FRIDAY, MARCH 31. 1061 Uninspiring The legislature now narclly Deen a joy ana an inspiration. The Senate, in particular, has put on a series of unedifying displays of pettiness and recalci trance, with a slim majority managing to push through some bills which are difficult to classify as being necessary, or even in the public interest. The majority of these have been bills favoring one segment or another of Dig business, ana not infrequently at the expense of the rest of the people of the state. IN TUESDAY'S Mail Marguerite Wright which discussed the so called "Three Way Bill," designed to aid the in surance companies, gave what appears to us to be a prettv erood analysis of the problems and the politicking going on And it certainly reflects no glory on that coterie of conservative Senators of both parties, who have chosen to follow the leadership of Sen ator Walter Pearson, whose motives are known to him alone, but which are questioned by many. As Mrs. Wright points clear-cut explanation for what is going on, for many diverse and sometimes conflicting interests are involved. And it should be added that the House tends to show up a bit better than the Senate. IX'E ARE happy to note that the bill which " would have regulated trading stamps oui, of existence was tabled in committee this week. It was one of a series of bills which would have restrained many people But another bill designea to give unjustined tax relief to a small segment of industry is still alive, however, having passed both houses. It is the measure to relieve the big trucks of some of the weight-mile taxation, extra costs of heavy-duty lame part, by those very There is reason to believe that the big trucks even now are not paving their share of road building costs, and to lower their rate of high way taxes simply means that (1) highway con struction will be cut back; and (2) all other high way users will have to pay a higher and unfair share of the highway costs. IT NOW also appears of Washington paying for part of it, but Oregon payinp; for the major part. This probably was inevitable, and it also may be that the bridge will do all for the economy of Astoria and the coast But we have objected to it for three reasons : 1. It is another example of the legislature substituting its judgment for that of the high way commission, and fouling up a carefully con sidered program of highway construction design ed to benefit the entire state. 2. The usatre of the ceed some expectations, ti-millions oi dollars it win cost. 3. Most importantly, available for road construction badly needed elsewhere in the state. BOTH houses of the legislature have rushed tVii'nnn-Vi nntliniM'aHnii in nrnnpprl with t.hf Boardman land exchange to permit the Boeing company to go ahead with a lease of the area for purposes which have never. been spelled out. jnow tnis migni turn out to De a line unng ior the state. But nobody knows, for sure. And for the state to rush into this million-dollar deal, at some inconvenience and expense to the Navy, i , i i i- ? ; l l . ana at proDame inconvenience to sneepmeu in Lake county, without knowing just what the re sults will be, smacks of irresponsibility. Another bill which, as far as we have been able to determine, is still alive, and which should be killed outright as patently absurd, is the one which would allow "local option"' on daylight saving time. What a mess that would be ! ANOTHER measure which has suffered from the effects of big business lobbying is the water pollution measure requested by the State Sanitary Authority, to give it some tools to work with in combating the very real and growing menace of water pollution. An amendment (in the Senate, of course) would hamstring the Sanitary Authority, and de lay, once again and for no one knows how long, any effective action on this pressing problem. The House has eliminated this crippling amend ment, happily. But the Senate's actions are evidence as in the Three Way Bill, the Big Truck tax bill, and in others that what big business wants, big busi ness gets in the Senate, under its present lead ership, anyway. ("!OV. Mark Hatfield's reorganization proposals aren't getting very far this session, either. They are chiefly designed to give the execu tive department far more authority over admin istrative agencies. Now there are varieties of authority. One is the direct statutory authority sought in many of these measures. Another, and potentially an even more effective form of or ciiective lacicrsnip. We agree with Former, Governor Charles A Sprague that the governor can have great influ ence over the actions of the agencies, if he pro vides imaginative and and has the tools to do The tools, in this case, include an adequate staff in his own office, to provide good liaison and staff work.

