APRIL IS. 1982 Kennedy and the Press The nation's newspaper and magazine read ers are suddenly being informed in great detail of a story which the Washington press corps had been keeping pretty well to itself. The story is that the Kennedy administration, from the Chief Executive to the prairie scouts of the New Frontier, is showing an energy in and a genius for public relations totally new to Washington. Almost simultaneously the magazines "U.S. News & World Report" and "The Reporter" ap peared on newstands in early April with articles on the President and the press that might well have been written by the same reporter. Sliehtlv earlier the March 31 issue of "The Saturday Evening Post" carried a lengthy per sonal interview with the President by Stewart Alsop which not only contained copious direct quotation but was publicized by a photograph of the reporter and the President made during their talk. And on April 8 a Sunday news magazine car ried a full "weekend-with" story on the President. M0NE of these events, if isolated, would be ' worthy of comment. Coming as they did in less than a fortnight and there were other, sim ilar stories thev looked is unclear is a motivation for inspiration President Kennedy's own flair for image building is certain to be demonstrated when he appears before the American Society of News paper Editors this week. This is an ideal forum. The conventions of the editors sometimes succeed in making news, too. Most notable, perhaps, was the supposedly off-the-record talk by Richard M. Nixon in April, 1954. in which the former Vice President sug gested that American troops might have to be sent to fight in Indo-China. This raised an out cry that seems strange at the moment, when the death of American soldiers in Viet Nam is dis cussed without great emotion in the President's very much on-the-record press conference. THE President has cultivated a friendship o lYirtn rr Vi i-i Xq oVi innrf rv rwaaa nni'no oniVi oc the nation's capital had i J .1 poners ana editors ana puonsners are irequent White House social as well as professional guests.

(The Peace Corps headed by Shriver, for example, is paper space.) And it seems to be spreading out through the ranks. "DACKGROUNDERS" sessions by cabinet always been standard operating procedure in Washington. The Kennedys and their assistants have not neglected the device. Indeed, they have taken it one steap further. Early on in the new administration the State De partment began inviting out-of-town newspaper, radio, and television news people for kaffee Matches at which a whole spectrum of top-draw er administration brass 1 his innovation was inger (it lie was not, benind the scenes, the in ventor) and others in high office, including, of all people, Labor Secretary Goldberg. finally, as has been pointed out elsewhere, television is an especial favorite of the Kennedy administration a "medium . . .

AN'VfoiOHTHAVE N0AWHEY.MXJ1DKT WSfcGlAOlPA HICE 61N SAVE In the Day's News By FRANK Traveling by rail from Kobe to Tokyo, one gets a good look at Japanese agriculture. The route follows the low lands where the rivers come down from the mountains and flow into the sea. Over the ages, their deltas have pro vided a considerable area of rich agricultural land. The intensity with which this land is worked is an eye-opener for Western Americans who are accustomed to farming on a big scale. In Japan agriculture is on a miniscule scale. It is hard for an American to think of it as agriculture. To American eyes, it looks more like back yard gardening. Here in Ja. pan, an average city lot in southern Oregon or far north ern California would look like QUITE a field, and a whole city block would be a good size farm. JAPANESE agriculture Is run on the village system. The Japanese farmers live in villages and go out to the "farms to work. The reason for that, of course, Is that by crowding the houses together In a village they take up much less ground space than if they were scattered out on each land holding. One might Jump to the con clusion that a lot of time is wasted by this system, but that conclusion would over look the size of the land hold ings. They are VERY small indeed, and it doesn't take long to get to them. JAPAN is a well-watered countrv. Manv rivers run down from the mountains to the sea. In their lower reaches they are well diked to guard against floods in the wet sea son. In the dry season, their waters are distributed out over the land by an intricate system of ditches. The main canals are usual ly lined to prevent water wastage. The laterals are nar row and numerous. Where row crops (usually vegetables) are grown, there is a carefully maintained lateral between each