Even revisiting scenes familiar in childhood is futile, for in this era of change, they do not re main the same. However, one can come fairly close to find ing again some of the feel books first read when change, and the fact that you have changed makes the re-reading all the more fascinating. These thoughts are prompted by the fact that we are now re-reading "The Jungle Books," by Rudyard Kipling. And what a wave of nostalgic memories they evoke. lVOWGLI, Bagheera the. panther, Baloo the " bear, Kaa the python, Rikky-Tikky-Tavi the mongoose, Gray Brother the wolf, Shere Khan the tiger, the Bandar Log tribe of monkeys, the white seal all these and the others, half-forgot ten, emerge again as familiar, living characters. The perspective that one brings to the great old tales is, of course, different than that which accompanied their reading some three decades ago. But that durerence in perspective only tends to emphasize the first wrought. The stories, though dated by the vanished em pire of the British, still are classics and still have the power to carry the imagination to other times, other places and other worlds. E.A.

The plans call for a $1 the user will enjoy improved facilities and services.

The small camps, usually far out in the for ests and mountains, will remain free to all com' ers. Many of them need development and im provement, too, but they have had to wait upon the allocation of adeauate funds. Of the user fee plans, the Eugene Register- Guard says : ". . , The willingness in campers to pay would be a conclusive test of the national need for an acceler ated program of developing more facilities of the same sort-a test which Congress could not Ignore when working out appropriations for the Forest Service." We feel certain that willing to pay a modest are assured of better sanitary facilities, and, ment of more forest camp grounds. h. A.

For much depends nor on what hap pens this sum- convention iTtja N e n n i's A -ft clalist Pa: T 1 Thau Bra luuveimuu ui So- Party. I jfc I Socialists who I 1 I used to be af I irVCI filiated with LiPDmana 1st Party, but since 1962 have been support ing the coalition led by the Christian Democrats. There Is a crisis in the mak ing on the question of whe ther the Nenni Socialists will divorce the Communists com pletely or whether they will continue to collaborate with them In regional politics. There has long been a bill pending In the Italian parlia ment to grant what we would call states' rights to each of the 19 regions of which Italy is composed. There are, how ever, two regions, Emilia and Tuscany, where the Commun ists and the Nenni Socialists combined would have an ab solute majority.' The Fanfanl government is not likely to pass the states rights bill un less the Nenni Socialists prom ise not to form a governing coalition with the Commu nists. The critical question i whe ther Nenni can make this promise and still hold his par ty together. If he cannot, the Fanfani coalition fovernment will be In grave danger. WHILE the outcome is not decisive, nevertheless it is true that, while the Fan fani coalition has lost some seats in the parliament, it is still very considerably strong er than any other combination which could be put together. If, for example, the Nenni So cialists were excluded, either of the other conceivable com binations would have only about 53 per cent of the seats as against the 60 per cent which these elections have given to the Fanfani coalition. A somewhat closer study of the vote shows that there has been a general movement to the left. Starting with the Communists on the extreme left, we see that they gained about a million votes. Presum ably the Communist gains come from those Socialists who disapproved of Ncnni's ar rangement with the Christian Democrats. Yet, curiously enough, the Nenni Socialists held steady. Their share of the popular vole is only one-third of one per cent lower than in 1958. If, indeed, they lost a -V i .

Moving another step to the right, the Saragat Democratic Socialists, who hnve never collaborated with the Commu nists, gained over half a mil lion votes. These, too, must have come from the Christian Democrats. All in all, the Christian Democrats lost a little more than a million votes, and the bulk of them must have gone to the parties on the left. It is true that the Conservative Party, which in Italy is called the Liberal Par ty, and is comparable with :he Eisenhower Republicans i n this country, made big gains. But these appear to have been at the expense Of the Mon archist Party on its own l iht. The Conservative Liberals gained over a million votes, while the Monarchists lost over a million votes. Thus there was no real gain on the right, although the Neb-Fascists gained about 165,000 votes. ,a PARENTHETICALLY, it has been said that the Com munist gainB must have come from the 1,750,000 young peo ple who are the new voters. The figures do not bear out this conclusion. The elector ate for the Chamber of Dep uties begins at 21 years of age. The electorate for the Senate begins at 25 years of age. The new voters, there fore, were in the electorate of the Chamber of Deputies and not in that of the Senate. If it was these young people who swelled the Communist vote, there should have been a greater Communist gain in the Chamber of Deputies elec tions than in the Senate elec tions. In fact, the contrary is true. The Communist gain was smaller by 234,000 votes in the younger electorate than it was in the older one. A slightly higher proportion of the older electorate voted Communist than did the youngqr. Speaking generally, the Italian elections show that a majority of the Italian voters are left of center. If it hap pens this summer that the Nenni Socialists cannot de tach themselves successfully from the old collaboration with the Communists, the gov erning coalition of the parlia ment will have to move from the center-left to the center right. In all likelihood, this would bring About a renewal of those weak governments which Fanfani has sought to overcome by drawing the Nenni Socialists away from the Communists.

