Most people would agree he Is Oregon's most distinguished citizen former governor, outstanding editor and publisher, a member of many boards, commissions and com mittees dedicated to the improvement of the common weal, devoted conservationist, sage ad visor and counsellor to generations of newsmen, politicians and public servants truly an "elder statesman." This week he earned a new distinction, one which he shares with Mrs. Sprague. They cele brated their 50th wedding anniversary. In his column, "It Seems To Me," in the Oregon Statesman, Mr. Sprague reminisces about their wedding trip to Mt. Rainier, and about their early life together.' H ERE are a few paragraphs: Married life has Us problems at the slart and along the way. Here was one: Mchitable wanted to make some salad dressing In those days the house wife made her own; now she buys it readimixed in a bottle. I was enlisted to turn the beater. The only trouble was the ingredients didn't emulsify. Finally I quit disgusted and have stayed out of the kitchen ever since, except for an occasional turn with the drying towel at the dishwashing routine . . . We were married six years before we had a car. How did we get about? On foot, or by train, or, in cities, by streetcar. Nowadays a chap gets a car before he gets a bride in fact it's an important bit of equip ment for his courting. . . . Looking back, the years are seen with lights and shadows mixed; but thanks to the loyalty of kin folk and co-workers and of many friends. Mehitable and I agree, as the Psalmist wrote, "our lines are fallen in pleasant places." Perhaps we will be permitted to add our con gratulations to those of others, and wish for Mr. and Mrs. Sprague "many happy returns." E.A. Hatch The Hatch Act of 1939 was designed to pre vent overt political activity on the part of Fed eral employees. In general, it is designed to be a reasonable restrictive force to keep the civil serv ice from involvement in politics, as it so often was in the early days of the nation. But we had no idea just how stringent the restrictions are until we had a minor collision with the Hatch Act recently, resulting from a mistake made by some overzealous bureaucrat. Among our extra-curricular activities is mem bership on the local advisory board to the O & C lands administration of the Bureau of Land Man agement. Recently we received notice that, as such, we would have to fill out, sign, swear to, and have notarized Civil Service Standard Form 61. TTHIS form, among other things, prohibits the individual signing it from holding any office or position under state, territorial, county or mu nicipal governments. More to the point, it forbids him from "writ ing for publication or publishing any letter or article, signed or unsigned, soliciting votes in favor or against any political party or candidate." As a working newspaperman and editorial writer, it was obvious we could not sign any such document, and we protested it vigorously, offer ing our immediate resignation from the board should the requirement stand. AS IT turned out, the form had been sent to "board members by mistake. But it was an eye-opener to us as to the limita tions put on federal employees in the way of political activity. They are permitted to vote, and to express political opinions so long as they do not take any active part in political manage ment or in political campaigns. But virtually all other forms of political ac tivity are prohibted serving on committees, cir culating petitions, working at the polls, distribut ing campaign literature, even transporting voters on election day. Some limitation is necessary, but it seems to us that this law is unduly restrictive. E.A. Eliminate August What should be done about August? Some suggest that it should be eliminated, on the theory that very few good things and a lot of bad things happen during the month. Russell Baker, writing in the New York Times, points out: "... August deranges (lie brain. 11 is In August that dogs go mud, Scots see the Loch Ness monster, adolescents compete to sec how many times they can toss an lee cube before it melts . . . "July is a high holiday of the spirit. It starts vvit). fireworks. It is a season for catching lightning blips and playing pinochle. But by August the crab grass is in charge and the Japanese beetle is m the roes. In July a subway is merely hot; In August it is a furnace. In July the air is merely humid; in August it is a steam that bastes the brain . . ." THE answer, it is suggested, is to take a tip from the French, shut up shop completely, and everyone go to the seashore. There is a certain Gallic logic in this sugges tion, and it does have its appeal. But August is not a dead loss certainlv not in our part of the world. If there is crab grass, there is also fishing. If it is the season of the Loch Xess monster, it is also the season for Shakespeare. And if dogs and adolescents go slightly mad in August, at least we can be consoled that the election cam paigns won't reallv get under wav until after Labor Day. And beside, it is in this mid-August week when the first authentic tang of Autumn can be detected in the early-morning air. E.A. Act " I Hear Two More Made It To Outer Space" COMMUNICATIONS Letters to tHe Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication Is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters orinted in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the oaper; in fact the contrary Is ofton the case. God Gave Us Minds To the Editor: Mr. Howard's letter to the editor, M.T. 10.02, accuses Mr. Allen of advocat ing the direct killing of the Finkbine baby. Mrs. Finkbine has certainly contributed her part in giving birth to four normal children. If we know a seed is bad in planting our flowers or gar den, we discard it. At this stage of pregnancy I see no difference, and be side eliminating all the heart break of bearing a deformed child. Life at its best presents many problems for us fortun ate enough to possess all our faculties. The deformed are ridiculed as children by other children and sometimes ignor ant adults. Work is hard to find for the normal man many times. What about the deformed? People are always confusing God's will in so many things. God gave us a mind of our own to use, and I get tired of people saying everything that happens to them or others is God's will. if I run out in the road, though I see a car coming, and it hits me, that was my own carelessness and not God's will. People are always confusing their carelessness with what God's will is. God is certainly more inter ested with what concerns us spiritually than materially.

