Pool Questions Answered
To lht( Editor: I would like
to answer sumo of the ques
tions brought up by Mrs. W.
W. Brawn.
The "8 foot wading pool"
which was supposed to have
cost $4,000 is actually 20 feet
in diameter and was donated
to the children of Med ford
by the Crater Lions club, paid
for by the money raised at
a TV Auction held early this
spring. The cost was 52,800.
The big pool in question
cost $74,3K7.7!J, instead of the
SfU.OOO quoted, which is still
a lot of money, but you must
remember that the bath-house1
and filtering syMeni was de-1
signed fur a diving pool, plus)
the swimming pool. Would i
you like your children swim-j
min in water that was not;
adequately filtered and heal
ed'.' The stale health depart
ment wouldn't.
As for Die partitions, doors
and clothes bags. 1 believe
that is a case of nut enough
money. I bet the children us
ing (lie pool are much happi
er with the added size of the
pool than they would be with
a private booth to dress in.
The cut feet (we prefer to
call them abrasions) are an
unfortunate occuranee which,
could only be prevented by j
requiring all children who i
don't swim well to leave the,
pool after one hour in the wa
ter. To prove what I mean.!
soak your hand for one hour!
in 8(1 degree water and see!
how tender it gets. The abra-;
sions are caused by the ten-;
tier feet (actually the abra
sions are on the ends of the
toes in almost all cases) be
ing constantly rubbed on the
bottom and sides of the pool.j
I am sure the city parks and1
recreation director would in-1
vite any interested parent to j
examine the pool for a n y !
roughness that could possibly
cut a foot.
It is regrettanle that the
hard work of the Crater Lions
club, the city of Medford en
gineering department, the
park and recreation director.

Second: There is no need to

Who started credit and
loans? They are money lend
ers' gimmicks as old as com
merce and trade, to exploit
merchants that were short of
ready cash to float a big deal.
The acquiring of interest was
the money lenders' motive.
The Government has credit
and loan affairs if you can
qualify, but I do not advise
it.
Credit and loans are part
and parcel of our way of life.
Our government pays out a
million dollars a day to a par
asitic class for the use of
money.
At present the nation is
rolling on the arms race,

I "GROWTHMANSHIP"
I Last week at St. Louis the
Vice President announced that
"we are now ena.qed in what
will become,
bef or e this
year is out, a
major national
debate over
the subject of
economic
growth."
Who will be
debating with
whom, and
about w h a t?
According to Mr. Nixon, while
we are in favor of growth, the
critics of the Administration,
namely Governor Pockefeiler
and the leading Democrats,
are not to be taken seriously.
For they are playing "the
most fashionable parlor game
of our time - a game that
might be called 'growlhman
shipY Just why do these playboys
spend so much time and en
ergy on a mere parlor game?
It is because they realize the
great importance of our slow
ed down ralo of growth. At
our rate of growth in recent
years we are unable to meet
our public needs, lo add to
our defenses, and at the same
time to keep on increasing
private investment and to
keep on raising the civilian
standard of life. We have
been producing less than wi
p.i-cd and less than our econ
omy is capable of producing.
TpRO.M 1953. which marked
the end of the Korea war
boom, through 11)59, the aver
age rate of increase of output
has been only 2.4 per cent.
The average is low because in
those seven years there were
two recessions. The net result
was that the average rate of
increase was less than the
average, 3 per cent, from 1870
to lfllUI. Yet in these seven
years of sluggish growth, the
country has had the capacity
- it has had the labor, the
capital equipment, and the
technical know-how - to grow
at the rale of at least 4 per
cent.
It may not seem like a big
difference, to grow at an aver
age rate of less than 3 per
cent or to grow at an average
of 4 per cent. Bui in an
economy of S500 billion, it
makes an enormous differ
ence. Each percentage point
of increase is about S5 bil
lion, and so the difference
between our recent average
rate of 2.4 per cent and the
4 per cent which wo are quite
capable of is that difference
between adding S 12 billions
a year and adding $2(1 bil
lions a year to our wealth.
We have a rapidly growing
population. At only $12 bil
lions increase, we cannot
spend more on defense and
on our public needs - such as
education and urban redevel
opment and scientific research
- without reducing the im
provement in, perhaps with
out cutting back, the civilian
standard of life lint at 4 per
cent with $211 billions, we can
afford to do the things that
reasonable men. including as
we shall see the Vice Presi
dent himself, think should be
done.
