K. A. I nuvbi'iobii 10 ii0i Politics and the Post Office It has been an open .secret in Democratic party circles in Jackson county that Marvin Madden, county cleark who was reelected Nov. 6, is an active candidate for the Medford postmastership, although he has made no formal application. He was listed as one at the meeting of the Democratic Central Committee Thursday night, and being present, did not deny it. He did not deny it when we asked him, point blank, on Fri day. Another prominent Democrat has been ac tively promoting him for the joh. We consider it a breach of political ethics for anyone to seek an elective office, and then, if successful, refuse to accept it. I7'HliN a candidate files his declaration of can ' " didacy, he is required by state law to declare that he is willing to accept the nomination or elec tion, and that he will qualify if elected. Madden filed such a declaration when he sought the Democratic nomination for county clerk last spring. The recent death of Moore Hamilton, the widely respected and liked post master, left a vacancy in that office. It is filled by appointment, which is usually based on politi cal considerations. If Madden were to receive the appointment as postmaster, and thus renege on his obligation to the voters of the county who put him in of fice, he would be guilty of violating his self-de-clarcd responsibilities, and also his moral obliga tion to the voters. He should, at a minimum, clear the air with a forthright statement that he is not seeking the job, and would not accept if it were offered. A17E AGREE with Bob Duncan in his belief ' that postmasterships should be taken out of the patronage pot. The postal service is a technical one, in which training and ability are necessary, and political preferment is not. All too many postmasters (un like Moore Hamilton, who worked at the job) do little but keep their chairs warm, letting the career men actually run the post offices. Most of the postal service is now under civil service. We see no reason why the ancient spoils system should be permitted to remain the princi pal factor in naming postmasters. E. A. Oregon Dunes Prospects We are hopeful that, with the election of Bob Duncan to Congress from this district, the chances for the creation of an Oregon Dunes Na tional Seashore will be improved. Bob has never been terribly enthusiastic about the Dunes proposal, hut his view of it as a possibly worthwhile thing is in stark contrast to the opposition voiced by Congressman Edwin Durno, who Duncan will succeed in January. Duncan has stated that he thinks he and Senator Neuberger can reach agreement on a Seashore bill. Senator Morse docs not oppose the Dunes proposal on principle, and if adequate protection for property owners in the area can be incorporated in a bill, he presumably would add his support to it. "THE STATE also has a responsibility. Governor Hatfield is not against the Dunes, but he and his natural resources chief, Dan Allen, have drag ged their feet, and have insisted on some qualifi cations that might endanger the passage of any really effective Seashore This sort of thing has been going on for a long time. We recently finished reading a book entitled, "Our National Park Policy A Critical His tory," by Prof. John Ise, an internationally known authority on park, forest and land management matters. Ever since Yellowstone became the first Na tional Talk in 1S72, there have been both strong supporters and strong opponents to National Park creation. Generally they have been opposed vari ously by lumber, mining, grazing, power and ir rigation interests, and supported by recreation enthusiasts, lovers of natural beautv. and those who believe that we should retain some of ourllx 11 outdoor heritage for tutiire generations.

CUBA: CRISIS FAR FROM OVER Washington - The out look for any clean, satisfactory set tlement becomes more elusive, more uncertain, more disturb ing every day. President Kennedy and his lop advisers are understand ably hesitant to use blunt words in the middle of deli cate negotiations which might have a faint chance of success. But only a faint chance. At this point it seems to me ur gent to cut through the polite words of officialdom and to look at what is happeninii-nnd what isn't happening- in Cuba since Premier Khrushchev agreed to remove all offensive Soviet weapons under UN in spection. 'PIIE blunt facts are these: Soviet missiles were not dismantled under UN inspec tion. (They were hurriedly dis mantled before inspection of any kind.) Soviet missiles were nol re moved from Cuba under UN inspeclion or under any olher kind of inspection. (We have born allowed to see that packed crates allegedly con taining the missiles were on the decks of Soviet ships.) Some Soviet misisles have been removed. All may have been removed. But we don t KNOW because no trust worthy verification has been allowed. All offensive Soviet weap ons have not, as promised, been removed. Soviet bomb ers capable of carrying nucle ar warheads remain in Cuba. The Russians claim they are not "offensive." Caslro claims they don't belong to Russia, that he bought. them and is going to keep them. Three weeks afler Mr. Khrushchev's clear and con crele commitment, there is still no international inspec tion of incoming ships In guar antee that other offensive So viet weapons will not he re turned.

