But there are lessons to lie learned and rclearned. In recent itinerant roving from the Pacific to Portland to the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue Valleys, to the High Desert of central Oregon, the high Cascades, and the parklike Ponderosa forests east of the mountains, we learned and relearned; discovered and rediscovered--a few things. Our activities included building a sand castle on the beach, late-night talk with good friends too-seldom seen, mowing lawns and burning trash, lying under the stars and listening to the flow of mountain water, playing silly word games around the campfire, watching the Navy sail down the Willamette, seeing the baby elephant at the Portland zoo, driving freeways at 70 miles per hour, and reading long, undisturbed hours of reading books a rare treat. flHAT did we learn or relearn; discover or rediscover? First, that we would rather live in Oregon than anywhere else in the world, for it contains in abundant measure everything we conceive to be important and dear and beautiful. This, of course, we have always known, even among the cathedrals and museums of Europe, the canyons of New York and the monuments of Washington, the mountains and forests of Cali fornia, the plains of Texas and the mid-West. There is no place no place at all with Ore gon's diversity, beauty, and opportunities for in spiration. And relaxation. llE are among those, like author Stewart Hol- brook, who view with some dismay the fact that others are "discovering'' Oregon. This year, in particular, due in large part to the Seattle World's Fair, the world is coming here. The briefest drive along the highways and freeways along 101 on the coast, 99 (or 5) north to Portland, 97 up central Oregon shows vast quantities of out-of-state vehicles, vehicles of ev ery description and condition. The largest number of the out-of-statcrs, in many instances more frequent than Oregon licensed cars, come from California. But virtually every state in the union can be spotted sooner or later, and there are many foreign licenses. A ND trailers there are trailers ranging from 50-foot-plus "mobile homes" to tiny sleepers and tent-convertibles. The relatively new "camp ers," which put a small home away from home on top of a pickup truck, are everywhere. So are cars (and station wagons) with lug gage or camping equipment strapped irto car riers on top, some of them so heavily loaded one wonders how they clave to speed along the high way. It is obvious that hotels and motels must be doing a booming business this summer. But so are the campgrounds. State parks are crowded, so are forest camps and, not infrequently, spots where there are no facilities at all which arc con verted into overnight accommodations for those with tents, trailers or campers. X7"E did not see "all of Oregon" this trip. Two weeks is too short a time for this. Really, it takes a lifetime to see it all, and savor all of its charms and beauties. But we did sec : The Columbia (soon to be bridged) at As toria, and the hundreds of rusting Liberty ships in storage there. The sands of Seaside and Gearhart, with the surf below and the misty hills above. Bustling, growing, changing Portland, with tall new buildings rising at every hand, new hotels and motels, and a rather new, somewhat self conscious, sense of big city sophistication. The growth of the freeway as it stretches, ever lengthening, the full breadth of the state. II'E drove the red highways of central Oregon, and the wide streets of Bend, where a choc olate ice cream cone can hardly be found. We saw the headwaters of the Motolius, where a sparkling river springs full-size from forest surrounded springs, and we slept along its hanks and watched the brilliant stars through the trees. We saw the McKcnzic Crest (which really should be a National Park), and the snow-capped mountains, lakes, lava flows and forests stretch ing north and south and west. And we returned home to Medford, once again convinced that despite the troubles and fears and frustrations of the world, one can find what one seeks in Oregon. Selfishly, we hope too many others don't find it here too. F.A. Naming The New State Park It was with disappointment that we read a United Press International story out of Salem Fri day, which said that the new state park on the Rogue River between the towns of Rogue River and Gold Mill had been named "Valley of the Rogue" state park. The name has a phony, artifical ring to it, w ithout historic excuse, and with a coy, preten tions "cuteness" that is utterly unbecoming. Happily, however, we were reassured Satur day that the name is only temporary, and that a permanent name wiil be'given when the park is dedicated, probably after the off and on ramps from the freeway are completed. We still plug for the name Tailholt State Park, to commemorate the eailv nearhv com- i ...... it..

Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann Icl New York HeraM Tribune Svnriirate GOOD NEWS FROM patient effort to deal with EUROPE There has now taken place what is certainly a most im portant, and it may be a de cisive, turn for the belter in the compli cated parallel negotiati o n s about the Eu ropean Eco- nomic Com- munity and the American nuclear deter Lippmann rent. This is the Joint Declaration of June 2fl of the Action Committee for the United Slates of Eu- j rope, of which the head is . M. .lean Monnet. 'fhis committee is an un- official working coalition of i parly leaders, industrialists, - anrl trade unionists, from the I six European countries. It is the political instrument through which M. Monnet and his colleagues work. Its power and influence are great be cause they are derived from the fact that the committee represents the will of the ris ing forces in the European post-war generation. The committee has now spoken out unequivocally in favor of British membership in the European Economic Community and in a Euro pean political union. It has declared itself against the separatism of Gen. dc Gaulle which would lead to "profit- less adventures and preserve that spirit of superiority and domination which not so long ago led Europe to the brink of destruction and could now engulf the world." At the same time the Action Com mittee declares for a partner ship between the new Europe and North America, for a "re lationship of two separate but equally powerful entities, each bearing its share of com mnn responsibility In Iholnnl nnlv, if the fir! nvlneinle worlfl ' ! of the partnership is that nu- I clear weapons are for use rPllE position taken by M. a gainst nuclear weapons, Monnet's Action Commit-! against the use of those weap lee will command warm sup- j ons, in fact, and against the port in this rounlry The ad-j use of such weapons as diplo herencc of Great Britain to; malic threats. tnc turopean Economic Com-1 nuinity is indispensihle If the hope of a great liberal trading area is 10 ne realized. For if Great Britain and nic Scandinavian countries and the European neutrals and tile Commonwealth are all outside the Common M. ket. and in rivalry with it. it will be presumptuous of the Six to call themselves "Eu rope," and there will be lit'le prospect of a partnership no tween Europe and the foiled States. Equally, we shall give nut full support to the idea of a "new partnership of Europe and America ' in the field of defense and nuclear weapons. Our argument with Grit, de Caullr is about a separate, independently operated French nuclear deterrent. We have never opposed, in fact under both Eisenhower and Kennedy we have oftered to help make, a European nu clear deterrent within NATO 'PllF. real question is how to organise such a Euro pean deterrent M Monnet's Action Committee docs nut offer, and probably does not have, the blueprint of such a European deterrent. The idea has been discussed tor ycrs and there is no agreed solu tion of the problem of how to make an effective force which is run by a committee of governments The Action Commit tee toes no further than to say ihat "the new partnership of Eu rope and America will rievel op as the outcome of pracli "al and patient effort to tackle together the problems tin-v have in ri.mninn '" Tins coun try, which makes no el. tun to .in Inherent and million able right lo nuclear nionop olv. ask nothing better than that the problems of a Vuro- pean and American partner-1 butte trails have been mam ship be tackled by practical, tamed 1 I concrete matters TF WE explore the unsolved problems of how to work out a "relationship of two separate but equally powerful entities," we may ask first: Is it possible for either of these equally powerful enti ties to wage nuclear war scp- artcly? The American answer wou'd be that this is not pos sible. Thus, if the Soviet Union launched an all - out attack against Western Europe, it would collide first of all with the large American army in Europe. It would be impossi ble for the United Stales to do what Gen. de Gaulle pro- fosses to think it might do to sit slill and do nothing and "'I Hs r.uropean army be an- nihilaterl In reverse, it is no less Irue that neither Europe nor Amer ica could engage in a separate nuclear war anywhere, in Eu rope. Africa, or Asia. Once nuclear war were engaged anywhere, preemptive strikes against hostile nuclear forces in being would become imper ative. Even if we can imagine a limited nuclear war, which left great nuclear forces still in being, the fallout would cause hideous and intolerable damage on those who are hoping to sit out the nuclear war. j ... rpilE conclusion we draw 1 from all this is that in the j world todav the unique and j paramount mission of nuclear forces is to prevent the use Uf nuclear forces. Thev can- not he used, as conventional forces can still be used as for example they are being used in Thailand as instru ments of a national policy. In the American view, a nuclear partnership between Europe and America can be worked If this is the sound conclu- sion to be drawn from the facts of life In the nuclear age, it is very likely to pre vail in the end. The new Fu rnne wlitrh Ihe Action Com. mitlee is nrnmntins means to he too strone to invite accres- sion. But it is not nationalist or militarist in temper. It will t:ike years to make the new Europe. Hut it will also take a good many years to make a separate but equal ly powerful European nuclear force So the questions which Mr. Husk and Mr McNamara are discussing with the Euro pean governments are not ur gent and critical. What is ur gent and critical Is that the British negotiations should work out successfully, and that the American negotia tions with the enlarged Com mon Market should be able to be begun.

