P1 VA' Railroad Fight A most interesting activity, being reported bit by bit in current news, is the "come-back" fight of American railroads. Newspapers and magazines are beginning to put together apparently isolated incidents, fitting them into a pattern which indicates that our vari ous railroad companies important spot in the system atter many years This new "lifting" process is quite apparent when consolidations, stock purchases, tariff changes, efforts to eliminate alleged featherbed ding, competition with truck lines, reduction of passenger service, and other such activities are fitted into a pattern. a e ")NE activity due to arouse much local interest, perhaps participation, is the fight between the Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe to gain control of Western Pacific. Both rail lines are making vigorous efforts to take over the Western Pacific. Control means much to this particular area which, very probably, would find considerable benefit by a Southern Pacific victory. The fight for control of Western Pacific is only one small part of the overall program to im prove the status of railroads. Having slipped far down the economic ladder, railroads now are reassessing their position. Working both in co operation and in competition they are apparently striving to again become transportation. IN THE early days of fore railroads our centers of population hug ged waterways. A few miles from rivers and canals our country was wilderness. Railroads changed that picture. Centers of population, land development, industry, followed rail lines. But the transportation system underwent another change when trucks and highways were develop ed. Communities no longer were dependent upon either water or rails. The system was further ad vanced by the airplane, a means of rapid trans port. Railroads, however, seemed content to drift. They ranted against use of highways by trucks. They boosted rates, until they priced themselves out of business. They sought government subsidy. They kicked against regulation. In very late years they appear to have decided to get tough. rNE of the things to which I have objected most v vigorously has been the program to kill off local passenger service. Passenger trains aren't profitable. Railroad after railroad has been dis continuing local service. Many operations were killed off just as the "Friendl', Southern Pacific killed off passenger service in southern Oregon with its "Nightcrawler." Railroads have eliminated many of their branch lines. "Railroads are too big," one official observed. They now appear to be seekine the job of handling heavy transportation, eliminatine unprofitable or low-profit operations, reducing wiia, uiey cnarge is costly leatnerDeaaing, at me same time lowering rates they built up so high -L -i it. - ; . , ii.

An American, Period To the Editor: This is a post script to our recent post-elec tion musings In your columns, prompted by a sad spectacle I witnessed at a local theater last Friday afternoon. Mostly children trom toddlers to teenagers, with only a sprink ling of adults, all obviously were equally enthusiastic arm chair adventurers enjoying Walt Disney's latest nature film. Except during one brief newsreel Incident, I was most favorably Impressed by these children's good behavior. Mostly on their own with very few attended by adults, one might have expected some horseplay; but there was nothing more disorderly than a few flattened popcorn con-' talners flying about, which no one seemed to mind. But that one exception startled and troubled me greatly. The newsreel had brief shots of Senator Kennedy and Vict President Nixon, first, separately and then together at their recent meeting in Florida (a gesture, Incidental ly, which should disarm the Senator's opponents and augur well for lnter-party coopera tlon in dealing with the great issues confronting the nation), Mr. Kennedy was booed loud ly while only a few lusty whistles Indicated approba tion. These demonstrations were reversed when Mr. Nix on appeared alone. When the two greeted each other very cordially and, smiling broad ly, shook hands warmly aa old Senate colleagues - the chil dren fell into punted silence. Obvtously, these children reflected only the political coloration of their parents. They hardly could hav acted upon their own political rea sonlng or appraisal. Here, as In everything else, parents at tltudes, comment and conduct had proved a powerful educa tive Influence - but what a perversion of true education In, or for, democracy. Evi dently a majority of the par ents of these youngsters had Inculcated hate, malice or at least suspicion toward the man who soon will assume the awful responsibilities and bur dens of the office ot President of the United States - of our whole nation - and by virtue ot that office, as chief defend' er and protector of the free dom and peace of the world It should be axiomatic that the exalted office of the presi dency Is due respect and hon or on the part of all cltiiens, regardless of Its occupant's political party affiliation. Therefore, 'he parents of these children have a great and sol emn obligation to correct the evil they have done, however unwittingly, and from here on out by setting nobler exam ples of good citizenship to their offspring. As another writer has put it: "The only question the true American ever asks is not, Are you a Protestant or Cattv ollc, Gentile or Jew, white or colored, but, Are you an American? If you are, then give me your hand, for I am an American too." Arnold Eugene Jenny Rogue Valley Manor Medford Thoughts en Transients To the Editor: I have read with much Interest all that I have seen printed, both news Items and letters to the editor, regarding tht two men held In "restricted custody" as wit nesses to a murder. In each and all of these articles I have read it appears there has been a great over sight. This oversight Is that no provision hss been made for the protection of these wit nesses, but I am very pleased to learn that these men have Mnact been given their freedom and the case closed. However, in