O MONDAY, MAY 28. 1962 German Butlers Barter Chancellor Adenauer of (West) Germany and the (East) German Democratic Republic are much like two austere householders who coldly refuse to speak to each lers to haggle to mutual advantage, lhe two Germanys have been doing business together for more than a decade, but pretty much at the pantry level. Witness the agreement of last Dec. 29, renew' ing the trade pact between the otherwise estrang ed brother states. The about half a billion dollars a year in bilateral trade, observed : After sufficient possibilities were found in the course of negotiation for the continuation of con tractually regulated economic relations, the heads of the delegations agree to put into effect on Jan. 1, 1961, the Berlin agreement of Sept. 20, 1951, with all sup plementary agreements and annexes including the agreement of Aug. 16, 1960. MOW West Germany is reported in a frankly ' speculative story by Henry L. Trewhitt of the "Baltimore Sun's" Bonn bureau to be consid ing a massive loan, in the nature of $250 million to $500 million, to East Germany. East Germany's troubles in getting food and consumer goods are well known. So is East Germany's economic de pendence on free West Germany, despite help from the Soviet Union and the Communist bloc. For example, production of potatoes, the very staple of the East German last year. Ulbricht in fact lease some of the pressure vise. Present East German amounts to about $500 million in goods in both directions annually. This is equal to only about 2.4 per cent of West Germany's total, but is some 11 per cent of East Germany's foreign trade. Without West German steel, hundreds of East German factories would TPHE loan to East Germany would have a quid pro quo for certain. This is reported to be a more reasonable attitude on Western access to Berlin on the viability of the city. This would include a guarantee of reasonably free access to the autobahnen, which of course would remain in East German hands. As a practical matter, Ulbricht controls surface traffic, though access to Berlin by air is free of supervision, if not of harassment. Ironically, East Germany depends on West German railroad cars for much of its foreign trade transport. It has a similar shipment de pendence on West German barges which traverse its rivers'and canals. "THE economic interdependence between East nnri Wpsr. rtormnnv miiv in lurn-n nnrr. pvnlmn Chancellor Adenauer s ward American proposals lin. American relations with West Germany and France as "Reynolds News" of Great Britain has pointed out, have rarely been so strained since the end Germany is now reported solely on the basis that the four occuping powers will continue supreme, with West and hast Ger many only competent to carry out delegated au thority. This essentially is a remain on the pantry level. Perhaps, to speculate, this is Adenauer's basic design, looking toward an economic linking of West and East Germany that would require eventually some sort of po litical accommodation even federation. 1 here is room for hope in this direction: butlers are often shrewd hagglers. E.R.R. Our Richer Presidents On Tuesday, May 29 be a year older and, presumably, close to $3 mil lion richer. Joseph P. Kennedy in 1926, 1936 and 1949 established trust funds for each of his children. The combined value of the trusts conies to about $100 million, so the seven children would each be worth more than $10 million. John F. Kennedy received direct ownership of one-fourth the principal of his trust funds when he reached the age of 40. Now, when he turns 4o, he is reported to be eligible for a second one-fourth, bringing the total to over $5 million. At present, in the estimate of press secretary Pierre Salinger, the President received about $100,000 a year after taxes from the trusts, plus another $h0,000 from his personal investments. (The Kennedys are notably reticient about talk ing of their money. Joseph P. Kennedy, the found er of the fortune, once said: "Don't ask how much I'm worth. It's none of your damned business.") HTHEN, as President, J.F.K. receives $100,000 a VA'li' cillli.H't irt innmmi fnv a nmitovilila allowance for travel and entertainment of $10, 000 a year, and a taxable allowance of $50,000. At that, Jack Kennedy is probably not our richest President. Herbert Hoover, another who doesn't publicly discuss his money affairs, is enormously wealthy. In all public offices he gave his salary to charity. The two Roosevelts inherited wealth; T.R. left an estate of about $800,000 and F.D. one of about $1 million. Dwight Eisenhower is comfortably circumstanced he is supposed to be worth more than $1 million. Both Calvin Coolidge and Harry 8. Truman were "poor" while in office; both made substantial sums by writing after leaving. Others have fared not nearly so well. Wood row Wilson was physcially broken when he lft the White House arid so unable to look for new sources of income.

