Cross-Country Visit The hospitality of New Englanders and mid westerns with whom local school board members and educators came in contact on a two-week trip recently can best be described as an "open door" policy. Busy people took time out of crowded sched ules to talk with members of the Southern Ore gon group; they rearranged their schedules at the schools to fit the group s needs and desires, as a group or for individual members; and they even took precious time to entertain the Uregon ians at dinners. The traditional reserve of the New Englander certainly wasn't present, and the mid-western inendliness was certainly that in the Chicago and Mcrherson, Kans., areas. AAHhKkvhK the party went, the group was expected, someone was waiting to meet them, and the reception was marvelous, despite the fact the group of Oregonians had expanded from a visitation party to what Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield at one time referred to as an "invasion party." (Twenty-three people were in the east visiting schools.) The Salina, Kans., Elks club opened its doors when the group returned from McPherson. There, on a Saturday morning, school officials were waiting, they conducted guided tours of the par tially completed building of unusual construction, and took time out to review the history and pro gram of the new school. In Salina, the group did, somewhat democrat ically, vote against eating in an establishment recommended by a local citizen. I he Llks club turned out to be a pleasant experience of dining and relaxation. 1MEDILL BAIR, superintendent of Lexington, Mass., schools, had the party out to his house the evening of arrival for one of his "spe cialty dinners." We didn't attend because of a previous family dinner engagement, but we un derstand it was a most entertaining evening. In Norwalk, prior to a dinner at the Silver mine Tavern, hois d'oeuvres were served at the home of Dr. Harry Becker, where Oregonians mingled with school board members and admin istrators from Norwalk. It was here we had a charming chat with Mrs. Justin Glickson, wife of a school board member. We reminisced about the Smith college campus, discussed education, past, present and future, and how a New Englander gets transplanted in Oregon. TTHE Silvcrmine Tavern is a large, rambling colonial inn. It has several nooks, crannies and gift shops, and overlooks a mill pond. Some of its floors are wood, some are brick; some of its nooks and crannies are open-partitioned type rooms, giving the impression that separate din ing areas have been added as needed. It is the kind of a place where historically minded people could mult into the annals of the past and relive the days of the early New Eng lander. It was in one of these crannies, with the warmth of a good blaze in the fireplace, that edu cators enjoyed a delicious smorgasbord dinner. Majority Of One Washington Report By William S.

Germany's Free Press Finds Its Voice In Der Spiegel' Affair; Premier Hit li & 1 1 . I By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyst London -WD- Neither inter national nor internal pres sures are new to "Der Alte," West G e r- manv's aeinir PV&tH Chan c e 1 I n r I. 1 ''& Konrad Ade nauer. For F more than a year, members of h i s party, the Christian Dem o c r a t s, f . , t: dllU Ills cuau. tion partners, Newiom the Free Democrats of Erich Mende, had been demanding he set a date for his retire ment and to name his suc cessor. But it is safe to say that not even the shrewd Adenauer anticipated the latest storm that almost blew his govern ment out of office, nor the di rection from which it would come. This was the "Der Spiegel case." In four visits to Germany since 1958, this correspondent never has seen the West Ger man republic torn by such a Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris c Field Enterprisea Inc. wave of national emotional ism. Der Spiegel (The Mirror) is a national news magazine whose hard - hitting columns frequently have irked both the chancellor and his con troversial defense minister, Franz-Josef Strauss. The attitude of "let the chips fall where they may" has at various times led the magazine to be critical of both East and West. Lawsuits against the magazine had been brought by both Adenauer and Strauss, unsuccessfully. Before his own part in the midnight arrests of Der Spiegel's editors became known, Strauss made no at tempt to hide his pleasure that charges of suspicion of trea son against them appeared likely finally to bring the pub lication to heel. Then came the reaction. German readers made no at tempt to prejudge the case of treason. But they objected strenuously to the midnight knock-on-the-door manner in which the arrests were car ried out. Hamburg newspapers with no special reason to love Der Spiegel offered the magazine use of their printing presses and office space. Adenauer's television expla nation that the arrests were made on "urgent suspicion of a crime" failed to satisfy ei ther readers or editors. A free press is comparative ly new to Germany. Men pri marily responsible for it were the American occupation com manders who took over right after the war.. Among them was Gen. Lucius Clay who re calls that he had to urge Ger man reporters to ask ques tions. Now that the Germans hava it, their latest reaction shows they won't give it up easily.

