Stanton Secretary of State Earl Newbry, seeking the Republi can nomination for governor in opposition to the incum bent, Paul Patterson, seems to us to have listened to some very poor campaign strategy advice. A candidate seeking such an important office usually has a group of close friends whose aid he seeks in form ing a campaign platform. Newbry appears to us to have been most inept in his campaign for the gubernatorial nomination, and we can accredit the ineptness only to the advice he has accepted. Newbry, for instance, has centered his campaign on a theme, "Build Oregon." He has spoken in glowing but abstract terms about Oregon's great industrial potential and hag expressed his firm intention of working toward exna'nsion of the state's industrial economy. Obviously any person who might serve as governor would have industrial expansion as one of his primary ob jectives. No governor would neplect any opportunity to improve the state's economy. Newbry's enthusiasm doubt less would be no greater than Work Already Started rwnlnlv thp Is little now being done. Governor Patterson obtained authority from the legislature for creation of the Oregon Develop ment Commission and appointed well quaniiea memoers to that commission. It already has made an important contribution during the few months it has ocen organueu. The work is limited by the fact that the money appropri ation by the legislature was barely sufficient for office maintenance. If the commission is to enlarge its field of operation, bigger appropriations will be needed. Wp doubt that Newbry can obtain more money from the legislature than can Patterson. It would seem that the theme "Htiild uregon was 111 cHosen, as it plays into the hands of Patterson who already is well advnncod in that program. Newbry has been extremely critical of alleged penny pinching by Harry Porman, state budget director. Dor mnn linn IWn nssaileH because he has made purchases di rect from manufacturers instead of buying through Oregon distributors. The harrassed Oregon taxpayer, we believe, isn't con cerned by denial of commissions to Oregon firms. He is anxious that every possible saving be made in the han dling of public money. ' The fact that Newbry hns been pro claiming Dorman as a "penny-pincher," indicating he would install a less aggressive financial watchdog, would appear to be a poor campaign appeal to taxpayers. Stymied At Ceneral Election The worst "boner," insofar as strategy is concerned, It would appear to us, is Newbry's stand on the public power issue. Apparently with the idea ol crowning raucrson oe ;hind the 8-ball, Newbry has endorsed the public power program, and has issued challenges right and left. This stand, coupled with other of his platform planks, places him in an almost parallel position with the Demo cratic candidate. Should Newbry gain the Republican nomination, he would come up to the general election run ning on practically the same platform with Joe Carson, Tims Newbrv's stratecrv umiou ..... . " ii ttus morning tor i lias ruled out any major contest on issues should he icatnjof American fair the November election Earl Newbry has made State of Oregon as a legislator and as secretary of state. But it would appear that in his campaign tor the uepui) lican nomination for governor lie has surrounded himself with poor advisers, and inept political strategists and help ers. If, as a candidate for office, he accepts poor advice and appoints poor campaign aides, could we expect him as governor to heed only good advice and to make only good appointments?" 'Jdaf NEW YORK M How can you get bananas to stay ripe longer by making them breathe less? How tough should a jelly bean be? What is the correct wall thickness of a piece of macaroni? How can you tell whether canned peas are young, mid dle-aged or elderly? These problems would baffle the best of housewives, but a man one man anyway finds them quite simple. He is George Garnatz, a pioneer in the rapidly expanding held of food engineering. "I've been stuck w'th food prob lems for 32 years." said Garnaiz, "ever since I wrote a graduate thesis on the soda cracker when 1 was studying to be a chrmir.il engineer. Nobody before had evrr written a thosis about sod i crack ers. Chemical engineers then didn'l pay much attention to the atudy of food processes." Today, as director of the Kroger Food Foundation in Cincinnati. Garnatz and a staff of 25 work in a laboratory fuil of weird ma ' chines developed to see that mama gets what she pays for at the grocery store. "Our devices test food products mechanically and objectively,'' said Garnalr "They take the ele ment of human opinion out of it, so we can get down to the real facts about food. "Last year wc made more man 187.000 scientific inspections of i 1.000 food Hems. Only a fraction of one per cent had to be rejected because tne manuiaciurcrs nau misrepresented them or they weren't up to government grade." With a simple micrometer Gar nalz can measure a piece of mac aroni to be sure that it has the proper wall thickness. "A quick-cooking macaroni should be about 26-1 .000th of an inch thick," he said. "Slow conking macaroni can be up to 4-100th of an inch. We can allow up to M.oooth of an inch variation and still guarantee uniform cooking quality." Ore. Thur.

