I rj" NEWSPAPER association NATIONAL r7 FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1962 How Do How do we 6tand in mid-1962 as compared with, say, one year afro? The New York Times' Washington bureau chief. James Reston, who combines a touch of the philosopher with his a newspaperman, concludes tnat tne u.o. is in much better shape than it was in mid-1961. He makes a good case, too. Then we were worried about war over Berlin, and the calling up of reserves, and the construc tion of fallout shelters, about the stock market. A year ago there was chaos in the Congo, civil wrnv in Alrrot-ip fpnr nf missi'ln hncp in fhp Congo, and concern over Khrushchev's efforts to disrupt the United Nations. Today stockpile and cotton storage scandals preoccupy Washington, A year ago, the Administration was wonder ing whether there was any use in asking Congress for a trade expansion bill. Last week it was passed by the House. "The comparison," Reston remarks wryly, "is instructive and even a little reassuring." ND he goes on to say : ". . . All the nightmares of a year ago haven't happened, which doesn't mean they won't happen a year from now, but for the moment it is at least possible to say that while stocks have fallen, the world is still intact, and probably in better shape than it was in the middle of 1961. "None of the Communist assumptions has proved to be true. Liberated Africa has not gone Communist. Castroism hasn't swept Latin America. The Middle East has not collapsed. China has not triumphed, but starved. Europe has not divided economically or broken apart politically, but it is in the midst of the political transformation and tion of the American union. . . . Reston is not wearing rose-colored blinders, for he finds that many of today's problems are serious indeed. But he concludes, and we believe rightly, that overall, "compared with the world problems a year ago, it is not too bad." E.A. Civil Wars Eve Speaking of tough times . . . We have been reading a book entitled "Reveille in Washington." It is about the nation's capitol during the Civil War. Despite the brooding threat of nuclear war, problems of integration, traffic control and a host of other nagging worries, cannot compare with the fear, disorganization, and near-chaos of the Washington of the eve of the War Between the States. The capitol faced a seceding Virginia on one side, and a half-dissident Maryland on the other three. Northern troops were having difficulty get ting through to protect Washington from the im minent threat of invasion ernment workers clerks, soldiers, officers many of them expressed overt sympathy with the Southern cause. TTHE streets quagmires when it rained, knee deep in dust when it didn't were filled with raw, untrained militiamen, soldiers, hangers-on, fleeing citizens, plug-uglies itching for a brawl. House and Senate saw some of their most able and forceful members leaving to join the Confederacy. Over all hung the uncertainty the awful un certainty of what might happen. Assassination? Cavalry raids? Outright invasion and capture? None of us know what lies ahead. But bar ring catastrophe, we'll never see times like those again. E.A. Memories of Scatterbolt "Potpourri's column yesterday recorded the waves of nostalgia evoked by the thoughts of an old-fashioned Fourth of pictures on the subject last Sunday. Other things evoke nostalgia, too. One which reacted on us was a recent letter in the Oregon Statesman from Forest Atnsden of Salem which waxed nostalgic about the Model A Ford. Now there was (and, in some few remaining cases, is) a car! There is a piece of machinery to get nostalgic about! It can generate the same sort of feeling a cowboy has for his favorite horse. MSDEN said: "Take running hoards. The loss of running boards has been a severe blow to utility and comfort, a sacrifice made to a false goal of sleekness. On a running board one could stash extra luggage. It made a fine bench at picnics. It was an ideal place to sit while whittling or sprinkling the lawn. You could stand on the running hoard for short rides Willi Daddy. It simplified taking along the dog, because that s where the dog rode: lying on the running board." He also recalled other advantages like the windshield that swung open to admit breezes, and the hand throttle, both of immense utility, and both of which have vanished into limbo.

