I NOVEMBER 28. 1982 Ecumenicity It probably will be years before the full sig nificance and importance of the current Vatican Ecumenical Council can be assessed. It could result in a historic shift in the atti tudes and directions of the Roman Catholic church, or, conceivably, it could fail to achieve anything; of substance. The intricacies of the parliamentary maneu vering and the subtleties of doctrinal debates escape us. They are not being probably cannot be reported in perspective in the daily press. And even the magazines devoted to such matters will have to wait weeks, months or years before a verdict can be placed on the Council. DUT one thing can be said on the basis of those reports we do receive. The church is far, far less monolithic than most non-Catholics have been led to believe over the years. There is room within the church, as the debates have shown, for a considerable di versity of opinion, even on doctrinal and dog matic matters. There are even "parties" within the church not in the sense that we think of political par ties, but groupings of church fathers who see eye-to-eye on certain subjects, and in opposition to the views of other groups within the hierachy. IT IS not as widely known in this country as it Blmiilrl ho tVinf- Amnripan Pnt-Vinli'plcm i in many respects, quite different from the Catholi cism one finds in Latin America, for instance, or in Ireland, or in France. The church, while subscribing to the same ultimate governance, takes on certain colorations from the lands in which customs and attitudes are and in her congregations. The Roman Catholic fact, is probably the most heterogeneous in the world, embracing, as it does, nuclear physicists and illiterate Brazilian logians and anti-clencal religious and sophisticated politicians, and kings, clowns and fools. "THERE is still in this country, probably more than in older lands, a deep strain of anti Catholicism stemming from the bitternesses of the Reformation. It is found not infrequently in Medford, as a matter of fact. The election of John F. Kennedy as President of the United States probably did as much as any single thing to temper this attitude, which in its more virulent forms is nothing short of bigotry. The Ecumenical Council may provide further stimulus for the modification of anti-Catholic emotions and attitudes. "T'HE church changes slowly, but it does change. No lonerer are Savonarolas or Inquisitions sanctioned by the Vatican, and even the religious persecutions in some Catholic countries are be coming less frequent and loss bitter. Inter-faith friction in exists, but it is mostly rather sub-rosa, lacking the "respectability" once accorded it in many pre dominantly Protestant communities. Religious wars, thank past, and the bitter legacy they left to western civilization is, slowly but surely, coming to an end. TE ARE doubtful that " cil will lead to anv inter-church unity. Rut it is entirely possible that it will broaden the understanding and respect ac corded by those of one faith (or none) to those of another. It has long been our belief that one of Amer ica's strengths was her Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of religion, and the vast and chal lenging diversity of faith Americans can and do enjoy. Increasingly, the American Catholic church has come to recognize and respect this freedom, for it is only with such freedom that a minority church, such as the Catholic, can gl ow and pros per. There are strong evidences that this attitude is growing in influence and importance in the Vatican, also. "'E may differ sharply (as we do) with many of the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. One may reject it both as a way of seek ing religious truth, and as an organization in which to participate. One may deplore past tyrannies and failures and excesses. One many disparage the rituals, liturgy, clerical garb and ceremony of Catholicism. One may do all these things, and still know that Catholicism is a positive force for good, both in America and throughout the world, and is he coming more so. If the Ecumenical Council can help drive home this lesson to the non-Catholic peoples of the free world, it will have taken another long stride in the continual search for amity, brother hood and peace among men. "yiUS is the Ecumenicity which is important to the non-Catholic part of the world, and it may have been, at least in part, what Pope .John Will had in mind when he summoned the Council. Intra-church unity is important to the church, but it is inter-church amity which is important to the rest of the world.

Music ai She Ii Spoke To the Editor: in the nine teenth century, Franz Liszt broke piano strings until something had to be done. The concert grand of today solved the problem. The talk after the concert of Nov. 25 will be, "We need a piano." Yes, we need a piano - but first we need a concert hall. Brailowsky came several years ago and ear-dru.ns were in danger. Now we nave heard the orchestration of Jorge Bolet which was be yond description but hard on car-drums. Medford needs a place to hear things - unless we can all conveniently become slightly deaf.

It would be well for all deer hunters and ranchers to write the Game Commission and insist on no more doe tags. I do not hunt any more but would like to sec some deer left for my grandchildren. and not become extinct like our buffalo.

Everett Acklin, Ashland, Ore. Fish and Hook To the Editor: The Game Commission says that they have to raise some more mon ey somehow. I know just how they can get it without rais ing anything, especially fish. A hatchery man told me that it costs $1.50 per fish to put them it: the rivers at 6 inch size. I know a man that raises them to 10 inch size and lets tile public catch them for 50 cents. They cost him about 25 cents. The Game Commis sion should be able to raise them for about 10 cents, a saving of $1.40 per fish. Add ed up against several hun dred thousand fish this makes a pretty slippery sum. I am sure that they could contract the raising of fish at less- than half the cost. There is something fishy about this mess. And 1 wonder how the G C. can worm their w ay off the honk.

