No one will ever be able to tally the full dol lar cost of the storm, but it probably will exceed considerably the preliminary estimate of $170, 000,000, if all direct and indirect costs and ex penses are included. One of the major costs, of course, is borne by the utility companies which have spent two 1 - 1 ... Mil A 1 11 1 . weens ana millions oi ana leiepnone lines. THIS has led to a revival of the long-standing suggestion that such ground, as are water and most frequently-heard argument in favor of un derground lines has been based on esthetic con siderations, but in the others have been mentioned frequently the factor of safety, that of communications, and the lactor ot invulnerability Both the Orecronian Press have taken up the underground utility lines, the Oregonian with restraint, the Labor Press with vehemence. The Labor Press said, in part: "As Oregon digs out, slowly and heroically, from the most disastrous storm in her history, no one has pointed to the most obvious lesson of the big blow: "It is not only stupid to hang all those wires over our heads, it is almost criminal to do so. "The overhead jungle of poles and crossarms and wires and cables and transformers and guy lines and Insulators long ago transformed our lovely city Into an eyesore of ugliness . . . "We did not realize, until now, that the overhead Jungle is worse than ugly, It is also extremely vulner able and dangerous. "Putting wires underground, they told us, would be ruinously expensive on our light and telephone bills. "They did not explain why it is perfectly practical to bring waler and gas into our houses in rigid pipes, hut impossible to bring us electricity and telephone serv ice In flexible underground cables. "They did not tell us why It is easy to remove sewage from our houses in pipes that are not only rigid but de pendent upon gravity - yet terribly expensive to bring us our electric and telephone utilities in underground cables that are non-rigid and not dependent upon the slope of the ground . . . "Now would be a good time for the electric and tele phone companies to answer one simple question: "Why don't you put the wires underground, out of harm's way, where they belong?" a a AN ARTICLE in the Portland Reporter also "went into the subject of underground utilities. It pointed out that utility firms are willing to put tnem underground if the customers are willing to pay the extra cost involved. But the companies also point out that main tenance of underground lines is both more dif ficult and expensive than overhead lines; that while overhead lines are susceptible to storms, branches, falling trees, birds, and so on. under ground lines are more susceptible to floods, washouts, careless excavation and shifting earth. The time is coming, we believe, when con siderations of safety, attractiveness and damage will move more and more lines underground. We hope so. E. A. Restudy Civil Defense Still another aftermath of the storm has been a widespread demand for a reappraisal of civil defense. In some areas the CD office functioned as a liaison and coordinating agency; in others it didn't function at all, let alone as an effective force in preventing damage, providing emergen cy information and instruction, or aiding in com munications. The storm tended to prove that existing, full time, professional agencies such as city anil state police, sheriffs departments, fire departments,! and city and state roads and highway crews, flini'tmnnrl uoll IV. v ' " w u'llJIPIIl. l I II. M lltl Lr III VIII CI I HI how to do it, and if one key man was unavailable, another was already trained to step into his duties. a a a JACKSON county was spared the worst effects uof the storm, but in the Willamette valley and along the coast, whole areas were completely cut off, with both communications and transporta tion unavailable. If a storm can create such havoc and human misery, what would be the result of nuclear war fare? And whose responsibility would it be to coordinate the services designed to save lives and property, and direct rescue and evacuation work? If civil defense proved to be so ineffective in a storm disaster, what could it do in the far more disastrous event of warfare? THESE are the questions that arc being asked, and they deserve some real consideration. The National Guard functioned fairly effec tively in some situations, because it was organ ized and trained. Perhaps civil defense should be organized so that a corps of trained men would lie available on call, if National Guards men are unavailable. Civil defense now is mostly a paper organi zation, one that would take some time to flesh out and become effective in case of a major emergency or disaster. The storm has shown that it didn't - couldn't perform the role for which it is designed on Short notice. A detailed review of civil defense organi zation certainly seems in order now. E.A.

