SEPTEMBER 23. 1962
Senator's
State Sen. L. V, Newbiy has responded to
the Mail Tribune's invitation to comment on fi
nancial and educational problems facing the
state during the coming biennium.
Of the eight candidates for the legislature
from Jackson county this year, six have now
taken advantage of this opportunity to present
their views.
Senator Newbry's letter follows:
To the Editor: The questions posed by you in your
editorial several weeks ago are important questions
and deserve the careful thought of not only candidates
for the legislature but of all the people of our great
state.
While the Fifty-Second Legislature will have the
immediate responsibility of trying to work out these
fiscal problems, ultimately It will be for the people
to decide how far they wish to go in the way of state
services. I point out this because historically, when
ever the legislature has taken the lead in raising taxes
or instituting new tax methods, the people have ulti
mately made the final decision at the polls through
the referendum. I think this is as it should be, but it
does leave the legislators in an awkward position in
trying to balance a budget.
In answering you questions categorically, ihe first
to be discussed is in the matter of Basic School Sup
port. In my opinion, our first responsibility insofar as
state services go is to our Primary and Secondary
School System. The $10 million increase in Basic
School Support must be met in order to keep property
taxes from rising at an alarming rate. I discussed this
problem in a letter to the editor on May 17 of this
year.
Higher education Is in the process of finalizing
Its budget requests, and they reflect an increase of
from $21 to $27 million In the next biennium. There
Is no question in my mind but what some economics
can be made in this budget, but in order to maintain
our high standards of education these reductions will
not be substantial.
The Commuunlty College Program Is one in which
I feci we can materially withdraw without serious
consequences. Only one other member of the Senate
and 1 opposed the Community College bills. At that
time I explained my vote on the floor of the Senate
by stating that until we could adequately meet the fi
nancial requirements of primary and secondary edu
cation and adequately finance higher education, we
simply could not' afford to bring a college education
to the students' back door. I am still of this opinion
and am opposed to expanding the Community College
Program beyond the present level.
I have already polnled out that substantial rcduc
llons In our major services will be hard to come by.
This, , of course, does not mean that the legislature
should not carefully screen all budgets. The Fifty
Second Assembly should make sure that all proposed
expenditures arc justified and thai no new programs
should be instituted unless Ihey arc absolutely neces
sary to the well-being of the people.
The final question is how to finance this proposed
budget. The only method of taxation available lo the
legislature at the present time Is through the income
tax. Oregon Is growing and our economy is expanding.
The present Income tax will undoubtedly provide more
money In the next biennium than it has during this
biennium.
Until the total budget is finalized, and until our
anticipated revenue is projected, it seems to me that
we should not cross bridges unnecessary. If the in
come tax will not cover the budget, as it would now
appear, then I think the legislature should review its
past studies on taxation and recommend to the people
a new tax program which will not only provide for
the present but will be broad enough to lake care of
the future growth of our stale.

Do-It-Yourself Mansion'
The question of whether Oregon should have
a state-owned official residence for its governors
has been talked about and argued about for
years. Most states 41 of the 50 to be precise
nave a governor's mansion. Five others are now
building one, leaving Oregon one of only four
states without one.
The Capitol Mall in Salem, around which are
grouped the state's offices, is laid out to provide
such an official home, but the legislature has
never approved the expenditure to build one.
Now, however the Oregon Junior chamber of
Commerce has come up with a plan to build such
a residence with non-tax funds. It would utilize
native Oregon materials, and be a show place for
the state, as well as the home for the governor.
"THE JAYCEES say the plan has met with en-
thusiastic response, even though it is still in its
preliminary, formative stages.
No architect has yet been approached, but the
Javcces envision a building costing somewhere
between $1200,000 and $.100,000.
The project, if carried through, would last for
five years. More definite plans will be presented
to the Jaycee executive hoard next January, and
a final decision will be made next June.
A Jaycee spokesman said this is a project
which, once started, will be one in which "every
one in the state can participate. This is nobody's
property exclusively. We hope that everyone will
take a hand in it."
This would be the best way to do the job, and
do it right. We wish the Jaycees success. E. A.

