They are a proposed new Constitution for Oregon, discussed here yes terday, and the means ror tne coming two years. There is a deadlock on both. The deadlock, coming as it does after all existing records for the length of a legislative session have been broken, seems to sum up the record of this session. It has been marked by dissention, not by har mony ; by bickering, not by constructive action ; by partisanship, not by statesmanship. Eventually and no one can guess how long it will take a tax program will be hammered out, and then the legislators can go home. e e e e e THE question which sticks with us, though, is rtrtf tirViofViAt f h rt aaccinn Viaa a fpfirfi nl fell fir? much that is constructive; it is, rather, whether it has avoided doing anything that is damaging. we are not sure that We fear that far too on the true, basic needs of education. We fear that whatever tax program comes out of the session will be a stop-gap, catch as catch can, jerry-built program, designed only to get the state through the lacing up to the needs of the future. One of the big disappointments has been the refusal of the House to vote on a sales tax program. The Mail Tribune has not supported sales tax measures in the past. But the property tax is be coming increasingly burdensome, particularly to those who can least afford it retired people and yuung lamiiies just, gemng a Biarc. e e a THE income tax inherently the fairest tax of alt of ill Jl O a mali-it rlnfi'iiAniiAa nvtrl in maiii mi aiyAii nag iiiojui uci-iwciiwco, ailU JO 11UW one of the highest of any state in the nation. A properly designed sales tax, which affords a measure of relief in the income and property tax neids, and balances putting much of our fiscal program on a pay-as-you-go basis, would have much appeal to many. And in light of the rapidly increasing needs of the state, and more particularly the schools, colleges and universities of the state, it appears to be the only ultimate solution. We think the legislature is being woefully short sighted in not calling for another vote on it. Such an action might even, prevent a referendum of whatever tax program they come up with, and a resulting special session of the legislature. Which provi- uence ioi oia i ej.a. .

DUT there is another need, too, one of which u is discussed in the Izaak Walton magazine the need to protect these set-aside areas from too heavy use, which can damage and destroy a beau tiful park almost as rapidly as can bulldozers. A classic example of this can be seen on sun ny summer week ends no further away than Howard Prairie lake. The lake is a lovely, attrac tive spot, not only for those simply seeking an in ine out oi aoors. But when you cram several thousand people into an area designed to accommodate several hundred with comfort and elbow room, the result is often calamitous. IF people persist in coming (and it looks to us us as though Howard Prairie's popularity is here to stay), arrangements must be made to ac commodate them to provide places for them to park their cars and boat trailers, to add camp and picnic sites, and, above all, to provide for sanitary facilities. hither that, or find some way of decreasing the number of people, by use fees, or by an ac tual limitation of numbers, which means turn ing people away, as is done in some California camping areas. Much the same problem applies in many of the National Parks notably Yosemite and Yel lowstone where the vast thronirs of visitors nose serious problems, not only straining the accom modations, but also threatening the actual phys ical surroundings. UOW to pay for the needed changes? 14 One way which serves a double purpose is user fees. The Land and Water now pending in Congress, would provide for such fees, and would apply the proceeds to a broad ened program of recreational acquisition and de velopment. The Forest Service is now charging use fees in some of its more popular sites. The Park Service long has done so. The state and the counties are rapidly com ing to the same conclusions. And it is only right that the people who use our increasingly valuable and increasingly scarce recreation areas should pay for the privilege of doing so. We can think of no reason why one who docs not use them should pay for them through general taxation. E.A. to pay for state operation it has. little emphasis was put biennium, without really let the people of Oregon the burden as well as .

So like the last two March 19ths, there was no mention of the swallowB return to old Capistrano, for now it is changed to the St. Joseph's Feast Day, anything relative to swallows is strictly taboo by the Mission padres. Their radical departure from what they first declared must have been fear of the fact, as I found out by the cooperative UPI In Portland recently that return of the swallows to the Mission would have to be phoned in from there to the LA Times on March 16, not later than the 17th so as to be related to the central clearing at Salt Lake then back to Portland and on to the Mail Tribune and all other subscribing papers the 18th, so you could announce the "glad" tidings on the 19th.

