The Salem Capital a series of thoughtful articles about the problems of Lincoln county, which has its problems. The unemployment rate is high; sewage disposal is minimal, and it seems that every third business house is for sale, closed, or just simply deteroriat ed beyond redemption. Some cynical souls say that the only thing that would save the area fire. There is some justification for this view. For the people who have inhabited Lincoln coun ty, which has some of the most spectacular sea scapes along the whole coast, have subordinated the greatest natural asset they have scenic beauty to making the almighty dollar. And they are now strangling THE prosperous places are those which have capitalized on the beauties of the land and of the ocean. A case in point is the place where we are staying, "King Surf," just north of Depoe Bay, where the grounds are landscaped, where trees are allowed to remain, and where greens ward is encouraged. The price is relatively steep $15 per night for the three of us but people these days are willing to pay for what they want And few in deed, these days, are going to stop at a run down, dirty, unpainted "cabin camp," which boasts of "electric facilities," and which features a black, dirt-strewn parking lot, and dilapidated shacks and stripped down old cars. Ihe hills in Lincoln cut over, and this apparently in the days before uregon law required retorestation.

Lincoln county, and more specifically the 20 "miracle miles," is the strongest argument we can think of for planned development, for the employment of our uod-given brains to, prevent the description of the God-given beauty of which 1 .11. 1 1 we nave, nisioricany, Deen so careless. the argument is so self-evident, to us, at least, that the other side the cut-over, build-a-shack, get - the - dollar-no-matter-what-happens school of thought simply cannot look a fact in tne I ace. The more we think about it, the more furious we get. The despoilers must NOT be allowed to tave over our beloved Oregon as they have in Lincoln county. THERE is an insidiousness about the oceanside.

Gold Reserve To the Editor: "Daring" new moves by U.S. to ease pressure on the dollar." This was bannering Finance Week in the last issue of U.S. News and World Report. Their staff-writers gather such news at the source: Fed' eral Reserve board, U.S. de- partment of the treasury, U.S. department of commerce. In subheads we find: U.S. Cold reserve has shrunk from $22.9 to $13.9 billion. Foreign claims have increased from $14.9 to $21.9 bllllon.Thus, claims against gold exceed the gold stock by $3.8 billion, and as backing for currency and deposits, U.S. is required to hold at least $12 billion in gold, so the potential short age in the gold reserve has reached a new high: . $17.6 billion. The report goes on to state how the "Treasury in recent months, has borrowed a total of 629 million dollars' worth of foreign currencies by sell- Ing new securities to foreign governments." Also in the bat tle of the dollars is the Fed eral Reserve system which has arranged to borrow ud to $1.1 billion from central banks abroad. This is under reciprocal setups that appear to use $10.3 million of its Belgian francs to buy up a surplus of dollars in the Na tional Bank of Belgium, then as the Belgian demand for dollars increased, the Reserve repurchased those francs with dollars. All this is much like th Individual far from home writing a check with the hoDe of beating it back home to raise funds to meet it.

Working Women To the Editor: Referring to recent correspondence con cerning the susceptibility of an employer to hire an ex perienced older woman rather than the younger inexneri. enced. Of course, that sounds familiar for he naturally is ininxing oi his own selfish interests. On the other hand, there are jobs available to the inexperienced, but if an em. ployer can secure the services oi an experienced woman at a low salary acceptable, then he is fortunate. Salaries are generally low here. A younger woman has mucn to otter an employer. There is no age limit in the business world in this day and age. Jobs are available for all of us in certain fields. Again, in my opinion, if an employer is able to find some one who will agree to work at a small salary, broken hours, and have a woman (no age limit) who has a back ground of experience (and transportation) then he, in deed, is benefited. On the other hand, if it is only ap pearance and glamour he is searching for, and feels it win araw more customers perhaps, then naturally the younger woman would be prefered, but she could be come etiictent and experi enced in the lone- run. Some places prefer younger "u.ncii, oeauty, piUs brains. etal., so do not become too aiscouragea or alarmed.

Bunche. the UN undersecretary who was the architect of the uneasy, 13- year-old Palestine truce agree ment, was sent to Yemen earlier this month by Secretary-General Thant While Yemen has been a member of the organization since 1947, Bunche was the first UN of ficial ever to visit it. He found strange things. He was welcomed at Tail airport by throng of thou sands, chewing narcotic leaves. Animal spirits, mob psychology and the exhillr- aung green leaves produced such a frenzy that Bunche and his escorts were in personal danger. It took three hours for his officially-protected car to make a normal half-hour trip from the airport to the city. Later, Bunche was greeted Dy a contingent of sheikhs. each of whom exercises abso lute authority over his own band of nomads.