Poor devil! He's a French repli ca of our own General George Patton. That is to say. he's a fiKhting fool. Like Patton. he's an aristocrat. Like Patton. he has an amazing capacity for getting into scrapes. Like Patton, nc has al ways been able to fight his way out of Kiem on the battlefield, with reckless disregard for his own life. Like Patton, he and .lis wife are a military learn. Last Friday, with Dien Bien Phu's defenses crum bling, he phoned her at Hanoi and told her not to worry that he'd been a captive before and that SOMEHOW they'd meet again. He was referring to the tact mat he had been taken prisoner by the Germans in 1940 (when France was crumbling before the German drive) but escaped to join the French resistance. UNLIKE Patton, de Castries is fighting UTTER savages. In a tragedy like Dien Bien Phu, the fate of a general is no more tragic than the fate of a private.

Dick enson was one of a group of more than 20 American soldiers held prisoners by the Communists in Korea who declared their inten tion to stay with communism. Later he changed his mind and asked to be repatriated. Thereaft er the Army court-martialed him for allegedly collaborating with the enemy. Dickenson has now been order ed dishonorably discharged after he serves 10 years at nam labor. His case of course, subject to automatic rcview by the Army board and the Secretary of the Army. If the verdict is upheld, i Dickenson s attorneys said they would carry the matter to the U.S. Court of Military Appeals. It is important to understand what Dickenson is charged with. He is not accused of yielding to extreme physical or psychological pressure irom tne enemy, as was Col. Frank H. Schwable of the Marine Corps, who along with more than a dozen others signed a faise confession that he had taken part in germ warfare. Dickenson is accused of willing collaboration with the Communist enemy over the two and a half years he was a prisoner. Further more, he is specifically charge! with informing to the Reds on a fellow prisoner .who was planning to escape. That man. Edward M. Gaither. told the court-martial last month that after he had confided his es cape plan to Dickenson he was brutally beaten by the Commu nists and put before a mock firing squad.

We know the strain of combat or of prison life will prove too much for some, nd they will break physically or mentally. The pressure can be frightful, and we who sit in our comfortable homes thousands of miles from the scene must strive to be com passionate as we contemplate the trailty of some men. Nevertheless, neither we as a people nor particularly the Army as our instrument of defense can condone willing cooperation with the enemy for the obvious pur- pose ol easing tne personal hard ships of war. An army which takes no punitive action against such a free-handed breach of discipline cannot hope to be a touch and ef fective fighting force. If the reviewing board and court find, as the court-martial found, that Dickenson did do the things charged, then the verdict in his case is unlikely to be altered His only hope is to demonstrate that he did not commit acts which no army can tolerate and still call itself an army.

This, of course, is understand able in view of the history of re action which personifies the edi torial policy of your paper as well as its protege of Congressman Ellsworth. 1 can only assume that you class, as socialistic, any meas ure that will benefit anyone other than a select group of higher bracket, self-styled aristocracy, such as that which manifests it self in the Congressional vote of Mr. Ellsworth. 1 will not dwell too much on the issues that have been given a great deal of comment in the press, but, rather, those that have not been quite so prominently in the public eye. To go into the pub lic power and Hells Canyon con troversy and the advocacy of Mr. McKay and Mr. Ellsworth, to give back to the local people, the potential of the Snake River (of course the local people arc slight ly removed, mainly being large eastern corporations) wouid only be repititious.

Vet, in HR 6200, a bill to increase funds for international education activ- !'". including Voice of America, Mr. Ellsworth assumed his usual isolationist viewpoint and voted in opposition.

To most forward thinking men and women, the juvenile delin quency problem is appalling to say the least. Our first defense is to correct the environments which breed this condition, among our children.
