If liberty survives in this climate it will be'bocause the daily press perceives the nature of this crisis and' struggles to imbue its leaders with a sense of this challenge." J. R.

Dennis the Menace When yon -nrav 'm outvie window yco , eont HAveio paw mm you m someooyi ' Matter of Fact THE CRUNCH - Washington - The Kennedy Administration's first real crunch - its first rough deci sion between raising the stakes and slaying in game or throwing in its hand and get ting out -may well come soon in re mote and dis ordered little Aisop Laos. This ugly possibility now stares the American policy makers in the face, because of the nature and obvious pur pose of the Soviet movement of military supplies into the dissident provinces of Laos. The supply movement, by truck out of Communist North Viet-Nam and by air lift from Communist China, is massive by Laotian stand ards. All necessary arms for fighting full-dress manned battles, including fairly heavy artillery, have been brought in and are still being brought In. The nature of the arms be ing imported in turn reveals the supply movement's pur pose. Tha purposa is to con vert the Communist Pathet Lao forces from light guerilla units into conventionally equipped infantry, capable of taking on the Royal Lao army in major engagements. a fTHIS is an old stunt of the -- Southeast Asian Commu nist jungle fighter. A sudden, unexpected guerilla into - in fantry conversion produced the first major French disas ter in the Indo-Chinese war, the so-called "night of Cao bang." The French defenders of the Cnobang fortress were utterly unprepared for the former guerillas' attack with heavy weapons. On a much larger scale, the same conversion also produc ed the same wars' final dis aster, at Dienbienphu. There is almost no disagreement among the Kennedy policy makers about the need to be ready for the gucrllla-lnto- infanlry conversion in Laos But there is a wide divergence of views about the timing and the probable results. The more optimistic school holds that the new Laotian Communist army - for this is what It will be -.cannot be ready to strike a major air blow before the rains come later this spring. If a cam- paign in the rainy season is also ruled out, which is again optimistic, the time of real danger will come a the end of this summer. The optimists believe, further, that the dan ger can then be contained if the time available Is used to straighten and sharpen the Royal Lao army and the local anti-Communist guerillas 1M1E pessimists foresee quite different time sched ule. It Is entirely possible that most of the Pathet Lao forces have already been quietly re trained as organized infantry across the border in North Viet-Nam, Just as the attack ers on the "night of Caobang" had been quietly re-trainod across the border In Commu nist China. If this Is the case, a serious (.omniums, often she. aimed to win a clean cut military victory in Laos, can quite easily be launched in the next 30 days. The supply stockpiles for such an offen sive are already In place at the main Communist base in the Plalne dos Jarres. This projected time sched ule gains credibility. It must be added, from Nlklla S. Khrushchev's rapid retreat into the wilds of Siberia at the very moment when the U.S. i Ambassador to Moscow, Lie- welly n Thompson, was re - turning lo his post with a ler to Khrushchev from Presi-1 dent Kennedy. Obviously, if I Khrushchev is planning an of-1 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, ORE. By Joseph Alsop fensive in Laos in the imme diate future, he will prefer to execute his plan before he re ceives K e n n e d y's letter. Otherwise, his answer to Ken nedy will seem to be the or der to march given to the Laotian Communists. Yet the question about the lime schedule is really less important than the other ma jor question, which is wheth er the non-Communists in Laos still have the power to control the situation there. If the non-Communists do not have this power, or if they cannot be provided with this power, then a naked choice will eventually have to be made. One possible choice will be to surrender Laos to effective Communist control, perhaps under cover of a ne gotiation to "neutralize" the country, such as the British have been pleading for. ..The other possible choice will be to escalate that is, to raise the slakes in Laos by sponsoring intervention by the Thai army, by intervening ourselves, or in some other manner. TN other words, Laos Is per- ilously close to becoming another Korea, in slow motion and on a much smaller scale. The --worst of It is that the smallness of scale is merely local. The price of surrender in Laos will be hardly less llian the price that would have had to be paid, if Presi dent Truman had ducked the Korean challenge. A rapidly ensuing Communist victory in South Viet-Nam, and a more gradual but relentless Com munist take-over in South East Asia is the lowest expert estimate of the price. Thus far, there is not the smallest discernible inclina tion, in the State Department, in the Pentagon, and above all in the