Curious Kennedy Campaign
Sen. John F. Kennedy did not say in Oregon
last week that the fiber of the American people
is not as tough as it used to be.
He did not complain that we have become
fat and lazy and smug and complacent. He did
not assert that we are shallow materialists, thrill
seekers and television slobs. He did not charge
that we cheat on income taxes and pad expense
accounts. He did not hint that an alarming num
ber of our politicial leaders are eager to be bribed.
He did not observe that we corrupt our children
with too much money and too little love.
The Democratic presidential candidate did
not say any of these tnings. But if he had said all
of them, he might have been near to the truth.
CEN. Kennedy did declare in Oregon that the
United States is "a great country" and that
the American people are a strong and vital people-
But if we expect to lead the free world to vic
tory over communism, "we can be, we must be,
a greater nation," the senator added.
This is the theme of the Kennedy campaign.
It was enunciated at the Democratic national con
vention in Lps Angeles and it was reiterated last
week in Oregon, Washington and California.
It is a curious campaign. The American people
are asked to respond to a promise that they will
be called upon to work harder, study harder,
think harder and perhaps give up some of their
luxuries.
"I don't run for the office of the presidency
promising that life is going to be easier," Ken
nedy declares. "I think in many ways the 1960s
are going to be the most difficult years of our
lives."
TfHE Massachusetts senator believes that "the
future belongs to us," but he is not saying that
it automatically belongs to us.
If the American people cannot bear to be told
the truth, if it is unwise for a candidate for the
presidency to call these . disasters to their atten
tion, then Kennedy is doomed to defeat.
But we do not think it
American people will rise to the challenge. What
ever their faults and they have many we think
they are tough. We think they are eager to move
again. We think they will make whatever sac
rifice, whatever effort is
supremacy of the United
of life. .
They need only one
dedicated leadership.

' Doesn't that sound reasonable?
So we thought. But every election year the
opposite idea is put forward by persons who
should know better.
THE current gospel in this line is that anybody
who criticizes our country's defense policy,
or its position in the world picture, is a rat. He's
trying to frighten the public. He's trying to delude
the Soviets into attacking, under the impression
the U.S. can't resist. :
This is what we see in our big-city cousin, the
Portland Oregonian. Its editorial writers are
afflicted with a malady like the seven-year itch
or the full-moon madness. It s sort of election
vear wackiness.
They ask, "Has Kennedy made you fearful?"
Kennedy's sin, it seems, is criticizing U.S. defense

With Nlkt-

JOSEPH ALSOP SUCH" -
way here as an uninvited
guest, it is certainly well to
bear this point in mind. Even
the smallest possibility of a
Sino-Soviet break could be
counted on to exert great
pressure on Khrushchev. But
the evidence suggests that
the possibility is not small. It
is no slim chance now, but a
rather strong possibility.
In the accumulating mass
of evidence, three items have
special significance. Pride of
place should probably go to
the publication in the Soviet
Union, about three weeks
ago, o f articles pointedly
proving that China could not
successfully "build socialism
without Soviet aid. The first
vehicles chosen were obscure
provincial newspapers, like
Soviet Latvia" and "The
Baku Worker," but the Len
ingrad "Pravda" later fol
lowed suit.
nnHIS kind of planned, only
-1- seemingly casual, publica
tion is an old Kremlin de
vice for conveying a quiet
but grim warning. And these
articles were the first to put
the name of "China" in cold
print. The Chinese comrades
had previously been called
"blasphemers" by the Rus
sians, but not by name.
Second the leading Soviet
theoretician and Presidium
member spoke to both the
Moscow and Leningrad Com
munist party committees in
late July. These speeches are
now pretty well known to
have contained a warning o'
a possible break in "party re
lations" with the Chinese
Communists. The aim was
obviously to prepare the rank
and file.
Third, more and more con
firmation has been received
by the earlier reports of a
massive exodus of Soviet
technicians who have been
assisting China's industrial!
zatlon program. There is no
doubt here, any longer, that
an exodus has taken place
According to the best local
estimate, no less than two-
thirds of the Russians who
were working In China have
now been ordered home.
N addition to these highly
indicative items, there is a
growing mass of data of a
background nature. The first
formal Soviet attack on the
Chinese was a stern docu
ment circulated at the Bucha
rest meeting of Communist
leaders in June. At the same
meeting, Khrushchev elabo
rated on the document, with
even greater vehemence and
anger, in a long speech. This
speech, or something like it,
was then sent out as second
circular by the Soviet Cen
tral Committee in July.
There are also reports of a
third circular, of the same
character.
No Intact copy of any of
these portentous papers has
as yet fallen Into western
hands. But extensive chunks
of texts from both the Bucha
rest document and the second
circular are now available
for study by official Sovie
tologists. The language is
thought to leave no room for
anything except substantial
Chinese surrender to the So
viet viewpoint, or an eventu-
Sovtct break with the
Chinese.
It remains entirely possible,
of course, that some sort of
Sino-Sovlct compromjfe will
yet be found. In mid-October.
Khrushchev is due to go to

