Stupid and Discriminatory The Washington legislature, now meeting at Olympia, has before it a bill which would amend the 1!)0!) "blue laws" of the state those which regulate and limit commercial activity on Sunday. Under the bill, the following items could not be sold on a Sunday: Liquor, household furnish ings, building supplies, appliances, jewelry, cloth ing, motor vehicles, clothing accessories, toys (except novelties and souvenirs). Sale of groceries would also be banned ex cept in small, neighborhood stores. Sporting goods would be banned except at recreational facilities. DKAL properly could be sold on Sunday, how ever, and so could goods for charitable or burial purposes, drocers. while unable to sell food, would be able to sell agricultural items, j This proposed measure is as are all "blue j laws" a monstrosity. It is discriminatory, il logical, and just plain capricious. Originally blue laws were enacted almost en tirely as protection-of-religion laws. However, in more recent years, they have become, more and more, regulators of competition under the guise of social legislation, ostensibly (but not actually) protecting workers from exploitation. IT IS under the latter guise of social legislation that most Sunday blue laws have been upheld in the courts in recent years. In our way of think- j ing, this is no better a pretext than the protection- of-religion argument. The latter forces a religious practice on those not committed to it, thus violating their freedom of religion. The former purpose can be, and is, better served by wage and hour legislation, guar anteeing everyone a period of rest during the week, not necessarily on any special day. Thus, the only real reason left for blue laws I is for the regulation of competition. And here one really enters a wondrous jungle. WHY, for instance, should a resident of Vir ginia be able to buy a six-pack of beer on Sunday, but not be able to buy a quart of milk? If this isn't the rankest stupidity, we'd like to know why. Why does the Washington proposal permit real property sales, but ban those of sporting goods except at recreational facilities? If this isn't the rankest illogic, we'd like to know why. Whv do some Sunday blue laws make one who celebrates the Sabbath on Saturday (as do Jews, Seventh-day Adventists and Seventh-day Baptists) have two non-work days, rather than one, against his own wishes? If that isn't the rankest discrimination, we'd like to know why. CUNDAY business grew up over the years in response to a genuine demand. If there were no demand for Sunday sales, you can bet stores would be closed the very next Sunday. Thus, blue laws discriminate not only as be tween businesses, and against individuals, but also against the person who has no religious scrunles against buying something on Sunday. The report of the General Assembly's Special Committee on Church and State to the 174th Gen eral Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., had this to say: "The church itself hears sole and vital responsibility for securing from its members a voluntary observance of the Lord's Day. The church should not seek, or even appear to seek, the coercive power of the state in order lo facilitate Christians' observance nf the Lord's Day." We couldn't agree more. The Washington legislature should resoundingly reject the asinine proposal before it. Furthermore, we think the Oreiron leuislature would be well advised to. study this stale's blue laws with an eye toward their elimination. F..A. "You Think They Might Really Pull An Inspection?" Today & Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann lei HHi.'t. The Wh)iinE(on Post IS IT A CRAZY BUDGET? It is not going to be easy to prove the case for the new budget which superimposes a planned def icit of nearly S3 billion on top of an in voluntary def icit of some S7 or $8 bil lion. It is easier to ar gue the casc which is nov- Lipiimauii el and highly debatable - when it is done with the modesty and learn ing of the economic message than when it is done with the dogmatic assertiveness of the tax message. For nothing can be so certain as the lax mes sage says it is, and no tax bill can be so unqualifiedly won derful. The basic question which will have to be debated for some months to come is whether the budget for fis cal 1964 is likely to do what it is designed to do. Will it, that is to say, cause business to expand, thereby reducing unemployment and using to something nearer full capac ity tlte industrial plant? THE principle of the What's Your I.Q.? Nine or ten correct it super ior; icvcn or ciqht it excellent; tiv or kix it good. Lobbying for Waste 11164 budget is a new one. Why should there be a need of a new budget principle? Be cause the country is confront ed with an economic problem which first made its appear ance toward the pnd of 1957. The problem arises from the fact that there is a condition of chronic economic slug gishness: the average rate of unemployment has moved up to a new level - from 4 per cent fur the years from 1947 1957 to 6 per cent ever since. The American economy has been sluggish because total demand has been sluggish and capital investment con sequently inadequate. This sluggishness is a heavy bur den on the nation. We are not producing each year about $:)( billion of wealth that we have the labor and resources to produce. As a result of this non-production, tax revenues have fallen and the chronic slug gishness has produced chron ic budget deficits. it is not easy to remember how to explain why it is round. The new theory is that the total demand for goods and services should be approxi mately large enough to pay for approximately all the la bor, plant and capital re sources are capable of pro ducing efficiently. l1HOSE of us who accept this fundimental theory agree that the chronic sluggishness since 1957 has been due to insufficient total demand. We agree, therefore, that demand should be increased, and while this could be done by massive government spend ing, it is easier and quicker and has less of what the doc tors call "side effects" to do this by reducing taxes. Ex perience has shown that con sumers spend 93 per cent of their disposable income, which means the total de mand will rise quickly after a tax reduction. There are not many who now oppose a reduction of taxes. But there are many who believe that the princi ple on which the administra tion is acting is crazy and im moral. They are saying that, while taxes should be re duced, the budget should be balanced at the same time by reduction of government ex penditures. Have they, one wonders, looked at the figures, and if they have, can they really mean what they are saying? The deficit in the new ad ministrative budget (1964) is estimated at St 1.9 billion after tax deduction and tax reform. This is over 10 per cent of the total administra tive budget which is esti mated at $98.8 billion. Where do they think they can find the nearly $12 billion to cut? Presumably they will not wish to cut national defense, which takes S55 billion. Nor will they cut space research, which takes $4.2 billion. Nor the veterans, which takes $5.5 billion. Nor interest on the debt, which takes $10 billion. Nor, if the arc polit ically candid, will they cut very seriously the $5.7 bil lion taken by agriculture. 1. is a minaret the name of a dance or a lofty tower at tached to a musqttc?