Confusion Cornars To the Editor: Over a cen tury ago, the people of Ko nigsburg created a formidable problem when they built sev en bridges in their city, in such a way that no one could cross all of them without backtracking over at least one. Folks have puzzled over this dilemma for many years; but, at last, someone has con ceived a poser, laid out at the intersection of Agate Road and Crater Lake Highway, that would leave the good Ko- nigsburg Burghers gasping for breath. Here, an already com plicated interchange has been made more difficult through the addition of a spur road, without removing the one it was meant to replace. Token barriers and signs were put up, of course, to indicate the new route, but what are such puny deterrents as wood and tin to the resourcefulness of determined motorists? The signs were ignored from the outset, and the bar riers were soon ground to the pavement, with the result that, now, one needs eyes for every conceivable direction, except up, if one would cross this labyrinlh in relative safe ty. The construction, obvious ly, was intended to lessen danger. However, the only ac complishment has been to firm a conviction in the mind of the user, threading this Cretan Maze, that he has been lured into a potential booby trap. If this deference to exped iency now stands in its final form, I believe the only fair thing would be for the High way Commission to provide Seeing Eye dogs for bemused commuters. Better yet, the in tersection could be excavated and filled with waler. thus giving the county additional revenue from the ferry boat concession. I was never able to work out Hie Konigsburg Bridge puzzle, but I did think of a dandy name for the place 1 have been trying to describe. If you are out driving some Sunday and come to a spot designated "Confusion Cor ners," you will know the Highway people have agreed with me. Or. perhaps you would prefer the name, "Ana cronistic Alley "? Harvey Robinson, KM North Central ave., Medford. Questions for Thornton To the Editor: Candidate Thornton's recent reference lo timber tax measures passed by the 1961 Democratic - con trolled Legislature further re veals his ignorance of stale government. Thornton is quoted as hav ing said "three timber tax bills passed by the 1961 Leg islature permitted large blocks of timber land to be taken off the tax rolls." All three bills are forest, conservation measures, for they provide fur long-range taxation of standing timber and encourage su.slainod-yicld harvest of the forest products. Contrary to Thorntons charges, they apply to small as well as large timber own ers, including those who op erate farm wood-lots. Prior to passage of those bills, the timber tax laws were such that a "cut out and get out" method of timber harvest was encouraged. Now all timberland owners can .if ford to engage in orderly har vest practices, and trees m.iy be allowed lo grow lo maturi ty Thornton is either unin formed or is deliberately mis leading the public, (or under i the pi ovisions nf these three bills no timhivl land is re moved from Ihe t.i rolls, .s anyone ran learn lv consult-j ing with Ihe Stale Tax Com- MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. mission or local assessors. The taxes on standing timber are merely spread over a period of years to permit orderly management of the vital re source. In the year of harvest, heavy taxes are collected. Rep. W. O. (Bun) Kelsay (D-Roseburg) has recently stated his pride at having au thored or co-authored each of these bills pointing out that they were supported and passed by the Legislature in a bi-partisan manner. Thus, it may be seen that Thornton's charges are total ly false. Several questions remain, however. Is candidate Thornton, de spite his position as the state's chief legal officer, ignorant of the law? Is he now criticizing the actions nf his own party mem bers? If so, where was he during the legislative session? Is he advocating a return to the "cut out and get out" days and fast depletion of our timber resource? Is he op posed to conservation? Is lie opposed to Oregon's No, 1 in dustry? These are questions which arise because Thornton has played fast and loose with the facts. They are questions on which the public deserves an answer from one who would aspire to high office. Lawyers Look at the Record Committee 1885 S. W. Sixth ave., Portland 1, Ore. Lester W.

