We sacrifice American lives by the hun dreds of thousands to put down Nazi tyranny, and still permit the existence of an American Nazi Party. Many people do not understand the meaning of the term Americanism. It should be stressed more and more until even the dimwits comprehend it. David Frisch P.O. Box 2292 White City, Ore. These are sentiments with which it is easy to concur. But a question arises: What do we DO about the Nazi Party, and the others who are a living denial of everything good in the American tra tion? THESE people, no matter what we may think of their views, are American citizens. Do we outlaw them? Take away their citiznship? Deprive them of their freedom of speech? What is Americanism, if it is not adher ence to the Constitution and its guarantees of freedom of speech and peaceable assembly? We may disagree with them, despise them, ostracize them. But as long as they do no more than make nuisances of themselves, how can we do more without violating the "Americanism" enunciated in the Constitution and in our laws and traditions? "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it," Jefferson wrote. Even outrageous opinions. E. A. Sky Hooks The possibility of using helicopters in log ging operations has been some time, but it hasn t yet. It will be next year, if a huge-and powerful helicopter, developed (at least in part) with logging in mind, is now under going tests for the Army, where it is carrying tanks and other types of cargo. Trial of the big machine for logging purposes is tentatively scheduled for mid-1964, following completion of the Army tests. MEANWHILE, another type of "sky hook" is ar't.iiiillv in lisp im nn nvnprimfmtul liucie Chester R. Matheson, a Vancouver, B. C, for estry engineer, recently demonstrated logging techniques using gas-filled balloons. "News print Facts," a trade thus : "The demonstration logging was done with conventional main-line and haulback and a donkey-engine winch. But instead of a spar tree or slccl spar as anchor for the line which transports the logs, two helium-filled balloons sup plied vertical lift. They remained 400 and But) feet, re spectively, over the logs as they carried them a half-mile down a hillside from stump to loading site." Matheson pointed out that balloons can be used to log a radius of bOO feet possible with a 'PHE balloons themselves are similar to the barrage balloons in use during the war. But Matheson plans to commission a specialist turn to develop a work-horse balloon, simple, strong, and with good aerodynamic qualities, specific ally for logging. Ihe article gave no logging, but pointed out roads costing up to $50,000 per mile in moun tainous country, the balloon, needing only a simple road, or even none, could quickly pay for itself. In addition, balloons and more-quickly-managed cables and chokers, and logs suffer less damage since they swing clear, and are not bumped over the ground as with spar yarding. Maybe, between the copters, we'll have that E. A. Dr. Gitzen The passing of Dr. G. A. Gitzen marks an end to an era in Juekson County. During the half-ecntury he practiced veter inary medicine, many miles were traveled on horseback or on foot.

