The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letter submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words.

In fact the contrary is often the case. knowledge that if stock (do mestic or wild) cannot be bred they go to market, oth erwise you cannot improve your herd. Simple math will prove the commission right. Put 1000 doe, still having ample game feed, put 100 bucks in same area and they will multiply, approximately double the fol lowing year. You may kill 100 doe still having ample game and breeding stock. But if you take the same fenced area and same amount of deer - Thanks To the Editor: I wish to express my thanks to the Tribune as well as to the many people attending our first organizational meeting of the Rogue Valley Aquari um Society, held in my home in Central Point Sunday, March 24. Too, for the wonderful co operation shown us by the local chapter of the Central Point Jaycees, Gay Hallett. And Warren Hull, of the American Legion Post, in an swering our call for the chairs we so badly needed. Wayne Beattie, 40 South Second st., . Central Point, Ore. Commission It Right To the Editor: This is a let ter written in good faith con cerning the Oregon State Game commission and some of the so-called "sportsmen" and their clubs. These clubs and sportsmen are continually knocking the commission and the well known doe season, claiming this is the reason for deer shortage. In the first place states back east have had success on the same type of method and control. In the second place,-15 or 20 years ago we had approximately one-third the human popula tion that we have today. The migrating deer will not inhabit the area if there is not sufficient wild life feed. TTiis brings up another sore point-the so-called free stock range. This sure does cut down on the deer feed, which '15 or 20 years ago was not needed by ranchers. I know of acres and acres of govern ment land that now feed cat tle and sheep until there is very little food left for deer. Getting back to the old gripers (sportsmen clubs). One buck is good for 20 doe per season. One doe is good for only one buck in season, but if she doesn't get that buck she is drag. It is common kill 100 bucks - what do you have? a depleting herd. - My hat is off to the game commission in this respect. I suggest the sportsmen and their clubs clean their own back yard and in their own areas. (Name on File), Central Point, Ore. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27. 1963 Media Ownerships To the Editor: A U.P.I, dis patch in the S.F. Chronicle datelined Washington, March 14. concerned the House ami trust sub-committee inquiry into concentration of owner ship of news' media. On the subject Emanuel Cellar (Dem.- N.Y.) asked Chairman Minow of the Federal Communica tions commission if he consid ered significant findings that "three newspaper chains own 45 dailies, 25 magazines, 10 AM radio stations, 7 FM sta tions, 12 TV stations, 2 press services, several photo serv- Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF- ONCE UPON A TIME there was a college professor who was considered the world's greatest authority on fish. He knew the name of every species of fish, probably, in all tne world, unlortunately, he could NOT remember the names of the boys in his classes. Aware that he was winning the reputation of an eccentric, he vowed one fall to memorize the name of every newly registered freshman. It was a project, however, he soon had to abandon. For he discovered that every time he remem bered the name of a freshman, he forgot the name of a fish! The owner of a spanking new pleasure boat was not averse to female companionship on his moonlight cruises. The way he'd lure a debutante aboard was to assure her, "You'll be crazy about my new boat Incidentally, I wonder if you know that I named it after you." No girl could resist a pitch like that! It was only when she saw the boat tied up at the dock that she realized she had been had. The letters on the stern read "AFTER YOU." . An avant-garde poet had a thin volume of his poems published some months ago. Asked last week how the book was selling, he admitted, "Not so good.

Cellar later identified the three groups as the Hearst, Scripps - Howard, and S. I. Newhouse organizations. The N.Y. Times had a re port on this investigation also. It reported that the investiga tion states there were 80 com munities where the only paper owned the only radio station; in four communities the sole radio station, TV station, and newspaper were all in the same hands. Cellar noted, "Only 3 per cent of the cities in the U.S. had genuinely com petitive daily newspapers, sep arately owned and published, editorially independent, and that in 1909 there were 689 cities with daily paper com petition, today only 52." In the Oregon Journal, a Newhouse organ, there was a blackout on this news except that they quoted Stanford Smith, American Newspaper Publishers Association general manager, as saying, ". . . More media voices compete for the attention of the U.S. public today than ever before." How absurd can absurdity be? Frank Crum, White City, Ore. era have failed to report events truthfully. Be that as it may-I believe it is better that we do not know the truth if by keeping us informed, our enemies are also in the know. We have got to trust our leaders, and the closer mouthed they are, the more our enemies are kept guessing. If they guess we are able to be "firstest with the mostest," perhaps they'll be less cheerful about hating us. At least, they can have the pleasure of hating us quietly. When they tell untruths about us, I think we should disregard it entirely, pretend not to hear it. Such actions on their part shows a very crude, ignorant nature. If they aren't capable