The fine old word "conservative" is, in the opinion of Norman Cousins, editor of the Satur day Keview, taking a beating at the Hands or a wide assortment of persons and groups who have appropriated the label for uses totally alien to the historical development it represents. It is a clear case of ideological grand larcey and something ought to be done about it." And he adds: "The term conservative has a specific background and meaning. It stands for stability as opposed to Innovation; for restraint as opposed to daring; for the preservation of inherited conditions as opposed to drastic reform. These ideas are not only compatible with a free society; they have an essential place in it, along with genuine liberalism. True conservatism is opposed to liberalism, but not destructive of it. The principal difference between conservatism and lib eralism is represented not so much by disagreement over the nature of a free society or its goals as by disagreement over the approaches. Both conservatism and liberalism serve as the twin structural supports of constitutional government." I7HO are the ones who scorn the 200-year tra- dition of democratic government in this na tion; who support the Constitution only insofar as it jibes with their thinking and who would junk considerable portions of it, along with a whole body of social legislation which has grown up through Constitutional means; who would emasculate the one institution charged with inter preting and defending the Constitution in light of todays needs, the U. S. Supreme Court; who quote the Bible in rejecting the spirit and text of the Sermon on the Mount? "Faith, hope, and charity are replaced by scorn, hate, and malice, and the chalice is filled to overflowing with bile,"1 Cousins declares. And he concludes: "Genuine conservatism is now being libeled by know-nothings. There is no reason to doubt that the tradition will survive the ordeal, but it may be unpleasant while it lasts." VES, it is unpleasant. The ultra-rightists, masquerading as conserv atives, have little interest in preserving our insti tutions and traditions of due process, civil rights, government regulation of big business, public ownership of natural resources, international co operation for peace, social and welfare legisla tion, judicial review the long, long list of things that most of us look upon as progressive and wholesome. The John Birch types of mentality, wishing for a return to a past that never was, and slash ing at all who would oppose them, are unpleasant. But not, happily, significant. E. A. Parco Time was when a public function in a city park was part of a way of life something for a majority of the community to attend and enjoy. Today, and we say this a bit wistfully, this is no longer true. The day of the 4th of July picnic, complete with fireworks and patriotic oratory is about gone. Labor day picnics, with sack races, three legged races, baseball, and keg's of beer also are virtually a thing of the past. HTllEY have, we suppose, succumbed to the automobile and the TV set. The automobile, combined with more leisure time and more money, take their outings further away. And the 1 V set brings the rest of tthe world into our living rooms, along with a variety of entertainment which ranges from superb to infantile.

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 printed In this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper: in fact the contrary Is often ha case. Justica Stewart Dissents To the Editor: Much has been published and more said about the Supreme Court deci sion on prayer in the public schools. But I have seen very little publicity given to the dissenting opinion of Justice Potter Stewart. Should we not hear both sides of the case? Here are some excerpts from the Stewart opinion. "The court does not hold nor could it that New York has interfered with the free exercise of anybody's religion. The state courts have made clear that those who object to reciting the prayer must be entirely free of any compul sion to do so . . . But the court says that in permitting school children to say this simple prayer, the New York authorities have established 'an official religion' ... I can not see how 'an official reli gion' is established by letting those who want to say a pray er say il. On the contrary, I think that to deny the wish of these school children to join in reciting this prayer is to deny them the opportunity of sharing in the spiritual heritage of our nation . . . "At the opening of each day's session of this court, we stand while one of our officials invokes the protec tion of God . . . Both the Sen ate and the House of Repre sentatives open their daily sessions with prayer. Ea,ch of our Presidents, from George Washington to John F. Ken nedy, has upon assuming his office asked the protection and help of God." Here Justice Stewurt refers to the Star Spangled Banner, the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and our coins with their references to our trust in God, then continues: "I do not believe that this court, or the Congress, or the President has by the actions I have mentioned, established 'an official religion' in viola tion ot the Constitution. And I do not believe the state of New York has done so in this case. What each has done has been to recognize and to fol low the deeply entrenched highly cherished spiritual tra ditions of our nalion tradi tions which have come down to us from those who almost 200 years ago avowed their 'firm reliance on the protec tion of Divine Providence' when Ihey proclaimed the freedom and independence of this brave new world. I dis sent." 1.. G. Weaver, 301 Haven St.. Medford Mnple Trees To the Editor: Please allow me to add my bit to Mr. Fletcher Fish's plaint about the little grove at the south end of Medford. 