Elmer L. An dersen pondered today wheth er to give up and let Demo crat Karl Rolvaag have the Minnesota governor s chair. Key Republicans ure-ed An- dersen to fight - to appeal to the state Supreme Court for a special run-off election. A cry went up from Dem ocrats and Republican Mayor ueorge j. vavoulis of St Paul for Andersen to step asiae gracefully and let Rol vaag move from his "broom closet" office in the capitol basement into the plush exec utive suite. Andersen, who holds of fice under state law until successor qualifies, huddled with his attorneys and said 'I will have further comment in the afternoon." One of the reasons both parties are contesting the elec tion so Intensely and bitter ly is that Minnesota's first four - year gubernatorial term is at stake. A recent consti tutional amendment increased tne term from two years. Andersen won in the origi nal canvass after the Nov. f election by 142 votes. But Rol vaag, former lieutenant gov ernor, demanded a recount. died on the federal level. The inability or unwlllina-- ness oi our people to try to solve local problems at the local level and state problems at the state level only invites a leaeral solution. One should not criticize "federal inter. vention" without admitting at least in private that most federal efforts have arisen from neglect at the state and local levels. In this way, state and local problems become national problems. This is a good point to bear in mind in evaluating the present interest among Ore- gomans in revision of the state constitution. The pur pose oi revision ts to re- establish the checks and bal- ances of traditional democra tic government and to elimi nate some of the divided re sponsibility that makes effec tive government Impossible.

LISTENING rOR ECHO Don Marquis once remark ed that publishing a volume of verse is like tossing a rose petal down the Grand C a n- yon and lis tening for an echo. Writing a daily col- column of this sort gives one much the same feeling, One knows earn. that it is read - the many argumentative let ters alone attest to that - but whether it really changes any minds or patterns of behavior seems dubious most of the time. ; : , .,- Yet, the rewards, when they come, are gratifying. I cannot refrain from mention ing a recent piece of mine about the pressures put on college students - mostly on tne -boys - by their parents. It was a subject I felt strong ly about and was familiar with. Parents from all, parts of tne country responded imme diately with the identical re- action: the piece made them realize that, they had been pressuring their boys at col lege, and they resolved to change their attitudes. They had been trying to relive their own lives through their sons, and this can be done, if at all, oniy disastrously. By a coincidence, as these gratifying letters began earning in. I was reading the new paperback edition of the book. "They Studied Man," by Kardlnar and Pre ble, dealing with the great scientific and cultural fig ures of the last hundred years, from Darwin through ' Freud. - - In soma prefatory bio graphical material about Darwin - who undoubtedly affected the scientific, so-, del and cultural history of the world more than any man of the 19th century, ' the. authors devoted a wry paragraph to his youth and his schooling. "For the first 22 years of his life,", they wrote, "Dar win seemed well en his way to fulfilling the prophecy of his father that 'You cars for nothing but shooting, dogs, and rat-catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and your family.' "Ha learned 'absolutely no thing' at Dr. Butler's school in Shrewsbury, withdrew from the study of medicine at Edinburgh, and was only a mediocre theological student- at Cambridge. His only real interasls during these years were collecting insects and shooting." . Darwin came from the mn distinguished and cultivated family, on both sides. But he was not a bit interested in the law, in medicine. In th ministry, in the humanities. The world of nature fascln ated him; and in that day, the word "naturalist" was hardly respectable. - His voyage on the "Bea. gle," which changed the cul tural history of the whole world, almost didn't take place. His father was against the plan, and even thmmh Darwin was 22 he submitted to his father's wish - until a respected uncle accidentally .ay.- ltd. "MOTHERIII CAN'T YOIJ GET DADDY TO KEEP i.

The "fail, ure" in every school and every subject finally found what he liked to do - and did it better than any man before him. In the Day's News r 'HANK JINKINS From Costa Rica: ' :'. President Kennedy and the chief executives of six middle American nations reached an agreement on what- to do about Cuba. Their findings from two days of discussions of economic issues and meant of curbing Red infiltration from Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime were wrapped up in what is described as an historic eight-page .Declare tlon of Central America. Article No. 1 of the decli ration reads:. "It is essential to reinforce measures to meet subversive aggression originating in focal points of communist agitation which Soviet Imperialism may maintain in Cuba, or ANY OTHER PLACE IN AMER ICA." IT'S A GOOD beginning. It recognizes FACTS. The grim No. 1 fact of the situation that seems to be shaping up in the Western Hemisphere is that the Soviet Union is preparing to make of Cuba an advanced post from which communism can be s p re a d throughout Latin America. rpHE RUSSIANS apparently pulled their offensive mis siles out .of Cuba. But the TROOPS they sent to Cuba are remaining there. It seems to be agreed that there are at least 17,000 of them. All ef forts to get them out have fail ed so far. What are they doing there? The natural conclusion is that their purpose is to make Castro's Cuba so strong that Castro can only be thrown out by ALL OUT WAR led by the United States. When all out war starts, no one can ever tell when or how it will be stopped. WORLD War 1 started with the killing of an Austrian archduke down in the Bal kans. It spread from there. World War III could start from an attack on Castro's Cuba. Crafty Old Kroosh probably reasons that we won't take the chance of start ing World War III by going to war against Castro. AT ANY RATE, his purpose seems to be to make of Castro Cuba an outpost from which communism can be spread to Latin America. Not all at once, of course. A little at a time. It he can keep all of Latin America suspicious of the United States, he will have made a lot of progress toward the ultimate communlzation of all of the Western Hemis phere south of the Rio Grande. SO tt may be that in Costa Rica a promising start has been made toward lining up ALL OF LATIN AMERICA against communism. Let s hope so.
