Recent advertisement placed by Peirce-Warwick Adoption Service of Washington Home for Foundlings. The advertisement above was directed specif ically to couples interested in obtaining Negro, Puerto Rican and Mexican children the least wanted among youngsters offered for adoption But it is symptomatic of a little recognized revO' lution in this field. Even the supply of adoption is being offered 10 couples once waited available for adoption, fewer wait today. How many fewer is not yet clear. The U.S. Children's Bureau recently awarded a $12,000 research grant to the Child Welfare League of America to find out why the number of applicants for adop tive children is declining. The greater availability of such children is illustrated by changed conditions in the nation's capital area. Prospective waited from one to three agency began its study to applicants were suitable. ranges from two weeks ESTIMATES by the that adoption petitions were granted for 113,000 children in the United States last year, up six per cent from the 107,000 in 1960. The number of adoptions may rise again in 19G2, but the federal agency is receiving a mounting num ber of reports from adoption agencies in various parts of the country that they are seeing a decline in the number of applications from couples want ing to adopt children. This means shorter waiting periods and perhaps an end to the exploitive "gray" and "black" markets in babies. But the unfortunate side of the decline is that it may mean more and more "permanent" foster care for many children especially those who are older or are members of minority groups. Behind the chanennir rate of the depression years. It now shows up in a declining number of couples in the 25-35 age span that agencies consider best suited ior start ing a family. Moreover, there is a significant drop in infertility, due to improved medical know ledge and treatment. And more young unwed mothers are willing to give up their children for adoption. , THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU last July issued a recommendation that adoption agencies re examine their practices "to ensure that children are not kept out of adoptive homes because of rigid policies that ought lght of the new trend. to be disappointed couples. One professional worker in the field has said that the yardstick for mains Will they make as "poor reasons" for wanting to adopt babies are because everyone else has fashion, wanting a child riage, wanting to do penance for some hidden guilt by adopting a poor unfortunate. Tinka D. Engel, in a ject, declared: "A good have an extra dimension. He must be able to ac cept that the child was born to someone else, and tolerate the often painful but inalterable facts of his heredity and background." E.R.R. Break for Travelers The cost of living may be going up, but the cost of traveling went down last Friday for all passengers on inter-city bus lines anil airlines, and for many railroad passengers as well. At mid night on the 15th, the 10 per cent federal travel tax expired on bus and railroad tickets, anil dropped to 5 per cent on airline tickets. Twenty-three Eastern railroads those oper ating north of the Ohio River from Chicago to the Atlantic plan to pocket the tax saving by raising fares 10 per cent on the same day the fed eral excise tax expires. Applications before the Interstate Commerce Commission for the increase probably will be approved because of the Eastern roads' unfavorable financial situation. Passengers on roads operating in other sections of the coun try should save !?;i0 million annually because of lower fares.

There is some surprise that, except for Eastern railroads, the airlines, railroads and bus lines have decided to pass on the savings to patrons. Not one major rail carrier showed a profit on its passenger traffic last year, ami the airlines are in a shaky financial position duo to overcapacity and unwise scheduling dictated by competition.

Sportsmanship To the Editor: Well, two tough games down and one to go to State!! Everyone knows, and school spirit is high. You'd think, by the carrying on, that every person in Medford had fought in every game. This is where we're wronr;! Every person can't take credit for the winning of these games. Only those who got out on the field. Of course, scnool enthusiasm must be consid ered, but all we can take full credit for is our school s sportsmanship name. I was at the game at Grants Pass and the one Friday night. Now let me make a compari son. At Grants Pass, Medford seemed to get penalties right and left. Of course, with all the tension brought about by the first touchdown, there seemed to be more than there actually were. But, after each penalty, Medford came in, right on cue, with a big loud "Boo-ing Yell." (The Medford section that is.) Well, Medford achieved victory, and a hard fought victory it was. One thing I especially noticed aft erwards was the way in which Grants Pass took their loss. They were happy for us! Of course they would have been a lot happier had they been the victor. It's really hard to take a loss in any sport, but they were terribly nice about the way they did it. I was really glad to know that it was possible to take loss gracefully. I suppose to Roseburg, Fri day, it seemed as though they received quite a number of penalties. And they showed their disapproval just as we did with a big loud "Boo ing Yell." Only then it was different story. The kids around me just couldn't be lieve that anyone could pos sibly be boo-ing at US! Well, they were and they didn t seem to be ashamed in the least. Just as we didn't seem to be ashamed at Grants Pass. I'm afraid that when it comes to conceit, we take the cake. I do wish that the kids would realize that we are the ones who give other schools their ideas about us. We are the ones who give them the big wild stories about our poor sportsmanship. We arc good sportsmen. 1 just wish we could prove it by leaving out the boo-ing. I don't know of a single time when any amount of boo-ing changed the call of an um pire. Never! Come on, kids, let's save our voices for the praise of our great football team! Terry Birmun 03 King St. Medford. Goodness of Heart To the Editor: Not wanting to be repetitious in this so- appreciated column, let me re state my firm conviction that goodness of heart still reigns in the majority of mankind, editors included. For there it was, generously sprend over Pane 2 of Tuesday's M.iil Tribune, a heart wanning message to all advocates of fair-play, a word picture of the public's immediate defense of Richard Nixon; the oppo sition leaping savagely on lum when down in bitter defeat ot Ins bid for California governor.

