What Poverty Can Do "How many Cubas do you need before you realize what poverty can do.' asked raul 0 Hoffman, director of the United Nations Specia t und, in an address last week. Tensions rising throughout the world must be channeled constructively against the illiteracy poverty and chronic ill health existing among al most two-thirds of the people of the world, Hoff man said. Utilize fully their physical and human resources and the personal incomes of the people of the world will increase 25 per cent in this decade and remove most of the causes of unrest, It now grows at the rate of one per cent a year He added : "We have to quit thinking of assistance as charity. The United States government has no right to take lax money and devote it to charity. It must be used in the national Interest and the national interest depends upon full development of all the world and its people." IJOFFM AN wants the United States attitude to move away from the concept of economic as sistance as an instrument of the cold war and to assume that the war is against poverty, illiteracy ami uiiiess, nui against, communism. the two are one and the same. For commun ism uses poverty, illiteracy and illness to conquer nations, as in Cuba, to establish a base for new aggressions. Reduce poverty, illiteracy and illness and you reduce opportunities for communism to spread and overwhelm us. But we must never lose sight of the fact that the ultimate goal is a free world.

Oil Exploration Humble, an oil company which recently abandoned a hole drilled 12,093 feet into the old volcanics northwest of Lakeview, is to make another try to find oil in Lake County's land of tilted mountains and old lakes. A new hole will be drilled not far from Goose Lake, about four miles south of Lakeview. What is Humble's interest in this same area, after nulling- tools out of the deen hole northwest of Lakeview? ... LJERE, apparently, is the story of the decision to drill at Goose Lake: For many years there has been a gas well in that area, where a rancher in earlier years at tempted to tap water. The gas actually burns, and has been known to flame seasonally until drown ed by heavy rains. It was presumed that the gas coming from the old well was of the methane type. This is the so-called swamp gas, quite common in old lake bed areas. Recent tests have revealed that there is more than methane coming from the old hole. ' Mixed with methane are other gases, some of the types associated with oil. Humble apparently has decided to try to find the source of the gas that has been bubbling irom the Goose Lake well these many years. Bend Bulletin. . . , Roll Call for Electors "The first Monday after the second Wednes day in December is the date fixed by law for residential electors to meet and cast their bal- ota in the various states. This election year the date falls on Monday, Dec. 19, and after that date, the men receiving a majority of the electoral ballots are officially recognized as the rresidenl-elect and the Vice President-elect. This is true even though the bal lots are not counted in Congress until Jan. 6, two weeks before the new President s term begins. Ordinarily, these state ceremonies rate little attention. But the thin margin of victory on Nov, 8 for John F. Kennedy added spice to the meet ing of electors this year. MOREOVER, Kennedy probably will be denied Mississippi's eight electoral votes and six of the 11 in Alabama. Those are the votes of un pledged elector candidates who won. President-designate Kennedy should receive a total of 300 or 303 electoral votes from the various states, with 269 necessary for a majority. the nagging uncertainties surrounding the electoral college system this year have revived support for reform. But the divergence of opinion on exactly what form the change should take is so great that early action by Congress can be all but ruled out. b.K.K.

