Shameful
We do not know all the legal hib and outs
of the matter. But we do know that the deporta
tion (pending as' this is written) of Hamisn Mc
Kay and William Mackie is a rank injustice.
Mackie was born in Finland, of American
parents, and lived there only until he was 10
months old. But for the accident of his parents
trip at the time of his birth, he would be an
American citizen.
MacKay is a Canadian, but has lived for
years in the United States.
Both of them, "during the depression-ridden
1930s, joined organizations with a pinkish tinge
(in common with hundreds of thousands of others
in those fear-breeding times).
ASA RESULT, the McCarran Act now dictates
their deportation despite the fact that in
the past decade both have lived as respectable
residents, and despite the fact that both disclaim
ever having been communists.
Also, despite the fact that the McCarran Act
was not in existence at the time they joined the
suspect organizations.

THE whole matter is disgraceful, and we agree
with Senator Morse when he says that it will
be a black eye for this nation throughout the
world if, in particular, Mackie is sent to a Finland

Morse has asked that

But nothing has as yet been done.

THIS is how it goes:
"A young man lived with his parents In a public

and participated in the 'free' lunch program. He
cntored the army, then upon dischargo retained his
National Life Insurance. He enrolled in the state
university, working part time in the state capitol
to supplement his GI education check. Upon gradua
tion he married a public health nurse and bought a
home with a FHA loan to go into business.
"A baby was born in the city hospital. He bought
a small ranch with the aid of the veterans land pro
gram, and obtained emergency feed from the govern
ment, Lator he put part of his land in the soil bank
altd the payments soon paid off his ranch. His father
and mother lived on the ranch very comfortably on
their Social Security and old age assistance checks.
REA lines supplied electricity, the government helped
him clear his land, the county agent showed him how
to terrace It, and the government built him a fish pond.
"He read books from the public library and his
banked money was insured by an agency of the gov
ernment, The children grew up, entered the public

ask the government to build a great new power dam
costing millions so the area could get 'cheap' elec

specific type of business special tax write-offs and
exemptions,
"Then one day he wrote his Congressman: 'I wish
to protest these excessive governmental expenditures
and attendant high taxes. I believe in rugged indi

WINNER AND LOSER
Washington - Winner and
loser alike are conducting
themselves in the best tradi
tion of American politics.
By his early appointments
Edgar Hoover, Allen Dulles,
Clark Clifford - and by his
statements, Mr. Kennedy is
showing hlmsolf fully aware
that, with his two-tenths of
one per cent majority, he
must create an administration
of national consolidation to
be effective.
He Is also quite right, I
think, In Insisting that, having
outlined his policies quite def
initely during the campaign,
he expects to press forward
with his main measures - de
fense, outer space, aid to edu
cation, minimum wage, and ef
forts to speed the rate of eco
nomic growth.
With Congress moving a de
gree or two to tne ngnt Dy
the addition of 2 more Repub
licans - even somewhat more
to the right than during the
short post-convention session-
President Kennedy is not go
ing to get everything he wants
exactly as he wants it, But
despite the narrowness of the
vote, he has no reason to
proceed on the premise he lost
the election. He won. And it
seems to me that the "Wash
ington Post" is right in saying
that "the closeness of the pop
ular vote Is perhaps a check
on strong partisanship, but it
Is by no moans a deterrent to
strong leadership.
M1
R. NIXON, too, is taking
a large-minded attitude.
His immediate post-election
appeal was to rally the coun
try behind the new govern
ment. Further, he took no
step to slow up the prompt
and orderly transition, even
though there appeared to be
about a 300-to-l chance that
recounting might alter the
outcome. Mr. Nixon is clearly
disposed to use constructively
his mammoth popular vote
and hot heckle or pettily hob
ble the new administration.
That is greatly to his credit.
Particularly because of his
fine showing at the polls, the
suggestion has been made that
Mr, Nixon should be offered,
Indeed induced to accept, a
high position in the Kennedy
administration. The theory is
that this action would help
unify the country behind the
new government.
I think this would be wrong
-wrong for Mr. Kennedy and
wrong for Mr. Nixon and
wrong for the country. It
would be undesirable, it
would be harmful. As one
who believes that some Re
publican appointments would
be helpful, I believe that Mr.

