OCTOBER 11, 1963 Nixon in the Wings Richard Nixon, former vice president of the United States and once barely-defeated candi date for President, apparently is not dead politi cally, as was widely assumed after he lost the Governorship of California. He has been conducting a lucrative law prac tice in New York, touring the world, writing arti cles for big-circulation magazines, and making speeches lots and lots of speeches. At this writing, Sen. Barry Goldwater appears to be the front-runner for the GOP nomination next year, followed by Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, and some dark horses such as Romney, Scranton and Hatfield. DUT increasingly, dispatches from Washington and New York tell us, Nixon is being men tioned as another possibility. And it would also appear that Nixon himself is doing nothing to counter such gossip. James A. Wechsler, editor of the New York Post, is no Nixon lover, but his comment on a recent event is instructive. He wrote: "Richard M. Nixon, our youngest elder statesman since Tom Dewey grew up, performed his new act before the Wom en's National Republican club here the other day. It consists of throwing Nelson Rockefeller and Barry Goldwater into the ring, along with their hats, urging them to fight like gentle men, and voicing hope that the best man will win. At the same time, amid earnest disclaimers of personal ambition, Mr. Nixon leaves the audience convinced that he will respond to the grim call of duty if the prospective nominees carelessly devour each other despite his solemn warnings against can nibalism." , WE ARE on record as believing that Sen. Gold water has no chance for the nomination. We could be very wrong. Certainly, every in dication at the present is that he is well out in the lead. (Someone commented the other day that Newsweek already has Goldwater nominated next summer; Time has him elected next fall.) Still, as the present front-runner, Goldwater is being subjected to increasing and searching scrutiny. His past speeches and columns and books are being examined with intensity. Despite the fact that political figures are given considerable leeway, by the voters, for changing their minds, the Senator still will have to live with the record. And the record is not, in our view, one which the majority of the American voting public or even a majority of the Republi can party could support. IF THIS is true, if Goldwater does fade in his almost-too-early popularity, and if Rockefeller is unable to overcome the public distaste engen dered by his divorce and remarriage, then keep your eye on Richard Milhous Nixon. He is still the titular head of the Republican party, he is still a "political animal," he is still a highly popular figure with vast numbers of vot ers, and he did, after all, come within a hair breadth of defeating John F. Kennedy. What any of the GOP possibilities would be able to do against Kennedy after four years in office is another question, one not yet ready for more than pure and premature speculation. E.A. Welcome, Senator There has been considerable talk in recent weeks of Senator Goldwater's "changing image" that he is being drawn right and toward the center as the Presidential virus takes hold of him. This may or may not be true, but there are evidences of it. Not long ago he inserted in the Congressional Record a speech made by one Gerald J. Skibbins, a Princeton, N.J., business man. He said he was "in agreement" with Mr. Skibbins' remarks. Among other things, the speech said : "Many Americans squirm when they hear the label 'con servative' because they think of pre-World War II isolation ism, John Birch Society members, America Kirstors, segre gationists, Ku Mux Klansmon, and many other little groups who feel that freedom means an extra-legal hunting or hating license rather than a responsible privilege held under law. Let us look honestly at the so-called radical right. First, it is not radical at all. Most of its elements either believe in the ancient rule of force outside the law, or else they merely reflect an ignorant unawareness of their world." a a a CENATOR Goldwater kJ on this talk, remarked, "I've always said that extremism was a millstone around the necks of both parties and that's And that's just about ing sometimes a bit more vigorously for a long time. Its a pleasure to see Senator Goldwater progressing from the days when he thought the Birchers were "mostly good people" to a clearer eyed view of those who "believe in the ancient rule of force outside the law" or reflect an "igno rant unawareness of their world." Welcome to the club, Barry. E.A. Kids and Taxes Here is a thought for voters to ponder prior to the tax election Tuesday: The last increase in Oregon's income tax was in 1955 (and that was decreased a bit in 1957). In 1955 there were 324,000 school children in the state. Today there are more than 413,000. In 1955 there were 17,000 students in Ore gon's public colleges and universities. Today there are some 34,000. How can anyone say an increase in taxes is "unnecessary"? And in a country where per capita expendi tures for cigarettes, liquor, cosmetics and enter tainment are many times the per capita