Shepherds would not have had flocks in the hills in Judea s winter, and travel which supplies much of the background of the Christmas stnrv. wnnlrl hiivp llfipn rliffiniilt Tl-io Gospels give no clue to the actual date of Christ's birth, and early historians were not scrumilous aoout, mis sore or aetau. He could hardly have been born, for that mat ter, in 1 A.D., as the present calendar would in dicate. Herod the Great, who ordered the slaying of infants under the age of two in Bethlehem in order to kill the Christ Child, died in 4 B.C. More over, Herod heard of Him only when the Wise Men there may have been three or there may have been as many as a dozen arrived from the East (Persia or Chaldea), and that entailed a camel journey of 1000 to 2000 miles. "The Na tional Catholic Almanac" aOSfi, nlnoes the Adoration of the Main in 5 B.C Hip Riith nf Christ two years earlier. E.R.R. Disgraceful To the Editor: Who done it? The party or parties who smeared paint on the statue In our city park across from the Medford hotel at West Main and Holly sts. should be punished to the limit. l think it is ine most dis graceful thing I have ever seen. Whether they are grown ups or teenage brats, to think they would stoop so low as to do such a malicious and de trutive thing. Then to top that off, someone, perhaps the same party, smeared the same color paint all over our neigh bor s porch number and steps. I go through the park when do my shopping and it al ways looks so nice, and in the summer, I go up there quite often to sit and enjoy meeting other friends there too. They say, "Keep Medford Beautiful." Well, how can we, when something like this hap pens? It sure must be a sorry sight for visitors to see when they visit our city park. It must give people a nice Impression of some of the brats that run around the streets at all hours of the day and nights. Whoever did this must be real proud of themselves. It sure is a nice thing to look at especially during the Christ mas season. It sure is a dis grace (o the community and whoever did it should be made to clean it up at their own expense and time. Boy, would I like to catch the one or ones that are doing these destructive things. would sure try to teach them a lesson to remember, that their parents forget to teach them. Kids nowadays have too much freedom for their own good. Or is it the parents who arc at fault? Whoever did this awful thing sure Is a disgrace to our community. (Name on file) Medford. Correcting the Record To the Editor: This will acknowledge with thanks the notice in Thursday's Mail Tribune regarding my win ning the first place award in the Oregon-Washington con test of National Housewares Festival held last October. To set the record straight Acme Hardware Co. won the award and I merely accepted it on behalf of the company and staff. The overwhelming success of the promotion, as conceived and carried out the matically, was the result of a combined effort on the part of Mrs. Manno, Mrs. Emma Johnson and Mr. Mike 'Alto bello. Also sharing in the hon ors should be the advertising display department of the Mail Tribune and copy writers of radio stations KMED and KBOY. Needless to say, we are thrilled at having won, con sidering that the contest was open to 485 Independent Re tail Hardware association member stores located in near ly every city, town and ham let in the states of Oregon and Washington. Tony Manno, Acme Hardware Co. Medford. TB Workers To the Editor: The Jackson County TB and Health asso ciation wishes to thank the women of Medford and Phoe nix for their volunteer work in getting mailing lists, typing and labeling done for the 1960 Christmas Seal campaign. The stuffing and sealing was done by the 50 Plus club. The sorting and bundling was done by Girl Scout Troops 22, 192, 84 and 181. Mrs. Bonnie Brindley of Barry and Brindley Business Service folded 16,000 of the Christmas Seal letters. The I960 Christmas Seal campaign could not have been conducted so successfully without the help of all these people. Again our sincere thanks to all of them and best wishes for a happy and healthy holi day season. Irean Grigsby Publicity Chairman Box 126 Jacksonville, Ore. Dirt-Hands or Mind? To the Editor: It looks as if in addition to Communism we are also being threatened with Vile Domination, or at least dictation, from Hindus; or are there other countries that consider the cow sacred? It also looks as if a person doesn't need to be informed on any subject to be a critic, as long as he is a majority unto himself and was born in the good old U.S.A. I have read some place that a belief in God and the Bible brings peace of mind and a benevolent attitude toward ALL men; so I can't help but feel that some are being short changed. How easy it is to assume that anyone who doesn't share the same misconceptions and delusions as ourselves are Communists or Dirty Some things or Other at least. And certainly weren't born in this fair land of ours that has never yet produced a wrong thinking man. I'm sure that a check on the members of the Civil Liber tics Union would show a di versified group of Individuals whose common bond is a be lief in and a rare concern for the Constitutional rights of all men. By the way, this is written by an atheist who is certainly dirty most every day; dirt acquired from working - it is on my hands where it washes off, not in the mind. David L. Harris Route 1, Box 421 ; Talent, Ore. Cards for Patrick To the Editor: Patrick is a 5V4 year old boy, critically ill with acute leukemia. He is calling for Christmas cards. So, good people of Medford and vicinity, please send him a