The lecturer pointed out that, prior to World War II, there was an organization called the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, which per formed a useful function name implies. (One suspects that there would still be a good field for such an organization. The Institute at one time issued a list of seven devices commonly used in propaganda cam paigns. THEY were these: 1. Name calling. (Call your opponent an ob jectionable name which will discredit him with his listeners, e.g., "pinko," "leftist," or "radical" of right or left.) 2. Glittering generalities. (Make sweeping -t: n.i iu: v, r; Claims j.ur ur agaiiiM, suuieuini;, e.g., we rving- Anderson bill will lead to socialized medicine.") 3. Transfer device. (Attempt to identify your cause with something or someone eminently re spectable or honored, e.g., "let us return to the Constitution.") 4. Testimonials. (Get respected or well- known people to speak out on your side.) 5. Plain folks. (Approach your subject from the "common man's" standpoint: decry high- falutin' experts and "outsiders.") 6. Card stacking. endos, if necessary, that are difhcult to retute without a lot of detail and documentation, e.g., "Have you stopped beating your wife?") 7. Bandwagon technique. (Let it be known that "everyone s on our go along with the cioowd. ) a A FTER the lecture, a colleague went up to the " professor and said, "That was a fine discus sion of election techniques." He was right, of course, for one or more of these devices are used in just about every politi cal campaign we've ever witnessed. Each sf them is, of itself, legitimate, with the possible exception of name calling and card stacking, and even these, if used without excess or rancor or viciousness, can be legitimately em ployed. Anyone who wishes can take this list of seven devices and, with its help, analyze the tactics employed in any given political campaign. We saw all of them in use dui'ing the recent Home Rule Charter election, for exluflple,, , c THE fact tfiat these techniques are used is not, they sometimes are applied. Politics is a rough and tumble game, at best, but that offers no ex cuse for dirty tactics. The political arena is quiescent at the mo ment, takinir a breather after the primary elec tion. But it won't be long until avid candidates, and proponents and opponents of th.e many measures to be deckte! this fall, start warning up again. We suggest that a realistic. appraisal of can didates and issues would be facilitated by an ob jective examination of the techniques employed not so much in determining what propagan da devices are employed, but how they are em ployed. E. A. Americas Noble Titles "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States; and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the congress, accept any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."-From Article I, Section 9, Constitu tion of the United States of America. Americans, barred by the Constitution from titles of nobility or royalty in their official life, seem to take delight in bestowing them unoffi cially. No blossom festival, no pea harvest celebra tion, no rodeo or even nudist convention, seems to be complete without its "queen" and "prin cesses." "Kings" and "princes" are not wholly unknown, either, usually youngsters of an ap pealing age to touch maternal instincts. In America's lodges, titles proliferate, from Exalted Ruler on through the gamut of honorific appelations to the cooties, lady bugs and swamp lizards of the veterans auxiliaries. WHY is it that Americans, who are so jealous of their rights in a democracy, so dedicated to the proposition that one man is as good as another in the eyes of the law, and that special privilege should' attach to none, why is it that they are willing nay, eager to bestow high sounding titles in their private affairs? Why is it that they follow with eager interest the doings of a Queen Elizabeth, a Princess Mar garet, an ex-Queen Soroya, or the Duke and Duchess of Windsor? It is, as the King of Siam might say, a puzzle ment. E. A. Committee of One I Our own Potpourri and the Corvallis Gazette j Times editor recently discussed the proliferation 'of organizations, and discussed the possibility j of setting up another one which would pass on ! the merits of all the others. But who, they mused, ; would have the courage to serve on it? Ami who would pay any attention anyway? i No, each person has to constitute himself as j a committee of one to pass on the worthiness of such groups, as they affect him personally, and Ithen loin or not join as he himself decides. I Its both easier and ploasanter to say "no" I to one's self than to others. Also safer. E. A.

