STANTON We have read criticisms recently by some of our politi cal columnists of congressional "junkets" to Europe and Asia. The.e critics seem to feel that congressmen could per form a better service if they remained at home instead of trave'ing abroad at taxpayer expense. , But the critics will find a vigorous and convincing op ponent in U. S. Senator Guy Cordon of Itoseburg. "To properly represent this country in Congress a man must travel over the world. He can't sit at home," Senator Cordon declares. . "Our domestic problems are not insoluble," the sena tor continued in a conversation we had with him recently. "But, when we take the impact on our own economy of unsettled world' conditions, we come face to face with questions that must be decided on a worldwide scale." Senator Cordon, we believe, has furnished an irrefutable answer to critics of congressional inquiries abroad. The United States has been forced into a position of world leadership. We didn't seek this responsibility. We would have preferred to remain in our former state of iso lation, where we were not forced to worry about what might be happening elsewhere. In fact, we still have many people, some of them in positions of influence and leadership, who refuse to recognize the very obvious fact that there is no escape from international responsibility, unless we uncon ditionally surrender to those forces anxious to seize controls for subversive purposes. Accurate Information Necessary ' As Senator Cordon ppints out, we can make no domes tic decision without affecting our international relations. It becomes imperative, then, that members of Congress have a thorough and intimate understanding of International af fairs and take into consideration the effect decisions at home will have abroad. The senator also contends that Congress should not base its decisions upon second-hand information. Cordon, in fact, can be considered somewhpt of a pioneer in congressional probing abroad. On one of these early trips, arranged by an administra tion bureau, the delegation was being given what Cordon describes as a "Cook's tour." The schedule had been neatly arranged and timed to the minute. Congressmen were shown things the bureau wanted them to see and were given information the bureau wanted them to have. Then they were shuttled around to meet the host nation's officialdom and sit in. at entertainments in their honor. - Through some mysterious (?) circumstance, Sena tor Cordon became separated from others of the g r o u p. Despite frantic search, he could not be immediately lo cated. But instead of talking to the men the bureau had slated as spokesmen, Cordon was making his own inves tigation. He was talking to American workers in the field, and to the common people in the country he was visiting. He also found a man well stocked with reliable information. While the senator was supplying this individual with the first square meal he had had in five years, Cordon gathered some facts, which, the CopreK.innal Recnvi shows, forced the bureau to make some revisions. Original Fact Finding Important Congress should check the information it receives by gathering information firsthand, Cordon declares. "Ii' Congress must pass upon domestic and International questions and issues, it must have original facts," he be lieves. "It must not take its answers solely from a parti san source. While we have a two-party, government, we must expect to receive our information from the party in power. That means the party in control of foreign relations. It means we can be spoon-fed on information, But we should not havo spoon-fed judgement." The critical condition of world affairs today demands that Congress must have ALL the facts not just the facts the administration wants it to have. To obtain those facts congressmen must gather them at firsthand and can only do so through travel, contacts and observation, says the senator. The senator, we believe, has a sound argument. We are new in this game of world affairs. We have formerly left the job of world policeman to Groat Britain. The British gov ernment was trained through many years of experience. We have virtually no experience. We were totally unprepared for the position .of world leadership suddenly thrust upon lis. Our particular form of government is not immediately adaptable to the job at hand, particularly when filled with constant political bickering, distrust and lack of confidence at home. The decisions are so important to the world's future that we must have complete and accurate information. This in formation can best be gained by independent and origi , nal research. Eventually we will build up fact-finding sources in which we can have confidence. But we cannot rely upon information from an administration which places politics anead of everything else. Consequently, critics of congressional Inquiries abroad must be suspected cither of failing to analyze the situation correctly or being members of the administration's propa ganda quad or its innocent victims. Yep! That Season Will Soon Be Upon Us! ENDING BASKET Friday afternoon was a lot of fun tor me because I visited sev eral grades in the Drain school, and, as 1 Bat with the young moth ers, memory took me back to the days when I, too, was a young mother enjoying all the activities of two small boys and their friends. Hoys of (He upner grades greeted the guests at the entrance and fien escorted them to the room desired. I said "Mrs. Coons' room" to John Wertz because it was Jo sephine Coons' friendly urging that had brought me there. But her sis ter's door was open, so first thing I knew I was in Paulina Brown's room listen to the adeventures of Mrs. Mallard and her eight ducklings as pictured in "Make Way for Ducklings" by Robert He Closkey (Caldecolt prize winner, you know, several years ago.) The story held the children nihrailed. Mrs. Brown was enioyicg it loo, and so did visitors. W. Y2j noThim4Bettej? I Boy Tries Radio Inspired Holdup, Ends Up In Tears PORTLAND m "I didn't really want the money; J just wanted to use the gun." That is what a tearful 10-year-old boy told police who questioned him following his unsuccessful attempt to hold up a Portland grocer. "You hear these guys on the ra dio pulling these jobs and it seems real easy like. I just wanted to see if it was," the boy explained. The grocer, John E. Myers, was quoted by police saying the boy masked with a red bandana en tered his store and, pointing a loaded 38-caliber revolver at him, said: "This is a holdup. Put the money in a sack or I'll shoot you." Myers started to hand the money to the boy with one hand but with the other he grabbed the boy's gun hand. After a brief struggle, he subdued the lad, a sixth grader, and called police. The boy said he got the gun from an 11-year-old companion who bad taken it from his home. He was turned over to juvenile authorities. Mrs. Coons was accompanying ne lust graders in the adven tures of Alice and Jerry and their dog Jip. What attractive reading books the children do navel What fun learning to read can be I Next i stopped in Mrs. inns' room where an exciting game was made of learning to spell and write the numbers. 