Some Premise
The Republican candidate for Congress from
this district, Dr.' Durno of Medford, said again
this week he favors health care for the aged on
some kind of insurance set up. But in outlining
nis proposal he made it
any brand that will work.
Being against a medical care plan for the
aged in this dav and age is political suicide. So
those who disfavor it are reduced to making red
herring proposals of ineffective methods. One is
forced to the conclusion such is Durno's tactic.
He looks with alarm
wherein working people would pay for their
health insurance after they retired through de
ductions frpm their pay checks. This is the way
they pay for their Social Security pensions today.
Durno feels anything so "compulsory" would
be un-American, or something.
If he's right, then we'd better get rid of the
Social Security system altogether, for it is found
ed on the same premise as the Forand Bill.
Coos Bay World. :
French Are Shocked
Robert Kostka, the art film authority puts into
perspective our peculiar American attitude to
ward "decency." He pointed out, in an interview
with Marvin Tims of this newspaper, that many
American films are rejected by Europeans as be
ing too morbid, too brutal, too suggestive.
But by "suggestive' he means not suggestive
of sex, but suggestive of murder, arson, mayhem,
burglary and other activities of that type. This
stuff is just too strong
tolerant ot the female iorm but intolerant of stab-
bings and torture.
Mr. Kostka's observation bears' out what was
written in these columns a couple of months ago.
We have in America a curious double standard.

The Common Enemy
There's one problem the leaders of the Demo
cratic Party are 'not likely to have this year. It
is not likely they will require a loyalty oath of
any prominent Democrat. They won't have to ask
'em to swear that they will not vote for the Re
publican candidate, Kichard Nixon.
They may disagree on some points, but on
one all prominent Democrats will be united. To
a man, they thoroughly dislike Mr. Nixon.
Some Republicans will argue that Mr. Nixon
did not say all the harsh things that he is alleged
to have said about some prominent Democrats
and the Democratic Party. But their protests will
shatter on deaf ears. The Democrats are con
vinced that Mr. Nixon did make some rough
statements about their party and some members
of their party and they are not going to forgive
and forget.
THEY are sure that he questioned the patriotism
of Harry S. Truman, Dean Acheson and Adlai
Stevenson, among others, and the Democratic
party.
the Speaker of the House, Mr. Sam Rayburn,
has said he never will forgive Nixon. When Mr.
Sam speaks it is not idle chatter. He means it,
and no Democrat knows better how to take care
of an enemy.
Democrats with long memories have not for
gotten how Mr. Nixon got a big push up the lad
der to the political big time. He got there by de
feating Helen Gahagen (Mrs. Melvyn Douglas)
in a California contest, the record of which shows
Nixon repeatedly questioned the patriotism of
Mrs. Douglas.
I7E WILL find out this year how well Mr.
" Nixon can "take it." He has shown he is a
pretty fair hand in a rough and tumble political
fight. But what he's been through will seem, be
fore this campaign is out, to have been no more
rigorous than a tiddly-winks contest.
Democrats will give him the works and they
will thoroughly relish every minute of it. He is
the common enemy. It will not be necessary to
enlist volunteers to lead the charge against him.

