MARCH 6. 1961 Preserving the Wilderness Each year more people, more houses and more industry encroach on the remaining open land in the United States. Only diligent conservation will preserve for future generations the wilderness areas which were the mark of frontier America and which are an important part of the Nation's patrimony. Once again Congress has a chance, at very little cost to the taxpayer, to secure this heritage of forest, river and wildlife by a speedy enact ment of the national wilderness protection bill now reintroduced by Senator Anderson. A S MR. Anderson noted in presenting the meas- ure, it has been five erness bill was introduced by benator Humphrey; through two Congresses and four printed volumes of testimony the Committee on Interior and In sular affairs has considered such a bill. "Objec tions, eliminations . . . and the inclusion of vari ous snecial provisions." sponsible opposition to une measure is not a sweeping cnange. It envisages no reorganization of present land agencies: no new bureaus would oe created, it merely sets aside certain snoiled bv man made There are ample safeguards for cattle grazing and industrial interests and provision for periodic review of the wilderness tracts. INDEED, all the lands that could be dedicated to wilderness use and protection are already within established national forests, parks or ref uges. They make up only 5 per cent of the Fed eral lands. This bill is, in reality, only the beginning of what is needed for the future, but it is the neces sary first step. Unless lawmakers act soon much of the op portunity for preservation of these natural havens and retreats will be forever lost. Washington (D.C.) Post. Committee's Foolishness Strange have been the ways of the State Sen s's State and Federal Affairs Committee in this session. Not the least strange was the man ner in which that committee Wednesday voted out to the floor of the Senate a bill which would move headquarters of the State System of Higher Education from Eugene to Salem. It was not only strange. It was a violation of political integrity on the part of State and Fed eral Affairs Committe members all of whom were handpicked by Senator President Harry Boivin, Rt-Klamath Falls, to do his bidding. There had been no hearing on the bill. There had been no testimony on it, pro or con. Weeks earlier, the committee had voted to table it. CVERYONE justifiably thought it -had been killed for this session. Even its chief sponsor, Senator William Grenfell, D-Portland, had stop ped advocating it. Then, lo and behold, of the Senate Wednesday. Why? It is reported that one a newspaperman : "Oh, out in order to hear btraub (btate ben. Kobert Straub, D-Eugene) scream 1" Is this the way the State Senate's "President's Committee" does its work? Is the bitterness of Senate President Boivin and his political mentor, State Sen. Walter Pearson, Rt-Porlland, against Oregon s Democratic Party so great they will "kick out" a foolish bill aimed at damaging Party Chairman Straub's btraub scream I I UCKILY in this case, the bill's sponsor, Sen-- ator Grenfell, had too much intgrity to try to take advantage of the situation. He , moved to send the bill to the Education Committee where "it can get a fair and open hearing" before it is considered by the Senate. , This sort of petty warped foolishiness costs the state of Oregon money and honor as well.

