Despite smooth words and Assurances that the proposed log truck road from Mecft'ord to Butte Falls will be satisfactory to all concerned, residents of the Eagle Point area and elsewhere along the present railroad line are still upset and worried. We don't blame them. It may be that Medco's plans, as cleared with the Public Utilities Commissioner and the State Highway Commission, will provide a quick, economical, safe, and unobnoxious way to trans port logs from Butte Falls to Medford. RUT the burden of proof is on Medco. And it u is evident that this fine firm, so important to our community, has as yet failed to make its case. The administration of the city of Medford is on record opposing a private log-truck road crossing- a major state highway near the city limits. In other areas, other groups, both gov ernmental and m'ivate. are eauallv concerned about such crossings, despite tne assurances of the highway commission that the trucks will have no more than 20 out of any 70 second period in which to cross. And the prospect of noise, dust and potential danger of 100 log truck trips daily, whether along a private road or along public highways, still is causing concern. CIMPLY as a matter of for no more substantial reasons, Medco should spell out, in writing, just to do, how it plans to do tives may be. It should list the safety measures, and nuisances and dangers, If the plans are then the people who live in written statement will serve to allay the worries, If they are not, the then have a definite basis for further discussions with Medco and the state authorities concerned, to see if acceptable alternatives can be found 1MEDCO is a good citizen of the community. A'It has been most responsive to demands for air nollution control. It sums, not only to alleviate this nuisance, but also to make substantial new investments in its plant, which is a major factor in the economy of this entire area. Its representatives executives and employees are valued members of our community. If, because of misunderstanding or lack of complete information, Medco becomes the object of public resentment and worry, the entire area will suffer. No one wants that to happen. We sincerely believe this matter can De settled to the benefit of all concerned Medco, the cities and school districts involved, the highway com mission, the public utilities commissioner, and the residents along the line if it is explained and discussed with good will and objectivity. E. A. Press Conference During the election campaign, a member of our news staff (now working for another news paper), was an ardent supporter ot Kichard Nixon and an ardent poo-poo-er of Senator Ken nedy's "New Frontiers." Yesterday we received a note from our friend. The body of the letter said simply this: "I watched the Kennedy pross conference on TV today, and I'm furious." Then, way down at the bottom, it added: "I liked it, dammit." PRESIDENT KENNEDY was crisp, incisive and responsive. . He handled the English language well, and made only a couple of minor boo-boos, neither of which were important. He evidenced an amazing grasp of the com plexities of the world, all the way from the status of disarmament negotiations to the exact posi tion of the hijacked vessel Santa Maria. He reads the newspapers (which President Eisenhower didn't do). And, if for reasons of his own, he wished not to answer a question directly, he ducked it with consumate skill, and provided enough comment on the subject of the question to let his audience know at least some of his views on the matter. UIS youth and his somewhat shaggy head of hair notwithstanding, he presented a pic ture of poised dignity, well befitting his office. But the dignity was leavened with luimor, and showed no trace of stuffiness or pomposity. And, finally, he has a sense of the dramatic. His announcement of the freeing of the RB-47 pilots was a masterpiece of understated, low-key drama, which made the sudden realization of the import of his words all the more impressive. Mr. Kennedy is bound to make mistakes be fore his term of office is concluded. But if Wednesday's remarkably sure-footed perform ance is any indication, they will be the exception to the rule. E. A. Modern Piracy Despite the possibly serious results, for some reason we find the story of the hijacked luxury liner Santa Maria a refreshing one. ; It has an aura of old-time adventure about it. It is also just a bit ludicrous to see the specta cle of a piratical crew baffling the navies of the world's greatest powers, who simply don't know what to do about it, We hope the outcome is satisfactory and that no one gets hurt. Meanwhile we're enjoying it. good neighborliness, if exactly what it proposes it, and what the alterna the route, the crossings, the plans for avoiding which it contemplates. deemed satisfactory by the areas affected, this residents affected will has stoent considerable Dennis the Menace 7 "Boy, IS THIS MV llXKYW.

"You idiot, you have thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy sold at auction re cently for over $300,000."