At this moinent-10:27 a.m.-there hasn't been even a major plane crash anywhere in the world. So far, the Bearded One in Cuba hasn't blown his top. It is indeed a quiet day. Would that there might be more of them. Big news tends to be BAD news. TIE WAS a poor caricature of a Kipling poem - a Tommy Atkins who was al ways oiillhought and outmod ed, and also often out of mind. But in the afterlight of that Cuban crisis it has be come clear beyond dispute that (he ultimate factor in bringing this counti. through with both safety and honor Intact was not "negotiation," however able or determined. It was the iron fact that the military power of the " nited States was too great, too skill ed and too devoted for Soviet challenge. In that brief and terrible episode, we have found that we owe to our armed forces -including a patient Pentagon chivved and driven but also molded and strengthened by a nonpolitieal defense secre tary, Robert McNamara - per haps more than anj people has owed since the di l in curred by so many lo so few in the battle of Britain. dent lielv talks Na y moment, Presi- Konnoi'y, has just puh recognied in grateful to the men of Armv, Force and Marino Air A ND it was here too, that in the midst of this fine Connecticut prepared dinner, a pleasant little touch of the deep south, Mrs. Sadye Hahn of Winnfield, La., talked about southern fried chicken, hominy grits, other delicacies found chiefly in the southern states, and specialty dishes of the many New Orleans eating establishments.

In the Chicago area, the party picked up a "temporary leader" en route to Kvanston, a leader of fine stature, who was proudly cooperative in assisting the party to its destination. In Chicago Heights, a larger-than-expectcd number arrived to visit Kloom Township High school. Undaunted by numbers, the superintend ent, who approached the party just as the group's regular "leader" was ready to send up smoke signals, called the school for another car. TNI IS was typical of the hospitality encountered by the local group. It was encouraging, and it brought out the fact that people, after all, are interested in other people, their ideas, their be liefs and their problems. Educators in Massachusettes, Connecticut, Illinois and Kansas went out of their way to pro vide information for the visitors; they gave di rections, provided transportation, and wanted to share what they knew, ami learn what they could. They were impressed with the Oregon delega- (I.. ;,1, l... ...1:1 . i- i i . i. i nun, mm iiic i.uimt' m iuiii ntuai who maue up the group, with the cross-section of people involved or interested in education, ami with I the enthusiastic approach of the visitors. i It was an experience of meetinc lone-time' ! friends whom vim had never met before. j The second group of educatois, board mem-: hers, representatives of Southern Oregon college,! and the state department of education will leave j on Sunday tor another visitation trip to the San Francisco area.

From Sacramento comes word that California has passed New York to become the most populous state in the nation. The figures, prepared by the population studies sec lion of the California depart ment oi finance, show that California has a population of 17,336,423, while New York is nearly 7,000 lower with 17.320,543. How did they get the fig ures? Governor Brown says tne claim is supported by slide rules, computers and DETER MINED STATISTICIANS. Anyway, New York hasn't yet disputed them. yilAT will be the next big ' race? Here's a guess: It will be to determine which state first reaches the point of standing room only. IORE about population: The Bureau of the Cen sus reports that a check of population growth from April 1, 111(10, to July 1. I!)(i2. shows that top honors for the fastest growing slates go lo Nevada, Arizona and WYOMING, in the order named. Nevada, dur ing this period, gained 17.3 per cent, Arizona 15.9 per cent and Wyoming 10.7 per cent. What about Oregon? Well, the Census Bureau says that in the period from April. llltiO. to July. 1IIHL'. Ore gon gained 5 4 per cent. Wash ington 5 4 per cent. Alaska 8.7 per cent and Hawaii 9.5 per cent. The Census Bureau adds that ils check shows that ALL the states except West Virginia gain e cl population during the check period. NE more question: " ' How did they get the figures?

