WYNNE The idea of making friends through letter writing has been with us for a number of generations. Two things recently brought the subject of pen pals to my atten tion. '- 1 WAS CONCERNED yesterday 'when it was revealed that the State Department apparently op poses the practice of American school children writing letters to Kussian children. A fourth grade girl student Koseburg had written the depart ment asking for names of sonm Russian pen pals, and apparently the department replied through Representative Charles Porter that, they feared Kussian censorship and propaganda. Porter lampooned the idea, but admitted that the Russians did practice censorship and propagan da. He added, "This is like telling your kids never to walk across the treet because some people get hit by cars." LET'S TAKE . A CAREFUL look at this proposal and the State Department's reply. First of all, any such pen pal writing certainly should be under the direction of a teacher, since a fourth grade child has no way ol determining truth from propa ganda. ; But, beyond that, I can see noth ing but good coining from such a venture. . Since we practice no censorship, the child would be free to write the truth, telling about his or her life and surroundings. '. By contrast, any censorship prac ticed by the Russians would be readily detected by the Russian youngsters who would know that some things had been cut out of trie letters. American youngsters, in turn, would be able to see Russian cen sorship in action in the letters they, in turn, reccivod. IT HAS ALWAYS been my be lief that our American freedoms could withstand any assault. Jf anyone understands the true nature of our freedoms, then I m po.silive he would never trade even a portion of them for the type of tyranny that comes with such fearful philosophies as com munism, fascism or socialism. Exchange of letters with Russian students could also have some good advantages in giving our chil dren a better understanding of conditions in other nations of the world, and might even work, in the long run, toward promotion of more harmonious relations be tween the two nations. state police officers or deputy sher iffs. Air service is good and the Hip can be as inexpensive or as costly as one wishes. During the season, there are plush hotels on the coast which charge only a little less than Amer ican resort hotels. For the tour ists who speak the language, there are the trains tor getting mere and the interior villages lor visit ing to see the real Mexico. After all, Mexico is a near neigh bor and is a North American country. We want to go back, but we probably won't get beyond the Casa de Los Tesoros next time. either. There is something about that place maybe it is the Gordons. Klamath Falls (To the Editor) Could you please tell me where might go to become a wine tester? I have always been a very ambitious person, but could not lecide what career or occupation to follow. I think now I have de cided. I want to be a wine tester. It seems like such a glamorous career. Alter reading so much about this activity and realizing what all these people are doing for the wine industry, I thought to myself well, maybe I can be use ful too. Perhaps, if given the chance, I could become the greatest wine tester in the community. 1 could bring fame to my old home town. m all "hepped up" over the idea. What appeals to me, too, is all the free samples. I can see a great future in this typo of activity for organizations which seem to be having a hard time getting mem bers to attend. If given the chance to become a wine tester, I am going to make aj pledge to myself to try to help all organizations become more spar kling and vital in their approach to community inertia. Even now, this idea is "fermenting" in my mind. Why not have contests between different organizations to find the really, really, greatest wine tester in the community? Friends, it has endless possibilities. Thanks to all of you who have helped me de cine on my life work. With a toast to you all, E. A. Green, Route 2. of over 5,000 square miles and 60,000 people with less than half the staff it takes the city to care for five square miles and 20,000 people. He wants this done with 1925 equipment. That is only part of the job of the sheriff's oKice who has such jobs as collection of taxes, serving summonses and attachments, handling sheriff sales and caring for 80 to 100 prisoners to name only a few. This is an election year, and it will be interesting to note how many of these experts on county government needs file for one of the many county offices. How about it Mr. Clark and Mr Wynne?

Her hobbies are doing needle work, reading and listening to rock V roll songs. Her favorite singers are Ricky Nelson, Conway Twitly, Elvis Presley, and Bobby Darrin. She enclosed a picture of her self. Let me pass along her address: Miss Kimic Seta, 2745-3 Motoki Machi. Adachi-Ku, Tokyo, Japan Here's a chance for young peo ple in this country to correspond with a Japanese girl. I hope someone will respond to her plea.