That is why concern with
game.
! Tl'DCUNG by his St. Louis
, " speech. Mr. Nixon does not
Walter
Llniiiiiaiin
1 understand the problem. For
pon-lHftrr scoffing at the nomilar
interest in growth, he con
cludes his own speech with
a broad general endorsement
of a large spending program.
That, at least, is what he calls
it when Governor Rockefeller
and the Democrats propose
the same kind of a program
Umttr his auspices it ceases
tle more than $850 annually
per capita was among the
highest, if not the highest, in
all South America, but actual
ly was concentrated among a
few,
Its rural population was a
wandering one, with only a
few owning land and the
others roaming from plot to
plot as the land wore out or
changed ownership.
The government today has
crash programs under way in
the field of education, indus
try and agriculture. It is a
government in a hurry to
shape a Venezuelan national
consciousness and to lift
standards of living in all
fields.
In education, some figures
help tell part of the story.
In 1958, school facilities in
the primary grades were
available to only 600,000 chil
dren. That figure is doubled
today. In middle education,
the number has jumped from
30,000 to 86,000; and in the
universities from 8,000 to
20,000.
to be a spending program and
it becomes "investment in the
public sector."
He would invest in "our
public education establish
ments, in our national trans
portation system, in the re
newal of our run down urban
areas, in the development of
our natural and human re
sources, in providing imagina
tive new leadership for the
exciting scientific and tech
nological revolution which
will dramatically chahge the
whole character of life in
America and the world in our
lifetime."
He goes on to say, as if he
thought he were Nelson
Rockefeller, Jo.in F. Kennedy,
and Hubert Humphrey rolled
into one, thai "timidity in
these areas wculd be as detri
mental to the nn.innal inter
est as timidity in private in
vestment." TN THIS extraordinary pass-
age Mr. Nixon has adopted
the domestic program of his
opponents.
But there is still a differ
ence between him and the
Democrats and Governor
Rockefeller. He does not say,
and assuredly he does not
know, how to pay for the ex
pensive program which he
now advocates, for it cannot
be paid for unless there is a
substantial rise in the average
rate of growth except by cut
ting down on private invest
ment and on private consump
tion. So if Mr. Nixon wants his
promises to the voters to be
taken seriously, he will have
to learn to play the parlor
game of growthmanship.
rPHERE is one other feature
of the speech which calls
for a few .words. In a long
passage Mr, Nixon talks about
the Soviet rate of growth,
which he puts at 8 per cent
and our own which he puts
at 3 per cent. He then says
that the opposition critics are
proposing to raise the Ameri
can rate lo that of the So
viet's. If the critics do that,
they are exaggerating. A sus
tained average rate of 4 per
cent would be ample for us.
Mr. Nixon says, too, that the
critics think, as Mr. K. appar
ently believes, that the Soviet
economy will by 1970 catch
up with and surpass the Amer
ican. No serious American stu
dent of this subject agrees
with Mr. K. What the serious
critics say is that the Soviet
economy is about half as big
as the American and that
its rate of growth has recent
ly been at least twice that of
the American. This means
that the annual increment of
new wealth - which is avail
able for military and civilian
purposes and for private con
sumption - is about as large
in the Soviet Union as in the
United States.
(Thus call the U.S. economy
100 and the U.S.S.R. s 50. If
ours grows at about 3 per
cent, there is an increase of
3. If theirs grows at 6 per
cent, there is also an increase
of 3.)
VOW with equal annual in
1 ' crements the Soviet Union
directs a larger portion than
we do to national purposes.
To understand the significance
of this Mr. Nixon need go no
further than to the studies of
the CIA and the testimony
of Mr. Allen W. Dulles:
"The major thrust of Soviet
economic development and its
high technological skills and
resources are directed toward
specialised t-idustrial, m 1 1 1
tary, and national power
Matter of Fact a
THE U2'S REAL MEANING
Washington - In the last 18
months, the Soviet air defense
system has been rapidly and
powerfully re
inforced with
a dense, na
tionwide net
of surface-to-air
rocket
sites. The new
anti - aircraft
rockets to be
fired from
these sites are
joskfu ai.sop estimated t o
approach the American Nike
Hercules in range and over
all efficiency.
