PUZZLING DECISION
By Charles V. Stanton
Eyes and ears will be tuned tomorrow on the Republican
convention in Chicago. Tomorrow we'll know who the Re
publicans will nominate for President and we may Know
who is favored for Vice President.
Most observers expect the almost unanimous nomina
tion of Nixon for President. Yet the "draft Rockefeller"
movement is an important factor. While I can't see much
,nffron,.o Mnwn Rockefeller's position and current social
istic policies, I believe it is a good thinjr to have a contest
in the convention and not to have the whole thinft one-sided.
The big interest, however, will rest in Nixon's choice of
a running mate. The selection, I feel, will give assurance
of the direction the Republican Party will take in its campaign-
. , ,, , , .
The Democratic convention, for example, pulled a big
surprise and nominated Lyndon Johnson.
If anv man had a right to refuse the nomination, John
son was the man. His position as majority leader in the
Senate is one of great political importance. Furthermore,
from that position he has been able to protect the minority
standing of the South.
If elected Vice President be will have little influence in
governmental policies and activities. As a thorn in the lib
eral thumb, he has been plucked out.
His selection, however, was a gesture to heal the rup
ture created by the southern rebellion concerning the civil
rights plank.
Republican Choice
The question now arises, will Republicans also choose
the politic path? Will Rockefeller be offered the Vice Pres
idency for purposes of appeasement? Will the grand ges
ture be made toward the huge New York state vote? If
Rockefeller is nominated for the Vice Presidency, it is evi
dence that the Republican Party is willing to yield to ex
pediency as a means of gaining votes, I believe.
Then there is the possibility that the Republican con
vention will attempt to counteract the Democratic appeal
to the South.
Republicans have no nope of getting approval in the
Deep South. The Deep South has had no love for the Re
publican Party since Reconstruction days and with good
reason. No Republican is apt to get any appreciable Hum
ber of votes from the Deep South.
But Republicans in late years have made inroads into
the border states. Consequently, Sen. Morton of Kentucky
would possibly bring some votes into the Nixon camp. Too,
be would be a good choice from the political standpoint.
Fred Seaton of Nebraska, present Secretary of the Interior,
is mentioned as a possible nomination to bring the great
mid-West into the Republican camp. The mid-West, with
its farm problems, is expected to be a major battleground
in the coming campaign.
Communism Is Issue
Many observers feel that the convention will pick Henry
Cabot Lodge, now serving as the United Slates ambassador
to the United Nations.
if Lodge is chosen, it will be an indication, I believe,
that the issue of communism is to become one of the major
talking points of the campaign.
Nixon won considerable acclaim for his rough talk with
Khrushchev. The fact that the vice president stood his
ground and talked back was pleasing to most people in the
United Stales.
Lodge, too, has been vigorous in his opposition to com
munism in the United Nations.
If Nixon and Lodge should be placed on the same ticket,
it would indicate that the policy of being tough with Russia
would prevail.
At the Democratic convention some of the speakers ad
vised a softer tone toward Russia. 1 hey leaned toward
"communication with Red China.
The two parlies presently seem to lack any hard and
fast cleavage. One, it is true, is a little more right than
the other, but not too far. There is a possibility the Re-
publicans, now in the middle-of-the-road, will swing further
left, which would bring the two groups even closer into line
But it is possible that a big issue and point of argument
could be built around the method of dealing with Russia and
with communism. A lot will depend upon the selection of the
Republican vice president
For the moment, let's forget the
Republican national convention,
which as this is written is assem
bling in Chicago and getting ready
to buckle down to its serious busi
ness of adopting a platform and
nominating candidates for Presi
dent and vice president.
So let's turn our attention to Uni
ted Nations headquarters in New
York, where this morning the
shooting down by Russian fighter
planes of a U.S. reconnaissance
plane is under consideration.
At this morning'i session, the
United States accused Russia of a
"criminal and reckless act of pi
racy." The accusation was made
by Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. am
bassador to United Nations. Not
only, Ambassador Lodge charged,
was our plane shot down over in
ternational waters where it had
a RIGHT to be.
Before it was shot down, he said,
a Soviet fighter plane TRIED TO
FORCE IT OVER ONTO SOVIET
TERRITORY thus creating an
incident designed to prove that we
were guilty of acts provocative of
war.
How do we know that is what
happened?
At this morning s session of U.N.
Ambassador Lodge reported
that secret U.S. electronic devices
based in England tracked the plane
throughout its entire flight.
So
He said
We KNOW what happened.
In a formal resolution, our am
bassador to U.N. challenged Mos
cow to submit the case to invest!'
gation by a commission composed
of Russia and the United States or
to take it before the International iust-a-century-later 1960
Court of Justice at The Hague. It is just as well for us to re

