In the early days of the Massachusetts col ony, particularly in Salem, all the ills of the time were blamed on witches and their master, the Devil. Since that time the guilty label has been pasted on a wide variety of scape-goats, with varying degrees of logic. IN time of war, it is always easy and profitable wrong, from military reverses (logical) to blight ed crops (illogical up .But at other times the They have been held international conspiracy economy and governments. The Catholics have had their share ot being blamed, too, for everything that goes wrong. (And with Senator Kennedy, a Catholic, as a good possibility for President, the mailings usually anonymous about the so-called Catholic i. i i j. i. j l- I.- conspiracy nave aireauv DIGHT now, of course, Thev are blamed for things for which they to blame; and things which they couidn t possibly have had anything to do with. But the devil theorv makes thincrs so easv. No thought is required ; no probing for the truth, for probable causes, for the real reasons. If you re opposed to to do is blame it on the blankety-blank commies even such things as the "plot" to fluoridate the drinking water of Americans,, for heaven's sake. VES, as a substitute for rmr id o rrrrH nna But it is dangerous, REAL reasons why things sometimes go awry. and when the REAL reasons are unknown or ig nored, it is difficult' if not impossible to find the needed solutions. Gettiner at the truth of a comrilex situation is never easy, and sometimes is well-nigh impos sible. That is why some people throw up their hands and blame the whole thing on some real or imagined enemy. ("NE small example: When the riots in President Eisenhower's celled, it was popularly blamed on a small, hard core group of communists." Now there is undoubtedly some truth in this. But is it the whole truth? The same "small, hard-core group of com munists" has, for years, been trying to spark riots and demonstrations in .Tannn Rut. nevpr hpfnrp and not since have they on that one occasion when the President s im pending visit dramatized the presence of U. S. bases in Japan, the U-2 incident, the summit fail ure, and prevailing unrest. IN other words, the "devil" was present all right. But he could not have succeeded alone, and without a combination of other circumstances to create the unfortunate situation which faced the American President. Similarly, it is easy to blame the current un happy state of affairs in Cuba exclusively on the communists. Again, there is no doubt but what the communists are doing all they can to capitalize on the situation, and probably to take over completely. But this devir theory of what is happening in Cuba ignores the very real feeling of resentment at Batista's many years of dictatorship, as well as against the "Colossus of the North. Things are seldom as simple as they seem. And when someone tries to blame something on the fellow next door, or "city hall," or the com munists or Jews or Catholics, watch out. He's really blaming the "devil," and chances are he doesn't want, or can't get at, the complex truth. E. A. Kennedy s Speech Whether or not one agrees with its message, it is difficult to dismiss Tightly the nomination acceptance speech of Sen. John F. Kennedy in Los Angeles last Friday night. After all the dreary oratory, his talk was fresh and bright. After thousands of words of generalities, his was specific or as specific as ii is jjusBioie lor a poiiucai iigure w De. And. after all the nromisine' of rosv nromises. his talk was refreshing in Dut caned ior America to do much. THIS is a young man who knows just where he wants to go. and how he nlans to get there. and wnat he's going to do when he arrives. He combines toughness with knowledcreabil- ity; tight organizational ability with a skill at public appeal ; a philosophical base of operations with a well-plotted path and a firmly-defined goal. It remains to be seen the challenges of "The come as memorable as Deal" or HST's for a "Fair Deal." But in demoting the doing no more than telling the truth in calling at tention to. the fact that the world of science and technology and snace. of PYnlnrlinrr nnnnlntinns and world-wide misery and unrest, of the H bomb and fallout and intercontinental missiles, is an actuality and must be faced.

There are so many people in Amer ica that cannot afford to go to the seashore, to say nothing about crossing, the ocean. As I have crossed both oceans and both continents on my own steam I would like it if there was a fund provided whereby I could travel re laxed. Now if Mr. Young will beat the tub, long and loud unnnch he micllt stimulate enough interest in such an enterprise whereby a person would not need to be a mil lionaire or an exchange stu dent to visit distant lands.

