Five Slaps in the Face
When the Medford postmastei'ship became
vacant before the November general election,
Sen. Wayne Morse asked for a recommendation
from the Democratic Central Committee here for
a man to fill the job.
The chairman of the central committee de
cided to appoint a screening committee composed
of six men, most of whom had in the past served
as county chairman; one a former state chair
man. This was approved by the senator and by
the central committee, over the protests of some
members.
The screening committee asked for, and re
ceived, a number of applications. After consid
erable time and study, it narrowed its list of
candidates down to five, all persons who were
fully qualified for the post.
1VIEANWHILE, it became known that Marvin
Madden, the county clerk seeking reelection,
was "available" for the job, though not, in his
own words, an "active candidate." Nor had he
submitted an application.
There was an element in the party wnicn
urged Madden to continue with his election cam
paign, so that the Democrats could "hold on
to the county clerkship. Then, if Madden were
to be named postmaster, the county court would
have to. appoint his successor as clerk, and by
law would have to name a Democrat.
Subsequent to the election, at a central com
mittee meeting, Madden was prominently
boosted for the postmastership, and said later
that he would accept, if named. But he still made
no formal application for the office.
I AST Tuesday night the central committee met
M-4
again. It heard trie
committee, and the names of the five persons
who, having applied,
committee.
But the party's small
and political opportunists decided that the cau
tion and good sense of the committee chairman,
and the hard work of the screening committee,
amounted to nothing.
So they placed in nomination Marvin Mad
den's name, and in a session that was marked
by impassioned speeches and emotional appeals,
finally managed to convince a bare majority
of the 65 committee members attending (of a
potential membership of 246) that they were
light.
"THUS they effectively slapped the faces of:
1. Senator Morse, who had approved the or
derly procedure originally outlined ;
2. The central committee chairman;
3. The screening committee of long-time,
dedicated and loyal party servants;
4. All those, Democrats and Republicans
alike, who had voted in eoocl faith for Marvin
Madden for county clerk, and had every right
to expect him to serve if
5. The 14 Democrats
applied for the job thinking they had some leg
itimate hope ot the appointment, ana, more
specifically, the five who finally were selected
for recommendation.
In doing these things, they have set party
organization and harmony back by ten years.
Senator Morse and Congressman-elect Bob
Duncan should take a long hard look at the re
sults of these political shenanigans before mak
ing a decision on whom they will recommend
to the postal authorities. K. A.
Copy Deadlines
Kvcry once in a while we receive from some
public relations outfit or another a request to
tell them when our "copy deadline" is.
Whenever this happens, we immediately
suspect that whoever sent out the query knows
mighty little about newspaper operations.
We don't have one copy deadline we have a
whole raft of them.
Publishing a newspaper is, in one sense, a
manufacturing process, one which is started from
scratch each day, and it has schedules and dead
lines which must be observed if the production
process is to be orderly and efficient.
"Tile; copy deadline, for instance, for church
page news is noon Thursday. This enables
the church editor to process the copy and get it
to the printing department in enough time for
it be set in type and placed in the church page
Friday.
Other departments have other deadlines. The
women's page closes at 9 a.m., the regional page
at 9:M a.m., and the sports page at 10 a.m.
The editorial page usually closes at 8 a.m.,
and those who bring in letters for Communica
tions at 11 o'clock in the morning are going to
be disappointed. Most editorial page copy is
processed the previous afternoon.
T11KRK are other deadlines for other types of
copy. A completed page is closed every few
minute's during the morning. The last to close are
the page for locals and personals, obituaries and
markets. Page 2, and Page 1, in that order. Last
minute changes for bulletins or other late-break-inir
news can be made on Pa ire 1 up to a few
minutes before closing time. j
In some instances, Page 1 can even be held;
for an expected news break, or even be called
biu k and l'l'-lliadc
if the
sufficiently important.
So, when a bright young PR man asks know
ingly when our "copy deadline" is, we assume
that he doesn't know much about newspapers
and, in his business, he'd better find out. K. A.

