NOVEMBER 7, 1982 "Bubbleheaded Inspiration " Yesterday's election was the 18th we have been involved with as a working newspaperman. There were a couple of others in which we were involved politically. In almost all of them there have been last-minute flurries and cries of "smear," "fraud," "unethical tactics," and so on. Therefore it came as no particular surprise to see the same thing happen Monday night. It took the form of a long anti-Morse TV ti rade from two representatives of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Water Resources Association. The best description of it was provided by another director of the association, who called it a "bubbleheaded inspiration." IT ALL stemmed from an advertisement which appeared in southern Oregon newspapers the last days of the campaign, pointing out that Sena tor Morse had been instrumental in obtaining the authorization for the Rogue Basin project. The ad reproduced a letter from the president of the association, thanking Morse and praising mm lor nis work. Ihe ad also (and we must con fess we thought this was stretching a point) re produced the sponsoring organizations of the As sociation, most of which non-political. The advertisement nce-seeker claiming credit for what he had done for his constituency. There was no implication that the sponsoring organizations supported Morse. Indeed, any normally-bright person could see that the Granges, chambers of commerce, and otners, would be violating such support. H! OWEVER, some members of these groups felt that there was such an irnnlicaMnn. and snno-hr. to counter it. as thev have T ( aid so via acis in tne urants rass courier. (The Mail Tribune came in for criticism because It did not accept similar ads because its deadline was past. The criticism is unjustified. Our Advertising Director reports: "The only approach for space, to my knowledge, was a call from Grants Pass simply in the form of an inquiry. No further comment was offered when the caller was informed that It was too late. There was not the slightest indication of urgency, no request to disregard deadlines . . i We would certainly have made an exception in our deadline rules if any side at any time feels an Injustice has been done and would seek an advertising outlet for rebuttal.") So far, so good. Then came Monday night's nroeram durincr which F. I. Bristol tore into Morse for listing these non-political organizations thus involv ing them in politics far more thoroughly and parusaniy man tne aa A SIMPLE disclaimer isations would have to draw them into an all-out was something else again, far more serious than the mere listing of their names on a letterhead. (We also mildly resented the criticism of the Mail Tribune's story about the affair because it gave Senator Morse's side of the question, as well as that of the pro testers. Presumably Bristol would have been happier If we had printed the one-sided handout - which was pre pared at county Republican headquarters, incidentally -without change and without addition.) Thus this "bubbleheaded inspiration" had two results : 1. To involve far more than thev alreadv were the non-political organizations in partisan pomics, ana, 2. 1 o effectively place Control and Water Resources Association in stri dent opposition to the man who had been so in strumental in obtaining authorization for the project they have sought. MOW that Senator Morse has won reelection by A" a substantial margin, and will be joined by Democrat Bob Duncan in the House of Represent atives representing the does the Association propose to do now? As Bristol himself pointed oiit, authorization of the Rogue project is only one step. Appropria tions must be obtained from the Concress. We hope this last-minute partisan attack in the name of the Association will not influence Morse against the project, but it still is not the best argument for him to go out of his way to aid the Association in its quest for construction money. i in oUiuMAK I , Morse may nave stretched a point in listing the Association sponsors in his advertisement although tioe in a hot political contest to do this sort of thing. But it was inexcusable for Bristol and a few others to bring the Association and its sponsors into what was patently a hatchet effort at the last the ad as an excuse. Unless we are sadly considered action has jeopardized the Associa tion s enectiveness, and has certainly put an end to Bristol's usefulness to the group. E.A.

