when that man sets nimseii up as a Beu-pimesseu i-ei-e-sentative
of a class or group of people, or when he assumes
the role of leadership, his reasons for changing his mind
ehould show sincerity, honesty and consistency.
Senator Wayne Morse, Oregon's junior senator, was
among the early drumbeaters for Eisenhower for presi
dent. He was one. of the delegates who aided in Eisenhow
er's nomination at the Chicago convention. He pledged his
fullest support and cooperation.
. When Eisenhower and Taft composed their differences
and began working on the same team, Morse began to cool
off rapidly. He went into his tent. He said he would still
vote for Eisenhower but withdrew his offer to campaign for
the general. ,Now he has gone still further and says he will
vote for Stevenson.
It is entirely within his rights to change his mind. He
has the American privilege to vote for whomever he pleases.
But Morse designates himself as the representative of
"Independent Republicans." He professes to be a "Liberal
Republican." . He sets himself up as a political leader for
the independent voters.
Thus his reasons for changing his mind should be based
on sound foundation.
Consistency In Position Lacking
We find, however, a great lack of consistency between
the senator's earlier statements and his reasons for desert
ing to Stevenson. We find inconsistency in his supposed ad
herence to constitutional government and his endorsement
of the Democratic nominee; also in his reasoning.
In March of this year, Morse wrote that he believed
Eisenhower "would give the country the type of leadership
that would unite our peoDlo and renew their faith in the
future of our country." Morse now switches his allegiance
to the party in which the people have no confidence a fact
he recognized when he first came out for' Ike.
In March Morse said : "Eisenhower would maintain our
prestige with and have the support of our allies. Not only
that, but I think under his leadership in the White House
he would weld the military support of our allies into the de
fenseful freedom which would make clear to Russia that
she would have everything to lose and nothing to gain by a
third world war." Now he says: "Sound liberalism which
is dedicated to placing welfare of all of our people at all
times above those selfish interests which seek to exploit our
people would have little influence in Eisenhower's adminis
tration because it would be dominated' by the military and
by the reactionaries." .
In March Morse said : "I think Eisenhower is especially
- fitted for the presidency at this time because of his remark
able ability to work out consctonable compromises among
conflicting points of view." Now he says : "Eisenhower is
not telling the truth when in political desperation he now
claims he has not entered into unconscionable compromises
with the reactionaries In the Republican party. I know he
has. His surrender at Morningside Heights and his endorse
ment of candidates whose reelection would threaten civil
liberties and human rights at home -and peace in the
world disqualify him for the presidency of the United
States."
Why Wis Mors. "Mistaken?"
, iituta dkj a e iiuivi nuie a 11,1,11 uu ,uui'ivvvi r uuiiiiu-
sioned about any man as I am about Eisenhower. The dem
agoguery, double-talk, and dangerous desertion by Eisen
hower in this campaign of his once professed political prin
ciples leaves me with no honorable course of action but to
disassociate myself completely from his candidacy."
Demagoguery indeed! Even admitting Junior's claim
to be true, can he hold that Harry's whistle-stop campaign
ing, or the big-lie and character smfearing technique of the
party he now joins, is less demogogic?
Would Morse, the great exponent of constitutional gov
ernment, have Ike violate constitutional intent, by tres
passing upon states' rights and the demarcation between
executive and legislative functions by repudiating "reac
tionaries," elected by the people of sovereign states.
Senator Morse climbed on the Eisenhower bandwagon
early. There was a belief in the public mind at. thnt
time that Ike would possibly be the Democratic nominee.
Morse was snubbed by the Eisenhower crowd. His own
state delegation cut him out of a coveted committee appoint
ment His offer to stump the country on Ike's behalf was
left on the table. Then, to top it all off, General Ike, whose
ability to "work out conscionable compromises" was prais
ed by Morse last March, worked out a compromise with the
Taft forces, healing what could have been a serious rupture
in the party. Morse violently dislikes Taft. That was one
reason he was such an ardent supporter of Eisenhower.
Could it be that the Morse switch to Stevenson is based
on pique because he was so roundly snubbed and Sidetracked
and because he failed to become the general's bosom pnl
r while his political arch enemy was taken into the fold? Is
his ego suffering?
If so, the reasons given by the senator for his widely
. publicized change of opinion do not befit a man of the posi
tion to which Morse pretends.