There wuz two one arm bandits and a cigar store Indian in that thar saloon, and they wuz loaded. The one arm bandits wuz full of quarters and the Indian wuz loaded with S, 10 and 20 dollar gold pieces. There wuzn't any banks in Placerville, so the saloon keeper used the cigar store Indian for a cash register. Nobody expected a bum like that to have any money. It wuz safe. When the flood waters re- ceeded, all the old Prospectors and Cowboys went prospect ing for whisky and they got loaded.

We hit Ihe jackpot with a sledge hammer. It worked beauti fully. All we ever found of the cigar store Indian wuz a pile of feathers. Maybe we won t have any gold buried in Ft.

If Freedom Fails To the Editor, and all resi dents of the Rogue River Val ley: After listening to Walter Huss, director of Freedom Crusade, and Mr. Paul Vor- onaeff speak at the Nazarcnc Church Tuesday evening many people were made to realize the urgency for im mediate aclion against the enemies of our freedom. Whether we like to face bare facts and naked truth or not is immaterial. The enemy (Communist conspiracy) has a definite step-by-step plan of taking our country without firing a shot. So while we sit in front of our TVs, feet propped up, and eating good ios, the enemy is stealthy, in filtrating every phase of our society. It is very shaking to turn off the TV, go out, and attend IB4c7 Wilson Advises QOP Themselves for TV; By LYLE C. WILSON Washington -UPD- The fol lowing nuggets of wisdom are especially for the information of three Re publican poli ticians - Rich ard M. Nixon, Nelson A. -Rockefe Her and Sen. Bar ry Goldwater: These three should get on the ball. . They have home work and other work to do and they had better , get about it. That is, they should do that if they are thinking about campaigning for Presi dent in 1964 against John F. Kennedy. TV columnist Lawrence Laurent (in the Washington, D. C. Post) was first with this general idea. Laurent dug out of the records the fact that Kennedy qualified as a pro fessional TV question answer er long before he and Nixon met in the mis-called debates a Freedom Crusade program and find out that while we were sitting or casually talk ing about Communism, they have been working day and night and have gained such a foot-hold at this present time, it will take a miracle to save our remaining liber ties. No longer can we be un concerned, or indifferent to ward this menace, or main tain a "It can't happen here" attitude; the truth is IT IS happening here!! The slaves in the concentra tion camps from Eastern Eu rope and Asia probably didn't think it could happen to them either, until it was too late The Freedom Crusade is sponsoring two programs this week-end to help enlighten and awaken the American public to the dangers of Communism.

Nu-clee-ar To the Editor: When are we going to get radio and TV announcers who know how to pronounce the word "nu clear" correctly? I realize that in this rapidly changing age, with new dis coveries and developments in troducing many new words to our vocabulary, it is to be ex pected that some of these new words might cause temporary difficulty. But surely by now "nuclear" is no longer a new word, and people should be able to use it correctly. Of course, as long as radio and TV announcers continue to mispronounce it, the error will be compounded. The correct pronunciation is "nu-clee-ar," not "nu-cue-lar."

Try Holy Cow, Walter To the Editor: Since Mr. Walter Reecc seems to have arrived at a wrong conclu sion, perhaps the Editor will be so kind enough to tell him from whence came the cap tion, "The Editor a Traitor," of mv former letter. Certainly it was not there when I scaled and mailed that missive. And I would be pleased to know if the shop was out of boldface type, so they could not print emphasis where I used it. We credit Mr. Rcece with not being a namc-callcr, but if so be it he feels an im pulse to do so, we respectfully suggest that he go out to the milking parlor and three times repeat "HOLY COW" in a respectful tone, and sec how comforting it is.

