WILSON Washington - (UPD - This es say will be about the presi dential candidates, the Fed eral Reserve System (FRS) and some po litical history dating back to 1948. The forego ing is fair warning to Hp readers to turn now to (. o wiiioa tne less com plex plots of the comic page. This essay is to point up the fact that the presidential can didates recently, were asked by the Scripps-Howard News papers this question: "Would you attempt to in fluence the policies of the Fed- mm I vVs;i Washington Report By WILLIAM THE ONE REAL ISSUE En Route With Nixon The Nixon campaign now moves with a quiet but desperate lntentness, . as winter s u d denly falls upon the scene through which travel. The real problem is to pick up the big industrial William S. White states like Pennsylvania and Ohio in which we have been moving The problem and the tech niques are not, therefore really different from what they were a week ago on a quite similar Kennedy cam palgn train through Michigan This youngish and darkish man, Republican Presiden tial Candidate Richard Nix- speaks from exactly the same kind of rear train plat form on which one saw Demo cratic John Kennedy a little while ago. WHAT this man, Nixon, says, is, of course, dif ferent in some ways from what Kennedy had said in the whistle-stopper in Michi gan. For campaign purposes the two candidates deeply differ on foreign policy on what to do about the Chinese offshore islands and on Cas tro Cuba. But though this is billed as the "big" issue of the campaign, it is not the real issue at all. John Ken nedy in the White House or Richard Nixon in the White House would, in fact, act about the same way in any foreign crisis. For our foreign policy has in simple fact, though not in partisan politi cal terms, long since been fixed in a single mold, no matter which party might be in control at the White House at a given moment. Now what really separates Nixon from Kennedy is not China or Cuba: What really separates them is the only homely gut issue of all our politics: How far should the federal government go in in fluencing, or controlling, the economy of this country? rrttiE whole subject is, of course, immensely compli cated. It will not be discussed in this campaign in such a way- as to allow most of us including this economically ignorant correspondent - gen- inely to follow it. For no rap a r-platform performance, national television debate, will be long enough to per mit this great argument ac tually to unfold. All the same, Nixon intends to push this argument much more than he has pushed It before. Maybe, as some think. this is the counsel of fear in the Nixon camp. Maybe Nix r : " ' Last Influence eral Reserve Board In an ef fort to reduce interest rates? Or for any other purpose?'.' Vice President Richard M, Nixon and Sen. John F. Ken nedy each required a great many words to answer that one, both avoiding a simple yes or no. Nixon did say, how ever, that the FRS "should continue to be free of politi- al pressures," Kennedy said the FRS "must bear in mind the economic objectives of the Administration, and I am con fident that it would respond to leadership by the Admin istration. Inflation Is Issue Nixon, therefore, apears to be much more committed to keeping hands off the Federal Reserve System than is Ken nedy. There is not much gen- S. WHITI on thinks . that -his first and basic issue his greater ex perience in '. world affairs is not succeeding as well as he had thought. ' Whatever the reason, the fact is this: Nixon, even as he moves through areas of local recession, is beginning to de velop and consolidate the economic argument against Kennedy. THIS is putting apart the howlinff hnrtnln nf fhn campaign intellectually the best argument Nixon could make against Kennedy. But it is a tactic having dangers as well as opportunities. It has already ' somewhat ' reassured old-line Republicans, who had felt that Nixon was not being "tough" enough. It appeals to all in the nation who live on limited incomes, whether pensions or stock certificates. It will draw more contribu tions from business people whose money has thus far been not too quick and ready. But it is, most definitely, tactic also of danger. To clas sical economists the Nixon views - on this point are un doubtedly "right." There however, also the chance that these views for "sound" dollar may remind many of Herbert Hoover and Calvin Coolidge. The Republicans on this campaign train recognize all of this. But they are armed with that special conviction which comes to men who deeply believe something, right or wrong as it may be. This is their real issue no matter if Mr. Nixon most of the time talks of other things altogether. (Copyright, 1960, By United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

Eccles in a- letter to a congressional committee accused the Truman Adminis tration of inviting economic disaster by its "easy monev bias." HST, Eccles said, was making the FRS an "enaine oi inflation." By making a cheap mon ey market' for the Treasury,1 Eccles wrote; "we (the FRS) cannot avoid making it for everybody. All monetary and credit restraints are gone and under such conditions, the FRS simply becomes an en gine of inflation." The showdown on HST's ef fort to exercise leadership of tne .ens came in February 1951. The reserve system estab lished that its prime job was to control credit and the mon ey supply. That is: To reject leadership from anybory and seek to maintain a balance be tween inflation and deflation. Note to interested candi dates: An agency of govern ment which could lick HST probably could lick either or both of you. The advance detachments came without much opposi tion or notice from the French, though undoubtedly most Frenchmen had troubled thoughts about the presence on their soil of latter-day rep resentatives of their tradition al foe of the past 100 years.

