Stanton Administration forces and Stevenson supporters are harping loudly about General Eisenhower's failure to repud diate Senators McCarthy and Jenner. They are endeavoring to capitalize upon the Communist-inspired propaganda di rected at the two Senators who have been so zealous al though somewhat unethical, in cleaning the Reds out of gov ernment. The Socialist-Democrats insist that McCarthy and Jen ner should be repudiated by Ike; that the general should dis associate himself from them; that he should ride them out of the Republican party. Let's examine the situation briefly, for it contains po litical ideologies bearing upon the future of our government. It has been the practice of Socialist-Democrats through out their so-called New Deal and Fair Deal administrations to purge, wherever possible, all non-conformists. They have tried to rid their party of political stalwarts who resisted encroachment from the Socialist wing in the Democratic party. Men such as Senator Byrd of Virginia, a true Demo crat, have been continuing targets of the administration's hatchet crews. Party Rule Exploited The Socialist-Democrat theory is one of centralized gov ernment. It limits state's rights. It endeavored, through a rubber-stamp Congress and a packed Supreme Court, to cir cumvent the check and balance plan of the Constitution and to gather all governmental powers into the hands of the ex ecutive department. Thus dissenters, even though party members, must be eliminated if the theory is to be effective ly operated. This political theory gained prominence with the New Deal, was carried into the Truman administration, and is advocated by the current candidate. Criticism directed against Eisenhower is based on the premise that the same theory should prevail in the Republi- can party; tnat tne itepuoncans snouiu riu meir puny ui all who do not follow the party line or who may have engaged in acts or activities contrary to ethical standards. That is one political theory. Ike Believes In State's Rights Now let's look at the other side. The two senators against whom the Communists and Socialist-Democrats pour out their vemon were elected by the people of their respective states. As senators they are in the legislative branch of govcrnmnt, not the executive branch. Eisenhower has declared himself as advocating sovereignty of the States composing The Union. If, there fore, he were to repudiate the two senators ho not only would be invading the sovereignty of states, but would be trans gressing the sharply defined boundary between the'exocutive and legislative departments of government as established by the Constitution. Thus there is clearly outlined for the voters two philos ophies of government at conflict in the current campaign. The Socialist-Democrat party, led by Stevenson, is ad vocating continuance bf centralized government and party dictatorship through weakening of constitutional checks and balances and the purging of party dissenters. Eisenhower, on the other hand, has demonstrated his respect for the constitutional system and so declines to tres pass upon state's rights or to invade the legislative branch of government, where Congress has the right of determina tion of eligiblity of its members. No facet of the current campaign, we believe, more clearly demonstrates the two philosophies of government than the argument involving the two senators. Criticism voiced by Stevenson's supporters conclusively evidences wiU lingness to transgress constitutional conduct. Eisenhower, by failure to repudiate, while giving no endorsement other than joint appearance, recognizes supremacy of the Ameri can voter and accepts consitutional rules. The voter must decido which type of government, as exemplified by the two candidates, he desires in the next administration. Why don't we have periscopes over here the way the llritish crowds do? 1 don't know when I've boon so disappointed as I was, after driving over 40 miles to SEE the lionchil and Mrs. Eisen hower, not to have so much as a glimpse of either of (hem. Hun dreds didn't! We guessed wrong where the train-end would romo to halt. Even the sound Inirk failed to function at the beginning. My, there was a crowd at Eu gene! Why In the world wasn't there some kind of a makeshift pint form that would have enabled the General and all the crowd to SEE each other? If he came out on the platform at Klamath Falls In his bathrobe, as di his wife. wouldn't he have been delighted to step up on some higher eleva tion for a minute or two so he could he SEEN by folk who had come there for that purpose? We could hear him at home on the radio! It was my fate to become wedg ed in the crowd behind a man who had stepped right out of one of those clothing advertisements: you know, wide, wide shoulders and a height to match. He had binoculars on a strap around his neck, and used them constantly, a:timugh why HE needed them 1 lun't know. I thought of asking Km ir he would turn sideways, but even that wouldn't have helped much. The crowd was so dense, and we were so far back! One man did lift his wife up so she could "see Mamie." Well, 1m no I ENDING BASKET featherweight nowadays so EJ didn't offer to do that for me. (Hut there was a time when he carried me half a hluck to the corner drugstore in a city street because 1 had remarked I did wish j 1 could go as far as that drug I store. . .and have an ice cream 1 soda there! I had been ill a long I time. Whatever the neighbors thought I don't know. Wouldn't have bothered EJ anyhow). So long as a candidate endures that wiiislle stop grind in order to j SEE and be SEEN, I don't see why the cities, where the train is j going to stop long enough for a speech, don't rig up some kind of a temporary platform that can be shoved close to the tram when it I has stopped, "en. my disappointment was mitigated a trifle today when I opened the Satevepost (tho one with "Ike's" picture on the cover) and found that charming portrait of Mrs. Eisenhower in colors in side, and an interesting article by the artist who painted both the (ieneral and his wife. "Mamie" looks just the way 1 imagined she would!

