To ioimV Fine Plan, Project Twenty-Twelve, a loner rancre nrocxam for development of public lands and facilities under control of the Interior Department, was sent Congress recently by Interior Secretary Sea ton, The Cabinet member glowingly described it as a program aimed at the ultimate national good through full development of public lands and their crops, whether timber,-grass, recreation, or anything else. Although copies of Project Twenty-Twelve have not reached these provinces, it seems likely Seaton is correct. IF SO, the staff people in Interior who prepared the plan are to be complimented, especially so if Project Twenty-Twelve comes up to the stand ard set a little more than a year ago by the De partment of Agriculture's Program For the Na tional Forests. The latter was sent to Congress by Agriculture as a 20-year, step-by-step program for development of the National Forest lands, aiming at sustained yield and full utilization, as well as multiple use. It laid down how much would be spent each year to accomplish the goal. Atrnculture developed National Forests alter requests ior a long-term program were repeatedly made by Congressional appropriations committees. It seemed to some members of these powerful groups that fund re quests for public land uses from the Executi 2 Department were not planned over a long enough term to make good use of the money. They want ed to know where the public lands were "head ing." iROJECT Twenty - Twelve, which is even a lontrer term nlan. seems to be the Interior Department's answer to same sources which prompted the Program For the National Forests. But all is not quite right with the idea of plan ning forest and public the long haul. The Program For the National Forests which met so much approval in Congress and elsewhere last year apparently did not sink through to the Administration ' which proposed it. When the 1960-61 fiscal year budget came up from the White House last spring there was no mention of the Forest Service's program, and more im portant, no request for money to implement the first year of it. Congressmen, especially those from timber-producing states, as well as conser vationists in general, were S.THIS the fate we can expect for the Interior Department's Project Twenty-Twelve? These plans make excellent propaganda, sent to Congress and released ing-statements extolling merits 01 the plan and of the Administration which had the foresight to Drenare it. At last, it would seem, a comprehen sive conservation program But announcing a plan two different things; The gram For the National Forests which has been stalled, but happily not stopped, at least yet does not oooe wen, ior Coos Bay World. ' (A slory concerning Project Twenty-Twelve ap pears on Page 2B of today's Mail Tribune.) Isolated From What? One silly turn, it seems, deserves another. Havine determined to restrict Messrs. Khru shchev, Kadar and Shehu to Manhattan Island during their visit to the United Nations treneral Assembly, the Administration was bound to fol low with Dr. Castro. If now Mao Tse-tung or Patrice Lumumba should decide to attend, pre sumably the Administration would seek to con fine them to a telephone the East River. What otherwise would be a praiseworthy de cision by President Eisenhower himself to speak to the General Assemblv and nresent snecific United States proposals inevitably will be overshadowed by this cloud oi negativism. DESTRICTIONS on travel are repugnant to American tradition and belief. There will seem to be no reason for them except pique and petulance. Security is undoubtedly a genuine con sideration; but the Administration could have warned clearly of the dangers without itself im posing a ban. It could have said to the uninvited visitors that they were liked but that personal protection could be guar anteed only in New York. Well, we are very sorry, for we think that all of this shows the worst face of the United States and the most myopic side of American policy to the world. It presents a free propaganda issue to this country's detractors. And it also casts a pall over any travel plans of dent Nasser, for both of whom a tour of the unit ed States would be useful. TPHE purpose of the been explained, is to "isolate Mr. Khru shchev. Far from isolating either Mr. Khrushchev or Dr. Castro, it isolates the United States from world support and automatically creates sympa thy for the victims of what will seem to be sheer harassment.

' He's a Good Guy , To the Editor: "Name on File (M-T, Sunday, Sept. 18) should get a driver's training manual which would tell him or her that the basic rule is "having your vehicle under control at all limes." Now, to the gripe about the log trucks, I wonder how many times they have pulled out into the lane of traffic in front of a log truck, saying to themselves, "Oh, well, I don't want to follow that slow truck, so I'll just pull out and if he hits me that is his fault for following too closely." I can't count the number of times this very situation has happened to my husband, and only by very good driving he was able to avoid an acci dent. Another thing, I wonder if "Name on File" realizes that the logger, whether he is a driver or in the woods, in reality, is the support of this valley. It is my understanding that the PUC taxes are used to build new roads and to main tain the old ones. My husband pays a tax of $15 for a 192 mile trip. Then he has the rough roads tearing up his tires. On top of that there is insurance, fuel and general upkeep. He works on the av erage of 18 hours a dy. He is earning several times over the little he gets. The truckers know that if they maintain the right speed, they can go all the way down Riverside without having to stop. But they can't do that if they are speeding. Show a little kindness to the poor log truck driver. He really is a good guy, just try ing to earn an honest living. Ella L. Fltzsimmons Route 4, Box 400 Mcdford Meteor To the Editor: Tuesday eve ning around 8 p.m. I sighted a huge fireball the size of a volley vail traveling miles per second towards the earth in a northly-east direction from Mcdford.

