Wc.uni.oUAl, Auuusi 1. laoi Some Comparisons One interesting, but usually futile, exercise in comparisons is that which compares the amount of money spent in one way with what it could have bought if spent in another. "Strange As It Seems" the other day report ed that American women spend as much money each year for face powder, lipstick and nail polish as the total $5 billion the U.S. has in vested in the space program. The U.S. public spends more for liquor and tobacco than it does for education. And so on. i llARREN Weaver, writing in the current Sat " urday Review, employs a similar device in comparing the estimated $30 billion cost of put ting a man on the moon with what the money would buy elsewhere in education and science. This $30 billion, he says, would give a 10 per cent raise to all teachers, kindergarten through university, in both public and private schools; give $10 million each to 200 of the best small col leges; finance seven-year fellowships at $4,000 per year per person for 50,000 new scientists and engineers; contribute $200 million to each to cre ate ten new medical schools; build and largely en dow complete universities for all 53 nations that have joined the United Nations since it was founded; and create three more permanent Rockefeller Foundations. There still would be to popularize science. yHIS is an interesting The U. S. is going to program for military and no other. But it is also interesting to note that the $30 billion allocated to the space program over 10 years is only 60 per cent of the federal military spending for ONE YEAR. If the condition of the world were such that the arms race could be ended, or even slowed down, what could be done, not only in the crea tion of useful and desirable social and education al and public works projects, and in aid to the underdeveloped nations, but also in the realm of tax cuts. This spending, by high proportion ol our wealth on non-productive armaments, coupled with tions which in many areas are wiping out eco nomic gains as rapidly as they can be trade, are the two main obstacles to what could, given in telligent guidance and cooperation, become the world's first truly golden age. E.A. The New Geography Most well-informed people like to think that their store of information extends to the places and peoples of the world. They know, for instance, that the French speak French and use francs for money, and that the Italians speak Italian and spend liras when shopping. Thevjcnow a bit about the location and cus toms and languages of Australia, or India, or Brazil, or even Mongolia. But within the last 40 new nations have achieved independence. Who can say that he has kept up with all of them where they are, what they're like? 70R instance, newspaper readers may have not- ed that on Aug. 13, 1900, a new nation named the Central African Republic came into being. But what more do we know about it? It has an area of 238,000 square miles (about 2V-: times the size of Oregon), and a population of about 1.2 million. Its largest city is Bangui, the capital, with some 82,000 people. It is surrounded by other newly-independent nations, Chad, Sudan, Cameroon, and the two Congos. It formerly was known as Ubangi-Shari for two of its principal rivers. The official language is French (it formerly was a French colony), but only about 1 or 2 per cent of the population are literate in that lan guage. The chief lingua franca is the Sangho dialect, but there are many Bantu and Sudanic dialects spoken among the four main ethnic groups, the Mandjia-Baya, the M'Baka, the Ban da and the Zande. HP HE Central African Republic is largely agri- cultural, some of it semi-nomadic in char acter. Some industry is developing; there is min ing and lumbering; there are new hydro-electric power stations; roads link most of the various sections although there is no railroad. How does a little nation like this, with a population mostly either in the savage state or just barely removed from it, with few resources and limted facilities, expect to create a viable economy and an effective political community? The same questions can be asked about many of the other new states, some of which are only names to us Togo, Malagasy Republic, Somali Republic, Dahomey, Upper Volta, Gabon. HPHEIU peoples are human, and endowed with normal human hopes and fears and ambitions, all of them stimulated by their contacts with the artifacts and gadgets of a mechanical civiliza tion, and by the heady talk of human dignity, economic self-sufficiency, and political indepen dence and freedom. Whether their slow progress will continue, or whether it will all blow up into chaos and ter ror, a la Congo, remains to be seen. But these new nations, inexperienced but 1 hopeful, aspiring but terribly poor, backward but ambitious, are a force to be reckoned with in the 1 years ahead. E.

