OCTOBER 27. 1963 Birchers and Believability Robert Welch, the founder and still the nom inal leader of the John Birch Society, is up to his old tricks again. The United Press Internationa! reports that he was interviewed on a television show Thurs day, and it added: "Welch reiterated charges that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower is a traitor and that the late John Foster Dulles was a Communist." This sort of thing, which tended to attract the lunatic fringe in the early semi-secret days of the society, is now rather an embarrassment to some of the later members, who apparently are striving for respectability. THE NEW YORK Times Western Edition re cently carried a story under a headline which said, "Birch Leaders Curb Welch; Name Him Elder Statesman." In part, the story said: "SAN MARINO, Calif., Oct. 12. The lesser leaders of the John Birch Society have at last discovered a way to curb the contentious utterances of their founder. "Robert H..W. Welch Jr. has been promoted, at the age of 63, to a position as the society's elder statesman, with all of the veneration and uncertain authority that that term implies. "At a recent testimonial dinner in Los Angeles, Mr. Welch was lavishly honored by 1,600 members and guests. The principal speaker, however, was a nonmcmbcr, Ezra Taft Benson, whose message was strongly conservative with few traces of Mr. Welch's preoccupation with conspiracy in high places. . . . "Although most critics of the Birch Society have aimed their fire at Mr. Welch, his continuation in some capacity was never seriously in doubt. "Only one council member, it is reported, still believes that Mr. Welch can serve his organization best by detach ing himself from it. "The council, however, has been expanding its role steadily at the expense of his one-man rule. The council members now issue their own statements of policy on current issues. . . . "Birch leaders are also trying to lower the emotion of their members, who are being exhorted to behave with good will, patience and tact toward disbelievers. "Overly belligerent tactics such as were recently em ployed at a civil rights meeting in Los Angeles County, are to be avoided. Three Birch members (were charged with) disrupting that forum with shouting and insults." (They later were convicted. Ed.) IF, INDEED, Birch Society members do behave un'tVi n'ririr1 mm 11 nuh'nnno inrl t'.iff" if will be a net gain, for a rational discussion of the great issues of the day an environment ot heckling and cat-calling. As a matter of fact, Birchers' charges, and the statements which arc palpably false, has de stroyed the Society's claim to credibility among run-of-the-mill citizens. Welch can continue Eisenhower being a traitor, and who will believe him? Respectability and vive. that sort or rot.

Veterans Day Critics Some veterans and us figure out why are session of the Legislature on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. Nov. 11 originally day on which fighting ended in World War I. As such it was a very special clay to the dough boys who were "over there." It was a time of reunions and celebrations and parades. But then World War II and Korea came along, and Armistice Day the day cele brated to mark the end of the war to end wars lost some of its charm. Later, in a sort of un easy compromise between sentiment and practi cality, the day was renamed Veterans Day, and it is observed to honor all who have served in the nation's armed forces, in all wars. m AS A HOLIDAY, it never has fully "caught on," in the sense that Labor Day or Inde pendence Day has. Many veterans, of course, still have a sentimental feeling about it, and as is entirely appropriate, celebrate it. But, while a legal holiday, most businesses continue and the world goes on much as usual. Why shouldn't the Legislature convene on that clay? The members, if one wishes to look at it that way, are "veterans" of many a battle. And, this year of troubled finances, it would be a good idea for them to declare an "armistice" and get on with the job. nOW HATFIELD, who called the session, is a Navy veteran. Many members are too. Yet they have been attacked in shrill tones by one veterans group in Portland for "desecrat ing" the holiday. They were answered sharply by State Sen. Ted Hallock, who in turn was sharply criticized by the attackers. Ted was the wrong one to criticize. 1 Io is one of the most decorated fliers to come out of the Army Air Force during World War 11 a genuine war hero, the kind Veterans Day honors.