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; In fact the contrary is often the case. Fait Prophets To the Editor: Why does Billy Graham fail to fill the void in others lives? Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God. Why? Because many false Prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the spirit of God: every spirit that con fesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. Every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of an anti Christ. Many say that God came in the flesh instead of believing that Jesus the Son of God came here, thereby be coming the anti-Christs. They believe that God or Jesus is the father and Son both. But God stayed in Heaven and sent Jesus here. For many deceivers are en tered into the world, who con fess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti-Christ. Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the Father and tile Son. When one does not abide in Christ's doctrine that he had a Father in Heaven he does not have God. (God's words through John, not ours.) A newspaper clipping of Billy Graham's answers to a reader states, that Jesus Christ was truly God, and he was truly Man. This is the mystery and the glory of the incarnation - God becoming man that he might redeem man. God never became man but stayed in Heaven and sent his Son here. Since Rilly Graham did not abide in the doctrine of Christ he has not God. So how can he fill the Spiritual void in any one's life, since we can do nothing without Christ? God's ministers speak God's words. Too many Jesus and God only ministers and people now. We must beware of false prophets and take heed what we hear, and judge as in St. John 7-24, which is according to the Bible instead of their large crowds and pop ularity. Too many fall in iove with "big shot" ministers and fail to compare them with 1 tie Bible. If we want to avoid being in the simple minded class of Romans lrt-17-18. we must beware of false doctrine and prophets. We do not have to juduc them for the Bible does that, and we are commanded to be ware of men and false prophets. If we have no right to judge (as in St. John 7-241 how are we going to keep these com mands? Woe unto you when all man shall speak well of vou. Why? Luke ltMS, Gal. i-10, chap. VI 8 to end Mrs. G. C.

Prayers and Communism To the F.di.r: This is In replv to Dave Force's letter in MT 7 .1 62. lie says the supreme court "has no law making powers" and that "it made no law acainst prnver." And in the nox. he contradicts himself bv saving that the decision "prohibited" the state government from coining of ficial prayers. If a prohibition Is not a law, what is if lie cannot see where this "decision a step towards Communism." line earve!s that one who as a'tended church "almo.-t every Sunday since he was 2 ve.irs old'' can he so blind He must hnow but ".ittie lav muni?

And when we restrict the worship of God and the teachings of the Bible in our schools, we are preparing our country for the Communist take-over. No wonder the Communists and fellow trav elers in our midst are in such a glee every time they win a victory of this kind. It is one more step towards their goal of a Communist America. When we rule out, or even leave out, the Bible and prayer, we teach by implica tion that these things are either evil or unnecessary. In making this decision the court violated the plain state ment of the Constitution. It plainly states (in the Bill of Rights) that no law shall be made prohibiting the "free ex ercise of religion. II the teacher and pupils want to pray before beginning the day's work, they have a right to do so. The Constitution gives them this right. And whoever says they can't is vi olating the Constitution, and taking away their right to the "free exercise" of their re ligion. No teacher or school board has the right to require them to pray, nor have they any right to prohibit It if they choose to pray. If God and the Bible must not, in any way, be recognized in our schools we will have to make some radical changes. No one can deny that since we took the Bible and prayer out of the schools juvenile crime has increased by leaps and bounds. So, for our own sakes, and for the sake of our children, and our country, let us wake up and have some "horse sense" about these things. And if anybody doesn't like our good old USA let him go to Russia, China, or some otner place where the atmosphere is more to his liking. Why hang around here?

Aerial Spraying To the Editor: We picked the Rogue valley as the place for a home because we think it is a beautiful valley and the climate is suitable too. After living here for ten years we find the crop dusting in our immediate neighborhood very aggravating as well as harm ful. In spite of many articles in the Mail Tribune, Oregon Farmer, etc., warning people of the great dangers involved in the use of these highly poi sonous chemicals, they still spray around our houses here in Sams Valley in what we feel is a reckless manner, and via the most harmful way, by air. Sometimes we get enough deposit on our garden crops so we can't use them for 21 days, and spraying every few days, like they do, during the s-ummer months, one can read ily see why we take a chance w hen we eat our own garden crops. However, the biggest griev ance I have is the way some of us (eel from the spraying pro gram used here. We got head aches, sore throats, stomach cramps and diarrhea and feel sick all over from breath ing it. It svrms to me the air is ours to breath and to keep us alive and no one should have the right to pollute it like they do. I d like to hear from other resident m the valley who may have had the same exper ience and who feel it should aLvaybe stopped, around hey.ses at St. Mis. Eva Hrown. Route 2, I i i-le.!l, 0; a a MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Record on Connally Amendment Told By Senator Morse To the Editor: The letter from Mr. L. C. Powell relative to the Connally amendment and the International Court of Justice makes so many erron eous statements that I think it is essential to set the rec ord straight. First, Mr. Powell is wrong when he says that all treaties made by the U. S. government have higher authority than our Constitution and become the law of the land. They do become the law of the land in the same sense that statutes do, but they do NOT have higher authority than the Con stitution, they do not super sede the Constitution, and provisions of them in conflict with the Constitution cannot stand any more than an un constitutional law may stand. Beyond that, Mr. Powell is also wrong in his assertions that the Connally amend ment, reserving to the United States the right to judge what is under our domestic juris diction, would automatically keep such issues as our Guan tanamo base in Cuba or the Panama Canal out of the World Court. Neither Cuba nor Panama is under the do mestic jurisdiction of the United States, and there is no stretch of anyone's imag ination, except perhaps Mr. Powell's, that could change that fact. Our rights In both places are treaty rights, and treaty rights only. If the Connally amendment does not afford a protection which Mr. Powell claims for it. neither is it needed for Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises Inc.