the Nov. 23 issue of the Mail Tribune I found a letter In which the writer took others to task tor questioning the justice of the detention of these men under the circumstances, and stating "they are forgetting these two men are being held because they are transient" also "the only Inconvenience they have Is not being free to roam." Dear writer, let us explore these statements: Firstly, my dictionary defines "transient" as being temporary, as regards workers, temporarily employ, ed. You say you worked at a drive-In two fruit seasons. Rather temporary, in fact you could be regarded as tran sient. During World War II this type transients were classified by the U.S. Government as Migratory Farm Labor" and deemed to be enough, impor tance to be given higher pri ority rating than fixed labor ers, tn that they could get gas for long trips to fields where they were needed, also tires for their cars. The Importance of these workers is graphical ly Illustrated each year in our own valley when the fruit season rolls around. Not only would the fruit In dustry suffer a mortal blow, but another large industry of this area (logging and saw mills) would be badly hurt if there suddenly came a short age ot temporary workers, for these workers are moving about quite freely and often by no desire ot their own, and a shortage of this kind would render many who proudly consider themselves perma nently employed, "transient." Please, do not speak so dis paragingly of the migratory worker. They are or sucn im portance that the lumber In dustry, crop harvesting, high- wav construction, oil wen drilling, food processing and large scale construction In general would suffer from a shortage of these, wno num ber hundreds of thousands In our land. About being "free to roam," this is one of the freedoms which is left for us to enjoy, and If removed or denied would be of such inconveni ence as to revolutionize our conception of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Let us enjoy it and indulge in it as suits our individual needs or wishes. C. R. Burrlll 121 Vilas rd. W. Central Point, Ore. Replr to Critic To the Editor: I have sent the following letter to Mr. T. B. Wilcox, of Portland, Ore.: Dear Sir: Your letter to the Medford Mail Tribune, re garding certain toilet facilities being too close to the dining room, misses the boat, some what. The 4 foot hallway you refer to is actually 8 feet wide. The nearest distance to any food handler in the dining-room is actually over 30 feet and through two walls. The closest any member can sit to those facilities is ap proximately SO feet. Bring your little tape lint with you, next time. - After all, we are not all morons out her and could find other things to complain about which would be leg itimate.

The M48 Is standard or American armored forc es, and Is suc cessor to the Mil which was developed on a crash 71 rauTNKWsoM basis during the Korean War. British hopes apparency are based on criticism by some Americans who have de scribed the M48 as a gas eater and who do not like some of It optical equipment but say in general it Is a satisfactory weapon. France also has been considering its purchase. the writer, although under publication ia permissible. This just arrived, from my husband, Sgt. Owen Williams, who is stationed on Okinawa He also, like the others, asks the same question, "Why weren't these orders issued four years ago?" Most of us stateside under stand why. At any rate, It's rather an Interesting sheet. Mrs. Mary Williams 358 Orr dr. Central Point, Ore. Editor's note: The enclosure in Mrs. Williams' letter was a page from the Okinawa Morning Star, - including a story entitled "Most Ameri cans Here Resent Go Home Order." It told of the attitudes of servicemen and their families to the money-saving order, and one paragraph said: Clubs, commissaries and housing areas all buzzed with the news. The big question was what happens now? How does this affect us? A survey of military dependent reveal ed that a majority of the Americans here resented the order. They felt, as one man put it, 'They ay that tht American military man is used to sacrificing. I think I've done all the sacrificing I care to do. It certainly isn't asking too much to keep our families together.'" Thr Were Luckr To the Editor. This concerns the parties who didn't get caught stealing turkeys on the Tuesday night before Thanks giving between the hours of t and 10 p.m. You have a lot to be thank ful for, because you didn't know, of course, my husband was in the wrong turkey lot with his shotgun.' All it cost you wa the gas you used running up and down the road until you made your theft. It cost us 8 months of feed to get him big enough for market. So, brother, you'd better think twice next time because my husband may bt in the right lot. Mrs. Morris Byrne Route 2, Box 65 Jacksonville, Ore. God's Standards To the Editor: Righteous ness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any peo-ple.-Prov. 14-34. We read the editorial, "An Aspect of Free dom," In the Thanksgiving Tribune and were taken aback. It Is neither pleasant nor easy o take issue witn the editor, for we respect his place as editor, and his views on many things. Felicia Hemans said of our Pilgrim forefathers, . "They have left unstained what there they found - Freedom to wor ship God." Is the "Aspect of Freedom" the editor picture compatible with freedom to worship God? Who can wor ship God In spirit and in truth, and at the same time be free to break His express com mand, "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the Sabbath-: in it thou shalt not do any work.'' Ministers have i bounden duty to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up - voice like a trumpet and shew - transgression, and - sins," for sin Is a reproach to any people. Well did Isaiah say (3.10,11) "Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: tor they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him." No. Mr. Editor, it will not pay to be a wicked breaker of Ood's law. "Open seven days, a week for your con venience" virtually pillows