Autumn Leaves To the Editor: I walked In the autumn wood land, As the leaves came drifting down, Clad In their gala costumes Of red and gold and brown. A few days before in lively green, They fluttered and danced in the breeze As if all their purpose in being Was to cling to the par ent trees. But now they have broken the tie And t-iey seem not to worry at all. As in golden drifts they lie In their lovely dresses of Fall. Is it their life's full duty As with each other they vie, To reach the 7enlth of beauty In the moment that they die? Is it thus wilh human leaves As they flutter and dance In the sun, To attain their greatest glory When their earthly life is done. L. G. Weaver 301 Haven Medford County Fair Thoughts To the Editor: May I sug gest all persons interested in Jackson county lair ciicck with the Douglas county fair people. They have a lovely layout and when we lived at Winchester, five miles norm of Roseburg, last year, we at tended the show every eve ning, and we all agreed we enjoyed it more than the state fair. The cost was reasonable and parking Just a step away from the gate, not a mile away in two inches of dust. We got our money's worth In free shows, rock and agate exhibits, the 4-11 division, old timer cars and many other typical county show doings. Their buildings were in use every month in the year with home shows, new car shows and even big sales promotions. such as the recent Moonlight Sales here. With access to the nearby freeway, the pass ing tourists were there in force too. There are many places near the new freeway through Medford with access to the freeway. Barnett road is near the old fairgrounds. Why can't the ground in between be used? Bear Creek could be diverted to form a lagoon or small lake with picnic areas. The local garden clubs could plant and maintain flower beds in view of passing traffic for a permanent advertise ment of a town and county proud of their local fair. Elsie S. Johnson 4069 South Pacific Hwy. Medford. From tha Oliva Grova To the Editor: Some of my friends perhaps wonder if I've taken off for Siberia. No. not quite. Just got tired of looking at pears and decided on olives for a change. Out in the orchards some one rancd me for being a Wehfoot. They also let me know that the rain which had caused t h c unprecedented quagmire in the olive groves was Oregon mist and had missed Oregon. I soon put my native son friend on the right track. They were told that the webs between my toes were what was keeping me afloat in the sea of California mud. Also that this wet of of the wettest earlv October storm had come from the south. The hundreds of bent over trees leaning north were ample proof. But believe it or not, the breeres have been from the north, and hat do you know? Vet vjbdU days in this usual MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON TaS (arAaasWaaaVr bear in nam and addrasi of ly sun drenched Sacramento valley have felt like home - in Medford, that is. You see it's been foggy. But it's been 60 per cent fog, much unlike the 29-32 degree variety up Rogue valley way. No, I haven't gotten rich down here but the wife told me by phone that our proper ty tax was due. Really, I feel so generous that I'd love to walk into the Jackson county courthouse with my money and free olives fresh off the trees for everyone there. It's an idea. Maybe I'll really do it. Eating olives fresh from the tree is an unforgetable ex perience. Those who have eaten only the canned ones little dream of what they have missed. The growers here al low us pickers to eat all we can eat while we are picking. So to my friends, I'll bring back a supply to pass around. Of course it might be well to wait till after election. In the sheer enjoyment that comes with eating unprocess ed tree-ripe olives one might vote for the wrong candidate. In fact, you might even vote the opposite than what you in tended. Ground up fresh olives put in fresh water make an eye opening drink. See you all up there soon. You can call me at 482-2105 for free fresh olives. I'm not selfish. Henry Johnson Jr. 1405 North st. Corning, Calif. Daisy's Back To the Editor: I'm sure most of us are sorry to see John Snider vacate the mayor's job. However, I'm also kind of glad! It means that, (and haven't you notice?)

S. forests horizon, RR rob ber barons and lumber looters of the public domain held full sway. They scorned Pinchot, feared and hated him. Mil lions of square miles of U. S. lands had been stolen. The halls of congress. U. S. Land Offices. Courts were havens for and bedlams of political corruption. The Great Lakes states' forest were a shambles and or the land a scorched earth. Some of the looters moved West and continued forest de struction. When Pinchot pled and fought for National For est Reserves for future use, he was booed and insulted by private special Interest lumbermen. They chanted and printed, "America's Inex haustible Forests" to the world. Some of them still say there's plenty of timber in federal holdings, and Insist that it be thrown on the open market at bargain prices. It is Ihe people's heritage and those sayings show how little privale special interests groups care for the welfare of America or her people, pres ent or furture. Read the N Y. Times editorial on this sub ject. Read Secretary of Agri culture Fre.-man's talk to the Western Pine Assn., S;pt. 14. 1962. In seeking a solution to this lumber industry's dilem ma, might it not be well to keep In mind, constantly, that we are dealing with the same elements that George Wash ington mentioned in his Jan.

