Here's a different account of the
state high school basketball tourna
ment. .
First, and despite any reports you
may get to the contrary, the road
down to Eugene is good. There was
packed snow on the highway from
about Cres-Oel to the tunnel going
Thursday; the road surface was
bare, though rain spattered, coming
back Sunday
Large dogs were in evidence at
Chemult as usual. Two large black
Labs were inspecting traflic from
the vantage point of a 10-foot snow
pile at each passing.
Engineers are still tearing up the
landscape of the upper Willamette

of having started work on the dam

word, and definitely is allergic to
homecomings and such get-togethers.
This was different.
It was the gathering of the mem
bers of the Eugene High team
that won that same tournament and
then went on to the nationals in
Chicago 25 years ago. (One win,
one loss, at Chicago.)
Of the 9-man squad, plus coach
and manager, seven showed up.
Of this crew, only one man has
been "lost". Nobody knows what
became of Frank Lewis. The re
maining nine all are reasonably
well settled down and are reason
ably respectable "family men."
Three married their high school
aweethearts. tTwo of these couples
are living happily ever after.) One
went to New York for his bride:
the rest of us were found by our
help-mates in between.
Three of the bovs still are in Eu

Elsewhere on this page you'll
find a notice to the public stating
that in the future all letters to the
editor must be signed with a full
came and address.
There's a reason behind it all.
It goes back a good many years
and brings memories of a contin
uing battle that has never been
won by either side.
To start at. the beginning let's
say that the letters to the editor
column is the true voice of the
people. A chance for anyone to ex
press his views on and about cur
rent events.
A public rostrum, as It were, of
fering a chance to anyone who can
write to have his say. At no cost
to nimseif.
In short, a free American press
at work.
Of course that outline is Utopian.
like so many other things in this
complicated me oi ours.
Letters leading to libel cannol
and will not be printed. They lead
to lawsuits in which both the writ
er and the newspaper are liable
to huge damages. Profane letters
or letters in bad taste cannot be
printed. And so on and so forth
But if you have a legitimate
cause we want your letters. In the
past we have experimented with
various theories as to how we
could stimulate this flow of letters.
Shyness seems to be the leading
factor in keeping potential Bris
banes out of print. They are afraid
that people may scoff at what they
write. So they send in anonymous
letters. Some of these are accept
able. Some are not.
This paper cannot in good faith
publish a blistering attack on some
person or group without reveal
ing the name of the author. That's
like letting a hidden marksman
snipe at you. He can see you hu.
you can't see him. And it's not
lair. It is not the American way
of doing things. So if your letter
is highly controversial you must
identify yourself and have the cour
age to say what you believe and
let everyone know how you feel.
But there are certain other mat
ters that are not so controversial.
Or at least that's what we thought.
But recently some organized
groups in and around Klamath
Falls have grown so sensitive and
touchy that they have built a wall
around the fair publishing of the
news. They have done this by con
stant phone calls to the office de
manding lo know the names of
persons who wrote letters to the
editor signed only wiih initials.
Some of these we felt were not
controversial. Others we had no
hestltation about releasing. But
the staff cannot spend its ent.rc
time looking , for back copies of
letters. (Yesterday I spent three
hours looking for a copy of a letter

one wanted tne name. The letters
cannot all be filed due to a lack
of space and must be cleared out

With the advent of warmer

First the bare branches. Then
the first tracery of buds bursting
out followed by an almost over
night change to the full glory of
trees in their exquisite green
dress.
But I suppose the thoughts of
trees within the city limits are so
obsolescent that a man shouldn't
admit his age by telling of them.

NF.W YORK W Truce In Korea
that perennial bauble of hope
has been pretty well Isrniiiiled In

Industry,
Rut doubtless, If It comm. it
still will aend psychological ripples
through the already troubled Amer
ican economy first off, through
the stock and commodity rx
changes, always sensitive In sup
posed changes In policy or cour.-e.
And, conceivably, these ripples
could grow Into waves.
Ths Interminable gabbing at
Panmunjom already has worked
the economy Into a sltuntlon
where the dollar-and-cenls ellerts
ot a truce would depend inelty
much on how people take It Just
another milestone in t he scemtii'ily
endless cold war, nr a real let
down in defease of Kill.
And the public has been tiiuuht
Unit the defense eflorl is a duel
mainstay In an economy rather
dubiously balanced juol now be
tween inflation and depression.
Times have changed since the
truce talks started last July.
Those who believe the truce
would lead to a defense letdown
and a business slump fear these
possibilities:
A truce could make consumers
evrn more reluctant to buy. Al
ready they are bargain hunters.
Some businessmen fear customers
will May home entirely, waiting fur
a collapse In prices.
Stock traders might abandon the

from rearmament, they might woo
again the peace babies Industries
hard hit when must matrrlah ere
earmarked for armament. Thy
ml-ht even (ear that decllnlmt
defense spending would send the
heavy industries on the downward
path that textiles alrrady has trnl.
Commodity nrire-. already weak
ened, might feel the depressing
touch of a truer. War has a heart
ier appetite than peace.
Store buyers and factory pur
chasing agents, already playing It
close to the vest, might put oil
future orders.
Congress, looking for a place tn
whittle the budget, might regard
the truce as an Invitation to carve
on the fat of military appropria
tions, and foreign aid.
And the pressure to free tho
economy of controls on prices and
materials would take on a load of
fresh steam with the first whli per
of the peace dove s w ings In Korea.
Against all these possibllltti s
must be stacked two tacts: Billions
already appropriated for defense
have yet to be spent; and the
inflated and vulnerable economy
lint was proposed has alreadv
started back to normal size. A
Korean truce hasn't the lolling
potential It once had. The danger
now Ls thai even a small Ir.r
might upset a teetering economy.
The United States foreign policy
and the defense spending that goes
with It Is described as alreadv
"past the point of no return." That
means, more money.
Congress has appropriated 130
billion dollars for defense 80 bil
lion of that still unspent. Congre.'J
has been asked tor 60 bill. on
dollars more In the fiscal vear
ehead. If this total of ISO billion
dollars ls poured Into the economy,
It could offset much of the effects
of the letdown from a Korean
truce.
And even If the nation should
change Its mind about the need for
rearmament, the letdown women t
snow up until aiier inr mouev
already appropriated can be spent:
In other words, Ihere'd
be
stretch-out in the letdown.

16 states will the voters have a

But those 16 primaries are such
a hodge-podge, each one differing