Mr. Wynne has placed himself on record against a new court house wing. This is easy to figure out. While the county has been growing and demands and duties of county government increasing. Mr. Wynne Just sits in his office and writes editorials.' Offices in Ihe courthouse are taking care of three to four times the business they were built to handle nearly 40 years ago. The district courtroom is' a dis grace to tho county. The Upper court has to handle a good deal of their cases in a room not fit for storage. Every office In the build ing is crowded to the hilt. If Mr. Wynne had to publish his paper under the same conditions he would leave town. Mr. Wynne said he would like to take a tour of the building and talk to those who need extra space. What is he waiting for? It is a public building and anyone can inspect it. Maybe he wants the county court to take a day off and lead him around by the hand. He is well known and will get his quest ions answered. Of course, it is a lot easier to write editorials to confuse the pub lic than find out the facts. Mr. Roland Clark wants the sher iffs office to dike care of an area Itcri China By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (API All of a sudden the Red Chinese are put ting on their Sunday-go-to-meet- ng clothes and an altitude of but ter-won't-melt-in-our-mouths. Two things have happened in connection with this, one realistic and the other hard to believe. The realistic one: ' Ever since the Korean War the American government has refused to recognize the Chinese Commu nists as the rightful government of mainland China and has op posed a seat in the United Nations for them. There has always been some un reality about this, since the Red Chinese not only control mainland China but appear to be strong enough to keep on controlling it into the unforeseeable future. The American position, in try ing to ignore the dominance of tho Red Chinese on the mainland, has always been a diplomatic maneuver intended to force the Red Chinese into being less belligerent. Still, just because this has been the American position, the United Slates has excluded Red China from any talks about .world dis armament, even though any dis armament agreement without Red China would be a farce. Nevertheless the United States, with four of its Western Allies, was going ahead with plans to meet with the Soviet Union and four Soviet-bloc countries in mid March to seek agreement on world disarmament. Then a little over a week ago the Red Chinese made it clear just how much of a joke it would be for the rest of the world to exclude them from an agreement They did it simply: They said they would not abide by any agreement which they didn't help negotiate or sign. The Slate Department quickly agreed this was true and said if the dis armament talks show progress Red China should be brought in. it would have been more realistic for the State Department to have said this on its own, and long ago. As it is, the Red Chinese tuok the initiative in pushing the State Department into this admis sion. This is the hard-to-believe one: Thursday in Tokyo a high-rank ing Japanese politician said the Red Chinese foreign minister, Chen Yi, told him the Communist Chinese have decided never again to use force against Formosa's Chiang Kai-shek. The repeated Red Chinese at tacks on the forces of Chiang, who is not only an American ally but in effect an American responsibil- !y, have been the sorest point of friction between this country and Red China. the Red Chinese have never told the United States they will abandon force against Formosa But if their foreign minister was telling the truth to the Japanese politician, then there are perhaps three reasons. None of the three can be at tributed to a sudden development of mildness or international to getherness in Red China, These are the three likely reasons, sing ly or together; 1. Chiang is an old man. They may figure he won't live long and, since he was their main stum bling block to winning Formosa, once he's gone the Chinese on For mosa can be induced to come over. 2. The Red Chinese by their tactics in recent months have be come a kind of bogey-man to their Asian neighbors: They crushed the Tibetans and jittered even peaceful India by slamming troops right up against her frontier. In short, all Asia now has rea son to look on Red China as a menace. From the standpoint of propaganda alone this is stupidity. It seemed only a matter of time before the Red Chinese got wise to themselves. Apparently they have now. 3. Their aggressiveness has been pain in the neck of Premier Nikila Khrushchev who has been talking peace. They were spoiling any mileage he hoped to get by his opposite tactics. He may have talked them into cutting out the rough stuff at least temporarily. But it's hard to believe Red China has decided to be every body's good neighbor. They haven't been so far. It's possible they've decided to quiet down. But, judging from past perform ance, it still looks like an act.

