DECEMBER 22, 1960 Don 't Shoot a Cop About the stupidest thing anyone can do is to take a shot at a police officer. Offhand, we do not recall a single case where a policeman was shot, away with it. This is the onicials really bear down. And it's a good thing, too. Not that police officers are any more ex pendable than any other citizen far from it, But they are the backbone of our entire system of law and order, and to be injured or killed, to get away with it, threatens the entire system THERE are several reasons why almost no one 1 can get away free with a policeman. For one thing, the officer in question, if he survives, is in a position to make an immediate and informed call for help a call which is an swered rapidly and in force. For another, all law enforcement men take a dim view of anyone taking a shot at a brother officer. "There," they think to themselves, "but by the grace of God, go all-out. It is the instinct well as a natural fraternal affinity. And for still another, anyone who will use force and violence against a police officer is a pretty dangerous guy to have around. If he does not hesitate to tangle with a policeman, he d he even less hesitant about taking a shot at some helpless citizen. And officers of the law know this. CO, BOTH from the standpoint of the esprit de corps of the agencies involved, and from the standpoint of an orderly society, it is a good thing that policemen will expend their best ef forts to capture and bring to trial anyone who violently challenges their Without attempting to who was so rapidly apprehended yesterday after a shooting affray (and he will have his day in court), it is a tribute to the skill and facilities of the police these days that the job was done so rapidly. Only a fog which limited visibility to zero allowed him to escape in the first place, despite the swarm of officers who had him surroun ded. After that it was only a matter of time. Ra dios, teletypes, telephones, cars (and if necessary, planes) , organization; cooperation and know now, doom most hot suspects to almost immedi ate capture. And particularly if Home Rule In several Oregon counties, home rule study committees are at work, ernment with an eye to charters, to give the counties a greater degree of both responsibility and authority over their own affairs. ; Benton county is one been at work along lines done in Jackson county. bob Ingalls of the comments on their work "The biggest unresolved problem to date is what , to do about the basic county administration system. Should the three county commissioner system be re tained, or should it go to a county manager system? "Many people who recognize the weakness of the county commissioner system feci that it should be dis carded, but they would like to see more voter control over a county manager if this system were to be sub stituted. They are perfectly willing to let an elected county council hire the manager, but then they think he should later stand for election on his record." INGALLS goes on to discuss a proposal whereby the manager would so before the people every few years, not in contest suiipiy mi- a vote oi approuauon or rejection Dy the people a plan similar to the "Missouri plan tor judges. Such a proposal would have both good and bad points, Ingalls believes, but he thinks the bad outweighs the good. And he adds: "The alternative Is to let the counly council fire the manager who doesn't do his o' well, and let the people retain their control through their elected county council representatives. "This is the system we prefer and which we think is the most efficient. After all, the council Is much more aware of the manager's ability, his strengths and weak nesses than would be the rest of us. "But if following this system meant that the public would not vole for the change In our county system of government, then we would be glad to go along and try out having the manager run on his record." yUEN COMES Ingall's punch line: "The most Important thing Is lo get rid of the archaic system of county government under which we are now laboring svlicre no one is the boss and each department head runs things in his department as he darn well pleases and no one can tell him any thing and no one can fire him." County government as now constituted may have been fine 100 years ago, but it hag been amply demonstrated, over and over, that it is not responsive to today's needs and today's problems.

