APRIL 24. 1962 The Wrong Way To Do It The plan to finance the construction of off street parking facilities under the freeway via duct adjacent to Hawthorne park with Medford park and recreation department funds is clearly and flatly wrong. For the last several months, a group of down town businessmen have been pushing the propos al, and pushing it hard. We have watched their drive take shape with considerable interest, beginning Feb. 15 when Medford Attorney Otto Frohnmayer lit into the city council and accused it of dragging its feet with respect to city betterment. At that time he said the downtown business district was blighted and that the most salient reason for the decay was the lack of parking. AT THE same time he called for the immediate restoration of Hawthorne park, which was all but devastated by the construction of the free way through it, and for a speedy and general clean-up of Bear creek within the city limits. Downtown Businessman Chet Hubbard that night particularly addressed himself to the matter of restoring Hawthorne park. Hubbard said he felt that funds derived from the state from sale of right of way for the freeway through Hawthorne park should be used first for the restoration of the park, and that none of the monies should be used for thorne park had been completely restored. Then, in an interesting piece of logic, he said he felt the installation of off-street parking facil ities under the freeway viaduct should be regard ed as part of the park restoration plan. CINCE that evening, the group of businessmen have held various meetings (both public and private) with members of city government, and conducted them on a guided tour along sections of Bear creek. Last week, their efforts bore fruit: Wednes day night the park and though several members tled about it, recommended the installation of 130 parking spaces under ly, the commission failed funds to pay for the project should come from. The next night, to the of several members, the city council found the matter in their laps. Publicly, they finally voted to approve the project, but carefully allowed themselves two more weeks to figure out where the funds should come from to pay for it. Privately, after the meeting, at least two of the councilmen said they have some reservations about taking money from partment funds to finance TE MORE than share " stand clearly opposed to the expenditure Let's review briefly that have been presented in favor. It has been argued that the spaces are needed to accommodate the cars 1 his is pure fancy. Hawthorne is a small park. Its principal attraction during the summer is the pool. Park officials say it is the habit of parents to drop their children off for their swim time, and then return for them later. Park and Recreation worth said there are probably only about three or four occasions during the year when normal parking facilities would vast parking lots of the ter, immediately across f It seems clear that an es are not needed certainly not desperately needed just for the patrons of the park. IT HAS BEEN argued that indeed the installation of parking facilities is the only logical and sensible use of the space. We grant merit to this argument. If one must have more off-street parking, under the freeway might seem a tine place But what possible justification is there for using park and recreation department funds with which to pay for it? Installing 130 parking spaces can hardly be called "restoring the park to its original condition." We are at a loss even to understand how the additional spaces under the viaduct are supposed to cure or even partially alleviate blight in the downtown business district. Assuming the corner of Main and Central to be the center of the business district, anyone parking his car under the viaduct would be con fronted with a five-block's walk to get there. Modern shoppers just don't walk that far. The space might, however, be usable, if not actually convenient, for businesses. But. again, provide mat parking space for them? And with park and recreation department funds? QNE FINAL thought: If the estimated $35,000 needed to finance the installation of the parking facility were taken from the park and recreation department funds, a carefully drawn up priority list for park development and park site acquisition would have to be thrown out. Any delay in certain land acquisitions now under negotiation by the city could end up being very costlv indeed. This whole matter is taking on the color of a first-class boondoggle. We urge the city council to go slow. As the council members so well know, the in terests of all the citizens of Medford must inev itably take precedence over the interests of a small, vocal and influential group.

Many Helped To the Editor: The Amer ican Red Cross Disaster Com mittee would like to thank the following people for their contributions to the Red Cross Mobile Canteen that fed the searchers during the hunt for the two lost boys last week: John North of North's Chuck Wagon, Chuck Bate- man of Bateman's Richfield Cafe, Fred Beck of Beck's Bakeries. Mrs. Charles Hoov er, Mrs. Lindsay Tibblts, Mrs. A. A. Wattenburg. Also greatly appreciated was the assistance with com- inundations given by Jack Hall of the Civil Air Patrol and Alvin Alexander, radio operator. Mrs. O. A.