Referring to his claim that the tombs of other great teach ers can be visited today, and that their bodies lie Inside those tombs while the tomb of Jesus is emply, the expla nation for this Is simple. Ac cording to Plrrra van Paasscn, Unitarian writer, this is whst MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON tne case. actually occurred following the death of Jesus: His body, like that of other prisoners executed by the Ro- mans, was thrown into the ditch by the side of Golgotha "the Hill of Skulls." In the night that followed, some of his friends who had escaped the Procurator's dragnet, ven tured from their hiding place, easily located the body and gave it a secret burial. Then they left for Galilee to join the others of the Master's mes sianist companions who had fled. There could have been no Roman guard at the tomb to prevent anyone from stealing the body of Jesus because it was never placed in the tomb in the first place. That is why the tomb was empty. The body of Jesus reposed else where. Christian missionaries dis covered as soon as they began telling the story of Jesus' "res urrection" to the crowds of Antioch and Damascus a few decades after his death that most listeners could easily recognize it as that of Osiris and Hercules and other demi gods who died and rose. I am certain that the whole fan tastic story is purely mythical. Lydia Burnham 814 Warne at. Prescott, Ariz. Building Fund To the Editor: Due to illness and doctor's orders that I take a complete rest, I have sub mitted my resignation to the Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges of Gold Hill as their general chairman for the building fund drive which was begun a few months ago. The fund raising campaign has been a tremendous success thus far, due largely to the help and encouragement of our many friends in Ashland, Medford, Central Point, Gold Hill and Grants Pass. I am sure the fund will continue to grow and the goal of a new meeting place reached soon. My sincere thanks and ap preciation to all of you for your loyal support. Mrs. Charles Stripling Gold Hill, Ore. Capital Punishment To the Editor: Our good edi tor E.A. welcomes the Negroes to our valley. Now he is plugging hard for the end of capital punishment. If you read the newspaper reports you will see the most of our brutal murders are com mitted by ex-convicts out on parole. When a jury convicts a mur derer and our judges sentences mm to ute in prison, it should mean no less than that. The two murderers who murdered that lady on Sunset ave. are now ready for parole. The murderer who murdered the little boy at Tubb Springs is near ready for parole. The woman who threw the babies in the gorge will soon be ready for parole. When our governor com- mutes a sentence to life In prison he should insist that it be no less. As long as our parole boards have the power to parole these murderers I will vote for capital punish ment and I think so will vou. C. W. Corey Phoenix, Ore. 1 to 12 Inches To the Editor: W. have heard a lot lately about man aged news by the government, however, none are more guilty of this than so-called liberal" newspapers such as yours. A classic example Is the coverage, by your paper, of the V. N. debate, May 13th, in which I participated. The sub ject was "United Nstions, Right or Wrong." Tht physi cal rules wss a 10 minute Short-Lived Revolution in Turkey Serves As Reminder of Deep Split Within Ranks By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Turkey, the United States' friend and ally serving as anchor man for both the NATO and CENTO alli ances, went through its second m i 1 1 tary revolt In little more than a year this week. As a revolt, it was a s h o r t 1 1 ved affair quickly crushed by the forces loyal to President Cemal Gur- scl. It made its leader, former Col. Talat Aydemlr, a two- time loser not likely now to receive from the government the same light slap on the wrist he received after his first attempt on Feb. 22 of last year. But it d I d serve as a re- Matter of Fact (c) New York Herald LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE Washington - After long maneuvering, the Soviets and the Chinese Communists have at last jointly s c he duled meeting to dis cuss their dlf- fere nces in Moscow on July 5. In the issue of Prav- da announcing that a date for a meetins had finally been agreed upon, great promi nence was given to a French Communist statement that 'dogmatism" - meaning the Chinese heresy - was now the prime danger to the world Communist movement That reveals the Soviet leadership's approach to the July meeting. So much has been generally noticed. Far too little atten tion has been given, however, to an astonishing speech starkly revealing the real na ture of the current stage in the Sino-Soviet dispute. It was made in Hanoi, by Liu Shao- chi, the second man of the Chinese Communist party, at the close of his recent South east Asian tour. THERE were two notable features of this speech. Liu boldly restored Stalin to his former niche as "the great continuator of Lenin," from which Nikita S. Khrushchev has rudely pushed the dead dictator. Liu repeatedly spoke of "Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin" as a quadrumvirate of equals, who ought to be the true guides of world commu nism. More Important, still, how ever, was Liu's blunt warning to the unfortunate North Viet- opening statement wfth 3 min ute rebuttals. While Mr. Whit- aker erred by taking only S minutes for his opening state ment, he received equal space in your paper. While your reporters tried to point out my presentation errors in the debate, they de liberately hid the above error from your readers by