A N IMPRESSION or two of Oregon's congress-
sional delegation in
Congressman Edwin R. Durno of Medford
(with whom we chatted briefly by telephone) is
a "freshman," but. is learning the ropes rapidly
and well. He is ably assisted by Robert Parkman,
who formerly was in former Sen. Guy Cordon's
office, and who is exceedingly well-inlormea
about the Capital, and with "who's who." Dr.
Durrio, we were told,' is doing his "homework,"

sOONGRESSWOMAN
is, very likely, the most influential member of
the delegation, due to her connections with the
Kennedy administration. She is universally re
spected, if not necessarily universally liked. She
is a member of the liberal Democratic group in
the house, and has little in common with either
Durno or Norblad. Her chief concern lies in the
field of education, although she is knowledge
able in many matters of
Charlie Porter, the volatile ex-congressman
from this district, is still hoping for an appoint
ment in the Administration, which would take
advantage of his considerable talents, but, de
spite his own optimism,
about his chances. He plans to return to Eugene
and reopen his law practice, if such a job is not
forthcoming.
117AYNE Morse, Oregon's senior senator, cur-
' rently is in a position of infuence, since he
is chairman of the education subcommittee of
the Senate Labor committee, and is presiding
over the hearings on federal aid to education,
including the Administration's proposals.
Other than this, it is difficult to measure the
degree of influence he weilds. Some say it is
virtually nil, as a result of his willingness to take
on anyone in a fight, and not worry about "team
play. Others ascribe a considerable and increas
ing influence to him, in large part because of his
growing seniority in a body which allocates
power 111 no small measure on that basis.
, Personally, Senator Morse can be utterly
charming, when he wants to be. But he can also
flail an opponent with a bitter, cutting tongue.
CENATOR Neuberger, as a freshman Senator,
also is doing her homework, keening up with
her huge mail, and is busy getting ner office in
order. She has been presiding over the Senate on
frequent occasions, and, as one of two women
in the Senate and as the widow of a widely re
spected Senator, she is accorded considerable
deference. But she is staving relatively quiet on
many matters until she feels herself better organ
ized and better prepared.
These five Oregonians in Congress (we are
not acquainted with Al Ullman of the second
district) are, collectively, an able, personable,
and potentially strong group of individuals.
But, for both political and personal reasons,
it is rare indeed that they function as a team for
the benefit of Oregon which is sad for a state
which, because of size and distance, needs the
most potent representation it can get in the U.S.
Congress. -E.A.

Many people seem to have

The Rough and the Smooth
To the Editor: When we
read the very entertaining
Communications column, we
are sometimes amazed by what
people find to take swings at
to try to iron out the "humps '
and 4 bumps ' of life.
In the past few days at least
one person has sounded off
against "birth;" several write
as if they'd kick if they were
going to be hanged (thats
death"): and others have
made passes at almost every
facet of life from the cradle
to the grave.
In an actual physical sense,
If hills and valleys were
smoothed out, scientists say,
the water of the oceans would
flood the entire earth to a
very uncomfortable depth
several feet deeper than the
tallest man is in height.
So it would be with Com
munications' "flood" of words

A Question of Policy
To the Editor: In reply to
letter by Roxnnne Hnllquist
and the editor's note accom
panying it, may 1 state that
In general I agree with the
letter but feel that the views
xprcssed in the note do not
reflect true Americanism. The
Pilgrims came to this hind to
escape religious persecution
nd establish a place in which
man could worship his God
fter the dictates of his own
conscience. It is true that these
very founders of religious
freedom failed, at times, to
practice what they preached
In that their view of freedom
of worship consisted of wor
shiping in their way only.
Here we sec the age old
bugagoo, there are only two
ways, my way and the wrong
way. This bigotry has ever
been the stumbling block of
religion by man's narrow
view Inserting discord Into
an area where harmony is an
Important goal.
In establishing the United
S lutes and its form of govern
ment, full consideration of the
value of religion and the in
iquities experienced in the
exercise of religion were tak
en by the authors of the Con
stitution, who, in their wis
dom, sought to separate State
and Religion by making relig
ion no qualification for office
or public trust.-
Having established this
point, they did not interfere
with the free exercise of wor
ship but did preclude its dom
inance in affairs of State,
thereby creating the first at
mosphere of TRUE freedom
of religion.
In precluding religious in
terference in government they
did not make religion a test
of citizenship, nor did they
establish any system of taxing
along the lines of religion.
If we are not taxed as Jew
ish, Protestant or other than
as citizens, does it not follow
that all tax monies should be
used to the benefits of the
citizens without any discrimi
nation as regards religion?
It is assumed that the par
ents of the children attending
Parochial schools are taxpay
ers and therefore entitled cer
tain benefits from such, Also
consider the much bemoaned
plight of the public school sys
tem and the present struggle
to finance it, then contem
plate chaos if the Parochial
schools should suddenly close
and throw their pupils on the
public school system for edu
cation which they can demand.
So it seems that some ar
rangement should be made
whereby these children should
get their education without
regard to religious sect.
In conclusion may I state
that I was raised, and still am,
a Protestant, and am a strong
a d v o cate of separation of
Church and State. I see this
as a question of educating
American pupils regardless of
their religious lennings, and
since our government is pro
tected can see no harm in con
tinuing our exercise of free
dom.

