VJA530C!ATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL FRIDAY. MAY 24. 1963 Worship in There is basis for a cautious hope that, when the U.S. Supreme Court issues its rulings on two "religion in the classroom" cases soon, there will be wider understanding both of the rulings, and of the basis for them than was the case with the nraver rulincr of last year. Frankly, we expect the Court to rule that Bible reading and recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public school rooms is in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. And, more and more, nominations are attempting, not only to prepare their members for such rulings, but are speaking out in advance support THE United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., largest of the Presbyterian denominations, recently went on record against both practices in public schools as devotional acts. The action was taken bly of the church, representing some 6- million members. In the arguments preceding the vote, one speaker said the question was whether the police power of the state Bhould be used to indoctrinate any child, and added that Christianity does not rely on such coercive techniques. Another said, "The government of our on matters of faith, dogma and indoctrination." A majority of the assembly agreed. QIMILARILY, an editorial in the "Crusader," a monthly news magazine published by the American Baptist Convention, fourth largest of the Baptist groups with some Vo million mem bers, also argues that such supreme Court rul ings will not endanger "the traditional moral values of the American way of life." It states that these values belong principally to church and home," and "Few can honestly assert that the perfunctory reading of ilic Bible or the recitation of prayers-often led by those who have no respect for such things-accomplishes very much for the national character." It also quoted the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, which said: When one thinks of prayer as sincere outreach of a human soul to the Creator, 'required prayer' be comes an absurdity." IM0RE and more, it seems to us, sincere and devout church members are coming to real ize that a realistic separation of church and state is their best chance for real freedom. And it also appears to sus that religious exercises, performed in secular school surroundings, presided over by teachers who may not be interested or even willing, and involving children of widely different religious pursuasions, can hardly be of any real or mean ingful religious worth. .finally, freedom of religion, if it means any thing at all, includes not only the right to choose any form of religion one wishes, but also the right to reject any or all forms. THE rights of those who do so, or who choose faifVio nfhnp tinm flio (HVnMofiaw nuA -nits- on in iwiu wwiui uiuu yii viuiauai.. aic just aa mi- portant, under the Constitution, as those who choose one of the major denominations. One's own personal faith, or lack of faith, should not be the subject of majority rule, of governmental interference, or of dictated forms of worship. We would expect the if they are as predicted ligion than against it. For they would end the rather pallid and meaningless forms of worship in the schools, and put them back where they belong in church and home where they can, through proper instruc tion and form, be rich and satisfying to those re ligiously inclined. Teachers have enough to do without being standins for priests, pastors or parents. E.A. 53 Years Ago Because of the thoughtfulness of a friend, we now are the proud possessor of a booklet entitled "Medford, Oregon, Rogue River Valley." It was published in 1910 by the Medford Commercial Club, predecessor to the chamber of commerce. It makes fascinating reading, and looking. Essentially, it is a promotional piece, designed to lure settlers, or, as they were known in those days, "colonists," to this area. An example of the prose style is of particular interest in a year which has seen the Columbus Day storm, a near flood on Dec. 2, a long, wet, cold spring which required unusually heavy or chard heating, thunderstorms and hail, and an unsoasonal hot spell in May. I TN'DER says: the heading "In few other fruit districts in the United States is there so little damage to fruit trees and their crops by adverse weather conditions as in Rogue River Val ley. Winter freeze to kill trees or vines, or even to injure twigs and buds, do not occur, and such a disas ter as an early snow storm In the Kali and subsequent ruin ot the fruit crop Is unknown here. Heavy wind and rain storms that would beat o(t the fruit or the blossoms, or prevent pollination of (he blossoms, are not experienced here. There is, as In every deciduous fruit district In the world, some danger from late frosts In the Sprinu, hut as these frost periods come in but one or two years ot a decade and never accompanied by wind, this damage can be readily and cheaply averted by smtiiiue fires, as has been successfully done here and In some other fruit districts." Well, 53 years makes a difference if not in the weather, as least in the way we regard it. And after all, promotional pamphlets are de signed to promote, not to discourage. The booklet, laudatory about every aspect of life m the valley and profusely illustrated, is a welcome addition to our library.

The Refuge To the Editor: On the spring and fall migrations, On their long and weary flight, They hear quiet waters calling: "Come and rest and spend the night." First we see the pretty mallards, Green heads glistening in the light, Coming down to food and safety: "Come and rest and spend the night." Next we see the little teal (Fastest of their kind in in flight.) Coming down to have his dinner: "Come and rest and spend the night." Then we see the lordly honker Gliding down from dizzy heights, Calling all his weary brothers: "Come and rest and spend the night."