filling in for Mr. Whitaker. If I had come there to dis-credit Mr. Whitaker, I could have read about his left-wing activities from a newspaper in San Francisco called "Tocsin" which devotes no small amount of space to Mr. Whit aker. This would be one of the most flagrant errors in de bates, yet your reporters went on to compound Whitaker's errors by giving him space in his attack on me and the John Birch Society even though it had nothing to do with the debate, "United Nations, Right or Wrong." Your reporters were so prejudiced that they wouldn't even print my rebuttal to Mr. Whitaker such as his assertion that there are only 44 Soviet communists among the 1.311 persons employed In the U.N. I immediately pointed out that his figure didn't show the communist employees from the other 22 communist coun tries in the world that work in the U. N. Nor did they re port a spectator who became so incensed with Mr. Whit aker's misstatement that he broke In at one place and pointed it out. Any fair minded person would at least give equal space In a debate but a ruler will show Mr. Whitaker got 18 column Inches to my 12 column Inches and while all of my facts were taken from authoritative sources, "Behind the U. N. Front." "Should We Strengthen the U.N." and The U.S. hews and World Report," this wasn't even men tioned. Under these circumstances It is Impossible for the read ing public to arrive at a log ical conclusion. No wonder we are losing to communism. Leslie Fleming Box 3174 Eugene, Ore. minder of the deep split which has existed within this im portant member of the West ern alliance ever since the execution of former Premier Adnan Menderes on Sept. IS, 1911. Young Turks Angry On the one side are the "young Turks" of the army who consider that tne govern ment of Gursel and aged Pre mier Ismet Inonu has be trayed the revolution which overthrew the 10 year - old Menderes regime. They long for a return of military rule which would be socialist along the lines of President Gamal Abdel Nas ser's United Arab Republic They have the support of part of Turkey s intelligentsia and tne labor unions. They consider Inonu a chief supporter of a do - nothing policy which has failed to carry out promised social re forms. By JoMph Alsop Trlbunt Syndlctla namese, who have been trying to fence-sit, and thus to stay friends with both the Soviets and the Chinese Communists in the midst of their bitter quarrel. "Modern revisionists," said Liu Shao-cht, meaning no one else but Khrushchev and his supporters, "(while) donning a cloak of Marxism Leninism are actually wantonly adulter a ting Marxism - Leninism, emasculating Marvism-Lenin ism in its revolutionary soul, . . . substituting hypocritical bourgeois 'supra-class' view points for Marxist - Leninist viewpoints . . . and substitu ting bourgeois pragmatism for dialectical materialism." TN COMMUNIST terms, this is about on a par with the sort of thing the Church Fa- thers said about the Arians, the Monophysites, the Gnos tics, and the Nestorians before these wicked heretics' were hurled into outer darkness, "The destiny of the world." declared Liu, would therefore depend on the outcome of the struggle against "the modern revisionists." And he went on pointedly: (In) such an important struggle of principle, we can not act as onlookers or follow a middle course." In short, the North Nietna- mese were told, in plain terms, that they had better cilmb down off the fence without another minute of de lay. Whether they will do so still remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Liu's speech rather forthrightly tells us that even before the Moscow meeting the Chinese and So viets are waging a life and death struggle for control of other Communist parties, TN THIS STRUGGLE, the Chinese have already won fairly dramatic successes. All the Asian parties are off the fence and on the Chinese side except for the North Vietna mese party, which has been leaning-Chinese, and the In dian party, whose pro-Chinese leaders have been quietly locked up by Jawaharlal Nehru, on the suggestion, it is reported, of the local pro-So viet communists. The Japanese party, in which the pro-Chinese group has a majority, is perhaps the biggest prize the Chinese have won. But there are others. The Communists of New Zea land, somewhat surprisingly, have preferred Peking to Moscow. In the Canadian par ty, there is at least enough dissent to result In a recent mission to Peking, and the same is true of the Brazilian party. Even in Western Europe, the Soviets have run into trouble here and there. In the Norwegian party, for in stance, the pro-Chinese group was nearly strong enough to take over, and fight for con trol is still continuing. F 1 to THE SATELLITE area, too, the Soviets' row with the Chinese is strengthening the impulses to independence felt by the local leaderships. The Roumanian party leaders, for Instance, have boldly and obstinately rejected Moscow's views about joint economic planning lor the member-nations of the Soviet bloc. In the Hanoi speech. Liu further spoke of the "strug gle against revisionism" ss necessarily "protracted and complicated . , . involving many twists and turns." A major turning point has al ready passed, for the Chinese, having seriously hoped to top ple Khrushchev from his lead ership of the Soviet party, have almost certainly had to give up on this point. But If the leadership of both sides remains the same, the struggle can only go on. with mounting fury; and this outlook is highly unlikely to be altered by the Moscow meeting. On the other hand are Tur key's peasantry, who make up the bulk of Turkey s popula tion and remain loyal to Men deres, conservative business