"A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." , These old and wise sayings, each with a great measure of truth, come to mind when we consider the proposal for the creation of an Oregon Dunes National Seashore. Some people living in the immediate Seashore area nersist in runniner down the ootential of a national seashore there, in e;ood shane the wav nothing so terribly special about the dunes, any way. And those who support the uronosal are ridi culed for wanting to create a great, new, federal- ly-ownea recreation area. "THE crux of the matter, we think, was stated in a recent address by Elmer F. Bennett, under secrectary of the interior. He said, in part: xne department ot tne interior nas long supported the policy that only park and recreation areas of na tlonal significance should be acquired, conserved and managed by, the federal government; that regional, state and local agencies should help in sharing the load ..." With this we agree. Cities, counties and the state must assume (and, it should be added, role in park and recreation planning 'and adminis tration. This is proper areas HjaUHiFT those ot NOW, do the Oregon The denartment of President Eisenhower, thinks so. A great many people and compared them to other areas, think so too. But some ot the people along the Oregon coastline, and some other their familiarity with the nize this, and the fact that we have an unexam pled opportunity to make the shoreline a mecca for people from all over the world.

Constitutional Revision The Constitution of the state of Oregon, drawn up in 1857 and ratified in 1859, and since amended and amended and amended, needs re vision. Many of its provisions are the work of special interests, which have proposed amendments by in itiative, and talked a majority of the voters into going along with the change. Other articles are pretty well outmoded. And, "while we see no need for any maior or sweeping change in our state form of government, our basic charter certainly would benefit by i. i i j ? i i. i i , i , uenig uiiiuueu uuwii, revised, Di'ougnt up-io-ciate. JTHERE are three ways this can now be done. 1. The legislature can propose single changes to be voted on by the people. 2. An amendment can be proposed by initia tive petition, then ratified by vote of the people. 3. A constitutional convention can be called, which could propose changes or an entire new document, which then would be subject to a vote of the people. Note that only one of the three permits anv complete revision such as is needed. The other two permit piecemeal amendment only. MEASURE No. 5 on the November ballot would f"A provide a fourth method of chantrinir the constitution, one which could effect a major revision. It nronoses to amend the legislature to revise thirds vote of both houses required to do so), and then submit it to ratification by vote of the people. There is no known opposition to the proposal. which has practicality, its side. Even if it passes, however, it mav be an aca- deiffic change. As it is now constituted, there is some doubt that two-thirds of both houses of the egislature could ever agree on a new Constitu tion.

WHATfe KJP DINNER? Today & Tomorrow By Walter THE ISSUE OF PRESTIGE It is unwise of Mr. Nixon to pretend that there is no problem of American pres tige-no prob lem, that is to say, of our power and in fluence rela tive to that of the Soviet Un ion. This is in fact the su preme Ameri Walter Mopmanji this era. ca n problem For there is no doubt at all that the position of the Soviet Union in world affairs has risen greatly in the past ten years. This is one of the facts of life. The Soviet Union has risen from military inferiority to military parity, and from a close containment its influence has expanded into all the continents. The problem or our rela tive power and influence is not an imaginary problem. It was not dreamed up by the Harvard professors or by the Kennedy family. It is the par amount problem which domi nates all of our dealings with the outer world .- The President cannot be taken seriously when he says, as on Monday, that there is no such problem because we have not lost a vote in the U. N. in 15 years, because a hundred heads o state have expressed a desire to visit the United States, because Presi dent Sukarno told him that the neutral nations always look to the United States to maintain peace In an interna tional crisis. This is1 talking down to the voters. It is treating them like ignorant children. It is to as sume not only that they do not know the score, but are incapable of finding out what it is. AN OBJECTIVE view of the Drnhlpm nf rnvtllna moot begin, it seems to me, wilh the position of the United States at the end of the sec ond World War. With our monopoly of the atomic