WHAT COMES NEXT?

Charles V. Stanton
As a military strategist General E.senhower demonstrat
ed remarkable ability to pick the right time and plac to t
tack the enemy at his most vulnerable spot. He apparently
is bringing that same ability into the political battles.
With complete accuracy in his speech at Abilene he
pinpointed the weaknesses of the present administration,
fauSg attacks simultaneously on lour fronts - di.umty,
inflation; excessive taxes and overcentral.zation of govern-
m6nEisenhower left himself wide open to counterattack.
Terhaps it was a cagey piece of strategy. Were we an op
posing politician, we would think twice before moving into
the 'j"3- aced himscf in the pOSition of the person who
declares himself to be against sin without saying what he
..I J J- 1 It '
He pointed out the administration's long-standing policy ,
then Dlavinsr one against
the other and profiting politically by favoritism to the
croup representing the most votes. He attacked inflation
which, "unless brought under control, eventually leads to
depression." He struck at excessive taxes that only a
little below the confiscatory will destroy free government.
Our bureaucracy, he Raid, is "manned by experts in self
perpetuation and ceaseless expansion."
Policy Declaration Needed
It is one thing to point out the obvious. That the gen
eral accomplished in a most forceful manner. It is another
thing, however, to prescribe the methods by which evils
may be remedied. Ike left the intimation that, recognizing
the evils, he would correct them but he failed to tell us how,
he would accomplish these things.
Doubtless his political opponents will move into the open
ings in his battle formation. Maybe that is exactly what
the general anticipates. He has said he doesn't plan to cam
paign ahead of the nominating convention. His speech at
Abilene, however, sounded to us like a blistering campaign
offering. But, if his critics start throwing punches at his
open stance, he will be in "an excellent position to counter
punch without being charged with violating his no-campaign
position.
Having heard hit analysis of our national ills, we now
want to hear the nature of the remedies he proposes. We
hope his opponents force him into policy declarations. We
rather imagine that is exactly what the general has in mind.
Positive Campaign Indicated
We have been exceedingly interested in the type of ma
terial coming from the publicity departments of the rival
camps of Taft and Eisenhower.
Taft forces have been slinging mud in all directions.
They have attempted to smear Ike, the administration and
every policy other than their own. The primary campaigns
have been accompanied by scurrilous rumors and stories
directed against Ike. There is no evidence, of course, that
these attacks emanated from Taft's headquarters, but neither
nas mere Deen repudiation irom liiui source.
On the other hand, the Eisenhower publicity has at
tacked no one. It lias boon directed to telling the story of
General Eisenhower and his fitness for the high office to
which he aspires. It has been directed at national problems
and the general's probable solutions.
In his talk at Abilene, Eisenhower did not once refer
to his leading opponent for the Republican nomination. He
cannily answered some of the questions directed at him
from the Taft camp, particularly in the matter of foreign
spending and defense costs, but in no way did he smear
or belittle his opposition. His reference to the national ad
ministration was indirect.
It would appear from the trend that Eisenhower pro
poses the type of campaign for which so many Republicans
have been praying a positive campaign based on a posi
tive program, rather than a campaign of negation, mud
slinging and me-too-ism.
Now that Ike's lint is definitely in the ring, and he has
placed himself in a position for political battle, it will be in
teresting to watch deelopments.

'Ticture a young veteran in a
Veterans Administration hospital
so seriously disabled he's required
to lie Hat on his back, able to move
only his arms and twist his head.
At his side is a machine that looks
like a magic lantern pointed up
wards, with a switch he can con
trol with his fingers.
"The machine is projecting onto
the ceiling the pace of a novel
that t(K patient is readini! from
bed, w ithout .moving. He comes to
the end of a page, tups the switch,
ind the next page flashes on to the
ceiling. He reads on. Now look at
his face. For those few moments,
at least, he has forgotten tlie hos
pital an;t his injured body, and is
living the story of sagebrush and
open plains , . .
"The printed word can be In
valuable to the patient. With the
speed of a magic, carpet it can
transport him out of the confines
of the hospital's four walls into a
new world bounded only by the
range of his imagination. It can
take him away from his ailment
for a few hours, and that alone
may help him along to the road to
recovery."
The above is from an article by
Foster Mohrdnrdt director of Li
brary Serv ice of the V.A. in Wash
ington. The whole article, reprint
ed from the Library Journal in
this current issue of the Hold Star
Mother, is most interesting in its
explanation of the methods used
to secure the most service and the
largest number of books to supply
the needs of the 2L'S libraries for
patients, (as well as the other 22S

