Those of us who are concerned with the prog ress of international peacemaking organizations, with world peace through law, with the eventual lessening of tensions, should all be grateful that President Kennedy chose to take the Cuban crisis to the United Nations and to the Organization of American States, rather than acting only un ilaterally. Sometimes it takes a crisis, or a series of crises, to strengthen and toughen and make more effective an organization. e "llE MAY well hope that the United Nations " will withstand the pressures sure to be gen erated by the Cuban affair, and its world-wide repercussions. We may well hope so not only idealistically, but as a matter of self-interest. The world is in the midst of a revolution, and if freedom and law and order and decency are to survive, it will take more than simple good luck. It will take guts and skill and good will and patience and, above all, the organizational channels where these qualities can be channeled most effectively. With more than 100 members, and with the number increasing rapidly, the United Nations presents a fairly accurate microcosm of the world today, a world which is predominantly non-white, non-Christian, non-democratic in our sense of the word, and under-developed industrially, educa tionally, and governmentally. IF WE manage to avoid a major conflict with So- viet Russia as an outgrowth of the Cuban in cident, we will still be faced with a long and frightening array of subsequent crises India and China, the ferment in Latin America, the ambitions and nationalism of. the new nations of Africa, the instability of many of the new mid Eastern and Asian nations. Each of these, anv of tinder to set off a conflagration from which civil ization could not emerge as we know it. Our best hope of avoiding just such an eventu ality is to work for a sense of common purpose as the race of mankind, forgetting petty national istic jealousies, and this requires an organization al framework. We have such a framework in the United Nations, but up to this 17th United Na tions day, the framework is a mere skeleton, a skeleton which will have to be' fleshed out and made meaningful, not only to the so-called civil ized lands, but to the others too, whose experi ence with civilization is a brand new and some what heady adventure. T17E LOOK back on 17 years of slowly but con " stantly improving effectiveness in the work of the United Nations. It is not the same organi zation today that it was that October day in 1945 when the charter was signed in Sah Fransisco. It bears the imprint of many men, such men as Trygvie Lie, Dag Hammaiskjold, U Thant, and the hundreds who have served as delegates or officials. It bears the imprint of the Korean war, which was the impetus for substituting the General As sembly for the Security Council as the major ef fective force for keeping the peace. It bears the imprint of Suez and The Congo, of a decade and a half of work for world health, for world nutrition, for world narcotics control, for world literacy all in addition to 17 years of providing a forum where talk, not mutual de struction, has become a way of settling disputes. We are grateful for the last 17 years, and look forward with mixed hope and apprehension to the next 17. If we are still here to celebrate the 34th United Nations day, we will be well on our way to achieving those ideals and hopes that have inspired men of good will since the race began. E. A. Nilsen for Reelection Norman 0. Nilsen, the present Oregon labor commissioner and the Democratic candidate for reelection, this year is opposed by Fat Blair, Re publican challenger. Nilsen is a quiet, unassuming man, and is no great shakes as a politician, but from most reports we have heard, he has been an excellent labor commissioner. His major emphasis has been in the field of extending opportunities for work for older peo ple, improved conditions for migrant workers, and quiet but effective administration and (when necessary) enforcement of civil rights laws. In the more technical aspects of his work, such as boiler and elevator inspection, and sign board administration, he has garnered few com plaints. ASA matter of fact, the only complaints we HAVE heard concerning Nilsen's job have come from Fat IUair, and we find them consider ably less than persuasive. The positive side of Blair's campaign has been principally concerned with his recommendations for the writing of new laws, and less to the more effective administration of the ones we now have. On the basis of Nilsen's excellent record, and because we are not at alternatives Blair has offered, we support Norman O.