Escape Punishment To the Editor: Counterfeit drugs, vicious racket in phony pills, is swindling honest deal ers and druggists and endan gering the lives of the victims who use the fake pills. It is a racket that threatens the lives of every man, woman and child in the land of the free and the home of the brave. The evidence to prove a case against the perpetrators of that dastardly crime is so in direct that it is almost impos sible to punish the guilty par ties. The traffic in spurious nos trums has flourished unex posed and with very little if any control. The drug bootleg gers are encouraged by the record of arrests, prosecu tions and punishment. In re cent times there have been two of what might be called major prosecutions, one in volved Seymorc Blau and l.udwig Spandau, both New Yorkers. They were accused of trafficking in counterfeit Miitnwn and Equanil tablets. An undercover agenl bought 50.000 phony tablets, which Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF IEDKRAL income tax officials have gotten used to tossing out sonu1 mighty f..rfetched deduction claims by ingen ious taxpayers. The head of the Brooklyn bureau admits, however, that one de linquent came up with an explanation that hit a new high for sheer, un adulterated call. This chap had been caught red-handed, claiming an exemption for supporting his mother who had been dead a mere matter of ten years!

They were given a suspended sentence of six months and a $200 fine. Rath er an inadequate sentence for the magnitude of the crime. The other case was the raid on American Scalia, a Chicago drug dealer, whose home and truck were found stocked with fake drugs. Illinois has a law which allows the poscsser of illegal drugs to go free if he destroys them in the pres ence of the inspector. Rather a light penalty as compared to a sentence for deliberate hom icide. The enormous profits, esti mated at more than $50,000, 000, with the lack of punish ment, encourages the bootleg gers to indulge in the illicit traffic of fake drugs. Dr. Frances Oldham Kel- sey, who barred the use of the dangerous and deforming thal- ldomine drug in the U.S.A., deserves the commendation and gratitude of the entire country for her forthright ac tion for the protection of thousands of mothers and un born babies. As long as the punishment is light, and in many cases non existent, the traffic in fake drugs will flourish, also as long as the people are used as guinea pigs to test phoney drugs. It is rather strange that the law provides a punishment of three to five years for forging a check, where the almighty dollar is involved, while those drug fakers out for greedy profits at the expense of hu man disabilities and deaths es cape punishment. Ed Black, 2573 Camp Joy rd. Grants Pass, Ore. How Does He Know? To the Editor: In regard to H. R. Bulman's letter in the Monday MMT. Just what, sir, do you have to base your denunciation of nudist camps on? I believe you called them "cesspools of iniquity and shame." How do you know that they are such? Have you ever been in a nudist camp? I doubt it. If you had you could never tell such outright lies about nudist camps. Sonic of our best citi zens belong to such organiza tions, they seem to find noth ing iniquitous about them. I have lived for several years near one of these camps, and never have 1 witnessed any thing shameful going on. It seems to me that you arc out to criticize and tear down anything that doesn't lie In your sphere of approval. J. E. Stauffer, P. O. Box 72, Trail.

