Like a well-trained and or ganized army the. thousands of fiddler crabs moved across the mudflat in ordered ranks. No particular one seemed to be the leader; none appeared to issue orders, yet they all mov ed as if they were all attached to the same string. It was an army without an officer-a horde of living crea tures moving as one toward an invisible destination away from the water's edge, each crab hurrying to get back into what to them must have seem ed like a forest, the weed patch that thickly covered the land at the extremity of tidal inundation. In the grass forest they search for food, each moving independently of its neighbor, but each certainly tuned to the silent signal that might send them scurrying for the water s edge if danger threatened.

Sarnoff, chairman of the board of the National Broad casting Co., says he would like to see television debates be tween presidential candidates become an American institu tion. Referring to the debates be tween vice-president Richard M. Nixon and President-elect John F. Kenedy prior to the election, Sarnoff said, "The programs have won almost universial recognition as major innovation in the DemJ ocratic process." Tremendous Impact 'By any criterion, they achieved tremendous impact, Sarnoff said in a monthly let ter to television and radio edi tors. "The interest they stimu lated in the campaign was, in my opinion, a key factor in the heaviest registration and the largest voter turnout in the nation's history." The debates, Sarnoff admit ted, "also attracted a small swarm of qualms and quib bles." But, he said, "as so fre quently happens in television, much of this criticism was in consistent and even contra dictory." "The criticism - which was greatly outbalanced by the praise - was directed mostly at the format." said Sarnoff, but ". . . the format was the only one the candidates them selves would accept. Left To Newsmen "It has been objected that the broadcasts left it mainly to newsmen rather than to the candidates themselves to de termine the issues (or discus sion." Sarnoff noted. However, he said, A study of the debates will show they covered every issue that the candidates raised in their own barnstorming all . over the country; the only exception was the religious issue, on which both men had. made their positions clear repeated ly before the debate began. "The American people should, and, I believe, will de mand that 'The great debate become a permanent institu tion, Sarnoff said. Telegram Quoted Sarnoff backed this conten tion by quoting from a tele gram he received trom Ken nedy last July 28 in which Kennedy said, "I believe you are performing a notable pub lie service in giving the Amer ican people a chance to see the candidates of the two ma jor parties discuss the issues face to face. The telegram was sent Sarnoff when Kennedy agreed to debate with Nixon. weed forest that misfortune befell a purple-marked male fiddler. He blundered into a clump of tough grass and be came so entangled he could scarcely move a leg. Complete exhaustion ovecame him; he lumped limply in the entan glement. Then, the true but unprovable happened - three fiddler crabs came to the aid of the troubled one. The rescue squad pulled and tugged; strand after strand of the weed was yanked. Obvi ously, they couldn't figure out which grass blade was the kay that held the knot together, so they pulled on each one sepa rately, one after another. Finally, one hard pull on the short end of a grass blade e 1 e a s e d the knot. The shackled one was freed; he was tired and exhausted; for several minutes he never mov ed. Then without a "thank you" or an acknowledgement he scampered away on his wobbly legs. Seems Useless In the higher order of ani mals many species are con scious of another's plight many instances are on record where an animal has helped another in distress, but it hardly seems possible that a fiddler crab would come to another's assistance. It would seem sucn a use less gesture for so many catas trophes befall these tiny crea tures in the course of every day. It hardly seems reason able that the saving of a single fiddler crab would further Nature's plan. Could it be that tncre are individual crabs, like people, who stand out above all their fellows, those who have an in born compulsion to help an other in distress? Compassion certainly isn t a virtue in the ranks of the fiddler crabs, yet even here there might be one among the hundreds of thou sands that would be a shade more solicitous than any of Its fellows. Too bad that so many true facts cannot be proved.

Oregon State Grange HONOR IKE'S PHYSICIAN Washington-lliPD-The Amer ican Medical Association non ored Maj. Gen. Howard McC, Snvdcr. President Eisenhow er's physician, last night for his contributions to tne rresi dent's health. Snyder was giv en a silver cigarette case at a dinner for officers and mem bers of the AMA's house of delegates. Eisenhower, in letter read at the dinner, said the "American medical pro fession could not have chosen a better man to honor tha Dr. Snyder." officers will preside. The con ference is open to all Grange members, but is of particular interest to Grange officers of the county, and they are urg ed to attend. National Goals Group Stresses Need for Energy Washington -UIPU- President Eisenhower's Commission on National Goals wants every state in the union to make progress "in good faith" by 1970 toward ending racial seg regation in public schools. In its long-awaited report lo the President, the commission denounced discrimination on the basis of race, religion and sex as "morally wrong, eco nomically wasteful and in many respects dangerous." "In this decade we must sharply lower these last stub born barriers," said the ad- page document. The commission urged an Americans to devote more of their time and energy "direct ly to the solution" of this and other national problems. Three commission members went further in the civil rights field by calling for an end to all discrimination in educa tion, employment, housing and public services by 1970. They were Clark Kerr, presi dent of the University of Cali fornia: James R. Killian Jr., formerly Eisenhower's science adviser, and George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO. Defend Right to Vote The commission declared that "the right to vote is basic" and should not be thwarted by traditional slate control of voting qualifications." The report was deliberately withheld until after the Nov. 8 presidential election to avoid any embroilment In partisan politics. 1 . The bipartisan commission of 11 distinguished Americans was appointed by Eisenhower last February to chart broad goals for the United States in the next decade and beyond. The chairman, Henry M. Wriston, president of Brown University from 1937 to 1055, and the Commission members served without pay. Staff and administrative expenses total ing $405,000 were financed by grants from seven private foundations. The commission pointed up the urgency of several prob lems - civil rights, science and technology, education, farm ing, health and housing, the general economy and main taining world peace. Emphasis on Individual But it put primary emphasis on the indivdual - his "infi nite" worth to the country and his responsibility to work on its behalf. Other major recommenda tions: Education must be strengthened "at every level and in every discipline." Com bined spending by govern ment and private groups for education should be doubled to $40 billion by 1970. "Knowledge and innova tion must be advanced on every front." But extravagant space programs should not be undertaken merely to satisfy "nationalistic competition." "We must remedy slum conditions, reverse the pro cess of decay in the larger cities and relieve the necessity for low-income and minority groups to concentrate there," Free Market Conditions There must be a gradual return to free market condi tions in agriculture "with a fair return to farmers." Spending at all levels of government is certain to rise. Tax rates probably "will con tinue at something like their present level through tho decade and may even have to be increased." There should be a broad reform of the fed eral lax system and "many slate governments must find new tax sources." OEA Unit Sets Meeting Tonight The Jackson county unit of the Oregon Education associa tion will hold its monthly meeting at the Jcwett Elemen tary school in Central Point at 7:30 o'clock tonight.

Hemingway in Spain's Doghouse Madrid, Spain-IUPD-Spanlsh bullfight "aficionados" saw red today over American nov elist Ernest Hemingway's crit icism of their bullfighting idol. Manual "Manolete" Ro driguez. "Manolete," who was the "Babe Ruth" of Spanish mata dors, was gored to death by a bull in Linares, Spain, on Aug. 28. 1947. The Nobel prize -winning author was under attack for a series of articles from his book "Dangerous Summer,' published recently in a U.S national magazine. National television critic Manuel Lozano Sevllla sug gested Monday that Heming way receive the same treat ment reserved for an inept performance by a bullfighter -that he be whistled in deri sion from the ring. Lozano took exception, along with many other per sons, to Hemingway's state ment that "Manolete" used cheap tricks" to fool an ig norant public." In the series, Hemingway wrote that the greatest bull fighter of them all is Anto nio Ordonez.
