While the legislature is haggling and niggling
over the costs of higher education, the Oregon
State Employees Association, in cooperation
with the American Association of University Pro
fessors, conducted a survey.
With only a 45 per cent return from profes
Bors, associate and assistant professors and in
structors on four state campuses, it showed that
606 of them are planning to leave the state, are
considering it, or nave been contacted by colleges
and universities in other states.
This is only a small sample, and from a not
uninterested source. But it is a hint of what could
happen unless the legislature stops picking at
nits and decides our future citizens are too valu
able an asset to play politics with. E.A.
Great Mens
A good friend of ours named Bob Frazier
has been in the east the last week and a half,
and while he was gone he wrote a series of ar
ticles for the Eugene Register-Guard, of which
he is associate editor.
Washington, D.C., he wrote, is a city which
has over the years been a site of operations for
thousands of men, great, near-great, and nefar
ious. But to him, Washington is always the city
of Abraham Lincoln.
He wrote :
"Whenever I can, I visit the Lincoln Memorial.
This I did just now, as soon as possible after my ar
rival. I approached it the right way, along the re
flecting pool, so that I could see it first at s distance,
reflected In the water.
"Unfortunately the weather is beautiful. Abe
Lincoln Is best visited when the weather is bad. He
know so much of it himself. Also bad weather
keeps the crowds down. Today there must have been
. 200 Americans awarmlng over the great steps that lead
to his statue. I Joined them for my own little talk with
Aba: I didn't talk out loud this time, although at other
tunes, when he and I have been alone up there, I have
. .spoken aloud to him . . ."
DOB, who is something of a historian, goes on
to recount some of the lesser-known tribula
tions which confronted Lincoln the President,
among them foreign
plagued him.
And, after his chat
our friend turned to look
mall toward the Capitol,
files of "temporary (since World War I) barracks-like
buildings which house governmental
offices, and which are a blot and an excrescence
on the loveliness of the city.
"Is this nation really so poor, I asked myself, that
It can't put the torch to those old barracks that cut
Lincoln off from Washington and the Capitol? We're
in a bsd way If we can really tolerate this desecration
ot tha beautiful Mell Just because of a small amount
of money, the like of which we ahoot into the air
many time, a year.
''Than r looked back
waM' msd any more. I
would have laughed It off."
JJOB concluded his piece
"To ma a visit to the Lincoln Memorlsl will always
be a moving experience. I wondered aa I looked at it
this afternoon if maybe sometimes, when the news is
bad and the weather la bad, maybe Jack Kennedy
himself doesn't kind of snesk down here for a little
chat. I'll bet he does, or at lesst that he'd like to."
We hope Bob also had a chance to visit the
Jefferson Monument, further down along the
Mall toward the Potomac. If he did, we hope he
did it the "right way," at night, when the great
circular temple rises in the light, and the tall
Negro in the neat National fark ranger uniform
has time to chat with
his job and the Monument, and how people react
to it. and when the hiirh.

ham Lincoln. There is an austerity to our third
President that was lacking in the homespun Abe.
And yet, how fortunate it is that we do not
have to choose between the two as to which was
the "greatest"! We can simply be grateful that
both contributed such strong pillars to the struc
ture of freedom in which we live.
The contributions of Lincoln, the backwoods
lawyer, were largely those of heart and charac
ter; those of Jefferson, the born aristocrat, the
democrat by choice, were principally those of
tiie mind.
Both were masters of the language, Lincoln
was at his best in the Gettysburg Address and
the Second Inaugural ; Jefferson in the Declara
tion of Independence.
IT IS well, on occasion, to visit the monuments
of these men if only in memory or imagina
tion for they still have much to tell us of the
ideals to which true Americans subscribe, of the
lofty aims of our forefathers, and, perhaps most
important of all, of the responsibilities we still
bear for these ideas and aims.
It is well, in this day when cynicism and
"practicality" tend to dominate too much of our
thinking, to recall that idealism must not die.
If it dies, America dies.
For America, while it is many other things
too, is also the home land of freedom, and free
dom is the child of idealism.
If the monuments of our great men do noth

the decades, they are serving the role for which
they were intended. E.A.