It's ev ident that the Russians are beginning to act like Russians. This is why the Cuban crisis is far from over. IN HIS letter to President Kennedy on Oct. 27 Mr. Khrushchev made his commit ment explicit. He said "Per sons entrusted by the UN Se curity Council may check on the spot the fulfillment of the pledges made." The President spelled out this pledge in his reply. He said: "Offensive weapons must be rendered inoperable . . . all under effective interna tional inspection." Mr. Khrushchev agreed. In reply he said: "As 1 told you in my letter of 27th October . . .representatives of the UN may verify the dismantling of these means." Are the Soviets lo escape carrying nut their side of the agreement because Castro is reluctant? IT SEEMS to me the answer to that question is that since Khrushchev made the agreement without consulta tinn with Castro, he is obli gated to fulfill it despite Cas tro. The Soviets have the lever age to force Castro to acqui esce. They can cut back eco nomic aid to the point where Castro has no alternative. The fact that they are not doing so suggests thev are seeking a device tn get out of their agreement. It is not a pleasant prospect uncertainty that offensive Soviet weapons have been re moved and uncertain protec tion against their return. Since Mr. Kennedy's com mitment against invasion was conditional upon adequate in ternational inspection, that commitment will have tn be come inoperalive.

But no 1 attention has y e i n e e n i J g i v e n lo another effect of high im portance. Alsnp The American government has received a Jolt from this affair, which has already quite perceptibly altered the viewpoint of the higher policy-makers, and may also alter certain quite significant policy-making procedures. The jolt was administered by those first U-2 pictures proving that Soviet missile bases were being clandestine ly constructed in Cuba. It was a severe jolt, for the quite simple reason that nothing of this sort was ex pected to happen. yhen they had their warn " ing, the American policy makers acted with conspicu ous good judgment, not to mention speed &nd courage. But before the warning was provided by that U-2 flight on Oct. 14, the policy-makers had judged the problem quite wrongly. While maintaining surveillance as a needed check, the U. S. government was in fact operating on the assumption that the Soviets would emplace no offensive missiles in Cuba. This misjudgment, it must be added, was identical in all but one respect with the Eisenhower administration's judgment of the problem of the missile gap. The same parts of the gov ernment machine worked in the same manner. In large measure, the same individuals contributed to the underlying papers. In both cases, the judgment was reached that the Soviets would NOT do something that might be very damaging to the U. S. rpHIS reporter pointed out during the missile gap de bate that it was simply play ing Russian roulette with the national future, to base na tional policy on a mere judg ment that the Soviets would not do something well with in their capabilities, which could be hideously damaging. In that case, for reasons which are still mysterious, the Soviets did not order early mass production of their long range missiles, and they therefore failed lo achieve the overwhelming nuclear-strategic advantage that was clear ly within their grasp. In the Cuban case, the Kremlin tried to remedy this past ter ror by a desperate trick. In the first case, the American policy-makers were quite correct, thank God, about what the Soviets would not do. In the second case, the American policy-makers were quite incorrect, but were warned, thank God. in good lime. In both cases, however, it is now recognized that an error nf principle was com mitted. ...

