There is no known opposition to any of them. No. 1 is "Reorganize State Militia Purpose: To amend Constitution by authorizing legislature to reorganize state militia. Eliminates election of certain officers. Empowers Governor and Adju tant General to appoint all officers." IN 1857, when the Constitution was written, con ditions were far different than they are today. The entire able-bodied male citizenry comprised the militia. It was purely a state force. In those easy-going days when the art of war was based on horses, swords and muzzle - loading rifles, it was appropriate that field-grade officers be , i. 1 1- ' . cnosen Dy ineir own men. military quaiuicauuns i m i i i. i i i.i. - -if Donea aown to leaaersmp quaiuicauuns. Today it is different. The National Guard is the militia today, and it is a combined state-federal force, with professional requirements for officers. The legislature can be trusted to reorganize the Guard as necessary, just as it can be to reor ganize other branches of the government. We rec ommend a "yes" vote on No. 1. NOS. 2, 3 and 4 all have the same purpose, to base the limitation on state bonded indebted- . I. - i. 1. 1 . a ness on a percentage or me true i-asn vaiue ui property in the state, instead of on assessed valu ation. No. 2 would change the limitation on forest rehabilitation bonds from of 1 Pe'' cent of as sessed valuation to 316 of 1 per cent of tine cash value. No. 3 would change the road debt limita tion from 4 per cent of assesssed valuation to 1 per cent of true cash value. And No. 4 would change the limitation of 6 per cent of assessed valuation to 1 ' per cent of true cash value. These changes would not change the actual dollar-value of the debt limitation. To the con trary, it would stabilize it, for at present the legislature can, if it wishes, change the ratio of assessed value to true cash value, thus in effect changing the debt limit. This could not be done under the proposed change. We recommend a "yes" vote on Nos. 2, 3, and 4. E. A Sensible Measure After the 1900 federal census, Clackamas county found itself with judges it did not need, did not want, and could ill afford. Why? Because the state Constitution forbids the writing of "special" laws concerning the ad ministration of justice. In other words, it has to write general laws, differentiating between coun ties only on a population basis. V hen Clackamas passed a certain population mark, it got two new judgeships, willy nilly. Measure No. 5 on the Nov. b election ballot would change this by making it possible for the legislature to write laws concerning the courts for particular counties, suiting the action to the need. TTIIE PROPOSAL has been recommended by the Oregon State Bar, and passed the legisla ture by a combined vote of 74 to 1. It appears to be non-controversial, with little if any opposition, and could be classed as a "housekeeping" measure, except it does make a substantive change in the Constitution. But it is realistic and sensible, and would make unnecessary either a decennial review of counties' population and resulting legislative needs, and would prevent any future situations such as that faced by Clackamas county, which has two more judgeships than it needs or wants. E. A. DST vs. Confusion Time Measure No. 6 on the general election ballot is the controversial Daylight Time measure. If it passes, all of Oregon in the Pacific time zone would go on Daylight Saving time in the summer months, along with Washington and California. If it does not, the present law will remain in effect (unless the 1JH53 legislature changes it), whereby five northern Oregon counties will go on DST time legally, and a variety of other times will be observed "voluntarily" throughout the state. CO IT'S as simple as this: If you like Daylight tim dislike time confusion, 'r.it'iut ut'it.m u ilkin fWnrrnn itonlf i'rti "i-ne " vvc.-i..nn.owi i, iiiiiii v'nu 11 ii. -ill, vn: i L.-. If you dislike Daylight time more than you dislike time confusion, vote "no," As for us, we dislike time confusion, and don't particularly object to Daylight time. We shall vote "yes.' E. A. The most unusual issue of a daily newspaper published in Oregon in recent years was the Daily Astorian on Oct. 12, the day of the big wind. The newspaper, entirely without electricity, could not operate its Linotypes nor presses, so it borrowed Mimeograph machines, and with the aid of can dles and coffee, published a two-page, single sheet newspaper. "It wasn't much of a news paper," the Astorian admitted the following day. Hut it was better than nothing. K.A. ff:i;i i.t: power development from two additional circuit line vote ves. If vou either between Pacific MEDFORD Preoccupation Force Matter