The stock market break is bri n g i n g him some anx ious Havs this sDrine. as the collapse of the effort of- the Cuban patriots to oust Fidel Castro brougnt to mm iai spring. The Breat difference is that ih President readily accept ed the ultimate responsibility fift the Cuban misadventure, nut hp rinps not now accept n,iu hlamr. for the recent vey 'sharp declines on the stock market. Indeed, he sees me declines, to a point, as more or less inevitable. THIS judgment - wmcn ot course would not hold should the market go on down and down - is based on conclusions, in fact, shared in part by some leading Wall Street figures, including the famous House of Bache and company. Thatis, the Presi dent agrees with most market analysts that stock prices simply had long been too high anyhow relative to the return to stockholders in dividends. The President goes on, how ever, to another conclusion by no means so widely shared within business itself. This is that the investing community has finally realized that in flation has been halted and accordingly is now betting against any progressive heightening in prices gener ally. And, curiously enough, he also agrees, in a wry way and to a degree, with the asser tion of many businessmen that some of the troublci springs from a "lack of con fidence." e THE President concedes that a "lack of confidence" in him does exist in some busi- nncc .-irfloH Rnl thi vitnl His. tinction is that in ?iis mind this disturbed view of him is wholly unwarranted. He sees himself as being looked upon by business as though he were another Franklin D. Roosevelt, whereas his own estimate is that he is a thou j sand miles away from Roose velt In his real attitude to- I ward business. I He sees himself as distinct- 1 ly pro-business. And he snorts i in tired derision at sugges tions heard here and there that there may be some "so cialist vein In him. This, he believes, springs from a high- ly excited notion that because I some professors are in lesser places In the administration , these professors must be run ning economic policy. The , P'esident makes it abundantly i clear that they are doing nothing of the sort. He pauses i to observe with emphasis that ! his chief economic adviser is ! himself a Wall Street Ropubl- lican who served in the Eisen hower administration. Secre tary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon. HE ALSO waves away as excited nonsense the sug gestions of sumo ultra-liberal Democrats that some mysteri ous "they" who are supposed to control Wall Street are do pressing the market in the hope of defeating Democratic concrrssional ennduiates this fall. Silly Is the word for this sort of suspicion, in his view. So, in the end. it all comes to this: the President thinks "luck of confidence" in a time of high prosperity is an irrational slogan arising r.ot from facts but from vague S. White and unreal suspicious leading to excessive timidity among some business people. This is where his frustration enters - this and a feeling that some times it is hard for a fellow to win, either way, consider ing that at this very moment he is by no means the top hero of organized labor, either. Whether Mr. Kennedy is right or wrong in all of this, this columnist does not even pretend to know. But does Mr. Kennedy himself really believe it? Or this, oge who taws lone to tne President himself can have no reasog able doubt. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From New York-At 8:15 PDT Thursday a.m., which was 11:15 a.m. EDT. (When you talk about time in these days, you have to explain WHOSE TIME.)

Several stocks opened more than $3 higher on big blocks of ORDERS IN HAND when trading opened at 10 a.m. after the Memorial 13ay Holiday respite.