Bui here, (or the moment, along the shores nf Chesapeake Bay, 1 am In Kdrn's blessed center, worth a notice before the creeping poison penetrate this far. The Eastern Shore nf Ihe Bay has been off ihe beaten, ravaged path of the autonio- hile hordes and the gaseous factories. In summer these lowlands of field and wood and marsh are stilled, bees drone in the hot sunlight and the odor of honeysuckle hangs in the air. Life and men move as slowly a they must have done before the Civil War. Right now the maples and the red oak provide the color s inp linns I vi i il kk ; "u brown. The air is sharp The small boats and the nets are busy and refrigerators are filling up with Chinrnteague ' pvs'rr and soft shell erahs bilities. Russian roulette, in fact, will no longer be played. If this good resolution is adhered to, it will amount to a considerable change In the' established procedures of American policy-making. Be hind the procedural change, there lies the change of view point above-referred to. Perhaps the best way to de fine the change in the policy makers' viewpoint is to have a look at the sources of their original incorrect judgment. There were two main sources. First of all, the Soviets were not expected to emplace of fensive missiles in Cuba, be cause they had never before sent weapons of this type be yond their own borders. Second, this negative prece dent was given undue weight for a more subtle reason. In brief, the craft, or science, of Soviet demonology originated in the period before the Sec ond World War, when the So viet armed forces were rather weak militarily and quite im potent politically because of Stalin's terror. The ideas formed In that period still color much demonological thinking today. I TNTIL very recently, for example, it was a favorite tenet of almost all profession al demonologists that the So viet armed forces played no role in Kremlin infighting and policy . debate. Contrary evidence has been accumulat ing for a long time. But even today the important internal influence of the Soviet mar shals and colonel-generals is only admitted with some re luctance by a minority of the experts. Again, il used to be held that Soviet communism was a "political and not a mili tary movement." Political rather than military-strategic considerations were therefore supposed to predominate in the Kremlin. This demono logical theory, of course, tend ed to rule out what the So viets did in Cuba which was to take a gigantic political risk in the hope of making a major military-strategic gain. The American policy-makers' viewpoint has altered, be cause the military bias of the Kremlin and its susceptibility tn military influence are now clearly understood.

But the overwhelming probability in mis columnists opinion, after some searching around into the matter, is that in no impor tant particular will it be much different in attitude from the old Congress. If anything, it is likely to be a touch more modcrate-to-conscrvative. It is a safe prediction, not withstanding much excited comment about the great things that would be produced by the recent election, that the position will be expressed in an old saying: the more things change, the more they are the same. rPHE House, with 258 Demo crats, 176 Republicans and one present vacancy, will be a shade more nearly Republi can than before. The Senate, with 68 Democrats and 32 Re publicans, will be a shade more Democratic. There is. however, a good deal less in these labels than meets the eye. For the sole issue in the new Congress, as in the old, is not so much how many members are Democrats and Republicans as what kind of Democrats and Republicans they arc. Will there be many more Democrats ready to approve such of President Kennedy's domestic welfare program as compulsory medical care to the aged and urban renewal? The answer, almost certainly, is no. Will there be fewer Re publicans prepared to follow the President's essential lead dership in world affairs? The answer, again, is almost cer tainly no.

White and a very considerable num- bcr of the Republicans, wer always willing to back tht President abroad. They wer willing to back him at home, too, on about everything he asked which did not involv reformist innovations in a dangerous world. A LL through the new Con " gross, assuming the Presi dent makes no major errors in world affairs and retains his present rationally firm line in the Cold War, it will be, as to foreign policy, the same story. And by every present sign all through the new Congress he will have frcat, and prob ably insurmountable, diffi culty in persuading Capitol Hill to give him those items -urban renewal, medical care, and so on - which may or may not be academically desirabl but are patently not very pressing in a world of foreign pern. The very first of the newly elected Democratic Senator to arrive here, Birch Bayh of Indiana and Thomas Mclntyrs of New Hampshire, struck heavy blows to reformist hopes. Both said in substanc that they had not come her to cast automatic votes for any and all of the President's bills. What they mean lo do is what practically all the old Democratic Senators havs done - support the President when they believe him right and oppose him when they be lieve him wrong. rpHE expression of these nat ural and entirely sensibl sentiments was, of course, wholly predictable except to those who had convinced themselves, against history and reason, that because lh election had returned morn Democrats to the Senate it necessarily had returned morn who would necessarily favor any and all of the President ! ideas. What really happened In the election merely confirmed the long obvious fact that this country is far more concerned with its safely in the long world crisis than in tinkering wilh welfare schemes which are not very relevant to th era in which we live. There is no evidence what ever that such issues as "ur ban renewal" and "medicare" had much to do with it, on way or another. The peopl want national safely more than slum clearance; they want sustained care for this nation's survival more than guaranteed medical rare for the old folks.