White House, to pay the price of comfortable surrender in Laos. But if this is the final decision when and if the crunch is no .longer avoidable, some remarkable rough weather may now be in the making. . (c) 1961. New York Herald Tribuna, Inc. Peace Corps Plans Reviewed by Head Of New Program By DICK WEST Washington-ltlFU-R. Sargent Shriver, a brother-in-law of President Kennedy, is the latest member of the First Family to re port for duty on the New Frontier. At the mo ment, he car ries the un official title of of the West President's newly announced Peace Corps program. As I understand it. his cur rent status is something like that of a non-commissioned general lending an unborn army on an Indeterminable mission. j who is young, and crispy as a Shriver, handsome ginger snap, endeavored to ex plain some of (he plans and specifications for the project ed Peace Corps at a news conference Monday. He was confined to a rather generalized recitation because the program at this point has not, as they say at the Penta gon, "firmed up." But for someone who Is not even on the payroll yet, Shriv er has tackled his assignment with a great exuberance. I got the impression that he is the Ivpc of fellow who will 1 gel there, even if he is not let-isure where he is going Although it did not pro-1 dure much in the way of solid Information, tha newi eon-l Communications letters to tha Editor must Dear the name and address of tho writer although under cer tain circumstances the use ot a ficrr name oi initial for publlca ion Is permissible The MaU Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with an eye to clarification and condensation LiClLCII UIJIIHilCU IUI ; tlon must not exceed 400 words j Needed Defenst To the Editor: If you will permit further needed de fense of the House Commit tee on Un-American Activities-necessity demands the clarification' of misleading statements by Mr. Jenny (Mail Tribune 3-3-61). If Mr. Jenny has a case let him point out more specifically the errors contained in the film "Operation Oblition" that have not already been corrected by HCUA. Because Mr. Jenny seems pre-oecupied with reading the left-wing press of the country, he may not have had time to read the Congressional Record of 1-9-61 containing the lestimony of a group of ministers (interdenomination al), present in the hearing room in San Francisco who are quite unequivocal in their statements about the commu nist agitators leading the riots. , Why Mr. Jenny insists on using the word doctoring is not apparent. The original film ran for 5 hours. The distributed film runs for ap proximately 40 minutes. The HCUA maintains most of the 5 hours contains repitition If this is true, the film was not "doctored." No more than Mr. Jenny would accuse Eric Allen of "doctoring" the news for not printing every item off the news wires. Further, there is the outspoken testi mony of Mr.- Christopher, mayor of San Francisco who has stated: "The film 'Oper ation Abolition' speaks for it self." The mayor's office is across the hall from the room where the HCUA hearings were being attempted. Finally (and in this Eric Allen admits it is the job of the F.B.I, to investigate), the F.B.I, through its director J. Edgard Hoover has pre sented testimony before the HCUA pointing out the spe cific known communists who were leading the demonstra tions. This testimony has been published in a small pamphlet that all may obtain by writing their congressman. Ask for the HCUA pamphlet titled: "Communist Target, Youth.' Robert J. Howard 828 B West 14th st. Medford. Tha Crucible To the Editor: "The Cruc ible," Arthur Miller's thought provoking play produced and performed by members of the senior class of Medford High School this past week, con stituted for me one more of many pleasant surprises since coming to Medford a few months ago. Brilliantly staged and superbly acted by the en tire cast, the show was an impressive display of excep tional dramatic talent and ob viously also of expert coach ing and direction. But it was more than a splendid performance and first-rate entertainment. Ar thur Miller had something im portant to say (one wishes this were true more often of the works of contemporary playwrights), namely, as the announcement stated, "that man's integrity is his most fcrence did serve to clear up several misconceptions about the Peace Corps. For instance, I had the idea that it was going to be a sort of CCC program for Ivy League graduates. But Shriv er said members of the corps might range in age from 18 to 60. He also look exception to charges that the Peace Corps might become a haven for draft dodgers. Nor will it be a "Children's Crusade" man ned by a bunch of overgrown Boy Scouts, he said. Work Without Pay The basic intention is to recruit Americans of assorted skills who are willing to work for a year or two in under developed countries with no pay except minimum living expenses and a small terminal bonus. Shriver is now setting up a pilot program to go into op eration before the end of this year under an executive order of the