Maverick as Legislator -I How must a single member of the Legisla ture a good one, who worked hard and voted his convictions and did not participate in any of the acrimony and silly business that went on how must he feel now that the session is over? As one political writer who covered the en tire session pointed out: "All (members) will be painted with the same tar ' brush and all will have to overcome the headlines which almost daily for 142 days told of disscntion, division and indecision." - In addition they will have to swallow down editorial criticisms which accurately character ized the session at less than good. yHIS, sadly, is one of the crosses of a good legislator who served in a bad session. In individual contacts, and perhaps in other ways, our good legislator can explain that he worked long, hard hours, listened to the voices e . j .It. !

At the same time, he must, willy-nilly and deserved or not. assume his share of the collec tive responsibility for the sins of commission and omission performed in tne name or tne people IN OUR view, the sins of omission were greater than the sins of commission. The legislature failed to provide realistic amounts of monev needed for an adequate sup port of a number of state services, most notably hicher education and public health. It showed its distrust of the people of the state by (1) rejecting a proposed new Constitu tion and thus preventing it irom coming to a vote of the people, and (z) by tailing to let the people vote on a tax program which would pro vide more adequate funds, and at the same time ease some of the almost-prohibitive burdens of the present property and income tax levels. . Bevond these, the major sins of omission, the Legislature purely and simply made an offensive displav of itself, and this although qualified ob servers say that, INDIVIDUALLY, its members were among the most diligent, conscientious and hard-working in years.

The almost unlimited right to Introduce bills and then the policy of almost unlimited hearings. 3. The violently disruptive effect of the fight over - workmen's compensation.

Politics is the art of the possible, and the possible is achieved through compromise. No legislator is elected solely as a representative of his constitu ents; he also is obligated to sec that his repre sentation is made effective. An occasional maverick is to be cherished in any legislative group. But, given a majority of mavericks, chaos results. And it did. L. A. "Huh Time Alre.dy?'

Yes, I believe In book burning. Every state in this country had an obscenity law until the Warren court be came the "Law of the Land." These so called psycholo gists are the ruination of our kids and the country. The paper reported that .one came before our Legislators and told them that none of them were eligible to decide about obscenity. There was no re port of any black eyes. Book burning? Yes, books that pull men and women down to the level of animals should be burned and the authors banned from society. The editor said that reading does not harm anyone. Even said those quotes by Mrs. Black from that book about Jesus Christ would not cor rupt anyone. I don't agree with anything he said either In that article or other state ments about books.

In short, the present law says, "No monopoly of the airwaves for any political party - equal rights for all." The Socialist Labor Party un reservedly , agrees with the philosophy expressed by the existing law. The .proposed' bills .would restrict, for all practical pur poses, political broadcasting to only two parties, the Re publican and the Democrat. Honest and elementary rea soning can only lead' us to the conclusion that those two parties are ideologically , in distinguishable. ; . The Socialist Labor Party contends that these bills are an attack on the Constitution al principle of freedom of speech. Manifestly, freedom for the Republican-Democratic coal ition only - no matter how large its membership - is no freedom at all. That kind of "freedom" la found In the most brutal and venal dicta torships, oast and present Freedom is always freedom for'the man who thinks dif ferently. This contention does 'not "spring from a fanatical Iflve of abstract Justice, but from he fact that everything which is enllahtenine and healthy In political freedom derives from Its Independent eharaoter. , Finally, the Socialist Labor Party has pointed out that tne .-suppression of political life throughout the United States must inevitably cause the vitality of this nation to decline. Without freedom of speech, the other freedoms are. headed towards quick ex tlnctlon. Without freedom, life in every public institut. tion slows down and bureau cracy rises as the only de ciding factor. Suppression of freedom must have certain and abun dant adverse consequences No one, no nation, can escape the workings of this law. Not now, or ever. Henry R.