OHECON In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Let's recite a little history today-close at home history. From time immemorial, there has been a Klamath Lake. Klamath Lake was the magnet that drew John C. Fremont to the Far West in 1843. He missed it that time. Coming down from The Dal les, he mistook the Klamath Marsh for Klamath Lake, and was very much disappointed with what he saw after hav ing come so far. FREMONT came again lo the Far West in 1846 - and this time he found what he sought. He wag camped on Upper Klamath Lake when Lieutenant Gillespie, bearer of a secret message from Washington, found him. To reach Klamath Lake from Washington, Lieutenant Gillespie had traveled by naval vessel lo Vera Cruz, had crossed Mexico on foot to Mazallan, had traveled thence by sailing ship to the Sandwich Islands, from the Sandwich Islands tn San Francisco by sailing ship and from San Francisco to Klam ath Lake by saddle horse. The message he carried was so secret that while crossing Mexico he had committed it to memory and had eaten the paper on which it was writ ten. PRESUMABLY in obedience lo the message, Fremont and his party, including Kit Carson, took off for Califor nia and at Sonoma, in con junction with American set tlers, they raised the Bear Flag and proclaimed the Bear Republic, which became the State of California. Up this way, we laughingly claim Klamath Lake as the birthplace of American Cali fornia. T ET'S skip the next 70 years " By the early 1920's, it was realized that there were great agricultural possibilities in the Klamath Basin. But water was needed. The water must come from Klamath Lake, the source nf tlie Klamath River. The Klamath Lake of that day was not the Klamath. Dennis the Menace ' 1 WHEN IV SET HOME, WE VE GOT A AW M IS GONNA TtU MM WHEf?E 'Action' Medicine in By ERIC SEVAREID One of the frustrations of the general columnist is that the short-bread he casts upon ' in the form of J' ? fragments t h o u y h he I tries to avoid siaip crusis. pi'l our oi n l s r J r e vv a r d ie ment is often returned as a whole loaf, well - risen, from persons who rank as chefs, and not short order cooks, in the matter concerned. l'hr other week, in remark ing upon the Augustan man ner with which AMA so fre quently pronounces judgment upon political and historical matters. I suggested that the concentrated necessities of technical education had de prived the generality of American doctors of the li beral education out of which can grow a more vital irw of social history. The crested letterheads from physicians and surgeons piled up rapidly Some gave off a heat tbul r.n light! that seemed to me to confirm what 1 had tried to sav Some, in protest, clearly reflected minds schooled in much more tban medicine Others, espe cially thn.e from professors and deans of medicine, said in essence thai the column wa justified. In the nhfaf of forrespon- i rf Lake we know now. It was relatively shallow. Strong winds from the south would pile the water up at the north end. Then strong winds from the north would pile the wa ter up at the southern end of the lake, causing it to over flow the reef that acted as a low natural dam and cre ated the lake. ryHE result was an immense -- loss of water. What was needed was a HIGHER dam to hold back the water. rpHE Reclamation Service was called in to see what could be done about it. Its engineers made a study of the situation and reported that such a dam was feasible but its cost would be in the neigh borhood of $125,000. The Reclamation Act was then only about 20 years old. Its job was to reclaim the desert lands of the WHOLE WEST. The upshot nf the study was a report hy the en gineers that while the Klam ath Lake project was feasible its cost would be nut of pro portion to the funds 'then available. IT WAS then thai a young engineer for a private pow er company arrived on the scene. He made a careful sti.dy of the possibilities of the project and reported that if an arrangement could be made whereby the Reclama tion Service would control and apportion the stored wa ter his company would build the dam. rpHAT was the beginning of - what we now know as the Klamath Project, and the young engineer with a