DYNASTY' AND ALL THAT
Washington Everyone ex
pected Teddy Kennedy lo
win his Massachusetts pri
mary, but no
one expected
him to win by
quite such an
overwhelming
margin. There
are several
things to be
said about
this remark
able primary
Aimp result, to be
gin with, the huge total of
559,000 votes rolled up by
his youngest brother rather
plainly means that the Presi
dent is still extremely popu
lar . . . with the voters, at
least in his own state. If the
rest of the country feels the
same way, the Kennedy coat
tails may have unforeseen
pulling power next No
vember. Then, loo, Hie vole seems
lo mean that the voters posi
tively like dynasties, al any
rale in Massachusetts. They
not only preferred Teddy
Kennedy to his opponent by
a margin of much more than
2-to-l. In an equally holly
tested Republican primary,
they also gave a handsome
majority lo George Cabot
Lodge, a candidate quite as
dynastic as any Kennedy.
BUT the thing that probably
most needs to be said
about this primary is that the
new dynastic system of poli
tical analysis contains a size
able clement of sheer non
sense. Obviously, young George
Lodge was helped by the fact
that his name is honored, be
cause of the public services
of his grandfather and his
great-grandfather. But he is
also a man of character and
ability, and by all accounts
he made a remarkably im
pressive campaign for the Re
publican Senate nomination.
If he had not had these extra
assets, his name would not
have counted for much.
Like Lodge, Teddy Ken
nedy was no doubt aided by
his name, and more than
Lodge was aided, too But
years ago President Kennedy
warned Tom Winship of the
Boston Globe: "Teddy Is the
best politician In our family."
By all accounts, the Presi
dent's younger brother Justi
fied this prediction by an ex
ceptintwlly energetic, good
tempered, and appealing cam
paign, while his opponent
i turned in a pretty poor show.
If the roles had been re
versed, the result might have
been reversed as well.
IN truth, what the Republi
cans like to call the "dy
nasty issue'' must come close
to arousing a certain sym
pathy for the President in any
! fair-minded person. Outside
Massachusetts, II Is pretty
; clear that t lie President is
being hurl politically by the i
I current omnipresence of Ken- j
ncdvs. Rut what can the
n . . , . , , ,,, i
President do about It?
He belongs lo a large, I
alarmingly energetic, exeep-i
tionally gifted family, most !
of whom are passionately
convinced that politics is the
only pursuit worth bothering
about. If he had not founded
the Kennedy dynasty by win
ning the Presidency, one may
he quite sure that his brother.
Ihe Attorney General, would
be trying to found the
dynasty by seeking the gov
ernorship of Massachusetts -and
with a 10-to-l chance of
success.
As It was, thr Attorney
General played a larger role
in the President's election 1
than any olher single indivl
dual. The President also
thought ha would make i
Eg
MEDFORD MAIL
good Attorney General. So
he offered him the place; and
in consequence the Justice
Department is now under
tougher and abler manage
ment than it. has known in a
good many years.
As for his other brother, it
is an open secret that the
President was very far from
enthusiastic about Teddy
Kennedy's plan lo seek the
Massachuscts scnalorhip. Be
fore Teddy Kennedy an
nounced his candidacy, in fact,
it is known, too, that the two
brothers had a long, frank
talk, in the course of which
the President outlined every
possible objection with con
siderable emphasis on the
"dynasty" issue.
TN other words, he did
everything he could to dis
suade his brother from run
ning for the Senate, short of
the one thing he could not do,
Kennedys being Kennedys.
Maybe an older brother, who
is also President of the U.S.,
has a right lo ask a younger
brother to stay In the back
room for a while, in order to
spare himself the embarrass
ment of the younger brother's
burst into the limelight. But
anyone could foresee that this
request would not be made;
and II was not.
Hence we have. the "dy
nasty ssuc." As a practical
matter, it must not only be
expected to hurt the Presi
dent a little among the voters;
it must also be expected to
be a source of occasional em
barrassment if and when
Teddy Kennedy reaches the
Senate, and his every word
and vote are laid at the White
House door.
All the same, il might be
more useful to save up part
of the energy now being ex
pended on indignation about
this matter, and to invest the
energy thus saved in a ge
netic inquiry into the appear
ance, in a single family, of
three such natural-born poli
ticians as the three Kennedy
brothers.

TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
(cl New York Herald Tnbuna Syndicate
PROGRESS REPORT
The meeting in London of
the Commonwealth Prime
Ministers is over, and the net
result might
be described
a s reluctant
without
sharp opposi
tion to Brit
ain's entry in
to the Com
mon Market.
The result
was foreshad
Lippmann
owed on Monday when the
Canadian Prime Minister, Mr.
Dicfcnbakcr. delivered a
statement expressing Can
ada's criticisms and misgiv
ings, but prefaced it by say
ing: "We wish to emphasize
first of all that the decision
regarding the entry inlo the
European Economic Commun
ity is one for Britain and Brit
ain alone, after the consulta
tion which this meeting has
made possible and such fur
ther consultation as may be
desired."
Thus one of the hurdles to
Britain's entry is removed;
there will be no revolt of the
Commonwealth. As far as one
can see now there are three
remaining hurdles. There are
the uncompleted negotiations
about British agriculture and
the Common Market. This
does not seem to be very for
midable in view of how small
is the British agricultural in
terest, and how little of it is
affected. There is. second, the
possibility that for political
reasons Gen. de Gaulle, per
haps with the help of Chan
cellor Adenauer, will make a
move to block the British en
try. This will need watching.
But the omens are favorable.
For we know that apart from
the Chancellor himself, Ger
man opinion is in favor of the
British entry, and is aligned
with opinion not only in Bel
gium, the Netherlands, and It
aly, but also, in considerable
measure, with opinion in
France itself.
The third hurdle is in the
coming election in Britain.
There is a possibility that a
coalition of old Tories and So
cialists might overthrow the
Macmillan government in a
kind of isolationist upsurge.
At this time nobody can say
what will be the main British
opinion when the full agree
ment is reached and is pub
lished. ...
I)UT there is no denying
" that British entry inlo a
closer European economic and
political community will be
an epoch-marking event. Al
most certainly it means even
tually great benefits lo Brit
ain, to Europe, and to the
whole non-Communist world.
But immediately it means
changes in old habits and al
legiances which are in vary
ing degrees alarming. How
great the changes will be no
body can now say. For much
depends not only on what
Britain can do within the Eu
ropean Community, but also
on the kind of partnership
which the enlarged Commun
ity and the United States are
able to form.
The American view is that
for Britain there is no real
alternative to joining the Eu
ropean Economic Community,
that for the Commonwealth
there is no real alternative to
working out an accommoda
possibility of racial suicide
through atomic war; she has
little to say about radiation
and its ultimate effects; she
leaves to others the disturb
ing question of the new "mir
acle" drugs and what their
cumulative effect may be in
the human liver, nervous sys
tem and reproductive process
es, Her own salient of attack
and exposure is the now al
most universal use of chemi
cals, botli inorganic and the
new organic, synthetic chem
icals sprayed wholesale upon
our croplands, forests, mos
quito swamps and tree-lined
city streets.
I will not try to reproduce
here the graphic revelations of
Ihe immense harm already
done to man's environment,
Ihe incalculable harm the fu
ture may unfold, the self-defeating
nature of many past
and present attempts lo elim
inate injurious insects, or Miss
Carson's outline of the new
avenue through which men
been in a fever of preparation
for weeks, must be followed,
it Americans generally are to
comprehend the problem and
then act upon the consensus
that surely must emerge from
an argument so vital to human
weu-oeing. i
unplotted and mysterious dan-1
tion with this enlarged
community, and that for the
United States there is no real
alternative to working out a
a partnership with the com
munity. In all this the basic
economic interests of Canada,
Australia, New Zealand, La
tin America, and the United
Slates are identical or paral
lel. Our grand economic inter
est in this new international
formation is that there should
be low tariffs in the Western
world, and that in the domes
tic measures' to support agri
culture, the support prices
should be low. We wish to ex
pand trade and regulate the
agricultural surpluses. Our
most serious concern is that
the Common Market should
not become a restricted, ex
clusive, ingrown protective
bloc, and that within it, agri
cultural surpluses should not
be expanded by artificially
high price supports.
BRITAIN within the Com
munity and the United
Stales as a partner arc cer
tain to take the' line towards
lower tariffs and lower price
supports. In this kind of trad
ing association there will be
ample opportunity for the in
dustry and agriculture of the
old dominions, and also for
the industry of Japan and
the agriculture of Latin Amer
ica, for which we have a spe
cial concern.
The action of Congress in
supporting the Trade Expan
sion Bill can be taken- as a
vote of confidence in the
Grand Design, which is to
bring all the economics of the
non-Communist world into an
expanding association. Amer
icans are hoping, therefore,
that in Europe the negotia
tions will proceed successfully
with all deliberate speed so
that the international agree
ments for agriculture and the
tariff agreements for trade
can be moved forward with
out loss of momentum.

