It has disagreed occasions, but has predicated its continued sup port on the theory that than wrong, and in most stands on principle. Occasionally the principle in question has been difficult to discern, but we have been will ing to give him the benefit of the doubt. "WER the years, however, our puzzlement has w increased. So have ator's usually beinir richt. More and more often we have found his position and ours diametrical ly opposed. He was wrong, we with the late ben. Richard L. Neuberger a teuci which ended only with Sen. Neuberger's death. He was and occasionally still is wrong in the bitter violence with who Question his actions He was wrong, in our forceful opposition to eign aid bill a bill which was far from perfect, admittedly, but one which would need extensive work to improve at a juncture when time is of the essence. CINALLY, he was and sidered opinion, proposed Orerron Dunes This measure, the brain-child of the late Sen. Neuberger, has been carried forward by his widow, Sen. Maurine Neuberger. It has been extensively modified and amended along the lines suggested by Rep. Robert B. Duncan so that now most of the legitimate objections to it have been met. Sen. Morse's objections have been based, ostensibly, on his opposition to the provision per mitting the condemnation of land for the pro posed area. Hut at most, only some 15 properties are involved in the amended bill, and the owners of these have been given extensive privileges, including th right of life-occupancy. TOO, IT HAS been shown over the years that the right of eminent domain has been used carefully and judiciously by the National Park Service. But without it, the Park Service is almost powerless to acquire properties it deems essen tial for park purposes. Still, on this principle (one is tempted to use the word "pretext"), Sen. Morse remains un shaken in his opposition to the bill. How he justifies this position when so much that would benefit the nation economically at stake, we must leave to the Senator's con science. We would be better able to understand his position if it were based simply on opposition to parks, but he has in the past claimed the title of "conservationist" present position. GREAT deliberative body such as the United States Senate needs its mavericks, its independents, its consciences. And in the past we have admired Morse intensely tor tnese qualities, and for the courage to stand by his convictions, no matter what they might be, in the face of bitter opposition and criticism. Yet, when in instance after instance we Unci his position in basic disagreement with ours, and often for reasons we find either trivial or almost beside the point, how can further support be justified ? When politics is defined as "the art of the possible," when adamant positions lead only to impossibility, frustration and lack of accomplish ment, what is to be said of a vaunted but futile "independence"? SENATOR MORSE has a brilliant and incisive mind. He has a sneaking ability second to none in the Senate. He is a master of the parliamentary maneuvers which play so large a role in legislative progress or lack thereof. He has a wealth of experience, both in and out of government. He can almost persuade one that black is white and white black, and, when so moved, can almost charm a bird out of a tree. Why, with all these things going for him, he chooses the role of the obstructionist in a Senate already cluttered with obstructions, and the role of the maverick in a Senate which desperately needs cooperation to get the program to which Morse gives lip service going again, we do not know. It is, as the King of Siam confesses, a puzzle ment. Greatness lias beckoned to Wayne Morse, but he has chosen to turn his back upon it. E. A. Compulsory Godliness Justice Robert Jackson, a member of the 1). S. Supreme Court until 1954, wrote a dis senting opinion in Zorach vs. Clauson, having to do with religion in the schools, and put in a nutshell the way many people feel. He said : "The day that this country ceases to be free for ir religion it will cease to be Iree for religion except for the sect that can win political power . . , We start down a rough road when we begin to mix compulsory public education with compulsory godliness." Freedom of religion must include freedom from religion if it is to mean anything at all ex cept a competition between sects and creeds. E. A. His Back supported Sen.

