The Billboard Argument
Some of our good friends who write editorials
are finding many things wrong with a proposal
that you will find on your ballot at the November
election.
The proposal is that the erection of billboards
on some hiorhwavs in Orecron be reirulated.
There have been efforts for many years in
Oregon by groups and individuals to regulate bill
board advertising on highways. Their efforts
were accelerated recently when the Congress stip
ulated, within legislation which provides federal
funds for re-building of transcontinental high
ways, that those states which regulated billboards
on highways would be granted additional federal
funds for highway construction.
IN THE opinion of these Oregon people there
always has been ample justification for reg
ulation of the construction ot billboards on highways.
They can point to the
Oregon landscapes with
their case well. The federal highway construction
bill onlv served to stimulate their camnaien.
Principal objections
tms seem to be :
The federal government is bribing the states
to control billboards. This is an infringement up
on freedom of speech. Any advertising that is
truthful and decent should be permitted any
where. It billboard advertising is controlled news
paper advertising will be next.
"N THE first point, it seems to us that because
the federal government is providing billions
of dollars for building
highways, it has the right
routes be kept op free of
On the second and
advertising is unlike newspaper, radio or tele
vision advertising. Nobody is compelled to read
an advertisement in a newspaper or purchase a
newspaper; anybody can tune out any advertising
he dislikes on radio and TV. The billboard ad
vertisers have a captive audience, the people who
travel the highways.
On the third point,
measure on the Oregon ballot proposes to reg
ulate billboard advertising is not unfair or unjust.
It specifies that there can be billboard adver
tising at all highway approaches to all cities for
the convenience of motorists. All the motorist
wants to know about services and products avail
able in that city can be told him adequately on
billboards at the approaches to the city.
T'HIS won't put the billboard companies out of
business. Far from it.
It will confine billboard advertising to meet
ing the needs of motorists.
Any other inteprctations of the regulatory
measure are muddying the waters and missing
the point. Pendleton East Oregonian.
A Sorry Record
World Refugee Year, in which 88 countries
and territories joined efforts to rescue 15 million
persons without homes, has now been counted a
dismal flop. And as a black eye for "free na
tions," i.e., the U.S.
Officially, the 12-month campaign to assist
displaced persons ended on July 1. And, as it
ended, it had resulted in total monetary contribu
tions of less than half the $12 million sought to
help two million "hard core" DP's considered
most desperately in need of assistance.
COME of these most unfortunate of the home-
less have languished in European camps for
10 years. Many are refugees from behind the
Iron Curtain, families who risked their lives to
find homes in free nations and are are still yearn
ing, waiting, hoping.
To be sure, World Refugee Year did result
in some good. A number of nations eased laws
governing the admission of displaced persons.
But without funds of their own and with inter
national charity failing to measure anywhere near
their aggregate needs for relocation funds, mil
lions of DPs were unable to go to lands where
they might now be legally admitted.
THE U.S. Congress appropriated $10 million to
help the World Refuge Year program, but
only half of this sum was ever put to such usage.
Anil even with the intense publicity given the
DP's problems, private voluntary agencies in this
nation were able to raise only 20 per cent more
than they normally obtain for refuge aid.
In contrast, Great Britain raised $21.0 million
specifically for World Refugee Year. In this per
spective, it is not difficult to understand that the
image of the U.S. has been tarnished and and
that displaced persons remaining in European
camps now mutter bitterly about the insincerity
of U.S. propaganda broadcasts which they heard
before they tied to "freedom" and which they
still hear while they live in virtual captivity from
which they despair of being liberated. Eugene

CAMPAIGN CHANGES
Washington - Richard M.
Nixon's presidential campaign
is under going significant

