SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, I960 . MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann ON THE DAY AFTER Wednesday mornine. which is when this is being written, is much too early for anyone r to analyze 3 and explain r i y how " a" nap' ?S.rvH why. The re- i !;'4i fi s u 1 1 is ccr- W (erf I tainly close V u - vl enougn to jus- T5l '. S tifv nil thp an. i 'Iv3 guisn so pur uonmior by Dr. Gallup and the other pollsters who have to defy death and de struction by crawling out to the very end of the long dis tance limb. It will be some time before even the most expert of our correspondents will be able to tell us why, for example, re ligion played so small a part in the South, and how it is that the old homelands of Am erican progressivism in the Mississippi Valley were so conservative. But the post-mortems, fas cinating and instructive as they -are sure to be, do not alter the fact that the outcome is decisive. Kennedy is in disputably the President-elect. Although the popular vote was very close, the closest, I be lieve, since the first election of Grover Cleveland, there is nothing ambiguous about Kennedy's majority. Like Cleveland, who was a strong President, he has a clear mandate to undertake what he has promised to do. FOR MYSELF, I believe that the countryis safer and that the future is better because Kennedy rather than Nix on won this close contest. Had the result been reversed, had Nixon won by a bare major ity, he would have come to the White House under" very great handicaps. The Democratic party is overwhelmingly the stronger of the American par tics at all levels of govern ment. The Democrats, of whom millions followed Eisenhower, liked Eisenhower and stood in awe of his great personal pop ularity. This enabled Presi dent Eisenhower to worry along with a Democratic Con gress. But there was no chance that Nixon could have done the same. In the eyes of too many Democrats he committed too many unforgivable wrongs by impuning the loyalty of their leaders. The magnanim ity and the charity of the Democrats would have been strained to the breaking point. A narrow win by Nixon would have inaugurated an era of se vere political, economic, and sectarian bitterness, IZENNEDY'S win promises, A on the other hand, to bring on a period of effective gov ernment, or while the Demo cratic majority in Congress are not united, with Kennedy in the White House, with Johnson as the Vice President, and with Sam Rayburn as the Speaker, the new Administra tion will certainly be able to form effective working ma jorities over and above the Democratic reactionaries and obstructionists. For there is no reason why the coalition between the Goldwater Republicans and the Byrd Democrats should not be topped by a coalition of Kennedy-Johnson Demo crats and Rockefeller Repub licans. For this reason, but not for this reason alone, one of the striking phenomena of the election has been the popular, strength shown by the most enlightened and liberal of the Republicans in Congress-not-ably John Sherman Cooper in Kentucky, Clifford P. Case in New Jersey, Margaret Chase Smith in Maine, and Leverett Saltonstall in Massachusetts, (c) 1360 New York Herald Tribune Inc.

The financial dispatch adds: "Brokers said the narrowness of the Democratic victory gave Kennedy no mandate for sweeping reforms that might work against business."

Park'N Shop Plan Here Viewed by Boise Delegation Nine representatives of the Boise, Idaho, Chamber of Commerce and businesses visited Medford last week to study the city's Park and Shop program. Medford Chamber of Com merce Manager Don McNeil said the Boise chamber, in cooperation with Boise busi nessmen, plans to start a sim ilar park and shop operation there. The Medford program was started more than a year ago after a survey of the down town parking problem in Med ford and possibilities of eas ing the situation. William Barr, nationally recognized authority on downtown park ing for motor vehicles, made the Medford survey. There are 68 downtown re tail and professional estab lishments participating in the Medford program, which is recognized as one of the most successful ventures of this type in a city this size In the country. McNeil said one Boise chamber representative com mented that he was impressed with the turnover of automo biles in the parking lots, and a Boise department store own er was impressed with the low cost to the merchant for participation in the program. I he Boise representatives may view the park and shop program in Tucson. Ariz., one of Hie largest such programs in tiie country,, McNeil said Two Washington chambers of commerce have expressed Inteisst in viewing the Medford program, McNeil noted, but no dutes have been established. A delegation from Bremerton, Wash., was sched uled to view the program here sonic time ago, but the trip had to be postponed, and a new date has not been set. Walla Walla, Wash., Cham ber of Commerce officials have expressed an interest in viewing the Medford plan, McNeil said, but no visiting aaie nas been set. Barr recently spoke to group interested In such a pro gram In Walla Walla, and frequently referred to Med- ford's program. The two cities are about the same size, and have about the same trading area. Other inquiries about the program have come from Aberdeen, Olympia, Bend, and Klamath Falls, McNeil said. A delegation from Eu gene saw the program in op eratlon last spring. The program in Medford accounted for more than 75, 000 validated shopping hours on purk and shop lots during the first year, McNeil said. Side benefits of such a pru gram include less traffic con gestion downtown, fewer ac cidents, the removal of soma older buildings and the ten dency to dress up the backs of buildings facing lots, Mc Neil noted. Wayne & Mary Weslberg 2200 Roberts Rd., Medford, Ore. You Are Invited to Last Week of CHRIST CENTERED REVIVAL Salvation . . . Healing . . . Holy Ghost Gifts of the Spirit . . . Prophecy SUNDAY, NOV. 13 through SUNDAY, NOV. 20 Nightly at 7:30 except Monday Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Mathewson, Pastors FOURSQUARE CHURCH ONE BLOCK EAST OF GRANUV1EW MARKET 1WE popular vote was cer tainly close. Out of approximately 66 million votes cast and count ed as this is written, Kennedy has a lead of slightly more than 300,000. That is to say: If, in the entire United States, with a total population of about 180 million, some 160, 000 more people of voting age had cast their ballots for Nixon, he would have won the POPULAR vote. THAT doesn't mean, of course, that if 160,000 more people had voted for Nixon he would have been ELECTED. Kennedy's ELEC TORAL vote approximated a landslide. That dramatizes rather in terestingly the fact that the BIG states swing a lot of weight in Prcsidcnlial elections.- And, if you have fol lowed fairly -closely the counting of the votes, you must have noted that the BIG CITIES swing a lot of weight in determining the vote of the big states. Our economy is changing. The big city vote is increas ing in importance and the country vote is DECREASING. QTRAW In the wind note: " In Oregon, the voters ap pear to have been highly tax conscious in their voting on money measures on Tuesday. They VOTED DOWN those that seemed likely to IN CREASE TAXES. They approved two meas ures involving expansion of the state's credit-a proposal to increase the amount of money evailable for farm and home loans for veterans and another proposal to build col lege dormitories to be paid for by the students who will live in the dormitories. Neith er involved an immediate In crease in taxes. In California the voters, who have been rather gener ous in the past in the way of salaries for members of the legislature, defeated de cisively a measure proposing a further increase in legisla tors' pay. QUESTION: Are the voters getting tax conscious? If so, it might be a good sign.
