Dredged From the Files
Traders of the Missouri Council of Churches
urge public support against "apostles of discord"
tor. the Rev. Stanlev I.
cil floes not say so, the writ of these apostles
comes from the files of the House Un-American
Activities Committee.
An indirect but damning indictment of the
misuse of these files is contained in a letter which
the Rev. Dr. Stuber wrote to Congressman Curtis.
Item: One note supplied by the committee
from its files to his detractors lists the Rev. Dr.
Stuber as a member of a committee to repeal
the McCarran (Internal Security) Act. This was
thirteen vears aeo. when he agreed with Presi
dent Truman who vetoed the McCarran Act, and
the Rev. Dr. Stuber is equally against that law
today. So are many Americans, as is their right.
at
ITEM : The committee file includes a letterhead
of the Inter-American
the American Russian Institute naming Dr. Stu
ber as secretary-treasurer. He was appointed to
this World War II relief committee of clergyman
by the American Baptist Convention, at a time
when Russia was an ally.
Item: The committee uses the Communist
Daily Worker as evidence that Dr. Stuber signed
a statement issued by the National Council of
Americans-Soviet Friendship. This organization
has been praised by President Roosevelt and Gen.
Eisenhower. Dr. Stuber did not join it, but signed
what he considered to be an appeal for world
peace in the name of Christianity, not Commu
nism. Item: The committee says Dr. Stuber was
listed as a sponsor on a letterhead of the Amer
ican Committee for Spanish Freedom in 1946.
This organization was "listed" as unpatriotic
three years later but Dr. Stuber had never joined
it. He states that he felt free then and is free
today to oppose religious oppression under
r ranco in opam.
Item: The Call to the Mid-Century Confer
ence for Peace in Chicago in 1950 listed Dr.
Stuber as a sponsor. He never attended the con
ference, because he learned that it might be Com
munist-inspired.
TilS is nearly the complete committee file on
that Rov TV Shihpv anrl if id flimsy stuff.
Congressman Curtis was concerned because those
who misused it did not include the committee's
disclaimer that it had made no evaulation of the
material. But the users are free to ignore the dis
claimer. If the committee wanted to disclaim
such material, it would not file it, nor distribute it.
Instead, the committee has supported attacks
on the patriotism of a loyal clergyman who nev
er sympthized with Communism. Its so-called in
formation ignores history, relates to events of
long ago, is vague at best and offers no possibility
of explanation or self-defense. Yet it is enough
to supply innuendoes to character assassins, and
that is just what the committee does supply to
its friends and apostles.
Is there any excuse in free America for such
activities of the House Un-American Activities
Committee? St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Madame Duchess
The longest reigning living monarch in the
world and her son her lieutenant and heir ap
parentwill be feted at a White House state din
ner tomorrow.
Actually, Grand Duchess Charlotte of Lux
embourg and Prince Jean are cashing in a rain
check. They were to have made a state visit to
Washington last October. However, President
Kennedy on Oct. 24 regretfully invited them to
postpone their departure in view of the Cuban
crisis.
Duchess Charlotte on May 2, 1961 announced
she was appointing her eldest son and heir, Prince
Jean, as her lieutenant to exercise executive pow
er on her behalf. At the time it was predicted
that the Grand Duchess would step aside com
pletely on her next birthday anniversary.
OUT Charlotte, who has been Luxembourg's
constitutional monarch since April, 1919, was
67 last Jan. 23 and the occasion brought no re
nunciation. Luxembourgers are unresponsive to
change. They say "Mir roelle bleiwe wat mir
sin" or "We want to remain what we are."
Prince Jean is vice president of the 15-mem-ber
Council of State, which acts as a Senate in
the Luxembourg system and gives opinions on
all legislation before laws receive the signatures
of the Grand Duchess. He is described as "soci
able, quick-witted, and amusing," though rather
formal. He does his homework, in the tradition
of the Nassau-Braganza family, whose motto is
"I serve."
But back of the tapestry and pageantry in
highly industrialized Luxembourg is the hard
fact. What real power exists lies with the Chris
tian Socialists and their Pr eniier, Pierre Werner.

