FACING REALITY
By Charles V. Stanton
Speaking at a political meeting in Roseburg a few
days ago, ConR. Charles O. Porter publicly blamed Ore
gon's lumber slump on "the high interest rate and anti
housing policies of the Republican administration."
Porter isn't the only candidate harping on that theme.
It has been auite treneral down the line. Naturally, such
talk sounds good here where
ent upon the welfare of the Jumber industry.
But it is hard for me to Relieve that anyone who will
face realities and will speak with responsibility will urge
that we build more houses when it is quite evident that
we're already overbuilt.
Reliable economists tell us that we have a surplus of
homes in America. I saw figures recently that we now
have 58 million dwelling units in this country with 52 mil
lion household units.
Is it smart to go on building houses when a surplus
already exists, with the motive to provide a stimulant for
the lumber industry? If private capital shies from the in
vestment of money in home construction, because there
is no sale for existing dwellings, should taxpayer money be
used for public housing? If we prime the pump and turn
out more houses to increase the existing surplus, what will
be the final outcome for the lumber industry?
It is indeed true that we would be greatly pleased by
stimulation of the lumber industry. But do we want such
stimulation by lowering property values and killing the
market for the future?
Room For Argument
Concerning the frequent declaration that the country
has a "tight money policy" I can see where there is room
for argument between two schools of thought.
That the tight money policy is to be blamed on the
administration, however, is something of which I am not
convinced.
Our interest rales, which govern "tight money" are
set by the Federal ' Reserve Board. The Federal Re
serve Board was created to take our fiscal policy out of
politics. The board is non-partisan.
It is the policy of the board to control the "accelera
lion" of money. When money flows too rapidly, and in
flation impends, the Federal Reserve Board hikes the in
terest rates, whereupon less money becomes available for
loans and general circulation. There is less borrowing at
the higher rate. The movement of money is slackened.
Then, when there is too little money moving, interest rates
are dropped, whereupon more money goes into circulation.
The amount of money in circulation has a marked ef
fect on inflation. It is the movement of money, its accel
eration or its sluggishness Tather than the total amount,
that produces inflation, recession or depression.
So the Federal Reserve
vide a balance. It applies
brake to keep the country a money moving at nearly uni
form speed. Should those agencies within the policy con
trol of the administration act contrary to the Federal Re
serve Board?
But there is another philosophy connected with the
movement of money.
Revenue From Growth
There appears to be one school of thought that we can
have cheap money and, by increased production, levy more
i taxes and thereby secure enough additional revenue to pay
! the costs that would accompany cheap money.
On that basis we're told that we should let down the
bars that have been erected against inflation.
Be that as it may, I can't be convinced that we are
using good sense to build more houses than we can sell or
; occupy, still expecting an industry to prosper. We built
1 1 million dwelling units in the last eight years. That's
more than we are said to need.
This talk then of building more houses, seems to me
to sound more like "sweet talking" the voter and the in-
dustry than facing up to reality.
Planes Seek Sub !
OH Guatemala
WASHINGTON (AP) U.S.
planes have made a search in the
Pacific coastal area of Guatemala
in response to that country's re
quest to check reports of an un
identified submarine, the Navy
has disclosed.
This development was the latest
in a flurry of submarine sighting
report and hunts.
It coincided with a new claim
by Soviet Premier Khrushchev to
day that the Soviet Union now
has atomic-powered submarines
armed Willi missiles like the
Polaris ships of tho U.S. Navy.
There was no immediate official
rnminent from the Navy on
Khrushchev's claim.
However, reports have been cur
rent for several months that the
Red fleet has from one to three
nuclear submarines undergoing
sea trials, part of a force of a
dozen atomic-powered submersi
ble built or being built.
There was no disclosure of the
results of the hunt off Guatemala.
Both Navy headquarters and At

Hits New Record
SALEM (AP) There were
708,800 persons employed In Ore
gon in September, the highest to
tal on record for that month, Da-
id Cameron, slate employment
commissioner, said today.
The ficure was 11.000 more than
in September, 1959. but it dropped
19,000 from the preceding month.
Cameron said the drop was nor
mal because of the fall decline in
farm employment. Cameron esti
mated there were 2H..S00 unem
ployed persons last month, or 4,800
more Uian a year earlier.
However, unemployment de
creased by 3,200 from the August
figure. Cameron said this drop
was caused by reopening of
schools, causing withdrawal of stu
dents from the labor market.
Cameron said employment in 24
counties is belter than a year ago,
with Multnomah, Lane. Washing

