Public Health Service estimates that air pollution in the city of Portland is cost ing each of its residents a "minimum" and "con servative" amount of $10 per year, or an annual total of some $4 million, ' If the estimate were applied to Medford (and there is reason to believe that, due to smudging and other factors, a comparable Medford figure would be higher), that means the total air pol lution bill in Medford alone is in the neighbor hood of a quarter-million dollars. ; The estimate is based on a per capita cost for "extra cleaning, property damage and other direct damage, caused by pollutants in the air, , and does NOT include "the undetermined dam age to health which the health service authori ties have reason to believe is considerable . . ." X'E are inclined to agree with Medford's able mayor, John Snider, that a "go slow" ap proach to air pollution control is necessary. , He has pointed out that unduly severe air pollution control measures would be inclined to damage the industries which provide Medford people's bread and butter. s As a result we probably don't need and don't want a "crash program." , But there is another danger, and that is go ing TOO slowly in finding put just what the problem is, and how to go about cleaning it up. j . "NE of the necessary (and important) ele- merits in a government based upon the con sent of the governed is that a majority be con vinced that a specific program is a erood ne, and worth whatever it may cost. - In the case of air pollution, we are certain that a majority would be glad to see the city and county governments taking concrete and decisive steps toward pollution lite more pleasant, and,, according to ;the PHS, would save them money. ' 1 But minorities (in this case the lumber mill people and the orchardists) have their rights, too, one of which is not to be forced out of busi ness by ; sudden and' costly and radical new THERE is a 'middle way. ' , . Many of the lumber mills in this area are investing considerable, sums in equipment which will lessen their outpouring . of smoke and cin ders.' ' Many of the orchardists are converting to orchard heaters which on a five-year industry How effective these to be Been. : . . BUT this much we do know: If thev are NOT effective, if the same old smude-e, smoke and cinders problem continues year after year, the people, of this area,' residents of citv.and countrv alike, are eroinp- to rise up and demand that their governments take action. And such action, , by iiave to be immediate and No one wants this if it can be avoided. j The best way to avoid it is to continue to seek voluntary cooperation from the offending industries; to continue to explore the roles the city and county can play in setting up standards and prescribing safeguards; to continue bur awaVeness of the problem and our determina tion that it will be solved, and in a reasonable amount of time. LJOW much longer, after all, can Medford con- tihue to afford putting a quarter of a million dollars into cleaning up? How much longer can we afford the undefined but suspicious effects on bur health, and that of our children? How much longer are with an annual needless man, woman and child We will, for a while. not TOO slow. E. A.

The .adult education department at the Medford High school is offer ing a course in creative writ ing which, as shameful as it may seem, may nave to De dropped from the curriculum due to lack of attendance and interest'. , Dr. R. J. McGlnnis, the founder and editor of Farm Quarterly magazine, has kind- lv consented to instruct sucn a class, provided enough in terest could be arousea. ur. McGinnls's qualifications for teaching such a class not only include a background as an educator .but also that of ( a practicing free-lance writer, correspondent and editor. Dr. McGlnnis was a foreign correspondent for United Press from 1D21 until imzo, then he served as head of the Journalism department for the University of Miami from in2 until 1944. in 1948 ne founded the Farm Quarterly magazine and he is currently serving as consulting editor of thatpublication..Dr. Mcuinms has also edited and written a book, "Good Old Days," which it; published by Harper's and will be available in Just a few days in Medford Dr. McGlnnis and his wife recently moved to the Rogue River valley and it would in deed be a poor welcome if the class which he has agreed to teach was canceled because of insufficient attendance It is seldom that we are fortunate enough to have a man with Dr. McGinnls's background offer his services such as he. has done to the people of this area. If any of the readers are interested in creative writing, better ex Dresslon. and having a won derful informative time, Just call SP 3-7220, tho adult edu cation department at the Med- for High school and Mr. Vln- sel or Mrs. Barber can tur- nish any Information requir ed. Time Is essential. If a tew more people can be enrolled before next Tuesday, the class will continue as scheduled. If not, It will be canceled. Let's show our appreciation to ur McGinnls, let's not let that happen! K. is. Lowe 1128 West Main st. Medford.

