SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 1962 There Are The other day in this space the discrepancy between the punishment meted a private soldier who criticized a superior, and that meted to a major general who imputed treason to his com manders in chief, was noted. Justice, we suggested may be blind, but per haps not to rank. Since that time, President Kennedy has changed the situation.' the private s sentence six months at hard labor and called off the court martial sched uled for another enlisted man accused of a sim ilar "offense." CO THE score is evened up a bit. But we still believe there is a vast difference between an Army enlisted man's "griping," and the public statements of officers in which they appear to be speaking for the government of the United States, but give a totally erroneous impression of that policy. There is a vast difference between a private complaining about the reserve call-up, ana a ma jor general telling his troops how to vote. There is a vast difference between saying a President made a faulty judgment on a troop decision, and saying a President does not have at heart the best interests of his own nation. THE PRIVATE soldiers, Constitutional right of to petition their government for a redress of grievances. That is what their "offenses" amounted to, and the President was right in what he did. On the other hand, when a commanding gen eral, or even a public information major making a public speech, starts accusing government of ficials, or even mayors, of Communist leanings, that isn't freedom of speech. It is libel and slan der, and if performed while in uniform, it comes mighty close to subversion. We suggest that the offense of Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker was far more serious than that of Pfc. Bernie Owens for which he was sen tenced to hard labor. And we also suggest that the offense of Maj. Arch Roberts is far more serious than that of Pfc. Larry Chidester, for which he was to have been court niartialed. "Meanest Man Every once in a while pops up. A church poor one steals from a blind on crutches. For our money, the. "meanest man" story of the week was the one about the theft of money from a restaurant in town including a Lancer Fund cannister containing $40. A Cancer Society worker called us to point out that the $40 was a lot more than would be collected in a number of home solicitation visits, and thus representd the hours of dedicated workers time. T"HE day is getting closer when cancer will be conquered, and will no longer be the major threat to health and life which it is today. That day, however, has not yet arrived, and a lot of patient, painstaking work and money to support the work is going to be It is for that purpose that the Cancer Society solicits funds. It is one of several sources of money for research into the causes and cures of cancer, but it is a substantial and important one. The theft of the $40, therefore, represents a callous disregard for the generosity of many people, and for the cause which each has ample reason to support. E.A. Hope for The capture of Raoul Salan, the one-time French general who was a decorated national hero but who later turned traitor to his own na tion, should do much to put an end to the bitter Algerian conflict. Other former French Army officers have been involved with Salan in the vicious and horrible activities of the Secret Army Organization, but he was the leader, the core and heart of the move ment. Without him, it is to be hoped, the OAS re- SlStailce Will COme to an eilCl, and a beginning; Can be made 011 the peaceful conversion Of Al - geria from a rebellious province of France into a 11CW and independent nation. THE achievement of an agreement to end the war between the French and the Algerian rebels was a near-miracle of negotiation and compromise. Ihe most surprising remarkable restraint of the Moslems since the agreement was signed and the French-Algerian hostilities were ended. Under the utmost provo cation by the terrorists and assassins of the OAS, the Moslems officials and residents alike re frained from vengeful actions except in one or two isolated cases. This alone bodes well for the new nation. It was conceived in the chaos of w ar, nurtured in a ghastly civil conflict, and finally was born in the midst of fratricidal strife. Perhaps, at long last, peace will be permitted to return to Algeria. One devoutly hones so. -E.A.

The chief Canton news paper pub Alanp lishes a mysterious letter sug gesting that it is misguided to pay too much attention to the opinions and commands of Canton's First Party Sec retary, who was both sacro sanct and omnipotent until just the other day. The Peking Peoples' Daily publishes a less specific but far more om inous editorial, mentioning party members who may have done great things in the past, but have now committed grievous errors and there fore stand in need of stern correction. Six of the 18 vice premiers of China are mys teriously missing from the National People's Congress. Such is the nature of the indicators. As always in such cases, the advance signs may be misleading. Or the purge if there is one, may stop at big frogs in relatively small puddles, like the Canton par ty secretary. Or instead of shooting the purgecs in the back of the neck - the fate of most of Stalin's victims -Mao may content himself with sending the fainthearts, the doubters, and the outright opponents to "labor reform" - a slower sentence of death in China nowadays, but one that looks better in the news papers. AT ANY of a co ANY rate, the indicators oming purge of some sort make a pattern with an other process that has been noticeable in China for at least a year. Extraordinary ef forts are being made to in sure the loyalty and dependa bility of the army, by all sorts of measures to enhance the authority and prestige of the parly's political commis sars within the officer corps. This is all the more re markable, because the com misars' authority was already enormous. It should hardly be needful, since the army has been effectively commanded for nearly three years by the former secret police chief, , Gen- Lo Jui-ching. Such unusual concern about the army must mean that the Peking leadership is now getting ready to go through a very rough patch indeed, when the army's loyalty m;iy be severely tested. The sinus of an oni'iimiiifi puruc if thcy are not misleading, point in just the same direction.