Instead of one simple com prehensive plan to solve this single problem, we are to have three separate plans with three separate groups to ad minister them. One to care for those on welfare, one for those not on welfare and not en tilled to Social Security ben efits, and still another for those drawing Social Security checks. Such a program would seem lo be designed more to solve our unemployment prob lem than that of medical care for the aged. Personally, I don't think medical care has any place in Social Security and any such plan should be financed from the general revenue rather than from payroll deductions alone. You say (he average cost will be about one dollar per month to the wage-earner and an equal amount from his employer. That may be sta tistically correct, but it seems only (air to point out that any one making $5,200 annually will pay over twice that amount. Mr. Burrill says very few people over 65 can afford a serious illness with any con siderable length of hospitaliz ation. I would like to say few people of any age can afford It, least of all (he wage-earner with a family to support. Most opponents of our present Med icare plan say the oldsters resent having to answer ques tions about their financial status. How such an attitude could have survived nearly half a century of filing in come tax returns and coping with appraisers of real and personal property is a mystery to me. I don't think the tax payers should be asked to pay the medical bills of those who can well afford to pay their own. Perhaps one solution would be for the government to take over the hospitals and make them available to everyone MEDFORD MAIL Menace n 1ET 2f CRAZY 'BOUT C3S." under the same conditions as provided for in the King-Anderson Bill. That would be fair to everyone and any defi cit could be made up the same way as that of the Post Office department. Bureaucrats thrown out of work by this plan could be used in the hospitals to carry bed pans. Howard Wilson, Route 1, Box 280, Central Point, Ore. Always Welcome To the Editor: Thank you for the very nice announce ment regarding the Easter Sunrise Services that we had here at the Sanctuary. How ever it was printed that they were to be held on Table Rock mountain, while actual ly they were held on top of the mountain here at the Sanctuary. We do sincerely hope that this mis-print did not cause anyone inconvenience, espe cially at that hour of the morning. Actually most peo ple know us so well now that they were not confused by the mistake. Thanks to John Stafford's articles we have become acquainted with peo ple from all over the United States and Canada. If anyone did plan to visit us Sunday and were unable to make it, they can always be assured of the fact that they are welcome to come up at any time. They will find their trip will be quite worth while for the scenery here is spectacular and we LOOK DOWN on the Table Rocks, being several hundred feet higher than they are. We appreciate the new friends that we made Sunday and we hope that like the many other visitors that we have had, they will return again and again. Again, let us say that I am very sorry for any inconveni ence that anyone might have had. Dallas Purcell Route 2, Box 572-C Central Point, Ore. Library Needs To the Editor: Will you please print the following copy of my letter to the Members of the Jackson County Budget Committee: Gentlemen: In expressing my hope for favorable con sideration of the proposed budget for the Public Library of Medford and Jackson County, 1 would like to stress the point that by the greatly expanded county-wide use of the library facilities through the growing Branch Library system, the problem of the adequate budget becomes more and more the concern of the county. An excellent review in the Medford Mail Tribune Sun day by Mr. Gilbertson, on the increase of library usage shows a rise of 143 per cent in book use in two years by the people in the county out side of Medford. The same report also shows an unfavorable comparison with our neighboring coun ties in the number of books per capita available and the expenditure per capita in the library budgets. Mr. Bacon and his tine staff have done a remarkable job in making it possible for more people to use and en joy more books and the other facilities of a good library system. This costs more money. But the continuing and increasing interest and I appreciation of these efforts j as shown by the residents of i the county, clearly indicates I approval of an Increase in the budget.

OREGON De Gaulle Sentence Br PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst It is a quirk of history that President Charles de Gaulle is being called upon for the second time to pass upon a s e nt e n ce of life or death for a great French nation al hero. It was at 4:15 on the morning of Aug. IS, 1945, that a jury in Newiom Paris return ed a verdict of death against Marshal Henri-Philippe Pe tain, hero of Verdun in World War I, Nazi collaborationist in the Vichy French govern ment of World War II. Then, as he must now in the case of Gen. Raoul Salan, it fell to De Gaulle to make the tinal decision. It was near the end of De Gaulle's first term as the first premier of the French Fourth Republic. He communted the aged Pe- Retain Known System To the Editor: We have ob served the taking over of gov ernments in various parts of the world when pressure groups decide to move in. One of the first steps is to have a non-partisan election from single list of candidates and, of course, the helping of those candidates who are friendly to the cause. After these elected assume their seats in the presidium, coun cil or commission, they ap point and perpetuate in the various branches of govern ment the persons who will be subservient to their mas ter - the pressure group. In the case of smaller gov ernments where the premier, chairman or whatever title he may have, is the only full time leader, he tends to as sume dictatorial control since the part-time members of the governing group assume his recommendations are in the best interest of all and thus these members through lack of time, and the pressure brought to bear, became "rubber-stamp" approvers of all actions desired by the group controlling them. In practically all of the propaganda to which we have thus far been subjected in fa vor of the County Home Rule Charter, the admission has been made this proposal Is not perfect and will need changes. One of the most glaring im perfections, in the opinion of the undersigned, is the re moval of the county govern ment from partisan politics. By retaining party politics we can assure ourselves a choice of candidates for of fice and if we refute the char ter proposal we will continue to select the persons we want to serve us. The proponents of the char ter would have us believe a non-partisan list is the best way to select office holders but a quick look at Medford will show the deterioration of interest in politics since non partisan lists were adopted. It might also be well to rcstudy some of the countries of the world where "free elec tions" were had from a sin gle list of candidates without party affiliation. After city and county government it can well be the next two steps will be state and federal. then the prophecy of conquest from within will be fulfilled. It is not the intent of the writer to be a orognosticator of doom, but it is better to rciain me Known system we have than to pass to an admit tedly imperfect and untried charter. Dan F.