MEDFORD. OREGON American To Germans, Despite Lack of BY PHIL NEWSON UPI Foreign Newt Analyst Berlin-A flag flies in front of the home of U. S. Berlin brigade commander Gen. Frederick O. Hartel, com ing down at night and go ing up again in the morn ing. To West Berliners it Is a reassuring symbol and Newiom they watch it closely. If on any day it did not ap pear, panic might ensue. For General Hartel's flag Is one sign of what Is called the American "presence" in Berlin. Matter of Fact By Joseph Aliop lei New York Herald Tribune Syndicate YOO HOOS FROM THE KREMLIN Washington - The wires from Moscow, these days, are burdened with amiable "yoo hoos from a .1.. iii H ramparts, all d e n t K e n- nedy. Accord ing to report, the Presi dent's private letters from VtAJ Nikita S. Aimp K h r u shchev are also full of friendly ex pression. The current Kremlin line was probably best summed up by a long, obviously authorita tive article in the official Izvestia by Nikolai Polyanov. Although Polyanov is the leading Moscow analyst of German affairs, he did not even mention the never-ending Berlin crisis. Instead, he listed other outstanding ques tions, like the nuclear test question, and added: "Probably the world has never been near such an im portant turning point as today. The ending of the Caribbean crisis could also become the beginning of the end of other disputed problems." TN addition to writing to the President, Khrushchev has been dropping the same sort of hint all over Moscow, with his usual elephantine delicacy, both on social occasions and in private talks with Western diplomats. Having caught the muggers before the prepara tions for the mugging were quite complete, in fact, we are now being invited to take lea with them, with the gar rote tactfully hidden under the tea table. In exchanges between na tions, it is almost as foolish to give way to righteous indig nation as to expect enduring gratitude. Therefore, the fact that an exceedingly Machia vellian international mugging Training Plan for Retarded Grows to Regular Program A training and activity pro gram for menially retarded tcenaged children, which started two months ago hy parents of the children with mothers serving as instructors in their homes, already has developed into a regular five day a week project with a volunteer qualified teacher. Through the auxiliary to the Medford post of the American Legion, the classes now are held in the auxiliary room at the Legion hall. I Hours are from 9 a m. to ! noon. I Mrs Clyde Richardson, who j has taught and worked with I retarded children, instructs ; the pupils as a group in crafts 1 and other activities. She j works individually with them in educational subjects. ! Mrs. Hichardson volunteers i her services and mothers still assist in the project, particu ! larly in the transportation, i Four Students In Class i At present, there are four ! students ranging in ace from i 14 to HI years, and it Is ex ' ported that more students will join the group. H is ; hoped that m the fiitur-:- an activity center and school will tie established and eventual ly a workshop where ttie pu ; pils may be Ir.iincd in self - supporting work. The group is now working on Christmas decorations for ; the Kairvicw home for retard ' cd children in Salem. The school is sponsored by ! Ihe Jackson County Associa tion for Retarded Children, which was organized 13 months ago and is headed by Woodrow S:oiih. president. Mrs V. K Waters is chair man of the a-.-oeiation's vo cational leh.itnlit.iiion work. A non-denominational Sun day school cl.tss for retarded tcenaged children of the area is conducted raeh Sund.tv at 9 30 a m in the Medford First Methodist church. .tffctrf tL "3 k ' ri i is.