pected to meet privately with
Mao Tse-tung or Mao's repre
sentative. This will affo. d
Mao a chance to back down
gracefully if he wishes to do
so.
If this fails, however, the
betting will be rather better
than even on an open Sino
Soviet break at the meeting
of Communist leaders over
all the world that is expected
to be held in Moscow. In ap
parent preparation for this
eventuality, the Kremlin has
already been making great
and successful efforts to gain
support against China in all
key countries. North Vietnam
and North Korea have lately
fallen into line, leaving Pe
king almost wholly isolated.
AET before anyone begins
cheering about this possibility-
of the worst sort of
trouble in the Soviet bloc,
the subject of the dispute had
better be weighed.
The Soviets have been ar
guing that Communism can
win the world without mili
tary risks, by the methods of
peaceful co-existence. The
Chinese have been insisting
on the need for more aggres
sive methods on the need to
take quite serious risks of
war, in fact. And they have
been simultaneously arguing
that the war-risks will not be
very serious anyway, because
the "imperialists are paper
tigers."
In other words, the Chi
nese seem to have been chal
lenging the long-established
Soviet veto on their own ag
gressions. If the Soviets think
the challenge is . serious
enough to require a break
with the Chinese, it can mean

Editorial Said Unfair
To the Editor: Your editor
ial "How Much Help for
Vets?" is a very weak article.
You refer to the "G.I. Bill
of Rights." There was no
G.I. Bill of Rights, in or for
many years after World War
I.
There were many of us
veterans of World War I,
who were totally disabled
during that war, and we have
been denied a cure for the
cause, if there is any.
There are many of us vet
erans in the same circum
stance, although each per
son's problems are entirely
different from the other.
Take my case for an ex
ample. Cn May 20 I enlisted.
On June 14 I started hav
ing eye trouble (conjunctivi
tis). On June 20, 1918, I enter
ed the Army hospital; about
July 14, I returned to my
company. The next morning
I went on sick call, and was
sent back to the hospital. On
July 23 I was released from
the hospital.
Since then, I have had a
permanent disability from
eye trouble, service connect
ed.
On Sept. 27, our company
entered a gas pocket (a val
ley full of gas). Since then I
have had a nose condition
(Injured membranes). An
other service connected dis
ability.
On Sept. 28, I was wound
ed (gun shot wound just
above left elbow). On my
way back to the field hospi
tal, was given a spinal shot,
that caused a varicocele, an
other service connected dis
ability. On December 14, 1957 39
years after my record of eye
condition the Veterans Ad
ministration was so generous
that they allowed me 10 per
cent service connection for my
eye condition,
Nothing for gunshot wound

of the gas or varicocele.
On Oct. 21, 1997, at my age

status from 10 per cent serv
ice, connected to non-service-connected
and gave me $78.75
per month.
I am paying $40 per month
for a place to live a totally
disabled man not able to
work and still in your words
I am not entitled to a pension.
Now, that is my condition,
and for every 10 people (vet
erans of World War I) you
show me that are not entitled
to a living, I'll show you 90
that are.
I believe your article is very
unfair.
Just because the Veterans
of World War II were given
so much, there are too many
people that say," What did
do with yours?"
If you look up the facts, we

Log Trucks
To the Editor: Regarding
the three log truck drivers
tound innocent in city court
(Friday, Sept. 9 Mail Tribune).
Judge Holmes stated that the
city failed to prove that the
vehicles were not under con
trol. I do not know what all
violations the basic rule cov
ers. If it does not cover speed
ing in a posted zone ot 20
miles per hour, then the ar
resting officers are not on the
ball. And as to the judge.
I have followed loads of
logs at different times in the
past years from Riverside and
Stewart avenues, on Riverside
to Jackson St., and the rate of
speed was 25 to 40 miles per
hour, and all the other motor
ists moved to one side or an
other, just like for a fire de
partment siren. They have
iearned to respect a load of
logs.
Now I have been wondering
why they are not stopped. The
case mentioned above has fur
nished me somewhat of an
answer,
I do not wish to go on rec
ord that all log truck drivers
are violators. I have noted and
will say that one out of four
is.
Some folks might say what
business it is of mine trying
to make an issue of it. Well,
my answer is this. I have had
some mighty close calls.
One time I never will for
get happened on Hyatt rd. just
of Highway 66. I noticed a
logging truck coming at a high
rate of speed. The road is very
crooked and not too wide. So
I pulled to my right as far as
possible and stopped. I could
see the driver pulling on his
steering wheel for all he was
worth. And somehow he did
miss knocking me off the
road.
There were two other log
trucks within five minutes
and I must say they were cau
tious and no excess speed