bomb, with our brilliant economy in a world where victors and vanquished alike were on the edge of prostration, we were invincible and invulnerable in war and without an equal in the councils of peace. Is New Flowering of American Spirit Due? By ERIC SEVAREID London - As the British Labor Party conference end ed after voting for a neutral ized Britain, the London column ist, "C a s s a n dra," wrote that "One of uglier by products was the continu ous rumble of anti - Ameri canism. When Sevareld some speakers were short of a jibe, they were fairly cer tain of a growl or approval if they sneered at the United States as a grossly material ist society with a taste for total war." One of the ablest British correspondents in the United States informs his readers that "The United States is just another country." An English novelist, popular in New York and Washington sa lons, exclaims at London din ner parties, "America is fin ished." O These are the straws In the European winds that repeat edly sting the checks of those Americans abroad who dwell deeply enough in European.) thought and society to feel the currents of change. Week aft er week the attitudes reflect ed by such remarks as these are projected in the press and broadcasViig of Britain and 111 Lippmann We were the leading influ ence in vast new areas of the world which had never be fore been within the Ameri can sphere of influence, the whole Pacific ocean to the shores of Asia, Europe to the frontiers of the occupation, and all the lands behind the theaters of war from which Japan and Germany had been expelled, into which the Rus sians had not yet been able to enter. In the first few years after the war American power and influence had been extended far beyond anything Ameri cans had ever dreamed of or that any sane American had ever wanted. In many critical ways, as in the Marshall Plan and in our plans for the res toration of the vanquished, we used our power and influ ence effectively and benefi cently. But there was a grievous fault in our policy. It was the failure to realize that our position was greater than it could remain, that we were over-extended and that we must prepare to climb down from the dazzling paramount- cy of the first post-war year. : ... THE turning point at which our riAsppnf haH -tn hnatn was in 1949, when the Soviet union not only oroke our monopoly of nuclear weapons but showed the world that out of the devastation of the war she had achieved an economy capable of the highest feats in technology and production. The story of the '50s is the story of our failure to rise to this challenge, indeed to realize it, and our failure to achieve a foreign policy for what was becoming a wholly new balance of power in the world and a wholly new sit uation. This failure to realize what had happened as a result of the rise of the Soviet Union has left us with an economy which is sluggish as compared with our vital needs. It has left us with a defense estab lishment which is not leading but is working hard to catch up in the race of armaments. It has left us with a foreign policy which is defensive and which lacks initiative because at so many critical points it has been immobile - immo bile because of our entangle- France, from sociolosical studies to the snide pinpricks of the quick-trip writers who incessantly portray America in terms of New York's juve nile thugs, Las Vegas strip teascrs, race riots and Holly wood scandal. i There is nothing new in all this. What is new is that this saturation has finally produc ed a sea change in the minds of million of Europeans, who no longer think of America as one with them, as an in-' tegral part of the Western mosaic of life, the chief pro tector of their liberty. They now think of America as a third party, almost as alien in spirit as Russia, almost as reckless a threat to their lives. It is little wonder that Prime Minister Macmillan acts like an intermediary be tween East and West as often as he acts like ICA's partner indeed he wins more home ap plause in the former than in the latter role. It is little won der that Charles deGauIle can drive American bombers off French soil and threaten the American-dominated NATO command structure while ex periencing only murmurs of specialized criticism on his home grounds. And it is little wonder that Khrushchev does all in his power to make the world be lieve that his quarrel is with America, and America alone. It is in this sense that his i Matter of Fact bv Joseph auop THE SOUTHERN : : PROSPECTS En Route with Lyndon Johnson - On this Southern safari with Sen. Lyndon B. John son of Texas, the striking fea ture is the de meanor of the local D e m o- cratic leaders who turn out to greet their vice presiden tial candidate. The confi dence of these