I wish to say that you have my ad dress right, but perhaps you do not know that I am quite expert at analyzing hand writing. Yours does not speak well of your good sense in sending unsigned trash to me. I am a Protestant married to a Catholic. We are entitled to our own beliefs, and we are both headed for the same hereafter. , We are honest, kind and good neighbors, and we be lieve in Christ as our guide. If our footsteps do not make the same tracks in the sands of time, nobody will know the difference a hundred years hence. , If our young Democrat doesn't keep him word when, and if, elected-well, even a president can be impeached. Andrew Johnson was. How ever we have faith in Ken nedy. You are welcome to yours in Nixon. I heard their debate of Sept. 27 and though I didn't change horses in mid-stream, I think both are very nice young . gentle men We Demos will do our best, but if your side wins - we will carry on as good citizens should for our country and our flag. . But you keep your pamph lets to kindle fire with. Chris tians do not need them. Pearl Spackman, Jacksonville, Ore. Lethargy and Poison To the Editor: If my good friend Philip Lee Burns had written his interesting letter direct to me, I would have answered it in that way. The Sept. 21 paper carried it, so I shall try to briefly answer for the benefit of some who might be interested in both sides. Thanks, Lee, for your com mendation on efforts being used to "jar" some into ac tion relative to the liquor problem. However, sad to say, too many well-meaning persons feel that it is the "misuse" of alcoholic beverages that is the evil. I have tried to do some "brass lacks" thinking. B u t when was an automobile poi son to begin with? Alcohol is, was, and always will be poi son. No matter how fancy the wrap, bottle, or high class the place that dispenses it, it's still poison. I believe' the minister of your own church will agree with me. I understand that he has been very active in try ing to help our city to stay clean. In fact 1 have been personally cooperating with him in his efforts.

This glim mering emer ges from two sources - the Congolese cap ital of Leo- poldville and from the Unit ed Nations in New York. Phil newsom irom Leo- poldville comes word of stead; ily mounting-, defections among the followers of some time premier Patrice Lumum ba.

When it came to the question of put ting the facts out relative to another liquor outlet in this area, some persons felt "they will get their license anyway, why make fools of ourselves fighting it?" What would have happened if that had been America's attitude toward the axis powers during the war? What would happen were all of our clergymen to feel that sin is too terrible a thing to warn and fight against? There would be no need to preach. Sad to say many preachers have just about that thinking nowadays. Their , congrega tions are lulled to sleep while we stand on the threshold of eternity. Events are transpir ing all around us that herald the dawning of a brighter to morrow. The Holy Scriptures are clear and .explicit,' The proof is all around us that their prophetic utterances were! and are true. ; . Yes, I'm going to do more,' if I can, to help arouse my friends from their "lethargy." And T believe you'll agree that alcohol has and is leth argizing far too many into a stupifying unawareness of our stupendous times. ' Henry Johnson Jr. 2400 Highway 66 Ashland, Ore. Happy Circumstance To the Editor: A most happy circumstance of the many interrogations of Ken nedy, by groups of the pro testant clergy, is their almost universal and unmistakable pleasure in his forthright an swers , Probably no one has ever before so thoroughly and carefully outlined and affirm ed all of our constitutional safeguards for the absolute separation of church and state. If he is elected, it might even become a sort of a "Kennedy Doctrine," or at least a strong precedent, tend ing to further safeguard this separation from any later en croachment, by any religion or religionist whomsoever, if such a thing is a danger, which I do not believe. , Also, both Kennedy and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale say that neither a man s re ligion nor lack of a formal religious affiliation should have anything to do with his qualification for president. I like this much better than Nixon's statement during the convention that a man's re ligion is not an issue and that only if he had no religion should it be an issue. Lou Wilhelm 2905 E. Franklin Portland, Ore. . Porter's Real Sin To the Editor: There's an old saying about "man's inhu manity to man . . ." that has come to mind often during our congressional election campaign since the ridiculing of Charles Porter has become good sport. Gentle people have accused him of every thing from "not having good sense" (Williim Tugman) to "sanctioning murder" (Betty Sexton) plus "oddball pinko" (Anonymous). What motivates it? The Car ribean and Castro business? Congressman Porter first "meddled" in the Carribean when an Oregon boy was murdered there. His name, Gerald Murphy, seems to have slipped the mind of Dr. Dur no's group. Porter did not sanction the murder, but in- stpaH h "meddled" until he Ojlved it.

