Twenty-two Medford high school students attended a community clinic here yester day and provided moat of the suggestions for community betterment to come out of lite session. Black Becomes Gray Those readers who, over the years, have noted our strong advocacy of air pollution control, might be asking why, this year, this column has not blasted the smudge smoke which hangs like a gray pall over the valley these cold mornings. The answer is contained in the fact that the pall of smudge smoke IS gray, and not black. Not too many years ago the smudge smoke (if newcomers can be pursuaded to believe this) was far worse than anything we have experi enced this season, or last either, for that matter. THE orchardiste are trying, really trying, at great cost to themselves, to eliminate as much of this nuisance, this costly and dangerous bane ot housewives and whose with chronic bronchial conditions, as they can. The number of open pot burners is going down; the number of lazy flame and return stack heaters, which produce less smoke, is in creasing. This is a voluntary urogram, designed to eliminate the last of the worst offenders over a five year period, now in its third year. It has cost the orchardists dearly, too. And the fact that most of them almost all have voluntarily gone along with the project is a credit ;o them. 117E DO not foresee the day when .smudge smoke will be wholly eliminated from the cold spring mornings. But progress has been made, so much progress, in fact, that one is led to hope that within the next two years, the smoke will be even a thinner gray than it is today. Perhaps, just perhaps, some new breakthrough will occur which will allow the orchardists to protect their valuable crops without dirtying the environment at the same time. But don't count on it. Meanwhile we can recall that as much as we all hate the gray and noisome stuff, the orchard- ists hate the necessity even more, because it costs them large chunks of money which they nisime to see go up in smoiie as Datliy as we dislike the smoke itself.

"Pinprick exile Cuban raids upon Soviet shipping In Cuban waters, and upon the shore positions ot Castro himself, have got to slop, for all these reasons: "1. They arc wholly ineffectual and serve only lo help entrench rather than to weaken Fidel Castro. They permit him lo present himself to the Cuban people as their protector from 'foreign attack.' and beyond doubt will retard rather than advance that hoped-for day when the Cuban people will have had enough of him, "2. They are both filially weak unci fatally irre sponsible. There will be no getting rid of Castro, In a hMVily armed Island fortress, by small and gallant but also pointless sorties against a ship here and there, a coastal position there and yonder . . . "3. They embarrass the conduct of the foreign policy of the United Slates by its only rightful con ductor, the U.S. government ...

Idealism and sentiment aside, the realities of the matter command more respect than were accorded them by Mr. Nixon. E. A. Democratic Abuse TV "Report' To the Editor: On their TV's Sunday night, April 21, the people of Southern Ore gon watched the United Na tions Armed Forces blow the Republic of Katanga to bits. Much of the murder, the rape, the torture, Hie senseless slaughter, and the unspeak able, Indescribable atrocities and inhumanities was soft pedalled, or not shown at all. Still the film shocked me to the depths of my being. And all the more so, for this was done In my name with my lax money. Done AFTER UN Commanders had faithfully promised President M o i s c Tshombc not lo interfere ill Katanga affairs. Troops, military equipment, and other war needs were flown BWlftly into the Congo via U.S. Air Force transport until a tremendous, brutal war machine was built up, then, suddenly witli terrible swiftness, this armed might of inconceivable strength, en couraged and assisted by the United Stales of America, struck Katanga a treacherous, savage blow. And that was just the beginning of fierce, unbelievable, I n h u m a n de struction and slaughter. And now the anti-Commu nist Republic of Katanga has fallen. Her great anti-Communist. pro-Western leader, Moise Tshombc, Christian ad vocate of God-given human rights, liberties and freedoms lias had lo surrender. And a freedom loving people have been brutally subdued by the tyrants of the international criminal conspiracy in con trol of the UN. Why? Because they were against Conimu Ism and desired lo be free. For the first time I'm an gry, REALLY angry. Are we Americans going to wail un til this United Nations colos sus destroyer finally gets around lo giving the Ameri can people the "peace" troat inenl too? Or do we have the "guts" lo lay the law down to our Congressmen and Senators now? And tell them lo get us OUT of the United Nations?

Washington - The wonder- tiling about Washington is the way il never changes. It al ways gives you a sense of se curity to find, no matter how long you've been away, that everything is si.. I the same Tlte Capitol is still enduring, the monuments are still gleaming, the flags are still waving and Senator Gold water is still attacking Cuba. I guess there's nobody who objects more violently to Mi-. Castro s dictatorship than the Senator although, of course, everybody objects violently to dictatorships. Except maybe the Senator. "1 don't object ! to a dictatorship as Violently ! as some people do." he says, j "because 1 realize that not all people in this world are ready for democratic processes, in fact, very few arc." At first I thought maybe this confusion was just a bat tle fatigue. After all, the Senator's been on the of fensive against Cuba for all these years and he hasn't g van crossed the Potomac. But then I ran into the famous Washington political expert. Mr A. Reliable Source (Un iinpeachable's younger broth er), who explained the whole thing. 1 Mr Source, shouldn't we object to all dictatorships? A-Oh my, no. That would Q-Do the people differ, loo? A - Drastically. Those who live under good dictators arc ignorant, lazy, lovable people unready fur self-government. While those under bad dicta tors are intelligent, energetic, oppressed people yearning lo be free. Q-What about freedom of speech? A-Bad dictators stamp it out because they fear the truth. Good dictators can't al low it because they fear a baft dictator might take over and stamp it out. Q What about foreign policy? A Bad dictators lust lo con quer the world. Good dicta tors only wisli tt retake what is rightfully theirs. Q - Well, thank you, Mr. Source. But it's awfully com plex. Isn't there some single simple method of distinguish ing the good dictators from the rest? A-Yes. They're the ones on our side. gressman Ult's Bill out of Committee to the floor of the House.

