A CERTAIN tendency to shrug off responsi- bilitv for enfnrrpmenr. nf thpsp laws nn fho part of both county and city officials, evident Over the Dash pnnnlp nf mnnrVis was pnnfirmoH by the digging of a Mail set loi tn in a story wnicn appeared in last sun- day s paper. A law is a law. A duty is a duty. And failure to enforce a diilv-nassprl law is nonfeasance in office. Whether one aorpps law makes no difference. Whether it's difficult to enforce makes no difference. Whether it's ex pensive to enforce makes no difference. And whether, deep down in one's secret heart, one be lieves tne voters were misled, maKes no diliernece either. FOR the record, here are the results of the dog vulc m uutu city anu county, as ui ficially recorded in the county elections division : Jackson county: For dogs running at large 8,813. Against dogs running at large 10,539. City of Medford: For dogs running at large 2,342. . Against dogs running at large 5,087. The vote was close enough in the county to make almost tenahlp the t.hpnrv that pnnno-h iipr. pie were confused on the tne actual intent or tne people is in ciouDt. MOT so in the city of Medford. ' That large a margin is decisive, whether or not a few voters were confused. The only con clusion is that almost five out of every seven voters want dogs controlled inside the Medford city limits.' There has been no agitation for a re-vote, as there has been in several sections of the county. There is no excuse whatsoever for the city to shrug off its repsonsibility. E.A. P.S. Since the above was written, we learn that officials of the city and county were to meet this morning to discuss dog control enforcement. We wish them well. It's a difficult problem. But it must be faced. E.A. Challenge to the U. N. In the chaotic crisis in the Congo, the United Nations is facing up to its most difficult per haps even its most dangerous challenge in recent years. Dag Hammarskjold is faced with pressures -from a Hundred different directions ; by jealousies and suspicions ; by political naivete and political ambition; by unrestrained passions; by. tribal ta boos and big-power senstitivities. If the U.N. can bring order and law and en lightenment and cooperation out of this mess, the U.N. can really be said to have grown up. "THERE are those among us who revile the U.N,, who mistrust it, who would pull America out of it. But twice in very recent memory it has avert ed what could easily have turned into a world wide war of annihilation once when the North Koreans swept down on the Republic of Korea, and were pushed back and held by U.N. forces; and again when Britain, France and Israeli began their desperate and dangerous invasion of Egypt, after the nationalization of the Suez canal. In those two actions the U.N. has earned not only our gratitude and confidence, but has re paid, many times over, what it would have cost us in blood, tears and treasure had. the U.N. not acted. IN THE Congo, the U.N. is entering a new and challenging phase of its existence. It is cementing the precedent of using a "po lice force" of international composition. It is venturing into an area of diplomacy and admin istration and pacification never before success fully attempted by an international organization. It is getting awfully close to running the internal affairs of a country which cannot, as yet, anyway, run them itself. If it can pull it off ; if it can pass the miracle of international cooperation and good will which it is attempting, it will be even more firmly established, not only as the only world forum we have, but more important, as an increasingly ef fective policeman and international arbiter a strong force for world peace.