President. Later, when all of the de tails have been worked out, the program will be submit ted to Congress with a request for operating funds. What got me Interested in the program was Kennedy's statement that Peace Corps mon might also be sent Into certain areas of the United States, as well as overseas. It is my hope that one will he sent into the suburbs of Washington and that he will be an expert on crab grass control. Independent States Commonwealth Are By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Naws Analyst This week in London's Lan caster House, the 11 independ ent members of the British common- wealth meet in an atmos phere of dis cord marked ly at odds with i'M their gracious s u rrounauigs At the & a aiurin s L-cmei is Prime Min- Newsom isier n. r Verwoerd of the Union of South Africa whose stern pol icy of "apartheid" denying equal rights to non-white has resulated in Asian and Afri can demands that the Union of South Africa be ousted from its commonwealth mem bership. Strongly allied with Ver woerd is Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky of the Central African Federation of North and South Rhodesia and Ny asaland. The federation is not yet independent, but it is tradi tional that its prime minister attend commonwealth meet ings. Welensky's policy of seg regation has been described as even more severe than that of South Africa. . Confusing System The commonwealth system is at once both irrational and effective, and even the Brit- precious possession, worth de fending at any cost , and these young people said it with genuine sincerity and moving power. There was also a special timeliness in this work of art so beautifully and effectively performed. Again quoting from the announcement, "Al though the, plot of the drama is based on the witchcraft trials of early New England . it is a mistake to see 'The Crucible' as merely an inter esting expose of a particularly sorry and remote part of American history . . . Pres sures lo conform are as great today In many ways as they were in 1692, and the decision to resist is hard to make." There is added pertinence to this observation . when one thinks of the character assas sination of the McCarthyites, past and present, super-patri ots who would have us believe that our churches, schools, col leges and universities, even government, are infested by communists: and who label as subversive or fellow-traveler anyone who denies these pat ently absurd and completely unprovable accusations. This laller-day species of witch-hunting and defamation of individuals (as, for in stance, Chancellor John Rich ards of the Stale Board of Higher Education by the al leged president of the "Order of Patriotic Americans" only this past week), and of organ izations or institutions of proved integrity and unques tionable patriotism, is all too prevalent and yet rests upon equally specious grounds. One must hope that all who saw "The Crucible" at the High School learned from it, if not before, to make this pertinent comparison and there highly resolved to have no part in any of this wicked contem porary counterpart, but on the contrary, to resist it whenever and wherever it shows itself. The principal actors in the high school play were truly outstanding, but indeed every part was exceptionally well played. It is no exaggeration to say that in my fairly long life and work with young peo ple in various parts of the country, 1 never have seen a serious play such as this so magnificently performed by tccnagcrs-the match of many college or even some profes sional casts I have seen. The whole show was a sheer de light, as was also the excel lent program of the high school orchestra. The audi ence's reaction indicated every bit as deep appreciation as mine. In the idiom of the theater in New York and in Europe, a loud and enthusias tic "Bravo!" to one and all! Arnold Eugene Jenny Rogue Valley Manor Medford. FBI, HUAC and tha Mayor To the Editor: This is an answer to Mr. Eric Allen, Mr. Jenny, and all others who have criticized the House Un American Activities commit tee. The statement has been made by Mr. Allen that the HUAC is not needed because we have the FBI. But the FBI must work in secret. It cannot act otherwise without exposing the FBI men placed in Communist cells, thus rend ing its work ineffective. The HUAC can work openly and docs do so. One reason for its existence is to obtain in- 1 zl It formation not otherwise ob- tamable, on which to bae new leg,sla(ion. Neither the FBI nor the HUAC can bring legal action. They can present! 1 ish who invented it have trou ble explaining exactly how or why it works. A vice president of India once said of it: "Common wealth means for us complete independence and informal as sociation, sharing of ideals, though not of allegiance, of purposes though not of loy alties, common discussions . . . though not binding decisions." From a parctical standpoint, the commonwealth works be cause it provides economic advantages both to Britain and to her former colonies through tariff and various trade agreements.

