JULY U, 1963 Death and ' "We know a man who worriei about the population explosion and death on the highways at the aamc tlme."-Giles French in the) Sherman County Journal. If this is intended to point up an inconsistency in thought, we think it fails. In our view, it is exactly the same type of man who would worry about both things. The key is compassion. A man can be horrified at the slaughter on the highways, thinking of the 'waste of human talent and of the cruel emotional shock to friends and relatives. The same man can be horrified at the thought of millions of children the world around existing on the edge of starvation, with no hope of living meaningful lives, or obtaining any of the physical niceties or educational opportunities which we take so much for granted. e rEATH and non-birth Death is the ending birth is nothing, a simple absence of life's be ginning. The deliberate ending of a human being's life is murder. Prevention of. a life from beginning is not. Death is the loss of a more-or-less known identity. Birth control, whatever its motivation, is a decision to avoid an unknown identity. It is seldom if ever that life is taken with good motives. But prevention of birth can occur for reasons ranging from the purely selfish to the completely altruistic. And others are not harmed thereby, even when motives are selfish. E.A. Jackson Campground We were nrivilerred to narticinate in the dedi cation of the new Jackson Campground on the Applegate river Sunday. auspicious occasion. The sun was out and shining warmly, but there was a cool, pleasant breeze. The barbecue dinner served by the Upper Applegate Grange was a treat to gourmet and gourmand alike. The program was both interesting and mercifully snort. There was a pleasant atmosphere of friend liness and informality.

Future plans call for outdoor early-day mining museum, and for con struction of a permanent dam in the river, to serve the double purpose ana cnanneling water into the Irrigation ditch which takes off from there.

The site is an old minine claim, which was on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. When the land exchange program oi tne ous was completed, it came under the jur isdiction of the Forest Service, which early recog nized the recreational potential of the area. Jackson county entered the picture by accept ing the land, obtaining a quit-claim deed to the mining claim property, and then reconveying it to the Forest Service for development. The result is excellent an area which will long serve the outdoor pleasures of the people of the area and their visitors. The main problem, of course, is that it is inadeciuate to the demand already, and the need sucn places wnere wnoiesome, outdoor family type of recreation is available. E.A.

Mr. Richardson called to point out the im portance of the white blind or visually handicapped, and to ask that our readers oe reminded HAD thought that everyone knows the Tf meaning of a white cane. But perhaps not. It is the symbol of blindness or a severe visual handicap. Only such people are legally entitled to carry one. And it gives them a legal nght-of way when in crosswalks in the street. A new law passed by the 1963 legislature, which will go into effect in September, will give white cane bearers the right of way even when not in crosswalks. Surely no one would deliberately endanger the life of a blind person by ignoring the white cane and the message of warning which it con veys. E.A. Non-Birth are not the same thing. of a human life.

But, Mrs. Hamilton, who had a yen for writing about the coyotes, is not familiar with their species. Those animals, sometimes seen but more often heard, are true wolves, larger than coyotes, who range in lower areas. Wolves colored some what similar to coyotes have rounder forehead and white or light gray tips on their tails. There brief "bark" is hardly audible while their howl is long, loud and high pitched. They are classified as western "Lobo' wolves. They may be seen or heard from Indian Glade through out the primitive lakes area and into Klamath county. More rarely, the still larger, gray "Timber'" wolf ranges throughout the Mt. McLoug- lln area. I have seen all these animal varieties in Mt. McLoughlin areas, and at lower altitude, and have also eaten the orig inal varieties of fish from those lakes and streams. Miss Venlta Daley 343 North Crape st, . Medford Seks Descendants To the Editor: I am trying to locate some descendants of Samuel Peter Thomas, born Dec. 4, 1853 In Wisconsin. His wlf was Lena Wilkinson. They settled at Leeds, Ore., In the northern pari oi jaexson county at an early date, pos sibly 1875-80. I am not certain about whether they had a family. Of course they are both dead now and presumably buried at or near Leeds. Is there a cemetery at Leeds? I could not even locate Leeds until I found it in a 1912 atlas. Are there any early settlers left around there? Walter D. Thomas 952 North Hobart rd. Los Angeles 29, Calif.

