PARTY CONVENTION
By Charles V. Stanton
The Democratic Party in Orrfron this year is preparing
to do something it has been contended in this column time
and again should bo done. The narty is planning to hold
county and slate conventions. Details haven't yet been
worked out in full, but the general plan has been announced.
Committees are being formed to handle details. Appear
ances are that one of the first conventions will be held here
in Douglas County.
If the Democrats get together for caucus and conven
tion, we may expect that Republicans will follow suit. It
is in keeping with the past that Republicans are slow about
adopting new ideas and methods and will be forced into ac
tion by the more liberal and free-and-easy Democrats. Hut
I think it is safe to assume, both parties will use a semi
convention system in the immediate future.
It has been my belief for many years that our existing
primary system is next to useless. In fact, I see in our
present method the complete destruction of parties event
ually and the substitution of a system favorable to self
starters and opportunists.
No Parry Brakes
The political party vehicle presently is completely with
out brakes. It must take any passenger who wants to ride
on the party bandwagon, regardless of ability, party con
tribution, general efficiency. All a candidate needs is suf
ficient popularity to get voles and the party must accept
him.
If we are to continue our present practice, why should
we have parties? Of what value is a party platform or
policy? No candidate is required to follow party dictates.
He can do as he pleases. He is more or less independent
in his political actions. He can follow a course exactly op
posite to that charted by his party, and there's nothing the
parly can do about it. It can't boot him off the band
wagon. It can't put brakes on his career. It must carry
him regardless of whether he pays his fare or is a con
genial passenger.
It seems to me that a political party should have some
voice concerning what candidate, or candidates, should
bear the party name and label. It seems to me that the
party should tell those registered with that party whether
a candidate has qualifications and policies entitling him to
wear the party name and to represent the party in an elec
tion. Such policy would not prevent competition. 'Where two
or more qualified men sought the same office it wouldn't
be necessary for the party leaders to favor one above the
other, provided both qualified
one man was a good Democrat, one who had contributed
to the welfare ot the party,
and effective manner, and had all necessary qualifications,
while his opponent was a demagogue and opportunist, seek
ing to no elected only because he figured he could get the
most votes by enlisting as a Democrat, the party should have
the right to make a recommendation to its members. No
one would be bound by the recommendation. Anv self
starter still could get into the race. But to get the party
nod he would have to prove himself worthy.
Strong Parties Needed
Many times the statement has been made in this col
umn that we need strong political parties. I don't believe,
however, that parties should become so strong that an in
dependent wouldn't be considered. Political candidacy al
ways should be open to any man seeking office. The 'man
should be considered on his merits. He should bo able to
enter the primaries as an independant. If. however, he
elects to enter a campaign as a representative of a politi
cal party, then the membership of that party should have
something to say whether he is or is not acceptable.
Another thing is that we have divisions within political
parties. Democratic leadership in Oregon in lata venrs has
swung far to the left. That is a radiail departure for Ore
gonians who for many years have been in the conservative
ranks. Hut the Democratic Parly also has a conservative
clement. Conservatives haven't had much chance in late
years. The play has been taken away from them bv the
so-caueu minerals.
the Liberals probably will control any party conven
tion. At the same time the conservative element will make
demands. Compromise is one of the most valuable factors
in politics. It Prevents rxt romps ill Pit hni i i I'nnl inn Wit U
the party meeting in convention, it undoubtedly will be
able to exert a measure of discipline, will reach a more
favorable compromise with its conservative wing, will put
some teeth in its policies and platform and will exhibit a
far more responsible side.
It may take several years to work out a satisfactory
convention system. But the fact that the start has been
made is most gratifying to me.
W. Governors' Meet Bans
Presidential Policy Talk
SUN VALLEY. Idaho (AP)-If
there is one thing Democrats who
will attend Ihe Western Gover
nors Conference agree upon.- it is
thai presidential politics should
be kept off stage.
Six of them and five of their
Republican counterparts will be
on hand for the Thursday opening
of Ihe five-day conference at this
southern Idaho resort.
Some of the observers seem to
think Gov. Edmund Brown of
California will take this opportun
ity to wet his political finger and
wave it aloft.
Brown and hi aides have de
nied any such intentions. Fellow
Democrats say in effect: "That's
fine. This is no place for I960
maneuvers, anyway."
Democratic Govs, Joseph J.
llickcy of Wyoming, S. L. R.
McNichols of Colorado, John Bur
roughs of New Mexico, Allied