As a military assignment Berlin is unique. was attempted in Cuba by the Soviets should not debar this country from exchanges with Moscow that promise a useful result. The mugging must be borne in mind, however. So must the fact that the super-Machiavellian cover and decep tion plan led Khrushchev him self to send a grossly, flagrant ly untruthful personal mes sage to the President of the United States. OINCE the 16th century, there has been nothing between chiefs of state quite like this Khrushchev message that the Soviets would never implace in Cuba weapons capable of "reaching American targets." It was sent after work on the Cuban missile bases had al ready started. And the junior Soviet diplomat with New Frontier friends, who was charged with carrying the message, was even required by both Khrushchev and Mikoyan to write the very words in his notebook, in order to make them seem more convincing. It is known that this episode of the false message has left a strong mark on President Kennedy's thinking. This is certainly one of the reasons why there are few signs, in the inner group of American policy-makers, of the extremely woolly response to the happy outcome of the Cuban crisis that is rather widespread else where. As we have just prevented Khrushchev from doing great harm to us, so the woolly argument runs, it is urgent to be very nice to Khrushchev, no doubt as balm for his nat ural feelings of frustration. When simply slated in this manner, the argument an swers itself. HERE is also a more sophis- argument, that we must be nice to Khrushchev, in order to strengthen his hand against the cross, frustrated Stalinists. There is enough in this line of reasoning to justify the attempt that is now going on, to find some formula which can be claimed by the Soviets as a final settlement of the Cuba question, without in cluding the iron-clad "no in vasion" pledge that we can not give without on-site veri fication in Cuba. But even this line of reasoning must be taken with a large grain of salt. In the first place. Khrush - clicv is still, quite evidently. in solid, unchallenged control of affairs in Moscow. In the second and more important place, there is no doubt at all that the Moscow hardliners and warhawks are precisely I tiie people who have been most disconcerted and weak-! ened by the Cuban episode. If the attempted mugging had succeeded, it would have been ; their triumph. Its failure has disproven their central argu-i mcnt. that the United Slates' is weak of arm and will, and j therefore safe to posh around. In this connection, the total ; cessation of the old hard-line talk about Berlin is highly significant. This talk had been getting uglier and uglier. But since the Cuban crisis there has not been a whisper of it. Vpn up all these lions, and the r considcra sult (if the sum is very iiitcrestinng in deed It is not urgent to be nice to Khrushchev. It is not prudent to forget that mes sage to tiie President. It is pe--feetiy idiotic to suppose th.it tiie Soviets w ill nol gouge f our eyes out at Berlin, if and ' when they ever think they can do so with impunity. That is one-half of the sum. j But the other half of the sum j is that the Soviet hardliners ; have undoubtedly been riimin- j ished and discomfited, while the Kremlin's respect for the i United States has been pro- ' portionally increased. These last features of the situation strongly favor East W c-t regotiat' ns alnnit out standing questions, so long a? i!i neco'iatious are entered into with rib damp-handed: eagerness to be "nice." hut j w iih a serious purpose to find j mutually beneficial solutions. ' in Berlin For Americans in Germany it is the most sought-after post because housing and living conditions are the best and be cause Berlin itself is a beauti ful city. Militarily, it is the only American post totally sur rounded by a potential ene my. Since Berlin is deep inside ememy territory and is a key communications center, they do not expect to be attacked with nuclear weapons. The most likely tactic, they believe, would be attack by communist-generated mobs. Strictly Personal By Sydney (ci Field Enterprises. Inc. FOOT-IN-MOUTH What Richard Nixon called his "last press conference" ad mitted him to full membership in the Foot-in- the - Mouth Club, an or gan i z a t i o n com posed of politi c i a n s , generals and titans of fi nance with i m p r e s sive records of Harris verbal absurd ity. The last full-fledged mem ber of the club, as 1 remem ber, was Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, who was President Truman's senior military aide, until in 1951 he turned down an invitation to make a Me morial Day speech in New Jersey, explaining that press ridicule had forced his retire ment from the field of public comment. It is astonishing how one or two injudicious state m e n t s can turn the public sentiment against a man - or, for that matter, against a measure. Mussolini's comment, when his car ran over a child, "What is one life in the affairs of state?," did nothing to en dear him to the world, or to his own people. And America's entrance Into ih first World War was surely quickened by Belhmann Hollweg's char acterization of the treaty guaranteeing Belgian neu trality as "a scrap of pa per." In recent years. Sen. War ren Austin took top honors when, as mediator between the Israelis and the Arabs, he opened a conference by saying, "Now let's all try to settle this matter in a true Christian spirit." Many local politicians are celebrating as life members of the Foot - in - the - Mouth Club. The lata Mayor Kelly of Chicago could usually be depended upon as when, in his nominating speech for a vice - presidential candi date in 1940, he called his nominee "a man who be longs ts no thinking group." Jimmy Walker, when may or of New York, told an in vestigating committee that he was "more or less shock ed" at disclosure that vice squad detectives had framed innocent women for shake downs. This debonair attitude j cost him considerable votes. j More innocent was the gaffe of Mayor Hylan, who when informed of Manhattan's ! "ime wave, said blandly, "The police are fully able In j meet and compete with the j criminals." Blunderer cum laude, though, was a late governor ot Minnesota, who appeared to make a speech to the con victs at Stillwater peniten tiary. "Fellow citizens " he began, and they laughed. "Fellow convicts " he start ed again, and they roared. Try and Stop By BENNETT CERF- rpHE FORMIDABLE wife of a hen-pecked worm told an -L insurance salesman, "Let me be sure if I've got this right.

"Absolute- W ly," the salesman as- ' sured her. "And within even a month? " "Yes, ma m." "And if he dies the day after I sign up?" "Then, madam," said the salesman, snapping shut his briefcase, "I am con fident you'll get the same 50,000 but they won't be dollars; they'll be volts."

THREE OF THE FIVE DIED IN HEAD-ON COLLISIONS. The grim moral: Death lurks on the other side of the center line. T'HAT brings freeways into -" the picture. Oregon's State Highway Commission says they are safer-MUCH safer. Its traffic engineering section keeps a close tab on death and acci dent rates. It has published a 200-page book of accident sta tistics on every section of the Oregon highway system. Tha study cites these figures: In 1961, the accident rata on freeways was .99 per mil lion miles of travel. On non freeways, the accident rato was 5.46 per million miles. Last year, 330 persons were killed in accidents on the Ore gon state highway spstcm-but only 16 of these were on free ways. The report adds: "When you drive on a free way, your chances of having an accident are less than ONE FIFTH as great as on other types of highways." TIIORE interesting lnforma- 111 tion: A report by the Oregon state department of motor ve hicles shows that of the 484 persons killed in ail Oregon auto accidents in lflfil-incluri-ing both state highways and non-state hishways-IRR died in collisions between two cars, and 134 died when cars ran off the road, . rFHE report includes another -"- interesting statistic. It says drivers in 471 of these 484 fatalities were males. That tends to put, a dent in the widely held theory that men are better drivers than women.
