Day's Sews
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, about mid
morning, not much in the way of
what in these ultra-modern days
we have come to call NEWS is
happening.
Nobody is circling the eartrrfn
a space ship. Nobody has taken
off for the moon. No empires
have fallen. Nothing particularly
new is happening in Cuba. No
new schemes to spend ourselves
rich have been sprung in Wash
ington. There are no new scan
dals. All in all, it's a rather quiet
day so far, at least.
. But
In our country
February 12 is an important
date. On this day 154 years ago,
in a cabin on a pioneer farm
near what is now the town of
Hodgcnville. Kentucky, a child
was born. They named him after
his grandfather Abraham iLin
coin i, who in 1780, sold his farm
in the Shenandoah valley of Vir-
ginia and with his wife and five
small children took the long trail
to the Kentucky wilderness.
There, six years after leaving
Virgina, he was shot and killed
by an Indian, leaving his family
husbandless and fatherless.
One of this original Abraham's
Eons was named Thomas. He was
a wandering laboring man, who
grew up literally without ANY
education at least, without any
education of the type we have
come to regard as indispensable
to success. He couldn't read and
he couldn't write. He couldn't
figure.
His son Abraham had no op
portunity for formal education. Of
himself, he said in his late r
years: "When I came of age, I
didn't know much. Still, some
how, I could read and write and
CIPHER TO THE RULE OF
THREE."
Abraham Lincoln, you see, had
almost NO formal education. But
he had the thirst for knowledge
that gave him WISDOM which
Webster defines as: "The quality
of being wise; ability to judge
soundly and deal sagaciously with
facts: especially as they relate
to life and conduct; discernment
and judgment: sagacity."
Lincoln's WISDOM enabled him
to lead our country through its
greatest crisis. Education, of
course, is priceless. But Lincoln's
career teaches us that education
doesn't necessarily HAVE to be
acquired in a costly school plant.
Let's put it this way:
EDUCATION is wonderful-and
in these abundant modern days
we should see to it that every
possible opportunity is provided
for the education of our children.
But formal education isn't
everything. The thirst for knowl
edge is the big essential.
February is a great month in
our history. It includes the birth
days of our two greatest men
Lincoln and Washington.
It is worth adding here that
Washington, although a member
of an aristocratic family, had rel
atively little opportunity for FOR
MAL schooling. Reading, writing
and CIPHERLNG BY THE RULE
OF THREE comprised the bulk
of his formal education.
In conclusion, this question:
What is the RULE OF THREE?
Do you know offhand?
The Rule of Three is the rule

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY TODAY
He Saved
His Name
By DON OAKLEY
History books record that an
actor named Booth shot to death
a man named Lincoln.
Few history books, however.

named Booth once saved the life
of a man named Lincoln.
The first instance, of course.
was John Wilkes Booth's assas
sination of President Abraham
Lincoln in Ford's Theatre in
Washington. The other, which oc
curred shortly before this, in
volved Booth's older brother, Ed
win, and Lincoln's S(n, Robert.
In 1865, Edwin Booth at 31 was
the outstanding Shakespearean
performer of his day. President
Lincoln himself once watched
him play Shylock at Ford's The
atre, remarking that he would
rather have read the play at home
but went only to see the great
actor.
The name Booth, in fact, had
dominated the American stage for
decades. It began- with Junius
Brutus Booth, who came from
England, and who hud three actor
sons: Junius Brutus Jr., fcdwin
and John Wilkes.
John, the youngest, was the fa
vorite of the South, to which he
was fanatically devoted even
more than to his dream of eclips
ing his brother's fame.
In November, 1864, the three
brothers had appeared together
for the first and only time in
Shakespeare's Julius Caesar at
Ihe Winter Garden in New York.
Immediately after this, Edwin
Booth had opened in Hamlet, and
in March, 1865, was completing a
record run of 100 performances
The city of New York was pre
paring to present him with
a
gold medal.
It was about this time that
business took Bootii to Philadel
phia. At the railroad station plat
form in Jersey City, a jostling
crowd was buying tickets from
the conductor. Booth saw a young
man, pushed by the crowd, lose
his balance and slip from the
platform just as the train be
gan to move. Booth dropped his

"We don't expect to match the
record Marines are setting in their
50-mile hikes," said Greta Even
son, 32, a teacher. "But we will
make a good showing, better than
the W hile House walkers."
Salinger, who will be accom
panied by reluctant newsmen, has!
predicted he won't gel anywhere
near 60 miles on his hike.
The long distance hiking began
when President Kennedy asked
Gen. David M. Shoup. Marine
Corps commandant, if modern Ma
nnes could live up to a 1!T8 order
by Theodore Roosevelt requiring
officers periodically to hike 50
miles.

