Methodical analysis of news reports,,, d e bates, speeches, etc., . by our three hopefuls convince me there is no sound practical security for indus try, educational system, wage earners, farmers or1, national safety in either Kennedy's, jvirs. neuDerger's or Porter s "Gum Bumping" for votes. , Federal aid means govern ment control-of taxpayers by ineir own money. Mrs. Neu berger appears far short of the needed Senatorial ability Has. unsound monetary poll. cies, ' an appearance of frivl- iuui unsteadiness wun no pro gram of her own yet prattles on any subject or lead gleaned from othess or from files of the late Senator. No author liy- otner than her own can say the -contents of -these files are now. desired or beneficial Advocates "hypodermic" o f federal funds to -control and cure all ills regardless of add- ed burden-to-wage earners. Her speeches, debates, etc, gives one the feeling . of hy pothesis. , . The three hopefuls appear on common ground in "lib eralism," spending freely monies other than their own. 'appeasement," "federal aid," government control of indus try, wage earners and a free people, by howling to an enemy world of intellectual stupidity, inadequate educa tional-system, a nation grad ing so .low as to be void of prestige and totally - inferior. Our enemies love to hear this type of . "mugwumpry." In my 'opinion Mrs. Neu- berger is of no .value to Ore gon, is just a little lady wish ing for the Washington, D.C., social . atmosphere, freeload ing on hard pressed taxpay ers,, and a badgering nuisance to a Senate . weighed down with serious problems. What has happened to the Grand Old Patty? We are being led . blindfolded . by a halter into a burning barn by our own candidates to office. To preserve the. Grand Old Party,, prestige, I. feel we should borrow two Republi cans, Elmo. Smith and Edwin Durno. -These men have as their platform the sound prin ciples of: the old Democrat party foundation. Both men will fight "federalism" from the - economy, of Oregon and, at present, a free people. ... H. W. Bryson . Route 1,. Box 3389 Florence, Ore.. The Banker Roaredi To the Editor: The banker roared when I requested the loan, for 1 offered as security the' future 'earnings of my sons and of ,ther .sons. Upon recently reading Congressman Porter's . Con gressional Record Report to His Constituents' I was re minded that what the banker considered . to. .be , ridiculous financing is evidently consid ered by some politicians to be laudable government policy. : Concerning foreign affairs, it' has been -disconcerting to hear Senator -Kennedy's fre quent reiteration, that: Castro in Cuba and the United Na tions voting on Red China in dicate that 'American: prestige is at an all time-low., These are precisely -the unfortunate situations that- Mr,- Porter's personal,-foreign .policy, cru sades have aided and 'abetted. His endeavors, even though motivated by .the - noblest of intentions, -have been detri mental to our nation.. ' ' The Fourth- Congressional district deserves some thing better than this.

Kennedy for the office of President are under some kind of a spell, by his prom ises of no unemployment, higher wages, more housing, more schools, medical aid. for the aged, more social secur ity, help for the farmer with a large subsidy, more missiles, uiuie oi everything lor a greater defense, all of these without an increase in taxes how about that? : As a matter of fact he could not carry through the few bills he sponsored for the short session of the 87th Con gress, even after his nomina tion, and controlled by mem bers of his own party in both houses. How then will he.be able to make good on any of his promises if elected? -; It is an old adage that poli tics make strange bed-fellows; as a matter of fact all one has to do is to look back Just a few months, at what Sen ator Kennedy's opponents had to say. during . the primaries, that he was too immature, and without experience in .the executive branch, also with failure to attend many Sen ale roll-calls. Senator Ken nedy.was just not the type of a man to lead the U.S.; that was the sum and substance of the following-Senator Morse, Humphrey, Lyndon Johnson, Mr. Rayburn, Mrs. Roosevelt, Mr. Stevenson, and very many more, and now look at them, including former Presi dent Truman, taking the stump in behalf of Senator Kennedy. What has happened since the primary? Has he grown up all of a sudden? And who is actually behind Senator Kennedy? . Is it Joe Smith? Oh no! Just Joseph F. Kennedy, the Senator's father multimillionaire, reputed t o be worth $400 million. It will be norte other than Joe Ken nedy who will be the power behind that proverbial throne of the President of the United States. of. America, should the Senator be elected. Millions of dollars were spent on Senator Kennedy's primary alone, surely - there must be a reason for it, don't you think so? I do. We have another candidate. Vice . President Richard M. Nixon, who by executive ex perience . deserves every con sideration. Besides there is no substitute for tried and true statesmanship we need in the years ahead in order to con tinue the peaceful regime be gun by our great peace-loving President Eisenhower, Let's do the right thing and elect Richard M. Nixon. George Ian Hunter 1215 South Tolman rd. Ashland, Ore. More Quotations To the Editor: Charles Por ter states -that he does not 'support' Red - China, how ever the Eugene Register Guard on Feb. 14, 1959, quotes him saying "... , my chief legislative project in this session will be to remove the embargo against trade with the-China mainland." It ap pears to me that trade with an enemy pledged to our ex tinction certainly offers them heeded goods -which would helpupport their ambitions. In Lebanon recently Porter quoted a speech he had made in Congress in January, 1959, showing his . concern .- over events in Cuba. This was fine and realistic, but four months later when events were even clearer in Cuba, Mr. Porter told Congress "Castro and his top leaders are against Com munism and all other forms of tyranny. There is freedom of expression in Cuba. Cas tro's Cuba is getting better every day. The military trials have ended. Habeas corpus will soon bf restored. A date for the elections will, I feel sure, soon be announced . , ." (Congressional Record. Vol. 105, pt 6, pgs. 8353-4.)

