This Is What He Asked Vice President Nixon has looked at President elect Kennedy's cabinet appointments and has decided that Mr. Kennedy is robbing Republicans of some of their thunder. Republican political been geared to claims Senator Kennedy made the promise that this would be the keynote of his administration. Re publicans doubted him. But some cabinet appoint ments notably that of teary of the treasury give strong indication that the President-elect is determined that his admin istration will be fiscally responsible. una aa gumg lu inane 11 exuemeiy uuucuil, according to Mr. Nixon, to build Republican opposition to the new Democratic administration. - A LET'S review what Senator Kennedy said dur mnr fVio c n i vt v n I n-n jug biic i.aui cugii ' He charged that the abroad had dropped to a dangerous low. He charged that the Soviet Union was moving ahead at a. much faster pace than this nation had. He said that the solution to our problems , was to be found first at home. all that was necessary step up our production, with which to do the job. If our production pro duced more .dollars it would not be necessary, he said, to increase taxes. Let s look at Senator 14 years of government record of a fiscally irresponsible man. He never has been a fuzzy-thinking liberal. He is an un- emotional man who takes a cold, hard look at the facts and having determined the nature of a roblem proposes a solution for it. He will not rush unpleasant things under the rug. He de mands that they be brought out in the open and dealt with. IT IS interesting so soon after the election that many Republican editors who so severely criti cized Senator Kennedy are conceding that much that he said was true. They do after they look at the front pages of their newspapers and see trouble breaking out on a new front abroad every day. They do after they read the predictions of some men in the Eisenhower Administration that unemployment may reach 6 million this winter. It is now at the highest point since the thirties. Mr. Kennedy said throughout his campaign that this nation was in trouble. It is. He said at the same time that it was trouble we could over come if we would but put our minds and backs to the job. He asked that all of us work harder. He has faith that we can get the job done. His appointments thus far to high places in his .administration clearly show that we will have good leadership .as we undertake the job; . .. Pendleton East Oregonian. Judges Salaries Unrealistic We don't like to be demand more and more governmental expendi tures and then complain about high taxes. But there are areas where penny-pinching is not only short sighted but downright foolish. One of the most obvious examples of this policy in Oregon is the relatively paltry salaries we pay to our judges. As Woodrow Wilson the individual is concerned, a constitutional gov ernment is as good as its courts; no better, no worse. Its laws are only its professions. It keeps its promises, or does not keep them, in its courts. . . . Indeed there is a sense in which it may be said that the whole efficacy and reality of consti tutional government resides in its courts." f"UR judges, of course, sit not only on criminal cases but every day are called upon to decide matters which effect our lives just. as much as if we ourselves were called before the bench. They decide on Constitutional questions, matters where the State is the litigant, problems of liability in hundreds of different situations, commercial law cases and many others. Oregon judges every sions which may make or break you financially or may send you to jail or set you free some time. In the Circuit Courts of Oregon alone over 26,000 cases were presented last year. In actual dollars and cents, it costs almost as much to han dle the more or less routine cases which come before the State Industrial Accident Commission as it does to pay the judges who make many extremely difficult decisions on a large variety of matters which affect you personally. Oregon 'pays its Supreme Court Justices $16,000 a year: California pavs $25,000 to $30,000; Washington pays $20,000 to $25,000, as do Alaska and Hawaii. Only Idaho of the Pacific Coast states pays less than we do and they are among the five states which nay the low est salaries in the entire country. t a WE PAY $13,000 to our Circuit Court Judges. In Hsi1 ifM'niQ AI'IdLtq anrl Vluwaii f Vin nair is from $18,000 to $20,000. Washington pays $15,000. Again, Idaho ranks with the bottom states at less than $13,000. v It isn't necessary to point out further the obvious foolishness of penny-pinching in our Judi cial system, bach year it is becoming more and more difficult to find qualified men who will even consent to run for the various judgeships. Almost every attorney today is making more money than the Judge before whom he pleads his cases. The Legislature has matter and certainlv should do so at this next es8ion.

Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words .The letters printed In his column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper, in tact the contrary Is otten Worse Than Sophistry To the Editor: Sophistry be. comes no one, but to classify your editorial "Is Mankind All Alone" (12-28-60) as sophistry would be flattery. In the 4th century B.C Aristotle, and later others, ar gued the world, was not flat, though they reached their con clusion not through empirical Investigation, but through logical thinking; in effect, "the perfect form is a sphere, there fore the world must be round." The extremes of the theory of evolution today, as a cen tury ago, are rejected by all reasonable men, of which are included some theologians. Namely, animate matter could not have evolved from inani mate matter. The life principle being simple (immaterial, not composed), could not evolve. To return to your views; that science could contradict theology (where incidently we must differ with you again be cause theology Is God-centered, not world-centered), In any way is stuffingly' difficult to swallow, since from all record ed history, scientific discover ies in all their brilliance only confirm theological truths (as if it could be otherwise!). Every new scientific discovery draws back further the veil, thereby exposing a little more of the Divine Plan. And since theology is concerned with God who is eternal, could any thing be broader in scope? Many are the questions as tronomers ask themselves as they undertake their objective though fascinating investiga tion into the universe, realiz ing the possibility of contact ing other life; however, sine? other life is not yet evident, a possibility of superior life is Grants Pass Holds Holiday Meeting Grants Pass-Dr. Betty Lou Dunlop of Southern Oregon college In Ashland was the guest. speaker at a Christmas coffee given by the Grants Pass American Association of University Women at the home of Mrs. John R. Boe Thursday In Grants Pass. The main theme of her talk, addressed to college girls at tending who were special guests was the growth in ed ucation for women In the last 100 years In the United Slates. She pointed out, how, in many instances, the AAUW had been instrumental in ef fecting Improvements both in living and teaching standards for women at many of the co educational i n s 1 1 1 utions of higher learning throughout the country. Several of the annual cere monies of the organization were conducted against the background of festive holiday decorations. Mrs. Don Bcnja main, president of the local chapter, presided over light ing of candles for each new child or grandchild of a mem ber during the past year. Mrs. James Bnskcr, state treasurer of AAUW tn Oregon, present ed evergreen boughs to each new member of the past year and as each one accepted them, she gave a background of her college training. A pro gram of vocal music was pre sented prior to the business meeting, by Mrs. Boe, accom panied by Mrs. Robert Frantz on the piano. Fellowship Program ' Each year at the Christmas meeting there is an attempt to invite as many college girls in the area home for the holidays as can be contacted so that they may become fa miliar with the work of AAUW. Dr. Dunlop, herself a beneficiary of an AAUW fel lowship for advanced study, spoke highly of the fellow ship program which U an in ternational one. f the case. no more suggestive than that of a lower intelligence than ours.

She issued a cordial invitation to anyone attending a legis lative session to visit them at their Salem home. She urged people to write her husband about their feelings as voters on proposed legislative mat ters, explaining how helpful it would be to him to know how his constituents felt on pending matters.

As of now, the situation is quite un like 193 3 Lippmann when Roose velt took office. There are grave problems which need to be solved and there are agon izing issues which must be worked through. But there is no over - all national emer gency, like the closing of the banks in 1933, and, despite the Congo and Laos and the like, there is no immediate crisis of peace and war. Therefore the Kennedy ad ministration does not have to improvise and to proceed breathlessly to - do things. There is nothing in sight which calls for a period like Roosevelt's first hundred days. The Kennedy- administration can act with deliberation, and for the problems it faces, more or less long range in charac ter, it needs to deliberate carefyjly, tot plan thoroughly, and then to act decisively. . i i .; . rpHE new Administration will need time, a few months of time, even though the men al ready chosen have an extra ordinary background of ex perience in public life. The Cabinet is sometimes described as a group of pro fessors. The truth is that they are a group of public servants, men who have made public life a career. There is not one of them who' does not already know his way around Wash ington, and there are few among them who do not com bine practical experience with a theoretical discipline in the subject with which they will deal.. They are, moreover, a highly sophisticated lot. Nev ertheless, the task of policy making in this huge govern ment is unsettled and con fused, and the new men under the President's active direc tion will have to work out their ways of working to gether, i At home, to take one ex ample, the problem of the dol lar will engage not onlM) the White House and the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