Hut one argument we've never been able to get excited about is that Oregon isn't getting its "fair share" of military installations and defense manufacturing industries. IH DO NOT customarily agree with the Wall Street Journal editorials that our business manager occasionally drops on our desk, but we most certainly agree with one. It was entitled "Lobbying for Waste," and described the efforts of a new Pennsylvania com-i niittee organized "to lobby for the state's 'fair share' of Federal defense spending," and oppose any cutbacks in Army, Air Force or Navy facilit ies in the state. The Journal says: 1 ton is talking about those $:!() billion. Does anyone think those Su billion can be cut in half'.' The truth is that those who mean seriously to cut government expenditures to an amount equal to the def icit must cut defense or give up the hope of balancing the budget and cutting taxes. The fact of the matter is however, More Trouble Foreseen in Southeast Asia; Indonesia Resisting Malaysia By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Newt Analyst If the signs mean anything, we can look for more trouble in Southeast Asia between now and Aug. 31.

And howl DISPATCHES report that a heavy snow is swinging through New York state, leaving up to 70 inches in its tracks. Plows are having a problem disposing of it. In places they have thrown up 12-foot ridges along the road sides. In Watertown, nearly all vehicles arc flying red flags at the top of radio aerials so they can be spotted over snowbanks at the intersec tions. At least 260 persons are dead in weather related mis haps since the record-breaking cold and snow, the worst in the century in some re spects, first struck 10 days ago. w HAT about overseas? the Indonesians then went on lo say they were adopting a policy of "confrontation" to ward the Federation of Mal aysia. Last week, in conversations with UPI President Minis Thomason, leaders in Singa pore and Malaya expressed concern over the Indonesian position. In Kuala Lumpur, Malayan Premier Tengku Abdul Rah man told the Indonesians to "keep your hands off Malay sia." "Confrontation" is a word the Indonesians used in forc ing the Dutch out of Dutch New Guinea. It combined political and economic pressures with mili tary threats backed by power ful armed forces built primar ily with Communist-bloc aid. Now, with Dutch New Gui nea still undigested, the-same tactics arc to be directed against the federation, with North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei the targets.