It was an appar ent move to impose a solution In the feud between Dissident Deputy Premier Ben Bella and Moderate Premier Ben Youssef Ben Khedda. Ben Bella indicated his ap proval of the move. POOR Algeria! Whv POOR Aleeria? Well. Ben Bella is a ONE- PARTY man. As was Benito Mussolini. As was Adolf Hit ler. As IS Nikita Khrushchev. One-Dartv eovernment puts too much power in too few hands. Ever since the worm began, with very few excep tions, too much Dower in too few hands has been bad for the general run of the peo pie. OUR Founding Fathers rec ognized that fundamental fact when in the Declaration of Indendence they said:' "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and Happiness. That to secure these rights, Govern ments are instituted among men, deriving their, just pow ers from the consent of the governed." When too much power is held in too few hands, the fundamental rights of the people are pretty certain to be ignored. IN A good-natured editorial this morning, the Oregon ian says: "Photographs of Jacquel ine Kennedy on water skis drive home more forcefully than any action of the Presi dent the fact the YOUTH lias taken over in the White House. "Imagine, If you can, Elea nor Roosevelt, Bess Truman or Mamie Eisenhower scoot ing along on wooden slats. Or Martha Washington, or Mary Todd Lincoln, or any other first lady before the New Frontier. The idea is so pre posterous that the imagina tion cannot cope with it." OH, I don't know. There was Dolly Madi son. She was an up and com ing young woman. During the bitter years of her husband's Presidency, her charm and popularity made the social life of the Madison administration gracious and brilliant. And there was Frances Fol- Try and By BENNETT CERF- T 1LLIAN ROTH, starring in "I Can Get It for You Whole J sale," says that a story that never failed her in a pinch concerns the elegant lady who boasted, "Look what my irienn gave me: nn alli gator bag! An alligator belt! And these alligator shoes!" "Goodness," ex claimed a bystander. "Your friend must be a philanthropist." "Oh. no," replied the elegant lady. "He's an alligator." What Is the fate of peo ple who give away the so lutions to good mystt-ry atones? Vincent Starrett has one answer. Ton years tgo an Agatha Christie whodunit called "The Mousetrap" opened in a 1-ondon theatre. The next day the Lon don Sunday Dispatch in lis review revealed the tilontity of the murderer- a dastardly trick. The producer moaned. "That does us In: we ll close Saturday night." Hut wait .... this Isn't what happened at atl. Fact is. "The Mousetrap" recently registered tta 4.O0Oth performance, and is still packing them in. An t the Sunday Dispatch has gone out of business! The late Stephen I.e.nxx'k took a dim view of retirement. "Have nothing to .Jo with It," he sternly warned a conclave of Montreal business men. "Ketirement is like this, gentlemen.

She was only 22 years old at the time. She was widely known for her delightful ability as a hostess, and the American public was immensely inter ested in her and in what she did in the years when she was mistress of the White House. T'HERE was no such sport as -- water skiing when Dolly Madison was the White House mistress. Nor was any such thing possible when Frances Folsom, at the age of 22, mar ried President Grover Cleve land. The internal combustion en gine hadn't yet been invented when these charming young women came to the White House - and without the in ternal combustion engine fast motorboats were just simply impossible. They couldn't go fast ennueh to keep someone standing up- rignt on wooden slats in the water. T)UT it's a safe guess that If there had been such things in their time as boats fast enough to make water skiing possible both Dolly Ma dison and Frances Folsom Cleveland would have been pretty likely to be enthusias tic water skiers. Kennedy Signs Foreign Aid Bill Washington -(UPB- President Kennedy, praising both par ties for their support, signed into law today a $4.6 billion foreign aid authorization bill. He hailed the legislation as sign of recognition by Re publicans and Democrats that the program is strongly tied in with this country's defense. With Secretary of State Dean Rusk, congressional leaders and a bipartisan group of lawmakers looking on, Kennedy signed the measure after making a statement about its importance. The bill, containing almost all that the President request ed, was viewed as an admin istration victory. However, the actual money authorized in the bill must still be appropriated in later legislation. The S4 6 billion authorired in the bill represented S206 million less than Kennedy re quested.

