Exercise in
The numbness caused
ing emotions of the terrible four days that shook
the world recedes, and
a more reasonable appraisal is possible.
Such an assessment was made easier, in oui
case, by the pause for Thanksgiving, a few days
away from the bustle of
long week end for rest,
This in turn allowed
cumulation of daily newspapers from Oregon
published last week,
thoughts and reactions
and columnists.
CEVERAL things are beginning to become clear.
First is the fact that few if any events
in the Nation s history have brought the sense
of immediate shock and. grief and frustration
as has the slaughter
(This was in part due to
broadcast media, which
most everyone to feel a
ticinalion.)
Second is the fact that President Kennedy's
place in history is assured, although it is too
soon to assess history's
be true greatness, or near-greatness cut off be
fore full fruition.
Almost no one, even
enemies and opponents, can gainsay the fact that
he brought a new style, a new sense of direction
and purpose, into our national life.
THIRD, there is widespread agreement that
John F. Kennedy was not slain solely by a
bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald, (if, in fact,
it was really him), but
greater or lesser degree, must bear some measure
of guilt for having permitted an increasing
climate of hatred, vengeance, violence and ex
tremes of political thought, wholly alien to our
tradition, to )ermeate our national life.
By suffering in silence the ravings of those
on the fringes of the American polity, each, in
that degree, contributed to that sick climate.
fourth, the nation
once .again, in seeing an orderly succession of
governmental leadership probably the longest
tradition of the peaceful and automatic transi
tion of power and authority of any government
in the world.
IF THERE can, this soon, to be an emerging
fniKnnmiii In stnr'rmrl-i.lmllrvbt tlmsn r'nlir
conclusions must stand
What of President Kennedy's actual accomplishments?
They were predominantly things of the spirit
and the tone of government, rather than actual
legislative or executive accomplishments.
There was the gaiety of performance, the
courage (as in the Cuban crisis), the sense of
moral responsibility too often lacking in high
places, the style and wit and intellect which he
lad himself and which he made a point to seek
out and honor, whether it was in a Robert Frost
or in a visit to the Mona Lisa.
A ND, AS Columnist Allen lloffard wrote from
Washington in the Portland Reporter:
"His total commitment was to the cause of human rights,
as demonstrated in his firm stands and eloquent appeals when
the forces of bigotry and hale threatened to overwhelm both
reason and the Constitution."
And lloffard added:
"Because his conduct in oflice so effectively laid In resl
one of Ihc outrageous arguments used against him by myopic
Protestants in the I960 campaign, Mr. Kennedy made another
contribution to his nation.
"The so-called 'religious issue' should never again he a
part of an American presidential campaign. He proved that
when Ihc President takes his solemn oalh of office, he means
every word of it."
(It should be said, too, that the new direc
tion given the Catholic Church by Pope John
Will during lUr. Kennedy's incumbency, and
also the "education in Catholicism" provided by
television coverage of the funeral rites, with
which many Americans had no familiarity, also
should contribute to this same end.)
pi.NALLY it can be noted that there is a gen-
oral consensus that the nation's leadership
has fallen into good hands in President Lyndon
Johnson. Ho is skilled in the ways of govern
ment and of politics. And this is 'to say much.
Also ho is, according to those who would
have an opportunity to know, a man with the
(pialities of a groat human being courage,
loyalty, humanity, humility, pride (no, the two
are not necessarily contradictions), patriotism,
toughness and determination. Once, when asked
to describe himself, President Johnson said:
"I am a free man. an American, a l ulled Slates Senator
and a Democrat, in thai order. I am also a liberal, a con
servative, a Texan, a rancher, a businessman, a consumer,
a parent, a voter, and nol as young as 1 used to be nor as
old as I expect to be and I am all (hose things in no
fixed order."

A jrood man, a man who was more universally
loved in death than he was in life, has been
ripped out of our national life. Another one, not
an unknown quantity, has taken his place.

