This newspaper has strongly opposed the approval of bond issues for construction of spe cific stretches of highways during the past three sessions of the state legislature. For years Oregon has financed Its highways on a pay-as-you-go basis, relying on the gasoline tax which, incidentally, Oregon was the first state to adopt. The first breach in this policy was, if memory serves, a Sla-million bond issue to Iinance badly needed reconstruction of segments of Highway 101 along the coast. ZITHERS leapt into the breach. Subsequent legislatures were bullied and teased and lob bied into approving other bond issues $26-miI lion for the Columbia river bridge at Astoria; $4-million for Highway 42 improvement, and so on. The bonding raids promise to continue. , Now it is most understandable that substand arcl road areas want their highways brought up to an acceptable standard. And it is understand able that they should not be too concerned about the methods used. But the inevitable result is that the heavy bonding has brought with it high amortization costs so high that they threaten to cut down .seriously on the amount of money needed to keep the regular highway construction program on schedule. THUS we have the two propositions first, that f 1". ft Ofl. .ivt nrY i cf of n Inrriblof imn a o 1Miair highway commission, and second, that excessive bonding is a dangerous threat to the continued well-planned program of highway construction, designed to meet the needs of all the state with out unduly favoring any section. The state highway department figures that there is a backlog of $500-million worth of high way construction and improvement that badly needs attention. With its present revenues it can only whittle away at this backlog, a little bit each year. This is the reason that the bonding proposals keep coming up. It is also the reason that a 1 cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax has been proposed. The most recent proposal combines these the suggestion that the 1 cent per gallon tax in crease be applied to pay off future additional bonds. "PP0SED as we are to additional bonding, we would support this suggestion, with two provisos, namely: - 1. That new bonds issued do not exceed the repayment amounts available from the gas tax increase ; , z. That the funds derived from the new bonds be spent solely at the discretion of the highway commission. buch a measure would enable the commission to cut down more rapidly the huge unmet high way construction needs. And it would eliminate the log-rolling, pork-barreling -kind of highway programming which is inevitable when the leg islature gets into the act. WITHOUT these two limitations, we strongly rl u nnrnvo rf i.nv llrlrl itir.mil Krtnrlil.o fnl- ...A A.,,,,. A, ,w A.V..A..A,..AA, ..V....b A. highways. It is destructive to the overall good of the state's highway program. We particularly oppose bonding tor specitic projects, for these are unfair to other sections of the state eauallv needy, but perhaps not as skilled at political techniques to persuade the legislature. We repeat, the legislature is a lousy highway commission. but, it Oregon s highway needs are to be met, within the foreseeable future, something must be done. A 1 cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax would help. So would bonding so long as it does not interfere with the planned and orderly program of highway construction already laitl out. n Combine the two, and wc think the way would be clear for a more massive attack on cut ting down the backlog of unmet highway needs.

