o o Q o SUNDAY. OCTOBER 23, I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. B 7 George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt Give Views on Political Questions By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington ( Special) - To night the combined networks and the National Space Agency bring you a television debate between two illustrious Americans whose comments should help guide us in this presidential election. Through the electronic magic Of two satellites roving in the heav ens and our new retrospect lime machine, tonight we bring you Gen. George Wash- , ington of Virginia and Col. Theodore Roosevelt of New York. Now the first question. Q - General, there has been a good deal of discussion in this campaign about the ad visability of trying to defend . several islands a few miles off the China coast. As a military man, how would you evaluate this problem? Washington - Gentlemen, I have not inspected those gar risons. I am told they are far west of the Mississippi, and as you know I was chiefly con cerned with securing the terri tory east of that great river. What's the fuss about? Has George III colonized China and imposed a tax on tea sent to those islands? Roosevelt - General, if I may interrupt, this country has grown since your time. These islands are out there somewhere near the Philip pines which I freed from the Spaniards. We ought to de fend them, or Spain will grab them. Washington - But Colonel, how many mean, muskets and cannon have we out there? Roosevelt My information Is that this is rough terrain, but I'm certain a troop of cavalry would keep the is lands secure from all invad ers. A little skirmish is good for Army morale. Keeps the boys fit. Washington - Colonel, the trouble with this country to day is that you didn't read my farewell address. It's ob vious that we've become en tangled in dangerous alli ances. I warned against that course, and I stand on. that position. The blood of Ameri can boys should not be shed Speaker of the House Duncan for Legislature' Comm., Ward Spatz, Chm., P.O.

This, added to a staff of highly specialized on foreign rocks.' O - Col. Roosevelt, what should we do about Cuba? Roosevelt - That's a bully question, my boy. I took Cuba, you know. I think after a suitable time of educating the natives we ought to give Cuba back to the Cubans. We're a generous Christian nation, you know. Q - But sir, we gave Cuba back to the Cubans and now they are sore at us. Besides, a foreign! power is mixed up in their government. Roosevelt - Well, where are the Marines? Obviously we didn't allow enough time for education to sink in. I'd send down a detachment of Ma rines. Best education in the world for those ingrates. Washington - If Cornwallis is mixed up in Cuba, I'd per sonally lead a battalion of Val. ley Forge volunteers down there. Those lads deserve duty in a warm climate after what they've been through. Roosevelt - Monroe was right - we must keep foreign powers out of the western hemisphere. But General, my Rough Riders claim the honor. I shall return. Bully. Q - How should we handle the Russian premier- when he comes to Manhattan to attack the United States? Washington - As I recall from the battle of New York, it would be better strategy to keep any invader off Manhat tan. Don t let him past Staten Island. With plenty of am munition, riflemen can de fend New York indefinitely. Q - This is a different prob lem, General. This Russian invades Manhattan with for eign ideas and foreign man ners. . Roosevelt - As a former police commissioner of New York, I would have him searched for weapons and kept on Ellis Island. What's one more Russian immigrant? Let him mix with the immi grants who want to live here. Do him good. Q - A question has been raised about what language is proper for a president, or an ex-president.

Paper Strike Not Considered Illegal Portland -(UPB- Rene Val entine, coordinator of the Portland Inter - Union News paper Strike Committee, said Thursday members of strik ing newspaper unions do not consider the strike against the city's two daily newspapers illegal despite findings of a National Labor Relations Board examiner. Martin Bennett, a trial examiner for the NLRBi said in San Francisco that all major issues on which the stereotypers based the strike were either illegal or involved illegal demands. Valentine told a press con ference that Bennett's 25-page recommendation was contrary to recent court decisions. He said "Mr. Bennett issued a similar anti-union opinion in a recent Honolulu newspaper dispute later reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals."

Third expression of the classic Thunderbird design," the new car was shown early rriday m Dearborn to menv bers of the National Teen-Age Press. The restyled vehicle at tracted on s and "ah s ' as well as its share of "oh no's' and "auugs." An estimated number of spectators at the opening night of the auto show was in excess of 50,000-all attempt ing to see, among other cars. the 1961 Thunderbird. Seeks Comments This writer, interested in what the public thought about the creation, set out to ask viewer after viewer for his comments. Following a limit ed pool, it was learned that most buyers were disappoint ed in the styling as it "looked just like" the regular Fords rather than its own style. On the other hand, the pub lic also believed the nation would get used to it and the car would "grow on us." A near equal number supported each side of the styling con troversy, although those dis appointed were more appar ent. Choice expressions and ex clamations include "ah . . . they ruined it"; "it has lost its uniqueness"; "it should sell like a bomb"; "great im provement in design"; "it has more class"; "nice looking." complains of Presentation One man complained of the presentation of the three at the show. Since the 1961 mod el was raised to show it off, the gentleman said that some might get the idea that the Thunderbird is higher than previous models. . Many of the "lookers" were already owners of 1959 or 1960 "birds" and expressed their desire to avoid trading in on the new model. Several wished they could "buy back" an earlier model Thunderbird they liked. In some cases, it was the front versus the rear. Ladies especially enjoyed the lines on the rear deck, but shud dered when they were ex posed to "drop-off" styling. A Detroit, Wall Street-type man reported that the car was nice looking, and was still "tops" in his estimation. He questioned however, what Ford s next step would be They have gone from a two passenger sports car to a four passenger "family car," ac cording to the interviewee.

One extremist testified he would rather have the incon venience of the older models and still have a nice car. It isn't worth it, he continued', sacrificing too much of the styling just to gain an Inch head room, etc. Generally, the buying pub lic is aware of automotive changes and why engineering changes are made, but the same group demands ' the identical style. Thunderbird for 1961 is not merely a style change, but rather an all-over change to offer the best possible craft. A shifting steering column, 12 extra pounds of foam rubber, and other visible and non-visible advantages are held re sponsible for a change in the model.