of Fact ey c New York Herald THE COMER Dubois, Pa. In this big state, the Democrats think they have an even chance to win the (jov- ernorship and feel pretty sure about re electing a Sen ator. The Re publicans think the Gov ernorship i s pretty much theirs a 1- Aiiop ready, ana they even hope that Rep. James Van Zandt will beat the veteran Democrat, Sen. Joseph Clark. Going for the Democrats is the fact that they have a re markable Gubernatorial can didate and a brilliant cam paigner in Richardson Dil worth, the Mayor who all but rebuilt Philadelphia. Going for the Republicans is the fact that they also have a remark able Gubernatorial candidate in Rep. William W. Scranton, of Scranton, Pa. The private polls taken by both parties reportedly sus tain the self-confident Repub lican analysis of the situation here. The polls can well be wrong, however, for Mayor Dilworth's campaign has only just entered the hard-hitting phase; and there are other im ponderables, such as the hard-lo-calculate effect of Presi dent Kennedy's Pennsylvan ian stumping. MEANWHILE, one predic tion can already be made with fair certainty. If Scran ton Justifies the pollsters by winning the Governorship of Pennsylvania, a major new figure will have appeared on the national scene. This, in it self, will be something of an innovation, for although al most all Pennsylvania Gov ernors have been Republicans until eight years ago, just about all the Republican Gov- ernors of Pennsylvania have been bumbling nonentities or worse. Here in Dubois, it must lie added, Scranton's chances look pretty good. He came to this pleasant smalt city at the end of a long, hard, tireless day of speaking and hand shaking he and his wife are champion hand-shakers through Pennsylvania's de pressed strip-mining region. He found a record turn out at a dinner meeting at the big, handsome Lithuanian Club. He rose, at the end of a rec ord number of other Repub lican speakers, when the last mound of ice cream had melted into a puddle; and he won an ovation by lambasting the Democrats. The peoplel here think he will get a roc- ord vote in this part of Pennsylvania. BUT THE voting is in the future. What is interesting about Scranton now is the fact that there is clearly more to hint than meets the eye. He is a quiet-spoken, youngish man with an unassuming, al most gentle manner, although some of the things he has been saying about the opposi tion have been far from gen tle. At first glance, despite his perfect willingness to trade invective with Ilihvoiih. you might almost rail him nious.-y. Yet the kind of things that happen to Scranton do not happen to men who are really mousey. In Pennsylvania, the whole Republican organiza tion Is continuously riven with discord; but Scranton first ran for Congress by ur gent request of all the Re publican leaders In his dis- ! triet. This year, the row over the Gubernatorial nomination looked like crippling the party for this election: but the row ended with Scranton's be-1 in K urged or approved by j every county chairman in the state.

OREGON Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate only able to dream about. Was there, perhaps, some long headed calculation to contrib ute to this unusual result? You do not think so when you first talk to Seanton but then, after a while, you are not so sure. You are sure, too, that if he wins the Penn sylvania Governorship, he is going to surprise his fellow Republicans, who now expect him to tend strictly to his Pennsylvania knitting, with out seeking to become a fac tor on the national scene. AS GOVERNOR of this big state, he will be a poten tial major factor in the Re publican party, and it is a 10-to-l bet that he will exploit the potentialities to the ut most. Hence, if elected, he will first of all greatly strengthen the group of pro gressive Republicans of the type of Gov. Nelson Rockefel ler of New York, whom he much admires. By the same token, Scran ton's election will be bad news for former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. It will mean a formidable new opponent for the Republican faction headed By Sen. Barrv Goldwater. It may not be par ticularly good news for George Romney of Michigan, since Scranton believes the Republican future depends on hard work to renovate the whole party, rather than the kind of personal leadership Romney offers. In fact, if Scranton wins here, and if something hap pens to block Nelson Rocke feller's far-advanced bid for the Republican nomination in 1964, it will be lime to think of this newcomer on the na tional scene as a major Presi dential possibility. One way or another, he may have a long road to travel before the return to Scranton, Pa., which he is always talking about.

