They will advise the cases brought before him involving teen-agers and young adults. The make the final decisions, advice and counsel of bracket as the defendants. This is one of a few nation. The best-known a city of some 205,000 population. AN ARTICLE in a recent issue of Readers' Di- gest (condensed from Parents' Magazine) told about the Jacksonville experiment. It said; in part: ". . . The presence of the Youth Jury has reduced the city's former alarming rate of juvenile delinquency by at least a half within the single year of the jury's existence." Judge John E. Santora, in whose court the jury functions, is quoted "Perhaps the most powerful effect of the Youth Jury is a deeply psychological one. It takes the pseudo-glamor out of being a bad boy or girl. It cuts even the worst hoodlums down to size. I can preach. They know I can sentence them to a very uncomfortable time. They glare at me. But they don't glare at that jury. They look, and then they wilt. These are decent kids who are shaming them down. 11 works almost every time with lasting results." rNE OF THE more interesting features of the Youth Jury system has been some of the penalties they have devised. They think that parents always can pay tines, so they concentrate on finding ways to really "punish" the young of fenders. A favorite one, particularly for traffic of fenders, is to spend one the medical center, where tims of auto collisions, violence. In other instances, they are assigned to polish brasswork at police headquarters, or sweep up a city park. "He knows that he s that sticks," Judge Santora said. WE HOPE that Judge a Youth Jury is as Judge Santora's. It may m the size of the community, and other differ ences, will create special problems. But we see no reason work well. It certainly is is only fractionally as successful as the Jackson vile experiment, it would do much to broaden understanding, and create an atmosphere where youngsters m trouble will justice teen-age style, the court to back them up. Ernest Evans, the youth worker whose idea the Jury first was, said : scoundrels. We don't like it, and we're doing something about it." ' Uood luck. E. A. Data Explosion In addition to the "explosions" we read about the population explosion, the technology explo sion, and so on The New York Times notes an other one the data explosion. It has been said that have lived on earth since out of ten are still alive. that new scientific data are being discovered at a tremendously accelerated rate. 1 he problem is that there is so much of it that no individual could possibly encompass it all. It would be a life's work merely cataloging and fil ing all the discoveries, them and relating them CVEN IN narrowly specialized fields such as - molecular liioloev. sav scientists have difficulty keeping current with new findings which have direct application to their own work. Attempting to keep current with other but re lated fields is even more difficult. . Computers programmed to receive, classify and assign scientific data may be a partial an swer to this problem. But it can be but a partial answer at best, simply because of the sheer vol ume of material, There probably is no real solution to the problem posed by this data explosion, except for individual scientists to they know how, in their specialization learning, as the saying goes more and more about less and less. 'FHE big challenges in lie in discovering the large relationships be tween apparently unrelated sets of facts, and formulating the theories which explain them. This cannot be done by narrow specialization, but must be done by interdisciplinarians who are capable of the abstract bined with wide observation and knowledge, which can lead to such magnificent break throughs in science as Darwin's evolutionary theories and Einstein's concepts of the structure of the universe. And here again the sheer mass of available data makes the task of the interdiscipline theoriz er all the more difficult and all the more im portant. E. A.

