The trad ing on that day was the highest since July 21, 1933 9,350,000 shares. The slide was the sharp est in a single day since Oct. 28, 1929; the slump was 34.95 points in the Dow-Jones industrial average. The experts are still disagreeing about why the market has been so bearish since mid-March. The consensus is that professional investors an ticipated something the ket has many sensitive it appears that as usual, in the neck. THE New York Stock leased interim findings in a study of the tre mendous activity of May 28, 29, and 31 (May 30 was a holiday and the exchange was closed). It was the busiest period since October, 1929. About 36 million shares were traded in the three days. And on balance, the small investor sold on the decline and bought on the rise. The profes sionals, naturally, bought on the rise. When the big creak from what the Exchange called "long-term in vestment accounts held by the public." The sellers were not necessarily all deed, the ratio of odd-lots trading to total trans actions 21.8 per cent was only slightly higher than the average for 1961. Odd lots are blocs fewer than 100 snares. They are the media of the small investor. A BOUT noon on Tuesday big investors surged into the market in search of bargains. The pattern of the trading allows no question that the small investor was selling. The Dow-Jones indus trial average rose 27.03 points on the day. The pattern held on the following day, when the Dow- jones industrial average Small investors have in another way.

E.R.R. A Tacit In his closing words the counsel for former Gen. Raoul Salan appealed to the military tribu nal to "protect the Iragile The incredible verdict, which appeared to have overruled a previous death sentence for Salan which had been pronounced in his absence, seems scarcely to have served that end. Neverthe less, the phrase has a whether applied to b ranee itselt or to Algeria. IXfHAT the world has witnessed in Algeria was a tacit armistice, fragile enough to crumble at any moment. Before the shooting was inter rupted, Moslems had been killed at the rate of 30 a day for the 10 weeks since the French had signed the Evian-les-Bains agreement with the Algerian Provisional Government last March 18. rF LATE the OAS appears to have given up its French Algeria policy for one of destruc tion, burning clown schools, blowing up buildings. The secret commandos now seem to be bent on driving the. Europeans back to France, where they figure to be a continuing source of embar rassment to De Gaulle. Some 3,000 Europeans born in Algeria have been arriving at Oi ly airport in Paris every day. Thousands land at French seaports in the weeks left before the Algerian referendum on July 1 at which independence is sure to be voted the French government plans to use 24 ships to carry the refugees and to furnish them 4,800 plane seats. During the last month leading up to the refer endum there was hope that European business men, professional men, and workers would recog nize their own investment in Algeria and turn from support of the OAS. Even so, the authori ties still appear to be hampered by the compla cence of the French police and the indifference of the French military professionals.

The Next Jesus To the Editor: The Gentile does not trust the Jew or Greek. The Apostle Paul saw this in his day. The next Jesus that will be preached will be Jesus, the son of the Holy Ghost, and not Jesus, the Christ, the son of David, Matthew chp. 1, y. 1, John chp. 5, v. 37, Acts chp. 26, v. 9. Jesus, the. Christ, is for the Jews and Greeks. There are some thnt claim to be Jews and are not, Rev. chp. 2, v. 9. in my opinion most preach ers and teachers of today are doing as Peter did (Galatians chp. 2, v. 11 to 14); they live as the Gentiles but teach oth ers to live as a religious per son ought to live, but they themselves do not.

