Portlanders should pull their noses out of the roses long enough to take a hard look at the hurdles put in the path of a Negro family seeking a dream horife in the east suburbs. The state labor commissioner found that two real estate firms discriminated against the family in its efforts to find a home. He ordered the com panies to offer the Negroes comparable property. . A FEDERAL judge permanently enjoined a "water district from attempts to condemn a second site, upon which the Negroes had started building. With these two barriers behind them, it look ed as though the family was running strong. Then someone put their dream home to the torch. They're not scratched yet, for they plan to repair the fire damage and live in their house. But with such a background, what does the future hold? Our forebears said our nation was dedi cated to the proposition that all men are created equal. This bears repeating. Portland Reporter. Successful City Planning A four-point formula for successful city plan ning has beeri issued by perhaps the best known city and state civil servant in the nation. Robert Moses of New York, who holds a dozen jobs in the city and state governments all having to do with improving the locale for living, bases his formula on what he has learned in his various posts. It is simply this : First, adopt limited, realiz able objectives; second, announce a single spec tacular, appealing theme ; third, obtain coopera tion on a realistic schedule: fourth, go to work with indifference to carping criticism and ob struction. With this formula, Moses has built some of the world's greatest parks, bridges, tunnels and thoroughfares. He is leaving it all now to run the 1964 World s Fair. He can afford to give away his secrets. City planners, here and everywhere would profit by following them. Corvallis Gazette-Times. .- ... New Twist to IQ Twenty-five years of research at Whittier College have confirmed what educators have long suspected that IQ (intelligence quotient) is not the measure of native learning ability it some times is purported to be. When a child is tagged with an IQ, there is a tendency to judge his potential capabilities by that tag. The Educationally Advanced program in the Salem schools as well as the others through out the state determine largely by means of IQ The IQ rating is a necessary device for the administration of such programs, but that doesn't mean it is infallible, or THE Whittier testing rating can be raised as much as 32 points through intensive training of the individual. After subjecting 280 students to a "logic-developing" program for eight months, the college found it had increased their average IQ by over 10 points. This research raises a basic issue. How much of the "gifted" child's herited brain capacity and how much to unusual training and exposure to logic-developing pro cesses. To educators and the public at large, the Whittier story should mean two things. IQ ratings should not be used to stamp a "capability quota" indelibly on a child. If tests are to be used at all, they should be used frequently enough to show any marked improvement in children s "native"' ability. Oregon Statesman, Salem. Try and -By BENNETT CERF- AN AGENT LED a dachshund into a night club for an audition, and the pooch obeyed by rendering Old Black Maoic and All of You in a throaty but highly effective baritone.

"He thinks he sounds like Perry Como."1 From a note written by an honest, literate and semi starving bookseller: "To write books is easy: It re quires only paper and pen, or a typewriter; To print books Is a little more difficult, To read books Is harder still, be cause of tha tendency to fall asleep.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right 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 necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is Fireweed To the Editor: "Fireweed" Is one of the folknames of a showy wild epilobium. An other name is "willow herb." It is not a true willow. Wil low leaves are so true to form pioneers gave that name to any plant with long, narrow leaves. Thus "buttonwillow," an other willowleaf shaped plant, grows along sloughs of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Val leys. It belongs to the Mad der family. One buttonwillow cousin is the plant that gives a valued permanent dye, Turkey Red." This is the pigment first used on bandana handkerchiefs. These bright red kerchiefs were prized fab rics in Hindustan for centuries before the Crusaders brought them back to be imitated in Venice and Genoa. Fireweed may have a dou ble reason for such a name. It not only is fiery red but often it Is the first plant .to mass its color on forestflre burned areas. Fireweed is but one of several epilobiums native to California. One, folknamed "Rockfringe," is Sierran. When, after World War I, we and our party hiked from Tahoe to Yose mite, we had to depend upon powdered milk, powdered eggs, dehydrated vegetables. A marmot mulligan plus a salad of rockfringe leaves was a welcome change from our condensed food meals. Fireweed's seeds have silk en sails. We found the Tlin gits in Totem Pole Land laboriously gathering this tex tile. They interwove it with hair of dog, also wild moun tain goat wool, to make their unique blankets. Two of these were on the grave, near his ilahee. of Chief Jake Saginaw. His mourners seemed certain such a good man was in no danger of hell fire. They therefore gave him a double blanket supply in case Heaven was at times chilly. C. M. Goethe 3731 Tea st. Sacramento 16, Calif. Word From Florida To the Editor: I was pleased to receive a clipping taken from your May 25, 1960, is sue entitled: "Fort Lauder dale, Fla., Said Changing to Year-Round Spot. This was sent to me by my sisters who are your subscrib ers by the name of Mrs. Eliza beth Hawkins and Mrs. Cora E. Doney of 1883 Cunningham st Medford. While the facts in the clip ping are true, the other fact still is true that Central Flor ida with Orlando and its whole area is being industri alized with many missile and electronic firms, along with their related industries, mov ing into this area. Probably the main reason Is The Martin Corp, is based here, thus bringing in many other firms who make compo nent parts for them (different kinds of missiles). I, myself, like your city, as I was a guest there back through the years when I brought my elderly mother to live there with Mr. and Mrs, Fred Hawkins, and as I un derstand it, judging by the frequent news I receive from my sisters, your fine city Is growing tremendously. I find by checking the ac tual figures that Central Flor ida is enjoying year round tourist travel - in fnct, as many are coming Into Florida during the summer as they do during the so-called winter time, which of course levels off our year round financial picture.