Holmes Sc 13 To the Editor: I sincerely trust that you can find space and the you will be inclined to print the following in your Communications column. The Voters of Jackson, coun ty have an oportunity to get at least 99.44 per cent value received on every dollar spent in both state and county in the office of the District Attorney, providing they vote for the right man - Mr. Alan Holmes. As to the present set-up in this office, as well as some of the past regimes, a great deal of our hard-earned money has been utterly and completely wasted. I have only come in contact with this waste in one phase of the office precedure and if all phases are handled in much the same manner, which we have reason to be lieve they have been, then the taxpayers have truly been taken. Most of us who have had reason to contact the of fice have been treated as mor ons and pushed out the door, without even an answer as to "why." I have found Mr. Holmes' honesty and integrity to be above reproach; he has a good educational background and it is unnecessary for him to ask for and depend upon out- suae assistance. From the pledges that Mr. Holmes has set forth, he proves that he knows what the duties of the office are and what the public has a right to expect and because of his honesty and integrity plus his education and' expe rience as a trial lawyer, the public will get a full meas ure. We taxpayers have been great deal at fault; let's get interested and give as much time as we can spare to the betterment of our County, state and, Federal govern ments (not ust the party.) There are many, many situ ations that need to be clean ed up and I am of the opin ion that it is later than most people like to think, but the men who know do not be lieve it is too late. Let's be gin by voting for Mr. Alan Holmes. Also - I do not think many people believe that a veter an belongs to any privi- ledged class." The Veterans' Loan Department is unique in that it does not cost any tax payer as much as a penny; it is operated on a very profit able basis. We should be proud to help our veterans buy homes and businesses if it is their desire to do Measure 13 is a good measure -let s vote for it. Gail Grooms, P. O. Box 306, Rogue River, 'Ore. Tho Only Men Qualified To the Editor: The United States has been fortunate in having a Republican Presi dent in the White House for the past Vh years. Dwight Eisenhower has demonstrated his leadership and ability to get along with a Democratic controlled Congress. It is grat ifying that during his admin istration there has been no shooting war develop. The present cold war situa tion is going to require some real statesmanship like that of Vice President Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge, who are familiar with our national se curity and international rela tions that must be handled diplomatically to avoid a pos sible hot war. America's economic condi tions, brought about by infla tion and a heavy debt, creat ed by Democratic leadership that involved us in two World wars and the Korean war,' is causing our nation much rightful concern. Should Senator Kennedy become President and con tinue with a predominant Democratic Congress, his ad ministration would extend the plans for even more greatness in the future. In the process, De Gaulle has begun to run into opposi tion. As always, Debre has been his man in the middle. Under the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, much of the real power in France lies with President De Gaulle. But the office of premier, held by Debre, remains technically the implementing job. It was as premier that Debre signed the Franco-German agreement on troop train ing because it represented De Gaulle's policies. It was as premier that Debre journeyed to Bonn in recent weeks for secret dis cussions with Welt German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to reassure him about France's intentions in the NATO alli new and fair deal policy by extravagent spending of tax payer money and further government . controlled econ omy which would increase in flation, cheapen the dollar, and lead us into a Socialistic or dictatorial form of govern ment. In such a crucial era in our nation's history, each Ameri can owes it to himself and his family to take a careful look at all the condidates and try to imagine what might hap pen to him if he had forced upon him the stigma of apa thy and lack of initiative. This is what the Democrats propose in their desire to be all things to all people. We can avoid the welfare state but only through continued competent a d m I n i s tration such as we have had the past 7V4 years. Richard M. Nixon and Hen ry Cabot Lodge are the only men qualified to lead our na tion in this time of unrest. Herman Oliver John Day, Ore. All Tho People To the Editor: With your kind permission, I would like to add a letter to your column, from the people. I enjoy it very much, and think a town meeting is very. fine. too. i - Our country's condition, the way I see it. I think we are threatened from within well as without, by our big otry and hypocrisy. First was trying to start a racial war, and now it is. a religious one. And to think we set our selves up as an example the rest of the world. We have a lot to do, and very far to go, to put our own house in order. The best way to start would be at the top. People running for the high est office in the land should mean what they say, and above all tell the truth. I was always taught, a man's word was his bond, and if you couldn't depend on his word he was not dependable, either I have found it true. It insults people's intelligence, besides, when they stand up and tell people things, that people that read, and think, know is not I love my country, and we have some wonderful good people in it. But there are a few of the so-called higher ups and intellectuals I'm truly ashamed of. Of course, I'm only a common housewife, and my thoughts or words don't mean anything to them But maybe if enough of us let our thoughts be known, might have some bearing on the matter. Our country or world will never know peace until comes ' to the people of this world in our hearts, and in our minds. And we come to the decision that God created all men equal, and not just a few that were better, and were to control the world. The men that are elected to office, be it small city or Washington, should be recall ed if they don't live up to their promises. It is high time they understand it is the most im portant job in the world, and it is the people's lives and money they are responsible for, not a politicial football They are the people's choice and they are depending on them to do the right thing by them, and that means justice to all the people, not just a few.

