A total of 18 entries was received, 13 for Kennedy, 5 for Nixon. Letters came from Grants Pass, Central Point and Ashland, as well as Medford. Judging was difficult, for all of the letters were good, and many judging (done by the stall) was originality, overall etrectiveness. The winners will receive $25 U.S. savings Donds trom the Mail FOR NIXON To the Editor: I'm back Ing Vice President Richard Nixon for the Prosidqncy of the United States be cause I believe In the Amer ican system of Individual free enterprise, ' It is an Irresponsible misrepresentation for Jack Kennedy to allege that the problems of this nation can be overcome by artificially expanding our economy by federal spending. My gen eration will be paying for F.D.R.'s programs. I don't want my children saddled with the debt that would result from Kennedy's In flationary big government. Mr. Nixon insists on fis cal Integrity in a free eco nomic system. This has ob viously worked In the past, and it Is the only system compatible with the Amer ican belief in personal freedom under a strong but limited government. Whenever a government docs for its citizens that which they have the ca pacity to do for them-' selves, it begins to destroy both their capacity and in centive to do for thorn selves. It begins to weaken, rather than to strengthen, the foundations of freedom and the means to progress. Many people regard our Constitution as the means by which government reg ulates the people. But no, it is the means by which people can regulate their government. We have a Bill of Rights, not to be sure that our government will take care of us, but to in sure that our government cannot Interfere 'in our tak ing proper care of our selves. Rights are not guaran teed by the government; rights are guarantees against the government, ' even against our own gov ernment, because this is the way to keep it a good gov ernment. Richard Nixon and the Republican party are not going to try to buy the peoples' vote with the tax payers own money! I do not say those things because I tm a Republican; I am a Republican because these are the things which I believe with all my heart. Jerry E.

Here they are: FOR KENNEDY To the Editor: Today, America stands at the cross roads. Down one road is progress and success as the world's greatest nation, Down the other road is status quo and second place among nations. The direc tion the United States chooses will be decided as each eligible voter casts his ballot on Nov. 8. The election of Sen, John Kennedy for the office of President can Insure lead ership in the right direc tion. Senator Kennedy fully realizes that America must be FIRST, not first IF, first BUT, nor first EX CEPT. This is the kind of a country Americans want. This is the kind, of United States Senator Kennedy wants. Democratic Presidential nominee Kennedy has spent his life working towards a greater America. He is wor ried when the President of the United States is forced to cancel a visit to Japan because protection against anti-American mobs cannot be provided. He is deeply concerned when Russia puts the first sputnik into air and continues to produce greater rocket-thrusts than the United States. He Is gravely worried about Com munist Cuba lurking 90 miles off the mainland, and about the increasing Influ ence of Castro in Latin America. Senator Kennedy, as well as muny other intelligent, sound thinking Americans, is shocked when Vice-President Nixon claims wrongly that American prestige is as strong as ever. All evidence proves Mr. Nixon wrong! Senator Kennedy has con tinuously opposed those In dividuals or groups seeking to restrict Individual free doms. He drafted a ten point plan to provide older people with housing, med ical care, and recreational facilities. He has never wavered In his efforts to better American internally and externally. Before anyone voles, It Is his duty to set aside emo tionalism and propaganda. It Is the voters' responsi bility to find the facts and to weigh them carefully. Choose the right direction and the greatest leadership. Vote for Senator Kennedy. Martha Simpson (Senior, Medford High Schooi) 801 King st. -Medford. Dennis the Menace 'YOU KICK THEM OUT. THEY JUST Matter of Fact "ANOTHER F.D.R.I" En Route with Kennedy In this reporter's fairly long experience, there has been nothing quite J comparable to traveling wun Senator Ken norlv In h a 1 climactic week of the i960 campaign. r--J From dawn I to late at nignt, me peo- aLsoP P'e are always there, in clumps of hundreds along the highways, in crowds dense-packed behind barriers at the airports, in eager yet patiently waiting knots out side the hotels, and in many tens of thousands-even hun dreds of thousands in such a city as Los Angeles-for the big urban parade. But these multitudinous smiling faces, these countless wildly waving, wildly reach ing hands, are not so impres sive merely because of their Incalculable numbers. They are so impressive, rather, be cause of the feeling which Kennedy has somehow in spired in these people. ; Slowly, at the merest snail s pace, the open convertible carries him forward through the clotted masses of human ity. He stands to wave, or leans to touch the offorcd liflnds. The people slurge about, and over, and behind the car. And almost every face visibly glows with affection and with hope. IT IS mysterious how any modern Dollticiun. in this less and less personal and in timate era, has managed to arouse und focus on himself so much emotion, ana almost all in the brief, lurid, hurly burly of this one campaign. After a day or so of the cam paigning routine, one ceases to remember very clearly in dividual speeches, motorcades, or meetings. All the episodes of each long dny begin to blur Into one another. But the un varying emotion of the peo ple always remains vivid and memorable and distinct. What is it, then? What Is the character, what is the na ture, of this feeling Kennedy has known how to stir? One clue to the puzzle is perhaps provided by whot people say aftor the convertible has passed onward. I made the arduous, even somewhat per ilous experiment of following behind Kennedy's car for a i net. JOSKPlT Measures Recommendations .

