(Queen) Atruffik PUBLISHERS WW VV.v-i l MONDAY. AUGUST 27. 1962 Candidate s Response A second candidate for the state legislature from Jackson county has responded to our edi torial invitation to comment on some of the state's forthcoming fiscal and educational problems. Previously the response from Al Bradford, Democratic candidate for the house of repre sentatives, was printed in this space. Today we take pleasure in publishing the answers provided by Jim Redden, another Democratic candidate for the house. Here is Redden's statement: In answer to the questions posed in your recent editorial directed to .the candidates for the State Leg islature; 1 It must first determine what the earnings of Oregon, through taxation, will be. Next, of course, the Governor's budget requests must be considered. It is difficult to know what will be on hand, and as yet it is not known what will be needed. As is the case on the federal level, lax reforms arc needed, which in combination with economic growth will help to solve the problem. I oppose any new tax without a cor responding reduction in another, and feel that the state income tax rale at present is al the point where an increase should be a last resort. A decrease in the federal income tax in January should be not be the signal for an increase in the slate income tax level. If an increase is clearly needed to solve the problems of educating our children, Oregonians do not seek to shirk their responsibility. They do have the right to demand close scrutiny of expenditures. 2 An increase in basic school support is needed. The ultimate request will probably exceed the present prediction. If the local burden can be lessened by an increase in state participation, the increase will not be as punishing. 3 We cannot shirk our rcpsnnsibility to the field of higher education. However, there are no "sacred cows" in the field of tax spending. Any department which "... says it needs . . ." many millions of dol lars must be prepared lo justify the need. If shown, the people of Oregon will not turn their backs on the youngsters who wish to continue their education. For Oregon to survive economically and for the nation to survive at all, our youth must be adequately trained to meet the needs of this era. 4 The community college program is needed in some areas of the state. We are not financially able and should not be expected lo provide a college for every community overnight. This program should and will grow steadily on a strong base. The danger, if any, In the program is from a too rapid growth with a re sulting inferior program as a whole. 5 Inequities and loopholes in the present system can be corrected. Expenditures on all levels can be examined and probably can be reduced dramatically In some areas. I believe the $108-million to be spent on welfare this biennitim is an example of expendi tures that should be more closely guarded. The num ber of public welfare recipients has increased 26 per cent in Oregon in the last 10 years to a total of 52.423 cases in 1001. Aid lo Dependent Children has increased an alarming 132.8 per cent. We know that much can he saved In this field and I plan to speak further on this during the campaign this fall. We solicit the views of the other candidates for the legislature on these important questions of public policy, finance and education. h.A Roadside Foolishness The state hichwav dreds of thousands of dollars each year advertis ing to attract tourists to our "cool, green vaca tionland," and urging them to "relax in a state of excitment. It spends thousands more landscaping the new freeways, planting grass and shrubs. This year it has painted a section of the high way at each entrance to the state green a gi gantic "welcome mat." It spends thousands ol dollars to send crews along the highway rights of way to pick up bot tles, paper and other litter, so that clean and at tractive highways will result. It puts litter cans along the highway every so often for the same purpose. IT DOES all this and TlllSN what docs it do? Why it sends equipment along the forest and rural highways to spray the green grass, weeds and shrubs aiong the wayside, turning them into border strips of scabrous brown. The beautiful stretch of forest highway be tween Prospect and Union Creek often men tioned in this column is a case in point. It is one of the most heavily-travelled scenic highways in Oregon, justly famous for the long tree-lined corridor, its forest panorama. But the roadside shrubbery looks like some thing the cat dragged in, because of the killing spray. It is a foolishness. K. A. Time for Flu Shots Flu shots are as sure a harbintUT of eold weather as baseball's sprinj; training is of warm, lieginninp; in September, according to the U.S. Public Health Service, people should get their shots in order to be protected before the coming of winter weather. Outbreaks of Type A influ enza (Asian flu) are expected in all parts of the United State1-- this fall and winter. The disease tends to strike in lwo-to-three-vear cycles and there have been few cases reported since March iii;o. The Public Health Service is recommending for the l'ir.-t time that all persons over -13 years of age be vaccinated. In previous years health officials limited their recommended coverage to those over ", the chronically ill, and pregnant women. Actually, more anil more people outside these categories now are getting them. Constant improvement of polyvalent flu vac cines (those effective against several strains) has done much to reduce the tenor once associated with this illness. Use of penicillin, sulfa drugs and other new antibiotics has helped prevent serious secondary complications. Hut it will be a long time before the public forgets the dread as sociated with the llUS-IiU'.. flu pandemic which took 10 million to Jl million lives and turned the world into a va.-t clinic and morgue.- E.K.K. commission spends hun 'Sure We 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.