! strategic plun
j nine, These
M ( nltortitlons are
SHCf, based upon a
"we ; Rfl anurp ru-uvui-
uation of the
outlook in the
south and bor
der states.
The Nixon
belief now is
that Son. John F. Kennedy,
t h e Democratic presidential
candidate, will not be so
strong in those areas as the
Republicans themselves had
supposed after Sen. Lyndon
B. Johnson of Texas consent
ed to take second place on llio
Kennedy ticket.
The Vice-Presidents first
campaign sortie into the south
into North Carolina - has
produced many optimistic
statements from the Nixon
camp. Such statements arc,
of course, standard stuff. Pub
licly, you always shout that
everything is looking better
and better. In this cuse, how
ever, theso claims are more
than routine propaganda, This
time, the Nixon people really
believe their own press re
leases.
TIXON'S reception In North
' Carolina h u s genuinely
convinced him he ought to
put a great deal more effort
into the south than he had
any Intention of putting only
weeks ago.
This conclusion is by no
means solely based upon the
fact that the GOP civil rights
plank is relatively less ad
vanced than that of the Demo
crats. (True, Nixon is not at
II neglecting this point.) It
arises more from Nixon's re
discovery of a basic fact of
political life. This Is that,
wholly apart from civil rights,
the south tends to be marked
ly conservative.
Topic A - civil rights - so
fascinates many politicians,
and some political observers,
that llicy don't realize tills: If
nobody had ever heard of the
civil rights issue, the whole
tone of the Democratic con
vention platform - incompar
ably the most liberal ever
written by a major party in
this country - would still be
pretty bitter medicine in the
south. Maybe it will still be
swallowed; but at best it
won't go down easily.
IT IS equally true that many
(and Nixon himself origin
ally was among them) have
m i s u n d c r stood Johnson's
probable plus - value to the
Democratic campaign. The

would automatically "take
care" of the south never had
any validity.
The professional liberals
who so bitterly resisted John
son's efforts to obtain the top
nomination were fooled by
their own stereotypes: John
son was a Texan. Texas was
in the south. Ergo, Johnson
was a "southern politician."
The fact is that he never was
any kind of typical southern
er, either in personal attitudes
or political views. When he
tried to say he was more
western than southern he was
telling the simple truth.
Indeed, It Is entirely pos
sible that before the race Is
over Johnson will be seen to
have been of at least as much
assistance to Kennedy outside
the south - specifically In the
midwest farm belt has been,
It. He Is and always has been,
In southern terms, much too
liberal. His real opposition in
Texas has always come from
the old-southern wing of the
party.
rpiIE Nixon people, at any
-- rate, are catching on to
this situation, The Vice-President
is thus now arranging to
go south moro frequently,
more determinedly and more
hopefully than he had ever
expected to do. Ho now be
lieves that In some southern
states he might do better than
President Eisenhower d i d,
either in 1D52 or 1958.
The purpose is to present
Richard Nixon as holding firm
civil rights views - but far
less advanced views than the
Democrats; as a sober, digni
fied man and a prudent man
on "spending"; as a poor boy
who came up the hard way
through a southern law school
(Duke university) while Jack
Kennedy was living it up as a
rich boy at Harvard.

To the Editor: As you know,
Governor Hatfield and a

in Medford Wednesday, Aug.

to get suggestions from people
in the valley as to any ideas
they may have for changes
and Improvements at the slate
level.
This meeting will be open
to the general public and I
should like to urge all League
of Women Voters to attend
and to urge their friends to
attend. This is a fine oppor
tunity for the individual citi
zen to contribute his thinking
on how state government
should operate.
Let's show the governor

have this chance to express
their ideas and wishes on how
the state should operate.

Solemn Event Coming
To the Editor: One is made
well aware that all is not well
when he reads, sees, or hears
what is transpiring In this
world of ours.
We note J. Edgar Hoover's
,nnnr( in T, ir,c.-l 1- m.
, th V ,
une. lhe upsurge of crime has
been reported to be the high-
est in the west. Crimes of vio
lence are up 19 per cent and
property crimes 15 per cent.
The other day a good friend
of mine who has a cabin up
in a secluded spot spent the
day cutting some winter
wood. Yesterday he went up
to haul it and it was all gone.
Just a few weeks ago near
the same spot a elderly gen
tleman gave permission to a
young fellow to secure water
from his well. Upon filling
the bucket the boy threw its
contents all over the elderly
man. At the same time this
boys' friends were thumbing
their noses at this man and
saying things we wouldn't re
peat here.
This is just a small example
soldiers and one civilian
along with the increased pace
of terror attacks, thus far
have not produced any major
reaction on public opinion in
France. That is due primarily
to the fact that in August vir
taully the whole French na
tion has its mind on vacations.
But when the holiday season
is over next month, pro-settler
propagandists are likely
to go to work full-blast In
another effort to force Presi
dent Charles de Gaulle away
from his conciliatory policy
of the result of the luck of
proper parental training.
We are so busy now in our
mad rush to make the next
dollar that we are letting our
children rush on to the road
that leads to perdition. I
know from experience that
this fast pace we find our
selves in can lead down. In
fact a sick bed experience
gave me some time to think.
We ale so busy now that we
don't have time even to visit
the sick and infirm. I used
to feci that way too, but now
I find that one must take the
lime. Many golden hours are
squandered in useless and
non-essential practices. What,
may I ask, are wo humans
here for? Just to gratify our
own likes and dislikes?
One of these days, sooner
than any of us realize, our
Heavenly Parent is going to
call us to give an account.
Will we be ready for that,
the most solemn event In all