Mexican Laborers To the Editor: Evidently the article written by Robert K. Norris in Tuesday's paper was inspired by my letter on the employment of Mexican na tional labor in this valley, and also in the Imperial valley of southern California. First of all, I want to take exception to his reference to "share croppers, too shiftless to farm their own properties." I have known share croppers all my life and defy anyone to call any of the ones I have known - "shiftless." It cer tainly lakes something more than shiftlessness to make a living for oneself and one's family from a share of the income derived from just a share of the crop that one gels from the entire crop he raises. The reason these share croppers do not "farm their own properties" is that they have never been able to save up enough from their share cropping to buy property of their own. Next, there were 100,000 imported Mexican nationals working in the Imperial val ley of California taking jobs away from 300,000 American farm laborers. As for the Mexican national labor employed here in this valley, I do know that no unemployed white laboring man could get a job at any of the orchards that were em ploying Mexican national la bor - either in '59 or '80 even though they were agricultur ally trained. I also know how these Mex ican laborers were housed and how they were fed, and I don't believe Mr. Norris would like to live like that nor have any of his family live like that. We take pride in our American way of life and we certainly don't want it low ered to the Mexican laborers' standard. I also have known many families here in the Rogue val ley who made their living by following the crops and they were GOOD agricultural workers, too, who tried their best lo make enough money during the crop season to car ry them through the winter months. Also, I remember working on charity lists al holiday time In L.A., and more than throe-fourths of the names on t h e lists were Mexican, 1 also worked on welfare lists during the rest of the year, and they were all Mexican. I've known three generations of Mexicans who were all born, raised and buried on the "welfare" of L.A. county. I have known that Imperial valley problem since 1922, which, 1 wouldn't be surprised is longer than Mr. Norris can remember. I have also known this Rogue valley pear situa tion since 44. I'd like to ask Mr. Norris why one always sees the Mex ican wrapped in his scrape and with his sombrero pulled down over his eyes, taking his siesta in the middle of the afternoon, If he is such an ambitious, hard working fel low? Mildred Engman 1107 East Main st. Medford. Disputes "Myth" Belief To the Editor: In regard to Mr. Pike's views, in that he says that much of the Bible is myth. This view is shared by too many In al churches, and those in authority. With such teachers as these the Lord needs no enemies, for it Is written of those who deny the power of God, from such come away. For any man to say that any portion of the Bible Is myth, he cither talks in ignorance, or is a liar and not of God. All who truly seek God shall know all that they need lo know. There are some things that are not under MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. k-V; Hi mak this much SO TO THE MO0V standable because the time is not yet for them to be reveal ed, and only the vain dabble in these things, which helps to further the cause of Satan. The Lord said, my sheep know my voice. Those who seek him, read his words, and un derstand, because they have known him of old. These are they who live in hope of the Lord's mercies and forgive ness, and seek a crown of rightousness. But there are those who seek after their own lust and desires, who would deceive you and bring you into their judgment, seeking to justify theirselves through your sins. Seek out the book of the Lord and learn of him, and strengthen your faith. Though they say that much of the Bible is myth now, it is noth ing to what they will say against the Bible, God, and all who believe, in the not too distant future. But this sayeth the Lord, that it will be better for those who be lieve in me before I come, than for them who will not believe till I come. And this sayeth the Lord to them that believe in him, that eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, of the wonderful things I have for my people. T. M. Sletten Route 1, Box 224 Rogue River, Ore. Daffodil Time To the Editor: We are glad to note that our city leaders' call, "Let's gel this place to moving," has added one more response. We offer a flower if not an entire bouquet: O A BLOSSOM TO: "Sardine Creek Cheering Section" You multiply spring thrill By springing into action With our first daffodil!

Grow Upll To the Editor: In regard to the writer, Harold Axford, Portland, who is still mouth ing the repudiated arguments used in the past presidential election: Man! Why don't you grow up? President Kennedy Is exer cising the utmost care to re move your doubts, but you won't give him a chance. By far the majority of his ap pointees, to date, are now Catholics. His grasp of the weighty problems that con front all of us has won uni versal praise. Bear in mind, too, that Catholics are in the minority In our country. One question: Would you condemn the head of the Church of England for calling on the Pope? David Frlsch, P. O. Box 292, White City, Ore.

