AUGUST 17, 19B2 Candidates Views Some days ago in this tions was addressed to candidates for the state legislature from Jackson county, together with an offer to print their replies. One only candidate reply. The questions were cussion of the financial problems the state will face in the coming years, the need for additional state outlays (largely for educational purposes, but also including other expanding needs), and the plain-as-a-pikestaff statement that the state has two alternatives : increase tax income, or cut back on state services. THE five questions dealt with raising funds to ( 1 ) offset the fact that last biennium the state had a $33 million surplus which it will not have next year, (2) increase basic school support, (3) increase appropriations for higher educa tion and (4) the community college program; and (o) which services eliminated if increased vided. Al Bradford, Medford city councilman and Democratic candidate for the house of representa tives, alone of the eight legislative candidates, has replied. His letter is a thoughtful statement of his posi tion, and we commend it in full: To the Editor: This is In reply to your recent edl- torial in which you suggested legislative candidates comment on the financial position of the State of Ore gon and how we would propose to meet the question of educational needs in the next biennium budget. (1) I know that additional state income will be necessary. How much will be needed we do not know at this time. We must await the meeting of the next legislature and the suggested budget of the governor to find the total amount. I would work within the present tax structure o state Income tax, I believe that some of the revenue can be raised by closing some of the inequities in the Income tax laws. Much additional revenue can be gain by a step-up in economic growth in Oregon, but the . major revenue needed here will have to come from some broadening of the income tax base and some modification of the Income tax structure. Today the State Income tax rates are lower than in 1955, having been reduced around 19 per cent during Governor Holmes' administration. (2) I believe additional state aid to the basic school support program should be made, if at all possible, thereby taking some of the pressures off the local school district property tax rates. (3) As for higher education I feel that we cannot fail to meet our responsibilities in this field. With more than 30 per cent more high school graduates seeking admittance to colleges and universities during the next biennium, we must prepare to accept our responsibili ties to Bee that these students have a chance to con tinue their education. (4) There is some sharp discussion taking place In Oregon at this time on what role our community col leges should play In the educational field. I believe they have a needed place in those areas of the state where access to other college facilities are distant. It not only enables more young people to continue their education while living at home, at less cost, but also they would take some of the pressure off our other state colleges and universities. (3) I am aware that a great challenge will face the 1963 legislature and my decision to enter this race rested on my desire to see that we in Jackson county and in Oregon face the responsibility of seeking solu tions to the problems now facing us. I will never advo cate spending too much, but I believe we must not do too little toward finding answers to our problems. Al Bradford 1023 Mt. Pitt ave. Medford. IIT'E HOPE the other candidates (Democrats Jim Redden and Charles Crary ; Republicans John Dellenback, Edward Branchfield and Al Dumas for the House ; and Lyn Newbry, Repub lican, and Henry raclgham, Democrat, tor the Senate), will choose to enter this discussion. The problems laced imaginary; important, not trivial. They must be resolved with courage, with intelligence, and with fiscal and moral responsibility, both to the taxpayers and to all citizens who are the bene- iiciaries 01 me services tne state is caneci upon to provide. Our decisions in the legislative race should be based on who we believe will face these prob lems most intelligently and responsibly, not on who has the prettiest face or the smoothest gift of gab. X7E ARE acquainted with all eight candidates, "and consider them all to be men of integrity, intelligence and ability. We solicit their views on this, probably the most important series of decisions the 1963 legis lature will have to face, and will publish their answers on this page. Is the state going to go forward with its edu cational programs at added cost? Or is it going to slip to second or third class, educationally and in other ways, to "save money"? Voters should know how the candidates feel about these questions before they cast their votes in November. E.A.

