APRIL 29, 1861 Diminishing Privacy To compare the case of the discharged Uni versity of Oregon student counsellor, who refused to use the personality rating questionnaires pro vided her for use in her counseling duties, with the Big Brother activities so graphically de scribed in "1984," may be a little far-fetched. But not too much. ' ," Where does one draw the line between the right of privacy, and the ing efforts of schools and to be "helpful" The incident of the outspoken girl counsellor indicates that the line is being pushed away from privacy and toward helplur nosiness. ., ; NE of the more chilling news stories of re' v cent days quoted a ing the expanding role ter. Already, they are in statistics about our population such necessary things as birth dates, and so on From this it is only a other types of personal information perhaps "personal evaluations" . of a type made by the University's housemothers and student counsel lors, And from this it is, again, only another step to include information similar to that in tfie "raw files' of the FBI unevaluated statements con cerning people and their loyalty, made by no one knows who, and 'motivated by no one knows what. THE scientist being quoted said it is not out- day, if the present trend continues, when such automated files of personal information will in clude all the details of his life, his early mistakes, his political leanings, his public and private views, the words of his i Privacy would then be gone. And, perhaps even worse, here is a ready-made tool for a gov ernment which could, perhaps unnoticed, drift from "paternalism" to This is, in fact, the greatest hazard of the wel fare state, which was born from.the sincere con viction that government the well-being of its citizens. T"HE trend can be seen, arid in each instance ' " it has originated in a spirit of helpfulness. Criminals, who have privacy, have probing analyses (including pre sentence and parole and probation reports) filed about them. So do inmates of hospitals, mental and other wise. " So do public assistance beneficiaries infor- mation designed to make helped. , ;- And there are' students' grade 'transcripts. And employment records. Ana so on and oil. All of these are valid and legitimate. But where, we ask again, does the right to privacy begin and where AMONG the most interesting responses to the teapot-tempest aroused by the University freshman girls' counsellor tfame from two stu dents at the University who came here from to talitarian countries. ' , In a letter to the Emerald, the student daily newspaper, they said in . "Having lived the major part of our lives in totali tarian regimes, we are tickled to take note of the Os burn (the counselor) affair. The system of 'Personal Record Reports,' as they choose to call it at the U. of . O., reminds us of a similar method widely practiced in the Soviet and the satellites, where the lucid term 'Cadre file' was created ior It. It appears the inciden tal fact that the Personal Record Report Is used on a smaller scale, does not In any way make It less ob jectionable than the cadre system ... , "One could hardly end this letter without expressing -admiration for the young lady's courage and her re fusal to be essentially a paid informer, an attitude ap parently not shared by her fellow counselors. , "George Handlery "Andrew Bartanyl." MISS OSBURN, of course, was not a "paid in former." She was employed to be of assist ance to freshmen women in the dormitory where she was assigned. Arid the record reports were designed to be of help both to her in performing her job, and to the students she was attempting to assist. : But the fact remains fidential or not, well-meaning or not, intelligently used or not. are part of the trend toward an in vasion of the privacy of Americans.