In Los Angeles the other day,
Henry Cabol Lodge, Republican
candidate for vice president of the
U.S. and for many years U.S. dele
gate to United Nations, was being
interviewed on a TV panel show
by a group of educators, lie was
asked why, in his opinion, Soviet
Premier Khrushchev came to New
York for the UN session.
He answered:
"Well, the Communists might be
trying to do today in New York
what they did in Russia in 1917
(when the Bolsheviks took over.)
In that year, they LOST AN ELEC
TION, but Lenin declared that ex
isting election procedures were
outmoded, and the Communists
took over anyway." .
He added:
"Khrushchev might have decid
ed: 'If 1 come to New York and
do what Lenin did in the constitu
ent assembly in Leningrad, maybe
I can BREAK UP the United Na

But, Lodge concluded, "I think
Khrushchev will find the United

' Interesting?

Foreign Policy Is Subject
Of Fourth Debate Tonight
WASHINGTON (AP) For one
hour tonight the presidential can
didates will debate foreign policy
on TV witn neither likely to pro
duce a new idea on the No. 1 for
eign policy problem: How to deal
with Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
They'll no doubt argue on who's
tough, what each said or didn't
say about Quemoy and Matsu,
how to cope wilh Fidel Castro,
aid for backward countries, and
the need for big defense. They
may even talk about a summit
meeting with the Russian.
America's basic policy in han
dling international communism
has been big defense, military
alliances, and aid for countries
which need and accept it to keep
them out of communism.
That was the Truman policy
from the start of the Korean War.
It has been the Eisenhower policy
every since. In all their discus
sions Vice President Richard M.
Nixon and Sen. John K. Kennedy
havo made no basic addition to
it.
What they are really arguing is
not some new policy, but which
of them can handle the old one
belter. What they have said so
far in essence is: More of the
same but bigger.
They have been discussing de
tails of the basic policy although
in the end the way those details
are handled for instance, the size
and excellence of our defense
may mean the difference between
survival and submission.
Therefore, what the volers have
to decide is which of these two
men, Nixon or Kennedy, can be
trusted to carry out the already
established policy belter by new
or belter programs to enforce it
or enlarge it.
ho tonight the candidates on TV
will be doing a selling iob. each
offering the same product in dif-J
tcreni wrappings.
The Nixon-Kennody disputes on
foreign policy are in a sense an
echo in reverse of the 1952 presi
dential race between Dwighl D.
Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson.
But the very echo shows how
acute the problem has become.!
Eisenhower then, as Kennedy is
urging now, called for building up
American retaliatory strength.
And Stevenson was saying

turn to us.
Coming from Mr. Lodge, that is
interesting, nut Mr. Lodue isu t
alone in his feeling that there
may be something to this much
rumored break between the Rus
sian Communists and the Chinese
Communists.
Speaking in London the other
day, British Prime Minister Mac
in ilia n predicted the democratic
way of life, with its better moral
and spiritual values, ultimately
would triumph over communism
He added, however, that Khrush
chev's call for peaceful coexistence
was more reasonanie man tne Chi
nese Communist view of the inev
itability of armed conflict.
He added:
"If I may venture, without im
Dertinence. to join this controver
sy, 1 am bound to say I lean more
to the Russian and am opposed to
the Chinese view.
That is to say-
Britain's Premier Macmillan
takes some stock in this idea that
Communist Russia and Communist
China are HEADED FOR A SPLIT
as was suggested by Mr. Lodge
in Los Angeles the other day.
What shall we do?
We'd better keep our fingers
crossed and our powder dry. But
it is at least interesting when men
of the stature of Air. Lodge and
Premier Macmillan hint at the pos
sibility of a split in the communist
ranks.
stronger measures were needed to
protect American cities from
growing Soviet airpower.
That was only eight years ago
yet in that time the peril of the
contest with Communism, and al
most its very nature, have in
creased so enormously that it is
almost as if the world had moved