Officials Say Plot Smashed To Assassinate Trujillo The Alinniinc By United Press International Today is Friday, Jan. 29, the 29th day of the year, with 337 more days to follow in 1960. The moon, is approaching Us first quarter. The morning stars arc Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. On this day in history: In 1737, Thomas Paine, crusader for American freedom, was born. In 1889, crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary . . . heir to the Ilapsburg crown, killed his mis tress, the Baroness Mane Vctsc- ra, and then took his own life at hunting lodge in Mayerling, Austria. In 1900, baseball's American League was organized in Philadel phia, with eight teams Bulfalo, Chicago, Cleveland. Detroit, Indianapolis,- Kansas City, Milwaukee and Minneapolis. A thought for today: Themas Paine, whose writings stirred the cause for American freedom, said: "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." WASHINGTON (AP)-Gcn. Ra fael L. Trujillo was believed here today to have successfully mashed a widespread plot to as- assinate him. Reports that were fragmentary, but from well qualified sources said the Dominican strongman's police arrested perhaps a thou sand or more Dominicans about week ago. A conflicting version came Thursday night from the Domini can Republic, where Trujillo holds control on news dispatches. Col. John Abbes Garcia of the Dominican Military Intelligence Service denounced reports of mass arrests as "maliciously twjsted." He said 15 to 20 persons were being held in connection with an alleged effort by a Cuban to help them make bombs and organ ize Communist type cells. The version reaching Washing ton without Trujillo censorship told of a conspiracy apparently regarded by the Dominican gov ernment as one of the most seri ous in ihe 30 years of Trujillo s rule. Those arrested were said to have included many from promi nent families in the small Carib bean country. Many were reported jailed in a special detention camp built outside Ciudad Trujillo, the capital city. The police were said to have arrested persons in other cities besides the capital and to have found hidden arms. There was no evidence reported here of involvement of Americans, Cubans or other outsiders. Dom inican police activity was said to have been stepped up in weeks immediately preceding the mass arrests. The State Department declined comment. Garcia identified the Cuban in his account as Antonio Cesar Fa bre de la Guardia, who he said entered the Society of Jesus (Je suits) but had never been or dained. G. I.

Red Envoys Come To NY For Goodwill WASHINGTON (AP)-A delcga tion of 25 Russians, including the premiers of four Soviet republics, arrive today in New York for a swift-moving-goodwill visit to 10 states. The Soviet group, the biggest since Premier Nikita Khrush chev's tour last year, is scheduled to land at Idlewild Airport aboard a Soviet TU114 jet airliner this afternoon.. Heading the officials is Dmitri Polyansky, premier of the Rus sian Republic, a man who is also a fast rising newcomer in Com munist party ranks. After a two-day stay in New York, the group is to take off in a chartered American commercial airliner for a three-week 'tour of factories, farms, museums and universities. In eight states, they will be honor guests of the governors who toured the Soviet Union last June. In New York, the visitors ara lo meet with Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller whom Radio Moscow 1ms repeatedly denounced as a warmonger. President Eisenhower probably will meet with them when they come to Washington Feb. 17 but State Department officials said this was not yet certain since the entire tour is being handled by Ihe International Institute of Ed ucation, a nongovernmental organization.

WHEN YOU DRIVE CORVAIR, THRIFT GOES ALONG FOR THE RIDE Corvair's economy begins with its initial low cost, and every mile you drive is money in the pocket. Your gas dollars will now go farther . . , because the Corvair delivers miles and miles and miles per gallon. And when you change oil, the refill is only four quarts. Because of Gorvair's low weight (1,335 lbs. less than conventional cars) and extra-low price, you'll real ize added savings in many states in licensing and insurance costs. When winter comes, just let it. Corvair's air-cooled six-cylinder en gine rids you forever of antifreeze bills. Corvair has no radiator so you can forget aboiit leaks and worn hoses. Important as economy is, it tells only part of Corvair's glad story. The aluminum engine in the rear supplies willing power to the rear wheels, giving superior traction when it's needed most. As you glide along, you'll marvel at how easily the Corvair steers (no power assistance needed there) and the sure braking action front and rear. That's the payoff on precise weight distribution. There's room enough for six adults and the floor is practically flat for remarkable comfort. A wonderfully handy folding rear seat makes it virtually a station sedan. There's really nothing quite like the ride you get in th,e Corvair. Inde pendent suspension at every wheel, Corvair's "spring quartet," wafts ytra over bumps with feathery ease.