Cougars To the Editor: There was a uolrl miner of French de cent that did considerable tunnel work on old Fielder mountain during 1913. The old hard rock miner was "stnne deaf" and his compan ion was a rather small part blood-hound watchdog mat nuite often chased a cougar up a tree along the trail on their hike home every week end. The old timer never car ried "a shooting iron" so far as ever was known, wny nou It probably never occurred to him as a safety measure. A cougar bounty in those days amounted to something less than is paid by the stale at present, also each county paid a share of the bounty. We chanced to see a cougar's hlrle.awav den in a cliff of rocks overlooking the Big Ap plegate river around that same year. The old mountain men told me at that time that all the cougars have a certain place where they used the same crossing of the river. In nil of mv launts in the Kogue river mountains for 15 years, I only heard the scream of a cougar once, and seemed line ail the covotes for miles around followed suit In howl- inu that cold foacv day. we shall never forget the chorus. Bert Kissinger, 520 Boardman st. Medford Conventions To the Editor: The Consti tution does not mention the procedures now called party conventions. Washington and old John Adams got in with out the intervention of parti san groups. These conventions Just "grew up" like little Top sy, or, shall we say, like a bad habit. Any prominent public per sonality, by mere petition, can file for the presidency. His prestige may mean more than the "support" of a so-called organized party.

Walter Gabriel Howells, Nebr. Alohal To the Editor: I read about how the Republicans had an Hawaiian luau Friday to hear one Senator Scott from Penn sylvania tell them how bad we Democrats are. Being a mcat-and-potatoes man, I miss ed the banquet, and evidently a lot of rough talk that calls for an answer.

Inter-Faith Meeting To the Editor: The M.T.'s position toward the religious issue in the candidacy of Sen ator John F. Kennedy for president has once again been made clear by the editorial note appended to Mr. Bailey's correspondence. Since the editor feels the Important consideration is Senator Ken nedy's affirmation that he Is free from any ecclesiastical pressures which might In fluence his official actions, I would like to focus attention upon this affirmation in the light of his past record. Let me cite one example. In the fall of 1950, in Philadel phia, a banquet was held to conclude the financial cam paign for the erecllon of a chapel honoring the four chaplains (of three faiths) who went down with their ship, giving their life preservers that four other men might live. The toastmaster for the banquet was former Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Rob erts; the spncinl speakers were U, S. Senator Herbert H, Leh mnn (Jewish Falthl. Mnvnr M Cincinnati, Charles P, Taft irrotestant Faith), and Con gressman John F. Kennedy (Roman Catholic Faith), Two days before the ban quet Mr. Kennedy made a telephone call to Daniel Pol lnff cancelll ncf his annnnrflnrn I Mr. Poling, In his book "Mine Eyes Have Seen" (pp, 258, 257), describes the conversa- tlon thus: "His KmlnnneA Par. dlnal Dennis Dougherty of I'linaaoiphia had requested him not to speak at the ban quet and not to appear.

As soon us I arrived here from the Dem ocratic nation al convention in Los Ange les, I took out my sketch Dick w.st paci ana oe- g a n drawing comparisons. This Is an art at which I nm more prolific than Plcusso. The first thing one notices, provided one is not wearing nose plugs, is the faint rural aroma that pervades the re gion where the Hepublicun convention hall Is located. 1 call it a "taint" aromn be cause I almost fainted the first time I Inhaled it. I suppose Hint Agriculture Sccrctnry Ezra T. Benson will feel right at home when the GOP convention sessions be gin next week ut the Stock yard Amphitheater. But for the rest of us, it will tnke some getting used to. Therefore, the first com parison 1 drew was between the smog that smirched the Democratic air In Los Ange les and the fertilizer frag rance that awaits the Repub licans here. Compares Tratflc Jam I would call it a toss-up, the choice depending on whe ther one would rnther hnve inflammation of the eye or neuritis of the nostril. As for me, I'm only glad they don't happen simultaneously. On the second page of my sketch book, I drew a com parison between the Chicago and Los Angeles traffic Jams, using as a model the elapsed time between the cities and their airports. It took something over three hours to get from the west coast to Chicago's O'liare airport, and then it took whelmed by my disappoint ment, I reminded Mr. Ken nedy that the banquet was a civic occasion, that all the faiths were participating, and that we were meeting not in a Protestant church, but on neu tral ground in a hotel. The congressman replied that he understood all this and that he had done everything he could to change the cardinal's position. His speech was pre pared, he said, and he would gladly forward It to me, but as a loyal son of the Churcn, he had no alternative but not to come." In spite of Senator Ken nedy's denials, the undeniable fact is that authority over an individual remains implicit In the Roman Catholic Church, and at lenst once this authori ty has been exercised over John F. Kennedy while he held a high public office, I will not support and will urge others not to support, for the office In which one indi vidual controls one third of the U.

