DECEMBER 2T, 1SB3 The O&C The administration of the O&C lands of west ern Oregon, it would appear, is about to enter a new phase. An abbreviated history of these lands can help in understanding their unique status and unique problems. Originally part of the public domain, they were granted to the Oregon and California rail road as an incentive to connect Portland and San Francisco by rail. They consisted of alternate sec tions in a checkboard pattern located roughly 20 miles on each side of the railroad right of way. rPHE TERMS of the grant were violated by the A railroad, and the lands were "revested" to the federal government. But, since originally they were to have been privately owned, taxpaying lands, the federal government recognized the rights of the counties to income from the lands. They are now administered by the federal government, under a sort of "trust" arrangement, with 25 per cent of the income from the lands go ing to the government, ostensibly to pay the costs of administration. The other 75 per cent of the income was allo cated to the counties. These include 17 west of the Cascades, plus Klamath county. Incorporated into the O&C lands are those granted for the construction of the old Coos Bay Wagon Road, which similarly were revested. , COR MANY years, the lands lay largely idle. But, particularly since World War II, they have become increasingly valuable, and the rev enues have mounted into the mililons of dollars. The income from them has become vita! to the counties involved, permitting a lower level of local property taxation. But the counties have not been content just to sit and accept the funds due them. They have taken the enlightened attitude that investment in development of the lands will pay dividends in the long run. Thus they voluntarily relinquished one-third of their share of the income from the kinds (or one-quarter of the total income), first for access road construction, and more recently for reforestation and recreational development. As a result of this plowing back of funds, the O&C lands are among the most intensively man aged of any forest lands anywhere in the nation. rpHERE WAS a time when the O&C admin istration (handled by the Bureau of Land Management) was concerned almost wholly with road construction and timber sales. But today the administration is engaged in the whole gamut of management and silvicultural practices, designed to produce the best possible forests for the future, and for uses ranging from lumber production to watershed protection and recreational use. Because of this, the now engaged in some hard introspective thinking to this effect: "Where do we go now? And how do we get there?" 70R ONE tiling, it has been proposed for study that the O&C move in the direction of ranger .'.'.ilriels (similar to those now used by the LJ. S. Forest Service), to put one man in charge 01 a speciiic area, unis increasing nis lamiuarity with it, and placing responsibility for it directly on him. At present, O&C foresters work out of a dis trict office. While this has certain advantages, it also has disadvantages which, in the minds of many, outweigh the advantages. The possibility of consolidating sonic of the checkerboard ownership, through exchanges, is being explored. In addition, the responsible federal officials arc seeking long-range goals, and a more clearly- ,.,: ,.f nn'oiinicloiinni v v' vii i i,'m i iv. v. i I , . , i ii :ll iiiiutiiQ- Oivuoii s greatest assets; eertamlv the greatest single asset for j IVrsistent efforts to f t' I 1 1 . 1 1 1 ckvv. lantis nave uceu ' continue to be made.

MEDFORD "Ai A Matter Of Fact, I Have Several Idea On The Subject" Strictly Personal By Sidney J. Harris (c) Held Entcrprlsei. Ine. COURTESY AS THERAPY A friend was driving me to the airport recently and I com mented on his exquisite road courtesy. He was almost courtly in his altitude toward other motorisls, and 1 asked him the reason. "It's my own private form of best and cheapest way I know to me feel like a good scout." "How does that work?" I allogethcr saintly driving habits "Well," he said, "most motorisls are so mean and miserable to one another that when they come pxioss someone who treats them with benevolence and courtesy, they practically break their necks nodding, and smiling and waving. "I'll start home from work in the rush hour," he con tinued, "anil inside of ten minutes I've renewed my human juices. Motorisls are absolutely flabbergasted when I let them turn ahead of me, or wave them on. or show In any w ay that I'm not competing as the fastest gun in the West." "You just have a nice nature," I commented with some envy. "Not at all," lie answered. "I can he just as selfish and pig-headed as anyone else. Only the traffic thing got so bad I decided the only way to heat It short of selling my car was to turn the other tender, as it were, and put the Golden Rule Into practice in a small way. "And whatever the moral values arc," he went on, "the psychological reward Is tremendous. I drive home like a prince everyone is smiling at me and waving thanks and some motorists look as if they'd like to get out of their cars and kiss my feet Just for being decent to them." "Don't you ever gel taken advantage of that way?" I inquired. "That's the surprising thing about it," he said. "My courtesy makes other drivers more courteous at least for the time being. They suddenly seem to realize with a shock that they're behaving behind the wheel as they never would in any facc-to-face situa tion, and it seems to humanize them again quite spontaneously." "What if every motorist acted as you did?" I observed cyni cally. "Then most of your pleasure would evaporate, . because you'd no longer be the Prince of Peace, but just another ordinary driver." "When that great day comes," he smiled, "we'll all be so good that we won't need to got pleasure from doing good. But don't idle your motor until then, my friend."

