Kennedy-Nixon iDebates Television viewers who expect a free-swing ing verDai Datue Detween senator Kennedy and Vice President Nixon in their initial face-to-face television appearance, tonight, are likely to be disaoDointed. the widely heralded the two presidential aspirants will not, of course, be entirely lacking in forensic f irewoi'ks. But the ground rales, negotiated by the candidates' aides with all the care of a nuclear weapons treaty, practically guarantee that no real discussion or Interplay of ideas between the two men will result, Despite the limitations, both candidates hope to make big gains in wooing a potential TV-radio audience of 70 million to 100 million persons. Nixon expects his prowess in debating to bring mm many converts, while Kennedy views the debates as an opportunity to project the "pres.. dential image" his critics say he lacks. THE Vice President, a microphone and TV edge in technique, When he first ran for Congress back in 1946 against Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D-Calif.), he joined his opponent in a series of five debates. "Those debates finished Voorhis and made Nixon," wrote William Costello in raphy of the Vice President. Now, the total im pact made by the presidential candidates on tele vision may well decide the outcome In addition to the misstep in the coming on broadcasting believe the candidates run the risk of overexposure on the television screen. "Variety" recently reported that both were be inc warned that too manv armearances on hierhlv 0 - - - . rated "entertainment shows might diminish the effect of the debates. Further, before Nov. 8 both "may well wind up with MEITHER seems to have heeded the advice, as ' witness recent or forthcoming appearanes on the "Jack Paar Show," "Person to Person," "Presidential Countdown," "Focus on Issues," "Campaien Roundup, Party managers however, have turned thumbs down on invitations to the two to give a sort of civics lesson on "Captain Kangaroo," an early show for children. The lollipop crowd will not go to the polls on election day. Ui.R.K. Missing A Record To Build On Vice President Richard M. Nixon is a smooth operator. He makes a good speech. He impresses audiences with a relaxed manner and a sincere approach to the immense problems which will confront a president of the United States. He Droiects rather successfully the image ot a man who is mature, cope with the issues of survival in the 20th Cen tury. He does not make unconsidered statements about his opponent, Sen. John F. Kennedy, which might lead independent voters to think that he is being unduly partisan. In short, the vice president acts well. But it is not how he acts as a politician, but what he says as the potential leader of the free world that disturbs those Americans who are not satisfied with the position of their country in the cold war. e e e e IN PORTLAND and Vancouver, Wash., last week, Nixon said, " I am proud of our record." We do nbt see how any administration could be proud of Cuba, a Communist satellite only 90 miles from our coast. We do not see how it fact an American president could not safely go to Japan, whom the U. S. treated so generously after World War II. We do not see how it fact the president and his wife were stoned 1 L O ll- ana suui, upon in ouum America, our iormer Good Neighbor. We do not see how it could be proud of our failures in the Congo, in Laos, Okinawa and Iran. MIXON also said, of course, that a record is 41 "not something you stand on. It is something you build on." It worries some persons that the vice presi dent wants to build on that sort of record. It bothers some people that the GOP candi date is so satisfied with a world in which Ameri can power and influence are steadily declining. It frightens some people that the vice presi dent blithely attributes our various defeats to the "wicked machinations" of the Communists, and not to any weakness on own part. 0 0 0.0 0 TO THE cheers of thousands, the Republican candidate for president told us that the Soviet Union will not be able to match the economic prowess of the United States within the foresee able future. We do not know whether he is right or wrong on this particular point. But we do know that the evidence of Soviet progress in many fields is something to knock your eye out. What was the name of the first satellite in space? What was the name of the first dog in space? Whose vehicle first orbited the sun? Whose national emblem was first upon the moon? The Democratic candidate, Senator Kennedy, is having some trouble getting across his message that the United States must put forth its best ef fort if it is to prevail in this struggle for the world. It is not "selling America short" to suggest there is a connection between our complacency and Russian dynamism, But this is the issue which must be explored. Nothing less than our survival is at stake. Port land Reporter.