He died almost inevitably, it would seem in hindsight in an automobile crash. He was, and admitted he was, a terrible driver, and had a long series of accidents and traffic tickets to attest to it. It gave his fatal crash almost a kismet-like quality. From the Mail Tribune, Bob went to Port land where he became entertainment editor and columnist for the Oregonian. He was an almost immediate popular success. He made friends quickly, too, and was the subject of considerable written and broadcast comment in recent days. THE MOST perceptive, it seemed to us, was written by John Salisbury of KXL, and was printed in the Oregonian's Behind the Mike column. In part it said this about Bob: "Those who followed his career with The Oregonian since he started writing his column of criticism nearly three years ago, could trace the swift development of this young man, with a sharp wit, an incisive insight, and sometimes with the bitter pen of satire, Bob soon left his peers behind. . . . "Bob covered motion pictures, legitimate theater, and the night life of the city, and he called the shots as he saw them. This made him some enemies, but this is the cost of eontro- versy. . . . "He was not, I think, a terribly happy young man. He was moody and driven by the private demons, which at once gave brilliance to his writings but brought chaos to his per sonal life. ..." SOME readers of the Mail Tribune will un doubtedly recall the column Bob wrote for the regional page. It, too, was brittle and occasion ally brilliant, particularly when he let his wide ranging whimsy have its head. Neither of his two marriages brought lasting happiness to him or to his wives, and, while a skilled and loyal worker, he was erratic ana volatile. "'.'- But it was in no small ties which infused life and humor and vigor and spice into his writing. Oregon journalism is the poorer because a top-flight writer was a terrible driver. Ji. A. Buddha Day in Hawaii With the . possible exception of New York City, it is p rob a bile that the State of Hawaii had a .more widely diversified ethnic population than any other spot ori the globe. it nas native Hawanans, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, and Caucasians of many different ori gins. And they all get along together remarkably wen. ah are Americans. Some strains and tensions occur, of course. 1 hey do even in ethnically homogeneous popula tions, une cause or. occasional strain there, as elsewhere, arises from differing religions, of wincii many are lepieseiHea in nawan. e FN HAWAII, both Christmas and Good Friday 1 are legal holidays, on which state employes do not work, but for which they are naid. This costs the state government about a half million dollars per year. fcariy this year, State troduced a bill which would have abolished these two days as legal holidays. He did so on the grounds that the two days are celebrated solely because of their religious nature, and that it is unfair to tax the islands' dents to subsidize holidays which are nurelv of Christian origin. Also, probably tongue that April 8 be made a legal holiday, "Buddha Day," in celebration of the great religious leader reverea ny many Hawanans. , .

The result is that Christians have their two- stale-paid holidays. Buddhists have a non-paid "recognized" day. An article in Liberty magazine asks: "Has a minority religious group the same rights as the dominant religious group? Should civil legislation favor one religious culture above another? "Should Christians be expected to pay taxes to give a holiday to state employees on Buddha Day? On the other hand, should Buddhists be expected to pay taxes to give a holiday to state employees on Christian holy days? "If majority rule is held to be adequate reason for passing a law favoring one religious group, would Buddhists be Justi fied, if they become a majority in Hawaii, in passing laws favoring their faith? "If Christian observances are simply 'traditional' days in our national life, how many years will have to pass before Buddhist days will likewise be traditional and thus candidates for stale financial recognition? "And what of Senator Abe's argument that establishment of a Buddha Day would violate the constitutional separation of church and state in the same way (hat it is violated by establishment of Christmas and Good Friday? THE ARTICLE then concludes: "These quesdons have not yet been answered. But in a land becoming increasingly pluralistic, they must be. Maybe next year the island's Moslems can get Senator Abe to Intro duce a bill abolishing Sunday laws and forbidding the salt of certain Items on Friday. . . ." It is too easy for us to forget that each of us belongs to some minority. The Roman Catholic church, largest religious organization in this na tion, is a minority faith. No single Protestant denomination is in a majority. The largest single religious minority group in the nation is that which has no church affiliation whatsoever. With such a mixture, it behooves all of us to respect the rights and privileges and beliefs of those who belong to other minorities. Without such mutual respect and tolerance, no minority group, no individual, can be sure of the freedoms wa now Uk for granted. EL A. ' ' part these very quail Sen.

