Thomas J. Dodd, of Connecticut, a Democrat. But we know enough to know we have little respect for the man, and for the way he has oper ated as a one-man internal security sub-committee of the Senate judiciary committee. We resent his treatment of Dr. Linus Pauling, distinguished chemist and man of peace, and his treatment of a visiting British journalist. THE Pauling case has been reported in the Mail Tribune. ' In attempting to force Pauling to divulge the names of those who helped him to circulate an anti-war petition a perfectly legal enterprise Dodd is denigrating the constitutional guarantee of .the right to petition the government for a re dress ; he is harassing a loyal citizen whose views do not happen to coincide with his; he is 'per verting the legislative power of investigation for legislative ends into an instrument of thought control and intimidation. His action recalls the Senator-a certain Republican from Wisconsin. . TTHE other case, involving a non-citizen, who TV C0 llUll'U U(yJ.Vly JUVt-V ej VllVlllOll DUW'VVUl- mittee for his part in filming a TV; show about non-conforming Americans for showing in Eng land, is reported in the current issue of Harper s magazine. The writer, Kenneth Tynan, described his interrogation in an article entitled "Command Performance. For any one who guarantees, who has an torial dignity, who values fair play and justice and morality, the account is enough, to make the blood boil. Senator Dodd may be guvL we don t Know.; these two instances he is of the United States. Urban Redevelopment Measure Measure No. 3 on the is entitled ' Financing urban redevelopment pro' jects," and the purpose To amend uonsiuution to permit payment 01 cost , of urban renewal projects from-, the additional tax revenues resulting from increased . valuation of the .;. areas redeveloped." - This has no application in Jackson county, at the present time, anyway. It is ruiKMiasivti in nature, leaving it up to into effect. It also would require legislative; ac: tion to be placed in effect. ' "r . . - e I OCAL government can undertake, with fed eral assistance, "urban renewal" projects such thmtrs as slum clearance. ' t ; : I When this ; is ,: done, result in an increase in tax nurnoses. This amendment would make it possible to apportion the taxes levied on such area into two catecories an amount equal to the OLD tax levy for general tax purposes: and the INCREASED amount of the tax, which would go to pay for the local government s expenses in the project. IT MAKES sense, and we shall vote for it. ' It would NOT take away local control; it would NOT authorize any new urban renewal projects ; it would NOT, of itself, increase taxes. mere is no Known opposition to me proposal. We recommend a "yes" vote on No, 3. E.A. By-Pass the Grand Jury? Measure No. 4 on the Nov. 8 election ballot is entitled "permitting mar.inn nr l'nrlir't'.mpnt. " Its purpose is described as follows: ' "To amend Constitution to permit district attorney ,to commence criminal prosecutions by filing written charges (called an 'Information') or by grand Jury as now provided," . This measure is recommended as a means of speeding and simplifying criminal jurispru dence, leaving it up to the DA to make the deci sions on criminal charges which historically have been reserved to grand juries. 7a THE Constitution of the United States says (Amendment V) : "No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment ' or Indictment of a grand Jury , .- The Oregon Constitution has a similar' guar antee, except that the DEFENDANT may waive a grand jury hearing, and in such cases the DA can use the "information" system. The proposed amendment would shift the decision from the DEFENDANT to the PROSE CUTOR. , ' .-'"' ?HANCES are that not in one case in a thou V sand would the proposal result in injustice. But there is a chance. Say there is an incom petent district attorney or one with an ax to grind, or some similar circumstance. These things have happened, and do happen. : ; V In such cases, it would be well to retain that traditional safeguard having a jury pass on whether or not there is enough evidence to hold a man for trial and not leave it up to the' dis cretion of a single man. ; THE glantl jury 'system more complicated, a But it stands a3 a bulwark against personal whims' and snap judgments. -AVe don't like the idea of allowing one man to bring another to trial, on his word alone.

