ELECTION NOTES
By Charles V. Stanton
Republicans are chortling over what they describe m
a "protest" vote bv Democrats against Senator Wayne
nr wnn,iv Smith, virtually inknown in Oreeon politics,
1HJI OC uumj ....... . v - - ,
came up with a surprising total as an opponent of the in
cumbent senator. Republicans, naturally, are e ated,
claiming the Smith vote to be an indication of weakness
on the part of Morse. . ,
While I have previously stated my opinion that Morse
is not nearly as strong as many people have been led
to believe, I contend that Republicans shouldn't start
counting chickens before they're hatched.
Doug McKay piled up a healthy lead over Phil Hitch
cock to take the Republican nomination. But what assur
ance have Republicans that a large part of the Hitchcock
vnl was not a "protest" against McKay? How many
of the Hitchcock supporters will be in the Morse column
in November? - .,'... j
Although McKay is an Eisenhower, middle-of-the-road,
Republican, Hitchcock stands more on the left. There is
a big question mark connected with any effort to predict
how many of the Hitchcock followers will swing to the
ultra-liberal Morse rather than to McKay. Perhaps defec
tions from the Republican ranks will more than offset the
Democratic protest against Morse. '
My advice to the Republicans is to run scared from
now until November.
A heart ailment apparently is becoming a valuable po
litical asset. President Eisenhower's unfortunate experi
ence did not in any way impair his popularity with Ore
gon voters.
But consider the case of our good friend Lew Wallace!
A scarred and battle-weary veteran of Oregon's politi
cal wars, a perennial candidate, Wallace received one of
the best votes of his career after suffering a heart attack.
Seeking the Democratic nomination for governor, Wallace
made a good start, then announced his withdrawal follow
ing an illness resulting from a heart condition. News of
his withdrawal was widely publicized. Yet, though no
longer a candidate, he swept Douglas County and lagged
by only a comparatively few votes in the state as a whole.
As in the race for U. S. Senator, Republicans
again are pointing to the unexpected Wallace vote as a
sign that the successful candidate, Senator Holmes, is
weak. But I'm more inclined to the belief that thousands
of Lew's friends throughout Oregon, and he can number
them in both parties, wanted to express their
If that surmise is correct, they surely did it in
sympathy,
a big way
Some of the returns from Friday's vole appear freak-
!sh. They certainly had News-Review tabulators confused
for a while.
As returns are taken by telephone, the operator at the
newspaper end tries to check figures carefully. It is easy
to misunderstand certain figures as they are pronounced.
So the ODerator auicklv estimates the total number of
votes represented and, if a figure seems, to be out of line
compared with the apparent total number of voters, he
calls for a check.
Friday's returns had operators checking frequently.
Many voters cast ballots only on contested positions. Thus,
on positions' without contest, a precinct might report 40
votes, then jump to 75 on a contested race. It made
things quite confusing until the pattern was realized.
The News-Review is extremely grateful for all the
help given Friday night and Saturday by people in every
part of the county. The newspaper office served as the
center for collection of unofficial election returns. Radio
Stations KRNR and KRXL set up remote control facilities
in the newspaper office, making possible the broadcasting
of returns as quickly as they were received. Hundreds
of people throughout the county participating in assem
bling and reporting returns. Thus all persons interested
in the election were able to follow the progress of the count
and loam the results.
This reporting by the newspaper and radio station
is conducted at much expense as a service to the public.
Those persons who assisted so ably should realize that
they performed a service greatly appreciated by this news
paper and the cooperating radio stations and by the public
in general.

ICC To Draft Full-Scale
Plan For Government And
Industry On Boxcar Issue
By A. ROBERT SMITH
News-Review Corraspondent .
WASHINGTON The tangible re
sult of the Senate's inquiry into, the
freight car shortage which peren
nially afflicts the Pacific North
west is that the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be directed
to draft a comprehensive plan by
which both industry and govern
ment can cure this condition.
This idea was advanced last week
by a representative of the Western
Forest Industries Association, an
organization of the relatively small