To the Editor: This letter is to all who are concerned with International, world wide peace under "free" national governments. It should be of special interest to our neigh bors in the southeastern states. Of all the petty slllyness that I have witnessed, this is the ultimate. To think that it makes a dollar any less green and gorgeous simply be cause it comes from the pay check of a Negro, or that a bowl of vegetable soup is less tantilizing because an equally hungry, tired shopper or worker, a few seats away, happens to be black, by na ture. How dumpy! If it were a case of cleanli ness or direct contact, or a contagious disease, I could see the point. I'm no more willing to dine or ride or study be side a slovenly, dirty wretch cither black or white, than the next gal, but this - oooh It's Just disgusting. If people would concern themselves with enjoying their own lives, and ignoring people who don't especially interest or appeal to them, they would enevitably find the Negroes didn't bother them a bit, and that bowl of soup Just needed a grain of salt to improve its flavor. In turn, businesses wouldn't lose trade by allowing Integration so would have no excuse for their waste of perfectly legiti mate business prospects. That old favorite of everyone, the mighty dollar, would take on a freihrr. newer, green when drawn from the purse o the Negro customer, and the Ne gro would, at last, be out from under the distress of be ing forced into a "second class" situation. This would, of course, leave the Negroes with no cause for rebellion. The most appalling thing is that our taxes, in such huge ly staggering sums, arc spent in striving for world peace, and It's virtually wasted. How can this entire world live in peace when a single nation cannot? When we rid our beautiful United States ot America ot MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Sit-In . ' the blight which darkens the south (and I don't mean rid ding it of dark skins), then we can hope for some better international situation. Until then - I'm afraid we all must sweat it out until someone goes too far and human petty ncss on a world-wide scale breaks loose in all the terror of nuclear war. I hope you in the south, so proud of your inner poison, your pitiful hat red, are prepared. I'm not! Phyllis Lewis (Mother of two darlin' kids) Talent, Ore. Unci Sawbucks To the Editor: A nprsnn Who Dreachcs nne thin? and practices the opposite is called a hypocrite in our society. Does not a government which dons the samp thintt deserve the rebuke? Our Uncle Sam has turn faces, to the sovernmpnt m. ployce Uncle Sam is a dili gent businessman. He is cur rently pursuing among his em ployees a vigorous economy campaign ana great emphasis is being placed on emulatinc the example set forth by pri vate industry.

This is all very well and good, since inaiviauais must do these things to ftet hv fnvnrahlv One might also exnprt thp same requirements of Uncle Sam toward the general pub lic. Alas, here is where we note the other face, the beam ing Uncle Sawbucks. If the general public doesn't want to tax itself enough to build a freeway across the state, smiling Uncle Sawbucks will ask you to raise a small percentage of the total cost and then he will pluck the remaining percentage from your pocket, deduct 20 per eeni and hand it back to you with a gracious smile of gen erosity. Of course, he may not take it all out of your pocket, some of it may have come from some Californians' pock ets since he takes more than he gives there. This smiling Uncle Saw bucks' face is also turned abroad where all the little, greedy nations, and some large greedy nations too, stand with their hands out so Uncle Sawbucks can fill them full of goodies. Aren't these nations wonderful? Look how they repay Uncle Sawbucks for his good deeds. They kick mm on the shins and pull his whiskers and he loves it. The harder they kick him the more he shells out. Worst of all a lot of what he gives away didn't come from pockets in our own coun try, it comes from pockets not yet made, belonging to men and women not yet born!!! This Is deficit spending.

The fact that our school children form a captive audience for UN prop aganda can be testified to by many parents across our land, if they did not fear hurting their children's standing and grades in school. An example is the following incident, re viewed in 45763 "America's Future." A student in Durham, N. C, High school submitted a theme for senior english class on the subject of, "Our Citizenship -World Challenge." The young lady put into her work not only a good deal of thought but considerable careful re search. Her general thesis was that Americans face a basic conflict in upholding their citizenship, and all the rights which that citizenship implies, because of our membership in the United Nations; that, in effect, the UN is a second gov ernment which impinges on and could abrogate Constitu tional guarantees that are im plicit in American citizenship. It is well to add here that this is a subject of deep con cern to many authorities on Constitutional law. There is much unassailable legal opin ion holding that membership in the UN endangers our Bill of Rights and other guarantees in our Constitution. Never -the -less, when this Durham High schol student who had so clearly shown her love for, and loyalty to, her country, got her paper back irom her teacher, it contained this shocking comment across the front page, "Presents warped views - who has been filling your mind with propa ganda?" A defense of American citi zenship, mind you, is "propa ganda" and "presents warped views." Now hold your breath. The real Hock-buster preced ing both of these unbelievable statements, was the teacher's comment, "This is anti-American." Not because of any pro UN views of the student, but because of her carcfuly rea soned analysis of the dangers so visibly evident in the UN to American citizenship. Personally. I believe that this vicious indoctrination of our school children springs di rectly from UNESCO, the powerful UN agency which has infiltrated our schools j from kindergarten to univer isity.

