MARCH 1, 1961 The Court Two and a half years space had, among. other "The liberties of Americans are based solidly on guarantees of the rights of the individual not of state governments; not of the ledeiai gov ernment; not even of the majority or the minority but of the individual. "If that is whittled away, all else follows. "The (Supreme) Court's recent decisions have been based on the philosophy that individual rights are paramount in this free nation. "What the critics often lose sight of, in their preoccupation with the various other things they feel to be important, is that the rights of individ uals cannot successfully be divided into classes. "If they are long denied to one, then the liberties of all are threatened ; the guarantee is no longer effective for anyone." THE comment was motivated by what seemed then to be a series of forward looking, liber tarian decisions, for which the court had come under considerable criticism. The most noted one was the school desegrega tion decision, but there were many others in which the rights of the individual, as opposed to the state, were upheld. In October of that same year, 1958, however, Justice Harold Burton retired, and Justice Potter Stewart was appointed to the high court. Since that time, the trend of the Court's de cisions has generally gone the other way in favor of the power and authority of the state as against the liberty of the individual. v 1MOST of these decisions have been made by a 5-4 split, with Chief Justice Earl Warren, and Justices Hugo L. Black, William O. Douglas and William J. Brennan There have been a few unanimous decisions, notably in school segregation cases, but in most of the crucial cases involving personal liberty, the "liberal" wing of the court has been in a one vote minority, as it was in a one-vote majority prior to the latter part of 1958. This is added evidence how a President, by only one appointment out of the . thousands he makes during his term of office, can affect the entire teno- of the nation for an unspecified time to come. INURING this period, some of the most ringing declarations in support of the freedom of the individual man, as against the faceless power of the state, have been contained in dissenting opin ions, many 'of them written by Mr. Chief Justice Warren, who despite some fears when he was first appointed, has turned into one of the great libertarian jurists of modern times. They constitute a body of judicial precedent which, it may well be hoped, can furnish the basis for a new approach, a freedom, when, eventually, the court is constitut ed other than it is at present. For it is true that, while the court is sheltered from the day to day scramble of politics, it is not wholly insensitive to the larger trends and tides of social thought. Indeed, the great dissents of the past have often shown the way, to these trends and tides. ' HIEF Justice Warren's dissents have pointed ui) what many people believe to be an unduly restrictive reading of the bill of rights of the United States Constitution qualifying those great and clear guarantees of personal liberty by toruirea ana expedient In today s cold war too prevalent, some of these decisions have met with popular acclaim, and Mr. Warren has even been assailed and derided for his interpretations of the constitutional guarantees. But the world moves on. And, though Mr. Dooley's dictum that the Supreme Court follows the election results may not be literally true, it is true enough. We are concerned, of course, at decisions which we construe to be restrictive of American freedoms. But we hold confidently to the belief that, sooner or later, the court will reverse itself, as it has in the past, and once again set its course in the direction of "freedom and justice for all." E. A. ' . Flemming to U of O i Arthur S. Flemming, the former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, who later this year will become the 10th president of the Uni versity of Oregon, has had a distinguished career as an educator, administrator, government of ficial, and lay church leader. There is every reason to believe that he will justify the hopes of the State Board of Higher Education, and become one of the great univer sity presidents. He is taking over a vigorous, vital institution, during a period of great growth and change, and as such will face many challenges and many opportunities. MOW that Mr. Flemming has made his choice, ' he will be able to devote his verv considerable energies to his new job. And, since he was with Ohio Weslevan University for a 10-year period, fears that he may simply position as a "job-hopping" stepping stone ap pear unreasonable. Sucn I ears arose irom trie rather extended period of negotiation and decision. Now that lie has, we the tradition established so well by Prince Camp bell, Donald Erb, O.

