She lives, she told us. adjacent to an orchard It had recently been- sprayed with chemicals by an airplane, and the chemicals had blown over her house and yard. She was concerned, she said, with what the effects might be on the health of her family. And, she asked, is there anything she could do about it We weren't very helpful, and about all we could suggest was that she write the btate bam tary Authority to ask their advice and counsel SHE if not alone in her alarm. Throughout the nation concern over the use of chemicals as Desticides is hiirher now than ever before due largely to Rachel Carson's startling book, "Silent Spring." This concern has been mounting in recent months in both the Congress and in the executive department. A recent report of the President's Science Advisory Committee asked for a thorough over haul of machinery dealing with pesticides. The Agriculture, Interior ana Health, Educa tion and Welfare Departments are working on added safeguards and added research. And in the Senate, legislation is being pre pared to effect similar ends. COME 350 million pounds of chemical poisons are dumped, sprayed and scattered through the nation every year. And no one really knows exactly what their overall effect is. It s high time we found out. Pesticides, together with fertilizers, machin ery, and better methods, have raised farm produc tion in this country to an unbelievably high rate. This is a triumph for science. No one, certainly, wants to go back to the days when an entire crop could be wiped out by a single infestation of pests. Still, while acknowledging the importance of chemicals to the well-being or the nation, we can salute Miss Carson for her warning, and for the effect it is having at all levels. IT WASN'T too long ago that "Silent Spring" was being attacked and pooh-poohed. As recently as last November, a magazine en titled County Agent and Vo-Ag Teacher had an aricle entitled, "How To Answer Rachel Carson." It started with this sub-headline : "In her book, 'Silent Spring,' the widespread use of insecticides is condemned. Here are some facts and figures to help you in preparing talks or articles in de fense of their use. This attiude has changed sharply, and today it is generally admitted that many answers re main to be discovered about the use of chemicals. PROM violent attacks, charging ignorance and incompetence, Miss Cai-son has gone on to receive meat praise from a variety of sources for her courage in pointing out that less is Known about pesticides than should be known in view of their widespread use. One high Interior Department official said : "It's ironic that one of our employees had to quit and write a book to expose the danger." The upshot of it all was expressed in a recent news story from Washington, which concluded : "At any rate, it looks as If the pesticide binge is over. Congress is thoroughly aroused; the President's endorsement of the science report will embolden those alresdy worried about indiscriminate bug spraying. "Soon three other congressional committees will Investigate aspects of the pesticide dilemma. Reforms undoubtedly will emerge and at the very least the Agriculture Department hopes to subsltute a public, hearing procedure (or the curious law that allows a manufacturer to sell alongside registered pesticides, unregistered agents being marketed 'under protest'." WE HOPE and trust that local horticulturalists and fai-mara will tnlro rtntn nf thnsA snrimw and disturbing doubts and go easy on the use of questionable sprays, at least until more adequate research can assure their safety. It will make our friendly but worried tele phone caller feel better. And if someone's health, or someone's life, is spared by strict care and prudent caution in dealing w ith potentially dangerous chemicals, it would be worth whatever the cost in self-restraint and responsible action. E.A. Sensible Light Proposal The adoption by automobile manufacturers of the amber-colored turn signal blinker was a minor triumph of horse sense. The amber blinker is far less confusing than white or red ones. Now comes another suggestion and it sounds to us like a good one for the improvement of automobile light signals, and thus traffic safety. It is simply that, instead of rear lights of red, they be green when the car is in forward motion. When braking, when stopped or when backing, they would change to red. In case of an emergen cy, the red lights would be set to flashing by use of a special switch on the dashboard. Rear fights would be used day as well as night THIS makes sense. On many cars, it is difficult to distinguish the ordinary rear red light from the slightly more intense red light signifying that a brake is on, particularly if one's attention is divered at the moment the brakes are applied. Green running lights would signify forward motion; a red light would automatically mean "watch it!" It would be a simple mechanical change to put into effect, but it would require considerable revisions in laws and in manufacture. But the advantages! would seem to make the trouble worth while. E.A.