1, too, am a "co-owner of one tree." Many years passing the struggling trees caused a mixed feeling of pride and disgust-pride in participating in a worthy public project, dis gust at lack of care. For years sunshine and rain were the only visible caretak ers, with an occasional wind to blow the dead leaves- away. However, in recent years, since an organization has at tempted to resuscitate and re juvenale tne park, it has lost us "lack and regained its lus ter, and is now a beautiful I nark and nln fiounrl ion hnn a luiurnv n names compelled us to have to go to Italy for a name. .1.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This is written on Labor Day. Nearly-cvcrybody is taking the day off. There is an ex ception. The exception is The Press. We of The Press recognize that in this modern world NEWS is so important that even on Labor Day peo ple are going to want to know what is going on in the world. We of the newspaper are making a short day of it. But Monday's paper brings a picture of what is happen ing around the globe. Radio and TV workers will slay with it throughout the day. In this modern age, NEWS has become almost as essen tial as food and drink. IIOW did Labor Day get 11 started? It began with the Knights of Labor, a national labor or ganization established in 18H9 at Philadelphia by a disband ed union of garment cutters. In the beginning, it was a se cret society. Membership was open to anyone over 16. with the exception ot lawyers, bankers, liquor dealers and gamblers. In the 17 years following its organization, membership in the Knights of Labor grew from nothing to more than 700.000. T 1882. the Knights of La- bor decided to call the first Monday in September Labor Day. Working people throughout the c o u n t r y with the esceplion. as al ready noted, of lawyer s, bankers, liquor dealers and gamblers -then began to call for state laws to make Labor Day a legal holiday. One of the prime movers in this proj 1 ecl wns Samuel Gompers, one i ' America s early, great ahd " - ' rompers was oorn in uon- mm in laju. lit. mine iu America in 1863, at the age j of 13.

I Oregon, then a mere young, Political Maneuvers, Asian Games, Almost By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign N'i Analyst Harsh words have been ex changed these last days in Jakarta and other Asian capi tals over an event original ly intended as a festival of trie n d s h i p. This w a s an event known as the fourth Asian Games, an ath 1 e 1 1 c competition to NewMin which Indo nesia played host, and under ordinary circumstances would have little place in any dis cussion of foreign affairs. Being neither a participant nor regarding weightlifting as a great spectator sport, this writer would have been con tent to leave to the sports pages the muscular young men who go through the clean- and-jerk, the snatch and fhe military press, were it not for circumstances which are not ordinary. Matter of Fact c New York Herald A VERY COLD AUTUMN Berlin In this threatened city, there has been a lull of sorts since the storm over the murder of the young refugee on the wall and the sub sequent with- J M drawal of the c o mmundant. But the calm, it must be not ed, is wholly superficial. Alsnp To begin with, the daily round of Soviet probes and petty tests of will is quite un ceasing. These episodes, if anything, are growing more numerous. And they are cer tainly growing very much more dangerous. To cite one example, there was no public excitement when U. S. military convoys were held up, not long ago, along the autobahn where their right of transit is guar anteed. In fact, however, one of these Soviet-imposed de lays came very close indeed to the shooting stage. rpHE truth is that the Soviets - now have a calculated pol icy of perpetual harassment and attempted encroachment. The risks of this policy, as was proven by the confrontation ster among the states it had been admitted to the Union only 28 years earlier was the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday. Oregon's Labor Day holiday law was enacted in 1887. It is now a legal holiday in ALL the states. A LOT of water has gone under the bridge in the three-quarters of a century since Oregon started the pro cession for a nationwide holi day on Labor Day. Back in 1887, the automo bile was not even a gleam in the eye of its inventor. As of now. automobile ownership is virtually universal. We have so many automobiles that all of our population could be loaded into them, with room to spare. rpiIAT In fact Is about what we now do on Labor Day, which is gen erally regarded in 'he U.S.A. as the last fling i. a week end trip with all the family before school begins. If In 1887, when Oregon enacted the first law estab lishing the first Monday in September as a legal holiday, it had been suggested that three quarters of a century later automobile ownership would be virtually universal in Oregon and elsewhere in the nation, the suggestion would have been regarded as fantastically absurd More absurd, in fact, lhan is space travel in these days j proclamation of a wai emer j gency at any time.