MEDFORD, grcssman Nixon alone stood up to the red-herring slurs hurled at him, to bring their fair-haired double-crosser to court, conviction and jail. Had we more Richard Nix ons, there would surely not be entrenched at our very door-step our avowed enemy, the bloody-clawed bear that walks like a man. Had we more Richard Nixons who could have been entrusted with presiding at presiden tial cabinet meetings and oth er duties in the president's absence as Vice President Nixon did and no other vice president ever did before or since, our survival as a na tion of free men might well be more sure and enduring. In all my more than three score and ten years of on the ground observation, perusal of the American press and word-of-mouth, including ra dio and TV, no nook or cran ny memory can match that on Page 2 of our Mail Trib une, in depicting the moral breakdown in our political scene. But despite that, I still believe goodness of heart reigns in the majority of man kind, including editors. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore. Read the Constitution To the Editor: Mr. Powell seems quite preoccupied with states' rights - as do so many segregationists, unproportion ately so. I think that there is a sudden contradiction be tween Mr, Powell's last letter and his most recent one. To take up his last point first, I believe it would be ob vious to Mr. Powell even that Communist propaganda based on racial tensions would be ineffective if racial tension it self weren't propagated by precisely the type of thinking put forth by himself. And if this is what those like Mr. Powell fear, why then do they not fight Communism, instead of providing the very dissen sion fed upon by Communism? As for God s will, I could find nothing in the Bible that for bids treating the dark-skinned person as equal. I found quite a lot, though, about treating others as our brothers - and no place did it except the Ne gro from this. Secondly, this is not a bat tle for states' rights, no more than it is really a battle against Communism. Nor was the use of force by the federal government, though unfortun ate in that it was necessary, out of line. The Constitution and the law were violated by the state of Mississippi and its officers: and in order to in sure that the law and the Con stitution would be obeyed, po lice force, in the form of the United Slates Army, had to be used. Waiting for a Su preme Court decision would have been like waiting for a jury to declare a man guilty before arresting him. 1 cannot believe that insur ing a minority of the same rights us the majority can de prive us all of those rights. In fact, it can only more firmly establish these rights for us all. They truly are our birth right, as Mr. Powell said-our reward fur living in America Hut rend the Constitution, es- penally Amendments IX and XIV. Part 1. and Article V. Part 2. Try to quote any pnrt of the Constitution about states' ruhts beside these, and "states' rights" loses the em ph.nis accorded it by sesrega tionists. It shows up as Just exactly what it is - an excuse for bigotry. Mr. Powell cannot speak of slates' rights when states' lights deprive persons of their rUhts as individuals the very thing the Constitution w a s formulated to protect. He can nut speak of brute force when rioters destroy property and injure others. Moreover, he OREGON Foreign News: Chinese Seek Allies in Red Schism; Market By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Notes from the foreign news cables: Red Schism East European diplomatic sources in Tokyo said the word from Peking is that Communist China is toying with the idea of creating a sort of "bu reau of infor mation" link ing advocates of its "hard line" Commu nism.

