The British astronomer made a 12,000-mile tour of Soviet space installations and found the Russian scientists were debating the desirability of racing for the moon. "I would say the Americans are racing them selves, bir Bernard concluded. WE ARE WITH President Kennedy in say ing the United States should go right ahead with it program, no matter what the Russians decide to do. The President commented last week when a reporter asked if the Russians drooped The moon challenge, is not only one of excitement and interest but oi our capacity to dominate space. Ihe boviets have a lead in space and are diverting very considerable resources Anyone who urges drop out of a race in which it is behind, would leave this countiy open to a loss of leadership not alone in space, but in the realization of man's potential. OUR VIEW IS THAT MAN not necessarily American man, but mankind cannot re linquish his right and responsibility to explore the explorable. That is his destiny. If he is afraid of meeting the challenge of destiny, he had better go back to Mesopotamia where he came from. So we say no to a halt. Should the Russians . i , i F, a i t-..:i.;-i. l! wisn to solicit American in studying the man - on all means let the scientists join in studying it. Cooperation in probing space would obviously be sensible if the two suspicious giants who have separately ventured into it could break down the barriers between them. San Francisco Chronicle. Right Name, Recently, in another newspaper, we saw a letter from a woman who complained that too many geographical features in Oregon have con fusingly identical names. She said, for example, that recently fishermen flocked to the Salmon River near her home on the coast at Otis, because of a radio report that the Salmon River had been stocked with fish. It turned out that it was the Salmon Rivev on Mt. Hood that had been stocked and the fishermen went The nuiisia nf f ho urnman'a rnmnluinf. urae von . ogmzecl many years ago on Oregon place names, the preface to the first (1928) edition of his book, "Oregon Geographic Names," McArthur wrote : "There are probably 50,000 geographic features in Oregon sufficiently important to be distinguished by names. At least half of these features deserve but minor consideration. For the most part they bear simple descriptive names with no historical back ground.

If the Oregon board approves it, the name will be forwarded to the U.S. Board on Geograph ic Names in Washington. If the U.S. board also approves, the name becomes standard thereafter on government maps. There is one caution: The Oregon Board is not likely to change a name if it is deeply im bedded in the tradition and usage of the peo ple. Some creeks are just born to be Fish Creek.

And Rock efeller's blast on "radical ex tremists," should put pride in the hearts of right-wingers. Webster says radical means original. That is what they are trying to uphold, the original Constitution, which the super- ultra liberal left extremists are trying to throw out the window. It was the right-wine pat riots who protested against the conditions they had been living under, that made tnis a free America. When the peo ple control their government they are free; when the gov ernment control, the people, they are slaves. It Is getting so now that an individual ha. little freedom, even on his own properly. As of old It was "Freedom at any price," now its "Peace at any price," even to selling out to the enemy. They cry 'Peace when there is no peace." (Jcr: 8:11.) Regarding Freedom, you are cither for It or against It, there can be no neutral or middle-of-the-road. God Is the author of lib erty.

No Allarnallvo To the Editor: Whv does the Golden Rule consistently fail to work except on a very lim ited scale among a few in dividuals? The answer is simple. As children we were taught a be lief in this "Judeo-Christian" ethic, as it is sometimes called, but later as adult, we found ourselves In a veri table competitive Jungle in which there was no place lor brotherhood or love or any other sentiment. The Golden Rule was re written under our present way of life to read: "Do other, before they do you."

OREGON the case, the feelings, and even the ele mentary rights, of others. The present economic and social order compels people to make a mockery of their deepest beliefs and to violate them in their daily lives. The resulting inner conflict be tween what they know to be right and what they are forced to do in their efforts to 'get ahead" or just survive, is the principal reason for the pervasive neuroses in Amer ica and mental illness gen erally. There is no alternative to working intelligently for the kind of world in which coop eration and brotherhood w:ll supersede the outmoded prin ciple of competition.

Missed The Point To the Editor: Frank Koch, who attacked my position on tax supported political prop- aganda In a letter In the Mail Jribune, unfortunately mis- scs the point of my remarks entirely. Because I want to make It perfectly clear where I stand on this issue, permit me to quote the following passages zrom my original speech: our tax laws exempt from taxation income contributed to any organization 'onzanlzed and operated exclusively for religious ... or educational purposes as long as 'no sub stantial part of its activities . is carrying on nrooaaan aa. "Despite this express exclu sion of propaganda organs from tax exemption there is increasing evidence that doz-' ens of right-wing groups mas querading as 'educational' or 'religious' organizations, are today flooding the country with partisan, political propa ganda of the far right, finan ced by tax-free contributions from businessmen. "I have concentrated upon the propaganda activities of the extreme right-wing. There Is no question but that the same standards must apply to tax-exemption abuses by left wing organizations. But to those who ask me why I con centrate my fire upon the ex treme right. I answer that the flood of material which Inun dates my office daily, rarely, If ever, comes from the left. "Nonetheless, there are un doubtedly tax abuses by groups displaying all colors of political persuasion. And it should follow, without com ment, that any reforms insti tuted must be applied without regard to the ideological posi tion of the offender. "Thankfully, our Constitu tion guarantees freedom of speech, but it does not guar antee that political propagan-: na nc subsidized by lax con cessions." Maurlne B. Neuberger.