west who are among the hardest

borrowing heavily for expansion.
Why are interest rates rising?
Th answer is simple. Money is
a commodity. It responds to the
law of supply and demand.
When monev seeking investment i
plentiful, interest rates fall. When
money is scarcer, interest rates
As of now, money is scarcer be
cause of the demand for it for the
construction of new buildings and
the purchase of new equipment.
Why is money scarcer?
Again the answer is simple. Peo
ple are using more of it for new
buildings and new plants, among
other things and at the same time
people are SAVING less of it.
At a recent meeting of the Na
tional Association of Mutual Sav
ings Banks, W. Randolph Burgess,
under secretary of the treasury,
told his hearers:
"Personal savings are account
ing now for only about tV per cent
t inrniM after taxes as
against an average of about 8 per
ncnt in niher recent years. This is
nicTiTBRiNH because it is an indi
cation that we are not saving today
quite enough to finance the rapid
rate of growth of which we are
Mh.muita mnahle.
"We need to develop THRIFT
and encourage it by attractive re
wards. ,
What is an attractive reward for
thrift?
I Once more the answer is simple.
'Higher wages for money are the
reward lor inrm. msuci
for monev cause people to save
up more money. The wage for
money is called interest.
SO
You see
Hiohor interest rates are not al

money needed for expansion of in
dustry they are beneficial to

Now for the $64 question:
if u need more money for in
vestment in new plants and new
equipment to provide more jobs
for all of us, why doesn't the gov
ernment start its printing presses
and provide us with the money we
need instead of requiring us to

Well, it doesn't work.
Whv rinpsn't it work?
T nWt know. I doubt if anybody
knows, but the fact remains that
it doesn't. . .
It always results in bad trounie

Proposed Water Pact
For Klamath Questioned
EUREKA. Calif. Ifl A pro
posed water compact between Cal
ifornia and Oregon was questioned
but not opposed Friday at a final
hearing held by the Klamath Riv
er Commission.
The river rises in Oregon ana
flows through California. Main
Diimose of Ihc compact would be
to give Oregon some of the bene
fits of the water that rises in us
area.
R. F. Denbo. manager of the
Eureka Chamber of Commerce,
told the commission at Friday's
hearing that the river below the
nrnunn border should be main'
tained for recreational and log
lrnnnnrtnlinn mirnoSCS.
Boyd Jackson and Jesse L.
Kirk, members of the Klamath
Indian Reservation Executive
Committee, asked if the commis
sion had power to furnish water
storage facilities on the reserva
tion. Nelson Bowles, Humboldt-Del
Norte Counly representative from
California, said the commission
did not.
It was dulckly endorsed by Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson iu-wasn.1.
chairman of the Senate lntarstate
Commerce Committee which has
been holding the inquiry. And this
week a resolution was introduced
in the Senate calling on the ICC to
map out a long range program de
signed to eliminate future car short
ages. The resolution is sponsored
by Magnuson and Sens. Wayne
Morse, Richard L. Neubcrger ID
Ore.), Henry M. Jackson ID
Wash. ) and Milton Young and Wil
liam Langcr (R-N.D.).
In suggesting this approacn io
the senators, Leonard Netzorg,
WFIA counsel, said it would give
the ICC the job of coming lip with
a comprehensive package plan
which both shippers and the rail
roads would help dra. lie saia n
might include ICC req6ests for ad
ditional authority or other laws
that might stimulate freight car
construction and sec to it that the
cars are evenly distributed through
out the country.
After commending Netzorg for
making "a very justifiable" sug
gestion, JIagnuson pointed out that
onlv two weeks ago the Office of
Defense Mobilisation at his request
had issued rapid tax amortization
certificates to railroads for 49.000
more freight cars under construc

During the summer about 1,000
visitors a month come to his rude
tar paper workshop shack it's
"20 miles up a dead end road"
to watch Robv cut and polish the
gem rocks he bulldozes himself out
of the hills.
It is a matter of complete indif
ference to Roby whether they buy

"I just like to have 'cm come

"I'm not trying to run Tiffany or

he said. "What I do is different
from what they do."
Roby, whose keen blue eyes at
51 outmatch the faded blue of his
overalls, fell in love as a boy with
"the pretty rocks" he found. There
are about 30 varieties of stones

a stone on one hand while attempt
ing to cut it with a chisel held in
the other.
He read everv book he could
find on the subject. He exper
imented with crude tools, home
made techniques. Now, after more
than 30 stubborn years, he is rec
ognized as a master lapidary.
He was paid-$20 for the first
gem tie succeeded in cutting. To
day he gets up to $2,300 for a
brooch. Sometimes, when he turns
out a fine stone that catches his