E.A. VOTED ME htePpBTtt Of &Q' By Joseph Aliop v while. I found that as the cheers died and the surging ceased, the people would quite often turn to one another and say, "He could be another F.D.R.," or, "He looks like another Roosevelt, let's pray he is," or something of that sort. This was the nearest to self- analysis that they ever came, at any rate. It was curious, too, how many of those who looked at Kennedy .and re membered Franklin Roose velt could hardly have remem bered the Roosevelt of the first years of the New Deal the years when cold fear was driven out. rlHAT young father, for in--S- stance, with his three chil dren festooned over his shoulders who kept telling his four-year-old son, "Always remember that! You've seen the Senator, you've seen the Senator! Always remember that!" He must have been an 18-year-old G.I. when the far- flung armies of the West got the news of what hud hap pened at Warm Springs on April 12, 1945. So many of the others are in the young father's generation, too. Perhaps indeed the recollec tion of that day at Warm Springs, and of the whole world in mourning after that day, Is another clue to the present enigma. For all that was controversial! about Franklin Roosevelt, all that used to stir anger or doubt, has begun to be forgotten. What is now remembered is the great leader, able to in spire America and the world, who was lost on the eve of victory unimaginable. That is the Roosevelt for whom nos talgia is so widely felt today. The strange tides of our pol itics caused the American ma jority to hanker for comfort and reassurance and consoli dation in 1952 and 1956-and in 1952 and 1956 the folk memory of Franklin Roose velt gave no aid to Adlai Stevenson. But the tides are running differently now, or so it seems. The call to comfort no longer commands its for mer audience. The country lis tens, now, for a call to great ness. e KENNEDY'S success - if he has succeeded - most cer tainly must be understood in these terms. It is widely said that he has been "promising everything." But his chief so cial promises more aid to cd- Government in Enemy Today & Tomorrow By Waller THE DIFFERENCE The campaign has now reached the point where there is no longer time to raise new issues, and make new arguments. In deed, at this late moment any new issue, any new ar gument, and any new move made by either side must be Wilier LlBomann looked upon with great skeptcism and the utmost suspicion. For, as Mr. Charles P. Taft, the Chairman , of the Fair Campaign Practices Commit tee, has just said, last minute charges, and we may add last minute stunts, are made "with the cynical knowledge that the facts probably won't catch up with them until after the votes are counted. Were the charges or the stunts put forward honestly, they would have been put for ward long since, while there was still time to investigate and to debate them. IN THE field of our foreign relations the two ranrlirlatps have made quite clear what is the difference between them. It is not, as is occasion ally said, that they have dif fering purposes and objectives about Russia, China, Europe, Latin America, or Africa. Both men recognize the same national commitments and the same national interests. There Is no issue between them in the sense that Mr. Nixon wants to go in one direction and Mr. Kennedy in the op posite direction. The real difference, then. is not about ends and aims. It is about ways and means. It is about how to meet our ucation, stronger housing bills, a better minimum wage law. and medical care for the aged -do not make an unduly for midable list. Latterly, more over, the Vice President has been making almost much the same promises. The promises. in truth, cannot be the secret of Kennedy s success. The secret is. I think, two- told. The flat, Boston voice. chopping out the short and vivid sentences, somehow con veys both a strong concern and a deep commitment - a concern for the less privileged in the American community. and a commitment to the high destiny of America. Maybe the concern is pre tended. Maybe the commit ment is assumed. No man on earth, including the candidate himself, can tell what sort of President the candidate will make until the election is over! and the candidate passes the portals of the White House. But vast numbers of the American people are now convinced of the reality and power of this concern and commitment. That is why the faces are aught with hope and affection, and why they re member F.D.R., when Ken nedy comes Icampaigning among them. (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribune Inc. 'How's That Again?Severeid Queries Ttu PBTf" CFtrDrTT i r- I i ii i I . . By ERIC SEVAREID If it were not for the risk of being tarred and fcatherad by 85 million fellow citizens, we would like to ask the two p r e si dential candidates if they would mind repeat ing it all once more, Just for our sake. We didn't quite catch it the sevr.reld first 300 timeJ around. A lot of you feel you did, so you will cheerfully line up at the polling booth and crisp ly mark your ballot, confi dent that you voted for the better man and exactly why. We would envy you, save for a still, small voice. The voice speaks to us in dim though not blank verse with a re written version of Kipling's "If," saying: "If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs - maybe you don't understand the situ ation!" As a supporter of The Situ ation, without which we would have had to go to work or into real estate long ago, our personal view is that nei ther Kennedy nor Nixon has answered the real questions about America or the world or themselves. Not, at any rate, the questions that bother us. We have been totally un able to find out if either man truly understands and accepts that: In spite of all their prom ises about parity payments, wage levels, defense appro priations and pensions, it is the quality, not the quantity, of American life that is the great domestic concern, A lippmonn commitments, to protect our interests, and to promote our purposes. In the terms of the campaign speeches, Mr. Nixon is relying on his personal "ex perience" and that of Mr. Lodge. Mr. Kennedy is call ing for a national revival. Mr. Nixon's view is that the great contest of the cold war is a kind of personal duel be tween the President and our adversaries abroad. Mr. Ken nedy's view is that the con test is one of national i.nver in all its forms, military, economic, scientific, and cul tural, and that prestige, about which so much is said, is the by-product of national power. So Mr. Nixon has been tell ing the voters: "Elect me and Lodge, and we will arrange it for you." Mr. Kennedy has been tell ing the voters: "Wake up, go to work, realize the deadly seriousness of the contest, and persevere." - IT HAS been said that the hard doctrine which Ken nedy preaches downgrades America. Quite the contrary. The preachers of the hard doc trine, which calls for effort and sacrifice, have usually been, like Winston Churchill in the days of Stanley Bald win, the greatest patriots and the truest servants of the peo ple. Those who arouse the peo ple from torpor and compla cency, who shock the people with the bitter truth, are the ones who believe in their peo ple, who believe in them enough to summon them to greatness. The Churchills, who cry out when the people are lazy, selfish, and sluggish with pri vate indulgence, do not down grade the nation. They force it to look at its best possi bilities, and in doing that they revivify, they rejuvenate, they Try and -By BENNETT CERF- IT'S FUN tracking back the origin of stories some scribes have the gall to claim they "originated." Here are two you may recognize, for instance, that Maxwell Droke spotted in a jokebook published in the 1870's: 1. Before the War Be tween the States, a South ern proprietor of a cross roads store called to his servant, "Amos, have you watered the whiskey?" "Yas, suh," "Sanded the sugar?" "Yas, suh." "Added dirt to the pep per?" "Yas, suh." "That's fine, Amos. Now you can come in to prayers." 2. A hat was passed around a certain congre gation to provide a purse for the visiting minister. It came back absolutely empty. The visiting minister shook it mournfully, then raised his eyes to high heaven and exclaimed, "I thank Thee, dear Lord, that I got my hat back from this congregation!"