Kennedy's career as a TV panel pigeon began on NBC's Meet The Press when the President was in the House of Representatives. He has ap peared more often - eight times - on that program than has any other pigeon. Kennedy challenged and met Henry Cabot Lodge in a TV debate in 1952 when the former sought and won Lodge's Senate seat. He was five times on CBS, Face The Nation, twice on ABC's Col lege News Conference, one or more times on the Paar show. Laurent said there had been' a scattering of other TV ap pearances. So Kennedy was loaded with experience when he.met Nixon during the campaign on the TV screen. As President of the United States, Kennedy Burma-Red China Border Set; Long Dispute Appears Ended By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Along rugged hills, across deep gorges and through dense jungle, stone pillars are going up mark- ng the new, formal border between Bur ma and Red China. Roughly i t follows the old MeMahon line, an ill-defined boundary set up shortly aft er the turn of the century by Great Britain and China r--J9Wrwi Washington Report By WILLIAM THE RULES DECISION Washington - The south's moderate and reasonably con servative Democrats, and the moderate Re publicans a s well, must now take a great decision. It will severe ly test their fairness - and also their commonsense. Will they white support the efforts of Speaker Sam Ray burn and other spokesmen of the Kennedy administration to end the capacity of the House Rules committee to bottle up legislation? Or will they be misled by silly cries that this is some power-mad "purge" in viola tion of a "tradition" that never really existed? If so, the consequences will be grave - and most of all to the southerners and the valid traditions they properly seek to maintain. A COALITION of ullra-con-" servatives in both parties, led by Chairman Howard Smith of Virginia, presently has iron-clad control of that committee. If this ability of a handful of men to strangle legislation before it can ever reach the House floor is to be sustained these will surely be the results: 1. President Kennedy will be forced from the moderate position - which is by no means unsympathetic to the south s problems - he is try ing so hard to maintain. Stark Powers' Parents Hope for Release Pond, Va.-(UPD-The parents of spy-pilot Francis Gary Pow ers are hopeful the Russians will free their son soon. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver W Powers said Thursday they feel that the release of the two RB47 fliers from a Rus sian prison may mean their son will win freedom soon. Powers, flying the high alti tude U2 (photo- reconnais sance) plane, crashed deep in side Russia last May. He was sentenced to 10 years confinement as a spy. "We've been praying for the two (RB47) boys and our boy too," Mrs. Powers said, "and I feel like if we all keep on praying, they'll release him, too." NewlRSChief's Tax Return Checked Washington - HOT - Newly named Internal Revenue Commissioner Mortimer M. Caplin says his income tax re turn was being checked by a Treasury agent when he was notified of his government post. The man who will be the nation's top tax collector said he didn't know whether the income tax audit was a coinci dence or whether it was con nected with his new job. In tmy case, he added, " I came out clean." Hopefuls Kennedy intends to add to his TV ex perience. He began this week with a live televised news con ference. If Nixon, Rockefeller, Gold water and others do not be lieve this accumulation of ex perience will give Kennedy an advantage over any less experienced person in 1964, they probably will have to learn about it the hard way. There was some doubt after the November election that Kennedy would submit him self, as President, to TV de bate or questioning in 1964. His tirother, Bobby, thought he might not. To do so would give the opposition candidate an advantage which, in 1960, accrued to Kennedy. Debates Helped JFK Merely by entering the TV campaign competition in last year's campaign, Nixon gave through lands that until very recently time forgot Running from Tibet in the northwest through Burma in the southeast, the MeMahon line is the source of India's border dispute with Red China. It skirts Nepal and Bhutan and swings upward and then south again past the hill country of India's wild Naga tribesmen. Historic Area Here was the "hump" over which American fliers flew supplies from India to China in World War II. Here was the Burma Road over which sup plies had reached Kunming S. WHITE necessity will drive him into ever - closer association with the left-wing; for somewhere or other a president must find allies for his programs. 2. The unwise atlempts of these ultra-liberals to end un limited debate in the Senate will be enormously' aided. Only recently the Senate moderates were only narrow ly able to put aside a plan of the ultra-liberals to give a simple majority - of - one the power to halt all Senate de bate. Some liberals stood with moderates in an unspoken un derstanding that the true road block, that in the House Rules committee, would be ended. THESE non-southern liberals - cannot be expected to con tinue to stand with the moder ates to preserve the old right of free Senate debate unless this reasonable bargain to cut the Rules committee down to size is carried out. Nor can President Kennedy. The House Rules committee never has had any mandate to become a permanent bar rier to legislation. Its sole true function is to act as a traffic policeman, not perma nently to halt bills but rather to feed them in an orderly way onto the House floor. Historically