WHO ELSE IS THERE?
AVON, Conn. Judging by
this state, it is far too early to
say as so many are now say
ing that the new political sit
uation in the country will block
the movement to make Sen.
Barry Goldwater the Republican
Presidential nominee.
Connecticut makes a particu
larly good test area, precisely
because of the tragic assassina
tion of President Kennedy has
revolutionized the entire out
look here. As will be recalled,
this state led the election night
list for Kennedy in I960, giving
him a majority above 90,000.
Once in the. wnile House,
moreover, he had gained even
more support here. Hence he
was universally expected to cflr-
rv Connecticut next time by up
to 200.000 voles, and perhaps
bv more. , , ,
WHILE President Kennedy
lived, therefore, no rational
Republican had the smallest
hope of beating Connecticut's
Ocmocatie. Senator, l nomas
Dodd, and the five Democratic
Representatives who are up for
re-election. Indeed, Connecti
cut's sole Republican member
of the House, Ahner Sibal, was
generally thought to be in grave
danger.
Even so, Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller seemed almost certain to
gather in Ihc Connecticut dele
gates to the Republican Conven
tion until he remarried.
Thereupon, however, former
Sen. Prescott Bush made the
first and Ihc most damaging
public allack on the Governor,
calling on him to refrain from
seeking the Presidential nomin
ation on moral grounds.
From that dav to this, no
significant Connecticut Republi
can has come into the open for
Rockefeller, although the Gov
ernors political agenl-in-cniei,
George Hinmnn, has been in
constant touch with various
leaders here. Meanwhile, the
Goldwater supporters were
making hay in Connecticut until
President Kennedy was assas
sinated. , , .

MEDFORU MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.
Matter
of Fact
By Joseph Alsop
lei New York Herald Tribune Syndltale
claimed. In each township (the
basic political unit in this state)
Goldwater organizations are al
ready being formed at the
grass - roots level. The object,
obviously, is to hog tie the Con
necticut Republican convention
long before it convenes, and
then to take the whole Connecti
cut delegation for Goldwater as
it was taken for Dwight D. Ei
senhower in 1952.
No effective obstacle to this
scheme was visible anywhere
prior to the loss of President
Kennedy. This was the case al
though the hot - eyed Goldwater
iles were in a decided minority
among Connecticut Republicans,
who generally lean to the pro
gressive side.
riHE PARTY as a whole was
A (and still is) split seven ways
to Sunday, principally by the
feud between the former and
present chairman, Edwin May
and Scarle Pinney. Besides be
ing divided among themselves,
even those Republicans who
were most certain Goldwater
would be poison in Connecticut
were also certain no one could
beat a Kennedy led ticket here.
Thus no effective opposition to
Goldwater coalesced anywhere.
Now, however, everything has
changed, or at least everything
ought to change. President
Johnson, while not unpopular,
has none of the strong, sure sup
port in Connecticut Kennedy
had. In the abstract, it appears
entirely possible that the loss
of Kennedy can swing Connecti
cut into the Republican column
in lillvl.
"Against Lyndon Johnson. I
think we can win here with any
one but Barry Goldwater," says
a Republican leader who wishes
to remain nameless, because he
thinks he may end by having
lo give formal support to the
conservative Republican hero.
"And with the right kind of
Presidential nominee, we ought
then lo have a chance lo pick
up Dodd's Senate seat and sev-
! oral House seats."
I
, T OTHER words, the Con
1 neclicut Republicans now
' have a powerful incentive
to seek a Presidential candidate
more attractive than Goldwater.
I The incentive is a packet of of
fices which the Democrats
seemed sure lo hold while Ken
nedy lived, but which may now
be up (or oralis.
1 Most Republicans agree wilh
Ihe man above - quoted, that
these offices will nol lie up for
grabs if Goldwater is Ihe Re
publican nominee. Against Gold
water, it is generally felt, John
son ought lo get something like
Ihe Connecticut majority thai
Kennedy got last time,
j Yet the Rockefeller remar
riage continues to discourage
parly support for him: and

Many Difficult Problems Face Italy's ,
New Split-Coalition 'Hybrid1 Government
Br
PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreirn News
Analyst
Italy's new center-left govern
ment is making its bow this
week.
It is a hybrid not totally sat
isfactory to anyone, the result
of a marriage of former politi
cal enemies with beliefs widely
divergent on subjects ranging
from wage and price control to
NATO.
But, conlrarily, its planners
hope it will provide a stability
generally lacking in 24 pre
vious Italian governments.
At its head is 47-ycar-old
Christian Democrat Aldo Moro
who as his party's secretary
has been more accustomed to
act as king-maker behind the
scenes.
At Moro's side as vice pre
mier is 72-year-old Socialist
Pietro Nenni, most of whose
stormy career has been spent
in opposition, much of it in al
liance with the Communists.
Their two parties, in coalition
with the smaller Social Demo-
ocrats and Republicans, make
up the new government.
It is a government with a
comfortable majority in Italy's
630-member chamber of depu
ties. But it is also a govern
ment of many compromises and
its existence will depend on the
shaky loyalities of the extreme
right within the Christian Dem
ocrats' and of the extreme left
within Nenni's badly split So
cialists. Nenni won approval of parti
cipation in the new govern
ment by a vote of 59-40 within
the party central committee.