Going To Change To the Editor: "By God, I'm going to change my vote and vote for Fisher." So profound an effect did Representative Carl Fisher have on the voters attending the recent League of Women Voters Candidates' Fair that this was only one among the many favorable comments I overheard. Contrary to his opponent, who spent his entire 10 min utes lauding the Constitution, quoting Jefferson, and telling us that we should not vote against a candidate because we didn't agree with him, Carl Fisher took a strong stand on the vital issues of today. Carl Fisher stated that the voter should know what his position is on the important issues since he is asking for their vote. His opponent evi dently believes that he can be elected by evading issues and merely showing the public that he is patriotic and sup ports the supreme law of the land. Most of us assumed this to be true of candidates for such a high office. Carl Fisher stated that he was opposed to the King Anderson Medicare Bill be cause it didn't cover 25 per cent of the people that need aid, it is compulsory, and cov ered such people as Nelson Rockefeller who certainly didn't need its benefits. Carl Fisher opposed the present Farm Program be cause it put entirely too many restrictions on farmers. It told the farmer what to plant, how much to plant, and when to plant. He favored a lifting of these binding restrictions and a return to freer enter prise. He favored a strong stand on Cuba even If It meant a blockade. In regard to federal aid to education, he felt it was en tirely unfair to ask the peo ple of Oregon to pay for edu cating the children of other states, when these states were unwilling to pay their fair share for educating their chil dren in grades 1 through 12, such as Oregon has. Oregonians like independ ent thinkers who are not afraid to take firm stands. I believe that Carl Fisher is an independent thinker and deserves the bi-partisan sup port of all the voters in the 4th Congressional District. Mrs. L. R. Bishop 2525 Argonne ave. Medford. No Suspense To the Editor: Your recent editorial in which you so judiciously balanced the rec ords of the Congressional can didates, had about as much suspense as watching a pro fessional making a ceremon ious toss of loaded dice. More eloquent are the things you did not say. One Is that following the election there will be a report of cam paign expenditures, including one which will rend some thing like this: "COPE, umptv thousand dollars to the Demo cratic Congressional commit tee." They are not a charitable group. Pear growers have not for gotten the session of the Legis lature and Senate Bill 502: "An Act to Prohibit Picketing of Sites where Perishable Farm Products are being Har vested " It was first provided that pickets must be bona fide employees for 30 days, later this was reduced to three days, but your favorite, to gether with the captives of the Portland bosses, still op posed it, and used all his in fluence to defeat it. although it passed 4115. Then there was the bill to allow public power groups to Issue revenue bonds, "without a vote of the people," which he favored. Just now a small group Is MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. trying to form a PUD in Jose phine county, to bond us $15, 000,000 to buy out PP&L. But they have to submit it to the voters. Remember that definition of a "liberal," someone who is liberal with somebody else's money? In all the meager reports of his campaign speeches, there seems to be an ana chronistic obsession with some version of WPA which ht peddles from Grants Pass to Coos Bay, inviting a dip into that "slush fund" of almost a billion of red ink dollars. From him nothing about the menacing national debt which eats up $9,000,000,000 a year in interest alone. Our 4th District should con sider itself complimented that the administration has trained its biggest (pop) guns at its voters. It must still be as im portant as some ten years ago when they even "planted" a stooge from Washington to run for Congress. He did not make it to first base. VP Johnson went half way around the world to tell the islanders that an adverse vote would be a "repudiation" of the President. Well, his own party did just that In Con gress. Many people disap prove strongly of the.spectacle of their President desecrating the Lord's Day in his frantic campaigning. John Q. Stewart 933 NE 12th st. Grants Pass, Ore. The Race Goes On To the Editor: Ralph E. Lapp, in pointing out Uncle Sam's present power to hit Russia, is just repeating what scores of our leaders, civilian and military, have said in the past few years, namely, that we have the power, within a matter of minutes, to totally destroy Russia. Whether that power is singular or multiple makes little difference. Shortly after Sputnik One rose in the sky on Oct. 4, '57. Hearst with his 'Task Force' of reporters went to Moscow and investigated, then made his report to America, which was not cheering. However, Hearst did not know what was in Uncle Sam's cards and even if we were, at the time, some what behind Russia, it did not lake long to catch up. So that, as of now, Ralph E. Lapp's statement about U.S.A. mili tary nuclear strength may be quite true. The incongruous state in which the race has brought our country is the apparent fact that if the bomb making and bomb testing should be discontinued, millions of breadwinners would lose their jobs and, as neither Republi cans nor Democrats would like to take the blame for un employment, the arms race will go on. Amen. John E. King. 1049 West 11th St., Medford. Candidate Opposed To the Editor: Saturday night I was in attendance at the Phoenix Grange for the purpose of listening to both sides of the views of those who are seeking political positions on Nov. 6.

