P resident
Lyndon Johnson, a veteran oc
cupant of the moderate center
in the Democratic party, has
gained in national prestige -thanks
almost solely to his
old enemies, the knee-jerk
super liberals.
These are the messages of
national significance to be
read in the afterlight of the
Democratic primary in Texas.
The most ultra-ultra conserva
tive man among six aspirants
for the gubernatorial nomin
ation, Ex-Maj. Gen. Edwin
Walker, finished sixth. You
cannot do much worse than
finish last. The next-most-ultra
conservative, Marshall
Formby, finished fifth.

vember from Republican Jack
Cox.
In any case, to the vice
president this, to be sure,
would be a welcome success
for an old friend. But here,
as in so many other instances,
the knee-jerk liberals man
aged to overreach themselves
and make it something a great
deal more. When it looked
that Connally would not fin
ish on top, they proclaimed
it as an article of unarguable
truth that a defeat for him
would be a repudiation for
Johnson.
This would have been in
any event a most-debatable
proposition. For Texas, like
practically any other state,
chooses its governor for many
reasons. But the ultra lib
erals, whose tireless pursuit
of the vice-president is one
of the political oddities of our
time, have set up a standard
from which they can hardly
now retreat. If a loss for Con
nally would have been a loss
for Johnson, then the heavy
victory for Connally must be
a heavy victory for Johnson.
NEITHER oversimplifica
tion, of course, was or is
an unqualified fact. But, hav
ing put over the one side of
the coin by shrieking so loud
and long, the ultra liberals
now are stuck with the other
side. If a man is to be blamed
for the rain, he must be given
credit for the sunshine.
Actually, Johnson did not
"put" Connally into the race.
Actually,' the vice-president
was not altogether enchanted
by Connally's decision to run,
if only because he knew Con
nally would be made, willy
nilly, "Johnson's man," and
because there was no assur
ance whatever that this rela
tively unknown young poli
tician could carry the mail.
Of course, once he took the
plunge Connally was the most
logical beneficiary from old
Johnson people with whom he
himself had for years dealt
amiably as the vice-president's
campaign manager. But
It was a very long pump from
that to saying that Johnson
put Connally over the top. It
was mainly Connally who put
Connally over.
AND the notion that he is
"anti-liberal" and "anti
administration" is another bit
of knee-jerkism. He is "anti-
administration" to such Amer
icans for Democratic Action,
which lays down the line for
the faithful in such judg
ments. But, for that matter,
so is President Kennedy him
self on occasion - according
to Americans for Democratic
Action.
Connally did oppose or
have reservations about some
items in the Kennedy pro
gram and recommendations,

LEVEL OF CULTURE
A friend of mine wanted
to know what all the fuss was
about in the censoring of
"T h e Tropic
ffJ0mmyi nf Pan r P r."
He walked
into his neigh
borhood cigar
store, which
also stocks
books, and
asked for a
copy. "I don't
carry that sort
Harris of thing here,"
said the proprietor smugly.
My friend looked at the bot
tom shelf of the bookcase -on
which were displayed
dozens of cheap girlie maga
zines and pornographic book
lets. As the late Elmer Davis
wrote, more than 30 years
ago: "I would almost favor a
censorship myself if I thought
we could get one that would
pass Aristophanes and sup
press Earl Carroll; but what
we would get under any po
litical or police supervision
would probably be a board
that would pass Carroll and
suppress Aristophanes."
For some strange reason
that only a psychiatrist could
explain, police censorship has
always cracked down on
serious works of art, while
permitting the really nasty
trash to go unmolested. Our
greatest playwrights and
novelists have felt the cen
sor's wrath, but the lewd
magazines, the burleycue
houses, and the cheap saloons
continue to cater to depraved
tastes.
As far back as 1906, the
play "Sappho" was suppressed
in New York - because the
heroine was carried upstairs
by a man. Ibsen's "Ghosts"
was taboo for many years.
Mary Garden was prevented
from appearing in "Salome."
Shaw's "Mrs. Warren's Pro
fession" was censored in this
country.
Eugene O'Neill's "Strange
Interlude" was run out of
Boston in 1929, along with
Sean O'Casey's fine play,
"Within the Gates." Lillian
Hellman's first, and possibly
best, drama, "The Children's
Hour," was suppressed in
New England. Providence ban
ned Steinbeck's "Of Mice and
Men." Memphis knocked out
Sherwood's "Idiot's Delight."
Good literature has suffered
even more than the stage. In
one censorship wave alone.
Boston removed from its book
stores "Dark Laughter" by
Sherwood Anderson, "What I
Believe" by Bertrand Russell,
as can be said for every elect
ed Democratic politician in
office today - including the
special hero of the Texas
ultra liberals, Senator Ralph
Yarborough. But that seems
about the size of it.
"An American Tragedy" by
Theodore Dreiser, "Elmer
Gantry" by Sinclair Lewis,
"The World of William Clis
stfld" by H. G. Wells, "The
Sun Also Rises" by Heming
way, and "Antic Hay" by
Aldous Huxley.
During a wave of "obscen
ity" hysteria in the 1920's,
U. S. customs inspectors
seized as obscene such classic
works as Aristophanes's "Ly
sistrata" (which is included in
the Great Books course), De
foe's "Moll Flanders," the
"Arabian Nights" in the Bur
ton translation, the "Satyri
con" of Petronius, Balzac's
"Droll Stories," and Voltaire's
"Candide."
And, during my own time,
the police commissioner in
Chicago banned the presenta
tion of Sarte's serious drama,
The Respectful Prostitute."
while a piece of meretricious
junk like "Maid in the
Ozarks" ran for years. This is
the way of the censor, and the
reason he must be fought: his
motives may be high, but his
cultural level is generally
zero.
Two Accidents Are
Reported in City
Two non-injury vehicle ac
cidents occurred in Medford
Wednesday, according to city
police. One driver was cited.
Three vehicles received
minor damage, ponce said,
when the brakes failed on a
car driven by Patricia Jean
Bigger, 35, of 308 Haven St.,
Medford, about 10:30 a.m. in
front of 324 West Sixth st.
The Bigger car struck parked
vehicles registered to Robert
D. Shangle, 704 West 10th st.,
Medford, and Harold Reith
Bulman, route 1, box 316A,
Medford.
A citation for failure to
yield the right of way was
issued to Enid Colleen Wolff,
30, of 2879 Military rd., Med
ford, after the vehicle she was
operating collided with a car
driven by Ethel Mary Nagle,
, Central Point, about 6:05
p.m. at Niantic and Edwards
sts., police said.
Benton Budget
Given Approval
Corvallis - IUPII - A budget
slightly under $2 million for
the operation of Benton coun
ty during the fiscal year 1962
63 has been approved by the