Medtord Socialised Medicine To the Editor: Tuesday's ed itorial on socialized medicine has much truth in it, but I Try and Stop Mo By BENNETT CERF "T0 YOU KNOW why the number thirteen is unlucky?" - asks one of the characters in John Kersey's compelling new book, The Child Buyer. "Probably because primitive man learned to count by using his 10 fingers and 2 feet Anything beyond 12 was mysterious and unlucky. "Turning to money, many people abhor $3 bills because they are supposedly unlucky, yet it's the $1 bill that has 13 letters on it in 'H Pluribus Unum, 13 let ters in 'Annult Coeptis,' 13 stripes in the shield, 13 leaves, 13 berries, 13 stars, and 13 arrows!" Spotted this ad in a London newspaper: "Wanted: young man to learn the advertising; buslnesa in an old established agency. Good opportunity for son of a, large national advertiser." Joe Hi Lewis confides that he's gone on ft balanced diet: Two Wghballi In each hand. ... MP I UB ISNT" STICKING HIS TONGUE OUT QlTKo FAR IN THIS ONE .... V feel, not that, It misses the point, but rather, it does not fire at it. Most thinking doctors re alize that it would be possible to make more money and en joy shorter hours under a so cialized plan. Socialism would probably also include paid va cations and other fringe bene fits. However, the possibility of reducing paperwork is ludi crous - if anything, it would increase in triplicate. Many doctors, like myself, have served their term of so cialized medicine in the mili tary. I had more spending money, free time and benefits than I have now; however, the practice of my art suffered as did that of my fellows. It is this reason that I argue against socialism in medicine. I have never met a person who thought that military medicine was comparable to civilian medicine. I am cer tain that they are right and it is not. The professional man in the fact that he has chosen a profession over busi ness, of an independent na ture. When he is legislated to the status of a civil employee, as in the military, he tends to treat his patients as cus tomers and quantity replaces quality. When an exciting pro fession is reduced to monot ony, as it was in service, its practitioners are sorely press ed to refrain from mediocrity. You continually throw so cialized medicine in England up to your readers as a work able and enjoyable solution but you forget (or do not know) that socialism and pri vate practice both exist there. If you were a cancer sufferer in London would you consult a socialized clinic or a Harley Street specialist for relief? Please withhold my name If you choose to print this. (Name on File - D.D.S.) Medtord Hot Potato To the Editor: I may have missed it, but having followed every session of the last Dem ocratic convention in Los An geles I failed to note one word spoken on the subject of big otry until Mrs. Eleanor Roose velt was allowed the stand. Being there along with wisccrackcr Stevenson for the avowed purpose of stopping Kennedy, she took advantage of the occasion to remark that she was happy to note that the subject of bigotry had not been brought Into the convention.

That last remark by Mrs. E. R. apropos the handling of the Russian delegation to the U. N. was just another sneak punch. But now that she is, perforce, in the Kennedy' camp it is aimed at the pres ent' Republican administra tion. It is not pleasant to con template the sleazy slickness of the outside and the slimy putridity of the inside of our national political platter as held up to our view by some of our pseudo leaders. Isn t it enough that we are divided racially, but that we should be. cast, pell mell, into the hatreds and visciousness of a religious division?