Christmas card. It will be his last Christmas. Send to this address: Patrick Providence Hospital Pediatric Dept. Portland, Ore. Thank you. Lillian Green 2411 Sunset court Medford or permit that destructive process to resume. Such a tack in his chair probably would drive Dillon out of it. Dillon is billed as and qualifies as a Republican. He is not, however, and never was, an organization party man. More precisely, Dillon should be described as a bank er, international and domestic. Uneasy Seat His position in the cabinet could become uncomfortable if Kennedy's proves to be a soft money administration. No president, of course, deliber ately would adopt policies des tructive of the nation's money. Franklin D. Roosevelt was a hard-money man who entered the White House pledged to reduce government expenses by 25 per cent. Events over whelmed FDR, of whom it has been said he didn't quite un derstand the theory of money, anyway. Roosevelt's economy pro tram faded away by the third month of hit first term and before that term ended, he had taken the United States off the gold standard. Whatever Kennedy's fiscal ideas may be as of now, events and pres sures may change them. He will be a labor-oriented presi dent committed basically to the have-nots, and, further, committed by the Democratic platform to big time spending. The Have-Nois The most numerous have not element in the United States is composed of Ne groes. The most effective big time spending pressure is gen erated by Big Labor. Kennedy is heavily mort gaged to Big Labor and to Ne groes. They put much of the muscle into his bid for the White House. Perhaps Dillon asked Ken nedy whether he would at tempt to influence the Fed eral Reserve Board (FRB) to reduce interest rates, or for any other purpose. Kennedy was asked that (by the Scripps - Howard newspapers) during the campaign. His an swer seemed to add up to: Maybe. Harry S. Truman tried that. HST was a soft money man; had an "easy money bias;" the FRB beat down and condemned Truman's move as an effort to make the reserve system a dollar-destructive en gine of inflation. Republicans littered plenty, but not all, of the campaign fears about the safety of the dollar under Kennedy. On Oct. 27, 1960, the New York Times endorsed Kennedy for president, but with a notable qualification. "We must state frankly," said the Times editorial en dorsement, "that there is one aspect of the Democratic cam paign which gives us concern. This relates to the question of fiscal policy." Kennedy didn't like that. He confided to friends that he believed he knew the identity of the Times man who caused it to be written. Foreign Desk: New Cardinals; Khrushchev Berlin Strategy By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst From the foreign news cables: In the Day's News By 'RANK JENKINS World Getting Better? To the Editor: Is the world growing better? It is generally agreed that by the end of this century China will have a population of 1,000,000,000 people. Will this be good for China, for the United States, or for Russia? The last named country, in my opinion, will have the most to worry about. Let her worry. Will there be a conflict be tween races? With the emer gence of the black race in Africa, held down for centu ries, the issue of school inte gration in this country could bccome,of vital importance. Maybe more education for both black and white seg ments of our population is essential. I don't pretend to know the answers to anything! I am Just wondering. David Frisch P. O. Box 292 White City, Ore. Hospital Praised To the Editor: I have just returned to my home here in Klamath Falls after having been a patient in Sacred Heart hospital for two weeks, where 1 have had the most wonderful care and consideration shown me by the Sisters and all the staff I have com in contact with at Sacred Heart. The people of Medford are very fortunate to have such a fine medical center and hos pitals to serve their needs. Again thank you one and all at Sacred Heart. Mrs. A. Norman 2120 Holabird st. Klamath Falls, Ore. Some interesting figures: In the Oregon deer season just closed, hunters started 254 forest lires which burned' 1,200 acres of prime timber land. , Hunters left 414 unattend ed warm-up fires on federal lands and nearly 100 on state and private lands. A warm-up fire is started to get the hunt er warm after a chilly morn ing. When left burning, a vag rant breeze could blow it up into a holocaust. Of the 254 forest fires that were started by hunters in the season recently closed, 162 were reported by U. S. Forest Service fire officials, and 92 were reported by officials of the Oregon State Forestry Department. New Cardinals Pope John's announcement of the appointment of four new cardinals raises the com plement of the Roman Cath olic Church's "senate" to 86, and church sources say he intends to raise the num ber to 100 or more. Of the four new cardinals, only one was Italian. There are now 32 Italians in the College of Car dinals where their numerical Kswiom ' strength has been diminishing steadily for the last 10 yean. The question now is: Will the next Pope be a non-Italian? The last non-Italian Pope was Pope Adrian VI of Utrecht Holland, who reigned from 1522 until 1523. Khrushchev Strategy NATO sources meeting in Paris believe the first inter national test of President-elect John F. Kennedy's adminis tration may come over the Berlin issue, . with Nlklta Khrushchev attempting either to force a new East-West sum mit meeting before the Ken nedy regime if properly on its feet or carrying out his threat to sign a separate treaty with Communist East Ger many. . The