Ten points up and he has made a million. The other side of the coin: Every point DOWN means a LOSS of $100,000 and every ten points down means the LOSS of a million. But who with nerve enough to lay $11 V4 million on the line would thiflk of a thing like that at this moment in history? VOW one from Washingtan: Kennedy administration spokesmen go to Capitol Hill to argue for an $8 billion increase in the national debt -which is now $300 billion. Treasury Secretary Dillon and Budget Director Bell are likely to face, from the Re publican lide of the house ways and l.ieans committee, a sharp grilling! on adniinistra- I tion economit policies. The emphasis may be on any pos I sible responsibility for the recent plummeting of the stock market. THIE Washington d i s pa t ch adds: However, the ways and means committee, the house i of r pr-ntativcs and the ; senate are expected ultimate I ly to approve the debt limit I increase. Congress has period I ically increased the debt j limit, always honoring treas- m y requests made on the ' basis that without the leeway ef a heightened ceiling the i administration would have to ! resort to "awkward and cx- pensive financial devices-or possibly even LEAVE BILLS UNPAID." HMMMMMM.M.MM. There is always the de vice of SPENDING LESS. But. In these modem days, no administration could be ex pected to think of an old fashioned device like that. Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann (e New York Herald Tribune Syndicate CHANGE IN THE EAST There is not likely to be i any serious controversy in this j country about supplying food to the hungry Chinese. There is a great surplus of food here and the sto ries of hunger and misery have aroused i m mediately the old Amer ican feeling Lippmann for the Chinese people. Oui- disputes with the Com munist regime and its viru lent campaign of hatred have covered, but they have by no means extinguished, the sym pathy, one might also say the affectionate prejudice, that goes back to the days of the clipper ships and the mission aries and the exchange of stu dents. This country is able and willing to help and few if any among us are willing to exploit the misery as a weap on in the political conflict. Mercy and charity, we feel, are their own best reward. There is, however, some dis cussion as to whether we should take the initiative, I whether we should offer to sell and give food to China, or whether we should wait for an invitation from the Red Chinese government. The po sition at the moment is that at last week's press confer- l ence the President all but invited the Chinese govern ernment to send us an invita tion. His intentions could be made clearer through diplo matic channels. But the Presi dent can hajdly offer food to the mainland Chinese govern ment unless he knows that the offer will not be rebuffed. This does not mean that we would let the hungry starve unless the Chinese govern ment comes to us hat in hand. There are other ways of or ganizing relief which do not require direct dealing between Peiping and Washington. The relief could be done by an inter national organization, perhaps by an agency of the United Nations, operating through the International Red Cross, to which the United States could contribute food for the mainland as we are already contributing food for the refugees in Hong Kong. TT MAY be that the agricul- tural disaster and the in dustrial slowdown are pro ducing so much chaos and re sistance that radical changes in the external relations of China will follow. We do not now know enough about all this to reach a reliable judg ment, and it is only prudent to assume that at whatever cost in human misery, the Red regime will ride out the trouble. It' is safest to suppose that China is in a phase of its rev olution similar to that which Russia was in during the '20s. If so, China will for some time be hostile to all its neighbors while it is engaged in a ruthless struggle to make its economy a going concern. If this is correct, it is use less to woo Peiping or to threaten it. It will not be de flected by the wooing and it will only be made more vio lent by being threatened. The policy is to contain cRod China to prevent it from expanding and to avoid provoking it. It may be many 3-ears before China has evolved to a point Respect For Medical By ERIC SEVAREID In 1936 I was a cub report er covering a national conven tion of physicians and sur geons in Saint Si Paul. One of t h e ' pers ran a t straw vote in ithe conven- tion hall, test- ing the Presi- oennai preier- Jv,i ence of the ijiijj medical pro- f varria fession. The result was so overwhelmingly in favor of Alt Landon over F D R. that when the national vote was in that November. I wondered if Landon. who had called Social Security a "cruel hoax." had received ALL his votes from the medi cal profession. The convention panels and lincheons bristled with de nunciations of virtually every thing Roosevelt was trying to do in those dreadful years of paralysis and fear At t h e closing dinner.

