According to the attorney for tho transferred area, tills lust ruld Is bused on the need to get 03 children out of district composed of "militant aliens" (foreigners) who arc not socially equal to the 63 children. I wonder by what strange undemocratic reason ing this self-appointed expert on the caste system deter mines that the residents of Phoenix ore "aliens" and dangerous to tlio social well being of these 03 children. Little Is mentioned about whother the children are get ting a good education In Phoe nix. This la very prohnbly because, according to South ern Oregon college, students comlt.g from Phoenix, got bet ter grades than those from Medford. We cannot expand because w are now surrounded by Ashland and Medford. It is time, it Is past tlmo, for slop ping the plecemenl digestion of the Phoenix School district, which this same Reorganiza tion committee presumably established as a permanent district. M. E.

Kennedy for presi dent, because of, rnthcr than despite, the fact that he Is a Catholic, I have received a surprising amount of mail from Medford residents who take violent exception to my remnrks. I do not feel that we need fenr hovlng a Catholic ns president, especlnlly Kennedy who, I nm confident, would moke a good American presi dent. Ills chief advisers, by the way, arc Adlnl Stevenson nnd Chester Bowles, both non Cnthollcs. The Catholics are a minority In this country and It Is ex tremely unlikely that they will dominate Congress or the Supreme Court, Since foreign affairs are among our chief problems, Kennedy's election would have a terrific impact for good on our South Ameri can cousins. It would also be n stunning blow to Com munist propagandists every where. When a predominantly Protestant slate like West Vir ginia gives Catholic Kennedy an overwhelming majority In r -Tins i -mn 'in -wT -na s - rm ir lesMt4(ai.n-ifci nm riiii h a I- wy m mm mm mm m nmaamieii s., fsitM : asoeeueaaBBaBaiMoasMeoaoeHioaaoai - tmfrmmmiyiumm km A fV ; toi- M In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Politics: Nelson Rockefeller and Richard Nixon "meet In se cret" at Mr. Rockefeller's home In New York City. The only other person present, re portedly, was Mr. Rockefel ler's press secretary, Robert McManus. Mr. Nixon flew In from Washington for the moot ing and the talks began at 7:30 Friday evening and last ed until 3:20 a.m. on Satur day. As thn two men talked, over the hours, they consulted from time to time with mem bers of the Republican plat form committee. At the conclusion of the talks, Mr. Nixon flew back to Washington, TN Ithi A statement Issued after the meeting, Rockefeller an nounced he and Nixon had ACHIEVED AGREEMENT on issues ranging from foreign policy and defense to the na tional economy, farm policies, education and a program for civil rights. He added: "These constitute the basic positions for which I have been fighting. If they are em bodied in the Republican plat form as adopted by the con vention, they will constitute a platform that I can support with pride and vigor." INTERESTING question: Who took the Initiative in calling the meeting? Was it Mr. Rockefeller? Or was It Mr. Nixon? BY WAY of answer, a dis patch from New York by AP's Gerald Miller on Satur day morning reports that it was Rockefeller's protest on Friday that preliminary plat form planks on such key is sues as foreign policy and de fense, the national economy, farm policies, education and civil rights were lacking in strength that reportedly moved Nixon to try for an eleventh hour meeting of minds. Anyway Agreement on the party platform seems to have been A S Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERT IN' HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY, "More Than Meeta th By,"' Photographer Carl Mydans tells of day la 1810, wfua a shrieking, hysterical Chinese woman In Chungking beggee him for a coin or two as she held aloft her dead infant, waving it by one foot, "like a butcher with a plucked chicken." Mydans gave her a little money, and a few hours later, unable to get the tragic picture out of his mind, returned to the spot where he had seen her. There she sat, a bowl of rice at her side, hap pily feeding her infant very much alive and con tented. "Then." writes Mydans, '1 understood: when people are starving; any 1 is a iair one mat adds a few more days to We." . .

In that event, all that re mains for the Chicago con vention to do is to write a platform embodying the agreement that has been reached and name the Repub lican candidates for President and vice president. THAT leaves this question: Will Mr. Rockefeller ac cept the vice presidential nomination ... or will be re fuse it? AS TO THAT, Saturday morning's dispatches re port that on Friday many Re publicans felt that if the two men could come to a general agreement on the platform it would pave the way for a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket. But at a hastily summoned predawn conference Cafter the private talks between the two men) Rockefeller's press sec retary told the newsmen that the New York governor had repeated his stand that he would NOT run in second place. Asked if Nixon had asked the governor point blank to do so, McManus rev plied: "No comment." W5 ;LL, we'll see what we'll. see. ; At the beginning of the' Republican national conven tion, who would have sup posed that Lyndon Johnson would accept (apprently hap, pily) the Democratic nomina-. tion for vice president?

Crowded Pool To the Editor: Yes 1 have been down to Hawthorne Pool recently and, as Mrs. Fltzsim mons says. It Is very, very crowded, which probably ac counted for the fact that they were Jumping off the edge of the pool without regord for those Blrcady In It. If they waited for them to get out of the way they would probably still be standing. With that many lively young people try ing to have a good time all at the same time, it's difficult for them to be mannerly. I do not object to discipline, In fact I'm all for It. What I objected to was the way in which it was being adminis tered. The kids were starting to think It was a big joke and were working real hard for those laps. I sympathize with Mrs. Fitz simmons though. I know it must have been terribly diffi cult to show her troop of Girl Scouts the finer points of swimming with all of the oth er kids In the pool and Mrs. Frascr that got dunked three times. (For what its worth, my son tells me they only dunk the pretty ones.) Mrs. B. J. Wyatt 1122 West Eighth st. Mcdford.

Communism and its kindred ambitions are weak and of no significance whatsoever, in comparison. The enemy within our hearts is the only serious tragedy, as of now. Only we, here in this great America, can fully appreciate how very serious is this danger. And if we aren't on the alert, and soon, then we have already been "took." It is later than we think. The most powerful and influ ential Man the world has ever known, who used as His only weapon Faith and eternal love for His fellow man, is the Humble Christ. We would do well to stop and remember His accomplishments and con duct ourselves accordingly. Mrs. Mary Williams, Central Point, Ore.
