The regulations make sense. We certainly are not in favor of a universal bah on horses or scooters in the nation's forests and other public lands. But in some cases, such a prohibition is decidedly in order. The Rogue River trail is one of these. IT MAY COME as a blow to scooter or horse enthusiasts to find themselves unwelcome. But the nature of the area in question admits of no other course. The valleys and gorges along the Rogue are narrow, and the soil itself, in many places, is susceptible to erosion. The campsites are rela tively small, and in spots the trail is quite narrow. Both horses' hooves and scooters' tires con tribute to soil erosion dangers, to say nothing of discommoding hikers on the trail. Horses need forage, and it is limited in this area. Too, the obvious unpleasantness of the indiscriminate depositing of horse manure, with its attendant smell and flies, adds to the logic of the order. THERE ARE, in the west, vast stretches of land, much of it beautifully forested and with lakes and streams, which can be used by vehicles and stock without danger or inconvenience to others. By the same token, there are areas which by their very nature should be reserved to hikers and fishermen. The Rogue trail is one of these. If it were not for increased population, and increased use of the outdoors by more and more people, the regulations But as population and more rules and regulations and prohibitions be come necessary, simply eath other. E. A. For an End The current session of Congress, faced with such vital matters as the test ban treaty, civil rights legislation, tax reform and reduction, rail road strike legislation, and others of significance, has shown no hurry on them. In the field of lesser written a record that leaves much to be desired One such measure which surely merits enact ment is one to guard against needless cruelty to animals used in scientific experiments, beveral bills to this end are now in committee. ION'T misunderstand. We are npb calling for an end to experimentation on animals, for some of the most significant and important dis coveries in the past century have come from them. We are no anti-vivisectionist. . But it has been amply documented that cruelty to animals which is wholly unnecessary and gratuitous does indeed exist in some scien tific laboratories, either the result of neglect, or of simple carelessness. Great Britain has a which dates well into the not hampered legitimate animal experimentation. Surely this country is at least as concerned over animals who cannot speak on their own behalf as is Britain. -THIS IS A live subject land Amory, writing in the Saturday Re view, says a piece he wrote on the need for hu mane legislation in this field drew more response than any other in his memory. A later article by him in the baturday Lvening Post has also drawn much attention. There is no excuse which permits cruelty (rarely, one hopes), or tence or a "don't care" We hope Congress can bestir itself this year, not only to enact legislation vital to the country's needs, but also to remove a simple piece of tested legislation could do.

Social Idiocy To The Editor: Why should the jobless worker stand in line for long hours to demean himself before some bureau crat in order to qualify for a dole"? He feels this degrada tion keenly. If he exhausts his unemployment compensa tion and goes on relief the hu miliation to which he is sub jected is many times worse. His private affairs are pried into. He and his family are regimented in a kind o pur gatory of poverty that erodes his manhood. In America we have every thing it takes to make our country a veritable paradise. We have an abundance of skilled, technical and scien tific labor. We have the tools. We have the raw materials. In short, we have the physical means with which to produce abundance for all. But what stands in the way is the out moded system of private own ership of industry and the workers' failure to see them selves for what they are un der this system-namely, wage slaves, enslaved as a class to the capitalists as a class. The solution to the problem of unemployment is not a con plicated one. If, instead of beir owned privately and op erated to produce things for sale and profit, the industries were owned socially - that is, collectively by all the people, and operated to produce things for use, there could be no such thing as involuntary idleness. Instead of kicking workers out of Jobs, automation would shorten the work day, work week and work year, and at the same time vastly increase material well-being. Technol ogical progress would no longer be something for work ers to fear, but an unquali fied blessing that would In sure abundance and leisure for all to enjoy. Production for use, com bined with a system under which each worker receives, directly and indirectly, all that he produces, would end forever the social idiocy of want in the midst of plenty.

