NOVEMBER IB. 19E2 Medford s Opportunity We await with interest and anticipation the reports which will be made by the Chamber of Commerce group now touring cities in Oalitornia to get ideas for the revitalization and beautifica tion of Medford's core area. Much progress has been made in Medford the street tree program, new store fronts and in teriors, the use of permanent and attractive side walk awnings, provision of more parking space. But more needs to be done, a fact which is fin ally beginning to sink in merchants and landlords. It has long been a beauty and convenience luxuries they are necessities for civic survival. rN FEB. 3, 1958 almost five years ago we discussed this matter in this space. The comments are even more pertinent today than they were then. We quote, in part: "Shopping centers . . .are posing an increasing threat to that original 'shopping center' known as 'downtown.' In some cities, downtown has suf fered severely from the new, convenient centers, with ample parking spaces, which have grown up to serve the increasingly suburbanized popula tion. " 'Downtown,' which usually was laid out in the days of railroads and horse and buggies, has a couple of strikes against it these days of grow ing traffic congestion. The worst is the lack of parking space. But, also, the crowded streets force pedestrians to go to a corner and wait for a traf fic signal before they can cross the street. "In addition, the noise, confusion and even smell of automobile traffic do not furnish the most restful and attractive environment for the shopper ... "MOTABLE experiments in city improvement ' have been made in a number of communi ties . . . "In Medford, there would be little point in trying anything of the kind (a mall type shopping area downtown) as long as the highway runs through the middle of the city on Central and Riverside avenues. But the day is not far off when the freeway will be completed through town, relieving much of the congestion on those two streets. Come that day and it might pay the city and its merchants to think in terms of making 'downtown' a more attractive and convenient place than it now is. "... This is no time to sit on our hands, hoping wistfully that 'something will turn up' to alter the trend which is blighting downtown areas lrom coast to coast . . . "And it is blindness to believe that it is none has a stake in the health if for no other reason than that it pays a lion's share or tne taxes which, Citizen would have to pay. AMPLE parking, shopper convenience, and "beauty these are the three keys to any area, whether shopping center or city core, which is de pendent on consumer trade. We predict that the Chamber exoui) will re turn with some yeasty ideas about what can and should be done in Medford. Whether they can sell these ideas to their tors remains to be seen. But something is goinp- to have to be done, and done soon, if the Medford core area is to re main prosperous and healthy. It will take leader ship ot considerable stature. Most oi all it will take cooperation, hard work, imagination, and money. It will not be done overnight. AS WE view it, Medford has before it a great opportunity. , If it strives to achieve space, beauty, con venience and utility; if it encourages the orderly development of a new civic center in the west park area; if, in short, it takes full advantage of the means which have proven themselves time and time again, and does not put the almighty dollar above livability and charm, then it will be on its way. If it fails in this, the entire community will suffer. E. A.

Victory To the Editor: President Kennedy's "heroic" removal of Russia's missiles from Cuba is being dramatically broad casted and headlined through out the world as a great U.S. cold war victory. Bui just how much of a victory is it? And how much of a hero is our President to the millions of people who now realize that General Edwin A. Walk er was liquidated by the White House for urging our Government to do what he (Kennedy) has finally very tardily done himself? And how heroic is he to the peo ple of the South? He called out the troops, but he did not invade Cuba. He invaded Mississippi. Also, can't help wondering how much of a hero our Presi dent is to the Cuban Freedom Fighters. There would have been no missile bases in Cuba in the first place if he had given this brave little band of men the promised air cover (of their own air force of Cuban pilots) and the B26 bombers provided for in the pre-invasion plans. But at the last mintilc Kennedy forbade the bombers to take off. And twice more, during the criti cal hours of battle, he refused air cover for these men. So the betrayed, invading pa triots' valliaut attempt to re gain their homeland failed, and they were shot like fish in a barrel on the beach at the Bay of Pigs. How docs our President stack up with all the Ameri cans who fell for his vote getting, political, grandstand play over Cuba and voted his New Frontier Congressmen and Senators into office for him, now that he has prom ised Khrushchev that Cuba will never be invaded, or any armed force ever used against Castro? Can they understand, now, that it was Kennedy, and not Khrushchev, who has i retreated.' Ann mat me per-j petuation of tins Communist j cancer i.i Ihe Western Hemis phere has been guaranteed?

They cannot see that this is a battle over slates' rights far more than it is over the rights of Negroes, that those using the Negro for a pawn care noth ing for his rights. They cannot see that for the first time our liberal President has stepped jarringly and unpleasantly out of character and used the same tactics dictators use to keep the masses under subjec tion. Nor can they see that their own freedom is as stake. And they cannot face the fact there is a conspiracy afoot to destroy the South by n unholy mixing of the while and black races in defiance of God's will, a conspiracy that the Communist party, the NAACP, and the United Na tions all seem to be mixed up in; with, reportedly, large sums of money being poured into the program by the big lax free foundations. As far back as 1 f) 1 2 the blue print for the South's destruction was written by the Commu nist, Israel Cohen as follows: "We must realize that our party's most powerful weapon is racial tension. By pounding the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by the whites, we can mould them to the program of the Commu nist party. In America we will aim for a subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whiles, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Ne groes. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and the world of sports and entertainment.

