What Comes First?
This is not the moment for a sum
:mit meeting. And this is not simply be
:'cause Eisenhower and Khrushchev do
not want it now.
: The fact is that the idea of the
isummit has over the years become a
ikind of escape for many earnest men
:troubling over the dangers of war.
Of course we must maintain open,
; full communications with the Soviet
: Union as much as we .can. No matter
ihow many times they disappoint us,
: we must yet be willing to return to the
bargaining table.
Still, there are turning points in
our contemporary history when hold
ing one more summit meeting is not
the vital need.
What is called for is a ringing de
Inundation of wrongdoing and a stout
assertion of Intent to stand up for
iwhat is right.
The Soviet Union has breached
the code in two glaring ways one by
acting in The Congo in defiance of
U.N. purposes, the other by thereafter
seeking revenge on the U.N. for dar
ing to contest Soviet aims.
This is pure international lawless
ness and deserves to be highlighted
as such. It should not be muted by
calls for a new summit that will tend
to bury this evil under a tent of com
promise. The neutral nations acted wisely
when they decided to drop their de
mand for another summit. Their voic
es should be raised today in a differ
ent vein. The world still waits to hear
from India's Prime Minister Nehru
what he is capable of saying in sup
port of the right moral course for na
tions to follow.
These countries are neutral as be
tween West and East as participants
in the cold war. They cannot in con
science be neutral between right and
wrong.
We will not let Red China "shoot
its way" or otherwise bulldoze a path
to membership in the U.N. How can
we permit Khrushchev, for all his
power, gain his ends by defiance and
threats of destruction of world order?
Let the neutrals throw away the
crutch of "one more summit meet
ing." Let them speak out now for
Tightness. And let Khrushchev have
another summit when he has come
back wit'hin at least the outermost
bounds of international decency.
One-Man Wreck Crew
J Soviet Premier Khrushchev may
'not seriously mean it when he threat
ens to take the Communist bloc of na
tions out of the United Nations. But
this is no reason to shrug off such
threats.
One hears many explanations of
his tirades at the U.N.
It is said he is trying to cover his
embarrassment over the Communist
reversal in' The Congo. It is also ar
gued that Khrushchev sometimes
makes the most noise just before he
is ready to enter serious negotiations.
Surely it is plausible that he should
want to get the world's mind off the
abortive Red effort in The Congo.
There is no substantial reason to be
lieve, however, that he has any in
tention of proposing or undertaking
major discussions now on world prob
lems. - '
. Even If he were so bent, that
Log Jam In Courts
Short of ceding their freedoms to
. a foreign enemy or home-grown dic
tator, the surest way for a people to
lose their faith in justice is to allow
their legal machinery to bog down.
; An official government report
says that nearly 71,000 cases are
backed up in federal courts. The av
erage wait for a hearing is 18 months.
It is as long as three years in some
cities.
; Says Chief Justice Earl Warren:
"Delay in the courts is bad, because
;the lapse of time frequently causes
.deterioration of evidence and makes it
less likely that justice will be done
:vhen the case is finally tried."
Meanwhile, Congress, when it is
in session, conducts politics as usual
by sitting on bills to create additional
judgeships.
Still A Long Way
For the scoffers who say, "What
have ir'.ce, bats, deaf cats, eels and
lizards used in your research got to
do with missiles?", Brig, Gen. B. G.
Holzman of the Air Force scientific
team has an answer.
: Despite the simplicity of their
structure, these animals perform com
:plex chores beyond the capacity of the
best computers available today."
would be no justification for his dis
ruptive tactics. For the U.N. was not
created to serve as a mere element in
his private strategic calculations to
be kicked about and maligned at his
whim.
He has done the U.N. and its able,
fairminded secretary-general, Dag
Hammarskjold, immense harm with
' his irresponsible attacks. No man
genuinely moving toward peace would
begin by tearing apart the world's only
peace agency.
If Khrushchev thinks by these ma
neuvers he will impress new nations
with the authority and dominance of
the Soviet Union in world affairs, he is
misjudging.
They do not doubt Russia's power.
But the only authority he has ex
hibited is that of the bully, the nuis
ance, the wrecker. It is beyond imag
ination that they should see in him,
in Soviet communism, an ally in the
fight for security and human better
ment in a troubled world.
Some reports have it that Khrush
chev is mightily pleased with what he
has done since he came to American
shores. If he is, this can only be a com
ment on the blindness of the totali
tarian mind.
From the moment he landed here
he has swung the wrecker's iron ball.
To listen to him, you'd think with each
swing he was trying to launch a satel
lite with the dove of peace inside. But
even the novices at the U.N. know the
ball is solid and intended as a de
structive weapon.
New Battle
Boy Scouts in Britain, nearly 160,
000 of them, are voting on the issue
of short trousers versus long. The odds
favor the longics.
"Some of the bigger boys do feel
embarrassed at having to wear shorts,"
says a spokesman of the Boy Scout
Association.
BARBS
The commercial fisherman has
more opportunity to be disappointed
with his net income than anvone.
iThe Congo
A boss simply couldn't hold his job
if he was as ignorant as some of his
employes often think he is.
Revealing facts about The Congo
are contained in a report to the United
Nations by Rajeshwar Dayal of India.
:Dayal replaced Ralph Bunche as top
:U.N. representative in that troubled
:land.
Among the figures cited by Dayal:
;There are only 17 native Congolese
j(out of a population of over 13 million)
;who are university graduates. There
are no engineers, architects or college-level
teachers.
We wonder why people waste time
painting signs reading "Keep Off the
Grass" when there are kids in the
neighborhood.
When you're past your prime,
prime yourself for the future by tak