Copy-rigid 1952, King Features Syndlcatt SAN FRANCISCO California Republicans are in a mood to crack down on Governor Earl Warren, whose per sonal feuding with Senator Richard Nixon has Democrats from coast to coast grinning warren sun Diames ine uui vice presidential nominee for ruining what he thought were his own excellent chances .for the presidential nomination. This is Warren's personal pipe dream and it is far removed from the political realities that existed in Chicago at convention time. The governor's peeve, however, is hurting GOP chances in Cali fornia, but this seems to be tho least of Warren's worries. In fact, tho governor delighted California Democrats recently by trotting out to climb aboard President Iru man's campaign train when it camo Into the state. For his con sideration he got a pat on the back from Truman along with presidential sympathies over the way Nixon is supposed to have cheated him out of the presidency. The kind words from Truman de lighted the governor but left almost every other GOP politician in the statu gagging with disgust. Don't Want Endorsement Many Democrats running for of fice shudder at the thought of an indorsement from Truman. They consider such an, event a short cut to political suicide. But not the Republican governor of the State of California. He not only liked what ho heard, but had no criticism to offer when the presi dent was cussing his way across the state, spewing falsehoods a every railroad crossing. In climbing aboard the presi dential train, Warren probably fig ured he was joining distinguished political company, lie is the third GO! politician awarded the Presi dent's political medal of merit. The other two are Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon and Senator Wil liam I. anger of North Dakota. Both label themselves Republicans but there is no sensible reason for their doing so. Just as Warren does, the two senators enjoy hav ing their pictures taken with Mr. Truman just like any ward heel ing Democrat, I'nor to the Truman train In cident most California Republicans felt the governor could be of help to the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. Now they lay their political plans without considering him. And Hie fact that they do so jarred t he governor to the point where ho an nounced he would make a few siH'eches in the closing days of the campaign. Republicans are nor" jubilant, however, in anticipa tion of what they expect to hear. Wants To Go To Capital Warren still wants to go to Washington. He thiol..; now that if Eisenhower and Nixon are elect ed he can persuade party politic ians in the state to indorse him for appointment to replace Xixon in the Senate. To do so Warren would have to resign with a firm commitment from Goodwin Knight, the lieuten ant governor, to name him for Nixon's Senate seat. Knight Is a party regular who may have other ideas. He has considerable politi cal standing and Republicans are convinced he could be elected gov ernor against anybody the Demo crats might put up in opposition. Warren's other hope, of course, is for an appointment in a GOP president's cabinet. But he seems to think he can work his way to Washington by throwing political tantrums in California. West I oast Republicans express an opposite view. 'I hey have learned in their I political schooling that the road to .success is paved with political favors. Since Warren's isn't doing any for the party at the moment there is a strong conviction here that nobody will owe him any ket is elected thing if the Eisenhower-Nixon tic- Awards in politics are not ae quired by a system of divine right, ft U J SU W L V"J W ! m n1 Miiwiiin with delight. This, however, seems to be the theory propelling the governor of California in his current gyrations in the direction of the Democrats. Right now he needs his party more than it needs him. When his present term of governor expires he has no place to go except to Washington if the Republicans win. Hut if they do it will be without much help from him. The best that can be said about Warren is that he is consistent. Ho refused to campaign for Nixon when the vice presidential candi date won election to the Senate; ho refused to release his conven tion delegates to Eisenhower or Taft; and now he plays at being a mummy when the political chips are down in his home state. Few hearts are brimming with grati tude for the governor at the mo ment. Hear Fulton Leuns Daily On KRNR, 9:15 P.M.

Billy Rose Told To List Income NEW YORK if A State Su preme Court justice has told show man Billy Rose to concede his ability to pay unlimited alimony to his estranged wife, Eleanor Holm, or else reveal certain data about his finances since 1SI39. The ruling by Justice James B. MeNally Friday was a vital point in the former Olympic swimming star's efforts to get a peek at to? financial background of her hus band. MeNally sauRose must disclose his income, earnings and assets. Hose, who has kept his wealth secret, reputedly has amassed millions in the 13 years since he married Miss Holm.

