Stroessner's Paraguay
Paraguay since 1900 has had 42 presidents,
including four in one year. However, since Gen.
Alfredo Stroessner seized power in 1954, the
land-locked, subtropical country about the size of
California has had only one president. The
formula was simple; Stroessner was unopposed
in 1954 and 1958 elections.
In this Sunday's election Stroessner is allow
ing the opposition to put up a candidate a 63-
year-old attorney, Dr. Lrnesto uaviian. bven ne
says: "I don't think we have the slightest chance
of winning.

American country. It has been under military or

Certainly Paraguay is no hotbed of democ
racy. Its press is controlled although some pa
pers are allowed to criticize' the regime. Between
40 and 50 per cent of the national budget goes
to the military and the police. The army is re
ported to control contraband operations from
Puerto Stroessner to Uruguay's free port Nueva
Palmira.
Stroessner .in 1954 decreed a state of siege
which has been renewed every 90 days since. The
government has been called "the most extreme
case of predatory praetorianism in all of Latin
America.
DESPITE his tight rule,

may have helped to keep him in power. Of $1
million in military aid allocated tor raraguay in
the past 12 years through June o0, 1902 some
$600,000 has bean delivered. Another $S00,000
is allocated for fiscal year 1963. Other post-war
aid through last June came to about $44 million.
Why support this mild-mannered little dic
tator? The most obvious reason is that although
his party is named Colorado, or reddish, he is
staunchly anti-Oommunist. I he Communist party
was outlawed in October, 1955. And while other
Latin American nations
embarrassingly in the Cuban crisis, Stroessner's
government announced its immediate and un
qualified support of President Kennedy's stand.
A less pragmatic reason may be a better one.
Stroessner is bringing democratic institutions to
Paraguay, albeit at a glacial pace. The alternative
to Stroessner probably would be raraguay s ac
customed chaos. In any
years the general-dictator-president has been
echoing this theme: We are progressing and
will soon be ready for the luxury of democracy."

Asks Questions
To the Editor: In his letter
of Feb. 5, Mr. Raymond D.
Roberts sounds off on every
subject from high taxes to the
South Sea Islands.. In reply
to his letter, I want to ask a
few questions.
Firstly, is Mr. Roberts
aware of the cost of national
defense? How would he pay
for this? With baked food
sales or, perhaps, a multi-million
dollar rummage sale?
The need for income taxes is
all too apparent.
Secondly, is he aware that
the 61st Congress passed and
the several states ratified
something called the . 16th
Amendment? It provides that
"Congress shall have the pow
er to lay and collect taxes on
income from whatever
source.
Mr. Roberts then belabors
Mr. Dcllenback's cat control
bill and confuses this with
high taxes. Has Mr. Roberts
taken the time to read even
a draft copy of the bill? Does
he. In short, know what he is
talking about? There is no
provision for State taxes or
even a cal license fee in tho
bill. The bill would permit,
but not compel, counties to
set up cat control programs,
If desired.
The need for cat control is
obvious. Does Mr. Roberts
have any facts to support his
contention that the bill is not
needed? Is he aware that peo
ple abandon, to starve or fend
for themselves, some 25 mil
lion unwanted animals each
year? Docs he know that 50
million kittens are born each
year in (he U.S.? That less
than half find homes? That
another 25 million animals
are destroyed each 1 year in
pounds because no one wants
them? That many million
more run loose? A friend of
mine has recently lost more
than 30 chickens, including
full grown hens, to raiding
cats. These "wild" cats are
the very ones that people
abandon to "live off the
land." The bill is needed to
prevent the decimation of
game birds. Such a program
would be administered at
county level, not in Salom, as
he contends. The cost would
be as little or as much as the
county anted to spoi.d.
There has been quite a bit
of sarcasm directed at Mr,
Dellciibitck from those who
should know better. It's about
time someone had a kind
word for him and I. for one,
admire his couraee for cham
pioning a cause llutt left him
open to ridicule, lie can count
my vote any time.
This is not intended as a
personal attack on Mr. Rob
erts, but I wish he would get
the facts straight before
sounding off in a public
forum, as this means that any
reply should be in the same
forum.
As for your trip to the
South Seas. Ray, let me be
the ftr.it to wish you a Bon
Voyage!

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
these inadequacies were al
ready corrected through the
use of regularly budgeted
funds, such as four additional
classrooms built at the high
school and junior high school
last summer, the acquiring of
an option for the purchase of
additional land area at the
Talent Junior High school,
and the' grading and resurfac
ing of playground areas at all
schools. A building program
to correct the crowded phys
ical education and lunchroom
facilities will be placed before
the people as soon as the set
tlement of school boundary
issues clears the legality of a
bond issue. The report indi
cated no overcrowded condi
tions in academic classroom
areas that were not immedi
ately remedied.
We also wish to point out
that the bonds for the Phoenix
High school will be retired in
1964. The money raised for
the annual bond and interest
payments to retire this bond
issue can then be used to fi
nance the proposed building
needs, so there would be little,
if any, rise in the district tax
levy for the completion of the
necessary building program
for the Phoenix School dis
trict. It is but fair and just to
point out that were we to con
solidate wiUi District 549C,
whose levy is already 4Vi
mills above that of Phoenix,
the additional tax require
ments for the Medford build
ing program would increase
the levy for the consolidated
district several mills more.
This would mean, for Phoenix
and Talent residents, a mater
ial increase in taxes above
what they are now paying.
The Phoenix-Talent school
board has publicized that por
tion of the report attesting to
the quality and progress of its
educational program. Build
ing recommendations of the
report have been studied by
the school board, and their
plans for building improve
ment will be brought before
the people of the district at
the proper time.