Charity Begins at Home
To the Editor: On Tuesday,
Dec. 4, the Medford Mail Trib
une published a letter from
an, apparently, very religious
and God-fearing man plead
ing for support of the mis
sionaries around the world
who are trying to convert
"heathens" into Christians.
This man begs for response so
here is mine.
This man has a beautil
thought but not very practi
cal, I'm afraid. I am a strong
believer in the old saying,
"charity begins at home." In
my estimation, missionaries
should be supported in the
south of our own United
Slates to strive for the rights
of the American Negro.
To me, the whites in the
South who burn churches,
schools and homes of the Ne
gro, the "adult" people who
throw stones at Negro chil
dren and prevent their attend
ing school, white parents who
teach their children to hate,
even though these people be
lieve in The Almighty, they
are the true heathens of the
world.
In my verbal war against
segregation, people always
say, "You don't know what
it's like to live around the
Negroes."
This statement is absolutely
ridiculous. I don't care what
they are like to live next door
to; they are Americans, they
are taxpayers, they are God's
children.
My sympathy lies with the
black American and not the
black foreigner.
May God have mercy on
the "Christians" of these Unit
ed States.

WHAT CHRISTMAS COULD BECOME
Christmas could become the kind of holiday it should
be:-
If the loudspeakers blasting out "Silent Night" paid

If climbing families did not vie against each other
in the elaborateness of their Christmas cards, and In
stead contributed some of the surplus expenditure to
worthy charity;
If the liquor industry refrained from displaying pic
tures of Jolly old Santa Claus dispensing booze to the
populace;
If the Christinas-through-New-Year period were de
voted to amending the thoughtlessness and rudeness of
Ihe rest of the year, rather than resembling an inebrt
aled lunatic asylum run by the inmates;
If less hysteria and more titste, care and conservatism
were exercised in the purchase of gifts, so that the week
after Christmas would not find the "return'' rounters of
shops In a state of utter chaos and collapse;
If children were taught that Christmas i a season
for giving, not just for grabbing, so that the self-centercd-ness
that is encouraged for the holidays does not hRve to
be curbed In January for children are incapable of
understanding why an attitude that is fostered In one
week is frowned upon in the next;
If the hearty friendliness could be laid on a little less
heavily, so that there would be mote left to spretd over
Ihe rest of the year, when It Is so badly needed:
If more people would ponder upon the real reason
why He Whose birthday we are celebrating was called
the "Prtnce of Peace. " and what this should mean in
terms of our own conduct;
And, most of all, if we forgot all Ihe world perver

Their attitude has been:
"Why should I protest, I have

letter of protest they would
be right out here going over

"I know I will have to hire
more help, and my salesmen
will have much less time to
work, but you just can't win

Frankly, they are afraid of
persecution by their govern
ment, and I think have reason
to be.

Cattlemen and Deer
To the Editor: We resent
very much the accusation of
one of your communication
writers of a few days ago,
who stated the doe slaughter
was due to the cattlemen
wanting the feed for their
cattle. He could not be more
wrong. J am safe in saying
99 per cent of the farmers
and cattlemen are not in fa
vor of the doe season. If he
would read his paper and
travel around a little he will
notice that most of the cattle
men have their places posted
against doe season.
We feed hundreds of deer
in our alfalfa fields and the
does use them for a materni
ty ward. Many young are
born in the fields to protect
them from predatory animals,
which of course does more
harm to the tall hay than
what they eat. But we do not
mind as this is one of the
many joys of country living.
We have watched a doe
raise her young right before
our eyes, and she hasn't any
fear as we are with her often.

If television and radio commercials
didn't try to link up the purchase o( their
products with the "spirit of Christmas"

rather than exhibitions of competitive

As Nikita Khrushchev and
Josef Broz Tito embraced at

station, it
scarcely
would have

The twists and turns of
Soviet-Yugoslav relations ac

Josef Stalin expelled Yugo
slavia from the Cominform
and Tito cried out that there
had been a "terrible mistake."
But it was not until 1955
that Khrushchev began to
take a personal hand in deal
ing with Tito, whose sin had
been that he was the first
Communist satellite openly to
road shoots her. Then we
watch the young mourn for
her and they often go hungry
as they are loo young to feed
on hay alone. Often the doe
is left lying because she isn't

her young.
No, we are not greedy, nor

Story Distorted
To the Editor: Your news
story about the Democratic
Central Committee's decision
to recommend Marvin Madden
as temporary postmaster of
Medford was somewhat dis
torted. Either your reporting
or editing is at fault.
The fact is that in nominat
ing Mr. Madden, ! stressed his
high qualifications for the po
sition. The other gentlemen
who sought the recommenda
tion are able and qualified.
However, the point i wished
to emphasize was that by any
valid criteria Mr. Madden had
the outstanding qualifications
for the appointment. In
word I thought it our duty and
responsibility to select the
best qualified man for this im
portant position.
My criticism of Eric Allen's
editorial about Marvin Mad
den was only Incidental to my
support of Madden. We were
not thece to denounce an ed
itor, as your front page story
would suggest, but to select a
postmaster!

