In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
In an editorial page piece the
other day, the Eugene Register
Guard found occasion lo comment
on the tendency of EDUCATED
people to string it out too long
when they write letters especial
ly letters for publication.
In its piece, it offered this com
ment: "Unfortunately, the educated
man has two strikes against him.
Too often, he knows so much
about a subject that he can't
write about it in fewer Uian a few
thousand words.
"fetters (intended for publica
tionlhat are most often returned
i by editors) because of length are
letters of well educated people
who just couldn't stop writing.
These writers just do not realize
that a short letter that makes its
point quickly is many times as
effective as a long, involved let
ter that goes unread.
"When a reader puts aside a
long article 'to read when I have
time' he has moved thai article
one step nearer the garbage can."
Voltaire, who is listed by most
of the critics as one of the lit
erary GREATS of all time, put
the importance of brevity and clar
ity about as well as it has ever
been put when he said in a let
ter to a friend:
"I hope you will pardon this
long letter. I am verv busy today
and I HAVEN'T TIME to write
a short one."
It takes time to write so brief
ly and so clearly that NO ONE
can fail to grasp the meaning ofl
what has been written.
Another of the great practition
ers ot Brevity and clarity wasi
Abraham Lincoln. His Gettysburg
address has been called the only
great prose poem of classical per
fection in modern English. Yet it
contains only 267 words in ten sen
tences. But Lincoln chose those 267
simple, noble words with such
care that NO ONE, even to this
day, a century after they were
spoken, can fail to be thrilled and
inspired by them.
There is a strange tradition that
Lincoln wrote his Gctlyshurg ad
dress on the back of an envelope
on his way by train to the Getty
burg battlefield.
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. He made FIVE hand
written dralts of it. It was the
second of the five that he finally
chose as the one that most clearly
expressed his deep feeling.
Battlefield, consecrated and gov
ernment are three of the longest
words he used. But these were cs
sential to the thought he wanted
to convey. If you will re read his
immortal Address, you must come
to the conclusion that not a single
word could have been left out
without clouding his meaning.
In Hamlet 'Act II. Scene II
William Shakespeare, one of the
Great Masters of the English lan
guage. causes Polnnius to say to
the Queen:
"Therefore, since brevity is the!
soul of wit.
"And tediousness the limbs and
Ojward flourishes.
"I will be brief. Your noble son
is mad."
So-
There's no doubt that the Regis
ter-Guard is rieht in Its advice
to letter writers.
If you want 'em read, make
'cm short.
And to the point

Rock Wall
In Berlin
BERLIN (UP I) - Anti-Communists
rocked Berlin's Red-built
wall with explosives Saturday in
an apparent gesture of defiance
against Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
Khrushchev arrived in Commu
nist East Berlin Friday and was
expected to hold an Eastern bloc
summit leaders meeting there
early this week.
The explosion blew a hole about
two feet by seven feet through the
six-feet-high wall at a point about
25(1 yards from the Checkpoint
Charlie crossing point between
W est and East Berlin and only a
half mile from the Soviet Em
bassy.
It was doubtful whether Khrush
chev heard the explosion, how
ever. He was visiting a machine
tool factory in East Berlin at the
time.
This was the 17th explosion at
the w all since it was built Aug. 13.
19111.
This latest blow at Communist
prestige followed a cool reception
given to Khrushchev when he ar
rived in East Berlin Friday.
The Communist-controlled East
German press attempted in huge
Red headlines to claim it was a
"triumph for peace." But West
ern newsmen and the West Berlin
newspapers Mere unanimous in
agreeing thai as a show intended
apparently to "out-Kennedy Ken
nedy" it was a flop.
Two satellite Communist lead
ers arrived in East Berlin Satur
day morning. They were Ctech

LONDON lUPI i Russian naval
Capt. Eugene Ivanov has been
under "house arrest" in Moscow
since June 21 while Soviet author
ities conduct their own investiga
tion of his role in the Profumo
scandal, diplomatic sources said
today.
Reports from Moscow said the
former London Naval attache is
being held in a modern villa
used for the interrogation of im
portant prisoners. It is regarded
as a halfway house between free
dom and formal imprisonment.
Ivanov was suspended from the
Communist party a week before
he was taken to the villa, the re
ports said, and given "leave"
from the Navy Ministry, where
had been working since his
return from London in December.
The sources said Ivanov is be
ing cited as a horrible example
by "old school Soviet diplomats
who maintain that a Soviet rep
resentative abroad should have

