JfifjJ-ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAI The Parties There must be a' feeling of distress not to say disgust among many sincere people whose political feeliners are unabashedly conservative as they watched the platforms of the two major political parties take shape. Those, for instance, who honestly believe that states' rights are more important than human rights; who believe that foreign aid is "pouring money down a rat-hole ; who think the govern ment should turn back the economic clock to the days of laissez faire, economic royalism and rug ged individualism. For the platforms of both parties the Demo crats' as it was adopted publicans as it is shaping up m Chicago as this is written fully acknowledge that this is the 20th century, and that America is fully committed to live m the world as it is, not as many would like it to be. AXHAT good is a platform? It is not really a specific set of firm goals, although it reads like one. It is, rather, a state ment of ideals, objectives and principles on which party leaders are generally agreed. How well performance, afterward, measures up to the objectives set forth in the platform, depends on a variety of circumstances. (For instance, the Democratic platform of 1932 promised economy in government and a balanced budget Instead, the Congress followed FDR's lead into deficit financing and govern ment spending which, at that time, was unex ampled and almost unbelievable although it would De small potatoes today. DUT, with its broad scope, its high objectives and lofty principles, even if sometimes ie- nored, a platform does serve a purpose. It declares a party's consensus on a wide range of subjects, it focuses attention on specific problems and areas of need, and it declares the party's willingness to do something about them. In. this, a party's platform is a little like a company's advertising: it displays the wares, and invites the customers to buy. .Whether or not they do depends on a lot of things, including the personality of candidates. But at least they're not shopping wholly blind.

To the Editor: Re Sunday's editorial, speaking of "horri ble examples" I wish some of you would drive up Sardine Creek, the extreme left fork. I'm not too well informed on this, but am told that this is not only Government ground but that the logging operation itself was supervised by for estry men. EGADS, I've see every sort of logging on the creek in the last 10 years, from one man to two horse to 'big Cat' opera tions, and I've never wit nessed such complete destruc tion of an area of land as this. Not only was a highllne used but there is not one sprig of green left nothing but sheer dirt banks which can easily be moved down creek with one good rain. And to add insult to injury these con scientious destroyers of na ture left open cartons of dyna mite, electric caps, rolls of fuses and other blasting equip ment lying at hand up and down the whole STRIPPED area. Perhaps there is a reason able excuse for this yarding or highlining type of logging, but I would like a good (and I think it would have to be darn good) excuse lor leaving explosives within easy reach of any child or careless per son. One very irate mother. Mrs. Charmaine McMahan Route 1, Box 528 Gold Hill, Ore. Free World Government To the Editor: Our number one problem is how to avoid atomic war. Our policy of con tainment of communism and building bigger and better armaments, while it does de lay Communist aggression, is no eventual solution. When we unilaterally defend a coun try against aggression, our ac tion is turned against us by the Communists, as interfer ring in the affairs of others where we have no business. While we do not accept their arguments, other people do, and U. S. prestige suffers. France now has the bomb and within a short time many other countries will have the bomb, including Red China. The cost of trying to police the entire world keeps going up and will eventually bank rupt us. The only way out of this dilemma is an international government that does not in clude the Communists and has the power to enforce law and order in the world. Saying that no such government is possible without the Commu nists is like saying that law is not possible in the United States because the gangsters would not obey. At least it could settle differences be tween the civilized countries and give us unity of action if we do have to fight a war. The United States should go all out to form such a gov ernment by combining the OAS, NATO and our military alliances, and by Inviting all interested nations to submit tentative constitutions as a prelude to an International convenlon. . John Chitwood 434 Berrydale Ave. Medford. Firemen Praised To the Editor: I think too often the citizens of Medford take for granted the perform ances of our Medford Fire department.

The fire department has shown this same efficiency in other major Medford fires. Murrey A.

Bang-Vp Affair To the Editor: I am grati fied by the stir our Republi can Luau has caused in cer tain Democratic circles. The purpose, of course, was to raise money to help support our local candidates. It has long been our desire to try to relieve our candidates of as much financial strain as possible, In order that they, may devote more time to cam paigning. We are not fortu nate enough to be blessed with millionaires, backed up by labor union war chests. We needed the money, and in fine old GOP tradition we went out and earned It. Along with raising these necessary funds for our can didates, we had a bonus of de lightful side-effects. One was the efforts of many people to provide such a beautiful set ting and unusual food that over 500 people went away feeling that they had more than received vulue for mon ey given (another fine old GOP tradition). Perhaps the most important was the chance to hear U. S. Senator Hugh Scott, who so opposes building up commu nism by admitting Red China to the UN, that he travelled all the way out here to Med ford to impress upon us the absolute necessity of electing Senator Edwin Durno as our U, S. representative. All in all, it was a bang-up affair to be proud of. But I know how the Jackson Coun ty Democrats must feel.

