OCTOBER 10, 1963 Get On We hope that County Judge Earl Miller and Lounty commissioner guns, and give short shrift to the teapot tempest which certain individuals, apparently with axes to grind, have stirred up Howard rrairie lake recreation area. Demands for "an audit" (no matter whether one has already been made or not, no matter whether the records are open to inspection or not) serve only to cast fied suspicion, not only also upon other county officials and employes. In our view, Judge Miller and Commissioner Faber would be fully justified in saying, in effect : "The Howard Prairie operation is one of the best in the state, if not in the entire Northwest. We're getting more than our money's worth, and other areas are studying it to see how we do it. We have complete confidence in the course we have taken, and will not be bullied and bulldozed and intimi dated by 'inspired' criticism without basis in fact." A NYONE who has taken the trouble to visit the Howard Prairie operation can testify it is a superior one. One can niggle about the county should have built the buildings or not, or whether check-out time should be 8 a.m.). But overall, natrons tret fast, efficient and courteous service. They get clean lent and clean sanitary many other services not such circumstances. If the concessionaire profit from the overall plain? Isn't our economic enterprise"? HPHERE was a time when we objected to the concessionaire plan "on principle." The prin ciple, be it said, was probably based on observa tion of concession-type many instances are sleazy, unattractive and un responsive to public needs. (We suspect that the National Park Service's suspicion of concession type operations is based on similar observations.) "But when a concession operation is good, it can be very, very good as is the case at How ard Prairie. And such good operations can lead to an entirely new depature in public service in popular public recreation areas. There are cases (such as National Parks) where operation probably is best handled by pub lic employes. But by the same token, there are cases (such as Howard Prairie) where good con cessionaires serve the public better than would civil servants. DY ALL means let there be an audit of the county's transactions with the concessionaire, if this seems appropriate. But then let's quit the picayune criticisms and get on with the job. The county had to be dragged into the public recreation field, almost literally screaming and kicking, through mounting should be said that, once started, they have done the best they know how to follow through; to provide adequate facilities at minimum cost for the maximum number of people. The record, while admittedly spotty, is gen erally good and the Howard Prairie is one the record. E.A. Thoughts on an Some days it seems ing unglued. Some days one ponders on Viet Nam, auto- mation, civil rights, Castro s Cuba, the Berlin wall, the Red Chinese, unemployment, taxes, farm surpluses, traffic fatalities, school drop-outs, the high cost of higher education, the John Birch Society, and tax referendums. On such days, it is easy to become gloomy Isn t the old world getting any better at all ; Are things really coming estly all en route to the dogs; Or the poor house I IT'S easy to conclude Then, mercifully, one reads a piece in the Lugene newspaper. And this is what it says: "Things are so bad wc are barely able to maintain, and promote, the highest standard of living the world has ever known, the highest standards of education, an increasingly improving cultural atmosphere and for most of us the greatest degree of individual freedom and protection from infringement of personal freedoms ever developed in organ ized human society. "Thinking back over just the last 50 years, we can see how much we've lost. And, based upon these observations, we can pretty well predict how our losses arc going to con tinue mounting. "Fifty years ago the average work week was six days 72 hours In all. Almost half the nation's youngsters were going to school, at least through early grades. And persons able to read could buy a new book, a good one, with a day's average wage. Only one In four families were so poor that going to bed hungry was their custom. Youngsters working in mills and mines usually were allowed both lunch and sup per rest periods. Women weren't asked to take part in any difficult democratic processes, and in many elections men could count on being reimbursed for voting with free whisky, or maybe even cash money. "There's no necessity to probe any deeper into our past. Even these few random retrospective observations prove the point conclusively, if we don't take care, we'll not only ruin this country. We're apt to set an example that will mislead the entire world." If that doesn't make you feel a little bit bet ter, even on a day when things seem to be com ing unglued, nothing can. E.A.

