Tha Naw NWen TO th Editor: Opportunist Nixon realizes that his am bition has been boosted by th hat-Catholic behtnd-the- Kent campalf n, but sine he eannot openly partake in this reprehensible deal, he has seized another opportunity, by reference to God in his speeches, to emerge as a Godly Nixon. , This brand new Nixon, n listlnf God in hit corner, comes out swinging with ven omous cunning; for his own profit and his own advance ment he has trampled on the 'most Inarticulate, completely .unorganized minority, those who in their own conscience have not found a harbor of faith within any ecclesiastical denomination. Nixon likes to forget that this minority too h a v constitutional rights that a President of the Unit ed Stat is sworn to uphold. Instead of defending these rights, Nixon procedes to de grade their integrity, and smear them as a group un fit for public office, declar ing that "the candidate must be a believer in God." It must be presumed he means a believer like Nixon is a believer. " Nixon believes in the mon strous scheme that by gov ernment m a n i pulatlon of money supply, credit and crippling Interest rates they eth and will maintain 4 to t million people unemployed; by starvation they would con trol labor., . Th old Nixon as well as th brand new one believes farmers are forced off the farm to join the unemployed, there still won't be any food problem for those that still cth afford to eat, just as "Un employment is no problem in many people's minds" accord ing to Nixon. ' Nixon believes that small business is on the way out, but he his complete faith that Big Business will fill the gap, end th small businessman will just fold his shop and silently steal away. - Nixon does not believe, but -' . . . I . -. . . ... HI UU lLtal you can u yuu win, ms whopper, that hit coat tail administration inherited 11 South - American dictators from Truman, that the Eisen howerNiXon administration have disposed of 8 Out 11 of those dictators. He neglected to say why they are hanging A to the other s dictators. SUlen Drangeh 417 Lane st., Yreka, Calif. . Hunting. Again To the Editor: In answer to Helen L. Wilson of Central Point regarding my comments an the deer hunting question, Well, I must acknowledge that I'm rather rldlcllous when she refers to my knowledge of hunting. When I was a "kid" in Illinois, raised on a farm, I wet just "crazy" enough to take every chance I had to go rabbit hunting with my -brothers. And, Oh how we did make th poor rabbits suffer. SiAce I came to Oregon about 15 years ago I helped my grandsons and a friend mur der a crippled deer that my friend had shot. But I have felt a forgiveness for that act ever since, and too, that I have logged oft a quarter of a section of timber land here near Klamath Falls. I should know a little something about the great and beautiful "out doors." No, you wouldn't necessar ily have to go to the hospital Or jail to get a taste of deer meat, and suppose you did, nobody would begrudge you the privilege. But I feel sorry for the many shut-ins who never even have a Counsol With... Mr. Insurance Frtd Brennan Fre) R. Irtnnan, C.I.A. MEDFORD Ag PHONE SP 3-7343 27 North Holly Strut munications ... chance of tasting deer meat if they r confined in t hos pital, a home for the aged and crippled and orphans, to say nothing about the "pen" or the jails. A gam license gives you the privilege or the chance to kill a certain kind of deer or other tame at a certain time There is no guarantee whe ther you get any or not, there fore I might say that the State Is also engaged in the lottery business, and the Humane so ciety is sanctioning the Slaughter Of innocent animal Well, we have no positive control Over the many acci dents that happen Outside the the victims of the hunting sea son, but there is one thing, it ought to prevent ill those use leu accidents that do happen that could be prevented. J. P. Wlrth, 3022 Butte St., Klamath Falls, Ore. Reporting Criticised To th Editor: It is none of my business who you support In a nnlltlral rtmnaifn. but I do believe you have some re sponsibility in reporting the news as it is given. A while hack. I read in a Portland paper that Norman Vincent Feale and about 190 other Protestant ministers had requested the Roman Church (Mr. Kenhedy obviously could not speak for the Church Fa thers) to repudiate some of their teachings, which would milu nne nf their number a poor risk for the President. The paper went on to enum erate the questions, point by nnini T nMlnri th Mail Trib une ctrrled a small announce ment, where not easily found, and none of the questions at II tn rnntrtnt. When an nouncing the support of Ken nedy, by the Denver rost, a was on th front page and in extra black type. Again, the other day I read fn Portland pacer that in a poll Of torn 1,000 newspaper editors, it was thought that Nixon would take the elec toral vote In all but 11 states. I have been unable to find any mention of that in the M.T. at