He feels that I am corrupt young people into the ways of gambling, instead of attacking such "immoral behavior," as he thinks I should be doing. His letter points up one of the biggest flaws of the clergy in American life and that is equat ing "immorality" with gambling, drinking, smok ing, or looser sexual habits than our grandfathers practised. THESE activities damaging as they may be in extreme cases are only a minor segment of the whole field of morality. The real, the basic, the pervasive, immorality of our time is a wrong relation to other people. And this aspect is rarely dealt with by the clerical fulminators against poker games and cocktail lounges. Greed, bigotry, smugness, indifference, the calculating use of another person for one's own end all these are the sins of the spirit; and they are the sins that Jesus sins, indeed, are found more frequently among so-called "respectable" people than among the thieves, prostitutes and wine-bibbers that Jesus mingled with. The sins of the flesh are relatively innocuous; they do not corrode the whole social order, as the sins of the spirit do. Jesus was gentle with the woman taken in adultery; those he railed against were "upstanding" members of the con gregation, who prayed loudly in public and were cold-hearted and self-satisfied in their personal relations. IT IS a sign of our social llMn 1 if if' rArr linn iiiui aiiij wviay jitio vjiiic mean tuc c ii u 1 v - alent of "sexual morality." The modern Pharisees are thus able to vent their anger against prosti tutes, homosexuals, and purveyors of porno graphic material while at the same time ignor ing the profound immoralities of the market place, the political arena, the arms race, and the perversion of science for destructive purposes. We are living in an immoral age or, more frighteningly, in an amoral age. It is a spirtual malaise we are suffering from: a corruption of the idea of "right relations" between one person and another. This is the only morality that great religious teachers have ever bothered about. I Jesus parable about the mote and the beam was never more vividly exemplified than by the preachers and reformers who agitate themselves about gambling and boozing and necking (whicli are trivial symptoms of our boredom and our aim- lessness), while passively credo that passes for "civilization" today. Chris tianity should be a radical order, not a thin-lipped ney J. Harris. (c 1062, Field Sister When Forest Grove, city affiliation with Bornova, Turkey, soon, it will bring to seven the number of Oregon cities having such overseas affiliations. Portland and Medford were the first, and Medford was one of the first smaller towns in the nation. She joined Alba, Italy, in a sister-city relationship 2'- years ago. Others to date in clude Portland and Sapporo, Japan; Klamath Falls and Rotorua, New Zealand; Milton-Free-water with Wainmatc, N. Z.; Eugene and Chinju, Korea, and Corvallis and Antofagasta, Chile. Twenty-one other Oregon communities are making plans for such affiliation, and two or three more are expected to be in effect before the end of the year. Among them are Ashland, As toria, Coos Bay, Cottage Grove, La Grande, Pendleton, Koseburg and Springiielcl. rREGON is recognized as a leader in sister citv affiliations. The state itself is in the pro cess of working out a state tion with Hokkaido, Japan. And Oregon s lead is being followed by other states, notably Vir ginia, where the "Oregon Plan" of action in establishing affiliations is being adopted. John W. Snider, mayor of Medford, is chair man of the League of Oregon Cities' committee on sister-city relationships, and has travelled widely throughout the state explaining how to go about the nroieet, and encouraging cities to begin Later this month, at the American Municipal Association in Phila delphia, Pa., Mayor Snider will participate in a panel discussion of sister-city projects, and will outline the "Oregon Plan." In the case of Medford and Alba, the sister city relationship has proven heartwarming in many ways. A number of Medford people have visited the northern Italian city, and a young at torney from Alba, Pino Dutto, is now in Medford. HTIIE high point in the Medford-Alba story to date was the recent Telstar telephone conver sation between Mayor Snider and Mayor Osvaldo Oagnasso of Alba. Alba has named a street Via Medford, and early next month Medford will rename a city park "Park of Alba." Other cities have had similar experiences.

