"There are only two klndi of men; the righteous who believe themselves sinners; the rest, sinners, who believe themselves righteous."-Pascal. Mem Mr California Newspaper Publisher Association Flight o' Time Medford and Jackson County Hlttory from tha tiles ol The Mall Tribune 10, 20,. 30, 40 and SO years aflO. "What happened to sin?" was the question to which one of Oregon's distinguished editors devoted a column not long ago. Charles A. Sprague, editor and publisher of the Oregon Statesman in balem, remarked: "Sin used to be a very live subject of theological discourse and for sermonizing. It is related that Jona than Edwards, the great preacher of colonial times, preached with such vigor in denouncing sin and the pains of hell to be visited on sinners that some of his auditors grasped the pillars of the church to avoid being swept into the fiery pit. Not many preach that gospel with such force these days." Not only is "sin" preached less than it used to be ; the concept itself, seems to have become less than fully valid in the minds of many men QIN is defined as transgression against the laws of God, and, by extension, the laws of man. In our increasingly secular society, with the influences of psychology and the other man- and mind-centered sciences or quasi-sciences, we are much more apt to probe for motivations and for the causes of action, than simply to label a man a "sinner," damned to perdition. . We are more apt to suggest psychoanalysis than reform: more apt to seek hidden motives than to judge actions on the basis of morality; more apt to try to cure than try to redeem.

' H I Mysterious Exile Is Political Power In Complicated Argentine Situation By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst In Montevideo, Uruguay, across the broad River Plate from Argentina,, a mysterious figure once M R. SPRAGUE comments: 10 YEARS AGO June 27. 18S3 (Saturday) The first West Coast Air lines flight from Medford to Klamath Falls left more than half-an-hour behind schedule when it took off at 1:02 p.m.; scheduled to leave at 12:30, the plane was late coming into Medford due to weather conditions. Anti-hail planes of the Rogue River Valley Traffic association seeded clouds built up to 16,000 feet threat ening hailstorms over the val ley. 20 YEARS AGO June 27, 1941 (Saturday) Robcne Starcher becomes third person to give hair tor war effort. From Arthur Perry's "Ye fcmtirlffA Pnt" column: "A Mae West story showed up in local ' giggling circles last week and . all report it was a pleasant change and relief from the current epidemic of little mor on talcs." 30 YEARS AGO June 27, 1933 (Monday) Prof. Henry Hartman urges valley fruitmcn to show unit ed front. . Jail inmate links Jailer to ballot thefts. ' "One might conclude that sin has been abolished, and sinning has become popular. What has happened .' to sin is that the former controls exercised largely ' through religion as well as the law have become less , binding. And society has not yet effected alternate controls that are binding." The moral sanctions which once applied against gambling, drinking, card-playing and dancing have almost disappeared. And almost anything which is not an out-and-out crime is condoned, if not approved. Transgressions against moral laws, as long as they do not affect another person, are taken to be an individual's own business. . DUT, Mr. Sprague concludes, there still is sin, even though the old codes have been modi fied: ,''' "... There is the sin of abuse of the body by vice or Indulgence; the sin of abuse of the mind by neglect, by mental atrophy, by filling it with trash or worse. There is the sin of the emotions, of greed and selfishness and passion. There is the collective Bin of abuse of power whether in business or In poll tics; and there Is the greatest sin of all, modern war. "So there Is still abundant reason for priests and -preachers to declaim against sin, for moral degrade tion corrodes the Individual and brutalizes society. And the recovery of spiritual health docs not come from the sublimation of psychiatry but from the old, , old path of penitence, confession and satisfaction." The "old, old path", is not always an easy one to follow. It takes courage, dedication and a lively faith to confess error and seek absolution particularly now that the sanctions once wield ed by the clergy have lost most of their force. And, as Mr. Sprague remarks, no alternative controls, save only the law and the mores of an ever more permissive society, have evolved. There is little indication that they will.