WILSON United Press International Washington - HOT - Tax Foundation, Inc., has publish ed, in a bright red paper cov er, a book on g o v er nment finance that a child with eighth grade skill in arith metic should be able to un derstand. The child could under stand most of it, anyway. This book is rec ommended reading, however, for the child's father and any other taxpayer. Several tab ulations in the Tax Founda tions' publication should be read with special attention to a socko line from President Kennedy's inaugural address. The line was this: "Fellow Americans, ask not what your country will do for you - ask what you can do for your country." ; It has been a long time 'Bye Bye Stamps' To the Editor: What's this I hear, are they going to take our saving stamps away if the housewife doesn t protest? Well, I'm protesting. They can't do that to us, or can they? ' Just how do they expect us poor little ole' housewives to be able to get through the drudge of house work if, after the long, long day, we weren't able to sit down and lick a stamp or two, and fiendishly count up our books, so we can get something real pretty, that we'd never think of buy ing with cash. Couldn't afford it otherwise. They say we are the ones that pay for the stamps but I don't see it that way, as the stores that give stamps, and the ones that don't seem to have the same prices, and I always feel cheated if I don't get any. Just what will we do, dear ladies if they take this one little ray of light from our dreary day, and what are we going to do about it? I kinda got attached to the little green, pink and gold ones. Mrs. Irma Henderson 729 Dakota ave. Medford. One Listener To the Editor:. Dear (Name on File) Visitor to Medford: Thank you for your ac knowledgment of Miss Jani tor and myself on K-BOY. At last I have documented proof that I have one listener. A pity you have to leave so soon, darn it! Phil Holman and Miss J. K-BOY Box 1109 Medford. How To Reconcile? To the Editor: Every day on TV, radio and in the news paper we read of unemploy ment and distress areas in need of food, because even unemployment insurance has run out. In a recent issue of this paper we also read of a labor union official retiring on a pension of S50.000 per year, regardless if he is in prison or out - and that, among other things, he owns a parking lot that he pays a man $100 per week to tend. According to my figures $50,000 per year for 365 days makes a sum of S136.98 plus per day. Can you reconcile this? It has bothered me since I read it. I am all for reward ing outstanding, upright pub lic servants with a record of well doing. BUT . . .? Ema Frci Route 1, Box 264 Eagle Point, Ore. Shrewd Scheme To the Ecltor: President Kennedy is presently backing a "peace corps" of young Americans to go abroad and work with the citizens of the underdeveloped countries. On the face of it, this plan seems attractive because it appeals to the idealism of youth. However, a look into the motivations of the sponsors indicates that they probably are not concerned with ex tending this aid unselfishly. The sponsors expect some thing in return. First, the plan, if successful, would enable U. S. political representatives to lure un committed countries into the imperialist fold of the West thus opening the way for lu crative trade deals. Second, it is likely that such a plan would attract the most idealistic among youth. Those, for instance, who might be attracted to Socialism. B u t they would spend their time in far countries on projects seemingly humane and pro gressive and be removed from the crucial area of social con flict in America. esasae-sefsesw eaks for Increased Governmental Over Years Seen as Effective since Americans thought of government in terms suggest ed by the new President. Per haps they never did think in those terms. The pressure on government is now, and long has been, to do something for our fellow Americans. Some Sample Budgets This pressure is effective. It has boosted government spending by many billions of dollars. For example, govern ment spent about $68 billions in fiscal year 1954 under the first Eisenhower budget. Pres ident Eisenhower budgeted for the current, 1961, fiscal year to spend about $80.5 bil lions. You may believe that this big hike in government spend ing over a seven-year period should be charged to the cold war and other international deliriums. Not so.

