APRIL 22. 1983 The Pope 's Message The encyclical which Pope John XXIII ad dressed to all humanity Easter week has struck a responsive note among millions. Protestants, Jews, Buddhists, Moslems, Communists and athe ists have joined Catholics in approval of the Pope's moving words . . . The feature that sets the Pope's appeal apart from the conventional calls for peace is its gener ous humanitarianism. John XXIH's basic doc trine is that the common humanity which binds all men and all nations is more important than the doctrinal or radical differences which divide them. On these premises, he calls for an end to the arms race, for disarmament under effective con trol, and for voluntary acceptance by all nations of a world law. a THE MOST striking demonstration of the Pope's desire for reconciliation of all man kind is in the encyclical's veiled, but unmistak able, references to Communism. Great historical movements, the Pope de clares, cannot be simply identified with the vague, false philosophical teachings from which they may have originated. These teachings the Pope clearly means Marxism-Leninism re main the same; but the movements themselves may evolve to meet changing historical situa tions. And as these movements evolve, the Pope concludes, they can come to "contain elements that are positive and deserving of approval." What a blow this attitude deals to the ideo logical fanatics on both sides of the doctrinal dividing line who reject all idea of a reasonable compromise and think only of burying their opponents. AT THE core of the Pope's thinking is the real ivutirm rhur in this thprmnnnr-lpar pi-ji mpn must learn to live together lest they all die to gether in the inferno of fusing atoms. To accomplish this, he calls for negotiation, mutual concessions and the understanding of the common interests which unite all of us. This is an inspiring doctrine, the only sane response to the terrible dangers that threaten all life on this planet. It will not be easy to realize this pro gram in a world riddled and hatreds. But it can be done if follow the Pope's example and rise above nation al and doctrinal hatreds that lead only to dis aster. New York Times. The War Babies The Ways and Means Committee of the Leg islature is looking closely at the building pro gram of the state System of Higher Education. The committee must decide how to finance it. It is a big program, biggest in the history of i I j "i rt i. j t?.I- tn.l mLL ; me scaie eysiem oi mgner rjuueauon. mis is because enrollments at tutions of higher education will climb sharply over the next three years and the buildings which the Legislature approves now will be for the coming three-year period.

Here is the editorial: Whatever doubts one may have about the econo my, there is one thing In America that won't go any where but up as far ahead as anyone can see. This is college enrollment, which has been rising at a striking rate in recent years. According to projections released by statisticians of the College Entrance Examination Board, the trend not only will continue but accelerate. In 1D00 about 4 of every 100 children of college age attended college. Today the figure is slightly more than 36 per cent out of a total of 2.8 million in the age group. The Statistician predict that by the school year 11I65-8U, there will be 3.B million in the group and that 41 per cent of them will enroll In college. The big boom Is expected to begin this fall and continue through the fall of 1063. In that two-year period, tile number of students entering college will increase by nearly half a million. Growth will slow somewhat after thai, but by 1069, the number of college entrants 1,8 million -will be double the number in 1039. THOSE predictions are KM!

PetftJleton "So Nice You're Going To Moscow. Perhaps They'll Let You Have Another Look At Those Missiles" Exclusive: How Cuba Looks Today By Arthur Hoppe Macuto, Venezuela - I waited to bring you my ex clusive eyewitness report on How Cuba Looks Today un til I could clear it with the CIA. My country first, I al ways say. But I am now ready to give you a precise, accurate, unbiased, overall picture of exactly how Cuba looks today. It's mostly green, with some patches of brown. And it's far longer than It is wide. The reason I m able to bring you this precise, accu rate, unbiased, overall picture is that Cuba lies smack dab between New Orleans and Venezuela down here in the upper right hand corner of South America. And VIASA, the excellent Venezuelan Air line, saves $132.20 in kero sene for its big 880 jets if it doesn't have to spend an ex tra 20 minutes dctouring around Cuba. "Most days Castro gives us permission to fly over," says Mr. Joe R. Pardo, a VIASA executive. "But some days he says no. Then we got to go around. While Mr. Pardo said he didn't know why Mr. Castro sometimes refused permis sion, I assume it's for aerial safety. I mean there are so many American reconnais sance planes flying over Cuba these days, an airliner might interfere with the flight pat terns. a Whatever, Mr. Castro was in a good mood the day we flew down and thus I'm able to bring you another cxclu- ive eyewitness report. From 30,000 feet. Which I'm sure you've been waiting for. Be cause eyewitness reports on Cuba are very big in journal istic circles these days. And one thing for certain: I vc got the Big Picture.