The faithful football loving public who wanted tickets showed their loyalty by keeping an all night Strictly Personal By Sydney J. Harris (e) Field Enterprises, Inc.1 PERSONAL PREJUDICES There is one infallible way of telling the difference between the righteous and the merely self-righteous people to the self-righteous, no punishment of the unrighteous seems excessive or too severe. We judge people more by their temperament than by their character; thus, we pre fer the weak and amiable to the .strong and crusty, for the former do not threaten our pretensions or puncture our poses. It is much easier to accept bad fortune philosophically than to refrain from ascribing our success to our virtues instead of to luck. Feelings can be communi cated, but ideas cannot: this is why it Is simple to arouse a crowd to an act of Irration al violence, but nearly Im possible to persuade even one man to change his basic views. To be caught between two worlds is the tragedy of some lives; as the elderly woman wistfully remarked in one of Lillian Hellman's plays: "I was always too good for the men who wanted me, and not good enough for the men I wanted." A happy person Is one who Is not Inclined to ask himself questions that are be yond his power to answer; this Is why most creativity, most inventions, most ad vances are made by unhap py persons. The lower orders who fail to to teach their children man ners don't do as much harm as the higher orders who are sat isfied if their children display good manners without any sub stance of good feeling beneath them: a surface courtesy that masks sullenness and unre sponsiveness can do more dam age to the later personality tt.in mere neglect of the ameni ties. It Is a grave fallacy to be lieve that looking into a mir ror discloses how we appear to others; the mirror reflects only what we want to see. or fear lo see, or think we see; It never reflects what It so swiftly and unerringly detect ed by even the most casual stranger: the ultimate expres sion of the soul, as formed and deformed by the passing years. Nothing, in a way, can be more narrowing than travel: when we are in a strange land, the presence of someone from our own neighborhood impels us to draw close to him, even though at home we would not want to be in his company more than a moment. If people knew what the true, "aeir" really was. then to be truly selfish would he the greatest of virtues, for It would mean doing only those things which augmented and beautified the true self, rath er than those things which 4tailnth and demean IL MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE.

However at the Roseburg game, and also at last year's regular season game at Grants Pass, you have only to look around and, lo and behold, you are sitting among a lot of people who sure were not in that early morning line at the high school. How did they get their tickets? I think every one will agree that each player should be en titled to two tickets for his parents. Let's say that accounts for 100 tickets. Why not make the remaining 232 available on a first come, first served basis? Perhaps our school officials have lost sight of just who is supporting the Medford High football team the average Joe that's willing to stand all night long in the rain, or the favored few who get their tick ets the easy way. There are lots of us who help ed build the new stadium who feel that there is no place for favoritism when it comes to the paying public. If there is, per haps we had better just let the favored citizens carry the load trom nere on out. Chuck Ward, . 405 Oak Grove Road, Medford Embalming Unnecessary To the Editor: A reoresenta- live of a local cemetery speak ing at a meeting of the Medford Chamber of Commerce Round table, was quoted by the Tribune as having stated that the Oregon law requires that a body be em balmed within 24 hours of the time of death. Evidently the sneaker shares the common, but erroneous, be lief that embalming is required by law. I know of no Oregon law that requires embalming at any time after death except in the case of deceased indigents. Jonn H.