The letters printed In this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; In fact the contrary is ofton the case. Him Only To the Editor: Mr. Peter son, if you forget about man's hands and think only about God's, in His Redemption, you will benefit much. Nat ural law of reproduction reflects God's spiritual law. Man's one spirit was created so it could work in three parts, son, husband, father, or daughter, wife, mother. So it is with God's, Jesus the Son (meaning God's word with us), Christ the Husband, the Father, yet one whole Spirit. Reproductive spiritual life has to function according to the law of Life. God honored Jesus in the flesh as well as Spirit by giving him His name, Jesus, because he was the firstborn of the new per fected living covenant of spiritual birth. God couldn't send a seed to earth to pro duce a natural man, not any thing natural can touch God's living covenant. He can put the lamb with the lion (nat ural) but they are not joined together. God provided His own living symbols though. I believe Jesus' conception was virgin, God's Spirit being the ultimate negative positive force, all substance is relevant to this force. Hence the possi bility of miracles. God's spirit (the gravitational center) the pure heart matter of living force, (the Almighty). This is the Christ spirit that was within the natural man Jesus, the living doctrine of spiritual truth, the rock foun dation of all life. Jesus death was plain murder, but not in vain, it tells much, that God is not a respecter of persons and the law of natural recog nition was dying. He strength ened the law of life even while dying. He would not lift a finger to defend him self but was willing to die to defend God's truth. He told man the way and said, take up your cross and follow me. The hidden cross he lived, of self recognition, death is the way to life, self recognizable righteousness is one's greatest enemy. Faith or belief in God as the deliverer is the pathway to this living cross, the works thereof are relative. Jacob found God at the bottom of the ladder. Only God is great and of enduring goodness. The hidden cross is foolishness to man's nature, man wants the natural cross and so on, it is expedient to his nature. Imagine the infinite God of love and mercy basing His Salvation on a cross of mur der. He didn't violate His own commandment. Jesus said. Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve. Helen Prevo, 222 West Jackson, Medford.

I am a re tired Navy C.P.O., 40 years i of age, with four children, jages 6 years, 4 years, 2 years land 10 months. My wife and I 'take pride In our children, ; that the children have respect for ns and others' property. We own our home iiere In San Jose but we feel the growing and congestion here Don't Like Thi Guy?" is too much to try to raise a family. I have a pension and also a fairly good background for employment. While in the Navy I was an occupational therapist. I taught woodwork, cabinet making, painting, etc., so I am handy around a house to keep it in proper repair. In the past any home we have rented I have always left in better shape than when I first moved in. . Your ad In the Medford Mail Tribune stated one or two children. Is it possible you might make an exception in my case? Looking forward to your affirmative answer. Owen C. Sullivan, 3814 Ezie St., San Jose 12, Calif. Wonderfully Alive To the Editor: It is signifi cant that Name on File (MT 8-14-62), considers a child with 10 fingers and 10 toes as being a "gift from heaven." When the fingers and toes number less than 10, does Name on File consider the gift from somewhere else? Name on File surely does not consider himself (herself) a religious fanatic when recog nizing a child as a gift from God. But along with such gifts of life goes a serious re sponsibility of maintaining that life (the unborn child has a right to life. That right is equal to the right of all other human beings), and it would be folly to believe one can dis pose of such gifts on the nov el measurement of their phys ical perfections. And this whole question involves life. Name on File implies a fetus is not alive-but only comes to life at the time of birth. Now abortion is suggested early in pregnancy in order to minimize any threat to the well being of the mother, not because the fetus does not have life, and it would indeed be difficult to convince any woman, later in pregnancy, that the other heart beating within her, or the noticeable movement and sometimes en ergetic kicking under her ribs does not belong to a creature that is wonderfully alive! Robert J. Howard, 702 Beckman St., Medford. People at Fault To the Editor: In regard to E. Dyke's communication about dogs and cats having changed. This is ridiculous. The poor creatures want noth ing more