Memorial Co-Op To the Editor: I have sent the following letter to the ed itor of the Capitol Press in Salem, who recently reprint ed an editorial of yours: You are to be commended for reprinting the guest edi torial "Riles of Death"; the editor ot the Medford Mail Tribune and likewise the min Isler who urged his congrega tion to read the Atlantic mag azine article entitled "The Undertakers' Racket" by Jes sica Mitford - all are to be commended. We thought you might be interested in an organization thai has served the people of Yamhill county for almost 30 years, incorporated under the name Yamhill County Coop erative Funeral Home, but popularly called by the mem bers "The Memorial Service Cooperative" or simply "The Co-Op." The $10 membership fee en titles a person to the benefits ; of the organization in the event of the death of any per son for whom the member is financially responsible. The financial savings amount to approximately 500 per cent of the mcmbersnip fee for each service required. However, nol the least ben efit from belonging to the "Co-Op" is the fellowship of like-minded people and the assistance that members get in pre-planning.

In the early Summer comes another social evening - pot luck dinner and entertain ment numbers. Some of the people drive good distances to be present. A real good feeling exists. Since we have been working together for many years the dinner chores are handled by experienced members who count it a pleas ure.

Paul Youngman Route 2, Box 127 McMinnville, Ore, Kids and Crops To The Editor: I notice that the pear growers of Jackson county are greatly concerned about not being able to get outside help to harvest their crop. I would like to mention to these growers what the State of Maine potato grow ers do to obtain the extra help at harvest time. Aroostook county, Maine, as most people know, grows about 50 million bushels per year. It is not uncommon for one farmer to grow 500 acres or more. Their harvest season being about a month to six weeks, does of course, require a tremendous amount of out side help. While visiting there last fall during the harvest season, I noticed hundreds of school age children out in the fields picking potatoes. We stopped and visited at several of the fields and took particular notice of the system the tarmers used. One grower we visited had several Hundred acres - his tield was more than a quar ter miie loiig, anu was uivtued in tnree sections lor me pan crs. me gins were on one enu, lue buys on me olner mu anu lue men picKers were in lue miuuie section, ihe tins ct.iu uuys cult eucn mm u su- pt-l'Visu.. i ttliKCU Willi sev en u wit yuu.ife piCAcrs. n in ox iZ tuis sam Siie i.tieu ll'Ulll OU lO 0U ual'teia uw ios.; per imy anu tiam 4UC per bauci, ...ic u sue siuyeu uiruugu ine uut vesl. i utso lounu out nuu me scnouis ici out tv'eij rf-di' tor litis Harvest uuu iime u up at iiie. enu ui t.ic aii.uui U..III. ,i.S to m e.k lilillg 101 ..ib -,-.C, ut.i, vticy i.lVC 11. bv.t... ediu mi,, wi'ie sav .utii' luiom&s tor cuiit'oc. t.iy cuuiuu . a syMt.ni ox UllS soil UK WUIivi'u nfcill litre in tne Meuioru area: 1 uouol u one Kia in jO wouldn't jump at Ihe oppor tunity to earn and save for his future.

Spirit To the Editor: There is something about the big spec tacular that leaves many of us cold, and would rather think about the Spirit of America for she is a mighty one, like unto Minerva.

