Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although undei
certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible.
The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and
condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters
printed in this columji do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the
contrary is often the case.
Senator's Views
To the Editor: In the belief
that a great portion of the
criticisms directed against
Senator Wayne Morse and his
efforts to obtain more Oregon
areas to be preserved in the
Wilderness Bill are unjusti
fied, I wrote the Senator ex
pressing my personal disap
proval of the unjust attacks
on his senatorial promotions.
The following letter not only
answers his critics but gives a
resume of just what he is do
ing in Washington-not only
for our coming recreation
areas, but for the lumber in
dustry. (Mrs.) Gertrude Stanley,
Route 1, Box 669,
Eagle Point, Ore.
-O-
Dear Mrs. Stanley: It was
a great pleasure to hear from
you and to know that you en
joy reading my newsletter.
'in one of my reports last
year, I included a map of
Oregon showing the locations
of areas that would be pre
served in their present state
under the Wilderness Bill. A
copy of it is enclosed. As I
stated in my newsletter, these
are all presently wilderness
areas, having been designated
as such by executive agencies.
No cutting of timber on them
has been allowed at all, so the
Wilderness Bill would not
change this in any way. It
would simply provide some
legislative standards for their
administration, whereas in the
past there have been none.
I might add that recently
I was able to obtain from the
Justice Department a change
in an administrative practice
which will open to lumber op
erations a lot more federally
owned timber than is involved
in the Wilderness Bill. En
closed are the pages from the
Congressional Record in which
I describe this action on the
Senate floor.
Wayne Morse,
U.S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.
Name Names
To the Editor and the peo
ple more interested in liberty
and freedom:
You will note the continu
ous Red conspiracy line, such of 413: "Mr. Jenny denies
as paranoids, mental health, 1 that such words ('stupid and
brotherly love, nut houses for i ignorant') passed his hps
angels singing. "Glory to God
in the highest." The gospel is
still good news to men in
every land around the world,
and on earth peace in the
hearts of men of good will.

Americans that won t agree
with the conspirators.
Americans according to
these supposed to-be-educated
morons, are called bigots,
Nazis. American patriots are
supposed to be screwballs,
and what not. But try to in
form the people about the con
spirators in the controlled
and censored newspaper, and
the warnings go in the waste
basket. Would like all the
Birchers to publish in the
newspapers who the conspira
tors are by name and all de
tails about how they operate
on the public in general. It
will be very interesting for
us kids, to know how the
conspirators figure on the
white races of Russia and
America murdering each oth
er, so these mental health,
brotherly love nuts can con
trol white slaves of the fu
ture. We like to know about
our future as it is planned by
these hydrophobia skunks of
satan. General Walker was a
victim of a newspaper con
spirator that sold semi-nude
newspapers to soldiers in
Germany.

On Casting Aspersions
To the Editor: Mr. L. G.
Weaver's frequent excursions
into the realms of allegory,
comedy, facetiousness, humor,
raillery and ridicule as ve
hicles for airing his views on
a variety of subjects, had
qualified him amply, it seem
ed to me, for the appellation
of "town jester" which I ac
corded him recently in Com
munciations. Evidently he
doesn't appreciate the title
and, since assuredly there is
nothing "final and infallible"
about anything I say, he is
quite free to disown it.
However, in his attempts to
be witty (in which occasional
ly he does succeed), Mr. Weav
er oversteps the bounds when
he carelessly indulges in in
sinuation of dishonesty on my
part, as he did in his comment

Loveliest of Trees
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room.
About the woodland I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.

O
A Guard of the Sepulcher
I was a Roman soldier in my prime;
Now age is on me and the yoke of time.
I saw your Risen Christ, for I am he
Who reached the hyssop to Him on the tree;
And I am one of two who watched beside
The Sepulcher of Him we crucified.
All that last night I watched with sleepless eyes;
Great stars arose and crept across the skies.
The world was all too still for mortal rest,
For pitiless thoughts were busy in the breast.
The night was long, so long, it seemed at last
I had grown old and a long life had passed.
Far off, the hills of Moab, touched with light,
Were swimming in the hollow of the night.
I saw Jerusalem all wrapped in cloud,
Stretched like a dead thing folded in a shroud.
Once in the pauses of our whispered talk,
I heard a something on the garden walk.
Perhaps it was a crisp leaf lightly stirred
Perhaps the dream-note of a waking bird.
Then suddenly an angel burning white
Came down with earthquake in the breaking light,
And rolled the great stone from the Sepulcher,
Mixing the morning with a scent of myrrh.
And lo, the Dead had risen with the day:
The Man of Mystery had gone His way!
Years have I wandered, carrying my shame;
Now let the tooth of time eat out my name.
For we, who all the wonder might have told,
Kept silence, for our mouths were stopt with gold.

In the mist of murky dawn
Mary sought Him weeping.
Finding but an empty tornb
All in vain her seeking.
Angel voices brought her cheer,
"He is not here,
He is risen!"
Mothers of to-day's crusade,
Visioning a lonely grave,
Grieve not for your soldier-lad,
Hear the angel voice declare
"Look up, rejoice, be glad
He is not there,
He has risen!"