Parking Problems To the Editor: Just want to say a big "thank you" to Med ford city council for approving the request from downtown city merchants to conduct sidewalk sales during Aug. 30-31, and giving free parking everywhere. Without the downtown merchants for the many past years, there would be no Medford today. We cus tomers think these merchants should be given this break much oftener. It's to the town's Interest to help these merchants in solv ing their problems. The beautiful growing Southern California city of Ontario (often times called "little Los Angeles") put In downtown parking meters. The slogan is, "The customer is always right." They did not like the parking meters. What did the merchants do about it? They moved out and started building large shopping cen ters, with plenty of free park ing space for everyone, leav ing empty buildings in down town. Now I ask you, are empty buildings attractive? Or good advertisement for a wide awake city? Would that "Make Medford Beautiful?" It could happen here. Please observe the many cars parked at our new and growing shop, ping center here on Jackson. In a few more years, Med ford may have spacious shop ping centers out from down town in all directions. Do we want our new civic center building to then be located in the center of a semi ghost town? What did Ontario, Calif., do to prevent their fair city from becoming a semi ghost center, downtown? They took the parking meters out. Oh, you say, that cannot happen here. Well, it may be later than you think. How many stores for the past two years have run big sales ads -qutting - going out of busi ness, etc.? Now let's take a look at the possible bright side of tile near future. Soon we will have a wonderful new highway to Crescent City, Calif., to the city's new com mercial size pier for shipping by water, also soon we will have natural gas for the val ley's nerds. In another ten years will Medford be three times the size in population than now? And in our locations where now are pear and other fruit orchards, will there be fac tories, with steady year around employment and vast housings? Yes, it could hap pen here. Let's not be asleep and let the opportunities pass hy to some other location. The're many city problems, we know, hut the greatest of all is a ghost town problem, or a stunted town that cannot grow. Do not be too smug about it, for I repeat it could start happening here and much sooner than we think We welcome large shopping ! centers out all around, but give us good free parking for downtown shopping and it will prosper also.

Being Teamed together a drug taken after conception had occurred. 3) Ridicule can have no effect on this ques tion. The child, until birth, is, let us say, insensitive to ridi cule. Surely Mrs. Casey does not propose to dispose of all deformed people now living because they may be subject to ridicule - from ignorant people. 4) Mrs. Casey has con fused the place of God's will in this matter. Remember, we are concerned with the ques tion of life. We would hope Mrs. Casey does not Imply uod is indifferent toward hu- man life. But if He is not in different and does not will that a child be born, then He must will the child be killed. If this is so, Mrs. Casev finds herself in the same posttion she previously deplored being taken by others. True, if Mrs. Casey runs in front of traffic and is killed, it is because she would have been foolish. I would not think, however, such carelessness would be in accordance with the fact that God has willed man to be re sponsible. 5) People may con fuse carelessness with God's will. OK. Now, was Mrs. Fink bine careless in taking the harmful drug (Mrs. Casey's point is not clear to us here)? But whether or not Mrs. Fink bine acted carelessly in taking the drug is of no relevancy. The taking of a harmful drug, carelessly or otherwise, is one thing. The taking of an inno cent life is something else. The taking of such life violates the natural law, and therefore not in accordance with Him who designed the natural law. To argue the life of an un born child may be taken be cause of the possibility of mal formation implies malforma tion destroys the purpose of life. Surely Mrs. Casey will agree such an implication would be unsound. Robert J. Howard 702 Beekman st. Medford Dr. Chu and Ancestors To the Editor: Dr. Ng Png Chu was vice president of a large Chinese A m e r i c a n steamship company plying its trade between our Pacific coast and the Orient. He had resided in San Francisco twenty years and spoke per fect English, even better than comes out of Hollywood. He was called the Chinese Mark Twain. Among other things of in terest he said, "I understand that many of you Americans are proud of your ancestors who came over in the May flower about 300 years ago. Well, the Chu family trace their ancestry to a prime min ister who lived about 1500 B.C. A prime minister is a good place to start your fam ily tree. We do not trace back any further than that lest we find one of our ancestors swinging from the limb of a ,rce b' n' ,n'l!" (Laughter Then he added, "I understand that some of mv American friends can trace their ances try to one who swung from the limb of a tree by his neck." (Laughter and some groans). Then Dr. Chu proceeded to give us a vivid picture of con ditions in his native land. At that time Japan was trying to weaken and destroy the Inde pendence of China. He con cluded by saying he feared the day when Japan would have a severe stomach ache from trying to digest too much broken up China.

GRIGG United Press International Paris The "log cabin to White House" tradition may apply in Washington. But it became clear again to Euro Matter of Fact ey (cl New York Herald Tribune Syndicate (Joseph Alsop is on vaca tion. During his absence his column will be written by leporteri expert in national and international affairs.) THE SAVVY AMERICAN Saigon, South Viet Nam Those overly- caricatured "ugly" and "quiet" Ameri cans in this war-racked little Southeast Asian nation are being replaced among the soldiery anyhow by a grati fying number of United States Army officers and men who might be called, without flattery, the "savvy" Ameri cans. The Army still has a good ly number of grumblers and petulant malcontents on as signments here, plus its full quota in all ranks of regula tions and "book" worship pers, the non-imaginative and unseeing, the deadheads. There still are the inevitable Army time-servers here, wait ing only for the end of their tours. But in general, and especi ally in field advisory posts with the South Vietmanese army and in the sensitive jobs of counselling South Vietmanese officers and civi lian officials on politico-military programs to fight Com munists, the Army men on duty here are impressive. The sleeping giant, called the U.S., had better rub the sleep out of his eyes and look around lest, like Gulliver, he find himself bound to the ground by tiny strands no one of which could hold his little finger. We are being destroyed from within by threads of isms that appear innocent or insignificant but are gradual ly sapping our power or wil lingness to heal our own ills and shortcomings. Wake up, wake up, America. The days are growing shorter and lost hours can never be recalled. L. G. Weaver 301 Haven St. Medford Puerto Rico To the Editor: Western cities trying to attract industries should emulate Puerto Rico, which has managed to attract some 500 factories in the last decade or so by offering tax concessions and cheap labor. Puerto Rico is only 100 miles long and 35 miles wide. It has a lot of people and like most islands in this area, a very high birth rate. It ex ports merchandise and people to the mainland. Puerto Rico should be given its independ ence instead of statehood. Once one of these islands is taken into the United States, our imperialistic minded poli ticians will try to admit oth ers. O. L.