The French are anti-clerical but devout, as are the Italians, and the English long ago decided God rescmblod an English lord and worshipping Him in no way transgresses against their reserve. "Only Americans get upset about agnostics and atheists and the reason they do Is that most church goers don't like to be reminded of their own secularism." Thus both Mr. Sprague and Mr. Golden find much to be desired in today's America, the one wishing for a broader acknowledgement of the concept of transgression against the moral law, the other deploring the hypocrisy inherent in secularism and materialism among church-goers, X7E FIND it far easier to respect an out-and- out agnostic or atheist, who lives by his own moral code and in harmony with his neighbors. than to respect a church-goer who sanctimoni ously proclaims his piety and then violates half of the ten commandments in any given week. One of the fallacies which has hung on for years is that religion is a prerequisite for morality It is not. A good Christian or a good Moham medan may be strengthened in his observance of moral laws by his religion. But many non . i- ... i . i i - . i religious pcopie live ny just as suici a moral cotie as professedly religious people. The concept of sin may be easier for a devout person to comprehend and live by, but it is not unknown to others, to whom it may mean a trans gression of their own moral code. GIN, then, is not outmoded nor outdated, even in secular modern America, even though both the word and the concept have lost much of their currency. To some it may mean the violation of God's commandments, as revealed in the Dible. To others it may mean transgressions against a moral code based, not on religious teachings, but on the universal command to do unto othei-s what you would have others do unto you. Either way, a strengthened belief in the actu ality of Sin is something that Americans of all persuasions would benefit from achieving. E.A. Concerning Death i To the Editor: Your recent article, "The Rites of Death," suggested a number of ques tions. Shouldn't we quietly pre pare for death, knowing that man snares tne fate common to everything that lives? Is not each of us handed a combined Birth-Death Certificate when born? Some relatives seem to ap pear irom out of nowhere -to accomplish little more than a deepening of sorrow. Alas that they "had no time" be fore to pay even a simple vis- It! Why the rush now to wreathe flowers around the coffin, when they didn't prof fer even a wildflower to the living? Sometimes a widow "goes to pieces" over the death of her husband and withdraws from life: May It not be due to an unconscious feeling of re morse for having previously neglected her mate, rather than a conscious testimony of her undying love? Should not the church, with its dogma of the fundamental ly evil nature of man, bear its share of responsibility-along with the "death lndustry"-for the "maudlirt, deceptive and Dauan practices, with trap pings and rituals which do little enough to honor the dead or console the living"? And by what criterion do we choose tnose wormy to have a BIG funeral? Should such ns Al Capone, with his $90,000 lead casket, be so honored? Or Stalin, with his mausoleum? How come the great of earth are memorial ized with "storied urn, or an imated bust, while other hearts once pregnant with celestial fire" are rclegutcd to the potter's field? May not an imposing funeral signify little more than an ephemeral en deavor to prove social or re ligious status? I like what one minister said recently: "I want no cost ly stones around my gravo- if possible, no stones at an. And I don't want you to re visit my grave. I have no in tention of ever being any where near it after my fu neral, so 1 don't see why you should be." Why funerals at all? Those blown to bits on the battle fields of the world were never thus privileged! And, certain ly, if the atomic missiles fall there will be no need to even bury the dead! George M. Babcock 427 Hospital dr. Ashland, Ore. Have You . . . ? To the Editor: Have you seen a field of clover On a lovely, warm, June day? Have you seen the pink heads nodding In their quiet, lazy way? Have you heard the lark a-singing, Mcloriv a-bubhling out? From a yellow throat all trembly? Such a daring little scout! Have you seen the white clouds drifting, Hanging low in skies of blue Fluffy, fleecy things. Just loafing In the way that white clouds do? Heard the brown thrush singing sweetly? Heard the catbirds