Expresses Appreciation To the Editor: Mrs. Speegle and I would like to thank all of the wonderful people who helped so much during the tragic Stagecoach Orchards fire. We also wish to thank our many friends who gave help and offered hospitality after the fire. All of the fire departments deserve credit for their re sponse none of whom were obligated to come into the rur al area. The state department of forestry pumper and watch man were most welcome. The Telephone crew was on the scene and the Pacific Light and Power crow was very con siderate in restoring our pow er at a very lale hour. Wc do, however, especially wish to thank the Medford fire department for actually saving our home. Clnutft and Louise Speegle, Route 4, Box 317, Medford, MEDFORD Wyland, but eliminated an other $5,000 involving a tim ber option, v One mispresentation was found by both the lower and high courts. It was that the ranch included 1,000 acres of irrigated meadow land. The court said that in fact this was short by 410 acres and the defendant "could not have over-e stimated the amount of land devoted to hay raising by 400 acres in complete innocence." The de cision was written by Justice Gordon Sloan. . The ranch also includes 18,000 acres in grazing land leased from the federal gov ernment. The ranch is in the John Day valley, near Day- ville. In a 6-1 ruling, the court gave a fresh warning to mo torists who crash into the rear of another car. William A. Lehr won $7,- 275 for personal injuries suf fered when his car was hit in the rear in Portland. Lehr had stopped at a crosswalk because school chil dren were approaching it, and a truck owned by Gres ham Berry Growers rammed Lehr's vehicle. The majority opinion writ ten by Justice William Perry said that when two vehicles are going in the same direc tion and in the same lane, when the rear vehicle hits the forward vehicle "reason able minds can only conclude, in the absence of other cir cumstances, that the driver of the following car was guilty of failure to observe the statutory requirements." This is the case. Perry said, even though the forward car stops suddenly. McAllister Dissents Chief Justice William Mc Allister dissented, and he was joined by Justice Kenneth O'Connell. McAllister said the questions of negligence of both drivers and of cause should have been submitted to a Jury. The majority decision af firmed Multnomah County Circuit Judge Alfred T. Sul monctti.

MEDFORD, Two-Pronged Objective Noted Speeches Given Prior to Rusk By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Antlyst U. S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara has dis closed that in the coming fis cal year, the United States will spend $15 billion on nu clear weapons. It is an inter esting coincl- CViVa I dence that the 4B) I total French LU.,leJ budiet for J Newsom 1982 calls for an expenditure of just about the same amount. The comparison is note worthy because McNamara's disclosure came in a speech, delivered on the campus of the University of Michigan, which was aimed straight at President Charles de Gaulle and his determination to de velop his own nuclear weap ons system. McNamara's point was that such weapons not only are expensive but unless of a strength few nations can af ford, can neither prevent nor win a war and might even prove suicidal. At almost the same time, speaking at Concord, N. H., another high administration official was warning of the in creased risk of a war by ac cident. Secretary of State Dean Rusk told the New Hamp shire Council on World Af fairs that if the present up ward spiral of nuclear de structive power continues, by 1968 it could be double what it is today. The newest battle field, he said, could be in space. Both speeches were on ma jor public pronouncements and indicated a two-pronged objective. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises Inc. PEDSONAL PREJUDICES Some people pay a com pliment as if they expected change back; the only merit in a compliment is if it is con sidered as a gift, and not as a transaction. The most alarming aspect of modern life is that al most everything we do seems to have ihe opposite effect from what was in tended like building super-highways to make it easier for people to enter the city, and finding that it only makes it easier for them to leave the city. The "vanity of giving" is behind so-called "generosity"; and we have a right to sus pect all acts of philanthropy that are performed in public. It is much harder to starve love to death than to glut it to death) love's palate, like the appetite for food, is more easily ruined by a surfeit than by a scarcity. One of the briefest and most pungent character analy ses was made by Stephen