When the story came out, not one word about the Ashland production appeared. BOTH Shakespeare, and the Oregon Shake eneareaii Festival will survive this, as thev have survived worse tribulations. But we'd like to share with everyone a letter which Bob Rein holdt, president of the Festival association, wrote to the magazine, in pait, ne saia : "May we congratulate yoti on your thoughtful Shakespeare article in the July 4 issue. Pertinent publications such as this do much to assist us in main taining an authentic Shakespearean tradition in America. "We are aware of space problems In your maga zine and we were not at all surprised to find our organization omitted. Because we are not guilty of the production errors you have noted in our more spangled offspring, we could not have provided the effective frame you chose for your story. "But our international patrons will be disappoint ed to find that the first Shakespearean Festival on this continent - and the only one that makes a creed of authentic Elizabethan staging - has failed to make your pages. "Again our thanks for adding emphasis to Shake spearean truths we have been probing since 1935." PRESIDENT Reinholdt's letter, courteous, com- plimentary, yet subtly critical, is a far more effective commentary than some of the irate communications which have been rolling from steaming typewriters in this area. Yet the irritation is fully understandable. Time, the omnipotent, the snide, the anonymous, issues its pronouncements from Cloud 9, bringing to the literate peasantry its dicta slickly dis guised as "news. Part of the local irritation is, of course, at tributable to sour grapes. But a major part can be chalked up to resentment at the magazine's "Time Brings All Things" condescension, and its total omission of any reference to the first and only American Shakespearean Festival dedicated to authentic Elizabethan theater. E.A. People and Liability Bill Jenkins, a back-to-nature type who writes a column for the Klamath Falls paper, is considerably bucked up by the thought that a big new industrial plant mignt go to laano or Washington, rather than to Uregon. He isn't at all enchanted by the prospect of a crowded, industrialized Oregon, and he some what resents the current efforts to attract in dustry to the state. And he joins with the noted Oregon author, Stewart Holbrook, who believes that we should do everything we can to keep people OUT of the state, let alone trying to attract more of them. JENKINS says: O "Oregon, it seems to me, is pointing a two-pronged program at the nation's manufacturers and being extremely cautious not to let its left hand know what its right hand is doing. "On the one hand we hold out the colorful pic ture of a tourist heaven, a paradise vacuumed out daily by Mother Nature's sweetest zephyrs and pro ' vided with Utopian furnishings in the way of lakes, streams, mountain meadows, towering peaks, fish ing, camp grounds and smog free air. "But on the other we are extending toward the fac tory owners a picture of vast stretches of land which would be more attractive were they covered with blacktop, tall buildings, hurrying crowds and the un steady roar of mighty industrial plants . . . "I cannot bring myself to believe that Oregon was ever intended to be a hub of industry . . . "And more important, can we afford to throw away priceless reserves of natural resources for the lesser rewards of sordid commercial progress? Yet I fear we are perilously close to doing just that. Once gone the scenic and recreational values of our re gion are gone forever. There is no resurrection for a forest destroyed, for a lake drained, for soil steri lized by commercial wastes. You make up your mind which you want first. And then you live out your life with the consequences . . . "I hope I never have to see the day when I shall have to write the epitaph for the region: "Died "Ot Progress "The Pacific Northwest "1750-19 ?" WE SYMPATHIZE strongly with Jenkins.

First "Keep Green" To the Editor: It is now just short one year of the two score mark since the U.S. For est Service proclaimed Forest Protection Week, that began June 21, 1921 and closed June 28 (as this letter is being writ ten), from official records by Forest Supervisor C. E. Brown of the Rogue River National forest. Forest Protection Week was planned and promoted as a Boy Scout project, that they should have a vital In terest in their heritage ot the forests, both public and pri vate. It not only emphasized the need of public cooperation in protecting forests against destructive fires, but in the planting of trees, furnished by the forest service to the various Boy Scout troops. The Boy Scouts of Brewster, Wash., where my home and business was at that time, was newly organized and did not take part In the first year pro ject. But June 21, 1922, found them ready to go. one of the Scouts suggested that a small green tree be hoisted to the flag-pole top in city-center, with a pennant proclaim ing protection for It. My wife, overhearing the council dis cussion, suggested a green tree on a flag. This led to her ripping out a pillow casing, and a little conifer tree, cut out of some green cloth, bought by the Scouts' very limited cash reserves, was basted onto the pillow-casing flag. Words were also scis sored out by the Scout flag makers and basted on below the green tree that said: KEEP YOUR FORESTS GREEN." With proper ceremonies, the flag was raised to the flag-pole top and flown there until the 28th. Two of the Scouts living a half mile apart had learned to wig-wag messages to each other from their upstairs bedroom win dows with that kind of flag. As part of the program, It was suggested that someone pro pose a secret message. This was handed to one of the wig wagging Scouts and as peo- pie watched intently, the mes sage was flagged to his brotn- er Scout a few blocks to the west. Quite a cheer went up when two runners came fly ing back with a message matching the first one, pro claiming. "In God We Trust.' The following year, Rufus Woods, owner-publisher of the Wenatchee Dally World, wrote of the Scouts there doing the same, giving the Brewster Boy Scout troop full credit for first displaying the KeeD Your Forests Green message.