than to be a friend to someone and to be be friended. But people have changed. Many have no feeling of re sponsibility about either their children or animals. The tax payers not only pay for schools, teachers, and the nor mal aids to education, but we must provide luxury buses for transportation to and from home and also to bowling lanes, skating rinks, basket ball and football games. Then we have clinics by the dozen for all the ills that parents once accepted as their duty. Now the taxpayers pay for it. Surely, Mr. Dykes, with all the people waiting for the gov ernment to wipe their noses, what makes you think they will care for their animals? You also have read in the Tribune that hundreds of dogs and cats are destroyed each month at the Jackson county pound. This is a direct result of the dog breeders who are commercially exploiting help less puppies. A good stiff breeders license fee would prevent some of the excess puppies. At any rate there are thousands of helpless, surplus animals who through no fault of their own become a nuis ance to people like you. I think, Mr. Dykes, you will I MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON How Will Affect Other Foreign Affairs By K. C. THALER United Press International London - (UPD - The latest space feat of the Russian cos monauts has enhanced Soviet prestige at home, in the Red bloc and internationally. Strictly Personal By Sydney (c) Field Enterprises, Inc. ITALIAN DRIVERS A Reuters news report from Rome tells us that 11 out of every 100 Italian motorists are unfit to drive, according to a survey made by the Min istry of Transport. In a spot-check, through out Italy, of 7,658 drivers, the Ministry found 916 unfit lor the road. The reasons behind their unfitness were either physical or mental debilitation, or "complete lack of self-discipline." "To pedestrians, this came as a bit of a shock," reported in the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Moscow: Russia's space twins are brought safely back to earth, completing their million-mile orbits of the globe by landing in the Soviet Union. The official Soviet Tass news agency says Major Niko layev and Lt. Col. Popovich came down at dawn within six minutes of each other. It says they landed according to plan in an area south of Ka raganda, a town in Kazakh stan, a southern Soviet re public. Karaganda is about 373 miles north and east of what is believed to be the main Soviet cosmonaut launching site at Baikonur, not far from the Aral sea. HOW did they land? All we know about that is what Moscow radio tells us. It says the two space ships, the Vostok III and the Vostok IV, "landed normally," which meant that the cosmonauts rode them down to the sur face, SUSPENDED on the last portion of the landing BY GI ANT PARACHUTES. WHICH is to say -Assuming that It is true Not only did the two Rus sian cosmonauts circle the earth for three days - 64 times around for Nikolayev and 48 times around for Popo vich - but when the time came to land they chose their landing spot,' released huge parachutes that checked their speed and then stepped out quietly on terra firma. SO FAR as we are able to determine from the news available as this is written, there were no fleets of ships deployed over an ocean to rescue the cosmonauts when they came down. There was no uncertainty as to WHERE they would come down. They seem to have picked their spot and then landed on it. 11HAT seems to be about all we are going to get from Moscow right now, so let's take a look at the news from Manchester, England, where Sir Bernard Lovell, head of Britain's Jodrcll Bank radio telescope and Britain's best known authority on space flight, says: "The Soviet Union soon should be able to DESTROY AMERICAN SATELLITES IN SPACE. The latest Russian twin-manned space shots show they have clear space superi ority in the military, if not in tlie scientific sense." Ho adds: "I can see no reason at all why the Soviet Union should not now very quickly be in a position to dispatch the United States MIDAS satel lites, which have been describ ed as spy satellites." 11,'HAT are we doing? " Well, we have been watching a filibuster in the senate designed to kill off a bill to provide for the financ ing of our Telstar satellite by private investment. We've been having a big to-do over getting rich and happy by the simple, non-sweatv process of CUTTING T AXES and putting more debt on the cuff. And so on. OEADING during the past " couple of days of the Rus sian achievements in space, one can't help wondering if it isn't about time for us to cut out the monkevshines and GET DOWN TO SERIOUS BUSINESS. be happier if you keep a pan of clean water available tor the thirsty and remember that it's the people who are re sponsible for the cruelty to the animals and annoyance to you.

