PAGE 10 A HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8. 1958 MR. AND MRS. JACK DOUGLASS Travel By Small Airplane Seen By Ore Tech Assistant By RUTH KING Cross-country travel by small plane, Is the answer to schedule crowded days of traveling, budget minded businessmen, In the opin ion of Wilbur M. (Jack) Douglass, assistant to the director of Oregon The Loquacious Portable Editor's Note: This is one of a series of letters written by Wal traud (Dietsche) Eriksdun, for merly of Klamath Falls, and now In Germany. By WALTRAUD ERIKSDUN ESSEN While Queen Juliana was sunning herself on the French Riviera, the Eriksduns felt like a dip in Hollands North bea. Since 1952, when Germans got their passports back after IB years, foreign travel from Lapland to Af ghanistan has become the new national sport. Whenever that fickle sun was out, there were no hotel reservations to be had. Final ly we resorted to a bus excursion, which took us to The Hague, Scheveningcn, Rotterdam, and back to our Essen Hotel all with in 18 hours. Wo rubbed our night-owl eyes at 6:30 a.m. and noted tho freshly scrubbed spryness of the teachers and secretaries who bounced out of town with us. Radio chirpings of The River Kwai March were an added technical touch, but, across the border in Holland, the con turies slipped back. An articulate lady in Dutch costume invaded the bus with sou venirs. She was the last of her kind, and, during a stopover for breakfast, we also enjoyed abori ginal butter without benefit of the four-week cold storage cto main tain prices) now common In Ger many. There was an occasional wind mill, an obsolete phony no doubt, but the canals, drawbridges and flowers that inspired Van Gogh were still there. Also the quaint rows of narrow houses, with their itecply-gabled zig-zag, like the neatly hooded mesdames who drove him to madness. These brightly colored houses have but a single room on each floor. They have a window in front, and a window In back so you can see right through them. Win dows and waterways a landscape of glass! And when it rains, us it finally did a landscape of mir rors! But Scheveningcn was gray. The North Sea was gray. We had four hours to kill in a nightmare by Dali. Rain beat down upon foreign cars upon the turrets of godfor saken grand holds upon shark where wooden shoes and other sou venirs were sold up on forlorn stretches of sand, doited with beach baskets like so many dis carded cigarette sluhs. Ealing places were crowded with suntanned refugees in shorts and sandals. We competed for a loveless meal, then, paradoxically, to dispel our fatigue, took a tram for The Hague. Have you ever seen these grnclle Balinesc dancers, in brown and silken writhings. beforo ornate temples? Now they entered the tram with furrowed brows and. like other Dutch citizens, bought tickets. They wore leather shoes and drab department-store coats, priced maybe at thirty-nine gulden. "He who climb a great moun tain must come down the other side." Since Dutch East Indies in dependence, life has become so difficult for the colonizers and their Indonesian wives and asso ciates, that many of them have returned to Holland. Dark Indo nesian eyes and straight black hair arc a common sight in tho blond Dutch cities far from tho thou sand volcanic islands from spice and rubber plantations, rice ter races and jungles their natural habitat. The tram rattled past narrow shops and a porch where, brown Indonesian children were playing in the rain. It was not a steam ing tropical rain but a darkly cpurkliiig Netherlands rain, and these children, liko thoso s u n seeking Eriksduns, must have shiv ered a little. Technical Institute. A few months ago Douglass was learning at ground school, at the municinal airport, about he importance of wind velocity, tiling flight plans, radio contacts and cones of silence. He recently received his pilot's li cense. Douglass speaks from experience after having made a flight to the midwest, Irequent lunkets nhoul the Pacific Coast and more recent ly a trying trip from Klamath falls to foronto.

The couple flew to Toronto where Douglass attended the Plen ary meeting of the International Committee on international world service and building for brother- nooa oi young Men's Christian As sociations of the United States and Canada, held on September 20-21 He is a member of that commit tec.