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 necossarily represent the views of the paper: in fact the contrary i often the case. People and Creatures To the Editor: Those who wish me to write something funny so they can grin some more are using fans to keep them cool. I have a fan, but this brain can't think during sultry weather. Oh well, anything I write will not require thought. One tells me to write about people. That's easy. I like them. I even like their mis takes because they give me faith to live with my own.. I like the sinful folk because they had the nerve to do what I didn't dare. I like the meanies, for I often get up with a large chip on my shoulder and I can watch the meanies and second the mo tion. I like the goodie-goodies because they are such good examples to the rest of us. As I said -1 like people. Mostly, I even like me until the blamed mirror shows me up; the thin spot in my hair, broad middle, big feet. Ughl That poem some smarty wrote about a dab o' powder, a touch o' paint making an ugly woman look like what she ain't, helps. I shall work at it. There are many people I'd like to know. For instance, Lynn M. Watkins who writes "Small World Around Us." I'd like to tell him about, lit tle "people" of the wilds I've known: The "porkies" that clattered our' ax - handle at night while gnawing to taste the salty sweat; a large snap ping turtle that learned to accept bugs from my fingers; a hoot owl's maniacal laugh ter that made my bones all shivery; small wings and legs I've set and cared for 'til they brought trust in me. People who do not know the little creatures, are miss ing so very much. I keep a pan of fresh water in the edge of a flower bed for my pet toad. A toad is worth a lot to a garden. Each night an old mongrel dog comes there to drink - or did. Two children spied him before he got his drink one night and they stoned him as long as he was in reach. Then a woman took up the chase until the harmless old fel low was out of sight. He hasn't returned. I liked F. J. Clifford's letter to Communications Sunday, Aug. 7. If every child had chores to do, there would be less naughtiness. Paper boys, for instance, are very good, young citizens. See you at the Fifty Plus Club Friday. Gram Jacksonville, Ore. How About It, FJC? To the Editor: It is with a cynical tear In my eye that I read a letter from Mr. F. J. Clifford of Route 2, Box 200F, Central Point, about his poor little orphan boy. Mr. Clif ford, like a good many farm ers that like to brag how hard they work, feels sorry for this poor orphan. Does Mr. Clif ford realize that if this poor little orphan was allowed to carry on, his employers would hire nothing but orphans? Mr. Cliffo.'d may be one of those people that cannot make a living in a standard 6 or 8 hour day. So he expects every one else to conform to his ideas. I also have an extra tear for the Granger. He does n't think teen agcrs should have a mind of their own. This Granger should realize that a hamburger cost 10 cents when he was a boy, and is now 45 to 55 cents, and other things In proportion. The farmers with their growling have, according to my reasoning, given the Uni- TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Menace UlT A AA A On A OCT I T TRjW TO KS$MEI led States a disservice, plant ing potatoes in Maine, from 24 inch rows to 18 inch, thus insuring a large yield, untold acres that never even pro duced a thing taken out of cultivation. This enables them to get a certain payment, soil erosion, and in many cases. our farmer friends have ob tained free fertilizer. How about it Mr. Clifford? Send us another letter. Tell us, Mr. Clifford, how you and others plant and grow more than you can take care of. You have to appeal to your town, city, or county to have your crop. I know of cases where school districts have let out school to help certain crops. Who benefits from that? Sure, the people, but go into a store and try to buy some of this produce. We have tried it and have paid through the nose. Of course Mr. Clifford had to bring a union into his let ter. If Mr. Clifford thinks that unionism is wrong, all he has to do is to think about the facts that farmers can not stick together. I can show him that when prices were low, farmers decided not to sell produce or milk, but after dark, the roads were crowded with farmers taking produce to market. How about it Mr. Clifford? Frank D. Casey Horse Creek, Calif. Imaginary Ghosts To the Editor: The other day, while out for a breath of fresh air during my lunch hour, I experienced that which, for lack of a better word, might well be called "pathetique." Wearing Front at Sixth, I heard the blaring siren of an enormous diesel engine haul ing a string of freight cars northward, warning pedes trians and cars of its ap proach. At the intersection, I saw a young mother with a 4-year-old child in tow. While the mother was busy adjusting a package or two preparatory to crossing, the little girl raised her right arm opening and closing her pudgy little fingers in a gesture of wav ing bye-bye.' This episode brought forth disturbing memories of some long, long ago yesterdays, and pathos for the little girl who childishly saluted the imagin ary ghosts of imaginary pas