Central Point, Ore. mm ,.jMri4 When on July 23, 1962, In Geneva the foreign ministers of 14 nations signed an accord on the neutrality of Laos, it was done so by the West with the ironical knowledge that its success would depend upon keeping the Soviets in and the Red Chinese out. The hope lay in the belief thnt Red North Viet Nam, chief supporter of the Red Pathet Lao, leaned more to ward Moscow than Peking in its political orientation and thus would be more likely to heed Soviet counsel. North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh had been trained in Moscow and was believed to depend on Moscow to preserve his own status against any ambitions of his big Chinese neighbor. Whatever validity there was in the hope disappeared when Red China's No. 2 man, Liu Shao-chi, chose the North Viet Nam capital of Hanoi to de liver another bitter attack on Communist "revisionists" and on Soviet Premier Nikita J. Harris any indignation upon it? We live in an extraordinarily violent society. America may be a peace-loving country in its foreign relations (though some might doubt this too), but our internal relations are filled with rage, bitterness, hostility, and the kind of in civility that is only a hair's breadth removed from phys ical conflict. Big cities are not safe at night. Now York's magnifi cent Central Park, in tha heart of tho city, cannot be walked in after dark-a fact which would shock and dis gust not only every Euro pean but even member of what wo call "primitive" societies. Tha American me tropolis has become more of a junglo than tho modern jungle. If people need a vicari ous outlet for thoir repress ed aggressions, and they can qualify their bloody in stincts by watching two man bash each other's brains out, I sea not reason to put an end to such spectacles. It is barbarous, but it is confined to adults who know what they are doing like profes sional auto racers and are well paid for tha chances they take. Indignation about the fa talities in professional boxing is a pointless as asking that daredevil racing be stopped because some drivers are kill ed while at the same time, public homicide on the high ways increases every year with no effective program of prevention. What is stupidly hyprocri tical about professional prize fighting is the insistence by its proponents that it is a "sport." It is nothing of the sort. It Is a legitimatized way ot permitting the public to give vent to its savage in stincts; this is why everyone at a fight wants a knockout which is a temporary worm of death. A "good' fight to tne public, no matter how in expertly conducted, is one in which the maximum of pun ishment is given and received Those who attend fights want to witness death in the ring just as those who watch a high-wire performer are waiting for a fall. When this happens, the cry that goes up from the crowd is horror and delight. Until we know this, we do not know our selves at al. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Up in Salem the other day. Senator Vermon Cook, of Gresham, made a little speech to his colleagues in behalf of a bill to create an 11-meni-ber interim committee to study ways to bring more tourists to Oregon. He made it sound quite worth while. For example: He told his hearers that tourism is a healthy infant in Oregon s almost static econ omy. He said tourism could become Oregon's second in dusty this year behind tim ber, but ahead of agricu'ttire rpHAT'S a lot of money. in 1860. the last census year, Oregon's population was approximately 1,800.000. To bring the figures into round numbers, let's assume that our state's population might by now have reached 2.000.000. That would mean that last year's tourist income of S400, 000.000 came to an average of $200 per Oregon person- $800 for each average family ot four in our state. That's a lot of NEW money It's worth going alter. TK BRING Senator Cook's figure of $400 million into accurate focus, a word of ex planation is in order here. He Laos Appear Glum Khrushchev's policy of co existence. The attack only could have been delivered by permission of Ho Chi Minh and so it meant that Red China, advo cate of the export of violent revolution, had taken over as Ho's chief mentor. If it meant a blow to Mos cow's prestige in Asia and to Allied hopes in Laos, there were others also to whom the Laotian truce had brought dis illusionment. One was neutralist Laotian Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma who had castigated the United States for its sup port of the pro-Western gov Dear Scientists, Go Dig A Hole By Arthur Hoppe Our dedicated scientists, having thoroughly loused up the Van Allen Belt, are busily turning their attention to oth er things. Like trying once again to orbit a band of nee dles around our earth in order to muck up outer space. And digging a $100 million hole in the ground to satisfy their cur iostity. It's high time, I say, that we laymen take