In Other Days
To the Editor: Reading the
Medford Mail Tribune ac
count of the Applegate stock
men's grazing problems brings
to mind some earlier-day in
cidents. The Crater National
Forest (now the Rogue River
National Forest) was formed
from parts of the Ashland
Forest Reserve, created in
1893 to protect the Ashland
watershed, the Cascade and
Siskiyou Forest Reserves. The
Mcdford office was opened
in March, 1908. Record pa
pers came Irom HoseDurg,
Grants Pass, and some from
Yreka. Calif. As clerk and
bookkeeper I segregated and
refiled the papers.
Then, as now, there was a
limited amount of grazing.
Practically all stockmen were
cooperative about r o r e s t
Service regulations. A tew
said "my lather and grand
father used this or that range,
il was theirs and now its
mine. A very few persisted
to the point of being fined,

last sheep and cattlemen's
battle over the range was

j The granite-mica formation
; of Ml. Ashland. Wagner peak
j and some other parts of the
i Rogue River National Forest
make it very susceptible to
erosion. With too few- bunch
grass and other vegetation
roots, gullies form rapidly and
j grazing is depleted. The For
I est Service has been studying
land of various natural
j ground cover on different soil
; compositions for more than
50 years: erosion by wind
j water, of results of 100 or
1,000 cattle and sheep hoofs
! cutting the soil and disturb

is trying to bring Ihe range
to maintain the maximum
grazing with minimum dam-
age. Eastern Oregon has mil

A View of Cuba
To the Editor: Some of our
most dependable newscasters
almost gag when they reel
off what our central news
agencies insist must be said,
as "news", about the Cuban
crisis. Newsmen are no fools.
They know that the visible
Soviet missile bases, which
we photographed in Cuba,
are undoubtedly hoax missile
bases. Proof? If Khrushchev
had been serious about
a showdown with the United
States, he would have quietly
evacuated all major Russian
cities.
And. the tell-tale deploy
ment of some 200 Soviet and
Satellite armed forces divi
sions would also have been
noted by our "Intelligence."
Furthermore, stop and think
for a moment. Are real mis
sile bases in Russia, or in
the U.S.. visible from the air?
You bet they're not. They are
underground and c a m o u
flagcd. And if there ever
were any real missiles in
Cuba, that's where they are,
too well stored underground
near the sites where the real
underground missile bases
are being built. Such under
ground bases will never be
detected by the U.S. Air
Force.
What did the Kremlin stra
tegists gain from this hoax?
For one think they wanted
to. and did. test the reaction
of the American people. But
the priceless objective gained
was the pledge from Ken
nedy that Cuba would never
be invaded by us or anybody
else. The Cuban exiles have
"had it". They will never be
allowed to molest Castro
again. And by protecting Cas
tro, President Kennedy has
not only revoked the Monroe
Doctrine, he has put the Unit
ed States in the unbelievable
position of aiding and abet
ting, in (act guaranteeing, the
Communizing of the Carib
bean and all Latin America;
a suicidal policy which in
the long run can only result
in Communist slavery for the
American people of these
United States.
It was Lenin, himself, who
said, "First we will take cen
tral Europe, then the masses
of Asia we will surround
the United Slates, which will
be the last bastian of Capi
talism. We will not have to
attack It will fall like an
i ox er-ripe fruit into our
t hands "
i It is incredible. But our na
tion is now assisting the Red?
to surround us. These are 1
points very carefully avoided
by "America's most distin
guished and respected colum
nist", Walter l.lppmann. in
his speech, editorialized in i
Dec. 3 Mail Tribune. In whlrh
he tried lo sell us Kennedy's
Cuban crisis as a bargain