O Editor's note: We happened to see the film mentioned above. II was one of the worst examples of slanted and misrepresentations! prop aganda we've ever seen, with scenes out of context, atroci ties (which admittedly did happen, some months ago) ex aggerated and emphasized, and the historical context of the U.N. presence in the Con go grossly distorted or ignor ed.

Intra-Mural Squabble To the Editor: This is an "off year," that is, no general election is scheduled, and poli ticians are supposed to re lax, let incumbents, especially freshmen like Bob Duncan, iiave a honeymoon before the slings and arrows start flying next year. Generally, I'd say this is in the best interests of both politicians and voters. This, however, is the year of decision for Hie Dunes Park. I have criticized, and will continue to criticize. Bob for his inadequate, hardly- worth-enacting Oregon Dunes National Seashore Park bill. And I have strongly endorsed Senator Neuberger's bill be cause it includes a large enough area for necessary de velopment. Now I find myself about to criticize Bob publicy on a po litical matter of the sort I never had lo deal with in my four years as the Fourth Dis trict Congressman, that is, on a patronage appointment. The Democrats took over the na tional administration after I was defeated in 1960. I feel I must speak up be cause of editorials like the one in the Illinois Valley News which you reprinted, with approval. April 14. That editorial unjustifiably reflects on Marv Madden's abilities. It says that Bob Duncan ignored the Central Committee selection and ap pointed "a man he fell would do the job better." which is nol. repeat not. t lie fact at all You and the Cave Junc tion editor should read Bob's letter of March 38. 1963. to Jean Mills. You will find there only praise for Marv's ability and integrity. On April S, 196;!. Bob wrote lo Marv that his decision Lippmann to say what ban policy sounded like ready to go of the Pres ident, Secre tary Rusk and Senator Keat ing was that there is sub stantial agree in e n t about what the United States should and should n o t do. It is hard Mr. Nixon's Cu would be. He a man who was to war. But all he actually said was th.it he wanted the Cuban exiles to make hit-and-run raids. Senator Keating, who is the most conspieous of the crit ical opposition, began by saying that "il is foolish lo pretend that there are easy answers to the Cuban prob lem." lie did not pretend. Then, ill his speech, he admit ted that he agrees with the main theses of our present Cuban policy. He is opposed to an invasion. He is opposed to a blockade. He is opposed to hit-and-run raids mounted from American soil. He is in favor of "greater stress on non-niililary measures," he wants to exert increasing economic pressure so that the Soviets "will be driven to the conclusion that the price of maintaining a base in Cuba is too high." ing; like t he President he, too would deal with Cuba by sur veillance, containment, isola tion, economic pressures and propaganda. There is no doubt that at least for some time to come the Kennedy-Keating policy will leave the Soviet troops 90 miles from Florida. This is an affront to our pride. Not since Napoleon III put French troops into Mexico to en throne and support the Em peror Maximilian has any thing like this happened so close to us. In the end, the French troops went away. But. because there was no prudenl alternative, Lincoln put up with the Bonapartist troops for several years. How long must we put up with the Russian troops? The honest answer is that we must put up with them until they can be gotten rid of by meas ures short of nuclear war. Here is the sticking point in the argument with Governor Rockefeller and Mr. Nixon. They sound, they intend to sound, as if they know a way lo gel rid of the Russian troops promptly without waging nuclear war. die East and the Congo is Si. 6 million and Belgium's is S3. 8 million. Since Belgium wants to ac . cept a major role in the re- training of the Congo army a development favorable to Belgian economy through re demption of the country's prestige among the Congolese - a payment from Brussels is expected soon. Belgium prob ably will bargain on the basis of damages fuffcred by its nationals and installations in the Congo. There appeared little chance that France would pay anything on the SI 4 1 million it owes for the Con go. France is up to the minute on all its other U.N. pay ments. Diplomats here have been spreading broad hints of a relaxation of de Gaulle's at titude toward the United Na tions. They sec no chance that he will relent and pay up his share of the Congo military expense. But French diplo mats have been sending up trial baloons to the effect that Paris will pay the equiv alent of its military share to help finance the Congo's civil rehabilitation. The catch is that France, whatever it does, is legally liable for the $14 million it owes for the mili tary operation. Dc Gaulle is said to have assured Thant that whatever t h c developments here, France will continue (he eco nomic aid to the Congo it gave voluntarily even before the United Nations was established. 1M-I1S is tile same story which tile administration is tell ing. Senator Keating's differ ences arc not in the sub stance of the text, but in the editing, Hie typography, the layout and the captions. The against Marv "is not meant to reflect unfavorably on you in any way." You and the Cave Junction editor say that you are "bemused" over this "intramural squabble." I say, get your facts straight and don't publish or re-publish an editorial with a grossly er roneous premise. The truth is that Mrs. Mar vin (Marge) Madden was my Jackson county campaign manager in the primary last year and that Marv supported my candidacy. This kind of fact frequently is given weight in patronage decisions! Bob doesn't have to do any favors for persons who supported an opponent. But, and here is where he and I part company again, he should have made this clear lo Marv and the Central Committee officers before the vote was taken in tlte Central Committee as to the recommendation. Why have all the battle if Bob is going to reject one of the par ticipants if he wins? I agree with Bob that he is not bound to accept the Central Committee's recom mendation. When, however, he chooses not to follow its recommendation il seems to me that his reasons ought to be related to the nominee's capability or character. Charles O. Porter. 858 Pearl st., Eugene.

