The Facts Speak
To the Editor: I was much
amused to read in Friday's
Mail Tribune of Dr. Durno's
statement that Porter has
$50,000 for his campaign.
1 Isn't It reasonable to expect
trjat he would spend some of
tliis vast sum on television
time in Jackson county; Dur
no's home territory, to answer
Durno's charges, if he had it?
Yet he is rarely seen on TV
except for occasional spot- an
nouncements, usually at non
peak hours and inexpensive
times of day;
Consider Durno's campaign
expenditures, on- the other
hand, in this county alone.
One can hardly turn on TV
without ' seeing him, some
times for 15 minutes at a time,
at a peak hour; besides which,
he has newspaper ads, two at
a time, to announce these
spectaculars.
-tie has spent generously on
radio, too, judging by the fre
quency of his announce
ments. ;
And let's not forget the
billboards: huge ones, up and
down the county.
rDr. Durno must think the
voters are deaf and blind if
he thinks they would fall for
his nonsensical statement. We
see and hear the products of
his exorbitant campaign-expenditures
day after day,
kpowing that the same pat
tern is being followed in the
other six counties of the
Fourth District.
Porter is conspicuous only
by his absence on all the
communications media. A
Democrat, lacking the gen
erous financial support of any
wealthy organization, he has
to make up in legwork what
he lacks in cash. Any child
knows Porter would buy ad
vertising here and elsewhere
if he had $50,000 at his dis
p6sal. The facts speak for
themselves. '

Our Growth Is Cited
To the Editor: It would be
a good idea for you to take
a . trip around the Rogue Riv
er valley, observe the tremen
dous growth and think seri
ously over the changes made
ditring the past eight years
while you are deciding on
who to vote for, for president
of-the U.S., Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Senator Kennedy has based
the greater portion of his
campaign on the economic
issue and has stated many,
many times that "we are
standing still economically
under the Eisenhower admin
istration." .This is not the truth. Nev
ercin the history of the nation
have we moved forward ln
every field as rapidly as we
have in the past eight years.
The sound growth and expan
sion is tremendous. One fig
ure alone which is impres
siye is that our economy has
now absorbed 23,000,000
women into the working
force of the U.S. and still
kept the number of unem
ployed at a low figure.
Healthy economic growth
In the Rogue valley is evi
dent everywhere with the
beautiful new housing areas,
shopping centers, medical
centers, industries at White
City and elsewhere, business
buildings, dozens of attrac
tf.ve new motels, hospitals,
unbelievable retirement home,
new schools and tremendous
growth of the school systems,

and is being duplicated in ev

Vice President Richard

Nasty Cartoon
To the Editor: Dfirlng my
over 40 years as subscriber

this (Herblock, Friday, Oct.

other, such a nasty cartoon

Quemoy and Matiu
To the Editor: Although
only a rank amateur regarding
things military, I can follow
Kennedy's reasoning about the
defense of those two off-shore
islands, Quemoy and Matsu.
It is the belief in military
circles that within a few years
China will have a stock-pile
of atomic weapons. It might
be well to bear in mind that
the Chinese invented gunpow
der. Therefore, if China, like
Russia, -becomes able to turn
out . these weapons 'like sau
sages,',, pur Navy, had better
not getr close to the Chinese
mainland.
Those two stationary tar
gets, Quemoy and Matsu, will
be subjected to such terrific
sustained bombardments that
human hearts and nerves will
find them unendurable.
Besides, how does a coun
try, no matter how powerful,
go about defeating a nation
of - 650,000,000 people, one
third of whom their rulers
consider expendable? . .