Editor's note: Congressional Quarterly, In its biography of Kennedy, says the following concerning the Incident men tioned in the -letter above: In late 1059, Dr. Daniel A. Poling, a defeated Republican candidate for Philadelphia mayor In 1051, said Kennedy had withdrawn (rom an ap pearance at a 1050 Inter-fnllh meeting at the Insistence of Catholic leaders. Kennedy Jan. 14, 1060 said the fnels were accurate but the con clusions drawn from them were not, He said he had been asked to the ceremony, not ns Member of Congress or ns an individual, but "as the offi cial representative of a re 1 1 g 1 o u s organization," He learned after accepting the Invitation, he sold, that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, for religious reasons, was un able to support the meeting. Therefore, Kennedy said, "I felt I had no credentials to at tend In the capacity in which I had been asked."

Finally, I got around to comparing the GOP and Dem ocratic campaign headquar ters, which was rather diffi cult because they nre beyond compare.

The historic domination of the Democrat ic party by the stnto gov fllllsm WltlM ernors has drawn to Its close, ns has just been shown In Los Angeles. The congressional wing of the pnrty has come Into Its own. The realities ot the mod ern world, which see even the most powerful of gov ernors dealing with dull things like thruway tolls, have ended the old final au thority of the statehouse. The Senate of the United States has now become the place where presidential can didates nre bred. This is be cause Senators deal directly with the great natlonnl and International problems that cannot come under a gov ernor's control. LOOK at the proof. The man shortly to be nominated by the Republicans for Presi dent, Vice-President Richard Nixon, never served In any governor's mansion. He open hls career by being elected to the House of Representatives Ho went from there to the Senate and from there to the vice-presidency. The Democratic president ial nominee, Sen. John F Kenedy, also started his pub lic life in the House In the snme year, 104B, which sent Nixon there. Kennedy, too, went from the House to the Senate. His running mate, Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, Is nlso nn old House man who later beenme a Senate man nnd the powerful Democratic Senate leader. The governors can still help make presidential candidates, us they did with Kennedy In the Democratic convention. But they no longer are them selves really "avnllnblc for this top nomlnntlon. The world hns chnnged and this country has changed. FROM the time of Frnnklln D. Roosevelt, the stntcs and thus their chief execu tives hnvo been Increasingly secondary In the natlonnl lifo. Their old control of local polltlcnl Jobs remains, In most cases. But they have become essentially local men, because the federal government In creasingly directs the lives of all the people and bccaiiso it alone directs the world con test with International Com munism.

Incidentally, while I was visiting Iho Rockefeller head qunrtors I overhenrd this re murk: "I don't know what I'm doing but I'll be glad to do It."

He Is still very much alive In spite of tho notion, so happily put for ward by some, thut Kennedy's triumph In Los Angeles was a triumph for clean - limbed American youth over the bad old pros. 'PHIS Is an appealing Idea, but it Is nlso nonsense. Tho men who at Los Angeles really nominated Kennedy wore fnr from young. Tnke Gov. Dnvld Lnwrcnco of Pennsylvania as the most slg nlflcnnt of them. He is In his 60s, and so are most of the others who caused the se lection of Kennedy. So the theory that this Is a new era of gcc-whlz kids Is as superficial ns It Is easy to put In sentimental terms.