Robert Kcn- endy wholly whlta a p p r e ciaies the helpfulness of being Brother Bob to President John F. Kennedy. But he is fully aware also of the hu man difficulties of the rela tionship. His critics have a built-in and standing oppor tunity to leap upon the slight est instance of any seeming aggressiveness and to cry out: "Bobby is throwing his weight around. He is trying to give them no smallest chance. Not unnaturally, he likes his brother and doesn't want to be the agent for harming his administration. Indeed, in these early days he is running the department of justice with almost ascetic reserve, saying nothing, stay ing out of politics and tend ing strictly to business. His press officers, for the moment, are like farmers paid not to plant corn. They are far more inclined to play everything down than to play anything up. Headlines they flee from, rather than pursue. TE V E R ETHELESS, the l' wheels are turning in 'jus tice." And it is possible to discern, through the paper curtain of a reticence of good taste which the young at torney general has stocially hung up there, certain inter esting plans. Even these plans are ack nowledged only in low key, and when one is told 'Of them he is also warned that no body is making any great claims for them. The attorney general's experience in a hard school, that of a congressional counsel, has taught him that it is incomparably better to perform than to promise and fatal to promise an ounce more than can be later per formed. With these qualifications in mind, this is the present posi tion in the principal problems which will challenge Attorney General Kennedy: CRIME He sees this, par ticularly interstate gamb ling, as dangerously on the rise. A cool counterattack (large, hot, purple words like "crusade" are not welcome around the justice depart ment) has been carefully prepared. All major fede ral investigative agencies are being drawn together into a collective antl-crlme assault The Socialist Labor party, through its official newspaper. The Weekly People, has taken the lead in exposing this shrewd and cunning scheme to exploit youth's ideal for materialistic ends. Henry R. Korman 2640 Garfield st. Longview, Wash. 1 billion. The current budget proposes major national secur ity spending just short of $46 billions, about $1 billion down from 1954. So, where are the areas of bigger spending over this seven-year period? They are in the domestic spread of spending largely in behalf of our fellow Americans to whom Kennedy appealed on inauguration day. Internation al affairs and finance spend ing, which is not directly in behalf of Americans, did in crease from 1954 to 1961 from $1.7 to $2.1 billion. Mre and More Spent Veterans services and bene fits, however, increased dur ing that period from $4.2 to $5.3 billion; labor and wel fare from $2.4 to $4.4 billion; agriculture and its resources from $2.5 to $5.4 billion; nat ural resources from $1.3 to have forecast that sooner or later the "ultras" of Algeria would react violently. So far, demonstrations have been minor, but 17 men have been arrested in Algeria on charges of Algerian under ground activities. Strength of the underground is not known, but marshalling their strength will be such men as Joseph Ortiz, sentenced to death in absentia for his part in last year's "battle of the barricades" in Algiers. As Dr. Gaulle and the Algerian Mos lem rebels come closer to agreement, the chances of settler violence increase pro portionately. S. WHITE force. An all-federal crime in telligence system is being pre pared. Efforts are being made, too, for closer relationships with state and local prosecu tors. Anti-trust Staffs are being enlarged. The attorney gen eral has no hostility either to business itself or to bigness in business. He will be skeptical ly concerned, however, where ever bigness is attained simp ly by the swallowing of the big by the much bigger. Labor baronism This may be considered specifically in the case of James Hoffa of the teamsters union to be nothing less than a clear and imminent danger to public order. If things go on as they are, Hoffa may be literally in a position to paralyze the transportation of this nation by 1963. There is no notion that long attacks have cut him down. Instead there is a gloomy belief that he is stronger than ever. More leg islation in this area may be expected. rIVIL rights On this sensi tive issue the justice de partment will make haste slowly but surely, centering on protection of the right to vote. The authority of the southern states will never be lightly by-passed. The attor ney general, in fact, has made a policy decision that no fed eral suit will be brought until the leaders of the state in volved have been told of the situation and given full op portunity to take corrective action on their own. He will surely have lo take some heat here, from hot-eyed reformers who would like to cast all southern election of ficials into jail by midnight. But. in the opinion of this correspondent, he is ready to take it, in the conviction that a contemptuous prejudging of all southern motives is a poor way to run a department of justice, let alone a railroad.

Softer Line In Frankfurt it is being predicted the Communist East Germans will ease still further their restrictions on West Ber lin traffic to avoid the risk of another cancellation of West-East German trade agreements.

They have been told to try to infiltrate youth organizations and labor un ions. Red China Move In New Delhi, diplomats are speculating that Red China may side with Pakistan against India in their dispute over possession of Kashmir. It would be one more move by China to isolate India from her neighbors. It probably would please Pakistan but ir ritate both India and the So viet Union. After Pakistan joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Orga nization and the old Baghdad Pact, Russia supported India in the dispute.
