MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1962 Persuasion and Teaching A considerable portion of my daily mail comes from the crackpot contingent those fluent, pas sionate and persistent men who are perpetually writing long letters, diatribes, broadsides, mani- iestoes and denunciations of everything from world affairs to water supply. All these people desperately want to persuade their readers but they lack the faintest idea of the persuasive process. Lven when they happen to be right (as I think some of them are), they de feat their own purpose pression. They blame the world for turning a deaf ear to their proposals and protests; but the fault is theirs, for failing to understand people ana tne nature of education itself. A LL persuasion is a form of teaching, and teaching is the highest and rarest of arts. In his new book, "Guide to Thomas Aquinas," Josef Pieper, the German scholar, points out that "teaching in the real sense takes place only when the hearer is reached not by dint of some per sonal magnetism or verbal magic, but rather, when the truth of what is said reaches the hearer as truth." Teaching presupposes, Pieper says, "that the hearer is sought where he is to be found." This means that the teacher has to understand the condition and disposition of the hearer, that he "must proceed from what is valid in the opinions of the hearer to the fuller and purer truth as he, the teacher, understands it." The crackpots do not move toward the hear ers; they expect the hearers to come to them. They do not appreciate the counter-arguments, they do not take seriously the elements of truth in the opposite position us, there are no entirely WHAT the good teacher does is to start not from Vila nun nneitinn hut fmm flip nnsit.inn of his audience. 1 hen he tries to move them irom where they are to where he thinks they ought to go. The bad teacher starts from his own position, and pull and prod though he may, he cannot move others. Truth, as Socrates never tired of showing, de velops only in dialog, in conversation, in the give-and-take of opinions. The teacher, the persuader, must always be willing to make out a better case for his opponent than his opponent could make out for himself and only then to advance his own position. The crackpots are not ignored because they are ahead of their time, or because they are wrong. They are ignored because they do not want to persuade they want to proclaim them selves right, and all others wrong. Sydney J. Harris. Copyright 1962, Field Enterprises, Inc. Hoover On the Press Law enforcement and arate pureuits, have an helping to preserve our tage. Both professions perform a sustaining and vital service . . . Freedom of the press able adjuncts of a democracy. Our forefathers felt so strongly on this point as to enact constitu tional safeguards, stating, "Congress shall make no law .... abridging the of the presss . . . ." The the newspaper editors real beneficiaries of this honored principle. The free flow of legitimate information, un shackled by censorship, is a basic right not al ways fully appreciated by the public. Without it our society, as we know it, could not long survive. MISINFORMATION and suppression of news are deadly enemies of a free people. In our world today these dangers are exploited by those who would destroy our way of life. Accordingly, the newspaper's role in keeping the public in- tormed becomes increasingly significant. Integrity in journalism, as in law enforce ment, cannot be a matter of nercentaees. It must be complete and impregnable. As guardians of American liberty, the press and the police are charged with a sacred trust . . . In addition to its innate responsibilities, the press is morally obligated to promote the further ance of justice and the perpetuation of law and order. Indeed, much of the progress our profes sion has made in raising tessionai status is curecuy aunouiaoie 10 tne sup port of editors and publishers who recognize the need for effective law enforcement , . . A CTUALLY, most public service conducted by newspapers aid ment of law. Such worthy slum clearance, drives promotion ot youth programs are a few examples. This is in addition to the gratifying results achieved by the press, and other news media, in locating fugitives from justice. For instance, since the inception of the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" program, more than one third of the 157 criminals apprehended were located as a result of publicity. It is only fitting, therefore, that we of law enforcement join in special tribute to the Fourth Estate during National Newspaper Week, Oc tober 14 through 20. As America's first line of defense, law enforcement is fully aware of the contributions to the welfare of our country made uy conscientious editors and newsmen. We have come to welcome and to depend on them. In discharging its responsibilities, law en forcement could not wish for a greater allv.

