Good Before last Friday's primary election fades from memory, we would like to compliment the way in which the elections department includ ing the precinct counting boards and officials tabulated votes in the precincts. Seldom if ever have we seen such a smooth, swift operation, from beginning to end. There were a few minor bobbles, of course, but in the main all of them bent every effort to see that the results were made available as rapidly as possible to the newspaper, radio and TV people, who took the precinct totals and compiled them into mean ingful results. The light voter turnout was in part responsi ble for this speed, but this detracts not a bit from our admiration and appreciation for the job the counting boards did f riday night K A. Bay Area Consolidation Once again, a proposal to consolidate the cities of Coos Bay, North side, together with adjacent unincorporated areas, has been defeated. But this time it was with a difference, and the difference amounts sooner or later such a consolidation will happen. The difference is this: Last time, the pro posal was defeated soundly, with strong opposi tion everywhere. This time. Coos Bay, Eastside, Empire, and the unincorporated areas voted FOR consolidation by substantial margins. And North Bend, which voted against, did so only by the slim margin of 16 votes. THUS the backers of back t.nmnnrarilv. hnvp pvpvv l'pasnn tn be lieve it will be successful on another try. Some of those leading the opposition in North Bend, when they indicated they would be consolidation on another Also, there is the towns which voted for outside areas, could "go tion, leaving North Bend out. We suspect that North Benders would view this with distaste. IF and when such a consolidation is effected, it would make the resulting city the fifth or sixth largest in the state about the same size as Lorvallis and bpringtield, than Medford. The campaign this public service by the Bay Area Junior Chamber of Commerce, and while disappointed that it did not carry, they were encouraged to try again by the close result. The Coos Bay World reports that the cam paign for consolidation was conducted on a high plane by both supporters and opponents a far different situation than when a similar proposal was defeated some years ago. THE area has had its share of interne rmn KiLniiniv nirnr tlin von re iHnna Rutr ( nnno known as Marshficld) had a bitter fight over the name change some years ago. And there has been considerable rivalry between that town and the slightly larger North Bend, which almost abuts it on the north. The election this time signifies that a new day of civic cooperation dawned in the Bay area. Une rather hopes so. The advantages in eliminating duplicating serv ices and costs, in unified administration, and even in civic pride, would pay considerable divi dends to the residents ot Without attempting what's none of our business, we suggest in a neighborly sort of way that it be tried again, and soon. E. A. Cave Junction (City?) While commenting on civic arguments and decisions in other areas, we note with interest that the city council at Cave Junction has re jected another attempt that little community back to Lave City. Elwood Hussey, who filed the original plat for the town, and who served two terms as its mayor, dropped in the office the other day to re port on the council s action, and it also was re ported on the regional page yesterday. Hussey said it was platted in 1933 as Cave City, but that when a post office was established there, the Post Office department arbitrarily gave it the name Cave Junction, which has stuck, and became official when the town was incorporated in 1!)17. THE name change Hussey suggests was defeat 1 ed in 1958, by a vote of 61 tn 39. The council, apparently, believes that voter opinion has not changed sufficiently from that time to take any action. It denied ilussey's petition to put the question up for another vote, largely for techni cal reasons, according to our correspondent. As for the merits of the case, it is a matter of )ej'sonal preference. To las a pleasanter ring than the name Cave Junc tion, with its implication of being a wide spot in the road where two highways come togather. Speaking of the two highways, another of Ilus sey's long-time ambitions is for the Oregon Caves highway to be extended up Crayback creek, over the shoulder of Sugarloaf mountain, and down into the William? creek area, to join with High way 1238 at Provolt. This would give a direct route from Cave Junction (City?) to Medford. E.A.