John Bunyan, an unschool ed tinker, wrote his immortal "Pilgrim's Progress" while in jail. Oscar Wilde's most ma ture work was composed in Reading Gaol. The best of Paul Verlaine's lyrics, and the deepest of Dostoyevski's psy chological probings were giv en to the world from prison. America's most prolific short story writer, O. Henry, wrote almost all his stories while doing a stretch for forg ery. Thomas More and Leight Hunt lifted wit and satire to new heights from their cells. Even King James I of Scot land wrote the only poem of his life in prison. Not all these men, of course, were criminals in the ordinary tense of the word. Many were political prisoners, such as Socrates and Gandhi; others, like Marco Polo. Columbus, Galileo and Defoe, had vio lated the creeds and cut toms of their times. Yet, regardless of the charge, prison teems to have brought out the desire for telf-examination and telf - expression in many men. While jail lends to bestialize tome, it hat ex actly the opposite effect upon others at Balzac wrote in a letter to a friend from his Paris cell. Some of our wortt ele ment! are xo be found in prison and some of the potentially best, at well. The qualitiet that go into the making of a talented criminal are often the tame qualities that would make a tuccestful leader in the arts and professiont: independ ence, retourcefulnest. and a craving for creative non routine activity. Once society learns how to harness these abilities for con structive instead of anti-social work, only half-wits and de generates will occupy our prisons; and the prisons them- selves will become genuine places of rehabilitation, not antiquated modes of punish , ment, as they are today, j An intelligent and talented 'man in Jail is as much an in dictment of society's neglect as it is of the individual's w aywardness.

S. government, in cluding foreign aid, immigra tion laws, or tariffs. Mr. Powell IS right about one thing. I did oppose the Connally amendment in 1946, when it was offered as an amendment to my resolution which announced U. S. ac ceptance of World Court jur isdiction over international legal disputes. It was offered, however, for one specific rea son, and that was to reassure southerners that no Court de cision could ever affect the rights of American Negroes in the South. I argued that the authority of the Court as it was already constituted ex cluded that subject, as did any other matter within the domestic jurisdiction of a na tion. It was a question of whether the Court should de cide, or a party to the dispute should decide, the specific ap plication of its general juris diction. The real impact of the Con nally amendment has been that it has been copied by other nations and, moreover, where ONE party in a case has that right, the World Court has automatically ac corded it to the contending party so that both will come before the Court on an equal footing. This will make it ex ceptionally difficult for the U. S. to bring any other na tion before the Court. Those who are satisfied to see the world continue to live by the law of the claw may be satisfied to see the Court be come ineffective. But those of us who believe that there are issues of international law that are susceptible to judicial rulings believe that it should be used and should be strengthened. Actually, I do not believe the Connally amendment has been as important in vitiating the World Court as have sev eral other factors The Com munist bloc countries refuse to accept its jurisdiction in ANY case; other countries simply refuse to submit an issue to the Court because both sides prefer to keep fighting over it. Many of us have urged Prime Minister Nehru of In dia, for example, to submit his argument with Pakistan over Kashmir to the World Court. But neither India nor Pakistan is willing to do so. Many of the issues between Israel and the Arab countries which keep the Middle East in turmoil could be decided by the Court, if the parties were willing to have them set tled that way. So far, both prefer to spill blood. It is true that the nations of the world are still a long way from recognizing what we learned on the American frontier - that growth and progress of a people require a degree of law and order. Unfortunately, Mr. Powell's misrepresentations and ve hemence against the World Court are matched only by the denunciations of the Com munist countries, who view it as a weapon of capitalist im perialism aimed at their own existence. I do not agree with either, and I shall continue my ef forts to promote the rule of law in world affairs by strengthening the World Court. Wayne Morse Washington, D. C.