Of 137 votes in the Congo lese house of representatives, In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS : Let's take' a look today at the Congo-which got its in dependence a" while back, but WASN'T READY FOR IT. Plagued by bad leadership and hamstrung by communist Russia and its - intrigues, it drove out the white man be fore the Congolese were prepared- to run their own af fairs wisely and efficiently. As a result, tragedy . has stalked the Congo. Among their other misfortunes, the Congolese have gone hungry. With their economy limping badly, there hasn't been food enough available to feed the people. UNITED NATIONS with yeoman help from the United States, has been doing its best to feed the hungry, When the white men left, everything stopped, including the collection and distribution of native foods. So Food had to be brought in from the outside; The United States (having vast' supplies of it oh hand as a result of the surpluses arising out of the operations of the farm program) sent in hundreds of tons of dried milk. BUT As has often been re marked, people are funny. The Congolese children don't like the taste of dried milk (Maybe they are more civil ized than we think. A lot of us here in this country don't go wild over the j taste of dried milk powder mixed with water.) Anyway, the children balked at it, They preferred hunger. The United Nations people were equal to the emergency. They invented what they called a Soviet-American cocktail. It was composed of 40 parts of American dried milk and 12 parts of Soviet sugar. The rest of it was wa ter - presumably Congolese water. That helped. The Congolese children tolerated the concoc tion. , - , THAT suggests a thought: J- Wouldn't it be wonder ful if, INSTEAD OF FINGER ING THEIR GUNS .

He discussed Cuba but he never had a voice or a vote on foreign policy. The day communism moved to our doorstep, all policy decisions were in the hands of the party backing not Porter but Durno. Are foreign matters the real target in Doctor Durno's ca: paign? Or is it the Forand Bill which Congressman Por ter supports and Dr. Durno and the AMA have pledged to defeat? Dr. Durno has stated on television that he is friend to "our 15,000,000 old folks and against the Forand Bill because it leaves out six million of them," and there fore he supports contributory insurance. Surely he must know that the contributory insurance plan leaves out, not six, but 13V4 million of the old people and helps none without a degrading pauper's oath. With friends like that, they need no foes. ' In a letter to this paper Dr. Durno suggested that the best thing to do about old are med ical care was to wait until an AMA meeting next year and see what they decide. Charles Porter decided a long time ago. He has worked con stantly for the Forand Bill and will no doubt continue to do so until it is passed. That is the substance of his real political sin. It isn't for eign meddling orneg!ected constituents that make him a prime target, but rather a group of -elderly constituents that he stubbornly and consist ently refuses to neglect.