Hidden Hands To the Editor: By now our national Senate may have passed legislation ending sil ver backing of $1 and $2 bills. To me this is the last straw. This was the only pa per money we had left with hard money behind it. Out side of the "Lincoln green backs it was the only debt free. Constitutionally created paper currency there was in the nation. Look on your $5, $10, and $20 bills. Do they tell you you can have silver or gold "payable to bearer on demand?" You BET they don't. You can ask (or silver, in small amounts, but you can't demand It. You can't even ask for gold. Only a foreigner can demand gold for American paper money, and get it. Who is it behind the scenes who Is tampering with our nation's (inanclal structures? Who made It illegal (or Amer icans to own their own gold? Who took our gold backed currency away (rom us back in the 1930s and stole nearly half o( every dollar we had by raising the price of gold? (And I don't mean President Roosevelt.) What hidden hands have manipulated inter national finances until the gold that was taken out of the pockets of the American people in 1034 is now owned lock, stock and barrel by for eign bankers? Who manipu lates the unfavorable dhI- ance of trade" that has drain ed our gold away? Who was the hidden pow er behind sending two sets of U.S. Treasury money plates and several plane loads of our Ink and currency paper to Russia during World War II to hurry up the "draining" process? (Documented in de tail in Chapter 12 of "From Major Jordan's Diaries.") Who has robbed the Ameri can people of their gold and left them nothing In Its pluce but paper l.O.U.'s which are now all but worthless on the world market? Who is it that has -Impoverished our nation to their own enrichment? Perhaps you've read that our $1 and $2 bills, formerly backed by 100 per cent sil ver, will now be backed by 23 per cent gold. What gold, may I ask? Foreigners own approximately $24 billion of our $18 billion gold pile, hold ing short term bonds against it. We are from $6 to $8 bil lion In the red. Fellow Amer icans, somebody has been giv ing us the "business." We have been (ixed up real good by some one too greedy to even allow us the luxury of debt (ree $1 bills. And Pres ident Kennedy had the nerve to tell us that there was no "enemy within." Frank Koch 412 South First st., Central Poirt, Ore. His low passes at the Presi dent and Attorney-General do not merit, nor need, a reply; nor does his ignorant com ment on the distinguished Christian minister. Dr. King. His assertion that the Negro's quest (or equality is but a trick to "gain entry to daugh ters of white parents" would be ludicrous if it weren't such a libel and complete untruth. Hasn't it ever occurred to Mr. Clifford that what miscegena tion we have had in this country, largely in the South, has come generally upon white men's initiative; not the Negro's, (or whom it would have been quite impossible in most instances. As for mar riage, the vast majority of Negroes prefer to confine it to their own race. Mrs. Morrow related a young man's tale of Negroes where he worked back east who "goofed-off and if . . . reprimanded, . , . cry 'dis crimination'." Of three young Negro women there, "only one carries her share of the work lo'ad." In .the context of her letter, this "evidence" presumably also was meant to point up some inferiority on the part of Negroes. All it really proves is that Ne groes, like white folk, have their failings. For a number of years I was supervisor of both white and Negro workers, all of about equal ability, but the Negroes averaging somewhat better than the whites in per formance. Industriousness and laziness, like all other human traits, are well distributed among all races of mankind. It's quite silly to generalize from any particulars in a giv en situation. To characterize any ethnic group as inherent ly Inferior not only goes in the face of established an thropological evidence but is a violation of the Christian ethic. Arnold Eugene Jenny, Rogue Valley Manor Medford Khrushchev-Castro Accord, Quarrel With Red Chinese, Figure in Latin Subversion Br PHIL NEW80M UPI Foreign News Analyst No one on the outside can yet be completely sure of the exact price Nlkita Khrushchev paid for Fidel Castro's con tinued loyalty in the current j I bitter squab- Die between the Soviet Un- i -v I ion and Red i. n n . nor can it yet be foretold how far Khru shchev is willing to go to compromise that quarrel But unless Khrushchev is willing to break totally with his one-time Chinese friends. then a compromise must be made. And that compromise, plus his deal with Castro, is certain to have an effect on Commu nist tactics in Latin America, a prime Communist target. Hence, all the more import ance should be attached to the findings of a special inter- American committee which