ARGENTINA ON THE BRINK Buenos Aires - The atti tude of the Kennedy admin istration toward Latin Amer ican dictatorships may face its severest test here any mo ment. Argentina's semi - civilian, semi-military government is visibly disintegrating. An out right take-over by the mili tary is in the making, and there is nothing presently on the horizon likely to arrest the trend. This will almost certainly confront Washington anew with the hard choice of expediter stopped by my lathe, showing a letter post marked Guam. "I'm going mad," she wailed. "My darling writes he's coming home but his letters are still post marked Guam. I want him, I love him so much I could wor ship at his feet."

IfOLLOWING the routine of a political writer, on that afternoon I talked, as usual, to a good many people on po litical matters. One was a powerful and famous senator who bears an unduly large burden at the capital. When I went into his office he said to me, before pulling out his hand: "Have they found them?" lW h a t he really meant, and could not say. was: "Have they found the . bodies?") lit t lo later, during a con versation with a cabinet offi cer, his inter-office telephone buzzed and after a moment he spoke into it: "Thank God!" He turned to me and said, tin- j pelicvingly: found them "They have and they are all I right." j Everywhere I went on that nay - aim mis ..s a pic.M ... liiei .ii aim unauui iicu mn - u "they", ihe Utile girls. who occupied the real alien- 1,0,1 of Washington, omciai rtllll lliu'lll. ...I.

It was also an unconsciously re vealing reflection, nearly all over Washington, of a terrible fact of our limes T 'HIS fact is that we have hardened ourselves, all over this nation, automatical- ly to realitv accept the rtrcadlui that the bare physical safety of even women and children can no longer be as sumed, whether in Central Park in New York, in the very shadow of the Capitol in Washington, or. as in this ', case, in the quiet, sun-drench- ed Mreots of suburban Alex andria.

The present government of President Jose Maria Guide is in office only at the suf ference of the military. Be cause the Argentine generals have themselves fallen into apparently hopeless disunity and rivalry, there is grave doubt that even the shell of a civilian cabinet can sur vive. rpHE plight in which Ihe Ar- gentine people find them selves today is largely the leg acy of Juan Peron, the dic tator who bought the loyalty of most of the nation's work ing people by profligately spending Argentina's war time wealth on social serv ices beyond the government's ability to maintain. The re- ceiver-in-bankruptcy was at the door when Peron was ousted in 1955. Peron nor only saddled his nation with unbearable debts, but left it so class-ridden that the beneficiaries of his rule remain an embitter ed and nearly disfranchised social group of large propor tions. Not one of the demo cratically oriented political parties has been able to win more than the merest hand ful of the Peronistas who still number at least 2,500,000. Recently ousted President Arturo Frondizi thought he was popular enough and strong enough to best the Peronistas at the polls. When the voters were counted in the Congressional and local elections this spring, the Per , onista candidates were win ning nearly everywhere. To avert what it feared was n oncoming Peronista dictator ship, the military forced Frondizi to quit, cancelled the election returns, and instal led Mr. Guido at the head of a very uncertain and fragile civilian-front government. BUT lately the Argentine generals have been fall ing out among themselves. Only the frantic warning of Economics Minister Alvaro Alsogaray that the Guido gov ernment cannot continue much longer in a "slate of anarchy" has temporarily postponed a cabinet crisis. The value of the peso has been going down and the size of the Argentine debt has been going up. It will be a miracle if the Guido govern ment can hold out until next year's elections in which neither Peronisi nor Commu nist candidates will he per mitted to run for office, hut Pcronists and Communists will be allowed to vote for other candidates. Only a trusted national leader above parly would seem lo have any chance of welding together this divided nation and this divided peo ple.