Four Republicans joined 30 Democrats in the action which can be undone only by sus pension of tho rules. How ever, suspension of the rules would require 40 votes, and that total is considered virtu ally unreachable." AS YOU will note from the figures, the sales tax was killed by a heavy Democratic vote - 30 Democrats, joined by four Republicans. Opposi tion to the sales tax is Demo cratic dogma in Oregon, and has been for decades. Oregonians will play a sales tax, whether they call it that or not. All taxes are sales taxes, in that they are a part of the cost of doing business so have to be added to prices. AND- Taxes are cumulative. They have to be added first to the raw materials cost. Then the manufacturer adds his taxes to his other costs of doing business, which Includes taxes on the raw materials. The jobber adds his taxes, and passes them oh to the whole saler. The wholesaler adds his taxes to his other costs and passes them on to the retailer, who adds his taxes to the price. You, as a consumer, pay them all, sales tax or no sales tax. ' . . A TAX is a tax. j-, As Gertrude Stein,. with her say it again and again and again style, would have put it, a tax is a tax is a tax is a tax. That's about the size of it. FROM Moscow: Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev stood side by side on Lenin s tomb the other dav and reviewed a May Day parade that included Soviet rockets of the kind that once brought them both to the verge of nuclear war. . A strange hush came over the audience in Moscow's Red Square as the long gray roc kets rolled by. f oreign ob servers called them "the Cuba rockets." WHY this exaggerated honor to Castro and his Cuban . buckos? You answer It. There are so many consid erations that could have been responsible. At the very least, it was designed to say that In Moscow's plans for the future, CUBA occupies a very large place. It's hard to make any thing else out of it.

With justice, the President has insisted that his critics show more precision in their prescriptions for handling Cuba; but with equal justice his critics can insist on more precision from the administra tion. What we are now wit nessing is a collision of two fog banks. This never clears the air, in nature or In poli tics; it merely produces fog of double thickness. a How uncertain the future course, there can be little un certainty about what the Im mediate past has produced: 1. The Russians now possess a military, political and prop aganda base In the heart of our area of security and In fluence. 2.

The plain truth of the mat ter Is that Rockefeller's heavi est tingle handicap, with great numbers of professional Republican politicians, Is his aggressively and consistently liberal record on the race is sue. On many other subjects, he has recently been sounding a neo-conservative note; but on this subject he stands four square with Sen. Jacob Javits. a THE stand has served him well in New York state; but in the South It has served him very ill indeed. Through out the South, the leaders of both parties unanimously pre dict that Rockefeller would lose their states to President Kennedy. This1 Is the main reason why the Rockefeller boom was watched with few signs of disquiet In the White House. , - A Republican nomination of Governor Rockefeller, which is still the' most likely out come, would mean Republican adoption of the very antithe sis of the "Southern strategy" long advocated in party con claves by Rockefeller's most conspicuous rival, Sen. Barry Goldwater. - - . . i In other words, the nom ination of Rockefeller would mean foregoing the opportun ity to pick up large numbers of electoral votes in the Southern and border states. The battle would thus mainly center in the big states, like New York and California. Yet there are also widespread doubts, among Republicans as well as Democratic politicians about Governor Rockefeller's ability to carry his own state against the President. a SEEN against 'this back ground, the general accep tance of the inevitability of Governor Rockefeller's nom ination was a remarkable po litical phenomenon. It was also a major asset to the gov ernor, for a bandwagon is always very hard to stop in politics. When and if the governor remarries, the main result will be to halt the bandwagon. Un avoidably, the Republican professionals will stop, look. and listen. They will re -as sess the odds. They will ask themselves about the avail ability of other candidates, in cluding Senator Goldwater, who is catnip for so many Republican contributors. This re-assessment, in turn, will almost certainly cause an increasing number of Repub lican leaders to be tempted by the Southern strategy pro posed by Goldwater. The es sence of this strategy is to surrender to the Democrats the Northern Negroes and other minority groups, on the ground, which has been plain ly stated by Goldwater him self, that these groups "al ways vote Democratic any way." e . a THE aim of the strategy Is to pick up the Southern electoral votes which used to be the Democratic party's rockbottom asset. The method of the strategy is to appeal to Southern voters by powerful pronouncements in favor of states' rights - which will be taken, in the South, as pro nouncements against desegre gation. Political realism requires the admission that this strat egy long favored by Senator Goldwater is not so wild as it Clearing 3. Cities and installations of the United States mainland are now open to damage by conventional weapons, and have become, therefore, in some degree hostage to Com munist purposes. Theoretical ly, at least, the Russians could damage us by proxy, their method elsewhere, without themselves being directly in volved. 4. Castro's physical hold on the island is complete, with the underground movement facing probable extinction. 5. The mass of Cuban man power in exile is now a "blown Instrument," a handi cap and thorn in our side, not a weapon for our uses. 6. A foreign policy quarrel of serious proportions is en gulfing an administration which has not yet found its feet in the area of Its domes tic policies and programs. 7. Once again, world Com munism had succeeded in choosing the point of con flict and crisis in the cold war, and once again, as with South Korea or South Viet nam or West Berlin or Laos, the locus of contention Is in side the realm of the free world, not in the Communist realm. e e a Whatever the precise de crees of blame tj be placed on American administrations, past and present, or on Cubans, past and present, the net result Is as described above; and in tplte of the trade restrlcUoni and the par- THINGS YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IF YOU HADN'T READ THEM HERE ilisha Otis, who invented the elevator in 1857 in a one story house, was called Nutty Otis by his neighbors .. .

