THE efficiency of the
amazing.
The same, obviously,
machine.
Whether or not this
is something no one can
haps, at this awesome point in history, we need a
leader who can be cold
and realistic and, if necessary, ruthless.
We would have preferred to see men of great
er humanity and sympathy and genuine under
standing leading the two parties into this No
vember s battle.
RUT, faced with a choice between two very
u similar men, one must make up his mind con
cerning them on the basis of their records, their
positions, and on the issues.
Extraneous issues undoubtedly will be much
in evidence between now and November, and
may indeed cany much weight with the voters in
making-their choice.
Family background, religion, relative wealth,
personal associates all these will be brought up,
discussed, mulled over.
But they are, essentially, extraneous to the
big decision which man will do a better job
of leading America, and of advancing her cause
in a turbulent and threatened world ; which man
has the character to mobilize the nation's forces
to do the things that need doing, and which man
has the broader and truer vision of what Amer
ica is and what it should be. E.A.

We don't have to worry about the health of
the Democratic candidates. Do we? Johnson's
supporters said Kennedy suffers from Addison's
disease, and Kennedy supporters point out John
son had a near-fatal heart attack a few years ago.
Maybe now they both wish they'd kept their
mouths shut. E.A.
The Task in Africa
The near-anarchy of the Congo today, and
the western world's essential inability to do very
much about it, quickly and directly, is a sort of
microcosmic view of the dilemmas of sub-Saharan
Africa as a whole.
It is obvious that the Congolese nation is not
yet ready for full self government. How could
it be? A colony for 80 years, it is reported to
have only a few residents who have a high school
level education, and even fewer with college.
It has no trained administrators, politician's,
teachers, professional people those who keep
the wheels of any organized society turning.
A ND yet, with the rest of Africa, the Congolese
desperately want freedom and independence,
without fully understanding that with freedom
goes responsibility; with independence goes a
self-control and self-restraint.
The same situation, to a greater or lesser ex
tent, is time in many other newly-free African
nations.
In some areas, notably those formerly under
British and French control, the native populace
has been given some a little training and ed
ucation, some preparation for freedom.
They didn't even have this chance in the
Congo.
A ND all the old bitternesses, hates, resentments
are now coming to the surface, after Beligum,
against her will but with as good a show of
grace as possible, turned the Congo loose.
How could it be expected that an uneducated
people, many of them not even literate, and many
still governed by tribal laws and tabus and super
stitions, would show responsibility and self re
straint? If any solution is to be achieved it must be
done through the United Nations. But no one
need expect an overnight solution, except per
haps in the immediate restoration of order.
The dilemma is this: Newly-freed people
must be restrained for their own and others' pro
tection; the illiterate must be taught, and quickly;
people passionate for freedom must be guided to
accept the responsibilities of freedom.
It is an awesome task. But the alternative is
chaos. E.A.

I.etteri to the Editor must bear the name and address ol the
writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen
name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail
Tribune reserves the light to edit all letters with a view to
clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for pub
lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in
this column do not necossarily represent the views of the
paper: in fact the contrary is often the case.
No 111 Effects?
To the Editor: I am boiling
mad again, because one of tne
neighbors told me we could
not sell our fruit or garden
produce or give It way be
cause the state has condemned
the vicinity where we live.
I am sure the siate sanitary
man would have informed all
the people to that effect, if
true.
The people that are taking
petitions around to annex us
to the city of Medford, arc-
scaring people half to death
telling them they would be
hauled into court if they did
not sign the petition.
Some people are just plain
fools, and believe it.
We have had a garden and
fruit since 1948 and have al
ways used irrigation water.
I always take off my shoes
and wade stocking footed
while irrigating.
I've seen children wading
in the ditches near my home
with no ill effects.
The water cannot be so bad,
as pictured.
Anyway, it is about time
the irrigation company cov
ered the ditches with tile as
they are unsightly and dan
gerous for small children fall
ing into them and drowning.
So Dear People, know the
person that is circulating the
petition. Asjt them their
name and address or better
still, go to Hobbs Texaco
Service Station on West Main.
He has both petitions down
there.
He is honest. You can trust
him. Sign your petition there,
and be safe. Do it, today,

