THE SARENA QUESTION
By Charles V. 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?

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

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

This makes me sound like a

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:

control of the markets, FOR
THEIR OWN BEXEFIT.are un

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.

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."