The upper right hand corner of page 25 of the tele phone directory. This is proof may seem to those who have not studied the current South ern climate. The same politi cians who are unanimous that Rockefeller would lose the Southern states to Kennedy are even more emphatic that Goldwater would carry almost every Southern and border state against the President or anyone else. - That does not eliminate the real problem of a Goldwater nomination, however. His stands on a long series of so cial and welfare issues are such that they would, cause him some trouble, even in the South, and would probably cause him big trouble every where else. a a a GOLD WATER'S magnetic personality and the fact that he has not had to fight a campaign have caused most of his stands on issues to be forgotten. In a Presidential race, they would be ventilated daily, and with the utmost in sistence arid relish. Even so, any slowdown of the Rockefeller bandwagon makes a Goldwater nomina tion more likely. It also in creases the . likelihood of a compromise nomination - the choice of Gov. George Rom ney of Michigan, for instance, or Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania. On the stales' right plat form, with Senator Goldwater in the Vice Presidential spot, these more neutral figures might well have more appeal than Rockefeller in the South and more than Goldwater else where. the Air on ial efforts of the O.A.S. at diplomatic "isolation" of Cuba, no persuasive evidence has yet developed to justify optimistio assumptions about the future effects of Castro ism in the Caribbean and in continental South America. . At the moment Guatemala is holding and in Venezuela. the local Communists have been weakened and disorgan ized. But quick reversals have been a hallmark of the vola tile politics of Latin Amer ica, and it strains credulity to assume that a general era of stability is now beginning. For countries like Peru and possibly Brazil it is hard to convince oneself that the fundamental force for Inte gration are stronger than the fundamental forces for disin tegration. Latin American Communists believe the con trary, and are relatively quiescent right now only as a matter of strategy, waiting for the time when the United States will relax about Cuba, take Itt nervous finger off the trigger, and gradually slip into a ttate of de facto co existence with Castro. As we drift In that direction, most Latin governments as well at those European allies anxious to resume trade with Cuba will try to force us further in that direction. . When northern opinion Is adjusted to accommodation, Communist strategies will change again, and with the that that man will build a hotel anyplace.

We are Indebted to City Councilman Bill Singler for permitting us to look through a scrap book of newspaper clippings dating back to 1911 when Bill's grandfather, Au gust Singler, was the con stable. We were particularly Im pressed by the style of re porting in those days and one of our favorite news stories concerned a young man who came to Medford, "met, wooed and won a well known young girl in three weeks. He was arrested two months later after he mortgaged for fifty dollars a furnished house ha was renting; sold a pair of valuable dogs belonging to the Houston brothers, winners of the grand prize at the Spo kane Apple Show two years ago (the reporter never did reveal if it had been the bro thers or the dogs that won the prize) and pocketed the pro ceeds; bought a Victor talk ing machine and failed to pay for It; left behind some gro cery bills and posed as the heir to an estate in the east. He Is a flashy dresser, one suit being of pronounced cut and style." Another case Involved the reported sighting of a desper ado in the Derby area. With its usual calm style, Tne Med ford Sun told the story thus: "The constable, organized a posse, composed of himself, and left for Derby to arrest the red-eyed desperado who was reportedly holding forth in 8 lonely cabin. Arriving at Derby, the arm of the law journeyed toward the haunt of the bad man, expecting any moment to stop hot lead. "The worst thing that hap pened to the constable," the news story continues, "wag to find himself mired In the mud to deep that he feared he would not be able to ex tricate himself in time to run for sheriff at ihe April pri maries." Constable Singler was elect ed sheriff of Jackson county and several years later (1913) died bravely in a gun duel while arresting a law breaker a short distance from Jack sonville. Medford and Jack son county paid final respects to this fine lawman, as every butlnest in town closed and hundreds of his friends fol lowed him to the cemetery in a funeral cortege 12 blocks long. Cuba present electricity dissipated, we shall find it far harder to rouse ourselves to forceful ac tion In the case of some at tempted uprising in Cuba or in the case of Communist coups in nearby nations. Thif is the prospect unless some how we find a way to increase our present pressures on Cuba. If they are not in creased, they will decrease; it it not in the nature of these things that a status quo can be indefinitely maintained. Wise and good men are re minding us that a Communist Cuba it not a mortal threat to our vital Interests. In and of itself, of course It it not. But that opent, it does not close, the argument. A Com munist Viet-Nam, or a Com munist Laos, or Indonesia, or Venezuela or West Berlin would not be mortal threats, either in and of themselves and separately considered. e a But the Communist world strategy of protracted con flict is a strategy of the piece meal advance.