Doris TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Britain Finding Difficulty Over To Federate Aden With Small Kingdoms By PETER KNOX United Press International London - HTD -Britain is facing trouble in the Middle East over plans to federate the fortress colony of Aden with a group of tiny and im poverished Arab kingdoms. Aden, a bustling port for ships going through the Suez Canal, is a key British base. Drummond Reports (Walter Lippmann Is on vacation. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington in his absence.) (c) 1962 New York Herald Tribune Inc. WHY THE ALLIANCE FALTERS Salvador, Brazil When the United States entered World War I and World War II, the question everybody asked was not whether we were going to win but when. Now the United States has entered another kind of war; the theater of struggle is the Western hemisphere. The question everybody's asking today is not when we are go ing to win - but whether. The reason this question is so fateful is that failure of the Alliance for Progress - this massive common effort to res cue Latin America from econ omic stagnation - would cer tainly bring on a wave of mili tary dictatorships, and mili tary dictatorship is Itself the seedbed for Communism. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c- Field Enterprises Ine. FACTS OF DEATH The real problem for a par ent today is not how to tell a child about "the facts of life," but how to explain he facts of death not the way in which we are born, but the ways in which we die. When a child wants to know a h ft ,1 t war Jw h a t does a r a , a n flams that is hon est, clear and meaningful? How can we avoid either de ception on the one hand, or a distressing confession of our immaturity on the other? Children are far from fools. They know we have fought two major wars in our cen tury. They knew that our for mer enemies, Germany, Italy and Japan, are now our "friends." And that we have helped them rebuild their na tions after defeat. When children fight, they are separated by their par- n t s or by other adults. When adults fight, they are seized by the police and brought lo court. There is a rule of law and order, of reason and decency, in our daily domestic lives. And lhey cannot under stand why nations must fight, why men must die by the millions every quarter century, in quarrels that seem meaningless a few years later. Ten years from now if we survive will we be allies with Rus sia, offering her money and help against some other "enemy"? These are not naive ques tions thai children ask; they are basic questions. We are the ones who are naive wo who speak blithely about the next war, even though none of us could say what we would go to war with Russia about. Children are immensely practical and clear-sighted; they cut straight through all adult cant. Why can't the world have a police force lo prevent wars? Why must nations be sovereign powers unto themselves? Why do we condemn pri vate killing and support public killing? It is easy, too easy, to tell them that the Russian leaders are wicked men and want to dominate the world. The Ger man leaders were w-cked men and wanted to dominate the world; but it was the people who suffered, people on both sides, as they always do. There has always boon a tyrant somewhere in the, world; there has always been a war against him: he has , been conquered: and a few j years later, another tyrant has arisen elsewhere, and t h e , tragic pattern repeats itself. W ars lead to nothing but oth- er wars, and always have. But we are now at the end of the cycle. The next war could easily exterminate man kind. Children today feel this, if they do not know it. And they feel that we have let them down, that the adult world lias not solved the prob lem of living tocether only of dying together. How do we explain those facts of death to young idealists who are quickly turning into cynics? Nearly 10.000 troops are held there on the ready for action anywhere in the touchy Mid east. Britain would like to see Aden federated with the neighboring emirates to in sure the colony remains safe ly British. The emirates, or little king doms, stand in the arid hinter land separating Aden from For six days here in Salva dor at a conference on econ omic tensions, I have had the opportunity to hear, question, and exchange information with more than 70 economists, political leaders, professors, and industrialists from every Latin American country ex cept Cuba. HOW does the Alliance look a year after it was signed at Punta del Este? I base my report on both Latin American and North American judgments. It is a very mixed picture with dark and ominous hues. There is no unanimous opinion. It ranges from hope to hopelessness. The technicians, mostly the economists, know that accel erated economic growth is possible and believe it can be achieved. The non-specialized intellec tuals from the universities are cautiously hopeful but very uncertain. Many of the Latin Amer ican politicians are deep in pessimism. Some are already convinced that economic prog ress will be so slow that ex treme nationalism and