about one of the legislative
issues then before the House,
he ducked the question in
two directions.
"Off the record," he said,
"No comment."
Even rtporttr who
works the backwaters of
Journalism, as 1 do, can ex
perience these frustrations.
Take, for example, a docu
ment that I received in the
mail recently.
It is a brochure, handsome
ly printed on expensive vel
lum, which extolls the mer
its of a new hotel that is
opening here next month.
Ordinarily, the merits of a
hotel are not something that
the management tries to keep
quite. This brochure, howev
er, takes the form of a "per
sonal and confidential" mes
sage to the hotel staff.
It might be argued that the
hotel compromised its right
to privacy by mailing copies
of the brochure to a thousand
or so newspapermen. It might
even be suspected that the
hotel was hoping we would
make the contents public.
I, however, have never
been one to violate a con
fidence. If a hotel circulates
literature that is marked
"confidential," my impulse is
to keep it that way.
But after wrestling with
my conscience, which final
ly pinned me with a double
hammerlock, I decided I
could ethically paraphrase
the brochure if I refrained
from mentioning the name
of the hotel.
I think that even the ho
tel's publicity office will have
to concede that this is fair
approach.
Therefore, having settled
that question to my own sat
isfaction, I feel at liberty to
report that all of the bath
rooms in the new hotel will
be equipped with heated tow
el racks.
This means, in case you
haven't already grasped the
significance, that its guests
will be spared the ordeal of
drying themselves with tepid
towels.
If it had been a lesser
story, I might have kept the
lid on. But when civilization
is taking a giant step forward,
I think the public has a right
to know.

MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1962
Strauss Determined
To Continue In
Bonn Government
Bonn - (UPD - Franz Josef
Strauss may be down but he's
certainly not out.
The burly Bavarian has re
signed as defense minister and
has renounced a post in a new
government. But he Is stay
ing on in Bonn.
Strauss is still young as far
as Bonn politicos go. He is
only 47, whle the average age
of the present caretaker cab
inet is more than 55. Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer will
be 87 next Jan. 5.
Holds Top Job
Strauss may have given up
his job as defense chief, which
he held for six controversial
years, but he still holds down
one of West Germany's top
political jobs.
He is leader of the Christ
ian Social Union, the Bavar
ian wing of Adenauer's Christ
ian Democratic party.
As such, Strauss intends to
stay in Bonn where he will
still have a large say in na
tional politics. He may take
over Parliamentary leader
ship of the CSU as well if an
other job perhaps in the
new cabinet can be found for
the present CSU floorleader,
Werner Dollinger.
Strauss has not lost his am
bition despite his current set
back. His close friends say he
certainly still has his eyes on
the top government job, the
chancellorship.
A man who is always happy
in the midst of a political
fight, Strauss intends to be
around when Adenauer steps
down in favor of a younger
man.
AHpnaiipr' retirement un-
HnnhtpHlv will result in a bit
ter struggle for top jobs, and
Strauss will be in me tnicx
of it.
Little Chance Seen
Political observers say
Strauss has little chance of
getting Adenauer's job right
away. Foreign minister Ger
hard Schroeder is presently
leading the field.
Strauss is thinking about
the next general elections in
1965 and what will happen
then, his friends say.
The same evening after re
nouncing a job in the next
government, Strauss said in a
radio interview he has no in
tention of retiring to Bavarian
politics, although he will take
a hand in them as well.
He said his primary inten
tion is to stay In Bonn and use
all the influence he can
muster for continuation of his
defense conceptions and to
support government policy.

fore making a safe landing.
The plane, carrying 47 pas
sengers and a crew of five,

all airport traffic was stopped
for about five minutes while
crash equipment was sent to
the end of the runway.
Among the passengers was
Frank H. Bartholomew, chair
man of the board of United
Press International, who re
ported the passengers were
tense but there was no panic.
The plane was en route to
Washington from New York.
The wheel held firm on
landing, and maintenance
men waiting at the end of
the runway inserted locking
pins. The plane was then tow
ed to the air terminal.
