HOORAY FOR McKAY!
Charles V. 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. .

Don't you think the real reason
antiques have such a fascination

i feeling of continuity, and so bv

thinking (what to write for the

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.

your home that sets your thoughts

WASHINGTON One of the Truman Administration
patronage job-holders who probably will be given a care
ful going - over by the Republicans is the librarian of Con
gress, Luther H. 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

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

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.