Gifford Pinchot's pleadings and fights were against some of the same characters named in "Looters of the Public Do main," still fighting the rights of the people. President Theodore Roose velt's appeal, charge, demand, to all state Governors and 600 big-business men, May 13, 1908; was: "The states nor the federal government should allow any more cut ting of timber except it be with a provision that the next generation shall see the tim ber increased instead of di minished." John E. Gribble 139 Kenwood Medford, Ore. Word of Prophecy To the Editor: In your edi torial section you supported those who say that much of the Bible is fable. As a patrio- tic American, I am glad for the freedom of press which gives you the right to express your thoughts either for or against the truth of the Bible. I firmly believe that truth will stand more convincingly as it is challenged and will give its own answer to those who dili gently and with a pure heart seek for It. First off, we ought to con sider what the Bible itself says about the fable question. I wish to quote the words which God spoke through the Apostle Peter as he was look ing forward to die for the truth: "Knowing that shortly I must put off this tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. Moreover I will endeavor that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remem brance. For we have not cun ningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him In the holy mount, we have also a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take hoed, as unto a light that shin eth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the pro phecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But there were false prophets also among the peo ple, even as there shall false tachers among you, who privily shall bring in damn able heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." (Second Peter 1: 14 to 21 and 2: 1&2 Peter said that the "word of prophecy" was more sure than what he saw. Thrlma Malott 1691 South Peach st. Medford. It THAT What Wa Said? To the Editor: Your incred ibly fertile imagination has once again taken a contem porary world situation (with respect to Cuba!, and produc ed a fantasy, conforming to your mechanistic idea of w hat the United Nations should be. According to your Oct. 31, 1962 editorial. Cuba was a dangerouj situation because President Kennedy had to "let off steam" and fortunately the U.N. was available to act as a safety vslvt. Alas! you have J. War Which Began 12 They came out of the morn ing mists like ghostly sleep walkers, advancing almost shoulder to shoulder. They seemed to come out of the ground Itself and, like rice shoots, when one fell another took his place. The arms they carried were simple ones. They liked the Russian burp gun. It wasn't much more than a barrel with a trigger attached, but at fair ly close range it sprayed bul lets with deadly efficiency. The winter months of 1950 51 were not happy ones for the Americans In Korea, fighting a new kind of enemy in miserable terrain, against unfamiliar tactics and in bit ter cold. Before the United Nations forces there were to be weld ed into one of the world's most magnificent fighting machines, costly lessons were to be learned. The Chinese soldiers ad vanced like deadly automa tons but they had not been trained to improvise nor to take advantage of sudden op portunities. Bob Gibson was a UPI cor respondent who lived through one of those human wave as saults. The vivid dispatch he filed told how one Chinese soldier walked straight through an overrun American machine gun post, simply kicking the gun aside as he continued his slow pace for ward. In a surprise night attack, the Chinese captured a U. S. artillery position complete wih guns and amunition. Two weeks later when the Ameri cans recaptured the position, the guns still stood with their muzzles pointed north, ready for use and with ammunition still stacked neatly nearby. This correspondent recalls a Chinese soldier horribly burned by napalm. For two weeks after his fellows had fallen back he had hidden in a Korean pig sty, clinging to life and stolidly ignoring his pain. This is the nature of the finally realized the U.N. is not the "world's greatest hope for peace." In your own words it is merely a "safety valve" for letting off steam. Well, you have the situa tion in very clear perspective: President Kennedy demon strated great courage and even statemanship in agreeing to let U Thant go to Cuba to work out a system of dis mantling and removing offen sive nuclear weapons. While all that proceeded this-President Kennedy call ing to Washington his top mil itary aides and cabinet mem bers, congressional leaders, etc.; declaring the quarantine on Cuba with notice to the whole world and the Soviet Union, that no offensive nu clear material would be allow ed through to Cuba and what was already Installed must be removed; the fact that the President and Secretary of Defense moved and prepared the Armed Forces for possible action; the fact that almost immediately after the Presi dent declared himself he had all of South America pledging support, with England and France and our other allies doing likewise (many of these countries had ships andor material affected by the quar antine); the fact the President had the imr.-.sdiate support of virtually all responsible Americans and especially the support of his political oppo sition; the fact that President Kennedy had demonstrated traditional courage, faith, de termination, r e s p o n sibility and will; the extremely im portant fact that Khrushchev subsequently, in the face of this concerted demonstration, quickly backed away, re treated (momentarily though it be) - all this, and more, in the humanistic eyes of Eric Allen was nothing more than an effective method of gener ating dangerous steam! Aah! But I have not even mentioned the United Na tions. Perhaps I should -Hooray! for Eric Allen's "safe ty valve." Robert J. Howard 702 Beekman St. Medford. Gantle Explanation To the Editor: and Mrs. Ray Doran. With Ihe kindest re gards for you and your deep concern over the plight of the Southern Negro shown in your letter (M.T. Oct. 11) may I explain to you as gently as possible that the 1954 deseg regation decision, which ap plies only to the state of Ar kansas, is not "the law of the land." But even if It was. the tragic invasion of Mississippi with federal troops Is a brutal and Indefensible violation of state's rights, the 10th Amend ment, and Ariticle 4. Section 4 of our Constitution. You see. the states created the Consti tution and the federal govern ment, and they did not dele gate to the central govern ment the power to send armies to crush Its creators. Bear in mind that the ter rible result of this illesal In vasion, at stated by eyewit- 1 I m J!a enemy which now faces the outmanned and outgunned In dian fighters in the high Hi malayas as the Red Chinese move for domination of the whole of Asia.