it has been sim ply an arm and creature of the leadership of any current House majority. It has no "right" to be an antagonist of that leadership. Responsible Republicans, too, will not wisely follow their ultra-conservatives on the Rules com mittee - or those Republican House leaders who sec in this .an opportunity to embarrass the Kennedy administration. For one day the Republicans will again be in control of the House. When that day comes they will not want to see a Republican president and a Republican house speak er similarly embarrassed by a liny entrenclied group in some committee. UNLIMITED Senate debale the filibuster - is some thing altogether different. For the House was set up to be strictly a body of simple ma jority rule. The Senate was created deliberately to act as a check on simple majority rule by the House. Unlimited Senate debate thus exists pre cisely because the House was to be a place where a simple majority could always, and readily, have its way. There is thus no reason, in history or in constitutional ism, why the House Rules committee should not be alter ed at any time the party lead ership and any simple major ity think wise. . So it comes to this: If re sponsible southerners now rally to entrench the undue powers claimed by the com mittee they will be asking for trouble. An Inflamed non southern majority of the Sen ate will then say to them: 'Very well, you have refused us any sensible reform in the House. We have tried to stay with you in the Senate - and this, considering our problems at home, has not been easy, So we shall stand with you no ' longer; all bets arc off." (Copyright, 1961, by Uiled Feature Syndicate, Inc.) To Train Old Pro Kennedy - for free - adver- tising, identity and oppor tunity, all of which is believed to have contributed to Nixon's defeat and Kennedy's elec tion. As a President campaign ing for reelection, Kennedy would be giving his opponent similar advantages if they met before the TV cameras. These advantages would shrink toward nothing, how. ever, if Kennedy's experience enabled him to out-shine, out smart and out-maneuver his opponent. And that is the way it is likely to be unless the Republicans insist that their potential candidates make themselves expert TV pigeons. If Nixon, Rockefeller and Goldwater are serious about 1964, they would be wise to sign up for any TV pigeon trainee program that may be open. earlier in the war. Here inter mingle primitive savagery and the modern techniques of the cold war, 1961. . In 1953, Burma abruptly terminated the U. S. technical assistance program because it held the United States respon sible for failure of the Nation alist Chinese regime on For mosa to get all its forces out of Burma, 10 years after the Reds seized China. The matter went to the United Nations and eventually 2,248 Chinese Nationalists were airlifted out of Burma in U. S. planes. But others re mained to engage in arms and opium smuggling and harass both the Chinese Reds and the Burmese. Then came the Chinese bor der crisis with India and sim ilar. Chinese claims against Burmese territory. Good Diplomacy What followed is attributed to the astuteness of Burmese Gen. Ne Win and Premier U Nu. The Red Chinese were in bad odor throughout Asia for their aggression against India. They needed a gesture to re tain their position of peaceful co-existence. In October 1960, U Nu sug gested to the surprised Chi nese that the border dispute easily could be solved during his forthcoming' visit to Pei ping. The agreement was con cluded and the documents rat ified on Jan. 4. On Jan, 9, the two govern ments signed an agreement for an interest-free S85 million loan from Red China to Bur ma. China had gained face in Asia. Burma had settled, its frontier dispute. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Signs of the times: In a bill just introduced, the California legislature is asked to appropriate half a million dollars for a financial feasibil ity study of another bridge over the Golden Gate. The bill alleges that the present one is insufficient. TTMMMMMMMM. It is highly probable that by the time a second bridge can be built it too will be in sufficient to handle the traffic. The big problem these days - especially in the ncighbor- nood of the nation's huge cities - is how to find room enough for people to move around. rjOWN in the Bay Area, a 17 60-year-old grandmother is found guilty of conspiring to murder her former son-in-law. She was accused of so liciting a young man to do the job. She Is bewildered by the verdict. She says she was com peting in a short story contest and thought she could GET MATERIAL by bracing her prospect to do the murder and then listening to him talk! Unfortunately, he took it seriously. TpORMER Portugese Army Captain Henrique Galvao, who with his buddies captur ed the Portugese luxury cruise liner Santa Maria, is still playing tag with the na vies of the world. It's perhaps characteristic of his exploit (and perhaps of the times in which we live) that he can't stay away from the mlke. He keeps talking on the ship's radio. Seizure of the Santa Maria, he says this morning to all and sundry who will listen, is an act of revolt against Premier OH veira Salazar, who has ruled Portugal for 30 years. He calls the ship's seizure a "legitimate act of appropriation," and asks Britain and the United States to keep HANDS OFF. He proclaims: "Wc are not pirates. We are engaged in political war. This is OUtt business - not the business of the U.S. and Britain. We are not stealing anything or hurt- ing anybody." It's a weird world we're liv ing in, mates. O 0