expendi ture for all state government, let alone education. E,A. away from the extreme himself, in commenting just what he said." what we have been say "Small World, Isn't It?" ... Communications ... Letters io the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a iew to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do net necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. No Veto To the Editor: At the be ginning of the 1963 Legislature I recommended specific programs to deal with our budget and revenue situation. A great point was made that thorough tax structure overhauling was need ed. It was not done. A cigarette tax was recommended. It was not passed. The people should have an opportunity to vote on new proposals during the legis lative session, I advised the Leg islature. But this, too, was de clined. What came about was a tax bill that was the best that 90 minds could hammer out in 141 days. It does provide for a con tinuance of services that the people over the years have asked of their government. Two-thirds of Oregon's budget is within ear-marked funds so that the Governor is denied al lotment controls. This puts him in a fiscal strait jacket. It is my opinion, conditions will not be improved by bring ing back into session the same body which refused to adopt basic changes in our tax struc ture just a few months ago. Al ready individual legislators are announcing their intentions for widely-varying proposals should they be brought into a special session. Jn Oregon the purpose of a special session cannot be limited by the Governor. It could mean a simple resump tion of the wild, unreasoned, final days of the regular ses sion. Whatever they come up with could, and probably would. be put in another state of sus pension by the collection of 23, 000 signatures. If the people of Oregon vote "no" on October 15, it will be as though they were considering adding a room or two onto their home but instead they decided to demolish a fourth of the house they were living in. I did not veto the tax bill which came to my desk 11 days alter tne Legislature had ad journed in June because to have done so would have endangered the performance of essential state services. I do not believe the people should veto the tax bill now for precisely the same reason. Mark 0. Hatfield, Governor, Salem, Ore. Story Said Distorted To the Editor: I for one v very disappointed after reading your distorted and mixed un story in the Sunday, Oct. 6 man iriDunc, concerning the "Patrioitic Rally" held In Hoover school Sept. 19. A journalist or reporter should in all fairness present ootn sides. KigM? Especially when he considers the meeting not important enough to attend. You didn't quote one person of the opposite side and there were 200 or more there present I could have been called to verify the facts as I am the person who sent in the cards to advertise the meeting. It rather seems you only wanted one side. At least you could have got the opinion of one adult out of 200 present. iow me ooys wno told you they went there to get a report. told some of the ladies present that evening a very different story. They showed very little interest while the meeting was going on. sat there talking, (the three boys), didn't bother to sa lute the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance, or bother to sing the beloved hymn, "America." They showed no courtesy to ward the speaker or the people on either side of them. The one boy jumped up angrily when he didn't approve of what was be ing said. Mr. Goff tried to be nice asking him to sit down. After about three limes telling him, he had to insist. When the boy didn't get a following from the crowd, altar la MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON etieeejioS -rut yityrM r heckling the speaker, they got up and stormed out, saying we'll get even with you. This evidently was the reason some person called the police. The bovs were waiting outside for quite some time. (Now if they weren't guilty, why would they take off?) Now you say Officer Hurncr pickup up some papers from the ground. For your informa tion, he came inside with Mr. Huss and was talking to us. He said "This seems to be the sea son for rioting." Also picked up some pamphlets from the table. People who attend these meet ings don't throw papers all over the ground, they only take or buy what they want. So the whole article was evi dently to smear Freedom Cen ter or any other anu-t-ommu- nist group. Mrs. B. bawton 1700 Prune st. Medford. Idiotic B1U To the Editor: While I hope that the majority of the citizens of Oregon will have the guts to vote NO on Oct. 15, 1 am deeply worried about the outcome of this expensive special election caused by an Inept and incom petent legislature. Those who are promoting the passage of this bill have already enlisted on their side some of the most edu cated people in the state with their scare tactics. The emo tional pull of the threat to our education budget, closure of state hospitals, that old folks on welfare will go hungry, and that some faculty members win be fired, is asinine. The editor has apparently fal len victim to these scare tactics the same as