One of the most conservative ,pewspapeiedi tors in Oregon is Giles French, crusty and out spoken edit of the weekly Sherman County Journal in the little town of Moro. Sherman county this Friday will vote on a Home Rule Charter. It is not exactly the same as the one which will be voted on here this Friday, but is very similar. Here is what French has to say about it: "There has been but little discussion of the pro posed county charter . . . "The details of the charter seem unimportant to us. Like charters being voted on in other counties, such details can be changed right here In the county when desired. Without a charter we are subject to state laws that cannot be changed except during leg islative sessions and seldom then because of a lack of representation for small counties. "It may be said that this county has no govern ment. Certainly It has no right to make laws. The county court is an administrative body with control of nothing but some aspects of the road program. Under a charter system, charter counties would soon acquire control over many aspects of county affairs like herd -laws, grazing districts, weed control, along with the right to make legislation regarding Its own internal management. "Adoption of a county charier would be a step toward independence." X7E CANNOT, of course, say that "there has been but little discussion of the proposed charter in Jackson county. It has, as a matter of fact, become the most controversial thing on the ballot, in the eyes of many. Frankly, we're a little puzzled as to why this is so, and why the discussioh has not been confined to the merits of the proposal, rather than dragging in wild-eyed allegations of "socialism" (a flat falsehood under of the word) or even ridiculous on the face of Be that as it may, we calm analysis of the Sherman county charter. And this from a man who is a bitter foe of big govern ment, high taxes, government spending, the wel fare state, and so on and so on. E.A. On Partisanship Incidentally, apropos of a letter in the Corrv munications column today, we don't believe that anyone has ever advocated the elimination of politics from county government. What has been advocated by some, including this writer, is the elimination of partisan poli tics, wherein the structure of the two political parties tends to muddy up local issues by injecting partisan rivalry into matters which should be de bated on their merits. There are some areas of public life which should be insulated as much as possible from the pulling and hauling of politics, as defined as the art and practice of government, but county gov ernment certainly is not a e DOLITICS is the very essence of self-govern- ment, and in state and national affairs, where broad matters of policy are to be decided, the two- n system is the best one yet devised, ut on a county level, where road building, irrigation, sewers, water, police and fire protec tion, parks and recreation, but important matters are only confuses things. If nothine else, the Rule Charter proves one thing: People ARE in terested in their local government. Which is a good thing. E.A. New G.O.P. Star One of the more interesting political figures to come onto the Oregon scene recently is a pro fessor of speech at Oregon State University by the name of Harold Livingston, rh. D. His advent is, in some ways, reminiscent of that of Wayne L. Morse, law school at the University of Oregon prior to entering the political arena. Dr. Livingston was for the Republican nomination for U.b. senator He is opposing Sig Unander and Edwin R. Dumo, and other lesser-known objective reading of the give him less of a chance better-known candidates, he has succeeded in creating quite a splash upstate. UIS home-town paper, the Corvallis Gazette Times, a staunchy conservative G.O.P. paper, is supporting him. So is Herald, likewise conservative Republican. He has been mentioned favorably by the Port- t I 1 I 1 a a 1 1 a 1 iana papers, ana eyea wun mieresi oy omers. Some rather acute political observers declare that he would have a better chance of defeating Senator Morse in the fall than either Unander or Durno, inasmuch as he is aggressive, articulate and politically attractive. His big problem, they say, is the lack of name-familiarity at this stage, and the wider reputations of the other two. CDITOR Charles A. Sprague of the Salem Statesman comments:. "Livingston has flashed bright in the political sky because as a professor of speech, he is a gifted speaker he Is eager to debate Morse . . He's a comer whose talents are sorely needed by Republicans, who have not been as articukl-" as the Democrats." With this sort of attention, gathered after only a few weeks of limited campaigning, one gathers that Livingston will be a name to be reckoned with in time. Even if defeated yi the primary (as he may well be), here is a new star in the Oregon G.O.P. firmament which will be heard of more in the future. E.A. any competent definition "communism" which is it. rather like Giles French's one of them. and similar mundane at issue, partisanship debate over the Home who was dean of the a last-minute candidate candidates.

