Newbry In touching on the controversial Hell'i Canyon dam Issue tald, "in the Baker area, and throughout Eattern Oregon, many men dream of a multiple purpose dam in the Hell'i Canyon of the Snake river. He added a debate it waging between private and public ownerthlp of power development!.". The People and the Court The U. S. Supreme Court's history has been varied. There have been periods of relative quiet, and periods of flaring controversy and criticism We are now in one of the periods of contra- versy. which has been raring since the 1954 school desegregation decision. In the eyes of some, the Court can do nothing rieht. Even the motives of its members are sus pect by some ultras of the right, and the John Birch society has prepared an "Impeach bail Warren packet," which relates the supposed transgressions of the Chief Justice, e e e e THE Court is singularly defenseless against such attacks. Traditionally, the Justices do not talk about the decisions thev have made, ex cept in the formal written opinions. Justice Tom Clark breached this tradition re cently to give some of the Court's background thinking on the 1962 school prayer decision. He was moved to do so largely by the uninformed attacks on that decision by people who either misunderstood it, or who deliberately miscon strued it simply for purposes of attack. A President or a Congressman can speak out in defense of his actions, and even take the of fensive. But the Court, restrained by traditions of dignity and judicial constraint, cannot. aeeee . THIS does not mean that the Justices ignore such attacks, or are not injured by them. In 1913, Justice Holmes said : "It it very painful, when one tpendt all the ener giet of one't toul In trying to do good work, with no thought but that of tolving a problem according to the rulet by which one It bound, to know that many tee ainltter motives." On the other hand, the Justices are little in fluenced in their deliberations by such attacks. New York Times Reporter Anthony Lewis wrote recently : "One thing that can be aald with certainty it that exaggerated criticism, personal attacks and ignorant mouthlngi have no influence on the Justices. "The Justices know that they are least trying their beat to do in honett job, and to they can hardly admire those who attack their motivations." 20 YEARS AGO Juna 28, 1843 (Sunday) San Quentln prison escapee hunted in southern Oregon From Arthur Perry't "Ye Smudge Pot", column: "The fair sex are now tanning their shapely thankt with the con tents of a bottle procured at the drugstore.

Olympic Banefli To the Editor: As you may have been informed, a large group of organized skiers from the Portland area have embarked on a state-wide pro motion for fundi for our Unit ed Statei teams going to the 1964 Olympic Games in Inns bruck, Austria. Few people realize that ath letes from many other coun tries are tubsidized or sup ported by their governments, their training and coaching are paid for; literally, they are being paid to become the best in their field. In the United States, however, our athletes must depend on their own re source! and relatively few do nations from interested par ties. There have been many Instances where potential Olympic competitors have been unable to meet the ex penses Involved for travel and training campi, or even quali fying meets; hence they are lost to the U. S. Many of our star athletes are forced to turn nrnfeHBlonal nt the hetflht cisions on fact and on law, the facts and the laws! of their powers and we must WHILE the Court can shrug off such know nothing slanders, it is not impervious to the broad trends and changes of public opinion. It may not be true, as Finley Peter Dunne's "Mr. Dooley" remarked, that: "No matther whether th' constitution follows th' flag or not, th Supreme Coort follows th' uiction returns. But it is true that the temper of the times and the feelings of the broad majorities of the people do, inevitably, affect the thinking of the Court.

