Oregon's Minerals
Lumbering, horticulture and general agri
culture are the three leading bases for Jackson
county's economy, and one gets into the habit of
thinking that, aside from distributing, retailing
and service industries, that's about it.
We are reminded by the current issue of the
Ore.-Bin, publication of the state department of
geology and mineral industries, that mineral pro
duction is also important here.
During 1961, the Ore.-Bin reports, minerals
valued at a total of $4,387,000 were produced in
the county.
IT DID not give a break-down of production, but
the total included sand and gravel, cement,
stone, and clay, among the non-metallic minerals,
and gold, copper and silver among the metalic
ones.
Throughout the state, mineral production in
cluded clay, copper, gold
ore, lime, mercury, nickel, pumice, sand and gra
vel, silver ($2,000 worth), stone ($20,939,000
worth, making it the largest single item pro
duced), uranium ore, zinc, asbestos, cement,
diatomite, gem stones and lead.
That is a pretty respectable record for a state
not known primarily as a mining state. Total
values were $54,922,000, with sand and gravel
following stone as an income-producer, followed
by lime.
MOT INCLUDED in the 'dollar totals (to pro-
tect the income figures of the Hanna com
pany, the only nickel producer in the state) was
nickel, but 12,800 tons of ore and concentrate
were produced at the Riddle plant.
Douglas county, because of the nickel mine
and plant, led all 3(i
Lane in dollar value of
a total of $7,001,000. Lane county's total was
$8,275,000. Baker county was third, with $4,927,
000 and Jackson was fourth. Josephine and Kla
math counties totaled $753,000 and $730,000
respectively.
Overall, production
was down 5 per cent from
the Ore.-Bin pointed out
than other business indices such as building per
mits, highway contracts, and heavy engineering
awards.
piIE ORE.-BIN'S article
"Oregon's mineral industry is active in every county
in the stale, and extends directly or indirectly into every
community as well. In sharp contrast to many of the stale's
income-producing activities, which are highly seasonal and
characterized by severe though temporary labor shortages
followed by periods of wide-scale unemployment, the
mining industry lends lo maintain a more measured and
even course throughout the year . , .
Smile mining activity decreased or stopped.
The Gas-Ice Corp. plant near Ashland ceased
iroduction after having
y JH) million pounds ot
drilled wells which yielded carbon dioxide, the
publication reports. Both mercury and lime pro
duction decreased.
But gold production, while still small, in
creased by 37 per cent, uranium production, all in
Lake county from two mines, increased, and zinc
production reached a 10-year high.
'THE ORE.-BIN iep'irtod" that the rock hound
"industry" is becoming a significant one. It
said :
"Also showing a .steady growth, despite notoriously in
efficient mining methods, lack of coordinated effort, a
eontplele dei-enliatiation of management, and with small
operations scattered over most of the slate, is the semi
precious com 'industry ' Outstanding among the commit
nilies in Ihe state which are attempting to encouraac the
roekhonnds is Ihe city of Prineville. The Crook County
Chamber of Commerce distributes maps and information
about local diKgings, and has even located its own claims
which are open lo the public. Al year's end other commu

NIXON'S IMPROVING
CHANCES
San Francisco - The trend
in a few precincts docs not
make a state-wide tide, any
more than a
few swallows
make a sum
mer. But after
rather inten
sive pavement
pounding both
here and in
Los Angeles,
this reporter
is convinced
that former
Richard ' M.
Alsnp
Vice-President
Nixon has an excellent chance
to win the California elec
tions.
This will be something of
an upset, if It happens. As al
ready reported in this space,
Morvin Field's usually de
pendable California poll now
shows Nixon's opponent, Gov.
Pat Brown, with a close-to-commanding
lead ot 6 per
centage points. The best local
judges of political form think
Field is right. And Nixon's
own polls also show Brown in
the lead, though by a mere
hairline margin.
That was not what Tom
and Joan Braden of the Oc
canside Blade-Tribune and
this reporter found, however,
when we rang doorbells in
precincts 1240 and 2180 in
Los Angeles, and in the 254th
precinct of the 18tth Assem
bly District here in San Fran
cisco. IiHESE precincts were cho
sen because, in 1960, they
divided almost exactly evenly.
The widest margin either way,
was Kennedy's lead of 108 to
103 in precinct 2180 in Los
Angeles.
The two Los Angeles pre
cincts were as like as two peas
in a pod - pleasant, semi-sub-urban
neighborhoods full of
pleasant people in the com
fortable lower middle income
range. The San Francisco per
cinct was a more varied neigh
borhood of apartments and
two - family houses, in which
Chinese, Italians, left-leaning
intellectuals, and all sorts of
other types co-cxislcd in an
amiable melting-pot style.
We look big samples of all
three precincts. Leaving out
persons who were unregister
ed, and those who were plain
ly not going to bother to go
to the polls (like some of the
less politically aware Chinese
ladies in San Francisco), our
total of polices was 136 -which
was a large sample
from three precincts which
only cast a tolal oi about 700
voles in Ihe Presidential elec
tion. 'JillK GOOD news lor Nixon

