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

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.

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.
