V THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1363 The "Influence This is National Newspaper Week. It is also the week when the voters over whelmingly voted down a tax increase, against' the advice of all but a handful of the daily; newspapers of the state. j So it might be an appropriate time to think ! nl.'vut tUn i-,f liinnnA rf rr it n 1 a rn ika i-a .-1 i V, rr ' auuui cue ui public. It is manifest they do have certainly on the outcome of the The editorial writers bered. e 'PHIS proves, if nothing else, what editorial A. influence is not. It and never will be, the what to do or not to never has been, and never will be, the power to "brainwash" readers.' But editorials, to the extent that they are read,, do have a certain influence. It may be negative influence, in some situations, where readers disagree with the editorial, and are simply reinforced in their beliefs thereby. This, in fact, may have been the case in the recent election campaign. In any event, there such negative influence does exist. DOSITIVE editorial influence is a far more subtle thing. It depends on many factors how many people see the paper, and how many read the editorials; whether they have a predisposition to agree with the editorial writer's overall and general point 'of view; are written and how well they make their points; whether the editorial writer is held in general respect; whether the paper itself is trusted as a news medium or whether it is suspected of slanting its news; the general atmosphere of the community all these and many other fac tors are part of any formula designed to meas ure editorial influence. It should be noted that these are variables, and can change from day to day, week to week, and political campaign to political campaign. FEW people will judge a single editorial on its merits alone, particularly if they are long-time readers or the paper. 1 hey. are more apt to judge it in light of what they know about the paper and the editor. If they believe he is honest, and if he presents and imagination, the reader is much more apt to be influenced than if the writer blows hot one day and cold another, compromises his integrity, or writes in stuffy or foggy style difficult to follow. Too, readers are more an editorial page which ions to be expressed, whether or not they happen to agree with the opinions of the editor. A lively letters-to-the-editor column, as distinct from the editorials themselves, is parts of any paper, and which a paper is held. TMIE predispositions of the reader are also im portant in gauging editorial influence. Any communication gin and its destination. not received, it is not a communication. An un read editorial docs not communicate anything to anyone ; it has no influence at all. When a message is received, and communica tion established, it encounters a particular mind set. This may be hostile or friendly; credulous or skeptical; intelligent or ignorant; and these varying attitudes are just as much a part of the process of communicating as is the message itself. The mind-set of each reader is just a bit dif ferent. Each reads the message in a slightly dif ferent fashion, and thus actually receives a slight ly dilterent message. And precisely what the writer WAS the failure of TT election also a failure of editorial influence? A failure of communication? Perhaps it was. A Inure majority of the voters apparently had their minds made up that this was a bad law, that taxes arc too high, and that the opinion leaders and editorial writers of the state were ganging up on them to put something over. When one encounters a mind-set of this in tensity, there is very little that can be dor to overcome it. All the efforts to convince th voters that the tax bill was the least of several possible evils failed completely. The message didn't get through, or was flatly rejected when it did. CAC15D with such massive rejection, should the 1 editorial writers close up shop? Certainly not. The chief objective of a good editorial page is nnt tini'iiniln It t.i crintntor f U .

"Touch System" To the Editor: Two items, the Touch System, also the Home Museum, seem of ever increas ing importance in nature edu cation. Testimony as to the value of the "Touch System" came from one Junior Mu seum's director. This as to the meteorite contributed by writ er. There seemed to be fascin ation when a kiddie could hold, in his own hand, a fragment of what one sometimes sees flash across the sky as a red hot shooting star. This absorption is not con fined to young folks. Under signed recalls one night on a camel trip on the Sahara Des ert. There was a succession of streaks of flame across the sky because of a meteoric shower. Our Arab camelboys were quite excited. We did not understand their Arabic. Our French - speaking dragoman, however, explained these Mos lems believed Allah's angels were pelting those of the Devil. Because of the value of the touch system, as with above it seemed a wise, investment to contribute such small me teorites to all U. S. A. s junior museums. Equal thereto in education has been the Home Museum As to this, writer has advo cated each autumn, adding to same last summer's birds nests. Of unending interest has been the housef inch nest building al his home. Now comes publication of research as to measurement of house- finch transportation power. Bulk for bulk, says a recent essay, our lovable little house- finches can carry nest mate rial as heavy as when an eagle seizes a rabbit, a lamb or, as the old folk yarns used to say a small child.

Walter P. llollman, the fi nance department's population expert, says the average Cali fornia lady will be 20.3 years old, while Ihe men will average out at only 27.6 years of age. IIOL1.MAN also forecast that 11 California's bulging popula tion will swell to 27.8 million in the next six years, with toddlers under five accounting for about 2.740,000, or roughly 10 per cent of the total. .