ply summed up. In all three

nedy in 1960 were now get
ting ready to vote for the
former Vice-President. But
among those who had voted
for Nixon In 1960, no one
was seriously considering
voting for Brown this year
except a solitary San Fran
cisco Chinese.
This is such good news for
Nixon, and such bad news for
Brown, because the 1960 elec
tion in California was about
as close as an election in a
very big state can possibly be.
Nixon won the state in the
end by a few thousand absen
tee ballots. It is obvious,
therefore, that if almost no
former Nixon-voters are mov
ing into the Brown column,
and if fair numbers of former
Kennedy -voters are mean
while moving into the Nixon
column, Brown is in serious
trouble.
The result varied from pre
cinct to precinct. Our pollees
in Los Angeles precinct 2100
had given 20 votes to Kenne
dy against 17 for Nixon. They
now split 17 for Nixon, 16
for Brown, and the rest un
decided; with three former
Kennedy voters among those
decided for Nixon.
The people in Los Angeles
precinct 1240 had given Nix
on 26 voles against 25 for
Kennedy. They now split 27
for Nixon against 16 for
Brown, and the rest undecid
ed; and here four former Ken
nedy voters crossed into the
Nixon column.
rpHOSE we polled in the San
a- Francisco precinct had
given Kennedy 25 votes and
Nixon 17 votes, and there
were five new voters, plus
one lady who so much dis
liked both Kennedy and Nix
on that she had not voted in
the Presidential line. They
now gave Brown 22 votes
against 21 votes for Nixon,
with the rest undecided. Two
former Kennedy-voters cross
ed over, more than balancing
the solitary former Nlxon
voter who was going for
Brown.
As already noted, three pre
cincts are not much better
than three swallows, if as in
dicative. But the consistency
of the pattern is notable ail
the same. What makes it more
notable is another pattern
which also emerged quite
consistantly. When we asked
our pollees how they would
vote if Kennedy and Nixon
were again fighting it out for
their answer showed a small
but significant Kennedy gain
in all three precincts.
The Kennedy gain that we
found will not be much conso
lation for the Democrats if
there is anything like the
trend away from Brown that
we also found. The plain truth
is that California is the one
really big stale (unless you
count Massachusetts) where
the Democrats have seemed

MISSISSIPPI AND AFTER
The President and the Attorney-General
have done
well by the country in their
h a n d 1 ing of
the Mississip
pi affair. They
have used
force without
bluster, never
forgetting that
the inevitable
wounds must
be helped to
heal. For my
self I feel, as
Lippmann
I have not felt since the Cuban
fiasco of 1961, that the Presi
dent has become the accom
plished master of the enor
mous forces he commands. For
his reward in Mississippi, he
has crushed Governor Bar-
nett's rebellion and has earned
the preponderant assent of
leading and enlightened opin
ion in the South.
The only mistake he made
was that in his desire to con
ciliate the people of Mississip
pi he trusted the Governor
too much. He trusted the Gov
ernor to use the state police
forces to prevent mob vio
lence. As it turned out, the
Governor let the mob try to
do what he had boasted he
would do but in the event
could not do. He had declared
that the police forces of the
state of Mississippi would be
interposed to prevent the en
forcement of the Federal law.
But when he was faced with
the Federal forces, he aban
doned that threat and instead
allowed the state forces to let
the mob attack the Federal
marshals. This was a sordid
ending to the doctrine of in
terposition. rjVHE DOCTRINE itself has
--been put forth recurrently
for over 160 years. Its origin
al authors were Jefferson and
Madison who, in their efforts
to nullify the hateful Alien
and Sedition Laws passed by
the Federalists, drafted reso
lutions for the state govern
ments of Virginia and Ken
tucky. The resolutions assert
ed the right of a state to nulli
fy a law which is considered
to be a violation of the con
stitution.
The resolutions were never
acted upon because after Jef
ferson's election in 1800 the
Alien and Sedition Laws were
repealed. Nevertheless, i n
1803 Chief Justice Marshall
in the famous case of Mar
bury vs. Madison laid down
the paramount rule of our
constitutional system that "it
is emphatically the province
and duty of the Judicial De
partment to say what the law
is."
The idea of interposition re
curred again on Nov. 24, 1832,
when the legislature of South
Carolina voted to nullify the
so-called "Tariff of Abomina
tions," which had been passed
by Congress. To this "Ordin-
to have a chance of a major
off-year victory.
If Nixon wins here, and if
the other big states follow the
reported Republican trend,
this election can become a
major misfortune for the Ken
nedy administration. And this
is all the more true, because
a Nixon victory will almost
certainly affect the Demo
crats' chances to gain Cali
fornia scats in the House of
Representatives, on wh i c h
they have built such high