Comm.; -Msry Moroirtt Mullen, Se., Cimpbtll Rd., Medford, Ore.. ter but his embarrassing state ments still plague our nation, I cannot disagree with any of Charles . Porter's aspir ations for a peaceful world - but I will never believe he has gone about them in proper manner. I trust that we can elect Ed Durno to Con gress, he would temper Ideal, ism with common sense. ; Russell Tripp ' 1160 West 25th st. Albany, Ore. Satan Not a Candidate To the Editor: If I may be permitted a further-and f inall -comment on the current po litical - discussions . in your Communications department, I should-like to correct some wrong impressions which your correspondent, J. W. Shirley of Central Point, seems to have gotten from my letter appearing In ' your issue of Oct. 27. When I said I had voted for Kennedy and Johnson via New York absentee ballot, ai,d gave an appraisal' of the dis cussions at Hedrick Junior High school recently, I surely neither stated nor implied that 1 had "voted er straight." As a matter of fact, I did not, and -unlike friend Shirley-rarely have I done so, ' The Liberal Party in New York of which I have been a member, often ' has included Democrats and Republicans in its lists when these met its standards. This year Kennedy and Johnson headed its list which, however, ' included at least one Republican running for state office and for whom I voted. As for the top candi dates, I had my. own reasons for voting for them (as stated in my letter in your Oct. 31 issue). As . for Mr. Shirley's refer ence to the Angel Gabriel and His Satanic Majesty (happily neither is currently running for office so far as I know unless ' in some disguise not discerned), as an independent voter I believe I would be in a better position to choose ob-. jectively than our neighbor in Central Point. In the true spirit of liberalism, 1 put a candidate's personal qualifica tions and his stand on major political issues above my party loyalty, arid always have; whereas Mr. Shirley ad mits that, he "voted for every Republican candidate since and includina McKinley (ex cept once for T.R. 'the Bull Mooser)" and I did vote for the latter! ..If you as-an Independent and I as a Liberal (minus me gratuitous quotes with which Mr. Shirley surrounded these terms) have become new found friends, that is a matter of real gratification and pleas ure so far as I am concerned. Arnold Eugene Jenny ' Rogue River Manor . Medford. . Porter'a Rare Virtue . . .To the Editor: Congressman Porter's foreign junkets have arnerl him more -criticism than his record on domestic affairs. He is accused of being an international busybody and of setting himself up as a one man State Department.. Yet it is precisely in me field of foreign affairs that his position is so much strong er and sounder than his op ponents'. The State Depart ment In its eagerness to or- snnlrfl nnDOSitiOn tO COIHmU- nlsm has aligned itself with characters and causes that u,nrlH onlnlon widely con demns. They are a minus rath er than a plus to us so lar as the cold war. is concerned. Porter has the good judgment to evaluate these moves for what they are worth and the couraee to condemn some of the worst and more costly of them.-.., , . . Under, the guise of present ing a united front to commu nism anv criticism bf the De partment is frowned upon, but this is a democracy in wiucp the people should direct for eign affairs as. well as do mestic ones. The foreign serv ice isn't sacrosanct. It should be subject ,to constructive criticism. It should project the thinking of the people instead of trying so hard to direct it. Candidate Nixon wouia draw- our defense line- west of Matsu and Quemoy, Just a few miles from the Chinese coast. His trigger-happy determina tion to prevent a communist take over there would make the certainty of war just a matter of time.- China, isn't preparing to fight just any war. She is preparing to fight the United States. When' she attains- the capability .of ex changing blow for blow with us we are going to get out of those islands-or take the con sequences. During the next presiden tial term or two there will be MEDFORD MAIL many East-West issues bigger and more vital to us on which the question of war and peace will hinge. This is a changing world In which the preserva tion of peace calls for flexi bility and the ability to adjust. It is madness to talk of fight ing over those little islands. In this election domestic matters are dwarfed in im portance by foreign ones. The ability to think straight and realistically internationally is a rare virtue. Porter has it. He has proved himself. His elective alternative admitted ly attaches little importance to the toll of a congressman in foreign affairs. W. E. Davies Route 1, Box 110 . . Eagle Point, Ore. How Come? .To the Editor: You have made repeated statements as to the strict policy of politi cally, unbiased news reporting in your newspaper, leaving editorializing to the editorial page only.

Medford Halloween a Pleasure To the Editor: This ,ls letter to the kids and parents in our neighborhood. They all deserve a bouquet or compliment, I think. Halloween is fun arouna here! I look forward to it. The "little sprouts" with their shining eyes and eager faces are a pleasure to "meet" and "treat." ',' The larger spouts too! Everyone of the "goblins" that came to our door last evening had a polite and warm thank- you too. ' : There s quite a bit of laiK about "vandalism" and ma licious mischief" these days, but not enough talk about the "good" deeds or "good" acts - of the kids and teen agers.