THE GREAT ROW'S NEXT STAGE Washington - With bated breath, the Western students of Slno-Sovict demonology are waiting for the next stage in the great row between Moscow and Peking. The scene is ex pected to be the East Ger man Commu nist Party Congress. An other even more lurid act in this strange political drama Is thought to be insur i by the recent resumption of Sino Sovlct name-calling. All of Communist terminol ogy's equivalents of four-let ter words have now been used by the Chinese, to de scribe the sins of Nikita S. Khrushchev. "You're anoth er," the Russians h.ive re plied in effect, in the official Pravda. In this new outburst of po litical billingsgate, the Chi nese were the aggr .sors. A furious' denunciation of "the modern revisionists" - mean ing Khrushchev - was pub lished in Peking on Dec. 15. This was followed by the gi gantic, full-dress document stating the whole Chinese Communist case against the Russians, which was .lao Tsc tung's angry welcome to the New Year. rFHESE two articles in the People's Daily were then reinforced on Jan. 6 bv an article in the Chinese Commu nist army paper, R-d Flag, which bore all the marks of hysterical fury. And on Jan. 7 Pravda hit back by directly accusing the Peking regime, for the first time by name, as a disseminator of "dog matic, divisive views." It is likely that the Chi nese decision to return to the attack with increase violence had an important hidden mo tive. The Chinese Communist armed forces arc si ill almost wholly dependent on the So viets for their heavier and more complex wenpo. i. But it is now accepted as a fact that the Soviets have put an end to their arms exports to the Chinese. llench the sorely strained Chinese economy must be strained still further, in order to manufacture spare parts for existing equipment, and to produce the replacements that will later be needed. In these circumstances, the sus pension of arms exports is a grave provocation. 1IIORE open provocation of " the Chinese at the East German Communist P.irly Congress is anticipated for two reasons. On the one hand. Castro Said Seeking To Rebuild Prestige Through Agitation in Other Latin Lands By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst When Nikita Khrushchev's scheme to set up rocket bases in Cuba backfired and Fidel Castro ewiom store lost prestige the Sino-Sovict dispute has now become too burning a topic to be passed over in silence. On the other hand, this party congress culminates a series that began in Bul garia. And the Chinese have been roundly condemned at all the preceding satellite party congresses in this scries. At the East German con gress, the least that can be expected is a sharp denuncia tion of tile Chinese by the odi ous East German party boss, Walther Ulbricht. Anlonin Novotny of Czechoslovakia and Ulbricht of East Germany are the two surviving Stalin ist leaders in the East Euro pean satellite parties. Even more than Novotny, Ulbricht probably sympathizes with the Chinese; hence Ulbricht may not mean what h- says. Yet at the Czech Congress, Novotny was required to go on record witli the sharpest attack on the Chinese position made by 'iiy satellite boss up to that time. What Novotny had to do, Ulbricht will also have to do, one may be pretty sure. But the East German party congress will be set apart from its predecessors in the series by the august presence of Khrushchev himself, at the head of an unusually hightow ered Soviet delegation. At a minimum, therefore, Khru shchev will be on hand, smil ing, slapping, and givir j for mal countenance to the ex pected attacks on the Chi nese. QUITE possibly, Khrushchev will go beyond merely giv ing countenance. In their han dling of the Chinese problem. uie preceding satellite parly congresses have followed a crescendo naitern. Novotnv. for instance, was the first sat ellite leader to name the Chi nese quite openly, instead of denouncing nameless "dog matists." It would complete the crescendo pattern rather neatly if Khrushchev himself joined the chorus with his own overt condemnation of Mao. The thing may not stop there, cither. The experts now incline in mini, tnai it is oniy a matter of time before the formal, final, Stalin-Tito-siylc rupture between Peking and Moscow. The East German congress may also produce the call for the world con gress of all Communist par ties everywhere, which will probably have to-be held be fore an official anathema can be pronounced on the Chi nese. As the East German con gross may also be expected to show tiie present condition of the three-utiarlers buried Berlin crisis, tins meeting on the ltilh of this month should i be an interesting occasion. suffered sub' a e q u e n t humili a 1 1 o n tD-lrr, I I " r o u g n- fkA 1W I out Latin a' a i r ill c r 1 t it was natural and expected that an im portant policy shift to re- would follow. - First tangible evidence came when Venezuela report ed intercepting a coded signal from Havana radio directing Fidelista- Communist agents in Latin America to step up their campaigns of subversion and violence. Within hours, saboteurs in Venezuela blew up four oil company power stations at Lake Maracaibo. Since then, more evidence has accumulated. Last week, Peru's ruling military junta suddenly car ried out a vast roundup of Communists, Castroites and fellow-travelers on charges that they plotted a simultane ous break-out of violence throughout the' country in order to pave the way for a Communist government con trolled by Moscow.

PERSONAL PREJUDICES The next time, before you blame your child for "not listening to reason," take a look around the world and count the number of adults who habitually listen to rea son. Speaking of that uncom mon trait, might we not de fine an "unreasonable" hus band as one who wants his wife to look lovely without taking the time that loveli ness requires? A venal police force is a greater threat to liberty in a society than a nest of sub versives: subversives can be dealt with by the law, but who is to deal with the law? The line between discre tion and cowardice is ex ceedingly fine; and man's worst sin is the negative one of failing to speak up for justice when it cries out for support. Nothing we do is half as bad as what we do not do. Best and tersest explana tion for the steady output of creative productions was Riven by Auerbach, when he wrote: "The little dissatisfac tion which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work."

In Sao Paulo, Brazil. UPI coVrespondent Joseph Brant interviewed a secret police in spector. The inspector, Al cides Cintra Bueno Filho, charged that Soviet bloc arms for a projected Brazilian peas ant league uprising are buried in secret caches "all over Brazil." The inspector led the inves tigation which uncovered two such caches In late December. C z e c h-made arms were wrapped in Havana news papers dated Feb. 24, 1962. Since Brazil still maintains diplomatic relations with Cuba, the movement through the country of Castro and Communist agents traveling on Cuban passports is rela tively easy. Despite removal of his of fensive missiles, Castro still has plenty of weapons left with which to encourage re volt among peoples already discontent as result of unbal anced economies, hunger and galloping inflation. Estimates as to the worth of Soviet -bloc arms in Cuba range all the way from $100 million to $400 million. ... Communications ...

Shirt Prices To the Editor: In reference to Mr. Jenny's letter of Jan, 6, 1963, concerning shirt prices charged by Medford laundries, if he- would have taken the time to run down the facts, he would have learn ed the following: That the long sleeve cotton sport shirts require 30 per cent more labor to finish than a dress shirt. The assembly line unit of presses was de signed primarily for the Iron ing of dress shirts and can only be used in part to finish a sport shirt. Additional labor in the form of hand ironing and touch up is necessary to make a sport shirt present able. Our company can iron three dress shirts in the length of time required to process one sport shirt. There is no additional charge levied for returning either type shirts on a hanger in a plastic bag. If Mr. Jenny can spare some of his letter writing time, I'll be happy to take him on a tour of our plant and then he can see first hand the labor problems involved. Murrey A.