Albacore Tuna Said Not Biting 1 Seattle - (UPI) - The Fisher men's Co-Operative Associa tion Wednesday reported that Albacore tuna were sighted off the Washington coast, but that the fish weren't biting. "The fish are southwest of Grays Harbor, but there's no action in them," Bert John son, manager ot the associa tion, said. Meanwhile, the few fisher men who have been catching Albacore are faced with the lowest price in IS years. Johnson said prices have been dropped to $273 a ton in Southern California canneries. The price is the same at Coos Bay, Ore., and Westport, Wash., but fish taken to those two spots have to be trucked to a cannery. The Aator.lt, Ore., cannery lias been paying $300 a ton dents used to writing home ot an unending series of person al triumphs for their leader, have been unable to disguise the fact that the circumstanc es of his arrival have been less than successful. Move Suggested It drew from Pravda, the Communist newspaper in Mos cow, the bitter suggestion that "the United Nations cannot work calmly in America" and that the time, had come to shift the U.N. headquarters to another city. . "American authorities," it said, "intentionally create, a hindrance jn the activities of the United Nations.? . . Pravda added that United States security regulations limiting Khrushchev to Man hattan Island proved that the Transistorized Cogitation' Upstaging Human Cerebration By DICK WEST Washington-OIPIt-The day Is coming, I do believe, when a thinking man won't even be trusted to choose his own cigarette filter. ; . - 'This will be done for him by one of those eiectron ic brains, which will know better than the smok er himself just what his tastes are and what brand suits him. Some indication of the in roads that transistorized cogi tation already has made into human cerebration can be seen in a ' report published by a House subcommittee on the use of electronic com puters by the federal gov ernment. "Electronic data processing generaUy should be restricted to operations which are im portant in the making of deci sions , . . the ability of elec tronic data-processing equip ment to make simple, prepro gramed decisions should be fully exploited," the report says. If I interpret these lines correctly, and I am sure that the government and I don't Today & Tomorrow By Walter THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE . The exchanges between the Protestant ministers and Sen. Kennedy have jiot settled the "religious is sue." But they have clarified It. There could have been no such thing as ignor lng or sup pressing the issue. The only effect of not discussing it openly would have been to leave the whole discussion to fester in the dark, anony mously and maliciously.1 No doubt the black propaganda will continue. . But at least there now exists a respectable and responsible discussion of the issue. 'Thanks to the initiative of the Protestant minister a 1 1 the honest and decent fears and doubts about a Catholic for president have been stated and placed before Sen. Ken nedy. He in turn has reacted, not with resentment but, by recognizing that the question is "very important," that ' a discussion of it is legitimate, that the Protestant ministers had the right to interrogate him, and that he does not regard their doing this -as "prejudiced or bigoted." Sen. Kennedy's reaction to the ministers' questions, which were sharp and search ing, was extremely interesting and important. He might have explained that to raise ques tions about his religion was a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, that the min isters were setting up a re ligious test for public office. But he did not . do that. On the contrary, he chose to rec ognize that the questions rais ed by the ministers were real questions, not slanderous fab rications, and that an Amer ican Catholic running for pres ident must answer them. THE . questions ' put to Sen. Kennedy arise, according to the ministers, from the at tempts of the Catholic church "to exercise control over its members in political and civic affairs." The crucial point is whether the authority of the Catholic hierarchy or the con science of the office holder is to determine what is and what is not a political and civic affair. The case of tho Protes tant ministers against Sen. Kennedy is that "while the current Roman Catholic con tender for the presidency s t a t s specifically that he 3 mat Walter Uonmanll selection of New York as a headquarters had been "un wise." There is no doubt that the U. S. action placing shackles on the head of a great nation is for Khrushchev a humiliat ing experience. It was one of two blows that befell him after the Baitika which carried him to New York, already had put out to sea. ... When he left Moscow, his friend Patrice Lumumba was riding high as the Russian approved premier of the Con go. ... There was reason to believe that Khrushchev could face the 'United Nations General Assembly with the. Congo safely in his pocket. always speak the same langiv age, they mean that tne com puters already have passed the mere bookkeeping stage and are now being used in an executive capacity. At last count, the govern ment had on hand 523 elec tronic computers, plus an un disclosed number used for se cret work in the Defense De partment. All but 17 built especially for the government were rented from commercial firms. One agency is paying $3, 103,250 a year for the use of a single computer. Fancy that! I doubt that Albert Einstein, who was about the best we had in the way of human brains, made that much in his entire lifetime. Nowhere in the report could I find any figures on the total annual cost of electronic brain work, but a telephone call to the subcommittee produced $150 million as an approxi mate figure. Under the Civil Service scale, a top-rated human thinker receives about $19, 000 a year. Thus, moneterily, the 506 rented machines rep resent about 150,000 homo sapiens. Assuming that the govern ment gets its