And Cottle's experience with successful as has been be that the difference it can not work, and worth a try. Even if it know they will receive but with the authority of "All kids are being called of all the scientists that civilization began, nine This means, of course, let alone understanding to the others. keep working the best ever - narrowing fields of science, now as always, tvne of thinking, com pi FAREWELL TO DIEM WASHINGTON What hap pened in Saigon was bound to happen,' for the tragically sim ple reason that Ngo Dinh Nhu finally lost all grip on reality, while President Dinh Diem, though sane enough himself, nonetheless saw the outer world through the half-mad eyes of his brother. Even in Washington, halfway around the world, it is easy to imagine the climate of the last days and weeks of the Diem regime. As long as two months ago, when this reporter was ui Saigon, the army leaders were already beginning to rally around Gen. Duong Van Minh, because they had already con cluded that President Diem's government was no longer via ble. Even Ihen il was clear thai if Diem did not lake the "need ed steps to m.ke his govern ment viable once more, the army leaders would eventually take steps to find a new gov ernment. From that time until the grim climax, the prepaid tions for the coup d'etal went forward without interruption, spurred onwards in recent weeks by the cuts in American aid to Vict Nam. THE tension must have been A all but unbearable in Ihe lasl fortnight or so. For by then Ngo Dinh Nhu of course knew that something was afoot, yet dared not strike preventive ly for fear of causing a counter strike; while the coup leaders of course knew of Nhu's knowl edge, yet neither dared nor de sired to turn back. So each side continued without flinching, like mere automata in the hard grip of fate, until the final road of lank artillery. This is a sad end. The fash ion, nowadays, is to forget the debt owed to Ngo Dinh Diem. Yet Diem alone had the guts to put down the gangster sets that the French had used as allies in the Indo-China War. And Diem alone had the sturd i ncss and determination that as sured South Viet Nam's sur vival in the first chaotic years. Without Diem, indeed, Saigon today would almost certainly be ruled from Hanoi. The Commu nists themselves for years ex pected South Viet Nam to fall to them automatically, like a ripe fruit. They only launched the present civil war when Diem left them no room (or doubt that their huppy expectations would never be realized. IN those early days, when this reporter was also in Saigon, Diem, the bravo nationalist, was the hero of the breast-boaters, and the target for the breast-beaters' indignation were the wicked French colonials, who then hated Diem. But as breast-beaters always need someone or something to be indignant about, and as the French faded from the scene and only Diem was left, the breast-beaters naturally turned on Diem at last. In truth, the breast-beaters played a major role in this tragedy, not least because they strongly influenced Ihe first American reaction, when the Communists finally gave the signal for a full-scale civil war. As a sample of the (utile twad dle talked in the U.S. Embassy in Saigon at that critical mo ment, it is only necessary to record one fact. When Ihe war began in bloodv earnest. President Diem decided to arm the civil guard, whose members have suffered more casualties by now than any oth er force fighting the Commu nists. Yet (or months on end. this decision of Diem's met with angry, obstinate American re sistance, on the singular ground that an armed police force did no conforr.-. :.',,k the best and MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop JO New York Herald Tribune Syndicate highest principles of Asian de mocracy. 1MIE recent tragedy was di- rnrllv rnntpH in lhat lime before President Kennedy im posed more order and realism on U.S. policy in Vict Nam. Ngo Dinh Nhu, in particular, was permanently warped by his memories of the earlier period. He could never take advantage of the new opportunity that was offered to him in 1961, because he could never quite believe the opportunity was real in view of what had gone before. In the conduct of the war, the team of Ambassador Frederick Nolt ing and Gen. Paul Harkins made great progress. But in the poll tics of Saigon, and in his deal ing with the United States, Nhu plunged onward from folly to folly, always dragging Diem be hind him. And so the end came at last for bolh Nhu and Diem the end which might well have been averted by more practical common sense at the outsol. The question now, it must be added, is whether practical common sense or the outcries of the breast-beaters are lo pre vail in Washington. As was un avoidable, the Diem regime has been supplanted by a military junta. Procuring efficient, hon est, energetic government from a military junta is not easy at the best of times. This difficult task will be ren dered all but impossible if Washington uses its vast lever age in Saigon to satisfy the breast-beaters, by seeking to stage a virtuous comedy of civil government. Creating a work able civil government in Vict Nam is simply not feasible in the midst of civil war. Let the war be won first, as it can be won, and let the Vietnamese settle their own political affairs thereafter. These