Land Of Beginning"
To the Editor: I am in one
of my pessimistic moods to
day, wishing there were some
wonderful place called "The
Land Of Beginning Again."
Being a returned mental pa
tient from O.S.H., I find my
self constantly and earnestly
searching for answera. And so
perplexing are the problems
that superficial answers won't
satisfy the situations that
arise. Discouragement comes
to all, it is true, and even
the greatest have their hours
of melancholy.
Now as to my rare opti
mistic mood. I am aided by
our wonderful tranquilizer
druga and understanding of
our fellowmen. Also our pro
gressive Jackson County Fam
ily and Child Guidance Clinic
(Miss Gllkev), and Health De
partment (Mrs. Bass). It is
true they '.ave a goal to at
tain for a full developed men
tal health program. However,
they are doing progressive
work at the local level, with
the budget as it is. I find the
ataff very cooperative and
seemingly dedicated.
With my cooperation, and
the aid that I am receiving
from the community, this
could be called "The Land Of
Beginning". It's up to me.

Pagan Fables?
To the Editor: Henry John
son of Ashland, Ore., said in
his letter published on April
21 that he believes in the
literal Biblical account of
earth's creation, and that the
six days of creation were ac
tually days 24 hours long.
If the earth itself was "cre
ated" in such a short time,
how come that ages were re
quired to produce the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, now a
mile deep, which was carved
by tltc Colorado River
through solid rock?
My understanding is that
everything came about
through a long slow process
of evolution, which is now as
Impregnably established as is
the Copcrnlcan conception of
the solar system.
Mr. Johnson is right that
the Christian world is not
sure just when Easter should
be celebrated. He may be in
terested to learn that the ob
servance of Easter was hoary
with age long before Christ
waa born. It was an old pagan
festival in honor of the reani
mation, the rejuvenation of
nature at the vernal season of
the year. Also at this time of
the resurrection of the great
est forces of nature. 'I! the
ancient nations celebrated the
resurrection of their mythical
gods. The Christian church
followed the custom of the
pagan world. She made her
God to rise when the other
gods had risen.
The Easter egg is not a
Christian "institution" either.
The egg has ever been re
garded as the symbol of life,
and at the Easter season the
ancients ate eggs and present
ed eggs to their friends. The
very name of this festival is
of pagan origin. Oestra, from
which the name Easter, was
a Norse goddess and was wor
shipped as the devoted patron
ess of the renewing life of
spring. The name of his pa
gan goddess was borrowed
and became a conjuring word
in the vocabulary of Christien-
; ity
Why Is It that the exact
i date of the supposed resur-
rection of Christ Is not
' known? Easter Sunday is al
i ways the first Sunday after
I the tint full moon after
March 21 the spring equnl-
nox. The Easter celebration
i Is therefore festival of
I changing time. It may occur
! as early as March 22 or as
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,
late as April 28. Could any
thing be more curious than
this manner of celebrating an
event claimed to be historical?
If the resurrection of Christ
was an actual occurrence why
should It depend on the
course of the sun and the
phases of the moon? Why
should it be celebrated in
March one year and in April
the next? Isn't it possible that
the resurrection story is only
a pagan fable retold in Chris
tian form?
There were fully 15 other
gods that were born of a vir
gin, were crucified and resur
rected and ascended into
heaven. Of course, all of them
were mythical, but it is dif
ficult for a thinking person
to believe that man once dead
could rise and return to life.
Actually, such an occurrence
is a biological impossibility.
No one ever rose from the
dead and no one ever will.