men is restor ed, their party spirit is re newed, i Consider, for instance, the immensely astute Sen. Her man Talmadge of Georgia, one of the few remaining real state bosses in the U.S. Initially, Talmadge was out raged by his party platform and extremely cool to his party's nominees. Even today, he continues to denounce the platform. But he is now go ing all out for Senators Ken nedy and Johnson, and he predicts that Kennedy and Johnson will carry Georgia by a generous 60-40 margin. A similar case is the new power In Florida Democratic politics, Governor - designate Farris Bryant. Bryant began by threatening to enter un pledged electors, in order to spare Floridans the painful choice between Senator Ken nedy and Vice President Nixon. But he too is all out for the ticket today, in Just the way that Talmadge is. . FURTHERMORE, Kennedy's stock has risen visibly in Florida. The Democrats are making no claims as yet about, this state which they once considered hopeless. But Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall has privately admitted that the most recent Republican opin ion tests show the Democrats running ahead in Florida by a narrow margin. Altogether, the Democratic prospects in the South have immensely improved in , the last month, at least in the opinion of the men to whom Senator Kennedy has deputed control of his campaign in this region. Just about every member of this Southern strategy group is on the Johnson sa fari. Thus it is possible to give the Democratic high com mand's current inside 'esti mate of the way the Southern states will vote this year. T N brief, only two states are still conceded to Nixon These are Virginia and Okla homa, with a total of 20 elec toral votes. The Southern states where Nixon is still considered to have an even chance are Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky, with a total of 39 electoral votes. But the im provement of the Democratic outlook in Florida is less im pressive than the recent im provement in Tennessee. If Kennedy wins these two states in the end, he will gain 21 electoral votes from the bloc of states where Nixon is ments with Syngman Rhee and with Chiang Kai-shek, and on a different level with Dr. Adenauer. THE issue of our prestige is surely the overriding is sue in this election. But it is a difficult one to explain, as Mr. Kennedy is finding, and it is an easy one to obfuscate, as Mr. Nixon and Mr. Lodge are demonstrating. But the last word has not yet been spoken. d a r d a r l c propaganda on slaughts are serving his pur pose, far more than is under stood by those now pleased by his rebuffs at the United Na tions. He is not concerned with the waves, but with the current. When , high-minded Englishmen tell' their people that "America is finished" or that "America is just another country," they mean that the American dream has died, that the vision and promise of the new world have with ered away, that America is no longer the haven of the poor, the strong and simple defend er of the oppressed abroad or even at home, that we have run our course and are no longer the last, best hope of man. e This is what they truly be lieve, and so one constantly buffeted by this current is astounded to hear Vice Presi dent Nixon proclaim that American -prestige in the world "has never stood so high." An affronted American can tell himself that "gross materilaism'Ohas taken 101 possession of nearly every European society, that the be ginning and the end of Brit ish foreign and domestic pol icy often seems to be the pres ervation of Its present afflu ence, that the French are pro foundly materialistic in spirit, that the Germans are in full lust for the fleshpots of afflu JOSPLO thought to have a reasonable chance. In the soIid-for-Kennedy category, are the main deep Southern states, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, and Louis iana, with 41 electoral votes. Kennedy can also count on Mississippi's eight electors, if their votes go to anyone but Jefferson Davis. Finally, the pretty-sure-for Kennedy group of states com prises North Carolina, Texas, and Maryland, with 47 elec toral votes. From all this, the Kennedy strategists for the South con clude the Democrats can rea sonably count on the 75 Southern electoral votes which Kennedy told the Southern Governors' confer ence he "needed." And they further believe they can rea sonably hope for close to 90 Southern electoral votes, and perhaps some more. " 11HERE are three things to - be said about these fore casts. To begin with, the Democratic strategists may of course be wrong. Republican Chairman Hall thinks they are. He admits a Democratic margin in Florida, which the Democrats themselves do not claim. But Hall has also counter-claimed large Repub lican margins in