I have been privileged to hear a tape recording of a speech concerning the May, 1960, student riots in San Francisco by Mr. George Christopher, mayor of San Francisco, to the Chamber of Commerce of St. Paul, Minn., and later given over the Mu tual Radio network in Fulton Lewis' news broadcast. Mr. Christopher spoke al length of the riot, riis office is across the hall from the chamber in which the hearing was held. He stated that the noise was so great that no work could be done in any office in the court house. He stated that known Communists directed the proceedings. He also stat ed that the film "Operation Abolition" is a true presenta tion of what occurred. It would seem from the above that every loyal Ameri can should make it a point to see this film the next time it is presented in this area. I can assure you from my own knowledge that you will be both saddened and shocked. I could never have believed, had I not seen it, that univer sity students could be so in fluenced by a few unscrupu lous Communists, as to com pletely forget all personal decency and honor. ! Anna M. Streed 36 North Peach st. Medford. O Editor's note: Mayor Chris topher's views on the "riots" are a bit clouded by the fact that he wasn't even in town when they were taking place; he was attending a luncheon in Burlingame, and did not return until the trouble had subsided. (Christian Science Monitor, Feb. 15, 1961, Page 3.) Protected Jobs To the Editor: For a good many years now uregon s voters have been sending a Senator to Washington who is a devoted defender of recipro cal trade. Another name for this program is no tariffs. In the past, American jobs have been protected by tariffs. The American market is the biggest in the world. In 1940, when the great F.D.R. got his reciprocal trade program go ing, the American market was 50 per cent of the world mar ket. The dollar an hour work ers of that time In America were protected by tariffs against the 10 and 20 cent an hour labor in Europe and Asia. No imagination was needed to foresee what would happen if tariffs were eliminated. The growing numbers of unem ployed people in America have no one but Ihemsrlvps lo blame for the fact thnn for eign imports are putting IliPin out of work. They rlrrtrd the men who advocated lht pol icy. Exports paid fur by money supplied by the Amer ican taxpayer Is not trade. Neither arc gifts or military supplies sent abroad rliihtly classed as trade. The fact Is. our foreign trade is only 4 per cent of our gross national product and it is not important. Tariffs however protect the great ; American industrial complex. I without which half the work-!"1" 'Hg men in America would be out of work. O. L. Brannaman 3970 Sierra Vista v.

The commonwealth system has no mechanics for remov ing a member. But in October, 1960, whita South Africans voted to be come a republic instead of a constitutional monarchy un der the British crown. According to custom any commonwealth member changing its status must ask permission to remain in the commonwealth. South Africa has been unable to obtain as surances that her request will be approved. S. WHITE tion is preparing to attack tha basic problem of this coun try's unsatisfactory economio growth by help to business where it cdunts-in taxes. Its plan to give tax relief for ex pansion and modernization of American industry lies, in fact, at the heart of its whole, economic program. This will be shown beyond doubt in the recommenda tions, now being prepared, which will be sent to congress in the President's tax mes sage late this month. IAX write-offs for updating our industrial plant will be demanded in the face of gathering opposition from two groups which did much lo elect the president, tha labor leaders and the ultra liberal Democrats. The thing, moreover, is not lo be sloganed through on the. mere claim that it would ease the current recession. Trie administration is pre pared to say frankly thnt while lax relief of this sort might be helpful in this short - term connection, it might not be. For, actually, the administration, while re solved to take all needed shot-in-the-arm measures here, is quite confident that an up turn will soon arrive. And it probably will arriva before any new tax relief could really be fell. This, tha current sluggishness, is not the bedrock concern, and never was. This bedrock concern is lo improve the whole competi tive position of American en terprise in the world's mar kets. This can only be done, it is felt, by sharp improve ments in our industrial ma chine. It is costing our busi ness people more lo make things than it ought to ba costing. OEVERAL of our world trada '' rivals, notably the West Germans, have more modern industrial facilities than ours, for the simple reason that after the devastation of the second world war they hart to start again, from tha ground up. Once our world compelitivfi) situation is improved, nearly every present economic prob lem including the unduly large amount of American money which goes abroad and stays will be on the way lo solution. For the more we sell abroad, the more money in cluding American money now held abroad will coma home. This kind of thinking with in the administration is im proving the climate between the White House and busi ness. By and large, of course, business did not support tha president last year, and prob ably won't next lime. But Ilia businessmen are increasingly ot a mind In give him a full chance in the meantime, for two fundamental reasons.

Secre tary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, is an authentic Wall Slreel Republican. And it n noi unimportant that the pres ident is a well-known bene Ilciary of the free enterprise system .