O Dear Senator Morse: This letter will be as brief as I can make it. Congratulations upon your having hood-winked the people again. This is written so as to express dismay at your re-election to the post of U. S. Senator from Oregon. This is an outstanding exam ple of people not examining the record of an incumbent. This means then that either people do not take tha time to find out the facts or they just don't care. The reasons are many why I have taken this stand but I will attempt to enumerate a few. I would like lo know why you have voted consistently against the free nations of the world such as free China. It seems that any nation thai wants lo operate its ow n gov ernment is voted against by you. It has been stated that Morse is for the people. We would like to know what peo ple. Your softness on Com munism and better red than dead attitude in dealing with these gangster governments is much in evidence.

The first two are based on rights of conquest and agree ments concluded between the Western belligerents and the Soviet Union six months be fore the war in Europe ended. The third is perhaps the most difficult because it is the least clearly defined. Original Allied agreements in London and Potsdam look- j ed toward an eventually re united Germany and a single peace treaty, and therefore did not forsee the need nearlv 20 years later of guaranteed access to Berlin. But that such a situation ex ists is a fact and is aggrevated by continuing Soviet threats to sign a separate peace trea ty, and thus place control of Berlin access in the hands of the Communist East Germans. This is where current ne gotiations between the two German zones come in. The impoverished East Ger man zone is desperately in need of money and has asked the West Germans fpr nearly S900 million in long term credits. y By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises Inc.

Washington Report By William (ci United Feature Syndicate END TO NEUTRALISM Washington-Alike for the soft dreamers in foreign pol icy and for the hard cynics cloaked in a sDurious sclf- nghteottsness. these are the rVW'T days of a bit- ber. In Presi d e n t Ken nedy's decis ion to act at last against sf$ tnc Soviet military lodg ment in Cas tro Cuba, the White tlrst set llle dreamers, lost such operative influence as they had held in the conduct of American policy. Gone before the winds of reality is their curious phil osophy. This was that Soviet military penetration of this hemisphere could be handled, first, by pretending it did not exist and later by arguing that even if it did exist the only way was to try to wish the rocket emplacements out of Cuba by appeals to Cuba, to Nikita Khrushchev or to "world opinion." k ND now, something more than Indian border posi tions is falling before the Chinese communist invasion of India. Falling, too, is a policy of a coldly cynical al leged Indian "neutralism" as between east and west which was never in fact neutral at all. Instead, it was a means of gelling the maximum out of both sides for India while endlessly proclaiming a "non alignment'" which in nearly every showdown was partial lo the Soviet Union and Com munist China. For years in this way Prime Minister Nehru had run a cozy shop of unexampled na tional selfishness, all the while proclaiming himself a sort of secular saint of the modern world and cannily foxing old ladies of both sexes into prostrating them selves before his phony shrine as "the world's leading statesman for peace." Even his brutal invasion some lime ago of the tiny Portuguese colony of Goa did not suffice to unfrock him in the minds of his western ido lators. Nor had his earlier, and still persisting, refusal to enter any sort of fair negotia tions with neighboring Pakis tan over the disputed prov ince of Kashmir. 4 TIRELESS advocate of "self - determination of peoples" - wherever other large nations' ambitions were political, geographic or econ omic abstractions. They are, in Ihe main, as decent and fear ful and confused as we are. And they regard us as abstrac tions as much as we do them. It is only after the conflict that enemies emerge as peo ple much like us. hoping Ihe same things for their children, full of t lie same anxieties ;md prayers and puzzlements. It is not abstractions we kill, but people. Communism is an idea, and "Come on we're enterprise m i " Mll i ' 1 THIS Jff tf ..? Access Bonn, supported by lis al lies, is reported making a con dition of any new credits as surance that there will be no change in Berlin access routes. This means that thcra shall be no attempt by the Communist East to set up a visa system which in effect would mean recognition ot an independent East Ger many. S. White concerned-he refused even to consider granting the loans a vote to determine their own, future, as so long he has re fused such a vote to the peo ple of Kashmir. But what Kashmir could not do and even Goa could not do, though his action here was a naked act of aggres sion by the large against tha small, the Chinese communist invasion of his own country has now done. For this thrust into his own homeland, by a pwer whose evil candor hi its lust for territory is not matched even by that of tha Soviet Union, has accomp lished much. II has exposed to all tha world the intellectual trick ery and moral squalor of a "neutralism" which was never neutral and of a voice crying "peace" to the world but concerned instead strict ly and solely with Indian self interest. OUT, more importantly, tha exposure is occurring within India, too. The Indian people are beginning to learn where this kind of "nonalign ment" has taken them, and what it has done to their na tional safety. Already, Nehru lias had to axe his chief associate in tha old game of high hypocrisy, Krishna Menon. Already, Nehru has had to say, in pub lic, that he, too, now wonders about his past altitudes. Al ready Nehru, the man who could never, never be ques tioned, is being questioned at home as well as abroad. Indeed, but for the tragic victims among Indian soldiery of Nehru's ill-prepared mili tary forces, it might be said that the Chinese communists have done the world a favor. As of course all rational men must hope, they will never conquer India, nor would the West permit it. But they have shown to all the world tha bankruptcy of Nehru's kind of "neutralism." Clay Sees Few Months of Quiet Bonn, Germany (UPI! Gen. Lucius D. Clay predicted to day there would be "a few months of relative quiet" in the world situation as a result of the Cuban crisis. Clay, President Kennedy's special adviser on Berlin, came here for a four-day series of talks on the Soviet threat to Berlin and other problems facing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He said he believes the Rus sians "need time to figure out their next course of action" and doubts they will move against Berlin even after tha lull. "There is so little they can do in Berlin that would not lead to a military conflict, a direct challenge," Clay said. Clay said he did not think recent harassment of U. S. Military convoys to Berlin had any significance. HOOVER RECOVERING Washington -!TI- FBI Di rector J.