gleam in his eye and a vision in his mind was John Boyle, who was honored on Monday of last week by the naming for him of Ihe biggest power plant in the Klamath River power system. His engineering genius has guided much of Southern Ore gon's water and power devel opment during the past half century. $UPPfUS fOR AW tW) ! SHE HIO HIS $OLf CLUBS!' ; dence was a copy of the re : markable interview with Dr. Herbert Rattier of the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola university which has been pub lished in pamphlet form by I the Center for Ihe Study nf ; Democratic Institutions at Santa Barbara. From this I learn that the prcmedical j curriculum for many future doctors is being shortened jcvrn more in order "to make the MD degree competitive in 'time with the PhD degree." But. says Dr. Ratner, "we are I streamlining the educational process in the wrong direction by stressing the technological at the expense of the humani ties." As I read his analysis. Dr Ratner is not so much con cerned with the physician's grasp of philosophy or histo ry as objective studies, or with the political and eco nomic effect of proposed health - cost legislation, as he is with the physician's un derstanding and treatment of his patient as a complete hu man entity and with the ef fect on the quality of treat ment which the legislation may have. In any case, his whole argument is an elo quent pica against the rapid drift away from humanitarian individualism, in the highest sense of that phrar. within the practice of medicine. Amone. the causes of this drift he seems tn assicn a greater role tn lite medical schools than he dors to gov ernment per se r.-emedical Matter of Fact (ci new York Herald KENNEDY GOES TO THE COUNTRY j Washington - President Kennedy and his staff are now thinking seriously about tak f" eWijulI"!

With great reluctance, and with little visible effect, President Eisenhower also en tered the fray in the off-year elections while he was in the White House. But the inter ventions President Kennedy is planning will be very differ ent from the Eisenhower in terventions, which were al ways momentary, grandiose, and bland. To the extent the other demands of his office I permit. Kennedy wants to take the stump in earnest, in the old-fashioned American way. Within the While House staff, in fact, something of an argument is already going on about where the President ought to concentrate his ef forts. ... TllANY smaller slates have Senate scats and Cover group would like these states to be covered. The other group is arguing for intense concentration on the big states like California, New York, In diana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois, where the vot ing trend will have more in fluence on the future compo sition of the House of Repre sentatives. The President ap parently leans to the latter view. Going to the country in an off - year, as the President is now thinking of doing, is a very risky course of action. By getting into the campaign with both feet, instead of heli copteding in and helicopter ing out in the Eisenhower manner, a President automat ically engages his personal prestige in local races, in which his name is not on the ballot. Thus he loses doubly if his party loses. This time - honored argu ment for Presidential quies cence in off - years is still to be heard in the Kennedy White House. But there is much more force and convic tion in the counter-argument, that taking the risk this year is one of those things the President "ran t not do." ... TTE "CAN'T not do it," ac cording to this line nf ar gument, because history is now moving so fast, both in this country and the world, that the old American politi cal rules are partly outmoded. Under the old rules, Kennedy would now stay above the contest. He would accept a Democratic set - back if that was the election result. He would then play politics against the new Congress for two years, in the hope nf mak ing a spectacular comeback in 1964. But as the President him self has reportedly confided to those around him, it is "too dangerous" nowadays to waste two crucial years on po litical bickering between the White House and the Capitol. rvsr i., ..