Letters to the Editor must beer the name and addrest' of the writer, although under cerium circumstances the use of a pen na.iie or initial for publication is permissible The VnU Tribune reserves the rtqhi to edit all letters with a view to clarification and eonctr1-..tion. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this coluirn do not necessarily represent the vtes ci the paper: in fact the contrary is often the case. Take an Interest To the Editor: Commenting on your editorial of Dec. 7 concerning the Democratic Central committee, I would like to say that it is hearten ing to know that there are those that see things as they are, and speak up. It was surely quite correct as far as it went. In November, we read a let ter from Madden, which you generously printed in the edi torial spot. It took at least three-fourths of the column, it was a nice letter, and it said just what was intended - abso lutely nothing. 1 don't believe that there arc many in Jack son county that have forgot ten that the Maddens were among the most vehement advocates of the county offices remaining elective. Making them appointive would rob the people of their votes, etc., etc. Now, we find that prin ciple can go hang, it all de pends on which foot the shoe is on. Also, Mark Norton writes, nobody asked him to vote for Madden. True, since by his own admission, he was in on this from the ground floor, so whom did he expect to ask him? We had a very able and efficient screening committee, who should be commended highly for their efforts in he half of the Democrats, and particularly, Past Chairman Robert Boyer, for his reports and words of wisdom offered. Had Madden aspired to this appointment for temporary postmaster, he should have had the courtesy to submit his application, as others did, to this committee which was the accepted method for obtaining eligible applicants, approved bv both Senator Morse and the Central committee. Somewhere along the line a good many of the committee members have lost sight of the intent of this organization, which is to LEAD the parly, not to promote a mutual ad miration society, for further ing individual conniving, by any means, regardless of cost to the party. An Oregon elec tion law, ORS 248 020, pro vides that each precinct have two committee members, one of each sex, to represent them in the Central committee. As of now, there are 45 precincts without any members, and 26 with only one to represent them, and quite a few not very active. Chairman Jean Mills is doing a Herculean job of conducting the meetings in an orderly manner, in spite of harassmcnts and deliberate confusion, as well as inter minable harangues (known po litically as filibusters) which is hardly called for at the county level. Every precinct should have an interest in be ing represented and support ing all actions for responsible leadership of the Democratic party by I he Central commit tee. Until such interest is takrn. the Democrats will likely remain at the bottom of the heap as they arc now. This is one tiling that should not be left for the other fellow to do.

Common Decency revealed an under-current of To the Editor: In answer to, intimidation, showing instead a recent letter in the Com munications column and a report (121962) by Al Kuet tner. Southern reporter, U.P.I., on the progress (or lack of it) in the case of Ne gro student James Meredith, enrolled in the University of Mississippi and the cost of this venture. Neither the letter, trying to establish Meredith's inability by refering to an article in a nationally known magazine, nor the report, have made their point, but rather have the University negligent in not controling the atmosphere under which this student lived and studied on the cam pus. Nor did they establish that he would not have main tained the let el of scholarship required to admit him had conditions been equitable. It did. however, place the s t i g m a of unAmericanism upon certain students, the University, its board of Re gents, the state of Mississippi and its elected officials.

O Ballad of a Trivial Affair How many, how many years ago Did I know his name? Did I know his name? The smile's still there and the eyes still glow; When I look at his face, the thrill's the same. Up in the attic, laid deep in a box Of hidden reminders of girlhood days, Among faded corsages and ribbons and frocks I founl a face from my yesterdays: A face from the past and a flame long dead. I didn't know it was just a game! Now I recall how my young heart bled But what in the world was his name? How many, how many years ago Did I dream those dreams? Did 1 dream those dreams? Confident innocence, soon to know that Romance is a business of wide extremes. Vain! I was vain in the days of my youth; To yield for another was grief for me. But love and fulfillment came, in truth, When finally my heart set its passion free. Now his name is forgotten and gone, but I Recall with a smile how I learned 'twas vain To weep in the nights as the hours crept by Or dream those dreams again! - Iva N. Hoffman Medford ligious segregation is un American and strikes at the very foundations of freedom upon which our way of life predicated. Ours is a cosmopolitan na tion, comprised of all nation alities, admitted to citizenship by naturalization or born under our flag. To discrimi nate against any group is to demonstrate insincerity in claiming freedom for all, and to breed discontent, even to fostering communism. Some express the fear that allowing integration of schools will soon develop into a situation where inter-marriage will present a problem. This I hold to be without foundation, in that the schools in the northern stales have always been open to all and no problem has arisen. I fail to understand the thinking that mixing of the races in schools, public trans portation vehicles, or other public places of gathering, will create chaos, when many of the same people maintain ing this fear have members of the segregated races working in their own homes, earing for their children and han dling the very food they eat. If these people are actually so superior are they not superior enough to fend off any con tamination? Yes, it seems to me that if the laws of the land, the laws of nature and the laws of common decency arc adhered to, all these troubles will disappear. C. R. Bnrrill 834' j Cherry st.