No' Vote Urged To the Editor: In 1952, the League of Women Voters, the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats, along with many other far-sighted lndivi many other far-sighted indi viduals and groups, backed an amendment to the Oregon Constitution which passed, and which gave Oregon the fairest apportionment system in the United States. At the present time Oregon Is still number one in the Na tion, but a group from East ern Oregon has placed Meas ure No. 9 on the ballot. If passed, Ballot Measure No. 9 would allow the least popula ted counties of Oregon to have four times the number of representatives in the Leg islature by population, as the same population in the more populous western counties have In the Legislature. At the present time, these same areas have twice as many representatives by population as the more populous western counties. 'This present weight ing in favor of the rural coun ties is tolerable, but to double their advantage is unaccept able. I urge a "NO" vole on Bal lot Measure No. 9. Richard H. Muller 3832 S.E. Woodslock Portland, Ore. What Is Needed To the Editor: There is an old saying, "people are al ways down on things they are not up on. ' This applies to Fluoridation. There is so much information available today from scientific sources and from the medical and dental literature on the dangers of adding poisons to our food and water supply that one cannot help but feel a sense of sympathy for those who go out blindly advocating the addition of sodium fluoride to one of the finest sources of water In the country, the Med ford WRter system. One would think that the experiences of thalldlmidc, and the more re cent disclosures by Rachel Carson, scientist, noted mar ine biologist and author of several books, in her book "Silent Spring," recently chosen the "Book of the Month" for October. In which she describes what is happen ing to the health of the Amer ican people thru the use of powerful insecticides and pest icides; one would think these disclosures would be enough to warn our people of the im pending dangers from the add ition o( such toxic materials to our food and water sup plies.

I MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, -Heard calls to mind the meeting at the courthouse in 1956 at which several doctors and dentists spoke, one of whom was Dr. Dotter of Portland. Dr. Dotter had stated in Port land, and was quoted by the Oregonian, "sodium fluoride was not harmful, even if eat en," At this meeting Dr. Dot ter was offered a can of fluor ide and a spoon but promptly replied with indignation, "what are you trying to do, kill me?" - which remark needless to say, is vastly dif ferent from the one he was quoted to have made in Port land. Sodium fluoride as the doctor knows, is an accumula tive, protoplasmic poison, in any amount. Sodium fluoride is already being Ingested in large amounts through the use of some chemical fertilizers, according to Dr. Pottenger of Monrovia, Calif., a member of the L. A. Air Pollution Com mittee. What is needed is not so dium fluoride, but greater publicity and advertising given to the dangers of eating (he degenartive and devital izing foods we are consuming these days. We would then be presenting a frontal attack on the problem. This would soon not only end the tooth prob lem but would solve the Pres ident's concern on the failing health of the youth of this na tion. Be informed, be alert, and Investigate, before you fluoridate. J. Verne Shangle 1445 Kings Hwy. Medford. Conquers All To the Editor: Searching the Bible thoroughly I fail to find in any Scriptures where man should be ashamed of his nakedness. Why did God make Adam and Eve clothing of animal skin? (Gen. ch. 3, V. 10). Be cause they were afraid. (Job ch. 7 V. 21). "Naked came I out of my mother's womb and naked shall I return." (James ch. 2, V. 12 T's 1). If a broth er or sister be naked and des titute of daily food, any one of you who say unto them be thou warm and filled, and say unto them depart in peace, and give them not these things needful to the body what do cth it profit. The mention here Is to cov er the body for warmth, not to hide the body in shame. (1st Cor. ch. 4, V. 11). Even unto the present hour we both hunger, thirst and are naked. We are buffeted and have no dwelling place. (1st Cor. ch. 5, V. 3 & 4). Being clothed we shall not be found naked.