And if it is any balm to to the German ego, another d i stinguished visitor also is proving to the lewwaa German peo ple that they are indeed "wanted." Tbit latter ii Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev who osten sibly it to help East Germa ny'! Communist strong man Walter Ulbricht celebrate his 70th birthday. Khrushchev will stay on the eastern tide of the wall, and to his route will coincide neither with that of Kennedy nor of De Gaulle. Yet there it a tuspicion that his motives are not too differ ent from those of the other two. In the West German press there is speculation that Khru shchev already, hat made pre liminary moves toward a con tact with West German. As sistant Chancellor Ludwig Er hard who it scheduled this fall to step Into the shoes of outgoing Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. It is speculated that a first move was made through Ber thold Beitz, a representative of the German Krupp indus tries, who recently "talked with Khrushchev in Moscow and followed that up imme diately with long, and so far secret, talks with Erhard In Bonn. A further preliminary was Moscow's clear indication that it hoped to step up trade with West Germany. The Soviet-German trade agreement expires at the end of this year and must be re negotiated. All this leads up to Khru shchev's current visit, and the further interesting line of speculation that results from the wall which the Commu nists threw across Berlin on Aug. 13 two years ago, have not been entirely at expected. In an earlier visit to East Berlin last January, Khrush chev conceded that the wall had created "certain discom forts." But a more troublesome as pect of what the Hamburg newspaper Die Zeit calls the "wall complex" appeared in the cool reception given by West Berlin businessmen to Soviet attempti to increase contacti either by diplomat! or trade missions. The "wall complex" alto clearly must affect Soviet re lation! with any West German government, whether it be Adenauer's or Erhard'i. It leemi possible, therefore, that beyond helping Ulbricht to celebrate his birthday, Khrushchev also will tell him that some of the harsh condi tions pertaining to the wall must be relaxed. This is not to imply that the wall will, at did the walls of Jericho, come tumbling down. The Communists in recent weeks broke one additional hole through the wall to pro vide access to East Berlin'! Schoenefeld airport. Another step may be to lift at least partially the present total ban against West Berlineri wish ing to visit the East Zone.

Even the Con stitution is sufficiently flexible to permit differ ing interpretations in different centuries. e a e AND, while the Court's rulings become the "law of the land," no law can stand in the face of a widespread or near-universal public feeling that it is wrong. The directives of the court are not self-enforcing. They must have at least a certain degree of support and concurrence from the people. lhe storm over last June s Regents Prayer case has largely subsided, and that which flared up over this month's Bible reading and school prayer cases has been less widespread and less violent. At least in part this has been due to the work of devoted churchmen who have thought about the Implications of government-imposed religious exercises in the public schools, and have con cluded that a true separation of church and state offers the greatest hope for strength and vitality within their own churches. e e e e IT IS our belief that the consensus of Americans 1 will support the school religon decisions. Ours is m-obablv the most nluralistic of all nations, both in origins and in faith. There are literally hundreds of different denominations, and well over one-third of the population the largest identifiable religious minority has no church ties whatsoever. We do not foresee the development of a consensus which demands the intrusion of what is essentially a personal and private matter religion into the public edu cational system, It also seems to us that in making its ruling the court sensed this. And, while the decision is fully justified on Constitutional grounds alone, it is also justified by the temper of the times. THE school desegregation decision of nearly a 1 decade ago may have been a bit premature. when judged by the standard of a national con sensus. Certainly it was far from coinciding with the views of a majority of white southerners. And throughout the nation, sentiment was slow to crystahze behind the Court's decision. It is now beginning to do so, impelled, m part, bv the fact that Negroes themselves are at long last demanding justice, nd their demands are beine recognized as legitimate and right, part of the American credo of equality of opportunity. Thus the Court was ahead of the people in this one Instance, as, it has been in others. It has served as educator as well as adjudicator. In its own unique way u provides a iuncuon or leader ship. The Court has no troops or police to enforce its decrees. But when it speaks out to say that the great Constitutional guarantees mean what they say, it is serving American purposes in a way of which all Americans can be SHOULD be proud.E.A.