strident call? Watched the butterflies a-hov'ring O'er the Ivy covered wall? Oh. June, you are the loveliest Of all the months that fall, A happy tune, a Joyous time For man - for nature - all. Marv R. Jones, 428 North Holly st.. Medford . Old Pictures To the Editor: Old pictures stir nostalgia ; for ghost places I shall never see - quaint faces that will never be included In my destiny. ' A sun-splashed tree-lined avenue where wagons, sulkys, strollers pace' al quiet tempo -and the grace of calm existence lights each face. Scarce now the sun, trees few - and cars . monopolize the thoroughfare; supercharged and tense the air -serenity 'exceeding rare. A lownhouse once so proud and new , replaced now ' by a building tall - v garish signs upon a wall ' whore sweet pens use to rise and fall. : Cattle grazing In a field of springs, hillocks and roses wild crisscrossed by blacktop and defiled by billboards now -and debris piled. So sad, that if it were not for old pictures one might never know how tranquil, life, so long ago how exquisite the vale below. Thclma Carson,' Prospect, Ore. Subsidised Competition To the Editor: Federal spending for road, air and water transport facilities in 1963 amounts to more than half of the predicted $8.8 bil lion budget deficit for the fis cal year 1063, according to a study by the Association of American Railroads. The AAR found the federal government planning to spend $4.7 billion tor these forms of transporta tion in '63. State and local governments will spend an additional $10.2 billion. To add injury to Insult much of the money so spent comes from railroad taxes. If this discriminatory "transpor tation policy" is allowed to destroy our railroads, the na tion built by railroads will fall apart with them. Prcsi dent John F. Kennedy's re peated transportation message L&Ll again Is pull ing strings in Argentine pol itics. He is a stocky, bushy browed self made man in his late 40 's whose name is Rogelio Fri' gerio. He de scribes himself as a friend of former Argentine dictator In the Day's News v Br FRANK JENKINS . In ' Frankfurt, Germany, President Kennedy tells a mil lion cheering Germans that the United States will RISK ITS CITIES, if necessary, to defend its allies. He added: "A threat to the freedom of Europe is a threat to the free dom of America." He continued: "The Atlantic community is indivisible. Hundreds of thousands of - our soldiers serve with yours on this con tinent as tangible evidence of that pledge. Those who would doubt our pledge or deny this Indivisibility - those who would separate Europe from America . . or split one ally from another . . . would only give aid and comfort to the men who make themselves our adversaries and welcome any Western disarray." QUESTION: Whom was he talking to? The answer is rather plain. He was talking to a gentleman named De Gaulle. THIS may be taken for granted. . . This strange gentleman named De Gaulle was un doubtedly listening very carer fully Indeed to what Presi dent Kennedy was saying in Frankfurt, the ancient capi tal of Germany. He was watching and sizing up the MILLION cheering Germans who greeted Presi dent Kennedy as he arrived in Frankfurt to make the speech that was billed as the MAJOR address of his 12-day tour to West Germany, Berlin, Ire land and Britain. He must have been saying to himself: "What will these Germans do? Will they stick with me. In my proposal of a Surope for Europeans? Or will they stick with - the U.S.A.?'l . ' LETS put it this way: If the Germans stick with De Gaulle in a Europe for Europeans proposal, it will be about time for us to pick up our toys and come home. That s about the size oi tne situation that is shaping up. ON. THE lighter side: A dispatch from Bonn, in Germany, tells us that "Pres ident Kennedy has flunked in American history. In a brief speech at Cologne, he told the German crowd gathered In the city hall square. "As a citizen of Boston, which TAKES PRIDE IN BE ING THE OLDEST city of the United States " As a matter of history, the oldest city in the U. S. is St. August ine, in Florida, which was founded in 1365. Boston was founded in 1630, 65 years later. IT WAS a bit embarrassing, of course. But let's not blame our President too much for his slip. The speech, of course was written by his speech writers. That brings up another story. A while back, in Washing ton, Oregon's Senator Mau rine Neuberger sent out to to Congress offers a satisfac tory first step toward trans portation equity. K.