men and high-ranking but ag ing generals who would elimi nate those responsible for the 1960 revolution, Menderes' costly but unco ordinated program of Indus trialization had left the coun try with a foreign debt which cost $100 million a year just to finance. The cost of living had gone up around 250 per cent in 10 yiars. But it had kept men work ing. The peasants paid no taxes and business men paid Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris - fe. field Enterprises. InQ. PERSONAL PREJUDICES Much jewelry on a woman always seems to exaggerate what she has or hasn't, or what she is or isn t; it makes a thin woman look thinner, a fat woman look fatter. young one look pathetically vulnerable and an old one look grotesquely ancient. A good many doctors, I suspect, "curt" more pa tients by tha siss of the bill than by the course of the treatment. Male hypocrisy In the realm of sexual relations was pun- gently put by Desnoyers when he said: "We censure the In constancy of women when we are the victims; we find it charming when we are the objects. It is the magnitude of a fatal catastrophe- that shocks and imprsssss ui. so that our sympathy becomes statistical, and in tha and it is only tha "really big" hur ricane or plane crash that moves us; but mortality is not cumulative, and tha death rata is the same everywhere - one to a par son. The worst "love triangles" are not those among three persons, but between two - as when, for instance, both the woman and the man are in love with him. Those who eagerly join mobs must feel like ab solutely nothing by them selves. When you keep someone waiting, remember that you are giving him time to enum erate your faults and defi ciencies, as compared with his own glowing virtues, among the first of which is promptness. Mora criminals are appre- henoded becausa of other criminals than because of tha police; for whan a man determines to lead an anil- social Ufa, tha tortured logic of his position forces him to become eventually anti social toward his own con federates and associates. A journalist is that odd sort of writer who begins to write badly as soon as he is given time to write well. The things we say star little resemblance to what is on our minds; for in stance, tha important ques tions we ask usually con ceal soma other question we are too ashamed (or loo un aware) to formulate in words; and this is why the answers we get raraly satis fy us - becausa they do not answer the hidden question, only the verbal ona. Many more people would commit suicide if they weren't afraid of what the neighbors might say; what inhibits them is fear of scandal more than fear of death. Those who cannot stand to be alone are doomed never to know intimacy; for love, as Ortega reminds us. consists of two solitudes that touch and cross ona another." GjsZJ'Zb m, js weaves fig!

The young colonels who came In with the 1960 revolu tion curbed inflation and cut public spending. But they did nothing to supply new jobs and they neglected agricul ture, with the result that in Turkey's population of around 26 million some four million were unemployed. In the Day's News lr FRANK JINKINS In Salem, as this is written. the Oregon senate has Just voted by an overwhelming margin to control milk prices at the consumer level and to give unemployed workers in. creased pay. In Washington, n Senator Morse has just stated in a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate that foreign policy of the Democratic ad ministration "is shot full of the holes of expediency." ne aaaea: "The United Stales hm made a mistake in trvine tn export political ideology to uie uaun American nations. Hungry people could not care less. It is time we starts tn export BREAD and not BUL- lis, i a to Latin America. "I will not now vote for grant of one dime, although in the past I have supported foreign aid, to any country that can afford to REPAY a loan." ,??????? well, both are toueh and controversial problems. for example: TF, HERE on the home front, 1 we try to make conditions better for Oregon dairymen by establishing a milk price that will yield them a satis factory profit under existing economic conditions, we will in effect invite out of state producers to start pouring their milk over the border In. to Oregon in order to take) advantage of the higher prices established In Oregon by law. So, in order to prevent this from happening, we will pre sumably have to pass some kind of law to prevent Wash ington, Idaho and California milk from pouring in over our state'a borders in order to take advantage of the higher prices in Oregon. AND- . "If we give unemoloved workers higher stand-by pay, we will increase the tempta tion to take it easy on rockine chair money instead of get ting out and hustling to find other employment. All of which is to say: When we get away from the law of supply and de mand, we are inviting a lot . of propblems to come along ana irouoie us. AND- "If we go along wi!h Sen ator Morse's suggestion that hereafter we make no loans to any foreign state that can REPAY a loan, we shall be encouraging foreign states that have no thoughts of ever repaying us for help we have extended to them in time of need and DISCOURAGING foreign states that seek loans from us for the purpose of establishing industries that will provide employment for their people who are present ly unemployed but are eager to work If jobs can be created to provide employment for them. So that doesn't seem like a very good idea. WHAT to It's s tc do about It all? tough problem. But it's hard for thoughtful people to believe that Just passing laws and shelling out money will provide the kind of iclution that is reeded.