This added to the sorrow in the hearts of those near and dear to the victims, presents anything but a lovely picture. From this experience those of us who live should draw an ob ject lesson. The writer wonders how many of the dead were ready to meet their Maker? Whether we believe it or not, all, and that means you and me, will someday stand before the God who gives us life. If at that time the Judge finds us unpre pared, the ensuing tragedy for us will be far greater than just the loss of physical life here. For us eternal life with God will for ever be shut out. I realize that here in our beautiful Rogue Valley, there are many devoted Christians who long for that bright day when our Lord will return. But sometimes I wonder if we really believe what we say we do. It will be of interest to many that several laymen in the area plan something perhaps lust a bit different, in their endeavor to help individuals in the valley. Beginning on Saturday, Oct. 19, a new radio program will be heard on KRVC. The Hall of Destiny will originate at 3 p.m. each Saturday. Local talent will be used. The speaker will be one who has a burden to help those around him. Listeners will be- invited to write in questions that have been perplexing them. The word of God will be the source for answers that will be given over the air. Besides this question answer ing service, a clinic is planned whereby those desiring help in overcoming Ihe tobacco and liquor habits will be aided.

Duncan Replies Editor's note: The following letter by Congressman Robert Duncan was in reply to one printed recently in this column. o Miss Martha P. Brooks Trail, Oregon Dear Miss Brooks: Thank you for the copy of your letter to the editor of the Medford Mail Tribune. You are correct; the visibility was excellent. You are, likewise, correct that nei ther the President nor I saw the sign. We moved from side to side of the aircraft to see items of interest. It may very well be that your sign was on the blind side. In any event, we were not looking for any such sign, and it's difficult for me to see why people would go to all that trouble when I have had not one single letter expressing any opposition to this project in the nine months I have been in office. I further find it difficult to understand why you would characterize the Rogue Basin Project as "pork barrel" when its cost-to-benefit ratio is ex cellent, when you have doubtless observed the ravages ot the Rogue in flood stage, when you have doubtless observed for yourself the effect of the low warm water flows on the fish life of the Rogue, and when you consider the growing population of Southwest Oregon and our increasing need for water not just for agriculture but for mu nicipal and industrial uses that we hope and know will come. Water, to the West, is an ab solute necessity. It is becoming more and more of a critical problem all over Ihe country. The time to plan, the time to provide the water is before the need is critical, for projects such as the Rogue take several years from conception to frui tion. There are reclamation proj- ects wnicn tail inio ine ciassi- lication into wnicn you attempt to put the Rogue, but I think you are in error in so categor- izing this project.

PERSONAL PHE.IiniCES There is a profound ditterence between the genuine conserva- live who wants to preserve what was best in the past, and the reactionary who wants to it can never be got rid o(. but restore what was most profit-! only made to function more able in the past; and it is hard nearly like its natural proto for one to distinguish between ; type. these two tendencies within himself, because to most of us what is profitable is, ipso facto, the best. The real evil of war is not the destruction and death it leaves so much as the rever sal of values it promotes; it sanctifies force and fraud, and turns brutality and treachery Irom vices into vir tues; and when It is over. Ihe ordinary man wonders why. If morality can be suspended between nations, it should he resumed or respected be tween persons. Those who scrutinize too rlnselv imacine thev are cot- tmg at the "truth" when they are onlv distortme nature: afl- er all. when glimpsed through a macnifvinc class, the skin ol 1 th- k.Mi.r,,! unman in the world seems full of large 1 and uglv po'cs It Is good to know when one's limit has been reached, and to keep In mind that fine old Savoyard proverb: "I have so much to do that I am going to bed." Morocco describes them l as "Moroccan lands under Al- gerian control." Included are areas rich in oil, natural gas and other resources. The Moroccans claim they were annexed by France when she controlled Algeria. Scene of the most recent clashes has been Tinnjoub, of little value except as a bargaining point.

Any time you have any prooiems on wnicn you mime i can ne oi assistance, I hope you'll phone, wire or write me a letter. It is not necessary to carve your message on the side of the hill, for, dramatic though it might be, there are much easier means of communication, and there is always the possibilty that your message may be over looked as was the case here. Thank you for your interest and for, belatedly, advising me of your opposition to the project. Robert B. Duncan Member of Congress Washington, D. C. Seeks Understanding To the Editor: Please excuse to trouble you at your worthful time for daily publishing, but 1 have very keen desire to start contact with your good reader which I can hardly evade out of my heart in these day. At present, Japan is isolated island in Far East, especially since last Great War, but young seneration are trying to do everything to regain friendship based on deep understanding. And this is the very reason why I am writing to you now. Don't you think it's a good idea if we could understand each other by exchanging some stamps, view cards, books, painting work, photos and news or daily activities or even the world events? The understanding is, I think, the first required necessary thing before starting any thing. The friendship built upon such understanding can really serve the way to the brighter life and the world peace better. My very writing of this letter is for that purpose. Up until this time I did not know how to do any thing like this, but as I was told by the Youth Council For International Contact (20-1 Chome, Jinbo-Cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan) recently that the best way is to write to the edi tors of some newspapers. So here I am writing this. Perhaps it might be too much to ask you but if you can insert this letter somewhere in your newspaper, I would be more than appreciated. Expecting vour cordial attention on this note. Let me introduce hyself here: I am 22 years old Japanese boy and am a planter.

