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

whopper, that hit coat tail

South - American dictators
from Truman, that the Eisen

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

if they r confined in t hos

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

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. ,

At and Office
th Editor: Hasn't Piul

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

Janouch must be in his late

choose. Last spring I had a

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?

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

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-

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. .

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.

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

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.