F. Robinson, Box IB, Talent, statesi "Tha State Police have said that Horn Rule gWes too much power to too few people. I think lhay are not only right, but that they ara in a position to know what tha dangers ara." Capt. Paul Morgan, com manding officer of tha Ore gon State Police in tha Mad ford district, today pointed out that this statement was ma da without authority from tha state police, and that lt is incorrect, inas much as the department takes no part In such po litical issues. Why The Opposition? To the Editor: Considering the opposition to Home Rule, first one must look for the spark, namely the majority of county candidates and their followers, who will not admit the good in the Charter be cause it does not serve their selfish interests. Of course they want to retain these county offices as elective plums to scramble for each election year. Were the county depart ments manned with tempor ary help, as the department heads are now, how efficient would they be? A successful business does not hire tem porary help of uncertain ability for the key Jobs. They want someone that knows what he is doing, and Is Interested in the future of the business. Take a long hard look at the array of county candidate and see If you don't think a change is needed. Of those opposing the Charter we have three dis tinct groups: (1) The people that are against any change at any time regardless of need or benefit: (2) The people thai have a chance of personal gain through maintaining the coun ty elective offices as they are now; (3) The people that have listened to the objections of the opposition and not approv ing of a section or portion thereof. In the Charter, and have condemned it as a whole, without admitting that am ple provision is made tor change and revision as it's found to be needed, and ap proved by the majority of voters. For those swayed by the orations against Home Rule, I ask, did anyone ever present the whole truth when half truths would serve them bet ter? You will have to decide the answer for yourselves. Read and study the charter carefully, and think well be fore voting no on Home Rule. Remember, should this instru ment for county government be voted down, we WILL have state controlled county planning and loning, over which we will have no alter native. No charter ever written will be perfect and suit every body, but we do need the pro tection of our local rights of fered by this charter, and the committee Is to be commend ed for Its diligent work. Adopting the non-partisan charter will not endanger our party system, any more than the Judiciary branch of our government being non parti san has harmed It. A vote FOR this charter Is a vote for our whole economy. with efficient and effective county government. Margarite Pole. Star Rte. Box 20, Shady Cove. Ore. Politics To the Editor: You grossly misrepresent (editorially MT 5-13-82) the position of many who oppose the County Home Rule Charter because of Its similarity with the "Metro" system. You call their ob jections silly and ridicule) is. but this hardly qualifies as refutation. Perhaps, in fact, thunce rstorm before, Joey? you cannot refute them. It has been your policy to rail against people you term extreme, hysterical, suspi cious of change, etc., without offering to explain or clarify. Perhaps if you were less ex treme in your criticism and more reasonable in your own suspicion of these people, the charter or a charter could be approved. We could then hope to eliminate some of the more inoperative characteristics of the present three-headed hy dra known as the county court. "Counly government must be non-partisan" is a theme of the proponents of the pres ent charter. "Politics must be kept out of the Court House and out of county govern ment," we are told. Yet, what are these people doing with their organization (Citizens committee), their letters to the communications column, their presentations before public groups and other clubs? Why they are simply practicing POLITICS! They must believe the charter will eliminate politics and this helps to confirm my position that a government under the proposed charter could carry out many functions without the participation, consent, of the electorate; for such par ticipation of people in the working of their government is POLITICS, and the suppor- ers of the charter want poli tics removed- from county government. (?) If the voters do not accept the charter I sincerely hope the election will not be the end of the effort to improve county government in Jack son county. The County Home Rule Study Committee has demonstrated great perserver ance and proved by example they were willing to work for what they thought was best. I can only continue to dis agree with them on important issues; but they have had an extraordinary effect on me and I wish to thank them. Robert J. Howard 828B West 14th st. Medford. In the Day's News By FRANK In Florida, a candidate for the state Public Utilities Com mission challenges a news paper's right to endorse a political candidate. He asks for a grand jury investiga tion of newspaper endorse ments of his opponent, and cites a Florida election law which states that "no COR PORATION whatsoever shall contribute directly or Indirect ly anything of value to pro mote or defeat the candidacy of any person." He bases his challenge on this statement: "Since virtual ly all newspapers are incor porated, the question is whether a new spaper endorse ment is 'anything of value'." HE RAISES an interesting question. Let's put the answer to it like this: If a newspaper's endorse ment (of a candidate or a measure to be voted on by the people) has any value, it is because the readers of the newspaper have confidence In the INTEGRITY of the newspaper making the en dorsement. If lis readers have no con fidence in the newspaper's in tegrity, its endorsement of candidates and measures will have NO value. That's about the long and the short of it. IHAT brings up an Interest ing episode in our history. Opposition In and out of congress to the Constitution, in that it was not sufficiently explicit as to INDIVIDUAL and slate rights, led to an attfeement to submit to the people immediately after the adoption of the Constitution a number of safrguarding amendments.