All 'Aid lo Agriculture." was pro- Menace is m one of those utile cams;' By Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate claimed, the last harvest brought no relief. As already conlended In this space, the facts therefore suggest that China is now in the grip of a remorselessly descending spiral. The most obvious was the spiral can be broken - massive, immediate Russian aid - can be ruled out with confidence. A NOTHER way the spiral can be broken is for real ly enormous numbers of Chi nese to die. The numbers would have to be enormous - say a quarter of the Chinese population or about 150,000, 000 people. Much less would not adequately adjust the troublesome land - to - popu lation balance. There is some evidence that a reversal of the former upward trend of Chinese pop ulation has already occurred. Refugee testimony is full of mentions of hunger - induced menstural difficulties among women, sharp drops in vil lage populations, and the like. But what has happened so far is a trickle, at best, compared to the flood of mortality that has to be expected eventual ly, if the present organized undernourishment of the Chi nese masses is much further prolonged. Meanwhile, the Peking lead ership, ruthless and unflich ing, is proclaiming its deter mination to forge ahead under "the three Red banners, the general line, the great leap, and the farm communies." Even if this year produces a good harvest, which is unlike ly, forging ahead "under the three Red banners" means a rough patch ahead for Chi na such as no nation in re cent history has experienced, In these circumstances, the question arises whether too many can die, even in an iron police state, ft is well to note, in fact, that the -third and only remaining way Chi na's descending spiral can be broken is by an internal ex plosion. Such an explosion would not necessarily pro duce a non - Communist Chi na. But even If it only pro duced new leaders taking a wholly new direction, the ex plosions would he heard around the world.

STEEL CRISIS LESSONS Washington - The nation can't afford to have the Pres ident "go to war" every time he feels a decision by Big Business or Big Labor im pairs the national interest. Once perhaps twice a President can pull levers of government at once, sound the sirens, and call "Fire!" in or der to deal with an emergen cy. But as a steady diet, this won't work. It is too indis criminate, too disorderly to hair-raising. At this stage nobody has all the answers, or even one sure, all purpose answer, to how labor's interest, indus try's interest, and the public interest (government and con sumer) can be properly safe guarded at the collective bar gaining table. It is possible to look at some of the unan swered questions growing out of the steel crisis in which Mr. Kennedy turned back price increases with a lash of Pres idential power. UNDOUBTEDLY President Kennedy and Secretary of Labor Goldberg exerted a re straining influence on the steelworkcrs' union, and management got a moderate contract which did not in it self justify a steel price in crease. This time it was in dustry which jumped the traces and in doing so ran headlong into the stone wall of the White House. Other major wage contracts with large unions must soon be negotiated. Aluminum and aircraft.s are next. What if the union demands an infla tionary wage-raise? What if the union is unresponsive to White House "guidelines and refuses to go along with what the President deems the national intrest? Does Mr Kennedy have the means to bring to bear upon labor the same weight he brought to bear on steel? Does Mr. Ken nedy have the disposition to talk as tough to a possibly re calcitrant labor union as he did to the steel industry? Right now we don't know. The time will probably not be long delayed when we will find out. WHAT rise? alternative to price se?