DECAUSK of this teapot tempest, we were particularly interested in the new issue of Time magazine, where KazanUakis's newest book, "The Rock Garden," is reviewed less for the review itself, than for what it has to say about the author. In part, it said: ". . . the great Greek Poet-Novelist Kazantrnkis..." "Kazantzakis is doubly resented (in the Orient): as a white man and as an apolitical, uncommitted man . . ." "What saddened Kuzanlzakis's life, however . strengthened hit art. Ills experiences steeled his poet's nerves, shaped the hard philosophy of hu later masterpieces, 'The Odyssey" and 'The Last Temptation of Christ.' Life is ceaseless combat. Kazantzakis learned, and the poet's light is the fiercest of all: to translate experience Into words, to 'transform flesh - into spirit.'

Learning Freedom To the Editor: Several bills are now before Congress which would amend or re peal Section 313 of the Fed eral Communication Act. This section specifies that If a radio or television station gives tree time for the po- Learnlng Truth To the Editor: Thelma Car son wrote, with reference to mine of the 21st: "Let us take a closer look at this orthodox definition of truth. Eternal and infinite are material con ccptions of unlimited time and space. ' . Since when does orthodoxy have a monopoly on such words as eternal and infinite? How can they possibly denote limitation? If there is such a thing as a material conception as applied to the act of con- ceivlng an idea in the mind, I have yet to see one. I did not "define" Truth Such a feat would be like trying to catch light In butterfly net. Truth, in its highest sense, defies definl nltion. The Infinite Force, the Causeless Cause, Supreme In. telligence or Cod, is the Ulti mate Truth - that subtle Es sence that is In all. through all. as' all. Jesus said, "I am the Truth," not referring to Jesus the man, but Jesus the Christ, who was one with God. ; Miss, Carson also objected to the word "changeless." Is not God (Truth) the same yes terday, t o d a y, tomorrow? Eternal, changeless and infi nite are the best words I Know whereby anything of the na ture of Truth may be con veyed. I was misquoted by Miss Carson. I did not say "so how can anyone expect to know the whole of It?" Truth will be known eventually, for that is our destiny.

