Dodds Two Cases
.We don't know much about Sen. 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

non-conforming Americans for showing in Eng

magazine. The writer, Kenneth Tynan, described
his interrogation in an article entitled "Command

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

Urban Redevelopment Measure
Measure No. 3 on the

revenues resulting from increased . valuation of the .;.

This has no application in Jackson county, at

nature, leaving it up to

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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. '

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.

- 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

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

Hang Our Heads
To the Editor: I saw this
short poem in a Magazine
(Messenger of the Sacred
Heart):
IN ALL FAIRNESS
The loveliest angel of them
all
Should meet them at' the
gate of heaven, i
The saints who do the quiet
; things ,
With recognition never giv
en, And straightway hand them
aurioles
Reserved for very special
souls.
These lines must have been
written for the staff and Sis
ters of our .sadly neglected
Sacred Heart hospital, neg
lected by all of us in this com
munity. We should hang our
heads in shame that such a
thing could happen here in
Medford.
I- am sure, 'that with the
help of God and the help of
the people of Medford, this
tragic, closing of the doors of
our Sacred Heart hospital
will not come to pass.