Asks Explanation To the Editor: As a regis tered volcr in Jackson countv for many years, I have grow n accustomed to the usual ex aggerations and campaign promises of candidates for political office. While we, as voters, become reasonably tolerant of such things, we do expect candidates who seek public office to tell the truth when making state ments of fact about their own qualifications. 1 was therefore surprised when I heard "Dc" Leigh, who aspires to be Sheriff of this county, represent to those attending a political meeting that he had been Chief Dep uty in the Jackson County Sheriff's office for a period of eight years. Since I knew that this could not be true. I firs! thought that I had mis understood t h e candidate, until I examined his cam paign literature and found the same claim was made in cards that were being distri buted to the public. The pros, pective voter has a right to expect such representation to be reasonably accurate Since my recollection was inconsist ent with the statements made by the candidate, the public records at the court house were checked and it was found that he had not even been connected with the Shei ifl s office, as any kind of employee, for the last eight years It was further found that his services in the Slier- OREGON Theories In Cuban By PHIL, NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Since Nikita Khrushchev U a realist ana a good tactician, he must have foreseen at least the possibility that the Unit ed States event ually would call a halt to his buildup of Cu ba as a Carib bean Commu nist arsenal. Just as Presi- Nawiom dent Kennedy foresaw a possible Soviet re taliatory move against Berlin and took steps to forestall it. so Khrushchev must also have considered his next step. To believe otherwise would be to believe the Soviet leader totally incapable of logic and so to increase the danger of world nuclear disaster iff's office were terminated in November of 1953. Th first record of employment of any kind, on the part of the can didate, commenced on March 15, 1946, which was several years before there was even any designated position as Chief Deputy Sheriff. Since his entire service with the Sheriff's office was less than eight years, and he commenced employment as a rookie in 1946, how can it be honestly stated that he has been Chief Deputy for the Jackson County Sheriff for a period of eight years? At the Shady Cove Candi dates Fair this man stated that he was Chief Deputy for a period of five years. But thereafter he continued to distribute literature claiming eight years as Chief Deputy, and in later meetings had gone back to the eight year claim. Since this candidate has continuously engaged in the business of selling automo biles since 1954 and has had no employment in law en forcement for the past years, it is difficult to understand how he considers himself qualified to assume the duties of Sheriff. I believe Mr. Leigh owes the voters of Jackson county an explanation of his mislead ing campaign literature. Mrs. David D. Legg (Republican) 502 South Peach at. Medford Thanks to Mono To the Editor: At a meeting of District 7, Veterans of World War One, which con sists of the following named barracks: Camp White 14, Grants Pass 27, Cave June' ion 146, Roseburg 176, Medford 540, South Umpqua 575, Ash land 1268 and Rogue River 1835, the record of the several members of the U. S. Senate as tc their actions on veterans' legislation was studied. The actions of the senior senator from Oregon, the Hon Wayne Morse, were cited at this meeting, whose attend ance was in excess of 200 his record showing that, on veter ans' legislation, he has con sistently, throughout his en lire 18 years in the Senat", been on the side of the veter ans.

Teague Also his co-sponsorship of an other for the same Senate ac tion.

Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris ic Field Enterprises Inc. HEALTH AND ILLNESS f was re-reading the Jour nals of Andre Gide the other evening, and in the third vol ume I came across a brief but provoca tive entry: "It is my belief that ill nesses are the keys that can open certain doors for us. There is a Harris slale of- health that does not allow us to un derstand everything, and per haps illness shuts us off from certain truths; but health shuts us off just as effectively from others, or turns us away from them so that we are not concerned with them." As I read this paragraph, I recalled a week end I spent in Nice many years ago, when I fell quite ill and was con vinced that I had been stricken with a mortal ail ment. It turned out to be noth ing more than a case of sun stroke, but I didn't know this at the time. Sine my French is fairly rudimentary, and the hotel doctor knew no English, he was unable to assuage my fears, and I lay there for 48 hours convinced that my next column would be an obituary notice, I can smile about it now. but it was hardly a subject for merri ment then. Lying flat on my back, all alone in a strange city, staring at the ceiling, while the sounds of revelry by night floated up from the cafes on the "Promenade des Anglaise". I was sud denly affected with deep feelings of remorse, guilt and inadequacy. I felt acutely that I had failed to make the most of myself, both personally and professionally, and I grimly resolved to do belter if I were granted a reprieve from death. Part of this feeling, of course, was neurotic anxiety about my illness and alone ness in a foreign land; but an other part was quite realistic. It was an honest and painful self-appraisal which few of us are willing to make when we are in good health it is one of "the doors thai only illness can open," in Gide's phrase. Health, in this respect, is much like money: its poses sion gives us a false sense of security, so that we cannot he bothered to take a good look at ourselves and examine the roots of our conduct. Only when we are stripped of these physical supports do we (sometimes) find the desper ate courage to stare our faulls in the face. The fear of dvine the open and acknowledged fear. I not the morbid apprehension : of some can give us a j deeper insight into the rlif-! ficult art of living; but on the morning 1 recovered. I was again frolicking on the beach, my resolutions forgotten along with my fears. This is the sad biography of man kind.