Editorial
Lot Angeles Timet
What began as an almost offhand
disagreement over the location of
the U.S. defense perimeter in the
Formosa Strait has now exploded
into an election issue. As often
happens in campaigns, the verifi
able record is becoming obscured
by politically motivated charges
and speculation which are far re
moved from both reality and pos
sibility. Kennedy's Position
Sen. Kennedy believes that the
defense line should be drawn to
exclude the offshore islands of Que
moy and Malsu, now held by the
Editor's Note This editorial
comment, taken from the Los
Angeles Times, explains the his
tory and policies connected with
Quemoy and Matsu Islands, now
being mad an issue in the pres
idential campaign. The comment
is reprinted for the purpose of
giving information concerning
the issue, which is expected to
figure quite prominently in forth
coming campaign activity CVS
Chinese Nationalists of Formosa.
If elected, Kennedy says, he would
negotiate a withdrawal to insure
that "not a single American dies
on those islands."
Vice President Nixon, standing
by the firm and proved policy
which has been in effect since 1954,
believes that a Nationalist with
drawal from the islands would be
a gratuitous demonstration of
weakness and a shattering blow to
U.S. prestige throughout the world.
This difference of opinion,- as Mr.
Nixon has remarked, involves far
more than "these two little pieces
of real estate."
These are the facts on Quemoy
and Matsu:
In 1954, the Chinese Communists
openly'announced their intention of
taking Formosa by military force.
In December of that year, while
Communist guns were shelling
Quemoy and Matsu from the main
land nine miles away, the United
States signed a treaty with the
Nationalists guaranteeing the 'se
curity of Formosa and the Pesca
dores Islands.
Quemoy and Matsu were not
specifically included under the
terms of this treaty. President Ei
senhower, however sent his per
sonal assurances to Chiang Kai
shek that this country would de
fend the two islands if they were
attacked. Secretary Dulles also
said that while we would not de
fend the two islands "as such,"
we would protect them if an at
tack seemed a prelude to an at
tack on Formosa itself.
The U.S. Guarantee
Quemoy and Matsu lie off the
mainland ports of Amoy and Foo
chow. The U.S. viewpoint was that
since the Communists had said
they would use force to take For
mosa, and since the islands were
in the way of any. invasion, then,
in the words of Mr. Dulles, "the
Chinese Communists have linked
the coastal positions (Quemoy and
Matsu) to the defense o Formo
sa." Thus this country, without
resorting to a formal treaty, went
on record as guaranteeing their
security.
In 195g, when the Communists
were again bombarding the islands,
mis guarantee was implemented.
The U.S. 7th Fleet escorted Na
tionalist supply ships to within
three miles of Quemoy and Matsu,
helping them to break the Com
munist blockade. The 7th Fleet had
orders to fire if fired upon. The
communists dirt not lire. American
policy in the Formosa Straits had
passed its severest test.
this is the record on Quemoy
and Matsu. The defense of the is
lands, while supportable by Amer
ican sea and air power, rests in
Nationalist hands. Sen. Kennedy,
in asking if voters want to see
American fighting men die on
these islands, is raising a com
pletely emotional and fancied ques
tion. In doing so he ignores the
two most important facts regard
ing the islands.
Point 1 is that no Communist
invasion is possible without air
support. The Nationalist air force,
Hying U.S. jets armed with de-
vastatingiy etiecuve sidewinder
missiles, has long since establish-
-I 77T-. . i v 4 V lilt
Comment
ed air superiority over the Islands.
At the same time the United
Slates has put on Quemoy several
eight-inch howitzers, capable of
firing nuclear shells. (The war
heads remain in custody of the
U.S. Marines.) Any invasion fleet
from the mainland could be wiped
out by a nuclear air burst from
one of these cannons.
Prestige at Stake
Point 2 is that any withdrawal
of Nationalist troops would mean
the islands were automatically ced
ed to the Communists. Sen. Ken
nedy, who at the same time he
raised the Quemoy Matsu question
also worried aloud over loss of
U. 9. "position and prestige,"
should understand the consequenc
es of such a withdrawal. It would
not only encourage the Commu
nists lo further aggression; it
would also drastically undermine
faith in the United States among
every nation in the world with
whom we have joined to halt Com
munist expansion.
As this is written the debate be
tween the two candidates, which
is sure to touch again on the off
shore islands question, has not yet
concluded. The issue, however, al
ready seems clear. Sen. Kennedy
favors withdrawal by the Nation
alists to Formosa, with all of its
consequences to Nationalist mor
ale, encouragement of the Commu
nists, and loss of faith in the in
tegrity and resoluteness of 4. h e
United States. Mr. Nixon, on the
other hand, favors maintenance of
the status quo, which has kept the
Communists confined to the main
