Stanton Appointment of Governor Douglas McKay to the post of Secretary of Interior by President-elect Eisenhower comes as a most gratifying surprise. McKay has insisted that he intended to leave politics upon completion of his term. Both the Governor and his charming wife have repeated time and again that they "wouldn't live in Washington." They are both lovers of this Oregon country. The Governor has told friends that he wouldn't seek a Senate position because he would have to live In the national capital. To those who know his aversion to leaving his Oregon home, the fact that he is to serve in the new cabinet comes as a surprise. . But behind that fact we find proof of the oft-mentioned ability of General Ike to surround himself with good men. We'd be willing to wager that "Doug's" consent wasn't easily obtained. We'll bet that Ike had to use his best per suasive powers. We are convinced that McKay was sincere and honest when he told friends he was "through with poli tics." That he is willing to sacrifice residential preference, remain in politics and serve in a most important and re sponsible job in the new administration, speaks highly of his true patriotism and Ike's talent in recognizing good men and persuading them to serve with him. Western Interests To Be Protected We have, of course, urged in this column the appoint ment of U. S. Senator Guy Cordon of Roseburg. We did not think of McKay as being available, inasmuch as we had frequently heard of his plans to retire from politics. We consider him fully equal to Cordon in qualifications for the office. And perhaps the combination McKay on the cabinet and Cordon high in Influence in the Senates will prove far more effective than had Cordon been named to the secretary job. McKay and Cordon are close personal friends. They share political views. They are both familiar with the needs of the West. They have like political philos ophies. McKay also enjoys the friendship and confidence of Oregon's representatives in Congress. He will be able to work in harmony with all members of the state's emigres sional delegation, with the possible exception of Senator Morse, who was soundly criticized by the Governor for his bolt from the Republican ticket, wt, But McKay's popularity is not confined to the people and representatives of his home state. He stands high in esteem and recognized ability In the Conference of Gov ernors. He will enjoy cooperation from all the governors of the Western states, In particular, for he has worked in close harmony with them in many important area develop ment projects. , Has Wide Knowledge Of Problems Governor McKay has throughout his entire political ca reer been an outstanding leader in resources development. He was one of the pioneers of the Willamette River basin development project. He was the first Oregon governor to establish an executive committee on natural resources. He has been a firm exponent of power development in the Pa cific Northwest. He has had an influential hand in recla mation and irrigation planning. - He has, however, been an aggressive enemy of the so cialistic planning of resource development. He battled vig orously against the proposed Columbia Valley Authority, Dut worKeci equally hard to set up interstate control of Col umbia river development. We may be assured that in his administration of the Department of the Interior a policy vi puiiucui expediency win no longer De tolerated. Governor McKay has riroven himself a most lil aA ministrator. In his conduct of state affairs he has been ef ficient and economical. Time and again we have known him to pass up opportunities to attract favorable publicity to himself. He absorbed much criticism because ha insist. ed upon doing things the constitutional way instead of using me more popular ana expected dictatorial methods. He is not a publicity seeker, nor docs he seek personal favors. Rather he is interested in doing the best possible job for his ouuu ana area. These abilities now Will hn nnnlier? In n much luvn-n.- field for the benefit of the entire nation. We have the utmost confidence that his administration of the Department of In terior will demonstrate the same traditionally American pol itico no iihs bo amy snown as uregon s governor. . o5 ENDING 'BASKET Don't you think the real reason antiques have such a fascination for many people is that they give i feeling of continuity, and so bv indirection a kind of comforting sense of permanence and secur ity? Just now, as I was sitting thinking (what to write for the Mending Basket?) while EJ was reading on the davenport and Texas was purring happily close beside his paper, I was suddenly aware of the slow, rhythmic tick tock of the old marble clock. It was bought In 3871, a gift to my dear English Grannv from her husband, a gift to mark the birth of her seventh, and last child, my mother. I love to think about the early environment, as my moth er has pictured it to me, of the old black clock with its large gilt face. Don't you have something In your home that sets your thoughts winging into the past like that? Something that several genera tions befnl-A vntl hnva Heart lived with, or treasured? It isn't ine value of a thing so much the continuity of its use. isn't I was thinking this time of the contrast between "getting ready for the winter" as its first owner accomplished that, and the cas ual methods of today's locker or decpfreejo conveniences. I have heard my mother tell it so many times. . , "Your Granny used to pickle walnuts, whole green walnuts.

