Bob Duncan, who ran a see-saw cliff-hanger
vote count race most of election night, finally
wound up by winning with a comfortable 11,000
vote majority over his Kepublican Inencl ana op
ponent, Carl Fisher of Eugene.
Duncan carried every county but one, Jose
phine. He carried Fisher s home county, Lane, by
a sum lay votes out ot more man i4,uuu
counted.
His strongest support came along the coast,
where he carried Coos county almost 2 to 1
(11,311 to 5,962) and Curry by almost the same
margin (2,324 to 1,398).
He carried Jackson county by a relatively
slim 2,425 votes (14,214 to 11,789).
FORMER Congressman Charles 0. Porter this
. year was a candidate for director of the
Eugene Water and Electric Board. He cam
paigned vigorously, but was finally defeated by
a substantial margin by the incumbent.
One of our less-kindly staff members sug
gested that maybe Porter ought to go into law
partnership with Richard M. Nixon.
This would hardly work out, however, for
Porter has been a long-time antagonist to Nixon,
and led a demonstration against him when he
was in Eugene during the 1958 election, just be
fore the famous Checkers broadcast.
"NCE again the people of the Coos Bay area
were given an opportunity to consolidate into
one larger city, and once again it was turned
down by North Bend voters.
Voters in Coos Bay, Empire, Eastsicle and in
the unincorporated area involved, voted for con
solidation, this time by a four to one margin.
But it had to be approved in all areas to be
successful, and in North Bend the proposal lost
by 98 votes. Last May, when the same proposal
was on the ballot, North Bend was the only hold
out against consolidation, that time by only 16
votes.
Some day it will pass, however.
IF NORTH Benders like things the way they
are, so do the people of Cave Junction. They
defeated, once again, a proposal to change the
name of their little city to Cave City.
Voters in Plattsburg, Mo., reelected Albert R.
Alexander to his fourth term as magistrate. Mr.
Alexander is 102 years of age.
Voters in Medford, Ashland, Stayton, La

municipal water. Voters in Molalla approved it
(by four votes) as did those m Vancouver

A Nation of Veterans
(Today is observed as a federal holiday inasmuch as
Veterans Day this year falls on Sunday.)
A bitter solace of world-wide wars is that
mankind shares a unifying experience. The liter
ature of war recognizes no frontiers. The profile
ot the American veteran is virtually a profile of
the nation.
For example, about 40 per cent of the popula
tion belongs to a veteran family. There are 22
million veterans of all wars living in the United
States today. Eight out of every ten are married
and head families.
From the Revolution throuch Korea about 30
million persons served in the U.S. armed forces.
Over half of these served in World War II. Since
World War I the total number of livinir veterans
has never fallen below 4.2 million. There were
more veterans in 195S (22.7 million) than at any
other time. Since the Civil War the veteran pop
ulation has remained above 1 million except for
the years between 1910 ami World War I. There
are 416,000 women veterans.
a
"THE universal participation in armed service
in the past half century without at any time
a true universal military service law has made
the nation peculiarly aware of veterans' wants
and needs. The U.S. Veterans Administration op
erates the largest hospital and clinic system in the
nation. On any one day, some 1 12,000 individuals
are cared for in its 170 hospitals. Nearly 600,000
persons are treated yearly; 1.5 million receive
outpatient care.
The Veterans Administration conducts more
than 7000 medical research projects investigating
cancel', heart, and blood diseases, geriatric ail
ments, mental illness, and various disabilities.
The third largest ordinary life insurance en
terprise in the nation is conducted by VA. More
than 6 million policies provide more than $12
billion in protection.

Natural Inequalities
To the Editor: For the life
of me, it's impossible to un
derstand the reasoning of ob
viously intelligent people who
declare for equality of birth.
For at time of birth when
we are most equal, the un
equality is there for anyone
to see or the blind to feel.
For some babies are born rol-ly-poly
fat, destined to be that
way all through life by na
ture's immutable law of her
edity, barring environment in
fluences. Other babies born
thin and angular, to be much
that way through life, Abra
ham Lincoln a notable ex
ample. With hair varying,
with all shades from black
to red, including skin color,
there is as little chance of
any two babies born alike as
there is of their finger-prints
to be alike, the one depend
able used by police.
There are also babies born
with aptlture for money-getting
as they gain toward
adulthood. An aptitude for
seeing profit equal to all op
portunities that brings cash
award to them as surely as
moisture gravitates to salt.
Why such aptitude should be
denied to so many of us is
one of the imponderables of
life. Then there is that unfor
tunate bom, anti-social. A
yellowing news-clipping from
my 1040 files tells the death
of a noted philanthropic club
man Alsphen J. deer. 7H. who
continued the rehabilitation of
criminal work founded by his
wealthy father, George Jarvis
Geer. who, when founding the
1 ) 1 (1 Marshal Stillman plan,
declared; "self-denial, sclf-dis-cipliue
and common sense will
stop more crime than all the
armies of law and order."
Some 30 years later, his
son Alsphen sadly admitted;
"Ninety-eight per cent of the
underworld and its criminal
element is Immune to self-discipline,
self-denial and com
mon sense. The $1.1100.000 my
father and 1 have spent on