are the prac tical rules to follow, whatever the breast-beaters may say. Communications No Sales Tax To Ihe Editor: It seems to me lhat the mandate, if there was one, of the Oct. 15 refer endum is being misinterpreted by those legislators advocating a sales tax. True, it is the people in the higher income brackets who hire the lobbyists to brain wash the legislators into again attempting this re gressive and unjust form of luxation, but it is the people in the opposite category who cast the majority of votes. There is every reason to be lieve that if a general sales tax is enacted it will again be re jected in referendum election, and the people should go farther by marking every legislative advocate of such a tax for elimination at the polls at the first opportunity. Above all things the legisla ture should not reduce the pay of legislators. For the first time in the history of the stale it is now possible to elect rep resentatives who arc independ ent of pressure by special in terests, since with the present pay scale it is possible (or an honest man to run for the ol fice without sacrificing his time or his honor. The great fault of the I!;:) tax program was attempting too much at one time. Taxes should have been gradually and intelligently increased over the last ten years as the cost of government increased in har mony with the increase in all other costs. Instead, prior ses sions of Ihe legislature rode the war surplus down to its last thin dime without attempting to compensate, and each session passed the buck on ahead The often expressed idea that a general sales tax will solve ! the lax problem for the fore- seeable future is an expression! OREGON 'Minds and Hearts1 of People Seen Key To Vietnamese Problems by Young Officer 3f PHIL NEWSOM UI'I Foreign News Analyst The small, brown-faced man wearing the insignia of a lieu tenant colonel in the South Vietnamese army turned from the military map before him and, with his pointer still in hand, told this correspondent: "If we get the people with us then this war is over." ' In his words there was frank criticism of the handling of the war effort by then President Ngo Dinh Diem, and that was one reason his name could not be used in Saigon dispatches. Critics of the regime did not last long in Diem's army. His name still cannot be used. As a director of South Viet Nam's psychc':;ical war fare unit, his identity would be of importance to the Commu nist Viet Cong. But from the beginning he was one of South Viet Nam's young officers who rec ognized that loyalties of the people eventually would prove more important than guns in the fight to save South Viet Nam from communism. 'Minds and hearts, he called it. The conversation with the colonel of psychological war fare took place a little more than a year ago. Dissatisfac tion with President Ngo Dinh Diem was mounting, along with pressure from the Commu nist Viet Cong. In the years 1954-61 united States aid to South Viet Nam had amounted to $2.5 billion and was to rise still farther so that it came to $1.5 million per day. The Viet Cong had forced abandonment of 1,000 class rooms and 600 health centers, 20 per cent of the country's total. In the course of a year, the coastal railway had been cut 500 times. In one of the greatest rice growing countries of the world, the government was forced to borrow rice to feed the people. The war in Viet Nam has been called an indigenous war because, regardless of U.S. ad visors on the one hand and Communist Russian and Chi nese aid on the other, it is be ing fought by Vietnamese. It also has been called two wars, one being fought by day and the other by night. Fighting on the side of the Communists have been some 25,000 regulars, aided by peasant militia of up to 200,000 and by intelligence supplied by perhaps a million others. The objectives of his psycho of ignorance or Intentional mis representation. State services to the people and the where withal! with which to pay for them has always been and will continue to be a problem for the self governing state and should be a subject for study by a permanent interim com mittee. Such a committee is possible and logical with the present pay scale of legislators. It is possible that a legisla tive session free from pressure by special interests could ob viate the need for new tax souices by closing the loopholes through which such special in-, terests avoid paying their just share of the income tax, but if a new form of taxation is found necessary, why not a "gross earnings" tax? This is one of the fairest forms of taxa tion since it is based on the ability to pay rather than of the necessity to spend, as is the sales tax, and it is one of the mrst difficult to avoid pay ing.

Overseas Trade To the Editor: Having read with a great deal of interest the heart-breaking cries of the big spenders, their crocodile tears at the mere thought of reduced spending, my heart really goes out to them. They recognize neither race, color or creed, Ihe aged, sick and infirm arc included in their money mad plans. They have no sympathy at all for the problems ui that forgotten clan of people: retired persons, many of whom must live and pay taxes on a yearly income less' than the $6iX) per month pocket change allowed our esteemed Governor over and above the almost $2,000 monthly salary.

