A Celebration
The Rogue river valley was covered with
glory the other day with the news that a hardy
group of Southern Oregon college students had
broken the national kite flying record.
We confess with a certain embarrassment
that we were ignorant a kite flying record even
existed. It's so difficult to keep up with things
these day?. .
xiictbB wuy we wcie an wic utuic iiiiiucu tu
learn that not only did our own SOC students
know of the record ; they were sufficiently chal
lenged by it to go right out and smash it to
smithereens.
1XE DID just a bit of checking and we're proud
' to pass on to you the information that this
was definitely an extra-curricular undertaking.
There is absolutely no truth to those stories
being spread about that:
1. The kite was flown
periment for a class in meteorology.
2. The students were history majors attempt
ing to verify the story of how Ben Franklin flew
a kite and discovered electricity.
No sir. This was just
American fun, and had no
nection whatsoever.
1E SAW a story the other day by one of the
wire service correspondents in Russia, who
said that hordes of young Muscovites, eager to
break the newly established record, may be seen
daily now on the hills around the Soviet capital,
determinedly practicing their kite flying.
There is a rumor too,
international Olympic committee is giving seri
ous thought to including kite flying among its
approved list of competitive sports and games.
We would like to suggest to the college ad
ministration that a two or three day moratorium
from tests and studies on the campus be pro
claimed so that proper celebration can be made
of the record-breaking kite-flying achievement.

Georgia is upset about the state's homicide
law, which makes it possible to execute a fellow
now in death row. He was 15 when he committed
his crime. That is five years older than he would
have had to be under the Georgia law, which
permits execution of criminals as young as 10.
Sixteen states set 7 as the minimum age at
which a criminal may be executed. Three others
put the age at 8.

"Psychologists
Have you ever thought you would like to be
a psychologist? It's easy
in Oregon these days.
Just list yourself in the telephone book as a
psychologist and start in, even if you don't know
the difference between a psyche and a spittoon.
Or in cities which require a business license get
one and call yourself a "licensed psychologist."
1 hat has been done in the state but efforts are
now being made to assure that those who call
themselves psychologists
A BILL in the legislature by Sen. Alfred Cor
bett, (D-Portland), and others seeks to control
unqualified and improper practice of the profes
sion. It calls for the certification of psychologists
similar to that required in 22 other states includ
ing Washington and California.
Under the bill a person who calls himself a
psychologist or describes himself with phrases
involving the words "psychological," "psycho
logist" or "psychology" would need certification.
The measure asked by the Oregon Psycho
logical Association is described as a certification
bill, not a licensing one.
yo BE considered for certification a person
must hold a doctoral degree with primary
emphasis in psychology and have two years of
post-doctoral experience in psychology.
The practice of psychology is described as
the "application of established principles of learn
ing, motivation, perception, thinking and cmo
tional relationships to problems of personal eval
uation, group relations
by persons trained m psychology.
A special provision is written into the bill
which would require that when a certified psy
chologist engages in psychotherapy he is to "col
laborate with a physician" in order to make pro

Hacking at Freedom
To the Editor: Your edl
torial, "Never on Sunday'' I
S-63) should remove the cob
webs from the minds of the
legislators and Dr. G. Herbert
Smith. If they keep hackin
away at our freedoms,
will soon have to move to
some other planet and start
all over again, it appears now
that before we elect or ap-
point anyone as law-makers
we ought to first make them
take a psychiatric examina
tion and a lie-detector test.
Soon we will have a law to
protect us from elephants
trampling on our lawns, all
cars will not only have to
have seat belts but also escape
hatches Just in case we plunge
into a lake. No one will be
1 lowed to work in his garden
without a hat on his head to
protect him from sun-stroke.
We will also have to rest on
Sundays whether we are tired
or not.
Each unnecessary new law
that we can do without takes
away a little bit more of our
freedom and then makes it so
much easier to force the next
one on us.
I don't honestly believe a
letter of protest would really
do as much good as most of
us think, unless it was from
president of some university
or the like. But just in case
it would help, it might be
worth a try before they
strangle us with a law to pre
vent us irom protesting to the
law-makers or anyone else.