THE POLITICS OF
PROSPERITY

but the policy-makers are

trated. Thia

the
matters xrus
too obvious to
need emphasis. From Cuba to
Laos, our problems abroad
are currently proving intrac
table or worse. And at home,
Congress asked to pass a
fairly modest domestic pro
gram has also proved intrac
table or worse, at least thus
far.
The reason for the confi
dence of the politicians, in
cluding the master-politician
of them all. President Ken
nedy himself, is the unexpect
edly brisk performance of the
U.S. economy. These days, the
President la given to mocking
reminiscences of a large rally
of advisory economists orga
nized last spring by Secretary
of the Treasury Douglas Dil
lon.
THE seera looked at their
statistical fnrm-rharU InH

and almost unanimously pre
dicted a recession this year.
The argument that a reces
sion was On the way led the
President to make his last
year's promise of early, mas
sive tax cuts, which in turn
produced the program of tax
reduction and reform now be
ing mulled over by the House
Ways and Means Committee.
But instead of a downtourn,
we have an upturn, or so It is
now believed. Consider as il
lustration of the contrast, the
history of the gross national
product forecasts. The chair
man of the President's Econo
mic Advisors, Walter Heller,
never joined the Treasury
panel In forecasting a reces
sion. Yet his technical staff
was sufficiently infected with
the prevailing pessimism to
wish to make a low forecast
of gross national product for
1963.
Heller had lo deliver many
a pep talk to his technicians,
in order lo persuade them to
agree to the final forecast
figure of $578 billion. In No
vember -December, thoy
feared they were overestimat
ing by about $5 billion lower.
Now. however, there Is wide
spread agreement, In the
Treasury, in the Economic
Advisory Council and else
where, that Ihc $578 billion
figure is an underestimate,
once again about $5 billion.
VET the fact that times are
ft better than had been ex
pected, has in no way shaken
the Administration on the
need for a massive tax cut.
Instead, it has increased the
confidence of both Secretary
of the Treasury Dillon and
r-conomic Aaviser neiier mat
j the proposer1 tax cut will pro
j duce the desired results.
As Heller has put II. "Re
! versing a downturn Ls very
I much harder than augment

I words, when a recession was
still feared, there were also
lurking fears that the busi
ness and investment Incen
tive provided by a tax cut
would merely hold the econ
omy on an even keel, without
promoting a real take-off.
A major take-off. lo a
wholly new level of produc
j tlvity. Is what is wanted by
the Administration. Nothing

by the economy's better-than-expected
performance. At
first, it was thought that a
Congress loudly averse to
budget deficits would be
more reluctant to cut taxes,
with no bogey of a coming
recession to get votes for the
bill.
IN reality, however, another
bogey seems lo be having
an even more powerful ef
fect. The word is being
passed that the expectation
of a tax cut ia already stimu
lating business; that a reces
sion will indeed be caused if
this expectation is disappoint
ed; and that Congress will
then be blamed, by the coun
try as well as the President.
In these circumstances, the
Administration now relics on
getting a tax package with
less reform than the President
requested, but with plenty of
reductions to provide hand
some incentives for business
investment. From the Presi
dent on down, the conviction
la sincerely, even passionate
ly, held that incentive-providing
tax cuts are now not
merely justifiable, but urg
ently required.
The primary motive of the
pressure for tax cuts li not
political, in short. But the fact
that tax cuts, If voted, ought
to produce very good times
Indeed in 1S84, and the fur
ther fact that good times are
good politics in election years,
are by no means forgotten
either. Doing the right thing,
in short, is also held to be the
beat way to win votes; and
this rare combination is al
ways delightful.

term of office ends in Janu

Unless Premier Fanfani is
upset this weekend, we shall
have in the IlIian election
what might be called a pre
view of the general move
ment of European politics.
Fanfani, who is a Christian
Democrat, has formed a work
ing arrangement with Nerfi,
the leader of the Socialist
party. Until this so-ctiled
"opening to the left," the bi'lk
of the Italian Socialists were
allied with the Communists.
At the national level, though
not so completely In the lo
calities, the Nenni Socialists
have broken away from the
Communists and have open
ly denounced the undemocrat
ic totalitarianism of the Com
munist party.
This political maneuver has
strengthened the Christian
democratic government and
given il a good majority in
the parliament. It has at the
same time drawn the Chris
tian Democrats away from
the right and from the far
right.
It is of great historic signif
icance that Fanfani's action
has had the blessing of the
Vatican. The issue in the elec
tions this week end is wheth
er the working arrangement
between Christian Democrats
and Socialists will be ratified
and thus encouraged to de
velop into a big coalition of
the center.
THE basic pattern of Italian

large mass parties are draw
ing closer together and are
drawing away from the true-
oeiieving communists on the
left and from the old-believing
fascists, monarchists, feudal
ists and reactionaries on the
right.
The same pattern is discern
ible in West Germany. There
the Social Democrats have
turned away from their Marx
ist inheritance and have con
verted themselves into a par
ty of the left center. The
Christian Democrats are at the
same time moving toward a
Coalition with the Sorial TVm.
ocrata presumably after
me election oi lues wnen, it
is believed, the Social Dem
ocrats will have become a
very large party, though they
will be short of being a ma
jority party.
The basic pattern is also
discernible in Great Britain.
There the conservatism of the
younger Tories is far to the
left of what is called conserv
atism in this country; the
leftism of the Labor party is
that they'd better stay out of
Laos?
Thailand is a different ket

know what they're about.
They know what they want.
What they want more than
anything else Is to be LET