He It o His' Throne To the Editor: If drought and crop failures persist in Russia and China much long er, their leaders must surely admit there is a God who can give or can take away. This realization probably depends on how we keep the "image" of the United States and the Free World. The Communists have made it their business to alter that "image." Their members are dedicated to their task through a misguided idealism, a reactionary spirit or a love for money and expected power. At any rate they get their job done. Consequently our problems mount due to their energy and our lack of it. They downgrade our edu cation. Increase our delin quency and crime, and de moralize us anywhere they can. They work on our weak spots and we seem to have plenty. We are indeed blind not to see this. What else are they Communists for? A large part of the free world has been overwhelmed by the rapid advance in tech nology and production. We've been so happy and involved with new pleasures and pos sessions we've not realized there's a life and death strug gle on. Spiritual values have been snowed under. But it is upon these values that the fate of the world hangs. The Cold War is a war of prin ciples to be fought and won by the peoples of the nations, not its government. If Truth, Love and Righteousness are to survive, the people must take up the challenge. Perhaps religion has lost its lure for people because there has been no research to bring it up to date. Ancient inter pretations are still in use. The intelligence of today can't accept the inconsistency of a God of Love and a torturing Hell. Too many are confused and so live it up while they may. A Creator who has perfect ed flowers and the universe can certainly eventually evolve perfect children out of mankind for his kingdom on earth. We are very foolish to think we get away with any- ming. ood can send us back to earth minus the talents we wasted, to live down the sins we committed. He is merciful and good and so we have a new environment and a new chance. If we keep failing, we may very well end up in the lower animal kingdom and what's unfair about that? We should ponder well one promise He has given before it is too late. "The tree of tie Righteous shall not be broken," meaning the right eous may live with their lovd ones throughout eter nity. Is the lust and glitter of this world worth sacrificing that privilege? What wouldn't we give to be forever with our loved ones? Too many people just join a church, but don't g?t acquainted with its God. Thus they miss the joy, the peace that passeth all understanding, that they might hfive if thov sought out their Savior and reauy knew Him. He is on His throne but ready to enter any heart that will let Him come in, giving it the con tentment we all seek. Those who have found Him know whereof I speak. Frances Rav Ralston, Wash. Indian Heritage To the Editor: I would like to write something that could be added to the world nf tl, North American Indian. I have read a great deal about those people, all of their history I can find, books written hv both Indian and white authors, and one thing stands out most clearly. Here is a people who have been picked up bodilv and slammed hard against the forces of natural selection or, spiritually speaking, sent down through the valley of the shadow of death and ob scurity. Why? Perhaps because the Creator loves them and in tends to make them great. How else would they be given the vision of the Ghost Dance? There are always people who will scoff and deride, but wis dom only examines. It has been revealed this vi sion was a promise that the In dian race of peoples and the buffalo shall not become ex tinct, shall not perish from the earth or be swallowed up by any otner race But the Indians old concep- :same boys did approve of fnr tion and understanding of the eign aid. after a brief final white man shall vanish. There flurry of debate, involving is no great white Father, great !$4 67 billion to our supposed" wnue momcr. brother, sister or .ureal wnue anytning. Just another kind of man. he is strong and weak, good and bad. There is no perfection in htm. This is the Earth's plan for all life including all man kind, to give something to work and strive for What he can be is president, statesman, teacher, companion, friend and neighbor. The green vallcvs and wide and beautiful expanse of land seen in the vision is the oppor-Jeans, tunity to become educated in the arts and sciences, to be dedicated to learning some thing that will give the Indian student a secure place in the wide world of today where this land of America becomes only a small part, thij land of both the Indians and white man's fathers, the great ones, the wise ones, the Indian heroes of the past, all across the nation Indians will be as much a part of it as any other born on its soil. No white man or any other kind should push the Indian into the path of higher education and learn ing as always the way will be revealed to his spiritual lead ers and wise ones. Another vision may be given, another dance, a stately dignified march out of obscurity and shadow into the wide world of man. My people will change their conception of the Indian, see him in true light, for he is a man proud of race and color and of his people, proud to be an American Indian, and this is the way we like him best. His writings, his arts and crafts are beautiful and good. Without him America just wouldn't be America. This is why he must live and prosper and be a credit to his world.

Dead - But Alive Forever To the Editor: The present editorial drive on capital pun ishment reminds me of a most extraordinary incident associ ated with the gas chamber. While a tellow-prisoner in the little State Penitentiary at Florence, Arizona, in 1935 I was intensely attracted by the clean-cut, militant and manly character of Jerry Corcoran as he exercised daily in the prison yard. Jerry, 24, had slain a gambler in Phoenix and was condemned to die in the gas chamber. The terrors of this then most evil confine had waken ed me and I returned to God openly. There was indeed joy in Heaven and, as I said my prayers of the Mass in the prison yard, the very Heavens would open and the Glory of God pour down. As St. Paul said "I became a fool in glorifying God," and my out law friends warned me to stop. I did not. The authori ties "railroaded" me out of prison and into the state hos pital for the insane. My prayers were answered in con tinuous miracle, yet in 1937 I was handcuffed and enroute to the Veterans hospital at Sawtelle. Los Angeles. Jerry had died in the gas chamber. I had remembered him in my prayers. As I left my seat in the big Los Ange les depot with my guard - Jerry mysteriously rose with me and - in spiritual strength approximating life itself - walked out the door of the depot and down the streets of Los Angeles in broad daylight - a free man forever! And I, in the friendship of God but suffering the curse of psy chiatry, went into 24 more years of most unjust confine men. 1 had been sentenced for 1 to 3 years. The "Law" had taken its ion or jerry for his moment's anger and God had granted mm eternal pardon for his contrition. The dead who die in the Lord never die - not even in the gas chamber - as this simple spiritual adven ture proves.