mili tary dictatorship, already evi dent in Peru, Argentina, and Brazil, will engulf most of the continent. AFTER one year of expe rience, what are the short comings of the Alliance which aims at infusing new develop ment capital into Latin Amer ican economies and simultan eously promoting needed so cial reforms? The dominant views of those willing to speak with candor - views I believe Washington and friends of the Alliance in La tin America ought to ponder responsibility-are 1-ese: 1 - The Alliance has pro vided the plan for economic development without yet pro viding the machinery, either in Washington or in Latin American nations themselves, for carrying it out. In a word, we have a sound strategy for an economic war against stag nation and poverty but the troops are not in place any where. 2 - While the Alliance is rightly focused on a long range ten-year concept to build the structure of an ex panding economy, it is not yet realized adequately how essential it is now at the very beginning to invest apprecia bly in major visible socially useful projects such as schools, housing, and health services before mass frustra tion overruns the whole ef fort. Most of the technicians in Washington tend to shun these projects, seeing them as the later fruit of economic growth. But because of the long delays in providing basic social improvements for most of the population, they are now an absolutely necessary pre-condition of successful development. 3 - The Alliance for Prog ress hasn't yet begun to win active allegiance, genuine support, of the masses of the Latin American people. The Alliance has not been made credible to them and thus far has created no means of doing so. It is smeared by the Com munist left and resisted by the ultra-conservative right and millions of under-privileged are understandably cynical because they have listened to empty promises so long. rVHlS is why Roberto Cam- pos, Brazilian Ambassa dor to the United States, speaking for himself, says the Alliance cannot succeed until ! it instills in the masses of La tin America "a personal in- volvement" as well as "a na- tional commitment." This is why Lincoln Gor don, the economist-diplomat who is United States Ambas-i sador to Brazil av thai on less the Alliance can create a "political mystique'' and idon- tify itself with the loyalties of the great majority of the poo- pie, the precondition for sue - cess is absent. Nothing remotely adequate to development of this nor- sonal involvement, this politi- cal mystique, behind the Al - liance is being done today. There is yet no mechanism for doing it. nothing like the Mon net Action Committee for a I nited States of Europe, which gives such drive to the European Common Market. It is almost too late but not quite. It is never too late to win a war - even an economic war - if we view winnine it j with enough urgency. Yemen, an Arab state. Yemen has long claimed both the emirates and Aden' as its own. Britain enjoys limited pro tectorate powers over the emi rates and hands out sibsidies to them. They need both the protection and money for survival. Aden, although only 75 square miles in area, has a population o' over 200,000. Because of the business brought to it by the port and the base it is prosperous and progressive. Unfortunately for the Brit ish, the growth of prosperity and progress has coincided with a corresponding growth of Arab nationalism, bring ing demands for greater poli tical autonomy. The nationalists are fright ened that a wedding between Aden and the still feudal emi rates will block their chances of winning any sort. of con stitutional advance. Above all. it will block the hopes Matter of Fact (c) New York Herald By GASTON COBLENTZ (Joseph Alsop it on vaca tion. During his absence, his column will be written by reporters expert in na tional and international af fairs.) LOOKING FOR THE FORMULA Paris With a good deal of publicity. President Ken nedy has been dispatching his economists abroad to probe the recent wonders of the Eu ropean economy. The logic of it is that the Europeans are supposed to have uncovered the elusive secret of everlast ing economic growth. If the Kennedy economists could be let in on the formula, they could bring it back and apply it to the United States. The vexatious news is that this operation has been under taken precisely at a time when the European secret seems to be a little less worth having. The Europeans are starting to be plagued by some of the same ailments that have been troubling the U. S. It is ques tionable whether they have all the answers, either. In West Germany, the diz zying boom is grinding lo a halt in a vortex of wage infla tion, shrinking profit margins, and a dismal stock market debacle. In France, which seems to be the pet object of the Kennedy research ven ture, a relentless inflation in many domestic branches is progressively wiping out the advantages of a fairly recent devaluation of the franc. In Italy, despite its admirable monetary orthodoxy for more than a decade, wage inflation is threatening to undermine the structure. And in Britain, Selwyn