VIEWS ON FAMILY DIFFER Dear Dr. Adler: The family has been considered through out the ages as one of the most important organizations of mankind. However, there has been much disagreement with regard Io (he role that it should play in society. Plato, for example, suggested a sys tem of marriage for the guard ian class which was indeed unique. What did oilier great thinkers have In say about the rule and function of (lie fam ily. Dr. Herd 11. Bradford 1211 Last Aspen Ave. I'rovn, Ulah Dear Dr. Bradford: Most thinkers in our tradition have viewed the family as an institu tion which satisfies universal human needs. Among these needs are the needs for sexual union and procreation, and for the care and rearing of off spring. The family also fulfills the need for the instruction of the young in the ways of the society into which they are born. Aristotle recognized both the instinctive and ethical aspects of the family 25 centuries ago. He defined the family as a "Union of those who cannot exist with out each other; namely of male and female, that the race may continue," arising from "natural desire." But then he added sig nificantly that the family, like the state, is a peculiarly human "association of living beings," which has the "sense of good and evil, of just and unjust." The way in which these uni versal human needs has been met and the consequent form the family has taken has var ied considerably in different times and places. The early bonks of the Bible show that a polygamous type of family ex isted among the ancient Jew ish patriarchs. Also the large "consanguinal" type of family consisting of an elderly couple, their children, children's spous es, grandchildren, etc. seems to have been far more preva lent in the ancient world than the present "conjugal" typo consisting of a couple and their children. Most Western thinkers, from Aristotle to Freud, have agreed that the family plays a neces sary and beneficial role in weld ing individuals into the struc ture and values of the commun- ! ity as a whole. Plato, however, ! stands out as a uniquely radical dissident, who advocated the I abolition of the family in order I Io safeguard the common good. He proposed that the guardian j class in his ideal state not only have goods in common, but also, wives, husbands and children.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. From the Great Books By Mortimer J. Adfcr 1063, Publishers Newspaper Syndicate) Aristotle opposed Plato's plan as leading to the destruction, rather than the promotion, of the common good.- The political community, said Aristotle, is by nature pluralistic, consisting of families and individuals which differ from one another. Too much unity would destroy the state. As for family affection being spread out over the whole community, in which wives and children were had in common, love would be watered down rather than multiplied. Social and political thinkers of various shades of opinion have tended to side with Aristotle in this argument. The Soviet Union, after some experiments in the early revolutionary days, has recognized the role of the stable conjugal family as a building block of the greater so ciety. Plato's views have been applied in part, however, to fam ily life in the Israeli communal settlements, where children are brought up in common nurseries and dormitories, apart from the conjugal couple.

OREGON A LAST IGI.Y FOOTNOTE WASHINGTON - One last, rather ugly footnote is required by this reporter's just-completed Asian journey. In brief, if the signs in the Far East mean any thing at all, President Kennedy's troubles with President Charles de Gaulle have only just begun. At the moment, former French Prime Minister Edgar Faurc is paying a kind of good will visit to Communist China, reportedly with official encour agement from the dc Gaulle government. More important still, the head of one of the big French oil and general trading companies, Guillaume Georges Picot, left Peking only a couple of weeks ago, after a long stay as the leader of a trade mission "representing the French Manu facturers' Association. In addition, during his recent visit to Washington, French For eign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville let drop the remark to Secretary of State Dean G. Rusk that it was now "illogical" not to recognize Communist China. From these portents, certain tentative predictions can be made. FIRST, Gen. de Gaulle will probably recognize the Pe king regime if suitable condi tions can be negotiated, lnis means, above all, that the French must not be put in the same humiliating category as the British, who fell over them selves in their haste to recog nize Mae Tse-tung's govern ment, but are still not permitted to have a representative in Peking above the rank of charge d'affaires. De Gaulle will only be satisfied with sending an am bassador of full rank, and re ceiving one in return. Second, this mutual recogni tion, if it is arranged, will prob ably be accompanied by the ex tension of substantial French credit to the Chinese Commu nists. The choice of Georges Picot to head the trade mission implies the hope of petroleum exports to China, to replace the oil fuel the Chinese still precar iously import from the Soviet Union, lt the credit is extended, the terms are likely to be de signed to set a pattern, which mav be followed by the Japan ese and others who are tempted to do business with the Chinese Comunists. The French are quite astute enough, of course, to see that they are highly unlikely to make large profits from trade with Peking. There is also notning that makes recognition of Com munist China more "logical" to day than it was in the past. As always in the past, France and her African allies have just, once again, cast their votes against Communist China's ad mission to the United Nations. But that, apparently, is likely to change next year. ... IV'HAT, then, are the motives " of this significant and po tential damaging new maneu ver, to which the French govern ment is known to be giving ac tive consideration? The answer appears to be that "motive" is Comment wives of members from serv' ing as secretaries to their hus bands. In the upcoming special session the Senate is going to "travel light" as far as hired help is concerned. The experience will be help ful and may serve as a prece dent.