Information Sought
To the Editor: I am writing
to your paper in the hope that
some of your readers may as
sist us in satisfactorily com
pleting a project of historical
interest.
For some time now we have
been attempting to trace the
route, camps and grave sites
of the lost wagon train of
1845 which traveled through
Eastern and Central Oregon in
late summer and early fall of
that year.
The train, estimated at over
200 wagons, left old Ft. Boise
on the banks of the Snake
river and traveled eventually
to The Dalles under the guid
ance of Stephen II. L. Meek,
brother of Joe Meek. Their
hardships were great; over 40
deaths resulted from their ill
advised attempt to shortcut
the old Oregon Trail to The
Dalles.
Many versions have been
handed down; many stories
told. Since this is the train
that discovered gold-Inter to
be the source of intensive
searches for the lost Blue
Bucket mine-much specula
tion and theory has been re
pented as fact.
We hope eventually to es
tablish the main and divergent
tracks of this hardy group,
but after 115 years the task
is a difficult one.
If any of your readers can
aid In identifying members of
the train, or disclosing addi
tional sources of information
about the route, or feel they
have any information which
could help, that help will be
most gratefully received. They
are urged to write to the fol

Adenauer Successor
Informed insiders In Bonn
say that Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer quietly has accom
modated himself to the Idea
that Economics Minister Lud
wlg Erhard will succeed him
nt the helm In West Germany.
But they add that Adenauer
still Is not willing to formally
Indorse Erhard for the top
job. He will cling to his post
ns long as -his health permits,
and then. bow out without pin
pointing a successor. But, this
time, also without fighting Er
hard as he did a year ago.
Then, he surprised the whole
Free World by reversing his
decision to run for president
and yield the political leader
ship to younger hands. He
hung on as chancellor, a post
for which he will be opposed
next year by popular West
Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt.
But the same inside sources
say Adenauer is "not at all
afraid" of Brandt as a rival
for political power.
Nationalist Chinese .
To many Nationalist Chi
nese, the Democratic party In
the United States looks like
the friendly undertaker, Itch
ing to bury Chiang Kai-Shek.
But Chiang's Kuomlntang ad
ministration is convinced all
the way that Washington's
China policy faces no change
under the Republicans. How
ever, while worried about the
Democrats, the Nationalists
doubt that any radical over
night change would occur in
U.S.-China policy, no mntter
whether Sen. John Kennedy
or Vice President Richard
Nixon replaces President Ei
senhower. What they seem to
fear is a gradual corroding of
American interests in For
mosa at the very moment

about - no we can't shoot the
senior citizens. Too humane.

In the Days News
Br FRANK JENKINS
The big news as this is writ
ten Is the verdict In the Pow
ers trial. The big point of the
verdict is the Russians chose
LENIENCY rather than ven
geance.
WHY?
One can only guess. The
hpat 0ueaM aeems to be that
the rulers of Russia came to
the conclusion that thev could
gain more by showing mercy
than by mulcting me ages-oia
penalty of death for the con
victed spy.
At any rate, the death pen
alty wasn't asked for. If it
had been asked for, it would
hnv hppn inflicted. We must
remember that this was no
ordinary court, In the sense
that we of the free world
understand courts.
It was a big show.
THERE was an Interesting
sidelight.
As soon as the verdict was
announced, the dispatches tell
us, the capacity audience in
the Hall of Columns in the
Soviet Trade Union building
where the "trial" was held
broke Into stormy applause.
The audience was composed
almost exclusively of Rus
sians. That seems to indicate
that the policy of leniency In
dicated by the "verdict" is
popular among the Russian
people.
WHY Is that Interesting?
Well, if the time should
come when the rulers of Rus
sia felt that cultivating the
good opinion of the PEOPLE
of Russia was worth while, it
would mean something.
It would mean that the
rulers of Russia FEARED the
Russian people. One of the
lessons of history Is that when
despotic ruler9 begin to fear
the people it is a good sign.
