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

unfair this is to taxpayers within the cities
to whom they finally turn with their accumu
lated troubles. 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.

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.

Left the 'Big Steel'
IN WASHINGTON
Disarm Battle Looming
the rising campaign against dis
armament efforts.
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. He declares that the RS-70
slowdown and the Skybolt aban-

donment by the Department of

this conspiracy.
"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.

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

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

community will get behind those

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

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.

President Fails To

"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.