Unreasonable Discipline
To the Editor: I would like
to commend the life guards at
Hawthorne Pool for taking
their jobs so seriously, or,
should I say, letting their au
thority go to their heads?
I think it's about time
someone spoke up for the
kids who frequent the pool.
Many of them receive laps
(walking around the pool 20
or 30 times) or are "kicked
out." What for? Splashing wa
ter! Isn't that part of swim
ming? I can certainly understand
them being reprimanded for
running or shoving, but not
for having a good time. That
is what the pool is for, isn't
it? There's little enough for
the youngsters of Medford to
do (certainly nothing that
doesn't cost at least 25 cents)
without having to put up with
life guards that apparently
enjoy "throwing their weight
around."
I've talked to several
youngsters who think the dis
cipline of the pool is quite
unreasonable and many of
them refuse even to swim
there because it's "no fun."
There are a lot of boys and
girls who do go to the pool
so maybe kicking a few of
them out doesn't make much
difference, but It does to the
ones who get kicked out and
after a while il gets a little
old.
I' think the life guards
there had belter lake another
look at their list of "duties"
and case up a little. Young
sters cooperate bettor If they
in turn arc shown a little co
operation. They also respect
authority as long as those
having it do not abu.se it by
using it so often il no longer
is a form of discipline but is
a common occurrence.

Menace
Kennedy's Religion
To the Editor: The nomi
nation of John Kennedy as
Democratic presidential can
didate could mean the end of
religious liberty in America.
While any man has a right to
his own religion, I feel that I
have just as much right to
defend myself from a church
system which would destroy
me if necessary for refusing
to acknowledge its power.
This is what Catholics do to
day, 1960. where they have
power in Spain and through
out Latin America. The rec
ord is readily available to any
who care to read. .
Senator Kennedy is not a
free moral agent. He sur
rendered his conscience to
the Catholic church, and must
follow its priests on questions
where the church takes sides.
The penalty for refusal is
excommunication. This sup
posedly would damn him to
everlasting hell. Through con
fession, the Catholic church
can control Senator Kennedy
on any issue it chooses to
stand on.
Rome's first interest is to
unite all churches under the
Pope. The World Council of
Churches now is considering
such an invitation from the
present Pope. This probably
will go on faster now. Those
evangelical, funda mental,
Bible-believing Christians are
heretics. Liberal Protestants
and Catholics believe society
would be better without them.
A world super church would
soon eliminate them.
If these "heretics" are right
to trust God to save them,
He will. Soon Christ will
come to take us Home.

Editor's note: The Mall
Tribune is not going to en
courage a public debate in the
"Communications" column on
the subject of religion in poli
tics. But it undoubtedly will
be discussed during the com
ing campaign, and temperate,
thoughtful letters on the sub
ject will be printed, so long
as they bring up matters of
substance, and are not repe
titious rehashes of old
charges.
In light of the letter print
ed above, Senator Kennedy's
public statements on the sub
ject are pertinent:
On Feb. 18, 1959, he said,
"Whatever one's religion In
his private life, for the office
holder nothing takes prece
dence over his oath to uphold
the Constitution and all its
parts Including the First
Amendment and the strict
separation of church and stale
. . . I believe . . , that the
separation of church and state
is fundamental to our Ameri
can concept and heritage . . ."
On April 21, 1960, he said,
"There is only one legitimate
question underlying all the
rest: would you, as President
of the United Slates, be re
sponsive in any way to ec
clesiastical pressures or obli
gations of any kind that might
in any fashion Influence or
interfere with your conduct
of that office in the national
Interest? I have answered that
many times. My answer was
- and Is - 'NO'."

