Stanton ' The AI Sarena mining case was discussed in this col umn yesterday. We continue that discussion today to ex pose the tactics of half-truths, distortion and misrepresen ' tation used by Democratic candidates in the current cam paign. . We have already outlined briefly the history of the ' mining property, showing that the McDonalds, who held claims on. 464 acres in the Rogue National Forest, had complied with every provision of the mining laws and had submitted their application for patent, then were stalled for six years before a change of administration brought in a new solicitor to the Department of Interior. Tha new solicitor was asked by Congressman Ells worth to review the Sarena case. The Congressman re ports that examination of the files showed proof of mineral ization, repeatedly furnished by the claimants during the ; six-year interval, to be missing, The solicitor ordered another examination to deter mine Whether mineralization was sufficient to warrant is suance of patent. For this examination an engineer of unquestioned in tegrity was selected. He was picked from Oregon's de partment of geology and mineral industries. This engineer surveyed the property and selected areas to be examined for mineral content. Four field men from the U. S. Bti- : reau of Mines were called from work in Washington State to make the actual cuttings. Samples were sent to an.in- dependent, reputable assay firm. The report showed' min eralization tallying very closely -- a few cents higher per : ton. in fact with the assays previously submitted by the McDonalds. Arbitrary Action ' . ' Upon this conclusive showing, the solicitor issued the patent, for which application had been made by the claim ants in 1949. .' ; ' This case is one In which federal bureaucrats deliber ately flouted the law and substituted their own socialistic policies. ' For six years they subjected the claimants to delay after delay, imposed barriers, caused heavy expense and, . according to statements by Congressman Ellsworth, alter ed the files by removing, or withholding, proofs of mineral ization furnished by the McDonalds. Candidates in the current .campaign are charging that McKay and Ellsworth participated in a "give-away," that the McDonalds were after the timber on the property rath er than the low-grade ore contained in the claim. That ; this is deliberate misrepresentation and , distortion is ob vious from the fact that all when timber on the claims The kvrjn the case was .. complied with the law. They were entitled to patent. But their claim was arbitrarily denied. The law was flouted and ignored by bureaucrats. We do not argue that our mining laws should not be amended. These laws were passed in 1879. Attempts have been made at nearly every recent session of Congress to provide various amendments, particularly to confine miner al operations to subsurface . rights. These amendments have been before numerous sessions controlled by Demo crats. . ' .. Ellsworth Gained Improvement Refuting the Democratic candidates in their charges against Congressman Ellsworth is the fact that he is the only congressman who has succeeded in getting a substan tial improvement in the mining law. Ha successfully in troduced and maneuvered a bill confining mining claims on Oregon and California grant lands to subsurface rights. He accomplished this after three attempts, only because the 0 & C. lands are local in character. The mining bloc has managed to keep similar provisions from being ap plied to other areas of the public domain. And the fight against amendments has been led principally by Demo cratic congressmen, ' . . , The Democratic candidates in their distorted charges against McKay and Ellsworth are lending their support to deliberate flouting of law, substitution of bureaucratic reg ulation for legislative -enactment, abuse of the rights of individuals and free enterprise, and, if 'alteration of the files in the Sarena case whs deliberately done, they coun tenance malfeasance in office.: Are candidates who -yill lend themselves to such tac tics deserving of consideration from patriotic and honest voters? NEW YORK VP) There are few greater pleasures in life than motoring particularly if you don't know how to drive a car yourself. I never have learned to operate an automobile and now, in my mid-forties, I have decided to spend the rest of my life as a machine age parasite and have no inten tion of learning to drive a car. My altitude isn't based on any nope mat me norse will stage a comeback as America's most pop ular vehicle. I never learned to rid a horse for the same reasons I never learned .to drive i car I never felt sure I could keep eith er on the road very long. People always seem startled when they meet i grownup man who admitted he can't or won't drive a car. For some reason they also get mildly indignant. They tend to put you down either as an Idiot or perhaps a secret conspir ator against the American way of life. Actually there are hundreds of thousands . of adult today who don't drive a ear. Some don't be cause they dislike machinery. Some don't because they have chauffeurs to do it for them (this is the class I'm trying to join). And aome, like a number of air. plane pilots, simply are afraid ol automobilea. -. Historically speaking, of course, most of the great men of the hu man race .never learned to drive filings were made at times had no appreciable value. clear. Claimants had fully automobiles such as Julius Caes ar, Napoleon, Galileo, Abraham Lincoln, or, I suspect, even Al bert Einstein, who has done as much as any man to unlock the secrets ofthe universe. A car is an urgent necessity to day in most parts of America, and is becoming increasingly so. But if you dwell in the heart of a big city, as I dn, an automobile can become a financial and nerve wrecking nuisance. Costa More Than Baby It costs me more