A Right to Complain
' To the Editor: The article
In the Mail Tribune on Thurs
day, April 6, concerning the
bpundary dispute between the
Phoenix school board and res
idents of the city of Medford
and others in the autskirts, has
prompted us to writs this let
ter.- : .
' Although the ways of gov.
ernment are often obscure and
the effect on the people is usu-1
ally separated by miles of red
tape from, the decision-makers,
the situation Involved
here appears to be one' where
we taxpayers are directly af
fected by an administrative
board which seems bent on
having control over a piece
of geography, regardless of
cost or efficiency.'
Does it not seem patently
ridiculous that we should pay
taxes on our homes and prop
erty to pay for school buses
from Phoenix to come into
the very city limits of Med
ford to take children out to
the Phoenix school in the op
posite direction from the
closest available school? Then,
even though there is a school
in the area sufficient to han
dle the children involved, and
even though an attempt has
been made by most of the per-
sons Involved to have the
area included in the Medford
school district, the. Phoenix
school district has sought to
budget large sums of the tax
payers' money to acquire
property for a school which Is
not now needed by the people
who do not desire to come un
der the jurisdiction of that
school board.
Here, it seems, Is an excel
lent opportunity for the demo
cratic process to operate, Here
is an administrative board
which may take action which
has a direct and forceful bear
lna on the welfare of our chil
dren and on the taxes we pay
for property. The -administra
tive board is of local origin
and its budget is usually sub
ject to the vote of the people
concerned. We believe that all
those in the Phoenix school
district are affected as a re
sult of the board's actions,
and we all should take advan
tage of our political rights to
have a say in what decisions
are made. If we keep quiet
now we will have lost our
right to complain of high
property taxes and of ineffi
cient management of the
school system, i

majority party of the United
States. .- ;
Taft believed there was a
conservative-minded majority
of eligible voters. He believed
that this majority could be re
corded at the polls in favor
of Republican candidates- if
the Republican party had the
courage .to challenge Demo
cratic policies honestly in
stead of half-heartedly copy
ing those policies.
GOP Should Act .
On such basic Issues as gov
ernment spending and defi
cits, taxes, foreign relations,
centralization of government,
agriculture, and, . especially,
Big Labor, Taft believed that
Republicans should not act,
talk or think like Democrats.
The senator insisted that a
majority of the voters were
with him on that. He had one
chance to prove It. That was
in the 1950 Ohio senatorial
election. Taft's opponent was
a man of slight political sta
ture but with a great state
wide record as a vote-getter
in Ohio. Organized ' labor
ganged up on Taft and in be
half of his opponent. Taft was
happy to take them on. '
He carried all but four
counties In , the state. All of
the great industrial counties
went to Taft. It had been ar-
fued that organized labor de
feated its own purpose in that
campaign by too obvious a
display of. its muscle and
money. Could be, But Big La
bor is plenty obvious with its
muscle and money elsewhere,

feated, its Democratic candi

Low Farm Prices
Keep Costs Down
Washington - Thd Agricul

that low farm prices in re
cent years have helped keep
the. nation's cost of living
down. ; ,,
A new pamphlet, entitled
"Food Costs," showed that
since 1947 retail prices have

It also showed that if the
cost of marketing food had
not increased sharply, retail
food prices would have drop