CAPITOL NEWS...
Act Would
Abolish '
Grand Jury
(Kditor'i Note: There are IS
state measures on the Nov. 8
general election ballot. This Is
the second of five articles de
scribing their background and
effect.)
By DOUGLAS GRfl'P
United Press International
SALEM Proposition No. 4
on the Oregon ballot, permitting
prosecution by inlormation or
indictment, would permit by
passing of gund juries.
A grand jury is a panel of
citizens with previous experi
ence on juries chosen to hear
evidence against an individual,
and may issue indictments if
it feels there is sufficient evi
dence to warrant a trial.
The measure would allow dis
trict attorneys to prefer an "in
formation," or written charge,
aainst a defendant and bring
him to trial without grand jury
action. At present, district at
torneys must ask grand juries
to prefer such charges, usual
ly in criminal cases.
The more expensive grand
jury system also takes longer,
and supporters of the measure
say No. 4 would allow a faster
handling of criminal cases in
circuit courts.
Many attorneys feel, however,
that the grand jury provides a
"safeguard" to the public
since no one person can point
the finger at an accused per
son. Some feel the proposed
. plan could be "abused."
Lawyers are divided. The
Oregon Slate Bar Association,
by a close vote, supports the
measure.
Number 5 on the ballot au
thorizes the Legislature to pro
pose a revised Oregon constitu
tion to (he people.
Paris of the stale conslitution
are obsolete and it has been
amended five limes more than
the U.S. Conslitution. The lat
ter carries 22 amendments.
The measure would permit
the Legislature to put on the
ballot at a future election a
new constitution. Under present
law, only a constitutional con
vention may submit an entire
ly revised constitution to the
voters.
Advocates of a constitutional
convention oppose the measure
but most Oregon legislators feel
measure No. 5 is the best ap
proach to overhauling the
slate's constitution. .
Number 6 is state bonds for
higher education facilities. It
would allow the Oregon System
of Higher Education to more
than double its bonding capaci
ty to build student dormitories,
and similar facilities lhat pay
for themselves through -rental
or other fees.
It would not raise or alter
taxes. The proposal passed the
1959 Legislature unanimously.
Supporters say dormitory
space at Oregon's colleges is
al a premium now, with a pre
dicted doubling of enrollments
in 10 years.
There appears to be no or
ganized opposition to this measure.
EDSON IN WASHINGTON
Presidential Campaign Getting More
Personal, Rougher In Late Stages
By PETER EliSO.V
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA ) "This
1960 election is just like 1932,"
say old-time Washington waiters
who have pretty good ears for
political gossip. In 19.S2, they ex
plain, all the table talk of people
with enough money to eat in
good restaurants and hotel din
ing rooms was for Herbert Hoo
ver's re-election. But the people
on the street all talked Roose
velt. This year, the table talk in the
swell eating places is all Nixon
and Lodge, but the talk of the
people the waiters meet when
they quit work is all Kennedy.
So say the waiters.
President Eisenhower isn't the
type that forgives or forgets old
grudges easily.
That's why the odds are
against a reconciliation with
Khrushchev during the pres
ent U.N. General Assembly ses
sion, unless Khrushchev does an
absolute about-face in his posi
tion. Eisenhower's feud with ex
President Truman is cited as
the index to Ike's reaction.
Truman picked Eisenhower as
first supreme commander of
NATO forces. Then Truman
tried to persuade Ike to run
for president as a Democratic
candidate in 1902.
When Eisenhower went Re
publican and won the GOP
presidential nomination, Tru
man campaigned against him
and was highly critical of his
policies and philosophy.
Eisenhower never forgave
what he considered lo be these
insults. When he drove to the
White House to pick up Tru
man to go to the inauguration,
Eisenhower sat in his car and
did not get out to greet the out
going president, as is customary.
Since then, Eisenhower has
never consulted Truman, even
though Truman, as president,
frequently called in ex-Presi
dent Hoover and used his serv
ices for government reorgani
zation planning.
When Eisenhower now says he
won t meet Khrushchev unlil the
KB-47 . pilots are released and
other conditions are met, the
guessing is that he'll stick to it.
The hottest political rally the
Republicans have held so far.
was the series of 1960 campaign
dinners, held simultaneously in
36 cities. They were linked by
closed circuit television. Eisen
hower, Nixon, Lodge, Rockefel
ler and Goldwater all spoke
briefly and to the point. The
GOP hopes to clear about three
million dollars. But all this
probably didn't win the party a
single vote.
The reason is that no Demo
crats or independents got to see
the show. Only the 35.000 peo
ple who had paid up to $100
apiece for their dinners got the
message. But they were all Re
publicans who were already