Lloyd's classically cautious policies may be scrapped in favor of a refla lionist experiment which could annihilate the recent stabilization of the pound sterling. TESIDES the irony of fish-- ing in these muddied wa ters, there is another greater irony in the search by t h e Kennedy economists. For Eu rope's current inflationary headaches with ominous signs that a deflationary back lash may be on the way are in part the fulfillment of a wishful prayer that has been nurtured in official Washing ton since the latter days of the Eisenhower administra tion. The prayer has been that the Europeans would soon fol low in American footsteps and imbibe their dose of inflation, too. The result would be to make their massive exporis less competitive on world markets. This and other re lated mechanisms would, the prayer went, diminish their huge European payments sur pluses and take the heat off the declining gold reserves of the United States. This has been an almost freely enunciated policy in Washington. A suspicion ex ists that American labor rep- resentatives were prompted into encouraging wae.e boost i demands by some of tiie Euro ! pean trade unions. The over all policy has come to be known as one of ' exporting inflation'' to one's European i allies. Misery loves company. ' ' ' a "ther tricky game.! Almost every one of the! European nations involved dc-j ' pends on a far-flung export j trade to fuel its national econ- i om.v- In Germany, for in-! slance, some kev industries ' do up to half of their business ' abroad. Take that business I away, or reduce it sharply. : a"1 'he result is a boriv blow to the stability of the German economy, with all the grim social corv-eouences that could flow from it. However. Mr. Kennedy's economists, in their search for the European secret, ap pear to have been concentrat ing their attention, above all. on France, despite the dubious , Plan of the extremists for eventual: independence, and a possible break from the common wealth into the Arab camp. Not all the 25 emirates sur rounding Aden have agreed to come into federation, but 11 have decided on it and two more are considering joining. The federators have a popu lation of 450,000, which means they outnumber tha people of Aden colony two-to-one. Representatives of the col ony and the emirates have been meeting in London re cently to plan implementation of the federation. Officials carefully avoided calling the talks n constitu tional conference but this did not allay the fears of tha anti-federationists in Aden. The Aden Trades Union Congress called a strike on the day the talks opened, as a gesture of defiance. Tha congress is reported to be backed by Arab nationalists in Cairo. By Joseph Aliop Tribune Syndicate features of the present French economy. The evident reason is that France has a national economic "plan." It repre sents the kind of state-plan ning approach that appeals to progressive economists. But before trying to trans plant it to the U. S. it would be well to wait a little longer and see whether it really works. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Russia's ex-lumberjack, Ma jor Nikolayev, now has a companion - Lieutenant Col onel Popovich, who was ap parently sent out to keep him company and prevent him from getting cabin fever. Colonel Popovich is reported to be an ex-sheep herder. As this is written, the two of them are reported to be sailing along out there in tha wild yonders of Lace, in sight of each other, and chat ting back and forth over tha intcr-com. They had their dinners, Moscow reports. After dinner, the news tickers say, they rested for an hour, and per haps took a nap. The general drift of their news to tha home folks appears t- be in the pattern of the time-honored postcard cliche: "Having wonderful time; wish you were here." WHAT are they talking about? They are reported to be discussing the feasibility ot coordinating the flights of two or more space ships in order to set up a flying plat form from which another ship could be launched with a crew to pilot it to the moon. Down here on earth, that seems like a crazy idea. Out there in space, riding along more or less side by side, it may look a lot simpler. TlfEANWHILE - "l What's the big news down here on terra firma? VELL -" At the moment. Sena tor Kefauver says in Wash ington that he thinks tha plans of the wicked opposi tion to shut off the filibuster against President Kennedy's Tclstar ownership bill (which calls for private Investment) will fail and that the Telstar enterprise will be government-owned. QH, YES. There's other big news. Sharing the front page of one of our greatest Western newspapers the other morn ing with the news of the Rus sian cosmonauts was a home front story about the efforts of an American reformer to require zoo animals to wear breech-clouts. The shameful way in which these zoo animals are per mitted to expose themselves, he says, is a national scandal, and something ought to bo done about it. He adds that his decency society has pres ently some 38,000 members, and is growing like a weed. Its really quite newsy these days.