Leacock, when he observed, "The minute a man is con vinced that he is interesting, he isn't." What keeps many people away from church is not the dogma or the deacon, but simply observing the con gregation during the rest of the week. When all the experts begin to agree, we can know by that sign that the time is ripe for some revolutionary concept; for in the history of thought, unanimity is always followed by its reversal and its eventual rout. Self-satisfaction is a form of spiritual miserliness; the self-satisfied man never spreads out his satisfaction to others: and. in fact, is extremely dissatisfied with them. The only happy men, voca- tionally speaking, are those who would do exactly what they are doing, even if they weren't paid for it. If people's pets could talk, there would be Just as many abandonments in ihe animal world as there are divorces and desertions in the human world. Amateur theatricals always seem so much better than they are because we attend them expecting the worst, and are relieved and gratified if they even approach the to! erable; if they charged pro fessional prices and we an ticipatcd professional stand ards, we would walk out in disgust. Speaking of plays, last week end reminded me of a trenchant line in one of Schnltsle r's comedies, where a character remarks, "Millions of people yearn for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sun day afternoon." When a man says. "I wasn't myself at the time," he may have been most himself. OREGON One was an attempt to ex plain to Europe, and particu larly to France, U. S. insis tence on central control of nuclear weapons within the Western alliance and the dangers involved in the de velopment of conflicting stra tegies. The other was to point out both to U. S. allies and the In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Democratic Senate Leader Mansfield and Republican Senate Leader Dirksen are able to see eye to eye on at least one subject - that the present mood of the country is one of UNEASINESS and uncertainty. They differ, how ever, as to the WHY of the un easiness and the uncertainty. Senator Mansfield says: "The people wonder why we aren't doing anything in congress. It s high time to get down to hard work and reach some final decisions on the President's proposals." Senator Dirksen says: "The people wonder (among other things) why the debt limit keeps going UP AND UP." THE debt limit goes UP AND UP because we SPEND AND SPEND and put too much of the spending on the cuff. The people's own experi ence tells them that's danger ous. They know that If they borrow and borrow and never pay back they'll eventually go broke. They can't escape the conclusion that IN TIME the same will be true in the case of government. Hence their uneasiness. AS THIS is written, it looks like the so-called Con servatives took a terrible beating in elections in Cana da. The count is far from com plete, but early reports tell of heavy losses by the con servatives and big gains by the so-called Liberals. The terms CONSERVA TIVE and LIBERAL have little meaning in Canada so far as indicating the beliefs and the policies of Canada's major political parties is con cerned. If anything, the Con servatives have been tending recently toward liberalism (as liberalism is politically under stood in these days) and the Liberals appear to have been leaning somewhat more to ward conservatism. HISTORICALLY, in Canada, the Conservatives Intro duced the protective tariff. The Liberals fought it. The Conservatives have been somewhat more inclined to follow the leadership of Brit ain, and the Liberals more in clined to strike out alone so far as Canada is concerned. Besides, the federal gov ernment of Canada follows the parliamentary pattern. which is quite different from our system. BUT This is (hp hir nnlni- The Conservatives have been in power. The Liberals have been out of power. oo- The election returns (assum ing that the early trend in the counting is sustained) indicates dissatisfaction in Canada with what is and has been. Indian Outposts Behind Red Lines New Delhi -TOPI- India has established four or five out posts behind the Communist Chinese lines in the disputed border areas of nortl.ern La- dakh, informed sources said today. Prime Minister Jawahnrlal Nehru told parliament Wed nesday that the Chinese had gone on the defensive in the area and "our movements are going behind the Chinese lines." The sources said Nehru ap proved forward probes by In- dian Border units shortly af ter the Indian conquest of Goa last winter. They said the Indian outposts have been es tablished to the east of the Chinese line of forward move ment, which cuts through La dakh in a northeasterly direc tion.

