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

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

lower fares.

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!

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

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

men, cabinet members and
others, with whom he holds

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.

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.

little difference in the month

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

still figured at $48.3 billion.
The estimated up in expen

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.

ANTICS WITH SEMANTICS
I am judicious; you are in
decisive; he is wishy-washy.
My candidate has "advis
ers" who "plan his strate
gy"; ihe opposing candidata
has "haichet-men" who "do
his dirty work for him."
My attorney "knows all tha
angles"; yours is a "sharpie";
his is a "shyster."
I was a trifle indiscreet;
you were rather loose-ton-gued;
he was an untrust
worthy blabbermouth.
I am selective in my choica
of friends; you are a bit of a
toady; he is a shameless so
cial climber.
I am patient; you are pas
sive; he is paralyzed.
When other people's chil
dren get into trouble, I blama
their parents; why my own
children commit transgres
sions, I blame it on "evil com
panions." We had a disagreement;
you had a blow-up; they
had a knock-down-and-drag
out fight.
I believe in compromise;
you believe in appeasement;
he believes in surrender.
My rich relative is
"charmingly eccentric," but
my indigent one is "as nut
ty as a fruit cake."
My daughter is something
of a coquette; yours is an
outrageous flirt; his is littlo
better than a tramp.
I am fond of telling
young men that "there is
no substitute for experi
ence' but I am equally
fond of telling older men
thai "what we need are
young ideas and a fresh,
unhackneyed approach io
this problem."
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.'
Likewise, a constitutional de
cision I approve is "the su
preme law of the land." while
one I disapprove is "just an
opinion by five old men, witli
four old men disagreeing."
I confess to being "a crea
ture of habit"; you are set
in your ways; he is abso
lutely immovable.
When my son is involved
with a girl I call it "a harm
less case of puppy - love";
when my daughter is involved
with a boy, I call it "a tragic
and disgusting infatuation."
The difference between a
"convert" and a "renegade"'
depends upon which side
eventually wins the dispute.