The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. The Same Thing To the Editor: I have just read the Medford Mail Trib une's Feb. 22-editorIal, "Free dom and Security." I was especially : interested in the letter from Lorna Fowler, quoted in the editorial, and comment thereto. May I respectfully call the editors attention to the fact that this nation can be de stroyed by the organization of which President Kennedy is the representative? Com munism and the politico religious organization which is at the helm of the Ameri can ship of state are twin menaces to the freedoms of all men, and only the blind will not see them in their true light, Both are authoritarian; both are dictatorial. Both de mand - and get - the unswerv ing loyalty of their devotees. Where one claims political supremacy of the proletariat, the. other claims supremacy over the spiritual. Where one has a premier whose word is law, the other has a bishop whose thunders shake the world. Freedom must mean free dom of intellect as well as of body. Any person who.al lows himself to be dictated to as to what he shall eat on a certain day of the week; how many children, his wife shall bear, regardless of the state of her health or the family fi nances; what school his off spring shall attend; how much he shall .pay as tribute in addition to his free-will offering to support the insti tution, is not a free man. : Neither ' is the political slave who believes that the state is supreme, that it alone is competent to select courses of study, to set teach ers salaries, to regulate hours of labor, to control prices. Communism and the reli- gio - political organization to which Kennedy owes first al legiance are one and the same under different names. Our freedom lies In ridding our selves of both menaces. Harold Axford 6032 N. Omaha ave. Portland 17, Ore. Who's Right? And Who's To Say? To the Editor; Friday's Tri bune carried a notice by the Medford Ministerial associa tion. These well meaning gentlemen are urging us to "shop on days other than Sunday." - In the same Issue St. Luke's Methodist church stated its pastor would speak on "the Fourth Commandment." These two announcements have caused me to do a little thinking and reading. I turned to Exodus 20 and read the fourth command ment. For lack of space I'll not repeat It here but 1 found It stated that the seventh day is the Sabbath. Then in turn ing back to the Creation story I read that God rested on the Seventh day, blessed il, and sanctified it. Naturally I began to won der about some things. I look ed up at my calendar mid (mind that Saturday Is the Seventh day. True, we've had calendar changes down through the years, but as I understand, no break in the weekly cycle. Therefore the first day, called Sunday, is the same first day today as it was In Christ's time. Now I realize that there are a goodly number of per sons who claim that the sev enth day of the Creation week which God rested on and told about later in the fourth com mandment, is the day that Christians should worship on today. Then on the other hand we find in (he majority, those who feel that Sunday Is the proper rest day. Most oj the Protestant people along with the Roman Catholic Church are in this latter class. The question comes to me, who's right? Does it make any difference? Should we follow the majority? I firmly believe that we should practice what we preach. Many who keep' Sat urday, the Seventh day, break other of the Ten Command ments. Yet they teach that the law is likened to a chain of links. When one is broken, you've broken the whole chain. On the other hand I once say, not far from here, a Sunday keeping pastor emerge from a market with his Sunday purchases. Cour tesy prohibits my revealing what he carried and was do ing as he came out. Personally I am convinced that it is high time that all of us get in and survey the foundations of our own be lief. Are we taking man's word or are we taking His word as It is written? Let's study for ourselves. Henry Johnson Jr, 2315 Highway 66 . ' Ashland, Ore. Leo's Dilemma To the Editor: I have never made a speech in my life, never written any articles be fore in my life, don't own a typewriter and wouldn't know 'low to operate one if I did. I have to write everything in long hand, and can't, even do that without looking up about every fourth word in the dic tionary to see how to spell it. I have belonged to the American Legion abont 19 years. 1 have only been inside one legion hall once in my life and that was eight years ago down in California. I receive a $66.15 pension check from the government. I had never been hospitalized a day in my life up until I went to Van couver, Wash., in July of last year. Sorry that I went. I am in worse shape now than before I went. I would like to stay alive long enough to pay my obligations, so that when I get down below I can rest in peace. I don't want anybody dunning me for anything. In addition to what I have already said my challenge to Mr. J. Edgar Hoover still stands. And if my memory serves me right it has been standing now for about seven months. The challenge has never been accepted up till now, as far as I know. But I do know that for a person that is as stupid as I am to try and stand up against a man who you might say controls one of the largest organizations In the world. Now don't get me wrong and misinterpret what I am trying to say. 1 am not in favor of abolish ing the F.B.I., the Supreme Court, or any other govern ment office, ns far as that goes. I know just as well as anyone else should know we need these organizations. I also know from experience that there should be some very drastic changes made. And pronto. Now that I have stated my predicament and also have ex pressed my views in the very best way that I know how, I think it is solely up to the government to make the next move. And 1 suggest that in doing so, it might be a good idea for our government to straighten up and fly right, l.eo J. Townsend, Route 1, Box 66, Eagle Point, Ore. P.

The 1 n c I- dent, which Burmese Pre mier U Nu Nowsom now threatens to take the United Nations, occurred Feb. 15 when Bur mese fighter planes intercept ed and shot down a plane al legedly carrying Nationalist Chinese military supplies to guerrillas operating along Burma's border with Red China. U.

