Or is it be cause more and more countries are adopting the iAmnun-BC line; IT IS neither of these, although they might enter into it in a different way. It is, instead, because the rest of the world is becoming increasingly aware that the U.S. po sition regarding Red China is unrealistic. If it were not for U.S. opposition, Red China would have become a member of the U.N. years ago. . But is the U.S. position unrealistic? Let us see. In brief, U.S. arguments against admitting Kea China revolve around three basic premises: Red. China is an aggressive, warlike nation; it T ' 1 ' ' 1 1 j. 1 . ' . suppresses me inuiviauai ireeuoms oi lis own people; and it is not the legal government of uiina at an. The first two premises cannot be denied, even by Red China itself. But are they legitimate reasons for keeping Red China out of the U.N.Y SO YEARS AGO Oct. 12, 1940 (Saturday) Ex-Governor Charles H. Martin has accepted an invl- . tation of tht Medford Elks to address a meeting hera Oct, 22. From Arthur Perry'i "Ye Smudge Pot"' column: "The womenfolks all declare the . current weather is Just what . till doctor ordered, without revealing the name of the doctor." JIANY world leaders (and even many of our "'.own) argue that thev are not. Thev sav that tne v.N. is a world iorum, and to exclude a coun try containing more than 650 million people (one quarter of the earth's population) is defeating the basic Duroose of the U.N. It is artmed that no formula for disarmament or world peace can ever be achieved without the presence of Red China. ... ,-; That country could hardly be expected to abide by an agreement which it had no part in drawing up. ,1 The third premise of the U.S. that Red China is not the legal government of China is on shaky ground. The U.S. backs the claim of Chiang Kai-shek, and his 2 million Chinese na tionals and 600,000-man army on the island of Formosa, as being the legal government of China. Yet Chiang Kai-shek has not. even set foot on the Chinese mainland in, the -last 11 years. :, Dennis the Menace n Gaulle, Intransigent as Ever, Goes It ft " . i S 1 I.

WON'T CHANGE POSITION - Tokyo (UPD Foreign Min ister Zentaro Kosaka said Tuesday there would be 'no immediate change in Japan's stand against admitting Com munist China into the United Nations. "Keep his eyes clear 'with borio acid solution; and mols ten his ears with sweet oil, give a teaspoonful' of wheat- germ oil daily. Keeps his coat in good shape. Tell the rascal you love him.

Don't dawddle along like school kids, "Breathe deeply and swing out, Brother. Try keeping time with that wagging tail beside you. Then, when hunt ing season opens, you two out-door lovers, will be ready lor it." I signed that article P. F Morava, Central Point. I think I left C. P. in '53 or '54. Mrs. Pearl Spackman Jacksonville, Ore. - 11HAT can the U.S. do then? If Red China taf and tannio acid;-; T is admitted to the U.N. over our objections, it will be a tremendous DroDacranda defeat for us, and a major victory for the Communist world And it appears that this will be the case, at least if the present policy ot the U.S. prevails. ; ; On the other hand, if the U.S. were to favor admission of Red China, any prestige that Chiang might have left in the world today it is already small would most certainly be wiped out. And the U.S. would be abandoning Formosa to what ever fate might befall it at the hands of the Red Chinese. . . - It is a dilemma then that at first glance is seemingly impossible to resolve. But there is one conceivable way out. It involves a six-part pro posal. IT follows: 1. The U.S. would quietly inform lis allies (those who have continued to vote with us on the China issue) that we would no longer be opposed to ad mission of Red China. To be more exact, we would refrain from voting either for or against a motion to make that country a member of the U.N. 2. We would then nrrange that one of our allies, preferably Grent Britain - which already recog- -. nizes Red China as a country - make the motion proposing Red China for membership. This would serve to take the initiative away from the Commu nist bloc and show the so-called "uncommitted" , nations that the West is willing to compromise. 3. The U.S. would NOT recognize Red China as a nation and would continue to recognize National ist China as the legally constituted government of the Chinese people. 4. Nationalist China would be replaced as a permanent member of the Security Council by India. (We would object to seating Red China on the council.) India should be acceptable to all blocs as a permanent member of the Security Council. 5. Nationalist China would still be a member of the U.N., and for all practical purposes there would ; ; be "two" Chinas represented, each having equal ' status in the General Assembly. 