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.

The election this time signifies that a new

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

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.

SQUELCHS
Sitting and suffering for
hours at a deadly banquet the

late Dr. Rob

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

steeled to boldness by the
evergreen memory of Dr. Mil

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.

the absence of a certain editor
from the lake was. we are
sure, only a coincidence.

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.

government had

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

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

policy of neutrality which has
paid off so well.

Washington Report

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

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.

; se of right-wing charges of

men. These accusations, too.
could have been infinitely
harmful to the adminijration

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.

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.
IO awful to consider?
Well- Q
Maybe- u
When war gets ton danger
ous to be risked, there will
be no mofjpwr.