Medford The Red Record To the Editor: Lest we for get the brutal facts of com munist aggression in the world, recall: 57,375,000 citizens of for merly independent states have been engulfed by the Soviet Union. Including Russia and Red China, there are now 973,834 000 people who are being de nied the elementary freedoms and rights of man.. When the brave Hungarians dared to rebel - against totali tarian force, they were bru tally crushed by Russian sol diers, tanks, and guns. ' ' The Baltic nations' of' Lat via, Estonia, and Lithuania have been subjected in a sim ilar way by Soviet Russia. Communist' puppet regimes have been forcibly imposed upon formerly independent nations of Czechoslovakia, Ro mania, Bulgaria, and East Germany. ; ' Communist agression in Ko rea cost us precious American blood. The Red Chinese inter vention in Korea forced us to a stalemate. ' ; fs ; " ; During the past five years United States representatives have met 75 times- at Geneva with the Chinese Reds to ne gotiate the release of 460 American servicemen -who have not been released or ac counted for. The basic principle of com munism is to endeavor in ev ery way possible to overthrow every government which is not a Soviet .Communist form of government. Lenin said, "Promises are like pie -crusts - made to be broken." Will present- day Soviet or Red Chinese communists honor treaties or agreements? . Most recently the Red Chi nese, have raped Tibet. . . The world communist have been remarkably consistent in their efforts to overthrow free governments; and to en slave their peoples. This is the record of Red Colonialism and aggression. I, for one Individual, do not want the Honorable Charles O. Porter, either as a private citizen or as a government of ficial, to I sit Red China in effort to negotiate diplomati cally for trade with Red Chi na or for disarmament. These bloody butchers of Tibet are more than a match for one man, however sincere his mo tivation. We must not be. de ceived by words of peace and good will, when consistent i communist actions to encoum pass and suppress ' freedom loving nations prove their words are false. John R. Watson, M.D. 832 East Main St. Medford Be Joyful To the Editor: Strange Bow a friendly letter can cheer' the soul. We refer to "Count Your Blessings No. 2" by Don Turn bough of Applcgate, Ore. He reminds us how fortunate we are to have a wife in a nurs ing home where her expense is $180 per month when; our Income is a Social Security check of $121.50. He tells us that we live In an: ideal so ciety, the best ever conceived by the mind of man. (Doesn't speak very well for man). He rants and raves about- the Communists and tells us how unholy they arc. That makes ui feel wonderful. When i ootfr me a omtk ..!..'-...-. -.j-, there is so much that Is bad in the world, we can't help feeling like Nixon on parade. We give no thought of the morrow, because we can't emote and think at the same time. ..' . How can we feel sorry for ourself, when we think how fortunate we are? What is a little thing like the absence of a Job when we consider Korea, Cuba,, Hungary, Ber lin, India, Spain, Poland and the slaves of Russia? We feel so happy now that we could vote for the Great Emancipa tor, Richard Nixon, and like It. And that is just what we would do if there was no one else to vote for. This is our great moment with soaring inflation, high taxes, low real estate values, closing mills, griping merchants, reclaimed :ars, mortgage sales and ten ants that cannot pay their rent. We are so happy because we will soon take the pau per's oath and live happy ever after. Let's be joyful. The writer ' asks how the Communists will make life interesting for our next pres Jdent? Here is dur guess. We believe in an economy of scarcity.' Right? That means unemployment. Eight? The Communists stand for an economy of abundance. Right? People are similar to ants and bees - they like . to work. Therefore they will produce whenever they can and dump the surplus on the foreign market at whatever price that they can get. That will wreck the economy of scarc ity Our way of life will be ka put again,. Then count your blessings again. Walter Reece 'Galice rd, Merlin, Ore. Deliberately Misleading? To the Editor: Whether or not you feel your "intentions are nonoraoie, editorials such as you presented Wednesday, Oct. 12, 1960, Red China and the U.N., adds confirmation to the growing conviction that some editorials are designed to de liberately mislead. The Idea of a United Na tions conforms to the highest alms of human endeavor. And even the present U.N. is designed to ensure its con tinued useful existence, by providing a process whereby nations may be expelled for persistently violating the principles container! ; in the U.N. Charter. . '! The present U.N. -is failing its purpose by continuing the membership- of those nations that openly and defiantly vio late the U.N.. Charter.; Move over, Communist China arro gantly refuses to. conform to any norm outside the sphere of its own weird athestic ma terialism. These two situa tions project a condition that is empty of a necessary moral guarantee of conscience, ren dering such words or ideas as truth, peace, or freedom of any meaning whatsoever, save the meanings it may, from time to time possess within the vocabulary of the Communist ' Aesopian lan guage, v Communist China outside the United Nations is "unreal istic" only in terms of stifling the advance of Communism. While, Red China's member ship would certainly be prag matic (realistic) toward this advance. ' Robert J.