not to defend ourselves. We have
done nothing which requires de
fense. We want the U.N. council
to deal with this criminal and
reckless act of piracy committed
by The Soviet Union so that our
men, now in illegal detention, may
be freed, and so that the whole
world may breathe more easily
again."
Russia Immediately rejected the
demand.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Vasily V. Kuztensov termed
Lodge's presentation of the U.S.
side of the controversy "a coarse
fabrication from beginning to end
made up lor the deceit of the peo
ple of the United States and world
public opinion and WITH ISO r AC
TUAL MATERIAL BEHIND IT."
He added that the Soviet Union
is resolutely against any investi
gations or the setting up of any
commissions.
Wny this recital of what hap
pened this morning at United Na
tions headquarters?
Well, it is against this dark back
ground that the Republican nation
al convention assembles in Chicago
to adopt a platform and nominate
its party candidates for President
and vice president.
In many ways (including the
dark backdrop) it resembles the
Republican convention that assem
bled in Chicago just a few days
more than a century ago to adopt
a platform and nominate candi
dates for the presidency and the
vice presidency.
In much of our happy past, we
have regarded national conventions
as three-ring circuses designed for
our entertainment. That wasn't
true in 1860. It lsn t true in this

Thruston Morton Throws
Mean Political Harpoon
CHICAGO (NEA) Republican
National Chairman Thruston B.
Morton has provided this most se
date of all political conventions the
only sparks of enthusiasm it has
registered beyond Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller's sideshow.
This has demonstrated that the
Republicans would maice no mis
take if they pick Morton fur their
vice presidential candidate. But
even if that does not materialize,
his political know-how will be avail
able to run the GOI' national cam-Daicn.
Senator Morion throws a mean
political harpoon, though he does it
with all the grace of the perfect
Kentucky gentleman, which he is.
He can talk to eggheads like a
Yale intellectual, which he also is.
Then, without a moment's hesita
tion, he can turn and talk like a
Kentucky hillbilly to address a
courthouse square political rally.
He has a keen sense of wit and
sarcasm, with a fund of good
stories with which to wow any audi
ence. In short, he has the sure-fire
common touch lacking in the other