WELL, back in October, he suggested that the United States should pull five of its six divisions out of Western Eu rope. The situation, he said, has changed since 1951, when he was sent to command NATO and asked for a strengthening of U. S. forces. He added: "Western European economies are now strong. They have great balances, many of them in gold, and it il time they were DOING . me: -- Alliance for Progress To Continue, Despite Disappointments, Difficulties PHIL MWSOM UPI roraifn News Analyst In Sao Paulo University's new recreation center the atti tude of assembled Latin Amer icans at the end of two years of the Alliance for Progress was pessimistic, if not hostile. For its part, the United States, which initiated the $20 billion program to aid the de velopment of Latin America and lift the living standards of its 200 million inhabitants, had lived up fully to its promises. In 27 months it had allocated $2.3 billion for projects ranging from roads to power projects, from thousands of homes and school rooms to hundreds of health clinics and from Food for Peace to construction of new industries. THE TWO EUROPES-n Yesterday, speaking of com' munism in Eastern Europe, I said that as the tensions have become relaxed because the fear of nuclear war is subsid ing, the discipline which holds together the eastern alliance has also become relaxed. It is necessary, however, to be cautious about drawing con clusions from this fact. The easiest mistake to make is to suppose that a tendency in one direction, say toward more in dividual freedom, will develop in a straight line until countries like Poland and Hungary, for example, have as much and the same kind of freedom which exists in this country. In actual fact, the line of de velopment is not straight, but zigzag, and while, on the whole. the direction' is away from the absolute totalitarian police state, this main trend has many forward and backward move ments, rather like the booms and recessions of the business cycle, . I became very much aware of this when I arrived in Poland after I had been in Hungary. Quite obviously, these two neighboring Communist coun tries are in strikingly different pnases oi tneir development. HUNGARY is buoyant with the exhilaration that comes from the opening up of a closed society. The apparatus of 'the ponce state and the apparatus of the Communist party are still there, and it is not thought to be safe to speak too frankly, except when walking in the open air. But the frontiers have been opened to tourists going both ways, and there has been, except in the case of Cardinal Mindszenty, a political amnesty A fair amount of fresh air from the outside world is making the Hungarians feel better. Coming into Warsaw after Budapest, one realizes quickly tnat, alter tne opening up, there is likely to be a pause. Since World War II, I have been twice before to Warsaw, most recently in 1958. Poland was then in the aftermath of a suc cessful defense of Polish auton omy against imperial and cen tralizing demands from Mos cow. At that time the atmos phere in Warsaw was buoyant as it is today in Budapest. It is now no longer so buoyant, and mere is something that mieht be described as a fog of de pression. MORE OF THEIR OWN WORK. PERSONALLY, this w r 1 1 e r agrees with General Eisen hower. At the end of the war, it was quite reasonable that we should leave large military forces in Western Europe. Our allies were bled weak. We were still STRONG. But the situation has changed. Western Europe has recovered from the strains of the war. Its economies are sound. Its industries are boom ing. Its population is GREATER THAN OURS. BUT we still furnish the bulk of the defensive strength of Western Europe. We have six divisions in West Germany, which is twice as many as any other NATO member. And back of our six divisions is our whole vast nuclear striking force. which is ready to go into action at a moment's notice. We still carry the bulk of the load of the defense of Western Europe. The cost of doing so is so great that it is upsetting our balance of payments and thus is weakening our monetary system. QUESTIONS: What do YOU think of it? Do you agree with General Clay? Or do you agree with General Eisenhower? Yet other elements, both in ternal and external among the 19 participating Latin Ameri can nations, contributed to an overall air of disappointment. When the Alliance for Pro gress came Into existence it had, for its goals besides economic development social reforms and peaceful evolution as opposed to violent revolu tion. Yet in two years it had seen military revolts in Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Limited tax reforms still left huge inequities between the very rich and the very poor. Land reform, with the notable exceptions of Venezuela, Mexi co and Bolivia, left much to be desired. In its early bloom, the Alli ance had hoped for an annual increase of 2.5 per cent in per capita income. In 1962, the actual increase ranged down ward from 1 per cent.

But, as one Commu nist dignitary admitted when I asked him about what had gone wrong, (here is a pause. The windows are not being opened wider. Indeed, they are being closed somewhat. For, said the Communist dignitary, the Poles "made such a big jump ahead in the late 1950s that now we must wait until the others catch up."