Against Free Trade ,
To the Editor: I leel that
every one of Congressman
Charles O. Porter's constitu
ents should know that he very
firmly insists on continuing
the unconstitutional interna
tional control of tariffs which
is imperiling and destroying
American industries.
"We trade and sell more
than we buy," he said in an
swer to my recent inquiry,
"We must not be afraid to
compete." '
How does Mr. Porter get
that way? There is, at this
moment, a formerly unheard
of, staggering $24 billion in
foreign credits charged
against our rapidly dwindling
$18 billion in gold reserves
that proves we are NOT sell
ing more than we buy. Be
cause we cannot compete ei-

ther at home or abroad with
the murderously low prices
of foreign industries, the dol
lars we spend abroad are not
coming back to us in trade.
They are coming back to take
our gold from us at a frighten
ing rate.
Just how does Mr. Porter
suggest that U. S. plywood
mills compete with Japanese
mills subsidized with the pres
ent free trade agreement?
Does he suggest that we cut
our American living standard
down to the level of .the Jap
anese? Are we supposed to
work for 25 cents an hour as
the Japanese people do?
Folks, make no mistake
about it. This anti-American,
disastrous free trade agree
ment with Japan will soon
affect the financial income,
not only of plywood workers
but of every voter in the 4th
Congresional District.
For this reason I urge you
to vote for Dr. Edwin R. Dur
no for. Congressman. He has
promised to do somthing
about this.

Legion Head Says
Signs Misleading
Portland - "Veteranr' day
will be a mockery in Oregon
for more than 30,750 veterans
eligible for GI home loans if
the citizens are misled by the
flood of billboard advertis
ing which implies Measure 13
would cost the taxpayers
money," according to Merrill
E. Johnson, American Legion
commander for Oregon.
"These billboards, showing
a burdened taxpayer weight
ed down by money bags la
bled 'another $135,000,000,"
are misleading since the Ore
gon treasury made $flV4 mil
lion during the past 15 years
from home loans to veterans,"
he said.
"If this $6V4 million net
profit had not been collected
by the state department of
veterans affairs to alleviate
the tax burden, this sum
would have gone to a few
money lenders.
"I am shocked by the mis
leading interpretations grow
ing out of these billboards
and ask voters to join in cor
recting this unfair approach.
"Greed for profit," the Or
egon City Legionnaire assert
ed, "is the sole motivating
factor behind these billboards
and the citizens of Oregon
ought to be told about it."

No Push-Button
Magic for Peace,
Kennedy Declares
Philadelphia - (UPD - Sen.
John F. Kennedy derided Vice
President Richard M. Nixon's
strategy for peace today by in
sisting "there is no push-button
magic" for averting war.
.The Democratic Presidential
candidate said he is "con
vinced that peace can be ob
tained only through a strong-'
er America - and America in
which a strong economy, sup
porting a strong defensive
posture, is manned by a citi
zenry strong in their sense of
purpose ..."
But he said Nixon's "grand
strategy is to create a series
of committees, conferences,
councils and good will tours."
"The next war may be
started and won by merely
pushing a button - but there
is no push-button magia for
winning the peace," Kennedy
said.
Fourth Straight Day
The Democratic standard
bearer spoke out in a speech
prepared lor delivery while
motorcadlng through Phila
delphia in his fourth consecu
tive day of bidding for Penn
sylvania's important 32 elec
toral votes.
He had a busy day of cam
paigning scheduled in Penn
sylvania's largest city, a
Democratic stronghold whose
votes must offset those of Republican-dominated
areas if
Kennedy is to carry the Key
stone State.
State police estimated some
30,000 people turned out for
Kennedy's appearance at a
shopping center in Levittown
- a figure which probably was
high but a crowd which was
peppy and large despite Ken
nedy's lateness of three hours.
Text Contains Pledge
Kennedy concentrated1 on
the issue of unemployment at
Levittown, where a number
of workers at the U.S. Steel
Corporation's nearby Fairless
Works reside. But he failed
actually to utter the major
campaign pledge set forth in
a prepared text released to
newsmen.
This pledge, which aides
stressed that he stands by,
was to set a "full employ
ment" goal of 82 million jobs
by 1968 if he is elected presi
dent eight days from now. The
current number of jobs is
something in excess of 68 mil
lion and Kennedy's target
figure would mean leaving
only a bare minimum of the
working force unemployed.