ance of Nullification1 Presi
dent Andrew Jackson re
plied in a proclamation of
Dec. 10, 1832, declaring that
"I consider, then, the power
to annul a law of the United
States, assumed by one state,
incompatible with the exist
ence of the Union."
Since interposition is in ef
fect secession from the Union,
that was the basic issue de
cided by the Civil War.
...
rpHE THEORY of interposi--
tion, nullification, and even
secession came alive again aft
er 1954 when the Supreme
Court in Brown vs. Board of
Education ruled that segrega
tion in public schools is un
constitutional. The resentment at this de
cision has been the nucleus of
other resentments against the
Federal government, against
taxes, welfare measures, in
dustrial and agricultural regu
lation, and the like. This clus
ter of resentments against the
Federal power is the basis of
the Radical Right extending
all the way from the romantic
Goldwater to such rowdies as
General Walker.
In a great continental feder
ation like ours there will
probably never be a time
when local communities, be
lieving that their way of life
is threatened by the central
government, will not try to
resist. At the present time the
hard core of the resistance to
integration will not soon melt
away. It will persist, and
when the troops and the mar
shals have been withdrawn,
it is almost certain to recur.
TT WILL recur unless the
-- Federal government does
what it has not done since the
Supreme Court decision. It
has never worked out a pol
icy, it has never negotiated a
plan and an understanding,
with the enlightened leaders
of the Southern states, where,
as in Mississippi and in Ala
bama, the problem is acute.
It is not a sufficient policy to
be prepared to use Federal
forces to back the individual
man or child who has obtain
ed, or has had obtained for
him, a decision from a Federal
court. That is no doubt law
enforcement. What is needed
is to win consent in states like
Mississippi for a policy of
law observance.
My own hope, based on the
action of most Southern states
from Louisiana to Virginia, is
that a policy might be worked
out by negotiation which
would be based on this prin
ciple: that in the Deep South
desegregation should begin
with the educaation of the
Negro elite of lawyers, doc
tor s, engineers, ministers,
leachers, and journalists, and
that for the near future the
really difficult problems of
integrating the co-educational
high schools shall not be
pressed.
Mr. Meredith is a good sym
bol of such a policy. He is not
an adolescent. He is in fact
29, he is married and has a
family, and he is a veteran.
Quite evidently, he Is on the
way to being a leader in the
delicate relations between the
two races in his state.
I know that this approach
runs contrary to the abstract
principle of legal equality
But I believe it deals with the
problems of how - with all the
deliberate speed that the
realities permit - the principle
can eventually be carried out.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
In San Francisco last week,
Governor Edmund G. Brown
and Challenger Richard M.
Nixon rode into the final
weeks of the election cam
paign on what the reporters
describe as a wave of bitter
charges and counter-charges.
Brown talked extensively
about two candidates for Con
gress from California, both
members of the John Birch
Society, and wanted to know
at first hand whether Nixon
endorses them or repudiates
them.
Nixon countered with ques
tions about two Democrats
who, he alleges, helped to lead
the riots against the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee when it met in San
Francisco in May of 1960.
BOTH, of course, are appeals
to prejudice and have lit
tle, if anything, to do with cf
icent administration of the
government of the state of
California.
Personally, I'd much rather
hear two gubernatorial candi
dates get up and tell how they
think their state ought to be
run in order to provide better
government for the people at
less cost to the taxpayers. I
can't help thinking that would
be much better for everybody
concerned.
Modern politics is getting to
be a weird institution.

not. because I have asked