Drinking Control To the Editor: The American drinking habits are running wild according to our daily papers. Alcoholics are found in all cate gories of society; men lead women 5.8 to 1 per cent, yet a great many women spend their leisure afternoons at bars. Their percentage may rise also in the future. Control, another prohibition, the drys along with mob-rule would most welcome. I should say not, as this is not the answer, as we do not want to witness another mob-rule along with moonshiners, home brew joints, hijacking, etc., again. We have a Social Security card which controls part of our pocketbook at present and the future to come. I would suggest that another card be issued by our state to control our drinking habits also, bearing our picture along with our name and address. The po lice department could act as the complaint department. Void per mits of known alcoholics, prosti tutes, bar flys and loafers. Our present Front st. days will be over forever. I'm sure that the better taverns in our state would welcome such a law. Howard H. Brown 907 Gilman rd. Medford John Birch Speaker To the Editor: The Honorable John H. Rousselot, outstanding patriot who served with great distinction in the U.S. Congress as representative of the 25th dis trict of California, is to speak at the Hoover Elementary School Monday night, Oct. 14, 1963 at 8 p.m. His subject: "Disarma mentBlueprint for Surrender." Gentle reader, you may be one of the multiplied millions who feel there is something terribly wrong in our nation today. Does the cowardly tolerance of a So viet Cuban fortress on our door step make you a little sick at the stomach? Has the scuttling of our "Sky Bolt," B70 bomber, and anti-missile miisle program given you a feeling of uneasi ness? Does the opening state ment in the Test Ban Treaty pushing for "the speediest pos sible achievement of general and complete disarmament" get under your skin? Do you believe that the United States should re- tain its national sovereignty, and that we should preserve our Declaration of Independence Our American way of life? Then you should by all means hear this great dynamic speaker who is risking his "all" to bring the truth to you. Should America maintain na tional armed forces sufficient to protect us from Communist mil itary aggression? Or should we let the Arms Control and Dis armament Act," now known as "Public Law 87-297," passed by Congress and signed by our President in 1961, remain in force? Most Americans do not even know that this law exists and that it activates the plan in Department of State Publication 7277 by providing for the dis mantling of the entire u.s. armed forces and for their transfer to the Communist con trolled United Nations. Or that when this happens, the com mander of our military forces will be the Rusian Red, Vladimir P. Suslov, the 8th Moscow Red to consecutively hold the post of head of the UN Security Coun cil (UN Military) since 1946. If that statement staggers you if you can't believe it and want absolute confirmation that it's true if you want to know the full extent of this terrible danger that threatens your free dom and the freedom of your children and grandchildren, then vou most certainly want to hear former Congressman John Rous selot speak. This man was in Congress when this infamous, treasonous law was railroaded through. He was there! He knows! And thank God he is MEDFOKD .MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

C. Powell 316 SE Eighth st. Grants Pass, Ore. No Answers? To the Editor and Rep. Dick Hoyt: Having read your inter esting comments in the Medford Tribune I'd like to ask you the same question I've put to a num ber of the tax bill's supporters and which, to date, haven't had one answer. Why not give us both sides of the situation in stead of yours, the big spenders' side? Why not, instead of adding 1800 new employees at a cost ot ten million dollars to the already overstaffed departments, reduce these to a point where there will be some real efficiency instead of them falling over each oth er? I'll bet that you, as a busi ness man, do not add a flock of unnecessary employees to your staff each year. So why can't you chaps run the state on the same basis? Dare you to an swer. The 1961 surplus is gone all right, but you failed, intention ally I guess, to say where it went. Probably to support Ore gon as a "high service state." For whom? The big spenders or the common folks? High ser vice means, in plain English, higher and higher taxes. You say, "I am appalled mat mere are so many people wno want to keep their cake and eat it too." Aren't we entitled to this luxury the same as the high mucky-mucks ; Here s tne tun ny part, this tax will put Ore gon in highest bracket in the U.S., yet we were told that in approving a salary mcrea&e it would attract better qualified representatives.

Even this was not too offensive, but certainly nothing to build the moral cali ber of our youth. The other feature was called "The Choppers." It glamorized a teen-age gang who stripped and mutilialed cars. It was very careful to show our kids how to get away with it all. Suddenly 1 heard our well scrubbed, crew- cut Medford vouth (yours and mine) cheering the gang and booing the "cops." The "cops" were in their mind the had guys. When the "Fuzz" were killed by these hoodlums our kids cheered. Now I am well aware of the perversity of youth, but in the final scene when the gang was caught the leaders words were, "We had a Ball. Our kids were sad.