his young son stopped growing at the height of five

his arms and legs.
Somo weeks later the
friend asked if the treat

dumb tricks like that:
Nixon is from every stand
point exactly the man not to
name. Appointees like Doug
las Dillon. Thomas dates,
John McCloy, or Robert Lov-
ett, yes. Nixon, no.
A Nixon appointment - and
I can't believ he would ac
cept - would serve to divide
the country, not unite it. It
would deny to the millions of
Americans who wanted him
President the feeling that they
can have in Mr. Nixon an
independent voice through
whom to bring their views to
bear upon the government.
Mr. Nixon's voice ought to
be responsible and construc
tive - but not muted by par
ticipating in the administra
tion.
There is good precedent for
President Kennedy to name
some respected Republicans
to his cabinet. There is also
good precedent for not trying
to name the Republican presi
dential nominee. In 1940 in
face of the oncoming war with
Hitler - and also in face of
the oncoming election Mr.
Roosevelt tried to Inveigle
Alt Landon to accept a cab
inet post. He wisely refused.
F.D.R. then invited Henry
Stimson and Frank Knox to
become secretary of war and
secretary of the Navy. These
were prudent appointments
and Mr. SUhison 'and Mr.
Knox accepted.
IN LIGHT of the sacrifices
and exertions which the
accelerating defense mobili
zation in 1940 would require,
Presldont Roosevelt saw that
the nation required an admin
istration of national consolida
tion. It seems to me that Mr.
Kennedy faces exactly the
same necessity. The military,
economic, and diplomatic ex
ertions which Mr. Kennedy
has declared he will press
will be even more demanding
than the defense exertions of
1940. And they are less easy
to expound. Can , the President-elect
safely embark upon
them with anything less than
un administration of national
consolidation?

The President-elect's first
order of urgent international
business is not, as it turns
out, to shore
up the alli
ance by direct
American
action to
s t r e n g t hen
our allies, but
to shore it up
by persuading
our allies to
action that
will strength
en America.
Our system of alliances has
never been nut to its funda
mental peace-time test. That
comes when we seek to dis
cover if the system works in
both directions; until now it
has worked mostly in one di
rection, with America the
habitual giver and guarantor.
Now we need our allies' quick
and concerted help, and it is
possible that by the time these
words are printed something
sizable may have been done.
We have to ask them to
save, not American soil or
cities, but the value of the
American dollar. They have
it in their power to break
down the dollar because cen
tral banks abroad hold around
ten billion in dollar secur
ities, and if they should fol
low the recent rush of the
private speculators into gold,
the dollar will crack in world
markets-It has already been

that live In and around Medford.
Two men are in Jail in Med
ford because they were doing
what they knew to be right.
They helped the police catch
a man that, according to news
accounts, admitted he had just
beat and stomped a man to
death.
Now bear in mind they
have been in jail for some two
or three months, and probably
will be there until about
Christmas time. Quite a pros
pect for them for Christmas,
isn't it?
Also aulte an example of
justice to set before our chil
dren, don t you think?
It s apt to cause them to be
so helpful in the future.
Number two, on the other
hand, an eminent attorney
was arrested, tried, and found
eullty on a charge of embez
zlement, and was given a few
months In "an Institution of
correction." I believe that was
the term used In describing
the sentence, and according to
the paper he now has several
more counts charged against
him, or Is under consideration
for same.
He is out on bond, free and
unrestrained, pending an op-
peal, to carry on as his con
science dictates,
Really quite a contrast isn't
it?
Also quite an example to
set up for everyone, especially
the youngsters?
It seems to me the very
least that could be done to
square the scales of justice
would be for those two men to
be paid an amount at least
equal to what they would
have been able to earn, had
they been allowed to work
instead of being thrown in
jail, Yes really quite an ex
ample of justice?

The question comes. Is only

everything that is legalized
"psychologically" devalued
and the long, post-war period
of America's bold generosity
with troops, weapons, loans,
grants and investments abroad
would fairly surely begin to
close. The new President
could find, struggling with an
angry Congress, that America
will be "on the move again,"
but back toward previously
unprepared positions, not to
ward his new frontiers.
The best of our allies are
anxiously aware of this pos
sibility; the Russians are
eagerly aware of it. Both are
coming to believe, though
with different emotions, that
unless the dollar is strongly
bolstered-and now-Mr. Ken
nedy cannot initiate his do
mestic spending program for
defense and welfare without
further and possibly disas
trous consequences to the dol
lar's buying and charity pow
er abroad. Operating a basi
cally Inflationary program at
home and an international
currency abroad presents a
fundamental dilemma. Mr.
Kennedy is caught squarely
in it.
In considerable measure the
present fierce pressure on the
dollar is the result of our bold
generosity in spending with
our allies. It is perfectly true
that we have done this in our
own long-term interest. It is
also perfectly true that tin
less they now exhibit a bold
generosity toward saving the
dollar, their own long term