Europe's bustling economy, its increasing standards of living, and a burgeoning pop ulation should enable the United States to at least main tain agricultural exports at the present $1,200,000,000 dollar-a-year level. But the protectionism which farm lobbies in France, West Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries are de-manding-and in some cases getting-undoubtedly will lead to a change In the pattern of U.S. farm exports. The U.S. will not be alone. Recently, French farmers suc ceeded in halting fruit and vegetable imports from North Africa because of a local glut. As in the U.S., European farm interests are highly effective politically. This changing pattern will include the complete disap pearance of some traditional export items to Europe. But trade in other items will in crease. One of the early American casualties has been the export of chickens-primarily to West Germany.

TWICE-BORN "It's a hard thing to say about anyone, especially your own son," remarked the wom an, but I strongly suspect that Bill has to get a bad mar riage out of his system." She was talking about her 20-year-old boy, who Is rest less and troubled and lost, like so many of his contem poraries. And she was wise enough, or accepting enough, to recognize that the way he would probably act out his problem would be by making bad and impulsive mar riage. William James, in one of his books, speaks of the once-born" and the "twice- born." The once-born he de fined as those who early in life know who they are, what they need, and where they want to go. These are rare and fortunate souls. Th twice-born arc those who, some iima in later life, have to shed ihair skin, lika a snake and be come in a way raborn.

When the variable levy sys tem came into effect July 1, 1962, U.S. export, dipped to one third of this amount. Dutch and Belgian chicken raiser., copying U.S. produc tion methods and with no tar iff barriers to hurdle, quickly grabbed up most of the mar ket. Some went to government-subsidized Danish pro ducers. This market would have disappeared entirely for American farmers, but for some tough talking and bar gaining by U.S. Agricultural officials in Brussels and Gen eva lasting more than a year. Minimum import prices set by the Common Market for fruit and vegetables are not hurting exports so far. But efforts by U.S. officials to get the Europeans to accept American growing and pro cessing standards for these items have met with no suc cess. So even if U.S. exports can meet the price restrictions, they may find import stand ards being used as a restric tive practice. America's $122 million Eu ropean grain market also may be hit by the variable import duties The duties have been increased by 10 per cent up to $1.10 a ton. U.S. exports of flour-main- J.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS There's a lot of talk in the news these days about Con servatives and Liberals". So, perhaps, It might be interest ing to inquire into the orgins of these political party titles. They arose in England after the historic Tory and Whip parties began to fall apart. The historic leader of the Conservative party was Ben jamin Disraeli. William Glad stone was founder and the Great Leader of the Liberal party. The break-up of the Tory and Whig parties began in the 1830's and by the 1850 s the Conservatives and the Liberals had definitely emerg ed as England's leading po litical parties. THEN, as now, there was much confusion as to just what the parties stood for. For example: Disraeli, the founder of the Conservative party, had the idea that it should be con servative in its devotion to the ancient institutions of England. But, he contended, it should be progressive by out bidding the Liberal party for POPULAR SUPPORT. That is to say, its BIG job was to get the votes. A LTHOUGH he called him self a conservative, his pro gram included extension of the vote to the working class and the reorganization of the British Empire by extending self-government to the col onies. Both of these were LIBER AL measures in any proper sense of the word liberal. A SIMILAR contradiction existed in the case of the Liberal party. The Liberals were in pow er in England most nf th time from the 1830 s to the I Pan v.fefisVjKvi. -'V.i other crops. An increase in consumer in come also is expected to re sult in higher exports of soya and protein concentrates to keep pace with an increasing demand of about 10 per cent a year in meat consumption.

This was the period of middle class "liberalism," when the vote was given only to the propertied classes, and national policies were influ enced by the BUSINESS IN TERESTS. The Liberals be came stout supporters of tha principle of "laissez faire" which is a French term mean, ing "let do," let people and things alone. And, particular ly, KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF BUSINESS. ALL THAT, you see, was about as far from the be liefs of the "liberals" of to day as it is possible to get. Modern "liberals" believe in getting government INTO BUSINESS in a big way.' It should be added .that Adam Smith, the Scottish economist who is regarded as the father of the science of political economy, took his "laissez-faire" theories from Scotland to England, from where they later spread to the United States. As embodied in the writ ings of Adam Smith, the "laissez faire" principle be came one of the bulwarks of captalist economics.