the fears of several correspon
dents who have written to in
quire about a group of what I
prefer to call "normal abnor
malities" of the heart.
The average mot normal)
heart rate is 72 beats to the
minute. Many quite normal per
sons (and many athletes) get
along perfectly well with a
slower rate (bradycardia).
During the most active years
of my own life, for example,
my resting minute count rare
ly exceeded 60. And one of the
greatest longdistance runners
o( Olympic fame had a count
even slower than mine.
While the presence of a bra
dycardia occasionally is the re
sult of an abnormality (such as
a sluggish thyroid or overdos
ing with digitalisi, rapidity of
the heart rate (tachycardia) is
usually a sign of trouble whose
discovery may require painstak
ing investigation.
However, if the tachycardia
Is unexplained and unaccompa
nied by distress of any kind, it
may be dismissed hs another of
the normal abnormalities.
In addition to normal abnor
malities of the heart rate, there
are also normal abnormalities
of rhythm. If you will take a
deep breath, for example, and
hold it for several seconds, you
may notice that your rale
speeds. Hold your breath after
you've breathed out and you
may find that the rate slows.
This condition of alternating
tachycardia nd bradycardia, de
pendent on the respiratory cy
cle, is known as sinus anhvth. '
nua. It's a perfectly normal ab
normality that's frequently ob
served in infancy and early
childhood.
The last of the normal ab
normalities is the occasional
"skipped," or "dropped" beat
(extra-systole) that's perhaps
more fear-inspiring than any of
the other conditions we've discussed.

Today is Thursday, October
13. the 287th day of the year
with 79 more in 1960.
The moon is approaching its
new phase.
The morning star is Mars.
On this day in history:
In 1775.' the Continental Con
gress ordered construction of a
Naval fleet, this originating the
U.S. Navy.
In 1852, actress Lily Langtry
was born.
In 1912. in a move to increase
the population, the government
of Australia, announced a $25
bonus would be paid to the
parents of every newborn baby.
In 1937, Nazi Germany prom
ised that in case of a future
war, she would not violate Bel
gian neutrality.
Thought for today: English
writer Lylton Strachey said:
"Perhaps of all the creations
of man language is the most
astonishing."
Usually caused by some pass
ing physical or emotional dis-
turbance (like overeating, over
exertion, sudden panic or hear
ty laughter), the extra-systole
(pronounced sis-toe-lee) may
produce a fluttory chest sensa
tion (palpitation).
However, I would not advise
you to dismiss too lightly a
sense of palpitation or the actu
al demonstration of pulse skip
ping. ,
If only for reassurance, you
owe it to yourself to submit to
a careful examination by your
doctor.
And. if he finds your rate
and rhythm normal, it's not be
cause he's missed the boat or
because you've imagined what
you described. It's just that the