a stand! And I've taken mine. I'm for the hole in the ground. This, as you know, is Proj ect Mohole. And its goal is to drill through the earth's crust to see what's inside. As a lay man, I wish to say this project meets all my highest aspir ations. Firstly, It will keep num erous Scientists occupied for years. And "busy hands are happy hands," as we used to say in nursery school. Second ly, it doesn't sound as though anything will blow up. Which is certainly a blessing these days. And, most important of included in his total the sum of $184 million estimated to have been spent in Oregon BY OREGONIANS vacation ing in their own state. This, added to the $217 spent in Oregon last year by OUT' OF STATE tourists, adds up to $401 million. IT CAN be argued that the tourist money spent by Oregonians in their own state isn't NEW money which is true. But let's put it this way: If we of Southern Oregon, for example, could induce the neople of Oregon to spend $100 million vacationing in our own area, it would mean the addition of $100 million to the economy of our region. That goes for any other area of Oregon. A tourist is a tourist dollar so far as each region is concerned. LET'S now get back to the tourist problem of Oregon as a whole. Our states estimated income in 1962 from out-of-state vis itors traveling by automobile came to a total of $168 mil lion. The estimated number of out-of-state cars visiting Oregon last year was 2,804, 660. The average length of stay per car in our state was a littler less than three days 2.93 days, according to the estimates. The average ex penditure per day for each tourist car was $20.45. SO You set: If we could have induced each out-of-state tourist car that visited Oregon last year to stay just ONE DAY longer, we could have added nearly $60 million to our tourist In come. How to get them to slay lonRer? That's a problem that calls for a lot of study. It we can find the answer to it, we can add IMMENSELY to Oregon's prosperity. 1) MERCURY CONTROL CENTE 'r .1, FP I MERCURY CONTROL CENTER "Who needs computers to analyse tha data from Coo per's flight?

It also meant disillusion ment for a tiny man named Gen. Kong Le, fighting the Pathet Lao. Another to whom It must have brought disillusionment was Red Prince Souphanou vong, nominal leader of the Pathet Lao. Laotian observers believe that Souphanouvong is leader in name only and that his place has been taken by hard core Communists who will take orders from Peking and Hanoi. all, it's fantastically expen sive. So we'll all be rich. This last is a matter of eco nomics. Which I don't under stand either. But the prevail, ing theory among our Gov ernment economists is the Government must spend more money. In order to stimulate our economy. In order to make us all rich. Which cer tainly does make sense. To Governments economists. But the grave problem these economists haven't faced squarely is: Where can the Government spend more money without making some body mad? If the Government decides to spend more on public wel fare, the Conservatives get mad. If it's for more missiles, the Liberals get mad. If it's a pork barrel project in South Dakota, North Dakota gets mad. And if it's more foreign aid, everybody will get vio lent. In fact, it's kind of a rule that whatever the Govern ment does, somebody gets mad. Not that the Government cares. But Congres does. And Congress has to approve all this spending. In fact, it's get ting so our honorable Con gressmen can't find a nice, safe, non-controversial place to spend more money. Hard as they try. So it's as plain as day that what we desperately need to meet our current scientific and economic aspirations is a good, big, deep hole in the ground. The only conceivable objec tion, then, to Project Mohole is: "Are we sure the hole is big enough?" After all $100 million is a mere drop in the budget. And fears are being expressed the costs won't even run that high. Could we, perhaps, double the width of the hole? Or chal lenge Russia to a race to the center of the earth? Or even go through to the other side? Or, best of all, drill similar holes in each of the SO States? Plus several in every unde veloped country? Thus spread ing wealth and full employ ment throughout the entire globe. In one fell swoop, we could knock off public welfare, mis siles, pork barrels and foreign aid. Our Congressmen could sit around safely appropriat ing zillions for nothing but more and more holes, thus as suring their incumbency for ever. And all of us would be rich and happy. Everybody's aspirations achieved. Except we'd have to be a little care ful where we stepped. So the Hole Solution is the only answer. Speaking as a confused layman, I say it's in evitable. Yes, sir, I confident ly foresee Ihe day when the human race, led blindly on ward by an ever-more-bewildering technology, will no longer be able to distinguish its aspirations from a hole in the ground. slat.
