Buck 10 Russia Announces New five-Year Plan Moscow - (UF -The Soviet Union has announced It drawing up a new five-year plan aimed at strengthening the nation s military and In dustrial might in the years 1066 to 1970. The official news agency Tass said Kremlin leaders cre ated a new high-level agency to direct the program and "ensure fulfillment of produc tion plans." Co'iSpruiuiHiii SJa'mociatiom THURSDAY, MARCH 14. 113 Danger By At the apparent insistence of the Pendleton bvangelical Ministers both widely recognized tellectual merit have English and literature high school. The novels are John Steinbeck's "East of Eden," and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." The UPI account of the incident concluded with the following paragraph : "The high school administration said the decision (to ban the books) was consistent with high school policy, which holds that literature which may offend parents or students, and whose use is not clearly justifiable, is not to be assigned." e e THIS is a "policy" so patently spineless and ridiculous that one scarcely knows where to begin in scorning it. But, initially, our reaction is one of pity for the administrator who feels so little responsibility for the development of his students' minds as to allow such a policy to be formulated in the first place, much less enforced. Has a book ever been written which would be totally acceptable to all parents and students, which none would somehow find offensive? Pos tulate such a book in your mind, if you can, and ask yourself what would be its intellectual and literary value? What possible contribution could it make to the educational growth of the students? It would be pap, without the slightest possi bility of nourishment THE idea underlying the book-banning is clear and simple : It holds that youne minds must be sheltered and protected in other words, kept ignorant from certain concepts and facts of life. It premis es that selected areas of human experience must be taboo, that some ideas are so dangerous in their insidious potency that we, as adults, dare not let impressionable minds be exposed to them. We realize our position is vulnerable to those who would employ the reductio ad absurdum technique of argument and ask whether we really felt youngsters should be exposed to "every thing." (F COURSE we don't. But we have found that voune Deoole seem to discover new thincrs at just about the time they and seldom before. If educational hide-and-seek must be played, an attitude of relaxed guidance on the part of the adults is perhaps soundest. Those responsible for the banning in Pendle ton lacking depth and confidence and security have allowed themselves to become brittle and frightened. What an example to set. Can't you just see some Pendleton youngsters hiding under the covers at bidden dooks by tiashiignu u.H.B.

It has been widely, though not unanimously, praised in reviews, and hasten nominated for an Academy Award in eight different categories. It is certain to win at least some of them. The movie is based on the best-selling novel by Harper Lee, a book which engrossed and delighted us. , THE plot centers around a widowed attorney, AHiniic TPinnh anA Vila turn Vi1rliAn SnMif (a A J VV1V MU A li V.

One concerns the youngsters' childish curi osity and fright about the pei-son of Boo Radley, a mentally retarded recluse who lives a few doors up the street in an eerily ramshackle house. He hasn't been seen by anyone in years, but there are signs that he may walk about the neighbor hood at night. Naturally, the stories about him draw the interest of the children. The other line is powerful and mature. The father is appointed to defend a young Negro, who has been falsely accused of raping a white woman. His final summation in the courtroom, with a segregated Negro-white audience listening intently, is particularly ine two finch children watch the trial up in the gallery with the Negroes. When it is over, the lower floor clears quickly, with the exception of Finch, who slowly and briefcase. The Negroes As Finch turns to walk out, the Negroes all rise. One of them, a minister, taps Scout on the shoulder, "stand up, child," he says softly, "Your father is passing by. lANY aspects of the production merit real praise. The script (though we regretted some deletions), the dark, moody photography and the fresh, imaginative direction are all of a remark ably high caliber. Scout and Jim are who, to our knowledge, have never appeared in a film before. In our lexicon, it is a compliment to say that their acting completely lacked that un happy, self-conscious quality so common with youngsters before a camera. As Atticus Finch, Gregory Pack is warm, sympathetic and compelling. He is the man patient, calm, wise, a hero with quiet dignity that all children should, but so few have, for a father.

' The Future Is Her To the Editor: The future is here, if the people would demand it. If it is left up to the politicians we are sunk. The masses had better come to life and quick. Most of us have the attitude "Let George do it." Well there are not enough Georges. The Supreme Court deci sion on Rail Road feather bed ding should open a few eyes. You can't blame the rail roads. Under our system you must have a profit or perish, and from reports about 63,000 will lose their jobs. What are those people going to do? They talk about training the unemployed for new jobs. What jobs? If private enterprise is so great, why can't we make it work? Howard K.. Smith present ed over the ABC network Feb. 17, "Another America," Thirty million Americans who exist in poverty and near star vation conditions, while our goverment spends $50 billion for armaments. There are millions of Americans that don't know that conditions like this exist. At the pro gram's end, Smith demand ed that President Kennedy initiate a vast public works program that would be of permanent value, that he utilize his full powers to fight the penny pinchers in Congress, and Insist that mon ey be provided to restore the dignity of these hopeless peo ple. Stop this cold war and our race to the Moon, and we could have a few dollars to take care of our starving mil lions. This economy has been propped up ever since World War Two with this Commu nist poppycock, and wc have had nothing, only one depres sion after another. This civil defense program they are trying to shove down our throats doesn't make sense. They are asking us to resign ourselves to a nuclear war. Walter Lippmann says that shelters are an absolute delusion, I will go along with Lippmann. And as I have said before, all we have to do Is to adjust to the age in which we live and our troubles will be over. "Encyclopedia Americana" says whatever the future of technocracy, one must fairly say that It is the only pro gram of social and economic reconstruction which is in complete Intellectual and technical accord with the age In which we live.

