They Have Lost Faith
New Orleans, La. Even those newspaper
men who do not agree with him consistently have
a high regard for James Reston of the New York
Times. They recognize in him a reporter of in
tegrity1 who works very hard to dig out the facts.
Mr. Reston has been granted exclusive inter
views with President Kennedy. All newspaper
men know that this was not for the purpose of
"using" Mr. Reston to expound any part of the
President's program. Mr. Reston could not be
used by anybody. Mr. Kennedy called him in be
cause Mr. Reston's thinking on public affairs de-
verves the attention of
president ot the United States.
JR. RESTON, who is kown by his intimates as
1T1 Scotty, spoke to members of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors the other day at
luncheon. He told them something that all need
ed to hear and we hope many of them will say
something to the people on their editorial staffs
about it when they get home.
He pointed out that almost everything that
theboviet Communists hoped would develop to
their advantage in the years following World
War II had not occurred, with one exception. The
exception: iney have
ening many Americans.
MR. RESTON thinks this has been possible in
large ' part because too many newspapers
have emphasized all the areas of the world in
which the United States is having trouble and
have not told the story of the repeated failures
or tne communists.
Nor have the newspapers of this country
; pointed out how very well in many places .things
I have been going for the United States since this
country committed itself to leadership of the free
! nations of the world.
Mr. Reston drew a
bol. John (jlenn. He said that the message he
got from Glenn's achievement was the recogni
tion that John Glenn was "the high school coach
the kid down the street," and that there were
thousands in this country like him. Because this
is so, Mr. Reston has no fear as he considers the
years after he is gone. Neither do we.

When President Kennedy

a radical revision of trade
policy should not be postpon

he was told that he would
be pressing a right idea at the
wrong time under the worst

The President was warned
by those who wanted to be
cautious that he would stir
a lacerating controversy in

Who Gets Things Done?
To the Editor: State Rep.
Robert Duncan, a congression
al candidate, proclaims in his
campaign literature "He gets
things done." My question is,
"What things?"
In 1959 one of the great is
sues was the passage of the
bill assuring an Oregon power
agency to protect our use of
public power. Duncan had the
power to appoint committees
and handle the Democratic
majority in the House so this
bill would pass. It did not
pass. Is this how he gets
things done?
In 1959 Duncan overrode
his own Ways and Means
Committee denying an in
crease in salaries for slate
employes which amounted to
only .0007 per cent of the
budget. Is this an example of
his farsightedness?
In 1961 the Oregon legisla
ture, under Duncan's "leader
ship" brought forth no new
tax proposal and spent every
dime of surplus in the State
Treasury, leaving the 1963
session with a terrible prob
lem of meeting increased
needs. Is this "leadership"?
In 1961 the Oregon legisla
ture (remember, Duncan says
he is a "leader") voted against
adequate funds for higher
education, with the result
that standards have fallen as
never before. After the '61
session, the Board of Higher
Education asked the Emer
gency Board for funds to meet
its needs arising from the in
adequate appropriations of
the session. Duncan made the
motion which denied these
funds. Are these the things
he gets done'.'
Duncan, who now views
with alarm the confusion of
Oregon's clocks, could have
avoided it all simply by kill
ing the DST bill through the
device, often used by house
! speakers and senate presi
i dents who oppose specific
bills, of sending it to a hostile
house committee. Could it be
he was then contemplating
statewide office and, seeking
to avoid alienating Multno
mah county voters, failed to
take that step? In any event,
he has no business complain
ing now.
In 1959 the Correction In
stitution, designed to rehabili
tate young criminals by teach
ing them a trade, commenced
operation. The high hopes for
this institution were shattered
by the failure of the legisla
ture to appropriate enough
money for the training pro
grams to start. Who got this
done? You guessed it!
Duncan shows no under-
standing of government or the j
appropriation function. Time I
and again he has exhibited a!
penurious approach to the fi-
iiiincial problems of our peo-
ple. Todav he still is not ore-
pared: campaigning for fed -
oral office, he talks nostalgi -
cany aooul slate issues. Ills
trail is littered, not by what
he has done, but bv what he
hasn't.

am sure that you will agree
that the park should be used
to its capacity if it is to pay

We see no reason why the
exit-entrance cannot be direct
ly off of the freeway at the
south end of the park near
the twin bridges. This would
not be an expensive project
nor a traffic hazard as the
grade of the highway and the
terrain are almost the same.

