AUSUST 9. 1963 Political Postmasterships We endorse, without much real hope for suc cess, the proposal of Oregon's three Democratic representatives in Congress that Postmaster ap pointments be divorced from the spoils system and put under the Civil Service merit system. In a recent joint statement, the three Reps. Bob Duncan, Edith Green and Al Ullman said the present system calls for this procedure : "... A patronage committee makes a recommenda tion (for a specific person) to a central committee which makes a recommendation to the congressman who makes a recommendation to the postmaster gen eral who makes a recommendation to the President who makes an appointment to which, in most in stances, the Senate must give its advice and consent." They added that their bill would : ". . . properly place the appointment of postmas ters in the Civil Service and away from the political influences of the past, and in addition, would eliminate a time-consuming job for members of Congress." THE present system is, at best, cumbersome and uncertain. At worst, it can cause unsavory po litical influences to be exercised, intra-party fights, or naming of an unqualified individual. The long line of "recommendations" reach ing up to the President is no guarantee of fitness for office, but it is an almost certain guarantee of pulling and hauling, influence seeking, and time-consuming red tape and correspondence. How much better would be the promotion of career men, based on their competence. Whether, however, Congress could be per suaded to give up this last vestige of the political spoils system, is debatable. E.A. Forest Information One of the state's editorial writers an out door type has recently complained about the lack of information available to travelers in the area's national forests. Good maps are not readily available, he exipes, and the lack of signs on forest roads is confusing be forest travelers and campers. His complaints may be justified. But if so, we invite him to travel around the Rogue River National Forest. Maps, of various sizes and descriptions, rang ing from a large, moderately detailed map of the entire forest to smaller and detailed maps of the various districts, are available at forest headquarters and at the TOO, marked strides have been made in signing the forest roads so that even those generally unfamiliar with the terrain are not apt to find much difficulty. It is not vet a perf ect situation, by any means. But it is a rare spot in the forest where even a careless driver can get lost for very long. We invite our colleague to visit the Rogue River National Forest. back north with him. h.A.

Good Sage, In Tuesday's issue of Jenkins column dealt with the fact that a partic ular insect was killing off large areas of sage brush in central and eastern Oregon. This was hailed as an important discovery, and of possible help in the war to eradicate this pest-shrub which has taken up so much of the rangeland essential to livestock raising. It was, in short, a variety of good news. In the same issue of the paper, on the snorts Eage, was an article quoting game officials as eing alarmed by the threat to the sagebrush, which offers fodder to the deer and cover for birds. It was, in short, a varietv of bad news. Well, Beaumont and i letcher said it in the 17th Century: "What's one man's poison, signer, is another's meat or drink " E.

I only the Russian government To the Editor: I have stud-J and people but all the world ied Oscar Jacobson's article, "What Happened to Sin?" in the Tribune 7-26-63. Like Lyd ia Burnham's article on cig arettes of 5-7-63, they are both masterpieces in their line. Lydia sets forth the facts about cigarettes and their de structive effect on the human body, yet millions, because of unbelief in what Lydia says, and the good doctors she quotes - keep on smoking. Their unbelief does not pre vent the destruction of their bodies, neither will rank save them. From ditch digger to king, tobacco and liquor will destroy their bodies alike. Oscar says: "Unbelief is the worst sin today." Why? As tobacco and liquor bring cer tain destruction to the body, unbelief brings certain de struction to the soul. Salva tion is not based upon good ness, greatness or rank. "Sal vation is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Rom. 6:23.) Since sal vation is a gift, to obtain it we must believe in God the giver, we must believe in the gift and desire it enough to accept it by faith or we just don't have it. (Eph. 2:8.) Faith is the condition upon which God has seen fit to pardon sinners, not that there is any virtue in faith itself, whereby salvation is merited. The vir tue is all in Christ. He is the remedy provided for sin. Faith is the act by which the helpless ruined sinner lays hold of the remedy (Christ), Unbelief is the worst sin be cause it destroys every con necting link between man and his Saviour, it breaks and de stroys not only the ten com mandments, but the first and great commandment on which the rest hang. (Matt. 22:34-40.) None can love God whom they do not know or believe in. Then too if there is no God, there is no law of God, there fore no sin or sinners, or so I reasoned in many years of unbelief. Sounds stupid now, after knowing the Lord these past 45 years. No Lydia, just because a man is great in the eyes of the world or has a big job, that will not prevent liquor and tobacco from destroying his body, neither will it pre vent unbelief from destroy ing his soul. Christ is our only hope. He Is the resurrection and the life. F. E. Beverly 112 Geneva's).