It has been my experience that the older ones will tend to visit with friends and ac quaintances while a c -stonier stands waiting patiently. Re cently I waited on one such clerk, age about 43, for some 20 minutes. I gave up in dis gust and went home without my purchase. Some of these ladies seem to think because they have the experience, and perhaps having been employ ed for several years at a par ticular store, they can be pretty Independent with a customer and get away with' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON v err "r bear the name and address of it, where the younger girl with less experience feels she has to keep on her toes and please the customer or lose her job. Therefore she works harder to please. . As far as experience goes, all of us have to start rome time, and during the war when help was hard to find the merchants were pretty happy to hire these young girls and most of them were pretty hard workers as I re call. I find in the Medford stores there are far more old er women clerks than there are young ones, so it must be that these girls protesting have some grounds for com plaining. Perhaps many of the older ones do need the money badly. So do the girls. Many of them are pretty disgusted when they graduate from high school. It is hard if not impossible to even find an office job, and with no experi ence the stores do not want them. Many of them feel it Is useless to finish high school as it doesn't achieve them much. We hear much bor kids getting into troubles. It is no wonder when they feel so useless and unwanted. I think these older ladies should be required to be ju:'. as cour teous and fast as the ones with no experience. In fact they should be able to be more so with their experi ence. It is true that some of the young girls would not be steady and tend to busi ness, but I think they should all be given t' e chan. to prove themselves and not be turned away because of age or lack of experience as they are Doing, and I also think having to be age 18 before getting a decent job is for the birds. If a girl feels she wants to work and can do so she should be allowed to do so. (Name on File), Eagle Point, Ore. Touriti Promotion To the Editor: An article that appeared in a recent is sue of the Medford Mail Trib une on tourist promotion un der guidance of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, called to mind a long treasured wish for Oregon. You may think It Is a far fetched wish, but I think it is possible for the simple reason that Oregon needs a publica tion of her own. similar to the Arizona Highways magazine, through which her beautiful scenery can be portrayed in color along with her many natural gifts of nature like the wonderful Columbia riv er, enlightening the people of our nation who are looking for what wc have to offer. The editor of Arizona High ways deplores the fact that wc do not have a similar pub lication to theirs, as he has traveled over the state and makes much of our scenery and of the opportunity we are overlooking in not showing it and telling people about our many natural resources, Arizona has made much of what she had. and with the help of the easterners' money she actually transformed the desert Into a land of enchant ment. We, in turn, through the pages of a good publication, cannot only attract thousands of tourists to Oregon, but can also be the means of interest ing eastern capital to invest in the development of Indus try. 1 (eel that Arizona Is in debted to Arizona Highways for what she is today, and if a publication can do for Ore gon anywhere near as much as It did for Arizona, and per sonally I think it could do Strikes Now Sweeping France De Gaulle By JOSEPH W. GR1GG United Prats International Paris - (UPD - The strike wave now sweeping France has presented the most ser ious challenge yet to Presi d e n t Charles de Gaulle's authority. It very well could mush room into the most dangerous domestic crisis he has faced. It started at the beginning of March with what was to have been merely a "token" two-day walkout by the 200, 000 workers in the national ized coal mining industry to press demands for wage in creases. But the govern m e n t re acted toughly. In a decree signed by De Gaulle himself, it requisitioned the miners. Requisitioning of workers In state-run French industries is equivalent to drafting them into the armed services. Fail ure to comply is punishable with loss of jobs and pensions, fines and prison sentences. Most Frenchmen now agree that requisitioning was a ma the writer, although under far more, why wouldn't some organization, one of the state's departments, or one of our colleges, be more than willing to assume the responsibility of promoting a publication that would not only benefit this particular area, but the entire state of Oregon?