shoulder with the Soviet
Union toward . . . the victory
of socialism."
Out of this also came a
Soviet loan of $175 million,
plus a Soviet promise to sup
ply Yugoslavia with 300,000
tons of wheat.
In October the Hungarians
revolted against Kremlin rule
and Tito denounced Soviet in
tervention as a "fatal error."
He also prematurely dis
closed the developing rift be
tween the Stalinists and anti-
S. Whitt
very fact that for the first
time they have opened a run
ning assault upon him. Here
tofore they had left him large
ly alone, outside New York
state.
CONSERVATIVE and Ultra-
conservative Republicans,
too, have already picked him
as the man to beat. In vari
ous meetings - not all of them
yet publicized - they are talk
ing mainly now of doing this
through Sen. Barry Goldwa
ter of Arizona. And Goldwater
is the nominee most of them
probably would really prefer
to the end. It docs not follow,
however, that their strategy
is limited to Goldwater's ca
pacity to obtain the nomina
tion for himself.
They will go elsewhere if
necessary, even though just
where it is impossible as yet
to predict. Their interest in
either Gov. - elect William
Scranton of Pennsylvania or
Gov.-elect George Romney of
Michigan, or both, will be con
siderable, assuming that in the
next year the policies of ei
ther or both can be made to
fit reasonably well within the
principles of orthodox Repub
licanism. The essential point, in
short, is that the old Taft
wing of the GOP is stirring
in determination that Rocke
feller it must not be - who
ever else it may be,
rPHE 1964 convention thus
is likely to produce a con
frontation similar to that of
1952 in which Dwight Eisen
hower defeated the late Sen.
Robert A. Taft for the nomi
nation by power plays in
which the "modern" Republi
canism of the Eastern Sea
board overcame the tradition
al and Midwest-based Repub
licanism of which Taft was
both leader and philosopher.
There are, however, signifi
cant differences. The Eisen
hower of 1952 was politically
an unknown factor; the ortho
dox Republicans were not so
much deeply against him as
deeply in favor of Taft. But
in 1964 Rockefeller will have
had six years of a public rec
ord dotted already with im
permissible deviations from
what the conservatives regard
as the true Republicanism.
There will be, lo them, even
more reason to resist him than
there was to resist Eisenhow
er. Moreover, though the GOP
is a disciplined party and thus
ran an outwardly tidy party
shop through the Eisenhower
years, the general brought a
traumatic shock to the regu
lars which they will not soon
forget. Rockefeller for this
reason, too, may be pushing
at a door harder to open than
was at last opened to Eisen
hower in 1952. If there is one
thing the regulars don't want,
it is any more untypical Re
publicanism.
ALL this means that Gov
ernor Rockefeller's for
ward march has reached its
first real point of crisis. Here
tofore, he has had only to beat
the Democrats of New York
state, whose shrill and sullen
backbiting among themselves
has eased his way all along.

Stalinists, the rift which today
divides Moscow and Peking
and which has made Yugo
slavia a permanent whipping
boy for the Red Chinese.
In reply, the Moscow news
paper Pravda growled that
Tito showed a tendency to
"interfere in the affairs of
other Communist parties."
Through the remainder of
1956 and on into 1960, with
only occasional breaks, Yugo
slavia and Moscow continued
their verbal warfare. The So
viets reneged on their prom
ise of credits.
But the tide was turning.
The Moscow-Chinese rift was
coming into the open, and
Khrushchev was seeing cer
tain things he could admire

the private amusement that
both men could well have

communism long ago proved

starting for a destination on
the San Francisco side, got
lost and didn't find himself
until he was approaching
Goat Island, halfway across
the Bay bridge.
lljORE little news:
IU The residents of Tristan
de Acuna. who were evacuat
ed from their tiny, volcano-
ravaged island m the South
Atlantic some months ago
settled in London, don't like
it . They want to so back:
They took a vote on it the
other day, and the outcome of
it was that 148 of them said
they wanted to go 'lome, vol
canoes or no volcanoes, and
only five voted lo remain.
Why?
A spokesman says:
"In England, television
sends us mad. Cars, buses and
trains thunder through our
brains. There is no time to
THINK. Back in Tristan,
where we don't have even a
jailhou.se and very rarely
have an argument, a man can
come to grips with his soul."
CJO-
Since they feel that uv
about it, the British Colonial
Office, which strives to
please, will send them all
back lo Tristan da Acuna
next year.
The heck of it is that when
they get back to their barren
little island they'll probaolv
wish they had stayed In
Britain.
People are like that.
But from now on he will meet
incomparably heavier fire
power, from the national Dem
ocratic party on his left
flank and from the orthodox
Republicans on his right
flank.
He is for Ihe first time
about to be blooded in big
time combat. All that has
gone before has been mere
preliminary skirmishing; the
battle of the payoff now ap
proaches. And if he comes
through it all he will have
proved himself a tough and
able political general, indeed.