These singularly unpleasant
facts are among the more im
portant bits of information
which the American govern
ment largely owes to the now
suspended U2 flights over the
Soviet land mass. Ironically
enough, therefore, the facts
actually gathered by the U2
rather directly contradicts the
over-optimistic interpretation
of the U2 episode which this
reporter, among others, help
ed to disseminate.
When the U2 story first
broke, it was natural to read
very good news into the bad
news. If the U2 could easily
reach Sverdlovsk with its
cameras, it seemed to follow
that the B52s of the Strategic
Air Force could just as easily
reach Sverdlovsk with their
bombs.
HPHUS the U2 episode's most
- significant effect in this
country was to give a false
picture of the contimiirg
power of the Amer'-""n deter
rent in the period rf ;'ic mis
sile gap. As uau".l, the Ad
mini'. r: lion f::iled to set the
record straight. So did the
recent report of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
Yet the record needs to be set
straight on the eve of the
election year debate on this
country's strength and pos
ture. The record shows that ser
ious weaknesses in the Soviet
air defense system were in
deed revealed, in the earlier
period of the U2 overflights.
At that time, the Soviet anti
aircraft radars were found to
be highly inaccurate in one of
their main tasks - determin
ing the exact altitude of their
targets.
Two years an, an attempt
was made to intercept a U2
with a Soviet fi-ihier plane,
no doubt beca i-c the U2's
operating altitucio had been
wrongly estimated on the
basis of misleac'in- radar data.
The fighter re-u'-cd its own
operating ceiliir; at about
10,000 feet below the U2,
which was flying at 70,000
feet. The fighter also lacked
any "snap-up" capability with
goals. A major thrust of our
economy is directed into the
production of the consumer
type goods and services which
add little to the sinews of our
national strength.
"Hence, neither the size of
our gross national product nor
of our respective industrial
production are a true yard
stick of our relative national
power position. The uses to
which economic resources are
directed largely determine the
measure of national power."

Joseph A.-p
an air-to-air rocket, compar
able to the American Side
winder. It fired ii- ennnon in
vain, and the u'2 flew on
wards untouched.
OINCE that time, however,
the Soviet air defense sys
tem has been improved in
several important ways. MIG
19 fighters with much better
altitude characteristics have
been introduced. Last year,
one of them went above 90,
000 feet to set a new altitude
record (which was later brok
en by U.S. fighters).
Again, new radars have
been introduced which are
far more accurate at high alti
tudes. What is known here
about the fate of Lt. Francis
Powers's U2 is in fact mainly
owed to the data from these
radars, as described in the
monitored radio traffic of the
Soviet air defense system.
Finally, the inadequate and
incomplete surface - to - air
rocket defenses of the earlier
period have now been re
placed. In the short space of
only a year and a half, the
new system already described
has been installed and is being
rapidly completed.
None of these developments
was the immediate cause of
the destruction of Lieutenant
Powers's U2. It was destrov.
ed because engine "flame-out''
caused it lo lose altitude, and
to descend within range of
the Soviet air defense system.
THE Soviet defense system,
in truth 1 nnl .....
.., qriiCC-
live against aircraft fivimr at
the U2's normal altitude of
io.uuu teet, as was shown hv
i'l-.e successful U2 flight on
April 9. But the Soviet sys
tem is unquestionably effec
tive against aircraft fiying at
the B52's maximum altitude
of 55.0000 to 60,000 feet.
Thus the story of the U2, as
one unchallengeable Ameri
can authority has summed up,
"has no bearing at all, either
way, on the power of our
strategic deterrent."
Meanwhile, t h e improve
ments in the Soviet defense
system that have been sum
marized have quite direct
bearing on our deterrent
power. They certainly do not
mean, of course, that the de
terrent is now powerless. The
Soviets must certainly believe
that they have reduced the
B52's ability to strike home
at their Russian targets. But
they cannot believe that they
have reduced it enough. Oth
erwise, the Berlin crisis would
have ended differently.
Yet the stark fact remains
that there was no substance
in tlie hopes which were
temporarily raised by this re
porter and other optimistic
interpreters of the U2 story.
Instead, there is the same old
hard reality of the period of
the missile gap, with all of
its potential dangers,