THE QUIET DEMOCRATS
For a Democratic conven
tion this one is, as of Tues
day morning, exceptionally
quiet and undramutic. Where
is Armageddon? Where are
the ideologi
cal c 1 a s h cs,
tho sertlnmil
conflicts, and
duels which
have so regu
larly in the
past made the
D c m o c ratic
n n ,i linn linn
Walttr J .
Liopmimi such a great
show? For the old timers
there is something missing,
and presumably therefore
there must be something
wrong, especially In view of
the fact that the convention
is nominating a controversial
young man in a time of world
wide turbulence.
What Is the explanation of
this unusual puzzling harm
ony? There are those who ex
plain it by the devil theory
of politics. In the devil theory
everything you do not like Is
due to the sinister machina
tions of a hidden conspiracy,
be it the Communists, the
Catholics, the Masons, the
Jews, the Wall Street bank
ers, the United Nations, or
Waller Reuthcr. For the devil
theorists anything they arc
opposed to must have been
plotted, paid for, and carried
out by an enemy. The whole
history of man is one long
unceasing battle with con
spiracies engineered by the
devil and his agents.
For those who see life In
this way the absence of con
flict at Los Angeles means,
can only mean, that the con
vention has been rigged, that
the delegates have been
bought, bullied, and seduced
by young Kennedy and his
father's money. The result,
they .say, is a prclcr-naturally
quiet convention.
- .
rro reject this view is not to
forget that the Kennedy
campaign has been rough,
and to suppose thai he ha
collected his delegates by
nothing but polite persuasion
and the unanswerable brief
ing of the professors from
Harvard and tho Massachu
setts Institute of Technology.
The Kennedy tactics to push
aside his rivals have been
rough but they have been the
normal tactics when the game
of politics Is played lo win.
The Kennedy tactics do not
differ from the tactics Nixon
has used to push aside Rocke
feller. It would be naive to
suppose that money and its
equivalent In the promise of
favors lo come Is not used in
the game of politics.
But these tactics have al
ways been employed when
there was a real contest be
cause the succession was
open. Johnson la no mean

mm
Choice of
bed follows. Tho political
fuels of tills Detnoi'i'iillc Nu
tiouiil convention included
these:
- The Southern .states were
sorely itfft'onled by the par
ly platform.
- Organized labor, Negro
spokesmen and the Democrat
ic left wing pronounced the
platform n good one.
- Some Negroes c.iUel II
the best ever,
- A platform which cm
forms lo the political Id -as
of Negroes, organized labor
and 'the Democratic left wing
died, so lo say, it n a t u r a
death. Now the remains of
this doctrine should be burled
To which White House Press
Secretary James C. llagerty
had this succinct reply:
"That's what he thinks."
. Not for 50 years had the
Monroe D.n .rine boon so dl
roctly uttac' od and not for
more than 100 years hud
foroli'n iwor so directly clinl-
long;l It.
It wis a coincidence that
the Monroe Doctrine evolved
rln riiiy another period of
sir:!ti with Russia.
C.anst Russia then was rx-
tendlng her settlements south
ward from Alaska, and by im
perial order sought to bun
navigation and fishing within
1110 miles of North America's
northwest coast.
Monroe's message to Con
gress was a denunciation of
the Czar's order and a warn
ing to other European powers
against any attack on the newly-independent
nations of Lat
in America.
While the doctrine never
ws written Into law, its spirit
was contained in three Inler
Amerlcan treaties - the fllo
Treaty of 1 047, the Bogota
Charter of 1048 setting up the
lippmann
tractician hlinsolf, and he cer
tainly does nol lack money.
The rigging theory docs not
explain the quiet of this con
vention. ffUlE explanation, I venture
- to think, must begin uv
recognizing that I960 i.iin.i
the passing of the old politi
cal generation and the appear
ance of the new. With Eisen
hower and Truman the gener
ation of the wor leaders is
retired, and the generation of
those who were in the war
but too young to command -Kennedy
and Nixon-are tak
ing over.
The harmony at Los Ange
les about Kennedy can best
be explained by looking at
the part played by Adlal
Stevenson. He is, one might
say, a younger member of the
older generation. It was his
refusal to enter a combina
tion to block Kennedy, and
not the rigging of the con
vention, which brought about
the stampede to Kennedy.
The comparative harmony
on issues, which have in the
post divided the party irre
concilably, is due, I believe, lo
the passage of time. The party
has not settled all Us Issues.
But II has outgrown them lo
a point where, especially In
tho field of civil rights, there
has been an enormous change
of feeling in the younger gen
eration. Above all, in place of
the old issues there are new
ones-revolving around the
problem of national power
and of public necd-whlch are
much more inleresting.
This shift of Interest is a
national, not at all a merely
partisan, Democratic phenom
enon. It is manifest in the
Rockefeller insurgency which
has inside the Republic.'! -i
parly fur more sympathi. -n,
than it now has avowed sup
porters. All in all then, the Demo
crats feel, perhaps rightly,
that they are riding Hie wave
of Ihe future.