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right io to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper) in fact the contrary is Whoso Pockotbook? To the Editor: Those who drive the main highways and look at billboards (instead of the road ahead) will see a rash of new signs - a big hand dra matlcolly grabbing a purse and beside it "Your Money. Appended is the suggestion that you vote against the bill board control measure to be on the November ballot. Of course, factually, the hand should be putting mon ey into the Oregon purse and the line read "Vote Yes for No. 15" for roadside protec tion. Because if Oregon voters rjass this measure which com piled with the National Stand ards for Roadside Protection, the federal government will pay 92 per cent of the cost of new sections of the Nation al Interstate Highways instead of only 92 per cent. This saves Oregon taxpayers several hun dred thousand dollars. Furthermore, roadside serv ices, which can continue to advertise as at present, within miles of their establish ments, will save by not having their signs compete at great expense with irrelevant bill boards and with signs of dis tant establishments. If just 4 or S per cent more out-of-state tourists are at tracted to Oregon because of its uncluttered roadsides and unspoiled countrysides that would put $7 or $8 million more In Oregon's pocketbook every year. under this wisely drawn measure, no billboards would have to be removed for five years, allowing lots of time for readjustment of advertis ers. Obviously the money sav ed on roadside billboards will go into other kinds of adver tising. It is natural that the billboard people should tight any measure that affects any of their signs. (See in this con nection the article in the March "Readers Digest" en titled "The Great Billboard Scandal of 1060.") Oregonians that know what Is good for Oregon will all want to vote "Yes" on Nov. 8 for the Billboard Control Measure No. 13. Thornton T. Munger 27SJ S W Buena Vista dr. Portland, Ore. Christmas Trot Protest To the Editor: There Is a law that should be repealed at the next session of the leg islature, namely - that a per son must have a permit from the forest service to cut Christmas trees from his own land. I claim they have no more right to tell them when they can harvest trees any more than they could tell them when they can harvest fruit or any other crop. It is certainly unconstitu tional and I don't think there a court in the land that would uphold this law. It is all right to control pub lic lands, but they have no right over privately owned lands, L. E. Bean 608 Franquctte st. Medford, Ore. All Art "Catholics" To tht Editor: For the past couple of months we have been reading about Senator Kennedy and his religion. In most of the articles, the Sen ator Is referred to as a Cath olic. It anyone would take time to look up In their dictionary, they would find the following: (1) ynlversal; all Inclusive. (2) ot tht universal Christian church; of the Christian church at a whole.

'y edit all letters with a view often the case. estant is a Catholic but not all Catholics are of the Roman Catholic faith. Senator Ken nedy is a member of the Ro man Catholic religion and he has openly admitted this fact. Among our acquaintances and friends there are, no doubt, those who are Roman Cath olics and that is their right and privilege, and by the same token we are entitled to our preference. Possibly this will be a sur prise to a lot of people who condemn Senator Kennedy as being a Catholic when we all are. Mrs. Margaret Newman, 209 Ashland ave., Medford. Up Popped Iko To the Editor: Paunchy Mr. K. sat in his U.N.chair Damning the free world and tearing his hair A fumbled line while getting ready to strike He'd pulled a boner and up popped Ike. He'd played a cute game while straddling the fence With a lot of hot air and Rubles never srJent, While Uncle Chink Mao and Cousin F. Castro Were behind the curtain all ready to go. Their strategy was plain, as only they knew Make two commies grow where one commie grew. The truth was dangerous, so they had to alibi To make it sound plausible why our boys should die. They played it strong and to make it fine Took in partners all down the line. A fumbled pass, the play a dud, The curtain slipped and their name was mud. Loyalty to none at the expense of many Is a Commie game, not worth a penncy. A many sided trade that now must, end, If one is to believe the public trend. , They will rant and rave, blow off steam Alibis are useless, they are off the beam. Their shell was strong but it hit a spike . When the wrong string was pulled and up popped Ike. Claude M. Hall 2860 Hartley Lane, Grants Pass, Ore, Motor Thievery To the Editor: Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter sent to the Medford city coun cil and to the mayor of Med ford. It is not all I have to say but it will do for now, I'm sure. I doubt the editor of the Medford Mall Tribune would agree with me, but that's all right. It isn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time, although I find many of the editorials in the Medford Mall Tribune quite sensible, believe it or not. Floyd R. McCaba To the Medford City Coun cil and Mayor: It appears to me the city of Medford Is guilty of highway robbery in forcing out-of-town customers of Medford merchants to pay tribute to the city for the so called privilege of parking on the streets of Medford while shopping. (This also applies to other cities and towns which do likewise.) Requiring so-called parking violators to post bail Is extor tion and threatening said so called parking violators with a jail term for protesting against the thievery contrived by past or present councils is Intimidation.

