Compassion and Waste
Compassion is a noble emotion. "
Sometimes, however, compassion can cloud
good clear judgment.
The Edmond, Oklahoma, Sun recently had an
editorial (reprinted in the Roseburg News
Review) which bewailed this situation.
Too long, it declared, the concern and sym
pathy of society has been devoted exclusively
to "the selfish, the lazy, the crafty and the con
fused," and not enough attention has been given
to "the industrious, the able, the honest and the
morally strong."
'JprlE Sun has a point. It added:
"What would happen if we stopped psychoanalyzing
the chicken-chested punk who knows only to sneer, and
paid some genuine attention to the squares who have
never stabbed a teacher or mugged an elderly woman?
"Think of the millions of dollars we've spent trying
to find out what makes the delinquent. Think of the
time our sociologists have spent trying to analyze the
alcoholic, belay the broken home, and comprehend
the criminal ...
"We've taken the good guy for granted so long in
this country that we apparently know nothing what
ever about him. Is he religious? Somctimes-but quite
often not. Was he properly whaled by his parents
when he was a kid? Again sometimes-but quite often
not. Was he a sheer joy to his teachers? Not always
often he was the lad who turned their hair prema
turely gray. But do we know about the bad guy? You
bet we do. We know he is misunderstood, misguided,
misdirected and miscrable-a victim of his environ
ment. We know we must pity him and pamper him
and pay for his rehabilitation.
"We must at all costs ... be nice to him. I say nuts
to him and to our national fetish of the overwrought
and discontentcd-the neurotic personality . . , the up
set psyche , . . and the complex complex . . "
flITH much of this we agree.
But a little thought will reveal why so
ciety has focused so much attention on the sub
standard human, rather than the average or
superior one. It is for two basic reasons:
1. The average or superior person, by and
large, gets along without too much help.
2. We cannot indefinitely afford the costly
waste or numan talent and potential represented
by the sub-standard, the criminally inclined, or
the radically maladjusted.
We do need to find
talents. But, too, and compassion entirely aside,
we must continue the "salvage job" of helping
the others to become productive members of
society, rather than a drag and expense on every
one else. Wfj can t attord not to. KA.
Opposition Mounting
Reaction to Gov. Mark Hatfield's sweeping
governmental reorganization plan is beginning to
be heard.
; Frequently, it goes something like this:
"Oh, I'm in general agreement with the over
all objectives, BUT . . ."
And then the speaker goes on to disapprove
one or more of the specific suggested changes.
This is the type of reaction which can be
expected, in a score or more different fields.
And the cumulative' effect will amount to mas
sive and widespread opposition to the radical
changes proposed.
EXAMPLES can be cited :
" Just the other day, the travel advisory com
mittee, made up of a number of Oregon news
papermen who are consulted on plans of the
travel information division of the highway de-
lartment, issued a statement objecting to the
inclusion of this department in a proposed new
department of commerce.
And the parks advisory committee of the
department is objecting to the proposal that it
be included in a department of natural resources,
due in large part to its intimate relationship, his
toric, financial and otherwise, with the highway
department. '
Governor Hatfield's own appointee as secre
tary of state, Howell Appling Jr., has indicated
he does not agree fully with the Governor on the
latter's proposal's for institutions, and the future
of the office of secretary of state.
"Opposition has developed to the proposed merg--Mng
of the fish and game commissions again
into a department of natural resources.
And so it goes.
Undoubtedly other objections will be heard,
as the scope of the reorganization proposals sinks
in. And, also, undoubtedly there are many state
employees at top administrative levels who have
strong objections but hesitate to voice them be
cause of the Governor's stand. But their opposi
tion will be potent when it conies to making
changes.
f E REPEAT that there should be no theoreti-
cal objection to consideration of proposed
changes on an individual basis.
Many of the proposals would, indeed, make
for increased efficiency and administrative com
mon sense.
But two considerations deserve mention.
One is that it must be recognized that major
reorganization of the state involves a complete
rejection and repudiation of Oregon's long history
of citizen participation in government through its
highly successful, clean and admirably adminis
tered boards and commissions.
Another is that piecemeal consideration of the
proposed changes could well keep the legislature
in session month after month after month as dif
fering views are threshed out.
Meanwhile, there's no need for undue hurry,
even though Governor Hatfield, an ambitious
man who likes the feel pf political power, would
like to see the changes made while he is still

laughter and four letter word

heard by the ad-makers than
by me, field editor of the old

Why? The ad pictured a hi-

relaxed arm-free in his life

the whip-lash as the still big
top kicks off on its some 100

But the insult that so riled
the loggers was the limbing.
Instead of being axed off flush
to the bark, stubs 8 to 12
inches long were left on. Just
how, we inquired, would the
hi-climber flip his life-line up