It was as premier that Debre stood up in the Nation al Assembly earlier this week and fought back an opposition vote of censure over De Gaulle's plans to obtain for France an independent nu clear striking force. It will be as premier that Debre will have his cabinet implement the orders switch ing generals if De Gaulle de cides to go through with his reported plans to stage a ma jot shakeup of the high com mand because of opposition to his policies in Algeria..

He i9 married and has four chil dren. . privilege of knowing as a real friend is Dr. Edwin R. Durno, and I would like to have the opportunity, through your column, to tell others of this fine man who has done much for me and my family. Not only has Eddie Durno done much for us as our fami ly doctor, but he has given us a great deal of good sound advice on many matters, and I know that he is interested in people, especially the people of our great state of Oregon. I know Eddie Durno is not in terested in me for my ' fi- nancial standing, as I most cer tainly do not have that, but I do know that he is interested in me as he is in all people as he is just that kind of a fel low and I am sure he would do his best for all of us in this area if we send him to Congress to represent us. I have also known Edwin Taylor for many years and have had many business deal ings with him. I know Edwin to be a good honest business man farmer who is well aware of the needs of our county and would do us a good job as County Commissioner. I think we should support people we know to be quali fied, honest and willing to serve as I know these two gentlemen to be.. ' George Witler . ' - . 843 West Second st. Medford . Dick and Abe To the Editor: What has gone wrong with the ordinari ly fair - minded people here abouts? By their letters-to-the editor, their ruthless condem nation of our vice president, they hold that a man fighting his way up from a Lincoln-like childhood, winning high re nown for bringing to trial and jail a betrayer of his country, a double-crosser darling of the HST Democratic administra tion, is still not worthy to rep resent the poor and rich alike as President of this nation. Yet, near preposterous like, the letter-writers hold that a youthful aspirant for the presidency with nothing out standing to his credit for his few years in congress, has fully earned the right to guide our affairs in the troubled domestic and foreign seas ahead. Could it be that these letter writers see a new wave in the future of Senator Kennedy's very unlike Lincoln childhood, protected as he was from using tne Back of a wooden fire shovel and with a piece of charcoal to put his first let ters into words, barefooted in snow, subsisting on home grown, ground and baked foods scantily clad in gar ments his mother carded. spun and wove? Yes, protect ed irom all this and other trials of the modern poor by his multi-millioned father? Has this taught this heir-to. millions.-Kennedy to know the ways of the poor, their irustratlons, and to guard and lead them 'as well as the rich he knows so well, in the af- iairs of state? This vicious attack nn (ho enduring Nixon is so like that on Lincoln, also of Quaker ancestry, .on and after his reelection. Horace Greely in his million dollar New York Tribune heckled: "Yes Abe, tell us a little joke like that one of the thousands dead at Gettysburg you so feelingly orated about, murdered bv your bungling of the war?" Yes, a war that saved the Union, freed the slaves, sent and sold here by their own people, reversed a pro-slavery Supreme Court decision that led to the war. All this tin Democratic crack-pot, think ing the nation was with him. sneaked up back of Lincoln and shot the great man down. Let us hope, and hope is a prayer, that Almighty God will help us to be fair-mlnrtpH that such a tragedy will not be repeated ever again. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore.