Deer Project To the Editor: The Rogue Valley Alumnae Chapter of Delta Gamma were very gratified by the wonderful response of many persons to our project of a deer for the blind children at the Schol for the Blind in Salem, Ore. Aid to the blind has always been a Delta Gamma national proj ect. We wish to thank all those who participated in the bene fit bridge dessert in January, the proceeds of which affair made the deer possible. Mr. James Martin, the taxidermist from Eagle Point, took over from there and did a wonder ful job indeed.

Rogue Valley Alumnae Chapter of Delta Gamma, Medford. of Being U.S. Ambassador peans this week that It does not always work when it comes to representing the United States abroad. Gen. James M. Gavin flew home with his family after Joseph Alsop Notably the "savvy" ones. fTHOSE are the soldiers who have learned that this war involves not only battalions and machine guns, but also politics, economics, minority factions, civic action, and that group in each nation of the world to which most armies heretofore despite pious platitudes to the con trary have been strangers: the people. The United States Army is not engaged here as a mili tary machine in direct con flict with the Communists. Of ficers and men assigned to duty in South Viet Nam are advisers only. They some times briefly become com manders, in effect, of the units they advise, notably during combat operations with South Vietnamese com panies or battalions having inexperienced leaders. But the Americans' main job is not to fight (although they can shoot back if shot at) and not to lead. It is to ad vise. "If I think the commander of this regiment is doing or planning something haywire, i can advise against it," one American explained. "But, if he doesn't like my advice, he can tell me to climb a rope and sometimes does." rpHIS responsibility without authority irks some American soldiers here, con vinced their advice if taken could mean more defeats for the Communist guerillas. But the restraints on their authority, plus experience in the field here and much close- hand study and reflection on Communist tactics and ways to thwart them have widened visibly the politico-military knowledge and understanding of many American soldiers here who previously were concerned with war and the profession of arms only in their most restricted, mili tary sense. Thus, a veteran American paratroop major pounded the side of his jeep on a Mekong delta road recently and ex claimed, "It's not artillery or jumpers or airplanes or tanks that's going to win this war. "We can win this one only if we get these farmers and the Saigon clerks behind this war, really on the govern ment's side. And we can do that by making life a little better for them, not much, just a little, maybe by curing their kids' yaws or seeing the old man keeps a little more of what he earns or grows, giving them something they want to keep, some incentive to side with us." He grinned, a quick, mirth less grimace, his teeth flash ing white in his dusty face. "The psychologists have a word for it, don't they? motivation. "This war isn't going to be won only with guns or propa ganda or carbolic soap for sores, though. We have to use them all, of course. But we have to remember this: this is a people's war. If we get the people, we win: if the Communists get 'em, we've had it here." rpHIS is the kind of "savvy" found increasingly among American soldiers here, from the farm villages in the steaming Mekong delta to the long-house villages of the mountain tribesmen on the cool, misty high plateau, among men who six months or a year ago thought of war as regiments and bombs and rarely if ever in terms of children's yaws or a village's rice crop. These are the Americans, wearing guns, who worry and scheme for a new well or a medical dispensary for a vil lage, who insist South Viet Nam's army must be present ed to South Viet Nam's peo ple as a friendly and helpful force concerned first with them. This is the kind of "savvy" which is difficult to translate into action through the South Vietnamese government, how ever, given the restrains on authority within which an American adviser can suggest but not order, plead but not dictate. And difficult to translate into action also be cause of the South Viet Nam government's thus far slug gish attempts to get its peo ple on its side in the war here. Nobody can tell yet if the broadened politico military knowledge acquired by many Americans here will speed or even bring victory in South Viet Nam's war. It should help, if the South Vietnamese government responds to it and the people respond to the South Vietnamese government. Best Men less than a year and a half in the critical job of United States ambassador to France. Gavin reiterated to report ers that his main reason for giving up this front man job for the United States was "urgent personal considera tions." Chief of these was that he simply could not afford it. The same problem will face his successor Charles E. Boh len, a career U. S. foreign service officer with a highly distinguished record includ ing ambassadorships in Mos cow and Manila but no sizable personal fortune. Unlike Gavin, Bohlen does not have a family of young children to put through school. But he will feel the strain nonetheless. The U. S. ambassador to France receives the highest foreign service salary of $27, 500 all of it taxable. He also receives an annual ex pense allowance of something more than $25,000. But it is not difficult to see why he has trouble simply making ends meet. It is not a question of the ambassador living high off the hog. It is not only the offi cial dinners and July 4 open house receptions. Every senator, every con gressman, every American big business executive who arrives in town expects to Washington Report By William (c) United Feature Syndicate REPORT CARD Washington As the first full Congress of the Kennedy administration draws to a painfully un hurried close, it seems sea s 0 n a b 1 e to evaluate the p e rformance to date of the P r e s ident's foreign policy team.