your path of evil and helps you to b lawltsi and a law- Support for NATO The showdow on who pay. how much toward the support of NATO may come at the NATO ministers' coun cil meeting In Paris In mid December. U.8. Treasury Sec retary Robert B. Anderson served notice tn visits to Al lied capitals that the United States intends that prosper ing European nations shall take some of the financial burden off America's back. Failure could mean a cut In U.S. forces now stationed In Europe. At the Barricades Paris newsmen say not to expect Jacques Soustelle and other "French Algeria" poli tics to take lying down De Gaulle's drive tor an Algerian "republic." Soustelle, 20 years a De Gaulle supporter and po- litlcial mastermind who steer ed the 1SS8 Algiers settler re Washington Report ly WIIUAM FLIGHT OF THE DOVE Mexico City - In all life there comes a moment, a small distinct and poignant space in time when a man knows that a parting for ever is at hand. It may be a moment in battle when he is certain, beyond any mere prompting of mind, that he Is going forward into ulti mate crisis. He may live. He may die. But from an Instinct older by ages than reason he breaker. Is lawbreaking an aspect of freedom? Said the editor, "If the stores want to remain open to serve the peo ple who like the convenience of Sunday shopping, that's their privilege." By thl the editor says, an aspect of free- dom is the privilege to break God's law. Buying and selling on the Lord s day is not a convenience, it Is a direct breach of propriety when we are to be regulated by God's commands. Read the work of the great reformer Nehemtah in the 13th chapter, 15 to 22 Nehemiah, the Tirshatha (or governor), ' legislated against profaning the Sabbath, and it was stopped. .He did hot Inter fere with religious rights. He did interfere with seared con sciences who profaned the Sabbath and thus broke God's law. i. True ministers do not "sub stitute their advice for the individual consciences ot their congregations." They do lift up the standard ot God' com mands. Tragedy stalks the lower ing of God s standards. H. R. Bulman Route 4, Box 3 It A Medford A Comparison ' To the Editor: According to the Mall Tribune recently, the Republican Central Commit tee put the County Court "on the spot" for placing one name, Eve Nye, as their sug gestion for an individual to fill the term left vacant by Durno in the state senate, alter tne electorate had re fused to return her to office. If this Is true, by what norm of procedure can you justify your apparent ap proval of the frivolous sug gestion by Drew Pearson con cerning Charles O. Porter for the ambassadorship ot Vencz ulea (Mail Tribune, Nov. 25, I960)? The Mail Tribune and Drew Pearson have that peculiar tendency of confusing truth with "unsavory tactics" and "rootlng'-tootin' ' smear cam paign." That Durno backed up his charges against Porter with evidence In the Congres sional Record (you remember, that well known hate sheet), makes no impression on either of you. The violent reaction to Mr. Nixon during his . tour of South America was carefully designed and carried, out un der the leadership ot well dis clpled communists. Could Cyrus Eaton et al have plan ned the tumultuous wel come" of Charles O. Porter on his visit to Venezuela? Power In Venezuela rest in the hands of Romulo Betan court, whose communist ac tivities have been traced back more than thirty years. Port er was wrong about Castro, whose communist activities go back to shortly after he left high school. How much, long er -HI it take Porter with his "agile mind, his immense en ergy, and his boundless good will" to "discover" this? We hop he learns soon, but feel it quite unnecessary to have him on the public payroll In order to do It. Robert J.

The reason: He doesn't like all the proto col he has to observe, and would like to lead a simple life. . t. WHITI Is absolutely sure that at all events he will never, never be the same again. It may b only that trifling moment when it suddenly atrikes a man that melodies he had long loved have gone from his memory -when a little and unimportant form of dream ha left him for so long as he may live. Such a moment is significant only to those who value a kind of improvident happiness above what is best for us. It has now come, I believe, In Mexico. npHIS land for all its strides -- in the past few years, Is not, of course, a decisive weight in the cold war or anything like that. The fate of no possible world hangs upon what they do or say in Mexi co. All the same, a moment of parting is here and it deserv es recognition by all who have cherished . this crazy. this gallant and sometimes brutal land. For now, while the Mexicans are celegratlng the 50th anniversary of the 1810 revolution, the brisk and reasonably well-fed present is In every way overcoming the colorful, the hungry past. Those were wonderful songs of the old Mexico - of the dove that flew -away, of tht vaquero lamenting that hi girl has abandoned him for very small faults like his habitual drunkenness and his already existing marriage. Some of them are still being sung - a bit, in these last days of the parting. But they are, I suspect, being sung for the last time in a national celebration in an ill-nation way. e. A LITTLE while longer and mainly one will hear in Mexico only thos rather brit tle or else stickily sentimental tunes so familiar in any juke box In Denver or Des Moines. The new way, with all its undoubted blessings but also with all its mechanical spitit, has come to old Mexico. , A day or two ago in Puebla, a town which was old In 1680, this correspondent sat in a bull ring and saw one of the last, dying samples of the cul ture of that old Mexico. It was a day in commemoration ot the revolution. At the start there were a very few dances Which went back to the dis tant Aztecs. But this was only the smallest bow to the past. Tht great bulk of the show came in the coldly drilled and coldly precis gymnastics of thousands of schoolboy and schoolgirls, don not to "La Paloma" but to the airs one hears every day in New York or Chicago.
