V-ASSOCIAIION EDITORIAL i TULSDAY. MAY 7, 1983 To Err Is A paradox afflicts us in the late decades of the 20th century. We have developed an astonishing tolerance of human frailty as it exhibits itself in individual private lives even when that frailty leads to the commission of crime. But we show surprisingly little tolerance of human mistakes and weakness when they crop up in public life. A DMITTEDLY the standards among our public "men are intended to be high. If we are sensible we do not deliberately put in position of author ity our weaklings and misfits. Yet even men chosen for their evident higher caliber have their flaws. Moreover, they are plunged today in a welter of problems whose size and number are without any shadow of a pre cedent. Why should it be assumed, as it evidently is bv some, that American officials can out of the blue quickly master the delicate, difficult business of lending effective military, political and economic aid to a small Asian land like South Viet Nam, a -country which has only half a will to help itself? Jn our national lifetime, this is an en on total ly new. WHY is there such haste to demand great, visible economic improvement in S o u t h America, a continent that has languished for centuries in poverty and political immaturity? The Kussians, using torial power ever amassed, have been trying to lift their own millions out of the mire for 45 years and have not succeeded yet.Their massive farm problem is unsolved. Is there any reason we should not make mis. takes when, in an unparalleled upsurge, more than 50 nations suddenly appear on the world scene and we try to cope the rough job of nurturing their independence in a world beset by aggressive communism. The guideposts are few. Spin the globe and note such other trouble areas as Korea, Laos, Indonesia, India and, high est in our thoughts now, Cuba. Each raises unique problems. All can be labeled critical in vary mg degrees and different ways. , Not even Franklin D. II -had a daily agenda so staggeringly complex as has confronted Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and their free world counterparts in other lands. AND hovering over these men today " awful knowledge that error can be com ed, in hours, into the near nuclear ruin of this planet. Surely those persons perfect effort must have their own to make Viet Latin America toward booming prosperity, snuff out all threat to Berlin and erase the last vestige of Castro from Cuba. Let's have the perfectionists plans right now. Human frailty obviously has already cost us dear ly. Klamath Falls Herald and News. Contrast To Countless Americans into mental cases by preachers of the stem, fear- generating concepts of puritanism, according to a noted Catholic priest-psychologist. Father James E. Royce, head of the depart ment of psychology at Seattle university, states that modern confessors and psychotherapists are discovering that deeply imbedded puritanical be liefs are the cause of innumerable mental illness es. ' UIS findings are encompassed in an article en- " "titled How nmtamsm rersists, appearing in Insight, the quarterly review of religion and mental health published in St. Louis. "Despair, frigidity in marriage, hyperanxiety about one's religious life, confusion on moral is sues to the point of rejection of all morality and assorted kinds of ascetical witch-hunting" often stem from centuries-old puritanical ideas, Father Royce maintains. " 'The One who puts people in Hell' was the only concept of God that from one neurotic In months of regular weekly visits," the psychologist pointed out. IN SOME New England communities today, "a housewife would not dream of hanging fe male underthings on the clothesline unless pinned inside pillow covers," he writes. Father Royce said American youngsters are beincr taught it is "bad" to smoke, use liDstick. drink even an occasional slacks in just about the same tones they are told it is bad to murder, steal, lie or commit adultery. "There is no real analysis of why these things are wrong, just that they are forbidden." e FATHER Royce holds: "Most of us could use a healthy dose of sacrifice in our lives. But in the context of anxiety neurosis, guilt complexes and marital frigidity, it is important to see that God is not a sadistic tyrant Wnose only desire is to see people suffer." Father Royce closes his article quoting Piers Plowman: "Chastity without charity is buried in Hell." Catholic Sentinel, Portland.