We desperate ly require, I ed, a new ap- Harris basic ques tions of peace and national survival. What I was trying to ex press has been so admirably and succinctly said by a dis tinguished scientist that I think his words (lost in the welter of news) deserve the widest recirculation and the deepest study. Speaking at the first nation, al conference of the Congress of scientists on Survival, Dr. Albert Szent - Gyorgyi, the great biochemist who won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1937, told his learned audi ence: ... "The existence of man kind is already dependent on correct functioning of countless hands and but tons, while both humans and machines are known to err which makes our own bombs into a threat to our existence equal lo the bombs of our adversaries. Never has politics gambled so irresponsibly before with the very existence of man kind . . . "Science tells us lhat if we have such a problem, we must approach it as such, collect the data, then try lo fit them together and find the best solution, with a neutral mind, a cool head, unbiased by short-range in terest or sentiments like fear and hatred. "If politicians could ap proach the great interna tional problems with this spirit." he continued, "in stead of dealing from a nar row nationalistic angle, with one eye on propagan da, trying to gel tit for tat or lor nothing, wt might get on the good road . . . "If we still have the cave man's mentality and cannot change it," he concluded, "then perhaps wt could avoid catastrophe if we could only understand one thing, and this is that science has abolished dis lance, and wt art all living in one cave now, which is our little shrunken globe on which thert is place for one family only, the family of man: and wt may at least gain time by simply fixing up a note: Playing with atomic bombs in this cava is strictly forbidden." It is a most curious and per tent ions paradox, as Dr. Gy orgyi observes, that the course of science seems to be a cir cular one. unless we can con trol it that we may indeed return to the caves from which we came Desoite the immense population of the world, man kind is now- a small tnhe. for we h.ive the power to kill our selves off with a speed and ferocity hardly imaginable in the past.

Civilization's Decay To the Editor: If men ma- liciously take another's horses they re horsethieves, society disgraced, criminals often hung by the neck until dead. If men burn their own or another's barn they're arson ists, punishable by law. If men acquire millions of acres of public forest lands by bribing U. S. Congressional lawmakers, U. S. Land Office appointees, courts, they're shrewd businessmen, citizen leaders by statute of limita tions, immune from prosecu tion. If they decide not to pay timber taxes, decide all by themselves that "it won't be worth anything 20 years hence," decide to cut a few best logs from a few best trees, burn all else as slashing that's legal. That's what they did: Mil lions of "God's Temples," mil lions of birds, animals, fish and other life perished; streams and lakes dried up: floods, droughts, deserts, fam ines, followed. Timber tycoons squeezed, are squeezing small er operators out. More than 200 reported closed the past few months. At Bradford, Ore., one of several operations by one company, joined in September the thousands of lumber ghost towns from the Great Lake stales' shambled forests and scorched earth to the Pacific. The tycoons own and con trol the largest lumber oper ations in both U. S. and Can- monicas. We'd usually end by taking turns reading the Trib une or watching T.V.

I've never been much for going visiting, but we were good back fence speakers. Now I find that all this time we had the best neighbors in the whole wide world. I want to thank them and all who sent these hundreds of cards, letters, plants and other tokens of friendship and good will. I love you sincere ly. I can't cry for John. He has been ill for three years, but too gritty to give up. He had a sincere faith in God, and is now having a well earned rest after 40 years of painting in and around Medford. I haven't decided yet what I shall do. I've had several offers of homes, but I think I'd rather carry on among my flowers if I get so I can walk. I've been using Dr. Frank Roberts' book of poems for an overhead table, and now I am going to finish reading it be fore I hear "Lights out." I shall read 'em all over again tomorrow for they hold such beautiful thoughts of just everything in life worthwhile.

Prov. 26-3 "A whip for a horse, a bridle for an ass, and a rod for the fool's back." (Since whip and rod are in this same verse, so rod can not mean a whipping.)
