactivated. A Venezuelan request sent it to work in the Dominican case, applying a new theory. THIS theory is that tyranny which creates ex- Eternal tensions justifies O.A.S. inspection. The peace committee found that the Dominican situa tion had disturbed Caribbean relations by hostile nronaganda against nations harboring Dominican exiles, and by reported minican agents abroad, thrive on external trouble, the connection bet- tween tyranny in one country and tension around it may prompt lurther U.A.b. inquiries. The Dominican investigation establishes a precedent for a possible One country is a right other leftist," and the two as in the other freedom crushed and criticism rests are common.

Billboards Or Dollars Are the citizens of the state of Oregon will ing to forfeit several million dollars? Most citizens probably don't realize that the states have only until July 1, 19(51, to enter into anti-billboard agreements with the U.S. bureau of public roads authorized by the Federal Aid High way Act of 1958. . The act offers a federal bonus of one-half of one per cent to states which agree to regulate billboards within (5(50 feet of rights-of-way ac quired since July 1, 195(5, system. WHILE the percentage of such acquisition in this state mav be small it should be remem bered that the cash stakes are high as federal contributions to state road funds are expected to reach 40 billion dollars. . Maryland. appears to roadside control standards high enough to meet present federal requirements; that state expects to receive up to three million dollars in billboard bonuses. Technicalities in the to confuse state legislatures and hinder passage of legislation needed to qualify for the federal dividend. Some of the legislatures may interpret the federal standards too broadly for the bureau of public roads. THE federal standards sanction four types of signs alon'g interstate highways: Directional or other official signs and notices required or authorized by law. Signs advertising the sale or lease of prop erty on which they are posted. Signs permitted by state law which advertise activities conducted ' within 12 miles of their location. Signs giving information of interest to the travelinir public that are and are consistent with the national policy oi standards. IT IS WITH a note of regional pride that we recall the original billboard legislation was offered by the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger. Ncubcrger led the drive to reward states that comply with the proposed legislation rather than penalize the states that tlo not. The bonus factor should serve as an incentive to states to enact the appropriate legislation al though the avoidance of roadside clutter should be incentive enough. La Grande Observer.

Sensible Discussion To the Editor: There are two things I will not argue over, religion and politics. However, a sensible discus sion of matters pertaining to either subject is sometimes very reveaiing. 'The other day a gentleman commended me through these columns in what I had writ ten regarding drunkenness. I appreciate some of his re marks. He went on to stress the need of a revival in this area. I believe we need a re vival all right, a revival of true Godliness in our hearts. The sad part connected with many revivals is that along with the excitement and emo tion, many people profess a new religious experience and yet go on in the same way as before. Many expect God to exhibit His healing power while they go right on defiling their body temples. I believe in miracles, but my Bible tells me that at the final day two classes of people will come before our Lord. One class has pro fessed religion, even had mir acles wrought, but are told to depart and are called "workers of iniquity. My understanding of God's will is that in His great love for us he wants us to be obe dient. This has always been God's plan. Satan chose other wise and has been warring against God's righteous stan dard ever since. God has a divine law and if Satan can succeed in deluding men so they no longer believe in God's law, then he has won a point. Just think for a moment what would happen if some one were to arise and declare the laws of this land null and void. But how much a greater insult to our Creator to have so-called men of God declare the claims of God's law are not binding. A Chris tian's freedom does not ex clude him from being obedi ent. He, of all pel-Sons, should live in harmony with God s law. 1 wonder if Christ himself were to come to Medford to hold a revival, how would He act. Would we find Him down at the tavern drinking in mod oration and smoking perhaps only a little? To me moderate drinking is the school in which men are receiving t drunkard's career, if my Sa viour ever drank fermented, alcoholic beverages, I should be happy for the references Drunkards will not inherit God's kingdom.

I know it to be a sacrificial moment in my life, although I know someone Is going to have to make that sacrifice sooner or later, and It might as well be mine. The sooner, the better, and the earliest possible time is now. It's this: to all intents and purposes the Allies (America carrying the bigger load) lost World War 1. In what respect? Simply this: it spawned Russia in its begin ning. Similarly, the Allies lost World War 11 because it cleared away the last remain ing butter stale, or govern ment, capable of restraining Russian advance. Everybody knew what they were after. The Germans were seeking expansion, probably a revival of a form of the earlier Holy Roman Empire, sans the inter vening power of the church. The Russians were reaching out, exploring, car (fully Menace weighing their chances. The Allies were only half aware of the big stakes. In the even tual sum total, the results to date show that the Allies have consistently lost, that the Rus sians have equally well won their struggles. Are we to go on playing in their hands? It is to be supposed that during those eventful 11 days following the end of hostilities at the clos ing of World War II the gen erals in the field, and the al lied governments at home, de cided this question in the af firmative. Thus, Russia was permitted to move in and consolidate her gains, while the Allicsl dallied until the Russians had attained her objectives. In the end, of course, the Allies won nothing but trouble.