Humor remains one mark of the large-minded man, and the people will respond to the leader who laughs at himself. knowing it is only the unsure man who will not. Americans want to be led, not to be given "what they want," for in numberless con texts they cannot know what they want until expriments are tried. "States' rights" has become the wooden, totem-pole lan guage of far too many who cite one letter of the Consti tution in order to deny anoth er letter, as well as the spirit. Equality for Negro citizens cannot wait upon "changes in the hearts of men," as Elsen hower seems to believe, for it is the Illumination of ac tions that produces changes in the heart, more often than the other way around.

These arms are reported to include tanks, artillery, tens of thousands of rifles and pos sibly warplanes. The note adds: "With the notorious assist ance of the Soviet bloc, Cuba is expanding rapidly its ca pacity to give ARMED SUP PORT TO THE SPREAD OF ITS REVOLUTION in other parts of the Americas."

"Non-interference in the in ternal affairs of other na tions" is a standard to aim for under normal conditions, but cannot be a policy strait jacket in a revolutionary world struggle in which the United States affects the scene in other nations when it FAILS to act about as often as when it acts. Israel is a sovereign nation among other sovereign na tions, to be treated as such; it is not our orohan ward with special claims upon our moral sense.

We of the Democratic party have put out an intensive ef fort to get the people regis tered, and to my knowledge have shown no partiality, but have registered others with the same grace afforded our own party. This has been a rewarding work, for this year an all time record in number of voters has been reached. I would pay tribute especially to Arthur Lewis, a disabled Veteran of World War I, who personally registered 2,879 people. This is the highest total of any registrar in Ore gon, and I am sure compares well with any in the nation. This has been a hard fought campaign, from the national level on down, but I believe the issues are the important thing, and now the duty falls squarely on each man's shoul ders, which can only be met by voting in this crucial elec tion. Provision has been made for the transportation to the polls for those who are unable to get there otherwise. The Moose Lodge has again volun teered to assist, and also the Citizens for Kennedy Head quarters, which can be reach ed by calling SPring 3-1030. The Central Committee has presented a slate of candidates to the voters of Jackson coun ty with great pride, and en dorses each of them whole heartedly. With strong desire I urge all to be sure and vote. Harper Edwards, Chairman, Democratic Central Committee, Medford Commonwealth, can nn lnno. er go it alone and must at tach herself to a larger con text, preferably an economia "Atlantic union", which will require an American action of immense size and conse quence. By no means are all back ward peoples ready for politi cal independence, whatever the anguished backlash against the American leader with courage enough to say so. "Masterly inactivity" is sometimes the hallmark of di plomatic wisdom, in spite of the American tradition to the contrary. To admit that the United States cannot directly deal with every threat in the world is not to be a appeaser. A danger postponed often IS a danger averted. We will know no absolute peace but will live in the twilight be tween peace and war. This is not insupportable. Tim. i. life.
