Stanton A copyrighted story appearing in the Coos Bay i imes created a political furore over the state this week. The newspaper reported it had information that U.S. Senator Guy Cordon, if reelected, planned to resign and that Governor Patterson would appoint William E. Walsh, Coos Bav attorney and former State Senator, to the va cancy. The story indicated that a "deal" had been cooked up. 1 Quite naturally, the item started politicians buzzing. Senator Cordon and Governor "Patterson have each issued heated denials. It should be quite apparent to any one that neither is in a position to even consider a plot of this type. Both are facing elections. While it is our person al belief that each will be returned to office, any collusion such as intimated by the Coos Ban Times would contain too many "ifs" to even be considered at this time by as tute office seekers and neither Cordon nor Patterson can be accused of lacking astuteness. Trial Balloon Indicated Observers, of course, well knowing that publication of tbe story had some hidden motive, are endeavoring to dis cover the motivation. The Coos Bay Times is one of the few Oregon news papers consistently supporting New Deal philosophies. Some observers are endeavoring to tie the paper's editorial policies into an attempt to smear Senator Cordon, a Re publican. The reporter insists he was given the information from what he believed to be reliable sources, that he checked with Senator Walsh, and that the story was written in good faith and without bias. We are inclined to believe the re porter is truthful and that he was sold a bill of goods. That the item stems from a political plot, however,! seems obvious. Some observers feel that it was aimed at Governor Patterson rather than at Senator Cordon and was perhaps instituted by supporters of a rival candidate. We would be more inclined to accept this theory than to believe that the conniving was directed against the Senator. The forthcoming gubernatorial race in Oregon prom ises one of the most heated campaigns in years. It is shap ing up as a slam-bang contest in both parties. We antici pate a lot of political jockeying and quite a bit of fouling as the campaign progresses. But still another school of thought, and the one seeming most reasonable, is that the item was in the form of a trial balloon a standard political strategy. Super Sales Resistance!

If he was responsible, he he says ..atonljc energy js Walsh Wants Senate Job Senator Walsh, who spent many years in the Oregon Legislature, is known to be receptive to a seat in the U.S. Senate. He is openly mentioned as a probable Repub lican candidate for Senator Morse's seat in the 1956 elec tion. The story published by the Coos Ban Times doubt less will bring out a great deal of sentiment throughout the state relative to the qualifications of Senator Walsh and ex pressions of opinion from various communities. The infor mation would be extremely valuable in planning any fu ture campaign in which the Coos P,ay aspirant might en gage. We fear, however, that the incident may have harmful effects upon Senator Walsh's future. It may even be that the story was concocted and delivered to the news reporter by political enemies of Senator Walsh in an effort to sty mie his aspirations as an opponent of Senator Morse. Un til the Coos Bay reporter reveals the source of his infor mation, something he probably won't do, it will be difficult to prir the motive behind the story. But, in any event, the embarrassment to Cordon and Patterson, considering the fact that each has a large and loyal following, is apt to have repercussions unfavorable to the candidacy of the veteran Coos Bay legislator.

Twenty-eight voted agamst it and 10 did not trouble to reply. The call was ill-advised from the start. It was issued at a time when there were still fair hopes of ar ranging a political conference through the negotiators at l'an munjom. The Allied effort there has been to try to' confine parti cipation in a conference to the actual belligerents in Korea. To shift the wnoie conference issue to the larger U.N forum might be to yield this principle. Furthermore, when India took the initiative the future of 22.01)0 UN-held prisoners was unsettled. The Indian leaders no douut imag ined that if a UN session rouid be set on Korea, it might compel the UN command to hold these prisoners until such a discussion might conclude. That would have gotten the Indians off a hook they did not like. In their capacity as chairman nation of the Neutral Repatriation Convmissiiiii. the Indians were obliged under the Korean armis tice terms to free the 22,000 pri soners on Jan. 23 whether or not a conference had occurred by that dale.

Bran nan, who was secretary of agricul ture in the Truman administration, urged the Oregon Farmers Union Thursday night to continue its bat tle to retain price supports at 90 per rent of parity. He declared that the Kisenhower administration is trying to sell the farmers a false theory that low prices bring about reduced produc tion. "Fanners try to produce a little more when prices are down in or der to get the necessary dollars to pay mortgages and to send the kids to school," Brannan said. Brannan said there now is a strong move txi destrov all price supports, ard that it is based on the theory that low prices will re duce production.