DICKINSON, JR. WASHINGTON Society no longer buries the bodies of sui cides at a crossroads with a stake driven through the heart to pin down the ghost, a prac tice common in England as late as the 18th Century. But enough of the primitive horror of sui cide remains so that large num bers of people continue to think of self-destruction in terms of punishment, moral condemna tion, sin, insanity and coward ice. Because of the old attitudes, experts on the subject encounter great difficulty in spreading this message: The great majority of suicides and suicide attempts are the product of emotional states which are only temporary and which are remediable. This knowledge is crucial to a solving of what has become a public health problem of the first order. At least 20,000 Amer icans will take their own lives in the next 12 months, and 100,000 to 2SD0O0 others will make serious but unsuccessful attempts to do so. One eminent medical statistician estimates that possibly as many as two million individuals now living in the United States have tried at some time to commit suicide. Eleven of every 100,000 Amer icans ended their own lives last year a total of 20,890 persons. Among persons aged 20 to 35, suicide was the fourth leading cause of death, being outrank ed only by accidents, heart dis ease and cancer. For every two persons killed in automobile ac cidents, one commits suicide. For every homicide in this coun try, there are two suicides. Even these startling statistics are believed to understate the dimensions of the problem. Many patently suicidal deaths are certified as "accidental" or "natural" because of strong local taboos regarding self-destruction. The actual number of self-inflicted deaths each year, some experts think, may be twice or even three times the official total reported by the U.S. Public Health Service on the basis of death certificates. Investigating teams say they have encountered evas'on, de nial, concealment, and even di rect suppression of evidence of suicide by friends and relatives. Suicide notes may be deliberate ly destroyed. Letters may be written to a coroner protesting tem whereby they can trade person for person with foreign countries. Then when a group, politicians excepted naturally, reach retirement age, round them up and ship them over seas, preferably to the country from which their ancestors came. In return insist that refugees be young, husky and healthy, thereby they are in sured of regular taxes for the next 20 or 30 years and votes that shouldn't be too difficult to control. That way we would probably come under foreign aid so with our meager income it should be sufficient to exist on. If not, what's the difference? At least we wouldn't bo under foot over here and who would care anyway? Claude M. Hall, 2860 Placer ltd., Sunny Valley, Ore. Railway Progress To the Editor: In October railroads and their suppliers staged an impressive Railway progress Exposition in Chicago. It was an eyeopener to those who declare railroads obsolete. The motive-power revolution did not stop with the dicsel. A specialized car revolution stresses increased capacity and loadability. The wedding of rails and trucks in piggy-back serv ice combines the best features of both modes and releases high way space to private automo biles. Unitized trains, automat ic trains and railroading by computer demonstrate the un tapped potential of the Iron Horse. This potential is inhibited by vested interests in subsidized non-rail transport allied with political regulation empire build ers and those who would reduce . ., , . ...... railroads to a huge Vt PA Horse and let him run K. Fritz Schumacher (Former Santa Fc "Rail") 81 West Grand View Ave. Sierra Madre, Calif. promised the people land. The government, he believed, must give the people new lives, teach them their interests and how to protect them. Amnesty must be sincerely offered to Viet Cong fighters who come over to the govern ment side. And young men must be assured that a future in advance a possible ruling of suicide, such protests some times being accompanied by petitions from whole neighbor hoods. Superstitions In his classic work, "Suicide: A Social and Historical Study" (1938), Henry Romilly Fedden traced the prevalent attitude to ward suicide to primitive tribal superstitions concerning ghosts of the dead, especially ghosts of persons who had been mur dered. "Whereas the ghost of the murdered man bore malice only against his executioner, the ghost of the suicide was believ ed to harm society in general, and the latter was held to be indiscriminately and collective ly responsible for his death," Fedden wrote. Indeed, the prim itive suicide frequently was a revenge suicide in which the victim believed that his ghost would haunt and plague his enemies. Then only recourse for a community was to mutilate or destroy the corpse, so that Ihe risen ghost would be in capable of inflicting harm. It remained for the Christian church to attach the onus of sin to suicide, although Biblical scholars and others have found no