1 B MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON denauer Says West Prepared To Fight COLOGNE, Germany (UPD West German Chancellor Kon rad Adenauer said Saturday night the West was prepared to use force and the West German Army to defend its access rights in the latest Soviet blockade of Berlin. - "The incident of the'autobahn to Berlin was extraordinarily serious," Adenauer said. The chancellor, who retires from office this week, was re ferring to the Soviet holding of a U.S. military convoy at gunpoint for nearly 48 hours on the highway route between West Germany and West Berlin. The Russians . abruptly ended the new blockade without explana tion Saturday. Earlier at Wunsdorf, the West German armed forces paid homage to Adenauer, who created them from the ruins of postwar Germany. The chan cellor told them they had kept peace in the world.

W ATKINS (RegitKr and Tribuna Syndictta. '.961) Old Man Only Interested In Curlews As Pie Filling For no reason we could under stand he seemed proud that he had eaten so many of those long-legged birds of the snipe family in "curlew pie. "There were millions of cur lew at the time," he said. "We could go out on a tidal flat or a marsh and bag a score or more in a couple of hour's time I have killed three at a single shot, he related. Like those omnivorous h u- man feeders of the nursery talcs who ate four and twenty black birds baked in a pie," this old gentleman was not particularly interested in any biological facts about the marsh birds, known as curlews. He, like so many folks, thought only of satisfying his appetite. He wasn't interested at all that a close relative of the birds he ate was the so-called Eskimo curlew which once inhabited the northern tundras in uncounted Dennis the Menace n n WUT4 WORE IMRJWANT . . .

Only a few mount ed specimen's remain to gather dust in museums. Reminiscence What stated the old "curlew pie" eater's gastronomic rem iniscence was on the day we visited the "city of the long legs" where half a hundred Hud sonian curlews were probing the mud of a tidal-flat, seeking snails and worms. The long downward curved bills were carefully being plunged into the soft mud, each bill as clever in its operation as a pair of forceps in the hand of a skilled surgeon, except that the birds' bills were delicately sensitive. Each is equipped with a series of com plex nerves, capable of select ing or rejecting, even while the eye of the bird couldn't see what the bill was touching. The old-timer, the eater of "curlew pie," cared not at all that the Hudsonian curlew, simi lar probably to some he used to cat, nests in Alaska. Some are even beyond the Yukon Riv er, but plentiful in many coastal regions while on their long yearly migrations. Watching the group of curved bills busy at their mud-probing, we yielded to the temptation of distrubing the flock, just to en joy the spectacle of their pe culiar method of wing-manipu-lation when they again come to rest on the farther end of the mudflat. Every bird, on alight ing, lifts both its wings grace fully above its back, then they are folded gracefully and gently, and the mud - probing begins again. Relatives Came While we watched, a large flock of relatives came alter nately flapping and gliding in; great white birds with black- tipped wings. These, the white ibis, are often referred to in the area as the Spanish cur lew, and probably also formed the meaty portion of many "cur lew pies." The old-timer was not im pressed with the arrival ot these graceful birds. He watched them only as something good to cat He could see no Deauiy, jusi News Machine Has Major Place in Goldwater's Office By A.. ROBERT SMITH Mall Tribune Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON - Sen. Barry Goldwater's office here has taken on the appearance of a political command post. Goldwater had installed in his Senate oitice suite a news ticker," or teleprinter, by which he and his staff can obtain up to the minute reports of what is happening all over the world and even all over Washington, D. C from the wires of United Press International. Various government agencies, embassies, and private business offices as well as newspaper of fices in Washington buy this same news service, but prob ably the only other individual politican in town who goes to this expense is the president. That chattering news machine symbolizes the Goldwater effort to stay on top of what is going on, to have a ready comment for reporters on the latest develop ment for today s edition when the news is breaking, and to maintain his current status as the front runner. Good Press No Accident For while Barry Morris Gold- water won't admit that he is a prcsidental contender, he is get ting the best press probably ever accorded a junior senator from a state that only ranks 35th in population in the whole nation. Getting a good press is not an Myrtle Creek Man Fined; Dies in Crash REDDING, Calif (UPI) -Herman Battles, 29, Myrtle Creek, Ore., paid a $100 fine for drunk driving and then drove to his death less than 24 hours later, according to the Cali fornia Highway Patrol.