Co-existence and the Congo
The task of the U. N. in
the Congo is entirely without
precedent and it is inordi
nately diffi-
c u It. Indeed,
the problems
are insoluble
unless the
g o vernments
which make
up the U. N.
can rise above
their normal
behavior to a
much higher
level of reason and good will.
The diplomatic leadership of
I Mr. Hammarskjoid, which
fZtlSSSLi'p
has
bot-
prin-
ciple that if you expect a
lot, men will try to live up
to it.
The indispensable condition
of success is that the great
powers should realize that
each of them has a vital in
terest in the mission of the
U. N. This is a case where
the principle of unanimity,
which is imbedded in the
Charter, is necessary. The
great powers must do more
than acquiesce. They must ac
tively support the mission, us
ing their Influence where it
counts. Great Britain and
the United States have used
their influence with their Bel
gian friend and ally. The Bel
gian government will no doubt
use its influence in Katanga.
There is every reason why
the Soviet government should
use its influence with Premier
Lumumba on behalf of mod
eration. nnHE powers have a common
-- interest In the Congo, It
is to prevent a civil war and
many tribal wars from tempt
ing, inviting, and even com
pelling the . great powers to
intervene. It is impossible that
any one great power should
intervene in the Congo with
out the others intervening
also. We do not think of inter
vening. We know quite well
that the Soviets would inter
vene if we did. Moscow can
be quite sure that if it inter
venes, we shall also intervene.
The primary aim of the U.
N. is to preserve the peace
of the world. In specific terms
that means in this case neu
tralizing and sterilizing the
Congo so that it does not be
come a stake in the cold war.
This can be done only if the
great powers want it to be
done.
IF PREMIER Lumumba can
be persuaded by wise
council from his African
neighbors and from Moscow
to forego the idea of conquer
ing Katanga, If Mr. Tshombe
can be persuaded to look for
a constitutional solution un-
dor U. N. auspices, civil war
may be avoided. This will
give the members of the Unit
ed Nations time to study the
enormous problem of making
a Congolese federation a go
ing concern
The tragedy of the Congo,
as all the world now realizes,
is that the Congolese them
selves have so very few train
ed leaders, administrators and
technicians. Belgium granted
them independence without
having prepared them for it,
And the problem of the Congo
-asuming that great power
intervention and civil war are
both avoided - is how to fill
this vacuum,
I have heard it estimated
that to provide officers for
the army and the police, ad'
ministrators, and technicians
for the central and provincial
governments and for the utili
ties and industries, about 30,
000 trained people are needed
These trained people exist.
They are the Belgians who
have run the Congo, and it is
fair to say that they are for
the present irreplaceable. Un
til the Congolese can be ed
ucated and trained, there are

not 30,000 French - speaking
civil servants and technicians
and doctors available in the
world to go to the Congo.
THIS will mean that an ex
tremely delicate problem
lies ahead. How, without the
restoration of Belgian politi
cal or military power in the
Congo, can the trained Bel
gians be persuaded to stay, or
if they have left, to return?
How can the other African
nations and the Soviet and
Chinese governments be in
duced to agree to the use of
the virtually irreplaceable
Belgians?
These are not questions
that the State Department can
or should try to answer in the
form of public pronounce
ment. The problem is in the
United Nations and for once
our role is, thanks be, not
that of the leader who must
fix it all but of the loyal sup
porters.
THE difficulties of the Con
go problem are increased
by the fact that communica
tion has broken down be
tween Moscow and Washing
ton. If it were possible to talk
with Mr. K., instead of trad
ing Insults with him, it would
be useful to be able to say
to him that what the U. N.
is doing in the Congo is a
dramatic example of how co
existence can be made to
work. The example might be
applied elsewhere.

In the Days News
By FRANK JENKINS
From Vientiane Laos (you'll
probably have to look that
one up on your map, and
may have a hard time finding
it): 1
Prince ' Souvana Phouma
formed a new government to
day dedicated to ending, the
civil conflict with the com
munist guerrillas. He was
brought to power by Laos
army rebels, who deposed the
previously pro-American . re
gime whiph had aligned Laos
with the United States.
The new head of the gov
ernment announces that un
der his administration Laos
will follow a NEUTRALIST
policy. Repercussions were
feared from the U. S., which
has been PAYING MOST OF
THE KINGDOM'S BILLS and
training its 30,000-man royal
army in jungle tactics to fight
the communists.
AH, ME. I sometimes won
der why we Americans
don't go neutral and chant
melodiously with the poet:
"Let me live in my house by
the side of the road and be a
friend of man."
It would be WONDERFUL
-until the communists came
along and gobbled us up along
with all the other "neutral
ists." FROM Alamogordo, N. M.:
Capt. Joseph Kittinger
set a world record today for
manned balloon flight and a
new parachute jumping mark
by leaping from an open gon
dola 102,000 feet (a shade un
der 20 miles) above the earth.
He got so far up that it took
him 13 minutes and eight sec
onds to get back.
HMMMMMMMM.
Everybody seems intent
these days on getting as far
away from the surface of this
earth as possible.
Everything considered, that
is perhaps understandable.
FROM Washington:
FBI Director Hoover re
ports today there was a STAR
TLING nine per cent increase
in the national crime rate dur
ing the first six months of
this year. He said the upswing
in crime was spread through
out the United States, but was
highest in the West, where
crimes of violence rose 19 per
cent and property crimes
went up 15 per cent.
Police, Director Hoover
said, reported a total of 462,
396 offenses against property,
an increase of more than 40,
000 over the same period last
year.
THERE'S trouble every
where. For example:
In London, Antony Armstrong-Jones
(husband of Prin
cess Margaret) has lost his
butler and appears to be on
the edge of losing his footman
valet! Rugged, isn't it? The news
today sounds like the incan
tation of the witches in Mac
beth: "Double, double, toil and
trouble;
"Fire burn and cauldron
bubble."
I KNOW this piece sounds
terribly cynical . . . and,
in general, I'm inclined to
cast a doubting eye on cynics.
But, at this moment in his
tory, what with politics, and
rising dissatisfaction with ev
erything that is, and a grow
ing yen for the quick buck,
I'm not too sure but what
there may be an opening in
our country for CONSTRUC
TIVE cynicism.
Railroads To Ask
Grain Rate Slash
Portland-IUPU-Major Pacific
northwest railroads have an
nounced plans to file a re
quest with the Interstate Com
merce Commission in Wash
ington, D.C., Monday asking
for rate reductions on grain
moving to west coast ports.
Harold J. Turner, manager
of the Oregon Railroad Asso
ciation, said the rate reduc
tions were being requested in
an effort to meet truck and
barge competition.
Turner said the new rates
would cut an estimated $7
million from freight costs for
growers.
If there is no opposition to
the requested rate reduction,
the new rates are expected to
become effective Sept. 30.
Representatives of the rail
roads also said they planned
to seek rate reductions for
shipment of grain from the
Pacific northwest to Cali
fornia.
Railroads involved are Un
ion Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Great Northern, Milwaukie
Road, and Spokane, Portland
& Seattle and subsidiaries.