A Constitutional Question
To the Editor: I was very
much impressed by Roxanne
Hallquist's letter regarding
the constitutionality of feder
al aid ' to parochial schools.
She certainly has provided
some food for thought, and
after some careful review of
that famous document, I am
inclined to believe that all
of us might do well to become
a little more fomillar with it.
However, the real point of
my letter is to take exception
with the editor's note with
regard to her letter. The edi
tor. In referring to aid to
parochial schools, says that
such aid is "In effect, a viola
tion of the constitutional ban
on 'establishing' - in this case
assisting - religious instruc
tion." I presume that here the
editor is referring to the first
amendment, as anything simi
lar is not mentioned elso-
whero in the Constitution, or
In any of the other amend
ments. The first amendment
states, "Congress shall make
no law respecting an estab
lishment of religion, or pro
hibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the free
dom of speech ", etc.
Now, at first reading, it
might appear that the editor
was right in his appraisal.
However, if one were to take
the time, and read the mean
ing intended into this first
part of the first amendment.
I think that he would find
that it means rather than Con
gress should pass no law which
would Impose any regulation
on an establishment of relig
ion. If the intent of the writ
ers had been to impose a ban
on establishing or assisting
religion, It would seem to me
that the wording would have
been definite In that regard.

THOSE JOHN BIRCHERS
The John Birch society Is
a native American know-
nothing movement, secret and
authoritarian, yet presumably
happy to be getting sudden
publicity, for that is the yeast
that makes fringe organiza
tions grow.
But the fringe organizations
should not mislead us. They
do not have a very wide ap
peal or great staying power.
Anyone who believes what
Robert Welch, founder of the
John Birchers, has said, that
Dwight Elsenhower is a Com
munist party subordinate of
his brother Milt, must be
slightly cracked.
Like the Gerald L. K. Smith
groups, the Silver Shirts, and
other know - nothing move
ments in the stream of Amer
ican history, this outfit ap
peals to a sort of paranoia
that lurks among extremists
of all persuasions. Fortunate
ly, most of us are not In that
stage of mental . imbalance
wherein we are disposed to
believe that Chief Justice
Warren is daily conspiring
with his fellow Justices to
overthrow the Constitution
The John Birch movement
might become a ponderable
political problem in California
because of its rate of growth
in Los Angeles, which hap
pens to be for the John Birch
ers what it is for so many
cults, a cradle of the disorient
ed. Apparently the fear of po
litical Birchism has caused
Governor Brown to urge the
society's investigation by the
Attorney General.
We agree with the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union,
however. Regardless of how
extreme and distorted its
views may be, to investigate
them is unconstitutional, un
called for, not worth the trou
ble or attendant front-page
publicity. San Francisco

What of Laos today?
As this is written, it looks
a little better.
rnHE British (who, putting it
-- frankly, want NO MORE
WARS, ever) have proposed
an immediate cease-fire, to be
followed by an international
conference. President Ken
nedy and British Prime Min
ister Macmillan held a meet
ing in Key West (Florida) and
seem to have reached agree
ment that neither of us wants
war.
Pravda, official Russian
newspaper, prints a piece
whose general drift is that
the Soviet Union will wel
come a solution of the Laos
problem at the conference
table instead of the field of
battle. The Pravda article
amounted to broad approval
of American and British
moves to "bring the situation
into negotiation."
To understand the import
ance of the Pravda article, we
must remember that in Russia
newspapers are OFFICIAL
ORGANS OF THE GOVERN
MENT. They say what they
are TOLD to say. That's a
convenience, because if the
government changes its mind
it can disavow what the news
paper said, explaining that it
was mere newspaper talk.
The Pravda article seems to
indicate that the Russians
aren't too anxious to wade
into war in Laos.
THE BIG question, of course:
Do the Russians warn, a
fight now - or DON'T THEY?
If they don t want to fight
now, a solution of the Laos
crisis" will be easy to find.
We don't want a fight, either.
WHAT'S at stake In Laos?
Well, it ISN'T self-government
for the Laotians. The
Laotians don't care a hoot for
self-government. They're
happy, fun-loving lot. Govern
ing themselves is too much
trouble. About all they want
was put into words by Sam
Walter Foss in these lines:
'Let me live in my house by
the side of the road and be
a friend of man."
They don't care much who
runs their government as long
as they're left free to have
themselves a good time.
WHAT else is at stake in
The answer In FACE.
What's face?
It's a lot of things. Its def
inition occupies 4 '5 inches of
space in Webster's Collegiate
Dictionary. Among 17 other
definitions is this one: "Dig
nity, prestige, as: To save
one's face."
for Castro Fading,