"I kmda like to keep it around

West Coast Pulp Mill
Workers Accept Offer
PORTLAND I Agreement on
a one-year contract granting an
nviiraiip six nar cent wage in
crease to 19,000 West coast pulp
and paper mill workers was
reached here Friday. ,
The contract was negotiated by
the Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill
Workers Union, 'the International
Brotherhood of Paper Makers and
the Pacific Coast Assn. of Pulp
and Paper Manufacturers in a 14
dav session.
The increase amounts to an
average 12.3-ccnt hourly boost for
the workers, an employer spokes
man said. Another S cents hourly
was granted to journeymen me
chanics. The new base scale will
he $1.94 per hour for men and
S1.64'j for women.
Inc uiliiiE iringe ocneiiis in va
cations and medical plans the in
crease amounts to a 14'4 cent
package. A fourth week of vaca
tion was granted to employes with
over 25 yeara service.
Indian Affairs, likened the ICC
package plan to the program re
quested by Congress some years
ago for integrating American In
dians into the main stream of so
ciety. The Indian Bureau, as a re
sult, came up with a comprehen
sive program, and congress since
then has been enacting various
bills to implement the Indian plan.
When the boxcar resolution was
introduced this week, it was ex
plained to the Senate by Sen. Morse
that it would allow for a "searching
and intensive study of the entire
car shortage problem by the ICC
to be followed bv recommenda
tions to the Congress for legislation
which will once and for all a lie
viate these annual shortages in
rail transportation."
"The ICC." said Morse, "has
been in business since prior to the
turn of the century. It has accumu
lated a wealth of facts and experi
ence and hi ideally equipped to
make a penetrating analysis of this
problem."
During the boxcar hearings of
the past several months, senators
have been critical of the ICC for
its recent order 910, which will halt
slow transit shipments of lumber
and fruit and vegetables from the
Pacific Coast eastward. Many
small lumbermen have protested
that this order will put them out
of business.
While the order as been tempor
arily held up because of a court
injunction issued by the federal
district court for Oregon, the ICC
intends putting it into effect as
soon as this legal barrier is moved
aside.
The main complaint against this
order from senators has been that
it came without prior warning to
shippers and it was admittedly a
stopgap measure invoked by the
tec due to a rising snoriage ot
cars.
What the Senate Inquiry has
come down to is that the ICC
should draft an overall plan of at
tack to wipe out the car shortage
problem to the advantage of every
one concerned shippers, carriers
and the public at large instead
of relying on stopgap measures
such as order 910. And whether
this means government stepping in
with new regulations or subsidies

But early Friday, U.S. commis

said he thought the document was ;

Later, William Furst, attorney

such a list could be used for direct

Strong pressures have been put
upon the Eisenhower administra-l
tion to give arms to Israel in the
bitter Middle Eastern dispute with
the Arab countries. Yet this govern
ment has stubbornly resisted those
urgings.
nne nf tha nnncinal reasons why
has now been carefully expounded
bv Secretary of State Dulles.
We are trying to avoid the kind
of "war by proxv" with the Soviet
Union in the Middle East which
Germany and Russia fought in the
bitter Spanish civil war from 1937
to 1939.
Then Russia threw materiel and
technical manpower into the bal
ance on the side of the Spanish Re
publican forces. In opposition l.er
many committed strength to Fran,
co's armies and a preview of World
War II was had in miniature.
COGNIZANT of the peril for the
world in this military adventuring.
Dulles said in a recent speech:
under Soviet influence. I
This is exactly what we do not
want. We fear that those who urge
arms for Israel, while motivated
by understandable sympathy,
would cavalierly invite the proxy ;
war that too easily can grow into
face-to-face combat between the
world's military titans.
THIS government knows full well
that the Middle Eastern sore spot
cannot be allowed to go on festering
It understands, too, that Israel
will be progressively less able to
meet Arab threats if a halt is not
had to the rearming of its neigh
bors. But it is America'! belief that
the solution of this controversy
must be gained under the ausoices
of the United Nations. Dag Ham-
marskjold's brilliant start, with the
arrangement of a truce, suggests
our hopes are reasonable.
And, as Dulles noted, there are
signs Russia, too. is necoming
