'Your Fault!"
FIREWORKS COMING
Bv Charles V. Stanton
Republicans all over the country doubtless will be bail
ing the Senate action on the proposed Hells Canyon hiKn
dam as an outstanding political victory. v,... ,u.,.. ...
It also is possible that the vote, in which the project was
beaten 51 to 41. is an omen of a far more heated battle with
in the Democrat party at its comintr political convention.
Advocates of the federal Hells Canyon dam are utterinsr
shrill protests about the "pressure" exerted by the Eisen
hower administration.
Let's consider that angle, too!
Possibly the Eisenhower administration did pressure
Republican members of the Senate. It certainly was con
sistent in its policy if it did so, for the "partnership pro
jrram of the Eisenhower administration is one of its funda
mentals in resource management.
But don't think the Democrats were failing to put the
heat on members on their side of the aisle! Hells Canyon
has been built into a tremendous political issue. Democrats,
seeking to aid Pacific Northwest Democratic senators in
their campaigns for re-election, have been pressing the
federal Hells Canyon bill to build prestige for those candi-

from one side than from the other. Republicans have as p
na,,aa in rnmnlnin about oressure as do the L)emo-ii
crata. '
"Giveaway" Repudiated
Democrats have been striving to build a propaganda
structure with repeated charges of "giveaway' of natural
resources. The Hells Canyon project was exhibited as the
most flagrant evidence of these so-called "giveaway' pol
icies. But the Senate action is a stinging repudiation of the
propaganda effort, leaving our two Oregon senators, in par
ticular, out on a limb., Not that we expect them to change
their tune in the least, however. They have never been
known to be discouraged by proof of their misrepresenta
tions. , . , i
The Hells Canyon controversy, which never was a pol
itical issue, except as it was made into one for propaganda
purposes, has now lost much of its effectiveness as a. polit
ical hammer. .
But, I believe, one of the interesting developments in
the case is to be found in the voting record of the senators.
Southern Split indicated
In the debate on the floor of the Senate there was con
siderable discussion about Americans for Democratic Ac
tion Hip Knrinlist-dnminiited organization controling the
northern wing of the Democrat party. Southern Demo-m-nto
urhn aim rlinir to .Inffersoniun traditions, especially
states' rights, proclaimed their antagonism to ADA social
istic principles. Seven or the eignt senators voiiiik wum
Republicans against the Federal Hells Canyon bill, were
from southern states.
What docs this presage at the forthcoming party con
vention?
Naturallv, we can only conjecture. But we may be sure
the ADA will press for a strong civil rights plank in the
partv platform. Southern delegates will be vigorously op
posed to such a plank. Refusal of the seven southern sen
ators, despite pressure, to go along with the party vote on
the Hells Canyon measure, indicates the strength of the
southern rebellion, which may be expected to reach a crisis
at' the Democratic party convention.
It is probable that we'll see some interesting fireworks
in connection with that meeting.

Clarifying Of Oregon
Dog Law Held Needed
ROSEBURG A few years ago
a law was passed in Oregon to
slop dogs from running at large.
The law reads: "ORS 609.080

No dog shall run at large or off
tlie premises of the owner or keep
er thereof, in any county, nrecenct
or city which, by vote, comes un

it has a shepherd s muzzle made
of wire or metal and properly
fastened around his nose and neck
sufficiently strong to prevent him
from biting or injuring any per
son, or sheep, goat or other dom
estic animal."
ORS 609.010 states how the el

county or one precinct or city,

I apparently failed to make my opinions clear with repard
to the matter of supervised swimmiiiK pools. I have had
several calls from people who assumed that I was opposed
to public swimminir pools.
If anyone formed such opinion, I hasten to make cor
rection. I believe pools to be most desirable and, in fact,
essential, and I would encourage every effort to develop
more pools for the community. 1 believe they are neces
sary for recreation and for instruction in fundamentals of
swimming.
The point I was trying lo make was that of the im
portance of a "transition" between the pool and flowing
water, and the danger of overconfidence on the part of the
swimmer who might not be aware of the hazards involved
in bathing in rivers.

limiting factors proposed by the
Congress itself and to the recom

air force and to my own best
judgment as to Ihe security needs
of the nation," Wilson said.
As to relative U. S. -Soviet air
power, Wilson said "any one of a
number of assumptions could be
proven by the best intelligence es
timates available," depending un
how a question was phrased.

He added that it is his belief
"based upon evaluation of the
facts, that in our over-all air
strength we are ahead of the Rus
sians today and we intend in the
future to build and maintain total
air strength capable of preserving
the security of the United States,
as a visible deterrent to wari of

Wilson said he had restudied the
testimony before the five-man Sen
ate subcommittee and disagreed
with Symongton's comment about
inconsistencies.
The secretary said the military
problems being investigated by
the Senate group "are extremely
complicated." In seeking solu

"the advice and opinions of Ihe
most highly qualified experts our
country can provide."