in vestigated Red subversion in Latin America. In the Day's News I FRANK JINKINS Over the years, this writer has learned that when he needs to know who said some thing, or did something, or when something Important happened, and the available reference books are silent on the subject, he can always find out what he needs to know by asking the readers of this newspaper about it. For example: Quite some time ago, at a casual luncheon gathering, the subject of extravagant public spending came up and someone at the table asked: Who was it that said something like this: 'Demo cracy in America can survive only until the politicians dis cover that by promising pie in the sky in unlimited quan tities, to be paid for out of the federal treasury, they can keep themselves In office indefinitely'?" White Man's Problem To the Editor: Your editori al of 87 was a magnificent exposition of the basic Issues o( our race problem: really, primarily a problem of the white man, due to his Ignor ance or prejudice or, know ing the facts and aware of his bias, to his unwillingness or slowness to face up to the moral Imperative which re quires removal of all Impedi ments to the full equality of our Negro (cllow citizens guaranteed by the Constitu tion. F. J. Clifford s slurs on Dr. Martin Luther King and Pres ident Kennedy confirmed his prejudice. His talk of "low learning capacity" of the Ne gro Li pure nonsense, invnip ported by scientific evidence, unproved even by the NEA Report he cited but badly mis interpreted. Quite obviously. he Is not an educator and never had any experience in teaching Negroes, whether children or adults. t Needless To Say , . . To the Editor: Some ex pressions I am getting tired of hearing: - It remains to be seen. More than appears on the surface. It only goes to show. You will be pleased to know. The moment of decision has arrived. It goes without saying. David Frisch P.O. Box 292 White, City, Ore. Cut Proposed in Budget for Space Washington - dirt - A con' gressional subcommittee has recommended cutting the manned space (light budget by about $230 million, It was learned today. A House space subcommlt tee voted unanimously to trim by about 7 per cent the $3.7 billion the administration re quested (or manned space (light activities (or the fiscal year starting July 1. The subcommittee's recom mendations now go to the (ull House Space committee, which is exptcted to endorse the panel's action. Most of the reduction! took place in the Apollo program to put a man on the moon by 1970 SETTLEMENT URGED Portland - (IT - An appeal to civic and political leaders across the country to use their influence (or a peaceful set tlement of the civil rights problem was contained in a resolution passed by the ex ecutive board of the Young Republican Federation of Ore gon Sunday. IT stumped us all. So we went to the ref erence books. The available volumes were silent on the subject. So I asked our read ers about it. Time passed, with no response. Then, one day, Ken McLeod came in with the answer. "That quotation you were asking about a while back" he said, "is from Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America. What he said was this: "Democracy in the United States will last until those in power learn that they can perpetuate themselves through taxation." The committee reported that subversive activities is suing from Cuba have in creased considerably in the last year. From the communique is sued at the close of Castro's visit to Moscow it has been concluded that Moscow's aid to Cuba, currently running about $300 million a year, not only will be continued but will be stepped up. This is the kind of lid which has enabled Castro to make Cuba a headquarters for tht training of hundreds of sub versive agents, who then are sent back to their own coun tries equipped with money, weapons and forged docu ments. A Sino-Soviet compromise at their meeting scheduled for next month in Moscow almost certainly would see switch to the Chinese line of direct revolutionary action now, rather than the slower ap proach through popular polit ical fronts as heretofore advo cated by Khrushchev. Counter measures may be considered from two angles. One is the probable effective ness of the Organization of American States and group ac tion to quarantine Cuba and cut off the flow of men, weap ons and subversive propaganda. The other Is to attempt to gauge the strength of individ ual Latin American nations to resist such attacks by them selves. Despite earnest attempts, group action under the OAS so far has been ineffective primarily because of the re luctance of such states as Mex ico, Brazil and Chile to inter fere in Cuban affairs. Among the individual na tions, Venezuela is a No. 1 Communist target. But there, determined action by Presi dent Romulo Betancourt's gov ernment has forced the Com munists into retreat even though they remain capable of acts of terrorism in Caracas. In Peru, Argentina and Bra. zil, military forces either in actual control or on the side lines block a Communist take over. In such cases, the U. S. finds itself on the horns of a dilem. ma. The U. S.