Symobl of Easter
As dawns the Easter Morn so fair,
Joyous and bright with lilies rare,
Happy we'd be could we discern
Love's Svmbol and its meaning learn.
O
All care, all sadness wiped away,
Christ conquered Death on Easter Day!
Let's from our hearts erase the night
By letting in the Easter Light.

Speeding Things Up
To the Editor: I have sent
this letter to Mayor John W.
Snider:
Dear Friend: I never had
the pleasure to meet you, but
any one that will hurry up
the fishing season is a friend
of mine.
I went lo write a letter
this morning. .1 had forgotten
the date, and lo and behold
I got Monday's newspaper
(the Mail Tribune). Here it
was dated April 22, 1962.
Here I am all at once bawl
ed up, even my bunny rabbit
hadn't laid her colored eggs
yet, and I was behind digging
my fish worms. Even my fish
ing tackle is tangled up yet
from last year.
Now all at once It comes
to me last spring you men
tioned about setting the clock
or calendar ahead a week. So
guess you really have.
Mina Wright,
Mt. Pitt Star rt.,
Butte Falls, Ore.
I may be wrong but I be
lieve that this Bill is a verv
serious thing for the people,
and the people who are con
cerned in the lumber and for
est work maybe, as yoo said,
not now but in 20 or 30 years
from now.
As for the people who say,
'Who cares? I won't be around
then" Wonder if they ever
thought what kind of a coun
ty this would be today if
everyone thought the same
way a hundred years back.
Thank you for your time
and space.

What Is Gospel?
To the Editor: The word,
gospel, connotes different
things to different people.
Originally gospel simply
meant news. News was gospel.
You might almost make it go
spell. But the word attained a
new meaning.
About two thousand years
ago the world was in dark
ness, mental and spiritual.
Strangely the world was at
peace. No major wars were
raging. Roman Caesars had
conquered the known world.
Roman law ruled, enforced
by Roman legions. Religion
was at a low ebb in spirit.
Greek and Roman mythology
had lost their appeal to think
ing people. Judaism had de
generated into legalism scarce
ly less onerous than Roman
chains.
Then one night a light broke
over the little Town of Beth
lehem. Shepherds came run
ning into the village telling
a strange tale about angels
singing, "Glory lo God in the
highest." In a stable they
found a baby boy whom the
angels had proclaimed the
Promised One.
The news spread. Wise men
from the East came to worship
him. Men began to face life
with a new hope born of a
new faith. And so the news,
gospel, became good news.
Thirty years passed. The
boy grown to manhood, began
to preach and show that God
was a father of love and mercy
and truth instead of a venge
ful tyrant and torturer of
blind and erring people.
But the rulers of church
and state did not like his doc
trines. They saw that his way
would put an end to their
exploitation of the people. By
conspiracy and false accusa
tion, they had him crucified.
Buried in a stone tomb scaled
with a great stone and the
governor's seal, he was done
for. Annas and Caiphas,
Herod and Pilate could clap
their hands and say, "Good
riddance."
Three nights went by. With
the dawn of the first day of
the week, they heard a most
disturbing bit of news. This
dead one was alive and walk
ing about among his follow
ers. "By all the gods in crea
tion, what can we do with a
fellow we cannot kill?"
Many tyrants have tried to
get rid of him. They have tor-
i turcd and killed many of his
j followers but his name and
faith they cannot kill. On
j Easter morn you will hrfr

Homework and the
Golden Rule
To the Editor: In Commun
ications 41 I had a letter in
which I ask Arnold Eugene
Jenny to prove the accusa
tions he" had brought against
Dan Smoot. In Communcia
tions 44 A. E. J. answered
my letter and the only thing
he did prove was his inability
to prove his accusations
against Dan Smoot.
In his letter he states, "Evi
dently she (that's me) never
has made any effort to verify
Dan s 'evidence I respect
fully suggest that she do her
own home work."
I A. E. J. was up on his
home work he would have
recognized that my first let
ter to Communications 311
was the results of my home
work (investigations) of Dan
Smoot Report No. 26, , June
26, 1961.
I will be happy to help
A. E. J. with his home work ;
if he will be guided by the
rule in Matt. 7:12, after all, j
that is just the Golden Rule. '
The tone of his letter answer
ing mine does not indicate j
that he read the verse, but
maybe he doesn't understand
it-
Close your eyes a moment
nd try to visualize what a
wonderful place this world
would be if every individual
would practice just that one
rule. This earth that God ere-
ted to be the home of the
human race would be one
beautiful Garden of of Eden.
The world surely would not
be in the mess that it now
is in. I hope that A. E. J. and
I do agree on this one point.

Hands Tied
To the Editor: The best
brains in the national capitol
labored over a Medicare pro
gram. Medicare for the aged:
TEN MILLION dollars lor
Oregon. Then Salem loused it
up. According to Charles O.
Porter only 3 per cent of the
ailing oldsters benefit.
One of the monkey
wrenches that was thrown in
to the Senior Citizens Health
program was the strict finan
cial and property qualifica
tions. The aim of the solons in
Salem it appears was to insti
tute an Aged Health program
confined to the status of a
pauper. That attitude is under
standable in a class society
where financial value comes
before human worth. That is
not a pretty picture in a mod
ern society.
Such conduct is hardly jus
tified in the richest country
in the world. The Oregon
Welfare Bureau would be
glad to utilize that ten million
dollars but its hands have
been tied by the seers at
Salem.