to feed, water, nil, and bed down a car in crowd ed Manhattan than it does a baby, and I'd simply rather have the baby. t find it cheaper to use any number of taxi cabs than to support a car of my own in the style It demands. When I come borne in a cab, and pay the driver I'm through with the problem of transportation. I don't have to have my wife come out and throw sandwiches to me to keep from "Watch That Next Step, Cousin, It's 1 ' By DOUGLAS LARSEN , . NEA Staff Cerrtspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) A young matron in town, eager to volunteer some time to the cause of the Democratic Party, agreed to solicit "Dollars (or Democrats" on Connecticut Ave. the other day. The woman handling the drive stationed her in front of one build ing that was her exclusive terri tory. .That evening the weary volun teer reported, "I guess I'm a fail ure, I only collected $25 all after noon." The astonished woman in charge assured her that she waa actually a howling success. "Xou see," she explained, "l put you in front of that building to test you because they were having a big Republican meeting inside all day. You have just collected $25 for the Democrats from the top brass of the GUI'. WHEN HE WAS stationed in the Pentagon, Brig. -Gen. frank Dorn was one of the most popular fig ures in town,- as a handsome bachelor and famous cook wbo wrote a book, on the subject. When he retired lie announced he was leaving Washington to go to Calif ornia and write. When he arrived out there he met another retired general who advised, "Pinky, forget this writ ing business, take a tip from Ike and try painting because it'i eas ier. Dorn took that advice and has now become one of the most pro mising artists on the West Coast, selling his stuff for more than he dreamed he could make writing. THE ATTEMPTS OF scientists and officials of the Atomic Energy Commission to cover up the in side story of the development of the H-bomb is the very reason that the new controversial book "The Hydrogen Bomb" was writ ten. Authors Jim Shcplcy and Clay Blair are Washington news mag- azme reporters who have covered le atomic beat in town for years. "But every time we tried to get at some of the unclassified back ground on the development of the hydrogen bomb we discovered a supersensitive reaction on the sub ject," Jim says. "The more material we got on it the more everybody would warn us not to print it and try to get us to bury the information," he tells. Well, when that happens, you know you have got a big story so we decided to put It into a book," he explains. The first publisher Ihey ap proached, by the way, turned the idea down on the grounds that there wouldn't be much public in terest in the subject. IT APPEARS that word has gone out from GOP headquarters to Administration officials that they should put more humor in the public speechmaking. Norman P. Mason, commission er of Federal Housing Adminis tration at Swampscott, Mass.: "Last April when I took charge of KHA's affairs I could not help but think of the story of the horse thief, standing on the gallows, who said, "Sheriff, you know this starving while I circle the block looking for a parking place. On motoring trips with a friend I don't get all tense and upset be cause he's doing the steering and I am not. Most drivers are that waythey can't relax unless they are at the wheel, themselves. When you don't know how to drive, your Ignorance can be quite blissful and refreshing. You are free to enjoy the beauti ful scenery, and your friend is free to enjoy that fine view of the white line painted down the middle of the highway. This makes me sound like a selfish opportunist. And perhaps I am. But it works two ways. Most motorists seem to get real pleasure out of driving, and some like to have someone like me along because It gives them a feel ing of superiority. "Can't understand a guy like you," they said. "You don't know what you're missing." Whatever I'm missing, it sure Isn't the scenery. is the first time I've done this. Would you go a bit easy until I sort of get the hang of the thing?" Assistant Secretary of Labor J. Ernest Wilkins in Los Angeles: "When we discuss the economy these days, I am reminded of the tourist who was being driven through the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains outside of Los Angeles. "Hilly here, isn't it?' he asked the guide, who replied, 'No. it's just low over there.1 " Robert B. Murray,. Jr., Dept. of Commerce Undersecretary for Transportation in Chicago: "It seemed so unobvious to pre vious administrations that when I went to Washington I had to in troduce the Administrator of the Maritime Administration to the Administrator of Civil Aeronautics Administration and then introduce these two gentlement to the Com missioner of the Bureau of Pub lic Roads. They didn't even know each other." In The Day's News (Continued from Page One) plain in a little more detail this business of "futures" trading. An "exchange" is a market place where buyers and sellers gather to trade in commodities and securities. (The best known commodity exchange in our coun try is the Chicago Board of Trade. The best known securities market ing place is the New York Stork Exchange.) At these places the trading is by bid and take the buyers bid and the sellers acccot or reject the bids. The trading is in both "cash and "futures." A cash trade is for IMMEDIATE delivery. A futures trade is for delivery at some fu ture time. A futures deal repre sents the combined judgment of buyers and sellers as to what the price (based on supply and de mand) will be at some FUTURE lime. It Is obvious that the bulk of the SPECULATIVE trading is in these "futures." If a trader thinks demand will exceed supplv, he BIDS UP for future delivery. II he thinks supply will exceed de mand, he "bids down." That is, he contracts to deliver a certain amount