In addi tion two new' companies of just - arrived 20 R21 heli copters, two more are on the way and a com pany of new jet tur bine choppers has been ar riving piece m e a 1 over Newsom the past 2V months. The additions will give the U. S. a total of 184 helicopters in Viet Nam. Informed sources say the goal is one company for each of Vitenam's nine army divi sions, or a total of 204, most of them capable of carrying a squad of troops each. Some have been armed with 50- for that we be unclothed, but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up by life. In Luke the man possessed by devils was not insane but rather acted evily; his body did according to what the dev ils put into his mind. Jesus nor the people were ashamed for his nakedness. As for worthless pleasures who among the living does not participate in worthless pleas ures of one form or another? One worthless pleasure is as great a sin as another's worth less pleasure, (Hebrews ch. 4 & 12 and 13). A deceiver of thoughts and intents of the heart. All things are naked and open unto his eyes. (Rom ans ch. 8, V. 36). Who shall separate us from the Lord? Not distress, not persecution or famine, nor nakedness. (V. 37). Nay we are all Conquer ors through him that loved us. E.

CARE Helps To the Editor: As tolls of the Iran earthquake mount, CARE relief teams continue to distribute food, blankets, special kits of household uten sils end other aid, reaching remote shattered villages with the help of U.S. 'copters flown from Germany. As CARE also urges support of the relief program by the American public, we are proud to ad vise your readers of the main tenance of controls and checks to assure that the vic tims receive the help intend ed for them. The first of CARE's emer gency aid was distributed less than 24 hours after the disas trous quakes, leaving about 40.000 homeless and at least 10,000 injured, according to cabled reports from CARE Iran. Twenty CARE represen tatives are in the field, some air-lifting aid to mountain vil lages with the help of the 'copters. CARE also has been asked to help with distribu tion of tents and supplies from other agencies. When reports reach the re lief centers in Booyn and oth er stricken villages, a CARE team leaves with stocks of food to ensure each survivor has enough for 10 days: 20 pounds flour, 5 pounds bulgar wheat, 4a pounds beans, IV2 pounds cooking oil, 2 pound sugar and 3 ounces tea. The sugar and tea were locally purchased as these are nation ally loved and help build mor ale of shocked survivors. CARE teams reach about 25 villages each day, coupling speed with organized and co ordinated distributions. With winter coming on quickly in the mountain areas, the help of army 'cop ters in what is now known as "Operation Beyond" is in creasingly important. CARE continues to push ahead with relief as needs mount, urging support of this emergency pro gram by the American pub lic. Contributions may be sent in any amount to the North west CARE office, Frederick A: Nelson, Seattle, or to local volunteer outlets. CARE thanks every donor for this help. Northwest, CARE Office!

Jesus Lives To the Editor: Re your ar- j tide, ".Man's Strength," Wed-1 nesday, Sept. 26. i Certainly, the men men tioned in your article have contrasted the characteristics of man, and what lies deeper, the spiritual forces. But in the second category there is a name that does not belong there: Plato, Aristotle. Gali leo. Newton, Jefferson, Ein stein and Gandhi are dead, c V calibre machineguns and rock ets. Exubria French officials see hope ful signs of what could be the beginnings of a drift back to Algeria by the 600,000 Europeans who fled to France. For the first time since last June, the numbers of retun ees has exceeded the num bers of those still fleeing to France by boat and plane. Algeria desperately needs dead, dead; while Jesus is alive and lives forever more. "Well," I hear you say, "does not the Scripture say Flesh and blood shall not in herit the Kingdom of God? And was not Jesus flesh and blood?'" Right you are in both cas es, but consider now, Jesus lost His blood on Calvary -poured out for you and me; He came forth from the tomb, flesh and bones, (Lu. 24:39) but animated by the Spirit of the Living God. He could pen etrate the walls, or through the locked doors could enter a room; He was seen by Ce phas, then by the the twelve; after that He was seen of above 500 brethren at once; after that He was seen of James, then of all the Apos tles, then of Paul. (1st Cor. 15: 1-8). We think of the men ven turing out in the stratosphere and their presumptuous at tempts to attain to those far away orbs by mechanical means and compare such ac tions with the former motives and actions of the men that built the tower of Babel, God was not pleased with that project. Christ is the only way and through His grace that He bestows. "The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath sur prised the hypocrites, who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us s h a 1 1 dwell with everlasting burnings? He that w a 1 k e t h righteously and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppres sions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hear ing of blood and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the muni tions of rocks', bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure; Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty they shall behold the land that is very far off." (Isa. 33:14-17). James Williams P. O. Box 441 Jacksonville, Ore. Beekman House (Editor's note: The follow ing letter recently was sent to (he president of the Univer sity of Oregon, and has been made available for use in this column.) Dear Sir: Recently my two older sons and I attended some of the Shakespeare Fes tival at Ashland, Oregon-and enjoyed it greatly. On Sunday afternoon