of friendship, we could follow Christ's meth od of wiping their dust off our feet. I am remembering that it's maple sugar time back home. Then I had 10 read of the dis astrous weather back there, and I say "Hurrah for Ore gon." Be happy. Pearl Spackman, Jacksonville, Ore. Deliver Us To the Editor: Some dramas in real life draw upon our concern for fellow humans so deeply that efforts to put them out of mind seem unsym pathetic, unloving, and cruel. One of those is the recent epi sode sprung upon us which was the tragedy when two women's lives were nearly terminated in Medford. Brief ly the report as heard: Ages 29 and 36; a bottle of wine; a battle of wine wits; a sui cide pact; a tragic fact; a phone call; a hurried police visit; slashed wrists; blood flowing; an ambulance; two hospital entrants; two sobered women; a sobered public; a sobered grocery market seller of wino wine. How sober did he get? How sober will the imbibers get? How sober will the public get? Were those two women solely to blame in that near tragedy? God gave us all in His word some vital com mands and facts: "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, ... at the last it Ditetn like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is rag ing: and whosover is deceived thereby is not wise. We remember, Mr. Editor, the ads sing of the "virtues" of wine and beer to make us "sociable jolly good fellows." Our highly advertised grocery markets sell it in their "saloon department." Sure, it's easy to get, "looks and tastes good." If the market that sold this serpent-bite wine is sorry, they haven't said so publicly. We have heard them say, "People want it, and if I don't sell it someone else will." Cain said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Another said, "Who makes himself the motive for another's fault is guilty of the same." Can we conclude that the Ill-gotten filthy lucre gain from its sale is a controlling factor? When, Mr. Editor, will the public get sober enough to rise up en masse against the hydra-headed monstor of in iquity, the liquor traffic-even sold in our groceries? And when will some honor able principled Christian men build a sizeable market we aren't ashamed to enter; or to send our children for fear lest they learn to think, from the presence of the wine and beer compartment, that it's all right to drink, get muddled, agree on suicide pacts, etc., etc.? - and the etceteras are dark. Deliver us, Lord, from evil. H. R. Bulman, Route 4, Box 316A, Medford Omnes Cognosco To the Editor, and In hie erudite side kick, the Sage of Barneburg Hill; he who says in effect, "Omnes Congnosco," "You ignorant denizens of the Oregon hinterlands, keep si lent when Caesar speaks." When Miss Streed cited tes timony from a former Russian officer of the NKVD, Mr. Jenny likened it to calling on the devil to certify to the char acter of a Christian saint. Per haps Mr. J. has not had suf ficient experience with Chris tian saints and the devil to know that sometimes the devil inadvertently witnesses to saintly character. Pilate, speaking of Jesus, whom he condemned to be crucified, said, "I find no fault in him." Likewise, the high priests, who demanded the crucifixion, said, "He saved others, himself he cannot save." Yes, he saved others, but he could not save himself without belying the principle of his willing sacrifice. If we are to discount all the testimony of former commu nists because of what they were before they turned to the truth, how great will be our loss of knowledge of com munists and their ways. As to the Russians who are visiting the United States un der the guise of Russian Orth odox priests, there are some questions and answers. When the Russian Orthodox sought admission to the World Coun cil of Churches, some ques tions were asked. The Rev. Frederick Brown Harris, chap lain of the U. S. Senate, gives us some of their answers, both from their spoken and written answers. 1. "The noble and truly hu man aims of the Soviet regime we sincerely recognize as es tablished by God and expres sing the will of the people. Our church calls upon all its faithful children honestly to submit to the regime in all things." (This from a regime that denies the existence of God.) 2. "The United Slates inter fered in the internal affairs of the Korean people. Any inter ference in such family affairs can be prompted only by self ish quest for advantage. The Rusian Orthodox Church con demned this intervention and the inhuman annihilation of the peaceful population of Ko rea by the American Air Forces who disseminated Col orado beetles and resorted to the use of bacteriological weapons." 3. "We condemn certain foreign circles (the U. S.) for attempts to destroy the peo ple's democracy in Hungary." 4. "Capitalistic America, the trans-Atlantic octopus, is try ing to fasten its greedy tenta cles around the whole globe . . . The freedom of the West ern democrats is but liberty to rob, coerce and slaughter." These are the people for whom Mr. Jenny and others like him, have warm words of commendation and brother hood. In contrast, there are only condemnation and ridi cule for the poor deluded par anoic right enders such as Streed, Howard, Shafer, Pow ell and all Conservatives. What a strange way to fight communism. L. G. Weaver, 301 Haven St., Medford. A 5 LUNCH ON BEATS Portland, Maine - IUPD - Po liceman have been ordered either to bring their lunches or dine at restaurants on their beats. The new edict was is sued Tuesday because some patrolmen had been abandon ing their posts for a half hour to lunch at home. NATHAN LEOPOLD CITED Washington - IUPD - Nathan Leopold, 1924 Chicago "thrill killer," has been cited by the National Science Foundation for research in the social sci ences.