Golly To the Editor: Golly. What's gone wrong with careful, vet eran writer Walter Lipp mann? Not wanting at all to be guilty of lese-majeste, it does appear to my brand of reading of the printed word, that includes betwlx the lines In the Lippmann column of Thursday's Mall Tribune (July 14, 1960, be it historically re corded) he, writer Lippmann, shows evident signs of snap judgment. Snap-judgment is quite all right if one feels confident and secure way out on a wav ering, cracky limb. In his Thursday M-T col umn, Lippmann admits to one interview with Democratic nominee John Kennedy. Bar ring veteran foreign traveler Stevenson, who seemed quite relieved at not having to lace on his for-president running shoes, Lippmann is of the firm opinion that smiling and so naively appearing youthful John Kennedy Is the one and only presidential possibility for piloting the U. S. A. shlp- of-state into and safely through the treacherous wa ters of foreign affairs. But why does Lippmann have to take an obviously un fair dig at Vice President Nix on when he, Lippmann, re marks that untried Kennedy would not have to resort to "sassing" back wlley Premier Krushchev? Evidently, Lipp mann is referring to the barb ed verbal exchange between Nixon and Khrushchev in the U. S. kitchen of the Moscow promoted industrial fair. To Khrushchev's crude and rude attempt to reduce the U. S. A. vice president to something less firm than a dish of jello, Nixon did not sass back the Russian head hatchet-man. Nixon, his usual fair and friendly self, replied in suave diplomatic wording that set the blustering Khrushchev back on his haunches with smothered audience twittering that had been meant for Nix on. It seems so strange that Lippmann would want to be little a tried and proven bird in the hand for a barely feath ered-out one, even if paired with one with some degree of foreign affairs contacts. Has Walter Lippman forgot ten that trip of Nixon s to Far East North Viet Nam, where the vice president left his wife Pat and party at the enemy boundary-line and all alone strode to their machine-gun ned emplacement to shake hands with the nonplussed pinkoed enemy, to shake hands with them and assure them of the U. S. A. goodwill to all world's people It just so happened that Nixon was not shot down as his party fearfully expected. Lot Lipp- man's Kennedy match this for diplomatic courage. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore, Chivalry Still With Us To the Editor: The other day while driving alone on a rather desolate mountain road, I had the misfortune to have the first blow-out In my 30 years of driving.