OREGON Communism's Sin, Thinking for Oneself, Pursues Milovan Djilas Through Prison By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst In a courtroom located In an old three-story building beside a church in Commu nist Belgrade, handsome, graying man with burning eyes played out a familiar role. For Mil- IV-. I ovan Djilas, I convicted o f iVl J revealing gov ern m ent se Nawiona crets, c o nvic tion meant that he would spend another nine years of his life in prison. Djilas Is Yugoslav commu nism's great dissenter. His written criticisms of Yugoslav and Soviet communism have made him a more familiar figure to the West than when he served as Marshal Tito's closest friend and vice presi dent of Yugoslavia. The charges which brought about his one-day trial and conviction, were described only in the vaguest terms but they sprang from his new book, "Conversations with Stalin." The Yugoslav party news paper Borba in which Djilas once wrote as a trusted trans lator of Communist theory, accused him of writing the book "with the intent and purpose of being one of the instruments in the cold war." Washington Report By William S. Whit let United Featur Syndicate BAD NEWS FROM BRITAIN Washington-Political mod eration is on the way out in Britain, and this is very bad news for tne United Slates. The conserva tives are suf fering defeat after defeat in local elec tions by left w 1 n g candi dates from vvhti me L,aDor ana Liberal parties. The cold omens coldly mount: Prime Minister Harold Macmillan s conservative government it self will surely be repudiated in the next national election unless tired old ""Super Mac" can bring forth yet another from the long pocketful of miracles which have thus far sustained his regime. The national election can come no later than 1964-our next presidential year. It could come much earlier. It could come any time Macmil lan's increasingly large and emboldened opposition should find itself able to carry mo tion of no-confidence in par liament. IN THE strict and narrow sense, all this is the busi ness of the British. But the implications are immense for us here in the United States. For Macmillan Is the very symbol of a middle-road phi losophy which is far closer to our own dominant national philosophy than the British Labor party - which will be the winner if Macmillan loses JENKINS failed of necessary The two do with ratification by the number of states. that failed had to apportionment of representatives and sation of members. compen- rpHE ten amendments that A were adopted have come to be popularly known as the Bill of Rights. The first of these ten amendments reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establish ment of religion, or prohibit ing the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech OR OF THE PRESS; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Which is to say: Our Founding Fathers had confidence in the ability of the people to judge for them selves as to the INTEGRITY of the press. A THOUGHT in conclusion: The despots who have arisen in recent years to de stroy the liberties of the peo ple and to take Into their own hands supreme and des potic power-the Lenins, the Stalins. the Mussolinis. the Hitlers, the Mao Tse-tungs, and so on-have paid ample tribute to the importance of a free press in preserving the liberties of the people. About the first act of these despots, upon coming into possession of supreme power, has been to DESTROY the free press and to set up In its placj a press-newspapers, magazines, radio, television, etc. - operated by heel-dogs and yes-men who will do the bidding of the despot. There is nothing a despot fears as much as a FREE press. ti- For the dedicated Djilas it was an old story. In 19S3 he was regarded as one of the most outstand ing of Yugoslavia's young leaders and the most likely heir to Tito. But in that year also he' wrote a series of articles which suggested that the Matter of Fact y j. lc New York Herald "ALL MUST BE LEARNED" Bonn - "All must be learn ed." Bitterness, nostalgia for an other time. the irony that is one of Kon r a d Aden auer's trade marks, even a kind of self- m o c k e r y, which is very much less c haracteristic Aliop -all these could be detected, inter-min gled and in conflict, in the strange single sentence. The Chancellor spoke with doom like finality, almost as though he were pronouncing an epi taph. Thus he replied to the ques tion, whether "communica tions had completely broken down" between the German and American governments. The question was prefaced by a reference to the unfailing intimacy, the unquestioning trust which formerly prevail ed. When the Chancellor an swered with those four words, he was in fact admitting a to tal breakdown of German A m e r 1 can communications; and the manner of his admis sion was in truth a kind of epitaph on the close partner ship of the past. e ONLY a little while after the meeting at which this admission was so grimly of fered, the word came through that U. S. Ambassador Wal ter Dowling had requested a meeting with the Chancellor to present a personal message from the President. That