row. The rice paddles are flooded. The rice plants are carefully transplanted in rows, by hand. IN THE area between Kobe and Tokyo, quite a lot of tea is grown green tea. The rows are quite close to gether and look amazingly like carefully trimmed box hedges in our country. Mulberry trees are fairly numerous in this area. Their leaves serve as food for silk worms. The synthetic fibers are cutting the silk market, but Japan still produces a lot of silk. rpiIE workers? A As seen from the windows of a train, they appear to be chiefly women and children. The idea isn't to let the wom en do the work. In Japan. EVERYBODY works and even in the agricultural re gions there are industrial plants every few miles In the thickly settled country. The men work in the Industrial plants and on construction jobs and elsewhere where heavy labor is required and leave lhe farming lo the wom en and children. ll'HAT of the farming equip " ment? Chiefly, it consists of hand lools hoes, forks, spades, etc. Occasionally one sees a watrr buffalo pulling a crude plow. But not too frequently. Every now and then, one sees a little garden tractor at work, but not often. It isn't that the Japanese can't make tractors. They can make almost anything. It isn't that the Japanese farmers don't know how to USE trac tors. Its lust that THERE ISN'T ROOM IN THESE TINY FIELDS lo use machinery. MEDFORD MAIL Menace HIM A SODA? JENKINS A TRACTOR requires quite a lot of room to turn around in. A hoe or a spade needs no room at all. In Ja pan, agricultural land is so scarce that every inch of it must be used. No room can be spared for turning around space for farm machinery. So Japan's farming has to be done by hand. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harrtt (c General reaturei Corp. NAMES ARE ONLY SKIN DEEP A reader in Indiana has written to say, "Please do an article on the clods who al ways must ask 'What nation ality is that?' when hearing a name other than 'Smith,' or some other ordinary A m e r i can sounding name. "My Harm name is , he continues, "and I'm awful ly annoyed at the provincial ism (and it's that to the ex treme) of having that ques- tion popped at me by people who should know better. "I was born In this country, fought in World War II and emerged as an Army offi cer. I'm American, and noth ing but. Mine is the same name my father had when he came to this country from Sweden as a youngster at the turn of the century." a a There is a certain type of person - and, unfortunately, this type is widespread - who does not feel secure with a stranger until he can "place" him. Since America has no hereditary aristocracy, and is presumably a classless soci ety, these people are exces sively interested in the na tional origin and extraction of anyone whose name is not bluntly Anglo-Saxon. Millions of immigrants to this country changed their names for this reason, as well as for the convenience of spell ing and pronunciation. Many of them wanted to avoid dis criminatory attitudes against them. It is not widely known, for instance, that one of the great folk-heroes of our Revolution ary War, Paul Revere, was of French Huguenot descent. His father had changed his name from Revoirc, "merely on ac count that the Bumpkins should pronounce it easier." (Quoted in "World Book En cyclopedia," Volume IS, Page 24(1 ) Life has not been easy here for people of foroicn extrac tion. If they refused to change their difficult names, they were accused of being clan nish and sneered at for their peculair Old World ways; if they did Anglicize their names and adjust their ways, they were accused of trying to hide their foreign origin and pass for Americans. They were condemned for not changing, and condemned for changing. Democracy - In which each man is valued for his own individual contribution -makes many people uneasy. Psychologically, they need some rigid frame of reference for placing and grading peo ple; this is the only way in which they can feel superior to whole classes and groups. The obsession with national origin is really more "un American" in its spirit than the "un-Americans" it seeks to identify and denigrate. Indeed, if that somewhat pompous phrase "the Ameri- IS TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