Method To Speed
Tax Refund Told

commission said Thursday
that taxpayers getting a re
fund on their stale income ti.x
this year can speed up the
process by writing the word
"refund" in the lower left
corner on the outside of tlv
envelope.
The speedup Is possible, the
commission said, because re
fund requests have priority
during the filing season from
Jan. 3 through April 15. Re
turns marked "refund" will
be quickly sorted from the
huge volume of mail and
processed faster.
In the past year some 600

Editorial Comment
Rogue and Red Herrings
As the world's population and its industrial needs sky
rocket, can we continue to afford sylvian pleasures?
This question arises naturally from the proposal of a
Grants Pass group that a high very high dam be built
on the Rogue, below the confluence of the Illinois, which
would back water approximately 135 miles, wiping out the
storied stream and its storied
We tend to agree with Stats Rep. Clarence Barton, who
feels the proposal is a red herring aimed at furthering bien
nial efforts in the Legislature to get permission to take water
from the Rogue at Grants Pass for industrial purposes. In
either case, the Rogue would be ruined so we are talking
about the same thing.
This newspaper is, quite naturally, opposed to cither dam,
red herring or not, or tin. withdrawal of Rogue water for
industrial purposes. Yet the ultimate question remains of
whether the Rogue can be forever protected as a wild area as
the need for Oregon industrial

At any rate Rogueians will continue to try protecting it.
They are beginning with attacks on the sanity of the Jose
phine Countians who would build the dam.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
This modern world:
Over in Placer county, in
the rather wide-open spaces,
a hitchhiker solicits a ride
from a passing motorist.
The motorist and his wife, as
do so many of us in these
days, look straight ahead and
drive on.
Whereupon
The hitchhiker, who was
carrying a rifle, leveled his
weapon at the receding car
and fired. The bullet struck
the driver in the back of the
head, - killing . him instantly.
He toppled over against his
wife, covering her with blood
from his fatal wound.
She managed to stop the
careening car, got out of it
and ran screaming down the
road, away from the killer.
fiHE hitchhiker then reload-
cd his rifle and stood wait
ing for the next passing motor
ist. At that moment, a highway
patrolman came along. He
braked his car to a skidding
stop, leaped out of it, his re
volver in his hand, tackled
the killer, disarmed him and
took him off to jail where a
check of his record revealed
that he had been twice under
observation for mental ill
ness.
rjiRAGEDY?
It is double tragedy.
There was a time in our
friendly Western country
when no motorist would have
thought of passing up a pedes

road. Why did this Placer

Cuban Republic.
Castro Posed as Anti-Red
Castro came to power in the
disguise of a democratic op
ponent of dictatorship, torn-
munism and the oppression
which accompany both. Castro
ballyhooed himself as a non
Communist and enjoyed pow
erful echoes of his ballyhoo
in the United States. Batista
fled Cuba on Jan. 1, 1959. The
United States recognized Cas
tro's revolutionary govern
ment six davs later.
Recognition was the deci
sion of President Eisenhower
and Secretary of S'ate John
Foster Dulles. It is possible
but not likely that Eisenhow
er and Dulles would so quick
ly have recognized Castro if
they had been properly in
formed of the background of
The Beard.
Incredible as it may seem
to the taxpayers who pay for
the mistakes of their govern
ment employees, it is reason
able to believe that neither
the President nor the secre
tary of state had the facts in
the case.
The alternative to that in
credible situation would be
even more incredible. It
would be that the U.S. intelli
gence agencies were unaware
of Castro s background ana
therefore, were not compe
tent to warn Eisenhower and
Dulles against him.
Questions Raised
These alternatives raise
some questions:
-Were the intelligence agen
cies unaware and, if not,
-Did Eisenhower and Dulles
have full access to all intelli
gence information?
-Did the Central Intelli
gence Agency andor the FBI
submit reports in volume to
the appropriate executive de
