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

through two Congresses and four printed volumes
of testimony the Committee on Interior and In
sular affairs has considered such a bill. "Objec

It envisages no reorganization of present land

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. Coos

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

Disputes "Myth" Belief
To the Editor: In regard to

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

in ignorance, or is a liar and
not of God.

lo know. There are some

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.

' Just how do they expect

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

well doing. BUT . . .?

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.

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

in fiscal year 1954 under the
first Eisenhower budget. Pres

for the current, 1961, fiscal
year to spend about $80.5 bil

fully aware also of the hu

built-in and standing oppor
tunity to leap upon the slight

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

be the agent for harming his

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

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

discern, through the paper
curtain of a reticence of good

hung up there, certain inter

Even these plans are ack

proposes major national secur

So, where are the areas of
bigger spending over this

in the domestic spread of
spending largely in behalf of
our fellow Americans to

way to run a department of