we drove to Jack sonville and were pleased to walk around this historic old town and feel a little of the ptmosphere of the pioneer west. In one of the shops the attendant suggested we stop at the Beekman House, and we were happy to follow his suggestion. I am writing to express our appreciation for this very un usual and truly delightful house and for the very com petent and gracious way we were shown about. We were told, upon our inquiry, that the house belongs to the Uni versity of Oregon. I hope very much it will be continued as a historic house and that it will be open to the public under very much the same arrange ments as now exists. So many of the historic sites one visits are very contrived. They ap proximate, but do not really catch the mood of the times The Beekman House has both ilie aspect and feel of authen ticity. It is a gem, a perfect example of a loved and lived- in home with the tasteful and treasured furnishings of a middle-class western family of the previous century. Maybe it's because I am getting a little too full of "Century 21" and all the gim micks and gadgets that are supposed to make life excit ing and wonderful both here and somewhere out in space rs exemplified by the Seattle World s Fair. But deep inside many of us I am sure there is the need to be reminded of some of the abiding values and virtues of our past, and such quiet, honest reminders is Beekman House are very refreshing. In Seattle now our Historic al Association is hopeful of finding a few fine old houses that can be saved from the ravages of freeways and high- rise developments, and that can be furnished with things appropriate to the age - be fore these houses and furnish pigs have been entirely dis sipated. But however well done, such a project will be little more than a museum. How fortunate Oregon is to and French know-how. To the People President Charles de Gaulle remains supremely confident that the French people will back him again solidly In the Oct. 28 consitltutional refer endum. De Gaulle is demand ing changes to make the French president elected di rected by the people. He is opposed by politicians who see in his plan for a strong to have captured In Beekman Hnnse a family personality and a home. Please keep it and treasure it for the lovely thing it is. All good wishes. Mrs. Arthur G. Barnett, Route 3, Box 3247, Bainbridge Island, Washington. A Century Hangover To the Editor: In 1857 the Supreme Court rendered a decision having to do with slaves escaping from the South. Right or wrong, that decision helped to bring on what Paul Harvey calls, the Uncivil War." In both North and South there were men, wise and moderate, who were trying to settle the slave question with peace and justice. But there were hot heads that demand ed complete abolition of slav ery immediately. On the other side were similar characters who shouted, "No d n Yan kees can tell us how to run our affairs." And so, as usual when radicals meet radicals, blood flowed. One hundred years ago last week the Yanks and Rebels were fighting for con trol of the state of Mississippi. Last week "Ole Miss',' observ ed an unintended Century Celebration of the conflict. Note the similarity of the causes and attitudes. A Su preme Court decision dealing with the Negro prooiem a radical group demanding im mediate action; another group determined to oppose the ac tion; radicals Vs. radicals, riot and bloodshed. Now let us consider the two principal actors in the drama. There was James Meredith, a Negro determined to enjoy his constitutional rights by enrolling in a cer tain school where he knew he was not welcome. It was not a question of his life or liberty but of the privilege of attending school where he wanted to regardless of the cost. On the other was Ross Barnett, governor, determined to stand on the tradition of segregation. I was born and reared In the South and have lived many years in other parts of the land. I have some under standing of both sides of the matter, but I doubt if either of these two men had any idea the matter would bring such dire results. But this is an example of what happens when important issues get into the hands of stubborn, radical men with power behind them. In our fine talks about constitutional rights, many people and some organizations overlook an Important truth, viz, "My rights end where the other man's rights begin." Sometimes, for the sake of higher consideration, we must be willing to compromise even forgo some rights. . course, we should recognize that compromise means both sides must be willing to give a little. If one or the other is unyielding In his demands there is no compromise, only surrender or fight. Much of the world's trouble today hinges on just such circum stances. L. G. Weaver 301 Haven st. Medford. French technicians Compassion To the Editor: Recently a speaker representing the Unit ed Crusade was met by work ers at a plant who turned their backs and walked away. Civilizations before ours have reached greatness. Egypt, Greece, Renaissance Europe are a few. Never be fore in the history of man has there been so much OR GANIZED good being done for people needing help; the widow, the unwed mother, the orphan, the disturbed, the ag ed. We see in twentieth cen tury America a distinctive Humanitarianism uncommon to the great societies of the past. We are attaining It through organized and volun tary aid for our brothers. Perhaps this Humanitarian ism will be the only thing that saves our society, our way of life, from the ruin other great civilizations have known, but it will take the MAJORITY of us believing In compassion for those less fortunate for America to achieve it. If we can only stop thinking of life as a race for selfish material gain, and start thinking of the needs of others. No one can turn his back to improv ing the human race. Mrs. L. L.