No Regrets
To the Editor: In recent let
ters, three ladies describing
themselves as relative new
comers to our valley (here
some 3-7 years) complained of
having found little evidence
of friendliness or hospitality
on the part of the natives or
other long-time residents.
One wrote of being "shock
ed" at having been "met In
variably by suspicion and hos
tility" and "rejection times
without number," and coun
tered with the accusation:
"Medfordites, I find you quite
sick-with fear, greed, and
keeping up with the Joneses."
In further support of her the
sis she commented-with indi
rect but very kind reference
to some of my "mild pro
nouncements" (which gesture
I appreciated) - how these
"have occasioned such resent
ment among some of you."
The comment of the other two
disillusioned ladies was much
in the same vein.
True enough, some of my
letters have received hostile
rejoinders, especially from
chronic "aglnners." However,
their frequency and total num
ber have been more than off
set by appreciative comments,
either in Communications, by
personal letter, telephone call
or in encounters about town
or in neighboring communi
ties. As long ago as 62261 I
reported some of these friend
ly comments in these columns,
and on 11161 wrote of the
"friendly merchants and busi
ness people generally" as
among the many things about
Medford which had "impress
ed me so favorably."
Altogether, except for some
of those occasional nasty digs
in Communications or from
opponents in the Jackson
County Democratic Central
Committee, my experience has
been quite the opposite of that
described by the Irate ladies.
From my very first day in
Medford, 1 have enjoyed
friendly reception and cordial
hospitality everywhere I have
gone, with many invitations to
address church, civic, politi
cal, school and other groups
and to dinner, meetings or
parties In private home,
The unfavorable comments
of the three ladies could ap
ply equally to almost any city,
town or village but it would
seem to me hardly fair or jus
tifiable to regard them as ap
plicable to more than a small
: minority of their citizens.
More significant. 1 believe,

numbers in recent years, peo

try deliberately have chosen

Delinquent Children
To the Editor: The cry goes
up from every quarter these
days; it seems that something
is radically wrong with our
family circle; our children are
being chastened under the
tenets of our civil laws for
actions and deeds of trans
gression, some of them being
in the major crime categories.
Some way or other, we par
ents have failed our children
in upholding the standard
they have a right to expect
thus to stimulate faith, hope
and love within their hearts.
We cannot recall the past
but we can regret and ac
knowledge our faults, short
comings and sins. We can, in
many cases and homes, yet
begin a program of regener
ation; Bible study, with
prayer.
A child must know the dif
ference between right and
wrong and we parents must
teach them and with God's
help Incline them toward the
right.
They must know and un
derstand that we love them
and in return we want their
love and respect. There is a
way.
Jesus, looking down upon
this generation, gives us this
promise. "Behold, I will send
you Elijah the prophet be
fore the coming of the sreat
and deadful day of the Lord;
and He shall turn the heart
of the fathers to the children,
and the heart of the children
to the fathers lest I come and
smite the earth with a curse."
(Mai. 4:5-6).
The Elijah Spirit is the
Holy Spirit mentioned by
Jesus and is the Comforter
(Jn. 14:26). He is the teacher
that would teach all things;
by accepting Him when He
knocks at our door, we and
our children may have His
presence with us.
We should establish the
j family altar and open our

I and begin that study with a
prayer.

Along with the lightener

Nearly 4,000 employees of
Kaiser Steel Corporation will
get a bonus of about S80 a
man, or some 45 cents an
hour, in the first monthly cost
saving distribution under
Kaiser's new labor plan
which involves automation.
The plan gives to workers
each month about a third of
the cost savings realized over
Kaiser's 1961 cost level. It
guarantees CONTINUED

which was extensively em
ployed in the Kaiser opera
tion during the month.
Kaiser announces that dur

month of effective operation
of the new plan, cost savings
amounted to $962,000 and
the workers' share of the sav
ing will be $312,000 for 3,930
eligible employees.

of the story:

SPIRITUAL SINS
"Whenever I see or hear
the word 'spiritual,' it makes
me grit my teeth," said a
friend of mine, who teaches
philosophy in a nearby col
lege. "It's be

of people who
don't even un
derstand what
it means." I
quite agreed
J;m with him. The
m wor "spiritu
al, uacu in its
mm- popular sense,
has come to mean the opposite
of "physical." Anything that
is "spiritual" is good, is posi
tive, is virtuous, is desirable,
is loftier than the merely
physical.
This is not only nonsense
it is dangerous nonsense.
Just as physical things can
be either good or bad, so
spiritual things can be either
good or bad. The word it
self is quite neutral, and has
no intrinsic value.
Indeed, as C. S. Lewis
pointed out in hit book.
"Christian Behavior," tome
years ago: "The tint of the
flesh are bad, but thay are
the laatt bad of all tint. All
the wont pleaturet are
purely spiritual: the pleas

Nit Picking, as you know,

entire productive years to
Picking Nits. Which are view

symbols. Not unlike hippopotamus-bone

Indeed, among the Salans,
who dwell on Capitol Hill
where Nit Picking is a way
of life, advancement in the
tribe appears to depend in
great measure on the number
and loveliness of the Nits the
tribesman is able to pick. And
the Solon who accumulates
the most Nits is venerated and
elevated to positions of hon

is commensurate to his abili

The people who create
the mischief and the sor

the libertines and the drink
ers and the wastrels; they
are pathetic people who cre
ate, at the most, private
tragedy. The vast public
tragedies are created by the
men who are dominated by
tome pervtrte tpiritual
drive by pride, by an
ger, by hotiility, by envy.
True spirituality is as rare
as true bestiality in human
beings. And those few who
achieve it are those who are
terribly aware of the perils
of spirituality who know,
as the Romans warned us,
that a corruption of the best
becomes the worst. Which is
why, to quote lewis again,
"Of all bad men. the bad
religious man is the worst."
Unlike most other religions,
both Judaism and Christianity
accept the goodness of physi
cal things, and do not dismiss
them as delusions or devices
of the devil. And those who
despise the physical, too of
ten use their "spirituality" as
a bludgeon for punishing the
weak, while they themselves
revel in the pleasures of pride,
of power, of exactly those
"spiritual" qualities that de
fine the nature of their ene
my, the devil.
not the size of the Nit that
counts. But rather the size
of the Issue from which it is
picked. "The larger the Issue,
the fewer the Nits it will pro
duce," is the strange rule gov
erning the art form.
For example, should an Is
sue appropriating $50 billion
to blow up the world be sub
mitted to the Solons, only tho
newest Freshman, or neo
phyte Nit Picker, would
search for a Nit. But let an
other tribe request, say
$162.98 for seven new office
chairs and every Solon is on
his feet. Tweezers in hand.
"Are these purported chairs
of foreign design? ' demands
one in a transport of joy.
"May I have unanimous con
sent," says another, all aglow,
"to introduce into the record
an excellent report on the un
questionable value of genuine
hog-hide antimacassars, with
which, I feel confident in stat
ing, these so-called chairs are
undoubtedly unequi p p e d ?"
And so forth.
This seeming oddity can be
explained, of course, on the
grounds the Nit Pickers feel
more secure Picking Nits
from a small Issue they can
understand. Such as seats.
While big Issues, such as
blowing up the world, make
them uneasy and Inhibit their
creativity.
a
But I prefer to think the
artistic Nit Picker views the
small Issue as presenting a
greater aesthetic challenge.
Comparable to pinhcad en
graving. And thus the native
Nit Picker is much to be ad
mired. If you like engraved
pinheads.
But the problem, of course,
is. "What good are Nits?"
They have no intrinsic value
in the real world, being neith
er edible, wearable nor sal
able. And how can we ad
vanced societies help these
poor, backward natives ever
reach the economic take-off
point where they'll cease to
be a burden to us? If they
persist in this Nit fixation?
Oh. it s going to be a long,
slow haul leading them to
economic independence. I sug
gest we start by trying to
teach them basket weaving.
Or. even bette-. crude pottery
making. Anything productive.
But, frankly, it looks hone-
less. The more I examine their
economic structure the more
depressed I get. No sir. these
natives are never going to
make a pot Not without our
help, they're not.