And, finally, falling prices for their raw materials had left many a Latin with the feeling that he was better off before the Alliance came into being. In Sao Paulo, one delegate gloomily predicted that unless the trend were reversed, the under-developed nations of the world would find themselves $20 billion in debt to the indus trialized nations by 1970. Especially disturbing to the United States was the stand taken by Brazilian President Joao Goulart, who attacked U.S. demands for internal re forms as interference in the in ternal affairs of nations and declared against new U. S. loans which only "weigh us down in endless poverty." "Trade not aid" soon be THE NIXON CANDIDACY NEW YORK After the last election, Sen. Barry Goldwater crisply described former Vice President Richard Nixon as a "worse appeaser than Neville Chamberlain." A day or so la ter, he was photographed warm ly embracing both Nixon and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller. But now his amiability is again wearing a bit thin. In tones of pained disillusion ment, speaking like a man who is not angry, only a little sick at heart, Goldwater has .said that for a while he' really be lieved Nixon's vociferous dis claimers of further Presiden tial ambitions. "I have to discount that now," he has added. "It's obvious as the day is long that something Is on the move with Mr. Nixon." THE shortest possible investi gation here in New York is enough to reveal that the aims of the former Vice President are one subject on which Gold water and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller are in fervent agreement. In the Rockefeller camp there is visible distaste for Nixon, whether as an alternative Re publican nominee or in any oth er capacity. The root cause of this distaste, ironically enougn, is also the root cause of Sen. Goldwater's low rating of the former Vice President. In 1960 Goldwater strongly pressed on Nixon his "South ern strategy." In 1960, too, in the famous Fifth Avenue com pact that both men signed, and in the resulting Republican platform, Rockefeller thought he had induced Nixon to adopt exactly the opposite strategy. In the event, Nixon followed neither strategy and thereby fell between two stools in the opinion of a good many wise acres. Like Goldwater, Rockefeller remembers that his advice was rejected in 1960, and like Gold water, he attributes the Ken nedy victory to this fact. Like Goldwater.

J. - not that much difference between came a slogan of the Sas rauio session. The Alliance for Progress did not die at Sao Paulo, but it was apparent that changes would have to be made. Out of it came agreement for establishment of a new inter American committee to coordi nate future requests for Alii ance loans. It would give Latin Americans a greater voice in the program, and would, it was hoped, help to popularize it among lukewarm popula tions. The United States promised also to press the Latin Ameri can cause in world trade coun cils. In the background and still unsolved were two thorny ques tions also involving the Alli ance. They were the attitude to be taken by the United States in the event Peru and Argen tina carry out their plan to take over U.S. oil interests. Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsep lo) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate Nixon's California-to-New York migration. Nixon will of course deny this reading of his purposes, Yet tha facts remain that the move was really essential, if he wished to do what he is now doing. His heavy defeat for the Cali fornia Governorship by the rela tively lack-lustre Pat Brown had left the Republican party in California in the approximate condition of a basket of enraged rattlesnakes. And a great many of the rattlesnakes were asking nothing better than an opportu nity to bite Nixon. t A compromise candidate who does not have pretty solid support in his own state is nor mally hamstrung from the out set. That would be Nixon's situ ation if he were still a Califor nian. As an adoptive New Yorker, however, his situation is quite different. No one can be surprised if Nixon lacks active, from-the-word-go support in Nelson Rockefeller's state. Further more, Nixon has found suppor ters of a kind here, even if Gov. Rockefeller is conspicu ously absent from their ranks. What the Republican' politic ians call the "old New York crowd" will almost certainly stick by Nelson Rockefeller as long as propriety and good man ners require them to do so. But it is a very good guess that men like former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, and the financial lead ers who work with Dewey, are) already thinking hard about where they can go if Rockefeller does not make the grade. And is is an equally good guess that they are thinking about going to Nixon. e ROCKEFELLER himself, be yond much doubt, will want to go somewhere else to Gov. William Scranton of Pennsyl vania, most likely. But if tha Rockefeller candidacy is al ready an obvious failure, his powers as Governor will have certain limits at the Republican convention. Rockefeller's powers will cer tainly extend far enough to inrow tne wew York delegation, With full imnart intn lha tact ditch platform fight against the Goldwater faction that Rock efeller is already planning. The interests of Sens. Keatins and Javits will reauire. the New Yorkers to take that road. It is far from certain, how ever, that Rockefeller's powers Will also extend far annnah tn swing his delegation to the sub stitute candidate of his choice, particularly if New York's Re publican elder statesmen think Nixon has a better chance than the man the Governor may pre fer.