fact alone was enough to revive in England-could ever be. Labor's top leader, Hugh Gaitskell, is himself a per fectly sensible and responsi ble man. But he is constantly pressed by a powerful left wing. These are authentically and hot-eyed socialistic, where he is only nominally so. And they are deeply attracted by cold-war neutralism, not to mention a good deal of deep down anti-A mericanism, though these are in no way his own feelings. If we think here that Mac millan's government has been too ready to propose overly hopeful approaches to the So viet Union-as some of us do we won't have seen anything yet until Labor comes to pow er in London. e GAITSKELL as Prime Min ister would do his best to uphold a policy of strength in the Western Alliance. But while giving him full marks for his intentions, it is un realistic to suppose that he could altogether check the ban-the-bombers and all the rest who would come to power along with him. Allied high policy would surely be put into at least some degree of disarray. And, almost as bad, the growth of the highly unattractive New Britain which has emerged from World War II would be sadly accelerated. This is the Britain typified by the angry young men of literature, by scorn for the good as well as the bad of the past, by a new form of class hatred. Not the least of Macmil lan's achievements has been to check with tact and toler ance the decline of the old Britain in the emergence of this new and grasping and largely mannerless Britain. He knew the old had to go; he has only tried very hard to preserve what was good in it for so long as he could. HIS patience at this melan choly task of presiding over the liquidation of the kind of Britain Churchill knew-while the United States in its wisdom presided over the liquidation of the last of Britain's colonial power has been a memorable thing. It has been moving, too. to all who have had the privi lege of knowing the Prime Minister-and who are un lucky enough still to value the traditions of a gallant gentility of the past. It will be doubly said when Macmillan goes: for more than Macmillan will be going. Going, too, and perhaps for ever, will be an England of half-fond, half - exasperating memory. That England was arrogant, but also had the courage of a special nobility. That England was complacent, but also was enduringly faith ful to freedom and honor. That England muddled and fuddled languidly in any peace-time, but died with un exampled bravery and "good taste'' in any and every war. Communist party no longer was essential to the final vie tory of socialism He had be come influenced by Western thought, particularly that of the British Labor party For that ain, he was strip ped of his government and party positions In 1955, he declared that Joseph Alsof) Tribune Syndicate hope of better things to come. Furthermore, throughout the whole course of a very long interview, the aged but still Incisive Chancellor kept re turning to the theme that any emphasis on Western differ ences would only aid the cause of the enemies of the West. For both these reasons, all details of this talk with Ade nauer were off the record, except the single, inescapable admission that German-American communication had been almost wholly interrupted, at least for a while. Only one other specific point may be touched upon, because it is common knowledge in lonn. After the famous Bonn leak of the American proposals for a Berlin bargain, Secretary of State Dean Rusk sent Ger man Foreign Minister Ger hard Schroeder a telegram of protest whose violence of language was only exceeded by the self-righteousness of its tone. Foreign Minister Schroe der returned a relatively mild answer, but when Chancellor Adenauer saw the Rusk mes sage, he all but declared it inadmissible and non-received. The Rusk message left a deep wound, which will take long in healing. a THE incident needs to be known, because it reveals so much. The Kennedy admin istration bristles with bril liant men, but none of them has rebuilt a broken nation, or has taken the lead in re storing a vigorous political life among the ruins of a vi cious past, or has served as the co-architect of a grand alliance. Whatever his faults may be, these are Chancellor Adenauer's accomplishments. President Kennedy himself still remembers and respects them but a good many of his subordinates do not. And this is both bad style and bad pol itics. After a decent respect, what else is wanting to restore a visible German-American re lationship? The answer can be given In a single phrase a rapid renewal of the for mer intimacy and frankness. There is no use entering here into the lunacies of the Americans or the follies of the Germans In the miserable period which culminated in Chancellor Adenauer's explo sive press conference in Ber lin. The essential point is that real intimacy and frankness have been wholly lacking from the start. There can be no intimacy and frankness, of course, if Washington increasingly echoes the British line (so reminiscent of the old line about those bothersome Czechs) that the Germans are selfish and unreasonable be cause they