Charlie Shibitz Stadium
It has been proposed that toe new stadium
grandstand soon to be built at Medford High
school be given the name, "The Charles Bradford
Shibitz Memorial Stadium " It would be in honor
of Good Old Charlie Shibitz.
It's a splendid irleaj! o
Now it may be that you have not heard af
Charlie Shibitz. If this is so, we suggest you con
sult the nearest member of the Senior class at
MHS, for Charlie is one of that class's best-known
and best-loved members.
Charlie is a remarkable student. He has been
on the honor roll, is a member of the honor so
ciety, and yet leads the entire school on the ab
sentee list.
LIE IS the star of the football team, yet never
has played a game. Despite his notoriety, it
is rumored that some Senior class members have
never actually seen him, though all have, of
course, heard of him and of his deeds.
He will graduate this year, and if his name
is not called out for the presentation of a diploma,
it will be a sad disappointment to many.
You don't believe there IS a Charlie Shibitz?
Oh, but there is, and we have seen his gradua
tion calling card to prove
He is also listed in the student directory:
Shibbitz, Charles (someone put an extra "b" in
his name), 1101 Red
Spring 3-8111.
HARLIE'S origins are
w be sure.
Medford High students first became acquaint
ed with him during a football game in Red Bluff
in I960. The following year, we are told, he trans
ferred to Medford High, and immediately tried
out for the football team, but some say he was
ineligible to play because his parents were not
residents of this school district.
Details of his career
down. And the sort of
whom you ask. We understand that he has caused
consternation among some substitute teachers
when, in taking the roll, Charlie almost invariably
turns up absent.
""HARLIE is the kind of
y be all things to all men
vivant, adventurer.
We really would like to meet Good Old
Charlie, for we suspect we'd like him just as,
during World War II we always kept an eye out
for the ubiquitous Kilroy, but always managed
to miss him by a moment or two.
In any event, Charlie is without question the
most interesting and in some ways the outstand
ing member of the class
stand as representative of all high school students.
We heartily second the suggestion about the
name for the new seating stands. "Shibitz Sta
dium." It has a fine ring to it! E.A.
Legislators' Pay
At the primary election a week from Friday.
the voters of the state will pass on this proposal:
"SALARIES OF STATE LEGISLATORS
Purpose: To amend Constitution by providing'
that legislators' salaries shall be established and
paid in the same manner as the salaries of other
elected state officials."
This measure should pass. It is logical, and
would be a step in the direction of good govern
ment. The legislators' salaries are now set in the
state Constitution which is perfectly silly in the
first place. And in the second place, the amounts
paid (?(i00 per year) are totally inadequate.
1E DO not believe that the members of the
" legislature would, if given the authority to
set their own salaries, be unreasonable or pro
fligate. But it would give them a chance to set
up a reasonable salary scale, which would make
it possible for many able people who cannot now
afford to do so to seek public service in the
legislature.
Oregon's legislators are among the worst-paid
in the nation today. And we do not foresee the
day when they would ever be among the best-paid.

Matter of Fact
(c New Ynrk Herald
THE FOCUS OF ALARM
Bangkok, Thailand -Rather
soon, the focus of alarm
is likely to shift towards this
t r o ublcd re
gion of the
world. The
reason is sim
ple. In one
way or anoth
er, the Com
munist pow
ers are bound
to respond to
the challenge
of the Amer
Alanp
ican commitment in South
Viet Nam.
This far-reaching commit
ment has been made with a
minimum of public fuss, and
by deeds, not words. The
American effort in South Viet
Nam has been quietly but
massively increased. Of this
effort, the most formidable
figure in the Kennedy admin
istration, Secretary of De
fense Robert McNamara, has
taken personal charge, coming j
monthly to Hawaii to plan
the next phase.
As though to prove the U.S.
means business, American sol
diers in the guise of "advis
ors" have been ordered into
combat in an undeclared war
for the first time in history.
All this adds up, unavoidably
and irrevocably, to an implied
American commitment to re
pulse the Communist attack
on South Viet Nam at all
costs.
SINCE the intensification of
the American effort began
to be noticed, there have been
many reports of the marked
improvement in the atmos
phere and outlook in South
Viet Nam. Up to a point, these
reports are undeniably cor
rect. For the first time in years,
the American political and
military activities in South
Viet Nam have intelligent,
united, and energetic top-level
leadership. At the mid-level,
impressive, eombal - ready
American officers have large
ly replaced the ptissle-gulted
re - treads whom t he U. S.
Army so often and so strange
ly selects to advise our allies
overseas.
At the operational level,
finally, the new U. S. Com
mander. Gen. Paul llarkins, is
showing a refreshing and
wholly novel grasp of the cen
tral fact of the guerrilla war.
This is the fact thai the war
is mainly being fought in
the boondocks - in the Viet
namese provinces by (he
civil guardsmen and the sol
diers of the local militia, who
had received no U. S aid
whatever until very recently.