many of my teach er friends who are struggling with this situation from a dual position; as teachers who have been threatened with a pay cut, and as taxpayers themselves. I certainly hope that regardless of the outcome of this election those responsible for this bill will not be returned to office by the voters. It should be obvious to anyone sincerely interested in seeing the state of Oregon grow and prosper that we will never gain in population with such a tax clan when people are free to choose to live in Wash ington or California, where the legislators have sense enough to spread the taxes out so that each purchaser pays a fair share, flow much wiser it would be to have a sales tax here, and what a tremendous source of revenue is available from tour ists, itinerants and those who do not own property, as well as the rest of us! E. A. says the Grange and Labor arc against a sales tax . . . why? They are individual taxpayers too! I have lived in Oregon for more than 25 years, but believe me, I know it is not the only pleasant place to live. I'm sure that I am not the only person who would seriously consider moving to California where the wages are higher and the taxes are assessed in a more equit able manner. This has long been one of the reasons so many Ore gon trained teachers leave this state to practice their profes sion, and why industry has avoided this state like the nlacue. Let's vote NO on this unfair tax bill, and demand a sales tax to be passed immediately. A few temporary cutbacks can't hurt too much, but this idiotic biii can ruin us all. T. F. Rush Ashland, Ore. Disease To the Editor: This is in an swer to E. Dykes in M.T. 10-7-63. In this letter you state that "the supposed cause of disease is limited to mere ideas "the causation is from God." Neither statement is true. Ever since man was in the garden at S4n be has not Military Take -Overs Pose Dilemma for U.S. Policy-Makers By PHIL, NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Dissimilar though they may be, the dilemmas faced by the United States in South Viet Nam and Latin Amer ica have certain things in com mon. In both, the United States is so deeply commit ted that failure in either would be a heavy blow to its prestige and its global policy of giving support in de mocracies against communism In both, despite the vast sums committed, the U.S. finds itseit in a role in which it can ad vise but cannot command. Thus success depends upon each part ner acting with equal vigor. And hence the weakness of the U.S. position in both areas. Let us deal here with Latin America. The Alliance for Progress now is just over two years old. As willing to blame himself for his misfortunes, for Adam blamed Eve and she blamed the ser pent, when actually the cause of their expulsion was their un willingness to keep the law of God. As far as disease is con cerned man through the ages has blamed evil spirits, witches, and demons forces outside himself. Then Pasteur came along with his germ theory and now viruses are blamed again forces outside one's self, but forces which could have no ef fect upon us if our own health were what it should be. And most unkind of all is to blame God for ill health because He has given us in superabundance every thing needed for perfect health. If we do not nave it, it is because we are not using what He has given us in ac cordance with His laws. Just how great our failure is in' this respect is shown by the fact that our nation leads the world in incidence of degenera tive diseases, a truth not com plimentary to the American Medical Association. The laws of God are not im possible to learn and use, as is shown by the extent to which man has learned the laws of light, sound, electricity, phy sics, chemistry and others, and how to use them in making his flight into outer space. The laws of health are not nearly so difficult or numerous but their understanding and use does require self discipline and this man foolishly rejects. Do you have a stomach ache or a headache or a cold? For get about the Alka Selzer, aspirin or penicillin. Each is a distress signal from your body to your intellect to tell you your body is sick. Use your intellect to discover what is wrong with your schedule, correct it and be forever free from them. It is not irrational to treat a cold when what is needed is a thor ough body cleansing and i change in living habits? Yet that is precisely what we do to day. By so doing we would also avoid the disastrous side effects these specific remedies pro duce. If your health is not what it should be blame no one but yourself or the needed knowl edge is available to you if you win only use it. Anna M. Streed 3fi North Peach st. Medford. Unknown Helper Thanked To the Editor: We were visit ors in your area, the south western section of Oregon, last week. Last Thursday morning, about 11:30 or so. my wife and I had an accident on the Crater Lake Highway. While we were wondering what to do a driver stopped. He helped so much that we were unable to thank him the way we should have. We were pretty well shocked and not thinking clearly. He was going up toward Crater Lake and headed back to Union Creek resort. There