General Butler To the Editor: I read with pained interest and amaze ment the letter from Ray Prichard of Central Point re lating what purports to be Smedley D. Butler's sarcastic analysis of his 33 years service as an officer in the U.S. Ma rine Corps. It would have you believe that the U.S. Marines instead of being our most honored group of fighting men were an assembly of "American guerillas" used for dubious and personal objec tives by our own capitalistic politicos. That's not the General Smedley D. Butler I know per sonally! Early in 1918, hand picked Marines landed at Brest, the great seaport of the A. E. F. It rained for 30 days and we had to sleep in our clothes it was so cold. There was little water so we shaved in an ex tra cup of coffee and were black from the neck down. We wer( undoubtedly the most combat-ready U.S. Regi ment in the A. E. F. and our General Butler truly the "Stormy Petrel" of the Ma rine Corps protested our detention. He also protested the mud, no baths for over a month and the general condi tion of this great A. E. F. center. He embarrassed "high er brass!" General Pershing became angry and, instead of ordering us up to the front where we truly belonged ahead of all else curtly demanded that General Butler stay in Brest and make it sanitarily habit able for the A. E. F. and dis banded this most excellently recruited of all A. E. F. regi ments. This last morning he solemnly told us the sad news that we were not going to the front and ended his dramatic address with, "And even if they put us to building out houses, men show them we can do it much better than the Army." General Butler and our headquarters com panies who stayed in Brest did such an excellent job in rehabilitating that all-important seaport and later embar kation point that he was al most as highly honored by General Pershing and others as though we had reached the front. General Smedley Butler was never a racketeer or cap italist tool, but a stormy and most excellent officer. May his stormy soul rest In peace. Semper Fidelis, William T. Cuddy V. A. Domiciliary White City, Ore. In Good Faith To the Editor: The signifi- can point in the recent revers al by the Supreme Court of contempt convictions against six citizens who refused to answer questions by the H.U.A.C. and the S I S S. is contained in the following quotation from a statement by Justice Stewart. "This court has never decided whe ther the indictment must iden tify the subject which was under inquiry at the time of the defendant's alleged de fault or refusal to answer He then stated that the court is now holding that the in dictment must contain such an averment, and for this rea son the judgment against the six had to be reversed. The significance of this statement lies In the fact that no Congressional committee has authority to make an in vestigation except for the spe cific purpose of accumulating information for the use of its briflich of Congress in writing taws. In nnoction with this same case, Justice Douglas said that the New York Times had been a prime target for at MEDFORD MAIL least one of these investiga tions, and such an investiga tion is obviously illegal since Congress is barred by provi sion of the Constitution from passing laws to restrict either the press or religion. Friends of the H.U.A.C., in particular, have boasted that its most im portant service has been ex posure for exposure's sake. In many cases it, and other Con gressional committees, have conducted investigations the clear purpose of which was to expose to public calumny and loss of employment peo ple whose only offense was the holding and public expres sion of unorthodox views. Since such exposures, the Senate Rackets hearing in Portland a few years ago and the shameful attempt of the H.U.A.C. to discredit the teachers and pupils of Cali fornia schools by the publica tion of a fictitious film, for example, could in no way fur nish information on which Congress could base the en actment of laws, such hear ings could have no purpose but to destroy freedom of thought and expression by in timidation. These freedoms are among the most precious rights of the American 'people and no force has done more to destroy them than the ille gal actions of certain Congres sional committees, i It is high time the Ameri can people throw off the hys teric fears of the last 15 years and reassert traditional free doms of American citizenship. Only by reasserting our faith in the Constitution ana laws of the United States can we, in good faith, demand sucn freedoms for other people around the world. D.