allow vital nation al interests to influence their judgment of the Berlin prob lem. rpHERE can be no intimacy - and frankness, either, un less Washington insists that the Germans must share the responsibility, either for a Berlin settlement or for the risks arising from the ab sence of a settlement. Duck ing this responsibility has been the basic German fault, just as failing to insist upon the German responsibility has been the major American tac tical error. After what has passed, of course, it will be very diffi cult indeed for the govern ments of John F. Kennedy and Konrad Adenauer to re store the old German-American relationship. They will al most have to begin all over again, as if they were meeting one another for the first time, so to say. Yet when I left the long. high, cool room with the view over the Rhine, where the Chancellor customarily re ceived visitors. 1 felt far more hope than when I entered. Judging by his Berlin press conference, it seemed that the Chancellor had already abandoned the ancient German-American partnership in favor of the new Franco-German partnership. It seemed in fact that the voice of the U.S. had ceased to count for any-' thing, in the very place where the U. S. voice used to count the most. But this, one may now be sure, is incorrect. Much harm has been done tei the German American relationship, but no harm has been done that is past remedying by wise ef fort.

For that he received a year and a half suspended prison sentence. Then came the greatest de fection. In 1956 he wrote: "The revolution in Hungary means the beginning of tha end of communism gener ally." A three-year prison sen tence followed, but in the very next year came "The New Class" which continued Djilas' indictment of commu nism and added seven mora years to his prison term. When Yugoslavia released him from prison in January, 1961, he promised to refrain from activities which would bring him into conflict with the nation's law. In April, as result of his new book he was arrested again under a law passed only a month before. To a warning that return to prison impended, he is sup posed to have replied: "Do what you will. I writs what I have to write." The last eight years of Djilas' life have marked a sharp change in this idealistic man who as a youth served a prison term as a revolution ary and who fought for com munism as determinedly as he) now criticizes it. Djilas' sin Is that he de mands the right to think for himself. In the Communist book, it is a cardinal sin. Strictly Personal - By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises Ine. INSULARITY Not long ago, I served aJ the moderator of a panel dis cussion sponsored by the local society of ar ch i t ects. It was part of an all day con ference on the problems, of urban living. What distin guished this session from so many oth Barns ers was hat the participants were not only architects, but also city plan ners, housing officials, land economists, designers, build ers, developers, and mortgage bankers. This sort of cross-pollination is badly needed in every profession. Too often, mem bers of a profession (or busi ness, or craft) spend most of their time talking at one an other, mutually stroking their egos, or emitting futile com plaints, which nobody really listens too. So many trade conferences, professional convention, and assemblages are a colossal waste of time for all involv ed exactly because there is no effective communication between the group and rela ted groups. The different stands, for instance, taken by the American Medical Asso ciation and the American Hos pital Association indicate tha lack of understanding be tween groups even in closely related fields. In some colleges and univer sities, there is now arising a movement often called "in terdisciplinary studies." All this formidable phrase means is that you don't really know your subject if you know only your subject - that a real grasp of one's subject involves knowing how it relates to oth er subjects and how they all fit together to make a sensi ble whole. Architects sometimes give the impression of caring lit tle about the places and pur poses of the building they con struct. Planners often seem to think more of geometry than of people. Developers and mortgage bankers tend to think of "value" exclusively in terms of money. Yet it is impossible to have a flourish ing and stable community un less all these factors are ju diciously balanced and sensi bly inter-related. This insularity reminds ma of a story I heard many years ago about the three men who were arguing the merits of their respective professions -a doctor, an architect, and an economist. "Mine is the most venera ble of professions." exclaimed the doctor. "It's obviously the oldest - in the Bible, Eva is created from a rib of Adam, which was the first surgical operation." "Thai's nothing." retorted the architect. "Long before that, in the Book of Genesis, it says that 'order was brought out of chaos.' An architectur al feat, of courses The economist merely smiled and inquired bltejc. "But, gentlemen. w do you think was responsible for tha" chaos?" o f