we phoned for a tow car. We offered him money for his time and gas but he refused. During our ride down with him he told us he is a Pente costal minister. Throughout it all we failed to get his name but we do know he lives in Medford. Can you work this informa tion into the newspaper in hopes that he sees it as a special thanks from us. H. W. Nullmeycr 871 Twana dr!. Garden Grove, Calif. Sports Coverage Hit To the Editor: This probably should go to the Sports Editor. There are a lot of people out side the city limits of Medford who are "ted up" with the "jealousy" or whatever word could describe it, with the way you "play up" all Medford games of any sort and when it Wmes to Crater, a newer outlined by President Kennedy, it called for a $20 billion invest ment in Latin America over 10 years, half of the sum to come from the United States. Its purpose is to lift the living standards of 200 million Latin Americans and to strengthen de- mocracv through peaceful evolu tion as opposed to violent revolu tion. An imnortant arm in helping to carry out the objectives of Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (cl Field Enterprises, Inc. EUPHEMISMS At the airport the other day, I was informed that my plane was late because the landing- radar was in operative." This meant it was out of commis sion, not work ing, broken down. I picked up a newspaper while wait i n g, and read that some milk com- aarna panics were not, as they thought, being boy cotted they were being sub jected to a "selective patronage program." There was some mail from the office in my briefcase, and I took out a communication from the "Council for Independent School Aid." In my day, these were called "private" schools; now, apparently to avoid the stigma of snobbism, they are officially referred to as "inde pendent ones. 9 And so it goes. We live in an atmosphere of euphemism, of the soft phrase to cover the hard fact. Not only do we re fuse to call a spade a spade (except when we are emotion ally upset), but even the men who wield shovels for the city are called "sanitation cmpoly ees" rather than street clean ers. One of the most fantastic re versals of the English lan guage in the last few years has been the word "exception al," which is now applied to troubled or retarded children. In my time, an "exceptional" child was one who showed more promise, not less. It seems that as we become more violent in our behavior, we feel the need to become more euphemistic in our speech. An honest despotism in the past used to kill dissent ers; today, a totalitarian gov ernment merely "liquidates" its enemies. They used to im prison foes of the state; now they arc placed in "protective custody." Governments, corporations, la bor unions. Jnslilnlinns anH rn. lective entities of all kinds en gage in mass euphemisms, to soften the imDact of their He. sires, to disguise their inade quacies, to excuse tneir blun ders, to shift the blame from the personal and the immediate to the vague, the abstract and the mechanical. The "system malfunctions" when the people in charge have goofed. We spend the summers in the cherry orchard country of Wis consin. I was explaining to my boy, during cherry-picking time, the various kinds and breeds of cherries, and the different uses to which they are put. "Those are sour cherries," I said. "They are used for canning or pie making, not for eating directly." "We don't call them 'sour' any more," said an orchard owner standing next to us. "We call them 'tart cherries.' People don't like the idea of buying sour cherries cherries, so we changed the name." That night I told my boy the fable of the fox and the tart grapes. school, it is almost necessary to use a magnifying glass to find a word about them. Even the pictures of the students, any outside of Medford are ail blurred up. If your sports writer has a special camera, he should use it on some of the kids on other teams. If an article is written about all the schools in the confer ence, if Crater gets a men tion at all. it will be the last one in the article. But, believe it or net. if there is something of honorable mention about oth er schools, Medford players will be brought in some way. I am not a parent, or mother, of any kid at Crater, but, sure am for fair play in the news paper as well as on the field, on radio, or any place else. I'm just for the young folks. See that there arc some "big" headlines about other schools as well as Medford. Look at the number of kids you can choose from. I wouldn't crow too loud if a Medford 200 pound er breaks all the bones of 165 pounder of other school. How about some sportsmanship off the field as well as oiv-.it? H. M. Elliott Box 57 I told Hill, Ore. in Latin America the alliance is supposed to be the Organization of American States (OAS). The OAS is committed against communism and to defend dem ocratic regimes against attacks from either right or left wheth er it be a Communist dictator ship or a military coup. But it also is committed to a policy of non-interference, making it impossible to bring collective action against Com munist Cuba or against a dis turbing series of military take overs, of which there have been four