To seem small talk in social gatherings is as foolish and su percilious as bringing nothing but a hundred dollar bill to a penny arcade. But Hassan himself, for bet ter or for worse for his future ! in Africa, has been linked with j the West. And, like President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia, j which flanks Algeria on the outer side, frequently has found himself a target of Ben Bella Ben Bella is a proclaimed socialist whose views lean to ward President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Re- ; public and his sympathies to ward President Gamal Ab- del Nasser of the United Arab Republic and his sympathies toward Fidel Castro. Hassan has tried to follow a course of enlightened reform. A year ago he set up Moroc co's first constitution, and, through a popular referendum, proclaimed Morocco a "demo cratic social monarchy." The designation itself is one of vague proportions. The king names the premier and his cab inet ministers, he also must ap prove all legislation. He can, if he wishes, refer legislation to a popular referendum. THE GREAT ASIAN TAKE OVER SEOUL, Korea Here in Korea, the quest for an answer to a rather major riddle has ended. The riddle is why the Chinese have been able to take over virtually every Asian Com munist party, despite the great advantages enjoyed by the So viets in the bitter contest for influence. From India eastwards, the only parties still clinging pre cariously to the fence arc those in Indonesia and North Viet Nam. But it is already quite clear that North Vietnamese and the Indonesian parties will be forced to climb off the fence very soon, and both will come down on the Chinese side. Some of the cases of parties which have already made their choice are downright startling. In Burma, for instance, the so called White Flag Communists were always supposed to be pro Soviet, while the tiny, extremist Red Flag faction was considered pro-Chinese. But now the Red Flags are denouncing Mao Tse tung for not being nearly Stal inist enough, while the White Flag group has openly given its allegiance to Peking. TN LAOS, again, the Pathet Lao were entirely supplied, financ ed, fed, in fact kept alive by the Soviets, until the present shakey cease-fire in Laos was agreed on by Nikita S. Khrushchev and President Kennedy. Loval to the agreed terms, the Soviets then stopped their supply deliveries ! to the Pathet Lao whereupon the Laotian Communists immed- iatly began to take advice from the Chinese alone. In Japan, yet again, the inital Soviet advantages were almost as great as they were in Laos. In the post-war period, when the Japanese Communist party emerged from its former under ground existence, the Soviets were the Japanese party s first paymaster: they supervised the reconstruction of its apparatus: they got in, as it were, on the ground floor. In retrospect, it is clear that Ihe Chinese played a trump card when they sent the dynam ic Sanzo Nozako back from Ye nan, where he had spent the war years close to Mao Tse tung. But the Soviets evidently did not know that N'ozaka's first loyalty was to Mao: and they permitted him to assume his present position of leadership without opposition or protest.

Tax reforms have been in stituted and an agrarian reform program in distributing land to landless peasants. Democracy in Morocco is a far cry from democracy as it is understood in the United States. But a start has been made. Since 1957, the United States has provided Morocco with well over $350 million in various forms of aid, and will continue its help even after U.S. air bases in Morocco are aban doned. But Morocco has been caught up in the vortex of the strug gle for influence in Africa which effects both its internal and external policies. A year ago there were ru mors that Hassan's 22-year-o!d sister might marry Ben Bella. If there ever was an agree ment, today it definitely would seem to be off. Advance for PMs Thurs.

The Soviets also sent back to Japan a much lar ger group of ex-war prisoners, including many supposedly well trained party workers. But the Soviet - returned Communists were ineffectual, whereas the Chinese - returned Communists were tough and effective. Henco the Japanese party has lined up with Peking. In North Korea, finally, tlm Soviet leverage was, and is, greater than in Japan or any where else; for the North Ko rean armed forces are living from hand-to-mouth and will suffer acutely from a final break. Despite this great and continu ing Soviet leverage, however, the North Koreans were anions the first Asian parties to choosn the Chinese side in the great quarrel. Here, the explanation lies, quite clearly, in the char acter and position of the Norlli Korean Communist boss, Kim 11-sung. Kim is perhaps the most Stal inist of all the Communist par ties' remaining Stalinists, and ho also encourages a "cult of per sonality" even exceeding t h a cult that surrounds Mao-Tsc-tung. Primarily for these rea sons, Khrushchev's secret speech attacking de-Stalinization in Russia, were very severo blows to Kim Il-sung. w T'IM MIGHT not have survived the resulting challenge to his overweaning power, in fact, if he had not restored to the simple expedient of arresting a good many members of the par ty's Central Committee. A series of purges of the par ty were then ordered by Kim. And now he is Mao's most loyal and active Asian ally. Read down this curious list. The impression is overwhelm ing that Russians have taken the Asian parties (or granted, have not understood their lead ers, and have been taken by surprise by Chinese boring-from-within. Even the comparatively simple problem of Kim Il-sung ought to have been possible for Moscow to solve if Moscow had displayed either understanding of foresight. Maybe the Russians would have an even harder time than President Kennedy has had if South Viet Nam were their prob lem instead of ours.