To the Editor: Recently there have been various an swers to the above question in Communications and Editor!. als. Some state dogmatically that we are a Christian nation, others with equal finality that we are not. One of the important laws of disputation is, "Understand your terms. Unless the dis putants can agree on the meaning of the words they use, their minds cannot meet. Communists use this fact to create confusion. When the communist says "democracy" he does not mean what an American citizen understands by that term. When Kroosh sayi, "the will of the people" he means the card carrying communists that run the coun try. When an American says "the will of the people" he means something quite dif ferent. When we ask If America is Christian nation, we must seek in understanding of our terms. If by Christian nation you mean that every adult cit izen Is a professing Christian, an active member of a Chris tian church, then patently we are not a Christian nation. I have never found even church that could meet those specifications. If you mean that our nation is composed largely of honest citizens who believe In and try to support the ideas and Ideals that har monize with Christian Ideals, then you are on your way to your answer. Was our nation founded by Christian men? Again we must look to the meaning of our terms. First we may state definite ly, those men were not athe ists. They were not all church members, though some were. They represented a variety of political, social and geograph ical areas, but they had one common aim, to establish a free, strong, united nation. In the course of their delib erations, when the results seemed in doubt, Benjamin Franklin arose and spoke In part as follows: "Mr. Presi dent, I have lived for a long time, and the longer I live the more convincing proof I see of the truth that God governs in the affairs of men. . .Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build it. I firmly believe this.'. ." If I mistake not, he then moved that they begin each day with prayer for divine guidance. It was done. If our Constitution was not ham mered out on the anvil of the ideals of Christian faith, then every president from Wash ington to Kennedy who placed his hand on the Bible and vowed to obey, enforce and support the Constitution was a liar and a hypocrite. Noth ing would please the commu nists more than for the Amer ican people to lose their faith in divine approval of our Foundation. L. O. Weaver 301 Haven St., Medford Do Thej Know? To the Editor: Do smokers know what they are doing to themselves by continuing the worst of all bad habits? Is It possible to smoke without danger? The answer to this question is given by the Anti- Tobacco Center of America in their comprehensive booklet on the subject. Here are the facts: Every time a smoker draws on a cigarette, cigar or pipe, he is exposed to at least 44 different chemicals and poi sons, 22 among the most dead ly of which are: lutidln, rubl din, carbolic acid, formalde hyde, methalymlne, acreilln, collidine, vlridln, arsenic, formic acid, nicotine, hydro- MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, the name and address of the writer. gene sulphide, pyrrol, furfur- ol, benzpyrene, methyl alco hol, prussic acid, corodln, ammonia, methane, carbon monoxide and pyridin. Quite a lungful of deadly poisons for just one puff of smoke! Dr. A. H. Ruffo, a German cancer-specialist, says that a o n e-p a c k-of-cigarettes-a-day smoker deposits almost two pints of tobacco tars in his lungs per year. His lungs are constantly irritated, smeared, coated and soaked by that sticky substance identical to that found in smokers' pines. And it is in this glue that the sinister benzpyrene, a violent cancer-provoking agent, is dis seminated. Tobacco stains on the fingers are only a small reflection of the appearance of the lungs. Dr. Clarence W. Lieb. who dedicated his life to the study of the effects of tobacco, re porting on his experiments, said: "A smoker's heart con tracted 10,000 more times ner day when he smoked than when he stopped. One does not need to be a physiologist to appreciate the significance ol such wasted energy, the po tential damage to the heart! Every mechanic knows what will happen when a motor is overworked." Long firm against taking a position, the American Heart association finally released an amazing report: "Death rates from coronary diseases are from 50 to 100 per cent higher among smokers than among non-smokers. Dr. H. Brooks performed autopsies on 54 smokers in order to examine their hearts. There was degen eration of tissue in every case. And this is not all. Dr. Bole, gastrointestinal specialist, de clares unequivocably that the action of nicotine on the ter minal blood vessels of the stomach causes ulcers. In this disease the stomach actually devours Itself as the ulcer de velops. Another leading au thority, Dr. Alton Ochsner, refuses to treat ulcer patients at his New Orleans clinic, un less they agree to stop smok ing. He insists that it is im possible to cure peptic ulcers while the patient smokes. There is a great deal more to this, but the above evidence should be sufficient to cause every smoker to take steps to quit the injurious smoking habit. Lydia Burnham 814 Warne St., Prescott, Ariz.

It was, he told Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nas ser, "The most wonderful day of my life." The flag of this new repub lic would have three green stars against a background of red, white and black bars. For Nasser it was- a new start toward accomplishment of his lifelong vision of an fcgypt at the center of the three circles - the first Arab, second African and third a Moslem unity which would exert its influence throughout tne world. Single Arab Nation These were explained in the only book Nasser ever wrote. In it he saw a "role, wandering aimlessly in search of a hero." He never has left any doubt he considered him self suitable for that role. The new UAR would estab-. lish a single Arab nation ex tending from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean.

Washington - The "return to the mainland," so long and so often proclaimed, may really be at tempted this year by Gen eral I s s 1 m o Chiang Kai- shek. There is considerab 1 e danger 1 1 a t this explosive p o s s i b ility will be pooh Alsnp poohed, until the attempt is actually under way, ine Generalissimo and his government have been talking about reinvading the mainland ever since 1949. Bv now, the talk tends to go un heeded, like the cries of "Wolf! Wolf!" of the little boy in tne story. But in the first place, some fast -talking American per suasion was needed to avert at least one earlier attempt. And in the second place, the indications from Formosa this spring differ quite sharply from any in ihe past. There are no boastful, em pty proclamations now. In stead there are serious prepa rations. For example, besides building landing craft in the Taipei shipyards - which the U.S. government knew about the Nationalist have also b e e u having landing craft quietly built in apan - which the U.S. government did not learn about until recently. 'THEN, too, the Nationalist - armed forces have been training hard for amphibious operations, ironically enough with American advice; for help In this special training was part of the bargain, when the Generalissimo agreed to give up his earlier plan for re-Invading the mainland. Finally, the tone and tempo of the Nationalist leadership are tne most serious Indica tors of all. The Generalis simo's advisors who were formerly on the side of cau tion, and above all against getting too far out of step Egypt as Three-Circle Center of the first circle and its mere announcement was enough to send Nasserite mobs into the streets of Amman, capital of neighboring Jordan, to worry tne Saudi rulers of Saudi Arabia and to rouse concern in Israel.