SYMPTOM AND DISEASE Like a dilatory patient who goes to see the doctor six years after the onset of hacking and chronic cough, the human race is con cerned only with symp toms and not with diseases, only with cures and not p r e v e ntion. We are now looking for a , Harris pill to cure our cosmic cancer. "What can we do about Cuba?" asks the worried citi- ness students, was the shoot ing of several students by fed eral marshals; one shot in the arm; one shot in the stomach with a sawed off shot gun; and one of whom, shot be tween the eyes, died. (Smoot Report, Oct. 15). If this can happen in Mississippi, it can happen again, at any time, in any state, endangering the rights of all citizens, including Negroes. It may come as a shock to you that the majority of Ne groes do not favor race mixing and integration. As a whole they do not welcome physical, psychological, educational, or matrimonial intergration with the white race. In Atlantic City housing projects they in sisted on racial segregation when allowed to choose the project where they desired to iive. Also Los Angeles, Chi cago, and New York City, where every desegregation law that can be dreamed up by political demagogues has been passed, are all fast be coming the most segregated cities in the nation. In these and other great cities of the North many Negroes hold good jobs. Their children are in school. They drive good cars and live in good homes. But they are segregated. And here where the big white churches are wide open to them, Negroes seldom go to white churches. They go to their own. Those who would force race mixing and destroy the white and black races by throwing the blacks and whites together will never succeed. For it is contrary to nature. It was not the South that started segre gation. It was Almighty God who made the human race yellow, brown, white, and black and put them each on a continent by themselves. And His determination to pro tect His people the way they were created will prevail. L. C. Powell 316 S. E. Eighth St. Grants Pass, Ore. Pear Utilisation To the Editor: Now that election is over maybe we can all start thinking of other things. In other words we must always keep looking ahead, so many things need ing to be done, and goodness knows there's a plenty. So what's on my mind Is this pear business. So hard to see these tons and tons of our Rogue valley pears dumped here and there, big piles of them, to rot. My ques tion is, why can't there be a group formed to start tip a WW'MW1 -iff m : "Maybe 11 1 tha 'ltt-down' after a campaign.

I" DaimimI IXCIIIIIIU Years Ago But neither can make up soon for India's lack of pre paredness. And over the week end came conformation of a fact already suspected. In the hour of crisis, Nikita Khrushchev's proclaimed friendship for India counted for less than kinship in com quest with his Communist al lies. J. Harris zen - and there simply is no satisfactory answer any more. Six years ago, or more, when the corrupt and repressive Batista government was ruin ing the country, we asked no questions about Cuba. When it was perfectly evi dent that Hitler was about to overrun all of Europe, we ask ed "What can we do about the Nazis?" The only answers were war or surrender; the disease had progressed to far and too fast. Nobody was much con cerned about Germany in tha years between tha Arm istice of tha First World War and tha Depression years when tha Nazis war making tha most out of Ger many's impoverished con dition. Likewise, by tha time tha Bolsheviks took over Russia in 1918, it was already loo lata for tha world to do anything but fight or accada to it. Pravantitiva medicine has grown enormously in tha last few decades; but there still is no pravantiva states manship, no inoculation against tha virus of war and tyranny and revolution. We supported, both act ively and passively, Batis ta's rotten administration in Cuba. Anyone with a grain of political sense could hav foreseen that tha pendulum would tome day swing to tha other extreme - that a Castro it tha logical out growth of a Batista, as tha terrible excesses of tha French Revolution followed the axcatsea of tha French monarchy. In physics, every schoolboy knows that "action and re action are equal." The same is true in the political life of. mankind. The repressive Czar ism was followed by the even more repressive Bolshevism; indeed, no nation wilh a his tory of democracy has ever voluntarily became totalitar ian. Both communism and facism have succeeded ONLY where liberty had never been known before. Cuba is a symptom, not a disease; Berlin is a symptom, not a disease; Korea and Viet nam and a half-dozen others are all symptoms and not dis eases. And there is little that one can do about a symptom while the disease persists. They are all symptoms of the world's neglect, its indif ference, its narrow self-interest, its unwillingness to faca the obvious fact that preven tive statesmanship is the only way to keep the peace. What ever we "do" about Cuba to day will be wrong. new business among our local people to experiment in vari ous ways, such as pies, can dies, jellies, juices, gum drops, and see which group can come out best.