"Oh no, my dear," protested her gallant partner. "Just nice and plump." C Ifft Seanstt Cert DlitrlbuUd if Klaf TmbuM Ifuilnt maka good on it. Of this fact the Kennedy strategists are aware. One Thai-a-Way For example, consider the three-month program which candidate Kennedy promised in a September campaign speech: "The next president," Ken nedy said, "must be prepared in the first three months of his office to send to Congress messages that will deal with (1) wiping out poverty, (2) the problems of full employment, (3) of a higher minimum wage, (4) of better social secu rity for our older citizens, (5) more slum clearance and (6) aid to depressed areas, (7) more help for the marginal farmer and the sharecropper, (8) a concentrated drive on il- lippmann erting its power and influence in sucn matters. 'TWERE are two reasons why in the next few months, during the shake-down cruise so to speak, the new Adminis tration must not be hurried Into making major decisions in foreign affairs. The first is that there are several agencies concerned in advising, the President, the State Department, the Penta gon, the Atomic Energy Com mission, the Treasury, and the Budget Bureau. They will have to learn afresh what it is like to work with a Presi dent wjio administers the gov ernment. ' They have become used to a staff system under which, like feudal lords, they make treaties with one anoth er. This diffuses and dilutes decision. For decision is im possible unless the ultimate decider listens to and partici pates in the critical debates. A second reason for not hur rying into the biggest decisions is that they will surely be bad decisions if they have to be taken too soon. There are a number of important foreign policies which come down to us from an era that is passing, that of the post-war world. They will have to be reviewed and reconsidered and this will have to be candidly explained. It will take time. But if the new Administra tion is forced by events to make decisions on Jan. 21 or even on Feb. 21, it will un avoidably fall back upon the old formulae. For these, how ever badly they worked are venerable 'and undisputed. Even if the President and his advisors have reviewed the old policies themselves, they will scarcely have had time to explain their decisions to Con gress, to the press, and to the people. . OUR allies, let us hope, will understand that under the American political system a change of Administration is not the same thing as a change of government in a parliamen tary state. It is a much bigger and more radical operation For while we have a civil service which keeps the gov ernment machinery running no matter who is in the White House, the makers of policy extend down at least three or four levels deep into the Ad ministration. This may be a good system or a bad one, but it is the system we have, and the un avoidable delay in coming to grips' with the government is sues is involved in it. It follows, and this applies most particularly to Mr. Khrushchev, that the way to deal with the Kennedy admin istration will be to recognize the necessity of not hurrying it into action.

(9) improved distri bution of surplus food, and (10) a better economic break for all Americans regardless of their economic status. The President-e 1 e c t, of course, could send all of those measures to Congress in the first three months of his of fice. He is too much of a poli tician, however, to do so with any expectation of quick ac tion on even half of them. The quickie Kennedy pro gram, in fact, has been solved. Program Realities Shortly before Christmas, Vice President-elect Lyndon B. Johnson, speaker Sam Bay burn and others met with Kennedy at Palm Beach. Their program for early legis lative action was as follows: (1) Aid to depressed areas, (2) increased minimum wage, (3) federal aid for school con struction, (4) public housing and (S) medical care for the aged. None of these approaches a new frontier. Four of the projects to which Kennedy has given legislative priority are holdovers from the last session of Congress. The fifth, Washington Report By WILLIAM IN SEARCH OF A TRUMPET Washington-Of all the men everywhere who wonder what the New Year will bring, few are in greater doubt as to what immedi ate course to take than Rich ard M. Nixon. .The retiring R e p.u b lican vice-president, so narr o w 1 y defeated for the presidency itself only last month, is receiving shoals of advice. An endless line of sug-gestions-from his staff, from fellow Republicans in and out of Congress, from the public -flows across the capitol desk he is about to vacate after eight years. On Jan. 9 Nixon will reach the not too-advanced age of 48. And this milestone in his life is curiously paralleled by Greyhound Bus Theft Investigated Oak Harbor-(UPH-The Island county sheriff's . ffice and the Bellinghairk Police Depart ment today were investigating the theft and abandonment of a Greyhound bus valued at $40,000. Greyhound Lines reported the bus stolen, saying it had been taken from Bellingham sometime Friday night. The bus was found abandoned near here Saturday. Bellingham police theorized the bus was driven from Bel lingham to this Whidby Island community via the De ception Pass Bridge. A Greyhound