will attend. Gov. William A. Ecan

Psychological Problem'
Seen In K's Outbursts
WASHINGTON (AP) Nikila
Khrushchev sounds like a genial
undertaker. The Soviet Premier
can tell jokes but he has repeat
edly talked of death in one form
or another since he came here.
A psychologist might find it
gloomy that Khrushchev, who
switches from humor to anger in
a flash and who has Ihe power to
turn the cold war hot instantly,
dwells so much on corpses.
graves, annihilation, burial and
death.
He told the West three years ago
"We will bury you," explaining
when he got here that he had
meant communism would prove
itself superior lo capitalism. He
said he didn't mean the physical
act of burying.
Nevertheless, "bury" must be
high in his consciousness.
At the United Nations he spoke
of the need to bury a dead man
meaning the Formosan govern
ment of Chiang Kai-shek and
urged that the "corpse" be carted
away.
At one time he mentioned the
power of nuclear weapons to take
a "terrible toll in human lives"
and at another warned they could
cause the "annihilation of human
beings."
Morbid Phrases Listed
Ho referred to the colonial svs-
tem as "moribund," said a ques
tion about the Soviet Union s part
in crushing the Hungarian revolu
tion was a "dead rat stuck in
your throat," and talked of Easl
West peace as a "question of the
life or death of people."
He wondered out loud in I.os
Angeles if he should commit sui
cidethis was supposed to be a
joke because he couldn't see Dis
neyland, and he called for American-Soviet
assurance of peace lest
the earth be "covered with ashes
and graves."
Khrushchev is not a simple
man. Now, having elbowed bis
way to the top of the Communist
heap, he is used to having his
wav without contradiction. That

lt was a wonderful story. It can't

torium last night. V

with a new understanding of the

It was a fitting climax to the
Hundred Days out of which a new

What of the Centennial?
Well. . .
It didn't show a profit. It is
probable that it will cost the tax

couple of million dollars to a mil

prise financed by the two millions

only a little more than a dollar

may explain his sudden spurls of
anger when he thinks he is short
circuited or affronted.
But there is another possible ex
planation: that he is a lot less
self-assured than he tries to ap
pear. It would be easy, judging
from things he' says, to consider
him arrogant.
But that may be only a com
pensation for deep-rooted inferior
ity. Khrush Not Confident
His repeated boasts about Soviet
power and his brandishing of
rockets, even on this visit, are
not the language of a man truly
self-confident that Soviet power is
acknowledged and respected.
Ho spends too much time trying
lo compel respect too much time
at least for a man who firmly
believes he has respect.
He is quick-witted. He's tough.
But he is also impetuous for ex
ample, his bad temper with the
mayor of Los Angeles and (his
raises questions about his stabil
ity and his patient endurance un
der stress.
This is probably a matter of
concern for Western leaders in
dealing with him. It's possible
he's been putting on an act here,
using temper, backed by Soviet
power, as a kind of blackjack.
But the temper is there. If
Khrushchev's performance so far
could be summed up in a sen
tence, this might be it: he lacks
the grace of . a man who is really
sure of himself.
Yet Khrushchev himself, in talk
ing at the U.N., pointed out how
disastrous the instability of one
man could be at a time when one
trigger-pull on a hydrogen we;ipon
could start a war or destroy a
city.
He said then: "The world has
reached a point where on the
strength of no more than some
ridiculous accident, such as a
technical fault in a plane taming
a hydrogen bomb or mental aber
ration in the pilot behind the con
trols, may translate war into real
ity."
and Symington report that each
senator has had to turn down
more engagements than he could
accept. Congress ran so Lite this
year that some dates for early
September had to be canceled.
Kennedy's office said requests
for appearances have been comi.ig
into his office at the rate of 6.000
to 8.0(H) a year, which figures out
to around 20 a day.
"We have some people spending
all their time just writing regret
letters." an aide said. "We can

Girl Quits Parents
On Their Departure
For Native Russia
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
(AP) A tall and pretty blonde
teen-ager chose to stay in Argen

her elder sister sailed away to
the Soviet Union.
Margarita Celia Lisowsky, 15,
told reporters today she had been
fighting for months against her
parents' decision to go to the
Soviet Union but finally knuckled
down Friday.
Argentine policemen, however,
saw her board the French liner
Provence as she was about to sail
and told the girl she could refuse
lo go with her family because she
was born in Ihis country. She
agreed and police escorted her
from the vessel and took her to
a slate home for unattended chil
dren. 1
There she told newsmen her
father, Pedro Lisowsky, worked
as a carpenter specializing '.n lay

lo go home to Kazakhstan.

Her sister l.idia Ana. 21, and
also Argentine-born, agreed to go
with her parents but Margarita
twice in June and again in
August forced the family to
abandon travel plans. She said
she told her parents she was
strongly against communism.

ents, she agreed lo go but when

which lo teed, fish eat the plank
ton, so when it is scarce fish are,
too.
"When fish disappear we lose
the only 'uphill movement of nu
trients.' Basic elemenls are inevi
tably carried from higher ground
to the sea. The Only way the proc
ess can he reversed is for fish to
bring the elements back as they
migrate upstream (o spawn and
die.
"This has a tremendous effect
on game life. A classic example
occurred just to the north when a
slide blocked Hell's Gate on Ihe
Frascr River of British Columbia
years ago and halted the salmon
runs. It wasn't long before trap
pers found game animals much
scarcer on the upper Frascr."
Groundwork Started
Much basic groundwork must be
completed before the radioactive
isotopes are iut to use. But even
with eight years remaining in the
project a start on use of "hot"
tracers was made this summer.
Already rate-ofgrowth curves
have been charted for plankton
from various levels of the 25-foot
deep, 20-acre lake. The graphs
cover many types of organisms
and times of the year they thrive.
Water temperatures also are care
fully recorded.
Graduate forestry students also
have: (1) Catalogued all types of
plants, trees and vegetation in the
area, (2) made an inventory of
the soils, thcir water storage and
food value, and (3) charted the
rnmDlete hvdrologic cycle which
includes total rainfall and what
happens to it afterward.