Suddenly we see before our eyes the fine, full flower of this "century of the common man," Some representatives of the common man have, in fact, become too dreadfully common for words. And so now we enter the age of impertinence - and this in a country which two centuries ago helped lead the world into the age of reason. For, our own home-grown irresponsibilities and adult delinquents contribute gladly to this ghastly assault upon elementary taste and elemen tary sense which the Com munists and their stooges like Castro have set off in New York. FOR example, there are the "union leaders" who take it upon themselves - though no one had yet understood them to be the lawful spokes men of our foreign policies -to go out howling impreca tions against foreign visitors who are, God save the mark, also the heads of powerful nations restrained neither by tradition nor by the ordinary prudence which civilized men have learned to exercise. And then there are the refugee groups which, accept- against the so-called violator is also extortion. Imprisoning the so-called parking violator is false imprisonment, regard less of the length of time to be served. And what Is the difference between a pinball machine op erator and the city of Med ford with its parking meters? 'Tis just plain unadulterat ed thievery. Floyd R. McCabe Mt.

Later Macmillan will con sult with the Western Allies on what they should do to meet the new Soviet approach. Criticism Another Western leader, President Charles de Gaulle of France, is being criticized for boycotting the present super-summit get-to-gether in New York. Some sections of the Paris press already are ex pressing anxiety that this may result in France finding her self Isolated at a crucial cold war moment. French officials also fear another outbreak of anti De Gaulle unrest as result of the government's orders to Raoul This enemy is monetary in flation, a stuffy phrase. The Hon. Howard Buffett of Ne braska phrased it much bet ter when he called it the rot ing of the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar is rotting away, no doubt about that. For ex ample: Accept as a standard of val ue the 1939 U.S. dollar and accept its value as 100 cents. Six years later, after the end of World War II, that dollar had rotted or shrunk to a purchasing power of 77.2 cents. By 1949, the 1939 dol lar had shrunk to a 58.3 cents S. WHITE ing the hospitality of our long tradition, now use their op portunities to add to the clack and clamor. One can have the most compassionate un derstanding of the thoroughly justified hatreds they feel for the Communists. But one can not forgive their determination to carry their quarrels to the point of embarrassment and injury to the very government which has given them shelter. There is an appalled terror for the very future of a world teetering at the brink of an abyss while grisly clownish ness disports itself in New York - and right up to the very doors of the United Nations itself. THERE is a profound and incredulous sadness at the fate which has now overtaken the old values, such as man ner and reserve and a decent respect for great and somber issues, which are surely en titled to as orderly a hearing among the public as might be given to a traffic case in a municipal court. . Much has been said and written about the restriction of Nlkita Khrushchev to Man hattan island. The point is soundly made that as a dele gate to the United Nations he has a right to come there without our let or hindrance. But while it is true that he required no invitation of ours to visit the United Nations, it is a great over-simplification to see him as just another statesman visiting an inter nationalized area in New York upon his lawful errands. For certain basic assump tions must and do underlie all forms of international prac tice and understanding - as indeed they underlie all forms of law itself. The world for centuries had simply assumed, for example, that a visiting statesman would not carry his "rights" quite so far as to make public mockeries In the streets of his host country and to deal in awful irresponsi bility, with passing pedestri ans and gawkers, with the terrible concerns which he had ostensibly come to ne gotiate. KHRUSHCHEV and Castro have an undoubted right to be within that part of New York City which is the ter rain of the United Nations. They do not, however, have any right, of any kind, so to behave as to embroil a vast city in frightening plots - real or phony - which might at any moment explode into In cidents tragic for all man kind. And our self appointed diplomats - whether union leaders anxious to show how "anti-Communist" they are, or refugees burning with natural resentments - have no right whatever to intrude Ignorant ly and Impertinently and dan gerously upon the conduct of the foreign policy of the United Slates.