Belly-Breathing Is Better
Than A Tranquilizer Pill
NEW YORK (AP)-llilde Som
er. one of America's best-known
lady concert pianists, has an un
usual prescription for e happier
life become "a belly breather."
Miss Somer spends six hours a
day at the keyboard. But she says
the real key lo her own rose
cheeked vitality is a series of
five-minute Yoga exercises she
does three times daily.
And she believes that anyone
who tries them will find they do
more than tranquilizer pilli to
make him feel happier.
"The Yoga exercises do more
than keep you in physical trim.
They help your mental attitude.
I think they can help anyone who
Is victim of 20th century pres
sure," she said.
"Yoga exercises help you en
joy each fraction of the thorny
path toward your goal. You can
till be ambitious and be happy
if you don't tie yourself into 1
thousand uneccssary knots."
But the biggest secret of all,
aid Miss Somer, is to learn to
breathe in the Yoga manner.
"There are three of
breathing with the upper part of
your chest, through expansion of
your diaphragm, and through
your belly," he said.
"It is breathing through your
belly that calms you."
Yeah, but just how do you do
that, ma'am?
"You just lie down and let the
ir out through, your nose very
lowly without pushing, an
swered Miss Somer. She wrapped
her skirts around her knees, then
stretched out on the floor.
"Then you breathe in very slow
ly, until your belly feels very
plump and full. It's hard to de
scribe verbally, but if you experi
ment you can learn it. It takes
practice. It takes research on
your own anatomy. Do you want
to trv it?"
"Not now. ma'am," I lold her
bashfully.
That night at home I lay down
on the floor, let the air out
through my nose carefully with
out pushing and tried to let some
air in through my belly, nothing
much happened.
"Now what are you up to. Rov
er'" asked my wife. 1 told her
with husbandly dignity I was dis
covering joy through belly breath
ing. "If that makes you happy, you
should be the most cheerful man
in the world," my wife replied.
"Your stomach looks as if some
one had done nothing but pump
air into it for 10 years. Maybe
what you need is to find i way
to let some of it out."
MULLARKEY MAKES LIST
Lawrence E. Mullarkey of Glen
dale was recently named on the
Washington State University spring
semester honor mil
To make the W.S.U. honor roll,
students must have SO or more
grade points, based on time in
clasi timet grade poinli.
It is Morton who has kept up
the drum fire of attacks on the
Democrats ever since he was
made GOP National Chairman in
1959. He is already known to Re
publican political leaders all over
the country. He has traveled 45,
000 miles as GOP chairman, visit
ing every state except South Caro
lina, Arkansas, Mississippi, New
Mexico and Alaska.
He now lambasts Democratic
Presidential Candidate John F.
Kennedy for his vague "New Fron
tier and Spartan Pioneer Spirit."
He says, "By making Sanla Clans
of Uncle Sam, the Dcmocr.ils kill
the Spartan Pioneer Spirit for
which they call."
He tears into Democratic Vice
Presidential Candidate Lyndon
Johnson, "the Senate Majority
Leader who early this year laid
down 14 specific promises for leg
islative action, on which he had
delivered only a part of one."
This Morton identifies as, "the
watered - down Civil Rights bill
which took four months ta pass
over heavy Democratic opposition,
including a filibuster, the Demo
crats had a two to one majority."
The whole Democratic platform
Morton characterizes as "a glit
tering array of promises which
Democratic Congressional majori
ties could have enacted any time
since 1955, but didn't. He now pre
dicts the Democrats will again
ignore it.
As a shrewd political operator,
Morton charged that "a deal has
been made" and prophesied a Kennedy-Johnson
ticket two weeks be
fore the Democratic convention
opened.
If Candidate Nixon wants a hard
hitting, aggressive running mate,
Morton would seem to he his man.
His one great drawback is that if
he gives up his Senate seat, the
Republicans would lose his vote.

With Kennedy it was just a

LONE OSPREY OF DESCHUTES
Band Bulletin
Shades of the Osprey of the Deschutes!
Many Bend residents will recall
that big brown bird with the white:
vest, trequenuy rcierrea lo as Ine
king of the fish hawks.
heasonauy it came to me Mirror:
Pond, perched high on a high pine
with a divided top, cruised over
the river, then, on occasion, dived
into the water and came up with
a trout.
The invasion of the Mirror Pond
by the Osprey angered some local
fishermen. They demanded that
the bird be shot.
To the rescue of the Osprey of
the Deschutes came the late Rob
ert W. Sawyer, long time publisher
of The Bulletin. In a barrage of
editorials, he laid low the anglers
who would kill the bird.
The Osprey of the Deschutes
survived; its offspring occasionally
return to the river lo pick up a
tew iroui.
These memories are revived by
a news story from London. Eng
land.
The Osprey, it is noted in the
story, are setting up house in Scot
land again, after an exile lasting!
more than 50 years. They were
hunted out of Scotland half a cen
tury ago by the guns of sportsmen
and raids by egg collectors.
In 1908, the Ospreys ceased to
breed in Scotland.
Now they are coming back to re
mote Loch Garten in the Scottish
Glenns. And, guess what? They arc
becoming a top tourist attraction.
.More than 13,000 curious already
have trekked to Loch Garten,
where a pair of Osprey have pro
duced two young. By the end of
the season, 25,000 visitors are ex
pected. The Osprey made its Scottish
comeback amid security precau
tions unrivaled in ornithological
history. The nesting area has been
surrounded by Barbed wire.
The birds are being watched
through glasses. And their nest
has been wired for a microphone
There was great joy when baby

big news in Scotland today. The
Automobile Association has put up
signs reading: "Osprcys 2 miles.