in her lon history, is seem

from out. And, as so often
before, she is not without
cool diplomatic resources in
this seemingly disastrous set

is little less than an economic

brought about by the same
France whose massive but re
luctant forces broke and left
British troops naked to Nazi

But the new British stra
tegy, if not yet wholly fixed,
turns first of all on the policy
of saying little but doing
much. The British counter-attack
to General De Gaulle
will not be frontal; rather,
he is to be flanked. .
IT may be said on highly

with suggestions that U. S.

even though Britain is out by
the sole decision of De
Gaulle, the five will not per
mit the market to be made
into an instrument for direct
punishment of the trade of
the excluded British.
THE first indispensable,
however, to the British
purpose is to build these ties
into real political associations
for they still think their
economic problems will hard
ly be solved outside the com
mon market and still think
that one day they will yet
enter it.
In the meantime, however,
the Prime British aim is to
avert a situation in which
De Gaulle might attempt
absolute political mastery
over his five common market
partners. It is such an eventu
ality which really most
troubles Britain, apart, of
course, from the heavy blow
to plain self-interest which
the act of exclusion has
brought.
For if the point should be
reached where De Gaulle had
total political mastery among
the six or thought he had
he might then proceed to do
what all the West fears. This
is to make some sort of deal
between his continental
"third force" and the Soviet
Union. There is, of course, no
suggestion that the general
an undoubted western patriot,
is also a wrong-headed one
would ever consciously sell
out the West.
1 '
flHERE is, however, serious
concern that his dreams of
"grandeur" might cause him
so to overestimate the real
power of this "third force" as
to put all the West in danger
from a Russian antagonist
who would have no difficulty
whatever in evaluating the
true limits of that, power.
There is a concern, in short,
that a part of the West might
one day be thinking of send
ing a boy to do a man's job
with a very tough fellow,
Nikita Khrushchev.
Now, to avoid all these
possibilities, and also for
their own vital interests, the
British figure they desperate
ly require the continued
friendship of the five within
the six. This is why they
speak comparatively softly
about De Gaulle. They want
no all-out rupture because
they fear that if the five were
abruptly forced into a sinr
pie. either-or position -s be
tween France and Britain, the
five might have to choose De
Gaulle because of their im
mediate economic interests in
staying with him.
1 as for example:
Saving Comes First
"Gov. Rhodes and his fi
nance director, Richard L.
Krabach, put the objectives
of the state administration
into focus with the simple
statement that the emphasis
will be on saving, not spend
ing. "If they can accomplish
their aims, they will have
done a job that has been need
ed in Ohio for a long time."
Emphasis on saving and
against spending is developing
as an issue that could be big
in the 1964 pre:ldential cam
paign. Rhodes seems to be on
top of that issue. That is an
advantage he has over Gov.
Nelion A. Rockefeller of New
York. Rockefeller is a pay-as-you-go

billion. But at the same time,
U. S. investments . in Canada
were spiraling sharply up
ward. From a comparatively mod
est $2 billion invested in 1929,
by the end of 1957 the sum
totalled $8.6 billion. In I960,
it was $10.2 billion.
Income tax payments to the
Canadian government from
these investments in 1957
came to $800 million and the
companies involved employed
more than half a million Ca
nadian workers.
But what concerned the na
tionalists most was the fact
that U. S. money had taken
over a heavy proportion ot
Canada's natural resources-75
per cent ot her oil and gas and
half of her mining.
Ties With Britain
Early in his career as prime
minister Diefenbaker called
upon Canadians to shift 15 per
cent of their U. S. purchase
orders to British suppliers in
order that Britain, in turn,
could have an increased abil

NOTICE IN WOMEN
A magazine I was reading
in the barber shop not long
ago asked a dozen prominent
men In vari
ous fields,
"What do you
first notice in
a w o m a n?"
Some of ' t h e
a n s w ers, of
course, were
suggestiv e 1 y
facetious, and
others were
' Harris solemn; but
the only reply that showed
any real insight was made by
Oleg Cassini, the dress de
signer. He did not mention (he
figure or the posture or the
clothes or any other super
ficial aspect that might be ex
pected from one connected
with costuming. He said,
rather:
"What I notice first about
a woman is her mouth, then
her eyes . . . Her mouth tells
me how she feels about her
self. Her eyes say how she
feels about other people - in
cluding me."
It it astonishing how
many women utterly fail to
comprehend that what
shows in their mouths and
eyei can totally cancel out
lha effect oi their clothes
and their cosmetics. In
fact, the belter groomed
and the mora carefully
made-up, the greater the
contrast between their ex
ternal appearance and their
inner fcrpeal.
Such women spend bil
lions every year on devices
'and decorations to improve
their figuret and their looks
- yet if the mouth it resent

luting, all of their vast ex
penditure! of money and
energy and time might as
well have been tossed down
lha drain.
t
This is especially true of
older women, who unmistak
ably reveal in their eyes and
mouths the way they have
coped with life, the adjust
ments of maladjustments they
have made, the philosophy
they live by, the attitudes
they have adopted toward
men and other women and
status and possessions and the
whole fabric of their emo
tional experience.
If such adjustments and at
titudes have been healthy and
honest and generous and
humorous and compassionate,
then the figure and the clothes
become wholly subordinate to
the personality; after awhile,
wo see nothing but the spirit
shining out from such a per
son. Contrariwise, if the emo
tional structure has been
ravaged by envy or petulance
or telf-pity or excessive van
ity, then the expensive and
well-tailored clothes, the im
peccable make-up and hair
styling seem like a clown's
costume, showing up in piti
less contrast the bitter mouth,
and the tortured eyes that dis
close a basic dissatisfaction
with one s self and with the
world.