McNinch, M.D. Chief Medical Director Veterans Administration Washington, D.C, All Is Vanity To the Editor: The future Is all but the passing moment in which nature disposes of all things in Its turn. We are all stuff as dreams are made of, and very disturbing dreams at that. Forty years from now, man and his ways will change little, less than in a thousand years. For example, they will marry, be given in marnaRc, breed children, and love again will find its way with their children also. Men will still heap riches for others left behind them, or to use in their old age. They will seek a great place in the world for themselves, be crafty, use flattery, and be suspicious of others. They will wait upon death of another to befall their fortunes, wait for year ly festivals, for business to the use of a pen name or initial the case. take a good turn, wait for wars and for peace. Men will always wait on sickness and desolutions to pass, only to find they sud denly have grown old and life is no longer at all. One after another, to each in their turn, to all people and times and according to one pattern of the utmost strivings, all re turn dissolved into dust again. How often my name and your name have been spoken today. Tomorrow will not be remembered, but lay a heap of sand blown about by the restless wind, disturbed by barking dogs and quarreling people. What are we under the dust of our great battles of life? The final hour is the greatest surprise of man's life as one always lives his life as if there were no end. In the final hour there's no hu mor which now claims to be one of our personal dignities, not even a memory or reason for the importance we held on earth in haughtiness and pride. All is vanity, like a ball cast into the sky, some times rises to great heights, back to earth, bounces again into the air until each bounce weakened by the fall finally has found its resting place, the dust of the ground. E. Dykes Central Point, Ore. Camping Fees To the Editor: The Howard Prairie concessionaire states in the Tribune on 7-9-63 that one dollar a night is charged at the lake. They forgot or neglected to say, it's one dol lar a day also. For instance, if you go to the lake on Satur day afternoon and intend to come home Sunday, you pay for Saturday night one dollar, and Sunday one dollar. Where I come from that's two dollars a night. Just try to get in for one dollar. My boys and t went to the lake a couple of weeks ago. We arrived at 3:30 Saturday afternoon. Same old two bucks. My wife come up at 7 p.m. Saturday. Still same old two bucks. So where do they get the one dollar a night? While in camp I talked to several and the same thing happened to them, so some of you that this has happened to let people know about it. Also Mr. Lcdward states $6,980 was spent for dock repairs. I'd like to get the Job building them at that price, anyhow the docks that are there now. Maybe part of the $6,980 was to pay for some of the boats that were sunk that somebody collects storage on. Also if the docks had been built up by the dam where Ihcy belonged in the first place maybe they wouldn't have blown away. Anyhow, you can't get in for a dollar a night, not on the work end. I know if I don't like it I don't have to go lo the lake, but I Imagine my taxes are helping pay for part of it. Paul II. Martin, 825 West Second st., Medford.

MEDFORD. OREGON World On Optimism By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Perhaps unfortunately for the bad taste that could come later, there is a mounting feel ing that the I world is at the I threshold of f I profound V IV I changes. In t. I Western capi- I itals the hope I i"V" . I is that it will I TCI I be for the bet- Hl ter. Chief ba- sis for this 'hope is the widening split between the Soviet Union and its Red Chi nese allies, and the corollary belief that a split with Red China would make Nikita Khrushchev more amenable toward reaching understand ing with the West. Lending support to these hopes have been a number of factors: stead of nearly two miles, above sea level. This energetic cousin of our titmice is one of those birds whose name, like the Dewee's and the shrike's. mimics its call. Such sound- mimicry is perhaps one of the first beginnings of language. It is said the word "river in the Sanskrit of our forebears, is "flu," the sound of which, when pronounced, almost de scribes the "flow of a stream. So, too, the word "chickadee" describes the "chick-a-dee- dee" call of our feathered friend. The social chickadee is one of the birds almost certain to be seen by the patient ob server, motionless in his sleep ing bag at dawn. At a perma nent camp they are easily trained to eat from one's hand. A nursery of four is a small family. There are usual ly 5 to 9 eggs and sometimes two broods a year. This indi cates a high chickadee mor tality. Some sea birds, Dr. Grinnel says, lay only one egg yearly to maintain their race. There is a Himalayan cousin of the chickadee that is black, with a crest of brilliant yel low. Many birds, modestly colored with us, have gor geously - gowned clansmen in Asia. C. M.

Threshold of Changes, But Flavored In Moscow, the Ideologi cal battle between the two Communits giants has been going according to the script laid down weeks and months ago by tha warring propagan da organs of the two nations and no compromise appears in sight. Khrushchev'i own appar ent belief, as reported to NATO by Belgian Foreign Minister Paul Henri Spaak, is that now is the time to reach some agreement on at least a partial nuclear test ban and that such an agree ment is possible in the talks which began this week. Of lesser Importance but a straw in the wind, the arriv al in Moscow this week, at the Soviets' invitation, of an Indian team seeking Russian air-to-air missiles and other arms and equipment whose use clearly would be intended as defense against Red China. In London, where hopes of an eventual accord with the Soviets always have run high er than in Washington, fancy has so far outstripped fact as to lead to speculation that partial agreement now on a nuclear test ban naturally would lead to an East-West summit. The factors leading to these mounting hopes have been re ported from Western capitals by correspondents with access to high sources. But a note of caution is not amiss. Strictly Personal By Sydney J.

Somewhere in his fine book of reflections, pub lished more than 30 years ago, "Life and tha Stu dent," Charles Horton Coo lay observes, "It u tha mark of a rarely stable mind that antagonism can not drive it to extremes."