H hag been brainwashed by too many different politi cal factions, ne siaies mat vi-vihlna In Russia is owned and operated by the govern ment. Such a statement can only be inspired by ignorance nr malice. We can excuse mal ice, but Ignorance Is hardly excusable by anyone mat nnaea n a Htanenser of infor mollnn. Hour can a nerson nut up a valid argument when he is not a master of facts and a marshal of logic? Thara la nlnntv nf Hnfn and material available for Mr. Ol sen or any one else that cares fn raari anvthlncr other than anti-social propaganda, I am Menace not writing in defense of the Soviet Union or Socialism. They need no Justification. They justify themselves. So cialism throughout the world is taking top billing. Every newspaper that we read sub stantiates that statement. The powers that are trying to stop the clock are fighting a delay ing action. The United States is pouring billions of dollnrs down ratholes throughout the world to keep Socialism out of the ratholes. When Mr. Olsen talks about affairs in the United States he is on firmer ground. He can see the trend here toward government control, not knowing that the trend In Russia is away from govern ment and bureaucratic man agement. Mr. Olsen gags at a minor gift to Tito. There is nothing sinister about a birthday pres ent to a poor relation. But his tory is demonstrating that our government has been rather prodigal and perhaps unwise, shorcing up dictators through out the world from Spain to Formosa. A great deal of those dollars could be used devising benefits for the American people that are provided the the Russian people in their national constitution. Mr. Olsen seems a rather intelligent man and capable of clear thinking. It Is unfor tunate that he docs not take a broader outlook on life. He must note that Mr. Porter is engaged in politics, which is the tail of the economic cow and an instrument of the economic rulers of America. Therefore it behooves him to try to be diplomatic. Walter Recce Galicc rd. Merlin, Ore. Politics and Gradousness To the Editor: Our late Senator, Richard L. Neuberg er, undoubtedly would have valued the support of Oregon Republicans for his Senate bills to establish a United States Foreign Service acad emy. This bill, Senate Bill 730, was co-sponsored by several Democratic and Republican senators, and was introduced on Jan. 28, 1959. Later, in June of 1959, Sen ator Neuberger proposed a Senate resolution providing that missions abroad be head ed by career diplomats with "a useful knowledge of the principal language or dialect of the country In which they are to serve, and knowledge and understanding of the his tory, the culture, the econom ic and political institutions, and the interests of such coun try and Us people." (Senate Res. 138) Now, In this I960 campaign year, ex-Governor Elmo Smith presents the idea as something new and as his own in the "Pioneer Day" picnic at Brownsville (Mall Tribune June 20). It would have been gracious had ex-Governor Smith given his personal support to the Neuberger proposals In 1959; and it would have been help ful at that time for Editor Elmo Smith to have regis tered his support through the editorial columns of the Al bany Democrat Honild.

