PHILOSOPHY
By Charles V. Stonton
Oregon's verbose junior senator, Wayne L. Morse,
who is prepared to express his opinion in so many thousand
words on any subject, recently has been aiming at Hell's Can
yon dam project.
This currently is a hot issue. The Idaho Power and
Light Company wants to build a series of low-head dams on
the Snake River along the Oregon-Idaho border. It is pre
pared to pay the entire cost of this proposed development
from private funds.
On the other hand, the federal government wants to
build a mammoth dam at Hell's Canyon. This one .dam
would inundate sites of several of the low-head dams the
Idaho utility proposes to build.
There is some dispute as to Which of the two plans would
generate the most power. There is no disputing the fact that
the proposal by the private utility would be less than one
third the cost of the government-sponsored project. The gov
ernment's installation, however, would include irrigation and
navigation as benefits.
Without entering into the controversy surrounding the
merits of the two projects or attempting to voice an opinion
as to which program should be adopted, we find some of the
statements of our junior senator quite interesting.
Monopoly Control Attacked
Speaking recently before the Electric Consumers' Con
ference, and quoted in the St. Lmi.it Pott-Dispatch, Senator
Morse said: "The private utility lobby is publishing large
advertisements against the bill I introduced in the Senate
some weeks ago for development of the Hell's Canyon proj
ect because that bill seeks to prevent the development of a
monopolistic control of the Snake River by the Idaho Power
and Light Co."
The intimation in the senator's statement is that monop
oly by private enterprise is dangerous, but that monopoly by
the federal government is a blessing.
He proceeded in his address to emphasize the impor
tance to defense of power development, and that more power
must be created to keep pace with our defense needs. He
contends in a pertinent paragraph :
At each on of thaia projects bacomat davalopad by lha gov-,
arnmant and privata anterprlte moves into tha acanemic environ
man! of any given projact, you will than find tha trua privata enter,
priiar not tha monopolists, but lha run-of-the-mill business men
of America, thanking ui for having the viiien t ee one of the pri
mary objectives of a free government uch al aurs. That objective
is to do for tha people whet needs to be dons and what they them
selves cannot do, or do so well, for themselves."
, We cannot quarrel with the junior senator concerning
the need for more power. -
Creeping Socialist Philosophy
We can disagree, however, with the philosophy which
he propounds. If monopoly is bad on the part of private
enterprise, it also is bnd on part of government, in our
opinion. We find it difficult to harmonize the position of a
government which will attempt to break up private corpor
ations, such as oil companies, banking chains, food store
systems, etc., simply because they are big, while endeavoring
at the same time to establish complete control over vital
power production and transmission. We believe there is far
V?ss danger in development of power between a number of
private companies, each competing for business, than in plac-
ing all control of power under the federal government which,
in the hands of a political-minded administration, can use its
authority to reward its political friends and punish its politi
cal enemies by furnishing or withholding power fbr'coopera
tive or non-cooperative production activities.
We also find disagreement in the philosophy that the
government can do more for the people than they can do for
themselves. Perhaps the government can do the job on a
grander scale a scale including more Immediate benefits,
liut experience shows that it also does it more expensively
more wastcfully.
This philosophy that government must be all things to
all people that papa knows best has been insidiously
undermining our traditions of democratic government and
free enterprise. Even with the sugar coating with which
Senator Morse surrounds the theme, it is a bitter pill for
us to swallow.
Sometimes I feci a Utile gullly
because I have said 50 little about
Girl Scouts, when I have said
much more about Boy Scouts. The
reason Is. of course, that our chil
dren were boys and my thoughts
went along with them in their
scouting. How I do wish I might
have been a Girl Scout when I
was that agcl Or a Brownie! Or a
Camn Fire Gill! Or a 4-11 mem
ber! AH these groups offer so much
of value to the young girl.
If we are ever to have peace we
certainly must put our hopes In
the children, and begin to lay solid
foundations in their thinking, with
a prayer that they will do better
than we have, or at least build a
little higher than we have done.
Girl Scouting, for Instance, cm
pahsizes World Friendship in a fine
way, but the Girl Scout begins
right in her own home to establish
It.
Referring to the lOpoint Scout
Law, "a Girl Scout Is to be trusted
. . loyal, unselfish and to help
others. . . a friend to all and a
sister to every other Girl Scout
. . . courteous. . . a friend to ani
mals . . .obedient to orders . . .
cheerful . . .thrifty . . .clean in
thought, word and deed. '
OF BUSINESS
ENDING
BASKET
Then the Girl Scout radiates
outward as she reflects the spirit
of the ten parts of the Scout Law,
until, like a pebble cast in a pool,
her friendliness Includes all. I
love to read of the way the Girl
Scouts and Girl Guides overseas
carry on, I recall reading how
seriously Princess Elizabeth work
ed as a Girl Guide, accepting her
share of the unpleasant tasks cheer
fully and doing them with a will.
It must be confusing to a young
girl earnestly trying to live up to
her Ideals if she observes a par
ent ignoring a law, or "getting
away" with some Infringement of
one! I recall a mother (an earnest
church-goer) who calmly parked
her car with the smiling remark,
I suppose 1 11 get a ticket but if
I do I'll just turn it over to X
and he will 'take care' of it for me'.
He took care of a couple of other
tickets for me" There were three
bright children, one a teen-ager,
listening. What kind of an Impres
sion did that attitude make in
their minds do you suppose?
After all, aren't we supposed to
"render unto r.asar the things
that are Caesar's"?