Harris (c Field Enterprises Inc. GIRLS AND NAMES Have you ever noticed that girls like to change their first names, while boys almost nev er do? Little girls as young as four or five often want to be called by some other name, which they deem pre 1 1 i e r or more glamor o u s. Barbie Haris has been go ing through this phase lately. Each week she hits Mpon a new name, and will respond only to it. She has decided that "Barbara" is not (or her, and has tried out a dozn oth ers for size. It would never occur to Mi chael to change his name. One name is as good as another to him, as long as it isn't out landish or cumbersome. He doesn't want to be anyone else but himself. It may sound far-out io you, but I'm convinced that girls do this largely because a part of ihem does not want to be a girl, but a boy. They are secretly envious of boys, and the casting around for a new nam is really a surreptitious way of trying to discard their femininity. It is much harder io be a girl than a boy; more is ex pected of them. They are supposed to be more pas sive, more quiescent, neat er, less rebellious, less phys ical, in a way. But their basic biologic needs are just as great as a boy's. Because girls are gener ally more repressed, they develop a keen resentment of boys, coupled with an un conscious desire to change their sex. Otherwise, why would they be openly dis satisfied with the names they have been given? A child knows nothing about lhe desirability of one name over another; there is no objective reason for such dissatisfaction, It is my theory that this name-changing behavior is a covert way of expressing the desire to be a boy. A girl can not openly ask to be called Tom or Joe or Ed. but she can pick some other feminine name that implies a rejection of her own identity. She wants to be somebody else, and pre tends that the somebody else is another girl-but, really, it is a boy. To those who find this theory absurdly far-fetched, I can only pose the question: why do young 'joys not do the same thing? They are not dis satisfied with their identity, they do not want different names or different looks or different personalities. Nor mally, a boy is totally unself conscious about such matters until he is well into adoles cence. When Freud suggested such deep-seated envy on the part of girls, more thnn 40 years ago, he wa9 hooted down by all the traditional psycholo gists. But anyone who has l.iid serious attention to small female children cannot escape the fme conclusion: in our society, at least, the girl feels herself bound as an inferior almost from birth, and wants desperately to emulate and overtake the male.

Otherwise, they feel they would be faced with an un controllable flood of illegal migrants into Hong Kong, Washington Report By William (el United Featura Syndicate NO TUT -TUTS Washington -The Alice-in- Wonderland justice of the present United Nations is not merely con doning but ac tually assist ing a naked assault upon a western pow er which is an American al ly, The Neth erlands. This is the inescap- wtiif able" meaning of the refusal of the U.N. sec retary general, U Thant of Burma, to lift a finger against the open invasion of Dutch West New Guinea by another of the sacred bulls of the Or ient, President Sukarno of Indonesia. For in declining even to ask the Indonesians please to halt their maurading paratroop forces-lest this should suggest that he was "taking sides"-U Thant has in fact encouraged Sukarno before the whole world to go ahead and do his worst. And lest he "take sides," U Thant will not even send a U.N. observer to the scene. Sukarno thus happily joins Prime Minister Nehru of In dia, another famous "neutral ist" and ex-colonial preacher of "peace," in the club of au tomatically protected aggres sion which United Nations "policy" is raising up in Asia and Africa. But though a junior mem ber of the club in point of time, Indonesia really must be said to hold the senior mem bership in truth. For when Nehru overran the tiny Portu guese colony of Goa, the U.N. at least made smali tish-tish noises. But to Sukarno, Mr. U Thant, the embodied voice of "the conscience of mankind," utters no tut-tuts whatever. To the contrary, he says in sub stance to Sukarno: "Go get 'em." In this shameful, this unbe lievable, scene what does the United States do for its allies, the Dutch? We provide the services as intermediary of a retired American diplomat, Ellsworth Bunker. He is an able and honorable man; but his mission is doomed to hope less futility. For Sukarno, in seizing a country which is no part of Indonesia and is wholly unre lated to it in language, has a dozen times shown what he thinks of "mediation" and ne gotiation. His repeatedly stat ed position has been that he will "negotiate" with the Dutch on one condition-that they first consent,' in advance, to hand over West New Guinea to him. So the Dutch now stand all alone. The Australians, who will live to see the day when West New Guinea in Sukar no's hands will threaten Aus tralian New Guinea as well, would like to help. But they are unwilling to go it alone to assist the Dutch, for the very good reason that they cannot contemplate what this would Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF 4 TV BAND DIRECTOR in New York is famed for doing his work in less time than any of his competitors and the other day a new man in the saxophone department found out why.