Recently we acquired some old books and among them was a 64-page book published by the Medford Commercial club in 1910. It has pictures of the fruit industry and Med ford Main street. It also shows the Rogue River valley of that time and gives figures of the value of Ihe fruit of that time. It is one of the most in teresting booklets I have ever seen, and I wonder if the Commercial club still exists in Medford or any of the or iginal club members are still around there.

With Robert Ryan and Peter Ustinov al ready set for two of the star ring roles, and Ustinov as sexned to direct, the film is scheduled to go before the cameras late this year, O Today Cr Tomorrow By Walter THE COMING REAPPRAISAL ' In the short time remaining to him there is still one great work which the President is uniquely qual i f i e d to do. This is to pro mote and pre side over the una voidable r e a ppraisal, which must in many ways -to use the wnrHs nf Tiihn Uvimlnn Foster Dulles be agonizing. The uprising in Tokyo, which went far be yond mere rioting, and the highly significant demonstra tion in Okinawa, are unmis takable signs that we must reappraise theory that in or der to contain the power of the Soviet Union and of Red China the United States must establish forward bases on the frontiers of the Communist orbit. The strategical policy of encircling communism with military bases on the periph ery was conceived immediate ly after the second World War, in the late '40s, when the United States still had a monopoly of the atom bomb and was not only invulnerable itself but irresistible on the offensive. In 1949 the Soviet Union broke the monopoly, and in the years that followed acquired a nuclear stockpile and the airplanes and missiles to carry nuclear bombs. Then the strategical policy of per i p h e r a 1 containment was bound to become increasingly unworkable. This meant that the time had come for a re appraisal of the strategical poiicy which rested on our lost monopoly. IiHE reappraisal was not made, and accordingly, the State department and the Pen tagon addressed themselves to the task of persuading and cajoling the peripheral coun tries to eschew neutralism in the cold war, to line up with us and against Russia and China, and to grant us mili tary bases. A few countries, notably India, refused to par ticipate. But all around the rim of Asia, encircling the Russian and the Chinese heartland, we made alliances and established bases. To our surprise we found that as we established our selves on this dangerous per iphery, we became increasing ly unpopular, and the more arms and money and person nel we pumped in, the more the masses of the people and the intellectuals to whom they listened became neutral ist and anti-American and lei-low-traveling. IT WAS stupid of us to be surprised, and very stupid to allow ourselves to think that these ungrateful people would be loving and loyal if it were not for the Commu nist agitators from Moscow and Peiping. We refused to look at the stark and dom inating fact that once the Soviet Union had become a nuclear power, the peripher al countries were defenseless. They could not be defended by "massive retaliation" be cause neither our European allies in NATO nor Canada and ourselves in North Amer ica were in a position to de fend them against boviet counter retaliation. We may not like to say it out loud, or even to see it at all, but there is a profound weakness in a strategical pol icy which rests on bases that are indefensible. However much we may choose to ig nore this brutal fact, the peo ple of Japan are very much aware of it. So are the peo ple of Okinawa, who could be knocked out with one hy drogen bomb. A policy which puts allies in such a position has to be reappraised. For bases are no good in a coun try which is terrified and in rebellion because of the dan ger they create. DOES a reappraisal of the obsolete strategical pol icy mean a retreat before the expansion of Communism, and abondonment of our al lies, and the withdrawal of American military power as a deterrent force inside Rus sia and China? The answer is that it need not mean any of these things, and It should not mean them if the reap praisal is penetrating and thorough, if the action that follows is bold and is wise. Let us leave aside Europe where the situation is radical ly different because of the political and economic ma turity and the inherent strength of the old nations In Asia, in the presence of the two Communist giants, the normal and natural policy of a non-Communist country is to be aligned in the cold war. As long as there exists a balance of power among the giants, this is the best defense of the small and the weak against conquest and against intimidation. o lippmann Neutralism, with American approval, makes also for good will and influence. India and Burma, and I think Egypt also, show that if we do not try to force these countries to become our military satel lites, they will welcome our help and advice in their in ternal development and their resistance to Communism. Parallel with the evolution of our policy away from peri pheral military containment, it is the task of the Pentagon to find substitutes for the ob solete and essentially inde fensible peripheral bases. There is no real doubt that this can be done, and accord ing to Mr. Louis Kraar of the "Wall Street Journal" who