OAS action was imme diate and unanimous in sup port of our "quarantine." Equally prompt, and over whelmingly favorable, was the response at the UN, thanks largely to the brilliant and effective presentation of our case by Ambassador Ste venson. That the mission of U Thanl and his delegation of neutrals failed to obtain Castro's con sent lo on-site inspection of Russia's missile bases docs not minimize the importance of this historic action by the UN. Neither Khrushchev nor we were able to budge the bearded puppet. The Secretary-General continued, and still continues, to press for a final, peaceful solution through all means .at his dis posal: not least, through end less hours of behind-the-scenes consultations with represen tatives of the nations most concerned. If our own military action through aerial inspections was decisive, as was our major role in Korea, let no one dis parage either thc necessity lor nor thc importance of UN approval and collaboration. History will apportion due crcdil to both - even if Messrs. Robert J. Howard and James K. Shafer are reluctant to do so (MT 12 27). Both genllemen also need lo gel Ihe Congo record straight. Mr. Howard says the UN action there was in viola lion of the Charter and char acterizes it as "aggressive in lervention." Wrong on both counts. The action was based upon specific Charter provi sions, and aid extended a member nation in response to its urgent appeals is not inter vention. He regards Tshom he's secession as courageous, whereas most African leaders look upon him as a collabo rator with the colonialists. Even Helgium, till recently Tshombe's most outspoken supporter, now agrees that Katanga belongs within Ihe Congo; and the foreign min ing interests have declared their readiness to share their profits with the Central gov ernment. Mr. Sbafer's theology re mains confused. He still in sists he's for brotherhood but. Me "cannot be a brother to those who reject the Father and treat . . . fellow human beings contrary to the words and example of Jesus Christ." But thc love of God as re vealed to us in the life and teachings of Jesus makes no such distinctions. It is inclu sive. So ours should he, as we are taught in Luke (1:27 ;Ui.

Hermiston, Ore. On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE Television advertisers are becoming increasingly aware of the teen age market something radio advertisers discovered years ago. This week's Time maga zine reports the phenomenal success of a hair preparation called "Greasy Kid Stuff," brewed in a lard can as a joke by a pair of college students. Benefitting from a million dollar TV advertising cam paign where an athletic hero scoffs at greasy kid stuff on the hair, the sale of thc colle giate combination of lanolin, mineral oil and perfume has reached the fifty thousands. The Television Bureau of Advertising, as quoted in P.T.A. magazine, reports that every day 88.6 per cent of American teen agers watch television compared to only 60 0 per cent of adult men and 78.4 per cent of adult women. Most TV programs, especially westerns, reach 33 per cent of the country's teen age population. These figures arc not lost on American advertisers. "The teen age market," re marks one advertising expert, "is wide open to the alert ad vertiser. " And why? Because "leen agers are more suscep tible." Besides, adds thc Bu reau, whereas the average high school senior can com prehend only about one-third of what he reads in news magazines and about one-half of what he reads in a mass picture magazine, he can ap parently understand every thing he sees on television. (This will surprise nobody.) All this explains why thc Bureau sees teen agers as a "major market target," in tho jargon of thc trade. Within five years, it predicts it may be rare lo see a television commercial lhal shows an adult using a product. And that s the pleasant thought for today. 6 p.m. Sunday KBES-TV.

Why do we have such big wheels on our little car? There ore some gripping reasons. It would ba worth having big wheels on the VW just so it could have big tires. Why? Because big tires hold the road better ond last longer than little tires. But that's only hall of it. The Volkswagen people put those big wheels on Ihe VW so that we could have bigger brakes, too. Obviously, the bigger Ihe brakes Ihe surer the stops. The big wheels also let nice fresh oir in to cool the brakes more quickly. Which means that the VW's brakes always come back for more, no matter how hard you step on them. The VW's wheels are bigger than they hove lo be because VW likes lo overdo things in a big way. Hike Ihe fourth cool of paint that you really don't need, either.) So when you drive away in your new VW, you can expect about 40,000 miles on Ihe original rubber. IWhich is roughly Iwice what you can hope lor on most other cars.) Bui you'll have to go a long way to beat the record hold by Mr, Robert Walton of Home' stead, Florido. He chalked up 103,345 miles on his original set of 5 tires. Which Is quite o stretch lo go without getting tired.