Bill Sparks
House Fight
SALEM (UPP- House Speaker
Clarence Barton Monday night is
sued a stinging reply to a charge
by Rep. Joe Rogers, R-lndepend-
ence, that the House leadership
had failed to take positive ac
tion on tax proposals.
"I will call his bill before the
House tomorrow if he wants,"
Barton snapped, "and I'm not kid
ding."
Rogers is author of a sales tax
bill that would exempt farm sup
plies.
House Tax Committee Chairman
Richard Eymann, D M areola, said
his committee this afternoon
would consider the possibility of
issuing the Rogers' bill out of
committee with a "do not pass"
recommendation to get it before
full House membership.
"I can't say what the commit
tee will do," Eymann said, "but
I can refer to history in 1957 a
similar situation arose and the
House Tax Committee quickly got
a bill out of committee so it could
go before the House."
The bill died.
Rogers, in a letter to Barton
Monday, stated "the legislature is
now in its fifth week of delibera
tion. The Democratic leadership
has shown plainly that they do
not intend to refer any tax pro
posal to the voters for their con
sideration. Oregon is now at the cross
roads of financial chaos. One road
leads to tax reform and economic
progress the other to a 'patch
work tax program' and economic
oblivion.
"It is time to stop listening to
tax proposals but time to take
positive action.
In his reply, Barton said:
"It may be as you say that
Oregon is 'at the crossroads of
financial chaos.' This cannot be
solved by rushing pellmell into
higher taxes without an investiga
tion of the consequences.

Move Urged
If Diploma
Talks Fail
WASHINGTON (UPD - Sen.
John Sherman Cooper, R-Ky has
called for resumption of the U.S.
blockade of Cuba if diplomacy
fails to get Russian troops oft tno
island.
The former ambassador to In-
dia said Monday he was confident
President Kennedy would use
"diplomatic means" to have Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev order the
troops back to the Soviet Union.
But Cooper told the Senate that
if these negotiations fail "the
President, supported by Congress,
should take the same firm meas
ures that he took last fall. . ."
"I do not believe the Soviet Un
ion would risk a confrontation
and nuclear war on this issue,"
he said.
Cooper said that once It was
established the United States
would not tolerate a Russian base
in Cuba, "we can maintain it as
a policy for the Western Hemi
sphere." Says Facts Withheld
In the House, Rep. E. Moss
Adair, R-Ind., a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, said that "there is uncertain
ty that the full (Cuba) story
hasn t been told the American
people."
Adair, who has been a frequent
critic of the administration's
Cuba policy, said "the feeling
persists that there Is a mighty
military machine In the hands of
Castro and that sooner or later
this menace must be dealt with."
Rep. Ed Foreman, R-Tex., said
- cuoa was making moves to set
"P armed camps In other Latin
American countries. Two ships
steamed out of the Cuban port of
Marlel last week "loaded with
arms destined for British Gui
ana, and guerrilla bands also
have been sent Into Venezuela, he
said.
Charges Politics
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield, Mont., called for less
'partisan politics and more In
terest in "the national need to be
constructive and to come forward
with the kind of assistance which
any president needs at any cru
cial period in our history."
Mansfield said New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, who criticized
U.S. policy on Cuba in a weekend
peech, "has in his own back
yard, so to speak, in New York
City, a microcosm of the Im
mense problems of poverty, hu
man neglect and Inequity which
are at the root of the ills of Latin
America."
Senate Democratic Whip Hu
bert H. Humphrey, Minn., said it
was important that unsubstanti
ated charges "do not find their
way into this chamber or into the
media of public communication."
In addition to filling the precinct
posts with active people, he called
for programs to promote the
study of national and state legis
lation, promotion of a aeries of
practical politic courses, solicit
ing of finances locally so as to be
able to encourage suitable candi
dates for various elective posts.
to maintain an adequately staffed
headquarters, to support and