SQUELCHS Sitting and suffering for hours at a deadly banquet the thought wist fully of the late Dr. Rob ert A. Milli kan, the dis tinguished sci e n t i s t, who some years ago blessed us with the per fect banquet squelch. Hams At a Cham ber of Commerce dinner in California, Dr. Millikan was the guest speaker. The dinner began at 7 p.m. There then followed the past president's report, the incoming presi dent's promises, routine busi ness, and interminable intro ductions of everyone at the speaker's table. At 10 p.m., Dr. Millikan staggered to his feel and said to the 300 guests: "At this hour, I fear the mind is too weary to listen to the speech I have prepared. I had intend ed to discuss one of the chap ters in my new book, 'The Road to Peace.' Any of you who are interested may read the book." He sat down in a wave of tumultuous applause. And all of us who are, from time to time, forced to attend such weary sessions, should invoke the righteous wrath of Jehovah upon those multi tudes of chairmen, past presi dents, future presidents, in coming treasurers and outgo ing secretaries, who make the air purple with their platitu dinous prose, who drown us in tides of ennui, who impair our digestion, cloud our vision, stupefy our minds, and para lyze our posteriors. I, too, have suffered at the mouths of these barbarous and insensitive windbags. I, too, know what it means to sit at a banquet table hour after hour, poisoned by cigar smoke, strangled with inco herent rhetoric, until the speech I was to deliver be came a nightmare of gibberish in my fevered brain. Never though, have I had the courage of a Millikan. I have merely, on such occa sions, trimmed my talk down to the bare essentials, and then fled into the cool and starry nigh!, the check in my moist little paw. and a cata tonic stare of horror in my bleary eyes. This, I know, is the cow ard's way out. Henceforth, steeled to boldness by the evergreen memory of Dr. Mil likan s noble example, 1 shall try to emulate that anony mous, but immortal, actor who. after an eternal intro duction by a gabby chairman, was presented to the audience with the words: "And now Mr. Blank will give you his address." other night, I Mr. Blank stood up. straightened his sagging shoulders, licked his dry lips, strode manfully to the lectern, pulled a manuscript out of his pocket and deliberately tore it to pieces. "Gentlemen," he intoned slowly and loudly, "my address is the Lambs Club. New Y o r k," and promptly sat down. .0 O MEDFORD 0 AIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WHOLE NAME?

Sure enough, a few hours after arrival he col lapsed and was taken to the infirmary here, where he has been the past two weeks.

There are limits on de Gaulle's freedom of ac tion, imposed by the French Assembly, by the other mem bers of the European Com munity, and even by French public opinion. Yet it is even more foolish to talk of de Gaulle and his senior comrade-in-arms, Ger man Chancellor Konrad Ade nauer, as aging monarchs, whose removal from the scene will also remove the trouble in the Western Alliance.

Sut Bugyall Southwest Medford (Real name on file) Beastly Rumors To the Editor: There is a rumor afloat that the weather at Howard Prairie Lake, this past week end, was less than tropical. We admit to being sensi tive about any comment less than overwhelmingly enthu siastic regarding all things at Howard Prairie. We need, however, issue only factual information to prove that only good and favorable conditions exist at Jackson county's num ber one pride and joy. Back to the weather, we readily admit, and our week end guests will concur, that the bananas did not appreci ably ripen in the banana belt known as Howard Prairie last week end. Regarding the fishing, we can again only relay the facts. They were downright vicious. We know of no cases, how ever, where anyone was seri ously harmed physically, by the attacking trout, but they did cooperate most heartily j witlt anyone willing to do : battle with them. To our knowledge, everyone caught fish, with many limiting out within two hours. This 100 per cent score and the absence of a certain editor from the lake was. we are sure, only a coincidence. Bob Johnston 112 South Riverside ave. Medford till tions-with the Kremlin were on the upswing on the word of no less an authority thaij Nikita Khrushchev. Last month, Soviet Foreig Minister Andrei Gromyko vis itcd Tito in Yugoslavia and the two later reported their conversations had been "con structive." On May 1, new Soviet built tanks appeared In the May Day parade. In Soviet - Yugoslave rela tion both were firsts. After a brief honeymoon following the death of Stalin, relations French tendencies will cer- tainly continue after the two leaders pass. The trouble in the West is more profound, in other words, than the mis deeds of two wrong - headed old men - which is the way too many leaders of official Washington seem to see it. This being true, what has gone wrong? Beginning in France, the trouble is the result of two interacting factors. One fac tor is de Gaulle's desire to make Europe into a third, quite independent giant power. This has always been there, and it cannot be alter ed. But the other factor is an American contribution. It is the Kennedy administration's refusal to extend to the French the kind of nuclear cooperation we give the British. The