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.

This essentially is a

this is Adenauer's basic design, looking toward
an economic linking of West and East Germany

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

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.

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.

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.

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. O

Washington Report
By William

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

Berlin Incidents .
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

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'.