Double Loss
To the Editor: Sir, first I
read the letter by L. C. Pow
ell in the Nov. 7 "Communi

heard over the radio the news
of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's
death.
The comparison rather
speaks for itself, doesn't it?
A great mind seeking truth,
no matter its result, and the
many small minds rationaliz
ing to explain their bigotry.
It's sad both the loss of
Mrs. Roosevelt's great mind,
and the loss of the many small
minds through bigotry.

Anything Wrong With That?
To the Editor: I have been
interested in the "color prob
lem" ever since my young
manhood, which was some
time ago. This problem has
existed and persisted until
now it absorbs the attention
of every thinking person in
the land. In fact, it has fo
cuscd the interest of the in.
telligentsia of the world on
the United States. Everybody
wants to see how we will
solve it.
Many Americans have
warped conception of the Ne
gro, as they carry in their
minds the caricature of the
uncouth ignoramus that has
been drawn by people who
want to keep him down in
his place, so to speak. The
poor whites in the deep
South are as ignorant as the
repressed Negroes. Is it the
purpose of the better educat
ed citizens to keep these two
groups permanently "dispos
sessed"? Why do educated Negroes
want to live in good white
neighborhoods? It is my be
lief that they do not wish so
much to live among white
people as just to be in more
desirable neighborhoods, so
that they might rear their
children in attnospheres.of de
cency, cleanliness and refine
ment. Anything wrong with
that desire?

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In these days - as was also
the case back in 1898 - Cuba
is the hottest spot in the news
so far as the U.S.A. is con
cerned.
So-
Perhaps-
II might be a good idea to
lake a look at how Cuba got
started.
WHEN Columbus landed on
the island of San Salva
dor 470 years ago, he thought
he had reached an outpost of
the fabulous Indies. So he
called the simple Caribbean
natives who came out to meet
him Indians. Instead, he had
stubbed his toe on an outpost
of the Western Hemisphere.
He stayed only a week or
so at San Salvador and then
started on to find the main
land, and his search led him
to Cuba - which he believed
to be the mainland of China.
He started inland to find the
city of Peking so that he
could deliver to the Emperor
of China a letter from Ferdi
nand and Isabella of Spain.
He didn't find Peking and
the Chinese Emperor, but he
did quite a little exploring
and when lie got home he
described what he had seen
as "the loveliest land that
human eyes have ever beheld."
The Cubans adopted their con
stitution in 1901 - and as a
part of their constitution they
included a lease on a naval
base at Guantanamo bay to
run for 99 years. This is the
lease that Castro says we've
got to give up.
There is the story.
It is a long story. It is a sad
story. For upwards of four
centuries Cuba was one of
the tragic spots of this earth.
Its best years were the years
in which we were playing the
role of big brother, seeking
to teach the Cuban people
how to govern themselves.
Now Fidel Castro, as evil
tyrant as Cuba has ever
known, says we must get out.
Clear out, abandoning even
the naval base that we occupy
under a clear legal title, thus
turning Cuba over to undis
puted communist rule.
Shall we get out?
If we do, we ought to be
everlastingly ashamed of ourselves.

is growing. There are only
ten vacancies at the present
time for new members. When
the club has reached the
maximum allowable member
ship, applicants will have to
remain on a waiting list for
a vacancy or until there are
sufficient members to form
another club.
Prospective members are
expected to attend at least
two meetings of the club be

