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

scapes along the whole coast, have subordinated
the greatest natural asset they have scenic
beauty to making the almighty dollar. And

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.

means in this case, as in the case of relatively
unspoiled Jackson county, planning, zoning, and
the regulation of commercial and industrial
development so that it will not spoil the country
side to a point where it no longer has its own
primeval attractions.
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 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.
One can have an anertif before breakfast, and
not have a single feeling of guilt about it. A mar

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.

Minnesota Governor

Key Republicans ure-ed An-

One of the reasons both

Don Marquis once remark

yon and lis
tening for an
echo. Writing
a daily col-
column of this
sort gives one
much the
same feeling,
One knows

- 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

scientific and cultural fig
ures of the last hundred
years, from Darwin through

affected the scientific, so-,
del and cultural history of

paragraph to his youth and
his schooling.
"For the first 22 years of
his life,", they wrote, "Dar

of his father that 'You cars

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

Bunche is optimistic. Ha
told Thant that UN force,
or presence, is not needed to
preserve the peace in Yemen.
He believes mutual agree
ments among Saudi Arabia,
Yemen and Britain not to in
terfere in each other's affair,
will do the trick.

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.