Cecil To Conduct
High School Clinic
Ashland-Dr. Herbert Cecil,
chairman of the music depart
ment at Southern Oregon col
lege, will conduct a band
clinic Saturday, May 12, at
Pacific High school near Lang
loih on the Oregon roast.
Taking part in the clinic
will be band students of the
high school, and the program
will include morning and
afternoon rehearsals and a
concert in the evening.
Earlier this month Or. Cecil
served as guest conductor and
adjudicator at the Southwest
ern Oregon District Music
Festival in Reedspon, Oregon.
The program at the festival
included rehearsals a; d a con
cert featuring an all-district
honor band and adjudicating
bands from Brookings, Gold
Beach, Bandon, Myrtle Point,
Coquille, Coos Bay, North
Bend, and Reedsport.
Stockholders of the Penn
sylvania and the New York
Central railroads vote over
whelmingly to merge these
two of the nation's three big
gest rail systems into ONE
system that will have assets
of about five billion dollars,
20,000 miles of rail routes
and 120,000 employees.
The Pennsylvania is the na
tion's No. 1 railroad. The New
York Central is the nation's
No. 3 railroad. The Southern
Pacific (not concerned, of
course, in the merger) is the
nation's No. 2 railroad.
The Pennsylvania's stock
holders voted 84.9 per cent
FOR the merger. The vote of
the New York Central stock
holders was 70 per cent for
merging.
Washington-IUPD-The House
Space committee has trim
med $116 million-about 3 per
cent - from President Ken
nedy's space program which is
aimed at landing an American
on the moon before 1970.
Dayton, Ohio -WPU- Mayor
Frank R. Somers doesn't fig
ure he shortchanged the man
who called and identified him
self as "a taxpayer who helps
pay the mayor's salary." Som
ers advised the caller Dayton
has 262,000 residents and add
ed, "Your share is.fcss than
one cent a year. Since you
Ts'Vt tell me your name, I
think you've already had
your cent's worth."

WHY this overwhelming
vote to merge?
The answer is quite simple.
Last year the Pennsylvania
showed a net profit of 3.5
MILLION dollars on an in
vestment of 2.9 BILLION
dollars. The New York Cen
tral reported a net LOSS of
12.5 million dollars in 1961.
The stockholders hope the
merger will enable them to
earn a better return on the
money they have invested.

WHY?
The answer is brutally
simple. Overcrowded Hong
Kong doesn't have room for
them and OTHER NON-COMMUNIST
NATIONS WON'T
TAKE THEM.
IN THE past half-dozen years,
this little British crown
colony (its total area Is only
397 square miles, or about the
size of Klamath lake) has
built some 300 multi - story
apartment blocks in which to
house the refugees that have
run away from communism to
freedom.
It has resettled some 440,
000 of them, including finding
jobs for them. There are still
a half million of them living
in board and tar paper shacks
perched on hillsides, 80,000
living in similar huts built on
housetops, an estimated 225,
000 living in substandard
tenements - and 100,000 who
sleep on sidewalks and in
stairways.

AT THE end of World War
II, Hong Kong's popula
tion was only 600,000. It has
now swollen to somewhere
between three and a half and
four MILLION. It's hard to
take an accurate census of
this fantastic ant-hill. People
who live as the refugees live
in Hong Kong are hard to
count.
llfHY Is Hong Kong doing
" what It is doinc?
This answer is given by the
colony's officials:
Hong Kong no longer has
the capacity to care for the
natural increase of its PRES
ENT population - there were
91 ,000 more births than deaths
In 1961 - and at the same time
to make room for the 10,000
or more refugees who slip
over the border every month.
It's a tragic situation.