Today & Tomorrow By Walter Uppmann DISARMAMENT REAPPRAISED Once iiKiiln wc sec that progress in disarmament can follow, but it cannot precede, n detente, that Is relaxation of tension, After the U-2 and tlio col lupse of the summit mooting a breakdown In Geneva whs to be expected. Soviet-American relations hud suddenly be come much worse than they hud been ut tiny time since the death of Stalin, and there is not nearly enough good will to go on pretending that we are anywhere near u meet ing of minds on disarmament. Discussions like those at Ge neva about disarmament lire possible only when there is a general mid common feeling Unit relations are becoming more friendly, even If specific Issues have not yet been re solved. In the months before the heads of government were to meet In Paris in May, there was a hope, which originated in France, that Mr. K. would accept a tacit understanding to maintain the status quo in Germany, and to treat as prog ress at tile summit an agree ment on a nuclear test ban and some fresh instructions for the disarmament negotia tions. Tills hope was shat tered by the U-2 affair and all the consequences of . Mr. Khrushchev's rupture of per sonal relations with Mr. El senhower, Paris, Moscow, To kyo, and Geneva have been the stages of a chain reaction. VE MUST now expect a " long pause before the talks about disarmament ore resumed. In Itself this pause would be a good thing if it meant that in Washington the problem would be restudied. For there is good, reason to think that while the Soviet aim of total disarmament Is almost certainly impossible and also undesirable, our stereotyped principle of dis armament with inspection is almost certainly not practical and increasingly obsolescent. There is nothing we can do about the Soviet aim ex cept to say that if total dis armament could be achieved, the disorders in the world would probably be very great. But there is something wc can do about our own posi tion and that is to rc-thlnk it. This reconsideration will not take place before Junu ary. But it might take place after that. rpHE best available inlroduc- - tion to the question is in an article which has just ap- pcared in "Foreign Affairs. The article is by Mr. Henry A. Kissinger of Harvard Unl versity, and it is a penetrat ing criticism of the problem Matter of Fact a "TWO BIRDS IN THE BUSH" Washington- The Democrat ic pre-conventlon siluotlon's Intricacy and excitement arc clearly rcvcal e d by the p r o b lem of "two birds in the bus h." This is the name given to t h e political tangle In Culi f o r n I a by some of the more impa 40S tient adherents of Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. California's Gov. Pat Brown keeps saying that he Is "lean ing to Kennedy." If he topples over into the Kennedy camp, as he is almost certain to do In the end, he may carry more California delegates along with him later on than he could carry at this moment. But the Kennedy strategists would plainly prefer a bird in hand, in the form of Governor Brown's abandonment of his fovorite-son candidacy and open indorsement of the Mas sachusetts Senator. The reason for this prefer ence is in turn Indicated by a remarkable contrast. One part of the picture was pro vided by the able editor of the Oceanside "B 1 a d e-Trlb-unc," Thomns W. Bradcn, a friend of Governor Brown's who saw him just before he left for the Governors' con vention. AFTER hearing what Brown hod to say about his own intentions, Braden published tho news thnt Brown was "try ing to swing" as many Cali fornia delegates as he could Influence to Kennedy, Brown told Bradcn, In fact, that ho was certain there was no pos sibility of nominating Adlal Stevenson, whom many Coll- forninns prefer. Kennedy, he added, was the next choice. Therefore, ho sajd, ho meant to renounce his favorite son candidacy and help Kennedy In every way he could, thus "going first class" on tho Ken nedy bandwagon. There is no doubt at all that KPlf ALSO!' of Inspection and surprise at tack. From our point of view this problem is, of course, the heart of any disarmament negotiation, Our official doc trine has been that surprise attacks can bo prevented by Inspection - by "open skies" which would legalize aerial Inspection, or by the U-2 flights which wore Illegal and clandestine- Inspection, The crucial point, which has been raised by Mr. Kissinger and by others, Is that Inspection, aerial or even on the ground, belongs to an ago which Is past-to ono In which war is conducted by mobilizing arm ies and congregating bomb ers. In the missile age, the more perfected the inlssllo, the more Inolfectivo will bo any kind of inspection. For the essence of a perfected missile is that it is always ready to attack. Therefore In spection from the air or even on the ground cannot hope to show In advance whether the missile which Is ready will in fact be fired. To know Hint it would bo necessary to In spect not thu missile but tho intention of tho adversary. IT IS significant tliut the President's "open skies" proposal was mado In 1955, and he no doubt hoped thnt with aerial inspection the photographs would show the bombers lined up on tho air fields for a surprise attack. For in 1955 few in this coun try had as yet realized what would come of the missile. We aro only in the begin ning of the missile age. But we are far enough Into It to realize that inspection-even