Bethlehem Story To the Editor: Would like to share a few thoughts which a : friend of ours forwarded to us in a Christmas letter. The min ister responsible for the re search work is Pastor H. M. S. Richards, the speaker of the Voice of Prophecy" radio program which is beard lo cally over KBOY each Sunday at 9 a.m. Will enclose a part of Hazel Lo veil's letter, as I believe your readers will ap preciate all that you may have space for. Harold J. Reith, 113 Briggs Bldg., Shady Cove, Ore. Editor's note: Portions of the letter follow: Perhaps a few thoughts about the little town of Beth lehem would be calming to holiday-frayed nerves. Just to forget our world of whirling wheels and to think of the mode of travel In the time of Augustus Caesar is soothing. Many Christmas cards picture Mary riding on a donkey, or the wise men rocking along on camels, or shepherds making their way on foot, all jour neying, at different times, of course, to Bethlehem. Are you ever tempted to think that nothing new can be said about the Christmas Story? Here are three facts all connected with Bethlehem that may be new to you, as some of them were to me, when I encountered them in Christmas Catechism" by H. M. S. Richards. One is about the Inn of Chimham. One is about Mlcah, and the third Is about the Edict of Hadrian. Chimham, a friend of Da vid's, had once been enabled by the gonorosity of David to build an Inn at Bethlehem. (II Sam, 19:37.) The people In the time of Jeremiah once as sembled at the Inn of Chim ham near Bethlehem. (Jer. 41:17.) Perhaps this was the inn where Jesus found ' no shelter, though it had been built through the kindness of his ancestor, David. The birth of Jesus in Beth lehem was the fulfillment of a 700-year-old prophecy by Mlcah. a contemporary of King Hezekiah. "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among tne thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall he come form unio me that is to be ruler in Is rael: whose goings forth have been from old. from everlast ing." (Mlcah 5:2.) Now the Jews knew this ana Deiievea It, but still the birth of Christ caut'ht them unprepared ana asleep. The wise men inquired of Herod: "Where is he that is born King of the Jews?" Herod asked the Jewish lead ers and they answered: ' In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus It Is written by the prophet, . . ." and then they quoted Micah. Thirty years later the people applied the same proh ecy to Christ. (John 7:41-42.) In A. D. 133 the emperor Hadrian compelled all Jews to leave Jerusalem and its vicinity, including Bethlehem. They have not been in tins strictly Christian city since. For the last 19 centuries no "son of David" could possibly have come from Bethlehem. Micah 5:2 was fulfilled once, and the date of that fulfill ment divides the centuries, all time being counted backward (B. C.) or forward (A. D.) from the night of Christ's birth. Foreign Policy To the Editor: There is one question, consistently clinging to my mind, as to why we should alienate our friends. I refer to Mexico. Our legislators are now en gaged in the forbidding of labor from Mexico in em ployment in the United MEDFOHD Menace S4NTA QMSIs'SVffiTO 66 HEART ATTACK necessarily represent the views ot me paper; in ion " I States. Do these individuals have any conception of that which this implies? We fought many a war and battle with Mexico. But, eventually, these people be came our friends. Permit me to describe these people. I was privileged to spend several years as their guest, and in various strata of their social structure. They are the most cour- eous, kindly, and generous people on this or any other part of the globe. They are also as determined in purpose as that which we attribute to this part of the globe. Have you seen the art, the colleges, the perfect -engineer ing, the schools; . the police force that holds down crime to a minimum? Why should there not be Communistic infiltration in our other nearest and closest neighbors? We take the po sition, on the one hand, that "los Norte Americanos" are almost perfect. And we, at the one and same time take the position that "Americanos del Sud" are completely in ferior. No wonder our foreign policy has been so inept. Kick your friends and help your potential enemies" has appeared to be the basic pre mise of the past administra tion. We had better change, and quick, for if we don't it's going to be too late.

Qualifications of D.O.i To the Editor: Recently published news stories report ing the possible merger of California osteopathic physi cians with the medical pro fession have given the im pression that standards for D.O.s in other states are lower than in the Golden State. We have received numerous inquiries about this matter and wish to correct that er roneous impression. Oregon's standards for os teopathic physicians and sur geons are as high as in Cali fornia, and are equal to those enjoyed by the medical pro fession. We have unlimited practice rights. All Oregon D.O.s are licensed by the Ore gon State Board of Medical Examiners, They must face the same licensing board as those of the medical profes sion, and pass similar exami nations. Upon licensing they have full practice rights for medicine, surgery, obstetrics, physical therapy, rehabilita tion and all other phases of modern medicine. Educational standards for the osteopathic profession re quire that D.O.s take their training at one of six osteo pathic colleges approved by the American Osteopathic as sociation. They must have at least three years pre-medical training, followed by four years In one of the approved colleges. This must be fol lowed by a year's internship in a hospital approved by the American Osteopathic Hospi tal association. Specialty training requires an addition al three to five years resi dency. The specialties include surgery, obstetrics, anesthe siology, pathology, internal medicine, orthopedics, pedi atrics, radiology, psychiatry and other fields. Each special ty has a board of certification supervised by the American Osteopathic association. Oregon recognized the os teopathic profession over 50 years ago, by first licensing D.O.s in 1907. The Oregon law became a pattern for other states. The Oregon Osteopath ic association has steadily strived to lift the profession's j MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, West Nominates List Forgotten By DICK WEST .