Frondizi Surprises Many By Successes I n Argentina, But Still Faces Crises By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor The man-of-the-week: Dr. Arturo. Frondiii, president of Argentina. . The place: Bueroi Aire. The quota: "I appeal to the verdict of the Argen tine people and of God to fulfill my mandate to the end."' '":.'. Crisis was not new to the government of Arturo Fron dizi which, since it took of fice in May, 19S8, had been the target of Peronista or C o m m unist led strikes, terror bomb ings and plots to overthrow it. This week phil newsom d i s s a tisfied army generals were at Fron dizi's throat again. Frondizi went to the radio to proclaim: - She Says: Thinkl To the Editor: Will U ever be possible for the American people to remove all preju dices? We, who believe all men are created equal and are not against any person be cause of his color, race, or creed, have certainly shown a bad picture of our true selves. Really, I'm ashamed of the way the public is treating the coming election If we consider each person equal, then why all the fuss over- Senator John F. Ken nedy's religion? If he felt the church would govern his de cisions, I don t ; think he would take , the position he has accepted in the election. Since I am still, in high school, naturally I am not of voting age. If I could vote, however, I would vote for Vice President Richard M Nixon. This is quite contrary to my speaking out for Sena tor Kennedy. I would vote for the man I felt best quali fied for the burden of our country's future. I think Mr, Nixon is the better of the two, qualified for this job , at this time. ::; . .... ; I am not saying that Mr. Kennedy would not make a good president. He wouldn't have been nominated by the Democratic party if he was not qualified. ; - Both candidates are quali fied and worthy of the presi dency. I hope the public votes for the man it thinks is best for the position. This does not mean voting for a man's reli gion or the kind of clothes his wife buys and wears; it means collecting information about : both candidates and party platforms. Then voting for the . best candidate after careful thought on the matter, May I say to all those for tunate enough to be of age to vote, think before'the elec tion, then be sure to vote, You are the ones who will de cide the future of our great country. ' Janice . Armstrong 714 Park st. ' Medford. It Can't Be Done To the Editor: Upon. read ing Wednesday's editorial on Red China and the U.N., I no tlced a sort of fuzzy thinking, which is characteristic of the editorials in the M-T. The reason for my saying this is that R.G. N.'s plan is what you might call a hasty generalization. I'm saying this because his plan will never work because of step Number 4. t i , Article 23, of the U.N. char ter, says, "The Security Coun cil shall consist of eleven members, of the United Na tions. .The Republic of China, France, the U. S. S. R., Great Britain and .... Northern Ire land, and the U.S., will be permanent members." If Red China was admit ted to the U.N., it would have to be decided whether Red ' China or Nationalist China is the Republic' of China. This would bring up the question of who decides which one is the Republic of China. - . With this problem in mind let us look at another aspect of the issue. In order, to have India replace the Republic of China in the Security Coun cil, the Charter would have to be amended, since the Charter makes no provisions for such a move. . ' Article 108, (of the U.N. charter), says, "Amendments to the present charter shall come into force for all the members of the. United Na tions when they have been adopted by a vote of two thirds of the members of the General Assembly, and, rati fied In accordance with their respective constitutional pro cesses by two-thirds of the "I will accept suggestions, but not demands. I shall not resign. I shall remain at my post." Four-Fold Woet Frondizi's troubles were at least four-fold: -Although outlawed as po litical parties, the Commu nists and followers of former dictator Juan Peron nonethe less retained a stranglehold on some of Argentina's biggest labor unions. -The armed services ac