Morrow's comment of 410 on the recent episode in the Democratic Central com mittee: "If the so-called re tired intellectuals that come to the valley would really re tire, it is possible that every thing would run more smooth ly." However, lest some others who have chosen our lovely valley as a good place for re tirement take the lady s crack too seriously, I should like to offer a brief rejoinder - in the hope, too, that It may serve to modify somewhat her present inhospitable attitude. One frequently hears resi dents of Rogue Valley Manor speak appreciatively of the friendliness of Medford folk. A warm welcome has been accorded us oldsters by all kinds of organizations. Not unwelcome has been our con siderable swelling of attend ance at church services, con certs, plays, and other activi ties - nor our contributions to their treasuries. Of course, the banks, stores and other business establish ments also have felt, and wel comed, the steadily increasing patronge of retirees, of whom there are many in the valley besides the 330 living on Manor hill. The political par ties have proved no exception. Indeed, they have been es pecially active in wooing us In my own case, I was wel corned with open arms by the Democrats and, on the eager initiative of party leaders, al most rushed into member ship on the central committee. For Miss Morrow's special benefit, I should like to make two other important points: (1) Retired folk do not re linquish their rights or obliga tions as citizens and voters upon becoming retirees. (2) All counselors to the aging stress the need for their con tinuing interest and participa tion in all kinds of activty, for their own health and for the community's good. Speaking in Medford on this very theme a few days ago, Dr. Frank Stange, clini cal psychologist for the state department of health, said Think of yourself as a mem ber of the community. Don't withdraw. Be with others for purposeful activity." That, too, has been the pur pose and plan of the far-sighted leaders of the community and state who sponsored the establishment of Rogue Val ley Manor. Most of us at the Manor are happy to take our part in community life and to know that the community, for its part, is glad to have us do so - notwithstanding a lone, doleful dissent such as Miss Morrow's. Arnold Eugene Jenny Rogue Valley Manor Medford More Responsive To the Editor: The proposed county home rule charter ap peals to me for many reasons. One, it will put county gov ernment on a more efficient, business-like basis and at the same time be more responsive to the will of the people. At present, we vote for eight elected officials in addi tion to the district attorney, i.e., three commissioners, a treasurer, sheriff, clerk, as sessor, and surveyor. With the exception of the commission ers, these offices require men with special training and skill. I don't believe In the heat of an election campaign we can be very good Judges of which candidate is qualified to fill a particular specialized job. I'd rather elect seven com petent citizens from around the county, let them draw up qualifications for these offices and, after careful interviews, let them pick the best quali fied person to fill the partic ular job. Because six of these seven commissioners will be elected on a part-time basis it will make it possible for thoughtful citizens from a 1 1 walks of life to serve the county who otherwise would not be able to take the time. Furthermore I like the idea that these appointive officials would be held accountable to our elected commissioners. Cities have long had such charters. It's time county citi zens had similar powers. The belter Job we can do with government at the local level, the less need to turn Jobs over can way" means anything. It means accepting and evalu ating individuals on the basis i of their own virtues and achievements, not on family status, background or national extraction. The real subver sives are those who judge by 1 names, not by deeds. Pensioners Br LYLE C. WILSON Unilad Press International Washington (UPB There was in President Kennedy's denunciation of the steel in dustry one special paragraph that need be changed only a little to mean some thing else again entire ly. The Presi dent's para graph began like this: "If this rise In the Wllinn COSl OI lieei I! imitated by the rest of the industry, instead of rescinded, it would increase the cost of homes, autos, appliances -" and so on. That was the beginning of a paragraph that firmly put on the steel industry respon sibility for Inviting more rot ting of the U.S. dollar by in flation. Now, to aim that paragraph in a different direction, read the opening this way: "If the politicians continue deficit treasury spending in stead of balancing the govern ment's budget, it would in crease the cost of homes, au tos, appliances and most other 5 a Foreign News Notes: Berlin, Asian Conference Discussed Br PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Notes from the Foreign News cables: Clay's Departure: Americans in Berlin look forward with foreboding to the next Russian squeeze on the divided eitv now that Clay is leav ing.

