Sunday, April 21, 196) 1 fcdibfxiaL (paqsL Cuba : Tobacco farmers in Connecticut, who a few years ago were going out of business, are : expanding production because of the U.S. ban ,on trade with Cuba. Connecticut Valley broadleaf is a not in ferior substitute for Cuban tobaccos formerly used as filler in high-quality cigars. By the :time existing stocks of Havana tobacco run , out, manufacturers expect the consumers' lastes to have become accustomed to the new flavor. ,: Growers in the South are also stepping up acreage of wrapper leaves. Puerto Rico and '.other countries are shipping in more tobacco. Non-Cuban tobacco imports in the first 10 months of 1962 were more than double the ;yearly pre-Castro average. Much the same story can be told in sugar. Someday ; (Register Guard, Eugene) ! It now appears, on the basis of House Local Government Committee action, that Ipemi-compulsory annexation of suburbs i'around Oregon cities is not going to be pro vided for by the present Legislature. The committee this week killed a bill which would have given the initiative to cities to at least try to annex populous suburbs where one or more basic city services are being provided. ; So now it's back to the same old problems: JIow can coordinated, well-planned and eco jiomical development of our cities be pro vided for? How can suburban residents be in duced to see that any short-run tax savings .which may accrue to them will in the future be trifling compared with the cost of solving urban area, development problems compound ed by reliance upon make-do interim arrange-, mcnts, or, worse, by almost total lack of co ordinated communal actions. Where populous areas develop in what almost amounts to anarchy, resulting prob lems are inevitable. Such areas come to need sewers, better streets, parks and other "city" 'advantages without having made coordinated, foresighted provision for the economic pro ision of these advantages. Then, at high cost, past oversights must be corrected through She last-resort method: annexation. ; Too few suburban residents realize how i Jill5 I WASHINGTON WASHINGTON (NEA) - Tax- llpayers who sonl in their income ;Jlax returns at Uie last minute shouldn't feel too badly.

Rare is the suburban area which yields sufficient additional city tax revenues to even begin to pay for the reme dies needed. Consequently, this means that long-time city taxpayers actually pick up a big part of the tab for correcting mistakes which were not of their doing which never should have been permitted to pile up on the doorsteps' of their cities. With each passing year, complex commu nal problems surrounding Portland, Eugene, Salem and other growing Oregon cities be come more and more difficult of eventual so lution. The communal cost reckonings, which must someday be faced, keep increasing and at compound interest. This presages the day even though - many suburbanites may now scoff at the idea when city residents will refuse to be "tak en" for the expense of cleaning up and fixing up problem-ridden suburbs. It also presages a time when city residents will seriously ques tion whether they should be twice-taxed, by city and county, if their neighbors in the sub urbs are to be the chief beneficiaries of coun ty expenditures. Something must be done before cities ac tually do disown blighted suburbs and turn, with vengeance, upon county governments which seem to favor areas just beyond their boundaries.

Suppose Castro were to vanish. Who would buy Cuba's sugar and tobacco? And if Cuba regained her U.S. markets, what about those who are now building a vested interest in them?

"Somebody EDSON By PETER EDSON Washington Correspondent Newspaper Enterprise Assn. WASHINGTON (NEA) A drive against disarmament and a nu clear test ban treaty with Soviet Russia has sprung up in various parts of the country as the newest conservative cause.' This move is regarded in part . as a counteraction to "Ban the bomb!" crusaders such as the "Women's Strike for Peace" a group which has been pestering Congress and picketing the White House. But the principal right wing ob jective seems to be repeal of the 11)61 act of Congress creating the U.S. Arms Control and Disarma ment Agency in the State De partment. Now under Director William C. Foster, this agency was given a $0.5 million first-year appropria tion to promote peace. It is ask ing $15 million for the coming year. About $10 million of this would be for research on nuclear explosion detection and verifica tion of arms destruction, if dis armament ever comes. This request for more money has given opponents of disarma ment a new line of attack, as an economy issue. But a group of Republicans headed by R e p. Craig Hosmer, R-Calif., of the Joint Atomic Energy Committee is concentrating on opposition to the proposed test ban treaty as a United States national defense measure. And Rep. James B. Utl, R-Calif., has introduced a resolu tion to abolish the Disarmament Agency, which right wing groups are increasingly in favor of doing.