Population Emergency To the Editor: During the coming decade one billion children will be born, the great majority of them to an existence of poverty and want. In the crucial areas of Asia, Africa and Latin Amer ica, where per capita incomes fall as low as 20 cents a day there in no margin for shar ing. Illiteracy and misery are the norm. et the human fam Uy continues to grow at an unprecedente rate, multiply ing and intensifying the ten sions under which the world lives today. Hungry people affect our conscience. Huncry nations af fect our future. Thus, the pop ulation explosion presents a global threat which tran scends national boundaries, endangering the freedom of all mankind. It must be check Again Must Pass on Death of French Hero-Turned-Traitor tain's sentence to life im prisonment. Petain lived with his dis grace for two years, finally dying at the age of 91 on his prison Island of Yeu off the French Atlantic Coast. The parallel does not end with Petain. Petain served the Vichy government as chief of state. Under him as premier was Pierre Laval. It was upon Laval that the chief blame fell for the crimes against Free France and he also received a death sentence. De Gaulle refused to inter vene and Laval died before a firing squad at Fresnes Prison Oct. 15, 1945. The firing squad or the guillotine also awaits Salan and his second in command in the outlawed OAS, Gen. Edmond Jouhaud, who was captured a month ago in Oran. Jouhaud already has been tried and his sentence passed on to De Gaulle for review. Salan, sentenced to death once in absentia, now will be tried in person, with the ver dict a seemingly foregone con clusion. There is special tragedy in the case of Salan. Before he turned to the AOS and its assorted atroci ties against Moslem and Eu ropean alike, he was entitled to wear more decorations than any other officer in France. He had served as De Gaulle's ed before the damage be comes irreparable, for If free Institutions cannot provide, the essential needs of the peo ple they will Inevitably seek another way out, even at the sacrifice of their freedom. The poverty in which mil lions of human beings have lived for centuries must be alleviated if our world is to escape social, economic and political chaos. Yet it is a tragic fact that expanding populations are frustrating ef forts on the part of the devel oping nations to expand their economy. Even with massive foreign aid, they cannot grow enough food, build enough housing or schools or hospi tals, or provide enough jobs to keep pace with their grow ing populations. It took all of the vast reaches of time to build to day's population of more than 3 billion. But this figure will double by the end of this cen- truy if present rates of growth continue. Unless we recognize and constructively attack the population problem now, we shall suffer the consequences of a world so crowded and so inadequate in resources that it may well be impossible for a free society to meet the ensu ing needs. The World Population Emergency campaign is work ing to alert the American peo ple to this crisis. We are seek ing to help private citizens' groups working in 32 coun tries to initiate and expand their population control pro grams. We have already made grants totaling some $225,000 to national movements in Ja pan, Ceylon, Korea, India, Malaya. Indonesia, and to oth- er groups in Asia and Latin America. We must do much more if we are able to meet the many urgent calls for help coming from overseas. Contributions (tax deducti ble) to the World Population Emergency campaign will be utilized without delay, and will be deeply appreciated by myself and those friends over seas who depend upon us for aid.