Washington - (UPD - Congress

much would be done on Pres

Stevenson's Large Role .
United' Nations, N. Y. -
Viewed from both Washing
ton and the U. N., Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson is emerging
as a powerful figure in the
Kennedy administration.
This does not mean that the
President is not v making the
final decisions on policy. This
does not jnean that Secretary
of State Dean" Ruck is being
detoured ' as. Mr. Kennedy's
principal, adviser on foreign
affairs, t. -'iv ;''. ' ::'
It does mean that, on the
basis of hln experience, initia
tive, and political prestige at
home and abroad, Mr. Steven
son is exerting unusually wide
influence in the State Depart
ment and the White House.
Whatever coolness there
may have been. In the past,
Mr. Stevenson and Mr.- Ken
nedy are now'establishlng a
good - working relationship.
As a consequence -the Presi-
S. WHITE
speech in the metropolis of
mldwestern heartland Repub
licanism, Chicago, .
' Mr. Nixon, moreover, has
found himself under strong
pressure to involve himself in
the run-off campaign in Texas
for, the senate seat held by
Lyndon Johnson before his
elevation to the vice-presidency..-'
; ..'? -.,-; . .
Goldwater in the f jrst round
of that campaign went into
Texas with obvious -helpfulness
to the Republican -con
tender, John G. Tower. Tow
er might just c onceivably win
the run-off to become the first
Republican senator from Tex
as since the reconstruction era
that followed the.Civll War.-v
Indeed, influential ' Demo
crats sadly concede him some
chance if, 'as they, fear, the
advanced Democratic Liberals
in Texas, sulking at their pre
destined failure to nominate
one of their own kind, now
go off to support Tower 1 in
spitefulness toward his con
servative Democratic oppon
ent, William Blakely.
UT, IN any event, Goldwa-
" ter has already got good
mileage out of his support of
Tower in Texas. To him has
come the most valuable form
of credit that can, come to a
national politician. He has
shown that he has the capa
city to influence many voters
outside his own state.
Too, it is observable here
that Goldwater has been mak
ing . gains generally, quite
apart from his success In Tex
as. He is In unmatched de
mand as a college speaker.
His offices are crowded with
well-wishers. ' His autograph
is more sought than that of
any other senator, not exclud
ing the party leaders.
All this may not mean too
much; but ;.i undeniably It
means enough , to, -warn
Nixon to become more active.
For the public "image" of
ooiawater - in the - poltlcally
critical east - the image of a
widely right-wing politician -
is be'r softened into an im
pression more nearly accept-
-;jie io ine east, ,
" ; " .
fO BE sure, a Republican
convention Which nomin-
ated him in 1964 would have
to reverse a long tide. Since
Herbert Hoover in 1928 the
party has always chosen a
man less rather than more
conservative than the party's
common run. So much a switch
remains greatly imDrobable
It cannot be wholly discount
ed, nowever, for the simple
reason that Goldwater's per
sonal appeal Is demonstrably
rising.
However "wrong" he may
oe on issues - and this cor
respondent for one believes
him ImpractlcaUy and excess
ively conservative - heis in
creasingly and beyond doubt

The President Is aware of his
close election, wants to keep
the support of Adlal's follow
ers. In addition, Mr. Steven
son, through his wire travels,
has gotten to know personal
ly more : world leaders than
anyone in the Administration
including the President. This
is invaluable for his job as
Ambassador at the U, N. He
also brings his gift of articu
late speech to the U. N., per
haps the best forum for Mr.
Stevenson's talents.
AH of these things give Mr, (
Stevenson a voice in Cabinet
deliberations and a degree of
access and influence1 with the
President which is exception,

Everything hasn't always
gone well. Mr. Kennedy was
annoyed no little when Am-,
bassador publicly "guessed"
that the President would be
"glad" to see Premier Khrush
chev if he decided to come to
the U. N. this when the
President did not want to give
Mr. Khrushchev, any encour
agement to come. I am also
told that Mr. Stevenson deliv
ered two speeches, not before ,
the U. N., which had not been
cleared by theState Depart
ment. . But these things were In the
early period of the Adminis
tration's takeover and have
not recurred, Rusk and Stev
enson have worked together
smoothly thus far. . ,
TN HIS job at the U. N: Mr.
Stevenson is at many points
tdong things diferently than
did Ambnssador Henry Cabot
Lodge. He is Initiating break
fast, luncheon, and dinner ses

99 delegations, sometimes in
cluding wives. For the first
time Stevenson as U. S. repre
sentative let It be known that
he would be" available to meet
with the caucus of the Afro
Asian nations on. a common

There is one intriguing
thread of sameness-plus-difference
between the Governor
and his predecessor. As U. N.
Ambassador Mr. Lodge was,
to to a degree, seeking to
make his political reputation.
It is premature to guess
Mr. Stevenson's record will
look like when it takes fuller
shape. But at this point he is
proving a powerful advocate
of U. S. policy within the
U. N. and an influential
spokesman for his own views
within the Kennedy adminis
tration. ' , . . . -:
