Paging The Oldtimers
Another era has ended.
Modern innovation has finally caught
up with the obsolete, cumbersome sysiem ot
city ordinances which were used to govern
the actions of the residents of Klamath
j Falls,
i
! The city recently accepted a small
i compact booklet of 573 pages which not
! only summarizes all the. currently existing
J city ordinances, but clarifies the wording
j on many of them, and eliminated many.
The cost to the taxpayer ran Into a few
thousand dollars, but it was a long overdue
overhauling.
However, we note with some mild as
tonishment that no longer docs the city
outlaw certain types of dancing as it did
under the old set of ordinances.
A furore was raised a few years back

peal of the ordinance which outlawed such
dances as the Turkey Trot, the Moonlight
Waltz and others while still permitting such
dances as the twist or jitterbugging.
However, this was never done and the
law remained on the books.
Specifically, it staled, "To prohibit any
person or persons to engage in any immoral
dance or dances commonly known or termed
or designated as the Turkey Trot; Rag

I would like to write to each

The new codification eliminates all
reference to types of dancing, merely clari
fying the hours for dancing, the licenses re
quired and the circumstances.
This is probably all well and good, but
it serves to raise two questions.
First, the new codification should be
examined carefully to determine just how
much latitude the Michie Company took with
other ordinances of long standing in the
city.
We have no doubt that the company was
well qualified for the job, and has un
doubtedly modernized ordinances and made
them applicable to today's times, but let's
make certain.
Our second point may not be so easily
answered, but perhaps there are some old
timers who could explain to us what the
dances such as Heads Together, the Walk
Back, the Rough Dance and the Rag Dance
were. What made them so immoral?
Maybe we can revive an old dance rage
and get rid of the twist or whatever it is
they're dancing these days.
To The Editor
uate student pays the extra fee
just tlie same as everyone else
who is a non-resident. In Wash
ington it amounts to $r00 a year
for non-residents and $300 f o r
residents, a difforence of $.100
per year. In California the dlt
erence is even greater, be
cause residents pay $120 per
year and those from out - of
state pay $020, or $500 more per ,
year.
As I understand the Oregon
tuition, the in-state student pays
$330 a year and tlie out-of-state
, student pays $900, except that
the out-of-state graduate s t u
dent has the extra fees waived.

not tell me how many were

ticularly so when educational
leaders are talking about
charging even higher rates.
Why is this done? Our edu
cational leaders say some stu
dents may be forced out of
school by higher rates, yet they
let one group of students go to
our schools $1 million cheaper
each year than their own
schoolmates.
I also remember last year
they raised the out of stale

Goldwater Draft Moving
By HARRY FERGUSON
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Any
body who doubts Sen. Barry
Goldwater's appeal to millions
of voters should visit the Na
tional Draft Goldwater head
quarters here. The mail and
tlie money pour in from ail
over the country and petitions
asking Goldwater to run for
President, accompanied by $1,
already have produced $70,000.
This is a voluntary organiza
tion, formed without Goldwa
ter's advice or consent, and is
headed by Peter O'Donnell, an
investment business man from
Dallas, Tex., who also is state
Republican chairman. On July
4 O'Donnell staged a Goldwater
rally at the National Guard
Armory here with an audience
of 9,000 persons from 44 stales.
Another source of income for
(lie committee is tlie sale of
campaign supplies. You can
buy Goldwater auto bumper
stickers, color posters, copies of
the senator's books, ball point
pens, lapel buttons, pictures of
Goldwater in all shapes and
sizes and necktie clasps. The
committee has 14 regular em
ployes, lots of volunteer help
ers and occupies office space on
Connecticut Avenue for which it
pays $1,000 a month rent.
Officially, Goldwater docs not
recognize this organization and
will not do so until he is ready
, to announce his candidacy for
the nomination. It can be asJ
sumed, however, that O'Donnell
can get the senator on the tele
phone any time he has some
thing important to discuss.
Leaving out the activities of
the Draft Goldwater Committee
tlie senator's presidential cam
paign until recently was a hap
hazard affair.
In recent weeks all that has
been changed. William Flytho,
a former newspaper man, has
been installed as speech writer
and general assistant to Gold
water's hard pressed press sec
retary, Tony Smith. Denison
Kitchcl, whose official title is
manager of the Goldwater Cam
paign for lie-election to the Sen
ate, have moved from Phoenix
to Washington and is beginning
to think on a national scale.
One of Kitcliel's projects is
to compile a microfilm library
of what Goldwater has said in
two books, 800 speeches, count
less press conferences and nu
merous television interviews
and speeches. It will be card
"We were all living in dingy
rooming houses, and we were
pretty miserable. All of us come
from small towns where we
knew everybody and had plenty
of social life. Here we had noth

work and decided lo take this
place.

decent place, things were bet

thing lo do evenings. Watching

subject and to whom he said it.
This is a precaution against
Goldwater being forced to sit
down and eat an unpalatable
meal consisting of his own
words.
The latest to join the Cold
water camp is Edward A. Mc
Cabc, a 45-ycar-old Washington
lawyer who was an administra
tive assistant to President Ei
senhower from 1956 to 1960. His
title will be research director
and he will assemble a group '
of consultants to advise Gold

ST. LOUIS With all of tlie
South gone this is the private
admission of Democrats at the
highest level when they consid

States such as Missouri take on
the utmost importance.
President Kennedy carried
the state in 1960 by just under
10.000 votes. At the same time
Gov. John Dalton, a Democrat,
was elected with a majority
of around 300,000. That whop
ping difference is attributed to
the religious issue in Protestant
out-state Missouri, which is nor
mally Democratic in the tradi
tion of tlie South.
Soundings show that the reli
gious issue will not be a factor
next year, the President having
bent over backward to avoid
any semblance of partisanship.
The award to the President by
tlie Protestant Council of the
City of New York the first
lime a Roman ' Catholic has
ever received such an award
was one bit of evidence.
But if tlie specter of the reli

Crimes of violence, especially
muggings or yokings, as they
call them in the district have
become so prevalent that police
officials have advised citizens
to stay off tlie street at night
unless they absolutely have to

California, heads a Goldwater
advisory committee on the West
Coast.
It is impossible to estimate
the total amount of money that
is being donated to the Goldwa

Committee says it needs much
more money than it is receiv

a political organization yet
naive enough to concede it had
all the financial backing it
wanted.
South Lost To Dems
Needless to say, this is the
racial conflict and the grow
ing urgency and impatience
of Negro leaders to close the
gap between white and Negro
standards in every field.
Sit-down demonstrators de

Bank and Trust Company here
were arrested and given sen
fences of a year in jail and sub
stantial fines after they violat

turned their fire on City Hall

Alliance Becoming
Big Gaseous Fraud
By WILLIAM S. WHITE
WASHINGTON The Alli
ance for progress, the most
generous program for the safe
ty and health of Latin America
ever to come from the mind of
man, is rapidly becoming in
stead a gaseous fraud.
It is not succeeding. It is not
halfway succeeding. It is not
quarter-way succeeding. It is,
in fact, a dead dream this pro
posal for the expenditure of 20
billion American dollars in the
next 10 years to shore up the
economy and the physical secu
rity of our neighbors to the
south.
In return for all this we have
asked not one foot of anybody's
territory; not one dime's worth
of anybody's favored treatment
in trade; not one ounce of any
body's special loyalty to the
United States. We have asked
only that the recipients of this
American largesse make honest
efforts to end both right-wing
rich-bossism and left-wing Cas
troism in Latin America. B u t
while the Latins are willing to
take our money, they are not
willing to take cither our ad
vice or the bare minimal pre
conditions we have laid down
for this proposed outpouring of
the wealth of the United States.
That the dream was fading
had long been apparent in the
sour snail's pace in Latin
America's part of the bargain.
That the dream has now actual
ly died has been made perfect- .
ly plain in two developments in
the two most powerful countries
in South America.
In Argentina the government
of President Arturo Illia pro
ceeds to the repudiation of oil
be found to fill a half-dozen
jobs in the bank.
As city officials try to cope
with the situation and ease the
tensions they are aware of
shifting attitudes that may in
the not-too-distant future in
crease their troubles. What they
sense is a rising resentment
among those who have occupied
the middle ground of indiffer
ence on the race question. We
won't have lawlessness and vio
lencethis is how solid citizens
who have not concerned them
selves with the issue one way
or the other arc said to be re
ading. If this is, in fact, happening
in St. Louis with its large Ne
gro minority, what about out
stale where tlie traditionalist
approach on relations between
the two races has so long pre
vailed? One answer is the
growing number of Goldwater
bumper stickers in the boot-heel
counties of Missouri's Little
Dixie. Knowledgeable Dem
ocrats have been s.-ying for
some time that if the election
were today Senator Goldwater
could carry the state against
President Kennedy.
That may be only the panicky
reaction of officeholders w h o
tend to magnify graveyard
whispers into roars of popular
protest. But they have another
reason for concern in the entry
in the political lists of a new
comer. Ethan A. H. Shcpley, a
leading citizen, former chair
man of the Federal Reserve
Board of St. Louis and former
chancellor of Washington Uni
versity, is running for tile Re
publican nomination for gov
ernor. Already in the thick of a
state-wide campaign, he speaks
with incisive vigor of the need
to build a party organization
from the ground up in a state
that, to all intents and purpos
es, in recent years has had a
one-party sysiem. As Ihe. Re
publican nominee, taking o u I
after the Democratic machines
in Kansas City and St. Louis.
Shepley would attract independ
ent voters.
On the other hand. Sen. Stu
art Symington, up for reelec
tion next year, has proved such
a potent vote-getter that in the
past the problem has been to
find someone to run against
him. That is tlie current dil
emma of Republicans who ad
mit privately he is probably un
beatable (or a third term.
If with tlie South gone, or
most of it as Democratic stra
tegists add and therefore states
carried narrowly in 1960 must
be held ii is just as imper
ative to add other states that
were narrowly lost. One is Ken
tucky, normally Democratic,
which Richard Nixon carried by
80.000 votes. But there the re
cent election indicated a close
division over the race issue.
These are the imponderables
being weighed in Washington
and around the country as '64
approaches.
contracts in which United
States companies have tied up
$300 millions in a brilliant re
storation of a national oil indus
try. Now that it is restored, it
is to be taken over by Argenti
na in brazen international thie
very. (And this is the country
which, along with all others in
Latin America, had so long
clamored for "the help of
American investment.")
In Brazil President Joao Gou
lart covertly sneers at the Al
liance for Progress, in the very
meeting called to consider its
work, and neglects even to
mention Ihe contributions of the
United States to Latin-American
stability. Instead, he calls
on the Latin countries to unite
among themselves which ra
ther leaves us out to pro
mote their "own" trade and
aid.
If what is now undeniably
happening in Brazil and the Ar
gentine will not convince our
reformers at home that we are
on the wrong track in Latin
America and long have
been surely nothing will. Four
successive American adminis
trations Roosevelt's, TriJ
man's, Eisenhower's, and now
Kennedy's have proceeded
on a fatal assumption based
upon exaggerated past Ameri
can guilt for a long-vanished
era of "American gunboat dip
lomacy" in that part of the
world.
Because a lifetime ago we
did. indeed, sometimes push the
Latin Americans around it has
been concluded that we must
pay for these old sins even un
to the second, the third and the
fourth generation. Essentially
American policy has been this:
Since Latin America is poor
and backward, the United
Slates is exclusively to blame.
Ergo, we must shovel out aid
and yet more aid. But we must
never demand much for it in
return, not even a decent re
spect from the beneficiaries.
So we have gone on year on
year swallowing Latin
insults and Latin ineptitude;
and, in Cuba, swallowing the
establishment in this very hem
isphere of an armed and hostile
Communist state. Why? Be
cause, having tireless regard to
our past sins, we must never,
never "intervene in the affairs"
of the countries to the south.
How, then, do we get off the
wrong road and onto the right
road? Well, we begin by con
sidering our own interests, an
awareness that Latin "liking"
for us is vapidly worthless un
til it is preceded by Latin re
spect for us. We begin by
cracking down on seizures of
American investments made in
good faith. We proceed by in
sisting upon our right and our
unavoidable duty lo lead this
hemisphere, not merely to bank
roll it like some soft, indulgent
good-time Yankee sugar daddy.
This is the only way that can
end in strength and honorable
candor in this hemisphere. And
it is the only way that could,
jusl possibly, end at length also
in the defeat of the forces of
political disunion and economic
chaos that are playing into So
viet hands.