arguments for this re fusal are, first, that we do not want to help to create any more nuclear powers; and second, that we cannot make de Gaulle be nice to us by being nice to him. Both argu ments are quite legitimate. But so is the argument against the rebuff to the French -that we cannot stop the French nuclear program any way; we can only stretch it out and make it more ex pensive. For the limited gain of stretching out the French nu clear program and increasing its costs, we have accepted, even invited, what can only be called a vicious deteriora tion in the Franco-American relationship. By so doing, we have increased de Gaulle's support at home, thereby much increasing his freedom to act in the way we dislike. TN 1 tn practical sense, the trouble in Germany is even more important and funda mental than the trouble in France: but the effect is the same, to increase de Gaulle's freedom of action. The trouble in Germany takes the form of mounting German doubts about the reliability of the German - American partner ship. These doubts have in creasing reliance on the Franco - German partnership, which is the linch-pin of do Gaulle's European design. As long as the Germans put the American partner ship first, the U. S. government always held the upper hand. Hence a decision to give mor tal offense to de Gaulle de- j manded a concurrent decision I to take great pains to keen the German - American part nership in good working or der. The precise opposite was done. A decisive German change of partners is now clearly possible, and it will shortly become probable un less strong remedial measures are taken Finally, the anti-French nu clear decision may also, in a very curious and unforeseen way. give rise to bad tronhle in Britain. Prime Minister Macmillan's Conservative government wants to be ad mitted to membership in Europe on reasonable terms, and expects defeat at the next British election if not admit- i tccl. De Gaulle has the power, not to keep the British out, but to prevent their admission to Europe on reason able terms. TF the U. S. government had A offered nuclear cooDeration to de Gaulle, the British would have no card to play in preliminary to clearing them their game with de Gaulle. As selves. it is. however, the British can And this the Democrats offer the French the same nu-1 would surely be doing - in clear cooperation we have re- the public's mind, at least - fused, in exchange for better European terms. To be sure. this will be a gross betrayal of the United States. If such a British offer is made, moreover, de Gaulle will he more interested in the betrayal than in the nuclear cooperation. The point is that the British betrayal of the United States will involve still another reversal of al liances, even more profound aH .ifi .i,a ,h that may be in the making in Germany. After such a reversal, de Gaulle can count on serus British collabora tion in his design for Europe. This siejmary of the pres ent state of our relations with our throe leading Western al lies makes melancholy read ing. , great deal has gone wrong But how and why? The question will be ex amined in another report. chilled again as result of So viet handling of the Hungar ian revolt and no top Russian had visited Yugoslavia since. No Russian military aid, had been sent to Yugoslavia since the breakowith Stalin in 1948. In the intervening years. Tito has attempted to have the best of both the Commu nist and Western worlds. American aid, both military and economic, has totaled more than $2 billion, and his trade with the West is twice that of Yugoslav trade with the Communist bloc. It is un likely that he now seeks to endanger either the trade or the aid. Tito is neither a member of the Soviet-led Warsaw Mil itary Past nor is he invited to summit sessions of the Com munist leadership. These conditions probably will remain, if only because Tito will not surrender the independence which led to his original break with the Krem lin nor abandon his declared policy of neutrality which has paid off so well. On the other hand, when Khrushchev said the two countries saw almost eye-to-eye on questions of foreign policy, he really was saying little new. Tito always had made clear Washington Report By William (ci United Feature Syndicate McCLELLAN'S ROLE Washington - While it is far too early to foresee all the possible political impacts of the Billie Sol Estes scan dals, one thing may be said with certain ty. This is it: The Kennedy admin istra tion and the national Dem ocratic party would already be in a nasty fix, indeed, but for the fact that the decisive inquiry is in the hands of one of those dreadful "conserva tive southern Democrats" so endlessly deplored by the more frantic liberals in that administration and party. Sen. John L. McClellan of Arkansas, head of the senate's top investigating committee, is a priceless boon now both to President and party. This is not because he is even slightly likely to whitewash anybody within the adminis tration; but rather because he is not. It is not because he is a faithful partisan Democrat; but rather because he is not. 11 f cCLELLAN has become the indispensable man precisely for the reason that he is nobody's man but the senate's man. So he holds Re publican as well as Democrat ic trust there - and also with in that part of the public trust which knows his record. The greatest possible