sengers of an imaginary friendly Southern Pacific. George Distell 156 Vashti way Medford. Age Limit? To the Editor: Republicans are using Kennedy's age, 43 years, as being too youthful for a president of the United States. I thought that ex president Harry S. Truman was hinting at the same thing. In a letter to him I asked the following question: "Do you favor a Constitu tional amendment which would specify that president ial and vice presidential can didates must be at least 45 years of age?" No answer. What do you Republicans think of it? David Frisch P. O. Box 292 White City, Ore. The Religious Question To the Editor: Many of us appreciate the broad view you have. You have shown tnis by printing so many of our letters in the Mail Tribune. We know that you cannot possibly agree with all of us. It is hoped that you will con tinue by your actions in pro moting one of America's prec- t Political Stability Still Elud South Korean Republic: law Rul By SAMUEL KIM Seoul - (UPD - If South Ko rea's National Assembly elec tions proved anything it was that political stability still is a long way off in the young anti-Communist republic. The violence that accompa nied the elections showed that the rule of law - which broke down during the "revolution" that toppled strongman Syng- ious heritages, that of freedom of the press. In the forthcoming political battle, for that's what it looks like it will be, we'll all have a grandstand view of some very interesting events. This republic was founded on the principles of religious freedom. I don't believe any of us should lightly take that freedom. We owe much to those men who would not sacrifice principle for greed or monetary gain. The want of the world to day is for men who can neither be bought or sold, men who are as true to prin ciple as the needle is to the pole. Many seem to be concerned over the possibility oi a Catholic for president. Per haps a quotation here from the June 19 "Register," an of ficial Catholic publication, might throw some light on the question. Some might wonder why many Protestants seem to object to a Catholic running for president. Here is the statement under the heading, "We can make U.S.A. Catholic": "Often have I wished that could be alive when the great sweep into the church occurrs in the United States. I have always felt that there will be a tidal wave of con versions, and that Protestant ism will disappear into his tory, or be left as only a small body." This Register article then says, The uatnonc cnurcn 10 day is the very church that Christ personally founded on the Rock that is peter ana the succeeding Popes. There can be no nuestioning the fact that this church is divinely Drotected in her teachings and has the straight doctrine of Christ." Now this is not being writ ten for the sake of argument, However most non-Catholics auestion the above statements They have fresh in their minds recent happenings in Colom- bia. Prior to that they think of European history when the church dominated tne state. Along with this they have been tola tnat Jtome never changes. The writer fondly looks to the day when the God of Heaven' will set up His ever lasting Kingdom. Then and only then will there be peace. Henry jonnson jr. 2400 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Praise for Scouters To the Editor (via the Med ford Chamber of Commerce): Recently we had the pleasure of providing overnight space in Fairmont Park (where my husband and myself are the caretakers), for the scouts-of the Crater Lake Council. Mr. Shirrel.R. Doty, N. H. Glad feltcr, George Flanagan and B. Sam Taylor were in charge of the boys. I thought you might ap preciate knowing the men were indeed courteous to us and very pleasant with the scouts, and the scouts of this group were well behaved and trained. They were excep tional and the finest group (out of the thousands) that have stayed in the park, go ing or returning from the Jamboree. These mentioned men are due a lot of credit. Mr. Miller and I have been in your fine city and also Crater Lake. We enjoyed our visit there. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Singmaster of Ashland, Ore., are rela tives of ours. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Miller 2245 McClelland st. Salt Lake City 6, Utah On Qualifications To the Editor: Reading the letters to the editor lately, I've wondered just what quali fications some voters consider desirable in a representative of the people? For example, it seems to be a handicap, when running for office, to have achieved a measure of success financially and scholastically by working, studying and sav ing. " I assume that those who are currently complaining of Dr. Durno's successful carscr are registered Democrats who will probably support their young and rich presidential candi date, who achieved his success by being born into a wealthy family. Referring to Dr. Durno's stand on the Forand bill for free medical aid. This bill would, as Dr. Durno stated, make free medical care avail able to all on Social Security despite the fact that many are quite capable of paying their own way. Regardless of man Rhee from power three months ago - still has not been reestablished firmly. Too many people in South Korea still