"Your approach to the question! of the press," the official Army directive goes on, "should emphasize the positive aspects of your activities and avoid gratuitous criticism. Emphasize the feel ing of achievement, the hopes for the future and optimism in general. Or else. Well, you may not believe this, but we faced the very same situation in the neigh boring democratic bastion of West Vhatnnng, the only na tion on which I m an expert. The results were most pe culiar. e e It was in the 18th year of President Ngo Mahn Ngo's lightning campaign to wipe out all Moscow trained peas ants. His 16 divisions of U.S. military advisers were all in the front lines, giving advice tooth and nail. Indeed, they would occasionally even try dragging a loyal royal troop up to the front lines to ad vise personally. But It didn't work very well. Every time they d advise a loyal royal troop to stick his bayonet in a fellow Vhtnnngian, he'd swoon. So the Pentagon issued an official directive saying: "If you can't say something nice about somebody, it's 30 days on the rockpile. The very next day, U.S. military adviser first class Homer Crabtree was inter viewed in the front lines by ace newsmen, who asked his assessment of his Vhtnnngian comrades in arms. 'Gentlemen," said Mr. Crabtree, thinking carefully, in my 50 yeara of soldierine. I never did see more lovable fighting men than these loyal royal troops. Why, these tough jungle warriors can compose sad love sonct 48 hourt straight on a handful of rice. When It comes to love, they can take It and dish It out, no matter how heavy the enemy fire." i So the stories started pour ing in about how lovable the Vhtnnngians were and how lovely love was. And even some people in Washington began to wonder If loving peo ple wasn't better than stick ing bayonets Into them. In deed, there was talk of cut ting $86.19 from the Penta gon's budget to establish a bureau of love. Whit a crisis! But Just when all looked hopelest, the Pentagon'i As sistant Undersecretary for Im proving the Image of War came up with a radical solu tion. The first directive to our adviser in West Vhtnnng was canceled and a second issued which said: "Hence forth, when asked your opin ion of the war iLelt or of the fighting capabilities of the loyal royal troops, say exact ly what you. think." And it worked! For while our GIs expressed their opin ions to our ace newsmen in thousands and thousands of words, not a one of them was printable. President Kennedy sought to reassure the Germans specifi cally and Europe in general that they never would be abandoned by the United States. De Gaulle's posmou that the ooDOtite might even tually be true gave, he taid, aid and comfort to the enemy. Strictly Personal By Sydney J.

IN GERMAN citiet, the Pres. dent of the United States it getting the most wildly enthusiastic reception evef given in Europe to the head of a foreign state. . It is CERTAIN that he is receiving the warmest recep tion ever given in Europe by a conquered people to th leader of their conquerors. IN BONN, the capital of the West German Republic, the Germans turned out in droves to great him with wildly enthusiastic cheers. In Frankfurt, the dispatch es tell ut, he was literally engulfed in a human sea. Be fore making his speech, he) walked into the crowd and shook hands with some of tha people. At times, he literally disappeared from view. Then his head would reappear, ' turning from side to tide as the German crowd wildy chanted his name. In West Berlin he was al most deified. He tells tha West Berliners in German: "Ich bin ein Berliner" ( I am a Berliner) and they go lit erally wild with enthusiasm. WHY is the President of tha United States in Ger many? Why in particular is ha in Western Germany? WELL, he is there because " of the seeming madness of a strange and mystic Frenchman Charles Da Gaulle, President of France. France's president has seen fit to cast doubt upon the in tegrity of America's leader, ship in Western Europe and ' the PERMANENCE of Amerl- can assistance in resisting the spread of COMMUNISM throughout Europe. President Kennedy is there to reassure the people of free Western Europe that we will NOT leave them to stew in the corrosive juice of com. munism. He is there to tell them that to prevent such a catastrophe we will risk the nuclear destruction of our country. That's about the long and short of it. lyHAT of De Gaulle? ' He is a strange and mys tic character. From time to time, France produces such characters. There was Na poleon, for instance. De Gaulle is a soldier. Ha knows the Importance of the ancient maxim: DIVIDE AND CONQUER. If you can get your enemies divided, you can conquer them. He knows that if communism can divide the Free World, it will have a good chance to conquer tha Free World. Yet he is doing what ha is doing. TtHERE are many Strang things in this world. For example: We have fought the Ger mans in two wars. We have fought the British in two wars. We have fought the Span, ish In one war. We have fought the Jap. anese in one war. They are all NOW our friends and allies. WE HAVE NEVER fought the French. We have never fought the Russians. But Russia is the leader of world communism, which is committed to DESTROY us. And here is a Frenchman who seems to be committing himself to an effort to DI VIDE THE FREE WORLD thus (possibly) enabling com munism to destroy the Fre World.