Russia's Motives Reds Have Worries A number of reasons, all speculative, have been ad vanced for the Soviet course of action in Cuba. The island now is estimated to have at least $200 million worth of Soviet arms, including nuclear carrying missiles. The simplest theory is that the weapons would make eas ier the export of Castro's rev olution to other Latin Amer ican nations by violent means. Another is that Khrushchev intended to use Cuba to in crease his bargaining position on Berlin. A third is that a Soviet base in Cuba might make the United States more agreeable to Soviet demands that for eign bases all over the world be eliminated. In all three there may be some validity. Washington Report By William (ei United reatur Syndicate CLEAN AIR BLOWING Washington- The cold but clean air of danger stoutly recognized and coolly met rTCrfBSL'n bl0WS tnrou Wash ington j now that this government at last confronts the moment of truth with honesty and honor. The procla mation of the Kennedy doc- trine means that the United States of America will retreat no more. It may mean war with the Soviet Union - if the Soviet Union refuses to draw back from the preparation of nuclear aggression in this hemisphere. It means that, come what may, we will tol erate no broadening of the offensive Soviet lodgement in Castro Cuba. It means that the years of bowing our heads and our vital interests to "world opin ion," informed or uninformed, held in good faith or bad failh, have come at last to a close. It means that the United States, having so long be sought a peace that would not come, now rises in power and purpose in resolve to die on its feet if it cannot win a life of dignity and justice on its knees. Through three adminis trations - Truman's, Eisen hower's, Kennedy's - we have gone the last mile in patience, in hope endlessly denied. We are not yet done with talking and appealing, and rightly not done. But we are done with only talking and appealing. Now, we shall, if necessary, act and act yet agin. rpO DISCOUNT the perils would be the bravado of the child; but not to have taken our stand would have been an unmanly betrayal of this nation. All these words discribe the large sense of the partial blockade of Cuba. And the blockade, for all ils somber meaning, is far less significant than President Kennedy's ac companying warning that any nuclear attack from Cuba any where in the Western Hemis phere will be met with a retal itory American strike on the one true seat of the world's ; infection, the Soviet Union. But other things remain to; be said. Happily. Kennedy has now abandoned the small- j bore partisan politics of a Congressional election c a m paign which, for Ihe sake of something called "Medical Care." had threatened to com promise national unity in anj hour of unexampled gravity.! The people are now drawn to gether in that concert which alone can see us through, ifi anything can. Only the small est of partisans, Democrats or j Republicans, are talking "poli tics" any more. I B UT THE President also needs now to dismiss from "You re boring 'em with you would do about Cuba If 3 LaaaauasV won I A 1 F9R If Cuba can be obtained cheaply, then so much th better. But it seems highly un likely that Khrushchev delib erately would seek a war over Cuba, far from Soviet supply lines and at a cost the Russian people inevitably would have to pay. Khrushchev's world strategy requires a high degree of ma neuverability, which already has been reduced by his own quarrel with Red China, China's attack on India and his own internal difficulties. It seems highly unlikely that he would reduce this ma neuverability further by en trusting the decision over use of nuclear weapons to the un predictable Fidel Castro any more than he would to East Germany's Walter Ulbrecht. S. White his administration those who pressed upon him, then new and untried in the White House, the refusal and ade quate American military sup port to the patriots' invasion of Castro Cuba in April of 1961. Rightly backed, it might have ended this nightmare long ago. Dismiss them he should, not to seek devils for the past but as a necessary reassurance to the nation that he is really done with listening lo the decent but timid men who have helped bring us to the edge of catastrophe. It is not their motives but rather their minds - and the minds of all those unofficial experts who grandly ridiculed the fear nf Communism in Cuba and as sured the country even later1 that Cuba was only a "peri pheral" problem - which are now shown so mortally wrong. We need now a government of national unity free of the symbols of past weaknesses, free of those whose one poli cy, however elegantly expres sed, has always come to tha same: Don't act; don't act any where. rAN ADLAI Stevenson, not questioning his patriotism and devotion, really continue) to speak for all this nation at the United Nations? Can Ches ter Bowles, not questioning his patriotism and devotion, continue usefully to "advise" the president on foreign af fairs? Can such men effective ly present to the world, with all the hard candor now re quired, the terrible and ma jestic truth that the United States is at last resolved to do its duty. U.N. or no U.N., "world opinion" or no "world opinion?" A good, lough-minded au thentic Republican should re place Stevenson at the U. N., replace him all the way.