Arnold Eugene Jenny Rogue Valley Manor Medford. Rebuttal To the Editor: Rebuttal: To G. L. Murray (Comm. 5 Aug., MT) and other non-thinkers; ' Letters like "Many Inci dents" indicate the possession of more "gall" than knowl edge. Upon what basis do you sit on your fat laurels and charge our police with "in competence"? Inadequacy possibly, but when a total po lice force of only 47 persons, chief and office help included, can do the job they DO ac complish in a town the size of Medford, nobody with the brains to pound sand in a rat hole can call them incompe tent, not in my book. Do you realize that on a shift basis Medford has only one active patroling officer at a time for approximately 5.000 per sons? That with only 4 cars, some times S, they have to patrol over 100 miles of city streets? This allows one car about every 20 miles. It is impossi ble for the patrolmen to be eye-witnesses to every inci dent in town. That is where the so-called common citizen comes in. Under Ihe law (devised by the people, not the police) a police officer is not allowed to arrest on a misdemeanor unless: 1. He is an actual wit ness to Ihe act, 2. He is in pos sesion of a duly sworn war rant Issued by competent ju dicial authority, or 3. He is a part of a group of officers in possession of such a warrant. You claim to have wit nessed many "kids, 16 and under, out at 2 or 3 in the morning, smoking, drinking beer, and hot-rodding around one of the local cafes"-etc. Just what have you done about It besides exercise your bazoo screaming "incompe tence"? Have you ascertained the identity of any of these violators, then sworn a war rant n r complaint which would enable a police officer tn art? I'll bet not. That would require you to get up and take positive action. Much easier to emit wails of "in competence," farce (curfew) etc. I'm sorry, 1 11 have to quit now and lean over the lava- lory Glyndon O.

Macmillan, Like Arnold Palrrier, Has Knack of By GREGORY JENSEN United Press International London-fUPU-There is a golf er named Arnold Palmer who makes a career of trailing the pack until all hope seems gone, then staging an amaz ing comeback to win. There is part-time golfer here who does the same thing. He is the Rt. Hon. Harold Maurice Macmillan, PC, F.R.S., M.P., Sunday duffer, leader of the Conservative party, first lord of the treas ury and prime minister of Great Britain. Less than two months ago, Macmillan trailed back from a holiday spent playing golf, an apparently beaten man. War Minister John Profu mo, his personal friend and close cabinet associate, had admitted he lied to the sa cred House of Commons about his affair with a flashy young trollop named Chris tine Keeler. The sex-and-se-curity scandal which follow ed shook Britain like an earthquake. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (e. field Enterprises, trie. DOING GOOD NICELY If you're going to do some thing nice, be nice about it or don't do it. This is a simple and obvious thought - but it rarely seems to occur to certain types of people. I am referring to those who will go out of their way to do something Ham. nice - a favor, a chore, an extra kindness -and then silently demand re payment in terms of gratitude or appreciation. These are what Dr. Edmund Bergler, the late psychiatrist, called "the injustice collec tors." They go around in life collecting injustices. They do nice things to prove to them selves that other people do not appreciate them as much as they should. Then they sulk, or adopt a martyred pose, or lake to their beds with - some real or fancied ail ment. And. In one way or another, they exact a high retribution for their "nice ness." Finally, those around them begin to realise thai it's not worth the price. Many acts of generosity and self-sacrifice are not at all what they seem to bo on the surface. Rather, they are techniques employed for neurotic ends; these "ty rants of goodness" would be better off - and so would their families - if they act ed a little more selfishly (that is, a little more nat urally) much of the time. Self-pity is the lieimoiif in the lives of such person alities. They enjoy demon strating, over and over again, that others do not appreciate them, that they are victims of the world's injustice, that the bread they cast on the waters is never served up to them as toast on a trap in bed on Sunday mornings. What they utterly fail to understand is that nice things are done for our own sake, not for the sake of others. The pleasure must reside in the performance, not in the applause. Good deeds are. in a deeper psy chological sense, a favor to oneself. If this it not grasp ed, then our whole sense of personal relationships be comes warped, A kind act, a piece of gen erosity or self-sacrifice, must be its own reason for being, an end in itself, not part of a barter system. It must not be used later to reprove some one else