S. negotiator Averell Harriman who said before leaving London that a test ban agreement is "not in the bag by a long shot." Khrushchev admittedly has big problems on his hands. But he did not reach his high estate in the Soviet hier archy by giving away all the cards in his hand in advance. In the Red Chinese he faces a formidable adversary. One of his strongest weap ons against them is the threat that he will reach accord with the West, a possibility which he now is encouraging. On their part, the Chinese already have labelled the ide ological talks in Moscow a failure, but they also say they can be patient. Matter of Fact (c) New York Herald TAX CUT - AND AFTER Washington - The old mas ter of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Wil bur Mills of Arkansas, is at last ready c to begin writ ing the much talked about, but as yet non - existent, 1963 tax bill. Ever since the end of the AJsnp hearings o n the Administration's propos als for a major tax cut, the Ways and Means Committee draftsmen have been hard at work. The full committee will now put the bill itself to gether from the raw material provided by the technicians; and above all, the committee will reach decisions on the crucial question of the new income and corporate tax rates. What those decisions will be can be fairly confidently predicted. After an initial re verse, the day has been won by those who wish to remove the so-called "dividend cred it" from the income tax sys tem.. This reform will re capture $500 million per an num for the Treasury. Other bits and pieces of reform will bring the total recaptured to $1.3 billion or about $2 bil lion less than- the President originally proposed. THE reduced recapture in turn almost aiitnmaHrallv establishes the new tax rates. Income tax rates will be cut to give a. high of 70 per cent lifstead of the existing 95 per cent, with a . low of 15 per cent. The corporate tax rate will be reduced, in parallel, to 47 per cent from the present level of 52 per cent, These rate reductions, bal anced against the recapture already noted, will provide a total tax cut on the order of S9.5 to $10 billion - the amount the President asked for in the first instance. The cut will be made in two an nual steps, however. Other things being equal, therefore, next year's Federal, deficit will be held to about the pres ent level, instead of going much higher as originally ex pected. Such is the tax package that can now be rather confi dently expected to be pre sented to the House of Repre sentatives . by the Ways and Means Committee. The formal presentation will not occur, however, until late in August at the earliest. Rep. Mills and his committeemen first have to perform the always-diffi cult feat of persuading the House to vote the annual ex tension of a higher Federal debt ceiling. ' . IT IS much too early, there fore, to attempt any detail ed prediction of the House re sponse to the new tax bill Yet it seems extremely un likely that the House will re ject the handiwork ,of Wilbur women!; world-unity WORLD PEACE THROUGH "WORLD.

After all. leek at tha Western Alliance, the Communist block, lha Democratic Party, tha Republican Party, tha Negre movement, acience. religion In short, peoplel" Agreement can come now or a year from now or later. The Chinese have been care ful not to stir the enmity of the Soviet people. All of their fire has been centered upon Khrushchev personally and they are banking on his down fall. Meanwhile, they also will be careful to keep their lines to Moscow open. As for a test ban, it already is too late for any such agree ment to include either Franca or Red China, and without tha latter especially, sooner or later it must become almost meaningless. If a change for the better Is on the way, it still must bo regarded aa practically invis ible. - By Joseph Alsap Tribune Syndicate Mills and his colleagues, who have a way of winning the other members' acceptance of whatever they have done. The Senate is a different matter. By the time the House acts on the tax bill, he Senata is likely to be locked in filibuster on the new civil rights bill. But it is now gen erally accepted (grim ard dreadful though this may be) that Congress will remain in session until close to Christ mas. And so there will bo time enough for Senate action on the tax bill before the in terminable session terminates. That will not be the end tit the story, either; 1963 is ap parently to be a truly historio year on the fiscal frnni To begin with, the testimony by octiciary oi me Treasury Douelas Dillnn hoFniB tu. Congressional Joint Economic? Committee recently offered clear hints of a rise in short term interest rates designed to improve the TT. R kiiin of payments position. This rise would be put into effect only after the tax cut. A TAX cut, said Secretary Dillnn "ninny UA - - t ., ..uuiu uc JlluSh helPfUl in nffspttin anv verse effect of such action on our domestic economy." It Can be aitthnritatUfAlw stated that the nresent ntan m to take the action thus hinted at, as soon as the tax bill has passed. The economic stimu lus of a massive tax cut la counted on to neutralize tha normally restrictive influence of the rise in interest rates. Interest rate-rise, in turn, is counted on to save between $500 million and $700 million of annual dollar outflows. In addition, tha AHminic- tration has already taken soundings on Capitol Hill, with favorable results, about another dollar-safe.euarriintr scheme of a more unusual na ture. The idea is to restrict, or even to put a semi-halt to tha use of the U. S, capital mar ket as a source of funds for long term improvement abroad. rpHE City of Copenhagen, the 1 City of Milan, many Can adian municipalities and puh 1 i c authorities, numerous other fundseekers of the same sort, have recently sold bonds in the U. S. This year's total outflow of dollars resulting from foreign bond, sales here will amount to about $1.5 bil lion. Hence it is proposed lb stop this leak, from whigh the U. S. economy gains noth ing, by giving the Treasury authority to levy an excise tax on foreign bonds sold in the United States. The final decision has not been taken, but the chances are already very high that this proposal will be placed before Congress after tha House vote on the tax bill. Economically and fiscally, in short, the tax bill is only ona part, though by far the lar gest part of a more complex pattern. ANSWER1,