progress 11 has brought a

it. Nonetheless, this kind of
progress will not insure vic
tory, even when countless hel
icopters, radios to give belter
communications to the vul
nerable villages, and other
kinds of expensive hardware
are cranked into ihe equation
The truth is that the problem
in South Viet Nam is not like
ly to he solved in isolation.
It needs to he considered as
only one part, though the most
important part, of the larger
problem of Communist aggres
sion in Southeast Asia.
Here In .'hail.ind. there is
another part of the same prob

makers have also tried to
solve in isolation. The Thai

Thanat Khoman, visited Wash
ington, and brought home
with him what amounts to a
direct U. S. military guaran
tee of Thailand. This is an
other very big American com
mitment, which very few peo
ple have noticed. Because
they now have their guaran
tee, the Thais have ceased to
oppose the U. S. policy in
Laos.
tEANWHILE, the Commu-
J-T1 nists are using the oppo
site of the piecemeal Amer
ican approach. From the be
ginning, the first target of
their aggressive design in
Southeast Asia has been Laos,
the country least able to re
sist their pressure and the
I country wnicn is also on the
road to both Thailand and
South Viet Nam. There has
been an uneasy lull in Laos,
since the proclamation of a
ceasefire and the beginning
of the American drive, as yet
fruitless, to install a "neutral
Laotian government which
the Communists plainly hope
to control. But the lull may
now be ncaring its end.
The principal alleged "neu
tralist" in Laos and Prime
Minister designate of the
"neutral" government. Prince
Souvanna Phouma, has gone
off to Paris for an indefinite
stay. The "neutralist" mili
tary leader, Gen. Kong Le,
has been invited to Moscow.
Soviet Ambassador Abramov
i has also left Laos for Moscow,
for prolonged consultations.
It seems a fair bet, therefore,
thai the Communist offensive
in Laos may be resumed at

in the courts. But it is appar
ently breathing down the
back of the party with in
creased heat.
The Supreme Court has
unanimously upheld the or
der of the Subversive Activi
ties Control Board that the
Communist party is an agent
of a foreign government and
by a 5-to-4 decision has held
that the party must register-
as does every other agent of
a foreign power.
On the basis of these two
supreme court decisions, the
Justice Department indicted
on six counts Gus Hall and
Benjamin J. Davis, the assert
ed top leaders, for failing to
register the party. The max
imum penalty would be five
years in jail and $10,000 fine
on each count.
'
THIS is the point at which
the leadership of the Com
munist party is taking double
quick steps to conceal its op
erations and camouflage its
leadership. The once openly
avowed ieaders of the Com
munist party suddenly are no
longer "leaders" of the party.
The pattern of its tactics
is evident. Here is what's hap
pening: 1 - Party leaders such as
Hall. Davis, and Elisabeth
Gurley Flynn are no longer
publicly identifying them
selves as either party mem
bers or leaders. To do so
would make it easier for the
government to produce evi
dence that they hold leader
ship positions. At present,
for example, party leaders
are making many speecnes
around the country. When
they do, they identify them
selves as "spokesmen" of the
party, not by title. If they are
asked specifically whether
they are party officials, they
refuse to give any title.
2-The Communist party is
currently very security con
scious, doing all they can to
destroy or conceal member
ship and other records which
could be used by the govern
ment against it. Extreme
care is exercised in holding
party meetings. Only trusted
members are invited. They

land. In practice, the risks are
mucn reauceo oecause ine
added strain of any serious
Chinese external adventure
will almost certainly touch off
an internal explosion
which
can perhaps occur anyway
In sum, this is the moment
to be firm, if the U.S. really
means business in Southeast
Asia.