Communists' Gas War To the Editor: While agree ing in principle with senti ments expressed Wednesday by Mr. Robert J. Howard feel he Is asleep to the real Communist menace. The pres ent gasoline price war is good example of how 1 they really plan to take America For several months Russia has dumped gas and oil on world markets. This has dried up American foreign markets and caused a surplus which the oil companies unload through "price wars." While It may end locally soon, look for It to start as soon as the legislatures in Washington and Oregon adjourn, They have to get rid of surplus stocks. Russia can do this with any commodity she chooses, in cluding gold bars. This is her plan. i Parker Bailey, 842V4 'A' st., Ashland, Ore. Doing as' Pilate To the Editor: One of your Ashland readers, I note, feels that it isn't just liquor that is responsible for the untidy area around the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl. I agree with her. In fact space prohibited my writing all I would have liked. Many Americans seem to have lost their regard for the rights of others. This fact is evident in many different ways. Yet If your readers could have seen the sharp contrast between the Ski Bowl before liquor came and after, they might have better appreciated what I wrote. I have as yet to wit ness a dairy bar surrounded by what I saw at Mt. Shasta. At least I can feel safe to take my children to a place where dairy products are served, even If there are some paper containers thrown around. - If any one doubts there is a difference in the two places, then watch the customers as they emerge. Do you see bloated-faced, staggering indi viduals careening down our highways as a result of drink ing milkshakes? Does the one who peace fully eats a ice cream cone go home and beat his wife and children? Some persons are aroused over a wrecking yard coming into the Talent area. We have far worse wrecking yards al ready in business in our area. Human wrecking yards, if you please. Any place that dispenses a product that breeds all the misery and woe, as liquor does, is a wrecking yard and the ultra-modern grocery palaces that deal in the same products by no means are clear in this mat ter. A peculiar form of reason ing is used by some. It goes like this: "They'll get the stuff any way, so I might as well have some of the profits," Really now, does that clear any of us in something we feel is wrong? Too many, I fear, do as Pilate, who washed his hands thinking he was thus cleared of our Lord's blood. Does fol lowing a wrong course be cause others are doing it make it right? Many, .! fear, are selling out their souls mighty cheap. -. ' Yes public education . Is good, but what is really need ed is a change In sinful men's hearts. This can : only be brought about by a surrender of one's entire being to the one who gave His life for us on the cross. Henry Johnson Jr., ; 2315 Highway 66, Ashland,' Ore. Junk Problems To the Editor: If the people of Talent will take a short drive around Shady ove, MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON bear the name and address of necessarily represent the views of the paperi in fact the . they won't walk, they will dash ' to the nearest place where they can be heard, and do everything In their power to keep any kind of junk yard from their midst. I do not think there is street in Shady Cove that does not have its share of torn down cars, ' logging equip ment, running dogs, and just plain untidy folks who think nothing of heaving beer bot tles, cans or what have you any place they may be facing when the last drop is down. Believe me, it does tear down your property. One has a hard .time selling, if they do not wish to live in a city dump. - : Once a dump starts; it grows like cancer and no cure in sight. Just thank God that you do have weapons to fight the thing now. We don't have out here. It seems anything goes. Please do not print my name as I do not want to be dumped In a junk pile. (Name on File), Shady Cove, Ore. Thank You, Sirl , To the Editor: Before leav ing this community I want to express a word of apprecia tion of its newspaper. Read ers may think I am prejudiced because you have published my unprivate diary about bird watching, but I held many of these ' opinions even before that time. Over the years I have ob served that the character of a town's newspaper has a con siderable influence on it. Al though I agree with the views of the editor more than' many people do, I think all can see that it means much to a city to have an editor who prints many views in his news col umns and communications, but states his own editorially wun lorce and courage. i am sorry you lost the battle to keep the freeway from cutting through the heart of Medford. I hope you win future batUes against air and water pollution. I won't go into politics except to say that your well-informed opinions are always worth considering. I enjoy your serious editorials on science and on trends in our modern society. I also want to add my word of appreciation of the church editor, Peggyann Hutchinson. whose church page is second to none, and the society edi tor, Olive Starcher, whose work, happily, is not limited to "society" in any narrow sense. Thanks, too. for your sireat Insight in realizing that little birds in the trees actually have an Interest for the com mon reader. Thomas McCamant, 300 Oakwood dr., Medford An Outsider's Comments To the Editor: Just a few words from an outsider on the transfer of 97 students' from the Phoenix school district to the Medford district. What would the people of Phoenix say and do if the Medford school district ex tended Into the Phoenix city limits (as -this district does into the Medford city limits)? I believe that these citizens. If they had children in this kind of a district, would want their children to go to Phoe nix instead of hauling them several miles to Medford. Also Mrs. Henriksen and Mrs. Sommers say to lose these children from their district would ' put an extra tax burden on their, district. Would not building a new school (which would not be needed if these children went to Medford) at the edge of the Medford city limits also increase their taxes? Another thing, why did the Phoenix district allow tata, Soviets, Czechoslovakia Shipping Many Supplies To Cuba In Wake of Invasion By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Whether Nikita Khrushchev would launch World War III to protect Fidel Castro, his Cuban puppet. must for the mom ent re main a mat ter of conjec ture. But as the United States reassesses 'its position as a result of the failure of the Cuban invasion, reports from Havana and behind the Iron Curtain leave no doubt about the importance the Commu nist leadership attaches to its Cuban beachhead. - Scarcely had the invasion attempt collapsed before Com munist ships began arriving at Havana docks.