By his agreement to give sen. Harry F. Byrd an advance peck at the 1964 budget, the Presi dent has persuaded the reluct ant Virginian to accelerate the Senate Finance Committee's languid contemplation of the tax reduction bill. If all goes well, therefore, the committee major ity favoring the bill will finally get the chance to send it to the Senate floor early in January. Thus tiie odds are now quite strong that the tax bill will be come law at least two months earlier than anyone had previ ously hoped or thought possible. And this prospect of much ear lier action on the tax bill is a real plum, for which everyone ought to be thankful. WHE plum-plucking was only J- nnssiblo. however, because President Johnson has also had to swallow a bitter pill. Begin ning with his admirable speech to the ioint session of Congress, the new President has gone all out to get the House and Sen ate votes on the civil rights bill within a reasonable time. But in this he seems to have failed. Preciselv because the civil rights bill is unlikely to reach the Senate until late in January, if by that time, there is a time gap for Senate action on the tax bill if Sen. Byrd keeps his prom ise. But this is an inadequate consolation for the delay of the civil rights bill, which President Johnson fears will never pass the Senate at all if it gels there later than Feb. 1. The cause of the delay, of course, is Hie most powerful and least endearing of all the power ful and unendcaring Congres sional anachronisms, the chair man of the House Rules Com mittee, Rep. Howard Smith of Virginia. CJMITH means to sit on the civil k-5 rights bill as long as possi ble. And his two constant allies the House Republican leader Rep. Charles llallcck of Indiana and the senior Republican Rules Committee member. Hep. Clar ence Brown of Ohio, do not mean to obstruct Smith's ob structionism. Even on the House Rules Com mittee, which is not normally noted (or its progressivisnw there is a majority for the civil rights bill. Halleck and Blown agreed with Rep. Smith that they will not interfere with his "degenerate and furtive filibus ter," as Walter Lippmann has accurately described this kind of purposeful delay in committee. But if and when the bill comes to a committee vote, all the Re publican members will vote for it. This will provide a sure ma jority. A petition to discharge the Rules Committee and bring the civil rights bill to Hie House Floor has meanwhile been pre sented by Reps. Emmanuel Ccl ler of New York and Richard Rolling of Missouri. President Johnson has ordered full White House support (or the petition. BUT this is a pretty hopeless tactic, (or 218 members' names arc needed to pry the civil rights bill (rem the antique talons of Rep. Smith. With no Southerners to help, the Demo crats can hardly muster more than ISO petition signers. Among the Republicans, Rep. John Lindsay ol New York has been talking bravely of collect ing 60 signatures which would be more than enough. But if Lindsay can do this against the opposition of Republican leader MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, -rm pw Matter of Fact Ey Joseph Alsop lc) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate Halleck, it will be the biggest surprise in recent Congressional history. Finally, if and when the civil rights bill reaches the Senate, it will of course touch off a vicious and obstinate filibuster. It can hardly pass the Senate unless cloture is voted. On this point the Senate Republican leader has told President Johnson what he told President Kennedy, that he is "for seven-eights of the bill." Being translated, this means that most of the Republicans will support cloture in the end. But they will only do so in the end, after a fruitless waste of many weeks to give the filibustcrers time to make a show. V WORSE still, the eighth of the bill which Dirksen and the other middle-ground Republi cans do not favor includes the sections on public accomoda tions and the Fair Employment Practices Commission. These sections may have to be jetti soned or gravely diluted in order to secure cloture. The public accomodations sec 1 1 o n, particularly, has mean while become a symbol and touchstone of white America's willingness to accord equal rights to Negro America. Thus there is considerable danger that even after the interminable, needless, and inexcusable de lays now in prospect, a satisfac tory civil rights bill will not be voted. If this sort of thing goes on much longer, there will also be considerable danger of a nation wide revolt against the persist ent and increasing Congression al abuse of the legislative pow er, which is reaching the stage of ugly parody. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS On Thanksgiving Day, s l x davs after the assassination of President Kennedy, President Johnson announced that Cape Canaveral, site of America's principal missile center, had been renamed Cape Kennedy in honor of the fourth American President to be struck down by an assassin. It was, of course, a worthy thought, but it wasn't received with enthusiasm by the people of the area, who protested that the name was centuries old and should remain as it had been since the early beginning of American history. They pointed out that the name had been given to the cape by Spanish navigators who saw it first some four centuries ago. The word Canaveral means a field of reeds or cane. Pre sumably the name itself is not particularly significant, but the (act that (or some 400 years it has borne the name applied to it by the first white men to sec it is significant to them. They suggested that naming the missile center from which, among other things, our earth circling astronauts have been launched would meet with their complete approval, but they couldn't go along happily with changing the name of the cape. WITH deep respect lor the " President who was struck down, I think we of Southern Oregon can understand and sympathize with the feelings of the people of the Canaveral area. Suppose it had been proposed to change the name of Klamath lake to Lake Kennedy. It would have been an honor, to be sure.