if the Soviet government would agree to It-Is not to be relied upon. The weapons that matter most, becuuso of their almost lnstuiil readiness, are unlnspectable. What. then, arc wc to rely upon? We have to rely upon what has now become the accepted doctrine of the Pcntagon-that is to soy, on developing a deter rent power that cannot be knocked out by a surprise at tack. This, and not inspection, is the way to reduce the ten sions which arc caused by the race in nuclear armaments. THIS will lead us to a posi tion where wc say to the Russinns: "On the critical is sue of the big lethal weap ons, let us both base our se curity on developing Invul nerable deterrents. Let this understanding that wc will do this be our agreement. Then let us negotiate about saving money by reducing other components of military power." (c) I960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. Joseph Alsop Governor Brown said Just what Bradcn reported. In the past fortnight, he has twice been on the verge of public ly abandoning his favorite son candidacy In Kennedy's fa vor; and he has twice been held back, though only with the greatest difficulty, by the contrary arguments of Sen. Clair Engel. Before leovlng for the Gov ernors' meeting ut Glacier Park, Brown even began to sound out Individual members of the California delegation, in preparation for a switch to Kennedy. But at Glacier Park - and here is the other side of the picture - Brown also told reporters that he still "ex pected" his name to be pre sented to the Democratic con vention as California's favor ite son. . THE RESULTING uncertain J- ty causes extra anxiety in the Kennedy camp because Kennedys real rival, ben Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, has begun to apply his incom parable legislative genius to the problem of stopping Ken nedy. The deft hand of John son could plainly be seen in a novel suggestion made at Gla cier Park by Gov. Lcroy Col lins of Florida. Governor Collins, who will be chairman of the Democratic convention, suggested thnt It might be better to go straight on to a second ballot, Instead of permitting massive changes of votes on the first ballot, Later, Governor Collins admit ted he "could not call to mind" any precedent for denying a delegation the opportunity to change Its vote during a Demo cratic convention rollcall, It will cause a major ruckus If the attempt is made, but ono enn see the way the wind is blowing. If Governor Collins follows his own suggestion, It will block Kennedy's effort to win nomination on the first ballot with votes switched from fa vorite sons. It will also force Kennedy to scrape up an ad ditional 20 or so votes some wnere, since ne is uuu iu lustM about this many In the Indiana In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS From Vienna: Soviet Prom lor Niklla Khrushchev flew into this Austrian capital with a mes- .siigo of friendship and peace ful co-exlstunco and was giv en the most Indifferent recep tion ho lias rocclvod on any visit to tho West, Khrushchev's visit to Vien na Is his first to the West since collapse of the summit talks, and Ills reception was chilly. The only appluuso came from hundfula of com munist militants carrying rod flags and there were very few of them. After his arrival downtown, he appeared on a balcony of the Impoiial Hotel, whore he made his headquarters, and received n cheer from u small organized group of commu nists. Someone) on the street shouted "phooey Khrushchev" and got a round of laughter and applause. riOMMENT? His break-up of the sum mit conference, along with his boorish and ill-bred at'acks on President Elsenhower, don't seem to have been very popular outside the Iron Cur tain. IF THAT is important, WHY is it important? It is Important because it is a straw in the wind Indi cating that communism is los ing the battle for men's minds. If communism loses the battle for men's minds, It's a goner. BUT enough of that. Let's get closer to homo. UP NO'TH In Salem, the Statesman says In an edi torial piece designed to point out Ihe difficulties of finding work for young people in these (lays: "The thousands of dlrt-anit-berry-stalned kids who drag themselves home from the harvest too tired to throw an other berry at one another command nut only our respect but our affection. Because the marks of toll lie heavily upon them, they receive tho praise. It's nbout time, however, someone said a word In com mendation of the patient par ents behind the pickers. "The parents of first-year pickers have a special prob lem. They must resist telling their offspring the financial result ot the berry-plcklng en terprise. Net receipts: $4.80 for threo days of picking be fore the tearful realization that It would bo best to wait until next year. Not cost: sun hat $1.98; sunburn lotion, 119 cents; new pair of Jeans, $3.98. "The final balance sheet thus reads: Addition to t h e child's bank account, $4.80; subtraction from parents' ac count, $8.95. Net DEFICIT from the family standpoint $2.15." T DOESN'T sound very prof itable, does it? But- When fall the shades of night, the parents have the comforting knowledge that their offspring, wearied by honest toll, are SAFE IN BED AT HOME instead of helling around out on the streets In search of SOMETHING TO DO to work off their surplus energy. If that comforting know! edge Isn't worth $2.15 to par ents earnestly seeking to bring