This could be significant. However, 1 can accurately report that the whole time I observed the Cuban scene, I didn'l see a single bread line.

First of all, that's 83 miles closer than most eye witness reports on Cuba these days. And secondly, I've been studying the market for eye witness reports on Cuba. And, believe me, we'll buy anything.

Laos Fighting The latest outbreak fighting in Laos comes of no surprise to informed ob servers. The question ever since last year's precarious truce was reached has been when, not whether, the shoot ing would begin again. And attempts to reconvine the Geneva Conference which ar ranged that truce are meeting resistance from Britain. London hopes that behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts and pressures may help save the peace in Laos, for any resumption of talks in Gen eva could reopen the entire question of the way things are set up there and could drag on for months. Russia, which was co-chairman with Britain of the first Geneva Conference on Laos, also appears reluctant on new talks. Red China is a member of the Geneva group, and Moscow may be anxious to avoid a confrontation with its estranged ally across the conference table with West ern and neutral observers looking on. But the real problem of Laos, not solved by the truce and vexed by the fresh fight ing, remains: How to make a stable country out of a land that never was a unified na tion to begin with, but a land that happens to be the stra tegic corridor between Com munist China and Southeast Asia. Rival Claims Both the government Con servatives and the opposition Socialists claim victory in last week's local elections in Ja pan. Both could be right. The party that unquestionably JENKINS cided the fate of a proposed four cent a pack cigarette tax which would raise $18 million a biennium. Both finally were passed. The cigarette tax measure has already led a stormy life. It was rejected by a 33-24 vote in Jhe House on April 8, and reconsidered and sent back to the House tax committee the following day. The tax com mittee reacted by sending down a three per cent sales tax bill. The tax committee anticipated correctly that the sales tax would be defeated, but sent it to the House to clear the way for considera tion of the income tax and reconsideration of the ciga rette tax. OMMMMMMM. atat rj0 yOU remember the an cient talc of Finnigin, the rail road brakeman, and his brief report of the derailing of a car in his freight train? It read like this: Off ag in, "On ag in. "Gone ag'ln. "FINNIGIN." That just about describes the career of the cigarette tax in the present session of the Oregon legislature. OEIUOUSLY What about this cigarette tax business? IT S true that Oregon is now the only state in the Union that doesn't have one. That's something of a distinction it is expected to raise about S15 million, which is quite a chunk of money. And it will raise the price of cigarettes, But this must be said for it: You can pay the tax, or vou can QUIT SMOKING the tilings. Or you can smoke a pipe. Or you can roll your own.

Railroad Futurama 1 To the Editor: In a San Francisco address, President John W. Barriger of Pitts burgh & Lake Erie Railroad unveiled his Railroad Futur ama. Our present railroads bear only the same relation ship to the potential super railroads that ordinary roads do to super-highways or im proved waterways to the orig inal channels. At a fraction of the per mile cost of super highways or artificial water ways, railroads can deliver economical, unsub s i d i z e d transportation. Attrition of rail traffic is the result of 50 years of na tional transportation policies punitive towards railroads and promotional towards their competitors. Rigid price con trol has placed a fiscal block ade around the railroad indus try, denying it access to the capital required for its full technological development. President John F. Kenne dy's inspired transportation message proposes to establish equality of opportunity in transportation. Naturally, the beneficiaries of the monstrous political subsidy featherbed of non-rail transport oppose Con gressional enactment of the message. Particularly unhap py are truck and barge inter ests who are required to re linquish the protection of minimum railroad "umbrella rates." K. Fritz Schumacher, Former Santa Fe "Rail". 81 West Grand View ave.. Sierra Madrc, Calif. Whai's Un-American? To the Editor: Someone has said that jumping at conclu sions is about the only exer cise some people get. Whether or not he gets any other, Frank Koch was back with more of that kind in his letter of 416. Because many Americans have been opposed to some of the un-American activities of the HUAC, as have commu- isls al home and abroad for q,uite different reasons, Mr. LCIB lumps mem all together into one reckless "wrecking crew." Then, with marvellous clairvoyance or fust wild "guesstimate he tells us About 95 per cent of the ! American people have tbe same affection, admiration, and respect for our world famous, pro-American 'Com- mittce' as they do for J.