I don't believe that I am a bit bloodthirsty, but I do believe that my way (instant death) is the more humane way, by a long shot! Why feed that monster for 15 or 25 years and then let him out to do the same thing all over again? He'd only be 40 years old at the most. Even if he had a work assign ment, he wouldn't earn his keep. It would not cost much to rid the earth of the im becile, then we'd know that he would not do it again. While on the subject, look on Page 2 of the Mail Tri bune for Monday. Isn't that a handsome picture and a catchy headline in the center of the page? This is getting to be quite a common occur rence, except this time it was a little 4 year old child. Just think of how many years that child has to be dead! Gas or the electric chair is far too merciful. He should be used for taget practice for a bunch of recruits I once had. He'd lose his buttons, one by one. I'd 'plink' once in a while, too! As far as Leopold is con cerned, we are not sure that any transformation has, or ever will take place. He is not dead yet. Then you can be safe. Malemute Slim White Cily, Ore. Cheering Section To the Editor: There are many people in Gold Hill town, And many, or more, both up creek and down.

Ore Unfortunate Experience To the Editor: I have been quite concerned over the re cent letters and many com ments made in regard to our Welfare Department because of my unfortunate similar ex perience. About three years ago my husband suddenly died and left me with two small boys and all the current unpaid household bills. Due to the fact that there was to be a three months waiting period until the Social Security al lotment for my children would be granted, my friends advised me to apply for tem porary help from the Welfare Department. This I tried and was advised that they couldn't help me on my current bills nor could they pay ihc amount of rent 1 was paying, which was $57. I told Mr. MM Washington now is checking to see whether the findings represent a misuse of U.S. aid to Formosa, which in the last 10 years has amounted to well over a billion dollars. Demand for Action U Nu says it does and de mands that Washington take its promised "appropriate ac tion." "Without A m e r I c a," he says, the Formosa regime of Chiang Kai-shek "would be just waifs and strays." He adds: "Just one word from the United States and everything would be all right." Nationalist guerrillas in Bur A Word for the Communists: FBI Chief Isn't Quitting Job By LYLE C. WILSON Washington - (UPI) - Ameri can Communists and their as sociates in the United States will be dis pleased with this dispatch. They will be d i sappointed to read the following: J. Edgar Hoover is not about to retire from his posi- wiison Hon as direct or of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Kennedy administration has no inten tion of seeking Hoover's re tirement. On the contrary, President Kennedy stated some days prior to his inauguration that he wanted Hoover to stay on the job to which he was ap pointed in 1924 by President Coolidge. The report that Hoover was on the way out has been pop ping up recently. These pop ups are part of an old pattern. The source of these reports would not easily be discover ed. A search, more likely than not, would lead to some rep utable but gullible area which scarcely could be suspect. That is part of the pattern, too. Pattern of Rumor The newsmen who write that Hoover is on the way out surely do so in good con science; they have their infor mation from persons of cred ibility who have been sold a bill of goods. This is the pattern of the years-long effort to get Hoov er, to cripple the FBI, to sabo tage the relentlessly effective FBI campaign against Com munist subversion in the Uni ted States. This effort to get Hoover ebbs and flows like Pullman that I would be get ting a job and I could pay the difference on the rent and whatever other expenses my salary would reach out to, to which he replied, "No, it couldn't be handled that way." I am still wondering why there are such laws in this department, prohibiting us from working to do the best we can and receiving aid at the same time. I had to call on all of my creditors and explain about the predicament I was in. It was a case of having to decide whether I would take what ever job was In store for me and struggle on for existence, or accept welfare aid on their terms. When I was forced to refuse the welfare help be cause of so many complica tions, Mrs. Garretson express ed her personal feelings by stating that she was very glad I didn't because it would al ways be on my record and could be checked back on at any time. I fail to understand why this Is considered to be so shameful, when one was in need of help and only asked for it on a temporary basis. If a person isn't confused before they enter that office, they certainly arc by the time Ihey are ready to leave.