Now Goo' Six-Months-Old Franco-German Already Showing Signs of Disruption By JOSEPH W. GRIGG United Press International Paris fUPB The six-months old French - German alliance is taking a heavy beating. Many Frenchmen are ask ing seriously if much of it is left at all. The treaty was signed at the Elysee Palace here on Jan. 22 by President Charles de Gaulle of France and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. It was sealed by a kiss between Europe's two "grand old men." Its aim was to end centuries of bloodshed between the two nations that had been pin pointed by history as the In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS In Washington, U. S. Sec retary of State Rusk urges the Senate to approve the nu clear test ban treaty and promises that President Ken nedy will ABROGATE THE PACT OVERNIGHT if Russia should violate it. And- He added- President Kennedy believes the Soviet Union WOULD vi olate the treaty if it felt that violation would serve its in terests. AT THIS point, Sen. Lever ett Saltonstall of Massa chusetts asked why Russia agreed to the treaty in the first place (if she has her fin gers crossed and is prepared to violate it at any moment when it seems to her that it would be to her interest to do so). Secretary Rusk replied: "I believe the Soviets have concluded that it is to their interest to do so. In the past year, the nuclear powers, for the first time, have had a look at nuclear exchange (meaning the exchange of nu clear bombs) as an operational matter. "In the Cuban missile crisis, man had a chance to look into the inferno." TY THAT, presumably, Sec " retary Rusk means that in Cuba President Kennedy told Premier Khrushchev to GET HIS MISSILES OUT or we'd drop OUR missiles on him. That, he indicated, took nu clear warfare out of the aca demic field and brought it down to the field of ACTU ALITY. SECRETARY Rusk told the Senate that the United States has not forgotten the lessons of its dealings with Russia since the end of World War II. Again we must draw our conclusions as to what he meant by what he said. He didn't go into detail as to what he meant by his statement that we have not forgotten the lessons we learned about Russia in World War II. We must assume that he was referring to Russia's fail ure to live up to the promises she made to us as our ally. We learned then that Russia's promises are not to be de pended upon when a situation arises in which it will be to her advantage to break her promises to us. jut- He concluded- "Any marginal risks involv ed in the test ban treaty are FAR LESS than those which would result if an unlimited arms race continues." So- Hc was saying to the Sen ate, which must ratify the test ban treaty if it is to become bonding upon us-- We will be better off WITH a test ban treaty than without one.

In place of fight ing each other they were to work together in future as close allies. But the ink was hardly dry on their signatures when De Gaulle began to find the treaty was not everything he had hoped for. Adenauer made no secret of the fact that he did not sup port De Gaulle's veto against Great Britain's admission into the European Common Mar ket. Then the West Germans re fused to bow to De Gaulle's demands that they should bring their farm prices down to the level of those in France to make possible an agree ment on a joint agricultural policy for the Common Mar ket. The farm price dispute still simmers between the two allies.

LIBERTY DOWN THE DRAIN My old and dear friend, Milton Mayer, has filed suit in the Federal Court in Wash ington, D. C, to force the State Depart ment to issue him a pass port. Milton Mayer is, in my o p I nion, the most bril liant journal ist in our country and would be an adornment in any country and any time. He writes power fully, thinks clearly, and has the courage to live as he writes and thinks. He has been an anti - com munist the 25 years I have known him and for years before that. Bue he refuses to sign the non-communist oath which became a part of U.S. passport applications last year. For this reason, the State Department is refusing to reissue his passport, which expired last spring. He will not take an oath under duress. "My views on communism are widely known," he has said, "but I express them because I wish to. I will not do so under duress." It would be simple for him to take the oath, as most of us would. He is contractually obligated to three publishers and two church organisations for as signments in Europe this year. But as a matter of principle, he refuses to deny a crime with which he has not been charged. Such a test oath, he be lieves, "is the historic in strument of tyrannies for ihe reduction of free men to servility. It is unworthy of my country and my govern ment and I must make my protest against it." I know scores of upstand ing, high-principled con servatives, who inveigh daily against government authority and restrictions but only when these direct ly affect their earning ca pacity, their schedule, and their business procedures. Most of them would be heartily in favor of the non communist oath for pass ports. concerned about government infringement of the business area, even if it is unjust But "freedom." if it means anvthins. is indivisible.