One tradi tional "year ender" is the selection of "the 10 most im portant news stories." In most cases, the "year enders" appear in print dur ing the Interlude between Christmas and New Year's when the normal flow of news dwindles somewhat. But for me. the holiday doldrums ap pear to be setting in early this year. . So, if you don't mind, I will go ahead with my "year end er" now. Herewith, then, is a exceed 400 words. The letters standards ever higher. We ex ercise rigid control over our members, and sponsored state legislation to better the pro fession's standards. There are now approximately 140 D.O.s actively practicing In Oregon. They are represented on the State Examining Board, the State Board of Health, the Ad visory Council on Hospital Licensing, and the Advisory Council on Hospital Planning and Construction. In recent years our profes sion has seen notable expan sion and growth. More new doctors are steadily entering the state. Two hospitals have been built, in Portland and in the Medford area, while plans are in the making for other new and remodeled facilities. D.O.s serve as local health officers and work with school and civil defense programs. We are also represented with numerous local and national public health agencies, serve in Veterans Administration hospitals and are eligible for commission in the armed forces. Russell R. Sherwood, D.O. President, Oregon Osteopathic Association J. C. Long, Chairman of Directors, Portland Osteopathic Hospital Portland, Ore. Trouble for Kennedy? To the Editor: As one of the many political commentators at White City, I wish to state that I foresee trouble for our new President over the ap pointment of his brother Rob ert to the office of attorney general. Short sighted, heavy seated, narrow minded politicians with axes to grind will make much over this for the next eight years. It would not surprise me to see impeachment proceedings against President Kennedy, started by disgruntled Repub licans who tried to upset the regular election. Should a man, because his brother has been elected to the high office of President of the United States, have his life time career upset because of that fact? Even Khrushchev would say no to that. Right Nikita? It is time to rid our con gress of those old 'Fogies.' What we need and are getting is young blood, new faces, new ideas, courageous young men with ambition as well as ability. Give those old sports a pen sion of $66.15 and the priv ilege of a V.A. Domiciliary, provided they keep their mouths shut. I'd better shut mine, Merry Christmas. Malemute Slim, White City, Ore. too. Medford and Ashland To the Editor: I noted your "Good Question'1 editorial in last Thursday's Medford Mail Tribune, and I think it very appropriate. Ninety-nine per cent of the people in Ashland are proud of Medford, as well as Ash land, and have great interest in the development of the Rogue River Valley as a whole. I think the people of Ashland are appreciative of the things Medford people have done for Ashland, and we know Medford folks recip rocate that feling. I do not approve of the stirring up of antagonism be tween cities. Instead, we should have continued coop eration between the two main cities of this valley, such as we have had for many years. We can help Medford. Med ford can help Ashland.

MARCH Teddy Nadler, the biggest money winner in In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Modern fashion note: An aerospace manufacturer has gone into couturier field with the fall showing of his "moon suit." The model, con ceived and tailored by com pany space scientists, will pro tect the astronaut on the moon during his stay OUT SIDE the motor vehicle -meaning the space ship that gets him there. riiHE model suit consists of a -- two-piece cylindrical alum inum tunic and torso, with sleeves and legs attached Final materials will be chosen for physical and chemical characteristics which make them resistant to repeated ex posure to radio-activity, ultra violet and Infra-red radiation, extreme temperature varia tions and meteoric impact. The dome-shaped top sec tion is circled by a 14-inch- high window. Inside the suit is the radio communication unit, the air conditioning and oxygen supply controls, food storage bins, waste storage bins, searchlight control and electrical power supply. When he gets tired walking around with all that stuff hanging from his shoulders, the astro naut can push a button and a seat will pop out so that he can sit down and rest. Incidental information: The suit won't come equip ped with two pairs of pants. PREVIEW of the future for air travelers: Flight speeds in the next ten years for aircraft operat ing in the atmosphere are ex pected to level off at about 2500 miles per hour - four times the speed of sound. They can make 'em faster but the engineers explain that speeds beyond Mach 4 friction of the atmosphere would make 'em so hot that the weight of the cooling equip ment necessary to keep the temperature down would make 'em too heavy to carry passengers enough to make it pay. QPEAKING of speed - A Navy fighter plane built by a U.S. aerospace company can fly more than TWICE as fast as the muzzle velocity of a .22 caliber bullet. Which is to say that if the plane got started at the exact instant when the .22 rifle was fired the plane would run away from the bullet like the rab bit ran away from the tor toise in the fabled race. In the case of a race with a .30 caliber bullet fired from a standard machine gun, the situation would be slightly different. In that event, the plane would FALL BEHIND the bullet for an infinitesi mal fraction of a second after the firing of the starting gun, but in a quarter of a second it would catch up and after that there would be nothing to it. The plane would soon be so far ahead that the bul let would give up in disgust. IT sounds wonderful, but when all that comes about there will be drawbacks. At speeds like that, the air ports will have to be so far from the cities that when you include the time it will take you to get from your home to the airport where you start and from the airport at the other end of the journey to your hotel, it would have been faster to make the trip by car in the first place. If- That Is - There is any room left for highways in that day. Los Angeles is already finding that it takes so much room for freeways to get people back and forth from where they live to where they work that the city fathers are be ginning to wonder if. when the freeways are provided, there will be any room left for the people to build houses on. the happiness and well-being of the other.