White (e) United Feature Syndicate JFK'S PROBLEM Washington-The long, long Congress now drawing to its close presents President Ken- mi ;! nedy with a most difficult p r o b lem in v C vTj low to point v jb wnn pnaa and view with alarm at one and the same time - and not do too much of either. The President, a s- sisted by Vice President John, son, has assumed leadership of his party's drive to return in next month's elections a Con gress yet more Democratic than the old. But his work is cut out for him, in more senses than one. Apart from the apparent re surgence ,of Republican strength, particularly in the Middle West, there is the in finitely delicate question on just what kind of Democrats the President really wants re. turned here. In the departing Congress he has had, so far as numbers go, substantial ma jorities in both the Senate and House. All the same, the truth of it has been that he has been notably successful on the big national security legislative issues but notably unsuccess ful on secondary welfare is sues THE Congress which grants him a historic victory in the world trade expansion bill End a major victory in con tinuing foreign aid has re fused to grant him an urban affairs department. It has backed him in every world crisis; but it has said "no" to him on matters like medical care and federal aid to public school education. Where he is a world leader, it has strongly upheld him, Where he is a partisan leader of the Democratic party for domestic political purposes, it has again and again denied him that very legislation which would assist the basic imlr- Democratic strategy of appeal ing primarily to urban and minority group interests. In a world, a Democratic Congress - with great Repub lican assistance-has immense, ly helped him to run a country in a dangerous world. But this same Democratic Congress -and for this he cannot really blame the Republican opposi tion - has done little to for ward those more partisan Ken nedy programs which were carefully designed to strength en the Democratic grip upon the big-city vote in that coun try. ITOW can a Democratic Pres " ident attack a Democratic Congress which has been high ly responsible on the great Cold War issues of our time but has undeniably been ob structive to him on most of his purely domestic designs? Both political tradition and the simple facts of the case lequire him to pay some trib ute to the old Congress for its big achievements. But if he salutes it tqo much, or inferentially blames it too little, what will happen to his secondary case against it - that it couldn't quite see things like urban affairs and medicare? Will not the voters then ask him: "Which Con gress are you talking about?" And if he turns an occasion al chilly shoulder to the moderates and conservatives In that Congress, how will he explain the fact that wherever there have been really wild assaults upon him they have come only from the liberals? What they have said about his bill to let private capital into Ihe space communications sys tem and, his bill to give busi ness tax relief would hardly bear repeating. tERELY to recognize the existence of all these questions is to realize that those ecstatic reports of a President quivering with ela tion at being back on that good old campaign trail are more than slightly exagger ated. He is on that trail, true enough; and will be more and more so. But he Is not and cannot be quite the happiest cf all possible warriors in this enterprise. For it is not easy to divide the conservative goats from the liberal sheep in a twilit landscape where the goats h;:ve been quietly indispens able to his mission of national leadership and the sheep shrilly indispensable to his partisan mission. 8 r n If