I president, two jf I vice presi- ' - f1 I dents and the total member ship of Can- gress after nearly a year of military rule. But this is not the only reason the election is impor tant. It also will test tV good intent of the military rulers who have promised that it will be free. The background is thiS: In elections last June, the man receiving the greatest number of votes was Peru's most controversial political character, Victor Raul Haya De La Torre. Haya De La Torre is a man with a Napoleonic face and figure who heightens his te semblance to the famous Cor sican by brushing his forelock down over his forehead. As founder and leader of Peru's -American Popular R e v o 1 u tionary Action, or APRA, party, he spent years in exile and more years hiding out from Peruvian police in the Colombian Embassy in Lima, He is considered k leftist of the same school as Presi dent Romulo Betancourt of Venezuela and President Juan Bosch of the Dominican Re public- In Peru, he is suspect by the military and rightwing political groups, and prior to iast year's elections, military leaders had vowed publicly that if elected he never would be permitted to take office. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS QUESTION: Wh, was the session so long? This answer occurs: The legislators had raised their own salaries r rather considerably. Perhaps they felt that in view of the higher pay they ought to work long er. . - ... i ,. ' . .-V WHILE we are making up our minds as to whether the Oregon legislative session that has just ended was good or bad, let's talk about TOUR ISM, which is edging up to ward Oregon's No. 2 Industry? . On that interesting subject, the San Francisco Chronicle said the other day: 'San Francisco's reorgan ized and augmented Conven tion and Visitors Bureau . . . has set out to gain more vis itors to San Francisco - more conventions and more tourists. Vhe Importance of its under taking is suggested by the fact that 2,323,558 visitors cvne to San Francisco last year, and put 111,814,821 NEW DOL LARS into local circulation. "When it is considered that each of these dollars turns over between ten and 20 times, tourism is seen to be already a billion dollar local Industry. WHAT of Oregon? We didn't do too badly up this way. TiURING the 1962 tourist JL' season, 9,225.558 out-of state tourists, traveling in 2, 804.660 automobiles, put 217,. 000,000 NEW DOLLARS into local circulation in Oregon If each of these NEW DOL LARS turned over only five times, it means (to use tne Chronicle's economic reason ing) that In Oregon tourism is ALREADY a billion dollar industry. learned through mental pro cesses, but discerned through inner revelation. The finite mind cannot comprehend that which is Infinite; the former is of the third dimension, which Is mental, and the latter of the fourth, which is spiritual. Contrary to Miss Carson's suggestion, Truth is not dual, but one indivisible whole. Man has sought out some of its principles, by means of which he has brought forth wondrous manifestations. God provided; double-minded man divided. His many various and variable concepts of Truth make it ap pear to have countless change able aspects. Regarding the word "super natural", it was Prof. Obcrth, not 1, who used it. Actually, that which we call the super natural is the natural not fully understood. Jesus understood more of Universal Law than most of us at the present time; therefore, he could walk on the water. I said "most of us" bec! there are some In the world now who can do the same. This shouldn't be too surprising, for didn t the Master say we would do the works that he did - and great- er works? Louise Wopschall Route 1, Box 403 Eagle Point. Ore. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris c Field Enterprises. Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES If three men are sitting in a rowboat in the middle of the sea, and one of them drills a hole under the seat of the second, the boat will sink with all three of them; and only if we understand this can we understand (If not accept) the "neutralism" of so many nations seated between us and the Russians in the global rowboat. The most awful and lacerating relationships are not between men and wom en who do not lore each other, but between those who, in some desperately perverted way, lova each other but do not like each other. Speaking of love, it custo marily takes the better part of a lifetime to come to terms with the truth of Mignon McLaughlin's flat as sertion that "No one has ever loved anyone the way every one wants to be loved." When a man writes a book to demonstrate that life has no essential mean ing, , one wonders what meaning he can attach to such a book that he gave so many months of hard work to its composition. Arguments turn truths Into dogmas: as soon as something we believe to be true is dis puted, our attitude hardens and we claim much more for it than we otherwise would. Following this line of thought, it is depressingly evident that truths never alter the convictions of fa natics, but rather increase their resistance; as Oliver ' Wendell Holmes once put it, in a beautiful figure of speechi "The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eyei the more light you pour upon it, the more it will contract." No new-born baby is dull, but many parents are; what happens to depress and dis courage these personalities in the early years, so that most merriment is drained out of them? This is the great ques tion for child psychology; for how can we build an imagina tive and reponsive social order with so many stilted and pedestrian personalities? Every great monarch used to keep a Fool at court, not so much to make him laugh as to remind him of the wry paradoxes and inconsistences ol life that no one else would dare to utter; and It is a severe lots in our time that those invested with high power do not have a privileged Fool to mock their preten sions and ridicule their decisions. A woman who cannot for get that she is wearing a beautiful dress simply calls attention to the fact that she doos not feel up to it. If a man said about him self what he says about his country, he would be con sidered the most arrogant boaster and megalomaniac; yet is not a country the multiplied version of one man. pounding his chest and bragging to all about his demonstrable superi ority over other men? EXTRA CAR KEYS Akron. Ohio - m - Most auto travelers are wise in the ways of