Closa Out" Sal
To the Editor: On Feb. 7
this year, I noticed a large
trailer load of new furniture
being delivered to a Medford
furniture store.
This store has been closed
for several weeks. Signs on
the doors have stated that
closure was forced by cedi-
tors.
It has been brought to my
attention that a sales promo
tion Is soon going to "close
out" this store.
I think it is highly unethi
cal to advertise, or "close
out," a business and at the
same time, bring in large
amounts of ' merchandise to
sell to people, on the pretext
mat mis is part of "fore
closure stock."
The type of merchandise
brought in is purchased es
pecially for this type of sale,
and can be sold at a handsome
profit at so-called "going out
of business" prices.
The buyers of such prod
ucts are also left without serv
ice, warranty or recourse.
I contend that local people
should be protected from
being hoodwinked by this
type of selling.

ficial fingers have been pain
fully singed by Canadian in
dignation; and as to Mr. John
Diefenbaker's forthcoming
campaign to win back power
we wish only to be included
out.
Nevertheless, the hard real
ity which produced all the
trouble the persistent re
fusal of the Diefenbaker gov
ernment to carry through
with us on vital arrangements
for the Joint nuclear defense
of North America will not
go away.
OUR people are sorry they
had to call attention to
this matter and call at
tention to they did only after
Mr. Diefenbaker had com
pounded years of foot-dragging
by grave misrepresenta
tions of the whole case. But
our people cannot and must
not apologize for the facts of
life in North America. If
anybody is threatening inlru
tion into the affairs of Can
ada, it is not the United Slates
of America but rather the
Union of Soviet Socialist Re
publics. Nor will the real and essen
tial question be altered one
whit by Canadian resentment
or by American efforts to
salve that resentment. The
great question remains, tow
ering high: will Canada now
Join effectively with us in the
joint defense of this continent,
or will she not?
This is an issue as far above
ordinary politics and hurt
feelings as survival is above
pride and protocol.
TO SEEK to extract the ker
nel of absolute justice
from all this is academic.
There is, for example, no
doubt that generally speaking
the United States has long
taken Canada far too much
for granted. But there is also
no doubt, in the mind of one
American columnist who re
members with a certain grate
ful intimacy the valor and
comradeship of the Canadian
troops in the last war, that
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
had not only a right but a
compelling duty to call Mr.
Difenbaker at last to account.
Rusk is, after all. President
Kennedy's principal deputy in
the cold war. And upon him
lies a cruel burden of respon
sibility not only for the Unit
ed States but also for this
good neighboring country,
Canada, so Inextricably bound
de Gaulle. "Charley boy's got
Mac's Scottish temper up,"
one Conservative party mem
ber of Parliament said. Some
Conservative members are
predicting that Macmillan
quietly will seek the advice
of Sir Winston Churchill for
pointers on how to "put de
Gaulle in his place." Since
Churchill, along with the late
President Franklin D. Roose
velt, was no wartime admirer
of de Gaulle, Macmillan
should get some enthusiastic
suggestions as to where to
place the needle. In taking
any steps against de Gaulle,
Macmillan is expected to
work in close cooperation
with the United States, Can
ada, other members of the
commonwealth, and de
S. Whit
with us in a problem of de
fense which is indivisible.
Secretary Rusk's qualified
apology that he is sorry for
the tone of his statement but
cannot go back on its truth
was a manful exercise. Speak
ing bluntly, it was more than
generous.
A ND IT is profoundly to be
hoped that the resulting
outcry will not scare him off
in future from the high duty
of pointing out any persistent
and avoidable weakness in
the western shield, wherever
it may arise and whoever may
feel hurt thereby. Somebody
has got to stand sentinel, and
he is elected to the post of
guard.
It is exceedingly important.
therefore, that no one should
reach the simple conclusion
that Dean Rusk was simply a
bad boy in this episode. For
Mr. Diefenbaker is trying lo
set here a perilous and an in
tolerable precedent. If one
partner in a joint enterprise
cannot complain of the ob
vious failure of another part
ner to deliver on his promises
without being accused of
'meddling," we shall wind up
in a Dad tlx, indeed.
Mr. Diefenbaker's crv of
American "intrusion" into
Canadian affairs is totally
wrong. For these are not
"Canadian affairs" any more
than they are "American af
fairs." They are the joint af
fairs of both countries.
A small, parenthetical irony
In it all is that the same man
Rusk who is often mut
tered at here for being too
gentlemanly and unaggressive
is denounced in this case for
being too aggressive. Some
days you can't win.