Proposal Of Holy Bill, YONCALLA The school district reorganization act commonly known as the Holy bill is one measure on the ballot this Novem ber 4th which we of the Douglas county Farm Bureau urge every one to vote 321 NO. The economies of centralized purchasing of equipment, the streamlined centralized adminis trative machinery set up to unify both educational processes and school districts are but two of the highly recommended virtues of this act which we of the Farm Bureau feel are dangerous to our future well being. One does not have to tax his imagination to picture what could happen to cen tralized buying. Every day seems to uncover some sort of graft in high places. Besides, it has been shown time after time that larger units of government spend more lavishly, are farther from the peo ple and have less regard for the taxpayer or his dollars. The Holy report, from which this act is drawn, recommends additional specialized teachers, district nurs es, counselors, etc., all of which cost money. Under these circum stances, it is hard to see how the taxpayer will save money as pro ponents of this act suggest. The most dangerous part of this entire act, we believe, is the ap pointive procedure whereby the state department of education ap points a commissioner of 'school district reorganization. It is true that there are disadvantages to filling managerial offices such as this one with personnel elected by the people but certainly the dam age cannot be as great as to pro vide an opening, as this act does, for subversive elements to influ ence the educational processes of our children. Also, may we point out that larger educational unils do not nec essarily provide better education. The winner in the 1952 Oregon Statesman-KSLM spelling contest was from a three-room school. Voluntary reorganization and con solidation is working in Oregon and should not be impaired by mandatory legislation of such a far reaching scale. Reorganization will require a large building pro gram at a time wnen labor and materials are at an all-time high. Good, usable school buildings will be abandoned. Oregon schools rank among the highest in the forty eight states, therefore this drastic a change is not needed. DOUGLAS COUNTY FARM BUREAU By Mrs. Paul Flury Publicity Chairman Y'oncalla, Ore.

Brakeman Leaps Onto Run-Away Freight- Train CEDAR CITY, Utah OP A rail road employe leaped from a speed ing automobile to the engine of a tain traveling at an estimated 70 miles per hour and stopped the runway freight near here Friday. M. If. Walker of Cedar City, a brakeman for tha Union Pacific railroad, called on police for as sistance when the train, parked while its crew ate lunch here, sud denly started to move.

MY PAPER HASN'T ARWEDm BETWEEN 6:iwm ah ! W- By FRANK (Continued from Page One) of a good pilot ha ms.de his landing. As he stepped out of his wrecked plane, he grinned and said: "Oh it wasn't TOO tough." By way of contrast: Back here on the home front, politicians are stumninp iho cm in try and telling the people to vote again ror a corrupt and extrava gant administration "because you XVBVEK HAD IT SO GOOD." That brings to my mind a pic ture: A little while hack I was cominz from the airport to one of our rarger Pacific Coast cities. In the bus seat ahead of me were two gentlemen of plump build -and flashy appearance. They were obviously members of the quick buck tribe. The subject of their conversation was tne nice fat prof it they had made by buying low and selling high in these years when the inflationary spiral has kept prices going UP AND UP AND UP and never going down. Said one of them to the other: "I never had it so good as I've had it in the3e years, and you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to VOTE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY." It recalls another incident. Back during the shooting war. tv n -iris were talking in a crowd ed bus. One of them a lady welder at a 'bu shipbuilding plant. She was telling her companion what a swell job she had, the short hours and the big pay. "Oh," she said in a burst of enthusiasm, "I never had it so good. I hope the war goes on for ever." She was just "a dumb, green kid. She had no conception of the REASON why her job was so "ood. It never crossed her mind that the shipyards were roaring at top speed to replace the ships that were being sunk . by enemy submarines. The words "I hope the war goes on forever" nuant nothing to her. They were just an empty phase thrown into her chuckle-headed chatter. But they didn't sit well with those nearby who had sons ?nd husbands and brothers and cousins in the war that was mak-it- the flu"y-pated lady welder's job so good. There came near being a scene in the bus. T.'t'i war for you. In war (whether shooting war or cold war) some never had it so good and some have to die in agony. It always has been that way. It always will be that way. Rick finevitiblv) to politix: Give-'Em-Hell Harry was giving 'em hell in Buffalo last night.

Lutherans Vote Bible Revision SEATTLE (fl The United Lu theran Church in America was committed today to support in clusion in its liturgy of the new revised standard version of the Bible a decision made after three hours of argument and prayer last night. Delegates to the 18th biennial meeting of the largest group in the Lutheran family voted 343 to 198 to request the Joint Commis sion on the Liturgy to include the new version in a forthcoming hymnal. The commission is composed of members representing churches of the National Lutheran Council. It is not bound by the recommenda tion but convention officials said it most likely would agree because the UI.CA is the largest church group in Lutherandom. Opponents of the new version said the Kiag James Bible is a work of art not to be quickly tossed aside and that the newer version should not be hastily ac cepted until it meets the test of usage.