FOR ONCE Washington - On Tuesday afternoon, President Kenne dy met at the White House with secre tary of the Treasury Dil Ion, Secretary of Defense M c Namara, and Deputy Secretary Ros well Gilpat trie for a long bout of Altnp cheese paring. The cheese to be pared was the one that most worries the U.S. business community and the banking fraternity all over the world namely the persistent deficit in the U.S. balance of payments, which has caused the U.S. heavy gold losses of recent years. Much too little attention has been paid to the long, hard effort to shrink the pay ments deficit that began when President Kennedy took of fice. In particular, net defense spending overseas has already been heavily reduced, both by American economies and by arrangements for offset ting arms purchases in this country by the Germans and others. 1HD BE specific, the rate of net dollar outflow for de fense, which was $2.7 billion per annum in the last Eisen hower year, has already shrunk greatly and will drop to S1.6 billion per annum in 1963. At Tuesday's White House meeting, a target of $600 million of additional shrinkage was set, to be at tained over a further period of two years. "It will be painful target to reach," said one defense official, "but we believe we can reach it and without penalizing indi vidual servicemen or their families." Reaching the target will re quire spending some more de fense dollars here in the U S in order to cut still further into dollar outflow abroad. Even so, what is being achiev. ed is remarkable, and all the more so at a time when the increases of U.S. defense ef fort, both in Viet Nam and in Europe, might have been expected to send the outflow of defense dollars soaring sky- high. All this is particularly in teresting, moreover, because it suggests that the business men and the economists may eventually have to re-examine several of their current rub ber - stamp slogans, about the insurmountable "change in the U.S. world position, the hopelessness of the "funda mental payments deficit prob lem," and so on. The record suggests that re-thinking may be in order rather soon. rpo BE specific, the payments -- deficit in the last Eisen hower year was $3.9 billion. In that year, the net military dollar outflow was $2.7 bil lion, and the net outflow for the foreign aid program was $1.3 billion. In other words even in this worst year, the U.S. economy traded on even terms with the rest of the world, and the payments defi cit was almost exactly equal to the sum in dollars spent overseas for defense and for eign aid. In President Kennedys' first year in offica, the payments deficit dropped by over $1 billion, to just under $2.5 billion. But since cheese par ing is a slow, long term busi ness, the outflow of defense dollars remained at a level of 2.6 billion, and the out flow for economic aid was unchanged at $1.3 billion. This year, the improve ment is very much more dra matic. The first quarter's payments deficit was $465 million; and the deficit for the second quarter will be under $200 million. By the end of this year, moreover. 2P the rate of outflow of defen dollars will have dropp more than $1 billion per a num below the rate in t last Eisenhower year; and t rate of dollar outflow f foreign aid will also be i duced, it is hoped, by abo $300 million. SOME of the reduction this year's payments di icit has been achieved by o shot operations, like advan repayment of earlier U loans to allied governmen Nonetheless, the total ps ments deficit has plain shrunk in an important ma ner, judging by the figur in the two first two quarte This result has been part attained by g o v e r nmei sponsored dollar economi resulting from such moves the change in the touris import allowances. SimultE eously with the shrinkage the over-all payments de cit, there is a massive shrin age in the rate of dollar oi flow to pay for governme activities overseas. The ps ments deficit, therefore, dwindling towards a balani This is just the result th Secretary of the Treasury D Ion has been stoutly predi ing for 1963, despite t gloom that prevails in t business community. May the gloom has not been al gether unconstructive. T President has certainly i newed his attack on the pre lem of the payments deft with extra vigor, since he I gan to consult business leE ers like Robert A. Love John J. McCloy, and Dav Rockefeller. Furthermore, the gloom the business men will be t happily justified if the g eral trade balance turns soi and thus cancels the effect the governmental cuts in di lar outflow. Yet the outlook clearly far better than h been generally supposed.

It is an interesting stoi As unofficially related, came about like this: Those who signed the Di laration did so almost literal with ropes around their neci They were REBELS. If t Revolution failed, it was reasonable assumption th the rebels who engineered would be hanged. When Carroll had sign his name, someone at his i bow is said to have remarke "You are safe.