Texas and North Carolina, for example, where the Democrats think they are ahead. Second, however, if the Democratic strategists - are anywhere near the mark, the predicted outcome in the South is likely to be a real body blow to Vice President Nixon. Nixon is plainly hop ing for, and even counting on a great many more Southern electoral votes than the Dem ocratic leaders in the South think he can possibly get. Otherwise, Nixon would be campaigning differently. He would not be making so many forays into the South, even including the deep South. In the second television debate, he would not have risked Negro votes in the North by taking a substantially softer stand on civil rights than Senator Kennedy did. rpHIRD, these same facts - also answer the Northern Democrats, who continue to ask whether Lyndon John son has "added anything to the ticket." In order to see what Johnson has added, it is only necessary to think of what would have happened without Johnson. If Johnson had been nom inated at Los Angeles, the combination of the D e m o- cratic platform and Senator Kennedy's Catholicism would have caused an unparalleled Southern . explosion. . Every deep South state would have entered unpledged electors For the same reason, four but of five of the border states and Texas would almost cer tainly be in the sure-for-Nixon column. Johnson's nomination averted the explosion. The effect of Johnson's nomination was to keep the officers of the Democratic army in the South loyal to their party. All of them are in line, except Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. The officers of the army, like Senator Tal madge, are calling the troops back to t h e ir old loyalty. Meanwhile, the only import ant inciters to mutiny, the main Southern leaders for Nixon, are the big business men. For these reasons, the John son nomination may easily swell the Democratic total by something like the combined electoral votes of New York and Pennsylvania, which is a lot to add. ence, that every contempo rary American curse from juvenile thuggery to sex mag azines afflict Europe, too, from Athens to Oslo. One can tell himself all this, but it is not enough. An American must believe that new springs are coiling within his country, that strong voices are at hand to declare again the eternal meaning of the freest, best-hearted and most exciting human experience on this earth and to make the message convince, those who were once convinced. He must believe with one rare and lonely British writer, Pere grine Wrosthorne, that an American cycle, not of smug complacency but of incuba tion, is now ending and that history will see President Ei senhower "as the model broody hen, sitting patiently, vacantly, but nevertheless in dispensably on the eggs which are now about to be hatched." ' An American wants to be able to remind European crit ics that at the time Walpole said, "Europe is finished! When Voltaire dies, we Gay say goodnight" - that, at the time he said that, Europe was about to enter upon its great est flowering in power, in the arts, in the humanitarian con cerns of man to man.

The sen tence was imposed by Judge Maupin Cummings. What shall we say? How about "spare the rod and spoil thS child?" That's coming to be an out-moded proverb, but it has its parts. BACK in Michigan, the High land Park city council (Highland Park is a suburb of Detroit) has voted-that no home in the town may have more than three cats. Violators of the new ordinance will be subject to a $50 fine andor 90 days in jail. - The passage of the new mu nicipal law came after Police Chief Dewey T.

(Sandra Bak er in the Hoover Hi-Light. a The place names in Oregon furnish great possibilities. . For instance, in another newspaper the other day wa saw a headline which said: "Bike Crash Badly Hurts Wonder Girl." (As far as we could tell from the story, there wasn't anything particularly special about the girl. She just lived in the community of Won der.) Which reminds of a head line we vaguely recall. It was in the Ashland Tidings of some years ago, and said something like: Crash Hurts One In Dead Indian. Sounds sort of as though a couple of hookworms met head-on, or something, but it poses no problem to those who know that "The Dead Indian" is an area in Jackson county. Another city in Oregon wa like is lone. Think of the song possibilities: "Alone With lone," or, "lone, I Own Ya," or . . . never mind. Probably our favorite Ore gon town name, though, is Ir rigon. By itself it isn't much, but when one rolls "Irrigon, Oregon" across the tongue, it does something. And, closer to home, tha headline which says "Rain in Prospect" has a double mean ing either rain is in tha offing, or else it's already rained in that lovely little burg this side of Union Creek.'