land and which was asserted U.S.
willingness to resist aggression.
The issue and the differences are
clear, probably clearer than any
other points in this campaign. The
electorate, in essence, is faced
wilh the choice of appeasement or
standing firm. They should have
no trouble in making their decision.
WHY WE CAN'T
SUPPORT MR. PORTER
Eugene Register-Guard ,
Two years ago, when Congress
man Charles O. Porter sought re
election, this newspaper gave him
its qualified endorsement. We can
not do so again. For, in our opin
ion, he has not settled down to
become a patient and effective
member of Congress. Rather, he
has continued a disruptive and dis
orderly course in which he has
sought to make of himself a one
man foreign affairs committee. He
has done so despite the wishes of
even his own party which has con
tinued lo restrict him to' minor
House committees. Chiefly for this
and similar reasons, the editorial
support of the Register-Guard this
year will go to Dr. Edwin Durno,
the Republican nominee.
Our abandonment of Mr. Porter
is not born of anger, but of disap
pointment. For here stands a man
who had so much to offer. His tre
mendous energies led him into by
ways he should not have been ex
ploring from his vantage point as
a very junior congressman of ques
tionable standing in his own party.
His espousal of the cause of Red
China (and the degree of this es
pousal seems to vary from time
to time) is. we think, damaging to
the diplomatic position of his own
government. A congressman, to be
sure, should stand up in his own
country and make his views known.
But we question the wisdom of his
junketing around the world and, in
foreigh lands, sniping at the poli
cies of his own government. In
especially bad taste was his visit
to the Far East in which he in
sulted Chiang Kai-shek and got Into
a squabble with the American am
bassador in Tokyo.
Mr. Porter's views on Castro also
leave much to be desired. He sees
the evil of the Castro regime. He
is now circulating copies of com
ments he made as early as Jan
uary of 1959. the month Castro
came to power, seeking to show
that he was not, as his accusers
say, "an apologist for Castro."
However, his too-ready acceptance
of Castro in the days when Castro
was still battling Batista shows a
tendency qn Mr. Porter's part to
make snap judgments that should
have been deferred. It shows fur
ther that Mr. Porter is guilty of
an attitude that too many Ameri
cans have possessed over the
years. He assumes that anybody
who opposes a scoundrel is a fine
fellow. Batista was a dictator. Cas
tro was against Balisla. There
fore Castro was good. That's faulty
logic. Dangerous, too.
We cannot see that, elsewhere In
Latin America, he has done the
American position any good. It is
more likely that his junkets have
been as confusing to Latin Ameri
cans as they must have been vex
ing to responsible officials in Wash
ington. His trips on Cyrus Eaton's mon
ey have revealed not "soilness to
ward communism" as his enemies
have hinted, but bad judgment.
His gratuitous assumption of the
role of the foreign affairs expert
has resulted in causing disorder.
And a foreign policy that is disor
derly is dangerous. There are chan
nels and there are reasons for
them. If Mr. Porler had been con
lent to bide his time, to "piav it
cool" for a term or two, members
of his own party, recognizing his
wit. his intelligence, his personal
charm, his devotion to duty and
his high-minded desire for world
peace might have assigned to him
progressively greater roles in for
eign affairs. But. by being too
quick to jump, he has lost any
effectiveness in this field.
Republicans who nominated Dr.
Durno last spring picked a man
with a fine record in the Legisla
ture and wilh a solid reputation in
his home community. Although
untried in the national arena, he
shows promise of eflective. consci
entious service in Congress. We
see nothing to indicate he would go
racing around the world, putting
his own government in an embar
rassing position in foreign capi
tals. For him we have great hopes.
Of Mr. Porter, after four vears, we
reluctantly conclude that 'he is un
bkely to "season."
We do not choose to join those
who accuse Mr. Porter of laiiness
or inattention lo his job. Our criti
cism of him lies in what we believe
to be the all-important arena of
foreign affairs. That is whv the
editorial endorsement of the Regis-tcr-Uuard
goes lo Dr. Durno.

Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, who
added he will ask the 1961 Legis

This division would file suits to

Thornton said it would protect

This Is so important, Thornton

Thornton said he got the idea
when he tried to prosecute 13 fra

said he found that he was helpless

he said.

the enemy did not ask them if they
were Catholic before they killed
them. They were good enough to
fight for us and yet not good
enough to be President, according
to this literature, I would like to
know how we Protestants feel we
are the only ones with such rights?
If the best man happens to be
Catholic we should not vote for
him just because- he is. If so,
our forefathers died in vain.