"Doc j tor Charlie" Mayo was called on. He cleared his throat, look i ed at the floor and mumbled. where a different relationship is possible. e e OUR own China policy has matured during the past ten years. For one thing, we have giv en up the notion that main land China is going to be re conquered by an offensive staged from Formosa. That standing provocation has been reduced to zero, and the ad ministration has every inten tion, I believe, of keeping it at zero. Secondly, we have learned the lesson of Gen. MacAr thur's disastrous march to the Yalu river in the Korean war, which is that the Red Chinese will react violently and con vulsively to the presence of United States military power on their frontier. We are now applying what we learned in Korea to what confronts us in Laos. We had scrapped the notion, long cher ished in some Washington cir cles, that Laos could and should be made into an Amer ican "bastion" up against the Chinese frontier. We are now ready to settle for a neutral Laos, which does not mean a Laos with a government that is mathematically equidistant between Senator Goldwater and Mao Tse-tung. It means rather a Laos which tries to avoid entangling alliances and to live a quiet life. e e THE changes in our own policy are running parallel with changes in the relation between Red China and India on the one hand and between Red China and the Soviet Un ion on the other. This change manifested itself last autumn in the UN debate about the admission of Red China. We had in it a comfortable ma jority which felt as we do, not on the question of seating Red China, but on our refusal to expel Nationalist China. Even more imDortantly, the change is manifesting itself in Southeast Asia. The striking and extraor dinary feature of the situation there is that we are dealing with the Soviet Union, which is about as far away from Southeast Asia as we are, rather than with Red China which is on the frontier. It looked very much as if the Russians were acting in this area in order that they, and not the Red Chinese, should play the deciding role in deal ing with us. THERE is fair reason to sup pose that the Russians are working to prevent a Chinese Aijierican conflict which could lead to war. In such a war they would be faced with the choice of abandoning their ally or of fighting the United States. In order to prevent such a war they seem to be using such influence as they have, which is not omnipotent, to further the neutralization of L,aos, ana eventually or an the southern borderlf.ends fac ing Red China. It is not un A u 1 a'lll(JUl laill, lb SCTC1113 LU lllc that they are even preparing to soil MIGs on easy terms to India, which is struggling to contain the expansion of Red China. I So it may not be going too 1 far to say that under the pres- sure of Chinese expansionary actions in the north against the Soviet Union, against In dia in the south, and against SontheayA Asia there is coming into being a de facto coalition to contain the ex pansion. "What my brother just said well, I agree with him." The audience couldn't very well withhold applause from the Mayo Brothers, but it was faint and frosty. Since then I've had a hard time believing that the A.M.A. was a tight little politico-medico bureaucracy misrepresent ing the majority views of its membership; and I've never ceased to be puzzled by the attitude of most doctors, whose work is so intensely personal, toward the public place and responsibility of their profession. Having been ill or injured in a variety of countries, I'm sure they're the best-trained doctors in the world. They work with the suffering ail day lone: they overwork them selves for charitable purposes; they did wonders during the war. a They know perfectly well what hospital costs are doing to family life-savings in the most tragic manner. Yet ev ery time a political lrader proposes a social answer to what is clearly a general, eco nomic problem, they slam down an intellectual iron cur tain, and propaganda replaces the civilized search for solu tions. There are doctors who charge brutal fees, doctors POTLUCCC (By M-T Staff and Contributors) Dear Earnest: Well, things have been pretty quiet around here since the election. The city and the county have both completed their budgets, and all that remains is for them to be published, and for the public hearings. The city, as usual, just bare ly scraped through wit'i the amount of money available, and the city manager warned that it cannot go on indefi nitely this way without either finding new sources of rev enue, or cutting down on city services - such things as po lice and fire protection, street maintenance, and parks and recreation and library serv ices. The county, as usual, squeezed every possible dollar out of the budget, and wound up with a healthy surplus, despite the impassioned pleas of some divisions and depart ments for more money. They also salted away a couple of hundred thousand bucks for future reference. It looks as though the health department is goingjo get its clinic building, al though there is some dispute as to where it should go. And the auditorium-stadium business keeps popping up again. Now if the two groups ever get together, and work out a combination plan, pos sibly in conjunction with the school district, which is going to have to build a new high school sooner or later, maybe something could be done. But don't hold your breath. As you know, the ratio be tween hot air and solid ac complishment in this area is about six billion to one. But shucks, it's that way every where, isn't it? And besides, quite a few good things have been ac complished in Medford and Jackson county over the years.