His char U MEDFORD "It Is Later Than rf ,rl Strictly Personal By Sidney J, Harris (c) Field Enterprises. Inc. THE VALUE OF MONEY There is a kind of magic in the naming of a large sum of money, a sort of incantation that hypnotizes people into taking the name for the fact the way a child uses "a million dollars" to express some infinite and unattainable sum at the rainbow's end. I thought of this while overhearing two women in the booth next to me at lunch, who were talking about a television come dienne recently signed to a ID-year contract for $1,000,000 by a network. The women scemde to feel that this was a staggering sum to receive. It amounts (o SHKMIWI a year. If the performer receives this as straight salary (and not as capital gain), she will pay about half of it In Federal taxes, off the top. Another in per cent will go to her agent. Her lawyers will receive a substantial cut. Her personal manager must be paid out of this, as well as her publicity man. And, in most cases, comedians pay the writers of their material out of their own income. Out of the half remaining, then, she is lucky If she retains a half of that. Her personal entourage will include a maid, a hairdresser, a wardrobe supervisee Her living expenses, simply In maintain theatrical standards in New York, will be crushing. At the end of the year, unless she is able to supplement her income through personal appearances or other marginal activities, she is quite likely to be broke. For she is being paid In modem "paper" money, that sounds big in print, but lacks the real substance out of which profits are made. W 4 We are living in a paper economy. Salaries sound high, but they arc illusory, and still based ber from a quarter-century ago. heightened living expenses, and the shrinking power of the dollar, makes such figures almost meaningless, and always misleading. A man making $200 a week 20 years ago would have been able to accumulate more property and enne making $1,000,000 for the next 10 years. Money has only rela tive value, and no absolute value it is relative not only to time and place, but also to the needs and activities of the persons who cam it. A country doctor earning even $8,000 a year today may be relatively better off than an actress making 10 times as much in llollywuod or Manhattan. Absolute figures in money have as little significance as absolute temperatures (or 20 below zero in dry skiing country, as everyone 15 above zero in ihe damp and big number moves us all. Mr. Johnson Will Get Things Done By Arthur Hoppe WASHINGTON - It's very reassuring to see how highly everybody in Washington re gards our new President. Mr. Johnson. While they all had the greatest love and respect for Mr. Kennedy, they'll tell you, Mr. Johnson is really going to do much belter. Because Mr. Johnson "knows how to get things done." And thai, in Washington, is the high- j est possible tribute you can be stow. . For, as you know, getting things done in Washington isn't ' easy. It takes cunning, strategy, compromise, intrigue and de vious plotting (o get an in- i crease in your office's allotment of postage slumps. And as, everybody here spends all day at their desks trying desperately to get things done, they under-, slandably have the greatest es-1 teem for anybody who can get ! things done. So everybody here is saying that while Mr. Kennedy had , grace, brilliance, courage, w it J and all Ihe other qualities of great leadership, he "never did I quite understand the way to get ; things done" in Washington. For example, "He never real-, ly understiml Ihe legislative process. iMtr dul he quite comprehend the depth of inter departmental rivalries" i Hut Mr. Johnson. Ah! "He knows every nook and cranny , on Capitol Hill." "He knows where every bone in this town is buried." "He knows how to1 compromise when he has to " "He knows how to knock heads together when he must." i "He knows how to wheedle"! "He knows how to wheel and deal" "He knows how to gel things done!" i Personally, I don't ,2oubt it MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. You Think!" on standards we dimly remem The "bite" taken out by taxes, more savings than the comedi knows, is not nearly as cold as windy city. Hut the magic of the for a minute. I'm sure Mr Johnson will get things done. And it's very comforting. Of course, at the moment there seems to be some confusion as to precisely what Mr. Johnson's going to get done. But at least everybody here has confidence in him. The Southerners say happily that Mr. Johnson's going to be "more realistic" on civil rights; several Southern Democratic Senators are even planning to vote Democratic next year. And the Negro leaders here have announced they're backing Mr. Johnson to the hilt. Be cause "he knows how to get a strong civil rights bill through Congress." The liberals are already rub bing their hands. Because if there's anybody who can get .Medicare, federal aid to edu cation and Ihe various welfare programs passed, it's their Mr. Johnson. And the conservative business interests are already toting up their increased profits. Because, as everybody knows. Mr. John son is "more business-minded." So just the knowledge that Mr. Johnson knows how to get thinks done has made every body happy. Everybody in Washington is sure he'll make them a great leader. Which I'm sure he will. Of course, after listening to such talk for two weeks, 1 can't help but hope one small hope: I hope he'll make a great President for the rest of us. too.

An derson, I can asure you that I was writing from my own exper ience,, plus the experience of others, in my letter of Nov. 3. Mr. Anderson writes that tne health problem was not in the labs that were put out of busi ness, but he implies that due to improperly repaired dentures one can contract cancer of the mouth. When has it ever been proven that improper repairs are the sole cause of mouth can cer rather than the improper construction of the dentures in the first place? Since the state certified labs ten of. the multiple woes visit do not advertise and they take ; ed upon the land of the free and professional service only, how home of (he brave durj could the denture wearer have a choice of labs? Does Mr. E. T. Anderson own the Anderson dental lab in full or in part? Mr. Anderson also writes that there are a great many people who hate to pay a dentist. Wrong again, as most anyone is willing to pay for value received, but they do ob ject to having to pay for some thing of doubtful or no value. Mr. Anderson had no quarrel with the waiting time limit of one to three days for your den ture repairs. As to costs, he can not quote but he insists there is no office call charge. Just how can he be sure that there is no office call charge as he admits that he cannot quote costs? He surely knows what the Anderson lab charges, that is if he is the owner in part or in full. One point that Mr. Anderson wants to make is that any re pair that is made on dentures is almost sure to cause mouth can cers if the repair is not made in a stale certified lab. I still say that the ADA is more concerned with the question of who is going to get the almighty dollar from the denture wearers, rather than the issue of health and welfare. In my book Senate Bill 50 has refined racketeering to the point of respectability. John R. Schumpf Route 1. Box 312 Central Point, Ore.

I remember the Defiant Attitude and Tokyo was a somber one noteworthy chiefly for the de termination of Red China's angry leaders to convert their backward nation into a world power regardless of cost to the Chinese people. Red China's National People's Congress is a rubber stamp body which has met intrequent as Red China's problems have multiplied. But it draws together in Peking more than 1.003 delegates from the far reaches of China, Chinese as well as such minorities as Mongols, the Kazakhs and the Uighurs. And it sets the party line.

After a while, I casually inquired, "How many were in the race?" "Just two!" she replied, in nocently. Then, together realiz ing the implications of the state ment, we had a good laugh.