These circumstances neared an angry climax over the week end, and weightlifting became a contributing factor when only the Indonesians showed up to participate. Results so far have includ ed an Indonesian threat to bar future trade with India, un happiness in Tokyo out ot fear of the effect on the Olympic Games scheduled for Tokyo in 1964, withdrawal of the South Korean team from the Jakarta events and a sunburst of newspaper editorials. Politics took over the games even before they started. Indonesia excluded Nation alist China and Israel, even though both are accredited by the Asian Games federation. However, neither has diplo matic relations with Indonesia, The International Olympic Committee and the Interna tional Amateur Athletic Fed eration withdrew recognition of the games. The weightlifters refused to participate when the interna By Joseph A I sop Tribune Syndicate on the autobahn, can be very considerable. Yet the Soviets' adoption of this calculated but risky policy is far from being the most alarming ele ment in the scene here. Much too little attention has in fact been paid to the hard military preparations, some secret and some overt, which the Soviets and East Germans have lately been making. These preparations began, significantly enough, not long after Nikita S. Khru shchev went to Vienna expect ing to bullyrag President Ken nt'fy into some sort of sur render at Berlin, and was in stead confronted with an in tensified U. S. defense effort. On the Soviet side, the most important step taken, and a remarkably ugly one at that, has been the installation of ground-to-air rockets com manding the air approaches to Berlin. Very large numbers of these rockets have been emplaced. T'HE emplacements, further more, differ from any as yet known in the Soviet Un ion in that the anti-air rockets have been sunk in hardened silos. They are thus relatively invulnerable to any form of attack except with nuclear bomb. It should be needless to underline their possible usefulness in the event of an ultimatum concerning West ern use of the air corridors into Berlin. In East Germany mean while, Khrushchev's odious puppet, Walther Ulbricht, is now sacrificing every other interest, conspicuously includ ing the welfare of his people, to an urgent program of total militarization. Ulbricht's disruption of his own economic programming by sudden enforcement of mil itary priorities has as much to do with the present outdoor slum - like condition of East Germany as the bad failure in agriculture and the contin uing passive resistance of most of the labor force. Fac tories have been abruptly con verted to production for mili tary purposes. The transport net has been expensively al tered. A huge civil defense program has been inaugurat ed. Standby arrangements of sinister potential meaning have been made, such as as signing trucks now in civil use to military use in case of emergency, and equipping such trucks with shovels, picks, and other engineering tools. TN ADDITION, after the ad- mission of East Germany to the Warsaw Pact last Jan uary, 500,000 young men of military age were called up for registration. Of these, 1 75- 000 were actually called to the colors. And the entire manpower pool of East Ger many between the ages of 18 and 65 has been placed on an active-reserve status. Ulbricht has further caused a decree to be promulgated, naming a national defense council with himself as its head.

The Indian vice president of the Asia Games executive committee recommended that the Jakarta games be stripped of their official status. The Indonesian government, regarding the move as a direct slap at President Sukarno, promptly instructed its trade officials to enter into no new deals with India. Federation officials of Pak istan and Ceylon denounced the Indian as "not a good Asian."