(Name on file) Medford A Warning To the Editor: The tax bill that is causing such a furor is neither as good as the propo nents claim nor as bad as the oponcnts say it is. In fact, it is a very mediocre bill. I think most of us have missed the sig nificance of this protest, or re bellion, which is a symptom tAatter of Fact lei New York Herald A HAZARDOUS PREDICTION HONG KONG-The first ques tion to ask about any govern ment which is frustrated and boxed-in is how the particular men who lead this particular govern ment are likely to respond to their predica ment. The pos sible responses r a n ge from morose resig nation to hysterical rebellion. The Chinese Communist lead ers have been passing the word that their response will verge on morose resignation. They have now faced the fact, they tell all and sundry, that another quarter-century will be needed to realize their ambitions for China. But the paranoiac rec ord of the last five years hard ly suggests that Mao Tse-tung and his aging, angry colleagues will find it easy to be as patient as they swear they are going to be. Paranoiac is a hard word to use of any great nation's gov ernment. But consider the phases of the bitter Sino-Soviet quarrel. The symptoms of something very close to para noia in Peking all but leap to the eye. IN the first phase, the quarrel centered on ,Chinese internal policy. The Chinese decided on their "great leap forward." The Soviets warned that it would be disastrous, and even sought to secure a policy re versal through Marshal Peng Teh-huai. The intervention failed. The disaster ensued, as forecast. Whereupon the Chinese lead ers reacted to this disaster of their own making by beginning to press the Soviet leaders to take the kind of risks that would have led to a thermo nuclear war. If one can trust the Moscow documents, the Chi nese all but argued that it should not matter much if the whole world were reduced to heaps of rubble since the Chi nese heap would then be as high as any other, if not higher; and so China would find her rightful place again. This led on to the present rupture. Both in the "great leap" pro gram itself and in the second phase response to its dreadful failure, there was obviously something not quite sane or nor mal. And now these same men who tried one hideously drastic remedy, and then pressed for another remedy even more hideous and drastic, are not merely frustrated and boxed-in. They are in some danger. rpilEY are in danger abroad A because the Soviets have it in their power to exercise an almost uncontainable pressure on China's northwestern fron tiers. This pressure on Sinkiang province alreadv seems to have begun. Troop movements on ! both sides are reported. Yet. if ; worst comes to worst, China in her present plight can hardly sustain a serious effort in the remote Sinkiang border where the Soviets will hardly offer In- Government of Great Britain weeks had been preparing for him. Lord Denning had tried to be kind to everyone but in his re- of something far more serious. As a pain in the human body gives warning of a more severe illness, so the protest of the people to this tax increase shows that they have lost faith in their government, both state and national. If they had faith in their leg islators, and government, and knew their money was being spent wisely, not wasted, they would accept the increased tax burden, perhaps with some grumbling and griping, but it would be accepted. The only thing to do is to wait till next general election then throw out all the liberals, new dealers, new frontiersmen, one worlders, etc., etc., in both par ties and go back to a more con servative type of government until we can get our country back on its feet. We have given countries over the world billions of dollars and to what end? They spit in our faces and make fun of us behind our backs. The "One Worlders" say "Look how we have put Eu rope on ner teet! t wonaer. The European Common Market which was supposed to cure all Europe's ills is already begin ning to crack up. The Bible says that nations will not cling together "even as iron will not mix with clay." It is time that we mend our own fences for no one will do it for us.

But at home, the Peking leaders have also had their warning, from the strange epi sode which caused a temporary flood of refugees to pour over this city s borders last year. The course of this episode has at last been reliably traced. It began when the Canton pro vincial authorities announced a slight relaxation of the rules governing exit permits to Hong Kong, apparently to get rid of potential trouble - makers. It swelled into major trouble when the rigid bureaucracy could not cope with the resulting applica tions for permits. THERE was a riot. The mayor of Canton was attacked in his car; and troops were called out. This alarmed the provincial party secetary, T'ao Chu, so greatly that he ordered the border thrown open, evidently on his own responsibility. The refugee Hood began, and was only stopped when the British Embassy in Peking made strong representations to the central authorities. The fact that the border was then closed is far less import ant than the other fact that stands out of this story the fact that as great a big wig as T'ao Chu suffered an obvious though temporary loss of nerve. That is a very unhealthy sign indeed, especially in South China where Chinese trouble . traditionally starts. ! The Sino-Soviet frontier and ' South China are in fact the two i tangible danger areas for the Peking regime. There is also an intangible danger area, however. Here the danger is that the Communist leaders will at length respond to being frus- tarled and boxed-in by losing their patience and committing another great act of folly like those already committed. AS already suggested, the So viet threats to the Chinese frontiers are probably designed to deter another Chinese Com munist venture against India. But even if this deterrence works, there are other external adventures which may end by tempting Peking. It is more likely, however, that the folly will 'be internal, taking the form, perhaps, of abolishing the peasants' private plots or renewing the former squeeze on the countryside in order to pay for resumed in dustrial effort. Every kind of temptation to unwisdom sur rounds the Chinese Communist leadership, in short. In addition, Mao Tse-tung is fu, mill uie iniitri name ui povs er will hardly be trouble-free i China's present plight.