I have copies of the law and I have studied it carefully and I know that it is possible to unite Medford and Phoenix or Butte Falls and Eagle Point or any other adjoining dis tricts without the vote of the people. It is true that the people have a right to petition to vote. But that is not enough. People should not vote away their right to vote.

One of these has been a suggestion that West Germans take a greater initiative in seeking a Berlin and German solution even though finally it must be the decision of the four powers, the United Stat es, France. Britain and the Soviet Union. Berlin's mayor Willy Brandt, one of a succession of recent German visitors to the U.S., took the question home with him where it promptly became a political issue. In West Germany, Chancel lor Konrad Adenauer stands close to President Charles de want to join with the larger ones. Why should they be re quired to get a petition signed in order to vote? I believe the people have all the power they need to re organize and consolidate school districts under the old law. After all, Central Point and Gold Hill joined together without the help of this pres ent law. And besidse, maybe some people believe that a small school can be just as good as a large one.

PERSONAL PREJUDICES When a man tells a woman that he wants her to "listen to reason," what he custom arily means is that he wants her lo be unreasonable in a male way rather than unreas onable in a female way. It is a mistake to believe that the "spoiled child" is one who Is given too much, for a child cannot be given too much of the right things; a spoiled child, rath er, is one who' is given loo many other things as substi tutes for affection, atten tion, understanding, respect and Joy. It is not ihe magni tude of giving that spoils ihe child, but the symbolic meaning of the gifts. Nobody makes me feel as gauche and provincial as a dining companion who orders an imported cheese and crack ers for dessert while 1 order a hunk of berry pie with ice cream on it. (I wonder if Stephen Potter has included this Continental gambit in his Lifemanship books?) Whenever I meet a suspicious-minded man who is trying to be openhanded. I am reminded of Amiel's shrewd observation that "He who is loo much afraid of being duped has lost the power of being magnani mous." While it is possible to be bored with one's environment, the most overwhelmingly prevalent form of boredom is boredom with one's self; and such media as television are able to capture large aud iences, not because people like trash, but because even watching trash is preferable lo confronting one's own lack of inner resources. No person has room for more than one "major theme" in his emotional life: for example, if tome one has remarried and still bears active hate and re sentment for the former partner. Ihe new marriage it not a happy one - if it were, the happiness would drive out Ihe ancient grudge.

Germany Becoming Gaulle of France in the post tion that Soviet obligations under four-power agreements leave nothing to be negotia ted. Of the proposal for German initiative, he said: "It makes no sense to be driven to initiatives if the Soviet Union insists on Ger many's division and the sub jugation of Berlin." After making known his po sition in advance, it then was announced that Adenauer would visit Washington on Nov. 7. It seemed scarcely coinci dence that the date fell just one day after the U.S. con gressional elections. N i k i t a Khrushchev had announced earlier that the Kremlin would withhold any pressure for renewed Berlin negotia Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann (cl New York Herald Tribune Syndicate SHOWDOWN AT BERLIN Following the German For eign Minister, Dr. Schroeder, who is in Washington this week, Chan cellor Aden auer will come on the day after our elections. That is the day when, so Mr. K h r u slichev has told us, the pause will end, and he Lippmann will thereafter reopen active ly the Berlin question. While we do not know just what or how he will do this, it is pru dent to expect some action de signed to affect the status quo in West Berlin. Thus Dr. Adenauer and President Kennedy have im portant business to talk about. Secretary Rusk's conversa tions with the Soviet govern ment, which have been going on for more than a year, have been stalled since last spring. Until then we are both talk ing about possible arrange ments, such as a proposed in ternational authority for man aging access to West Berlin, which would make the con tinued presence of Western troops acceptable to the Soviet Union. Western access and the presence of Western troops are the crucial positions from which we cannot and will not recede. There should be no misunderstanding about this in the Kremlin. President Kennedy cannot surrender Berlin even if he were the kind of man who wanted to. A surrender would destroy him. Access and presence are not negotiable. It is the fringe problems, which include the degree of recognition given the East German state, that are negotiable. 