Thus those who tipped the scales on the side of prudence. like the able Vice-President, Chen Chang, and the veteran War Minister, Yu Ta-wei, are now casting their weight on tne other side of the balance. As for the Generalissimo him self, he Is past 70; he is de termined to make his attemp! to return to the mainland while he still has time; and he considers the time is iripe ln loco ... t.uo, fPHERE is, in fact, no doubt A at all that Chiang Kai shek and his government at present intend to make the landing attempt early this summer, or perhaps in the next favorable season, in the autumn. Initially, they cannot put onshore much more than a division. Their air force, which comprises only about 300 planes, is outnumbered more than 10-to-l by the Com munists. nut they remember that tneir pilots scored better than 30-to-l against the Communist pilots in the Quemoy crisis In 1958. They count, quite pos sibly with reason, on scoring as well now. And they also believe that there is ennunh disaffection in the Commu nist army, and more than enough disaffection in the Chinese countryside, to insure a landing on a relative small scale acting like a liehted match in a dry haystack. The question therefore is not whether Chiang Kai-shek seriously intends to attempt nis landing in 1963. The truth is that 1963 is already being rather, opened described in high government circles in Taipei as "The Year of the Return." TNSTEAD, the ques t i o n Is whether or not Chains Kal. shek will act on his intention in the end. The answer to this question is virtually certain to be in the affirmative, more over, unless President Ken. nedy can persuade the Gen eralissimo to change his mind. Persuasion will be'tried. at any rate. Even' the American officials who believe a return to the mainland may some day succeed are strongly con. vinced that any attempt now would be suicidally ill-timed. tor one thing, there is a clear possibility, if not a downright likelihood, of an open break between Commu nist China and the Soviet Union before another 12 months have passed. A Na tionalist landing im...enselv diminished by a Sino-Soviet break, after which Moscow will cease to be a factor In the equation. FOR another thing, a slightly hpttpr hatva lat and the simultaneous, almost complete abandonment of capital investment In industry have combined to allow the Chinese Communist leaders to give their people a little more than they have received until lately. The improvement is unlikely to be enduring. De spair will recur. But there does not seem to be enough despair today to make the Na tionalist plan work. For these practical and local reasons, as well as for many other reasons rooted in the world situation, the General issimo's plan constitutes a serious new problem for the President. cialism," but with a greater degree of parliamentary rule. They recall Nasser's sup pression of the Baathists dur ing the ill-starred Egyptian Syrian merger of 1958-61. And their fear now is that so-called collective leader ship in a new UAR quickly would deteriorate to one-man Nasser rule. For the Arab word, more Strictly Personal By Sydney J.

SUPPOSE you've read or heard of the Plaine des Jarres, which bobs up so often the news of the weird fighting in Laos, over on the other side of the world where Americans are fighting in a war in which they have little or no direct interest. The term is French. That area of the world, as you will remember, was once a part French Indo China. It means the Plain of Jars, or the Plain of Pots. TJOW did it get its name? No one knows. It is a fairly wide, flat, plain, and at one point it is covered with huge 'stone jars, as tall as a man's shoulders. More than 100 of these stone nots are located near one of the stra tegic air fields in Laos. WHO chiseled them out-and " why? It's a mystery. They have been there some 20 cen turies.

Because we hava not had so long a history, because we were a frontier country, and because we have lacked a long tradition of craftsmanship, our stand ards of service and work' manship have been inferior to most of the Europeans. When we complain about this, however, (as we increas ingly do), it must be remem bered at the same time that this lack of a tradition has enabled us to be economically, socially and industrially flex ible - to make rapid shifts in demands and supplies of the labor force. A society that is . inflexible cannot meet rapidly changing needs. The British are more fright ened by automation than we are, because the proportion of the working class population is so much greater. Here, in our own time, there has been a shift away from the labor ing forces to the service class es, just as there has been an enormous shift from the rural type to the urban-complex so ciety - and all without any serious dislocations. Tradition is a two-edged sword: it gives a sense of continuity and excellence to a pursuit, but it also retards necessary adjustments to meet changing conditions. What the British laborers are pro testing is lack of jobs today -but also, more importantly, lack of prospects for tomor row and tomorrow.