this year and six in the last two years. Effected in such a way have been Argentina and Peru in 1962, and Guatemala, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Honduras in 1963. The two most recent were the Dominican Republic and Hon duras, and the United States has broken off its diplomatic relations with both and with drawn its financial aid. In other instances, relations continued upon the promise of military regimes that they would noid tree elections later. Exam ples were Peru and Argentina. Yes, We've Got f No Dictators jUvl By Arthur Hoppe f'TV,, J Our Alliance for Progress, which aims at social reform in Latin America, is certainly making progress. In a way. Hardly a billion dollars goes by that some government down there doesn't get reformed. By its Army. I'd like to explain this phe nomenon, but I'm not an expert on any of our Latin American neighbors. So I've had to in vent one. It's a lovely little in dependent republic known to our State Department as "Cosa Nos tra." Cosa Nostra lies just south of the docks and has a population of 3,000.073. Of which 42 are peons, 41 are soldiers and the rest are bananas. For years and years it was governed peace fully by General Cosa (The Og re) Nostra. And there was never a complaint. Not from the Gen eral, who was happy. Nor from the soldiers, who were happy. Nor from the peons. Who knew what was good for them. But things got more and more revolting until finally the peons revolted. The Army gave up without firing a shot. Mainly be cause their 1812 muskets all failed to. go off. General Nostra fled into exile (after stopping at the bank). And a President whose name we never could re member was elected and began a vigorous program of social re- torm. But then Castroism raised its ugly beard. In Cuba. Our State Department was alarmed. "We must save Cosa Nostra from Castroism!" Washington cried. And the Alliance for Progress was launched. We sent 113 ex perts to Cosa Nostra to deter mine what was needed to stem the tide of Castroism. "Well," says El Predidente 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 the father of two teen-age boys who are starting col lege. It's always cost me taxes to have them work, but if they didn't work, they couldn't go on to school. How will the new Tax Law affect me? ANSWER The new law will permit you to claim them as dependents, as under Federal law, even though they earn enough income to pay their own income taxes. They are now officially part of the family and you would get the tax benefit from the support you provide them. la ? "Whalla' you mean, with Kennedy and Gold Her runnlnjC. Americans will have a clear-cut choice? Yon and 40 per cent of the voters don't bolhfij to vote anyway!" The fear, however, is that this succession of military revolts may be setting a pattern. Violence against a weak gov ernment is on the increase in Colombia. Threat of a military take-over has been a prod to President Romulo Betancourt for increasing tough action against Communist-inspired vio lence in Venezuela. In Brazil, President Joao Gou lart has been unable to carry out either his promises of re form or government austerity. Last week he called for and then withdrew his request for declaration of a state of siege. He satisfied neither the politi cal left nor right, nor the army. His government remains a can didate for overthrow. For the United States the problem daily becomes more pressing. Military regimes pro vide a natural rallying point for Communists who claim that Cas tro's is the only way. On tha other hand, can the United States automatically condemn a military coup which takes over from a weak government which is itself potential prey of communism? Whatshisnombre, "we could use food, teachers, books . . ." "Great, great," says our Am bassador. "But look at that raggedy-old bob-tail Army you've got. How do you expect to de fend democracy with an Armu like that? We will include in our first shipment 474 tanks. 3K5 jet fighters and a couple of used battleships. Take your time in paying us oacn. So at the bargain rate of only a billion or so, we manaeed to reform the Cosa Nostra Army into a modern, superbly equip ped fighting force. And, of, how happy the soldiers were to lay down their 1812 muskets. And pick up their brand new burp guns. "Hey, man." cried the tank drivers in the turrets of their streamlined U. S. tanks. "Look at these hot rods go." And with that they rolled right over the Presidential Palace. Not to men tion El Presidente Whatshis nombre. General Cosa (The Ogre) Nos tra returned from exile and took over. On the grounds he was more against Castroism than anybody. Which our State De partment had to admit was cer tainly true. And, once, again, there are no complaints in Cosa Nostra. Not from the General, who feels more secure. Nor from the soldiers, who love their burp guns. Nor from the peons. Who, after all, don't wish to complain against tanks, j e t fighters and battleships. So the Alliance is making Progress. Every week, it seems, we produce another highly stable government supported by an awesome Army an ally strong and powerful enough to defend forever the principles of democracy. If it had any.