He's Proud To the Editor: After read ing last Sunday's Mall Tri bune, and the front page story informing us that President Jack Kennedy had called in his predecessor and briefed him on the Cuban situation, I felt very proud that I was a Democrat. How many Republi can Presidents would have done the same? I believe that is the greatest proof of a man's intelligence. He does not claim to know it all.

Something Beneficial To the Editor: Elchmann, the archmurderer of all time, and all of those he was as sociated with, Austrlans, Po- landers, Czechoslovaklans and others, and all who helped,! Germans in this terrible ca- sastrophe ought to be pun ished to the fullest extent of the law. Yes, the Germans had a hand in It too, and if so, I'm most ashamed of being of German descent. I am advised that 6 million Jews were slaughtered like catUe. I hate to think this to be true but I have heard it from different sources, and I'm sorry I'll have to believe it, though I'm not a Jew, only insofar as their principles of humanity might be right. I don't know too much about the Jews, but I'm under the impression that they are wrong in their foolish ideas that they might practice in the way of religion. But then that is nothing new for me as I don't believe in any re ligion, or a God either, as all our wars and all troubles have had their origin in re ligion. In fact, just turn to your Bible and read the atroc ities that have been commlt Ud ia Uta Urxlble dayt in t$t It was - obvious that the shipments had started on their way before the invasion be gan but they were substantial Washington Report By William S. White (e) United Feature bynaicate THE "HARD-NQSES"' Washington - (U?D - John F. Kennedy is now feeling for the first time the fuU chill loneliness o f that terrible and unshar- able ultimate r esponsibility which lies upon him President. He is by no means isolated from advisers, . white but the truly intimate circle is narrowing in the afterlight of the Cuban tragedy. Setback and sorrow (sorrow for the anti-Castro Cu ban patriots who died in the lost Cuban invasion is frankly shown by the President) have made Mr. Kennedy deeply aware that in the last hour of every crisis he Is a man alone. At the. end, decisions of fateful consequences are his alone. All this he - well! knew, academically, of course, be fore he took office. But a newly, trained soldier may know in his mind that a com ing action will be bloody without truly apprehending it in his whole being until he actually goes through that ac tion. It is much this way 'with the President. TTE had long known in his M-mlnd that all life was a series of struggles, indeed. But a special awareness of the mortal nature of those strug gles has now come upon him - not from theory but from experience. So he is doing now what is natural to a man whose life -as a Naval officer during the war and as a politician - has been based more upon action than words. He is not shutting out those advisers who are only "Idea men." But he is turning more and .more to those who are first of all men of proved competence and toughness in action - to those who in public affairs are com bat types rather than staff office types. , Two men, therefore, are now' the men closest to the President. One Is his brother. Attorney General Robert Ken nedy. The other is Vice Presi dent Lyndon Johnson Both were intimately involved in the President's own greatest personal crisis before now. Bob Kennedy as an indispens able ally in the fight for the presidential nomination, and Lyndon Johnson as a powerful opponent. , rPHE President knows from experience their determi nation, their fighting morale and that neither, whatever his faults, is in the least way afflicted by mushiness. He also knows their loyalty Bob Kennedy's unquestion ing brotherly loyalty; John son's more impersonal loyalty to an administration of which he is an elected part. To talk to the President is to see a man much alerted in recent weeks. He is still calm wars that they have had and with the approval of that Kind and i loving Father, creator of everything, all pow erful. Well, it's all been said and done. It's been too bad, not only too bad but too terrible. Let's forget it, but let's us remember that we always have the privilege, as human ity, to do better than our past disagreeable history has taught us. Let us divert our attention to learning some thing useful and beneficial to mankind instead of trying the best we can to destroy one another as instruments of war. Just forget it. In doing this you must for get God and religion first, then you must forget the idea of exploiting your fellow man for profit. This is our second largest field to work in. The third largest field is slavery, mental slavery. Keep your mind working on something that will help the human race, here and now, don't waste your time on religion and where pie is promised in the sky by and by. Science is a good thing to study and the ology is of less importance. Birth control is a mighty im portant thing to practice, and can do a wonderful lot of good. There are other great fields to work in that will bring forth an abundance of results. Now for example, if there had been more stringent birth control there should have been less people to be murdered. Well, call me a "Crackpot" If you want to, but don't call me a dumb-head. J. P.