Now I was no "sweet young thing" with a flashy sports job - nor was I a helpless lit tle white-haired old lnily - just a lone woman in distress and these Knights of the Rond couldn't have looked better to me if they'd been Clark Gable, John Wayne and James Stewart. (That really dates me, doesn't It?) There I was, surrounded by the Big Grey Monsters, with not one, but THREE courteous drivers offering assistance. In a mat ter of minutes the tire had been changed and I was ready to be on my way. Of course, I thanked them for stopping, but gentlemen, please accept this public thanks for your thoughtful ncss and help. Mrs. Alfred Gallacci 4297 Table Rock rd. Medford. P.S.-Lady, take your hus band with you, NOW, out to the car and have him refresh your memory on how to use a jack and change a tire! This could happen to you and you might not be as fortunate as I, to have three empty "Special" Greyhound buses so near at hand, with such courteous drivers willing to lend a helping hand. Floyd on The Warpath To the Editor: In lightor vein: Old Henry was the best old crate ever constructed in the United States but like most people, he is getting old. If allowed to, I'm sure he'd (or is it Henrietta) vote for some decent roads; and a parta policy from Ford some what resembling that of Cat erpillar, which is "No Or phans," that Is to say, "You can always buy parts for our products." It Is getting quite difficult to get parts for old Henry. In fact a short time ago I had to marry the old rig to a. Ply mouth when I broke the drive line jackshaft. Now, for serious matters. The Mall Tribune failed to print ALL the results of the primary election, I got credit for one vote for county com clssionor In Jackson county. but I know darned well I got six in Butte Falls and have been told of several votes In the Eagle Point and Medford areas. Of course when I, In a joking way, let it be known that I was a candidate (? ? 7) by means of a letter to the editor of the Mall Tribune, I did not at any time expect a single vote and was pleasant ly surprised to find I got a few. All jokes aside, I could do a better Job as county com missioner than Paul Rynning did do as county engineer and surveyor. In my years In the Butte Falls area, I never knew of, nor even heard of, an in stance whereby Mr, Rynning ran out a section line, set a section or quarter corner post or other marker, nor marked a new bearing tree to replace one destroyed by fire, Insects or other hazards. Yet I understand he drew pay for a goodly number of years for doing so, Why? Did ho have too much to do? If so, why didn't ho resign the post? Why did he run for the posi tion every four years? Also I think there have been several cases whore his engineering results were somewhat deficient. Let's start a good war over this situation, Besides I'm de claring my opposition to any candidate over 66 years of age. Floyd H. McCabe Ml. Pitt Star rt. Butte) Falls, Ore. rosentallves.

For mer President Trumuii once balked lit revisiting tho Sen ate chamber until assured that In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS 1 suppose everyone In Southern Oregon and Far Northern California has heard of the Wlnnemuccn-to-thc-Sca highway. Here In this glamor out sector of the glamorous State of Jefferson It is a dream of ours. Ono might truthfully term It a golden dream because It promises In creasing showers of tourist gold. Gold Interests us. Our earli est economy was founded on gold. Back in those days we dug our gold out of the ledges In tho hills und the riffles of the streams. There Is still gold In our hills and our streams, but since FDR pegged the price at $35 an ounce It has cost more to get It out of the ground Uinn we can sell it for. We now find It more profit able to dig gold out ot the tourists. WHIS yield of tourist gold Is JL not Inslimiflcant in our modern economy. Lost year, according to the best figures available, somewhat more than a million tourist cars, both northbound and south bound, traveled across South ern Oregon and Far Northern California, Shnrp - pencil figuring re veals that they spent an aver age of about $21 per cur per dny. Unfortunately, they were in a hurry to get somewhere else, so they spent on average of only about one day In our region, but even at that the cash they left with us totaled up to a little In excess of 20 million dollars. THAT Isn't chicken feed. And - It suggests this glamorous thought: If we could bring TWO million tourist cars Into our area, even if they still spent only one day with us, it would add 40 million dollars to our economy. And If wo could In duce them to spend TWO days with us, instead of only one, it would add 80 million dol lars to our economy. Thai's where the Wlnnc-mucca-to-the-Sca highway comes in. 1IHY WINNEMUCCA lo the " sea? If you'll get out your No vnda map - or, even better, your 11 Western States mop- you will note that at Wlnnc mucca Highway 40, one of the greatest of the great cast-west routes, bends sharply to the south. Thus It lends the gold bearing tourist AWAY from our area instead of Into it This Wlnnemucca TO THE SEA route could change all that, It could lend these gold- laden tourists INTO our re gion, Instead of awny from It Thot would be nice. rpHIS Wlnnemucca-to-llie-Scn highway has a wide ap peal In our enchanted region. By closing up a few remaining gaps west of Wlnnemucca, It could lead Ihe tourist wost ward across the Cascades by way of the soon-to-be-complot- ed Diamond Lnke-North Ump qua highway into tho pleasant valleys of the Umpqua and on lo the sea at Rcodsport and Gardiner, It could go on to Coos Bay by Slnte Highway 42. From tho lovoly valley of the Rogue - soon lo be reach ed from Ihe Klamath Bnsln by a much belter route - It could lead the tourist strenm on by way of the Redwood high way to the benches nt Crescent C ly.