our society, however over
blown, are real, and we can't
hide them from others with
out pretending to hide them
from ourselves. In fact, we
couldn't hide them. America
swarms with foreign writers
and film makers from both
friendly and hostile societies,
many of them dedicated to
portraying the Teal" Amer
ica, by which they mean the
grimy sides of our life. Their
words and pictures are prob
ably more influential with
their home audiences than
our own productions, and

ing, the British novelist, do
ing a series on the world's
cities, when he headed for the
wackenes of Las Vegas, a
place most Americans also
have never seen and also re
gard with some alarm.
Abjective rejjorting aside,
the twth is that denigration
helps cover the identity of
party officials and members.
NONE of this means that the
Communist party is less
active. It is simply doing
everything it can to disguise
its members to avoid the law
which is slowly beginning to
close in. Its leaders are work
ing under new designations,
Gus Hall as "party spokes-
j man," Daniel Rubin as "asso-
ciate editor of New Horizons
for Youth," Herbert Aptheker
as "editor of Political Af
fairs." The Internal Security Act
does not outlaw the Commun
ist party, nor make member
ship illegal. It simply re
quires that, as with other for
eign agents, it register its
members and officers, disclose
its finances, and identify its
propaganda. It will then be
free to function without run
ning for cover.
There is no doubt that At
torney General Robert Ken
nedy will be prosecuting the
Hali and Davis cases with vi
gor and ingenuity.
In the Day's News
By FRANK
This modern world tale:
In Dcs Moines, Iowa, in our
own U. S. A., Charlotte Pe
ters, age 22, mother of a four
year old son, estranged from
her husband and on relief,
found a while back that she
had more pinto beans and
cornmeal and rice than she
could use. So she packed up
her surplus and mailed it to
a friend's elderly and impov
erished mother in Tampa, Fla.
SHE didn't pack the bundle
securely enough. The sack
of beans broke open. The
Tampa postmaster saw it. He
did his duty. He reported it
to the U. S. postal inspector
at Atlanta. The Atlanta in
spector wrote the postal in
spector at St. Louis. The St.
Louis inspector wrote the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
Whereupon, the Depart
ment of Agriculture sent a let
ter to the Iowa Welfare De
partment in Des Moines. In
the letter, it said: "It is imper
ative that a thorough investi
gation of this matter be made
in order to establish the re
sponsibility therefor, and to
obtain restitution for the val
ue of the commodities so di
verted." WHAT'S all the shooting
about?
Let's go back to the begin
ning. The package contained sur-
plus food. It was labeled: "For
I distribution to needy families.

HOW did it happen?
Well, Mrs. Peters (whose
kindly Impulse started it all)
receives state payments as aid j
to dependent children, thus
making her eligible to receive
free food commodities. This
is her explanation of why she
did what she did:
"I couldn't possibly use all
the beans, rice and cornmeal,
and rather than have the wee
vils get into the food I tried
to help someone who needed
it."
R H
WPi
Whitlatlatch, Iowa
welfare director, says:
"We don't feel it was an
attempt to defraud the gov
ernment because the postage
probably cost Mrs. Peters
more than the food was
worth. But it was a MISAP
PROPRIATION. We might
have to suspend her from the
commodity distribution for a
time."
SUMMING it all up:
Nobody did anything
wrong.

Everyone should be just
plain bursting with amity and
melody, this week. Home
Rule Charter people will be
kissing Anti-Home Rule Char
ter people on both cheeks,
just as the Democrats will
patch up all their differences,
and tell each other what fine
fellows the others are.
How else should we act on
Goodwill and Music Week
(combined observance)? Be

And Janet Sullivan, In
tha third grade at Hoovtr
school, welcomes the spring"
about at well as anyone
can with !h following of
fering, printed in the cur
rent issu of the Hoovar
Hi-Lite:
Winter is gone with all its
snow.
Springtime is here, gentle
winds blow.
Winter is gone with all its
ice,
The flowers in Spring smell
very nice.
Yes winter is gone with all
the cold weather,
Springtime I think is real
ly much better.
We're on your side, Janet.
We're on the side of Mimi

Spring is here,
Let's give a cheer
For after the cold
The flowers unfold.
Meanwhile, back in tha
prose department, Jeff Bol
ton (Grade 2S) writes about
insects. Jeff lays:
I like the bees best of all
other insects because they
make honey and I like honey.
But I hate cornborers because
they eat corn and I love corn.
But I like the praying man
tis because they eat corn
borers. I like lady bugs be
cause they eat insects in the
garden. Grasshoppers are
like me.