Adenauer to Face Brandt In
West German 1961 Election
By WELLINGTON LONG
Bonn, Germany - IUPD - The
inevitable contest between the
old bull and the most power
ful of his young challengers
is shaping up for next year's
West German electiori cam
paign. t By election time late next
summer, Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer will be 85 years
old. His most likely opponent
- West Berlin Lord Mayor
Willy Brandt - will then be
48.
It will be the fourth time
Adenauer has led his Chris
tian Democrats in a national
election campaign. He has
won handily each time, in
creasing his majorities in 1953
and 1957.
But Brandt, a national fig
ure and, by some public opin
ion polls, the country's most
popular man just now, will be
making his first national campaign.

now expect
This is the unavoidable con
clusion, at any rate, which
emerges from the results of
a long and intensive round
of doorbell-ringing in the
Parkchester apartments.
These vast, rather pleasing
red brick blocks of lower
middle income housing are a
good hunting ground for any
one interested in the voting
attitudes of special groups.
Something like 12,000 fam
ilies inhabit this island in
the wilds of the Bronx cre
ated by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company. The
rule is that each tenant's
name is on his door. The
name itself will usually in
dicate the group that the ten
ant belongs to. Thus you can
get any sort of sample you
want, simply by ringing door
bells with the right labels
above them. ;
As previously reported, the
trends among New York
state's Jewish voters were
tested in the Rosedale devel
opment in White Plains, with
the able help of Oliver Quayle
of Louis Harris Associates.
At the Parkchester, therefore,
Louis Harris and this report
er concentrated on doorbells
with what looked like Cath
olic labels, with such success
that fifty-nine Catholic voters
were included in our sample.
THIS very large and repre-
sentative sample, balanced
in its racial origin, was par
ticularly interesting for a spe
cial reason. It is no help to
Senator Kennedy, of course,
to win the support of Cath
olics who are already loyal
Democrats. For Kennedy, and
for Vice President Nixon too,
the vital question is whether
Kennedy can win large num-,
bers of Republican-v o t i n g
Catholics back into the Demo
cratic fold.
The great majority of these
Parkchester people were in
the Republican-voting Cath
olic group. Most of them, to
be sure, still retain their
Democratic registration, and
most of them no doubt still
vote Democratic in the city
elections.
Yet a fair number of them
had not cast a Democratic
vote in a national election
since 1940. Still more had
been voting Republican since
the war. And in 1956, no less
than 48 of the 59 had sup
ported Dwight D. Eisenhower
against only eight who had
voted for Adlai E. Stevenson,
and three who had not voted
that year.
In other words, close to
five out of six of these fire
men and policemen and
pharmacists and small sales
men and the rest had par
ticipated in the great Cath
olic migration from the Dem-
Labor Expected To
Vote Republican
Washington-fllPD-Labor Sec
tary James P. Mitchell pre
dicted today that the rank
and file of organized labor
will vote Republican in No
vember.
Mitchell, talking to news
men after seeing President
Eisenhower, said this was true
in 1956 and that union mem
bers are now more prosperous
than ever before. AFL-CIO
leaders are expected to en
dorse the Democratic presi
dential ticket this year.
In the United States, men
of Brandt's generation - the
generation that fought and
was decimated by the last war
- already head both major
parties. '
Issue Not Decided
Here, the issue is not yet
decided.
The issue in Germany is
not the same as that raised in
the United States as to wheth
er presidential candi dates
John F. Kennedy and Richard
M. Nixon are too young for
such weighty office.
In Germany the question is
more one of whether a man
of Adenauer's advanced years
is too old to remain in charge
of the country's affairs.
More than a simple 37
years separates the two men.