all. " T rli that since veurt Is the only newspaper Ift a town of 25,006 plus, you may not h ui trt afford in adeauate reporting service. Such could not be th case wnen report ing the Republican rally in Msrifnrri th name of Senator Dumb, one of the "speakers was not even mentioned. " From where we sit, and we iri nnt alnne in this, it looks as if you publish as real news only what will not be narm ful to the son of the liquor millionaire, Mr. John Ken nedy. , Kennetn larger 741 Posse Lane Medford. V T rmaA vniir tntallnt Of Mr. Peale'S recanting from his stand on Catholicism. Na turally, I wonder if money had anything to do with that switch. At and Office th Editor: Hasn't Piul Rynning been in office long enough? I think he has. I dislike to . admit my ig norance (Ilk most other peo ple) but If I knew the pro cedure I'd do my best to get a measure on the ballots for the next (1902) election year a pMiiir retirement of Of fice holders at the end of the calendar year in which h or she attains the age of 65 vmmrt aim to nrohihit anyOn who has reached that age from running for pumie ot flee. I.t't turn these eld code- en out to grass and get some new and younger Blood in tne court house. Even though Edwin H. Tay- N an Is as loneiame as th "Leneiem Geerge" Aula olieyhelder .away from hem when h has an Occident. If you meet a "loneieme George" who needs help, refer him to this office. W will fulfill eur responsibility as Inde pendent Insuranea Agents. IIISUitAIICE oncy lor is (so I have been told) 69 and thus is older than I think the required retirement age should be, he Is every bit as well qualified for the office and it is my intention to vote tor him. Aside from th question of ag I think 35 years in the court house Is mor than suf ficient. I was told last year that Paul Rynning was going to take a long trip around the world when he got out of the county engineer's Office, what happened! Also I Intend to vote for Chester Repp for county treasurer instead of Karl Janouch. Rapp is only 31 and Janouch must be in his late seventies, some difference. I don't think th law re quires on to keep his vote secret, just guarantees one th right to do so if he or sh choose. Last spring I had a notion to sign th durned thing so they'd know whose it was. Floyd R. McCabe Mt. Pitt Star rt. Butte Falls, Ore. That "Healed Argument" To the Editor: After read ing th report in Friday' Mail Tribune on th "heated argument" between Charlie Porter and Dr. Durno during the coffee-hour at the Candi dates Fair Thursday, I feel that an erroneous impression may hay been left in th minds of readers who were not present. Since I was present, I would like to present an onlooker's version of the story, which has been corroborated by sev eral others. The altercation between Durno end Porter was a "dis gusting exhibition" in only one respect: Dr. Durno's be havior. B f o r a mixed crowd, having completely lost control Of his temper, he shouted accusations and epi thets, poked his finger into Porter's chest and used lan guage reminiscent of Harry Truman. Such a shocking lack of self-control on the part of a doctor end would-be Congress man in a campaign-debate leads on to wonder about hit reaction Under th stress of debate in Congress; Mr. POrter. to his credit. conducted himself with dig nity and good humor through out Durno's tirade, admon ishing him several times to "take it easy." Durno referred to Porter's speech as "un- Statesmanlike:" I wonder how he rated his own perform ance at the coffee-hour? Sharon Wheat 1424 Jasper it., Medford Candidates To the Editor: First let us praise the League of Women Voters for putting on the Cn didates Fair at HedHck Junior high, and giving us a chance to meet our candidates face to face. I hope we will always have a chance to talk to the prospective leaders of our country, before we put them in office. If everyone will get out and VOTE, I think we will always have that opportunity. It we hadn't been able to talk to the candidates face to face, I think I might have accidentally voted for John L. Gregory for state represen tative. At the coffee hour fol lowing th speeches, I talked to Mr. Gregory to clarify some of the planks in his platform. I'm in fivor of removing the Inventory tax: passing strict laws to prevent employment discrimination of older or physically handicapped work ers; and promoting eur natu ral resources and laoor supply to encourage year around in dustry. However, after talking to the man for only a brief pe riod of time, I became con vinced that hii vocabulary is limited to curses and two syl lable words, and that hi fore sight is limited to the end of his nosel Although I am a registered Republican, one of my votes will go to. Bob Duncan be cause of hii progressive lead ership, and because he 1 not afraid to say in a straightfor ward manner what he believes In. He has impressed me as be ing honest and sincere in his efforts to make this state a better place to liv in. Let us have more candidates like Bob Duncan! Dick Anderson 435 Niantle st. MedfOrd Laker's Viw TO th Editor: The position which supporters of ballot measure 15, the Billboard Control Measure, have taken with regard to the jobs which will be lost if th inti-blll-board measure is passed is dis turbing and alarming to most Of us in organized labor. Some people seem to be lieve that the number otStnen who court! be directly put out of work Is unimportant, and that their ftmili' livllhod is tbb trivial to be worth con sidering. We In the Oregon Stat As sociation of Electrical Work ers, and I'm sur I can speak also for all major labor groups, including th Oregon AFL-CIO which patted a strong resolution opposing Ballot Measure . 