Mr. Stephens professed his honesty and Integrity an,t then immediately proceeded to take credit for the Medford PAL club It is a fact thai Stephens did not organize the PAL club. This is honesty and integrity? Stephens is centering his political platform on three major planks: Experience. Honesty and Integrity, and the PAL club. At this puint OREGON Chronology of a War Underestimated by Indian Prime Minister By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst How a war is born: , Sept. 4, 1958: Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru tells his Par liament that "fairly consid erable parts of Bhutan have been in cluded in a map pub lished by the Chinese Peo ple's Republic Newsom as the approx imate borders of China." The Indian government requests a correction. Aug. 7, 1959: Nehru reports a "strange silence" on the part of the Chinese Reds on the subject of Communist maps showing sections of Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, the Indian Northeast Frontier and Ladakh as part of China proper. Aug. 28, 1959: Nehru says I will not question Mr. Steph ens' experience, although 1 must stop at that! Secondly, and very impor tant, Mr. Stephens has dem onstrated that he cannot maintain self-control-he loses his temper. Childish, isn't it? (Keep in rnind that if elected he would be armed with power and authority, as well as firearms.) After the meet ing Saturday night he ap proached one of the central committee chairmen and proceeded to "fly off the han dle" while trying to express dissatisfaction . . . someone had called him on his honesty during the meeting. Is this the kind of man the people of Jackson county want for their sheriff? I urge you to seriously con sider the candidates before casting your ballot for the office of sheriff on Nov. 6.

Hatfield: Dear Governor: I have hunted deer for over 50 years and have never shot a doe. As you well know, thou sands of does are shot every year and left in the woods to rot. It is my opinion if one deer of either sex were legal, most of those does would be tagged and brought out. 1 protest these special doe tags where a favored few can go out and shoot a doe after they have already shot several and left them in the woods to rot. I have always hunted for the much needed meat. I do not consider it sport to shoot a deer. Please conserve our deer for our children and grand children. C. W. Corey, Phoenix, Ore. Fantastic Claims To the Editor: Many fan tastic claims are made about Ballot Measure 9, including a statement that "acres will be represented, not people." To prove how wrong these charges are, let's make a com parison between Multnomah county and Harney county. Multnomah county's 271,360 acres will be represented by 17 members in the House, or 1 representative for each 15, 962 acres. Harney county's 6.484,480 acres will have but '.j a representative, or 1 rep resentative for each 12,968, 960 acres. So actually an acre in Mult nomah county is equal to 812 acres in Harney county under Measure 9. Responsible citizens will not be taken in by such claims. When the dust and smoke screen of our Opponents Is laid to rest, Oregon's fair minded voters will vote "Yes" on Measure 9. Paul R. Nordstrom, 1024 Cans St.. Lake Oswego. Ore. What's tht Difference? To the Editor: We have seen, it is generally agreed, statesmanship on the part of President Kennedy with his recent speech and actions on Cuba. People are always asking, "What is the difference in po litical candidates?" and awareness of the Cuban situa tion is an excellent current example This campaign has found Democratic candidate. Duncan, maintaining Cuba is not an issue or problem, and candidate Morse suggesting nothing more positive than U N. or O A S. action. Mean while, Republicans Carl Fusti er and Sig Unander, both in formed and alert to the sig nificance of the military build up in Cuba, have advocated positive and meaningful step Red Chinese troops have pen etrated Indian border regions at two points opposite Tibet in a "clear case of agression." April 26, 1960: Nehru tells Parliament