6. The problem of how to regard Red China's claim to legal jurisdiction over Formosa could be handled In one of two ways, (a) The U.N. would simply decline to recognize this claim, (b) Or, the U.N. would set up a fact-finding committee com prised of the Security Council members and a rep resentative each of the two Chinas, that would attempt to resolve the dispute. It Is obvious that no decision would ever be possible by such a com mittee, but it would serve as one of those "face saving" devices so important in international diplomacy. IP adopted these suggestions could do several important things. It would make Red China a member of the U.N. ' ; It would allow the U.S. to save face. ' It would be a major propaganda victory f or the West because it is a Western accomplish ment. ' . It would leave the U.S. free to pursue its diplomatic recognition and support of Chiang Kai-shek and his nationalist Chinese government. And, most important of all, it would strengthen the U.N. by makinjr it trulv a bodv representative of all peoples. Its chances for ar riving at aereements leadinc toward world wcpo. would then be greatly enhanced. R.G.N. Monstrosity To the Editor: Since I sent in a letter, published of re cent date in the Medford Mail Tribune, urging the election. of Kennedy on moral and eco nomic grounds, the bread and butter issue, I have received through the United States mail a mass of vilification di rected at Catholics, but too nauseous for reprint. These perverted minds, in ventors of malignant lies, pur port to belong to the Prot estant segments of Christen dom. Since all right thinking Protestants know that his Catholic neighbors, who be lieve in the same God as themselves, are not' evil, scheming, murderous mani acs as charged, it should be high time that Protestants of all segments openly and force fully repudiate this monstrosi ty within their ranks. As one who has no religious affiliation, I am waiting and wondering if the Protestant leadership is capable of taking this forward step. Sulen Drangen 417 Lane st. Yreka, Calif. She's Sick of It To the Editor: I have not ex pressed my political views in this column before, because I felt I could add very little. However, I feel I can be silent no longer. ' t ; The Republican party and its candidates have been slandered and accused of every mean, dirty trick In the book.. Well I am sick of it! . What kind of a president will a man make who delib erately uses his religion to stir up controversy? I quote "Time," Oct. 10, Page 25: "Their (Democrat) speakers use the religion issue to stim ulate the sympathy of the States Catholics, as .well as the many Jews and Negroes, who are sensitive to. bias and bigotry."-,,, H-. -, P age-, 26: Kenneoyites know-that a fall off of interest in religion will weaken them in;- the same (Houston, Tex.) area. Bobby Kennedy plans to show a film of Jack Kennedy's session with the Houston clergy in every state." Which we were subjected to on Monday evening over KBES-TV. ; v Personally I feel religion of this nature has no place in the political arena. I think Jack Kennedy's use of it mars not onlv his political dealing but his religious training as well. We don t need a man to lead us, who will stoop so low. Mr. Kennedy has given us no proof whatsoever of being able to do anything else. All ne can do is try to run down a good record. Look at our own paper's headlines - number of jobless decreases Above normal im pfdvemehtii - Building great- est'in history -';-Take a; good look at Med ford, How many new buildings? How many new retail stores? How many remodeled stores? How many new homes, schools, hospitals, highways?? Are these people starving? Anne McKibben Central Point, Ore. The Candidate To the Editor: A lad and lass, With time to pass, Flayed on the grass; A stranger, neat From head to feet, Came down the street; An empty sack, Both broad and slack, Was on his back. He ceased his tread, Inclined his head And glibly said, , "As candidate, . I'm square and straight, Though I use bait; For Daddy's vote You'll get a goat, A car and boat; I'll ease the tax For those wee backs, So just relax. I go to tear From pure hot air Those treasures fair; Till I come back With that rich pack, Just hold this sack." So all was set. And what you bet They're holding yet? J. D. Finel 3710 Hilsinger rd. Medford. a whole island stands today transformed. Just a few days ago an air mail letter reached me from Goroko, New Guinea. I wish it were possible for all of your readers to look over my shoulder now and see another evidence of the transforming power of the Book. The chap who wrote this letter came from New Britain, another island. The letter is dated Sept. 29. Here are a few excerpts from the pen of a real "fuzzy wuzzy": "I would like to tell you a burden of my own people in my island home (New Britain) when I left them and came in mainland of New Guinea as a missionary . They had been asked me to find some way in which to help, in the building of their little new church . . . And I prayed about that God will show me some way to help my own people . . . Then I thought that it would be bet- ter if you would tell your own people there, so that they may be helping, us too by the means of their gift." "We will be glad if you will answer our requests . . , May God bless you . . . Yours in His service." Naphtali E. Kap ty, C.S.U.M. College, Kabiu- fa. P.O. Box 28, Govoka, New Guinea.