15, believe that every man's job is vital ly important. W further believe that ev ery man we put out of work is a step in the wrong direc tion in our state. We need mor jobs, not less. But even those who dismiss th men directly employed in the outdoor industry as unim portant cannot be unaware of such a basic fact of business life as this: when motels, ho tels, reentrants, service sta tions and resort areas are forc ed to tear down all their ad vertising ' along nearly 700 miles of our most heavily traveled highways, thert is absolutely no question but that the business of many of them will suffer. And when hundreds of ad vertisers ar forced to tear down all their advertising along thousands of miles of additional Oregon highways, It will surely affect their busi ness, and th business of peo ple who ar their suppliers. And so it goes. The innocent-appearing bill which at first seems only to put an un important group of men aut of work suddenly Begins io spread like a cancer to other related businesses, to the peo ple who sell to these business es, artd so on. It is inconceivable Jo us that anydn can really believe that you can strlk a blow at th economy of our tourist indus try and of outdoor advertisers without having it touch upon the prosperity ot all ei us. If this bill will net put men out of work and will not hurt the tourist industry, Why it it that a s6re of labor, trad and other organizations bit terly oppose th anti-billboard bill? Surely all these organiza tions cannot be wrong. Surely there must be a greater dan ger in Ballot Measure 15 then som of its proponents reeog- n'e. ' - .. . H. H. Harrison, rresweni State Association of Electrical Workers 502 Labor Temple "Portland 1, Ore. His Main CompWtnt to the Editor: It is only natural for Mrs. Lee Pinkhem to criticize my candidacy tor the office of county surveyor since her husband 1 a deputy surveyor, with my opponent, in the present administration. Mv miih complaint about tht present administration, Which has been controlled by one group of Individuals tor nearly 40 years, is their use ot county facilities to conduct their private business of sur veying. I realize that the low salary paid to the surveyor requires. other income to support a family. I do not criticize the necessity Of such private work but only the use of county facilities to produce private income-county money should be used for county purposes. One should not use without cost the county Office facilities and equipment, used by the present administration in the pursuit of their private busi ness. My private work would be conducted at my private of fice at my private expense and not at county expenses Or subsidy. To my knowledge no other county surveyor in this Stat uses public facilities to pay for expenses in their private work. 1 I only ask tor the support of those who believe that a public atf ice is a public trust and net a means to Increase private income at public ex pens. . Edward A. Mcuinty, 103 King St., Medford. Roving "Yes-man"? To the Editor: Last Satur day the Oregon Journal told us that President Eisenhow er's recent trip to the Welt Coast cost $38,000. Vice rPesident Nixon has said if elected president he will keep Mr. Eisenhower on as tdvitor, also have him tra vel all over the world as our good will ambassador, and says that President Elsen hower has consented to do so. Does he propose to keep the S3 million Columbine snd the three modern jets, keep them fully manned and equipped, as Is done now, ready for instant call, to tra vel here and there all ever the world at Mr. Nixon's beck and call? To go where other nations are not running their own af fairs to the liking ot Mr. Nixon? These people to be wooed and won by Ike's mtgie smile aneV charm? I for one think w have al ready had too much ot that sort of statesmanship. For meny years many af Our politicians and most Of eur religious leaders have led us to think we are very rieh. and must convert the poor and Ignorant In the rest of the world to Our way ot lit. I believe if we would first take ear of and educate our .awn eltizeni in th fropr car of themselves, and to have respect for the rights of others, give more thought to our esthetic, spiritual and moral progress, and less