It Is the basic philosophy of c o m munlsm. However, he overlooks the Important point In his "cure" for this "new order." The cure Is Christ, Himself. His teach ings mean nothing If He has no power to carry them out. The world has rejected Christ voluntarily for over 1900 years. It knows His teachings, and also the author ity He claimed. Beginning with the religious leaders of Israel In His enrthly life, so piety has deliberately said in effect, "If He be God, down with Him. . We don't want Him." If He really is God, He will return soon and prove it. If to. believe this is a fool's dream, His teachings mean nothing. Parker Bailey 542 W 'A' St. ,' Ashland, Ore. Questions , To the Editor: It was truly an Imposing figure, $1,100, 000,000. It couldn't help at tracting attention to Mr. Jen kins' column. There it was, spelled out In a number of different ways as a miistcrful feat of budge' balnnclng by President Elsenhower, some thing he points to with great pride. "Hmmmmmmm," as the columnist would say. That leaves Mr. Elsenhower $10, 000,000,000 in the hole from his previously unbalanced budget of 1988, This much more potent figure was not spelled out by Mr, Jenkins, No doubt Mr. Jenkins could explain, if he would, how Mr, Elsenhower causes his stag goring deficits to go into But Nomination; '64 By LYLE C.

The ultimatum was that Uie committee must accept the platform announced point by point by Rockefeller after re ceiving Nlxon-or- else. The or else was simply this.

But events of tho last week In the Day's News By FRANK For the moment, let's forget the Republican national con vention In Chicago which Is buckling down to its serious business of adopting a plat form and nominating candi dates for President and vice president. So let's turn our attention to United Nations headquar ters In New York, where the shooting down by Russian fighter planes of a U.S. recon naissance plane Is under con sideration. THE United States accused Russia of a "criminal and reckless act of piracy." The accusation was made by Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. am bassador to United Nations. Not only. Ambassador Lodge charged, was our plane shot down over international wa ters - where it had a RIGHT to be. Before It was shot down, he said, a Soviet fighter plane TRIED TO FORCE IT OVER ONTO SOVIET TERRITORY -thus creating an Incident de signed to prove that we were guilty of acts provocative of war. HOW do we know that Is what happened? Woll, at this morning's ses sion of U.

For example: It was Nixon, the assured presidential nominee, who sought the meotlng. II wits Rockefeller who nuido the propositi public. Moreover, whon the gov ernor flow next day to Chica go he enlarged from his air plane brandishing a copy of the platform proposals and exclaimed to tha welcoming throng: "If you think these do not represent my Ideas, you're crazy." This could be, of course, Rockefeller's finest hour. He is besieged on all sldos to ac cept the vice presidential nomination but spurns It. One thing that would lift this rather listless convention to penks of enthusiasm would bo for Rockefeller to reverse the field, accept the vice presi dential nomination and pledge an all-our tight to win the office. The delegates, or most of them, would like that. It would be a shot In the arm for the Republicans as the Democrats got their shot In the nomination of Sen. Lyn don B. Johnson for veep. The Republicans would loave Chi cngo believing they had nom Dangers Are Listed erased any doubt Uiere might have been that the Cuban economy already has "gone Communist." An American In Cuba gloomily surveying the situ aUon there predicted that most If not all American property will have been seiz ed by the government by next summer.

We have done nothing which requires defense. We want the U.N. council to deal with this criminal and reck less act of piracy committed by the Soviet Union so that our men, now In illegal de tention, may be freed, and so that the whole world may breathe more easily again," 11USSIA Immediately reject- ed the demand. Soviet Deputy Foreign Min ister Vasll;' V. Kuztonsov termed Lodge's presentation of the U.S. side of the con troversy "a coarse fabrication from beginning to end made up for the deceit of Uie people of the United States and world public opinion and WITH NO FACTUAL MA TERIAL BEHIND IT." He added that the Soviet Union Is resolutely against any Investigation or the set ting up of any commissions. 11HY this recital of what " haDnened at UnlLnt Na tions headquarters? . Well, it Is against this dark background that the Repub lican national convention as sembles In Chicago to adopt a platform and nominate Its party candidates for President and vice president. In many ways (Including the dark backdrop) It re sembles the Republican con vention that assembled In Chi cago Just a few days more than a century ago to adopt a platform and nomlnato can didates for the presidency and vice presidency.

Pro-Cuba Arguments Those who profess to see a difference between a Cuba economically controlled b v communism but Inhabited by a people who resist It as an Ideology, use two main argu menU. Thoy say the Cuban would rojeel the discipline Imposed by communism, and that, re gardless of outward appear ances, he Is Inwardly a devout Roman Catholic. The fallacy of the argument Is suggested by the fate of Hungary and oilier satellite states where Communist re gimes never have have de pended upon majority ap proval, However, It Is the economic side which permits no argu ment and forecasts hard times ahead for the Cuban people.

Among others, Egypt learn ed a bitter lesson when it mortgaged Its principal crop, long staple cotton, In ex change for Russian arms. The deal gave Russia approxi mately half of Egypt's cotton, leaving the Egyptians free to sell the romalnder on the world mnrkot, When it came time to do so, the Egyptians found them selves competing against their own product which the Rus sians wore dumping at below world prices. , So It may be with Cuba.