Mildred Jeffery, 521 Mayette St., Medford Tidal Wave To the Editor: Your editori al in the Wednesday, July 25, Mail Tribune, entitled "Amer ica the Ambivalent," has a very thought provoking para graph. I refer to, "We honor our scientists and teachers and authors, yet pay them less in a year than an adult erous movie star with the morals of an alley cat makes in a week." Some years ago one of the greatest Christian writers of all time penned the following lines: "Among the most danger ous resorts for pleasure is the theater. Instead of being a school of morality and virtue, as it is so often claimed, it is the very hot-bed of immo rality." "Vicious habits and sinful propensities are strengthened and confirmed by these enter tainments. For songs, lewd gestures, expressions, and at titudes, deprave the imagina tion and debase the morals. Every youth who habitually attends such exhibitions will be corrupted in principle. There is no influence in our land more powerful to poison the imagination, to destroy religious impressions, and to blunt the relish for tranquil pleasures and sober realities of life, than theatrical amuse ments. The love for these scenes increases with every indulgence, as the desire for intoxicating drink strength ens with its use. When the foregoing lines were first written TV was un known. I am not condemning this modern marvel of com munication. But sad to say the demoralizing "alley cat", "adulterous movie star", filth and corruption of Hollywood is flooding American homes. And the results are evident everywhere. Many Christian homes have and are succumbing to this tidal wave of degenerating sewage. Instead of the voice of prayer and reading of God's word, we Americans are wrapped up in a hypnotic spell that is careening us on in a mad rush to perdition. Our only hope is to turn our eyes to the God whose glory shines from the heavens anr" whose divine hand up holds the universe. We have only to love him, trust in him. as little children in faith j and confidence, and he will accept lis as His sons and j daughters, and we shall be joint heirs to all the inex- X e'erm" Henry Johnson Jr., 2315 Highway 66, Ashland The Antwer?

MARRIAGE HARD WORK In her penetrating article, "Marriage on the Rocks." in the July issue of the Atlantic Monthly mag- Pf53b1 a'", Nora Johnson sug gests that get ling married should "a made much harder than it is It Is tniA j enough that r this vastly uaria i m p o r - tant step is absurdly easy to take; and that we need fewer qualifications for getting a marriage license than for get ting a driver's license. Yet when all this is ad mitted, I still doubt whether a "cooling-off" period for prospective marriages would be of much value; or even if psychological and emotional tests given to the candidates would do more than rule out a small percentage of psycho paths or imbeciles. As is well known, a young couple can go tof gether three or four yean without a serious disagree ment and then a few months after marriage, the. ugly dissensions begin to make themselves felt. No matter how long or how well one knows a person before marriage, it is a dif ferent person after mar riage. Both partners indeed, become different persons. This is in the nature of the relationship. Marriage is a compensation as well as a collaboration; during the courtship, all is col laboration; it is only after ward that the competitive strains come to the front. Nobody knows exactly what chemistry goes into making of a "good" mar riage. Marriage counselors themselves don't know, as their own private lives too often bear out. The ration al, sensible, objective ad vice that we give to others is almost impossible to ap ply to our own case, For instance, it is easy (0 mouth the familiar platitude that "marriage is a 50-50 proposition," a matter of give-and-take between the part ners. But this is a gross fal lacy. As I have observed be fore, marriage is at least a 60-40 proposition, with each partner prepared to give the 60 and receive the 40. If the conjugal relationship is viewed as a 50-50 proposi tion, it is doomed to failure -for this attitude is based on calculation, on measurement and appraisal. "I gave my 50, now you give yours" is the kind of childish reaction that is bound to destroy the fab ric of a marriage. To divide the responsibilities and the givingness on a mathematical basis is to violate the whole spirit of love - yet most of us tend to do it. The brutal fact of the mat ter is that the two persons after marriage are not the same two who existed before the marriage. Unwillingness to adjust to this fact causes more marital rifts than any thing else. No matter how long the engagement, how stiff the legal requirements for marriage, couples will still have to learn how to live with the puzzling stran gers they married - and not with the lovers they thought they had. Bill Introduced To Exempt Nisei Tax Washington-!l!PH-Sen. Thom as Kuchel (R-Calif.) Tuesday I introduced a bill to exempt lrom taxation money paid to Japanese-Americans who wera put in relocation camps dur ing World War II. A recent Internal Revenue Service ruling that the money recently granted Nisei for property losses is subject to taxation adds "insult to in jury.'' Kuchel said. "Morally, the problem is the other way around," he added. "These people ought to be permitted to take a loss on their tax returns." As it is. he said, the grant on!y allows partial compensa tion and was enacted "to do justice and close the book on a not-too-pretty chapter in our history." labor Peace Restored At Groton Shipyard Groton.