GAMES FOR EVERYBODY
Portland Oregonian
Vice President Nixon has been
criticized for applying the irrever
ent term "growthmanship" to the
practice, currently popular among
politicians of both parties, of mea
suring the nation's well-being in
terms of the growth in production
Yet one need only examine the
public record of recent references
to the growth in the GNr to tin
derstand Mr. Nixon's attitude. The
battle of words does have more of
the characteristics of a game than
of serious debate, ror example
the Boston Herald points out thai
Sen. Frank Church was playing
the growthmanship game fast and
loose when, in his keynote address
at the Democratic National ton
vention, he said:
"Compare the past seven years
under this Republican Adininistra
tion with the previous seven under
tne Democrats. During tno iru
man Administration, our gross na
tional product increased an aver
age of 4.7 per cent each year, un
der the Eisenhower Administration
the increase has averaged only 2 3
per cent, less than half as much
Sen. Church has calculated cor
rectly the relationship between the
successive national volumes of pro
duction. But a very significant
point he did not make allow
ance for inflation. If the GNP fig
ures furnished by the Department
of Commerce are read in terms
of a constant standard, the 1954
dollar, they show quite a different
picture: The average annual rate
of increase in the Truman years
was about 1.9 per cent, in the Ei
senhower years about 2.7 per cent.
Truman had to take the rap for
tne snarp reduction in production
at the end of World War II. but
he gets credit for three of the four
Korean war years.
Here are the figures in terms
of percentages of loss or gain (the

G.M'K
TRANSISTOR HAZARD
Salem Oregon Statesman
The scene is a sandy spit along
the ocean, two miles from the
nearest habitation. A perfect spot
to commune with nature. But here
comes a couple strolling down the
beach with a transistor pocket
radio blaring the "Top 50" tunes
and the smooth and idle cnatter of
the disc jockey.
The popularity of the transistor
radio makes it virtually impossible
to escape from the shiny shellac
of society Into the rugged and lone
some out-of-doors.
In a forest camp where r0 fam
ilies are camped among the trees,
there always seems to be one par
ty, unable to exist for even a day
without the opiate of disc jockgy
music. They run down their car
battery while annoying the other 49
famdies with their car radio.
One wouldn't dare propose the
abolition of radio in secluded areas
for fear of being accused of inter
fering with freedom and individual
liberty. And yet the freedom to
annoy other people wasn't one of
the four included in the Atlantic
Charter.
Perhaps the answer lies in fight
ing fire with fire. If a radio man
ufacturer should develop a small,
transistor-powered radio jamming
device, guaranteed to eliminate
programs within hearing distance
of the operator, we believe he
would find a ready market.

WASHINGTON (AP) It's up
to the government to take the
leadership in building dams if the
nation's water resources are to be
fully conserved and developed.
This was the recommendation
of Dr. Edward A. Ackerman of
the Washington, D.C., Carnegie
Institution, in a report received
by the Senate Select committee
on National Resources.
Ackerman said there will be ur
gent need for every drop of water
in the next 50 years. He urged
construction of big multipurpose
dams.
Suggestions Made
His suggestions included:
"Establish comprehensive de
velopment ... as the procedural
pattern for future action in water
resource development.
"Make the creation or comple
tion of integrated basinwide regu
lation systems a primary objec
tive of federal activity on all
streams where physical conditions
and the legally determined feder
al interest make such ' regulation
appropriate.
"Simplify the federal program
concerned with direct water use.
(permit non-federal groups to
build small irrigation, flood pre
vention, power and recreation
projects.)
"Develop strategy for the growth
and application of technical im
provement (including scienuiic re
search aimed at increasing and
conserving water supplies.)"
Research Needed
"Develop strategy for the
growth and application of tech
nical improvement (including sci
entific research aimed at increas
ing and conserving water sup
plies.)" True comprehensive water de
I velopment which will be required
I in the future, Ackerman said, "is
I far more complex . . . task than
anything yet undertaken within
the United States.
Ackerman said it will be neces
sary to coordinate federal opera
tions with those of other public
and private agencies.
"Coordination should be under
taken," he said, "in a manner
which will assure that benefits
from . . . basinwide development
or large-scale organization of dis
tribution facilities will be avail
able in all parts of the country."

Pelly is considered by delegates
as the man mainly responsible for
the proposed shift of regional post
