AUGUST 19. 1962 Stop Fumbling Park Issue About two years ago, a study compiled and published by the Bureau of Municipal Research at the University of Oregon was distributed to city officials and members of the city council, and planning and parks and The study was entitled "Planning for Parks and Recreation: City pages long, contained four plates, and was in tended to "provide background information re lated to the development of a plan for parks and recreation facilities (in Medford) and to offer some recommendations. At its April 17 meeting that year, the city park and recreation commission accepted the re port and voted to refer it to the planning com mission with the recommendation that the pro posed Medford park plan (now near completion by City Planner Ned Langford) be prepared "with the report as a guide." Four months later, at ing, the planning commission accepted and filed the report. The city council is not on record as having taken any official LJOWEVER, this paragraph occurred on Page m 13 of the study: "At the present time ment between the city park and recreation commission, the city coun cil and the Medford school district that parks should be located adjacent to school sites where possible, and that a large part of the city's re- ciuirements tor recreation space can be met m this way." (It should be noted of the city council were then serving, with the execption of William Singler.) On the strength of the "general agreement," certain members of the city administration, not ably Ned Langford, opened lines of communica tion with the school board concerning the pos sibility of incorporating a city park with the new senior high school, now being planned for construction in northwest Medford. The board was responsive to the idea, and about a month ago sent representatives to a meeting of the city council to discuss the idea. Surprisingly, they found themselves confronted with a council that was at best uncertain and at worst downright confused about the whole pro position. One member of the council, indeed, seized the occasion to make some scathing remarks, pro fessed bewilderment about how the idea of a school-park got going in the first place, and said he had never been in favor of the idea. MONETHELESS, following a good deal ofwhat . one might charitably term discussion, the council voted unanimously to authorize the city manager to seek appraisals and open negotia tions to acquire property adjacent to the proposed senior high school site on Roberts rd. But almost immediately afterwards, certain members of the council began to waver and vacillate on their decision so much that City Manager Robert Duff said Tuesday he has not taken any action on the rightly felt his instructions from the council were not clear. Duff said he felt it do anything pending council and the school board to discuss the mat ter further. No such meeting has been scheduled, however, he said.

Funds for such a purchase! are available from the sale of the freeway right-of-way through Hawthorne park. There is considerable urgency involved in the , matter. The school district's architects are pre paring to draw plans for the new high school. If the city is to participate in the plans, they need to know about it very soon, since two totally dif- ferent designs would be involved. We strongly urge the city council to stand by their earlier decision to acquire the park site at the earliest possible date, and to cooperate with : the school district in developing a high school : park site that will be a source of increasing pride, : utility, and enjoyment to the citizens of Medford for generations to come.

Watch The Road Look Our For Those Other Chariots " in the Day's News By FKANK JENKINS Last week, back in Massa chusetts, the biggest bank robbery In U.S. history was pulled off by an eight-man gang that hijacked a U.S. mail truck near Plymouth, The loot totaled up to a mil lion and a half dollars in un marked cash. The money bconged to six banks on Cape Cod, but when stolen it was in the custody of a U.S. mail truck. So it must be assumed that ihe loss was Uncle Sam's. At any rate, Uncle's men are on the Job this morning, and they are planning the biggest man hunt in history. The purpose of the man hunt will be to get back the money and to find and pun ish the persons responsible for the deed. AS this Is written, the Post al Department's chief In spector, Henry B. Montague, is In Boston with a ten-man team and has taken personal command of the man-hunt. He has gone Into conference with William F. White, chief inspector for the New Eng land region.