A FUNNY THING happened in a California college re
cently. The professor who was conducting a course in
religion suddenly sprang un unpleasant surprise on his
class: an examination for
which not one student
was prepared.
As was his custom, the
professor asked for a
volunteer to lead the
class in prayer. One in
genious student jumped
to his feet and proceeded
to. pray aloud for the en
tire hour, without giving
the professor the ghost
of a chance to interrupt.
When the bell sounded at
the end of the hour, he
breathed a fervent
"Amen," and the enrap
tured students unexamined tripped lightly out of the
classroom.

POTLUCK
(By M-T Staff and Contributors)
There was a birthday parly
in the M-T newsroom several
days ago. The honorce (or,
perhaps, victim) has a reputa

lunch that day, he found his
desk covered - literally cov
ered - with peanut butter
jars, 10 of them, one from
each member of the staff.
Ordinarily one would think
that this amount of peanut
butler would last for a year
or so, but you would be fool

into community property, and

When is an angler not an
angler?
A young man was arrested
for a fishing violation, and
was brought into court. It was
testified that he was holding
a pole with the line in the wa
ter when he was arrested. But
no one - no one - testified
that there was a hook on the
end of the line.
District Judge L. L. Saw
yer, in a decision worthy of
Solomon, ruled lhat an angler
is a fisherman using a hook
to catch fish.
Case dismissed.

Last week the Senate for
eign relations and armed serv
ices committees unanimously
approved a resolution to give
President Kennedy practically
unlimited congressional back
ing to deal with the Cuban
situation.
The resolution, which won
the support of the 33 senators
on the two senate committees,
would express the determina
tion of the United States to
use ALL NECESSARY
MEANS, including the use of
arms, lo resist Ihe spread ot
Cuban communism in tha
Western Hemisphere.
It would also declare tha
determination of this nation
to prevent creation in Cuba
of an "externally supported
military capability endonger
ing the security of the United
States."
HMie resolution added:
- "Exisiting military capa
bilities in Cuba do not en
danger the security of tha
United States . . . this reso
lution is designed to maka
sure that Ihev DO NOT IN
THE FUTURE pose such a
threat. It is of crucial im
portance that this fact be un
derstood by the the United
States and by the rulers of
Havana and Moscow.
"If the Soviet Union at
temps to install, or aids in tha
installation, in Cuba, of mili
tary forces capable of endan
gering the security of tha
United Slates, it will create a
situation which I he United
Slates WILL NOT TOLER
ATE, and which could have
the gravesl possible conse
quences." rpHIS resolution, which