Road to Destruction There is majority agree ment that Soviet proposals for reorganization of the Unit ed Nations would destroy its already limited effectiveness and transform it into an arm of the Kremlin, Yet, through ridicule and outspoken contempt, De Gaulle has demonstrated he, too, is ready to destroy the U.N. Equally, he has demonstra ted his readiness to destroy the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization, the West's main line of defense against win munist encroachment. On the one hand, he con- temDtuously describes the United Nations as the "dis united nations" and promises to disregard any U.N. action bearing on Algeria On the other, he seeks to submerge the wishes of NATO's small members, de mands a veto on U.S., British and Frenai use of nuclear weapons, and insists that French NATO forces must re main under his control. Right to Dissent De Gaulle s friends will ac cede to him a right he refuses to grant, the right to dissent. Bible's Manage To the Editor: Sunday's M-T carried a letter in which one of your contributors voiced a question as to what kind of a Bible I used. On my shelf at the moment s a Douay version as used by our Catholic friends. Before me on the table is a King James version as used by most non-Catholics. I use the same kind of a Bible that Pastor Vandaman so ably told about on Sunday's "It is Written" TV program. Many of your readers perhaps saw this thrilling climax to "Mutiny on the Bounty" in this telecast which featured "Captain BHgh's Bible." . Here was presented a story that began in bloodshed and hate. Then God's will entered the picture. From a Bible on the shipwrecked Bounty, came message of hope and cour age. Through living out wnal was found between its leaves, Our Porter To the Editor: I am a poor miner and I am deeply in debt to Charles Porter and here is why. I have a mining claim in the Galice district. When the Bureau of Land Managament started to incorporate all un patented claims in its bureau cratic empire, my claim was declared null and void. Why? Because it was in the way of a proposed access timber road, Although it was a valid claim the BLM tried to drive me from it without compensation by giving it a fake mineral test. - I presented my case to Con gressman Porter, who had just taken his seat in the House, He went to work diligently on Oregon Case 167, on my behalf, to see that I got jus tice. He answered each and every one of my letters promptly. I have on hand 23 letters from Mr. Porter which are available as proof that he works on the job for which he was elected. He got me justice because he believes in truth and right. If not he acts as though he did. He is the sort of a man that we all want in Congress. We need a man such as Mr. Porter, or the bureaucrats will take over and make us all dance to their music. And to my ear they have some pretty poor music. It is nothing short of slander to say that Mr. Porter is only interested in Oregon at elec tion time. He is on the job all the time. He is capable and trustworthy, dependable and diligent. I can affirm from experience that his con stituents come first with Mr. Porter. It is gratifying to have a man in Congress that has the people's interest at heart. Yes, Mr. Porter is for the old folks. He says: "I might be old myself some time." No, he is not an M.D.. with an axe to grind, or bones to pick. Charlie Porter has intee- rlty, industry and sympathy. and more too. Ha has brains, regardless of what his de tractors, villifiers and slander ers might say. He is the man for the job. He has proved his worth, and it is my belief that he will continue to do so. May we have more like him. In Washington, D.C., he is your servant and mine. He is what his name implies. He is our Porter. Do you have a suit in the national Capitol in need of pressing? Call Charlie. He is your. Porter, at your service. Samuel L. Dickey Route 1, Box 271 Rogue River, Ore. Scarlet Pool To the Editor: The muzzled ' (in conformity with the local ordinance) stood deject edly in his own yard. Without warning he was attacked by a very large, yellow intruder, He may have growled at the tresspasser; or the Big Yel low may have attempted to steal his bone. The reasons for the fight were not appar ent. The result was. The Big Yellow was rolled sidewise only once by the muzzled nose. The rest of the rounds went to the intruder, the final one witnessing the Yellow's teeth clamping down on the defender s neck, It was very quiet as the scarlet autumn leaves drifted down to the matching scarlet pool beside the silent dog. (Name on File) Medford It should come as no sur prise, for that has been ue Gaulle's way since the grim days of France's fall in World War II. No nation can dictate to De Gaulle how his nation shall best be defended. Over great opposition at home and from the Algerian settlers of Euro pean descent, he has declared a policy of self-determination for Algeria. On his record, De Gaulle will keep his word on Algeria. But, also on his record, ha opens himself to charges of furthering a decaying colon ialism. By his unbending at titude he makes it difficult for his friends to come to his defense.