The most vicious attack has come from a Citizens Congres sional Committee bf Los Angeles. It is a Gerald L. K. Smith Chris tian Nationalist Crusade offshoot run by Charles E: Winegarner, who married Mrs. Smith's niece. Its principal mailing piece, which has been showered down on Congress, is a poster headed "Treason Treaty." It begins: "The President of the United Slates has approved a proposed treaty which would completely disarm the United States of Amer ica. Arms would be transferred to the United Nations and we would come undey1 the authority of a United Nations dictatorship." The broadside goes on to charge that disarmament would mean that Uie Declaration of Independ ence would become obsolete, the American flag would become a second-rate banner, Congress would be reduced to the authority of a state legislature in a world government, and the World Court would supersede the United Slates Supreme Court. Other movements are scattered, but noisy and growing. A "Republican Committee of 100, Inc.," of New York, calls on President Kennedy and Congress to "dissolve this constitutional Arms Control and Disarmament Agency." A Memphis "Committee for the Prevention of Disarmament" is circulating a statement from ex Congressman John Rousselot, R Calif., charging that disarmament is all part of a Communist con spiracy which he traces back to 1 1955.

"Free Enterprise," a Chicago monthly tabloid for which for mer Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson writes a front-page ' column, devotes a full page in its latest issue to blasting State Department publications on dis armament. Other right wing news letters are taking the same line of at tack. Kent and Phoebe Courtney of New Orleans, publishers of "In dependent American," have put out two tax-fact leaflets titled, "Exposing the Appeasers' Plans to Destroy the Army, Navy and Ail- force of t h e U.S.A.," and "Save Our Skybolt Have Plans Been Made to Surrender the U.S. to the Soviet Union?" Texas seems to be the real hot bed of opposition to disarmament, however. Rep. Walter Rogers, D Tex., got so much mail against disarmament that he prepared an answering statement which he headed: "This Country is Not Going to Be Disarmed." To quiet alarms and fears, he points out that any United States disarmament must first be ap proved by congressional majori ties or, if submitted in the form of a treaty, by two-thirds of the Senate. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Scholarships As an interviewer for the Sev en College Conference Scholar ship program, I would like to say that these scholarships are award ed on an honorary basis as well as a financial basis. It is true that most applicants try for a scholarship because of financial need. This is Uie basic reason for the existence of scholarships. However, in the seven eastern women's colleges (Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Welleslevl which make up the Seven Col lege Conference, they want schol ars from the South. Southwest, Midwest,' and Far West regard less of their economic b a c k ground. The honor of winning one of these scholarships transcends the economic reward. Of seventy nine scholarships granted in lflttt, three were honorary, and t h e three all came from the Far West division. I am indeed sorry that Mr. Lemmon, head of the state schol arship program, was unaware of these honorary scholarships. I am also sorry that no girls from Klamath County have applied for a Seven College Conference schol arship so far this year. Perhaps our troubled high school situation has killed the incentive for edu cational striving. Seven College Conference Schol arships arc awarded (or excel lence in academic achievement. These scholarships are not gifts, nor are they bribes. They are competitive awards. Only I h e most gifted, mature, industrious students are encouraged to try for one of thee scholarships be- cause Hie intellectual competition is so fierce. Mrs. Anne T. Knapp. 1 Route 3. Box 1308. For-crying-out-loud Dept.: After my reference to the brain twister Thursday, I plumb overlooked naming the winners of the Klam ath Music Festival tickets for May 14 symphony. It was virtual- -ly impossible to select only one winner, because so many cor rect entries came in at about the. same time. (Actually, I hadn't expected anywhere near as many entries as did come in, and didn't have the proper contest controls set up.) So, I'm going to end any doubts, and give tickets to these persons: Sandra Hicks, Don Derminer, Mr. and Mrs. Mike Wirfs, Ken Moore, Mrs. William H. Francis co and Jeannine, Tom Crabtree, Mrs. Gary Nichols, Curt Cotter, Chaplain and Mrs. Thoresen, Mrs. John Peterson, Marvin Reed, Lin da Neth, Pat Hickey and Sharon Wilson. Incidentally, several persons have asked what the heck is the Klamath Community Music Fes tival. Well, it's an activity planned for May 14 at Mills Auditorium. Object Is to raise money to buy music, materials and equipment for a proposed Klamath Community Symphony. A group of musicians and in terested onlookers has joined forces to see if we can't or ganize a small symphony group in Klamath Falls under the di rection of ' the able Normand Poulshock. They are staging a music festival which will have some of the community's ablest musicians on the program. You'll be hearing and reading about the details subsequently. I can't tell a b flat from a tub-thumper, but I think the idea of forming a community sympho ny is one of the most meritorious projects we could undertake. -Such an organization would give the youngsters graduating from high school music courses an opportu nity to continue with their chosen instruments in group music. It also gives those adults of the community who are musicians (some are wonderfully talented) a chance to pursue a wonderful By FULTON LEWIS JR. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. won a Pulitzer Prize for history at age 28. He is advised here to ac quaint his boss, the President, with the case of Major General Arthur St. Clair, for there are lessons to be learned. St. Clair was sent into tb.8 wilderness by President Washing ton in 1791, with orders to bring an end to a series of Indian raids along the Ohio-Indiana bor der. On Nov. 3, 1791, St. Clair was ambushed by Indians who wiped out nearly half his contingent of 1,400 troops. Several months later, in t h e spring of 1792, Congress named a siecial committee to investigate fully the humiliating, disastrous defeat. The committee demanded of President Washington all rel evant papers and reports. For several days the President and his Cabinet mulled over the request, well aware of the impor tant precedent tliey would sel. In the end, they agreed to co operate fully with Congress. Aft er a thorough investigation, the investigators discovered that mis management and a breakdown in supply lines had led to the defeat. More than 170 years later, the Congress of the United States is interested in another military fi asco, the Bay of Pigs invasion of April. 1961. But the present Ad ministration has declined to co operate and has refused to give any information about the inva sion. Congressional leaders have at tempted without success to ques tion Gen. Maxwell Taylor, chair man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the Bay of Pigs. Taylor, points out Congressman Gerry rord, should know more about the invasion than anyone else. At the President's request Taylor di rected a top-level investigation into all phases of the operation. He had the cooperation of every branch of government. On Feb. 7, Congressman Ford, ranking Republican on the House Defense Appropriations Subcom mittee, asked Taylor about the invasion. He received no response. Ford explained that he was only trying to do his job: "To get the facts, study them, and help pass laws and appropriate funds for the government's op eration." Taylor refused to budge. He did not say that disclosure of the hilormation would violate securi ty. He said iitead that it would NOTHING SPECIAL IW. B. S.I hobby.- I'm hopeful the entire community will get behind those who seek organization of a symph ony here. Many people want to give small donations to the proposed community hospital in the nature of memorials to a loved one who has died, or similar purpose, apart from their regular dona tions. You can do this easily by sending these memorials to Mrs. Eleanor Elders, 1338 Pacific Ter race. Mrs. Killers is secretary of the Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital Association. What I'm re ferring to here should not be con fused with the donations to the project. I'm referring to the smaller-type memorial gifts. Quick, now: can you name Oregon's 36 counties? Or the SO states of the union? If so, can you place their geographi 1c relationship? I just wonder if most Klamath ites are aware of the terrific sig nificance of the Basin's beef in dustry to our economic liveli hood? I hope to find time this summer to mosey around the Basin and call on some of the ranchers. In pictures and stories, we want to bring to you the im portant role the beef industry plays in" our welfare. From what I've seen of their respective budgets, and the ex planations for allocation of the various items in the budgets, I'm hopeful that voters in School Districts 1 and 2 will get out and vote in favor of the money requests. Education in Klamath Falls is taking quite a kicking around, and we can't afford to continue on the road to second class (or worse) education. I'm just as determined as anyone to resist excessive or unwarranted expenditures of money for a n y purpose. But, there is every rea son to believe that educators, the budget committess and the school boards have made every effort to keep their requests at necessary levels, and it is pret ty hard to find a budget item that is not defensible. WASHINGTON REPORT . . . ' President Fails To Heed History Lesson "result in another highly contro versial divisive public discussion which would be damaging to all parties concerned." He acted on instructions from President Ken nedy, who calls the case "closed." Here, incidentally, are the no ble words of John Kennedy in January, 1961: "For my part I shall withhold from neither the Congress nor the people any fact or report, past, present or future, which is , necessary for an informed judg ment of our conduct and haz ards." To date, there is one official version of the disaster, that given by Attorney General Robert Ken nedy to the Knight Newspapers and to "U.S. News and World Report" in January. That version is hotly disputed. Several people in the know have labeled untrue Robert Kennedy's assertion that air support was never promised to the rebels. An Alabama pilot, Albert Persons, who was involved in the invasion, said air support was promised, then withdrawn: "The results, of course, were disastrous." ' Anti-Castro refugee leaders, in cluding Antonio de Varona, vice president of the Cuban Revolu tionary Council, agreed. A Flori da editor. Jack Gore of the Fort Lauderdale News, asserted that President Kennedy himself told an off-the-rccord luncheon that he had withdrawn air cover. The complete story is not and cannot be known until President Kennedy takes a leaf from his tory and learns, as did George Washington, that frankness is the best policy.