Evans, a long-time college instructor and government employee. He seems to be running a sort of employment service for indigent leftwingers. Evans recently hired Esther Brunauer after the State Depart ment had suspended her as the result of a loyalty investiga tion. Evans said Mrs. Brunauer was only barred from jobs in the government that were supersensi tive, so he felt no pangs in put ting her on the Library of Con gress payroll. Evans' latest acquisition, as con sultant in the library's poetry di vision, is William Carlos Williams. Williams distinguished himself as early as 1937 when he signed the so-called Golden Book of Amer ican Friendship with the Soviet Union, according to the November 1937 issue of Soviet Russia Tod-ay. Having gotten on the "I Love Hussia" trolley early, Williams has stayed aboard for the ride. The House Committee on Un American Activities index on Wil liams contains 50 cards, listing his association with some of the smelly outfits that have been ped dling Moscow propaganda in the U.S. for 25 years. For instance, as late as 1951, Williams was still associated with the left-wing arts, sciences and professions organization. This little bundle of Russian lovers con tains the names of more Grade A left-wingers than you could list on this newspaper page. In March of 1941, according to the Communist Daily Worker, Luther Evans' new poetry special ist, now being paid by us tax payers, signed a statement to President Roosevelt defending the Communist party. In January of 1940. according to a letterhead dis tributed by the pro-Soviet Amer ican committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom, W 1 1 Hams signed a petition urging that the House Committee on Un American Activities be abolished. Williams also was associated with the American Writers Con gress when the Reds were mov ing in on this front, tie signed a call to organize the congress in May of 1939. the organization's publication of that date reveals. In February of 1938, according tn Uie Daily Worker, Williams signed a letter to President Tru man distributed by the pro-Communist American Friends of Span ish Democracy. This is the same front that captured the attention of some- of Gov. Adlai Stevenson's political henchmen in Chicago In an undated leaflet published by the citizens committee to free Earl Browdcr, then-jailed Commu nist lender, the name of William Carlos Williams Is appended. The signers sent the epistle to Tresi- and Uien covers tied on, made of plain white paper dipped in egg whites. As the paper dried, the cover stretched tight, of course Goose grease was prepared; and essence of peppermint with crush ed sugar. Sugar, you know, came in big pyramid-shaped blocks wrapped in blue paper. It had to be cut in the cutter for the table, and crushed for cooking. Tea came in chests covered with mat dent Roosevelt, and he apparently was impressed. Communist Brow dcr was freed. Williams, according to the House Committee on Un-American AcUvities, wrote frequently for the Communist magazine "New Masses. His signed article, ac cording to this source, appeared in it in 1930, 1937, 1938 and as recenUy as 1943. New Masses spouts - the refined Communist Party propaganda line. Few but party faithful are accorded the privilege of writing therein. Tha National Council of The Arts, Sciences and Professions sponsored Williams as a speaker in defense of tho famojs ten Holly wood Reds who got tossed in jail for sassing a committee of Con gress. This was in 1951, according to the Daily Worker files. In June of 1951, a St. Louis newspaper carried a story con cerning the arrest and trial of Communist party leaders arrested on charges of advocating the over throw of the U.S. government by force and violence. The story was reprinted in leaflet form and it carried the name of William Car los Williams in protesting the ar rests and calling for repeal of the Smith Communist control act. In the July 19, 1942 Issue of page 4, Williams Is listed as a signer of an open letter in defense of Communist Harry Bridges. The letter was promoted and placed in Uie Daily Worker by Commu nist Party members. Well, here you have Luther Evans' latest recruit on the gov ernment payroll, makes nice read ing, doesn't it?

Two unopposed candidates had no campaign expenses. They are County School Supt. Kenneth F. Barneburg, and County Surveyor Ben Irving. Silent Treatment' For Morse Advocated ROSEBURG- It has always been my understanding that a large part of the cost of publishing a newspaper is paid by the ad versers. What I am unable to understand is why you and other Oregon newspapers are giving so much free advertising space to a "publicity hound"' by the name of .Morse. Most of the advertising space given him is not news. Webster defines the term news as "a report of a recent event and as "recent intelligence." Morse thinks the people are in. terested in his intentions with ref erence to organizing the Senate and he delights in thinking he is keeping them guessing. He will however, run true to form and vote : against the Republicans. Morse has always followed the New Deal, Fair Deal, Democrat ic-Labor party line ever since he voted for Aubrey Williams, Mrs. Roosevelt's pet of the pink Youth Administration, and for Henry Wallace as Secretary of ' Com merce. Morse's statement that Truman's odoriferous record "is an indelible one," while true, is not true in the sense that he in tended it, because Morse approves that record. Reports of Morses irresponsible doings are neither "recent" nor "intelligence." Why do not you and all other Oregon newspapers ignore him? On his coming visit to Oregon why not give him tHe silent treat ment: That would deflate his ego and break his heart. I request that you do just that and recom mend the silent treatment to all other newpapers GEORGE DAVIS Roseburg, Oregon.

Fire Destroys Lithia Theater At Ashland ASHLAND ffl Fire destroyed the Lithia Theater here Thursday. Some records of the Shakespear ean Festival and personal belong ings of members of the Vining rep ertory Co., an Ashland group, also went up in the flames. The flames left a three-story wall of the building a hazard, and wreckers battered it down after flames died. An 18-inch fire wall between the theater and the Elks Temple kept the flames from ad vancing down the block. The theater, which was built in 1913, was used for stage plays. Representative Walter Judd, of Minnesota, addressing a Southern Oregon Knife and Fork club the other night, put it this way: "The thing for us to do is to keep Stalin worrving. instead of letting Stalin KEEP US WORRY ING all the time." A policy of hat sort is in the best American tradition. It has Its dangers, of course, but Americans have always believed there can be no great gain without some risk.