Roscoe Drurnmond reports from Washington in his absence.) (cl 1962 New York Herald Tribune Inc. WHICH COMES FIRST7 NOTHING Washington -The Soviet Union is clearing up one question for us very conclu sively. It is doing so by its acts, not by its words. Its acts are: (1) continued harassment of West Berlin; (2) refusal to accept any form of a nuclear test ban with any degree of inspection. The question, long debated in the West, which these ac tions answer is this: which comes first - disarmament as a means of reducing tensions or reducing tensions in order to bring about disarmament? It is now evident, at least at this stage, that neither comes first, because the So viets reject both. They simul taneously reject taking one practical step toward disarm ament and they reject taking one practical step toward easing tensions at the peril point in the cold war, West Berlin. The Soviets keep up the crunch on West Berlin in the following ways: they permit -or compel - the East German puppet government to murder its own people at the wall; they transfer the Soviet mili tary command from East Ber lin to Potsdam to try to force the West to deal with the un recognized East zone regime; they send armored tanks into West Berlin; they are obvious ly preparing to perpetrate the fiction of a "peace treaty" with East Germany, by which device they claim that all Western rights in West Berlin will be liquidated. AS to a test ban, the Soviet Union has now served no tice that it will not accept an end to underground testing because it will not tolerate any degree of inspection. Nor will it accept an end to atmos pheric or underwater testing, even though no inspection to check such tests is needed or sought. The United States has offer ed both - separately or to gether. fti oeneva we have sup ported a treaty which would bring a prompt cessation of all atmospheric and . under water testing without any in ternational inspection-a treaty wnicn, it approved by Mos cow, would eliminate all ra dioactive fallout hazards for all mankind.

Being introduced to a gen tleman with a particularly un attractive first name, 1 be- tnougnt my self of how the Chinese are so m u c h more civilized than the West ern world in certain ways. The Chinese give young c h i 1 d r e n a Harris "milk name" - that is, a first name which they have the privilege of changing, in later years, for one of their own selection, A good many persons go through life detesting 1 h e names their parents wished upon them, but feeling asham ed to change them, for fear of being thought affected. Yet. a name is one of the most intimate things about a person, and the name should in some way reflect the personality. True enough, in the last 25 years or so. parents hava been more thoughtful in consid ering which names to give Iheir children; but there is still a wide gap between what a person looks like and what he is called. R. F. Elie Jr. once made a survey of Anglo Saxon names, from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the be ginning of the 19th century, and came up with some dil lies. In medieval times, of course, people had only on j fU" t ji Hit Program and tried to haul down th Indian flag. In Manila, the Philippines Herald . blamed the situation on the "vicious meddling" of Red China which, it said, had forced Sukarno to turn the games into a political football. In Japan, demands that Japan also withdraw from the games were countered by dip lomatic fears of a break with Sukarno and by Japanese bus inessmen with interests in In donesia. In any event, as a gocuvill builder the games were some what less than a success. They left the future of the Asian Games in doubt and proved that politics can be carried on in an athletic "T" shirt as easily as in the striped trous ers of a diplomat. The Soviets say no. At Geneva we have support ed a treaty banishing all un derground testing with tho very minimum of periodic on site inspection in order to de termine whether an earth dis turbance is natural or nuclear made. The Soviets say no. They will accept no end to testing which permits any degree of inspection at any point under any circumstances. Not that the Soviets hava no proposal of their own. They have. They say they would sign right quickly another all - inclusive mora torium on nuclear testing -with no means of inspection -such as the Kremlin violated last September. Into that one, the U. S. isn't going to be trapped again. Remember that the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union had sol emnly and explicitly an nounced that their govern ment would never resume nu clear testing unless other ad herents to the moratorium re sumed testing first. We ac cepted that moratorium. We did not resume testing. The Soviets did - and this is the kind of test ban the Russians are now re-proposing. AT Geneva and at Berlin the evidence seems pretty con clusive that Mr. Khrushchev opposes a beginning toward disarmament as a means ol reducing tensions and opposes reducing tensions as a means of achieving a start toward disarmament. At Geneva the Soviets are shattering all hope of any kind of test ban and at Berlin they are increasing, not reducing, the most peril ous area of tensions. There is no doubt in my mind that we need to be ready for the next Soviet maneu ver, which will be a "peace treaty" with itself; that is, with its East German puppet, which is so totally bankrupt politically and economically and so coldly hated by the East German people that it can only be propped up by jailing the entire population. It is well that Secretary of State Dean Rusk has said: "We will not be forced, ha rassed, or squeezed out of West Berlin." The outlook is that we will soon have to prove our words - without flinching. J. Harris name, or a nickname.