Distributed by King Features SyndlMts Probes Inflation vs. Deflation inflation, the other maintain ing the direction will be to ward deflation. This reporter admits at once to complete uncertainty. I took formal leave of advanced economic theory in graduate school with Chamberlain's Theory of Monopolistic Com petition, and that was a long time ago; in any case, eco nomics remains one of the most unscientific as well as one of ihe most ' dismal" of the sciences. But if fundamen tal predictions are perilous, it remains true that certain fundamental historical forces have been, and are. at work, and can he seen. They seem to be opposing forces, and which set of forces will dom inate over tne next years is the whole question before us. Those who have arcucd the inevitability of continued in flation for tliis century have said that our belief in the pos sibility of a return to the "sound dollar" was bacd on the illusory experience of the 19th century, the only period in 500 years during which prices settled downward over a long stretch. This school of ; thought has argued that gen- oral inflation in the Western world is permanent for these only means that the more eas ' reasons, among others: the ily employable get hired first, shift of virtually all demo- but there may be long run crane Kovcrnmrnts towards implications the political left: the move mem away from the gold standard, the crowing power of labor unions; Ihe great growth of social srr ices, the , almost universal and perhaps new capital investment to modernize plants and equip ment. This in itself is essen tial to economic growth and high employment. Since the government "per suaded" steel to rescind the price increase, what does the government intend to do to help provide enough capital investment which is so vital to the President's own plans for stimulating economic growth? It can't afford to close off one large source of ! investment funital withnut providing another. To this end the administra tion has proposed a modest tax incentive program It is having a hard time in Con gress were some liberal Demo crats oppose it as too generous to business, and others oppose it as woefully inadequate. Governor Rockefeller is now adding his voice to those who feel the proposed tax credits for plant moderniza tion and expansion are not equal to the need. His view is that instead of propping up non-competitive industries, as Mr. Kennedy is proposing un der his new trade program, the government ought to use tax incentives to enable suc cessful industry to compete more effectively in the world markets. "It is most unfortunate," Gov. Rockefeller told the De troit Economic club this week, "that, having articulated the proper objectives, the Kenne dy administration could not present a plan which would be adequate to do the job . . . and which businessmen could enthusiastically sup port." NOW that the President has won the steel price bat tle, shouldn't the administra tion take another look at its tax incentive program to see if Mr. Rockefeller may not be right? Mr. Kennedy has taken two steps to mellow the post steel crisis atmosphere. He invit,ed the head of U.S. Steel to the White House for a "cordial" talk. At his press conference he underlined that government and business can not afford to remain at odds. Goodwill is best promoted by deeds. A review of the administration's tax incentive program, in light of the need for expanding capital invest ment, might be a good deed. irreversible subsidization of agriculture; the relative ex pansion of the middle classes with their sharper awareness of education and the good things of life; the constant state of war in terms of de fense expenditures; the shift from the welfare state to the "welfare world" as interna tional aid programs become a fixed pattern of world pol itics, and the general rise in population with its pressures on the supply of goods and space. For this country, at least, ) it is harder to isolate the op- posing, deflationary forces, be cause so many of them are relatively new phenomena and we have not yet taken the measure of their practi cal effects. One seems to be recent growth, not just of the unemployed, but of the un employable. Perhaps the im portant fact, the sleeper, in the March figures issued by the Labor Department, is not that unemployment was down by a million compared with last year but that more of those who remain uncmploy ed have been in that unhappy condition for six months or more. For the short run this It wouid seem to this lay. man that the key to the fu ture in terms of inflaiion or deflation may lie in the net effect of the rapid spread of automation and the rapid POTLUCEC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) This is, to coin a phrase, quite s week end.