money's worth out of the equipment, it fol- lippmann would not be so influenced (by the Catholic hierarchy in political and civic affairs), his church insists that he is duty bound to admit to its direc tion. This unresolved conflict leaves doubt in the minds of millions of our citizens." This leads to the precise question which Sen. Kennedy had to deal with. I think it can be stated this way. Where will be his paramount duty and loyalty on questions where, as for example birth control, the influence of the Catholic hierarchy has been used to impose by law on non - Catholics the Catholic doctrine? SEN. Kennedy's answer is that "I do not accept the right of . . . any ecclesiasti cal official, to tell me what I shall do in the sphere of my public responsibility as an elected official." This is a declaration that as an elected official he, and not the Cath olic hierarchy, will determine what lies within the sphere of his public responsibility. In this, the separation between church and state is as com plete as it can be made. But that is not the end of this story. The Protestant minis ters have probed still more deeply. They have raised the question whether a good Cath olic can be as independent and as secular as Sen. Ken nedy declares himself to be. The way the senator dealt with this loaded question is to my mind the most interest ing, the most significant, and the most creditable and con vincing thing, in the whole affair. . HIS answer was in effect that on the crucial ques tions of church and state not all Catholics think alike. His declaration' of freedom from ecclesiastical control in politi cal and civic affairs is "the opinion of the overwhelming majority of American Cath olics, and I have no doubt that my view is known to Cath olics around the world." His position, he asserted, is "a position of the American Cath olic church in the United States with which I am asso ciated." It is not the position of the Spanish Catholic church in Spain, or qf the Colombian Catholic church in Colombia. It is the position not ot all American Catholics but of "the overwhelming majority" of them. These are the answers of a yprave and truthful man. tc) 1960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. He arrived in New York un der far less favorable circum stances. Lumumba was out and so was Khrushchev's own diplomatic corps in the Congo. From the latter chain of events came the Russian at tack on U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and speculation that the Russians may now seek Hammar- skjold's ouster. However, -neither this nor a serious Russian move to change the U.N. headquarters seems likely now. Hammar skjold is firmly supported by the Afro-Asian nations whom Khrushchev now would not like to irritate. Further, New York provides the Russians with a listening Kost they would not like to lose. lows that electronic .brains can out-think the mortal va riety by a ratio of about 300 to 1. I don't know how you feel about this, but I'm discour aged. How, .for instance, are we going to convince our chil dren that education is im portant if they find out that 299 out of every 300 of them can be supplanted mentally by a few strands of wire and a couple of transistors? Some of them, of course, will be needed to operate the equipment. It is estimated that the number of federal computer personnel will jump from 4,000 in 1958 to 170,000 by 1966. But, by and large, it looks like brains will eventually be come obsolete, like rumble seats and rinnhio . k.ot.j - wttnoici, suits. I know of several gov ernment officials who already have stopped using theirs,. in the Days News By FRANK JENKINS ,, From East Lansing, Mich,: An ordinance setting a quo ta on the number of dogs and cats allowed local household ers has been adopted by the East Lansing city council. It limits pet-lovers to four cats or dogs or four of any combination of each as three cats and one dog, or one dog and three cats or two cats and two dogs. As long as the total number of cats and dogs doesn't add up to more than four, the householder will be left in peace by the city authori ties, that is. Irate neighbors will have no standing in court so long as the combined num ber of cats and dogs remains within the legal limit. TTMMMMMMMM! I'm afraid the city of East Lansing is leaning in the direction of GOVERNMENT RUN EVERYTHING. That's bad business. . OUT- ; . in this still free coun try, we must remember that the rights of each individual are limited by the rights of OTHER INDIVIDUALS. For example: You have a right to own a dog. But you have no right to let your dog annoy your neighbor ... by digging up his flower beds, if he hap pens to be a flower lover. You have a right to own a cat. But you have no right to let your cat catch and eat your neigh bor's birds, if he happens to be a bird lover. So, maybe the city of East Lansing isn't so far off base, at that. pETTING on with our slory " Raymond B. Campbell, city attorney , admits that some complex legal and hu mane problems are involved. For instance: If an. East Lansing cat has kittens or an East Lansing dog has pups, he says, the owner will be given a reasonable time to give them away, sell them, or otherwise dispose of them. ' "rVTHERWISE V them." dispose ' ot Those are weasel words. They could mean almost any thing. They could mean taking them out on a road, miles from anywhere, and dumping them. Or it could mean just deliberately moving away and DESERTING THEM. Imagine yourself as a cat . . .or, more particularly, a kitten . . . that has been a happy member of a household, cherished by its members, made to feel that it Is one of the family, that its future is' secure and there is nothing to worry about. Or a dog ... es pecially a dog that since pup pyhood has been a pet. T DON'T like that East Lan sing ordinance. It goes too far in one direction and not far enough In the other. It ought to provide that anybody who goes off and abandons pets shall be hung up by the toes, . .