1 doubt if one child suspected the game was a drill. They wrote the numbers in the air wilh a finger, with talk about dot ting the "l's" if anyone forgot. They did all sorts of things, and then tlie drill was broken by a little song which was a refresher after sitting still, rrally an exer cise. In Mrs. Sherman's room the topic was kites and why it gets harder and harder to fly them in town . . . really a reading lesson in "How Do We Know." Miss Settle's pupils were cutting red and green turkeys out of pa per. Guess why? In all the rooms one saw much about Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims, and thoughts about gratitude. A young neighbor, Bar bara Wills, was in Uiat group. In Miss Dixon's room 1 found Jennie and Bonnie Lynn, two lit tle friends. Bonnie, my nearest neighbor, aged 8V4, took1 prompt charge of me. Within five minutes she had seated me, introduced me to another guest exactly as her mother would have done, supplied me with a book, given me a peek at a Camp Fire box of candy with the remark that I would be paying her fifty cents for that, had invited me to ride home with her in a half hour from then, as soon as her mother had had tea . . and all the while she never missed a trick while the teacher was read ing from "White Buffalo." A trifle breathless, I said farewell to Bonnie Lynn and joined her mother In tea-drinking in the gym nasium where the older girls were serving tea with the poise of grownups!

PERFECTLY capable of taking care of himself if the going gets rough. Able to finish anything he may start. We all have a lot of respect for people of that sort. Anyway, that is the way we should conduct ourselves in this frightfully important conflict with communist Russia. We mustn't get the feeling that war is 1 N E V I TABLE and so the quicker we get it started and get it over with the belter off we will be. One of the clearest, plainest les sens of historv is that ALMOST NEVER IS ANYBODY BETTER OFF FOR STARTING A WAR We must be wise enough and ' tolerant enough and confident enough of our own position to be willing to talk with Russia about any subject that may come up and we must be smart enough to see to it that in such talks we don't get It put all over us. And we must be STRONG ENOUGH to take care of ourselves in any emergency that may arise, j But we mustn't be hot headed or trigger happy or inclined to go off at half-cock. That could be the end of everything. " WASHINGTON Senator Pat McCarran's internal se curity sub-committee of the Senate has uncovered an astounding- document that makes a mockery today of our counter-espionage efforts to pierce the Iron Curtain. Senator Pat McCarran helped i . , Carter along by inserting in the I department, natura ly, but Carter record one ol carter a direcuves ul . sw mm wneuever uiey wauitu iu. promising as he looks on paper, "11-If Tamagna turns out to be as him whenever they wanted to. send him to Rome to undertake a study there on lines similar to Miss Moore's study in Mocow, return ing at the end of 8 months to give 6 months collaboration with the group under the direction of Cor bett, Sasm, Holland and Alex ander." Carter ordered others moved to various countries, including India, where the contact was to be Nehru. In effect. Carter was mobilizing his "scholars" for war. It was ex pensiv, but the Rockefeller fpun dation was slated to pick up the check. William W. Lockwood, head of the American Committee for Inter national Studies, had asked Carter to set up the globe trotting sched ule. Lockwood is an IPR pal of Harriet Moore; Frederick V. Field, the Commusist now residing in jail, and a-passcl of others who have ducked answering the $64 question whenever they hear it asked. This, of course, is only part of the IPR picture. But even so. It s the most interesting group of "scholars" of which I've ever heard. Don t you think so, too? to a group that included Commu. nists and suspected soviet espion age agents. Carter was secretary of the IPK in May of 1940, when he wrote the order dispatching more than ' 30 of the institute's "scholars" to various sensitive spots around the globe, including the Politburo in Moscow. As noted herein last week, Hitler and Stalin were buddies at the time and It was almost impossible for an ordinary American to get to Moscow. Yet Carter sent his secretary, Harriet Moore, to in spect Kremlin files and to chat with Soviet leaders. Miss Moore has been described as a Commu nist by witnesses appearing before the McCarran subcommittee. She has denied it, but if she isn't one she ought to tell U. S. Intelli gence agencies her secret for gain ing access to Kremlin files. The Russians were just as sore at us in 1940 as they are today. I've listed four paragraphs of Carter's directive, including one ordering Dr. Philip Jessup to the Orient for three months, although Jessup had a job teaching at' Co lumbia university at the time. I'll start now wilh paragraph number 7 of Carter's directive: "Discover whether there is one wise and great man in Manila and have him spend three months on the project in Manila, a month each in Chungking and Tokyo and then bring him, preferably by way of the Trans-Siberian railway, to collaborate with the groups here." This is an interesting example of how ll'R's "scholars" could globe trop even in Communist ter ritory where every stranger was a suspected spy.