The baby is now 11 years old. , , - Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop THE KENNEDY CAMPAIGN En Route with Kennedy -In the, Kennedy campaign safari, the buoyancy, the op timism, the sense of being on a rising curve, are now so strong that they are all but tangible. .Maybe Sen? ator Kennedy and his peo ple are delud i n g t h e m-i selves. Maybe the Senator !l?.i will fall flat on his face in the next television debate, al though he looks as surefooted as a chamois.; But, the atmos phere of a campaign entour age is always a meaningful fact. (Who can forget the sig nificantly dank confusion around Adlai Stevenson in 1956?) So this new Kennedy atmosphere is at least worth recording. This phase dates from be fore the first ..television debate-it began with Kennedy's triumphant reception in Cleveland, just before he went to Chicago. But the aft ermath of the debate has in creased the buoyancy, and it has also increased the warmth of the candidate's welcome by the crowds who turn out for him. ' , ... TlHE crowds themselves have something to do with the buoyancy. One does hot Want to exaggerate. A lot of people in these Kennedy crowds would turn out. for any Democrat. More would turn out for any passing show. Yet you cannot doubt, all the same, that Kennedy has somehow captured the imaginations " of enormous numbers of " the American people. i The "jumpers,',' as the re porters on the safari call the young girls who leap up and down in groups at Kennedy's approach, are an odd pheno menon in themselves; More remarkable still are the "touchers," the very consid erable numbers of people, grown-up, hard-working peo ple, who long to touch the candidate, as though he were imbued with some sort of valuable, transferable per sonal magic or private elec tricity One outwardly serious, sensible-looking old lady was even heard shrieking to a friend, "I can't get near enough. I'll touch you and you touch him for me"- though a current would thus flow from Kennedy through ' her friend to herself. " . OOME kind of current does seem to flow, some sort of exchange does seem to take place between Kennedy and the tens of thousands who daily come to see and hear him. The effect is most aston ishing in one of the big am phitheaters like the one in Hibbing, Minn., where Ken nedy had an audience of 12, 000 in a wn of 16,000. The great cavernous space is filled to the rafters, with people. The crowd is not or namented, so to say, witn 3 lal Nehru in his attempt be fore tire United Nations Gen eral Assembly to moderate the , '. chilling winds of the cold war. ' No leader should be imposed on the Congolese people, he " said. Rather, he should be al man selected by the" Congo's own parliament. - ' ' . '" The United Nations, he said;' should work toward-a revlval'5 of parliament as quickly as A possible. , - U " ' V With a successor to Lumum-'S ba legally elected by parlia-ij ment, the last ground would be cut from the Soviet claim that Lumumba remains - the legal premier of the Congo. It was on the basis of that claim that the Russians' at tempted to by-pass the United Nations and send aid direct to Lumumba, who had proved " their willing stooge. It aiso formed the basis ot 1 their attack upon Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold -and of their demands that he., resign.. , '. . . . It also was the basis of their ' charge that Hammarskjold: ' had supported colonialism by. failing to use U.N. troops to I keep Lumumba in office. ; ', The charge was so obvious ly 'false. nnH WammoroL-lnlrft-'1 neutrality and determination . not to interfere in the internal , affairs of a state were so well known, that the Russian, charge received serious sup? port only from the Communist bloc.

' , That is that Hammarskjold t may fall victim Of his own integrity and loyalty to his. office.

There is an . opening i speech or two-sometimes af more skillful speech than the : main speech yet to "come.--Then though a side door,-; with aides flanking him to'' hold off the "touchers" who ';" surge forward, Kennedy quietly enters.

' "'. j HfHAT . fnilnun " u " curious still. Voice train-'r' ing has cured Kennedy of hisc former habit of speaking in a sustained unvarying shout. The new lower-pitched, more'j variable Kennedy voice is not i agreeable any more than the sound of bagpipes is agree-, able, but like bagpipes, it can.',' stir the blood. ., ,', Standing rigidly erect, rare-. ly smiling, even more rarely, gesturing, with deadly ;ser- iousness, with little rchange' of rhythm, with no pauses to, invite. applause, Kennedy:, speaks in this near, still harsh, but somehow stirring voice. The speech is suited to the; occasion and the audiences The construction is often dis jointed. There are repetitions and sometimes there are blunders of phrasing. But the language is elevated, even literary, for this man is some thing of an artist with words, who has evolved a speaking' style as personal as Adlai" Stevenson's, and vastly more masculine. ... . . 7 s, ,.. rpHE themes, by now, are all familiar. The promise of more generous welfare measures, the emphasis on the need for growth at homei the stern insistence on the need for greater power abroad -these notes that Kennedy strikes are standardized by now. Underlying! the . public cized thevnes, however, there are other things that havef received less attention. ThereJ is an intense sense of this, particular moment in history. There is a somber estimate of history's possible move- ment. And there is a desper-v ate urgency aboithe nias ures to assure a decenr fu ture. , . "These are somber times," he fjjs, and there is no doubt he fffeans it. The very fact that he means it combines with his visible, almost overly-visible, confidence in his own power to find a safe way through. It is this combina tion that moves the crowds, and makes the old women want to touch him. It is a curious way to run for the Presidency and it may well not be a successful way. But It is interesting to watch, (e) I960 New York Herald Tribune Ine,