-sponsored Alii ance for Progress is dedicated to the aid of governments elected by democratic proc esses. But in more than one Latin American nation, quick mili. tary action might prove de mocracy's defense against a Red take-over by infiltration, subversion and terror. Matter ot Fact By Jfteph Ale (e) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris fc- Field Enterprise!, Inc. WHO is de Tocqucville? He was a French histor ian, known for his studies of the nature and operation of democracy with the view o( advancing the rule of the peo ple and at the same time con trolling its undesirable ten dencies. His Democracy in America, published about 1833, is called the first im partial and systematic study of American institutions. He served for some time on a special French mission to the United States and during that period he gathered the mate rial tnat resulted In his criti cal study of American insti tutions. His conclusion that "de mocracy in the United States will last only until those In power learn that they can perpetuate themselves in of fice through taxation" is at least Interesting In these days ot fantastic government spending. VOW it's the Chronicles Herb Caen who it in trouble. From a reader away up in South Bend, Wash., a few days ago, he got two post cards, spaced a couple of days apart. The first one read: "The industrial fire train ing course (or our area will be conducted on May 27 at the Grange hull in Hump-tulips." The second postcard read: "The industrial (ire train ing course scheduled (or May 27 at Humptullpj is can celled because the Grange hall burned down. THIS prompted Herb to comment: "You are now up to dale on Humptulips, Washington and I refuse even to conjec ture on the derivation of that name. "The mind reels at the thought of it." J Readers of this column Rally around! Let's help Herb out. Incidentally. I have often wondered myself about the origin of the name Hump tulips and how It rame to be conferred on a town. a MOIST AND DRY The warm, moist people al ways feel cheated or let down by the dry, cool people. And the dry, cool people always feel e m b a r rassed by the warm, moist people. I have a friend in the West who is a fine person, but warm and moist. H e i s arrla full of feel ings, very big on Friendship, on Letters, on Photos of the family. He goes for "Real Hu man Beings." My own temperament tends more toward trie dry ana cool. I write no letters, carry no photos, find any effusive ness rather sticky. This has nothing to do with my feel ings, only with my way of expressing them. This bothers the warm, moist people. They feel that their friendship is not ada q u a t e 1 y raturnad. They want you to be as demon strative as they are. Thair ideal of true companionship is sitting around a camp fire, holding hands in a circle, and singing old songs. It is hard la gat them to understand that one can be a trua friend without tar ing so every half -hour, without writing long, chatty letters, without celebrating the fraternal ritet. Thair tentiiWltr it to acute that every omission teams a tnub, every underttatement teems a rebuff. They inter pret a difference of temper ament as a pertentl affront lo their own coda of living relationships. Soma of them, indeed, are to axcettlva in their un remitting detira to prove their friendship that they remind me of what Tally rand taid about Mme. da Staalt "She it tuch a good friend that the would throw all her acquaintancet into the walar (or the pleasure of fishing them out," And, no, doubt, we dry, cool personalities are just as vex ing and trying to them. We must seem singularly unre sponsive, changeable, uncom municative, and frightfully off - hand about the sacred bond of friendship. They must wonder if we have any "real feelings at all. Laissez (aire may or may not be a good economic pin losophy; it is certainly the best emotional philosophy, Live and let live, each in his own way. working out his own life-style - this is the only sensible attitude to take toward those around us, close or not. But it is devilishly hard (or many people to do. Parents, especially, become infuriated if their children differ tem per a m e ntally from them selves; they look upon it al most at a rejection or repudi ation - which, indeed, in tome cases It may be. A warm. moist parent tends to breed a cooler and drier child, as an inevitable reaction to all that steam. There Is no right or wrong in matters of this tort: per sonalities are as different at fingerprints. And if we ar ever going to learn to love our enemies, the best way to start is by tolering our friends a little better, and not trying to change them. i ''' l.pliVj.;,-W. J Of THE 'AMERICAN HOME' ISSUE Avon, Conn. - Connecticut used to be, and still ought to be, a strong center of support for the presi