READERS BECOME LEADERS In line with this column's policy of calling attention to the good advertisements, rath er than attack ing the many bad ones, I want to com mend a recent full - page magazine . a d by Inter na tional Paper company. "Send Me a Man Who Reads!" said the headline of the ad. The subhead said: "If your boy reads a lot, don't worry about his becoming a bookworm. New research by International Paper shows that top scholars are also like ly to be athletes and leaders." - The body of the ad goes on to say that, in an Interview with 100 high school seniors who had Just been awarded national academic scholar ships, nine out of ten read at least one book a month in the preceding year. The total number of books read by these boys was 400. Then, in an interview with and laconic. But no casual gaiety Is in evidence now. He wastes no angry recrimina tions against anybody within his government for the Cuban failure. He Is fully prepared to take, and even to insist upon, the final responsibility which he knows Is his any how. - The forthcoming view , of our 1 n telllgence operations and . our capacity ; to. . fight guerrilla actions was not or dered as a mournful autopsy over the past. It was ordered solely to find out what we need for the future. The President Is wryly amused at the self-serving leaks which have been going on around here to suggest that one fellow was right and another to blame. He is not hunting heads to chop off. All the same, this correspondent's firm impression is that the President's basic reaction to Cuba recalls what old Fleet Admiral "Ernie" King said when he was called to Navy command after Pearl Harbor: "When they get into trouble they send for the so-and-so's." 1 HPHE term "so-and-so's" is not meant to suggest bad or conscienceless men. Rather it describes the unterrified "hard-noses," the men who, once committed to a thing, will carry it through to the. end. Finally, some predictions are made on this columnist's own responsibility alone: The Central Intelligence Agency within months will see the retirement as director of Allen W. Dulles, a holdover who had not intended to serve permanently. Its new head will be a "hard-nose," pos sibly even Robert Kennedy himself and possibly another, such as Navy Secretary John Connelly. Connally, an. old "Johns"n man," fought Bob Kennedy at the Democratic convention with the same coolly furious skill with which Bob Kennedy fought him. ; Harris Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A MATRON WAS TOOTLING ALONG at a merry clip in her new convertible in the left lane of a parkway when, without warning, she suddenly made a sharp right turn and collided with another car. "Blank, Wank, blank!" roared the other driver. "Why tho blank, blank didn't you signal?" "Don't be absurd," countered the equally outraged matron loftily, "I always turn here." .

A new trade deal will triple last -year's volume between Czechoslovakia and Cuba and bluntly was declared designed to "help eliminate the conse quences of the economio blockade , with which the -United States government at tempted to crush the revolu tionary movement." Thus Czechoslovakia, whose arms deal with Cario flvo years ago led the Communist way into the Middle East, ap parently now has been select ed as a spearhead of the Com. munist drive Into Latin Amer ica. - 100 high school seniors who had been accepted for college but had NOT been awarded any type of scholarship, It was found that only six out of ten read at least one book. The total number read by these boys was only 175. - ' ' . ' , " Men who read more, the ad pointed out, are almost twice as likely to be school leaders. Of 100 scholarship winners, 67 were officers or committee heads of at least one service, social or athletic organiza tion, compared with 39 of tho nonscholarship students. It is one of the great anti intellectual clinches of mo dern American society that the reader is a "bookworm" - a narrow-chested, bespectacled, introverted dreamer, lacking in physical graces and social charm. Every survey taken has shown this to be an ut terly false impression. :i Children with higher IQs tend to be larger, healthier and more outgoing than their less endowed playmates. Stu dents who rank high academ ically tend also to be active in sports, social organizations, and service clubs; except for the occasional eccentric gen ius, who has his own value and should be given respect for his unusual powers. ' , It is well past time tfiat the business community stimulate the desire for scholarship and make full use of the brains we have. Too often it has publicly sneered at the academic vir tues while privately benefit ting from all the tools and techniques of academic re search and investigation. ' Of course, International Paper wants to sell a lot of paper, and a lot of paper goes into books. Its Interest in reading is commercial, but there is nothing wrong with a commercial interest when it coincides with a legitimate na tional goal. The two should bo harnessed together more often. , The end of business is profit, but far-sighted busi nesses know that "profit" is a long-term concept; and that we cannot prosper as a nation unless we reward brains and learning with the money and prestige that today we too of ten give to mere cunning and cupidity.