A new and deadlier1 round of border incidents is expect ed along the Communist wall in Berlin in the wake of last week's shooting exchange be tween East and West Berlin policemen. When the Commu nists wounded a 15-year-old boy escaping to the West, the Western police fired at the S. White bring: the shrill condemna tion of that "conscience of mankind," the United Nations, which has already loaded the dice of history against any and every western power which may now or later fall under the displeasure of the ex-colonial lands. Perhaps we, the United States, might ourselves be willing to do something, ex cept for this. But while the ex-colonial powers have the world and the U.N. by the tail in a downhill pull, it is still conceivable that at last they will overreach themselves. In the U. S. senate, as well as elsewhere, there is a deep stir ing of wrath against the pro gressive perversion of a great institution, the United Na tions, into an agency of sick hypocrisy and racial dema goguery. Already this has been shown in the unprecedented vote of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a mandatory 10 per cent cut in aid planned for India, as a public rebuke to Nehru. And a member of that committee, Senator Thomas Dodd of Con necticut, is demanding an in quiry into what is happening in West New Guinea. Maybe it won't come now; but come it will some day, on this or another issue of ag gression by the ex-colonials. Critical examination of this kind may be the only way to save the United Nations from the self-destructive folly of a present course which makes a crude parody of right and jus tice.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The dramatic moment of Astronaut Carpenter's whiz zing flight around the earth came when his space ship overshot its target and plop ped into the ocean some 250 miles from its landing target -where ships were waiting to rescue him. He was saved by a relative ly simple little j 1 g g e r - a HOMING beacon that enabled the rescue fleet to locate him. Otherwise he might have per ished - in which event his fan tanstic flight would have end ed in tragic disaster. T ITTLE things can be SO important - as Benjamin Franklin pointed out when in his Poor Richard's Almanao he said (borrowing from George Herbert's Jacula Pru dentum): "A little neglect may breed mischief: For want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; for want of a horse the rider was lost." AT BOSWORTH Field, King Richard III carried the thought a little farther when he lost his horse and cried in anguish: "A horse, a horsel MY KINGDOM for a horse!" He didn't have the horse, and lost his kingdom - and his life. THE MORAL: X Don't neglect the LITTLE things. ASTRONAUT Carpenter's trip took four hours and 56 minutes. He went three times around the earth. We learn from the dispatches that the NEXT trip may in clude five, six or even maybe seven times around. After that may come a 17-orbit trip that will keep the space ship aloft for 24 hours. A FTER that, what? Well, that morning Dr. Brainerd Holmes, chief of the NASA lunar research pro gram, looked the reporters in the eye and said. "As sure as we're sitting here, and with the backing of the people, and with God's help, WE'LL HAVE A MAN ON THE MOON IN THIS DECADE." VHAT NEXT? " Here's a thought: We might get so busy ex ploring the cosmos that wa would LOSE INTEREST IN WAR! THERE'S a hint of that in the news. A dispatch from Ge neva says: "The United States and the Soviet Union JOINTLY pro posed to the 17-nation disarm, ament conference today a declaration that WAR CAN NO LONGER SERVE AS A METHOD OF SETTLING IN TERNATIONAL DISPUTES." TOO rosy, you say? A Perhaps. But you can't stop a from dreamin'. guy Music Supervisor Writes Artich la An article entitled, "Work shops Work Wonders," writ ten by Dr. Justin L. Dyrud, vocal music supervisor of the Medford public schools, ap pears in the May, 1962 issue of the Oregon Education, of ficial publication of the Ore gon Education association. His article is a report of an experiment in teacher im provement in elementary classroom music conducted by Dr. Dyrud and the Medford school district. It shows the result of a diagnostic survey to establish strengths and weaknesses of music teaching in Medford elementary schools. Preparation and sur vey for the course was made over two years. After that the course was given to teachers desiring such assistance. Pictures of the preparation of materials for music edu cation by the Jackson countv .curriculuna, center undor the direction of James McDonald were lso shown. McDonald worked with Dyrud in estab lishing materials for this experiment.