Russians might Washington Report y WIIUAM S. WHITi TPHESE figures are startling ' enough by themselves. When they are compared with the record of the year before they are even more startling. For example: Hunter-caused fires report ed this year by Forest Service officials totaled 162. This com pares with 66 last year. Those reported by Oregon State For estry Department officials came to a total this year of 92. This compares with only 35 reported in the previous year. Which is to say: Hunter carelessness with fire is INCREASING. The to tal this year was TWO AND A HALF TIMES last year's total. THESE figures are reported by Arthur Priaulx, presi dent of the Keep Oregon Green association - who adds, after reporting them, that Oregon hunters may be BURN ING THEMSELVES OUT OF THE FORESTS. What he means is that if this carelessness with fire con-, tinucs and goes on INCREAS ING hunters may be barred out of the woods. Or, at the very least, they may find themselves compelled to pay fabulously high prices for hunting license. He says: "The increasing vandalism and damage from forest fires started by hunters is a public disgrace. There is need for vastly Increased patrol of for est lands during the hunting season. The cost of this patrol ling SHOULD BE BORNE BY THE HUNTERS, for they get free use of forest lands on which owners pay taxes." About t h e only way to make the hunters bear the cost of patrolling would be to increase SHARPLY the price of licenses. WHAT to do about it? Mr. Priaulx offers this suegestion: 'We need a CODE OF ETH ICS for hunters, an honor sys tem which other hunters will enforce. The alternative is closure of more and more lands to hunting. We cannot continue to jeopardize our POLITICAL REALISM Washington -(UPD-President-elect Kennedy is building his foreign policy base with first attention not to those lofty blueprints so a p p ealing to the theoreti e i a n. Rather, he is givin? top priority to the. homely realities in the Cong r e s s of wmte me unnto States. The strategy he has chosen is that of a man who is first and foremost a professional politician. His basic assump tion is that in foreign affairs it will do little good to pre pare splendid programs simply wowing the experts all the way from United Nations, N. Y., to New Delhi if you don't first capture Pocatello and Paducah. Kennedy, in a word, is building his fences with Con gress - the graveyard of so many fine foreign policy de signs - before trying to re make the world. This is the real motive be hind his choice of Dean Rusk to be Secretary of State. Rusk comes in not because of his long professional experience and high expertness in diplo macy. He comes in, really, be cause he has an even more useful quality: the ability to get along with Congress, to be adequately tough without at the same time opening hos tilities between the White House and Capitol Hill. IN THE circumstances he be came an almost-inevitable choice - in the affirmative way because of his own quali fications; in the negative way because either Adlai E. Ste venson or Chester Bowles, his rivals for the post, would have been in trouble with Congress from the start. - In the months immediately ahead, the capacity to "get along on Capitol Hill" will be seen to be of matchless value. For it is no good blink ing the fact that in Congress are moving two erosive cur rents of great potential danger to the whole understructure of our permanent and funda mental world policies. There is growing disen chantment with large con tinuing outlays for foreign aid, especially at a time when too many American dollars are already held abroad. This is significantly observable even in such a key figure as the coming new Democratic lead er of the Senate, Mike Mans field of Montana. AND there is a slow, not fullv conscious but never theless perceptible-and alarm ing - tendency to draw a bit away from our traditional allies in the West. This is part ly because of the frictions in herent in the relationship. But it is partly because of an evangelical and emotional preoccupation among many with the so-called "emerging lands" in Africa and Asia. Now, Mr. Kennedy himself is "pro - African and pro Asian," as the current expres sion goes. He has, however, no smallest intention of becom ing President to preside over the liquidation of the Western Alliance. He wants to be friendly with and encouraging to the new, neutralist coun tries. But he has, all the same, no difficulty whatever in grasping the realities of American domestic political power. e IT IS at this vital point -the necessity to be "forward-looking" toward the new world abuilding without letting down the old world of our alliance - that Rusk will be indispensable. For he is at also use Berlin to divert at tention from Laos where they may be on the point of de ciding the future of Southeast Asia. More Algerian Troubles Look for, more trouble from the Moslems in Algeria before the year is out. Word is that the response of the city-based Arabs who stitched together rebel flags and demonstrated for hours under the guns of the French army, suprised even the National Liberation Front (FLN) command in Tunis, which now wii, lrv . exploit it.

And, even more important, Congress knows Rusk, and so Congress knows this - or, rath er, that responsible part of Congress which also believes in power. This part of Con gress must in the end be de pended upon to keep the new foreign policy missionary types from running off in so madly glowing a friendship with the neutralists as to risk the loss of allies having nasty but useful things like fleets and aircraft and divisions of troops.