Mark Savage, age 10. 1 a student in Mrs. Alma Austin's fourth grade class at Griffin Creek school. Re cently he was inspired to wrile a poem entitled "Oh, Oregon, My Country." And here it is: Oh, Oregon is beautiful, Oh, Oregon is free. You would like Oregon Just like me. Oregon with its flowers, Oregon with its trees, You would like Oregon Just like me. Polluck reader No. 2 (or No. 6, as the case may be) sent us a clipping from lha Mail Tribune. It went like this: The two-button suit for males is gaining many ad herents. Many of these suits are straight and slim with square shoulders, broader chest, and And that was all. Our reader friend com mented, "They are available with a pair of pants, too. (I HOPE!)" We hope so too. Which re minds us of the fact that there will be a nudist convention in Jackson county this sum mer, which caused one of the office wits to remark that there will be a lot of people wearing one-button suits this summer. Speaking of typographi cal orors (as we sometimes are forced to do), a letter in today's Communications column points out that her copy of last Monday's paper had an April 22, 1962 date on it. She's right-it did say that on hers, even if it didn't on yours. It happened this way: The datelines which go on the namoplafe on Page 1 are set. for a full week all at the same time. So when the print er picked up a line for last Monday's paper, he merely picked up the wrong one and dropped it in. It was discovered shortly after the paper came off the growth of the population. It is a sufficiently s t a g g e r ing thought that our population is likely to bound upwards by 35 million in this decade of the '60s. The total effect of population "explosion" is supposed to be inflationary. But consider the age and ra cial pattern of this explosion. America has passed a water shed - for the first time in our history the number of months to be fed is increasing faster than the working hands to feed them. The greatest population growth is among jthe very young and the very old; the number of new work ers applying to the job mar ; ket will triple in the '60s over the '50s. Furthermore, the Negro population "last to be hired, first to be fired," if prenidicc persists in creases at a far faster rate than the white population. In this technological age. we can go badly out of joint if the supply of the unskilled in creases faster than that of the skilled If some master of the be wildering new set of econom ic, demographic and techno logical factors will now ap pear amongst us to synthesize all t!us in terms of a defla tionary or inflationary future, this writer will stand in line alone wiib all other Oliver Twists of lournallsm, empty cup in grateful hand (Distributed 1962. by The Hall Syndicate.

This happens with other mistakes, too, sometimes, If you find a paper with a mis take in it, and a friend has a copy which lacks the error, you'll know that's what hap. pened. There are other changes be tween the two editions, too, and sometimes your paper will have a story that tha earlier edition didn't have, and vice versa. This it frustrating to such friends as That Man In Phoenix, who sends in mis takes. We just clip the cor. reeled version and mail il back to him.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Reading the headlines thi m days, one could easily jump to the conclusion that the world is going to hell in a hand-basket and there doesn't seem to be much that any of us can do about it. Do you reckon that could be true? I doubt it. If we get that impression, it is prob- aoiy oecause we are reading tne wrong kind of news. Bad news, as every well-balanced editor knows, gets the biggest headlines - and we tend to read the big headlines first. II you look for it in the right places - which are often on the inside pages - there is really a LOT of good news in these modern days. TOR example: Dr. David J. Sayles, a San Diego radiologist, tells the an. nual meeting of the California Medical Association nf , X-ray diagnosis for hreat cancer. It can detect many tiny tumors, he told his hear ers - tumors often no bigger than a BB shot - tumors that would escape detection by any method hitherto known. This can mean, he explain ed, earlier detection, earlier surgery and a lowered death rate. Breast cancer, he added, is the worst killer among tumors in women today. AND- At An assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the Uni versity of California at Los Angeles describes how intri cate operations on the swol len, deformed hands nt rheu matoid arthritis victims havs given their lives new strength and dignity. The surgical program h described "offers no mira cles," he said, but does con fer vast benefits on those who are willing to work intensive ly to conquer their own crip pling disabilities. He told ot one patient whose hands, ONCE COMPLETELY STIFF AND USELESS, can now be used to feed himself. A similarly deformed young woman can now play the piano. Another victim of rheumatoid arthritis, former ly crippled in all his limbs, can now maneuver an elec tric wheel chair. A young in surance salesman can now shake hands with his clients -for him a major achieve ment. rPHESE operations, he ex- plained, are relatively sim ple for skilled surgeons, who straighten tendons, remove the swollen tissue that lines the joints nf knuckles, and even build NEW joints. Dr. Marmour (the assistant pro fessor at UCLA who described these methods to the assem bled practicinc physicians) says he has operated on pa tients as young as 20 and as old as 68. He concluded "We can give those patients a tremendous lift They can i sa' ,0 us: 'Look whal I can , d now:' Surgery like tins 1 can change the lives of pa- tients wno roily want to get well.' I) EADING the grim head- iv lines that tell of a world seemingly bent on its- own destruction, we get a distorted view of what is going on. We come to think nf it. perhaps, as a world that is pavine the way to its own destruction It micht pay us to turn over oftrnrr to the insids pages and pav a little more attention to the bnchirr and more hopeful news that ;s so often tn be found thnp Il ISN'T mch a bad world, after all.