and "domiciliancs" of the various

WASHINGTON The indictment of Mary Jane Kceney
for contempt of Congress is the first chance American
courts have had to puncture the super-legalistic aloofness
of the United Nations. '
Mr. Kcnney, when she appear
ed before the Senate Internal Se
curity Subcommittee, insisted that
as a UN employee she could ig
nore the questions put to her by
what the UN considers a vastly
inferior governing body the U.S.
Congress.
grounds of possible self incrimina
tion to confirm or deny her Com
munist party affiliations is a fact
or in her indictment, but the basis
for taking her to court is to de
termine whether UN personnel
rules supersede U.S. laws.
The court test is long overdue.
The United Nations has wrapped
itself In a cloak of mystical legal
rulings that have no precedents
in international law. 11 goes lar
beyond the legal protections ac
corded diplomatic representatives
of foreign nations in the United
States. Its employes are deemed
Immune from arrest, and UN
building and grounds are consid
ered immune to trespass by or
dinary Americans, including
agents of government security cle
nartmonts. The oath of fealty re-
atiired of Ameriran citizens em
ployed bv the UN contains declar
ations of allegiance to the United
Nations and not to the U.S. Gov
ernment. Mrs. Keeney refused to tell the
U.S. Senate who In the Stale De

UN job. She said that UN rules,
even though she is no longer em
ployed there, forbid her to dis su
the subject with such minor ap
pendages as the U.S. Senate.
By an unanimous vote the U S.
Senate decided otherwise and mov
ed to lake the Issue to court. In so
doing the Senate considered the
issue of Mrs. Keenev's Communist
party membership, or lack of it
popularity among Democrats is a
healthy sign. It would ne aiscour

That would be final proof of moral
decay amon our people.
One can't get away from the con
clusion that Kefauver's popularity

belief that he is th? young knignt

however, Is already working over
members of the Senate, saying
that the nassaee of such a measure
would be embarrassing to the Gov

This objection, silly on the sur
face, is merely a stop gap, emer
gency objection. The Slate Depart

I think Republicans, especially
the 1206 Republicans who will go
to their party's national convention
to choose a candidate tor fr-si-
dent, will do well to keep an eye
on this young fellow from Tennes
see. It will take a mighty good man
to boat him come the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of next No
vember. Not only that, It will take
UNITY mong Republicans. If the
GOP convention winds up in a bit
tor feud that sends one faction
home to sulk in its tents, it is rea
sonably certain that the next Pres
ident of the United States will be
a Democrat.
That is about as much of a fore
gone conclusion as anything can be.

55 Examined At Clinic
For Crippled Children
Fiftvfive youngsters were ex
amined Tuesday and Wednesday
in the semi-annual crippled chil
dren's clinic, the County Health
Department Reports. -
Examinations were mad by Dr.
John Marxer, Portland orthopedic
specialist, and staff of three. The
clinics are held twice yearly and
youths rang: g up to 21 years of
age are exan ined.
The word "bead" stems from a
root which means to pray and it
was only gradually that it came to
apply to ornaments which were
not prayer beads.
Not many months ago the revel
ations of graft and corruption of
several varieties, together with a
shockingly long list of income tax
collection "irregularities," caused
the President and his entire Ex
ecutive department to shudder.
The people of the country seemed
to be aroused too. Mr. Truman
announced in December that he
was going to clean house quick
and sure and let the chips fall
where they would. He was going to
appoint a special "cleaner-upper."
One man was selected. He even
camp down to Washington to talk
it over. It was prematurely an
nounced in the press lhat he had
been named. But it turned out that
when lie found he was not to be
given ample power and a free
hand, this first selection went back
home.
The came the "great" Newbo'd
Morris, a knight in badly tarnish
ed armor, to do the job. After get
ting off to a very bad start due
partly to the fact that his name
was linked with some sort of queer
tanker sale transaction, Morris
started in to do a little digging.
I gathered the impression that,
smarting under the whipping he
had taken by the Senators who
were investigating the ship deal,
Morris determined to attempt to
really do a job. However, that was
not the idea of those higher up.
Morris was summarily fired by
Attorney General McGrath. Mc
Grath was then as quickly fired
by Truman. That is the sum and
substance and the end of the much
publicized clean-up.
Perhaps you had forgotten all
about it. Apparently most people
have. I think that indifference is
perhaps as shocking as the cor
ruption, wnere is me nurning in
dignation that once would have
swept people out of office in dis
grace under such circumstances?
Apparently it no longer exists. It
has cooled so completely in a few
short week that a man who ap
pears to be little more than a ma
chine politician is named attorney
general, and the President telis a
press conference that he has no
clean-up plans.
The House passed the Federal
aid highway bill which authorizes
the funds for highway construction
during the next two years. In the
bill was a minor increase (10 per
cent) for forest roads and trails.
This is. the item from which money
for timber access roads comes.
Also to help to access road con
struction was Section three of the
bill which authorizes twelve mil
lions for defense access roads, a
Classification set up in the De
fense Highway Act of 1941. Of this
amount, two-lhlrds goes to timber
access and one-third to mineral
area roads. In some portions of
Oregon, access roads can be used
for both timber and mineral pro
duction. If the money figures named In
this highway bill actually repre
sented cash for access road con
struction there would be enough
for a fairly reasonable timber ac
cess program. Unfortunately,
these sections of Ihe bill merely
serve to indicate the maximum
amount which may be appropri
ated. .The appropriations bills do
not carry anywhere near those
authorized amounts so our govern
ment timber harvesting program
is handicapped.