Medford Able Hands To the Editor: Re Kennedy's recent decision on Cuba: The Communists are constantly throwing out feelers to test the mettle of our government. The Cuban incident in the West, the Chinese-Indian war in the East, the Berlin flare, in between, is perennial. Mr. Kennedy is being se verely criticized by some peo ple, but one may be sure that his decision on Cuba was made in council with the numerous men, cabinet members and others, with whom he holds council.

Rates and Taxes To the Editor: In the Nov, 13 issue of the Mail Tribune a statement by Mr. Frank Bash, the increase in property tax to be paid by the Pacific Power & Light company. Very seldom a company of this type is in existence this day and age. Where the mon ey comes from to pay this increase in property tax was never mentioned. However, it is very obvious a company of this size paying so much tax is without an income. This is something the people of Ore gon and portions of other slates in which the aforesaid company exists the propor- In the Day's News By FKANK We read in the papers thatnancial) year that began on a conference of 170 industry union and civic leaders, called to Washington recently, has overwhelmingly endorsed President Kennedy's proposal for a quick and substantial tax reduction perhaps as much at TEN BILLION dollars. The majority conclusion was that the cut should be permanent, and should emphasize lower personal income tax rates, with corporate rate reductions on a smaller scale. All but a handful of the par ticipants are said to have felt that tax reduction in 1963 is the proper policy to stir the sluggishly rising rate of na tional output. Few raised the objection heard from some members of congress that a tax cut would WORSEN an already serious federal deficit, estimated at $7.8 billion in this fiscal year. ELL Goodness knows we need lower taxes. I think ev eryone will agree with that especially along about this time of the year when We arc all trying to figure out how we can pay Uncle his shire and at the same time have enough left to buv a reason- i able number of Christmas re- memhrances. It must be conceded that lower tax rates MIGHT pro duce a higher total volume of tax money by stimulating . business to greater activity in i the hope of greater profits made possible by the fact that ; less cash will be drained away j by a too-high tax rate. j SO FAR. But 1 so good. let's take a look now at some figures that have come to light. They are inter- cjting. but at the same time they are somewhat terrifying. The Bureau of the Budiet estimates that in the fiscal tfi - in serious trouble and the chances for Britain's early en try into the European eco nomic community do not look too good. There has been a Drummond Reports (Wilter Lippmann is in Europe. Roscoe Drummond reports from Washington In his ibstnce.) (c) 1962 New York Henld Tribune Inc. WHAT GOES ON HERE? Washington - Almost un noticed in the anxious preoc cupation with the Soviet arms build-up in Cuba, the Red Chinese thrust into India, ana Khrushchev's next move on Berlin, is a menacing Egyp tian invasion of Yemen, which the free world had better wake up to before it is too late. Already some 10,000 to 11, 000 Egyptian troops, including two air borne battalions, bombers, and naval units, are inside Yemenite territory, fighting Yemenite tribesmen who are resisting the recent military coup which Mr. Nas ser so eagerly wants to im pose upon them. Clearly, the Egyptians, whose invading troops repre sent half the military forces seeking to prop up the coup, are acting to take over this little backward kingdom's civil war exactly as the Nazis and the Communists sought to take over the Spanish Repub- tionate increase in property taxes after the merger of the California Oregon Power com pany and Pacific Power & Light company. However it is quite obvious the Pacific Pow er & Light company is not going to continue in existence without an increase in the price of electric service. Every year a two week va cation is in existence for near ly every user of electricity served and sold by said com nanv however there is very little difference in the month ly statement many times the period in wnicn tne vaca tion exists the figures on the statement are greater than otherwise. Anyone want to in spect the books? Now that the increased property tax statement has been revealed would it be proper to reveal the increase in the number of establish ments and residents in t h e same period along with the potential increase in service by the Pacific Power & Light company? It is quite obvious a company of this size and type is bound to have some sort of income. What is your nninion? The general public which is served by the Pacific Pow er & Light company never has an increase in taxes. It quite obvious the general pub lic is saving more money on ioc parnines every year. Ev ery increase in earnings the general public has been grant ed the prices oi iooa, ia, utilities have been raised to defeat the purpose. Glen D. Oppie 1642 Ridgeway Medford. JENKINS July 1 revenues will come to a total of $85.9 billion $7.1 billion LOWER than the level foreseen when President Ken nedy first sent the budget to congress last January. At the same time, record peacetime SPENDING of S93.7 billion was predicted by the Budget Bureau. That is $1.2 billion HIGHER than the January forecast. Rather are still figured at $48.3 billion. The estimated up in expen ditures is all due to increased CIVILIAN spending. What it all boils down to is that the current fiscal year will wind up with the second biggest peacetime deficit in our his tory a whopping $7.8 bil lioin to be put on the cuff to be added to the $300 billion already written there. 