The next 12 months, even the next 24. mav be relatively tranquil. The fur- Iher troubles, when and if they come, may yet be mastered. But it will be very remarkable if bad trouble does not come in the end. port was the clear implication that Macmillan himself bore chief responsibility for an error in judgement that could have endangered British security. Therefore, it will not be sur prising this week if British Con servatives holding their last conference before general elec tions spend more time in con sideration of a man rather than on issues. British general elections can be held any time between now and the October, 1964, deadline. But since even the Conserva tives seem resigned to a Labor victory in the elections, the question becomes one of both leadership and timing to prevent total disaster and to place the Conservative party in a position for victory the next time around. Macmillan understan d a b 1 y does not want to give up his party leadership under a cloud. His opponents, however, point out that, the Profumo case aside, Macmillan now is near- ing 70, and claim that a young er, more vigorous man is need ed for the determined drive necessary to reverse public opin ion polls that have recorded a steady decline of Conservative party popularity. The Profumo case may have Strictly Personal By Sidney J. Harris (c) Field Enterprises. Inc. PERSONAL PREJUDICES It's a puzzling and fascinat ing correlation, but has anyone noticed that it's the insensitive people who always drop in for a visit at the most inopportune times, who are the most sensi tive about being slighted or treated with less than regal hos pitality at such times? Every child knows that stag nant waters become poison ous, but we fail to apply the same consequences to stag nant minds; unless the mind is permitted to circulate free ly and is continually renewed from fresh sources, it be comes not merely dull but positively toxic. Imposture fails when it most succeeds: the man who has fool ed absolutely everybody must be the most lonesome and wret ched creature on earth; for the true self must be shared in or der to experience any joy. . Grave and prudent delibera tions about marriage general ly don't fare any better than hasty decisions; as Samuel Rogers remarked a long time ago: "It doesn't much signi fy whom one marries, for one is sure to find out next morn ing that it was someone else." What it is totally impossible to know from even the most in tense readings in history is whether people in remoter ages were as happy as we, happier, or less so; all such statements are guesswork. Speaking of history, it is an arrogant mistake to assume that our age can be under THE INCOME TAX MEASURE This is one of a series of brief presentations of some little-known aspects of the income tax measure on which Oregon voters will decide at a special election on Oct. 15. A "yes" vote approves the law; a "no" vote defeats it. QUESTION I am an elderly person with $4,000 a year in adjusted gross income. My wife's serious illness is costing me $3,500 a year in medical expenses. How would the 1963 Tax Law affect me? ANSWER The old law limited your extraordinary medical expense deduction to a maximum of $2,500. The 1963 Tax Law permits you to deduct all your actual extraordinary medical expenses above the minimum, reducing your tax 75 per cent. QUESTION If passed, when would the tax become effective? ANSWER It would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1963. Increased withhold ings from employe pay checks would be started as soon as possible to reflect the new rates. "Good heavens! 1 thought thev wera kidding on 'The Beverly Hillbillies'!" Enforce pointed up a certain softness within a party that had been in power for an unbroken 12 years. Earlier there had been the blow to British pride when French President Charles da Gaulle locked the door to the European Common Market against them, and the charge by the Laborites that the gov ernment had no alternative policy. There had been a succession of defeats in by-elections and there had been a hard winter marked by growing discontent and stubborn unemployment. Some of these conditions have changed. The effects of a spring budget are being felt and there is plenty of money. Unemployment is down to less than 3 per cent of the work force. The signing of the partial nu clear test ban treaty and en hanced chances for peace might also have been expected to re store some of the Conservative party fortunes. But the plain fact is that they have not and that the British voter apparently is convinced it is time for a change. And this is the dilemma which faces both Macmillan and his party. stood by us if past ages are not just as an adult cannot be fathomed without penetrat ing into his childhood; or, as Ortega so felicitously put it: "The song of history can only be sung as a whole." Taken all in all, if a man is dull he is considered "decent," even though he merely lacks th courage of his fantasies. The greatest danger of so ciety does not come from demagogues who lie to others, but from fanatics who lie to themselves; thus, self decep tion is the most serious of human flaws, and all genuine social reform must begin with individual insight, or It be comes corrupted and ineffec tual. (If Hitler, for instance, had been simply a politician, .and not a psychopath who be lieved his delusions, the Ger man people could not have been enticed into such mass folly masquerading as "re form.") The principal difference be tween the wise man and the fool and perhaps the only real dif ference is that the former learns from the mistakes of oth ers, while the latter learns, slowly and painfully, only from his own mistakes, if at all. It is much easier to hold to a negative than to a positive position; for every one per son who knows what he stands for, a hundred know only what they are against and can orient themselves only in op position to something. sJ (