Russian Space Shot How will this success af fect the Kremlin's attitude, in the forthcoming crucial phase of diplomatic moves on Berlin, nuclear test ban and disarmament negotiations? J. Harris Reuters. "They thought the percentage was far higher. And even many motorists had the impression that the Min istry might have stretched a point or two." Having spent an entire summer driving around It aly - in a little native car affectionately known a s "the mouse" - I can testify to the lack of self-discipline among Italian molorisis. Rome, Paris and Mexico City are the most frighten ing towns for a stranger to drive in; the motorists there make American drivers look like Campfire Girls in comparison. There is one enormous difference, however. Especi ally in Italy, the fender grazings and near-accidents never end in brawls or fis ticuffs. The Italians are tremendous with their vo cal cords, not with their muscles. I have never seen a fist fight, or one man strike another, in Italy. After a near miss, it seems as if the two motorists are going to tear each other limb from limb they scream, they curse, they wave their arms in dire threats, but they do not strike. If they did, both would be hustled off to jail, and both fined heavily, no matter which one "started" it. a e Actually, the apparent lack of self-discipline in Latin countries is a marvelous safe ty valve for the emotions. The Italians feel free to give vent to their feelings because they know that they are too civi lized for a childish brawl. The alarming rate of fatali ties on American roads is due in great part, I am convinced to our frustrations and re pressed angers. Excoriating another motorist might easily bring us a biff on the nose, so we choke down our rage and drive away determined to make some other motorist suf fer. Being verbally unrepressed and knowing that no harm will come from a tounge-lash-ing, the Italians get rid of their poisons openly and easily, and drive on smiling and humming to themselves. And the same is true off the road: I have seen two Italians argue in a street-cafe until a bloody fracas seemed inevita ble; a minute later, they slap each other on the back and order a drink in perfect good humor. Unlike here, the automobile is not a weapon on Italian roads;, it is a vehicle of self expression, noisy, impetuous, but not violent. Parochial Schools May Keep Books, Judge Declares Portland - (UPP - C 1 r c u 1 1 Judge Virgil Langtry ruled Thursday that Portland School District No. 1 cannot collect textbooks on loan to parochial schools in the district. The district last month an nounced plans to collect its 98.000 books on loan to paro chial schools before the start of the 1962-63 school year next month. The parents of two paro chial school children last week filed a motion asking the Cir cuit Court to enjoin the dis trict from retrieving the books. Tlie Oregon Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the par ents of public school children in Clackamas county. The parents sued their school board in 1959 and demanded that it stop distribution of books to parochial schools. The decision overruled a Circuit Court decision. It was appealed by parochial school backers to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Oregon high court withheld its mandate, an order that puts its opinion into ef fect, pending the appeal. Grant Anderson, the attor ney for the Portland school district, said "the decision of the state Supreme Court stands as the final judgment on the parties." He added "a decision is a decision, whether it was formally ordered or not." Leo Smith, the attorney representing the parents, said "that until the mandate is re turned, there is no order." He said "we can t sit here in the courtroom and predict how the U.S. Supreme Court de cision is going to come out." Soviet affairs experts are divided in their assessment. Some believe the prestige gain might "soften" Premier Nikita Khrushchev's stand in the cold war negotiations and enable him to go easy on Berlin. Others fear the Soviet lead er may push a new diplomatic offensive and revive pressure on the West. Khrushchev has been plagued by a variety of prob lems in past months which are believed to have been responsible for Moscow's more cautious approach in the international field, including the troublesome question of Berlin. At home he has faced a se vere agricultural crisis which has not been overcome so far despite drastic counter-measures. In the satellites, food short ages have caused serious prob lems as well, with Russia un able to come to their aid. Differences with Red Chi na have been shelved but not resolved. There are indica tions that the ideological dif ferences are in fact stronger than ever, but Peiping, in the throes of a severe economic Washington Report By William (c) United Feature Syndicate POLICY: WIN Washington -The United States, after