at a certain price at a certain date. This practice Is known as "selling short." At any rate. It Is apparent that by collusion among traders to lim it the dealings in a certain com modity the market can be thimble rigged for the benefit of the spec ulators. The federal trade commission al leges that this is what happened in the case of coffee trrvlinj on the New York Coffee and Sugar &xcnange. I think 4he opinion prevails among the uninformed that com modity and security exeronce3 are THIMBLERIGGING INSTITU T10NS that ought to be done away with. i That Isn't true. Let me ci!e an Instance; On the Chicago Board of Trade soybean prices shot up NEARLY NINE CENTS at one time. Why? The reason lies in the torrential rains that fell in a considerable area of the soybean belt over the week-end, The reasoning was that the rains would damage soybeans not yet harvested and thus reduce the supply. That is a sound economic, rea son for higher prices. This Is the truth: The business of government Is to see . to it that trading on the commodity and security exchang es is HONESTLY CONDUCTED just as it is the business of govern ment to see to it that ALL business Is honestly conducted. This also is true: Those who seek monopolistic control of the markets, FOR THEIR OWN BEXEFIT.are un clean birds who befoul the nest of an Ego Buster!"Neuberger Lashes Neuberger's Integrity Enlightened By Record ROSEBURG Neuberger has announced that he is intending to make a major speech in Southern Oregon on "Integrity." S nee Neu berger's integrity has on many oc casions been seriously questioned, a look at his record may be en lightening. Writing in Harper's Magazine about his campaign for State Senator, Neuberger is quot ed as saying in effect that as the campaign progressed,, he 'ound himself deviating more and more from the truth. He then speculates at to how far from the truth he would deviate if he were running for the United States Senate, which is, in substance, an admission that he would, not hesitate to de viate from the fruth as much as might be necessary to accomsMsh his ends. 5"" Fortunately we'do'not have, far to seek for the answer to that question. His' whole campaign has been one of half-truths, falsehoods and deception. He has inisrc scnted Senator Cordon's stand on the Hill amendment to the tide lands bill. He tells the voters in effect that because of Senator Cor don's vote on this bill the tax payers bill for school taxes is in creased by thirty per cent, when, as a matter of fact, the Congress has never since 1776 appropriated so much as a dollar 'or public schools, and Cordon's vote had nothing whatsoever to do with school taxes. He tells the voters that the Cordon - Ellsworth bill is a sell-out to the big timber in terests, when as a matter of fact It merely provides for payment in kind for timber lands taken by the United States under the right of eminent domain instead of paying for such property in cash. If the government takes" timber from the owner for public use, what is wrong in paying him with timber of equal va)jie? Neubergers' con tention in this respect is false. He believes, apparently, that if the charge is repeated often enough it will be believed. He has accused Senator Cordon of voting against ah appropriation for cancer research wnen. as a matter of fact, the Senator ap proved and voted for a liberal ap propriation for cancer research, but voted against a motion made for political purposes for an in crease in the amount when such Increase had no chance of pass age. The same misrepresentations have been made to deceive inter ested persons relative to trans mission lines. In Neuberger's mis representations in regard to these matters, he is, no doubt, being aid ed and abetted by his campaign manager, Morse. Practically everything Neuberger complains about is knowingly placed in a false light by him. He is absolute ly devoid of integrity and should be repudiated at the noils. That course would also spell the poli tical doom of the Despicable Morse, a consummation devoutly to be wished. GEORGE DAVIS C. V. Route. s Roseburg, Oregon honest business.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Richard L. Neuberger, Demo cratic nominee for U. S. senator, continued bis attack on Republi can power policies in a talk at Klamath Falls Monday. He said Sen. Guy Cordon, the Republican candidate, and Secre tary of the Interior McKay were responsible for the sale of the cen tral Oregon Bonneville transmis sion line to the California-Oregon rower Co. This "doomed the region to high power rates," Neuberger said. It "ruled out the possibility that a farmers' electric co-op or PUD might compete with Copco, and thus force down Copco's high rates." he added. Neuberger said that Cordon s re election could result in sale of other Bonneville lines. Sen. Wayne Morse, stumping the state for Neuberger and other Democratic candidates, also criti cized the administration in talks at Astoria and Newport. He cited what he said were Indi cations of slackening business ac tivity and declared: "The Republican-administration and Congress have not only refused to take the necessary action but have refused to admit that a problem exists." Editorial Comment From The Oregon Press GUSHING GEYSER By Deb Addison In the " ,' Klamath Falls Herald & News If Richard were successful . In defeating Senator Guy Cordon of Roseburg he might, like Senator Morse, eventually have a geyser named after him. A note from Yellowstone Park gives this comment on a new gey ser. "Locally known as Wayne Morse. It spouts off frequently and for long periods ot lime. Gets much more attention than it deserves though there is nothing really to it but hot air. Even when not in full blow it bubbles and bubbles to whomever will listen. Loves to be photographed. Soon expected to be extinct." WITH IMS The Sensational New Wall Paint! Velvet-Smooth!