Nor, the morning's dispatches tell us, do they have any prime suspects. But they do have an inven tory of the cash that was stolen. It was chiefly in rela tively small bills. Of the $1, 551,277 that was hijacked, there were only two $1,000 bills and only 120 bills of $100 denomination. The remainder was broken down as follows: $24,000 in $50 bills; $492,000 in $20s, ioi,uuu in ?ius, $139,000 in $5s, $4100 in $2s and $42,000 in one-dollar bills. This is considered a handi cap to the authorities, as these denominations are in such common usage as to make their disposal relatively easy. If the bulk of it had been in big bills, detection of the rob bers would have been easier, as the passing of a big bill tends to be noted by the re cipient of it. I TNCLE Is the loser.

Kennedy instructed the State Depart ment to pay expenses over and above his blanket ex pense allowance. But that meant that Gavin had to turn in an expense ac count for just about every taxi he took. There were many items ha could not charge up at all such as the wardrobe needed by his wife for official enter taining. It has been estimated, with out contradiction, that Gavin's predecessor, Amory Hough ton, a millionaire industrial ist, spent $50,000 annually out of his own pocket over and above his salary and official allowances. Gavin could not afford that, nor will Bohlen be able to. Since Gavin's resignation was announced Europeans have been asking just how long the high cost of repre senting the United States abroad means that the best man for the job will not nec essarily be able to afford it. S. White lations. Here, Ball's case tha bill to give the President en larged tariff-cutting authority as part of this common mar ket approach is much bet ter than Ball's grasp of con gressional subtleties and re alities. TTNDER Secretary George U McGhee "A" for his most important, if unassigned, responsibility: to help Rusk, and ultimately the President, to keep down the extremism from left and right which is the endless enemy of sensi ble foreign policy; "A" for congressional relations, too. Walt Rostow, chairman of the State department policy planning group "A" for his work in helping prepare policy alternatives of all sorts in a tricky and nasty cold-war world; "C plus" for congres sional relations. This latter mark, while poor, is not Rostow's fault. Actually, he has no special business having any congres sional relations. And those he has had have been thrust upon him by a few congressional suspicions that because he is a professor by trade, he must be as dreamy about the na ture of the Communist chal lenge as some professors are. In truth, he is a good, thinking anti - Communist, as distin guished from the sort of anti Communist who is largely oc cupied with crying out how very anti-Communist he is. lllcGEORGE Bundy, While House foreign policy ad viser "A" for a kind of work similar to Rostow's. No mark for congressional rela tions for the reason that Bun dy really has none, and should have none. Adlai E. Stevenson, head of our delegation to the Unit ed Nations "A" for the very debatable function of "getting along" with others in the UN, particularly tha Asians and Africans; "C mi nus" for the responsibility oS strongly representing the views of the United Stales government at the UN; "D mi nus" for congressional rela tions. Assistant Secretary of Slate (for United Nations affairs) Harlan Cleveland "A" for tireless devotion to a poor cause, which seeks a UN of usurped and medding power over the affairs of sovereign nations; "F" for the wisdom of his advice to superiors on same; "D minus" for con. grcssional relations. ASSISTANT Secretary of State rfor foreign affairs) Mennen Williams "A" for the same devotion to African "i n dependence" aspirations; the same failing grades on the other two points as for Cleve land. Assistant Secretarv of state (Far East) Averell Harriman "A" for courage, initiative, and willingness to take ppr sonal responsibility and risk in a tough diplomatic area; "A" for candor: "C" for con gressional relations. Summing up, the principal weakness in the President's foreign policy team is found in that section of the team which was forced upon him by the Stevenson wing of the Democratic party and which deals primarily with UN af fairs Stevenson himself and his associate. Harlan Cleveland. (Ball, though also a "Stevenson man," is less pas sionately in the Stevenson cult and Is. moreover, an excel lent man on foreign trade questions.)