government and industry,
which Mexicans resent. A
third was Castro's action In
taking his quarrel with the
United States to the United
Nations outside the American
family. Mexicans believe it
should have stayed inside the
Organization of American
States.
Economically, between the
United States and Cuba, Mex
ico finds itself in much the
same position as a man suf
fering from split personality.
Economic Advantage

many, for example.
Another Method would be
simply to keep the debt on
the books, paying interest on
it to the bond holders. That
would cost around $9 billions
a year. That is what it costs
now. a dreadful load.
The third method would be
to pay off that debt. Every
body is for that, but nobody
does much about it. A start
could be made by raising tax
es and reducing government
spending, both unlikely. If
the debt ever is paid off, it
will be by our grandchildren
and their grandchildren. I
have five grandchildren and
I nominate them for part of
the job. They won't like it
but if the debt is to be paid
off they and their kids and so
on will have it to do.
Mean and Selfish
This is a mean and selfish
thing to do to our grandkids.
It would be better for them,
however, than repudiation of
the debt or simply to carry it
forever at great cost.
Best for the grandkids
would be higher taxes right
now and a hard-nosed econ
omy program by an adminis
tration and a Congress which
could look a pressure group
in the eye and says, go easy,
boys, we can't afford it.
There won't be any of
that, however; anyway, not
much. On the contrary, the
United States probably will
continue to live beyond its
means. The grandkids may
not have any opportunity at
all to pay off the debt for
JENKINS
The situation in Laos is
that nobody wants to fight,
but nobody wants to lose face.
If, at the conference proposed
by the British, somebody can
come up with a proposal that
will save everybody's face,
there will be no war in Laos
- at least now.
THERE'S another ' reason
why nobody wants war in
Laos NOW. The Monsoon
rains are just about to begin.
The Monsoons are TORREN
TIAL rains that "come in
spring and early summer. And
. . . Laos is practically solid
jungle. Nobody wants to fight
a war in the jungle in the
Monsoon season.
ONE more question:
Will there be war over
Laos - now or LATER?
It certainly doesn't look
like Laos is important enough
to touch off a war in these
days when any kind of war
COULD wind up in nuclear
war. But we mustn't forget
Sarajevo. At Sarajevo, the un
important capital of the un
important Austrian province
of Bosnia, on June 28, 1914,
Austrian Archduke Francis

Against this natural desire

Mexico would like to act as

Oxydenrum Trees
Planted on Streets
In Blossom Hill
Several Oxydenrum, or
sourwood trees, were planted
on Oleander and Camelia
aves. in the Blossom Hill
subdivision last night upon
their arrival from Ohio.
The planting, which was
under the direction and co
ordination of Mr. and Mrs.
D. T. Grigsby, is in connec
tion with the Medford street
tree committee's tree plan.
Residents of the subdivision
had holes dug and the soil
prepared a few days before
the trees arrived, and as soon
as they arrived the trees
were planted.
The Oxydenrum is noted
for its handsome foliage,
graceful white andromeda
like panicles in the summer
and its bright scarlet coloring
in the fall. It is a native of
the central and eastern states
where it reaches a height of
30 to 60 feet, and is used as
an ornamental in many gar
dens. The tree is slow growing
and is free of insects and dis
eases, the tree committee
said.
Since nurseries in the west
grow it only as a shrub, it
was necessary to order the
trees from Ohio. It is the se
lected tree for Minnesota st.,
where a start has been made
in planting.
Blossom Hill subdivision is
the only subdivision in the
valley with underground elec
tric and telephone wires, eli
minating poles in the tract.
The cost of the trees was
shared by the home owners
and Mark Goldy, the sub
divider. ONE IS ENOUGH