I was one of the yous." Juan D. Peron and ousted President Arturo Frondizi Right now the Argentine mill tary have a warrant out for his arrest if he should be so foolish as to return to Argentina. Which does not, however eliminate him as a force. Frigerio is mysterious be cause he seldom operates in the open. He did not even emerge as a figure in Argen tine politics until after Per on's overthrow in 1955. Bcfor that he was too busy making money, first through a chain of men's shops and, later, in the textile business. It was while trying his hand as editor of the news magazine Que, closed under Peron In 1946 and reopened In 1956, that Frigerio began plugging Frondizi for presi dent, a labor which occupied his attention all through 1957. According, to a story denied by Frondizi but claimed by Peron to be true, it was in 1957 that Frigerio went to Caracas, Venezuela, and sign ed a pact with a Peron repre sentative guaranteeing the Peronisla votes that led to Frondizi's election. 'At any rate, Frigerio be came Frondizi's all powerful social and economic czar after Frondizi's landslide victory in 1958. He is the figure credited with being in back of Fron dizi's reluctance to break with Cuba. . Strictly Personal - By Sydney J. Harris fc- Field Enterprises. Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES Nothing is easier to be proudly humble, passionately chaste, and dogmatically skep tical; when one pursues a virtue to its extreme, it be comes at last a contradiction in terms. What is important In his tory is not so much "what happened," but what peo ple made of it, how they thought about it and used it, for noble or perverted reasons of their own; and any history that is not in terlarded with some social psychology is nearly use less tor study. Family structure hasn't changed much in the genera tions since Chekhov remarked so. trenchantly: "When chil dren appear, we justify all our weaknesses, compromises, snobberies, by saying: 'It's for the children's sake.' " Nothing is more fatal to reform movements than suc ceeding: it is the destiny of reform always to be the party of opposition, for as soon as it sweeps into pow er it begins to be over thrown by succumbing to the same vices and defects it so successfully inveighed against. " Barbarous societies punish their satirists by imprisoning, exiling or killing them; but civilized societies, approach ing decadence! punish their satirists much more effective ly by laughing, lazily agree ing, and simply ignoring the truth behind the shafts. The most dangerous man is not the bad man; it is the ' one with just enough good in him to appeal to our sense of justice, and just enough evil te appeal to our instinct for revenge. Once the dancer has leap ed higher than ever before, we quickly become disconten ted with such leaps, and de mand that they be ever higher and higher; thus audiences in evitably bribe and blackmail art into acrobatics, trickery, showincss and a competition for setting meaningless rec ords. - To a shrewd observer, what a man displays in the breast pocket of his coat jacket is usually as good an index of his taste and tem perament as anything -whether pen and pencils are clipped on, or whether a square handkerchief with monograms is peeping out, or simply a pair of glasses, can tell ua volumes about a man's private image of himself. Some personalities make a lifelong career out of being disappointed in people, which enables them lo satisfy two disparate desires at once - to feel superior, and at the same time to rationalize their con tinual failures in personal re lationships. On of the most ominous signs of disturbance in mod- r n American society Is that wives, by and large, are more mature and leu content than their hus bands: and a social order can flourish only when the men are mature and the women are content. her ghost writer for a speech It started off like this: "When I was a BOY. things were quite different in our coun try" The ehost writer didn't know that Oregon's Junior senator is a woman. He is also credited with be ing the man responsible for the ouster of Roy Rubottom, U. S- ambassador to Argen tina and former assistant sec retary of state for . Latin American affairs. But he also is the man credited with Frondizi's ap peal to Fidel Castro to break off with Russia, and with the decision to invite foreign in vestment and aid in the de velopment of Argentina's oil industry. He is, to say the least, con troversial. Within recent months he has conferred with Peron in the latter's Spanish exile. As an individual, Frigerio is big business and speaks for big business - but Argentine big business. He likes Presi dent Kennedy but dislikes Wall Street. His objective Is to bring three million isolated follow ers of Peron back Into the)' country's political life in a union with the middle class followers of Frondizi. I The purpose, he said, is to" give the masses greater bene, fits and to spur the nation's economic benefits. The United States has en dorsed the popular front idea and hopes the Argentine mili itary will permit truly free) elections next month. Such, would seem to assure a vic tory for the combined Fron. dizi Peronlsta forces. At the moment, as Argen. tina drifts and its economy disintegrates, military decrees forbid either a Peronista can. didate for president or a can didate openly supported by Peron Istss. And whether Argentina (.would benefit by the return of the U. S. hating Peron of his policies is at best ex tremely "iffy." Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsep (c) New York Herald Trlbuna Syndicate Si TO THE NEW SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Washington-The warmth of President Kennedy's welcome in Germany is a significant political fact, in and of it self. It is bound to give added impetus to a h 1 g h 1 y important new trend of thought among the American pol- Aisnp icy-makers. The trend Is towards the formation of a new "special relationship" comparable to the rather time-worn U. S. British relationship and in some degree replacing it. And the people on the receiving end of this new special rela tionship are to be our prin cipal enemies in the last war, the Germans. The growing feeling that this is a good idea is highly important, precisely because such a German-American re lationship, if formed, will be so important. To be sure, it is bound to be a bit amor phous: relationships of any kind, whether personal or in ternational, are always hard to blueprint. VET CONSIDER THE im mense role played by the Anglo-Amarican special . rela tionship in' its period of great est -intimacy! and fruitfulness -which was the period before President , Eisenhower and P.rfl m e Minister Macmillan came to power. In that era, the British and American policy - m a k e rs worked together almost as though they had been serving the same masters. Their col laboration influenced every development, whether within the Western alliance, on in the West's unending contest with the Eastern bloc. Very nearly the same de gree of intimacy with the German government is now being advocated by men with great leverage in the State and Defense Departments and in the White House. There are at least three reasons for this high level support for such a major new departure. which was first proposed only a couple of months ago by former Secretary of State Dean G. Acheson. piRST OF ALL, Gen. de V Gaulle' has perhaps un intentionally sent German stock soaring on the interna tional market. If the Ger mans follow ocuaulle, an ex clusive, inward-looking Gaul list Europe will become a pos sibility. But if they are given the chance, as Dean Acheson suggested, the Germans will almost surely prefer partner ship with President Kennedy to partnership with dcGaulle. Secondly, the former spe cial relationship with Britain is by now pretty frail and under-nourished, being all but entirely limited to exchanges of nuclear data. Even with Prime Minister Macmillan, the Anglo-American policy disagreements currently out weigh the policy agreements. If Harold Wilson becomes Prime Minister, the position is likely to deteriorate) further. Finally, there Is also a more and more pressing need to re cast the structure of Western ' defense on a more realistic basis, or perhaps one should say a less fraudulent basis. THE GERMANS, WHO are matrinir tha mnl ,.a... defense effort of all the Euro peans, will also be the most affected by any changes in the existing defense structure. Hence they are the obvious partners of the Americans in this vital but delicate task. " The task is delicate because certain things are plainly go ing to need doing, which may cause disquiet abroad, and ' particularly in Germany, if they are not thoroughly dis. cussed and completely under stood before they begin to be done. For example, there are the steps which will be necessi. tated by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's pledge to reduce the burden on the bal ance of payments of the U. S. armed forces overseas, from the present level of $1.6 bil lion to a maximum of $1 bil lion. For tills purpose, super fluous bases will to be closedj superfluous bodies will have to be brought home, and so on. VI7HATEVER happens, Gen eral de Gaulle's propa gandists will then surely point to the steps being taken as proofs of the U.S. Inten tion to "abandon" Europe -which is what General de Gaulle hopes we will do. But the propaganda will not mat ter - it will fall on deaf ears, in fact - if the American plan has been carefully staffed out with our other allies, and especially with the Germans. A great many overseas ba sis of most of SAC's B-47 bombers, for instance, have long been entirely super fluous; and they also place a heavy burden on the pay ments - balance. The supply and support system of U.S. forces in Europe can also ba much slimmed down, from its present plethoric condi tion, without reducing U.S. fighting strength In the line. Further economies can ba made in the Far East, as well. There will be nothing to alarm anyone In all this, it the needed steps are merely understood before they are taken. But this is only the be ginning of the problem. When the NATO Secretary General. Dirk Stikker. completes his Ottawa-ordered hard look at p r o s p e c tive NATO forca levels, something will have to be done about the balance sheet Stikker presents. And once again, whatever needs doing can best be done by German - American collaboration. M A "Wonder U a beard would Improve mr aeeearsnct?"