The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Appease To the Editor: In regard to Mr. Crews' letter of MT 12-1-63. As a sane, informed person I do advocate a different course from what Mr. Crews and the Communists label "coexist ence." I discuss the adjective "peaceful" since Mr. Crews def inition and the Communist def inition of that word is as dif ferent as night is to day. Coex istance to the Communist means we coexist, while they wage a subversive battle for the de struction of freedom. With the help of people like Mr. Crews and Mr. Jenny, they hope to impart a feeling of well-being in the world which does not exist. My program would be to realize that we are really at war with the Communistic system and refrain from dig ging our own grave by further ing their goal of world domina tion by selling to them and dealing in treaties with them, as if they were really honor able men who truly desired peace. I absolutely reject Mr. Crews' supposition that the alternative to coexistance is nuclear war. That is like equating a dieting program to death from starva tion. Obviously Mr. Crews has a little knowledge of nuclear war and as everybody knows a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Really what he is advo cating is appease and appease. Then when we can appease no more, surrender. Mr. Crews calls Mr. Weaver uninformed, yet reveals a deep er ignorance by wishing to edu cate the Communists. To edu cate a dog one must know more than the dog, also one must know more than the Communist which Mr. Crews does not or else he would know that their progress toward world domin ation is not going to be .halted by any negotiating, nice nellies. Can he really be so naive as to believe theirs is a better system? Does freedom actually mean so little to Mr. Crews that he is willing to bargain away what has been purchased by the blood of thousands of Americans? Those who are not willing to defend freedom are not worthy of it. As for his accusing Mr. Weav er of demanding Russian or American lives, freedom is not ath Lake that he was found by Lieutenant Gillespie and re ceived the message that sent him to Sonoma to raise the Bear Flag and proclaim the Cali fornia Republic. It would have been a shock to us to give up the name Klamath. A ND so it would have been it " it had been proposed to change the name of the Rogue river to Kennedy river. The origins o( the word Rogue are lost in history. There is a tradition that it was named by some early French explorer, who saw it when its flood waters were stained by the red dish soil of the hills in which it has its source. Rouge is a French word meaning red. In the course of time, the name was twisted around to Rogue. But Rogue it is, and Rogue it has been since the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary.

In South Viet Nam, the young generals who took over after the overthrow of the Ngo Dinh Diem government, are pursuing the war against the Communist Viet Cong with greater vigor. Out of 17,500 American troops in South Viet Nam, 1,000 are expected home in time for the new year. Beautiful and sophisticated Saigon has regained its gaiety, the bistros are filled, though guarded against a surprise Communist grenade, and tiny Vietnamese women in their attained without the sacrifice of men willing to die for what they believe. Mr. Weaver, like ail honest Americans, is willing to stand up for his convictions and if necessary to die for them. "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." Freedom will remain alive only as long as those who possess it, value it over life itself. "When freedom fails. Everybody loses, the good men rot in jails, And those who cried appease, appease, Are hung by those they tried to please." James K. Shafer Route 2, Box 210X Medford. Gun Registration To the Editor: I was disap pointed to learn you favored firearms registration as you ex pressed it in your recent editorial "Firearms Regulation." Because you wrote with good intent, let me show why so many gun owners oppose such a proposal. Registration would actually discourage reputable citizens from owning guns. In plain lan guage, the hundreds of thousands of guns in our state, not count ing the staggering number throughout the nation, could not be registered without extra tax es or fees to finance the ma chinery and personnel to man age such a program. Further, because Americans are people who like to move, registration would have to be done periodically and whenever ownership changed the transfer of registration would be re quired. Because, . like automobiles, most weapons used by criminals are stolen, I criminal would be more likely to use a weapon registered to someone else or one not registered at all. In recent years we hear more and. more of such groups re ferred to as leftist, rightist and others here in America and abroad. I think it is time for our lawmakers to remember many of these groups don't like us. National firearms registra tion here could be a useful tool for such groups. Mail order guns to juveniles and irresponsible people is one thing, but required gun registra tion is chipping away at some of the prized heritage we should save for our children to enjoy. In place of anything as in effective as registration I would suggest making the theft of a firearm a major offense rather than a minor one. Second, a conviction of armed robbery or a crime of violence while armed to carry a manda tory life sentence. I do not believe this too strict. While this would not prevent such crimes, it would certainly pre vent repetition. We pay law enforcement agents to risk their lives to bring these criminals to justice only to have them released after a short sentence. Let's punish those who abuse the right to own a gun. not penalize repu table gun owners. William N. Redhead 2449 Obispo Dr. Medford. Technocracy To the Editor: The United States is advancing rapidly into a national economy in which there will not be enough jobs of the conventional kind to go around. The acceleration of tech nology is responsible. So many people will lose their jobs be cause of technological displace ment of man-hours with kilowatt-hours that the total wages will not be enough to buy back the products of industry. A so cial and political crisis will be the result. "Automation" is the word which has been applied to the technological process which is most responsible for the change. j So, a number of high-cost sur- , lem was Doing recognized and : something was being done about j it. Actually, the problem has : been known for more than 40 1 years and it is fully realized bright silken garments pedal through the city's tree - lined streets. It's as if, beginning at the city's outskirts, there were no war. And that perhaps is the source of some of the disquiet. The Diem regime, in its own way, also fought hard against the Communists but failed to win the people. After the harsh rule of Diem and his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, in Saigon at least, the new military regime has the people's support. But whether that support can be translated into an all out that very little can be done about it within the social pos tulates of the price system. Technocracy arose as the an swer to automation long before automation was heard of by that name. The growing trend toward technological displace ment of man-hours of employ ment was recognized and its so cial effects analyzed and pro jected prior to 1920. At no time since then has there been any question in responsible quarters about what was happening and what the eventual outcome would be. Paul Tunnison 2081 Vine St. Grants Pass, Ore.