has been at Quantico for the recent meeting the mili tary planners are working on the problem. Rome, as the saying goes, was not built in 'a day, and our outdated Asian strategy will not be revised in a day. The rebellion in Asia against our peripheral strategy is un doubtedly mounting. To give the State Department time to reappraise and revise and re adjust its relations, and to give the Pentagon time to im plement a new strategy, the most effective thing to do would be for the President to put himself at the head of the reappraising. This alone offers some hope of reducing the virulence of the rebellion, a virulence which has its roots in the terror of being the victim of a more' horrible Hiroshima. FOR obvious reasons, the President is uniquely able to take the lead, and to make the reappraisal and revision his validictory service to the nation. (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Matter of Fact CATCHING THE BIG ONES Washington-At last Satur day's meeting in Sacramento of the giant California dele gation to thef D e m o c ratic conv e n ti o Brown c a m e within an ace of abandoning h i s favorite son presiden tial candidacy in favor of sen. jonn i . josiph alsop Kennedy of Massachusetts. Gov. Brown, was narrowly dissuaded from this dramatic - and decisive - step by the brisk and witty Democratic Senator from California, Clair Engle. Sen. Engle argued that the step the Governor desired to take was prema ture and would hurt Brown's prestige. He further said it would distract attention from the real business before the Sacramento meeting, which wa3 dislodging California's Democratic National Commit teeman, Paul Ziffren. Two days ago, moreover, there was a repeat of the same debate between Gov. Brown and Sen. Engle, this time by long distance tele phone between California and Washington. Once again, Sen Engle narrowly prevented Brown from coming out for Kennedy. He had rallied most of the Democratic Congress men from California In sup port of his view. Their opin ion, as transmitted by Engle, impressed the Governor. . NONETHELESS, Sen. Engle has bluntly warned the senior Democratic politicians who are hoping to stop Ken nedy that Gov. Brown will join the Kennedy camp soon er or later. He may do so before the convention opens, perhaps when the California delegation holds its last grand rally on Sunday, July 10, or perhaps even earlier. As a minimum, the stop- Kennedy forces are now ex pecting Brown to make his move immediately after Cali fornia has given him his fa vorite son vote on the first ballot at Los Angeles. Fur thermore, it is now accepted that when and if Brown makes this expected move, Kennedy will get a solid ac cretion of California dele gates, despite the state's strong sentiment for drafting Adlai Stevenson. These facts, obtained from undoubted sources far from friendly to Sen. Kennedy, have important meaning in themselves. They mean that unless something happens very soon to change Gov. Brown's mind, Kennedy can hope for the kind of break in California that may well gain him the nomination with out further ado. And Ken nedy's prospects in California are made even more signif icant, because of the chang ing outlook In Pennsylvania, 1 rr j4 - 4 mf . 1 IPOTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) There was real consterna- tion in the house when the dauehter (age 13) discovered she had gained a half-dozen pounds in the few days since school let out. Her mother, also weight conscious, also climbed on the scales and shrieked to find that she, too, had gone up on the scale. There was a flurry of talk of diets, of exercise, of cloth ing problems until it was discovered that the other daughter (age 6) had been playing with the scales and had managed to readjust them to read six pounds higher than they should. Summertime (which ar rived early last Tuesday, right on schedule) is a time of school vacations and of Kool-Ade stands. Last week there were a couple within one block of each other on East Main street, and no doubt others scattered throughout the whole valley. One of our young men, out with his young woman, patronized one such stand during a lop-down jaunt through the valley last week. So delightfully warm was the weather, so cute the kids dispensing the cooling liquid, and so en trancing his companion's company, that our young man reported that, after in vesting in ihe 3-cenis-per-glass beverage several times over, he "had Kool Ade coming out my ears." What a difference a few vpara makes! We know a young man who used to take his wife to the coast, or to Crater Lake, or some other cool scenic spot By Joseph Alsop HE ERE the key figure is Gov. David Lawrence, whose authority in his state is far greater than Gov. Brown's. Lawrence has al ways been the biggest of the Democratic grandees in the officially uncommitted group; and he has always been cooler to the Kennedy candidacy than anyone else in this group. For these reasons, he has also been the key figure in every project for bringing the Kennedy bandwagon to a grinding halt. Now, however, the most im portant of Lawrence's feuda tory chiefs, Philadelphia lead er William Green, has begun to give clear indications of a preference for Kennedy. If Green follows through, it will be a sore loss to Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri, who has counted for months on