a year and a half of the Kennedy administra tion, has now spec! fically and unapolo getically pro claim e d a "w i n" policy tw in the cold war. This Sec retary of State Dean Rusk, a combat veter an of infantry, speech before has done in the veterans of foreign wars in Minneapolis. In the domes tic sense and also in its rela tionship to our future nego tiations with the Soviet Union it is the most important speech he ever delivered. For 18 months there has been an almost constant over tone of criticism from Repub licans and others that this country was committing itself to something short of victory -to a "no win" line. For these same 18 months the state department itself has been swept by undertones of debate between those who cried for caution and those who wanted a plain, hard dec laration saying that we meant to do more than merely to co exist and survive. The hard liners have at last won the long dialogue. IN this passage in Rusk's speech in Minneapolis there lies the heart of their victory: "We have a single but tran scendent goal. It is, in Presi dent Kennedy's words, 'a peaceful world community of free and independent states, free to choose their own fu ture and their own system, so long as it does not threaten the freedom of others.' "This goal of ours-and of most of the nations of the world - and the Communist goal are incompatible. This global struggle will continue until freedom prevails. It goes without saying that our pur pose is to win. "One hears now and then that we have a 'no-win' pur pose or policies. That is sim ply not so. Of course we in tend to win. And we are going to win. Our objective is a vic tory for all mankind."

Her pony tail slipped in to the slot and was whip ped around the cable. Off she went amidst screams and lamenta tions. A resourceful by stander hopped into his sports car, raced ahead of the girl and neatly snipped off her pony tail as she slithered by. When the young lady regained her composure, she gave her rescuer what-for be cause he had sacrificed her pony tail!

Finally, the United States' determination has forced the Soviet leader to take note of the Allied resolve to stay in Berlin. The Kremlin, and Khrush chev in particular, have shown themselves very con scious of prestige considera tion in the past. Soviet affairs students have frequently seen an inferiori ty complex behind the Krem lin's boasts of superiority. They see the proof above all in Khrushchev's openly con ceded ambition to overtake the United States economical ly. In the light of these con siderations and latest spaco successes, some expert believe Khrushchev may now be able to "relax" for a while and forget about Berlin. There have been signs late ly that Moscow is thinking of a new diplomatic move on the divided city and that Khrushchev may personally go to the United Nations as sembly in New York next month in hopes of a meeting with President Kennedy. S. White tion, outside the military, been willing to say simply and clearly that to win was our purpose and our resolve. Those insisting on describ ing our aims in terms softer than the term "win" had long naa tneir way. These, roughly, were their anmmenrs. that tn speak baldly of "winning" wouia De to imply that we meant to go to nuclear war, to alarm our allies and to pre sent ourselves in a falsely truculent position. So elevated an official as under spnrpfnrv of state George Bell put sub- sianuaiiy inese arguments be fore Congress itself. These men were not truly "soft on Communism." They were, however, somewhat con fused by their own sophistica tion. Too. thev were temrvtort to an excessive stubbornness by the mere fact that some but by no means all-of those who were denouncing "no win" were right-wingers, such as Sens. Barry Goldwater o Arizona and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. To some new frontier types, of course, no "right-winger" can possi bly be right about anything at all. A LL the same, let fairness ba " heard now that the argu ment is over and rightly and reasonably won. It is fair to say that the defenders of the short-of-victory slogan were really anxious to win the cold war. But it is equally fair to say that their critics-not ex cluding Goldwater and Thur-mond-served a very good pur pose here. There was always plenty of reason not to permit military men themselves to cry up "win" as a policy. For, coming from them, such a statement could be read with some ap proach to rational interpreta tion as a recommendation for war. But for the highest diplo matic figure of this country to proclaim "win" is entirely le-gitimate-and also overdue. It serves to notify the increasing ly belligerent Russians-or any unduly timid ally -that we really do mean business. And it serves to enlarge what is already the happily high de gree of bipartisan unity in this country on the one really vital thing, the cold war. Stop Me ill