have the idea that they can accomplish their aims by demonstrations. This idea prevails because of the sue cess of demonstrations against the corrupt Rhee re gime. Police Demoralized The police still are demor alized as a result of the public uprisings and show little abil ity to handle determined dem onstrators. Officials are reluctant to use army troops again to maintain order except in iso lated cases and only if abso- a person's income or wealth, if they were obliged to con tribute to Social Security be cause of their particular oc cupation they would then be eligible for free medical care. For those who think that the medical profession should be socialized, ponder the fact that the high and the wealthy of other socialized nations fre quently come to this country for medical attention. C. B. McGarvie P. O. Box 538 Rogue River, Ore. School Boundary Change To the Editor: On Aug. 11 the boundary board is meeting to consider the transfer of valuable property from the Phoenix-Talent school district to the Medford school district. If the Jackson County Re organization committee had done its duty when this mat ter was presented to them last month, this boundary change could not even been consider ed at this time. The purpose of having the reorganization committee pass on all bound ary changes after reorganiza tion is to protect the assessed valuation and enrollment of the smaller districts so that they will be able to carry on an adequate educational pro gram. The voters consolidated the Phoenix and Talent districts under the reorganization law for the purpose of improving their school program. This consolidation was approved by the local reorganization committee, as .well as by the state authorities. Regardless of the wishes, or even the welfare, of a small pressure group who are in new real estate development at the outer edge of the school district, it was the clear duly of the reorganization commit tee to consider the welfare of the whole Phoenix-Talent dis trict and refuse to transfer property from a smaller dis trict, which needed tne stu dents and property, to a huge overgrown district like Med ford. However, they voted 4 to 2 n favor of the transfer, with members not present. At least 3 of the affirmative voters live or own property in the Medford school district. The south end of the valley had no representation on the committee. To decide a mat ter as vital as this an im partial board should pass on Either the Mcdiord mem bers should not have voted, or the state committee should have the jurisdiction. If this type of decision is being made in other districts, it is not sur prising that there is a growing sentiment all over the state to repeal the reorganization law. The present school district reorganization committee did not do its duty when it allow ed such a transfer to be per mitted; and there should be an investigation of this matter at state level. Those interested should ap pear at the Courthouse audi torium at 8 p.m., Aug. 11, to attend the boundary board hearing. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Howard Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Claflin Mr. and Mrs. H. E.

M - lutely necessary. Beyond this is the fact that the military itself is in a state of disorder, as a result of "munities"' by junior officers against super iors whom the young officers claim were involved in the Rhee corruption. Some of the cream of the army brass has been pushed aside and more will follow. Army unrest is likely to con tinue for some time. To add to the confusion caused by the election vio lence, police authorities rais ed the possibility - just as the Rhee regime did at the outset of the "revolution" -that the demonstrations were Communist-inspired. Not Rod-Inspired If this was not true before - and most agree that it was not - then it's unlikely to be true in the latest incidents. While there may have been some Red agitators there arc the Administration's policy of giving medals and military aid to such dictators as Trujilln, Batista, and Stroessner; in deed, the brutal killer who rules the Dominican Republic has recently called him "Pub lic Enemy No. 1." and hopes for his political defeat. Congressman Porter's alert nd intelligent interest in Latin American affairs has marie him well - known in places far away from Oregon and Washington. Last year, for example, editorials prais- ng his stand against dictator ships were printed in impor- ant newspapers and maga zines in Buenos Aires. Monte video and Santiago, Chile. His work is well and favorably nown to all those who take special interest in our neigh bors south of the Rio Grande. As the cold war continues. men like Representative Por ter are needed more than ever n Congress to help us turn the tide in the battle for men's minds. The possibility of a Soviet -Cuban alliance less than 100 miles from U.S. ter ritory dramatically points up the importance of your Con gressman s knowledge and ex perience in Latin American affairs. I have written this letter, and made a small contribution to Congressman Porter's cam paign fund, because I know what a good job he has done In Washington - not just for his constituents, but for all of us. He faces a hard fight for reelection this November.