A total of 111 million dollars is to be raised lor tho necessary physical facilities lo carry out the proposed pro gram, with the U.S. and Canada subscribing approximately $5,800, 000 of the total amount. These "building" orocrani needs will be voluntarily submitted by Ihe participating nations to be thoroughly studied by the YMCA committees set up for this pur pose. . . .1 the countries in which Hie YMLA youlh leadership plan will function, will then raise as much ol lie total cash requirements as possible to apply toward the far reaching work. The U.S. and Cann. da arc pledged lo supply the dif ference in funds on approved proj ects which will amount from three per cent to 75 per cent of the total. in tlie present tense world situ- ition, Douglass explains, the YMCA can accomplish this effort oward improved world voulh Christian activities with less inter national import IIkiii could the United Nations, (he United Slates! or Russia, whose interests mieht he misinterpreted by the countries accepting the linancial aid.

Young Potter Stewart Started Day With Law CINCINNATI (AP)-Youne Pol ler Stewart started his day with law. He heard it at the dinner table. As his father shaved, he could sometimes hear him rehearsing the arguments that a jury would hear later that day. And at din ner, he would hear his father's talk ot the day s courtroom work. That is one way Judge Potter Stewart, named Tuesday to be an associate justice of the U.S. Su preme Court, was impressed by law as a profession. The shadow of James Garfield Stewart fell on his son in other ways. One day, in an argument about a fact, Potter offered to bet that his father was wrong. His father said, We can never bet on a fact. We can wager on a difference of opinion if we please. But as sensible men, we will sim ply get out the books and look up this tact we are arguing. The senior Stewart went on to become mayor of Cincinnati for 10 years and finally to the Ohio Supreme Court. Potter Stewart lumped from city politics and law practice to the U.S. Court of Appeals bench. While attending Yale University, he was chairman of the Yale News and did some newspaper work, a job he liked well enough lo consider trying that field. But finally he turned to law. He later studied at England's Cambridge University on a fellowship. World War II interrupted his law career and he spent three years on sea duty in the Atlantic as a gunnery and navigation offi cer, winning three battle stars. But Judge Stewart described his service as "floating around on sea of 100-octane gas, bored to death 99 per cent of the time and scared to death 1 per cent. After the war he came home to start a law practice and moved easily into Republican politics. He won election to City Council in 1949 and again two years later. headed the ticket which under Ihe city's charier government sys- lem would automatically bring him election by his colleagues as mayor. But Judge Stewart turned it down because of his family and law practices, which were both lien young, tic was then 36. He said his father was elected mayor when his children were grown and he had completed many years of successful practice is a lawyer. He added, It appears to me that the office and honor of mayor is not one that should be under taken by a young man with small children to bring up and support. He had no judicial experience when he was named to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 19a4. But the judge said. "Beine fair. minded is somelhing that's either there or not. Some lawyers are advocates. They couldn't make good judges." He has taken part in onlv nn case involving the currently prom inent school integration question In 1956 he ruled with the ma jority in overturning a lower court and ordering integration of Ne groes into elementary schools of Hillsboro, Ohio, a small commun ity about 50 miles northeast of Cincinnati. The Hillsboro School Board had maintained that integration would be effected when new school build ings were built. Judge Polter's opinion said the board s purpose was understand ably to reflect the 'spirit of the community' and to avoid 'racial problems' ... but the law of Ohio and the Constitution of the United States simply left no room for the board's action, whatever motives the board may have had." Earlier this month, he ruled in a New York case that is likely to reach the U.S. Supreme Court in time. He sat with the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld a jail sentence to Marie Torre, New York columnist, for refusing to divulge a news source. Judge Stewart wrote that al though freedom of the press is precious and vital, it "is not an absolution. His home has been here most of his life, but he was born in Jack son, Mich., where his family had gone on a Christmas holiday. His family includes his wife .Mary Anne; daughter Harriet, u and two sons. Potter Jr., 10, and David, 7.
