Bob Walters
Those of us who were on the Mail Tribune
news staff during the year or so that Bob Walters
was our regional editor were saddened by his
death last week.
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. , .

nizing" April 8 as Buddha Day, without making
it a legal holiday, passed.
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.

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

vigil at the school, waiting for
the window to open at 7 a.m.
You almost always see the
same faithful fans lined up each
year, and the tickets are gone
in a hurry. 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

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.

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.

Poland is not going back to
Stalinism. 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."
THE man who said that is a

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

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. MirhM.. .... t!.l-- .L i.