Taxes To the Editor: I read with a good deal of interest the article by Cleo Canoose in Monday's paper, as this is along the same lines I have been thinking, only I was thinking too of ail the new taxes the state of Oregon is going to try to add to all us already overburdened tax payers. I don't see it will help the economy any to have the federal government lower our taxes, then the state turn right around and add more. When they are getting so desperate as to try to collect taxes off a few men working for the state of Washington, when these men live in Wash ington, besides, then they must be getting awfully des perate I would say. But so long as we the people sit quietly in the background and allow them to, things win continue to get worse instead of better, and it seems the present ones heading our state government are sure tax happy people. They tell us they need this money for bet ter government but it seems lo me better to cut expenses and unnecessary spending rather than asking more taxes. Well, folks, perhaps there is some hope for us taxpayers, if you can call it that. Maybe after they finally take all our paychecks they will issue us certificates for food and hous ing, etc., etc. Anyway that way we will be giving them case of nuclear attack, we see high, anticipation of meeting us.

Yours For What It's Worth. (Name on File) Eagle Point, Ore. Demonic Forces To the Editor: Concerning the article in last Sunday's is sue about the alleged flying saucer seen and ridden in by a scientist now living at Mer lin, Ore., I would like to point out that such incidents, if they happen at all, are, according to God's Word, brought to pass by the enemy of our souls Satan. Before I refer to the Bible texts I would like to quote some words from a lecture given some time ago by Dr. Herbert Butterfield, profes sor of modern history at Cam bridge university. This man is also a recognized authority in the fields of philosophy and theology. He declared: "Christianity, as it operates on mundane events, conducts the battle in behalf of righte ousness in a manner that is its own, not in the manner of the men of the world. By the very definition of the situation, our fight is not against flesh and blood, but, to use the New Testament phrase, against principalities and powers meaning by these, not stales or political bodies, and cer tainly not human beings, but pervading systems. Our fight is against some deviltry that lies in the very process of things, against something which we might even call de monic forces existing in the air. The forces get men into their grip so that men them selves are victims in a sense, even if it is by some fault in their own nature they are victims of a sort df posses sion." To me this would seem an apt commentary on the words of the apostle John, who in vision, having seen Satan "cast out into the earth," de clared: "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for. the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." (Rev. 12:12). i John again describes the judgment to come upon men in the seven last plagues by saying: "And I saw three un clean spirits like frogs come out of the moulh of the dra gon (Satan) and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false pro phets. For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." (Rev. 16: 13, 14). Scientists, commentators, and statesmen have been tell ing us repeatedly that the threat to modern man is found in the explosive hea vens above us. Wc would like to magnify these warnings by saying that the even greater danger is that represented by "the prince of the power of the air." or, as Dr. Butterfield states it, "demonic forces existing in the air." Let us suggest in closing, that instead of colonizing in isolated spots for survival in to it that we "dwell in secret place of the Most High" and "abide under the shadow ot the Almighty." (Ps. 91:1-12.) Harold J. Reith Briggs Bldg. Shady Cove, Ore. Fog Tax To the Editor: Mr. Jenny's question about taxes, Mail Tribune, Jan. 6, can be an swered in a very few words. Until such time that the vot ers get their heads out of the sand and quit sending money mad governors and legisla tors to Salem, they will hava to put up with tax, tax, tax, and spend, spend, spend. Seems they sit in the old easy chair during the campaign in stead of getting out and root ing for those who stand for reduced spending, and then holler their heads off after its too late. This session I look for soma bright shining light to intro duce a bill placing a meter on each person's nose and then tax them for the fog they fil ter. Claude M. Hall, 2860 Placer rd., Sunny Valley, Ore. Take Over the Banks To the Editor: Floyd McCabe in a letter to the Ed itor 1-7-63, "What's a Bank?," could open the eyes of a lot of people if they would just take time to find out how our monetary system works. Hen ry Ford once said years ago, when they had him hanging on the ropes, that if the Amer ican people knew how our monetary system really worked, there would be a rev olution before morning. I think that still goes today. How many of us have taken time out to do a little investi gating for ourselves? There is nothing about it that makes sense. It is too bad we did not have more Aaron Burrs and not so many Alexander Ham iltons. We rant and rave about our forefathers. Well they left us saddled with a monetary system that is strictly for the birds. The government operates the post office department at a deficit. That is fine. Now I say why can't the government operate the banks and let that interest go into the U. S. treas ury? That will balance the budget and also cut taxes. We own the minis and make Ihe money and money is just as good as the government that is back of it. What investment do the bankers have? Quite a business, don't you think? I say take the banks over, pay the bankers dollar for dollar for their assets, then let the government loan the money and collect the inter est. Then and not until then will the people of the U.S.A. own their country. Let's di vorce ourselves from the in ternational banks and run our own show. Why should we have to -borrow and pay interest on something wo manufacture o u r s c 1 v c s? It looks a little stupid to me. Think it over. I am now on my way to see my banker for a friendly loan. You know, they just love to loan. Roy Prichard, 414 South First St., Central Point, Ore. 1 0'".-?V(:' 1 v.