"REASONS" FOR PREJUDICE There is a story about a man who accosted a wealthier friend and asked for a loan of a hundred dollars. "Can't do it," said the friend, "because my mother-in-law is visiting us right now." The man was puzzled. "What has that got to do with lending me the money?" he asked. "Nothing at all," replied the friend, "but when you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another." I thought of this recently when I heard someone holding forth on the reasons he doesn't care for Negroes they are shiftless, they lack ambition, they won't accept responsibility, they commit many crimes, they don't even help one another, and they are simply unintelligent. This same man, I happen to know, doesn't care much for Jews, either. And what do you suppose his "reasons" are? The Jews are too ambitious, they stick together and help each other too much, they are too clever and study too hard and get the best grades and run the big businesses and the most pros perous law offices and the most flourishing medical practices. The very opposite traits that prejudice him against the Negro prejudice him against the Jews. One group reacts to discrimi nation In one way; another in another; and he objects to both reactions. Many of the things that are said about Negroes and Jews are false: some of the things are true. But what is significant is that if yon don't want to accept somebody, one excuse is as good as another. The objective facts don't matter, and the reasons are never as "reasonable" as we like to think they are, It is Interesting that, for a long time, the Americans as a group were talked about by Europeans just as we talk about our own minority groups. Even up to modern times, the educated elite among Europeans dismissed the Americans as arrogant, crude, barbarous, boastful, greedily materialistic, and vulgarly ostentatious in their habits and goals. Many of the charges were true, but the Europeans failed to recognize the historical and cultural reasons (or such behavior. AU they knew was that the Americans were a di((erent breed, and their very difference was an o((ense to Old World standards. They both resented and envied us, and so they used the same vituperation that older and more settled communities have always used against the newcomer and the outlander. The ancient Greeks said the same things about the Romans. If you tell a child long enough that he is unattractive and un desirable, he comes to believe it despite himself, and begins to react in an extreme manner. The real tragedy of prejudice and discrimination is that the person (or the group) turns into a caricature of himself. "You'd think, with the easing see less of that:" Asia national effort against the Viet Cong is another matter. More and more it is being re called that in their 10 year effort to hold Indo China, the French won every battle but the last one. And the United States' own experience in Laos and in South Viet Nam all too often has seemed to demonstrate that only the disciplined and indoc trinated Communists feel a real reason to fight, and that a na tional will is lacking. In the end, neither aid nor military success will win the battle for Southeast Asia with out accompanying political and psychological determination of the people themselves. And that is the field in which the new military regime must prove itself. Other events give reason for disquiet over the future of Southeast Asia. In Pnompenh, capital of Cam bodia, 200 American advis ers are getting out on orders of Cambodia's elected chief of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who has cancelled the Ameri can aid program which has been running at $30 million a year. Sihanouk believes the war against the Viet Cong already is lost and that he must pre pare his country for a neutral ity acceptable to Red China. In neighboring Laos, pro Communist forces control two thirds of the country. In Vientiane, its capital, tha fifth political assassination of a government official this year demonstrated that the country still is far from achieving tha neutrality decreed for it by tha major powers at Geneva. The news is not all bad. The Communists are suffering los ses and the cost of aiding tha Communist effort in the South is weighing heavily upon tha Reds in North Viet Nam. President Johnson has reaf firmed that the United States will continue its efforts in South Viet Nam. It is a decision which may have to be reaf firmed again and again in tha vears ahead. &) ot East-West tensions, jon'4 V fix i n