packing and knowing what to pack - down to that extra flashlight One small, but vital item, often over looked is an extra set of car keys. The women's sen-ice bureau for Goodyear advised the extra set and added, "don't hide the extra keys in the car" but put them in purse or other safe place. After the elections, the military charged voting frauds and seized the govern ment. This year Haya De La Torre once more is a candidate. In fact, all major candi dates are the same as year ago. The other two are Fer nando Belaunde Terry, a pro fessor of architecture and en thusiastic explorer of Peru's Andes mountains and jun gles, and former President Manuel Prado. Belaunde heads the Popu lar Action Party and Prado's organization is called the Prado Union. Neither has anything like the organization of Haya De La Torre's APRA party, which enjoys strong support from labor. Impartial observers in Peru say the military junta there has done a good job in prepar ing for the coming elections. A new election law has on Sunday Election been written and is conceded to be non-discriminatory. A new registration of voters, with literacy a requirement, was carried out during the last year. In Lima late last March this correspondent inter viewed all three major can didates and then submitted questions to Gen. Nicholas Lindley, head of the ruling Junta. Among the questions was one which asked if the junta would permit Haya De La Torre to take 'office now if elected. The reply was non-com-mital- It said the question was "not pertinent" inasmuch as the junta had made no state ment on the subject. All three candidates are campaigning on platforms of anti-Communism and cooper ation with the Alliance for Progress. Differences primarily are ones of detail. Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop (C) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate m Alsop THE COMMUNIST MOURNERS Washington -. Pope John is mourned by Catholics, Protestants, and Jews - by all men of good will without distinction of belief. This was a saintly man, no less good because earthy and humor ous. whose good ness all men could be sure about. The curious fact is that among the most sincere mourners, there will also be some men of highly dubious and diluted good wifl. The Eastern European Commu nist leaders had been hoping that John XXIII would agree to a kind of semi-concordat; and they now fear that the next Pope will break off the contacts that gave hope of agreement. Politically as well as re ligiously, these Communist- Vatican contacts have been one of the most interesting and startling features of the remarkable reign of Pope John. Too much attention has been concentrated, however, on the superficial events like the Roman visit of Nikita S. Khrushchev's son - in - law, Alexel Abzhubel. THE development of real importance, which the Va tican and the church hierarchy did not Initiate, was the dis cussion of ways to regularize the extremely troublesome church state relations in countries with huge, devout Catholic populations and Communist governments, no tably Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. The discussions, wholly in formal, carefully kept be hind the scenes, never char acterized as negotiations, be gan with a feeler put out by the Communist party hierar chy of Poland to the "other Polish government, t h e Catholic hierarchy headed by the great, wise, and courage ous Stefan Cardinal Wyszyn-ski. Anyone who has spent a single Sunday in Poland - anyone who has seen the young men and boys kneel ing in great crowds on the sidewalks at the doors of the overfilled churches - knows the Polish church's potential power. Cardinal Wyszynski has been content to use that power to defend the church's religious freedom and free dom to teach the young. IN PRACTICE, the founda tinn for a snrt nf rhurch- state agreement was well- laid some time ago, when the practice grew up of sub mitting the names of new bishops to the civil govern ment before their installation. As churchmen rather than politicians have always been nominated, there has been no real trouble about the Po lish bishopric; but there has been much friction about re ligious teaching in the schools. , Apparently the great Po lish Cardinal believed that both the church and the Po lish people would gain by a regularized church - state re lationship in Poland, which would tend to prevent fric tion over religious teachings and other difficulties that have arisen from time to time. The proof that Cardinal Wyszynski did not object is the simple fact that Polish Embassy - Vatican contacts began in Rome. , WHAT had been produced by these contacts before Pope John's death is still a closely held secret. But it is clear that the affair was well advanced, most probably in the direction of an agreement to name church and stato representatives who would he charged with negotiating out any subsequent church - state differences. Proofs that the affair was well - advanced are fairly numerous. Cardinal Wyszyn ski's visit to Rome, to talk about the problem with Pope John and the members of the Papal curia, was one such proof. Another was the visit of Franziskus Cardinal Koe nig, Primate of Vienna, to Bu dapest, with the aim of end ing the long seclusion of Jo zef Cardinal Mindszenty in the American Legation there. Until recently, at least, Car- . dinal Koenig was also sup posed to make an early visit to Prague, to meet with Arch bishop Josef Beran, Primate of Czechoslovakia. The obvi ous purpose was to talk with Archbishop Beran about ex tending to Czechoslovakia an agreement already planner! to cover Hungary as well as Poland. ALL THIS, moreover, was - very much on the mind of Pope John, even on his death bed. One of those ad mitted to see him, by the Pope's own request, was the Primate of the Ukraine, Arch bishop Josyf Slyipyi. Arch bishop Slyipyi's release from Russia was another recent de velopment in the changing pattern of Vatican relations with the Communist govern ments. This changing pattern has no doubt shocked a great many worldly people in this country, not to mention the more conservative members of the Papal curia. But nei ther the Cardinals of the curia nor the Americans who are comparably shocked have had anything like the same opportunity to form a correct judgment as Cardinal Wys zynski has had. Pope John, on the other hand, was evidently content to take the opinion of this great Polish churchman, lead er and patriot.