Fulton Lewis Jr,

WASHINGTON1 Any comparison between Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower's rise in political prominence with
that of the late Wendell Wilkie, will lose its validity on the
doorstep of the GOP convention hall in Chicaco.
Emotional Eisenhower backers
have consistently compared the
General's fortunes with those that
gained Wlllkie the Republican
nomination in 1940. They predict
the same Wlllkie tactics will see
Eisenhower Ihrough the political
storms at Chicago. They are
whistling la the dark.
The Eisenhower situation this
year, and Willkie's in 1940, are
entirely different. Gen. Eisenhow
er will journey to Chlcaso with
a list of delegates almost equal
to the number held by Senator
Robert A. Tatt. The emotions and
enthusiasms of his followers al
ready will be somewhat spent. In
fact, the General himself has been
neglecting his ballyhoo artists to
concentrate on the haraMieaded
politicians who will be delegates
in Chicago, These men, not the
band leaders and television stars,
will nominate the Goneral.
In 1940, Wlllkie was low man
on the totem pole. Although a
well publicized dark horse then,
ho could muster only f.fl votes on
the first ballot. Gov. Thomas K.
Dewev of New York had 360
and Taft 189.
Convention delegates In 1910
wound up by-passing both of the
front runners, and nominating
Willkie on the sixth roll call, lie
was in a perfect spot to slip In
between the political giants who
were battling for first place. His
managers kept him on the side
lines until just the right moment.
The only comparable figure now
sitting on the sidelines who could
muster the enthusiasm tha tequal.
led Willkie's in 1940 is Gen. Douglas-
MacArthur.
Convention history reveals that
almost without exception a can
didate leading the roll call of dele
gates on the first ballot must win
by the fourth roll call or call it
quits. Dewey found this out in
1940. Taft is In the same position
today, assuming he reaches Chi
cago with more delegates than
Eisenhower, as he apparently
will do.
Convention record books also re
veal that only three times in his.
lory have candidates in second
place on the first ballot gone on
to win the nnminatmn 1 ini
n.u.1, . .i t1.11 .
" ink-on were tne three
This precedent puis Eisenhower
on the spot.
This explains the heavy po
litical guns being brought to bear
on footloose delegates who arc
now uncommitted to either Taft or
Ike. They wield the balance of
power In 1952.
The three largest blocks of tin-'
committed delegates, who have 1
politicians on the prowl at the ,
moment, are in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Michigan.
Reports of tentative efforts to '
swing a "deal" aligning these
three states solidly behind Taft
or Eisenhower have met skeptl- i
clsm among politicians. There is
no question, however, but that 1
for a first ballot victory, a large !
chunk of the uncommitted dele
gates Is going lo have to swing
to one of the leading contend
ers. ,
Most politicians agree that rls-1
ging up a political coalition be
tween these three states would be
almost a miracle. -
The vlce prealdency Is the usual 1
convention prie resting on the
trading block. No one is In sight
today in any of the three states
with tha political stature for the
ipb. Nor are there any conven
tion precedents revealing instan
ces of three powerful states agree
ing on a vice-presidential candi
date when there is still a chance
that ony one of the three could
name the presirtential running
mate all by Itself.
The way the vice-president usu
ally emerges in a tight nomina.
ting race is precisely the w
former Vice-President John Nance
Garner got to be one. In 1932,
when Franklin D. Roosevelt's
nomination on the fourth ballot
was in doubt. Garner delivered
the Texas delegates to FDR. FDR
showed his gratitude by taking
Garner as his running-mate..
And that's just about the way
It will happen this year.

lei and air force centers."
More from Washington:
"Starting July 14, thousands of
civilian defense workers will help
the air force scan the skies over
America's borders in a round-the-clock
watch for POSSIBLE EN
EMY PLANES."
Why?
General Frederic H. Smith, dep
uty director of the air defense
command, explains: "The Soviets
have had the capability for some
time to attack us."
General Nathan F. Twining, act
ing chief of staff for the air forte,
adds:
"We can have no assurance of
long-range forewarning of a de
cision by the Kremlin to attempt
an assault on us. The lack of a
thorough, 24-hour watch is a weak
ness we can no longer afford."
Is war just around the comer?
I doubt it.
But Cromwell's advice, given to
his men some three centuries ago,
is still good:
"Put your trust in God, my boys,
and KEEP YOUR POWDER
DRY."
Meanwhile, we hear from Pitts
burg: f
"The two-weeks-old steel strike
slashed dee;.er than ever today in
to the nation's economy, as some
plants making war munitions re
ported curtailments near because
of a shortage of steel."
Bad?
Sure it's bad. Steel Is the basic
raw material of weapons. If we
should run short of weapons and
the Russians should attack us at
that critical moment, it could be
the end of us.
How did we get that way?
Well, it seems to me that the
basic trouble is too much power In
too few hands on both sides of the
steel controversy. When two few
men hold too much power in their
hands too long, trouble nearly al
ways follows.
Speaking of power, a Yakima
(Washington) dispatch this morn
ing says:
"Jack Hubbard, of Olympia, a
meteorologist engaged in the bit
ter Yakima Valley RAIN WAR
between cherry and wheat grow
ers, claimed yesterday he was us
ing chemicals POTENT ENOUGH
TO DRY UP A CONTINENT."
He adds:
"We believe that by enlarged
and intensive operations it would
be possible to dry up a nation for
a considerable period of time."
? ? ? ?
I dunno.
But it kind of looks to me like
that's too much power for any set
of men to hold in their hands.