Thoughts on Cats To the Editor: About the time the first letters concern ing stray cats begin to appear in this column in the current series of debate on the ques tion, we had a call from an experimental laboratory ask ing for an unlimited number of cats to be used on a special test they wanted to run. Now I happen to like cats very well myself. I think they are a lot more useful and nicer to have around for ro dent control than a package of poison. I also think that Cat Care" organization is a really good idea. Also the county or city should have a place available for disposal of unwanted cats. This does not mean-that a cat pickup service should be run by any of the governmental bodies, but there should be a ploce where those who wish to remove cats from their premises could take them. There would then be a basis for enforcement of the presently standing law against abandonment of ani mals. However, when we started passing the word around that we wanted cats for labora tory work, what a mess we ran Into. In fact in its own little wav it stired up so much complaint (cooperation was of fered from a couple sources but I am not about to name them and put anybody on the spot) we just dropped the whole matter. It is beyond my understand ing why, when there Is a sur plus of cats, anyone would rather have them disposed of at taxpayers' expense, or have them turned loose to fend for themselves to steal chickens when available and birds al ways. Instead of letting them be used' to further education of the human race. I am asking the Mail Tri bune to withhold my name on this letter not because of po tential argument, (that can be done in this column), but be cause we do not want a flood of cats dropped in our area at night. If there arc some peo ple who want to send their cats lo the laboratory (not the Medford ones) they should be able to find a way to get hold of us and we will let you know when they are wanted.

Something Missing To the Editor: I am sending you a copy of the letter sent to the Medford Ministerial as sociation, and would you please print it in the hopes that others might write them similar letters if they also agree: Dear Sirs: Last evening my husband and I attended one of the most interesting P.T.A. meetings we've had the pleas ure of attending. The theme of the program was the spiritual climate in our homes, school and community. However, I was very much disturbed in hearing Mr. Lar ry Tweedy, reporting on the Juvenile Home, say that there is no provision, other than the detained child asking for his minister to visit, for making contact with these children with spiritual help. I'm sure you will all agree that these boys and girls that must be held at the home are in need of help. They certain ly are disturbed and some could be reached for the Lord. Couldn't the churches you rep resent set up a program for a regular service, taking turns presenting the gospel, and be available for counseling If they desired it? It seems we are failing If we let these children pass through this home without of fering a helping hand spirit ually. Mr. Tweedy stated the average stay is 11 days, though some only a day or two, and there have been some detained months. He said there wasn't a place for serv ices, but he mentioned they play volley ball, so I'm sure there must be a room large In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS On Sunday night, the town of Italy, in Eastern Texas (population 1200) was hit by a "twister," which is the col loquial name in those parts for a cyclone. The damage done by the storm was esti mated at $750,000. The story, of course, went on the wires. In Washington, D.C., it was read by Repre sentative Olin Teague, mem ber of congress from the Sixth district of Texas, which in cludes the town of Italy. He promptly offered to seek federal disaster relief if the cily wanted it. rpHE CITY council met and -- ronsidpred his offer, dis cussing it pro and con. At the conclusion of the meeting, it sent him this courteous tele gram, which was drafted by Russell Bryant, editor of the Italy News-Herald. "The city council author izes me to thank you for the offer of federal disaster funds. But we feel the federal treas ury is In WORSE SHAPE than the town of Italy and suggest that any allocation of funds for us be applied to the national debt." I CLEVER political jibe? Wait a minute.

Korean Veterans To the Editor: This is in answer to the WWII veteran's recent letter. There was no mustering out pay for Korean veterans until the last part of 1952. The mustering out act of 1952 gave each Korean vet eran with overseas duty $300. 1 know of some that didn't get their money until 1953. That was the earliest date I think they paid. The Korean GI Bill makes it nearly Impossible to get compensation for illness in service. As far as a veteran going to a hospital here, they have a long waiting list. I know of one veteran that had cancer. He was on the waiting list for 2 years. After they got him to a V.A. hospital, it was too late. He died and left four children. As for a veteran get ting a pension, it is nearly im possible. The last administra tion in Washington cut off 74,000 veterans. We have between 8,000 and 12,000 veterans in the state hospital system all the time. There have been no beds for mentally ill veterans since 1947. WWII Veterans have been talking to the post on epilep sy. It can be caused by illness; such as a high fever, a blow on the head, a stroke, or a chemical change in the body. Roy Templeton, . P. O. Box 42, Hilt, Calif. would be involved if the town of Italy should decide to bor row the money to pay for its own restoration after a dis astrous storm and put it on its own cuff instead of asking the federal government to do the job and PUT IT ON THE FEDERAL CUFF.