OREGON African Students1 Demonstration Against Discrimination Embarrassment To Russia By PHIL NEWSOM UP1 Foreign News Analyst The violent demonstration of African students against racial discrimination in the Soviet Union was an embarrassment THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT WASHINGTON - The city is thickly blanketed with soft, cot tony snow, which magically transforms the dreariest back streets into subjects for a Jap anese screen painter. "Well, people told you, as though taking credit for a personal success, "it's a white Christmas after all." For a great many people, how ever, it was a dark Christmas, still overshadowed by the mem ory of the President's death, and the dreadful hour when the news came through from Dallas, and the slow beat of the muffled drums, and all the old great men walking behind the caisson that bore this young man to Ar lington's autumnal hillside. Perhaps it is foolish to look backwards any longer, and to reflect upon this loss that made the whole world weep. Yet Christmas is not just a season of gew-gaw tinsel, and unwant ed presents, and ritual overeat ing, and trcc-cnchantcd children, and tree-exhausted adults. CHRISTMAS is also a good time to think about the past and future better than the New Year, in truth, for this day celebrates a unique beginning that has hrough light and truth to this world of ours for close on two thousand years. And if we now think about our own American past, and consider the American future, wilh all its dreadful hazards and incompar able opportunities, we find some thing both curious and comfort ing. We find, in fact, that from the simple, classic era of the found ers of our republic, down to our own complex and dangerous times, America has always had a special need for a model or exemplar. Both history and recent experi ence indicate that France tends to require a ruler. The British need is met by their monarchy, sometimes in ways Americans find hard to understand. But here in (he United States, the need is for a man about whom fathers will say to sons, and school principals will urge grad uating classes: "Be like him!" THESE instructions, so hope- fullv uttered, are never more than half successful in the best i of cases. For the simple truth is that the model or exemplar is alreadv at least obsolescent I by the time the instructions be - gin to be given.

It led the Soviet news agency Tass to warn that "anyone who does not want to abide by (our rules and laws) is free to leave our country at any time." Matter of Fact By Joseph Alsop jfc) New York Herald Tribune fijyndlwlc no longer enough to remember the great traditions of the American past; it is necessary, nowadays, to bring courage, and energy, and good sense, and above all, an open mind, to the unending effort to meet the wholly novel challenges of the world present. JUST this was done by the " President we have lost, who was also the first American President horn in this century. His memory requires no fur ther eulogy. Now that he is gone, even his enemies recog nize that he was brave, and generous, and humane, and wise beyond his too few years. What matters now is that with all these olher qualities. he was also, in a supreme de gree, a man ol his own time of our lime, which had long lacked a model or exemplar near enough and real enough and good enough to set a style and point a direction. This mu.h he has left to us, as an extra present under every Christmas tree, as it were. It is no small thing, either. It is something to give thanks for, in these last days of "the year the President died." (as most peo ple win remember 1 963 ) , just as thanks should also be given that, even in the turmoil and triumph of Los Angeles three years ago, this man thought of his country when he saw to his own succession.

His an - swer of Dec. 22 is disappointing. He mistakenly asserts that my "liberal aims and Commu - mat guais coincide, how mucn it would simplify the problem. and how fortunate for the world ! it would be. if there were a i shadow of truth in this slale- 1 ment. He mistakenly asserts that the brotherhood of man which 1 desire (and which Christ ' sought to illustrate in the par- aoie ol ine good Samaritan) can only he achieved bv force!

Under the new (ares, effective on American Airlines on Jan. 15, the price of a first class ticket from San Francisco to New York will be cut from $186.90 to $160.9(1. IVHY the cut?