he met a "hard rock" in his discussions with Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai and there was "no meeting ground at all." Nov. 5-8, 1961: In the Unit ed States, Nehru describes re lations with Red China as "somewhat strained" . . . But "peace and peaceful methods of approach to problems for us is a passion not only a passion for something which all our logic and mind drives us to as essential for our growth." Oct. 22, 1962: With the Indians falling back under a reported human wave Chinese attack, Nehru says, "We face the greatest menace to our liberty." As the fighting reached new peaks amid the peaks of the all but inaccessible Himalaya Mountains, there seemed gen eral agreement that the Red Chinese had initiated the new action. It also seemed clear that be ginning clear back in 1954, Nehru either had misunder stood or had underestimated Chinese intentions. When he signed his non aggression pact with the Chi nese in 1954 there was spec ulation that the maneuver had gained for him 5 to 10 years before he would have to face the threat of a Chinese southward push. Then in 1959 came the Red Chinese conquest of Tibet, closely followed by claims on neighboring Sikkim and Bhutan, tiny Himalayan pro tectorates to whose defense India was pledged. Three possible reasons have been advanced for the Chi nese timing. One is to estab lish themselves firmly before winter really closes in. An other is that they hope to force to prevent further deteriora tion of the situation. The President's action Is precisely what the Republi can candidates have been call ing for, while the position of the Democrats has been either nebulous or ineffective. The difference is clearly evident. Oregon's citizens should be proud to send both Carl Fish er and Sig Unander to Wash ington to provide effective and urgently needed leader ship in Congress. It is interesting to note that Morse did not receive a call When President Kennedy con vened the effective leaders of both parties of Congress to discuss this momentous for eign policy decision concern ing Latin America. Fred VanNatta, 2154-14 Patterson dr., Eugene, Ore. Editor's note: Senator Morse is now in Washington at the request of the Secretary of State. Camping Costs To the Editor: What do you campers think about what and how they are charging for over night camping at How ard Prairie? The sign on the counter at the store says, "Camping fee from 12 mid night to 12 midnight or any portion thereof is $1.00. By order of the County Court!" It costs $2 to stay one night, if you go up there at 6 in the evening you pay $1 to stay till midnight then you have to pay $1 to stay from mid night till the next midnight. Who is going to go up there at midnight or leave at mid night? We do a lot of camping and any camp we have ever been in they come around every evening and collect. No one minds paying $1 a night for camping but as it is now, it's $2 for one night. It looks like they are out to hook the one night camper. If all the county business is run like it is at Howard Prairie, we need new officers in the county court, and right now is the time to start. Elec tion is only a couple of weeks away. Let's do something about It. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lehman 1518 Bryant St., Medford Not Smoothly To the Editor: t do believe the public should know that in the past four years the election boards have not al ways functioned smoothly, especially in the setting up process. The election boards, I am sure, gracefully acknowl elge Mr. Madden's apprecia tion of our help. However, in certain precincts these past few years, we have had to set up our own tables, chairs and even arrange the booths prop erly at times. This Job should be done be fore election board arrives for duty. This delays the opening of the polls. 8 a.m.. and causes the disorganization which we want to avoid. We did have a smoother set up in this last primary, but it Is the very first time In four years. Marjorie Orr 3658 Old Military rd. Medford. Chinese Nehru into talks and into con cessions.