Adenauer was born the year
Gen. George Custer was de
feated at the Little Big Horn
ocratic to the Republican par
ty, which has been one of
the really major episodes of
American politics in the last
two decades. The. earlier 'mi
grants, moreover, are now too
strongly rooted in, their new
party to succumb to the pull
of a Catholic Democratic
Presidential nominee. Thus
Kennedy quite naturally got
the votes of the eight who
had chosen Stevenson in 1956,
plus two of the three who
had not voted last time. But
he won the support of only
nine of the 48 previous Ei
senhower voters, while Nixon
got 29 generally enthusiastic
votes in this group. Finally,
ten of the previous went into
the "don't know - column,
along with one of the pre
vious non-voters.
A 19 TO 29 Kennedy-Nixon
snlit in a sample that had
produced a 48 to eight Eisenhower-Stevenson
split looks
rather cheering to the Demo
crats. But as noted above,
the behavior of the former
Eisenhower voters is the point
of real interest. Thus far, not
quite 20 per cent of them
have been drawn back into
the Democratic column by
Kennedy's pull. The same pull
must be credited witn put
ting an additional 20 per cent
in the "don't know" column,
and these may perhaps go
all the way in the end.
i. In fact the ultimate de
cisions of these "don't know"
voters will determine whether
Kennedy's showing in the
Catholic voting group is only
fair or very good indeed.
Furthermore, . it will not be
easy for Kennedy to convince
these undecided Catholic vot
ers, whose Dasic political
tendency is deeply conserva
tive. ,
.
WE FOUND several of the
Parkchester Catholics
who had been for Kennedy
momentarily, and had then
changed their minds because
they feared he would "make
Adlai Stevenson Secretary of
State and give, the country
away." The same hostility to
the Stevenson-type Democrats
appeared in the crucial "don!t
know" group.
Offsetting this, however,
there was the same wide
spread, passionate resentment
of America's "loss of pres
tige" or "loss of respect'
abroad, which we also found
in Jewish Rosedale. If Ken
nedy can just give the im
pression that he knows how
to deal with Fidel Castro, he
will solve all his problems
at the .Parkchester apart
ments. (Copyright 1960, New York

To the Editor: This letter
is addressed to those who
have been calling me on tha
telephone, identifying them,
selves only as "Truth CitU
zens" for a political candi
date.
This is NOT to apologize
for my earlier letter. My wife
and I are the only ones that
know what you said on tha
telephone. But everybody that
reads the paper is going to
hear what I have to say about
you.
You are cowards.
You said you were a "weal
thy friend" of his, and he had
a lot more that would go to
any length to defend him.
You said the money was all
on your side, his, and the law.
You know the medical
words. You told me about my
physical condition, just like
many doctors have. You
would have my medical status
reexamined, and cut my pen
sion, or take it all away. You
would prosecute me and the
editor of the paper.
If I believed you, I might
pack and leave, but I don't.
I know lots of good, doctors
here, and they are men with
principles. You don't have tha
world in a jug and the stop
per in your hand, as you try
to make me believe.
Now, would-be brainwash
er, come from behind the
brushpile before someone sets
it on fire.
You talked like a Gestapo.
You said you would come
over, take me out and give
me a flogging. I know what
that word means, and if you
still have that idea in your
head, you'd better just think
until' you get it out, before
you try that. : "
A woman's voice was on,
one of the calls. I have al
ways tried to respect ladies.
But the words you said to
me on the telephone, I would
not talk to a dog the way you
talked to me, with the lan
guage you used. I don't sea
why the phone company
would let you keep one. If
you knew how stupid it
sounds you would stop it.
Now, you that called and
said you had not yet seen an
apology in the paper, you
read this. This is all you gets
If you call again I want to
talk to you. Come out of the
dark. '-"
