Why was the vote so close? Was it because
U.b. prestige has declined abroad? Or is it be
cause more and more countries are adopting the

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

Ex-Governor Charles H.
Martin has accepted an invl-
. tation of tht Medford Elks to
address a meeting hera Oct,

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. :,

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.

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.

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."-,,,

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.

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?

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."

answer our requests . . , May
God bless you . . . Yours in

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

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.

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.

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.

Against Veterans' Bonds
To the Editor: In an edi
torial of Sept. 29, entitled
"Veterans Loan Measure,1
you stated that there is no
opposition to Measure 13. 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-

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.

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.

who is described in the dis

of the Congo, orders Lumum
ba's residence In the Congo
lese capital surrounded by
soldiers. The soldiers, who
are Congolese, obey. They
drive back Lumumba sup
porters with rifle butts. ...
The soldiers tell reporters
they were ordered by Mobutu
to "prevent Lumumba from
making politics." They said
they had no orders to arrest
Lumumba himself,- but were
there to prevent his political
friends (who are communists)
from getting into the house.
pRETTY high - handed busl-
ness?
Maybe - but this must be
remembered; . ;
Mobutu is a Consoles -
not a foreigner. The soldiers
are Congolese - not foreign
troops. Lumumba is backed
by the communists.
Suppose a CUBAN officer,
wun me oacKing ot CUBAN
troops, gained the ascendency
in Cuba and surrounded Cas
tro's official residence with
the idea of preventing his
communist backers from get
ting in to plot with him.
Doesn't that Dut
light on the Mobutu incident
in the Congo? , ?