AMATEUR Some of us at dinner were discussing the defference oe tween "amateurs" and "pro fessionals," and we agreed that it was not so much a question of money, nor even so much of basic talent, that distinguishes the one from the other. The mild contempt that the professional, in almost any field, feels for the amateur is based on the latter's atti tude rather than on his abil ity. This is equally true in the crafts, the arts, or sports. A professional writer, for instance, is first of all a work man. So many hours a day are spent at his job, as much for pleasure as for profit. Ex cept at rare intervals, "in spiration" to him is a mean ingless word. . The amateur writer has to wait until he is "in the mood." The weather has to be right, the time propi tious, the exact materials at hand, the Muse delicately nudging his elbow. Nothing of any conse quence is ever produced this way. The greatest pian ists practice many hours each day. whether they feel like it or not; first-rate artists are incessantly sketching or painting; the tennis pro works on his service and his backhand drive on the chilliest, damp est afternoons. Yet. although the ama teur is out for "fun," and In the Day's News By FRANK Mishmash in the news: The U. S. Census Bureau reports that real property valued for local tax purposes totaled $271 billion last year (1961) - up 33 per cent from $203 billion in 1956. The report adds that local governments get nearly 90 per cent of their tax revenues from property levies. THOUGHT: - If ALL the real property (land, buildings, etc.) in the U. S. A. were sold at tax sale, the sum realized from the sale would lack nearly $30 billion of being enough to pay the national debt of the United States of America. Question: Isn't it getting to be about time to quit spending with a free and liberal hand and PUTTING THE BULK OF IT ON THE CUFF? rpHE OTHER day the U. S. J-Senate passed a bill to im pose higher mail charges, in cluding a penny rise on let ters and air mail, and at the same time to give pay raises to about 1.6 million federal employees, including postal employees. Additional revenue from the higher postal rates in cluded in the bill Is estimated at about $603 million a year. The estimated cost of the pay raises is about $1,049,000,000 a year. The resulting DEFICIT would amount to $448 million - or about a half billion dol lars. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 72 to 3 - indi cating its popularity as a vote getter at the election in No Try and Stop By BENNETT CERF rUTSIDE OF BUSINESS hours, old John D. Rockefellei occasionally betrayed flashes of a certain sly humor. There was the evening, for instance, in the twilight of hit life, when he was taken lor his first look at an edifice he had authorized: the then brand-new Radio City Music HalL Mr. Rockefeller was taken to the back of the very top balcony a spot from which the mam moth stage looks some thing like a postage stamp. A herd of trained elephants was going through its paces when John D. focussed his at tention on the perform ance. He shook his head after a moment and chided his general manager: "What do you mean by putting mice on the stage of my beautiful new theatre?" e e e Carl Reiner likes to recall tht very first world's fair, which, ha insists, was held about six thousand years ago. The attendance, in fact, rarely exceeded thirty paying patrons all plthecanthro. poid, of course. And the stellar attraction was a fast ride at th rate of thirty-two feet a second. They called It falling. Reds manned and outgunned. If the Chinese manage to pierce the Himalaya barrier, then all of Southeast Asia lies before them. J. Harris the professional works grimly, the latter's pleasure is by far the greater-in the same way that a sus tained love affair is more satisfying than a series of flirtations. The amateur, be cause he makes no real in vestments of his personal ity, is unable to draw out any deep emotional divi dends. . What the professional most resents is the unconscious ar rogance of the amateur in as suming that enthusiasm and a natural flair are any substi tute for years of hard work, practice, patience, and the de votion that is gradually able to surmount failure and frus tration. During the flourishing Elizabethan period in the Eng lish theater, for example, doz ens of noblemen of great wit and erudition dabbled in writ ing poetry and plays but none of them, no matter what natural gifts he may have possessed, succeeded in pro ducing a body of work to rank anywhere near the works of Shakespeare, Mar lowe, Jonsorr and Kyd. In the theater, the attitude of the professional toward the amateur is typified by the French tale of the broken down tragedian who sat him self down on a Paris park bench next to a faded and bedraggled streetwalker. "Ah. madame," sighed the trage dian, "Quelle ironie! The two oldest professions in the world ruined by amateurs!" JENKINS vember.

Inevitably - However - ; The thought must occur to them that they are working for an employer who is up to his ears in debt. That is never a pleasant thought. When one knows one's employer is going deeper and deeper- into debt every day, one can't help wondering how long one's job will last. TN THIS case, of course, their employer isn't going broke. He is different from the com mon run of us. When he needs, money, all he has to do is to reach into OUR pockets and take out what he needs. Still - When one's employer is running heavily into debt, go-" ing deeper into the hole every day, one can't help having qualms. lyTORE on the same line: Sen. Clinton P. Anderson of New Mexico checked in the other day at Bethesda Naval hospital in the edge of Washington. To inquiring re porters, his office explained that he "just went in for a few days of examination after ex periencing a series of DIZZY spells." :, Hmmmmm. Maybe he look ed down unexpectedly from the summit attained by our national debt.