It was natural that Spaak should have been selected to serve as civilian head of NATO, the organization which brings the armies of Western Europe under a single com mand. He long has been one of the strongest advocates of a United States of Europa, urging political and economic as well as military unity. Included also in his active career was his bitter opposi tion in 1950 to the return of King Leopold III, who fled Belgium before the advancing armies of Hitler Germany. Under socialist pressure, Leopold abdicated and his son Baudouin moved in first as prince royal and then as king. Today, Spaak is in the midst of a political comeback. In Wilson Foresees Big Years Ahead for United States By LYLE C. WILSON Washington (UPD Presi dent Kennedy will lick Presi dent Eisenhower the first time around in the spending arena. It isn't even going to be close. Eisen hower was the U. S. spending champ. This made him and others un happy because Wilson General Ike entered politics as a government economy man. Washington Report By WILLIAM TIME OF TESTING Washington -Springtime in Washington has suddenly Be come an acute time of test fcr the still-new administration o f President Kennedy. From the outside, for eign crises -in Laos and elsewhere - -move implac ably upon him. From the White inside, a conservative coali tion of deep Southerners and Republicans in the House of Representatives . offers deter mined challenges to some as pects of his domestic pro gram. This, indeed, will be a spring he will long remem ber. For his third month in office is confronting him with a larger complex of mixed questions than any president of recent memory has had to meet all at once. Fate and circumstances have put an end to that peri od in which the president seemed to be skimming along with such ease over the sea of his problems. Now, he is sailing against the tide both as captain of this nation's foreign affairs and as skipper of a Democratic crew which home policy sometimes thinks it knows the better where the ship ought to go. THE President, moreover, is rnmnelled to walk a thin line between using persuasion and flatly applying the naked power of the presidency against dissident Democrats. Some Democrats whose as sistance he most requires-and obtains - on some issues are the first to create difficulties for him on other issues. Some Republicans who are giving him the greatest trouble in his domestic plans are absolutely vital to him in his foreign pol icy purposes. He is in a situation where the world is increasingly in dangerous turmoil in precise ly those days and wee!:j ;.i which he must develop his domestic leadership. The only wholly favorable news he has had of late is from the home economy. There are accumu lating signs that the business slump is drawing to its close. Confederation Seen Solution in Congo United Nations, N. Y. -tlTD-U. S. Ambassador Adlai Stev enson said today that he sees "no other solution" than a form of confederation for the Congo. Stevenson, who appeared with Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, said the United Nations force Is essential in the Congo until some solution to the crisis is found. He said Congolese leaders are "groping" for a confeder ation system in their talks. At present, the Congo is techni cally a centralized govern ment, ruled from LeopoH ville, but it actually has at least three splinter govern ments, in Katanga, sSouth Kasai, and Orental provinces. More Stability After! last Sunday's elections, he re ceived a record 60,000 votes in Brussels and is given much of the credit for his party's success in the national elec tions which toppled the Social Christian-Liberal party coall tion of Premier Gaston Eys kens. , This week, Spaak was mov ing rapidly to consolidate his gains. In a 1,000-word editorial In the Socialist party publica tion "Le Pouple," he called for a Socialist-Social Christian coalitidn government. Working In his favor were left Wing Social Christians who long have denounced their party's affiliation with the conservative liberals and the Social Christian trade un ions. Working against him was Social Christian opposition to socialist demands for repeal Eisenhower spent an aver age of $71.5 billion a year during his two White House terms. He took office commit ted to the proposition that government spending should be held to about $60 billion annually. His next-to-last pres idential budget proposed that the federal government spend $79.6 billion in the current fiscal year. The final Eisen hower budget proposed spend ing $81.5 billion. President Kennedy proposes now - to hike that figure to $84.9 billion. Pressure groups, the cold war, wasteful govern ment operations and other S. WHITE Thus it Is that these are far from restful days to the man in the White House. His sched ule is necessarily a hurried, crowded blend. At one mo ment he meets and deals with one of the world's powerful men - a British prime minis ter, an African president, a Scandinavian leader. At an other he is deep in conversa tion with domestic politicians on minimum wages,' on de pressed-area bills, and all the rest. Still, the president in his home setting - in the White House - offers the very oppo site