THE European movement
away from the ends to
ward the center reflects the
practical experience of Eu
rope since the second world
war. The feudal and aristo
cratic elements of continental
society have been largely
liquidated as a political force.
The criminal behavior of the
Nazis and the Fascists has
made the far right, as dis
tinguished from the conserv
ative and aristocratic right,
disreputable. The business
men, managers and techni
cians who have achieved the
brilliant recovery of Europe
are not, indeed could not be.
reactionaries. The past, if
they had one, was lost in
the war. It is the future which
belongs to them, and they
to the future.
At the same time, the re
covery of Europe has made
irrelevant and uninteresting
the socialism of the prewar
era. The Socialist parties of
Germany and Great Britain,
and now of Italy, are no long
er "working class' and Marx
ist. They are middle class,
which includes in modern Eu
rope as it does in this coun
try a great mass of blue-color
workers as well as the white.
In the Marxist sense, there is
no class struggle in the ad
vanced countries of Western
Europe. But there is greater
affluence than any Commu
nist country has come any
where near to.
In the 18 years since the
end of the war, the prestige
of Soviet communism, which
was bright while Europe was
prostrated, has grown dim
as Europe has recovered. To
day, the Russian problem is
how to extricate their advanc
ed economy from the toils of
the totalitarian regime. The
old Communist doctrine flour
ishes today only in the back
ward countries, notably in
China.
ALTHOUGH there are no
elections in the Soviet
Union, there is ground for
thinking that it, too, is in the
midst of political change. Mr.
Khrushchev is not a personal
dictator as was Stalin. The
Soviet Union is ruled by an
oligarchy of which Mr. Khru
shchev ia the boss and the
leader, but not the absolute
master.
He Is faced, I venture to
think, with a tangled knot to
untie. The Soviet Union and
its economy have reached a
state of development where
they are too complex to be
run by dictation from the
Kremlin. Russia needs at least
a certain amount of freedom
to think, to speak, to invent,
to consult and to initiate. It
also needs peace with the nu
clear power of the West.
On the other hand, histori
cal experience shows that it
is extremely difficult and dan
gerous to loosen up the bonds
of a regimented society. Lib
erty is a heady drink, and
again and again regimes
forced by discontent to liber
alize themselves have come
crashing down not long after.
My guess is that Mr. K. is
stumped because he does not
know how to let freedom ad
vance without risking the
very existence of the regime.
I would not suppose that he
is in such a tantrum about
the artists merely because,
like General Eisenhower and
Mr. Truman, he dislikes what
they paint. He is angry be
cause he is frightened at what
a growing freedom, which is
unavoidable, will do to So
viet society.
enough - the simple argument
that Congress balks and that
it balks because the mood of
the country, which the Con
gress and election statistics
accurately reflect, favors no
great exertions. The argument
adds that the American peo
ple have always behaved this
way. between wars and be
tween depressions.
They have, but to be con
tent with this explanation is
to explain modern America
only in terms of the short
range cycle of years and dec
ades. Yet a case can be made
for the proposition that a
long range cycle of genera
lions and centuries is also at
work, that the evidence for
it is now abundant and can
explain even such transcient
phenomena as the fate of the
New Frontier.
All previous American jen
eratJons have considered their
country as synonymous not
only with perpetual motion
but with perpetual youth. The
youth of today, even more
than their elders, know bet
ter, even if they can't express
it. They know that quantities
have little to do with quali
ties, that our traditional slo
gan of "bigger and better" is
a non-sequitur.

FRIENDLY ADVICE
ON A HOME PROJECT
One Saturday afternoon
a few years ago, we were
out in front of our house
trying to break up an un
wanted driveway railing
with a sledga hammer. We
were pleased by the num

to take their turns swing

the unyielding concrete.
Each in turn, the hammer
was swung by a man of tha
cloth, a TV announcer, a
truck driver, a clothing
store owner and a sales
manager. The thing that
has always bothered us is
that two friends elected to
sit in their cars and offer
endless advice. The fact
they were both lawyers
must mean something but
we've never quite figured
out what.