cused him of being too soft on the Peronistas. - -There was opposition to his program encouraging for eign' investment. -Argentine voters ; chafed under his economic austerity program. Frondizi. was Argentina's first freely elected president in 20 years when he took of fice in May, 1958. He had accepted Commu nist aid to win the election. The United States viewed him with frank suspicion. . In the treasury there was not even enough money to pay Argentina's most pressing bills. And Frondizi was regarded as a dreamer without the iron will necessary to restore or der amid the chaos left by Peron. Although rich in natural resources, Argentina had been spending more than $200 mil- members of the United Na tions, including all the per manent members of the Se curity Council." , .; . So we can see, according to article 108, that either Red China or Nationalist China would have to vote them selves out of , the Security Council. This is ridiculous to even consider for we can rest assured that neither one will do this. ' So we can see that R. G. N. is running the risk of Red China's being in the security Council, for if they are rec ognized, as the Republic of China, they will automatical ly be in the Security Council. If a proposal were proposed and passed, that would result in the assurance of National ist China being recognized as the Republic of China, then and only then, could we advo cate Red China's admission to the U.N. ' Alvln Kroon V 155 South Fourth st - , ' Central Point, Ore. - Editor's note: Stranger things have happened. Granted vig orous U.-S. leadership, cou pled with skillful diplomacy, even this could come to pass. At any rate, it's time we start ed thinking of a way-out of the dilemma facing us, and whether it is R.G.Ns pro posal or some other is unim portant. Teddy Would Weep To the Editor: The average American has no idea of the demoralizing, . disastrous im pact the flying of the Panama flag over our Panama Canal Zone has had on the free world. But if President Teddy Roosevelt was here, he would weep bitter, frustrated tears rjver it. Were Abraham Lin coln and George Washington brought back to life, it would break their big, rugged patri otic hearts. It seems almost unbelievable that just because, some Communist-led hoodlums in this pint-sized revolutionary play ground threatened,. , demon strations and riots, our Gov ernment shamefully and cow ardly surrendered American property and treaty rights. In other words, all our enemy had to do was threaten us, and we hastily started surrendering our sovereignty over one of the most impor tant and valuable properties in the world, which is tre mendously vital to our de fense, s Just think what a blow this is to our prestige in Latin America! Think what it did to the morale of the anti-Com munist forces there who are looking to the United State; for support and help! And think what a terrific boost in morale this supine gesture of prostrate surrender has given our enemy. This is an open invitation to him to make, further disastrous de mands. And, now, tne drive by Fidel Castro for both the sur: render of our Guantanamo Navy Base, and the full inter nationalization of our vitality precious Canal has already started. I sincerely hope this awak ens the American people. For, if successful,, this drive will revoke two properly ratified and long - standing treaties without .the consent of the Senate as required by our Constitution. This strategic Navy Base and priceless Canal do NOT belong to our Government of- ficials to give away. They be long to US, the . American people! They are our heritage, and they are extremely vital in our defense. And we, the people of these once proud United States, I lion a year on oil imports alone. - I Surprise Accomplishments But the doubters had un derrated Frondizi. Over bitter protest of Ar gentine nationalists and the labor unions, he negotiated foreign help: to develop Ar- gentine oil fields. He trimmed more than 100,000. workers from the federal payrolls and instituted an austerity pro gram all the more shocking since it followed the free spending inflationary days of Peron. As Frondizi went to work, the U.S. attitude changed.