of any impression of a harassed and worried man. In the now casual atmosphere of that old mansion, he moves about unhurriedly, acting on a great variety of matters calmly and decisively. TIE SPEAKS laconically and without any sense of strain or urgency. He -takes plenty of time, usually, at his lunch, and is in fact less thin and far less intense-looking than before he took office. His face is fuller. His manner is more relaxed. He takes to the life of the place (and, seem ingly, to the hard duties of the presidency) with an off hand ease that was not notice able in either President Ei senhower or President Tru man. Though he underrates none of his difficulties, he does not moan about them. His view toward his adver saries - whether they be the true and mortal enemies abroad of himself and of this country, or simply domestic adversaries who are simply critics within the civilized rules of free-world politics - has no trace of violent feel ing. On the one set, the for eign enemies, he wastes no high emotion. He simply and coolly is confident of his abil ity to deal with them in the end. On the other set, his domes tic antagonists, he spends no vain r-'n-ets or recrimina tions, iie himself was too long Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF MOVIE PRODUCER Billy Wilder has two gimmicks up his sleeve that he hasn't yet been able to jimmy into a picture. Both involve operatives from behind the Iron Curtain. -In one, the Commies kidnap a great film star in West Berlin and brain wash her. They are com pletely frustrated, how ever, because they dis cover she has no brains to wash In the other, a top Commissar takes it on the lam and seeks sanc tuary In Paris. In re venge, the boys at the Kremlin liquidate his wife and six children. The Commissar thereupon hotfoots it right back to Moscow. He's no traitor at all; he just wanted to get rid of his family. e Sign In the winJow of a chop Wv Joint: "MOO GOO OAl PAN JUST LIKE MAMA, USED TO MAKE." 0 1M1 by Bennett Cert Jtrtbuttd by Kls( Features Ryu licet Key Figure of Eysken's controversial eco nomic reform and tax bill passed by the outgoing par liament. This was the austerity bill by which the Eyskens govern.' ment sought to offset financial losses in the Congo. Strikes touched off by socialist oppo sition cost the nation millions of dollars in lost time and property damage. .; Despite their election losses, the Social-Christians remain Belgium's strongest party, and in any coalition with the So cialists, they would supply the premier. t; Spaak probably would be come foreign minister. The stocky, bespectacled Spaak already has said what his foreign policy would be: Solid support for NATO and the United States leadership in the alliance, plus a new, steady drive for European po litical unification. Spending factors tend always to compel government to spend more; not less, each year. It is apparent, therefore, that some years of truly big time spending lie ahead. The figures will be in the middle and upper $80 billions and, perhaps, they will break through into the $90s. Ken nedy inevitably will spend more in four years than has any other president and, if he is a two-termer, he will leave office the spending champ with a fat margin over Eisen hower, the present title hold er. The expiring and next fiscal years Will be deficit years in which the U. S. Treasury will borrow $4 or $5 billions -make it $6 to be on the safe side. That will put the Fed eral Reserve System just that much further into the busi ness of financing government - which is the duty of the tax payers - instead of financing business and industry, which is the duty of the Federal Re serve. . It is this process in which the Federal Reserve System deals with the Treasury debt that causes inflation. When the process is under way, tho Federal Reserve System prop erly is described as an engina of inflation. The process js described as the monetization of the national debt. That is a phrase difficult to explain, but the end result Is that too many dollars begin chasing too few goods which means that the price of the goods goes up and the pur chasing power of the dollars go down. This applies specifically and directly to your dollars and to the small change in your pocket. This process can de stroy a dollar as effectively as it twice has destroyed tha German mark, as it has de stroyed the Chinese unit of currency and almost destroyed money units in half the other nations of the world. This process of currency in flation was a raging fiscal ill ness during the Truman ad ministration. Eisenhower said Harry S. Truman encouraged currency inflation to create the illusion of prosperity. Ike added: "This always is dona by administrations that care more for the next election than for the next generation,," There is more to come. As Al Jolson used to say: "You ain't seen nothin' yet." in Congress not to be aware that dissent is its second name. He knows, too, that to day's dissenters in Congress can become tomorrow's sup porters. And, finally, he well knows that this is a hard spring. P it, in the common expression, it surely is not getting him down. (Copyright, 1961. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