(By M-T Staff and Contributors)
The "post mortem" exami
nations of the late and un-
lamented election have been
coming fast and furious, and
undoubtedly will continue for
weeks, months, maybe even
years, to come.
One of the best approaches
to this that we have seen is
in the column operated in the
Capital Journal of Salem by
Vic Fryer. The other day he
presented a glossary of terms
used by winning candidates,
together with what they
REALLY mean.
Here are some of them:
"An opportunity and a
challenge" (I don't know Just
what s going on yet).
'We must close ranks'
(Now if the opposition will
just get off our backs . . .).
"The trend toward conser
vatism (or liberalism) . . ."
(The voters know how I fool,
and that's the kind of govern
ment they'll get).
"A debt of gratitude to
those who elected me" (You
faithful party workers line up
and I'll see what I can get for
you).
"A glorious economic fu
ture" (You'll make dough if
vou follow my Ideas),
"The unswerving loyalty of
the people" (It's a good thing
the party has a lot of straight
ticket voters).
"Bucked the tide . . ." (Boy,
was I lucky to win when the
rest of the party candidates
couldn't make it).
"A pledge to work for the
most good for the most peo
ple" (What's good for the
party Is good for the country).
"A continuity in political
direction" (Where do we go
from here?).

quite clear that in mose cases
their envoys to us outmatch
our own to them in experi
ence, sophistication and lin
guistics. One may add to this
NATO and the UN. For Eu
rope, the bizarre truth is that
our most distinguished and
impressive diplomat is a sol
dier, General Norstad.
The appointments may have
been made by the time this
is printed. For the record
then, if for nothing else, let
It be said once more that,
besides Mr. Acheson, the one
American with ready-made
entry to the governments and
the esteem of, all European
allies is Mr. Stevenson.
It Is common gossip that
Mr. Kennedy is cool toward
Stevenson not only because
of his role in the convention
and in the pre-conventlon
rRISAT, WOVIMBEH U, 1980
Flattery, we are told, is
the art of telling someone
exactly what he thinks oi
himself.
I am a dog enthusiast,
Of all my friends, they're
not the last,
And like most dogs who like
each other,
It behooves us all to be a
"Brother".
The only laws that would
be needed
Are the ones most oft un
heeded! Love your dog, and keep
him home,
Well fed and housed, he'll
seldom roam
With canine Pals all over
town,
Visiting fire plugs and trees
around.
You have a dog, by your
own choice,
So train him well, with pa
tient voice.
He will wag his tall and lick
your hand,
And understand the laws
of man.
Heed not the rules and court
disaster,
For both the dog and for
his master.
In modern days with traffic
fast,
Running at large is In the
past!
But Nature being what It Is;
Certain things are a dog's
own biz!
There is no way, in spite of
pleading,
To make him quit his dirty
"deeding."
May friendly relations soon
be complete,
Yours, till Dog Catchers
become Obsolete!

Overheard at the Rogue
Valley Country Club: "By
the time a man can afford to
lose a golf ball, he can't hit
it that far."
An alert correspondent of
ours spotted a classified ad not
long ago which she enjoyed
so much she clipped it and
mailed It to us. In part, it
read:
"White lace wedding gown,
size 10. Purchased this year,
never worn, $30. 1885 20 ga,
shotgun. Needs repair, but
will fire by thumbing ham
mer, $5." -
Which caused our corres.
pondent to comment on this
poignant message: "Methinkg
there is more here than meets
the eye. Could It be the old
man accidentally thumbed the
hammer in his excitement?
Maybe he wasn't bluffing - or
did the sight of the ancient
weapon scare the prospective
bridegroom to death?"
- A man owes it to himself
to become successful, and
after that he owes it to the
internal revenue service.
An elderly gentleman was
addressing a group of Boy
Scouts, and gave a long speech
about morals, honor, decency,
honesty, etc., etc., and he con
cluded with this story:
"Boys I have never taken a
drink. I have never smoked a
cigarette or cigar or pipe. I
always go to bed by 10 p.m.
I have never left the table
overfull. I have never looked
at another woman but my
wife. And tomorrow I'll cele
brate by 87th birthday."
There was a short silence,
then a voice from the back of
the room asked:
"How?"
campaigning, but because of
Stevenson's "Indecisiveness."
Agonizingly indecisive he has
been, indeed. But a truth
about the man has finally
dawned on me and should be
understood by Mr. Kennedy
and his advisors as well. It
is this: that the agony of the
Indecision came Into play
only when Stevenson con
fronted decisions about his
own life, his personal future;
and his inherent modesty was
a strong element in these in
ternal struggles.
On objective problems Slev
enson is and always was a
thoroughly decisive man. This
was apparent as we watched
him make repeated tough de
cisions on the Illinois police
and Illinois patronage, for
example, when he was gov.
ernor. It was apparent in 1952
when he quickly took the
boldest Imaginable s ta n d s
against the tidelands oil pres
sure, against politically or
ganized labor, against the pro
fessional veterans and the Mc
Carthyites. It was apparent
in 1956 with his bold positions
on atomic testing, the draft
and the Middle East menace.
Whatever task he may be
given, we may all dismiss any
fears that Stevenson would
unnaturally prolong the re
solving of the objective pol
icy questions that come to his
desk.