arly its Grange. I was just read

WASHINGTON Russian jet3 continue to shoot down
unarmed U. S. aircraft in the Pacific.
Russian officers continue to direct Chinese Communist
troops killing American boys in Korea.
Senate investigators continue to expose what most of us
have known all along, that the United Nations is a tax-free
haven for imported and domestic Communists.
Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son, In an effort to whitewash him
self and his department prior to
the November elections, continues
to threaten the Soviet delegation
at the United Nations general as
sembly in New York with further
UN action unless the Russians
behave.
The threat, I presume, consists
of promises of more Koreas. This
probably frightens the Soviet dele
gates out of their wits, although
thus far it seems that Acheson,
rather than the Russians, is be
reft of them.
As of today the Russians have
lost one soldier in the Korean
war that we know of. We have his
body buried in a Korean grave.
He fell or was shot out of an air
plane. The State Department was
frightfully embarrased over what
to do with the body but finally
buried the Soviet airman in a
"noncombatant's" gravel
We have suffered more than 125,
000 casualties in Korea, including
many of our scarce jet fighter
aces. And the State Department
now considers the Korean war
stabilized if we lose no more than
30,000 fighting men annually. The
administration has admitted that
under its guidance the Korean war
may last as long as ten years.
Stalin also has a ten-year plan.
He recently announced his willing
ness to face ten more years of
cold war, which fits in nicely
with Acheson's plans.
The secretary of state is the
sole government official of polit
ical importance who hasn't as yet
been successfully whitewashed by
Mr. Truman. Not that the Presi
dent hasn't tried, just as he did
with Gen. Harry Vaughan, but the
few forays Acheson has made onto
public platforms has convinced
the White House that he still needs
a lot more favorable attention. Mr.
Truman gets a flock of nasty let
ters every time he lets his sec-
minister of the local church. Wir
ing for the parsonage was done
by the 4-H Klectrilitcs, a club
sponsored by the Grange and led
by the master, Lee Wilson.
"The Grange further assisted
the church financially by turning
over the revenues of a talent show
to it. Eight of the Sunday School
teachers and the superintendent
are members of the Grange. Mem
bors also do the local janitor work.
The Grange also assisted the local
school In various ways. , .
"The Camas Valley community
fire truck was completely paid
for in June 1952 through funds
donated by individuals, Grange
money-raising events, etc. The
Grange is continuing to give fi
nancial support to the mainten
ance of the truck which has al
ready quelled several dangerous
fires.

bers conducts an English class

living In Camas Valley now. , .do
ing what it can to help these peo
ple become part and parcel of the
community. . .sponsors and pro
vides leaders for the Boy Scouts
and the 4-H clubs. . .and other
activities for the young people of
the valley."
I mentioned my interest in
the above story to Mrs. M.irlon
Yoder, one of the C.V. members,
and she exclaimed: "And the Bul
letin story didn't tell ALL-I" Mrs.
Yoder is going to add to the story
(there wasn't time just then) so
there will be more in this column
about Oregon's First-Place win
ner, the Camas Valley Grange.
Favorite Spot for
retary of state loose on the public.
The UN General Assembly meet
ing is Acheson's big chance to con
vince you and me that he is the
hottest thing to come up against
the Communists since the Patton
tank. Acheson and the Russians
are the only two of the "Big Four"
yet in New York.
The British foreign secretary,
Anthony Eden, and the French
foreign minister, Robert Schuman,
are staying away until after the
U.S. presidential election in No
vember. Both can smell a politi
cal shindig as easily as they can
detect an overripe red herring.
In anticipating his triumph,
Acheson is operating on much the
samejlevel of international diplo
macy that existed at Yalta and
Potsdam. Alger Hiss was on the
stage then, and according to his
handwritten notes, just published
by the McCarran senate internal
security subcommittee, he sat
right behind President Roosevelt,
whispering in his ear and then
running off to tell the Russians
what the President had replied.
All week long UN and State De
partment employes have been
whispering in Acheson's car. There
is one UN aide in particular I've
looked for, but so far he hasn't
joined the secretary of state.
He is Alfred J. Van Tassel, chief
of a UN technical division, who
only a few days ago found it ex
pedient to plead self-incrimination
in refusing to discuss whether or
not he had ever been a Commu
nist party members.
The McCarran subcommittee Is
in the process of wringing the
Reds out of the UN, especially
those Americans who beat it off
the State Department payroll when
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and
others started questioning their al
legiance, if any, to the USA. Of
course; we taxpayers are still pick
ing up the check for Van Tassel
and the others, and it's tax-free
for them, since they operate in a
world government vacuum, un
touchable insofar as the laws of
the USA are concerned.
Well, all I can say is that if
Acheson convinces anybody he's
going to outsmart the Russians
this go around, then we had better
prepare for another blizzard of ba
loney from the White House.
Mr. Truman says Acheson Is the
greatest secretary of state in his
tory. Let's wait until the General
Assembly adjourns before we buy
that one. I'm going to, anyway.