with, or as a lever to pry up ancient grievances un der a rock. Yet this is what the self-sacrificcrs tend to do. They pile up their good deeds like misers stuffing bills in a mattress: hoard them, count them over at night, and recite their complaints. Even tually, with this hoard they try to purchase affection and admiration and gratitude but it does not work that way. The injustice collectors only collect more injustices. There are many people who should try to be a little bet ter; but there ire almost as many who should stop trying to be better than they can be. If their hidden feelings (hid den to themselves, if not to others) do not correspond to their generous acts, there can be nothing but bitter fruit in the end, for themselves and for those they are so "nice" to. Coming From Behind Public and political opinion was virtually unanimous that Macmillan was finished. Few thought he could stand while the shock waves of scandal upon scandal jolted his foun dation of power. Yet today, Macmillan is talking and acting like a man who intends to be prime min ister forever. Much of the press again depicts him as a leader in confident com mand. Talk of Conservative party revolts has melted like the leads of Palmer's opponents. The outcry over security as pects of the Profumo affair has stilled, partly because Lord Denning's judicial in quiry into these aspects con tinues, partly because of in creased indication that any security risks were potential rather than real. As July ended Macmillan came into fresh trouble over the defection to Russia of former intelligence agent H. A. R. (Kim) Philby. But his opponents were concentrating attack on his handling of this one case. Six weeks ago the attacks were on the whole question of his capacity to govern. Probably never before has "Unflappable Mac" showed his unflappability more than in this summer of 1963. What happened? How did Macmillan survive? The answers seem to lie in a series of threes. Three men, political ob servers are agreed, could have toppled Macmillan in the sordid wake of the Pro fumo scandal - Vice Premier R. A. Butler, Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling and minister-of-all-work Vis count Hailsham. Had any of these three mounted an open challenge to Macmillan's leadership, rallying the disaffected ele ments in their own Conserva tive party, few experts doubt that Macmillan would have fallen. But there were three ac cepted reasons why these In the Day's News y FRANK JENKINS From Washinglon: The United States took steps yesterday to RETALI ATE against the European Common Market for its sharp increase last year in tariffs on U.S. poultry products. The European Common Market, composed of France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg, raised its tariffs on our poul try products from 4.9 cents per pound to 13.43 cents. That's quite a bounce. The result of it, according to Christian Herter, chief U. S. trade negotiator, has been an unreasonable- restriction o n U.S. poultry. He estimates the loss to our poultry producers at $46 million a year. CO- J He Bays Something will have to be done about it. WHAT to do? Well,- Mr. Herter says. the U.S. has no choice hut to retaliate. So he has picked out a list of our imports from the Common Market coun tries, and on the items in the list we will RAISE OUR TAR IFFS on the principle of tit for tat. TiHE ilems? One of them is wine Last year. Mr. Herter says, we imported from the Com mon Market countries wine worth $22.4 million, and brandy worth $12.1 million. Other imported items were trucks and buses worth $14. B million, film except motion pictures worth $13.6 million, and a wide range of miscel laneous items such as gelatin, theobromine, dextrine, potato starch, cigarette papers, stain less steel clolh scissors and shoes, Roquefort cheese and electric razors. "UR Mr. Herter estimates " the loss to American poul trymen from the higher Com mon Market tariffs at $46 mil lion a year. He estimates that the retaliation tariffs that he proposes will cost Common Market exporters to the United Stales the tidy sum of $111.5 million. Hmmmmmmmmm. It's at least interesting to learn that there's ONE Amer ican who believes that when we do something we ought to do it in a way to SHOW A PROFIT. In recent years, it has seemed to a lot nf us. too many Americans in high of fice have tended to look upon a profit as something SINFUL. three men did not act - their loyalty to Macmillan and their party; the fact that an election must be held within 15 months; and their uncer tainty of success in uniting the party and the nation be hind any of them. Macmillan himself held three powerful weapons in his come-from-behind strug gle. According to all indica tions, he used all three with telling effect. One was a threat to dis solve parliament and call a new election immediately. He is legally empowered to give the queen