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

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.

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

a film before. In our lexicon, it is a compliment to
say that their acting completely lacked that un

Touriti Promotion
To the Editor: An article
that appeared in a recent is

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

our nation who are looking
for what wc have to offer.

ways deplores the fact that

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.

pages of a good publication,

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.

All told, some 700,000

signs the unrest may spread
to private industry too.

The government has offered

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.