Like the President and all of the Kennedy's, the FBI boss is long on physical fitness. He and the Kennedys also have in common an understanding of the menace of Communist subversion to American insti tutions. No Friction Seen It is both interesting and baffling to note that the cur rent reports of a Hoover re tirement rest on suggestions that there is friction between the FBI director and Robert F. Kennedy, the attorney gen- Today & Tomorrow By Walter A MUDDLE OF WORDS After the message on edu cation, which is concerned with people, we had a message last week on the conserva tion and de velopment of our natural resources. 1 1 i s concerned with the lands and the for ests of Amer ica, with the minerals and Lippmann fuels beneath them, with the air and with the water, the river valleys, and the oceans. The message itself does not contain a legislative program. It is rather a kind of ordered summary and panorama of what in the years ahead needs doing about our natural en vironment. 'TWERE is almost no one, I imagine, who would care to argue that the objectives laid down are false ones, and that the actions indicated should not be taken. No ser ious person, for example, would say that there is no water problem, particularly in the West. Or say that a planned, rather than a hap hazard and helter-skelter, de velopment of the great river valleys, is a wrong thing to do. Or say that the pollution of the streams and of the air is not worth worrying about. Or that the erosion of the soil and the destruction of the forests do not concern us. And so and so on, from re search in the de-salting of the sea water to the setting aside of recreation areas. Nor will there be many to deny, I think, that the con servation of our natural re sources is a primary interest of the nation as a whole, an acknowledged national inter est since the founding of the Republic. The states have a great and essential role to play. But the leadership, the planning, and the coordina tion can come only from the Federal government. The boundaries of the states do not coincide with the boundaries of nature. This is in no sense an In novation by President Ken nedy on the new frontiers. It has been established Ameri can policy since the states on the Atlantic Ocean began to break through the old fron tiers. fFHE real problem posed by - the message is not about the national interest, or about the constitutional principle of Federal leadership. It is how such large and varied meas ures are to be financed. Over the years the conservation of our natural resources will cost a great deal of money. The President's message rc fers to this problem and says that "wise investment in a resource program today will return vast dividends tomor row, and failure to act now may be opportunities lost for ever." But since the message is a map of the country that is to be travelled over and is not an Inventory of specific meas ures to be taken, it docs not discuss the financial support of the programs which are still to come. I)Y the time these programs come into effect, the Ad ministration expects, so I un derstand, not only to hye have existed by means of raids on small Burmese villages and a flourishing opium trade. Nationalist sources prompt ly denied they were supplying arms to the guerrillas and an announcement by the Free China Relief Association said the downed aircraft was a plane it had chartered to air lift supplies to Chinese "ref. ugees." U.S. markings on the am munition cases put the United States squarely in the middle. In the present state of world tensions, the United Stales could ill afford to be associat ed with disruptive activities inside the border of any na tion, especially a friendly one. eral. The FBI, of course, is in the Department of Justice o which the President's brother is undisputed boss. No trouble there. The FBI and its boss are functioning easily in the Jus tice Department pretty mucli on the same basis of friendly informality as in other years. The future forecast is for more of the same. This get Hoover tide will ebb as have its predecessors. American Communists will continue their loud and public agitation for removal of Hoover from the FEI. They will have no impact. lippmann overcome the present reces sion. It expects also, say in about two years, to be achiev. ing a higher rate of growth -to achieve it by reducing un employment from over 6 per cent of the labor force to about 4 per cent-which would be non-inflationary "full em ployment." At this higher rate of eco nomic activity, the wealth produced this year would be some $40,000,000,000 greater than it is. The revenues from this increase at present tax rates would be an additional $10,000,000,000. This would be ample to finance strength ening of the national defense, aid to education, the resources program, and the welfara measures. We cannot, of course, ba sure that these expectations will be fulfilled. If they are not, the essential needs, de fense, education, and the like, will have to be financed by higher taxes. But with good luck, particularly in prevent ing a much greater interna tional crisis than we now have today, it is quite within the capacity of the American economy to support a rising standard of public and of private consumption. We hava the labor, the industrial skill, the management, the know how, and the research to do it. DUT along wjth all that, " there will have to go a certain re-education of Ameri can public opinion. More exactly, the re-education will mean the clearing away of tha confusion which clusters about the highly charged words "spending" and "invest ment." There is, for example, the notion that the public author ities at any government level never invest. They only spend. On the other hand, privato corporation and private indi viduals not only spend but also invest. This leads to the blind prejudice that since gov ernments can only spend, whatever money they uso tends to be wasted. On tha other hand, whenever privatu corporations or individuals in vest, that is a good thing and a public benefit. rpHIS prejudicial use of words confuses public opinion. The money spent privately to make automobiles is prudent investment. But the money spent publicly to build the roads for the auto mobiles is spending. The money to build a public hos pital is spending. But tha money to build plants to make the drugs that are dispensed is investment. If a public park is made, that is spending. If a new movie house is built, that is investment. This semantic muddle in hibits clear thinking about public questions. The truth is that there is private spending and private investment and some of it is good and some is not so good and some of it is bad. There is also public spending and public invest ment, and some of it is good and some of it is not so good and some of it is bad. It takes good judgment to spend and Invest wisely, be it publicly or privately. But tlvit kind of judgment cannot be made at all if we react, like Pavlov's dogs, to the preju diced sound of words, (c) 1961 New York Herald Tribune Inc. )