Bonn - Among the Euro pean Kremlin ologists, the rather belated publication of N i kita S. K h rushchev's neo Stalinist lecture to the rebellious So viet writers has stirred a clamor of q ucitions. Khrushchev's r e a c tionary views on the Altaa arts were not much more sur prising than Harry Truman's quite comparable views. But it was downright astonishins that Khrushchev sternly told writers that Josef Stalin, de spite all his crimes and faults, was a "good Marxist and a good Communist." Here, in fact, was a remark able reversal of the line laid down at the 22nd Party Con gress in October 186, which culminated in Stalin's re burial in unhallowed ground. Since that Congress, the So viet press has been full of at tacks on those who dared to suggest that Stalin had his good points as well as his bad points. PWERY Soviet school and university textbook has also been rewritten to ex punge the 20th Party Cong ress's wicked-but-constructive judgment on Stalin. And Just alter tne issuance of the schoolbooks painting the old monster all in black, here is Khrushchev asking the writ ers to remember Stalin's fine white patches. This odd symptom of in ternal ferment combines with several other curious signs. At the end of last week, for instance, Pravda published a strikingly curious article on the 7th Party Congress. It pointedly recalled that at this forgotten rally,, "a majority of the members of the Central Committee went over and supported" the wicked, heret ical views of Trotsky against the all-wise Lenin. Such a suggestion bv Pravda, that the sacred Cen tral Committee of the sacred Communist party is not. after all, infallible, is about on a par with an attack on the dog ma of Papal Infallibility in the Osservatore Romano. e e THEN there is the fact that the nertv Iakam' m..tl.. with the troublesome writers. originally scheduled for Jan uary, was inexplicably put off and put off (until last week. Then there is the similar fact that the long-promised new' constitution of the Soviet Union has never been nrn. mulgatcd. Then, too, there is the fact that after months of public use Senator Morse's hi-falutin word fot reporters) have fail ed to report events truthfully, it is because they have to quote so many politicians. MORE from Washington: Tho . could define areas for day light saving time under a bill introduced by Chairman War ren Magnuson. of the Senate commerce committee. Senator Magnuson (from the state of Washington) says he neither supports nor opposes the bill, but merely introduced it at the request of the Interstate Commerce Commission. tE ADDED: "The commission itself is not unanimous In its thinking on the bill, but w are both agreed as to the need tor some additional time legislation . The ICC claims it is often In jected into local controver sies over daylight saving time with no power to resolve them reasonably." Under the bill, the ICC could fix daylight saving time In ANY area from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. I1MMMMMMMM.

All told, some 700,000 workers in state-run Industry are affected in sympathy walkouts of indefinite or lim ited duration. There are signs the unrest may spread to private industry too. The miners, whose month ly pay averages only about $130, are demanding an im mediate 11 per cent boost The government has offered only S.77 per cent, spread over the whole year. f discussions of the Yugoslav style economic innovations proposed by the economist Liberman, the party meeting on industrial and agricultural policy wholly ignored the Liberman theses. Instead, the meeting adopted a very lame compromise proposed by Khrushchev at the last mo ment. All these facts suggest a difficult and "probably an gry" inner debate, in which Khrushchev has not always been the winner. It is more than likely, too, that these facts should somehow be linked to another set of facts suggesting a sharp argument between Khrushchev and the Soviet general staff. AS ALREADY reported in this space, the opening gun was the publication some months ago of a book on the Stalingrad battle, by the Stalingrad front-line com mander, the retired Marshal Yeremenko. Not unsurprising ly, Yeremenko gave Uie lion s share of credit for the victory to that transcendent military genius, N. S. Khrushchev. On the occasion of the re cent anniversary celebrations of the victory, however, the Soviet Defense Minister, Mar shal , Rodion Malinovsky, sharply denied Yeremenko's thesis. Credit for the victory, he said flatly, should go to the general staff of the Red Army. And he even pointed out that the general staff then included the now-disgraced Marshal Zhukov. As for the civilians, Melin ovsky added a bit sniffily, "N. S. Khrushchev and oth ers" had usefully helped to sustain the Stalingrad defend ers' morale. What looks like a reply to Malinovsky later ao peared in a military paper, in the form of a sharp criticism of the new Soviet book on strategic doctrine. The book was attacked for not giving enough emphasis to the Com munist party's leading role in all military matters. f e e WHESE peculiar ' exchanges are thought to point to an- omer isjirusnchev attempt to solve his acute investment- problem by a second cutback in the swollen ranks of the Red Army. This the marshals would of course resist with great stubbornness. The mar shals would then be making common cause with the Khrushchev critics within the party, whose existence is sub- gested by the first set of facts. This in turn perhaps ex plains the unparalleled vic iousness of the recent Chi nese attacks on Khrushchev and the "revisionists." The Chinese would hardly be go ing so far unless they expect a final break in Sino-Soviet party and even state relations or unless they wildly hope ior a cnange oi soviet leader ship and a subsequent Sino Soviet peace agreement. Something seems to be up, again, and just possibly some thing as big as the struggle for power In June 1957. Whether it is big or small, one can hardly doubt there is an inner debate. To which one must add, however, that thus far Khrushchev has dis played an extraordinary knack of having the last word.