It seems to me that all of

Responsible Voters
To the Editor: After listen
ing to candidates for political
office and others say "I have
been a life long Republican"
or "I have been a life long
Democrat," 1 have wondered
if when each such person ar
rived in this world a note was
pinned to his crib "welcome

Should our political parties'
strength bc based on the pop
ulation explosion of that
party?
It would seem prudent to
stop some times and consider
what is going on around us.
It is usually the party in pow
er that has the opportunity to
be corrupt, the other party
probably lacks the chance for
the time being. So one should
consider where the governing
party is headed. What it is do
ing to stay in power and
whether its aims and accom
plishment are for the ulti
mate best good for the coun
try. We had under Teddy Roos-
cvell, a Republican, a crack

TRADE BATTLE
Washington-Vice President
Lyndon Johnson is taking an
increasingly important and
rvTsaii ! pen Par in
.the adminis
tration s one
truly historic
battle of this
congress - the
battle for a
freer policy of
world trade.
P r e s ident
Kennedy him
self is also
putting on his combat jacket
to go-personally-all the way
for his bill for enlarged au
thority to cut tariffs and so to
associate this country usefully
with the powerful new. low
tariff, world trade bloc now
rising in the European com
mon market.
The President docs not of
ten take personal command of
the troops in the field. Nor is
the vice president usually call
ed out to be his publicly iden
tified senior operations offi
cer on the firing line. On
ordinary issues, both usually
stay back at diviison head
quarters and, publicly at least,
leave the operating details to
lesser figures.
rpHE fact that on this rare
A occasion the administration
is putting its top officers right
into the forward command
posts signals one certainty and
one probability. The certainty
is that the President has
stamped an unalterable No. 1
priority on the Irade bill. The
probability is that both the
President and vice president
are moving swiftly lo avoid
harm to the bill from the ad
ministration's recent dustup
with big steel through its veto
of big steel's proposed price
increase.
For Ihe President has recog
nized from the start that the
support of business-and ese
cially of big business-is an ab
solute necessity if he is to be
able to gain from congress the
flexible tariff authority which
policy should be guided by
moral principle. It is not
enough to decide that a par
ticular course of action is
expedient; we must also ask
ourselves whether it is right
or wrong. Is it. for example,
right for us to slore up moun
tains of surplus food when
millions of people throughout
the world are starving? To
this qestion the Kennedy Ad
ministration answered a re
sounding "no." The Food for
Peace Agency has been dis
tributing tons of commodities
lo the hungry peoples of un
derdeveloped nations. In jul
one of these nations Peru
30,000 school children, last
year, received hot lunchea be
cause of the work of this
agency.
This is the kind of action
in foreign relations that I be
lieve we must continue and
increase. If I serve the people
of this District in Consrtss.
I pledge my support to Presi
dent Kennedy and his Admin
istration as they search for
new wave In nhim.A a fair
and lasting peace.
Our choice in this nuclear
age is not that of being "red
dead., for (hcsc nQl
real alternatives. Our choice
today is that which Patrick
Henry proclaimed before the
free and independent United
States of America became a
reality between liberty and
death.
I should like to work with
Ihe present Administration in
helping to develop far-sighted

he so urgently needs for the
good of the American econ
omy. Big business has up to now
formed the vital center of
backing for this program in
principle. One of the chief
spokesmen of business gener
ally, the United States Cham
ber of Commerce, has taken
the lead in this position. In its
recent meeting here, however,
the C. of C. leaders had to beat
down a revolt from among the
rank-and-file against the bill.
THE incident was perhaps
not too Important in itself.
It was, however, precisely the
kind of thing that could spell
coming trouble should any
large part of business now per
suade itself to cut off its own
nose to spite its face .
For business would make a
tragic mistake should it repu
diate the leadership of both
the Democratic and Republi
can parties and so begin to
snipe at the trade program
simply because of anger at
President Kennedy over the
episode in steel.
No economic proposal of
modern times has been so
deeply in the Interest of Amer.
ican business itself. No eco
nomic plan of the postwar
years has been so truly pro
business, so truly conservative
and so truly helpful to free
enterprise. For, at bottom, this
proposal is the last possible
thing from a "giveaway."
JT IS, instead, a strategy to
keep American industry
competitive with the vast trad
ing empire rising in the com
mon market. It is to avoid a
giveaway of American mar
kets to that empire.
This is the whole factual,
strictly unpartisan, meaning
of the struggle. And this is the
meaning that the top adminis
tration leaders, Kennedy and
Johnson, are preparing to try
at every cost, with the contin
uing help of Republicans like
Eisenhower and Nixon and
Rockefeller, to hammer in.

ministration has adopted as
official policies that Charlia
argued for, sometimes with

South American affairs, and
inspected disarmament.
I was delighted and pleased
to read your absolutely cor
rect statement that Charlie
is more responsible than any
other single individual for the
resurrection of the Rogue
Basin Project." Jackson and
Josephine counties need this
most of all. Charlie with his
four years in Congress, and
his many friends there, and in
the administration, can do
more to bring construction
money for this project, than
any other candidate. We need
the Rogue Basin Project, we
need Charlie to get the mon
ey. I personally will always ba
most grateful to Charlie for
the success of my campaign
to label shoes. He carried the
ball in Washington against
heavy opposition. When those
labels appear this fall on
shoes you can now say an
early thanks, by marking X
by his name May 18.
Charlie always told you
where he stood, he had an
office in downtown Medford
where you could meet him
in person. Have you seen an
office here lately?
Check the record, then I
urge you Democrats to vote
for the man who has PROV
ED his ability to get things
done. Charles O. Porter.