This is incorrect. The Committee to Protect Oregon's Credit, headed by a group of Oregon business men, strongly opposes Measure 13 which would increase the bonding authority of the De partment of Veterans' Affairs by some $135,000,000: Since the Department now has some $150,000,000 out in loans, passage of Measure 13 would bring the borrowing for vet erans up to at least $285,000 000. We feel that a quarter billion dollars is far too great a sum to be allocated to the Department of Veterans' Af fairs, since bonds for veterans now account for more than half (52 per cent) of the in debtedness of the state - for more than highways, forest conservation and educational building bonds combined. The veterans' loan program was begun after World War II as an emergency measure to help service men resettle into civilian life. That was 15 years ago. Our committee feels that the program has been extend ed and has grown far beyond the original intent of the law. especially since the voters overwhelmingly rejected a fund increase in 1958. It is misleading to' imply that the greater share of vet erans' loans are used for new construction, thus aiding lum ber and increasing employ ment. Last year, of the $45,- 000,000 loaned to veterans, only 20 per cent went for im provements and new construc tion, and of this amount, only 15 per cent went for the pur chase of lumber - about $1, 350,000 - not enough to sus tain Oregon's mills for one day. , The original program was intended to finance the nur- chase of farms and the con struction of new homes at a time of housing shortages. It has since become simolv a state lending agency, operat ing in direct competition with taxpaylng private enterprise. and it is not being operated in a manner to reassure the taxpayers. We urge the taxpayers of Oregon to vote "Yes" on Mea- H. S.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Mr. Kroosh, backed by his buddy Toure, of Guinea (who is a graduate of communist schools in Moscow and Prague and is apparently an all-out communist) espouses before the UN what Kroosh calls "total and complete disarma ment." But NO INSPECTION. But the United States and Canada insist that before there can be disarmament there must first be foolproof inspection and control. TREACHERY and you'd have nothing to do with his scheme. That's where the U.S. stands. It doesn't propose 1 to disarm unless there is to be foolproof inspection to make sure that nobody is hiding out a gun. i ' That's the ' long and tha short of this disarmament business. T ET'S put it this way: J Suppose you have an en emy. A DEADLY enemy who, you have every reason to suspect, proposes to finish you off at the first safe op portunity. Suppose he pro posed to you that both of you throw your guns away. This, I think, is what you would say to him: "O.K. But FIRST I must be allowed to pat your pockets in order to make sure that you don't have a secret gun stowed away somewhere. In return, you can pat MY pockets. If we are going to throw away our guns, we must BOTH be sure that everything is on the up-and-up." QUPPOSE he answered: y "NO! That I won't stand for." IITHAT would you do then? Well, if you have a grain of common sense, you'd come to the conclusion that your enemy was PLANNING sure 6 and "No" on Measure 13. E. Mitchell, Secretary Committee To Protect Oregon's Credit 925 Terminal Sales Bldg. Portland 5, Ore. a Editor's note: Three points 1. We did not say .there-was no opposition (although the lettA- above is the first evi dence of opposition we have see). We did say "While a similar measure had opposi tion of some lending agencies two years ago, they are not opposing it this time. By and large, this is true. 2. Only about 15 per cent of eligible veterans have so far been able to obtain loans. Denying them this privilege is unequal treatment. 3. It is still true that not all veterans are able to obtain loans . from other sources. There isn't enough mortgage money to go around.