dan ger that could come to admin istration and national Demo cratic party from the fast buck operations run by Estes through the farm subsidy pro gram is not the mere danger that he may involve any num ber of functionaries within the department of agriculture. It is the peril that the Re publicans might be able to convince the country that the cleanup was being done with favoritism to the administra tion. This sort of charge, if made to stick, would be infin itely more dangerous than half a dozen revelations of bu reaucatic footsie-footsie with Estes. For this sort of charge would go to the integrity of the administration at the top. rpHIS is the point the Rcpub-- licans have instantly and rightly recognized. From for mer president Eisenhower down they have been warn ing that they would leap with all force upon the smallest indication that the Democrats, ; holding control of both White House and Congress, were only investigating themselves if the senate investigation were in charge of some bleat ing Democratic ultra-liberal aching to come to the aid of his party, I McClellan. in a word, will do the best possible Job from I ,nc standpoint of the adminis- tratton and the Democratic party exactly because he owes and claims no excessive "loy alty" to either. THE same kind nf thin ha. , x happened already, in the ; se of right-wing charges of undue censorship of military men. These accusations, too. could have been infinitely harmful to the adminijration but for another "conservative southern Democrat. '"Senator John C. Stennis of Mississippi. Like McClellan. Stennis Is not a "good" Democrat by the standards of the ultra-liberals. Accordingly, the 'gagging" i i he is a Communist and dedi cated to a Communist world. He has supported the Soviet Position on Berlin and on im mediate and total disarms ment. He openly ympathized with the Communist decision to break the voluntary test ban on nuclear weapons and his neutrality always has been on the side of the Soviets. It is unlikely that Khrush chev ever can carry his de Stalinization program to tha extent of approving Tito's in dependent brand of commun ism. But their community of interests broadens so long as both come under the ideolo gical fire of Red China and the Soviet boycott of Albania continues. Economically. Yugoslavia's difficulties can be more sim ply stated. Industrialization, under con ditions of forced growth, had produced a gratifying increase) in national product for seven years. But in a speech at Split on the Adriatic, Tito confessed tht "onions hava now become dearer than gold." He blamed lax and profit eering managers and decreed a new austerity for Yugo slavia. S. White inquiry recently conducted bf him largely satisfied the coun try simply because it was a fair and full job, protecting nobody and vilifying nobody. Like McClellan, Stennis has the mind not of a prosecutor and not of a defense lawyer, but of a judge. All this compels this col umnist to offer, with unbe coming but irresistible im modesty, the white law of practical' politics. This law is that if southern Democrats "disloyal" to the national party - in the ecstatically sim ple criteria of the ultra-liberals - did not exist, they really would have to be invented. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This modern world note! Parts of dead mdn's hearts have been successfully trans planted to patients critically ill of heart diseases. Toronto (Canada) sugeons did the op erations on nine patients. Six of them are alive and well. The others died of complica tions from pre-operativa weaknesses-meaning that they died of causes other than heart trouble. The New England Medical Journal, commenting on tho operations, which were per formed at Toronto's Western Hospital, says the six are alive as a result of the re placement of aortic valves -which control blood flow from the heart to the body. The success of these opera tions leads to the belief that aortic valves can be collected from traffic victims and other victims of fatal accidents and stored for as long as two months. THAT is to say: The time may come when spare parts depots for people can be provided much tho same as used parts salvaged from wrecked cars are now made available for those who want them. What next? TURNING from the business of saving lives to tha deadly business of destroying lives, two startling new weap ons have been tried out by our testing forces that hava been working out in the Pa cific. Both are for use against submarines in the unfortu nate event that we should get into a major war. One is known as the Asroc and tha other as the Subroc. The Asroc is a half-ton mis sile fired from a surface vessel-such as a destroyer, a cruiser or a frigate. It speeds through the air until it reach es the area where an enemy submarine is believed to be operating. Then it dives into the water and "homes in" on the enemy sub by following its sounds. When it gets close enough to its target its war head explodes-and that's that. THE subroc works some 1 what similarly, except for the fact that it is fired from a submerged submarine. It comes up out of the wa ter, travels through the air um" 11 SP5 mc funeral area where an enemy submarine is supposed to be, then re-enters the water and chases the enemy sub under the surface until it gets close enough to firea supposedly nuear charge, which KILLS the sub.