Excellent Investment To the Editor: I'd like to make a brief rejoinder to Dr Jacobson's letter .last, week with- respect to the proposed Oregon Dunes Seashore Park in the Florence - Reedsport area, ... t .. r, ' Dr. Jacobson says that the park is "wholly unnecessary My Republican opponent,, retired Medford doctor, says that it is a "foolish waste of money. Elmo Smith doesnt go that far. He just says he wants to spend this money for port development, a choice no one will have a chance to make. Governor Hatfield, after considerable study bv many state officials, came out in fa vor of the park. President Ei senhower and Secretary Sea- ton also disagree with Doctors Jacobson and Durno. Another national park in Oregon will mean an addition al $18 million in annual in come for Oregon by 1990, so a conservative report by an Oregon State professor indi cates. It will also mean that this uniquely beautiful area will be saved forever for us and our children. This is an excellent invest ment of federal funds, good for the nation and good for Ore"ri. Outdoor recreational facilities . are more and more 'n demand with population j growth and higher incomes. Oregon has the areas but we need .proper development This is true not only of the seashore but of our national forests and other public lands Charles O. Porter, Member of. Congress. Hungry Nixon To the Editor: Doom and gloom Kennedy, in his No. 2 debate with no-illuslons Nix on, complains loudly of hun ger here in bountiful Ameri ca. Sure, there is hunger here like there always has been and will be, as in all other iands. Too many people will go hungry rather than to get out and work. A husky Med ford lad with face deep in a funny-book was asked why .he wasn't working, that orchard- ists were begging for pickers I won t pick pears ior no- body," he jerked out. He might have been among the hungry but his widowed Ma happened to be on public re lief. This past summer, some 60 'hungry' men sneaked nightly under the SP freight dock. Mammoth U.S. loans helped to stabilize the economy. Oil and natural gas began to flow from Argentine fields. A steel mill went up. , , . This year the government freed the peso, allowing it to find its natural level among world currencies. The budget came close to balanc. r ... In the fight to stem Com munist infiltration.-, of . the Western hemisphere, 'Argen tina joined - enthusiastically with the United States. ; There was no end of crisis in sight for Argentina, but it was to be hoped that Frondizi would weather them, ' ? Stop Me What hunger there was among them was eased into foggy forgetfulness by their well guarded wine-jugs. From purpled thick lips they could be heard muttering, "goo' bl' FDR. He say, no man go hun'ry here. Ok b'me. Let'em bring in the g'dam Mex'n pick: their g'dam pears. Who cares? N'me." - -.---.' ' One of them ambled into a Medford real estate off ic J. "I'm on, the water-wagon fbjf good, men. Got a job waiting, pickin' pears. But I gotta ea,t first," he bravely: announced, suggestively glancing aboui. With suppressed laugh, one Of the land and home sellers re marked, "The stink in your breath is more suggestive Of a wine-jug that you're on;" The wineo gave the heckler an indifferent-sorrowful loolc and meandered out for more gullible listeners, keeping a watchful eye out for city po lice. ; " r ' f Just how does young Ken nedy propose to stop such happenings, guarded as he has been by his Pa's multi millions reportedly gained from whiskey manufacture and lucky breaks in stock market gambling? How does his knowledge of hunger com pare with that of opponent Nixon, yes, Nixon, who fought up the hard hungry way? This used to be considered a credit to any man, before the advent of a million-dollar-backed presidential aspirant. It was a hungry Nixon (and, family too) TWho with much needed help of loyal business friends that, virtually alone, mind you, fought hst ana his gang with their -red-herring' slurs, to land country-betrayer Hiss in the jail house. Where was-Johnny Kennedy all this time? What was he doing? Wa sure would like to know. Would to God we- had more Nixons and we might, not be behind the Russian eight-ball as we are now. 7 S i-7 F. J.