Soviet Union the increasing danger of war by accident as nuclear weapons know-how reaches more and more hands, and therefore the pressing need for disarmament agree ment. It surely was not by ac cident that both speeches were delivered on the eve of Rusk's departure for Europe and a new round of confer ences with the NATO allies. The United States consis Matter of Fact y (e) New York Herald TWO GRAND DESIGNS Washington-At long last, the Algerian tragedy really seems to be coming to an end. For the Unit ed States, this chiefly means the opening of a new era in the far from easy relation ship between President Kennedy and President Alsnp Charles de Gaulle. The point is that de Gaulle's freedom action was always limited, as long as the grim Algerian problem remained unsolved. But now that the killing has ceased in Algeria, de Gaulle is entirely free to try to real ize his highly personal design for Europe. In addition, the large French army will also, in the main, be set free by the Al gerian peace. This is highly important, since de Gaulle means to use his army as a crucial counter in his Euro pean game. The French divi sions are to be used, not to meet France's commitment to NATO, but to give credibility to de Gaulle's arguments for the eventual creation of a strictly European defense sys tem, without NATO's depend ence on the U.S. N THE same fashion, the French nuclear program is also intended to serve as the embryo for an eventual Eu ropean deterrent, with or without British cooperation, but once again independent of the American deterrent. De Gaulle has in fact long had the idea at the back of his mind, that as soon as the power of France could be disentangled from Algeria, the pooled strength of the Western European nations would be sufficient to con stitute a third giant power. De Gaulle will now attempt to lay the foundations of this new giant power, complete with its own nuclear deter rent, comparable in magni tude to the U.S. or Soviet Un ion, and independent of both. He can hardly complete his grand design in the years that remain to him, but it is very clear indeed that he means to go forward as fast as his European partners, and par ticularly the West Germans, will allow him to. Gaulle design stick in the craws ot President Kennedy and his policy-makers. On the one hand, they are firmly convinced that the existing world balance makes the de fense of Western Europe just as important for the United States as the defense of ac tual American territory. Thus they are convinced that the U.S. must always share in West Europe's defenses. On the other hand and far Try and By BENNETT CERF- TI TANAGEMENT memo pinned on the bulletin board of a t,X paper-box factory: The Management of this organiza tion, after due and careful consideration of certain regret table practices which have recently been brought to its attention, is desirous of again re minding you of the fact which has, of course, been pointed out on sev eral previous occasions but which nevertheless has apparently been over looked or ignored by an a 1 1 - t o o - preponderant proportion of our present personnel that all mem bers of this organization should make an earnest, sincere, continuous and persistent effort to eschew and avoid all excessive wordiness,! repetitive phraseology, unnecessarily complicated sentenco structure, lengthy, involved, or obscure paragraphs, and other tautological andor grammatical errors to indite oe transcribe an internal communication of any nature whatso-1 ever to one or more fellow employes.

It can be taken as certain that the Rusk visit will change neither De Gaulle's nuclear program nor his pres ent determination to boycott disarmament talks. Joseph Altop Tribune Syndicate more important, the President and those around him ara deeply dismayed by the pros pect of an additional nuclear power, whether French, or Franco-German, or Western European, which is not tied to the United States in the manner of British nuclear power. At the same time, the Ken nedy policy-makers recogniza that de Gaulle will not sus pend his nuclear program, just because Secretary of De fense Robert McNamara warned him that "additional national nuclear forces oper ating independently" will ba "dangerous, expensive, prona to obsolescence, and lacking in credibility" as deterrents which was how McNamara put it at Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday. The result, therefore, is a Kennedy grand design, intended to compete for European adherents with the de Gaulle grand design. TTNDER the Kennedy grand V design, NATO will ba strengthened, and not just on the ground. With American assistance, a European deter rent will also be created; but this European deterrent will be quite unlike de Gaulle's. It will in fact be firmly linked to the American deter rent, it will not be usable without American approval; and in return, certain limi tations will be accepted on the free use of the American deterrent. Just how these limitations are to be drawn up, or to be enforced, is very far from clear. "Guide lines" agreed upon with the Western Euro peans, controlling what the President of the United States may or may not do with our deterrent, are one of the de vices under consideration. The arguments for this grand design are basically simple. It is accepted that the Europeans will not remain in definitely content to found their whole defense system on a nuclear deterrent under exclusive American control. It is agreed, therefore, that there must be a European de terrent of some sort, which will at least be preferable to several more national deter rents. It is considered, finally, that any limitations to be im posed on this European de terrent must at least appear to be balanced by reciprocal restrictions on the U.S. deter rent. These are all valid argu ments. But unless the "guida lines" device is almost mirac ulously ingenious, the new grand design effect ivply means the American deterrent will be placed under the con trol of an international com-mittee-which is a strong counter-argument, at least in this country. This is a story, in fact, which is barely be ginning. And no man can now foresee this story's end. Stop Me O O O
