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. Corvalhs Gaz

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

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.

The Birth?
Some say the Birth of Christ could not have
been in December. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