COLLEGE TUITION If I give a hundred dollars, or a thousand dollars, as a contribution to any college of my choice, I am allowed an income -tax deduction. But if I send my child to a pri vate college -thus relieving the public col leges of a fi nancial bur den I am not allowed to deduct a cent. Of all tne inequities in the lax laws (and there are many) this one strikes me as among the most senseless and unjust. The public colleges and uni versities are bursting at the seams, and all the states are heavily pressed to cope with the rapidly expanding school population. If we grant incentives to oil men and farmers and ship pers and other segments of the population, how much more sensible to grant some tax relief to those parents who are putting their children through increasingly expen sive private colleges. e Several such bills hsve been proposed in Congres, and the arguments for them have leemed overwhelm ingly persuasive to me; yet all of them have died in committee, because there is no cohesive group of voters willing or able to pressure their congressmen on the matter. There is no parents' lobby, and Congress is net House as Representative John V. Lindley of New York. "It was a sound proposal, since many careful students of Congressional procedure have long considered that the Judiciary Committee ought to have exclusive control over all criminal statutes, assign ing to a sub-committee on subversive affairs whatever matters in that area needed to be dealt with. "But let it never be for gotten that if it is 'un-American' to accuse without evi dence and slander without proof, then the House Un American Activities Commit tee itself has been repeatedly guilty of un-American activi ties." Arnold Eugene Jenny, Rogue Valley Manor, Medford A Crossroads To the Editor: Higher edu cation is at the crossroads in Oregon. This could very well be the month of decision -the month when the State de cides whether it is going to fettle for mediocrity or con tinue to move toward excel lence. The Board of Higher Edu cation submitted a budget to the Governor and the Legis lature which would make it possible for our colleges and universities to cope with in creased enrollments and still provide a high quality educa tion. This budget will not be ap proved unless the citizens of the State make it clear that they are willing to pay the necessary taxes to insure a high quality program in high er education.

Education it the biggest business in America today. More is spent on our schools, from kindergarten up through colege. than on any other segment of our domestic economy. A huge share of our taxes, at iha town and county and slate levels go lo pay for the building and operation of the school system. Those parents who send their children to private colleges are paying twice and sometimes three limes as much as those who take advantage of state and mu nicipal colleges. In addition, they are substantialy reduc ing the population (and therefore the expenses) in the public colleges. i '. It would seem only just that a tax deduction be grant ed for such tuition; not the whole amount, perhaps, but certainly the difference be tween the amount paid to the private college and the amount that would have been paid to the public one. If we are to encourage edu cation at the higher levels and our national need is great in these areas-parents should not be penalized for sending their children to relatively small, top-grade, and expen sive colleges. More of this, indeed, should be encouraged, to take some of the burden off the im mense, sprawling and deper sonalized state universities. Any rational system of tax re form would include college tuitions on its priority list for the national welfare. Joint Ways and Means Com mittee and indicate Uieir will ingness (1) lo pay the neces sary taxes in order to pro vide higher education with an adequate budget and (2) to ' support a program for taking care of the emergency need for academic buildings through current appropria tions or by bond borrowing. It is likewise important for similar letters to be addressed to the citizens' own represen tative in both Houses of tho Legislature. We urge that you write such letters at once.