-V & U.S. Tradition ' curricula aside, he argues that :the medical courses them selves become ever more nar rowed and specialized "Most I medical schools are confused j about their basic purpose. We do not know any longer Whether our Eoal is to turn out physicians or research men. . . .We should appeal to students as humanitarians, not as technologists, as mak ers of health in the suffering I rather than pursuers of truth in the laboratory, which calls for a different bent nf mind." I ... I And what causes this drift 1 WITHIN the school1 It is pri marily money, for Parkin, son's Law appears tn operate I in this as in most other realms i" . . . The tremendous amount of research money available to the medical schools from government, foundation ann the pharmaceutical sources. It is common knowledge that we I have more research money available than we have wor j thy researchers and worthy research ideas, and this avail able money seduces Research 1 scientists, rather than cood teachers and practitioners I hjve become the sotuht-after commodity for medical schools " It is in the bonrs of Amer . icans to believe that all prob lems can be solved if onl enough money is spent, enough heads put together and enough action taken Both this and foreign lands have much benefited bv this ren tra! belief, but there is a lim , it to ihe production of ouaii !t:ej by a.nassir.j quantities By Joseph Altop Tribune Syndicate Thai moans, in turn, mat me President desperately needs a new Congress which will be more amenable and respon sive than the present one. Yet the old rules also say that the party in power al ways loses seats in an elf year. If the President lakes the stump, in sum. he will be breaking the old rules about Presidential political behavior in the hope of breaking the old rules about off-year elec tion results. At the moment, the general political atmosphere in Wash ington can only be described as rancid; but the rancidity and discouragement have not yet infected the White House. The While House view is that the Republicans in Congress are paving the way for an un precedcntcdly good Demo cratic showing next Novem ber, by their. fairly persistent partisanship and negativism. . rpHEY'RE getting Ihe imaga -- of a know - nothing, do nothing, see - nothing, go-nowhere party, and it's bound to do them harm," according lo one of Ihe President s chief political advisors. Contrary to a recent report, moreover, the White House has most em phatically not been depressert by recent public opinion soundings by pollers. The Louis Harris poll, for instance, which is supposed to have brought Kennedy bad news, has in fact discovered overwhelming public support for the President's action to hold the price line in steel, in tests taken both before and after the stock market de cline. The same poll also found very recently that ths President would carry New York state against Gov. Nel son Rockefeller by a whop ping 2-to-t majority if an elec tion were held tomorrow. For many other reasons be sides the reports of the poll ers, the White House in fart believes that the President has not as yet lost support in the country, excrpt in the business community, "which always votes Rppuhliran any way." As yel. in truth, there is only one possible develop ment that alarms the White House. It time are bad and jobl are scarce, it is admitted Ihat the election can turn intn a near-disaster. Vet Receives Note From Washington Henry Washington Jr.. a member of the Veterans Ad ministration Domiciliary at White City, has received a letter from the White House in Washington. D.C., ac knowledging a gift sent to President John F. Kennedy. The gift was in the form nf a cross bearing a picture of the President. Washington had won third prize in the recent Hobby Fair at the VA domiciliary for the crose which he made. The letter reads in part: "The President asked me to thank you for the decorative cross, bearing a picture ot him. that you made and en tered in your Hobby fair. He very much appreciated your friendliness in wanting him to have this prize-winnini artwork." It was signed by Evelyn Lincoln, personal secretary tn the pr.sirient. iThe point of diminishing re- I turns per dollar, per head and per action must come.