I This is rather a reaction an instinctive rather than a moti vated reaction to Nikita S. Khrushchev's snubs of Gen. de Gaulle, to the nuclear test-ban treaty, to the slight warm-up of Soviet-American relations, and to other linked phenomena. In other words, if Moscow insists on treating President Kennedy as the one Western leader with whom it is worth doing business, the grandeur of France demands a comparable relationship with the other Communist giant. These are shocking things to say. But shocking things have happened already, and the fact that they have happened in creases the probability that a French policy-change toward Peking is in the wind. From Sai gon, this reporter sent the news of an elaborate, long-continuing French intrigue to defeat Amer ican policy in Viet Nam, by pro moling conversations between the North and South Vietnamese "behind the backs of the Amer icans." rpilE phrase is quoted from President Ngo Dinh Diem's brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, who is both the primary target and the intended mainspring of the French intrigue. South Vict Nam would have been sold out to the Communists to the North if Ngo Dinh Nhu had succumbed to the quite elaborate French-organized petitions (which includ ed careful softening-up by the French ambassador to Saigon, the well-timed Olympian come-on statement by President de Gaulle, and a private message from the North Vietnamese Pre mier, Pham Van Dong). The op tion, it must be added, is always open to Nhu. On extremely specious grounds, the existence of this in trigue' was officially denied to the U. S. Ambassador in Paris, Charles E. Bohlen. The denial merely increases the unpleasant ness of the facts, which cannot be doubted. The French govern ment has, of course, previously indicated lack of sympathy with U.S. policy in Vict Nam. But there is the longest pos sible step betwen an honest in dication of lack of sympathy and embarking on a secret intrigue to defeat the policy of a pre sumed ally with no notice given to the ally, of course. From these facts, future French inten tions must be judged. "Joe, we understand you're afraid to serve Negroes because you think we'll mind.

Liberty Amendment ment Committee of Oregon, 310 To the Editor: We the peo ple, and "patriots" of Oregon, would LOVE to support our state in a style even more lav ish than it - has become ac customed. This can be done in a way that would warm the saddest legislative legislator's heart in the face of the recent election rebuff . . . and this, by the same action would leave from $50 to $100 per week MORE in our respective taxpayer's pockets. At this writing, buried in the Senate is the Liberty Amend ment . . . "tabled during the last legislative assembly. IMAGINE! Our senators and representatives tabled the very Amendment that would provide ways to put their hands on con siderably more revenue annual ly than asked for. For those in the dark on the subject, the Liberty Amend ment is a resolution to take our. federal government out of private business, and repeal the federal income tax. Strange enough this does not "rob" the federal government, but rather takes them out of the "red", and hands them back MORE income than ever before . . . but this NOT at the cost of the American taxpayer. He would then have a great deal more than enough to support his own state ... as said before: Lavishly." This is a Republic of 50 states, with sovereignity vested in, the states by our federal constitu tion. The United States is NOT a democracy with all power vested in a bureaucratic cen tral government. The Constitution provides that three-quarter of the states need to pass this resolution to make it become law in three years. Six states have already passed the Liberty Amendment: Wyo ming: Texas: Nevada; Louisi ana; South Carolina and Geor gia. Therefore, it behooves our elected representatives to put this resolution back on the agen da, and pass it this coming special session.

McGee, 633 Carrington, Medford Keep Them Busy To the Editor: Many wonder why the young adults of Med ford get into so much trouble. They really don't intend to get in trouble. The young people just don't have anything to keep them busy. They have lots of "steam" to burn up. It is up to the leaders of our community to see that they burn it up in tne ngnt way. Parents of these young people complain like crazy. But you sure don t see many of tht complaining ones doing anything about the problem, outside of telling them they had better not get in trouble or they will be punished. The punishment doesn't do much good if them isn't anything for them to do. They have to find something to do. They could go to the show. bowling, or skating. But they don't always have the money. Besides the same thing every week end isn't very much fun. uur young people don t have any variety of activity available. I believe there is something our community can do to keep thesa young adults busy, that won't break anyone s pocketbook. Carol Dicksen 51 North Oakdale Ave. Medford. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Hurricanes and we've read a lot about them lately are a manifestation of the weather. Two hurricane questions: 1. What causes 'em? 2. How come the U.S. Weather bureau some years ago to name 'cm all for women? ACCORDING to the weather "sharps, a hurricane is a windstorm of such fury that it can tear ships from their an chors, blow large buildings to pieces and raise Ned generally. A hurricane occurs when a mass of warm air breaks through a mass of colder air above and rushes up through the hole thus formed with frightful force. The winds are caused by more air rushing in to get up through the hole. Hurricanes break up and call it quits when they move over colder water which cools off tha warmer air that is rushing in to get up through the hole. rpHAT'S about the long and the short of it. It explains why hurricanes fizzle out when they leave the warmer waters of the south and get over the colder waters to the north. The weather professionals add that a hurricane is strongest when it moves over water be cause it doesn't run into ob jects that could break its force. A hurricane often dies down a short time after it reaches land because mountains and hills slow it down. IHAT takes care of Question No. 1. Now for Question No. 2 how did our Weather Bureau people come to name these destructive manifestations of nature for WOMEN? That remains a mystery. I suppose cvnics will claim that NOBODY knows why i oureaucrais do wnat they do. HERE'S a thought: Mnvhn vvhnn tho weather i dozen 1 bureau got together years or so ago and decided that hurricanes ought to be named they had all been reading Kipling and Sir Walter Scott. Kipling, you know, says in his Female of the Species: "Tha female of the species is more deadly than the male." That takes care of the dcadli ness of the hurricane. !