spokesman said the bus was probably taken by someone familiar with its special ignition sys tem. Portland Church Damaged by Fire Portland - 0IPD - Damage has been estimated at $50,000 from a fire at the Grace Me morial Church Sunday after noon. The Portland fire depart ment said the fire apparently was started by an overheated electric coffee maker. Main damage to the building was in the auditorium of the church. No one was injured. - Approximately 23 .ircmen fought the blaze, which bi j'.;e out about 4 p.m. The fire vs brought under control in about 20 minutes. Oakridge Man Escapes Crash Oakridge - (UPI) - Godfrey Crane, 54, Oakridge, escaped death Saturday when a South ern Pacific passenger train smashed into his car at an Oakridge intersection. Crane was thrown from the vehicle, which was carried two blocks down the tracks. He was reported in fair con dition at a local hospital. The accident occurred as the passenger train "Kla math" was approaching the local depot. The sheriff's of fice said Crane apparently failed to see the train. SEEKS CONGO PEACE New York-am-The United Nations Conciliation Commis sion, under the leadership of Jaja Wachuku of Nigeria, headed to Lcopoldville today to assemble In an attempt to Iron out the dispute between factions in the Congo. Receding public housing, has long legis lative history. Soma Must Wait When Kennedy made his September campaign prom ises he was thinking of aid to education in terms of federal funds for teachers' salaries as well as school construction. Speaker Rayburn told him and told newsmen that feder al funds for teachers' salaries would have to wait. All of the minority voting blocs which made Kennedy's election possible have special objectives of their own, all promised in the Democratic platform and equally pledged by the candidates who cam paigned on the platform. Ne groes, most anxiously, de mand that the Democrats make good on the campaign promises to break the South ern hold on House and Sen ate by amending the rules of both. Organized labor also has its pet projects, such as easing restrictions on picketing, Tha bills dearest to these minority blocs do not show on the Ken nedy priority list. Some poli tical fireworks may be set off by that fact. S. WHITE an opportunity to take any one of a large number of forks in the road in his career. Amid all the uncertainties which surround him, there aro only two certainties. He will not for a moment forfeit, in any way, the titular leader ship of the Republican party which he earned by carrying! the G.O.P. fight in the recent campaign. And he has no in tention of allowing the party to be captured in Congress the only place where it now has any national forum-either by the left wing led by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York or the right wing led by Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. A ND there Is, also, one next-to-certainty. This is that Nixon will actively seek the Republican presidential nomi nation again in 1964. Mr. Nix on himself does not put his ambition this strongly, nor do his closest associates. All the same, all his plannlng-neces-sarily fluid in detail as it is for the time being-has one pconstant, basic factor: He in tends so to conduct his life as to remain readily available for '64. Thus the probabilities are that he will not aciyept any corporation job; will not run for governor of California, will not take a college presi dency. He is mest likely to return to California to a large, lucrative and undemanding law practice-undemanding in that he can pick his cases and make his time his own. tTiHIS, however, would be at -- best an imperfect solution, and Nixon knows it well. For he needs some sort of nation al rostrum from which to keep his name and views con sistently before the national public. The California gover norship would serve fairly well for this, as a law firm would not. But the trouble with the governorship would be that Nixon would instantly become involved in all sorts of local and regional issues blurring and perhaps even distorting the picture of national leader ship he must continue some how to offer. So the strong odds are that in thejgnd Nixon will decide that the least unsatisfactory of all the routes open to him will be to return to the law but to keep his engagement book wide open to lecturing and perhaps writing at places and in publications guaran teeing him some national au dience, i His problem is deeply sig nificant not because it is Ttichard Nixon's problem and not even solely because it in volves a man for whom so many voted so recently for. president. rpHE central problem Is In) this new illustration of the human wastefulness of our po-: litical sy's'tem. After inaugura tion day, Jan. 20, we shall, have three living and unem-; ployed ex-presidents as well, as a newly retired vice-presK dent entitled to speak for very' nearly half the country but' lacking much of a place fronv which to speak. J ; The two rivals of Nixon for the headship of the Republic can party, Governor Rockefel-. ler and Senator Goldwater,; will, moreover, have mega-, phones not available to Nixon himself. Rockefeller can speak pretty loudly from the gover nor's office in Albany; Gold-; water has the great platform of the Scnate-which is famous '. for its publicity value Nixon, therefore, simply' must make do with what! trumpets can be found.