11HE U.S.-U.S.S.R. conversa- tions did not have the bles sing of the German Chancel lor and of Gen. fie Gaulle. Nevertheless they went on. About the monlh of May, something happened in Mos cow which caused the Rus sians to brush aside the talks and to insist that the Western powers remove their troops from Berlin. As this is not a negotiable question for us, the discussions have been stalled. The question is whether they can be resumed. That de pends on the Soviet govern ment. If they continue to in sist that the only question is Western military withdrawal from Berlin, there will be a showdown. If they wish to ne gotiate about an arrangement which guarantees presence and access, the door will he open wider and wider for larger explorations. There is as yet. we must realize, no firm agreement be- tween Washington and Bonn on either of the two great al ternatives a showdown or a negotiation. y, 4, I i J ' "Why do I watch ii? Why do t welch it? He wint m all -every one. Bui I've got to wetch until Perry Maton loses a ease. I'm hooked!" tions until after the election) were over. Cynics also saw another ex planation. At home, Adenauer ia un der pressure from his own Democratic coalition partners to announce the date when he will leave office in accordance with his promise that he would do so well in advance of West Germany's 1963 elec Hons. There were suggestions that by his visit, "Der Alte" (the old one) sought to downgrade not only Brandt's Washington visit but also the visit of his own foreign minister, Gerhard Schroeder. Both are regarded as aspirants to Adenauer's job. Adenauer would seek to demonstrate that his still j the magic touch. WHILE high officials ani If experts of the Western allies have drawn up com prehensive plans for dealing with the various possible ac tions by the Soviet govern ment and the East Germans, these are as yet only plans. They are not the decisions of governments. It is true, at Mr. Alsop was the first ti point out the other day, that we do not mean to wait for a unanimous decision by the British, French, German, and American governments. Wa shall act if there is a show down provided we can count upon West German coopera tion. But that cooperation is es sential to any kind of response which is short of nuclear war. If there is to be a military response to interference with Western access or Western presence, the German Federal Republic in Bonn cannot sit on the sidelines and go on do ing business as usual with East Germany The Germans have by far the biggest stake in Berlin. It is their country which will suffer the first con sequences of a conflict. It is overwhelmingly their trade which will be cut off if there jra. blockades and counter blockades. These hard realities of de cision cannot be dealt with by slogans. IT IS necessary for Bonn and Washington to come down to brass tacks on the subject of how to negotiate if by standing firm we bring about a resumption of nego tiations with the Soviet Union. We must realize that we stood firm and we pre vailed against the blockade of West Berlin in 1948. But, while that stand succeeded in deferring the crisis, no such showdown can solve the Ber lin problem. When the show down comes, and if we pre vail, West Berlin will still be half of a vulnerable city deep inside the Soviet empire. If the situation of West Ber lin is not stabilized as the cold war and the race of arma ments become more intense, Berlin will become increas ingly a supreme danger point for the outbreak of a ther monuclear war. Despite the external prosperity, which is highly subsidized, of West Berlin, there are ominous signs that the constituted authorities, German and Al lied alike, may be losing con trol of the crowd. The Berlin wall, we must remember, is manned on both sides by Germans, and there are in this situation the makings of a civil war into which we might all be sucked against our will. Those who tell us to stand firm, to rebuff the Russians, and then do nothing, are play ing with fire. We must hop that the Chancellor Is a much aware of this as are an increasing number of hi countrymen. V III