A Cause We jji Could Dye For -ra By Arthur Hoppe ftStJM A CAUSE WE COULD DYE FOR ' Many kindly-motivated peo ple have suggested solving the racial crisis in one fell swoop through modern chem istry. Unfortunately, like most do-gooders, these people are sharply divided on methods, one faction clamboring to dye all White people black and the other vociferously in fa vor of bleaching all Black people white. While praiseworthy in con cept, I feel both positions il lustrate the starry-eyed, im practical solutions of the do gooder. Would Governor Bar nett dye for equality? Perish the thought. Or, on the other hand, would a militant Black Muslim consent for a moment to become a Bleached Mus lim? Nonsense. So obviously what we need in this hour of crisis is some realistic, hard-headed prac tical thinking. And thank goodness for my friend, Mr. Jim Dunlap, who has come up with a realistic, hard-headed, practical thought: "We must," says Mr. Dunlap, "dye every body blue." It's a vivid solution. For the basic problem, of course, is superiority. Everybody has to feel superior to somebody. So the Whites, like Mr. Bar nett, enjoy feeling superior to the Blacks. And the Blacks, like Mr. Malcolm X., enjoy feeling superior to the Whites. But blue! Blue is unarguably a color superior to both. It has brilliance, luster, depth , , In a word, it has class. Thus, once everybody is Blue, everybody will feel su perior. And all of us Blues can go around saying now su Today & Tomorrow By Walter (c)ll)63. The REASONABLE HOPES The apparent ease with which Secretary Rusk satis fied Dr. Adenauer's objections to the test ban treaty is a good sign. Mr. Rusk was able to succeed in Bonn, because Mr. Harriman and he were able to per s u a d e Mr. K h r ushchev that the test LIppinallQ ban treaty would be jeopard ized if any political conditions were attached to it. Mr. Khru shchev has had the good sense to understand this and to rea lize that, since the test ban treaty itself will slow down armaments, it is a most signifi cant non-aggression pact. Had Mr. Khrushchev insisted on at taching to it a formal non aggression pact, the treaty might not have been ratified by the Senate. Moreover, the West Ger mans might have abstained, not because they themselves intend to test, but in order to show solidarity with Gaullist France. -1 that the main lines of West German policies are in fact oriented toward the Atlantic partnership rather than to ward a Franco-German axis. President Kennedy has been proved to be right, in spite of the doubters, among them myself, about his trip to Ger many. For Bonn to diverge from Paris on the issue of nuclear testing is a sharp deviation from the treaty with General De Gaulle. It leaves Gaullist France isolated, not only from all the outer world except Red China, but in the heart of the European continent it self. It is also. I think, a good sign mat Mr. Knrusnchev is able to be relaxed about thei01ner "U'ed capitals as well. difficult next steps. It indi cates that he is under no seri ous pressure at home and that he does not regard the hos tility of Red China as an im minent practical threat to So viet security or world peace. The making of peace between the Soviet Union and the West, insofar as that is pos sible between two such rival social orders, is necessarily f long and slow process. For such peacemaking requires Treaty Last week end Adenauer punched still another hole in what was to have been his solid policy front with Da Gaulle. He decided to sign the Moscow nuclear test ban pact, although De Gaulle has re fused to do so and had urged him not to. perior we are to BOTH th9 Whites and the Blacks. Which will automatically double our superiority right there. Nor will we hurt anyone's feelings, for there won't be any Blacks or Whites left whose feelings might be hurt.

Overnight, half the restrooms in the South, can be shut down for good, a savings in millions for the many Southern depressed." areas. Overnight, everybody will be dyeing for superiority, for it has always proved a more rousing cause in human history than mere quality. So all that remains is to ask what shade of Blue we should dye ourselves. Personally, t feel the question crucial. You know how the ladies are. Moreover, we must think of the effects. Would Baby Blue, for example, make us look in fantile? Would Royal Blre bring out latent monarchist tendencies in our leaders? In digo, perhaps; Azure?. Ceru lean? After considerable thought, I put this crucial question to that realistic, hard - headed practical thinker, Mr. Dunlap. He hesitated not an eyelash's bat. "True Blue!" he snapped.; Ah, what genius. Produce tion has begun. The dye vat are a-bubbling. And any day, now we will at long last enter that new and happy era o equality in which everybody will become a True Blua American.