GOLD AND THE "CULTURAL LAG" Paris - Never was there a more impressively conveyed devaluation denial than Presi dent Kennedy's use of outer space to restate the inviola bility of the dollar. Yet. less than a month after the Presi dent reassured Europe via Tclcslar, the gold market in London is simmering once more. The current fashion in Washington is to refer to this simmering - the purchase of gold In preference to dollars ns a "cultural lug" on the part of uninformed foreign capi talists and assorted miscre ants. They are pictured as having dimwittedly failed to grasp that the Administration is making seven-league strides in restoring the desirability of the dollar bill. Yet the miscreants perverse ly go on being miscreants, even after being advised that they are victims of a cultural lag. They study intricate sta tistics disclosing I in p r o v e menls in the U. S foreign balance of payments (earn ings abroad vs. expenditures abroad) and continue to buv gold. flMllS has become a phenome- non of such persistence that il requires a better ex planation than tile favorite suggestion of Administration economists that the South Af rican gold lobby is greedily keeping the pot boiling. Seen from Europe, the South Afri can mining interests are only one of the players In this com plex game. There are simply loo many Europeans, ranging from erudite professors of economic theory lo attitient bank execu tives, who either favor an in crease in the price of gold in relation to the dollar and all other currencies, or who do not necessarily fHVor it but believe that il will occur. In one way and another, day m and day out. they are at pres ent playing a greater role than South Africa in keeping t lie gold issue In the foreground. that the Post Office Depart ment is prepared to use a THOUSAND men, if neces sary to find and take into custody the clever gang that was responsible for the holdup. 'PHE gist of it all is that no - stone is to be left un turned in the search for these persons who have misused money in the custody of and therefore belonging, for the time being, to the govern ment of the United States. WELL, that's the way to go about It. We love our old Uncle when he rolls up his sleeves and goes into action like that. It dramatizes for us the power and the majesty and the EFFICIENCY of the fed eral government of the Unit ed States of America. It gives us a thrill of pride. B UT- This thought inevitably occurs: Wouldn't it be WONDER. FUL if all the boondoggling, all the reckless extravagance, all the unsound management practices that have been re sponsibe for the accumula tion of a national debt of THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS had been dealt with In the same prompt and efficient manner as this hi jacking episode back in the state of Massachusetts? Think how much better off we'd be now if that had been the case. By Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate At the moment, they are In a minority, but an articulate, influential minority whose arguments are sufficiently forceful to disquiet the ma jority. There is, in fact, prob ably no other area of inter national affairs in which high ly technical argumentation can create as much practical turmoil as is being provoked by the abstruse dispute under way all over Europe in the field of gold price theory. llfHAT it comes down to is ' the contention of the gold revaluation forces that the United States is in basic error in insisting on trying to free.e the gold price at its pre-war (since 1934) level of $35 an ounce. Since international credit is based on gold, they argue that the U. S. is in this way unnecessarily restricting its own international liquid ity, that is, the amount of money it has available for transactions abroad. They con tend that, in doing so, it is forcing a contraction of the United States' power to meet its responsibilities abroad, among many other world-wide consequences. There arc powerful counter arguments. One nf them is that a doubling of the gold price, by increasing the dollar value of U, S. gold reserves from $16 billion to $32 billion and by raising the currency value of other gold stocks in the same proportion, would i trigger a new wave of infla tion. Arguments on either side are being persuasively set j fortli by outstanding ccono- , mists. The point is that. Telstar 1 notwithstanding, the existence of a bona fide conflict on the ' merits of the issue lias recent j ly gained much wider recog- nilion. This strongly indicates I that it will not be possible lo dispose of the gold problem i by blaming it on a cultural i lag among tile unenlightened. i.n increase in the price of gold may be desirable, or un desirable. However, the issue wilt neither be clarified nor ; solved by hopeful Washington I declarations that the dollar's relation to gold is "immut able." Few things in history have proved immutable, cer tainly not the value of the dollar, as experience has sail i ly shown. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Drummond Reports (Welter Lippminn if on vacation. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington in his absence.) (c) 1962 New York Herald Tribune Inc. THE ALLIANCE AND THE GENERALS Salvador, Brazil - How ever soon the United States may recognize and resume economic aid to Peru under its military junta, this question of dealing with Latin Ameri can dictatorships will arise again and again in various forms in the coming months. It is in the making again in Argentina right now. It is easy to argue that for economic, financial, and stra tegic reasons we ought to work with any stable Latin American regime, military or not. It is easy to argue that the United States cannot im pose democracy on any coun try and that on the basis of practical politics we should make any government that is securely in power a working partner in the Alliance for Progress. But there are strong coun ter arguments. In the first place, all Latin American countries together with the United States are now explic itly committed to using the Alliance for Progress to strengthen "democratic insti tutions." For myself, I am more than ever convinced that long-term economic develop ment and needed social re form can be achieved only through a developing Latin American democracy. HERE in Salvador, the Con ference on Tensions in De velopment, attended by polit ical leaders and economic ex perts from the whole hemi sphere, examined very frank ly the role of the military in the life of Latin American countries and especially in the task of economic growth and social improvement. Although much of the report was off-the-record, I can report there was wide agreement on these five points: 1- Military governments are usually a serious deterrent to economic growth. 2- The oligarchical right wing in many countries does not hesitate to use the army as a weapon of survival through so-called preventive coups.