When Ike, instead of publicly
carving Taft's vitals out and
throwing his carcass out of the

help in the huge and vastly im

Truman, a smart politician, un

OK, senator. You're In the New

Proposed County Library
Phases Are Discussed
MYRTLE CREEK As chair
man of the Myrtle Creek Public
Library Board, I am asked many
questions about the county library
proposal we are to vote on.
My motive is to point out the
facts as I see them. I am for a
first class county library. I know
this will be costly. I see no motive
in getting into something until we
Know wnat we are doing.
There seems to be two interpre
tations, one for and one against.
The "for's" seem to be "hush"
on finance. The "no's" seem to
think big figures may frighten
the -voters into "no" votes. Thev
are both correct in their approach.
everyone is lor a good thing that
costs nothing. How many good
things do we get for nothing?
To me. Miss Elinor SteDhens.
Oregon state librarian is the most
efficient person to advise us. I
know from personal interviews
with her that she thinks Douglas
County needs county library. I
also know that she is a thoughtful
person who wants sound backing
and careful planning in the under
lining.
I am still not answering the
questions started out to try to
answer.
What will a county library do
for me or for our community? How
will it operate? Won t Roseburg get
most benefit?
I shall answer the last question
first.
Yes. Roseburg people will no
doubt get most benefit if you con
sider the number of books read.
They should. Roseburg has more
people.
How will it operate? This I can
not answer because it has not been
decided. It will no doubt be like
other county libraries in the state.
I believe they have a central hous
ing unit at the county seat and use
bookmobiles to deliver books to
other towns and communities.
I don't see whv this has to be. If
It a law, we might change the
law. I can't see why we could not
have sub-units in the larger towns
and have bookmobiles depart from
there with, perhaps, a central unit
delivering to the sub-units. This
might cut down on building cost
as some towns already have some
housing facilities. One thing I do
know, this plan would inject a
cuuniy unuy leenng into the people.
That s enough wishful thinking.
Now back to answer the question
what will a county library do for
me or my community?
Each individual should expect to
have the very best books he cares
to read delivered to him as close
as his grocery store or school
house. -. . ,
The community withv no library
would no doubt use the store or
schoolhouse as a meeting place
with .the bookmobile. I believe
where there is a library this would
only have books added to their
shelves and perhaps ' additional
staff service from the coVnty unit.
As I said before, none of this has
been decided. .
Nnv vou see that we must have
books for every resident in the
county, cars to deliver uie dooks,
people to drive the cars, people
to order books, catalogue books,
keep books in proper order and a
place to keep the books. '
This will cost money, just as
good roads, good schools, good
churahes, good hospitals and good
homes cost money.
Now can Douglas County, the
best county in the State of Oregon
afford to be without a first class
County Library?

South Koreans Suffer Most
Of War's Casualties, While
U.S. Tops U.N. Manpower
WASHINGTON UP) The United States is estimated to
have borne about 35- per cent of the battle casualty, load
Korea while supplying: nearly half of the United Nations com
bat manpower engaged in the Far Eastern conflict.
South Korea has suffered the heaviest losses an esti
mated 61 per cent. The other 15 United Nations have borne
the remaining 39 per cent.
No precise- comparison between
American and other United Na
tions figures of killed, wounded
and missing can be' made for a
given date. The United States
is the only member of the Allied
fighting team that announces cas
ualty figures regularly.
The American casualty total last
week stood at 121,154. The last
tabulation made from United Na
tions and foreign sources, on Aug.
30, placed the total for all other
U.N. forces at 221,876, of which
all but 10,899 were South Koreans.
The war-torn Republic of Korea
is known to be unsure of the exact
extent of its manpower loss. In the
early, desperate months of the war
the South Korean Army lost and
picked up men with more rapidity
than its harried administration
could keep track of.
Estimates by highly informed
sources show that there are ap
proximately 300,000 Americans
engaged in ground, sea and air
phases of the conflict, 450,000 to
550,000 South Koreans and about
40,000 other U.N. troops.
S. Koreans Bear Bigger Load
The U.S. casualty total reflects
the bitterest part of 1950 when
American troops formed the bulk.

"This is the first time a large