He is one of the many old-timers that still refuse to be lieve that all wild creatures be long lo all the people, not to any one group; he fulls to under stand that, without rigid pro tection and strict game laws, many desirable creatures would disappear down human throats. accident of Goldwater's person ality, his singular appeal for staunch conservatives or his slashing jibes at the Kennedy administration. Not satisfied with his own natural ability to articulate, Goldwater has recruited a staff of professionals in the art of communication, all ex-newspa permen, to help keep his band wagon rolling in the right direc tion. "We don't have a lawyer on our staff," said Theodore J. Kazy, Goldwater's administra tive assistant. Kazy, 34, is a 1952 graduate of the University of Arizona school of journalism. After graduation, he worked as a sports and lea ture writer on the Arizona Re public, the conservative Phoenix daily newspaper. Goldwater hired him in 1959 to fill a staff vacancy and three months later made Kazy his No. 1 aide. "I'd never been active in pol itics before," Kazy said, "and now I'm right in the middle of it." No. 2 man is Tony S. Smith Goldwater's press secretary for the past three years. Smith is a veteran of more years in Washington than the Senator. He went from a wire service re porting job in Pennsylvania to the Washington bureau of Scripps-Howard for the Pitts burgh Press, where he became acquainted with the late Rep. Richard Simpson (R-Pa.), who headed the GOP congressional campaign committee. Smith went to work for that campaign organizaton, from which he moved to Goldwater's office. Another Reporter Hired Last week Goldwater hired another ex-reporter, William Flythe, who worked on the now defunct Washington Times Herald before its sale to the Washington Post. Flythe, who is Smith's assistant, also work ed for the GOP campaign com mittee. The task of writing most of Goldwater's prepared speeches falls mainly on Smith. The same is true of writing the three-timcs-weekly Barry Goldwater column which has been syndic ated by the Los Angeles Times since 1959. The column is purchased by an average of 175 newspapers, Smith said, and the last weekly report from the syndicate show ed 11 new clients trying it and one dropping it. But when, and it, the senator throws his hat formally into the ring, the syn dicate plans to drop the column, Smith said. Smith maintains that the column and the speeches "all come out of this office." mean ing they aren't ghost-written by outsiders, and that they are the net product of Goldwater's thoughts and convictions, which he dicates on a home dictaphone in spare moments or expresses to his aides in office confer ences. By now Smith is skilled in the art needed by an aspiring national politican, the art of fashioning words and phrases that give their man's ideas punch and political appeal. In a prepared speech on the nuclear test ban treaty, for ex ample, Goldwater said: "In favor of it, after all is said and done, is a hope, usually described as a faint glimmer, that this may be the first step toward easing tension in the world. It is difficult, if not im possible, to argue with a hope. It is an emotional thing and arguments appear harsh in its soft gentle glow. The more fra gile an illusion the more rude must seen the attempts to shat ter it." And talking to a GOP group in New Jersey Goldwater spoke of the growth of the party as a "truely national party," due to its gains in the South. "On the other hand there is the declining vitality of that strangest creature in all poli tics, the mutation that has re sulted from the marriage of big-city Democrat political boss es to ivory tower Democrat so cial reformers. Evolution, don't forget, works two ways. While the dinosaurs were dying, high er forms were breathing new life. And in all American politics there is no more dinosaur-like creature than the big city ma chine of the Democrats." Measured By Mailbags A measure of Goldwater's ap peal, beyond the rising popular ity ratings he gets from public opinion polls, lies in the mail bags which are carried into his office daily. Kazy said the sen ator received 12,000 letters on the test ban treaty, 90 per cent against it, and over 1,000 tele grams, only 16 of which urged him to support it. An average day's mail is 500 to 600 letters, Kazy estimated. Goldwater, in short, has moun tains of daily evidence that he speaks for thousands of Ameri cans, assurances that he is right on the issues, and plans to try for the presidency. A visit to his command post, where the news ticker chatters out the details of the world's troubles and where the skills of communication and public rela-1 evident that it is only a matter water from openly declaring his tions savvy appear to have the of awaiting the most appropriate intention not to disappoint his highest priority, makes it seem time that deters Barry Gold-1 followers in 1964. 3 Eenmey's FT V 5 DAYS ONLY!