The U.S. By ERIC SEVAREID Aspen, Colo. - From this continental watchtowcr where the tree line meets the grey rocks and the rocks mod the sky, a m a n can see, at least in the eye of t h e mind, the im mense spread of the Amer i ca n Great Plains. One i cannot put his eye or his mind to this scene without an over whelming awareness that the great wheel of our history is making another turn, so con sequential that it marks the end of one epoch and the start of another. It is possible that the most important social phenomenon of the past century was the 'tremendous migration from Europe and the Atlantic sea board inlo the American West The millions who came sought land, space to turn around in. and they built, here and in the true Midwest, a garden so wide and fruitful that it could virtually feed and clothe the human race. Space, soil and human in genuity were able to do in the American interior what the same factors were unable to do in the equally immense in teriors of Latin America and Asia, including Soviet Asia. j But today contrary phenom ena are occurring In these , three open, interior land masses of the globe. By official pressures, many men are be ling pushed Into the agricultur al interiors of Asia. Many oth i 3- The armaments race in Latin America, encouraged by a supposed need for hemi sphere defense, although out dated by modern weapons, ex travagantly increases military budgets at the expense of so cial and economic needs. 4- Swollen military budgets can and should be cut in or der to build schools and pro vide teachers for millions of illiterate people and thus cre ate the skills for a better in dustrial and farm economy. 5- At times the generals may be a moderating power, pre venting national chaos and for a time producing surface sta bility. But military dictator ships offer no durable solution to social problems and unwit tingly prepare tne ground for the advent of Communism, by conditioning the public to ac cept repressions. rpHIS later point is well ex-- pounded by Salvador de Madariaga,' Spanish historian and philosopher, in his new book "Latin America Be tween the Eagle and the Bear," in which he says: "The dictator and his coun try's Communist party collab orate in opposition to grind out of exiotance the middle way parlies. "The longer the dictator lasts, the stronger grows the Communist party of his coun try and the brighter its chanc es of success when the dicta tor falls. "The case with which Cas tro veered from a revolution which he presented as demo cratic to one the Communist character of which is now un deniable was due to the long apprenticeship in totalitarian ism inflicted on the Cuban people by Batista." Most of the participants at the Salvador conference, in cluding influential political and intellectual Latin Amer ican leaders, privately approv ed the United States action in suspending economic aid to the junta in Peru. Further, the seminar which dealt with the role of the military, put this conclusion on the record: "The United States must un derstand, and Latin American Stop E4- - '. v r'"vr.vi- - mm Can't Do Everything, ers flee the interior of Latin America to escape starvation. But here in the American Great Plains hundreds of thousands of their own free 'will are leaving the open 'spaces settled by their fathers and grandfathers and moving ; into tiie incessantly growing, increasingly congested cities. Psychologically, at least in my : opinion, men need space even more than leisure, but it is Icienr that what they want, i above space and leisure, is greater income and the great I or stimulus of urban living. I Figures help one to grasp the scale of this reverse hum an tide. There arc 433 coun ties in the 10 slates of the Great Plums region. Three 1 hundred eighty one of these ; counties have lost population in the last decade. The coun ties that have gained include the 20 designated as "metro politnn" counties, those domi nated by a sizable city. Of the 10 slates, only Colorado. New Mexico and Texas have in creased in population, which means that a great percentage of the human movement is right out of the Great Plains region to the big cities of the West Coast and the East. So far, and happily, the ma jority of titose moving from the western spaces into the cit- : ics have done will for them selves. But a hard core minor ity is doing badly because they do not have the training to get urban employment. i which now goes more and more to the skilled So this current of uncniplnyabics ! from the western prairies is i added to the main stream Of ,lhe unemployablcs pouring Editorial Comment1 There is a well tested for mula in the newspaper busi ness. A good newspaper gets readers and readers get ad vertising. If a newspaper has the in gredients that readers want coverage of top local, region al, state, national and interna tional news, some good fea tures and a strong editorial page-it will gain and hold circulation. The merchant is interested almost entirely in circulation when he considers use of space in a newspaper for advertising. He may not like some of the newspaper's policies and he may disagree with many of its editorial opinions but he will overlook those factors if the'newspaper will distribute his advertising message to a large number of homes in the area from which he expects to draw customers. Although this is a well test ed formula there are some publishers who disregard it. There are some who publish the cheapest possible product. Their emphasis is on cutting costs without regard for what it will do to their product. There are others who are con vinced that controversial edi torials that displease some ad vertisers will result in a re duction of advertising lineage. They either have an editorial page that says nothing or they don't have an editorial page. They disregard the fact that advertisers are newspaper readers and that most news paper readers want an edi torial page that says some thing. There are some people who would lock the doors of those newspapers with whose edi torial opinions they disagree. But they aren't businessmen who must advertise to stay in business. v One of them recently put himself on the record in the United States Senate. It will surprise nobody who knows his philosophy that the man was Sen. Barry Goldwater. Sen. Goldwater has utter dis dain