FORGETTING ONESELF Watching the National Clay Courts lennis tournament re cently, 1 saw a player come within one point of win n i n g his match. He lost the cru c i a I point, and his opponent f i naily came from far be hind to win the match. llama From where I sat, it seemed clear to me that the player who lost had really beaten himself. His game was at least as good as his opponent's: his strokes were clean, his footwork agile, his strategy sensible. But it was his own temperament that finally broke him. When he lost a point, he blamed himself. On a close de cision, he scowled darkly at the umpire. When lite breaks went against him, he forgot that his opponent had bad breaks, too. He was an un attractive personality. It has been my unwaver ing obiervation over the years that 90 per cent of us beat ourselves. Nobody else does it to us. We beat ourselves in various ways by too much confidence, or by loo little; by blaming the other person, or by blaming ourselves; by too much pessimism when things look bad. and by too much optimism when things look good. The one trait In common that all great and consistent winners have is an absence of the "blameworthy" sense. They do not pout when oth ers are at fault, and they do not rage at themselves when they are at fault. In the Day's News By FRANK One of last week's strangest stones is the search among New York City's teeming mil lions for the laxicab driver who for 40 minutes sat beside James Orr. the Canadian boy who had iusl arrived from Brazil by plane with Ihe first confirmed case of smallpox in .Ilnnv in the U. S. since 1047, ihe search? The answer is that this cab driver may not have been i vaccinated. If not, he may be come a carrier of smallpox among the hundreds of per- sons he contacts each day in , Ihe course of his business. Tims a smallpox epidemic might spread. ' CMALLPOX is caused by a U v very small germ, of the ; cases, smallpox is probably carried by Ihe tiny droplets' that are shot out into Ihe air ! in coughinc, sneezing, or even 'talking. These germ-carrying droniets from an infeeled ncr. . ., ,pir u.av , " ' ,. Hls experiments started from ( another nersnni3 current belief that dairy- , pf.(An there. invasion of the rest of the body takes place. It is not improbable that the boy may have coughed or sneezed repeatedly in the course of the 40-minute trip from Idlewild airport to the Grand Central station in UESTION: Why ,vr the driver so hard to find ' The answer seems to he that he overcharged the family for the trip, and mav be afraid tliat if he shows up he will be in for disciplinary procedures JN T. THEE dns we scarcely maUp'tx a 1 housht But it wasn't aiways thus. For j centuries, smallpox w-m one Laos parently because the United States got the credit for ar ranging the peaceful settle ment, when it was the arms land armament provided by Russia to Indonesia that mads it possible. The sources say Indonesian Foreign Minister Subandrio soothed the ruffled Soviet feelings and has won a promise of support for the settlement when it comes up for approval in the United Nations. Reds in Laos American intelligence au thorities have plenty of evi dence of Communist North Vietnamese troop concentra tions in Laos, most of it ob tained by aerial reconnais sance. But they are busy try ing to get more. They expect the Communists to continue stalling the withdrawal ol the Red Viet Minh troops. And they want all possible proof of the Red presence when the) time comes to exert pressure) to force out the Kremlin stooge forces. J. Harris Occasionally, they may be beaten; but they never beat themselves. And ever the long pull, lhsy win mora , often than they lose and they win, In many cases, by simply allowing their oppo nents to beat themselves. Why Nature gives an equable temperament to some and not lo others it a mystery we can never solve. But I am convinced that it is temperamnt more than talent or brains, that determines whether we are self-fulfilling or self-destroying. The difference be tween one champion and another may be trifling in terms of pure ability; it may be vast in terms of spirit. We hear a great deal about Ihe so-called "killer instinct" in champions; and that the reason one man failed to reach the ultimate goal was his lack of this killer instinct. All this means, I think, in that in the ultimate crisis the real champion forgets himself entirely, and concentrates with pasionale ferocity upon his object. In the familiar Zen term, "the archer, the arrow and the target are one." The "near - champion" never for gets himself, never subdues himself to the object, never truly subordinates himself to the game. It is not the instinct to kill, or even to conquer, but the instinct for perfection a perfection so exquisite in it self that it obliterates the man who is achieving it. He is beyond praise, beyond blame, beyond all our sublu nary ambitions. He does not heat himself, for he does not fight himself; rather, he for gets himself in an almost holy manner.