dential ambi tions of Gov. Nelson Rocke feller of New York. This is h i s neighbor state, and in all the Repub lican contests since 1932, the Alt Con necticut delegation has always sup ported the more progressive presidential aspirant. Further, more, the New York Gover nor already had Connecticut pretty well lined up - until his recent remarriage. in that earlier time, one man who was virtually cer tain to be a key Rockefeller delegate to the Republican Convention was former Sen. Prescott Bush, whose stand ing in the state has been in no way diminished by his voluntary retirement from ac tive politics. CONSIDER, therefore, what has now happened. Sen ator Bush has just made the commencement speech at Rosemary Hall, a girls' school in Greenwich, Conn. Although he is the very opposite of a Goldwater Republican, the Senator chose this occasion for the plainest speaking about Gov. Rockefeller that has yet been heard from any quarter. Have we," he inquired, "come to the point in our life as a great nation where the Governor of a great state - one who perhaps aspires to the nomination for Presi dent - can desert a good wife, mother of his grown children. divorce her, then persuade a young mother of four young sters to abandon her husband and . . . children and marry the Governor? "Have we come to the point where one of the two great political parties will confer upon such a one its highest honor and greatest responsi bility? . . . (Are Americans) ready to say 'phooey' to the sanctity of the American home and the American fam ily? ... I venture to hope not." a . DOSSIBLY because this kind of language is so startling, at least when used by a poli tician rather than a preacher, almost no newspapers in Con necticut or elsewhere save the Bush speech a big play. Yet Senator Bush was not doing a mere moral turn for a special occasion, such as a girls' school graduation. After the speech, he stated for quotation that Governor Rockefeller should now "pub licly withdraw" from the presidential race. In the same breath, he added what was already well known, that he had previously favored tha Governor's nomination. Politics being politics, the (act that the Bush speech did not receive wide current pub licity is of no great signifi cance. One can all but hear the supporters of Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and oth er Republican hopefuls gloat ingly giving their printing; orders for vast future mail ings of the Senator's remarks to every person who may con ceivably influence a single Republican delegate. When something of this sort hat been said, it can never be un-said. a a ALL in all, without enter ing Into the moral pro and cons, the Bush speech is a major political phenome non. With a kind of dire final ity, it indicates that Governor Rockefeller's remarriage is an even bigger political handi cap than most people have supposed, or at least hava been willing to say. On this point, there is additional sig nificant evidence. In brief, Republican leaders here were among the first to be telephoned by New York National Committeeman George Hinman when the ablo Hinman passed the word that the Governor was indeed go ing to remarry, and begged all Rockefeller friends to stand fast nonetheless. Yet the former Rockefeller support in Connecticut is now all over the lot, to put it very mildly indeed. The plain truth is that, as a presidential aspirant, Gov ernor Rockefeller now looks nearly as dead as the proverb ial smelt - unless some great, unforeseen, reviving act brings him back like Lazarus from the tomb. Obviously, lie will seek to try such an act. Probably his speechwriters) are already studying the class ic utterance which was large ly written by Winston Church ill for the Duke of Windsor. One can imagine making what might be called a reverse adaptation ot the Windsor ab dication speech for Governor Rockefeller's case. AN EFFORT of that sort that would be effective obviously cannot be ruled out. Governor Rockefeller is a man of immense ability and energy. He has the only seri ous political organization in the field in the whole Repub lican party. If anyone can make a comeback, he ought to be able to make a comeback. Yet making a comeback certainly will, not be easy. The greatest single weakness of the Governor's position may be defined as the absence of a Republican Hubert Hum phrey. In 1980, President Ken nedy's greatest piece of luck (although he did not think so at the time) was Senator Hum phrey's eagerness to enter pri maries, in which President Kennedy then proved his own vote-getting powers. In the present instance, none of the other Republican presidential hopefuls, declar ed or possible, has the small est intention of entering a pri mary. It will not do Governor Rockefeller much good to run In New Hampshire, for in stance, against the empty air. Hence it will be interesting to see how the Governor han dles his problem. lMUl ill I I "111 be around after tht period ef megrninj!" 4