to the aquisition of material gain, we would be happier and enjoy more of the feeling of security and closeness to our Creator and Guide which even our coins say we trust. I believe the rest of the world would learn more from our example than from our precept. we must hav good firm leadership In a democracy. But is it democracy when our highest elected leader tries so hard at the close ot hi ad ministration to influence us to elect his number one yes man to be our next Presi dent? Then be willing at the age of 70 years to tak on th job of yes man himself? would that add to Our self respect and dignity? we have many other good men capable and willing to take on the work and respon sibility ot the Presidency. General Eisenhower has our respect and gratitude for his service as a good General. Now I feel sure he will do his best to serve our country re gardless of who is elected President. . Ellen Hughes 707 Sherman st. Medford. "Yee" en Me. 15 T th Editor: On Measure 13, Nov. Ith ballot. - Do not class this as a rec ommendation; rather, let us ay that t am urging passage of this measure. Neither I nor any member of my family benefit by the G.I. Loan Bill of Oregon. Be ing of th first world fracas lets me out, and th tact that my thr sons, all of whom had combat service in World War II or Korea, have elect ed to remain in service as career men, now serving in far away places, leave them out. (They would hav bene fitted only had they remained residents of Oregon.) But th fsct that th Ore gon G. I. Loan law was meant tor tha benefit of all eligible veterans who wished to avail themselves of it, and that a sizabl number ot them will be unable to get in on th home loans unless this meas ure is - pissed, and because I believe that the Uw. as Or iginally passed, was meant for all of Oregon G. I. person nel of the qualifying class to benefit equally, and since a large number of applications on file now, for this benefit, will be deprived of it unless this enabling Bonding V Loan measure pass. I am not just recommending, i am urging an to vote yes on this measure, No. is. The fact is that this loan fund etrne money, instead of costing, because interest col lected on the loans amounts to more then the bond inter est, and besides meeting the cost of operetion of Oregon's Department of veterans Af fairs Loan Department, hat shown a profit in th minions, over th time sine it incep tion. It will continue to do so, at a higher volume, en a larg er baste fund that will result, it you vote tor end help past Measure 13. The real estate people will benefit as well as th G. I. borrowers. Private leaning firms will net suffer because of this measure, as tne inai. vldual who sells to the G. I. must have a home, and will go to the private loaners, for i S Aetata. tmCtUm1mtr c2 VttcrfetleM fn fttHrtfy Oetrt g a.m. to 9 p.m. Deity ClOIIO SUNDAYS CONVM1INT IQCMIOM MAIN mn4 CirlYRAl Hi liure $PbKNj MsssseFasai fas sattsl epsrseMs Samaraa waafca'aaa- liwlaiiiliii--M far doctor bMs-aeaa a T4ar, pmaat -seat eat ef skt - saast hi is ew 6rtn Itimpt flnsncing of the new home.

Kind Service To the Editor: May I have this opportunity to thank the person who found my "Charge-a-Plate" and mailed it back to me? It was deeply appreciated. May this person have lots of good luck for the rest of the year and for many years to com. . Mrs. Burton Green 2411 Sunset Court - Medford We're lucky TO the Editor: Isn't It ter rible how some people are abused? ' Our neighbor says I remind him how fortunate he is to hav a wife in a nursing home, that is costing $180 monthly. This is not good but he is still fortunate. He still has his wife and she is being cared for. I doubt that the Communists would care for hr one tenth as good. The Com munists would rather work her to death than care for her. There are thousands of Chinese who would like to have had the chance of a nurs ing home. Instead they work ed long hours every day until sickness or starvation killed them. I don't recall saying we lived tn en ideal society. I said we have restrictions on us, but for every restriction there are more freedoms. How can we feel sorry for ourselves when we think how fortunate we are. I don't know, but I know there are people who do feel sorry for themselves. Isn't It terrible to own my own home and car and to choose my own church and political party? But no matter how awful, I like it and so would a good many million communist slaves, it they had the chence. Things could be a lot better in the U.S. today, and could get a lot worse and still be better then Communism. I think It would be wise for our neighbor to look at the Red Record in Oct. 14 Trib une. (I em speaking of the Record and not of opinion on Porter.) Then If he still wants to support that kind of govern merit t suggest., he move to Russia and stay there.

The diplomatic sanctions and arms embargo were rec ommended last month by tht oas foreign ministers to pun ish the regime of Rafael Tru- jlilo.