He was a strange admixture of savage and Europe an gentlemean, as gentle as a child or a wanton killer if the occasion warranted. Yet the doughty Scots who eventually bossed the fur trade of America could not, h.-d they tried, have bred a type so well designed to conquer the wilderness as were these children of the forest acci dentally produced by the corrup tion and crueity of the French government in the day of its kings. In its effort to hold a monopoly of the fur trade either for itself r its favored contractors, the colonial French government in Canada attempted to confine the business of trapping fur bearing animals to the Indian, from whom the French governments representatives would purchase the season's catch. Great fairs were held to which the natives were invited to bring their peltry. Under the excitement of whiskey the baubles of the Frenchmen took on great value, and the In dian was shamelessly cheated of his goods. The poor peasants who had been brought from France to serve the church ar.d the aristocracy were denied lh very rudiments of life. They were slaves to the parish or the rich landowners. But perhaps Contempt Action Against Gambler Ordered Dropped NEW YORK i - A federal Judge Thursday granted a govern ment motion to dismiss a contempt of Congress charge against gamb ler Frank Erickson. The charge grew out of Erick son's refusal to answer questions before the U. S. Senate Crime In vestigating Committee in tho spring of 1951. Federal Judge John F. X. Mc Gohey dismissed the incident, aft er U. S. attorney J. Edward Lum bard explained that recent court decisions made it "impossible to convict" Erickson. The moon-faced Erickson, one time kingpin of a multi-million-dollar book-making empire, cur rently is serving a six-month fed eral prison term for income tax evasion at Milan, Mich. He had been facing trial on the contempt charge, after his release. Erickson's refusal to reply to 74 questions posed by the crime in vestigators. He claimed answering them might tend to incriminate him. Lumbard said that court deci sions, handed down since the crime he; rings, have "broadened the scope of the privilege against self-incrimination under the fifth amendment." Under these decisions, Lumbard added, the courts "have generally found that the very nature of Wie hearings conducted by the Kefauv er (Senate crime! committee . . . was such as to create a setting adverse to the witness." He said that as a result the pros ecution h-s been unsuccessful "in the case of virtually every witness who was indicted for contempt for hiding behind the fifth amendment before the Kefauver committee." ICAL5 BV WR PEERS' some of these masters' eyes were fascinated by the wealth of furs pouring into the land from which a privUedged few drew all the benefits. We do know this. Illegal fur trading was carried on by wealthy individuals outside the combine, and who could they hire more easily than these discontent ed men of new France. Small groups of common men slipped i:ito the forests, there to become a part of the wilderness Itself. Th'jy did not dare ccmc back to the cities, because they were branded as outlaws, as il legal poachers in the fur lands in violation of the king's laws. This banishment from the society of the populated centers mattered to Ihem not at all. They had become free men, free of law, free of the church end free of the restric tions of society. They married Indian women, sometimes several women. Their off-spring was numerous and formed a distinct new type of men. These half breed children married other half breed children, and the ratio of French and In dian blood was kept constant for the most part. They drank, fought, killed and stole as they pleased from their enemies, be they In dian or whife. They lived by cour age and resourcefulness. They drew the wilderness about them as a mantle, and they wore it with the grace of a cavalier. The settled ways of civilization had no call on their hearts. It was the unspoiled wonder of the wilderness and new plaeas. They were the pioneers of a new era who vent'ired into the unknown with a ribald song in rythm to the swing of the canoe paddle. They were destined to open up a new world, for others. With the advent of colonization they beat a slow retreat across the continent to new and untrapped wildernesses. Their las' stand was in Oregon, but the approach of civilized ways caused them to move into the far recesses of mountain valleys in order that his way of life con tinued undistrubed. Many of Douglas county's solid citizens in these modern times are Jescender.ts of these colorful people, t ven so. you will find some of these families in the south, em end of the count.v whose hahiu and viewpoints on life are little cnanged from those of their color ful ancestors.