Medford WHAT is this prompter way to make the Russians go away from Cuba? They do not tell us, but the most rea sonable interpretation of what they say is that the prompter way is not to make war, but to threaten war. Both Gover nor Rockefeller and Mr. Nix on have avoided saying plain ly what they do mean. But if what they sound like has gen uine meaning, it is that they believe the United States can deliver an ultimatum which the Soviet Union will bow to. If this is not what they mean, what in the name of common sense do they mean with all their big words? If they arc prepared to be so bold with the Russians, they ought to be bold enough lo talk plainly to their fellow Americans. 1VHE Rbckefeller - Nixon pos ition appears then lo be that Cuba can be liberated by ordering the Soviet Union to withdraw from this hemi sphere and lo stand by pas sively while we blockade Castro and arrange for a re placement of Castro's govern ment. If this is what they have in mind, they arc making an enormous guess. For nobody can possibly know that the Soviet Union would surrender its whole position in Cuba as it surrendered its offensive weapons last October It is tiie supreme folly in the nu clear age to drive a nuclear power into a corner. And if the Soviet Union refused to bow to the ultimatum, ail this would do for us would be to make us look like fools. The President of the United States cannot play with an Ultimatum to a government like that of the Soviet Union. He cannot use an ultimatum unless he is prepared to go I through with it and begin a i war. If he is not prepared to go to war. an ultimatum is a bluff, and everyone will soon see that it is. lV'UILE the present policy " does not promise a quick j withdrawal of the Russians or I the fall of Castro, it is sure ly not true to say that it is complacent, do - nothingism. I To a degree which is just short of war, Cuba is being photographed, patrolled, em bargoed, squeezed and isola ted If Cuba were a great pow er, we would be at war with her for what we arc already doing. I doubt whether there is any precedent where we j have exerted such strong measures short of war on any other country. However much w-e arc im patient and frustrated, we I have to grasp the fact that Cuba is no military threat to the United States and is not very much of Latin America. The worst of Castro is his example, and a long way after that such agents as he is able to train and infiltrate into the Latin American countries. He is an affront to our pride, he is a nuisance, he is a mischief maker. But he is not a mortal threat to the vital interests of the United States, and therefore, in this ace of thermonuclear war. we Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (c Field Enterprises. Inc. LAWS AND MORALS In my city of Chicago, which I dearly love, despite, its syndicate bombings, its strong - arm ings, its dope pus hers, its prostitutes, its policy rackets, its slum land lords, and similar civic c x crcscences, a peculiar thing happen' Harri- cd last month. A night club comedian was found guilty by a jury of ut tering obscene words in his performance, and was sentenc ed by a judge to a year in jail and given a S1.000 fine. This splendid example of civic indignation is only slightly dimmed by the thought that one might step into any police station at any time of day or night and hoar the same foul expletives streaming unconsciously from the mouths of those guardian.? of the city's laws and morals. In fact, I had a vision of the vice squad detectives saying to one another after the pinch: "Whai in . . . does that think he's doing by using such .... language in a night club?" The same day's issue that reported his conviction also informed us that a notori ous owner of decrepit slum properties won another con tinuance in a case that has been dragging on for years io prevent him from ex ploiting and victimizing ignorant and impoverished tenants. There was also another bombing of a restaurant that day, doubtless per petrated by the Big Boys, who rest secure in tha knowledge that not a single gangland killing has ever been solved by the police, force in the 30 years since I left Boy Seoul Troop No. 4. The paper was studded with goodies that day, but the Chicago public has be come resigned, not to say apathetic, toward what would be considered shock ing activities in less sop histicated c o m m u nities. Like the man who boasts he cannot spell properly, we have almost become a little proud of our civic infelicities. The night club comedian who talked dirty was only a transient in town, and there fore it may have been felt that he was not authorized to take part in the city's gen eral air of raffishness! to usa the kindest possible word.