THE SICK COMIC
"I can't understand the rise
of those 'sick' comics," said a
man the other day. "They at
tack every
thing, and
they're against
ever ything.
They seem to
take a per
verse pleasure
in turning all
our tradition
al values up
side down."
As a matter of
fact, 1 happened to be reading
the comment of a famous
'sick comic" not long ago.
His bitterness, his cynicism,
his rancor, his iconoc'asm,
were evident in everything he
said.
He was irreligious: "All re
ligions issue Bibles against
Satan, and say the most in
jurious things against him,
but we never hear his side."
He was misanthropic: "All
that I care to know is that a
man is a human being that
is enough for me; he can't be
any worse.
He was contemptuous of the
American success story: "All
you need in this life is ignor
ance, and confidence, and then
success is sure."
Ht mocked our social con
ventions: "Good breeding
coniistt in concealing how
much wt think oi ourselves,
and how little wt think ot
others."
Ht dtspistd our political
system: "Ain't wt got all
tht fools in town on our
idt, ain't that a big tnough
majority in any town?"
He deprtcattd our Amer
ican institutions: "In our
country wt havt those thret
unsptakably precious
thingi: freedom oi speech,
freedom oi conscience, and
the prudence never lo prac
tice either."
Ht attacktd our civic lift:
"In tht first pltet God
made idiots; thia was for
p r a c I i c t; then ht made
school boards."

The United States will find

atomic-powered sub

layed, ostensibly pending a
study into precautions and
compensation for accidents.
But the Japanese people,
meaning the voters, have a
deep-seated revulsion against
atomic weaponry of any sort
that stems back to their ex
periences at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. Some people are
arguing that the Nautilus,
being a warship, and being
atom-powered, is an atomic
weapon, even though it does
not carry nuclear warheads.
The argument may sound

He adds:
"De Gaulle's feeling and

He perverted our moral ax

and avoid it; the immoral
sense enables one to perceive

He expressed contempt for
old age: "Well enough for old

He scorned the pretensions

No Agreement
There is little hope for an
early nuclear test ban agree
ment at the East-West talks
which resume in Geneva Tues
day, Feb. 12. The recent test
ban probe in Washington
which was terminated by the
Soviets, after talks with the
United States and Britain,
gave no indication that the
Russians are prepared to meet
the West's insistence on effec
tive arrangements against
cheating. Furthermore, it
looks as though the Russians
now may want to mark time
to see what happens in the
problem-beset Western camp.
French President Charles de
Gaulle has spotlighted those
difficulties with his go-it-alone
policy for Europe. And
Moscow may want to conduct
a probing operation in Geneva
to see just how deep this
Western rift runs before mak
ing any commitment on tests,

fleet to arrive and square

That period in history was
known as the Pax Brittanica
(the peace of Britain). It was
preceded historically by the
Pax Romana (the peace of

Rome have gone over the hill.
What we have now is pre
sumably the Pax Americana.
QUESTION:
How long will it last?
Both the Pax Romana and
the Pax Brittanica lasted for
generations. Let's hope the
Pax Americana lasts at least
as long.

What of this modern world
which may come to be known
to future historians as the
Pax Americana?
What will it be like?