the Phialdelphia vote. It will not be surprising if Green follows through, either. Gov. Lawrence, who also leaned to Symington at first, has lately confessed to more than one of his Democratic bigwigs that he is sadly dis appointed in the Symington candidacy because of its com plete failure to get off the ground. IF THE Governor rules out Symington, he is still the oretically free to turn to one of the two Democrats who he most admires, Senate Major ity Leader Lyndon B. John son of Texas or Adlai Steven son. But it is known that Lawrence met with rebuff of the sharpest kind, when he recently canvassed the possi bilities of Johnson's candid acy with Pennsylvania's lead ers of the Negroes and organ ized labor. As for the project of draft ing Stevenson, it is also known that Gov. Lawrence feels a successful draft is im possible, except in the highly unlikely event that Sen. Ken nedy himself goes to the con vention platform to plead for Stevenson's nomination. Law rence has in fact passed on this doubly discouraging judgment to Stevenson him self. ffHE Pennsylvania picture thus recalls the old song about the blue bottles hang ing on the wall. And at the moment, it is beginning to seem that Kennedy will have the best chance of being that "last blue bottle" which bar choristers always wail over. Both the Pennsylvania and California pictures also sug gest the enormity of the dif ficulties the s t o p-Kenncdy forces will have to overcome. As previously stated in this space, it would already be safe to predict the early col lapse of the stop-Kennedy movement. If its real leader were not that proven polit ical magician, Sen. Johnson. (c) 1960 New, York Herald Tribune Inc. almost every week end dur- ing the summer. A colleague, whose chil dren were youthful and whose home had a yard and a lawn, stayed home to take care of these responsibilities. But now, four or five yean later, Young Man No. 1 has small child, another on the way, a house, lawn and yard. He stays home on week ends. Man No. 2, however, has children who are sufficiently group up either to go along or stay home without super vision, and a yard sufficiently matured to take care of itself for a day or two at a time. And he takes off for the week end whenever he can. One of our local - mer chants has a method for de tecting economic recession that is sure fire, and just can't fail, so he says. AU you have to do it keep an eye on the maca roni market. When timet are good, he says, everyone eats well. But when the pockeibook starts to pinch, then noodle sales go up. Perhaps the M-T should start quoting fluctuations in spaghetti along with the , Dow-Jones slock averages. The 1960 National Rooster Crow in Rogue River last week is history now, but we noted this comment from the Salem Capital Journal by Vie Fryer, after reviewing back ground and the contest's out come: "There was no report on the disposition of the winners but for the sake of posterity (human posterity), let's hope that the rules specified that all roosters that crowed more than once would be consigned to a pot of chicken and dum plings and that all roosters that refused to crow be re turned to their flocks for the sake of chicken pos terity." Whenever there Is a hu man element, there will be what are called "boo-boos." Such was the case one afternoon last week at the Oregon Shakespearean Fes tival rehearsal when a usually stately actress con vulsed the whole Festival cast with a classic. Shakespeare wrote the -. line: "Forward men to the ' bridal dinner!" But before a full stag of companion actors and a scattered audience, the line came out: "Forward men to the bridal chamber!" The Festival opens July 25. We're waiting to see how it comes out then. That 18-month-old sure had a rough week! He fell down concrete steps, rooting his nose in the dirt; later the same day fell in the driveway, rooting his nose again; the next day fell against the coffee table, al most swelling one eye shut and partially blackening it; and the next day put his chubby little hand on a warm stove burner, searing the skin. For a while he looked like he had Ingo fever. One consolation: he sleeps all night. Which reminds us that not long ago ihe younger set of another staff mem ber's family fell out of a highchair, knocking him self out. That resulted in an ob servation trip to the hospi tal, some anxious moments (as is true in any young family), and a heartwarm ing smile before the tears were dry. College students are re puted for not having any money. Whether this is true of two vacationing in the val ley this summer we don t know. Anyway, they had a rather tasty dinner tor just 25 cents the other night, although we can't condone the possible moral question involved. It took a package of dried soup mix, and a trip to the local butcher. The latter re ceived the sad story of how the students had adopted a stray cocker spaniel-Labrador retriever puppy, who indeed was just dying for a nice juicy bone (preferably a soup bone, but they didn t tell the butcher that). Sure enough, that evening they had 25 cents worth of the best tasting soup in the valley, they say. And they had a couple of quarts left over for lunches. (If they boil It down even further, they might have a very ritzy cold consume.) HOTTER THAN HADES San Bernardino, Calif.-flHTJ-When the temperature reach" ed 104 degrees here, the Rev.