specific anti-suicide teach ings in the Old Testament or the New Testament. Fedden be lieves that Saint Augustine's condemnation of suicide in the first quarter of the fifth cen tury was written in part in reac tion to excesses of suicide among members of some religi ous sects. These zealots appar ently thought of self-inflicted death as a good means of avoid ing worldly sin (which would result in perpetual punishment). By the end of the fifth century, suicide had become so tainted that not even the ascetic or martyr could take this way out with impunity. Complex Motivations Most psychiatrists agree that the conscious and unconscious motivations which lead a human being to the point of self destruction are complex and obscure. Psychological, physi ological, social, ethical, cultur al, economic and situational factors may all play a part m a single suicidal act. Dr. Joost A. M. Mecrloo is among those who pleads for recognition of an "infinite number of motiva tions" in suicide. Self-destruction, he says in "Suicide and Mass Suicide" :i962), repre sents not only tic wish to kill, the wish to be killed or the wish to die, but also "the secret belief in mystical rescue and revival; an urge lo make a magic offering to the gods; and many other motivations . . ." While the person who at tempts or completes suicide may. not be well in a psychi atric sense, only one of every five persons committing suicide is believed to be psychotic, or insane in the popular sense of the word. It is said that suicide is more preventable than any other major cause of death, but that both physicians and lay men need to become more aware of the danger signals. Researchers have shown that 75 per cent of ihe people who kill themselves give clear indi cation of their intention by ad vance word or deed. This is Ihe desperate "cry for help" that relatives and doctors ig nore only at their peril. Suicide prevention centers are springing up throughout the na tion to help such persons through their period of depres "Wilh Riiisia out of Ihe race, ne'll he first lo Ihe moon.

It meant that in the huts of the peasants, the picture of Communist leader Ho Chi Minh must come down and one o( democracy take its place. This was where Diem failed and what today constitutes one of the biggest jobs of the new government. sion. Their general success seems to have proven that most individuals who think about kill, ing themselves are suicidal for only a limited period of timo. If they are saved then, they can go on b lead useful, even happy, lives. Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris' (cl field Enterprises, Inc. THE END OF CRIME In the wake of the Valachl testimony before the Senate in vestigating committee, it was only to be expected that law enforcement officials would ask for more stringent measures and better tools to fight or ganized crime. But none of these new tools which include permitting wire tapping would be effective, except against the isolated criminal who is not protected by influential "connections." And he is not the main problem in our modern urban society. There are only two ways to get rid of organized crime, and neither will be acted upon by communities. The first is la eliminate all contributions lo political parties; the second is to double police salaries and re move the police depart m e n t from political influence. w The community ilsclf .should provide a budget for political campaigns, so lhat candidates and parlies are not dependent upon large contributions from dubious sources. This would be intiiiilcly cheaper in the long run than permitting rack eteers (o buy immunity through vast political dona lions under Ihe table. The second, and comple mentary, way of reducing ov canized crime is lo drop Iho thousands of useless and para sitic political workers from the chics' payrolls, and to use these additional funds to re cruil a higher type of polico candidate who is paid a wago commensurate with the dig nity, the importance ami the clanger of Ihe job. If political influence wcro removed from (he polico forces, and if racketeer influ ence were removed f r o nl the financial needs of politi cal parties during campaign years, organized crime would soon go out of business. It is axiomatic in knowledge able circles that organized gambling, prostitution, and sim ilar illegal operations could not exist for 24 hours in a town in which the police were incor ruptible and free from political influence. Nations like Great Britain, for example, have no "syndicate" problem becauso the police, the courts and tho political parties are not sleep ing together, as they so often are here. There are three kinds of crime: emotional, private, and organized. The first two are part of the human condition, and w will always have them, in great er or lesser degree. The third kind is a cancer that is peculiar to the modern urban structure, and can be cut out of the body politic. Bui not as long as tho body politic refuses to dcpoliti cize its administration of law enforcement and justice. . VI T4 1W fttt