4 LL this, let us add, at A time when we face ticklish world situation that may at any moment call for GREATLY EXPANDED mili tary (defense) spending. QUESTIO What ESTION: t Is happening In this once fiscally sane nation of ours? TT'S HARD to say. But a hint San Bernardino, down in Southern California, where some time back sheriff's vice and narcotics officers raided an Indian hogan made of rail road ties near the Mojave Des ort town of Needles. They said they found 30 people in various stages of a stupor they claim was induced by chewing buttons of peyote. j a tiny cactus known among , American Indians since pre Columbian times as a produc- er of HALLUCINATIONS ; Do you reckon our Wash-! i inston spenders could have I jbeen chewing pevotc buttons?1 Enlargement Fading marked stiffening by France and some of the other member nations, and barring a consid erable switch in attitude it may prove impossible for lie's fight for survival. THE tactic is familiar. The obiective is menacing. The tactic of Mr. Nasser is to seize control of the Yemen civil strife by the very weight of Egyptian arms in order to impose the coup upon tne op posing tribesmen. Cairo hails all this as a "new stage in the Arab liber ation movement"; that is, lib erating the people of Yemen against their will from their own independence! At first, some weeks ago, the events in Yemen appeared to be a simple struggle of an "enlightened" group of mili tary leaders to overthrow a medieval and repressive re gime. But the coup, apparent ly successful in the beginning, failed in its effort to kill the young Imam. It has sputtered and stalled. Today it controls three small cities and the access roads to them. Barely 10 per cent of the Yemenite population live in the towns where the main support of the coup is pre sumed to lie. The majority of the 5,000,000 tribesmen in the countryside are Z e i d i Moslems to whom the Imam is the expression of God's will. They are not taking kindly to Nasser's will - or his troops. It is Egypt's mas sive intervention which in vests these developments with menacing implications. THE implications are these: 1-Their internal social and economic order should be a matter for the Yemenis who should certainly be free to undertake far-reaching re forms so urgently needed without loss of their national independence. This is that very premise of the UN pres ence in the Congo - to pre vent the young, fragile nation from being destroyed by out side intervention. It is equally applicable to Yemen. 2- The Egyptian interven tion in Yemen, which has now reached the dimension of a full-scale invasion, is not serv ing to help a popularly-based new order through its first days. Rather, it is serving to impose a regime which has not earned popular support and which is being resisted by most of the Yemenite pooula tion. 3- If the Egyptian intrusion into Yemen is to be accepted as a precedent, then any small rebel group in Arab countries that refuse to bow to Nasser's claim of hegemony in the Arab world may now be en couraged to proclaim itself a revolutionary government in the hope that Egypt will sup ply the troops to put it in power or keep it in power. In itself this is a menacing in vasion under the fictitious guise of "liberation," and it contains a dangerous poten tial. Under such a precedent Mr. Nasser would no longer need to content himself with the more conventional subver sive tactics, but could provoke easy pretexts for military takeovers. 4-The events in Yemen are a threat to the very delicate equilibrium in Arab Middle East and hold a particular peril to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and other independent Arab countries. Tliis is the road to an ex panding Egyptian imperial ism. If the United Nations is go ing to stand against imperial ism, then all its members -neutral and committed alike better take a clear look at what's happening in Yemen.

Peace Offensive Observers in Moscow loolc for an acceleration of the So viet peace offensive in con junction with the Communist Party Central committee meet ing under way in the Soviet capital city. They noted that the expected end of the Soviet atomic bomb tests Tuesday could open a drive for conclu sion of a test ban treaty, but there has been no indication yet that Moscow had changed its opposition to on-site in spection. The observers also said tha reopening of the 17-nation dis armament conference in Gene va next week also should bring an upsurge of propaganda pressure on the question of U. S. military bases abroad.

When I oppose a certain measure, I refer to it as an act of the "administration"; but when I support it, I call it an act of the "government.'