DETERRENT
I was having lunch with three
friends, all of whom are heavy
cigarct smokers. The conversa
tion turned to crime and punish
ment, and all three felt quite
strongly that what we need is
stricter and more severe pun
ishment of criminals in this
country.
When asked why, they agreed
that it would act as a "deter
rent." If criminals knew (hat
they would be subjected to long
and harsh punishment, they in
sisted, such knowledge would
deter Ihem from committing or
repeating criminal activities.
I laughed loudly and impo
litely, and they turned on me
with annoyance. I pointed to the
cigarels we were all smoking
furiously. "Tell me." I said,
"docs what we know about ciga
ret smoking deter us?"
The plain lad nf the matter
Is that Ihc need to commit
crimes, like the need tn sus
tain oneself on tobacco, is not
rational. And it cannot easily
be deterred by rational con
siderations. Every cigarct ad
dict knows this.
Over the years, the "pun
ishment" for cigarct smoking
has heroine more severe.
W here once we only suspected
a health menace, now wc are
practically certain that heavy
smoking contributes to heart
disease, lung cancer, and oth
er grave illnesses.
Vet at the same time thai
nor knowledge of the penally

consumption of cigarets has
atso increased. More people

now than ever heforr, tlespile

Why should this hr so? On

there are two reasons: first,

Sorrow In England
To the Editor: As an ox-Med-fordite
now living back in Eng
land, I feel I must write and
tell you how grieved we all are
at the death of President Ken
nedy. Myself, I regard it as a deep
and personal loss. I remember
how I sat up all night on elec
tion night praying he would win,
even though I could not vote.
The people of England, or should
I say Britain, are numb with
shock and sorrow. Everywhere
I go I am met with comments
on the sheer senselessness of it.
We can't help thinking that all
was not done as it should have
been to protect the President.
The melodramatic has invaded
the tragedy and we have wit
nessed the shooting of the "al
leged" murderer. It seems un
real, as though we are watching
a stark Hollywood drama.
Even Mrs. Kennedy is not
allowed to grieve her beloved
husband in peace. Instead she
is barraged by TV cameras and
photographers' flash bulbs.
Here, I think restraint should
have been exercised and the
poor, dear woman allowed Ihe
privacy she needs at such a
time.
How are the "John Birchers"
going to react to all this? We
suspect that as soon as the first
pains are easing they will jump
in and make a hey day of the
fact that the President was
killed by a Communist. Will
people iistcn to them and let
themselves be fanned by their
hate and venom? Or will they
realize that President Kennedy
was respected and trusted by
the Russians and was looked
upon as someone who really did
want to end the never ending
cold war?
Oh! I could write hundreds
and hundreds of words because
my heart is full and I feel so
helpless. Before closing I will
say that the British are trying
to learn all they can about
President Johnson and are hope
ful that he will be running his
country on Ihe same lines as
President Kennedy.
1 am yours sincerely.

But an "escape clause" also

I On economic policy, the

Jesus's precept. He lived and

Once again we are confronted
with this malevolence. In our

Christmas Lighting
To the Editor: On the eve of
a gay holiday season we regret
to make this announcement to
all of our friends and neighbors.
The Medford Junior Chamber
of Commerce will not be able
to coordinate the Christmas
lighting this year for the city
of Medford.
We have in Ihc past coordi
nated the lighting contest which
was sponsored by a local utility
corporation. Word has just been
received that due to a budget
revision they have been forced
to drop the lighting project
throughout their system. With
out the funds normally supplied
for the procuring advertising,
printing and other expenses we
will be unable to carry out the
projecl as pianned. Due to th
in receiving tne in
formation of their withdrawal
from the project, we have not
been able to find another spon
sor. We wish to urge all of our
friends who have participated

Ihe Jaycccs will provide a list
tinn in this matter.

Technocracy
To the Editor: America is in
Ihe midst of a struggle to ful
fill its social destiny a des-
; luiue apamy or active assls-

Only Americans under Amer
ican leadership can build the
New America. No importations
of European social philosophy
communism, socialism, fas-
f'sm; clericalism, or any other
ism can he permuted tn
retard America's progress. A
new technique of social oper
ation is rcauired. North Amer-
ica alone has the tools and the
trained men (or this technique.
Technocracy lays the Issue

people. No one of us can escape
me responsiouuy.