LYNCH PARTY When retiring Rotary Club president
Frank Ganong was receiving the plaudits of a number of
speakers at the final meeting of his term Friday noon, this

County Civil Defense On Part Time
The civil defense program in
Klamath County officially be
comes deemphasized at 8 a.m.,
tomorrow, July I. when the coun
ty olfiie of civil defense begins
operating pn,a part time basis lor
the first time since it became
established six years ro.
The CD Office has been rele
gated lo a somewhat perfunctory
status as the result of an W.000
slash made in the CD budget by
tlie County Budget Committee
ior fiscal year W63-64. which
starts tomorrow. The CD office
had been operating on an annual
budget close to $11,000, but this
year its operating funds have
been pared to $3,359.
In the fiscal wake of t:ie scut
tled CD program has gone Coun
ty Civil Defense Director Joe
Searles. head of the olnce since
its establishment in 1937. Searles
has declined to continue in the
present post on a part time basis.
Civil Defense is a lull time
business and I cannot compro
mise any part of the program,
which would be necessary if it
continues under the plan now in
effect," Searles said.
The duties of the post have
been passed on to County Pur
chasing Agent Jim Watson, 24,
who will serve as part lime CD
director in addition to his regu
lar purchasing work.
As Watson viewed the assign
ment the new program will be
more of a holding action than one
of deemphasis.
Watson said he will seek to

Tension
MOSCOW (UP!) - The Soviet
Union has expelled five Chinese
Communists, including three dip
lomats, it was disclosed Satur
day. The unprecedented action
brought Sino-Suviet relations to
the gloves-olf stage.
Peking, which disclosed the So
viet action, said tlie Kremlin act
ed because three members of its
Moscow Embassy staff distrib
uted copies of a June 14 attack
on Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
hev's coexistence policies an
attack not printed in the Soviet
press.
The Chinese said tlie Soviet ac
tion in declaring the five Chinese
persona non grata was "unrea
sonable" and that the excuse was
untenable." Observers said such
an expulsion would Jmoeril the
Sino-Soviet peace talks scheduled
for July 6 lo heal the breach be
tween the two Communist giants.
Peking identified tlie five Chi
nese as embassy staff members
Mei Wei-kang, Lu Pei-Hsin and
Wang Yao-tuiig. It said Moscow
also asked the recall of Liu Tao
yu, a Chinese post graduate stu
dent, and Yao Yi, an "institute
functionary."
The attack on Khrushchev s
policies was contained in a 67-
page letter from the Chinese Cen
tral Committee to tlie Russians.
It warned that capitalism would
"bury" communism if Khrush
chev's policies were followed.
The reported expulsion of the
Chinese from Moscow has not
been confirmed officially here but
lit became a foregone conclusion
after the Soviets had branded the
abusive Chinese letter as contain
ing "unjustified slanderous at
tacks" against the Soviet Commu
nist party-
A snecial reso uflon .of the So-
k. Central Committee which
concluded its plenary session last
neck, after hearing Khrush-
chev's accusation that the Chi
nese has "aggravated the Sino-
Soviet dispute to the limit," re-
jected the letter and refused to
accept Peking s challenge that It
be published.
Enough is enough, the So-
ie(s said in effect, and further
accused tlie Chinese of violation
of an agreement not to jeopar-
dize the July Sino-Soviet meeting
by continuing public polemics.
Tlie Chinese Embassy here
completely ignored tlie Soviet
protest against tlie distribution ol
what it considered a "scurrilous
letter, and continued to dissemi
nate it among hundreds of Soviet
organizations, the diplomatic
corps, the universities and lor
eign correspondents.
At the same time Peking Radio
maintained a barrage of Russian
language broadcasts beamed at
the Soviet Union in an effort to
woo away the Soviet people from
their leaders whom the Chinese
consider "un-Marxisti."
Such distribution of anti-Soviet
materials is incompatible with
normal diplomatic practice, So
viet sources said In explanation
of the ouster of three minor
olficials of tlie Chinese Embassy
and two graduate students.
The deterioration of Sino-Soviet
relatioins has appeared to reach
almost at a point of no-return en
hancing the likelihood of a mo
mentous schism of the Commu
nist bloc into two conflicting
camps.