for the opinions of all who disagree with him. It probably is his greatest weak ness. He shows in so many ways that he thinks those who disagree with him are fools. He has complete contempt for them. Sen. Goldwater was com pletely in character when he made it clear as he inserted a document in the Congression al Record that he would try to put out of business those newspapers that do not agree with him. He may have been surprised at the reaction of the newspapers which he in tended to benefit. We were not surprised nor were many other editors, we are sure. The Arizona Journal of Phoenix last week had this countries realize, that to con tinue to support military de velopment is contrary to each nation's welfare." Diplomatic relations with a military regime is one thing. But it seems to me that mak ing a military dictatorship a working partner with the Al liance for Progress is like trying to make a creek run up hill and is paving the way for Communism. into Hie cities from tile rural South and from places like Puerto Rico. Competition for unskilled jobs in the ant hill cities is al ready severe and can become ugly. Technological changes may be the main difficulty, but racial hostilities, on the part of trade unions quite as much as industrial manage ment, add intolerably to the painful pressures. Massive ac tion on two fronts is clearly imperative. On one, retraining pro grams, reaching down to in clude basic education in lit eracy, without which craft skilly cannot be acquired, will i have to be enlarged and in tensified far beyond present efforts. But training in which specific skills'.' What kinds of jobs and precisely where will they be opening up? In dustrial managements have repeatedly denied this infor mation to unofficial investi gators on the grounds they would be giving away busi ness secrets and future plan ning to their competitors. Clearly, government author ity must obtain and govern- !ment repositories must hold this vital information, with- jout which retraining pro- I grams will have neither chart ; nor compass. On the second front, racial discrimination on jobs has to be broken down. And equal rights to vote and to go to j school adds little to a Negro's life if he has no equal right to work. Long overdue arc : changes on those many trace unions which vigorously ex clude Negro Americans by the 'fiction that they are volun interesting editorial on tht subject: "The New York Herald Tribune and the New Yorlc World-Telegram & Sun hive rejected with some disgust a speech inserted in the Con gressional Record by Senator Goldwater, calling on busi nessmen to advertise only in newspapers that reflect their own views. "The speech was made last May by Donald I. Rogers, bus iness and financial editor of the New York Herald Tribune, and was put into the Record with approving remarks of our Republican senator. "Rogers had told a private group in New York that they shouid no longer advertise in such liberal publications as the New York Times and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; but that rather they should sup port business-oriented papers like the World-Telegram, and, ahem, the Herald Tribune. "The Idea seemed splendid to Mr. Rogers and Senator Goldwater, but apparently it did not quite catch on with the editors of either the Trib or the World-Telegram. " 'It seems that one of our department editors made a speech last May,' the Trib ed itorialized. 'It was off the rec ord and entirely personal. But Sen. Barry Goldwater, the Re publican conservative from Arizona, liked it so much that he got it printed in full in the Congressional Record last week. That is not of Itself sur prising. '"The remarks did not even remotely reflect Herald Trib une policy with regard to its advertisers-past, present and future. " 'So let it be said clearly what our policy is: We will continue to seek advertising by the strength of our product. We, as well as our competi tors, know that this is the only way to get business and keep it. . . .' "The World-Telegram, ap parently even less enthralled by Mr. Rogers' dunghill ideas on how to build a newspaper, wrote: " 'We certainly would like more ads but this doesn't seem the right approach. " 'The World-Telegram ex pects to continue calling the shots as it sees them. From time to time, this inevitably will irritate some readers. " 'But if we take a stand only to avoid clashing with a big advertiser, this would be a real violation of what we view as the function of a newspaper in our free enter prise system. " 'A newspaper's policies should be based on what its editors think is right and de cent. Then It's up to the read ers whether they buy the pa per or not. " 'Even at the risk of miss ing occasional ads, we must be judged on what we believe in. " 'We lose ads from time to time because of editorial stands, of course, but we want to be something more than an advertising handbill. " 'The constitutional guar antee that gives us the oppor tunity to publish at all de serves a fair shake on our part.' "Amen." - Pendleton East Oregonian. Anything tary associations" like coun try clubs or chowder-and-marching societies. I am not sure that labor's right hand knows what its left hand is doing. In the same week that Negro groups put organized labor on notice that its racial barriers are to be attacked, an official envoy of the AFL-CIO told a cheering throng of Jamaicans, now In dependent of Britain, that his organization would push for quota-free immigration to the United States. More than a year ago, writ ing from Trinidad, I pointed out that the Immigration and economic assistance buck would be passed to this coun try when the British West Indies became independent. This was, one must presume, what Premier Macmillan had in mind when he warned the West Indies that Britain would not be able to help them much, when he shut down West Indians' free im migration into the United Kingdom In spite of full em ployment there. Illiberal as this may sound, we shall have to think care fully about opening our doors, in the names of those already desperate in their search for jobs. And as w-e consider I this problem, our officials might take a hard look at the restrictive immigration pol icies of Jamaica's fellow Com 'monwealth nations, sparsely '. settled Canada and sparsely ! settled Australia.