Now you have both sides. You can take your choice. questioning a word that every body "understands." While drudging away in a patent office in Switzerland, and working on his mathematical equations, he asked himself what was meant by "simul taneous." O f course, everybody knows what "simultaneous" means-happening at the same time. But what ex actly is "ihe same time"? No one human being among the millions who had exist ed until then ever doubted that he knew what "same lime" meant. A child of 5 could have told us. And yet, by questioning this simple, obvious idea. Einstein cracked open ihe whole uni verse like a nutshell. Each scientific genius at the crucial point of his career, went back to first principles. Each asked him self a question that any idiot could answer-and each found that the answer was not true, thai the obvious was not so obvious after all, thai the infinitely simple has locked within it the se cret of the whole complex cosmos, A leaf, a stone, a star.

Repetition To the Editor: When these advertising geniuses went to school they, no doubt, had dif ficulty learning their lessons, and had to repeat a rule or definition many times for it to sink into their craniums. That is why they use the tac tic of repetition to cram Ihe name of the product they are trying to sell into the be numbed mind of the hapless listener.

How He Weeps To the Editor: Several writ ers have expressed grief be cause of the invasion of states' rights" by the fed eral government. I grieve too, but not for the same thing. Not for the chil dren for whom a fiendish gang in Washington is planning to build schoolhuuses. Nor for the elderly on social security who will be enslaved and de graded by being allowed to pay their doctor bills from their own contributions. Nor for the Negroes who will be threatened by the granting of citizenship. Nor for the inter state travellers on roads built through federal government assistance. Nor for the people who fish in a lake, formed by a government dam, that they can call their own. No, I weep, oh, how I weep, for the men who have lost the dream, the mechanical men. Sinclair Lewis described the life of these lost souls in one of his books: "The goal of life in Gopher Prairie is contentment. . .the contentment of the quiet dead, who are scornful of the living for their restless walking. It is negation canonized as the one positive virtue. It is the prohibition of happiness. It is slavery self-sought and sclf defended. It is dullness made God." Frank Cruni, White City, Ore. Hospital Needs To the Editor: To achieve better care of patients, the state mental hospital needs to be integrated into the com munity. This means keeping the hospital and its staff in closer touch with all of the community's public and priv ate agencies, ft means an end to the hospital's isolation from the community; in isolation, the backward custodial sys tem may thrive, whereas in the mainstream of commun ity activity, a hospital's short comings of service may conic to attention. The population of O S II. is approximately 2.700 patients who live on 53 wards. About 1.000 people are employed and, with the help of the pa tients, keep the hospital func tioning on a a 24 hour basis. Six wards receive all of the patients into the hospital. Many of the patients are treat ed and released from these wards, although some require specialized or longer treat ment, and are therefore trans ferred to other wards. Within the hospital general ly, the personnel work as teams. By combining the ef forts and skills of people ffom different professional groups, more of the patient's problem areas can be understood and and explored. Because pa tients help each other, they are a very important part of this team. In the past few years, many of our ideas about the mental patient have changed. We have changed our ideas about the kind of persons he is, and we have changed our ideas about how we should treat hint. One of the most important factors in the perpetuation of mental illness in the patient is rejection. As a consequence the person who must come lo the hospital often feels that the community is merely try ing to gel rid of him. Also, many people who have severa emotional problems are afraid to ask for help for fear ot being rejected because of this stigma. Hospitalization is .often seen this way; the patient feels ho is not wanted in the commun ity, and believes that he is being punished for misbe havior. Such -a feeling does not help in the hospital aim of returning the patient to normal life. It is the patient whose friends and family arc genu inely interested in him who has the best chance of get ting well. Similarly, a com munity which is interested in its hospital, and the patient in it, will help the hospital to serve the community more effectively.' (Name wilhcld) Saucermen To the Editor: Docs not common knowledge tell the ordinary layman that any so called "saucermen from outer space" arc not likely to con verse with an earth man that has no special academic train ing or learning in the prin ciples of technology? We are only assuming this to relate to all the fabulous accounts since the "White Sands Incident" in New Mexi co. For shortly after the con troversial "White Sands In cident," more and more stories began to be told the press from all points of the compass. Especially the first year or two, sighting of many space-ships made the head lines over the Southwest and Northwest. It seems after the fad rath er wore off, new stones be gan to pop up about having interviews with the inter planetary visitors.