their children up In the right way, then this modern world Is getting Itself Into a bad fix and other delegations which are only committed to him for the first ballot. FEAR OF the stop-Kennedy movement Is in fact the reason for the Kennedy force's longing for an Imme dlnte Brown indorsement and a maximum of California votes at the beginning of the first rollcall. But before con eluding that a stop-Kennedy movement Is likely to suc ceed, It Is also well to con sider the reasons for Gover nor Brown's seeming-uncertainties, ns given by those clos est to him. For the sake of appearances, as well as for obvious practi cal reasons, Governor Brown wants to swing the largest possible proportion of the California delegation when the time comes. He hopes that If he waits a Utile, moro and more of tho California enthu siasts for Adlal Stevenson will reach the conclusion that he has reached already, Tills is the conclusion that Stevenson has no real chance, and that the true choice lies between Kennedy and Johnson, The Slevensonltcs, Brown believes, will then choose Kennedy In stead of Johnson. The Brown analysis disclos es the Achilles heel of the stop-Kennedy movement. De spite nil Johnson's Immense abilities, he has not yet been able to convince the Demo crats of tho really big states thnt ho enn carry their stales. If and when they know thnt Kennedy and Johnson nro the only alternatives, they are therefore llkoly to pump for Kennedy in the end. (o) 1980 New York Horaia Tribune Inc. POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Does anyone else (ha save plaintively) find lime rushing by foster mid faster every year? Hare It Is, the July 4th week end, already. And It seems only u week ago thnt school was out, only a month ago that wo were making New Year's resolutions (long since forgotten), and only nbout six weeks ago that the 1959-UO school year was start ing. However that may be, summer certainly Is here, with a vengeance. With U comes vacation lime. And the first vacation to be tak en by a staff momber was by our young regional edl. lor. We've missed him, of course, but It HAS been sort of pleasant lo have a whole week go by without anyone referring to Great While Father. Next on the vaeutlon Hit are rotpourri and Photog rapher Dob. So, if all goes well, the two bright young men who aro working the vacation relief shift this summer will get their first taste (shudder) of writing women's page copy next week. Into each life some rain must full, men. Potpourri has been so busy rugged typo, plans to take hie family into the high coun try, far away from the mad ding crowd, for a back-pack camping trip. Potpurrl has been so busy writing weddings and talk ing to people that we haven't been able to get close enough to her this afternoon (Friday) to ask her plans, but she'll probably squirm Into Doll T, snd tootle away Into the countryside. Still on Ihe summer theme, we notice In our contemporary, the Grants Pass Courier, a largish mep labeled "Where to Go on Holiday Without Leaving County." This Is a com mendable "Stay In Jose phine County" sort of ef fort - which is only slight ly mitigated by the feet thai moie than one-third of the map shows attrac tions in Jackson county and (by some rether warped car tography) Klamath and Douglas e o u n ties. (The more we study the map, In cidentally, the more confus ed we become. It has Dia mond lake almost due north of Gold Hill and Crater Lake almost due north of Jacksonville. Oh, well. Ar tistic license, probably.) It's still summer - so we'll tell you about a young man on our staff who went fish ing on his day off last week, for the first time this season, This lad, using his head, figured out that the further from civilization he got, the bigger and hungrier the fish would be. So he drove SO miles and hiked five to get to his selected fishing spot. He brought back ono fish, eight inches long. Also sun burned feet, But, he claims, the fish was a fat one. Ho got to figuring up the costs of fishing, and It work ed to about 50 cents per Inch of fish - not counting gas, oil and wear and tear, both on the car and on reporter. A "BoUnce-O-Rua" has opened In Medford. This, we are told, Is where tramp olines are available for use, and we are also told that the sight of young people flying high Into the air la causing something of a traf fic hasard, Anyway, staff members dreamed up a con versation about It. No. 1 SMi "Do you sup pose they need a bouncer?" No. 2 SMi "Probably. They're all bounders," End of story, e Right on schedule. That Man In I'hncnlx came through again this week. Wc had an Item about the "Senate Rockets" committee, which caused him to comment that It was the group which set off all the fireworks. Well, tomorrow's the 4th, Flcteh, and while it's Illegal to shoot 'cm, we can still TALK about 'em. One of ihe Great Success Stories of Our Time Is thai of the adaptation of the Jap anese sandal io the Ameri can Way of Life. No one can settle on a tingle name for the gadgets, though. They're variously referred io at Zorroi (don't ask why) or Oo-Aheadt, or Just plain ihongt. Anyway, the guy thai saw their adaptability to the American market for summer ute mutt have as his theme tong "With a Thong in My Heart." According to the Oregon Journal, Oregon npporontly Is becoming a monarchy. , Anyway, last week they had a story which referred to "Gov. Mark Hatfield I." ,