Brinkmanship Western diplomats in Ber lin think the Soviets have given East German Commun ists permission gradually to increase pressures on West Berlin so long as serious in cidents do not take place. The diplomats think even the Reds do not yet know just how far they will go. Their actions will be governed according to Western reaction. Understanding The Madrid airport meet ing between President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Generalissimo Francisco Fran value. These figures were pre pared by the staff of the Sen ate Finance Committee whose chairman is Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. Tho Grandest Larceny The rate of shrinkage was slowing in 1949. Then, along came the Korean War. By January, 1959, the proud U.S. dollar was not even worth four bits. Actual purchasing power value, 48 cents. The last figure presently avail able is for May, 1960. The dollar was worth 47 cents then. War, however, is not solely responsible. Other def icit spending by government is guilty, too. Byrd and the finance com mittee use the 1939 dollar as the standard of value be cause 1939 approximately was the year in which the depres sion deflation of the dollar was overcome. Use of the 1939 standard shows what currency inflation has done in our times. This shrinkage of the dollar in your pocket your bank or in bonds - U.S. savings bonds, for instance -is not merely . larceny. It is the grandest larceny, the greatest theft from the most people. The rotting of the dollar has slowed from time to time. Once or twice it has stopped altogether 'for as long as two months. Some of the big bites taken by inflation from your dollar were these: 1939-45 - 22.8. cents; 1945-49 - 18.9 cents; 1951 - 4.3 cents. Since 1951, the annual shrinkage usually has been at the rate of one cent or less, often much less. Children's Worry In the first five months of 1960, inflation squeezed only five-tenths of one cent from the dollar's purchasing power. That is comforting, of course. If creeping inflation creeps no faster than that, most adults of 1960 can face the future unafraid. They will not live long enough for their dollar to become worth absolutely nothing, as once happened to the German mark, to Chinese money and, almost, to the French franc. The nothing dollar, like the national debt, will be the worry of children and grand children, present and prospec tive. What the kids will say about that when they get it all figured out probably will not be printable. But what the kids say about the debt and the vanished dollar will be mild in comparison to what will be said by the owners o U.S. government bonds who are paid off in that dis tant day. Unless the creeping infla tion trend is stopped, that payoff will be in dollars, val ue nil.

In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS For quite a spell we of Southern Oregon and Far Northern California have been talking about a glamorous new route from Winnemucca to the sea. Our neighbort from Crescent City this week end turned the slogan around. They took THE SEA TO WINNEMUCCA. They must have in their midst a student of Moham medan history. At any rate, Brad Page, secretary-manager of the Crescent City chamber of commerce, says they're re ferring to the jaunt as tht Pilgrimage to 'Mucca. LEAVING Crescent City, they were loaded down with souvenirs of the sea. They had redwood burl gavels bearing greetings from the Redwood Empire association. These were presented to the mayors of the communities they passed through. Their gift kit Included preserved starfish, jars ot marine life and specially processed peb bles and driftwood from tht ocean beaches. They had REDWOOD TREE SEED in little packages. These were distributed to friends along the way to be planted in their gardens. There were specially cultivated Redwood tree SEEDLINGS, about three feet high. They are Sequoia Sempervirens, which is the State of Jefferson variety of Redwood. These were pre sented to presidents of the chambers of commerce along the way, to be planted in the community parks of their cities. HERE In Southern Oregon and Far Northern Cali fornia, we don't need to be told of the importance of tht Winnemucca to the Sea high way. We KNOW. Winnemucca is on Highway 40, one of the principal tourist routes from the East to the West. At Winnemucca, High way 40 turns sharply to the southwest, carrying west- , bound tourists naturally on to Central and Northern Call-, fornia. When the Winnemuc-. ca to the Sea highway is all linked up (which won't bt long now) the tourist will be given a choice. He can 'come on west and northwest to the FINEST BEACHES ON THE PACIFIC. Stopping, of course, at our inland towns along the way. Winnemucca will then be a fork of the road - much as Old Fort Hall was a century ago. From Old Fort Hall, tht emigrants who kept to thtf right wound up in northern Oregon, to become farmers and businessmen. Those who swung to the left hit the gold- fields of California and South ern Oregon. When the Winnemucca to the Sea highway is all con nected up. the tourists who keep to the right at Winne mucca will see the green and the gold of one of the loveliest areas of the West, ANYWAY ... we welcome our friends from the Red wood Empire. And their gifts. ESPECIALLY those Red wood seedlings. rS -4M)S-fj