"converted" to Nixon and Lodge.
While Republicans were hav
ing their private parties Demo
crats Jack Kennedy, his wife
Jacqueline and their daughter
Caroline were at home. They
appeared on the CBS Television
show, Person to Person, with
Charles Collingwood, and they
probably had an audience of 15
to 16 million.
Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvan
ia is the author of two books.
The first was "How to Get Out
of Jail," a serious tome on crim
inal law. The second, "How to
Get Into Politics." was written
16 years later. There's no con
nection between them.
"But wouldn't it have been ter
rible," says Scott, "if I had writ
ten the two books in reverse or
der 'How to Get Into Polities'
then 'How to Get Out of
Jail'?"
The presidential campaign is
now beginning to get personal
and rough not like the first
Nixon-Kennedy TV debate.
Republicans are attacking
Kennedy on his record. . . .The
238 times he voted in opposition
to his vice presidential running
mate, Lyndon Johnson ... his
opposition to Agriculture Secre
tary Benson, but his 27 votes for
Benson programs before 1957 . . .
on his new farm program that
would raise farm income at the
cost of increased food prices
for consumers ... on his ab
sence from 25 per cent of the
Senate roll calls in eight years
... on the charge that he
would have "apologized" to
Khrushchev to keep the summit
talks going.
Democratic charges against
Nixon are aimed principally at
the image built up for him as
an experienced leader.
They hammer at the fact he
made no decisions, in spie of
President Eisenhower's praise
for his advice and counsel . . .
they charge that U.S. foreign re
lations in six areas actually
worsened after Nixon visited
them ... he is accused now of
trying to stifle debate on Amer
ica's present economic and mili
tary postures ... he is said to
have no programs of his own
save promises to carry on the
Eisenhower policies . . . digging
into his past, it is claimed he
used McCarthy tactics before
McCarthy.
Sen. Barry Goldwater is prov
ing to be the Republicans' most
effective campaigner in the
South. He speaks the language
southern conservative Demo
crats can understand and agree
with. There are more demands
for Goldwater as a campaign
speaker than anyone else. He is
already booked for 18 October
appearances in Georgia, Florida,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisi
ana, North and South Carolina.
Q
NOTHING
SPECIAL
(W. B. S.)
In our home (and, I'm sure,
in many others) every time the
telephone rings the youngsters,
it seems, are there first hoping
the effort earns them an oppor
tunity lo converse with the un
fortunate person on the other
end of the wire. Sometimes,
when one is in kind of a hurry,
this amiability can be rather
trying to the caller. And, some
of the spontaneous remarks that
emit can he more than a little
embarrassing.
Principal frustration as far as
I am concerned, however, is
when the 16-monlh old wanders
around the house looking for
something to do and generally
winds up taking the receiver
off the hook on one or more
of the phones.
But, the height of such 'frus
tration undoubtedly was expe
rienced by the salesman who
called a prospective customer
and the phone was answered by
what was obviously a small
boy.
"Is your mother or father at
home?" the 'salesman asked.
The child said no and the
salesman asked if there was
anyone else to speak to.
"My sister" the youngster re
plied. "Let me speak to her," the
salesman said.
There was a long period of
silence and the little boy fi
nally relumed to the phone.
"I can't lift her out of the
playpen," he announced.
I don't want a lot of money
I'd be satisfied, I vow.

guess they're here to stay, the
more I see of these plastic toys,
the more I think they have

The number of people who
watched the television debates
between Vice President Nixon
and Senator Kennedy ranges as
. high as 75 million people, I
hear. Which is quite an audi
ence. Figures this large have
a tendency not to register, but
a few comparisons may help:
It's 72 times the number of
Indians in North America at
the time of Columbus.
It's over 17 times the popula
tion of the U.S. in 1776.
It's almost four times the to
tal number of fans who attend
ed major league ball games
during the whole year of 1959.

months of 1960, the rate was

Though the decrease isn't
spectacular, it was accom
plished in the face of a 2
' per cent increase In miles

deaths, however, 24.010 per

August 1960, against 23,860 at
the same time in 1959.