More on Ghost Towns
To the Editor: I've had sev
eral . requests for more about
ghost towns.
I would say a ghost town
is a once-prosperous village
that has been deserted for
new diggings.
Perhaps it was once a tim
ber or mining settlement be
fore its source of supply ran
out.
If it hasn't been vacated
too long, it brings memories
to some, and former residents
may return; perhaps meet cx-
ncighbors there and sitting in
some remembered nook-reminisce
on by-gone days.
If very, very old and over
grown with weedy tanglea
tion, it is rightly named a
"Ghost Town." One doesn't
have to believe in ghosts to
feel their presence there.
Did you ever stand in the
big Redwoods - simply spell
bound - hardly wanting to
breathe for fear of breaking
the silence? That's the way I
feel when exploring dead
towns.

with no more authority than
the existing Strasbourg assem

sic structure of NATO and put
the great defense decisions in
the hands of a triumvirate
composed of America, Britain
and France. He would end the
integration of armies, navies
and air forces and be content
with the old system of consul
tation. He would extend the
cooperation of the triumvirate

to come out every time I ala
my lunch, and when I washed
dishes. I almost got gray head
ed tiging to figure out how I
was going to get him outside.
One day I got the brilliant
idea of opening up the back
door. Mr. Lizard felt that
fresh air and out the door he
went.
I'm scared to even open that
heater door any more, expect
ing another lizard to plop out.

Vol Right
To the Editor:
Election year, election year,
Here it is again, at hand;
With promises by the bushel
Being scattered o'er the
land.
If people would just pause a
bit,
And listen in with me,
I could straighten things out
for them,
As plain as plain could be.
The first thing to remember
is;
The fellow on my side,
Is the gentleman to vote for.
I point to him with pride.
His opponent is a rascal,
A man you cannot trust:
Don't rely upon a man,
Who's just another bust.
So, stay along with me, my
friend,
And I will keep you
straight.
I'll explain just how to pick
The ones that really rate.
It's so very, very simple,
As I said here once before:
It's the fellow who's on my
side.
Of whom you can be sure.
He always says the proper
things.
His speeches are superb;
He's decent, clean and hon
est.
There's nothing there to
curb.
His grasp on matters foreign,
Are exactly wnat i think.
He's forthright, frank and
fearless;
From the truth he will not
shrink.
His message to the farmers
Is inspired from above;
He offers them the proper
tnings,
Along with brotherly love.
To the paupers, there will be
no slums;
To the workers, always
work.
My man just has everything;
He will never, never shirk.
Ask him any question;
He 11 have an answer, sure.
How can you better a man
like this,
So good, so fine and pure?
Now, let us step across the
line,
Upon the other side.
And see what they can offer,
lo stem our worthy tide.
Why! they're nothing but a
bunch of crooks,
And slickers, too. at that!
You'de be about as safe with
them
As a robin with our cat.
Their leader tries to make a
speech,
And everything is wrone:
He mis-informs the public,
with the same, old, sorry
song.
Hen ever seems to get things
straight.
He's never quite' in line:
Yet, the fellows over on his
side think ,
He's brilliant, witty and
fine.
How can you believe such
gaff as that?
You know it can't be true.
He's simply using great big
words
To keep us in a stew. '
We're willing to wreck th
treasury
To pay ud all our bills.
We're going to be strictly
honest,
Even though it gives us
chills.
Now the olher side won't do
that.
They say they'll take th
axe,
And if they are elected,
Keduce the income-tax.
Can you believe such trios
as that?
I'm telling you for sure,
Rather than reduce our tax
They'll probably ask for
more.
And so it goes, on down th
line.
Our boys, are alwava right:
Those rascals on the other
side, -
Are putting up a fight.
They want to be in office.
With their fingers in th
Pie. ,
So, I think the time has com
To really do or die.
Now, all of you vote for my
oman,
Let's change the political
weather,
And, if I've made one slight
mistake. ,
We'll all go down together.
,'. G.H.E.