advice to this ef fect, which she is nominally bound to follow. And with the Labor party leading in every public opinion poll and trouncing all comers in every by-election, the thought of an immediate general poll gave Tories cold shudders. The second was the circum stances under which Macmil lan, if he went, would have been forced out. His argu ment that no government should be toppled by so un savory a mess was a power ful one. The third was a Macmillan weapon in the international field - the prospect of a suc cessful nuclear test ban treaty. Macmillan already was corresponding with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and President Kennedy about the possibility of negotiations. He argued that this was too valuable an applecart to up set. But these three tactical ad vantages only satisfied one of Macmillan's three needs. Miss Amanda's iJj Greatest Crusade fci By Arthur Heppe ' Tr J "Stamp out civil rights!"; It was my good friend, Miss Amanda, national command er of "!", the superpatriotic stamping out socity. "Pre serve our glorious American heritage!" I said Miss Amanda looked particularly fetching today, what with a feather boa to match her tennis shoes. But why did she wish to stamp out civil rights? "Civil rights," she announc ed with an ominous glare through her bifocals, "are a Communist plot!" No! "Yes!" she snapped, clutching the cameo brooch of Senator Goldwater over her heart. "Our alert South ern Governors and Congress men have exposed the whole nefarious Kremlin - directed scheme of these civil rights agitators! Puppets of Moscow, that's what they are!" They are? "They are! Wit nesses at the Congressional civil rights hearings have pre sented incontrovertible evi dence to prove it! From an unimpeachable source!" Un impeachable? "Right" cried Miss Amanda triumphantly. "The Communist Daily Work er!" Very unimpeachable, I agreed. "Absolutely!" she said. "The evidence shows The Daily Work is backing this civil rights agitation to the hilt! Therefore, anyone who is for civil rights is swal lowing the Commie party line! Hook and sinker! Stamp out civil rights! Keep America free!" A marvelous crusade, I said, and one that opened all sorts of new vistas. "It does?" exclaimed Miss Amanda, high ly pleased. Right, I said. For example, here was a Daily Worker editorial in favor of more housing and schools. Should we not alert American lo . . . "Stamp out housing!" cried r?m Iff - W r-r" "Is there no end lo the deviousness nf the Ve:-trn mind? Now they're comparing Barry Goldet;,r e) usl" O To Win They, and his three potential. Tivals' failure to act, gave him time. Besides time, Macmillan' needed a diversion and a tr i umph. The diversion had to take the heat off Macmillan himself and his politically shaky position long enough for his defensive weapons to be useful. Ironically, the div srsion' was provided by the very thing which threatened him1 in the first place - the Pro fumo scandal. The tremors which spread from the first shock to Dr. Stephen Ward and his playmates were so sensational Macmillan found' himself virtually ignored. The triumph came in Mos--cow, with the initialing of the test ban treaty. In a coun-. try whore nuclear disarma-. ment is so vocal and vital an issue as here, the treaty was a triumph indeed. Macmillan exploited it as such. Thus Macmillan, wilh "Palmer rush," again leads the field. Public opinion polls show his own, and even his party's, stock improving. But the game is not over -yet. A considerable body of. opinion believes Macmillan is. still on the way out. He him self has indicated he wants to lead his party through tho. next election. But Macmillan will be 70 in February, and many observers are convinced. Britain will have a new. prime minister by then. Macmillan, as of now, has ended his political tourna ment in a lie. And even At-, nold Palmer has been known', to lose a playoff. Miss Amanda, her rheumy'; eyes a-sparkle. "Raze schools!"" Should we not alert .America And here, 1 said was, a dia," tribe against despoliation of' our natural resources. "Be pa-;'-triotic!" she shoulted, gelling, into the swing of things. "Kin-i die forest fires!" -And here, I said, lcafing rapidly through my files, wcro. a score supporting peace.' "Crush peace!" And another' on traffic safely. "Be a gond American!" hollered Mirs Amanda, waving her retinu'ry. around her head. "Bash a' pedestrian today!" Wait a minute, I said, com-" ing up wilh a yellowed clip.', ping from The Workers World.

"What's it say? What's it say?" cried Miss Amanda, clapping her fingerless lace; gloves together excitedly.

It' was now up to her alone to ' save America. But she could count on my heartfelt sup port in this, her greatest cm--sade. Indeed, here was a pla-' card for her to bear aloft in--to battle, a placard with a . touchiugly simple message; ' "STAMP OUT ME!" It certainly touched Miss Amanda.