THE GENEVA GAP Washington - Obviously no one would expect the Soviet Union to accept out-of-hand the draft treaty for "complete and general" disarmament which the U.S. presented at Geneva. It is not surprising, there fore, that the immediate re sponse of the chief Soviet del egate, Deputy Foreign Min ister Valerian A. Zorin, is cool, negative, and disdainful. He was disdainful in describ ing the American draft treaty, which was packed with orig inal and constructive pro posals, as "containing nothing new. He was negative in that he announced - after taking a cursory look - that the U.S. proposals for verification "are not acceptable." Thus the first word from Moscow on a verifiable dis armament treaty is a double nyet. THIS may or may not be Moscow's last word. Whether it is or not, the United States has done Itself and the West a good service by putting before the whole world a concrete, comprehen sive, careful program for achieving disarmament pro gressively - if the Soviet Union wants to end the arms race more than it wants to maintain total secrecy. It can't have both. That might as well be recognized at the outset. There must be means of verification, or there can't even be a beginning. The U.S. draft treaty shows that we earnestly want arms reduction, as well as arms control, and that we stand behind a practical means of bringing them about. It gets us off the partial negative stance we have been occupying too long. It re moves the impression that the U.S. was demanding massive inspection for minute disarm ament, that we were more interested in building ud in spection than In dismantling arms. We are now advocating sub stantial stage-by-stage disarm ament, and we are advocating only a degree of inspection equal to each stage. JS THERE any prospect that the Soviet Union will r. cept? Will it go along with sufficient verification so that there can be no perilous risk that one side is disarming wnue tne other isn 17 The U.S. has gone far lo meet the Soviet argument that limited disarmament means unlimited inspection. We have measured inspection lo the amount of arms reduction at each stage. We are not asking to subject the entirety of the Soviet Union to inspection when disarmament is only be ginning. Each country would be divided into zones, and the international disarmament or ganization would select with out advance notice the zone to be inspected. The more dis armament, the more the veri fication. ON THE basis of the posi tions the Soviet delegate has been taking so far at Geneva, even these conces ment of truth. And from grim Sante Pris on already is emerging the picture of s man anxious to disavow himself of the blood of the innocent, realizing too late that his was not the guiding hand of destiny, but rather its victim. sions will not satisfy Moscow. Here is the tremendous gap which still exists: U.S. proposes verification on both sides be carried out by an international agency. U.S.S.R. rejects any inspec tion on Soviet soil except by Soviet officials. U.S. says that arms retain ed as well as arms destroyed must be verified. U.S.S.R. says only arms de stroyed need to be verified. U.S. advocates a permanent UN peace force which could only function if there were no UN veto. U.S.S.R. seeks to expand the UN veto and has always opposed a UN peace force. One may hope that the wish to end the spiraling, ever more-costly arms race may persuade the Soviets that dis armament is better than se crecy. But it will be a long. tortuous negotiation before the end is in sight. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris c General Features Corp. AMERICAN MEN VS. ENGLISHMEN "I was watching the Jack Paar show that was taped in London," said the woman sitting next to me at dinner. and I was struck again with the vast d i s similari ty betw e e n American men and Eng. lishmen." "In H what way?" I said uneasily, adopt 1 n g a Harris clipped Brit tish tone. "Well." she said, "Paar interviewed three Eng lish political figures, all ot whom disagreed with one an other. All of them were quite passionate and persuasive in their ways, but they sounded so very different from Amer ican men I have heard on po litical forums and round ta bles." "You mean they were more educated?" I inquired. "Not just that," she answer ed, "although that's part of it. What I mean is that they seemed so much more grown up. They were urbane; they spoke with some grace and precision - and with a lot of humor.'' "Maybe we don't think pol itics is funny over here," I ventured. "I don't mean that," she shook her head. "They were utterly serious in their views, but they didn't put on the mock solemnity, that turgid style we're so accustomed to hearing. And they didn't give out with a lot of cliches about patriotism and the British way of life and all that." "We don't like wit and hu mor in our public men," I of fered. "Apart from other fac tors, it was Stevenson's ready tongue that hurt him in the presidential elections. Ameri cans seem to distrust a man who expresses himself well." "That's part of it," she nod ded. "It also has something to do with security. Those men felt secure enough in their backgrounds and accomplish ments so that they could fore go the dreadful ponderous ness of our politicians. They were dry and witty and sar donic - and delightfully self deprecating. I guess Steven son is the only American poli tician who deprecated himself in public - which is, appar ently, not a trait we admire here." "I'm sure many British po litical speeches are deadly dull." I put in. "I'm sure they are. too," she said, "but, ail in all, our public figures seem like lit tle boys compared to theirs, It's hard to imagine Church ill's splendid prose - at once subtle and masculine - being duplicated in America. And yet it was the inspiration of his prose that gave the Brit ish the courage and spirit dur ing Dunkirk and before." "You prefer Englishmen to American men, then?" I asked nasally. "Not in many respects." she said, "but American men are duller to talk to. They wax lyrical only about busi ness affairs and golf, and the humor is strictly locker room. No wonder we have so many dissatisfied women." fl&e''-'