The meetings are held the

4T ANY rate, he claimed
this lovely land for Spain,
and from 1492 until 1898,
with a few brief intervals,
Spain owned Cuba.
The Spanish did a rotten
job of governing the lovely
island. There was no gold
there, so they started cultivat
ing the rich soil, following the
plantation system. They en
slaved the friendly peaceful
Indians, and treated them so
cruelly that by 1530 they
were all dead.
The Spaniards then sent out
slave-raiding parties to bring
in more slaves from the sur
rounding Islands. When this
supply of slave labor failed,
they brought in Negro slaves
from Africa. By 1532, more
than half the people in Cuba
were Negroes.
OPANISH misg
Cuba went

on for cen

That led to ill feeling between

course, resented our attitude.
On our side, sympathy with
the Cubans flamed into hatred
of Spain. Relations became

Sales Finance
Companies Hold
Credit Dollars
New York -UTO- When deal
ers extend installment credit
to buyers of automobiles or
washing machines or other
appliances, the largest single
portion of the credit dollar is
likely to be held by a sales
finance company, the Ameri
can Finance Conference re
ported. The conference is a national
association of independent
sales finance companies, and
in a newly-issued booklet it
reviews the uses 'and sources
of credit employed by mil
lions of American household
ers in their purchases of dur
able goods.
The dealers who make the
original sales to the consumer
extend more credit than those
who lend money, the booklet
explains. But in turn, these
dealers or merchants sell most
of their retail installment con
tracts to credit institutions.

But the extraordinary nature
of the Republican triumph of
the statehouses is undeniably
more important for 1964. In
winning the governorships of
New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Michigan the Re
publicans have now captured
the very political mechanisms
by 'A'hich Mr. Kennedy could
well be defeated next time
out.
More than this, they have
broadened the field of effec
tive Republican presidential
aspirants as it has not been
broadened before in half a
century. But for the defeat
of Richard Nixon in Califor
nia in the reelection of Gov.
Pat Brown, the struggle for
the critical statehouses would
have been an unbroken dis
aster for the Democrats.
Even as matters stand, il is
an enormous defeat. The fact
that some small states went
Democratic at the statehouse
is not of much significance.
What is important here is not
so much how many states are
to be held by which party but
what states they are.
. .
FOR New York, Pennsylva
nia, Michigan and Ohio
between them can go far, be
cause of their high presiden
tial electoral vote, toward
dominating any presidential
election, assuming they all go
the same way. Before this
election, three of them
Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Ohio were in Democratic
hands.
The newly elected gover
nors William Scranton in
Pennsylvania, George Rom
ney in Michigan and James
Rhodes in Ohio will now
be up and about, with all the
power of patronage and per
suasion, to turn those states
Republican in 1964.
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's
reelection in New York by
better than half a million
votes makes him the most for
midable present challenger
for the GOP presidential nom
ination. To say he didn't do
so well as he should have is
to quibble. The plain fact re
mains that the conservative-
to-ultra-conservative Republi
cans will find it far harder
to deny him than they would
have had Nixon not fallen in
California.
PRESENTLY next in order
of probability for 1964 is
Scranton of Pennsylvania.
Next comes Romney in Mich
igan. Sen. Barry Goldwater
of Arizona is now a distant
fourth. But it is foolish to
suppose he is altogether out
of it. His prospects, too, have
been somewhat promoted,
rather than the reverse, by
the essentially conservative
Nixon's defeat.
If the conservative and ultra-conservative
Republicans
should reach veto power over
the 1964 convention they
would be far more likely to
turn to Goldwater than be
fore, now that Nixon has been
finished.
And such a veto power is
by no means out of the ques
tion. For while the election
again confirmed that political
moderation in most of the
country which has persisted
since 1952, it also showed the
clear rise, in the south, south
west and mountain west, of
a deep conservatism. This
mood is not presently any
thing like a decisive move
ment; but it could spread.

She would not permit him
to do anything wrong, to maka
a mistake. Her misplaced zeal
called to mind a comment by
Dr. Earl Kelley in his interest
ing book, "Education For
What Is Real." Dr. Kelley
pointed out:
"The learning experienca
must provide for trial and er
ror, with a recognition of tha
fact that more is often learn
ed by what we do wrong than
by what we do right. We mis
educate almost universally in
that we fail to realize the ed
ucative value of mistakes."
This misguided mother
was following her child
around to see to it that ha
did not do anything
"wrong." But doing things
wrong - with the frustra
tions they bring is what
actually promotes growth,
learning and the ability to
solve problems with a senss
of security.
You may recall the anec

village who was asked
where he got his wisdom
from. "From my good

did your good judgment

"From my bad judgment,"
he replied.