Observers , pect Russia to make allied mili tary withdrawal from West Berlin the first cordition for any settlement. The Soviets have been putting out feelers for the withdrawal of West ern forces from the city in their recent talks with West ern leaders in Geneva. If anything, they have be come more insistent. And the signs now are that they will Insist on complete neutraliza tion of Berlin as the price for any guarantee of free access to the city. This position has been rejected by the West in the past, and there is no indi cation it has changed its mind. Asian Conference! Look for Communist China to make a big push for an in ternational conference to di cuss the situation in aouth Viet Nam. There have been several indications already that the Peiping regime is thinking along these lines. Sources In Hong Kcng say the Chinese Reds could lay the groundwork for such a conference by convincing so called neutrals in Asia and Africa that the Viet Namese war could be ended by talks. These sources speculate that Peiping may want from such a conference a "neutralized South Viet Nam with no for eign forces there and some kind of ties to Communist North Vict Nam.

It will long endure to bedevil the responsible politics of this country. For they have hurt most of all the very three things to which they are most devoted: The concept of American free enterprise; the concept of po litical conservatism, and the Republican party. And they have immensely promoted these other things: The mind that seeks to regiment indus try and business; the extreme liberals generally, and the left-wing faction of the Demo cratic party. a THEY have made the way much easier for all those who have long wanted gov ernment regulation, in one way or another, over basic industries such as steel. They have emboldened every wild and irresponsible labor leader in the country. The Jimmy Hoffas and others of that ilk had sneered at the responsi ble labor leaders who - under long pressure from the Ken nedy administration - had agreed on a reasonable set tlement of wage demands with U.S. Steel. That reasonable restraint on the part of labor has now been repaid by steel with a price hike which, in spirit, breaks what everybody knew was a gentlemen's u n d erstanding. This unspoken understanding was that labor would go easy and big steel would go easy. What will the Hoffas and their kind now say to labor's rank-and- file? Quite simply. they will say: "Listen to our kind of leadership hereafter, and we will get you what you want.

The two-bit dollar is not here yet, but it is in sight. Nickel Call Disappears The nickel trolley rids and telephone call have vanished with Tom Marshall's good five-cent cigar. The dollar trolley token, subway or bus ride is something that could happen here. National defense can be no stronger than the U.S. econo my. The nation's economy can be no stronger than its unit of currency. If the econo my is tied to a sickly dollar, the national defense Is sup ported by a sickly economy. At that point it would not be surprising if Nikita Khru shchev could make good on his promse that he would bury us. The chain reaction among currency inflation - national economy - national defense seems to be reasonably obvi ous. It must not be obvious to the voters. If it were, the vot ers would fire the politicians who are spending the United States toward disaster. Tha voters would do that if the voters were smart. S. Whits steel and with Kennedy - and look at what they got." T ITERALLY nobody in poll " tics gains from big steel's action except the liberal ex tremists, to whom hostility to business is almost a spiritual creed. If big steel thinks the Republicans like its policy, let big steel privately ask any major Republican officehold er. If big steel wants the Re publicans to carry the con gressional elections in Novem ber, let big steel ask the Re publicans today how they see their chances in the wake of the price increase. This correspondent can tip big steel off, for a fact, that it is about as popular today In the Republican party as would be an outbreak of adult mea sles. Wherever one looks tha storm damage is apparent: The able Richard Nixon, run ning for governor of Califor nia as a responsible Republi can conservative, has been un deniably hard hit in a state which remembers the "public be damned" attitude of soma industry of a century ago. a SEN. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, for all his ultra conservatism, will surely ba no beneficiary. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, a third Republican presidential possibility for 1964, will flinch before this great gift to his party from the traditional Republicans of big steel. Where are the responsible conservatives - those who endlessly try to overcome lib eral extremism and fooiish doctrinaire attacks on busi ness - now to go? How much will the President himself -who has in simple fact tried to go along reasonably with business on the basic ques tions - bend now by neces sity toward the left-wing of his own party? Though the harm has been done, at least there is soma possibility of restricting that harm. The great community of American business in gen eral is in no way to blame for big steel's decision. But it would be wise to make that point very clear. Big steel has elected to stand alone; let it so stand, very plainly before the public gaze. Stop Me
